Israel Dominates Tehran Skies as Trump Eyes War Entry · The Ben Ferguson Podcast

0:01
Speaker 1: We've got a new update for you on what is
0:03
Speaker 1: going on between Israel and Iran, and it involves the
0:06
Speaker 1: United States of America. We are now looking at what
0:10
Speaker 1: seems to be Iran on the run, as there is
0:13
Speaker 1: new reports coming out that the Mulas want to talk
0:16
Speaker 1: with Donald Trump to push a peace deal. This after
0:20
Speaker 1: Donald Trump made it clear, you've got sixty days to
0:22
Speaker 1: come up with something and to do what we've asked
0:25
Speaker 1: you to do with nuclear proliferation, and they said no. Well,
0:29
Speaker 1: now Donald Trump is saying, hey, We're okay to have
0:32
Speaker 1: this piece talk if you want to. Apparently Iran sent
0:35
Speaker 1: messages to both Israel and the United States that not
0:39
Speaker 1: only does it want to look to end the war,
0:42
Speaker 1: but also negotiate with President Trump, and that could mean
0:46
Speaker 1: giving up its nuclear richment program. Why simply to save
0:51
Speaker 1: the Iranian regime after Israel Is taking out top leadership
0:56
Speaker 1: in their government. The President now saying that this is
1:00
Speaker 1: quote achievable. Here's what he had to say at the
1:03
Speaker 1: G seven. Have you seen it?
1:06
Speaker 2: Have you heard any signals or seen any messages from
1:09
Speaker 2: intermediaries that Iran wishes to de escalate the conflict?
1:13
Speaker 3: Yeah?
1:14
Speaker 2: What have what have you heard?
1:15
Speaker 4: What if you heard from the Orians.
1:17
Speaker 5: They'd like to talk, but they should have done that before.
1:22
Speaker 5: I had sixty days and they had sixty days, And
1:24
Speaker 5: on the sixty first day, I said, we don't have
1:26
Speaker 5: a deal. They have to make a deal, and it's
1:30
Speaker 5: painful for both parties. But I'd say Iran is not
1:34
Speaker 5: winning this war and they should talk, and they should
1:37
Speaker 5: talk immediately before it's too late.
1:39
Speaker 2: And what would you say, in your opinion, what would
1:41
Speaker 2: it take for the US to get involved in this
1:44
Speaker 2: conflict militarily.
1:46
Speaker 3: I don't want to talk about that.
1:48
Speaker 1: President keeping it very close and tight lipped on what
1:52
Speaker 1: may be happening behind the scenes there. But Iran has
1:55
Speaker 1: sent a message now confirmed by multiple sources that is running.
2:00
Speaker 1: United States is getting the same message. They want to
2:02
Speaker 1: end negotiate with Trump. Giving up their nuclear enrichment program
2:06
Speaker 1: is on the table to save their running regime. Reports
2:10
Speaker 1: of Iran's eagerness to in the fight came as Israeli
2:12
Speaker 1: fighters came with a new attack, attacking the regime institutions
2:17
Speaker 1: in the capital city of Tehran. Now they have total
2:21
Speaker 1: air superiority over the nation, including the state broadcaster. After
2:27
Speaker 1: achieving total dominance of their entire air space.
2:31
Speaker 4: The Wall Street Journal putting it this way.
2:33
Speaker 1: Iran has been urgently signaling that it seeks an end
2:36
Speaker 1: to the hostilities and the resumption of talks over its
2:39
Speaker 1: suclear programs, sending messages to Israel and the usvi of
2:42
Speaker 1: Arab intermediaries, Middle Eastern and European officials as well. In
2:46
Speaker 1: the midst of a ferocious Israeli air campaign, Taran is
2:50
Speaker 1: told Arab officials it would be open to returning to
2:53
Speaker 1: the negotiating table as long as.
2:54
Speaker 4: The US doesn't join the attack.
2:57
Speaker 1: Iran also passed the messages to Israel, saying it is
2:59
Speaker 1: in the interests of both sides to keep the violence
3:02
Speaker 1: quote contained. The Israeli Prime Minister, Benjamin NETNAHUO has said
3:07
Speaker 1: the attacks will continue until iran nuclear program and their
3:13
Speaker 1: ballistic missiles are destroyed, and he has shown no indication
3:18
Speaker 1: that he is.
3:18
Speaker 4: Ready to stop.
