Right 2 00:00:01,560 --> 00:00:05,680 Speaker 1: down are toll free telephone number if you want to 3 00:00:05,720 --> 00:00:09,160 Speaker 1: be a part of the program. We have so much 4 00:00:09,200 --> 00:00:12,720 Speaker 1: news to get to, so much liberal hypocrisy to get to. 5 00:00:13,520 --> 00:00:17,040 Speaker 1: We're also going to play my interview with the Prime 6 00:00:17,079 --> 00:00:22,480 Speaker 1: Minister of Israel Benjamin et and Yahoo Steve Widkoff, the 7 00:00:22,520 --> 00:00:25,439 Speaker 1: Mid East envoy who was up to his eyeballs and 8 00:00:25,480 --> 00:00:31,240 Speaker 1: negotiations with the Iranians. They they they it is spectacular 9 00:00:31,480 --> 00:00:34,880 Speaker 1: in terms of what they didn't learn after Operation mid 10 00:00:34,960 --> 00:00:38,920 Speaker 1: nine Hammer. I can't I can't believe they're that dumb, 11 00:00:39,520 --> 00:00:44,080 Speaker 1: but they really were that dumb, that arrogant, though, that radical, 12 00:00:44,200 --> 00:00:48,960 Speaker 1: that insane. I got to tell you that with all 13 00:00:49,000 --> 00:00:53,920 Speaker 1: that we've discussed in terms of the military might, the weaponry, 14 00:00:53,960 --> 00:00:58,520 Speaker 1: the sophistication of our weaponry, with all that we've had 15 00:00:59,240 --> 00:01:02,560 Speaker 1: in terms of intelligence, I mean, we can go through 16 00:01:02,680 --> 00:01:06,680 Speaker 1: incidents incident after incident, and the fact that after Operation 17 00:01:06,840 --> 00:01:12,119 Speaker 1: Midnight Hammer, the the insane, you know, twisted, bizarre as 18 00:01:12,200 --> 00:01:18,800 Speaker 1: Loamo radical Islamo fascist regime just demanded that they still 19 00:01:18,800 --> 00:01:21,720 Speaker 1: have the right to enrich uranium. Steve Wikoff when we 20 00:01:21,720 --> 00:01:27,360 Speaker 1: played this later, he offered them the ability to have 21 00:01:28,080 --> 00:01:31,760 Speaker 1: you know, low enriched uranium, not weapons grade, not even 22 00:01:31,760 --> 00:01:34,640 Speaker 1: the ability to have weapons grade, and and no enrichment 23 00:01:34,680 --> 00:01:38,560 Speaker 1: facilities in Iran for civilian purposes. They offered it to 24 00:01:38,600 --> 00:01:42,240 Speaker 1: them for free, in perpetuity, and they still walked away 25 00:01:42,240 --> 00:01:45,959 Speaker 1: from that. Now, so when the first thirty seconds of 26 00:01:46,000 --> 00:01:50,120 Speaker 1: this conflict start, they took out I think it was 27 00:01:50,200 --> 00:01:56,720 Speaker 1: American CIA intelligence and the Israelis took out the entire leadership. 28 00:01:57,520 --> 00:02:00,520 Speaker 1: Believe it or not, we actually have laws that prevent 29 00:02:00,600 --> 00:02:03,600 Speaker 1: us from targeting leadership and conflict in war, which is 30 00:02:03,640 --> 00:02:08,320 Speaker 1: insane because that means civilian targets are they're fine, but 31 00:02:08,400 --> 00:02:11,720 Speaker 1: you can't have you can't choose the leaders that are 32 00:02:11,720 --> 00:02:14,640 Speaker 1: causing all the problems. So we took out It turns 33 00:02:14,639 --> 00:02:18,400 Speaker 1: out it wasn't forty, it wasn't just Ali Hamani and 34 00:02:18,880 --> 00:02:22,560 Speaker 1: Ahman Denijad and all the other leaders, but we had 35 00:02:22,560 --> 00:02:25,639 Speaker 1: this window of opportunity. My understanding is is that that 36 00:02:25,680 --> 00:02:29,400 Speaker 1: window came up. They had been tracking Ali Hamanid for 37 00:02:29,480 --> 00:02:32,960 Speaker 1: a long time, for weeks, just like they tracked Solamani, 38 00:02:33,720 --> 00:02:40,560 Speaker 1: and in just with incredible intelligence, incredible military precision, we 39 00:02:40,560 --> 00:02:43,760 Speaker 1: were able to track this guy and all of these 40 00:02:43,880 --> 00:02:47,320 Speaker 1: people were meeting, probably a war council. This is where 41 00:02:47,400 --> 00:02:50,000 Speaker 1: Marco Ruby was saying. They had intelligence that said that 42 00:02:50,080 --> 00:02:54,120 Speaker 1: they were likely two pounce on us first, and they 43 00:02:54,120 --> 00:02:56,680 Speaker 1: took them all out. You would think that in and 44 00:02:56,680 --> 00:02:59,200 Speaker 1: of itself is amazing. If you go back and you 45 00:02:59,240 --> 00:03:03,800 Speaker 1: look at fourteen bunker buster bombs, I mean phantom you know, 46 00:03:04,760 --> 00:03:09,760 Speaker 1: phantom jets were seen on an Iranian radar whatever, the 47 00:03:10,000 --> 00:03:13,760 Speaker 1: old sophisticated system. Because the air defense systems were taken 48 00:03:13,800 --> 00:03:15,960 Speaker 1: out by the Israelis. You go back to the Israelis, 49 00:03:16,360 --> 00:03:18,760 Speaker 1: it took out a lot of their missile batteries, They 50 00:03:18,760 --> 00:03:21,600 Speaker 1: took out their air defense system, their ballistic missile batteries, 51 00:03:22,200 --> 00:03:24,960 Speaker 1: and that paved the way for Operation Midnight Hammer, and 52 00:03:25,120 --> 00:03:27,840 Speaker 1: we had full control of the skies like we have 53 00:03:28,040 --> 00:03:32,320 Speaker 1: right now over Iran. And when the President dropped fourteen 54 00:03:32,360 --> 00:03:34,880 Speaker 1: bunker buster bombs again, you would think they would have 55 00:03:34,960 --> 00:03:38,800 Speaker 1: learned a lesson. The first thirty seconds of this conflict 56 00:03:38,880 --> 00:03:43,440 Speaker 1: begin with taking out more than forty senior Iranian leaders. 57 00:03:43,440 --> 00:03:46,840 Speaker 1: The number now is believed to be forty nine, and 58 00:03:47,400 --> 00:03:52,120 Speaker 1: so Israel has now once again along with the United States. 59 00:03:53,760 --> 00:03:57,160 Speaker 1: In this case, these are Israeli forces, because again, this 60 00:03:57,280 --> 00:04:00,840 Speaker 1: is not something legally the United States can do. Law technically, 61 00:04:00,840 --> 00:04:02,840 Speaker 1: I'm not so sure that it holds up in court. 62 00:04:03,360 --> 00:04:10,920 Speaker 1: But anyway, so they meet, the remaining Iranian leaders, you know, meet, 63 00:04:11,080 --> 00:04:15,360 Speaker 1: you know, and the purpose of this Supreme Council meeting. 64 00:04:15,960 --> 00:04:20,559 Speaker 1: They gathered to choose a successor to the late Supreme leader, 65 00:04:20,600 --> 00:04:25,960 Speaker 1: the Ayatola Ali Hamani, and Israel struck while they were 66 00:04:26,080 --> 00:04:30,640 Speaker 1: counting the votes for the appointment of the next Supreme Leader. 