1 00:00:01,080 --> 00:00:04,200 Speaker 1: We start with the big breaking news and that is 2 00:00:04,280 --> 00:00:09,320 Speaker 1: coming out of Israel. Israel has struck Iran, and Iran 3 00:00:09,440 --> 00:00:14,680 Speaker 1: is now confirming that the IRGC terar chief Salami has 4 00:00:14,920 --> 00:00:20,800 Speaker 1: also been eliminated. Benjamin Nettnahu announcing the operation as well, 5 00:00:21,239 --> 00:00:23,880 Speaker 1: talking about what this means. And we also have found 6 00:00:23,920 --> 00:00:27,960 Speaker 1: out that not only did Iran state run Islamic Republic 7 00:00:28,040 --> 00:00:31,800 Speaker 1: News agency confirm in the early hours of Friday morning 8 00:00:32,240 --> 00:00:35,840 Speaker 1: that the Israeli airstrike on targets in the country eliminated 9 00:00:35,840 --> 00:00:41,000 Speaker 1: the major General Salami, the commander of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard. 10 00:00:41,680 --> 00:00:45,960 Speaker 1: Other arms of Iran state news apparatus also confirm this. 11 00:00:46,920 --> 00:00:51,560 Speaker 1: Several high profile regime members, including not one, but two 12 00:00:51,680 --> 00:00:55,600 Speaker 1: of their top nuclear scientists. Now this is obviously massive 13 00:00:56,040 --> 00:00:59,200 Speaker 1: because if you want to take out their nuclear program, 14 00:00:59,560 --> 00:01:03,800 Speaker 1: taking out the scientist behind it is huge. It's very 15 00:01:03,800 --> 00:01:07,040 Speaker 1: hard to get nuclear scientists to defect and come to Iran, 16 00:01:07,440 --> 00:01:11,400 Speaker 1: so taking them out could put back their program literally years. 17 00:01:12,120 --> 00:01:17,920 Speaker 1: They were killed in these strikes, and that is again massive. Now, 18 00:01:18,000 --> 00:01:22,840 Speaker 1: Islami may be by far one of the highest ranking 19 00:01:22,920 --> 00:01:26,600 Speaker 1: Iranian regime officials who have been targeted successfully in the operation. 20 00:01:27,520 --> 00:01:30,319 Speaker 1: He is one of those that was important to take out, 21 00:01:30,400 --> 00:01:32,920 Speaker 1: and Israel had planned this for quite some time and 22 00:01:32,959 --> 00:01:35,559 Speaker 1: they were able to do it. Salami had to stay 23 00:01:35,600 --> 00:01:38,039 Speaker 1: in a place. As one of the most prominent and 24 00:01:38,160 --> 00:01:42,680 Speaker 1: also belligerent senior leaders in the Iranian Islamic regime. He 25 00:01:42,800 --> 00:01:47,560 Speaker 1: regularly threatened attacks on America and Israel, and what was 26 00:01:47,640 --> 00:01:52,560 Speaker 1: perhaps his final public appearance on Thursday, Salami declared that 27 00:01:52,680 --> 00:01:57,720 Speaker 1: his forces were quote war tested and experienced, prepared for 28 00:01:57,840 --> 00:02:01,400 Speaker 1: war against its enemies. Now that was just twenty four 29 00:02:01,440 --> 00:02:06,360 Speaker 1: hours ago. He said that publicly now, the IRGC is 30 00:02:06,440 --> 00:02:09,560 Speaker 1: both a US designated terrorist organization he was in charge 31 00:02:09,560 --> 00:02:13,000 Speaker 1: of it, and a formal wing of the Iranian Armed Forces. 32 00:02:13,440 --> 00:02:17,560 Speaker 1: Among its chief operations is to sustain relations between the 33 00:02:17,600 --> 00:02:22,240 Speaker 1: Iranian terror state and its Jihadis proxies who does That 34 00:02:22,360 --> 00:02:26,560 Speaker 1: include the Huthis and Yemen, the Lebanese Hesblah, and with 35 00:02:26,639 --> 00:02:30,919 Speaker 1: fellow rogue states such as Venezuela and Cuba. The IRNA 36 00:02:31,040 --> 00:02:34,600 Speaker 1: confirmed Solami's death and a brief message that offered no 37 00:02:34,760 --> 00:02:38,639 Speaker 1: details on the occurrence. It just confirmed that Salami died 38 00:02:38,680 --> 00:02:44,240 Speaker 1: in Tehran and claimed him a victim of assassination. Their 39 00:02:44,280 --> 00:02:47,440 Speaker 1: words now also in a separate report, the state news 40 00:02:47,440 --> 00:02:50,840 Speaker 1: outlet confirmed a barrage of air strikes over the capital 41 00:02:50,880 --> 00:02:55,080 Speaker 1: city by the Israeli Air Force. Another Iranian state media outlet, 42 00:02:55,200 --> 00:02:59,919 Speaker 1: press TV, reported early Friday that the strikes had march 43 00:03:00,600 --> 00:03:06,880 Speaker 1: several other senior IRGC commanders and nuclear scientists. So we're 44 00:03:06,919 --> 00:03:10,239 Speaker 1: getting lots of confirmation about how deadly and how surgical 45 00:03:10,280 --> 00:03:14,560 Speaker 1: these strikes were on the top leadership in Iran veteran 46 00:03:14,680 --> 00:03:19,000 Speaker 1: nuclear scientists. Two of them, in fact, they, as they 47 00:03:19,040 --> 00:03:22,560 Speaker 1: described it, were martyred in the attack. Press TV reported, 48 00:03:22,639 --> 00:03:26,959 Speaker 1: adding confirmation from now that at least one Iranian military leader, 49 00:03:27,360 --> 00:03:31,320 Speaker 1: the chief of the Iranian Armed Forces also a major 50 00:03:31,440 --> 00:03:36,480 Speaker 1: General Bagherry, is still alive and in Iran's war room 51 00:03:36,600 --> 00:03:41,480 Speaker 1: quote plotting the nation's response. Now, The Times of Israel, 52 00:03:41,680 --> 00:03:47,119 Speaker 1: citing Iranian state television, reported that Israel apparently also bombed 53 00:03:47,200 --> 00:03:52,120 Speaker 1: one of the most prominent uranium enrichment facilities in the country, 54 00:03:53,040 --> 00:03:58,320 Speaker 1: the facility known as the Natanz facility, and there was 55 00:03:58,480 --> 00:04:02,960 Speaker 1: several hits apparently on that facility. It was scattered among 56 00:04:03,000 --> 00:04:06,520 Speaker 1: anonymous reports as well on social media that this had 57 00:04:06,560 --> 00:04:09,640 Speaker 1: also happened, and we also been told that there was 58 00:04:09,680 --> 00:04:13,880 Speaker 1: disruptions and Iran by undercover MASAD agents have also now 59 00:04:14,000 --> 00:04:16,880 Speaker 1: surfaced that Israel has not confirmed that. I want to 60 00:04:16,880 --> 00:04:20,600 Speaker 1: be clear now. The Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Nettna who 61 00:04:20,800 --> 00:04:24,360 Speaker 1: also confirmed the airstrikes during a national address on Friday morning, 62 00:04:24,760 --> 00:04:30,159 Speaker 1: identifying the strikes as Operation Rising Lion. I want you 63 00:04:30,200 --> 00:04:32,960 Speaker 1: to hear what Netnya who had to say as he 64 00:04:33,000 --> 00:04:36,360 Speaker 1: addressed not only the people of Israel, but also the 65 00:04:36,360 --> 00:04:37,400 Speaker 1: people of the world. 66 00:04:37,720 --> 00:04:43,280 Speaker 2: Moments ago, Israel launched Operation Rising Lion, a targeted military 67 00:04:43,320 --> 00:04:48,560 Speaker 2: operation to roll back the Iranian threat to Israel's very survival. 68 00:04:49,200 --> 00:04:52,120 Speaker 2: This operation will continue for as many days as it 69 00:04:52,160 --> 00:04:56,680 Speaker 2: takes to remove this threat. For decades, the tyrants of 70 00:04:56,720 --> 00:05:02,200 Speaker 2: Tehran have brazenly openly called for Israel's destruction. They've backed 71 00:05:02,240 --> 00:05:06,640 Speaker 2: up their genocidal rhetoric with a program to develop nuclear weapons. 72 00:05:07,520 --> 00:05:11,760 Speaker 2: In recent years, Iran is produced enough highly enriched uranium 73 00:05:12,120 --> 00:05:17,600 Speaker 2: for nine atom bombs. Nine In recent months, Iran has 74 00:05:17,640 --> 00:05:21,279 Speaker 2: taken steps that it has never taken before, steps to 75 00:05:21,400 --> 00:05:25,839 Speaker 2: weaponize this enriched uranium, and if not stopped, Iran could 76 00:05:25,839 --> 00:05:28,960 Speaker 2: produce a nuclear weapon in a very short time. It 77 00:05:29,000 --> 00:05:31,640 Speaker 2: could be a year. It could be within a few months, 78 00:05:31,760 --> 00:05:34,600 Speaker 2: less than a year. This is a clear and present 79 00:05:34,680 --> 00:05:39,599 Speaker 2: danger to Israel's very survival. Eighty years ago, the Jewish 80 00:05:39,640 --> 00:05:43,320 Speaker 2: people were the victims of a holocaust perpetrated by the 81 00:05:43,400 --> 00:05:47,840 Speaker 2: Nazi regime. Today, the Jewish state refuses to be a 82 00:05:47,960 --> 00:05:53,120 Speaker 2: victim of a nuclear holocaust perpetrated by the Uranian regime. Now, 83 00:05:53,160 --> 00:05:56,240 Speaker 2: as Prime Minister, I've made it clear time it again. 