Speaker 1: Well, well, come in to your sentence.
Speaker 2: I wanna way I get sing you a conscious sound?
Speaker 2: Will I be?
Speaker 1: And if you want a little banging come along.
Speaker 2: Israel launched Operation Rising Lion, targeted military operation to roll
Speaker 2: back the Uranian threat to Israel's very survival. This operation
Speaker 2: will continue for as many days as it takes.
Speaker 1: Democracy is under assault before our eyes. This moment we
Speaker 1: have feared has arrived. Can you compare them to those
Speaker 1: nondescript dougs?
Speaker 3: It does look like a Gestapo operation. Freedom is back
Speaker 3: in style, Welcome to the revolution, Coming to your sentence?
Speaker 4: A way I get you a conscious sound?
Speaker 1: The New Sean Hannity Show, more him the scenes, information
Speaker 1: on freaking news and more bold inspired solutions for America.
Speaker 1: Right Hour two Sean Hannity Show, eight hundred and ninety
Speaker 1: four one Shawn or number you want to be a
Speaker 1: part of the program. Prime Minister Benjamin at Yahuan Fox
Speaker 1: with special report and Bretbair being very very clear that
Speaker 1: they launched this operation because Iran was rushing to weaponize
Speaker 1: enriched uranium. We see and you know when I was
Speaker 1: I keep going back to one of my trips to Israel.
Speaker 1: The small town bordered town with kauzovs stot is what
Speaker 1: it's called. And they had when I had gone back there.
Speaker 1: This is a long time ago. They had been hit
Speaker 1: with ten thousand missiles in ten years, one little town.
Speaker 1: How many missiles would it take to be fired into
Speaker 1: the US before you would want your government to do something? Anyway,
Speaker 1: Here's why he says he launched this operation.
Speaker 4: Why did you launch this operation now?
Speaker 2: Because we were facing an imminent threat, a dual existential threat.
Speaker 2: One the thread of Iran rushing to weaponize. They're enrich
Speaker 2: uranium to make atomic bombs, the specific and declared intent
Speaker 2: to destroy US. Second, a rush to increase their ballistic
Speaker 2: missile arsenal into the capacity that they would have thirty
Speaker 2: six hundred weapons a year, new weapons within three years,
Speaker 2: ten thousand ballistic missiles, each one weighing a ton, coming
Speaker 2: in at mock six right into our cities as you
Speaker 2: saw today, and then in twenty in six years, twenty thousand.
Speaker 2: That's a no country I can sustain that, and certainly
Speaker 2: not a country the size of Israel. So we had
Speaker 2: to act was the twelfth hour. We did act to
Speaker 2: save ourselves, but also I think to not only protect ourselves,
Speaker 2: but protect the world from this incendiary regime. We can't
Speaker 2: have the world's most dangerous regime have the world's most
Speaker 2: dangerous weapons. Were protecting ourselves, but by doing so, we're
Speaker 2: protecting many others.
Speaker 1: Now the Prime Minister rightly has pointed out, yeah, they've
Speaker 1: got you know, thousands, at least two thousand according to reports,
Speaker 1: ballistic missiles. We see them being fired. The Iron Dome
Speaker 1: has done a great job, but it's not perfect in
Speaker 1: terms of stopping it. But the production. I kind of
Speaker 1: view this as their increased production and ballistic missiles with
Speaker 1: the hope of doubling their how lethal they are from
Speaker 1: two thousand pounds to four thousand pounds as Plan B
Speaker 1: because the Iranians there are a lot of things. They're evil,
Speaker 1: for sure, but they're not stupid, and they knew the
Speaker 1: likelihood of their nuclear program existing was diminishing by the day.
