1 00:00:00,720 --> 00:00:02,840 Speaker 1: What intelligence do you have that Iran is building a 2 00:00:02,880 --> 00:00:05,360 Speaker 1: nuclear weapon? Your intelligence community has said they have no 3 00:00:05,440 --> 00:00:07,080 Speaker 1: evidence that they are at this point. 4 00:00:07,280 --> 00:00:10,240 Speaker 2: Well, then my intelligence community is wrong. But with the 5 00:00:10,280 --> 00:00:11,920 Speaker 2: intelligence community said. 6 00:00:11,720 --> 00:00:14,960 Speaker 1: That, you're a director of National Intelligence, Tolzi Gabbert. 7 00:00:14,760 --> 00:00:15,319 Speaker 2: She's wrong. 8 00:00:15,760 --> 00:00:19,439 Speaker 3: You're listening to the forty seven Morning Update with Ben Ferguson. 9 00:00:19,480 --> 00:00:20,919 Speaker 2: Good Saturday morning to you. 10 00:00:21,079 --> 00:00:23,680 Speaker 1: Ben Ferguson with you, and these are some of the 11 00:00:23,720 --> 00:00:26,320 Speaker 1: stories that you may have missed that we talked about 12 00:00:26,320 --> 00:00:29,640 Speaker 1: this week on the forty seven Morning Update.

Also 16 00:00:40,640 --> 00:00:43,680 Speaker 1: Donald Trump making it clear what his intentions are with 17 00:00:43,840 --> 00:00:46,880 Speaker 1: Iran and calling out the Supreme Leader as well. 18 00:00:47,000 --> 00:00:48,919 Speaker 2: We're going to break all of that down for you. 19 00:00:49,040 --> 00:00:53,519 Speaker 1: And finally, the former leadership of Iran's son telling the 20 00:00:53,600 --> 00:00:56,360 Speaker 1: people in Iran it is time for you to rise 21 00:00:56,480 --> 00:01:00,520 Speaker 1: up and topple the current regime. Is there real that 22 00:01:00,600 --> 00:01:04,520 Speaker 1: Iran's leadership could collapse? Will explain that for you as well. 23 00:01:04,640 --> 00:01:07,920 Speaker 1: It's the forty seven Morning Update and it starts right now. 24 00:01:08,040 --> 00:01:09,280 Speaker 2: Story number one. 25 00:01:09,200 --> 00:01:12,679 Speaker 1: Donald Trump speaking out very clearly that he is going 26 00:01:12,720 --> 00:01:14,800 Speaker 1: to allow Israel to do what it needs to do 27 00:01:14,880 --> 00:01:18,160 Speaker 1: to protect and defend itself. In fact, the Israeli ambassador 28 00:01:18,200 --> 00:01:21,520 Speaker 1: the UN had this to say about the difference between 29 00:01:21,520 --> 00:01:24,800 Speaker 1: what Israel is doing to Iran and what Iran is 30 00:01:24,840 --> 00:01:26,560 Speaker 1: doing to the Israeli people. 31 00:01:26,880 --> 00:01:29,520 Speaker 4: Are you confident though, that you're doing enough to make 32 00:01:29,560 --> 00:01:32,520 Speaker 4: sure that Iran is isolated, especially with the rest of 33 00:01:32,560 --> 00:01:36,280 Speaker 4: the Middle East, that Iran is here and they're here alone. Well, 34 00:01:36,360 --> 00:01:38,640 Speaker 4: I speak with many friends from the Goldfveria. They will 35 00:01:38,640 --> 00:01:41,160 Speaker 4: not say it publicly, but they are very happy to 36 00:01:41,200 --> 00:01:43,680 Speaker 4: see what we are doing now. They feel safe when 37 00:01:43,680 --> 00:01:47,760 Speaker 4: they see our aircraft flying over Tehran and targeting those 38 00:01:47,800 --> 00:01:51,800 Speaker 4: the military basis. But what happened yesterday, we are targeting 39 00:01:51,960 --> 00:01:56,600 Speaker 4: military basis, infrastructural buddistech missiles and nuclear reactors, and they 40 00:01:56,600 --> 00:02:00,680 Speaker 4: are targeting our cities, our neighborhoods. Unfortunately, last night without 41 00:02:00,680 --> 00:02:04,360 Speaker 4: a very difficult night, then people died because of those attacks. 