1
00:00:01,760 --> 00:00:03,720
Speaker 1: What specifically is better than a ceasfire?

2
00:00:03,800 --> 00:00:05,440
Speaker 2: What are you looking for here?

3
00:00:06,960 --> 00:00:09,920
Speaker 3: And then a real end, not a ceasefire, and then

4
00:00:10,280 --> 00:00:12,959
Speaker 3: we are giving up entirely.

5
00:00:13,240 --> 00:00:14,120
Speaker 1: Is that okay too?

6
00:00:14,720 --> 00:00:18,919
Speaker 3: You're listening to the forty seven Morning Update with Ben ferguson.

Speaker 4: First up, we're gonna give you the latest on what's happening,

12
00:00:29,600 --> 00:00:33,479
Speaker 4: and it's evolving very quickly with America's foreign policy when

13
00:00:33,520 --> 00:00:36,000
Speaker 4: it comes to Iran and the real chance now that

14
00:00:36,080 --> 00:00:40,239
Speaker 4: America may join the fight. Also Donald Trump making it

15
00:00:40,280 --> 00:00:44,120
Speaker 4: clear what his intentions are with Iran and calling out

16
00:00:44,159 --> 00:00:46,959
Speaker 4: the Supreme Leader as well. We're going to break all

17
00:00:47,000 --> 00:00:49,239
Speaker 4: of that down for you. I want to also just

18
00:00:49,280 --> 00:00:50,879
Speaker 4: talk to you real quickly about what you can do

19
00:00:50,920 --> 00:00:54,200
Speaker 4: to help the people in Israel. And we've been talking

20
00:00:54,280 --> 00:00:57,040
Speaker 4: for a long time about an organization called the International

21
00:00:57,120 --> 00:00:58,600
Speaker 4: Fellowship of Christians and Jews.

22
00:00:59,120 --> 00:01:00,520
Speaker 2: And right now, after your.

23
00:01:00,480 --> 00:01:02,600
Speaker 4: Witnessing what is happening, you may say, you know what,

24
00:01:02,720 --> 00:01:05,000
Speaker 4: I want to stand with the people in Israel and

25
00:01:05,000 --> 00:01:08,280
Speaker 4: what we're saying it is disturbing anti Semitism on the rise,

26
00:01:08,360 --> 00:01:10,039
Speaker 4: not just in the Middle East, but.

27
00:01:10,319 --> 00:01:11,760
Speaker 2: Even here in America.

28
00:01:12,160 --> 00:01:15,000
Speaker 4: We're seeing Jewish schools, they are being targeted, synagogues, they

29
00:01:15,000 --> 00:01:17,720
Speaker 4: are being threatened, Families that are living in fear, and

30
00:01:17,760 --> 00:01:21,479
Speaker 4: it's a whole other level of pain that we're witnessing

31
00:01:21,680 --> 00:01:24,880
Speaker 4: in Israel. And that's why I want you to get

32
00:01:24,880 --> 00:01:28,000
Speaker 4: involved with the International Fellowship of Christians and Jews. They're

33
00:01:28,040 --> 00:01:30,640
Speaker 4: on the front lines and they're giving food and shelter

34
00:01:31,240 --> 00:01:34,720
Speaker 4: to so many displaced Jewish families that are under threat.

35
00:01:35,120 --> 00:01:39,520
Speaker 4: They're also literally as we speak, building bomb shelters just

36
00:01:39,680 --> 00:01:42,840
Speaker 4: for children to be able to save more children with

37
00:01:43,080 --> 00:01:45,800
Speaker 4: all of the rockets that are coming in. They're helping

38
00:01:45,840 --> 00:01:49,720
Speaker 4: survivors of hate rebuild their lives and their homes. And

39
00:01:49,760 --> 00:01:52,560
Speaker 4: they don't just respond to this crisis, they work every

40
00:01:52,640 --> 00:01:56,520
Speaker 4: day to prevent future crisis from even happening. Now, how

41
00:01:56,560 --> 00:01:58,520
Speaker 4: can you help, Well, you can have a simple gift

42
00:01:58,560 --> 00:02:01,360
Speaker 4: of just forty five dollars that will help support their

43
00:02:01,400 --> 00:02:04,280
Speaker 4: life saving work by providing food and shelter and so

44
00:02:04,400 --> 00:02:05,560
Speaker 4: much more so.

45
00:02:05,720 --> 00:02:07,840
Speaker 2: If you want to stand with the people in Israel.

46
00:02:08,040 --> 00:02:11,079
Speaker 4: You can do it right now by getting involved with IFCJ.

Speaker 4: at eight four eight eight IFCJ. It's a forty seven

53
00:02:36,680 --> 00:02:38,840
Speaker 4: morning update and it starts right now.

54
00:02:39,080 --> 00:02:40,160
Speaker 2: Story number one.