Speaker 1: And I'll just quote President Trump for those people who
Speaker 1: say they want peace, you cannot have peace of Iran
Speaker 1: has a nuclear weapon. So for all those wonderful people
Speaker 1: who don't want to do anything about Iran having a
Speaker 1: nuclear weapon, that's not peace. Often said that you don't
Speaker 1: define peace as the absence of conflict or the absence
Speaker 1: of war. You define it as the ability to defend yourself,
Speaker 1: and in this case it's a preventative measure before you
Speaker 1: are literally the war would be held hostage by a
Speaker 1: nuclear armed Iran. But yes, it's very consistent with my
Speaker 1: ideology and my philosophy. You can no longer have these
Speaker 1: forever wars. Is not a single country in the Middle
Speaker 1: East that wants the Iranians with nuclear weapons, and they
Speaker 1: have rained down through their proxies and themselves, hundreds of
Speaker 1: thousands of missiles on Israel. At what point does Israel
Speaker 1: have the right to say enough is enough? How many
Speaker 1: missiles would it take fired into the United States before
Speaker 1: every American would demand rightly so that we neutralize any
Speaker 1: country that's involved. Now we are in a new era,
Speaker 1: and I keep talking about the next generation of weaponry,
Speaker 1: and I keep talking about how future wars will be
Speaker 1: fought in their conditioned offices and not on a battlefield.
Speaker 1: And we see this unfolding in real time, which means
Speaker 1: that for those people that worry about quote the quagmire
Speaker 1: you know argument or forever war argument, well, the Israelis
Speaker 1: already own the skies over all of Iran. This is
Speaker 1: this is this is a one side and fight at
Speaker 1: this point. Now, that doesn't mitigate the danger, the dangers
Speaker 1: to our troops in the region. That doesn't mitigate, you know,
Speaker 1: the the other dangers associated with the ballistic missiles that
Speaker 1: they have, both short range and long range, and the
Speaker 1: letality of all of that. But what is it going
Speaker 1: to be like six months from now, a year from
Speaker 1: now if they have the ten thousand weapons that the
Speaker 1: Prime Minister's talking about and maybe nuclear capability. Now there's
Speaker 1: uh anyway for Ambassador Nathan Sales is with us. He
Speaker 1: served in the first Trump administration as Ambassador at large
Speaker 1: but counter terrorism acting under Secretary State. Is there anything
Speaker 1: I'm saying here that you disagree with?
Speaker 3: God, it sounds like you're angling for an apployment at
Speaker 3: the State's Department. I'd love to have what you just
Speaker 3: said reflected among America's diplomatic corps. I think you're spot on.
Speaker 3: I Ran as a threat not just to Israel, not
Speaker 3: even just to the region. They're a threat to the
Speaker 3: United States and that has to be the guiding star
Speaker 3: of US policy. Over the next couple of weeks, we're
Speaker 3: starting to see some of Israel's on again, off again
Speaker 3: friends in the West starting to waiver. There's some chatter
Speaker 3: as the G seven summit up in Canada kicks off
Speaker 3: today that the G seven might call for de escalation,
Speaker 3: and President Trump rightly has said not signing that, and
Speaker 3: good because our policy should be help Israel do what
Speaker 3: it needs to do to finish the job with a
Speaker 3: minimum of henpecking and ankle biting from other countries in
Speaker 3: the West. It's always been important for Israel to be
Speaker 3: able to neutralize the threat that Iran poses, but especially
Speaker 3: so now you've got to finish the job because imagine
Speaker 3: how motivated Iran will be after this war ends to
Speaker 3: get a nuclear weapon, because that's going to be their
Speaker 3: insurance policy. So you can't leave any element of the
Speaker 3: nuclear program behind because the Iranians are going to take
Speaker 3: that seed and then grow it into a huge tree
Speaker 3: if given the opportunity. So, whether it's through military force
Speaker 3: or whether it's through tough diplomacy, this war needs to
Speaker 3: end with Iran completely disarmed.
