1 00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:03,520 Speaker 1: Well, well, come in to your sentence. 2 00:00:05,160 --> 00:00:08,280 Speaker 2: I wanna way I get sing you a conscious sound? 3 00:00:09,520 --> 00:00:10,079 Speaker 2: Will I be? 4 00:00:14,880 --> 00:00:17,720 Speaker 1: And if you want a little banging come along. 5 00:00:18,520 --> 00:00:24,079 Speaker 2: Israel launched Operation Rising Lion, targeted military operation to roll 6 00:00:24,160 --> 00:00:28,360 Speaker 2: back the Uranian threat to Israel's very survival. This operation 7 00:00:28,440 --> 00:00:30,960 Speaker 2: will continue for as many days as it takes. 8 00:00:31,240 --> 00:00:35,600 Speaker 1: Democracy is under assault before our eyes. This moment we 9 00:00:35,720 --> 00:00:39,120 Speaker 1: have feared has arrived. Can you compare them to those 10 00:00:39,520 --> 00:00:41,080 Speaker 1: nondescript dougs? 11 00:00:41,400 --> 00:00:45,960 Speaker 3: It does look like a Gestapo operation. Freedom is back 12 00:00:46,040 --> 00:00:53,519 Speaker 3: in style, Welcome to the revolution, Coming to your sentence? 13 00:00:55,520 --> 00:00:58,280 Speaker 4: A way I get you a conscious sound? 14 00:01:00,320 --> 00:01:04,600 Speaker 1: The New Sean Hannity Show, more him the scenes, information 15 00:01:04,800 --> 00:01:10,120 Speaker 1: on freaking news and more bold inspired solutions for America. 16 00:01:11,000 --> 00:01:13,559 Speaker 1: Right Hour two Sean Hannity Show, eight hundred and ninety 17 00:01:13,560 --> 00:01:15,320 Speaker 1: four one Shawn or number you want to be a 18 00:01:15,560 --> 00:01:19,280 Speaker 1: part of the program. Prime Minister Benjamin at Yahuan Fox 19 00:01:19,319 --> 00:01:24,000 Speaker 1: with special report and Bretbair being very very clear that 20 00:01:24,600 --> 00:01:28,399 Speaker 1: they launched this operation because Iran was rushing to weaponize 21 00:01:28,520 --> 00:01:32,840 Speaker 1: enriched uranium. We see and you know when I was 22 00:01:32,959 --> 00:01:35,520 Speaker 1: I keep going back to one of my trips to Israel. 23 00:01:35,760 --> 00:01:40,240 Speaker 1: The small town bordered town with kauzovs stot is what 24 00:01:40,280 --> 00:01:43,480 Speaker 1: it's called. And they had when I had gone back there. 25 00:01:43,520 --> 00:01:46,440 Speaker 1: This is a long time ago. They had been hit 26 00:01:46,440 --> 00:01:49,160 Speaker 1: with ten thousand missiles in ten years, one little town. 27 00:01:50,000 --> 00:01:52,960 Speaker 1: How many missiles would it take to be fired into 28 00:01:53,040 --> 00:01:57,320 Speaker 1: the US before you would want your government to do something? Anyway, 29 00:01:57,360 --> 00:01:59,680 Speaker 1: Here's why he says he launched this operation. 30 00:02:00,640 --> 00:02:03,720 Speaker 4: Why did you launch this operation now? 31 00:02:04,240 --> 00:02:09,080 Speaker 2: Because we were facing an imminent threat, a dual existential threat. 32 00:02:09,240 --> 00:02:13,560 Speaker 2: One the thread of Iran rushing to weaponize. They're enrich 33 00:02:13,720 --> 00:02:17,639 Speaker 2: uranium to make atomic bombs, the specific and declared intent 34 00:02:17,760 --> 00:02:21,840 Speaker 2: to destroy US. Second, a rush to increase their ballistic 35 00:02:21,880 --> 00:02:25,359 Speaker 2: missile arsenal into the capacity that they would have thirty 36 00:02:25,360 --> 00:02:28,680 Speaker 2: six hundred weapons a year, new weapons within three years, 37 00:02:29,000 --> 00:02:32,760 Speaker 2: ten thousand ballistic missiles, each one weighing a ton, coming 38 00:02:32,760 --> 00:02:35,280 Speaker 2: in at mock six right into our cities as you 39 00:02:35,320 --> 00:02:39,200 Speaker 2: saw today, and then in twenty in six years, twenty thousand. 40 00:02:39,600 --> 00:02:42,160 Speaker 2: That's a no country I can sustain that, and certainly 41 00:02:42,160 --> 00:02:44,080 Speaker 2: not a country the size of Israel. So we had 42 00:02:44,120 --> 00:02:46,640 Speaker 2: to act was the twelfth hour. We did act to 43 00:02:46,680 --> 00:02:50,120 Speaker 2: save ourselves, but also I think to not only protect ourselves, 44 00:02:50,120 --> 00:02:54,440 Speaker 2: but protect the world from this incendiary regime. We can't 45 00:02:54,480 --> 00:02:57,280 Speaker 2: have the world's most dangerous regime have the world's most 46 00:02:57,320 --> 00:03:00,359 Speaker 2: dangerous weapons. Were protecting ourselves, but by doing so, we're 47 00:03:00,360 --> 00:03:01,760 Speaker 2: protecting many others. 48 00:03:02,000 --> 00:03:05,160 Speaker 1: Now the Prime Minister rightly has pointed out, yeah, they've 49 00:03:05,200 --> 00:03:09,079 Speaker 1: got you know, thousands, at least two thousand according to reports, 50 00:03:09,480 --> 00:03:12,600 Speaker 1: ballistic missiles. We see them being fired. The Iron Dome 51 00:03:12,639 --> 00:03:15,760 Speaker 1: has done a great job, but it's not perfect in 52 00:03:15,840 --> 00:03:18,880 Speaker 1: terms of stopping it. But the production. I kind of 53 00:03:18,960 --> 00:03:22,600 Speaker 1: view this as their increased production and ballistic missiles with 54 00:03:22,720 --> 00:03:27,200 Speaker 1: the hope of doubling their how lethal they are from 55 00:03:27,200 --> 00:03:31,680 Speaker 1: two thousand pounds to four thousand pounds as Plan B 56 00:03:32,400 --> 00:03:36,080 Speaker 1: because the Iranians there are a lot of things. They're evil, 57 00:03:36,160 --> 00:03:40,120 Speaker 1: for sure, but they're not stupid, and they knew the 58 00:03:40,240 --> 00:03:44,839 Speaker 1: likelihood of their nuclear program existing was diminishing by the day. 59 00:03:45,640 --> 00:03:48,560 Speaker 1: And I'll just quote President Trump for those people who 60 00:03:48,640 --> 00:03:51,200 Speaker 1: say they want peace, you cannot have peace of Iran 61 00:03:51,280 --> 00:03:54,880 Speaker 1: has a nuclear weapon. So for all those wonderful people 62 00:03:54,920 --> 00:03:57,720 Speaker 1: who don't want to do anything about Iran having a 63 00:03:57,800 --> 00:04:01,160 Speaker 1: nuclear weapon, that's not peace. Often