• 0:01
  Speaker 1: This Iotola regime has been raping and pillaging the country
• 0:06
  Speaker 1: for forty seven years. We are trying to protect our interests.
• 0:09
  Speaker 1: We as the United States, and the president is a
• 0:11
  Speaker 1: first president in forty seven years. I actually have a
• 0:14
  Speaker 1: backbone to do something about it. They've been attacking us,
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: they've been attacking our interest they've been attacking our assets,
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: and they've been doing it without even being apologetic. They've
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: bragged about it, and we have just tried to appease
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: them over the years, and President Trump said enough enough.
• 0:31
  Speaker 2: You're listening to the forty seven Morning Update with Ben ferguson.
• 0:34
  Speaker 3: Good Tuesday morning. Nice to have you with us. On
• 0:37
  Speaker 3: the forty seven Morning Update, Donald Trump says Operation Epic
• 0:41
  Speaker 3: Fury is ahead of schedule as dozens of senior Iranian
• 0:45
  Speaker 3: leaders have been taken out. So what is happening now.
• 0:48
  Speaker 3: We have it all for you. But before we get
• 0:51
  Speaker 3: to that, I want to take a moment and ask
• 0:53
  Speaker 3: you to help the people in Israel. With my friends
• 0:56
  Speaker 3: at the IFCJ working right now on the ground for
• 1:00
  Speaker 3: all those in need. As Operation Epic Fury intensifies, the
• 1:04
  Speaker 3: world braces for what comes next, and people of faith
• 1:08
  Speaker 3: pray for freedom and for God's people to be protected
• 1:12
  Speaker 3: in the Holy Land. Red alert sirens fill the air,
• 1:16
  Speaker 3: sirens that give you fifteen seconds to reach the nearest
• 1:19
  Speaker 3: bomb shelter. The situation is serious and the threat is real.
• 1:24
  Speaker 3: In times like this, freedom and faith aren't just abstract ideas.
• 1:29
  Speaker 3: They are what we depend on. And the International Fellowship
• 1:33
  Speaker 3: of Christians and Jews is on the ground preparing large
• 1:37
  Speaker 3: scale distributions of life saving food, first aid and emergency
• 1:41
  Speaker 3: essentials for security personnel, while helping ensure hospitals, emergency rooms
• 1:47
  Speaker 3: and shelters are stocked with critical medical supplies. This aid
• 1:51
  Speaker 3: is focused on Israel's most vulnerable, the sick, the elderly,
• 1:55
  Speaker 3: children and families in great need. But the Fellowship needs
• 1:59
  Speaker 3: your most interest gift today to make this work all possible.
• 2:03
  Speaker 3: Now is your time to stand with Israel's most vulnerable.
• 2:06
  Speaker 3: To rush your gift. Call eight eight eight four eight
• 2:09
  Speaker 3: eight IFCJ. That's eight eight eight four eight eight IFCJ,
• 2:15
  Speaker 3: or give online at IFCJ dot org. That's IFCJ dot org.
• 2:21
  Speaker 3: It's the forty seven Morning Update and it starts right
• 2:24
  Speaker 3: now story number one, Operation Epic Fury, Day three, and
• 2:29
  Speaker 3: it's the latest that you want to know about what
• 2:31
  Speaker 3: is actually happening from Iran as well as the Middle East,
• 2:35
  Speaker 3: and also what America is doing. The military operation against
• 2:39
  Speaker 3: Iran has entered its third day, with strikes against targets
• 2:43
  Speaker 3: inside Iran and interceptions of Iranian aircraft, Iranian missiles and
• 2:48
  Speaker 3: drones attempting to land blows across the Middle East and
• 2:51
  Speaker 3: the Eastern Mediterranean. Is very much ongoing at this moment.
• 2:56
  Speaker 3: We know that the Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Ettnya has
• 3:00
  Speaker 3: rejected the notion that Israel dragged the United States into
• 3:05
  Speaker 3: war with Iran, telling Sean Hannity on Fox News, that's ridiculous.