42 00:02:04,440 --> 00:02:07,000 Speaker 4: And also tonight is going to be a hot nighting 43 00:02:07,080 --> 00:02:07,480 Speaker 4: as well. 44 00:02:07,600 --> 00:02:10,400 Speaker 1: He is absolutely right that there is a huge difference 45 00:02:10,440 --> 00:02:13,799 Speaker 1: between the two scenarios, and of course the media doing 46 00:02:13,840 --> 00:02:17,720 Speaker 1: everything they can to be apologists for Tehran. One of 47 00:02:17,800 --> 00:02:19,840 Speaker 1: the questions the president was asked on the way to 48 00:02:19,919 --> 00:02:23,639 Speaker 1: the G seven summit was this, and it's very clear 49 00:02:23,960 --> 00:02:26,840 Speaker 1: the media wants Donald Trump to tell Israel to stop 50 00:02:27,040 --> 00:02:32,520 Speaker 1: doing what they're doing. Asked, have you asked Israel to 51 00:02:32,680 --> 00:02:35,040 Speaker 1: pause their air strikes? If for a long Well, I 52 00:02:35,040 --> 00:02:37,680 Speaker 1: don't want to say as well, I don't want to 53 00:02:37,720 --> 00:02:41,320 Speaker 1: say that. After the question for the reporter, pretty clear, 54 00:02:41,960 --> 00:02:45,320 Speaker 1: mister President, have you asked Israel to pause their airstrikes 55 00:02:45,720 --> 00:02:49,160 Speaker 1: into Iran? The President not done there in his comments, 56 00:02:49,280 --> 00:02:54,040 Speaker 1: also being asked about the Israel Iran conflict and how 57 00:02:54,080 --> 00:02:58,200 Speaker 1: he would be involved almost same day, how did you 58 00:02:58,360 --> 00:02:58,880 Speaker 1: look you lot? 59 00:02:59,160 --> 00:03:02,440 Speaker 4: Well, we get along very well, and I will tell 60 00:03:02,480 --> 00:03:05,519 Speaker 4: you that I think I have great respect for each other. 61 00:03:06,880 --> 00:03:08,160 Speaker 2: Can give it? 62 00:03:08,840 --> 00:03:10,959 Speaker 1: Then you give it a new dam? 63 00:03:11,280 --> 00:03:12,600 Speaker 2: Well ahead, Well let's couple him. 64 00:03:12,639 --> 00:03:13,280 Speaker 1: It's a president. 65 00:03:13,360 --> 00:03:13,840 Speaker 3: Can you give it? 66 00:03:13,919 --> 00:03:16,360 Speaker 1: Dets of what you're doing is dec to the estimation 67 00:03:16,639 --> 00:03:18,360 Speaker 1: street between a On and Israel. 68 00:03:18,520 --> 00:03:20,720 Speaker 2: Well, I hope there's going to be a deal. I 69 00:03:20,720 --> 00:03:23,280 Speaker 2: think it's time for a deal, and we'll see what happens. 70 00:03:23,320 --> 00:03:26,160 Speaker 4: But sometimes they have to fight it out. 71 00:03:26,240 --> 00:03:28,399 Speaker 2: But we're going to see what happens. I think there's 72 00:03:28,440 --> 00:03:29,440 Speaker 2: a good chance he'll. 73 00:03:29,280 --> 00:03:31,359 Speaker 1: Be a deal. Now, we all know that President Trump 74 00:03:31,400 --> 00:03:33,080 Speaker 1: is the master of the r of the deal, and 75 00:03:33,120 --> 00:03:35,200 Speaker 1: there's a very good chance at some point he could 76 00:03:35,280 --> 00:03:38,840 Speaker 1: step in and help calm things down. But there's also 77 00:03:38,880 --> 00:03:42,160 Speaker 1: the important fact that the President clearly stands with Israel. 