Speaker 1 (00:00):
Israel strike on Iran. So I want to and I
want to do it in this order. I want to
go through everything that those well everybody the left and
the right that are hearing from the cabal about what
are the so called talking heads, the so called experts,
(00:22):
the pundits, what are all of them saying? And they're
all over the place. And then let's talk about probably
a couple of group of people, two sets of groups
that are probably ecstatic about this, and rightfully so. And
(00:43):
then let's go to the third level, which is, I
know in everybody's mind is could this lead to World
War III? And not to bury the lead, but anything
going on could potentially lead to World War three doesn't
mean that it will. But maybe we ought to just
(01:05):
objectively look at some of the things that could happen
and then look at the counterbalancing things that are not happening,
and then realize that, well, yeah, so this is it
is what it is, And let's kind of step off
from the cliff. It's there's no rhyme or reason to
(01:28):
this order. This is just the order that our clipping
service puts them in. So I guess technically they're in
chronological order, and it starts yesterday and yesterday in I
don't remember what hour it was, but sometime yesterday we
were talking about the actions that were taking place in
(01:49):
the Middle East. And I not like some Karnak or something,
but just based on my understanding of how these things work,
predicted that, oh, strike is probably imminent, and imminent can
mean you know, like it turned out to be last night,
or imminent could have been you know, this morning, or
(02:11):
it could have been Saturday or Sunday. But imminent turned
to be turned out to be more imminent than we
thought imminent might be. They were discussing it yesterday on CNN, removing.
Speaker 2 (02:24):
The military threat effectively. And finally, does that from in
your opinion, does that require more than just Israel directly
directly engaging It doesn't require the United States other partners
of Israel.
Speaker 1 (02:43):
Now this Istali Bennett, who's the former Prime Minister in Israel,
responding to Andersen Pooper, Well.
Speaker 3 (02:52):
Not necessarily. I think by and large Israel has the
ability to take this on itself. I can only assume
that you know, America knew about this, where there was
some degree of coordination, though I'm not in the know.
I want to emphasize this. I do want to say
(03:13):
that Iran was warned endless times to stop producing uranium
towards nuclear bombs to stop the regional terror. I'll remind
you that Iran attacked to Israel twice with barrages of
missiles last year.
Speaker 1 (03:30):
And actually two points that I want to emphasize. The
Iranians were the sponsor the in fact, they are the
largest state sponsor of terrorism in the world, and they
sponsored hasb Hamas the Hoho thies everything going on in
the Middle East, and indeed they have attacked Israel before.
(03:54):
And then the details in so far as the enrichment
of uranium had reached the point where they could within
weeks have weapons grade uranium, and they had announced it
was common this is public domain intelligence. You don't have
to have a clearance to know this. That they had
(04:16):
already talked about, Yeah, we're going to do a test
of a couple of ballistic missiles. And as I explained yesterday,
what that meant was they were going to put two
ton warheads on top of some ICBMs and they were
going to fire them, you know, into maybe into the
Persian Gulf, into the Black Sea, maybe into the Mediterranean,
(04:39):
but somewhat close. They don't want to get it too
far away because they don't they don't want to run
the risk of it landing somewhere on land in some
foreign country. Well, that's at an instant precursor to arming
those two ton warheads with nuclear weapons. So when you
(05:01):
announce that you're going to test these, why would you
test them other than I mean, you could test them
just for in terms of provocation if you have a
death wish, or you could test them like Kim Jong un.
Tim's to do because he's developed to the next stage
of whatever improvement or advancement that he's made, and he
wants to test it to make sure it's going to work.
Speaker 3 (05:24):
And Iron is responsible for funding the commas Chrismala, essentially
an octopus of terror across the Middle East, sending its
arms everywhere. Now it's time to hit the head of
the octopus. And that's what's happening right now. We've been
talking about this for years, but it's time to hit
the head of the octopus, and now we're doing it.
Speaker 2 (05:47):
It seems Israel has been effective over the years at
targeting specific individuals involved in the nuclear program. I assume
you feel the time for that sort of action, that
this requires more direct action.
Speaker 3 (06:03):
Now, that's correct. There's only so much you can do
by you know, squeezer type approaches. At some point you
got a hit octopus on the head and that exhausted itself.
