WEBVTT - Trump Bombs Iran-Decisive Strike Obliterates Iran's Nuclear Weapons Capacity

0:00:01.480 --> 0:00:05.360
<v Speaker 1>Welcome in is verdicous center. Ted Cruz, Ben Ferguson with you, Senator,

0:00:05.400 --> 0:00:07.440
<v Speaker 1>we got really not a lot to talk about today.

0:00:08.520 --> 0:00:10.160
<v Speaker 2>It is America.

0:00:10.320 --> 0:00:12.880
<v Speaker 1>First, you got sixty days to figure out what you

0:00:12.920 --> 0:00:15.200
<v Speaker 1>want to do, and after that, we don't play around.

0:00:15.280 --> 0:00:17.480
<v Speaker 2>What a message to the world with what just happened

0:00:17.480 --> 0:00:17.920
<v Speaker 2>in Iran?

0:00:18.360 --> 0:00:21.919
<v Speaker 3>Well, this weekend was incredibly consequential. President Trump made the

0:00:21.960 --> 0:00:27.080
<v Speaker 3>decision to take out Iran's nuclear capability. Israel had been

0:00:27.120 --> 0:00:30.880
<v Speaker 3>bombing Iran for over a week, and yet there were

0:00:30.960 --> 0:00:34.800
<v Speaker 3>certain facilities, particularly the ford All facility under a mountain

0:00:34.880 --> 0:00:38.160
<v Speaker 3>in Iran, that Israel lacked the capability to take out.

0:00:38.280 --> 0:00:42.760
<v Speaker 3>And we talked about this at great length. Tucker Carlson

0:00:42.800 --> 0:00:45.120
<v Speaker 3>and I went round and round on this. Tucker did

0:00:45.159 --> 0:00:47.519
<v Speaker 3>not want the United States to engage in this bombing.

0:00:47.560 --> 0:00:51.080
<v Speaker 3>I believed that we should act decisively to stop Iran

0:00:51.120 --> 0:00:54.640
<v Speaker 3>from developing nuclear weapons that they could use to murder Americans.

0:00:55.000 --> 0:00:59.160
<v Speaker 3>And this weekend, President Trump resolved the issue by ordering

0:00:59.280 --> 0:01:07.240
<v Speaker 3>an inc vitibly successful attack, a quite credibly beautifully orchestrated

0:01:07.280 --> 0:01:11.959
<v Speaker 3>attack that devastated Iran's nuclear capability with no casualties on

0:01:12.000 --> 0:01:13.319
<v Speaker 3>our part. We're going to break it down. We're going

0:01:13.360 --> 0:01:16.839
<v Speaker 3>to talk about what exactly happened, what the consequences are,

0:01:17.120 --> 0:01:19.679
<v Speaker 3>and what to expect in the days and weeks coming up.

0:01:20.280 --> 0:01:22.680
<v Speaker 1>It truly was consequential and it was one that I

0:01:22.760 --> 0:01:24.800
<v Speaker 1>think made not only America safer, but the rest of

0:01:24.800 --> 0:01:26.200
<v Speaker 1>the world. And we're going to break down how we

0:01:26.240 --> 0:01:28.600
<v Speaker 1>got to this moment and what the President had to

0:01:28.600 --> 0:01:30.600
<v Speaker 1>say about it as well. In a second, I want

0:01:30.600 --> 0:01:32.800
<v Speaker 1>to talk to you though about Patriot Mobile for a moment.

0:01:32.840 --> 0:01:34.600
<v Speaker 1>You've heard me say their name for a long time.

0:01:34.640 --> 0:01:38.120
<v Speaker 1>You've probably seen their commercials on TV. So why have

0:01:38.280 --> 0:01:42.040
<v Speaker 1>you not made the switch? The most conservative cell phone provider,

0:01:42.120 --> 0:01:46.600
<v Speaker 1>a Christian cell phone provider that there is, period and

0:01:46.920 --> 0:01:49.320
<v Speaker 1>make a difference with every call that you make, with

0:01:49.400 --> 0:01:52.120
<v Speaker 1>every text you make because Patriot Mobile is different.

0:01:52.600 --> 0:01:54.960
<v Speaker 2>They actually take a portion of your bill every.

0:01:54.760 --> 0:01:57.800
<v Speaker 1>Month at no extra charge to you, and they give

0:01:58.000 --> 0:02:02.760
<v Speaker 1>back to conservative cause and organizations and support our First

0:02:02.800 --> 0:02:05.640
<v Speaker 1>and our Second Amendment rights. They stand with the rights

0:02:05.640 --> 0:02:08.880
<v Speaker 1>of unborn children, and they also do amazing work with

0:02:09.000 --> 0:02:13.320
<v Speaker 1>our veterans, our first responders, our wounded warriors, and that's

0:02:13.480 --> 0:02:16.800
<v Speaker 1>just part of what Patriot Mobiles mission is. They are

0:02:16.840 --> 0:02:20.280
<v Speaker 1>a company that say, if you're a conservative, spend your

0:02:20.360 --> 0:02:23.320
<v Speaker 1>dollars with us, and we fight for what we believe in.

0:02:23.639 --> 0:02:26.960
<v Speaker 1>The Other thing is the coverage you get. They are amazing.

0:02:27.080 --> 0:02:29.600
<v Speaker 1>They are on all three major networks. What does that

0:02:29.639 --> 0:02:31.680
<v Speaker 1>mean for you? You're gonna get the exact same covers

<v Speaker 1>nine to seven to two Patriot. So, Senata, let's just

0:03:35.400 --> 0:03:39.440
<v Speaker 1>talk about the sixty days was the deadline? Uh, clearly

0:03:39.440 --> 0:03:42.920
<v Speaker 1>i RAN didn't want to work on a deal, and

0:03:42.960 --> 0:03:46.080
<v Speaker 1>there was a consequence for those actions, and it was

0:03:46.120 --> 0:03:48.080
<v Speaker 1>the fact that they were so close to being able

0:03:48.080 --> 0:03:49.120
<v Speaker 1>to get a nuclear weapon.

0:03:49.560 --> 0:03:52.320
<v Speaker 3>Well, that's exact exactly right. President Trump gave a Ran

0:03:52.480 --> 0:03:54.920
<v Speaker 3>sixty days to reach a deal. The deal. The terms

0:03:54.960 --> 0:03:59.280
<v Speaker 3>he set out was that the deal must entail complete

0:03:59.320 --> 0:04:02.600
<v Speaker 3>and total dis dismantlement of their nuclear weapons capability, every

0:04:02.680 --> 0:04:06.640
<v Speaker 3>centrifuge being dismantled, being shut down. Iran took the entire

0:04:06.760 --> 0:04:09.360
<v Speaker 3>sixty days, and then on the sixtieth day, the IATOLA

0:04:09.440 --> 0:04:13.000
<v Speaker 3>announced nothing. We give you nothing. We will not dismantle

0:04:13.040 --> 0:04:16.320
<v Speaker 3>a single centrifuge. We will build more centrifuges. We're going

0:04:16.360 --> 0:04:19.840
<v Speaker 3>to keep enriching weapons, keep enriching uranium. And the entire

0:04:19.880 --> 0:04:22.400
<v Speaker 3>purpose is to develop a nuclear weapon to be able

0:04:22.400 --> 0:04:25.240
<v Speaker 3>to use it against Israel, or more to the point,

0:04:25.240 --> 0:04:28.720
<v Speaker 3>against the United States of America. On the sixty first day,

0:04:28.960 --> 0:04:33.160
<v Speaker 3>Israel began the aerial assault with incredible precision. I got

0:04:33.200 --> 0:04:35.080
<v Speaker 3>to say, by the way, the precision of the Masad

0:04:35.160 --> 0:04:39.400
<v Speaker 3>in terms of identifying senior military officials in Iran taking

0:04:39.440 --> 0:04:41.839
<v Speaker 3>out one after the other after the other. You know,

0:04:41.920 --> 0:04:44.040
<v Speaker 3>every person that got named the chief of staff of

0:04:44.080 --> 0:04:47.520
<v Speaker 3>the RGC, it seemed within hours they were taken out.

0:04:47.560 --> 0:04:49.640
<v Speaker 3>Then they named the new chief of staff of the RGC,

0:04:50.080 --> 0:04:52.320
<v Speaker 3>and within hours he got taken out, one after the

0:04:52.360 --> 0:04:53.919
<v Speaker 3>other after the other. I got to tell you that

0:04:54.080 --> 0:04:56.440
<v Speaker 3>call saying, hey, Ben, you're the new chief of staff

0:04:56.480 --> 0:04:59.200
<v Speaker 3>of the RGC. I think people stopped answering their phone calls.

