WEBVTT - No Endless War: A New Middle East? 0:00:00.000 --> 0:00:02.640 All right, News Round Up, Information Overload hour here on 0:00:02.680 --> 0:00:04.760 the Sean Hannity Show, Toll free. It's eight hundred and 0:00:04.800 --> 0:00:06.280 nine point one, Shawn, if you want to be a 0:00:06.320 --> 0:00:09.920 part of the program. In spite of just what has 0:00:10.000 --> 0:00:15.720 been spectacular success in this joint mission with the United States, 0:00:15.760 --> 0:00:18.520 Donald Trump and the Prime Minister of Israel will play 0:00:18.520 --> 0:00:20.880 part of my interview with bb net Yahoo coming up. 0:00:22.120 --> 0:00:25.640 The Democrats, but remember, the one thing they can have 0:00:26.400 --> 0:00:30.040 is for Donald Trump to be successful, so they have 0:00:30.120 --> 0:00:34.320 to cheer for American failure. They don't want the economy 0:00:34.400 --> 0:00:37.320 to recover the way it's recovering, and they're hoping it 0:00:37.360 --> 0:00:42.519 doesn't recover anymore. It's a horrible position for anybody to 0:00:42.520 --> 0:00:45.479 be in, but it is what it is. And in 0:00:45.680 --> 0:00:49.040 the case of this effort, you know, to prevent the 0:00:49.080 --> 0:00:52.560 Iranians from getting a nuclear weapon to hold the world hostage, 0:00:53.000 --> 0:00:56.440 here's a team Jeffries, he is the minority leader in 0:00:56.520 --> 0:00:59.760 name only, appealing to the radical based squad. 0:01:00.400 --> 0:01:02.200 You know this is going to be a failure. It'll 0:01:02.320 --> 0:01:03.040 end in failure. 0:01:03.120 --> 0:01:06.520 Listen, the American people want us to focus on making 0:01:06.560 --> 0:01:09.800 their life better, making their life more affordable, not getting 0:01:09.800 --> 0:01:12.760 involved in another endless war in the Middle East that 0:01:12.959 --> 0:01:15.119 is going to end in failure. 0:01:15.800 --> 0:01:18.800 Now, this affordability thing is not working out too well 0:01:18.880 --> 0:01:23.080 for the Democrats. As interest rates are down, inflation is down, 0:01:23.160 --> 0:01:26.120 gas prices have been down. They may go up temporarily 0:01:26.200 --> 0:01:29.119 a little bit because of the disruption of the free 0:01:29.120 --> 0:01:31.559 flow of oil at market prices, but that will change 0:01:31.640 --> 0:01:36.240 rather quickly. But you know, on every measure, job creation, 0:01:36.400 --> 0:01:41.080 everything in between, and trillions and new investments in manufacturing. 0:01:41.240 --> 0:01:43.240 Now things are getting a lot better, but not that 0:01:43.319 --> 0:01:46.880 he wants us to or or is cheering for American success. 0:01:47.400 --> 0:01:51.680 Over on that hard hitting news show, the view Sunny 0:01:51.720 --> 0:01:55.200 Houstin is out there saying Iran war is an illegal, 0:01:55.360 --> 0:01:57.040 un constitutional war. 0:01:57.600 --> 0:01:59.600 No it's not. But listen, I'm gonna say. You know, 0:01:59.800 --> 0:02:02.280 the bottom line is that this is an illegal war. 0:02:02.400 --> 0:02:03.840 This is an unconstitutional war. 0:02:04.200 --> 0:02:08.280 Only Congress can wait war in the war presidential war. Now, 0:02:08.360 --> 0:02:11.480 let's just take a trip down memory lane, and when 0:02:11.600 --> 0:02:16.120 Barack Obama and Joe Biden were involved in conflicts around 0:02:16.120 --> 0:02:19.119 the world, not one Democrat ever called for the War 0:02:19.240 --> 0:02:22.320 Powers Act. That they just they don't want Donald Trump 0:02:22.400 --> 0:02:25.760 to be successful. Here's Nancy Pelosi saying, oh, there's no 0:02:25.800 --> 0:02:26.239 need for this. 0:02:27.440 --> 0:02:29.080 Let me speaking a madam leader. 0:02:29.120 --> 0:02:33.880 You're saying that the president did not need authorization initially 0:02:34.040 --> 0:02:35.359 and still does not need. 0:02:35.160 --> 0:02:38.200 Any authorization from Congress one Libya. 