Trump Warns Iran while U.S. Military Assets Mobilize-Tehran is on Edge · The Ben Ferguson Podcast

• 0:01
  Speaker 1: So let's start with the latest breaking news, and that
• 0:04
  Speaker 1: is there's a real chance now but the United States
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: of America may join Israel in the war against Iran. Now,
• 0:12
  Speaker 1: let me explain why this could take place, and I
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: also understand what war means in twenty twenty five. Number one,
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: there is no chance that Donald Trump is going to
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: put troops on the ground. There will be no boots
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: on the ground. That is not what this means. That's
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: number one. Number Two, this is not an invasion of
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: Iraq or Afghanistan, which there have been many that have
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: been lying about that over the last several hours.
• 0:40
  Speaker 2: So I want to clear that up.
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: In fact, I've talked to several of my good friends
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: that work in the administration and they're saying that is
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: not even a remote possibility. What Donald Trump is saying
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: to Iran is simple surrender.
• 0:56
  Speaker 2: That's it.
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: Surrender and do the deal on your nuclear program or
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: prepare for your nuclear program to be annihilated. That is
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: what he is saying. And he's not mincing words on
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: this either, because as Donald Trump has said, look, we
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: can take total control of Iranian airspace as Israel is done.
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: And we also know where the iotola is hiding now.
• 1:20
  Speaker 2: We're not going to kill him right now.
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: But he's telling me Ittola, like you want to die, fine,
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: Like we can make that happen.
• 1:26
  Speaker 2: We know where you are and we can kill you.
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: We would rather not do that, but if you want
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: to stay in power, then you better do the damn deal.
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: And so what would this look like is I think
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: a better way of putting it. If we did get involved,
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: it would actually be very very simple. We would use
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: the technology that I think we're the only country that
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: has it to go after this nuclear site that is
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: very deep underground in Iran. Israel does not have the
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: technology to hit that deep. That's part of what you
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: need to understand. So again I go back to the
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: basic thing. Is this something that America needs to do?
• 2:05
  Speaker 2: Yes? I believe it it is, I really do.
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: I believe this isn't our best interest for us to
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: make sure that there is an Iran that UH is
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: not nuclear right. And Donald Trump's also been clear about
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: this for quite.
• 2:20
  Speaker 2: Some time in finct.
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: In fact, he's he has been so clear on this
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: since today came down the elevator ten years in one
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: day ago or ten years and two days ago, where
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: he said to the world that there's no circumstance where
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: Ran can get a nuclear weapon. There's no circumstance where
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: Ran can get a nuclear weapon that is significant, and
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: the President is not bluffing on this, Okay, Like the
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: President has made it very clear that you can't trust them.
• 2:52
  Speaker 2: Now, why can't you trust them?
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: Because they're a murders regime, Like that's what they are.
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: And they chant death to America and they chant death
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: to Israel.
• 3:01
  Speaker 2: So when that's what they.
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: Do and that is what they say, then I think you.
• 3:06
  Speaker 2: Just say, Okay, I actually believe you.
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: I believe you when you tell me that you want
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: to kill innocent men, women, children that are Americans, and
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: you want to annihilate the Jews. And if you have
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: a nuclear weapon, you will either do it or you'll
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: give it to one of your terrorist proxy groups that
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: you support and they will do it. There's also a
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: second part of what's happening right now that I think
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: people need to understand as well.
• 3:29
  Speaker 2: But first I got to ask you a question.
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: Are you one of those that is just so tired
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: of giving your money to radical left woke companies that
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: actually are fighting against your values every day?
• 3:40
  Speaker 2: Well, there are certain bills that you pay.
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: Every month that if you can go with a conservative company,
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: why not do it? In fact, why not go with
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: a conservative company actually takes part of your bill every
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: month that you're going to pay to somebody, and they
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: give it back to organizations that support your First and
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: your Second Amendment rights, that support the rights of born children,
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: that stand with our military, are first responders, and so
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: many wounded warriors that need help. Well, that bill I'm
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: talking about is your cell phone bill. And I've been
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: telling you for a long time about Patriot Mobile. But
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: there's no better time to switch than right now. Not
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: only does Patriot Mobile operate on all three major networks
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: in this country, yeah, all three. That means you get
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: the same great coverage you're used to right now, but
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: you also make a difference with every call you make
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: and every text you make.
• 4:32
  Speaker 2: And why would you want to give your money to
• 4:33
  Speaker 2: Big Mobile? Big Mobile has been giving big donations.
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: To democratic causes, democratic candidates, and radical left organizations. I'm
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: talking about organizations that actually support abortion. That is why
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: I want you to switch right now to Patriot Mobile.
