Speaker 1 (00:00):
Out of a belly full of book. I know you don't

(00:01):
like hearing that.

Speaker 2 (00:02):
I know you try to do everything in the world
to stop that.

Speaker 1 (00:04):
But you're not going to stop that. It's going to happen.

Speaker 3 (00:06):
And where do people like that go to share the
big line?

Speaker 4 (00:10):
Mega media?

Speaker 5 (00:11):
I wish in my soul, I wish that any of
these people had a conscience.

Speaker 6 (00:16):
Ask yourself, what is my task and what is my purpose?

Speaker 2 (00:20):
If that answer is to save.

Speaker 7 (00:22):
My country, this country will be saved.

Speaker 2 (00:27):
War Room.

Speaker 8 (00:27):
Here's your host, Stephen k.

Speaker 9 (00:29):
Ban Evening Saturday, twenty one June. You're of a lord,
twenty twenty five. Just that the President is at I
guess Morristown just getting ready to leave, like back to
Andrews Air Force Base. He's then gonna take Marine one,
go to the White House and the public. We have

(00:51):
the footage. Let's go ahead and watch is it b roll?
We have anybody there? Let's go and watch b roll?

Speaker 2 (00:59):
True? There we have right there. Let's go ahead and
cut it in there we go.

Speaker 9 (01:03):
I want to think by the way we're putting this together,
as you can imagine a on the first day of summer,
we have a couple three of our starters on the
production side that are off with families. So we're putting
this together right there, President leaving coming back, he's in
the air right now. There we go, right there, President

(01:24):
United States. I'm gonna get to there's some unconfirmed media
reports are there up on Israeli media right now, but
there's really media saying they're unconfirmed. We're gonna get to
in a second. There's President Trump heading up the steps

(01:44):
of Air Force one short trip to Bedminster, returned back.
There's a little like a no salute, no wave at
the top. Okay, welcome here. We're gonna get some of
our folks in here. Matt Boyle is going to try
to drop by from bright bart Jack Bisoba's going to

(02:07):
join us.

Speaker 2 (02:08):
If we can tear himself away.

Speaker 9 (02:10):
There is uh, there's unconfirmed reports up on Israeli media
right now that there may be some activity by either
the IDF or the Israeli Air Force.

Speaker 2 (02:23):
Uh either.

Speaker 9 (02:25):
There's actually a couple of things up on Twitter have
not been confirmed, but Israeli TV is picking them up
saying these are unverified about potential activity kinetic activity at
four Door by the Israelis, not by the Americans. It's
like maybe Israeli Air Force or commandos. We'll find out
on the outer security door, and we're going to We're

(02:48):
going to get to that as we possibly get to it.
Here's the reset from this morning. President Trump has given
you know, two weeks extension to the.

Speaker 2 (03:01):
To the Ayatola and the Iranian regime.

Speaker 9 (03:06):
It's very difficult to kind of find anybody to negotiate
with a very slow and getting back. We understand Steve
Wikoff has been very frustrated and actually trying to get
somebody to sit down. A lot of you know, a
lot of rumors about Turkey, other people trying to get
involved and trying to make something happen here. Of course,
one of the one of the officials from although not
on the official negotiating team, was in Geneva with the Europeans.

(03:29):
And right now President Trump is saying, hey, you got
two weeks, but we've got to see some progress. There's
also reports that the Persians have come back or the
ratings have come back and said, look, there's got to
be a ceasefire.

Speaker 2 (03:44):
We can't do this while we're getting pounded.

Speaker 9 (03:48):
We're getting pounded clearly by someone has air supremacy or
air superiority, and and folks are saying, hey, if you
can get them to a ceasefire, maybe we can get
some people in negotiating table. President Trump is saying, look,
it looks like they're winning. I'm not so sure they're
going to give you a ceasefire. And so there we

(04:08):
have a President Trump's heading back. He's supposed to arrive
here momentarily. We started here at five. President Trump is
supposed to be back. I think at five point forty.
We have David Zeer at the White House. We are
also real America's voice is in the pool for the
arriving of Marine one, and so we're gonna get David
zero up as soon as we can get him up.

(04:29):
Also trying to get Eric Prince to join us, maybe
even General Mike Flynn. I'm both producing at the same
time that we are that we are putting this together.
We said earlier, and this came from the classic movie
Bridge Too Far if you remember, if you haven't seen

(04:50):
Bridge Too Far, it's about an attempt in September of
nineteen forty four to try to x but I and
bring the war to it.

Speaker 2 (05:01):
Remember, we had had D Day.

Speaker 9 (05:03):
On sixth June, and then afterwards after the Great Invasion
of Normandy and we got a toe hold there.

Speaker 2 (05:11):
We clearly had.

Speaker 9 (05:11):
Air superiority already over France and over Nazi Germany. We
had a very difficult time breaking out of the Hedgerows.
Paton then was brought back. He had been cashiered for
a while. He was brought back. Let us out of
the kind of the Hedgerow situation. We'd gotten bogged down
in the British Army had gotten bogged down to our north.