0:02:38.680 --> 0:02:42.080 Yes, yes, of course, only Donald Trump does because we 0:02:42.160 --> 0:02:45.520 hate him, we don't like him. John Brennan. I've been 0:02:45.520 --> 0:02:49.200 hearing from sources now for weeks on end that he 0:02:49.320 --> 0:02:52.679 may be on the verge of some indictment. We'll see 0:02:52.680 --> 0:02:56.400 if in fact my sources end up being correct. Him 0:02:56.440 --> 0:03:00.520 out there attacking the Trump administration saying that they're making 0:03:00.560 --> 0:03:04.960 things up to justify the Iranian attack. They're not making 0:03:05.040 --> 0:03:09.600 things up. They are looking at the stark reality is 0:03:09.600 --> 0:03:12.560 that the Iranians, and you can actually see satellite imaging 0:03:12.600 --> 0:03:19.680 that proves it. We're reconstituting their ballistic missiles program and 0:03:19.720 --> 0:03:22.920 then nuclear program, as evidence by the interview that I 0:03:23.000 --> 0:03:25.920 had with Steve Wikoff, the Middle East envoy involved in 0:03:25.960 --> 0:03:29.840 the negotiations. But doesn't stop John Brennan from just being 0:03:29.880 --> 0:03:32.519 the wire propagandas that I think he's always been. 0:03:32.960 --> 0:03:35.760 Now we're going ahead and carrying out this major attack 0:03:35.920 --> 0:03:39.640 against a very large country, Iran, which is much larger 0:03:39.640 --> 0:03:42.960 than Iraq, and there's a lot of history here obviously, 0:03:43.000 --> 0:03:46.000 in the region and so on. But what we've seen 0:03:46.040 --> 0:03:49.240 in the past several days is devastating attacks against Iran 0:03:49.680 --> 0:03:52.800 and the Iranian government. The Iranian regime is not relenting 0:03:52.920 --> 0:03:56.160 this point, and that's why they're throwing everything they have 0:03:56.920 --> 0:03:59.440 at nearby targets, whether it be us Basis or the 0:03:59.440 --> 0:04:04.360 Goldferrips whatever. This is such a tragic, tragic, senseless and 0:04:04.560 --> 0:04:08.200 needless loss of life that we're seeing right now. As 0:04:08.280 --> 0:04:11.600 Senator mar Warter said, there was no imminent threat. Clearly, 0:04:11.680 --> 0:04:14.160 I think the administration is now making things up in 0:04:14.240 --> 0:04:14.920 order to try to. 0:04:15.000 --> 0:04:16.080 Justify what's happening. 0:04:16.760 --> 0:04:21.080 Okay, you know, just ignore all all sense of reality 0:04:21.160 --> 0:04:24.919 and truth. And by the way, they're not relenting. No, 0:04:25.080 --> 0:04:29.000 they're dead, you idiot. I mean, how stupid can you be? 0:04:29.800 --> 0:04:33.240 Marco Rubio responds to all of this and slamming the 0:04:33.360 --> 0:04:37.960 media for questioning the reasons for this operation in Iran. 0:04:38.360 --> 0:04:38.919 I haven't got a. 0:04:38.960 --> 0:04:41.800 Chance to see a lot of reporting. I don't understand 0:04:41.839 --> 0:04:44.000 what the confusion is. Let me explain it to you, 0:04:44.080 --> 0:04:46.120 and I'll do it once again as clearly as possible. 0:04:46.120 --> 0:04:47.400 Perhaps you'll report it that way. 0:04:48.080 --> 0:04:50.760 The United States is conducting an operation to eliminate the 0:04:50.800 --> 0:04:54.800 threat of Iran's short range ballistic missiles and the threat 0:04:54.880 --> 0:04:58.200 caused by their navy. It's particularly to enable assets. That 0:04:58.320 --> 0:05:00.080 is what it is focused on doing right now, and 0:05:00.080 --> 0:05:01.360 it's doing quite successfully. 0:05:01.360 --> 0:05:03.200 I'll leave it to the Pentagon. 0:05:03.040 --> 0:05:05.560 And the Department of Ward discussed the tactics behind that 0:05:05.640 --> 0:05:07.839 in the progress that's being made. That is the clear 0:05:07.880 --> 0:05:10.839 objective of this mission. The second question they've been asked 0:05:10.920 --> 0:05:13.360 is why now. Well, if there's two reasons, why now. 0:05:13.640 --> 0:05:16.200 The first is it was abundantly clear that if Iran 0:05:16.320 --> 0:05:19.599 came under attack by anyone, the United States or Israel 0:05:19.640 --> 0:05:22.320 or anyone, they were going to respond and respond against 0:05:22.320 --> 0:05:23.000 the United States. 