3:20
Speaker 1: He has also said the regime change isn't a goal,
3:23
Speaker 1: but could be a result given the Iranian leadership's weakness. Now,
3:27
Speaker 1: Israel is unlikely to relent until it has destroyed most
3:31
Speaker 1: or all of Iran's ballistic missile launchers. Why, because they've
3:35
Speaker 1: been hit by those ballistic missiles and has cost Israeli lives. Now,
3:40
Speaker 1: this is something they've had to do with the Iron Dome,
3:42
Speaker 1: continuing to fight the fire, a barrage of these missiles
3:46
Speaker 1: coming at the Israeli citizens, most of this.
3:50
Speaker 4: Happening at night.
3:52
Speaker 3: Now.
3:53
Speaker 1: Netnahu has also been doing some interviews, and he's set
3:57
Speaker 1: down for an interview with ABC News News moments ago.
4:01
Speaker 1: I want you to hear what he had to say
4:04
Speaker 1: in that interview with ABC.
4:06
Speaker 4: Take a listen now an ABC News exclusive.
4:09
Speaker 6: I'm joined by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin nettan Yahoo, who
4:12
Speaker 6: comes to us from an undisclosed location in Israel. Mister
4:16
Speaker 6: Prime Minister, thank you for joining us. Let me start
4:19
Speaker 6: with the news that has just come in. The Wall
4:22
Speaker 6: Street Journal is reporting that Iran has been urgently signaling
4:26
Speaker 6: that it wants to end hostilities and to resume talks.
4:30
Speaker 3: Over its nuclear program.
4:31
Speaker 6: According to the Journal, they have been sending messages to
4:34
Speaker 6: Israel and the United States via Arab intermediaries. Have you
4:38
Speaker 6: received that message from the Iranians?
4:41
Speaker 3: Well, not directly, but I'm not surprised. I mean, they
4:44
Speaker 3: want to continue to have these fake talks in which
4:47
Speaker 3: they lie, they cheat, they string the US along, and
4:51
Speaker 3: you know, we have very solid intel on that. But
4:54
Speaker 3: of course they want to keep on building their nuclear
4:56
Speaker 3: weapons and building their mess ballistic arsenal which they're firing
5:01
Speaker 3: at our people. They want to continue to create the
5:04
Speaker 3: two existential threats against say Israel, while they're talking. That's
5:08
Speaker 3: not going to happen. You know, we're not at the
5:10
Speaker 3: eleventh hour. We're the twelfth hour, and we stopped. We
5:13
Speaker 3: acted to secure the life of the nation, and we're
5:17
Speaker 3: going to continue until we remove the two existential threats,
5:21
Speaker 3: the nuclear threat and the threat of twenty thousand ballistic
5:25
Speaker 3: missiles that are equivalent to two nuclear bombs. So they
5:28
Speaker 3: want to stop and keep it, but we are committed
5:31
Speaker 3: to removing those threats.
5:34
Speaker 6: So I think what I hear you're saying quite clearly
5:36
Speaker 6: is there will be no end to the Israeli bombing
5:40
Speaker 6: of Iran until you have accomplished your objective here. You're
5:45
Speaker 6: not going to stop for peace talks.
5:47
Speaker 3: Well, look, we had the peace talks. We gave it
5:50
Speaker 3: a chance. We've you know, clenched our teeth, we did
5:54
Speaker 3: everything we could to enable President Trump to negotiate the
5:59
Speaker 3: desired result, and that would have been preferable for us,
6:01
Speaker 3: and I think for everyone. But we saw in the
6:04
Speaker 3: course of the negotiations while they were negotiating with the
6:07
Speaker 3: United States, the Supreme Leader of Iran, Aetola Kamenai, tweeted
6:13
Speaker 3: almost every day death to Israel. The talks were merely
6:16
Speaker 3: a facade, and we absolutely if it could be achieved
6:20
Speaker 3: with the negotiations, fine, but it wasn't being achieved, so
6:23
Speaker 3: we had to act to safeguard our existence. You would
6:26
Speaker 3: do the same.
6:27
Speaker 6: But over the weekend we heard from President Trump on
6:31
Speaker 6: truth social say Iran and Israel should make a deal,
6:35
Speaker 6: and will make a deal. We will have peace soon
6:38
Speaker 6: between Israel and Iran. Many calls and meetings now taking place.
6:44
Speaker 6: So if President Trump asked you to stop the bombing
6:50
Speaker 6: campaign to resume these talks, would you do it.
6:53
Speaker 3: Well. President Trump has been a great leader, a great
6:56
Speaker 3: leader of the world, and a great leader and a
6:58
Speaker 3: great friend of Israel. And he put forward the terms
7:01
Speaker 3: very clearly in their negotiations. He said Iran cannot have
7:05
Speaker 3: a nuclear weapon, and in order for it not to
7:07
Speaker 3: have a nuclear weapon, it cannot have the capacity to
7:10
Speaker 3: enrich uranium, which is the prerequisite for nuclear weapons. Iran refused,
7:15
Speaker 3: just refuses all the time. It cheats, and it continues
7:18
Speaker 3: to try to weaponize the rich uranium they already have.