Speaker 2 (05:32):
In what happened.

Speaker 9 (05:32):
I think we took Paris in August and mid August,
but it was slow going. People were thinking, how do
we actually use maneuver warfare, how do we actually get
smart and do this, and came up with a plan
to have a massive I think thirty five thousand a
drop of airborne because Airborne had done a pretty good

(05:53):
job at Normandy behind the line. So they came up
with the idea of doing the eighty second, one hundred
and first. You know, the revered the second President Trump
was just down there last week. The hundred first Airborne
also a Polish brigade. I think it was a Polish
brigade of paratroopers, and I think it was the British
eighth Paratroop Unit.

Speaker 2 (06:12):
It was famous.

Speaker 9 (06:13):
It was their their paratroop division. So to use all
the parachute assets we had and really do a series
of taking these I think five or six bridges across
these different uh these different rivers in the low countries
and really get right up to get right up against
the Germans quickly. There was a controversy about how quickly
it was going to go. And when they they had

(06:36):
these series of meetings and the intelligence people came. The
intelligence people came and said, hey, we think there's a problem.
The panzers might have been pulled backs that the Germans
were retreating. They're gonna be right in the line of
some of these some of these bridges, and we need
to do more intelligence.

Speaker 2 (06:52):
We to delay this.

Speaker 9 (06:53):
And there's a famous scene where the where the British
general says the party is on. That was a phrase
that was used in World War Two. I think was
also in one of the movies in Normandy by Cornelish Ryan,
the writer of the Longest Day and also the writer
of A Bridge Too Far. And that's what we were
saying this morning. There's something clearly happening right now. President

(07:18):
Trump has already said, or I shouldn't say he said
he has. It has been reported, and Mark Capudo this
morning reiterated that that the presidents looked at a range
of alternatives and that if he feels because he's already said,
under no circumstances are they going to have a nuclear
weapon or the ability to make a nuclear weapon, and

(07:39):
in that he was trying to to do it via negotiations,
but he said, hey, if I have to go connectic,
I'll go connect. They've looked at a range of alternatives,
and President Trump, at least has been reported, has signed
off in a plan if he's prepared, if he's if
if that's the way we have to go, there's no
way to do negotiating it.

Speaker 2 (08:02):
In that.

Speaker 9 (08:05):
In that plan, you have to have assets, and they
look like they've pre positioned B two's, they prepositioned some
of the tankers that everywhere from from Guam to other
areas around the around the Middle East, that certain assets
aren't in place. If President Trump was going to was
actually going to was actually going to here, they're changing

(08:27):
my clock eves and as who speak that if you're
going to go and have a go kinetic, that you
have those assets, You have those assets set up right away.
Those assets, it looks like many of the assets you
would need have been pre positioned, so President Trump would
just have to issue in order the strike plan would
be promulgated. There is reporting on Twitter early looked like

(08:49):
it was pretty well verified that no strike plan has
been issued by the Pentagon, So it looks like on
the American side, it's prepositioning of assets the best as
we can tell. Like I said, there is reporting on
Israeli TV, and they're the first to say this is
totally unverified, but they're hearing, and I'm hearing from from

(09:11):
other folks right now. There actually may be the party
is on, and it may be the idea of and
the Israeli Air Force.

Speaker 2 (09:18):
We've been a huge advocate of this.

Speaker 9 (09:19):
In fact, I said today I've got a tweet up
I should say that Getter that I've posted on Getter
and I ended the show this morning.

Speaker 2 (09:27):
The party is on? But who's going to be the host?

Speaker 9 (09:30):
And we've been a big advocate that the Israelis ought
to be a host, and we're a big advocate that
the Israelis they should go for it, whether they do
it through commando raids, whether they do it through a
series of pealing bombs, are to peal lair by layer. Understand,
they do not have the throw weight of the weapons
systems we have in this regard. They also don't have

(09:51):
the stealth capabilities totally that we have.

Speaker 2 (09:54):
I would be much more dangerous.

Speaker 9 (09:56):
But this is their mission, and I think, I don't know,
we may be gaining some kinetic activity that I think
would be a good sign. It would show that they're
very serious in getting this done and at least going
to take a stab at a President Trump was pretty
I don't say adamant, but he was on the tarmac yesterday.

Speaker 2 (10:13):
President Trump addressed this.

Speaker 9 (10:14):
President Trump addressed both the situations of a ceasefire, and
he said, Hey, the Israelis look like they're winning right now.
The Iranians are not. I don't know how we're going
to get to a ceasefire if someone's winning. And like
I said, the back channels have been the Iranians are
not prepared to sit down, even if you can find
the people to sit down with, right not prepared to
sit down until there's some sort of ceasefire. Also, President

(10:38):
Trump reiterated, he says, hey, look, I'm not so sure
the Israelis actually have the military capacity the military capacity
to do this, and so that's where we stand. Although
I think there are many, many, many wheels in motion.
When I say that, I think there's negotiations and contacts
all over the region. I think the Arab nations are
very involved in this. Turkey's very involved in this. I

(10:58):
wouldn't be surprised Usha Houn involved. They are in trying
to get people to the table and maybe get people
to say, hey, stand down here and let's see if
we can't get a real negotiation.