78 00:03:42,520 --> 00:03:45,160 Speaker 1: And yes, the media was even dumb enough to ask 79 00:03:45,240 --> 00:03:49,640 Speaker 1: him that question, and the President had a very simple response. 80 00:03:49,960 --> 00:03:53,320 Speaker 2: It doesn't defends love you deal will be you have 81 00:03:53,440 --> 00:03:57,440 Speaker 2: to set the support is real, and we do thank 82 00:03:57,480 --> 00:04:01,480 Speaker 2: you very much. We do thank you very much. 83 00:04:01,640 --> 00:04:04,760 Speaker 1: Yet again the President making it clear he stands side 84 00:04:04,760 --> 00:04:09,720 Speaker 1: by side with Israel, the people, and the leadership. Next story, 85 00:04:09,800 --> 00:04:12,400 Speaker 1: number two, there is a real chance now that the 86 00:04:12,480 --> 00:04:15,800 Speaker 1: United States of America may join Israel in the war 87 00:04:16,000 --> 00:04:20,880 Speaker 1: against Iran. Now, let me explain why this could take 88 00:04:20,920 --> 00:04:25,039 Speaker 1: place so you and also understand what war means in 89 00:04:25,120 --> 00:04:26,080 Speaker 1: twenty twenty five. 90 00:04:26,440 --> 00:04:28,200 Speaker 2: Number one, there is no. 91 00:04:28,320 --> 00:04:31,280 Speaker 1: Chance that Donald Trump is going to put troops on 92 00:04:31,320 --> 00:04:33,440 Speaker 1: the ground. There will be no boots on the ground. 93 00:04:33,720 --> 00:04:36,800 Speaker 1: That is not what this means. That's number one. Number two, 94 00:04:37,200 --> 00:04:40,880 Speaker 1: This is not an invasion of Iraq or Afghanistan, which 95 00:04:40,880 --> 00:04:42,479 Speaker 1: there have been many that have been lying about that 96 00:04:42,520 --> 00:04:44,320 Speaker 1: over the last several hours, so I want to clear 97 00:04:44,360 --> 00:04:47,159 Speaker 1: that up. In fact, I've talked to several of my 98 00:04:47,240 --> 00:04:49,800 Speaker 1: good friends that work in the administration and they're saying 99 00:04:49,839 --> 00:04:54,200 Speaker 1: that is not even a remote possibility. What Donald Trump 100 00:04:54,240 --> 00:04:57,000 Speaker 1: is saying to Iran is simple, surrender. 101 00:04:57,279 --> 00:04:57,800 Speaker 2: That's it. 102 00:04:58,520 --> 00:05:02,279 Speaker 1: Surrender and do the deal on your nuclear program or 103 00:05:02,360 --> 00:05:04,360 Speaker 1: prepare for your nuclear program. 104 00:05:04,000 --> 00:05:06,520 Speaker 2: To be annihilated. That is what he is saying. 105 00:05:06,760 --> 00:05:10,200 Speaker 1: And he's not mincing words on this either, because as 106 00:05:10,279 --> 00:05:13,159 Speaker 1: Donald Trump has said, look, we can take total control 107 00:05:13,200 --> 00:05:16,599 Speaker 1: of Iranian airspace as Israel is done, and we also 108 00:05:16,800 --> 00:05:18,240 Speaker 1: know where the Aotota is hiding. 109 00:05:18,279 --> 00:05:20,000 Speaker 2: Now we're not going to kill him right now. 110 00:05:20,040 --> 00:05:23,000 Speaker 1: But he's telling you, Ittola, like you want to die, fine, 111 00:05:23,080 --> 00:05:24,360 Speaker 1: Like we can make that happen. 