1 00:00:01,000 --> 00:00:04,040 Speaker 1: So let's start with the latest breaking news, and that 2 00:00:04,160 --> 00:00:07,320 Speaker 1: is there's a real chance now but the United States 3 00:00:07,320 --> 00:00:12,280 Speaker 1: of America may join Israel in the war against Iran. Now, 4 00:00:12,440 --> 00:00:17,480 Speaker 1: let me explain why this could take place, and I 5 00:00:17,560 --> 00:00:23,040 Speaker 1: also understand what war means in twenty twenty five. Number one, 6 00:00:23,360 --> 00:00:25,599 Speaker 1: there is no chance that Donald Trump is going to 7 00:00:25,640 --> 00:00:28,880 Speaker 1: put troops on the ground. There will be no boots 8 00:00:28,920 --> 00:00:31,760 Speaker 1: on the ground. That is not what this means. That's 9 00:00:31,840 --> 00:00:35,960 Speaker 1: number one. Number Two, this is not an invasion of 10 00:00:36,000 --> 00:00:38,320 Speaker 1: Iraq or Afghanistan, which there have been many that have 11 00:00:38,360 --> 00:00:40,240 Speaker 1: been lying about that over the last several hours. 12 00:00:40,240 --> 00:00:41,360 Speaker 2: So I want to clear that up. 13 00:00:41,400 --> 00:00:44,680 Speaker 1: In fact, I've talked to several of my good friends 14 00:00:44,680 --> 00:00:47,639 Speaker 1: that work in the administration and they're saying that is 15 00:00:47,840 --> 00:00:52,920 Speaker 1: not even a remote possibility. What Donald Trump is saying 16 00:00:52,960 --> 00:00:55,440 Speaker 1: to Iran is simple surrender. 17 00:00:56,040 --> 00:00:56,600 Speaker 2: That's it. 18 00:00:57,280 --> 00:01:01,880 Speaker 1: Surrender and do the deal on your nuclear program or 19 00:01:01,960 --> 00:01:05,959 Speaker 1: prepare for your nuclear program to be annihilated. That is 20 00:01:06,000 --> 00:01:09,200 Speaker 1: what he is saying. And he's not mincing words on 21 00:01:09,240 --> 00:01:14,120 Speaker 1: this either, because as Donald Trump has said, look, we 22 00:01:14,200 --> 00:01:17,759 Speaker 1: can take total control of Iranian airspace as Israel is done. 23 00:01:18,319 --> 00:01:20,880 Speaker 1: And we also know where the iotola is hiding now. 24 00:01:20,920 --> 00:01:22,440 Speaker 2: We're not going to kill him right now. 25 00:01:22,480 --> 00:01:25,480 Speaker 1: But he's telling me Ittola, like you want to die, fine, 26 00:01:25,520 --> 00:01:26,800 Speaker 1: Like we can make that happen. 27 00:01:26,959 --> 00:01:29,280 Speaker 2: We know where you are and we can kill you. 28 00:01:29,440 --> 00:01:31,479 Speaker 1: We would rather not do that, but if you want 29 00:01:31,480 --> 00:01:33,600 Speaker 1: to stay in power, then you better do the damn deal. 30 00:01:34,440 --> 00:01:37,200 Speaker 1: And so what would this look like is I think 31 00:01:37,200 --> 00:01:41,039 Speaker 1: a better way of putting it. If we did get involved, 32 00:01:41,080 --> 00:01:45,720 Speaker 1: it would actually be very very simple. We would use 33 00:01:45,800 --> 00:01:48,800 Speaker 1: the technology that I think we're the only country that 34 00:01:49,040 --> 00:01:52,120 Speaker 1: has it to go after this nuclear site that is 35 00:01:52,400 --> 00:01:57,400 Speaker 1: very deep underground in Iran. Israel does not have the 36 00:01:57,440 --> 00:01:59,800 Speaker 1: technology to hit that deep. That's part of what you 37 00:01:59,840 --> 00:02:02,200 Speaker 1: need to understand. So again I go back to the 38 00:02:02,240 --> 00:02:04,840 Speaker 1: basic thing. Is this something that America needs to do? 39 00:02:05,120 --> 00:02:07,960 Speaker 2: Yes? I believe it it is, I really do. 40 00:02:08,080 --> 00:02:11,480 Speaker 1: I believe this isn't our best interest for us to 41 00:02:11,560 --> 00:02:15,640 Speaker 1: make sure that there is an Iran that UH is 42 00:02:16,200 --> 00:02:19,720 Speaker 1: not nuclear right. And Donald Trump's also been clear about 43 00:02:19,760 --> 00:02:21,080 Speaker 1: this for quite. 44 00:02:20,760 --> 00:02:22,320 Speaker 2: Some time in finct. 45 00:02:22,720 --> 00:02:25,240 Speaker 1: In fact, he's he has been so clear on this 46 00:02:25,400 --> 00:02:28,680 Speaker 1: since today came down the elevator ten years in one 47 00:02:28,760 --> 00:02:31,520 Speaker 1: day ago or ten years and two days ago, where 48 00:02:31,600 --> 00:02:35,799 Speaker 1: he said to the world that there's no circumstance where 49 00:02:35,880 --> 00:02:40,000 Speaker 1: Ran can get a nuclear weapon. There's no circumstance where 50 00:02:40,120 --> 00:02:44,640 Speaker 1: Ran can get a nuclear weapon that is significant, and 51 00:02:44,680 --> 00:02:48,280 Speaker 1: the President is not bluffing on this, Okay, Like the 52 00:02:48,320 --> 00:02:52,160 Speaker 1: President has made it very clear that you can't trust them. 53 00:02:52,200 --> 00:02:53,520 Speaker 2: Now, why can't you trust them? 54 00:02:53,560 --> 00:02:56,799 Speaker 1: Because they're a murders regime, Like that's what they are. 55 00:02:57,480 --> 00:03:00,880 Speaker 1: And they chant death to America and they chant death 56 00:03:00,919 --> 00:03:01,440 Speaker 1: to Israel. 57 00:03:01,520 --> 00:03:02,960 Speaker 2: So when that's what they. 58 00:03:02,880 --> 00:03:06,680 Speaker 1: Do and that is what they say, then I think you. 59 00:03:06,800 --> 00:03:08,760 Speaker 2: Just say, Okay, I actually believe you. 60 00:03:09,639 --> 00:03:11,560 Speaker 1: I believe you when you tell me that you want 61 00:03:11,560 --> 00:03:16,080 Speaker 1: to kill innocent men, women, children that are Americans, and 62 00:03:16,120 --> 00:03:18,400 Speaker 1: you want to annihilate the Jews. And if you have 63 00:03:18,400 --> 00:03:20,520 Speaker 1: a nuclear weapon, you will either do it or you'll 64 00:03:20,520 --> 00:03:22,520 Speaker 1: give it to one of your terrorist proxy groups that 65 00:03:22,560 --> 00:03:25,160 Speaker 1: you support and they will do it. There's also a 66 00:03:25,280 --> 00:03:27,640 Speaker 1: second part of what's happening right now that I think 67 00:03:27,639 --> 00:03:28,960 Speaker 1: people need to understand as well. 68 00:03:29,520 --> 00:03:31,280 Speaker 2: But first I got to ask you a question. 