WEBVTT - While You Were Sleeping, The U.S. Went to War; "Bombs Dropping Everywhere" 0:00:10.200 --> 0:00:13.360 Hey, there's folks. It is Saturday, February twenty eighth, and 0:00:13.480 --> 0:00:18.439 while you were sleeping, your country went to war with that. 0:00:18.600 --> 0:00:22.960 Welcome through this Saturday, February twenty eighth, Amy and TJ. 0:00:24.520 --> 0:00:27.760 And Robes. This is a morning now. We are waking 0:00:27.840 --> 0:00:29.560 up a lot of people are just finding this out, 0:00:29.600 --> 0:00:35.120 including members of Congress. That Operation Epic Fury is underway. 0:00:35.280 --> 0:00:37.880 The US has attacked Iran, and Robes. This is different 0:00:38.040 --> 0:00:38.840 from last time. 0:00:39.240 --> 0:00:42.519 Yes, and we had been hearing about the threats of this. 0:00:42.680 --> 0:00:45.200 I don't know that any of us were anticipating waking 0:00:45.280 --> 0:00:48.160 up this morning to that news. Certainly, I can speak 0:00:48.200 --> 0:00:51.200 for myself saying I wasn't I had I even popped 0:00:51.280 --> 0:00:53.840 up and you said, babe, were at war. That's a 0:00:53.880 --> 0:00:57.280 fairly ominous thing to hear on a Saturday morning after 0:00:57.480 --> 0:01:00.279 just the last couple of months. 0:01:00.560 --> 0:01:03.360 And yet according to President Trump, necessary. 0:01:03.000 --> 0:01:05.880 It's necessary. It's what he says. But this is a 0:01:05.959 --> 0:01:08.920 much different justification than we've heard in the past. Now, folks, 0:01:08.920 --> 0:01:11.640 we are hopping on here, yes on a Saturday morning, 0:01:11.720 --> 0:01:14.880 because just wanted to give you a quick update. There's 0:01:14.880 --> 0:01:16.480 going to be news coverage. You're going to see all 0:01:16.600 --> 0:01:18.160 day long. But we just want to get you caught 0:01:18.240 --> 0:01:20.679 up on what happened overnight. And as we're recording this, Robes, 0:01:20.720 --> 0:01:22.280 this has only been going on for the past five 0:01:22.400 --> 0:01:25.200 or six hours. That in fact, the US began a 0:01:25.319 --> 0:01:30.800 major military operation against Iran overnight in coordination with Israel. 0:01:30.880 --> 0:01:33.880 And while as we are recording, Robes and the President 0:01:33.959 --> 0:01:37.920 used the word war, we're at war. And right now, 0:01:38.120 --> 0:01:42.200 missiles are flying all over the Middle East. Missiles are 0:01:42.240 --> 0:01:46.640 flying into and out of Iran. We are getting reports 0:01:46.680 --> 0:01:51.000 early of some of the first reports of deaths associated 0:01:51.000 --> 0:01:54.080 and the President is also warning us Robes that there 0:01:54.080 --> 0:01:57.360 could be American deaths and casualties as a part of this. 0:01:57.360 --> 0:02:00.360 This sounds like not just a quick, one and done 0:02:00.440 --> 0:02:03.160 hit type of thing. It sounds like he's preparing us 0:02:03.200 --> 0:02:07.080 for a more protracted and a wider ranging, if you will, 0:02:08.040 --> 0:02:11.120 conflict in that twelve day war we had last summer. 0:02:11.360 --> 0:02:14.320 Wow, stomach was in knots just hearing you describe all 0:02:14.360 --> 0:02:16.720 of that. And the President has been warning people in 0:02:16.760 --> 0:02:20.639 Iran that bombs will be dropping everywhere and that when 0:02:20.680 --> 0:02:26.040 the dust settles, he said, Iranians should then overtake their government. Now, 0:02:26.120 --> 0:02:28.520 as you might imagine you just pointed out Iran is 0:02:28.600 --> 0:02:32.960 retaliating launching missiles at Israel where air raids sirens have 0:02:33.000 --> 0:02:36.840 been going off. Look, I can't imagine what the Israelis 0:02:36.880 --> 0:02:39.480 have been through just over the past several years, and 0:02:39.560 --> 0:02:42.120 now to be at war with Iran and having incoming 0:02:42.160 --> 0:02:44.799 missiles from that part of the world. 