Several more injured. 31 00:01:29,000 --> 00:01:31,640 Speaker 4: That is the story so far this morning, David and Gina, 32 00:01:31,680 --> 00:01:32,480 Speaker 4: Good morning. 33 00:01:32,319 --> 00:01:35,520 Speaker 2: Good morning morning, Terrence. I think this is where prayer 34 00:01:35,600 --> 00:01:39,520 Speaker 2: kicks in heavy for our troops and for our country. 35 00:01:39,800 --> 00:01:41,559 Speaker 2: This is no kidding around time, David. 36 00:01:42,600 --> 00:01:45,279 Speaker 1: Yeah, Look, this is the seventh country the President Trump 37 00:01:45,319 --> 00:01:49,000 Speaker 1: has sent military strikes in since he started in his 38 00:01:49,080 --> 00:01:50,840 Speaker 1: second term. That is going to shock a lot of 39 00:01:50,920 --> 00:01:53,760 Speaker 1: in Magat. We're about to get ready here. What's interesting 40 00:01:53,800 --> 00:01:55,600 Speaker 1: to me, I'm just got to put on my glasses 41 00:01:55,600 --> 00:01:57,960 Speaker 1: that anybody know that's they're getting ready. It's the old notes. 42 00:01:58,040 --> 00:02:00,000 Speaker 1: You just put the remarks that forms out, which means 43 00:02:00,040 --> 00:02:03,600 Speaker 1: it's coming. Look, this is the seventeenth largest country in 44 00:02:03,640 --> 00:02:06,040 Speaker 1: the world, ninety three million people. It's the size of 45 00:02:06,120 --> 00:02:12,239 Speaker 1: Texas and Alaska combined. This is not your kind of 46 00:02:12,320 --> 00:02:15,079 Speaker 1: run of a mill small country as we know. And 47 00:02:15,120 --> 00:02:17,840 Speaker 1: that's why today at the Pentagon, I want to find 48 00:02:17,840 --> 00:02:22,560 Speaker 1: out exactly what's the strategy not just within Tehran but 49 00:02:22,680 --> 00:02:26,160 Speaker 1: the entire country, and how you go about attacking such 50 00:02:26,200 --> 00:02:29,320 Speaker 1: a large country. And once again, it does not attack 51 00:02:29,400 --> 00:02:33,160 Speaker 1: on the people of Iran, but that the besiege, which 52 00:02:33,160 --> 00:02:36,239 Speaker 1: of course has is the civilian patrols all around Iraq. 53 00:02:36,639 --> 00:02:39,080 Speaker 1: They pretty much control the streets. Got to get rid 54 00:02:39,080 --> 00:02:41,960 Speaker 1: of them. And the IRGC obviously crucial. There's about one 55 00:02:42,000 --> 00:02:44,680 Speaker 1: hundred and twenty five thousand, two hundred thousand or so 56 00:02:45,240 --> 00:02:47,639 Speaker 1: IRGC troops all around the country. 57 00:02:47,720 --> 00:02:52,520 Speaker 2: Terrence on the ground, we have actually Neil McCabe at 58 00:02:52,560 --> 00:02:55,280 Speaker 2: the White House there. We'd like to bring him in 59 00:02:55,680 --> 00:03:00,280 Speaker 2: for a moment. Good morning, Neil, Hi, how are you good? 60 00:03:00,840 --> 00:03:02,320 Speaker 2: What can you tell us? What are you hearing on 61 00:03:02,360 --> 00:03:03,760 Speaker 2: the ground there at the White House. 62 00:03:05,360 --> 00:03:07,880 Speaker 6: I think everyone's sort of standing by for what's going 63 00:03:07,880 --> 00:03:20,360 Speaker 6: on at the Pentagon at. 64 00:03:16,760 --> 00:03:17,200 Speaker 3: And so. 65 00:03:18,680 --> 00:03:22,800 Speaker 6: I think what people are really curious about is those 66 00:03:22,880 --> 00:03:29,480 Speaker 6: three jets that were shot But people have to ask 67 00:03:29,760 --> 00:03:33,640 Speaker 6: how did this happen with friendly fire taking out three jets? 68 00:03:33,919 --> 00:03:34,840 Speaker 7: Not the Iranians? 69 00:03:36,360 --> 00:03:38,760 Speaker 4: Right, And I think to your point, there are going 70 00:03:38,800 --> 00:03:41,760 Speaker 4: to be questions asked about Kuwait, particularly since those jets 71 00:03:41,800 --> 00:03:46,040 Speaker 4: were shot down by the Kuwait ease And all right, 72 00:03:46,120 --> 00:03:48,720 Speaker 4: I'm sorry Neil We've got Pete Haig Seth coming out 73 00:03:48,720 --> 00:03:51,320 Speaker 4: here as well as General Kine. They are taking the podium, 74 00:03:51,360 --> 00:03:52,200 Speaker 4: so let's listen in. 75 00:03:55,520 --> 00:03:57,840 Speaker 7: Well, good morning now. We just finished an update with 76 00:03:57,880 --> 00:04:00,880 Speaker 7: Admiral Brad Cooper, the sent Com Commander across the Sentcom 77 00:04:00,920 --> 00:04:04,680 Speaker 7: aoar our leadership and troops as you would expect, doing 78 00:04:04,720 --> 00:04:09,160 Speaker 7: a fantastic job. Two days ago, under the direction and 79 00:04:09,200 --> 00:04:11,800 Speaker 7: direct orders of President Donald J. Trump, the Department of 80 00:04:11,800 --> 00:04:16,720 Speaker 7: War launched Operation Epic Fury, the most lethal, most complex, 81 00:04:17,240 --> 00:04:22,200 Speaker 7: and most precise aerial operation in history. For forty seven 82 00:04:22,480 --> 00:04:26,440 Speaker 7: long years, the expansionist and Islamist regime in Tehran has 83 00:04:26,520 --> 00:04:30,159 Speaker 7: waged a savage, one sided war against America. They didn't 84 00:04:30,240 --> 00:04:33,760 Speaker 7: always declare it openly, except for their constant chance of 85 00:04:33,800 --> 00:04:36,800 Speaker 7: death to America. They did it through the blood of 86 00:04:36,839 --> 00:04:41,919 Speaker 7: our people. Car bombs in Beirut, rocket attacks on our ships, 87 00:04:42,400 --> 00:04:47,080 Speaker 7: murders at our embassy's, roadside bombs in Iraq and Afghanistan, 88 00:04:47,720 --> 00:04:52,240 Speaker 7: funded and armed by Iranian the Koud's Force and IRGC killers. 89 00:04:53,560 --> 00:04:57,520 Speaker 7: My generation of veterans carried the names of brothers who 90 00:04:57,560 --> 00:05:01,960 Speaker 7: never came home, brothers butchered by Iranian backed roadside bombs 91 00:05:02,480 --> 00:05:07,760 Speaker 7: and well armed militias, thousands of our own. We didn't 92 00:05:07,800 --> 00:05:11,960 Speaker 7: start this war, but under President Trump, we are finishing it. 93 00:05:13,080 --> 00:05:17,240 Speaker 7: Their war on Americans has become our retribution against their 94 00:05:17,520 --> 00:05:22,800 Speaker 7: Ayatola and his death cult. It took the forty seventh president, 95 00:05:22,839 --> 00:05:26,640 Speaker 7: a fighter who always puts America first, to finally draw 96 00:05:26,680 --> 00:05:31,320 Speaker 7: the line after forty seven years of Iranian belligerents. He 97 00:05:31,440 --> 00:05:33,839 Speaker 7: reminded the world, as he has time and time again, 98 00:05:34,279 --> 00:05:38,880 Speaker 7: being an American means something unbreakable. If you kill Americans, 99 00:05:39,440 --> 00:05:42,560 Speaker 7: if you threaten Americans anywhere on Earth, we will hunt 100 00:05:42,600 --> 00:05:47,600 Speaker 7: you down without apology and without hesitation, and we will 101 00:05:47,880 --> 00:05:53,440 Speaker 7: kill you. President Trump has also been very consistent. Crazy 102 00:05:53,480 --> 00:05:58,920 Speaker 7: regimes like Iran, hell bent on prophetic Islamist delusions, cannot 103 00:05:58,960 --> 00:06:03,919 Speaker 7: have nuclear weapons. It's common sense, many have said it, 104 00:06:04,920 --> 00:06:07,240 Speaker 7: but it takes guts to actually enforce it, and our 105 00:06:07,320 --> 00:06:13,440 Speaker 7: president has guts. Iran's stubborn and self evident nuclear pursuits, 106 00:06:13,480 --> 00:06:17,040 Speaker 7: their targeting of global shipping lanes, and their swelling arsenal 107 00:06:17,120 --> 00:06:20,840 Speaker 7: of ballistic missiles and killer drones were no longer are 108 00:06:20,880 --> 00:06:26,279 Speaker 7: no longer tolerable risks. Iran was building powerful missiles and 109 00:06:26,360 --> 00:06:31,039 Speaker 7: drones to create a conventional shield for their nuclear black 110 00:06:31,080 --> 00:06:34,960 Speaker 7: mail ambitions. Let me say that again, a conventional shield 111 00:06:35,440 --> 00:06:40,520 Speaker 7: for their nuclear black mail ambitions. Our bases, our people, 112 00:06:40,600 --> 00:06:44,840 Speaker 7: our allies, all in their crosshairs. Iran had a conventional 113 00:06:44,880 --> 00:06:47,520 Speaker 7: gun to our head as they tried to lie their 114 00:06:47,520 --> 00:06:52,480 Speaker 7: way to a nuclear bomb. It almost worked under Obama 115 00:06:52,880 --> 00:06:57,800 Speaker 7: and his terrible deal, but not under this president. Turns out, 116 00:06:57,839 --> 00:07:01,480 Speaker 7: the regime who chanted death to a America and death 117 00:07:01,520 --> 00:07:07,960 Speaker 7: to Israel was gifted death from America and death from Israel. 118 00:07:08,960 --> 00:07:12,720 Speaker 7: This is not a so called regime change war, but 119 00:07:12,800 --> 00:07:17,760 Speaker 7: the regime sure did change and the world is better 120 00:07:17,800 --> 00:07:21,960 Speaker 7: off for it. Today. In their desperation, the enemy is 121 00:07:22,240 --> 00:07:27,840 Speaker 7: unmasked as Iranian missiles and drones rained down indiscriminately on 122 00:07:27,920 --> 00:07:33,760 Speaker 7: the hotels, airports, apartments, and other civilian targets of their neighbors. 123 00:07:34,000 --> 00:07:39,400 Speaker 7: Cowardly terrorist tactics from a regime that for decades has 124 00:07:39,480 --> 00:07:45,240 Speaker 7: trafficked in cowardly terrorist tactics, lies, death and destruction. To 125 00:07:45,320 --> 00:07:51,240 Speaker 7: this day, the Iranian leadership has built nothing except proxies 126 00:07:51,280 --> 00:07:55,640 Speaker 7: and missiles and drones and deeply buried nuclear factories and facilities. 127 00:07:56,440 --> 00:08:01,520 Speaker 7: Peaceful nuclear ambitions do not need to be buried underneath mountains. 128 00:08:03,280 --> 00:08:10,200 Speaker 7: Last June, Operation Midnight Hammer obliterated their nuclear program to rubble. Afterward, 129 00:08:10,240 --> 00:08:12,400 Speaker 7: we told them plainly, that's it. Now make a deal. 130 00:08:13,280 --> 00:08:17,360 Speaker 7: They arrogantly refused. We said, rebuild it, and we'll stop 131 00:08:17,400 --> 00:08:21,400 Speaker 7: you again, this time far worse. Well, President Trump, Secretary 132 00:08:21,400 --> 00:08:25,800 Speaker 7: of Rubio, Steve Whitcoff, Jared Kushner. They bent over backwards 133 00:08:25,840 --> 00:08:29,480 Speaker 7: for real diplomacy, offering pathway after pathway to peace. I 134 00:08:29,600 --> 00:08:30,120 Speaker 7: watched it. 135 00:08:30,200 --> 00:08:30,760 Speaker 3: I was there. 136 00:08:31,520 --> 00:08:35,679 Speaker 7: They tried, over and over and over again, earnest attempts 137 00:08:35,760 --> 00:08:40,000 Speaker 7: at peace. The former regime had every chance to make 138 00:08:40,160 --> 00:08:45,040 Speaker 7: a peaceful and sensible deal, but Taran was not negotiating. 139 00:08:45,760 --> 00:08:49,839 Speaker 7: They were stalling, buying time to reload their missile stockpiles 140 00:08:49,880 --> 00:08:54,559 Speaker 7: and restart their nuclear ambitions. Their goal hold US hostage, 141 00:08:55,000 --> 00:09:00,480 Speaker 7: threatening to strike our forces. Well, President Trump doesn't play 142 00:09:00,480 --> 00:09:04,600 Speaker 7: those games. And as Secretary Rubio said after the Maduro raid, 143 00:09:05,240 --> 00:09:09,440 Speaker 7: if you don't know, now you know, President Trump puts 144 00:09:09,480 --> 00:09:14,320 Speaker 7: America and Americans first. He doesn't hesitate, and neither do 145 00:09:14,520 --> 00:09:19,160 Speaker 7: our troops. The mission of Operation Epic Fury is leiser focused. 146 00:09:19,960 --> 00:09:24,440 Speaker 7: Destroy Iranian offensive missiles, destroy Iranian missile production, destroy their 147 00:09:24,520 --> 00:09:28,160 Speaker 7: Navy and other security infrastructure, and they will never have 148 00:09:28,480 --> 00:09:37,480 Speaker 7: nuclear weapons. We're hitting them surgically, overwhelmingly, and unapologetically. With 149 00:09:37,559 --> 00:09:41,840 Speaker 7: every passing day, our capabilities get stronger and Iran's get weaker. 150 00:09:42,760 --> 00:09:47,080 Speaker 7: We set the terms of this war from start to finish. 151 00:09:47,559 --> 00:09:52,720 Speaker 7: Our ambitions are not utopian. They are realistic, scoped to 152 00:09:52,920 --> 00:09:56,600 Speaker 7: our interests and the defense of our people and our allies. 153 00:09:57,960 --> 00:10:02,120 Speaker 7: Speaking of people, we hope the Iranian people take advantage 154 00:10:02,200 --> 00:10:06,520 Speaker 7: of this incredible opportunity. President Trump has been clear, now 155 00:10:06,679 --> 00:10:15,720 Speaker 7: is your time to Iranian security forces, choose wisely. President 156 00:10:15,720 --> 00:10:20,679 Speaker 7: Trump has also been clear about your fate in either direction. 157 00:10:22,840 --> 00:10:27,200 Speaker 7: To the media outlets and political left screaming endless wars, stop, 158 00:10:28,160 --> 00:10:31,840 Speaker 7: this is not a RAQ, This is not endless. I 159 00:10:31,920 --> 00:10:35,559 Speaker 7: was there for both. Our generation knows better, and so 160 00:10:35,679 --> 00:10:39,240 Speaker 7: does this President. He called the last twenty years of 161 00:10:39,320 --> 00:10:45,480 Speaker 7: nation building wars dumb, and he's right. This is the opposite. 162 00:10:45,920 --> 00:10:51,080 Speaker 7: This operation is a clear, devastating, decisive mission. Destroy the 163 00:10:51,080 --> 00:10:56,000 Speaker 7: missile threat, destroy the navy, no nukes. Israel has clear 164 00:10:56,040 --> 00:11:01,160 Speaker 7: missions as well, for which we are grateful. Capable partners. 165 00:11:01,480 --> 00:11:05,440 Speaker 7: As we've said since the beginning, capable partners are good partners. 166 00:11:06,600 --> 00:11:10,000 Speaker 7: Unlike so many of our traditional allies who wring their 167 00:11:10,000 --> 00:11:13,800 Speaker 7: hands and clutch their pearls, hemming and hawing about the 168 00:11:13,880 --> 00:11:18,839 Speaker 7: use of force. America, regardless of what so called international 169 00:11:18,840 --> 00:11:22,720 Speaker 7: institutions say, is unleashing the most lethal and precise air 170 00:11:22,800 --> 00:11:27,640 Speaker 7: power campaign in history. B two's fighters, drones, missiles, and 171 00:11:27,720 --> 00:11:35,520 Speaker 7: of course classified effects, all on our terms, with maximum authorities. 172 00:11:35,640 --> 00:11:38,880 Speaker 7: No stupid rules of engagement, no nation building quagmire, no 173 00:11:39,160 --> 00:11:44,800 Speaker 7: democracy building exercise, no politically correct wars. We fight to win, 174 00:11:45,040 --> 00:11:49,880 Speaker 7: and we don't waste time or lives. As the President warned, 175 00:11:49,920 --> 00:11:55,480 Speaker 7: an effort of this scope will include casualties, war as 176 00:11:55,480 --> 00:12:00,480 Speaker 7: hell and always will be. A grateful nation honors the 177 00:12:00,520 --> 00:12:03,640 Speaker 7: four Americans we have lost thus far and those injured 178 00:12:04,720 --> 00:12:11,040 Speaker 7: the absolute best of America. May we prosecute the remainder 179 00:12:11,120 --> 00:12:16,000 Speaker 7: of this operation in a manner that honors them.

Before 182 00:12:29,360 --> 00:12:31,880 Speaker 7: I turn it over to General Kane for the operational update, 183 00:12:31,960 --> 00:12:36,199 Speaker 7: let me speak straight to you. The Joint Force are 184 00:12:36,280 --> 00:12:41,160 Speaker 7: warriors on the front lines. This is your moment This 185 00:12:41,200 --> 00:12:43,840 Speaker 7: is the generational turning point America has waited for since 186 00:12:43,880 --> 00:12:46,840 Speaker 7: nineteen seventy nine, and since the rudderless Wars of Hubris. 187 00:12:47,440 --> 00:12:51,480 Speaker 7: My generation, our generation endured. Don't listen to the noise. 188 00:12:52,440 --> 00:12:56,000 Speaker 7: Just stay focused. Our commander in chief is steady at 189 00:12:56,080 --> 00:13:00,440 Speaker 7: the wheel. We face a determined enemy. But you are better. 190 00:13:01,640 --> 00:13:04,000 Speaker 7: But we must prove it every single day. History doesn't 191 00:13:04,000 --> 00:13:06,840 Speaker 7: care if we're tired, if we're scared, or if the 192 00:13:06,880 --> 00:13:12,320 Speaker 7: fight feels big. It demands warriors who rise anyway. Peace 193 00:13:12,360 --> 00:13:17,440 Speaker 7: through strength, the warrior ethos, lethality, unity of purpose. Those 194 00:13:17,520 --> 00:13:22,080 Speaker 7: are not slogans. They're the beating heart of what it 195 00:13:22,120 --> 00:13:26,400 Speaker 7: means to wear the uniform. That uniform you think clearly 196 00:13:26,520 --> 00:13:30,680 Speaker 7: under fire, you act decisively in chaos. You uphold the Constitution, 197 00:13:31,640 --> 00:13:35,440 Speaker 7: and you uphold our country without hesitation. We are not 198 00:13:35,559 --> 00:13:40,959 Speaker 7: defenders anymore. We are warriors, train to kill the enemy 199 00:13:40,960 --> 00:13:44,320 Speaker 7: and break their will.