69 00:03:31,560 --> 00:03:33,720 Speaker 1: Are you one of those that is just so tired 70 00:03:33,720 --> 00:03:36,720 Speaker 1: of giving your money to radical left woke companies that 71 00:03:36,800 --> 00:03:39,640 Speaker 1: actually are fighting against your values every day? 72 00:03:40,200 --> 00:03:42,640 Speaker 2: Well, there are certain bills that you pay. 73 00:03:42,480 --> 00:03:46,000 Speaker 1: Every month that if you can go with a conservative company, 74 00:03:46,240 --> 00:03:48,960 Speaker 1: why not do it? In fact, why not go with 75 00:03:49,080 --> 00:03:51,680 Speaker 1: a conservative company actually takes part of your bill every 76 00:03:51,680 --> 00:03:53,840 Speaker 1: month that you're going to pay to somebody, and they 77 00:03:53,840 --> 00:03:57,280 Speaker 1: give it back to organizations that support your First and 78 00:03:57,360 --> 00:04:01,040 Speaker 1: your Second Amendment rights, that support the rights of born children, 79 00:04:01,640 --> 00:04:06,280 Speaker 1: that stand with our military, are first responders, and so 80 00:04:06,480 --> 00:04:10,119 Speaker 1: many wounded warriors that need help. Well, that bill I'm 81 00:04:10,160 --> 00:04:13,800 Speaker 1: talking about is your cell phone bill. And I've been 82 00:04:13,840 --> 00:04:16,400 Speaker 1: telling you for a long time about Patriot Mobile.

Big Mobile has been giving big donations. 91 00:04:36,920 --> 00:04:42,400 Speaker 1: To democratic causes, democratic candidates, and radical left organizations. I'm 92 00:04:42,400 --> 00:04:48,120 Speaker 1: talking about organizations that actually support abortion. That is why 93 00:04:48,200 --> 00:04:51,320 Speaker 1: I want you to switch right now to Patriot Mobile. 94 00:04:52,000 --> 00:04:54,960 Speaker 1: Go ahead and make the switch, And it's so easy. 95 00:04:55,480 --> 00:04:57,880 Speaker 1: All you have to do is simply call Patriot Mobiles 96 00:04:58,000 --> 00:05:01,280 Speaker 1: one hundred percent US based team from the comfort of 97 00:05:01,320 --> 00:05:04,040 Speaker 1: your home or your office and they'll have you activated 98 00:05:04,040 --> 00:05:06,720 Speaker 1: in minutes.

They were listening to 123 00:06:25,240 --> 00:06:27,400 Speaker 1: the American president of the United States of America, and 124 00:06:27,440 --> 00:06:30,679 Speaker 1: they were leaving because the President said to evacuate Tehran. 125 00:06:31,480 --> 00:06:31,960 Speaker 2: And when he. 126 00:06:31,960 --> 00:06:35,960 Speaker 1: Did that, I think that also said a very Cauer message, like, Hey, 127 00:06:36,200 --> 00:06:38,719 Speaker 1: your guys that claim that they're in charge of your country, 128 00:06:38,760 --> 00:06:41,640 Speaker 1: that are holding you back and oppressing you in our 129 00:06:41,920 --> 00:06:46,040 Speaker 1: brutal dictators of a murder's regime, like they may be 130 00:06:46,160 --> 00:06:47,560 Speaker 1: a lot more vulnerable than. 131 00:06:47,480 --> 00:06:49,080 Speaker 2: You actually understand. 132 00:06:49,839 --> 00:06:54,839 Speaker 1: Also, having air superiority is part three of this. 133 00:06:55,600 --> 00:06:58,000 Speaker 2: The fact that Iran was. 134 00:06:58,000 --> 00:07:01,280 Speaker 1: Able to be decimated when it comes to their air 135 00:07:01,400 --> 00:07:07,279 Speaker 1: power virtually instantly by Israel, and now Israel can do 136 00:07:07,400 --> 00:07:09,320 Speaker 1: whatever they want to do, whenever they want to do it, 137 00:07:09,680 --> 00:07:10,480 Speaker 1: however they want to. 138 00:07:10,480 --> 00:07:13,440 Speaker 2: Do it over the skies of Israel or of Iran. 139 00:07:14,280 --> 00:07:19,880 Speaker 1: It is also incredibly telling, like it is unbelievable now 140 00:07:20,320 --> 00:07:23,720 Speaker 1: what we're looking at, and I mean this like it 141 00:07:23,760 --> 00:07:27,320 Speaker 1: is it is just amazing to me that we have 142 00:07:27,440 --> 00:07:31,760 Speaker 1: seen how quickly Iran has been just decimated and now 143 00:07:31,800 --> 00:07:34,640 Speaker 1: you can do whatever you want to do. Now you 144 00:07:34,800 --> 00:07:38,120 Speaker 1: put all this together in a perfect storm where we 145 00:07:38,160 --> 00:07:41,520 Speaker 1: are now And this is also I think a foreign 146 00:07:41,600 --> 00:07:43,800 Speaker 1: policy issue, or we're sitting the presence of the message 147 00:07:43,800 --> 00:07:46,040 Speaker 1: of the world, Like if I tell you, whether it's 148 00:07:46,040 --> 00:07:49,080 Speaker 1: tariffs or a nuclear program, that this is the deal, 149 00:07:49,560 --> 00:07:51,480 Speaker 1: and you don't believe me, watch. 150 00:07:51,200 --> 00:07:52,640 Speaker 2: How fast you find out? 151 00:07:53,080 --> 00:07:56,120 Speaker 1: Like this goes back to that FAFO mentality of this 152 00:07:56,240 --> 00:07:59,880 Speaker 1: of this administration, like watch and find out. You have 153 00:08:00,120 --> 00:08:03,200 Speaker 1: the President returning to Washington after cutting the G seven 154 00:08:03,240 --> 00:08:06,840 Speaker 1: Canada trip short. You have the President saying, everybody get 155 00:08:06,840 --> 00:08:09,320 Speaker 1: together in the situation room. You have the president telling 156 00:08:09,400 --> 00:08:11,280 Speaker 1: that clearly the vice president to go out and say, hey. 157 00:08:11,200 --> 00:08:12,280 Speaker 2: We may enter this war. 158 00:08:13,040 --> 00:08:18,120 Speaker 1: All of these different scenarios and just how quickly the 159 00:08:18,160 --> 00:08:23,520 Speaker 1: president is moving I think is just no one I 160 00:08:23,560 --> 00:08:26,680 Speaker 1: think believe the President would move this quick. And I 161 00:08:26,720 --> 00:08:28,800 Speaker 1: think he's shown people that like, hey, not only are 162 00:08:28,880 --> 00:08:30,360 Speaker 1: we going to move this quick, but you guys better 163 00:08:30,360 --> 00:08:32,440 Speaker 1: get the hell out of the way. Like when I 164 00:08:32,559 --> 00:08:34,800 Speaker 1: tell you something, if it's sixty days, And that was 165 00:08:34,840 --> 00:08:37,360 Speaker 1: a nice timeline that I gave you, right, it really was. 166 00:08:37,400 --> 00:08:38,600 Speaker 2: It was a nice timeline. 