55
00:02:40,240 --> 00:02:44,639
Speaker 4: Donald Trump's hardline stance on Iran's nuclear program and what

56
00:02:44,720 --> 00:02:49,040
Speaker 4: that means moving forward is becoming much more clear. Donald

57
00:02:49,080 --> 00:02:55,200
Speaker 4: Trump number one demanding Iran's unconditional surrender. Trump escalating his

58
00:02:55,320 --> 00:02:59,359
Speaker 4: rhetoric in light of the recent Israel Iran strikes, calling

59
00:02:59,440 --> 00:03:05,320
Speaker 4: for rand surrender and warning civilians to evacuate Tehran. We

60
00:03:05,440 --> 00:03:08,280
Speaker 4: also know that it's clear what the president wants to do.

61
00:03:08,760 --> 00:03:12,799
Speaker 4: It is targeting Iran's nuclear sites. Let's be clear, this

62
00:03:12,880 --> 00:03:16,200
Speaker 4: is not about a war or an invasion or boots

63
00:03:16,280 --> 00:03:19,600
Speaker 4: on the ground. Trump is not ruling out strikes and

64
00:03:19,639 --> 00:03:23,560
Speaker 4: Iran's nuclear facilities, but he's also made it clear he's

65
00:03:23,600 --> 00:03:27,160
Speaker 4: not wanting to invade anything at all. He has even

66
00:03:27,160 --> 00:03:30,120
Speaker 4: made it clear to the Supreme Leader calling him quote

67
00:03:30,160 --> 00:03:33,440
Speaker 4: an easy target, though saying killing him is not on

68
00:03:33,480 --> 00:03:36,960
Speaker 4: the table for now. Why did he say that, warning

69
00:03:37,160 --> 00:03:40,160
Speaker 4: the Supreme Leader that you better not harm a single

70
00:03:40,240 --> 00:03:44,120
Speaker 4: American troop in the Middle East? Now it's very clear

71
00:03:44,200 --> 00:03:48,120
Speaker 4: that Iran could in fact go after American soldiers, and

72
00:03:48,160 --> 00:03:50,720
Speaker 4: the President wanted to get ahead of that, saying if

73
00:03:50,760 --> 00:03:53,240
Speaker 4: you want to die, because I know where you are,

74
00:03:53,920 --> 00:03:56,600
Speaker 4: I can take you out at any moment, So you

75
00:03:56,760 --> 00:04:02,160
Speaker 4: better not retaliate and go after any American bases or

76
00:04:02,320 --> 00:04:06,480
Speaker 4: servicemen and women. Targeting Iran's nuclear sites is what this

77
00:04:06,680 --> 00:04:07,800
Speaker 4: is really all about.

78
00:04:08,240 --> 00:04:09,320
Speaker 2: And now we know that the.

79
00:04:09,280 --> 00:04:13,360
Speaker 4: President is mobilizing military assets as well. The US has

80
00:04:13,400 --> 00:04:18,320
Speaker 4: now positioned bombers, refueling tankers, and aircraft carriers the Carl

81
00:04:18,400 --> 00:04:21,559
Speaker 4: Vincent and the Nimits to the region as a show

82
00:04:21,680 --> 00:04:25,080
Speaker 4: of force. We also know the Vice President is playing

83
00:04:25,080 --> 00:04:28,400
Speaker 4: a major role in the diplomacy. Jeddy Vance is also

84
00:04:28,480 --> 00:04:33,320
Speaker 4: playing the role of reassuring skeptics Vans, countering those within

85
00:04:33,360 --> 00:04:36,000
Speaker 4: the base who are saying that Donald Trump should just

86
00:04:36,000 --> 00:04:38,920
Speaker 4: be an isolationist and should not get involved at all,

87
00:04:39,360 --> 00:04:43,040
Speaker 4: making it clear that Trump has an obligation to defend

88
00:04:43,080 --> 00:04:46,440
Speaker 4: America and make sure that Iran doesn't get a nuclear

89
00:04:46,440 --> 00:04:50,200
Speaker 4: weapon to attack American citizens as well as our ally

90
00:04:50,520 --> 00:04:54,279
Speaker 4: Israel now stressing restraint is also part of what the

91
00:04:54,279 --> 00:04:58,080
Speaker 4: White House is talking about. They are signaling yes, potential

92
00:04:58,120 --> 00:05:03,440
Speaker 4: military action be extremely limited to the nuclear sites. Both

93
00:05:03,560 --> 00:05:07,320
Speaker 4: Vans and other administration officials are stressing that the immediate,

94
00:05:07,360 --> 00:05:11,039
Speaker 4: full scale action of even going after these new nuclear

95
00:05:11,120 --> 00:05:14,599
Speaker 4: sites has not been confirmed. And you've got to put

96
00:05:14,600 --> 00:05:18,719
Speaker 4: this in a broader context. There is clear support for

97
00:05:18,800 --> 00:05:22,400
Speaker 4: the president at home for him to go after Iran's

98
00:05:22,440 --> 00:05:25,359
Speaker 4: nuclear sites, but there's also clear polling to show that

99
00:05:25,440 --> 00:05:29,039
Speaker 4: Americans do not want boots on the ground. They do

100
00:05:29,160 --> 00:05:32,720
Speaker 4: not want to invade Iran either, and that is what

101
00:05:32,800 --> 00:05:35,840
Speaker 4: Donald Trump has been very clear about. He has no

102
00:05:35,920 --> 00:05:37,080
Speaker 4: intention of doing that.

