Operation Rising Lion: Israel Strikes Iran’s Nuclear Core · The Ben Ferguson Podcast

0:01
Speaker 1: We start with the big breaking news and that is
0:04
Speaker 1: coming out of Israel. Israel has struck Iran, and Iran
0:09
Speaker 1: is now confirming that the IRGC terar chief Salami has
0:14
Speaker 1: also been eliminated. Benjamin Nettnahu announcing the operation as well,
0:21
Speaker 1: talking about what this means. And we also have found
0:23
Speaker 1: out that not only did Iran state run Islamic Republic
0:28
Speaker 1: News agency confirm in the early hours of Friday morning
0:32
Speaker 1: that the Israeli airstrike on targets in the country eliminated
0:35
Speaker 1: the major General Salami, the commander of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard.
0:41
Speaker 1: Other arms of Iran state news apparatus also confirm this.
0:46
Speaker 1: Several high profile regime members, including not one, but two
0:51
Speaker 1: of their top nuclear scientists. Now this is obviously massive
0:56
Speaker 1: because if you want to take out their nuclear program,
0:59
Speaker 1: taking out the scientist behind it is huge. It's very
1:03
Speaker 1: hard to get nuclear scientists to defect and come to Iran,
1:07
Speaker 1: so taking them out could put back their program literally years.
1:12
Speaker 1: They were killed in these strikes, and that is again massive. Now,
1:18
Speaker 1: Islami may be by far one of the highest ranking
1:22
Speaker 1: Iranian regime officials who have been targeted successfully in the operation.
1:27
Speaker 1: He is one of those that was important to take out,
1:30
Speaker 1: and Israel had planned this for quite some time and
1:32
Speaker 1: they were able to do it. Salami had to stay
1:35
Speaker 1: in a place. As one of the most prominent and
1:38
Speaker 1: also belligerent senior leaders in the Iranian Islamic regime. He
1:42
Speaker 1: regularly threatened attacks on America and Israel, and what was
1:47
Speaker 1: perhaps his final public appearance on Thursday, Salami declared that
1:52
Speaker 1: his forces were quote war tested and experienced, prepared for
1:57
Speaker 1: war against its enemies. Now that was just twenty four
2:01
Speaker 1: hours ago. He said that publicly now, the IRGC is
2:06
Speaker 1: both a US designated terrorist organization he was in charge
2:09
Speaker 1: of it, and a formal wing of the Iranian Armed Forces.
2:13
Speaker 1: Among its chief operations is to sustain relations between the
2:17
Speaker 1: Iranian terror state and its Jihadis proxies who does That
2:22
Speaker 1: include the Huthis and Yemen, the Lebanese Hesblah, and with
2:26
Speaker 1: fellow rogue states such as Venezuela and Cuba. The IRNA
2:31
Speaker 1: confirmed Solami's death and a brief message that offered no
2:34
Speaker 1: details on the occurrence. It just confirmed that Salami died
2:38
Speaker 1: in Tehran and claimed him a victim of assassination. Their
2:44
Speaker 1: words now also in a separate report, the state news
2:47
Speaker 1: outlet confirmed a barrage of air strikes over the capital
2:50
Speaker 1: city by the Israeli Air Force. Another Iranian state media outlet,
2:55
Speaker 1: press TV, reported early Friday that the strikes had march
3:00
Speaker 1: several other senior IRGC commanders and nuclear scientists. So we're
3:06
Speaker 1: getting lots of confirmation about how deadly and how surgical
3:10
Speaker 1: these strikes were on the top leadership in Iran veteran
3:14
Speaker 1: nuclear scientists. Two of them, in fact, they, as they
3:19
Speaker 1: described it, were martyred in the attack. Press TV reported,
3:22
Speaker 1: adding confirmation from now that at least one Iranian military leader,
3:27
Speaker 1: the chief of the Iranian Armed Forces also a major
3:31
Speaker 1: General Bagherry, is still alive and in Iran's war room
3:36
Speaker 1: quote plotting the nation's response. Now, The Times of Israel,
3:41
Speaker 1: citing Iranian state television, reported that Israel apparently also bombed
3:47
Speaker 1: one of the most prominent uranium enrichment facilities in the country,
3:53
Speaker 1: the facility known as the Natanz facility, and there was
3:58
Speaker 1: several hits apparently on that facility. It was scattered among
4:03
Speaker 1: anonymous reports as well on social media that this had
4:06
Speaker 1: also happened, and we also been told that there was
4:09
Speaker 1: disruptions and Iran by undercover MASAD agents have also now
4:14
Speaker 1: surfaced that Israel has not confirmed that. I want to
4:16
Speaker 1: be clear now. The Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Nettna who
4:20
Speaker 1: also confirmed the airstrikes during a national address on Friday morning,
4:24
Speaker 1: identifying the strikes as Operation Rising Lion. I want you
4:30
Speaker 1: to hear what Netnya who had to say as he
4:33
Speaker 1: addressed not only the people of Israel, but also the
4:36
Speaker 1: people of the world.
4:37
Speaker 2: Moments ago, Israel launched Operation Rising Lion, a targeted military
4:43
Speaker 2: operation to roll back the Iranian threat to Israel's very survival.
4:49
Speaker 2: This operation will continue for as many days as it
4:52
Speaker 2: takes to remove this threat. For decades, the tyrants of
4:56
Speaker 2: Tehran have brazenly openly called for Israel's destruction. They've backed
5:02
Speaker 2: up their genocidal rhetoric with a program to develop nuclear weapons.
5:07
Speaker 2: In recent years, Iran is produced enough highly enriched uranium
5:12
Speaker 2: for nine atom bombs. Nine In recent months, Iran has
5:17
Speaker 2: taken steps that it has never taken before, steps to
5:21
Speaker 2: weaponize this enriched uranium, and if not stopped, Iran could
5:25
Speaker 2: produce a nuclear weapon in a very short time. It
5:29
Speaker 2: could be a year. It could be within a few months,
5:31
Speaker 2: less than a year. This is a clear and present
5:34
Speaker 2: danger to Israel's very survival. Eighty years ago, the Jewish
5:39
Speaker 2: people were the victims of a holocaust perpetrated by the
5:43
Speaker 2: Nazi regime. Today, the Jewish state refuses to be a
5:47
Speaker 2: victim of a nuclear holocaust perpetrated by the Uranian regime. Now,
5:53
Speaker 2: as Prime Minister, I've made it clear time it again.