0:02:44.919 --> 0:02:47.000 It's crazy to think they're used to this as almost 0:02:47.440 --> 0:02:49.280 a way of life. To a certain degree. They know 0:02:49.320 --> 0:02:50.959 what to do. Here come the sirens. We know where 0:02:50.960 --> 0:02:53.320 to go, we know what to do. And explosions are 0:02:53.320 --> 0:02:56.200 being heard in Israel, and they will tell you most 0:02:56.200 --> 0:02:58.440 of those are familiar. We know those sounds of the 0:02:58.480 --> 0:03:00.919 interceptor system knocking down so many of the missiles and 0:03:00.960 --> 0:03:03.440 drones that have been sent their way. This is where 0:03:03.440 --> 0:03:08.280 we are, folks. And you said it, Robes, don't anybody anticipating, No, 0:03:08.720 --> 0:03:11.120 it's yes. He's been talking about it. If he's talking 0:03:11.160 --> 0:03:12.760 about it for weeks, is it ever going to happen? 0:03:12.800 --> 0:03:15.560 He's gonna make a decision. I guess we should have 0:03:15.560 --> 0:03:18.840 all been on standby. This could happen at any time. 0:03:18.960 --> 0:03:21.320 But Robes, to wake up. Here we go again on 0:03:21.360 --> 0:03:24.160 a Saturday morning. People are waking up in this country, 0:03:24.280 --> 0:03:28.160 dealing with weather, with travel, with Epstein, with everything that's 0:03:28.200 --> 0:03:30.200 been coming at us, and you wake up and go, 0:03:30.320 --> 0:03:34.600 wait what, We're at war? And that's and robes a 0:03:34.600 --> 0:03:37.400 lot of people, including members of Congress. You're gonna wake 0:03:37.440 --> 0:03:39.280 up on a Saturday, folks like wait, what. 0:03:41.160 --> 0:03:43.360 That is wild to think about? And the big question 0:03:43.480 --> 0:03:43.880 is why? 0:03:44.040 --> 0:03:44.200 Right? 0:03:44.320 --> 0:03:45.240 And why now? 0:03:45.520 --> 0:03:48.920 President Trump is saying that it is because Iran has 0:03:49.000 --> 0:03:53.640 refused to make a deal regarding its nuclear ambitions, and 0:03:53.680 --> 0:03:56.560 so he's you know, yes, he's been warning Iran publicly 0:03:56.600 --> 0:04:00.680 for weeks, and he warn of US involvement if protesters 0:04:00.720 --> 0:04:03.760 weren't killed. We remember that as well, and then protesters 0:04:03.800 --> 0:04:08.080 were killed, and he didn't follow through. He actually backed down, 0:04:08.200 --> 0:04:10.840 even when he said he felt like Iran was backing 0:04:10.880 --> 0:04:13.600 down from killing protesters. So it seemed like that situation 0:04:14.280 --> 0:04:17.400 was diffused. And then yes, all of a sudden, we 0:04:17.480 --> 0:04:22.000 wake up this morning and Trump has decided to, along 0:04:22.080 --> 0:04:24.599 with Israel, attack Iran. 0:04:25.080 --> 0:04:27.800 And he did let everyone know that. He put out 0:04:27.839 --> 0:04:31.640 at two thirty am Eastern time, an eight minute long 0:04:31.720 --> 0:04:34.920 video in which he was making a I guess it's 0:04:34.920 --> 0:04:37.159 a mini speech. It went eight minutes, but He did 0:04:37.200 --> 0:04:39.960 not go off of his prepared remarks really as we're 0:04:40.000 --> 0:04:42.840 used to the presidencying announcing that this was going on, 0:04:42.920 --> 0:04:45.479 and the justification for it, which we should mention Robes, 0:04:45.800 --> 0:04:51.600 is a much different justification and a much different objective. 0:04:52.160 --> 0:04:54.760 Last time it was about just shutting down nuclear ambition. 0:04:55.000 --> 0:04:59.159 He has flat outset regime change is what's wanted through 0:04:59.200 --> 0:05:02.840 this one, and he the onus on the Iranians. They say, yeah, 0:05:02.839 --> 0:05:05.479 we're doing this for you, Now take your government. He 0:05:05.680 --> 0:05:08.360 is flat out saying this is a move to change 0:05:08.360 --> 0:05:11.599 the regime in Iran. That, dear lady, is going to 0:05:11.640 --> 0:05:12.480 be a big deal. 0:05:13.200 --> 0:05:17.880 Yeah, because once you take out a government sometimes it's 0:05:17.920 --> 0:05:20.800 part of your responsibility to then build. 