Speaker 1: Thanks to all of you for being with us. Right
Speaker 1: down our toll free telephone number this Friday. It's eight
Speaker 1: hundred and nine to four one Sean if you want
Speaker 1: to be a part of the program. Headline New York
Speaker 1: Post today nuclear talks strike out goes on to say
Speaker 1: Ran left talks with the US. This is Switzerland in
Speaker 1: Geneva without a deal to end their nuclear program. State
Speaker 1: Run TV actually confirmed that they'll never give up their
Speaker 1: right to enrich uranium. And with President Trump's self imposed
Speaker 1: deadline to reach an agreement now coming to an end
Speaker 1: as soon as this weekend. I think Donald Trump is
Speaker 1: pretty predictable, and we now know what is likely to
Speaker 1: happen next. We're going to full report throughout the show.
Speaker 1: We're going to be monitoring the situation on the ground.
Speaker 1: I can tell you both the State Department and that
Speaker 1: Secretary of State Mark or Rubio, and also the US
Speaker 1: Ambassador to Israel, Mike Huckabee said, if you want to
Speaker 1: get out, get out now. There was a picture in
Speaker 1: this New York Post a stark, huge anti American message
Speaker 1: displayed in the Iranian capital of Tehran. As these tensions mount,
Speaker 1: the President did say help is on the way, and
Speaker 1: the President said he prefers peace, but he said that
Speaker 1: the last time too, before Operation Midnight Hammer knocked out
Speaker 1: and obliterated their nuclear facilities. Now we do know that
Speaker 1: the uranium that the Iranians had, uranium that had been enriched,
Speaker 1: that they had moved to other locations. We don't know
Speaker 1: how much they have, although Steve Witkoff, the Middle Eastern envoy,
Speaker 1: has said that, you know, he believes that they might
Speaker 1: have much more than we knew, and that makes it
Speaker 1: an even you know, greater pressure cooker, if you will.
Speaker 1: But as this deadline, pressure mounts, and you know, yesterday's
Speaker 1: meeting took place one week after President Trump told the
Speaker 1: Bar to Peace that he would decide whether to hit
Speaker 1: this radicals, you know, Islamic fascist regime. By the way,
Speaker 1: we're talking about radical Islamis. I'm not talking about anything
Speaker 1: other than that. We know what Iran is, the number
Speaker 1: one state sponsor of terror. They have been fomenting nothing
Speaker 1: but death and terror in the region for a long time,
Speaker 1: serving as the proxies. You know, they have their proxies
Speaker 1: all out throughout the region, Amasa and Gaza has Balah
Speaker 1: in Lebanon, the Huti rebels. This is if I had
Speaker 1: to guess this will be the end of this regime,
Speaker 1: I don't think they will be able to survive. We
Speaker 1: have the largest military presence build up in the region
Speaker 1: that we've had.
Speaker 2: Since the Gulf War.
Speaker 1: And if you remember shock and Awe, I think Donald
Speaker 1: Trump has already proven he's a shock and all guy,
Speaker 1: and in keeping with the Trump doctrite. Now, I know
Speaker 1: there are some that claim that the Trump doctrine and
Speaker 1: they clearly don't understand it because they clearly don't comprehend
Speaker 1: how Donald Trump is rolling. Whatever he does do, I
Speaker 1: believe will be consistent with the Trump doctrine of no
Speaker 1: forever war and no forever wars period and no boots
Speaker 1: on the ground period. And I've been telling people for
Speaker 1: the longest time the future wars and conflicts are likely
Speaker 1: not going to be fought conventionally on battlefields, especially with
Speaker 1: emerging technology, the next generation of weaponry. And you can
Speaker 1: already see this unfold. I mean, you know, in the
Speaker 1: Twelve Day War, when Iran was firing all these two
Speaker 1: thousand pound ballistic missiles, now they have four thousand pound
Speaker 1: ballistic missiles. According to intelligence and reports that have been
Speaker 1: made public that this is a regime held on death.
Speaker 1: And you would think after fourteen bunker buster bombs were
Speaker 1: dropped on their nuclear facilities, and the fact that the
Speaker 1: Israelis were so sophisticated they even took out the scientists
Speaker 1: responsible for the nuclear program, just like they took out
Speaker 1: like the top ten leaders of Hamas, and they took
Speaker 1: out an Isralla in Lebanon, and they had the whole
Speaker 1: Pager incident. You think that some of these people might
Speaker 1: wise up and learn their lesson, because this is an
Speaker 1: almost certain death sentence to the Iadtolas and the Mullos
Speaker 1: in Iran. And it's certainly a different course than say
Speaker 1: Obama or Biden took, which is, oh, just pretty please.