And this is the more effective action. This is a
(06:25):
preemptive action to prevent them from acquiring nuclear weapons the
way North Korea acquired nuclear weapons. We don't want them
to reach that point, and that's why we have to act.
We did this twice before, by the way, Anderson, we
did this once in Iraq in nineteen eighty one and
prevented Saddam Hussein from obtaining nuclear weapons, and again in
(06:48):
two thousand and seven and we prevented Asad from obtaining
nuclear weapons. The whole Middle East and the world would
become hell if Aaron gets the their weapons.
Speaker 1 (07:00):
And there and there's the money quote from Anderson's interview.
The whole Middle East and the world would become hell
if Iran gets nuclear weapons. That's the bottom line, and
that's that's the measure by which we need to look
at all of this. I mean, all these things about
World War three. Who's happy about this? Who's not happy?
(07:23):
About it. Democrats have already stepped into the fray, with
the exception of John Fetterman talking about how this shows
you know, this was this all occurred because and there's
no doubt in my mind, there's no doubt in my
mind that while there may be some plausible deniability, that
(07:44):
Netanyahu did not do this without informing directly the President
of the United States what he was about to do,
which is why the President continued yesterday to talk about
how he's giving. You know, he in his typical hyperbole,
he thinks that, you know, we're pretty close to a deal.
In fact, you know, we're very close to a deal.
(08:06):
I heard that quote again driving in this morning. Well, no,
we probably weren't anywhere near close to a deal. Were
we talking? Yes? Is that a major improvement. Yes, But
if you're talking to talk and you're just meeting in
uh do ha do hall wherever you happen to be meeting,
doesn't any difference. And you're just meeting and just talking,
(08:28):
but you're not making any progress.
Speaker 4 (08:31):
You know.
Speaker 1 (08:32):
It's like when I get called into meetings that are
just meetings to have meetings, to have meetings, it drives
me up the wall as I know it does you,
and I know you've had to do that too. There.
It's just crazy. The fact that so many people are
(08:53):
willing to draw our domestic politics into this. I'm fascinating,
fascinating because the willingness of people to, oh, what's how
would I forrag, The willingness of people to draw domestic
(09:17):
politics into something which they do not understand the full
worldwide ramifications of it, which, let me just leap for
a second, the potential of World War III, or the
potential of the Strait of Hermus or or any of
these shipping lanes being totally shut down. And I don't
want to give away too much. I don't bury too
(09:39):
much of the lead, but the the world has shrunk
to the point where as much as Trump is pushing
an America First agenda, which I support, and trying to
reindustrialize this country, which I do support, and which I
(10:00):
think we need to become less reliant on foreign countries
for the goods and services that we use in this country,
we're never going to completely unroll that. We're never going
to completely roll that back. It's just the way we
operate now. And I don't think absent a total destruction
(10:23):
of the world and everybody's starting from scratch. Nothing's going
to change, but the domestic politics of it drive me batty.
And who's the first to jump in the fray, our
own Congressman Jason Crow.
Speaker 5 (10:38):
I also want to get you on some news that
President Trump made just in the last hour. He said
that Israel could quote very well have military action against Iran.
He was asked if that was imminent, but how concerned
are you about a situation like that and what it
could set off within the region.
Speaker 1 (10:54):
This is at two o'clock Eastern yesterday.
Speaker 6 (11:00):
Let's be clear that a conflict between Israel and Iran
could rapidly spin out of control and create an enormous
crisis in the Middle East and actually jeopardize the lives
of tens of thousands of Americans, both military and civilian.
Speaker 1 (11:15):
You know, let's listen to it again, because there's two
sides to what he's saying, but he never wants to
address the other side of the coin that he's flipping
up in the air.
Speaker 6 (11:27):
Ron could rapidly spin out of control and create an
enormous The clearer that a conflict between Israel and Iran
could rapidly spin out of control.