0:05:23.080 --> 0:05:24.159 The orders had. 0:05:24.040 --> 0:05:27.120 Been delegated down to the field commanders. It was automatic, 0:05:27.120 --> 0:05:29.239 and in fact it bare to be true because, in fact, 0:05:30.080 --> 0:05:34.680 within an hour of the initial attack on the Leadership Compound, 0:05:35.240 --> 0:05:38.040 the missile forces in the South and in the North 0:05:38.040 --> 0:05:40.760 for that matter, had already been activated to launch, in fact, 0:05:41.160 --> 0:05:44.280 those that already been prepositioned. The third is the assessment 0:05:44.320 --> 0:05:46.839 that was made that if we stood and waited for 0:05:46.880 --> 0:05:50.040 that attack to come first before we hit them, we 0:05:50.080 --> 0:05:53.560 would suffer much higher casualties, and so the President made 0:05:53.560 --> 0:05:56.120 the very wise decision. We knew that there was going 0:05:56.160 --> 0:05:58.320 to be an Israeli action, We knew that that would 0:05:58.320 --> 0:06:01.480 precipitate an attack against America forces, and we knew that 0:06:01.520 --> 0:06:04.040 if we didn't preemptibly go after them before they launched 0:06:04.040 --> 0:06:07.800 those attacks, we would suffer higher casualties and perhaps even 0:06:07.960 --> 0:06:09.920 highre those killed, and then we would all be here 0:06:09.960 --> 0:06:12.039 answering questions about why we knew that and didn't. 0:06:13.240 --> 0:06:15.840 I mean, Marco is just a rock star. He's killing it, 0:06:15.960 --> 0:06:19.080 he's crushing it anyway, joining us now. Jack Carr, retired 0:06:19.200 --> 0:06:21.800 Navy seal, author of the upcoming book out in May, 0:06:21.839 --> 0:06:26.320 The Fourth Option, gives his military analysis of what's happening. 0:06:27.640 --> 0:06:32.480 I think the opening thirty seconds that we saw and witnessed, 0:06:32.600 --> 0:06:37.560 and the entire they decapitated the head of the leadership 0:06:37.600 --> 0:06:41.120 in Iran, I think was something that you know, will 0:06:41.120 --> 0:06:43.880 be studied, as I said to Steve Wikkoff, for decades 0:06:43.920 --> 0:06:47.200 and probably the next hundred and fifty two hundred years. 0:06:47.240 --> 0:06:50.800 I said that to BB two. And I'm looking at 0:06:50.839 --> 0:06:52.560 all of this, and I'm looking at the other news 0:06:52.560 --> 0:06:55.880 of the day, and it's like Okay, So now the 0:06:55.920 --> 0:06:59.200 remaining Iranian leaders meet to pick a new leader, and 0:06:59.279 --> 0:07:01.240 all of those people were taken out today. 0:07:01.400 --> 0:07:03.560 I've never seen anything like this in my life. 0:07:03.760 --> 0:07:07.720 Yeah, it's quite remarkable. It just speaks to obviously our 0:07:07.839 --> 0:07:12.480 intelligence services, the level of penetration we have within the 0:07:12.520 --> 0:07:15.760 regime or former regime at this point. So it is 0:07:15.840 --> 0:07:18.720 quite remarkable and will be studied, as you said, for 0:07:19.080 --> 0:07:21.760 decades here to come. But the whole attack really is 0:07:21.920 --> 0:07:25.240 a long time coming in my opinion here and I 0:07:25.280 --> 0:07:26.960 mean I'm of the age where are Some of my 0:07:27.000 --> 0:07:30.320 first memories are of the nineteen seventy nine hostage crisis. 0:07:30.440 --> 0:07:32.640 I was in Catholic school at the time. They marched 0:07:32.720 --> 0:07:34.840 us all to Chapel and we prayed for the hostages. 0:07:35.520 --> 0:07:38.200 And then of course the Marine Corps headquarters in Barracks 0:07:38.200 --> 0:07:40.960 bombing in nineteen eighty three. That was very impactful to 0:07:41.040 --> 0:07:43.240 a kid who's I'm already on my path into the military. 0:07:43.280 --> 0:07:45.720 And I see this on Time and newsweek and all 0:07:45.760 --> 0:07:47.920 over the news, and I even wrote my first nonfiction 0:07:47.960 --> 0:07:51.040 book about it, it's called Targeted. But for a lot 0:07:51.040 --> 0:07:54.480 of us who served in Iraq and Afghanistan, we're understandably, 0:07:54.520 --> 0:07:57.640 I think skeptical when we hear words like regime change WMD, 0:07:58.000 --> 0:08:01.280 just with the wounds and memories and lessons being so fresh. 