Speaker 2: we're doing this show.

14
00:00:33,479 --> 00:00:35,440
Speaker 3: We are gathered right now at a time of war,

15
00:00:35,680 --> 00:00:38,960
Speaker 3: that time when Israel is striking back at Iran, striking

16
00:00:39,000 --> 00:00:42,400
Speaker 3: back to ensure that Iran does not acquire nuclear weapons.

17
00:00:42,440 --> 00:00:45,239
Speaker 3: And you and I are recording this podcast at is

18
00:00:45,280 --> 00:00:48,600
Speaker 3: twelve oh seven am on Friday morning, So the events

19
00:00:48,680 --> 00:00:51,000
Speaker 3: may change in the next forty eight hours, but at

20
00:00:51,040 --> 00:00:55,640
Speaker 3: twelve oh seven am, the war is just unfolding and

21
00:00:55,680 --> 00:00:59,280
Speaker 3: we're seeing what's happening, and what's happening so far. Israel

22
00:00:59,360 --> 00:01:03,120
Speaker 3: strikes by by the early reports, have been enormously effective.

23
00:01:03,880 --> 00:01:08,920
Speaker 3: Israel has taken out the chief of the IRGC Israel

24
00:01:08,959 --> 00:01:12,119
Speaker 3: has taken out the successor to the chief of the IRGC.

25
00:01:12,480 --> 00:01:17,280
Speaker 3: Israel has decimated the Tons, a major nuclear site in Iran,

26
00:01:17,959 --> 00:01:21,800
Speaker 3: and Israel is carrying out multiple military strikes right now

27
00:01:21,840 --> 00:01:24,520
Speaker 3: as we speak. Now, I will say, by the time

28
00:01:24,600 --> 00:01:26,920
Speaker 3: you listen to this podcast, it may be Friday during

29
00:01:26,920 --> 00:01:29,160
Speaker 3: the day and you're listening to the podcast. It may

30
00:01:29,280 --> 00:01:31,679
Speaker 3: be Saturday or Sunday and you're listening to this show

31
00:01:31,720 --> 00:01:34,760
Speaker 3: on the radio. Things may have changed by then. But

32
00:01:34,959 --> 00:01:38,520
Speaker 3: right now we are seeing war in the Middle East.

33
00:01:38,560 --> 00:01:43,240
Speaker 3: We are seeing Israel acting decisively to protect herself. And

34
00:01:43,280 --> 00:01:45,240
Speaker 3: I will say there are several messages that every one

35
00:01:45,280 --> 00:01:46,920
Speaker 3: of us need to hear, but the two that are

36
00:01:46,920 --> 00:01:53,640
Speaker 3: most important. Our number one, America stands unequivocally with the

37
00:01:53,640 --> 00:01:55,960
Speaker 3: state of Israel. We are with Israel and her right

38
00:01:56,000 --> 00:02:02,360
Speaker 3: to defend herself with no daylight whatsoever. Two a message

39
00:02:02,400 --> 00:02:03,840
Speaker 3: to the Iyatola.

40
00:02:04,320 --> 00:02:04,880
Speaker 1: We have an.

41
00:02:04,880 --> 00:02:07,760
Speaker 3: Enormous number of American servicemen and women in harm's way

42
00:02:08,360 --> 00:02:12,160
Speaker 3: in the Middle East. The Iatola needs to understand if

43
00:02:12,200 --> 00:02:16,280
Speaker 3: you strike out and attack American servicemen and women, if

44
00:02:16,320 --> 00:02:20,960
Speaker 3: you kill even a single American servicemen or women, I

45
00:02:21,000 --> 00:02:26,480
Speaker 3: am absolutely confident President Trump will respond with overwhelming force,

46
00:02:26,639 --> 00:02:31,000
Speaker 3: and so the Iyahtola should know, do not attack America

47
00:02:31,040 --> 00:02:33,560
Speaker 3: as a response to this military assault.

48
00:02:33,880 --> 00:02:34,440
Speaker 1: Amen to that.

49
00:02:34,600 --> 00:02:37,800
Speaker 2: And look, this is such a hard time right now

50
00:02:37,840 --> 00:02:40,200
Speaker 2: for so many in Israel, and so many that listen

51
00:02:40,240 --> 00:02:42,960
Speaker 2: to the show have asks what can I do to help?

52
00:02:43,240 --> 00:02:45,240
Speaker 2: How do I stand with the people in Israel? They

53
00:02:45,280 --> 00:02:47,360
Speaker 2: need our help now more than ever. And that's why

54
00:02:47,440 --> 00:02:50,120
Speaker 2: I want you to get involved with an organization that

55
00:02:50,200 --> 00:02:53,079
Speaker 2: I'm heavily involved with. It's called the International Fellowship of

56
00:02:53,160 --> 00:02:56,600
Speaker 2: Christians and Jews. And we are seeing something that's disturbing,

57
00:02:56,760 --> 00:03:00,960
Speaker 2: anti Semitism on the rise around the world. Sadly right

58
00:03:01,000 --> 00:03:03,560
Speaker 2: here in America. You have seen Jewish schools that have

59
00:03:03,600 --> 00:03:06,440
Speaker 2: been targeted, synagogues that have been threatened, families that are

60
00:03:06,480 --> 00:03:10,200
Speaker 2: living in fear. And that's happening in the US. Imagine

61
00:03:10,200 --> 00:03:13,480
Speaker 2: what's happening right now in Israel. And that's why I

62
00:03:13,560 --> 00:03:16,040
Speaker 2: want you to know about the International Fellowship of Christians

63
00:03:16,040 --> 00:03:18,960
Speaker 2: and Jews. They're on the front lines and they're providing

64
00:03:19,080 --> 00:03:22,680
Speaker 2: hope and help when it is needed the most, especially

65
00:03:22,840 --> 00:03:26,760
Speaker 2: right now, they're giving food and shelter to Jewish families

66
00:03:26,760 --> 00:03:31,200
Speaker 2: that are under threat. They are building countless bomb shelters

67
00:03:31,320 --> 00:03:34,920
Speaker 2: for children to keep them safe. In Israel, they're helping

68
00:03:35,000 --> 00:03:37,800
Speaker 2: survivors of hate rebuild their lives. And they don't just

69
00:03:37,920 --> 00:03:41,640
Speaker 2: respond to crisis, they work every day to prevent it. Now,

70
00:03:41,840 --> 00:03:45,680
Speaker 2: your gift of only forty five dollars not only will

71
00:03:45,680 --> 00:03:48,880
Speaker 2: help support life saving work by providing food and shelter

72
00:03:49,040 --> 00:03:52,360
Speaker 2: and bomb shelters and armored vehicles, but it will give

73
00:03:52,840 --> 00:03:56,920
Speaker 2: them peace knowing that there are people standing with the

74
00:03:57,000 --> 00:04:00,680
Speaker 2: people in Israel. So if you've thought of out helping,

75
00:04:00,840 --> 00:04:03,640
Speaker 2: now is the time to do it. Call them and

Speaker 2: eight at eight for eight eight IFCJ Right now, All right, Senator,

82
00:04:28,520 --> 00:04:31,200
Speaker 2: so let's start with the basic question, and that is

83
00:04:33,320 --> 00:04:38,039
Speaker 2: what how did this begin? What have you learned being

84
00:04:38,080 --> 00:04:41,360
Speaker 2: in Washington, d C. About this strike on these Iranian

85
00:04:41,440 --> 00:04:44,719
Speaker 2: nuclear sites and military targets. What do you know tonight

86
00:04:44,800 --> 00:04:46,800
Speaker 2: that that you can tell people listening.