167 00:08:39,200 --> 00:08:41,240 Speaker 1: And the sixty day timeline that I gave you, you should 168 00:08:41,280 --> 00:08:44,560 Speaker 1: have paid attention and you should have listened. And if 169 00:08:44,600 --> 00:08:47,760 Speaker 1: you would have listened, then you wouldn't be in the scenario. 170 00:08:47,920 --> 00:08:49,880 Speaker 1: And so if you're the Iatota right now, you may 171 00:08:49,920 --> 00:08:53,200 Speaker 1: lose everything. I think that's also part of what the 172 00:08:53,200 --> 00:08:57,079 Speaker 1: President is saying. You want to lose everything. You want 173 00:08:57,120 --> 00:08:59,720 Speaker 1: to lose all your power and your life because we 174 00:08:59,800 --> 00:09:03,959 Speaker 1: know where you are and I could kill you right now. 175 00:09:03,800 --> 00:09:05,079 Speaker 2: If I want to. 176 00:09:05,440 --> 00:09:07,880 Speaker 1: The Israelis could kill you right now if they want to. 177 00:09:07,920 --> 00:09:09,520 Speaker 1: There's no reason for you try to run high because 178 00:09:09,520 --> 00:09:11,080 Speaker 1: we're gonna watch you. We know where you are, we 179 00:09:11,080 --> 00:09:13,640 Speaker 1: know where you're going, and if you think for a 180 00:09:13,840 --> 00:09:17,960 Speaker 1: moment that we can't kill you, then you're an idiot. 181 00:09:18,400 --> 00:09:21,640 Speaker 1: This is all part of the presence peace through strength, 182 00:09:21,720 --> 00:09:23,280 Speaker 1: showing you here's. 183 00:09:23,040 --> 00:09:25,560 Speaker 2: Your deadline, and I'm not screwing around now. 184 00:09:25,960 --> 00:09:28,439 Speaker 1: This deadline of sixty days was I also think a 185 00:09:28,520 --> 00:09:30,599 Speaker 1: very nice one. I really do. I think it was 186 00:09:30,640 --> 00:09:33,480 Speaker 1: a very nice deadline. It was one that gave them 187 00:09:33,520 --> 00:09:35,560 Speaker 1: not thirty days, but sixty days to do this. I 188 00:09:35,559 --> 00:09:37,920 Speaker 1: think that's a positive like that was showing that he 189 00:09:38,000 --> 00:09:42,040 Speaker 1: was really willing to come together and he was really 190 00:09:42,160 --> 00:09:47,760 Speaker 1: willing to have a conversation. Unfortunately, Iran and their you know, 191 00:09:48,480 --> 00:09:52,040 Speaker 1: murderous regime, for some reason, thought they were much more 192 00:09:52,080 --> 00:09:54,440 Speaker 1: powerful thany actually were. Well, all that's been shot to 193 00:09:54,480 --> 00:09:58,120 Speaker 1: hell now like it's all just been shot to hell. 194 00:09:58,800 --> 00:10:01,480 Speaker 1: And so where to point now? Where there are three 195 00:10:01,480 --> 00:10:02,559 Speaker 1: different scenarios in. 196 00:10:02,480 --> 00:10:03,520 Speaker 2: My mind that can happen. 197 00:10:03,559 --> 00:10:07,520 Speaker 1: Okay, Number one, we could have total regime change in 198 00:10:07,520 --> 00:10:09,480 Speaker 1: a Ran, and that could happen actually quickly if the 199 00:10:09,480 --> 00:10:12,520 Speaker 1: people rise up. Number Two, we could actually take out 200 00:10:12,520 --> 00:10:15,960 Speaker 1: the leader if we need to, or Israel could take 201 00:10:15,960 --> 00:10:18,040 Speaker 1: out the leader if he needs. 202 00:10:17,800 --> 00:10:19,640 Speaker 2: To, and that could be significant as well. 203 00:10:20,400 --> 00:10:22,520 Speaker 1: Or Three, they come to the deal and they surrender 204 00:10:22,720 --> 00:10:26,520 Speaker 1: and then everything just calms down very quickly. Those are 205 00:10:26,559 --> 00:10:30,920 Speaker 1: three very real and very different scenarios. By the way, 206 00:10:30,960 --> 00:10:32,080 Speaker 1: this is why I love doing the show in the 207 00:10:32,080 --> 00:10:34,640 Speaker 1: podcast because we get to keep you up to date 208 00:10:34,679 --> 00:10:37,160 Speaker 1: with what's going on. So number one makes you subscribe 209 00:10:37,200 --> 00:10:40,079 Speaker 1: to the podcast okay wherever you are so you don't 210 00:10:40,080 --> 00:10:42,560 Speaker 1: miss any of this.

So 213 00:10:47,400 --> 00:10:48,800 Speaker 1: if you want to know what the White House is 214 00:10:48,840 --> 00:10:51,360 Speaker 1: saying and doing when it comes as conflict, download the 215 00:10:51,360 --> 00:10:52,520 Speaker 1: forty seven Morning. 216 00:10:52,280 --> 00:10:55,880 Speaker 2: Update as well and you'll have that also. 217 00:10:57,679 --> 00:11:01,040 Speaker 1: There's also another aspect of this conversation, and it deals 218 00:11:01,040 --> 00:11:05,640 Speaker 1: with the under estimating, yet again by so many in 219 00:11:05,679 --> 00:11:08,280 Speaker 1: the media and so many on Capitolhill, of Donald Trump's 220 00:11:08,320 --> 00:11:11,280 Speaker 1: understanding of the issues here. Kat McFarland is a dear 221 00:11:11,280 --> 00:11:14,599 Speaker 1: friend of mine. She went on Fox Hus Channel with 222 00:11:14,960 --> 00:11:17,720 Speaker 1: Harris Faukner earlier today, and I want you to hear 223 00:11:17,840 --> 00:11:20,920 Speaker 1: what she had to say about the president's choice here 224 00:11:21,000 --> 00:11:24,400 Speaker 1: and deciphering military intelligence before he gets involved. 225 00:11:24,400 --> 00:11:27,560 Speaker 2: Like the President thinks about these things, He's not knee jerk. Listen. 226 00:11:27,760 --> 00:11:31,080 Speaker 3: Letico is calling the conflict Trump's moment of truth quote. 227 00:11:31,240 --> 00:11:34,240 Speaker 3: It's hard to overstate the significance of this moment. American 228 00:11:34,240 --> 00:11:37,440 Speaker 3: involvement in this war could end to Ron's nuclear ambitions 229 00:11:37,480 --> 00:11:41,120 Speaker 3: and even topple its autocratic government, reshaping the Middle East 230 00:11:41,160 --> 00:11:44,120 Speaker 3: for decades to come. The New York Times with this headline, 231 00:11:44,160 --> 00:11:48,640 Speaker 3: Trump's aron choice last chance diplomacy or a bunker busting bomb. 232 00:11:48,960 --> 00:11:53,120 Speaker 3: Katie McFarlane, former deputy National Security advisor to President Trump, 233 00:11:53,200 --> 00:11:56,000 Speaker 3: is here, and I know you have had many of 234 00:11:56,040 --> 00:11:59,160 Speaker 3: your children grown children serving in the military, and you 235 00:11:59,200 --> 00:12:02,280 Speaker 3: have a lot of experiences at these points in time 236 00:12:02,360 --> 00:12:05,800 Speaker 3: when presidents were making these types of decisions. What stands 237 00:12:05,840 --> 00:12:08,640 Speaker 3: out to you the president in with his advisors today. 