Headline New York 5 00:00:10,440 --> 00:00:14,960 Speaker 1: Post today nuclear talks strike out goes on to say 6 00:00:15,160 --> 00:00:19,880 Speaker 1: Ran left talks with the US. This is Switzerland in 7 00:00:20,000 --> 00:00:25,119 Speaker 1: Geneva without a deal to end their nuclear program. State 8 00:00:25,200 --> 00:00:29,080 Speaker 1: Run TV actually confirmed that they'll never give up their 9 00:00:29,440 --> 00:00:33,800 Speaker 1: right to enrich uranium. And with President Trump's self imposed 10 00:00:33,840 --> 00:00:37,800 Speaker 1: deadline to reach an agreement now coming to an end 11 00:00:38,000 --> 00:00:41,479 Speaker 1: as soon as this weekend. I think Donald Trump is 12 00:00:41,520 --> 00:00:45,280 Speaker 1: pretty predictable, and we now know what is likely to 13 00:00:45,280 --> 00:00:47,360 Speaker 1: happen next. We're going to full report throughout the show. 14 00:00:47,400 --> 00:00:50,400 Speaker 1: We're going to be monitoring the situation on the ground. 15 00:00:51,000 --> 00:00:54,400 Speaker 1: I can tell you both the State Department and that 16 00:00:54,480 --> 00:00:59,120 Speaker 1: Secretary of State Mark or Rubio, and also the US 17 00:00:59,160 --> 00:01:02,000 Speaker 1: Ambassador to Israel, Mike Huckabee said, if you want to 18 00:01:02,040 --> 00:01:04,880 Speaker 1: get out, get out now. There was a picture in 19 00:01:04,920 --> 00:01:08,480 Speaker 1: this New York Post a stark, huge anti American message 20 00:01:08,920 --> 00:01:12,959 Speaker 1: displayed in the Iranian capital of Tehran. As these tensions mount, 21 00:01:13,400 --> 00:01:16,440 Speaker 1: the President did say help is on the way, and 22 00:01:16,480 --> 00:01:19,800 Speaker 1: the President said he prefers peace, but he said that 23 00:01:19,920 --> 00:01:23,080 Speaker 1: the last time too, before Operation Midnight Hammer knocked out 24 00:01:23,120 --> 00:01:26,600 Speaker 1: and obliterated their nuclear facilities. Now we do know that 25 00:01:26,680 --> 00:01:32,680 Speaker 1: the uranium that the Iranians had, uranium that had been enriched, 26 00:01:32,720 --> 00:01:36,240 Speaker 1: that they had moved to other locations. We don't know 27 00:01:36,280 --> 00:01:41,000 Speaker 1: how much they have, although Steve Witkoff, the Middle Eastern envoy, 28 00:01:41,080 --> 00:01:44,200 Speaker 1: has said that, you know, he believes that they might 29 00:01:44,280 --> 00:01:47,000 Speaker 1: have much more than we knew, and that makes it 30 00:01:47,040 --> 00:01:50,560 Speaker 1: an even you know, greater pressure cooker, if you will. 31 00:01:51,880 --> 00:01:56,320 Speaker 1: But as this deadline, pressure mounts, and you know, yesterday's 32 00:01:56,360 --> 00:01:59,640 Speaker 1: meeting took place one week after President Trump told the 33 00:01:59,760 --> 00:02:03,640 Speaker 1: Bar to Peace that he would decide whether to hit 34 00:02:04,200 --> 00:02:09,119 Speaker 1: this radicals, you know, Islamic fascist regime. By the way, 35 00:02:09,200 --> 00:02:14,040 Speaker 1: we're talking about radical Islamis. I'm not talking about anything 36 00:02:14,080 --> 00:02:16,880 Speaker 1: other than that. We know what Iran is, the number 37 00:02:16,919 --> 00:02:20,840 Speaker 1: one state sponsor of terror. They have been fomenting nothing 38 00:02:20,880 --> 00:02:23,960 Speaker 1: but death and terror in the region for a long time, 39 00:02:24,720 --> 00:02:27,679 Speaker 1: serving as the proxies. You know, they have their proxies 40 00:02:27,720 --> 00:02:31,440 Speaker 1: all out throughout the region, Amasa and Gaza has Balah 41 00:02:31,639 --> 00:02:36,760 Speaker 1: in Lebanon, the Huti rebels. This is if I had 42 00:02:36,800 --> 00:02:39,400 Speaker 1: to guess this will be the end of this regime, 43 00:02:40,240 --> 00:02:42,640 Speaker 1: I don't think they will be able to survive. We 44 00:02:42,800 --> 00:02:48,000 Speaker 1: have the largest military presence build up in the region 45 00:02:48,560 --> 00:02:49,400 Speaker 1: that we've had. 46 00:02:49,240 --> 00:02:50,760 Speaker 2: Since the Gulf War. 47 00:02:50,880 --> 00:02:54,360 Speaker 1: And if you remember shock and Awe, I think Donald 48 00:02:54,520 --> 00:02:57,120 Speaker 1: Trump has already proven he's a shock and all guy, 49 00:02:57,800 --> 00:03:00,840 Speaker 1: and in keeping with the Trump doctrite. Now, I know 50 00:03:01,120 --> 00:03:06,040 Speaker 1: there are some that claim that the Trump doctrine and 51 00:03:06,360 --> 00:03:10,760 Speaker 1: they clearly don't understand it because they clearly don't comprehend 52 00:03:10,960 --> 00:03:15,040 Speaker 1: how Donald Trump is rolling. Whatever he does do, I 53 00:03:15,160 --> 00:03:19,400 Speaker 1: believe will be consistent with the Trump doctrine of no 54 00:03:19,520 --> 00:03:24,360 Speaker 1: forever war and no forever wars period and no boots 55 00:03:24,400 --> 00:03:27,640 Speaker 1: on the ground period. And I've been telling people for 56 00:03:27,720 --> 00:03:31,880 Speaker 1: the longest time the future wars and conflicts are likely 57 00:03:32,120 --> 00:03:36,280 Speaker 1: not going to be fought conventionally on battlefields, especially with 58 00:03:36,520 --> 00:03:41,080 Speaker 1: emerging technology, the next generation of weaponry. And you can 59 00:03:41,080 --> 00:03:45,280 Speaker 1: already see this unfold. I mean, you know, in the 60 00:03:45,400 --> 00:03:49,400 Speaker 1: Twelve Day War, when Iran was firing all these two 61 00:03:49,440 --> 00:03:52,200 Speaker 1: thousand pound ballistic missiles, now they have four thousand pound 62 00:03:52,240 --> 00:03:55,200 Speaker 1: ballistic missiles. According to intelligence and reports that have been 63 00:03:55,200 --> 00:04:01,000 Speaker 1: made public that this is a regime held on death. 