1 00:00:01,840 --> 00:00:06,080 Speaker 1: This Iotola regime has been raping and pillaging the country 2 00:00:06,200 --> 00:00:09,119 Speaker 1: for forty seven years. We are trying to protect our interests. 3 00:00:09,200 --> 00:00:11,640 Speaker 1: We as the United States, and the president is a 4 00:00:11,680 --> 00:00:14,480 Speaker 1: first president in forty seven years. I actually have a 5 00:00:14,520 --> 00:00:17,440 Speaker 1: backbone to do something about it. They've been attacking us, 6 00:00:17,800 --> 00:00:21,040 Speaker 1: they've been attacking our interest they've been attacking our assets, 7 00:00:21,800 --> 00:00:25,639 Speaker 1: and they've been doing it without even being apologetic. They've 8 00:00:25,680 --> 00:00:28,240 Speaker 1: bragged about it, and we have just tried to appease 9 00:00:28,320 --> 00:00:30,920 Speaker 1: them over the years, and President Trump said enough enough. 10 00:00:31,240 --> 00:00:35,400 Speaker 2: You're listening to the forty seven Morning Update with Ben ferguson. 11 00:00:34,920 --> 00:00:36,960 Speaker 3: Good Tuesday morning.

As Operation Epic Fury intensifies, the 20 00:01:04,760 --> 00:01:08,039 Speaker 3: world braces for what comes next, and people of faith 21 00:01:08,240 --> 00:01:11,760 Speaker 3: pray for freedom and for God's people to be protected 22 00:01:12,200 --> 00:01:15,720 Speaker 3: in the Holy Land. Red alert sirens fill the air, 23 00:01:16,319 --> 00:01:19,520 Speaker 3: sirens that give you fifteen seconds to reach the nearest 24 00:01:19,520 --> 00:01:24,360 Speaker 3: bomb shelter. The situation is serious and the threat is real. 25 00:01:24,880 --> 00:01:29,320 Speaker 3: In times like this, freedom and faith aren't just abstract ideas. 26 00:01:29,800 --> 00:01:33,800 Speaker 3: They are what we depend on.

The military operation against 43 00:02:39,600 --> 00:02:43,280 Speaker 3: Iran has entered its third day, with strikes against targets 44 00:02:43,280 --> 00:02:48,000 Speaker 3: inside Iran and interceptions of Iranian aircraft, Iranian missiles and 45 00:02:48,160 --> 00:02:51,760 Speaker 3: drones attempting to land blows across the Middle East and 46 00:02:51,919 --> 00:02:56,280 Speaker 3: the Eastern Mediterranean. Is very much ongoing at this moment. 47 00:02:56,960 --> 00:03:00,520 Speaker 3: We know that the Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Ettnya has 48 00:03:00,600 --> 00:03:04,960 Speaker 3: rejected the notion that Israel dragged the United States into 49 00:03:05,000 --> 00:03:10,200 Speaker 3: war with Iran, telling Sean Hannity on Fox News, that's ridiculous. 50 00:03:10,639 --> 00:03:12,519 Speaker 3: He also went on to say that Donald Trump is 51 00:03:12,560 --> 00:03:15,520 Speaker 3: the strongest leader in the world. He does what he 52 00:03:15,560 --> 00:03:18,960 Speaker 3: thinks is right for America, and he also does what 53 00:03:19,000 --> 00:03:23,640 Speaker 3: he thinks is right for future generations. Earlier, US Secretary 54 00:03:23,680 --> 00:03:26,760 Speaker 3: of State Marco Rubio said that the threat posed by 55 00:03:26,760 --> 00:03:31,840 Speaker 3: Iran to the United States was in fact imminent, contradicting 56 00:03:31,880 --> 00:03:33,800 Speaker 3: what many on the left had been saying for the 57 00:03:33,840 --> 00:03:37,200 Speaker 3: last twenty four hours. The White House, he also says, 58 00:03:37,320 --> 00:03:40,640 Speaker 3: had intelligence that the Islamic regime had planned to attack 59 00:03:40,720 --> 00:03:43,920 Speaker 3: American assets in the region in the event of an 60 00:03:44,080 --> 00:03:48,920 Speaker 3: impeding strike on its missile program by Israel. Marco Rubio 61 00:03:49,000 --> 00:03:52,720 Speaker 3: also added that the timing of the strike was also 62 00:03:52,760 --> 00:03:57,120 Speaker 3: influenced by desire to prevent the currently weakened Iran from 63 00:03:57,160 --> 00:04:01,360 Speaker 3: building up its missile and drone programs against strikes on 64 00:04:01,440 --> 00:04:05,400 Speaker 3: its nuclear program that clearly they have been trying to 65 00:04:05,600 --> 00:04:09,160 Speaker 3: use to say, as they put it, to kill America 66 00:04:09,240 --> 00:04:13,000 Speaker 3: and to kill Israel. We also know that the official 67 00:04:13,040 --> 00:04:16,560 Speaker 3: spokesman for Saudi Arabia's Ministry of Defense said that its 68 00:04:16,680 --> 00:04:20,919 Speaker 3: forces have intercepted and destroyed eight drones that have come 69 00:04:21,000 --> 00:04:25,440 Speaker 3: in from Iran. It comes after Saudi Arabia revealed that 70 00:04:25,520 --> 00:04:29,360 Speaker 3: two drones were successful in striking the US embassy there. 71 00:04:29,839 --> 00:04:33,799 Speaker 3: The attack resulted in a fire and minor material damage 72 00:04:33,839 --> 00:04:37,800 Speaker 3: to the building, but reportedly did not cause any injuries 73 00:04:37,839 --> 00:04:42,240 Speaker 3: to US personnel. We also know that US Vice President 74 00:04:42,440 --> 00:04:46,240 Speaker 3: JD Vance said there is no way the President Trump 75 00:04:46,320 --> 00:04:49,560 Speaker 3: will enter the United States in a multi year conflict 76 00:04:50,000 --> 00:04:53,680 Speaker 3: in Iran. Speaking to Jesse Waters of Fox News, the 77 00:04:53,760 --> 00:04:56,920 Speaker 3: Vice President said, We're not going to get into the 78 00:04:56,960 --> 00:05:01,599 Speaker 3: problems that we've had with Iraq in our Afghanistan. After 79 00:05:01,680 --> 00:05:02,960 Speaker 3: Iraq and Afghanistan. 80 00:05:03,080 --> 00:05:05,440 Speaker 1: Some people say, up here we go again. 81 00:05:06,200 --> 00:05:08,240 Speaker 4: Is that something here you're thinking about? 82 00:05:08,760 --> 00:05:11,640 Speaker 5: Well, Jesse, if you think back to Afghanistan, twenty years 83 00:05:11,720 --> 00:05:14,560 Speaker 5: of mission creep, twenty years of not having a clear objective, 84 00:05:14,600 --> 00:05:17,160 Speaker 5: in twenty years of the United States trying to bring 85 00:05:17,560 --> 00:05:21,239 Speaker 5: liberal democracy to Afghanistan, Iraq was a little bit shorter, 86 00:05:21,320 --> 00:05:23,120 Speaker 5: but we were still in that country for nearly a 87 00:05:23,200 --> 00:05:26,560 Speaker 5: decade with no clear mission, no clear definition. What's so 88 00:05:26,640 --> 00:05:29,560 Speaker 5: different about this, Jesse, is that the president has clearly 89 00:05:29,600 --> 00:05:32,880 Speaker 5: defined what he wants to accomplish, and there's just no way. 90 00:05:32,960 --> 00:05:35,719 Speaker 5: I said this before the conflict started or repeated again, 91 00:05:36,080 --> 00:05:38,160 Speaker 5: there's just no way that Donald Trump is going to 92 00:05:38,200 --> 00:05:41,280 Speaker 5: allow this country to get into a multi year conflict 93 00:05:41,320 --> 00:05:43,760 Speaker 5: with no clear end in sight and no clear objective. 