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: Go ahead and make the switch, And it's so easy.
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: All you have to do is simply call Patriot Mobiles
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: one hundred percent US based team from the comfort of
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: your home or your office and they'll have you activated
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: in minutes. And if you're still locked in a contract,
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: not a problem. Patriots Mobile contract buyout program covers up
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: to five hundred dollars per device.
• 5:13
  Speaker 2: Keep your same number, keep your phone, or upgrade do
• 5:15
  Speaker 2: a new one. So back to my point, what are
• 5:17
  Speaker 2: you waiting for?
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: Call Patriot Mobile today and make a difference every single
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: day with every call you make. Patriot Mobile dot com
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: slash ferguson. That's Patriot Mobile dot com slash ferguson or
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: nine seven to two Patriot. And if you use the
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: promo code ferguson, you're gonna get a free month of
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: service on top of that Patriot Mobile dot com slash
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: ferguson or nine seven two Patriot. That's Patriot Mobile dot
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: com slash ferguson or nine seven to two Patriot.
• 5:48
  Speaker 2: Now that second part is this.
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: The President is also I think inspiring the people of
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: Iran and especially specifically in Tehran, to understand that, hey,
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: your government may not be as powerful as they actually
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: have been able to make you believe.
• 6:08
  Speaker 2: In fact, they're incredibly vulnerable.
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: Look at the traffic jams and the people leaving Tehran
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: as the President said.
• 6:16
  Speaker 2: Leave, evacuate.
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: They weren't listening to the leadership in Iran like that,
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: That's something they were not doing. They were listening to
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: the American president of the United States of America, and
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: they were leaving because the President said to evacuate Tehran.
• 6:31
  Speaker 2: And when he.
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: Did that, I think that also said a very Cauer message, like, Hey,
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: your guys that claim that they're in charge of your country,
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: that are holding you back and oppressing you in our
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: brutal dictators of a murder's regime, like they may be
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: a lot more vulnerable than.
• 6:47
  Speaker 2: You actually understand.
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: Also, having air superiority is part three of this.
• 6:55
  Speaker 2: The fact that Iran was.
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: Able to be decimated when it comes to their air
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: power virtually instantly by Israel, and now Israel can do
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: whatever they want to do, whenever they want to do it,
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: however they want to.
• 7:10
  Speaker 2: Do it over the skies of Israel or of Iran.
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: It is also incredibly telling, like it is unbelievable now
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: what we're looking at, and I mean this like it
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: is it is just amazing to me that we have
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: seen how quickly Iran has been just decimated and now
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: you can do whatever you want to do. Now you
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: put all this together in a perfect storm where we
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: are now And this is also I think a foreign
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: policy issue, or we're sitting the presence of the message
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: of the world, Like if I tell you, whether it's
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: tariffs or a nuclear program, that this is the deal,
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: and you don't believe me, watch.
• 7:51
  Speaker 2: How fast you find out?
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: Like this goes back to that FAFO mentality of this
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: of this administration, like watch and find out. You have
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: the President returning to Washington after cutting the G seven
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: Canada trip short. You have the President saying, everybody get
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: together in the situation room. You have the president telling
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: that clearly the vice president to go out and say, hey.
• 8:11
  Speaker 2: We may enter this war.
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: All of these different scenarios and just how quickly the
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: president is moving I think is just no one I
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: think believe the President would move this quick. And I
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: think he's shown people that like, hey, not only are
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: we going to move this quick, but you guys better
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: get the hell out of the way. Like when I
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: tell you something, if it's sixty days, And that was
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: a nice timeline that I gave you, right, it really was.
• 8:37
  Speaker 2: It was a nice timeline.
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: And the sixty day timeline that I gave you, you should
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: have paid attention and you should have listened. And if
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: you would have listened, then you wouldn't be in the scenario.
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: And so if you're the Iatota right now, you may
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: lose everything. I think that's also part of what the
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: President is saying. You want to lose everything. You want
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: to lose all your power and your life because we
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: know where you are and I could kill you right now.
• 9:03
  Speaker 2: If I want to.
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: The Israelis could kill you right now if they want to.
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: There's no reason for you try to run high because
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: we're gonna watch you. We know where you are, we
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: know where you're going, and if you think for a
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: moment that we can't kill you, then you're an idiot.
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: This is all part of the presence peace through strength,
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: showing you here's.
• 9:23
  Speaker 2: Your deadline, and I'm not screwing around now.