I 251 00:17:21,680 --> 00:17:26,440 Speaker 8: also want to specifically call out United States Transportation Command 252 00:17:26,560 --> 00:17:31,000 Speaker 8: and US Stratcom for their contributions to this fight. We 253 00:17:31,119 --> 00:17:35,240 Speaker 8: cannot project American combat power at the time and place 254 00:17:35,240 --> 00:17:38,560 Speaker 8: of our choosing without both. And finally, I want to 255 00:17:38,720 --> 00:17:42,560 Speaker 8: express how deeply thankful I am for the continued service 256 00:17:42,600 --> 00:17:46,520 Speaker 8: and sacrifice of the entire Joint Force and their families. 257 00:17:46,960 --> 00:17:52,359 Speaker 8: Their unwavering commitment and dedication are the cornerstones of this effort. 258 00:17:52,840 --> 00:17:56,800 Speaker 8: So let me start with a few details first. To 259 00:17:56,840 --> 00:17:59,560 Speaker 8: be clear, as the Secretary said, this is not a 260 00:17:59,600 --> 00:18:04,439 Speaker 8: single overnight operation. The military objectives at Sencom and the 261 00:18:04,560 --> 00:18:07,160 Speaker 8: Joint Force have been tasked withs will take some time 262 00:18:07,200 --> 00:18:11,080 Speaker 8: to achieve and in some cases will be difficult and 263 00:18:11,200 --> 00:18:16,200 Speaker 8: gritty work. We expect to take additional losses, and as always, 264 00:18:16,680 --> 00:18:20,240 Speaker 8: we will work to minimize US losses. But as the 265 00:18:20,280 --> 00:18:24,800 Speaker 8: Secretary said, this is major combat operations, so let me 266 00:18:24,840 --> 00:18:29,159 Speaker 8: talk about the preparation and the planning. On February twenty eighth, 267 00:18:29,240 --> 00:18:32,600 Speaker 8: the full strength of America's armed forces came together in 268 00:18:32,680 --> 00:18:37,040 Speaker 8: a unified purpose against a capable and determined adversary. The 269 00:18:37,160 --> 00:18:42,959 Speaker 8: United States Army, Navy, Marine Corps, Air Force, Space Force, Coastguard, 270 00:18:43,280 --> 00:18:47,480 Speaker 8: and our reserve components integrated our cross our combatant commands 271 00:18:47,880 --> 00:18:52,359 Speaker 8: and began coordinated operations with the Israeli armed forces of 272 00:18:52,400 --> 00:18:56,879 Speaker 8: an unprecedented scale. As the Secretary laid out, our military 273 00:18:56,920 --> 00:19:00,000 Speaker 8: objectives are clear. Our mission is to protect and defect 274 00:19:00,080 --> 00:19:04,680 Speaker 8: and ourselves and together with our regional partners, prevent Ran 275 00:19:04,880 --> 00:19:09,000 Speaker 8: from the ability to project power outside of its borders, 276 00:19:09,400 --> 00:19:13,560 Speaker 8: and be ready for follow on actions as appropriate. Across 277 00:19:13,600 --> 00:19:17,639 Speaker 8: every domain, land, air, sea, cyber, the US Joint Force 278 00:19:17,720 --> 00:19:23,679 Speaker 8: delivered synchronized and layered effects designed to disrupt, degrade, deny, 279 00:19:23,880 --> 00:19:29,080 Speaker 8: and destroy Iran's ability to conduct and sustain combat operations. 280 00:19:29,760 --> 00:19:34,000 Speaker 8: On the US side, this marked the culmination of months 281 00:19:34,040 --> 00:19:38,280 Speaker 8: and in some cases years of deliberate planning and refinement 282 00:19:38,400 --> 00:19:43,040 Speaker 8: against this particular target set, from precision strikes against key 283 00:19:43,080 --> 00:19:48,919 Speaker 8: military infrastructure, to persistent intelligence and targeting integration, to the 284 00:19:49,000 --> 00:19:54,600 Speaker 8: close coordination of the components across vast distances. This operation 285 00:19:54,920 --> 00:20:00,359 Speaker 8: again demonstrated America's reach, readiness, and professionalism and out of 286 00:20:00,359 --> 00:20:04,320 Speaker 8: our joint United Force. It was historic not only in 287 00:20:04,359 --> 00:20:08,080 Speaker 8: the operational scope, but in the level of joint integration 288 00:20:08,680 --> 00:20:13,080 Speaker 8: displayed across every element of the Joint Force. And as 289 00:20:13,119 --> 00:20:16,960 Speaker 8: I said earlier, this work is just beginning and will continue. 290 00:20:17,320 --> 00:20:19,640 Speaker 8: So now to talk a little bit about setting the 291 00:20:19,680 --> 00:20:23,000 Speaker 8: force and setting the theater. On the order of the 292 00:20:23,040 --> 00:20:26,359 Speaker 8: Secretary of War, over the last thirty days, to reinforce 293 00:20:26,440 --> 00:20:31,120 Speaker 8: deterrents and provide the President with credible options should action 294 00:20:31,280 --> 00:20:36,200 Speaker 8: be required, the Joint Force began to systematically reposition assets 295 00:20:36,240 --> 00:20:41,399 Speaker 8: in personnel across the region. These movements ensured that US 296 00:20:41,400 --> 00:20:47,639 Speaker 8: forces remained postured, protected, and ready to respond decisively for 297 00:20:47,760 --> 00:20:52,639 Speaker 8: any emerging threat. This deployment included thousands of service members 298 00:20:52,680 --> 00:20:57,400 Speaker 8: from all branches, hundreds of advanced fourth and fifth generation fighters, 299 00:20:57,440 --> 00:21:01,840 Speaker 8: dozens of refueling tankers, the Link and Ford Carrier Strike 300 00:21:01,880 --> 00:21:06,160 Speaker 8: Group and their embarked air wings, sustained flow of munitions, 301 00:21:06,200 --> 00:21:10,960 Speaker 8: fuel supplies, all supported with command and control, intelligence, surveillance, 302 00:21:11,000 --> 00:21:15,480 Speaker 8: and reconnaissance network, and the flow of forces continues today. 303 00:21:15,960 --> 00:21:19,760 Speaker 8: In fact, Admiral Cooper will receive additional forces even today. 304 00:21:20,480 --> 00:21:24,880 Speaker 8: This rapid build up of forces demonstrated the joint forces 305 00:21:24,920 --> 00:21:28,199 Speaker 8: ability to adapt and project power at the time and 306 00:21:28,280 --> 00:21:31,159 Speaker 8: place of our nation's choosing. I want to highlight a 307 00:21:31,160 --> 00:21:35,000 Speaker 8: couple specific cases for you. The Gerald R. Ford Carrier 308 00:21:35,040 --> 00:21:37,600 Speaker 8: Strike Group, which many of you know was down in 309 00:21:37,600 --> 00:21:42,560 Speaker 8: the Western Hemisphere, redeployed across the Atlantic to set the theater. 310 00:21:43,160 --> 00:21:46,520 Speaker 8: The ship, her crew, their families, and the entire Strike 311 00:21:46,600 --> 00:21:49,960 Speaker 8: Group took a deep breath, and as they always do, 312 00:21:50,440 --> 00:21:55,960 Speaker 8: began planning to conduct combat operations. The integrated Reserve and 313 00:21:56,080 --> 00:22:00,520 Speaker 8: National Guard forces have continued to demonstrate the value of 314 00:22:00,560 --> 00:22:05,040 Speaker 8: America's reserve forces, including the WISCAR Wisconsin Army National Guard 315 00:22:05,119 --> 00:22:08,600 Speaker 8: operating in Kuwait and Irock, and Air National Guard units 316 00:22:08,840 --> 00:22:12,480 Speaker 8: from a variety of states to include Vermont and Virginia. 317 00:22:13,280 --> 00:22:15,919 Speaker 8: In the case of the Vermont Air National Guard and 318 00:22:15,960 --> 00:22:18,880 Speaker 8: the one to fifty eighth Fighter Wing, they were mobilized 319 00:22:18,880 --> 00:22:22,560 Speaker 8: for Operation Absolute Resolve and then were tasked to take 320 00:22:22,600 --> 00:22:26,199 Speaker 8: their F thirty five a's across the Atlantic instead of 321 00:22:26,240 --> 00:22:30,040 Speaker 8: going home to be prepared to support this operation. The 322 00:22:30,080 --> 00:22:32,400 Speaker 8: same is with our Air National Guard and Air Force 323 00:22:32,440 --> 00:22:36,160 Speaker 8: Reserve Command, tanker and mobility forces who stepped right out 324 00:22:36,160 --> 00:22:41,760 Speaker 8: of their civilian jobs to deploy and to protect the region. Lastly, 325 00:22:42,440 --> 00:22:46,040 Speaker 8: I want to highlight the unsung heroes of warfare are 326 00:22:46,200 --> 00:22:51,639 Speaker 8: American logisticians and sustainment force, those who quietly work every 327 00:22:51,760 --> 00:22:57,280 Speaker 8: day behind the scenes to project and sustain America's combat power. 328 00:22:57,840 --> 00:23:00,440 Speaker 8: Our leaders from World War II were right when they 329 00:23:00,440 --> 00:23:05,200 Speaker 8: said professionals do logistics. As regional tensions rose, the Joint 330 00:23:05,200 --> 00:23:08,440 Speaker 8: Force elevated our force protection measures on the order of 331 00:23:08,480 --> 00:23:14,040 Speaker 8: the Secretary and repositioned discreetly civilians and non essential personnel 332 00:23:14,359 --> 00:23:17,880 Speaker 8: designed to ensure the safety and security of our Joint Force. 333 00:23:18,560 --> 00:23:22,520 Speaker 8: By the time operations began, only essential forces remained on 334 00:23:22,560 --> 00:23:26,760 Speaker 8: our bases and in theater, all ready capable to respond. 335 00:23:28,000 --> 00:23:31,880 Speaker 8: So now let me move to h hour. At fifteen 336 00:23:32,040 --> 00:23:37,240 Speaker 8: thirty eight three thirty eight pm on Friday, February twenty seventh, 337 00:23:37,800 --> 00:23:40,960 Speaker 8: the United States Central Command, through the Secretary of War 338 00:23:41,520 --> 00:23:45,320 Speaker 8: received the final goal order from President Trump. The President 339 00:23:45,400 --> 00:23:49,200 Speaker 8: directed and I quote Operation Epic Fury is approved Noah 340 00:23:49,240 --> 00:23:53,760 Speaker 8: Bort's good luck close quote. In the region, every element 341 00:23:53,800 --> 00:23:57,440 Speaker 8: of the Joint force made their final preparations. Air defense 342 00:23:57,520 --> 00:24:02,359 Speaker 8: batteries ready themselves, checking their systems to respond to Iranian attacks. 343 00:24:02,960 --> 00:24:06,400 Speaker 8: Pilots and crews rehearse their strike packages for the final time. 344 00:24:06,920 --> 00:24:10,879 Speaker 8: Aircrews began loading their final weapons, and two carrier strike 345 00:24:10,920 --> 00:24:15,000 Speaker 8: groups began to move towards their launching points across the globe. 346 00:24:15,000 --> 00:24:18,640 Speaker 8: Our operation centers came alive in Tampa, Florida, here at 347 00:24:18,640 --> 00:24:21,600 Speaker 8: the Pentagon, and of course forward in the Central Command 348 00:24:21,640 --> 00:24:28,159 Speaker 8: a R. As always, operational security was paramount as we 349 00:24:28,240 --> 00:24:32,760 Speaker 8: sought to maintain and sustain the element of surprise. This 350 00:24:32,840 --> 00:24:36,480 Speaker 8: operation was highly classified, so that at each hour the 351 00:24:36,640 --> 00:24:40,720 Speaker 8: enemy would see one thing speed, surprise and violence of action. 352 00:24:41,680 --> 00:24:45,320 Speaker 8: The first movers were US Cybercom and US space Com, 353 00:24:45,720 --> 00:24:50,520 Speaker 8: layering non kinetic effects, disrupting and degrading and blinding Iran's 354 00:24:50,520 --> 00:24:55,600 Speaker 8: ability to see, communicate, and respond. At ch hour, the 355 00:24:55,680 --> 00:25:02,200 Speaker 8: beginning of major combat operations zero one fifteen local Eastern 356 00:25:02,280 --> 00:25:06,200 Speaker 8: daylight time nine to forty five local am Tehran time. 357 00:25:06,320 --> 00:25:09,639 Speaker 8: As dawn crept up across the Central Command a R, 358 00:25:10,200 --> 00:25:13,480 Speaker 8: the sky surged to life. More than one hundred aircraft 359 00:25:13,560 --> 00:25:18,360 Speaker 8: launch from land, sea fighters, tankers, airborne early warning, electronic 360 00:25:18,440 --> 00:25:23,080 Speaker 8: attack bombers from the States, and unmanned platforms, forming a 361 00:25:23,119 --> 00:25:28,239 Speaker 8: single synchronized wave. This was a daylight strike based on 362 00:25:28,280 --> 00:25:32,960 Speaker 8: a trigger event conducted by the Israeli defense forces, enabled 363 00:25:32,960 --> 00:25:36,920 Speaker 8: by the US intelligence community. The first shooters at sea 364 00:25:37,000 --> 00:25:41,000 Speaker 8: were Tomahawks unleashed by the United States Navy closed in 365 00:25:41,040 --> 00:25:45,199 Speaker 8: on Iranian naval forces and began to conduct strikes across 366 00:25:45,240 --> 00:25:49,320 Speaker 8: the southern flank in Iran. On the ground forces fired 367 00:25:49,359 --> 00:25:55,920 Speaker 8: precision standoff weapons measured deliberate, precise, and lethal. This was 368 00:25:55,960 --> 00:26:00,119 Speaker 8: a massive, overwhelming attack across all domains of warfare, a 369 00:26:00,440 --> 00:26:03,080 Speaker 8: striking more than one thousand targets in the first twenty 370 00:26:03,080 --> 00:26:08,160 Speaker 8: four hours. We are now roughly fifty seven hours into 371 00:26:08,200 --> 00:26:12,960 Speaker 8: the operation. In the initial phase, Sentcom's focus was systematic 372 00:26:13,000 --> 00:26:18,879 Speaker 8: targeting of Iranians, command and control infrastructure, naval forces, ballistic 373 00:26:18,960 --> 00:26:25,000 Speaker 8: missile sites, and intelligence infrastructure designed to daze and confuse them. 374 00:26:25,560 --> 00:26:32,000 Speaker 8: Coordinated space and cyber operations effectively disrupted communications and sensor 375 00:26:32,080 --> 00:26:37,000 Speaker 8: networks across the area of responsibility, leaving the adversary without 376 00:26:37,200 --> 00:26:42,240 Speaker 8: the ability to see, coordinate, or respond effectively. The combined 377 00:26:42,280 --> 00:26:46,680 Speaker 8: impact of these strikes, swift, precise, and overwhelming, has resulted 378 00:26:46,720 --> 00:26:51,480 Speaker 8: in the establishment of local air superiority. This air superiority 379 00:26:51,520 --> 00:26:54,760 Speaker 8: will not only enhance the protection of our forces, but 380 00:26:54,840 --> 00:26:57,119 Speaker 8: also allow them to continue. 381 00:26:56,640 --> 00:26:58,040 Speaker 3: The work over Iran. 382 00:26:59,119 --> 00:27:01,320 Speaker 8: Over the course of the last two days, the Joint 383 00:27:01,359 --> 00:27:05,000 Speaker 8: Force has launched hundreds of missions from land and sea 384 00:27:05,440 --> 00:27:08,639 Speaker 8: and delivered tens of thousands of pieces of ordinance. The 385 00:27:08,720 --> 00:27:14,160 Speaker 8: effort continues to scale. This included American B two bombers, which, 386 00:27:14,200 --> 00:27:17,680 Speaker 8: again similar to Midnight Hammer, flew a thirty seven hour 387 00:27:17,800 --> 00:27:22,280 Speaker 8: round trip SORTI from the continental United States, dropping precision 388 00:27:22,760 --> 00:27:28,400 Speaker 8: penetrating munitions on Iranian underground facilities across the southern flank 389 00:27:28,800 --> 00:27:34,199 Speaker 8: and slightly deeper. Additionally, Israel has separately executed hundreds of 390 00:27:34,240 --> 00:27:39,480 Speaker 8: sorties against hundreds of targets. Beyond air Force and Navy 391 00:27:39,720 --> 00:27:44,680 Speaker 8: aircraft strike packages, coordinated salvos of precision standoff weapons from 392 00:27:44,720 --> 00:27:48,720 Speaker 8: across the region have neutralized hundreds of pre planned targets. 393 00:27:49,400 --> 00:27:53,400 Speaker 8: As I mentioned earlier, in support of these kinetic operations, 394 00:27:53,480 --> 00:27:59,159 Speaker 8: US cybercomm and SPACECLM have continuously layered effects to disrupt, disorient, 395 00:27:59,560 --> 00:28:02,679 Speaker 8: and can use the enemy. I will note that this 396 00:28:02,840 --> 00:28:07,639 Speaker 8: operation had several combat firsts, which I'll allow at some 397 00:28:07,800 --> 00:28:10,680 Speaker 8: point in the future Admiral Cooper to talk about since 398 00:28:10,680 --> 00:28:17,639 Speaker 8: he owns the AAR. While we've prosecuted a relentless offensive campaign, 399 00:28:18,080 --> 00:28:23,120 Speaker 8: our defense has been equally important. Across the theater. Operations 400 00:28:23,119 --> 00:28:27,720 Speaker 8: have remained steady and disciplined. Once again, our integrated Air 401 00:28:27,760 --> 00:28:32,240 Speaker 8: and Missile Defense network is performing a exactly exactly as 402 00:28:32,280 --> 00:28:37,480 Speaker 8: it's intended. US Patriot and THAD batteries, along with ballistic 403 00:28:37,800 --> 00:28:43,680 Speaker 8: missile defense capable Navy destroyers, continue to coordinate and execute 404 00:28:43,720 --> 00:28:49,800 Speaker 8: intercepts with precision and consistency. I wish that every American 405 00:28:50,400 --> 00:28:54,880 Speaker 8: could hear the voice communications like I have, as these 406 00:28:55,000 --> 00:29:02,040 Speaker 8: joint operation centers remain calm, focused, and cool while executing 407 00:29:02,440 --> 00:29:08,080 Speaker 8: under fire over and over again. Collectively, these systems have 408 00:29:08,200 --> 00:29:13,920 Speaker 8: intercepted hundreds of ballistic missiles targeting US forces, our partners, 409 00:29:14,320 --> 00:29:19,040 Speaker 8: and regional stability. The threat from one way attack UAVs 410 00:29:19,120 --> 00:29:24,200 Speaker 8: has remained persistent. Our systems have proven effective encountering these platforms, 411 00:29:24,240 --> 00:29:31,360 Speaker 8: engaging targets rapidly. Each intercept represents hundreds of hours of training, readiness, 412 00:29:31,400 --> 00:29:35,840 Speaker 8: and technology all coming together to work as designed. We 413 00:29:36,040 --> 00:29:40,160 Speaker 8: remain vigilant in the counter UAV fight, and the defense 414 00:29:40,240 --> 00:29:44,200 Speaker 8: of the region is not ours alone. As the threat grew, 415 00:29:44,360 --> 00:29:49,480 Speaker 8: our partners surged in Beside US Air Defense batteries and Katar, 416 00:29:49,960 --> 00:29:53,400 Speaker 8: the UAE, Kuwait, Jordan, and Saudi Arabia joined the fight, 417 00:29:54,000 --> 00:29:57,920 Speaker 8: proof positive that years of training, trust and harder and 418 00:29:57,960 --> 00:30:03,160 Speaker 8: integration payoff. I am aware of the loss of three 419 00:30:03,680 --> 00:30:06,920 Speaker 8: US Air Force F fifteen and e's overnight in the region. 420 00:30:07,760 --> 00:30:10,600 Speaker 8: I am grateful for the safety of the crews, and 421 00:30:10,680 --> 00:30:14,200 Speaker 8: we know that this was not from hostile enemy fire. 422 00:30:14,960 --> 00:30:19,000 Speaker 8: As this matters under investigation, I'll not comment further on this. 423 00:30:20,200 --> 00:30:20,960 Speaker 3: Let me close. 424 00:30:21,720 --> 00:30:28,080 Speaker 8: Operations will remain active across the theater and across the globe. 425 00:30:28,200 --> 00:30:31,520 Speaker 8: The US forces are postured not only to maintain pressure, 426 00:30:32,000 --> 00:30:37,280 Speaker 8: but to respond and adapt as required. Operation Epic Fury 427 00:30:37,360 --> 00:30:40,560 Speaker 8: stands as a reminder of what the United States military 428 00:30:40,920 --> 00:30:45,640 Speaker 8: uniquely delivers. The ability to project power on a global 429 00:30:45,680 --> 00:30:52,880 Speaker 8: scale with speed, surprise, precision, and overwhelming force when and 430 00:30:52,920 --> 00:30:57,440 Speaker 8: where our nation requires it. What we've demonstrated over the 431 00:30:57,440 --> 00:31:02,240 Speaker 8: past several days reflects years of investment and readiness, joint integration, 432 00:31:02,760 --> 00:31:07,800 Speaker 8: and professionalism of the Joint Force. As major combat operations 433 00:31:07,880 --> 00:31:12,800 Speaker 8: continue across Sentcom, we remain engaged globally. America's Joint Force 434 00:31:12,880 --> 00:31:18,400 Speaker 8: retains the credibility, capacity, and flexibility to respond to any 435 00:31:18,480 --> 00:31:23,920 Speaker 8: contingency anywhere in the world, at any time. To those 436 00:31:24,120 --> 00:31:27,800 Speaker 8: who would test our resolve or threaten the United States, 437 00:31:28,400 --> 00:31:34,360 Speaker 8: our allies, or our interests, understand clearly, we can reach you. 438 00:31:35,040 --> 00:31:38,280 Speaker 8: We can sustain the fight, and we can scale the fight, 439 00:31:38,840 --> 00:31:43,440 Speaker 8: and we will prevail. To the American people, your Joint 440 00:31:43,520 --> 00:31:50,680 Speaker 8: Force remains steady, frosty, calm and focused. Your service members 441 00:31:50,680 --> 00:31:56,480 Speaker 8: are trained, disciplined, and determined. We understand the risks of 442 00:31:56,520 --> 00:32:01,160 Speaker 8: this mission and the weight of the responsibility that we carry. 