Speaker 1: Well, and look, it's an existential threat not only to
Speaker 1: the region but to the world. And this you know,
Speaker 1: a lot of people seem to have forgotten. But if
Speaker 1: you go back to April of twenty five this year,
Speaker 1: you know it's a little ironic President Trump is you know,
Speaker 1: you know, there was one report that he pulled the
Speaker 1: plug on Iran's Supreme leader to take cam out. I'm
Speaker 1: not sure if I actually believe everything I read, but
Speaker 1: putting that aside, considering if you go back, you know,
Speaker 1: according to the Persian language article published by one of
Speaker 1: their local papers, Trump is out of line any day
Speaker 1: now and revenge for the bloody martyr Solamani, A few
Speaker 1: bullets are going to be fired into that empty skull
Speaker 1: of his and he'll be drinking from the chalice of
Speaker 1: a cursed death. And so I'm not sure if I
Speaker 1: believe the report that he vetoed a plan to assassinate
Speaker 1: Iran Supreme Supreme Leader. Israeli airstrikes did target one of
Speaker 1: Iran's largest oil refineries. I think that was a message
Speaker 1: that we can take out your entire ability to make money. Also,
Speaker 1: not just your nuclear sites, not your missile battery systems,
Speaker 1: which they've gotten about a third of here. Still is
Speaker 1: a threat to the region, and that includes American troops
Speaker 1: in the region. I don't want people to think that
Speaker 1: this is, you know, a cake walk, because it's not.
Speaker 1: But it's a matter of be to act now or
Speaker 1: do you risk you know, they what we as a
Speaker 1: world might be facing later and I'm not willing to
Speaker 1: take that risk for our children and grandchildren.
Speaker 3: Well, that's exactly right, Sean. For the past twenty plus years,
Speaker 3: Israel has lived with a sort of damocles hanging over it,
Speaker 3: and not just Israel, but the Saudis, the Bahraini's, the Amoradis,
Speaker 3: others in the Gulf, and ultimately the United States. And
Speaker 3: that sort of damoicles is the risk that Iran will
Speaker 3: develop a nuclear weapon that it will use to hold
Speaker 3: the entire region hostage. You know, they keep channing death
Speaker 3: to America. They've been channing that since the revolution back
Speaker 3: in nineteen seventy nine. We don't want to find out
Speaker 3: if it's just rhetoric. We have to assume that they
Speaker 3: mean it when they say it. And from that realization
Speaker 3: follows a really important point. They can never have the
Speaker 3: world's most dangerous regime, can never have the world's most
Speaker 3: dangerous weapon, and that's the only reason they could have.
Speaker 3: The nuclear enrichment program.
Speaker 5: They've enriched so far up to sixty percent purity. Nobody
Speaker 5: who has a peaceful nuclear power program needs that kind
Speaker 5: of concentration of the uranium. The only reason you could
Speaker 5: have that is because you want to preserve a pathway
Speaker 5: to a bomb. And so when the moments sit down
Speaker 5: at the negotiating table and say, well, we just want
Speaker 5: a peaceful program for power purposes.
Speaker 1: Or they were offered that in negotiations, I know that
Speaker 1: for a fact they were offered they could have the
Speaker 1: enriched rods for a peaceful power nuclear program, which is
Speaker 1: it's nowhere near sixty percent. But when they're enriching the
Speaker 1: uranium and they don't have anywhere anyplace anytime, American inspectors,
Speaker 1: we know that they've always been further along in their
Speaker 1: program than is publicly known, and we see what we see,
Speaker 1: how they terrorize the entire region. You know, what's surprising
Speaker 1: to me is like I'm like, you know, but break
Speaker 1: this down to a very simple equation. How many missiles
Speaker 1: would have to be fired into an American town or
Speaker 1: city by a foreign entity before you'd want America to react?
Speaker 1: You know, how many how many times does a neighbor
Speaker 1: have to punch you in the face and break your
Speaker 1: windows and attack your house before you're gonna want to
Speaker 1: You're gonna want to retaliate. And it's really that simple.
Speaker 1: Does does Sean Hannity want to forever war? Absolutely not.
Speaker 4: Do.