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: This deadline of sixty days was I also think a
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: very nice one. I really do. I think it was
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: a very nice deadline. It was one that gave them
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: not thirty days, but sixty days to do this. I
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: think that's a positive like that was showing that he
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: was really willing to come together and he was really
• 9:42
  Speaker 1: willing to have a conversation. Unfortunately, Iran and their you know,
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: murderous regime, for some reason, thought they were much more
• 9:52
  Speaker 1: powerful thany actually were. Well, all that's been shot to
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: hell now like it's all just been shot to hell.
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: And so where to point now? Where there are three
• 10:01
  Speaker 1: different scenarios in.
• 10:02
  Speaker 2: My mind that can happen.
• 10:03
  Speaker 1: Okay, Number one, we could have total regime change in
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: a Ran, and that could happen actually quickly if the
• 10:09
  Speaker 1: people rise up. Number Two, we could actually take out
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: the leader if we need to, or Israel could take
• 10:15
  Speaker 1: out the leader if he needs.
• 10:17
  Speaker 2: To, and that could be significant as well.
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: Or Three, they come to the deal and they surrender
• 10:22
  Speaker 1: and then everything just calms down very quickly. Those are
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: three very real and very different scenarios. By the way,
• 10:30
  Speaker 1: this is why I love doing the show in the
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: podcast because we get to keep you up to date
• 10:34

  Speaker 1: saying and doing when it comes as conflict, download the
• 10:51
  Speaker 1: forty seven Morning.
• 10:52
  Speaker 2: Update as well and you'll have that also.
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: There's also another aspect of this conversation, and it deals
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: with the under estimating, yet again by so many in
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: the media and so many on Capitolhill, of Donald Trump's
• 11:08
  Speaker 1: understanding of the issues here. Kat McFarland is a dear
• 11:11
  Speaker 1: friend of mine. She went on Fox Hus Channel with
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: Harris Faukner earlier today, and I want you to hear
• 11:17
  Speaker 1: what she had to say about the president's choice here
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: and deciphering military intelligence before he gets involved.
• 11:24
  Speaker 2: Like the President thinks about these things, He's not knee jerk. Listen.
• 11:27
  Speaker 3: Letico is calling the conflict Trump's moment of truth quote.
• 11:31
  Speaker 3: It's hard to overstate the significance of this moment. American
• 11:34
  Speaker 3: involvement in this war could end to Ron's nuclear ambitions
• 11:37
  Speaker 3: and even topple its autocratic government, reshaping the Middle East
• 11:41
  Speaker 3: for decades to come. The New York Times with this headline,
• 11:44
  Speaker 3: Trump's aron choice last chance diplomacy or a bunker busting bomb.
• 11:48
  Speaker 3: Katie McFarlane, former deputy National Security advisor to President Trump,
• 11:53
  Speaker 3: is here, and I know you have had many of
• 11:56
  Speaker 3: your children grown children serving in the military, and you
• 11:59
  Speaker 3: have a lot of experiences at these points in time
• 12:02
  Speaker 3: when presidents were making these types of decisions. What stands
• 12:05
  Speaker 3: out to you the president in with his advisors today.
• 12:08
  Speaker 4: Look, I've been in the situation room with President Trump
• 12:11
  Speaker 4: where he's had to make decisions like this.
• 12:14
  Speaker 2: He is really good.
• 12:15
  Speaker 4: This is his finest moment. He's cool, He gathers intelligence,
• 12:19
  Speaker 4: he doesn't get the yips. He finds out from his
• 12:22
  Speaker 4: military leaders, his diplomatic leaders, his intelligence leaders, what are
• 12:26
  Speaker 4: his options, and then he probably thinks of two or
• 12:28
  Speaker 4: three other options that nobody else has thought of.
• 12:30
  Speaker 2: So what am I looking for right now?
• 12:32
  Speaker 4: President Trump has said it pretty well, Aron's not going
• 12:35
  Speaker 4: to get a nuclear weapon, and then he said, well,
• 12:37
  Speaker 4: let's wait and see.
• 12:39
  Speaker 2: President Trump. I don't think he needs to.
• 12:41
  Speaker 4: Make the decision right now of whether to attack Florida,
• 12:44
  Speaker 4: whether or not to attack Florido. Who knows what the
• 12:47
  Speaker 4: Israelis have. We know that the Israelis have commandos on
• 12:49
  Speaker 4: the ground in Iran. Maybe there are other ways to
• 12:52
  Speaker 4: destroy that nuclear weapons site other than bunker busting bombs
• 12:55
  Speaker 4: that American military drop.