112 00:05:24,520 --> 00:05:26,520 Speaker 2: We know where you are and we can kill you. 113 00:05:26,680 --> 00:05:28,720 Speaker 1: We would rather not do that, but if you want 114 00:05:28,720 --> 00:05:30,880 Speaker 1: to stand in power, then you better do the damn deal. 115 00:05:31,080 --> 00:05:33,800 Speaker 1: And so what would this look like is I think 116 00:05:33,839 --> 00:05:36,960 Speaker 1: a better way of putting it. If we did get involved, 117 00:05:37,000 --> 00:05:40,800 Speaker 1: it would actually be very very simple. We would use 118 00:05:40,920 --> 00:05:43,760 Speaker 1: the technology that I think we're the only country that 119 00:05:44,040 --> 00:05:46,480 Speaker 1: has it to go after this nuclear site that is 120 00:05:46,760 --> 00:05:50,440 Speaker 1: very deep underground in Iran. Israel does not have the 121 00:05:50,480 --> 00:05:52,960 Speaker 1: technology to hit that deep. That's part of what you 122 00:05:53,000 --> 00:05:55,240 Speaker 1: need to understand. So again I go back to the 123 00:05:55,240 --> 00:05:57,400 Speaker 1: basic thing. Is this something that America needs? 124 00:05:57,480 --> 00:06:00,320 Speaker 2: Do? Yes? I believe that it is. I've really do. 125 00:06:00,480 --> 00:06:03,560 Speaker 1: I believe this isn't our best interest for us to 126 00:06:03,640 --> 00:06:06,479 Speaker 1: make sure that there is an Iran that uh is 127 00:06:07,080 --> 00:06:10,479 Speaker 1: not nuclear right. And Donald Trump's also been clear about 128 00:06:10,520 --> 00:06:13,760 Speaker 1: this for quite some time and finked in fact, he's 129 00:06:13,800 --> 00:06:16,200 Speaker 1: he has been so clear on this since the day 130 00:06:16,279 --> 00:06:19,040 Speaker 1: came down the elevator ten years and one day ago 131 00:06:19,279 --> 00:06:21,599 Speaker 1: or ten years and two days ago, where he said 132 00:06:21,720 --> 00:06:25,160 Speaker 1: to the world that there's no circumstance where ran can 133 00:06:25,200 --> 00:06:28,560 Speaker 1: get a nuclear weapon. There's no circumstance where Ran can 134 00:06:28,600 --> 00:06:32,800 Speaker 1: get a nuclear weapon. That is significant. And the President 135 00:06:32,920 --> 00:06:36,240 Speaker 1: is not bluffing on this, okay, Like the President has 136 00:06:36,279 --> 00:06:39,240 Speaker 1: made it very clear that you can't trust them. Now, 137 00:06:39,240 --> 00:06:42,480 Speaker 1: why can't you trust them? Because they're a murders regime, 138 00:06:42,640 --> 00:06:44,839 Speaker 1: Like that's what they are, and they chant death to 139 00:06:44,839 --> 00:06:48,119 Speaker 1: America and they chant death to Israel. So when that's 140 00:06:48,160 --> 00:06:51,120 Speaker 1: what they do, and that is what they say. Then 141 00:06:51,160 --> 00:06:53,719 Speaker 1: I think you just say, Okay, I actually believe you. 142 00:06:53,960 --> 00:06:54,640 Speaker 2: I believe you. 143 00:06:54,600 --> 00:06:58,000 Speaker 1: When you tell me that you want to kill innocent men, women, 144 00:06:58,080 --> 00:07:01,080 Speaker 1: children that are Americans and you and annihilate the Jews. 145 00:07:01,200 --> 00:07:03,120 Speaker 1: And if you have a nuclear weapon, you will either 146 00:07:03,160 --> 00:07:04,480 Speaker 1: do it or you'll give it to one of your 147 00:07:04,560 --> 00:07:07,160 Speaker 1: terrorist proxy groups that you support, and they will do it. 148 00:07:07,200 --> 00:07:10,080 Speaker 1: There's also a second part of what's happening right now 149 00:07:10,120 --> 00:07:12,000 Speaker 1: that I think people need to understand as well, and 150 00:07:12,480 --> 00:07:16,280 Speaker 1: that second part is this the President is also I 151 00:07:16,280 --> 00:07:21,239 Speaker 1: think inspiring the people of Iran and especially specifically in Tehran, 152 00:07:21,520 --> 00:07:24,800 Speaker 1: to understand that, hey, your government may not be as 153 00:07:24,880 --> 00:07:28,520 Speaker 1: powerful as they actually have been able to make you believe. 