Speaker 1 (11:39):
And a conflict between Israel and Iran could rapidly spin
out of control. Now, I'll let we'll finish his statement
in a minute. But what if he's saying that the
problem is the Israelis. The Israelis are sovereign nation, they
(12:01):
have a right to exist. The Malas the Iranians have
chanted death to America and in fact, Solomony, the guy
that Trump killed back in twenty twenty, the head of
the Kuds force, he wanted on his gravestone something to
the effect that, you know, let it be noted that
(12:24):
I was the one that destroyed Israel or attempted to
destroy Israel, because that was his objective. They literally want
to impose a modern day, well modern day twenty twenty
five Holocaust. They want to exterminate Jews, They wanted to
exterminate Judaism. If there was a group out there, I
(12:46):
would say to Jason Crow, if there was a group
out there that wanted to destroy the entire Negroid race,
would you still be equivocating about that? Or would you
say no, no, that's unacceptable, or the entire race of
mongoloids all Asians? Would you be oh, you know this?
(13:08):
Could this be the brink of a conflict could end
up being uh, you know, an entire conflagration for the
entire world. What they don't understand, well, actually I think
they do understand it, but what they're unwilling to articulate
(13:29):
is that the threat is not Israel. The threat are
those who want to destroy Israel. And I'll give you
a little hint about when I finally get to the
point about there are a couple of cheering sections for
what's going on that are golf clapping. They're just very
(13:53):
quietly clapping and probably you know, saying some prayers, lighting
some candles and hoping that Israel succeeds. And I would
say that are the citizens of Iran who want the mullas.
It's a horrific regime. They're almost as bad as North Korea.
(14:15):
They're not quite as bad as North Korea, but they're
pretty bad. They much like the Chinese Communist Party. They
disappear people, they've destroyed their economy. The people live, I mean,
the Persian people live. I mean they have a great legacy.
They have a legacy of you know, doing wonderful things
(14:38):
for the world, and that legacy is being destroyed by
these mulas. Who are fanatics, absolute fanatics. So the people
of Iran are quietly hoping that, yeah, maybe those crazy
Jews that the Mullas tell us are so bad, maybe
they could topple this regime wh regime change. Maybe they
(15:01):
could topple this regime and we could live in some
sort of some semblance of freedom again. New House is
quietly clapping every other Middle Eastern country, with maybe the
exception of Yemen, the Saudis, the Kuwaitis, the Qataris, the UAE,
(15:22):
they're all desperately hoping because they see Iran as an
existential threat to.
Speaker 6 (15:32):
Them and create an enormous crisis in the Middle East
and actually jeopardize the lives of tens of thousands of
Americans bost military and civilian that live it and work
in that area. And this is a consequence of a
complete lack of a policy by this administration.
Speaker 1 (15:48):
Oh okay, so a lack of a policy by this administration.
So the administration's policy has been, let's of full throated
support to Israel, their right to exist, the right to
defend themselves. And at the same time that we do that,
(16:09):
let's restart negotiations, but not the kinds of negotiations for
the JCPOA that Obama was doing giving them boatloads of money,
hoping that, you know, we can just buy them off
because we see the results of that. That didn't do anything.
It wasn't accomplishing anything except giving them money to sponsor
(16:30):
their terrorism throughout the world. So Trump says, let's withdraw
from that and let's restart negotiations. And the negotiations are.
Here's the bottom line. You will never have a nuclear
weapon now. We can negotiate, and there will be hell
to pay if we don't reach some agreement. And if
you want nuclear power for your civilian uses, then we'll
(16:52):
figure out a way for you to do that. But
you will not have a nuclear weapon.
Speaker 6 (16:58):
Now.
Speaker 1 (16:59):
And do you think that was just some policy that
he pulled out of US hat? What do you think?
I know that we don't have insight into private conversations,
say between Donald Trump and Prince MBS Mohammed Ben Smon.
(17:19):
So let's say that you know they're they're in the uh,
they're in the palace in Riyad or Mecca or wherever
they're meeting, and they're having their private conversations. You know
they talked about this, and you know that the Saudi said,
we'll support you in those talks, and you can convey
(17:40):
to the Prime Minister of Israel that we will sit
on our hands if the time comes when he has
to do what he has to do. But Jason Crowe
wants to make this all political. Yes, we face serious
consequences if Israel attacks, but we all will face serious
(18:01):
consequences if the Iranians attack. So you know, the Mexican
standoff in the Middle East, ironically.