said that you don't 64 00:04:01,200 --> 00:04:04,160 Speaker 1: define peace as the absence of conflict or the absence 65 00:04:04,200 --> 00:04:08,040 Speaker 1: of war. You define it as the ability to defend yourself, 66 00:04:08,040 --> 00:04:12,040 Speaker 1: and in this case it's a preventative measure before you 67 00:04:12,120 --> 00:04:14,560 Speaker 1: are literally the war would be held hostage by a 68 00:04:14,640 --> 00:04:18,280 Speaker 1: nuclear armed Iran. But yes, it's very consistent with my 69 00:04:19,279 --> 00:04:22,240 Speaker 1: ideology and my philosophy. You can no longer have these 70 00:04:22,279 --> 00:04:25,880 Speaker 1: forever wars. Is not a single country in the Middle 71 00:04:25,920 --> 00:04:30,920 Speaker 1: East that wants the Iranians with nuclear weapons, and they 72 00:04:30,960 --> 00:04:34,440 Speaker 1: have rained down through their proxies and themselves, hundreds of 73 00:04:34,480 --> 00:04:38,880 Speaker 1: thousands of missiles on Israel. At what point does Israel 74 00:04:38,960 --> 00:04:41,040 Speaker 1: have the right to say enough is enough? How many 75 00:04:41,080 --> 00:04:43,920 Speaker 1: missiles would it take fired into the United States before 76 00:04:44,600 --> 00:04:49,960 Speaker 1: every American would demand rightly so that we neutralize any 77 00:04:49,960 --> 00:04:54,120 Speaker 1: country that's involved. Now we are in a new era, 78 00:04:54,839 --> 00:04:57,480 Speaker 1: and I keep talking about the next generation of weaponry, 79 00:04:57,480 --> 00:04:59,920 Speaker 1: and I keep talking about how future wars will be 80 00:05:00,120 --> 00:05:04,080 Speaker 1: fought in their conditioned offices and not on a battlefield. 81 00:05:04,680 --> 00:05:08,360 Speaker 1: And we see this unfolding in real time, which means 82 00:05:08,360 --> 00:05:11,440 Speaker 1: that for those people that worry about quote the quagmire 83 00:05:11,839 --> 00:05:16,160 Speaker 1: you know argument or forever war argument, well, the Israelis 84 00:05:16,200 --> 00:05:20,240 Speaker 1: already own the skies over all of Iran. This is 85 00:05:20,360 --> 00:05:22,240 Speaker 1: this is this is a one side and fight at 86 00:05:22,240 --> 00:05:26,240 Speaker 1: this point. Now, that doesn't mitigate the danger, the dangers 87 00:05:26,240 --> 00:05:30,320 Speaker 1: to our troops in the region. That doesn't mitigate, you know, 88 00:05:30,480 --> 00:05:34,160 Speaker 1: the the other dangers associated with the ballistic missiles that 89 00:05:34,200 --> 00:05:37,000 Speaker 1: they have, both short range and long range, and the 90 00:05:37,080 --> 00:05:40,240 Speaker 1: letality of all of that. But what is it going 91 00:05:40,279 --> 00:05:42,440 Speaker 1: to be like six months from now, a year from 92 00:05:42,560 --> 00:05:45,359 Speaker 1: now if they have the ten thousand weapons that the 93 00:05:45,360 --> 00:05:50,240 Speaker 1: Prime Minister's talking about and maybe nuclear capability. Now there's 94 00:05:50,720 --> 00:05:53,880 Speaker 1: uh anyway for Ambassador Nathan Sales is with us. He 95 00:05:53,960 --> 00:05:57,120 Speaker 1: served in the first Trump administration as Ambassador at large 96 00:05:57,400 --> 00:06:01,760 Speaker 1: but counter terrorism acting under Secretary State. Is there anything 97 00:06:01,800 --> 00:06:03,400 Speaker 1: I'm saying here that you disagree with? 98 00:06:03,680 --> 00:06:06,360 Speaker 3: God, it sounds like you're angling for an apployment at 99 00:06:06,360 --> 00:06:08,599 Speaker 3: the State's Department. I'd love to have what you just 100 00:06:08,680 --> 00:06:12,800 Speaker 3: said reflected among America's diplomatic corps. I think you're spot on. 101 00:06:14,080 --> 00:06:16,800 Speaker 3: I Ran as a threat not just to Israel, not 102 00:06:16,839 --> 00:06:18,720 Speaker 3: even just to the region. They're a threat to the 103 00:06:18,800 --> 00:06:22,560 Speaker 3: United States and that has to be the guiding star 104 00:06:22,920 --> 00:06:26,720 Speaker 3: of US policy. Over the next couple of weeks, we're 105 00:06:26,720 --> 00:06:30,360 Speaker 3: starting to see some of Israel's on again, off again 106 00:06:30,480 --> 00:06:33,800 Speaker 3: friends in the West starting to waiver. There's some chatter 107 00:06:33,960 --> 00:06:36,839 Speaker 3: as the G seven summit up in Canada kicks off 108 00:06:36,839 --> 00:06:40,440 Speaker 3: today that the G seven might call for de escalation, 109 00:06:41,240 --> 00:06:45,320 Speaker 3: and President Trump rightly has said not signing that, and 110 00:06:45,400 --> 00:06:50,480 Speaker 3: good because our policy should be help Israel do what 111 00:06:50,480 --> 00:06:53,360 Speaker 3: it needs to do to finish the job with a 112 00:06:53,440 --> 00:06:58,400 Speaker 3: minimum of henpecking and ankle biting from other countries in 113 00:06:58,440 --> 00:07:02,640 Speaker 3: the West. It's always been important for Israel to be 114 00:07:02,640 --> 00:07:06,360 Speaker 3: able to neutralize the threat that Iran poses, but especially 115 00:07:06,400 --> 00:07:09,600 Speaker 3: so now you've got to finish the job because imagine 116 00:07:09,640 --> 00:07:13,400 Speaker 3: how motivated Iran will be after this war ends to 117 00:07:13,440 --> 00:07:15,680 Speaker 3: get a nuclear weapon, because that's going to be their 118 00:07:15,720 --> 00:07:20,000 Speaker 3: insurance policy. So you can't leave any element of the 119 00:07:20,080 --> 00:07:23,080 Speaker 3: nuclear program behind because the Iranians are going to take 120 00:07:23,120 --> 00:07:26,400 Speaker 3: that seed and then grow it into a huge tree 121 00:07:26,440 --> 00:07:30,040 Speaker 3: if given the opportunity. So, whether it's through military force 122 00:07:30,200 --> 00:07:34,200 Speaker 3: or whether it's through tough diplomacy, this war needs to 123 00:07:34,360 --> 00:07:36,840 Speaker 3: end with Iran completely disarmed. 