You 5 00:00:09,960 --> 00:00:12,000 Speaker 1: know it's not a joke. I mean, it was kind 6 00:00:12,000 --> 00:00:16,160 Speaker 1: of funny when the US hockey gold medal winning hockey 7 00:00:16,160 --> 00:00:18,959 Speaker 1: team was called out by the President during the State 8 00:00:19,000 --> 00:00:21,560 Speaker 1: of the Union and the President goes, oh, for the 9 00:00:21,560 --> 00:00:23,759 Speaker 1: first time, they actually stood, but not all of them. 10 00:00:23,920 --> 00:00:25,160 Speaker 2: I mean that was funny. 11 00:00:25,600 --> 00:00:28,000 Speaker 1: Or when they stood when he said that you can't 12 00:00:28,040 --> 00:00:32,000 Speaker 1: have insider trading, and he asked, well, is Nancy Pelosi's 13 00:00:32,000 --> 00:00:35,960 Speaker 1: staying It was all pretty funny. If Donald Trump cured cancer, 14 00:00:36,960 --> 00:00:40,040 Speaker 1: I don't think Democrats would stand as they sat on 15 00:00:40,080 --> 00:00:44,320 Speaker 1: their hands, as as so many great Americans and families 16 00:00:44,360 --> 00:00:47,919 Speaker 1: that had lost loved ones because of illegal immigrants were honored. 17 00:00:48,400 --> 00:00:51,839 Speaker 1: They didn't care. They just had Donald Trump to that level. 18 00:00:52,440 --> 00:00:55,000 Speaker 1: And this is a great thing that has happened. The 19 00:00:55,000 --> 00:00:59,120 Speaker 1: world is a better, safer place as a result. And yeah, 20 00:00:59,160 --> 00:01:00,959 Speaker 1: there's still more to do. I don't want to get 21 00:01:00,960 --> 00:01:04,440 Speaker 1: ahead of ourselves. And I think now that you know, 22 00:01:04,480 --> 00:01:06,560 Speaker 1: as soon as we can possibly turn it over to 23 00:01:06,600 --> 00:01:10,160 Speaker 1: the Iranian people, the better it's going to be. But then, 24 00:01:10,200 --> 00:01:13,560 Speaker 1: of course you have the congenital liar and people like him, 25 00:01:13,840 --> 00:01:14,959 Speaker 1: you know, Adam Schiff. 26 00:01:15,480 --> 00:01:17,920 Speaker 2: Oh, they pose no imminent threat to the US. 27 00:01:18,080 --> 00:01:20,720 Speaker 1: This was an existential threat not just to the region 28 00:01:20,720 --> 00:01:23,520 Speaker 1: but to the entire world, which is why every Arab 29 00:01:23,600 --> 00:01:26,360 Speaker 1: country in the world, you know, in the region has 30 00:01:26,520 --> 00:01:29,000 Speaker 1: has had it with them. They've they've all aligned with 31 00:01:29,080 --> 00:01:33,039 Speaker 1: the US and Israel against Iranian hegemony and a nuclear 32 00:01:33,120 --> 00:01:37,039 Speaker 1: armed Iran. Anyway, here's the congenital liar, Adam Schiff in. 33 00:01:37,120 --> 00:01:40,240 Speaker 3: Ayatoa how many letter regime that brutalize its own people, 34 00:01:40,400 --> 00:01:43,919 Speaker 3: wash attacks around the world for for almost forty years. 35 00:01:44,200 --> 00:01:45,720 Speaker 4: So is the president right to take him out? 36 00:01:46,560 --> 00:01:48,960 Speaker 3: No, you're right about the I told that he was 37 00:01:49,000 --> 00:01:52,800 Speaker 3: a brutal dictator. This is a murderous regime, but at 38 00:01:52,800 --> 00:01:55,440 Speaker 3: the same time, it posed no imminent threat of attack 39 00:01:55,520 --> 00:01:56,640 Speaker 3: to the United States. 40 00:01:56,960 --> 00:01:59,760 Speaker 1: He word no imminent threat you mean in the next hour. 41 00:02:00,200 --> 00:02:04,200 Speaker 1: I mean, it's just so asinine. And this is where 42 00:02:04,240 --> 00:02:08,359 Speaker 1: the great disappointment with Great Britain and Europe in general, 43 00:02:08,440 --> 00:02:14,120 Speaker 1: and Spain and France and Macron. I mean, they've given 44 00:02:14,200 --> 00:02:18,519 Speaker 1: up any commitment towards their own identities. They won't even 45 00:02:18,560 --> 00:02:22,240 Speaker 1: protect their own continent, their own countries. They have neglected 46 00:02:22,400 --> 00:02:26,720 Speaker 1: national security and defense. They've embraced climate alarmism to a 47 00:02:26,760 --> 00:02:31,200 Speaker 1: point where they're bankrupting themselves. They've embraced socialist policies that 48 00:02:31,240 --> 00:02:35,279 Speaker 1: are killing their economy, and then they have this unfettered 49 00:02:35,560 --> 00:02:42,160 Speaker 1: illegal immigration without assimilation, resulting in eighty five sureia courts 50 00:02:42,200 --> 00:02:47,240 Speaker 1: in Great Britain. This is a prescription for disaster and 51 00:02:47,320 --> 00:02:50,640 Speaker 1: it will be of their own making. It's as bad 52 00:02:50,680 --> 00:02:54,359 Speaker 1: as everything Biden, Harris may Orchis did. And no go 53 00:02:54,639 --> 00:02:58,639 Speaker 1: zones in countries within Europe. That's crazy too. It's only 54 00:02:58,680 --> 00:03:01,840 Speaker 1: one Democrat. You'll be all with those again tonight. John 55 00:03:01,880 --> 00:03:06,040 Speaker 1: Fetterman of Pennsylvania, who's been very outspoken saying that this 56 00:03:06,639 --> 00:03:09,160 Speaker 1: needed to be done. Here's what he said Sunday. 