87
00:04:47,920 --> 00:04:50,680
Speaker 3: Well, let me say, first of all, I believe this

88
00:04:50,760 --> 00:04:56,240
Speaker 3: attack was inevitable, that Iran was hell bent on acquiring

89
00:04:56,320 --> 00:05:01,400
Speaker 3: nuclear weapons. President Trump said repeatedly and unequipped that the

90
00:05:01,440 --> 00:05:05,719
Speaker 3: only option for Iran was a complete and total dismantlement

91
00:05:06,440 --> 00:05:09,960
Speaker 3: of their centrifuges, of their enrichment capacity, of their ability

92
00:05:10,000 --> 00:05:14,080
Speaker 3: to enrich uranium. I led a letter with fifty two

93
00:05:14,200 --> 00:05:19,520
Speaker 3: Republican senators where we said, united, we agree with President Trump.

94
00:05:19,720 --> 00:05:23,760
Speaker 3: This is the red line, complete and total dismantlement of

95
00:05:23,760 --> 00:05:27,120
Speaker 3: their nuclear capacity. Now, what President Trump said is there's

96
00:05:27,160 --> 00:05:29,760
Speaker 3: two ways they can do this. One they can do

97
00:05:29,800 --> 00:05:33,440
Speaker 3: so peacefully through negotiations, and that's what the Trump administration

98
00:05:33,560 --> 00:05:37,640
Speaker 3: was trying to do. Or two, if they refuse to dismantle,

99
00:05:38,600 --> 00:05:45,120
Speaker 3: they will have the centrifugees dismantled through warfare. Well, this morning,

100
00:05:46,320 --> 00:05:49,320
Speaker 3: the Iranian regime announced it was not going to shut

101
00:05:49,360 --> 00:05:52,560
Speaker 3: down even a single centrifuge. Instead, it was going to

102
00:05:52,600 --> 00:05:56,679
Speaker 3: build more. That they were hell bent on building more centrifuges,

103
00:05:56,839 --> 00:05:59,560
Speaker 3: enriching more uranium, and they were on the path to

104
00:05:59,600 --> 00:06:02,359
Speaker 3: a nucle weapon. And I got to say, Ben, the

105
00:06:02,480 --> 00:06:08,240
Speaker 3: consequences of the statements this morning were Number one, there

106
00:06:08,240 --> 00:06:11,680
Speaker 3: were a gigantic middle frank finger to President Trump. They

107
00:06:11,680 --> 00:06:14,160
Speaker 3: were saying, we don't care what you say. We want

108
00:06:14,240 --> 00:06:17,080
Speaker 3: nuclear weapons, and we're not gonna be dissuaded. We're not

109
00:06:17,080 --> 00:06:19,600
Speaker 3: gonna be deterred. But number two, they were a very

110
00:06:19,600 --> 00:06:24,160
Speaker 3: clear message to Israel, attack us now, because we are

111
00:06:24,240 --> 00:06:27,240
Speaker 3: barreling towards acquiring a nuclear weapon, and if you wait,

112
00:06:28,240 --> 00:06:30,760
Speaker 3: you may find yourself with an enemy that has a

113
00:06:30,839 --> 00:06:34,080
Speaker 3: nuclear weapon and that can detonated over the skies of

114
00:06:34,200 --> 00:06:38,279
Speaker 3: Israel and kill millions of Israelis. And so Iran set

115
00:06:38,360 --> 00:06:41,520
Speaker 3: us on this course, and the government of Israel is

116
00:06:41,560 --> 00:06:45,840
Speaker 3: acting to keep the people of Israel safe. But it

117
00:06:45,880 --> 00:06:50,600
Speaker 3: is nonetheless an extraordinarily perilous time for Israel, for America,

118
00:06:50,600 --> 00:06:51,600
Speaker 3: and for the world.

119
00:06:52,160 --> 00:06:54,800
Speaker 2: Sara, you just mentioned that this was inevitable, and it

120
00:06:54,880 --> 00:06:56,960
Speaker 2: does feel like it was a long time coming, and

121
00:06:57,000 --> 00:06:58,960
Speaker 2: there was a question of who was going to do it.

122
00:06:59,000 --> 00:07:01,919
Speaker 2: Was it gonna be America, was it going to be Israel.

123
00:07:02,520 --> 00:07:04,599
Speaker 2: Clearly now we know this is Israel that is launching

124
00:07:04,680 --> 00:07:06,960
Speaker 2: this preempt to strike, and some would even argue this

125
00:07:07,120 --> 00:07:09,040
Speaker 2: was long overdue.

126
00:07:09,320 --> 00:07:14,000
Speaker 3: Yes, and I will say President Trump announced on April twelfth,

127
00:07:14,720 --> 00:07:18,240
Speaker 3: that Iran has sixty days to negotiate and agree to

128
00:07:18,280 --> 00:07:23,880
Speaker 3: this sixty days. This attack was launched on June twelfth, Thursday,

129
00:07:23,960 --> 00:07:28,040
Speaker 3: June twelfth, exactly sixty days after that. That is not

130
00:07:28,120 --> 00:07:32,200
Speaker 3: an accident. Iran understood they had a timeframe, but you

131
00:07:32,240 --> 00:07:34,640
Speaker 3: got to understand the Iranians when they negotiate, they want

132
00:07:34,680 --> 00:07:37,360
Speaker 3: to delay. They want to delay, they want to continue

133
00:07:37,400 --> 00:07:41,720
Speaker 3: to reap the benefits of Joe Biden and the Democrats

134
00:07:41,760 --> 00:07:45,520
Speaker 3: weakness and appeasement and fuel the money that they received

135
00:07:46,080 --> 00:07:49,560
Speaker 3: into developing nuclear weapons. And so Israel made the decision.

136
00:07:50,160 --> 00:07:52,160
Speaker 3: They made the decision they were going to attack. They

137
00:07:52,160 --> 00:07:55,000
Speaker 3: were going to attack on exactly the sixty day expiration

138
00:07:55,520 --> 00:07:59,680
Speaker 3: of President Trump's deadline. And I think that was driven

139
00:07:59,760 --> 00:08:04,280
Speaker 3: by Iran beginning Thursday by saying we're not changing a

140
00:08:04,400 --> 00:08:09,200
Speaker 3: damn thing. We're gonna keep building centrifuges and effectively we

141
00:08:09,240 --> 00:08:11,360
Speaker 3: want a nuclear weapon and there's nothing you can do

142
00:08:11,400 --> 00:08:14,640
Speaker 3: to stop us. Israel acted to demonstrate that was not right.

143
00:08:15,320 --> 00:08:17,520
Speaker 2: Senator, I want to also remind people we do the

144
00:08:17,560 --> 00:08:19,240
Speaker 2: show as a podcast, so you can grab it three

145
00:08:19,320 --> 00:08:21,880
Speaker 2: days a week wherever you get your podcasts. Don't forget

146
00:08:21,920 --> 00:08:24,880
Speaker 2: subscribed to vertict with Ted Cruz. And let's get into

147
00:08:24,880 --> 00:08:27,640
Speaker 2: what Netnya who had to say as well, Senator netna

148
00:08:27,720 --> 00:08:30,440
Speaker 2: who came out and was and spoke very boldly, not

149
00:08:30,520 --> 00:08:33,480
Speaker 2: just to the people in Israel, but also to the world.

150
00:08:33,640 --> 00:08:36,880
Speaker 3: So on Thursday evening, as the military strike was beginning,

151
00:08:37,200 --> 00:08:40,640
Speaker 3: Prime Minster Netnyah who addressed Israel and addressed the world.

152
00:08:40,880 --> 00:08:41,840
Speaker 3: Here's what he had to say.