Speaker 1: I want this specific threat, with this evil regime that
Speaker 1: has shown a willingness to attack innocent men, women, and
Speaker 1: children repeatedly and fun proxy wars ended. And I want
Speaker 1: that threat removed for the safety of our children and
Speaker 1: grandchildren one hundred percent. Don't apologize at all, A stand
Speaker 1: by it. I think the President has been right the
Speaker 1: whole time.
Speaker 3: Yeah, And you know how much risk would the United
Speaker 3: States be willing to accept? And I think the answer
Speaker 3: is not nearly as much as Israel has already had
Speaker 3: to accept. And this is an important point for your
Speaker 3: audience to understand. This isn't just Israel versus Iran. This
Speaker 3: is the civilized world against Iran, because Iran really is
Speaker 3: a threat to all of us. You know, a lot
Speaker 3: of people remember that the Iranians killed six hundred or
Speaker 3: more American soldiers on the ground in Iraq. They've also
Speaker 3: been plotting assassinations right here on American soil. They're trying
Speaker 3: to kill President Trump. Mike Pompeo, John Bolton, and others.
Speaker 3: They tried to blow up an Italian restaurant in Georgetown
Speaker 3: a number of years ago to kill the Saudi ambassador
Speaker 3: and imagine the collateral damage that would have involved. So
Speaker 3: now imagine that regime with a nuclear weapon, and you
Speaker 3: have to see why President Trump is so firmly and
Speaker 3: resolutely behind Israel's efforts to disarm this regime. We can't
Speaker 3: afford that risk any more than Israel can.
Speaker 1: I totally agree. All right, quick break, welcome back more
Speaker 1: with Ambassador Nathan He served in the first Trump administration
Speaker 1: as Ambassador at Large for counter Terrorism and acting under
Speaker 1: Secretary of State. We'll get to your calls also on
Speaker 1: the other side of eight hundred and nine to four
Speaker 1: one Sean, if you want to be a part of
Speaker 1: the program. We continue now. Ambassador Nathan Sales with US
Speaker 1: served in the first Trump administration as an Ambassador at
Speaker 1: Large for counter Terrorism, acting under Secretary of State. At
Speaker 1: this point, it seems that there is one reactor left
Speaker 1: and that the Israelis have two options, either to use
Speaker 1: an American bunker buster bombs because it's buried. My understanding
Speaker 1: is miles underground, or a tactical nuke. I would prefer
Speaker 1: the bunker busters, but that's going to be, you know,
Speaker 1: between the President and Israel, and they're going to ultimately
Speaker 1: make that decision. But I don't think it can remain
Speaker 1: at all.
Speaker 3: Yeah, this is the Ford Dole plant, and it's the
Speaker 3: hardest target that the Iranians have. It's buried under about
Speaker 3: a half mile of mountain and it's really really difficult
Speaker 3: to get it unless you have a bunker buster bomb,
Speaker 3: which the United States has and which we have a
Speaker 3: platform for delivering it, namely the B two. So I
Speaker 3: think there's probably some very serious conversations going on right
Speaker 3: now about whether the United States will provide those capabilities
Speaker 3: to Israel or whether the United States will join the
Speaker 3: fight ourselves. I don't know where the President is on this,
Speaker 3: but this is a question that bears watching very closely,
Speaker 3: because we can't afford to eliminate a couple of nuclear
Speaker 3: sites here and there but leave Ford all intact. If
Speaker 3: Ford ou survives, the Iranian regimes and nuclear program survives,
Speaker 3: and that's a loss for Israel and a loss for US.
Speaker 1: I think that's well said, and I don't think that's
Speaker 1: a risk. If you've come this far and we're at
Speaker 1: the end of the process and you own the skies.
Speaker 1: They've not been able to build back their missile defense system.
Speaker 2: You know.
