- 1:08Speaker 5: we've been telling you about the International Fellowship of Christians
- 1:11Speaker 5: and Jews and the work they are doing is incredible.
- 1:13Speaker 5: They are deploying bomb shelters as we speak to help
- 1:17Speaker 5: keep people safe in Israel. When things get bad, that
- 1:21Speaker 5: is when they step up and protect families and loved ones.
- 1:24Speaker 5: And if you want to get involved and stand with
- 1:27Speaker 5: the people in Israel right now, you can do it
- 1:30Speaker 5: by giving food and shelter to Jewish families that are
- 1:32Speaker 5: under threat. As I said, they're building bomb shelters for children.
- 1:36Speaker 5: They're helping survivors of the attacks that we're witnessing right now,
- 1:40Speaker 5: and they are doing it daily.
- 1:43Speaker 2: Your gift of only forty.

- 1:49Speaker 5: and so much more. I was speaking with the CEO

- 1:55Speaker 5: it is for so many families in Israel right now
- 1:57Speaker 5: and what they're doing on the ground and the bomb
- 2:00Speaker 5: shelters that are needed, and she said, very simply, if
- 2:03Speaker 5: you can help stand with the people in Israel that
- 2:05Speaker 5: are under attack, they are doing everything they can to
- 2:08Speaker 5: support them and to give the bomb shelters that are needed.

- 2:27Speaker 5: Be the difference IFCJ dot org or eight eight eight
- 2:31Speaker 5: four eight eight IFCJ. It's the forty seven Morning Update
- 2:35Speaker 5: and it starts.
- 2:36Speaker 2: Right now, story number one.
- 2:37Speaker 5: As we enter day six of the war between Iran
- 2:41Speaker 5: in Israel, there are awful lot of headlines and we're
- 2:44Speaker 5: gonna deal with many of them today, including Iran could
- 2:47Speaker 5: resort to unconventional means of retaliation that coming from the regime.
- 2:53Speaker 5: We also note the IDF underestimated the military strength. That
- 2:57Speaker 5: was a criticism early on, but the reality, say Dams
- 3:00Speaker 5: that Iran doesn't have much of an answer. We have
- 3:03Speaker 5: missile attacks going back and forth and shut down oil
- 3:07Speaker 5: refineries in Iran, sirens, sonic booms, it's all now part
- 3:11Speaker 5: of the daily life in both countries. We also know
- 3:15Speaker 5: that Detanya who said that they could in fact kill
- 3:17Speaker 5: the Supreme leader of Iran. And then there's the other part,
- 3:22Speaker 5: which is even bigger news. The president of the United
- 3:24Speaker 5: States of America has left the G seven Summit early,
- 3:29Speaker 5: which brings us to the big part of the story.
- 3:32Speaker 5: Monday night, the President departed a full day ahead of schedule.
- 3:36Speaker 5: The White House side of the escalating tensions between Israel
- 3:39Speaker 5: and Iran as the reason now. His early exit followed
- 3:43Speaker 5: completing a working dinner with G seven leaders, after which
- 3:47Speaker 5: he also chose not to sign the summit's Joint de
- 3:51Speaker 5: Escalation Statement. Instead, he arded civilians in Tehran to evacuate
- 3:57Speaker 5: via social media post, signaling a firm and unilateral US
- 4:01Speaker 5: stance with Israel. Trump also canceled key bilateral talks scheduled
- 4:06Speaker 5: for Tuesday, including with Ukraine Zolensky and Mexico's president as well.
- 4:12Speaker 2: And then there was the return to Washington, d C.
- 4:15Speaker 5: Reuters reporting at this moment that as Trump flew back
- 4:18Speaker 5: to d C, he requested that the National Security Council
- 4:22Speaker 5: be on standby in the White House Situation Room to
- 4:25Speaker 5: closely monitor developments within the Middle East. Additional news outlets
- 4:30Speaker 5: also note that senior national security staff were assembling to
- 4:33Speaker 5: prepare for his return, signaling heightened coordination. Now, the White
- 4:38Speaker 5: House Press Secretary Caroline Levitt told the press that Trump's
- 4:41Speaker 5: return was because of what's going on in the Middle East,
- 4:44Speaker 5: not hiding the reality of the situation. And while in Canada,
- 4:47Speaker 5: Trump secured a trade deal also that is not being
- 4:51Speaker 5: really reported on with the UK, but refused to join
- 4:54Speaker 5: the G seven's collective statement as I mentioned earlier on
- 4:58Speaker 5: the Israel Iran de escalation, underscoring his independent agenda. Now,
- 5:03Speaker 5: the G seven host and other European leaders continued summit
- 5:07Speaker 5: discussions without Trump to press quote for diplomatic pressure on
- 5:11Speaker 5: the Iran Israel situation. So, in short, Trump's early departure
- 5:16Speaker 5: from the summit was driven by immediate security concerns in
- 5:19Speaker 5: the Middle East, and Trump is actively mobilizing his National
- 5:23Speaker 5: security apparatus on his return, putting the NSC on standby
- 5:27Speaker 5: to respond to the unfolding crisis. Now, let me be
- 5:31Speaker 5: very clear, we also have another thing that's happening in
- 5:34Speaker 5: the media, and it's the big lie that Donald Trump
- 5:37Speaker 5: is some guy that wants massive war when clearly he's
- 5:40Speaker 5: saying he wants peace. But he's also been clear about
- 5:43Speaker 5: something else. There was no way that Iran would be
- 5:47Speaker 5: allowed to have a nuclear weapon. How do we know this, Well,
- 5:51Speaker 5: you can go back to when he was running for
- 5:52Speaker 5: president in twenty fifteen, and what did the president say then,
- 5:56Speaker 5: and what has he been saying since then.