0:05:20.440 --> 0:05:21.880 The new government back up. 0:05:22.120 --> 0:05:23.800 But you're hearing Trump and the speech, and we'll get 0:05:23.839 --> 0:05:27.080 into the exact wording that he used. Yes, say we're 0:05:27.120 --> 0:05:29.840 doing this for you. You've been asking us for years. 0:05:30.160 --> 0:05:32.320 Now I'm the president who's actually going. 0:05:32.120 --> 0:05:32.719 To do it for you. 0:05:33.080 --> 0:05:35.839 But you have to be ready to step in, pick 0:05:35.920 --> 0:05:38.880 up the pieces and rebuild your own country. 0:05:39.200 --> 0:05:41.440 That has never really ever happened before. 0:05:41.480 --> 0:05:45.320 When a country is in shambles, typically it needs that nation, 0:05:45.520 --> 0:05:48.120 especially the one who broke it down to help build 0:05:48.120 --> 0:05:48.560 it back up. 0:05:48.600 --> 0:05:49.600 And we've always said as. 0:05:49.520 --> 0:05:53.640 A country, we're not into nation building, but we're certainly 0:05:53.680 --> 0:05:54.560 into regime change. 0:05:54.600 --> 0:05:59.119 Apparently, Yeah, we're just getting Venezuela squared away right now 0:05:59.520 --> 0:06:02.239 and now here. I swear rose when this I first 0:06:02.279 --> 0:06:06.359 saw this, I thought, no, this is not what's happening. 0:06:06.360 --> 0:06:09.040 We don't think at least I said, wow, is Ayatola? 0:06:09.360 --> 0:06:12.360 How many gonna be over in Brooklyn at the MBC 0:06:12.560 --> 0:06:15.919 with Madua here in the next war crimes. Yes, this 0:06:16.040 --> 0:06:18.520 is not the suggestion at all, and they are absolutely 0:06:18.600 --> 0:06:22.880 telling will not be any boots on the ground related 0:06:22.920 --> 0:06:26.119 to this operation. But the question starts to get asked 0:06:26.160 --> 0:06:28.960 by the security exports robes, how are you going to 0:06:29.160 --> 0:06:31.479 change regime? How are you gonna do this without having 0:06:31.560 --> 0:06:33.760 military on the ground. You can't just do air strikes 0:06:33.760 --> 0:06:35.560 and think everything's gonna be okay. You got to get 0:06:35.560 --> 0:06:36.960 in there, and they're saying we're not going to get 0:06:36.960 --> 0:06:39.680 in there. So let's go with what the president did 0:06:39.800 --> 0:06:42.719 lay out roads, which is much different than what he 0:06:42.800 --> 0:06:44.800 laid out before. But this was a video he posted 0:06:44.800 --> 0:06:47.960 two thirty in the morning. Uh, he's standing there by 0:06:48.000 --> 0:06:50.760 himself no tie, blue suit, white shirt, and with a 0:06:51.040 --> 0:06:56.560 bright brand new white USA had on um and delivering 0:06:56.560 --> 0:06:59.640 this nobody else around him. He stayed to his remarks 0:07:00.320 --> 0:07:03.039 in this prepared speech. I didn't see him ad live 0:07:03.279 --> 0:07:04.000 much at all. 0:07:04.360 --> 0:07:06.120 No, No, he stuck to his notes. 0:07:06.160 --> 0:07:07.920 And it was a little bit of a It felt 0:07:07.920 --> 0:07:10.360 like a little bit of an ominous setting. Seemed like 0:07:10.400 --> 0:07:13.760 he was all alone on this stage. It was podium 0:07:13.800 --> 0:07:17.400 with a darker background. Yes it was. It definitely felt ominous, 0:07:17.400 --> 0:07:19.200 and it was pre taped. I don't think it was 0:07:19.240 --> 0:07:21.000 at two thirty in the morning that he put this 0:07:21.080 --> 0:07:24.120 out here, But so what an interesting time to release 0:07:24.200 --> 0:07:25.760 this video it was. 0:07:25.840 --> 0:07:28.240 I think he released it the operations start at maybe 0:07:28.240 --> 0:07:31.040 an hour hour and a half before they're saying. But yeah, 0:07:31.080 --> 0:07:32.960 he gets the word out there, and it sounds like 0:07:33.320 --> 0:07:35.760 and again, these are important. We're not going to read 0:07:35.760 --> 0:07:37.600 the whole thing to you, but these were the important 0:07:37.880 --> 0:07:40.200 nuggets here and robes he does. He sounds like he 0:07:40.280 --> 0:07:46.160 is preparing us for a larger scale engagement than we 0:07:46.280 --> 0:07:47.119 saw the last time. 0:07:47.480 --> 0:07:50.600 Yes, he began with this. The United States military began 0:07:50.840 --> 0:07:55.120 major combat operations in Iran. Our objective is to defend 0:07:55.120 --> 0:08:00.320 the American people by eliminating imminent threats from the Iranian regime. 