This 30 00:01:45,600 --> 00:01:50,880 Speaker 1: is on Sunday, and my neighbor introduces me to a 31 00:01:50,920 --> 00:01:53,960 Speaker 1: friend of his who lives in Arizona. She happened to 32 00:01:54,000 --> 00:01:57,960 Speaker 1: be a Latina for the optics, maybe forty years old. 33 00:01:59,280 --> 00:02:02,600 Speaker 1: And I said, oh, Arizona, what do you think happened 34 00:02:02,600 --> 00:02:08,440 Speaker 1: to Nancy Guthrie? And she said, I think Trump had 35 00:02:08,480 --> 00:02:13,680 Speaker 1: something to do with her disappearance. I assumed she was joking. 36 00:02:15,080 --> 00:02:16,840 Speaker 1: I said, you're kidding, right, She said no, I'm not. 37 00:02:19,000 --> 00:02:21,200 Speaker 1: I said, what makes you think Trump had something to 38 00:02:21,200 --> 00:02:23,959 Speaker 1: do with it? Well, when he said we're going to 39 00:02:24,080 --> 00:02:27,320 Speaker 1: use all of our possible resources to find out what 40 00:02:27,400 --> 00:02:29,800 Speaker 1: happened to her, That's when I knew Trump had something 41 00:02:29,840 --> 00:02:32,040 Speaker 1: to do with her disappearance, honestly. 42 00:02:33,280 --> 00:02:33,480 Speaker 2: You know. 43 00:02:34,720 --> 00:02:36,040 Speaker 1: And so Nina and I just look at each other, 44 00:02:36,960 --> 00:02:40,760 Speaker 1: and my neighbor, who knows my politics, appeared embarrassed, and 45 00:02:40,800 --> 00:02:43,360 Speaker 1: he said, look, I'm switching to Switzerland. I'm staying out of this, 46 00:02:43,600 --> 00:02:47,040 Speaker 1: and we change this topic. Trump had something to do 47 00:02:47,120 --> 00:02:53,560 Speaker 1: with the disappearance of Nancy Gunthrie. Are you serious? I mean, 48 00:02:53,600 --> 00:02:56,040 Speaker 1: there really is something called Trump arrangement syndrome. And that's 49 00:02:56,320 --> 00:02:59,920 Speaker 1: probably about as sick an example as I've ever seen. 50 00:03:01,280 --> 00:03:03,200 Speaker 1: If you have something that can match that, are top that, 51 00:03:03,240 --> 00:03:05,200 Speaker 1: please give me a call. Triple eight ninety seven one 52 00:03:05,280 --> 00:03:08,720 Speaker 1: seven two four three, Triple eight ninety seven one seven 53 00:03:08,760 --> 00:03:18,280 Speaker 1: two four to three. Here's President Trump announcing Operation Epic 54 00:03:18,320 --> 00:03:20,280 Speaker 1: Fury number twenty five. 55 00:03:20,919 --> 00:03:26,240 Speaker 3: A short time ago, the United States military began major 56 00:03:26,320 --> 00:03:32,400 Speaker 3: combat operations in Iran. Our objective is to defend the 57 00:03:32,560 --> 00:03:38,360 Speaker 3: American people by eliminating eminent threats from the Iranian regime, 58 00:03:39,000 --> 00:03:40,240 Speaker 3: a vicious. 59 00:03:40,280 --> 00:03:43,960 Speaker 2: Group of very hard, terrible people. 60 00:03:45,240 --> 00:03:49,560 Speaker 3: It's menacing activities directly in danger the United States, our troops, 61 00:03:49,600 --> 00:03:54,360 Speaker 3: our bases overseas, and our allies throughout the world. For 62 00:03:54,360 --> 00:03:58,000 Speaker 3: forty seven years, the Iranian regime has chanted death to 63 00:03:58,080 --> 00:04:03,320 Speaker 3: America and waged an unending campaign of bloodshed and mass 64 00:04:03,400 --> 00:04:07,560 Speaker 3: murder targeting the United States, are troops and the innocent 65 00:04:07,640 --> 00:04:09,560 Speaker 3: people in many, many countries. 66 00:04:10,640 --> 00:04:12,280 Speaker 2: Among the regime's. 67 00:04:11,880 --> 00:04:15,280 Speaker 3: Very first acts was to back a violent takeover of 68 00:04:15,320 --> 00:04:20,280 Speaker 3: the US Embassy in Tehran, holding dozens of American hostages 69 00:04:20,320 --> 00:04:24,640 Speaker 3: for four hundred and forty four days. In nineteen eighty three, 70 00:04:24,680 --> 00:04:29,280 Speaker 3: Irans proxies carried out the Marine Barracks bombing in Beirut 71 00:04:29,360 --> 00:04:32,840 Speaker 3: that killed two hundred and forty one American military personnel. 72 00:04:34,000 --> 00:04:37,359 Speaker 3: In two thousand, they knew and were probably involved with 73 00:04:37,440 --> 00:04:43,680 Speaker 3: the attack on the USS coal many died. Iranian forces 74 00:04:43,760 --> 00:04:47,320 Speaker 3: killed and maimed hundreds of American service members in Iraq. 75 00:04:47,480 --> 00:04:51,719 Speaker 3: The regime's proxies have continued to launch countless attacks against 76 00:04:51,800 --> 00:04:55,800 Speaker 3: American forces stationed in the Middle East in recent years, 77 00:04:56,360 --> 00:05:00,320 Speaker 3: as well as US naval and commercial vessels in internetational 78 00:05:00,400 --> 00:05:05,280 Speaker 3: shipping lands. It's been mass terra and We're not going 79 00:05:05,360 --> 00:05:08,719 Speaker 3: to put up with it any longer. From Lebanon to 80 00:05:08,839 --> 00:05:13,560 Speaker 3: Yemen and Syria to Iraq, the regime has armed, trained, 81 00:05:13,640 --> 00:05:18,080 Speaker 3: and funded terrorist militias that have soaked the earth with 82 00:05:18,240 --> 00:05:23,640 Speaker 3: blood and guts, and it was Iran's proxy Hamas that 83 00:05:23,800 --> 00:05:29,520 Speaker 3: launched the monstrous October seventh attacks on Israel, slaughtering more 84 00:05:29,600 --> 00:05:33,560 Speaker 3: than one thousand innocent people, including forty six Americans, while 85 00:05:33,600 --> 00:05:39,200 Speaker 3: taking twelve of our citizens hostage. It was brutal, something 86 00:05:39,440 --> 00:05:43,440 Speaker 3: like the world has never seen before. Iran is the 87 00:05:43,520 --> 00:05:47,880 Speaker 3: world's number one state sponsor of terra and just recently 88 00:05:47,960 --> 00:05:51,159 Speaker 3: killed tens of thousands of its own citizens on the 89 00:05:51,200 --> 00:05:54,479 Speaker 3: street as they protested. It has always been the policy 90 00:05:54,520 --> 00:05:59,640 Speaker 3: of the United States, in particular my administration, that this 91 00:05:59,800 --> 00:06:04,000 Speaker 3: terror arrist regime can never have a nuclear weapon. I'll 92 00:06:04,000 --> 00:06:08,279 Speaker 3: say it again, they can never have a nuclear weapon. 93 00:06:09,440 --> 00:06:13,960 Speaker 3: That is why in Operation Midnight Hammer last June, we 94 00:06:14,040 --> 00:06:18,120 Speaker 3: obliterated the regime's nuclear program at Fordeaux. 95 00:06:18,400 --> 00:06:20,520 Speaker 2: Natanse and Isfahan. 96 00:06:21,480 --> 00:06:25,240 Speaker 3: After that attack, we warned them never to resume their 97 00:06:25,320 --> 00:06:30,880 Speaker 3: malicious pursuit of nuclear weapons, and we sought repeatedly to 98 00:06:30,960 --> 00:06:34,840 Speaker 3: make a deal. We tried. They wanted to do it, 99 00:06:34,960 --> 00:06:37,479 Speaker 3: They didn't want to do it again. They wanted to 100 00:06:37,520 --> 00:06:39,599 Speaker 3: do it, They didn't want to do it. They didn't 101 00:06:39,600 --> 00:06:43,640 Speaker 3: know what was happening. They just wanted to practice evil. 102 00:06:43,960 --> 00:06:48,520 Speaker 3: But Iran refused, just as it has for decades and decades. 103 00:06:49,480 --> 00:06:55,000 Speaker 3: They rejected every opportunity to renounce their nuclear ambitions, and 104 00:06:55,080 --> 00:06:59,680 Speaker 3: we can't take it anymore. Instead, they attempted to rebuild 105 00:06:59,720 --> 00:07:05,159 Speaker 3: their nuclear program and to continue developing long rage missiles 106 00:07:05,600 --> 00:07:09,680 Speaker 3: that can now threaten our very good friends and allies 107 00:07:09,720 --> 00:07:14,040 Speaker 3: in Europe. Are troops stationed overseas and could soon reach 108 00:07:14,160 --> 00:07:19,960 Speaker 3: the American homeland. Just imagine how emboldened this regime would 109 00:07:20,000 --> 00:07:23,480 Speaker 3: be if they ever had and actually were armed with 110 00:07:23,720 --> 00:07:28,680 Speaker 3: nuclear weapons as a means to deliver their message. For 111 00:07:28,760 --> 00:07:32,920 Speaker 3: these reasons, the United States military has undertaking a massive 112 00:07:32,960 --> 00:07:38,520 Speaker 3: and ongoing operation to prevent this very wicked radical dictatorship 113 00:07:38,960 --> 00:07:44,320 Speaker 3: from threatening America and our core national security interests. We 114 00:07:44,360 --> 00:07:48,080 Speaker 3: are going to destroy their missiles and raise their missile 115 00:07:48,160 --> 00:07:53,640 Speaker 3: industry to the ground. It will be totally again obliterated. 116 00:07:54,200 --> 00:07:57,280 Speaker 3: We're going to annihilate their navy. We are going to 117 00:07:57,560 --> 00:08:02,360 Speaker 3: ensure that the region's terrorist proxy can no longer destabilize 118 00:08:02,400 --> 00:08:05,480 Speaker 3: the region or the world and attack our forces, and 119 00:08:05,600 --> 00:08:10,680 Speaker 3: no longer use their IEDs or roadside bombs as they 120 00:08:10,720 --> 00:08:15,360 Speaker 3: are sometimes called to so gravely wound and kill thousands 121 00:08:15,400 --> 00:08:20,080 Speaker 3: and thousands of people, including many Americans, and we will 122 00:08:20,160 --> 00:08:24,960 Speaker 3: ensure that Randa is not obtained a nuclear weapon. It's 123 00:08:25,000 --> 00:08:30,080 Speaker 3: a very simple message. They will never have a nuclear weapon. 124 00:08:30,960 --> 00:08:34,480 Speaker 3: This regime will soon learn that no one should challenge 125 00:08:34,559 --> 00:08:37,960 Speaker 3: the strength and might of the United States Armed Forces. 126 00:08:38,920 --> 00:08:42,920 Speaker 3: I built and rebuilt our military in my first administration, 127 00:08:43,840 --> 00:08:46,760 Speaker 3: and there is no military on Earth even close to 128 00:08:46,800 --> 00:08:52,600 Speaker 3: its power, strength or sophistication. My administration has taken every 129 00:08:52,679 --> 00:08:56,840 Speaker 3: possible step to minimize the risks to US personnel in 130 00:08:56,880 --> 00:09:00,160 Speaker 3: the region. Even so, and I do not make make 131 00:09:00,280 --> 00:09:05,880 Speaker 3: this statement lightly, the Iranian regime seeks to kill. The 132 00:09:05,960 --> 00:09:09,240 Speaker 3: lives of courageous American heroes may be lost, and we 133 00:09:09,320 --> 00:09:14,240 Speaker 3: may have casualties that often happens in war. But we're 134 00:09:14,280 --> 00:09:17,760 Speaker 3: doing this not for now. We're doing this for the future, 135 00:09:18,040 --> 00:09:21,839 Speaker 3: and it is a noble mission. We pray for every 136 00:09:21,880 --> 00:09:25,640 Speaker 3: service member as they selflessly risk their lives to ensure 137 00:09:25,720 --> 00:09:29,520 Speaker 3: that Americans and our children will never be threatened by 138 00:09:29,559 --> 00:09:33,480 Speaker 3: a nuclear armed Iran. We ask God to protect all 139 00:09:33,520 --> 00:09:36,880 Speaker 3: of our heroes in harm's way, and we trust that 140 00:09:37,200 --> 00:09:40,320 Speaker 3: with his help, the men and women of the Armed 141 00:09:40,360 --> 00:09:42,240 Speaker 3: Forces will prevail. 142 00:09:42,880 --> 00:09:45,840 Speaker 2: We have the greatest in the world and they will prevail. 143 00:09:46,080 --> 00:09:50,959 Speaker 3: To the members of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard, the armed forces, 144 00:09:51,280 --> 00:09:54,600 Speaker 3: and all of the police, I say tonight that you 145 00:09:54,720 --> 00:09:59,080 Speaker 3: must lay down your weapons and have complete immunity, or 146 00:09:59,160 --> 00:10:04,120 Speaker 3: in the alternative, to face certain death. So lay down 147 00:10:04,160 --> 00:10:08,280 Speaker 3: your arms. You will be treated fairly with total immunity, 148 00:10:08,720 --> 00:10:13,559 Speaker 3: or you will face certain death. Finally, to the great 149 00:10:13,640 --> 00:10:17,120 Speaker 3: proud people of Iran, I say tonight that the hour 150 00:10:17,280 --> 00:10:21,080 Speaker 3: of your freedom is at hand. Stay sheltered, don't leave 151 00:10:21,120 --> 00:10:25,640 Speaker 3: your home. It's very dangerous outside. Bombs will be dropping everywhere. 152 00:10:26,120 --> 00:10:29,000 Speaker 3: When we are finished take over your government, it will 153 00:10:29,040 --> 00:10:30,560 Speaker 3: be yours to take. 154 00:10:32,600 --> 00:10:35,520 Speaker 1: We come back.

Parents. The 157 00:10:46,360 --> 00:10:49,760 Speaker 1: biggest question in education today is how artificial intelligence is 158 00:10:49,800 --> 00:10:53,360 Speaker 1: shaping the way your student learns.

That's the way it is likely be more, 227 00:15:36,760 --> 00:15:41,000 Speaker 3: but will do everything possible where that won't be the case. 228 00:15:41,560 --> 00:15:45,080 Speaker 3: But America will avenge their deaths and deliver the most 229 00:15:45,480 --> 00:15:48,520 Speaker 3: punishing blow to the terrorists who have waged. 230 00:15:48,160 --> 00:15:51,240 Speaker 2: War against basically civilization. 231 00:15:52,160 --> 00:15:57,800 Speaker 3: They have waged war against civilization itself.