7:22
Speaker 3: They have nine atom bomb's worth of enriched uranium. They're
7:26
Speaker 3: working secretly, as we shared with the United States, they're
7:29
Speaker 3: working secretly to rapidly weaponize this. In a few months,
7:33
Speaker 3: they would have nuclear bombs. That's what they want to do.
7:35
Speaker 3: They want to continue training the US along build up
7:38
Speaker 3: those weapons. They don't want a seat at the table.
7:41
Speaker 3: They want to blow up the table. Well specifically, they
7:43
Speaker 3: want to blow up Israel and purchase time. And I
7:46
Speaker 3: think the US shares the intel. I know they share
7:49
Speaker 3: the intel because we share intel with each other. If
7:52
Speaker 3: it's fake talks, obviously not. If Iran will relinquish the
7:56
Speaker 3: means to destroy our country, then obviously it's pable to
8:00
Speaker 3: anything else. But that hasn't happened so far, and frankly,
8:03
Speaker 3: I doubt it's going to happen now.
8:05
Speaker 1: Net Yahoo being very clear like we're going to do
8:08
Speaker 1: what's best interest for our country, for our survival. Iran
8:12
Speaker 1: doesn't want to sit at the table. They want to
8:14
Speaker 1: blow up the table. And he's saying, hey, we're not
8:17
Speaker 1: going to be played because we've been dealing with these
8:19
Speaker 1: people forever.
8:20
Speaker 4: Now there are real consequences.
8:22
Speaker 1: And there's also a real problem now with Iran and
8:25
Speaker 1: the leadership in Tehran is that this country that acted
8:29
Speaker 1: like they were so powerful is actually extremely militarily weak.
8:36
Speaker 1: The air superiority that Israel has to do in essence
8:40
Speaker 1: right now, whatever they want to do over the country
8:42
Speaker 1: of Iran is shocking. This also, I think makes Iran
8:46
Speaker 1: more vulnerable to people around them now because now people
8:50
Speaker 1: realize how easy it is to actually go after Iran
8:53
Speaker 1: and look Iran through money and basic arms to terrorist
8:57
Speaker 1: groups from US has block et cetera. Deck and so
9:01
Speaker 1: there was a lot of people that thought, man, these
9:03
Speaker 1: guys have everything. They've almost got a nuclear weapon. This
9:07
Speaker 1: is a big problem. And what we're witnessing now is
9:10
Speaker 1: not only is there intelligence in serious trouble because so
9:15
Speaker 1: many of them that we're supposed to be hiding have
9:17
Speaker 1: been knocked down and are dead, but the regime now
9:21
Speaker 1: could easily be toppled if this continues.
9:24
Speaker 4: That's the second part of this problem.
9:28
Speaker 1: I want to get obviously more of this interview for you,
9:32
Speaker 1: because it's very interesting to hear what Nea who had
9:34
Speaker 1: to say this again from ABC News exclusively.
9:38
Speaker 6: But he said Iran and Israel should make a deal
9:42
Speaker 6: and will make a deal. How do you explain that disconnect?
9:47
Speaker 6: He seems very optimistic, in fact, seeming like he wants
9:52
Speaker 6: you to get back to the table, and get back
9:54
Speaker 6: to the table. Now you're saying there's no getting back
9:57
Speaker 6: to the table, and tell that the U the goals
10:00
Speaker 6: of the bombing campaign are achieved.
10:04
Speaker 3: Well, if the goals could be achieved through negotiations, fine,
10:07
Speaker 3: I said that to the President when I saw them
10:09
Speaker 3: in Washington. That didn't happen in the two months of
10:13
Speaker 3: negotiations that President Trump gave them. Right now, they thought
10:17
Speaker 3: that they could get away with it. They found that
10:18
Speaker 3: are very decisive and very precise military action against their
10:23
Speaker 3: nuclear program, against their ballistic missile program is effective. So
10:27
Speaker 3: now they want to stop it and continue on the
10:29
Speaker 3: side to continue to develop those two means of mass
10:33
Speaker 3: death that are meant to wipe Israel off the map.
10:36
Speaker 3: Commit and this is a battle you know that we
10:39
Speaker 3: have to assure as one. If it could be one diplomatically, fine, Frankly,
10:45
Speaker 3: it didn't happen diplomatically, and we had to act because
10:49
Speaker 3: We're not going to put our neck on a nuclear
10:51
Speaker 3: you know, to a nuclear knife and let them destroy us.