5:57
Speaker 2: Israel will never allow those who call for our annihilation
6:01
Speaker 2: to develop the means to achieve that goal. Tonight, Israel
6:04
Speaker 2: backs those words with action. We struck at the heart
6:08
Speaker 2: of Iran's nuclear enrichment program. We struck at the heart
6:12
Speaker 2: of Iran's nuclear weaponization program. We targeted Iran's main enrichment
6:17
Speaker 2: facility in Atans. We targeted Iran's leading nuclear scientists working
6:22
Speaker 2: on the Iranian bomb. We also struck at the heart
6:24
Speaker 2: of Iran's ballistic missile program. Last year, Iran fired three
6:29
Speaker 2: hundred ballistic missiles at Israel. Each of these missiles carries
6:34
Speaker 2: a ton of explosives and threatens the lives of hundreds
6:38
Speaker 2: of people. Soon, those missiles could carry a nuclear payload,
6:43
Speaker 2: threatening the lives not of hundreds, but of millions. Iran
6:47
Speaker 2: is gearing up to produce ten thousands of those ballistic
6:50
Speaker 2: missiles within three years.
6:54
Speaker 3: Now.
6:54
Speaker 2: Just imagine imagine ten thousand tons of TNT landing on
6:59
Speaker 2: a country the size of New Jersey. This is an
7:03
Speaker 2: intolerable threat. It too must be stopped. Iran is now
7:07
Speaker 2: working on what it calls the new plan to destroy Israel.
7:12
Speaker 2: See the old plan failed. Iran and its proxies try
7:16
Speaker 2: to encircle Israel with a ring of fire and to
7:19
Speaker 2: attack us with the horrible attack of October seventh. But
7:23
Speaker 2: the people of Israel, the soldiers of Israel, rose like
7:26
Speaker 2: lions to defend our country. We crushed from as we
7:30
Speaker 2: devastated Ribalah, We hid Iranian proxies in Syria and Yemen,
7:34
Speaker 2: and when Iran directly attacked us twice last year, we
7:37
Speaker 2: struck back inside Iran itself. Yet in defending ourselves, we
7:42
Speaker 2: also defend others. We defend our Arab neighbors. They too
7:46
Speaker 2: have suffered from Iran's campaign of chaos and carnage. Our
7:50
Speaker 2: actions against Iran's proxy Hizballah led to the establishment of
7:54
Speaker 2: a new government in Lebanon and the collapse of Asad's
7:58
Speaker 2: murderous regime in Syria. The peoples of those two countries
8:02
Speaker 2: now have a chance for a different future, a better future.
8:06
Speaker 2: So too, to the brave people of Iran, and I
8:09
Speaker 2: have a message for them. Our fight is not with you.
8:14
Speaker 2: Our fight is with the brutal dictatorship that has oppressed
8:17
Speaker 2: you for forty six years. I believe that the day
8:21
Speaker 2: of your liberation is near, and when that happens, the
8:25
Speaker 2: great friendship between our two ancient peoples will flourish once again.
8:30
Speaker 2: I want to assure the civilized world we will not
8:34
Speaker 2: let the world's most dangerous regime get the world's most
8:37
Speaker 2: dangerous weapons. And Iran plans to give those weapons nuclear
8:41
Speaker 2: weapons to its terrorist proxies that would make the nightmare
8:45
Speaker 2: of nuclear terrorism all too real. The increasing range of
8:49
Speaker 2: Iran's ballistic missiles would bring that nuclear nightmare to the
8:53
Speaker 2: cities of Europe and eventually to America.
8:59
Speaker 1: Now the Israeli Prime Minister net Now who also confirmed
9:02
Speaker 1: that these air strikes may not just be a one
9:04
Speaker 1: day and done, saying quote, this operation will continue for
9:07
Speaker 1: as many days as it takes, stating that the Iranian
9:10
Speaker 1: officials were actively taking steps to weaponize it's enriched uranium
9:14
Speaker 1: stockpile and calling on Tehran and saying they're a clear
9:18
Speaker 1: and present danger to Israel's survival and also to others
9:22
Speaker 1: in the world. Now, Center Cruz and I set down
9:26
Speaker 1: for our podcast that we do Verticquate Tech. Cruz and
9:29
Speaker 1: I want to play for you what we had to say,
9:31
Speaker 1: because he had just gotten off the phone with the
9:34
Speaker 1: Israeli ambassador and had had a briefing on this attack
9:39
Speaker 1: and what is next, and I want you to hear
9:41
Speaker 1: what was said.
9:42
Speaker 3: So take a listen.
9:43
Speaker 4: We are gathered right now at a time of war,
9:45
Speaker 4: that time when Israel is striking back at Iran, striking
9:49
Speaker 4: back to ensure that Iran does not acquire nuclear weapons.
9:52
Speaker 4: And you and I are recording this podcast at is
9:55
Speaker 4: twelve oh seven am on Friday morning, So the events
9:58
Speaker 4: may change in the next forty eight hours, but at
10:01
Speaker 4: twelve oh seven am, the war is just unfolding and
10:05
Speaker 4: we're seeing what's happening, and what's happening so far israel strikes,
10:10
Speaker 4: by the early reports, have been enormously effective. Israel has
10:14
Speaker 4: taken out the chief of the IRGC. Israel has taken
10:19
Speaker 4: out the successor to the chief of the IRGC. Israel
10:23
Speaker 4: has decimated Tons, a major nuclear site in Iran, and
10:28
Speaker 4: Israel is carrying out multiple military strikes right now as
10:32
Speaker 4: we speak. Now, I will say, by the time you
10:34
Speaker 4: listen to this podcast, it may be Friday during the
10:37
Speaker 4: day and you're listening to the podcast. It may be
10:39
Speaker 4: Saturday or Sunday and you're listening to this show on
10:41
Speaker 4: the radio. Things may have changed by then. But right
10:45
Speaker 4: now we are seeing war in the Middle East. We
10:48
Speaker 4: are seeing Israel acting decisively to protect yourself. And I
10:53
Speaker 4: will say there are several messages that every one of
10:55
Speaker 4: us need to hear, but the two that are most
10:57
Speaker 4: important our number one, America stands unequivocally with the state
11:04
Speaker 4: of Israel. We are with Israel and her right to
11:06
Speaker 4: defend herself with no daylight whatsoever. And number two, a
11:12
Speaker 4: message to the Ayatola. We have an enormous number of
11:15
Speaker 4: American servicemen and women in harm's way in the Middle East.
11:19
Speaker 4: The Iahtola needs to understand if you strike out and
11:24
Speaker 4: attack American servicemen and women, if you kill even a
11:27
Speaker 4: single American servicemen or women, I am absolutely confident President
11:32
Speaker 4: Trump will respond with overwhelming force. And so the Iyahtola
11:38
Speaker 4: should know, do not attack America as a response to
11:42
Speaker 4: this military assault.