0:08:00.440 --> 0:08:02.960 Okay, now that's something that's general, that's something we've heard before. 0:08:03.040 --> 0:08:05.440 But we've always been told, right, Brobes, that it's their 0:08:05.520 --> 0:08:08.960 nuclear ambitions, the nuclear ambitions. We can't let them go 0:08:09.040 --> 0:08:11.600 a step further. That's why we had to attack last summer. 0:08:11.800 --> 0:08:14.400 We can't let them go further. This is now sounding 0:08:14.520 --> 0:08:17.920 like a different justification. This next line, for sure, he 0:08:18.040 --> 0:08:21.840 goes back in history for why this moment is why 0:08:22.360 --> 0:08:24.080 this war needs to be launched. 0:08:24.200 --> 0:08:25.640 Yes, this is what the President said. 0:08:25.680 --> 0:08:29.680 For forty seven years, the Iranian regime has chanted death 0:08:29.720 --> 0:08:33.600 to America and waged an unending campaign of bloodshed and 0:08:33.640 --> 0:08:37.120 mass murder, targeting the United States, our troops, and the 0:08:37.160 --> 0:08:40.680 innocent people in many many countries. Among the regime's very 0:08:40.760 --> 0:08:43.480 first acts was to back a violent takeover of the 0:08:43.559 --> 0:08:47.560 US embassy in Tehran, holding dozens of American hostages for 0:08:47.679 --> 0:08:51.280 four hundred and forty four days. In nineteen eighty three, 0:08:51.760 --> 0:08:55.319 Iran's proxies carried out the Marine Barracks bombing in Beirut. 0:08:55.320 --> 0:08:58.319 They killed two hundred and forty one American military personnel. 0:08:58.840 --> 0:09:01.920 In two thousand they knew and were probably involved with 0:09:01.960 --> 0:09:05.600 the attack on the USS coal many died. Iranian forces 0:09:05.720 --> 0:09:08.720 killed and maimed hundreds of American service members in Iraq. 0:09:09.080 --> 0:09:12.240 The regime's proxies have continued to launch countless attacks against 0:09:12.240 --> 0:09:15.360 American forces stationed in the Middle East in recent years, 0:09:15.600 --> 0:09:18.840 as well as US naval and commercial vessels and international 0:09:18.840 --> 0:09:22.560 shipping lines. It's been mass terror and we're not going 0:09:22.640 --> 0:09:24.520 to put up with it any longer. 0:09:24.600 --> 0:09:26.800 And he goes back to our history like you've all 0:09:26.920 --> 0:09:29.600 been agitating us for a long time. This really did 0:09:29.640 --> 0:09:32.480 sound like we've just been keeping these receipts we're adding 0:09:32.559 --> 0:09:34.439 up and finally we're sick of this, and you got 0:09:34.480 --> 0:09:37.040 the wrong president. You're messing with the wrong dude. Yeah. 0:09:37.080 --> 0:09:40.360 It's unclear though what the straw that broke the camel's 0:09:40.400 --> 0:09:43.600 back was, though, because he does, yes, go back that 0:09:43.800 --> 0:09:48.280 far in history to detail all of the transgressions that 0:09:48.320 --> 0:09:52.199 Iran has committed against America. I yet I don't understand 0:09:52.240 --> 0:09:58.840 what this latest thing was that created now now being 0:09:58.880 --> 0:10:01.880 the moment or the knee for an actual attack. 0:10:02.000 --> 0:10:05.040 And we should mention we didn't say the top negotiations 0:10:05.080 --> 0:10:07.960 have been going on the US and Iran have been talking, 0:10:08.080 --> 0:10:12.600 actively negotiating even as late as Thursday. Jared Kushner and 0:10:13.200 --> 0:10:17.439 said the envoy we should know with cough, we should know, 0:10:17.559 --> 0:10:20.400 these are the phusiest two dudes on the planet, along 0:10:20.480 --> 0:10:23.800 with Rubio. Just we're talking. On Thursday, President said he 0:10:23.800 --> 0:10:27.920 didn't like how those negotiations necessarily went, and here we are, 0:10:28.120 --> 0:10:33.160 but wrote the justification now is much much different, and 0:10:33.200 --> 0:10:36.040 he is saying that part of it, yes, is those negotiations. 