154 00:07:28,800 --> 00:07:32,400 Speaker 1: In fact, they're incredibly vulnerable. Look at the traffic jams 155 00:07:32,440 --> 00:07:37,160 Speaker 1: and the people leaving Tehran as the President said, leave, evacuate. 156 00:07:37,440 --> 00:07:40,640 Speaker 1: They weren't listening to the leadership in Iran like that. 157 00:07:40,800 --> 00:07:43,080 Speaker 1: That's something they were not doing. They were listening to 158 00:07:43,120 --> 00:07:45,280 Speaker 1: the American president of the United States of America, and 159 00:07:45,320 --> 00:07:48,560 Speaker 1: they were leaving because the President said to evacuate Tehran. 160 00:07:48,720 --> 00:07:51,160 Speaker 1: And when he did that, I think that also said 161 00:07:51,200 --> 00:07:54,080 Speaker 1: a very clear message, like, Hey, your guys that claim 162 00:07:54,120 --> 00:07:56,080 Speaker 1: that they're in charge of your country, that are holding 163 00:07:56,120 --> 00:07:59,720 Speaker 1: you back and oppressing you, and in our brutal dictators 164 00:08:00,160 --> 00:08:02,520 Speaker 1: of a murder's regime, like they may be a lot 165 00:08:02,560 --> 00:08:07,680 Speaker 1: more vulnerable than you actually understand. Also, having air superiority 166 00:08:07,920 --> 00:08:12,040 Speaker 1: is part three of this, the fact that Iran was 167 00:08:12,080 --> 00:08:15,360 Speaker 1: able to be decimated when it comes to their air 168 00:08:15,480 --> 00:08:20,320 Speaker 1: power virtually instantly by Israel, and now Israel can do 169 00:08:20,440 --> 00:08:22,360 Speaker 1: whatever they want to do whenever they want to do it, 170 00:08:22,520 --> 00:08:23,600 Speaker 1: however they want to do it. 171 00:08:23,600 --> 00:08:26,239 Speaker 2: Over the skies of Israel, of Iran. 172 00:08:26,560 --> 00:08:31,480 Speaker 1: It is also incredibly telling, like it is unbelievable now 173 00:08:31,640 --> 00:08:34,880 Speaker 1: what we're looking at, and I mean this like it 174 00:08:35,040 --> 00:08:38,960 Speaker 1: is just amazing to me that we have seen how 175 00:08:39,080 --> 00:08:43,000 Speaker 1: quickly Iran has been just decimated and now you can 176 00:08:43,040 --> 00:08:45,439 Speaker 1: do whatever you want to do. Now you put all 177 00:08:45,520 --> 00:08:48,920 Speaker 1: this together in a perfect storm where we are now. 178 00:08:49,200 --> 00:08:52,240 Speaker 1: And this is also I think a foreign policy issuer. 179 00:08:52,280 --> 00:08:54,040 Speaker 1: We're sitting the presence of the message of the world, 180 00:08:54,120 --> 00:08:56,599 Speaker 1: Like if I tell you, whether it's tariffs or a 181 00:08:56,679 --> 00:08:59,160 Speaker 1: nuclear program, that this is the deal, and you don't 182 00:08:59,160 --> 00:09:02,720 Speaker 1: believe me, how fast you find out Like this goes 183 00:09:02,760 --> 00:09:06,000 Speaker 1: back to that FAFO mentality of this of this administration, 184 00:09:06,280 --> 00:09:09,120 Speaker 1: like Watch and find out. You have the President returning 185 00:09:09,120 --> 00:09:12,480 Speaker 1: to Washington after cutting the G seven Canada trip short. 