Speaker 2: With sugar on top.
Speaker 1: You know, promise us that you're never gonna, you know,
Speaker 1: pursue a nuclear weapons program. And then they, you know,
Speaker 1: send in cargo planes full of cash and other currencies
Speaker 1: to the tune of billions and billions of dollars.
Speaker 2: That is madness, and there was a deadline on it.
Speaker 1: In other words, they can reconstitute the nuclear program after
Speaker 1: they got the billions. How stupid, how weak? I doan't talk
Speaker 1: about the very definition of appeasement. That's it now there is.
Speaker 1: This is a different day, a different time, and a
Speaker 1: very different tune and a very different president. And let
Speaker 1: me remind some of you that don't understand the Trump doctrine,
Speaker 1: no forever wars, no American boots on the ground, that
Speaker 1: does not mean isolation ism. Can anyone dispute that Donald
Speaker 1: Trump obliterating Iran's nuclear weapons program does not make the
Speaker 1: world a safer place. You can't intelligently make that argument.
Speaker 1: I'm not a warmonger. I hate the fact that I
Speaker 1: ask everybody to pray for our brave men and women
Speaker 1: that are in the military, because you know their lives
Speaker 1: will always be in jeopardy if there's a conflict, and
Speaker 1: I don't want that. I wish evil didn't exist in
Speaker 1: the world, but it does. And if we didn't learn
Speaker 1: anything from the last hundred years between Mao and China
Speaker 1: and Stalin and Russia, and Hitler in Germany and Mussolini
Speaker 1: in Italy and Tojo in Japan and Paul pot in
Speaker 1: the killing Fields and one hundred million human souls dead
Speaker 1: because of one evil ism after another, I don't know
Speaker 1: how you're ever gonna learn that lesson again. I mean,
Speaker 1: you have idiots out there. Well, if you think that
Speaker 1: you know, radical Islamic terrorism is a threat to us,
Speaker 1: you're stupid.
Speaker 2: Okay, go back to nine to eleven. Oh one.
Speaker 1: Maybe it's a while ago. It's twenty five years since that.
Speaker 1: This is the twenty fifty year anniversary of nine to eleven.
Speaker 1: I remember it as vividly as a day it happened.
Speaker 1: I've not forgotten one bit. And for the families that
Speaker 1: lost love with they haven't forgotten either. This is what
Speaker 1: infuriates me about these anti Semitic bigots in the halls
Speaker 1: of Congress college campuses. It's now growing world wide, growing
Speaker 1: in the punditry class, and these morons that don't have
Speaker 1: a clue Israel, the only democracy in the region, and
Speaker 1: what happened to them, and what they've been living through
Speaker 1: for decades and decades and decades. And I've been to
Speaker 1: Israel many times. I've been in this network of terror tunnels.
Speaker 1: You know, Linda, you were on one of those trips.
Speaker 1: I think you actually were there when that one rocket
Speaker 1: landed what one hundred yards from us. Yeah, And this
Speaker 1: is what the people of Israel lived, you know, every
Speaker 1: single day they live with. And you went down on
Speaker 1: the terror tunnel. Don't you think you did?
Speaker 2: No, they only took you. They only took you, you
Speaker 2: and a cameraman. Well, they don't trust you. I mean,
Speaker 2: I get it. No, I'm kidding.
Speaker 1: I'm only kidding. But you saw the images of it.
Speaker 1: I mean, and think about there are hundreds of them.
Speaker 1: This was humanitarian aid given to the people in Gaza,
Speaker 1: so they can build hospitals and schools and get them
Speaker 1: food and nutrition, medicines and so on and so forth. No,
Speaker 1: they instead they build out a sophisticated network of terror
Speaker 1: tunnels so they can foment terror and try and kill
Speaker 1: as many Jews as they want. And what happened on
Speaker 1: October seventh, this is what I cannot comprehend from you
Speaker 1: anti Semites out there, and I want no part of
Speaker 1: any of you. I will have nothing to do with
Speaker 1: those people. And we know who they are. And I'm
Speaker 1: just telling you it is disgusting because what happened on
Speaker 1: October seven, twenty twenty three in the IDF they did
Speaker 1: share with members of the media for those that had
Speaker 1: the stomach to watch it. I know that some of
Speaker 1: my colleagues at Fox that were being shown by Israel
Speaker 1: these videos. Now Hamas terrorists were taking the images of this.