67 00:04:31,440 --> 00:04:34,039 Speaker 1: So in other words, you had the first tier of 68 00:04:34,120 --> 00:04:37,800 Speaker 1: leadership wiped out in the first thirty seconds. Then they 69 00:04:37,880 --> 00:04:41,000 Speaker 1: meet to pick a new leader. And this again just 70 00:04:41,080 --> 00:04:44,359 Speaker 1: happened in the last you know, twelve fourteen hours whenever 71 00:04:44,400 --> 00:04:50,640 Speaker 1: it was. These strike underscores just the absolute depth of 72 00:04:51,000 --> 00:04:56,880 Speaker 1: Israeli an American intelligence and military precision. But you know, 73 00:04:56,960 --> 00:05:02,680 Speaker 1: the penetration inside Tehran one of the most dramatic military 74 00:05:02,760 --> 00:05:06,479 Speaker 1: efforts in the history of warfare. And you can add 75 00:05:06,520 --> 00:05:08,880 Speaker 1: to that some of the things that the Israelis, for example, 76 00:05:08,920 --> 00:05:12,560 Speaker 1: did when they did the pager incident with with hisba 77 00:05:12,680 --> 00:05:17,039 Speaker 1: Llah and everybody's pagers. They knew you know, a couple 78 00:05:17,320 --> 00:05:19,919 Speaker 1: if I remember, hundreds of not thousands of people that 79 00:05:19,960 --> 00:05:23,360 Speaker 1: had pagers. They knew everyone's number, and they set them 80 00:05:23,360 --> 00:05:27,280 Speaker 1: off at the same time, and I think they just 81 00:05:27,400 --> 00:05:29,719 Speaker 1: like began to melt or whatever or whatever they did 82 00:05:29,720 --> 00:05:33,440 Speaker 1: at that time. If you think of the last operation, 83 00:05:33,560 --> 00:05:36,360 Speaker 1: going back to last June, when they took out Iranian 84 00:05:36,440 --> 00:05:38,960 Speaker 1: nuclear scientists, the fact that they knew where they were, 85 00:05:39,040 --> 00:05:43,919 Speaker 1: which was pretty incredible, again setting the path for America 86 00:05:44,000 --> 00:05:46,320 Speaker 1: to come in with weapons that Israel doesn't have, and 87 00:05:46,360 --> 00:05:50,279 Speaker 1: those are the bunker buster bombs. It had originally been 88 00:05:50,320 --> 00:05:57,240 Speaker 1: believed that you needed two maybe three four max to 89 00:05:57,320 --> 00:05:59,240 Speaker 1: take out the Ford Doux plant and all the other 90 00:05:59,320 --> 00:06:03,200 Speaker 1: nuclear sites that had been buried deep inside the ground 91 00:06:03,240 --> 00:06:07,200 Speaker 1: within Iran, and it just was an amazing feat and 92 00:06:07,240 --> 00:06:11,960 Speaker 1: obliterating their nuclear program. But you have more than forty 93 00:06:12,000 --> 00:06:16,960 Speaker 1: of Iran's most senior leaders in the beginning have been 94 00:06:17,080 --> 00:06:20,960 Speaker 1: killed since the operation. It's estimated forty nine eliminated in 95 00:06:21,040 --> 00:06:24,720 Speaker 1: that first thirty seconds of Operation Epic Fury early Saturday, 96 00:06:25,440 --> 00:06:29,039 Speaker 1: fracturing the regime's command structure, dealing a crippling blow to 97 00:06:29,080 --> 00:06:34,679 Speaker 1: their military leadership. So now they're in the process where 98 00:06:34,720 --> 00:06:39,000 Speaker 1: these clerics now gather to select Iran's new Supreme Leader. 99 00:06:39,680 --> 00:06:42,480 Speaker 1: And it's unclear how many regime officials from the so 100 00:06:42,560 --> 00:06:45,839 Speaker 1: called Assembly of Experts were gathered in the building, but 101 00:06:45,960 --> 00:06:48,839 Speaker 1: again it's believed to be over forty. And the body 102 00:06:48,880 --> 00:06:54,359 Speaker 1: includes how many or how many A confident who serves 103 00:06:54,440 --> 00:06:58,279 Speaker 1: as Iran's interim Leadership Council. You want to be the 104 00:06:58,279 --> 00:07:01,760 Speaker 1: next leader of Iran? This is probably your future anyway. 105 00:07:01,839 --> 00:07:06,160 Speaker 1: Israeli forces with that intelligence flattened the building where Iran's 106 00:07:06,200 --> 00:07:09,480 Speaker 1: eighty eight member Assembly of Experts had gathered to select 107 00:07:09,800 --> 00:07:13,320 Speaker 1: the regime's next Supreme leader. Linda, would you like to 108 00:07:13,320 --> 00:07:15,680 Speaker 1: be the next Supreme leader of Iran? Will be glad 109 00:07:15,680 --> 00:07:17,680 Speaker 1: to send you there. I'll give you a free one 110 00:07:17,720 --> 00:07:20,640 Speaker 1: way ticket to Iran and you can go to the 111 00:07:20,720 --> 00:07:22,840 Speaker 1: next meeting. I don't think you're going to make it 112 00:07:22,840 --> 00:07:24,400 Speaker 1: out of there, of course, I would never want that 113 00:07:24,480 --> 00:07:27,840 Speaker 1: to happen to you. But you know, I'm kidding, but 114 00:07:28,000 --> 00:07:31,720 Speaker 1: this is spectacular, this is historic. 115 00:07:31,960 --> 00:07:32,080 Speaker 2: This. 116 00:07:32,720 --> 00:07:35,600 Speaker 1: You know, I've talked a lot about the next generation 117 00:07:35,720 --> 00:07:38,280 Speaker 1: of weaponry, and you know, at one point there were 118 00:07:38,320 --> 00:07:41,600 Speaker 1: people that were kind of mocking me and saying to me, 119 00:07:41,840 --> 00:07:43,960 Speaker 1: you don't know what you're talking about. I'm like yes, 120 00:07:44,000 --> 00:07:47,160 Speaker 1: I do, because I know many people that work in 121 00:07:47,200 --> 00:07:51,040 Speaker 1: the weapons industry. I know many people in our defense department. 122 00:07:51,520 --> 00:07:56,360 Speaker 1: I talk to any everybody, every place, everywhere, and you know, 123 00:07:56,520 --> 00:07:59,640 Speaker 1: future warfare is no longer going to be fought on 124 00:07:59,640 --> 00:08:02,960 Speaker 1: a bout. I mean, there are still idiots out there 125 00:08:03,000 --> 00:08:05,400 Speaker 1: that actually think Donald Trump is going to put boots 126 00:08:05,440 --> 00:08:05,920 Speaker 1: on the ground. 127 00:08:05,920 --> 00:08:06,280 Speaker 2: He's not. 128 00:08:07,120 --> 00:08:10,160 Speaker 1: Now they've left open the door the possibility if there 129 00:08:10,240 --> 00:08:14,040 Speaker 1: is a remote situation that might need a strategic placement, 130 00:08:14,640 --> 00:08:17,600 Speaker 1: that door is definitely open. But we're not going to 131 00:08:17,680 --> 00:08:23,120 Speaker 1: have our national treasure stepping over IEDs without up armored 132 00:08:23,160 --> 00:08:26,360 Speaker 1: humb's like Iraq and Afghanistan and have a forever war. 133 00:08:26,480 --> 00:08:28,400 Speaker 1: This won't be That is not part of the Trump 134 00:08:28,520 --> 00:08:32,920 Speaker 1: doctrine anyway. The Assembly of Experts is elected by the 135 00:08:32,960 --> 00:08:36,079 Speaker 1: Iranian people every eight years and consists of a leadership 136 00:08:36,120 --> 00:08:39,760 Speaker 1: board of six committees. It is presided over just one 137 00:08:39,840 --> 00:08:45,400 Speaker 1: leadership transition since nineteen eighty nine, when Ali Hamani was 138 00:08:45,520 --> 00:08:49,040 Speaker 1: elevated to the position of the Supreme Leader. Remember the 139 00:08:49,520 --> 00:08:52,760 Speaker 1: revolution took place ten years earlier in seventy nine. He's 140 00:08:52,760 --> 00:08:56,160 Speaker 1: been in charge ever since, and it's current chair, ninety 141 00:08:56,160 --> 00:09:02,840 Speaker 1: four year old Ayatola Mohammad Ali Kaman, alongside his two 142 00:09:03,000 --> 00:09:07,880 Speaker 1: deputy chairmen again Mayatolas, the ladder of which one of 