That is all things 0:01:54.680 --> 0:01:57.920 self proclaimed simple man, that means all things Bill O'Reilly, 0:01:58.000 --> 0:02:00.440 all things bill O'Reilly. Oh you can find that a 0:02:00.600 --> 0:02:05.440 bill O'Reilly dot com. Mister O'Reilly, sir, glad you willis 0:02:05.720 --> 0:02:06.120 how are. 0:02:06.040 --> 0:02:06.800 You having me? 0:02:07.440 --> 0:02:10.760 I have been saying that this conflict in Iran is 0:02:10.880 --> 0:02:13.480 going to come to a swift end. And I come 0:02:13.560 --> 0:02:17.720 to this conclusion bill because for a couple of reasons. One, 0:02:18.120 --> 0:02:20.799 I know Donald Trump. Two I listened to what he 0:02:20.880 --> 0:02:24.280 has to say. Three I look at what they've been 0:02:24.360 --> 0:02:27.160 able to accomplish. I listened. I had Secretary of State 0:02:27.200 --> 0:02:29.920 Mark or Rubio on last night. We went into great detail. 0:02:30.680 --> 0:02:34.119 And where we are today is we really have two 0:02:34.560 --> 0:02:37.600 remaining issues that have to be dealt with. I'm not 0:02:37.720 --> 0:02:40.960 saying any of them are simple. I think all military 0:02:41.000 --> 0:02:44.239 efforts are complicated. I think they're all dangerous. We always 0:02:44.280 --> 0:02:47.120 pray for our troops. But I think it was a necessity. 0:02:47.880 --> 0:02:50.959 And what precipitated the President going in is something you 0:02:51.040 --> 0:02:53.960 and I discussed last week, and that is the sixty 0:02:54.000 --> 0:02:57.000 percent enriched uranium that could be that could be further 0:02:57.160 --> 0:03:00.120 enriched to ninety percent and seven to twelve days. And 0:03:00.400 --> 0:03:02.600 the fact that they bragged that they have fourigner in 0:03:02.680 --> 0:03:07.120 sixty kilograms, enough for eleven nuclear weapons. And we learned 0:03:07.160 --> 0:03:10.880 in this conflict that their ballistic missile range is far 0:03:11.040 --> 0:03:13.880 longer than the world had estimated, which means that their 0:03:13.919 --> 0:03:18.600 ballistic missiles currently without any improvement, could reach Paris and London. 0:03:18.880 --> 0:03:21.480 That would be an existential threat to the entire world. 0:03:21.720 --> 0:03:25.079 So the President has said today that they want to 0:03:25.120 --> 0:03:28.280 cease fire. Apparently these negotiations are going well. We will 0:03:28.360 --> 0:03:31.359 either have in the next two weeks a negotiated settlement 0:03:32.000 --> 0:03:37.280 or the President will have to remove the sixty percent 0:03:37.440 --> 0:03:40.360 enriched uranium by force, and that's going to be up 0:03:40.400 --> 0:03:42.960 to the Iranians. The second part of it is the 0:03:43.080 --> 0:03:46.440 straight of hormones, which we'll get to separately. What say you, 0:03:46.680 --> 0:03:47.960 mister O'Reilly sir? 0:03:48.520 --> 0:03:53.600 Well, if you know President Trump, he doesn't give major addresses. 0:03:54.240 --> 0:03:57.920 If he's got bad news to number one, she figure 0:03:57.960 --> 0:04:00.680 he's got something on his mind tonight that's going to 0:04:00.720 --> 0:04:05.120 be positive for his administration in the country. We don't 0:04:05.160 --> 0:04:07.920 know what that is yet. It might be just as 0:04:08.000 --> 0:04:11.920 great as hits, I don't know. But it's not going 0:04:11.960 --> 0:04:14.080 to be a negative. It's not going to be like, oh, 0:04:14.520 --> 0:04:16.520 this is harder and we thought it was going to be, 0:04:16.960 --> 0:04:20.320 or we're not doing well in this area. Not going 0:04:20.400 --> 0:04:20.680 to be that. 0:04:21.320 --> 0:04:24.599 So, by the way, by the way, Bill, by any 0:04:24.680 --> 0:04:28.720 objective measure, can any intelligent person make that point if 0:04:28.760 --> 0:04:31.880 we