• 12:57
  Speaker 3: Yeah, and I see you focusing on that because that
• 12:59
  Speaker 3: fourto is exactly what people are saying. If you don't
• 13:02
  Speaker 3: take that out, you don't take away that pause in
• 13:05
  Speaker 3: future capability. I want to get to this because sometimes
• 13:09
  Speaker 3: our assets can be enough for an enemy to see
• 13:12
  Speaker 3: and they are on the move. The USS Nimics, which
• 13:14
  Speaker 3: is the oldest active US aircraft carrier, deployed from the
• 13:18
  Speaker 3: South China Sea yesterday headed toward the Middle East. Dozens
• 13:22
  Speaker 3: of Air Force refueling tanker aircraft have been moved to
• 13:25
  Speaker 3: Europe to position closer to the Mid East, giving President
• 13:29
  Speaker 3: Trump and a SITCOM commander more tactical options. And it's
• 13:33
  Speaker 3: just part of the United States effort to shift military resources,
• 13:37
  Speaker 3: including ships, to the region as tensions are obviously escalating.
• 13:41
  Speaker 3: So you've got that on the move, and that in
• 13:42
  Speaker 3: itself sends a signal your thoughts.
• 13:44
  Speaker 5: K T.
• 13:45
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 13:45
  Speaker 4: I was in the Reagan administration working at the Pentagon
• 13:47
  Speaker 4: the last time the United States and Iran had Canaan.
• 13:51
  Speaker 4: We're close to a military conflagration, shall we say, I
• 13:55
  Speaker 4: mean Iran was trying to do things in the Gulf
• 13:58
  Speaker 4: and the United States maybe just stopped and cold. And
• 14:01
  Speaker 4: a lot of the senior leadership now of the Iranian
• 14:03
  Speaker 4: military would have been the young military officers in the
• 14:07
  Speaker 4: nineteen eighties when that happened.
• 14:09
  Speaker 2: They would certainly be aware of it.
• 14:10
  Speaker 4: I don't think they want to tangle with the United
• 14:12
  Speaker 4: States because, as President Trump has said, you know, don't
• 14:15
  Speaker 4: mess with Americans, and he said it whether he's talked
• 14:17
  Speaker 4: to the Taliban, whether he's talked to the Russians, where
• 14:20
  Speaker 4: he's talk to anybody, you harm the hair on the
• 14:22
  Speaker 4: head of one American and then we're coming to get you.
• 14:25
  Speaker 4: So that's got to be a huge deterney, especially for
• 14:28
  Speaker 4: a leadership which is probably under a certain amount of
• 14:31
  Speaker 4: internal stress. I mean, if you're the Iatola, if you're
• 14:34
  Speaker 4: those generals, you've got to look at the guys to
• 14:36
  Speaker 4: your left to you're right. Massad is thoroughly integrated and infiltrated.
• 14:40
  Speaker 4: A lot of the military and Iran and the leadership
• 14:43
  Speaker 4: in iron they've got to worry about their own job security.
• 14:47
  Speaker 1: I mean, really, do I actually agree with the New
• 14:49
  Speaker 1: York Times as Katy was talking about there with their
• 14:51
  Speaker 1: headline right, Trump's Iran choice last chance diplomacy or a
• 14:55
  Speaker 1: bunker busting bomb, and.
• 14:57
  Speaker 2: She described it.
• 14:58
  Speaker 1: She said, Hey, he doesn't actually have to make that
• 15:01
  Speaker 1: decision right now, but you can move the chips to
• 15:06
  Speaker 1: isolate Iran's leadership and say, you guys want to still
• 15:09
  Speaker 1: be alive, You guys still want to be in charge
• 15:11
  Speaker 1: of your country.
• 15:12
  Speaker 2: Do you really want to play chicken with us this way?
• 15:14
  Speaker 1: I'm not sure you do, because I'm in charge right
• 15:17
  Speaker 1: now and I'm.
• 15:18
  Speaker 2: Not screwing around now.
• 15:20
  Speaker 1: The Iranian Foreign minister, by the way, also had this
• 15:23
  Speaker 1: to say moments ago with Larry Kudlow and Fox Business.
• 15:27
  Speaker 2: Take a listen.
• 15:28
  Speaker 6: Another thing from President Trump. He is telling people in
• 15:33
  Speaker 6: Tehran to evacuate immediately. That's a very forceful statement from
• 15:40
  Speaker 6: our president, as you know, is a man of straight talk.
• 15:44
  Speaker 6: How should we interpret that? What do you think the
• 15:47
  Speaker 6: next step is? Is the United States going to join
• 15:50
  Speaker 6: the war? Is it just defensive? I mean, why have
• 15:54
  Speaker 6: Tehran evacuate immediately?