143 00:09:07,920 --> 00:09:11,240 Speaker 1: which sits on the Interim Leadership Council formed in the 144 00:09:11,280 --> 00:09:15,040 Speaker 1: wake of Hamani's death. But this guy was seen as 145 00:09:15,040 --> 00:09:19,040 Speaker 1: a hardliner who used his position, so all their leadership 146 00:09:19,240 --> 00:09:24,120 Speaker 1: and their secondary secondary leadership now is wiped out. Over 147 00:09:24,200 --> 00:09:28,560 Speaker 1: one thousand Iranian combatants have been killed in joint US 148 00:09:28,640 --> 00:09:32,640 Speaker 1: military operations so far. They have now run close to 149 00:09:32,960 --> 00:09:39,360 Speaker 1: two thousand successful you know, targeted precision, targeted operations that 150 00:09:39,440 --> 00:09:44,240 Speaker 1: have all been effective, and the Iranian American you know, 151 00:09:44,320 --> 00:09:47,480 Speaker 1: says a strike could mark the very this is now 152 00:09:47,520 --> 00:09:49,160 Speaker 1: the end of the regime. Now, we got to go 153 00:09:49,240 --> 00:09:51,880 Speaker 1: back and look what Donald Trump has been saying and 154 00:09:51,920 --> 00:09:54,120 Speaker 1: telling us, And if you just pay a little bit 155 00:09:54,120 --> 00:09:57,440 Speaker 1: of attention to what he's saying, it's pretty interesting. You know, 156 00:09:57,600 --> 00:10:00,559 Speaker 1: last year ARAM was threatening to attack mar A Lago 157 00:10:00,640 --> 00:10:05,080 Speaker 1: you might recall with with bomb carrying drones and you know, 158 00:10:05,120 --> 00:10:08,199 Speaker 1: these maniacs put one hundred million dollar bounty on Donald 159 00:10:08,240 --> 00:10:10,760 Speaker 1: Trump's head and Iranian official said, Donald Trump, this is 160 00:10:10,840 --> 00:10:14,080 Speaker 1: July of twenty five, could face a drone attack while 161 00:10:14,160 --> 00:10:17,040 Speaker 1: sunbathing at his Florida mansion. Well, I know Donald Trump, 162 00:10:17,080 --> 00:10:20,760 Speaker 1: he doesn't sunbathe. He plays golf. That's about it. He's 163 00:10:20,800 --> 00:10:23,840 Speaker 1: done something that he can no longer. Somebathe at Mara 164 00:10:23,880 --> 00:10:26,719 Speaker 1: a Lago. He never I guarantee you Donald Trump never 165 00:10:26,760 --> 00:10:30,160 Speaker 1: did a sun when some bathing in his life. Now 166 00:10:30,240 --> 00:10:35,240 Speaker 1: Trump issues an Iran airstrike warning. He's actually saying this 167 00:10:35,360 --> 00:10:38,400 Speaker 1: is nothing up to this point. He says the big 168 00:10:38,440 --> 00:10:41,600 Speaker 1: one is coming, and he about to step up strikes 169 00:10:41,600 --> 00:10:44,040 Speaker 1: on Iran, saying the big one is coming. He did 170 00:10:44,040 --> 00:10:49,559 Speaker 1: this on Monday, did this yesterday. Some other interesting things 171 00:10:49,559 --> 00:10:51,800 Speaker 1: that have evolved. I want to go back eleven years 172 00:10:51,880 --> 00:10:55,360 Speaker 1: in time and I want to play then Senator Mark 173 00:10:55,440 --> 00:10:58,880 Speaker 1: or Rubio now the Secretary of State and listen to 174 00:10:59,080 --> 00:11:01,640 Speaker 1: how smart Marco Rubio is. 175 00:11:03,000 --> 00:11:04,600 Speaker 3: I think everything that needs to be said about the 176 00:11:04,600 --> 00:11:06,560 Speaker 3: details of this deal have already been said. 177 00:11:07,000 --> 00:11:07,719 Speaker 2: I do want to be. 178 00:11:07,679 --> 00:11:11,160 Speaker 3: Recorded for history's purposes before I know what was going 179 00:11:11,200 --> 00:11:11,760 Speaker 3: to happen. 180 00:11:11,559 --> 00:11:12,240 Speaker 2: In regards to this. 181 00:11:12,360 --> 00:11:15,760 Speaker 3: If it goes through, Iran will immediately use the money 182 00:11:15,800 --> 00:11:18,280 Speaker 3: that it's receiving in sanctions relief to begin to build. 183 00:11:18,120 --> 00:11:19,679 Speaker 2: Up its conventional capabilities. 184 00:11:20,080 --> 00:11:22,640 Speaker 3: It will establish the most dominant military power in the 185 00:11:22,679 --> 00:11:24,800 Speaker 3: region outside of the United States, and it will raise 186 00:11:24,800 --> 00:11:26,160 Speaker 3: the price of US. 187 00:11:26,000 --> 00:11:27,040 Speaker 2: Operating in the region. 188 00:11:27,520 --> 00:11:30,680 Speaker 3: They're going to build anti access capabilities, rockets capable of 189 00:11:30,720 --> 00:11:34,320 Speaker 3: destroying our aircraft carriers and ships. Continue to build these 190 00:11:34,320 --> 00:11:36,199 Speaker 3: swift boats that are able to come on us, these 191 00:11:36,240 --> 00:11:39,319 Speaker 3: fast boats that are able to swarm our naval assets, 192 00:11:39,600 --> 00:11:41,440 Speaker 3: and they'll make it harder and harder for US. 193 00:11:41,360 --> 00:11:43,839 Speaker 2: Troops to be in the region. They'll also work with. 194 00:11:43,800 --> 00:11:46,600 Speaker 3: Other terrorist groups in the region the target American servicemen 195 00:11:46,640 --> 00:11:48,800 Speaker 3: and women, and they may or may not deny that 196 00:11:48,840 --> 00:11:51,160 Speaker 3: they're involved, but they will target us and raise the 197 00:11:51,160 --> 00:11:53,679 Speaker 3: price of our presence in the Middle East until they 198 00:11:53,679 --> 00:11:56,560 Speaker 3: hope to completely pull US out of that region. They'll 199 00:11:56,600 --> 00:11:59,760 Speaker 3: also continue to build long range missiles, missiles capable of 200 00:11:59,760 --> 00:12:01,920 Speaker 3: reach in the United States. Those are not affected by 201 00:12:02,000 --> 00:12:04,440 Speaker 3: this deal, and they'll continue to build them as they've 202 00:12:04,440 --> 00:12:07,160 Speaker 3: been doing. And then at some point in the near future, 203 00:12:07,160 --> 00:12:09,800 Speaker 3: when the time is right, they will build a nuclear weapon. 204 00:12:10,360 --> 00:12:12,240 Speaker 3: And they will do so because at that point they 205 00:12:12,280 --> 00:12:13,559 Speaker 3: will know that they have become. 206 00:12:13,280 --> 00:12:15,679 Speaker 2: Immune, that we will no longer be able. 207 00:12:15,520 --> 00:12:17,920 Speaker 3: To strike their nuclear program because the price of doing 208 00:12:17,960 --> 00:12:21,960 Speaker 3: so will be too high. 209 00:12:22,040 --> 00:12:24,960 Speaker 1: Okay, that was Mark or Rubio by the way, Uh 210 00:12:25,200 --> 00:12:28,439 Speaker 1: Marco Rubio speaking. Now let's go to Capitol Hill. We 211 00:12:28,520 --> 00:12:31,160 Speaker 1: got to jump over here to center Rubio speaking before 212 00:12:31,200 --> 00:12:31,679 Speaker 1: you had been there. 