• 3:10
  Speaker 3: He also went on to say that Donald Trump is
• 3:12
  Speaker 3: the strongest leader in the world. He does what he
• 3:15
  Speaker 3: thinks is right for America, and he also does what
• 3:19
  Speaker 3: he thinks is right for future generations. Earlier, US Secretary
• 3:23
  Speaker 3: of State Marco Rubio said that the threat posed by
• 3:26
  Speaker 3: Iran to the United States was in fact imminent, contradicting
• 3:31
  Speaker 3: what many on the left had been saying for the
• 3:33
  Speaker 3: last twenty four hours. The White House, he also says,
• 3:37
  Speaker 3: had intelligence that the Islamic regime had planned to attack
• 3:40
  Speaker 3: American assets in the region in the event of an
• 3:44
  Speaker 3: impeding strike on its missile program by Israel. Marco Rubio
• 3:49
  Speaker 3: also added that the timing of the strike was also
• 3:52
  Speaker 3: influenced by desire to prevent the currently weakened Iran from
• 3:57
  Speaker 3: building up its missile and drone programs against strikes on
• 4:01
  Speaker 3: its nuclear program that clearly they have been trying to
• 4:05
  Speaker 3: use to say, as they put it, to kill America
• 4:09
  Speaker 3: and to kill Israel. We also know that the official
• 4:13
  Speaker 3: spokesman for Saudi Arabia's Ministry of Defense said that its
• 4:16
  Speaker 3: forces have intercepted and destroyed eight drones that have come
• 4:21
  Speaker 3: in from Iran. It comes after Saudi Arabia revealed that
• 4:25
  Speaker 3: two drones were successful in striking the US embassy there.
• 4:29
  Speaker 3: The attack resulted in a fire and minor material damage
• 4:33
  Speaker 3: to the building, but reportedly did not cause any injuries
• 4:37
  Speaker 3: to US personnel. We also know that US Vice President
• 4:42
  Speaker 3: JD Vance said there is no way the President Trump
• 4:46
  Speaker 3: will enter the United States in a multi year conflict
• 4:50
  Speaker 3: in Iran. Speaking to Jesse Waters of Fox News, the
• 4:53
  Speaker 3: Vice President said, We're not going to get into the
• 4:56
  Speaker 3: problems that we've had with Iraq in our Afghanistan. After
• 5:01
  Speaker 3: Iraq and Afghanistan.
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: Some people say, up here we go again.
• 5:06
  Speaker 4: Is that something here you're thinking about?
• 5:08
  Speaker 5: Well, Jesse, if you think back to Afghanistan, twenty years
• 5:11
  Speaker 5: of mission creep, twenty years of not having a clear objective,
• 5:14
  Speaker 5: in twenty years of the United States trying to bring
• 5:17
  Speaker 5: liberal democracy to Afghanistan, Iraq was a little bit shorter,
• 5:21
  Speaker 5: but we were still in that country for nearly a
• 5:23
  Speaker 5: decade with no clear mission, no clear definition. What's so
• 5:26
  Speaker 5: different about this, Jesse, is that the president has clearly
• 5:29
  Speaker 5: defined what he wants to accomplish, and there's just no way.
• 5:32
  Speaker 5: I said this before the conflict started or repeated again,
• 5:36
  Speaker 5: there's just no way that Donald Trump is going to
• 5:38
  Speaker 5: allow this country to get into a multi year conflict
• 5:41
  Speaker 5: with no clear end in sight and no clear objective.
• 5:44
  Speaker 5: What is different about President Trump, and it's frankly different
• 5:47
  Speaker 5: about both Republicans and Democrats of the past, is that
• 5:50
  Speaker 5: he's not going to let his country go to war
• 5:52
  Speaker 5: unless there's a clearly defined objective. He's defined that objective
• 5:56
  Speaker 5: as a RAN cannot have a nuclear weapon and has
• 5:58
  Speaker 5: to commit long term and never trying to rebuild the
• 6:01
  Speaker 5: nuclear capability. It's pretty clear. It's pretty simple, and I
• 6:04
  Speaker 5: think that means that we're not going to get into
• 6:06
  Speaker 5: the problems that we've had with Iraq in Afghanistan.
• 6:09
  Speaker 3: Now, Jeddie Vance was not the only one that was
• 6:11
  Speaker 3: doing interviews. Israel's Prime Minister Benjamin Nette Yahoo went on
• 6:16
  Speaker 3: TV to debunk the claims that Israel dragged the US
• 6:19
  Speaker 3: into striking Iran, sitting down with Sean Hannity, and here's
• 6:23
  Speaker 3: what he said. And I want to ask you this.
• 6:26
  Speaker 4: You know, there are people that say, well, the Prime
• 6:29
  Speaker 4: Minister of Israel dragged Donald Trump into it. And as
• 6:32
  Speaker 4: somebody that's been friends with him over thirty years, nobody
• 6:35
  Speaker 4: drags Donald Trump into anything, number one. But I want
• 6:38
  Speaker 4: to get your reaction to that.
• 6:39
  Speaker 6: I mean, that's ridiculous. Donald Trump is the strongest leader
• 6:43
  Speaker 6: in the world. He does what he thinks is right
• 6:46
  Speaker 6: for America. He does also what he thinks is right
• 6:49
  Speaker 6: for future generations. And frankly, we're partners in that effort
• 6:53
  Speaker 6: because I've devoted my life to securing the life of
• 6:58
  Speaker 6: the one and only Jewish state. And believe me, it's
• 7:01
  Speaker 6: been a struggle. I've known the pangs of war. I
• 7:04
  Speaker 6: lost a brother in war, in battle, I myself fought
• 7:08
  Speaker 6: terraces and was wounded in liberating hostages from a hijacked plane.