An 240 00:16:32,080 --> 00:16:37,080 Speaker 3: Iranian regime armed with long range missiles and nuclear weapons 241 00:16:37,120 --> 00:16:40,600 Speaker 3: would be a dire threat to every American. We cannot 242 00:16:40,640 --> 00:16:45,960 Speaker 3: allow a nation that raises terrorist armies to possess such weapons, 243 00:16:46,120 --> 00:16:50,440 Speaker 3: would allow them to extort the world to their evil. 244 00:16:50,480 --> 00:16:52,040 Speaker 2: Will not going to let it happen. 245 00:16:52,480 --> 00:16:54,960 Speaker 3: We're not happening to us, and we're not going to 246 00:16:55,040 --> 00:16:58,600 Speaker 3: let it happen to others. The United States says, the 247 00:16:58,680 --> 00:17:03,080 Speaker 3: strongest military the world has ever seen I rebuilt our 248 00:17:03,120 --> 00:17:04,960 Speaker 3: military in my first term. 249 00:17:05,800 --> 00:17:06,600 Speaker 2: There's never been. 250 00:17:06,440 --> 00:17:12,800 Speaker 3: A military like we possess, and frankly, there's nobody even close. 251 00:17:12,920 --> 00:17:16,560 Speaker 3: But we are now using that military for good We 252 00:17:16,600 --> 00:17:20,600 Speaker 3: want to have it for good purpose. We're undertaking this 253 00:17:20,760 --> 00:17:25,840 Speaker 3: massive operation not merely to ensure security for our own 254 00:17:25,920 --> 00:17:29,200 Speaker 3: time and place, but for our children and their children, 255 00:17:29,400 --> 00:17:33,520 Speaker 3: just as our ancestors have done for us many many 256 00:17:33,600 --> 00:17:34,160 Speaker 3: years ago. 257 00:17:35,480 --> 00:17:38,639 Speaker 2: This is the duty and the burden of a free people. 258 00:17:39,840 --> 00:17:43,199 Speaker 3: These actions are right, and they are necessary to ensure 259 00:17:43,240 --> 00:17:48,320 Speaker 3: that Americans will never have to face a radical, bloodthirsty 260 00:17:48,600 --> 00:17:52,480 Speaker 3: terrorist regime armed with nuclear weapons. 261 00:17:52,040 --> 00:17:53,760 Speaker 2: And lots of threats. 262 00:17:54,480 --> 00:17:58,720 Speaker 3: For almost fifty years, these wicked extremists have been attacking 263 00:17:58,760 --> 00:18:03,760 Speaker 3: the United States well, chanting the slogan death to America 264 00:18:03,920 --> 00:18:07,560 Speaker 3: or death to Israel or both. They are the world's 265 00:18:07,680 --> 00:18:11,320 Speaker 3: number one state sponsor of terror. We are the world's 266 00:18:11,320 --> 00:18:14,520 Speaker 3: greatest and most powerful nations, so we can do something 267 00:18:14,600 --> 00:18:19,440 Speaker 3: about what they do. These intolerable threats will not continue 268 00:18:19,480 --> 00:18:24,639 Speaker 3: any longer. I once again urge the Revolutionary Guard the 269 00:18:25,040 --> 00:18:29,800 Speaker 3: Iranian military police to lay down your arms and receive 270 00:18:29,840 --> 00:18:33,240 Speaker 3: full immunity or face certain death. It will be certain 271 00:18:33,320 --> 00:18:38,439 Speaker 3: death won't be pretty. I call upon all Iranian patriots 272 00:18:38,440 --> 00:18:43,280 Speaker 3: who yearn for freedom to seize this moment to be brave, 273 00:18:43,480 --> 00:18:47,160 Speaker 3: be bold, be heroic, and take back your country. 274 00:18:47,560 --> 00:18:48,720 Speaker 2: America is with you. 275 00:18:49,280 --> 00:18:52,560 Speaker 3: I made a promise to you, and I fulfilled that promise. 276 00:18:53,440 --> 00:18:56,040 Speaker 2: The rest will be up to you, but will be 277 00:18:56,119 --> 00:18:57,600 Speaker 2: there to help.

When 367 00:23:35,520 --> 00:23:39,400 Speaker 8: you go into people's countries. You do not get civilians involved, 368 00:23:39,840 --> 00:23:43,200 Speaker 8: and you don't put stuff on the internet with civilians 369 00:23:43,240 --> 00:23:46,600 Speaker 8: being killed and then making fun of that. I've seen 370 00:23:46,640 --> 00:23:50,640 Speaker 8: you put something on the internet, Larry about uh, some 371 00:23:50,680 --> 00:23:54,440 Speaker 8: type of meme that you did with the head guy 372 00:23:54,600 --> 00:23:57,639 Speaker 8: and a bunch of women around him, and that was 373 00:23:57,680 --> 00:24:04,560 Speaker 8: not funny. There are civilians. You have to protect the civilians. 374 00:24:04,080 --> 00:24:07,080 Speaker 1: A super super rashide, super rashide. Are you saying that 375 00:24:07,200 --> 00:24:09,200 Speaker 1: President Trump is bombing civilians. 376 00:24:10,840 --> 00:24:14,320 Speaker 8: I'm not saying that's his goal. He's not being careful 377 00:24:14,560 --> 00:24:17,840 Speaker 8: enough not to. If you're gonna send your people over there, 378 00:24:18,000 --> 00:24:21,119 Speaker 8: say look, we're gonna hit strategic sights. 379 00:24:20,960 --> 00:24:23,960 Speaker 1: That's exactly what he's That's exactly what he said. That's 380 00:24:24,000 --> 00:24:26,240 Speaker 1: exactly what he said. That's exactly what the Secretary of 381 00:24:26,240 --> 00:24:29,359 Speaker 1: Wards said at the press conference. Uh, and the General Kine, 382 00:24:29,359 --> 00:24:31,640 Speaker 1: who's leading all of this, That's exactly what they said. 383 00:24:31,640 --> 00:24:36,480 Speaker 1: These are military targets, not civilian targets, not hospitals, not mosques, 384 00:24:36,760 --> 00:24:40,399 Speaker 1: not schools. The way the enemy does how is. 385 00:24:40,440 --> 00:24:45,560 Speaker 8: Civilians involved right now? How are civilians being eliminated right now? 386 00:24:46,280 --> 00:24:49,920 Speaker 8: Help me understand that, bro, Because somebody is careless and. 387 00:24:50,119 --> 00:24:53,840 Speaker 1: What they're doing over there will will there will there 388 00:24:53,960 --> 00:24:56,280 Speaker 1: inevitably be some civilians who are going to be killed 389 00:24:56,280 --> 00:24:59,520 Speaker 1: no matter how careful we are. Absolutely, but the objective 390 00:24:59,600 --> 00:25:05,919 Speaker 1: is russy day. The objective is military targets. If you expect, 391 00:25:05,920 --> 00:25:09,399 Speaker 1: if you expect a war to only involve fighters and 392 00:25:09,480 --> 00:25:13,840 Speaker 1: never involve civilians, you're not being very realistic. Larry. 393 00:25:14,280 --> 00:25:16,359 Speaker 8: It came out of his own mouth. He said, just 394 00:25:16,480 --> 00:25:19,119 Speaker 8: go into your homes. You'll be safe, because if you 395 00:25:19,119 --> 00:25:21,480 Speaker 8: come out of your homes, there's gonna be bombs everywhere. 396 00:25:21,560 --> 00:25:24,320 Speaker 8: What in the world this man is sick. What you 397 00:25:24,359 --> 00:25:27,520 Speaker 8: mean just going to your homes. Don't come out because it's. 398 00:25:27,359 --> 00:25:30,840 Speaker 1: Not safe, meaning meaning going to your homes. We don't 399 00:25:30,840 --> 00:25:31,560 Speaker 1: bomb homes. 400 00:25:33,440 --> 00:25:36,000 Speaker 8: Meaning that he should have said, give the people a 401 00:25:36,119 --> 00:25:39,080 Speaker 8: chance to evacuate out of the country. Give them a 402 00:25:39,119 --> 00:25:41,439 Speaker 8: few weeks, say look, or a month get out of 403 00:25:41,440 --> 00:25:44,080 Speaker 8: the country. Oh, just going to your homes and get 404 00:25:44,119 --> 00:25:45,960 Speaker 8: them to your bids, you'll be okay. Are you out 405 00:25:45,960 --> 00:25:48,920 Speaker 8: of your freaking mind? He's out of his mind, bro, 406 00:25:49,119 --> 00:25:51,440 Speaker 8: so you guys need to you Republicans need to keep 407 00:25:51,440 --> 00:25:52,080 Speaker 8: this man in check. 408 00:25:52,200 --> 00:25:54,600 Speaker 1: Okay, okay, Super Rushy Day, thank you very much for 409 00:25:54,680 --> 00:26:00,119 Speaker 1: your insightful analysis of exactly how wars are conducted. I 410 00:26:00,119 --> 00:26:13,720 Speaker 1: appreciate it. Hamas these terrorists they hire their facilities in schools, hospitals, mosques. 411 00:26:14,800 --> 00:26:17,720 Speaker 1: And one of the reasons all these other Gulf states 412 00:26:17,760 --> 00:26:21,960 Speaker 1: are now getting involved in attacking Iran is because Iran 413 00:26:22,160 --> 00:26:25,879 Speaker 1: did exactly what Super Rashide said we were doing. They 414 00:26:25,880 --> 00:26:30,000 Speaker 1: attacked a hotel in Dubai. Are you kidding me? What 415 00:26:30,000 --> 00:26:33,480 Speaker 1: did Dubai have to do with this? They were supposedly neutral. 416 00:26:33,920 --> 00:26:39,080 Speaker 1: They've attacked all sorts of friendly or neutral states in 417 00:26:39,080 --> 00:26:43,360 Speaker 1: the Middle East, which is why Iran has very few friends. 418 00:26:43,640 --> 00:26:47,840 Speaker 1: What is the Russian said? What if the Chinese said? 419 00:26:48,800 --> 00:26:51,639 Speaker 1: Russia has a bit on its plate right now? So 420 00:26:51,720 --> 00:26:57,640 Speaker 1: this is really game changer, a sea change. More from 421 00:26:57,840 --> 00:27:03,720 Speaker 1: the Secretary of War We come back. I'm Larry to 422 00:27:03,920 --> 00:27:12,840 Speaker 1: be kind.

There's a 428 00:27:32,440 --> 00:27:38,240 Speaker 1: obituary on the Iatola Harmione in the Washington Post. I've 429 00:27:38,240 --> 00:27:40,080 Speaker 1: read it three times to make sure I didn't miss it. 430 00:27:44,040 --> 00:27:47,879 Speaker 1: Not one time is the word terror or terrorist used. 431 00:27:48,520 --> 00:27:57,080 Speaker 1: Not one time. Quote an early follower of Ayatola Ruali Hamiene, 432 00:27:57,440 --> 00:28:01,800 Speaker 1: the Austere cleric who inspired the revolution against Iran's US 433 00:28:01,920 --> 00:28:05,880 Speaker 1: back monarchy, staunchly opposed the United States and Israel, rejected 434 00:28:05,920 --> 00:28:12,320 Speaker 1: Western liberalism and adhered strictly to fundamental social policies. With 435 00:28:12,440 --> 00:28:15,200 Speaker 1: his bushy white beard and easy smile. I'm not making 436 00:28:15,280 --> 00:28:18,400 Speaker 1: this up. I had told a Harmoni cut a more 437 00:28:18,400 --> 00:28:24,040 Speaker 1: evuncular figure in public than his perpetually scowling, much more 438 00:28:24,080 --> 00:28:27,760 Speaker 1: revered mentor. He was known to be fond of Persian 439 00:28:27,880 --> 00:28:34,119 Speaker 1: poetry and classic Western novels, especially Victor Hugo's Les Miserrob 440 00:28:37,040 --> 00:28:44,520 Speaker 1: Not one word calling him a terrorist, And it mentioned 441 00:28:44,520 --> 00:28:48,080 Speaker 1: the recent crackdown killing more than sixty eight hundred protests. 442 00:28:48,080 --> 00:28:49,800 Speaker 1: I heard the number of more like twenty or thirty. 443 00:28:50,400 --> 00:28:52,680 Speaker 1: These would be the civilians that are friend from Detroit 444 00:28:52,720 --> 00:29:00,520 Speaker 1: that's so concerned about Jim is in Portland, Oregon. Jim, 445 00:29:00,560 --> 00:29:02,120 Speaker 1: you're the Larry Old the show. Thank you for calling. 446 00:29:03,280 --> 00:29:05,760 Speaker 9: Oh, thank you, Larry. I was wondering if you could 447 00:29:05,800 --> 00:29:10,320 Speaker 9: comment on my comment, which is I wish in the 448 00:29:10,480 --> 00:29:16,320 Speaker 9: USA Iranian negotiations that the subject of bringing mass murderers 449 00:29:16,400 --> 00:29:18,800 Speaker 9: to justice, to bring them to trial would have been 450 00:29:18,800 --> 00:29:21,360 Speaker 9: brought up. I don't think the Iranians would. 451 00:29:21,160 --> 00:29:21,480 Speaker 5: Have done it. 452 00:29:21,520 --> 00:29:24,120 Speaker 9: They're afraid of their own mass murderers, I suppose, but 453 00:29:24,160 --> 00:29:27,680 Speaker 9: it would have united the American public. What American could 454 00:29:27,680 --> 00:29:30,720 Speaker 9: be against bringing mass murderers to justice? 455 00:29:31,560 --> 00:29:34,080 Speaker 1: I like it. I'm not sure how many of them 456 00:29:34,160 --> 00:29:38,160 Speaker 1: are still going to be left. The lead mass murderer 457 00:29:38,240 --> 00:29:40,680 Speaker 1: is dead, as are at least forty forty eight of 458 00:29:40,760 --> 00:29:45,640 Speaker 1: his subordinates, so we'll find out. This is the Secretary 459 00:29:45,680 --> 00:29:49,440 Speaker 1: of War and General Caine giving a briefing number thirty eight. 460 00:29:49,840 --> 00:29:52,160 Speaker 10: Well, good morning, now, we just finished an update with 461 00:29:52,160 --> 00:29:56,040 Speaker 10: Admiral Brad Cooper, the sent Com commander across the centcom aar. 462 00:29:55,760 --> 00:30:00,200 Speaker 7: Our leadership and troops as you would expect, doing a fantastic. 463 00:30:01,560 --> 00:30:04,360 Speaker 10: Two days ago under the direction and direct orders of 464 00:30:04,400 --> 00:30:07,280 Speaker 10: President Donald J. Trump, the Department of War launched Operation 465 00:30:07,480 --> 00:30:12,600 Speaker 10: Epic Fury, the most lethal, most complex, and most precise 466 00:30:12,760 --> 00:30:17,640 Speaker 10: aerial operation in history. For forty seven long years, the 467 00:30:17,680 --> 00:30:21,800 Speaker 10: expansionist and Islamist regime in Tehran has waged a savage, 468 00:30:21,880 --> 00:30:25,880 Speaker 10: one sided war against America. They didn't always declare it openly, 469 00:30:26,600 --> 00:30:29,120 Speaker 10: except for their constant chance of death to America. 470 00:30:29,920 --> 00:30:32,040 Speaker 7: They did it through the blood of our people. 471 00:30:32,640 --> 00:30:37,200 Speaker 10: Car bombs in Beirut, rocket attacks on our ships, murders 472 00:30:37,240 --> 00:30:42,520 Speaker 10: at our embassy's, roadside bombs in Iraq and Afghanistan, funded 473 00:30:42,560 --> 00:30:47,960 Speaker 10: and armed by Iranian Koud's Force and IRGC killers. My 474 00:30:48,120 --> 00:30:52,080 Speaker 10: generation of veterans carried the names of brothers who never 475 00:30:52,160 --> 00:30:56,880 Speaker 10: came home, brothers butchered by Iranian backed roadside bombs and 476 00:30:56,960 --> 00:31:02,360 Speaker 10: well armed militias, thousands of our own. We didn't start 477 00:31:02,360 --> 00:31:06,320 Speaker 10: this war, but under President Trump, we are finishing it. 478 00:31:07,400 --> 00:31:11,560 Speaker 10: Their war on Americans has become our retribution against their 479 00:31:11,800 --> 00:31:17,120 Speaker 10: Ayatola and his death cult. It took the forty seventh President, 480 00:31:17,160 --> 00:31:20,960 Speaker 10: a fighter who always puts America first, to finally draw 481 00:31:21,000 --> 00:31:25,640 Speaker 10: the line after forty seven years of Iranian belligerents. He 482 00:31:25,720 --> 00:31:28,160 Speaker 10: reminded the world, as he has time and time again. 483 00:31:28,600 --> 00:31:33,200 Speaker 10: Being an American means something unbreakable. If you kill Americans, 484 00:31:33,760 --> 00:31:36,880 Speaker 10: if you threaten Americans anywhere on Earth, we will hunt 485 00:31:36,920 --> 00:31:41,920 Speaker 10: you down without apology and without hesitation, and we will 486 00:31:42,200 --> 00:31:47,760 Speaker 10: kill you. President Trump has also been very consistent. Crazy 487 00:31:47,800 --> 00:31:53,240 Speaker 10: regimes like Iran, hell bent on prophetic Islamist delusions, cannot 488 00:31:53,280 --> 00:31:58,240 Speaker 10: have nuclear weapons. It's common sense. Many have said it, 489 00:31:59,240 --> 00:32:01,560 Speaker 10: but it takes guts to actually enforce it, and our 490 00:32:01,640 --> 00:32:07,760 Speaker 10: president has guts. Iran's stubborn and self evident nuclear pursuits, 491 00:32:07,800 --> 00:32:11,360 Speaker 10: their targeting of global shipping lanes, and their swelling arsenal 492 00:32:11,400 --> 00:32:15,160 Speaker 10: of ballistic missiles and killer drones were no longer are 493 00:32:15,200 --> 00:32:20,600 Speaker 10: no longer tolerable risks. Iran was building powerful missiles and 494 00:32:20,680 --> 00:32:26,240 Speaker 10: drones to create a conventional shield for their nuclear blackmail ambitions. 495 00:32:26,320 --> 00:32:30,040 Speaker 10: Let me say that again, a conventional shield for their 496 00:32:30,120 --> 00:32:35,920 Speaker 10: nuclear blackmail ambitions. Our bases, our people, our allies all 497 00:32:36,000 --> 00:32:39,800 Speaker 10: in their crosshairs. Iran had a conventional gun to our 498 00:32:39,880 --> 00:32:42,840 Speaker 10: head as they tried to lie their way to. 499 00:32:42,800 --> 00:32:43,640 Speaker 7: A nuclear bomb. 500 00:32:44,440 --> 00:32:49,040 Speaker 10: It almost worked under Obama and his terrible deal, but 501 00:32:49,160 --> 00:32:53,280 Speaker 10: not under this president. Turns out, the regime who chanted 502 00:32:53,760 --> 00:32:58,920 Speaker 10: death to America and death to Israel was gifted death 503 00:32:59,120 --> 00:33:04,080 Speaker 10: from America and death from Israel. This is not a 504 00:33:04,280 --> 00:33:09,280 Speaker 10: so called regime change war, but the regime sure did. 505 00:33:09,160 --> 00:33:14,240 Speaker 7: Change, and the world is better off for it. Today. 506 00:33:14,320 --> 00:33:19,080 Speaker 10: In their desperation, the enemy is unmasked as Iranian missiles 507 00:33:19,080 --> 00:33:25,280 Speaker 10: and drones rained down indiscriminately on the hotels, airports, apartments, 508 00:33:25,440 --> 00:33:31,160 Speaker 10: and other civilian targets of their neighbors. Cowardly terrorist tactics 509 00:33:31,400 --> 00:33:35,160 Speaker 10: from a regime that for decades has trafficked in cowardly 510 00:33:35,600 --> 00:33:41,600 Speaker 10: terrorist tactics lies death and destruction. To this day, the 511 00:33:41,640 --> 00:33:47,080 Speaker 10: Iranian leadership has built nothing except proxies and missiles and drones. 512 00:33:46,720 --> 00:33:49,920 Speaker 7: And deeply buried nuclear factories and facilities. 513 00:33:50,760 --> 00:33:55,840 Speaker 10: Peaceful nuclear ambitions do not need to be buried underneath mountains. 514 00:33:57,600 --> 00:34:04,520 Speaker 10: Last June, Operation Midnight Hammer obliterated their nuclear program to rubble. Afterward, 515 00:34:04,560 --> 00:34:06,680 Speaker 10: we told them plainly that's it. Now make a deal. 516 00:34:07,560 --> 00:34:08,760 Speaker 10: They arrogantly refused. 517 00:34:09,239 --> 00:34:10,719 Speaker 7: We said, rebuild it. 518 00:34:10,800 --> 00:34:14,239 Speaker 10: And we'll stop you again, this time far worse. Well, 519 00:34:14,239 --> 00:34:18,959 Speaker 10: President Trump, Secretary Rubio, Steve Whitcoff, Jared Kushner. They bent 520 00:34:19,120 --> 00:34:23,400 Speaker 10: over backwards for real diplomacy. Offering pathway after pathway to peace. 521 00:34:23,719 --> 00:34:24,440 Speaker 7: I watched it. 522 00:34:24,480 --> 00:34:25,040 Speaker 2: I was there. 523 00:34:25,800 --> 00:34:30,000 Speaker 10: They tried over and over and over again, earnest attempts 524 00:34:30,040 --> 00:34:34,319 Speaker 10: at peace. The former regime had every chance to make 525 00:34:34,440 --> 00:34:39,319 Speaker 10: a peaceful and sensible deal, but Taran was not negotiating. 526 00:34:42,200 --> 00:34:44,000 Speaker 1: More on this later. We're also going to talk about 527 00:34:44,000 --> 00:34:48,080 Speaker 1: the decade long campaign of terror against Americans.