Speaker 7 (18:17):
One of my watching Iranian and Iran conflict just puts
in perspective how serious things can get and how juvenile
and trivial the Democrat Party is. This no King's Day
that they're going to do this weekend. What a bunch
of little babies.
Speaker 1 (18:37):
Total babies. All right, we're gonna talk about that today too.
We get lots squeeze in today.
Speaker 6 (18:41):
Back to Jason crow Let's be clear that a conflict
between Israel and Iran could rapidly spin out of control, and.
Speaker 1 (18:49):
Yes it could, and does it make any difference who
starts it? Yes, it does because if the Iranians started,
that necessarily draws us in in order to defend Israel
and our interest in the Middle East, and whether you'd
(19:10):
like it or not, we have interest.
Speaker 3 (19:11):
All over the world.
Speaker 1 (19:14):
And while we don't need to run off and start
World War three with every little thing that happens somewhere,
we have an obligation. For example, do you just think
about the shipping lanes. If the Houthis were allowed, being
sponsored by the Iranians to continue to block the shipping lanes,
that has an economic effect on our economy, on our businesses,
(19:36):
on you and I as consumers. And part of our
job is to keep those shipping lanes open in order
to keep America's economy strong. However, if the Israelis start
and their object is not to start World War three,
(19:57):
Israel has no interest in that. Israel is doing a
defensive maneuver. They're trying to stop the wildcats, the nut jobs,
from spreading a conflagration.
Speaker 4 (20:14):
All through the world.
Speaker 1 (20:17):
And there is no doubt in my mind that both
the Uranian people and the Saudis and the Kwadis and
the Emirates and everybody else are quietly praying for their success.
So Jason Crow is being a typical, typical dumbass Democrat
(20:38):
politician that wants to try to play it both ways.
Because what he's really saying without saying it, is that
if Israel does something that's going to create World War three.
Speaker 6 (20:49):
Create an enormous crisis in the Middle East, and actually
jeopardize the lives of tens of thousands of Americans, both
military and civilian, that live it and work in that area.
And this is a consequence of a complete lack of
a policy by this administration.
Speaker 1 (21:04):
No, any anything is because of the Iranians that you
know this this kind of goes back to the stuff
in Los Angeles. So the riots are because ICE is
enforcing the law. I mean that, that's how their mentality is.
(21:25):
So the problem is Israel, not the fact that there's
a country just not far to their east that wants
to completely annihilate them, to destroy them, to literally turn
the entire country into glass. And so they ISRAELI say, yeah, no,
you know what, We're not gonna allow that to happen. Now,
(21:48):
this is why a Democrat governor like Gavin Newsom does
the same tactic in California that Jason Crow does in
the Middle East. Oh, let's blame the people who are
trying to enforce stability and trying to assure peace. You know,
(22:09):
in this case Ice or maybe it's the US Marines,
or it's just law enforcement. Whereas a Gavin Newsom says, oh, look,
the riots, We're not going to do anything about those,
and then when the federal government says, wait a minute,
you're attacking federal property, so we're going to move in,
and oh, by the way, there's lawlessness. So I'm going
to take my steps as president and invoke Title ten
(22:31):
and bring the National Guard in, which is another topic
we'll get to today about a stupid judge out in
San Francisco. They do what they blame the ones who
are trying to bring stability and bring order to our society. Crow,
Jason Crow, and Gavin Newsom are using the exact same playbook.
Speaker 6 (22:53):
This administration rolled back the JCPA, the deal that actually
had us doing inspections the internet.
Speaker 1 (23:00):
You know what, that's a bald faced lie. I don't.
I'll pull the article up in a minute. The Wall
Street Journal wrote last night after this broke about how
the IAEA, the the group was supposed to be doing
the inspections. There's a group of mountains called the Nanance
(23:21):
Nintans Natanz Mountains, and this is one of their super
secret places. Where they were trying to do inspections. The
Iranians would not let them in to do the inspections.
In fact, last night as this was occurring, or I
should say yesterday afternoon before this occurred, everybody involved in
(23:44):
the JCPOA had ripped up the agreements and said we're done.