103
00:05:37,720 --> 00:05:37,880
Speaker 2: Now.

104
00:05:37,920 --> 00:05:40,360
Speaker 4: The other question is when will the decision be made?

105
00:05:40,800 --> 00:05:44,800
Speaker 4: The State Department spokesman saying this about the president earlier.

106
00:05:44,960 --> 00:05:45,960
Speaker 2: It's up to the president.

107
00:05:46,000 --> 00:05:49,039
Speaker 5: He is the singular guiding hand about what will be

108
00:05:49,080 --> 00:05:53,400
Speaker 5: occurring from this point forward, as he has been, and

109
00:05:53,720 --> 00:05:57,000
Speaker 5: I think that that dynamic is pretty clear. He says

110
00:05:57,040 --> 00:06:00,240
Speaker 5: he wants an end as he has said about every

111
00:06:00,440 --> 00:06:05,039
Speaker 5: conflict that he has as a peacemaker worked to stop

112
00:06:05,200 --> 00:06:09,680
Speaker 5: peacefully through diplomacy. That has been his commitment. And he

113
00:06:09,800 --> 00:06:12,720
Speaker 5: wants these things, as he said about in a number

114
00:06:12,720 --> 00:06:15,960
Speaker 5: of situations, not for a month or six months, but

115
00:06:16,200 --> 00:06:21,000
Speaker 5: durable ends to this nature of forever wars. And that

116
00:06:21,080 --> 00:06:23,400
Speaker 5: has been his posture, and that's his posture.

117
00:06:23,440 --> 00:06:23,680
Speaker 1: Now.

118
00:06:24,200 --> 00:06:26,840
Speaker 4: It's very clear the President does not want this to

119
00:06:26,920 --> 00:06:30,159
Speaker 4: continue on. That's why he gave that sixty day window

120
00:06:30,160 --> 00:06:32,440
Speaker 4: to get a deal done with Iran. And once sixty

121
00:06:32,520 --> 00:06:36,040
Speaker 4: days was up, the President then said, okay, and now

122
00:06:36,040 --> 00:06:38,279
Speaker 4: we're going to have to let Israel do what Israel

123
00:06:38,320 --> 00:06:41,480
Speaker 4: needs to do to protect and defend itself. Now, President

124
00:06:41,560 --> 00:06:45,240
Speaker 4: Trump also has major allies in Congress who are coming

125
00:06:45,279 --> 00:06:48,719
Speaker 4: out clearly stating that they believe the President has the

126
00:06:48,839 --> 00:06:52,800
Speaker 4: right and an obligation to protect America and take out

127
00:06:52,800 --> 00:06:57,560
Speaker 4: a RAN's nuclear program. Senator Cruz, talking with Sean Hannity earlier,

128
00:06:57,680 --> 00:06:58,400
Speaker 4: said this.

129
00:06:58,839 --> 00:07:02,960
Speaker 6: Here with reaction, Senator Ted Cruz, Senator, it is amazing.

130
00:07:03,200 --> 00:07:07,120
Speaker 6: I watched the president. You should have listened. I gave

131
00:07:07,160 --> 00:07:10,960
Speaker 6: you time. I watched the President warn the people of Tehran,

132
00:07:11,280 --> 00:07:14,320
Speaker 6: and we'll show more video of it to get out,

133
00:07:14,560 --> 00:07:18,560
Speaker 6: and there's like millions of people listening to Donald Trump.

134
00:07:18,880 --> 00:07:21,600
Speaker 6: They're not getting that message from the leadership of Iran.

135
00:07:21,640 --> 00:07:24,200
Speaker 6: They're getting it from the President of the United States,

136
00:07:24,200 --> 00:07:25,960
Speaker 6: showing that he cares about human life.

137
00:07:26,200 --> 00:07:29,520
Speaker 1: Well, listen, President Trump, throughout this conflict has been fantastic.

138
00:07:29,560 --> 00:07:32,840
Speaker 1: I spoke to the President on Sunday and just told him,

139
00:07:32,880 --> 00:07:35,440
Speaker 1: I said, your leadership has been so critical on this,

140
00:07:35,800 --> 00:07:38,840
Speaker 1: and he made clear Iran is not getting a nuclear weapon,

141
00:07:39,120 --> 00:07:42,280
Speaker 1: and he is standing with Israel. I believe our position

142
00:07:42,320 --> 00:07:45,680
Speaker 1: should be we stand unequivocally with the state of Israel.

