Transcript
- 0:01Speaker 1: We've got a new update for you on what is
- 0:03Speaker 1: going on between Israel and Iran, and it involves the
- 0:06Speaker 1: United States of America. We are now looking at what
- 0:10Speaker 1: seems to be Iran on the run, as there is
- 0:13Speaker 1: new reports coming out that the Mullahs want to talk
- 0:16Speaker 1: with Donald Trump to push a peace deal. This after
- 0:20Speaker 1: Donald Trump made it clear, you've got sixty days to
- 0:22Speaker 1: come up with something and to do what we've asked
- 0:25Speaker 1: you to do with nuclear proliferation, and they said no. Well,
- 0:29Speaker 1: now Donald Trump is saying, hey, We're okay to have
- 0:32Speaker 1: this piece talk if.
- 0:33Speaker 2: You want to.
- 0:34Speaker 1: That could mean giving up its nuclear enrichment program. Why,
- 0:39Speaker 1: simply to save the Iranian regime. After israel Is taking
- 0:43Speaker 1: out top leadership in their government, giving up their nuclear
- 0:47Speaker 1: richment program is on the table to save the Ranian regime.
- 0:51Speaker 1: Reports of Iran's eagerness to in the fight came as
- 0:54Speaker 1: Israeli fighters came with a new attack attacking the regime
- 0:59Speaker 1: institutions and the capital city of Tehran. Now they have
- 1:02Speaker 1: total air superiority over the nation, including the state broadcaster,
- 1:08Speaker 1: after achieving total dominance of their entire air space. The
- 1:13Speaker 1: Wall Street Journal putting it this way, Iran has been
- 1:16Speaker 1: urgently signaling that it seeks an end to the hostilities
- 1:19Speaker 1: and the resumption of talks over at zuclear programs. In
- 1:22Speaker 1: the midst of a ferocious Israeli air campaign. Taran has
- 1:26Speaker 1: told AIRB officials it would be open to returning to
- 1:29Speaker 1: the negotiating table as long as the US doesn't join
- 1:31Speaker 1: the attack. Iran also passed the messages to Israel, saying
- 1:35Speaker 1: it is in the interest of both sides to keep
- 1:38Speaker 1: the violence.
- 1:38Speaker 2: Quote contained the.
- 1:40Speaker 1: Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Ettnah who has said the attacks
- 1:44Speaker 1: will continue until iran zuclear program and their ballistic missiles
- 1:50Speaker 1: are destroyed, and he has shown no indication that he
- 1:54Speaker 1: is ready to stop. He has also said the regime
- 1:57Speaker 1: change isn't a goal, but it would be a result
- 2:00Speaker 1: given the Iranian leadership's weakness. Now, Israel is unlikely to
- 2:05Speaker 1: relent until it has destroyed most or all of Iran's
- 2:09Speaker 1: ballistic missile launchers. Why, because they've been hit by those
- 2:12Speaker 1: ballistic missiles and has cost Israeli lives. Now, this is
- 2:17Speaker 1: something they've had to do with the Iron Dome, continuing
- 2:19Speaker 1: to fight the fire. A barrage of these missiles coming
- 2:23Speaker 1: at the Israeli citizens. Most of this happening at night now.
- 2:28Speaker 1: Net Yahoo has also been doing some interviews, and he's
- 2:32Speaker 1: set down for an interview with ABC News moments ago.
- 2:37Speaker 1: I want you to hear what he had to say
- 2:39Speaker 1: in that interview with ABC.
- 2:41Speaker 3: Take a listen now when ABC News exclusive.
- 2:45Speaker 4: I'm joined by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who comes
- 2:48Speaker 4: to us from an undisclosed location in Israel. Mister Prime Minister,
- 2:52Speaker 4: thank you for joining us. Let me start with the
- 2:56Speaker 4: news that has just come in. The Wall Street Journal
- 2:58Speaker 4: is reporting that Iran has been urgently signaling that it
- 3:02Speaker 4: wants to end hostilities and to resume talks over its
- 3:06Speaker 4: nuclear program. According to the journal, they have been sending
- 3:09Speaker 4: messages to Israel and the United States via Arab intermediaries.