0:04:59.720 --> 0:05:02.320
<v Speaker 3>It was almost like they were hesibal a terrorist getting paid.

0:05:02.440 --> 0:05:07.320
<v Speaker 3>That was their reaction to it. However, as incredibly effective

0:05:07.360 --> 0:05:10.279
<v Speaker 3>as Israel's attack was on the senior military leadership, as

0:05:10.279 --> 0:05:14.719
<v Speaker 3>incredibly effective as Israel's bombing attack was on nuclear facilities,

0:05:15.720 --> 0:05:19.960
<v Speaker 3>there were certain facilities they did not have the equipment

0:05:20.040 --> 0:05:23.640
<v Speaker 3>to take out, and chief among those was Fordau. Fordau

0:05:23.760 --> 0:05:27.200
<v Speaker 3>was built into the base of a gigantic mountain, and

0:05:27.240 --> 0:05:32.000
<v Speaker 3>it was built to withstand aerial assaults. So at midnight

0:05:32.040 --> 0:05:35.839
<v Speaker 3>on Friday, the B two strike package left the continental

0:05:36.000 --> 0:05:38.960
<v Speaker 3>United States. Part of the package went east, the other

0:05:39.000 --> 0:05:42.760
<v Speaker 3>part went west as a decoy. The main strike package

0:05:43.240 --> 0:05:47.839
<v Speaker 3>was comprised of seven B two bombers, which flew for

0:05:48.000 --> 0:05:52.400
<v Speaker 3>eighteen hours into the target area. Those seven B two

0:05:52.440 --> 0:05:58.200
<v Speaker 3>bombers dropped fourteen bunker buster bombs. Each of those bombs

0:05:58.279 --> 0:06:01.680
<v Speaker 3>weighs thirty thousand pounds. By the way, this is the

0:06:01.720 --> 0:06:05.039
<v Speaker 3>first battle use of these bombs in history. In addition

0:06:05.120 --> 0:06:09.360
<v Speaker 3>to that, seventy five precision guided weapons were used during

0:06:09.360 --> 0:06:13.760
<v Speaker 3>the operation. More than one hundred and twenty five US

0:06:13.800 --> 0:06:18.560
<v Speaker 3>aircraft participated in the mission, including B two stealth bombers,

0:06:18.960 --> 0:06:23.279
<v Speaker 3>multiple flights of fourth and fifth generation fighters, dozens of

0:06:23.320 --> 0:06:28.240
<v Speaker 3>air refueling tankers, a guided missile submarine, and a full

0:06:28.320 --> 0:06:33.120
<v Speaker 3>array of intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance aircraft, as well as

0:06:33.279 --> 0:06:37.680
<v Speaker 3>hundreds of maintenance and operational professionals. This attack was a

0:06:37.720 --> 0:06:42.640
<v Speaker 3>spectacular success. We had no American casualties. The Iranians did

0:06:42.640 --> 0:06:46.039
<v Speaker 3>not know what was coming, and suddenly the crown jewel

0:06:46.080 --> 0:06:50.599
<v Speaker 3>of their nuclear weapon operation was destroyed, was devastated, was

0:06:50.640 --> 0:06:54.680
<v Speaker 3>on fire. Let me start by saying congratulations to the

0:06:54.680 --> 0:06:58.839
<v Speaker 3>incredible airmen who led this attack, the fighting servicemen and

0:06:58.880 --> 0:07:02.279
<v Speaker 3>women who us their lives this was a dangerous combat

0:07:02.320 --> 0:07:05.919
<v Speaker 3>operation and who carried it out with absolute precision. But

0:07:05.960 --> 0:07:09.479
<v Speaker 3>I also want to praise President Trump for having the

0:07:09.520 --> 0:07:13.760
<v Speaker 3>strength of resolve to say we will not allow Iran

0:07:13.840 --> 0:07:15.840
<v Speaker 3>to have a nuclear weapon, and we will do whatever

0:07:15.880 --> 0:07:18.840
<v Speaker 3>it takes to stop it. He was exactly right. I

0:07:18.920 --> 0:07:22.920
<v Speaker 3>stand with President Trump, and tonight we are saluting our

0:07:23.000 --> 0:07:26.040
<v Speaker 3>brave servicemen and women and the commander in chief who

0:07:26.200 --> 0:07:28.000
<v Speaker 3>sent them out to keep America safe.

0:07:28.920 --> 0:07:31.200
<v Speaker 1>I want to ask you a question, and we're gonna

0:07:31.240 --> 0:07:34.280
<v Speaker 1>go backwards and talk more obviously about this attack and

0:07:34.320 --> 0:07:37.160
<v Speaker 1>how important it is. But there is a new headline

0:07:37.160 --> 0:07:39.000
<v Speaker 1>and a real concern that has come up, and that

0:07:39.200 --> 0:07:41.640
<v Speaker 1>is about, Okay, how will I ran retaliate?

0:07:41.720 --> 0:07:42.120
<v Speaker 2>Senator?

0:07:42.520 --> 0:07:45.400
<v Speaker 1>And one of the big concerns that's really been brought up.

0:07:45.440 --> 0:07:47.880
<v Speaker 1>It's being written about right now. I'm seeing articles of

0:07:47.960 --> 0:07:51.680
<v Speaker 1>pop left and right on this is the possibility of

0:07:51.920 --> 0:07:54.720
<v Speaker 1>Iranian sleeper sales in the US. You and I have

0:07:54.760 --> 0:07:57.960
<v Speaker 1>been talking about this now Unfortunately for years that the

0:07:58.160 --> 0:08:02.200
<v Speaker 1>wide open southern border was allowing for people on the

0:08:02.280 --> 0:08:05.000
<v Speaker 1>terrorists watch list to get into this country. And the

0:08:05.120 --> 0:08:09.720
<v Speaker 1>numbers are also I think shocking of how many Iranians

0:08:09.760 --> 0:08:12.960
<v Speaker 1>came across our southern border that we just are the

0:08:12.960 --> 0:08:15.560
<v Speaker 1>Biden administration. I say, just let them in to this

0:08:15.680 --> 0:08:18.840
<v Speaker 1>country and let him walk freely, and we just let

0:08:18.920 --> 0:08:21.320
<v Speaker 1>him go. And that is something that every American should

0:08:21.320 --> 0:08:22.720
<v Speaker 1>be really concerned about right now.

0:08:23.280 --> 0:08:23.720
<v Speaker 4>Yeah.

0:08:23.760 --> 0:08:27.360
<v Speaker 3>Absolutely, it is a very dangerous time. And understand I

0:08:27.400 --> 0:08:30.760
<v Speaker 3>am not remotely pollyannish about the threats we are facing.

0:08:31.680 --> 0:08:34.080
<v Speaker 3>You know. You and I talked in the last podcast

0:08:34.120 --> 0:08:36.360
<v Speaker 3>about the interview I did with Tucker Carlson where he

0:08:36.400 --> 0:08:39.760
<v Speaker 3>got all agitated and said, well, it could be dangerous

0:08:39.760 --> 0:08:42.200
<v Speaker 3>if we attack Iran, that all sorts of bad things

0:08:42.200 --> 0:08:45.600
<v Speaker 3>could happen. I don't deny that. Yes, it is very

0:08:45.720 --> 0:08:48.520
<v Speaker 3>very dangerous right now. I just think it is more

0:08:48.600 --> 0:08:52.360
<v Speaker 3>dangerous to have a theocratic lunatic like the Ayatola who

0:08:52.440 --> 0:08:55.160
<v Speaker 3>chanced death to America and death to Israel, who calls

0:08:55.640 --> 0:08:58.360
<v Speaker 3>Israel the Little Satan and calls America the Great Satan.

0:08:58.480 --> 0:09:01.400
<v Speaker 3>To let a lunatic like that have nuclear weapons which

0:09:01.480 --> 0:09:04.439
<v Speaker 3>could kill millions of Americans. One of the things to

0:09:04.520 --> 0:09:08.000
<v Speaker 3>understand You know, a lot of the commentators, particularly those

0:09:08.200 --> 0:09:10.360
<v Speaker 3>who don't want to see US stand up to Iran,

0:09:10.760 --> 0:09:12.800
<v Speaker 3>they say, this is all for Israel, This is all

0:09:12.840 --> 0:09:15.160
<v Speaker 3>for Israel. Listen, I agree with President Trump, we should

0:09:15.200 --> 0:09:19.240
<v Speaker 3>stand unshakably with Israel. But understand what happened this weekend.