0:10:36.040 --> 0:10:38.679 But like you just laid out history, he went back 0:10:38.720 --> 0:10:41.080 to the hostage. He said, that is part of the 0:10:41.160 --> 0:10:42.319 justification for today. 0:10:42.800 --> 0:10:47.000 Something happened in nineteen eighty three. 0:10:47.520 --> 0:10:50.040 That's what we're going back to. So he's using this justification. 0:10:50.080 --> 0:10:53.720 He said. They rejected every opportunity to renounce their nuclear ambitions, 0:10:53.720 --> 0:10:56.800 and we can't take it anymore. Instead, they attempted to 0:10:56.800 --> 0:10:59.320 rebuild their nuclear program and to continue developing the long 0:10:59.400 --> 0:11:02.760 range missile that can now threaten our very good friends 0:11:02.760 --> 0:11:05.920 and allies in Europe. Are troops stationed overseas and could 0:11:06.040 --> 0:11:11.120 soon reach the American homeland. That sounds scary. Security experts 0:11:11.120 --> 0:11:14.160 say something else that they don't have that capability and 0:11:14.440 --> 0:11:17.719 they won't anytime soon fine, but still to put that 0:11:17.760 --> 0:11:19.880 line in there. If an American citizen that's hearing that, 0:11:20.120 --> 0:11:21.920 they go, hell, yeah, we got to stop that. We 0:11:21.920 --> 0:11:23.480 can't have those missiles coming over here. 0:11:24.080 --> 0:11:27.319 Yes, but what's interesting is he mentioned our good friends 0:11:27.320 --> 0:11:30.040 and allies in Europe. Are they Why would they then 0:11:30.160 --> 0:11:32.040 not be a part of this strike as well. 0:11:32.440 --> 0:11:33.600 That's an interesting thought. 0:11:33.640 --> 0:11:38.480 If you're closer logistically to said country that is building 0:11:38.480 --> 0:11:40.720 missiles that could reach them, you'd think they would even 0:11:40.760 --> 0:11:42.000 have a bigger vested interest. 0:11:42.240 --> 0:11:45.080 But it's of note. Great Britain not involved. I know 0:11:45.160 --> 0:11:46.760 people ask the question if the UK. 0:11:46.720 --> 0:11:50.520 Had any hand, even from an intelligence standpoint, and nope, 0:11:50.760 --> 0:11:52.600 they had nothing to do with this operation. 0:11:52.920 --> 0:11:55.680 And you know, a lot of them and folks. Right now, again, 0:11:55.679 --> 0:11:59.439 we are recording this just hours after what five or 0:11:59.440 --> 0:12:03.840 so hours after this all started. Right now, news alerts 0:12:03.880 --> 0:12:08.960 are flying, Statements are flying from allies in the region, 0:12:09.320 --> 0:12:13.880 from other countries in the region, from leaders, from ministries, 0:12:13.960 --> 0:12:16.160 you name it, all putting out some kind of a 0:12:16.200 --> 0:12:18.760 statement saying we didn't have anything to do with this, 0:12:18.880 --> 0:12:21.280 we are looking into this, we support this, we are 0:12:21.320 --> 0:12:25.480 against this. Everything is lying and emergency meetings are happening everywhere. 0:12:25.760 --> 0:12:27.720 Yeah, this is destabilizing, It. 0:12:27.679 --> 0:12:31.280 Absolutely is, so this next line here, But the President 0:12:32.160 --> 0:12:39.280 has is now laying out the objectives today and for 0:12:39.360 --> 0:12:41.760 this operation, which again Ropes doesn't sound like this is 0:12:41.800 --> 0:12:42.600 going to be a one and done. 0:12:42.760 --> 0:12:44.880 Oh that's right, he says, for these reasons, the United 0:12:44.880 --> 0:12:50.840 States military is undertaking a massive and ongoing operation to 0:12:50.920 --> 0:12:55.360 prevent this very wicked radical dictatorship from threatening America and 