1 00:00:01,040 --> 00:00:03,080 Speaker 1: All right, thank you Scott Shannon, and thanks to all 2 00:00:03,120 --> 00:00:04,960 Speaker 1: of you for being with us. Here's our toll free 3 00:00:05,120 --> 00:00:07,400 Speaker 1: telephone number. It's eight hundred and nine four to one 4 00:00:07,440 --> 00:00:10,320 Speaker 1: Seawan if you want to be a part of the program. 5 00:00:10,400 --> 00:00:13,480 Speaker 1: I think we all need to stop and pause and 6 00:00:13,520 --> 00:00:18,120 Speaker 1: be very grateful for the incredible men and women that 7 00:00:18,200 --> 00:00:22,200 Speaker 1: serve in our military, and for a president that has 8 00:00:22,360 --> 00:00:27,720 Speaker 1: the moral clarity and deep understanding and common sense of 9 00:00:27,920 --> 00:00:31,600 Speaker 1: a world that cannot live with the possibility of the 10 00:00:31,680 --> 00:00:36,000 Speaker 1: number one state sponsor of terror having nuclear weapons, and 11 00:00:36,200 --> 00:00:38,360 Speaker 1: the incredible job. We'll go into a lot of the 12 00:00:38,400 --> 00:00:40,720 Speaker 1: specificity of what they were able to do and how 13 00:00:40,760 --> 00:00:46,319 Speaker 1: they did it on Saturday night, The level of deception, well, 14 00:00:46,360 --> 00:00:50,239 Speaker 1: first of all, the level of planning, the level the 15 00:00:50,280 --> 00:00:54,200 Speaker 1: bigger part of the planning before this mission ever even started, 16 00:00:54,400 --> 00:01:00,000 Speaker 1: was knowing and anticipating what possible retaliation there might exist, 17 00:01:00,280 --> 00:01:05,080 Speaker 1: what risk any any bomber might risk flying into Iranian airspace, 18 00:01:05,920 --> 00:01:09,880 Speaker 1: The risk we know under Joe Biden, Kamala Harris, and Mayorcis. 19 00:01:10,160 --> 00:01:13,480 Speaker 1: You know we have untold numbers of of known terrorists, 20 00:01:13,560 --> 00:01:20,039 Speaker 1: Iranian assassination squads, the number of Iranians that were let 21 00:01:20,080 --> 00:01:23,000 Speaker 1: into the country that we caught, never mind got aways, 22 00:01:23,200 --> 00:01:26,560 Speaker 1: is staggering. I'll give you those those numbers at a minute, 23 00:01:27,400 --> 00:01:30,160 Speaker 1: but those are if any any the terrorists that made 24 00:01:30,160 --> 00:01:33,319 Speaker 1: it into this country. Everyone needs to understand there they 25 00:01:33,360 --> 00:01:36,920 Speaker 1: are already plotting and planning and scheming their attack, whatever 26 00:01:36,959 --> 00:01:40,800 Speaker 1: it might be, on this country. And that will be 27 00:01:40,840 --> 00:01:44,399 Speaker 1: more blood on the hands of Biden, Harris and Mayorcis 28 00:01:44,480 --> 00:01:47,320 Speaker 1: because they let them in unvetted, and they didn't care, 29 00:01:47,400 --> 00:01:49,360 Speaker 1: and even when they knew they were from Iran, they 30 00:01:49,400 --> 00:01:53,040 Speaker 1: still let them go. I mean, this is this is insanity, 31 00:01:53,080 --> 00:01:56,680 Speaker 1: This is madness. We talked often about the countries, over 32 00:01:56,720 --> 00:02:00,560 Speaker 1: two hundred of them, many with terror ties, and how 33 00:02:00,600 --> 00:02:04,120 Speaker 1: these people will being allowed into our country. They went 34 00:02:04,320 --> 00:02:08,320 Speaker 1: in knowing the danger of the possibility of shutting down 35 00:02:08,360 --> 00:02:11,120 Speaker 1: the streets or horn moves, disrupting the free flow of 36 00:02:11,160 --> 00:02:14,600 Speaker 1: oil at market prices. We knew that possibility. We also 37 00:02:14,680 --> 00:02:17,240 Speaker 1: know there's a possibility that they may end up mining 38 00:02:17,280 --> 00:02:22,360 Speaker 1: the straits, although I'm less of a mind to believe 39 00:02:22,440 --> 00:02:25,680 Speaker 1: that now. And we knew that our bases in the region, 40 00:02:26,280 --> 00:02:29,880 Speaker 1: and we saw this on display in the last hour 41 00:02:29,880 --> 00:02:34,200 Speaker 1: and a half, are our largest base inside of the 42 00:02:34,240 --> 00:02:38,880 Speaker 1: Middle East. I was actually there Goha in cutter or guitar. 43 00:02:39,040 --> 00:02:41,440 Speaker 1: You can say it either way, and it's both acceptable. 44 00:02:43,200 --> 00:02:46,800 Speaker 1: Had six missiles fired at it. We'll get to that 45 00:02:46,840 --> 00:02:50,320 Speaker 1: in a second. But the level of planning, the level 46 00:02:50,520 --> 00:02:55,800 Speaker 1: of deception, and it is at the highest level that 47 00:02:55,840 --> 00:02:59,760 Speaker 1: we've ever heard of. The incredible use of our intelligence, 48 00:03:00,520 --> 00:03:03,679 Speaker 1: the amount of detail in the planning. A lot of 49 00:03:03,680 --> 00:03:06,400 Speaker 1: people don't know that a lot of Americans were taken 50 00:03:06,400 --> 00:03:08,120 Speaker 1: out of the region and the lead up to this. 51 00:03:08,840 --> 00:03:13,480 Speaker 1: There before any of this started, they had anticipated and 52 00:03:13,560 --> 00:03:17,919 Speaker 1: gamed out every possible retaliation effort that the Iranians might 53 00:03:17,960 --> 00:03:22,160 Speaker 1: be involved in. Then, of course, the absolute precision, the 54 00:03:22,560 --> 00:03:30,280 Speaker 1: overwhelming might of American the American military. The Tomahawk missiles 55 00:03:30,280 --> 00:03:34,440 Speaker 1: fired from an amazing four hundred miles away, every one 56 00:03:34,480 --> 00:03:37,880 Speaker 1: of them a direct hit. Incredible precision. How they did 57 00:03:37,920 --> 00:03:41,160 Speaker 1: all of this completely undetected. When you look at the timeline, 58 00:03:41,240 --> 00:03:45,480 Speaker 1: it's incredible. We should be proud at the level of 59 00:03:45,560 --> 00:03:51,160 Speaker 1: detail and the professionalism, and how blessed and lucky and 60 00:03:51,280 --> 00:03:54,800 Speaker 1: fortunate we are to have the greatest military force on 61 00:03:54,840 --> 00:03:57,400 Speaker 1: the face of this Earth, and a commander in chief 62 00:03:57,440 --> 00:04:00,400 Speaker 1: with the common sense to understand the world cannot live 63 00:04:00,880 --> 00:04:03,560 Speaker 1: with the number one state