238 00:12:08,920 --> 00:12:11,800 Speaker 4: Look, I've been in the situation room with President Trump 239 00:12:11,840 --> 00:12:13,560 Speaker 4: where he's had to make decisions like this. 240 00:12:14,080 --> 00:12:15,280 Speaker 2: He is really good. 241 00:12:15,320 --> 00:12:19,440 Speaker 4: This is his finest moment. He's cool, He gathers intelligence, 242 00:12:19,720 --> 00:12:22,400 Speaker 4: he doesn't get the yips. He finds out from his 243 00:12:22,559 --> 00:12:26,199 Speaker 4: military leaders, his diplomatic leaders, his intelligence leaders, what are 244 00:12:26,240 --> 00:12:28,079 Speaker 4: his options, and then he probably thinks of two or 245 00:12:28,120 --> 00:12:30,280 Speaker 4: three other options that nobody else has thought of. 246 00:12:30,640 --> 00:12:32,320 Speaker 2: So what am I looking for right now? 247 00:12:32,400 --> 00:12:35,480 Speaker 4: President Trump has said it pretty well, Aron's not going 248 00:12:35,480 --> 00:12:37,400 Speaker 4: to get a nuclear weapon, and then he said, well, 249 00:12:37,480 --> 00:12:38,640 Speaker 4: let's wait and see. 250 00:12:39,280 --> 00:12:41,200 Speaker 2: President Trump. I don't think he needs to. 251 00:12:41,200 --> 00:12:44,240 Speaker 4: Make the decision right now of whether to attack Florida, 252 00:12:44,320 --> 00:12:46,960 Speaker 4: whether or not to attack Florido. Who knows what the 253 00:12:47,040 --> 00:12:49,680 Speaker 4: Israelis have. We know that the Israelis have commandos on 254 00:12:49,720 --> 00:12:52,040 Speaker 4: the ground in Iran. Maybe there are other ways to 255 00:12:52,120 --> 00:12:55,160 Speaker 4: destroy that nuclear weapons site other than bunker busting bombs 256 00:12:55,160 --> 00:12:56,880 Speaker 4: that American military drop. 257 00:12:57,160 --> 00:12:59,120 Speaker 3: Yeah, and I see you focusing on that because that 258 00:12:59,200 --> 00:13:01,960 Speaker 3: fourto is exactly what people are saying. If you don't 259 00:13:02,000 --> 00:13:05,560 Speaker 3: take that out, you don't take away that pause in 260 00:13:05,640 --> 00:13:09,520 Speaker 3: future capability. I want to get to this because sometimes 261 00:13:09,520 --> 00:13:12,040 Speaker 3: our assets can be enough for an enemy to see 262 00:13:12,240 --> 00:13:14,920 Speaker 3: and they are on the move. The USS Nimics, which 263 00:13:14,960 --> 00:13:18,720 Speaker 3: is the oldest active US aircraft carrier, deployed from the 264 00:13:18,760 --> 00:13:22,280 Speaker 3: South China Sea yesterday headed toward the Middle East. Dozens 265 00:13:22,320 --> 00:13:25,280 Speaker 3: of Air Force refueling tanker aircraft have been moved to 266 00:13:25,320 --> 00:13:29,120 Speaker 3: Europe to position closer to the Mid East, giving President 267 00:13:29,120 --> 00:13:33,120 Speaker 3: Trump and a SITCOM commander more tactical options. And it's 268 00:13:33,320 --> 00:13:37,400 Speaker 3: just part of the United States effort to shift military resources, 269 00:13:37,400 --> 00:13:41,080 Speaker 3: including ships, to the region as tensions are obviously escalating. 270 00:13:41,120 --> 00:13:42,760 Speaker 3: So you've got that on the move, and that in 271 00:13:42,800 --> 00:13:44,439 Speaker 3: itself sends a signal your thoughts. 272 00:13:44,480 --> 00:13:44,719 Speaker 5: K T. 273 00:13:45,240 --> 00:13:45,480 Speaker 2: Yeah. 274 00:13:45,520 --> 00:13:47,840 Speaker 4: I was in the Reagan administration working at the Pentagon 275 00:13:47,960 --> 00:13:51,000 Speaker 4: the last time the United States and Iran had Canaan. 276 00:13:51,280 --> 00:13:55,560 Speaker 4: We're close to a military conflagration, shall we say, I 277 00:13:55,559 --> 00:13:58,000 Speaker 4: mean Iran was trying to do things in the Gulf 278 00:13:58,000 --> 00:14:01,040 Speaker 4: and the United States maybe just stopped and cold. And 279 00:14:01,080 --> 00:14:03,440 Speaker 4: a lot of the senior leadership now of the Iranian 280 00:14:03,480 --> 00:14:07,160 Speaker 4: military would have been the young military officers in the 281 00:14:07,240 --> 00:14:08,920 Speaker 4: nineteen eighties when that happened. 282 00:14:09,080 --> 00:14:10,480 Speaker 2: They would certainly be aware of it. 283 00:14:10,520 --> 00:14:12,400 Speaker 4: I don't think they want to tangle with the United 284 00:14:12,440 --> 00:14:15,480 Speaker 4: States because, as President Trump has said, you know, don't 285 00:14:15,520 --> 00:14:17,720 Speaker 4: mess with Americans, and he said it whether he's talked 286 00:14:17,720 --> 00:14:20,480 Speaker 4: to the Taliban, whether he's talked to the Russians, where 287 00:14:20,480 --> 00:14:22,920 Speaker 4: he's talk to anybody, you harm the hair on the 288 00:14:22,960 --> 00:14:25,520 Speaker 4: head of one American and then we're coming to get you. 289 00:14:25,640 --> 00:14:28,120 Speaker 4: So that's got to be a huge deterney, especially for 290 00:14:28,120 --> 00:14:31,200 Speaker 4: a leadership which is probably under a certain amount of 291 00:14:31,640 --> 00:14:34,440 Speaker 4: internal stress. I mean, if you're the Iatola, if you're 292 00:14:34,480 --> 00:14:35,960 Speaker 4: those generals, you've got to look at the guys to 293 00:14:36,000 --> 00:14:40,440 Speaker 4: your left to you're right. Massad is thoroughly integrated and infiltrated. 294 00:14:40,680 --> 00:14:43,720 Speaker 4: A lot of the military and Iran and the leadership 295 00:14:43,720 --> 00:14:46,640 Speaker 4: in iron they've got to worry about their own job security. 