Speaker 1: We have phone calls recorded that were, you know, through
Speaker 1: surveillance of these Hamas killers, you know, calling home to
Speaker 1: mom and dad, I just killed six Jews. I just
Speaker 1: killed six of them. Lost over it thousand people. Here's
Speaker 1: the difference. We lost twenty nine hundred and seventy seven
Speaker 1: Americans on nine to elevenh one. By the way, Prime
Speaker 1: Minister net and Yahoo he stood with us and in
Speaker 1: solidarity with the United States on October seven, twenty twenty three.
Speaker 1: They have less than ten million people that live in Israel.
Speaker 1: That's it. That's the population size. And what they are
Speaker 1: able to do militarily being surrounded by enemies is beyond
Speaker 1: the human imagination. You want to know why they're so
Speaker 1: innovative because they have to be to survive. They've been
Speaker 1: surrounded by enemies that want to destroy them forever. And
Speaker 1: it's the size of New Jersey, the entire country of Israel.
Speaker 1: It's unbelievably inspiring what they're capable of doing. You know,
Speaker 1: watching the Patriot missile system. Now they have new the
Speaker 1: next generations of missile defense systems that have been set up,
Speaker 1: and they're building out the next next generation of missile
Speaker 1: defense systems. They weren't even during the Twelve Day War
Speaker 1: able to stop every missile, but they you know, and
Speaker 1: then you know what happened. If you extrapolate out the
Speaker 1: population of Israel under ten million, and you compare it
Speaker 1: to our population, what is it about three hundred and
Speaker 1: sixty million that you know more than me? And that
Speaker 1: would be the equivalent of losing about forty thousand Americans
Speaker 1: in a single day. And then you look at these videos,
Speaker 1: and some of my colleagues did they they had to
Speaker 1: walk out, and some people were just crying because you
Speaker 1: saw on video murder and murder of young children, and
Speaker 1: rape and torture and kidnapping and parents, you know, losing
Speaker 1: their children to these kidnapper terrorists. You know, if you
Speaker 1: do want to understand the Trump doctrine, look what he
Speaker 1: did in his first term. He took out the isis
Speaker 1: Caliphate that grew under Obama and Biden. He just wiped
Speaker 1: them out because he understood the existential threat that is
Speaker 1: radical islamis to believe in, convert or die. He took
Speaker 1: out Solomani, the world's number one worst terrorists responsible for
Speaker 1: killing Americans. He took him out on that tarmac. As
Speaker 1: soon as that plane landed, and as soon as the
Speaker 1: he was id on the ground, boom. They took him out.
Speaker 1: They were ready for him. They followed him for two weeks.
Speaker 1: I got the backstory. They did the same with Bagdaddy
Speaker 1: and associates. During his first term, he dropped the mother
Speaker 1: of all bombs on Afghanistan. He took out the Iranian
Speaker 1: nuclear sites with Operation Midnight Hammer. Now if you look
Speaker 1: at a map and where we are with this, and
Speaker 1: this matters right now, in the Arabian Sea, we have
Speaker 1: the USS Abraham Lincoln. Now this is you know, to
Speaker 1: the south kind of as I'm looking at the map
Speaker 1: that I'm in front of me, we have the USS
Speaker 1: Abraham Lincoln and we have three destroyers there. And then
Speaker 1: if you look, you know, off the coast of Kuwai
Speaker 1: and off the coast of Saudi Arabia in the Persian
Speaker 1: Gulf where Cutter and we have our largest military base
Speaker 1: and UAE, we have in that area five destroyers, three
Speaker 1: combat ships. So we're covering three huge sides of Iran.