124 00:07:37,040 --> 00:07:40,640 Speaker 1: Well, and look, it's an existential threat not only to 125 00:07:40,720 --> 00:07:43,080 Speaker 1: the region but to the world. And this you know, 126 00:07:43,440 --> 00:07:45,840 Speaker 1: a lot of people seem to have forgotten. But if 127 00:07:45,880 --> 00:07:48,679 Speaker 1: you go back to April of twenty five this year, 128 00:07:49,160 --> 00:07:51,640 Speaker 1: you know it's a little ironic President Trump is you know, 129 00:07:53,000 --> 00:07:55,160 Speaker 1: you know, there was one report that he pulled the 130 00:07:55,200 --> 00:08:00,480 Speaker 1: plug on Iran's Supreme leader to take cam out. I'm 131 00:08:00,480 --> 00:08:02,640 Speaker 1: not sure if I actually believe everything I read, but 132 00:08:02,720 --> 00:08:06,800 Speaker 1: putting that aside, considering if you go back, you know, 133 00:08:07,320 --> 00:08:10,800 Speaker 1: according to the Persian language article published by one of 134 00:08:10,840 --> 00:08:14,200 Speaker 1: their local papers, Trump is out of line any day 135 00:08:14,240 --> 00:08:17,960 Speaker 1: now and revenge for the bloody martyr Solamani, A few 136 00:08:18,000 --> 00:08:20,720 Speaker 1: bullets are going to be fired into that empty skull 137 00:08:20,760 --> 00:08:23,440 Speaker 1: of his and he'll be drinking from the chalice of 138 00:08:23,480 --> 00:08:26,720 Speaker 1: a cursed death. And so I'm not sure if I 139 00:08:26,760 --> 00:08:30,160 Speaker 1: believe the report that he vetoed a plan to assassinate 140 00:08:30,240 --> 00:08:35,600 Speaker 1: Iran Supreme Supreme Leader. Israeli airstrikes did target one of 141 00:08:35,840 --> 00:08:39,760 Speaker 1: Iran's largest oil refineries. I think that was a message 142 00:08:39,760 --> 00:08:43,800 Speaker 1: that we can take out your entire ability to make money. Also, 143 00:08:44,360 --> 00:08:48,600 Speaker 1: not just your nuclear sites, not your missile battery systems, 144 00:08:48,600 --> 00:08:51,200 Speaker 1: which they've gotten about a third of here. Still is 145 00:08:51,240 --> 00:08:54,200 Speaker 1: a threat to the region, and that includes American troops 146 00:08:54,200 --> 00:08:57,120 Speaker 1: in the region. I don't want people to think that 147 00:08:57,240 --> 00:08:59,280 Speaker 1: this is, you know, a cake walk, because it's not. 148 00:09:00,800 --> 00:09:03,680 Speaker 1: But it's a matter of be to act now or 149 00:09:03,720 --> 00:09:07,520 Speaker 1: do you risk you know, they what we as a 150 00:09:07,559 --> 00:09:10,960 Speaker 1: world might be facing later and I'm not willing to 151 00:09:11,000 --> 00:09:13,120 Speaker 1: take that risk for our children and grandchildren. 152 00:09:13,600 --> 00:09:17,720 Speaker 3: Well, that's exactly right, Sean. For the past twenty plus years, 153 00:09:18,360 --> 00:09:21,440 Speaker 3: Israel has lived with a sort of damocles hanging over it, 154 00:09:21,880 --> 00:09:25,239 Speaker 3: and not just Israel, but the Saudis, the Bahraini's, the Amoradis, 155 00:09:25,320 --> 00:09:28,320 Speaker 3: others in the Gulf, and ultimately the United States. And 156 00:09:28,360 --> 00:09:32,400 Speaker 3: that sort of damoicles is the risk that Iran will 157 00:09:33,000 --> 00:09:35,760 Speaker 3: develop a nuclear weapon that it will use to hold 158 00:09:36,160 --> 00:09:39,200 Speaker 3: the entire region hostage. You know, they keep channing death 159 00:09:39,240 --> 00:09:42,240 Speaker 3: to America. They've been channing that since the revolution back 160 00:09:42,240 --> 00:09:45,240 Speaker 3: in nineteen seventy nine. We don't want to find out 161 00:09:45,480 --> 00:09:48,600 Speaker 3: if it's just rhetoric. We have to assume that they 162 00:09:48,640 --> 00:09:52,280 Speaker 3: mean it when they say it. And from that realization 163 00:09:52,520 --> 00:09:55,400 Speaker 3: follows a really important point. They can never have the 164 00:09:55,440 --> 00:09:58,040 Speaker 3: world's most dangerous regime, can never have the world's most 165 00:09:58,080 --> 00:10:02,320 Speaker 3: dangerous weapon, and that's the only reason they could have. 166 00:10:02,760 --> 00:10:04,880 Speaker 3: The nuclear enrichment program. 167 00:10:04,520 --> 00:10:11,000 Speaker 5: They've enriched so far up to sixty percent purity. Nobody 168 00:10:11,040 --> 00:10:14,760 Speaker 5: who has a peaceful nuclear power program needs that kind 169 00:10:14,840 --> 00:10:17,920 Speaker 5: of concentration of the uranium. The only reason you could 170 00:10:17,960 --> 00:10:21,000 Speaker 5: have that is because you want to preserve a pathway 171 00:10:21,040 --> 00:10:23,560 Speaker 5: to a bomb. And so when the moments sit down 172 00:10:23,600 --> 00:10:26,240 Speaker 5: at the negotiating table and say, well, we just want 173 00:10:26,559 --> 00:10:30,319 Speaker 5: a peaceful program for power purposes. 174 00:10:29,920 --> 00:10:33,320 Speaker 1: Or they were offered that in negotiations, I know that 175 00:10:33,400 --> 00:10:37,040 Speaker 1: for a fact they were offered they could have the 176 00:10:37,559 --> 00:10:44,079 Speaker 1: enriched rods for a peaceful power nuclear program, which is 177 00:10:44,200 --> 00:10:47,240 Speaker 1: it's nowhere near sixty percent. But when they're enriching the 178 00:10:47,360 --> 00:10:51,319 Speaker 1: uranium and they don't have anywhere anyplace anytime, American inspectors, 179 00:10:52,200 --> 00:10:54,600 Speaker 1: we know that they've always been further along in their 180 00:10:54,679 --> 00:10:59,520 Speaker 1: program than is publicly known, and we see what we see, 181 00:10:59,559 --> 00:11:03,280 Speaker 1: how they terrorize the entire region. You know, what's surprising 182 00:11:03,320 --> 00:11:06,600 Speaker 1: to me is like I'm like, you know, but break 183 00:11:06,640 --> 00:11:09,720 Speaker 1: this down to a very simple equation. How many missiles 184 00:11:09,760 --> 00:11:12,000 Speaker 1: would have to be fired into an American town or 185 00:11:12,040 --> 00:11:16,200 Speaker 1: city by a foreign entity before you'd want America to react? 186 00:11:16,640 --> 00:11:19,000 Speaker 1: You know, how many how many times does a neighbor 187 00:11:19,120 --> 00:11:21,320 Speaker 1: have to punch you in the face and break your 188 00:11:21,360 --> 00:11:24,959 Speaker 1: windows and attack your house before you're gonna want to 189 00:11:25,400 --> 00:11:28,360 Speaker 1: You're gonna want to retaliate. And it's really that simple. 