94 00:05:44,120 --> 00:05:47,000 Speaker 5: What is different about President Trump, and it's frankly different 95 00:05:47,040 --> 00:05:50,640 Speaker 5: about both Republicans and Democrats of the past, is that 96 00:05:50,680 --> 00:05:52,680 Speaker 5: he's not going to let his country go to war 97 00:05:52,760 --> 00:05:56,120 Speaker 5: unless there's a clearly defined objective. He's defined that objective 98 00:05:56,160 --> 00:05:58,400 Speaker 5: as a RAN cannot have a nuclear weapon and has 99 00:05:58,440 --> 00:06:01,159 Speaker 5: to commit long term and never trying to rebuild the 100 00:06:01,240 --> 00:06:04,719 Speaker 5: nuclear capability. It's pretty clear. It's pretty simple, and I 101 00:06:04,720 --> 00:06:06,480 Speaker 5: think that means that we're not going to get into 102 00:06:06,520 --> 00:06:08,840 Speaker 5: the problems that we've had with Iraq in Afghanistan. 103 00:06:09,240 --> 00:06:11,560 Speaker 3: Now, Jeddie Vance was not the only one that was 104 00:06:11,640 --> 00:06:16,040 Speaker 3: doing interviews. Israel's Prime Minister Benjamin Nette Yahoo went on 105 00:06:16,080 --> 00:06:19,479 Speaker 3: TV to debunk the claims that Israel dragged the US 106 00:06:19,600 --> 00:06:23,800 Speaker 3: into striking Iran, sitting down with Sean Hannity, and here's 107 00:06:23,839 --> 00:06:26,440 Speaker 3: what he said. And I want to ask you this. 108 00:06:26,680 --> 00:06:29,200 Speaker 4: You know, there are people that say, well, the Prime 109 00:06:29,200 --> 00:06:32,480 Speaker 4: Minister of Israel dragged Donald Trump into it. And as 110 00:06:32,480 --> 00:06:35,359 Speaker 4: somebody that's been friends with him over thirty years, nobody 111 00:06:35,480 --> 00:06:38,120 Speaker 4: drags Donald Trump into anything, number one. But I want 112 00:06:38,120 --> 00:06:39,240 Speaker 4: to get your reaction to that. 113 00:06:39,920 --> 00:06:43,560 Speaker 6: I mean, that's ridiculous. Donald Trump is the strongest leader 114 00:06:43,560 --> 00:06:46,640 Speaker 6: in the world. He does what he thinks is right 115 00:06:46,680 --> 00:06:49,480 Speaker 6: for America. He does also what he thinks is right 116 00:06:49,520 --> 00:06:53,840 Speaker 6: for future generations. And frankly, we're partners in that effort 117 00:06:53,920 --> 00:06:58,120 Speaker 6: because I've devoted my life to securing the life of 118 00:06:58,160 --> 00:07:01,320 Speaker 6: the one and only Jewish state. And believe me, it's 119 00:07:01,320 --> 00:07:04,000 Speaker 6: been a struggle. I've known the pangs of war. I 120 00:07:04,000 --> 00:07:08,520 Speaker 6: lost a brother in war, in battle, I myself fought 121 00:07:08,600 --> 00:07:13,280 Speaker 6: terraces and was wounded in liberating hostages from a hijacked plane. 122 00:07:16,360 --> 00:07:19,480 Speaker 6: I held a fellow soldier in my arms when I 123 00:07:19,520 --> 00:07:22,200 Speaker 6: was eighteen, and he died in my arms. I know 124 00:07:22,480 --> 00:07:25,120 Speaker 6: the cost of war, but I know sometimes the war 125 00:07:25,160 --> 00:07:28,080 Speaker 6: is necessary to protect us from the people who would 126 00:07:28,120 --> 00:07:31,640 Speaker 6: destroy us. And that's what free societies have to understand. 