0:09:19.280 --> 0:09:21.280
<v Speaker 3>This was not for Israel. This was for the United

0:09:21.280 --> 0:09:26.319
<v Speaker 3>States of America. Why because the Iyatola is actively developing

0:09:26.360 --> 0:09:31.319
<v Speaker 3>an ICBM program. What does ICBM stand for intercontinental ballistic

0:09:31.360 --> 0:09:35.280
<v Speaker 3>missile Ben You don't need an ICBM to go from

0:09:35.280 --> 0:09:40.600
<v Speaker 3>Iran to Israel. That's not intercontinental. Iran is right now

0:09:40.760 --> 0:09:46.480
<v Speaker 3>firing hundreds of ballistic missiles into Israel. They need an

0:09:46.720 --> 0:09:49.720
<v Speaker 3>ICBM for one purpose and one purpose only, which is

0:09:49.760 --> 0:09:52.640
<v Speaker 3>to carry a nuclear warhead from Iran to the United

0:09:52.679 --> 0:09:56.520
<v Speaker 3>States of America. They were actively developing the capability to

0:09:56.679 --> 0:10:00.000
<v Speaker 3>detonate a nuclear bomb over a major American hit city,

0:10:00.200 --> 0:10:03.400
<v Speaker 3>whether New York or Washington, d C. Or Los Angeles.

0:10:03.840 --> 0:10:07.040
<v Speaker 3>And the President acted decisively to say he's not willing

0:10:07.080 --> 0:10:09.960
<v Speaker 3>to wake up on mourning and discover that millions of

0:10:10.000 --> 0:10:13.959
<v Speaker 3>Americans have been murdered because the commander in chief didn't act.

0:10:14.160 --> 0:10:14.920
<v Speaker 2>This was a.

0:10:14.840 --> 0:10:18.480
<v Speaker 3>Threat to America. Now, what are the potential escalations. They're

0:10:18.520 --> 0:10:22.920
<v Speaker 3>really threefold. The most likely is a continued and even

0:10:22.960 --> 0:10:27.800
<v Speaker 3>an escalated barrage on Israeli civilians. More ballistic missiles being

0:10:27.880 --> 0:10:31.400
<v Speaker 3>launched into Israel, targeting civilians, and I think there's a

0:10:31.520 --> 0:10:34.800
<v Speaker 3>very real possibility that we will see potentially hundreds of

0:10:34.880 --> 0:10:40.440
<v Speaker 3>Israelis killed in the days ahead. That that's Iran striking back.

0:10:41.040 --> 0:10:46.000
<v Speaker 3>Israel and the United States both targeted military facilities, military leaders.

0:10:46.080 --> 0:10:49.439
<v Speaker 3>Iran is not doing that. Iran is not targeting military facilities.

0:10:49.600 --> 0:10:52.640
<v Speaker 3>They're deliberately targeting civilians. They're trying to kill little ladies,

0:10:52.679 --> 0:10:54.720
<v Speaker 3>They're trying to kill children, they're trying to kill babies.

0:10:55.000 --> 0:10:59.280
<v Speaker 3>They're lobbing missiles into densely populated urban environments, hoping to

0:10:59.360 --> 0:11:03.400
<v Speaker 3>kill as many Jews as possible. That's one escalation. A

0:11:03.520 --> 0:11:07.040
<v Speaker 3>second escalation that is a very real possibility is an

0:11:07.040 --> 0:11:10.480
<v Speaker 3>attack on US servicemen and women in the Middle East.

0:11:10.520 --> 0:11:12.920
<v Speaker 3>And we have thousands of servicemen and women's station in

0:11:12.960 --> 0:11:16.280
<v Speaker 3>the Middle East. Now, I will tell you President Trump

0:11:16.280 --> 0:11:20.000
<v Speaker 3>has made unequivocally clear to Iran, do not do this.

0:11:20.200 --> 0:11:24.200
<v Speaker 3>If you kill American servicemen and women, the consequences will

0:11:24.240 --> 0:11:26.880
<v Speaker 3>be massive. I spoke with President Trump just over a

0:11:26.920 --> 0:11:29.559
<v Speaker 3>week ago, and I said, as President, thank you, thank

0:11:29.600 --> 0:11:33.040
<v Speaker 3>you for making that clear. You are keeping our servicemen

0:11:33.080 --> 0:11:37.360
<v Speaker 3>and women alive because Iran knows the consequences of attacking

0:11:37.400 --> 0:11:39.880
<v Speaker 3>them and trying to kill them are massive. But that's

0:11:39.920 --> 0:11:42.800
<v Speaker 3>a second escalation that is entirely possible. We could face

0:11:42.880 --> 0:11:46.520
<v Speaker 3>that in the coming days. The third escalation, ben is

0:11:46.520 --> 0:11:49.920
<v Speaker 3>the one you referenced, which is terrorism here in the

0:11:50.000 --> 0:11:53.320
<v Speaker 3>United States or abroad. But in the United States in particular,

0:11:54.480 --> 0:11:57.280
<v Speaker 3>we had four years of open borders under Joe Biden.

0:11:57.360 --> 0:12:00.480
<v Speaker 3>We had twelve million Elie immigrants flood into this country.

0:12:00.880 --> 0:12:02.880
<v Speaker 3>And I think there is the very real risk of

0:12:02.920 --> 0:12:07.679
<v Speaker 3>sleeper cells, of Iranian sleeper cells carrying out an active terrorism,

0:12:07.720 --> 0:12:12.040
<v Speaker 3>whether targeted at US servicemen and women, are targeted at civilians,

0:12:12.040 --> 0:12:15.320
<v Speaker 3>targeted at a shopping mall, targeted as a sporting event,

0:12:15.400 --> 0:12:18.840
<v Speaker 3>targeted at some place where they could commit a significant,

0:12:19.000 --> 0:12:21.920
<v Speaker 3>active mass murder. I pray that that does not happen.

0:12:22.320 --> 0:12:25.319
<v Speaker 3>I am confident that the Trump administration is doing everything humanly

0:12:25.360 --> 0:12:28.120
<v Speaker 3>possible to protect against it. But the odds of that

0:12:28.160 --> 0:12:30.240
<v Speaker 3>have gone up, and so all of us need to

0:12:30.320 --> 0:12:35.000
<v Speaker 3>number one, be praying, Be praying for our friends in Israel,

0:12:35.120 --> 0:12:37.520
<v Speaker 3>be praying for our servicemen and women in harm's way,

0:12:37.960 --> 0:12:41.160
<v Speaker 3>and be praying here in America that we not face

0:12:41.800 --> 0:12:45.520
<v Speaker 3>a major active terrorism. But secondly, we need to be vigilant.

0:12:45.520 --> 0:12:48.520
<v Speaker 3>We need to be watching because it is dangerous right now.

0:12:49.240 --> 0:12:53.480
<v Speaker 3>But understand, even if some or all of these escalations happen,

0:12:54.320 --> 0:12:58.520
<v Speaker 3>these escalations are less dangerous than what the world would

0:12:58.559 --> 0:13:01.440
<v Speaker 3>be like with the Ayatola with a nuclear weapon that

0:13:01.480 --> 0:13:05.199
<v Speaker 3>he could use to murder millions of Americans. The chances

0:13:05.200 --> 0:13:08.600
<v Speaker 3>of that scenario have dropped dramatically this weekend because of

0:13:08.640 --> 0:13:10.840
<v Speaker 3>President Trump's strong, decisive leadership.

0:13:11.400 --> 0:13:13.400
<v Speaker 1>You know, you hear the numbers, by the way, and

0:13:13.520 --> 0:13:16.079
<v Speaker 1>I just want everyone to hear what Tom Homan had

0:13:16.120 --> 0:13:19.960
<v Speaker 1>to say on Fox News Sunday morning. He was talking

0:13:20.240 --> 0:13:24.440
<v Speaker 1>about the number of nationals of Iran released into the

0:13:24.440 --> 0:13:26.480
<v Speaker 1>interior of this country. We don't know where they are.

0:13:26.600 --> 0:13:27.880
<v Speaker 1>Here's what he said about it.

0:13:28.240 --> 0:13:30.480
<v Speaker 5>So I put numbers this morning just from a CBP

0:13:30.640 --> 0:13:34.240
<v Speaker 5>under Joe Biden, who was one two hundred and seventy

0:13:34.240 --> 0:13:38.439
<v Speaker 5>two nationals Iran releasing the country between OFO and and

0:13:38.559 --> 0:13:41.400
<v Speaker 5>the Borbtrow and you compare that to the Trump administration.