443 00:32:01,880 --> 00:32:06,719 Speaker 8: We also recognize that our families also shoulder the burden 444 00:32:06,720 --> 00:32:10,560 Speaker 8: at home. You are a part of this too. I 445 00:32:10,600 --> 00:32:14,760 Speaker 8: am proud today, as I am every day, to stand 446 00:32:14,800 --> 00:32:17,959 Speaker 8: as a member of America's Joint Force. There is no 447 00:32:18,080 --> 00:32:22,880 Speaker 8: mission too complex, no distance too great, and no adversary 448 00:32:22,960 --> 00:32:26,280 Speaker 8: too determined. For the men and women who wear our 449 00:32:26,360 --> 00:32:31,800 Speaker 8: nation's uniform. We mourn are fallen, We honor their families, 450 00:32:32,160 --> 00:32:36,280 Speaker 8: and we continue our mission with focus, unity and strength. 451 00:32:36,640 --> 00:32:38,480 Speaker 8: And now I'm happy to take any questions. 452 00:32:38,840 --> 00:32:41,040 Speaker 7: Thank you, mister chairman, right here, go ahead. 453 00:32:41,920 --> 00:32:42,720 Speaker 9: Thank you for your time. 454 00:32:42,960 --> 00:32:47,200 Speaker 10: What percentage of Iranian long straight capabilities are still in 455 00:32:47,240 --> 00:32:50,280 Speaker 10: the fight, and what is our exit strategy here and 456 00:32:50,320 --> 00:32:51,400 Speaker 10: when will it be deploid? 457 00:32:52,720 --> 00:32:56,240 Speaker 7: Well, they have long range strike capabilities which we are 458 00:32:56,400 --> 00:32:59,160 Speaker 7: hyper focused on. Briefly got just this morning. Admiral Cooper 459 00:32:59,200 --> 00:33:03,160 Speaker 7: knows exactly in decisely what kind of threat matrix he's 460 00:33:03,200 --> 00:33:05,440 Speaker 7: looking at, the way they might change their techniques and 461 00:33:05,440 --> 00:33:08,400 Speaker 7: how we adapt to that. So we're making sure the 462 00:33:08,400 --> 00:33:11,080 Speaker 7: theater commander has absolutely everything he needs. I mean, one 463 00:33:11,120 --> 00:33:13,560 Speaker 7: of the things the Chairman mentioned is for months and months, 464 00:33:13,600 --> 00:33:15,880 Speaker 7: even before we built up, we ensure that we had 465 00:33:15,920 --> 00:33:19,560 Speaker 7: maximum defensive capabilities in theater to allow the President of 466 00:33:19,600 --> 00:33:22,040 Speaker 7: the decision space in the future. So even before this 467 00:33:22,120 --> 00:33:25,360 Speaker 7: build up, in the last thirty days, we discreetly brought 468 00:33:25,400 --> 00:33:30,560 Speaker 7: defensive assets in to make understanding that there are Iranian capabilities. 469 00:33:30,600 --> 00:33:33,040 Speaker 7: As far as timeframe, I would never hang a timeframe 470 00:33:33,080 --> 00:33:35,520 Speaker 7: from our perspective. The Commander in Chief sets the op 471 00:33:35,560 --> 00:33:37,680 Speaker 7: tempo and terms of this fight. As I said, it's 472 00:33:37,720 --> 00:33:40,720 Speaker 7: on his terms, and we'll make sure that Admiral Cooper 473 00:33:40,760 --> 00:33:43,320 Speaker 7: and his team have everything they need, not just to defend. 474 00:33:43,600 --> 00:33:45,800 Speaker 7: I mean, the best defense is a good offense, and 475 00:33:45,880 --> 00:33:49,560 Speaker 7: so we're aggressively pushing into that airspace over that southern 476 00:33:49,600 --> 00:33:52,520 Speaker 7: flank to ensure that we control it and we destroy 477 00:33:52,560 --> 00:33:55,000 Speaker 7: anything that moves that would attempt to shoot us. Think 478 00:33:55,040 --> 00:33:58,280 Speaker 7: of it as shooting the archer instead of the arrows. 479 00:33:58,920 --> 00:34:00,720 Speaker 7: That's where we want to be, and we have the 480 00:34:00,760 --> 00:34:03,520 Speaker 7: kind of exquisite intelligence to get over the top, find 481 00:34:03,560 --> 00:34:06,240 Speaker 7: that and destroy it. Won't happen overnight. This is a 482 00:34:06,240 --> 00:34:10,040 Speaker 7: big battle space with a lot of capabilities. That's part 483 00:34:10,040 --> 00:34:12,399 Speaker 7: of the reason why it's such a threat to us. 484 00:34:12,520 --> 00:34:13,239 Speaker 3: That's why I talk. 485 00:34:13,160 --> 00:34:18,880 Speaker 7: About conventional umbrella to blackmail nuclear ambitions. They were building 486 00:34:18,960 --> 00:34:22,440 Speaker 7: up this conventional arsenal in order to ensure that no 487 00:34:22,480 --> 00:34:25,000 Speaker 7: one would ever block them from their ability to get 488 00:34:25,080 --> 00:34:28,080 Speaker 7: nuclear weapons. So we're very clear eyed about the nature 489 00:34:28,080 --> 00:34:30,000 Speaker 7: of this Ironian threat, and we're going to get after it. 490 00:34:30,000 --> 00:34:31,200 Speaker 7: I don't know if you have anything to add to that, 491 00:34:31,239 --> 00:34:31,920 Speaker 7: Missie Treuth. 492 00:34:32,080 --> 00:34:32,880 Speaker 3: Thank you for the question. 493 00:34:32,880 --> 00:34:35,640 Speaker 8: The only thing I'll add is it unlike an operation, 494 00:34:35,760 --> 00:34:39,920 Speaker 8: a single operation like Midnight Hammer or Absolute Resolve. Well, 495 00:34:39,960 --> 00:34:42,520 Speaker 8: it'll take some time for us to conduct battle damage 496 00:34:42,560 --> 00:34:45,440 Speaker 8: assessment and the targeting cycle that Sencam will run will 497 00:34:45,480 --> 00:34:48,560 Speaker 8: take those things into effect. Admiral Cooper will adjust his 498 00:34:48,680 --> 00:34:51,480 Speaker 8: plan and fires accordingly to ensure that we're at treating that. 499 00:34:51,920 --> 00:34:55,320 Speaker 8: He's focused on long range strike capability coming out of 500 00:34:55,360 --> 00:34:59,040 Speaker 8: the enemy, and that's a key and essential part. 501 00:34:58,840 --> 00:35:02,759 Speaker 9: Of it that still exist from the enemy front. 502 00:35:02,840 --> 00:35:04,560 Speaker 8: Yeah, that's why I mean when I say we're still 503 00:35:04,600 --> 00:35:08,320 Speaker 8: doing BDA normally, you know, normally we'd be able to 504 00:35:08,320 --> 00:35:11,319 Speaker 8: see a singular thing and we'd assess pretty quickly. He's 505 00:35:11,360 --> 00:35:15,400 Speaker 8: doing offense and assessment simultaneously, so it'll take longer for 506 00:35:15,560 --> 00:35:18,400 Speaker 8: us to assess than it would in a single operation. 507 00:35:19,360 --> 00:35:22,160 Speaker 1: Secretary hikes, thank you, Brad and rees with the Daily Caller. 508 00:35:23,160 --> 00:35:24,080 Speaker 1: Two questions for you. 509 00:35:24,160 --> 00:35:26,759 Speaker 11: The President said yesterday in this video message that we 510 00:35:26,840 --> 00:35:30,080 Speaker 11: will leave or on when we complete all of our objectives. 511 00:35:30,560 --> 00:35:32,239 Speaker 12: What are our objectives? 512 00:35:32,320 --> 00:35:34,880 Speaker 11: And can you share more information on how the soldiers 513 00:35:34,920 --> 00:35:36,200 Speaker 11: who were killed were killed. 514 00:35:37,360 --> 00:35:39,720 Speaker 7: Well, I laid out the objectives, as did the chairman. 515 00:35:39,760 --> 00:35:42,600 Speaker 7: They're completely nested. I mean, Iran has an ability to 516 00:35:42,600 --> 00:35:44,960 Speaker 7: project power against us in our allies in the ways 517 00:35:45,000 --> 00:35:48,480 Speaker 7: that we can't we can't tolerate. So, whether that's ballistic 518 00:35:48,520 --> 00:35:53,200 Speaker 7: missiles and drones, so offensive capabilities effectively there their navy 519 00:35:53,239 --> 00:35:57,080 Speaker 7: which would attempt to set other terms and impose different costs, 520 00:35:57,880 --> 00:36:01,120 Speaker 7: drone capabilities which we which we out there. And ultimately, 521 00:36:01,320 --> 00:36:05,200 Speaker 7: though this tying it back to Midnight Hammer, the President 522 00:36:05,280 --> 00:36:08,000 Speaker 7: has been willing to make a deal. You can't have 523 00:36:08,080 --> 00:36:11,200 Speaker 7: a nuclear bomb. Radical Islamists can't have a nuclear bomb 524 00:36:11,200 --> 00:36:14,399 Speaker 7: that they wheeled against the world. He gave him every 525 00:36:14,400 --> 00:36:18,600 Speaker 7: single opportunity. Then we precisely took it away. And even 526 00:36:18,680 --> 00:36:21,440 Speaker 7: then after that they didn't have that. They didn't come 527 00:36:21,440 --> 00:36:23,240 Speaker 7: to the table with a willingness to give it away. 528 00:36:23,480 --> 00:36:28,000 Speaker 7: So ultimately that those nuclear ambitions, which never ceased, are 529 00:36:28,120 --> 00:36:30,000 Speaker 7: something that had to be addressed as well. So that's 530 00:36:30,280 --> 00:36:33,080 Speaker 7: a discreete sense of what's being addressed. You're to ensure 531 00:36:33,080 --> 00:36:37,120 Speaker 7: that they can't use that conventional umbrella to continue a 532 00:36:37,160 --> 00:36:41,640 Speaker 7: pursuit of nuclear ambitions. And then, as it pertains to 533 00:36:41,680 --> 00:36:46,279 Speaker 7: the US casualties, that particular incident was you know, you 534 00:36:46,280 --> 00:36:48,239 Speaker 7: have air defenses and the lots coming in and you 535 00:36:48,320 --> 00:36:49,880 Speaker 7: hit most of it, and we absolutely do. We have 536 00:36:49,880 --> 00:36:52,480 Speaker 7: incredible air defenders. Every once in a while you might 537 00:36:52,560 --> 00:36:55,600 Speaker 7: have one, unfortunately, we call it a squirter that makes 538 00:36:55,640 --> 00:36:59,360 Speaker 7: its way through, and in that particular case, it happened 539 00:36:59,360 --> 00:37:03,840 Speaker 7: to hit a tactical operations center that was that was fortified. 540 00:37:04,040 --> 00:37:09,640 Speaker 7: But these are powerful weapons. So we we certainly we'll 541 00:37:09,680 --> 00:37:12,200 Speaker 7: do as I said, moments like that as we remember 542 00:37:12,239 --> 00:37:13,920 Speaker 7: them and we take care of them and take care 543 00:37:13,960 --> 00:37:16,560 Speaker 7: of their families, only stiff in our resolve to ensure 544 00:37:16,560 --> 00:37:19,480 Speaker 7: that we. 545 00:37:18,080 --> 00:37:18,920 Speaker 3: We do this properly. 546 00:37:19,080 --> 00:37:22,520 Speaker 1: Thank you, Yeah, thank you, Secretary heck Sas. 547 00:37:22,560 --> 00:37:23,839 Speaker 3: I had two questions for you. 548 00:37:24,080 --> 00:37:27,560 Speaker 11: First, are there currently any American boots on the ground 549 00:37:27,640 --> 00:37:28,080 Speaker 11: in Iran? 550 00:37:30,640 --> 00:37:33,120 Speaker 7: No, But we're not going to go into the exercise 551 00:37:33,200 --> 00:37:35,080 Speaker 7: of what we will or will not do. I think 552 00:37:35,440 --> 00:37:38,000 Speaker 7: it's one of those fallacies for a long time that 553 00:37:38,560 --> 00:37:41,000 Speaker 7: this Department or presidents or others should tell the American 554 00:37:41,000 --> 00:37:43,480 Speaker 7: people and our enemies, by the way, here's exactly what 555 00:37:43,520 --> 00:37:46,760 Speaker 7: we'll do. Here's exactly how long we'll go, here's exactly 556 00:37:46,840 --> 00:37:49,160 Speaker 7: how far we'll go. Here's what we're willing to do 557 00:37:49,200 --> 00:37:52,840 Speaker 7: and not do. It's foolishness. And so President Trump ensures 558 00:37:52,880 --> 00:37:55,279 Speaker 7: that our enemies understand, will go as far as we 559 00:37:55,320 --> 00:37:58,640 Speaker 7: need to go to advanced American interest But we're not 560 00:37:58,719 --> 00:38:00,720 Speaker 7: dumb about it. You don't have to roll two hundred 561 00:38:00,719 --> 00:38:03,520 Speaker 7: thousand people in there and stay for twenty years. We've 562 00:38:03,560 --> 00:38:06,720 Speaker 7: proven that you can achieve objectives that advance American interests 563 00:38:06,719 --> 00:38:09,000 Speaker 7: without being foolish about it. Now, will we be bold 564 00:38:09,040 --> 00:38:11,680 Speaker 7: about it? Are we willing to be decisive about it? 565 00:38:12,080 --> 00:38:14,040 Speaker 7: Do we put months and months of planning into what 566 00:38:14,120 --> 00:38:15,520 Speaker 7: kind of effects we want to achieve? 567 00:38:15,800 --> 00:38:16,520 Speaker 3: Absolutely? 568 00:38:17,360 --> 00:38:22,400 Speaker 7: But going forward, why in the world would we tell you, you, 569 00:38:22,320 --> 00:38:24,840 Speaker 7: the enemy, anybody, what we will or will not do 570 00:38:24,920 --> 00:38:27,960 Speaker 7: in pursuit of an objective. We fight to win. We 571 00:38:28,080 --> 00:38:30,759 Speaker 7: fight to achieve the objectives the President of the United 572 00:38:30,800 --> 00:38:33,840 Speaker 7: States has laid out, and we will do so unapologetically. 573 00:38:33,920 --> 00:38:36,480 Speaker 13: Thank are any significance to Israel carrying out the strike 574 00:38:36,560 --> 00:38:39,399 Speaker 13: to kill the Ayatola And I wanted to know what 575 00:38:39,440 --> 00:38:42,120 Speaker 13: was your immediate reaction to finding out about his killing. 576 00:38:43,000 --> 00:38:45,720 Speaker 7: I think Israel did a great job in the conduct 577 00:38:46,120 --> 00:38:46,840 Speaker 7: of that operation. 578 00:38:48,040 --> 00:38:54,200 Speaker 1: Put a four week time please, yeah, thank you. 579 00:38:53,840 --> 00:38:57,120 Speaker 14: You mentioned during the briefing General Kine that there would 580 00:38:57,120 --> 00:39:00,000 Speaker 14: be additional troops said to the region, could you say 581 00:39:00,320 --> 00:39:03,920 Speaker 14: how many troops currently are involved in this operation and 582 00:39:03,960 --> 00:39:07,000 Speaker 14: how many additional troops are planned to go in in 583 00:39:07,480 --> 00:39:08,400 Speaker 14: this next phase. 584 00:39:09,760 --> 00:39:12,120 Speaker 8: I don't want to talk specifics because that would tip 585 00:39:12,160 --> 00:39:17,080 Speaker 8: the enemy off. We have more tactical aviation flowing into theater. 586 00:39:17,440 --> 00:39:19,080 Speaker 8: Just based on the time it took to get it 587 00:39:19,120 --> 00:39:22,160 Speaker 8: out there, I think we're just about where we want 588 00:39:22,160 --> 00:39:24,760 Speaker 8: to be in terms of total combat capacity and total 589 00:39:24,800 --> 00:39:28,040 Speaker 8: combat power for Amial Cooper. One of the things though, 590 00:39:28,040 --> 00:39:32,880 Speaker 8: that a commander, he'll consistently assess the trajectory of the 591 00:39:32,960 --> 00:39:36,640 Speaker 8: campaign is the on or off trajectory, and then make 592 00:39:36,680 --> 00:39:40,320 Speaker 8: an ask of the joint Force, which will then develop 593 00:39:40,440 --> 00:39:43,920 Speaker 8: options for consideration by the Secretary and the President to 594 00:39:44,000 --> 00:39:47,160 Speaker 8: either increase or in some cases decrease the amount of 595 00:39:47,200 --> 00:39:49,319 Speaker 8: combat capability that we have over there. 596 00:39:50,000 --> 00:39:53,240 Speaker 7: I heard the question about four weeks. It's the typical, 597 00:39:53,440 --> 00:39:57,200 Speaker 7: typical NBC of gotcha type question. President Trump has all 598 00:39:57,239 --> 00:39:59,640 Speaker 7: the latitude in the world to talk about how long. 599 00:39:59,680 --> 00:40:01,960 Speaker 7: It may may not take four weeks, two weeks, six weeks, 600 00:40:02,200 --> 00:40:04,600 Speaker 7: It could move up, it could move back. We're going 601 00:40:04,640 --> 00:40:07,359 Speaker 7: to execute at his command the objectives we've set out 602 00:40:07,400 --> 00:40:10,200 Speaker 7: to achieve and what he has shown ability to do 603 00:40:10,239 --> 00:40:13,240 Speaker 7: that other presidents can't quite seem to have the aperture 604 00:40:13,320 --> 00:40:15,560 Speaker 7: to do well. I mean, Joe Biden need to even know. 605 00:40:15,640 --> 00:40:18,560 Speaker 7: What he was doing is to look for opportunities and 606 00:40:18,600 --> 00:40:21,360 Speaker 7: off ramps and escalations for the United States. That creates 607 00:40:21,400 --> 00:40:25,280 Speaker 7: new opportunities to execute what we need on our own timeline, 608 00:40:25,320 --> 00:40:27,319 Speaker 7: so you can play games about four weeks, five weeks. 609 00:40:27,520 --> 00:40:29,239 Speaker 7: He has all the latitude, and I'm glad he does 610 00:40:29,280 --> 00:40:32,800 Speaker 7: because there's no better communicator than our president expressing those. 611 00:40:32,600 --> 00:40:33,959 Speaker 1: Things through mail. 612 00:40:34,120 --> 00:40:36,040 Speaker 7: I've been in meetings with the President for the last 613 00:40:36,239 --> 00:40:38,600 Speaker 7: two and a half days. We know exactly where his 614 00:40:39,040 --> 00:40:42,759 Speaker 7: headspace is, and he will communicate as he should, exactly 615 00:40:43,200 --> 00:40:45,080 Speaker 7: what he would like, and we will follow those orders. 616 00:40:45,120 --> 00:40:49,600 Speaker 7: And everything he said on that is right down the middle. Absolutely, yes, 617 00:40:49,680 --> 00:40:50,239 Speaker 7: right there, Yes. 618 00:40:50,160 --> 00:40:52,879 Speaker 13: Sir, thank you very much. 619 00:40:52,920 --> 00:40:53,560 Speaker 1: Secret Theory. 620 00:40:53,640 --> 00:40:58,200 Speaker 13: I left my hometown of Sukkers in Iranian Kurdistan in 621 00:40:58,320 --> 00:41:02,719 Speaker 13: nineteen ninety six. Can you promise that I will be 622 00:41:02,920 --> 00:41:07,000 Speaker 13: able to return home safely this year? And I have 623 00:41:07,040 --> 00:41:08,080 Speaker 13: a following question. 624 00:41:07,920 --> 00:41:10,880 Speaker 7: Too, Pea, I appreciate the question. I'm not here to 625 00:41:11,000 --> 00:41:13,440 Speaker 7: place guarantees on that, but I think the message the 626 00:41:13,440 --> 00:41:16,480 Speaker 7: President has given has been clear to the people of Iran. 627 00:41:16,520 --> 00:41:20,120 Speaker 7: This is your moment were the world was seized by 628 00:41:20,160 --> 00:41:23,839 Speaker 7: these crowds and then seized by the reality of this 629 00:41:23,880 --> 00:41:27,839 Speaker 7: regime killing tens of thousands of innocent protesters. So we 630 00:41:27,960 --> 00:41:30,560 Speaker 7: saw the nature of the regime yet again exposed. We 631 00:41:30,600 --> 00:41:34,920 Speaker 7: saw many many of the Iranian people seek a change there. 632 00:41:35,360 --> 00:41:36,799 Speaker 7: This is their moment to take advantage of it. 633 00:41:36,840 --> 00:41:41,920 Speaker 13: For sure, you served in Iraq and know that no 634 00:41:42,239 --> 00:41:47,600 Speaker 13: Amrikian soldiers were killed in Kurdistan. The Kurdish people are 635 00:41:47,840 --> 00:41:52,560 Speaker 13: very pro Amrikian. Will you continue pro to Kurdistan and 636 00:41:52,920 --> 00:41:57,640 Speaker 13: Peshmergha as loyal ally of the United States. Why I'm 637 00:41:57,680 --> 00:42:02,960 Speaker 13: asking this question because no Stani's under at by Iranian 638 00:42:03,040 --> 00:42:06,720 Speaker 13: drones and by proxies in Perra and on the region. 639 00:42:06,960 --> 00:42:10,120 Speaker 7: I think I can speak to allies generally in the 640 00:42:10,160 --> 00:42:13,120 Speaker 7: region who we've been in constant communication with. We have 641 00:42:13,160 --> 00:42:15,280 Speaker 7: been standing shoulder to shoulder with them, and we appreciate 642 00:42:15,280 --> 00:42:16,160 Speaker 7: their capabilities. 643 00:42:16,200 --> 00:42:16,799 Speaker 3: Absolutely. 644 00:42:17,000 --> 00:42:19,520 Speaker 11: Yes, right here, Hi, thank you.