57 00:03:09,760 --> 00:03:10,520 Speaker 2: Well, because that was. 58 00:03:10,520 --> 00:03:13,280 Speaker 5: Always the right thing. I mean, you can just put out, 59 00:03:13,440 --> 00:03:16,560 Speaker 5: you know, tweets and statements you know, to support peace, 60 00:03:16,880 --> 00:03:19,320 Speaker 5: but to actually create real peace you have to do 61 00:03:19,400 --> 00:03:23,240 Speaker 5: these kinds of actions just like happened, just like last 62 00:03:23,320 --> 00:03:27,320 Speaker 5: year too, when they to destroy their nuclear facilities. You know, 63 00:03:27,400 --> 00:03:31,680 Speaker 5: sometimes peace is possible after these kinds of steps, and 64 00:03:31,720 --> 00:03:34,400 Speaker 5: that's why I support those things. And you know, I 65 00:03:34,480 --> 00:03:38,360 Speaker 5: listened to my colleague from South Carolina earlier and I 66 00:03:38,520 --> 00:03:41,400 Speaker 5: even had the option, I mean to talk to him 67 00:03:41,480 --> 00:03:44,440 Speaker 5: before the State of the Union speech, and I encouraged 68 00:03:44,480 --> 00:03:47,440 Speaker 5: it as well. And so I fully support these kinds 69 00:03:47,440 --> 00:03:50,720 Speaker 5: of things. And I'm proud to stand with our military 70 00:03:50,800 --> 00:03:54,080 Speaker 5: and Israel through this. And that's what's the right thing. 71 00:03:54,640 --> 00:03:54,800 Speaker 6: Now. 72 00:03:54,880 --> 00:03:58,680 Speaker 1: Linda lives in Pennsylvania, I'm sure you'd vote for John federerman, 73 00:03:58,760 --> 00:03:59,200 Speaker 1: Am I wrong? 74 00:03:59,720 --> 00:04:03,200 Speaker 2: No, He's better than most of the Republicans. It really is. 75 00:04:04,000 --> 00:04:04,840 Speaker 2: Let me play for you. 76 00:04:05,080 --> 00:04:11,720 Speaker 1: Mauj Madara, co founder of the Iranian dispor Collective and 77 00:04:12,200 --> 00:04:18,000 Speaker 1: a Democrat, saying she's disappointed with the Democratic Party over 78 00:04:18,040 --> 00:04:20,920 Speaker 1: their response to these Iranian strikes. They need to get 79 00:04:20,960 --> 00:04:22,760 Speaker 1: past their hatred of Donald Trump. 80 00:04:23,279 --> 00:04:23,640 Speaker 2: Listen. 81 00:04:24,200 --> 00:04:26,720 Speaker 7: I think that it is imperative the Democratic Party wake 82 00:04:26,839 --> 00:04:29,560 Speaker 7: up and get past their dislike of Donald Trump, the 83 00:04:29,600 --> 00:04:34,280 Speaker 7: President Trump, and their feelings of international conflicts going on. 84 00:04:34,360 --> 00:04:37,520 Speaker 7: This is about national security. This is about what is 85 00:04:37,560 --> 00:04:40,120 Speaker 7: possible in the Middle East. This is about being a 86 00:04:39,560 --> 00:04:42,440 Speaker 7: good partner to our the Gulf States and what their 87 00:04:42,480 --> 00:04:46,320 Speaker 7: aspirations are. This is about supporting the people of Venezuela. 88 00:04:46,400 --> 00:04:50,760 Speaker 7: This is about dismembering our relationship with or not dismembering, 89 00:04:50,760 --> 00:04:53,680 Speaker 7: but resetting our relationship with China. Right now, fifty five 90 00:04:53,720 --> 00:04:57,320 Speaker 7: percent of the oil production that Uran produces goes to 91 00:04:57,400 --> 00:05:00,919 Speaker 7: China despite sanctions. You want to support the people of Ukraine, 92 00:05:00,960 --> 00:05:03,000 Speaker 7: you want to end that word, you have to. There 93 00:05:03,040 --> 00:05:05,839 Speaker 7: is no getting around dismembering this Islamic Republic. It is 94 00:05:05,880 --> 00:05:08,560 Speaker 7: non negotiable. It is not a want to have, it 95 00:05:08,560 --> 00:05:10,240 Speaker 7: does a have to have. And it's not just for 96 00:05:10,279 --> 00:05:12,560 Speaker 7: the Iranian people. I think you have to trust the 97 00:05:12,640 --> 00:05:13,279 Speaker 7: Iranian people. 98 00:05:13,279 --> 00:05:13,760 Speaker 6: We know this. 99 00:05:13,760 --> 00:05:15,920 Speaker 7: Government better than anyone else, and I think at this 100 00:05:16,000 --> 00:05:18,279 Speaker 7: point we have a tremendous opportunity. This will be like 101 00:05:18,400 --> 00:05:21,159 Speaker 7: ending the Soviet Union, the Berlin Wall. This is a 102 00:05:21,200 --> 00:05:25,280 Speaker 7: transformational moment for humankind, for security and as an American, 103 00:05:25,480 --> 00:05:28,599 Speaker 7: As an American, this is in our interest. 104 00:05:28,640 --> 00:05:29,200 Speaker 2: It complete it. 105 00:05:29,240 --> 00:05:29,320 Speaker 6: So. 106 00:05:29,680 --> 00:05:32,800 Speaker 7: I am a democrat. I have been a huge democrat. 107 00:05:33,040 --> 00:05:36,279 Speaker 7: I am incredibly disappointed with my party. I do not 108 00:05:36,440 --> 00:05:38,000 Speaker 7: see myself in them in this moment. 109 00:05:38,600 --> 00:05:41,200 Speaker 1: We're going to be joined in a moment by Greg Roman, 110 00:05:41,320 --> 00:05:45,240 Speaker 1: Executive Director of the Middle East forum with his comments 111 00:05:45,320 --> 00:05:49,480 Speaker 1: takeaways from the developments related to the Mid East following 112 00:05:49,520 --> 00:05:53,839 Speaker 1: these strikes, successful strikes and of course the Supreme Leader 113 00:05:54,160 --> 00:05:59,239 Speaker 1: and Ali Hamani dead, forty others dead with the opening 114 00:05:59,320 --> 00:06:03,320 Speaker 1: salvo and what was just unbelievable. I mean, you talk 115 00:06:03,360 --> 00:06:06,960 Speaker 1: about shock awe on steroids and human growth hormone. 116 00:06:06,600 --> 00:06:07,160 Speaker 2: This was it. 117 00:06:08,279 --> 00:06:12,479 Speaker 1: But anyway, they have pointed out that with all of this, 118 00:06:12,680 --> 00:06:16,120 Speaker 1: the joint US is rarely strikes hitting over you know, 119 00:06:16,560 --> 00:06:19,120 Speaker 1: five hundred targets I guess getting closer to one thousand 120 00:06:19,200 --> 00:06:22,880 Speaker 1: at this point against across twenty four of Iran's thirty 121 00:06:22,920 --> 00:06:29,520 Speaker 1: one provinces. Approximately forty senior military intelligence officials have been killed. 