Speaker 1: The only risk we now have, and it is a
Speaker 1: real risk. Man, anytime you're involved in any military effort,
Speaker 1: I don't want to mitigate that risk. I don't want
Speaker 1: people to put their guard down. There is a risk
Speaker 1: and a risk to American lives. They've already killed many
Speaker 1: Americans in the past, and they do chant death to Israel,
Speaker 1: death to America, and they've threatened to hit the continental
Speaker 1: US with missiles also. But it's either you deal with
Speaker 1: it now when they're weakened and finish the job, or
Speaker 1: you run the risk that they would empower themselves and
Speaker 1: build up their military might even further.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think the lesson the Iranians are going to
Speaker 3: take from this war is we're a lot weaker than
Speaker 3: we thought we were. Israel has the ability to hurt
Speaker 3: us a lot more than we thought they did, So
Speaker 3: how do we protect ourselves from that? What I think
Speaker 3: and what I fear is the lesson they're going to
Speaker 3: draw is we need a nuclear bomb now more than ever,
Speaker 3: And so if you give give the regime that ability
Speaker 3: without destroying their program completely. My fears they are going
Speaker 3: to race harder than ever.
Speaker 1: Appreciate you being with us. Thank you, Ambassador Nathan Sales
Speaker 1: eight hundred and ninety four one number. If you want
Speaker 1: to be a part of the program and you're listening
Speaker 1: to the best of the Sean Hannity Show, we'll have
Speaker 1: more of your favorite guest topics and memorable moments. That's
Speaker 1: all coming up on Hannity Show, Draining the swamp on
Speaker 1: a corrupt politician at a time.
Speaker 3: This is the Sean Hannity Show.
Speaker 1: In a minute, we're going to head to the groundwork
Speaker 1: of bird's eye view of what's been happening to Tel Aviv.
Speaker 1: Amazing to watch the majority of Democrats are citing with
Speaker 1: the radical, virulent squad as represented by Congresswoman Omar. Listen
Speaker 1: to her comments.
Speaker 6: To be coming out of our country. I mean, I
Speaker 6: grew up in a dictatorship and I don't even remember
Speaker 6: ever witnessing anything like that. To have a democracy a
Speaker 6: peakan of hope for the world to now be turned
Speaker 6: into one of the you know, one of the worst
Speaker 6: countries where the military are in our streets without any
Speaker 6: regard for people's constitutional rights, while our president is spending
Speaker 6: millions of dollars prompting himself up like a failed dictator
Speaker 6: with a military parade. It is really shocking and it
Speaker 6: should be a wake up call for all Americans to say,
Speaker 6: this is not the country we were born in. This
Speaker 6: is not the country we believe in. This is not
Speaker 6: the country our founding fathers imagined, and this is not
Speaker 6: the country that is supported by our constitution, our ideals,
Speaker 6: our values, and we should all collectively be out in
Speaker 6: the streets rejecting what is taking place this week.
Speaker 1: That is Congresswoman Omar, that is the virulent anti Semitic
Speaker 1: wing of the Democratic Party. They and those that are
Speaker 1: not a part of it, Their silence has been deafening.
Speaker 1: The only voice that has been outspoken in support of
Speaker 1: Israel has been Pennsylvania Senator Democrat John Fetterman. Here's what
Speaker 1: he has said.
Speaker 5: Now, you say, show no mercy and if you have
Speaker 5: to take the supreme leader out, do it.
Speaker 3: Explain your position now, sir?
Speaker 7: Yeah, yeah. I think they should have targeted him absolutely,
Speaker 7: gone taking them out. I think the way Israel operates,
Speaker 7: they just take out the leadership, just like they did
Speaker 7: with Hesbela, and they've already done that with the Iranian leadership,
Speaker 7: just took them out, even laying in their beds. And
Speaker 7: they didn't take down the whole building. They actually targeted
Speaker 7: where they lay in bed. And now they eliminated the
Speaker 7: military ones and the nuclear ones. That's magnificent and the
Speaker 7: precision which they've done that, And I don't know why
Speaker 7: they would have lifted the leader out all right.