127 00:07:32,520 --> 00:07:36,280 Speaker 6: Freedom is precious, but it has to be protected. And 128 00:07:36,320 --> 00:07:40,080 Speaker 6: we have to understand that we're fighting here. We're fighting 129 00:07:40,120 --> 00:07:44,160 Speaker 6: here the bad guys. We're the good guys. These people 130 00:07:44,320 --> 00:07:48,200 Speaker 6: massacred their own people. Imagine what they would do. These 131 00:07:48,240 --> 00:07:51,080 Speaker 6: people would chant death to America if they had the 132 00:07:51,280 --> 00:07:54,720 Speaker 6: ballistic missiles and the nuclear warheads to deliver it to 133 00:07:54,960 --> 00:07:58,600 Speaker 6: every American city. Do you want to wait? Do you 134 00:07:58,600 --> 00:08:01,520 Speaker 6: want to that You're future on whether they would do 135 00:08:01,560 --> 00:08:03,720 Speaker 6: it or they would not do it. I mean, look, 136 00:08:03,920 --> 00:08:08,040 Speaker 6: nobody's stopping off Korea, so they now have ballistic missiles 137 00:08:08,040 --> 00:08:11,960 Speaker 6: and nuclear war warheads, but they don't say death to America. 138 00:08:12,280 --> 00:08:17,160 Speaker 6: Iran is fifty North Koreas. Iran is committed to your destruction, 139 00:08:17,680 --> 00:08:21,160 Speaker 6: and whether people understand it or not, the leader has 140 00:08:21,200 --> 00:08:24,800 Speaker 6: to understand it. Donald Trump understands it. You don't have 141 00:08:24,840 --> 00:08:28,440 Speaker 6: to drag him into anything, and nobody would do it anyway. 142 00:08:28,560 --> 00:08:31,640 Speaker 6: He does what he thinks is right, and this is right. 143 00:08:32,040 --> 00:08:34,880 Speaker 3: Net Yeah, who wasn't done there. He also said one 144 00:08:34,880 --> 00:08:37,960 Speaker 3: of the great things about working with President Donald Trump 145 00:08:38,000 --> 00:08:41,440 Speaker 3: is that Trump is always understood the real threat that 146 00:08:41,480 --> 00:08:43,960 Speaker 3: Iran has not only the US but to the rest 147 00:08:44,000 --> 00:08:44,559 Speaker 3: of the world. 148 00:08:45,400 --> 00:08:51,680 Speaker 6: Well, you know when America the indispensable ally for Israel 149 00:08:51,920 --> 00:08:55,360 Speaker 6: and the greatest power in the world, and Israel America's 150 00:08:55,360 --> 00:08:58,480 Speaker 6: model ally is the National Security Council just called it. 151 00:08:59,120 --> 00:09:03,080 Speaker 6: When we work together, either amazing things happen. We worked together, 152 00:09:03,360 --> 00:09:05,960 Speaker 6: and amazing things happened. But I have to tell you 153 00:09:06,000 --> 00:09:09,960 Speaker 6: that it wouldn't happen without the leadership of President Trump 154 00:09:10,800 --> 00:09:15,199 Speaker 6: because he just you know, I met him in mar Lago. 155 00:09:15,360 --> 00:09:17,360 Speaker 6: You may remember this because I think you live close 156 00:09:17,360 --> 00:09:19,959 Speaker 6: by and I saw you at that time, right before 157 00:09:20,080 --> 00:09:24,080 Speaker 6: his reelection, okay, and or before is there he was 158 00:09:24,120 --> 00:09:27,959 Speaker 6: inaugurated the second time and we met. We met in 159 00:09:28,040 --> 00:09:31,760 Speaker 6: mar Lago, and the first thing that Donald Trump said 160 00:09:31,760 --> 00:09:35,480 Speaker 6: to me, he said, you know, we have to prevent 161 00:09:35,600 --> 00:09:39,400 Speaker 6: Iran from getting nukes, as simple as that. He said 162 00:09:39,440 --> 00:09:42,640 Speaker 6: that because he saw that as a clear and present 163 00:09:42,760 --> 00:09:46,360 Speaker 6: danger to the security and wellbeing of the United States. 