look at past military efforts and conflicts that we 0:04:31.960 --> 0:04:34.920 have had, and look look at for example, World War 0:04:34.960 --> 0:04:38.960 two slamming the beaches of Normandy D Day and how 0:04:39.120 --> 0:04:43.320 difficult that mission was at that time, and how many 0:04:43.520 --> 0:04:48.240 American lives were lost that day, and every loss of 0:04:48.320 --> 0:04:52.520 life is a casualty. That's our national treasure. However, to 0:04:52.640 --> 0:04:55.480 wipe out their navy and their but ballistic missiles and 0:04:55.560 --> 0:04:57.640 their drone system most of it, not all of it. 0:04:57.760 --> 0:05:00.400 We can't find every bit of it. But to have 0:05:00.560 --> 0:05:06.040 such a successful intelligence military effort with with limited casualties 0:05:06.200 --> 0:05:07.680 like this is unprecedented. 0:05:08.160 --> 0:05:10.520 You would agree with that, I would agree with it, 0:05:10.760 --> 0:05:15.160 but with a caveat. So hearts and minds has to 0:05:15.279 --> 0:05:18.200 be part of any war equation. And there are a 0:05:18.240 --> 0:05:21.200 lot of people who don't want to believe that this 0:05:21.440 --> 0:05:24.040 is a successful operation. They don't want to believe it. 0:05:24.120 --> 0:05:27.000 People believe what they want to believe. And these people, 0:05:27.520 --> 0:05:30.920 and you saw them on the King's thing over the weekend, 0:05:31.320 --> 0:05:33.479 they don't want to believe it, so they're not going 0:05:33.680 --> 0:05:35.920 to believe it. And you can present them with all 0:05:36.080 --> 0:05:38.440 kinds of evidence, but you see it. 0:05:38.640 --> 0:05:42.760 You're a historian. There's never been any level of military 0:05:42.880 --> 0:05:48.440 success like this in the history of warfare, with as 0:05:48.520 --> 0:05:49.560 few casualties. 0:05:49.680 --> 0:05:50.040 Correct. 0:05:50.520 --> 0:05:54.560 Yes, After I interviewed Lindsey Graham, and you know, I 0:05:54.760 --> 0:05:57.800 gave him my usual hard time to back up what 0:05:57.880 --> 0:06:04.280 he was saying. I was convinced that the Mullas had 0:06:04.320 --> 0:06:09.240 the capacity to use nuclear weapons in a very short 0:06:09.240 --> 0:06:12.480 period of time. Now I didn't want to believe that. 0:06:13.600 --> 0:06:17.039 That's my journalistic training. I went over it for an hour, 0:06:17.839 --> 0:06:22.400 which Senator Graham. But I also understand that Putin's the 0:06:22.440 --> 0:06:27.680 big winner here, not the United States, because NATO is finished, 0:06:28.640 --> 0:06:33.479 finished as an alliance. And it's a very simple equation. 0:06:34.120 --> 0:06:38.719 You're the president and all you want from the NATO 0:06:39.000 --> 0:06:44.880 European countries is some cooperation in helping the United States 0:06:44.920 --> 0:06:48.440 and Israel dismantle the nukes. That's all you're asking for. 0:06:49.279 --> 0:06:52.640 And it's easy. We're doing all the heavy lift here. 0:06:53.480 --> 0:06:56.440 All they need to do is let us land or 0:06:56.560 --> 0:06:59.760 maybe give us some intel, or maybe throw in on 0:07:00.279 --> 0:07:04.160 movies a little bit. And they won't do it. You 0:07:04.279 --> 0:07:07.760 don't have an alliance. So Putin's sitting back there going 0:07:07.880 --> 0:07:09.280 this is great. I love this. 0:07:10.680 --> 0:07:10.840 Now. 0:07:10.920 --> 0:07:12.920 We let mean, let me tell you where I think 0:07:13.000 --> 0:07:15.560 you're wrong in your analysis. You're right about Putin is 0:07:15.600 --> 0:07:17.800 loving it. I will. I will concede that point. I 0:07:17.840 --> 0:07:20.840 think you're dead on accurate. I think you're also right 0:07:21.080 --> 0:07:25.280 in your observation that NATO has finished, and we spend 0:07:25.360 --> 0:07:28.080 