- 5:58Speaker 2: Well, here's a little mon to odds of the present.
- 6:01Speaker 5: Never wavering on his stance that Iran could never have
- 6:06Speaker 5: a nuclear weapon.
- 6:07Speaker 1: You cannot let Iran have a nuclear weapon. You cannot
- 6:11Speaker 1: let it happen because bad things will happen if that happens.
- 6:15Speaker 2: But everybody stopped. They were ready to make a deal.
- 6:17Speaker 3: We would have made a deal that was great for everybody.
- 6:19Speaker 2: No nuclear weapons.
- 6:20Speaker 1: You can't give them nuclear weapons. Now they can have
- 6:22Speaker 1: a nuclear weapon.
- 6:23Speaker 2: Don't let Iran have nuclear weapons.
- 6:27Speaker 1: That's my only thing I have to tell you today.
- 6:29Speaker 2: Don't let them have it. They would have never had.
- 6:31Speaker 1: Them, including around we would have They can't have a
- 6:34Speaker 1: nuclear weapon.
- 6:34Speaker 2: That's so they can't have nuclear weapons.
- 6:36Speaker 1: It's too destructive, too powerful.
- 6:39Speaker 2: They can't have it.
- 6:41Speaker 1: But I wanted to make a deal with them. No
- 6:42Speaker 1: nuclear weapons. You can't have nuclear weapons. Nuclear weapons are
- 6:46Speaker 1: the single greatest threat to this world, to the whole world,
- 6:50Speaker 1: and Victor Orban understands that, and some others do too.
- 6:53Speaker 1: I just don't want them to have a nuclear weapon.
- 6:55Speaker 2: And they weren't going to have one, and they cannot
- 6:57Speaker 2: have a nuclear weapon. That was the only thing, the
- 7:00Speaker 2: one thing I said, you cannot have.
- 7:02Speaker 1: I just didn't want Ran to have a nuclear weapon.
- 7:04Speaker 3: I said, you know, we're going to make a great deal.
- 7:05Speaker 1: Everybody's going to be happy.
- 7:07Speaker 3: You're going to be rich as hell again, everything's going
- 7:08Speaker 3: to be great.
- 7:09Speaker 1: But you cannot have a nuclear weapon.
- 7:12Speaker 6: You can't let a Ran have nuclear weapons.
- 7:15Speaker 2: I Ran cannot have a nuclear weapon. Very simple. They
- 7:19Speaker 2: cannot have a nuclear weapon.
- 7:22Speaker 1: Instead, we have a very hostile country that wants nuclear weapons.
- 7:28Speaker 2: Can't let that happen. The main thing is Iran can't
- 7:30Speaker 2: have a nuclear weapon. That was my main thing. The
- 7:32Speaker 2: deal was a simple deal.
- 7:34Speaker 1: A Ran can't have a nuclear you know, it can't
- 7:37Speaker 1: have a missile, can't have a nuclear missile. It cannot
- 7:40Speaker 1: have that nuclear capability.
- 7:42Speaker 3: Roan should not have a nuclear weapon. They should have
- 7:44Speaker 3: never been in a position where they could have had.
- 7:46Speaker 3: If I were president, they wouldn't even be thinking about
- 7:48Speaker 3: a nuclear weapon, and now they're months away from getting one.
- 7:52Speaker 5: You go back to what the president said. He says
- 7:55Speaker 5: it for a long time, whether it's trade in China,
- 7:58Speaker 5: taking advantage of America when he was saying in the
- 8:00Speaker 5: nineteen eighties that we need to have a trade war
- 8:02Speaker 5: and we need to stop being taken advantage of or
- 8:05Speaker 5: if it's the more than sixteen minutes of a montage
- 8:08Speaker 5: of President Trump's saying that Iran cannot be allowed to
- 8:11Speaker 5: have a nuclear weapon, over and over again. Iran cannot
- 8:15Speaker 5: have a nuclear weapon. They can't have a nuclear weapon.