64 00:04:01,880 --> 00:04:05,640 Speaker 1: And you would think after fourteen bunker buster bombs were 65 00:04:05,720 --> 00:04:09,880 Speaker 1: dropped on their nuclear facilities, and the fact that the 66 00:04:10,000 --> 00:04:14,720 Speaker 1: Israelis were so sophisticated they even took out the scientists 67 00:04:14,760 --> 00:04:18,640 Speaker 1: responsible for the nuclear program, just like they took out 68 00:04:18,640 --> 00:04:21,479 Speaker 1: like the top ten leaders of Hamas, and they took 69 00:04:21,520 --> 00:04:24,920 Speaker 1: out an Isralla in Lebanon, and they had the whole 70 00:04:24,960 --> 00:04:28,080 Speaker 1: Pager incident. You think that some of these people might 71 00:04:28,960 --> 00:04:32,040 Speaker 1: wise up and learn their lesson, because this is an 72 00:04:32,040 --> 00:04:36,679 Speaker 1: almost certain death sentence to the Iadtolas and the Mullos 73 00:04:36,720 --> 00:04:40,640 Speaker 1: in Iran. And it's certainly a different course than say 74 00:04:40,680 --> 00:04:44,640 Speaker 1: Obama or Biden took, which is, oh, just pretty please. 75 00:04:44,400 --> 00:04:45,320 Speaker 2: With sugar on top. 76 00:04:45,640 --> 00:04:47,960 Speaker 1: You know, promise us that you're never gonna, you know, 77 00:04:48,000 --> 00:04:52,440 Speaker 1: pursue a nuclear weapons program. And then they, you know, 78 00:04:52,800 --> 00:04:56,120 Speaker 1: send in cargo planes full of cash and other currencies 79 00:04:56,160 --> 00:04:59,039 Speaker 1: to the tune of billions and billions of dollars. 80 00:04:59,680 --> 00:05:02,560 Speaker 2: That is madness, and there was a deadline on it. 81 00:05:02,600 --> 00:05:06,320 Speaker 1: In other words, they can reconstitute the nuclear program after 82 00:05:06,360 --> 00:05:10,479 Speaker 1: they got the billions. How stupid, how weak? I doan't talk 83 00:05:10,480 --> 00:05:16,160 Speaker 1: about the very definition of appeasement. That's it now there is. 84 00:05:16,680 --> 00:05:19,120 Speaker 1: This is a different day, a different time, and a 85 00:05:19,200 --> 00:05:21,960 Speaker 1: very different tune and a very different president. And let 86 00:05:21,960 --> 00:05:25,360 Speaker 1: me remind some of you that don't understand the Trump doctrine, 87 00:05:25,680 --> 00:05:28,800 Speaker 1: no forever wars, no American boots on the ground, that 88 00:05:28,839 --> 00:05:33,680 Speaker 1: does not mean isolation ism. Can anyone dispute that Donald 89 00:05:33,680 --> 00:05:39,599 Speaker 1: Trump obliterating Iran's nuclear weapons program does not make the 90 00:05:39,640 --> 00:05:43,040 Speaker 1: world a safer place. You can't intelligently make that argument. 91 00:05:43,920 --> 00:05:46,719 Speaker 1: I'm not a warmonger. I hate the fact that I 92 00:05:46,800 --> 00:05:50,120 Speaker 1: ask everybody to pray for our brave men and women 93 00:05:50,680 --> 00:05:54,039 Speaker 1: that are in the military, because you know their lives 94 00:05:54,080 --> 00:05:57,680 Speaker 1: will always be in jeopardy if there's a conflict, and 95 00:05:57,720 --> 00:06:00,520 Speaker 1: I don't want that. I wish evil didn't exist in 96 00:06:00,560 --> 00:06:03,120 Speaker 1: the world, but it does. And if we didn't learn 97 00:06:03,120 --> 00:06:07,080 Speaker 1: anything from the last hundred years between Mao and China 98 00:06:07,279 --> 00:06:11,120 Speaker 1: and Stalin and Russia, and Hitler in Germany and Mussolini 99 00:06:11,760 --> 00:06:15,440 Speaker 1: in Italy and Tojo in Japan and Paul pot in 100 00:06:15,480 --> 00:06:19,200 Speaker 1: the killing Fields and one hundred million human souls dead 101 00:06:19,800 --> 00:06:24,560 Speaker 1: because of one evil ism after another, I don't know 102 00:06:24,600 --> 00:06:27,920 Speaker 1: how you're ever gonna learn that lesson again. I mean, 103 00:06:27,960 --> 00:06:30,040 Speaker 1: you have idiots out there. Well, if you think that 104 00:06:30,160 --> 00:06:32,960 Speaker 1: you know, radical Islamic terrorism is a threat to us, 105 00:06:33,000 --> 00:06:33,719 Speaker 1: you're stupid. 106 00:06:34,120 --> 00:06:36,120 Speaker 2: Okay, go back to nine to eleven. Oh one. 107 00:06:36,160 --> 00:06:38,680 Speaker 1: Maybe it's a while ago. It's twenty five years since that. 108 00:06:38,800 --> 00:06:41,800 Speaker 1: This is the twenty fifty year anniversary of nine to eleven. 109 00:06:41,839 --> 00:06:44,440 Speaker 1: I remember it as vividly as a day it happened. 110 00:06:45,279 --> 00:06:48,680 Speaker 1: I've not forgotten one bit. And for the families that 111 00:06:48,720 --> 00:06:51,440 Speaker 1: lost love with they haven't forgotten either. This is what 112 00:06:51,560 --> 00:06:56,520 Speaker 1: infuriates me about these anti Semitic bigots in the halls 113 00:06:56,520 --> 00:07:00,920 Speaker 1: of Congress college campuses. It's now growing world wide, growing 114 00:07:00,960 --> 00:07:04,520 Speaker 1: in the punditry class, and these morons that don't have 115 00:07:04,600 --> 00:07:08,400 Speaker 1: a clue Israel, the only democracy in the region, and 116 00:07:08,400 --> 00:07:10,960 Speaker 1: what happened to them, and what they've been living through 117 00:07:11,000 --> 00:07:13,440 Speaker 1: for decades and decades and decades. And I've been to 118 00:07:13,560 --> 00:07:17,120 Speaker 1: Israel many times. I've been in this network of terror tunnels. 119 00:07:17,720 --> 00:07:19,960 Speaker 1: You know, Linda, you were on one of those trips. 120 00:07:20,080 --> 00:07:23,160 Speaker 1: I think you actually were there when that one rocket 121 00:07:23,240 --> 00:07:26,000 Speaker 1: landed what one hundred yards from us. Yeah, And this 122 00:07:26,040 --> 00:07:29,119 Speaker 1: is what the people of Israel lived, you know, every 123 00:07:29,160 --> 00:07:31,920 Speaker 1: single day they live with. And you went down on 124 00:07:31,920 --> 00:07:33,560 Speaker 1: the terror tunnel. Don't you think you did? 125 00:07:34,160 --> 00:07:36,960 Speaker 2: No, they only took you. They only took you, you 126 00:07:37,000 --> 00:07:40,040 Speaker 2: and a cameraman. Well, they don't trust you. I mean, 127 00:07:40,080 --> 00:07:41,840 Speaker 2: I get it. No, I'm kidding. 