11:43
Speaker 1: Amen to that. And look, this is such a hard
11:47
Speaker 1: time right now for so many in Israel, and so
11:49
Speaker 1: many that listen to the show have asks what can
11:52
Speaker 1: I do to help? How do I stand with the
11:54
Speaker 1: people in Israel? They need her help now more than ever.
11:56
Speaker 1: And that's why I want you to get involved with
11:58
Speaker 1: an organization that I'm heavily involved with. It's called the
12:02
Speaker 1: International Fellowship of Christians and Jews. And we are seeing
12:05
Speaker 1: something that's disturbing, anti Semitism on the rise around the world.
12:10
Speaker 1: Sadly right here in America. You have seen Jewish schools
12:13
Speaker 1: that have been targeted, synagogues that have been threatened, families
12:16
Speaker 1: that are living in fear. And that's happening in the US.
12:19
Speaker 1: Imagine what's happening right now in Israel. And that's why
12:23
Speaker 1: I want you to know about the International Fellowship of
12:25
Speaker 1: Christians and Jews. They're on the front lines and they're
12:28
Speaker 1: providing hope and help when it is needed the most,
12:32
Speaker 1: especially right now. They're giving food and shelter to Jewish
12:36
Speaker 1: families that are under threat. They are building countless bomb
12:40
Speaker 1: shelters for children to keep them safe. In Israel, they're
12:44
Speaker 1: helping survivors of hate rebuild their lives. And they don't
12:47
Speaker 1: just respond to crisis, they work every day to prevent it. Now,
12:51
Speaker 1: your gift of only forty five dollars not only will
12:55
Speaker 1: help support life saving work by providing food and shelter
12:59
Speaker 1: and bombshells and armored vehicles, but it will give them
13:03
Speaker 1: peace knowing that there are people standing with the people
13:07
Speaker 1: in Israel. So if you've thought about helping, now is
13:11
Speaker 1: the time to do it. Call them and make a
13:14
Speaker 1: donation eight eight eight four eight eight IFCJ.
13:18
Speaker 3: That's eight eight eight four eight eight four three two five.
13:23
Speaker 1: You can also go online to IFCJ dot org.
13:28
Speaker 3: Every dollar truly does help.
13:30
Speaker 1: Don't wait be the difference of his IFCJ dot orger
13:33
Speaker 1: eight a eight four eight eight IFCJ. Right now, all right, Senator,
13:38
Speaker 1: So let's start with the basic question, and that is
13:43
Speaker 1: what how did this begin? What have you learned being
13:48
Speaker 1: in Washington, d C. About this strike on these Iranian
13:51
Speaker 1: nuclear sites and military targets. What do you know tonight
13:54
Speaker 1: that that you can tell people listening?
13:58
Speaker 4: Well, let me say, first of all, I believe this
14:00
Speaker 4: attack was inevitable that Iran was hell bent on acquiring
14:06
Speaker 4: nuclear weapons. President Trump said repeatedly and unequivocally that the
14:11
Speaker 4: only option for Iran was a complete and total dismantlement
14:16
Speaker 4: of their centrifuges, of their enrichment capacity, of their ability
14:20
Speaker 4: to enrich uranium. I led a letter with fifty two
14:24
Speaker 4: Republican senators where we said, united, we agree with President Trump.
14:29
Speaker 4: This is the red line, complete and total dismantlement of
14:33
Speaker 4: their nuclear capacity. Now, what President Trump said is there's
14:37
Speaker 4: two ways they can do this. One they can do
14:39
Speaker 4: so peacefully through negotiations, and that's what the Trump administration
14:43
Speaker 4: was trying to do. Or two, if they refuse to dismantle,
14:48
Speaker 4: they will have the centrifugions dismantled through warfare. Well, this morning,
14:56
Speaker 4: the Iranian regime announced it was not going to shut
14:59
Speaker 4: down even in a single centrifuge. Instead, it was going
15:02
Speaker 4: to build more. That they were hell bent on building
15:05
Speaker 4: more centrifuges, enriching more uranium, and they were on the
15:09
Speaker 4: path to a nuclear weapon. And I got to say, Ben,
15:12
Speaker 4: the consequences of the statements this morning, we're number one.
15:18
Speaker 4: There were a gigantic middle Frank Finger to President Trump.
15:21
Speaker 4: They were saying, we don't care what you say. We
15:24
Speaker 4: want nuclear weapons, and we're not gonna be dissuaded. We're
15:27
Speaker 4: not going to be deterred. But number two, they were
15:29
Speaker 4: a very clear message to Israel, attack us now, because
15:33
Speaker 4: we are barreling towards acquiring a nuclear weapon, and if
15:36
Speaker 4: you wait, you may find yourself with an enemy that
15:40
Speaker 4: has a nuclear weapon and that can detonated over the
15:43
Speaker 4: skies of Israel and kill millions of Israelis. And so
15:47
Speaker 4: Iran set us on this course, and the government of
15:51
Speaker 4: Israel is acting to keep the people of Israel safe.
15:55
Speaker 4: But it is nonetheless an extraordinarily perilous time for Israel,
16:00
Speaker 4: for America and for the world.
16:02
Speaker 1: Say, you just mentioned that this was inevitable, and it
16:04
Speaker 1: does feel like it was a long time coming, and
16:07
Speaker 1: there was a question of who was going to do it.
16:09
Speaker 1: Was it going to be America, was it going to
16:11
Speaker 1: be Israel. Clearly now we know this as Israel is
16:14
Speaker 1: launching this preemptive strike, and some would even argue this
16:17
Speaker 1: was long overdue.
16:19
Speaker 4: Yes, And I will say President Trump announced on April
16:23
Speaker 4: twelfth that Iran has sixty days to negotiate and agree
16:28
Speaker 4: to this sixty days. This attack was launched on June twelfth, Thursday,
16:34
Speaker 4: June twelfth, exactly sixty days after that. That is not
16:38
Speaker 4: an accident. Iran understood they had a timeframe, but you
16:42
Speaker 4: got to understand the Iranians when they negotiate, they want
16:44
Speaker 4: to delay. They wanted to delay, they want to continue
16:47
Speaker 4: to reap the benefits of Joe Biden and the Democrats
16:51
Speaker 4: weakness and appeasement and fuel the money that they received
16:56
Speaker 4: into developing nuclear weapons. And so Israel made the decision.