0:13:41.600 --> 0:13:44.839
<v Speaker 5>Zero right, zero releases and right now, because of President

0:13:44.880 --> 0:13:47.880
<v Speaker 5>Trump's leadership, we have the most secure border in my lifetime,

0:13:47.920 --> 0:13:50.200
<v Speaker 5>most secure border in history of this nation. So we

0:13:50.280 --> 0:13:53.320
<v Speaker 5>have a secure border. So that was a President Trump's

0:13:53.480 --> 0:13:55.640
<v Speaker 5>big win on secure of this nation. So we're not

0:13:55.679 --> 0:13:58.040
<v Speaker 5>releasing people in this country, especially interests Aliens. I don't

0:13:58.040 --> 0:14:00.920
<v Speaker 5>crossed that border undetected. But under Joe Biden, we had

0:14:00.920 --> 0:14:03.520
<v Speaker 5>over ten million people across that border. But my biggest

0:14:03.520 --> 0:14:06.240
<v Speaker 5>concern from day one, beyond the fat and all beyond

0:14:06.280 --> 0:14:09.040
<v Speaker 5>the sex trafficking women and children, were the two man

0:14:09.200 --> 0:14:12.400
<v Speaker 5>known godaways. Over two million people cross that border. We

0:14:12.480 --> 0:14:14.880
<v Speaker 5>don't know who they are, where they came from, because

0:14:14.920 --> 0:14:17.719
<v Speaker 5>they got away because Bordatal was so overwhelmed with the

0:14:17.840 --> 0:14:21.160
<v Speaker 5>humanitarian crisis that Biden created that over two million people

0:14:21.160 --> 0:14:23.880
<v Speaker 5>across the border and got away. That is my biggest concern,

0:14:23.920 --> 0:14:27.440
<v Speaker 5>and that's what created the biggest national security vulnerability this

0:14:27.520 --> 0:14:28.360
<v Speaker 5>country's ever seen.

0:14:29.040 --> 0:14:31.200
<v Speaker 1>You listen to the way he describes this center and

0:14:31.560 --> 0:14:35.320
<v Speaker 1>he's talking about look Iran wanting to hurt us and

0:14:35.400 --> 0:14:39.320
<v Speaker 1>the possibility of sleeper sells here directly is a border

0:14:39.400 --> 0:14:43.480
<v Speaker 1>security issue. And so this brings two of the biggest

0:14:43.480 --> 0:14:45.480
<v Speaker 1>reasons why so many people listening to the show voted

0:14:45.520 --> 0:14:47.880
<v Speaker 1>for Donald Trump. Why you advocated and supported him and

0:14:47.920 --> 0:14:49.960
<v Speaker 1>voted for him as well? And I did too, And

0:14:50.040 --> 0:14:52.920
<v Speaker 1>it seems like, Look, Iran is in essence been waging

0:14:52.920 --> 0:14:55.640
<v Speaker 1>a slow war on the US and our allies. The

0:14:55.640 --> 0:14:58.440
<v Speaker 1>Biden administration was asleep, the EU was asleep, how the

0:14:58.520 --> 0:15:02.160
<v Speaker 1>UN was asleep, and advocate for ran now and literally

0:15:03.240 --> 0:15:08.000
<v Speaker 1>we now understand how vulnerable we are because of their actions.

0:15:08.600 --> 0:15:14.080
<v Speaker 3>Twelve hundred Iranian illegal immigrants released into this country by

0:15:14.160 --> 0:15:17.920
<v Speaker 3>Joe Biden. The Democrats in any sane world, every Democrat

0:15:17.920 --> 0:15:22.240
<v Speaker 3>in Congress tomorrow would be asked, why did you release

0:15:22.400 --> 0:15:26.880
<v Speaker 3>one thousand, two hundred Iranian illegal immigrants into America? Are

0:15:26.880 --> 0:15:30.040
<v Speaker 3>you worried about terrorism from the one thousand, two hundred

0:15:30.080 --> 0:15:34.360
<v Speaker 3>Iranian illegal immigrants you released into America? What possible interest

0:15:34.680 --> 0:15:38.880
<v Speaker 3>did America have in releasing these? The contrast, under President Trump,

0:15:38.960 --> 0:15:41.640
<v Speaker 3>the number is zero, which is what Tom Homan just

0:15:41.680 --> 0:15:44.520
<v Speaker 3>said there. Look, this is an enormous difference. And by

0:15:44.560 --> 0:15:47.280
<v Speaker 3>the way, twelve hundred does not limit it. Those are

0:15:47.320 --> 0:15:50.520
<v Speaker 3>the ones we know they released, as as Homan rightly noted,

0:15:51.040 --> 0:15:54.880
<v Speaker 3>the even more troubling number is two million got aways.

0:15:54.960 --> 0:15:57.360
<v Speaker 3>So it could be thousands, it could be tens of

0:15:57.440 --> 0:15:58.920
<v Speaker 3>thousands of Iranians.

0:15:58.920 --> 0:15:59.440
<v Speaker 4>We don't know.

0:15:59.480 --> 0:16:01.800
<v Speaker 3>We just know there are over two million people that

0:16:01.840 --> 0:16:04.640
<v Speaker 3>we have signs they crossed the border and they got away,

0:16:04.720 --> 0:16:08.560
<v Speaker 3>they evaded detection. So some combination of those are murderers,

0:16:08.600 --> 0:16:11.520
<v Speaker 3>some are rapists, some are child molesters, some are gang

0:16:11.600 --> 0:16:14.800
<v Speaker 3>members from Venezuela or elsewhere. And some of those, in

0:16:15.440 --> 0:16:20.880
<v Speaker 3>overwhelming likelihood are terrorists, whether Hamas terrorists, Hesbola terrorist, Palestinian

0:16:20.960 --> 0:16:26.200
<v Speaker 3>Islamic jihad terrorist, or specifically Iranian terrorists. But the danger

0:16:26.440 --> 0:16:29.600
<v Speaker 3>is serious, and I will say this is a time

0:16:29.640 --> 0:16:32.840
<v Speaker 3>for law enforcement and every jurisdiction to be vigilant and

0:16:32.880 --> 0:16:36.240
<v Speaker 3>for citizens to be vigilant, to watch. And you know,

0:16:36.280 --> 0:16:40.440
<v Speaker 3>in the wake of nine to eleven, it was frequently repeated,

0:16:40.440 --> 0:16:43.600
<v Speaker 3>if you see something, say something, this is a dangerous time.

0:16:43.640 --> 0:16:46.320
<v Speaker 3>I wish it were not so dangerous, but four years

0:16:46.360 --> 0:16:51.120
<v Speaker 3>of open borders exposed real vulnerabilities to us. And the

0:16:51.120 --> 0:16:53.200
<v Speaker 3>one thing I'll say is I have confidence that the

0:16:53.200 --> 0:16:57.960
<v Speaker 3>Trump administration is doing everything humanly possible to keep us safe,

0:16:58.000 --> 0:16:59.120
<v Speaker 3>and I think that's important.

0:16:59.160 --> 0:17:02.320
<v Speaker 1>Especially now, Let's talk a little bit about the liberal

0:17:02.360 --> 0:17:04.640
<v Speaker 1>logic that has been coming out of so many Democrats

0:17:04.680 --> 0:17:08.600
<v Speaker 1>since this attack took place. And the people who seem

0:17:08.640 --> 0:17:13.600
<v Speaker 1>to be obsessing over Iran's response, implying that their response

0:17:13.680 --> 0:17:17.080
<v Speaker 1>is Donald Trump's fault that they're going to respond, are

0:17:17.119 --> 0:17:21.240
<v Speaker 1>the same idiots that we're not afraid of Iran getting

0:17:21.240 --> 0:17:24.200
<v Speaker 1>a nuclear weapon. Can you explain that liberal logic please?

0:17:25.000 --> 0:17:29.360
<v Speaker 3>Sadly, today's Democrat party sides with every enemy of America.

0:17:29.480 --> 0:17:31.120
<v Speaker 3>They side on the other side.

0:17:32.320 --> 0:17:32.600
<v Speaker 6>Look.

0:17:33.520 --> 0:17:38.000
<v Speaker 3>Jk Rowling tweeted this weekend about this person, India Willoughby.

0:17:38.040 --> 0:17:40.959
<v Speaker 3>Now I'll confess I have no idea who India Willoughby is.