0:12:55.559 --> 0:12:58.679 our core national security interests. We're going to destroy their 0:12:58.720 --> 0:13:02.760 missiles and raise their missile industry to the ground. It 0:13:02.800 --> 0:13:08.280 will be totally again obliterated. We're going to annihilate their navy. 0:13:08.480 --> 0:13:11.320 We're going to ensure that the region's terrorist proxies can 0:13:11.360 --> 0:13:14.640 no longer destabilize the region or the world and attack 0:13:14.640 --> 0:13:18.280 our forces, and no longer use their IEDs or roadside 0:13:18.320 --> 0:13:21.000 bombs as they are sometimes called to so gravely wound 0:13:21.080 --> 0:13:24.440 and kill thousands and thousands of people, including many Americans. 0:13:24.720 --> 0:13:27.400 And we will ensure that Iran does not obtain a 0:13:27.480 --> 0:13:31.040 nuclear weapon. It's a very simple message. They never they 0:13:31.040 --> 0:13:32.960 will never have a nuclear weapon. 0:13:33.080 --> 0:13:35.760 We always knew about that part. But he lays out 0:13:35.840 --> 0:13:38.400 so many other justifications and objectives here. We're going to 0:13:38.480 --> 0:13:42.599 wipe out the navy. We're wiped it. The President is 0:13:42.640 --> 0:13:45.200 now talking about something completely different. This is not just 0:13:45.320 --> 0:13:49.680 targeted after the nuclear weapons program and ropes. We have 0:13:49.920 --> 0:13:56.280 seen this morning that initially the US the strikes appear 0:13:56.360 --> 0:14:01.360 to go after military targets, but also there are reports 0:14:01.360 --> 0:14:05.160 plenty out there that the home of the Supreme leader 0:14:05.200 --> 0:14:08.600 there has been targeted as well, that leadership is being 0:14:08.640 --> 0:14:09.839 targeted in Iran. Robes. 0:14:09.880 --> 0:14:12.000 This is as happening right now. 0:14:12.160 --> 0:14:14.640 This is like they have made a decision. It sounds 0:14:14.720 --> 0:14:19.080 like Trump is made to decision to start Iran over, 0:14:20.160 --> 0:14:24.280 to reset Iran by getting rid of a regime that 0:14:24.360 --> 0:14:26.600 folks have been talking about for decades, getting rid of 0:14:26.600 --> 0:14:29.120 regime change in Iran. Regime change in Iran hadn't happened 0:14:29.160 --> 0:14:34.080 yet but till now. But he is doubling down, I think, 0:14:34.160 --> 0:14:35.920 and making a commitment almost. It sounds like in a 0:14:35.960 --> 0:14:39.480 way Robes that how can you back off of back 0:14:39.520 --> 0:14:41.240 down from this? He has to see this through. 0:14:41.360 --> 0:14:43.200 Oh no, when you make a move like this, you 0:14:43.280 --> 0:14:45.760 go in and you have to go in all the way. 0:14:46.040 --> 0:14:46.920 And that's the question. 0:14:47.280 --> 0:14:49.600 Can you do it without He claims he's not putting 0:14:49.600 --> 0:14:52.040 boots on the ground, but can you actually do it 0:14:52.120 --> 0:14:54.840 the way it needs to be done to maintain or 0:14:54.880 --> 0:14:56.840 to at least complete your objective. 0:14:57.080 --> 0:15:00.400 But stay here, folks. He had a warning, a warning 0:15:00.520 --> 0:15:04.400 for Americans in his message said we need to be prepared, 0:15:04.520 --> 0:15:09.240 possibly for casualties in this thing. Also, the President had 0:15:09.320 --> 0:15:13.520 a very direct message for the people of Iran. You 0:15:13.600 --> 0:15:17.240 need to take over your own government. And he had 0:15:17.280 --> 0:15:21.600 an offer for those military and police in Iran as well. 0:15:21.640 --> 0:15:34.160 Stare We continue here on Amy and TJ on a 0:15:34.200 --> 0:15:36.280 breaking news morning. We're waking up the country is on 0:15:36.320 --> 0:15:38.480 a Saturday morning, finding out that the country is at 0:15:38.520 --> 0:15:42.040 war with Iran. Large scale attack been launched by the 0:15:42.120 --> 0:15:46.640 United States and Israel against sites in Iran. Iran roopes 0:15:46.680 --> 0:15:49.120 has begun. How they put out statements saying they were 0:15:49.160 --> 0:15:52.520 going to retaliate. There are a lot of US bases 0:15:52.680 --> 0:15:55.160 and personnel in the region. We are starting to get 0:15:55.200 --> 0:15:58.760 reports that those have come under attack against. Sorry, folks, 0:15:58.760 --> 0:16:01.280 we don't have more definitive information, but it's starting to 0:16:01.520 --> 0:16:05.000 just trickle out. Because this is brand new, this is fresh. 