sponsor of terror, married to 64 00:04:03,600 --> 00:04:07,560 Speaker 1: weapons of mass destruction, that has been doing everything in 65 00:04:07,600 --> 00:04:11,520 Speaker 1: their power directly and through their proxies to white Israel 66 00:04:11,600 --> 00:04:14,920 Speaker 1: off the map, but also chanting even last Friday, death 67 00:04:15,000 --> 00:04:18,200 Speaker 1: to America and reaffirming just a few months ago from 68 00:04:18,200 --> 00:04:22,039 Speaker 1: the Supreme Leader's mouth himself that their goal is ultimately 69 00:04:22,120 --> 00:04:25,960 Speaker 1: to take down the United States of America. And factoring in, 70 00:04:26,040 --> 00:04:28,440 Speaker 1: of course, all the Americans that have died at the 71 00:04:28,520 --> 00:04:33,359 Speaker 1: hands of the Iranians over the years, it is the 72 00:04:33,440 --> 00:04:37,359 Speaker 1: time for retribution is long come and gone. Let me 73 00:04:37,400 --> 00:04:40,200 Speaker 1: get into what has been breaking news for the last 74 00:04:40,279 --> 00:04:44,640 Speaker 1: ninety minutes. It started this morning when Cutter announced that 75 00:04:44,680 --> 00:04:48,760 Speaker 1: they were shutting down their airspace part of measures taken 76 00:04:48,800 --> 00:04:53,359 Speaker 1: amid developments in the region, according to Katari Foreign Ministry. 77 00:04:53,960 --> 00:04:58,120 Speaker 1: And they shut down the airspace because let me tell 78 00:04:58,120 --> 00:05:01,400 Speaker 1: you what happened. Even the New York Times now has 79 00:05:01,400 --> 00:05:04,080 Speaker 1: a report on this. Three Iranian officials familiar with the 80 00:05:04,160 --> 00:05:09,840 Speaker 1: plans to attack our air base in Cutter said that 81 00:05:09,960 --> 00:05:14,360 Speaker 1: Iran did in fact give advance notice to the Guitari 82 00:05:14,600 --> 00:05:20,679 Speaker 1: officials that attacks were coming as a way to save faith. 83 00:05:20,680 --> 00:05:26,240 Speaker 1: This is a symbolic face saving gesture, if you will, 84 00:05:26,680 --> 00:05:31,160 Speaker 1: if you give the Guitaris and the Americans a heads up, yeah, 85 00:05:31,200 --> 00:05:38,400 Speaker 1: we're gonna fire six missiles, the same number of weapons 86 00:05:38,400 --> 00:05:42,320 Speaker 1: that hit you know, they're one the four doz site 87 00:05:42,880 --> 00:05:46,760 Speaker 1: with bunker busters as a means of acting like you're responding, 88 00:05:46,839 --> 00:05:49,080 Speaker 1: so you can use it as a propaganda point and 89 00:05:49,120 --> 00:05:52,479 Speaker 1: tell the people in Iran, oh, yeah, we just destroyed them. 90 00:05:52,720 --> 00:05:55,520 Speaker 1: It is very consistent with how they acted in the past. 91 00:05:55,600 --> 00:05:59,280 Speaker 1: Now what's amazing about this is if you go back 92 00:05:59,320 --> 00:06:02,840 Speaker 1: to twenty twenty in the killing of Solomani, it is 93 00:06:03,200 --> 00:06:06,960 Speaker 1: and at that point there it's kind of an underreported, 94 00:06:07,120 --> 00:06:11,120 Speaker 1: untold story. The United States was given a heads up 95 00:06:11,560 --> 00:06:15,400 Speaker 1: when Iran and Iran gave Iraq a heads up before 96 00:06:15,440 --> 00:06:18,400 Speaker 1: they fired ballistic missiles at an American base in Iraq 97 00:06:19,360 --> 00:06:23,240 Speaker 1: following the assassination of Solomani. He was their top terror leader. 98 00:06:24,200 --> 00:06:28,520 Speaker 1: And it just shows you the depth of fear that 99 00:06:28,600 --> 00:06:32,920 Speaker 1: the Iranians have of Donald J. Trump. I mean, such 100 00:06:32,920 --> 00:06:39,039 Speaker 1: a star. Contrast to Barack Obama dropping cargo planes full 101 00:06:39,040 --> 00:06:42,240 Speaker 1: of cash and other currencies and billions of dollars on 102 00:06:42,320 --> 00:06:45,840 Speaker 1: a tarmac to appease the Iranian leadership in the hopes 103 00:06:45,880 --> 00:06:47,919 Speaker 1: that we're gonna come up with a nuclear deal. Meanwhile, 104 00:06:47,920 --> 00:06:53,120 Speaker 1: there's no any place anywhere anytime, inspections and Obama and 105 00:06:53,120 --> 00:06:55,360 Speaker 1: I'll play this later in the program, was fully aware 106 00:06:56,000 --> 00:06:58,880 Speaker 1: of the for docite. For example, if you want it 107 00:06:58,920 --> 00:07:03,920 Speaker 1: for civilian purposes or nuclear power, you don't need to 108 00:07:04,080 --> 00:07:07,680 Speaker 1: build it three hundred feet into a mountainside, very deep 109 00:07:07,920 --> 00:07:10,760 Speaker 1: down inside that mountain as a means of fortifying it 110 00:07:10,800 --> 00:07:14,280 Speaker 1: from an attack. Although it didn't really serve them well 111 00:07:14,400 --> 00:07:17,120 Speaker 1: or serve the purpose that they wanted here, but that 112 00:07:17,200 --> 00:07:21,880 Speaker 1: in fact happened. But it seems like that pattern of yeah, 113 00:07:21,920 --> 00:07:25,240 Speaker 1: we're responding, but just know that this isn't a real response, 114 00:07:25,360 --> 00:07:28,000 Speaker 1: and it's coming at this time, and you might want 115 00:07:28,000 --> 00:07:30,280 Speaker 1: to get your missile defense systems in place, and you 116 00:07:30,360 --> 00:07:33,040 Speaker 1: might want to be ready because we want to be 117 00:07:33,040 --> 00:07:35,960 Speaker 1: able to tell our citizenry that we fought back and 118 00:07:36,000 --> 00:07:39,960 Speaker 1: we got you good. I mean, it's insane, but it's 119 00:07:40,000 --> 00:07:44,400 Speaker 1: a culture I guess that is rooted in imagery. And 120 00:07:45,200 --> 00:07:47,640 Speaker 1: you know they have a face saving effort. I have 121 00:07:47,720 --> 00:07:53,960 Speaker 1: no idea. The thing is, and I've been when all 122 00:07:54,000 --> 00:07:57,160 Speaker 1: of the talk and when Israel started as this conflict 123 00:07:57,640 --> 00:07:59,840 Speaker 1: and what the Israelis have been able to pull off 124 00:07:59,880 --> 00:08:03,440 Speaker 1: is miraculous. Also, all of this is going to be studied. 