128 00:07:41,840 --> 00:07:45,360 Speaker 1: I'm only kidding. But you saw the images of it. 129 00:07:45,880 --> 00:07:48,960 Speaker 1: I mean, and think about there are hundreds of them. 130 00:07:49,520 --> 00:07:54,680 Speaker 1: This was humanitarian aid given to the people in Gaza, 131 00:07:54,840 --> 00:07:58,400 Speaker 1: so they can build hospitals and schools and get them 132 00:07:58,480 --> 00:08:02,080 Speaker 1: food and nutrition, medicines and so on and so forth. No, 133 00:08:02,160 --> 00:08:05,520 Speaker 1: they instead they build out a sophisticated network of terror 134 00:08:05,560 --> 00:08:08,400 Speaker 1: tunnels so they can foment terror and try and kill 135 00:08:08,400 --> 00:08:11,680 Speaker 1: as many Jews as they want. And what happened on 136 00:08:11,720 --> 00:08:15,240 Speaker 1: October seventh, this is what I cannot comprehend from you 137 00:08:15,400 --> 00:08:18,280 Speaker 1: anti Semites out there, and I want no part of 138 00:08:18,320 --> 00:08:21,000 Speaker 1: any of you. I will have nothing to do with 139 00:08:21,040 --> 00:08:24,800 Speaker 1: those people. And we know who they are. And I'm 140 00:08:24,840 --> 00:08:28,480 Speaker 1: just telling you it is disgusting because what happened on 141 00:08:28,520 --> 00:08:31,920 Speaker 1: October seven, twenty twenty three in the IDF they did 142 00:08:31,960 --> 00:08:34,400 Speaker 1: share with members of the media for those that had 143 00:08:34,400 --> 00:08:36,960 Speaker 1: the stomach to watch it. I know that some of 144 00:08:36,960 --> 00:08:40,600 Speaker 1: my colleagues at Fox that were being shown by Israel 145 00:08:40,960 --> 00:08:45,400 Speaker 1: these videos. Now Hamas terrorists were taking the images of this. 146 00:08:46,440 --> 00:08:51,000 Speaker 1: We have phone calls recorded that were, you know, through 147 00:08:51,040 --> 00:08:55,360 Speaker 1: surveillance of these Hamas killers, you know, calling home to 148 00:08:55,440 --> 00:08:57,679 Speaker 1: mom and dad, I just killed six Jews. I just 149 00:08:57,800 --> 00:09:00,960 Speaker 1: killed six of them. Lost over it thousand people. Here's 150 00:09:01,000 --> 00:09:04,400 Speaker 1: the difference. We lost twenty nine hundred and seventy seven 151 00:09:04,440 --> 00:09:08,040 Speaker 1: Americans on nine to elevenh one. By the way, Prime 152 00:09:08,080 --> 00:09:12,320 Speaker 1: Minister net and Yahoo he stood with us and in 153 00:09:12,440 --> 00:09:16,760 Speaker 1: solidarity with the United States on October seven, twenty twenty three. 154 00:09:16,800 --> 00:09:19,440 Speaker 1: They have less than ten million people that live in Israel. 155 00:09:20,320 --> 00:09:24,480 Speaker 1: That's it. That's the population size. And what they are 156 00:09:24,520 --> 00:09:29,600 Speaker 1: able to do militarily being surrounded by enemies is beyond 157 00:09:29,720 --> 00:09:32,160 Speaker 1: the human imagination. You want to know why they're so 158 00:09:32,200 --> 00:09:35,720 Speaker 1: innovative because they have to be to survive. They've been 159 00:09:35,760 --> 00:09:39,679 Speaker 1: surrounded by enemies that want to destroy them forever. And 160 00:09:39,720 --> 00:09:43,160 Speaker 1: it's the size of New Jersey, the entire country of Israel. 161 00:09:44,000 --> 00:09:48,640 Speaker 1: It's unbelievably inspiring what they're capable of doing. You know, 162 00:09:48,720 --> 00:09:51,800 Speaker 1: watching the Patriot missile system. Now they have new the 163 00:09:51,920 --> 00:09:55,200 Speaker 1: next generations of missile defense systems that have been set up, 164 00:09:55,200 --> 00:09:58,160 Speaker 1: and they're building out the next next generation of missile 165 00:09:58,200 --> 00:10:02,120 Speaker 1: defense systems. They weren't even during the Twelve Day War 166 00:10:02,160 --> 00:10:05,200 Speaker 1: able to stop every missile, but they you know, and 167 00:10:05,240 --> 00:10:08,600 Speaker 1: then you know what happened. If you extrapolate out the 168 00:10:08,640 --> 00:10:12,600 Speaker 1: population of Israel under ten million, and you compare it 169 00:10:12,640 --> 00:10:14,640 Speaker 1: to our population, what is it about three hundred and 170 00:10:14,640 --> 00:10:18,560 Speaker 1: sixty million that you know more than me? And that 171 00:10:18,600 --> 00:10:22,839 Speaker 1: would be the equivalent of losing about forty thousand Americans 172 00:10:22,880 --> 00:10:25,680 Speaker 1: in a single day. And then you look at these videos, 173 00:10:25,840 --> 00:10:28,120 Speaker 1: and some of my colleagues did they they had to 174 00:10:28,200 --> 00:10:32,080 Speaker 1: walk out, and some people were just crying because you 175 00:10:32,160 --> 00:10:36,600 Speaker 1: saw on video murder and murder of young children, and 176 00:10:36,760 --> 00:10:41,480 Speaker 1: rape and torture and kidnapping and parents, you know, losing 177 00:10:41,559 --> 00:10:45,560 Speaker 1: their children to these kidnapper terrorists. You know, if you 178 00:10:45,559 --> 00:10:47,520 Speaker 1: do want to understand the Trump doctrine, look what he 179 00:10:47,520 --> 00:10:49,600 Speaker 1: did in his first term. He took out the isis 180 00:10:49,640 --> 00:10:53,560 Speaker 1: Caliphate that grew under Obama and Biden. He just wiped 181 00:10:53,640 --> 00:10:57,160 Speaker 1: them out because he understood the existential threat that is 182 00:10:57,440 --> 00:11:01,760 Speaker 1: radical islamis to believe in, convert or die. He took 183 00:11:01,760 --> 00:11:06,040 Speaker 1: out Solomani, the world's number one worst terrorists responsible for 184 00:11:06,120 --> 00:11:09,000 Speaker 1: killing Americans. He took him out on that tarmac. As 185 00:11:09,000 --> 00:11:11,240 Speaker 1: soon as that plane landed, and as soon as the 186 00:11:11,400 --> 00:11:14,320 Speaker 1: he was id on the ground, boom. They took him out. 187 00:11:14,840 --> 00:11:17,280 Speaker 1: They were ready for him. They followed him for two weeks. 