Speaker 1: Now off the coast of Israel and Lebanon and you know,
Speaker 1: just outside the Mediterranean Sea, we've got the US S
Speaker 1: Gerald R. Ford and three destroyers there. Never mind fighter jets, drones, helicopters,
Speaker 1: you name it. All of this is is up ready
Speaker 1: to go. You know, we have airborne radar aircraft, and
Speaker 1: we're gonna We're gonna have plenty of firepower, the most
Speaker 1: firepower we've ever assembled since the Gulf War. Now are
Speaker 1: we going to have our national treasure, our brave men
Speaker 1: and women going door to door, stepping over IDs. Now
Speaker 1: that those days are gone and the presidents were to
Speaker 1: not have forever wars, the president's right also to not
Speaker 1: put boots on the ground. Now, after publicly giving Iran
Speaker 1: ten to fifteen days to reach this agreement, I don't
Speaker 1: think you can make an agreement. I said it from
Speaker 1: the beginning. You can't trust the Iranians. They've proven themselves untrustworthy,
Speaker 1: you know. But he said, I will never allow the
Speaker 1: world's number one state sponsor of terror to have a
Speaker 1: nuclear weapon. He said it again Tuesday night in the
Speaker 1: State of the Union address, and the President first outlined
Speaker 1: the short timeline, saying that the world would know within
Speaker 1: probably ten days whether Tehran was prepared to strike what
Speaker 1: he called a meaningful deal. So they met in Geneva
Speaker 1: yesterday and then they go on State TV. It's like
Speaker 1: they've been saber rattling all over State TV about you know,
Speaker 1: showing images of taking out American ships and you know,
Speaker 1: making proclamations that Donald Trump will be you know, in
Speaker 1: his cough in a number of days.
Speaker 2: Okay, I'm not.
Speaker 1: Sure what part of fourteen Bunker Busters they didn't learn
Speaker 1: a lesson from, but it is what it is. Prince
Speaker 1: Reza Pallavi, who's been on this program before, he said
Speaker 1: he thinks the regime is about to collapse as the
Speaker 1: economic crisis deepens. They've also had a major water shortage
Speaker 1: and they've had to like move out the entire city
Speaker 1: of Tehran. Anyway, we watch, We'll pray for our troops.
Speaker 1: Please everybody listening, you know, pray for those brave men
Speaker 1: and women. Pray for Israel, Pray for you know, that
Speaker 1: innocent life gets protected, and pray for a safer world.
Speaker 1: We are watching what's going on in Iran as we
Speaker 1: have been discussing, and we have joining us now Ambassador
Speaker 1: Nathan Seals. He served in the first Trump administration as
Speaker 1: Ambassador at Large for counter Terrorism. Acting under Secretary of State,
Speaker 1: played a key role in the maximum pressure CAMPAIG against
Speaker 1: the Iranian regime their terror proxies. In twenty twenty two,
Speaker 1: he was sanctioned by Iran. Knows the country well. He
Speaker 1: joins US today. As the Iranians have rejected the list
Speaker 1: of agenda items that Donald Trump was insisting on if
Speaker 1: they wanted to make a deal with the US, the
Speaker 1: President put a timeline on it. That timeline is ending
Speaker 1: very quickly. And as I just laid out for you,
Speaker 1: we have the largest military presence in the region since
Speaker 1: the Gulf War and the build up in the Gulf War.
Speaker 1: I mean, if you look off, for example, in the
Speaker 1: Arabian Sea, off the coast of Pakistan and Iran, you've got,
Speaker 1: you know, in that case, the USS Abraham Lincoln and
Speaker 1: three destroyers. If you look in the Persian Golf off
Speaker 1: the coast of Kuwait, Cutter and the UAE, you got
Speaker 1: five destroyers, three combat ships. If you look off the
Speaker 1: coast of Lebanon, Israel and the Mediterranean, you know you
Speaker 1: got let's see the USS Gerald R. Ford and three
Speaker 1: destroyers there. And you got a ton of air bases
Speaker 1: in the region and fighter jets and drones and helicopters.
Speaker 1: I don't know what part of Donald Trump they don't
Speaker 1: take seriously.
Speaker 2: He gave him on deadline.
Speaker 1: Fifty days the last time Dave fifty one, Israel you know,
Speaker 1: started wiping him out. That's pretty remarkable to me. Seventy
Speaker 1: to nine percent of Americans do fear a nuclear armed
Speaker 1: Iran and that opposes a direct threat to our country.
Speaker 1: Eighty nine percent view Iran as an enemy and not friendly.