0:17:41.000 --> 0:17:44.720
<v Speaker 3>But JK Rowling tweeted, India a fan of women, hating

0:17:44.760 --> 0:17:49.879
<v Speaker 3>gay hating, authoritating authoritarian regime. Color me astonished. So I

0:17:49.920 --> 0:17:52.600
<v Speaker 3>went and googled who is this India Willoughby person? And

0:17:52.880 --> 0:17:57.320
<v Speaker 3>it turns out, according to Wikipedia quote, she is Britain's

0:17:57.400 --> 0:18:04.200
<v Speaker 3>first transgender national television newsreader. Now pause for a second.

0:18:04.200 --> 0:18:10.520
<v Speaker 3>Ben Iran murders transgender people. They throw them off buildings.

0:18:10.520 --> 0:18:14.880
<v Speaker 3>If you are gay, they murder you and think about

0:18:15.000 --> 0:18:21.480
<v Speaker 3>the mindset of a leftist who this transgender newsreader in

0:18:21.720 --> 0:18:26.600
<v Speaker 3>I guess the UK is like, even though the Iahtola

0:18:26.680 --> 0:18:30.200
<v Speaker 3>wants to murder me, I stand with the Ayatola rather

0:18:30.280 --> 0:18:34.280
<v Speaker 3>than America. That is how messed up leftists are right now.

0:18:34.280 --> 0:18:41.080
<v Speaker 3>They're like, oh, homicidal theocratic women are pressing gay murdering, torturing,

0:18:42.640 --> 0:18:45.520
<v Speaker 3>genocidal lunatics. Those are my people.

0:18:46.960 --> 0:18:48.840
<v Speaker 1>It doesn't make any sense to me. And then you

0:18:48.920 --> 0:18:52.920
<v Speaker 1>go back to also the quotes that people have been posting,

0:18:53.000 --> 0:18:56.080
<v Speaker 1>and I think it's really important that history reflect. You

0:18:56.160 --> 0:18:58.720
<v Speaker 1>go back to Bill Clinton, senator and he said that

0:18:58.760 --> 0:19:02.320
<v Speaker 1>Iran couldn't get a nuclear way. Hillary Quinton when she

0:19:02.440 --> 0:19:05.320
<v Speaker 1>was a senator, Secretary of State and running for president,

0:19:05.440 --> 0:19:09.480
<v Speaker 1>said Iran cannot get a nuclear weapon. Barack Obama said

0:19:09.720 --> 0:19:12.640
<v Speaker 1>that he cannot get a nuclear weapon. You had Joe

0:19:12.680 --> 0:19:15.280
<v Speaker 1>Biden that said they couldn't get a nuclear weapon, and

0:19:15.320 --> 0:19:19.680
<v Speaker 1>then they're at sixty plus percent and Donald Trump stops them,

0:19:19.720 --> 0:19:22.199
<v Speaker 1>and then all of the lefts like, you can't do that.

0:19:22.320 --> 0:19:24.520
<v Speaker 1>You're going to start World War three. This is somehow

0:19:24.560 --> 0:19:26.040
<v Speaker 1>your fault. You're the aggressor.

0:19:27.000 --> 0:19:29.760
<v Speaker 3>And understand the reason we are here is because of

0:19:30.040 --> 0:19:34.639
<v Speaker 3>Barack Obama and Joe Biden. Barack Obama negotiated the disastrous

0:19:34.680 --> 0:19:39.360
<v Speaker 3>Iran nuclear deal that flooded billions and billions of dollars

0:19:39.359 --> 0:19:42.879
<v Speaker 3>into Iran. Listen, remember Obama literally flew one point seven

0:19:42.960 --> 0:19:46.320
<v Speaker 3>billion dollars of cash unmarked bills on a pallet to

0:19:46.440 --> 0:19:50.359
<v Speaker 3>deliver to the Iyahtola. That agreement set the stage for

0:19:50.480 --> 0:19:53.960
<v Speaker 3>Iran to get nuclear weapons. Donald Trump when he came

0:19:54.000 --> 0:19:55.000
<v Speaker 3>in as president.

0:19:54.840 --> 0:19:59.480
<v Speaker 1>For a second, and just now, in hindsight, what really

0:19:59.560 --> 0:20:02.120
<v Speaker 1>was that was that dal a, Hey, I don't want

0:20:02.119 --> 0:20:04.040
<v Speaker 1>to have to deal with you guys, so let's just

0:20:04.160 --> 0:20:06.440
<v Speaker 1>you kind of play nice with me and then I'll

0:20:06.560 --> 0:20:08.679
<v Speaker 1>kick the can down the road to another administration.

0:20:08.920 --> 0:20:11.639
<v Speaker 2>Like, in hindsight, what was that? Why did we do

0:20:11.760 --> 0:20:12.200
<v Speaker 2>that deal?

0:20:13.080 --> 0:20:16.320
<v Speaker 3>It was radical ideology. You know, when Barack Obama first

0:20:16.320 --> 0:20:19.119
<v Speaker 3>became president, he went and gave a speech at the

0:20:19.200 --> 0:20:22.560
<v Speaker 3>University of Cairo in Egypt, and in that speech he

0:20:22.640 --> 0:20:26.040
<v Speaker 3>said Iran has a right and he used the word right,

0:20:26.720 --> 0:20:30.760
<v Speaker 3>a right to nuclear technology. Now that is nutty. That

0:20:30.960 --> 0:20:34.000
<v Speaker 3>that is, I'm familiar with the right to the pursuit

0:20:34.040 --> 0:20:37.080
<v Speaker 3>of happiness. I'm not familiar with a right to possess

0:20:37.200 --> 0:20:41.399
<v Speaker 3>thermonuclear weapons. And at the end of the day, I

0:20:41.440 --> 0:20:44.679
<v Speaker 3>think Barack Obama and his entire team came in with

0:20:44.720 --> 0:20:48.800
<v Speaker 3>an ideological view that America's role in the world is

0:20:48.840 --> 0:20:52.520
<v Speaker 3>fundamentally illegitimate, that we are colonial oppressors. Look, as you know,

0:20:52.600 --> 0:20:55.960
<v Speaker 3>my last book was Unwoke, How to Defeat Cultural Marxism

0:20:55.960 --> 0:20:59.280
<v Speaker 3>in America. These are the cultural Marxists. They view America

0:20:59.320 --> 0:21:04.480
<v Speaker 3>as illegitimate and therefore they viewed that we have no business,

0:21:04.480 --> 0:21:08.639
<v Speaker 3>we have no right stopping Iran from getting nuclear weapons. Listen,

0:21:09.400 --> 0:21:12.639
<v Speaker 3>the Obama Ran nuclear deal would inevitably lead to a

0:21:12.720 --> 0:21:15.359
<v Speaker 3>Ran with nuclear weapons. These guys are not idiots. They

0:21:15.440 --> 0:21:20.040
<v Speaker 3>knew that They're fine with that outcome because they believe

0:21:20.080 --> 0:21:22.240
<v Speaker 3>America has no right to prevent it. My view is,

0:21:22.359 --> 0:21:25.200
<v Speaker 3>yes we do. If you've got a lunatic who's saying

0:21:25.280 --> 0:21:27.760
<v Speaker 3>death to America and we have the power to stop

0:21:27.800 --> 0:21:30.399
<v Speaker 3>him from getting nuclear weapons, we will use that power

0:21:30.880 --> 0:21:34.320
<v Speaker 3>because the commander in chief is not going to fail

0:21:34.400 --> 0:21:36.440
<v Speaker 3>to protect America. And I got to say, by the way,

0:21:36.800 --> 0:21:39.280
<v Speaker 3>the useful idiots across the globe a You've got the

0:21:39.280 --> 0:21:42.399
<v Speaker 3>Democrats today who are all chirping about how dare you

0:21:42.520 --> 0:21:44.600
<v Speaker 3>act to stop I Ran from getting a nuclear weapon.