Speaker 2 (11:07):
President Trump is very.

Speaker 9 (11:09):
Adamant on the diplomatic side, and he's saying he's not
going to get tapped along. Again, he's not there and
he's really not there to do a verification a verification program.
He wants something that totally deconstructs their capability of making
a bomb or if they have a bomb or close
to a bomb, takes all the parts. So that's very

(11:30):
different than some of the some of the deals you
heard in the future. We are going to take as
we'd go through these next couple of hours, we are
going to take our traditional commercial breaks.

Speaker 2 (11:40):
Now.

Speaker 9 (11:41):
If things happen, if President Trump's arrive and all that
will float the brakes or we'll just avoid him, as
real America's voice always does. Like I said, President Trump
is on his way back to the White House. There's
some controversy about how was this previously scheduled or was
it not? Or and definitely the National Security Council briefing.

(12:02):
It looks like that'll be his top people, be the
Secretary of State Mark or Rubio, Secretary of State Pete Hexath,
Director of the CIA John Ratcliffe, others. There's some controversy
but who actually gets in the room and who doesn't
get in the room? They were it's quite interesting actually
put on the public schedule, is going to be in
the Oval Office, so at least the way it was published,
it's not going to be done. And what's called the

(12:23):
Kennedy Room in the National Security Area, which is really
on the first floor of the White House. So they've
been pretty public about stating they're going to have this
briefing and actually where it's going to be. One of
the controversies is who's in the room. The whole controversy
over the last couple of days is Tulsea Gabbert is
the President getting alternatives. The big controversy about the CIA's intelligence.

(12:47):
We found out this morning from Marcapudo that eighty percent
of it dovetails with the Massads intelligence and have been
the big controversy.

Speaker 2 (12:55):
Is the President getting a broad.

Speaker 9 (12:56):
Range of access to intelligence or is it all coming
through essentially eighty percent through one source. Both the Masad
and the CIA seemed to be in agreement. Okay, we're
going to take a short commercial break here. We want
to thank every real America's voice, Robin Parker, Sig, the
entire team windew in Denver, everybody have pulled this together.
As you can imagine, most people had weekend plans, but

(13:19):
it looks like something if not underway, right, maybe people
rethought this.

Speaker 2 (13:26):
There's something definitely happening in that regards.

Speaker 9 (13:28):
I mean that the wheels are turning with various alternatives.
I don't think that either Israel or the United States
is just going to sit there and have these attacks
and not really go after a four down, right, So
I think we'll see some activity, like I said, unverified,
but it is on Israeli media that the Israelis have

(13:49):
looked like they've made some I think there's a couple
of security doors in foroder or there maybe some aspect
of either air and or commando.

Speaker 2 (13:57):
Like I said, totally unverified.

Speaker 9 (13:58):
We're going to try to get more we've got, hopefully,
I think we've got General Flint, maybe Eric Prince, maybe
Jack Psobic maybe. I don't think we'll go for three there.
So we'll have some really good talent here. Plus the
great Matt Boyle will be with us also, he's out
and about in DC. He will actually be in the
war room. Short commercial break, by the way, maybe it's

(14:19):

Speaker 9 (14:30):
The Ultimate Guide which is the Ultimate Guide and is
the ultimate free guide to investing in precious metals in
gold in the age of Trump. Check it out today, Mare,
here's your host, Stephen K.

Speaker 10 (14:45):
Bah.

Speaker 9 (14:48):
Let's go to our own David Zeer at the White House. David,
what are you hearing there? We are waiting the President
the land and Andrews and then take marine one.

Speaker 2 (14:57):
What do you got for us?

Speaker 11 (15:00):
Yeah, waiting for the President's arrival. Here He'll go into
the Oval Office for a closed national security meeting. We've
got a large group of protests gathered across the street
from the White House here with Iranian flags. It looks
like so a lot going on, and we're trying to
follow reports on, you know, further strikes by Israel on

(15:20):
nuclear facilities inside Iran. A lot going on overnight, taking
out ballistic missile launchers, more UAVs, they attack the port
of bandar Abbas. A lot of activity going on. And yesterday,
you know, I Ran dropped a missile into Israel that
wounded forty five people here. But there doesn't seem to

(15:42):
be any give with Iran. They're saying they're going full on.
Israel saying they're going full on. So there's no break
in the action here, and it continues.