296 00:14:47,360 --> 00:14:49,320 Speaker 1: I mean, really, do I actually agree with the New 297 00:14:49,400 --> 00:14:51,400 Speaker 1: York Times as Katy was talking about there with their 298 00:14:51,440 --> 00:14:54,840 Speaker 1: headline right, Trump's Iran choice last chance diplomacy or a 299 00:14:55,760 --> 00:14:57,240 Speaker 1: bunker busting bomb, and. 300 00:14:57,560 --> 00:14:58,280 Speaker 2: She described it. 301 00:14:58,360 --> 00:15:00,960 Speaker 1: She said, Hey, he doesn't actually have to make that 302 00:15:01,640 --> 00:15:06,200 Speaker 1: decision right now, but you can move the chips to 303 00:15:06,400 --> 00:15:09,280 Speaker 1: isolate Iran's leadership and say, you guys want to still 304 00:15:09,280 --> 00:15:11,200 Speaker 1: be alive, You guys still want to be in charge 305 00:15:11,240 --> 00:15:12,000 Speaker 1: of your country. 306 00:15:12,320 --> 00:15:14,440 Speaker 2: Do you really want to play chicken with us this way? 307 00:15:14,520 --> 00:15:17,840 Speaker 1: I'm not sure you do, because I'm in charge right 308 00:15:17,880 --> 00:15:18,600 Speaker 1: now and I'm. 309 00:15:18,480 --> 00:15:20,040 Speaker 2: Not screwing around now. 310 00:15:20,080 --> 00:15:23,720 Speaker 1: The Iranian Foreign minister, by the way, also had this 311 00:15:23,840 --> 00:15:27,280 Speaker 1: to say moments ago with Larry Kudlow and Fox Business. 312 00:15:27,400 --> 00:15:28,040 Speaker 2: Take a listen. 313 00:15:28,240 --> 00:15:33,520 Speaker 6: Another thing from President Trump. He is telling people in 314 00:15:33,720 --> 00:15:39,840 Speaker 6: Tehran to evacuate immediately. That's a very forceful statement from 315 00:15:40,040 --> 00:15:43,920 Speaker 6: our president, as you know, is a man of straight talk. 316 00:15:44,920 --> 00:15:47,600 Speaker 6: How should we interpret that? What do you think the 317 00:15:47,640 --> 00:15:50,320 Speaker 6: next step is? Is the United States going to join 318 00:15:50,400 --> 00:15:54,120 Speaker 6: the war? Is it just defensive? I mean, why have 319 00:15:54,280 --> 00:15:56,280 Speaker 6: Tehran evacuate immediately? 320 00:15:56,320 --> 00:15:56,920 Speaker 2: In your view? 321 00:15:57,760 --> 00:16:00,840 Speaker 7: First of all, I would like to think President Trump 322 00:16:00,920 --> 00:16:04,480 Speaker 7: and think the US for the support they are giving us, 323 00:16:04,640 --> 00:16:09,320 Speaker 7: you know, defense, It is appreciated here. We will never 324 00:16:10,760 --> 00:16:15,400 Speaker 7: decide for others. It's the president that decides for the 325 00:16:15,560 --> 00:16:20,400 Speaker 7: US based on American interests and define what are the 326 00:16:20,440 --> 00:16:25,480 Speaker 7: American national security interest and they will have their decisions, 327 00:16:25,880 --> 00:16:29,280 Speaker 7: and we can only say thank you for the support 328 00:16:29,320 --> 00:16:30,520 Speaker 7: we are getting for the US. 329 00:16:30,840 --> 00:16:33,160 Speaker 6: But mister Trump is also adding, and this is a 330 00:16:33,280 --> 00:16:39,400 Speaker 6: key phrase, a historic phrase, he wants unconditional surrender. Now, 331 00:16:39,440 --> 00:16:42,760 Speaker 6: I hadn't actually heard anybody say that before. There's a 332 00:16:42,800 --> 00:16:46,560 Speaker 6: long and glorious history of that term, going all the 333 00:16:46,560 --> 00:16:49,400 Speaker 6: way back to Ulysses S. Grant in our Civil War 334 00:16:49,800 --> 00:16:53,400 Speaker 6: and of course going back to World War two. Unconditional 335 00:16:53,520 --> 00:16:56,960 Speaker 6: surrender is that in fact an Israeli goal. 336 00:16:57,840 --> 00:16:58,280 Speaker 8: Well, I. 337 00:16:59,760 --> 00:17:03,200 Speaker 7: Will tell you how I look at it. President Trump 338 00:17:03,360 --> 00:17:08,359 Speaker 7: was very consistent with saying that Iran shouldn't en reached 339 00:17:08,880 --> 00:17:11,400 Speaker 7: and one shouldn't. 340 00:17:10,920 --> 00:17:12,080 Speaker 2: Have a nuclear power. 341 00:17:12,119 --> 00:17:16,560 Speaker 7: And Iran played all the time they use negotiations only 342 00:17:16,640 --> 00:17:20,880 Speaker 7: to waste time. And during that time they also made 343 00:17:20,880 --> 00:17:24,680 Speaker 7: a progress getting closer to. 344 00:17:24,720 --> 00:17:25,639 Speaker 2: A nuclear bomb. 345 00:17:26,160 --> 00:17:28,720 Speaker 7: As a matter of fact, they were very they were 346 00:17:28,880 --> 00:17:32,520 Speaker 7: very close to a nuclear bomb. Try to also deal 347 00:17:32,560 --> 00:17:36,719 Speaker 7: with the weaponization. So the way I see it is 348 00:17:36,760 --> 00:17:40,879 Speaker 7: when President Trump is saying that, he means the same 349 00:17:40,920 --> 00:17:44,400 Speaker 7: thing he said previously that they shouldn't have a nuclear 350 00:17:45,760 --> 00:17:49,440 Speaker 7: weapons and they shouldn't and reach and until now Iran 351 00:17:50,200 --> 00:17:57,639 Speaker 7: just wasted time, deceived live. The IEEA simply said, they 352 00:17:57,640 --> 00:18:01,920 Speaker 7: are in a position of breaching their commitments, in a 353 00:18:02,040 --> 00:18:06,359 Speaker 7: position of non compliance. But the Iranian reaction was, well, 354 00:18:06,480 --> 00:18:11,040 Speaker 7: we will open a new facility and you enrichment facility. 355 00:18:11,280 --> 00:18:16,440 Speaker 7: So this behavior is not acceptable anymore. And President Trump 356 00:18:16,560 --> 00:18:20,280 Speaker 7: is a leader of the free world who is simply 357 00:18:20,359 --> 00:18:23,440 Speaker 7: saying it, very very simply, in a very simple way. 358 00:18:24,800 --> 00:18:26,920 Speaker 1: I mean, you listen to the Israeli Foreign minister quote. 359 00:18:26,920 --> 00:18:28,639 Speaker 1: I would like to thank President Trump and thank the 360 00:18:28,680 --> 00:18:32,840 Speaker 1: US for support they're giving us and our defense. This 361 00:18:32,960 --> 00:18:37,040 Speaker 1: comes back to the issue of defense. Katie and mc 362 00:18:37,160 --> 00:18:40,920 Speaker 1: McFarland saying Trump is really good in deciphering military intelligence, 363 00:18:41,200 --> 00:18:44,760 Speaker 1: and again this comes back to the issue of defense. 364 00:18:45,840 --> 00:18:47,600 Speaker 2: The State Department spokesman. 