125 00:08:04,040 --> 00:08:08,640 Speaker 1: What Donald Trump did with these three facilities, both Bordeaux, 126 00:08:09,200 --> 00:08:15,160 Speaker 1: Natans and Esfahan, all three of these facilities. What he 127 00:08:15,240 --> 00:08:17,920 Speaker 1: has been able to do is now made the world 128 00:08:18,120 --> 00:08:22,280 Speaker 1: a safer place, a much safer place. And what our 129 00:08:22,320 --> 00:08:24,920 Speaker 1: military has been able to pull off here you should 130 00:08:24,920 --> 00:08:30,280 Speaker 1: be extraordinarily proud of. I mean, it's after they were 131 00:08:30,360 --> 00:08:37,400 Speaker 1: able to anticipate and game out any potential consequences to 132 00:08:37,480 --> 00:08:40,760 Speaker 1: the attack or and all the potential danger involved in it, 133 00:08:41,800 --> 00:08:46,480 Speaker 1: and then to execute it to perfection is just it's 134 00:08:46,679 --> 00:08:49,640 Speaker 1: just an amazing thing. Kind of like the Israelis actually 135 00:08:49,760 --> 00:08:54,040 Speaker 1: had drones inside of Iran and the known locations of 136 00:08:54,080 --> 00:08:57,400 Speaker 1: their top scientists and their top generals and were able 137 00:08:57,480 --> 00:08:59,439 Speaker 1: to take them out at the very beginning of this 138 00:08:59,800 --> 00:09:05,560 Speaker 1: entire high conflict most or flare up and the fact 139 00:09:05,600 --> 00:09:07,880 Speaker 1: that they were able to, you know, take down their 140 00:09:07,880 --> 00:09:11,400 Speaker 1: air defense systems. If you were ever going to do this, 141 00:09:11,400 --> 00:09:13,960 Speaker 1: this was the time to do it at the level 142 00:09:14,080 --> 00:09:17,920 Speaker 1: of safety that you would want for any American soldier 143 00:09:17,920 --> 00:09:21,920 Speaker 1: that was flying a B two with these bunker buster bombs. 144 00:09:23,080 --> 00:09:28,200 Speaker 1: But anyway, on the President's orders, Central Command under Eric 145 00:09:28,559 --> 00:09:33,120 Speaker 1: Gorilla executed what's called Operation Midnight Hammer, which was this 146 00:09:33,559 --> 00:09:37,520 Speaker 1: precise strike against not one, not just the four dose site, 147 00:09:37,559 --> 00:09:39,560 Speaker 1: which is where most people thought this was going. Now, 148 00:09:39,600 --> 00:09:43,440 Speaker 1: conventional wisdom was that they would only need two bunker 149 00:09:43,480 --> 00:09:46,280 Speaker 1: buster bombs. When I spoke to the President before I 150 00:09:46,360 --> 00:09:48,640 Speaker 1: went on the air for two hours on Saturday night 151 00:09:48,920 --> 00:09:52,160 Speaker 1: as this story was unfolding, he told me they used 152 00:09:52,200 --> 00:09:55,600 Speaker 1: six bunker busters. I didn't know it was on the 153 00:09:55,640 --> 00:09:58,600 Speaker 1: one facility, although I was pretty sure it was on 154 00:09:58,640 --> 00:10:01,120 Speaker 1: the four door facility. They didn't know that. They also, 155 00:10:01,200 --> 00:10:03,800 Speaker 1: in the end used fourteen of them. And I'll get 156 00:10:03,840 --> 00:10:07,120 Speaker 1: to that in a minute. And then the Tomahawk missiles 157 00:10:07,120 --> 00:10:10,160 Speaker 1: filed filed fired from four hundred miles away from a 158 00:10:10,280 --> 00:10:14,080 Speaker 1: US submarine, and every one of them hitting their target. 159 00:10:14,160 --> 00:10:16,720 Speaker 1: It is all of it's complex, all of it is 160 00:10:16,800 --> 00:10:20,880 Speaker 1: high risk, and everyone involved in this, from the lowest 161 00:10:20,960 --> 00:10:23,720 Speaker 1: level to the highest level, needs our debt of gratitude. 162 00:10:24,200 --> 00:10:27,920 Speaker 1: But it was designed to destroy and wipe out Iranians 163 00:10:28,040 --> 00:10:32,200 Speaker 1: nuclear ambitions and their complete infrastructure. And it was successful 164 00:10:33,200 --> 00:10:37,000 Speaker 1: and Anyway, the main strike comprised of the seven B 165 00:10:37,120 --> 00:10:41,000 Speaker 1: two bombers, each had two crew members and they were 166 00:10:41,080 --> 00:10:45,800 Speaker 1: able to proceed quietly to the east with minimal to 167 00:10:45,960 --> 00:10:50,000 Speaker 1: zero communications in an eighteen hour flight, and they were 168 00:10:50,040 --> 00:10:53,880 Speaker 1: able to direct and divert the world's attention by sending 169 00:10:53,920 --> 00:10:57,960 Speaker 1: B two bombers in another direction quote for refueling in Guam, 170 00:10:58,160 --> 00:11:00,959 Speaker 1: and apparently the entire world fell for it, and that's 171 00:11:01,000 --> 00:11:03,200 Speaker 1: where the media's attention was most of the day. The 172 00:11:03,240 --> 00:11:08,920 Speaker 1: aircraft completed, you know, multi in flight refueling things. I 173 00:11:08,920 --> 00:11:12,200 Speaker 1: actually lived through that when I went to Iraq on 174 00:11:12,200 --> 00:11:15,560 Speaker 1: one occasion on a C one thirty. It is it 175 00:11:15,640 --> 00:11:17,480 Speaker 1: is a sight to behold when you see it in 176 00:11:17,480 --> 00:11:20,640 Speaker 1: real life. It is incredible. A plane, a refueling plane 177 00:11:20,640 --> 00:11:23,800 Speaker 1: will fly just above, in this case, the sea one 178 00:11:23,920 --> 00:11:28,120 Speaker 1: thirty and literally you see this pose just you know, 179 00:11:28,240 --> 00:11:30,680 Speaker 1: like waving in the air, and then it connects and 180 00:11:30,720 --> 00:11:33,360 Speaker 1: it refuels the plane and you just keep going NonStop. 181 00:11:33,440 --> 00:11:38,400 Speaker 1: It's pretty amazing. But the mainstrike package had these seven 182 00:11:38,920 --> 00:11:43,800 Speaker 1: B two bombers and this eighteen hour flight they completed, 183 00:11:44,160 --> 00:11:48,160 Speaker 1: you know, all these refuelings, and once over land they 184 00:11:48,640 --> 00:11:53,880 Speaker 1: lined up with an escort and support aircraft, an extremely complex, 185 00:11:54,360 --> 00:12:00,560 Speaker 1: tightly time maneuver requiring synchronization across multiple platforms in a 186 00:12:00,720 --> 00:12:04,440 Speaker 1: very narrow piece of air space, all done with minimal 187 00:12:04,520 --> 00:12:10,839 Speaker 1: communications and the integrity the operation was a complete success. 188 00:12:11,040 --> 00:12:14,960 Speaker 1: I mean, you had nine stealth bombers used in total. 