0:21:45.080 --> 0:21:49.360
<v Speaker 3>We also had the Secretary of the United Nations, Antonio Guterras,

0:21:49.680 --> 0:21:51.159
<v Speaker 3>who put out a statement. I'm going to read it

0:21:51.200 --> 0:21:54.600
<v Speaker 3>to you. Quote I am gravely alarmed by the use

0:21:54.640 --> 0:21:57.960
<v Speaker 3>of force by the United States against Iran today. This

0:21:58.119 --> 0:22:01.479
<v Speaker 3>is a dangerous escalation in a region already on the edge,

0:22:01.840 --> 0:22:06.040
<v Speaker 3>and a direct threat to international peace and security. There

0:22:06.119 --> 0:22:09.640
<v Speaker 3>is a growing risk that this conflict could rapidly get

0:22:09.680 --> 0:22:13.399
<v Speaker 3>out of control, with catastrophic consequences for civilians, the region,

0:22:13.440 --> 0:22:16.720
<v Speaker 3>and the world. I call on member states to de

0:22:16.920 --> 0:22:20.440
<v Speaker 3>escalate and to uphold their obligations under the UN Charter

0:22:20.520 --> 0:22:24.280
<v Speaker 3>and other rules of international law. At this perilous hour,

0:22:24.760 --> 0:22:28.280
<v Speaker 3>it is critical to avoid a spiral of chaos. There

0:22:28.480 --> 0:22:32.680
<v Speaker 3>is no military solution. The only path forward is diplomacy.

0:22:32.800 --> 0:22:37.720
<v Speaker 3>The only hope is peace. What a blithering idiot. I'll

0:22:37.720 --> 0:22:40.800
<v Speaker 3>tell you what I tweeted today. I tweeted, of course,

0:22:41.280 --> 0:22:45.160
<v Speaker 3>the UN sides with Iran. Clown face emoji clown face,

0:22:45.200 --> 0:22:50.159
<v Speaker 3>emoji clown face emergent. The only thing they couldn't decide

0:22:50.800 --> 0:22:55.080
<v Speaker 3>is which chant they agree with more strongly. Quote death

0:22:55.119 --> 0:22:59.199
<v Speaker 3>to Israel or quote death to America. And then I

0:22:59.200 --> 0:23:03.200
<v Speaker 3>asked a simple question, uestion, Remind me again why we're

0:23:03.240 --> 0:23:04.119
<v Speaker 3>paying their bills.

0:23:04.800 --> 0:23:07.000
<v Speaker 1>It's a fair question, and you've got to wonder what's

0:23:07.040 --> 0:23:09.200
<v Speaker 1>the even point of being involved that this is? This

0:23:09.280 --> 0:23:11.920
<v Speaker 1>is how insane they actually are, so what's.

0:23:11.800 --> 0:23:14.960
<v Speaker 3>Move But by the way, Ben I also observed, I

0:23:15.000 --> 0:23:19.640
<v Speaker 3>think Tehran would make a lovely UN headquarters just located

0:23:19.760 --> 0:23:23.280
<v Speaker 3>right there. Maybe on the smoldering ashes of Fida. We

0:23:23.320 --> 0:23:25.760
<v Speaker 3>can put put the UN there and they can all

0:23:25.800 --> 0:23:28.320
<v Speaker 3>get together with their anti Israel hate and their anti

0:23:28.359 --> 0:23:31.480
<v Speaker 3>American hate and they can sit there and glow radioactive

0:23:31.520 --> 0:23:37.000
<v Speaker 3>while they talk about developing developing nuclear weapons to bomb America.

0:23:37.000 --> 0:23:39.520
<v Speaker 2>At least it would be intellectually honest, like where's the UN.

0:23:39.560 --> 0:23:41.440
<v Speaker 2>It's in Tehran. Okay, that makes sense.

0:23:42.960 --> 0:23:48.360
<v Speaker 3>Look, that's who they This should not be complicated.

0:23:49.280 --> 0:23:49.680
<v Speaker 2>Iran.

0:23:50.640 --> 0:23:53.960
<v Speaker 3>Like, let me ask you, Ben, seriously, put yourself in

0:23:54.320 --> 0:23:57.320
<v Speaker 3>the head of the UN Secretary General. How do you

0:23:57.440 --> 0:24:01.080
<v Speaker 3>look at this and say where do I stand with Iran?

0:24:02.000 --> 0:24:04.320
<v Speaker 3>Like what thought pressis goes through your brain?

0:24:04.840 --> 0:24:06.880
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, what's the upside of doing that? And why?

0:24:07.359 --> 0:24:09.920
<v Speaker 1>Especially if you know what Iran just did and how

0:24:09.920 --> 0:24:14.520
<v Speaker 1>many terrorist organizations they've supported that are just beyond I mean,

0:24:14.640 --> 0:24:18.439
<v Speaker 1>factually accurate hamas Hesbah and the UN's like, we got you,

0:24:18.520 --> 0:24:20.680
<v Speaker 1>We're going to cover for you. Don't worry, we got

0:24:20.680 --> 0:24:23.320
<v Speaker 1>your back is And that's the reason why I think

0:24:23.600 --> 0:24:26.159
<v Speaker 1>it delegitimizes the United Nations to the point where I

0:24:26.200 --> 0:24:27.720
<v Speaker 1>just roll my eyes at them. Now I don't pay

0:24:27.720 --> 0:24:28.800
<v Speaker 1>attention to what they say.

0:24:29.600 --> 0:24:31.200
<v Speaker 3>No, no, they're complete zealots.

0:24:31.240 --> 0:24:31.359
<v Speaker 5>Now.

0:24:31.359 --> 0:24:34.240
<v Speaker 3>In contrast, I want you to listen to President Trump's

0:24:34.240 --> 0:24:37.159
<v Speaker 3>Saturday Night as soon as the bombing run was complete,

0:24:37.200 --> 0:24:38.760
<v Speaker 3>give a listen to his address to the nation.

0:24:39.720 --> 0:24:43.640
<v Speaker 6>A short time ago, the US military carried out massive

0:24:43.680 --> 0:24:48.600
<v Speaker 6>precision strikes on the three key nuclear facilities in the

0:24:48.640 --> 0:24:56.840
<v Speaker 6>Iranian regime, Fodeaux, Natance, and s Fahan. Everybody heard those

0:24:56.920 --> 0:25:02.200
<v Speaker 6>names for years as they built this horribly destructive enterprise.

0:25:03.119 --> 0:25:07.440
<v Speaker 6>Our objective was the destruction of Iran's nuclear and richment

0:25:07.600 --> 0:25:11.879
<v Speaker 6>capacity and a stop to the nuclear threat posed by

0:25:11.920 --> 0:25:14.359
<v Speaker 6>the world's number one state sponsor of terror.

0:25:15.000 --> 0:25:17.680
<v Speaker 4>Tonight, I can report to the world that.

0:25:17.520 --> 0:25:24.040
<v Speaker 6>The strikes were a spectacular military success. Iran's key nuclear

0:25:24.080 --> 0:25:29.160
<v Speaker 6>and Richmond facilities have been completely and totally obliterated. Iran,

0:25:29.280 --> 0:25:32.280
<v Speaker 6>the bully of the Middle East, must now make peace.

0:25:33.040 --> 0:25:35.480
<v Speaker 6>If they do not, future attacks would be far.

0:25:35.359 --> 0:25:36.960
<v Speaker 4>Greater and a lot easier.

0:25:37.880 --> 0:25:40.840
<v Speaker 6>For forty years, Iran has been saying death to America,

0:25:41.200 --> 0:25:45.160
<v Speaker 6>death to Israel. They have been killing our people, blowing

0:25:45.160 --> 0:25:48.680
<v Speaker 6>off their arms, blowing off their legs with roadside bombs,

0:25:49.480 --> 0:25:52.639
<v Speaker 6>that was their specialty. We lost over a thousand people,

0:25:53.160 --> 0:25:56.800
<v Speaker 6>and hundreds of thousands throughout the Middle East and around

0:25:56.880 --> 0:25:59.680
<v Speaker 6>the world have died as a direct result of their hate,

0:25:59.680 --> 0:26:05.640
<v Speaker 6>and particular so many were killed by their general Cassem Solomoni.

0:26:06.800 --> 0:26:09.480
<v Speaker 6>I decided a long time ago that I would not

0:26:09.720 --> 0:26:13.199
<v Speaker 6>let this happen. It will not continue. I want to

0:26:13.240 --> 0:26:18.119
<v Speaker 6>thank and congratulate Prime Minister bb netan Yahoo. We worked

0:26:18.119 --> 0:26:21.360
<v Speaker 6>as a team like perhaps no team has ever worked before,

0:26:22.280 --> 0:26:24.879
<v Speaker 6>and we've gone a long way to erasing.

0:26:24.400 --> 0:26:26.000
<v Speaker 4>This horrible threat to Israel.