My question is about some of the domestic threats, 646 00:42:22,480 --> 00:42:24,600 Speaker 11: if any were doing this right now, that there are 647 00:42:24,800 --> 00:42:28,400 Speaker 11: any concerns about Iranian sleeper cells and kind of what 648 00:42:28,440 --> 00:42:31,280 Speaker 11: has the Trump administration been doing to kind of monitor these. 649 00:42:31,280 --> 00:42:35,200 Speaker 7: Across the Intern Agency in full coordination. Of course, we're 650 00:42:35,200 --> 00:42:39,480 Speaker 7: paying attention to any potentialities there there. This is a 651 00:42:39,600 --> 00:42:43,520 Speaker 7: former regime, a regime that seeks to export that ideology 652 00:42:43,600 --> 00:42:47,680 Speaker 7: and try to so terror. We're ready for that. We've 653 00:42:47,719 --> 00:42:50,040 Speaker 7: we've seen these types of folks before, and the American 654 00:42:50,080 --> 00:42:54,240 Speaker 7: people can rest assured that we're vigilant on that exactly. 655 00:42:54,440 --> 00:42:54,680 Speaker 2: Thank you. 656 00:42:55,200 --> 00:42:57,160 Speaker 11: Kind of follow up on that last question, there was 657 00:42:57,440 --> 00:42:59,560 Speaker 11: just this what appears to be a terrorist attack in 658 00:42:59,800 --> 00:43:01,120 Speaker 11: all yesterday. 659 00:43:02,040 --> 00:43:05,000 Speaker 3: How does that change the operation at all? What effect 660 00:43:05,000 --> 00:43:05,480 Speaker 3: does that have? 661 00:43:05,920 --> 00:43:07,600 Speaker 7: It doesn't change the operation at all, and I know 662 00:43:07,640 --> 00:43:10,440 Speaker 7: the authorities are executing exactly the way they should. 663 00:43:10,320 --> 00:43:13,400 Speaker 10: Secretary Higseth, and one for Chairman Kean as well. I 664 00:43:13,480 --> 00:43:16,320 Speaker 10: understand to your point here that you don't want to 665 00:43:16,360 --> 00:43:20,360 Speaker 10: broadcast everything for our adversaries to hear, but the American 666 00:43:20,360 --> 00:43:22,920 Speaker 10: people also want to know what they're sending their men 667 00:43:22,960 --> 00:43:26,239 Speaker 10: and women to war for. Is there a concern of 668 00:43:26,280 --> 00:43:28,759 Speaker 10: this spiraling into a longer war? 669 00:43:28,800 --> 00:43:30,160 Speaker 2: And then one for the Chairman when you're. 670 00:43:30,000 --> 00:43:34,200 Speaker 7: Done, did you not hear my remarks. I mean, we're 671 00:43:34,600 --> 00:43:37,680 Speaker 7: ensuring the mission gets accomplished. But we are very clear eyed, 672 00:43:37,680 --> 00:43:41,920 Speaker 7: as the President has been, unlike other presidents about the 673 00:43:41,960 --> 00:43:45,960 Speaker 7: foolish policies of the past that recklessly pulled us in 674 00:43:46,000 --> 00:43:48,920 Speaker 7: the things that were not tethered to actual clear objectives. 675 00:43:50,280 --> 00:43:54,640 Speaker 7: So we know we have plans, we have generals, we 676 00:43:54,640 --> 00:43:57,560 Speaker 7: have chairmans, we have commanders, sent comp commanders, Admiral Cooper 677 00:43:57,880 --> 00:44:01,359 Speaker 7: who's executing very deliberately to ensure outcomes that I laid 678 00:44:01,400 --> 00:44:04,279 Speaker 7: out are accomplished. But we would never in front of 679 00:44:04,320 --> 00:44:07,239 Speaker 7: a press bowls lay out how long that may take. 680 00:44:08,000 --> 00:44:10,160 Speaker 7: The mission for our war fighters, which is what matters 681 00:44:10,200 --> 00:44:13,880 Speaker 7: to us, is very very clear, and they're executing it 682 00:44:13,960 --> 00:44:16,200 Speaker 7: right now, violently quickly. 683 00:44:16,239 --> 00:44:19,319 Speaker 15: I have one the chairman, you said, this is not 684 00:44:19,520 --> 00:44:22,760 Speaker 15: a one night operation. It will take time to achieve 685 00:44:22,800 --> 00:44:26,600 Speaker 15: the goals. What would be the goal line here for you? 686 00:44:27,000 --> 00:44:29,880 Speaker 8: I think the Secretary laid out the military objectives and 687 00:44:29,920 --> 00:44:32,520 Speaker 8: that's what we execute against as a military objective. 688 00:44:32,680 --> 00:44:35,319 Speaker 7: That's one right here, Thank you, sir. 689 00:44:35,440 --> 00:44:38,120 Speaker 16: As you've said, there are a large amount of US 690 00:44:38,160 --> 00:44:39,360 Speaker 16: service members that are. 691 00:44:39,200 --> 00:44:42,960 Speaker 9: In harm's way right now. What is your prayer for them. 692 00:44:43,800 --> 00:44:45,200 Speaker 7: First of all, my prayer for them is that I 693 00:44:45,239 --> 00:44:48,480 Speaker 7: do pray for them. My wife praised for them, our 694 00:44:48,480 --> 00:44:52,399 Speaker 7: family praise for them, our cabinet praise for them. None 695 00:44:52,440 --> 00:44:57,160 Speaker 7: of this is done on a whim. Having been in 696 00:44:57,200 --> 00:44:59,800 Speaker 7: their boots, having been in their shoes, having been in 697 00:44:59,800 --> 00:45:03,520 Speaker 7: their flight suits. I think we I mean, I know 698 00:45:03,600 --> 00:45:05,520 Speaker 7: we think about them with every decision that we make, 699 00:45:05,520 --> 00:45:08,120 Speaker 7: in every recommendation that we make to the President of 700 00:45:08,120 --> 00:45:13,399 Speaker 7: the United States, those recommendations are made perfectly. And when 701 00:45:13,440 --> 00:45:16,680 Speaker 7: I pray every day for them and for this mission, 702 00:45:17,120 --> 00:45:19,800 Speaker 7: I pray simply for the biblical wisdom to see what 703 00:45:19,920 --> 00:45:22,600 Speaker 7: is right and the courage to do it. It's gonna 704 00:45:22,640 --> 00:45:24,680 Speaker 7: take courage to follow through on this. There's gonna be 705 00:45:24,680 --> 00:45:26,960 Speaker 7: a lot of noise, and we pray for that, and 706 00:45:27,000 --> 00:45:28,799 Speaker 7: we hope all of you do to do as well. 707 00:45:28,840 --> 00:45:30,640 Speaker 7: Thank you very much, appreciate it. Thank you. 708 00:45:33,800 --> 00:45:34,680 Speaker 2: Going to strike her. 709 00:45:40,360 --> 00:45:42,919 Speaker 4: You've been listening to Secretary of War Pete haig Seth 710 00:45:42,960 --> 00:45:45,160 Speaker 4: along with the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, 711 00:45:45,440 --> 00:45:48,839 Speaker 4: General Dan Kane, laying out the mission in Iran. There 712 00:45:48,880 --> 00:45:50,640 Speaker 4: is a lot to unpack from what you just heard. 713 00:45:50,719 --> 00:45:53,560 Speaker 4: So let's bring back doctor Gina and David, along with 714 00:45:53,880 --> 00:45:57,799 Speaker 4: South Carolina Congresswoman Sherry Biggs. She is the congresswoman who 715 00:45:57,920 --> 00:46:01,880 Speaker 4: is the highest ranking actively serving guards woman in Congress, 716 00:46:02,080 --> 00:46:04,960 Speaker 4: a congress woman. We appreciate you sticking around. As I mentioned, 717 00:46:05,000 --> 00:46:07,200 Speaker 4: there's a lot to talk about here. One of the 718 00:46:07,239 --> 00:46:10,440 Speaker 4: things that struck me Secretary heg Seth laying out that 719 00:46:10,640 --> 00:46:13,040 Speaker 4: part of the reason for this war is or that 720 00:46:13,120 --> 00:46:16,640 Speaker 4: this war in fact is a generational turning point. My 721 00:46:16,760 --> 00:46:18,920 Speaker 4: colleague David Brodie, as we were listening to all of this, 722 00:46:19,000 --> 00:46:21,360 Speaker 4: also pointing out that the Secretary is saying, this is 723 00:46:21,400 --> 00:46:25,080 Speaker 4: not a rock, this is not endless. How do you 724 00:46:25,120 --> 00:46:27,879 Speaker 4: assess all of that? And where do you stand on 725 00:46:27,920 --> 00:46:30,360 Speaker 4: what you've just heard from the Secretary and the Chairman 726 00:46:30,400 --> 00:46:31,560 Speaker 4: and the Joint chiefs of Staff. 727 00:46:32,719 --> 00:46:34,960 Speaker 16: Well, good morning, and thank you so much for having me. 728 00:46:35,600 --> 00:46:39,359 Speaker 16: It was really exciting to hear the Secretary of War 729 00:46:39,440 --> 00:46:43,000 Speaker 16: heg Seth and also General Cain. I couldn't help but 730 00:46:43,120 --> 00:46:46,919 Speaker 16: think of I just finished Air War College last year 731 00:46:47,040 --> 00:46:51,840 Speaker 16: early last year, and the playbook is there. We talked 732 00:46:51,960 --> 00:46:55,000 Speaker 16: over and over about how conflict was going to be 733 00:46:55,160 --> 00:46:58,600 Speaker 16: viewed differently, how we wouldn't be doing the same things, 734 00:46:58,760 --> 00:47:02,040 Speaker 16: and you see playing out, and you see it in 735 00:47:02,120 --> 00:47:07,799 Speaker 16: the success, you know, with we had Midnight Hammer, the 736 00:47:07,880 --> 00:47:11,520 Speaker 16: capture of Maduro, and now they're in Iran, and in 737 00:47:11,680 --> 00:47:16,719 Speaker 16: the success of what our Pentagon has been able to accomplish. 738 00:47:17,320 --> 00:47:21,600 Speaker 16: Is exciting. And I'm so grateful to our military members, 739 00:47:21,800 --> 00:47:25,640 Speaker 16: our heroes, our warriors. I just pray for them daily. 740 00:47:26,000 --> 00:47:30,240 Speaker 16: And I'm also praying for our leaders. President Trump yesterday 741 00:47:30,520 --> 00:47:33,719 Speaker 16: when when I heard him say the hour of your 742 00:47:33,800 --> 00:47:37,399 Speaker 16: freedom as at hand, it just gave me chills. I mean, 743 00:47:37,440 --> 00:47:42,440 Speaker 16: we are changing history and nobody else could get this done. 744 00:47:43,800 --> 00:47:47,879 Speaker 2: This whole thing is really fascinating to watch a transpire. 745 00:47:48,400 --> 00:47:52,440 Speaker 2: And President Trump has had a consistent message really throughout 746 00:47:52,480 --> 00:47:57,040 Speaker 2: his lifetime on the topic of Iran and what can 747 00:47:57,080 --> 00:48:02,160 Speaker 2: be done there and how it can be You just 748 00:48:02,200 --> 00:48:05,759 Speaker 2: don't want to say one because war is so awful 749 00:48:06,280 --> 00:48:09,080 Speaker 2: when there's any price to pay, but one from an 750 00:48:09,120 --> 00:48:13,719 Speaker 2: America first perspective, let me ask you this, if all 751 00:48:13,760 --> 00:48:18,839 Speaker 2: of our efforts are successful, there will that change our 752 00:48:19,560 --> 00:48:22,960 Speaker 2: financial obligations to Israel. 753 00:48:26,719 --> 00:48:29,800 Speaker 16: You know, I can't really speak on that. I feel 754 00:48:29,800 --> 00:48:34,240 Speaker 16: like we have to just stay focused on keeping America first. 755 00:48:35,040 --> 00:48:40,160 Speaker 16: Israel is definitely an ally, and I'm very grateful for 756 00:48:40,320 --> 00:48:45,879 Speaker 16: their joint work with us right now. So we'll see 757 00:48:45,880 --> 00:48:47,320 Speaker 16: where this leads. 758 00:48:46,960 --> 00:48:49,879 Speaker 2: And go from there. Could it Could it change that. 759 00:48:52,960 --> 00:48:53,520 Speaker 1: Possibly? 760 00:48:54,080 --> 00:48:57,399 Speaker 16: I think so. But you know, I think Israel has 761 00:48:57,520 --> 00:49:01,120 Speaker 16: so much to offer. They lead into technology, they have 762 00:49:01,239 --> 00:49:04,600 Speaker 16: their own assets, you know, I think just working with 763 00:49:04,760 --> 00:49:11,880 Speaker 16: them as an ally and providing protection for our nation, 764 00:49:12,480 --> 00:49:14,799 Speaker 16: I think that there's a lot to be said in that. 765 00:49:16,360 --> 00:49:20,120 Speaker 1: Congresswoman. Look, a lot of folks talk about Maga. This 766 00:49:20,239 --> 00:49:22,839 Speaker 1: is what Maga thinks, you know, time out. You know, 767 00:49:22,960 --> 00:49:26,560 Speaker 1: Maga thinks different things and depending on you know, who's 768 00:49:26,600 --> 00:49:30,040 Speaker 1: talking within Maga first of all. But but I'm curious 769 00:49:30,080 --> 00:49:33,440 Speaker 1: to kind of get your sense of there can some 770 00:49:33,480 --> 00:49:36,160 Speaker 1: of their concerns. Uh, you know, I always call it 771 00:49:36,200 --> 00:49:38,719 Speaker 1: the isolations crowd. That's not true, Genus, correct me on that. 772 00:49:38,760 --> 00:49:41,080 Speaker 1: You're right, Gina, I'm not quite sure what the term 773 00:49:41,200 --> 00:49:46,000 Speaker 1: is exactly. Non interventionist. They'll say America first. So what 774 00:49:46,040 --> 00:49:48,840 Speaker 1: do you say to the Tucker Carlson crowd, you know, 775 00:49:48,880 --> 00:49:51,440 Speaker 1: folks like that who were saying, what what happened in 776 00:49:52,000 --> 00:49:56,400 Speaker 1: uh Iran was quote disgusting and evil and what about 777 00:49:56,440 --> 00:49:58,880 Speaker 1: the unknown? I mean we don't know. I mean, this 778 00:49:58,920 --> 00:50:04,239 Speaker 1: could go sideways, obviously, and there's no guarantee that this 779 00:50:04,400 --> 00:50:07,000 Speaker 1: might be somewhat of a quagmire. I mean, there's always 780 00:50:07,000 --> 00:50:08,319 Speaker 1: that possibility for sure. 781 00:50:10,120 --> 00:50:12,279 Speaker 16: Well, I certainly don't have a crystal ball, and I 782 00:50:12,280 --> 00:50:15,600 Speaker 16: can't speculate what's going to happen. But I think that 783 00:50:15,840 --> 00:50:20,000 Speaker 16: this action was critical to protecting Americans. 784 00:50:20,280 --> 00:50:22,000 Speaker 1: I don't think we had a choice. 785 00:50:22,239 --> 00:50:24,600 Speaker 16: I mean, the President has tried to sit down at 786 00:50:24,600 --> 00:50:28,640 Speaker 16: the table and discuss options, and we weren't getting anywhere. 787 00:50:29,000 --> 00:50:34,000 Speaker 16: The Iranian regime they're evil, you know. They just chose 788 00:50:34,080 --> 00:50:39,480 Speaker 16: to keep delaying things. They chose to keep deceiving not 789 00:50:39,600 --> 00:50:43,440 Speaker 16: only our country but others. And all they want is 790 00:50:43,520 --> 00:50:46,719 Speaker 16: continued aggression and we can't have that. We have to 791 00:50:46,760 --> 00:50:50,160 Speaker 16: put a stop to it to protect our country. They 792 00:50:50,200 --> 00:50:54,040 Speaker 16: don't need nuclear weapons. Even the Democrats, you saw it 793 00:50:54,160 --> 00:50:57,759 Speaker 16: the State of the Union. Even the Democrats agree that 794 00:50:57,840 --> 00:51:02,080 Speaker 16: Iran cannot be trusted with nuclear weapons. 795 00:51:03,160 --> 00:51:05,520 Speaker 4: Congresswoman, let's get to the elephant in the room. And 796 00:51:05,719 --> 00:51:09,160 Speaker 4: Secretary Hank Seth as well as General Kane addressed this 797 00:51:09,200 --> 00:51:12,720 Speaker 4: to some degree doing their news conference just this morning. 798 00:51:12,760 --> 00:51:16,680 Speaker 4: Kuwait shot down three of our fighter jets. They're calling 799 00:51:16,719 --> 00:51:19,440 Speaker 4: it a situation at this point, a friendly fire, but 800 00:51:19,480 --> 00:51:22,560 Speaker 4: that's got to raise even more concerns in that region, 801 00:51:22,600 --> 00:51:25,160 Speaker 4: particularly as our soldiers are trying to carry out their mission. 802 00:51:28,000 --> 00:51:32,279 Speaker 16: Yes, I mean, we just have to stay focus and 803 00:51:32,320 --> 00:51:36,799 Speaker 16: this is going to change. Our strategy will change and 804 00:51:36,840 --> 00:51:41,000 Speaker 16: they will be making decisions. But people that are trying 805 00:51:41,040 --> 00:51:44,640 Speaker 16: to hurt our military members will be held accountable. 806 00:51:46,239 --> 00:51:49,720 Speaker 1: Congresswoman Biggs, thank you so much for sticking around throughout 807 00:51:49,760 --> 00:51:51,840 Speaker 1: that press conference.