- 3:13Speaker 3: Have you received that message from the Iranians.
- 3:17Speaker 5: Well, not directly, but I'm not surprised. I mean, they
- 3:20Speaker 5: want to continue to have these fake talks in which
- 3:23Speaker 5: they lie, they cheat, they string the US along, and
- 3:27Speaker 5: you know, we have very solid intel on that. But
- 3:29Speaker 5: of course they want to keep on building their nuclear
- 3:32Speaker 5: weapons and building their mass ballistic missile arsenal which they're
- 3:36Speaker 5: firing at our people. They want to continue to create
- 3:39Speaker 5: the two existential threats against say Isel while they're talking.
- 3:43Speaker 5: That's not going to happen. You know, we're not at
- 3:45Speaker 5: the eleventh hour. We're the twelfth hour, and we stop.
- 3:48Speaker 5: We acted to secure the life of the nation, and
- 3:52Speaker 5: we're going to continue until we remove the two existential threats,
- 3:56Speaker 5: the nuclear threat and the threat of twenty thousand ballistic
- 4:00Speaker 5: missiles that are equivalent to two nuclear bombs. So they
- 4:03Speaker 5: want to stop and keep it, but we are committed
- 4:07Speaker 5: to removing those threats.
- 4:09Speaker 4: So I think what I hear you're saying quite clearly
- 4:12Speaker 4: is there will be no end to the Israeli bombing
- 4:16Speaker 4: of Iran until you have accomplished your objective here. You're
- 4:20Speaker 4: not going to stop for peace talks.
- 4:23Speaker 5: Well, look, we had the peace talks. We gave it
- 4:25Speaker 5: a chance. We've you know, clenched our teeth, we did
- 4:29Speaker 5: everything we could to enable President Trump to negotiate the
- 4:34Speaker 5: desired result, and that would have been preferable for us
- 4:37Speaker 5: and I think for everyone. But we saw in the
- 4:39Speaker 5: course of the negotiations, while they were negotiating with the
- 4:42Speaker 5: United States, the Supreme Leader of Iran, Aetola Kaminai, tweeted
- 4:48Speaker 5: almost every day, death to Israel. The talks were merely
- 4:52Speaker 5: a facade, and we absolutely if it could be achieved
- 4:55Speaker 5: with the negotiations, fine, but it wasn't being achieved, so
- 4:58Speaker 5: we had to act to safeguard our existence. You would
- 5:01Speaker 5: do the same.
- 5:03Speaker 4: But over the weekend we heard from President and Trump
- 5:06Speaker 4: on truth social say Iran and Israel should make a deal,
- 5:11Speaker 4: and will make a deal. We will have peace soon
- 5:14Speaker 4: between Israel and Iran. Many calls and meetings now taking place.
- 5:19Speaker 4: So if President and Trump asked you to stop the
- 5:25Speaker 4: bombing campaign to resume these talks, would you do it?
- 5:29Speaker 3: Well.
- 5:29Speaker 5: President Trump has been a great leader, a great leader
- 5:31Speaker 5: of the world, and a great leader and a great
- 5:34Speaker 5: friend of Israel. And he put forward the terms very
- 5:37Speaker 5: clearly in their negotiations. He said, Iran cannot have a
- 5:40Speaker 5: nuclear weapon, and in order for it not to have
- 5:42Speaker 5: a nuclear weapon, it cannot have the capacity to enrich uranium,
- 5:47Speaker 5: is the prerequisite for nuclear weapons. Iran refused. It just
- 5:50Speaker 5: refuses all the time, It cheats, and it continues to
- 5:54Speaker 5: try to weaponize the rich uranium they already have. They
- 5:57Speaker 5: have nine Adam bombs worth of enriched uranium they're working secretly,
- 6:03Speaker 5: as we shared with the United States, they're working secretly
- 6:06Speaker 5: to rapidly weaponize this. In a few months, they would
- 6:09Speaker 5: have nuclear bombs. That's what they want to do. They
- 6:11Speaker 5: want to continue stringing the US along, build up those weapons.