188 00:11:17,320 --> 00:11:20,960 Speaker 1: I got the backstory. They did the same with Bagdaddy 189 00:11:21,120 --> 00:11:24,440 Speaker 1: and associates. During his first term, he dropped the mother 190 00:11:24,480 --> 00:11:28,320 Speaker 1: of all bombs on Afghanistan. He took out the Iranian 191 00:11:28,400 --> 00:11:32,120 Speaker 1: nuclear sites with Operation Midnight Hammer. Now if you look 192 00:11:32,160 --> 00:11:35,679 Speaker 1: at a map and where we are with this, and 193 00:11:35,720 --> 00:11:41,360 Speaker 1: this matters right now, in the Arabian Sea, we have 194 00:11:41,600 --> 00:11:45,160 Speaker 1: the USS Abraham Lincoln. Now this is you know, to 195 00:11:45,240 --> 00:11:48,520 Speaker 1: the south kind of as I'm looking at the map 196 00:11:48,760 --> 00:11:52,320 Speaker 1: that I'm in front of me, we have the USS 197 00:11:52,360 --> 00:11:56,319 Speaker 1: Abraham Lincoln and we have three destroyers there. And then 198 00:11:56,320 --> 00:12:00,000 Speaker 1: if you look, you know, off the coast of Kuwai 199 00:12:00,760 --> 00:12:04,000 Speaker 1: and off the coast of Saudi Arabia in the Persian 200 00:12:04,040 --> 00:12:08,880 Speaker 1: Gulf where Cutter and we have our largest military base 201 00:12:09,160 --> 00:12:14,800 Speaker 1: and UAE, we have in that area five destroyers, three 202 00:12:14,800 --> 00:12:19,640 Speaker 1: combat ships. So we're covering three huge sides of Iran. 203 00:12:19,760 --> 00:12:24,680 Speaker 1: Now off the coast of Israel and Lebanon and you know, 204 00:12:24,840 --> 00:12:28,920 Speaker 1: just outside the Mediterranean Sea, we've got the US S 205 00:12:29,080 --> 00:12:35,120 Speaker 1: Gerald R. Ford and three destroyers there. Never mind fighter jets, drones, helicopters, 206 00:12:35,160 --> 00:12:38,880 Speaker 1: you name it. All of this is is up ready 207 00:12:39,120 --> 00:12:43,800 Speaker 1: to go. You know, we have airborne radar aircraft, and 208 00:12:43,840 --> 00:12:46,280 Speaker 1: we're gonna We're gonna have plenty of firepower, the most 209 00:12:46,320 --> 00:12:51,280 Speaker 1: firepower we've ever assembled since the Gulf War. Now are 210 00:12:51,280 --> 00:12:53,959 Speaker 1: we going to have our national treasure, our brave men 211 00:12:54,000 --> 00:12:56,920 Speaker 1: and women going door to door, stepping over IDs. Now 212 00:12:57,000 --> 00:13:00,320 Speaker 1: that those days are gone and the presidents were to 213 00:13:00,360 --> 00:13:04,440 Speaker 1: not have forever wars, the president's right also to not 214 00:13:04,520 --> 00:13:08,200 Speaker 1: put boots on the ground. Now, after publicly giving Iran 215 00:13:08,679 --> 00:13:12,400 Speaker 1: ten to fifteen days to reach this agreement, I don't 216 00:13:12,440 --> 00:13:14,160 Speaker 1: think you can make an agreement. I said it from 217 00:13:14,160 --> 00:13:18,760 Speaker 1: the beginning. You can't trust the Iranians. They've proven themselves untrustworthy, 218 00:13:19,679 --> 00:13:21,800 Speaker 1: you know. But he said, I will never allow the 219 00:13:21,840 --> 00:13:25,400 Speaker 1: world's number one state sponsor of terror to have a 220 00:13:25,520 --> 00:13:29,200 Speaker 1: nuclear weapon. He said it again Tuesday night in the 221 00:13:29,200 --> 00:13:33,120 Speaker 1: State of the Union address, and the President first outlined 222 00:13:33,559 --> 00:13:37,000 Speaker 1: the short timeline, saying that the world would know within 223 00:13:37,120 --> 00:13:40,880 Speaker 1: probably ten days whether Tehran was prepared to strike what 224 00:13:41,000 --> 00:13:43,320 Speaker 1: he called a meaningful deal. So they met in Geneva 225 00:13:43,400 --> 00:13:46,320 Speaker 1: yesterday and then they go on State TV. It's like 226 00:13:46,400 --> 00:13:50,200 Speaker 1: they've been saber rattling all over State TV about you know, 227 00:13:50,240 --> 00:13:55,520 Speaker 1: showing images of taking out American ships and you know, 228 00:13:55,840 --> 00:13:59,360 Speaker 1: making proclamations that Donald Trump will be you know, in 229 00:13:59,440 --> 00:14:01,360 Speaker 1: his cough in a number of days. 230 00:14:01,960 --> 00:14:03,280 Speaker 2: Okay, I'm not. 231 00:14:03,280 --> 00:14:06,000 Speaker 1: Sure what part of fourteen Bunker Busters they didn't learn 232 00:14:06,000 --> 00:14:09,320 Speaker 1: a lesson from, but it is what it is. Prince 233 00:14:09,480 --> 00:14:13,800 Speaker 1: Reza Pallavi, who's been on this program before, he said 234 00:14:13,800 --> 00:14:16,600 Speaker 1: he thinks the regime is about to collapse as the 235 00:14:16,640 --> 00:14:22,760 Speaker 1: economic crisis deepens. They've also had a major water shortage 236 00:14:23,000 --> 00:14:25,080 Speaker 1: and they've had to like move out the entire city 237 00:14:25,080 --> 00:14:29,600 Speaker 1: of Tehran. Anyway, we watch, We'll pray for our troops. 238 00:14:29,680 --> 00:14:33,160 Speaker 1: Please everybody listening, you know, pray for those brave men 239 00:14:33,160 --> 00:14:36,120 Speaker 1: and women. Pray for Israel, Pray for you know, that 240 00:14:36,280 --> 00:14:40,440 Speaker 1: innocent life gets protected, and pray for a safer world. 