84 00:05:57,160 --> 00:06:00,680 Speaker 2: Israel will never allow those who call for our annihilation 85 00:06:01,240 --> 00:06:04,839 Speaker 2: to develop the means to achieve that goal. Tonight, Israel 86 00:06:04,920 --> 00:06:08,640 Speaker 2: backs those words with action. We struck at the heart 87 00:06:08,680 --> 00:06:12,120 Speaker 2: of Iran's nuclear enrichment program. We struck at the heart 88 00:06:12,160 --> 00:06:17,480 Speaker 2: of Iran's nuclear weaponization program. We targeted Iran's main enrichment 89 00:06:17,520 --> 00:06:22,320 Speaker 2: facility in Atans. We targeted Iran's leading nuclear scientists working 90 00:06:22,320 --> 00:06:24,880 Speaker 2: on the Iranian bomb. We also struck at the heart 91 00:06:24,880 --> 00:06:29,880 Speaker 2: of Iran's ballistic missile program. Last year, Iran fired three 92 00:06:29,960 --> 00:06:34,440 Speaker 2: hundred ballistic missiles at Israel. Each of these missiles carries 93 00:06:34,480 --> 00:06:38,480 Speaker 2: a ton of explosives and threatens the lives of hundreds 94 00:06:38,520 --> 00:06:42,800 Speaker 2: of people. Soon, those missiles could carry a nuclear payload, 95 00:06:43,200 --> 00:06:47,400 Speaker 2: threatening the lives not of hundreds, but of millions. Iran 96 00:06:47,520 --> 00:06:50,880 Speaker 2: is gearing up to produce ten thousands of those ballistic 97 00:06:50,920 --> 00:06:52,880 Speaker 2: missiles within three years. 98 00:06:54,040 --> 00:06:54,200 Speaker 3: Now. 99 00:06:54,320 --> 00:06:59,400 Speaker 2: Just imagine imagine ten thousand tons of TNT landing on 100 00:06:59,440 --> 00:07:03,400 Speaker 2: a country the size of New Jersey. This is an 101 00:07:03,400 --> 00:07:07,840 Speaker 2: intolerable threat. It too must be stopped. Iran is now 102 00:07:07,880 --> 00:07:11,560 Speaker 2: working on what it calls the new plan to destroy Israel. 103 00:07:12,560 --> 00:07:16,240 Speaker 2: See the old plan failed. Iran and its proxies try 104 00:07:16,280 --> 00:07:19,080 Speaker 2: to encircle Israel with a ring of fire and to 105 00:07:19,160 --> 00:07:22,920 Speaker 2: attack us with the horrible attack of October seventh. But 106 00:07:23,000 --> 00:07:26,560 Speaker 2: the people of Israel, the soldiers of Israel, rose like 107 00:07:26,680 --> 00:07:29,880 Speaker 2: lions to defend our country. We crushed from as we 108 00:07:30,000 --> 00:07:34,080 Speaker 2: devastated Ribalah, We hid Iranian proxies in Syria and Yemen, 109 00:07:34,480 --> 00:07:37,760 Speaker 2: and when Iran directly attacked us twice last year, we 110 00:07:37,800 --> 00:07:42,680 Speaker 2: struck back inside Iran itself. Yet in defending ourselves, we 111 00:07:42,800 --> 00:07:46,680 Speaker 2: also defend others. We defend our Arab neighbors. They too 112 00:07:46,720 --> 00:07:50,880 Speaker 2: have suffered from Iran's campaign of chaos and carnage. Our 113 00:07:50,920 --> 00:07:54,840 Speaker 2: actions against Iran's proxy Hizballah led to the establishment of 114 00:07:54,920 --> 00:07:58,160 Speaker 2: a new government in Lebanon and the collapse of Asad's 115 00:07:58,200 --> 00:08:02,360 Speaker 2: murderous regime in Syria. The peoples of those two countries 116 00:08:02,720 --> 00:08:06,040 Speaker 2: now have a chance for a different future, a better future. 117 00:08:06,840 --> 00:08:09,720 Speaker 2: So too, to the brave people of Iran, and I 118 00:08:09,760 --> 00:08:13,160 Speaker 2: have a message for them. Our fight is not with you. 119 00:08:14,080 --> 00:08:17,600 Speaker 2: Our fight is with the brutal dictatorship that has oppressed 120 00:08:17,600 --> 00:08:21,120 Speaker 2: you for forty six years. I believe that the day 121 00:08:21,160 --> 00:08:25,200 Speaker 2: of your liberation is near, and when that happens, the 122 00:08:25,200 --> 00:08:29,560 Speaker 2: great friendship between our two ancient peoples will flourish once again. 123 00:08:30,480 --> 00:08:33,760 Speaker 2: I want to assure the civilized world we will not 124 00:08:34,040 --> 00:08:37,440 Speaker 2: let the world's most dangerous regime get the world's most 125 00:08:37,520 --> 00:08:41,760 Speaker 2: dangerous weapons. And Iran plans to give those weapons nuclear 126 00:08:41,800 --> 00:08:45,720 Speaker 2: weapons to its terrorist proxies that would make the nightmare 127 00:08:45,720 --> 00:08:49,880 Speaker 2: of nuclear terrorism all too real. The increasing range of 128 00:08:49,920 --> 00:08:53,880 Speaker 2: Iran's ballistic missiles would bring that nuclear nightmare to the 129 00:08:53,880 --> 00:08:58,400 Speaker 2: cities of Europe and eventually to America. 130 00:08:59,080 --> 00:09:02,000 Speaker 1: Now the Israeli Prime Minister net Now who also confirmed 131 00:09:02,200 --> 00:09:04,640 Speaker 1: that these air strikes may not just be a one 132 00:09:04,760 --> 00:09:07,560 Speaker 1: day and done, saying quote, this operation will continue for 133 00:09:07,600 --> 00:09:10,880 Speaker 1: as many days as it takes, stating that the Iranian 134 00:09:10,920 --> 00:09:14,959 Speaker 1: officials were actively taking steps to weaponize it's enriched uranium 135 00:09:14,960 --> 00:09:18,920 Speaker 1: stockpile and calling on Tehran and saying they're a clear 136 00:09:18,960 --> 00:09:22,760 Speaker 1: and present danger to Israel's survival and also to others 137 00:09:22,800 --> 00:09:26,880 Speaker 1: in the world. Now, Center Cruz and I set down 138 00:09:26,920 --> 00:09:29,400 Speaker 1: for our podcast that we do Verticquate Tech.

Israel has 154 00:10:14,520 --> 00:10:19,520 Speaker 4: taken out the chief of the IRGC. Israel has taken 155 00:10:19,559 --> 00:10:22,960 Speaker 4: out the successor to the chief of the IRGC. Israel 156 00:10:23,040 --> 00:10:28,160 Speaker 4: has decimated Tons, a major nuclear site in Iran, and 157 00:10:28,320 --> 00:10:32,160 Speaker 4: Israel is carrying out multiple military strikes right now as 158 00:10:32,200 --> 00:10:34,800 Speaker 4: we speak. Now, I will say, by the time you 159 00:10:34,840 --> 00:10:37,079 Speaker 4: listen to this podcast, it may be Friday during the 160 00:10:37,120 --> 00:10:39,440 Speaker 4: day and you're listening to the podcast. It may be 161 00:10:39,600 --> 00:10:41,880 Speaker 4: Saturday or Sunday and you're listening to this show on 162 00:10:41,920 --> 00:10:45,280 Speaker 4: the radio. Things may have changed by then. But right 163 00:10:45,320 --> 00:10:48,720 Speaker 4: now we are seeing war in the Middle East. We 164 00:10:48,760 --> 00:10:53,439 Speaker 4: are seeing Israel acting decisively to protect yourself. And I 165 00:10:53,480 --> 00:10:55,400 Speaker 4: will say there are several messages that every one of 166 00:10:55,480 --> 00:10:57,280 Speaker 4: us need to hear, but the two that are most 167 00:10:57,280 --> 00:11:04,000 Speaker 4: important our number one, America stands unequivocally with the state 168 00:11:04,000 --> 00:11:06,200 Speaker 4: of Israel. We are with Israel and her right to 169 00:11:06,200 --> 00:11:11,840 Speaker 4: defend herself with no daylight whatsoever. And number two, a 170 00:11:12,000 --> 00:11:15,760 Speaker 4: message to the Ayatola. We have an enormous number of 171 00:11:15,800 --> 00:11:19,240 Speaker 4: American servicemen and women in harm's way in the Middle East. 172 00:11:19,240 --> 00:11:23,960 Speaker 4: The Iahtola needs to understand if you strike out and 173 00:11:24,080 --> 00:11:27,839 Speaker 4: attack American servicemen and women, if you kill even a 174 00:11:27,920 --> 00:11:32,800 Speaker 4: single American servicemen or women, I am absolutely confident President 175 00:11:32,800 --> 00:11:38,000 Speaker 4: Trump will respond with overwhelming force. And so the Iyahtola 176 00:11:38,120 --> 00:11:42,080 Speaker 4: should know, do not attack America as a response to 177 00:11:42,120 --> 00:11:43,679 Speaker 4: this military assault. 