- 8:18Speaker 5: Very simple, they can't have a nuclear weapon. We're not
- 8:21Speaker 5: going to allow them to have a nuclear weapon. So
- 8:23Speaker 5: why is the media now shocked and the rest of
- 8:26Speaker 5: the world shocked that Donald Trump is actually standing up
- 8:29Speaker 5: and saying yet again that Iran cannot have a nuclear weapon.
- 8:34Speaker 5: It is truly amazing just how crazy the media has become.
- 8:38Speaker 5: And now they want to say, oh, well, what's really
- 8:40Speaker 5: happening here is Donald Trump is war mongering, got to
- 8:43Speaker 5: get us into warld War three.
- 8:45Speaker 2: Here's what I can say.
- 8:47Speaker 5: It is obvious that the President of the United States
- 8:49Speaker 5: of America wasn't lying and he was telling you the
- 8:51Speaker 5: truth in fifteen and sixteen and seventeen and eighteen, in
- 8:54Speaker 5: twenty nineteen and twenty twenty, twenty twenty one, two twenty
- 8:59Speaker 5: twenty three, twenty two, twenty four, twenty twenty five, when
- 9:02Speaker 5: he said that Iran cannot get a nuclear weapon. There's
- 9:06Speaker 5: also something else that's happening right now in the Senate.
- 9:09Speaker 5: Fifty two Republican centers are now agreeing with President Trump.
- 9:13Speaker 5: Senator Cruz talking to Ben Shapiro, saying this.
- 9:16Speaker 6: Well, Bena, as you know, I led a letter of
- 9:19Speaker 6: fifty two Republican senators that we all came together and
- 9:22Speaker 6: we said we agree with President Donald J.
- 9:24Speaker 3: Trump.
- 9:25Speaker 6: President Trump has said repeatedly the red line is that
- 9:28Speaker 6: Iran must have complete dismantlement of its enrichment capacity, that
- 9:33Speaker 6: every centrifuse must be shut down. They must have no
- 9:37Speaker 6: capacity to enrich uranium at all. Now, what President Trump
- 9:40Speaker 6: said is you can either do that nicely through diplomacy
- 9:44Speaker 6: or you can do that through warfare.
- 9:45Speaker 5: So it's very clear that President Trump is building a
- 9:48Speaker 5: coalition with many members on Capitol Hill. And then there's
- 9:51Speaker 5: also speculation about what could be next. In fact, according
- 9:55Speaker 5: to Israeli Channel fourteen, President Trump out reporting is expected
- 10:02Speaker 5: their words to sign an order in the coming hours
- 10:05Speaker 5: to formally join the war between Israel and Iran. Channel
- 10:09Speaker 5: fourteen Israel saying this. There are also reports the US
- 10:13Speaker 5: itself is already attacking Tehran. There is very very significant
- 10:18Speaker 5: development in the coming hours that the Americans are behind
- 10:21Speaker 5: them and are moving forces towards the Middle East, moving aircraft,
- 10:24Speaker 5: carriers and planes and general towards the Middle East, really
- 10:28Speaker 5: to reinforce the forces and enter the war in a
- 10:32Speaker 5: very very official way. Now, again this is coming from
- 10:36Speaker 5: Israeli Channel fourteen. It is obvious that there's a lot
- 10:39Speaker 5: that is moving right now. Some of it may turn
- 10:42Speaker 5: out to be very real. Other reports may be inaccurate.
- 10:46Speaker 5: But there's one thing you can take to the bank.
- 10:48Speaker 5: That is that Donald Trump is said over and over
- 10:50Speaker 5: again that Iran cannot get a nuclear weapon. We know
- 10:55Speaker 5: that Israel and the people there are under attack and
- 10:58Speaker 5: surrounded on all sides. And it's also very clear that
- 11:01Speaker 5: the President says we will stand with Israel, allowing Israel
- 11:05Speaker 5: to protect and also to defend itself. Now, the Israeli
- 11:08Speaker 5: ambassador also was on TV earlier saying this about what's happening.
- 11:13Speaker 5: Pulled off a number of surprises. When the dust settles,
- 11:17Speaker 5: you're going to see some surprises on Thursday night and
- 11:20Speaker 5: Friday that will make the deeper operation almost seem simple,
- 11:29Speaker 5: the Israeli ambassador saying that the world should expect a
- 11:32Speaker 5: quote surprise later this week in its attacks on Iran
- 11:36Speaker 5: that will make the masad hesbela pager operation quote look simple. Now,
- 11:42Speaker 5: the President of the United States of America leaving the
- 11:45Speaker 5: summit to go back to Washington. What happens next for
- 11:48Speaker 5: the US we don't know, But what we do know
- 11:51Speaker 5: is that the President is clearly standing side by side
- 11:54Speaker 5: with our ally Israel.
