1
00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:02,600
Speaker 1: Second hour of play and Bock kicks off now. And

2
00:00:02,680 --> 00:00:06,800
Speaker 1: as you know, there was a series of major strikes

3
00:00:06,840 --> 00:00:11,920
Speaker 1: by Israel's air force on nuclear sites and high level

4
00:00:11,920 --> 00:00:17,360
Speaker 1: military targets, including individual military personnel and nuclear scientists all

5
00:00:17,400 --> 00:00:21,560
Speaker 1: across Iran just about I don't know, I can't do

6
00:00:21,640 --> 00:00:24,000
Speaker 1: the math, but in the last twenty four hours for sure,

7
00:00:24,600 --> 00:00:28,760
Speaker 1: probably like eighteen hours ago, and so we will continue

8
00:00:28,760 --> 00:00:31,560
Speaker 1: to follow that story closely. We've got Scott Jennings. We're

9
00:00:31,600 --> 00:00:34,080
Speaker 1: efforting him right now. He is in Israel. You know

10
00:00:34,159 --> 00:00:40,160
Speaker 1: Scott from the gentlemanly slaps that he dishes out over

11
00:00:40,200 --> 00:00:45,000
Speaker 1: at CNN to various Democrats and leftists on one of

12
00:00:45,000 --> 00:00:46,800
Speaker 1: their shows. We'll see we can get it. We're having

13
00:00:46,800 --> 00:00:48,720
Speaker 1: a little bit of technical issue because you know he's

14
00:00:48,720 --> 00:00:50,199
Speaker 1: on the other side of the world, so we'll see

15
00:00:50,200 --> 00:00:52,440
Speaker 1: if we can have him join us from Israel. Also,

16
00:00:52,520 --> 00:00:54,680
Speaker 1: just some other stories we are watching as we continue

17
00:00:54,680 --> 00:00:58,800
Speaker 1: to deep dive into the preemptive strike, which is what

18
00:00:59,080 --> 00:01:03,080
Speaker 1: Israel is officially calling it on Iran and its nuclear

19
00:01:03,480 --> 00:01:06,800
Speaker 1: capability and ballistic missile capability and the IRGC. I mean,

20
00:01:06,840 --> 00:01:09,679
Speaker 1: they just they went for it in a big way.

21
00:01:10,760 --> 00:01:14,319
Speaker 1: You have still the ongoing back and forth with Trump

22
00:01:14,440 --> 00:01:19,479
Speaker 1: and Newsom in Los Angeles and California. More broadly, Trump

23
00:01:19,560 --> 00:01:22,920
Speaker 1: put out this tweet I shouldn't say tweet truth yesterday

24
00:01:23,040 --> 00:01:27,320
Speaker 1: Clay the Biden administration and Governor Nuskum. He wrote, Nuskum

25
00:01:27,920 --> 00:01:32,040
Speaker 1: flooded America with twenty one million illegal aliens, destroying schools, hospitals,

26
00:01:32,040 --> 00:01:36,520
Speaker 1: and communities, and consuming untold billions of dollars in free welfare.

27
00:01:36,920 --> 00:01:39,039
Speaker 1: All of them have to go home, as do countless

28
00:01:39,080 --> 00:01:41,640
Speaker 1: other illegals and criminals who will turn us into a

29
00:01:41,680 --> 00:01:45,760
Speaker 1: bankrupt third world nation. America was invaded and occupied. I

30
00:01:45,800 --> 00:01:50,960
Speaker 1: am reversing the invasion. It's called remigration. Our courageous ice

31
00:01:51,000 --> 00:01:54,200
Speaker 1: officers who are daily being subjected to doxing and murder

32
00:01:54,240 --> 00:01:57,440
Speaker 1: threats are heroes. We will always have their back as

33
00:01:57,480 --> 00:01:59,760
Speaker 1: they carry out this noble mission. America will be four

34
00:02:00,320 --> 00:02:05,640
Speaker 1: Americans again. Very strong statement from President Trump on the

35
00:02:05,720 --> 00:02:10,840
Speaker 1: continued mission to both stabilize things in Los Angeles County

36
00:02:11,760 --> 00:02:16,200
Speaker 1: and continue the deportation operations. It was pretty stunning, Clay,

37
00:02:16,440 --> 00:02:21,079
Speaker 1: but I guess not surprising. A lower court judge slapped

38
00:02:21,160 --> 00:02:25,120
Speaker 1: down Trump's deployment of the National Guard basically said Trump's

39
00:02:25,160 --> 00:02:27,799
Speaker 1: not allowed to do this. Gavin Newsom is the only

40
00:02:27,800 --> 00:02:31,519
Speaker 1: one who can call the shots. Then the Appeals Court,

41
00:02:31,639 --> 00:02:34,240
Speaker 1: I believe, looked at it and slapped down the slap

42
00:02:34,280 --> 00:02:38,600
Speaker 1: down with a stay of the stay because the President

43
00:02:38,680 --> 00:02:40,720
Speaker 1: of the United States, think about our history. If the

44
00:02:40,720 --> 00:02:42,919
Speaker 1: President of the United States, Oh, we have Scott Jennings,

45
00:02:43,000 --> 00:02:43,840
Speaker 1: we do well.

46
00:02:44,080 --> 00:02:47,040
Speaker 2: I was having you can give us a stem winder

47
00:02:47,080 --> 00:02:48,440
Speaker 2: on the supremacy clause.

48
00:02:50,480 --> 00:02:52,400
Speaker 1: Clause was right on top of my mind there, But

49
00:02:52,440 --> 00:02:57,440
Speaker 1: we got Scott Jennings live from Israel. CNNs owned Scott Jennings. Scott,

50
00:02:57,480 --> 00:02:58,920
Speaker 1: what's it like over there? What's going on?

51
00:03:00,280 --> 00:03:02,800
Speaker 3: Well, great to hear your voice. You know, it's interesting.

52
00:03:02,840 --> 00:03:05,960
Speaker 3: I'm in Tiberius, literally standing on the bank of the

53
00:03:05,960 --> 00:03:09,160
Speaker 3: Sea of Galilee right now, looking due east, which is

54
00:03:09,200 --> 00:03:11,920
Speaker 3: towards Tehran, and it's a little calm out here at

55
00:03:11,919 --> 00:03:15,040
Speaker 3: Shabbat Friday night here in Israel, so a lot of

56
00:03:15,080 --> 00:03:17,480
Speaker 3: people are with their families that inside. And right before

57
00:03:17,480 --> 00:03:19,600
Speaker 3: we connected, I got ALERD on my phone. I think

58
00:03:19,639 --> 00:03:22,960
Speaker 3: people may be going into safe rooms now because of

59
00:03:22,960 --> 00:03:26,160
Speaker 3: a possible missile incoming from Yemen, but other than that,

60
00:03:26,200 --> 00:03:31,360
Speaker 3: everything's fine. So we're all just amazed at the news

61
00:03:31,400 --> 00:03:33,720
Speaker 3: today and what Israel pulled off, apparently with the help

62
00:03:33,760 --> 00:03:37,880
Speaker 3: of our President Donald Trump, to really defeat the principal

63
00:03:38,240 --> 00:03:40,800
Speaker 3: and know it's the head of the octopus, and to

64
00:03:40,880 --> 00:03:44,880
Speaker 3: take away their nuclear capabilities, to decapitate the government of

65
00:03:44,920 --> 00:03:47,200
Speaker 3: the worst people in the world. You know, these people

66
00:03:47,200 --> 00:03:52,280
Speaker 3: they killed today are the absolute founders of terror. It's

67
00:03:52,280 --> 00:03:54,360
Speaker 3: a great day. This has been twenty twenty five years

68
00:03:54,360 --> 00:03:56,160
Speaker 3: in the making. I'm glad Israel pulled the trigger.

69
00:03:56,600 --> 00:03:59,160
Speaker 2: Scott, you're over there right now. I was there in December.

70
00:03:59,800 --> 00:04:03,960
Speaker 2: They stopped all air travel, everything else. We've got you know,

71
00:04:04,040 --> 00:04:07,160
Speaker 2: millions of Americans listening right now who have not been

72
00:04:07,200 --> 00:04:08,920
Speaker 2: to Israel before, who've not seen it.

73
00:04:09,000 --> 00:04:11,400
Speaker 4: What it's like in a time of war? What is

74
00:04:11,440 --> 00:04:11,800
Speaker 4: it like?

75
00:04:11,960 --> 00:04:14,800
Speaker 2: What was your experience like? I know you posted your

76
00:04:15,600 --> 00:04:18,320
Speaker 2: bomb alerts that came onto the phone. For people who

77
00:04:18,400 --> 00:04:20,800
Speaker 2: will maybe never go to Israel and certainly will not

78
00:04:20,880 --> 00:04:23,760
Speaker 2: be there in a time of war, what's the experience

79
00:04:24,080 --> 00:04:27,120
Speaker 2: like for you and for the average Israeli right now?

80
00:04:28,440 --> 00:04:31,000
Speaker 3: Well, you know, they live with something every day of

81
00:04:31,040 --> 00:04:34,360
Speaker 3: these possible incoming rocket and missile strikes, so you know,

82
00:04:34,800 --> 00:04:36,960
Speaker 3: it's really common for them to get alerts and to

83
00:04:37,000 --> 00:04:38,920
Speaker 3: go into safe rooms. A lot of the buildings or

84
00:04:38,960 --> 00:04:41,520
Speaker 3: apartments or houses you're in would have a safe room,

85
00:04:41,920 --> 00:04:43,719
Speaker 3: and they take it all in stride. It's just part

86
00:04:43,720 --> 00:04:46,440
Speaker 3: of daily life. I mean, obviously, this attack on Iran

87
00:04:46,640 --> 00:04:49,560
Speaker 3: is extremely unusual, so it has the country on a

88
00:04:49,560 --> 00:04:52,080
Speaker 3: heightened state of alert. But on day to day life,

89
00:04:52,240 --> 00:04:54,440
Speaker 3: you know, they take it in stride and they go

90
00:04:54,480 --> 00:04:57,200
Speaker 3: about their business and they just live with it. Of course,

91
00:04:57,600 --> 00:04:59,680
Speaker 3: you know, they live with the being surrounded by their

92
00:04:59,760 --> 00:05:02,960
Speaker 3: enemy all the time, and they've just had to learn

93
00:05:03,000 --> 00:05:06,440
Speaker 3: to incorporate into their daily life. I have enjoyed being here.