Speaker 1: Joining us now is Roy Katz. He is a journalist,
Speaker 1: TV and radio host in Israel. He's then in Tel
Speaker 1: Aviv as they have been witnessing and living through an
Speaker 1: onslaught of Iranian ballistic missiles. We became friendly with Roy
Speaker 1: when we were in Israel. A couple of times we
Speaker 1: broadcast from FM one O two out of Tel Aviv.
Speaker 1: And more importantly, they actually facilitated my ability from the
Speaker 1: United States to host a separate radio show, separate and
Speaker 1: apart from this one, just for the people in Israel.
Speaker 1: And Roy has been on the ground from day one,
Speaker 1: and he has been pointing out the Iranian stock exchange
Speaker 1: has been suspended in Israel. On the other hand, the
Speaker 1: stock exchange continues to operate, and the profound differences between
Speaker 1: the Israeli economy and that of the Iranian economy. The
Speaker 1: most amazing thing with Israel controlling the skies over the
Speaker 1: entire land mass of Iran. Anyway, Roy, great to have
Speaker 1: you back. I wish under out of circumstances. Our prayers
Speaker 1: are with you and the people of Israel. But this
Speaker 1: is a fight that has been a long time coming.
Speaker 1: I've been asking people on this radio show, how many
Speaker 1: missiles would it take fired into the United States at
Speaker 1: any small town or big city by an enemy and
Speaker 1: outside adversary before you would expect your military to fiercely
Speaker 1: defend your country and win that conflict and win that war. Now,
Speaker 1: since the times I've been through Israel, there've been hundreds
Speaker 1: of thousands of missiles that have been fired into Israel.
Speaker 1: And of course what happened on October seven, So this
Speaker 1: has been a long time coming. They have been fomenting
Speaker 1: terror hamas Saysbalah, Islamic jihad, the Huti rebels. Then you
Speaker 1: have the Syria militia, the Iraqi militia, and now firing
Speaker 1: ballistic missiles for the third time themselves. How are things
Speaker 1: on the ground.
Speaker 4: Well, first of all, thank you, Sean. It is great
Speaker 4: to talk with you again. I appreciate you giving me
Speaker 4: this platform to share the reality of what's happening in
Speaker 4: Tel Aviv and across Israel. You know, Israeli families are
Speaker 4: becoming just experts in sprinting to underground shelters in their pajamas.
Speaker 4: It's evening here in Tel Aviv. This is really our
Speaker 4: new normal. For the last couple of days. Israeli kids
Speaker 4: are you know, they're learning to count sirens. They mean
Speaker 4: ninety seconds to shelter. Now, no child should have that
Speaker 4: kind of mass homeworks. And you know, civilians killed by
Speaker 4: ballistic missiles in their own neighborhoods. And this is what
Speaker 4: happens when a terrorist regime targets civilian areas, you know,
Speaker 4: instead of military sites. And that's a regime that openly
Speaker 4: calls for wiping Israel off the mat while building nuclear weapons,
Speaker 4: and that isn't seeking peace. They are preparing genocide for us.
Speaker 4: And it's yeah, it's quite scary, I must admit.
Speaker 1: Well, the people of Israel are resilient, thank god. I mean, unfortunately,
Speaker 1: Israel has had to build out a bunker system that
Speaker 1: has prevented a far greater loss of life. The Israelis
Speaker 1: now have taken out two of the three big nuclear
Speaker 1: sites inside of Iran. Now there is a debate whether
Speaker 1: or not whether or not there'll be a joint operation
Speaker 1: between the United States and Israel, and the US would
Speaker 1: provide the bunker buster bombs and probably the B fifty
Speaker 1: twos to take that last facility out. The President has
Speaker 1: been steadfast, he has been unambiguous. He has been clear.