Speaker 9 (15:54):
The New York Post reported today, David, what we're gonna
do is finish with David Lane, get back in the
position for the rival of the president. Great shot right there, though,
in our traditional on Pebble Beach. Real quickly, The New
York Posts reported, BB said, hey, they report we're not
going to wait forever for the Americans to make their
mind up, thank god, right, and we're going to go
and we can do this ourselves, any sense of that,

(16:16):
David Zeer.

Speaker 11 (16:20):
They are saying that, and Danny Dannon said they're going
to do whatever it takes to continue. The Ambassador to
the UN for Israel also here. But Russia chimed in
and said that they would not support taking out the
supreme leader of Iran, especially if the US is involved.
They would be consequences for that. And you know, a

(16:42):
lot of action going on here, and I just wanted
to talk about regime change for one second. You know,
I don't see a lot of revolutionaries in the street.
I see a lot of pro government people, even though
they shut down the internet over there. So IRGC is
entrenched in their oil business and everything over there. So
I don't think Iran is going to back down. And
are they just doing it to fight it out to

(17:03):
draw this thing out. They just entertained Europe yesterday to
draw this thing out with no intention to back and down.
And now the hoothy rebels are threatening our commercial chipping
and our US warships again, you know, through Iran. So
I want to I want to try to ask Trump
about that if I get to in a few minutes.

Speaker 9 (17:26):
Uh, You're gonna be in the pools, So you get
to toss a question. We'll see if you're as good Zira.
This is your this is your challenge to see if
you're good as our own. Brian Glenn right, Brian always
gets gets a question in there. So make sure, man,
make sure you ask the president about this. I know
people in this town. I know this, people in this town.

(17:48):
David are right now working through the consequences if the
Israelis either won't do it or can't do it. And
it looks like there may be some potential activity potentially
if the Americans have to get involved in a combat,
sits as a combatant more so than we are now.

Speaker 2 (18:03):
The blowback into the region.

Speaker 9 (18:04):
You know, we've got fifty thousand I think troops and
sailors in the general area. That does not include what
we have in the carrier of battlegroups. I know people
are quite concerned about the Iranian potential to hit that
because I think Iran has surprised people with their ballistic
missile capability piercing the Iron Dome, and David sling, sir.

Speaker 11 (18:29):
Yeah, well, about a thousand ballistic missiles have been launched already.
Israel Is claiming to have taken out over half of
their ballistic missile launchers. But the worry is will it
spill over to the Gulf States and will they attack
US bases and US interests over there, and can they
successfully hit them. I don't know if they want to
go that route, but I guess then you know we're

(18:51):
in it for sure. And we added our fifth destroyer.
I know you were saying you served on a destroyer.
Our five destroyers now helping Israel defend against missile attacks
in the Mediterranean right now.

Speaker 9 (19:05):
Yeah, you have five or six deshorts in the Arley
Burke A class also in the Eastern med they're providing
you know, anti air assets and missiles and radar, fire
control radar. That doesn't evenclude I think it's now with
the limits of arriving three battle groups in the North
Arabian Sea, in the Red Seas, and then we have

(19:26):
bets that are heading to Guam, we have them heading
to Diegar Garcia. We have them on the other side. Folks,
you know we got plenty of it's plenty of assets.
I think you're gonna have plenty of ability to make
a strike here, not even including the israelis so and
I think that gives President Trump a bigger range of options.
But I know people are very concerned about about the blowback,

(19:48):
and I think people are working through those scenarios. David,
you've got to bounce. I want to make sure you
and our cameraman get back into position so that you're
fully you can ask your question right as you become.

Speaker 2 (19:59):
The new Glenn. We had to put it.

Speaker 9 (20:06):
If we have to put anybody, if we had to
put anybody as a replacements, a backup, we want David
z here there asking the questions. So once you in Austin,
get positioned and uh and we'll pick you up as
soon as you're ready.

Speaker 2 (20:18):
This is where you've taken them from.

Speaker 12 (20:20):
So yeah, the the assets are provided for us, by
the way, in the White House for the White House
coverage and other coverage just been extraordinary.

Speaker 9 (20:31):
Want to thank everybody. You hear right there from just
our mic. Those are the protesters that are right out
off of Pennsylvania Avenue, right there in Lafayette Square where
the statue of General Jackson is uh In protesters and
they're and they're quite vocal today. They're protesting. I think there,
I don't think these are protesters about the war per se.

Speaker 2 (20:53):
I think there are obviously some aspects of gossip.

Speaker 9 (20:55):
What you're seeing the Red Green merger and uh, you
know it's interesting we're here doing special on a Saturday afternoon.
Want to thank everybody's pitching in to make this happen
with the skeleton crew and just you know, remember we're
supposed to be spending time two weeks ago it was
in Los Angeles focused on the mass deportations. I still

(21:16):
argue that as important as is and higher priority is
to stop the nuclear program at whatever stage it is
for the Iranians. For us, you know, if you've got
a rank order strategic concerns, the vital net and vital
national security interests of this country lies with us making

(21:37):
sure that the ten May and ten to twelve million
illegal alien invaders that came here on Biden's the illegitimate regime,
Biden's watch.