• 15:56
  Speaker 2: In your view?
• 15:57
  Speaker 7: First of all, I would like to think President Trump
• 16:00
  Speaker 7: and think the US for the support they are giving us,
• 16:04
  Speaker 7: you know, defense, It is appreciated here. We will never
• 16:10
  Speaker 7: decide for others. It's the president that decides for the
• 16:15
  Speaker 7: US based on American interests and define what are the
• 16:20
  Speaker 7: American national security interest and they will have their decisions,
• 16:25
  Speaker 7: and we can only say thank you for the support
• 16:29
  Speaker 7: we are getting for the US.
• 16:30
  Speaker 6: But mister Trump is also adding, and this is a
• 16:33
  Speaker 6: key phrase, a historic phrase, he wants unconditional surrender. Now,
• 16:39
  Speaker 6: I hadn't actually heard anybody say that before. There's a
• 16:42
  Speaker 6: long and glorious history of that term, going all the
• 16:46
  Speaker 6: way back to Ulysses S. Grant in our Civil War
• 16:49
  Speaker 6: and of course going back to World War two. Unconditional
• 16:53
  Speaker 6: surrender is that in fact an Israeli goal.
• 16:57
  Speaker 8: Well, I.
• 16:59
  Speaker 7: Will tell you how I look at it. President Trump
• 17:03
  Speaker 7: was very consistent with saying that Iran shouldn't en reached
• 17:08
  Speaker 7: and one shouldn't.
• 17:10
  Speaker 2: Have a nuclear power.
• 17:12
  Speaker 7: And Iran played all the time they use negotiations only
• 17:16
  Speaker 7: to waste time. And during that time they also made
• 17:20
  Speaker 7: a progress getting closer to.
• 17:24
  Speaker 2: A nuclear bomb.
• 17:26
  Speaker 7: As a matter of fact, they were very they were
• 17:28
  Speaker 7: very close to a nuclear bomb. Try to also deal
• 17:32
  Speaker 7: with the weaponization. So the way I see it is
• 17:36
  Speaker 7: when President Trump is saying that, he means the same
• 17:40
  Speaker 7: thing he said previously that they shouldn't have a nuclear
• 17:45
  Speaker 7: weapons and they shouldn't and reach and until now Iran
• 17:50
  Speaker 7: just wasted time, deceived live. The IEEA simply said, they
• 17:57
  Speaker 7: are in a position of breaching their commitments, in a
• 18:02
  Speaker 7: position of non compliance. But the Iranian reaction was, well,
• 18:06
  Speaker 7: we will open a new facility and you enrichment facility.
• 18:11
  Speaker 7: So this behavior is not acceptable anymore. And President Trump
• 18:16
  Speaker 7: is a leader of the free world who is simply
• 18:20
  Speaker 7: saying it, very very simply, in a very simple way.
• 18:24
  Speaker 1: I mean, you listen to the Israeli Foreign minister quote.
• 18:26
  Speaker 1: I would like to thank President Trump and thank the
• 18:28
  Speaker 1: US for support they're giving us and our defense. This
• 18:32
  Speaker 1: comes back to the issue of defense. Katie and mc
• 18:37
  Speaker 1: McFarland saying Trump is really good in deciphering military intelligence,
• 18:41
  Speaker 1: and again this comes back to the issue of defense.
• 18:45
  Speaker 2: The State Department spokesman.
• 18:47
  Speaker 1: Today she put it this way, Cammy Bruce.
• 18:52
  Speaker 2: At the podium at the Defense Department, Listen, that is
• 18:55
  Speaker 2: up to the president.
• 18:56
  Speaker 8: He is the singular guiding hand about what will be
• 18:59
  Speaker 8: a cur from this point forward, as he has been,
• 19:03
  Speaker 8: and I think that that dynamic is pretty clear. He
• 19:07
  Speaker 8: says he wants an end as he has said about
• 19:10
  Speaker 8: every conflict that he has as a peacemaker, worked to
• 19:15
  Speaker 8: stop peacefully through diplomacy. That has been his commitment. And
• 19:20
  Speaker 8: he wants these things, as he said about a number
• 19:23
  Speaker 8: of situations, not for a month or six months, but
• 19:26
  Speaker 8: durable ends to this nature of forever wars. And that
• 19:31
  Speaker 8: has been his posture. And that's his posture now.
• 19:35
  Speaker 1: That is his posture now. President Trump is seeking a
• 19:38
  Speaker 1: durable end to this nature of forever wars. And this
• 19:42
  Speaker 1: has been his posture, and that is his posture now.