10:54
Speaker 3: We're fighting this larger war against this suppressive regime that
10:58
Speaker 3: is oppressed the Iranian people for six years, that has
11:01
Speaker 3: spread mayhem, violence and terror throughout the Middle East and
11:04
Speaker 3: well beyond. They try to assassinate President Trump twice. They
11:07
Speaker 3: try to kill me twice. They actually had their proxies
11:10
Speaker 3: shoot a drone right into my bedroom window. They are
11:14
Speaker 3: targeting every one of our ministers, the key ministers, for death.
11:18
Speaker 3: So they speak a good line, but they don't walk
11:21
Speaker 3: the walk. And again we have to remove that threat.
11:24
Speaker 3: And I think it's a larger battle. It's a battle
11:26
Speaker 3: of civilization against barbarism. This regime is the cult of death.
11:31
Speaker 3: Don't mistake make any mistakes about it. And sometimes, you know,
11:35
Speaker 3: the forces of civilization have to act before it's too late.
11:38
Speaker 3: We did, and we're going to remove those threats against
11:41
Speaker 3: our existence one way or the other. The Jewish people
11:44
Speaker 3: haven't traveled over time, this great odyssey of thirty five
11:47
Speaker 3: hundred years with some of the worst tragedies meted out
11:50
Speaker 3: to any people during their existence. We're not going to
11:54
Speaker 3: have a second holocaust. We'll do whatever is necessary to
11:57
Speaker 3: prevent that. And President Trump has been torific friend and
12:01
Speaker 3: a terrific leader, and I trust his judgment and we
12:04
Speaker 3: have together we know what needs to be done in
12:07
Speaker 3: order to assure that those two twin threats to our
12:12
Speaker 3: very survival, to the survival and the peace of the
12:14
Speaker 3: world are removed. So are you going to target the
12:17
Speaker 3: Supreme Leader? Look, we're doing what we need to do.
12:19
Speaker 3: I'm not going to get into the details, but we've
12:22
Speaker 3: targeted their top nuclear scientists. It's basically Hitler's nuclear team.
12:26
Speaker 3: You know, we got them. We still have work to
12:29
Speaker 3: do on other sites. We have targeted their ballistic missile
12:36
Speaker 3: manufacturing facilities. Understand this. You see these bombs. You saw
12:39
Speaker 3: a single bomb, it's one ton bomb John dropping on
12:44
Speaker 3: Tel Aviv and other places, causing killing men, women and children.
12:48
Speaker 3: They're deliberately targeting our population. We're not doing that. We're
12:52
Speaker 3: targeting their military sites, their nuclear sites, their ballistic missile sites,
12:57
Speaker 3: so they don't have twenty thousands of these that no
13:00
Speaker 3: country could survive with. Yeah, they want to continue stringing
13:04
Speaker 3: us along, but you know there's a limit because if
13:06
Speaker 3: we don't act now, there won't be a thirteenth hower,
13:10
Speaker 3: so we have to act. But what I'm saying is
13:12
Speaker 3: that we're not merely protecting ourselves. We're protecting everybody. We're
13:17
Speaker 3: protecting our Arab neighbors with whom we want to expand
13:20
Speaker 3: the peace as we did under President Trump's leadership in
13:23
Speaker 3: the Abraham Accords. That will be possible if Ran is defanged.
13:27
Speaker 3: We're also protecting the world. They have ballistic missiles that
13:30
Speaker 3: can now reach deep into Europe and soon could reach
13:32
Speaker 3: the United States. And imagine what this regime that caused
13:36
Speaker 3: death to America every time, that bombed your American embassies,
13:41
Speaker 3: that murdered two hundred forty one Marines in Beirut, that
13:44
Speaker 3: killed and injured thousands of American servicemen in Iraq and Afghanistan,
13:48
Speaker 3: that try to blow up a restaurant in Washington, that
13:52
Speaker 3: burns the American flag? Do you want these people to
13:55
Speaker 3: have nuclear weapons and the means to deliver them to
13:58
Speaker 3: your cities today? It's still a tomorrow, it's New York. Look,
14:02
Speaker 3: I understand America first, I don't understand America dead. That's
14:06
Speaker 3: what these people want. They chant death to America. So
14:09
Speaker 3: we're doing something that is in the service of mankind,
14:11
Speaker 3: of humanity, and it's a battle of good against the evil.
14:15
Speaker 3: America does should and does stand with the good. That's
14:19
Speaker 3: what President trum Trump is doing, and I deeply appreciate
14:22
Speaker 3: his support.