But first 556 00:36:31,719 --> 00:36:33,160 Speaker 1: back to Secretary of War. 557 00:36:33,920 --> 00:36:37,040 Speaker 10: Real diplomacy offering pathway after pathway to peace. 558 00:36:37,360 --> 00:36:38,080 Speaker 7: I watched it. 559 00:36:38,120 --> 00:36:38,720 Speaker 2: I was there. 560 00:36:39,440 --> 00:36:43,640 Speaker 10: They tried over and over and over again, earnest attempts 561 00:36:43,680 --> 00:36:47,959 Speaker 10: at peace. The former regime had every chance to make 562 00:36:48,080 --> 00:36:52,960 Speaker 10: a peaceful and sensible deal, but Tehran was not negotiating. 563 00:36:53,719 --> 00:36:57,799 Speaker 10: They were stalling, buying time to reload their missile stockpiles 564 00:36:57,840 --> 00:37:02,560 Speaker 10: and restart their nuclear ambition, their goal hold US hostage, 565 00:37:02,920 --> 00:37:03,759 Speaker 10: threatening to. 566 00:37:03,719 --> 00:37:05,240 Speaker 7: Strike our forces. 567 00:37:05,719 --> 00:37:10,800 Speaker 10: Well, President Trump doesn't play those games, And, as Secretary 568 00:37:10,880 --> 00:37:13,960 Speaker 10: Rubio said after the Maduro raid, if you don't know, 569 00:37:14,800 --> 00:37:20,120 Speaker 10: now you know. President Trump puts America and Americans first. 570 00:37:20,640 --> 00:37:24,200 Speaker 10: He doesn't hesitate, and neither do our troops. The mission 571 00:37:24,239 --> 00:37:29,760 Speaker 10: of Operation Epic Fury is laser focused. Destroy Iranian offensive missiles, 572 00:37:29,800 --> 00:37:34,600 Speaker 10: destroy Iranian missile production, destroy their navy and other security infrastructure, 573 00:37:34,760 --> 00:37:40,080 Speaker 10: and they will never have nuclear weapons. We're hitting them surgically, 574 00:37:40,640 --> 00:37:47,440 Speaker 10: overwhelmingly and unapologetically. With every passing day, our capabilities get 575 00:37:47,480 --> 00:37:52,239 Speaker 10: stronger and Iran's get weaker. We set the terms of 576 00:37:52,280 --> 00:37:57,440 Speaker 10: this war from start to finish. Our ambitions are not utopian. 577 00:37:58,400 --> 00:38:02,720 Speaker 10: They are realistic, scoped to our interests and the defense. 578 00:38:02,400 --> 00:38:04,520 Speaker 7: Of our people and our allies. 579 00:38:05,880 --> 00:38:10,120 Speaker 10: Speaking of people, we hope the Iranian people take advantage 580 00:38:10,120 --> 00:38:14,480 Speaker 10: of this incredible opportunity. President Trump has been clear, now 581 00:38:14,640 --> 00:38:19,800 Speaker 10: is your time to Iranian security forces. 582 00:38:20,920 --> 00:38:22,160 Speaker 7: Choose wisely. 583 00:38:23,239 --> 00:38:27,640 Speaker 10: President Trump has also been clear about your fate in 584 00:38:27,680 --> 00:38:33,240 Speaker 10: either direction.

Let's start with the 603 00:39:42,360 --> 00:39:47,400 Speaker 1: seizure of the US embassy in nineteen seventy nine. Fifty 604 00:39:47,400 --> 00:39:50,120 Speaker 1: two Americans held hostage for four hundred and forty four days. 605 00:39:52,840 --> 00:39:59,640 Speaker 1: It brings us to the eighties. Hesbela funded trained directed 606 00:39:59,680 --> 00:40:03,279 Speaker 1: by a wave of terror, including but not limited to, 607 00:40:04,000 --> 00:40:07,560 Speaker 1: the April nineteen eighty three suicide bombing at the US 608 00:40:07,600 --> 00:40:14,399 Speaker 1: Embassy in Beyroot killed sixty three people.

That was at the time 611 00:40:24,920 --> 00:40:29,959 Speaker 1: the deadliest attack against the US Marines since the World 612 00:40:30,000 --> 00:40:36,120 Speaker 1: War II Battle over Iwujima in nineteen forty five. Then 613 00:40:36,120 --> 00:40:43,000 Speaker 1: we had kidnappings, hijackings, executions, the murder of Cia Beayroot 614 00:40:43,040 --> 00:40:52,480 Speaker 1: station chief William Buckley in nineteen eighty four.

Now, according to the nine to eleven Commission, 622 00:41:50,680 --> 00:41:53,839 Speaker 1: there's no evidence that Iran was aware of the nine 623 00:41:53,880 --> 00:42:01,200 Speaker 1: eleven attacks in advance, but they did facilitate and transit 624 00:42:01,280 --> 00:42:08,960 Speaker 1: of al Qaeda members in out of Afghanistan before the attacks.