0:26:26.760 --> 0:26:29.960
<v Speaker 6>I want to thank the Israeli military for the wonderful

0:26:30.040 --> 0:26:33.560
<v Speaker 6>job they've done, and most importantly, I want to congratulate

0:26:33.640 --> 0:26:37.719
<v Speaker 6>the great American patriots who flew those magnificent machines tonight

0:26:38.440 --> 0:26:41.600
<v Speaker 6>and all of the United States military on an operation

0:26:41.760 --> 0:26:44.200
<v Speaker 6>the likes of which the world has not seen in many,

0:26:44.240 --> 0:26:48.760
<v Speaker 6>many decades. Hopefully we will no longer need their services

0:26:48.800 --> 0:26:49.800
<v Speaker 6>and this capacity.

0:26:50.200 --> 0:26:50.960
<v Speaker 4>I hope that's so.

0:26:51.800 --> 0:26:54.480
<v Speaker 6>I also want to congratulate the Chairman of the Joint

0:26:54.520 --> 0:27:00.119
<v Speaker 6>Chiefs of Staff, General Dan Raisin Kane, spectacular General, all

0:27:00.160 --> 0:27:03.960
<v Speaker 6>of the brilliant military minds involved in this attack. With

0:27:04.119 --> 0:27:07.000
<v Speaker 6>all of that being said, this cannot continue. There will

0:27:07.040 --> 0:27:10.320
<v Speaker 6>be either peace or there will be tragedy for a

0:27:10.400 --> 0:27:13.800
<v Speaker 6>ran far greater than we have witnessed over the last

0:27:13.840 --> 0:27:19.480
<v Speaker 6>eight days. Remember, there are many targets left. The night's

0:27:19.640 --> 0:27:22.719
<v Speaker 6>was the most difficult of them all by far, and

0:27:22.800 --> 0:27:27.040
<v Speaker 6>perhaps the most lethal. But if peace does not come quickly,

0:27:27.080 --> 0:27:31.480
<v Speaker 6>we will go after those other targets with precision, speed

0:27:31.640 --> 0:27:35.720
<v Speaker 6>and skill. Most of them can be taken out in

0:27:35.800 --> 0:27:38.879
<v Speaker 6>a matter of minutes. There's no military in the world

0:27:38.920 --> 0:27:42.159
<v Speaker 6>that could have done what we did tonight, not even close.

0:27:42.240 --> 0:27:44.520
<v Speaker 6>There has never been a military that could do what

0:27:45.160 --> 0:27:49.240
<v Speaker 6>took place just a little while ago. Tomorrow, General Kine,

0:27:49.600 --> 0:27:53.920
<v Speaker 6>Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth will have a press conference

0:27:53.960 --> 0:27:56.800
<v Speaker 6>at eight am at the Pentagon, and I want to

0:27:56.840 --> 0:28:01.920
<v Speaker 6>just thank everybody, and in particular God.

0:28:01.680 --> 0:28:03.960
<v Speaker 4>I want to just say we love you God.

0:28:04.040 --> 0:28:07.680
<v Speaker 6>And we love our great military, protect them. God bless

0:28:08.320 --> 0:28:12.320
<v Speaker 6>the Middle East, God bless Israel, and God bless America.

0:28:12.359 --> 0:28:14.080
<v Speaker 4>Thank you very much, thank you.

0:28:15.359 --> 0:28:16.720
<v Speaker 1>I do got to I have to say. At the

0:28:16.840 --> 0:28:20.320
<v Speaker 1>very end there his part was so sincere about thanking God.

0:28:20.359 --> 0:28:22.960
<v Speaker 1>You could tell he was very concerned about the safety

0:28:23.000 --> 0:28:25.359
<v Speaker 1>of our men and women in uniform. He was so

0:28:25.560 --> 0:28:28.960
<v Speaker 1>thankful for what they did and accomplish. And there was

0:28:29.000 --> 0:28:31.880
<v Speaker 1>also I think a warning in there. We hope that

0:28:31.920 --> 0:28:36.560
<v Speaker 1>they're done right, that their service is finished. That in

0:28:36.600 --> 0:28:40.080
<v Speaker 1>other words, don't mess with us, because if you do,

0:28:40.400 --> 0:28:43.840
<v Speaker 1>you may meet these people. Yet again, we don't want

0:28:43.880 --> 0:28:46.880
<v Speaker 1>to do that. But if you come after American interests,

0:28:47.040 --> 0:28:49.680
<v Speaker 1>we will defend ourselves and we will come after you,

0:28:50.000 --> 0:28:52.920
<v Speaker 1>which brings us to the question center. All right, what's

0:28:53.080 --> 0:28:54.240
<v Speaker 1>next moving forward?

0:28:55.120 --> 0:28:57.880
<v Speaker 3>Well, let me say one thing that struck me listening

0:28:57.880 --> 0:29:01.640
<v Speaker 3>to President Trump on Saturday night, which is the president

0:29:01.680 --> 0:29:04.080
<v Speaker 3>is old enough and I'm old enough to remember the

0:29:04.160 --> 0:29:07.840
<v Speaker 3>nineteen seventies. And Ben, you're ten years younger than I am,

0:29:07.920 --> 0:29:13.680
<v Speaker 3>so you don't remember the seventies. But when Iran took

0:29:14.000 --> 0:29:17.720
<v Speaker 3>American hostages at the embassy, when the Iranian Revolution happened,

0:29:17.760 --> 0:29:21.760
<v Speaker 3>and they took American hostages. Jimmy Carter was president. Jimmy

0:29:21.760 --> 0:29:25.440
<v Speaker 3>Carter sent a military operation, a US military operation to

0:29:25.520 --> 0:29:29.960
<v Speaker 3>rescue the Americans from the embassy. And not all military

0:29:30.000 --> 0:29:34.840
<v Speaker 3>operations happened like the one did this weekend. The Jimmy

0:29:34.920 --> 0:29:39.040
<v Speaker 3>Carter military operation, he sent in helicopters, and the helicopters

0:29:39.160 --> 0:29:44.040
<v Speaker 3>crashed in the desert with no opposing fire. And it

0:29:44.120 --> 0:29:47.920
<v Speaker 3>was a level of ineptitude and incompetence on the part

0:29:47.960 --> 0:29:51.360
<v Speaker 3>of the Carter administration. It played a pivotal role in

0:29:51.480 --> 0:29:55.360
<v Speaker 3>Ronald Reagan winning in nineteen eighty because the inability of

0:29:55.400 --> 0:30:01.120
<v Speaker 3>the president to protect our nation was perfectly encapsule by

0:30:01.240 --> 0:30:04.720
<v Speaker 3>our troops crashing in the desert. When the President, with

0:30:04.840 --> 0:30:06.840
<v Speaker 3>the Commander in chief, gave this order, he didn't know

0:30:06.840 --> 0:30:09.280
<v Speaker 3>what the result would be. It could have resulted in

0:30:09.520 --> 0:30:12.720
<v Speaker 3>an American plane crashing. It could have resulted in an

0:30:12.760 --> 0:30:15.480
<v Speaker 3>American bomber being shot down by a fighter plane. It

0:30:15.520 --> 0:30:19.320
<v Speaker 3>could have resulted in an American bomber being hit by surface

0:30:19.360 --> 0:30:23.840
<v Speaker 3>to air missiles. These are dangerous operations. We had these

0:30:23.920 --> 0:30:27.600
<v Speaker 3>stealth bombers fly halfway around the world carry out an

0:30:27.640 --> 0:30:31.360
<v Speaker 3>incredibly precise precision bombing attack. By the way, it also

0:30:31.360 --> 0:30:34.240
<v Speaker 3>could have resulted in one of the bombs going awry

0:30:34.360 --> 0:30:37.760
<v Speaker 3>and instead of taking out one of these facilities, hitting

0:30:37.800 --> 0:30:42.200
<v Speaker 3>a civilian location and killing a large number of innocent people.

0:30:42.920 --> 0:30:45.720
<v Speaker 3>None of that happened. And I want to credit the military,

0:30:45.760 --> 0:30:49.800
<v Speaker 3>the military for their precise execution of this. But I

0:30:49.840 --> 0:30:53.280
<v Speaker 3>think when the President was thanking God, listen, you and

0:30:53.320 --> 0:30:57.840
<v Speaker 3>I have never been in the position of ordering our

0:30:57.920 --> 0:31:01.239
<v Speaker 3>servicemen and women into combat and circumstance where you know

0:31:01.400 --> 0:31:04.760
<v Speaker 3>that that that order could could literally be sacrificing their lives.

0:31:04.800 --> 0:31:07.640
<v Speaker 3>And I think the President was feeling feeling really real

0:31:07.680 --> 0:31:11.840
<v Speaker 3>gratitude that this this operation proceeded so successfully. It was

0:31:11.880 --> 0:31:13.840
<v Speaker 3>the right thing to do, and even if it had

0:31:13.920 --> 0:31:17.640
<v Speaker 3>proceeded with American casualties, we obviously would not want those casualties.