0:08:01.280 --> 0:08:05.160 But that being said, Iraq and Iran comparison that everyone's making, 0:08:05.240 --> 0:08:08.960 it's not apples to apples. Every situation obviously is different 0:08:09.000 --> 0:08:11.160 and requires that you adapt to it, especially in the 0:08:11.160 --> 0:08:13.480 middle of combat operations where the enemy always gets the vote, 0:08:13.520 --> 0:08:16.760 situations chaotic, dynamic, there's a host of variables that you 0:08:16.760 --> 0:08:20.240 can't predict, and there will of course be unintended consequences. 0:08:20.280 --> 0:08:23.680 There always are. What's important now, I think, is that 0:08:23.720 --> 0:08:27.160 we adapt to those unintended consequences, to the ever changing 0:08:27.240 --> 0:08:29.080 environment on the battlefield. And we're very good at doing 0:08:29.160 --> 0:08:32.080 that tactically on the ground in Iraq. In Afghanistan, very 0:08:32.080 --> 0:08:35.040 good at that. But our senior military leaders, elected representatives, 0:08:35.559 --> 0:08:39.200 appointed executives across government, they were not over those twenty 0:08:39.240 --> 0:08:41.079 years where were in Afghanistan and all those years we 0:08:41.160 --> 0:08:43.640 were interact there, are very slow to adapt as they 0:08:43.640 --> 0:08:46.400 adapted at all. And everyone remembers how we went from 0:08:46.480 --> 0:08:49.920 WMD to regime changed to nation building to counter insurgency efforts, 0:08:50.120 --> 0:08:53.680 all while nation building hampered by in that strategic decisions 0:08:53.720 --> 0:08:57.120 like dispanding the Iraqi Army depasification, which essentially created the 0:08:57.160 --> 0:09:00.360 insurgency supported by Iran where the insert has had a 0:09:00.360 --> 0:09:02.760 safe haven across the border where we couldn't go, and 0:09:02.800 --> 0:09:04.680 that's where they could build their EFPs, which were the 0:09:04.679 --> 0:09:08.360 explosively formed penetrators which could defeat our armor. But the 0:09:08.440 --> 0:09:12.160 question is, when I hear all the opposing views of 0:09:12.160 --> 0:09:14.920 what we're doing right now, is how close to developing 0:09:14.920 --> 0:09:18.280 a nuclear weapon do you allow a hostile authoritarian regime 0:09:18.280 --> 0:09:20.920 whose organizing principle has been death to America since nineteen 0:09:20.960 --> 0:09:24.080 seventy nine? How close do you allow them to get 0:09:24.360 --> 0:09:28.600 to developing that weapon five years, two years, one year, 0:09:28.960 --> 0:09:32.560 six months, a week before you eliminate that threat and 0:09:32.600 --> 0:09:34.400 we can go back to We all remember Al Qaeda 0:09:34.720 --> 0:09:38.680 they declared war on us nineteen ninety six, nineteen ninety eight, 0:09:39.000 --> 0:09:42.480 embassy bombings in Tanzania and Kenya, the USS coal, and 0:09:42.720 --> 0:09:45.320 we still didn't take them seriously, even though they were 0:09:45.440 --> 0:09:47.520 very clear that they had declared war on US, and 0:09:47.559 --> 0:09:50.000 we treated it as a law enforcement matter all the 0:09:50.000 --> 0:09:53.040 way up until September eleventh, two thousand and one. So 0:09:53.040 --> 0:09:56.600 there are examples in the pages of history. And let's 0:09:56.640 --> 0:09:59.280 go to nineteen eighty three really quick is and now 0:09:59.320 --> 0:10:00.640 there's a host of res I'd like to go back 0:10:00.679 --> 0:10:02.760 to the eighties. I think that's the greatest decade in 0:10:02.800 --> 0:10:06.720 the history of mankind. But there are lessons from nineteen 0:10:06.760 --> 0:10:12.480 eighty three Beirut and when our headquarters and barracks were 0:10:12.520 --> 0:10:15.880 bombed in October of nineteen eighty three, two hundred and 0:10:15.920 --> 0:10:18.800 forty one servicemen killed, the largest number of Marines killed 0:10:18.800 --> 0:10:21.800 SINCEI Rejima in World War Two. The lesson that the 0:10:21.880 --> 0:10:24.840 enemy took from that was that terrorism works. And what 0:10:24.880 --> 0:10:28.959 Iran took from that specifically is that terrorism through proxy's work. 0:10:29.040 --> 0:10:30.520 Because there was a lot of tough talk out of 0:10:30.520 --> 0:10:33.000 the administration at the time, and then we left very 0:10:33.080 --> 0:10:35.720 quietly in early nineteen eighty four. So there's a direct 0:10:35.760 --> 0:10:39.160 line between the inept response in nineteen eighty three nineteen 0:10:39.160 --> 0:10:41.800 eighty four to September eleventh and beyond. 