178 00:11:43,960 --> 00:11:47,000 Speaker 1: Amen to that. And look, this is such a hard 179 00:11:47,080 --> 00:11:49,600 Speaker 1: time right now for so many in Israel, and so 180 00:11:49,679 --> 00:11:52,360 Speaker 1: many that listen to the show have asks what can 181 00:11:52,400 --> 00:11:54,199 Speaker 1: I do to help? How do I stand with the 182 00:11:54,240 --> 00:11:56,640 Speaker 1: people in Israel? They need her help now more than ever. 183 00:11:56,760 --> 00:11:58,760 Speaker 1: And that's why I want you to get involved with 184 00:11:58,800 --> 00:12:01,960 Speaker 1: an organization that I'm heavily involved with. It's called the 185 00:12:02,000 --> 00:12:05,520 Speaker 1: International Fellowship of Christians and Jews. And we are seeing 186 00:12:05,559 --> 00:12:09,480 Speaker 1: something that's disturbing, anti Semitism on the rise around the world. 187 00:12:10,400 --> 00:12:13,480 Speaker 1: Sadly right here in America. You have seen Jewish schools 188 00:12:13,520 --> 00:12:16,280 Speaker 1: that have been targeted, synagogues that have been threatened, families 189 00:12:16,320 --> 00:12:19,600 Speaker 1: that are living in fear. And that's happening in the US. 190 00:12:19,800 --> 00:12:23,440 Speaker 1: Imagine what's happening right now in Israel. And that's why 191 00:12:23,480 --> 00:12:25,599 Speaker 1: I want you to know about the International Fellowship of 192 00:12:25,679 --> 00:12:28,520 Speaker 1: Christians and Jews. They're on the front lines and they're 193 00:12:28,520 --> 00:12:31,839 Speaker 1: providing hope and help when it is needed the most, 194 00:12:32,160 --> 00:12:36,360 Speaker 1: especially right now. They're giving food and shelter to Jewish 195 00:12:36,400 --> 00:12:40,480 Speaker 1: families that are under threat. They are building countless bomb 196 00:12:40,640 --> 00:12:44,680 Speaker 1: shelters for children to keep them safe. In Israel, they're 197 00:12:44,720 --> 00:12:47,800 Speaker 1: helping survivors of hate rebuild their lives. And they don't 198 00:12:47,840 --> 00:12:51,720 Speaker 1: just respond to crisis, they work every day to prevent it. Now, 199 00:12:51,960 --> 00:12:55,760 Speaker 1: your gift of only forty five dollars not only will 200 00:12:55,800 --> 00:12:58,960 Speaker 1: help support life saving work by providing food and shelter 201 00:12:59,120 --> 00:13:03,160 Speaker 1: and bombshells and armored vehicles, but it will give them 202 00:13:03,840 --> 00:13:07,480 Speaker 1: peace knowing that there are people standing with the people 203 00:13:07,640 --> 00:13:11,319 Speaker 1: in Israel. So if you've thought about helping, now is 204 00:13:11,360 --> 00:13:14,080 Speaker 1: the time to do it. Call them and make a 205 00:13:14,120 --> 00:13:18,040 Speaker 1: donation eight eight eight four eight eight IFCJ. 206 00:13:18,320 --> 00:13:23,400 Speaker 3: That's eight eight eight four eight eight four three two five. 207 00:13:23,720 --> 00:13:28,120 Speaker 1: You can also go online to IFCJ dot org. 208 00:13:28,320 --> 00:13:30,000 Speaker 3: Every dollar truly does help. 209 00:13:30,520 --> 00:13:33,680 Speaker 1: Don't wait be the difference of his IFCJ dot orger 210 00:13:33,800 --> 00:13:38,559 Speaker 1: eight a eight four eight eight IFCJ. Right now, all right, Senator, 211 00:13:38,600 --> 00:13:41,320 Speaker 1: So let's start with the basic question, and that is 212 00:13:43,400 --> 00:13:48,160 Speaker 1: what how did this begin? What have you learned being 213 00:13:48,160 --> 00:13:51,480 Speaker 1: in Washington, d C. About this strike on these Iranian 214 00:13:51,520 --> 00:13:54,840 Speaker 1: nuclear sites and military targets. What do you know tonight 215 00:13:54,920 --> 00:13:56,880 Speaker 1: that that you can tell people listening? 216 00:13:58,000 --> 00:14:00,760 Speaker 4: Well, let me say, first of all, I believe this 217 00:14:00,840 --> 00:14:06,320 Speaker 4: attack was inevitable that Iran was hell bent on acquiring 218 00:14:06,400 --> 00:14:11,480 Speaker 4: nuclear weapons. President Trump said repeatedly and unequivocally that the 219 00:14:11,520 --> 00:14:15,800 Speaker 4: only option for Iran was a complete and total dismantlement 220 00:14:16,520 --> 00:14:20,040 Speaker 4: of their centrifuges, of their enrichment capacity, of their ability 221 00:14:20,080 --> 00:14:24,200 Speaker 4: to enrich uranium. I led a letter with fifty two 222 00:14:24,320 --> 00:14:29,640 Speaker 4: Republican senators where we said, united, we agree with President Trump. 223 00:14:29,800 --> 00:14:33,840 Speaker 4: This is the red line, complete and total dismantlement of 224 00:14:33,880 --> 00:14:37,240 Speaker 4: their nuclear capacity. Now, what President Trump said is there's 225 00:14:37,240 --> 00:14:39,840 Speaker 4: two ways they can do this. One they can do 226 00:14:39,920 --> 00:14:43,520 Speaker 4: so peacefully through negotiations, and that's what the Trump administration 227 00:14:43,680 --> 00:14:47,720 Speaker 4: was trying to do. Or two, if they refuse to dismantle, 228 00:14:48,720 --> 00:14:55,200 Speaker 4: they will have the centrifugions dismantled through warfare. Well, this morning, 229 00:14:56,400 --> 00:14:59,400 Speaker 4: the Iranian regime announced it was not going to shut 230 00:14:59,440 --> 00:15:02,560 Speaker 4: down even in a single centrifuge. Instead, it was going 231 00:15:02,600 --> 00:15:05,680 Speaker 4: to build more. That they were hell bent on building 232 00:15:05,720 --> 00:15:09,360 Speaker 4: more centrifuges, enriching more uranium, and they were on the 233 00:15:09,400 --> 00:15:12,040 Speaker 4: path to a nuclear weapon. And I got to say, Ben, 234 00:15:12,400 --> 00:15:16,720 Speaker 4: the consequences of the statements this morning, we're number one. 235 00:15:18,160 --> 00:15:21,200 Speaker 4: There were a gigantic middle Frank Finger to President Trump. 236 00:15:21,640 --> 00:15:24,000 Speaker 4: They were saying, we don't care what you say. We 237 00:15:24,040 --> 00:15:27,080 Speaker 4: want nuclear weapons, and we're not gonna be dissuaded. We're 238 00:15:27,120 --> 00:15:29,360 Speaker 4: not going to be deterred. But number two, they were 239 00:15:29,400 --> 00:15:33,920 Speaker 4: a very clear message to Israel, attack us now, because 240 00:15:33,960 --> 00:15:36,920 Speaker 4: we are barreling towards acquiring a nuclear weapon, and if 241 00:15:36,960 --> 00:15:40,480 Speaker 4: you wait, you may find yourself with an enemy that 242 00:15:40,560 --> 00:15:43,680 Speaker 4: has a nuclear weapon and that can detonated over the 243 00:15:43,680 --> 00:15:46,880 Speaker 4: skies of Israel and kill millions of Israelis. And so 244 00:15:47,520 --> 00:15:51,080 Speaker 4: Iran set us on this course, and the government of 245 00:15:51,120 --> 00:15:54,200 Speaker 4: Israel is acting to keep the people of Israel safe. 246 00:15:55,240 --> 00:15:59,400 Speaker 4: But it is nonetheless an extraordinarily perilous time for Israel, 247 00:16:00,120 --> 00:16:01,360 Speaker 4: for America and for the world. 248 00:16:02,280 --> 00:16:04,920 Speaker 1: Say, you just mentioned that this was inevitable, and it 249 00:16:04,960 --> 00:16:07,080 Speaker 1: does feel like it was a long time coming, and 250 00:16:07,120 --> 00:16:09,040 Speaker 1: there was a question of who was going to do it. 251 00:16:09,120 --> 00:16:11,320 Speaker 1: Was it going to be America, was it going to 252 00:16:11,320 --> 00:16:14,360 Speaker 1: be Israel. Clearly now we know this as Israel is 253 00:16:14,400 --> 00:16:17,080 Speaker 1: launching this preemptive strike, and some would even argue this 254 00:16:17,200 --> 00:16:18,239 Speaker 1: was long overdue. 255 00:16:19,400 --> 00:16:23,400 Speaker 4: Yes, And I will say President Trump announced on April 256 00:16:23,560 --> 00:16:28,240 Speaker 4: twelfth that Iran has sixty days to negotiate and agree 257 00:16:28,280 --> 00:16:33,960 Speaker 4: to this sixty days. This attack was launched on June twelfth, Thursday, 258 00:16:34,040 --> 00:16:38,160 Speaker 4: June twelfth, exactly sixty days after that. That is not 259 00:16:38,240 --> 00:16:42,320 Speaker 4: an accident. Iran understood they had a timeframe, but you 260 00:16:42,320 --> 00:16:44,760 Speaker 4: got to understand the Iranians when they negotiate, they want 261 00:16:44,800 --> 00:16:47,440 Speaker 4: to delay. They wanted to delay, they want to continue 262 00:16:47,480 --> 00:16:51,800 Speaker 4: to reap the benefits of Joe Biden and the Democrats 263 00:16:51,880 --> 00:16:55,600 Speaker 4: weakness and appeasement and fuel the money that they received 264 00:16:56,160 --> 00:16:59,680 Speaker 4: into developing nuclear weapons. And so Israel made the decision. 