• 7:16
  Speaker 6: I held a fellow soldier in my arms when I
• 7:19
  Speaker 6: was eighteen, and he died in my arms. I know
• 7:22
  Speaker 6: the cost of war, but I know sometimes the war
• 7:25
  Speaker 6: is necessary to protect us from the people who would
• 7:28
  Speaker 6: destroy us. And that's what free societies have to understand.
• 7:32
  Speaker 6: Freedom is precious, but it has to be protected. And
• 7:36
  Speaker 6: we have to understand that we're fighting here. We're fighting
• 7:40
  Speaker 6: here the bad guys. We're the good guys. These people
• 7:44
  Speaker 6: massacred their own people. Imagine what they would do. These
• 7:48
  Speaker 6: people would chant death to America if they had the
• 7:51
  Speaker 6: ballistic missiles and the nuclear warheads to deliver it to
• 7:54
  Speaker 6: every American city. Do you want to wait? Do you
• 7:58
  Speaker 6: want to that You're future on whether they would do
• 8:01
  Speaker 6: it or they would not do it. I mean, look,
• 8:03
  Speaker 6: nobody's stopping off Korea, so they now have ballistic missiles
• 8:08
  Speaker 6: and nuclear war warheads, but they don't say death to America.
• 8:12
  Speaker 6: Iran is fifty North Koreas. Iran is committed to your destruction,
• 8:17
  Speaker 6: and whether people understand it or not, the leader has
• 8:21
  Speaker 6: to understand it. Donald Trump understands it. You don't have
• 8:24
  Speaker 6: to drag him into anything, and nobody would do it anyway.
• 8:28
  Speaker 6: He does what he thinks is right, and this is right.
• 8:32
  Speaker 3: Net Yeah, who wasn't done there. He also said one
• 8:34
  Speaker 3: of the great things about working with President Donald Trump
• 8:38
  Speaker 3: is that Trump is always understood the real threat that
• 8:41
  Speaker 3: Iran has not only the US but to the rest
• 8:44
  Speaker 3: of the world.
• 8:45
  Speaker 6: Well, you know when America the indispensable ally for Israel
• 8:51
  Speaker 6: and the greatest power in the world, and Israel America's
• 8:55
  Speaker 6: model ally is the National Security Council just called it.
• 8:59
  Speaker 6: When we work together, either amazing things happen. We worked together,
• 9:03
  Speaker 6: and amazing things happened. But I have to tell you
• 9:06
  Speaker 6: that it wouldn't happen without the leadership of President Trump
• 9:10
  Speaker 6: because he just you know, I met him in mar Lago.
• 9:15
  Speaker 6: You may remember this because I think you live close
• 9:17
  Speaker 6: by and I saw you at that time, right before
• 9:20
  Speaker 6: his reelection, okay, and or before is there he was
• 9:24
  Speaker 6: inaugurated the second time and we met. We met in
• 9:28
  Speaker 6: mar Lago, and the first thing that Donald Trump said
• 9:31
  Speaker 6: to me, he said, you know, we have to prevent
• 9:35
  Speaker 6: Iran from getting nukes, as simple as that. He said
• 9:39
  Speaker 6: that because he saw that as a clear and present
• 9:42
  Speaker 6: danger to the security and wellbeing of the United States.
• 9:46
  Speaker 6: To have a regime like that so fanatic that it
• 9:50
  Speaker 6: just defines itself by destroying America, exporting revolution, exporting terrorism,
• 9:56
  Speaker 6: exporting the worst Islamist fanaticism that attacks Arabs, attacks is Raelies,
• 10:02
  Speaker 6: attacks Americans, attacks everyone inside. They just fired. Now they're
• 10:07
  Speaker 6: beliefs in sight around the police, including Cyprus in Europe.
• 10:11
  Speaker 6: To have a regime like that that plans to eradicate
• 10:14
  Speaker 6: the United States have the weapons of mass death would
• 10:18
  Speaker 6: have been the greatest threat that America would face in
• 10:21
  Speaker 6: the coming decades. And so he said to me right
• 10:23
  Speaker 6: off the bat, I didn't say to him. He said
• 10:25
  Speaker 6: to me, we have to make sure they never get
• 10:28
  Speaker 6: the nukes. And that's what he did. We tried first
• 10:31
  Speaker 6: to take them out in midnight Hammer and Rising Line operation,
• 10:36
  Speaker 6: and we took out their missile sites. But then they
• 10:38
  Speaker 6: started again their missile and nuclear sites. They didn't learn
• 10:41
  Speaker 6: the lesson. He tried to get negotiations, He negotiated with them,
• 10:45
  Speaker 6: they didn't get it. They tried to string them along.