14:24
Speaker 1: I don't understand America, or he says, he said, I
14:27
Speaker 1: understand America first, I don't understand America dead. And that
14:31
Speaker 1: is an incredible moment in this interview where he's saying,
14:34
Speaker 1: we are dealing with the reality of the situation, and
14:38
Speaker 1: we're not going to sit here and act like this
14:41
Speaker 1: isn't happening. We know what Iran wants to do to us.
14:44
Speaker 1: They've made it clear. They've said it over and over again.
14:48
Speaker 1: They've given countless dollars to terrorist groups and organizations to
14:51
Speaker 1: come after us. We know that, and we've witnessed it,
14:55
Speaker 1: and they've killed our people. So why on Earth Earth
15:00
Speaker 1: would we sit here and wait for them to continue
15:04
Speaker 1: their mission, which we know what their mission actually is.
15:08
Speaker 1: It is to kill us. It is to wipe us
15:10
Speaker 1: off the face of the earth. They've said it. We
15:14
Speaker 1: believe them, We absolutely believe them. And I go back
15:20
Speaker 1: to the basic core points here. Israel has always had
15:23
Speaker 1: a right to defend themselves, but after what happened in
15:26
Speaker 1: October the seventh, they had a right to also make
15:28
Speaker 1: sure that they had the ability to defend themselves. And clearly,
15:32
Speaker 1: the way the situation was before that date was unfortunately
15:37
Speaker 1: not good enough. It was a false sense of security,
15:41
Speaker 1: and so they had to make a change.
15:44
Speaker 4: They had to do something different.
15:46
Speaker 1: They had to make sure that they made a real change,
15:49
Speaker 1: and they had to make sure that they never allowed
15:52
Speaker 1: it to happen again. It's very much the mentality that
15:54
Speaker 1: we had after nine to eleven, never again.
15:55
Speaker 3: Now.
15:56
Speaker 1: Unfortunately, who knows who we went in this country with
15:58
Speaker 1: our wide open borders, and we know that there's terrorists
16:01
Speaker 1: that we went into this country, and we know we're
16:02
Speaker 1: trying to find those terrorists, and it's a very very
16:04
Speaker 1: very very very very very big problem. But you look
16:09
Speaker 1: at what Israel went through on October seventh. It was there,
16:12
Speaker 1: It was there nine to eleven. Okay, it's the worst
16:15
Speaker 1: attack on the Jews since the Holocaust. And when you
16:19
Speaker 1: understand that, and when you look at what they are
16:22
Speaker 1: surrounded by and you look at the people that want
16:24
Speaker 1: to kill them, I cannot blame them for doing this.
16:28
Speaker 1: I cannot blame them at all, not one single bit
16:33
Speaker 1: can I can I blame them for what they are doing.
16:36
Speaker 1: And for people that are saying, oh, well, they must
16:39
Speaker 1: show restraint, how do you show restraint when when there's
16:41
Speaker 1: ballistic missiles that are coming at you?
16:45
Speaker 4: Serious question?
16:46
Speaker 1: How do you then show restraint when you are at
16:50
Speaker 1: night having to worry, and during the day having to worry,
16:53
Speaker 1: and when you fall asleep having to worry that you're
16:55
Speaker 1: never going to wake up because of some missile that's
16:57
Speaker 1: going to hit you, that they're going to overload the iron,
17:00
Speaker 1: and that some are going to get through and ballistic
17:02
Speaker 1: missiles are going to hit your apartment complex, because you
17:04
Speaker 1: have to understand they always target civilians. I am so
17:09
Speaker 1: tired of hearing the what about ism of well, what
17:12
Speaker 1: about this or what about that, or what about this
17:14
Speaker 1: or what? You have a right to defend yourself. I
17:16
Speaker 1: promise you we in America would never live this way.
17:20
Speaker 1: If we had rockets coming at us, whoever was doing it,
17:23
Speaker 1: they would have already.
17:24
Speaker 4: Been dead a long time ago. We would not put
17:27
Speaker 4: up with this crap.
17:28
Speaker 1: And yet, and yet there's so many in Americans, so
17:31
Speaker 1: many anti Semites, and so many in the media that
17:33
Speaker 1: are saying, well, Israel shouldn't be able to do this
17:35
Speaker 1: and shouldn't be able to protect themselves. Imagine if every night,
17:39
Speaker 1: or every other night, or every other week, you had
17:41
Speaker 1: somebody lobbing literal rockets into your backyard, into your home,
17:47
Speaker 1: hitting your neighbors' houses. How long would you put up
17:50
Speaker 1: with that? I want that to percolate in your mind,
17:53
Speaker 1: like how long would you put.
17:55
Speaker 3: Up with that?