153
00:08:43,679 --> 00:08:49,280
Speaker 4: Moments ago, Israel launched Operation Rising Lion, a targeted military

154
00:08:49,280 --> 00:08:54,559
Speaker 4: operation to roll back the Uranian threat to Israel's very survival.

155
00:08:55,160 --> 00:08:58,080
Speaker 4: This operation will continue for as many days as it

156
00:08:58,120 --> 00:09:02,640
Speaker 4: takes to remove this threat. For decades, the tyrants of

157
00:09:02,679 --> 00:09:08,160
Speaker 4: Tehran have brazenly openly called for Israel's destruction. They've backed

158
00:09:08,240 --> 00:09:12,600
Speaker 4: up their genocidal rhetoric with a program to develop nuclear weapons.

159
00:09:13,480 --> 00:09:17,720
Speaker 4: In recent years, Iran is produced enough highly enriched uranium

160
00:09:18,080 --> 00:09:23,560
Speaker 4: for nine atom bombs. Nine In recent months, Iran has

161
00:09:23,600 --> 00:09:27,240
Speaker 4: taken steps that it has never taken before, steps to

162
00:09:27,360 --> 00:09:31,800
Speaker 4: weaponize this enriched uranium, and if not stopped, Iran could

163
00:09:31,800 --> 00:09:34,960
Speaker 4: produce a nuclear weapon in a very short time. It

164
00:09:34,960 --> 00:09:37,600
Speaker 4: could be a year, it could be within a few months,

165
00:09:37,720 --> 00:09:40,560
Speaker 4: less than a year. This is a clear and present

166
00:09:40,679 --> 00:09:45,600
Speaker 4: danger to Israel's very survival. Eighty years ago, the Jewish

167
00:09:45,600 --> 00:09:49,280
Speaker 4: people were the victims of a holocaust perpetrated by the

168
00:09:49,360 --> 00:09:53,840
Speaker 4: Nazi regime. Today, the Jewish state refuses to be a

169
00:09:53,920 --> 00:09:58,160
Speaker 4: victim of a nuclear holocaust perpetrated by the Uranian regime.

170
00:09:58,960 --> 00:10:02,199
Speaker 4: Now its prime minister. I've made it clear time it again.

171
00:10:03,120 --> 00:10:06,640
Speaker 4: Israel will never allow those who call for our annihilation

172
00:10:07,200 --> 00:10:10,840
Speaker 4: to develop the means to achieve that goal. Tonight, Israel

173
00:10:10,880 --> 00:10:14,640
Speaker 4: backs those words with action. We struck at the heart

174
00:10:14,640 --> 00:10:18,079
Speaker 4: of Iran's nuclear enrichment program. We struck at the heart

175
00:10:18,120 --> 00:10:23,440
Speaker 4: of Iran's nuclear weaponization program. We targeted Iran's main enrichment

176
00:10:23,480 --> 00:10:28,280
Speaker 4: facility in Atans. We targeted Iran's leading nuclear scientists working

177
00:10:28,320 --> 00:10:30,839
Speaker 4: on the Iranian bomb. We also struck at the heart

178
00:10:30,840 --> 00:10:35,800
Speaker 4: of Iran's ballistic missile program. Last year, Iran fired three

179
00:10:35,920 --> 00:10:40,400
Speaker 4: hundred ballistic missiles at Israel. Each of these missiles carries

180
00:10:40,440 --> 00:10:44,440
Speaker 4: a ton of explosives and threatens the lives of hundreds

181
00:10:44,480 --> 00:10:48,800
Speaker 4: of people. Soon, those missiles could carry a nuclear payload,

182
00:10:49,160 --> 00:10:53,400
Speaker 4: threatening the lives not of hundreds, but of millions. Iran

183
00:10:53,480 --> 00:10:56,840
Speaker 4: is gearing up to produce ten thousands of those ballistic

184
00:10:56,920 --> 00:11:03,240
Speaker 4: missiles within three years. Now, just imagine imagine ten tons

185
00:11:03,280 --> 00:11:08,760
Speaker 4: of TNT landing on a country the size of New Jersey.

186
00:11:08,800 --> 00:11:12,760
Speaker 4: This is an intolerable threat. It too must be stopped.

187
00:11:13,679 --> 00:11:16,520
Speaker 2: You listen to Netnahu there, and not only was he

188
00:11:16,679 --> 00:11:19,520
Speaker 2: very queer and direct, but it was I think a

189
00:11:19,760 --> 00:11:22,959
Speaker 2: argument that if you're a sane person wherever you are

190
00:11:23,000 --> 00:11:25,440
Speaker 2: in the world, and you're looking at the position that

191
00:11:25,559 --> 00:11:28,880
Speaker 2: Israel is in with a Ran next door, they had

192
00:11:28,920 --> 00:11:29,679
Speaker 2: no choice but.

193
00:11:29,720 --> 00:11:30,160
Speaker 1: To do this.

194
00:11:30,880 --> 00:11:31,080
Speaker 4: Yes.

195
00:11:32,000 --> 00:11:34,640
Speaker 3: Look, as you know, I know Prime Minister Netne who

196
00:11:34,800 --> 00:11:37,160
Speaker 3: very well. He is a friend. We've spent a lot

197
00:11:37,160 --> 00:11:40,679
Speaker 3: of time together. When he was in DC last month,

198
00:11:41,280 --> 00:11:43,360
Speaker 3: he and I spent two almost two and a half

199
00:11:43,360 --> 00:11:47,200
Speaker 3: hours together, just one on one. I will tell you,

200
00:11:47,440 --> 00:11:49,520
Speaker 3: in the thirteen years i've been in the Senate, I've

201
00:11:49,559 --> 00:11:51,560
Speaker 3: met a lot of world leaders. That's part of the job,

202
00:11:51,600 --> 00:11:55,720
Speaker 3: as you meet the leaders of foreign countries. There is

203
00:11:55,800 --> 00:12:01,000
Speaker 3: only one who has taking my breath away, Prime Minister Netna,

204
00:12:01,080 --> 00:12:03,520
Speaker 3: who the adjective I've used for him I've not used

205
00:12:03,520 --> 00:12:07,960
Speaker 3: for anyone else is Churchillian. Because I think he has

206
00:12:08,000 --> 00:12:10,760
Speaker 3: a seriousness of purpose. I think he has a gravitas.

207
00:12:11,520 --> 00:12:15,000
Speaker 3: He understands that he is facing literally a threat to

208
00:12:15,120 --> 00:12:19,239
Speaker 3: annihilate the people of his country, and he is committed

209
00:12:19,840 --> 00:12:22,880
Speaker 3: to doing everything necessary to prevent it. You know, I'll

210
00:12:22,880 --> 00:12:25,800
Speaker 3: tell you when Obama was president, and when Obama was

211
00:12:25,920 --> 00:12:31,080
Speaker 3: negotiating and announcing the Obama Iran nuclear Deal, which was

212
00:12:31,240 --> 00:12:36,720
Speaker 3: catastrophically devastating, the House of Representatives invited Prime Minister Netna

213
00:12:36,760 --> 00:12:39,720
Speaker 3: who to come and address a joint session of Congress.

214
00:12:40,320 --> 00:12:44,680
Speaker 3: And when that happened, I invited Ellie Wizel, who is

215
00:12:44,720 --> 00:12:49,560
Speaker 3: the Nobel Laureate, incredible, incredible man, to come participate in

216
00:12:49,559 --> 00:12:52,080
Speaker 3: a conversation with me on what the threat of a

217
00:12:52,160 --> 00:12:53,120
Speaker 3: nuclear Iran was.

218
00:12:54,120 --> 00:12:54,360
Speaker 1: Now.