nearly a trillion dollars a year, we pay sixty we 0:07:28.200 --> 0:07:30.640 pay two thirds of the bill for NATO anyway, and 0:07:32.520 --> 0:07:35.560 we have the continent of Europe and individual countries. They 0:07:35.600 --> 0:07:37.920 have been in a precipitous decline now going on for 0:07:38.000 --> 0:07:41.400 a couple of decades. They've neglected defense, They've embraced socialism, 0:07:41.520 --> 0:07:48.320 climate alarmism, and they have also allowed unfettered illegal immigration 0:07:48.440 --> 0:07:52.239 without assimilation, resulting in sharia courts and no go zones. Okay, 0:07:52.360 --> 0:07:57.160 so the real loser is NATO, not the United States bill. 0:07:57.280 --> 0:08:01.640 Because we don't need NATO. We will find bases to 0:08:01.840 --> 0:08:06.040 land our planes moving forward at a far lower cost 0:08:06.160 --> 0:08:08.880 point than we're currently paying. We're not going to lose 0:08:08.920 --> 0:08:12.920 at all. The biggest loser in that battle is Europe. 0:08:13.720 --> 0:08:17.360 They will be the big They have now totally put 0:08:17.400 --> 0:08:21.880 the final nail in their coffin. As far as I'm concerned, here's. 0:08:21.640 --> 0:08:25.480 Why I disagree with you. So I expect Putin to 0:08:25.880 --> 0:08:29.400 ramp up in Ukraine, and that's not good for the 0:08:29.560 --> 0:08:31.880 United States or Europe. It's not good for any world. 0:08:32.760 --> 0:08:37.400 And Putin is now embold in, so Hello Latvia, a 0:08:37.480 --> 0:08:40.800 low Baltic states, and we're gonna have to pay a 0:08:41.000 --> 0:08:45.000 lot of money, taxpayer money to blunt Putin, and we're 0:08:45.080 --> 0:08:49.360 not going to have the allies that we used to have. 0:08:50.240 --> 0:08:53.640 And the reason this is all happening in Europe is 0:08:53.840 --> 0:08:57.920 because of socialism. And Spain is the best example. Spain 0:08:58.040 --> 0:09:01.880 is now a socialist country. Admire the United States, they 0:09:01.920 --> 0:09:05.320 don't even like us. I'll never go to Spain again, Hannity. 0:09:05.360 --> 0:09:07.440 I don't know whether you've ever been beautiful country. 0:09:08.080 --> 0:09:10.080 I haven't been to Spain, but I've been to France 0:09:10.120 --> 0:09:13.400 and I've been to Great Britain, and those countries are gone. 0:09:13.600 --> 0:09:16.959 Europe as a continent is gone. Bill, It's over. I 0:09:17.040 --> 0:09:20.320 don't think they can recover. I do not believe they 0:09:20.360 --> 0:09:24.440 have so neglected defense, they have so embraced their radicalism, 0:09:25.440 --> 0:09:27.920 their unfettered immigration. Do you ever think it of nearly 0:09:27.920 --> 0:09:31.120 one hundred career courts in Great Britain, Bill, O'Reilly, No, 0:09:31.320 --> 0:09:31.760 you did not. 0:09:32.920 --> 0:09:36.360 And that's the reason they're not cooperating, because they fear 0:09:36.600 --> 0:09:40.760 they being the leadership of these individual countries. They fear 0:09:41.679 --> 0:09:48.200 terrorism and the strength of the Muslim humunity, which is considerable, 0:09:48.760 --> 0:09:51.319 and that's why they're not helping out, because all you 0:09:51.400 --> 0:09:55.240 got to do is say, listen. If you have a 0:09:55.400 --> 0:09:59.120 nuclear threat at your doorstep, which they certainly do, and 0:09:59.240 --> 0:10:04.280 you don't care about that, then either you're emotionally disturbed 0:10:05.440 --> 0:10:08.720 or there's something else. And there's something else is they 0:10:08.760 --> 0:10:13.000 don't want their soccer games blown up. They are operating 0:10:13.080 --> 0:10:18.240 out a fear. But the United States needs allies, and 0:10:18.600 --> 0:10:24.080 Japan is now proving that in vexing China. Japan's really 0:10:24.160 --> 0:10:27.400 stepped up