94
00:05:06,560 --> 00:05:09,960
Speaker 3: This is an incredibly hospitable country everywhere I've gone from

95
00:05:10,000 --> 00:05:12,119
Speaker 3: the north to the south. I've been to the Gaza border,

96
00:05:12,120 --> 00:05:14,240
Speaker 3: I've been to the Lebanon border. I've been in Jerusalem

97
00:05:14,320 --> 00:05:16,839
Speaker 3: and Tel Aviv and a lot of places in between.

98
00:05:17,360 --> 00:05:22,000
Speaker 3: Extremely hospitable, welcoming to Americans, appreciative of the relationship between

99
00:05:22,520 --> 00:05:25,680
Speaker 3: Israel and the United States. I had not been, I

100
00:05:25,680 --> 00:05:28,599
Speaker 3: would have no qualms whatsoever about bringing my family back

101
00:05:28,600 --> 00:05:31,279
Speaker 3: here to visit again. It's been an amazing experience.

102
00:05:32,200 --> 00:05:36,240
Speaker 1: Scott, there seemed to be some difference in the reporting

103
00:05:36,360 --> 00:05:38,599
Speaker 1: about how some aspect of this went down. I'm wondering

104
00:05:38,640 --> 00:05:41,200
Speaker 1: if you either have insight or just what your assessment

105
00:05:41,200 --> 00:05:46,400
Speaker 1: of it is that Trump was essentially new one hundred percent.

106
00:05:46,480 --> 00:05:49,719
Speaker 1: This was coming well in advance, and so there was

107
00:05:50,080 --> 00:05:52,919
Speaker 1: the head fake, if you will, of hanging out with

108
00:05:52,960 --> 00:05:55,479
Speaker 1: Clay and me for one thing, you know, having a

109
00:05:55,480 --> 00:05:58,680
Speaker 1: good time in the Oval office, the picnic that was scheduled,

110
00:05:59,320 --> 00:06:01,719
Speaker 1: Secretary of Defense went to a baseball game with his kids.

111
00:06:02,560 --> 00:06:05,120
Speaker 1: Then there's other people who are saying, oh, but President

112
00:06:05,160 --> 00:06:09,479
Speaker 1: Trump told them not to. NETANYAHUO said, look, we can't

113
00:06:09,480 --> 00:06:12,599
Speaker 1: wait anymore. And then Trump just rolled with it because

114
00:06:12,600 --> 00:06:13,880
Speaker 1: it's ultimately Israel's call.

115
00:06:14,040 --> 00:06:14,520
Speaker 4: How do you.

116
00:06:14,560 --> 00:06:18,160
Speaker 1: See the last let's say, three or four days playing

117
00:06:18,200 --> 00:06:21,400
Speaker 1: out as it pertains to Trump and his role in

118
00:06:21,440 --> 00:06:21,960
Speaker 1: all of this.

119
00:06:23,160 --> 00:06:25,359
Speaker 3: Well, I think people who hate Donald Trump are always

120
00:06:25,360 --> 00:06:26,960
Speaker 3: going to come up with a narrative that tries to

121
00:06:27,000 --> 00:06:29,760
Speaker 3: make him look bad no matter what happens. That's number one.

122
00:06:29,880 --> 00:06:32,800
Speaker 3: Number two. I go back sixty days, sixty one days,

123
00:06:33,200 --> 00:06:36,320
Speaker 3: sixty one days ago, Donald Trump said publicly Iran has

124
00:06:36,360 --> 00:06:39,240
Speaker 3: sixty days to make a deal. Today is day sixty one.

125
00:06:39,960 --> 00:06:42,880
Speaker 3: So he told the world, and I ran clearly what

126
00:06:42,920 --> 00:06:45,239
Speaker 3: they needed to do in order to avoid this outcome.

127
00:06:45,279 --> 00:06:48,839
Speaker 3: And here we are sixty one days later, and Iran

128
00:06:48,920 --> 00:06:51,680
Speaker 3: didn't make a deal. They couldn't bring themselves to understand

129
00:06:51,680 --> 00:06:54,280
Speaker 3: the position they were in. And now Israel is doing

130
00:06:54,279 --> 00:06:57,080
Speaker 3: the work of dismantling the enemy of Western civilization. But

131
00:06:57,160 --> 00:07:00,360
Speaker 3: the President of the United States warned them, and now

132
00:07:00,400 --> 00:07:03,560
Speaker 3: they're getting the consequences of failing to heed that warning.

133
00:07:03,640 --> 00:07:06,760
Speaker 3: So I think this Ruse, I think this head fake,

134
00:07:06,839 --> 00:07:08,320
Speaker 3: whatever you want to call it, is going to go

135
00:07:08,400 --> 00:07:12,520
Speaker 3: down in history is one of the most interesting and

136
00:07:12,600 --> 00:07:15,640
Speaker 3: amazing military operations that ever happened. I mean, this is

137
00:07:15,800 --> 00:07:18,440
Speaker 3: essentially page or two point zero. You know what, the

138
00:07:18,480 --> 00:07:22,680
Speaker 3: Israelis constructed here, having Masad inside of Iran, having the

139
00:07:22,720 --> 00:07:25,960
Speaker 3: head fake with the United States. The entire construction of

140
00:07:26,000 --> 00:07:29,440
Speaker 3: this is nothing short of a miracle. And it is

141
00:07:29,480 --> 00:07:31,320
Speaker 3: good for the West, and it is good for America.

142
00:07:31,360 --> 00:07:33,280
Speaker 3: And it is good that Donald Trump was the president,

143
00:07:33,320 --> 00:07:36,440
Speaker 3: because I'm not sure the previous administration would have ever

144
00:07:36,520 --> 00:07:39,160
Speaker 3: participated in something like this to defeat this enemy.

145
00:07:39,400 --> 00:07:41,840
Speaker 2: Scott, you're on CNN talking to a lot of people

146
00:07:41,880 --> 00:07:44,679
Speaker 2: who it appears every night, or reading from the same

147
00:07:44,800 --> 00:07:49,040
Speaker 2: talking points. I haven't really seen an aggressive pushback from

148
00:07:49,160 --> 00:07:51,880
Speaker 2: the left on Israel's actions so far.

149
00:07:52,480 --> 00:07:53,000
Speaker 4: Two parter.

150
00:07:53,280 --> 00:07:55,840
Speaker 2: Have you seen any kind of pushback from a purely

151
00:07:55,920 --> 00:07:57,360
Speaker 2: political perspective? Two?

152
00:07:57,920 --> 00:07:59,080
Speaker 4: Do you expect one?

153
00:07:59,160 --> 00:08:02,680
Speaker 2: Because they march in lockstep, everybody had the Mexican flag up.

154
00:08:03,200 --> 00:08:05,360
Speaker 2: Is Iron's flag going to start showing up and left

155
00:08:05,400 --> 00:08:08,400
Speaker 2: wing bios on social media? How do they respond to

156
00:08:08,440 --> 00:08:11,360
Speaker 2: this or are they actually going to acknowledge that this

157
00:08:11,480 --> 00:08:13,720
Speaker 2: is actually a good thing for global peace?

158
00:08:13,760 --> 00:08:14,720
Speaker 4: What do you anticipate?

159
00:08:16,120 --> 00:08:19,000
Speaker 3: Well, first of all, Ben Rhodes, who was Obama's National

160
00:08:19,040 --> 00:08:21,360
Speaker 3: Security advisor, was one of the first people out to

161
00:08:21,440 --> 00:08:24,800
Speaker 3: criticize this. And you know, his nickname, according to reporting

162
00:08:24,840 --> 00:08:27,160
Speaker 3: in the Obama White House, was Hamas and so.

163
00:08:27,240 --> 00:08:29,320
Speaker 4: That is, by the way, that is quite a nickname.

164
00:08:30,760 --> 00:08:33,480
Speaker 3: Yeah, no kidding. And then you've seen some other fringe

165
00:08:33,520 --> 00:08:36,160
Speaker 3: elements of the left that are very unhappy, because they're

166
00:08:36,200 --> 00:08:39,640
Speaker 3: unhappy anytime Israel in the United States does anything to

167
00:08:39,679 --> 00:08:42,280
Speaker 3: defend itself. What I really think their problem is going

168
00:08:42,360 --> 00:08:45,640
Speaker 3: to be tomorrow these Kings rallies or all these rallies

169
00:08:45,679 --> 00:08:48,280
Speaker 3: that are being held around the country. You can bet

170
00:08:48,440 --> 00:08:51,160
Speaker 3: that the Free Palestine movement will be out there that

171
00:08:51,200 --> 00:08:54,920
Speaker 3: the Palestinian flags and the Hamas colors and all these

172
00:08:54,960 --> 00:08:58,160
Speaker 3: people that have been marching all over college campuses at

173
00:08:58,160 --> 00:09:00,480
Speaker 3: American cities for the last few months. You know they're

174
00:09:00,480 --> 00:09:03,520
Speaker 3: going to be at these events. And I think politically,

175
00:09:03,640 --> 00:09:07,600
Speaker 3: until the left, until the Democrats divorce themselves from this

176
00:09:07,679 --> 00:09:10,280
Speaker 3: bunch of people who, let's just be honest, it has

177
00:09:10,360 --> 00:09:13,480
Speaker 3: nothing to do with Palestine. This is about destabilizing the

178
00:09:13,480 --> 00:09:16,080
Speaker 3: West and destroying the United States of America from within.