219
00:12:54,480 --> 00:12:58,800
Speaker 3: Ellie, he wanted it to be very mache bipartisan event.

220
00:12:59,760 --> 00:13:01,880
Speaker 3: So I invited Chuck Schumer to participate.

221
00:13:02,600 --> 00:13:03,199
Speaker 1: He said no.

222
00:13:04,120 --> 00:13:09,320
Speaker 3: I invited multiple Democrats to participate, one after the other

223
00:13:09,440 --> 00:13:12,240
Speaker 3: after the other. They sayed said no. Finally I told Ellie,

224
00:13:12,320 --> 00:13:16,200
Speaker 3: no Democrat will participate. We did a gathering in the Capitol.

225
00:13:16,240 --> 00:13:18,320
Speaker 3: We had over five hundred people come in the Capital.

226
00:13:18,400 --> 00:13:24,679
Speaker 3: Listen Ellie Wizzel talk about his experiences seeing the horrors

227
00:13:24,760 --> 00:13:28,800
Speaker 3: of the Holocaust, seeing the horrors of evil and Nazi Germany.

228
00:13:29,720 --> 00:13:32,680
Speaker 3: And I got to say when Ellie was l talked

229
00:13:32,679 --> 00:13:37,320
Speaker 3: about never again means never again and the greatest threat

230
00:13:37,840 --> 00:13:42,240
Speaker 3: of another holocaust on planet Earth is a nuclear Iran

231
00:13:42,480 --> 00:13:48,400
Speaker 3: where these theocratic lunatics use nuclear weapons to murder millions

232
00:13:48,520 --> 00:13:49,199
Speaker 3: of Israelis.

233
00:13:49,240 --> 00:13:50,040
Speaker 4: It was powerful.

234
00:13:51,520 --> 00:13:53,160
Speaker 3: It took my breath away to be sitting at the

235
00:13:53,200 --> 00:13:57,320
Speaker 3: table with him. But it also spoke volumes that not

236
00:13:57,400 --> 00:13:59,440
Speaker 3: a single Democrat was willing to be in the room.

237
00:13:59,440 --> 00:14:02,120
Speaker 3: And I'll tell you about so. On that speech on

238
00:14:02,160 --> 00:14:04,400
Speaker 3: the Senate floor, I was there. I listened to Prime

239
00:14:04,440 --> 00:14:08,160
Speaker 3: Minister net Yahu's speech, which was powerful, it was incredibly important,

240
00:14:08,840 --> 00:14:13,880
Speaker 3: and we saw a vast number of Democrats boycott the speech,

241
00:14:14,160 --> 00:14:16,800
Speaker 3: refuse to attend. We saw that again when when when

242
00:14:16,840 --> 00:14:21,120
Speaker 3: the Prime Minister addressed Congress more recently, and again Democrats

243
00:14:21,160 --> 00:14:23,840
Speaker 3: boycott of the speech. Kamala Harris boycott of the speech,

244
00:14:24,000 --> 00:14:28,480
Speaker 3: refused to listen to the democratically elected leader of Israel.

245
00:14:28,480 --> 00:14:32,760
Speaker 3: And it is a sad dynamic that today's Democrat party

246
00:14:33,240 --> 00:14:38,640
Speaker 3: is dominated by the Prohamas faction. Today's Democrat Party isn't

247
00:14:38,680 --> 00:14:42,600
Speaker 3: panic because right now, far too many of their radicals

248
00:14:42,680 --> 00:14:46,760
Speaker 3: sympathize with Iran over Israel and that that may sound

249
00:14:46,800 --> 00:14:49,960
Speaker 3: like hyperbole, but you know what we are going to see.

250
00:14:50,200 --> 00:14:51,920
Speaker 3: I'm going to predict this, you and I. This is

251
00:14:51,960 --> 00:14:55,320
Speaker 3: this is early Friday morning. We are going to see

252
00:14:55,320 --> 00:15:01,120
Speaker 3: Democrat after Democrat saying to Israel, un need to restrain yourself,

253
00:15:01,160 --> 00:15:04,840
Speaker 3: not calling out Iran, but calling out Israel, because that

254
00:15:05,040 --> 00:15:07,280
Speaker 3: is where the dank on Israel that party is.

255
00:15:07,760 --> 00:15:10,080
Speaker 2: Yes, Yeah, after the attack, they've came out and said

256
00:15:10,360 --> 00:15:12,800
Speaker 2: they must show restraint, before they'd even been able to

257
00:15:12,800 --> 00:15:14,960
Speaker 2: figure out what had happened in Israel're like, well, they

258
00:15:14,960 --> 00:15:17,000
Speaker 2: need to show restraint, They must show restrained.

259
00:15:17,080 --> 00:15:20,120
Speaker 3: Everything the Biden administration over and over again said, do

260
00:15:20,160 --> 00:15:22,240
Speaker 3: not kill the terrorists, do not kill the terrorists. They

261
00:15:22,320 --> 00:15:26,840
Speaker 3: cut off weapons to Israel. The radical left in the

262
00:15:26,840 --> 00:15:30,040
Speaker 3: Democrat Party hates Israel, and that battle is only.

263
00:15:29,960 --> 00:15:30,600
Speaker 1: Going to get worse.

264
00:15:33,160 --> 00:15:34,840
Speaker 2: One of the things I love about doing the show

265
00:15:34,880 --> 00:15:40,400
Speaker 2: Center is moments after this attack took place Israel on Iran,

266
00:15:41,040 --> 00:15:43,880
Speaker 2: you were actually on the phone with the ambassador from Israel.

267
00:15:44,400 --> 00:15:47,200
Speaker 2: What did he tell you about this attack? How long

268
00:15:47,240 --> 00:15:50,200
Speaker 2: had they been planning this, What was the final decision

269
00:15:50,240 --> 00:15:53,200
Speaker 2: that made this happen in the last several hours.

270
00:15:54,200 --> 00:15:57,920
Speaker 3: Well, understand, this show happens real time. It happens real

271
00:15:58,000 --> 00:16:00,720
Speaker 3: time in real life. You and I are recording this

272
00:16:01,040 --> 00:16:03,720
Speaker 3: early in the morning Friday morning. This podcast will come

273
00:16:03,720 --> 00:16:05,560
Speaker 3: out later in the day on Friday. So some of

274
00:16:05,560 --> 00:16:08,080
Speaker 3: you will be listening to this on Friday, others of

275
00:16:08,120 --> 00:16:10,960
Speaker 3: you will be hearing this on radio on Saturday or Sunday.

276
00:16:11,440 --> 00:16:14,160
Speaker 3: And so the world may have changed forty eight hours.

277
00:16:14,200 --> 00:16:17,840
Speaker 3: At the time when a war is initiating, it is

278
00:16:17,920 --> 00:16:20,960
Speaker 3: a mountain of time. What I can tell you is

279
00:16:21,280 --> 00:16:24,800
Speaker 3: late Thursday night, as Israel was launching it its attacks,

280
00:16:24,880 --> 00:16:29,640
Speaker 3: before Iran has engaged in a counterattack, I was on

281
00:16:29,680 --> 00:16:32,520
Speaker 3: the phone with the Israeli ambassador of the United States

282
00:16:32,520 --> 00:16:36,680
Speaker 3: and he told me that the attack at least so far,

283
00:16:36,760 --> 00:16:40,200
Speaker 3: had gone extraordinarily well, that they'd taken out senior leadership

284
00:16:40,240 --> 00:16:42,560
Speaker 3: of the IRGC. And I got to say, by the way,

285
00:16:42,960 --> 00:16:46,000
Speaker 3: that's a huge victory for the United States of America.