189 00:12:15,040 --> 00:12:17,640 Speaker 1: Two of them were decoys that flew west over the 190 00:12:17,640 --> 00:12:20,839 Speaker 1: Pacific that's where the world's attention went, and you had 191 00:12:20,920 --> 00:12:24,840 Speaker 1: seven that were flying directly to Iran. You know, my 192 00:12:24,960 --> 00:12:27,600 Speaker 1: sources told me that they were actually they were able 193 00:12:27,640 --> 00:12:33,679 Speaker 1: to manufacture on radar screens that the Iranians were seeing 194 00:12:33,920 --> 00:12:38,600 Speaker 1: phantom planes that they thought were American planes that didn't 195 00:12:38,600 --> 00:12:42,320 Speaker 1: even exist and actually were firing at them while the 196 00:12:42,400 --> 00:12:46,520 Speaker 1: real B twos made their way undetected into the area, 197 00:12:47,440 --> 00:12:51,240 Speaker 1: and you know then obviously dropping the bunker buster bombs. 198 00:12:51,320 --> 00:12:55,520 Speaker 1: Only one submarine launched the thirty Tomahawk missiles into Iran. 199 00:12:55,600 --> 00:13:00,800 Speaker 1: At these other two facilities for submarines were converted to 200 00:13:00,840 --> 00:13:04,880 Speaker 1: become guided missile submarines which carry one hundred and fifty 201 00:13:04,880 --> 00:13:08,880 Speaker 1: four Tomahawks. If you want you know the specifics of it, 202 00:13:09,760 --> 00:13:13,320 Speaker 1: and you know, in every way, shape, matter of form, 203 00:13:13,440 --> 00:13:17,320 Speaker 1: this is it, and what's going to be interesting to 204 00:13:17,440 --> 00:13:20,280 Speaker 1: see is if the Iranians are going to use this 205 00:13:21,320 --> 00:13:26,520 Speaker 1: ridiculous attack on a with the heads up notice given. 206 00:13:26,800 --> 00:13:30,200 Speaker 1: I think that shows the real level of fear that 207 00:13:30,320 --> 00:13:34,560 Speaker 1: they have after what they experienced on Saturday night and 208 00:13:34,600 --> 00:13:38,240 Speaker 1: how they have no control of their own airspace. There 209 00:13:38,320 --> 00:13:41,560 Speaker 1: is no way they can win this war. You know, 210 00:13:41,840 --> 00:13:45,839 Speaker 1: the mission for the president was really twofold. He had 211 00:13:45,840 --> 00:13:48,760 Speaker 1: said over and over they cannot have nuclear weapons. Then 212 00:13:49,080 --> 00:13:51,280 Speaker 1: they go the sixty days. On the sixty first day, 213 00:13:51,320 --> 00:13:55,600 Speaker 1: the Israeli strike, and then the President says, okay, well, 214 00:13:55,920 --> 00:13:58,160 Speaker 1: you know, I warned you you should have taken the deal, 215 00:13:59,000 --> 00:14:01,480 Speaker 1: and he said, I'll give them up to two weeks. 216 00:14:01,760 --> 00:14:04,840 Speaker 1: And that was on Thursday of last week. On Friday, 217 00:14:05,040 --> 00:14:09,000 Speaker 1: the Iranian foreign minister said no to any negotiations. That 218 00:14:09,160 --> 00:14:15,400 Speaker 1: probably expedited the president's decision to go in sooner than 219 00:14:15,480 --> 00:14:18,400 Speaker 1: later and keep the element of surprise. And that's just 220 00:14:18,440 --> 00:14:21,680 Speaker 1: a guess on my part. I'll tell you a lot 221 00:14:21,720 --> 00:14:24,320 Speaker 1: more about what I know, what I was doing, who 222 00:14:24,360 --> 00:14:26,680 Speaker 1: I talked to, and I did have a number of 223 00:14:26,680 --> 00:14:30,320 Speaker 1: conversations with the president, and I'm just very grateful for 224 00:14:30,400 --> 00:14:33,440 Speaker 1: our military. I'm grateful for all the people that are 225 00:14:33,480 --> 00:14:35,840 Speaker 1: willing to risk their lives to make the world and 226 00:14:35,920 --> 00:14:38,440 Speaker 1: make America a safer place for all of us. These 227 00:14:38,480 --> 00:14:41,880 Speaker 1: are incredible people. There's no military mission that does not 228 00:14:42,040 --> 00:14:44,080 Speaker 1: have risk. By the way, we're not out of the 229 00:14:44,120 --> 00:14:49,360 Speaker 1: woods yet. It doesn't mean that there is a lack 230 00:14:49,400 --> 00:14:52,440 Speaker 1: of risk in the region. We know that Biden, Harris 231 00:14:52,480 --> 00:14:55,640 Speaker 1: may Orcus allowed known terrorists into the country, many from Iran. 232 00:14:55,680 --> 00:14:57,720 Speaker 1: We'll get into more detail on that in a second. 233 00:14:58,200 --> 00:15:01,440 Speaker 1: And I'm very grateful to every person in our military 234 00:15:01,520 --> 00:15:05,560 Speaker 1: and every person in the Trump administration that pulled this 235 00:15:05,720 --> 00:15:10,080 Speaker 1: off with perfection. It's something to make America proud. At 236 00:15:10,120 --> 00:15:11,960 Speaker 1: twenty five now til the top of the hour, thank 237 00:15:12,000 --> 00:15:13,760 Speaker 1: you for being with us. Here's our toll free number. 238 00:15:13,760 --> 00:15:16,160 Speaker 1: It's eight hundred and nine four one sean if you 239 00:15:16,160 --> 00:15:18,400 Speaker 1: want to be a part of the program. I'm not 240 00:15:18,680 --> 00:15:23,680 Speaker 1: sure and don't have a feel yet as to how 241 00:15:23,720 --> 00:15:31,200 Speaker 1: the President is going to respond to this well telegraphed 242 00:15:33,240 --> 00:15:39,120 Speaker 1: pinprick frankly symbolic. You know, the six missiles fired at 243 00:15:39,280 --> 00:15:44,200 Speaker 1: at the our Guitar or Cutter air base that it's 244 00:15:44,440 --> 00:15:49,520 Speaker 1: very reminiscent of what happened in twenty twenty after President 245 00:15:49,600 --> 00:15:54,320 Speaker 1: Trump took out Solomoni, whom it was a face saving move. 246 00:15:56,320 --> 00:16:00,000 Speaker 1: I always go back to listen to what the president 247 00:16:00,240 --> 00:16:03,760 Speaker 1: and says. The President kept saying, and we have him 248 00:16:03,760 --> 00:16:07,480 Speaker 1: on record since twenty eleven saying that the Iranians cannot 249 00:16:07,480 --> 00:16:11,440 Speaker 1: have nuclear weapons. Donald Trump does not make idle threats. 