241 00:14:40,840 --> 00:14:43,920 Speaker 1: We are watching what's going on in Iran as we 242 00:14:44,000 --> 00:14:48,560 Speaker 1: have been discussing, and we have joining us now Ambassador 243 00:14:48,680 --> 00:14:51,920 Speaker 1: Nathan Seals. He served in the first Trump administration as 244 00:14:52,000 --> 00:14:56,880 Speaker 1: Ambassador at Large for counter Terrorism. Acting under Secretary of State, 245 00:14:57,200 --> 00:15:00,520 Speaker 1: played a key role in the maximum pressure CAMPAIG against 246 00:15:00,560 --> 00:15:04,880 Speaker 1: the Iranian regime their terror proxies. In twenty twenty two, 247 00:15:04,880 --> 00:15:09,200 Speaker 1: he was sanctioned by Iran. Knows the country well. He 248 00:15:09,320 --> 00:15:12,680 Speaker 1: joins US today. As the Iranians have rejected the list 249 00:15:12,800 --> 00:15:16,880 Speaker 1: of agenda items that Donald Trump was insisting on if 250 00:15:16,920 --> 00:15:19,200 Speaker 1: they wanted to make a deal with the US, the 251 00:15:19,240 --> 00:15:23,240 Speaker 1: President put a timeline on it. That timeline is ending 252 00:15:23,360 --> 00:15:27,000 Speaker 1: very quickly. And as I just laid out for you, 253 00:15:28,360 --> 00:15:33,080 Speaker 1: we have the largest military presence in the region since 254 00:15:33,160 --> 00:15:36,400 Speaker 1: the Gulf War and the build up in the Gulf War. 255 00:15:36,920 --> 00:15:39,000 Speaker 1: I mean, if you look off, for example, in the 256 00:15:39,040 --> 00:15:43,160 Speaker 1: Arabian Sea, off the coast of Pakistan and Iran, you've got, 257 00:15:43,560 --> 00:15:46,920 Speaker 1: you know, in that case, the USS Abraham Lincoln and 258 00:15:46,960 --> 00:15:49,760 Speaker 1: three destroyers. If you look in the Persian Golf off 259 00:15:49,800 --> 00:15:52,200 Speaker 1: the coast of Kuwait, Cutter and the UAE, you got 260 00:15:52,240 --> 00:15:55,960 Speaker 1: five destroyers, three combat ships. If you look off the 261 00:15:55,960 --> 00:16:00,440 Speaker 1: coast of Lebanon, Israel and the Mediterranean, you know you 262 00:16:00,560 --> 00:16:03,600 Speaker 1: got let's see the USS Gerald R. Ford and three 263 00:16:03,600 --> 00:16:06,560 Speaker 1: destroyers there. And you got a ton of air bases 264 00:16:06,560 --> 00:16:09,720 Speaker 1: in the region and fighter jets and drones and helicopters. 265 00:16:10,840 --> 00:16:15,760 Speaker 1: I don't know what part of Donald Trump they don't 266 00:16:15,800 --> 00:16:16,560 Speaker 1: take seriously. 267 00:16:17,280 --> 00:16:19,200 Speaker 2: He gave him on deadline. 268 00:16:18,840 --> 00:16:22,640 Speaker 1: Fifty days the last time Dave fifty one, Israel you know, 269 00:16:22,680 --> 00:16:27,360 Speaker 1: started wiping him out. That's pretty remarkable to me. Seventy 270 00:16:27,360 --> 00:16:32,200 Speaker 1: to nine percent of Americans do fear a nuclear armed 271 00:16:32,240 --> 00:16:35,520 Speaker 1: Iran and that opposes a direct threat to our country. 272 00:16:36,040 --> 00:16:40,360 Speaker 1: Eighty nine percent view Iran as an enemy and not friendly. 273 00:16:40,920 --> 00:16:45,840 Speaker 1: Those are smart people, and you know so, I don't 274 00:16:45,840 --> 00:16:48,000 Speaker 1: think the president has any choice, just like he didn't 275 00:16:48,040 --> 00:16:52,080 Speaker 1: have any choice with Operation Midnight Hammer. The Israelis did 276 00:16:52,120 --> 00:16:56,520 Speaker 1: not have the military capability of dropping fourteen bunker buster 277 00:16:56,640 --> 00:17:00,600 Speaker 1: bombs to take out and obliterate those nuclear facilities. Now, 278 00:17:01,120 --> 00:17:05,080 Speaker 1: whatever uranium they had stored elsewhere in the country, I 279 00:17:05,160 --> 00:17:08,520 Speaker 1: don't know. Steve Witkoff seems to think that they're on 280 00:17:08,560 --> 00:17:12,320 Speaker 1: the verge of potentially building out a weapon. He's the 281 00:17:12,320 --> 00:17:16,440 Speaker 1: Middle Eastern envoy. Is nothing that they seems they won't 282 00:17:16,520 --> 00:17:18,719 Speaker 1: do to get nuclear weapons, and they just hell bent 283 00:17:18,800 --> 00:17:21,600 Speaker 1: on it anyway, Ambassador Sales, great to have you, Baxtar, 284 00:17:21,800 --> 00:17:24,159 Speaker 1: Thank you for being with us. Our prayers are with 285 00:17:24,240 --> 00:17:28,080 Speaker 1: our US men and women in the region. Of course, 286 00:17:28,119 --> 00:17:30,720 Speaker 1: the President has said he'd prefer peace. I prefer peace. 287 00:17:31,240 --> 00:17:33,560 Speaker 1: But the President has shown that the Trump doctrine is 288 00:17:33,600 --> 00:17:36,800 Speaker 1: not isolationism. Yeah, means no boots on the ground, no 289 00:17:36,880 --> 00:17:40,480 Speaker 1: forever wars. But he did take out around, he did 290 00:17:40,520 --> 00:17:43,200 Speaker 1: take out Isis, He took out the Iranian nuclear sites, 291 00:17:43,200 --> 00:17:46,520 Speaker 1: he took out Solomani Bagdaddy and all his pals, and 292 00:17:46,640 --> 00:17:49,960 Speaker 1: dropped the mother of all bombs on Afghanistan. Sall, they 293 00:17:50,000 --> 00:17:54,000 Speaker 1: shouldn't be surprised when this deadline comes that Donald Trump's 294 00:17:54,000 --> 00:17:54,440 Speaker 1: gonna act. 295 00:17:55,520 --> 00:17:57,560 Speaker 3: Well, Shan, thanks for having me on. I think you're 296 00:17:57,600 --> 00:18:01,600 Speaker 3: exactly right. The Iranians are exceptionally bad at reading the room. 297 00:18:01,960 --> 00:18:05,280 Speaker 3: The President isn't exactly being ambiguous here, He's being very clear. 298 00:18:05,640 --> 00:18:08,800 Speaker 3: We want a diplomatic resolution. That's plan A, but we've 299 00:18:08,800 --> 00:18:11,359 Speaker 3: got a Plan B. And that Plan B is floating 300 00:18:11,480 --> 00:18:16,080 Speaker 3: off your coast with the ability to deliver overwhelming firepower 301 00:18:17,080 --> 00:18:20,120 Speaker 3: like you. I hope the Iranians come to their senses 302 00:18:20,200 --> 00:18:23,240 Speaker 3: and negotiate an end to the nuclear program. But what 303 00:18:23,280 --> 00:18:25,960 Speaker 3: does it say about their priorities that they're prepared to 304 00:18:26,000 --> 00:18:28,879 Speaker 3: take their country and the entire region to the brink 305 00:18:28,920 --> 00:18:31,400 Speaker 3: of a war. They're not doing that because they want 306 00:18:31,480 --> 00:18:34,080 Speaker 3: nuclear energy. They're not doing it because they want to 307 00:18:34,119 --> 00:18:37,720 Speaker 3: lower energy prices for Iranian consumers. They're doing it because 308 00:18:37,760 --> 00:18:40,479 Speaker 3: they want to preserve a pathway to a bomb. And 309 00:18:40,560 --> 00:18:45,199 Speaker 3: that's why the administrations demand no domestic uranium enrichment of 310 00:18:45,240 --> 00:18:48,439 Speaker 3: any kind. That's why that's so important. The only reason 311 00:18:48,520 --> 00:18:52,280 Speaker 3: the Iranians could have for wanting to enrich uranium is 312 00:18:52,320 --> 00:18:54,280 Speaker 3: because they want to preserve a pathway to a bomb. 313 00:18:54,359 --> 00:18:56,520 Speaker 3: And that's the one thing the administration has said is 314 00:18:56,560 --> 00:18:57,960 Speaker 3: completely out of bounds. 