- 6:15Speaker 5: They don't want to seat at the table. They want
- 6:17Speaker 5: to blow up the table. Specifically, they want to blow
- 6:19Speaker 5: up Israel and purchase time. And I think the US
- 6:22Speaker 5: shares the until I know they share the intel because
- 6:25Speaker 5: we share an intel with each other. If it's fake talks,
- 6:28Speaker 5: obviously not. If you run, we'll relinquish the means to
- 6:32Speaker 5: destroy our country, then obviously it's preferable to anything else.
- 6:36Speaker 5: But that hasn't happened so far, and frankly, I doubt
- 6:39Speaker 5: it's going to happen now.
- 6:40Speaker 1: Net Yahu being very clear, we're going to do what's
- 6:44Speaker 1: best interest for our country for our survival. Iran doesn't
- 6:47Speaker 1: want to sit at the table. They want to blow
- 6:50Speaker 1: up the table. And he's saying, hey, we're not going
- 6:53Speaker 1: to be played because we've been dealing with these people forever.
- 6:55Speaker 1: Now there are real consequences, and there's also a real
- 6:59Speaker 1: problem now with Iran and the leadership in Tehran. Is
- 7:03Speaker 1: that this country that acted like they were so powerful
- 7:07Speaker 1: is actually extremely militarily weak. The air superiority that Israel
- 7:14Speaker 1: has to do in essence right now whatever they want
- 7:16Speaker 1: to do over the country of Iran is shocking. This also,
- 7:20Speaker 1: I think makes Iran more vulnerable to people around them
- 7:23Speaker 1: now because now people realize how easy it is to
- 7:27Speaker 1: actually go after Iran and look Iran through money and
- 7:31Speaker 1: basic arms to terrorist groups of US has block et
- 7:34Speaker 1: cetera for decades, and so there was a lot of
- 7:37Speaker 1: people that thought, man, these guys have everything. They've almost
- 7:40Speaker 1: got a nuclear weapon. This is a big problem. And
- 7:44Speaker 1: what we're witnessing now is not only is there intelligence
- 7:48Speaker 1: in serious trouble because so many of them that we're
- 7:52Speaker 1: supposed to be hiding have been knocked out and are dead,
- 7:56Speaker 1: but the regime now could easily be toppled if this continues.
- 8:00Speaker 1: And that's the second part of this problem. I want
- 8:04Speaker 1: to get, obviously, more of this interview for you, because
- 8:07Speaker 1: it's very interesting to hear what Netna who had to
- 8:09Speaker 1: say this again from ABC News exclusively, but.
- 8:13Speaker 4: He said Iran and Israel should make a deal and
- 8:18Speaker 4: will make a deal. How do you explain that disconnect.
- 8:23Speaker 4: He seems very optimistic, in fact, seeming like he wants
- 8:27Speaker 4: you to get back to the table and get back
- 8:29Speaker 4: to the table. Now you're saying there's no getting back
- 8:32Speaker 4: to the table and tell that the goals of the
- 8:36Speaker 4: bombing campaign are achieved.
- 8:39Speaker 5: Well, if the goals could be achieved through negotiations, fine,
- 8:42Speaker 5: I said that to the President when I saw him
- 8:44Speaker 5: in Washington. That didn't happen in the two months of
- 8:48Speaker 5: negotiations that President Trump gave them. Right now, they thought
- 8:52Speaker 5: that they could get away with it. They found that
- 8:54Speaker 5: are very decisive and very precise military action against their
- 8:58Speaker 5: nuclear program, against theistic missile program is effective. So now
- 9:03Speaker 5: they want to stop it and continue on the side
- 9:05Speaker 5: to continue to develop those two means of mass death
- 9:09Speaker 5: that are meant to wipe Israel off the map and
- 9:11Speaker 5: commit and this is a battle you know that we
- 9:15Speaker 5: have to assure as one. If it could be one diplomatically, fine, Frankly,
- 9:20Speaker 5: it didn't happen diplomatically, and we had to act because
- 9:24Speaker 5: we're not going to put our neck on a nuclear
- 9:26Speaker 5: you know, to a nuclear knife and let them destroy us.
- 9:29Speaker 5: We're fighting this larger war against this suppressive regime that
- 9:33Speaker 5: has oppressed the Iranian people for forty six years. That
- 9:36Speaker 5: has spread mayhem, violence and terror throughout the Middle East
- 9:39Speaker 5: and well beyond. They try to assassinate President Trump twice.