265 00:17:00,280 --> 00:17:02,240 Speaker 4: They made the decision they were going to attack. They 266 00:17:02,240 --> 00:17:05,119 Speaker 4: were going to attack on exactly the sixty day expiration 267 00:17:05,640 --> 00:17:09,840 Speaker 4: of President Trump's deadline. And I think that was driven 268 00:17:09,920 --> 00:17:14,399 Speaker 4: by Iran beginning Thursday by saying we're not changing a 269 00:17:14,480 --> 00:17:19,320 Speaker 4: damn thing. We're gonna keep building centrifuges and effectively we 270 00:17:19,359 --> 00:17:21,439 Speaker 4: want a nuclear weapon and there's nothing you can do 271 00:17:21,520 --> 00:17:24,760 Speaker 4: to stop us. Israel acted to demonstrate that was not right. 272 00:17:25,400 --> 00:17:27,639 Speaker 1: Senator, I want to also remind people we do the 273 00:17:27,680 --> 00:17:29,360 Speaker 1: show as a podcast, so you can grab it three 274 00:17:29,400 --> 00:17:32,000 Speaker 1: days a week wherever you get your podcasts. Don't forget 275 00:17:32,040 --> 00:17:34,960 Speaker 1: subscribe to vertict with tech Cruise and let's get into 276 00:17:34,960 --> 00:17:37,800 Speaker 1: what Netnya who had to say as well Senator Netnak 277 00:17:37,800 --> 00:17:40,480 Speaker 1: who came out and was and spoke very boldly, not 278 00:17:40,600 --> 00:17:43,600 Speaker 1: just to the people in Israel, but also to the world. 279 00:17:43,760 --> 00:17:46,960 Speaker 4: So on Thursday evening, as the military strike was beginning, 280 00:17:47,280 --> 00:17:50,680 Speaker 4: Prime Minister Netnyah who addressed Israel and addressed the world. 281 00:17:51,000 --> 00:17:51,920 Speaker 4: Here's what he had to say. 282 00:17:52,520 --> 00:17:58,119 Speaker 2: Moments ago, Israel launched Operation Rising Lion, a targeted military 283 00:17:58,119 --> 00:18:03,399 Speaker 2: operation to roll back the Uranian threat to Israel's very survival. 284 00:18:04,000 --> 00:18:06,919 Speaker 2: This operation will continue for as many days as it 285 00:18:06,960 --> 00:18:11,480 Speaker 2: takes to remove this threat. For decades, the tyrants of 286 00:18:11,520 --> 00:18:17,000 Speaker 2: Tehran have brazenly openly called for Israel's destruction. They've backed 287 00:18:17,080 --> 00:18:21,440 Speaker 2: up their genocidal rhetoric with a program to develop nuclear weapons. 288 00:18:22,320 --> 00:18:26,560 Speaker 2: In recent years, Iran has produced enough highly enriched uranium 289 00:18:26,920 --> 00:18:32,399 Speaker 2: for nine atom bombs. Nine In recent months, Iran has 290 00:18:32,440 --> 00:18:36,080 Speaker 2: taken steps that it has never taken before, steps to 291 00:18:36,200 --> 00:18:40,640 Speaker 2: weaponize this enriched uranium. And if not stopped, Iran could 292 00:18:40,640 --> 00:18:43,800 Speaker 2: produce a nuclear weapon in a very short time. It 293 00:18:43,800 --> 00:18:46,439 Speaker 2: could be a year, it could be within a few months, 294 00:18:46,560 --> 00:18:49,399 Speaker 2: less than a year. This is a clear and present 295 00:18:49,520 --> 00:18:54,439 Speaker 2: danger to Israel's very survival. Eighty years ago, the Jewish 296 00:18:54,440 --> 00:18:58,119 Speaker 2: people were the victims of a holocaust perpetrated by the 297 00:18:58,200 --> 00:19:02,679 Speaker 2: Nazi regime. Today, the Jewish state refuses to be a 298 00:19:02,760 --> 00:19:07,959 Speaker 2: victim of a nuclear holocaust perporpated by the Iranian regime. Now, 299 00:19:07,960 --> 00:19:11,040 Speaker 2: as Prime Minister, I've made it clear time and again, 300 00:19:12,000 --> 00:19:15,480 Speaker 2: Israel will never allow those who call for our annihilation 301 00:19:16,040 --> 00:19:19,679 Speaker 2: to develop the means to achieve that goal. Tonight, Israel 302 00:19:19,720 --> 00:19:23,480 Speaker 2: backs those words with action. We struck at the heart 303 00:19:23,480 --> 00:19:26,920 Speaker 2: of Iran's nuclear enrichment program. We struck at the heart 304 00:19:26,960 --> 00:19:32,280 Speaker 2: of Iran's nuclear weaponization program. We targeted Iran's main enrichment 305 00:19:32,320 --> 00:19:37,120 Speaker 2: facility in Atans. We targeted Iran's leading nuclear scientists working 306 00:19:37,160 --> 00:19:39,680 Speaker 2: on the Iranian bomb. We also struck at the heart 307 00:19:39,680 --> 00:19:44,640 Speaker 2: of Iran's ballistic missile program. Last year, Iran fired three 308 00:19:44,760 --> 00:19:49,240 Speaker 2: hundred ballistic missiles at Israel. Each of these missiles carries 309 00:19:49,320 --> 00:19:53,280 Speaker 2: a ton of explosives and threatens the lives of hundreds 310 00:19:53,320 --> 00:19:57,640 Speaker 2: of people. Soon, those missiles could carry a nuclear payload, 311 00:19:58,000 --> 00:20:02,199 Speaker 2: threatening the lives not of hundreds, but of millions. Iran 312 00:20:02,359 --> 00:20:05,720 Speaker 2: is gearing up to produce ten thousands of those ballistic 313 00:20:05,760 --> 00:20:11,760 Speaker 2: missiles within three years now. Just imagine, imagine ten thousand 314 00:20:11,800 --> 00:20:16,040 Speaker 2: tons of TNT landing on a country the size of 315 00:20:16,040 --> 00:20:20,960 Speaker 2: New Jersey. This is an intolerable threat. It too must 316 00:20:21,000 --> 00:20:21,600 Speaker 2: be stopped. 317 00:20:22,520 --> 00:20:25,359 Speaker 1: You listen to Netnyahu there, and not only was he 318 00:20:25,520 --> 00:20:28,359 Speaker 1: very clear and direct, but it was I think a 319 00:20:28,640 --> 00:20:31,800 Speaker 1: argument that if you're a sane person wherever you are 320 00:20:31,840 --> 00:20:34,280 Speaker 1: in the world, and you're looking at the position that 321 00:20:34,400 --> 00:20:37,720 Speaker 1: Israel is in with a Ran next door, they had 322 00:20:37,760 --> 00:20:38,520 Speaker 1: no choice but. 323 00:20:38,560 --> 00:20:38,960 Speaker 3: To do this. 324 00:20:39,720 --> 00:20:43,440 Speaker 4: Yes, Look, as you know, I know Prime Minister Netneho 325 00:20:43,640 --> 00:20:46,000 Speaker 4: very well. He is a friend. We've spent a lot 326 00:20:46,000 --> 00:20:49,520 Speaker 4: of time together. When he was in DC last month, 327 00:20:50,119 --> 00:20:52,200 Speaker 4: he and I spent two, almost two and a half 328 00:20:52,200 --> 00:20:56,080 Speaker 4: hours together, just one on one. I will tell you, 329 00:20:56,280 --> 00:20:58,360 Speaker 4: in the thirteen years i've been in the Senate, I've 330 00:20:58,400 --> 00:21:00,400 Speaker 4: met a lot of world leaders. That's part of a job, 331 00:21:00,440 --> 00:21:04,560 Speaker 4: as you meet the leaders of foreign countries. There is 332 00:21:04,640 --> 00:21:08,800 Speaker 4: only one who has taking my breath away. I think 333 00:21:08,840 --> 00:21:11,760 Speaker 4: Prime Minister netanya who the adjective I've used for him 334 00:21:11,800 --> 00:21:16,199 Speaker 4: I've not used for anyone else is Churchillian, because I 335 00:21:16,240 --> 00:21:18,600 Speaker 4: think he has a seriousness of purpose. I think he 336 00:21:18,600 --> 00:21:22,880 Speaker 4: has a gravitas. He understands that he is facing literally 337 00:21:22,920 --> 00:21:26,880 Speaker 4: a threat to annihilate the people of his country, and 338 00:21:27,000 --> 00:21:31,000 Speaker 4: he is committed to doing everything necessary to prevent it. 339 00:21:31,400 --> 00:21:33,280 Speaker 4: You know, I'll tell you when Obama was president, and 340 00:21:33,600 --> 00:21:39,520 Speaker 4: when Obama was negotiating and announcing the Obama Iran nuclear Deal, 341 00:21:39,520 --> 00:21:44,160 Speaker 4: which was catastrophically devastating, the House of Representatives invited Prime 342 00:21:44,160 --> 00:21:46,840 Speaker 4: Minister Netna who to come and address a joint session 343 00:21:46,880 --> 00:21:51,560 Speaker 4: of Congress. And when that happened, I invited Ellie Wizzell, 344 00:21:51,800 --> 00:21:56,360 Speaker 4: who is the Nobel Laureate, incredible, incredible man, to come 345 00:21:56,400 --> 00:21:59,359 Speaker 4: participate in a conversation with me on what the threat 346 00:21:59,359 --> 00:22:00,600 Speaker 4: of a nuclear was. 347 00:22:01,600 --> 00:22:01,840 Speaker 2: Now. 348 00:22:01,960 --> 00:22:06,240 Speaker 4: Ellie, he wanted it to be very mache bipartisan event. 349 00:22:07,280 --> 00:22:10,680 Speaker 4: So I invited Chuck Schumer to participate. He said no. 350 00:22:11,600 --> 00:22:16,760 Speaker 4: I invited multiple Democrats to participate, one after the other 351 00:22:16,920 --> 00:22:19,679 Speaker 4: after the other. They sayed said no. Finally I told Ellie, 352 00:22:19,800 --> 00:22:23,679 Speaker 4: no Democrat will participate. We did a gathering in the capital. 