This is the generational 671 00:46:09,280 --> 00:46:12,120 Speaker 10: turning point America has waited for since nineteen seventy nine 672 00:46:12,120 --> 00:46:15,759 Speaker 10: and since the rudderless Wars of Hubris. My generation, our 673 00:46:15,800 --> 00:46:20,560 Speaker 10: generation endured. Don't listen to the noise. Just stay focused. 674 00:46:21,280 --> 00:46:23,200 Speaker 10: Our commander in chief is steady. 675 00:46:22,960 --> 00:46:26,640 Speaker 7: At the wheel. We face a determined enemy. But you 676 00:46:26,880 --> 00:46:30,560 Speaker 7: are better. But we must prove it every single day. 677 00:46:30,640 --> 00:46:33,880 Speaker 10: History doesn't care if we're tired, if we're scared, or 678 00:46:33,880 --> 00:46:38,600 Speaker 10: if the fight feels big. It demands warriors who rise anyway. 679 00:46:39,280 --> 00:46:44,360 Speaker 10: Peace through strength, the warrior ethos, lethality, unity of purpose. 680 00:46:44,480 --> 00:46:46,160 Speaker 7: Those are not slogans. 681 00:46:47,040 --> 00:46:50,080 Speaker 10: They're the beating heart of what it means to wear 682 00:46:50,160 --> 00:46:54,600 Speaker 10: the uniform. That uniform you think clearly under fire, you 683 00:46:54,640 --> 00:46:59,200 Speaker 10: act decisively in chaos. You uphold the Constitution, and you 684 00:46:59,280 --> 00:47:00,200 Speaker 10: uphold our cunt tree. 685 00:47:00,239 --> 00:47:01,000 Speaker 7: Without hesitation. 686 00:47:02,360 --> 00:47:07,560 Speaker 10: We are not defenders anymore. We are warriors, train to 687 00:47:07,640 --> 00:47:09,000 Speaker 10: kill the enemy and break their will. 688 00:47:09,320 --> 00:47:10,480 Speaker 7: History is watching. 689 00:47:10,840 --> 00:47:15,920 Speaker 10: Be the force you swore an oath to be focused, disciplined, lethal, 690 00:47:16,280 --> 00:47:23,400 Speaker 10: and unbreakable. We will finish this on America first conditions 691 00:47:23,960 --> 00:47:28,920 Speaker 10: of President Trump's choosing, nobody else's as it should be. 692 00:47:29,760 --> 00:47:32,839 Speaker 10: And know this above all, President Trump and I have 693 00:47:33,160 --> 00:47:40,280 Speaker 10: your back always, through fire, through criticism, through fake news, 694 00:47:40,800 --> 00:47:41,520 Speaker 10: through everything. 695 00:47:42,080 --> 00:47:44,760 Speaker 7: We unleash you because you are the best. 696 00:47:44,800 --> 00:47:49,359 Speaker 10: Most powerful, most lethal fighting force the world has ever seen. 697 00:47:51,600 --> 00:47:56,600 Speaker 10: May Almighty God watch over you, and his providential arms 698 00:47:56,640 --> 00:47:59,600 Speaker 10: of protection extend over you. 699 00:48:00,840 --> 00:48:03,080 Speaker 7: God speed, warriors, and keep going. 700 00:48:09,320 --> 00:48:15,319 Speaker 1: By the way, I've noticed that the channel CNN does 701 00:48:15,360 --> 00:48:19,840 Speaker 1: not refer to the Department of Defense as the Department 702 00:48:19,840 --> 00:48:25,160 Speaker 1: of War. They don't refer to Hexeth as Secretary of War. 703 00:48:25,200 --> 00:48:28,279 Speaker 1: They call him Secretary of Defense, even though Trump calls 704 00:48:28,320 --> 00:48:30,880 Speaker 1: him secretary of War. Has renamed the Department of Defense 705 00:48:30,880 --> 00:48:34,160 Speaker 1: Department of War. CNN has not seen fit to do that. 706 00:48:37,040 --> 00:48:45,520 Speaker 1: Do we have Dan Kine? Kay, We'll come back with that. 707 00:48:49,360 --> 00:48:56,560 Speaker 1: Time Magazine wrote a piece about why now and about 708 00:48:56,600 --> 00:49:02,680 Speaker 1: the negotiation that' supportedly were making progress. Says Trump was 709 00:49:02,840 --> 00:49:07,280 Speaker 1: frustrated because Iran flat out refused to discuss two things, 710 00:49:08,840 --> 00:49:14,920 Speaker 1: its construction of ballistic missiles and its support for the 711 00:49:15,000 --> 00:49:18,080 Speaker 1: terror proxies in the Middle East. Those were two topics 712 00:49:18,760 --> 00:49:26,960 Speaker 1: the Iranians, according to Time magazine, put off limit, and 713 00:49:27,000 --> 00:49:31,200 Speaker 1: the President also feared that Iran was simply buying time, 714 00:49:31,800 --> 00:49:37,239 Speaker 1: and as we assembled the forces around that country, they 715 00:49:37,360 --> 00:49:42,480 Speaker 1: might make a preemptive strike, causing mash casualties to American 716 00:49:42,520 --> 00:49:50,560 Speaker 1: service personnel, something that Trump was not going to even 717 00:49:51,080 --> 00:49:54,319 Speaker 1: possibly allow. All of this and more. Triple eight nine 718 00:49:54,360 --> 00:50:00,399 Speaker 1: seventy one S eight g E Larry Elder, You want 719 00:50:00,600 --> 00:50:03,360 Speaker 1: sage Triple eight ninety seven one seven two four to 720 00:50:03,440 --> 00:50:07,520 Speaker 1: three Larry Elder, Stalem News Channel. President Trump made the 721 00:50:07,560 --> 00:50:11,640 Speaker 1: most consequential decision by far of his administration, one of 722 00:50:11,680 --> 00:50:14,560 Speaker 1: the most consequential decisions ever made by an American president. 723 00:50:16,880 --> 00:50:20,279 Speaker 1: And when people ask me why now, my response is 724 00:50:20,360 --> 00:50:25,920 Speaker 1: what took so long? They had been killing Americans for decades, 725 00:50:26,880 --> 00:50:30,240 Speaker 1: threatening to try to annihilate America by acquiring a nuclear 726 00:50:30,280 --> 00:50:36,800 Speaker 1: bomb in using it. During the negotiations, Iranian officials handed 727 00:50:38,320 --> 00:50:45,640 Speaker 1: Kushner and Witkoff the envoy a seven page plan that 728 00:50:45,680 --> 00:50:48,239 Speaker 1: the Uranian said, we don't want it to leave the room. 729 00:50:50,320 --> 00:50:54,520 Speaker 1: The proposal would have allowed uranium to be enriched five 730 00:50:54,600 --> 00:50:58,000 Speaker 1: times higher than allowed under the nuclear deal that Iran 731 00:50:58,080 --> 00:51:01,880 Speaker 1: struck during the Obama administration that Trump ridiculed as insufficient 732 00:51:01,920 --> 00:51:06,160 Speaker 1: and ended in his first term. They were not serious. 733 00:51:06,960 --> 00:51:12,240 Speaker 1: As for what happens next, The son of the former 734 00:51:12,320 --> 00:51:19,839 Speaker 1: Shaw raise Upa Levi, was on sixty Minutes number twenty six, what. 735 00:51:20,080 --> 00:51:21,920 Speaker 11: Is your message to President Trump? 736 00:51:23,040 --> 00:51:25,840 Speaker 12: My message to President Trump is that I'm here to 737 00:51:25,960 --> 00:51:29,759 Speaker 12: echo and join millions of my compatriots inside and ass 738 00:51:29,800 --> 00:51:32,960 Speaker 12: out of Iran to thank him for having done and 739 00:51:33,040 --> 00:51:37,400 Speaker 12: having the courage to do what is not easy but intervene, 740 00:51:37,440 --> 00:51:39,960 Speaker 12: and he will go down in the annals of Iranan 741 00:51:40,040 --> 00:51:43,320 Speaker 12: history as the most celebrated foreign leader that changed the 742 00:51:43,400 --> 00:51:45,680 Speaker 12: Bowl game and changed the world as a result. 743 00:51:46,480 --> 00:51:52,200 Speaker 11: In January, President Trump said this about you quote. He 744 00:51:52,280 --> 00:51:55,920 Speaker 11: seems very nice, but I don't know how he'd play 745 00:51:56,160 --> 00:51:59,160 Speaker 11: within his own country. I don't know whether or not 746 00:51:59,239 --> 00:52:03,320 Speaker 11: his country would accept his leadership, And certainly if they would, 747 00:52:03,400 --> 00:52:07,520 Speaker 11: that would be fine with me. You don't seem to 748 00:52:07,600 --> 00:52:10,400 Speaker 11: have President Trump's wholehearted support. 749 00:52:11,120 --> 00:52:13,160 Speaker 12: Well, first of all, I don't think that somebody in 750 00:52:13,160 --> 00:52:17,239 Speaker 12: my position will ever expect to have an official endorsement 751 00:52:17,239 --> 00:52:19,840 Speaker 12: of a foreign government or a foreign leader. What I 752 00:52:19,920 --> 00:52:23,200 Speaker 12: do know now is that millions of Iranians inside Iran 753 00:52:23,239 --> 00:52:26,200 Speaker 12: and outside of Iran I calling my name, that recognize 754 00:52:26,320 --> 00:52:29,839 Speaker 12: in me the person uniquely taste to play a role 755 00:52:29,880 --> 00:52:33,799 Speaker 12: of transitional leadership, not running for office, because that's not 756 00:52:33,840 --> 00:52:36,960 Speaker 12: what I'm doing, but to be abridged to that destiny. 757 00:52:37,680 --> 00:52:39,680 Speaker 1: And that's what he says he wants to lead around 758 00:52:40,080 --> 00:52:42,000 Speaker 1: in a transition to democracy. 759 00:52:42,120 --> 00:52:47,080 Speaker 11: Number twenty seven, Prince Raiser Polby told us he wants 760 00:52:47,120 --> 00:52:51,439 Speaker 11: to lead Iran in a transition to democracy. You don't 761 00:52:51,440 --> 00:52:52,040 Speaker 11: want to be king. 762 00:52:52,440 --> 00:52:55,600 Speaker 12: I'm not running for office. 763 00:52:55,840 --> 00:52:56,160 Speaker 9: I'm not. 764 00:52:57,280 --> 00:53:01,200 Speaker 11: Are you saying in this interview that you wouldn't lead Iran. 765 00:53:01,840 --> 00:53:02,719 Speaker 1: That's a different thing. 766 00:53:02,920 --> 00:53:06,160 Speaker 12: They trust me as the transitional leader, not as the 767 00:53:06,200 --> 00:53:10,640 Speaker 12: future king or future president or future whatever. I'm totally 768 00:53:10,680 --> 00:53:13,120 Speaker 12: focused on my mission in life, which is let me 769 00:53:13,200 --> 00:53:15,040 Speaker 12: bring the country to a point that they can make 770 00:53:15,040 --> 00:53:15,800 Speaker 12: that free choice. 771 00:53:15,920 --> 00:53:16,960 Speaker 2: That would be enough for me. 772 00:53:17,080 --> 00:53:19,240 Speaker 12: Having submission accomplished. 773 00:53:18,880 --> 00:53:20,480 Speaker 11: You imagine peace with Israel. 774 00:53:21,280 --> 00:53:26,520 Speaker 12: Of course, in modern history, Iran actually gave refuge to 775 00:53:26,680 --> 00:53:29,719 Speaker 12: Jews that were escaping the Nazis during the Second World War, 776 00:53:30,120 --> 00:53:34,719 Speaker 12: giving them refuge and sanctuary in Iran. The strategic importance 777 00:53:34,760 --> 00:53:37,000 Speaker 12: of having a partnership with Israeli is critical. 778 00:53:37,600 --> 00:53:41,520 Speaker 11: What are the principles on which you would build a 779 00:53:41,600 --> 00:53:42,200 Speaker 11: new Iran? 780 00:53:42,840 --> 00:53:47,400 Speaker 12: I think what today unites us are four core principles 781 00:53:47,440 --> 00:53:50,440 Speaker 12: that I think is the subject of how we can 782 00:53:50,520 --> 00:53:54,640 Speaker 12: work together towards that end. Number one is Iran's territorial integrity. 783 00:53:55,320 --> 00:53:58,000 Speaker 12: Number two is the clear separation of religion from state, 784 00:53:58,040 --> 00:54:00,520 Speaker 12: which is a prerequisite to democracy, and we paid the 785 00:54:00,600 --> 00:54:04,279 Speaker 12: price understanding what it means to live under a religious dictatorship. 786 00:54:04,840 --> 00:54:07,680 Speaker 12: Number three is, of course equality of all citizens under 787 00:54:07,719 --> 00:54:11,760 Speaker 12: the law and individual liberties, and most importantly, the process 788 00:54:11,760 --> 00:54:15,160 Speaker 12: of democratic process to allow the people to elect and 789 00:54:15,200 --> 00:54:17,600 Speaker 12: decide what the future system of governance should be. 790 00:54:18,080 --> 00:54:21,719 Speaker 11: What would happen to the nuclear weapons program? 791 00:54:22,280 --> 00:54:24,960 Speaker 12: I think it should be totally dismantled. I don't think 792 00:54:24,960 --> 00:54:28,680 Speaker 12: Iran has any need to pursue a military or weaponizing 793 00:54:28,760 --> 00:54:30,720 Speaker 12: of the nuclear program. 794 00:54:31,440 --> 00:54:33,680 Speaker 1: Over the years, I've had a lot of conversation with 795 00:54:34,239 --> 00:54:37,239 Speaker 1: Tom saw who's still with us, about Iran and the 796 00:54:37,400 --> 00:54:40,479 Speaker 1: threat that I ran postes not just two is real, 797 00:54:41,239 --> 00:54:42,720 Speaker 1: not just to the Middle East, but to the world, 798 00:54:44,360 --> 00:54:48,280 Speaker 1: and he said over and over again, he is dumbfounded 799 00:54:49,360 --> 00:54:52,840 Speaker 1: that the world is putting up with us given their blatant, 800 00:54:53,280 --> 00:54:58,040 Speaker 1: blatant threats. This is twenty ten, Tom, soall number twenty two. 801 00:54:59,320 --> 00:55:01,920 Speaker 13: You mentioned in this smantling America such a point in 802 00:55:02,000 --> 00:55:02,760 Speaker 13: foreign policy. 803 00:55:02,840 --> 00:55:03,719 Speaker 11: Let me quote you, Tom. 804 00:55:03,800 --> 00:55:07,600 Speaker 13: Iran is advancing step by step toward nuclear weapons while 805 00:55:07,600 --> 00:55:10,400 Speaker 13: the Europeans wring their hands in the United Nations engages 806 00:55:10,480 --> 00:55:15,360 Speaker 13: in leisurely discussion. When Osama bin Laden has nuclear weapons, 807 00:55:15,440 --> 00:55:19,080 Speaker 13: the choice will be between knuckling under and watching American 808 00:55:19,080 --> 00:55:22,360 Speaker 13: cities blasted off the face of the earth. That is 809 00:55:22,400 --> 00:55:27,919 Speaker 13: the point of no return, and we are drifting toward it. Yeah, 810 00:55:28,400 --> 00:55:31,000 Speaker 13: nothing you've seen since you wrote that causes you to 811 00:55:31,160 --> 00:55:33,120 Speaker 13: reconsider or no future views. 812 00:55:33,360 --> 00:55:33,400 Speaker 3: No. 813 00:55:33,920 --> 00:55:36,560 Speaker 14: I was a palled earlier this year when the I 814 00:55:36,600 --> 00:55:39,320 Speaker 14: think it was Gates or someone else in the Pentagon 815 00:55:39,800 --> 00:55:43,480 Speaker 14: elaked the fact that there were no contingency military plans 816 00:55:43,760 --> 00:55:47,600 Speaker 14: of stopping Iran from getting nuclear weapons. And now recently 817 00:55:48,120 --> 00:55:50,680 Speaker 14: there have been some talk that there are now plans. 818 00:55:51,040 --> 00:55:52,960 Speaker 14: Now I have no idea whether that means that there 819 00:55:53,000 --> 00:55:55,400 Speaker 14: really are plans, or whether they see an election coming 820 00:55:55,600 --> 00:55:58,320 Speaker 14: and they'd better create the impression that they have wall plans, 821 00:55:58,520 --> 00:56:02,160 Speaker 14: because they've covered themselves well, because they have international conferences 822 00:56:02,200 --> 00:56:05,719 Speaker 14: over Iran, they have resolutions in the these are these 823 00:56:05,760 --> 00:56:08,000 Speaker 14: are what I call elaborate ways of doing nothing. 824 00:56:08,239 --> 00:56:09,839 Speaker 13: Let me ask you this. Do you consider it, then, 825 00:56:09,920 --> 00:56:12,719 Speaker 13: the duty of the president of the United States to 826 00:56:12,880 --> 00:56:15,680 Speaker 13: prevent Iran from gaining that's clear to you. 827 00:56:16,000 --> 00:56:16,960 Speaker 2: I don't. 828 00:56:16,960 --> 00:56:20,080 Speaker 14: I don't know what earthly chance we have, Well, the 829 00:56:20,120 --> 00:56:23,560 Speaker 14: Western world has once the Iran has those weapons, you know. 830 00:56:23,640 --> 00:56:26,919 Speaker 13: It's what about this notion of the deterrence. It worked 831 00:56:26,960 --> 00:56:27,799 Speaker 13: during the Cold War? 832 00:56:27,960 --> 00:56:31,160 Speaker 14: Yeah, the the uh the Russians did not want us 833 00:56:31,200 --> 00:56:34,759 Speaker 14: to blast Moscow off the map. The Iranians have said themselves, 834 00:56:34,880 --> 00:56:38,640 Speaker 14: going back to Ayatola Komani, that theyre that their top 835 00:56:38,719 --> 00:56:42,239 Speaker 14: priority is not in Iran but Allah. And so if 836 00:56:42,280 --> 00:56:44,600 Speaker 14: they get into a war in which Iran is knocked out, 837 00:56:44,920 --> 00:56:48,479 Speaker 14: but they then strike a blow for Allah, they're they're, they're, they're, 838 00:56:48,560 --> 00:56:49,640 Speaker 14: they're they're happy with that. 839 00:56:50,640 --> 00:56:53,960 Speaker 13: And failing any serious signs that the United States would attack, 840 00:56:54,600 --> 00:56:56,719 Speaker 13: would you say that it's the duty of the Prime 841 00:56:56,719 --> 00:56:59,320 Speaker 13: Minister of Israel and his cabinet to order an attack. 842 00:56:59,680 --> 00:57:04,000 Speaker 14: Oh? Absolutely, it's thing of how pathetic this is that 843 00:57:04,680 --> 00:57:07,000 Speaker 14: the fate of the United States of America would be 844 00:57:07,040 --> 00:57:09,000 Speaker 14: in the hands of a country smaller than Lake Michigan. 845 00:57:10,400 --> 00:57:15,759 Speaker 1: That was sixteen years ago. We come back and I'll 846 00:57:15,800 --> 00:57:19,880 Speaker 1: tell you what Thomsill said thirteen years ago about the 847 00:57:19,880 --> 00:57:28,400 Speaker 1: same problem. It was interesting watching the President give a 848 00:57:28,480 --> 00:57:33,560 Speaker 1: Presidential Medal of Freedom to three service members, two of 849 00:57:33,600 --> 00:57:37,760 Speaker 1: whom I believe were no longer with us, and I 850 00:57:37,800 --> 00:57:41,320 Speaker 1: clicked on to see if ms NOW covered it, and 851 00:57:41,360 --> 00:57:43,960 Speaker 1: I was surprised that they did. And they clicked on 852 00:57:43,960 --> 00:57:46,080 Speaker 1: it to CNN to see if they covered it, and 853 00:57:46,120 --> 00:57:47,840 Speaker 1: I was surprised that they did. Till all three of 854 00:57:47,840 --> 00:57:53,560 Speaker 1: the major cable channels News Max, Fox, and CNN or 855 00:57:53,600 --> 00:57:59,600 Speaker 1: four MSNBC recovering this. I don't know that they would 856 00:57:59,600 --> 00:58:03,160 Speaker 1: have done this before. I don't know that they would 857 00:58:03,160 --> 00:58:06,160 Speaker 1: have done this before. The President's Stay of the Union 858 00:58:06,160 --> 00:58:08,280 Speaker 1: speech where he called him out for not standing up 859 00:58:08,320 --> 00:58:16,960 Speaker 1: for America. First President also talked movingly about the valor 860 00:58:17,080 --> 00:58:20,520 Speaker 1: and courage of one of these recipients of the Congressional 861 00:58:20,600 --> 00:58:23,040 Speaker 1: of the Presidential Medal of Freedom.