17:56
Speaker 1: And people are like, well, Israel's just going too far
17:58
Speaker 1: and what they did in goz It, did they have
18:00
Speaker 1: any other choice?
18:01
Speaker 4: And I asked that question.
18:02
Speaker 1: Sincerely with all of the tunnels that were built underground,
18:05
Speaker 1: all the terrorism networks, I mean, the whole Gaza strip
18:08
Speaker 1: was a terrorists in essence, like perfectly built city for terrorism,
18:13
Speaker 1: and you witness what they did to you. Then then
18:15
Speaker 1: you again, you've got to go back to the basic question,
18:18
Speaker 1: how long would you live under the circumstances? I know
18:21
Speaker 1: how long I would live unto those like basically zero,
18:24
Speaker 1: the people that are shooting rockets at me, there's hell
18:27
Speaker 1: to pay. If terrorists are taking my family, my friends,
18:31
Speaker 1: there's hell to pay. And what Israel is doing right now,
18:35
Speaker 1: some would argue it's long overdue as we entered day
18:39
Speaker 1: six of the war between Iran and Israel, there are
18:42
Speaker 1: awful lot of headlines and we're gonna deal with many
18:45
Speaker 1: of them today, including Iran could resort to unconventional means
18:49
Speaker 1: of retaliation that coming from the regime. We also note
18:54
Speaker 1: the IDF underestimated the military strength. That was a criticism
18:58
Speaker 1: early on, but the reality seems that Iran doesn't have
19:02
Speaker 1: much of an answer. We have missile attacks going back
19:05
Speaker 1: and forth and shut down oil refineries in Iran, sirens,
19:10
Speaker 1: sonic booms, it's all now part of the daily life
19:14
Speaker 1: in both countries. We also know that Dettanya who said
19:17
Speaker 1: that they could in fact kill the Supreme leader of Iran.
19:21
Speaker 1: And then there's the other part, which is even bigger news.
19:25
Speaker 1: The President of the United States of America has left
19:28
Speaker 1: the G seven summit early, which brings us to the
19:32
Speaker 1: big part of the story. Monday night, the President departed
19:36
Speaker 1: a full day ahead of schedule.
19:38
Speaker 4: The White House side.
19:39
Speaker 1: Of the escalating tensions between Israel and Iran as the
19:43
Speaker 1: reason now. His early exit followed completing a working dinner
19:48
Speaker 1: with G seven leaders, after which he also chose not
19:52
Speaker 1: to sign the summit's Joint de escalation statement. Instead, he
19:57
Speaker 1: arged civilians in Tehran to a vacuum via social media post,
20:02
Speaker 1: signaling a firm and unilateral US stance with Israel. Trump
20:07
Speaker 1: also canceled key bilateral talks scheduled for Tuesday, including with
20:12
Speaker 1: Ukraine Zolensky and Mexico's president as well.
20:16
Speaker 4: And then there was the return to Washington, d C.
20:19
Speaker 1: Reuters reporting at this moment that as Trump flew back
20:23
Speaker 1: to DC, he requested that the National Security Council be
20:27
Speaker 1: on standby in the White House Situation Room to closely
20:31
Speaker 1: monitor developments within the Middle East. Additional news outlets also
20:36
Speaker 1: note that senior national security staff were assembling to prepare
20:40
Speaker 1: for his return, signaling heightened coordination. Now, the White House
20:44
Speaker 1: Press Secretary Caroline Levitt told the press that Trump's return
20:48
Speaker 1: was because of what's going on in the Middle East,
20:51
Speaker 1: not hiding the reality of the situation. And while in Canada,
20:54
Speaker 1: Trump secured a trade deal also that is not being
20:58
Speaker 1: really reported on with the UK, but refuse to join
21:01
Speaker 1: the G seven's collective statement as I mentioned earlier on
21:05
Speaker 1: the Israel Iran de escalation, underscoring his independent agenda. Now,
21:11
Speaker 1: the G seven hosts and other European leaders continued summit
21:15
Speaker 1: discussions without Trump to press quote for diplomatic pressure on
21:19
Speaker 1: the Iran Israel situation. So, in short, Trump's early departure
21:24
Speaker 1: from the summit was driven by immediate security concerns in
21:28
Speaker 1: the Middle East, and Trump is actively mobilizing his national
21:32
Speaker 1: security apparatus on his return, putting the NSC on standby
21:36
Speaker 1: to respond to the unfolding crisis.
21:39
Speaker 4: Now, let me be very clear.
21:41
Speaker 1: We also have another thing that's happening in the media,
21:44
Speaker 1: and it's the big lie that Donald Trump is some
21:46
Speaker 1: guy that wants massive war when clearly he's saying he
21:50
Speaker 1: wants peace. But he's also been clear about something else.