353 00:22:23,720 --> 00:22:26,120 Speaker 4: We had over five hundred people come in the capital. Listen. 354 00:22:26,200 --> 00:22:32,200 Speaker 4: Ellie was l talk about his experiences seeing the horrors 355 00:22:32,240 --> 00:22:36,280 Speaker 4: of the Holocaust, seeing the horrors of evil and Nazi Germany, 356 00:22:37,200 --> 00:22:40,119 Speaker 4: and I got to say when Ellie was l talked 357 00:22:40,160 --> 00:22:44,760 Speaker 4: about never again means never again, and the greatest threat 358 00:22:45,320 --> 00:22:49,720 Speaker 4: of another holocaust on planet Earth is a nuclear Iran, 359 00:22:49,960 --> 00:22:55,879 Speaker 4: where these theocratic lunatics use nuclear weapons to murder millions 360 00:22:55,960 --> 00:22:59,920 Speaker 4: of Israelis. It was powerful. It took my breath away 361 00:23:00,040 --> 00:23:02,040 Speaker 4: to be sitting at the table with him. But it 362 00:23:02,119 --> 00:23:06,400 Speaker 4: also spoke volumes that not a single Democrat was willing 363 00:23:06,440 --> 00:23:07,760 Speaker 4: to be in the room. And I'll tell you ben 364 00:23:08,320 --> 00:23:10,720 Speaker 4: So on that speech on the Senate floor, I was there. 365 00:23:10,800 --> 00:23:14,280 Speaker 4: I listened to Prime Minister Netyahu's speech, which was powerful, 366 00:23:14,320 --> 00:23:18,680 Speaker 4: it was incredibly important, and we saw a vast number 367 00:23:18,760 --> 00:23:23,200 Speaker 4: of Democrats boycott the speech, refuse to attend. We saw 368 00:23:23,200 --> 00:23:25,840 Speaker 4: that again when when when the Prime Minister addressed Congress 369 00:23:26,160 --> 00:23:29,959 Speaker 4: more recently, and again Democrats boycott of the speech. Kamala 370 00:23:30,000 --> 00:23:33,480 Speaker 4: Harris boycott of the speech, refused to listen to the 371 00:23:33,480 --> 00:23:36,880 Speaker 4: democratically elected leader of Israel. And it is a sad 372 00:23:36,960 --> 00:23:44,080 Speaker 4: dynamic that today's Democrat party is dominated by the Prohamas faction. 373 00:23:44,640 --> 00:23:48,840 Speaker 4: Today's Democrat Party isn't panic because right now, far too 374 00:23:48,920 --> 00:23:53,080 Speaker 4: many of their radicals sympathize with Iran over Israel. And 375 00:23:53,119 --> 00:23:56,280 Speaker 4: that that may sound like hyperbole, but you know what 376 00:23:56,520 --> 00:23:58,560 Speaker 4: we are going to see. I'm going to predict this, 377 00:23:58,640 --> 00:24:01,080 Speaker 4: you and I. This is this is early Friday morning. 378 00:24:01,960 --> 00:24:06,640 Speaker 4: We are going to see Democrat after Democrat saying to Israel, 379 00:24:07,160 --> 00:24:09,560 Speaker 4: you need to restrain yourself, not calling out a Ran, 380 00:24:10,560 --> 00:24:12,400 Speaker 4: but calling out Israel because that. 381 00:24:12,520 --> 00:24:14,119 Speaker 3: Is where the bank on Israel. 382 00:24:14,200 --> 00:24:14,760 Speaker 4: That party is. 383 00:24:15,240 --> 00:24:15,480 Speaker 3: Yes. 384 00:24:15,640 --> 00:24:17,919 Speaker 1: Yeah, after the attack, they've came out and said they 385 00:24:18,000 --> 00:24:20,600 Speaker 1: must show restraint. Before they'd even been able to figure 386 00:24:20,600 --> 00:24:22,399 Speaker 1: out what had happened in Israel, They're like, well, they 387 00:24:22,440 --> 00:24:24,440 Speaker 1: need to show restraint, they must show restrained. 388 00:24:24,560 --> 00:24:27,600 Speaker 4: Everything the Biden administration over and over again said do 389 00:24:27,640 --> 00:24:29,760 Speaker 4: not kill the terrorists, do not kill the terrorists. They 390 00:24:29,800 --> 00:24:34,320 Speaker 4: cut off weapons to Israel. The radical left in the 391 00:24:34,320 --> 00:24:37,640 Speaker 4: Democrat Party hates Israel and that battle is only gonna 392 00:24:37,680 --> 00:24:38,080 Speaker 4: get worse. 393 00:24:38,840 --> 00:24:40,880 Speaker 3: Let me tell you about Patriot Mobile real quick. 394 00:24:40,920 --> 00:24:43,600 Speaker 1: If you've got a cell phone and your cell phone 395 00:24:44,200 --> 00:24:46,640 Speaker 1: is not with Patriot Mobile, then the question I got 396 00:24:46,640 --> 00:24:49,880 Speaker 1: to ask you is why why have you not made 397 00:24:49,880 --> 00:24:53,040 Speaker 1: the switch?

Causes that stand for a 419 00:25:59,880 --> 00:26:03,560 Speaker 1: First or Second Amendment rights, the rights of unborn children. 420 00:26:03,800 --> 00:26:07,120 Speaker 1: And they stand with our veterans, our first responders, our 421 00:26:07,119 --> 00:26:10,760 Speaker 1: police and firemen, are EMTs, and our wounded warriors.

One of the things I 429 00:26:35,400 --> 00:26:39,679 Speaker 1: love about doing the show Center is moments after this 430 00:26:39,720 --> 00:26:43,359 Speaker 1: attack took place Israel on Iran, you were actually on 431 00:26:43,400 --> 00:26:46,480 Speaker 1: the phone with the ambassador from Israel. What did he 432 00:26:46,680 --> 00:26:49,240 Speaker 1: tell you about this attack? How long had they been 433 00:26:49,280 --> 00:26:52,359 Speaker 1: planning this? What was the final decision that made this 434 00:26:52,440 --> 00:26:54,760 Speaker 1: happen in the last several hours. 435 00:26:55,760 --> 00:26:59,480 Speaker 4: Well, understand, this show happens real time. It happens real 436 00:26:59,520 --> 00:27:02,919 Speaker 4: time and life. You and I are recording this early 437 00:27:02,960 --> 00:27:05,440 Speaker 4: in the morning Friday morning. This podcast will come out 438 00:27:05,520 --> 00:27:07,199 Speaker 4: later in the day on Friday, So some of you 439 00:27:07,280 --> 00:27:09,760 Speaker 4: will be listening to this on Friday, others of you 440 00:27:09,840 --> 00:27:12,480 Speaker 4: will be hearing this on radio on Saturday or Sunday. 441 00:27:12,960 --> 00:27:15,679 Speaker 4: And so the world may have changed forty eight hours. 442 00:27:15,720 --> 00:27:19,359 Speaker 4: At the time. When a war is initiating, it is 443 00:27:19,480 --> 00:27:22,480 Speaker 4: a mountain of time. What I can tell you is 444 00:27:22,840 --> 00:27:26,360 Speaker 4: late Thursday night, as Israel was launching it its attacks, 445 00:27:26,400 --> 00:27:31,199 Speaker 4: before Iran has engaged in a counterattack, I was on 446 00:27:31,240 --> 00:27:34,040 Speaker 4: the phone with the Israeli ambassador of the United States 447 00:27:34,080 --> 00:27:38,200 Speaker 4: and he told me that the attack, at least so far, 448 00:27:38,320 --> 00:27:41,760 Speaker 4: had gone extraordinarily well, that they'd taken out senior leadership 449 00:27:41,800 --> 00:27:44,120 Speaker 4: of the IRGC. And I got to say, by the way, 450 00:27:44,480 --> 00:27:47,560 Speaker 4: that's a huge victory for the United States of America. 451 00:27:47,600 --> 00:27:53,000 Speaker 4: The IRGC has murdered over six hundred American servicemen and women. 452 00:27:54,200 --> 00:27:58,719 Speaker 4: They are grotesquely hostile to the United States, and for 453 00:27:58,840 --> 00:28:02,639 Speaker 4: Israel to take them out enormous benefit to America. But 454 00:28:02,760 --> 00:28:05,800 Speaker 4: at the same time, the Israeli ambassador told me that 455 00:28:06,320 --> 00:28:09,200 Speaker 4: the instruction had gone out in Israel to the people 456 00:28:09,200 --> 00:28:12,520 Speaker 4: of Israel go to a bomb shelter, either be in 457 00:28:12,560 --> 00:28:15,160 Speaker 4: a bomb shelter or be very near a bomb shelter, 458 00:28:15,320 --> 00:28:19,359 Speaker 4: because they are anticipating early in the morning Friday morning, 459 00:28:20,240 --> 00:28:23,800 Speaker 4: that Iran is going to launch a massive counter attack 460 00:28:24,000 --> 00:28:30,359 Speaker 4: with ballistic weapons. And Israel has extensive anti missile defenses, 461 00:28:31,119 --> 00:28:34,400 Speaker 4: but Iran has sufficient volume that if they launch everything, 462 00:28:34,440 --> 00:28:37,840 Speaker 4: they have the capacity to overwhelm the defenses, and so 463 00:28:38,080 --> 00:28:40,440 Speaker 4: there is a very real possibility. The people of Israel 464 00:28:40,480 --> 00:28:45,640 Speaker 4: are braced. They understand. Look, look, they're not playing they're 465 00:28:45,640 --> 00:28:49,080 Speaker 4: not playing games that they are playing with real stakes. 