• 19:45
  Speaker 1: Like he's not changing, he has not been changing. And
• 19:50
  Speaker 1: this is the president of the United States of America saying,
• 19:53
  Speaker 1: you've got an option.
• 19:54
  Speaker 2: Either you get rid of nuclear proiferation.
• 19:57
  Speaker 1: Where we can verify it and you do a deal,
• 20:00
  Speaker 1: or we'll do it for you, and there's a very
• 20:02
  Speaker 1: good chance that we will act, and there's a very
• 20:04
  Speaker 1: good chance you could lose everything, including your life. And
• 20:07
  Speaker 1: that is him speaking directly the leader of Iran. You
• 20:10
  Speaker 1: want to know what strength and peace looks like. You
• 20:12
  Speaker 1: want to know what a leadership can you imagine, By
• 20:14
  Speaker 1: the way, if Joe Biden was president right now or
• 20:16
  Speaker 1: Kamala Hairs, we wouldn't even be having this conversation. The
• 20:19
  Speaker 1: conversation we'd be having is about Iran becoming a nuclear country.
• 20:23
  Speaker 2: That's the conversation we'd be having.
• 20:26
  Speaker 1: Donald Trump's hardline stance on Iran's nuclear program and what
• 20:30
  Speaker 1: that means moving forward is becoming much more clear. Donald
• 20:34
  Speaker 1: Trump number one demanding Iran's unconditional surrender. Trump escalating his
• 20:41
  Speaker 1: rhetoric in light of the recent Israel Iran strikes, calling
• 20:45
  Speaker 1: for Ran to surrender and warning civilians to evacuate to Ran.
• 20:51
  Speaker 1: We also know that it's clear what the President wants
• 20:53
  Speaker 1: to do. It is targeting Iran's nuclear sites. Let's be clear,
• 20:58
  Speaker 1: this is not about a war or an invasion or
• 21:01
  Speaker 1: boots on the ground. Trump is not ruling out strikes
• 21:05
  Speaker 1: and Iran's nuclear facilities, but he's also made it clear
• 21:09
  Speaker 1: he's not wanting to invade anything at all. He has
• 21:12
  Speaker 1: even made it clear to the Supreme Leader, calling him
• 21:15
  Speaker 1: quote an easy target, those saying killing him is not
• 21:19
  Speaker 1: on the table for now. Why did he say that,
• 21:22
  Speaker 1: warning the Supreme Leader that you better not harm a
• 21:25
  Speaker 1: single American troop in the Middle East? Now, it's very
• 21:29
  Speaker 1: clear that Iran could in fact go after American soldiers,
• 21:33
  Speaker 1: and the President wanted to get ahead of that, saying
• 21:36
  Speaker 1: if you want to die, because I know where you are,
• 21:39
  Speaker 1: I can take you out at any moment, So you
• 21:42
  Speaker 1: better not retaliate and go after any American bases or
• 21:48
  Speaker 1: servicemen and women. Targeting Iran's nuclear sites is what this
• 21:52
  Speaker 1: is really all about.
• 21:54
  Speaker 2: And now we know that the.
• 21:55
  Speaker 1: President is mobilizing military assets as well.
• 21:58
  Speaker 2: The US is now.
• 21:59
  Speaker 1: Positioned bombers, refueling tankers, and aircraft carriers the Carl Vincent
• 22:04
  Speaker 1: and the nimits to the region as a show of force.
• 22:08
  Speaker 1: We also know the Vice President is playing a major
• 22:11
  Speaker 1: role in the diplomacy. Jeddy Vance is also playing the
• 22:14
  Speaker 1: role of reassuring skeptics Vans, countering those within the base
• 22:19
  Speaker 1: who are saying that Donald Trump should just be an
• 22:22
  Speaker 1: isolationist and should not get involved at all, making it
• 22:25
  Speaker 1: clear that Trump has an obligation to defend America and
• 22:29
  Speaker 1: make sure that Iran doesn't get a nuclear weapon to
• 22:32
  Speaker 1: attack American citizens as well as our ally Israel. Now
• 22:37
  Speaker 1: stressing restraint is also part of what the White House
• 22:40
  Speaker 1: is talking about. They are signaling, yes, potential military action,
• 22:45
  Speaker 1: but it would be extremely limited to the nuclear sites.
• 22:49
  Speaker 1: Both Vance and other administration officials are stressing that the
• 22:52
  Speaker 1: immediate full scale action of even going after these new
• 22:56
  Speaker 1: nuclear sites has not been confirmed.
• 22:59
  Speaker 2: And you got put this in a broader context.