there and it helps us to have them, 0:10:28.120 --> 0:10:30.120 but we're not going to have them for at least 0:10:30.160 --> 0:10:32.559 the next two and a half years. Let me and 0:10:32.920 --> 0:10:33.320 I know you. 0:10:33.360 --> 0:10:36.080 Spoke to Lindsey Graham, and Lindsey Graham is looking at 0:10:36.120 --> 0:10:38.360 the other side of this conflict and what he is 0:10:38.480 --> 0:10:45.600 seeing is normalization, recognition. We'll call it an expansion, if 0:10:45.640 --> 0:10:51.120 you will, of the Abraham Accords, and that would mean 0:10:51.520 --> 0:10:54.839 that hopefully piece in the Middle East for many, many 0:10:55.600 --> 0:10:59.360 decades to come. And I hope that's the net result 0:10:59.400 --> 0:11:01.599 of that. With the bill, and I was on that 0:11:01.720 --> 0:11:04.439 golf trip with the President when he went to Riod 0:11:05.080 --> 0:11:08.760 in Saudi Arabia and Cutter and he went to the UAE. 0:11:09.000 --> 0:11:11.640 I was there and I learned a lot and the 0:11:12.000 --> 0:11:16.680 and every one of these countries wants a great relationship 0:11:16.760 --> 0:11:20.000 with the United States. So there will be new alliances. 0:11:20.679 --> 0:11:25.280 And I think Western civilization, which was saved by Winston Churchill, boy, 0:11:25.400 --> 0:11:29.520 I will tell you you talk about Neville, Chamberlain, Starmar. Uh, 0:11:29.840 --> 0:11:33.960 it is breathtaking to me that that clearly Europe has 0:11:34.040 --> 0:11:38.360 forgotten the lessons of history, not even one hundred years ago. 0:11:39.280 --> 0:11:42.320 And they they were willing to have a nuclear armed Iran. 0:11:42.559 --> 0:11:44.839 And meanwhile we learned in this conflict that they have 0:11:44.960 --> 0:11:48.959 ballistic missile range capable of hitting Paris and capable of 0:11:49.080 --> 0:11:51.640 hitting London. And they won't even send a ship to help, 0:11:51.920 --> 0:11:54.000 you know, keep open the free flow of oil at 0:11:54.080 --> 0:11:57.040 market prices in the straight of Horne moves. How insane 0:11:57.160 --> 0:11:57.319 is that. 0:11:57.800 --> 0:12:01.120 It's absolutely stunning, It's absolutely stunning. 0:12:01.320 --> 0:12:03.319 It's over, but it's not going to impact us. You know, 0:12:03.440 --> 0:12:05.440 we're gonna have bill, We'll we're gonna have another trillion 0:12:05.520 --> 0:12:09.160 dollars to spend on national defense here and one day 0:12:09.280 --> 0:12:12.559 they will be. They will be kissing our ass, begging 0:12:12.760 --> 0:12:15.760 us to help them for the very conflicts that could 0:12:15.920 --> 0:12:19.480 very likely arise that you had previously mentioned. Viz A 0:12:19.600 --> 0:12:20.840 VI Vladimir Putin. 0:12:21.480 --> 0:12:23.800 Putin's going to cause trouble, There's no doubt about it. 0:12:24.440 --> 0:12:29.960 And these cowardly Europeans can't stand up to them. They're 0:12:30.080 --> 0:12:33.640 under power to do it and be at this point 0:12:33.800 --> 0:12:37.480 in history, they probably let Putin march into Moldova and 0:12:37.600 --> 0:12:39.800 take it. They probably how would they got bill? 0:12:39.920 --> 0:12:41.160 How will they stop them? 0:12:41.760 --> 0:12:44.920 Well, I mean they there is arm capabity, they. 0:12:44.880 --> 0:12:47.240 Don't have the will, they don't have the military might, 0:12:47.400 --> 0:12:50.760 they don't have the ability to stop them. They would cower. 0:12:51.240 --> 0:12:54.520 And a lot of this is the European media, which 0:12:54.559 --> 0:12:57.800 is absolutely it's actually worse than the American media. If 0:12:57.800 --> 0:13:02.560 you can imagine that, A gamizing the United States every night, BBC, 0:13:03.440 --> 0:13:08.040 Agent France, all of that just demonized, demonized, demonized. And 0:13:08.600 --> 0:13:14.400 the population of Europe, you know, they're dependent on the government. 