143
00:07:45,960 --> 00:07:49,280
Speaker 1: And I'll make a point, Israel is doing an enormous

144
00:07:49,360 --> 00:07:49,880
Speaker 1: favor to.

145
00:07:49,840 --> 00:07:51,080
Speaker 2: The United States right now.

146
00:07:51,120 --> 00:07:54,320
Speaker 1: I believe the most acute near term security threat facing

147
00:07:54,360 --> 00:07:57,440
Speaker 1: America is the threat of a nuclear Iran because the

148
00:07:57,560 --> 00:08:01,760
Speaker 1: Ayatola is a religious nut case. He is a theocratic

149
00:08:02,040 --> 00:08:05,400
Speaker 1: mass murderer, and when he chants death to America and

150
00:08:05,480 --> 00:08:07,720
Speaker 1: death to Israel, he does so in front of mobs

151
00:08:07,720 --> 00:08:11,320
Speaker 1: of people. He also refers to Israel as the little

152
00:08:11,360 --> 00:08:14,120
Speaker 1: Satan and America as the Great Satan. There is a

153
00:08:14,160 --> 00:08:19,920
Speaker 1: reason the Iyatola is developing ICBMs. ICBMs are incontinental ballistic missiles.

154
00:08:20,440 --> 00:08:24,320
Speaker 1: You don't need an ICBM to bomb Israel. They're bombing

155
00:08:24,360 --> 00:08:27,880
Speaker 1: Israel with ballistic missiles. You need an ICBM to get

156
00:08:27,920 --> 00:08:32,199
Speaker 1: to America. If Iran gets a nuclear weapon, I think

157
00:08:32,200 --> 00:08:35,360
Speaker 1: the odds are unacceptably high that we would find out

158
00:08:35,400 --> 00:08:38,320
Speaker 1: with a mushroom cloud over New York City or Los

159
00:08:38,360 --> 00:08:42,080
Speaker 1: Angeles or Tel Aviv and Israel. And what Israel has

160
00:08:42,120 --> 00:08:44,000
Speaker 1: said is we are going to act. Israel is a

161
00:08:44,040 --> 00:08:46,760
Speaker 1: tiny country. It's the size of the state of New Jersey,

162
00:08:46,760 --> 00:08:50,840
Speaker 1: and they are taking out Iran's military with surgical precision.

163
00:08:50,840 --> 00:08:53,720
Speaker 1: They're taking out virtually all of the senior leaders of

164
00:08:53,720 --> 00:08:56,439
Speaker 1: the military. They're taking out their nuclear scientists, they are

165
00:08:56,559 --> 00:08:59,680
Speaker 1: leveling nuclear facilities on the ground. And I think President

166
00:08:59,720 --> 00:09:03,040
Speaker 1: Trump is exactly right to say we stand with Israel.

167
00:09:03,320 --> 00:09:05,480
Speaker 1: And I'm with a seventy five percent of Americans that

168
00:09:05,559 --> 00:09:09,640
Speaker 1: agree with the President's strong stance to keep America safe.

169
00:09:09,760 --> 00:09:12,800
Speaker 1: That's the commander in chief's number one job to protect

170
00:09:12,840 --> 00:09:14,880
Speaker 1: American lives and keep America safe.

171
00:09:15,000 --> 00:09:16,600
Speaker 2: That's what Donald Trump is doing today.

172
00:09:17,440 --> 00:09:19,800
Speaker 4: By the way, this brings me to another big story,

173
00:09:20,000 --> 00:09:22,280
Speaker 4: and it's a story that they're trying to play up

174
00:09:22,320 --> 00:09:25,680
Speaker 4: on TV the story that there's some massive divide between

175
00:09:26,120 --> 00:09:29,319
Speaker 4: the MAGA movement. There isn't actually that big of a

176
00:09:29,400 --> 00:09:32,120
Speaker 4: divide at all. The majority of people that I know

177
00:09:32,240 --> 00:09:35,800
Speaker 4: are supporting President Donald Trump and his actions, and they're

178
00:09:35,840 --> 00:09:38,400
Speaker 4: glad that we have a president that is standing up

179
00:09:38,440 --> 00:09:42,240
Speaker 4: and willing to protect and defend all of us. The Dims,

180
00:09:42,280 --> 00:09:46,560
Speaker 4: by the way, have also gone completely silent on this

181
00:09:46,840 --> 00:09:50,560
Speaker 4: Israel Iran conflict. It's a question that many of us,

182
00:09:50,679 --> 00:09:54,000
Speaker 4: and the media especially should be asking, what do you

183
00:09:54,120 --> 00:09:56,360
Speaker 4: think and why are you being so quiet?