122 00:06:29,560 --> 00:06:33,040 Speaker 1: And you know Iran, you know, with all their retaliation, 123 00:06:33,200 --> 00:06:36,280 Speaker 1: they just seem to be shooting haphazardly at every country 124 00:06:36,279 --> 00:06:39,760 Speaker 1: in the region. Greg Roman, let's get your thoughts on 125 00:06:39,839 --> 00:06:41,880 Speaker 1: where we are and what will it take for the 126 00:06:41,920 --> 00:06:45,200 Speaker 1: Iranian people to do what President Trump has told them 127 00:06:45,200 --> 00:06:48,320 Speaker 1: to do, which is, you know, that take advantage of 128 00:06:48,320 --> 00:06:51,279 Speaker 1: the fact that their hour hand is here and they've 129 00:06:51,279 --> 00:06:53,839 Speaker 1: asked been asking for this help, that they need to 130 00:06:53,880 --> 00:06:57,440 Speaker 1: sieze this moment. Don't let it pass. It's likely the 131 00:06:57,520 --> 00:07:01,440 Speaker 1: one shot they'll have for generations and you know what 132 00:07:01,600 --> 00:07:02,320 Speaker 1: happens next. 133 00:07:03,000 --> 00:07:05,159 Speaker 6: Well, thank you Sean for having me on air. And 134 00:07:05,200 --> 00:07:07,800 Speaker 6: I think right now we're at the point where the 135 00:07:07,920 --> 00:07:12,320 Speaker 6: current regime, the Islamist Islamic Republic of Iran regime, is 136 00:07:12,400 --> 00:07:15,920 Speaker 6: trying to create trip wires for members of the Iranian 137 00:07:15,960 --> 00:07:20,680 Speaker 6: opposition inside the country, in neighboring countries and more especially 138 00:07:20,720 --> 00:07:24,560 Speaker 6: in the diaspora to try to accept the FATA company 139 00:07:24,600 --> 00:07:27,480 Speaker 6: where they will have to tie their fate to the 140 00:07:27,480 --> 00:07:30,239 Speaker 6: future of the American and Israeli and now Gulf Arab 141 00:07:30,320 --> 00:07:34,320 Speaker 6: campaign in Iran. But the long play is to make 142 00:07:34,360 --> 00:07:38,160 Speaker 6: sure that the American national security architecture and the Israeli 143 00:07:38,240 --> 00:07:42,760 Speaker 6: bombers and increasingly now we have Arab air forces which 144 00:07:42,800 --> 00:07:47,360 Speaker 6: are engaging in skirmishes against the Iranian air force, with 145 00:07:47,520 --> 00:07:51,640 Speaker 6: reports of Katari Air Force su twenty force Suko A 146 00:07:51,680 --> 00:07:55,040 Speaker 6: twenty fours being taken out or taking out Irani and 147 00:07:55,040 --> 00:07:58,480 Speaker 6: Suko twenty fours, where the Iranian opposition is to realize 148 00:07:59,000 --> 00:08:02,440 Speaker 6: it's make or break to get their act together and 149 00:08:02,520 --> 00:08:06,560 Speaker 6: not to be entirely reliant on the US and Israel 150 00:08:06,840 --> 00:08:09,400 Speaker 6: to push the Iranian regime off the cliffs they have 151 00:08:09,480 --> 00:08:12,160 Speaker 6: to push too. And if they don't get into that 152 00:08:12,800 --> 00:08:17,440 Speaker 6: position of regime disruption, of setting up forward operating bases, 153 00:08:17,760 --> 00:08:21,600 Speaker 6: of enabling these one hundred thousand individuals who allegedly have 154 00:08:22,120 --> 00:08:25,760 Speaker 6: prepared to defect from the IRGC, from the arteesche the 155 00:08:25,760 --> 00:08:28,040 Speaker 6: Iranian Army, then I think this is going to be 156 00:08:28,080 --> 00:08:31,360 Speaker 6: an opportunity that they will blow. But if they do 157 00:08:31,440 --> 00:08:34,600 Speaker 6: the right moves, if they don't repeat an Ahmed Chalabi moment, 158 00:08:34,640 --> 00:08:37,160 Speaker 6: they don't repeat a Hamid Karzai moment, they will repeat 159 00:08:37,200 --> 00:08:40,400 Speaker 6: Khadafi downfall moment. There is a narrow window for them 160 00:08:40,559 --> 00:08:43,720 Speaker 6: to have a controlled implosion where the state does not 161 00:08:43,840 --> 00:08:46,840 Speaker 6: go into chaos, but they are able to maintain a 162 00:08:46,920 --> 00:08:50,520 Speaker 6: pooralistic transition to power, where we take President Trump's offer 163 00:08:50,600 --> 00:08:54,280 Speaker 6: of amnesty and truth and reconciliation and we move Iran 164 00:08:54,600 --> 00:08:57,240 Speaker 6: from being on the Chinese Russian side of the board 165 00:08:57,440 --> 00:08:59,880 Speaker 6: and at the bare minimum move them to initial act. 166 00:09:00,240 --> 00:09:01,920 Speaker 6: And there's a big opportunity for that. Right now. 167 00:09:02,320 --> 00:09:05,160 Speaker 1: Roman is with us. He is the executive director of 168 00:09:05,200 --> 00:09:08,599 Speaker 1: the Middle East Forum. What's next for Iran is our discussion. 