190 00:11:28,679 --> 00:11:31,840 Speaker 1: Does does Sean Hannity want to forever war? Absolutely not. 191 00:11:32,360 --> 00:11:32,440 Speaker 4: Do. 192 00:11:32,520 --> 00:11:36,679 Speaker 1: I want this specific threat, with this evil regime that 193 00:11:36,720 --> 00:11:39,599 Speaker 1: has shown a willingness to attack innocent men, women, and 194 00:11:39,679 --> 00:11:43,680 Speaker 1: children repeatedly and fun proxy wars ended. And I want 195 00:11:43,720 --> 00:11:46,360 Speaker 1: that threat removed for the safety of our children and 196 00:11:46,360 --> 00:11:50,320 Speaker 1: grandchildren one hundred percent. Don't apologize at all, A stand 197 00:11:50,320 --> 00:11:52,680 Speaker 1: by it. I think the President has been right the 198 00:11:52,720 --> 00:11:53,240 Speaker 1: whole time. 199 00:11:53,480 --> 00:11:56,400 Speaker 3: Yeah, And you know how much risk would the United 200 00:11:56,440 --> 00:11:58,880 Speaker 3: States be willing to accept? And I think the answer 201 00:11:58,960 --> 00:12:02,440 Speaker 3: is not nearly as much as Israel has already had 202 00:12:02,480 --> 00:12:05,800 Speaker 3: to accept. And this is an important point for your 203 00:12:05,960 --> 00:12:09,920 Speaker 3: audience to understand. This isn't just Israel versus Iran. This 204 00:12:10,080 --> 00:12:13,760 Speaker 3: is the civilized world against Iran, because Iran really is 205 00:12:13,800 --> 00:12:16,320 Speaker 3: a threat to all of us. You know, a lot 206 00:12:16,320 --> 00:12:19,480 Speaker 3: of people remember that the Iranians killed six hundred or 207 00:12:19,480 --> 00:12:22,880 Speaker 3: more American soldiers on the ground in Iraq. They've also 208 00:12:22,960 --> 00:12:26,360 Speaker 3: been plotting assassinations right here on American soil. They're trying 209 00:12:26,400 --> 00:12:29,720 Speaker 3: to kill President Trump. Mike Pompeo, John Bolton, and others. 210 00:12:30,120 --> 00:12:33,560 Speaker 3: They tried to blow up an Italian restaurant in Georgetown 211 00:12:34,120 --> 00:12:36,600 Speaker 3: a number of years ago to kill the Saudi ambassador 212 00:12:36,800 --> 00:12:39,800 Speaker 3: and imagine the collateral damage that would have involved. So 213 00:12:40,360 --> 00:12:44,000 Speaker 3: now imagine that regime with a nuclear weapon, and you 214 00:12:44,120 --> 00:12:48,040 Speaker 3: have to see why President Trump is so firmly and 215 00:12:48,080 --> 00:12:52,600 Speaker 3: resolutely behind Israel's efforts to disarm this regime. We can't 216 00:12:52,600 --> 00:12:54,840 Speaker 3: afford that risk any more than Israel can. 217 00:12:55,440 --> 00:12:58,280 Speaker 1: I totally agree. All right, quick break, welcome back more 218 00:12:58,440 --> 00:13:02,640 Speaker 1: with Ambassador Nathan He served in the first Trump administration 219 00:13:02,840 --> 00:13:06,680 Speaker 1: as Ambassador at Large for counter Terrorism and acting under 220 00:13:06,720 --> 00:13:09,000 Speaker 1: Secretary of State. We'll get to your calls also on 221 00:13:09,040 --> 00:13:10,520 Speaker 1: the other side of eight hundred and nine to four 222 00:13:10,640 --> 00:13:11,960 Speaker 1: one Sean, if you want to be a part of 223 00:13:11,960 --> 00:13:16,120 Speaker 1: the program. We continue now. Ambassador Nathan Sales with US 224 00:13:16,120 --> 00:13:19,760 Speaker 1: served in the first Trump administration as an Ambassador at 225 00:13:19,840 --> 00:13:24,040 Speaker 1: Large for counter Terrorism, acting under Secretary of State. At 226 00:13:24,040 --> 00:13:27,320 Speaker 1: this point, it seems that there is one reactor left 227 00:13:27,559 --> 00:13:30,800 Speaker 1: and that the Israelis have two options, either to use 228 00:13:30,840 --> 00:13:35,080 Speaker 1: an American bunker buster bombs because it's buried. My understanding 229 00:13:35,160 --> 00:13:40,440 Speaker 1: is miles underground, or a tactical nuke. I would prefer 230 00:13:40,800 --> 00:13:44,000 Speaker 1: the bunker busters, but that's going to be, you know, 231 00:13:44,080 --> 00:13:46,760 Speaker 1: between the President and Israel, and they're going to ultimately 232 00:13:46,800 --> 00:13:49,520 Speaker 1: make that decision. But I don't think it can remain 233 00:13:49,559 --> 00:13:49,839 Speaker 1: at all. 234 00:13:49,960 --> 00:13:52,920 Speaker 3: Yeah, this is the Ford Dole plant, and it's the 235 00:13:52,960 --> 00:13:58,079 Speaker 3: hardest target that the Iranians have. It's buried under about 236 00:13:58,080 --> 00:14:01,640 Speaker 3: a half mile of mountain and it's really really difficult 237 00:14:01,640 --> 00:14:04,160 Speaker 3: to get it unless you have a bunker buster bomb, 238 00:14:04,160 --> 00:14:07,360 Speaker 3: which the United States has and which we have a 239 00:14:07,400 --> 00:14:10,880 Speaker 3: platform for delivering it, namely the B two. So I 240 00:14:10,920 --> 00:14:14,360 Speaker 3: think there's probably some very serious conversations going on right 241 00:14:14,400 --> 00:14:18,400 Speaker 3: now about whether the United States will provide those capabilities 242 00:14:18,720 --> 00:14:21,200 Speaker 3: to Israel or whether the United States will join the 243 00:14:21,200 --> 00:14:24,560 Speaker 3: fight ourselves. I don't know where the President is on this, 244 00:14:25,280 --> 00:14:29,000 Speaker 3: but this is a question that bears watching very closely, 245 00:14:29,040 --> 00:14:33,120 Speaker 3: because we can't afford to eliminate a couple of nuclear 246 00:14:33,160 --> 00:14:36,520 Speaker 3: sites here and there but leave Ford all intact. If 247 00:14:36,560 --> 00:14:40,600 Speaker 3: Ford ou survives, the Iranian regimes and nuclear program survives, 248 00:14:40,680 --> 00:14:42,840 Speaker 3: and that's a loss for Israel and a loss for US. 249 00:14:43,080 --> 00:14:44,800 Speaker 1: I think that's well said, and I don't think that's 250 00:14:44,840 --> 00:14:47,560 Speaker 1: a risk. If you've come this far and we're at 251 00:14:47,600 --> 00:14:50,000 Speaker 1: the end of the process and you own the skies. 