184
00:09:56,800 --> 00:09:59,160
Speaker 2: Jesse Waters bringing that up on Fox.

185
00:09:59,559 --> 00:10:02,320
Speaker 7: Trump's consumed in one of the most consequential moments of

186
00:10:02,360 --> 00:10:07,480
Speaker 7: his presidency. Nukes, oil casualties, mid East strategy, the six

187
00:10:07,559 --> 00:10:10,520
Speaker 7: are high, and the Republican Party is having an open debate.

188
00:10:10,679 --> 00:10:13,080
Speaker 7: But the Democrat parties know where to be found. They've

189
00:10:13,120 --> 00:10:17,400
Speaker 7: gone silent during an historical moment where the leading foreign

190
00:10:17,440 --> 00:10:20,920
Speaker 7: policy voices of the Democrat Party, the strategists, the hawks,

191
00:10:20,960 --> 00:10:24,360
Speaker 7: the doves, anybody, does anybody have an opinion? Democrats don't

192
00:10:24,400 --> 00:10:26,440
Speaker 7: know what to say because they have to be told

193
00:10:26,480 --> 00:10:29,080
Speaker 7: what to say, and no one's telling them. We haven't

194
00:10:29,120 --> 00:10:31,680
Speaker 7: heard a word from Hillary, Obama, Biden, Kommel, and not

195
00:10:31,720 --> 00:10:35,079
Speaker 7: even Susan Rice or Blink and carry. Where are all

196
00:10:35,160 --> 00:10:38,880
Speaker 7: these people While Trump tries to manage wars overseas, Democrats

197
00:10:38,880 --> 00:10:41,000
Speaker 7: are trying to kick off a civil war here at home.

198
00:10:41,360 --> 00:10:44,800
Speaker 4: Jesse's absolutely right, where are the people on the left,

199
00:10:45,120 --> 00:10:47,839
Speaker 4: Which brings me to my final point. There's a very

200
00:10:47,840 --> 00:10:50,520
Speaker 4: good chance and by the time you even hear this show,

201
00:10:51,000 --> 00:10:54,000
Speaker 4: we may find out that Donald Trump has ordered our

202
00:10:54,080 --> 00:10:57,840
Speaker 4: US military to attack the nuclear sites in Iran?

203
00:10:58,200 --> 00:11:00,880
Speaker 2: And why did he do it? To protect all of us?

204
00:11:01,320 --> 00:11:06,439
Speaker 4: And that is something that every American should be proud of. Unfortunately,

205
00:11:06,480 --> 00:11:08,840
Speaker 4: there are going to be many detractors who are going

206
00:11:08,920 --> 00:11:11,360
Speaker 4: to say that Donald Trump is getting us into World

207
00:11:11,360 --> 00:11:15,480
Speaker 4: War three, when the reality is he's probably preventing it.

208
00:11:15,760 --> 00:11:17,520
Speaker 2: Now story number two, there's a.

209
00:11:17,440 --> 00:11:20,480
Speaker 4: Real chance now that the United States of America may

210
00:11:20,679 --> 00:11:24,640
Speaker 4: join Israel in the war against Iran. Now, let me

211
00:11:24,800 --> 00:11:30,280
Speaker 4: explain why this could take place so and also understand

212
00:11:30,320 --> 00:11:34,360
Speaker 4: what war means in twenty twenty five. Number one, there

213
00:11:34,440 --> 00:11:36,800
Speaker 4: is no chance that Donald Trump is going to put

214
00:11:36,960 --> 00:11:39,600
Speaker 4: troops on the ground. There will be no boots on

215
00:11:39,640 --> 00:11:42,640
Speaker 4: the ground. That is not what this means. That's number one.

216
00:11:42,840 --> 00:11:47,200
Speaker 4: Number two, this is not an invasion of Iraq or Afghanistan,

217
00:11:47,240 --> 00:11:48,959
Speaker 4: which there have been many that have been lying about

218
00:11:48,960 --> 00:11:50,120
Speaker 4: that over the last several hours.

219
00:11:50,160 --> 00:11:51,280
Speaker 2: So I want to clear that up.

220
00:11:51,320 --> 00:11:54,320
Speaker 4: In fact, I've talked to several of my good friends

221
00:11:54,320 --> 00:11:56,800
Speaker 4: that work in the administration and they're saying that is

222
00:11:57,000 --> 00:12:01,280
Speaker 4: not even a remote possibility. Donald Trump is saying to

223
00:12:01,320 --> 00:12:03,559
Speaker 4: Iran is simple surrender.

224
00:12:03,840 --> 00:12:04,360
Speaker 2: That's it.