213 00:12:31,679 --> 00:12:32,640 Speaker 2: We'll listen to this real life. 214 00:12:32,840 --> 00:12:35,000 Speaker 3: Nine thousand Americans have been able to leave the region 215 00:12:35,080 --> 00:12:37,320 Speaker 3: since the start of this war. We have about fifteen 216 00:12:37,400 --> 00:12:41,520 Speaker 3: hundred Americans that are requesting assistance with departure. We have 217 00:12:41,640 --> 00:12:45,640 Speaker 3: identified and continue to identify charter flights, military flight options, 218 00:12:45,840 --> 00:12:49,000 Speaker 3: and expanded commercial flight options, meaning working with the airlines 219 00:12:49,000 --> 00:12:51,840 Speaker 3: to send bigger airplanes with more seats and the combination 220 00:12:51,920 --> 00:12:54,840 Speaker 3: of those three things. The impediment we're facing now In 221 00:12:54,840 --> 00:12:56,920 Speaker 3: many cases, we've had a couple instances in which we 222 00:12:56,960 --> 00:12:59,160 Speaker 3: have planes in the air and on the way and 223 00:12:59,240 --> 00:13:01,360 Speaker 3: unfortunately the air space gets closed and they have to 224 00:13:01,360 --> 00:13:02,079 Speaker 3: turn back around. 225 00:13:02,160 --> 00:13:03,640 Speaker 2: So we're working through those challenges. 226 00:13:03,960 --> 00:13:06,160 Speaker 3: Here's the message I want to deliver Americans who are 227 00:13:06,160 --> 00:13:08,360 Speaker 3: in the Middle East and the need of assistance. It 228 00:13:08,440 --> 00:13:10,880 Speaker 3: is very important and I asked this of the networks 229 00:13:10,880 --> 00:13:13,200 Speaker 3: as well. It is important for you to please put 230 00:13:13,240 --> 00:13:15,600 Speaker 3: both the website and the phone numbers on your screens 231 00:13:15,920 --> 00:13:18,160 Speaker 3: because we need people. We need to know where you are. 232 00:13:18,240 --> 00:13:21,480 Speaker 3: We need to have contact information for Americans. 233 00:13:21,040 --> 00:13:21,840 Speaker 2: That need assistance. 234 00:13:22,120 --> 00:13:24,720 Speaker 3: They have to register with us because as these options 235 00:13:24,760 --> 00:13:26,719 Speaker 3: begin to open up, and as they open up, we 236 00:13:26,800 --> 00:13:28,040 Speaker 3: have to be able to call you, We have to 237 00:13:28,080 --> 00:13:29,360 Speaker 3: be able to reach you, we have to be able 238 00:13:29,400 --> 00:13:32,280 Speaker 3: to know where you're staying so we can get this information. 239 00:13:31,920 --> 00:13:33,400 Speaker 2: To you and coordinate appropriately. 240 00:13:33,600 --> 00:13:36,880 Speaker 3: And it'll be a variety of methods charter flights, military 241 00:13:36,920 --> 00:13:40,800 Speaker 3: flights and transports, expanded commercial opportunities, and in some cases 242 00:13:40,880 --> 00:13:43,240 Speaker 3: land routes that will allow them to go to neighboring 243 00:13:43,280 --> 00:13:46,439 Speaker 3: countries who might have open airports at that point. So 244 00:13:46,480 --> 00:13:48,120 Speaker 3: it's a lot of different things here that need to 245 00:13:48,120 --> 00:13:50,160 Speaker 3: happen in order to move people. But it all starts 246 00:13:50,200 --> 00:13:52,679 Speaker 3: by knowing that you're there. It all starts by knowing 247 00:13:52,720 --> 00:13:55,320 Speaker 3: that where you are and how we can get a 248 00:13:55,320 --> 00:13:57,400 Speaker 3: hold of you. So I'm asking the networks and all 249 00:13:57,440 --> 00:14:01,080 Speaker 3: of the media outlets please publicize the two phone numbers 250 00:14:01,080 --> 00:14:03,360 Speaker 3: that we've put out as well as the website so 251 00:14:03,400 --> 00:14:05,280 Speaker 3: people can contact us and register. 252 00:14:05,760 --> 00:14:07,960 Speaker 2: We've had, you know, thousands of people call already. 253 00:14:08,200 --> 00:14:11,000 Speaker 3: As I said, we've identified fifteen almost sixteen hundred that 254 00:14:11,040 --> 00:14:13,880 Speaker 3: are requesting assistance with departure, but we need you to 255 00:14:13,920 --> 00:14:17,000 Speaker 3: please be able to identify that. As I came in, 256 00:14:17,040 --> 00:14:20,680 Speaker 3: I also saw the media reports about Dubai's consulate. The 257 00:14:21,120 --> 00:14:23,840 Speaker 3: last update I had with seconds before getting before these 258 00:14:23,840 --> 00:14:27,280 Speaker 3: cameras was that a drone unfortunately struck a parking lot 259 00:14:27,560 --> 00:14:31,440 Speaker 3: adjacent to the chancellery building and then set off a 260 00:14:31,480 --> 00:14:34,080 Speaker 3: fire in that place. All personnel are accounted for, as 261 00:14:34,120 --> 00:14:37,640 Speaker 3: you're aware, we began drawing down personnel from our diplomatic 262 00:14:37,680 --> 00:14:41,360 Speaker 3: facilities in advance of this and the cases for example 263 00:14:41,360 --> 00:14:45,280 Speaker 3: of Beirut, we basically drew down to a bare bones 264 00:14:46,120 --> 00:14:49,000 Speaker 3: as well as in as in Baghdad, and in our 265 00:14:49,080 --> 00:14:51,840 Speaker 3: bill and in a couple other posts as well. So 266 00:14:52,800 --> 00:14:55,160 Speaker 3: we've been very fortunate, obviously, but our embassies and our 267 00:14:55,160 --> 00:14:58,800 Speaker 3: diplomatic facilities are under direct attack from a terroristic regime. 268 00:14:59,640 --> 00:15:01,320 Speaker 3: With an update, I obviously were free. 269 00:15:02,040 --> 00:15:05,840 Speaker 1: All right that Senator Marco Rubio asking the media for 270 00:15:05,920 --> 00:15:09,200 Speaker 1: their assistance to get information to people that may be 271 00:15:09,320 --> 00:15:12,000 Speaker 1: in trouble in the region. We will pass more of 272 00:15:12,000 --> 00:15:15,040 Speaker 1: that onto you as the day on folds. All Right, 273 00:15:15,040 --> 00:15:16,840 Speaker 1: we got to take a quick break. We'll come back. 274 00:15:16,840 --> 00:15:20,360 Speaker 1: We'll play my interview with the Middle East down voice 275 00:15:20,440 --> 00:15:23,920 Speaker 1: Steve Wikoff who sat across from the Iranians and negotiations 276 00:15:23,960 --> 00:15:26,160 Speaker 1: as they sat there and demanded the right to build 277 00:15:26,240 --> 00:15:29,920 Speaker 1: nuclear weapons, especially after midnight hammer, How to tumare they? 278 00:15:30,600 --> 00:15:34,040 Speaker 1: And my interview with the Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin the Yahu. 279 00:15:34,080 --> 00:15:36,680 Speaker 1: Straight ahead, All right, let's go back Marco Rubio, so 280 00:15:36,840 --> 00:15:40,920 Speaker 1: good with the media and with Democrats. He's so smart, 281 00:15:41,280 --> 00:15:44,840 Speaker 1: and he's so clever, and he's so calm. It just is, 282 00:15:45,080 --> 00:15:47,840 Speaker 1: and the depth of his knowledge is so beyond impressive. 