0:16:05.040 --> 0:16:07.440 We also know ROPE plenty of times when we see 0:16:07.440 --> 0:16:09.440 things happening in Iran. What do they do cut off 0:16:09.480 --> 0:16:13.040 communication so that phone lines and internet and those things, 0:16:13.080 --> 0:16:15.960 it's hard to get information out. But this is right 0:16:16.000 --> 0:16:22.720 now a possible reshaping of the region once again in Americans, 0:16:23.600 --> 0:16:25.920 and American lives could be at risk, and he did. 0:16:26.600 --> 0:16:30.480 The President warned of that in his speech, and I 0:16:30.480 --> 0:16:33.120 guess in an ominous but a direct way, he had 0:16:33.160 --> 0:16:33.920 to acknowledge this. 0:16:34.080 --> 0:16:37.560 Just even this is a Saturday morning shocker, just to 0:16:37.600 --> 0:16:41.040 even hear you recap all of that as we join 0:16:41.120 --> 0:16:44.120 you all once again, and it's just it's hard to imagine. 0:16:44.160 --> 0:16:47.200 I feel like every day you wake up and there's 0:16:47.240 --> 0:16:50.480 some new shocking headline, but this one takes the cake. 0:16:50.520 --> 0:16:54.680 And this is going to clearly change not only the 0:16:54.720 --> 0:16:58.720 region there in the Middle East, but certainly all the 0:16:58.760 --> 0:17:02.760 countries around in our allies. Everyone has to pick sides, 0:17:02.800 --> 0:17:04.160 Everyone has to decide are. 0:17:04.000 --> 0:17:04.960 We doing the right thing? 0:17:05.240 --> 0:17:09.919 We've joined with Israel, and even members of our own government, 0:17:09.960 --> 0:17:12.400 as you pointed out, are waking up and saying, wait, 0:17:12.480 --> 0:17:13.160 what are we doing? 0:17:14.240 --> 0:17:15.840 Who gave the green light to this? 0:17:16.480 --> 0:17:20.200 Does the President even need congressional approval these days? 0:17:20.320 --> 0:17:23.200 Obviously that's going to be the debate. Ah way, he's 0:17:23.240 --> 0:17:26.359 going to be the depay debate robes and legally, what 0:17:27.320 --> 0:17:29.120 does he have the authority to do? That is not 0:17:29.280 --> 0:17:31.520 because there's no way we are going to be able 0:17:31.560 --> 0:17:34.920 to explain it here, because the legal the legal folks, 0:17:34.920 --> 0:17:37.840 the scholars, the experts don't even agree on the power 0:17:37.840 --> 0:17:39.600 he has. In Congress last time they were trying to 0:17:39.600 --> 0:17:42.840 do limit his ability to do things on his own. 0:17:43.440 --> 0:17:45.080 And some will say he has the power to do this. 0:17:45.320 --> 0:17:47.119 Others say, hey, you should have come and talked to 0:17:47.200 --> 0:17:50.000 us ropes. As we are recording, there are members of 0:17:50.040 --> 0:17:52.879 the US Congress who aren't aware. 0:17:53.280 --> 0:17:55.560 They're not awake, they're sleeping, and they went to bed 0:17:55.600 --> 0:17:57.800 thinking that we were not at poor So. 0:17:57.800 --> 0:18:00.000 Yes, we'll continue to read part of what the press. 0:18:00.000 --> 0:18:02.879 President said in his eight minute taped address to the 0:18:02.960 --> 0:18:05.840 nation that he put out at two thirty this morning. 0:18:06.119 --> 0:18:08.439 He said, I do not make this statement lightly. The 0:18:08.480 --> 0:18:12.960 Iranian regime seeks to kill the lives of courageous American heroes. 0:18:13.000 --> 0:18:16.439 May be lost, and we may have casualties that often 0:18:16.480 --> 0:18:19.600 happens in war, but we're doing this not for now. 0:18:19.840 --> 0:18:22.720 We're doing this for the future, and it is a 0:18:22.760 --> 0:18:23.600 noble mission. 