- 9:42Speaker 5: They try to kill me twice. They actually had their
- 9:45Speaker 5: proxies shoot a drone right into my bedroom window. They
- 9:49Speaker 5: are targeting every one of our ministers, a key ministers
- 9:53Speaker 5: for death. So they speak a good line, but they
- 9:55Speaker 5: don't walk the walk. And again, we have to remove
- 9:59Speaker 5: that threat. And I think it's a larger battle. It's
- 10:01Speaker 5: a battle of civilization against barbarism. This regime is the
- 10:05Speaker 5: cult of death. Don't mistake make any mistakes about it.
- 10:08Speaker 5: And sometimes you know, the forces of civilization have to
- 10:11Speaker 5: act before it's too late. We did, and we're going
- 10:14Speaker 5: to remove those threats against our existence one way or
- 10:17Speaker 5: the other. The Jewish people haven't traveled over time, this
- 10:20Speaker 5: great odyssey of thirty five hundred years with some of
- 10:23Speaker 5: the worst tragedies metted out to any people during their existence.
- 10:28Speaker 5: We're not going to have a second Holocaust. We'll do
- 10:31Speaker 5: whatever is necessary to prevent that. And President Trump has
- 10:34Speaker 5: been a terrific friend and a terrific leader, and I
- 10:38Speaker 5: trust his judgment and we have together, we know what
- 10:41Speaker 5: needs to be done in order to assure that those
- 10:44Speaker 5: two twin threats to our very survival, to the survival
- 10:48Speaker 5: and the peace of the world are removed.
- 10:51Speaker 3: So are you going to target the Supreme Leader?
- 10:53Speaker 5: Look, we're doing what we need to do. I'm not
- 10:55Speaker 5: going to get into the details. But we've targeted their
- 10:58Speaker 5: top nuclear scientists, basically Hitler's nuclear team. You know, we
- 11:02Speaker 5: got them. We still have work to do on other sites.
- 11:07Speaker 5: We have targeted their ballistic missile manufacturing facilities.
- 11:12Speaker 2: Understand this.
- 11:13Speaker 5: You see these bombs. You saw a single bomb, it's
- 11:16Speaker 5: one ton bomb John dropping on Tel Aviv and other places,
- 11:21Speaker 5: causing killing men, women and children. They're deliberately targeting our population.
- 11:25Speaker 5: We're not doing that. We're targeting their military sites, their
- 11:29Speaker 5: nuclear sites, their ballistic missile sites, so they don't have
- 11:33Speaker 5: twenty thousands of these that no country could survive with. Yeah,
- 11:37Speaker 5: they want to continue stringing us along, but you know
- 11:40Speaker 5: there's a limit because if we don't act now, there
- 11:43Speaker 5: won't be a thirteenth hower. So we have to act.
- 11:46Speaker 5: But what I'm saying is that we're not merely protecting ourselves.
- 11:50Speaker 5: We're protecting everybody. We're protecting our Arab neighbors, with whom
- 11:54Speaker 5: we want to expand the piece as we did under
- 11:56Speaker 5: President Trump's leadership in the abram Accords, will be possible
- 12:01Speaker 5: if Ran is defanged. We're also protecting the world. They
- 12:04Speaker 5: have ballistic missiles that can now reach deep into Europe
- 12:07Speaker 5: and soon could reach the United States. And imagine what
- 12:09Speaker 5: this regime that calls death to America every time that
- 12:14Speaker 5: bombed your American embassies, that murdered two hundred forty one
- 12:18Speaker 5: Marines in Beirut, that killed and injured thousands of American
- 12:21Speaker 5: servicemen in Iraq and Afghanistan, that try to blow up
- 12:24Speaker 5: a restaurant in Washington, that burns the American flag? Do
- 12:29Speaker 5: you want these people to have nuclear weapons and the
- 12:32Speaker 5: means to deliver them to your cities? Today it's tell Aviv,
- 12:35Speaker 5: Tomorrow it's New York. Look, I understand America first, I
- 12:39Speaker 5: don't understand America dead. That's what these people want. They
- 12:42Speaker 5: chant death to America. So we're doing something that is
- 12:45Speaker 5: in the service of mankind, of humanity, and it's a
- 12:48Speaker 5: battle of good against evil. America does should and does
- 12:53Speaker 5: stand with the good. That's what President Trump is doing
- 12:56Speaker 5: and I deeply appreciate his support.