283 00:15:48,720 --> 00:15:51,040 Speaker 1: Let's go back to this little gaggle before he goes 284 00:15:51,080 --> 00:15:53,920 Speaker 1: in to brief the Gang of eight for. 285 00:15:54,120 --> 00:15:55,000 Speaker 2: The Department of War. 286 00:15:55,040 --> 00:15:57,400 Speaker 3: Suffice it to say that our objectives remain as they've 287 00:15:57,440 --> 00:16:00,160 Speaker 3: been identified from the beginning, and by the President how 288 00:16:00,160 --> 00:16:03,200 Speaker 3: clearly yesterday. Iran can never have a nuclear weapon, and 289 00:16:03,240 --> 00:16:06,400 Speaker 3: we will now not allow iron to hide behind the 290 00:16:06,440 --> 00:16:10,800 Speaker 3: immunity of a massive short term ballistic missile inventory or 291 00:16:10,800 --> 00:16:13,080 Speaker 3: the ability to make them or launch them. And so 292 00:16:13,280 --> 00:16:18,280 Speaker 3: Sentcom and Adjoint Operations is carrying out a systematic destruction 293 00:16:18,800 --> 00:16:22,080 Speaker 3: of their missile belt, destruction of their launchers, and destruction 294 00:16:22,200 --> 00:16:24,400 Speaker 3: of their ability to make these as well as. 295 00:16:24,240 --> 00:16:25,440 Speaker 2: The destruction of their navy. 296 00:16:26,000 --> 00:16:27,840 Speaker 3: From what I've been told by the Department of War, 297 00:16:27,960 --> 00:16:31,280 Speaker 3: everything is on or ahead of schedule and proceeding on 298 00:16:31,320 --> 00:16:33,800 Speaker 3: these objectives. We have every confidence in the world that 299 00:16:33,840 --> 00:16:36,640 Speaker 3: these objectives will be achieved. The last point I would 300 00:16:36,680 --> 00:16:38,680 Speaker 3: make is, and I said this yesterday, and I repeat, 301 00:16:39,000 --> 00:16:41,920 Speaker 3: what's about. You know you're about to see. You know, 302 00:16:41,920 --> 00:16:43,760 Speaker 3: we're going to unleash chang on these people in the 303 00:16:43,760 --> 00:16:46,080 Speaker 3: next few hours and days. You're going to really begin 304 00:16:46,160 --> 00:16:48,360 Speaker 3: to perceive a change in the scope and in the 305 00:16:48,400 --> 00:16:51,640 Speaker 3: intensity of these attacks. As frankly, the two most powerful 306 00:16:51,640 --> 00:16:55,000 Speaker 3: air forces in the world take apart this terroristic regime 307 00:16:55,320 --> 00:16:57,680 Speaker 3: and defang it and take away its ability to threaten 308 00:16:57,720 --> 00:17:00,480 Speaker 3: its neighbors or hide behind a zone of unity that 309 00:17:00,520 --> 00:17:05,440 Speaker 3: allows them to develop their nuclear ambitions. This terroristic, radical, 310 00:17:06,480 --> 00:17:11,640 Speaker 3: clerical led regime cannot be ever allowed to have nuclear weapons. 311 00:17:11,840 --> 00:17:13,399 Speaker 3: We saw what they were willing to do to their 312 00:17:13,440 --> 00:17:15,800 Speaker 3: own people. They were willing to slaughter their own people 313 00:17:16,240 --> 00:17:18,800 Speaker 3: in the streets. Imagine what they would do to us. 314 00:17:19,040 --> 00:17:21,800 Speaker 3: Imagine what they would do to others. Under President Trump, 315 00:17:21,800 --> 00:17:27,159 Speaker 3: that will never ever happen. All right, yes, yes, about Israel, 316 00:17:27,520 --> 00:17:29,000 Speaker 3: Secretary struggle. 317 00:17:29,000 --> 00:17:30,080 Speaker 2: These guys, I can't hear them allus. 318 00:17:30,200 --> 00:17:33,520 Speaker 3: Yes, yesterday you told us that Israel was going to 319 00:17:33,560 --> 00:17:36,600 Speaker 3: strike Iran and that's why we needed to get involved. 320 00:17:36,600 --> 00:17:37,920 Speaker 2: Today the President said. 321 00:17:37,720 --> 00:17:40,600 Speaker 3: That Iran was Again, yeah, your statement is false. So 322 00:17:40,600 --> 00:17:42,280 Speaker 3: that's not what I was asked, very specifical. 323 00:17:42,320 --> 00:17:44,320 Speaker 2: Were you there yesterday? Yes? Okay? No? 324 00:17:44,440 --> 00:17:46,040 Speaker 3: Did you Were you the one that because somebody asked 325 00:17:46,080 --> 00:17:48,280 Speaker 3: me a question answered did we go in because of Israel? 326 00:17:48,280 --> 00:17:50,359 Speaker 3: And I said you were asked me from that follow 327 00:17:50,400 --> 00:17:51,920 Speaker 3: up and I said no, I. 328 00:17:51,840 --> 00:17:53,199 Speaker 2: Told you this had to happen anyway. 329 00:17:53,480 --> 00:17:55,600 Speaker 3: The President made a decision, and the decision he made 330 00:17:55,720 --> 00:17:57,280 Speaker 3: was that Iran was not going to be allowed to 331 00:17:57,359 --> 00:18:00,600 Speaker 3: hide behind its ballistic missile program, was not going to 332 00:18:00,600 --> 00:18:03,480 Speaker 3: be allowed to hide behind its ability to conduct these attacks. 333 00:18:03,760 --> 00:18:04,800 Speaker 2: That decision had been made. 334 00:18:05,000 --> 00:18:08,679 Speaker 3: The President systematically made a decision to systematically destroy this 335 00:18:08,800 --> 00:18:11,600 Speaker 3: terroristic capability that they had, and we carried that out. 336 00:18:11,720 --> 00:18:12,800 Speaker 2: I was very clear on that answer. 337 00:18:12,880 --> 00:18:14,680 Speaker 3: This was a question of timing of why this had 338 00:18:14,680 --> 00:18:17,119 Speaker 3: to happen as a joint operation, not the question of 339 00:18:17,119 --> 00:18:17,600 Speaker 3: the intent. 340 00:18:17,920 --> 00:18:19,000 Speaker 2: Once the President made. 341 00:18:18,840 --> 00:18:21,240 Speaker 3: A decision that negotiations were not going to work, that 342 00:18:21,280 --> 00:18:24,119 Speaker 3: they were playing us on the negotiations, and that this 343 00:18:24,280 --> 00:18:26,560 Speaker 3: was a threat that was untenable. The decision was made 344 00:18:26,600 --> 00:18:28,879 Speaker 3: to strike them. That's what I said yesterday. And you 345 00:18:28,920 --> 00:18:30,360 Speaker 3: guys need to play it, and you're going to play 346 00:18:30,359 --> 00:18:32,080 Speaker 3: these statements. You need to play the whole statement, not 347 00:18:32,160 --> 00:18:34,159 Speaker 3: slip it to reach the narrative that you want to do. 348 00:18:34,200 --> 00:18:38,040 Speaker 3: All right, go ahead, what do you make up the 349 00:18:38,080 --> 00:18:39,200 Speaker 3: War Powers resolution? 350 00:18:39,359 --> 00:18:40,600 Speaker 2: That team consider it. 351 00:18:40,520 --> 00:18:42,400 Speaker 3: Here in part I mean, the Congress votes on those 352 00:18:42,480 --> 00:18:44,640 Speaker 3: they can if they want. There's mechanisms for it. We've 353 00:18:44,640 --> 00:18:46,680 Speaker 3: complied to the War Powers Act, even though we believe 354 00:18:46,680 --> 00:18:48,600 Speaker 3: it's unconstitutional, as has. 355 00:18:48,359 --> 00:18:49,520 Speaker 2: Every other administration. 356 00:18:49,840 --> 00:18:52,399 Speaker 3: Every other president has found the War Powers Act to 357 00:18:52,440 --> 00:18:57,159 Speaker 3: be unconstitutional. Nonetheless, we notified Gang of Eight, which was 358 00:18:57,240 --> 00:19:00,760 Speaker 3: an appropriate mechanism by which to notify Congress. We sent 359 00:19:00,800 --> 00:19:03,480 Speaker 3: the notification within forty eight hours away. The law requires 360 00:19:03,880 --> 00:19:05,840 Speaker 3: I'm here today to have I don't know, my six 361 00:19:05,960 --> 00:19:08,680 Speaker 3: or seventh briefing before the entirety of the House and Senate, 362 00:19:08,680 --> 00:19:11,240 Speaker 3: which is far more than I ever got from any 363 00:19:11,240 --> 00:19:13,159 Speaker 3: administration in the time that I was here, certainly when 364 00:19:13,160 --> 00:19:14,800 Speaker 3: I was a member of the Gang of Eight. And 365 00:19:15,119 --> 00:19:17,399 Speaker 3: so we've complied with all we've over complied with the 366 00:19:17,480 --> 00:19:19,840 Speaker 3: law and what it requires. This is an action by 367 00:19:19,840 --> 00:19:23,200 Speaker 3: the president to address a real threat, a real threat. 