365 00:18:47,160 --> 00:18:51,520 Speaker 1: Today she put it this way, Cammy Bruce. 366 00:18:52,760 --> 00:18:55,760 Speaker 2: At the podium at the Defense Department, Listen, that is 367 00:18:55,840 --> 00:18:56,640 Speaker 2: up to the president. 368 00:18:56,680 --> 00:18:59,679 Speaker 8: He is the singular guiding hand about what will be 369 00:18:59,680 --> 00:19:03,320 Speaker 8: a cur from this point forward, as he has been, 370 00:19:03,920 --> 00:19:07,440 Speaker 8: and I think that that dynamic is pretty clear. He 371 00:19:07,480 --> 00:19:10,520 Speaker 8: says he wants an end as he has said about 372 00:19:10,600 --> 00:19:15,000 Speaker 8: every conflict that he has as a peacemaker, worked to 373 00:19:15,160 --> 00:19:19,920 Speaker 8: stop peacefully through diplomacy. That has been his commitment. And 374 00:19:20,280 --> 00:19:23,399 Speaker 8: he wants these things, as he said about a number 375 00:19:23,400 --> 00:19:26,639 Speaker 8: of situations, not for a month or six months, but 376 00:19:26,840 --> 00:19:31,679 Speaker 8: durable ends to this nature of forever wars. And that 377 00:19:31,720 --> 00:19:34,320 Speaker 8: has been his posture. And that's his posture now. 378 00:19:35,600 --> 00:19:38,639 Speaker 1: That is his posture now. President Trump is seeking a 379 00:19:38,800 --> 00:19:42,359 Speaker 1: durable end to this nature of forever wars. And this 380 00:19:42,400 --> 00:19:44,960 Speaker 1: has been his posture, and that is his posture now. 381 00:19:45,000 --> 00:19:50,439 Speaker 1: Like he's not changing, he has not been changing. And 382 00:19:50,480 --> 00:19:52,840 Speaker 1: this is the president of the United States of America saying, 383 00:19:53,240 --> 00:19:54,200 Speaker 1: you've got an option. 384 00:19:54,920 --> 00:19:57,520 Speaker 2: Either you get rid of nuclear proiferation. 385 00:19:57,200 --> 00:19:59,240 Speaker 1: Where we can verify it and you do a deal, 386 00:20:00,080 --> 00:20:02,800 Speaker 1: or we'll do it for you, and there's a very 387 00:20:02,800 --> 00:20:04,879 Speaker 1: good chance that we will act, and there's a very 388 00:20:04,920 --> 00:20:07,719 Speaker 1: good chance you could lose everything, including your life. And 389 00:20:07,760 --> 00:20:10,520 Speaker 1: that is him speaking directly the leader of Iran. You 390 00:20:10,560 --> 00:20:12,359 Speaker 1: want to know what strength and peace looks like. You 391 00:20:12,400 --> 00:20:14,879 Speaker 1: want to know what a leadership can you imagine, By 392 00:20:14,920 --> 00:20:16,480 Speaker 1: the way, if Joe Biden was president right now or 393 00:20:16,520 --> 00:20:19,679 Speaker 1: Kamala Hairs, we wouldn't even be having this conversation. The 394 00:20:19,760 --> 00:20:22,800 Speaker 1: conversation we'd be having is about Iran becoming a nuclear country. 395 00:20:23,359 --> 00:20:25,000 Speaker 2: That's the conversation we'd be having. 396 00:20:26,040 --> 00:20:30,480 Speaker 1: Donald Trump's hardline stance on Iran's nuclear program and what 397 00:20:30,560 --> 00:20:34,879 Speaker 1: that means moving forward is becoming much more clear. Donald 398 00:20:34,920 --> 00:20:41,040 Speaker 1: Trump number one demanding Iran's unconditional surrender. Trump escalating his 399 00:20:41,160 --> 00:20:45,200 Speaker 1: rhetoric in light of the recent Israel Iran strikes, calling 400 00:20:45,240 --> 00:20:50,240 Speaker 1: for Ran to surrender and warning civilians to evacuate to Ran. 401 00:20:51,080 --> 00:20:53,680 Speaker 1: We also know that it's clear what the President wants 402 00:20:53,760 --> 00:20:58,280 Speaker 1: to do. It is targeting Iran's nuclear sites. Let's be clear, 403 00:20:58,480 --> 00:21:01,440 Speaker 1: this is not about a war or an invasion or 404 00:21:01,600 --> 00:21:05,320 Speaker 1: boots on the ground. Trump is not ruling out strikes 405 00:21:05,359 --> 00:21:08,800 Speaker 1: and Iran's nuclear facilities, but he's also made it clear 406 00:21:09,160 --> 00:21:12,680 Speaker 1: he's not wanting to invade anything at all. He has 407 00:21:12,720 --> 00:21:15,600 Speaker 1: even made it clear to the Supreme Leader, calling him 408 00:21:15,680 --> 00:21:19,080 Speaker 1: quote an easy target, those saying killing him is not 409 00:21:19,160 --> 00:21:21,840 Speaker 1: on the table for now. Why did he say that, 410 00:21:22,320 --> 00:21:25,479 Speaker 1: warning the Supreme Leader that you better not harm a 411 00:21:25,600 --> 00:21:29,560 Speaker 1: single American troop in the Middle East? Now, it's very 412 00:21:29,640 --> 00:21:33,520 Speaker 1: clear that Iran could in fact go after American soldiers, 413 00:21:33,840 --> 00:21:36,119 Speaker 1: and the President wanted to get ahead of that, saying 414 00:21:36,359 --> 00:21:39,080 Speaker 1: if you want to die, because I know where you are, 415 00:21:39,720 --> 00:21:42,399 Speaker 1: I can take you out at any moment, So you 416 00:21:42,600 --> 00:21:48,040 Speaker 1: better not retaliate and go after any American bases or 417 00:21:48,119 --> 00:21:52,280 Speaker 1: servicemen and women. Targeting Iran's nuclear sites is what this 418 00:21:52,480 --> 00:21:53,880 Speaker 1: is really all about. 419 00:21:54,080 --> 00:21:55,200 Speaker 2: And now we know that the. 420 00:21:55,119 --> 00:21:57,919 Speaker 1: President is mobilizing military assets as well. 421 00:21:58,400 --> 00:21:59,520 Speaker 2: The US is now. 422 00:21:59,440 --> 00:22:04,600 Speaker 1: Positioned bombers, refueling tankers, and aircraft carriers the Carl Vincent 423 00:22:04,680 --> 00:22:08,200 Speaker 1: and the nimits to the region as a show of force. 