169 00:09:08,960 --> 00:09:12,679 Speaker 1: Explain in more detail what you're envisioning happens here. I mean, 170 00:09:13,080 --> 00:09:17,240 Speaker 1: I know you have disparate groups, and Raisa Pavlavi is 171 00:09:17,320 --> 00:09:21,960 Speaker 1: one group. Earlier in the program we had on Ali 172 00:09:22,000 --> 00:09:25,280 Speaker 1: sofo v of a member of Iran's parliament and exile 173 00:09:25,400 --> 00:09:30,120 Speaker 1: National Council of Resistance of Iran not particularly fond of 174 00:09:30,240 --> 00:09:33,319 Speaker 1: pub LAB. I mean, the last thing we need is 175 00:09:33,360 --> 00:09:36,199 Speaker 1: an intramural squabble when everyone needs to pull in the 176 00:09:36,240 --> 00:09:39,800 Speaker 1: same direction and really give the people of Iran the choice. Again, 177 00:09:39,840 --> 00:09:42,640 Speaker 1: as the President said, they likely won't get back. You know, 178 00:09:42,760 --> 00:09:45,040 Speaker 1: this is once in a generation chance for. 179 00:09:45,000 --> 00:09:47,480 Speaker 6: Them, right, And I think that sometimes you end up 180 00:09:47,480 --> 00:09:50,679 Speaker 6: having more disagreements with members of the Iranian opposition than 181 00:09:50,679 --> 00:09:53,360 Speaker 6: you do with my synagogue board of directors. But that's 182 00:09:53,360 --> 00:09:54,480 Speaker 6: the story for another time. 183 00:09:56,000 --> 00:09:58,679 Speaker 1: You have how bad are things that your synagogue board 184 00:09:58,679 --> 00:09:59,400 Speaker 1: of directors? 185 00:10:00,720 --> 00:10:03,160 Speaker 6: Well, you know, you say two Jews, three opinions, you 186 00:10:03,200 --> 00:10:07,679 Speaker 6: have two versions, twenty one opinions. But you end up 187 00:10:07,679 --> 00:10:11,840 Speaker 6: going to a position where right now the MEK and 188 00:10:12,040 --> 00:10:15,360 Speaker 6: the Polavi camp have sort of you know, coalaced around 189 00:10:15,400 --> 00:10:19,520 Speaker 6: two figures, right, two individuals who are personalities. But personalities 190 00:10:19,559 --> 00:10:22,480 Speaker 6: don't represent movements. If you look at groups like the 191 00:10:22,480 --> 00:10:25,760 Speaker 6: Iranian Freedom Congress, which got together in London last week. 192 00:10:26,200 --> 00:10:29,600 Speaker 6: You take the broad cross section of Iranian society, both 193 00:10:29,640 --> 00:10:33,840 Speaker 6: inside the country and outside, and what the Mek and Pelagi, 194 00:10:33,960 --> 00:10:37,160 Speaker 6: what have you believe is that an exile of five 195 00:10:37,200 --> 00:10:40,680 Speaker 6: million Iranians in the diaspora can speak to and speak 196 00:10:40,720 --> 00:10:43,520 Speaker 6: four ninety two million Iranians who are inside the country. 197 00:10:43,920 --> 00:10:45,480 Speaker 6: But even if you look at all the public opinion 198 00:10:45,480 --> 00:10:48,760 Speaker 6: polls that were done prior to December twenty seventh, when 199 00:10:48,760 --> 00:10:52,520 Speaker 6: the latest round of protests started, the shop probably only 200 00:10:52,559 --> 00:10:56,240 Speaker 6: gets around thirty one percent at a maximum. And if 201 00:10:56,240 --> 00:10:59,960 Speaker 6: you look at the NCRI, the Mek who was represented 202 00:11:00,320 --> 00:11:03,720 Speaker 6: by your speaker in the last hour, they pull around 203 00:11:03,920 --> 00:11:07,240 Speaker 6: point zero two print. So they do not speak for 204 00:11:07,280 --> 00:11:10,319 Speaker 6: the Iranian people inside the country. But this group that 205 00:11:10,400 --> 00:11:13,800 Speaker 6: got together last week were former members of the regime 206 00:11:13,840 --> 00:11:17,679 Speaker 6: who are now in exile, Individuals who represent teachers, Arab 207 00:11:17,720 --> 00:11:21,920 Speaker 6: oil workers, the whole cross section of Azeris and Baluchis 208 00:11:22,280 --> 00:11:26,560 Speaker 6: and Kurds and mainstream Persians and monarchists and Republicans, thirty 209 00:11:26,600 --> 00:11:32,040 Speaker 6: eight different parties representing I would argue about sixty five 210 00:11:32,080 --> 00:11:34,599 Speaker 6: million of those ninety two million Iranians at least that 211 00:11:34,679 --> 00:11:38,960 Speaker 6: have some sort of representation got together in London and 212 00:11:39,000 --> 00:11:42,439 Speaker 6: they all agreed on one thing. Let's put our problems aside, 213 00:11:43,120 --> 00:11:45,720 Speaker 6: make way for the regime to fall, and then we 214 00:11:45,760 --> 00:11:47,760 Speaker 6: can work with what's left to be able to make 215 00:11:47,800 --> 00:11:51,400 Speaker 6: sure that we have traffic police and the airport's running, 216 00:11:51,640 --> 00:11:53,920 Speaker 6: and the water is being served in the dog catchers 217 00:11:53,960 --> 00:11:56,680 Speaker 6: on time, and we're able to reopen up the trade 218 00:11:56,960 --> 00:11:58,600 Speaker 6: for that country. And they have a whole planet they 219 00:11:58,640 --> 00:12:02,319 Speaker 6: put together. But more certainly it's not based on personalities. 220 00:12:02,360 --> 00:12:06,440 Speaker 1: It's representative who's got this plan, who's going to take 221 00:12:06,520 --> 00:12:09,480 Speaker 1: charge of that plan, and how quickly can we get 222 00:12:09,480 --> 00:12:10,240 Speaker 1: to elections. 223 00:12:10,559 --> 00:12:12,720 Speaker 6: So elections they believe would be able to take place 224 00:12:12,720 --> 00:12:15,959 Speaker 6: within six months, and a referendum for a consultative Assembly 225 00:12:15,960 --> 00:12:17,760 Speaker 6: that would then be able to get fourth in one year, 226 00:12:18,120 --> 00:12:20,479 Speaker 6: and they would take the way in which the Iranian 227 00:12:20,559 --> 00:12:23,360 Speaker 6: system works right now and basically adapt that to not 228 00:12:23,400 --> 00:12:26,760 Speaker 6: be Islamis, but they to be democratic. And more than that, 229 00:12:27,120 --> 00:12:30,520 Speaker 6: you already have entities right now that have existed inside 230 00:12:30,520 --> 00:12:33,240 Speaker 6: the country for the past twenty five years that are 231 00:12:33,240 --> 00:12:35,800 Speaker 6: not tied to the regime. If you remember, before the 232 00:12:35,840 --> 00:12:38,640 Speaker 6: Twelve Day War back in June, there was a nationwide 233 00:12:38,679 --> 00:12:41,280 Speaker 6: truck driver's strike that took place in Iran between like 234 00:12:41,360 --> 00:12:44,600 Speaker 6: June first and June seventh. These people are at that table. 