0:13:14.679 --> 0:13:20.480 It's a basically welfare situation. Gimme, gimme, gimme. I don't 0:13:20.559 --> 0:13:25.319 care what really happens in the Gulf. Well, when you're 0:13:25.360 --> 0:13:30.839 heating bills triple, which they will if this continues. You're 0:13:30.880 --> 0:13:35.080 gonna care. But this is very very It is stunning 0:13:35.559 --> 0:13:39.440 that Great Britain because that's the real bulwark Tony Blair 0:13:39.559 --> 0:13:42.240 or Prime Minister. This would not be happening. Which term 0:13:42.360 --> 0:13:47.640 is weak and he's afraid. And you can't conduct foreign 0:13:47.679 --> 0:13:49.160 policy if you're weak and a frame. 0:13:50.720 --> 0:13:53.959 I can tell you the net the net result of 0:13:54.240 --> 0:13:58.559 all of this is there's going to be a reconfiguration 0:13:58.720 --> 0:14:03.719 of the world order, and Europe now is floundering at 0:14:04.160 --> 0:14:07.600 I don't think Europe can recover. I don't think Europe 0:14:07.600 --> 0:14:10.880 would ever take the necessary steps to insist either on 0:14:10.960 --> 0:14:16.640 assimilation or expelling people that have no interest in assimilating 0:14:16.720 --> 0:14:20.240 to their their mores and their values in their individual countries. 0:14:20.840 --> 0:14:24.400 I see No go zones continuing. People deny that they're 0:14:24.720 --> 0:14:28.440 they're real. I've had reporters on Fox in those No 0:14:28.600 --> 0:14:32.240 go zones and they're very real. So I'm not sure 0:14:32.440 --> 0:14:36.240 if there's a path to recovery for them, especially because 0:14:36.280 --> 0:14:38.720 of the political reality and the fear that they have 0:14:39.960 --> 0:14:42.880 among now their own population. I think I think it's over. 0:14:43.760 --> 0:14:47.480 The final equation to the story is all the weakness 0:14:47.560 --> 0:14:51.840 in Europe and in the United States. The Trump patriot 0:14:51.960 --> 0:14:57.560 here helps un because they think that they can hold 0:14:57.640 --> 0:15:03.080 out because of all the pressure on President Trump, and 0:15:03.160 --> 0:15:08.120 they'll get a better deal, and that helps the Mullas. 0:15:09.680 --> 0:15:13.360 But tonight, Bill, the Mullas are dead. I don't know 0:15:13.440 --> 0:15:16.840 what mullas you're talking about. The Mullas are. We're now 0:15:16.920 --> 0:15:22.240 at the fourth and fifthier of remaining leadership. So I 0:15:22.320 --> 0:15:26.480 will tell you this, and you are correct, and Lindsey 0:15:26.560 --> 0:15:28.680 Graham rightly convinced you. But I will tell you who 0:15:28.760 --> 0:15:33.800 convinced me. It was Steve Whitkoff, and it was Secretary 0:15:33.840 --> 0:15:36.000 of State Rubio who was on my show last night. 0:15:36.240 --> 0:15:38.960 It was this was a clear and present danger, and 0:15:39.080 --> 0:15:41.840 that's why the President acted. We'll never be able to 0:15:41.920 --> 0:15:45.560 calculate how many lives likely were saved, because if they 0:15:45.640 --> 0:15:50.000 got these nuclear weapons with their increased ballistic missile range 0:15:50.040 --> 0:15:53.200 and capability, this could have been a modern day holocaust, 0:15:53.280 --> 0:15:56.280 and Donald Trump prevented that from happen happening, so we'll 0:15:56.320 --> 0:15:59.080 never know how many people's lives may and likely have 0:15:59.200 --> 0:16:01.720 been saved. All right, mister O'Reilly, we just st up 0:16:01.760 --> 0:16:04.440 on the clock, my brother. We appreciate you being here 0:16:04.560 --> 0:16:07.400 all things Bill O'Reilly or Billoreilly dot com. Sir, I 0:16:07.560 --> 0:16:10.600 know this is the highlight of your week. Everything's downhill 0:16:10.680 --> 0:16:13.000 from here. Have a great Easter with you and your family. 