What are your concerns this morning, 816 00:52:20,120 --> 00:52:21,919 Speaker 1: or how do you feel it's gone so far? 817 00:52:23,960 --> 00:52:26,960 Speaker 12: Yeah, good morning. I think ultimately when you're going to 818 00:52:26,960 --> 00:52:28,680 Speaker 12: ask the question about how it's gone so far, I 819 00:52:28,719 --> 00:52:30,960 Speaker 12: will tell you it's kind of like watching the most 820 00:52:31,160 --> 00:52:34,240 Speaker 12: highly choreographed dancer team in the world, and you expect 821 00:52:34,239 --> 00:52:38,120 Speaker 12: perfection from it, and that's what you're getting. It's expertise, 822 00:52:38,160 --> 00:52:42,280 Speaker 12: it's professionalism, it's tight synchronization on targets. I mean, it's 823 00:52:42,800 --> 00:52:46,800 Speaker 12: having been involved in helping plan operations of this scale 824 00:52:46,880 --> 00:52:51,440 Speaker 12: and magnitude, even for this scenario that we're actually executing 825 00:52:51,480 --> 00:52:54,680 Speaker 12: out what they'ren I'll tell you I've been impressed with 826 00:52:54,719 --> 00:52:57,640 Speaker 12: the results, how fast it's happened, how well it's happened, 827 00:52:57,880 --> 00:53:01,239 Speaker 12: the relatively costs to all of it. 828 00:53:01,320 --> 00:53:01,440 Speaker 3: Though. 829 00:53:01,520 --> 00:53:04,840 Speaker 12: Of course, we don't like to ever lose anybody, but 830 00:53:05,840 --> 00:53:09,360 Speaker 12: you can't let that stop you, and America can be 831 00:53:09,440 --> 00:53:13,400 Speaker 12: confident that our military is still by far the best 832 00:53:13,400 --> 00:53:17,880 Speaker 12: in the world as a result. Despite that, are there concerns? 833 00:53:17,880 --> 00:53:21,080 Speaker 12: There always are. There's a few things that I've been 834 00:53:21,120 --> 00:53:25,640 Speaker 12: looking at, primarily ken Iran successfully somehow impede traffic in 835 00:53:25,680 --> 00:53:28,719 Speaker 12: the Straits to Hormuz. We've done a very good job 836 00:53:28,719 --> 00:53:30,680 Speaker 12: of targeting the Navy though, to make sure they can't 837 00:53:30,680 --> 00:53:32,520 Speaker 12: do that, and we've got to keep a very close 838 00:53:32,560 --> 00:53:37,360 Speaker 12: eye on it. Number two is how long will I 839 00:53:37,440 --> 00:53:40,320 Speaker 12: ron basically just kind of lash out throughout the region. 840 00:53:40,360 --> 00:53:43,279 Speaker 12: It seems against every country and make more enemies where 841 00:53:43,280 --> 00:53:44,879 Speaker 12: they may have not had one in the first place, 842 00:53:45,920 --> 00:53:47,920 Speaker 12: and what will result from that. So we have to 843 00:53:47,960 --> 00:53:50,719 Speaker 12: watch the fallout from that specifically, but most of that 844 00:53:50,800 --> 00:53:55,040 Speaker 12: will be nations and people's turning against Iran more than anything. 845 00:53:55,800 --> 00:53:58,080 Speaker 12: At the same time, we have to watch our own 846 00:53:58,160 --> 00:54:01,840 Speaker 12: back where our forces are a raded against those inside 847 00:54:01,840 --> 00:54:04,120 Speaker 12: any of these nations who may seek to harm us. 848 00:54:04,880 --> 00:54:07,400 Speaker 12: And the last one, and probably the most significant, is 849 00:54:08,040 --> 00:54:09,520 Speaker 12: what will the people will Iran do? 850 00:54:10,520 --> 00:54:11,279 Speaker 3: And what will the. 851 00:54:11,239 --> 00:54:13,560 Speaker 12: IRGC and the goods force on those who are trying 852 00:54:13,600 --> 00:54:16,520 Speaker 12: to maintain power the best they can do to try 853 00:54:16,560 --> 00:54:19,440 Speaker 12: to keep it. And will the Iranian people rise up 854 00:54:19,480 --> 00:54:22,560 Speaker 12: and take back their country from their dictators, Because that's 855 00:54:22,600 --> 00:54:25,640 Speaker 12: the ultimate answer. We're setting the conditions the best we 856 00:54:25,719 --> 00:54:27,759 Speaker 12: can to make sure that threat is reduced as far 857 00:54:27,800 --> 00:54:30,359 Speaker 12: as we can and whatever time it takes to get 858 00:54:30,400 --> 00:54:34,040 Speaker 12: it done. But that final and most important step will 859 00:54:34,080 --> 00:54:35,880 Speaker 12: be up to them, and that's what we really need 860 00:54:35,920 --> 00:54:36,839 Speaker 12: to keep our eye on too. 861 00:54:38,600 --> 00:54:42,600 Speaker 2: All right, Well, we certainly do appreciate your perspective when 862 00:54:42,640 --> 00:54:44,719 Speaker 2: I have you back soon for more, because there's going 863 00:54:44,760 --> 00:54:47,600 Speaker 2: to be a lot to digest.

Expect more losses from General Cain, Gina. 902 00:56:54,800 --> 00:56:56,919 Speaker 1: This is going to get worse before it gets better. 903 00:56:57,000 --> 00:56:59,239 Speaker 1: Let's be very clear about this, he did say. Here's 904 00:56:59,239 --> 00:57:02,400 Speaker 1: the quote is from Pete Hegseth. If you kill Americans, 905 00:57:03,200 --> 00:57:06,520 Speaker 1: we will kill you. Sounds America first to me. I'm 906 00:57:06,560 --> 00:57:08,960 Speaker 1: curious to get your take on what we've heard this morning. 907 00:57:08,960 --> 00:57:09,600 Speaker 1: Good morning to you. 908 00:57:09,600 --> 00:57:14,279 Speaker 2: By the way, Good morning, David. This is just going 909 00:57:14,360 --> 00:57:16,920 Speaker 2: to be sort of an up and down thing because 910 00:57:17,720 --> 00:57:21,840 Speaker 2: if this goes well, we all know, President secures his 911 00:57:21,920 --> 00:57:25,040 Speaker 2: spot as the peace president. And I believe that's his 912 00:57:25,200 --> 00:57:30,160 Speaker 2: sincere goal. If this goes sideways, the midterms are in 913 00:57:30,400 --> 00:57:32,240 Speaker 2: big peril. And I don't have to tell either one 914 00:57:32,280 --> 00:57:34,680 Speaker 2: of you that. So many times though, I feel like 915 00:57:34,760 --> 00:57:38,760 Speaker 2: we have underestimated this president and what he was doing. 916 00:57:38,920 --> 00:57:41,280 Speaker 2: This is the guy who said from the beginning, I'm 917 00:57:41,320 --> 00:57:44,360 Speaker 2: about ending all wars. He's been saying that throughout the 918 00:57:44,400 --> 00:57:49,880 Speaker 2: tenure of his efforts, political efforts whatsoever, really throughout his life, 919 00:57:50,240 --> 00:57:53,640 Speaker 2: and I don't believe he would do this, would have 920 00:57:53,720 --> 00:57:57,560 Speaker 2: executed this attack if it weren't about the bigger picture 921 00:57:57,720 --> 00:58:00,480 Speaker 2: of ending wars. I think he wants to be that 922 00:58:00,600 --> 00:58:03,440 Speaker 2: president worse than anything he wants. We know his priority 923 00:58:03,520 --> 00:58:06,600 Speaker 2: is to end the Russia Ukraine War. The problem is 924 00:58:06,680 --> 00:58:10,959 Speaker 2: Putin's not even at the table right now. So by 925 00:58:11,200 --> 00:58:15,480 Speaker 2: eliminating the Iranian drones in Iran in Venezuela, he basically 926 00:58:15,520 --> 00:58:19,760 Speaker 2: took away a major weapon, which puts a serious kind 927 00:58:19,880 --> 00:58:22,680 Speaker 2: of pressure on Putin. I think this is the part 928 00:58:22,720 --> 00:58:25,640 Speaker 2: of the war that's not being discussed. It really forces 929 00:58:25,680 --> 00:58:28,760 Speaker 2: the hand of Putin in a certain way and could 930 00:58:29,000 --> 00:58:33,440 Speaker 2: impact everything happening geopolitically right now. 931 00:58:33,520 --> 00:58:38,000 Speaker 4: Terrence, Yeah, and President Trump basically putting this or giving 932 00:58:38,000 --> 00:58:40,080 Speaker 4: a new lease on life if you will, to the 933 00:58:40,120 --> 00:58:42,880 Speaker 4: Iranian people, telling them this is the time, this is 934 00:58:42,920 --> 00:58:44,120 Speaker 4: the time for you to stand. 935 00:58:43,920 --> 00:58:45,800 Speaker 3: Up and retake your future. 936 00:58:46,200 --> 00:58:48,880 Speaker 4: Just moments ago, as we mentioned, Secretary of War Heike 937 00:58:48,960 --> 00:58:50,880 Speaker 4: Seth and the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, 938 00:58:50,920 --> 00:58:54,200 Speaker 4: General Dan Kine, offering up the mission objectives when it 939 00:58:54,200 --> 00:58:57,160 Speaker 4: comes to the attacks on around Over the weekend, three 940 00:58:57,280 --> 00:59:00,480 Speaker 4: US soldiers or at least two have been killed in 941 00:59:00,520 --> 00:59:04,440 Speaker 4: Kuwait as a result of retaliation attacks from Iran.

We didn't 949 00:59:32,960 --> 00:59:37,160 Speaker 7: start this war, but under President Trump, we are finishing it. 950 00:59:38,840 --> 00:59:42,280 Speaker 4: Meantime, the FBI is now investigating whether a deadly shooting 951 00:59:42,320 --> 00:59:45,440 Speaker 4: in Austin, Texas over the weekend is related to the 952 00:59:45,480 --> 00:59:48,840 Speaker 4: attacks on Iran.

But looking at the forecast head 990 01:01:29,880 --> 01:01:31,640 Speaker 17: going into eleven o'clock in the morning, a lot of 991 01:01:31,640 --> 01:01:34,120 Speaker 17: this reflectivity is coming back, but this is likely going 992 01:01:34,160 --> 01:01:36,360 Speaker 17: to be just more cloud covered, just an isolated chance 993 01:01:36,400 --> 01:01:39,080 Speaker 17: for some rainfall, nothing two major. Going into the end 994 01:01:39,160 --> 01:01:41,080 Speaker 17: of today and into tomorrow morning, things should be looking 995 01:01:41,120 --> 01:01:43,080 Speaker 17: relatively dry for most of the Middle East. If you're 996 01:01:43,080 --> 01:01:45,240 Speaker 17: further downs out again, that's really the biggest chance we'll 997 01:01:45,240 --> 01:01:47,960 Speaker 17: have of seeing any kind of meaningful precipitation. But not 998 01:01:48,040 --> 01:01:49,439 Speaker 17: to take you back a little bit towards the lower 999 01:01:49,480 --> 01:01:51,240 Speaker 17: forty eight out in Kendall, Florida, this was a look 1000 01:01:51,360 --> 01:01:54,280 Speaker 17: just yesterday had some really really rainy conditions down in 1001 01:01:54,320 --> 01:01:56,400 Speaker 17: southern Florida. And then now if you're out towards Iowa City, 1002 01:01:56,400 --> 01:01:59,040 Speaker 17: we had wide out conditions, lots of snowfall in that 1003 01:01:59,120 --> 01:02:01,520 Speaker 17: region as well. Where still tracking the remnants of that 1004 01:02:01,600 --> 01:02:03,919 Speaker 17: system as it makes its way across the Ohio Valley, 1005 01:02:03,920 --> 01:02:05,480 Speaker 17: where a lot of these temperatures are being a little 1006 01:02:05,520 --> 01:02:07,760 Speaker 17: bit cooler, especially if you're hugging the Atlantic Coast. Get 1007 01:02:07,840 --> 01:02:10,040 Speaker 17: up to twenty six degrees for your high out in Boston. 1008 01:02:10,120 --> 01:02:12,000 Speaker 17: Likely going to be the last day we'll see some 1009 01:02:12,040 --> 01:02:14,320 Speaker 17: real cool weather because all of this warmth that's down 1010 01:02:14,360 --> 01:02:16,880 Speaker 17: south will start to ascend towards the east. We'll get 1011 01:02:16,920 --> 01:02:19,120 Speaker 17: some warm temperatures across the Deep South, and all those 1012 01:02:19,120 --> 01:02:21,120 Speaker 17: temperatures will make its way towards the Northeast. 1013 01:02:21,120 --> 01:02:21,840 Speaker 3: For your forecast. 1014 01:02:21,880 --> 01:02:24,280 Speaker 17: High temperatures down in southern Texas, though, get up to 1015 01:02:24,320 --> 01:02:26,520 Speaker 17: eighty eight degrees by the time we get to Thursday 1016 01:02:26,640 --> 01:02:29,040 Speaker 17: out in San Antonio, with some moisture and some really 1017 01:02:29,040 --> 01:02:31,960 Speaker 17: warm air, we'll have a severe weather outlook for Tuesday night. 1018 01:02:32,040 --> 01:02:34,240 Speaker 17: Large hay will be the main threat. Wednesday we'll have 1019 01:02:34,240 --> 01:02:37,960 Speaker 17: a severe weather outlook including Dallas, and then into Thursday, Friday, 1020 01:02:38,280 --> 01:02:40,920 Speaker 17: and Saturday we will continue to have severe weather outlooks. 1021 01:02:40,960 --> 01:02:43,200 Speaker 17: So severe weather season is on the way, and of 1022 01:02:43,240 --> 01:02:44,800 Speaker 17: course we're kicking things off with a little bit of 1023 01:02:44,800 --> 01:02:46,080 Speaker 17: a bang going into the end of the work week, 1024 01:02:46,080 --> 01:02:48,000 Speaker 17: so make sure you do have waste to get severe 1025 01:02:48,040 --> 01:02:49,520 Speaker 17: weather alerts if anything is touched. 1026 01:02:49,360 --> 01:02:50,120 Speaker 3: Down in your area. 1027 01:02:50,240 --> 01:02:52,680 Speaker 17: Terrence, at the very least for Denver, you guys have 1028 01:02:52,840 --> 01:02:55,560 Speaker 17: been warmer than normal, so I'm guessing you are pretty 1029 01:02:55,560 --> 01:02:57,760 Speaker 17: happy about that, not really looking at too much snowfall. 1030 01:02:57,800 --> 01:02:59,880 Speaker 17: Things relatively good over where you're at. 1031 01:03:00,960 --> 01:03:02,840 Speaker 4: You know me too, Well, maybe I'm just that big 1032 01:03:02,840 --> 01:03:04,600 Speaker 4: of a cry baby because I don't like the cold. 1033 01:03:04,680 --> 01:03:07,960 Speaker 3: Adrian. I always get to see you, my friend. Thank you. Likewise, 1034 01:03:08,880 --> 01:03:10,680 Speaker 3: all right, let's get you over to David Birdie. 1035 01:03:10,760 --> 01:03:13,680 Speaker 4: David, we got that Middle East forecast, and I will 1036 01:03:13,720 --> 01:03:16,080 Speaker 4: just say, hopefully the conditions are right. If in fact, 1037 01:03:16,280 --> 01:03:19,000 Speaker 4: our troops in that region are ordered to escalate. The 1038 01:03:19,040 --> 01:03:21,240 Speaker 4: conditions will be right for them to successfully do. 1039 01:03:21,240 --> 01:03:23,760 Speaker 1: So, no doubt about it. Tea Bates, all right, well, 1040 01:03:23,800 --> 01:03:26,560 Speaker 1: let's move to the Middle East. Ron vowing revenge after 1041 01:03:26,560 --> 01:03:29,800 Speaker 1: the killing of its supreme leader. As a widening war 1042 01:03:30,000 --> 01:03:33,680 Speaker 1: ups across the Middle East, US and Israeli forces continuing 1043 01:03:33,680 --> 01:03:37,200 Speaker 1: to trade heavy strikes with Tehran. We just heard that 1044 01:03:37,240 --> 01:03:39,240 Speaker 1: this is probably going to last at least a month, 1045 01:03:39,560 --> 01:03:42,280 Speaker 1: possibly longer. We just don't know. President Trump says, the 1046 01:03:42,320 --> 01:03:45,920 Speaker 1: operation said it could take four weeks or less. So 1047 01:03:46,520 --> 01:03:49,720 Speaker 1: that's kind of what Hegseth and the General General Kane 1048 01:03:49,760 --> 01:03:53,000 Speaker 1: said this morning. And now they're urging the Iranian people 1049 01:03:53,000 --> 01:03:55,200 Speaker 1: to rise up and take controller of the country. Here 1050 01:03:55,240 --> 01:03:56,600 Speaker 1: he was over the weekend. By the way, here's the 1051 01:03:56,600 --> 01:03:57,280 Speaker 1: President tickaling. 1052 01:03:58,280 --> 01:04:01,280 Speaker 18: Finally, to the great, proud peace people of Iran. I 1053 01:04:01,360 --> 01:04:04,600 Speaker 18: say tonight that the hour of your freedom is at hand. 1054 01:04:05,400 --> 01:04:09,520 Speaker 18: Stay sheltered, don't leave your home. It's very dangerous outside. 1055 01:04:09,600 --> 01:04:13,200 Speaker 18: Bombs will be dropping everywhere. When we are finished, take 1056 01:04:13,320 --> 01:04:16,920 Speaker 18: over your government, it will be yours to take. This 1057 01:04:17,080 --> 01:04:21,200 Speaker 18: will be probably your only chance for a generation. 1058 01:04:23,360 --> 01:04:26,080 Speaker 1: All right, Joining us with analysis is research analysts for 1059 01:04:26,160 --> 01:04:28,640 Speaker 1: the Foundation for the Defense of Democracies that would do 1060 01:04:29,240 --> 01:04:35,800 Speaker 1: Jonathan saye, Jonathan, good morning. There's a lot to unpack here. Militarily, 1061 01:04:36,360 --> 01:04:38,080 Speaker 1: maybe you want to address some of that, But I 1062 01:04:38,120 --> 01:04:41,880 Speaker 1: am curious on the regime change situation, how do you 1063 01:04:41,960 --> 01:04:44,880 Speaker 1: think that will play out? Is there a sense of 1064 01:04:45,920 --> 01:04:49,640 Speaker 1: we know the Iranian people want regime change, but what 1065 01:04:49,800 --> 01:04:52,560 Speaker 1: does that look like? And I don't mean geopolitically, I'm 1066 01:04:52,600 --> 01:04:55,960 Speaker 1: talking about on the streets of Iran actually going ahead 1067 01:04:56,240 --> 01:04:59,160 Speaker 1: and making the move towards regime change. How would that 1068 01:04:59,200 --> 01:05:02,000 Speaker 1: play out exactly? And how long could that something like 1069 01:05:02,040 --> 01:05:02,520 Speaker 1: that take. 1070 01:05:04,240 --> 01:05:06,960 Speaker 19: So it's going to be, of course, a extensive campaign, 1071 01:05:06,960 --> 01:05:10,720 Speaker 19: and the core to that is having an opposition figure, 1072 01:05:10,760 --> 01:05:13,240 Speaker 19: and that is the Crown Prince pat Lavi, who's been 1073 01:05:13,320 --> 01:05:16,240 Speaker 19: leading this movement. You know, having been involved in Tehran's 1074 01:05:16,280 --> 01:05:18,760 Speaker 19: protest myself in two thousand and nine, we were there 1075 01:05:18,800 --> 01:05:21,280 Speaker 19: on the streets and we never got external support. The 1076 01:05:21,440 --> 01:05:24,720 Speaker 19: administration at the time under Obama thought any help to 1077 01:05:24,800 --> 01:05:28,520 Speaker 19: the Iranians by an American public would somehow have a 1078 01:05:28,560 --> 01:05:31,400 Speaker 19: negative implications. We know that no longer continues to be 1079 01:05:31,400 --> 01:05:33,720 Speaker 19: the case. So as to what Iranians on the ground 1080 01:05:33,760 --> 01:05:37,040 Speaker 19: want talking to folks is that they are standing by. 1081 01:05:37,440 --> 01:05:40,600 Speaker 19: Of course, the President directly noted that they should stay 1082 01:05:40,640 --> 01:05:43,080 Speaker 19: in shelters. It's not time to rise up quite yet. 1083 01:05:43,240 --> 01:05:47,600 Speaker 19: It's really about degrading the capacity of repression. Both Israelis 1084 01:05:47,600 --> 01:05:50,720 Speaker 19: and American strikes have been taking out different pillars that 1085 01:05:50,800 --> 01:05:54,520 Speaker 19: have been killing protesters. So once that leadership level is gone, 1086 01:05:54,640 --> 01:05:57,400 Speaker 19: and once the protesters are actually called upon by the 1087 01:05:57,400 --> 01:06:01,040 Speaker 19: opposition and by the US administration to take to the streets, 1088 01:06:01,160 --> 01:06:03,360 Speaker 19: that's where we're going to see defections. Of course, and 1089 01:06:03,400 --> 01:06:06,800 Speaker 19: we're talking about mid level and lower level military officials, 1090 01:06:06,880 --> 01:06:08,760 Speaker 19: So it is really gonna come down to them if 1091 01:06:08,760 --> 01:06:11,480 Speaker 19: they want to really face the consequences of dealing with 1092 01:06:11,560 --> 01:06:13,680 Speaker 19: the masses that going to take to the streets, or 1093 01:06:13,720 --> 01:06:15,760 Speaker 19: if they're going to defect and join the movement or 1094 01:06:15,800 --> 01:06:18,120 Speaker 19: defend the movement with their weaponry. But what we do 1095 01:06:18,200 --> 01:06:21,920 Speaker 19: know is that the mindset on the ground is absolutely revolutionary. 