235 00:12:44,800 --> 00:12:46,560 Speaker 6: If it looks three years ago with the Women Life 236 00:12:46,559 --> 00:12:49,600 Speaker 6: Freedom movement that were behind Masamini, these people are at 237 00:12:49,600 --> 00:12:53,920 Speaker 6: the table. Three Irani and Nobel laureates, individuals who control 238 00:12:54,120 --> 00:12:58,640 Speaker 6: the Couraged Democratic Party under Hajiri five million, the Komala 239 00:12:58,720 --> 00:13:02,600 Speaker 6: Party another three million under Abdola Matadi. You really have 240 00:13:02,760 --> 00:13:05,280 Speaker 6: a cross section here that would be able to say 241 00:13:05,480 --> 00:13:08,360 Speaker 6: we're not going to try to go in a debatification 242 00:13:08,520 --> 00:13:11,320 Speaker 6: process that ruined e Rock back in two thousand and three. 243 00:13:11,559 --> 00:13:14,120 Speaker 6: We learned our lesson from twenty three years ago, and 244 00:13:14,160 --> 00:13:16,320 Speaker 6: we're going to do this the way that Lexilla says. 245 00:13:16,440 --> 00:13:18,839 Speaker 2: Okay, but Greg, what about the holdovers? 246 00:13:19,000 --> 00:13:22,600 Speaker 1: You know there will be old revolutionary guard that cling 247 00:13:22,720 --> 00:13:25,360 Speaker 1: to the life that they had. How do we weed 248 00:13:25,400 --> 00:13:25,800 Speaker 1: them out? 249 00:13:25,960 --> 00:13:29,280 Speaker 6: Percent? One hundred percent? And I think that, as I 250 00:13:29,320 --> 00:13:32,400 Speaker 6: said beforehand, there has to be a truth and reconciliation 251 00:13:32,559 --> 00:13:36,520 Speaker 6: process where look, if you were found responsible for helping 252 00:13:36,559 --> 00:13:39,880 Speaker 6: massacre thirty forty fifty thousand members of your country, where 253 00:13:39,920 --> 00:13:42,280 Speaker 6: you were involved in hangings in the eighties or massacres 254 00:13:42,320 --> 00:13:44,319 Speaker 6: in the nineties, then you're going to have to own 255 00:13:44,400 --> 00:13:46,320 Speaker 6: up to that. But if you were a bureaucrat, if 256 00:13:46,320 --> 00:13:48,080 Speaker 6: you were the head of the Central Bank, in charge 257 00:13:48,120 --> 00:13:50,480 Speaker 6: of the oil ministry, and you just hitched your cart 258 00:13:50,520 --> 00:13:52,560 Speaker 6: to the Iatolas horse because you had to do that 259 00:13:52,559 --> 00:13:54,800 Speaker 6: to survive, there's also an opportunity to be able to 260 00:13:54,840 --> 00:13:57,160 Speaker 6: solve that as well. And I think that just like 261 00:13:57,240 --> 00:14:00,679 Speaker 6: you had in Eastern European countries after the fall of 262 00:14:00,720 --> 00:14:03,679 Speaker 6: the Wall and reconciliation, even the way that we've looked 263 00:14:03,679 --> 00:14:05,800 Speaker 6: at it with East Germany, you have to own up 264 00:14:05,840 --> 00:14:08,480 Speaker 6: to your mistakes, and if they're too great, you're going 265 00:14:08,559 --> 00:14:11,280 Speaker 6: to be put into jail. But if it was part 266 00:14:11,320 --> 00:14:13,520 Speaker 6: of just the way that the government was governed for 267 00:14:13,520 --> 00:14:16,400 Speaker 6: the last forty seven years, we'll give you an opportunity 268 00:14:16,440 --> 00:14:18,520 Speaker 6: to have respite with us. And if they move in 269 00:14:18,520 --> 00:14:21,160 Speaker 6: that direction, I think you really have the opportunity for 270 00:14:21,280 --> 00:14:24,160 Speaker 6: a easy transition, but it has to be done under 271 00:14:24,160 --> 00:14:27,440 Speaker 6: the threat of American and Israeli superior air power. You're 272 00:14:27,480 --> 00:14:29,680 Speaker 6: either with us or you're against us, but not with 273 00:14:29,720 --> 00:14:32,200 Speaker 6: any American or Israeli boots on the ground. Has to 274 00:14:32,240 --> 00:14:33,400 Speaker 6: be the Iranians making. 275 00:14:33,200 --> 00:14:35,840 Speaker 1: Their own decis it's never going to happen under Donald Trump. 276 00:14:35,880 --> 00:14:39,360 Speaker 1: I'm telling you right now, won't happen. And I think 277 00:14:39,400 --> 00:14:43,120 Speaker 1: that at some point there are hours at hand. They've 278 00:14:43,120 --> 00:14:46,360 Speaker 1: asked for this help. They better seize the moment and 279 00:14:46,400 --> 00:14:49,680 Speaker 1: not let it pass. As the President said, Greg Roman, 280 00:14:49,720 --> 00:14:52,040 Speaker 1: good to talk to you, man. I appreciate it. Great analysis. 281 00:14:52,120 --> 00:14:53,880 Speaker 1: Eight hundred and nine to four one, Sean, if you 282 00:14:53,920 --> 00:14:56,640 Speaker 1: want to be a part of the program, Linda, I 283 00:14:56,640 --> 00:14:58,960 Speaker 1: don't know if you noticed this. Did you notice Hanoi? 284 00:14:59,080 --> 00:15:04,160 Speaker 1: Jane is back? Oh, she's the worst, branding Donald Trump 285 00:15:04,400 --> 00:15:07,920 Speaker 1: a sad, unhinged man while denouncing him for launching deadly 286 00:15:08,000 --> 00:15:12,080 Speaker 1: strikes in Iran. Who cares what she said or any 287 00:15:12,120 --> 00:15:15,280 Speaker 1: of these other idiots? Mark Ruffalo, who are the other 288 00:15:15,360 --> 00:15:17,560 Speaker 1: idiots in Hollywood? 