0:16:13.080 --> 0:16:15.200 Okay, sir, thanks for having me, You too. 0:16:15.680 --> 0:16:17.560 Eight hundred and nine point one, Shawn. If you want 0:16:17.560 --> 0:16:19.520 to be a part of the program, quick break right back. 0:16:19.560 --> 0:16:21.040 We'll continue on the other side. 0:16:26.400 --> 0:16:32.040 Digging DD to expose how the government waste your money 0:16:32.360 --> 0:16:34.320 each and every day. 0:16:34.880 --> 0:17:30.560 This is the Sean Hannity Show. He gives you the 0:17:30.800 --> 0:17:35.040 latest breaking news when he hits the air. This is 0:17:35.160 --> 0:17:36.920 the Sean Hannity Show. 0:17:38.240 --> 0:17:41.480 If for me, I've been two and let me be 0:17:41.720 --> 0:17:47.159 very clear, I don't care about the radical no Kings, 0:17:47.280 --> 0:17:51.560 protest lunatic left in this country. There's nothing Donald Trump 0:17:51.600 --> 0:17:55.000 will ever say or do that they're gonna like or support. 0:17:55.560 --> 0:17:58.159 And Donald Trump has not lied to us. 0:17:58.840 --> 0:17:58.959 Uh. 0:17:59.119 --> 0:18:01.960 This is not a rat this is not Afghanistan. He's 0:18:02.040 --> 0:18:05.040 never given up as principle of no forever war. However, 0:18:05.400 --> 0:18:07.119 and their people said this is going to be a 0:18:07.240 --> 0:18:09.480 forever war. It's not going to be a forever war. 0:18:09.760 --> 0:18:13.600 There are two people that have convinced me, and two 0:18:13.720 --> 0:18:16.280 interviews that I think have been critical in terms of 0:18:16.640 --> 0:18:20.320 why now, why are we there? One was with the 0:18:20.400 --> 0:18:22.960 Middle East don Voy Steve Whitkoff, and he was the 0:18:23.000 --> 0:18:25.640 one that told us in great detail, and we've played 0:18:25.680 --> 0:18:28.320 it on this radio program more than once, but we 0:18:28.920 --> 0:18:32.840 described in detail how the Uranians believe that it is 0:18:32.960 --> 0:18:36.000 then their inalienable right to have nuclear weapons. They would 0:18:36.040 --> 0:18:39.240 not give up on that even after Midnight Hammer, and 0:18:39.359 --> 0:18:42.080 they have four uner and sixty kilograms of sixty percent 0:18:42.240 --> 0:18:45.959 enriched uranium that would be enough for eleven nuclear bombs. 0:18:46.560 --> 0:18:49.600 The other person that has laid out the case as 0:18:49.640 --> 0:18:53.080 well as anybody, as our Secretary of State, Marco Rubio, 0:18:53.680 --> 0:18:55.879 and I had this interview with him yesterday. Let's listen 0:18:56.480 --> 0:18:59.399 joining us is the Secretary of State himself. Marco Rubio 0:18:59.480 --> 0:19:01.640 is with us. Secretary, thank you for taking the time. 0:19:01.720 --> 0:19:03.560 I know you're busy and you got a lot on 0:19:03.640 --> 0:19:07.040 your plate. Can we start with the question for those 0:19:07.160 --> 0:19:11.000 Americans that may not understand why now? I want to 0:19:11.040 --> 0:19:16.000 go through this in great specificity and detail about the necessity. 0:19:15.480 --> 0:19:16.640 Of this now. 0:19:17.160 --> 0:19:19.760 When the Middle East don boy Steve Whitkoff came on 0:19:19.920 --> 0:19:25.000 this program and explain that the Iranians would not negotiate 0:19:25.080 --> 0:19:28.479 the issue of giving up their nuclear weapons program. Bragged 0:19:28.480 --> 0:19:32.520 about four hundred and sixty kilograms of sixty percent of 0:19:32.640 --> 0:19:38.000 rich uranium that could be turned into weapons grade ninety. 0:19:37.800 --> 0:19:39.440 Percent in seven to twelve days. 0:19:41.040 --> 0:19:43.760 At that point in time, it seemed inevitable to me 0:19:44.080 --> 0:19:46.359 they were going to in spite of midnight Hammer. They 0:19:46.400 --> 0:19:49.560 were going to cling to that quote inalienable writers they 0:19:49.640 --> 0:19:51.520 called it was that the tipping point. 