Speaker 2 (21:45):
Have to be deported. That is the big fight is
the fight in the courts.

Speaker 9 (21:48):
It's a challenge to President Trump as commander in chief,
his powers as commander in chief to essentially repel the invasion.
This is a central front of what we call the
Third World War. You already have a drama kinetic part
of that going on the Eurasian land mass everywhere from
Kursk and Ukraine all the way through this arc of
instability that in the Middle East and particularly in Gaza,

(22:12):
going all the way down now to Iran, to Persia,
all the way to the North Arabian Sea. The Persian
golf people should not be lost in the fact that
folks are really very concerned about the Estraits or Hermus
in case anything happened now, the Iranians would be blocking
the easiest way they can transport their oil to the
Chinese Companies's Party, which remember is about twenty two percent

(22:34):
of the total energy of the CCP. The KGB slash
Russia and the CCP are allies of this regime. Particularly
the CCP has done a long term output deal. They've
actually done it as has been reported. It wasn't It's
not done in petro dollars, is not done in US dollars.
This is where the Chinese Commanist Party in Iran, both

(22:57):
as two prominent bricks nations have set up to try
to to try to break the US dollar. And we
know from the New York Times reporting the finance Minister
of of UH and associate with the.

Speaker 2 (23:11):
Bank of China.

Speaker 9 (23:13):
UH said the other day they're coming to They're coming
to Rio, and they're coming with an alternative because they think,
quote unquote, the world is too the world is too
unstable depending upon just the American dollars a prime reserve currency.
They want to give an alternative. When we talk about
the bricks nations, you should think broadly of the global.

Speaker 2 (23:33):
South, kind of the anti UH you know.

Speaker 9 (23:36):
Judeo Christian West, or advanced industrial economies, and you can
throw in UH. You can throw in a couple of
other nations in there too. And although we have some
strong allies in the bricks nations, like India. You just
saw what happened in the India Pakistan standoff in Kashmir.
That's another hot zone right there. And of course I

(23:56):
think India has one hundred nuclear weapons. Pakistan, which has
never been that stable, and Isi, their intelligence service is
replete with radical jihadis. I think they have one hundred
and eighty one nuclear weapons. Fact, people say all the
time between North Korea and Pakistan. Their shock that Iran

(24:17):
doesn't already have a couple of three hot ones right now,
given their relationship with those guys, and given how advanced
in nuclear technology those countries are. As a reset, we're
getting David Zer and a cameraman who's part of the
pool back over to cover the President arriving. He's going
to be at Andrews I think in a moment, and
then he's going to be taking a marine one the

(24:39):
helicopter coming to the White House supposed to land I
believe at roughly five point forty.

Speaker 2 (24:46):
He's immediately going to.

Speaker 9 (24:48):
The West wing, I think through the South entrance going
to the West Wing. It's been publicly reported now on
the schedule, he's going to have a national security briefing
by his at least some version or some version of
his National Security Council, his primary advisors in this UH
and then that's all supposedly closed to the public. We're

(25:08):
gonna stay around for as much as that as we
possibly can. Like I said, there are unverified reports, but
enough to make some of the TV stations in Israel
that there's been potentially some kinetic activity by the Israelis,
either IDF with the commandos or potentially even air assets
around the nuclear processing facility of for Door. The Israelis

(25:32):
said many times a day. Hey, we are not going
to wait forever. The President I states thinks he's got
an alternative. You know, go with God, do what you
can do. But we're not going to wait for the
two weeks. We're going to go when we want to go.
So far, to date, they haven't really checked checked in
with many people as they've gone. We're a big advocate
of the Israelis finishing what they started, so we hope

(25:54):
that it's true that they've gotten on with it. It's
gonna be a it's gonna be very difficult. We understand
that a lot of lives is going to be at risk.
This will be a very audacious and bold move. But
the id F in the Israelis have a history of
bold and audacious military activity. They also don't They don't
telegraph their punches, just like President Trump. President Trump doesn't

(26:17):
do a long wind up.

Speaker 2 (26:18):
If you saw with what Solomine.

Speaker 9 (26:20):
And so many others, even the taking down of Isis.
As I say, President Trump pitches from the stretch done
to a full wind up.

Speaker 2 (26:28):
They gets you when you're not you're not watching.

Speaker 9 (26:31):
Short commercial break, you're hearing the worm in a special
edition Real Emergen's voice the war room on a Saturday,
awaiting the Commander in Chief to return to the White.

Speaker 13 (26:39):
House takeout FOIDO, for example, Has it really damaged Iran's
nuclear program as much as it says that it wants to?

Speaker 3 (26:49):
Well?