252 00:14:50,200 --> 00:14:53,440 Speaker 1: They've not been able to build back their missile defense system. 253 00:14:53,960 --> 00:14:54,200 Speaker 2: You know. 254 00:14:54,280 --> 00:14:56,560 Speaker 1: The only risk we now have, and it is a 255 00:14:56,640 --> 00:15:00,000 Speaker 1: real risk. Man, anytime you're involved in any military effort, 256 00:15:00,000 --> 00:15:01,800 Speaker 1: I don't want to mitigate that risk. I don't want 257 00:15:01,840 --> 00:15:04,120 Speaker 1: people to put their guard down. There is a risk 258 00:15:04,200 --> 00:15:06,600 Speaker 1: and a risk to American lives. They've already killed many 259 00:15:06,640 --> 00:15:09,920 Speaker 1: Americans in the past, and they do chant death to Israel, 260 00:15:09,960 --> 00:15:14,000 Speaker 1: death to America, and they've threatened to hit the continental 261 00:15:14,120 --> 00:15:17,880 Speaker 1: US with missiles also. But it's either you deal with 262 00:15:17,960 --> 00:15:21,120 Speaker 1: it now when they're weakened and finish the job, or 263 00:15:21,600 --> 00:15:23,760 Speaker 1: you run the risk that they would empower themselves and 264 00:15:24,720 --> 00:15:26,920 Speaker 1: build up their military might even further. 265 00:15:27,200 --> 00:15:29,760 Speaker 3: Yeah, I think the lesson the Iranians are going to 266 00:15:29,800 --> 00:15:32,920 Speaker 3: take from this war is we're a lot weaker than 267 00:15:32,920 --> 00:15:36,360 Speaker 3: we thought we were. Israel has the ability to hurt 268 00:15:36,440 --> 00:15:39,600 Speaker 3: us a lot more than we thought they did, So 269 00:15:39,800 --> 00:15:42,400 Speaker 3: how do we protect ourselves from that? What I think 270 00:15:42,440 --> 00:15:44,440 Speaker 3: and what I fear is the lesson they're going to 271 00:15:44,480 --> 00:15:47,360 Speaker 3: draw is we need a nuclear bomb now more than ever, 272 00:15:47,480 --> 00:15:51,480 Speaker 3: And so if you give give the regime that ability 273 00:15:51,720 --> 00:15:54,600 Speaker 3: without destroying their program completely. My fears they are going 274 00:15:54,640 --> 00:15:55,720 Speaker 3: to race harder than ever. 275 00:15:55,960 --> 00:15:58,760 Speaker 1: Appreciate you being with us. Thank you, Ambassador Nathan Sales 276 00:15:58,760 --> 00:16:00,920 Speaker 1: eight hundred and ninety four one number. If you want 277 00:16:00,920 --> 00:16:03,400 Speaker 1: to be a part of the program and you're listening 278 00:16:03,440 --> 00:16:05,320 Speaker 1: to the best of the Sean Hannity Show, we'll have 279 00:16:05,360 --> 00:16:08,760 Speaker 1: more of your favorite guest topics and memorable moments. That's 280 00:16:08,800 --> 00:16:13,400 Speaker 1: all coming up on Hannity Show, Draining the swamp on 281 00:16:13,600 --> 00:16:16,280 Speaker 1: a corrupt politician at a time. 282 00:16:16,880 --> 00:16:19,840 Speaker 3: This is the Sean Hannity Show. 283 00:16:20,240 --> 00:16:23,000 Speaker 1: In a minute, we're going to head to the groundwork 284 00:16:23,160 --> 00:16:26,000 Speaker 1: of bird's eye view of what's been happening to Tel Aviv. 285 00:16:26,840 --> 00:16:31,600 Speaker 1: Amazing to watch the majority of Democrats are citing with 286 00:16:31,840 --> 00:16:39,800 Speaker 1: the radical, virulent squad as represented by Congresswoman Omar. Listen 287 00:16:39,840 --> 00:16:41,240 Speaker 1: to her comments. 288 00:16:41,120 --> 00:16:44,480 Speaker 6: To be coming out of our country. I mean, I 289 00:16:44,480 --> 00:16:48,760 Speaker 6: grew up in a dictatorship and I don't even remember 290 00:16:48,800 --> 00:16:53,360 Speaker 6: ever witnessing anything like that. To have a democracy a 291 00:16:53,440 --> 00:16:58,280 Speaker 6: peakan of hope for the world to now be turned 292 00:16:58,400 --> 00:17:01,800 Speaker 6: into one of the you know, one of the worst 293 00:17:02,520 --> 00:17:07,720 Speaker 6: countries where the military are in our streets without any 294 00:17:07,800 --> 00:17:12,480 Speaker 6: regard for people's constitutional rights, while our president is spending 295 00:17:12,560 --> 00:17:17,240 Speaker 6: millions of dollars prompting himself up like a failed dictator 296 00:17:17,359 --> 00:17:22,080 Speaker 6: with a military parade. It is really shocking and it 297 00:17:22,080 --> 00:17:25,639 Speaker 6: should be a wake up call for all Americans to say, 298 00:17:25,720 --> 00:17:30,960 Speaker 6: this is not the country we were born in. This 299 00:17:31,040 --> 00:17:33,119 Speaker 6: is not the country we believe in. This is not 300 00:17:33,200 --> 00:17:37,200 Speaker 6: the country our founding fathers imagined, and this is not 301 00:17:37,320 --> 00:17:41,120 Speaker 6: the country that is supported by our constitution, our ideals, 302 00:17:41,119 --> 00:17:45,080 Speaker 6: our values, and we should all collectively be out in 303 00:17:45,119 --> 00:17:48,879 Speaker 6: the streets rejecting what is taking place this week. 304 00:17:49,400 --> 00:17:55,400 Speaker 1: That is Congresswoman Omar, that is the virulent anti Semitic 305 00:17:55,480 --> 00:18:00,240 Speaker 1: wing of the Democratic Party. They and those that are 306 00:18:00,240 --> 00:18:03,040 Speaker 1: not a part of it, Their silence has been deafening. 307 00:18:03,560 --> 00:18:07,679 Speaker 1: The only voice that has been outspoken in support of 308 00:18:07,720 --> 00:18:11,800 Speaker 1: Israel has been Pennsylvania Senator Democrat John Fetterman. Here's what 309 00:18:11,880 --> 00:18:12,520 Speaker 1: he has said. 310 00:18:12,880 --> 00:18:15,359 Speaker 5: Now, you say, show no mercy and if you have 311 00:18:15,440 --> 00:18:17,359 Speaker 5: to take the supreme leader out, do it. 312 00:18:17,760 --> 00:18:19,200 Speaker 3: Explain your position now, sir? 313 00:18:19,600 --> 00:18:23,120 Speaker 7: Yeah, yeah. I think they should have targeted him absolutely, 314 00:18:23,160 --> 00:18:27,520 Speaker 7: gone taking them out. I think the way Israel operates, 315 00:18:27,800 --> 00:18:30,120 Speaker 7: they just take out the leadership, just like they did 316 00:18:30,160 --> 00:18:34,200 Speaker 7: with Hesbela, and they've already done that with the Iranian leadership, 317 00:18:34,520 --> 00:18:36,439 Speaker 7: just took them out, even laying in their beds. And 318 00:18:36,480 --> 00:18:39,200 Speaker 7: they didn't take down the whole building. They actually targeted 319 00:18:39,400 --> 00:18:42,520 Speaker 7: where they lay in bed. And now they eliminated the 320 00:18:42,960 --> 00:18:47,160 Speaker 7: military ones and the nuclear ones. That's magnificent and the 321 00:18:47,240 --> 00:18:49,680 Speaker 7: precision which they've done that, And I don't know why 322 00:18:49,680 --> 00:18:52,479 Speaker 7: they would have lifted the leader out all right. 