We'll start out the show with my 866 00:58:43,280 --> 00:58:46,320 Speaker 1: giving you the latest episode of Trump arrangement syndrome, probably 867 00:58:46,320 --> 00:58:50,280 Speaker 1: the most egregious one I've ever seen personally talking to 868 00:58:50,320 --> 00:58:53,400 Speaker 1: a neighbor. Neighbor introduced me to a friend who was 869 00:58:53,520 --> 00:58:58,120 Speaker 1: visiting from Arizona. So I said to her, Oh, what's 870 00:58:58,160 --> 00:59:01,880 Speaker 1: your take on what happened to now see Guthrie? And 871 00:59:01,960 --> 00:59:05,040 Speaker 1: she said, with a straight face, I think Trump has 872 00:59:05,080 --> 00:59:07,680 Speaker 1: something to do with her disappearance. I thought she was joking. 873 00:59:09,720 --> 00:59:12,240 Speaker 1: I said, you're joking. She said, no, I'm not. When 874 00:59:12,240 --> 00:59:16,760 Speaker 1: Trump said that he's gonna use whatever resources we have 875 00:59:16,880 --> 00:59:18,360 Speaker 1: in order to get to the bottom of it, I 876 00:59:18,440 --> 00:59:21,200 Speaker 1: knew that he had something to do with her disappearance. Honestly, 877 00:59:23,240 --> 00:59:25,800 Speaker 1: here's another example, this one on CNN. Listen to this 878 00:59:25,840 --> 00:59:31,240 Speaker 1: panelist number thirteen. It's like I am called a domestic 879 00:59:31,320 --> 00:59:33,080 Speaker 1: terrorist constantly by my government. 880 00:59:33,720 --> 00:59:35,760 Speaker 15: My president just stood at the State of the Union 881 00:59:35,800 --> 00:59:38,840 Speaker 15: and said the Democrats are evil monsters who should be killed. 882 00:59:39,040 --> 00:59:42,200 Speaker 1: If that person. No, the president did not wait a minute. 883 00:59:42,520 --> 00:59:44,240 Speaker 13: Okay, he said, I will be accurate. 884 00:59:45,480 --> 00:59:47,680 Speaker 2: Killed and I will be accurate. 885 00:59:48,000 --> 00:59:48,400 Speaker 16: I will be. 886 00:59:50,160 --> 00:59:53,680 Speaker 17: Okay, honest, I like you wait to let me, let 887 00:59:53,680 --> 00:59:54,080 Speaker 17: me give it. 888 00:59:54,120 --> 00:59:58,200 Speaker 1: Okay, to my points, an opportunity, correct, the American government 889 00:59:58,800 --> 00:59:59,360 Speaker 1: is all that. 890 00:59:59,520 --> 00:59:59,960 Speaker 16: He didn't. 891 01:00:00,080 --> 01:00:02,720 Speaker 3: He did not say he said we were the enemy 892 01:00:02,840 --> 01:00:03,840 Speaker 3: and we were terrible. 893 01:00:03,880 --> 01:00:04,440 Speaker 2: Would you say that? 894 01:00:04,440 --> 01:00:04,920 Speaker 8: That is there? 895 01:00:05,000 --> 01:00:06,920 Speaker 7: He did say he looked at the Democrats said these 896 01:00:06,920 --> 01:00:07,560 Speaker 7: people are crazy. 897 01:00:07,600 --> 01:00:13,360 Speaker 1: But he said, yeah, but he's right. 898 01:00:15,600 --> 01:00:17,040 Speaker 7: I was being hyperbolic, and. 899 01:00:17,480 --> 01:00:18,880 Speaker 1: You have to be accurate and not hyperbolic. 900 01:00:18,920 --> 01:00:22,000 Speaker 7: Go ahead and both okay, we have to okay, point. 901 01:00:21,920 --> 01:00:25,560 Speaker 1: I was being hyperbolic, and I apologize. My president just 902 01:00:25,600 --> 01:00:27,880 Speaker 1: stood up there and said Democrats were evil monsters and 903 01:00:27,920 --> 01:00:31,040 Speaker 1: they should be destroyed. I was being hyperbolic, and I apologize. 904 01:00:31,880 --> 01:00:35,920 Speaker 1: And this is tom So thirteen years ago, number twenty three. 905 01:00:36,240 --> 01:00:39,200 Speaker 14: And is getting nuclear weapons, and people don't seem to 906 01:00:39,280 --> 01:00:40,480 Speaker 14: understand what that means. 907 01:00:41,400 --> 01:00:41,600 Speaker 16: Uh. 908 01:00:41,640 --> 01:00:44,840 Speaker 14: The Japanese were a lot in nineteen forty five, were 909 01:00:44,880 --> 01:00:47,560 Speaker 14: a lot tougher than we are today, and yet it 910 01:00:47,600 --> 01:00:50,080 Speaker 14: took only two nuclear weapons to get them to surrender. 911 01:00:50,960 --> 01:00:53,680 Speaker 14: So people are saying, you know, Ron may have only 912 01:00:53,720 --> 01:00:57,440 Speaker 14: a couple of nuclear bombs, that's all they need. If 913 01:00:57,520 --> 01:01:00,880 Speaker 14: they're willing to die and we're not, then there's nothing 914 01:01:00,880 --> 01:01:01,840 Speaker 14: short or surrendered. 915 01:01:02,200 --> 01:01:04,200 Speaker 18: So what do you think we should do about Iran? 916 01:01:04,840 --> 01:01:06,520 Speaker 14: Stop them from getting nuclear weapons? 917 01:01:07,400 --> 01:01:12,080 Speaker 18: And that would mean attacking them or acquiescing in an 918 01:01:12,160 --> 01:01:13,000 Speaker 18: Israeli attack. 919 01:01:14,040 --> 01:01:18,880 Speaker 14: Yeah, it's sad that it's a question of acquiescing in 920 01:01:18,880 --> 01:01:24,480 Speaker 14: an Israeli attack. There have been indications that Saudi Arabia 921 01:01:24,520 --> 01:01:27,320 Speaker 14: would be quite willing to have Israeli planes fly over 922 01:01:27,360 --> 01:01:31,720 Speaker 14: there at night and bomb Iran and then of course 923 01:01:32,040 --> 01:01:36,160 Speaker 14: larger protests with the United Nations in the morning. But 924 01:01:36,760 --> 01:01:39,200 Speaker 14: the very fact that they have to fly over Irraq, 925 01:01:39,360 --> 01:01:44,080 Speaker 14: fly around Iraq because there are American fighter planes there 926 01:01:44,120 --> 01:01:47,120 Speaker 14: who might shoot down the Israeli planes. I mean, that 927 01:01:47,320 --> 01:01:49,560 Speaker 14: really does show where we've come. 928 01:01:50,440 --> 01:01:54,600 Speaker 18: You know, a lot of people recognize the threat of Iran, 929 01:01:54,640 --> 01:01:56,280 Speaker 18: but you're actually one of the few people that I've 930 01:01:56,320 --> 01:01:58,880 Speaker 18: talked to who really see it as a kind of 931 01:01:59,200 --> 01:02:02,880 Speaker 18: you know, the these days is existential threat to the 932 01:02:02,960 --> 01:02:05,240 Speaker 18: United States. It really changes our existence. 933 01:02:05,560 --> 01:02:08,720 Speaker 14: Oh, absolutely, Going all the way back to the Ayatola 934 01:02:08,760 --> 01:02:13,080 Speaker 14: Homni so that his phrase loyalty is not to Iran, 935 01:02:13,600 --> 01:02:17,680 Speaker 14: it's to Allah. And so if you know we can't 936 01:02:17,680 --> 01:02:19,880 Speaker 14: deter them, if with the threat that will come in 937 01:02:19,920 --> 01:02:23,880 Speaker 14: and destroy a whole lot of innocent Iranians, they don't care. 938 01:02:24,200 --> 01:02:26,800 Speaker 14: I mean, you can't deter suicide bombers. 939 01:02:26,960 --> 01:02:28,040 Speaker 1: So deterrence worked. 940 01:02:28,600 --> 01:02:31,040 Speaker 18: We're here at the Hoover Institution, which is home to 941 01:02:31,080 --> 01:02:34,560 Speaker 18: a lot of people who were architects of the deterrence policy. 942 01:02:34,880 --> 01:02:37,080 Speaker 1: Deterrence worked during the Cold War. But you don't think 943 01:02:37,120 --> 01:02:37,960 Speaker 1: it will work today. 944 01:02:38,120 --> 01:02:42,280 Speaker 14: No, because you can't deter suicidal people. You'll either stop 945 01:02:42,320 --> 01:02:43,600 Speaker 14: them or you don't stop them. 946 01:02:43,720 --> 01:02:47,400 Speaker 18: Do you think the administration is kind of distracted by 947 01:02:47,400 --> 01:02:50,240 Speaker 18: what's going on on the economic side and not paying 948 01:02:50,320 --> 01:02:52,960 Speaker 18: enough attention to Iran or do you think there's something 949 01:02:52,960 --> 01:02:53,880 Speaker 18: more basic going on? 950 01:02:54,000 --> 01:02:57,080 Speaker 14: No, I don't think they ever intended to do anything 951 01:02:57,240 --> 01:03:00,960 Speaker 14: serious to stop Iran. What they what they're what they 952 01:03:01,240 --> 01:03:04,160 Speaker 14: are doing, UH is a lot of charades at the 953 01:03:04,240 --> 01:03:07,920 Speaker 14: United Nations, which follows the whole years we've had all 954 01:03:08,000 --> 01:03:10,880 Speaker 14: kinds of charades of the United Nations, UH, and at 955 01:03:10,920 --> 01:03:13,439 Speaker 14: the League of Nations before that, for the very same 956 01:03:13,480 --> 01:03:16,200 Speaker 14: purpose of giving the impression that you're doing something when 957 01:03:16,240 --> 01:03:17,080 Speaker 14: you're not doing a thing. 958 01:03:17,640 --> 01:03:21,240 Speaker 1: Now, this, of course, was during the Obama administration. Obama 959 01:03:21,320 --> 01:03:24,280 Speaker 1: did the Iran deal, and by the way, the architect 960 01:03:24,320 --> 01:03:27,160 Speaker 1: of that deal, Ben Roads, the Deputy National Security Advisor, 961 01:03:28,520 --> 01:03:30,320 Speaker 1: gave an interview to The New York Times after he 962 01:03:30,360 --> 01:03:35,280 Speaker 1: had concluded this deal and said he sold it based 963 01:03:35,320 --> 01:03:38,360 Speaker 1: upon a false narrative, a narrative that he admitted was false. 964 01:03:38,760 --> 01:03:42,120 Speaker 1: That there's this big battle between the moderate Iatolas and 965 01:03:42,200 --> 01:03:46,160 Speaker 1: the hard liners, and if we can do this nuclear 966 01:03:46,480 --> 01:03:49,240 Speaker 1: Iran deal, we'll give more power to the moderates. 967 01:03:49,240 --> 01:03:49,640 Speaker 5: Ha ha ha. 968 01:03:50,080 --> 01:03:54,400 Speaker 1: They're all hardliner, he said. Republicans wanted to have congressional 969 01:03:54,400 --> 01:03:57,720 Speaker 1: hearings after that article came out, and the Obama administration 970 01:03:57,760 --> 01:04:02,040 Speaker 1: refused to make him available. Of course, now, as Operation 971 01:04:02,120 --> 01:04:05,640 Speaker 1: Epic Fury intensifies, the world braces for what comes next. 972 01:04:06,320 --> 01:04:09,640 Speaker 1: In the Holy Land, red alert sirens fill the air sirens. 973 01:04:09,640 --> 01:04:12,280 Speaker 1: They give you fifteen seconds to reach the nearest bomb shelter. 974 01:04:13,000 --> 01:04:16,160 Speaker 1: Situation is serious, that right is real. In times like this, 975 01:04:16,280 --> 01:04:19,640 Speaker 1: Freedom and faith aren't just abstract ideas. They are what 976 01:04:19,680 --> 01:04:22,840 Speaker 1: we depend upon. And in times like this, the International 977 01:04:22,840 --> 01:04:25,920 Speaker 1: Fellowship of Christians and Jews is on the ground, preparing 978 01:04:26,040 --> 01:04:29,880 Speaker 1: large scale distributions of life saving food, first aid, and 979 01:04:29,960 --> 01:04:35,160 Speaker 1: emergency essentials for security personnel, while helping ensure hospitals, emergency rooms, 980 01:04:35,200 --> 01:04:39,520 Speaker 1: and shelters are stocked with critical medical supplies. Israel's most vulnerable, 981 01:04:39,600 --> 01:04:43,200 Speaker 1: the sick, the elderly, children and families depend on the Fellowship, 982 01:04:44,600 --> 01:04:46,840 Speaker 1: and the people of the Holy Land depend on your 983 01:04:46,960 --> 01:04:55,800 Speaker 1: prayerful support.

We are Salem News Channel watching the coverage. 989 01:05:20,600 --> 01:05:25,439 Speaker 1: CNN focused more on did Trump violate the War Powers Act. 990 01:05:28,680 --> 01:05:35,080 Speaker 1: Fox News interviewed a bunch of Persians who were ecstatic 991 01:05:35,280 --> 01:05:39,920 Speaker 1: that finally, finally, somebody did something, you know, during the 992 01:05:39,920 --> 01:05:45,200 Speaker 1: Obama administration, they negotiated the Iran deal. Right, the deal 993 01:05:45,280 --> 01:05:53,360 Speaker 1: was consummated, and then CBS went to a mosque in 994 01:05:53,440 --> 01:05:57,400 Speaker 1: Iran to see if there's gonna be any difference in 995 01:05:57,440 --> 01:06:03,800 Speaker 1: their attitude towards America, and they were still channing death 996 01:06:03,960 --> 01:06:10,760 Speaker 1: to America. But note the way CBS characterized it number eighteen. 997 01:06:11,120 --> 01:06:13,200 Speaker 20: Well, for Israel and for the rest of the world 998 01:06:13,240 --> 01:06:16,800 Speaker 20: that matter, these negotiations were always about preventing Iran from 999 01:06:16,840 --> 01:06:20,400 Speaker 20: developing nuclear weapons, but for the Iranians it was something 1000 01:06:20,480 --> 01:06:23,320 Speaker 20: quite different. They were all about ending its isolation. 1001 01:06:25,680 --> 01:06:31,200 Speaker 21: After marathon negotiations, Iran's Foreign Minister Jowad Zarif, arrived home Ahro, 1002 01:06:32,000 --> 01:06:34,800 Speaker 21: especially among the young who hope the nuclear deal will 1003 01:06:34,800 --> 01:06:38,880 Speaker 21: bring their country in from the cold. At Friday prayers 1004 01:06:38,920 --> 01:06:41,560 Speaker 21: there was the usual chant of death to America, but 1005 01:06:41,720 --> 01:06:46,360 Speaker 21: more habit than conviction. The sermon by Senior Ayatola Casani 1006 01:06:46,400 --> 01:06:48,040 Speaker 21: made it clear that Iran's lead. 1007 01:06:48,080 --> 01:06:51,360 Speaker 1: Do you hear that? But more habit than conviction. How 1008 01:06:51,400 --> 01:06:55,960 Speaker 1: do you know? You know in Mars they were still 1009 01:06:56,040 --> 01:06:59,040 Speaker 1: channing death to America, but more out of habit rather 1010 01:06:59,080 --> 01:06:59,760 Speaker 1: than conviction. 1011 01:07:00,240 --> 01:07:01,680 Speaker 2: They didn't mean it. 1012 01:07:03,200 --> 01:07:04,680 Speaker 1: By the way, we're coming to you from the Relief 1013 01:07:04,720 --> 01:07:07,000 Speaker 1: Actor studio.