0:10:42.160 --> 0:10:45.200 All right, quick break, final moments. Jack Carr is with 0:10:45.280 --> 0:10:47.959 US retired Navy seal author of the upcoming book out 0:10:47.960 --> 0:10:51.920 in May, the Fourth Option, giving his military analysis of 0:10:52.000 --> 0:10:56.160 what has been going on inside of Iran and this massive, 0:10:56.400 --> 0:11:03.000 overwhelming show of force and victory by the US Armed Services. 0:11:08.440 --> 0:11:11.360 You know, now that the adults are back in office, 0:11:11.480 --> 0:11:14.600 maybe we can get some work done around here. Are 0:11:14.600 --> 0:11:15.080 you ready? 0:11:15.840 --> 0:11:18.040 Welcome back, President Trump. 0:11:18.720 --> 0:11:48.280 This is the Sean Hannity Show, right, we continue now. 0:11:48.400 --> 0:11:49.520 Jack Harror is with us. 0:11:49.559 --> 0:11:52.640 He's a retired Navy seal, author of the upcoming book 0:11:52.640 --> 0:11:55.560 it's out in May, The Fourth Option, giving his military 0:11:55.600 --> 0:11:59.439 analysis of what is happening on the ground in Iran 0:11:59.520 --> 0:12:03.000 and the credible work of the US military, in the 0:12:03.080 --> 0:12:05.080 might of the US military, and the vision of the 0:12:05.120 --> 0:12:09.480 President in this entire issue, in the moral clarity he's showing. 0:12:10.000 --> 0:12:12.880 I know it's beyond comprehension. But what we learned from 0:12:12.880 --> 0:12:17.960 Steve Witkoff, the Middle East envoy, who, along with Jared Kushner, 0:12:18.120 --> 0:12:22.200 was trying to negotiate a deal with the Iranians under 0:12:22.240 --> 0:12:24.600 the principle that Donald Trump played out, which is they 0:12:24.600 --> 0:12:29.040 cannot have nuclear weapons. They offered the Iranians low level 0:12:29.280 --> 0:12:33.560 enriched Uranian for civilian purposes, only that not only would 0:12:33.559 --> 0:12:36.000 they allow them to have that, but they would allow 0:12:36.040 --> 0:12:38.720 them to have it for free, and they'd allow them 0:12:38.720 --> 0:12:42.439 to have it for free, and perpetuity, and they rejected 0:12:42.480 --> 0:12:46.160 that deal, which shows that they were clinging to their 0:12:46.400 --> 0:12:50.439 nuclear ambitions to the very end. And now that leadership's 0:12:50.440 --> 0:12:52.680 been wiped out, I mean just wiped out. 0:12:52.600 --> 0:12:56.480 Cold, clearly, clearly, and if they're not going to take 0:12:56.640 --> 0:13:00.520 that deal, that they're not going to take any deal, 0:13:00.520 --> 0:13:02.360 and it's just a stall tactic till they can get 0:13:02.360 --> 0:13:06.120 to a point where they actually have developed this nuclear weapon. 0:13:06.800 --> 0:13:10.760 And you can see the satellite imagery they were reconstituting 0:13:10.920 --> 0:13:15.040 their ballistic missiles programs, which Donald Trump mentioned on day one, 0:13:15.120 --> 0:13:17.640 and the same with the nuclear program, and you can 0:13:17.720 --> 0:13:21.240 see the images proving that that was all true. 0:13:21.960 --> 0:13:24.800 Yep. In every administration really from nineteen seventy nine on, 0:13:24.840 --> 0:13:28.160 were multiple administrations, both parties. They've had that same pillar 0:13:28.280 --> 0:13:30.760 of US foreign policy, which is not allowing a rand 0:13:30.920 --> 0:13:33.080 to have a nuclear weapon. That is a red line 0:13:33.120 --> 0:13:35.160 in the sand. They've all had different ways they've tried 0:13:35.160 --> 0:13:36.000 to deal with Well. 0:13:35.800 --> 0:13:38.360 Well, it wasn't for Biden and it wasn't for Obama. 