Speaker 1: Those are smart people, and you know so, I don't
Speaker 1: think the president has any choice, just like he didn't
Speaker 1: have any choice with Operation Midnight Hammer. The Israelis did
Speaker 1: not have the military capability of dropping fourteen bunker buster
Speaker 1: bombs to take out and obliterate those nuclear facilities. Now,
Speaker 1: whatever uranium they had stored elsewhere in the country, I
Speaker 1: don't know. Steve Witkoff seems to think that they're on
Speaker 1: the verge of potentially building out a weapon. He's the
Speaker 1: Middle Eastern envoy. Is nothing that they seems they won't
Speaker 1: do to get nuclear weapons, and they just hell bent
Speaker 1: on it anyway, Ambassador Sales, great to have you, Baxtar,
Speaker 1: Thank you for being with us. Our prayers are with
Speaker 1: our US men and women in the region. Of course,
Speaker 1: the President has said he'd prefer peace. I prefer peace.
Speaker 1: But the President has shown that the Trump doctrine is
Speaker 1: not isolationism. Yeah, means no boots on the ground, no
Speaker 1: forever wars. But he did take out around, he did
Speaker 1: take out Isis, He took out the Iranian nuclear sites,
Speaker 1: he took out Solomani Bagdaddy and all his pals, and
Speaker 1: dropped the mother of all bombs on Afghanistan. Sall, they
Speaker 1: shouldn't be surprised when this deadline comes that Donald Trump's
Speaker 1: gonna act.
Speaker 3: Well, Shan, thanks for having me on. I think you're
Speaker 3: exactly right. The Iranians are exceptionally bad at reading the room.
Speaker 3: The President isn't exactly being ambiguous here, He's being very clear.
Speaker 3: We want a diplomatic resolution. That's plan A, but we've
Speaker 3: got a Plan B. And that Plan B is floating
Speaker 3: off your coast with the ability to deliver overwhelming firepower
Speaker 3: like you. I hope the Iranians come to their senses
Speaker 3: and negotiate an end to the nuclear program. But what
Speaker 3: does it say about their priorities that they're prepared to
Speaker 3: take their country and the entire region to the brink
Speaker 3: of a war. They're not doing that because they want
Speaker 3: nuclear energy. They're not doing it because they want to
Speaker 3: lower energy prices for Iranian consumers. They're doing it because
Speaker 3: they want to preserve a pathway to a bomb. And
Speaker 3: that's why the administrations demand no domestic uranium enrichment of
Speaker 3: any kind. That's why that's so important. The only reason
Speaker 3: the Iranians could have for wanting to enrich uranium is
Speaker 3: because they want to preserve a pathway to a bomb.
Speaker 3: And that's the one thing the administration has said is
Speaker 3: completely out of bounds.
Speaker 1: All right, as you look at the firepower we have
Speaker 1: in the region, and I can add to that high
Speaker 1: end F twenty two fighter jets at an Israeli air
Speaker 1: base prepared for combat. On top of it, then you
Speaker 1: have the Ambassador to Israel, friend of this program, Mike Hackabee,
Speaker 1: sent an email to embassy staff telling them today that
Speaker 1: there's no need to panic, but if they want to
Speaker 1: leave Israel, they quote should do so today. According to
Speaker 1: a US official, it follows orders of a partial evacuation
Speaker 1: of the embassy and embassy personnel in Lebanon on February
Speaker 1: twenty third, The timing of any military action against Iran
Speaker 1: will always remain unknown. According to reports, Secretary of State
Speaker 1: Mark or Rubio plans to visit Israel on Monday to
Speaker 1: brief Israeli leaders on Iranian talks. We already know that
Speaker 1: they kind of, you know, failed, yo.
Speaker 3: All this is consistent, by the.
Speaker 1: Way, and we didn't fail. They just are stubbornness and stupid.
Speaker 1: But we didn't fail on our m We did our part.
Speaker 3: Well, that's right. It takes two to tango. We're extending
Speaker 3: an olive branch, but we also have an eagle's claw
Speaker 3: full of arrows that are ready to go, and it's
Speaker 3: the Iranian's choice which one they're going to deal with.
Speaker 3: All this is consistent with the administration's approach that you know,
Speaker 3: we're serious about diplomacy, but we're not bluffing. We're not
Speaker 3: moving people out of the region because we're trying to
Speaker 3: send a message. We're moving people out of the region
Speaker 3: because this could get real very quickly. And it's ultimately
Speaker 3: up to the Iranians whether they want to pursue a
Speaker 3: path of peace or whether they dig in their heels
Speaker 3: and risk their regime and risk their lives because they're
Speaker 3: so committed to an apocalyptic vision of a nuclear armed Iran.
Speaker 3: You know, they always say they don't want a nuclear weapon,
Speaker 3: but I don't think they've earned the right to be trusted.