• 23:02
  Speaker 1: There is clear support for the president at home for
• 23:06
  Speaker 1: him to go after Randse nuclear sites, but there's also
• 23:10
  Speaker 1: clear polling to show that Americans do not want boots
• 23:13
  Speaker 1: on the ground. They do not want to invade Iran either,
• 23:17
  Speaker 1: and that is what Donald Trump has been very clear about.
• 23:21
  Speaker 1: He has no intention of doing that.
• 23:23
  Speaker 2: Now.
• 23:23
  Speaker 1: The other question is when will the decision be made.
• 23:26
  Speaker 1: The State Department spokesman saying this about the President earlier.
• 23:30
  Speaker 8: EXCEP to the president, he is the singular guiding hand
• 23:33
  Speaker 8: about what will be occurring from this point forward, as
• 23:37
  Speaker 8: he has been, and I think that that dynamic is
• 23:41
  Speaker 8: pretty clear. He says he wants an end, as he
• 23:44
  Speaker 8: has said about every conflict that he has as a
• 23:48
  Speaker 8: peacemaker worked to stop peacefully through diplomacy. That has been
• 23:53
  Speaker 8: his commitment. And he wants these things, as he said
• 23:57
  Speaker 8: about in a number of situations for a month or
• 24:00
  Speaker 8: six months, but durable ends to this nature of forever wars,
• 24:06
  Speaker 8: and that has been his posture, and that's his posture.
• 24:09
  Speaker 1: Now it's very clear. The President does not want this
• 24:12
  Speaker 1: to continue on. That's why he gave that sixty day
• 24:15
  Speaker 1: window to get a deal done with Iran. And once
• 24:17
  Speaker 1: sixty days was up, the President then said, okay, and
• 24:21
  Speaker 1: now we're going to have to let Israel do what
• 24:23
  Speaker 1: Israel needs to do to protect and defend itself. Now,
• 24:26
  Speaker 1: President Trump also has major allies in Congress who are
• 24:30
  Speaker 1: coming out clearly stating that they believe the President has
• 24:34
  Speaker 1: the right and an obligation to protect America and take
• 24:38
  Speaker 1: out a Rand's nuclear program. Senator Cruz, talking with Sean
• 24:42
  Speaker 1: Hannity earlier, said this.
• 24:44
  Speaker 2: Here with reaction.
• 24:45
  Speaker 9: Texas Senator Ted Kruz, Senator, it is amazing. I watched
• 24:50
  Speaker 9: the president. You should have listened. I gave you time.
• 24:53
  Speaker 9: I watched the President warn the people of Tehran and
• 24:57
  Speaker 9: we'll show more.
• 24:57
  Speaker 2: Video of it to get out.
• 25:00
  Speaker 9: And there's like millions of people listening to Donald Trump.
• 25:04
  Speaker 9: They're not getting that message from the leadership of Iran.
• 25:07
  Speaker 9: They're getting it from the President of the United States
• 25:10
  Speaker 9: showing that he cares about human life.
• 25:12
  Speaker 5: Well, listen, President Trump, throughout this conflict has been fantastic.
• 25:15
  Speaker 5: I spoke to the President on Sunday and just told him,
• 25:18
  Speaker 5: I said, your leadership has been so critical on this,
• 25:21
  Speaker 5: and he made clear Iran is not getting a nuclear
• 25:24
  Speaker 5: weapon and he is standing with Israel. I believe our
• 25:27
  Speaker 5: position should be we stand unequivocally with the state of Israel,
• 25:31
  Speaker 5: and I'll make a point, Israel is doing an enormous
• 25:35
  Speaker 5: favor to the United States right now. I believe the
• 25:37
  Speaker 5: most acute near term security threat facing America is the
• 25:41
  Speaker 5: threat of a nuclear Iran because the Iyatola is a
• 25:44
  Speaker 5: religious nutcase. He is a theocratic mass murderer, and when
• 25:49
  Speaker 5: he chants death to America and death to Israel, he
• 25:52
  Speaker 5: does so in front of mobs of people. He also
• 25:55
  Speaker 5: refers to Israel as the Little Satan and America as
• 25:58
  Speaker 5: the Great Satan. There is a reason the Ayatola is
• 26:01
  Speaker 5: developing ICBMs. ICBMs are intercontinental ballistic missiles. You don't need
• 26:06
  Speaker 5: an ICBM to bomb Israel. They're bombing Israel with ballistic missiles.