179
00:09:16,240 --> 00:09:19,119
Speaker 3: That's what it is. It is a domestic terrorism organization.

180
00:09:19,520 --> 00:09:22,160
Speaker 3: Until you can separate yourself from that, the American people

181
00:09:22,400 --> 00:09:25,880
Speaker 3: are going to continue to punish you and Democrats today.

182
00:09:26,400 --> 00:09:28,880
Speaker 3: I mean not that many statements coming out from Democrats

183
00:09:28,920 --> 00:09:31,720
Speaker 3: in Congress supporting Israel today because they are afraid.

184
00:09:31,920 --> 00:09:33,360
Speaker 5: They are afraid of these people.

185
00:09:33,559 --> 00:09:35,240
Speaker 3: They need to get rid of them and get away

186
00:09:35,280 --> 00:09:36,760
Speaker 3: from them as soon as they can. That is my

187
00:09:36,840 --> 00:09:38,080
Speaker 3: sincereous advice to them.

188
00:09:38,160 --> 00:09:42,160
Speaker 1: But is that even possible, Scott with the makeup, I

189
00:09:42,200 --> 00:09:44,600
Speaker 1: mean politically possible. Right, of course, they could do the

190
00:09:44,679 --> 00:09:48,120
Speaker 1: right thing. But I mean to keep the Democrat coalition

191
00:09:48,280 --> 00:09:53,200
Speaker 1: going such as it is, and it seems like they

192
00:09:53,240 --> 00:09:57,040
Speaker 1: have to pretend that this is the new BLM, like

193
00:09:57,120 --> 00:10:00,240
Speaker 1: this is the new social justice movement, but it's not

194
00:10:00,360 --> 00:10:00,760
Speaker 1: the a LEM.

195
00:10:00,920 --> 00:10:02,640
Speaker 4: It's pro hamas.

196
00:10:04,000 --> 00:10:04,200
Speaker 5: Well.

197
00:10:04,400 --> 00:10:08,679
Speaker 3: The coalition of the Democrats fundamentally thinks America and Western

198
00:10:08,760 --> 00:10:11,000
Speaker 3: values are rotten at the core. I mean, that is

199
00:10:11,040 --> 00:10:14,679
Speaker 3: the sad fact of that party, and they need to

200
00:10:14,960 --> 00:10:17,880
Speaker 3: reverse themselves immediately. I don't know if they can do it,

201
00:10:17,960 --> 00:10:20,679
Speaker 3: but when you look at the energy in their party,

202
00:10:21,080 --> 00:10:24,000
Speaker 3: the beating heart of that party at its core believes

203
00:10:24,040 --> 00:10:27,560
Speaker 3: America is rotten, are founding values are rotten, the West

204
00:10:27,640 --> 00:10:29,839
Speaker 3: is rotten. They look at the world through the lens

205
00:10:29,840 --> 00:10:33,040
Speaker 3: of this oppressed and oppressor, and they believe the United

206
00:10:33,080 --> 00:10:35,040
Speaker 3: States is an oppressor. Well, how can you be a

207
00:10:35,040 --> 00:10:38,600
Speaker 3: political party in the United States if you believe those things?

208
00:10:38,760 --> 00:10:41,000
Speaker 3: And I think that's why they're struggling with the American

209
00:10:41,000 --> 00:10:43,320
Speaker 3: people right now, because most Americans do.

210
00:10:43,280 --> 00:10:45,280
Speaker 5: Not see the world that way.

211
00:10:45,520 --> 00:10:47,679
Speaker 3: And I don't know if they can get rid of it,

212
00:10:47,720 --> 00:10:49,560
Speaker 3: but it would help them if they could. But you

213
00:10:49,600 --> 00:10:53,720
Speaker 3: look at where their energy is. The squad crocket, these people,

214
00:10:54,000 --> 00:10:58,520
Speaker 3: these strident voices from the radical left, they're not pro America.

215
00:10:58,160 --> 00:11:02,040
Speaker 3: They don't believe in our founding values. They don't believe

216
00:11:02,080 --> 00:11:05,200
Speaker 3: in Western civilization. In many cases, they certainly don't believe

217
00:11:05,240 --> 00:11:07,240
Speaker 3: in our relationship with Israel. They're going to have a

218
00:11:07,280 --> 00:11:11,280
Speaker 3: tough time here divorcing themselves, but they really should try

219
00:11:11,360 --> 00:11:14,360
Speaker 3: because it's killing them. It is killing their party. And

220
00:11:14,400 --> 00:11:16,960
Speaker 3: you know, as a Republican, you know it's good politically,

221
00:11:17,000 --> 00:11:18,839
Speaker 3: but I hate it for the United States that one

222
00:11:18,840 --> 00:11:20,920
Speaker 3: of our two political parties has fallen a victim of

223
00:11:20,920 --> 00:11:22,000
Speaker 3: this hateful ideology.

224
00:11:22,360 --> 00:11:25,439
Speaker 2: We're talking to Scott Jennings's in Israel. Last question for you, Scott,

225
00:11:25,440 --> 00:11:26,960
Speaker 2: and we appreciate you making the time. I know it's

226
00:11:27,080 --> 00:11:29,560
Speaker 2: night coming over in Israel, not to mention who knows

227
00:11:29,600 --> 00:11:32,760
Speaker 2: what might happen with that occurring. But back here in

228
00:11:32,800 --> 00:11:35,280
Speaker 2: the States, when you see some owned biles come after

229
00:11:35,440 --> 00:11:41,600
Speaker 2: Riley Gaines, and when you have conversations with off air Democrats,

230
00:11:42,000 --> 00:11:45,800
Speaker 2: do they acknowledge privately that their public stance in favor

231
00:11:46,040 --> 00:11:49,040
Speaker 2: of men in women's sports is absolutely insane.

232
00:11:50,880 --> 00:11:54,080
Speaker 3: Every single person that I know from that side of

233
00:11:54,080 --> 00:11:57,400
Speaker 3: the ball, from that profession professional Democrats know that it's

234
00:11:57,480 --> 00:12:00,360
Speaker 3: killing them, and they also know that they're not a

235
00:12:00,480 --> 00:12:02,640
Speaker 3: darn thing they can do about it. I mean, that

236
00:12:02,960 --> 00:12:05,560
Speaker 3: is the fundamental problem they have. They know the right

237
00:12:05,559 --> 00:12:08,000
Speaker 3: thing to do, but they can't do anything about it.

238
00:12:08,040 --> 00:12:10,720
Speaker 3: Either they live in fear or they know that. The

239
00:12:10,720 --> 00:12:13,280
Speaker 3: way their party works, I mean, they're authoritarians, you know,

240
00:12:13,320 --> 00:12:16,079
Speaker 3: and you're not allowed to get out of line. You're

241
00:12:16,120 --> 00:12:17,960
Speaker 3: not allowed to say, wait a minute, look what they

242
00:12:17,960 --> 00:12:20,480
Speaker 3: did to Fetterman when he got out of line on Israel,

243
00:12:21,160 --> 00:12:22,559
Speaker 3: you know. I mean they're out there saying y ought

244
00:12:22,559 --> 00:12:24,600
Speaker 3: to be in a straight jacket. I mean, his own

245
00:12:24,800 --> 00:12:27,760
Speaker 3: staff was out there saying that you are not allowed

246
00:12:27,800 --> 00:12:31,480
Speaker 3: to get out of line inside the Democratic Party controlled

247
00:12:31,520 --> 00:12:35,320
Speaker 3: by the radical left, even on obvious ninety five five issues,

248
00:12:35,320 --> 00:12:37,880
Speaker 3: which this issue is, you're not allowed to get out

249
00:12:37,880 --> 00:12:39,960
Speaker 3: of line. And even you even have to say things

250
00:12:39,960 --> 00:12:42,200
Speaker 3: like we need more studies. We need more studies to

251
00:12:42,200 --> 00:12:46,199
Speaker 3: find out if men and women are different. I think

252
00:12:46,240 --> 00:12:46,600
Speaker 3: we need.

253
00:12:46,720 --> 00:12:50,160
Speaker 1: Jennings, Scott stay safe over there. Thanks for making the

254
00:12:50,160 --> 00:12:53,800
Speaker 1: time for us, all right.

255
00:12:53,880 --> 00:12:54,200
Speaker 4: Thank you.

256
00:12:54,640 --> 00:12:56,960
Speaker 1: Looking out for the lives of unborn children is Preborn's

257
00:12:57,000 --> 00:13:00,000
Speaker 1: highest priority. Their second highest priority is the pregnant mother

258
00:13:00,120 --> 00:13:02,840
Speaker 1: of that child. Last year alone, Preborn made it possible

259
00:13:02,840 --> 00:13:07,560
Speaker 1: for sixty five thousand unborn children to have life save

260
00:13:07,679 --> 00:13:10,720
Speaker 1: them from abortion. This only is possible because of the

261
00:13:10,760 --> 00:13:13,840
Speaker 1: donations that come in from you, the pro life community

262
00:13:14,040 --> 00:13:18,280
Speaker 1: that let's Preborn go about their incredibly important mission of

263
00:13:18,320 --> 00:13:21,719
Speaker 1: saving lives. Over the past two decades, three hundred and

264
00:13:21,760 --> 00:13:24,040
Speaker 1: fifty thousand babies have been brought into this world as

265
00:13:24,080 --> 00:13:27,400
Speaker 1: a result of their efforts and your donations. Voting for

266
00:13:27,440 --> 00:13:30,600
Speaker 1: people who are pro life, yes, very important. Acting on

267
00:13:30,640 --> 00:13:33,760
Speaker 1: your pro life beliefs, of course critical. But there are

268
00:13:33,760 --> 00:13:36,600
Speaker 1: only so many things that can be done day in

269
00:13:36,640 --> 00:13:39,720
Speaker 1: and day out to actually save lives. Preborn is doing

270
00:13:39,760 --> 00:13:42,720
Speaker 1: one of them right now. They're offering love and support

271
00:13:42,720 --> 00:13:45,920
Speaker 1: to moms little tiny babies in the womb right now.