250 00:16:11,440 --> 00:16:15,680 Speaker 1: He just doesn't do it. And President Trump was very clear, 251 00:16:16,720 --> 00:16:19,280 Speaker 1: you should have taken the deal. He was clear to 252 00:16:19,360 --> 00:16:21,360 Speaker 1: the Iranians when he said that last week, and then 253 00:16:21,520 --> 00:16:27,280 Speaker 1: he gave them the ultimatum, which was unconditional surrender two words, 254 00:16:27,480 --> 00:16:33,120 Speaker 1: unconditional surrender. And he made that last He gave one 255 00:16:33,200 --> 00:16:37,760 Speaker 1: last shot at a peace process and said within two 256 00:16:37,800 --> 00:16:40,320 Speaker 1: weeks he would be striking. And then the very next day, 257 00:16:40,360 --> 00:16:44,560 Speaker 1: the Iranian foreign minister probably sealed their fate when he 258 00:16:44,600 --> 00:16:47,440 Speaker 1: made the comments, no, we're not going to be there's 259 00:16:47,480 --> 00:16:51,200 Speaker 1: not going to be any conversation when he said that. 260 00:16:51,440 --> 00:16:53,360 Speaker 1: I've listened to that and I'm like, all right, it's over. 261 00:16:53,840 --> 00:16:56,520 Speaker 1: And it may have accelerated the timeline for the president. 262 00:16:57,120 --> 00:17:00,280 Speaker 1: But with all that said, the president, if you listen 263 00:17:00,360 --> 00:17:02,520 Speaker 1: to him on Saturday night and all the comments that 264 00:17:02,520 --> 00:17:06,479 Speaker 1: he's made since, he said when he announced that this 265 00:17:06,560 --> 00:17:11,600 Speaker 1: had happened, that he was clear that he said, the 266 00:17:11,680 --> 00:17:16,120 Speaker 1: US military carried out massive precision strikes on three key 267 00:17:16,200 --> 00:17:20,480 Speaker 1: nuclear facilities in the iranium regime for Doe, the Tans, 268 00:17:21,119 --> 00:17:25,600 Speaker 1: and Esfahan, and he went on to say, everybody heard 269 00:17:25,600 --> 00:17:30,440 Speaker 1: those names for years as they built horrible, horrible, destructive enterprise. 270 00:17:30,640 --> 00:17:34,639 Speaker 1: Our objective was the destruction of Iran's nuclear enrichment capacity 271 00:17:35,119 --> 00:17:38,679 Speaker 1: and a stop to the nuclear threat posed by the 272 00:17:38,680 --> 00:17:42,280 Speaker 1: world's number one state sponsor of terror. Now this is 273 00:17:42,320 --> 00:17:46,760 Speaker 1: in complete agreement with the Trump doctrine as was defined 274 00:17:46,800 --> 00:17:49,360 Speaker 1: by his first term. And he said tonight I can 275 00:17:49,560 --> 00:17:52,120 Speaker 1: report that the world to the world that the strikes 276 00:17:52,119 --> 00:17:56,600 Speaker 1: were a spectacular military success. And he goes on a 277 00:17:56,680 --> 00:18:01,119 Speaker 1: Rans nuclear and Richmond facilities have been completely, entire totally obliterated, 278 00:18:01,560 --> 00:18:05,200 Speaker 1: and future attacks would be far greater and a lot easier. 279 00:18:05,600 --> 00:18:09,040 Speaker 1: For forty years, the Iranians have been saying death to America, 280 00:18:09,119 --> 00:18:12,080 Speaker 1: death to Israel. They have been killing our people, blowing 281 00:18:12,119 --> 00:18:15,879 Speaker 1: off their arms, blowing off their legs, roadside bombs. That 282 00:18:16,040 --> 00:18:18,760 Speaker 1: was their specialty. We spent a lot of time last 283 00:18:18,760 --> 00:18:22,480 Speaker 1: week listing all the incidences and the number of dead 284 00:18:22,520 --> 00:18:26,040 Speaker 1: Americans at the hands of Iranians, you know, going back 285 00:18:26,080 --> 00:18:29,080 Speaker 1: to their forever war, if you will, against us, since 286 00:18:29,160 --> 00:18:32,639 Speaker 1: nineteen seventy nine, and he said, we lost over one 287 00:18:32,680 --> 00:18:35,960 Speaker 1: thousand people. Hundreds of thousands throughout the Middle East and 288 00:18:36,160 --> 00:18:38,760 Speaker 1: around the world have died as a direct result of 289 00:18:38,800 --> 00:18:42,359 Speaker 1: their hate. So many were killed by their general Solomoni. 290 00:18:42,400 --> 00:18:44,280 Speaker 1: I decided a long time ago that I would not 291 00:18:44,359 --> 00:18:47,840 Speaker 1: let this happen. It will not continue. And then he 292 00:18:47,880 --> 00:18:52,480 Speaker 1: said he thanked the Prime Minister of Israel, Prime Minister 293 00:18:52,560 --> 00:18:55,960 Speaker 1: net Yahoo, and described how they worked as a team. 294 00:18:56,040 --> 00:18:58,960 Speaker 1: He said, perhaps like no other team has ever worked before. 295 00:18:59,000 --> 00:19:01,800 Speaker 1: We've gone a long way to raising this horrible threat 296 00:19:02,080 --> 00:19:04,760 Speaker 1: to Israel. I want to thank their military for the 297 00:19:04,800 --> 00:19:09,359 Speaker 1: wonderful job they've done. More importantly, I want to congratulate 298 00:19:09,400 --> 00:19:13,440 Speaker 1: the great American patriots who flew magnificent machines tonight in 299 00:19:13,480 --> 00:19:16,720 Speaker 1: all of the United States military on an operation the 300 00:19:16,800 --> 00:19:18,800 Speaker 1: likes of which the world has not seen in many, 301 00:19:18,840 --> 00:19:22,080 Speaker 1: many decades. He's correct on that hopefully we'll no longer 302 00:19:22,119 --> 00:19:25,879 Speaker 1: need their services in this capacity. I hope. So I 303 00:19:25,920 --> 00:19:28,520 Speaker 1: also want to congratulate the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs, 304 00:19:29,200 --> 00:19:35,240 Speaker 1: And he said you know what ac what spectacular, brilliant 305 00:19:35,280 --> 00:19:39,240 Speaker 1: military minds were involved in this operation. And he said, 306 00:19:39,440 --> 00:19:43,080 Speaker 1: this simply cannot continue. There will either be peace or 307 00:19:43,119 --> 00:19:46,080 Speaker 1: there will be tragedy for Iran, far greater than we 308 00:19:46,119 --> 00:19:49,520 Speaker 1: have witnessed over the last eight days. And he said, remember, 309 00:19:49,520 --> 00:19:53,040 Speaker 1: there are many targets left. Tonight's was the most difficult 310 00:19:53,119 --> 00:19:56,520 Speaker 1: of them by of them all by far, and perhaps 311 00:19:56,520 --> 00:20:00,000 Speaker 1: the most lethal. But if peace does not come quickly, 312 00:20:00,720 --> 00:20:05,280 Speaker 1: we will go after those other targets with precision, speed 313 00:20:05,320 --> 00:20:08,600 Speaker 1: and skill. Most of them can be taken out in 314 00:20:08,680 --> 00:20:11,720 Speaker 1: a matter of minutes. There's no military in the world 315 00:20:11,720 --> 00:20:14,359 Speaker 1: that could have done what we did tonight, not even close. 