286
00:16:46,040 --> 00:16:51,440
Speaker 3: The IRGC has murdered over six hundred American servicemen and women.

287
00:16:53,120 --> 00:16:57,640
Speaker 3: They are grotesquely hostile to the United States, and for

288
00:16:57,760 --> 00:17:00,280
Speaker 3: Israel to take them out, it has enormous bend fit

289
00:17:00,320 --> 00:17:03,640
Speaker 3: to America. But at the same time, the Israeli ambassador

290
00:17:03,760 --> 00:17:07,159
Speaker 3: told me that the instruction had gone out in Israel

291
00:17:07,560 --> 00:17:10,199
Speaker 3: to the people of Israel go to a bomb shelter,

292
00:17:10,920 --> 00:17:13,400
Speaker 3: either be in a bomb shelter or be very near

293
00:17:13,440 --> 00:17:17,000
Speaker 3: a bomb shelter, because they are anticipating early in the

294
00:17:17,040 --> 00:17:20,960
Speaker 3: morning Friday morning, that Iran is going to launch a

295
00:17:21,320 --> 00:17:28,360
Speaker 3: massive counterattack with ballistic weapons. And Israel has extensive anti

296
00:17:28,400 --> 00:17:32,359
Speaker 3: missile defenses, but Iran has sufficient volume that if they

297
00:17:32,480 --> 00:17:35,800
Speaker 3: launch everything, they have the capacity to overwhelm the defenses,

298
00:17:36,440 --> 00:17:38,920
Speaker 3: and so there is a very real possibility. The people

299
00:17:38,960 --> 00:17:42,680
Speaker 3: of Israel are braced. They understand. Look, look that they're

300
00:17:42,720 --> 00:17:46,960
Speaker 3: not playing they're not playing games that they are playing

301
00:17:47,040 --> 00:17:50,399
Speaker 3: with real stakes. They're playing with live rounds. The people

302
00:17:50,400 --> 00:17:53,480
Speaker 3: of Israel understand right now, as you and I are

303
00:17:53,560 --> 00:17:57,440
Speaker 3: recording this, that we may see Israeli's die right now,

304
00:17:57,520 --> 00:18:00,920
Speaker 3: because Iran has enough missiles that if they launched them all,

305
00:18:01,840 --> 00:18:05,879
Speaker 3: there will be Israeli's murdered in the minutes and hours

306
00:18:05,880 --> 00:18:09,720
Speaker 3: ahead of us. But at the same time, Prime Minister Netanyah,

307
00:18:09,720 --> 00:18:11,959
Speaker 3: who made the decision, it's a decision I agree with.

308
00:18:12,000 --> 00:18:15,159
Speaker 3: It's a decision that I think was right, which is

309
00:18:15,480 --> 00:18:20,720
Speaker 3: the risk of Israelis dying and of Americans dying if

310
00:18:20,760 --> 00:18:25,480
Speaker 3: Iran acquires a nuclear weapon is qualitatively different that we

311
00:18:25,560 --> 00:18:30,399
Speaker 3: could face. With an Iranian nuclear weapon, we could face

312
00:18:30,720 --> 00:18:35,919
Speaker 3: millions murdered. And so listen, I want to underscore what

313
00:18:35,920 --> 00:18:38,199
Speaker 3: I said at the beginning of this podcast. Pray for

314
00:18:38,240 --> 00:18:41,320
Speaker 3: the people of Israel and pray for our servicemen and

315
00:18:41,359 --> 00:18:44,080
Speaker 3: women in har harm's way, because this is a very

316
00:18:44,200 --> 00:18:45,000
Speaker 3: very dangerous time.

317
00:18:45,080 --> 00:18:48,119
Speaker 2: Right now, Well, let's talk about who is targeted and

318
00:18:48,240 --> 00:18:51,439
Speaker 2: what this looks like moving forward from the standpoint of Israel.

319
00:18:51,440 --> 00:18:54,320
Speaker 2: I mean, the objective here is clearly to put them

320
00:18:54,440 --> 00:18:57,200
Speaker 2: back when it comes to a nuclear program, but they

321
00:18:57,240 --> 00:18:59,480
Speaker 2: also went after people that were involved in that program,

322
00:18:59,560 --> 00:19:02,280
Speaker 2: which is a really big way to move things backwards.

323
00:19:03,280 --> 00:19:03,520
Speaker 4: Yeah.

324
00:19:03,520 --> 00:19:07,040
Speaker 3: Look, this was a decapitation strike. It was targeted the

325
00:19:07,160 --> 00:19:11,159
Speaker 3: senior military leaders in Iran. It was targeted at the

326
00:19:11,240 --> 00:19:16,000
Speaker 3: nuclear facilities in Iran, it was targeted at the anti

327
00:19:16,520 --> 00:19:21,720
Speaker 3: air assault facilities in Iran. It was a very targeted

328
00:19:21,800 --> 00:19:26,560
Speaker 3: but massively effective strike. Now Iran is going to strike back.

329
00:19:26,720 --> 00:19:30,879
Speaker 3: Understand that that that's not a possibility or a probability

330
00:19:31,359 --> 00:19:34,480
Speaker 3: it is a certainty that Iran will hit back. Now,

331
00:19:34,520 --> 00:19:37,400
Speaker 3: what I hope Iran understands is they should not hit

332
00:19:37,440 --> 00:19:41,840
Speaker 3: back at America. Hitting back at America would escalate this dramatically.

333
00:19:42,680 --> 00:19:46,560
Speaker 3: And I will say the Secretary of State, Marco Rubio,

334
00:19:46,640 --> 00:19:48,880
Speaker 3: he put out a statement Thursday night. Let me read

335
00:19:48,920 --> 00:19:54,720
Speaker 3: his statement. Quote tonight, Israel took unilateral action against Iran.

336
00:19:55,640 --> 00:19:59,160
Speaker 3: We were not involved in strikes against Iran, and our

337
00:19:59,200 --> 00:20:03,439
Speaker 3: top priority is protecting American forces in the region. Israel

338
00:20:03,480 --> 00:20:06,479
Speaker 3: advised us that they believe this action was necessary for

339
00:20:06,520 --> 00:20:10,440
Speaker 3: its self defense. President Trump and the Administration have taken

340
00:20:10,600 --> 00:20:14,840
Speaker 3: all necessary steps to protect our forces and remain in

341
00:20:14,920 --> 00:20:19,160
Speaker 3: close contact with our regional partners. Let me be clear,

342
00:20:19,840 --> 00:20:26,639
Speaker 3: Iran should not target US interests or personnel. Now. Look,

343
00:20:26,920 --> 00:20:29,280
Speaker 3: I'm glad that the Secretary of State was putting out

344
00:20:29,280 --> 00:20:32,960
Speaker 3: that statement defending our servicemen and women. I wish there

345
00:20:33,000 --> 00:20:35,679
Speaker 3: had been more in that statement saying we stand with Israel.

346
00:20:35,680 --> 00:20:39,800
Speaker 3: That was missing from the statement, and it shouldn't have been.

347
00:20:40,480 --> 00:20:43,800
Speaker 3: From my perspective, we stand unequivocally with Israel. But I

348
00:20:43,880 --> 00:20:47,920
Speaker 3: understand why the Secretary of State didn't do that, which

349
00:20:47,960 --> 00:20:52,320
Speaker 3: is that he's concerned that Iran may strike at US

350
00:20:52,440 --> 00:20:56,440
Speaker 3: military forces. Now, in my view, the way to prevent

351
00:20:56,520 --> 00:20:58,600
Speaker 3: that is not to say to Iran, hey, we had

352
00:20:58,640 --> 00:21:02,479
Speaker 3: nothing to do with That was the main theme of

353
00:21:02,520 --> 00:21:07,240
Speaker 3: the Secretary of State's statement, but rather to say, if

354
00:21:07,280 --> 00:21:11,679
Speaker 3: you attack US forces, the consequences will be overwhelming. I

355
00:21:11,680 --> 00:21:16,639
Speaker 3: think Iran responds more to stick than the carrot. But

356
00:21:17,119 --> 00:21:19,920
Speaker 3: we shall see, and it is any way you look

357
00:21:19,960 --> 00:21:22,360
Speaker 3: at it, on unbelievably dangerous time.