17:00
Speaker 4: They made the decision they were going to attack. They
17:02
Speaker 4: were going to attack on exactly the sixty day expiration
17:05
Speaker 4: of President Trump's deadline. And I think that was driven
17:09
Speaker 4: by Iran beginning Thursday by saying we're not changing a
17:14
Speaker 4: damn thing. We're gonna keep building centrifuges and effectively we
17:19
Speaker 4: want a nuclear weapon and there's nothing you can do
17:21
Speaker 4: to stop us. Israel acted to demonstrate that was not right.
17:25
Speaker 1: Senator, I want to also remind people we do the
17:27
Speaker 1: show as a podcast, so you can grab it three
17:29
Speaker 1: days a week wherever you get your podcasts. Don't forget
17:32
Speaker 1: subscribe to vertict with tech Cruise and let's get into
17:34
Speaker 1: what Netnya who had to say as well Senator Netnak
17:37
Speaker 1: who came out and was and spoke very boldly, not
17:40
Speaker 1: just to the people in Israel, but also to the world.
17:43
Speaker 4: So on Thursday evening, as the military strike was beginning,
17:47
Speaker 4: Prime Minister Netnyah who addressed Israel and addressed the world.
17:51
Speaker 4: Here's what he had to say.
17:52
Speaker 2: Moments ago, Israel launched Operation Rising Lion, a targeted military
17:58
Speaker 2: operation to roll back the Uranian threat to Israel's very survival.
18:04
Speaker 2: This operation will continue for as many days as it
18:06
Speaker 2: takes to remove this threat. For decades, the tyrants of
18:11
Speaker 2: Tehran have brazenly openly called for Israel's destruction. They've backed
18:17
Speaker 2: up their genocidal rhetoric with a program to develop nuclear weapons.
18:22
Speaker 2: In recent years, Iran has produced enough highly enriched uranium
18:26
Speaker 2: for nine atom bombs. Nine In recent months, Iran has
18:32
Speaker 2: taken steps that it has never taken before, steps to
18:36
Speaker 2: weaponize this enriched uranium. And if not stopped, Iran could
18:40
Speaker 2: produce a nuclear weapon in a very short time. It
18:43
Speaker 2: could be a year, it could be within a few months,
18:46
Speaker 2: less than a year. This is a clear and present
18:49
Speaker 2: danger to Israel's very survival. Eighty years ago, the Jewish
18:54
Speaker 2: people were the victims of a holocaust perpetrated by the
18:58
Speaker 2: Nazi regime. Today, the Jewish state refuses to be a
19:02
Speaker 2: victim of a nuclear holocaust perporpated by the Iranian regime. Now,
19:07
Speaker 2: as Prime Minister, I've made it clear time and again,
19:12
Speaker 2: Israel will never allow those who call for our annihilation
19:16
Speaker 2: to develop the means to achieve that goal. Tonight, Israel
19:19
Speaker 2: backs those words with action. We struck at the heart
19:23
Speaker 2: of Iran's nuclear enrichment program. We struck at the heart
19:26
Speaker 2: of Iran's nuclear weaponization program. We targeted Iran's main enrichment
19:32
Speaker 2: facility in Atans. We targeted Iran's leading nuclear scientists working
19:37
Speaker 2: on the Iranian bomb. We also struck at the heart
19:39
Speaker 2: of Iran's ballistic missile program. Last year, Iran fired three
19:44
Speaker 2: hundred ballistic missiles at Israel. Each of these missiles carries
19:49
Speaker 2: a ton of explosives and threatens the lives of hundreds
19:53
Speaker 2: of people. Soon, those missiles could carry a nuclear payload,
19:58
Speaker 2: threatening the lives not of hundreds, but of millions. Iran
20:02
Speaker 2: is gearing up to produce ten thousands of those ballistic
20:05
Speaker 2: missiles within three years now. Just imagine, imagine ten thousand
20:11
Speaker 2: tons of TNT landing on a country the size of
20:16
Speaker 2: New Jersey. This is an intolerable threat. It too must
20:21
Speaker 2: be stopped.
20:22
Speaker 1: You listen to Netnyahu there, and not only was he
20:25
Speaker 1: very clear and direct, but it was I think a
20:28
Speaker 1: argument that if you're a sane person wherever you are
20:31
Speaker 1: in the world, and you're looking at the position that
20:34
Speaker 1: Israel is in with a Ran next door, they had
20:37
Speaker 1: no choice but.
20:38
Speaker 3: To do this.
20:39
Speaker 4: Yes, Look, as you know, I know Prime Minister Netneho
20:43
Speaker 4: very well. He is a friend. We've spent a lot
20:46
Speaker 4: of time together. When he was in DC last month,
20:50
Speaker 4: he and I spent two, almost two and a half
20:52
Speaker 4: hours together, just one on one. I will tell you,
20:56
Speaker 4: in the thirteen years i've been in the Senate, I've
20:58
Speaker 4: met a lot of world leaders. That's part of a job,
21:00
Speaker 4: as you meet the leaders of foreign countries. There is
21:04
Speaker 4: only one who has taking my breath away. I think
21:08
Speaker 4: Prime Minister netanya who the adjective I've used for him
21:11
Speaker 4: I've not used for anyone else is Churchillian, because I
21:16
Speaker 4: think he has a seriousness of purpose. I think he
21:18
Speaker 4: has a gravitas. He understands that he is facing literally
21:22
Speaker 4: a threat to annihilate the people of his country, and
21:27
Speaker 4: he is committed to doing everything necessary to prevent it.
21:31
Speaker 4: You know, I'll tell you when Obama was president, and
21:33
Speaker 4: when Obama was negotiating and announcing the Obama Iran nuclear Deal,
21:39
Speaker 4: which was catastrophically devastating, the House of Representatives invited Prime
21:44
Speaker 4: Minister Netna who to come and address a joint session
21:46
Speaker 4: of Congress. And when that happened, I invited Ellie Wizzell,
21:51
Speaker 4: who is the Nobel Laureate, incredible, incredible man, to come
21:56
Speaker 4: participate in a conversation with me on what the threat
21:59
Speaker 4: of a nuclear was.
22:01
Speaker 2: Now.
22:01
Speaker 4: Ellie, he wanted it to be very mache bipartisan event.
22:07
Speaker 4: So I invited Chuck Schumer to participate. He said no.
22:11
Speaker 4: I invited multiple Democrats to participate, one after the other
22:16
Speaker 4: after the other. They sayed said no. Finally I told Ellie,
22:19
Speaker 4: no Democrat will participate. We did a gathering in the capital.