21:54
Speaker 1: There was no way that Iran would be allowed to
21:58
Speaker 1: have a nuclear weapon. How do we know this, Well,
22:01
Speaker 1: you can go back to when he was running for
22:03
Speaker 1: president in twenty and fifteen, and what did the presidents
22:07
Speaker 1: say then, and what has he been saying since then. Well,
22:10
Speaker 1: here's a little montage of the present, never wavering on
22:13
Speaker 1: his stands that Iran could never have a nuclear weapon.
22:19
Speaker 7: You cannot let Iran.
22:21
Speaker 5: Have a nuclear weapon.
22:22
Speaker 7: You cannot let it happen, because bad things will happen
22:25
Speaker 7: if that happens.
22:26
Speaker 4: But everybody stopped. They were ready to make a deal.
22:29
Speaker 4: We would have made a deal.
22:30
Speaker 3: It was great for everybody.
22:31
Speaker 4: No nuclear weapons. You can't give them nuclear weapons. Now
22:33
Speaker 4: they can have a nuclear weapon.
22:35
Speaker 8: Don't let Iran have nuclear weapons. That's my only thing
22:40
Speaker 8: I have to tell you today. Don't let them have it.
22:42
Speaker 8: They would have never had them, including around we would.
22:44
Speaker 8: They can't have a nuclear weapon. That's so they can't
22:47
Speaker 8: have nuclear weapons.
22:48
Speaker 7: It's too destructive, too powerful.
22:51
Speaker 4: They can't have it. But I wanted to make a
22:53
Speaker 4: deal with them.
22:54
Speaker 3: No nuclear weapons.
22:55
Speaker 7: You can't have nuclear weapons. Nuclear weapons are the single
22:58
Speaker 7: greatest threat to this world, to the whole world, and
23:01
Speaker 7: Victor Orban understands that, and some others do too.
23:04
Speaker 3: I just don't want them.
23:05
Speaker 8: To have a nuclear weapon, and they weren't going to
23:08
Speaker 8: have one, and they cannot have a nuclear weapon.
23:10
Speaker 4: That was the only thing, the one thing I said
23:12
Speaker 4: you cannot have.
23:13
Speaker 7: I just didn't want a Ran to have a nuclear weapon.
23:15
Speaker 7: I said, you know, we're going to make a great deal.
23:17
Speaker 7: Everybody's going to be happy, You're going to be rich
23:19
Speaker 7: as hell again, everything's going to be great. But you
23:21
Speaker 7: cannot have a nuclear weapon.
23:24
Speaker 2: You can't let a rant have nuclear weapons.
23:26
Speaker 4: I Ran cannot have a nuclear weapon. Very simple. They
23:30
Speaker 4: cannot have a nuclear weapon.
23:33
Speaker 7: Instead, we have a very hostile country that wants nuclear weapons.
23:39
Speaker 3: Can't let that happen.
23:41
Speaker 7: The main thing is I Ran can't have a nuclear weapon.
23:43
Speaker 7: That was my main thing. The deal was a simple deal.
23:45
Speaker 7: A rant can't have a nuclear you know, I can't
23:49
Speaker 7: have a missile, can't have a nuclear missile. It cannot
23:51
Speaker 7: have that nuclear capability.
23:54
Speaker 2: Aron should not have a nuclear weapon. They should have
23:57
Speaker 2: never been in a position where they could have had
23:59
Speaker 2: if I were president, and they wouldn't even be thinking
24:01
Speaker 2: about a nuclear weapon, and now they're months away from
24:04
Speaker 2: getting one.
24:05
Speaker 1: You go back to what the president said. He says
24:08
Speaker 1: it for a long time, whether it's trade in China
24:11
Speaker 1: taking advantage of America when he was saying it in
24:13
Speaker 1: the nineteen eighties that we need to have a trade
24:15
Speaker 1: war and we need to stop being taken advantage of,
24:18
Speaker 1: or if it's the more than sixteen minutes of a
24:22
Speaker 1: montage of President Trump's saying that Iran cannot be allowed
24:25
Speaker 1: to have a nuclear weapon over and over again. Iran
24:29
Speaker 1: cannot have a nuclear weapon. They can't have a nuclear weapon.
24:33
Speaker 1: Very simple, they can't have a nuclear weapon. We're not
24:35
Speaker 1: going to allow them to have a nuclear weapon. So
24:38
Speaker 1: why is the media now shocked and the rest of
24:41
Speaker 1: the world shocked that Donald Trump is actually standing up
24:44
Speaker 1: and saying yet again that Iran cannot have a nuclear weapon.