289 00:15:16,640 --> 00:15:19,119 Speaker 2: I mean, if they hadn't. 290 00:15:18,920 --> 00:15:21,240 Speaker 7: A much shorter list to name the ones that aren't, 291 00:15:21,240 --> 00:15:22,560 Speaker 7: to be perfectly frank. 292 00:15:23,480 --> 00:15:26,080 Speaker 2: That's a good way to do it. Good point. 293 00:15:27,680 --> 00:15:27,840 Speaker 6: Now. 294 00:15:27,880 --> 00:15:34,280 Speaker 1: The Pentagon officials earlier today, General raising Kine, this guy's phenomenal, 295 00:15:35,040 --> 00:15:39,800 Speaker 1: just an absolute genius. Secretary of War Pete Hegseeth the 296 00:15:40,000 --> 00:15:43,600 Speaker 1: Pentagon announcing that US force has struck more than a 297 00:15:43,680 --> 00:15:47,800 Speaker 1: thousand targets in Iran. During the first twenty four hours 298 00:15:47,800 --> 00:15:53,840 Speaker 1: of Operation Epic Fury, the joint US Israeli led airstrike 299 00:15:53,920 --> 00:15:58,240 Speaker 1: mission that killed with in its opening salvo, the Supreme 300 00:15:58,320 --> 00:16:04,400 Speaker 1: Leader the the Ayahtola Ali Hamani, and other security officials, 301 00:16:04,800 --> 00:16:07,680 Speaker 1: Air Force General Dan Kaine, chairman of the Joint Chiefs, 302 00:16:07,720 --> 00:16:11,840 Speaker 1: telling reporters at the Pentagon, that the objective of the 303 00:16:11,880 --> 00:16:14,720 Speaker 1: operation was clear to protect US interest in the Middle 304 00:16:14,760 --> 00:16:19,800 Speaker 1: East by ending Iran's ability to project offensive power outside 305 00:16:19,840 --> 00:16:23,280 Speaker 1: of their borders. This marked a culmination of months and 306 00:16:23,320 --> 00:16:27,560 Speaker 1: in some cases years, of deliverer planning refinement against this 307 00:16:27,680 --> 00:16:32,760 Speaker 1: particular target set, from precision strikes against key military infrastructure 308 00:16:33,160 --> 00:16:37,520 Speaker 1: to persistent intelligence and targeting integration. And he, along with 309 00:16:37,520 --> 00:16:41,400 Speaker 1: Pete Hegseth, you know, gave a very very powerful briefing today. 310 00:16:41,440 --> 00:16:43,680 Speaker 1: I think it's worth taking time because I know most 311 00:16:43,720 --> 00:16:45,840 Speaker 1: of you were not up at eight o'clock in the morning. 312 00:16:45,880 --> 00:16:48,120 Speaker 1: If you were, you were shoveling coffee down your throat 313 00:16:48,560 --> 00:16:50,640 Speaker 1: and feeding your kids and trying to get them off 314 00:16:50,640 --> 00:16:54,160 Speaker 1: to school and start your day.

Aircrews began loading their final weapons, and 329 00:17:47,160 --> 00:17:50,080 Speaker 8: two carrier strike groups began to move towards their launching 330 00:17:50,119 --> 00:17:55,120 Speaker 8: points across the globe. Our operation centers came alive in Tampa, Florida, 331 00:17:55,560 --> 00:17:58,119 Speaker 8: here at the Pentagon, and of course forward in the 332 00:17:58,119 --> 00:18:04,919 Speaker 8: Central Command a war. As always, operational security was paramount 333 00:18:05,160 --> 00:18:09,320 Speaker 8: as we sought to maintain and sustain the element of surprise. 334 00:18:10,040 --> 00:18:13,080 Speaker 8: This operation was highly classified, so that at each hour 335 00:18:13,880 --> 00:18:17,840 Speaker 8: the enemy would see one thing speed, surprise, and violence 336 00:18:17,880 --> 00:18:22,240 Speaker 8: of action. The first movers were US Cybercom and US 337 00:18:22,280 --> 00:18:27,000 Speaker 8: Space com layering non kinetic effects disrupting and degrading and 338 00:18:27,040 --> 00:18:33,119 Speaker 8: blinding Iran's ability to see, communicate, and respond.

More than one hundred aircraft launch 343 00:18:51,760 --> 00:18:56,760 Speaker 8: from land, sea fighters, tankers, airborne early warning electronic attack 344 00:18:57,200 --> 00:19:01,520 Speaker 8: bombers from the States, and unmanned platforms, forming a single 345 00:19:01,960 --> 00:19:06,399 Speaker 8: synchronized wave. This was a daylight strike based on a 346 00:19:06,520 --> 00:19:11,199 Speaker 8: trigger event conducted by the Israeli defense forces, enabled by 347 00:19:11,240 --> 00:19:15,280 Speaker 8: the US intelligence community. The first shooters at sea were 348 00:19:15,320 --> 00:19:19,280 Speaker 8: Tomahawks unleashed by the United States Navy, closed in on 349 00:19:19,359 --> 00:19:23,560 Speaker 8: Iranian naval forces and began to conduct strikes across the 350 00:19:23,640 --> 00:19:28,200 Speaker 8: southern flank in Iran. On the ground forces fired precision 351 00:19:28,640 --> 00:19:34,880 Speaker 8: standoff weapons measured deliberate, precise, and lethal. This was a massive, 352 00:19:35,040 --> 00:19:39,679 Speaker 8: overwhelming attack across all domains of warfare, striking more than 353 00:19:39,720 --> 00:19:41,119 Speaker 8: one thousand targets. 354 00:19:40,760 --> 00:19:42,119 Speaker 2: In the first twenty four hours. 355 00:19:43,160 --> 00:19:47,359 Speaker 8: We are now roughly fifty seven hours into the operation. 