Speaker 1: A short time ago, the US military carried out massive
Speaker 1: precision strikes on the three key nuclear facilities in the
Speaker 1: Iranian regime for Doau, Natanz and Esfahan. Tonight, I can
Speaker 1: report to the world that the strikes were a spectacular
Speaker 1: military success.
Speaker 2: You're listening to the forty seven Morning Update with Ben ferguson.
Speaker 3: Good Monday morning.
Speaker 4: It's nice to have you with us on the forty
Speaker 4: seven Morning Updated. We've got a lot to talk about,
Speaker 4: including the successful attack on Iran's nuclear sites because the
Speaker 4: President of the United States America said Iran we will
Speaker 4: never allow to get a nuclear weapon. We also are
Speaker 4: going to talk about the fallout and what it means
Speaker 4: moving forward after this attack, as Democrats are now going
Speaker 4: after Donald Trump, and finally, what could Iran do next
Speaker 4: and how big is a concern for sleeper cells in
Speaker 4: this country that were let in with our open borders
Speaker 4: under the Biden regime. I want to also make sure
Speaker 4: you guys remember hit that subscribe auto download button and
Speaker 4: share this podcast on your social media wherever you're listening
Speaker 4: right now. We've also had so many of you that
Speaker 4: have asked the question, how can I help people in
Speaker 4: Israel and we've been telling you about the International Fellowship
Speaker 4: of Christians and Jews and the work they are doing
Speaker 4: is incredible. They are deploying bomb shelters as we speak
Speaker 4: to help keep people safe in Israel. When things get bad,
Speaker 4: that is when they step up and protect families and
Speaker 4: loved ones. And if you want to get involved and
Speaker 4: stand with the people in Israel right now, you can
Speaker 4: do it by giving food and shelter to Jewish families
Speaker 4: that are under threat. As I said, they're building bomb
Speaker 4: shelters for children. They're helping survivors of the attacks that
Speaker 4: we're witnessing right now, and they are doing it daily.
Speaker 4: Your gift of only forty five dollars will help support
Speaker 4: life saving work by providing food, shelter, and so much more.
Speaker 4: I was speaking with the CEO of IFCJ and she
Speaker 4: was talking about just how hard it is for so
Speaker 4: many families in Israel right now and what they're doing
Speaker 4: on the ground and the bomb shelters that are needed,
Speaker 4: and she said, very simply, if you can help stand
Speaker 4: with the people in Israel that are under attack, they
Speaker 4: are doing everything they can to support them and to
Speaker 4: give the bomb shelters that are needed. So step up
Speaker 4: and help right now if you can at all eight
Speaker 4: eight eight four eight eight IFCJ that's eight eight eight
Speaker 4: four eight eight four three two five. You can also
Speaker 4: give online at IFCJ dot org. Every dollar helps, don't wait.
Speaker 4: Be the difference IFCJ dot org or eight eight eight
Speaker 4: four eight eight IFCJ. It's the forty seven morning Update
Speaker 4: and it starts right now.
Speaker 3: Story number one. Sixty days.
Speaker 4: That was the deadline that Donald Trump gave a RAND
Speaker 4: to come to the table and make a deal to
Speaker 4: get rid of their RAND nuclear program. They chose not to.
Speaker 4: And it's a foreign policy that's pretty clear. Fa FO.
Speaker 4: Donald Trump not wasting any time doing what he needed
Speaker 4: to do to make sure that Iran never gets a
Speaker 4: nuclear weapon, certainly not while he's in office. And the
Speaker 4: present made it clear with the attack on not one,
Speaker 4: not two, but three of the Iranian nuclear sites, they
Speaker 4: should have come to the table much sooner. Here's the
Speaker 4: present in his own words at the White House.
Speaker 1: A short time ago, the US military carried out massive
Speaker 1: precision strikes on the three key nuclear facilities in the
Speaker 1: Iranian regime for Doeaux Natans and Esfahan. Everybody heard those
Speaker 1: names for years as they built this horribly destructive enterprise.
Speaker 1: Our objective was the destruction of Iran's nuclear inrichment capacity
Speaker 1: and a stop to the nuclear threat posed by the
Speaker 1: world's number one state sponsor of terror.
Speaker 3: Tonight, I can report to the world.
Speaker 1: That the strikes were a spectacular military success. Iranski nuclear
Speaker 1: and Richmond facilities have been completely and totally obliterated. Rand
Speaker 1: the bully of the Middle East, must now make peace.
Speaker 1: If they do not, future attacks would be.
Speaker 3: Far greater and a lot easier.
Speaker 1: For forty years, Iran has been saying death to America,
Speaker 1: death to Israel. They have been killing our people, blowing
Speaker 1: off their arms, blowing off their legs with roadside bombs,
Speaker 1: that was their specialty.
Speaker 3: We lost over a.
Speaker 1: Thousand people, and hundreds of thousands throughout the Middle East
Speaker 1: and around the world have died as a direct result
Speaker 1: of their hate. In particular, so many were killed by
Speaker 1: their general Cassem SOLMANI. I decided a long time ago
Speaker 1: that I would not let this happen.
Speaker 3: It will not continue.