272
00:13:46,160 --> 00:13:46,600
Speaker 4: Need you.

273
00:13:47,640 --> 00:13:50,920
Speaker 1: Preborn operates their clinics and communities across the nation where

274
00:13:50,920 --> 00:13:53,280
Speaker 1: there are the highest abortion rates, and they do this

275
00:13:53,320 --> 00:13:56,720
Speaker 1: to save the maximum number of lives day in and

276
00:13:56,800 --> 00:13:59,559
Speaker 1: day out. They need your support, the pro life community,

277
00:13:59,600 --> 00:14:03,240
Speaker 1: and they need it today. To donate securely, dial pound

00:14:23,120 --> 00:14:29,520
Speaker 2: We were about to tee up the padea ridiculousness and uh,

283
00:14:29,680 --> 00:14:33,320
Speaker 2: and appreciate Scott Jennings taking the time CNN to discuss

284
00:14:33,360 --> 00:14:36,480
Speaker 2: with us what he was seeing on the ground in Israel. Uh,

285
00:14:36,640 --> 00:14:41,200
Speaker 2: but the uh padilla, let's play the audio. I'm sure

286
00:14:41,200 --> 00:14:42,960
Speaker 2: you guys have seen it. But before we do, buck,

287
00:14:43,040 --> 00:14:45,920
Speaker 2: I did. I tweeted this last night as the Israel

288
00:14:45,960 --> 00:14:50,440
Speaker 2: attack began on Iran. I did couldn't stop but laugh

289
00:14:50,480 --> 00:14:54,360
Speaker 2: a little bit because that was so planned and they

290
00:14:54,360 --> 00:14:57,720
Speaker 2: were gonna get multiple days out of Oh my goodness,

291
00:14:57,720 --> 00:15:01,160
Speaker 2: can you believe how they treated us sitting United States senator?

292
00:15:01,200 --> 00:15:04,560
Speaker 2: If they'll force him to not charge a cabinet secretary,

293
00:15:04,640 --> 00:15:06,920
Speaker 2: they'll murder you if you like he knew it was

294
00:15:07,000 --> 00:15:08,360
Speaker 2: so planned.

295
00:15:07,960 --> 00:15:08,760
Speaker 4: And so fake.

296
00:15:09,400 --> 00:15:11,960
Speaker 2: And then as soon as the Israel attack happened, it

297
00:15:12,040 --> 00:15:15,880
Speaker 2: went from the A block on every show discussion to

298
00:15:16,080 --> 00:15:16,960
Speaker 2: like the F block.

299
00:15:17,120 --> 00:15:19,000
Speaker 4: But I do think we should play it and make

300
00:15:19,040 --> 00:15:19,720
Speaker 4: fun of this guy.

301
00:15:20,200 --> 00:15:20,400
Speaker 3: Uh.

302
00:15:20,440 --> 00:15:24,800
Speaker 2: Here is cut seven. Here he is interrupting Christy Nome. Uh.

303
00:15:24,800 --> 00:15:27,040
Speaker 4: This is what it sounded like yesterday afternoon.

304
00:15:27,200 --> 00:15:39,680
Speaker 3: I have the.

305
00:15:39,680 --> 00:15:41,440
Speaker 5: Secretary because the fact that.

306
00:15:43,120 --> 00:15:48,800
Speaker 2: A dozen finals that you're on your.

307
00:15:48,120 --> 00:15:49,400
Speaker 4: I also want to of.

308
00:15:51,200 --> 00:15:54,560
Speaker 2: This is so pathetic and the audio is even funnier.

309
00:15:55,200 --> 00:15:56,920
Speaker 2: And let me play this because I do think buck

310
00:15:56,960 --> 00:15:59,920
Speaker 2: this is emblematic of how they're losing ground. Here's the

311
00:16:00,000 --> 00:16:04,040
Speaker 2: even A Smith from ESPN ripping Senator Padilla. You want

312
00:16:04,040 --> 00:16:07,160
Speaker 2: to know how you're losing men, you'll look like losers

313
00:16:07,280 --> 00:16:11,560
Speaker 2: streaming at female cabinet secretaries during press conferences.

314
00:16:11,600 --> 00:16:12,160
Speaker 4: Cut eleven.

315
00:16:12,400 --> 00:16:14,680
Speaker 6: Here you have this, Senator Alex Media.

316
00:16:15,240 --> 00:16:17,280
Speaker 4: Can Christinaan speak?

317
00:16:17,880 --> 00:16:21,760
Speaker 6: Could you have waited until she finished to ask your questions?

318
00:16:22,360 --> 00:16:25,560
Speaker 6: To shout your questions? You are a senator, right, you

319
00:16:25,600 --> 00:16:28,320
Speaker 6: couldn't wait? So that was just you out of control

320
00:16:28,360 --> 00:16:30,720
Speaker 6: because you were just losing it. Hup, You, a United

321
00:16:30,720 --> 00:16:35,080
Speaker 6: States senator, couldn't compose yourself and let the head of

322
00:16:35,080 --> 00:16:38,040
Speaker 6: Homeland Security finish her thoughts before you ask the question?

323
00:16:38,400 --> 00:16:38,880
Speaker 5: Could do that?

324
00:16:39,000 --> 00:16:40,760
Speaker 2: Huh?

325
00:16:41,240 --> 00:16:41,480
Speaker 4: Fuck?

326
00:16:41,560 --> 00:16:43,680
Speaker 2: I think this is indicative. I mean when Stephen A.

327
00:16:43,800 --> 00:16:47,640
Speaker 2: Smith is saying you need to compose yourself more, I mean, look,

328
00:16:47,720 --> 00:16:50,600
Speaker 2: this is embarrassing. This is how you lose dudes. Nobody

329
00:16:50,640 --> 00:16:53,840
Speaker 2: thinks a guy storming up at a woman and yelling

330
00:16:53,880 --> 00:16:55,840
Speaker 2: at her during a press conference is a way to

331
00:16:55,880 --> 00:16:56,560
Speaker 2: impress people.

332
00:16:57,520 --> 00:17:00,920
Speaker 1: Yes, and this guy thought this was his big moment.

333
00:17:01,000 --> 00:17:03,120
Speaker 1: I will say, how many people are learning that this

334
00:17:03,160 --> 00:17:05,320
Speaker 1: guy is even a senator? I thought at first the

335
00:17:05,359 --> 00:17:09,680
Speaker 1: state senator right, Oh, no, US senator from California, along

336
00:17:09,720 --> 00:17:13,080
Speaker 1: with Adam Schiff too. Really is there a stay with

337
00:17:13,119 --> 00:17:15,600
Speaker 1: two worse senators than these two clowns at their top

338
00:17:15,640 --> 00:17:17,280
Speaker 1: of the list. Really, you know.

339
00:17:18,440 --> 00:17:21,800
Speaker 2: Who does Massachusetts have because Warren is so bad? Like,

340
00:17:21,840 --> 00:17:24,280
Speaker 2: I don't even know who the other Massachusetts senator is.

341
00:17:25,080 --> 00:17:28,560
Speaker 4: That's fun mean Clays just being mean.

342
00:17:29,119 --> 00:17:29,520
Speaker 3: I don't know.

343
00:17:29,520 --> 00:17:32,280
Speaker 2: Maybe they got they got Pocahontas. Maybe they also have

344
00:17:32,320 --> 00:17:36,800
Speaker 2: Saka Juwella. I'm not sure who exactly represented that's racist.

345
00:17:37,480 --> 00:17:40,680
Speaker 2: That was a pretty good reference historically there by the

346
00:17:40,680 --> 00:17:44,600
Speaker 2: way off the cuff, Pocgonas and Saka Juwella. The leader

347
00:17:44,640 --> 00:17:48,879
Speaker 2: of the Lewis and Clark expedition. Female guy farmers and

348
00:17:49,000 --> 00:17:53,240
Speaker 2: rancher speaking of guides and ranches and everything else. Uh

349
00:17:53,280 --> 00:17:56,679
Speaker 2: My guy Ben and his wife Corley are phenomenal and

350
00:17:56,720 --> 00:17:59,560
Speaker 2: I love their company. They got four young kids and

351
00:17:59,600 --> 00:18:03,439
Speaker 2: it's fin And you know what, Dad likes steaks. Just

352
00:18:03,480 --> 00:18:06,320
Speaker 2: don't overthink it. Get Dad some great meat. If he

353
00:18:06,359 --> 00:18:08,679
Speaker 2: doesn't like steak, he probably likes salmon. If he doesn't

354
00:18:08,720 --> 00:18:11,879
Speaker 2: like salmon, he probably likes chicken. If he doesn't eat meat, well,

355
00:18:11,920 --> 00:18:13,560
Speaker 2: this is not the right company for you, and you're

356
00:18:13,560 --> 00:18:16,480
Speaker 2: probably not listening because your dad or granddad probably does

357
00:18:16,800 --> 00:18:20,560
Speaker 2: like meat. No hormones, antibotics or seed oils one important ingredient.

Speaker 1: Sexton Show YouTube channel. So we were with the President yesterday,

376
00:19:18,119 --> 00:19:22,359
Speaker 1: just in the hours before h the strikes by Israel

377
00:19:22,359 --> 00:19:25,200
Speaker 1: and Iran commenced, and I can tell you the President

378
00:19:25,400 --> 00:19:28,639
Speaker 1: was he was in a great mood. We were happy.