358
00:21:24,560 --> 00:21:26,480
Speaker 2: Senator, Let's talk about some of the people that have

359
00:21:26,520 --> 00:21:30,000
Speaker 2: been taken out here. There's two aspects of these strikes. One,

360
00:21:30,680 --> 00:21:33,600
Speaker 2: nuclear scientists are being reported that they were targeted and

361
00:21:33,640 --> 00:21:37,080
Speaker 2: have been killed, and that is the brains of the

362
00:21:37,160 --> 00:21:40,479
Speaker 2: nuclear program. If you want to stop Iran from doing this,

363
00:21:40,960 --> 00:21:44,480
Speaker 2: taking out new nuclear scientists is absolutely brilliant. It's the

364
00:21:44,560 --> 00:21:48,320
Speaker 2: computer system, the nervous system of everything they're trying to accomplish.

365
00:21:48,840 --> 00:21:53,120
Speaker 2: That's incredible. But we also now know from virtually every

366
00:21:53,119 --> 00:21:57,760
Speaker 2: news agency is reporting this that the IRGC tear chief Salami,

367
00:21:57,840 --> 00:21:59,760
Speaker 2: has also been eliminated.

368
00:22:00,040 --> 00:22:01,280
Speaker 1: That is significant as well.

369
00:22:02,280 --> 00:22:05,480
Speaker 3: Well. We now know that Hussein Salami is lunch meat,

370
00:22:06,400 --> 00:22:09,880
Speaker 3: and I feel a little cheesy making fun of him.

371
00:22:10,240 --> 00:22:17,000
Speaker 3: But then again, the guy is a racist, genocidal, homicidal, lunatic.

372
00:22:17,920 --> 00:22:21,920
Speaker 3: So I hope after Salami, Beloni and Pastrami both get

373
00:22:21,960 --> 00:22:27,600
Speaker 3: eliminated as well. And if you look at the head

374
00:22:27,640 --> 00:22:34,600
Speaker 3: of the IRGC, he has responsibility for murdering over six

375
00:22:35,000 --> 00:22:39,919
Speaker 3: hundred US servicemen and women. So if you love the

376
00:22:39,960 --> 00:22:41,920
Speaker 3: men and women of the Armed Services, if you are

377
00:22:41,960 --> 00:22:46,520
Speaker 3: grateful for friends, family, loved ones who serve defending this nation,

378
00:22:47,680 --> 00:22:50,280
Speaker 3: then you ought to say tonight to the nation of Israel,

379
00:22:50,359 --> 00:22:52,359
Speaker 3: thank you, thank you for taking out the head of

380
00:22:52,400 --> 00:22:57,800
Speaker 3: the IRGC that is responsible for murdering hundreds of American

381
00:22:57,840 --> 00:23:01,159
Speaker 3: servicemen and women. President Trump when he was president the

382
00:23:01,160 --> 00:23:05,920
Speaker 3: first time, he took out General Solimani, and now today

383
00:23:06,000 --> 00:23:11,280
Speaker 3: the Israelis have taken out Solami a successor who is

384
00:23:11,320 --> 00:23:15,679
Speaker 3: the terror chief of the IRGC, and he is now

385
00:23:15,880 --> 00:23:18,240
Speaker 3: with his seventy two versions. So that I will tell you,

386
00:23:18,800 --> 00:23:21,679
Speaker 3: much to his dismay, those virgins are all Gomer Pyle

387
00:23:22,000 --> 00:23:23,119
Speaker 3: and it's not what he hoped for.

388
00:23:23,760 --> 00:23:25,520
Speaker 1: I got to say. One of the best parts about

389
00:23:25,520 --> 00:23:26,080
Speaker 1: this story.

390
00:23:26,160 --> 00:23:29,600
Speaker 2: Just side note, if you look up Insamami on his

391
00:23:29,960 --> 00:23:34,000
Speaker 2: pages on the Wikipedia, it already says, he's like the

392
00:23:34,040 --> 00:23:36,280
Speaker 2: former guy in charge of the IRGC.

393
00:23:36,920 --> 00:23:39,399
Speaker 1: I love the Internet when they get it right really quickly. Center.

394
00:23:39,680 --> 00:23:42,920
Speaker 2: It is amazing to see this moment in history, because

395
00:23:42,920 --> 00:23:45,240
Speaker 2: this is a moment in history. And I got to

396
00:23:45,280 --> 00:23:48,600
Speaker 2: ask you this, Aran now is going to respond. I'm

397
00:23:48,600 --> 00:23:51,800
Speaker 2: sure in some way. I'm sure Israel is expecting that.

398
00:23:52,560 --> 00:23:55,280
Speaker 2: You made it very clear to night America's warning and

399
00:23:55,359 --> 00:24:00,959
Speaker 2: from this administration. What happens next and what is Israel

400
00:24:01,040 --> 00:24:02,600
Speaker 2: expecting in your mind.

401
00:24:03,160 --> 00:24:05,879
Speaker 3: Well, it depends on the escalation. I think it is

402
00:24:05,920 --> 00:24:09,760
Speaker 3: one hundred percent certain that Iran will respond by firing

403
00:24:09,800 --> 00:24:13,600
Speaker 3: missiles at Israel. Israel gets that, they understand that they're

404
00:24:13,640 --> 00:24:18,159
Speaker 3: ready for that. There is some real possibility that Iran

405
00:24:18,240 --> 00:24:21,959
Speaker 3: will respond by firing missiles or other weapons at Americans.

406
00:24:22,480 --> 00:24:24,960
Speaker 3: And I think if they do that, they will dramatically

407
00:24:25,080 --> 00:24:28,200
Speaker 3: escalate this conflict. I think they will provoke. If they

408
00:24:28,320 --> 00:24:31,000
Speaker 3: murder American servicemen and women, I think you will see

409
00:24:31,000 --> 00:24:35,480
Speaker 3: President Trump respond with devastating force. And so again my

410
00:24:35,560 --> 00:24:39,560
Speaker 3: message to the IATOLA is, do not do that. Their

411
00:24:39,600 --> 00:24:41,560
Speaker 3: response to Israel, I don't know what it will be.

412
00:24:42,800 --> 00:24:46,600
Speaker 3: There is a risk that their response is devastating that

413
00:24:46,640 --> 00:24:51,080
Speaker 3: it is overwhelming. They have a massive number of ballistic missiles,

414
00:24:51,520 --> 00:24:54,840
Speaker 3: so if they fire them, all the odds are significant

415
00:24:54,840 --> 00:24:57,919
Speaker 3: that we will see a very large number of Israelis murdered.

416
00:24:58,960 --> 00:25:03,280
Speaker 3: What I'm saying, Prime Minister Netanyah, who understands he knows that.

417
00:25:04,040 --> 00:25:07,199
Speaker 3: He knows that, but by virtue of engaging this attack tonight,

418
00:25:07,920 --> 00:25:10,879
Speaker 3: there's a real risk of a significant number of Israelis

419
00:25:10,880 --> 00:25:15,000
Speaker 3: being murdered. But he did this because he knows that

420
00:25:15,040 --> 00:25:19,840
Speaker 3: if Iran has a nuclear weapon, many many more Israelis

421
00:25:19,840 --> 00:25:22,560
Speaker 3: and many many more Americans are at risk of being murdered.