Betsy is in San Antonio, Betsy, 1016 01:07:14,360 --> 01:07:15,360 Speaker 1: you're in the malarial to show. 1017 01:07:17,600 --> 01:07:21,120 Speaker 22: First off, mister elders. I would like to congratulate you, 1018 01:07:21,200 --> 01:07:24,480 Speaker 22: or actually commend you on your patience with that first 1019 01:07:24,560 --> 01:07:28,640 Speaker 22: collar you had. They made my head explode. But you 1020 01:07:28,720 --> 01:07:31,240 Speaker 22: are so calm, and you tried to educate him and 1021 01:07:31,320 --> 01:07:35,000 Speaker 22: teach him, and he just kept raging. Anyway, I commend you, 1022 01:07:35,040 --> 01:07:38,040 Speaker 22: because my head blew off the top. Okay. I wanted 1023 01:07:38,080 --> 01:07:41,400 Speaker 22: to ask you a serious question though. Do you do 1024 01:07:41,480 --> 01:07:45,040 Speaker 22: you think that this I Ran war is going to 1025 01:07:45,080 --> 01:07:47,320 Speaker 22: be the beginning of a World War three? Or do 1026 01:07:47,360 --> 01:07:50,160 Speaker 22: you think it's going to be a temporary battle. 1027 01:07:51,080 --> 01:07:54,680 Speaker 1: I think it's going to be temporary. I think that 1028 01:07:56,400 --> 01:08:01,320 Speaker 1: already the Israelis and Americans have gained air superiority. Something 1029 01:08:01,480 --> 01:08:04,240 Speaker 1: like half of their nuclear missile sites have been destroyed. 1030 01:08:05,120 --> 01:08:09,280 Speaker 1: And Iran has done something that I didn't think was 1031 01:08:09,320 --> 01:08:12,560 Speaker 1: going to be possible. They've united the Gulf States against Iran. 1032 01:08:12,840 --> 01:08:18,000 Speaker 1: Iran has been shooting down or blasting targets in Dubai 1033 01:08:18,080 --> 01:08:20,880 Speaker 1: and other places, and so all these Gulf countries that 1034 01:08:20,920 --> 01:08:23,000 Speaker 1: we're going to stay out of this have now gotten involved. 1035 01:08:23,360 --> 01:08:27,840 Speaker 1: So there their economies on its back. Inflation is going 1036 01:08:27,880 --> 01:08:30,160 Speaker 1: at forty percent a year. Imagine you know, we got 1037 01:08:30,200 --> 01:08:32,439 Speaker 1: two and a half percent. We're unhappy. They've got forty 1038 01:08:32,479 --> 01:08:37,120 Speaker 1: percent per year high unemployment, very very deeply unpopular government. 1039 01:08:37,160 --> 01:08:39,240 Speaker 1: So I don't think it's going to take that much time. 1040 01:08:39,920 --> 01:08:42,760 Speaker 1: How it shapes out, who ends up running it, what 1041 01:08:42,880 --> 01:08:45,080 Speaker 1: kind of government they have, I have no idea. All 1042 01:08:45,080 --> 01:08:46,519 Speaker 1: I know is that whatever they have is going to 1043 01:08:46,520 --> 01:08:47,760 Speaker 1: be better than what we have right now. 1044 01:08:50,240 --> 01:08:50,840 Speaker 9: Thanks you, sir. 1045 01:08:51,360 --> 01:08:51,559 Speaker 8: You know. 1046 01:08:51,640 --> 01:08:53,640 Speaker 1: And the main and the main thing, Betsy, is this 1047 01:08:53,720 --> 01:08:58,719 Speaker 1: threat of a nuclear armed regime that shouts death to America, 1048 01:08:58,800 --> 01:09:02,479 Speaker 1: Death to America, and believe that dying is actually a promotion. 1049 01:09:04,320 --> 01:09:06,479 Speaker 1: I think it was General Patten who said, the object 1050 01:09:06,560 --> 01:09:08,200 Speaker 1: of war is not to die for your country. The 1051 01:09:08,200 --> 01:09:10,599 Speaker 1: object of war is to get the other, poor sol 1052 01:09:10,640 --> 01:09:12,680 Speaker 1: b to die for his country. But when the other 1053 01:09:12,720 --> 01:09:15,920 Speaker 1: poor SOLB wants to die and believe that will be 1054 01:09:15,960 --> 01:09:20,439 Speaker 1: a promotion to heaven and seventy two brown eyed version, 1055 01:09:20,520 --> 01:09:23,120 Speaker 1: This is a whole different person that you're dealing with. 1056 01:09:24,880 --> 01:09:28,800 Speaker 1: And these people are fanatics the idea. I mean, how 1057 01:09:28,840 --> 01:09:33,920 Speaker 1: many Iranians have been killed in the streets. I've heard 1058 01:09:33,960 --> 01:09:37,400 Speaker 1: as high as thirty thousand, maybe even more of their 1059 01:09:37,439 --> 01:09:41,800 Speaker 1: own people, So imagine what they would do to people 1060 01:09:41,840 --> 01:09:45,360 Speaker 1: they perceive to be their enemies. Thirty thousand of their 1061 01:09:45,439 --> 01:09:52,960 Speaker 1: own people have been killed, and Iran is what ninety 1062 01:09:52,960 --> 01:09:57,720 Speaker 1: million people, So do adjust that for our size of 1063 01:09:57,720 --> 01:10:03,479 Speaker 1: our country. Multiply that time three maybe four. Can you 1064 01:10:03,479 --> 01:10:05,920 Speaker 1: imagine if one hundred and twenty thousand Americans were killed 1065 01:10:06,320 --> 01:10:11,320 Speaker 1: by our government? Can you just imagine that that's essentially 1066 01:10:11,320 --> 01:10:16,080 Speaker 1: what just happened. And these people should be allowed to 1067 01:10:16,080 --> 01:10:19,280 Speaker 1: get a nuke, And this stupid I Ran deal that 1068 01:10:19,320 --> 01:10:22,400 Speaker 1: the Obama administration negotiated would have given them a glidepath 1069 01:10:22,439 --> 01:10:25,599 Speaker 1: to eventually get one, not right away, but eventually get 1070 01:10:25,600 --> 01:10:30,960 Speaker 1: one for what end. You heard the son of the 1071 01:10:31,080 --> 01:10:34,640 Speaker 1: Shaw say there's no neat reason economically for Iran to 1072 01:10:34,680 --> 01:10:41,280 Speaker 1: have nuclear power. Richmond bombs none. So do I believe 1073 01:10:41,360 --> 01:10:44,040 Speaker 1: that it's going to be short? I do. I could 1074 01:10:44,040 --> 01:10:48,040 Speaker 1: be wrong. You never know. Someone once said, when you 1075 01:10:48,080 --> 01:10:52,960 Speaker 1: start a war, it's like opening up a door and 1076 01:10:53,080 --> 01:10:55,840 Speaker 1: entering a dark room. Many things can go wrong and 1077 01:10:55,880 --> 01:10:58,599 Speaker 1: will go wrong. Already we've had some of our own 1078 01:10:58,600 --> 01:11:02,840 Speaker 1: planes shot down by the Koi friendly fire, So you 1079 01:11:02,920 --> 01:11:06,080 Speaker 1: never know what's going to happen. But I pretty certain 1080 01:11:06,120 --> 01:11:10,600 Speaker 1: what would happen if the fanatics in Iran had a 1081 01:11:10,680 --> 01:11:15,200 Speaker 1: nuclear bomb, and you heard Tom Soule say, it's not 1082 01:11:15,240 --> 01:11:17,559 Speaker 1: like they need to have a lot of them. We 1083 01:11:17,680 --> 01:11:23,280 Speaker 1: have European allies who have weak economies. I talked last 1084 01:11:23,280 --> 01:11:26,720 Speaker 1: week about our growth compared to their growth. Their military 1085 01:11:26,800 --> 01:11:33,640 Speaker 1: is weak. They rely on us. And Trump did this 1086 01:11:33,680 --> 01:11:38,200 Speaker 1: without the French, did this without the Brits. He no 1087 01:11:38,200 --> 01:11:52,760 Speaker 1: longer considers him to be reliable or even capable. Yeah, 1088 01:11:52,920 --> 01:11:59,800 Speaker 1: these are Persian Americans reacting to the news number thirty nine. 1089 01:12:01,320 --> 01:12:02,320 Speaker 7: Love you Trump. 1090 01:12:03,040 --> 01:12:06,960 Speaker 3: You can't you can't you imagine how you are appreciate 1091 01:12:07,360 --> 01:12:09,240 Speaker 3: our country, our people. 1092 01:12:09,760 --> 01:12:11,120 Speaker 2: I'm really appreciated. 1093 01:12:11,240 --> 01:12:12,040 Speaker 4: We love you. 1094 01:12:12,160 --> 01:12:14,080 Speaker 1: Cank you miss the President Trump. 1095 01:12:14,439 --> 01:12:17,400 Speaker 23: God bless you, God bless America. 1096 01:12:17,640 --> 01:12:22,240 Speaker 2: Thank you, miss their president. Dear miss the President Trump. 1097 01:12:22,360 --> 01:12:23,519 Speaker 4: Trump kill comedy. 1098 01:12:23,680 --> 01:12:24,559 Speaker 20: I'm so happy. 1099 01:12:24,720 --> 01:12:25,439 Speaker 8: Thanks Trump. 1100 01:12:25,520 --> 01:12:26,240 Speaker 2: Thanks Trump. 1101 01:12:26,439 --> 01:12:28,160 Speaker 4: You are the best man in the world. 1102 01:12:28,280 --> 01:12:29,200 Speaker 2: I love you Trump. 1103 01:12:29,280 --> 01:12:31,759 Speaker 23: I want to have a big thanks to President Trump 1104 01:12:31,960 --> 01:12:35,519 Speaker 23: for keeping his promise and freeing people of Iran. That 1105 01:12:35,640 --> 01:12:39,520 Speaker 23: has nothing to do with this government, with this terrorist government. 1106 01:12:42,160 --> 01:12:46,240 Speaker 1: Let me share with you Brian's story from Alabama. He 1107 01:12:46,320 --> 01:12:48,719 Speaker 1: tells us, ever taking relief factor for just three weeks, 1108 01:12:49,160 --> 01:12:51,200 Speaker 1: at least ninety percent of my pain has gone. My 1109 01:12:51,240 --> 01:12:53,639 Speaker 1: pain has started to limit me at work and at home, 1110 01:12:54,200 --> 01:12:56,639 Speaker 1: and now I'm amazed at the relief I've gotten into. Quote. 1111 01:12:56,640 --> 01:12:59,559 Speaker 1: These are Brian's own words, and they speak volumes about 1112 01:12:59,560 --> 01:13:02,240 Speaker 1: what relief can do. I've told you about my buddy Tom, 1113 01:13:02,240 --> 01:13:05,080 Speaker 1: an avid golfer who's out on the course almost every 1114 01:13:05,160 --> 01:13:08,559 Speaker 1: single day. Scratch Golfer says, without Relief Factor, he wouldn't 1115 01:13:08,560 --> 01:13:10,720 Speaker 1: be able to swing freely because of shoulder and back pain. 1116 01:13:11,720 --> 01:13:14,640 Speaker 1: But since taking Relief Factor, he stayed active, comfortable and 1117 01:13:14,720 --> 01:13:17,680 Speaker 1: confident in that swing. That's why I am encouraging you 1118 01:13:17,720 --> 01:13:19,760 Speaker 1: to try a relief factor for yourself and see what 1119 01:13:19,800 --> 01:13:22,599 Speaker 1: it can do.

This just end from the Associated Press. 1136 01:14:36,840 --> 01:14:40,000 Speaker 1: Saudi Arabia says US embassy and Riodd has been attacked 1137 01:14:40,000 --> 01:14:43,840 Speaker 1: by two drones causing a quote unquote limited fire. Don't 1138 01:14:43,840 --> 01:14:47,559 Speaker 1: know what limited fire means.

The crew aboard all three 1141 01:14:57,560 --> 01:15:00,920 Speaker 1: ejected safely and were rescued. According to you Less Central Command, 1142 01:15:04,920 --> 01:15:07,200 Speaker 1: LEO is in Los Angeles. Leo, you and Lario to 1143 01:15:07,240 --> 01:15:08,480 Speaker 1: show thank you for calling. 1144 01:15:10,720 --> 01:15:14,760 Speaker 19: Larry. You are a beacon of light through the Stygian 1145 01:15:15,240 --> 01:15:20,439 Speaker 19: darkness of the Left. It's much appreciated. I want to 1146 01:15:20,439 --> 01:15:24,960 Speaker 19: make a historical analogy when the Russians. When the Third 1147 01:15:24,960 --> 01:15:29,160 Speaker 19: Reiche was falling apart, and the Russians arrived in Berlin, 1148 01:15:29,760 --> 01:15:33,760 Speaker 19: where did they go first. They didn't seek out the politicians, 1149 01:15:33,800 --> 01:15:36,800 Speaker 19: they didn't seek out the ammunitions. They went to the 1150 01:15:36,880 --> 01:15:42,200 Speaker 19: mox Plank Institute of Physics because they knew what the 1151 01:15:42,240 --> 01:15:46,479 Speaker 19: Third Reich would do with a nuclear bomb. They knew that. 1152 01:15:46,880 --> 01:15:50,720 Speaker 19: That'll tell you the import of a historical perspective on 1153 01:15:50,840 --> 01:15:56,280 Speaker 19: President Trump's decision. When the Pacific Theater, when the invasion 1154 01:15:56,400 --> 01:15:59,479 Speaker 19: of Japan was planned, and Truman was told that be 1155 01:15:59,560 --> 01:16:04,599 Speaker 19: a million lost American life, and he was informed of 1156 01:16:04,680 --> 01:16:08,080 Speaker 19: the power of the nuclear bomb, for a good reason, 1157 01:16:08,400 --> 01:16:11,360 Speaker 19: he decided to use the bomb rather than sacrifice those 1158 01:16:11,400 --> 01:16:16,160 Speaker 19: millions of lives. My point is simple. President Trump's decision 1159 01:16:17,320 --> 01:16:22,040 Speaker 19: was thoughtful and based on historical perspective. It's a righteous 1160 01:16:22,080 --> 01:16:25,360 Speaker 19: decision and one which I and many of my college 1161 01:16:25,439 --> 01:16:28,000 Speaker 19: fully support absolutely. 1162 01:16:28,439 --> 01:16:31,760 Speaker 1: And Leo, since you brought this up. We were the 1163 01:16:31,800 --> 01:16:37,080 Speaker 1: sole possessor of the mightiest weapon in history, the atomic bomb, 1164 01:16:37,320 --> 01:16:40,479 Speaker 1: for five years. What do we do with it? Who 1165 01:16:40,560 --> 01:16:43,040 Speaker 1: do we terrorize with it? Who did we threaten with it? 1166 01:16:43,760 --> 01:16:46,479 Speaker 1: Who did we subordinate with it? Can you imagine if 1167 01:16:46,560 --> 01:16:51,320 Speaker 1: Russia or Germany or China had been solely in possession 1168 01:16:51,720 --> 01:16:54,080 Speaker 1: of the mightiest weapon the world had ever seen, what 1169 01:16:54,120 --> 01:16:57,040 Speaker 1: they would have done with it. Yet yet we're despised 1170 01:16:57,040 --> 01:16:59,600 Speaker 1: by much of the world. Even though we showed a 1171 01:16:59,720 --> 01:17:03,240 Speaker 1: maasing restraint, and we could have just toppled everybody, conquered everybody, 1172 01:17:03,479 --> 01:17:04,920 Speaker 1: taken everything, we did nothing. 1173 01:17:07,680 --> 01:17:14,320 Speaker 19: It's it's uh, it's a historically grounded, logical decision. I 1174 01:17:14,439 --> 01:17:16,760 Speaker 19: just I read a lot about World War two and 1175 01:17:16,800 --> 01:17:19,600 Speaker 19: when the when the Russians got to Berlin. 1176 01:17:19,840 --> 01:17:21,880 Speaker 1: Ed, if we're gonna have to leave it there, we 1177 01:17:21,880 --> 01:17:23,760 Speaker 1: will thank you for calling.