- 12:59Speaker 1: I don't understand America or he says, he said, I
- 13:02Speaker 1: understand America first, I don't understand America dead. And that
- 13:06Speaker 1: is an incredible moment in this interview where he's saying,
- 13:09Speaker 1: we are dealing with the reality of the situation, and
- 13:13Speaker 1: we're not going to sit here and act like this
- 13:16Speaker 1: isn't happening. We know what Iran wants to do to us.
- 13:20Speaker 1: They've made it clear, They've said it over and over again.
- 13:23Speaker 1: They've given countless dollars to terrorist groups and organizations to
- 13:26Speaker 1: come after us. We know that, and we've witnessed it,
- 13:30Speaker 1: and they've killed our people. So why on earth would
- 13:36Speaker 1: we sit here and wait for them to continue their mission,
- 13:40Speaker 1: which we know what their mission actually is. It is
- 13:44Speaker 1: to kill us. It is to wipe us off the
- 13:46Speaker 1: face of the earth. They've said it. We believe them,
- 13:51Speaker 1: We absolutely believe them. And I go back to the
- 13:55Speaker 1: basic core points here. Israel has always had a right
- 13:59Speaker 1: to defend themselves, but after what happened in October the seventh,
- 14:02Speaker 1: they had a right to also make sure that they
- 14:05Speaker 1: had the ability to defend themselves. And clearly, the way
- 14:08Speaker 1: the situation was before that date was unfortunately not good enough.
- 14:13Speaker 1: It was a false sense of security, and so they
- 14:17Speaker 1: had to make a change. They had to do something different.
- 14:21Speaker 1: They had to make sure that they made a real change,
- 14:24Speaker 1: and they had to make sure that they never allowed
- 14:27Speaker 1: it to happen again.
- 14:28Speaker 2: It's very much the mentality that we had after nine
- 14:30Speaker 2: to eleven. Never again. Now.
- 14:31Speaker 1: Unfortunately, who knows who we led in this country with
- 14:33Speaker 1: our wide open borders, and we know that there's terrorists
- 14:36Speaker 1: that we led into this country, and we know we're
- 14:37Speaker 1: trying to find those terrorists, and it's a very very
- 14:40Speaker 1: very very very very very big problem. But you look
- 14:45Speaker 1: at what Israel went through on October the seventh, It
- 14:47Speaker 1: was there nine eleven. Okay, it's the worst attack on
- 14:51Speaker 1: the Jews since the Holocaust. And when you understand that,
- 14:56Speaker 1: and when you look at what they are surrounded by
- 14:58Speaker 1: and you look at the people that want kill them,
- 15:00Speaker 1: I cannot blame them for doing this. I cannot blame
- 15:04Speaker 1: them at all, not one single bit can can I
- 15:09Speaker 1: blame them for what they are doing? And for people
- 15:12Speaker 1: that are saying, oh, well, they must show restraint, how
- 15:15Speaker 1: do you show restraint when there's ballistic missiles that are
- 15:18Speaker 1: coming at you. Serious question, how do you then show
- 15:22Speaker 1: restraint when you were at night having to worry, and
- 15:26Speaker 1: during the day having to worry, and when you fall asleep,
- 15:29Speaker 1: having to worry that you're never going to wake up
- 15:31Speaker 1: because of some missile that's going to hit you, that
- 15:33Speaker 1: they're going to overload the iron dome, and that some
- 15:35Speaker 1: are going to get through, and ballistic missiles are going
- 15:37Speaker 1: to hit your apartment complex, because you have to understand
- 15:40Speaker 1: they always target civilians. I am so tired of hearing
- 15:45Speaker 1: the what about ism of well, what about this or
- 15:48Speaker 1: what about that, or what about this or what you
- 15:50Speaker 1: have a right to defend yourself. I promise you we
- 15:53Speaker 1: in America would never live this way. If we had
- 15:56Speaker 1: rockets coming at us, whoever was doing it, they would
- 15:59Speaker 1: have already been dead alone long time ago.