186 00:09:12,600 --> 00:09:15,000 Speaker 1: You have the President saying, everybody get together in the 187 00:09:15,000 --> 00:09:17,599 Speaker 1: situation room. You have the president telling that clearly the 188 00:09:17,720 --> 00:09:19,000 Speaker 1: vice president to go out and say, hey. 189 00:09:18,880 --> 00:09:20,000 Speaker 2: We may enter this war. 190 00:09:20,240 --> 00:09:24,679 Speaker 1: All of these different scenarios and just how quickly the 191 00:09:24,720 --> 00:09:29,160 Speaker 1: President is moving I think is just on no one 192 00:09:29,400 --> 00:09:31,720 Speaker 1: I think believe the President would move this quick. And 193 00:09:31,800 --> 00:09:33,880 Speaker 1: I think he's shown people that like, hey, not only 194 00:09:33,920 --> 00:09:35,320 Speaker 1: are we going to move this quick, but you guys 195 00:09:35,320 --> 00:09:37,000 Speaker 1: better get the hell out of the way. Like when 196 00:09:37,040 --> 00:09:39,320 Speaker 1: I tell you something, if it's sixty days, and that 197 00:09:39,440 --> 00:09:41,440 Speaker 1: was a nice timeline that I gave you, right, it was, 198 00:09:41,480 --> 00:09:43,560 Speaker 1: it really was. It was a nice timeline. And the 199 00:09:43,600 --> 00:09:45,400 Speaker 1: sixty day timeline that I gave you, you should have 200 00:09:45,400 --> 00:09:47,679 Speaker 1: paid attention and you should have listened. And if you 201 00:09:47,720 --> 00:09:50,440 Speaker 1: would have listened, then you wouldn't be in the scenario. 202 00:09:50,600 --> 00:09:52,559 Speaker 1: And so if you're the iatota right now, you may 203 00:09:52,600 --> 00:09:55,440 Speaker 1: lose everything. I think that's also part of what the 204 00:09:55,480 --> 00:09:58,120 Speaker 1: President is saying. You want to lose everything, You want 205 00:09:58,120 --> 00:10:00,760 Speaker 1: to lose all your power and your life because we 206 00:10:00,840 --> 00:10:03,439 Speaker 1: know where you are and I could kill you right 207 00:10:03,480 --> 00:10:06,400 Speaker 1: now if I want to. The Israelis could kill you 208 00:10:06,520 --> 00:10:08,040 Speaker 1: right now if they want to. There's no reason for 209 00:10:08,040 --> 00:10:09,720 Speaker 1: you trying to run high because we're going to watch you. 210 00:10:09,760 --> 00:10:11,360 Speaker 1: We know where you are, we know where you're going, 211 00:10:11,600 --> 00:10:14,280 Speaker 1: and if you think for a moment that we can't 212 00:10:14,360 --> 00:10:17,640 Speaker 1: kill you, then you're an idiot. This is all part 213 00:10:17,679 --> 00:10:21,959 Speaker 1: of the presence piece, three strengths, showing you here's your deadline, and. 214 00:10:21,960 --> 00:10:23,319 Speaker 2: I'm not screwing around now. 215 00:10:23,480 --> 00:10:25,960 Speaker 1: This deadline of sixty days was I also think a 216 00:10:26,040 --> 00:10:26,640 Speaker 1: very nice one. 217 00:10:26,720 --> 00:10:27,240 Speaker 2: I really do. 218 00:10:27,520 --> 00:10:29,760 Speaker 1: I think it was a very nice deadline. It was 219 00:10:29,800 --> 00:10:31,760 Speaker 1: one that gave them not thirty days, but sixty days 220 00:10:31,800 --> 00:10:33,839 Speaker 1: to do this. I think that's a positive. Like that 221 00:10:34,200 --> 00:10:36,640 Speaker 1: was showing that he was really willing to come together 222 00:10:36,800 --> 00:10:40,160 Speaker 1: and he was really willing