225
00:12:05,080 --> 00:12:08,880
Speaker 4: Surrender and do the deal on your nuclear program or

226
00:12:08,920 --> 00:12:12,200
Speaker 4: prepare for your nuclear program to be annihilated. That is

227
00:12:12,280 --> 00:12:15,000
Speaker 4: what he is saying. And he's not mincing words on

228
00:12:15,040 --> 00:12:19,320
Speaker 4: this either, because as Donald Trump has said, look, we

229
00:12:19,360 --> 00:12:22,760
Speaker 4: can take total control of Iranian airspace as Israel is done,

230
00:12:23,000 --> 00:12:25,360
Speaker 4: and we also know where the Ayatota is hiding.

231
00:12:25,440 --> 00:12:27,160
Speaker 2: Now we're not going to kill him right now.

232
00:12:27,200 --> 00:12:30,160
Speaker 4: But he's telling you, Ittola, like you want to die, fine,

233
00:12:30,240 --> 00:12:31,520
Speaker 4: Like we can make that happen.

234
00:12:31,679 --> 00:12:33,679
Speaker 2: We know where you are and we can kill you.

235
00:12:33,840 --> 00:12:35,880
Speaker 4: We would rather not do that, but if you want

236
00:12:35,880 --> 00:12:38,000
Speaker 4: to stay in power, then you better do the damn deal.

237
00:12:38,200 --> 00:12:40,920
Speaker 4: And so what would this look like is I think

238
00:12:40,960 --> 00:12:44,400
Speaker 4: a better way of putting it. If we did get involved,

239
00:12:44,440 --> 00:12:48,280
Speaker 4: it would actually be very very simple. We would use

240
00:12:48,360 --> 00:12:51,360
Speaker 4: the technology that I think we're the only country that

241
00:12:51,600 --> 00:12:54,160
Speaker 4: has it to go after this nuclear site that is

242
00:12:54,440 --> 00:12:58,520
Speaker 4: very deep underground in Iran. Israel does not have the

243
00:12:58,559 --> 00:13:01,040
Speaker 4: technology to hit that deep. That's part of what you

244
00:13:01,080 --> 00:13:03,320
Speaker 4: need to understand. So again I go back to the

245
00:13:03,360 --> 00:13:05,480
Speaker 4: basic thing. Is this something that America needs?

246
00:13:05,559 --> 00:13:08,719
Speaker 2: Do? Yes? I believe that it is. I really do.

247
00:13:08,880 --> 00:13:11,960
Speaker 4: I believe this isn't our best interest for us to

248
00:13:12,040 --> 00:13:15,040
Speaker 4: make sure that there is an Iran that uh is

249
00:13:15,640 --> 00:13:19,160
Speaker 4: not nuclear right. And Donald Trump's also been clear about

250
00:13:19,160 --> 00:13:22,480
Speaker 4: this for quite some time and finked in fact, he's

251
00:13:22,520 --> 00:13:24,960
Speaker 4: he has been so clear on this since the day

252
00:13:25,040 --> 00:13:27,920
Speaker 4: came down the elevator ten years and one day ago

253
00:13:28,280 --> 00:13:30,640
Speaker 4: or ten years and two days ago, where he said

254
00:13:30,720 --> 00:13:34,280
Speaker 4: to the world that there's no circumstance where Ran can

255
00:13:34,280 --> 00:13:37,920
Speaker 4: get a nuclear weapon. There's no circumstance where Ran can

256
00:13:37,960 --> 00:13:42,199
Speaker 4: get a nuclear weapon. That is significant. And the President

257
00:13:42,280 --> 00:13:45,640
Speaker 4: is not bluffing on this, okay, Like the President has

258
00:13:45,640 --> 00:13:48,600
Speaker 4: made it very clear that you can't trust them. Now,

259
00:13:48,600 --> 00:13:51,840
Speaker 4: why can't you trust them? Because they're a murders regime,

260
00:13:52,040 --> 00:13:54,160
Speaker 4: Like that's what they are, and they chant death to

261
00:13:54,240 --> 00:13:57,480
Speaker 4: America and they chant death to Israel. So when that's

262
00:13:57,559 --> 00:14:00,480
Speaker 4: what they do and that is what they said, then

263
00:14:00,520 --> 00:14:03,080
Speaker 4: I think you just say, Okay, I actually believe you.

264
00:14:03,320 --> 00:14:04,200
Speaker 2: I believe you when.

265
00:14:04,120 --> 00:14:07,360
Speaker 4: You tell me that you want to kill innocent men, women,

266
00:14:07,480 --> 00:14:10,480
Speaker 4: children that are Americans, and you want to annihilate the Jews,

267
00:14:10,559 --> 00:14:12,520
Speaker 4: and if you have a nuclear weapon, you will either

268
00:14:12,520 --> 00:14:13,840
Speaker 4: do it or you'll give it to one of your

269
00:14:13,920 --> 00:14:16,520
Speaker 4: terrorist proxy groups that you support, and they will do it.