164 00:09:46,760 --> 00:09:49,880 Speaker 6: To have a regime like that so fanatic that it 165 00:09:50,040 --> 00:09:56,479 Speaker 6: just defines itself by destroying America, exporting revolution, exporting terrorism, 166 00:09:56,800 --> 00:10:02,080 Speaker 6: exporting the worst Islamist fanaticism that attacks Arabs, attacks is Raelies, 167 00:10:02,120 --> 00:10:06,920 Speaker 6: attacks Americans, attacks everyone inside. They just fired. Now they're 168 00:10:07,000 --> 00:10:11,040 Speaker 6: beliefs in sight around the police, including Cyprus in Europe. 169 00:10:11,280 --> 00:10:14,480 Speaker 6: To have a regime like that that plans to eradicate 170 00:10:14,480 --> 00:10:18,079 Speaker 6: the United States have the weapons of mass death would 171 00:10:18,080 --> 00:10:21,480 Speaker 6: have been the greatest threat that America would face in 172 00:10:21,520 --> 00:10:23,760 Speaker 6: the coming decades. And so he said to me right 173 00:10:23,880 --> 00:10:25,720 Speaker 6: off the bat, I didn't say to him. He said 174 00:10:25,760 --> 00:10:28,640 Speaker 6: to me, we have to make sure they never get 175 00:10:28,640 --> 00:10:31,800 Speaker 6: the nukes. And that's what he did. We tried first 176 00:10:31,800 --> 00:10:35,920 Speaker 6: to take them out in midnight Hammer and Rising Line operation, 177 00:10:36,360 --> 00:10:38,240 Speaker 6: and we took out their missile sites. But then they 178 00:10:38,280 --> 00:10:41,600 Speaker 6: started again their missile and nuclear sites. They didn't learn 179 00:10:41,640 --> 00:10:45,079 Speaker 6: the lesson. He tried to get negotiations, He negotiated with them, 180 00:10:45,120 --> 00:10:47,720 Speaker 6: they didn't get it. They tried to string them along. 181 00:10:48,160 --> 00:10:51,439 Speaker 6: So action had to be taken, and we took it. 182 00:10:51,440 --> 00:10:54,320 Speaker 3: It is very clear after hearing NT Yahu speak on 183 00:10:54,480 --> 00:10:57,199 Speaker 3: Fox News Channel that the President and Hammer side by 184 00:10:57,280 --> 00:11:00,000 Speaker 3: side his allies, making sure that Iran is no longer 185 00:11:00,120 --> 00:11:03,319 Speaker 3: great threat not only to Israel, but to Americans in 186 00:11:03,360 --> 00:11:07,120 Speaker 3: the Middle East and also in this country, which brings 187 00:11:07,200 --> 00:11:10,880 Speaker 3: us to Pete Headseth. Pete Headseth having a press conference 188 00:11:11,080 --> 00:11:15,000 Speaker 3: at the Pentagon and after answering questions for quite some time, 189 00:11:15,600 --> 00:11:18,240 Speaker 3: he wanted to make sure he gave his last two 190 00:11:18,280 --> 00:11:21,680 Speaker 3: minutes of his statement to talk directly to the men 191 00:11:21,800 --> 00:11:26,079 Speaker 3: and women that are protecting and serving. He also wanted 192 00:11:26,120 --> 00:11:28,160 Speaker 3: to reassure the men and women in uniform that he 193 00:11:28,280 --> 00:11:31,040 Speaker 3: is not going to get you into a never ending 194 00:11:31,080 --> 00:11:35,840 Speaker 3: war like Afghanistan or Iraq and the Pentagon giving this 195 00:11:36,000 --> 00:11:40,160 Speaker 3: update but then speaking directly to our warriors, and it's important, 196 00:11:40,200 --> 00:11:43,000 Speaker 3: I think for every American to hear exactly what he 197 00:11:43,040 --> 00:11:44,280 Speaker 3: said at the Pentagon. 198 00:11:44,760 --> 00:11:48,520 Speaker 7: Let me speak straight to you. The Joint Force are 199 00:11:48,559 --> 00:11:51,720 Speaker 7: warriors on the front lines. This is your moment. This 200 00:11:51,840 --> 00:11:54,480 Speaker 7: is the generational turning point America has waited for since 201 00:11:54,520 --> 00:11:57,440 Speaker 7: nineteen seventy nine and since the rudderless Wars of Hubris. 