to have a conversation. Unfortunately, 223 00:10:40,480 --> 00:10:45,120 Speaker 1: Iran and their you know, murderous regime, for some reason, 224 00:10:45,160 --> 00:10:47,240 Speaker 1: thought they were much more powerful they actually were. Well, 225 00:10:47,280 --> 00:10:49,680 Speaker 1: all that's been shot to hell now, like it's all 226 00:10:49,840 --> 00:10:52,640 Speaker 1: just been shot to hell, and so we're at a 227 00:10:52,679 --> 00:10:55,640 Speaker 1: point now where there are three different scenarios. 228 00:10:55,120 --> 00:10:56,559 Speaker 2: In my mind that could happen okay. 229 00:10:56,679 --> 00:10:59,439 Speaker 1: Number one, we could have total regime change in Iran 230 00:10:59,480 --> 00:11:01,400 Speaker 1: and that could happen and actually quickly if the people 231 00:11:01,520 --> 00:11:03,680 Speaker 1: rise up. Number two, we could actually take out the 232 00:11:03,760 --> 00:11:06,920 Speaker 1: leader if we need to, or Israel could take out 233 00:11:07,000 --> 00:11:09,280 Speaker 1: the leader if he needs to, and that could be 234 00:11:09,360 --> 00:11:12,000 Speaker 1: significant as well. Or three they come to the deal 235 00:11:12,000 --> 00:11:15,640 Speaker 1: and they surrender and then everything just calms down very quickly. 236 00:11:15,840 --> 00:11:20,239 Speaker 1: Those are three very real and very different scenarios. 237 00:11:20,559 --> 00:11:22,320 Speaker 2: And here is story number three. 238 00:11:22,400 --> 00:11:26,960 Speaker 1: The exiled Crown Prince is now saying the Islamic Republic 239 00:11:27,120 --> 00:11:31,079 Speaker 1: is collapsing as we speak in Iran. The exiled Crown 240 00:11:31,240 --> 00:11:34,640 Speaker 1: Prince of Iran and son of the last Persian Shah 241 00:11:34,880 --> 00:11:38,160 Speaker 1: urged Iranians on Tuesday to prepare for the impeding fall 242 00:11:38,240 --> 00:11:42,040 Speaker 1: of the Supreme Leader and the Islamic Republic as the 243 00:11:42,080 --> 00:11:45,640 Speaker 1: country struggles to fight off attacks from Israel, saying this, 244 00:11:46,080 --> 00:11:48,880 Speaker 1: the Islamic Republic has reached its end and is in 245 00:11:48,920 --> 00:11:52,480 Speaker 1: the process of collapsing. The Supreme Leader is like a 246 00:11:52,559 --> 00:11:55,679 Speaker 1: frightened rat. He has gone into hiding underground and has 247 00:11:55,720 --> 00:11:59,479 Speaker 1: lost control of the situation. What has begun is irreversible, 248 00:12:00,400 --> 00:12:03,520 Speaker 1: is bright, and together we will pass through this sharp turn. 249 00:12:03,720 --> 00:12:04,439 Speaker 2: In history. 250 00:12:04,559 --> 00:12:07,720 Speaker 1: Now, the military conflict between Iran and Israel stretched into 251 00:12:07,760 --> 00:12:10,920 Speaker 1: its sixth day with little signs of slowing down as 252 00:12:10,960 --> 00:12:15,280 Speaker 1: Israel is continuing to hammer Tehran's nuclear pursuits. Now, the 253 00:12:15,320 --> 00:12:18,679 Speaker 1: former shaw of Iran sun and he knows a lot 254 00:12:18,720 --> 00:12:21,640 Speaker 1: about when your time's up. They ruled Iran from nineteen 255 00:12:21,679 --> 00:12:24,440 Speaker 1: twenty five to nineteen seventy nine. That's when it was 256 00:12:24,520 --> 00:12:27,560 Speaker 1: overthrown in the Islamic Revolution. That is when the around 257 00:12:27,600 --> 00:12:31,280 Speaker 1: hostage crisis