• 10:48
  Speaker 6: So action had to be taken, and we took it.
• 10:51
  Speaker 3: It is very clear after hearing NT Yahu speak on
• 10:54
  Speaker 3: Fox News Channel that the President and Hammer side by
• 10:57
  Speaker 3: side his allies, making sure that Iran is no longer
• 11:00
  Speaker 3: great threat not only to Israel, but to Americans in
• 11:03
  Speaker 3: the Middle East and also in this country, which brings
• 11:07
  Speaker 3: us to Pete Headseth. Pete Headseth having a press conference
• 11:11
  Speaker 3: at the Pentagon and after answering questions for quite some time,
• 11:15
  Speaker 3: he wanted to make sure he gave his last two
• 11:18
  Speaker 3: minutes of his statement to talk directly to the men
• 11:21
  Speaker 3: and women that are protecting and serving. He also wanted
• 11:26
  Speaker 3: to reassure the men and women in uniform that he
• 11:28
  Speaker 3: is not going to get you into a never ending
• 11:31
  Speaker 3: war like Afghanistan or Iraq and the Pentagon giving this
• 11:36
  Speaker 3: update but then speaking directly to our warriors, and it's important,
• 11:40
  Speaker 3: I think for every American to hear exactly what he
• 11:43
  Speaker 3: said at the Pentagon.
• 11:44
  Speaker 7: Let me speak straight to you. The Joint Force are
• 11:48
  Speaker 7: warriors on the front lines. This is your moment. This
• 11:51
  Speaker 7: is the generational turning point America has waited for since
• 11:54
  Speaker 7: nineteen seventy nine and since the rudderless Wars of Hubris.
• 11:57
  Speaker 7: My generation, our generation endured. Don't listen to the noise
• 12:01
  Speaker 7: just stay focused. Our commander in chief is steady at
• 12:04
  Speaker 7: the wheel. We face a determined enemy, but you are better.
• 12:08
  Speaker 7: But we must prove it every single day. History doesn't
• 12:11
  Speaker 7: care if we're tired, if we're scared, or if the
• 12:13
  Speaker 7: fight feels big. It demands warriors who rise anyway. Peace
• 12:18
  Speaker 7: through strength, the warrior ethos, lethality, unity of purpose. Those
• 12:23
  Speaker 7: are not slogans. They're the beating heart of what it
• 12:26
  Speaker 7: means to wear the uniform. That uniform you think clearly
• 12:30
  Speaker 7: under fire, You act decisively in chaos. You uphold the Constitution,
• 12:34
  Speaker 7: and you uphold our country without hesitation. We are not
• 12:37
  Speaker 7: defenders anymore. We are warriors train to kill the enemy
• 12:42
  Speaker 7: and break their will. History is watching be the force.
• 12:45
  Speaker 7: You swore an oath to be focused, disciplined, lethal, and unbreakable.
• 12:52
  Speaker 7: We will finish this on America first conditions of President
• 12:57
  Speaker 7: Trump's choosing, nobody else's as it should be. And know
• 13:01
  Speaker 7: this above all, President Trump and I have your back, always,
• 13:06
  Speaker 7: through fire, through criticism, through fake news, through everything. We
• 13:12
  Speaker 7: unleash you because you are the best, most powerful, most
• 13:17
  Speaker 7: lethal fighting force the world has ever seen. May Almighty
• 13:21
  Speaker 7: God watch over you and his providential arms of protection,
• 13:26
  Speaker 7: extend over you. God speed warriors and keep going.
• 13:29
  Speaker 3: God speed warriors, and keep going. A prayer there from
• 13:33
  Speaker 3: the Secretary of War talking directly to our warriors, telling
• 13:38
  Speaker 3: them exactly what they should expect. I got to say,
• 13:42
  Speaker 3: it's something I wish we'd seen from other people that
• 13:45
  Speaker 3: were in charge of the Pentagon. One thing is for
• 13:48
  Speaker 3: sure from this administration, they are being overly transparent about
• 13:52
  Speaker 3: their goals, their wishes, and their desires when it comes
• 13:56
  Speaker 3: to what's happening in Iran. And taking that two minutes
• 13:59
  Speaker 3: in force against to pray and speak directly to our
• 14:02
  Speaker 3: men and women in uniform is something new, and I
• 14:05
  Speaker 3: hope it's a trend that everybody in this position the
• 14:08
  Speaker 3: future will do as well.