270
00:14:16,559 --> 00:14:19,480
Speaker 4: There's also a second part of what's happening right now

271
00:14:19,480 --> 00:14:21,360
Speaker 4: that I think people need to understand as well, and

272
00:14:21,840 --> 00:14:25,640
Speaker 4: that second part is this. The President is also I

273
00:14:25,680 --> 00:14:30,680
Speaker 4: think inspiring the people of Iran and especially specifically in Tehran,

274
00:14:30,880 --> 00:14:34,200
Speaker 4: to understand that, hey, your government may not be as

275
00:14:34,240 --> 00:14:37,880
Speaker 4: powerful as they actually have been able to make you believe.

276
00:14:38,200 --> 00:14:41,800
Speaker 4: In fact, they're incredibly vulnerable. Look at the traffic jams

277
00:14:41,800 --> 00:14:46,560
Speaker 4: and the people leaving Tehran as the President said, leave evacuate.

278
00:14:46,800 --> 00:14:50,320
Speaker 4: They weren't listening to the leadership in Iran like that's

279
00:14:50,360 --> 00:14:52,600
Speaker 4: something they were not doing. They were listening to the

280
00:14:52,600 --> 00:14:54,960
Speaker 4: American president of the United States of America, and they were

281
00:14:55,040 --> 00:14:58,360
Speaker 4: leaving because the President said to evacuate Tehran. And when

282
00:14:58,400 --> 00:15:01,120
Speaker 4: he did that, I think that also sent a veryquer

283
00:15:01,120 --> 00:15:03,840
Speaker 4: message like, Hey, your guys that claim that they're in

284
00:15:03,920 --> 00:15:05,960
Speaker 4: charge of your country, that are holding you back and

285
00:15:06,040 --> 00:15:10,560
Speaker 4: oppressing you and in our brutal dictators of a murder's regime,

286
00:15:10,640 --> 00:15:12,960
Speaker 4: like they may be a lot more vulnerable than you

287
00:15:13,120 --> 00:15:17,960
Speaker 4: actually understand. Also, having air superiority is part.

288
00:15:17,880 --> 00:15:18,600
Speaker 2: Three of this.

289
00:15:19,080 --> 00:15:23,760
Speaker 4: The fact that Iran was able to be decimated when

290
00:15:23,800 --> 00:15:28,280
Speaker 4: it comes to their air power virtually instantly by Israel,

291
00:15:28,440 --> 00:15:30,600
Speaker 4: and now Israel can do whatever they want to do

292
00:15:30,680 --> 00:15:32,640
Speaker 4: whenever they want to do it, however they want to

293
00:15:32,640 --> 00:15:33,000
Speaker 4: do it.

294
00:15:33,000 --> 00:15:35,600
Speaker 2: Over the skies of Israel, of Iran.

295
00:15:35,960 --> 00:15:40,840
Speaker 4: It is also incredibly telling, like it is unbelievable now

296
00:15:41,040 --> 00:15:44,600
Speaker 4: what we're looking at, and I mean this like it is.

297
00:15:44,680 --> 00:15:47,920
Speaker 4: It is just amazing to me that we have seen

298
00:15:48,120 --> 00:15:52,160
Speaker 4: how quickly Iran has been just decimated and now you

299
00:15:52,200 --> 00:15:54,640
Speaker 4: can do whatever you want to do. Now you put

300
00:15:54,680 --> 00:15:58,280
Speaker 4: all this together in a perfect storm where we are now.

301
00:15:58,600 --> 00:16:01,600
Speaker 4: And this is also a think a foreign policy issure.

302
00:16:01,640 --> 00:16:03,440
Speaker 4: We're sitting the president saying the message of the world

303
00:16:03,480 --> 00:16:05,960
Speaker 4: like if I tell you, whether it's tariffs or a

304
00:16:06,040 --> 00:16:08,520
Speaker 4: nuclear program, that this is the deal, and you don't

305
00:16:08,560 --> 00:16:11,680
Speaker 4: believe me. Watch how fast you find out? Like this,

306
00:16:11,680 --> 00:16:14,520
Speaker 4: this goes back to that FAFO mentality of this of

307
00:16:14,560 --> 00:16:17,640
Speaker 4: this administration, like watch and find out. You have the

308
00:16:17,680 --> 00:16:21,160
Speaker 4: President returning to Washington after cutting the G seven Canada

309
00:16:21,200 --> 00:16:24,200
Speaker 4: trip short. You have the President saying, everybody get together

310
00:16:24,200 --> 00:16:26,560
Speaker 4: in the situation room. You have the president telling that

311
00:16:26,640 --> 00:16:28,320
Speaker 4: clearly the vice president to go out and say.

312
00:16:28,120 --> 00:16:29,360
Speaker 2: Hey, we may enter this war.

313
00:16:29,600 --> 00:16:34,040
Speaker 4: All of these different scenarios and just how quickly the

314
00:16:34,080 --> 00:16:38,520
Speaker 4: President is moving, I think is just on no one.