also happened, when they took American hostages at 258 00:12:31,280 --> 00:12:34,360 Speaker 1: our embassy. And he went on to social media in 259 00:12:34,520 --> 00:12:37,920 Speaker 1: English and Farsi and directed the messages to his fellow 260 00:12:38,040 --> 00:12:42,720 Speaker 1: countrymen and encouraged a full out uprising, saying this now 261 00:12:42,840 --> 00:12:45,640 Speaker 1: is the time to rise, the time to reclaim Iran. 262 00:12:45,880 --> 00:12:48,720 Speaker 1: Let us all come forward and bring about the end 263 00:12:48,800 --> 00:12:51,200 Speaker 1: of this regime. He also advised that there is a 264 00:12:51,240 --> 00:12:54,200 Speaker 1: plan to establish a democratic government in Iran within one 265 00:12:54,280 --> 00:12:57,400 Speaker 1: hundred days of the collapse of the Islamic Republic. He 266 00:12:57,480 --> 00:13:02,600 Speaker 1: also urged military, law enforcement, security forces, and state employees 267 00:13:02,640 --> 00:13:05,960 Speaker 1: to join the effort to topple the government under the 268 00:13:06,040 --> 00:13:09,480 Speaker 1: leadership that is currently there in Iran, saying this do 269 00:13:09,600 --> 00:13:12,160 Speaker 1: not stand against the Iranian people for the sake of 270 00:13:12,160 --> 00:13:16,160 Speaker 1: a regime whose fall has begun and is inevitable. Do 271 00:13:16,280 --> 00:13:20,560 Speaker 1: not sacrifice yourselves for a decaying regime. By standing with 272 00:13:20,640 --> 00:13:24,000 Speaker 1: the people, you can save your lives, play an historic 273 00:13:24,120 --> 00:13:27,440 Speaker 1: role in the transformation of the Islamic Republic, and take 274 00:13:27,480 --> 00:13:31,000 Speaker 1: part in building the future of Iran. Now you hear this, 275 00:13:31,360 --> 00:13:33,840 Speaker 1: and is it real? There's a chance that all of 276 00:13:33,880 --> 00:13:37,080 Speaker 1: it could come cut tumbling down around the leadership in Iran. Yes, 277 00:13:37,440 --> 00:13:40,080 Speaker 1: Why because we know that the leader of Iran is 278 00:13:40,280 --> 00:13:44,000 Speaker 1: in hiding. We also know that millions of people in 279 00:13:44,040 --> 00:13:48,440 Speaker 1: Iran fled Tehran when Donald Trump said you need to leave. 280 00:13:48,640 --> 00:13:53,200 Speaker 1: Now another example of just how fragile the current regime 281 00:13:53,280 --> 00:13:55,800 Speaker 1: may be. And finally, a lot of the people that 282 00:13:55,880 --> 00:13:58,440 Speaker 1: were afraid of the regime may realize they're not as 283 00:13:58,520 --> 00:14:02,520 Speaker 1: powerful as they thought, especially knowing the air superiority was 284 00:14:02,880 --> 00:14:06,959 Speaker 1: toppled in a matter of hours by Israel, and Israel 285 00:14:07,080 --> 00:14:09,520 Speaker 1: can do basically whatever they want to do from the 286 00:14:09,559 --> 00:14:13,080 Speaker 1: skies right now. So, yes, there's a lot of reasons 287 00:14:13,160 --> 00:14:17,040 Speaker 1: to give diplomacy and other things like this a few 288 00:14:17,040 --> 00:14:20,200 Speaker 1: more days before the present makes a decision, and that 289 00:14:20,360 --> 00:14:24,440 Speaker 1: clearly is good for all Americans and also the Middle East. 290 00:14:24,640 --> 00:14:27,320 Speaker 3: Thank you for listening to the forty seven Morning Update 291 00:14:27,480 --> 00:14:31,560 Speaker 3: with Ben Ferguson.