• 26:11
  Speaker 5: You need an ICBM to get to America. If Iran
• 26:16
  Speaker 5: gets a nuclear weapon, I think the odds are unacceptably
• 26:19
  Speaker 5: high that we would find out with a mushroom cloud
• 26:22
  Speaker 5: over New York City or Los Angeles or Tel Aviv
• 26:25
  Speaker 5: and Israel, and what Israel has said is we.
• 26:28
  Speaker 2: Are going to act.
• 26:29
  Speaker 5: Israel is a tiny country, it's the size of the
• 26:31
  Speaker 5: state of New Jersey, and they are taking out Iran's
• 26:34
  Speaker 5: military with surgical precision. They're taking out virtually all of
• 26:38
  Speaker 5: the senior leaders of the military. They're taking out their
• 26:40
  Speaker 5: nuclear scientists, they are leveling nuclear facilities on the ground.
• 26:44
  Speaker 5: And I think President Trump is exactly right to say
• 26:47
  Speaker 5: we stand with Israel. And I'm with a seventy five
• 26:50
  Speaker 5: percent of Americans that agree with the President's strong stance
• 26:53
  Speaker 5: to keep America safe. That's the commander in chief's number
• 26:57
  Speaker 5: one job, to protect American lives and keep them marta
• 27:00
  Speaker 5: Erica safe.
• 27:00
  Speaker 2: That's what Donald Trump is doing today.
• 27:03
  Speaker 1: By the way, this brings me to another big story,
• 27:05
  Speaker 1: and it's a story that they're trying to play up
• 27:08
  Speaker 1: on TV, the story that there's some massive divide between
• 27:11
  Speaker 1: the MAGA movement. There isn't actually that big of a
• 27:15
  Speaker 1: divide at all. The majority of people that I know
• 27:18
  Speaker 1: are supporting President Donald Trump and his actions, and they're
• 27:21
  Speaker 1: glad that we have a president that is standing up
• 27:24
  Speaker 1: and willing to protect and defend all of us. The Dems,
• 27:28
  Speaker 1: by the way, have also gone completely silent on this
• 27:32
  Speaker 1: Israel Iran conflict. It's a question that many of us,
• 27:36
  Speaker 1: and the media especially should be asking, what do you
• 27:39
  Speaker 1: think and why are you being so quiet?
• 27:42
  Speaker 2: Jesse Waters bringing that up on Fox.
• 27:45
  Speaker 10: Trump's consumed in one of the most consequential moments of
• 27:48
  Speaker 10: his presidency. Nukes, oil casualties, mid East strategy, the six
• 27:53
  Speaker 10: are high, and the Republican Party is having an open debate.
• 27:56
  Speaker 2: But the Democrat parties know.
• 27:57
  Speaker 10: Where to be found.
• 27:58
  Speaker 2: They've gone silent.
• 28:00
  Speaker 10: An historical moment where the leading foreign policy voices of
• 28:04
  Speaker 10: the Democrat Party, the strategist, the Hawks, the doves, anybody,
• 28:07
  Speaker 10: does anybody have an opinion? Democrats don't know what to
• 28:10
  Speaker 10: say because they have to be told what to say,
• 28:13
  Speaker 10: and no one's telling them. We haven't heard a word
• 28:15
  Speaker 10: from Hillary, Obama, Biden, Kammelin, not even Susan Rice or
• 28:18
  Speaker 10: Blink and carry.
• 28:20
  Speaker 2: Where are all these people?
• 28:21
  Speaker 10: While Trump tries to manage wars overseas, Democrats are trying
• 28:25
  Speaker 10: to kick off a civil.
• 28:26
  Speaker 2: War here at home.
• 28:27
  Speaker 1: Jesse's absolutely right, where are the people on the left,
• 28:30
  Speaker 1: Which brings me to my final point. There's a very
• 28:33
  Speaker 1: good chance and by the time you even hear this show,
• 28:36
  Speaker 1: we may find out that Donald Trump has ordered our
• 28:39
  Speaker 1: US military to attack the nuclear sites in Iran and
• 28:44
  Speaker 1: why did he do it?
• 28:45
  Speaker 2: To protect all of us?
• 28:47
  Speaker 1: And that is something that every American should be proud of. Unfortunately,
• 28:52
  Speaker 1: there are going to be many detractors who are going
• 28:54
  Speaker 1: to say that Donald Trump is getting us into World
• 28:57
  Speaker 1: War three, when the reality is he's probably preventing it.
• 29:01
  Speaker 1: Make sure you share this podcast with your family and friends,
• 29:04
  Speaker 1: put it up on social media wherever you are, and
• 29:07
  Speaker 1: we appreciate you listening every day.
• 29:09
  Speaker 2: We'll see you back here tomorrow.