315
00:16:38,760 --> 00:16:41,120
Speaker 4: I think believe the President would move this quick. And

316
00:16:41,160 --> 00:16:43,280
Speaker 4: I think he's shown people that like, hey, not only

317
00:16:43,280 --> 00:16:44,680
Speaker 4: are we going to move this quick, but you guys

318
00:16:44,680 --> 00:16:46,360
Speaker 4: better get the hell out of the way. Like when

319
00:16:46,400 --> 00:16:48,720
Speaker 4: I tell you something, if it's sixty days, and that

320
00:16:48,800 --> 00:16:50,800
Speaker 4: was a nice timeline that I gave you, right it was,

321
00:16:50,880 --> 00:16:52,960
Speaker 4: it really was. It was a nice timeline. And the

322
00:16:52,960 --> 00:16:55,000
Speaker 4: sixty day timeline that I gave you, you should have paid

323
00:16:55,000 --> 00:16:57,320
Speaker 4: attention and you should have listened. And if you would

324
00:16:57,360 --> 00:17:00,160
Speaker 4: have listened, then you wouldn't be in the scenario. And

325
00:17:00,200 --> 00:17:03,160
Speaker 4: so if you're the iatota right now, you may lose everything.

326
00:17:03,320 --> 00:17:05,439
Speaker 4: I think that's also part of what the present is

327
00:17:05,480 --> 00:17:07,919
Speaker 4: saying you want to lose everything. You want to lose

328
00:17:08,080 --> 00:17:10,600
Speaker 4: all your power and your life, because we know where

329
00:17:10,600 --> 00:17:13,200
Speaker 4: you are and I could kill you right now if

330
00:17:13,240 --> 00:17:16,240
Speaker 4: I want to. The Israelis could kill you right now

331
00:17:16,280 --> 00:17:17,679
Speaker 4: if they want to. There's no reason for you try

332
00:17:17,720 --> 00:17:19,199
Speaker 4: to run high because we're going to watch you. We

333
00:17:19,240 --> 00:17:21,120
Speaker 4: know where you are, we know where you're going, and

334
00:17:21,320 --> 00:17:24,080
Speaker 4: if you think for a moment that we can't kill you,

335
00:17:24,359 --> 00:17:27,239
Speaker 4: then you're an idiot. This is all part of the

336
00:17:27,280 --> 00:17:31,280
Speaker 4: presence peace through strengths, showing you here's your deadline, and

337
00:17:31,320 --> 00:17:34,440
Speaker 4: I'm not screwing around now. This deadline of sixty days

338
00:17:34,600 --> 00:17:36,600
Speaker 4: was I also think a very nice one. I really do.

339
00:17:36,880 --> 00:17:39,119
Speaker 4: I think it was a very nice deadline. It was

340
00:17:39,160 --> 00:17:41,120
Speaker 4: one that gave them not thirty days, but sixty days

341
00:17:41,160 --> 00:17:43,240
Speaker 4: to do this. I think that's a positive. Like that

342
00:17:43,560 --> 00:17:46,000
Speaker 4: was showing that he was really willing to come together

343
00:17:46,160 --> 00:17:49,520
Speaker 4: and he was really willing to have a conversation. Unfortunately,

344
00:17:49,840 --> 00:17:54,480
Speaker 4: Iran and their you know, murderous regime, for some reason,

345
00:17:54,520 --> 00:17:56,640
Speaker 4: thought they were much more powerful thany actually were. Well,

346
00:17:56,680 --> 00:17:59,119
Speaker 4: all that's been shot to hell now, like it's all

347
00:17:59,200 --> 00:18:02,000
Speaker 4: just been shot to hell, and so we're at a

348
00:18:02,080 --> 00:18:04,960
Speaker 4: point now where there are three different scenarios.

349
00:18:04,480 --> 00:18:05,600
Speaker 2: In my mind that could happen.

350
00:18:05,640 --> 00:18:08,520
Speaker 4: Okay, Number one, we could have total regime change and

351
00:18:08,640 --> 00:18:10,800
Speaker 4: ran and that could happen actually quickly if the people

352
00:18:10,880 --> 00:18:13,040
Speaker 4: rise up. Number Two, we could actually take out the

353
00:18:13,119 --> 00:18:16,320
Speaker 4: leader if we need to, or Israel could take out

354
00:18:16,400 --> 00:18:18,720
Speaker 4: the leader if he needs to, and that could be

355
00:18:18,760 --> 00:18:21,360
Speaker 4: significant as well. Or three, they come to the deal

356
00:18:21,359 --> 00:18:25,040
Speaker 4: and they surrender and then everything just calms down very quickly.

357
00:18:25,200 --> 00:18:29,600
Speaker 4: Those are three very real and very different scenarios.

358