0:19:52.240 --> 0:19:53.639 Well, it was one of the tipping points. 0:19:53.640 --> 0:19:55.160 I mean, part of the tipping point is the fact 0:19:55.200 --> 0:19:57.280 that Aron's been doing this for forty seven years. We 0:19:57.400 --> 0:19:59.280 know what this regime is all about. I always say, 0:19:59.280 --> 0:20:00.840 a rod, let me be. I'm not talking about the 0:20:00.880 --> 0:20:03.240 people of Iran. The people of Iran don't even like 0:20:03.359 --> 0:20:06.240 this government or this regime. This is a regime that 0:20:06.400 --> 0:20:09.679 is led by radical Shiah clerics, by people who believe 0:20:10.040 --> 0:20:12.280 that it is their calling. I know this sounds fantastical, 0:20:12.320 --> 0:20:15.040 but it's absolutely true. This is a regime led by 0:20:15.080 --> 0:20:17.680 people who believe that it is their calling and their 0:20:17.720 --> 0:20:20.200 purpose in life to usher in the end of the world. 0:20:20.400 --> 0:20:21.879 These people want nuclear weapons. 0:20:21.960 --> 0:20:24.399 Why do we know that, because they are assembling all 0:20:24.440 --> 0:20:27.240 the things you need for nuclear weapons. They're assembling long 0:20:27.320 --> 0:20:30.320 range rockets that can eventually reach the United States, can 0:20:30.359 --> 0:20:32.880 already range Europe. We saw them demonstrate two of them 0:20:32.960 --> 0:20:35.840 last week, despite denying that they had them. They enriched 0:20:35.920 --> 0:20:38.680 uranium to sixty percent, as you pointed out a moment ago, 0:20:38.720 --> 0:20:41.320 from sixty to ninety percent, which you need for a bomb, 0:20:41.600 --> 0:20:44.920 takes twelve to fourteen days. They bragged about still having that. 0:20:45.440 --> 0:20:47.399 They demand the right to enrich, which is how you 0:20:47.480 --> 0:20:50.440 get from sixty to ninety percent. They're the leading sponsor 0:20:50.480 --> 0:20:53.479 of terrorism, not in the region, in the world. They 0:20:53.560 --> 0:20:55.920 can never be allowed to have a nuclear weapon, which 0:20:56.000 --> 0:20:58.200 is what President Trump made very clear from the very 0:20:58.240 --> 0:21:00.399 first day of his presidency, from in fact, the very 0:21:00.440 --> 0:21:02.800 first day of his candidacy, when he came down that 0:21:02.960 --> 0:21:06.080 escalator in twenty fifteen, he talked about this. He's actually 0:21:06.119 --> 0:21:08.320 been talking about the threat of Iran before he was 0:21:08.359 --> 0:21:10.879 even a political candidate, and as president, he was not 0:21:11.040 --> 0:21:13.919 going to allow Iran to pose a threat to Americans 0:21:14.000 --> 0:21:17.119 now or future generations of Americans. So we had to 0:21:17.240 --> 0:21:20.879 act with very clear purpose. We are going to destroy 0:21:21.160 --> 0:21:23.600 their air force. We have largely done that. We were 0:21:23.640 --> 0:21:26.360 going to destroy their navy, which we have largely achieved. 0:21:26.400 --> 0:21:29.720 That we were going to destroy a significant percentage of 0:21:29.720 --> 0:21:30.680 their missile launchers. 0:21:30.960 --> 0:21:32.600 We are well on our way to achieving that. 0:21:32.920 --> 0:21:35.400 And we were going to wipe out their defense industrial base, 0:21:35.520 --> 0:21:36.919 meaning the factories that make. 0:21:36.800 --> 0:21:39.120 The drones and the missiles. We are on our way 0:21:39.200 --> 0:21:39.639 to doing that. 0:21:40.080 --> 0:21:42.320 Those were our four objectives, because those are the four 0:21:42.400 --> 0:21:44.919 things they were going to hide behind to then develop 0:21:44.960 --> 0:21:47.440 a nuclear weapon and threaten the world that they tried 0:21:47.440 --> 0:21:49.680 to do anything about it, that was not going to happen. 