1096 01:06:22,200 --> 01:06:26,400 Speaker 19: Iranians already sacrificed their lives about forty thousand about a 1097 01:06:26,440 --> 01:06:30,080 Speaker 19: month ago, and if there's any indication they're really willing 1098 01:06:30,080 --> 01:06:32,240 Speaker 19: to risk more right now, because to them, it is 1099 01:06:32,280 --> 01:06:35,360 Speaker 19: now or never. It is an unpreceded opportunity, and once 1100 01:06:35,440 --> 01:06:38,520 Speaker 19: the sparks really was ignited by the US and Israeli attack, 1101 01:06:38,680 --> 01:06:41,160 Speaker 19: Iranians are just waiting further instructions to take to the 1102 01:06:41,200 --> 01:06:42,920 Speaker 19: streets and reclaim their country. 1103 01:06:44,040 --> 01:06:46,280 Speaker 4: Jonathan, from the outside looking in, it seems to me 1104 01:06:46,360 --> 01:06:49,000 Speaker 4: that there's kind of this three pronged approach. Yes, the 1105 01:06:49,120 --> 01:06:53,600 Speaker 4: United States has begun to bomb and take down the infrastructure, 1106 01:06:53,640 --> 01:06:57,160 Speaker 4: if you will there in Iran. You mentioned the social uprising, 1107 01:06:57,160 --> 01:06:58,960 Speaker 4: but there seems to also be the third prong, which 1108 01:06:58,960 --> 01:07:00,440 Speaker 4: would be the political up rising. 1109 01:07:00,640 --> 01:07:01,600 Speaker 3: There's already a. 1110 01:07:01,520 --> 01:07:05,320 Speaker 4: Move in place to install a new Ayatola, and it 1111 01:07:05,360 --> 01:07:08,400 Speaker 4: seems to me the political infrastructure also needs to be 1112 01:07:08,440 --> 01:07:10,760 Speaker 4: broken down in order to change the regime. There, am 1113 01:07:10,800 --> 01:07:12,360 Speaker 4: i am I off there, am I off base. 1114 01:07:13,160 --> 01:07:16,160 Speaker 19: No, you're absolutely correct, and Israeli officials actually announced that 1115 01:07:16,160 --> 01:07:20,760 Speaker 19: they're going after previous, current and future leaders. Now when 1116 01:07:20,840 --> 01:07:23,360 Speaker 19: you look at you know which iotolas these are. They're 1117 01:07:23,360 --> 01:07:26,240 Speaker 19: not legitimate, they're not nearly as known as much as 1118 01:07:26,240 --> 01:07:29,560 Speaker 19: the previous Ietola. Of course, more and more is really targeted. 1119 01:07:29,600 --> 01:07:32,640 Speaker 19: The assassination is going to eliminate these people. The fact 1120 01:07:32,640 --> 01:07:35,360 Speaker 19: that the campaign needs to go on as long as 1121 01:07:35,400 --> 01:07:37,800 Speaker 19: it's supposed to. We're talking about weeks, and that is 1122 01:07:37,840 --> 01:07:40,240 Speaker 19: exactly why, because you want to ensure that there is 1123 01:07:40,320 --> 01:07:43,080 Speaker 19: no one that could replace this, and that's a major signal, 1124 01:07:43,160 --> 01:07:45,720 Speaker 19: meaning no matter whom you elect, he's going to be, 1125 01:07:45,840 --> 01:07:49,040 Speaker 19: he's going to be destroyed. So it is upon you 1126 01:07:49,080 --> 01:07:51,240 Speaker 19: to realize that there is no way out but through 1127 01:07:51,320 --> 01:07:54,280 Speaker 19: for you regime officials. So of course you right to 1128 01:07:54,280 --> 01:07:57,440 Speaker 19: point out the political leadership, but again that is mostly symbolic. 1129 01:07:57,480 --> 01:08:00,520 Speaker 19: The political leadership is there to legitimize the mil ter anger. 1130 01:08:00,720 --> 01:08:03,840 Speaker 19: You're talking about the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Court. They really 1131 01:08:03,880 --> 01:08:06,480 Speaker 19: feed off of each other, you know, legitimizing one another. 1132 01:08:06,600 --> 01:08:08,880 Speaker 19: But again it's more important for us to focus on 1133 01:08:08,920 --> 01:08:12,360 Speaker 19: that apparatus that of course is killing you runians inside 1134 01:08:12,440 --> 01:08:15,880 Speaker 19: and killing us a serviceman on the outside. So it's really, 1135 01:08:15,920 --> 01:08:17,639 Speaker 19: like you mentioned, it is a two layered game. 1136 01:08:17,800 --> 01:08:18,439 Speaker 1: We've seen so. 1137 01:08:18,439 --> 01:08:21,519 Speaker 19: Far israelis taking the lead with one of these hyper 1138 01:08:21,560 --> 01:08:24,439 Speaker 19: local targetings. It needs to even be more specific than that. 1139 01:08:24,520 --> 01:08:26,760 Speaker 19: I think once the major wave is over, we're going 1140 01:08:26,800 --> 01:08:31,160 Speaker 19: to see more attacks against specific squads and battalions operating 1141 01:08:31,200 --> 01:08:33,960 Speaker 19: throughout the country. That would allow the civil society to breathe. 1142 01:08:34,040 --> 01:08:36,720 Speaker 19: But I don't think the run in public or the 1143 01:08:36,800 --> 01:08:39,439 Speaker 19: United States at this point would accept another form of 1144 01:08:40,120 --> 01:08:43,040 Speaker 19: leadership change within the same framework of the Islamic Republic. 1145 01:08:43,240 --> 01:08:46,240 Speaker 19: I think everybody understands that we need systemic change for 1146 01:08:46,600 --> 01:08:47,840 Speaker 19: prosperity to really occur. 1147 01:08:48,960 --> 01:08:51,519 Speaker 2: President Trump has said that the removal of around Supreme 1148 01:08:51,600 --> 01:08:57,519 Speaker 2: Leader will make diplomatic solutions with the RAN easier. What 1149 01:08:57,640 --> 01:09:00,360 Speaker 2: is your prediction here, what do you really foreseeing there? 1150 01:09:00,400 --> 01:09:03,080 Speaker 2: And even more importantly, what are you hearing on the 1151 01:09:03,240 --> 01:09:05,280 Speaker 2: street from the Iranian people. 1152 01:09:06,920 --> 01:09:10,080 Speaker 19: So of course we need to realize that there's no 1153 01:09:10,800 --> 01:09:14,720 Speaker 19: differentiation between different figures within the Islamic Republic. Whether you're 1154 01:09:14,720 --> 01:09:19,599 Speaker 19: talking about reformists, hardliners, Iotolas or the IRGC figures, all 1155 01:09:19,680 --> 01:09:21,880 Speaker 19: of them are aligned on major issues that they do 1156 01:09:21,920 --> 01:09:24,240 Speaker 19: not want to halt in richment. We have to remember 1157 01:09:24,479 --> 01:09:26,760 Speaker 19: this foreign minister right now that's in charge, that is 1158 01:09:26,800 --> 01:09:29,160 Speaker 19: coming out and publicly saying they're not going to halt 1159 01:09:29,479 --> 01:09:32,760 Speaker 19: uranium enrichment that's used for weaponization, is affiliated with the 1160 01:09:32,840 --> 01:09:35,439 Speaker 19: reformist camp. So no matter whom you have in charge, 1161 01:09:35,800 --> 01:09:38,479 Speaker 19: of course they're not going to provide concessions. Especially the 1162 01:09:38,520 --> 01:09:42,120 Speaker 19: more paranoid they become, they're going to increasingly think any 1163 01:09:42,160 --> 01:09:45,280 Speaker 19: compromise is a sign of weakness. As for the Iranians inside, 1164 01:09:45,280 --> 01:09:47,680 Speaker 19: they already see this crumbling. So when I talk to 1165 01:09:47,680 --> 01:09:50,880 Speaker 19: folks on the ground, as challenging as that is because 1166 01:09:50,880 --> 01:09:53,560 Speaker 19: of the internet outages, but still you're able to communicate, 1167 01:09:54,120 --> 01:09:56,720 Speaker 19: they don't really see a viable option. They don't know 1168 01:09:56,760 --> 01:09:59,880 Speaker 19: anybody within the system that would be notable, legitimate enough 1169 01:09:59,880 --> 01:10:03,040 Speaker 19: to really take lead. So I think to them they're 1170 01:10:03,080 --> 01:10:06,240 Speaker 19: just winning on instructions. They see this as a crumbling state. 1171 01:10:06,680 --> 01:10:08,960 Speaker 19: Of course they sell the President really backing them. It 1172 01:10:09,000 --> 01:10:11,200 Speaker 19: would be it would be a catastrophe for us to 1173 01:10:11,360 --> 01:10:16,519 Speaker 19: alienate this pro America population by somehow entertaining another form 1174 01:10:16,560 --> 01:10:20,120 Speaker 19: of an Ietola. Again, this is really times of essence. 1175 01:10:20,600 --> 01:10:23,360 Speaker 19: I don't think America is actually considering installing a new 1176 01:10:23,400 --> 01:10:26,240 Speaker 19: Iatolia in place. The new leadership has to come from 1177 01:10:26,280 --> 01:10:28,559 Speaker 19: Iranians on the ground, and they're increasingly calling for the 1178 01:10:28,560 --> 01:10:31,400 Speaker 19: conference at least as a transition phase. So the focus 1179 01:10:31,439 --> 01:10:34,040 Speaker 19: is really for us to get to that transition, and 1180 01:10:34,120 --> 01:10:36,280 Speaker 19: after that we're going to see the political dynamics led 1181 01:10:36,320 --> 01:10:38,599 Speaker 19: by the oppositions. Hopefully we're going to see elections very 1182 01:10:38,640 --> 01:10:41,240 Speaker 19: soon for Iranians to decide what kind of governance system 1183 01:10:41,280 --> 01:10:43,080 Speaker 19: they want post regime change. 1184 01:10:43,720 --> 01:10:45,960 Speaker 1: Jonathan, We've got like twenty seconds, but I just want 1185 01:10:46,000 --> 01:10:49,360 Speaker 1: to double check something. I heard that the Iranian public, 1186 01:10:49,400 --> 01:10:52,960 Speaker 1: overall citizens there are more secular than Muslim. Is that true? 1187 01:10:53,240 --> 01:10:56,360 Speaker 1: I understand it's like under forty percent or Muslim. It's 1188 01:10:56,360 --> 01:11:00,240 Speaker 1: mostly more secular. Is that just confirming that? Absolutely? 1189 01:11:00,280 --> 01:11:03,080 Speaker 19: Having grown up there, this is the Middle East largest 1190 01:11:03,120 --> 01:11:06,160 Speaker 19: anti islmist movement. There is a major vacuum there, and 1191 01:11:06,200 --> 01:11:10,040 Speaker 19: of course Iran has the largest growing Christian population because 1192 01:11:10,080 --> 01:11:13,160 Speaker 19: of how much the population is really pivoting away from Islamism, 1193 01:11:13,400 --> 01:11:16,799 Speaker 19: really gravitating towards secularism, at least in a form of government. 1194 01:11:16,880 --> 01:11:18,920 Speaker 19: I mean, if you want to be a practicing Muslim 1195 01:11:18,960 --> 01:11:21,240 Speaker 19: and keep that to the boundaries of your home and 1196 01:11:21,320 --> 01:11:23,320 Speaker 19: not to impose that on others, of course Iran has 1197 01:11:23,360 --> 01:11:26,599 Speaker 19: to welcome that. It's really about differentiating between church and state, 1198 01:11:26,880 --> 01:11:28,320 Speaker 19: like you see here in the United States. 1199 01:11:28,920 --> 01:11:35,200 Speaker 1: Jonathan Sidy, great information. I appreciate the time. Thanks all right, 1200 01:11:35,280 --> 01:11:40,120 Speaker 1: Coming up, banks tightening lending justice, Americans are feeling financial strains. 1201 01:11:40,240 --> 01:11:44,040 Speaker 1: So what does this credit crackdown mean for families that 1202 01:11:44,120 --> 01:11:46,240 Speaker 1: are already drowning in debt? We're going to talk about 1203 01:11:46,240 --> 01:11:46,840 Speaker 1: it after the break. 1204 01:11:46,880 --> 01:12:03,479 Speaker 20: Say what the server? 1205 01:12:04,080 --> 01:12:06,040 Speaker 1: I know this has been a very serious show with 1206 01:12:06,120 --> 01:12:08,400 Speaker 1: the war and everything, but is this from flash Dance? 1207 01:12:08,800 --> 01:12:12,160 Speaker 1: I'm a little confused. Anyhow, it's Washington, d C. All right. 1208 01:12:12,200 --> 01:12:14,360 Speaker 1: That was just the only jovial thing I'll say all show. 1209 01:12:14,400 --> 01:12:17,360 Speaker 1: It's been a serious show. Welcome back everybody to American Sunrise. 1210 01:12:17,479 --> 01:12:20,519 Speaker 1: The Federal Reserve says banks across the country are tightening 1211 01:12:20,560 --> 01:12:24,400 Speaker 1: their lending standards, and for many Americans it's hitting really 1212 01:12:24,439 --> 01:12:27,639 Speaker 1: at the worst possible time.

Yes, I had cancer, I had debt the RS. 1234 01:13:33,720 --> 01:13:36,320 Speaker 21: I had issues with my money manager that I didn't 1235 01:13:36,320 --> 01:13:39,320 Speaker 21: know about. I was a single mom of two and wham, 1236 01:13:39,400 --> 01:13:41,200 Speaker 21: all of this hit me at once. And I was 1237 01:13:41,200 --> 01:13:44,840 Speaker 21: still working in radio and when it hit me, it 1238 01:13:44,920 --> 01:13:48,559 Speaker 21: hit me with a massive jolt, and I just you know, 1239 01:13:48,600 --> 01:13:51,120 Speaker 21: there's so many there are millions of Americans going through this, 1240 01:13:51,200 --> 01:13:53,599 Speaker 21: and I don't care if it's like ten thousand dollars 1241 01:13:53,640 --> 01:13:54,799 Speaker 21: or one hundred thousand dollars. 1242 01:13:55,080 --> 01:13:55,760 Speaker 1: It puts you in. 1243 01:13:55,720 --> 01:13:59,040 Speaker 21: A black hole and you can't think of you just 1244 01:13:59,040 --> 01:14:02,040 Speaker 21: don't think out side of it you're stuck in your thoughts. 1245 01:14:02,520 --> 01:14:05,760 Speaker 21: And what Done with Debt will do is well, they'll 1246 01:14:05,800 --> 01:14:08,080 Speaker 21: do a variety of things. First of all, they'll stop 1247 01:14:08,160 --> 01:14:11,160 Speaker 21: those nasty calls and the letters that you stuff in 1248 01:14:11,200 --> 01:14:13,400 Speaker 21: your glove compartment or that you know you put away, 1249 01:14:13,640 --> 01:14:16,400 Speaker 21: because when you do that, it gets worse and worse 1250 01:14:16,520 --> 01:14:18,720 Speaker 21: and worse because you're just a number on their world debt. 1251 01:14:18,720 --> 01:14:21,240 Speaker 21: So you just keep piling up and piling up those 1252 01:14:21,320 --> 01:14:25,320 Speaker 21: little those infractions and those fees that are getting worse. 1253 01:14:25,680 --> 01:14:28,760 Speaker 21: So everyone says, what, well, what can I do? Number one, 1254 01:14:29,479 --> 01:14:31,720 Speaker 21: don't pay another bill until you go to Done with 1255 01:14:31,760 --> 01:14:34,600 Speaker 21: that dot com because they'll give you a free consultation. 1256 01:14:34,920 --> 01:14:38,320 Speaker 21: And when I say they have masterminds behind them, you'll 1257 01:14:38,320 --> 01:14:43,440 Speaker 21: have your own team. And these people are incredible. They're negotiators. 1258 01:14:43,479 --> 01:14:47,680 Speaker 21: They know exactly who to talk to, what deals are 1259 01:14:47,720 --> 01:14:50,120 Speaker 21: out there, and yes there are deals that they can 1260 01:14:50,160 --> 01:14:53,679 Speaker 21: make with the institutions of banking and credit cards that 1261 01:14:53,880 --> 01:14:57,200 Speaker 21: you know, the average consumer wouldn't know about. I had 1262 01:14:57,360 --> 01:15:00,960 Speaker 21: no idea. So they will put plan in motion for 1263 01:15:01,040 --> 01:15:03,760 Speaker 21: you without going into bankruptcy. They don't want you to 1264 01:15:03,760 --> 01:15:06,519 Speaker 21: go into bankruptcy, and they don't want you to have 1265 01:15:06,600 --> 01:15:10,320 Speaker 21: a big, massive loan. So what they do is get 1266 01:15:10,320 --> 01:15:14,000 Speaker 21: together with their team and their master negotiators and they 1267 01:15:14,360 --> 01:15:17,799 Speaker 21: work for you. And what happens is in about two days, 1268 01:15:17,840 --> 01:15:21,240 Speaker 21: all that stops, the calls, the letters that you get, 1269 01:15:21,280 --> 01:15:23,800 Speaker 21: so you know, freaked out about and you know, for me, 1270 01:15:24,400 --> 01:15:27,679 Speaker 21: it's not something everyone shares. Oh hi, this is happening 1271 01:15:27,760 --> 01:15:30,120 Speaker 21: in my personal life. Even with friends, you don't want 1272 01:15:30,160 --> 01:15:32,760 Speaker 21: to tell them because you know you've reached a certain 1273 01:15:32,800 --> 01:15:36,040 Speaker 21: amount of success in your life financially, and you know 1274 01:15:36,120 --> 01:15:39,559 Speaker 21: with your profession. And by the way, when I've worked 1275 01:15:39,560 --> 01:15:42,599 Speaker 21: on the NFL, I can't tell you how many guys 1276 01:15:42,600 --> 01:15:45,559 Speaker 21: there were that had bad money management. They were making 1277 01:15:45,680 --> 01:15:51,360 Speaker 21: millions of dollars. I've known musicians and actors that put 1278 01:15:51,360 --> 01:15:54,160 Speaker 21: their trust in the wrong people or they're just not managing. 1279 01:15:54,200 --> 01:15:56,400 Speaker 21: And I'm not a type A personality. I'm a Type B. 1280 01:15:56,760 --> 01:15:59,479 Speaker 21: So you know, you've got to stay on top of 1281 01:15:59,560 --> 01:16:02,519 Speaker 21: things and on top of people who know exactly what's 1282 01:16:02,560 --> 01:16:04,519 Speaker 21: going on, and that's what they'll do. They'll help you 1283 01:16:04,560 --> 01:16:07,720 Speaker 21: get back on track to financial freed.

As you can 1309 01:17:34,840 --> 01:17:37,960 Speaker 4: see top to bottom are really only one bright spot, 1310 01:17:38,040 --> 01:17:40,240 Speaker 4: but the major indices, the dow S and P five 1311 01:17:40,320 --> 01:17:43,320 Speaker 4: hundred and the NASDAC not looking so good. 1312 01:17:43,120 --> 01:17:43,719 Speaker 3: At the moment. 1313 01:17:43,840 --> 01:17:46,400 Speaker 4: But all of that can change as that opening bell 1314 01:17:46,960 --> 01:17:49,120 Speaker 4: rings and as trading gets underway.