Speaker 14 (26:49):
Is that peace demonstrates Prime Minister NETANYAHUO has been very
alarmist for a long time about the Iranian nuclear program,
and obviously, in hindsight a lot of that alarm was exaggerated.
But I think it is the case that the Iranian
nuclear program has accelerated since President Trump's disastrous decision in
twenty eighteen to exit the Iranian nuclear cord. At that point,
we know that the Uranian breakout time, the amount of

(27:12):
time they would take to have enough physio material for
a bomb, was over a year. Now I think everybody agrees,
including US intelligence, it's down to a week or two.
I think the question mark is how long would it
take them to actually weaponize that material? And that's I
think where you have a dispute between the Israelis, who
are saying they could weaponize very quickly, and the US
intelligence community, which is saying would take a longer period

(27:33):
of time. But I think you're on to a key
point here abby, which is what happens if the Israelis
do not or the US or somebody does not take
out the Fordile site. And the reality is the Iranian
nuclear program will pretty much continue despite all the damage
that the Uranians are suffering this Israeli air campaign.

Speaker 4 (27:52):
So that's why.

Speaker 14 (27:53):
But even keep in mind, even if Florido is taken out,
that doesn't mean that Iran will never be able to
get a nuclear weapon, because then, know how, he probably
a lot of the enriched uranium, all that stuff will
remain still in Iranian hands. But clearly Fordah is a
very big deal.

Speaker 11 (28:07):
And I think.

Speaker 14 (28:09):
What President Trump has to calculate is is it worth
going after Fordah given the risk that the Iranians, who
have so far been refraining from attacking US bases or
shipping in the region, given the risk that they will escalate.
And so you know, you see all these US bases
which are very close to Iran, and in fact much
closer than Israel. And so you know, Israel is about

(28:32):
one thousand miles from Iran. These spaces are much closer.
So Iran has a lot more missiles that they can
shoot at them. They have drones. They also have the
capability to sew mines in the Persian Gulf, in the
Red Sea, so there's a lot more damage they can
probably do even in their weekend state. And so that's
what I think President Trump has the balance here. Is
it worth the risk of going after Fordah if it
means getting the US involved in the middle of these hostilities.

Speaker 9 (28:58):
There's tons of conflicting reports coming out of Israel right now.
A lot of those are being blown up as being false.
Israeli media are putting some up as unverified. There's other
people talking about a massive drone attack nite. So there's
a lot going on, as you can imagine as the Israelis.
I do think what is quite positive from the special

(29:19):
relationship with Israel and with the United States is that
clearly the message has gotten across that this is their fight,
they started it.

Speaker 2 (29:31):
We have a special relationship.

Speaker 9 (29:34):
We clearly agree that Persia should not have a nuclear weapon,
cannot have a nuclear weapon. President Trump was trying diplomacy
as he is wont to do right and make sure
it's peace to strength. You've got the strength to back
it up. I think you've seen the assets no nation
on Earth could bring the military assets that we have

(29:54):
brought to the region. Now the question gets to be
is this just empire maintenance or is this national security?
I do think there is still a big question about
the viability of the Ringia is actually delivering a nuclear
weapon on top of the United States, and you have
to rank order the threats against the United States where
that really stands. That being said, we've made a decision.

(30:16):
President Trump has basically made a decision. A ten years
ago he started saying it they can't have a nuclear weapon.
Now he was in the middle of negotiating that They
had a meeting schedule for what Sunday a week ago
last Sunday with Steve Whitkoff in muscot Oman to continue
the sixth or maybe the seventh round of negotiations, and

(30:37):
it was not going as quickly as President Trump liked.
I think he believed he might be getting tapped along
by the Altolas, particularly some of the public comments they
were making. That being said, the Israelis on their attack
Thursday night and in Friday did kill all the negotiators.

Speaker 2 (30:53):
President Trump was pretty open about it.

Speaker 9 (30:57):
On Friday when he was talking he says, Hey, we
have a meeting schedule, But I think everybody is dead.

Speaker 2 (31:02):
Now it turns out.

Speaker 9 (31:02):
A couple of those guys and that may not be,
but the Persians, being very, very very bureaucratic, right, very bureaucratic,
has been and Ayatola seems to be in hiding and
not exactly readily available because I think his probably his
belief is thought process or anybody else that was readily
available has been killed. So maybe I'll make myself not

(31:24):
so available. Be that as it may. It's been very tough.
It's been reported Wikoff really can't find anybody to negotiate with,
either they don't have a mandate, they've been killed, or
the Ayatola will not empower them. President Trump, I can
tell you he is. The two weeks is to see
if there's a diplomatic in a way to do this

(31:47):
without getting kinetic. But you know, President Trump's not a
guy's going to wait around forever. So you get back
to the kinetic part of it. President Trump has already
gone out of his way to say we're not doing
regime change he did not authorize when the Israelis did
come to him, and I say it's an upsell from
the very beginning to let's go to regime change that
he didn't want. He wouldn't sign off on the Aye

(32:07):
Toota being killed. Although the Iyahtola is one of those
guys that, as he said, an outlaw Josie Wales deserves killing, right,
he said he wouldn't do it. I think because of
the chaos that that might entail. Remember, the United States
did not execute hero Hito, the Emperor Japan. We did
not bomb the Imperial Palace. We went out of our

(32:29):
way to make sure that there was no damage bomb
damage there for a host of cultural, societal, and religious reasons.
I think here, although the mulas have been insane, I
think President Trump is taking a prudent thing to saying, hey, look,
we don't want to break this.