379
00:19:28,640 --> 00:19:30,640
Speaker 1: We had just had a really good, wide ranging discussion.

380
00:19:30,640 --> 00:19:32,080
Speaker 1: We spent on about a half an hour with them

381
00:19:32,119 --> 00:19:35,919
Speaker 1: in the Oval office. Our friends Caroline Levitt and Margo

382
00:19:36,040 --> 00:19:40,080
Speaker 1: Martin and Steven Miller and you know jd Vance. You know,

383
00:19:40,119 --> 00:19:42,879
Speaker 1: they came by Vice President events and just spend some

384
00:19:42,920 --> 00:19:44,960
Speaker 1: time with us. We wanted to talk to them about

385
00:19:45,240 --> 00:19:47,960
Speaker 1: how the how the administration is just making us all

386
00:19:47,960 --> 00:19:50,879
Speaker 1: so proud and and they said very nice things about

387
00:19:50,880 --> 00:19:54,280
Speaker 1: the show. But there was one thing on the on

388
00:19:54,359 --> 00:19:56,159
Speaker 1: the substance side. Now that just to be clear, the

389
00:19:56,160 --> 00:19:58,520
Speaker 1: discussion with Trump wasn't off the record, but you know,

390
00:19:58,640 --> 00:20:01,280
Speaker 1: private conversations. But there's one thing, Yes, sir, we.

391
00:20:01,359 --> 00:20:06,080
Speaker 2: Got a guest, Ben Shapiro is waiting to talk with us,

392
00:20:06,080 --> 00:20:08,280
Speaker 2: and you are I thought that was the next hour.

393
00:20:08,320 --> 00:20:10,760
Speaker 4: I'm sorry. That is on me. That is on me.

394
00:20:11,240 --> 00:20:13,280
Speaker 4: Ben Ben is Ben is always welcome.

395
00:20:13,359 --> 00:20:13,560
Speaker 5: Ben.

396
00:20:13,680 --> 00:20:16,240
Speaker 1: Thank you from the founder of The Daily Wire and

397
00:20:16,320 --> 00:20:19,399
Speaker 1: the host of the Ben Shapiro Show, and Ben, at

398
00:20:19,480 --> 00:20:21,520
Speaker 1: least you know what our segment will be in the

399
00:20:21,640 --> 00:20:22,960
Speaker 1: halfway mark of the next hour.

400
00:20:23,000 --> 00:20:24,080
Speaker 4: So thank you for being Yeah.

401
00:20:24,119 --> 00:20:27,359
Speaker 5: I mean, guys, that's an amazing forward pitch. Thank you

402
00:20:27,840 --> 00:20:29,400
Speaker 5: that story. That is just really fun.

403
00:20:29,760 --> 00:20:32,520
Speaker 1: That that tease was sold so hard that I actually

404
00:20:32,560 --> 00:20:35,680
Speaker 1: convinced myself that's where we were going. So all right, Ben,

405
00:20:35,720 --> 00:20:37,520
Speaker 1: we we gotta we gonna do a hard turn here.

406
00:20:38,160 --> 00:20:40,119
Speaker 1: We got to turn like an F eighteen. That's just

407
00:20:40,160 --> 00:20:44,040
Speaker 1: commenced a strike, run or finish one. Uh, tell us

408
00:20:44,080 --> 00:20:47,720
Speaker 1: about your your first sense of what's going on here

409
00:20:47,720 --> 00:20:51,040
Speaker 1: with the strikes in in Iran against the reactors and

410
00:20:51,119 --> 00:20:52,840
Speaker 1: against the military targets.

411
00:20:53,440 --> 00:20:55,600
Speaker 5: I mean, first of all, astonishing level of success from

412
00:20:55,600 --> 00:20:58,199
Speaker 5: the Israelis here. So my understanding is from all my

413
00:20:58,240 --> 00:21:02,280
Speaker 5: sources on the ground on both sides meeting American and Israeli,

414
00:21:02,680 --> 00:21:06,359
Speaker 5: that Israel has completely destroyed the Naton's nuclear reactor, that

415
00:21:06,480 --> 00:21:10,879
Speaker 5: Israel is currently doing heavy damage to other nuclear reactors

416
00:21:10,920 --> 00:21:14,440
Speaker 5: around the region. They took out perhaps nearly the entire

417
00:21:14,440 --> 00:21:17,679
Speaker 5: echelon of the IRGC, the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps in

418
00:21:17,800 --> 00:21:20,400
Speaker 5: targeted strikes. Many of them were killed in their beds.

419
00:21:20,480 --> 00:21:22,600
Speaker 5: They were not suspecting that this was going to happen.

420
00:21:23,280 --> 00:21:26,480
Speaker 5: There was apparently an operation that the Israelis told talk

421
00:21:26,480 --> 00:21:29,119
Speaker 5: to news about in which they had essentially suffered a

422
00:21:29,119 --> 00:21:32,960
Speaker 5: bunch of top IRGC generals into a room to plan

423
00:21:33,560 --> 00:21:37,480
Speaker 5: the possible retaliation next week. And they had essentially the

424
00:21:37,560 --> 00:21:40,439
Speaker 5: Israelis that it sounds like, leaked information to them to

425
00:21:40,440 --> 00:21:41,720
Speaker 5: get them to do that, and then kept them in

426
00:21:41,760 --> 00:21:43,440
Speaker 5: the room and then hit the room and killed everybody

427
00:21:43,440 --> 00:21:46,520
Speaker 5: in the room. They had massad agents on the ground

428
00:21:46,520 --> 00:21:49,119
Speaker 5: who had set up effectively a drone factory on the

429
00:21:49,119 --> 00:21:51,360
Speaker 5: ground in Iran, and then they were releasing these drones

430
00:21:51,440 --> 00:21:54,600
Speaker 5: to take out a lot of Iranian munitions, including the

431
00:21:54,640 --> 00:21:57,040
Speaker 5: ballistic missile stocks that they were going to use to

432
00:21:57,080 --> 00:21:59,800
Speaker 5: respond to Israel. And so for you know, at this

433
00:21:59,840 --> 00:22:04,199
Speaker 5: point more than twelve hours, Israel has been running bombing

434
00:22:04,280 --> 00:22:07,480
Speaker 5: raids over Iran utterly unfettered. I mean, first of all,

435
00:22:07,480 --> 00:22:09,480
Speaker 5: Iran did not have an effective air force. Iran's air

436
00:22:09,520 --> 00:22:12,919
Speaker 5: force is all old F fourteen's and so twenty four's

437
00:22:12,920 --> 00:22:14,760
Speaker 5: and stuff that just will not hold up to an

438
00:22:14,760 --> 00:22:17,159
Speaker 5: sixteen or an F thirty five. But beyond that, the

439
00:22:17,160 --> 00:22:21,239
Speaker 5: ballistic missile stores have been really devastated. Iran's Arsenal has

440
00:22:21,280 --> 00:22:25,040
Speaker 5: been really deeply harmed, and that means that their capacity

441
00:22:25,080 --> 00:22:26,720
Speaker 5: to respond has been at the very least limited, and

442
00:22:26,760 --> 00:22:29,760
Speaker 5: so we've seen pretty dessultory response from Iran so far.

443
00:22:30,040 --> 00:22:32,200
Speaker 5: One hundred drones that were shot down last night and

444
00:22:32,280 --> 00:22:35,040
Speaker 5: one hundred drones that were shot down today, and then

445
00:22:35,320 --> 00:22:37,560
Speaker 5: just a few minutes ago there's an announcement that there's

446
00:22:37,560 --> 00:22:40,119
Speaker 5: a belief that Iran is firing ballistic missiles. Right now,

447
00:22:41,200 --> 00:22:43,600
Speaker 5: pretty much all the countries in the region are scrambling

448
00:22:43,640 --> 00:22:47,159
Speaker 5: to knock those down. That includes supposed condemners of the

449
00:22:47,160 --> 00:22:49,760
Speaker 5: Israelis like the Saudis. The Saudi's put out a statement

450
00:22:49,880 --> 00:22:53,840
Speaker 5: that basically was the Catherine Han wink from Wanavision. Oh,

451
00:22:53,880 --> 00:22:56,720
Speaker 5: we're so sad, We're really upset that Israel. No one

452
00:22:56,800 --> 00:22:59,479
Speaker 5: is happier in the region than Mohammed Vinzelman that Israel

453
00:22:59,600 --> 00:23:02,879
Speaker 5: did this. And so they've they've been participating in knocking

454
00:23:02,880 --> 00:23:05,200
Speaker 5: down the ordinance coming the other way. The Jordanians have,

455
00:23:05,280 --> 00:23:09,000
Speaker 5: the Egyptians have, the Americans have, the Brits have, and

456
00:23:09,080 --> 00:23:11,000
Speaker 5: so right now this appears to be one of the

457
00:23:11,040 --> 00:23:16,040
Speaker 5: most shockingly successful military operations in modern history, and the

458
00:23:16,080 --> 00:23:18,080
Speaker 5: other competitor for that title is probably the Deeper Operation

459
00:23:18,119 --> 00:23:20,480
Speaker 5: from last year. So the IDEAF is really flexing an

460
00:23:20,480 --> 00:23:21,840
Speaker 5: extraordinary amount muscle right now.

461
00:23:22,080 --> 00:23:24,680
Speaker 2: Ben what happens with the Ayatola because you take out

462
00:23:24,720 --> 00:23:27,800
Speaker 2: all of his military leadership. He's been in command now

463
00:23:27,960 --> 00:23:31,320
Speaker 2: since nineteen seventy nine, the revolution thanks for coming on,

464
00:23:32,280 --> 00:23:36,400
Speaker 2: and now two generations later, he doesn't have the ability

465
00:23:36,440 --> 00:23:38,680
Speaker 2: to defend his people at all against what he calls

466
00:23:38,720 --> 00:23:42,680
Speaker 2: the Great Satan in Israel, and they're wiping him out.