368 00:19:23,240 --> 00:19:26,560 Speaker 3: This is hostilities designed to eliminate a threat to the 369 00:19:26,560 --> 00:19:28,560 Speaker 3: safety and the security of the United States and to 370 00:19:28,600 --> 00:19:35,640 Speaker 3: our allfs in place to evacuate Americans before we attacked. 371 00:19:36,040 --> 00:19:37,720 Speaker 2: Well, that's the plan we're trying to carry out. 372 00:19:37,760 --> 00:19:39,720 Speaker 3: The problem is, or the challenge we are facing as 373 00:19:39,760 --> 00:19:43,159 Speaker 3: airspace closures. If a country closes their airport, for example, 374 00:19:43,160 --> 00:19:45,280 Speaker 3: in some cases the airports have been hit, so the. 375 00:19:45,240 --> 00:19:46,960 Speaker 2: Airport and Kate was hit. 376 00:19:47,440 --> 00:19:50,520 Speaker 3: So if an airport's been attacked or the airspace is closed, 377 00:19:50,800 --> 00:19:52,600 Speaker 3: then we can have the planes lined up to go, 378 00:19:52,720 --> 00:19:54,600 Speaker 3: but we can't get them to land because we don't 379 00:19:54,600 --> 00:19:56,200 Speaker 3: have the permissions to land there. 380 00:19:56,320 --> 00:19:57,240 Speaker 2: So that's the challenge. 381 00:19:57,280 --> 00:19:59,639 Speaker 3: But rest assured, we are confident that we are going 382 00:19:59,680 --> 00:20:01,720 Speaker 3: to be able to assist every American. As I told you, 383 00:20:01,800 --> 00:20:04,359 Speaker 3: right now, we have about a little over fifteen hundred, 384 00:20:04,520 --> 00:20:08,280 Speaker 3: maybe closer to sixteen hundred Americans requesting assistance, and we 385 00:20:08,359 --> 00:20:09,160 Speaker 3: know that we're going to. 386 00:20:09,119 --> 00:20:09,960 Speaker 2: Be able to help them. 387 00:20:10,200 --> 00:20:11,800 Speaker 3: It's going to take a little time because we don't 388 00:20:11,800 --> 00:20:14,959 Speaker 3: control the airspace closures. That said, there may be more 389 00:20:14,960 --> 00:20:16,679 Speaker 3: people out there than need help. We need to know 390 00:20:16,720 --> 00:20:19,879 Speaker 3: who you are, so please, I'm asking the media publicize 391 00:20:19,880 --> 00:20:21,800 Speaker 3: the phone numbers in the website because we need people 392 00:20:21,800 --> 00:20:23,560 Speaker 3: to call in. So we have their name, we have 393 00:20:23,640 --> 00:20:26,879 Speaker 3: their contact information, we have their location and their requests, 394 00:20:27,040 --> 00:20:29,239 Speaker 3: so as these opportunities begin to open up, we can 395 00:20:29,280 --> 00:20:31,160 Speaker 3: act very quickly to reach them and get them out 396 00:20:31,160 --> 00:20:31,720 Speaker 3: of harmless way. 397 00:20:32,880 --> 00:20:36,919 Speaker 2: I want to just clarify what you Saidify, because clarify, 398 00:20:38,119 --> 00:20:39,320 Speaker 2: but you have to read if you're going to read the. 399 00:20:39,320 --> 00:20:41,360 Speaker 3: Whole state your quote is about, we knew that there 400 00:20:41,400 --> 00:20:43,159 Speaker 3: was going to be an Israeli action, We knew that 401 00:20:43,160 --> 00:20:44,680 Speaker 3: would precipity in tech. 402 00:20:44,760 --> 00:20:45,600 Speaker 2: Yeah, no, I understand. 403 00:20:45,600 --> 00:20:47,359 Speaker 3: But listeners said, all right, we got let me understand 404 00:20:47,359 --> 00:20:49,680 Speaker 3: that I would, but I had a very specific question 405 00:20:49,720 --> 00:20:50,640 Speaker 3: from that gentleman. 406 00:20:50,400 --> 00:20:53,200 Speaker 2: Right, president said, The President said, well, down on a second, 407 00:20:53,240 --> 00:20:55,040 Speaker 2: I asked the Air Force Israeli. Okay, but let me 408 00:20:55,040 --> 00:20:58,800 Speaker 2: answer because this is my press conference. Okay, you asked me. 409 00:20:59,000 --> 00:21:00,360 Speaker 2: I was asked very specific question. 410 00:21:00,480 --> 00:21:02,520 Speaker 3: So you guys can be misrepresentative, but I was asked 411 00:21:02,560 --> 00:21:05,440 Speaker 3: a very specific question yesterday. The bottom line is this, we, 412 00:21:05,600 --> 00:21:07,520 Speaker 3: the President determined we were not going to get hit first. 413 00:21:07,560 --> 00:21:09,480 Speaker 3: It's that simple, guys. We are not going to put 414 00:21:09,480 --> 00:21:11,840 Speaker 3: Americans troops in harms way. If you tell the President 415 00:21:11,840 --> 00:21:13,879 Speaker 3: of the United States that if we don't go first, 416 00:21:14,040 --> 00:21:16,240 Speaker 3: we're going to have more people killed and more people injured, 417 00:21:16,320 --> 00:21:17,360 Speaker 3: the President's. 418 00:21:16,920 --> 00:21:18,800 Speaker 2: Going to go first. That's what he did. That's what 419 00:21:18,800 --> 00:21:19,919 Speaker 2: the President will always do. 420 00:21:20,160 --> 00:21:22,199 Speaker 3: He will always put the safety and security or a 421 00:21:22,240 --> 00:21:24,480 Speaker 3: men and women in uniform and of all Americans before 422 00:21:24,520 --> 00:21:26,840 Speaker 3: anything else. He's always going to do that, and that's 423 00:21:26,840 --> 00:21:29,120 Speaker 3: what he did here. In addition to that, I would 424 00:21:29,200 --> 00:21:32,240 Speaker 3: argue that this threat from Iran, they are hiding behind 425 00:21:32,240 --> 00:21:34,320 Speaker 3: these missiles and hiding behind these drones. 426 00:21:34,480 --> 00:21:35,920 Speaker 2: They wanted to reach a point where. 427 00:21:35,720 --> 00:21:37,320 Speaker 3: You couldn't touch them and then they could do whatever 428 00:21:37,359 --> 00:21:39,439 Speaker 3: the hell they wanted with their nuclear program. And there 429 00:21:39,520 --> 00:21:42,360 Speaker 3: was no way in the world that this terroristic regime 430 00:21:42,720 --> 00:21:45,280 Speaker 3: was going to get nuclear weapons, not under Donald Trump's. 431 00:21:44,920 --> 00:21:48,159 Speaker 2: Want me to do it. 432 00:21:48,560 --> 00:21:51,280 Speaker 3: In this operation, there's a general question of why the 433 00:21:51,280 --> 00:21:53,440 Speaker 3: President gave the green light, and then there's a question. 434 00:21:53,240 --> 00:21:55,400 Speaker 2: Of why did it have to happen this weekend? 435 00:21:55,440 --> 00:21:58,040 Speaker 3: Are you saying it had to happen this weekend because 436 00:21:58,080 --> 00:22:00,600 Speaker 3: of that Israeli act no this week and presented a 437 00:22:00,640 --> 00:22:03,679 Speaker 3: unique opportunity to take joint action against this threat. And 438 00:22:03,720 --> 00:22:06,320 Speaker 3: I've just found we wanted this to have maximum success. 