David, good morning to 1317 01:17:54,720 --> 01:17:57,439 Speaker 4: you what we just saw that shot out that wall? 1318 01:17:57,520 --> 01:18:00,519 Speaker 4: Is it the weeping wall or the whaling wall? What 1319 01:18:00,640 --> 01:18:01,160 Speaker 4: was that wall? 1320 01:18:01,360 --> 01:18:04,360 Speaker 7: It's got the the West West. 1321 01:18:04,400 --> 01:18:07,400 Speaker 1: It's also called okay, it's also called the whaling wall, but. 1322 01:18:07,640 --> 01:18:09,479 Speaker 3: The whaling you know, I wasn't sure. 1323 01:18:09,560 --> 01:18:11,200 Speaker 4: I had it in my mind, but I just couldn't 1324 01:18:11,200 --> 01:18:12,200 Speaker 4: get it all together there. 1325 01:18:12,320 --> 01:18:14,160 Speaker 3: Thank you, David. I knew you would know. You bet. 1326 01:18:14,520 --> 01:18:16,360 Speaker 1: No, it's right there at the Temple Mount, which of 1327 01:18:16,360 --> 01:18:18,759 Speaker 1: course is the apex. I mean, if Jerusalem is the apex, 1328 01:18:18,880 --> 01:18:21,439 Speaker 1: the Temple Mount is the apex of the Apex. So 1329 01:18:21,600 --> 01:18:24,360 Speaker 1: I mean that's where everything is. Uh, Let's be honest. 1330 01:18:24,360 --> 01:18:27,280 Speaker 1: There's a lot of controversy over that specific say, oh, 1331 01:18:27,320 --> 01:18:29,080 Speaker 1: look at that. Well, thank you. Right on cue we 1332 01:18:29,120 --> 01:18:32,120 Speaker 1: get the full temple mount right there. Thank you so much. 1333 01:18:32,360 --> 01:18:34,760 Speaker 1: So someone's listening to me, which is shocking. All right 1334 01:18:34,800 --> 01:18:35,800 Speaker 1: to you, Bates, Thank you, sir. 1335 01:18:36,439 --> 01:18:38,320 Speaker 3: Thanks David. All right. 1336 01:18:38,360 --> 01:18:41,400 Speaker 1: We're continuing to follow combat operations in Iran as the 1337 01:18:41,479 --> 01:18:45,320 Speaker 1: joint operation between the US and Israel continues following the 1338 01:18:45,400 --> 01:18:48,280 Speaker 1: killing of Iran supreme leader. By the way, he's in Hell. 1339 01:18:48,880 --> 01:18:52,000 Speaker 1: The market's already feeling the impact. Joining us now with 1340 01:18:52,040 --> 01:18:54,000 Speaker 1: what you need to know about keeping your hard earned 1341 01:18:54,040 --> 01:18:57,040 Speaker 1: dollars in your wallet where it belongs to the storm 1342 01:18:57,040 --> 01:19:01,120 Speaker 1: Wall Advisor founder Michael will Cherson. Why am I talking 1343 01:19:01,400 --> 01:19:04,400 Speaker 1: just like that? I don't know, Michael. Good to see you, sir. 1344 01:19:04,680 --> 01:19:08,439 Speaker 1: All right. So President Trump says strikes are going to 1345 01:19:08,479 --> 01:19:11,479 Speaker 1: continue throughout the week, probably for weeks. 1346 01:19:11,520 --> 01:19:11,800 Speaker 3: Now. 1347 01:19:12,520 --> 01:19:14,679 Speaker 1: What impact is this going to have on the markets? 1348 01:19:14,720 --> 01:19:16,599 Speaker 1: I was just looking there. I guess we'll find out 1349 01:19:16,640 --> 01:19:19,000 Speaker 1: here in a few moments to see how it starts off. 1350 01:19:19,040 --> 01:19:21,280 Speaker 1: But we're all looking at oil for sure. 1351 01:19:21,600 --> 01:19:22,840 Speaker 7: Michael, David. 1352 01:19:22,880 --> 01:19:24,640 Speaker 22: I think what we can say is that sentiment is 1353 01:19:24,680 --> 01:19:28,200 Speaker 22: shifting from risk on to risk off. That was already happening. 1354 01:19:28,560 --> 01:19:32,000 Speaker 22: The markets were anticipating these moves, which were somewhat telegraphed 1355 01:19:32,000 --> 01:19:34,679 Speaker 22: by President Trump over and the administration over. 1356 01:19:34,560 --> 01:19:35,439 Speaker 3: The last few weeks. 1357 01:19:35,800 --> 01:19:39,280 Speaker 22: We've seen some weakness already this morning in equity markets 1358 01:19:39,640 --> 01:19:40,599 Speaker 22: on that basis. 1359 01:19:40,920 --> 01:19:41,120 Speaker 3: Well. 1360 01:19:41,120 --> 01:19:45,439 Speaker 22: At the same time, traditional safe havens like treasury bonds, 1361 01:19:45,520 --> 01:19:49,639 Speaker 22: like oil in particular, and gold all rising over the weekend. 1362 01:19:50,200 --> 01:19:52,840 Speaker 22: Oil is a little bit different because the concerns stand 1363 01:19:53,240 --> 01:19:56,000 Speaker 22: from global supply and will what's happening in the Middle 1364 01:19:56,040 --> 01:20:01,240 Speaker 22: East disrupt global supply given the impact on Iran itself, 1365 01:20:01,240 --> 01:20:04,519 Speaker 22: but also the neighbors that have been affected by this conflict. 1366 01:20:05,360 --> 01:20:07,679 Speaker 1: Yeah, so let's talk about oil for a second, because 1367 01:20:07,760 --> 01:20:10,480 Speaker 1: we're obviously getting reports that are on is now restricting 1368 01:20:10,880 --> 01:20:14,519 Speaker 1: navigation along the Straight of Horror Moves, and that, of 1369 01:20:14,520 --> 01:20:16,320 Speaker 1: course is one of the world's most critical routes for 1370 01:20:16,360 --> 01:20:20,080 Speaker 1: oil exports. Some are saying this could bring us back 1371 01:20:20,120 --> 01:20:22,920 Speaker 1: to like this nineteen seventy style gas crisis. I know 1372 01:20:22,960 --> 01:20:25,920 Speaker 1: it feels alarmous, but clearly when the Straight of Horror 1373 01:20:25,960 --> 01:20:29,559 Speaker 1: Moves is affected, it's going to affect oil prices. I'm assuming, 1374 01:20:29,880 --> 01:20:30,960 Speaker 1: or do I have that wrong? 1375 01:20:31,800 --> 01:20:33,840 Speaker 22: I think you're right. Generally, now, we're in a very 1376 01:20:33,840 --> 01:20:36,760 Speaker 22: different situation from the nineteen seventies. At that time, the 1377 01:20:36,880 --> 01:20:39,680 Speaker 22: US was a net importer. About sixty percent of our 1378 01:20:39,720 --> 01:20:43,320 Speaker 22: oil came from overseas. OPEC had about In other words, 1379 01:20:43,360 --> 01:20:46,719 Speaker 22: the Middle East producing countries had about a third global share. Today, 1380 01:20:46,960 --> 01:20:49,439 Speaker 22: the US is the world's largest producer and we're a 1381 01:20:49,479 --> 01:20:52,760 Speaker 22: net exporter. And thanks to President Trump and the policies 1382 01:20:52,760 --> 01:20:58,559 Speaker 22: to maintain American energy independence, the situation is very, very different. 1383 01:20:58,680 --> 01:21:02,439 Speaker 22: And the hos of the Middle East has also shifted 1384 01:21:02,520 --> 01:21:04,920 Speaker 22: quite a bit since then. OPIC doesn't have the power 1385 01:21:05,240 --> 01:21:07,400 Speaker 22: that it does, so for a number of reasons, I 1386 01:21:07,439 --> 01:21:09,719 Speaker 22: don't think the analogy is quite the same. Of course, 1387 01:21:09,760 --> 01:21:13,760 Speaker 22: there could be global supply issues. We're in a much 1388 01:21:13,760 --> 01:21:15,960 Speaker 22: stronger position than we were fifty years ago. 1389 01:21:16,760 --> 01:21:18,320 Speaker 1: So we got less than a minute left. But you 1390 01:21:18,360 --> 01:21:20,519 Speaker 1: just said something about a minute ago about or risk 1391 01:21:20,600 --> 01:21:22,800 Speaker 1: on a risk off. Explain that in terms of how 1392 01:21:22,840 --> 01:21:24,920 Speaker 1: that works with the stock market. So risk off is 1393 01:21:24,920 --> 01:21:26,640 Speaker 1: a good thing then, because. 1394 01:21:26,439 --> 01:21:29,920 Speaker 22: Not necessarily so. Risk on means that investors are positive 1395 01:21:30,520 --> 01:21:33,960 Speaker 22: and have a good view, want to put money at risk, 1396 01:21:34,080 --> 01:21:38,360 Speaker 22: want to invest into the market. Risk off means fear 1397 01:21:38,520 --> 01:21:41,360 Speaker 22: is prevailing over greed, at least for the short term, 1398 01:21:41,680 --> 01:21:45,599 Speaker 22: and they're more concerned about capital protection preservation than they 1399 01:21:45,640 --> 01:21:49,200 Speaker 22: are about seeing the next high flying gross stock go up. 1400 01:21:49,280 --> 01:21:51,960 Speaker 22: And so what we're seeing is that shift as this 1401 01:21:52,080 --> 01:21:56,479 Speaker 22: Obviously the conflict with Iran is raising concerns about what 1402 01:21:56,520 --> 01:21:58,639 Speaker 22: it means for oil, what it means for global markets, 1403 01:21:58,920 --> 01:22:02,360 Speaker 22: and you're seeing take a much more conservative position that's 1404 01:22:02,479 --> 01:22:05,680 Speaker 22: likely to persist through the week and indeed through the conflict. 1405 01:22:06,120 --> 01:22:08,920 Speaker 1: Great information, Michael Werkerson. Love having you on. You're the 1406 01:22:09,000 --> 01:22:11,280 Speaker 1: voice of reason, the business voice of reason, the money 1407 01:22:11,360 --> 01:22:13,839 Speaker 1: voice of reason.

AMAC is fighting for the 1414 01:22:30,360 --> 01:22:34,160 Speaker 5: values that you hold, dear and joined today together we 1415 01:22:34,240 --> 01:22:36,480 Speaker 5: can write the course of America. 1416 01:22:38,200 --> 01:22:40,200 Speaker 4: Well less than a minute away from the opening bell 1417 01:22:40,320 --> 01:22:42,200 Speaker 4: on the New York Stock Exchange, I was just setting 1418 01:22:42,400 --> 01:22:45,080 Speaker 4: checking my clock to see how far out we are. 1419 01:22:45,120 --> 01:22:48,959 Speaker 4: You'll hear the applause here momentarily and then we'll count down. 1420 01:22:49,120 --> 01:22:50,240 Speaker 3: For the opening bell. 1421 01:22:50,400 --> 01:22:52,519 Speaker 4: There's the applause right on QUE and the bell is 1422 01:22:52,560 --> 01:22:54,559 Speaker 4: going to bring here in short order, and we'll get 1423 01:22:54,560 --> 01:22:57,679 Speaker 4: an idea of how the markets looking on this first 1424 01:22:57,760 --> 01:23:01,080 Speaker 4: day of trading of the week, particularly given this weekend's 1425 01:23:01,080 --> 01:23:03,519 Speaker 4: attacks on Iran that likely is going to impact the 1426 01:23:03,600 --> 01:23:07,559 Speaker 4: markets a little bit, particularly oil prices. But again we'll 1427 01:23:07,560 --> 01:23:10,080 Speaker 4: get the confirmation here momentarily right. 1428 01:23:09,960 --> 01:23:11,200 Speaker 3: There on QUE. You have it. 1429 01:23:11,240 --> 01:23:14,200 Speaker 4: The markets are now officially open, and here's a quick 1430 01:23:14,240 --> 01:23:16,160 Speaker 4: look at how things are looking to dial s and 1431 01:23:16,200 --> 01:23:19,760 Speaker 4: P five hundred and the Nasdaq are all down a 1432 01:23:19,760 --> 01:23:21,519 Speaker 4: little bit, but there at the bottom, that's what I 1433 01:23:21,560 --> 01:23:24,479 Speaker 4: was alluding to. Oil is up and it's likely going 1434 01:23:24,520 --> 01:23:27,040 Speaker 4: to be up here for a little while, given that 1435 01:23:27,320 --> 01:23:31,599 Speaker 4: Iran is trying to cut off oil exports and oil 1436 01:23:31,680 --> 01:23:34,360 Speaker 4: movement through the Gulf of her moves. We of course 1437 01:23:34,400 --> 01:23:37,320 Speaker 4: will continue to monitor all of that. Also some of 1438 01:23:37,360 --> 01:23:41,719 Speaker 4: the precious metals up as there's uncertainty following the attacks 1439 01:23:41,760 --> 01:23:44,080 Speaker 4: there in Iran, will of course monitor oh that though 1440 01:23:44,080 --> 01:23:45,160 Speaker 4: for you throughout the week. 1441 01:23:45,680 --> 01:23:46,360 Speaker 3: Think about this. 1442 01:23:46,600 --> 01:23:50,080 Speaker 4: In two thousand and six, twenty thousand dollars equaled roughly 1443 01:23:50,360 --> 01:23:54,000 Speaker 4: through roughly thirty three ounces of gold at spot price. 1444 01:23:54,520 --> 01:23:58,240 Speaker 4: At today's prices, those thirty three ounces would be worth 1445 01:23:58,240 --> 01:24:02,959 Speaker 4: about one hundred and sixty five thousand dollars. Smart Americans 1446 01:24:03,000 --> 01:24:06,200 Speaker 4: diversify a portion of their savings into precious metals. And 1447 01:24:06,240 --> 01:24:08,680 Speaker 4: that's why you need to consider buying gold from my 1448 01:24:08,760 --> 01:24:11,759 Speaker 4: friends over at the Birch Gold Group.

President Trump's move to strike Iran and Tapple 1467 01:25:05,360 --> 01:25:09,120 Speaker 4: the Islamist regime is drawing mixed reactions. On Capitol Hill, 1468 01:25:10,280 --> 01:25:14,280 Speaker 4: Representatives Thomas Massey, Rocana and others are demanding a vote 1469 01:25:14,320 --> 01:25:17,559 Speaker 4: to restrain the president. We'll have the details on that 1470 01:25:17,680 --> 01:25:25,479 Speaker 4: after the break. 1471 01:25:26,439 --> 01:25:28,000 Speaker 1: You hear your last good frame. 1472 01:25:28,080 --> 01:25:31,640 Speaker 18: You say a leader, love call effect, change the words 1473 01:25:31,720 --> 01:25:32,840 Speaker 18: dot blame. 1474 01:25:32,760 --> 01:25:36,519 Speaker 23: Say the lad from Real America's music, the label that 1475 01:25:36,560 --> 01:25:39,360 Speaker 23: brought you anthem of the Free, the Boss and Somali 1476 01:25:39,439 --> 01:25:42,280 Speaker 23: Wall comes a brand new anthem built for a distrustful 1477 01:25:42,280 --> 01:25:48,760 Speaker 23: A truth Bomb by the truth Bombers. Bomb talks about 1478 01:25:48,880 --> 01:25:54,480 Speaker 23: distrust of institutions, medium manipulation, shifting government narratives, big tech censorship, 1479 01:25:54,600 --> 01:25:56,879 Speaker 23: cancel culture, and ideological silencing. 1480 01:25:57,080 --> 01:25:59,839 Speaker 24: The culture needs a truth bomb, and this track delivers. 1481 01:26:00,160 --> 01:26:03,120 Speaker 24: Download it now, scan the QR code or search truth 1482 01:26:03,160 --> 01:26:06,559 Speaker 24: Bomb by the Truth Bombers on iTunes. We've broken records before, 1483 01:26:06,760 --> 01:26:08,120 Speaker 24: Let's do it again together. 1484 01:26:32,400 --> 01:26:35,160 Speaker 2: All right, Welcome back to American Sunrise. I'm doctor g. 1485 01:26:35,280 --> 01:26:38,719 Speaker 2: Thanks for joining us. This morning. We invite you to 1486 01:26:38,840 --> 01:26:42,280 Speaker 2: join in our conversation on getter and rumble. It is 1487 01:26:42,320 --> 01:26:45,080 Speaker 2: time now to take the pulse of America. Here's the 1488 01:26:45,080 --> 01:26:48,880 Speaker 2: beat today. Following US and Israeli strikes on a run 1489 01:26:48,960 --> 01:26:52,559 Speaker 2: over the weekend, a growing number of lawmakers now demanding 1490 01:26:52,600 --> 01:26:56,400 Speaker 2: Congress return to Washington to vote on new war power 1491 01:26:56,479 --> 01:27:01,439 Speaker 2: resolutions directly targeting President Trump's ability to take military action. 1492 01:27:02,000 --> 01:27:06,840 Speaker 2: Democrat Roe Conna and Republican Thomas Massey leading the push 1493 01:27:06,840 --> 01:27:11,679 Speaker 2: in the House, while others, including Greg Caesar, are calling 1494 01:27:12,040 --> 01:27:16,400 Speaker 2: Trump's moves illegal and demanding an immediate vote. In a 1495 01:27:16,479 --> 01:27:19,040 Speaker 2: post on Next, Rep. Massey wrote, I am opposed to 1496 01:27:19,080 --> 01:27:23,440 Speaker 2: this war. This is not America First. When Congress reconvenes, 1497 01:27:23,479 --> 01:27:26,360 Speaker 2: I will work with Rep. Rocanna to force a Congressional 1498 01:27:26,479 --> 01:27:30,840 Speaker 2: vote on war with Iram. The Constitution requires a vote 1499 01:27:30,840 --> 01:27:34,360 Speaker 2: in Your representative needs to be on record as opposing 1500 01:27:34,520 --> 01:27:39,040 Speaker 2: or supporting this war. Now, in the Senate, Andy Kim 1501 01:27:39,120 --> 01:27:42,240 Speaker 2: is urging a vote on Tim Kaine's war powers measure, 1502 01:27:42,360 --> 01:27:46,320 Speaker 2: claiming that the current cycle of violence could spiral out 1503 01:27:46,320 --> 01:27:50,040 Speaker 2: of control. Joining US now with analysis rap Chief White 1504 01:27:50,080 --> 01:27:54,800 Speaker 2: House Correspondent Brian Glynn, Brian, Good Morning, Lawming was given 1505 01:27:54,840 --> 01:27:58,680 Speaker 2: a little pushback with the War Powers vote. How will 1506 01:27:58,720 --> 01:27:59,799 Speaker 2: the White House respond? 1507 01:28:00,800 --> 01:28:03,320 Speaker 25: You know, the White House has President Trump has been 1508 01:28:03,360 --> 01:28:06,679 Speaker 25: pretty vocal about his opinion on this War Powers Act, 1509 01:28:06,720 --> 01:28:10,040 Speaker 25: and I do think a vote should take place, and 1510 01:28:10,080 --> 01:28:13,080 Speaker 25: I do think that every elected official should have their 1511 01:28:13,120 --> 01:28:16,760 Speaker 25: opinion on record on whether or not this war was 1512 01:28:17,000 --> 01:28:20,960 Speaker 25: justified or not. Now, if there was to have a vote, 1513 01:28:21,280 --> 01:28:25,400 Speaker 25: we would be midweek, perhaps maybe on Wednesday, and that 1514 01:28:25,600 --> 01:28:29,920 Speaker 25: ultimately would get vetoed by President Trump. But you've got 1515 01:28:30,160 --> 01:28:32,720 Speaker 25: some bipartisan You've got in the Senate, You've got Ram 1516 01:28:32,800 --> 01:28:35,320 Speaker 25: Paul and Tim Kaine, and of course in the House 1517 01:28:35,360 --> 01:28:38,839 Speaker 25: you have Rocanna and Thomas Massey both kind of pushing 1518 01:28:38,920 --> 01:28:43,880 Speaker 25: back on this. But often I've wondered the need for this. Now, 1519 01:28:43,880 --> 01:28:46,760 Speaker 25: there is a forty eight hour notification that they must have, 1520 01:28:46,840 --> 01:28:49,320 Speaker 25: and they did have that, so you did have people 1521 01:28:49,400 --> 01:28:52,439 Speaker 25: in the leadership position get a heads up on this. 1522 01:28:52,840 --> 01:28:55,120 Speaker 25: But I've often wondered, do we give And this is 1523 01:28:55,160 --> 01:28:58,520 Speaker 25: what President Trump has said, is it an unfair advantage 1524 01:28:58,560 --> 01:29:02,240 Speaker 25: to our enemies if we open up this dialogue to 1525 01:29:02,439 --> 01:29:04,960 Speaker 25: Congress and have this on the floor debate. And you 1526 01:29:04,960 --> 01:29:07,200 Speaker 25: know how the media is things are leaked to the media, 1527 01:29:07,400 --> 01:29:09,439 Speaker 25: they get put out, they can put our service members 1528 01:29:09,600 --> 01:29:12,479 Speaker 25: in harm's way. So maybe as far as the element 1529 01:29:12,520 --> 01:29:15,719 Speaker 25: of surprise, Doctor Gina, I think that what the president 1530 01:29:16,520 --> 01:29:20,160 Speaker 25: what he did was best in keeping our military safe 1531 01:29:20,520 --> 01:29:24,400 Speaker 25: rather than taking this to Congress and have them vote 1532 01:29:24,400 --> 01:29:27,200 Speaker 25: on it prior to any kind of preemptive strike. So 1533 01:29:27,560 --> 01:29:30,679 Speaker 25: I think in this particular case, I think it worked. 