356 00:19:48,119 --> 00:19:52,760 Speaker 8: In the initial phase. Sentcom's focus was systematic targeting of Iranians, 357 00:19:52,840 --> 00:19:59,040 Speaker 8: command and control infrastructure, naval forces, ballistic missile sites, and 358 00:19:59,119 --> 00:20:04,880 Speaker 8: intelligence in structure designed to daze and confuse them. Coordinated 359 00:20:04,960 --> 00:20:11,359 Speaker 8: space and cyber operations effectively disrupted communications and sensor networks 360 00:20:11,400 --> 00:20:16,080 Speaker 8: across the area of responsibility, leaving the adversary without the 361 00:20:16,160 --> 00:20:21,560 Speaker 8: ability to see, coordinate, or respond effectively. The combined impact 362 00:20:21,560 --> 00:20:25,720 Speaker 8: of these strikes, swift, precise, and overwhelming, has resulted in 363 00:20:25,760 --> 00:20:30,640 Speaker 8: the establishment of local air superiority. This air superiority will 364 00:20:30,680 --> 00:20:34,159 Speaker 8: not only enhance the protection of our forces, but also 365 00:20:34,240 --> 00:20:36,240 Speaker 8: allow them to continue. 366 00:20:35,680 --> 00:20:37,080 Speaker 2: The work over Iran. 367 00:20:38,160 --> 00:20:40,399 Speaker 8: Over the course of the last two days, the Joint 368 00:20:40,440 --> 00:20:44,000 Speaker 8: Force has launched hundreds of missions from land and sea 369 00:20:44,560 --> 00:20:47,800 Speaker 8: and delivered tens of thousands of pieces of ordinance. The 370 00:20:47,880 --> 00:20:53,360 Speaker 8: effort continues to scale. This included American B two bombers, which, 371 00:20:53,400 --> 00:20:56,920 Speaker 8: again similar to Midnight Hammer, flew a thirty seven hour 372 00:20:57,040 --> 00:21:01,560 Speaker 8: round trip SORTI from the continental United States, dropping precision 373 00:21:02,080 --> 00:21:07,880 Speaker 8: penetrating munitions on Iranian underground facilities across the southern flank 374 00:21:08,200 --> 00:21:09,280 Speaker 8: and slightly deeper. 375 00:21:10,480 --> 00:21:15,200 Speaker 4: Today, in their desperation, the enemy is unmasked as Iranian 376 00:21:15,240 --> 00:21:21,920 Speaker 4: missiles and drones rained down indiscriminately on the hotels, airports, apartments, 377 00:21:22,080 --> 00:21:27,159 Speaker 4: and other civilian targets of their neighbors. Cowardly terrorist tactics 378 00:21:28,119 --> 00:21:31,920 Speaker 4: from a regime that for decades has trafficked in cowardly 379 00:21:32,400 --> 00:21:38,439 Speaker 4: terrorist tactics, lies, death and destruction. To this day, the 380 00:21:38,440 --> 00:21:43,080 Speaker 4: Iranian leadership has built nothing except proxies and missiles and 381 00:21:43,160 --> 00:21:48,720 Speaker 4: drones and deeply buried nuclear factories and facilities. Peaceful nuclear 382 00:21:48,760 --> 00:21:55,200 Speaker 4: ambitions do not need to be buried underneath mountains. Last June, 383 00:21:55,240 --> 00:22:01,560 Speaker 4: Operation Midnight Hammer obliterated their nuclear program to rubble. Afterward, 384 00:22:01,640 --> 00:22:03,800 Speaker 4: we told them plainly, that's it. Now make a deal. 385 00:22:04,680 --> 00:22:08,840 Speaker 4: They arrogantly refused. We said, rebuild it, and we'll stop 386 00:22:08,880 --> 00:22:13,400 Speaker 4: you again, this time far worse. Well, President Trump, Secretary Rubio, 387 00:22:13,880 --> 00:22:18,480 Speaker 4: Steve Whitcoff, Jared Kushner. They bent over backwards for real diplomacy, 388 00:22:18,520 --> 00:22:21,719 Speaker 4: offering pathway after pathway to peace. I watched it. 389 00:22:21,800 --> 00:22:22,359 Speaker 2: I was there. 390 00:22:23,119 --> 00:22:27,359 Speaker 4: They tried, over and over and over again, earnest attempts 391 00:22:27,400 --> 00:22:31,720 Speaker 4: at peace. The former regime had every chance to make 392 00:22:31,880 --> 00:22:36,800 Speaker 4: a peaceful and sensible deal, but Taran was not negotiating. 393 00:22:37,560 --> 00:22:41,680 Speaker 4: They were stalling, buying time to reload their missile stockpiles 394 00:22:41,720 --> 00:22:46,440 Speaker 4: and restart their nuclear ambitions. Their goal hold US hostage, 395 00:22:46,880 --> 00:22:51,880 Speaker 4: threatening to strike our forces. Well, President Trump doesn't play 396 00:22:51,920 --> 00:22:56,080 Speaker 4: those games, And as Secretary Rubio said after the Maduro raid, 397 00:22:56,760 --> 00:23:01,000 Speaker 4: if you don't know, now you know. President Trump puts 398 00:23:01,040 --> 00:23:05,919 Speaker 4: America and Americans first. He doesn't hesitate, and neither do 399 00:23:06,119 --> 00:23:10,880 Speaker 4: our troops. The mission of Operation Epic Fury is laser focused. 400 00:23:11,640 --> 00:23:16,159 Speaker 4: Destroy Iranian offensive missiles, destroy Iranian missile production, destroy their 401 00:23:16,280 --> 00:23:19,879 Speaker 4: navy and other security infrastructure, and they will never have 402 00:23:20,240 --> 00:23:27,040 Speaker 4: nuclear weapons. We're hitting them surgically, overwhelmingly, and unapologetically. 403 00:23:27,280 --> 00:23:30,480 Speaker 8: On February twenty eighth, the full strength of America's armed 404 00:23:30,520 --> 00:23:34,800 Speaker 8: forces came together in a unified purpose against a capable 405 00:23:34,840 --> 00:23:40,120 Speaker 8: and determined adversary. The United States Army, Navy, Marine Corps, 406 00:23:40,240 --> 00:23:45,040 Speaker 8: Air Force, Space Force, Coastguard, and our reserve components integrated 407 00:23:45,080 --> 00:23:50,439 Speaker 8: our cross our combatant commands and began coordinated operations with 408 00:23:50,520 --> 00:23:54,720 Speaker 8: the Israeli armed forces of an unprecedented scale. As the 409 00:23:54,760 --> 00:23:58,719 Speaker 8: Secretary laid out, our military objectives are clear. Our mission 410 00:23:58,800 --> 00:24:02,000 Speaker 8: is to protect and defend ourselves and, together with our 411 00:24:02,040 --> 00:24:07,520 Speaker 8: regional partners, prevent ran from the ability to project power 412 00:24:07,600 --> 00:24:10,879 Speaker 8: outside of its borders and be ready for follow on 413 00:24:10,960 --> 00:24:16,240 Speaker 8: actions as appropriate. Across every domain, land, air, sea, cyber, 414 00:24:16,480 --> 00:24:20,960 Speaker 8: the US Joint Force delivered synchronized and layered effects designed 415 00:24:20,960 --> 00:24:26,960 Speaker 8: to disrupt, degrade, deny, and destroy Iran's ability to conduct 416 00:24:27,000 --> 00:24:29,280 Speaker 8: and sustain combat operations. 