439 00:22:06,600 --> 00:22:09,639 Speaker 3: We want this operation to be successful at achieving its objectives. 440 00:22:09,840 --> 00:22:12,680 Speaker 3: I'll repeat the objectives the President laid them out yesterday. 441 00:22:12,800 --> 00:22:15,679 Speaker 3: Iron cannot have a nuclear weapon. It cannot have and 442 00:22:15,720 --> 00:22:17,960 Speaker 3: therefore it cannot have the things that was hiding behind 443 00:22:18,000 --> 00:22:19,359 Speaker 3: to have a nuclear weapons program. 444 00:22:19,440 --> 00:22:21,320 Speaker 2: What are those things? Number One, we. 445 00:22:21,240 --> 00:22:23,840 Speaker 3: Are going to destroy their missiles and their missile launchers. 446 00:22:24,040 --> 00:22:26,840 Speaker 3: We are going to destroy their capability to make these 447 00:22:26,920 --> 00:22:28,880 Speaker 3: missiles in these launchers, and we are going to. 448 00:22:28,840 --> 00:22:31,040 Speaker 2: Destroy their navy. Those are the objectives. 449 00:22:31,160 --> 00:22:33,399 Speaker 3: And this weekend, acting at this time gave us the 450 00:22:33,480 --> 00:22:36,920 Speaker 3: highest probability of success and achieving those objectives. And as 451 00:22:36,960 --> 00:22:39,080 Speaker 3: the Department of War will brief you, we are on 452 00:22:39,240 --> 00:22:41,480 Speaker 3: or ahead of schedules to do that. The US attack 453 00:22:41,480 --> 00:22:43,880 Speaker 3: would have happened, no matter what the US attack about, 454 00:22:43,960 --> 00:22:47,159 Speaker 3: no matter what is Israel's planning to do, was going 455 00:22:47,200 --> 00:22:49,479 Speaker 3: to act with the President had already made a decision 456 00:22:49,520 --> 00:22:52,560 Speaker 3: to act on the timing. Now the President acted on 457 00:22:52,600 --> 00:22:55,119 Speaker 3: the timing that gave us the highest chance of success. 458 00:22:55,320 --> 00:22:57,439 Speaker 2: And that's what you're seeing play out right now. You're 459 00:22:57,480 --> 00:22:59,280 Speaker 2: seeing it player, and you'll see it in the days 460 00:22:59,280 --> 00:22:59,680 Speaker 2: to come. 461 00:23:00,040 --> 00:23:02,960 Speaker 3: We will systematically take apart the missile program. We will 462 00:23:02,960 --> 00:23:05,480 Speaker 3: destroy their ability to sponsor terrorism by the way, we 463 00:23:05,520 --> 00:23:08,440 Speaker 3: will destroy their factories, we will destroy their navy. Those 464 00:23:08,480 --> 00:23:10,479 Speaker 3: objectives are going to be met. We're well on our 465 00:23:10,520 --> 00:23:12,399 Speaker 3: way to meeting them. They will not be easy. There 466 00:23:12,400 --> 00:23:14,320 Speaker 3: will be a price to pay for it, but that 467 00:23:14,440 --> 00:23:16,520 Speaker 3: is a much lower price to pay than having a 468 00:23:16,600 --> 00:23:17,560 Speaker 3: nuclear arm to run. 469 00:23:17,600 --> 00:23:19,000 Speaker 2: I gotta go through these guys. 470 00:23:20,119 --> 00:23:25,560 Speaker 1: I mean, just spectacular. Maybe one of the best gaggles ever, Linda, 471 00:23:25,600 --> 00:23:28,600 Speaker 1: that I've ever heard. Marco Rubio going into the Ganga 472 00:23:28,600 --> 00:23:32,119 Speaker 1: aid to update them yet again. The big headliner of 473 00:23:32,160 --> 00:23:37,080 Speaker 1: the day is there was a meeting of Iran Supreme Council. 474 00:23:37,400 --> 00:23:39,960 Speaker 1: The purpose of the meeting was to choose a successor 475 00:23:40,600 --> 00:23:46,280 Speaker 1: of the late Supreme leader, Ayatola Ali Hamani, and Israel, 476 00:23:46,320 --> 00:23:49,639 Speaker 1: you know, along with American intelligence, knew this meeting was 477 00:23:49,680 --> 00:23:53,800 Speaker 1: taking place, and Israel struck while they were counting the votes, 478 00:23:53,840 --> 00:23:56,640 Speaker 1: as many as eighty eight people other leaders, on top 479 00:23:56,680 --> 00:23:58,840 Speaker 1: of the forty nine others that they took out in 480 00:23:58,840 --> 00:24:04,159 Speaker 1: the first thirty second of this campaign. You know, Iranian Americans, 481 00:24:04,160 --> 00:24:06,879 Speaker 1: says the strike could mark the beginning of the end 482 00:24:06,920 --> 00:24:09,639 Speaker 1: of this regime. The regime is done. It's just a 483 00:24:09,680 --> 00:24:11,920 Speaker 1: matter who will ultimately replace it, which we'll get into 484 00:24:12,000 --> 00:24:15,280 Speaker 1: later in the program. But you know, Operation Epic Fury 485 00:24:15,600 --> 00:24:20,080 Speaker 1: marks the largest US firepower in a generation. And now 486 00:24:20,119 --> 00:24:25,000 Speaker 1: we have about fifteen hundred Iranian combatants killed, including their 487 00:24:25,000 --> 00:24:27,920 Speaker 1: top leadership. We don't even know who's making any decisions. 488 00:24:27,920 --> 00:24:30,920 Speaker 1: That's why every country in the region has been hit 489 00:24:32,520 --> 00:24:36,000 Speaker 1: by Iranian ballistic missiles. What they're able to get off, 490 00:24:36,600 --> 00:24:38,720 Speaker 1: and most of them are being taken out of the air. 491 00:24:39,800 --> 00:24:43,280 Speaker 1: But US is sending more forces to the area. US 492 00:24:43,280 --> 00:24:46,359 Speaker 1: Central Command reports two days ago the Iranian regime had 493 00:24:46,400 --> 00:24:50,240 Speaker 1: eleven ships in the Gulf of Oman. Today they have zero. 494 00:24:50,440 --> 00:24:56,320 Speaker 1: They're all gone. UN Nuclear Watchdog says Iran's nuclear plans 495 00:24:56,640 --> 00:25:02,240 Speaker 1: sustain some recent damage, not much fall from that. The 496 00:25:02,520 --> 00:25:05,320 Speaker 1: Secretary of State mentioning they're going to do everything possible 497 00:25:05,359 --> 00:25:07,760 Speaker 1: to get the fifteen to sixteen hundred Americans in the 498 00:25:07,840 --> 00:25:12,800 Speaker 1: region out of the area, obviously caring about American lives. 499 00:25:12,880 --> 00:25:17,159 Speaker 1: As the conflict continues, Iran did claim the Straits or 500 00:25:17,160 --> 00:25:21,399 Speaker 1: Hormuz or closed, they're not. The US destroyed eleven ships there. 501 00:25:22,640 --> 00:25:28,359 Speaker 1: The Iranian internet blackout passes sixty hours, leaving citizens cut off. 502 00:25:28,440 --> 00:25:31,159 Speaker 1: But hopefully in time, when the time is right, hopefully 503 00:25:31,200 --> 00:25:34,480 Speaker 1: we can even get arms into the hands of those 504 00:25:34,680 --> 00:25:38,280 Speaker 1: Iranians that need to fight back against the Iranian Revolutionary 505 00:25:38,320 --> 00:25:42,160 Speaker 1: Guard and remaining police and CUDS forces that might exist. 506 00:25:43,520 --> 00:25:48,280 Speaker 1: Hamani's wife is dead after the Saturday strike, apparently died 507 00:25:48,320 --> 00:25:51,520 Speaker 1: after sustaining injuries in the air strikes that killed their husband. 