24:49
Speaker 1: It is truly amazing just how crazy the media has become.
24:54
Speaker 1: And now they want to say, oh, well, what's really
24:56
Speaker 1: happening here is Donald Trump is war mongering us into
25:00
Speaker 1: World War three.
25:02
Speaker 4: Here's what I can say.
25:03
Speaker 1: It is obvious that the President of the United States
25:05
Speaker 1: of America wasn't lying, and he was telling you the
25:08
Speaker 1: truth and fifteen and sixteen and seventeen and eighteen, in
25:11
Speaker 1: twenty nineteen and twenty twenty, twenty twenty one, two, twenty
25:16
Speaker 1: twenty three, twenty twenty four, and twenty twenty five. When
25:19
Speaker 1: he said that Iran cannot get a nuclear weapon. There's
25:25
Speaker 1: also something else that's happening right now in the Senate.
25:28
Speaker 1: Fifty two Republican senators are now agreeing with President Trump.
25:32
Speaker 1: Senator Cruz talking to Ben Shapiro saying this.
25:36
Speaker 9: Well, Bena, as you know, I led a letter of
25:38
Speaker 9: fifty two Republican senators that we all came together and
25:42
Speaker 9: we said we agree with President Donald J.
25:44
Speaker 3: Trump.
25:45
Speaker 9: President Trump has said repeatedly the red line is that
25:49
Speaker 9: Iran must have complete dismantlement of its enrichment capacity, that
25:54
Speaker 9: every centrifuse must be shut down. They must have no
25:57
Speaker 9: capacity to enrich uranium at all. Now, what President Trump
26:01
Speaker 9: said is you could either do that nicely through diplomacy,
26:04
Speaker 9: or you can do that through warfare.
26:06
Speaker 1: So it's very clear the President Trump is building a
26:09
Speaker 1: coalition with many members on Capitol Hill. And then there's
26:12
Speaker 1: also speculation about what could be next. In fact, according
26:16
Speaker 1: to Israeli Channel fourteen, President Trump, they are now reporting
26:22
Speaker 1: is expected their words to sign an order in the
26:26
Speaker 1: coming hours to formally join the war between Israel and Iran.
26:31
Speaker 1: Channel fourteen Israel saying this. There are also reports the
26:35
Speaker 1: US itself is already attacking Tehran. There is very very
26:40
Speaker 1: significant development in the coming hours that the Americans are
26:43
Speaker 1: behind them and are moving forces towards the Middle East,
26:46
Speaker 1: moving aircraft carriers and planes and general towards the Middle East,
26:51
Speaker 1: really to reinforce the forces and enter the war in
26:55
Speaker 1: a very very official way. Now again this is coming
26:59
Speaker 1: from Israel Channel fourteen. It is obvious that there's a
27:03
Speaker 1: lot that is moving right now. Some of it may
27:06
Speaker 1: turn out to be very real, other reports may be inaccurate.
27:10
Speaker 1: But there's one thing you can take to the bank.
27:13
Speaker 1: That is that Donald Trump is said over and over
27:15
Speaker 1: again that Iran cannot get a nuclear weapon. We know
27:21
Speaker 1: that Israel and the people there are under attack and
27:23
Speaker 1: surrounded on all sides. And it's also very clear that
27:26
Speaker 1: the President says we will stand with Israel, allowing Israel
27:30
Speaker 1: to protect and also to defend itself. Now, the Israeli
27:35
Speaker 1: ambassador also was on TV earlier saying this about what's happening, pulled.
27:40
Speaker 3: Off a number of surprises. When the dust settles, you're going.
27:44
Speaker 7: To see some surprises on Thursday night and Friday that
27:47
Speaker 7: will make the Beeper.
27:51
Speaker 1: Operation almost seem simple. That the Israeli ambassador saying that
27:57
Speaker 1: the world should expect a quote surprise later this week
28:00
Speaker 1: in its attacks on I ran that we'll make the
28:03
Speaker 1: Masad hesbela pager operation quote look simple. Now, the President
28:09
Speaker 1: of the United States of America leaving the summit to
28:13
Speaker 1: go back to Washington. What happens next for the US
28:16
Speaker 1: we don't know. But what we do know is that
28:18
Speaker 1: the President is clearly standing side by side with.
28:22
Speaker 4: Our ally Israel.
28:24
Speaker 1: Make sure you share this podcast with your family and friends,
28:27
Speaker 1: put it up on social media wherever you are, and
28:29
Speaker 1: we appreciate you listening every day.
28:31
Speaker 4: We'll see you back here tomorrow