424 00:22:08,840 --> 00:22:11,399 Speaker 1: We also know the Vice President is playing a major 425 00:22:11,480 --> 00:22:14,639 Speaker 1: role in the diplomacy. Jeddy Vance is also playing the 426 00:22:14,720 --> 00:22:19,679 Speaker 1: role of reassuring skeptics Vans, countering those within the base 427 00:22:19,720 --> 00:22:22,120 Speaker 1: who are saying that Donald Trump should just be an 428 00:22:22,160 --> 00:22:25,600 Speaker 1: isolationist and should not get involved at all, making it 429 00:22:25,640 --> 00:22:29,720 Speaker 1: clear that Trump has an obligation to defend America and 430 00:22:29,800 --> 00:22:32,720 Speaker 1: make sure that Iran doesn't get a nuclear weapon to 431 00:22:32,880 --> 00:22:37,520 Speaker 1: attack American citizens as well as our ally Israel. Now 432 00:22:37,680 --> 00:22:40,640 Speaker 1: stressing restraint is also part of what the White House 433 00:22:40,760 --> 00:22:44,960 Speaker 1: is talking about. They are signaling, yes, potential military action, 434 00:22:45,440 --> 00:22:48,640 Speaker 1: but it would be extremely limited to the nuclear sites. 435 00:22:49,080 --> 00:22:52,560 Speaker 1: Both Vance and other administration officials are stressing that the 436 00:22:52,640 --> 00:22:56,360 Speaker 1: immediate full scale action of even going after these new 437 00:22:56,480 --> 00:22:58,960 Speaker 1: nuclear sites has not been confirmed. 438 00:22:59,480 --> 00:23:02,200 Speaker 2: And you got put this in a broader context. 439 00:23:02,840 --> 00:23:06,560 Speaker 1: There is clear support for the president at home for 440 00:23:06,720 --> 00:23:09,840 Speaker 1: him to go after Randse nuclear sites, but there's also 441 00:23:10,040 --> 00:23:13,400 Speaker 1: clear polling to show that Americans do not want boots 442 00:23:13,400 --> 00:23:17,320 Speaker 1: on the ground. They do not want to invade Iran either, 443 00:23:17,800 --> 00:23:21,080 Speaker 1: and that is what Donald Trump has been very clear about. 444 00:23:21,240 --> 00:23:22,880 Speaker 1: He has no intention of doing that. 445 00:23:23,520 --> 00:23:23,720 Speaker 2: Now. 446 00:23:23,760 --> 00:23:26,320 Speaker 1: The other question is when will the decision be made. 447 00:23:26,640 --> 00:23:31,080 Speaker 1: The State Department spokesman saying this about the President earlier. 448 00:23:30,760 --> 00:23:33,560 Speaker 8: EXCEP to the president, he is the singular guiding hand 449 00:23:33,960 --> 00:23:37,840 Speaker 8: about what will be occurring from this point forward, as 450 00:23:37,840 --> 00:23:41,879 Speaker 8: he has been, and I think that that dynamic is 451 00:23:41,920 --> 00:23:44,639 Speaker 8: pretty clear. He says he wants an end, as he 452 00:23:44,680 --> 00:23:48,560 Speaker 8: has said about every conflict that he has as a 453 00:23:48,560 --> 00:23:53,640 Speaker 8: peacemaker worked to stop peacefully through diplomacy. That has been 454 00:23:53,680 --> 00:23:57,520 Speaker 8: his commitment. And he wants these things, as he said 455 00:23:57,760 --> 00:24:00,800 Speaker 8: about in a number of situations for a month or 456 00:24:00,840 --> 00:24:06,119 Speaker 8: six months, but durable ends to this nature of forever wars, 457 00:24:06,600 --> 00:24:09,600 Speaker 8: and that has been his posture, and that's his posture. 458 00:24:09,280 --> 00:24:12,480 Speaker 1: Now it's very clear. The President does not want this 459 00:24:12,560 --> 00:24:15,640 Speaker 1: to continue on. That's why he gave that sixty day 460 00:24:15,680 --> 00:24:17,800 Speaker 1: window to get a deal done with Iran. And once 461 00:24:17,920 --> 00:24:21,679 Speaker 1: sixty days was up, the President then said, okay, and 462 00:24:21,720 --> 00:24:23,679 Speaker 1: now we're going to have to let Israel do what 463 00:24:23,800 --> 00:24:26,920 Speaker 1: Israel needs to do to protect and defend itself. Now, 464 00:24:26,960 --> 00:24:30,719 Speaker 1: President Trump also has major allies in Congress who are 465 00:24:30,760 --> 00:24:34,400 Speaker 1: coming out clearly stating that they believe the President has 466 00:24:34,440 --> 00:24:38,400 Speaker 1: the right and an obligation to protect America and take 467 00:24:38,440 --> 00:24:42,359 Speaker 1: out a Rand's nuclear program. Senator Cruz, talking with Sean 468 00:24:42,400 --> 00:24:44,280 Speaker 1: Hannity earlier, said this. 469 00:24:44,680 --> 00:24:45,439 Speaker 2: Here with reaction. 470 00:24:45,600 --> 00:24:49,560 Speaker 9: Texas Senator Ted Kruz, Senator, it is amazing. I watched 471 00:24:50,440 --> 00:24:53,440 Speaker 9: the president. You should have listened. I gave you time. 472 00:24:53,960 --> 00:24:57,159 Speaker 9: I watched the President warn the people of Tehran and 473 00:24:57,240 --> 00:24:58,000 Speaker 9: we'll show more. 474 00:24:57,920 --> 00:24:59,720 Speaker 2: Video of it to get out. 475 00:25:00,400 --> 00:25:04,399 Speaker 9: And there's like millions of people listening to Donald Trump. 476 00:25:04,720 --> 00:25:07,399 Speaker 9: They're not getting that message from the leadership of Iran. 477 00:25:07,480 --> 00:25:10,040 Speaker 9: They're getting it from the President of the United States 478 00:25:10,040 --> 00:25:11,840 Speaker 9: showing that he cares about human life. 479 00:25:12,040 --> 00:25:15,360 Speaker 5: Well, listen, President Trump, throughout this conflict has been fantastic. 480 00:25:15,400 --> 00:25:18,680 Speaker 5: I spoke to the President on Sunday and just told him, 481 00:25:18,680 --> 00:25:21,280 Speaker 5: I said, your leadership has been so critical on this, 482 00:25:21,640 --> 00:25:24,280 Speaker 5: and he made clear Iran is not getting a nuclear 483 00:25:24,320 --> 00:25:27,440 Speaker 5: weapon and he is standing with Israel. I believe our 484 00:25:27,720 --> 00:25:31,480 Speaker 5: position should be we stand unequivocally with the state of Israel, 485 00:25:31,800 --> 00:25:35,119 Speaker 5: and I'll make a point, Israel is doing an enormous 486 00:25:35,160 --> 00:25:37,639 Speaker 5: favor to the United States right now. I believe the 487 00:25:37,680 --> 00:25:41,479 Speaker 5: most acute near term security threat facing America is the 488 00:25:41,520 --> 00:25:44,840 Speaker 5: threat of a nuclear Iran because the Iyatola is a 489 00:25:44,880 --> 00:25:49,360 Speaker 5: religious nutcase. He is a theocratic mass murderer, and when 490 00:25:49,400 --> 00:25:52,119 Speaker 5: he chants death to America and death to Israel, he 491 00:25:52,160 --> 00:25:55,000 Speaker 5: does so in front of mobs of people. He also 492 00:25:55,080 --> 00:25:58,720 Speaker 5: refers to Israel as the Little Satan and America as 493 00:25:58,760 --> 00:26:01,600 Speaker 5: the Great Satan. There is a reason the Ayatola is 494 00:26:01,640 --> 00:26:06,800 Speaker 5: developing ICBMs. ICBMs are intercontinental ballistic missiles. You don't need 495 00:26:06,840 --> 00:26:11,679 Speaker 5: an ICBM to bomb Israel. They're bombing Israel with ballistic missiles. 