Speaker 3: Nobody should take that claim to the bank, because their
Speaker 3: actions speak loud other than their words, and the fact
Speaker 3: that they are prepared to risk war again over uranium
Speaker 3: tells you that that is not a peaceful nuclear program.
Speaker 3: It's only useful to them to the extent that it
Speaker 3: enables them to seek a bomb.
Speaker 2: Did you hear about this story?
Speaker 1: An alleged Iranian backed terrorist bizarrely thought he could put
Speaker 1: a bargain priced hit out on Donald Trump, paying two
Speaker 1: men amasingly five thousand dollars up front and coming up
Speaker 1: with this insane plot that you know, by placing a
Speaker 1: vape on a napkin to denote his target, meaning President Trump.
Speaker 1: According to details that were just released yesterday, this is
Speaker 1: the target. How will it die? And this idiot said,
Speaker 1: you know, as he gestured, you know, to a creamsicle
Speaker 1: colored smoking device inside a hotel room filled with FBI
Speaker 1: secret cameras and footage played for a Brooklyn jury. Apparently,
Speaker 1: I mean, I mean, we have to understand among the
Speaker 1: many people unvetted that Biden and Harris led in this
Speaker 1: country are known terrorists from over two hundred countries, over
Speaker 1: twelve million people, murderers, rapists, known terrorists, you know, child molesters,
Speaker 1: cartel members, gang members, other violent criminals, drug dealers.
Speaker 2: This is insane.
Speaker 3: And the Iranian regime is very, very capable at the
Speaker 3: dark arts of assassination and terrorism. It's one of their
Speaker 3: preferred foreign policy tools is using terrorist proxies to carry
Speaker 3: out violent reprisals all around the world. And so, you know,
Speaker 3: we can sit here and laugh at the incompetence on
Speaker 3: display in.
Speaker 1: This oh this is a real, clear present danger to
Speaker 1: our country and the people in this country.
Speaker 2: I once had a flat wall on my head. I
Speaker 2: know I've lived it.
Speaker 3: Exactly exactly, and we should never take our eyes off
Speaker 3: the fact that as we speak, there are Iranian plots
Speaker 3: actively targeting a number of Americans just for doing their
Speaker 3: jobs as government officials. President Trump, former Secretary of State
Speaker 3: Mike Pompeo, former National Security Advisor John Bolden. All of
Speaker 3: these people live with a death sentence because they had
Speaker 3: the nerve to defend America from Iran and I Ran
Speaker 3: will do what they have to to try and execute
Speaker 3: these plots. We have to remain vigilized. I'm glad to
Speaker 3: see this case proceeding because it's just the tip of
Speaker 3: the iceberg. The Iranians are playing for keeps when it
Speaker 3: comes to assassinations and terrorism.
Speaker 1: Do you think there's any scenario under which the Iranians
Speaker 1: can survive what is likely to come their way assuming
Speaker 1: they don't agree to what President Trump is demanding.
Speaker 3: It's a great question, and I think it really depends
Speaker 3: on how ambitious a strike the president orders. If he
Speaker 3: does order a strike, you know, one option is to
Speaker 3: go for a decapitation strike and take out regime leadership figures.
Speaker 3: A more modest approach would be directed specifically the nuclear
Speaker 3: weapons program and you know some of the regime security
Speaker 3: elements that were responsible for brutally murdering thousands and thousands
Speaker 3: of protesters not too long ago. If the administration goes
Speaker 3: for the middle approach, you know, going after the nuclear
Speaker 3: program and the regime officials, that doesn't necessarily mean that
Speaker 3: the Supreme Leader is safe. It might precipitate an uprising
Speaker 3: among the people who take matters into their own hands
Speaker 3: and bring about regime change on their own. That's not
Speaker 3: something that the American people can decide for Iran. That's
Speaker 3: something for the Iranian people to decide. But they may
Speaker 3: well rise up depending on how weak the regime looks
Speaker 3: in the aftermath of a possible US strike.