316 00:20:14,960 --> 00:20:18,320 Speaker 1: There's never been a military that can do what took 317 00:20:18,400 --> 00:20:21,680 Speaker 1: place just a little while ago and tomorrow. And then 318 00:20:21,720 --> 00:20:25,000 Speaker 1: he talked about General Caine. Then he said, and you know, 319 00:20:25,119 --> 00:20:28,280 Speaker 1: and I want to thank everybody, and he said, in 320 00:20:28,320 --> 00:20:32,280 Speaker 1: particular God, and I just want to say, we love you, God, 321 00:20:32,480 --> 00:20:35,280 Speaker 1: and we love our great military. Please protect them. God 322 00:20:35,320 --> 00:20:38,200 Speaker 1: bless the Middle East, God bless Israel, God bless America. 323 00:20:39,040 --> 00:20:44,119 Speaker 1: Pretty pretty powerful speech by the president by any objective measure, 324 00:20:44,800 --> 00:20:51,680 Speaker 1: from a spectacular military operation. And you know, it's it's 325 00:20:51,720 --> 00:20:54,760 Speaker 1: not the first time. I don't really want to get 326 00:20:54,800 --> 00:20:57,040 Speaker 1: into the whole issue of the War Powers Act and 327 00:20:57,080 --> 00:21:00,000 Speaker 1: the stupidity of it all, but I can go through 328 00:21:00,200 --> 00:21:06,840 Speaker 1: the list, you know, Barack Obama Afghanistan, Iraq, Syria, Libya, Yemen, Somalia, Pakistan, 329 00:21:06,960 --> 00:21:14,240 Speaker 1: George W. Bush Afghanistan, Iraq, Bill Clinton, Iraq, Serbia, Sudan. 330 00:21:14,040 --> 00:21:16,959 Speaker 1: I mean, yeah, hit the aspirin factory that was, you know, 331 00:21:17,400 --> 00:21:23,920 Speaker 1: basically a desert. George H. W. Bush Iraq and Panama, Reagan, Libya, Grenada, 332 00:21:24,400 --> 00:21:29,280 Speaker 1: Jimmy Carter, nothing significant, Gerald Ford, nothing significant. But you 333 00:21:29,320 --> 00:21:33,119 Speaker 1: get into these arguments and they're just legally on just 334 00:21:33,200 --> 00:21:36,440 Speaker 1: on the wrong ground. And of course, predictably the left 335 00:21:36,480 --> 00:21:39,760 Speaker 1: in this country, that was some Democrats, AOC leading the 336 00:21:40,400 --> 00:21:44,560 Speaker 1: leading the lunatics. You know, we've got to impeach him 337 00:21:44,560 --> 00:21:49,200 Speaker 1: over this. What they failed to recognize is that after 338 00:21:49,320 --> 00:21:52,919 Speaker 1: nine to eleven, Congress passed a joint resolution that was 339 00:21:52,960 --> 00:21:58,040 Speaker 1: known as the Authorization of the Use of Military Force Acts, 340 00:21:58,080 --> 00:22:00,400 Speaker 1: a great piece by Greg Jarrett on This will put 341 00:22:00,400 --> 00:22:03,920 Speaker 1: it on Hannity dot com. It granted the president exclusive 342 00:22:04,040 --> 00:22:08,280 Speaker 1: extraordinary powers to target those groups, those nations that he 343 00:22:08,600 --> 00:22:12,760 Speaker 1: determines aided the terrorist attacks or in the case of 344 00:22:12,840 --> 00:22:15,760 Speaker 1: nine to eleven, harbored the perpetrators of nine to eleven. 345 00:22:15,800 --> 00:22:18,320 Speaker 1: The goal was to prevent any future acts of intentional 346 00:22:18,400 --> 00:22:22,560 Speaker 1: terrorism against the US. And one only needs to read 347 00:22:22,600 --> 00:22:25,280 Speaker 1: the nine to eleven Commission report that they were at 348 00:22:25,320 --> 00:22:27,879 Speaker 1: war with us. We weren't at war with them, and 349 00:22:27,960 --> 00:22:31,600 Speaker 1: the government of Tehran actively aided an embedded attack after 350 00:22:31,680 --> 00:22:37,280 Speaker 1: attack after attack against Americans in the region and around 351 00:22:37,320 --> 00:22:41,160 Speaker 1: the world. And remember we have Iranian assassination squads, which 352 00:22:41,240 --> 00:22:44,320 Speaker 1: kind of brings us to you know, the three things 353 00:22:44,359 --> 00:22:48,280 Speaker 1: that the Trump administration was preparing for in the aftermath 354 00:22:48,840 --> 00:22:52,879 Speaker 1: of this planned military operation. One is the Straits of 355 00:22:52,960 --> 00:22:56,200 Speaker 1: Horn moves. The Iranians have moved to close that as 356 00:22:56,240 --> 00:23:00,960 Speaker 1: of now. There is a legitimate fear that they may 357 00:23:01,240 --> 00:23:04,120 Speaker 1: ultimately because their back is against the wall and people 358 00:23:04,160 --> 00:23:07,480 Speaker 1: have become desperate, and at that point, you know, they're 359 00:23:07,520 --> 00:23:10,200 Speaker 1: capable of anything, and they could mine the straits of 360 00:23:10,280 --> 00:23:14,000 Speaker 1: Hormones and disrupt the free flow of oil in the region, 361 00:23:14,040 --> 00:23:16,520 Speaker 1: which is twenty anywhere between twenty and thirty percent of 362 00:23:16,560 --> 00:23:20,199 Speaker 1: the world's oil supply. And another fear was that they 363 00:23:20,240 --> 00:23:23,720 Speaker 1: would go after American bases in the region, including the 364 00:23:23,720 --> 00:23:26,400 Speaker 1: one and Cutter that they went after today. But it 365 00:23:26,440 --> 00:23:29,960 Speaker 1: was again symbolic and apparently had given the Kataris and 366 00:23:30,000 --> 00:23:32,160 Speaker 1: the Americans heads up on all of it, at least 367 00:23:32,160 --> 00:23:34,919 Speaker 1: the New York Times is even reporting not. But you 368 00:23:35,000 --> 00:23:40,639 Speaker 1: can't you can't say that this president has not tried too, 369 00:23:41,560 --> 00:23:45,879 Speaker 1: you know, basically begged them to into a peace agreement 370 00:23:45,960 --> 00:23:48,000 Speaker 1: that would have been in their best interest. They were 371 00:23:48,080 --> 00:23:53,480 Speaker 1: given every opportunity, every opportunity if they wanted it to 372 00:23:53,560 --> 00:23:57,639 Speaker 1: take peace. Now, the third thing that America has to 373 00:23:57,680 --> 00:24:01,560 Speaker 1: worry about and