467
00:23:42,960 --> 00:23:45,840
Speaker 2: How do you think ordinary This is a really interesting question.

468
00:23:45,920 --> 00:23:49,400
Speaker 2: I think, how do you think ordinary Iranians are responding

469
00:23:49,440 --> 00:23:52,400
Speaker 2: to this to the extent they can get accurate information

470
00:23:52,880 --> 00:23:55,760
Speaker 2: and what happens for him going forward based on what

471
00:23:55,800 --> 00:23:56,760
Speaker 2: we're seeing right now.

472
00:23:57,240 --> 00:23:59,440
Speaker 5: So the first thing to understand is that the Iranian

473
00:23:59,440 --> 00:24:02,600
Speaker 5: regime is deeply fearful for its future, not from the

474
00:24:02,600 --> 00:24:04,720
Speaker 5: external forces, but from internal forces. And the way you

475
00:24:04,720 --> 00:24:07,200
Speaker 5: can tell this is that I was informed by an

476
00:24:07,280 --> 00:24:10,520
Speaker 5: Israeli source today that very early on after it became

477
00:24:10,560 --> 00:24:13,199
Speaker 5: clear that Israel had complete control over the Iranian airspace,

478
00:24:13,200 --> 00:24:15,800
Speaker 5: and I mean complete control, they're flying daytime raids. They're

479
00:24:15,800 --> 00:24:20,000
Speaker 5: apparently refueling in Syrian airspace. They are they're flying basically

480
00:24:20,040 --> 00:24:23,880
Speaker 5: unfettered throughout Iran. That during this time, Iran shut down

481
00:24:23,920 --> 00:24:27,119
Speaker 5: their entire Internet because they are afraid that the Iranians,

482
00:24:27,400 --> 00:24:29,159
Speaker 5: that the Iranian people are going to get number one

483
00:24:29,160 --> 00:24:30,920
Speaker 5: news from outside, number two, that they're going to convey

484
00:24:30,960 --> 00:24:32,879
Speaker 5: news from inside, and that they might be able to

485
00:24:32,960 --> 00:24:34,680
Speaker 5: use the Internet to coordinate and sort of move against

486
00:24:34,720 --> 00:24:37,639
Speaker 5: the regime. The Iranian people hate the regime. They do

487
00:24:37,680 --> 00:24:39,959
Speaker 5: not like the regime. They are generally actually quite pro

488
00:24:40,040 --> 00:24:43,359
Speaker 5: Maratha and also pro Israel, and so there's been a

489
00:24:43,400 --> 00:24:45,800
Speaker 5: deep fear among the Aetola's this was going to be

490
00:24:45,840 --> 00:24:48,080
Speaker 5: the result of getting rid of the nuclear program, which

491
00:24:48,119 --> 00:24:49,480
Speaker 5: is why they were so hesitant to get rid of

492
00:24:49,520 --> 00:24:52,359
Speaker 5: the nuclear program. All Iron had was essentially it's oil

493
00:24:52,400 --> 00:24:55,960
Speaker 5: fields and a prospective nuclear program, and they're trying to

494
00:24:56,000 --> 00:24:58,040
Speaker 5: rush forward a bomb hoping that they could become essentially

495
00:24:58,040 --> 00:25:01,040
Speaker 5: the Kim regime in North Korea isolated, did not not

496
00:25:01,080 --> 00:25:04,080
Speaker 5: well involved in the world economy, but almost untouchable because

497
00:25:04,080 --> 00:25:06,479
Speaker 5: of the presence of the nuclear weapon. And Israel has

498
00:25:06,520 --> 00:25:09,639
Speaker 5: basically ended that at least for the foreseeable future, not

499
00:25:09,680 --> 00:25:12,160
Speaker 5: only by taking out hardware, but by killing pretty much

500
00:25:12,160 --> 00:25:16,120
Speaker 5: every major Iranian nuclear science as there is astonishing operation again.

501
00:25:16,200 --> 00:25:18,200
Speaker 5: And so if you're the Iya Tola's at this point,

502
00:25:18,640 --> 00:25:21,080
Speaker 5: you're living in fear of your life from your own people.

503
00:25:21,520 --> 00:25:23,920
Speaker 5: The IERGC seems to be in a state of disrepair

504
00:25:24,040 --> 00:25:26,880
Speaker 5: because they're just again the leadership status was the Israel

505
00:25:26,920 --> 00:25:28,280
Speaker 5: did to them when they just did this, because all low,

506
00:25:28,280 --> 00:25:30,680
Speaker 5: they wiped out a lot of their leadership. And so

507
00:25:30,880 --> 00:25:33,760
Speaker 5: the reason I think that Israel has not struck the

508
00:25:33,760 --> 00:25:37,800
Speaker 5: ite Tols directly is because they're using that as a

509
00:25:38,000 --> 00:25:41,879
Speaker 5: sort of determent for Iran firing more bilistic missiles or

510
00:25:41,880 --> 00:25:44,320
Speaker 5: attempting to fire at American troops or something like that.

511
00:25:44,400 --> 00:25:47,119
Speaker 5: Basically the case being if you kill the Iya tola Is,

512
00:25:47,160 --> 00:25:49,440
Speaker 5: then there's nothing left except you know, whoever has their

513
00:25:49,480 --> 00:25:52,000
Speaker 5: finger on the button. If you leave the isel Is

514
00:25:52,000 --> 00:25:53,200
Speaker 5: in place for now, then what you're saying is the

515
00:25:53,240 --> 00:25:55,600
Speaker 5: iel is listen, you fire back, You go too hard here,

516
00:25:55,600 --> 00:25:57,680
Speaker 5: your oil field are on fire, in your debt. And

517
00:25:57,880 --> 00:26:00,000
Speaker 5: I think that's likely the strategy right now. Israel has

518
00:26:00,200 --> 00:26:03,159
Speaker 5: essentially said that openly just about an hour ago, there

519
00:26:03,160 --> 00:26:05,360
Speaker 5: at least a statement saying that if too many ballistic

520
00:26:05,400 --> 00:26:07,720
Speaker 5: missiles are fired at Israel, orf they're fired into population

521
00:26:07,800 --> 00:26:11,080
Speaker 5: centers in Israel, then other targets wink, wink, not nod.

522
00:26:11,160 --> 00:26:13,359
Speaker 5: Maybe the itola is probably the oil fields go up

523
00:26:13,359 --> 00:26:14,040
Speaker 5: in plans.

524
00:26:14,800 --> 00:26:17,160
Speaker 1: Speaking of Ben Shapiro, founder of The Daily Wire, host

525
00:26:17,200 --> 00:26:20,880
Speaker 1: of The Benzapiro Show, Ben, give me in your mind

526
00:26:21,040 --> 00:26:27,520
Speaker 1: the i'd say realistic but optimistic case for the Middle

527
00:26:27,560 --> 00:26:32,720
Speaker 1: East focused on Israel security, the future of Iran, and

528
00:26:33,080 --> 00:26:36,800
Speaker 1: regional developments. So again, I know I'm asking, you know,

529
00:26:36,840 --> 00:26:38,320
Speaker 1: looking into the future, and with the Middle East, that's

530
00:26:38,320 --> 00:26:40,320
Speaker 1: a very difficult thing and everything can change in a day.

531
00:26:40,400 --> 00:26:43,960
Speaker 1: All those caveats apply. What is the reasonable but optimistic case,

532
00:26:44,000 --> 00:26:45,920
Speaker 1: as you see, it's six months out from now.

533
00:26:46,280 --> 00:26:47,760
Speaker 5: Well, I mean, I think six months out from now

534
00:26:47,800 --> 00:26:50,879
Speaker 5: the realistic. There's the ultra optimistic case, which is the

535
00:26:50,880 --> 00:26:52,800
Speaker 5: regime falls right and that's not caused by some sort

536
00:26:52,840 --> 00:26:55,240
Speaker 5: of ground invasion which literally no one wants, no one

537
00:26:55,280 --> 00:26:57,640
Speaker 5: is calling for, And anybody who's telling you that anyone's

538
00:26:57,640 --> 00:26:59,639
Speaker 5: calling for that is a liar, okay, for people are

539
00:26:59,640 --> 00:27:01,120
Speaker 5: who you are? He to say that they're not telling

540
00:27:01,200 --> 00:27:03,639
Speaker 5: the truth, It is not plausible, nor is it workable,

541
00:27:03,720 --> 00:27:05,760
Speaker 5: nor is it anything that anybody wants to do. If

542
00:27:05,760 --> 00:27:07,960
Speaker 5: there resume were to fall, that's obviously not totally off

543
00:27:08,000 --> 00:27:09,920
Speaker 5: the table, but they would have to come from internal

544
00:27:10,040 --> 00:27:13,480
Speaker 5: machinations inside iron. Assuming that doesn't happen, the most plausible

545
00:27:13,480 --> 00:27:17,200
Speaker 5: scenario at this point is that Iran's military is rendered

546
00:27:17,320 --> 00:27:21,159
Speaker 5: essentially toothless, that Aron is isolated, that they do not

547
00:27:21,280 --> 00:27:24,280
Speaker 5: have any projective power in the region, and as a result,

548
00:27:24,320 --> 00:27:26,120
Speaker 5: many of the states that are threatened by Iran start

549
00:27:26,200 --> 00:27:28,200
Speaker 5: to seek to cut a deal with allies of the

550
00:27:28,280 --> 00:27:30,320
Speaker 5: United States. So that includes Syria, which already is making

551
00:27:30,359 --> 00:27:33,560
Speaker 5: overtures toward the United States, and toward Israel that include Lebanon.