Speaker 2 (32:43):
Thing and that end up owning it.

Speaker 9 (32:45):
Our mission is to, if we so choose, is to
make sure that we can finish with the Israelis I'll
maybe not be able to, and that is to take
down all of their one percent capacity to actually make
a nuclear weapon. Now the Israelis, I think bb Netna,
who came out today in the New York.

Speaker 2 (33:03):
Post and said they can actually finish it.

Speaker 9 (33:06):
There's a report in Agency France Press AFP one of
the it's like the Reuters of of of Europe that said,
there's IDF individuals that are at a high level that
are saying they've already they've already crushed the UH and
hit the Uranian, the Iranian bomb making capability, weaponization capability,

(33:30):
and Richmond capability that they said, push it back two
or three years already. So then that calls for hey,
what does four door actually bring you?

Speaker 2 (33:39):
Now?

Speaker 9 (33:39):
Obviously this facility is so complex, it is the heart
of their operation. And I believe I think you've seen
a sea change right The way I see it and
seeing people interacting is that the Israelis instead of kind
of very much from the beginning, Oh, the Americans are
going to give the coup dei grad. The Americans is
going to be here because of I think President Trump's

(34:02):
prudent nature when it comes to military engagement. Remember the
Solomon and other things are thought through for a long
period of time and then kind of come out of
nowhere to hit the target. That's why I say he
does not telegraph traditionally does not telegraph or does not
do a long wind up before he delivers the pitch.
He kind of pitches from the stretch, and you really

(34:24):
don't see it right until it's actually the cruise missile
or whatever the kinetic activity is right upon you. That's
when you become aware of it. He has a little
bit kind of walk through now. He hasn't talked the specifics.
There has been all types of plans throwing out there,
and a lot of loose talk about how easy this is,

(34:44):
how it's done.

Speaker 2 (34:45):
It's enormously complex.

Speaker 9 (34:47):
It's very dangerous obviously to the people that are going
to be on the business end of it, the receiving
end of it, but also for our pilots and anybody
else involved. These are complex military evolutions that you know,
you've you've had a chance to do rehearsals of these
and exercises, but clearly you haven't actually gone and had

(35:07):
a chance to do it near the UH, near the
location that that this will actually be pulled off.

Speaker 2 (35:12):
And this is one of the problems in UH.

Speaker 9 (35:15):
In the hostage rescue that I was involved in as
a junior naval officer, at least in the work up
and the rehearsals for it, you're off the coast. We
are we were, I think relatively close to where the
carrier battlegroups are today. We were on a place navigational
settings of called Gonzo Station and Camel Station too, where
hit two battlegroups. That was off the coast. You really

(35:37):
couldn't get inland to actually do. And now I'm sure
they had some commando helicopters and others go and do
terrain checking, as the military you know often does people
going into check, but that's different than sending a bunch
of pilots there in the middle of the night uh
into a foreign terrain thousands of miles away. And so
the workups for that which were months and months and months,

(35:58):
I think, all the way from the time first people
start arriving in late November early December all the way
until the spring of when the assault was given. But
even with all that practice and rehearsal, things went ryan.
They went right relatively quickly at really the rally point
where everybody's going to get to all the helicopters are

(36:18):
and get together, refuel and then do the final assault
launch into Tehran. Here obviously you haven't had the opportunity
to do overflights consistently. There might have been a couple
we haven't been able to do overflights over Tehran. One
thing that's quite positive here is that the Israelis have

(36:38):
I'm not so sure air supremacist superiority.

Speaker 2 (36:41):
I think they have air supremacy.

Speaker 9 (36:43):
It looks like they've been able to knock out most
of the anti aircraft around Tehran, or at least what
we're hearing and what we're seeing and reporting that's coming
back in that regard. In that regard, this would make
it at least marginally easier. Although I realized this has
stealth is an altitude, but those one of those things
you want to make sure we're taken care of. Like

(37:05):
I said, unconfirmed, unverified reporting in online and in Israeli media,
there may be actually some kinetic activity, and I think
you see the reception of this. I think the Israelraelis
are excited about this. I think they're excited about actually
taking this and getting it done themselves. You know, the

(37:25):
IDF and others have these mottos that we essentially don't
need your help, We're going to do it alone. And
that's one of the reasons they're one of the greatest
fighting forces in the world. If you think about it,
you go back to seven October and we remember seven October, folks,
those you're here. We did it live on the show
pasobic I got Pasobic on here and we actually went
live that day. The if you think about since then,