Speaker 1: Uh that is that Iran cannot have a nuclear weapon,
Speaker 1: and uh so I at the at the end of
Speaker 1: this process, at a minimum, the Iranians won't have a
Speaker 1: nuclear weapon. Now at that point, you know, probably the
Speaker 1: United State's role will be defending their troops in the region,
Speaker 1: their interest in the region, helping Israel defend against any
Speaker 1: missile attacks, which we've been doing and will continue to do.
Speaker 1: But then the Israelis are going to have to make
Speaker 1: a choice. They could wipe out their entire electric gas
Speaker 1: electric grid that's separated apart from their refineries. No electric
Speaker 1: power and no source of income, would absolutely devastate the regime.
Speaker 4: Your thoughts now, Sean, I heard your monologue the other
Speaker 4: day saying Iran cannot have a nuclear weapon, period, and
Speaker 4: that's the end of the sentence. Now, the US has
Speaker 4: the bunker busting bombs that can reach Iran's deep underground
Speaker 4: nuclear facilities and will need American firepower to finish this job.
Speaker 4: I think, and I want to say one more thing,
Speaker 4: I think America's choice is quite simple, because helping Israel
Speaker 4: destroy Iran's nuclear over now or facing a nuclear armed
Speaker 4: Iran threatening threatening American cities later.
Speaker 3: Now.
Speaker 4: Every day America waits to join this fight is another day.
Speaker 4: I think Iran is getting closer to putting nuclear warheads
Speaker 4: on missile aimed at New York City. Now. I know
Speaker 4: there is a big argument in the States. I know
Speaker 4: there is a big argument even in them.
Speaker 1: It's really, it's really not that big. The poll came
Speaker 1: out today by two of our favorite posters. They nailed
Speaker 1: the twenty sixteen, twenty twenty, and twenty twenty four election,
Speaker 1: and it was overwhelming and it was incontrovertible that the
Speaker 1: question was, what is your opinion of President Trump's position
Speaker 1: that Iran must be prevented from developing a nuclear weapon
Speaker 1: by any means necessary. Seventy four percent to twenty three
Speaker 1: percent favored the President taking that side out. The president
Speaker 1: clearly by warning Tehran and the citizens that Teyran to
Speaker 1: get out, I think is sending a clear message a
Speaker 1: lot like Israel. They care, We care about human life,
Speaker 1: unlike the Iranians. But it seems imminent to me.
Speaker 4: I'm happy to hear it. I mean, what we see
Speaker 4: on media is an argument between you know, both parties
Speaker 4: in the States and within the GOP. But I'm happy
Speaker 4: to hear your answer. Now, when we're talking politics, I
Speaker 4: want to mention one more thing. You know, when I
Speaker 4: see Israel's harshest opposition leaders stand with the government on
Speaker 4: this war, you know that the threat is real. You know,
Speaker 4: politics stops at survival, and our opposition parties fight the government,
Speaker 4: fight Nataniel on everything, but except when it comes to
Speaker 4: preventing a second Holocaust. Now, left wing politicians who spent
Speaker 4: years criticizing Prime Minister Nathania are now saying we support
Speaker 4: this operation. And that tells you, and that tells the
Speaker 4: audience everything about Iran the danger. Because opposition leaders are
Speaker 4: in Israel are telling their supporters we rezum fighting Nathaniel
Speaker 4: after we finish fighting Iran's nuclear program. And that tells
Speaker 4: a lot, because you know, in a democracy where politicians
Speaker 4: argue about everything we see here in Israel. Almost unanimous
Speaker 4: support for this operation, and that speaks louder I think
Speaker 4: than any intelligence briefing.
Speaker 1: All right, quick freak, We'll come back more with Roy Katz.
Speaker 1: He's a friend of ours, journalist, TV radio host. We
Speaker 1: continue now. Roy Katz is a friend of the program.
Speaker 1: He's a journalist, TV radio host. He's in Tel Aviv.
Speaker 1: We continue with Roy Katz. Now, what is it like
Speaker 1: when the sirens are going off and people are rushing
Speaker 1: down into underground bunkers and you see the incredible success.