422
00:25:23,240 --> 00:25:28,000
Speaker 3: Look the iatola chance death to America and death to Israel.

423
00:25:28,160 --> 00:25:32,440
Speaker 3: I believe he believes that, and so acquiring a nuclear

424
00:25:32,480 --> 00:25:34,760
Speaker 3: weapon is not just an academic question. If he gets

425
00:25:34,760 --> 00:25:38,080
Speaker 3: a nuclear weapon, I believe he is trying to acquire

426
00:25:38,119 --> 00:25:41,560
Speaker 3: one because he wants to carry out his promises of

427
00:25:41,600 --> 00:25:44,680
Speaker 3: death to Israel and death to America. And that's precisely

428
00:25:44,760 --> 00:25:48,080
Speaker 3: why Israel has launched this attack, to stop him from

429
00:25:48,080 --> 00:25:49,200
Speaker 3: getting that capability.

430
00:25:49,400 --> 00:25:52,320
Speaker 2: I also center want to play for you what the

431
00:25:52,359 --> 00:25:56,159
Speaker 2: Israeli ambassador the United Nations had to say on CNN earlier.

432
00:25:56,520 --> 00:25:58,040
Speaker 2: Here is what he had to say when he was

433
00:25:58,040 --> 00:25:59,720
Speaker 2: asked a couple of different questions about this.

434
00:26:00,560 --> 00:26:03,399
Speaker 5: Also joining me is Reel's ambassador to the United Nations.

435
00:26:03,480 --> 00:26:05,480
Speaker 5: They need to know and ambassador, it's great to have

436
00:26:05,520 --> 00:26:07,840
Speaker 5: you here, sir. Just first on the strike that we

437
00:26:07,840 --> 00:26:10,639
Speaker 5: were seeing play out tonight and what this means should

438
00:26:10,640 --> 00:26:13,320
Speaker 5: we now consider is real to be at war with Iran.

439
00:26:14,640 --> 00:26:18,040
Speaker 6: Now was very clear. We took a preemptive attack to

440
00:26:18,119 --> 00:26:22,199
Speaker 6: defense ourselves, to defend ourselves, and we are targeting the

441
00:26:22,280 --> 00:26:27,640
Speaker 6: nuclear facilities and the badistic mission centers in Iran. So

442
00:26:27,920 --> 00:26:31,040
Speaker 6: we don't go into declaration now, we take actions. We

443
00:26:31,160 --> 00:26:34,040
Speaker 6: decided not to wait for Iran to attack us with

444
00:26:34,160 --> 00:26:38,600
Speaker 6: nuclear capabilities. We knew that they were plotting to do that,

445
00:26:39,200 --> 00:26:42,640
Speaker 6: and while they were talking with many countries and negotiating,

446
00:26:43,040 --> 00:26:46,879
Speaker 6: they move secretly with a military plan to attack as well.

447
00:26:47,160 --> 00:26:49,600
Speaker 6: And what we did was an act of self defense.

448
00:26:50,200 --> 00:26:53,280
Speaker 6: And we have abilities, you know, Okayatelean. Eighty years ago

449
00:26:53,320 --> 00:26:56,439
Speaker 6: when Oswitz was liberated, we required the support of the

450
00:26:56,440 --> 00:26:59,520
Speaker 6: Allies to protect our people. But today we have our

451
00:26:59,560 --> 00:27:04,240
Speaker 6: own stage, our own military, our own alfos, and today

452
00:27:04,280 --> 00:27:07,119
Speaker 6: we are protecting ourselves from another holocaust.

453
00:27:08,040 --> 00:27:10,600
Speaker 5: I mean these are much wider than the preemptive strikes

454
00:27:10,600 --> 00:27:12,960
Speaker 5: based on what we've seen so far, especially in terms

455
00:27:12,960 --> 00:27:16,320
Speaker 5: of targeting around top military leaders as well as senior

456
00:27:16,400 --> 00:27:19,240
Speaker 5: nuclear scientists, kind of a mass based on what we

457
00:27:19,280 --> 00:27:22,640
Speaker 5: have heard, do you know how many of those those

458
00:27:22,680 --> 00:27:26,359
Speaker 5: top military leaders and nuclear scientists and Iran the strikes

459
00:27:26,400 --> 00:27:27,960
Speaker 5: against the more successful, how many of them have been

460
00:27:28,000 --> 00:27:28,840
Speaker 5: eliminated tonight.

461
00:27:29,320 --> 00:27:31,280
Speaker 6: No, I cannot go into those details, but I can

462
00:27:31,320 --> 00:27:35,760
Speaker 6: tell you one thing. Those people who were involved in

463
00:27:35,800 --> 00:27:40,880
Speaker 6: the nuclear production, those who were putting together the ballistic missiles,

464
00:27:41,680 --> 00:27:43,960
Speaker 6: there are targets. They are part of the machine that

465
00:27:44,119 --> 00:27:46,919
Speaker 6: threatened as well in other countries in the world. You know,

466
00:27:47,000 --> 00:27:49,000
Speaker 6: if you look back at attack that it well took,

467
00:27:49,800 --> 00:27:52,679
Speaker 6: whether it was against the Iraq or see. Yeah, we

468
00:27:52,800 --> 00:27:56,120
Speaker 6: try to develop a nuclear reactors. I think today everybody

469
00:27:56,119 --> 00:27:58,960
Speaker 6: can think it well for those actions. So maybe today

470
00:27:59,359 --> 00:28:02,120
Speaker 6: some people I'm not sure about why we are doing

471
00:28:02,160 --> 00:28:05,720
Speaker 6: it today, But down the world a few years from today,

472
00:28:06,040 --> 00:28:09,000
Speaker 6: the world will thank you well for the action we took.

473
00:28:08,840 --> 00:28:12,360
Speaker 2: Today night the world will think Israel for the actions

474
00:28:12,359 --> 00:28:12,919
Speaker 2: taking tonight.

475
00:28:13,160 --> 00:28:14,920
Speaker 1: Is that the big takeaway from all of.

476
00:28:14,880 --> 00:28:19,360
Speaker 3: This It should be, but understand that the pro hamas

477
00:28:19,480 --> 00:28:23,800
Speaker 3: radical left in the Democrat Party is cheering on exactly

478
00:28:23,920 --> 00:28:26,960
Speaker 3: the opposite side, So Ben Rhodes. Many of y all

479
00:28:26,960 --> 00:28:30,080
Speaker 3: listening know who Ben Roads is. Ben Rhodes was a

480
00:28:30,160 --> 00:28:34,439
Speaker 3: top national security official in the Barack Obama National Security Council.

481
00:28:35,080 --> 00:28:40,280
Speaker 3: He is the lead architect of the Obama Iran nuclear deal.