We're done because the Iranians are progressing putting together nuclear weapons.
They will not allow any inspections. We know where some
of this is going on, and they are destroying perimeters
so that we can't get into do inspections. They are
(24:05):
blocking us from inspecting. And Jason Crowe goes a National telway,
he goes on MSNBC, so thirty people heard it. But
Jason Crow goes out there and tries to claim that, oh,
it's Trump's fault because the one thing that was allowing inspections, it.
Speaker 6 (24:21):
Was not allowing us back the JCPA, the deal that
actually had us doing inspections, had international inspectors going in
and checking that prevented iran from having a nuclear program.
Speaker 1 (24:34):
They that prevented them having a nuclear pro How can
you possibly go on television and say this was preventing
the Iranians from having a nuclear program when even the
inspectors say, they got a program. It's over there and
there's tans mountains and we can't see it. They won't
let us inspect it. He just bald faced lies to
(24:55):
the public. Typical democrat to stereotypical democrat.
Speaker 6 (25:00):
Wipe that deal off the board. They have pursued what
they said as a maximum pressure policy, which has completely failed,
and here we are now on the brink of a
conflict in chaos. That is because this administration, Donald Trump
walked back from the deal that would have prevented us
from being in this place and now here we.
Speaker 5 (25:20):
Are, and is now trying to establish one of his own,
which experts say has shades of that initial JCPOA.
Speaker 1 (25:28):
Oh, I'm going know what his response to that was.
I don't have that in the clip, but she's right.
Trump was trying to re establish some sort of inspection
regime so that we could find out exactly what they
were doing and you know, make sure that they were
not indeed developing nicular weapons, but we all know that
they were. It's the worst kept secret in the history.
Speaker 5 (25:50):
Of the world.
Speaker 1 (25:53):
And Jason Crowe just goes out and just bald face
lies about it. It is absolutely mind boggling to me
net and Yahu last night, just to give you a slightly.
Speaker 4 (26:03):
Different perspective, he chose to carry out this attack.
Speaker 8 (26:06):
Now, I want everyone to listen to what the Israeli
Prime Minister has to say tonight.
Speaker 9 (26:12):
Moments ago, Israel launched Operation Rising Lion, i targeted military
operation to roll back the Uranian threat to Israel's very survival.
This operation will continue for as many days as it
takes to remove this threat. For decades, the tyrants of
Tehran have brazenly openly called for Israel's destruction. They've backed
(26:36):
up their genocidal rhetoric with a program to develop nuclear weapons.
In recent years, Iran has produced enough highly enriched uranium
for nine atom bombs.
Speaker 1 (26:49):
Nine atom bombs. Now, let's just imagine for a moment
that not Mexico because that's too close to us. Just
make it s what equal to what's going on in
the Middle East. So let's say Costa Rica or Peru,
just far enough away, because the distance between Tehran and
(27:10):
Tel Aviv is probably I don't know, I'm guessing maybe
maybe twenty five hundred three thousand miles, so somewhere south
of US two thousand and three thousand miles in Lima, Peru,
or in San Juan, Costa Rica, or wherever it might be.
We know that they are developing nuclear weapons in an
(27:31):
attempt to destroy ten major cities in the United States
of America, to bring US or to launch electromagnetic pulse
bombs and destroy the entire economy. But Democrats just say, well,
you know what, let's let's let's send them some money.
Let's see if we can't just buy them off with
some money, and let's let's put together an inspection regime.
(27:53):
But let's never really do any inspections. And then if
we find out that they are on the press and
they now have the capacity to create nine nuclear weapons,
nine atom bombs to put on top of nine major
US cities, but Jason Crow and the Democrats still just
(28:13):
stand around and talk about, oh, well, well, we can't
do anything because that might lead to World War three.
We just need to sit back. I mean, I honestly
believe they would. I honestly believe that they are that
stupid that they would just sit back and say, oh, no,
we can't do it because it might lead to war.
I don't want war, nobody wants war. But nor do
(28:36):
I want to, nor do I want this country destroyed,
and nor do I want Israel destroyed.
Speaker 9 (28:43):
Nine In recent months, Iran has taken steps that it
has never taken before, steps to weaponize this enriched uranium.