- 16:01Speaker 2: We would not put up with this crap.
- 16:03Speaker 1: And yet, and yet there's so many in Americans, so
- 16:06Speaker 1: many anti Semites, and so many in the media that
- 16:08Speaker 1: are saying, well, Israel shouldn't be able to do this
- 16:10Speaker 1: and shouldn't be able to protect themselves. Imagine if every night,
- 16:14Speaker 1: or every other night, or every other week, you had
- 16:17Speaker 1: somebody lobbing literal rockets into your backyard, into your home,
- 16:22Speaker 1: hitting your neighbors' houses. How long would you put up
- 16:25Speaker 1: with that? I want that to percolate in your mind,
- 16:28Speaker 1: like how long would you put up with that? And
- 16:31Speaker 1: people are like, well, Israel's just going too far and
- 16:34Speaker 1: what they did in Gaza, did they have any other choice?
- 16:36Speaker 1: And I asked that question sincerely, with all of the
- 16:39Speaker 1: tunnels that were built underground, all the terrorism networks, I mean,
- 16:42Speaker 1: the whole Gaza strip was a terrorist in essence, like
- 16:45Speaker 1: perfectly built city for terrorism, and you witness what they
- 16:49Speaker 1: did to you. Then then you again, You've got to
- 16:51Speaker 1: go back to the basic question, how long would you
- 16:54Speaker 1: live under those circumstances? I know how long I would
- 16:57Speaker 1: live under those like basically zero. The people that are
- 17:01Speaker 1: shooting rockets at me, there's hell to pay. If terrorists
- 17:05Speaker 1: are taking my family, my friends, there's hell to pay.
- 17:09Speaker 1: And what Israel is doing right now, some would argue
- 17:11Speaker 1: it's long overdue. There is a real chance now that
- 17:15Speaker 1: the United States of America may join Israel in the
- 17:19Speaker 1: war against Iran. Now, let me explain why this could
- 17:24Speaker 1: take place, and I also understand what war means. In
- 17:29Speaker 1: twenty twenty five, Number one, there is no chance that
- 17:33Speaker 1: Donald Trump is going to put troops on the ground.
- 17:37Speaker 1: There will be no boots on the ground. That is
- 17:39Speaker 1: not what this means. That's number one. Number two, this
- 17:43Speaker 1: is not an invasion of Iraq or Afghanistan, which there
- 17:46Speaker 1: have been many that have been lying about.
- 17:48Speaker 2: That over the last several hours. So I want to
- 17:50Speaker 2: clear that up.
- 17:50Speaker 1: In fact, I've talked to several of my good friends
- 17:53Speaker 1: that work in the administration and they're saying that is
- 17:57Speaker 1: not even a remote possibility. What Donald Trump is saying
- 18:02Speaker 1: t Iran is simple surrender.
- 18:05Speaker 2: That's it.
- 18:06Speaker 1: Surrender and do the deal on your nuclear program or
- 18:11Speaker 1: prepare for your nuclear program to be annihilated. That is
- 18:15Speaker 1: what he is saying. And he's not mincing words on
- 18:18Speaker 1: this either, because as Donald Trump has said, look, we
- 18:23Speaker 1: can take total control of Iranian airspace as Israel is done.
- 18:27Speaker 1: And we also know where the Iotota is hiding. Now
- 18:30Speaker 1: we're not going to kill him right now. But he's
- 18:32Speaker 1: telling you Ittola, like you want to die, fine, like
- 18:34Speaker 1: we can make that happen. We know where you are
- 18:37Speaker 1: and we can kill you. We would rather not do that,
- 18:40Speaker 1: but if you want to stand in power, then you
- 18:41Speaker 1: better do the damn deal. And so what would this
- 18:45Speaker 1: look like is I think a better way of putting it.
- 18:50Speaker 1: If we did get involved, it would actually.
- 18:52Speaker 2: Be very very simple.