508 00:25:52,000 --> 00:25:57,000 Speaker 1: I mean, there's so much news. The Kataris shot down 509 00:25:57,080 --> 00:26:01,520 Speaker 1: two of Iran's Russian built supersonic bombers, and this operation 510 00:26:03,040 --> 00:26:07,000 Speaker 1: is about as close to flawless as you could ever expect. 511 00:26:07,480 --> 00:26:09,800 Speaker 1: And it just, you know, every American should be proud 512 00:26:09,800 --> 00:26:13,439 Speaker 1: of our military and the decision of this president to 513 00:26:13,560 --> 00:26:17,640 Speaker 1: insist that ram will never get nuclear weapons. And Trump 514 00:26:17,720 --> 00:26:22,359 Speaker 1: Trump did rebuff Iran's recent request to restart negotiations. He said, 515 00:26:22,440 --> 00:26:25,639 Speaker 1: it is too late. They want to talk, I said, 516 00:26:25,880 --> 00:26:29,359 Speaker 1: too late. The US is now using Iran's own drone 517 00:26:29,440 --> 00:26:37,280 Speaker 1: technology to deliver retribution against the Iranians. The chairman of 518 00:26:37,320 --> 00:26:41,200 Speaker 1: the Joint Chief Raising Kane says the US has achieved 519 00:26:41,240 --> 00:26:45,879 Speaker 1: the air superiority now over the Iranian skies. I mentioned 520 00:26:45,880 --> 00:26:51,480 Speaker 1: that Mahablud ah Medenajad is dead. US air strikes have 521 00:26:51,560 --> 00:26:55,080 Speaker 1: sunk the entire Iranian Navy, according to the Daily Wire. 522 00:26:55,680 --> 00:26:58,920 Speaker 1: I mean, this is unbelievable. 523 00:27:00,040 --> 00:27:00,240 Speaker 2: Yes. 524 00:27:00,280 --> 00:27:02,880 Speaker 1: By the way, Iranians all over the world they're celebrating, Linda. 525 00:27:02,880 --> 00:27:05,200 Speaker 1: I don't know if you saw the videos of their 526 00:27:05,280 --> 00:27:09,960 Speaker 1: liberation by doing the Trump dance, knows his YMCA dance, 527 00:27:10,440 --> 00:27:14,560 Speaker 1: which is pretty funny. This is a moment where we 528 00:27:14,600 --> 00:27:18,679 Speaker 1: should all be grateful that we have a president that 529 00:27:18,960 --> 00:27:22,040 Speaker 1: understands the nature of evil and taking it out before 530 00:27:22,280 --> 00:27:27,160 Speaker 1: it becomes an even bigger problem. When Steve Wickcoff shocked 531 00:27:27,160 --> 00:27:29,800 Speaker 1: me last night when he said we even offered them 532 00:27:29,880 --> 00:27:33,199 Speaker 1: low grade civilian used uranium that we would give to 533 00:27:33,240 --> 00:27:36,520 Speaker 1: them for free in perpetuity, and they turned it all down. 534 00:27:37,760 --> 00:27:42,399 Speaker 1: And this strike today is beyond spectacular. You know remember 535 00:27:42,440 --> 00:27:44,760 Speaker 1: how we got here, Hillary Clinton, who in two thousand 536 00:27:44,800 --> 00:27:49,199 Speaker 1: and a claimed if I'm president, I will strike Iran. Okay, 537 00:27:49,280 --> 00:27:51,080 Speaker 1: And by the way, it's not the time to defund 538 00:27:51,119 --> 00:27:54,280 Speaker 1: the DHS, is it for you? Idiot democrats out there, 539 00:27:55,200 --> 00:28:00,000 Speaker 1: because yeah, we have over you know, twelve million plus 540 00:28:00,080 --> 00:28:03,480 Speaker 1: illegals under Harris and Biden and majorcis that came to 541 00:28:03,520 --> 00:28:07,680 Speaker 1: this country from over two hundred countries, including countries with terroritize. 542 00:28:08,119 --> 00:28:10,919 Speaker 1: You know, Barack Obama gives one point seven billion in 543 00:28:10,960 --> 00:28:14,800 Speaker 1: cash and other currency from cargo planes that was used 544 00:28:14,840 --> 00:28:18,760 Speaker 1: to fund the nuclear program in Iran and terror in 545 00:28:18,800 --> 00:28:22,720 Speaker 1: the region. In twenty fourteen, Iran released videos showing the 546 00:28:22,760 --> 00:28:27,240 Speaker 1: beheading of American journalist James Foley and Steve Sotloff and 547 00:28:27,680 --> 00:28:32,440 Speaker 1: later aid worker Peter Kassig. President Obama answered by giving them, 548 00:28:32,480 --> 00:28:35,639 Speaker 1: you know, cargo planes full of cash and other country 549 00:28:36,000 --> 00:28:40,080 Speaker 1: another currency. It's unbelievable. President Trump actually put out a 550 00:28:40,080 --> 00:28:43,440 Speaker 1: picture we know who's responsible for Iran's nuclear program with 551 00:28:43,520 --> 00:28:46,800 Speaker 1: a picture of Obama. You know, last night I asked 552 00:28:46,800 --> 00:28:49,880 Speaker 1: the I asked the Prime Minister of Israel there, what 553 00:28:49,880 --> 00:28:52,640 Speaker 1: do you say to those people that claim that, oh, Israel, 554 00:28:52,840 --> 00:28:56,120 Speaker 1: you know forced Donald Trump bbe. I don't think I've 555 00:28:56,120 --> 00:28:59,440 Speaker 1: ever seen him laugh in an interview like that. I'm like, 556 00:28:59,520 --> 00:29:02,200 Speaker 1: I've known from thirty years. Nobody tells Donald Trump what 557 00:29:02,240 --> 00:29:05,080 Speaker 1: he's gonna do or not do. That question is asinine, 558 00:29:05,520 --> 00:29:09,959 Speaker 1: and it's usually given by people that don't know Donald Trump, 559 00:29:10,000 --> 00:29:14,760 Speaker 1: don't know his mindset. The President saying that we will 560 00:29:14,800 --> 00:29:19,480 Speaker 1: find out the retaliation a Ram will face, and he's 561 00:29:19,680 --> 00:29:23,640 Speaker 1: very clear in saying the worst, the more aggressive tactics 562 00:29:23,680 --> 00:29:27,640 Speaker 1: are coming. You know, anyone saying Israel sucked us into 563 00:29:27,680 --> 00:29:30,840 Speaker 1: this war does not understand Donald Trump and the arguments 564 00:29:30,880 --> 00:29:33,800 Speaker 1: that he has made. You know, in the last century, 565 00:29:33,960 --> 00:29:36,680 Speaker 1: we got to learn from history. When we didn't take 566 00:29:36,720 --> 00:29:39,520 Speaker 1: on the likes of Stalin and Hitler and Mussolini and 567 00:29:39,560 --> 00:29:44,280 Speaker 1: Tojo and Paul Pott, well, one hundred million human souls 568 00:29:44,640 --> 00:29:50,040 Speaker 1: were taken according to estimates. Marco Rubio confirming a Ram 569 00:29:50,160 --> 00:29:53,400 Speaker 1: was about to try and kill Americans, Democrats would have 570 00:29:53,400 --> 00:29:55,840 Speaker 1: been grilling him on Capitol Hill if we didn't strike. 571 00:29:56,400 --> 00:29:59,480 Speaker 1: Think about that. That's all true too when it comes 572 00:29:59,560 --> 00:30:02,400 Speaker 1: to strike King Iran. Donald Trump has been consistent for 573 00:30:02,400 --> 00:30:04,440 Speaker 1: forty seven years. We found a clip of him. I 574 00:30:04,480 --> 00:30:07,400 Speaker 1: wish I had time to play it. But there's never 575 00:30:07,520 --> 00:30:11,560 Speaker 1: been a president like this, one that knows history, that 576 00:30:11,720 --> 00:30:15,920 Speaker 1: understands history, and that is preventing you know, the possibility 577 00:30:16,520 --> 00:30:25,200 Speaker 1: of potentially millions to be harmed by this radical death cult, 578 00:30:25,680 --> 00:30:28,360 Speaker 1: which is what their state admission has been for many years.