If not stopped, Iran could produce a nuclear weapon in
a very short time. It could be a year, it
could be within a few months, less than a year.
This is a clear and present danger to Israel's very survival.
Speaker 1 (29:09):
And it was, and it is. And so they reached
the point of no return and said we're gonna stop it.
We're just going to stop it. And that's what happened.
And the Jason Crows of the world. You know, I
should quit lumping all Democrats together because John Fetterman, you know,
(29:32):
the guy that has problem mental problems and has a
stroke damaged brain, is the one guy among all the
Democrats actually making sense.
Speaker 4 (29:45):
Hey, Mike, you know who else wants to make it
entirely political. Hakeem Jeffries. They asked him for a comment
on the the war that's starting in the Middle East,
and his opening comment is, well, Donald Trump hasn't lowered
price as he promised, and Donald Trump hasn't ended the
war in Ukraine in one day and he hasn't ended
(30:07):
the war in the Middle East. Is this guy evil
or stupid? I think both.
Speaker 1 (30:13):
Yes, the answer is yes. Yes. So I'm not a
big fan of John Bolton, never really have been. John
Bolton is a He's a warmonger. He'd prefer to go
to war than do anything else. But on CNN this morning,
(30:34):
he said something that I think you need to hear
because despite my personal dislike of the man, I'm always
willing to admit that when somebody says something that I
think is correct, then they ought to get credit for it.
And in terms of this pre empty strike by the Israelis,
(30:57):
which is something that we would do, any nation that
cares about itself would do the same thing. I just
think it's hard for Americans to comprehend the idea that
there is somebody out there. I mean, as much as
the Chinese Communist Party wants to dominate the world, they
(31:19):
don't want to turn the United States into glass because
they still need us, so they just want to dominate us. Well,
that's not what the Uranians wants to do to Israel.
They want to kill all the Jews. And I just
think it's hard for Americans to comprehend. Bolton today pointed
(31:43):
out what I think is master of the obvious notations.
But nonetheless he makes an excellent point.
Speaker 10 (31:53):
Something else, Tim Kaine said. Senator Senator Tim Kaine said,
Ambassador that it wanted to ask you, He said, why
torch the places before it's allowed to allowed to succeed.
His point is that he said he was shocked and
disappointed that Israel launched this attack just three days before
the diplomatic efforts of the nuclear talks between US, the
US and Iran were set to take place again this weekend.
(32:17):
Before this, in our last conversation, I recall you saying
you thought these talk, these nuclear talks were going nowhere.
What do you think now are you? Are you disappointed?
I know that you are applauding this, but are you
disappointed in the timing, given that talks are going to
happen this weekend?
Speaker 8 (32:36):
There was never a chance.
Speaker 1 (32:40):
Remembering context, John Bolton despises Donald Trump. He despises him,
which gives a little more credence to his comments.
Speaker 8 (32:51):
Let me say that again, never a chance that Iran
was going to agree to any kind of deal that
we would find acceptable. And anybody who thinks otherwise just
doesn't understand Iran. Look, we've negotiated with Iran for over
twenty years now, and when serious negotiations started in two
thousand and three, two thousand and four by the Europeans, Britain, France,
(33:12):
and Germany, it was an absolute precondition by the Europeans
that they would support a civil nuclear program for Iran,
but no uranium in Richmond. No uranium in Richmond. And
they stuck with that, and the Obama administration stuck with
that up until his second term when they caved in
(33:33):
an allowed uranium in Richmond. That was the fatal flaw
of the twenty fifteen deal. And anybody who thinks that
deal made America or Israel or the Gulf Arabs safer
fundamentally doesn't understand the direction of the Iranian regime. So
it wasn't that we didn't give diplomacy as a chance.
Diplomacy had no chance given Iran's objective.
Speaker 10 (33:56):
Even saying that, do you think these talks are are
dead at this point?
Speaker 8 (34:03):
Look, these talks are a waste of oxygen, and.
Speaker 1 (34:07):
I think they're dead too. I understand the Uranian representatives
have already announced they're calling them off so but who cares.
But this point remains valid. Once Obama capitulated and let
it let them start enriching uranium, then that was opening