22:23
Speaker 4: We had over five hundred people come in the capital. Listen.
22:26
Speaker 4: Ellie was l talk about his experiences seeing the horrors
22:32
Speaker 4: of the Holocaust, seeing the horrors of evil and Nazi Germany,
22:37
Speaker 4: and I got to say when Ellie was l talked
22:40
Speaker 4: about never again means never again, and the greatest threat
22:45
Speaker 4: of another holocaust on planet Earth is a nuclear Iran,
22:49
Speaker 4: where these theocratic lunatics use nuclear weapons to murder millions
22:55
Speaker 4: of Israelis. It was powerful. It took my breath away
23:00
Speaker 4: to be sitting at the table with him. But it
23:02
Speaker 4: also spoke volumes that not a single Democrat was willing
23:06
Speaker 4: to be in the room. And I'll tell you ben
23:08
Speaker 4: So on that speech on the Senate floor, I was there.
23:10
Speaker 4: I listened to Prime Minister Netyahu's speech, which was powerful,
23:14
Speaker 4: it was incredibly important, and we saw a vast number
23:18
Speaker 4: of Democrats boycott the speech, refuse to attend. We saw
23:23
Speaker 4: that again when when when the Prime Minister addressed Congress
23:26
Speaker 4: more recently, and again Democrats boycott of the speech. Kamala
23:30
Speaker 4: Harris boycott of the speech, refused to listen to the
23:33
Speaker 4: democratically elected leader of Israel. And it is a sad
23:36
Speaker 4: dynamic that today's Democrat party is dominated by the Prohamas faction.
23:44
Speaker 4: Today's Democrat Party isn't panic because right now, far too
23:48
Speaker 4: many of their radicals sympathize with Iran over Israel. And
23:53
Speaker 4: that that may sound like hyperbole, but you know what
23:56
Speaker 4: we are going to see. I'm going to predict this,
23:58
Speaker 4: you and I. This is this is early Friday morning.
24:01
Speaker 4: We are going to see Democrat after Democrat saying to Israel,
24:07
Speaker 4: you need to restrain yourself, not calling out a Ran,
24:10
Speaker 4: but calling out Israel because that.
24:12
Speaker 3: Is where the bank on Israel.
24:14
Speaker 4: That party is.
24:15
Speaker 3: Yes.
24:15
Speaker 1: Yeah, after the attack, they've came out and said they
24:18
Speaker 1: must show restraint. Before they'd even been able to figure
24:20
Speaker 1: out what had happened in Israel, They're like, well, they
24:22
Speaker 1: need to show restraint, they must show restrained.
24:24
Speaker 4: Everything the Biden administration over and over again said do
24:27
Speaker 4: not kill the terrorists, do not kill the terrorists. They
24:29
Speaker 4: cut off weapons to Israel. The radical left in the
24:34
Speaker 4: Democrat Party hates Israel and that battle is only gonna
24:37
Speaker 4: get worse.
24:38
Speaker 3: Let me tell you about Patriot Mobile real quick.
24:40
Speaker 1: If you've got a cell phone and your cell phone
24:44
Speaker 1: is not with Patriot Mobile, then the question I got
24:46
Speaker 1: to ask you is why why have you not made
24:49
Speaker 1: the switch? Well, you should make the switch, and the
24:53
Speaker 1: deal is really easy. You get cutting edge technology. Switching
24:57
Speaker 1: has never been easier. There's no store visits no hassles.
25:01
Speaker 1: You get to keep your same phone number you have
25:02
Speaker 1: right now. You get to keep your same phone you've
25:04
Speaker 1: got now, or upgrade to a new one. And they
25:07
Speaker 1: have a one hundred percent US based team that can
25:09
Speaker 1: activate you literally in minutes. The other thing that I
25:13
Speaker 1: love about Patriot Mobile is this they have access to
25:16
Speaker 1: all three major networks, meaning you get exceptional nationwide coverage.
25:21
Speaker 3: I use Patriot Mobile and half for years.
25:24
Speaker 1: They can even put a second number on a different
25:27
Speaker 1: network on your phone.
25:29
Speaker 3: It's like carrying two phones in one. You can have
25:32
Speaker 3: a work number and a personal number. It's amazing.
25:35
Speaker 1: They have unlimited data plans, mobile hotspots, international roaming, Internet
25:40
Speaker 1: on the go devices, and home internet backup as well.
25:44
Speaker 1: You can get all of this from Patriot Mobile. So
25:48
Speaker 1: why are you waiting? Make the switch today? And by
25:51
Speaker 1: the way, when you pay your bill, you know that
25:53
Speaker 1: about five percent of that bill every month is going
25:56
Speaker 1: back to support conservative causes. Causes that stand for a
25:59
Speaker 1: First or Second Amendment rights, the rights of unborn children.
26:03
Speaker 1: And they stand with our veterans, our first responders, our
26:07
Speaker 1: police and firemen, are EMTs, and our wounded warriors. So
26:10
Speaker 1: make a difference with every call you make so right now,
26:14
Speaker 1: go to Patriotmobile dot com slash ferguson or call them
26:19
Speaker 1: nine to seven to two Patriot. You're gonna get a
26:22
Speaker 1: free month of service with the promo code Ferguson. So
26:25
Speaker 1: switch to Patriot Mobile and make a difference with every
26:27
Speaker 1: call you make Patriot Mobile dot com slash ferguson or
26:32
Speaker 1: nine seven to two Patriot. One of the things I
26:35
Speaker 1: love about doing the show Center is moments after this
26:39
Speaker 1: attack took place Israel on Iran, you were actually on
26:43
Speaker 1: the phone with the ambassador from Israel. What did he
26:46
Speaker 1: tell you about this attack? How long had they been
26:49
Speaker 1: planning this? What was the final decision that made this
26:52
Speaker 1: happen in the last several hours.
26:55
Speaker 4: Well, understand, this show happens real time. It happens real
26:59
Speaker 4: time and life. You and I are recording this early
27:02
Speaker 4: in the morning Friday morning. This podcast will come out
27:05
Speaker 4: later in the day on Friday, So some of you
27:07
Speaker 4: will be listening to this on Friday, others of you
27:09
Speaker 4: will be hearing this on radio on Saturday or Sunday.
27:12
Speaker 4: And so the world may have changed forty eight hours.