0:13:38.480 --> 0:13:41.680 I mean, they were delivering cargo planes full of cash 0:13:41.720 --> 0:13:43.679 and of the currency to try and bribe them out 0:13:43.679 --> 0:13:43.920 of it. 0:13:44.720 --> 0:13:47.920 That is very true. And now we have this administration 0:13:48.000 --> 0:13:51.360 where you have people in positions within the administration thats 0:13:51.679 --> 0:13:54.840 are that's served on the ground in Iraq and Afghanistan. 0:13:55.280 --> 0:13:57.680 They remember those same lessons that I do. They remember 0:13:57.720 --> 0:14:00.000 being there on the ground, and they remember what our sene, 0:14:00.040 --> 0:14:03.200 your level leaders did and essentially putting us in harm's way, 0:14:03.480 --> 0:14:08.240 that making us targets and also allowing the worldwide Jihatis 0:14:08.360 --> 0:14:10.920 to point to us as the infidels and use that 0:14:10.960 --> 0:14:14.360 as a propaganda tool. That they were very effective at 0:14:14.360 --> 0:14:17.280 doing that, much more effective than we will in encountering it. 0:14:18.320 --> 0:14:19.960 Let me, let me bring up one thing that I 0:14:20.000 --> 0:14:22.640 think needs to be said, and that is this idea 0:14:22.640 --> 0:14:26.800 of endless wars, as as the Prime Minister bb Nenyahu said, No, 0:14:26.880 --> 0:14:28.880 it's not going to be an endless war, but it's 0:14:29.160 --> 0:14:31.360 it's not part of the Trump doctrine. There's not going 0:14:31.400 --> 0:14:33.080 to be boots on the ground, not going to be 0:14:33.120 --> 0:14:33.960 an endless war. 0:14:34.520 --> 0:14:34.680 Uh. 0:14:34.920 --> 0:14:38.600 This will end with the Iranian people having an opportunity 0:14:39.040 --> 0:14:42.600 to change their destiny, perhaps once in a generation opportunity, 0:14:42.640 --> 0:14:46.560 as the President said, and the threat of a nuclear 0:14:46.640 --> 0:14:49.960 armed Iran, the chance death to Israel and America is gone, 0:14:50.400 --> 0:14:54.560 and they won't have any nuclear power for the foreseeable future, unless, 0:14:54.600 --> 0:14:57.400 of course, you know, another regime similar to the one 0:14:57.440 --> 0:14:59.680 that just got killed comes back in power. 0:15:00.720 --> 0:15:02.720 It seems that they're taking those lessons in the past 0:15:02.760 --> 0:15:06.200 applying them to the present problems set as wisdom, which 0:15:06.240 --> 0:15:08.560 is really all we can hope for. It seems like 0:15:08.600 --> 0:15:10.280 the days of if you break it, you buy it, 0:15:10.320 --> 0:15:13.600 the Colon Powell pottery bound barn rule is not in 0:15:13.640 --> 0:15:17.600 play anymore. Seems like nation building is not in play anymore, 0:15:17.880 --> 0:15:21.120 and putting us on the ground as targets essentially is 0:15:21.160 --> 0:15:23.280 not in the way that we do. 0:15:23.800 --> 0:15:24.800 Those days are over. 0:15:24.960 --> 0:15:27.720 The days of sending kids door to door, you know, 0:15:27.760 --> 0:15:32.240 stepping over IEDs without up armored Humby's those days. We'll 0:15:32.280 --> 0:15:35.080 never going back to those days. And I predict future 0:15:35.120 --> 0:15:37.480 wars are going to be fought from air conditioned offices. 0:15:38.120 --> 0:15:40.720 We're seeing the beginning of those days right now, and 0:15:40.760 --> 0:15:43.840 it's only going to get more sophisticated over time. I 0:15:43.840 --> 0:15:46.200 could talk to you all day, Jack Carr, really appreciate 0:15:46.200 --> 0:15:47.480 your retired Navy seal. 0:15:48.440 --> 0:15:50.640 Thanks so much for being with us. We do appreciate you. 0:15:51.160 --> 0:15:53.240 Thanks for having me on you take care all right. 0:15:53.280 --> 0:15:57.160 So last night I had the Prime Minister of Israel. 0:15:57.520 --> 0:16:03.400 This is a joint operation the Israeli IDF and America's 0:16:03.440 --> 0:16:06.720 military might, and what they have been able to accomplish 0:16:06.840 --> 0:16:10.840 is beyond spectacular. But anyway, here's my interview with the 0:16:10.840 --> 0:16:14.200 Prime Minister of Israel, Benjamin and Yahoo joining us. Now 0:16:14.400 --> 0:16:18.560 is the Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin at Yahoo. Mister Prime Minister, 0:16:18.680 --> 0:16:21.280 thank you for being here. I know you probably have 0:16:21.280 --> 0:16:25.200 gotten very little sleep in the last number of days. 0:16:25.960 --> 0:16:31.000 Why now, what precipitated this moment at this time? 0:16:31.560 --> 0:16:33.200 I know you have talked about it. We've known each 0:16:33.240 --> 0:16:38.200 other thirty thirty five maybe more years. And why at 0:16:38.200 --> 0:16:39.880 this point was this necessary? 