552
00:27:33,680 --> 00:27:35,640
Speaker 5: One of the most astonishing statements that came out very

553
00:27:35,640 --> 00:27:37,479
Speaker 5: early here is that Lebanon, which had been run by

554
00:27:37,480 --> 00:27:40,240
Speaker 5: Habelah until the beginning of last year, when Israel basically

555
00:27:40,280 --> 00:27:44,520
Speaker 5: wrecks of a law, when until then, you know, Hazela

556
00:27:44,600 --> 00:27:46,800
Speaker 5: ran the place, Hasbellah put out a statement saying that

557
00:27:46,840 --> 00:27:49,760
Speaker 5: they stood in solidarity with Iran and then basically gave

558
00:27:49,800 --> 00:27:51,520
Speaker 5: them a high five as big round. I mean, they

559
00:27:51,520 --> 00:27:53,359
Speaker 5: we're not going to do anything because they're afraid that

560
00:27:53,440 --> 00:27:55,520
Speaker 5: Israel is going to destroy them, So you could see

561
00:27:55,520 --> 00:27:58,240
Speaker 5: a complete reorientation of the Middle East. The next step

562
00:27:58,280 --> 00:28:00,320
Speaker 5: would presumably be they're already getting close to the end

563
00:28:00,359 --> 00:28:03,200
Speaker 5: in Gaza that in a few weeks Israel will establish

564
00:28:03,359 --> 00:28:07,040
Speaker 5: complete security control over the Gaza Strip. You would hope

565
00:28:07,040 --> 00:28:09,359
Speaker 5: that there's some sort of deal to get the hostages

566
00:28:09,440 --> 00:28:12,680
Speaker 5: out because now Hamas literally has no sponsors. That's the

567
00:28:12,720 --> 00:28:15,280
Speaker 5: best case scenario. If that doesn't either way, Israel's going

568
00:28:15,280 --> 00:28:17,399
Speaker 5: to have to established security control over the Gaza Strip,

569
00:28:17,600 --> 00:28:19,520
Speaker 5: and then you would imagine that there's going to be

570
00:28:20,119 --> 00:28:23,440
Speaker 5: some talk, some pretty open talk about economic cooperation between

571
00:28:23,440 --> 00:28:26,080
Speaker 5: the Sowd East, Uaebach Rain and Israel. I mean you

572
00:28:26,160 --> 00:28:28,879
Speaker 5: Aan Bahrain are already members of the Abraham Accords. In

573
00:28:28,920 --> 00:28:31,440
Speaker 5: the Middle East. The rule is very simple. It's a

574
00:28:31,480 --> 00:28:34,760
Speaker 5: strong horse region. Whoever is a strong horse is the

575
00:28:34,880 --> 00:28:37,400
Speaker 5: party that people follow and want to be partners with.

576
00:28:37,880 --> 00:28:40,200
Speaker 5: There's no question at this point in time, Israel is

577
00:28:40,680 --> 00:28:42,800
Speaker 5: by far the strongest military force in the region, and

578
00:28:42,960 --> 00:28:44,360
Speaker 5: they're flexing that today.

579
00:28:45,080 --> 00:28:47,000
Speaker 2: Last question for you, Ben, we appreciate the time. By

580
00:28:47,000 --> 00:28:49,520
Speaker 2: the way, Ben, You've got a new book out called

581
00:28:49,600 --> 00:28:53,320
Speaker 2: Lions and Scavengers, the True Story of America that is

582
00:28:53,360 --> 00:28:55,480
Speaker 2: going to be out in September. Buck and I talked

583
00:28:55,480 --> 00:28:59,120
Speaker 2: about this earlier. I'm curious your analysis in the immediate

584
00:28:59,160 --> 00:29:03,880
Speaker 2: aftermath is October seventh looking to be one of the

585
00:29:03,920 --> 00:29:10,120
Speaker 2: most catastrophic strategic decisions made ever and certainly in the

586
00:29:10,160 --> 00:29:13,000
Speaker 2: lives of anybody out there listening right now when you

587
00:29:13,040 --> 00:29:16,360
Speaker 2: look at what's happened to Hamas, has Bola, what's happened

588
00:29:16,400 --> 00:29:19,200
Speaker 2: in Syria, and now what's happening to Iran, is that

589
00:29:19,240 --> 00:29:21,000
Speaker 2: a fair characterization in your mind?

590
00:29:21,480 --> 00:29:24,080
Speaker 5: Absolutely, it's Pearl Harber, right, Pearl Harbor in the moment

591
00:29:24,120 --> 00:29:25,960
Speaker 5: looks really good for the Japanese, and it turns out

592
00:29:25,960 --> 00:29:28,320
Speaker 5: that it ends with the complete destruction of the Japanese

593
00:29:28,400 --> 00:29:30,959
Speaker 5: regime and their control over all external territory. That's what

594
00:29:30,960 --> 00:29:32,920
Speaker 5: this looks like. It looks like October seventh, which is

595
00:29:32,960 --> 00:29:35,720
Speaker 5: activated by the Iranian has now resulted in the complete

596
00:29:35,720 --> 00:29:38,240
Speaker 5: destruction of Hamas. One of the proxies is Bella. Another

597
00:29:38,280 --> 00:29:40,440
Speaker 5: one of the proxies the ASDD regime, which they were

598
00:29:40,520 --> 00:29:44,320
Speaker 5: using as a quasi proxy, and now the complete destruction

599
00:29:44,640 --> 00:29:47,800
Speaker 5: of a huge swath of their military capacity right at home.

600
00:29:47,920 --> 00:29:50,120
Speaker 5: It's just a disastrous decision. And by the way, here

601
00:29:50,320 --> 00:29:53,200
Speaker 5: I just want to say that all Americans, for a

602
00:29:53,280 --> 00:29:55,760
Speaker 5: thousand reasons, but for this reason today should be so

603
00:29:55,880 --> 00:29:58,360
Speaker 5: grateful that Donald Trump is president and Kamala Harris is

604
00:29:58,400 --> 00:30:00,880
Speaker 5: non president. I mean, Donald Trump has been absolutely one

605
00:30:01,000 --> 00:30:03,920
Speaker 5: hundred percent consistent on this issue before he was president

606
00:30:03,960 --> 00:30:05,800
Speaker 5: to now. He said the JCPOA was the worst deal

607
00:30:05,840 --> 00:30:08,160
Speaker 5: in history. He said Iron could not go nuclear. He

608
00:30:08,160 --> 00:30:11,480
Speaker 5: has never threatened to withdraw aid from Israels, He did

609
00:30:11,480 --> 00:30:13,400
Speaker 5: not get America directly involved in this. He said that

610
00:30:13,480 --> 00:30:15,360
Speaker 5: Israel is a good partner to America, which means they

611
00:30:15,360 --> 00:30:17,000
Speaker 5: should go fight their own battles, and Israel is going

612
00:30:17,040 --> 00:30:19,720
Speaker 5: and fighting that battle right now. It is perfectly played

613
00:30:20,000 --> 00:30:22,680
Speaker 5: by President Brump. President from statements today, I have to

614
00:30:22,720 --> 00:30:26,040
Speaker 5: say are simultaneously inspiring and absolutely hilarious. I mean, I

615
00:30:26,080 --> 00:30:27,640
Speaker 5: don't know if you saw that exchange with Dana Bass

616
00:30:27,960 --> 00:30:31,320
Speaker 5: a little bit earlier where the President was talking about

617
00:30:31,360 --> 00:30:34,040
Speaker 5: the death of many of the starts Operanian decision makers,

618
00:30:34,160 --> 00:30:35,960
Speaker 5: and she said from the Israeli He said, well, wasn't

619
00:30:35,960 --> 00:30:36,440
Speaker 5: for COVID.

620
00:30:36,800 --> 00:30:40,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, although they might be counted as COVID deaths to

621
00:30:40,160 --> 00:30:46,240
Speaker 2: be fair bid based on the president set five years ago. Look,

622
00:30:46,280 --> 00:30:48,800
Speaker 2: the book is great. We appreciate you coming on and

623
00:30:48,880 --> 00:30:50,360
Speaker 2: keep up the good work at the Daily Wire and

624
00:30:50,360 --> 00:30:50,840
Speaker 2: we'll talk to.

625
00:30:50,760 --> 00:30:51,200
Speaker 4: You again soon.

626
00:30:51,800 --> 00:30:52,400
Speaker 5: Thanks so much.

627
00:30:52,880 --> 00:30:53,880
Speaker 4: That has been Shapiro.

628
00:30:53,920 --> 00:30:56,600
Speaker 2: And look, many of the best moments in our lives

629
00:30:56,600 --> 00:30:59,000
Speaker 2: we get ready for Father's Day. So many of you

630
00:30:59,040 --> 00:31:00,560
Speaker 2: out there are going to be hanging out with your dad's,

631
00:31:00,640 --> 00:31:03,800
Speaker 2: your granddad's, the important men in your life. How many

632
00:31:03,840 --> 00:31:06,480
Speaker 2: of those Father's Day events are preserved forever?

633
00:31:06,960 --> 00:31:07,800
Speaker 4: Maybe not a lot of them.