1534 01:29:31,040 --> 01:29:33,880 Speaker 25: But nevertheless, I do think there needs to be a 1535 01:29:33,960 --> 01:29:36,280 Speaker 25: vote on this and let everyone be on the record 1536 01:29:36,560 --> 01:29:39,080 Speaker 25: if they were for these strikes against AARAN. 1537 01:29:39,920 --> 01:29:42,080 Speaker 2: Yeah, we've all been overseas or at least some of 1538 01:29:42,160 --> 01:29:44,920 Speaker 2: us have who work in this industry and seeing how 1539 01:29:44,920 --> 01:29:48,559 Speaker 2: they'll pull a clip from a specific congress member or 1540 01:29:48,600 --> 01:29:52,840 Speaker 2: something and act like that's the official line of the 1541 01:29:52,880 --> 01:29:57,680 Speaker 2: American people, and so it does. It is sort of 1542 01:29:57,720 --> 01:30:01,240 Speaker 2: a straddle, isn't it. Brian? How will this impact the 1543 01:30:01,520 --> 01:30:03,680 Speaker 2: mid terms? If it goes one way, it goes the 1544 01:30:03,760 --> 01:30:07,360 Speaker 2: other way? What are your predictions there? President Trump need 1545 01:30:07,400 --> 01:30:08,880 Speaker 2: to be cognizant of right now. 1546 01:30:09,080 --> 01:30:11,479 Speaker 25: He needs to be careful that just doesn't spread into 1547 01:30:11,560 --> 01:30:15,280 Speaker 25: a regional conflict, which it already has with the Gulf stage. Now, 1548 01:30:15,640 --> 01:30:18,839 Speaker 25: if this was to get messy and go on longer 1549 01:30:18,880 --> 01:30:22,439 Speaker 25: than four weeks, go in to April, perhaps even May, 1550 01:30:22,800 --> 01:30:26,640 Speaker 25: and perhaps if we're see any type of domestic retaliation 1551 01:30:26,840 --> 01:30:29,240 Speaker 25: for this, like we saw in Austin. I don't think 1552 01:30:29,280 --> 01:30:33,080 Speaker 25: this helps Republicans at all, because this would be viewed 1553 01:30:33,200 --> 01:30:38,120 Speaker 25: as getting the US involved in another long time war. 1554 01:30:38,160 --> 01:30:42,120 Speaker 25: And even though it's started on March first, if we're 1555 01:30:42,200 --> 01:30:45,200 Speaker 25: voting on November and it's there's still some type of 1556 01:30:45,360 --> 01:30:50,760 Speaker 25: escalation in the public eyes of the public opinion, they 1557 01:30:50,880 --> 01:30:53,599 Speaker 25: seem that is a long term. So I don't think 1558 01:30:53,600 --> 01:30:54,720 Speaker 25: it helps Republicans. 1559 01:30:54,720 --> 01:30:54,920 Speaker 3: Now. 1560 01:30:55,280 --> 01:30:58,920 Speaker 25: On the flip side, let's just say sixty days from now, 1561 01:30:59,120 --> 01:31:02,680 Speaker 25: this thing is peace. We've got Iranian people somewhat in 1562 01:31:02,800 --> 01:31:04,960 Speaker 25: control of their government. You see some type of new 1563 01:31:05,080 --> 01:31:08,120 Speaker 25: leadership come out. It does come off as a victory, 1564 01:31:08,120 --> 01:31:11,599 Speaker 25: but we're in a very dicey territory right now, doctor Gina. 1565 01:31:12,439 --> 01:31:15,799 Speaker 2: Yeah, And the psychology of the American people is really 1566 01:31:15,840 --> 01:31:18,040 Speaker 2: going to be fascinating to watch. I feel like this 1567 01:31:18,160 --> 01:31:21,439 Speaker 2: time around, for some reason, maybe more than other times 1568 01:31:21,439 --> 01:31:24,720 Speaker 2: in our political history. Brian Glynn always interesting to get 1569 01:31:24,720 --> 01:31:25,840 Speaker 2: your inside a perspective. 1570 01:31:25,840 --> 01:31:27,720 Speaker 3: Thank you, thank you, thank you. 1571 01:31:27,760 --> 01:31:31,360 Speaker 2: Gets on over to David Brody Debro. 1572 01:31:32,120 --> 01:31:36,360 Speaker 1: Hello, thank you, I appreciate it. Hello, welcome, Well, thank 1573 01:31:36,400 --> 01:31:38,320 Speaker 1: you for inviting me to the show. I appreciate it 1574 01:31:38,800 --> 01:31:42,599 Speaker 1: all right. Newly released internal memos are raising serious questions 1575 01:31:42,640 --> 01:31:45,360 Speaker 1: about just how involved the Biden administration may have been 1576 01:31:45,400 --> 01:31:49,639 Speaker 1: in helping Georgia prosecutor Fanie Willis build her case against 1577 01:31:49,640 --> 01:31:53,000 Speaker 1: President Donald Trump. So there are these documents obtained by 1578 01:31:53,160 --> 01:31:56,559 Speaker 1: Just the News, of course, Just the News and also 1579 01:31:56,600 --> 01:32:01,880 Speaker 1: America First Legal revealing waived executive privilege, millions in federal 1580 01:32:01,920 --> 01:32:06,360 Speaker 1: funding and direct coordination with Washington officials. Well, joining us 1581 01:32:06,360 --> 01:32:08,799 Speaker 1: now with Moore is a guy that can directly address 1582 01:32:08,840 --> 01:32:11,200 Speaker 1: this for sure. That would be Georgia State Senator and 1583 01:32:11,240 --> 01:32:16,560 Speaker 1: congressional candidate Coulton Moore. Colton, Fannie Willis the gift that 1584 01:32:16,640 --> 01:32:19,559 Speaker 1: keeps on giving, and along with the Biden administration, tell 1585 01:32:19,640 --> 01:32:24,440 Speaker 1: us more about this devious plot if you will. 1586 01:32:24,479 --> 01:32:27,680 Speaker 26: You know, it's it's just the latest, and give it 1587 01:32:27,720 --> 01:32:29,920 Speaker 26: two more weeks, maybe a month, and there's going to 1588 01:32:30,000 --> 01:32:33,679 Speaker 26: be some more revelations as well. I mean, it doesn't 1589 01:32:33,720 --> 01:32:36,040 Speaker 26: take but about every six months, and we find out 1590 01:32:36,080 --> 01:32:39,160 Speaker 26: some more things that Fannie Willis has done. Right, just 1591 01:32:39,200 --> 01:32:41,720 Speaker 26: in November, we learned that she had a secret bank 1592 01:32:41,760 --> 01:32:44,720 Speaker 26: accounts that no one knew how they were funded. We 1593 01:32:44,800 --> 01:32:47,439 Speaker 26: knew that she increased her profile by the tune of 1594 01:32:47,479 --> 01:32:50,360 Speaker 26: about six hundred million dollars, you know, and if you 1595 01:32:50,400 --> 01:32:53,000 Speaker 26: go back from the very get go, we still haven't 1596 01:32:53,000 --> 01:32:56,400 Speaker 26: answered the question why did she release the indictment before 1597 01:32:56,400 --> 01:32:59,160 Speaker 26: the grand jury ever concluded. So we're just going to 1598 01:32:59,280 --> 01:33:01,920 Speaker 26: keep stacking up all of these problems. But when is 1599 01:33:02,000 --> 01:33:06,680 Speaker 26: someone gonna have the courage to prosecute Fannie Willis. I mean, 1600 01:33:06,720 --> 01:33:09,400 Speaker 26: the crimes keep stacking on top of one another, everything 1601 01:33:09,439 --> 01:33:12,639 Speaker 26: from Nathan Wade just to hell she handled the case 1602 01:33:12,680 --> 01:33:16,320 Speaker 26: to begin with. I mean, she is the true rico here. 1603 01:33:16,640 --> 01:33:19,519 Speaker 26: She's always pushed that on Trump and the eighteen others, 1604 01:33:19,520 --> 01:33:22,639 Speaker 26: as if they're running a mafioso scheme. But it's becoming 1605 01:33:22,760 --> 01:33:26,160 Speaker 26: clearer and clearer that she and the Biden White House 1606 01:33:26,240 --> 01:33:27,200 Speaker 26: were running the rico. 1607 01:33:28,840 --> 01:33:31,800 Speaker 4: So what you're describing leads to the next question, Because 1608 01:33:31,800 --> 01:33:34,080 Speaker 4: several of your colleagues there in the Georgia State Senate 1609 01:33:34,320 --> 01:33:37,880 Speaker 4: are pushing to use grand juries to investigate election in 1610 01:33:37,960 --> 01:33:41,320 Speaker 4: voting crimes. One could argue that this what happened there 1611 01:33:41,360 --> 01:33:44,600 Speaker 4: in Fulton County was an election crime. As part of 1612 01:33:44,640 --> 01:33:49,080 Speaker 4: this resolution, there's also a move to introduce new criteria 1613 01:33:49,360 --> 01:33:52,960 Speaker 4: for punishing and removing district attorneys in that state. Again 1614 01:33:53,200 --> 01:33:56,200 Speaker 4: fingers pointing back towards Fannie Willis, I think flesh this 1615 01:33:56,320 --> 01:33:58,080 Speaker 4: out for us who aren't there in Georgia. 1616 01:33:59,120 --> 01:34:01,320 Speaker 26: Yeah, I mean, I don't think anybody has a problem 1617 01:34:01,360 --> 01:34:04,400 Speaker 26: with creating the avenue of grand jury's. I think that's 1618 01:34:04,439 --> 01:34:07,040 Speaker 26: a foundational part of the United States is having the 1619 01:34:07,080 --> 01:34:10,320 Speaker 26: ability to have a grand jury. Remember it was Fannie 1620 01:34:10,320 --> 01:34:14,240 Speaker 26: Willis originally using this investigative grand jury over a regular 1621 01:34:14,280 --> 01:34:17,920 Speaker 26: grand jury, which got this indictment to start with. I 1622 01:34:17,920 --> 01:34:21,080 Speaker 26: think grand juries obviously should have more power. But what 1623 01:34:21,160 --> 01:34:25,120 Speaker 26: they're also trying to do is create an illusion that 1624 01:34:25,200 --> 01:34:28,200 Speaker 26: the attorney general of this state doesn't have the ability 1625 01:34:28,240 --> 01:34:30,960 Speaker 26: to go after road district attorneys. I mean, there were 1626 01:34:31,080 --> 01:34:36,320 Speaker 26: multiple district attorneys who were investigated and even arrested during 1627 01:34:36,840 --> 01:34:40,040 Speaker 26: this whole debacle with Fannie Willis, But Fannie Willis wasn't 1628 01:34:40,160 --> 01:34:44,080 Speaker 26: arrested and investigated. So just to continue to point the 1629 01:34:44,160 --> 01:34:46,599 Speaker 26: finger and say we need to pass more law, that's 1630 01:34:46,680 --> 01:34:50,200 Speaker 26: absolutely ridiculous. Law is no good if it's not going 1631 01:34:50,240 --> 01:34:52,200 Speaker 26: to be enforced. We have a lot of laws already 1632 01:34:52,240 --> 01:34:54,080 Speaker 26: in the books. They need to be enforced. 1633 01:34:55,520 --> 01:34:58,639 Speaker 1: Colton, we want to ask you about Iran. Obviously, many 1634 01:34:58,640 --> 01:35:01,920 Speaker 1: on the right are claim I mean, they've been betrayed 1635 01:35:01,960 --> 01:35:04,280 Speaker 1: by the administration. I know that sounds vague. Many on 1636 01:35:04,320 --> 01:35:07,280 Speaker 1: the right. You know, there's a contingent of MAGA that 1637 01:35:07,360 --> 01:35:09,960 Speaker 1: believes that. Tucker Carlson has called the ear strikes on 1638 01:35:10,080 --> 01:35:14,960 Speaker 1: the Islamis regime disgusting and evil. You've got MTG, former congresswoman, 1639 01:35:15,600 --> 01:35:18,759 Speaker 1: has echoed some similar comments. Where where do you stand 1640 01:35:18,800 --> 01:35:19,000 Speaker 1: on this? 1641 01:35:20,240 --> 01:35:22,519 Speaker 26: You know, I really haven't made much of a public 1642 01:35:22,560 --> 01:35:27,719 Speaker 26: appearance or statement about this. On Sunday, my pastor, who's 1643 01:35:27,800 --> 01:35:30,880 Speaker 26: got the you know, the Israel flag right out in 1644 01:35:30,920 --> 01:35:33,720 Speaker 26: front of the church even he said, you know, I'm 1645 01:35:33,760 --> 01:35:35,800 Speaker 26: not going to make a statement on this until we 1646 01:35:35,840 --> 01:35:37,639 Speaker 26: see how this shakes out a little bit. I mean, 1647 01:35:37,640 --> 01:35:41,640 Speaker 26: we just learned that F fifteen's were shot down with 1648 01:35:42,000 --> 01:35:46,120 Speaker 26: over Kuwait, with federal or with friendly fire. You know, 1649 01:35:46,160 --> 01:35:49,759 Speaker 26: we've already lost Americans, David. I just continue to pray 1650 01:35:49,840 --> 01:35:54,440 Speaker 26: that innocent lives are not lost, that American lives are protected, 1651 01:35:54,880 --> 01:35:58,320 Speaker 26: and ultimately that this evil in Iran is finally, once 1652 01:35:58,360 --> 01:36:01,840 Speaker 26: and for all destroyed. I mean, I can remember even 1653 01:36:01,880 --> 01:36:05,280 Speaker 26: in high school listening to Net and Yahoo say Iran 1654 01:36:05,479 --> 01:36:08,519 Speaker 26: is just days or weeks away from nuclear weapons, and 1655 01:36:08,560 --> 01:36:11,479 Speaker 26: I'm tired of that talking point. So I hope President 1656 01:36:11,520 --> 01:36:16,200 Speaker 26: Trump wipes this out very quickly, because ultimately, I think 1657 01:36:16,280 --> 01:36:18,880 Speaker 26: Congress does have the ability to come in and vote 1658 01:36:18,920 --> 01:36:21,360 Speaker 26: to shut it all down. So I hope this happens 1659 01:36:21,479 --> 01:36:23,800 Speaker 26: very quickly and this doesn't turn into a drawn out 1660 01:36:23,840 --> 01:36:27,599 Speaker 26: war because remember my generation was very young when we 1661 01:36:27,680 --> 01:36:31,040 Speaker 26: saw all of you know, Operation Iraqi Freedom, and then 1662 01:36:31,120 --> 01:36:34,000 Speaker 26: ultimately it just created you know, three or four more 1663 01:36:34,040 --> 01:36:36,880 Speaker 26: heads of evil after the regime was toppled, and I 1664 01:36:36,880 --> 01:36:37,960 Speaker 26: hope that doesn't happen here. 1665 01:36:38,280 --> 01:36:40,920 Speaker 1: Oh, just so I understand. So basically you're standing, you're 1666 01:36:40,960 --> 01:36:43,880 Speaker 1: running for Congress, obviously, and the special election is next week. 1667 01:36:44,040 --> 01:36:46,479 Speaker 1: So so just so I understand what you're saying. You're 1668 01:36:46,520 --> 01:36:49,640 Speaker 1: seeing the jury still out and you are not necessarily 1669 01:36:49,680 --> 01:36:53,160 Speaker 1: supporting the strike right now, You're you're taking away and 1670 01:36:53,200 --> 01:36:54,880 Speaker 1: see that's what you're saying. 1671 01:36:55,240 --> 01:36:56,439 Speaker 3: I'm supporting the strike. 1672 01:36:56,520 --> 01:36:58,559 Speaker 26: What I'm saying is I want this thing to be 1673 01:36:58,640 --> 01:37:01,280 Speaker 26: taken care of and not become a drawn out war, 1674 01:37:01,320 --> 01:37:03,880 Speaker 26: because if it is a drawn out war, that's where 1675 01:37:03,920 --> 01:37:06,200 Speaker 26: I'm going to be changing my ways. And I'm gonna say, 1676 01:37:06,200 --> 01:37:08,360 Speaker 26: we need to shut this thing down before it becomes 1677 01:37:08,439 --> 01:37:09,960 Speaker 26: a Middle East debacle. 1678 01:37:10,840 --> 01:37:11,040 Speaker 22: You know. 1679 01:37:11,160 --> 01:37:13,360 Speaker 26: Right now, I think we've got the upper hand, We've 1680 01:37:13,400 --> 01:37:16,600 Speaker 26: taken out home many, but you know, what is it 1681 01:37:16,680 --> 01:37:18,679 Speaker 26: going to turn into in the next three or four weeks? 1682 01:37:18,680 --> 01:37:20,800 Speaker 26: And I think the jury is still out on that. 1683 01:37:20,800 --> 01:37:22,920 Speaker 1: That's fair, that's fair. Hope more. Great to have you, 1684 01:37:23,160 --> 01:37:24,080 Speaker 1: Great to have you as always. 1685 01:37:24,520 --> 01:37:26,320 Speaker 3: Thanks, thank you, gentlemen.

As you said, this movement of the candidate 1809 01:44:43,400 --> 01:44:47,719 Speaker 30: for governor, Baron Donalds is really interesting because he wants 1810 01:44:47,760 --> 01:44:51,400 Speaker 30: to attract the Hispanic Boulder. You know, the Democrats are 1811 01:44:51,479 --> 01:44:56,240 Speaker 30: always talking about that President Trump, Baron donald hates illegals, 1812 01:44:56,400 --> 01:44:59,200 Speaker 30: hates immigrants, and that's not true. 1813 01:44:59,320 --> 01:44:59,519 Speaker 9: You know. 1814 01:45:00,040 --> 01:45:01,599 Speaker 1: Bidon Donalds wants to. 1815 01:45:01,520 --> 01:45:05,200 Speaker 30: Make this meet angreeing to explain the Spanic community that 1816 01:45:05,280 --> 01:45:08,559 Speaker 30: he wants to make law and order in Florida State, 1817 01:45:09,080 --> 01:45:13,080 Speaker 30: like illegal alience has to be deported, but legal immigrants 1818 01:45:13,120 --> 01:45:16,920 Speaker 30: like we can have here, like human people from Venezuela. 1819 01:45:17,120 --> 01:45:19,880 Speaker 30: We have in Panadas, really interesting people that they want 1820 01:45:19,920 --> 01:45:22,479 Speaker 30: to meet in person. Bidon Donnald, who is very close 1821 01:45:22,520 --> 01:45:25,280 Speaker 30: to this is Spanic community. He's running all over the 1822 01:45:25,360 --> 01:45:28,120 Speaker 30: state like going to a farm, say going. 1823 01:45:28,120 --> 01:45:31,920 Speaker 2: And this is this is interesting work. Because this is 1824 01:45:31,960 --> 01:45:35,559 Speaker 2: a primary. He still has a primary to win. So 1825 01:45:35,680 --> 01:45:38,000 Speaker 2: that tells me because normally you would see something like this. 1826 01:45:38,120 --> 01:45:40,479 Speaker 2: I'm just going to say it in a general election. 1827 01:45:41,280 --> 01:45:44,719 Speaker 2: So this might have two reasons that Byron Donalds would 1828 01:45:44,720 --> 01:45:47,479 Speaker 2: be doing this. One might be because he believes there 1829 01:45:47,520 --> 01:45:51,320 Speaker 2: are enough Hispanics voting in the Republican primary for this 1830 01:45:51,439 --> 01:45:55,040 Speaker 2: have impact but two to sort of be presumptive and 1831 01:45:55,120 --> 01:45:58,400 Speaker 2: saying I'm going to be the general nominee. But there 1832 01:45:58,479 --> 01:46:00,759 Speaker 2: is a primary. How many folks are in that primary? 1833 01:46:00,760 --> 01:46:02,960 Speaker 2: Because I'm hearing more about it than I thought I would. 1834 01:46:05,240 --> 01:46:08,519 Speaker 30: Yeah, it's around one hundred people. It's so loud that 1835 01:46:08,880 --> 01:46:11,280 Speaker 30: the entrance, you know, a lot of people wanted to come, 1836 01:46:11,479 --> 01:46:14,080 Speaker 30: but it's really important the moment, you know, because the 1837 01:46:14,200 --> 01:46:17,599 Speaker 30: ice operation is true. That in Doral, in in little Labana, 1838 01:46:17,640 --> 01:46:20,880 Speaker 30: in this neighborhood with a community, some of them are 1839 01:46:21,240 --> 01:46:23,439 Speaker 30: like scared because they are watching the. 1840 01:46:23,600 --> 01:46:25,880 Speaker 2: News of the year.