0:16:40.440 --> 0:16:42.640 Well, the first thing to understand is why it's necessary 0:16:42.680 --> 0:16:46.480 at any time. Iran for forty seven years has been 0:16:46.560 --> 0:16:50.200 chanting death to America, death to Israel too. But you're 0:16:50.240 --> 0:16:53.440 the big Satan, We're the small Statan. Death to America. 0:16:53.920 --> 0:16:59.880 They've murdered and named thousands of Americans in Iraq and Afghanistan, 0:17:00.160 --> 0:17:05.760 their IEDs, these roadside bombs, they bombed your embassies. They 0:17:06.400 --> 0:17:10.800 try to assassinate Donald Trump, the President of the United States, twice. 0:17:11.320 --> 0:17:15.439 They've murdered their own people. They massacred so many, and 0:17:15.480 --> 0:17:18.520 they spread a worldwide web of terror. So this is 0:17:18.520 --> 0:17:22.680 a regime committed to destroying the United States of America. 0:17:22.760 --> 0:17:25.439 It's the only country and the planet that says so 0:17:25.520 --> 0:17:29.800 openly and works tirelessly to achieve that goal. The reason 0:17:30.240 --> 0:17:32.840 that we had to act now is because they were 0:17:33.080 --> 0:17:37.719 after we hit their nuclear sites and their ballistic missiles program. 0:17:37.920 --> 0:17:41.200 You'd think they learned a lesson, but they didn't because 0:17:41.200 --> 0:17:46.640 they're unreformable. They're totally fanatic about this, about the goal 0:17:46.640 --> 0:17:50.680 of destroying America. So they started building new sites, new 0:17:50.720 --> 0:17:55.360 places underground bunkers that would make their ballistic missile program 0:17:55.400 --> 0:18:00.240 and their atomic bomb program immune within months. No action 0:18:00.400 --> 0:18:02.919 was taken now, no action could be taken in the future, 0:18:03.320 --> 0:18:06.800 and then they could target America. They could blackmail America, 0:18:07.200 --> 0:18:10.919 they could threaten US and threaten everyone in between. So 0:18:11.080 --> 0:18:14.160 action had to be taken, and you needed the resolute 0:18:14.200 --> 0:18:15.359 president like Donald J. 0:18:15.520 --> 0:18:19.960 Trump to take that action. And we are his very 0:18:20.200 --> 0:18:21.440 strong and. 0:18:21.680 --> 0:18:25.320 Able partners, and our alliance today is so strong. We 0:18:25.359 --> 0:18:27.920 had to take the action now, and we did. Otherwise 0:18:28.280 --> 0:18:32.240 the Iranian mass murder regime would have immunity from future action. 0:18:33.119 --> 0:18:37.399 Steve Whitkoff made this statement the Middle Eastern Envoy. We 0:18:37.520 --> 0:18:43.040 made it last week that they absolutely are clinging to 0:18:43.160 --> 0:18:47.520 their ability to build out a nuclear weapons program. And 0:18:47.600 --> 0:18:50.440 the President, as he said he wanted a peace deal, 0:18:50.880 --> 0:18:54.840 gave them every opportunity for peace like they did before 0:18:54.880 --> 0:18:59.960 Operation Midnight Hammer, and they steadfastly refused in the first 0:19:00.000 --> 0:19:02.800 the first thirty seconds. I've never seen anything like this 0:19:02.920 --> 0:19:07.720 in my life. The supreme leader, the Ayatola Ali Hamane 0:19:08.440 --> 0:19:13.320 and his top forty leaders were wiped out, Aquadtajade among them. 0:19:13.480 --> 0:19:18.800 That is incredible intelligence. And wow, I'm sure this will 0:19:18.800 --> 0:19:21.320 be studied for centuries to come, not decades. 