Speaker 1: I want to thank and congratulate Prime Minister bb NETTNYA,
Speaker 1: who we worked as a team like perhaps no team
Speaker 1: has ever worked before, and we've gone a long way
Speaker 1: to erasing this horrible threat to Israel. I want to
Speaker 1: thank the Israeli military for the wonderful job they've done.
Speaker 1: And most importantly, I want to congratulate the great American
Speaker 1: patriots who flew those magnificent machines tonight and all of
Speaker 1: the United States military on an operation the likes of
Speaker 1: which the world has not seen in many, many decades.
Speaker 1: Hopefully we will no longer need their services and this capacity.
Speaker 3: I hope that's so.
Speaker 1: I also want to congratulate the Chairman of the Joint
Speaker 1: Chiefs of Staff, General Dan Raisin Kine, spectacular general, and
Speaker 1: all of the brilliant military minds involved in this attack.
Speaker 1: With all of that being said, this cannot continue. There
Speaker 1: will be either peace or there will be tragedy for Iran,
Speaker 1: far greater than we have witnessed over the last eight days. Remember,
Speaker 1: there are men any targets left. The night's was the
Speaker 1: most difficult of them all by far, and perhaps the
Speaker 1: most lethal. But if peace does not come quickly, we
Speaker 1: will go after those other targets with precision, speed and skill.
Speaker 1: Most of them can be taken out in a matter
Speaker 1: of minutes. There's no military in the world that could
Speaker 1: have done what we did tonight, not even close. There
Speaker 1: has never been a military that could do what took place.
Speaker 3: Just a little while ago.
Speaker 1: Tomorrow, General Kin, Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth will have
Speaker 1: a press conference at eight am at the Pentagon, and
Speaker 1: I want to just thank everybody, and in particular God.
Speaker 3: I want to just say, we love you God, and we.
Speaker 1: Love our great military. Protect them. God bless the Middle East,
Speaker 1: God bless Israel, and God bless America.
Speaker 3: Thank you very much, Thank you.
Speaker 4: There is also a sincere gratitude you could hear from
Speaker 4: the President, So thankful for our men and women in
Speaker 4: uniform who are willing to risk their lives to protect
Speaker 4: all of us, and a sincere thanks to God for
Speaker 4: protecting them in this incredible mission. There was also another
Speaker 4: aspect of what just happened that's truly incredible, not a
Speaker 4: single leak. You have a president in this administration that
Speaker 4: has a very different staff around him, a very different cabinet,
Speaker 4: and what we witnessed was a team working together to
Speaker 4: make sure that all the American soldiers were kept safe,
Speaker 4: that there were no leaks that came out about an
Speaker 4: incredible mission. One that was incredibly complicated, as you heard
Speaker 4: from the President, that involved countless people, and one that
Speaker 4: was successful to the point where not a single shot
Speaker 4: was fired at us. Jennifer Griffin at Fox News Channel
Speaker 4: put it this way.
Speaker 5: Well, Brett, I think, yes, my phone has been literally
Speaker 5: ringing off the hook. But what I would say is
Speaker 5: that it's notable, well, how much deception was involved in
Speaker 5: this operation. All eyes were looking west towards Guam and
Speaker 5: the B twos that took off late last night towards Guam.
Speaker 5: It's possible that, but if the distance there would suggest
Speaker 5: that the B twos may have also flown east from
Speaker 5: Whiteman Air Force Base in Missouri. Remember the air refuelers,
Speaker 5: many of them were placed in Europe and in the
Speaker 5: across the Middle East, and that is what is known
Speaker 5: as an air refueling bridge, and all of those BE
Speaker 5: twos would require much air refueling in order to make it.
Speaker 5: They usually fly round trip from white men. And so
Speaker 5: what we can say, and the President said this in
Speaker 5: his truth Social post, is that a full payload of bombs,
Speaker 5: those massive ordnance penetrators, the thirty thousand pounds bunker buster
Speaker 5: bombs were dropped at four Dough, and as we have reported,
Speaker 5: there are two entrances to four Dough, so at least
Speaker 5: two bombs at each two entrants, which suggest at least
Speaker 5: two BE twos were involved over four Dough. My suspicion
Speaker 5: is that there were more. And then you have the
Speaker 5: two other sites, Natans, which is also has an underground
Speaker 5: enrichment facility. The Israelis had not been able to reach
Speaker 5: or take out that facility despite the last ten days
Speaker 5: of bombing, and so now US warplanes likely another B
Speaker 5: two bomber had dropped that mop, the thirty thousand pound
Speaker 5: bunker buster on Natans. And then you also have Isfahan,
Speaker 5: a third site south of Tehran, and that is also
Speaker 5: a very significant enrichment facility. So those B two bombers.