417 00:24:29,920 --> 00:24:31,280 Speaker 2: On the US side. 418 00:24:31,640 --> 00:24:36,160 Speaker 8: This marked the culmination of months and in some cases years, 419 00:24:36,280 --> 00:24:40,720 Speaker 8: of deliberate planning and refinement against this particular target set. 420 00:24:41,320 --> 00:24:43,240 Speaker 2: From precision strikes. 421 00:24:42,800 --> 00:24:48,600 Speaker 8: Against key military infrastructure, to persistent intelligence and targeting integration, 422 00:24:49,040 --> 00:24:53,720 Speaker 8: to the close coordination of the components across vast distances. 423 00:24:54,119 --> 00:25:00,439 Speaker 8: This operation again demonstrated America's reach, readiness, and professionalism and 424 00:25:00,480 --> 00:25:04,440 Speaker 8: that of our joint United Force. It was historic not 425 00:25:04,480 --> 00:25:07,560 Speaker 8: only in the operational scope, but in the level of 426 00:25:07,640 --> 00:25:12,879 Speaker 8: joint integration displayed across every element of the Joint Force. 427 00:25:13,400 --> 00:25:16,000 Speaker 8: And as I said earlier, this work is just beginning 428 00:25:16,040 --> 00:25:17,080 Speaker 8: and will continue. 429 00:25:17,400 --> 00:25:20,240 Speaker 4: Two days ago, under the direction and direct orders of 430 00:25:20,280 --> 00:25:23,200 Speaker 4: President Donald J. Trump, the Department of War launched Operation 431 00:25:23,400 --> 00:25:28,560 Speaker 4: Epic Fury, the most lethal, most complex, and most precise 432 00:25:28,760 --> 00:25:33,679 Speaker 4: aerial operation in history. For forty seven long years, the 433 00:25:33,720 --> 00:25:37,880 Speaker 4: expansionist and Islamist regime in Tehran has waged as savage, 434 00:25:38,000 --> 00:25:42,040 Speaker 4: one sided war against America. They didn't always declare it openly, 435 00:25:42,760 --> 00:25:46,280 Speaker 4: except for their constant chance of death to America. They 436 00:25:46,280 --> 00:25:49,479 Speaker 4: did it through the blood of our people, car bombs 437 00:25:49,480 --> 00:25:54,359 Speaker 4: in Beirut, rocket attacks on our ships, murders at our embassy's, 438 00:25:54,440 --> 00:25:59,640 Speaker 4: roadside bombs in Iraq, in Afghanistan, funded and armed by 439 00:25:59,680 --> 00:26:05,359 Speaker 4: Iran in KOD's Force and IRGC killers. My generation of 440 00:26:05,440 --> 00:26:09,119 Speaker 4: veterans carried the names of brothers who never came home, 441 00:26:09,760 --> 00:26:14,639 Speaker 4: brothers butchered by Iranian backed roadside bombs and well armed militias, 442 00:26:14,960 --> 00:26:20,000 Speaker 4: thousands of our own. We didn't start this war, but 443 00:26:20,240 --> 00:26:24,560 Speaker 4: under President Trump, we are finishing it. Their war on 444 00:26:24,640 --> 00:26:30,200 Speaker 4: Americans has become our retribution against their Ayatola and his 445 00:26:30,320 --> 00:26:34,320 Speaker 4: death cult. It took the forty seventh president, a fighter 446 00:26:34,359 --> 00:26:38,119 Speaker 4: who always puts America first, to finally draw the line 447 00:26:38,200 --> 00:26:43,320 Speaker 4: after forty seven years of Iranian belligerents. He reminded the world, 448 00:26:43,400 --> 00:26:46,320 Speaker 4: as he has time and time again, being an American 449 00:26:46,400 --> 00:26:51,320 Speaker 4: means something unbreakable. If you kill Americans, if you threaten 450 00:26:51,400 --> 00:26:55,200 Speaker 4: Americans anywhere on Earth, we will hunt you down without 451 00:26:55,280 --> 00:26:59,520 Speaker 4: apology and without hesitation. And we will kill you. 452 00:27:00,320 --> 00:27:02,480 Speaker 2: All right. That was earlier this morning. 453 00:27:02,640 --> 00:27:06,119 Speaker 1: That was the Secretary of War Pete Hegseeth and the 454 00:27:06,320 --> 00:27:11,320 Speaker 1: Chairman of the Joint Chiefs Air Force, General Dan Kane, 455 00:27:11,480 --> 00:27:15,720 Speaker 1: Raising Kane as he's often effectually referred to, talking about 456 00:27:15,720 --> 00:27:18,560 Speaker 1: the objective of the operation, how clear it was protecting 457 00:27:18,680 --> 00:27:21,640 Speaker 1: US interest in the Middle East, ending the Iranian ability 458 00:27:21,680 --> 00:27:27,159 Speaker 1: to project offensive power outside of their borders. Pretty amazing stuff. 459 00:27:27,560 --> 00:27:29,639 Speaker 1: If that doesn't impress you, I don't know what will. 460 00:27:30,920 --> 00:27:31,199 Speaker 6: All right. 461 00:27:31,240 --> 00:27:36,120 Speaker 1: We love the very latest as this ongoing conflict continues 462 00:27:36,760 --> 00:27:41,920 Speaker 1: against Iran. Unbelievable operation epic Fury. We'll have all the 463 00:27:42,000 --> 00:27:46,280 Speaker 1: latest developments.