466 00:28:49,120 --> 00:28:52,640 Speaker 4: They're playing with live rounds. The people of Israel understand 467 00:28:53,360 --> 00:28:56,000 Speaker 4: right now, as you and I are recording this, that 468 00:28:56,120 --> 00:28:59,520 Speaker 4: we may see Israeli's die right now, because Iran has 469 00:28:59,640 --> 00:29:03,640 Speaker 4: enough missiles that if they launched them all there will 470 00:29:03,640 --> 00:29:07,520 Speaker 4: be Israeli's murdered in the minutes and hours ahead of us. 471 00:29:08,200 --> 00:29:11,120 Speaker 4: But at the same time, Prime Minister Netanyah, who made 472 00:29:11,160 --> 00:29:13,320 Speaker 4: the decision, it's a decision I agree with. It's a 473 00:29:13,320 --> 00:29:17,080 Speaker 4: decision that I think was right. Which is the risk 474 00:29:18,120 --> 00:29:23,040 Speaker 4: of Israelis dying and of Americans dying if Iran acquires 475 00:29:23,080 --> 00:29:27,320 Speaker 4: a nuclear weapon is qualitatively different that we could face. 476 00:29:28,040 --> 00:29:33,000 Speaker 4: With an Iranian nuclear weapon, we could face millions murdered. 477 00:29:33,520 --> 00:29:37,240 Speaker 4: And so listen, I want to underscore what I said 478 00:29:37,240 --> 00:29:39,680 Speaker 4: at the beginning of this podcast. Pray for the people 479 00:29:39,720 --> 00:29:42,760 Speaker 4: of Israel and pray for our servicemen and women in 480 00:29:42,800 --> 00:29:45,880 Speaker 4: har harm's way, because this is a very very dangerous 481 00:29:45,880 --> 00:29:46,560 Speaker 4: time right now. 482 00:29:47,080 --> 00:29:49,600 Speaker 1: Well, let's talk about who is targeted and what this 483 00:29:49,720 --> 00:29:52,760 Speaker 1: looks like moving forward from the standpoint of Israel. I mean, 484 00:29:53,040 --> 00:29:56,440 Speaker 1: the objective here is clearly to put them back when 485 00:29:56,440 --> 00:29:58,760 Speaker 1: it comes to their nuclear program. But they also went 486 00:29:58,800 --> 00:30:01,000 Speaker 1: after people that were involved in that program, which is 487 00:30:01,040 --> 00:30:03,360 Speaker 1: a really big way to move things backwards. 488 00:30:04,360 --> 00:30:04,560 Speaker 2: Yeah. 489 00:30:04,600 --> 00:30:08,080 Speaker 4: Look, this was a decapitation strike. It was targeted the 490 00:30:08,200 --> 00:30:12,240 Speaker 4: senior military leaders in Iran. It was targeted at the 491 00:30:12,320 --> 00:30:17,040 Speaker 4: nuclear facilities in Iran. It was targeted at the anti 492 00:30:17,600 --> 00:30:22,800 Speaker 4: air assault facilities in Iran. It was a very targeted 493 00:30:22,840 --> 00:30:27,640 Speaker 4: but massively effective strike. Now Iran is going to strike back. 494 00:30:27,800 --> 00:30:31,920 Speaker 4: Understand that that that's not a possibility or a probability. 495 00:30:32,440 --> 00:30:35,520 Speaker 4: It is a certainty that Iran will hit back. Now, 496 00:30:35,600 --> 00:30:38,440 Speaker 4: what I hope Iran understands is they should not hit 497 00:30:38,520 --> 00:30:42,920 Speaker 4: back at America. Hitting back at America would escalate this dramatically. 498 00:30:43,760 --> 00:30:47,640 Speaker 4: And I will say the Secretary of State, Marco Rubio, 499 00:30:47,680 --> 00:30:49,920 Speaker 4: he put out a statement Thursday night. Let me read 500 00:30:49,960 --> 00:30:55,760 Speaker 4: his statement. Quote tonight, Israel took unilateral action against Iran. 501 00:30:56,200 --> 00:30:59,680 Speaker 4: We were not involved in strikes against Iran, and our 502 00:30:59,720 --> 00:31:04,000 Speaker 4: top priority is protecting American forces in the region. Israel 503 00:31:04,040 --> 00:31:07,040 Speaker 4: advised us that they believe this action was necessary for 504 00:31:07,080 --> 00:31:11,000 Speaker 4: its self defense. President Trump and the administration have taken 505 00:31:11,160 --> 00:31:15,400 Speaker 4: all necessary steps to protect our forces and remain in 506 00:31:15,480 --> 00:31:19,720 Speaker 4: close contact with our regional partners. Let me be clear, 507 00:31:20,400 --> 00:31:26,640 Speaker 4: Iran should not target US interests or personnel. Now, look, 508 00:31:26,960 --> 00:31:29,280 Speaker 4: I'm glad that the Secretary of State was putting out 509 00:31:29,320 --> 00:31:33,000 Speaker 4: that statement defending our servicemen and women. I wish there 510 00:31:33,000 --> 00:31:35,680 Speaker 4: had been more in that statement saying we stand with Israel. 511 00:31:35,720 --> 00:31:39,840 Speaker 4: That was missing from the statement, and it shouldn't have been. 512 00:31:40,520 --> 00:31:43,800 Speaker 4: From my perspective, we stand unequivocally with Israel. But I 513 00:31:43,880 --> 00:31:47,920 Speaker 4: understand why the Secretary of State didn't do that, which 514 00:31:48,000 --> 00:31:52,360 Speaker 4: is that he's concerned that Iran may strike at US 515 00:31:52,480 --> 00:31:56,440 Speaker 4: military forces. Now, in my view, the way to prevent 516 00:31:56,520 --> 00:31:58,600 Speaker 4: that is not to say to Iran, hey, we had 517 00:31:58,640 --> 00:32:02,480 Speaker 4: nothing to do with That was the main theme of 518 00:32:02,520 --> 00:32:07,240 Speaker 4: the Secretary of State's statement, but rather to say, if 519 00:32:07,280 --> 00:32:11,680 Speaker 4: you attack US forces, the consequences will be overwhelming. I 520 00:32:11,720 --> 00:32:16,640 Speaker 4: think Iran responds more to stick than the carrot. But 521 00:32:17,120 --> 00:32:19,960 Speaker 4: we shall see. And it is any way you look 522 00:32:20,000 --> 00:32:22,360 Speaker 4: at it, on unbelievably dangerous time. 523 00:32:23,040 --> 00:32:24,960 Speaker 1: Senator, let's talk about some of the people that have 524 00:32:25,000 --> 00:32:28,480 Speaker 1: been taken out here. There's two aspects of these strikes. One, 525 00:32:29,160 --> 00:32:32,080 Speaker 1: nuclear scientists are being reported that they were targeted and 526 00:32:32,120 --> 00:32:35,560 Speaker 1: have been killed, and that is the brains of the 527 00:32:35,640 --> 00:32:38,959 Speaker 1: nuclear program. If you want to stop Iran from doing this, 528 00:32:39,440 --> 00:32:43,000 Speaker 1: taking out new nuclear scientists is absolutely brilliant. It's the 529 00:32:43,040 --> 00:32:46,880 Speaker 1: computer system, the nervous system of everything they're trying to accomplish. 530 00:32:47,320 --> 00:32:51,600 Speaker 1: That's incredible. But we also now know from virtually every 531 00:32:51,640 --> 00:32:56,240 Speaker 1: news agency is reporting this that the IRGC tear chief Salami, 532 00:32:56,320 --> 00:32:58,240 Speaker 1: has also been eliminated. 533 00:32:58,440 --> 00:32:59,760 Speaker 3: That is significant as well. 534 00:33:00,400 --> 00:33:03,560 Speaker 4: Well. We now know that Hussein Salami is lunch meat 535 00:33:04,480 --> 00:33:08,000 Speaker 4: and I feel a little cheesy making fun of him, 536 00:33:08,360 --> 00:33:15,120 Speaker 4: but then again, the guy is a racist, genocidal, homicidal lunatic. 537 00:33:16,000 --> 00:33:20,040 Speaker 4: So I hope after Salami, Beloni and Pastrami both get 538 00:33:20,040 --> 00:33:24,120 Speaker 4: eliminated as well. And if you look at the head 539 00:33:24,160 --> 00:33:30,280 Speaker 4: of the IRGC, he has responsibility for murdering over six 540 00:33:30,640 --> 00:33:35,600 Speaker 4: hundred US servicemen and women. So if you love the 541 00:33:35,600 --> 00:33:37,560 Speaker 4: men and women of the Armed Services, if you are 542 00:33:37,600 --> 00:33:42,160 Speaker 4: grateful for friends, family, loved ones who served defending this nation, 543 00:33:43,320 --> 00:33:45,959 Speaker 4: then you ought to say tonight to the nation of Israel, 544 00:33:46,040 --> 00:33:48,040 Speaker 4: thank you, thank you for taking out the head of 545 00:33:48,040 --> 00:33:53,480 Speaker 4: the IRGC that is responsible for murdering hundreds of American 546 00:33:53,520 --> 00:33:56,760 Speaker 4: servicemen and women. President Trump when he was president the 547 00:33:56,800 --> 00:34:01,560 Speaker 4: first time, he took out General Solimani, and now today 548 00:34:01,640 --> 00:34:06,400 Speaker 4: the Israelis have taken out Salami, a successor who is 549 00:34:06,440 --> 00:34:10,800 Speaker 4: the terror chief of the IRGC, and he is now 550 00:34:11,000 --> 00:34:13,359 Speaker 4: with his seventy two versions, so that, I will tell you, 551 00:34:13,920 --> 00:34:16,800 Speaker 4: much to his dismay, those virgins are all Gomer Pyle 552 00:34:17,120 --> 00:34:18,239 Speaker 4: and it's not what he hoped for. 553 00:34:18,880 --> 00:34:19,520 Speaker 3: I got to say. 554 00:34:19,560 --> 00:34:21,959 Speaker 1: One of the best parts about this story just side note, 555 00:34:21,960 --> 00:34:27,160 Speaker 1: if you look up Insallami on his pages on the Wikipedia, 556 00:34:27,680 --> 00:34:30,280 Speaker 1: it already says he's like the former guy in charge 557 00:34:30,360 --> 00:34:33,319 Speaker 1: of the IRGC. I love the Internet when they get 558 00:34:33,360 --> 00:34:36,880 Speaker 1: it right really quickly. Center. It is amazing to see 559 00:34:36,880 --> 00:34:39,320 Speaker 1: this moment in history, because this is a moment in history. 