323 00:18:52,560 --> 00:18:56,440 Speaker 1: Joining us now is Roy Katz. He is a journalist, 324 00:18:56,680 --> 00:19:00,520 Speaker 1: TV and radio host in Israel. He's then in Tel 325 00:19:00,560 --> 00:19:05,520 Speaker 1: Aviv as they have been witnessing and living through an 326 00:19:05,560 --> 00:19:10,720 Speaker 1: onslaught of Iranian ballistic missiles. We became friendly with Roy 327 00:19:11,680 --> 00:19:13,879 Speaker 1: when we were in Israel. A couple of times we 328 00:19:14,000 --> 00:19:16,680 Speaker 1: broadcast from FM one O two out of Tel Aviv. 329 00:19:17,359 --> 00:19:21,560 Speaker 1: And more importantly, they actually facilitated my ability from the 330 00:19:21,640 --> 00:19:27,000 Speaker 1: United States to host a separate radio show, separate and 331 00:19:27,000 --> 00:19:30,680 Speaker 1: apart from this one, just for the people in Israel. 332 00:19:31,280 --> 00:19:34,080 Speaker 1: And Roy has been on the ground from day one, 333 00:19:34,400 --> 00:19:37,880 Speaker 1: and he has been pointing out the Iranian stock exchange 334 00:19:37,880 --> 00:19:40,159 Speaker 1: has been suspended in Israel. On the other hand, the 335 00:19:40,160 --> 00:19:45,000 Speaker 1: stock exchange continues to operate, and the profound differences between 336 00:19:45,040 --> 00:19:48,639 Speaker 1: the Israeli economy and that of the Iranian economy. The 337 00:19:48,760 --> 00:19:52,960 Speaker 1: most amazing thing with Israel controlling the skies over the 338 00:19:53,119 --> 00:19:58,000 Speaker 1: entire land mass of Iran. Anyway, Roy, great to have 339 00:19:58,119 --> 00:20:01,600 Speaker 1: you back. I wish under out of circumstances. Our prayers 340 00:20:01,600 --> 00:20:04,440 Speaker 1: are with you and the people of Israel. But this 341 00:20:04,520 --> 00:20:06,520 Speaker 1: is a fight that has been a long time coming. 342 00:20:06,920 --> 00:20:09,320 Speaker 1: I've been asking people on this radio show, how many 343 00:20:09,320 --> 00:20:12,560 Speaker 1: missiles would it take fired into the United States at 344 00:20:12,600 --> 00:20:16,159 Speaker 1: any small town or big city by an enemy and 345 00:20:16,240 --> 00:20:21,919 Speaker 1: outside adversary before you would expect your military to fiercely 346 00:20:22,200 --> 00:20:25,760 Speaker 1: defend your country and win that conflict and win that war. Now, 347 00:20:26,840 --> 00:20:30,119 Speaker 1: since the times I've been through Israel, there've been hundreds 348 00:20:30,160 --> 00:20:32,640 Speaker 1: of thousands of missiles that have been fired into Israel. 349 00:20:32,680 --> 00:20:35,399 Speaker 1: And of course what happened on October seven, So this 350 00:20:35,480 --> 00:20:38,560 Speaker 1: has been a long time coming. They have been fomenting 351 00:20:38,680 --> 00:20:45,320 Speaker 1: terror hamas Saysbalah, Islamic jihad, the Huti rebels. Then you 352 00:20:45,359 --> 00:20:48,879 Speaker 1: have the Syria militia, the Iraqi militia, and now firing 353 00:20:48,920 --> 00:20:52,000 Speaker 1: ballistic missiles for the third time themselves. How are things 354 00:20:52,000 --> 00:20:52,520 Speaker 1: on the ground. 355 00:20:52,800 --> 00:20:55,320 Speaker 4: Well, first of all, thank you, Sean. It is great 356 00:20:55,480 --> 00:20:58,439 Speaker 4: to talk with you again. I appreciate you giving me 357 00:20:58,480 --> 00:21:02,400 Speaker 4: this platform to share the reality of what's happening in 358 00:21:02,480 --> 00:21:07,160 Speaker 4: Tel Aviv and across Israel. You know, Israeli families are 359 00:21:07,440 --> 00:21:12,920 Speaker 4: becoming just experts in sprinting to underground shelters in their pajamas. 360 00:21:13,040 --> 00:21:16,960 Speaker 4: It's evening here in Tel Aviv. This is really our 361 00:21:17,160 --> 00:21:21,040 Speaker 4: new normal. For the last couple of days. Israeli kids 362 00:21:21,080 --> 00:21:24,960 Speaker 4: are you know, they're learning to count sirens. They mean 363 00:21:25,880 --> 00:21:28,840 Speaker 4: ninety seconds to shelter. Now, no child should have that 364 00:21:28,960 --> 00:21:33,840 Speaker 4: kind of mass homeworks. And you know, civilians killed by 365 00:21:33,920 --> 00:21:38,119 Speaker 4: ballistic missiles in their own neighborhoods. And this is what 366 00:21:38,600 --> 00:21:43,800 Speaker 4: happens when a terrorist regime targets civilian areas, you know, 367 00:21:43,920 --> 00:21:48,600 Speaker 4: instead of military sites. And that's a regime that openly 368 00:21:48,760 --> 00:21:54,800 Speaker 4: calls for wiping Israel off the mat while building nuclear weapons, 369 00:21:54,920 --> 00:22:00,520 Speaker 4: and that isn't seeking peace. They are preparing genocide for us. 370 00:22:00,640 --> 00:22:03,560 Speaker 4: And it's yeah, it's quite scary, I must admit. 371 00:22:03,920 --> 00:22:08,600 Speaker 1: Well, the people of Israel are resilient, thank god. I mean, unfortunately, 372 00:22:08,680 --> 00:22:12,160 Speaker 1: Israel has had to build out a bunker system that 373 00:22:12,200 --> 00:22:17,200 Speaker 1: has prevented a far greater loss of life. The Israelis 374 00:22:17,240 --> 00:22:20,280 Speaker 1: now have taken out two of the three big nuclear 375 00:22:20,320 --> 00:22:23,760 Speaker 1: sites inside of Iran. Now there is a debate whether 376 00:22:23,840 --> 00:22:26,520 Speaker 1: or not whether or not there'll be a joint operation 377 00:22:27,240 --> 00:22:30,440 Speaker 1: between the United States and Israel, and the US would 378 00:22:30,520 --> 00:22:33,919 Speaker 1: provide the bunker buster bombs and probably the B fifty 379 00:22:33,920 --> 00:22:38,400 Speaker 1: twos to take that last facility out. The President has 380 00:22:38,480 --> 00:22:42,240 Speaker 1: been steadfast, he has been unambiguous. He has been clear. 