0:21:49.760 --> 0:21:51.840 Under President Trump, we are well on our way. 0:21:51.920 --> 0:21:53.879 We are on or ahead of schedule on each of 0:21:53.920 --> 0:21:55.399 those four objectives. 0:21:55.119 --> 0:21:57.200 And we can see the finish line. It's not today, 0:21:57.280 --> 0:21:58.840 it's not tomorrow, but it is coming. 0:21:59.240 --> 0:22:01.080 We are going to get to the point where our 0:22:01.160 --> 0:22:04.520 military will have achieved all of its objectives in this mission, 0:22:04.760 --> 0:22:07.840 and they're doing so with extraordinary efficiency, something that I 0:22:07.880 --> 0:22:09.520 think will go down in history is one of the 0:22:10.080 --> 0:22:12.440 best run tactical military. 0:22:12.040 --> 0:22:13.960 Operations in modern times. 0:22:14.560 --> 0:22:16.880 We'll get back to that timeline in a second, because 0:22:17.000 --> 0:22:19.080 both you and the President have said weeks, it's not 0:22:19.200 --> 0:22:22.240 going to be months. One thing I think we've learned 0:22:22.240 --> 0:22:25.119 and if you can expand on this, because if you 0:22:25.440 --> 0:22:29.320 have nuclear capability, you also need the delivery system. 0:22:29.840 --> 0:22:33.240 Prior to Epic Fury, you felt. 0:22:33.040 --> 0:22:36.200 And you were arguing that and the world has always 0:22:36.280 --> 0:22:41.480 underestimated Iran's abilities, whether the nuclear capability or ballistic missile capability, 0:22:42.000 --> 0:22:45.800 and you felt it was too dangerous a threat not 0:22:46.000 --> 0:22:49.880 to address in this operation ballistic missiles and the nuclear 0:22:49.960 --> 0:22:53.639 threat at the same time. So now we've discovered that 0:22:53.760 --> 0:22:56.000 they have the ability and the range that is much 0:22:56.119 --> 0:22:58.639 further than we had thought going into this. 0:22:59.200 --> 0:23:00.280 Apparently they now have. 0:23:00.400 --> 0:23:03.520 The capability and the range that their missiles could reach 0:23:03.840 --> 0:23:04.879 Paris London. 0:23:05.080 --> 0:23:07.800 Is that true? That's correct in fact, but they denied it. 0:23:08.240 --> 0:23:10.480 Remember anytime you hear Iran, you know, you had a 0:23:11.200 --> 0:23:13.840 image a moment ago. This guy a Rochi, their foreign minister. 0:23:14.280 --> 0:23:16.800 This guy is a liar. This guy was on television 0:23:16.960 --> 0:23:17.159 like a. 0:23:17.160 --> 0:23:19.760 Week ago, two weeks ago, denying that Iran had any 0:23:19.800 --> 0:23:22.040 missiles that could go beyond a certain limitation. 0:23:22.640 --> 0:23:23.919 And then they fired two of them. 0:23:24.160 --> 0:23:25.959 Now we don't think that many of them, but they 0:23:26.000 --> 0:23:28.200 are soon to have many of them. They we've destroyed 0:23:28.240 --> 0:23:30.360 and are destroying the factories to make those things. 0:23:30.720 --> 0:23:31.240 Those things. 0:23:31.280 --> 0:23:34.040 The ones they launched the other day could reach well 0:23:34.119 --> 0:23:37.440 into Europe, and actually they had fired it on Diego Garcia. 0:23:37.520 --> 0:23:39.080 One of them failed, one of them was shot down, 0:23:39.320 --> 0:23:42.120 but they fired him at Diego Garcia, which is really 0:23:42.160 --> 0:23:46.040 far away. So they were moving towards eventually he having 0:23:46.119 --> 0:23:47.320 a missile that could reach. 0:23:47.160 --> 0:23:49.960 The continental United States. That's what they were aiming to do. 0:23:50.240 --> 0:23:53.520 They were aiming to become the next North Korea, except 0:23:53.600 --> 0:23:56.000 not in North Korea run by you know, a regime 0:23:56.119 --> 0:23:58.879 that you know is troublesome and hard to. 0:23:58.960 --> 0:24:03.399