0:31:17.680 --> 0:31:20.280
<v Speaker 3>But I think the President was very much focused on

0:31:20.360 --> 0:31:26.120
<v Speaker 3>his responsibility to protect American civilians from the threat of

0:31:26.160 --> 0:31:28.640
<v Speaker 3>an Ayatola with a nuclear weapon. That's what he was

0:31:28.720 --> 0:31:32.360
<v Speaker 3>acting decisively to do. This could escalate further, but I

0:31:32.360 --> 0:31:34.760
<v Speaker 3>think the President has laser focused on his job. And

0:31:35.000 --> 0:31:38.440
<v Speaker 3>let me be clear, there's some voices chirping on the

0:31:38.440 --> 0:31:40.760
<v Speaker 3>internet Oh, it's World War three. Oh we're going to

0:31:40.760 --> 0:31:48.040
<v Speaker 3>get drawn into a long foreign entangle. The odds, right,

0:31:48.200 --> 0:31:50.880
<v Speaker 3>the odds of American boots on the ground in Iran

0:31:51.040 --> 0:31:54.600
<v Speaker 3>are essentially zero. No one is advocating that. No one

0:31:54.640 --> 0:31:57.400
<v Speaker 3>wants to see it. I do not believe President Trump

0:31:57.440 --> 0:32:00.800
<v Speaker 3>has any interest in American boots on the ground. I

0:32:00.840 --> 0:32:03.800
<v Speaker 3>don't have any interest in American boots on the ground.

0:32:03.880 --> 0:32:08.240
<v Speaker 3>This was a limited and very targeted bombing run to

0:32:08.400 --> 0:32:12.440
<v Speaker 3>take out Iran's capability to develop nuclear weapons. Nuclear weapons

0:32:12.480 --> 0:32:16.600
<v Speaker 3>they could use to murder Americans. That is peace through strength,

0:32:16.640 --> 0:32:20.080
<v Speaker 3>that is focusing on defending this nation. And so the

0:32:20.640 --> 0:32:24.560
<v Speaker 3>prospect people are saying, oh, this is another Iraq war. Listen,

0:32:24.680 --> 0:32:28.600
<v Speaker 3>I opposed the Iraq War. Donald Trump opposed the Iraq War.

0:32:28.720 --> 0:32:32.200
<v Speaker 3>Nobody wants a long American war in the Middle East.

0:32:32.200 --> 0:32:34.520
<v Speaker 3>But what we do want is what we have a

0:32:34.600 --> 0:32:37.840
<v Speaker 3>commander in chief who is strong and who will act

0:32:37.880 --> 0:32:40.920
<v Speaker 3>decisively to protect our nation. That's what the President did,

0:32:41.760 --> 0:32:44.600
<v Speaker 3>and I for one, am immensely grateful that Donald J.

0:32:44.720 --> 0:32:46.040
<v Speaker 3>Trump is the commander in chief.

0:32:46.080 --> 0:32:50.760
<v Speaker 1>Tonight, final question, and this is what is next. It's

0:32:50.880 --> 0:32:53.440
<v Speaker 1>very clear there's a warning from this president don't screw

0:32:53.480 --> 0:32:57.360
<v Speaker 1>with us moving forward. If Iran is dumb enough to

0:32:57.680 --> 0:33:02.480
<v Speaker 1>retaliate against Americans in the Middle East, maybe even shutting

0:33:02.520 --> 0:33:05.120
<v Speaker 1>down the Straight of hor Moos, what is the presence

0:33:05.320 --> 0:33:07.440
<v Speaker 1>obligation moving forward on that.

0:33:08.360 --> 0:33:10.680
<v Speaker 3>Well, one of the consequences of the bombing run is

0:33:10.720 --> 0:33:13.160
<v Speaker 3>the parliament in Iran did vote to shut down the

0:33:13.160 --> 0:33:16.440
<v Speaker 3>Straits of her Moos. Now, the parliament's not the decision

0:33:16.440 --> 0:33:18.320
<v Speaker 3>maker at the end of the day, the Iatola's the

0:33:18.320 --> 0:33:20.600
<v Speaker 3>decision maker. So it's not clear if Iran is going

0:33:20.600 --> 0:33:23.160
<v Speaker 3>to do so or not. If it did so, it

0:33:23.160 --> 0:33:26.280
<v Speaker 3>would impact America, but it would impact China even more.

0:33:26.560 --> 0:33:29.680
<v Speaker 3>Roughly half of the oil that China uses travels through

0:33:29.720 --> 0:33:32.720
<v Speaker 3>the Straits of hor Moos. A very small percentage of

0:33:32.760 --> 0:33:36.760
<v Speaker 3>American oil travels through there. But that being said, if

0:33:36.760 --> 0:33:38.640
<v Speaker 3>the Straits of her Moves were shut down, it would

0:33:38.680 --> 0:33:42.240
<v Speaker 3>impact America's because it would drive up global oil prices,

0:33:42.280 --> 0:33:44.560
<v Speaker 3>it would drive up gasoline prices at home, and that

0:33:44.840 --> 0:33:48.240
<v Speaker 3>would impact Americans. I hope that doesn't happen. I think

0:33:48.280 --> 0:33:51.440
<v Speaker 3>if they try to shut down those major trade routes

0:33:51.480 --> 0:33:54.680
<v Speaker 3>and commerce fruits, I think we will see we will

0:33:54.680 --> 0:33:57.000
<v Speaker 3>see force to open them. Up because Iran does not

0:33:57.160 --> 0:33:59.959
<v Speaker 3>have the right to shut down the ability of America

0:34:00.040 --> 0:34:01.920
<v Speaker 3>and the rest of the world to engage in trade

0:34:01.920 --> 0:34:05.920
<v Speaker 3>and commerce. That is a possible escalation. I think the

0:34:05.920 --> 0:34:10.080
<v Speaker 3>most likely escalation is going to be continued attax on

0:34:10.200 --> 0:34:13.040
<v Speaker 3>civilians in Israel, because at the end of the day,

0:34:13.080 --> 0:34:15.560
<v Speaker 3>I think the Iatola and the Mullahs they hate the

0:34:15.680 --> 0:34:21.640
<v Speaker 3>Jewish people, and murdering innocent civilians is something that they

0:34:21.680 --> 0:34:25.960
<v Speaker 3>believe in. I worry, as I said, about the risk

0:34:26.040 --> 0:34:29.600
<v Speaker 3>of terrorist attacks as well. I think those are, sadly

0:34:29.640 --> 0:34:32.920
<v Speaker 3>the two most likely the people of Israel. I know

0:34:32.960 --> 0:34:35.800
<v Speaker 3>the government of Israel that the Iron Dome, they're working

0:34:35.840 --> 0:34:38.799
<v Speaker 3>hard to protect their civilians. America is assisting in that,

0:34:39.280 --> 0:34:42.800
<v Speaker 3>and here at home, law enforcement and Homeland Security in

0:34:42.840 --> 0:34:48.160
<v Speaker 3>the Department of Justice are all working hard to intercept

0:34:48.200 --> 0:34:52.920
<v Speaker 3>and stop any terrorist attack before it occurs. But understand,

0:34:52.960 --> 0:34:56.000
<v Speaker 3>these are dangerous times. But they're dangerous times because we

0:34:56.040 --> 0:34:59.040
<v Speaker 3>have enemies that wish to do harm to America. And

0:34:59.400 --> 0:35:02.920
<v Speaker 3>that's why the responsibility that the President has is so

0:35:03.080 --> 0:35:06.240
<v Speaker 3>grave and serious. And I will say, listening to President

0:35:06.239 --> 0:35:09.399
<v Speaker 3>Trump speak Saturday night, I think there are times where

0:35:09.440 --> 0:35:13.080
<v Speaker 3>the weight of the job really falls on his shoulders

0:35:13.120 --> 0:35:15.840
<v Speaker 3>and he feels it. And I think Saturday night was

0:35:15.880 --> 0:35:21.040
<v Speaker 3>one of them because it was an incredibly consequential moment

0:35:21.120 --> 0:35:24.880
<v Speaker 3>in our nation's history and a very positive moment of

0:35:24.920 --> 0:35:28.600
<v Speaker 3>the President standing up and saying, my first responsibility is

0:35:28.600 --> 0:35:32.400
<v Speaker 3>to defend America and I will not shirk from that responsibility.

0:35:32.880 --> 0:35:35.520