Speaker 1: The IDEF says they're about ninety five percent successful and
Speaker 1: preventing these ballistic missiles that are more powerful than ever,
Speaker 1: which I think needs to be pointed out that they
Speaker 1: have been building up. I call it their Plan B,
Speaker 1: which is to try and overwhelm the iron dome that
Speaker 1: Israel has used so successfully over the years. But yet
Speaker 1: five percent of those missiles are hitting some targets. The
Speaker 1: death toll is much much lower than it would otherwise
Speaker 1: be had Israel not been always preparing for this inevitable moment,
Speaker 1: knowing the hostilities that surround it. But many, many lives
Speaker 1: have been saved because the Israelis have rightly prepared for
Speaker 1: what was obviously becoming an inevitable conflict. On top of
Speaker 1: the fact that I think it's one of the most
Speaker 1: incredible military operations, going back to the Pager incident, going
Speaker 1: back to taking out the top leaders of Hamas and
Speaker 1: Hzbalah and Azralla, and then getting deep inside penetrating within
Speaker 1: the territories of Iran with the massade and having you know,
Speaker 1: these these drones take out the scientists and military leaders
Speaker 1: and other sites. I mean, it has been spectacular to watch.
Speaker 1: I would argue Roy that this is going to be
Speaker 1: studied for the next two hundred years.
Speaker 4: Oh, I totally agree with that. And we started at
Speaker 4: a very low point. You know, on October seventh, they're
Speaker 4: encouraged by Hamad. You know, they slaughter us in beds,
Speaker 4: raped women and kill children. A year and nine months later,
Speaker 4: we control the air over Tehran. It's significant. It's significant.
Speaker 4: I want to share with you. You know, when the
Speaker 4: sirens goes off here two or three times at night,
Speaker 4: I admit it's scary. You know. I grabbed my kid,
Speaker 4: I grabbed my wife. We have ninety minutes to go
Speaker 4: into the bomb shelter. I'm not going to lie to you, Sean.
Speaker 4: It is it is scary, but we know, we know
Speaker 4: that we are not fighting for territory, we are not
Speaker 4: fighting for resources. We are fighting against a regime that
Speaker 4: has made our destruction their religious mission. And you know,
Speaker 4: the choice for us is quite it's quite simple. You know,
Speaker 4: stop the nuclear weapons program now or explain to future generations,
Speaker 4: not only in Israel, not only in Israel, why we
Speaker 4: let this genocidal terrorists get the A bomb.
Speaker 1: Well, they can't and they won't and you know, the
Speaker 1: world will You know, in the eighties, when Israel took
Speaker 1: out the Iraqi sites, there was worldwide condemnation. They did
Speaker 1: you did the world the favor when they took out
Speaker 1: Syrian sights that got very little fanfare, and they flew
Speaker 1: the low their radar detection systems. It was an incredible
Speaker 1: military operation. What is going on here is a necessity.
Speaker 1: And the difference now is there's an American president that
Speaker 1: has the moral clarity to understand that Iran can never
Speaker 1: have nuclear weapons and they won't have nuclear weapons and
Speaker 1: that will prevent the possibility of a modern day holocaust.
Speaker 1: Is that that is as simple, basic, fundamental common sense
Speaker 1: as you can ever expect. Roy, are prayers with you.
Speaker 1: Our prayers are with the people of Israel, the Prime Minister,
Speaker 1: and godspeed in your mission. This is going to be
Speaker 1: the world will be a safer place as a result
Speaker 1: of all of this. And although no mission is without risk,
Speaker 1: and we pray for everyone's safety.
Speaker 4: Thanks for having me, Sean, Thank you and hope to
Speaker 4: see you soon in the back here in Tel Aviv.
Speaker 4: I appreciate well.
Speaker 1: I want to go to Tel Aviv because they have
Speaker 1: the best view of the Mediterranean and they also have
Speaker 1: some of the best food, so that's where I like
Speaker 1: to eat.