560 00:34:39,800 --> 00:34:42,880 Speaker 1: And I got to ask you this, Aran now is 561 00:34:42,880 --> 00:34:45,120 Speaker 1: going to respond. I'm sure in some way. I'm sure 562 00:34:45,400 --> 00:34:48,640 Speaker 1: Israel is expecting that you made it very clear to 563 00:34:48,719 --> 00:34:54,640 Speaker 1: night America's warning and from this administration, what happens next 564 00:34:54,719 --> 00:34:58,359 Speaker 1: and what is Israel expecting in your mind. 565 00:34:58,280 --> 00:35:01,000 Speaker 4: Well, it depends on the escalation. I think it is 566 00:35:01,040 --> 00:35:04,880 Speaker 4: one hundred percent certain that Iran will respond by firing 567 00:35:04,880 --> 00:35:08,719 Speaker 4: missiles at Israel. Israel gets that, they understand that they're 568 00:35:08,760 --> 00:35:13,280 Speaker 4: ready for that. There is some real possibility that Iran 569 00:35:13,360 --> 00:35:17,080 Speaker 4: will respond by firing missiles or other weapons at Americans. 570 00:35:17,600 --> 00:35:20,080 Speaker 4: And I think if they do that, they will dramatically 571 00:35:20,200 --> 00:35:23,319 Speaker 4: escalate this conflict. I think they will provoke. If they 572 00:35:23,440 --> 00:35:26,120 Speaker 4: murder American servicemen and women, I think you will see 573 00:35:26,120 --> 00:35:30,600 Speaker 4: President Trump respond with devastating force. And so again my 574 00:35:30,680 --> 00:35:34,080 Speaker 4: message to the Iatolas, do not do that their response 575 00:35:34,120 --> 00:35:37,000 Speaker 4: to Israel. I don't know what it will be. There 576 00:35:37,080 --> 00:35:40,759 Speaker 4: is a risk that their response is devastating, that it 577 00:35:40,840 --> 00:35:45,120 Speaker 4: is overwhelming. They have a massive number of ballistic missiles, 578 00:35:45,520 --> 00:35:48,759 Speaker 4: so if they fire them, all the odds are significant 579 00:35:48,800 --> 00:35:51,920 Speaker 4: that we will see a very large number of Israelis murdered. 580 00:35:52,280 --> 00:35:56,200 Speaker 4: What I'm saying, Prime Minister net Yahoo understands. He knows that. 581 00:35:56,960 --> 00:36:00,160 Speaker 4: He knows that, but by virtue of engaging this attack tonight, 582 00:36:00,800 --> 00:36:03,759 Speaker 4: there's a real risk of a significant number of Israelis 583 00:36:03,800 --> 00:36:07,880 Speaker 4: being murdered. But he did this because he knows that 584 00:36:07,920 --> 00:36:12,120 Speaker 4: if Iran has a nuclear weapon, many many more Israelis 585 00:36:12,160 --> 00:36:14,880 Speaker 4: and many many more Americans are at risk of being murdered. 586 00:36:15,560 --> 00:36:19,680 Speaker 4: Look the Iatola chance death to America and death to Israel. 587 00:36:19,880 --> 00:36:24,160 Speaker 4: I believe he believes that, and so acquiring a nuclear 588 00:36:24,160 --> 00:36:26,439 Speaker 4: weapon is not just an academic question. If he gets 589 00:36:26,480 --> 00:36:29,760 Speaker 4: a nuclear weapon, I believe he is trying to acquire 590 00:36:29,800 --> 00:36:33,239 Speaker 4: one because he wants to carry out his promises of 591 00:36:33,320 --> 00:36:36,399 Speaker 4: death to Israel and death to America. And that's precisely 592 00:36:36,440 --> 00:36:39,759 Speaker 4: why Israel has launched this attack, to stop him from 593 00:36:39,800 --> 00:36:40,879 Speaker 4: getting that capability. 594 00:36:41,120 --> 00:36:43,560 Speaker 1: I also center want to play for you what the 595 00:36:44,080 --> 00:36:47,880 Speaker 1: Israeli ambassador the United Nations had to say on CNN earlier. 596 00:36:48,239 --> 00:36:49,719 Speaker 1: Here is what he had to say when he was 597 00:36:49,760 --> 00:36:51,920 Speaker 1: asked a couple of different questions about this strike. 598 00:36:52,239 --> 00:36:55,160 Speaker 5: Also joining me is Israel's Ambassador to the United Nations, 599 00:36:55,200 --> 00:36:57,719 Speaker 5: Danny Denone. And Ambassador, it's great to have you here, sir. 600 00:36:58,160 --> 00:37:00,000 Speaker 5: Just first on the strike that we were seeing plays 601 00:37:00,080 --> 00:37:03,080 Speaker 5: ou tonight and what this means should we now consider 602 00:37:03,160 --> 00:37:04,720 Speaker 5: is real to be at war with Iran? 603 00:37:06,239 --> 00:37:09,360 Speaker 6: And I was very clear, we took a preemptive attack 604 00:37:09,640 --> 00:37:13,279 Speaker 6: to defense ourselves, to defend ourselves, and we are targeting 605 00:37:13,840 --> 00:37:18,520 Speaker 6: the nuclear facilities and the ballistic mission centers in Iran. 606 00:37:19,120 --> 00:37:22,440 Speaker 6: So We don't go into declarations. Now, we take actions. 607 00:37:22,680 --> 00:37:25,560 Speaker 6: We decided not to wait for Iran to attack us 608 00:37:25,640 --> 00:37:29,880 Speaker 6: with nuclear capabilities. We knew that they were plotting to 609 00:37:30,000 --> 00:37:33,200 Speaker 6: do that, and while they were talking with many countries 610 00:37:33,520 --> 00:37:37,680 Speaker 6: and negotiating, they moved secretly with a military plan to 611 00:37:37,760 --> 00:37:40,279 Speaker 6: attack as well. And what we did was an act 612 00:37:40,360 --> 00:37:43,479 Speaker 6: of self defense. And we have abilities, you know, okay, 613 00:37:43,520 --> 00:37:47,480 Speaker 6: clean eighty years ago, when Auschwitz was liberated, we required 614 00:37:47,520 --> 00:37:50,360 Speaker 6: the support of the allies to protect our people. But 615 00:37:50,400 --> 00:37:53,919 Speaker 6: today we have our own state, our own military, our 616 00:37:54,040 --> 00:37:57,839 Speaker 6: own air force, and today we are protecting ourselves from 617 00:37:57,880 --> 00:37:58,839 Speaker 6: another holocaust. 618 00:38:00,200 --> 00:38:02,719 Speaker 5: Are much wider than the preemptive strikes based on what 619 00:38:02,760 --> 00:38:06,160 Speaker 5: we've seen so far, especially in terms of targeting around 620 00:38:06,320 --> 00:38:09,160 Speaker 5: top military leaders as well as senior nuclear scientists, kind 621 00:38:09,200 --> 00:38:12,040 Speaker 5: of a mass based on what we have heard, do 622 00:38:12,120 --> 00:38:15,360 Speaker 5: you know how many of those top military leaders and 623 00:38:15,440 --> 00:38:19,000 Speaker 5: nuclear scientists and run the strikes against the more successful, 624 00:38:19,000 --> 00:38:20,560 Speaker 5: How many of them have been eliminated tonight? 625 00:38:21,000 --> 00:38:23,000 Speaker 6: No, I cannot go into those details, but I can 626 00:38:23,000 --> 00:38:27,480 Speaker 6: tell you one thing. Those people who were involved in 627 00:38:27,520 --> 00:38:32,600 Speaker 6: the nuclear production, those who were putting together the ballistic missiles, 628 00:38:33,400 --> 00:38:35,680 Speaker 6: there are targets. They are part of the machine that 629 00:38:35,800 --> 00:38:38,640 Speaker 6: threatened as well in other countries in the world. You know, 630 00:38:38,719 --> 00:38:40,719 Speaker 6: if you look back at attack that if well took, 631 00:38:41,520 --> 00:38:44,360 Speaker 6: whether it was against the Iraqi or see yeah, we 632 00:38:44,480 --> 00:38:47,800 Speaker 6: try to develop a nuclear reactors. I think today everybody 633 00:38:47,840 --> 00:38:50,680 Speaker 6: can thank it well for those actions. So maybe today 634 00:38:51,080 --> 00:38:54,320 Speaker 6: some people are not sure about why we're doing it today, 635 00:38:54,719 --> 00:38:57,799 Speaker 6: but down the world a few years from today, the 636 00:38:57,880 --> 00:39:01,000 Speaker 6: world will thank it well for the actually we took todaight. 