315 00:18:59,080 --> 00:19:02,600 Speaker 1: All right, as you look at the firepower we have 316 00:19:02,720 --> 00:19:05,480 Speaker 1: in the region, and I can add to that high 317 00:19:05,600 --> 00:19:10,160 Speaker 1: end F twenty two fighter jets at an Israeli air 318 00:19:10,240 --> 00:19:14,560 Speaker 1: base prepared for combat. On top of it, then you 319 00:19:14,640 --> 00:19:19,160 Speaker 1: have the Ambassador to Israel, friend of this program, Mike Hackabee, 320 00:19:19,160 --> 00:19:23,560 Speaker 1: sent an email to embassy staff telling them today that 321 00:19:23,920 --> 00:19:26,040 Speaker 1: there's no need to panic, but if they want to 322 00:19:26,119 --> 00:19:31,199 Speaker 1: leave Israel, they quote should do so today. According to 323 00:19:31,240 --> 00:19:35,080 Speaker 1: a US official, it follows orders of a partial evacuation 324 00:19:35,240 --> 00:19:39,240 Speaker 1: of the embassy and embassy personnel in Lebanon on February 325 00:19:39,320 --> 00:19:42,840 Speaker 1: twenty third, The timing of any military action against Iran 326 00:19:42,960 --> 00:19:47,639 Speaker 1: will always remain unknown. According to reports, Secretary of State 327 00:19:47,680 --> 00:19:50,960 Speaker 1: Mark or Rubio plans to visit Israel on Monday to 328 00:19:51,040 --> 00:19:55,199 Speaker 1: brief Israeli leaders on Iranian talks. We already know that 329 00:19:55,240 --> 00:19:58,840 Speaker 1: they kind of, you know, failed, yo. 330 00:19:59,000 --> 00:20:01,159 Speaker 3: All this is consistent, by the. 331 00:20:01,160 --> 00:20:04,960 Speaker 1: Way, and we didn't fail. They just are stubbornness and stupid. 332 00:20:05,000 --> 00:20:07,960 Speaker 1: But we didn't fail on our m We did our part. 333 00:20:08,600 --> 00:20:11,560 Speaker 3: Well, that's right. It takes two to tango. We're extending 334 00:20:11,600 --> 00:20:15,679 Speaker 3: an olive branch, but we also have an eagle's claw 335 00:20:15,880 --> 00:20:18,200 Speaker 3: full of arrows that are ready to go, and it's 336 00:20:18,200 --> 00:20:21,120 Speaker 3: the Iranian's choice which one they're going to deal with. 337 00:20:22,160 --> 00:20:25,800 Speaker 3: All this is consistent with the administration's approach that you know, 338 00:20:25,840 --> 00:20:28,879 Speaker 3: we're serious about diplomacy, but we're not bluffing. We're not 339 00:20:28,960 --> 00:20:32,280 Speaker 3: moving people out of the region because we're trying to 340 00:20:32,320 --> 00:20:34,679 Speaker 3: send a message. We're moving people out of the region 341 00:20:34,720 --> 00:20:38,000 Speaker 3: because this could get real very quickly. And it's ultimately 342 00:20:38,080 --> 00:20:40,439 Speaker 3: up to the Iranians whether they want to pursue a 343 00:20:40,480 --> 00:20:42,480 Speaker 3: path of peace or whether they dig in their heels 344 00:20:42,920 --> 00:20:45,920 Speaker 3: and risk their regime and risk their lives because they're 345 00:20:45,960 --> 00:20:50,520 Speaker 3: so committed to an apocalyptic vision of a nuclear armed Iran. 346 00:20:50,600 --> 00:20:52,639 Speaker 3: You know, they always say they don't want a nuclear weapon, 347 00:20:52,680 --> 00:20:55,680 Speaker 3: but I don't think they've earned the right to be trusted. 348 00:20:56,000 --> 00:20:59,160 Speaker 3: Nobody should take that claim to the bank, because their 349 00:20:59,200 --> 00:21:01,400 Speaker 3: actions speak loud other than their words, and the fact 350 00:21:01,440 --> 00:21:06,240 Speaker 3: that they are prepared to risk war again over uranium 351 00:21:06,640 --> 00:21:09,280 Speaker 3: tells you that that is not a peaceful nuclear program. 352 00:21:09,320 --> 00:21:12,080 Speaker 3: It's only useful to them to the extent that it 353 00:21:12,200 --> 00:21:13,720 Speaker 3: enables them to seek a bomb. 354 00:21:14,720 --> 00:21:16,280 Speaker 2: Did you hear about this story? 355 00:21:17,240 --> 00:21:21,720 Speaker 1: An alleged Iranian backed terrorist bizarrely thought he could put 356 00:21:21,760 --> 00:21:25,680 Speaker 1: a bargain priced hit out on Donald Trump, paying two 357 00:21:25,680 --> 00:21:30,879 Speaker 1: men amasingly five thousand dollars up front and coming up 358 00:21:30,880 --> 00:21:34,560 Speaker 1: with this insane plot that you know, by placing a 359 00:21:34,680 --> 00:21:39,560 Speaker 1: vape on a napkin to denote his target, meaning President Trump. 360 00:21:40,960 --> 00:21:45,240 Speaker 1: According to details that were just released yesterday, this is 361 00:21:45,280 --> 00:21:49,280 Speaker 1: the target. How will it die? And this idiot said, 362 00:21:49,400 --> 00:21:52,280 Speaker 1: you know, as he gestured, you know, to a creamsicle 363 00:21:52,560 --> 00:21:57,719 Speaker 1: colored smoking device inside a hotel room filled with FBI 364 00:21:57,840 --> 00:22:03,400 Speaker 1: secret cameras and footage played for a Brooklyn jury. Apparently, 365 00:22:03,680 --> 00:22:07,040 Speaker 1: I mean, I mean, we have to understand among the 366 00:22:07,080 --> 00:22:09,800 Speaker 1: many people unvetted that Biden and Harris led in this 367 00:22:09,920 --> 00:22:12,760 Speaker 1: country are known terrorists from over two hundred countries, over 368 00:22:12,800 --> 00:22:18,040 Speaker 1: twelve million people, murderers, rapists, known terrorists, you know, child molesters, 369 00:22:18,080 --> 00:22:21,199 Speaker 1: cartel members, gang members, other violent criminals, drug dealers. 