381 00:22:43,080 --> 00:22:46,520 Speaker 1: Uh that is that Iran cannot have a nuclear weapon, 382 00:22:47,160 --> 00:22:50,760 Speaker 1: and uh so I at the at the end of 383 00:22:50,800 --> 00:22:55,280 Speaker 1: this process, at a minimum, the Iranians won't have a 384 00:22:55,400 --> 00:22:59,520 Speaker 1: nuclear weapon. Now at that point, you know, probably the 385 00:22:59,600 --> 00:23:02,960 Speaker 1: United State's role will be defending their troops in the region, 386 00:23:03,000 --> 00:23:06,080 Speaker 1: their interest in the region, helping Israel defend against any 387 00:23:06,119 --> 00:23:08,840 Speaker 1: missile attacks, which we've been doing and will continue to do. 388 00:23:09,520 --> 00:23:11,520 Speaker 1: But then the Israelis are going to have to make 389 00:23:11,560 --> 00:23:14,920 Speaker 1: a choice. They could wipe out their entire electric gas 390 00:23:15,160 --> 00:23:21,160 Speaker 1: electric grid that's separated apart from their refineries. No electric 391 00:23:21,240 --> 00:23:27,000 Speaker 1: power and no source of income, would absolutely devastate the regime. 392 00:23:27,480 --> 00:23:31,080 Speaker 4: Your thoughts now, Sean, I heard your monologue the other 393 00:23:31,160 --> 00:23:35,679 Speaker 4: day saying Iran cannot have a nuclear weapon, period, and 394 00:23:35,760 --> 00:23:39,080 Speaker 4: that's the end of the sentence. Now, the US has 395 00:23:39,200 --> 00:23:43,800 Speaker 4: the bunker busting bombs that can reach Iran's deep underground 396 00:23:43,880 --> 00:23:50,720 Speaker 4: nuclear facilities and will need American firepower to finish this job. 397 00:23:50,800 --> 00:23:52,920 Speaker 4: I think, and I want to say one more thing, 398 00:23:53,280 --> 00:23:57,479 Speaker 4: I think America's choice is quite simple, because helping Israel 399 00:23:57,560 --> 00:24:03,720 Speaker 4: destroy Iran's nuclear over now or facing a nuclear armed 400 00:24:03,800 --> 00:24:07,080 Speaker 4: Iran threatening threatening American cities later. 401 00:24:07,560 --> 00:24:07,760 Speaker 3: Now. 402 00:24:07,840 --> 00:24:12,040 Speaker 4: Every day America waits to join this fight is another day. 403 00:24:12,320 --> 00:24:16,040 Speaker 4: I think Iran is getting closer to putting nuclear warheads 404 00:24:16,440 --> 00:24:19,480 Speaker 4: on missile aimed at New York City. Now. I know 405 00:24:19,640 --> 00:24:22,439 Speaker 4: there is a big argument in the States. I know 406 00:24:22,560 --> 00:24:24,159 Speaker 4: there is a big argument even in them. 407 00:24:24,560 --> 00:24:27,040 Speaker 1: It's really, it's really not that big. The poll came 408 00:24:27,080 --> 00:24:31,760 Speaker 1: out today by two of our favorite posters. They nailed 409 00:24:31,760 --> 00:24:35,560 Speaker 1: the twenty sixteen, twenty twenty, and twenty twenty four election, 410 00:24:36,320 --> 00:24:40,760 Speaker 1: and it was overwhelming and it was incontrovertible that the 411 00:24:41,520 --> 00:24:44,600 Speaker 1: question was, what is your opinion of President Trump's position 412 00:24:44,720 --> 00:24:48,480 Speaker 1: that Iran must be prevented from developing a nuclear weapon 413 00:24:48,520 --> 00:24:52,640 Speaker 1: by any means necessary. Seventy four percent to twenty three 414 00:24:52,720 --> 00:24:58,320 Speaker 1: percent favored the President taking that side out. The president 415 00:24:58,359 --> 00:25:01,399 Speaker 1: clearly by warning Tehran and the citizens that Teyran to 416 00:25:01,440 --> 00:25:04,840 Speaker 1: get out, I think is sending a clear message a 417 00:25:04,840 --> 00:25:07,720 Speaker 1: lot like Israel. They care, We care about human life, 418 00:25:07,800 --> 00:25:11,600 Speaker 1: unlike the Iranians. But it seems imminent to me. 419 00:25:13,760 --> 00:25:16,159 Speaker 4: I'm happy to hear it. I mean, what we see 420 00:25:16,240 --> 00:25:21,680 Speaker 4: on media is an argument between you know, both parties 421 00:25:21,720 --> 00:25:26,159 Speaker 4: in the States and within the GOP. But I'm happy 422 00:25:26,280 --> 00:25:29,760 Speaker 4: to hear your answer. Now, when we're talking politics, I 423 00:25:29,800 --> 00:25:33,159 Speaker 4: want to mention one more thing. You know, when I 424 00:25:33,200 --> 00:25:38,280 Speaker 4: see Israel's harshest opposition leaders stand with the government on 425 00:25:38,320 --> 00:25:41,720 Speaker 4: this war, you know that the threat is real. You know, 426 00:25:42,040 --> 00:25:47,840 Speaker 4: politics stops at survival, and our opposition parties fight the government, 427 00:25:47,960 --> 00:25:51,960 Speaker 4: fight Nataniel on everything, but except when it comes to 428 00:25:52,280 --> 00:25:57,080 Speaker 4: preventing a second Holocaust. Now, left wing politicians who spent 429 00:25:57,760 --> 00:26:01,920 Speaker 4: years criticizing Prime Minister Nathania are now saying we support 430 00:26:02,000 --> 00:26:05,280 Speaker 4: this operation. And that tells you, and that tells the 431 00:26:05,359 --> 00:26:09,880 Speaker 4: audience everything about Iran the danger. Because opposition leaders are 432 00:26:10,320 --> 00:26:14,400 Speaker 4: in Israel are telling their supporters we rezum fighting Nathaniel 433 00:26:14,480 --> 00:26:19,480 Speaker 4: after we finish fighting Iran's nuclear program. And that tells 434 00:26:19,520 --> 00:26:22,240 Speaker 4: a lot, because you know, in a democracy where politicians 435 00:26:22,359 --> 00:26:27,560 Speaker 4: argue about everything we see here in Israel. Almost unanimous 436 00:26:27,560 --> 00:26:31,040 Speaker 4: support for this operation, and that speaks louder I think 437 00:26:31,200 --> 00:26:33,359 Speaker 4: than any intelligence briefing. 