- 18:55Speaker 1: We would use the technology that I think we're the
- 18:58Speaker 1: only country that has it to go after this nuclear
- 19:01Speaker 1: site that is very deep underground in Iran. Israel does
- 19:07Speaker 1: not have the technology to hit that deep. That's part
- 19:10Speaker 1: of what you need to understand. So again I go
- 19:12Speaker 1: back to the basic thing. Is this something that America needs?
- 19:15Speaker 3: Do?
- 19:15Speaker 5: Yes?
- 19:16Speaker 2: I believe that it is. I really do.
- 19:18Speaker 1: I believe this isn't our best interest for us to
- 19:22Speaker 1: make sure that there is an Iran that uh is
- 19:26Speaker 1: not nuclear right.
- 19:28Speaker 2: And Donald Trump's also been.
- 19:29Speaker 1: Clear about this for quite some time and finked in fact,
- 19:33Speaker 1: he's he has been so clear on this since the
- 19:36Speaker 1: day came down the elevator ten years and one day ago.
- 19:40Speaker 1: Are ten years and two days ago, where he said
- 19:42Speaker 1: to the world that there's no circumstance where Ran can
- 19:46Speaker 1: get a nuclear weapon. There's no circumstance where Ran can
- 19:51Speaker 1: get a nuclear weapon. That is significant and the President
- 19:55Speaker 1: is not bluffing on this, okay, Like the President has
- 19:59Speaker 1: made it very clear that you can't trust them, now,
- 20:02Speaker 1: Why can't you trust them? Because they're a murders regime, like,
- 20:06Speaker 1: that's what they are, and they chant death to America
- 20:10Speaker 1: and they chant death to Israel. So when that's what
- 20:13Speaker 1: they do and that is what they say, then I
- 20:16Speaker 1: think you just say, Okay, I actually believe you. I
- 20:20Speaker 1: believe you when you tell me that you want to
- 20:22Speaker 1: kill innocent men, women, children that are Americans, and you
- 20:26Speaker 1: want to annihilate the Jews. And if you have a
- 20:29Speaker 1: nuclear weapon, you will either do it or you'll give
- 20:31Speaker 1: it to one of your terrorist proxy groups that you
- 20:33Speaker 1: support and they will do it. There's also a second
- 20:36Speaker 1: part of what's happening right now that I think people
- 20:38Speaker 1: need to understand as well, and that second part is this.
- 20:44Speaker 1: The President is also I think inspiring the people of
- 20:49Speaker 1: Iran and especially specifically in Tehran, to understand that, hey,
- 20:53Speaker 1: your government may not be as powerful as they actually
- 20:58Speaker 1: have been able to make you believe. In fact, they're
- 21:01Speaker 1: incredibly vulnerable. Look at the traffic jams and the people
- 21:06Speaker 1: leaving Tehran as the President said, leave evacuate. They weren't
- 21:12Speaker 1: listening to the leadership in Iran like that. That's something
- 21:15Speaker 1: they were not doing. They were listening to the American
- 21:18Speaker 1: President of the United States of America and they were leaving
- 21:21Speaker 1: because the President said to evacuate Tehran. And when he
- 21:25Speaker 1: did that, I think that also sent a very clear
- 21:28Speaker 1: message like, hey, your guys claim that they're in charge
- 21:31Speaker 1: of your country, that are holding you back and oppressing
- 21:33Speaker 1: you in are brutal dictators of a murder's regime, like
- 21:38Speaker 1: they may be a lot more vulnerable than you actually understand. Also,
- 21:43Speaker 1: having air superiority is part three of this. The fact
- 21:49Speaker 1: that Iran was able to be decimated when it comes
- 21:53Speaker 1: to their air power virtually instantly by Israel, and now
- 21:59Speaker 1: Israel can do whatever they want to do whenever they
- 22:01Speaker 1: want to do it, however they want to do it.
- 22:03Speaker 2: Over the skies of Israel, of Iran.