We haven't had 1197 01:18:49,000 --> 01:18:54,839 Speaker 1: any comprehensive immigration reform. It was secured in thirty days. Stunning. 1198 01:18:57,240 --> 01:19:01,719 Speaker 1: He negotiated the release of the hostages and means.

There were more than two hundred 1256 01:23:59,000 --> 01:24:03,080 Speaker 3: Jewish Americans in the camp, and Roddy knew their separation 1257 01:24:03,240 --> 01:24:07,160 Speaker 3: from the group would mean certain death, So that night 1258 01:24:07,200 --> 01:24:11,280 Speaker 3: he summoned his team and devised a plan. The next morning, 1259 01:24:11,720 --> 01:24:15,240 Speaker 3: all twelve hundred American men fell in line together. 1260 01:24:15,040 --> 01:24:16,240 Speaker 2: Shoulder to shoulder. 1261 01:24:17,520 --> 01:24:23,320 Speaker 3: Enraged, the Nazi commandant rushed forward, drew his lugar pistol, 1262 01:24:24,040 --> 01:24:27,719 Speaker 3: and pressed the barrel between Sergeant Edmund's eyes. 1263 01:24:28,760 --> 01:24:31,479 Speaker 2: He barked at Roddy, they. 1264 01:24:31,960 --> 01:24:36,160 Speaker 3: Cannot all be Jews, he screamed loud and again and again, 1265 01:24:37,040 --> 01:24:40,400 Speaker 3: and staring straight back into the raging face of evil, 1266 01:24:41,200 --> 01:24:47,200 Speaker 3: Sergeant Edmunds replied, fearlessly, we are all Jews here.

Going to remind 1279 01:25:47,600 --> 01:25:52,360 Speaker 1: you that President Obama authorized over five hundred targeted drone 1280 01:25:52,360 --> 01:25:59,240 Speaker 1: strikes resulted in an estimated nearly four thousand deaths, including 1281 01:25:59,280 --> 01:26:04,840 Speaker 1: over three hundreds civilians. Operations were primarily in Pakistan, Yemen, 1282 01:26:04,960 --> 01:26:13,160 Speaker 1: and Somalia, and supposedly he personally approved the targets. Remember, 1283 01:26:14,360 --> 01:26:17,680 Speaker 1: during the Obama administration, he joined with France and the 1284 01:26:17,760 --> 01:26:20,880 Speaker 1: UK to bomb Libya even though Kadaf had already given 1285 01:26:20,960 --> 01:26:24,639 Speaker 1: up his nuclear program.

And 1310 01:28:21,200 --> 01:28:24,360 Speaker 1: of course, because he became president again, we now found 1311 01:28:24,400 --> 01:28:29,200 Speaker 1: out about the law fair against him. That members of 1312 01:28:29,240 --> 01:28:34,400 Speaker 1: the Intel community under Barack Obama did not believe that 1313 01:28:34,439 --> 01:28:36,920 Speaker 1: the Russians were trying to help Donald Trump get elected. 1314 01:28:38,760 --> 01:28:41,960 Speaker 1: And then Trump gets elected.

I also want to specifically call out 1378 01:33:13,960 --> 01:33:19,120 Speaker 15: United States Transportation Command and US Stratcom for their contributions 1379 01:33:19,160 --> 01:33:23,880 Speaker 15: to this fight. We cannot project American combat power at 1380 01:33:23,920 --> 01:33:27,759 Speaker 15: the time and place of our choosing without both. And finally, 1381 01:33:27,800 --> 01:33:30,519 Speaker 15: I want to express how deeply thankful I am for 1382 01:33:30,600 --> 01:33:34,639 Speaker 15: the continued service and sacrifice of the entire Joint Force 1383 01:33:35,160 --> 01:33:40,200 Speaker 15: and their families. Their unwavering commitment and dedication are the 1384 01:33:40,320 --> 01:33:44,040 Speaker 15: cornerstones of this effort. So let me start with a 1385 01:33:44,080 --> 01:33:48,160 Speaker 15: few details first. To be clear, as the Secretary said, 1386 01:33:48,520 --> 01:33:53,040 Speaker 15: this is not a single overnight operation. The military objectives 1387 01:33:53,040 --> 01:33:55,640 Speaker 15: at Sencom and the Joint Force have been tasked with 1388 01:33:55,880 --> 01:33:59,280 Speaker 15: will take some time to achieve and in some cases 1389 01:33:59,640 --> 01:34:03,120 Speaker 15: will be difficult and gritty work. We expect to take 1390 01:34:03,479 --> 01:34:07,960 Speaker 15: additional losses, and as always, we will work to minimize 1391 01:34:08,240 --> 01:34:12,040 Speaker 15: US losses. But as the Secretary said, this is major 1392 01:34:12,080 --> 01:34:16,120 Speaker 15: combat operations, so let me talk about the preparation and 1393 01:34:16,200 --> 01:34:19,840 Speaker 15: the planning. On February twenty eighth, the full strength of 1394 01:34:19,880 --> 01:34:24,280 Speaker 15: America's armed forces came together in a unified purpose against 1395 01:34:24,320 --> 01:34:26,160 Speaker 15: a capable and determined adversary. 1396 01:34:26,680 --> 01:34:27,960 Speaker 7: The United States. 1397 01:34:27,720 --> 01:34:33,080 Speaker 15: Army, Navy, Marine Corps, Air Force, Space Force, Coastguard, and 1398 01:34:33,160 --> 01:34:37,680 Speaker 15: our reserve components integrated our cross our combatant commands and 1399 01:34:37,800 --> 01:34:42,240 Speaker 15: began coordinated operations with the Israeli armed forces of an 1400 01:34:42,280 --> 01:34:47,200 Speaker 15: unprecedented scale. As the Secretary laid out, our military objectives 1401 01:34:47,200 --> 01:34:50,680 Speaker 15: are clear. Our mission is to protect and defend ourselves and, 1402 01:34:50,720 --> 01:34:55,920 Speaker 15: together with our regional partners, prevent Iran from the ability 1403 01:34:55,960 --> 01:34:59,840 Speaker 15: to project power outside of its borders, and be ready 1404 01:34:59,840 --> 01:35:05,919 Speaker 15: for follow on actions as appropriate. Across every domain, land, air, sea, cyber, 1405 01:35:06,120 --> 01:35:10,519 Speaker 15: The US Joint Force delivered synchronized and layered effects designed 1406 01:35:10,560 --> 01:35:16,519 Speaker 15: to disrupt, degrade, deny, and destroy Iran's ability to conduct 1407 01:35:16,560 --> 01:35:21,719 Speaker 15: and sustain combat operations. On the US side, this marked 1408 01:35:21,720 --> 01:35:25,880 Speaker 15: the culmination of months and in some cases years, of 1409 01:35:25,920 --> 01:35:30,920 Speaker 15: deliberate planning and refinement against this particular target set. From 1410 01:35:31,000 --> 01:35:36,760 Speaker 15: precision strikes against key military infrastructure, to persistent intelligence and 1411 01:35:36,840 --> 01:35:41,719 Speaker 15: targeting integration, to the close coordination of the components across 1412 01:35:41,840 --> 01:35:49,120 Speaker 15: vast distances. This operation again demonstrated America's reach, readiness, and professionalism, 1413 01:35:49,479 --> 01:35:53,280 Speaker 15: and that of our joint United Force. It was historic 1414 01:35:53,439 --> 01:35:56,519 Speaker 15: not only in the operational scope, but in the level 1415 01:35:56,560 --> 01:36:01,920 Speaker 15: of joint integration displayed across every element of the Joint Force. 1416 01:36:02,439 --> 01:36:05,040 Speaker 15: And as I said earlier, this work is just beginning 1417 01:36:05,040 --> 01:36:06,639 Speaker 15: and will continue. 1418 01:36:06,120 --> 01:36:09,040 Speaker 1: When we come back more of what General Kine is saying. 1419 01:36:09,080 --> 01:36:11,639 Speaker 1: By the way, a bunch of people have called and said, no, 1420 01:36:11,800 --> 01:36:14,759 Speaker 1: it was the Medal of Honor that the President awarded 1421 01:36:16,360 --> 01:36:19,519 Speaker 1: in Congress's name. The Presidential Medal of Freedom is the 1422 01:36:19,600 --> 01:36:23,160 Speaker 1: highest civilian award. But no, this is the medal of honor. 1423 01:36:23,320 --> 01:36:26,120 Speaker 1: A whole bunch of people called, Okay, my bad, I 1424 01:36:26,200 --> 01:36:27,400 Speaker 1: just do that.

In January, 1432 01:36:51,160 --> 01:36:54,479 Speaker 1: at the World Economic Forum, the Treasury Secretary Scott Bessett 1433 01:36:54,479 --> 01:36:58,719 Speaker 1: talked about how it is that we are destabilizing Araand's economy. 1434 01:36:58,720 --> 01:37:00,479 Speaker 1: I'll get to that in a second, but back to 1435 01:37:01,200 --> 01:37:02,639 Speaker 1: the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs. 1436 01:37:03,960 --> 01:37:06,240 Speaker 15: So now to talk a little bit about setting the 1437 01:37:06,360 --> 01:37:09,640 Speaker 15: force and setting the theater. On the order of the 1438 01:37:09,680 --> 01:37:13,000 Speaker 15: Secretary of War. Over the last thirty days, to reinforce 1439 01:37:13,080 --> 01:37:17,800 Speaker 15: deterrents and provide the President with credible options should action 1440 01:37:17,960 --> 01:37:22,880 Speaker 15: be required, the Joint Force began to systematically reposition assets 1441 01:37:22,920 --> 01:37:28,080 Speaker 15: in personnel across the region. These movements ensured that US 1442 01:37:28,080 --> 01:37:34,320 Speaker 15: forces remained postured, protected, and ready to respond decisively for 1443 01:37:34,439 --> 01:37:39,320 Speaker 15: any emerging threat. This deployment included thousands of service members 1444 01:37:39,360 --> 01:37:44,040 Speaker 15: from all branches, hundreds of advanced fourth and fifth generation fighters, 1445 01:37:44,120 --> 01:37:48,519 Speaker 15: dozens of refueling tankers, the Lincoln and Ford Carrier Strike 1446 01:37:48,560 --> 01:37:52,800 Speaker 15: Group and their embarked air wings. Sustained flow of munitions, 1447 01:37:52,880 --> 01:37:57,640 Speaker 15: fuel supplies, all supported with command and control, intelligence, surveillance, 1448 01:37:57,680 --> 01:38:03,479 Speaker 15: and reconnaissance. Network of forces continues today. In fact, Admiral 1449 01:38:03,520 --> 01:38:08,120 Speaker 15: Cooper will receive additional forces even today. This rapid build 1450 01:38:08,200 --> 01:38:13,240 Speaker 15: up of forces demonstrated the joint forces ability to adapt 1451 01:38:13,280 --> 01:38:15,439 Speaker 15: and project power at the time and place of our 1452 01:38:15,560 --> 01:38:19,240 Speaker 15: nation's choosing. I want to highlight a couple specific cases 1453 01:38:19,280 --> 01:38:19,559 Speaker 15: for you. 1454 01:38:20,200 --> 01:38:21,000 Speaker 2: The Gerald R. 1455 01:38:21,040 --> 01:38:23,840 Speaker 15: Ford Carrier Strike Group, which many of you know was 1456 01:38:23,920 --> 01:38:28,320 Speaker 15: down in the Western Hemisphere, redeployed across the Atlantic to 1457 01:38:28,439 --> 01:38:32,280 Speaker 15: set the theater. The ship, her crew, their families in 1458 01:38:32,360 --> 01:38:35,679 Speaker 15: the entire Strike Group took a deep breath, and as 1459 01:38:35,720 --> 01:38:41,479 Speaker 15: they always do, began planning to conduct combat operations. The 1460 01:38:41,479 --> 01:38:46,120 Speaker 15: integrated Reserve and National Guard forces have continued to demonstrate 1461 01:38:46,520 --> 01:38:50,560 Speaker 15: the value of America's reserve forces, including the westcar Wisconsin 1462 01:38:50,680 --> 01:38:53,960 Speaker 15: Army National Guard operating in Kuwait and Rock and Air 1463 01:38:54,080 --> 01:38:58,000 Speaker 15: National Guard units from a variety of states, to include 1464 01:38:58,120 --> 01:39:01,320 Speaker 15: Vermont and Virginia in the case of the Vermont Air 1465 01:39:01,439 --> 01:39:04,160 Speaker 15: National Guard and the one to fifty eighth Fighter Wing. 1466 01:39:04,439 --> 01:39:08,439 Speaker 15: They were mobilized for Operation Absolute Resolve and then were 1467 01:39:08,520 --> 01:39:11,680 Speaker 15: tasked to take their F thirty five a's across the 1468 01:39:11,720 --> 01:39:14,879 Speaker 15: Atlantic instead of going home to be prepared to support 1469 01:39:14,920 --> 01:39:18,479 Speaker 15: this operation. The same as with our Air National Guard 1470 01:39:18,520 --> 01:39:22,000 Speaker 15: and Air Force Reserve Command, tanker and mobility forces who 1471 01:39:22,040 --> 01:39:25,720 Speaker 15: stepped right out of their civilian jobs to deploy and 1472 01:39:25,760 --> 01:39:30,120 Speaker 15: to protect the region. Lastly, I want to highlight the 1473 01:39:30,280 --> 01:39:35,599 Speaker 15: unsung heroes of warfare, our American logisticians and sustainment force, 1474 01:39:36,200 --> 01:39:40,240 Speaker 15: those who quietly work every day behind the scenes to 1475 01:39:40,360 --> 01:39:45,599 Speaker 15: project and sustain America's combat power. Our leaders from World 1476 01:39:45,600 --> 01:39:49,080 Speaker 15: War II were right when they said professionals do logistics. 1477 01:39:49,720 --> 01:39:53,400 Speaker 15: As regional tensions rose, the Joint Force elevated our force 1478 01:39:53,479 --> 01:39:57,720 Speaker 15: protection measures on the order of the Secretary and repositioned 1479 01:39:57,760 --> 01:40:02,080 Speaker 15: discreetly civilians and non essential personnel designed to ensure the 1480 01:40:02,120 --> 01:40:05,840 Speaker 15: safety and security of our Joint Force. By the time 1481 01:40:05,920 --> 01:40:09,960 Speaker 15: operations began, only essential forces remained on our bases and 1482 01:40:10,000 --> 01:40:15,280 Speaker 15: in theater, all ready capable to respond. So now let 1483 01:40:15,320 --> 01:40:19,920 Speaker 15: me move to h hour. At fifteen thirty eight three 1484 01:40:20,080 --> 01:40:25,000 Speaker 15: thirty eight pm on Friday, February twenty seventh, the United 1485 01:40:25,040 --> 01:40:28,680 Speaker 15: States Central Command, through the Secretary of War received the 1486 01:40:28,760 --> 01:40:32,640 Speaker 15: final go order from President Trump.