Speaker 1: Now, I'll just give people some information. I at the
Speaker 1: time never shared it with this audience because I was
Speaker 1: told not to. The Masade contacted Box Security and the NYPD,
Speaker 1: and they said that there's a fotlaw that will issued
Speaker 1: by some a mom against me, And you know, I'm
Speaker 1: grateful that they gave me the heads up. I'm grateful
Speaker 1: that the NYPD gave me a heads up. I'm grateful
Speaker 1: Fox provided security for an extended period of time with
Speaker 1: me at all times and around my house and protecting
Speaker 1: my children. And it was and what I was told
Speaker 1: at the time is this is very real. This is
Speaker 1: not a game. Take it seriously. And the order was
Speaker 1: to put my head on a spike. Wouldn't have been
Speaker 1: that attractive, I don't think. But I took it seriously.
Speaker 1: And you know, it ends up this particularly mom is dead.
Speaker 1: But the idea that there are cells in the US,
Speaker 1: that there were people that be sympathetic to this type
Speaker 1: of order given and for you know, me being told
Speaker 1: to take it seriously is chilling, especially in light of
Speaker 1: you know, in the case of President Trump, far more
Speaker 1: important than lilol Sean. You know, we've had two you know,
Speaker 1: would be assassins against Timmy came within a millimeter of
Speaker 1: losing his life.
Speaker 3: That's scary stuff, Sean, a really really chilling story. And unfortunately,
Speaker 3: this is the kind of stuff that the Iranian regime
Speaker 3: specializes in. You know, we talked about the plot against
Speaker 3: John Bolton. This is why the southern border is so
Speaker 3: important and why it's essential to secure the southern border.
Speaker 3: The plot against Bolton, the Iranian regime reached out to
Speaker 3: Mexican cartels with instructions to try and come to the
Speaker 3: US and carry out an assassination. And the same thing
Speaker 3: happened more than a decade ago. They tried to blow
Speaker 3: up a restaurant in Washington, d C. To kill the
Speaker 3: Saudi ambassador. And guess who they were working with there again,
Speaker 3: Mexican cartels on the southern side of the border. So
Speaker 3: that border has to be locked down, not just for
Speaker 3: immigration reasons and a million other reasons, but because we
Speaker 3: can't afford to expose a vulnerability to Iranian back terrorists.
Speaker 1: You know, I've been friends with Prime Minister Natanyahu for
Speaker 1: thirty years, and I've been over to Israel a number
Speaker 1: of times, as I know you have been, and I've
Speaker 1: been in the terror tunnels, and I've been to border cities.
Speaker 1: That one city in particulars Deroute, hit with ten thousand
Speaker 1: rockets in ten years, if you can believe it. Kids
Speaker 1: can't even play outside. They played in underground bunker playgrounds.
Speaker 1: And I've told that story many times. But you know,
Speaker 1: the amount of security that the Prime Minister lives with
Speaker 1: every day is beyond any comprehension people can have. Let's
Speaker 1: put it that way, because if they could, they would
Speaker 1: want to take him out.
Speaker 3: They would, and frankly, they're less capable of doing that
Speaker 3: today than they were two or three years ago. And
Speaker 3: the reason for that is because after October seventh, Israel
Speaker 3: fought back and really decimated a number of the Iranian
Speaker 3: regimes frontline terror proxies. Has Blah in Lebanon has been
Speaker 3: reduced to a shadow of its former self. Hamas has
Speaker 3: been Stazala's.
Speaker 1: Dead to the top ten leaders of HAMAS dead. They
Speaker 1: got them all. They got the nuclear scientists, they're dead.
Speaker 1: They took down their air defense systems and a lot
Speaker 1: of their missile battery systems.
Speaker 3: Exactly right. Iran is really on its back foot because
Speaker 3: Israel kept its eye on the ball and applied pressure
Speaker 3: to all of those different tentacles of the Iranian regimes
Speaker 3: campaign against it. They tried to encircle Israel with a
Speaker 3: ring of fire, and Israel was able to fight back
Speaker 3: and successfully defend itself against all those different threats. That
Speaker 3: doesn't mean Iran is not a threat. They are, but
Speaker 3: they are in a much weaker position today than they
Speaker 3: were maybe at any time since the revolution. They're weaker abroad,
Speaker 3: their proxies are in tatters, and at home they have
Speaker 3: no le whatsoever. Among the Iranian people. You have protesters
Speaker 3: out on the streets lighting their cigarettes with pictures of
Speaker 3: the Supreme Leader. That tells everything you need to know
Speaker 3: about this regime.
Speaker 2: All right.
Speaker 1: Our prayers are with our brave men and women in
Speaker 1: the region if they are called to duty. Nathan Sal's ambassador,
Speaker 1: thank you so much for being with us. We appreciate
Speaker 1: your time.