482
00:28:41,200 --> 00:28:46,440
Speaker 3: He is a hardcore leftist and tonight he's miserable. So

483
00:28:46,720 --> 00:28:50,680
Speaker 3: Ben Rhodes. Late Thursday night, he tweeted out, quote, this

484
00:28:50,880 --> 00:28:59,080
Speaker 3: is all so unnecessary, all of it everywhere. Understand when

485
00:28:59,320 --> 00:29:03,320
Speaker 3: Israel tax Iran to take out the nuclear capacities. Ben Rhodes,

486
00:29:04,080 --> 00:29:08,040
Speaker 3: the leading national security official for Barack Obama is I

487
00:29:08,080 --> 00:29:12,080
Speaker 3: think Ben is in tears right now. And listen. The

488
00:29:12,120 --> 00:29:17,520
Speaker 3: Iran nuclear deal under Obama was a disaster. Under Joe Biden,

489
00:29:17,560 --> 00:29:20,720
Speaker 3: their top foreign policy objective was to have another Iran

490
00:29:20,840 --> 00:29:23,720
Speaker 3: nuclear deal. The only thing that stopped it as Iran

491
00:29:23,920 --> 00:29:28,160
Speaker 3: was so unreasonable they would not accept it. And there

492
00:29:28,200 --> 00:29:31,720
Speaker 3: are so many in the Democrat Party right now that

493
00:29:32,120 --> 00:29:35,120
Speaker 3: are cheering for Iran. I'll tell you what I'm cheering

494
00:29:35,160 --> 00:29:39,280
Speaker 3: for America, dammit, And I'm cheering for Israel and people

495
00:29:39,280 --> 00:29:42,720
Speaker 3: who are theocratic lunatics who say they want to murder us.

496
00:29:43,320 --> 00:29:46,280
Speaker 3: I am not dismayed that we are seeing a military

497
00:29:46,320 --> 00:29:49,040
Speaker 3: force stand up and take them out, and in particular

498
00:29:49,240 --> 00:29:54,440
Speaker 3: take out their nuclear capacity. That is critically important. We

499
00:29:54,520 --> 00:29:58,160
Speaker 3: do not want people who want to murder us to

500
00:29:58,360 --> 00:30:02,200
Speaker 3: have the tools to do so. And I think Israel's

501
00:30:02,240 --> 00:30:04,840
Speaker 3: attack did enormous benefit to America.

502
00:30:05,520 --> 00:30:08,040
Speaker 2: You mentioned taking away their tools, and one of their

503
00:30:08,040 --> 00:30:10,920
Speaker 2: tools was going after their scientists. I mean, this is

504
00:30:10,960 --> 00:30:15,360
Speaker 2: the brains behind everything. This took a lot of planning

505
00:30:15,840 --> 00:30:18,800
Speaker 2: and apparently as incredibly successful as well. I mean, this

506
00:30:18,880 --> 00:30:23,560
Speaker 2: is taking out their nervous system, of the computer system,

507
00:30:23,600 --> 00:30:26,560
Speaker 2: whatever you want to call it, for their nuclear program

508
00:30:26,600 --> 00:30:27,800
Speaker 2: by going after the scientists.

509
00:30:27,800 --> 00:30:29,840
Speaker 1: It's absolutely brilliant, and they pulled it off.

510
00:30:30,400 --> 00:30:35,520
Speaker 3: They did, it was executed with amazing precision. Now it's early. Look,

511
00:30:35,800 --> 00:30:38,200
Speaker 3: you and I are both talking early in the morning

512
00:30:38,240 --> 00:30:43,320
Speaker 3: Friday morning. It is possible that problems developed later Friday,

513
00:30:43,400 --> 00:30:46,680
Speaker 3: later Saturday, later Sunday. One of the challenges of doing

514
00:30:46,760 --> 00:30:49,880
Speaker 3: a show like this at the beginning of military conflict

515
00:30:49,960 --> 00:30:52,160
Speaker 3: is you don't know how things will shake out. But

516
00:30:52,240 --> 00:30:54,480
Speaker 3: I will say this so Benjamin Etna, who is a

517
00:30:54,480 --> 00:30:59,640
Speaker 3: strong conservative one of his predecessors as Israeli Prime minister

518
00:31:00,240 --> 00:31:04,080
Speaker 3: was enough Tally Bennett. Now enough Tally had been previously

519
00:31:04,840 --> 00:31:09,680
Speaker 3: Netan Yaho's chief of staff. But then but then Bennett

520
00:31:10,400 --> 00:31:15,240
Speaker 3: broke with nen Yahoo and ended up becoming prime minister himself,

521
00:31:15,640 --> 00:31:19,120
Speaker 3: in significant part by opposing net Nyahu. But I want

522
00:31:19,160 --> 00:31:22,640
Speaker 3: you to listen to this clip a former Israeli Prime

523
00:31:22,640 --> 00:31:26,800
Speaker 3: Minister enough Tally Bennett talking about what this is all about.

524
00:31:26,880 --> 00:31:27,440
Speaker 1: Give a listen.

525
00:31:27,800 --> 00:31:33,200
Speaker 7: Well, israelis had a siren across the country indicating that

526
00:31:33,840 --> 00:31:37,680
Speaker 7: Israel's air force is a conducting a prempt to strike

527
00:31:38,040 --> 00:31:43,960
Speaker 7: against Iran's military facilities and perhaps also the nuclear facilities.

528
00:31:44,920 --> 00:31:47,920
Speaker 7: I want to remind you that Iran's about a week

529
00:31:47,960 --> 00:31:53,320
Speaker 7: away from being able to obtain the amount of enriched

530
00:31:53,440 --> 00:31:57,840
Speaker 7: uranium for ten bombs. So this is not me saying this.

531
00:31:57,840 --> 00:32:05,840
Speaker 7: This is the international nuclear community and the goal ultimately

532
00:32:05,880 --> 00:32:09,000
Speaker 7: will be to remove the nuclear threat from the Middle East.

533
00:32:09,120 --> 00:32:12,400
Speaker 7: And sitting the head of the octopus of terror that's

534
00:32:12,640 --> 00:32:16,240
Speaker 7: been causing all of the mess we've seen over the

535
00:32:16,280 --> 00:32:20,080
Speaker 7: past couple of years in the region, I mean, there

536
00:32:20,080 --> 00:32:20,520
Speaker 7: it is.

537
00:32:21,520 --> 00:32:26,160
Speaker 3: And I will say when today's Democrats in the Senate

538
00:32:26,160 --> 00:32:29,800
Speaker 3: and House are to the left of that are saying

539
00:32:29,920 --> 00:32:32,800
Speaker 3: do not attack Iran. And we're going to see I'm

540
00:32:32,840 --> 00:32:35,800
Speaker 3: going to make a prediction in the hours and days ahead,

541
00:32:36,240 --> 00:32:38,720
Speaker 3: we're going to see a massive rise in the attacks

542
00:32:38,720 --> 00:32:41,920
Speaker 3: from the anti Semitic left. And the anti Semitic left

543
00:32:41,960 --> 00:32:44,520
Speaker 3: is growing bigger and bigger, and so those who hate

544
00:32:44,560 --> 00:32:48,040
Speaker 3: Israel will be really vocal. And unfortunately there's also a

545
00:32:48,080 --> 00:32:50,960
Speaker 3: contingent on the anti Semitic right. The anti Semitic right

546
00:32:51,040 --> 00:32:54,000
Speaker 3: is smaller than the left, but both of them are

547
00:32:54,120 --> 00:32:57,920
Speaker 3: absolutely wrong, and you're going to see online people say

548
00:32:58,440 --> 00:33:01,800
Speaker 3: the Israelis are dragging us into war. I'm here to

549
00:33:01,840 --> 00:33:05,720
Speaker 3: tell you the Israelis are acting to prevent war, to

550
00:33:05,840 --> 00:33:09,960
Speaker 3: prevent Iran from getting nuclear weapons, and those nuclear weapons

551
00:33:10,000 --> 00:33:13,760
Speaker 3: could well be used to murder millions of Israelis or

552
00:33:13,800 --> 00:33:19,280
Speaker 3: millions of Americans, and so Israel is acting in self defense.

553
00:33:19,920 --> 00:33:24,560
Speaker 3: And I want to be clear, America stands with Israel.

554
00:33:24,880 --> 00:33:25,440
Speaker 1: Don't forget.

555