- 22:07Speaker 1: It is also incredibly telling, like it is unbelievable now
- 22:13Speaker 1: what we're looking at, and I mean this like it
- 22:16Speaker 1: is it is just amazing to me that we have
- 22:20Speaker 1: seen how quickly Iran has been just decimated and now
- 22:24Speaker 1: you can do whatever you want to do. Now you
- 22:27Speaker 1: put all this together in a perfect storm where we
- 22:31Speaker 1: are now. And this is also I think a foreign
- 22:34Speaker 1: policy issue. Er we're sitting the president saying the message
- 22:36Speaker 1: of the world. Like if I tell you, whether it's
- 22:39Speaker 1: tariffs or a nuclear program, that this is the deal,
- 22:42Speaker 1: and you don't believe me, watch how fast you find out?
- 22:46Speaker 1: Like this goes back to that FAFO mentality of this
- 22:49Speaker 1: of this administration, Like watch and find out. You are
- 22:53Speaker 1: the president returning to Washington after cutting the G seven
- 22:56Speaker 1: Canada trip short, You're the president saying, everybody, get to
- 22:59Speaker 1: get in the situation room. You have the president telling
- 23:02Speaker 1: that clearly the Vice president to go out and say, hey.
- 23:04Speaker 2: We may enter this war.
- 23:06Speaker 1: All of these different scenarios and just how quickly the
- 23:11Speaker 1: President is moving I think is just no one I
- 23:17Speaker 1: think believe the President would move this quick. And I
- 23:20Speaker 1: think he's shown people that like, hey, not only are
- 23:22Speaker 1: we going to move this quick, but you guys better
- 23:23Speaker 1: get the hell out of the way. Like when I
- 23:26Speaker 1: tell you something, if it's sixty days, and that was
- 23:28Speaker 1: a nice timeline that I gave you, right, it really was.
- 23:31Speaker 1: It was a nice timeline. And the sixty day timeline
- 23:34Speaker 1: that I gave you, you should have paid attention and you
- 23:36Speaker 1: should have listened. And if you would have listened, then
- 23:40Speaker 1: you wouldn't be in the scenario, and so if you're
- 23:42Speaker 1: the Iatota right now, you may lose everything. I think
- 23:45Speaker 1: that's also part of what the president is saying. You
- 23:48Speaker 1: want to lose everything.
- 23:50Speaker 2: You want to.
- 23:50Speaker 1: Lose all your power and your life because we know
- 23:53Speaker 1: where you are and I could kill you right now
- 23:57Speaker 1: if I want to. The Israelis could kill you right
- 24:00Speaker 1: now if they want to. There's no reason for you
- 24:02Speaker 1: trying to run high because we're gonna watch you. We
- 24:03Speaker 1: know where you are, we know where you're going, and
- 24:06Speaker 1: if you think for a moment that we can't kill you,
- 24:09Speaker 1: then you're an idiot. This is all part of the
- 24:13Speaker 1: presence piece through strengths, showing you here's your deadline, and
- 24:17Speaker 1: I'm not screwing around now. This deadline of sixty days
- 24:21Speaker 1: was I also think a very nice one.
- 24:22Speaker 2: I really do. I think it was a very nice deadline.
- 24:26Speaker 2: It was one that gave them not thirty days, but
- 24:27Speaker 2: sixty days to do this.
- 24:29Speaker 1: I think that's a positive like that was showing that
- 24:31Speaker 1: he was really willing to come together and he was
- 24:34Speaker 1: really willing to have a conversation. Unfortunately, Iran and their
- 24:40Speaker 1: you know, murderous regime, for some reason, thought they were
- 24:44Speaker 1: much more powerful they actually were. Well, all that's been
- 24:46Speaker 1: shot to hell now, like it's all just been shot
- 24:50Speaker 1: to hell. And so we're at a point now where
- 24:53Speaker 1: there are three different scenarios.
- 24:54Speaker 2: In my mind that can happen. Okay.
- 24:56Speaker 1: Number one, we could have total regime change ran and
- 25:00Speaker 1: that could happen actually quickly if the people rise up.
- 25:03Speaker 1: Number Two, we could actually take out the leader if
- 25:06Speaker 1: we need to, or Israel could take out the leader
- 25:09Speaker 1: if he needs to, and that could be significant as well.
- 25:12Speaker 1: Or three, they come to the deal and they surrender
- 25:15Speaker 1: and then everything just calms down very quickly. Those are
- 25:19Speaker 1: three very real and very different scenarios. By the way,
- 25:23Speaker 1: this is why I love doing the show in the