496 00:26:11,920 --> 00:26:15,920 Speaker 5: You need an ICBM to get to America. If Iran 497 00:26:16,119 --> 00:26:19,280 Speaker 5: gets a nuclear weapon, I think the odds are unacceptably 498 00:26:19,359 --> 00:26:22,440 Speaker 5: high that we would find out with a mushroom cloud 499 00:26:22,760 --> 00:26:25,359 Speaker 5: over New York City or Los Angeles or Tel Aviv 500 00:26:25,359 --> 00:26:28,720 Speaker 5: and Israel, and what Israel has said is we. 501 00:26:28,680 --> 00:26:29,320 Speaker 2: Are going to act. 502 00:26:29,359 --> 00:26:31,639 Speaker 5: Israel is a tiny country, it's the size of the 503 00:26:31,640 --> 00:26:34,240 Speaker 5: state of New Jersey, and they are taking out Iran's 504 00:26:34,280 --> 00:26:38,679 Speaker 5: military with surgical precision. They're taking out virtually all of 505 00:26:38,720 --> 00:26:40,719 Speaker 5: the senior leaders of the military. They're taking out their 506 00:26:40,800 --> 00:26:44,480 Speaker 5: nuclear scientists, they are leveling nuclear facilities on the ground. 507 00:26:44,760 --> 00:26:47,720 Speaker 5: And I think President Trump is exactly right to say 508 00:26:47,760 --> 00:26:50,200 Speaker 5: we stand with Israel. And I'm with a seventy five 509 00:26:50,240 --> 00:26:53,800 Speaker 5: percent of Americans that agree with the President's strong stance 510 00:26:53,880 --> 00:26:57,160 Speaker 5: to keep America safe. That's the commander in chief's number 511 00:26:57,160 --> 00:26:59,960 Speaker 5: one job, to protect American lives and keep them marta 512 00:27:00,040 --> 00:27:00,719 Speaker 5: Erica safe. 513 00:27:00,840 --> 00:27:02,439 Speaker 2: That's what Donald Trump is doing today. 514 00:27:03,280 --> 00:27:05,640 Speaker 1: By the way, this brings me to another big story, 515 00:27:05,800 --> 00:27:08,119 Speaker 1: and it's a story that they're trying to play up 516 00:27:08,119 --> 00:27:11,520 Speaker 1: on TV, the story that there's some massive divide between 517 00:27:11,960 --> 00:27:15,199 Speaker 1: the MAGA movement. There isn't actually that big of a 518 00:27:15,240 --> 00:27:17,960 Speaker 1: divide at all. The majority of people that I know 519 00:27:18,080 --> 00:27:21,640 Speaker 1: are supporting President Donald Trump and his actions, and they're 520 00:27:21,680 --> 00:27:24,240 Speaker 1: glad that we have a president that is standing up 521 00:27:24,280 --> 00:27:28,040 Speaker 1: and willing to protect and defend all of us. The Dems, 522 00:27:28,119 --> 00:27:32,400 Speaker 1: by the way, have also gone completely silent on this 523 00:27:32,640 --> 00:27:36,360 Speaker 1: Israel Iran conflict. It's a question that many of us, 524 00:27:36,480 --> 00:27:39,800 Speaker 1: and the media especially should be asking, what do you 525 00:27:39,960 --> 00:27:42,200 Speaker 1: think and why are you being so quiet? 526 00:27:42,640 --> 00:27:45,000 Speaker 2: Jesse Waters bringing that up on Fox. 527 00:27:45,400 --> 00:27:48,159 Speaker 10: Trump's consumed in one of the most consequential moments of 528 00:27:48,200 --> 00:27:53,320 Speaker 10: his presidency. Nukes, oil casualties, mid East strategy, the six 529 00:27:53,400 --> 00:27:56,359 Speaker 10: are high, and the Republican Party is having an open debate. 530 00:27:56,520 --> 00:27:57,840 Speaker 2: But the Democrat parties know. 531 00:27:57,760 --> 00:27:58,520 Speaker 10: Where to be found. 532 00:27:58,680 --> 00:27:59,600 Speaker 2: They've gone silent. 533 00:28:00,200 --> 00:28:04,159 Speaker 10: An historical moment where the leading foreign policy voices of 534 00:28:04,200 --> 00:28:07,680 Speaker 10: the Democrat Party, the strategist, the Hawks, the doves, anybody, 535 00:28:07,720 --> 00:28:10,600 Speaker 10: does anybody have an opinion? Democrats don't know what to 536 00:28:10,680 --> 00:28:12,879 Speaker 10: say because they have to be told what to say, 537 00:28:13,280 --> 00:28:15,440 Speaker 10: and no one's telling them. We haven't heard a word 538 00:28:15,440 --> 00:28:18,920 Speaker 10: from Hillary, Obama, Biden, Kammelin, not even Susan Rice or 539 00:28:18,960 --> 00:28:19,800 Speaker 10: Blink and carry. 540 00:28:20,240 --> 00:28:21,560 Speaker 2: Where are all these people? 541 00:28:21,920 --> 00:28:25,040 Speaker 10: While Trump tries to manage wars overseas, Democrats are trying 542 00:28:25,040 --> 00:28:26,280 Speaker 10: to kick off a civil. 543 00:28:26,000 --> 00:28:26,800 Speaker 2: War here at home. 544 00:28:27,200 --> 00:28:30,639 Speaker 1: Jesse's absolutely right, where are the people on the left, 545 00:28:30,960 --> 00:28:33,680 Speaker 1: Which brings me to my final point. There's a very 546 00:28:33,680 --> 00:28:36,359 Speaker 1: good chance and by the time you even hear this show, 547 00:28:36,840 --> 00:28:39,800 Speaker 1: we may find out that Donald Trump has ordered our 548 00:28:39,920 --> 00:28:44,160 Speaker 1: US military to attack the nuclear sites in Iran and 549 00:28:44,200 --> 00:28:45,040 Speaker 1: why did he do it? 550 00:28:45,240 --> 00:28:46,720 Speaker 2: To protect all of us? 551 00:28:47,160 --> 00:28:52,280 Speaker 1: And that is something that every American should be proud of. Unfortunately, 552 00:28:52,320 --> 00:28:54,640 Speaker 1: there are going to be many detractors who are going 553 00:28:54,720 --> 00:28:57,160 Speaker 1: to say that Donald Trump is getting us into World 554 00:28:57,160 --> 00:29:01,200 Speaker 1: War three, when the reality is he's probably preventing it. 555 00:29:01,960 --> 00:29:04,840 Speaker 1: Make sure you share this podcast with your family and friends, 556 00:29:04,840 --> 00:29:07,719 Speaker 1: put it up on social media wherever you are, and 557 00:29:07,800 --> 00:29:09,520 Speaker 1: we appreciate you listening every day. 558 00:29:09,560 --> 00:29:11,000 Speaker 2: We'll see you back here tomorrow.