0:19:22.080 --> 0:19:28.359 Well, you know when America the indispensable ally for Israel 0:19:28.600 --> 0:19:32.040 and the greatest part of the world in Israel, America's 0:19:32.040 --> 0:19:35.160 model ally is the National Security Council just called it. 0:19:35.800 --> 0:19:39.760 When we worked together, amazing things happened. We worked together, 0:19:40.040 --> 0:19:42.639 and amazing things happened. But I have to tell you 0:19:42.680 --> 0:19:48.280 that it wouldn't happen without the leadership of President Trump because. 0:19:47.880 --> 0:19:52.040 He just you know, I met him in mar Lago. 0:19:52.040 --> 0:19:54.040 You may remember this because I think you live close 0:19:54.040 --> 0:19:56.600 by and I saw you at that time right before 0:19:56.600 --> 0:20:00.760 I was a reelection, okay, and or before he was 0:20:00.800 --> 0:20:04.639 inaugurated the second time and we met. We met in 0:20:04.720 --> 0:20:08.880 mar Lagum, and the first thing that Donald Trump said 0:20:08.920 --> 0:20:13.080 to me, he said, you know, we have to prevent 0:20:13.200 --> 0:20:17.600 Iran from getting nukes, as simple as that. He said 0:20:17.600 --> 0:20:20.800 that because he saw that as a clear and present 0:20:20.920 --> 0:20:24.560 danger to the security and wellbeing of the United States. 0:20:24.920 --> 0:20:28.600 To have a regime like that, so fanatic that it 0:20:28.720 --> 0:20:34.639 just defines itself by destroying America, exporting revolution, exporting terrorism, 0:20:34.960 --> 0:20:40.240 exporting the worst Islamist fanaticism that attacks Arabs, attacks Israelis, 0:20:40.280 --> 0:20:43.320 attacks Americans, attacks everyone inside. 0:20:43.480 --> 0:20:44.359 They just fired. 0:20:44.440 --> 0:20:49.600 Now they're in sight around the police, including Cyprus in Europe. 0:20:50.000 --> 0:20:53.200 To have a regime like that that plans to eradicate 0:20:53.240 --> 0:20:56.800 the United States have the weapons of mass death would 0:20:56.800 --> 0:21:00.240 have been the greatest threat that America would face in 0:21:00.280 --> 0:21:02.520 the coming decades. And so he said to me right 0:21:02.600 --> 0:21:04.480 off the bat. I didn't say to him. He said 0:21:04.480 --> 0:21:07.360 to me, we have to make sure they never get 0:21:07.400 --> 0:21:10.480 the nukes. And that's what he did. We tried first 0:21:10.560 --> 0:21:13.879 to take them out in Midnight Hammer and the Rising 0:21:13.920 --> 0:21:16.639 Line operation, and we took out their missile sites. But 0:21:16.680 --> 0:21:19.879 then they started again their missile and nuclear sites. They 0:21:19.880 --> 0:21:22.879 didn't learn the lesson. He tried to get negotiations. He 0:21:23.000 --> 0:21:25.639 negotiated with them, they didn't get it. They tried to 0:21:25.680 --> 0:21:29.040 string them along. So action had to be taken, and 0:21:29.080 --> 0:21:29.560 we took it. 0:21:30.359 --> 0:21:35.920 President Trump repeated over and over and over again, and 0:21:36.119 --> 0:21:38.720 I would argue that the leadership that is now dead 0:21:39.400 --> 0:21:43.159 was a death cult and an existential threat, not just 0:21:43.200 --> 0:21:45.879 to the region, not just to Israel, death to Israel, 0:21:45.920 --> 0:21:49.000 death to America. But I am very convinced that have 0:21:49.119 --> 0:21:52.239 been convinced that you have been for decades that if 0:21:52.240 --> 0:21:54.800 they ever got nuclear weapons, that they would you know, 0:21:54.840 --> 0:21:57.959 along with their fanaticism, it would cause them to use it. 0:21:58.600 --> 0:22:02.120 That is what that death cult would cause them to do. 0:22:04.160 --> 0:22:08.119 Is this now the culmination of decades of your work 0:22:08.320 --> 0:22:12.080 and your belief and your passion that these radicals needed 0:22:12.080 --> 0:22:16.040 to be defeated? And what is next for Iran? You 0:22:16.040 --> 0:22:19.320 know we talk about, well the regimes changed, but we 0:22:19.359 --> 0:22:22.280 don't know into what yet. What are your thoughts? 0:22:22.800 --> 0:22:25.680 Well, you're right, I did have spoken about it for decades, 0:22:26.400 --> 0:22:30.480 and I try to try to persuade successive American administrations 0:22:30.920 --> 0:22:34.280 to take firm action. And President Trump and is first 0:22:34.359 --> 0:22:37.480