0:18:24.440 --> 0:18:28.520 Maybe if Americans believe that. Okay, but he's essentially saying 0:18:28.520 --> 0:18:31.919 we need to put American lives possibly at risk to 0:18:31.960 --> 0:18:34.400 do this, because he's saying it is a bigger mission. 0:18:34.640 --> 0:18:37.040 This next part here roped. We don't exactly know what 0:18:37.080 --> 0:18:39.480 it means. But he spoke to the armed forces there 0:18:39.520 --> 0:18:43.760 in Iran. I got direct message and almost was negotiating 0:18:43.760 --> 0:18:46.760 with him, giving an offer. We don't quite understand how 0:18:46.760 --> 0:18:47.320 it would work. 0:18:47.640 --> 0:18:50.160 Yeah, So he says to the members of the Islamic 0:18:50.200 --> 0:18:53.800 Revolutionary Guard, the armed forces and all of the police, 0:18:53.880 --> 0:18:57.040 I say tonight that you must lay down your weapons 0:18:57.040 --> 0:19:00.400 and have complete immunity, or in the ald time hernative 0:19:00.480 --> 0:19:01.320 face certain death. 0:19:01.640 --> 0:19:02.840 So lay down your arms. 0:19:02.880 --> 0:19:06.479 You will be treated fairly with total immunity, or you 0:19:06.520 --> 0:19:11.320 will face certain death. So he's he's saying that if 0:19:11.640 --> 0:19:15.639 they don't fight back, you be held accountable, Yes, and 0:19:15.680 --> 0:19:16.480 they won't be killed. 0:19:16.840 --> 0:19:22.200 Yeah, just give up your weapons to whom and then 0:19:22.280 --> 0:19:26.840 raise your hand to whom. Who are you surrendering to? Okay, 0:19:26.720 --> 0:19:29.240 maybe that sounds attractive. We don't know how that would work, 0:19:29.280 --> 0:19:30.720 but we don't have boots. 0:19:30.359 --> 0:19:32.440 On the ground rebels. I guess, is that what he's 0:19:32.440 --> 0:19:33.320 saying don't. 0:19:33.880 --> 0:19:36.560 I don't know who are they going to? He didn't 0:19:36.560 --> 0:19:37.280 explain that one. 0:19:37.480 --> 0:19:41.760 Yes, and then so then he goes on to address 0:19:41.760 --> 0:19:45.040 the Iranian people. Finally, to the great proud people of Iran, 0:19:45.440 --> 0:19:48.600 I say tonight that the hour of your freedom is 0:19:48.640 --> 0:19:52.040 at hand. Stay sheltered, don't leave your home. It's very 0:19:52.119 --> 0:19:55.879 dangerous outside. Bombs will be dropping everywhere. When we are 0:19:55.920 --> 0:19:59.680 finished take over your government, it will be yours to take. 0:20:00.160 --> 0:20:03.400 This will be probably your only chance for generation. 0:20:03.880 --> 0:20:08.760 That is a he's setting up a I mean, is 0:20:08.800 --> 0:20:14.000 that message going to be received with any real sense? 0:20:14.480 --> 0:20:17.760 Or do they think that's a sincere statement? Right? Is 0:20:17.800 --> 0:20:21.360 this the only chance? He's setting this up as I'm 0:20:21.359 --> 0:20:23.640 giving you an opportunity to do something that's been talked 0:20:23.640 --> 0:20:25.320 about for decades. To do it now or you won't 0:20:25.320 --> 0:20:26.000 get another chance. 0:20:26.480 --> 0:20:29.960 Look easy to say, but now, if you're not getting 0:20:29.960 --> 0:20:32.720 boots on the ground, you're not getting that support after 0:20:32.760 --> 0:20:36.520 the bombs go off from America or from Israel. Now 0:20:36.560 --> 0:20:39.280 you have to trust that you'll be able to take 0:20:39.359 --> 0:20:42.720 up arms against your government, that they were disabled enough 0:20:42.840 --> 0:20:45.000 or destroyed enough that you'll be able to rise up 0:20:45.000 --> 0:20:47.960 in what if you don't like that's just a tall order. 0:20:48.760 --> 0:20:51.120 We're gonna give you a head start, but you got 0:20:51.119 --> 0:20:51.880 to finish the job. 0:20:52.040 --> 0:20:54.680 But this next, this last part here, he really went 0:20:54.720 --> 0:20:58.919 a little further road ropes in challenging them, almost like 0:20:58.960 --> 0:21:00.560