202 00:11:57,679 --> 00:12:01,160 Speaker 7: My generation, our generation endured. Don't listen to the noise 203 00:12:01,679 --> 00:12:04,839 Speaker 7: just stay focused. Our commander in chief is steady at 204 00:12:04,920 --> 00:12:08,480 Speaker 7: the wheel. We face a determined enemy, but you are better. 205 00:12:08,720 --> 00:12:11,080 Speaker 7: But we must prove it every single day. History doesn't 206 00:12:11,080 --> 00:12:13,920 Speaker 7: care if we're tired, if we're scared, or if the 207 00:12:13,960 --> 00:12:18,280 Speaker 7: fight feels big. It demands warriors who rise anyway. Peace 208 00:12:18,320 --> 00:12:23,120 Speaker 7: through strength, the warrior ethos, lethality, unity of purpose. Those 209 00:12:23,200 --> 00:12:26,640 Speaker 7: are not slogans. They're the beating heart of what it 210 00:12:26,679 --> 00:12:30,079 Speaker 7: means to wear the uniform. That uniform you think clearly 211 00:12:30,200 --> 00:12:34,360 Speaker 7: under fire, You act decisively in chaos. You uphold the Constitution, 212 00:12:34,960 --> 00:12:37,800 Speaker 7: and you uphold our country without hesitation. We are not 213 00:12:37,960 --> 00:12:42,280 Speaker 7: defenders anymore. We are warriors train to kill the enemy 214 00:12:42,320 --> 00:12:45,680 Speaker 7: and break their will. History is watching be the force. 215 00:12:45,920 --> 00:12:51,800 Speaker 7: You swore an oath to be focused, disciplined, lethal, and unbreakable. 216 00:12:52,280 --> 00:12:57,040 Speaker 7: We will finish this on America first conditions of President 217 00:12:57,080 --> 00:13:01,480 Speaker 7: Trump's choosing, nobody else's as it should be. And know 218 00:13:01,600 --> 00:13:06,320 Speaker 7: this above all, President Trump and I have your back, always, 219 00:13:06,840 --> 00:13:12,840 Speaker 7: through fire, through criticism, through fake news, through everything.

May Almighty 222 00:13:21,520 --> 00:13:25,480 Speaker 7: God watch over you and his providential arms of protection, 223 00:13:26,080 --> 00:13:30,000 Speaker 7: extend over you. God speed warriors and keep going. 224 00:13:29,920 --> 00:13:32,920 Speaker 3: God speed warriors, and keep going. A prayer there from 225 00:13:33,000 --> 00:13:38,400 Speaker 3: the Secretary of War talking directly to our warriors, telling 226 00:13:38,440 --> 00:13:41,960 Speaker 3: them exactly what they should expect. I got to say, 227 00:13:42,360 --> 00:13:45,400 Speaker 3: it's something I wish we'd seen from other people that 228 00:13:45,440 --> 00:13:47,960 Speaker 3: were in charge of the Pentagon. One thing is for 229 00:13:48,040 --> 00:13:52,720 Speaker 3: sure from this administration, they are being overly transparent about 230 00:13:52,760 --> 00:13:56,280 Speaker 3: their goals, their wishes, and their desires when it comes 231 00:13:56,320 --> 00:13:59,440 Speaker 3: to what's happening in Iran. And taking that two minutes 232 00:13:59,480 --> 00:14:02,120 Speaker 3: in force against to pray and speak directly to our 233 00:14:02,160 --> 00:14:05,160 Speaker 3: men and women in uniform is something new, and I 234 00:14:05,200 --> 00:14:08,200 Speaker 3: hope it's a trend that everybody in this position the 235 00:14:08,240 --> 00:14:09,680 Speaker 3: future will do as well. 236 00:14:09,720 --> 00:14:12,400 Speaker 2: Thank you for listening to the forty seven Morning Update 237 00:14:12,559 --> 00:14:16,640 Speaker 2: with Ben Ferguson.