637 00:39:01,880 --> 00:39:04,640 Speaker 1: The world will think Israel for the actions taking tonight. 638 00:39:04,840 --> 00:39:06,759 Speaker 1: Is that the big takeaway from all of this. 639 00:39:07,640 --> 00:39:11,560 Speaker 4: It should be. But understand that the pro Hamas radical 640 00:39:11,640 --> 00:39:15,680 Speaker 4: left in the Democrat Party is cheering on exactly the 641 00:39:15,719 --> 00:39:19,000 Speaker 4: opposite side. So Ben Rhodes, many of you all listening 642 00:39:19,080 --> 00:39:22,120 Speaker 4: know who Ben Roads is. Ben Rhodes was a top 643 00:39:22,239 --> 00:39:26,120 Speaker 4: national security official in the Barack Obama National Security Council. 644 00:39:26,800 --> 00:39:31,959 Speaker 4: He is the lead architect of the Obama Iran nuclear deal. 645 00:39:32,480 --> 00:39:37,120 Speaker 4: He is a hardcore leftist and tonight he's miserable. So 646 00:39:37,360 --> 00:39:40,960 Speaker 4: Ben Rhodes. Late Thursday night, he tweeted out, quote, this 647 00:39:41,120 --> 00:39:48,120 Speaker 4: is all so unnecessary, all of it everywhere. Understand when 648 00:39:48,360 --> 00:39:52,320 Speaker 4: Israel attacks Iran to take out the nuclear capacities. Ben Rhodes, 649 00:39:53,120 --> 00:39:57,080 Speaker 4: the leading national security official for Barack Obama, is I 650 00:39:57,160 --> 00:40:01,120 Speaker 4: think Ben is in tears right now. And listen, the 651 00:40:01,200 --> 00:40:06,560 Speaker 4: Iran nuclear deal under Obama was a disaster. Under Joe Biden, 652 00:40:06,600 --> 00:40:09,800 Speaker 4: their top foreign policy objective was to have another Iran 653 00:40:09,880 --> 00:40:12,760 Speaker 4: nuclear deal. The only thing that stopped it is Iran 654 00:40:12,960 --> 00:40:17,200 Speaker 4: was so unreasonable they would not accept it. And there 655 00:40:17,239 --> 00:40:20,759 Speaker 4: are so many in the Democrat Party right now that 656 00:40:21,160 --> 00:40:24,200 Speaker 4: are cheering for Iran. I'll tell you what I'm cheering 657 00:40:24,200 --> 00:40:28,320 Speaker 4: for America, dammit, and I'm cheering for Israel and people 658 00:40:28,320 --> 00:40:31,759 Speaker 4: who are theocratic lunatics who say they want to murder us. 659 00:40:32,360 --> 00:40:35,320 Speaker 4: I am not dismayed that we are seeing a military 660 00:40:35,360 --> 00:40:38,080 Speaker 4: force stand up and take them out, and in particular, 661 00:40:38,280 --> 00:40:43,480 Speaker 4: take out their nuclear capacity. That is critically important. We 662 00:40:43,560 --> 00:40:47,200 Speaker 4: do not want people who want to murder us to 663 00:40:47,400 --> 00:40:51,240 Speaker 4: have the tools to do so. And I think Israel's 664 00:40:51,280 --> 00:40:54,120 Speaker 4: attack did enormous benefit to America. 665 00:40:54,560 --> 00:40:57,080 Speaker 1: You mentioned taking away their tools, and one of their 666 00:40:57,080 --> 00:40:59,920 Speaker 1: tools was going after their scientists. I mean, this is 667 00:41:00,080 --> 00:41:04,400 Speaker 1: the brains behind everything. This took a lot of planning 668 00:41:04,880 --> 00:41:07,640 Speaker 1: and apparently it was incredibly successful as well. I mean, 669 00:41:07,680 --> 00:41:12,640 Speaker 1: this is taking out their nervous system of the computer system, 670 00:41:12,640 --> 00:41:15,600 Speaker 1: whatever you want to call it, for their nuclear program 671 00:41:15,640 --> 00:41:18,080 Speaker 1: by going after the scientists. It's absolutely brilliant, and they 672 00:41:18,120 --> 00:41:18,840 Speaker 1: pulled it off. 673 00:41:19,440 --> 00:41:19,879 Speaker 2: They did. 674 00:41:20,000 --> 00:41:24,560 Speaker 4: It was executed with amazing precision. Now it's early. Look, 675 00:41:24,840 --> 00:41:27,240 Speaker 4: you and I are both talking early in the morning, 676 00:41:27,280 --> 00:41:32,360 Speaker 4: Friday morning. It is possible that that problems developed later Friday, 677 00:41:32,440 --> 00:41:35,719 Speaker 4: later Saturday, later Sunday. One of the challenges of doing 678 00:41:35,800 --> 00:41:38,880 Speaker 4: a show like this at the beginning of military conflict 679 00:41:39,000 --> 00:41:41,200 Speaker 4: is you don't know how things will shake out. But 680 00:41:41,280 --> 00:41:43,520 Speaker 4: I will say this, so Benjamin Netanya who is a 681 00:41:43,520 --> 00:41:48,160 Speaker 4: strong conservative, One of his predecessors as Israeli Prime minister 682 00:41:48,719 --> 00:41:53,840 Speaker 4: was Enough Tolly Bennett. Now enough Tolly had been previously Netanyah, 683 00:41:53,840 --> 00:41:59,240 Speaker 4: who's chief of staff. But then but then Bennett broke 684 00:41:59,360 --> 00:42:03,760 Speaker 4: with nen Yahoo and ended up becoming prime minister himself 685 00:42:04,160 --> 00:42:07,600 Speaker 4: in significant part by opposing nen Nyahu. But I want 686 00:42:07,640 --> 00:42:11,160 Speaker 4: you to listen to this clip of former Israeli Prime 687 00:42:11,160 --> 00:42:14,840 Speaker 4: minister and nough Tlly Bennett talking about what this is 688 00:42:14,880 --> 00:42:15,919 Speaker 4: all about. Give a listen. 689 00:42:16,320 --> 00:42:21,440 Speaker 7: Well, the Israeli had a siren across the country indicating 690 00:42:21,560 --> 00:42:26,200 Speaker 7: that Israel's air force is conducting a prempt to strike 691 00:42:26,520 --> 00:42:32,440 Speaker 7: against Iran's military facilities and perhaps also the nuclear facilities. 692 00:42:33,440 --> 00:42:36,440 Speaker 7: I want to remind you that Iran's about a week 693 00:42:36,480 --> 00:42:41,840 Speaker 7: away from being able to obtain the amount of enriched 694 00:42:41,960 --> 00:42:46,040 Speaker 7: uranium for ten bombs. So this is not me saying, 695 00:42:46,040 --> 00:42:54,360 Speaker 7: this is the international nuclear community and the goal ultimately 696 00:42:54,400 --> 00:42:56,720 Speaker 7: will be to remove the nuclear. 697 00:42:56,360 --> 00:42:59,360 Speaker 8: Threat from the Middle East. And sitting the head of 698 00:42:59,400 --> 00:43:02,919 Speaker 8: the octaple of Terra that should have been causing all 699 00:43:02,960 --> 00:43:05,360 Speaker 8: of the mess we've seen over the past couple of 700 00:43:05,480 --> 00:43:09,080 Speaker 8: years in the region, I mean, there it is. 701 00:43:10,000 --> 00:43:14,680 Speaker 4: And I will say when today's Democrats in the Senate 702 00:43:14,680 --> 00:43:17,560 Speaker 4: and House are to the left of that are saying 703 00:43:17,680 --> 00:43:20,560 Speaker 4: do not attack Iran, and we're going to see I'm 704 00:43:20,560 --> 00:43:23,280 Speaker 4: going to make a prediction in the hours and days ahead, 705 00:43:24,000 --> 00:43:26,440 Speaker 4: We're going to see a massive rise in the attacks 706 00:43:26,480 --> 00:43:29,680 Speaker 4: from the anti Semitic left. And the anti Semitic left 707 00:43:29,719 --> 00:43:32,280 Speaker 4: is growing bigger and bigger, and so those who hate 708 00:43:32,320 --> 00:43:35,759 Speaker 4: Israel will be really vocal, and unfortunately there's also a 709 00:43:35,840 --> 00:43:38,680 Speaker 4: contingent on the anti Semitic right. The anti Semitic right 710 00:43:38,760 --> 00:43:41,759 Speaker 4: is smaller than the left, but both of them are 711 00:43:41,880 --> 00:43:45,640 Speaker 4: absolutely wrong, and you're going to see online people say 712 00:43:46,160 --> 00:43:49,560 Speaker 4: the Israelis are dragging us into war. I'm here to 713 00:43:49,600 --> 00:43:53,480 Speaker 4: tell you the Israelis are acting to prevent war, to 714 00:43:53,600 --> 00:43:57,720 Speaker 4: prevent Iran from getting nuclear weapons, and those nuclear weapons 715 00:43:57,719 --> 00:44:01,440 Speaker 4: could well be used to murder millions of Israelis or 716 00:44:01,520 --> 00:44:07,000 Speaker 4: millions of Americans. And so Israel is acting in self defense. 717 00:44:07,640 --> 00:44:12,280 Speaker 4: And and I want to be clear, America stands with Israel. 718 00:44:12,880 --> 00:44:13,480 Speaker 3: Don't forget. 719 00:44:13,560 --> 00:44:16,640 Speaker 1: Share this podcast with your family and friends, share it 720 00:44:16,680 --> 00:44:19,279 Speaker 1: on social media, please, and I'll see you back here 721 00:44:19,520 --> 00:44:20,000 Speaker 1: tomorrow