is worried about, and they did, is 374 00:24:02,200 --> 00:24:06,280 Speaker 1: what about these seven hundred unvetted Iranians. And those are 375 00:24:06,359 --> 00:24:08,280 Speaker 1: only the people that we know about. We don't know 376 00:24:08,280 --> 00:24:12,639 Speaker 1: about the godaways that are in the United States. And 377 00:24:12,680 --> 00:24:16,760 Speaker 1: this goes back to the most preventable national security threat ever. 378 00:24:17,400 --> 00:24:20,640 Speaker 1: And I have said for at least the next decade 379 00:24:20,680 --> 00:24:24,080 Speaker 1: and probably longer, we are going to pay a price 380 00:24:24,680 --> 00:24:29,000 Speaker 1: for Joe Biden, Kamala Harris, and Alejandro Majorcus and frankly 381 00:24:29,080 --> 00:24:33,040 Speaker 1: the Democratic Party because they were either lying to us 382 00:24:33,080 --> 00:24:35,760 Speaker 1: along with those three in saying that the border was 383 00:24:35,800 --> 00:24:39,199 Speaker 1: closed and the border was secure, or they were just 384 00:24:39,400 --> 00:24:43,280 Speaker 1: This silence was deafening in light of everybody with their 385 00:24:43,280 --> 00:24:45,520 Speaker 1: own eyes seeing that the borders were wide open. We 386 00:24:45,600 --> 00:24:48,400 Speaker 1: knew that there were people from over two hundred countries, 387 00:24:48,720 --> 00:24:52,919 Speaker 1: including many countries would terroritize coming into this country. But 388 00:24:53,000 --> 00:24:55,959 Speaker 1: we do know that more than seven hundred Iranian nationals 389 00:24:57,280 --> 00:25:00,880 Speaker 1: that illegally entered this country thanks to to Joe Biden's 390 00:25:00,880 --> 00:25:06,200 Speaker 1: open borders, according to data the Center Square obtained Sunday 391 00:25:06,240 --> 00:25:09,359 Speaker 1: from a Border Patrol agent. So Border Patrol is putting 392 00:25:09,560 --> 00:25:13,200 Speaker 1: these numbers out, and that includes forty eight Iranian illegal 393 00:25:13,240 --> 00:25:18,119 Speaker 1: border crosses crossers apprehended in twenty one, one hundred and 394 00:25:18,160 --> 00:25:20,600 Speaker 1: ninety seven and twenty two, four hundred and sixty two 395 00:25:20,640 --> 00:25:23,120 Speaker 1: apprehended in twenty three, and seven hundred and ninety seven 396 00:25:23,160 --> 00:25:26,959 Speaker 1: apprehended in twenty four and at least seven hundred and 397 00:25:27,000 --> 00:25:30,639 Speaker 1: twenty nine Iranians that they knew were from Iran entering 398 00:25:30,640 --> 00:25:33,400 Speaker 1: our country illegally were allowed to stay in under Joe 399 00:25:33,400 --> 00:25:37,800 Speaker 1: Biden's policies. I mean, under the Biden administration, the greatest 400 00:25:37,880 --> 00:25:42,000 Speaker 1: number of known or suspected terrorists were apprehended in US history. 401 00:25:42,560 --> 00:25:45,320 Speaker 1: That number is estimated to be about two thousand that 402 00:25:45,400 --> 00:25:48,520 Speaker 1: we know of, but it's probably many, many more. That's 403 00:25:48,560 --> 00:25:51,800 Speaker 1: why I've been saying over and over again. Yeah, it's 404 00:25:51,800 --> 00:25:54,200 Speaker 1: probably not a matter of if, it's probably a matter 405 00:25:54,240 --> 00:25:56,240 Speaker 1: of when. But I pray to God that I'm wrong, 406 00:25:56,800 --> 00:25:58,880 Speaker 1: that we're going to wake up one day and all 407 00:25:58,880 --> 00:26:01,879 Speaker 1: these people that are here that have terroritized that what 408 00:26:01,960 --> 00:26:05,520 Speaker 1: are they doing here? They're plotting, They're planning, their scheming 409 00:26:05,720 --> 00:26:09,560 Speaker 1: another nine to eleven or something, perhaps even worse worse 410 00:26:09,600 --> 00:26:14,520 Speaker 1: than that. US officials. The Iranian retaliation against US troops, 411 00:26:14,600 --> 00:26:18,000 Speaker 1: you know, they have been unnotice now for some time. 412 00:26:18,200 --> 00:26:20,760 Speaker 1: But if you look at our military presidence in the region, 413 00:26:20,800 --> 00:26:24,359 Speaker 1: we are more than prepared. And that's why, you know, 414 00:26:24,400 --> 00:26:26,840 Speaker 1: even the New York Times is saying that this Iranian 415 00:26:27,520 --> 00:26:32,160 Speaker 1: and Iranian officials are acknowledging quietly and trying to make 416 00:26:32,200 --> 00:26:34,840 Speaker 1: sure and giving the heads up to the Gataris about 417 00:26:34,960 --> 00:26:37,760 Speaker 1: the six missiles that they fired, and that's all for 418 00:26:37,800 --> 00:26:40,600 Speaker 1: propaganda purposes, so they can go back to the population. 419 00:26:40,720 --> 00:26:44,600 Speaker 1: We devastated the American air base and cutter in response 420 00:26:44,640 --> 00:26:48,679 Speaker 1: to their attack against us. You know, one very weird, 421 00:26:48,800 --> 00:26:53,960 Speaker 1: bizarre issue you have. Russia's former president said yesterday that 422 00:26:54,080 --> 00:26:58,720 Speaker 1: multiple countries are poised to provide a ram with nuclear warheads. Really, 423 00:26:59,480 --> 00:27:03,200 Speaker 1: a number of countries are ready to directly supply Iran 424 00:27:03,640 --> 00:27:09,000 Speaker 1: with their own nuclear warheads. This is Dmitri Medveved Medvedev, 425 00:27:09,119 --> 00:27:13,000 Speaker 1: remember him. Medvedev did not list the countries that might 426 00:27:13,040 --> 00:27:16,919 Speaker 1: pitch in. I can't think of many of them. Donald 427 00:27:16,960 --> 00:27:20,240 Speaker 1: Trump responded to that today and he said, did I 428 00:27:20,320 --> 00:27:25,439 Speaker 1: hear that the former president Medvedev from Russia casually throwing 429 00:27:25,520 --> 00:27:28,879 Speaker 1: around the N word nuclear? He's used that in a 430 00:27:28,960 --> 00:27:31,160 Speaker 1: number of press conferences and saying that he and other 431 00:27:31,240 --> 00:27:35,400 Speaker 1: countries would supply nuclear warheads to Iran. Did he really 432 00:27:35,440 --> 00:27:37,760 Speaker 1: say that or not? Or is that just the figment 433 00:27:37,800 --> 00:27:40,719 Speaker 1: of my imagination? Because if he did say that, and 434 00:27:40,760 --> 00:27:45,440 Speaker 1: if confirmed, please let me know immediately, because you know 435 00:27:45,560 --> 00:27:48,600 Speaker 1: that word should not be treated so casually. I guess 436 00:27:48,600 --> 00:27:51,679 Speaker 1: that's why Putin's the boss. And by the way, if 437 00:27:51,720 --> 00:27:54,880 Speaker 1: anyone thinks that our hardware was great over the weekend, 438 00:27:55,040 --> 00:27:57,560 Speaker 1: far and away, the strongest and best equipment we have 439 00:27:58,160 --> 00:28:02,280 Speaker 1: twenty years advanced over the pack is our nuclear submarines. 