370 00:22:21,240 --> 00:22:22,000 Speaker 2: This is insane. 371 00:22:23,240 --> 00:22:26,720 Speaker 3: And the Iranian regime is very, very capable at the 372 00:22:26,840 --> 00:22:30,840 Speaker 3: dark arts of assassination and terrorism. It's one of their 373 00:22:31,080 --> 00:22:36,960 Speaker 3: preferred foreign policy tools is using terrorist proxies to carry 374 00:22:36,960 --> 00:22:40,040 Speaker 3: out violent reprisals all around the world. And so, you know, 375 00:22:40,680 --> 00:22:43,719 Speaker 3: we can sit here and laugh at the incompetence on 376 00:22:43,760 --> 00:22:44,800 Speaker 3: display in. 377 00:22:44,720 --> 00:22:47,760 Speaker 1: This oh this is a real, clear present danger to 378 00:22:47,800 --> 00:22:49,840 Speaker 1: our country and the people in this country. 379 00:22:49,840 --> 00:22:51,439 Speaker 2: I once had a flat wall on my head. I 380 00:22:51,560 --> 00:22:52,600 Speaker 2: know I've lived it. 381 00:22:53,240 --> 00:22:56,520 Speaker 3: Exactly exactly, and we should never take our eyes off 382 00:22:56,560 --> 00:22:59,480 Speaker 3: the fact that as we speak, there are Iranian plots 383 00:22:59,560 --> 00:23:03,199 Speaker 3: actively targeting a number of Americans just for doing their 384 00:23:03,280 --> 00:23:06,520 Speaker 3: jobs as government officials. President Trump, former Secretary of State 385 00:23:06,560 --> 00:23:10,560 Speaker 3: Mike Pompeo, former National Security Advisor John Bolden. All of 386 00:23:10,600 --> 00:23:13,320 Speaker 3: these people live with a death sentence because they had 387 00:23:13,320 --> 00:23:16,200 Speaker 3: the nerve to defend America from Iran and I Ran 388 00:23:16,320 --> 00:23:19,240 Speaker 3: will do what they have to to try and execute 389 00:23:19,240 --> 00:23:21,199 Speaker 3: these plots. We have to remain vigilized. I'm glad to 390 00:23:21,200 --> 00:23:23,919 Speaker 3: see this case proceeding because it's just the tip of 391 00:23:23,920 --> 00:23:26,399 Speaker 3: the iceberg. The Iranians are playing for keeps when it 392 00:23:26,440 --> 00:23:28,200 Speaker 3: comes to assassinations and terrorism. 393 00:23:29,160 --> 00:23:34,960 Speaker 1: Do you think there's any scenario under which the Iranians 394 00:23:35,000 --> 00:23:38,200 Speaker 1: can survive what is likely to come their way assuming 395 00:23:38,280 --> 00:23:41,160 Speaker 1: they don't agree to what President Trump is demanding. 396 00:23:42,440 --> 00:23:45,240 Speaker 3: It's a great question, and I think it really depends 397 00:23:45,359 --> 00:23:49,080 Speaker 3: on how ambitious a strike the president orders. If he 398 00:23:49,119 --> 00:23:52,000 Speaker 3: does order a strike, you know, one option is to 399 00:23:52,080 --> 00:23:56,000 Speaker 3: go for a decapitation strike and take out regime leadership figures. 400 00:23:56,359 --> 00:24:00,440 Speaker 3: A more modest approach would be directed specifically the nuclear 401 00:24:00,480 --> 00:24:04,080 Speaker 3: weapons program and you know some of the regime security 402 00:24:04,119 --> 00:24:08,440 Speaker 3: elements that were responsible for brutally murdering thousands and thousands 403 00:24:08,480 --> 00:24:13,040 Speaker 3: of protesters not too long ago. If the administration goes 404 00:24:13,119 --> 00:24:16,520 Speaker 3: for the middle approach, you know, going after the nuclear 405 00:24:16,520 --> 00:24:20,479 Speaker 3: program and the regime officials, that doesn't necessarily mean that 406 00:24:20,520 --> 00:24:23,359 Speaker 3: the Supreme Leader is safe. It might precipitate an uprising 407 00:24:23,400 --> 00:24:26,200 Speaker 3: among the people who take matters into their own hands 408 00:24:26,280 --> 00:24:29,480 Speaker 3: and bring about regime change on their own. That's not 409 00:24:29,600 --> 00:24:32,560 Speaker 3: something that the American people can decide for Iran. That's 410 00:24:32,560 --> 00:24:34,800 Speaker 3: something for the Iranian people to decide. But they may 411 00:24:34,880 --> 00:24:38,280 Speaker 3: well rise up depending on how weak the regime looks 412 00:24:38,320 --> 00:24:40,399 Speaker 3: in the aftermath of a possible US strike. 413 00:24:41,600 --> 00:24:44,760 Speaker 1: Now, I'll just give people some information. I at the 414 00:24:44,840 --> 00:24:48,919 Speaker 1: time never shared it with this audience because I was 415 00:24:48,920 --> 00:24:55,640 Speaker 1: told not to. The Masade contacted Box Security and the NYPD, 416 00:24:56,520 --> 00:25:00,600 Speaker 1: and they said that there's a fotlaw that will issued 417 00:25:00,640 --> 00:25:05,640 Speaker 1: by some a mom against me, And you know, I'm 418 00:25:05,680 --> 00:25:08,320 Speaker 1: grateful that they gave me the heads up. I'm grateful 419 00:25:08,320 --> 00:25:10,679 Speaker 1: that the NYPD gave me a heads up. I'm grateful 420 00:25:10,760 --> 00:25:15,120 Speaker 1: Fox provided security for an extended period of time with 421 00:25:15,200 --> 00:25:17,760 Speaker 1: me at all times and around my house and protecting 422 00:25:17,800 --> 00:25:22,639 Speaker 1: my children. And it was and what I was told 423 00:25:22,640 --> 00:25:26,280 Speaker 1: at the time is this is very real. This is 424 00:25:26,359 --> 00:25:29,679 Speaker 1: not a game. Take it seriously. And the order was 425 00:25:29,720 --> 00:25:32,320 Speaker 1: to put my head on a spike. Wouldn't have been 426 00:25:32,320 --> 00:25:36,000 Speaker 1: that attractive, I don't think. But I took it seriously. 