Pilots and 1491 01:40:50,280 --> 01:40:53,800 Speaker 15: crews rehearse their strike packages for the final time. Air 1492 01:40:53,840 --> 01:40:57,559 Speaker 15: crews began loading their final weapons, and two carrier strike 1493 01:40:57,600 --> 01:40:59,960 Speaker 15: groups began to move towards their launching. 1494 01:40:59,600 --> 01:41:01,639 Speaker 2: Points across the globe. 1495 01:41:01,680 --> 01:41:05,280 Speaker 15: Our operation centers came alive in Tampa, Florida, here at 1496 01:41:05,320 --> 01:41:08,679 Speaker 15: the Pentagon, and of course forward in the Central Command AAR. 1497 01:41:09,600 --> 01:41:15,559 Speaker 15: As always, operational security was paramount as we sought to 1498 01:41:15,640 --> 01:41:20,240 Speaker 15: maintain and sustain the element of surprise. This operation was 1499 01:41:20,320 --> 01:41:23,800 Speaker 15: highly classified, so that at each hour the enemy would 1500 01:41:23,840 --> 01:41:28,439 Speaker 15: see one thing, speed, surprise and violence of action. The 1501 01:41:28,479 --> 01:41:32,799 Speaker 15: first movers were US Cybercom and US space Com, layering 1502 01:41:32,840 --> 01:41:37,679 Speaker 15: non kinetic effects, disrupting and degrading and blinding Iran's ability 1503 01:41:37,720 --> 01:41:42,839 Speaker 15: to see, communicate, and respond.

This was a daylight strike based 1521 01:42:50,840 --> 01:42:54,800 Speaker 15: on air trigger event conducted by the Israeli Defense Forces, 1522 01:42:55,240 --> 01:42:59,320 Speaker 15: enabled by the US intelligence community. The first shooters at 1523 01:42:59,400 --> 01:43:03,559 Speaker 15: sea were Omahawks unleashed by the United States Navy, closed 1524 01:43:03,600 --> 01:43:07,479 Speaker 15: in on Iranian naval forces and began to conduct strikes 1525 01:43:07,520 --> 01:43:11,639 Speaker 15: across the southern flank in Iran on the ground forces 1526 01:43:11,680 --> 01:43:18,400 Speaker 15: fired precision standoff weapons measured deliberate, precise, and lethal. This 1527 01:43:18,560 --> 01:43:22,960 Speaker 15: was a massive, overwhelming attack across all domains of warfare, 1528 01:43:23,160 --> 01:43:25,799 Speaker 15: striking more than one thousand targets in the first twenty 1529 01:43:25,800 --> 01:43:30,800 Speaker 15: four hours. We are now roughly fifty seven hours into 1530 01:43:30,880 --> 01:43:35,680 Speaker 15: the operation. In the initial phase, Sentcom's focus was systematic 1531 01:43:35,720 --> 01:43:41,600 Speaker 15: targeting of Iranians, command and control infrastructure, naval forces, ballistic 1532 01:43:41,680 --> 01:43:47,679 Speaker 15: missile sites, and intelligence infrastructure designed to daze and confuse them. 1533 01:43:48,280 --> 01:43:54,679 Speaker 15: Coordinated space and cyber operations effectively disrupted communications and sensor 1534 01:43:54,800 --> 01:43:59,679 Speaker 15: networks across the area of responsibility, leaving the adversary without 1535 01:43:59,800 --> 01:44:04,400 Speaker 15: the the ability to see, coordinate, or respond effectively. The 1536 01:44:04,479 --> 01:44:08,840 Speaker 15: combined impact of these strikes, swift, precise, and overwhelming, has 1537 01:44:08,880 --> 01:44:13,360 Speaker 15: resulted in the establishment of local air superiority. This air 1538 01:44:13,400 --> 01:44:17,040 Speaker 15: superiority will not only enhance the protection of our forces, 1539 01:44:17,360 --> 01:44:20,759 Speaker 15: but also allow them to continue the work over Iran. 1540 01:44:21,840 --> 01:44:24,040 Speaker 15: Over the course of the last two days, the joint 1541 01:44:24,080 --> 01:44:27,559 Speaker 15: force has launched hundreds of missions from land and sea 1542 01:44:28,160 --> 01:44:31,360 Speaker 15: and delivered tens of thousands of pieces of ordinance. The 1543 01:44:31,400 --> 01:44:36,840 Speaker 15: effort continues to scale. This included American B two bombers, which, 1544 01:44:36,880 --> 01:44:40,360 Speaker 15: again similar to Midnight Hammer, flew a thirty seven hour 1545 01:44:40,479 --> 01:44:45,000 Speaker 15: round trip sortie from the continental United States, dropping precision 1546 01:44:45,479 --> 01:44:51,120 Speaker 15: penetrating munitions on Iranian underground facilities across the southern flank 1547 01:44:51,520 --> 01:44:56,880 Speaker 15: and slightly deeper. Additionally, Israel has separately executed hundreds of 1548 01:44:56,920 --> 01:45:02,200 Speaker 15: sorties against hundreds of targets. Beyond air Force and Navy 1549 01:45:02,439 --> 01:45:07,400 Speaker 15: aircraft strike packages, coordinated salvos of precision standoff weapons from 1550 01:45:07,400 --> 01:45:11,439 Speaker 15: across the region have neutralized hundreds of pre planted targets. 1551 01:45:12,120 --> 01:45:16,080 Speaker 15: As I mentioned earlier, in support of these kinetic operations, 1552 01:45:16,200 --> 01:45:21,880 Speaker 15: US cybercommt spacecom have continuously layered effects to disrupt, disorient, 1553 01:45:22,280 --> 01:45:26,080 Speaker 15: and confuse the enemy. I will note that this operation 1554 01:45:26,800 --> 01:45:30,719 Speaker 15: had several combat firsts, which I'll allow at some point 1555 01:45:30,760 --> 01:45:33,559 Speaker 15: in the future Admiral Cooper to talk about since he 1556 01:45:33,600 --> 01:45:40,320 Speaker 15: owns the AAR. While we've prosecuted a relentless offensive campaign, 1557 01:45:40,800 --> 01:45:45,800 Speaker 15: our defense has been equally important. Across the theater. Operations 1558 01:45:45,840 --> 01:45:50,439 Speaker 15: have remained steady and disciplined. Once again, our integrated air 1559 01:45:50,479 --> 01:45:55,720 Speaker 15: and Missile defense network is performing axactly exactly as it's intended. 1560 01:45:56,680 --> 01:46:01,559 Speaker 15: US Patriot and THAD batteries, along with ballistic missile defense 1561 01:46:01,720 --> 01:46:07,120 Speaker 15: capable Navy destroyers continue to coordinate and execute intercepts with 1562 01:46:07,200 --> 01:46:13,679 Speaker 15: precision and consistency. I wish that every American could hear 1563 01:46:13,920 --> 01:46:18,800 Speaker 15: the voice communications like I have, as these joint operation 1564 01:46:19,120 --> 01:46:25,880 Speaker 15: centers remain calm, focused, and cool while executing under fire 1565 01:46:26,760 --> 01:46:32,040 Speaker 15: over and over again. Collectively, these systems have intercepted hundreds 1566 01:46:32,080 --> 01:46:38,360 Speaker 15: of ballistic missiles targeting US forces, our partners, and regional stability. 1567 01:46:39,400 --> 01:46:43,000 Speaker 15: The threat from one way attack UABS has remained persistent. 1568 01:46:43,720 --> 01:46:48,439 Speaker 15: Our systems have proven effective encountering these platforms, engaging targets rapidly. 1569 01:46:49,040 --> 01:46:55,000 Speaker 15: Each intercept represents hundreds of hours of training, readiness, and technology, 1570 01:46:55,080 --> 01:46:59,679 Speaker 15: all coming together to work as designed. We remain vigilant 1571 01:46:59,760 --> 01:47:03,160 Speaker 15: in the counter UAV fight, and the defense of the 1572 01:47:03,200 --> 01:47:07,240 Speaker 15: region is not ours alone. As the threat grew, our 1573 01:47:07,320 --> 01:47:12,120 Speaker 15: partners surged in beside US Air Defense batteries in Qatar, 1574 01:47:12,680 --> 01:47:16,080 Speaker 15: the UAE, Kuwait, Jordan, and Saudi Arabia joined the fight, 1575 01:47:16,720 --> 01:47:20,640 Speaker 15: proof positive that years of training, trust and harder and 1576 01:47:20,680 --> 01:47:25,840 Speaker 15: integration payoff. I am aware of the loss of three 1577 01:47:26,400 --> 01:47:29,599 Speaker 15: US Air Force F fifteen and e's overnight in the region. 1578 01:47:30,479 --> 01:47:33,320 Speaker 15: I am grateful for the safety of the crews, and 1579 01:47:33,360 --> 01:47:36,880 Speaker 15: we know that this was not from hostile enemy fire. 1580 01:47:37,640 --> 01:47:41,679 Speaker 15: As this matters under investigation, I'll not comment further on this, 1581 01:47:42,880 --> 01:47:47,719 Speaker 15: let me close. Operations will remain active across the theater 1582 01:47:48,320 --> 01:47:52,720 Speaker 15: and across the globe. The US forces are postured not 1583 01:47:52,760 --> 01:47:57,600 Speaker 15: only to maintain pressure, but to respond and adapt as required. 1584 01:47:58,479 --> 01:48:01,559 Speaker 15: Operation Epic Fury stands as a reminder of what the 1585 01:48:01,680 --> 01:48:07,519 Speaker 15: United States military uniquely delivers, the ability to project power 1586 01:48:07,600 --> 01:48:13,760 Speaker 15: on a global scale with speed, surprise, precision, and overwhelming 1587 01:48:13,840 --> 01:48:19,040 Speaker 15: force when and where our nation requires it. What we've 1588 01:48:19,080 --> 01:48:22,800 Speaker 15: demonstrated over the past several days reflects years of investment 1589 01:48:22,840 --> 01:48:27,559 Speaker 15: in readiness, joint integration, and professionalism of the Joint Force. 1590 01:48:28,800 --> 01:48:33,840 Speaker 15: As major combat operations continue across Sencom, we remain engaged globally. 1591 01:48:34,280 --> 01:48:39,960 Speaker 15: America's Joint Force retains the credibility, capacity, and flexibility to 1592 01:48:40,080 --> 01:48:45,160 Speaker 15: respond to any contingency anywhere in the world at any time. 1593 01:48:46,000 --> 01:48:49,519 Speaker 15: To those who would test our resolve or threaten the 1594 01:48:49,640 --> 01:48:56,240 Speaker 15: United States, our allies, or our interests, understand clearly, we 1595 01:48:56,280 --> 01:48:59,760 Speaker 15: can reach you, We can sustain the fight, and we 1596 01:48:59,800 --> 01:49:03,720 Speaker 15: can and scale the fight, and we will prevail. To 1597 01:49:03,760 --> 01:49:10,479 Speaker 15: the American people, your Joint Force remains steady, frosty, calm 1598 01:49:10,800 --> 01:49:16,960 Speaker 15: and focused. Your service members are trained, disciplined, and determined. 1599 01:49:17,640 --> 01:49:21,040 Speaker 15: We understand the risks of this mission and the weight 1600 01:49:21,479 --> 01:49:26,599 Speaker 15: of the responsibility that we carry. We also recognize that 1601 01:49:26,680 --> 01:49:31,240 Speaker 15: our families also shoulder the burden at home. You are 1602 01:49:31,280 --> 01:49:35,280 Speaker 15: a part of this too. I am proud today, as 1603 01:49:35,320 --> 01:49:38,160 Speaker 15: I am every day to stand as a member of 1604 01:49:38,200 --> 01:49:42,760 Speaker 15: America's Joint Force. There is no mission too complex, no 1605 01:49:42,880 --> 01:49:47,160 Speaker 15: distance too great, and no adversary too determined. For the 1606 01:49:47,200 --> 01:49:51,639 Speaker 15: men and women who wear our nation's uniform, we mourn 1607 01:49:51,680 --> 01:49:55,920 Speaker 15: are fallen, we honor their families, and we continue our 1608 01:49:55,960 --> 01:49:58,960 Speaker 15: mission with focus, unity and strength. 1609 01:50:00,479 --> 01:50:05,200 Speaker 1: We come back, we'll talk about how we destabilized Iran's economy. 1610 01:50:06,200 --> 01:50:07,960 Speaker 1: You know, one of the most rewarding parts of sharing 1611 01:50:08,000 --> 01:50:11,839 Speaker 1: Relief Factor with you is hearing real stories like Sandra's. 1612 01:50:12,080 --> 01:50:14,200 Speaker 1: She tells us, I've been hearing about Relief Factor on 1613 01:50:14,240 --> 01:50:16,679 Speaker 1: the radio for a couple of years, and I finally 1614 01:50:16,720 --> 01:50:19,679 Speaker 1: decided to try because nothing else was helping with my back. 1615 01:50:21,560 --> 01:50:23,640 Speaker 1: With the three week quick start, I went for it. 1616 01:50:23,720 --> 01:50:27,240 Speaker 1: Now I feel like a new person. These are Sandra's 1617 01:50:27,280 --> 01:50:30,400 Speaker 1: own words, and it's so gratifying to hear I've told 1618 01:50:30,439 --> 01:50:32,439 Speaker 1: you about Kirk having difficulty going up and down the 1619 01:50:32,439 --> 01:50:35,240 Speaker 1: stairs in the morning. He finally started listening to me, 1620 01:50:35,800 --> 01:50:38,960 Speaker 1: began taking relief. After around seven days, he calls, this 1621 01:50:39,600 --> 01:50:43,519 Speaker 1: is working. Try it for yourself. Three week quick start 1622 01:50:43,960 --> 01:50:47,120 Speaker 1: nineteen dollars and ninety five cents, less than a dollar 1623 01:50:47,160 --> 01:50:49,360 Speaker 1: a day.

We are Sale and Blues Channel. 1629 01:51:16,720 --> 01:51:20,960 Speaker 1: Man born in Senegal shot and killed two people and 1630 01:51:21,000 --> 01:51:24,920 Speaker 1: wounded fourteen in a bar in Austin, Texas, on Sunday, 1631 01:51:25,120 --> 01:51:30,400 Speaker 1: hours after the announcement of Operation Epic Fury. Unclear whether 1632 01:51:30,439 --> 01:51:34,080 Speaker 1: he was motivated by it, but he is. He had 1633 01:51:34,080 --> 01:51:43,719 Speaker 1: a Quran in his car, and apparently he had a 1634 01:51:43,760 --> 01:51:51,080 Speaker 1: hoodie that made a reference to Allah. He was killed himself. 1635 01:51:51,880 --> 01:51:55,040 Speaker 1: Came here in two thousand under tourist visa, got a 1636 01:51:55,040 --> 01:51:58,160 Speaker 1: green car in two thousand and six, was naturalized in 1637 01:51:58,200 --> 01:52:01,879 Speaker 1: twenty thirteen. Some time in New York. We're going to Texas. 1638 01:52:03,600 --> 01:52:07,679 Speaker 1: The Treasury Secretary Scott Bessett in January at the World 1639 01:52:07,680 --> 01:52:10,720 Speaker 1: Economic Forum, talked about what we were doing to destabilize 1640 01:52:10,720 --> 01:52:15,080 Speaker 1: Iraan's economy Number twenty. 1641 01:52:15,400 --> 01:52:17,439 Speaker 17: What do you want to say about sanctions something else 1642 01:52:17,479 --> 01:52:20,679 Speaker 17: you've been working on?