440 00:28:02,520 --> 00:28:06,520 Speaker 1: They have the most powerful lethal weapons ever built, and 441 00:28:06,600 --> 00:28:10,320 Speaker 1: we just launched thirty Tomahawks all thirty hit their mark perfectly. 442 00:28:11,040 --> 00:28:13,720 Speaker 1: So in addition to our great fighter pilots, thank you, 443 00:28:13,720 --> 00:28:17,120 Speaker 1: you know, to the captain and crew, but and presidents 444 00:28:17,119 --> 00:28:20,080 Speaker 1: from kind of taunting Iran taking the bomb right out 445 00:28:20,080 --> 00:28:23,560 Speaker 1: of their hands as it's revealed the attack was launched, 446 00:28:24,080 --> 00:28:27,320 Speaker 1: you know, when the Ayatola was snubbing a personal offer 447 00:28:27,400 --> 00:28:30,439 Speaker 1: directly from the President. I mean, this goes to the 448 00:28:30,480 --> 00:28:33,080 Speaker 1: heart of what was going on behind the scenes here, 449 00:28:33,119 --> 00:28:37,800 Speaker 1: the amount of deception, the absolute power and might of 450 00:28:37,840 --> 00:28:43,440 Speaker 1: the US military, the incredible intelligence of our intelligence community, 451 00:28:44,560 --> 00:28:50,000 Speaker 1: the precision, the perfection of a military operation this complicated, 452 00:28:50,040 --> 00:28:54,720 Speaker 1: how they've remained undetected, how they sent decoys you know, 453 00:28:54,840 --> 00:28:59,640 Speaker 1: all over the place, and the Iranians actually believed that 454 00:28:59,680 --> 00:29:03,080 Speaker 1: there were planes in the sky that didn't exist, according 455 00:29:03,120 --> 00:29:06,280 Speaker 1: to my sources. I mean, that is a powerful statement 456 00:29:08,080 --> 00:29:12,080 Speaker 1: by the President, and so I think that the President's 457 00:29:12,480 --> 00:29:15,800 Speaker 1: plan thankfully worked, you know. But it goes back to 458 00:29:15,840 --> 00:29:19,040 Speaker 1: the fundamental questions we were raising last week when we 459 00:29:19,040 --> 00:29:23,120 Speaker 1: were even discussing the possibility of some involvement here. And 460 00:29:23,320 --> 00:29:27,000 Speaker 1: I know that I really don't mind people that are 461 00:29:27,120 --> 00:29:30,320 Speaker 1: risk averse. I don't even mind people that have different 462 00:29:30,360 --> 00:29:35,120 Speaker 1: points of view. What I don't understand is is people 463 00:29:35,160 --> 00:29:41,360 Speaker 1: that don't even want to comprehend the common sense argument, 464 00:29:41,400 --> 00:29:44,320 Speaker 1: which is, let's see, the number one state sponsor of terror. 465 00:29:45,120 --> 00:29:50,360 Speaker 1: They have been solely responsible for killing, however, many hundreds 466 00:29:50,480 --> 00:29:53,120 Speaker 1: or thousands of Americans in the region over the years. 467 00:29:53,560 --> 00:29:57,080 Speaker 1: The Forever War started in nineteen seventy nine against US, 468 00:29:57,120 --> 00:30:00,320 Speaker 1: and they have kept it up. They have fired, you know, 469 00:30:00,440 --> 00:30:04,160 Speaker 1: either directly or through their proxies, over one hundred thousand 470 00:30:04,200 --> 00:30:07,040 Speaker 1: missiles into Israel. I've been a one town that was 471 00:30:07,080 --> 00:30:10,200 Speaker 1: hit with ten thousand missiles, and there's only so much 472 00:30:10,240 --> 00:30:13,200 Speaker 1: that can happen. Now. I am hoping on the other 473 00:30:13,280 --> 00:30:15,280 Speaker 1: side of this that there can be some good that 474 00:30:15,320 --> 00:30:18,360 Speaker 1: comes of this. I do believe there has to be 475 00:30:18,400 --> 00:30:21,960 Speaker 1: a new Israeli doctrine at the end of all of this, 476 00:30:22,760 --> 00:30:26,920 Speaker 1: that anybody that fires a single rocket into Israel, their 477 00:30:26,960 --> 00:30:31,320 Speaker 1: new policy will be to obliterate them immediately. They have 478 00:30:31,800 --> 00:30:35,920 Speaker 1: shown too much concern for human life, and their population 479 00:30:36,080 --> 00:30:40,520 Speaker 1: too often is living in bunkers, you know, and knowing 480 00:30:40,560 --> 00:30:44,240 Speaker 1: that they care about humanity, you have Hamas's Ballah and 481 00:30:44,320 --> 00:30:46,600 Speaker 1: so on and so forth. They would use schools and 482 00:30:47,040 --> 00:30:50,160 Speaker 1: hospitals as their launching areas, knowing the Israelis would not 483 00:30:50,200 --> 00:30:53,560 Speaker 1: fight back. I don't think that can be their policy 484 00:30:53,560 --> 00:30:58,440 Speaker 1: any longer. They have got to immediately respond and respond 485 00:30:58,600 --> 00:31:04,080 Speaker 1: overwhelming with devastat or this pattern will just continue to 486 00:31:04,120 --> 00:31:06,920 Speaker 1: play out. But for those that didn't see the wisdom 487 00:31:06,920 --> 00:31:09,720 Speaker 1: in taking out the number one state sponsor of terrors 488 00:31:09,880 --> 00:31:15,160 Speaker 1: nuclear facilities, the entire world, not just the region would 489 00:31:15,200 --> 00:31:18,680 Speaker 1: be at risk, including the United States, because their missile 490 00:31:18,720 --> 00:31:22,080 Speaker 1: capability keeps getting stronger and stronger. Remember, they have two 491 00:31:22,080 --> 00:31:25,160 Speaker 1: thousand pound ballistic missiles that were about to become four 492 00:31:25,200 --> 00:31:28,200 Speaker 1: thousand pound ballistic missiles. How much time are you going 493 00:31:28,240 --> 00:31:31,120 Speaker 1: to allow them to build out their technology before you 494 00:31:31,200 --> 00:31:33,880 Speaker 1: really see the wisdom and stepping in ahead of time.