27:15
Speaker 4: At the time. When a war is initiating, it is
27:19
Speaker 4: a mountain of time. What I can tell you is
27:22
Speaker 4: late Thursday night, as Israel was launching it its attacks,
27:26
Speaker 4: before Iran has engaged in a counterattack, I was on
27:31
Speaker 4: the phone with the Israeli ambassador of the United States
27:34
Speaker 4: and he told me that the attack, at least so far,
27:38
Speaker 4: had gone extraordinarily well, that they'd taken out senior leadership
27:41
Speaker 4: of the IRGC. And I got to say, by the way,
27:44
Speaker 4: that's a huge victory for the United States of America.
27:47
Speaker 4: The IRGC has murdered over six hundred American servicemen and women.
27:54
Speaker 4: They are grotesquely hostile to the United States, and for
27:58
Speaker 4: Israel to take them out enormous benefit to America. But
28:02
Speaker 4: at the same time, the Israeli ambassador told me that
28:06
Speaker 4: the instruction had gone out in Israel to the people
28:09
Speaker 4: of Israel go to a bomb shelter, either be in
28:12
Speaker 4: a bomb shelter or be very near a bomb shelter,
28:15
Speaker 4: because they are anticipating early in the morning Friday morning,
28:20
Speaker 4: that Iran is going to launch a massive counter attack
28:24
Speaker 4: with ballistic weapons. And Israel has extensive anti missile defenses,
28:31
Speaker 4: but Iran has sufficient volume that if they launch everything,
28:34
Speaker 4: they have the capacity to overwhelm the defenses, and so
28:38
Speaker 4: there is a very real possibility. The people of Israel
28:40
Speaker 4: are braced. They understand. Look, look, they're not playing they're
28:45
Speaker 4: not playing games that they are playing with real stakes.
28:49
Speaker 4: They're playing with live rounds. The people of Israel understand
28:53
Speaker 4: right now, as you and I are recording this, that
28:56
Speaker 4: we may see Israeli's die right now, because Iran has
28:59
Speaker 4: enough missiles that if they launched them all there will
29:03
Speaker 4: be Israeli's murdered in the minutes and hours ahead of us.
29:08
Speaker 4: But at the same time, Prime Minister Netanyah, who made
29:11
Speaker 4: the decision, it's a decision I agree with. It's a
29:13
Speaker 4: decision that I think was right. Which is the risk
29:18
Speaker 4: of Israelis dying and of Americans dying if Iran acquires
29:23
Speaker 4: a nuclear weapon is qualitatively different that we could face.
29:28
Speaker 4: With an Iranian nuclear weapon, we could face millions murdered.
29:33
Speaker 4: And so listen, I want to underscore what I said
29:37
Speaker 4: at the beginning of this podcast. Pray for the people
29:39
Speaker 4: of Israel and pray for our servicemen and women in
29:42
Speaker 4: har harm's way, because this is a very very dangerous
29:45
Speaker 4: time right now.
29:47
Speaker 1: Well, let's talk about who is targeted and what this
29:49
Speaker 1: looks like moving forward from the standpoint of Israel. I mean,
29:53
Speaker 1: the objective here is clearly to put them back when
29:56
Speaker 1: it comes to their nuclear program. But they also went
29:58
Speaker 1: after people that were involved in that program, which is
30:01
Speaker 1: a really big way to move things backwards.
30:04
Speaker 2: Yeah.
30:04
Speaker 4: Look, this was a decapitation strike. It was targeted the
30:08
Speaker 4: senior military leaders in Iran. It was targeted at the
30:12
Speaker 4: nuclear facilities in Iran. It was targeted at the anti
30:17
Speaker 4: air assault facilities in Iran. It was a very targeted
30:22
Speaker 4: but massively effective strike. Now Iran is going to strike back.
30:27
Speaker 4: Understand that that that's not a possibility or a probability.
30:32
Speaker 4: It is a certainty that Iran will hit back. Now,
30:35
Speaker 4: what I hope Iran understands is they should not hit
30:38
Speaker 4: back at America. Hitting back at America would escalate this dramatically.
30:43
Speaker 4: And I will say the Secretary of State, Marco Rubio,
30:47
Speaker 4: he put out a statement Thursday night. Let me read
30:49
Speaker 4: his statement. Quote tonight, Israel took unilateral action against Iran.
30:56
Speaker 4: We were not involved in strikes against Iran, and our
30:59
Speaker 4: top priority is protecting American forces in the region. Israel
31:04
Speaker 4: advised us that they believe this action was necessary for
31:07
Speaker 4: its self defense. President Trump and the administration have taken
31:11
Speaker 4: all necessary steps to protect our forces and remain in
31:15
Speaker 4: close contact with our regional partners. Let me be clear,
31:20
Speaker 4: Iran should not target US interests or personnel. Now, look,
31:26
Speaker 4: I'm glad that the Secretary of State was putting out
31:29
Speaker 4: that statement defending our servicemen and women. I wish there
31:33
Speaker 4: had been more in that statement saying we stand with Israel.
31:35
Speaker 4: That was missing from the statement, and it shouldn't have been.
31:40
Speaker 4: From my perspective, we stand unequivocally with Israel. But I
31:43
Speaker 4: understand why the Secretary of State didn't do that, which
31:48
Speaker 4: is that he's concerned that Iran may strike at US
31:52
Speaker 4: military forces. Now, in my view, the way to prevent
31:56
Speaker 4: that is not to say to Iran, hey, we had
31:58
Speaker 4: nothing to do with That was the main theme of
32:02
Speaker 4: the Secretary of State's statement, but rather to say, if
32:07
Speaker 4: you attack US forces, the consequences will be overwhelming. I
32:11
Speaker 4: think Iran responds more to stick than the carrot. But
32:17
Speaker 4: we shall see. And it is any way you look
32:20
Speaker 4: at it, on unbelievably dangerous time.
32:23
Speaker 1: Senator, let's talk about some of the people that have
32:25
Speaker 1: been taken out here. There's two aspects of these strikes. One,
32:29
Speaker 1: nuclear scientists are being reported that they were targeted and
32:32
Speaker 1: have been killed, and that is the brains of the
32:35
Speaker 1: nuclear program. If you want to stop Iran from doing this,
32:39
Speaker 1: taking out new nuclear scientists is absolutely brilliant. It's the
32:43
Speaker 1: computer system, the nervous system of everything they're trying to accomplish.
32:47
Speaker 1: That's incredible. But we also now know from virtually every
32:51
Speaker 1: news agency is reporting this that the IRGC tear chief Salami,
32:56
Speaker 1: has also been eliminated.
32:58
Speaker 3: That is significant as well.
33:00
Speaker 4: Well. We now know that Hussein Salami is lunch meat
33:04
Speaker 4: and I feel a little cheesy making fun of him,
33:08
Speaker 4: but then again, the guy is a racist, genocidal, homicidal lunatic.