634
00:31:07,800 --> 00:31:10,760
Speaker 2: Maybe you got old slides, Maybe you got a lot

635
00:31:10,800 --> 00:31:14,880
Speaker 2: of different media out there, old VCR tapes, Maybe you

636
00:31:15,000 --> 00:31:19,240
Speaker 2: got a bunch of different old pictures. Why not preserve

637
00:31:19,360 --> 00:31:22,800
Speaker 2: them forever digitally so that you don't have to worry

638
00:31:22,880 --> 00:31:25,040
Speaker 2: if for some reason there's a fire at a house,

639
00:31:25,240 --> 00:31:29,120
Speaker 2: or maybe one of your elderly relatives passes and all

640
00:31:29,200 --> 00:31:31,800
Speaker 2: of the old pictures are stored in the attic and

641
00:31:32,080 --> 00:31:35,160
Speaker 2: they don't get found and they end up in somebody

642
00:31:35,160 --> 00:31:38,400
Speaker 2: else's hands, or you just don't know what happened to them. Digitally,

643
00:31:38,480 --> 00:31:41,480
Speaker 2: you can protect those forever. My mother in law just

644
00:31:41,480 --> 00:31:43,680
Speaker 2: bought a new home she went up into the attic

645
00:31:43,880 --> 00:31:47,320
Speaker 2: tons of left behind albums that probably had been forgotten

646
00:31:47,360 --> 00:31:49,280
Speaker 2: that they were in the attic. How many times has

647
00:31:49,320 --> 00:31:52,440
Speaker 2: that happen to you or your family? Wouldn't you like

648
00:31:52,560 --> 00:31:55,520
Speaker 2: to know that you've preserved your family's legacy for as

649
00:31:55,600 --> 00:31:58,959
Speaker 2: long as you can look into the future by digitizing

650
00:31:59,080 --> 00:32:01,960
Speaker 2: everything out there that you have created and that your

651
00:32:01,960 --> 00:32:05,040
Speaker 2: family has made for great memories years and years in

652
00:32:05,080 --> 00:32:08,640
Speaker 2: the past. Old tapes, cassettes, film reels, print photos, whatever

669
00:33:06,720 --> 00:33:12,560
Speaker 2: I got an interesting message a from a friend's wife

670
00:33:12,880 --> 00:33:16,400
Speaker 2: who is Iranian and still has a lot of family

671
00:33:16,600 --> 00:33:20,640
Speaker 2: back in Iran, and I thought it was particularly interesting

672
00:33:20,760 --> 00:33:24,400
Speaker 2: because what she said is something that I think is

673
00:33:24,480 --> 00:33:27,320
Speaker 2: quite true. And you just heard Ben Shapiro kind of

674
00:33:27,360 --> 00:33:30,920
Speaker 2: echoing this on some bit. But she just wrote, just

675
00:33:30,960 --> 00:33:36,200
Speaker 2: wanted to confirm about the bombing on Iran. Many Iranians

676
00:33:36,240 --> 00:33:41,840
Speaker 2: are happy Israel took out these Islamic fanatics. They hope

677
00:33:41,880 --> 00:33:45,400
Speaker 2: she's speaking on behalf of Iranians in the country. They

678
00:33:45,480 --> 00:33:48,240
Speaker 2: hope this is the beginning of the end of forty

679
00:33:48,320 --> 00:33:52,440
Speaker 2: seven years of terror for my fellow Iranians. Thank you

680
00:33:52,480 --> 00:33:55,120
Speaker 2: guys for speaking the truth and standing up for justice.

681
00:33:55,200 --> 00:33:57,760
Speaker 2: I think it is very important for everybody out there

682
00:33:57,800 --> 00:34:00,720
Speaker 2: to understand, and I know this is the case, but

683
00:34:00,800 --> 00:34:06,360
Speaker 2: sometimes you forget. Many times people are being led by

684
00:34:06,560 --> 00:34:09,799
Speaker 2: leaders that they despise, but the leaders rule with such

685
00:34:09,800 --> 00:34:13,560
Speaker 2: an iron fist that if you rise up against them,

686
00:34:13,760 --> 00:34:17,000
Speaker 2: they will kill you. They will kill all of the

687
00:34:17,040 --> 00:34:20,480
Speaker 2: members of your family. That's what they've been dealing with

688
00:34:20,560 --> 00:34:24,560
Speaker 2: for over forty years now in Iran. And so the

689
00:34:24,600 --> 00:34:27,240
Speaker 2: Iranian people I think as a whole that they actually

690
00:34:27,280 --> 00:34:29,600
Speaker 2: had the freedom again. You can go back and watch

691
00:34:30,360 --> 00:34:34,080
Speaker 2: nineteen seventies before the Ayatola came in. There's just women

692
00:34:34,120 --> 00:34:36,319
Speaker 2: walking around in the heels, in mini skirts in the

693
00:34:36,320 --> 00:34:40,000
Speaker 2: streets of Tehran. I mean, as Middle Eastern countries go,

694
00:34:40,520 --> 00:34:43,239
Speaker 2: the people were quite free compared to what they live

695
00:34:43,320 --> 00:34:43,800
Speaker 2: with today.

696
00:34:44,600 --> 00:34:47,920
Speaker 1: Yes, and it would be a great thing if Iran

697
00:34:48,320 --> 00:34:54,680
Speaker 1: became a country that people of Persian and Iranian heritage.

698
00:34:54,800 --> 00:34:56,640
Speaker 1: That's not all that, it's not entirely the same thing.

699
00:34:56,719 --> 00:34:59,560
Speaker 1: Persians are an ethnicity within what we think of as

700
00:34:59,600 --> 00:35:02,400
Speaker 1: modern ar On today, but they're a large you know,

701
00:35:02,680 --> 00:35:07,640
Speaker 1: that's the most predominant ethnicity there. It could be a

702
00:35:07,640 --> 00:35:09,759
Speaker 1: great country. It could be a great country. You know,

703
00:35:09,800 --> 00:35:13,600
Speaker 1: how often do we sit around particularly worried about the

704
00:35:13,640 --> 00:35:16,680
Speaker 1: future of I don't know, like Morocco or Turkey. No,

705
00:35:17,400 --> 00:35:19,200
Speaker 1: you know, we play them in soccer, maybe in the

706
00:35:19,239 --> 00:35:22,160
Speaker 1: World Cup and we go visit them, and it doesn't

707
00:35:22,239 --> 00:35:23,719
Speaker 1: have to be this way. It's a little like I

708
00:35:23,760 --> 00:35:25,840
Speaker 1: feel on the crime issue when you go to a

709
00:35:25,840 --> 00:35:29,480
Speaker 1: country that a place like Japan, for example, though I

710
00:35:29,480 --> 00:35:30,759
Speaker 1: haven't been there, but you go to a country where

711
00:35:30,760 --> 00:35:31,880
Speaker 1: they really have or even just in an area of

712
00:35:31,880 --> 00:35:34,160
Speaker 1: the country where they really have almost no crime, you.

713
00:35:34,120 --> 00:35:35,320
Speaker 4: Say it could be this way.

714
00:35:35,440 --> 00:35:37,719
Speaker 1: Iran doesn't have to be a terrorrist sponsoring hell hole.

715
00:35:37,840 --> 00:35:40,560
Speaker 1: We don't actually have to accept that the world's got

716
00:35:40,560 --> 00:35:42,600
Speaker 1: plenty of problems without Iran doing what it does.

717
00:35:42,880 --> 00:35:45,760
Speaker 2: And think about this from on behalf of the Iranian people.

718
00:35:45,920 --> 00:35:48,040
Speaker 2: Let's say that you were open to the idea that

719
00:35:48,120 --> 00:35:50,840
Speaker 2: the Ayatolas, we're doing a good job running your country.

720
00:35:50,960 --> 00:35:54,080
Speaker 4: Where's all your money gone? Where have all your resources gone?

721
00:35:54,120 --> 00:35:58,399
Speaker 2: They've had control for forty seven years, essentially forty five years,

722
00:35:58,480 --> 00:36:01,120
Speaker 2: whatever the heck of the math is forty six years.

723
00:36:01,440 --> 00:36:02,280
Speaker 4: What are they doing.

724
00:36:02,320 --> 00:36:05,000
Speaker 2: They can't even stand up to Israel at all, the

725
00:36:05,040 --> 00:36:07,759
Speaker 2: country that they've been labeling the Great Satan and saying

726
00:36:07,760 --> 00:36:09,799
Speaker 2: they were going to wipe off the map. Israel has

727
00:36:09,800 --> 00:36:14,920
Speaker 2: completely decapitated their government. Yes, and it's also just getting

728
00:36:14,960 --> 00:36:18,120
Speaker 2: started in some ways, meaning there could be more there

729
00:36:18,120 --> 00:36:20,680
Speaker 2: could be more pressure, there could be more strikes, depends

730
00:36:20,680 --> 00:36:26,160
Speaker 2: on what the Iranian response will be. And this is like, look,

731
00:36:26,239 --> 00:36:28,400
Speaker 2: so far, it's a remarkable success. Like I said, you

732
00:36:28,400 --> 00:36:30,080
Speaker 2: don't want to celebrate too early. They have to keep

733
00:36:30,120 --> 00:36:31,920
Speaker 2: their head on a squibble. We have to keep our

734
00:36:31,960 --> 00:36:35,080
Speaker 2: head in a swivel here too. These are determined enemies

735
00:36:35,280 --> 00:36:39,399
Speaker 2: of the jihadist camp. But so far, Clay, this has

736
00:36:39,440 --> 00:36:41,400
Speaker 2: been an incredible success.

737
00:36:42,040 --> 00:36:45,840
Speaker 1: And a lot of people here who were gloom and

738
00:36:45,880 --> 00:36:50,640
Speaker 1: doom and catastrophe if Israel took this action. So far,

739
00:36:50,960 --> 00:36:52,680
Speaker 1: they missed this, and they missed it by a mile.

740
00:36:52,800 --> 00:36:54,360
Speaker 1: So we'll continue to watch this closely.

741
00:36:54,520 --> 00:36:56,720
Speaker 2: We come back, we'll talk more about meeting with President

742
00:36:56,800 --> 00:36:58,880
Speaker 2: Trump in the Oval Office yesterday.

743
00:36:58,920 --> 00:37:08,520
Speaker 4: Thanks for hanging with us Friday, m