427 00:25:36,680 --> 00:25:40,960 Speaker 1: And you know, it ends up this particularly mom is dead. 428 00:25:41,560 --> 00:25:45,399 Speaker 1: But the idea that there are cells in the US, 429 00:25:45,440 --> 00:25:49,359 Speaker 1: that there were people that be sympathetic to this type 430 00:25:49,480 --> 00:25:53,080 Speaker 1: of order given and for you know, me being told 431 00:25:53,080 --> 00:25:56,399 Speaker 1: to take it seriously is chilling, especially in light of 432 00:25:56,440 --> 00:25:58,400 Speaker 1: you know, in the case of President Trump, far more 433 00:25:58,440 --> 00:26:02,280 Speaker 1: important than lilol Sean. You know, we've had two you know, 434 00:26:02,320 --> 00:26:05,480 Speaker 1: would be assassins against Timmy came within a millimeter of 435 00:26:05,520 --> 00:26:06,280 Speaker 1: losing his life. 436 00:26:07,440 --> 00:26:12,120 Speaker 3: That's scary stuff, Sean, a really really chilling story. And unfortunately, 437 00:26:12,680 --> 00:26:15,200 Speaker 3: this is the kind of stuff that the Iranian regime 438 00:26:15,320 --> 00:26:18,040 Speaker 3: specializes in. You know, we talked about the plot against 439 00:26:18,119 --> 00:26:21,439 Speaker 3: John Bolton. This is why the southern border is so 440 00:26:21,520 --> 00:26:25,080 Speaker 3: important and why it's essential to secure the southern border. 441 00:26:24,680 --> 00:26:27,960 Speaker 3: The plot against Bolton, the Iranian regime reached out to 442 00:26:28,040 --> 00:26:31,840 Speaker 3: Mexican cartels with instructions to try and come to the 443 00:26:31,920 --> 00:26:34,719 Speaker 3: US and carry out an assassination. And the same thing 444 00:26:34,800 --> 00:26:36,920 Speaker 3: happened more than a decade ago. They tried to blow 445 00:26:37,000 --> 00:26:39,800 Speaker 3: up a restaurant in Washington, d C. To kill the 446 00:26:39,840 --> 00:26:42,800 Speaker 3: Saudi ambassador. And guess who they were working with there again, 447 00:26:43,320 --> 00:26:46,639 Speaker 3: Mexican cartels on the southern side of the border. So 448 00:26:47,040 --> 00:26:49,159 Speaker 3: that border has to be locked down, not just for 449 00:26:49,200 --> 00:26:51,959 Speaker 3: immigration reasons and a million other reasons, but because we 450 00:26:52,000 --> 00:26:55,879 Speaker 3: can't afford to expose a vulnerability to Iranian back terrorists. 451 00:26:56,680 --> 00:26:59,520 Speaker 1: You know, I've been friends with Prime Minister Natanyahu for 452 00:26:59,600 --> 00:27:03,080 Speaker 1: thirty years, and I've been over to Israel a number 453 00:27:03,160 --> 00:27:05,520 Speaker 1: of times, as I know you have been, and I've 454 00:27:05,520 --> 00:27:08,200 Speaker 1: been in the terror tunnels, and I've been to border cities. 455 00:27:08,240 --> 00:27:11,600 Speaker 1: That one city in particulars Deroute, hit with ten thousand 456 00:27:11,720 --> 00:27:14,480 Speaker 1: rockets in ten years, if you can believe it. Kids 457 00:27:14,480 --> 00:27:18,639 Speaker 1: can't even play outside. They played in underground bunker playgrounds. 458 00:27:18,680 --> 00:27:21,520 Speaker 1: And I've told that story many times. But you know, 459 00:27:21,920 --> 00:27:27,159 Speaker 1: the amount of security that the Prime Minister lives with 460 00:27:27,440 --> 00:27:31,880 Speaker 1: every day is beyond any comprehension people can have. Let's 461 00:27:31,920 --> 00:27:34,480 Speaker 1: put it that way, because if they could, they would 462 00:27:34,480 --> 00:27:35,360 Speaker 1: want to take him out. 463 00:27:36,800 --> 00:27:40,439 Speaker 3: They would, and frankly, they're less capable of doing that 464 00:27:40,520 --> 00:27:43,280 Speaker 3: today than they were two or three years ago. And 465 00:27:43,280 --> 00:27:47,240 Speaker 3: the reason for that is because after October seventh, Israel 466 00:27:47,440 --> 00:27:52,160 Speaker 3: fought back and really decimated a number of the Iranian 467 00:27:52,200 --> 00:27:56,719 Speaker 3: regimes frontline terror proxies. Has Blah in Lebanon has been 468 00:27:56,760 --> 00:27:59,560 Speaker 3: reduced to a shadow of its former self. Hamas has 469 00:27:59,560 --> 00:28:03,520 Speaker 3: been Stazala's. 470 00:28:01,680 --> 00:28:04,560 Speaker 1: Dead to the top ten leaders of HAMAS dead. They 471 00:28:04,640 --> 00:28:07,639 Speaker 1: got them all. They got the nuclear scientists, they're dead. 472 00:28:08,400 --> 00:28:11,320 Speaker 1: They took down their air defense systems and a lot 473 00:28:11,320 --> 00:28:13,840 Speaker 1: of their missile battery systems. 474 00:28:13,880 --> 00:28:17,320 Speaker 3: Exactly right. Iran is really on its back foot because 475 00:28:17,840 --> 00:28:21,080 Speaker 3: Israel kept its eye on the ball and applied pressure 476 00:28:21,119 --> 00:28:24,440 Speaker 3: to all of those different tentacles of the Iranian regimes 477 00:28:24,480 --> 00:28:27,840 Speaker 3: campaign against it. They tried to encircle Israel with a 478 00:28:27,920 --> 00:28:31,240 Speaker 3: ring of fire, and Israel was able to fight back 479 00:28:31,320 --> 00:28:35,119 Speaker 3: and successfully defend itself against all those different threats. That 480 00:28:35,520 --> 00:28:37,959 Speaker 3: doesn't mean Iran is not a threat. They are, but 481 00:28:37,960 --> 00:28:40,520 Speaker 3: they are in a much weaker position today than they 482 00:28:40,520 --> 00:28:44,240 Speaker 3: were maybe at any time since the revolution. They're weaker abroad, 483 00:28:44,560 --> 00:28:47,560 Speaker 3: their proxies are in tatters, and at home they have 484 00:28:47,720 --> 00:28:51,800 Speaker 3: no le whatsoever. Among the Iranian people. You have protesters 485 00:28:51,840 --> 00:28:54,840 Speaker 3: out on the streets lighting their cigarettes with pictures of 486 00:28:54,880 --> 00:28:58,280 Speaker 3: the Supreme Leader. That tells everything you need to know 487 00:28:58,440 --> 00:28:59,280 Speaker 3: about this regime. 488 00:29:00,120 --> 00:29:00,400 Speaker 2: All right. 489 00:29:00,480 --> 00:29:02,560 Speaker 1: Our prayers are with our brave men and women in 490 00:29:02,600 --> 00:29:06,959 Speaker 1: the region if they are called to duty. Nathan Sal's ambassador, 491 00:29:06,960 --> 00:29:08,920 Speaker 1: thank you so much for being with us. We appreciate 492 00:29:08,960 --> 00:29:09,360 Speaker 1: your time.