33:16
Speaker 4: So I hope after Salami, Beloni and Pastrami both get
33:20
Speaker 4: eliminated as well. And if you look at the head
33:24
Speaker 4: of the IRGC, he has responsibility for murdering over six
33:30
Speaker 4: hundred US servicemen and women. So if you love the
33:35
Speaker 4: men and women of the Armed Services, if you are
33:37
Speaker 4: grateful for friends, family, loved ones who served defending this nation,
33:43
Speaker 4: then you ought to say tonight to the nation of Israel,
33:46
Speaker 4: thank you, thank you for taking out the head of
33:48
Speaker 4: the IRGC that is responsible for murdering hundreds of American
33:53
Speaker 4: servicemen and women. President Trump when he was president the
33:56
Speaker 4: first time, he took out General Solimani, and now today
34:01
Speaker 4: the Israelis have taken out Salami, a successor who is
34:06
Speaker 4: the terror chief of the IRGC, and he is now
34:11
Speaker 4: with his seventy two versions, so that, I will tell you,
34:13
Speaker 4: much to his dismay, those virgins are all Gomer Pyle
34:17
Speaker 4: and it's not what he hoped for.
34:18
Speaker 3: I got to say.
34:19
Speaker 1: One of the best parts about this story just side note,
34:21
Speaker 1: if you look up Insallami on his pages on the Wikipedia,
34:27
Speaker 1: it already says he's like the former guy in charge
34:30
Speaker 1: of the IRGC. I love the Internet when they get
34:33
Speaker 1: it right really quickly. Center. It is amazing to see
34:36
Speaker 1: this moment in history, because this is a moment in history.
34:39
Speaker 1: And I got to ask you this, Aran now is
34:42
Speaker 1: going to respond. I'm sure in some way. I'm sure
34:45
Speaker 1: Israel is expecting that you made it very clear to
34:48
Speaker 1: night America's warning and from this administration, what happens next
34:54
Speaker 1: and what is Israel expecting in your mind.
34:58
Speaker 4: Well, it depends on the escalation. I think it is
35:01
Speaker 4: one hundred percent certain that Iran will respond by firing
35:04
Speaker 4: missiles at Israel. Israel gets that, they understand that they're
35:08
Speaker 4: ready for that. There is some real possibility that Iran
35:13
Speaker 4: will respond by firing missiles or other weapons at Americans.
35:17
Speaker 4: And I think if they do that, they will dramatically
35:20
Speaker 4: escalate this conflict. I think they will provoke. If they
35:23
Speaker 4: murder American servicemen and women, I think you will see
35:26
Speaker 4: President Trump respond with devastating force. And so again my
35:30
Speaker 4: message to the Iatolas, do not do that their response
35:34
Speaker 4: to Israel. I don't know what it will be. There
35:37
Speaker 4: is a risk that their response is devastating, that it
35:40
Speaker 4: is overwhelming. They have a massive number of ballistic missiles,
35:45
Speaker 4: so if they fire them, all the odds are significant
35:48
Speaker 4: that we will see a very large number of Israelis murdered.
35:52
Speaker 4: What I'm saying, Prime Minister net Yahoo understands. He knows that.
35:56
Speaker 4: He knows that, but by virtue of engaging this attack tonight,
36:00
Speaker 4: there's a real risk of a significant number of Israelis
36:03
Speaker 4: being murdered. But he did this because he knows that
36:07
Speaker 4: if Iran has a nuclear weapon, many many more Israelis
36:12
Speaker 4: and many many more Americans are at risk of being murdered.
36:15
Speaker 4: Look the Iatola chance death to America and death to Israel.
36:19
Speaker 4: I believe he believes that, and so acquiring a nuclear
36:24
Speaker 4: weapon is not just an academic question. If he gets
36:26
Speaker 4: a nuclear weapon, I believe he is trying to acquire
36:29
Speaker 4: one because he wants to carry out his promises of
36:33
Speaker 4: death to Israel and death to America. And that's precisely
36:36
Speaker 4: why Israel has launched this attack, to stop him from
36:39
Speaker 4: getting that capability.
36:41
Speaker 1: I also center want to play for you what the
36:44
Speaker 1: Israeli ambassador the United Nations had to say on CNN earlier.
36:48
Speaker 1: Here is what he had to say when he was
36:49
Speaker 1: asked a couple of different questions about this strike.
36:52
Speaker 5: Also joining me is Israel's Ambassador to the United Nations,
36:55
Speaker 5: Danny Denone. And Ambassador, it's great to have you here, sir.
36:58
Speaker 5: Just first on the strike that we were seeing plays
37:00
Speaker 5: ou tonight and what this means should we now consider
37:03
Speaker 5: is real to be at war with Iran?
37:06
Speaker 6: And I was very clear, we took a preemptive attack
37:09
Speaker 6: to defense ourselves, to defend ourselves, and we are targeting
37:13
Speaker 6: the nuclear facilities and the ballistic mission centers in Iran.
37:19
Speaker 6: So We don't go into declarations. Now, we take actions.
37:22
Speaker 6: We decided not to wait for Iran to attack us
37:25
Speaker 6: with nuclear capabilities. We knew that they were plotting to
37:30
Speaker 6: do that, and while they were talking with many countries
37:33
Speaker 6: and negotiating, they moved secretly with a military plan to
37:37
Speaker 6: attack as well. And what we did was an act
37:40
Speaker 6: of self defense. And we have abilities, you know, okay,
37:43
Speaker 6: clean eighty years ago, when Auschwitz was liberated, we required
37:47
Speaker 6: the support of the allies to protect our people. But
37:50
Speaker 6: today we have our own state, our own military, our
37:54
Speaker 6: own air force, and today we are protecting ourselves from
37:57
Speaker 6: another holocaust.
38:00
Speaker 5: Are much wider than the preemptive strikes based on what
38:02
Speaker 5: we've seen so far, especially in terms of targeting around
38:06
Speaker 5: top military leaders as well as senior nuclear scientists, kind
38:09
Speaker 5: of a mass based on what we have heard, do
38:12
Speaker 5: you know how many of those top military leaders and
38:15
Speaker 5: nuclear scientists and run the strikes against the more successful,
38:19
Speaker 5: How many of them have been eliminated tonight?