Speaker 5: It's possible that as everybody was looking west for the
Speaker 5: B twos flying towards Guam, that in fact there was
Speaker 5: another package of squadron of B twos that were flying
Speaker 5: east from white Men. It's about a fifteen hour trip
Speaker 5: from white Men in Missouri to the Middle East to Iran,
Speaker 5: and those bombers often fly round trip and takes them
Speaker 5: about thirty hours to get home. But they are out
Speaker 5: of danger tonight. They are not in Iranian airspace anymore,
Speaker 5: according to the President. The other thing I can point
Speaker 5: out this is an operation. In the last eighteen years
Speaker 5: since I've been at the Pentagon, I've never seen such
Speaker 5: operational security. There was nobody speaking about this, any of
Speaker 5: the preparations. There was a complete lockdown, almost a blackout
Speaker 5: of information for the last few days. I'm sitting here
Speaker 5: in the Pentagon right now, I can tell you the
Speaker 5: hallways are empty and all of the information is coming
Speaker 5: right now out of the White House. That is a
Speaker 5: significant achievement because there were no leaks about the timing. Now,
Speaker 5: sometimes I think those who a lot of the flight trackers,
Speaker 5: the open source intelligence flight trackers, that flight radar did
Speaker 5: indicate some of the when the B twos took off
Speaker 5: from white Men. But again, nobody really expected that it
Speaker 5: would take place this evening. If you looked at the
Speaker 5: moon schedule, you might have had a clue because it
Speaker 5: was a waning crescent and almost a new moon on
Speaker 5: the twenty fifth, so it would have been very very
Speaker 5: dark over Iran tonight, and you need that in order
Speaker 5: to to bomb. That's the ideal condition for something like
Speaker 5: a B two that is, yes, itself stealth, but it
Speaker 5: still has to be escorted in in case any Iran
Speaker 5: were to put up any planes or there were any
Speaker 5: opportunities to fire on those B twos, which are such
Speaker 5: valuable and very very special planes. Only the US military
Speaker 5: has this kind of weaponry and this capability. No other
Speaker 5: country in the world could have carried off. What occurred
Speaker 5: tonight at those three uranium enrichment sites.
Speaker 4: Truly incredible work by our men and women in uniform
Speaker 4: and is you could hear there from the Pentagon. The
Speaker 4: fact that no one knew that this was happening and
Speaker 4: no one leaked it truly tells you about how great
Speaker 4: this administration is that Donald Trump has around him this time.
Speaker 4: It brings me to the final point. There is a
Speaker 4: lot of concern about what Iran is going to do
Speaker 4: next with retaliation. Obviously they are going after Israel as
Speaker 4: we speak, but what could happen at home and how
Speaker 4: vigilant should we stay. Well, the answer is we should
Speaker 4: stay vigilant, We should be careful because there is one
Speaker 4: major problem. We had a massive open border for far
Speaker 4: too long under Joe Biden, and what we have found
Speaker 4: out is that there was an incredible number of Iranian
Speaker 4: nationals that were deliberately released into the interior of this country,
Speaker 4: thousands of them. On top of the fact that we
Speaker 4: also had another problem those that got away that we
Speaker 4: did not catch that we're clearly coming in from Iran.
Speaker 4: So is there a real chance that sleeper sales from
Speaker 4: Iran could be activated in this country? The answer, unfortunately
Speaker 4: is yes. And who is to blame for that none
Speaker 4: other than Joe Biden and the Biden administration who deliberately
Speaker 4: opened our borders and allowed the flood of millions of
Speaker 4: illegal immigrants into this country. Tom Homan talking on Fox
Speaker 4: News about how concerned he is about this after the
Speaker 4: US strikes Iran, Take a listen.
Speaker 6: So I put numbers this morning just from a CBP
Speaker 6: under Joe Biden, there was one two hundred and seventy
Speaker 6: two nationals Iran releasing the country between Ofo and and
Speaker 6: the Bordatroll. And you compare that to the Trump administration
Speaker 6: zero right, zero releases and right now, because of President
Speaker 6: Trump's leadership, we have the most secure border in my lifetime,
Speaker 6: most secure border in history of this nation.
Speaker 3: So we have a secure border.
Speaker 6: So that was a President Trump's big win on security
Speaker 6: of this nation. So we're not releasing people in this country,
Speaker 6: especially in Aliens aren't across that border undetected. But under
Speaker 6: Joe Biden, we had over ten million people cross that border.
Speaker 6: But my biggest concern from day one, beyond the fat
Speaker 6: and all beyond the sex trafficking women and children, were
Speaker 6: the two man known god aways. Over two million people
Speaker 6: cross that border. We don't know who they are, where
Speaker 6: they came from, because they got away because Bordatrol was
Speaker 6: so overwhelmed with the humanitarian crisis that Biden created that
Speaker 6: over two million people across the border and got away.
Speaker 6: That is my biggest concern, and that's what created the
Speaker 6: biggest national security vulnerability this country's ever seen.
Speaker 4: It's an important reminder of how thankful we should all
Speaker 4: be that Donald Trump is the president United States of America.
Speaker 4: Did he secure the southern border and protect us from
Speaker 4: possible sleeper cells that are trying to get into this country,
Speaker 4: but he's also protecting us abroad by making sure that
Speaker 4: a rand doesn't have a nuclear weapon. Yes, we can
Speaker 4: celebrate the fact that that has happened. We also have
Speaker 4: to be careful and cautious and vigilant and pray for
Speaker 4: our men and women in uniform all at the same time.