438 00:26:33,960 --> 00:26:36,840 Speaker 1: All right, quick freak, We'll come back more with Roy Katz. 439 00:26:36,880 --> 00:26:40,520 Speaker 1: He's a friend of ours, journalist, TV radio host. We 440 00:26:40,640 --> 00:26:43,760 Speaker 1: continue now. Roy Katz is a friend of the program. 441 00:26:43,880 --> 00:26:47,280 Speaker 1: He's a journalist, TV radio host. He's in Tel Aviv. 442 00:26:47,800 --> 00:26:51,199 Speaker 1: We continue with Roy Katz. Now, what is it like 443 00:26:51,960 --> 00:26:56,080 Speaker 1: when the sirens are going off and people are rushing 444 00:26:56,119 --> 00:27:01,720 Speaker 1: down into underground bunkers and you see the incredible success. 445 00:27:02,160 --> 00:27:05,600 Speaker 1: The IDEF says they're about ninety five percent successful and 446 00:27:05,680 --> 00:27:09,280 Speaker 1: preventing these ballistic missiles that are more powerful than ever, 447 00:27:09,359 --> 00:27:12,520 Speaker 1: which I think needs to be pointed out that they 448 00:27:12,560 --> 00:27:14,840 Speaker 1: have been building up. I call it their Plan B, 449 00:27:15,040 --> 00:27:18,080 Speaker 1: which is to try and overwhelm the iron dome that 450 00:27:18,200 --> 00:27:23,600 Speaker 1: Israel has used so successfully over the years. But yet 451 00:27:23,760 --> 00:27:27,800 Speaker 1: five percent of those missiles are hitting some targets. The 452 00:27:27,880 --> 00:27:32,040 Speaker 1: death toll is much much lower than it would otherwise 453 00:27:32,119 --> 00:27:36,240 Speaker 1: be had Israel not been always preparing for this inevitable moment, 454 00:27:36,359 --> 00:27:40,200 Speaker 1: knowing the hostilities that surround it. But many, many lives 455 00:27:40,200 --> 00:27:43,920 Speaker 1: have been saved because the Israelis have rightly prepared for 456 00:27:45,040 --> 00:27:49,480 Speaker 1: what was obviously becoming an inevitable conflict. On top of 457 00:27:49,520 --> 00:27:51,639 Speaker 1: the fact that I think it's one of the most 458 00:27:51,640 --> 00:27:56,560 Speaker 1: incredible military operations, going back to the Pager incident, going 459 00:27:56,600 --> 00:27:58,920 Speaker 1: back to taking out the top leaders of Hamas and 460 00:27:59,000 --> 00:28:05,200 Speaker 1: Hzbalah and Azralla, and then getting deep inside penetrating within 461 00:28:05,920 --> 00:28:11,000 Speaker 1: the territories of Iran with the massade and having you know, 462 00:28:11,080 --> 00:28:15,280 Speaker 1: these these drones take out the scientists and military leaders 463 00:28:15,440 --> 00:28:18,760 Speaker 1: and other sites. I mean, it has been spectacular to watch. 464 00:28:18,760 --> 00:28:21,040 Speaker 1: I would argue Roy that this is going to be 465 00:28:21,080 --> 00:28:23,080 Speaker 1: studied for the next two hundred years. 466 00:28:23,680 --> 00:28:26,719 Speaker 4: Oh, I totally agree with that. And we started at 467 00:28:26,760 --> 00:28:29,680 Speaker 4: a very low point. You know, on October seventh, they're 468 00:28:29,760 --> 00:28:33,920 Speaker 4: encouraged by Hamad. You know, they slaughter us in beds, 469 00:28:34,240 --> 00:28:38,280 Speaker 4: raped women and kill children. A year and nine months later, 470 00:28:38,400 --> 00:28:43,840 Speaker 4: we control the air over Tehran. It's significant. It's significant. 471 00:28:44,040 --> 00:28:46,040 Speaker 4: I want to share with you. You know, when the 472 00:28:46,080 --> 00:28:51,080 Speaker 4: sirens goes off here two or three times at night, 473 00:28:51,920 --> 00:28:55,160 Speaker 4: I admit it's scary. You know. I grabbed my kid, 474 00:28:55,440 --> 00:28:58,520 Speaker 4: I grabbed my wife. We have ninety minutes to go 475 00:28:58,640 --> 00:29:01,920 Speaker 4: into the bomb shelter. I'm not going to lie to you, Sean. 476 00:29:02,320 --> 00:29:06,520 Speaker 4: It is it is scary, but we know, we know 477 00:29:06,800 --> 00:29:11,560 Speaker 4: that we are not fighting for territory, we are not 478 00:29:11,800 --> 00:29:17,440 Speaker 4: fighting for resources. We are fighting against a regime that 479 00:29:17,640 --> 00:29:24,239 Speaker 4: has made our destruction their religious mission. And you know, 480 00:29:24,680 --> 00:29:29,240 Speaker 4: the choice for us is quite it's quite simple. You know, 481 00:29:29,360 --> 00:29:34,880 Speaker 4: stop the nuclear weapons program now or explain to future generations, 482 00:29:34,960 --> 00:29:37,880 Speaker 4: not only in Israel, not only in Israel, why we 483 00:29:38,000 --> 00:29:42,600 Speaker 4: let this genocidal terrorists get the A bomb. 484 00:29:43,040 --> 00:29:46,680 Speaker 1: Well, they can't and they won't and you know, the 485 00:29:46,720 --> 00:29:49,840 Speaker 1: world will You know, in the eighties, when Israel took 486 00:29:49,880 --> 00:29:53,920 Speaker 1: out the Iraqi sites, there was worldwide condemnation. They did 487 00:29:54,080 --> 00:29:56,640 Speaker 1: you did the world the favor when they took out 488 00:29:56,680 --> 00:29:59,760 Speaker 1: Syrian sights that got very little fanfare, and they flew 489 00:29:59,800 --> 00:30:03,600 Speaker 1: the low their radar detection systems. It was an incredible 490 00:30:03,640 --> 00:30:07,360 Speaker 1: military operation. What is going on here is a necessity. 491 00:30:07,880 --> 00:30:10,880 Speaker 1: And the difference now is there's an American president that 492 00:30:10,920 --> 00:30:15,960 Speaker 1: has the moral clarity to understand that Iran can never 493 00:30:16,280 --> 00:30:19,960 Speaker 1: have nuclear weapons and they won't have nuclear weapons and 494 00:30:20,200 --> 00:30:23,360 Speaker 1: that will prevent the possibility of a modern day holocaust. 495 00:30:23,640 --> 00:30:27,160 Speaker 1: Is that that is as simple, basic, fundamental common sense 496 00:30:27,160 --> 00:30:30,360 Speaker 1: as you can ever expect. Roy, are prayers with you. 497 00:30:30,600 --> 00:30:33,040 Speaker 1: Our prayers are with the people of Israel, the Prime Minister, 498 00:30:33,440 --> 00:30:37,760 Speaker 1: and godspeed in your mission.