38:21
Speaker 6: No, I cannot go into those details, but I can
38:23
Speaker 6: tell you one thing. Those people who were involved in
38:27
Speaker 6: the nuclear production, those who were putting together the ballistic missiles,
38:33
Speaker 6: there are targets. They are part of the machine that
38:35
Speaker 6: threatened as well in other countries in the world. You know,
38:38
Speaker 6: if you look back at attack that if well took,
38:41
Speaker 6: whether it was against the Iraqi or see yeah, we
38:44
Speaker 6: try to develop a nuclear reactors. I think today everybody
38:47
Speaker 6: can thank it well for those actions. So maybe today
38:51
Speaker 6: some people are not sure about why we're doing it today,
38:54
Speaker 6: but down the world a few years from today, the
38:57
Speaker 6: world will thank it well for the actually we took todaight.
39:01
Speaker 1: The world will think Israel for the actions taking tonight.
39:04
Speaker 1: Is that the big takeaway from all of this.
39:07
Speaker 4: It should be. But understand that the pro Hamas radical
39:11
Speaker 4: left in the Democrat Party is cheering on exactly the
39:15
Speaker 4: opposite side. So Ben Rhodes, many of you all listening
39:19
Speaker 4: know who Ben Roads is. Ben Rhodes was a top
39:22
Speaker 4: national security official in the Barack Obama National Security Council.
39:26
Speaker 4: He is the lead architect of the Obama Iran nuclear deal.
39:32
Speaker 4: He is a hardcore leftist and tonight he's miserable. So
39:37
Speaker 4: Ben Rhodes. Late Thursday night, he tweeted out, quote, this
39:41
Speaker 4: is all so unnecessary, all of it everywhere. Understand when
39:48
Speaker 4: Israel attacks Iran to take out the nuclear capacities. Ben Rhodes,
39:53
Speaker 4: the leading national security official for Barack Obama, is I
39:57
Speaker 4: think Ben is in tears right now. And listen, the
40:01
Speaker 4: Iran nuclear deal under Obama was a disaster. Under Joe Biden,
40:06
Speaker 4: their top foreign policy objective was to have another Iran
40:09
Speaker 4: nuclear deal. The only thing that stopped it is Iran
40:12
Speaker 4: was so unreasonable they would not accept it. And there
40:17
Speaker 4: are so many in the Democrat Party right now that
40:21
Speaker 4: are cheering for Iran. I'll tell you what I'm cheering
40:24
Speaker 4: for America, dammit, and I'm cheering for Israel and people
40:28
Speaker 4: who are theocratic lunatics who say they want to murder us.
40:32
Speaker 4: I am not dismayed that we are seeing a military
40:35
Speaker 4: force stand up and take them out, and in particular,
40:38
Speaker 4: take out their nuclear capacity. That is critically important. We
40:43
Speaker 4: do not want people who want to murder us to
40:47
Speaker 4: have the tools to do so. And I think Israel's
40:51
Speaker 4: attack did enormous benefit to America.
40:54
Speaker 1: You mentioned taking away their tools, and one of their
40:57
Speaker 1: tools was going after their scientists. I mean, this is
41:00
Speaker 1: the brains behind everything. This took a lot of planning
41:04
Speaker 1: and apparently it was incredibly successful as well. I mean,
41:07
Speaker 1: this is taking out their nervous system of the computer system,
41:12
Speaker 1: whatever you want to call it, for their nuclear program
41:15
Speaker 1: by going after the scientists. It's absolutely brilliant, and they
41:18
Speaker 1: pulled it off.
41:19
Speaker 2: They did.
41:20
Speaker 4: It was executed with amazing precision. Now it's early. Look,
41:24
Speaker 4: you and I are both talking early in the morning,
41:27
Speaker 4: Friday morning. It is possible that that problems developed later Friday,
41:32
Speaker 4: later Saturday, later Sunday. One of the challenges of doing
41:35
Speaker 4: a show like this at the beginning of military conflict
41:39
Speaker 4: is you don't know how things will shake out. But
41:41
Speaker 4: I will say this, so Benjamin Netanya who is a
41:43
Speaker 4: strong conservative, One of his predecessors as Israeli Prime minister
41:48
Speaker 4: was Enough Tolly Bennett. Now enough Tolly had been previously Netanyah,
41:53
Speaker 4: who's chief of staff. But then but then Bennett broke
41:59
Speaker 4: with nen Yahoo and ended up becoming prime minister himself
42:04
Speaker 4: in significant part by opposing nen Nyahu. But I want
42:07
Speaker 4: you to listen to this clip of former Israeli Prime
42:11
Speaker 4: minister and nough Tlly Bennett talking about what this is
42:14
Speaker 4: all about. Give a listen.
42:16
Speaker 7: Well, the Israeli had a siren across the country indicating
42:21
Speaker 7: that Israel's air force is conducting a prempt to strike
42:26
Speaker 7: against Iran's military facilities and perhaps also the nuclear facilities.
42:33
Speaker 7: I want to remind you that Iran's about a week
42:36
Speaker 7: away from being able to obtain the amount of enriched
42:41
Speaker 7: uranium for ten bombs. So this is not me saying,
42:46
Speaker 7: this is the international nuclear community and the goal ultimately
42:54
Speaker 7: will be to remove the nuclear.
42:56
Speaker 8: Threat from the Middle East. And sitting the head of
42:59
Speaker 8: the octaple of Terra that should have been causing all
43:02
Speaker 8: of the mess we've seen over the past couple of
43:05
Speaker 8: years in the region, I mean, there it is.
43:10
Speaker 4: And I will say when today's Democrats in the Senate
43:14
Speaker 4: and House are to the left of that are saying
43:17
Speaker 4: do not attack Iran, and we're going to see I'm
43:20
Speaker 4: going to make a prediction in the hours and days ahead,
43:24
Speaker 4: We're going to see a massive rise in the attacks
43:26
Speaker 4: from the anti Semitic left. And the anti Semitic left
43:29
Speaker 4: is growing bigger and bigger, and so those who hate
43:32
Speaker 4: Israel will be really vocal, and unfortunately there's also a
43:35
Speaker 4: contingent on the anti Semitic right. The anti Semitic right
43:38
Speaker 4: is smaller than the left, but both of them are
43:41
Speaker 4: absolutely wrong, and you're going to see online people say
43:46
Speaker 4: the Israelis are dragging us into war. I'm here to
43:49
Speaker 4: tell you the Israelis are acting to prevent war, to
43:53
Speaker 4: prevent Iran from getting nuclear weapons, and those nuclear weapons
43:57
Speaker 4: could well be used to murder millions of Israelis or
44:01
Speaker 4: millions of Americans. And so Israel is acting in self defense.
44:07
Speaker 4: And and I want to be clear, America stands with Israel.
44:12
Speaker 3: Don't forget.