(37:49):
particularly with Hesbelah, I think Hesbela, the proxy of the
of the of the Persians proxy Hesbela, which had such
an amazing reputation quite frankly, an earned reputation because they
have been a role, you know, on a role that
in Syria with Hesbelah, really in Gaza, with the Muslim
Brotherhood in Hamas, they've delivered some death blows to UH,

(38:11):
to these organizations and either terrorist organizations or really paramilitary
groups that have been incredibly tough to defeat in the
in the future. I think that is one of the reasons,
not just simply BB's political situation with all the the
madness that entails oftentimes Israeli domestic politics. You know there
it is a that is politics the hard way. They're very,

(38:34):
very contentious all the time. That it was a time
to strike, they had an opportunity and maybe they could
box Trump in or maybe they get a commitment at.

Speaker 2 (38:44):
Trump right now.

Speaker 9 (38:45):
And I think a lot of that is coming from
the pushback of the Tucker Carlsons and the h and
the Jack Pasovics and the Charlie Kirks and the Benny
Johnson's and many War Room and many others say hey, look,
you know, even for those of us who are big
supporters of Israel, this is some Then you started it,
you got to finish this. I think that's been positive
for those in the audience.

Speaker 2 (39:05):
Mark Levin has something up on Twitter tonight.

Speaker 9 (39:09):
I think, let's just speak for some, it's so revolting
and disgusting, particularly somebody's never served as country and is
not a veteran. His use of language is so inappropriate
for someone who's too gutless to serve his nation right
to what he does in trying to smear people about
their patriotism and their love of country and their commitment

(39:30):
to this nation. Like I said, I think he, and
I think many people at Fox and then hold network
in the Murdoch should be put under investigation, as under
foreign investigations, as basically agents for a foreign government.

Speaker 2 (39:43):
I think it's quite.

Speaker 9 (39:43):
Clear that he's not pitching this in the interests of
the United States of America or American citizens in particularly
those in harms Way right, since he's never been in
harms Way, and I don't think any of his children
have been in harms way right. It's not a it's
not a very patriot. His love of country and patriotism
is just as solid as his being Maga, which you know,

(40:07):
he was one of the most vicious voices of President
Trump when we ran at sixteen and then in twenty one.
He's one of the first people to bail. With all
the people at Fox taking paychecks from Rupert Murdoch who
bailed to go to descemb and Nicky Haley and that
whole crew of neoliberal neocons.

Speaker 2 (40:25):
President Trump is quite different.

Speaker 9 (40:26):
And President Trump is returning to the White House, going
to get a briefing by his National Security Council on
the situation, and.

Speaker 2 (40:35):
We'll see how this develops tonight. Special addition to War
Room back in.

Speaker 8 (40:38):
A moment, excuse your host, Stephen k back.

Speaker 9 (40:46):
Okay, Like I said, we're trying to get people out
doing the things on Saturday, but the many are coming
back and we're going to have him up as we
plow through this. We have a footage now of the
President at Andrews Air Force Base and getting on Marine one.
Is that case? Can we go and play that right?
There playing right there, as you can tell on my glass,
and how am I glad? There's the President United States
coming down the coming down the forward hatch of of.

Speaker 2 (41:15):
Air Force one.

Speaker 9 (41:17):
There he's he's got some of his military escorts there,
gives a sharp salute to President Trump.

Speaker 2 (41:23):
I'd love the salutes he was given at the parade
that day.

Speaker 9 (41:26):
I don't want to say his salutes were the best
of all the pete hegsat that. I checked into a
couple of three of those other salutes I saw around there.

Speaker 2 (41:34):
They were not too sherby.

Speaker 9 (41:35):
President Trump was given a very sharp snapisher this President
Trump going with one of his military aids. He's going
to Marine one. It's just a I don't know, seven
or eight minutes. I think it's eight minutes, nine minutes.
I might be off of that, but I thought it
was seven or eight minutes from from Andrews to think

(41:55):
it's under ten to depending on who's flying right to
to the White House South Lawn. Our own David Zeir
is there also one of our crack cameramen. I think
we're in the pool day. We may be the pool camera.
And so there you see President Trump very graciously if
you're able to watch this home very graciously shaking the

(42:18):
hand and thanking the reception by the military commander there.
He is in marine ones and we've taken off momentarily
heading to the White House. There is scheduled in the
Oval Office and National Security briefing. There's a lot going on.
My sources in Israel are telling me they expect a

(42:38):
long and bad night. They think there's going to be
additional hits by the Iranians. A lot of these as
like I said, the Iron Dome, the Iron Dome at
David Slang, which had done so well, it is, you know,
mathematical probability in the Iranians have been hitting them with
a number of ballistic missiles and other missiles.

Speaker 2 (42:59):
One of the.

Speaker 9 (43:00):
Reasons that you know bb net now who gave in
fact the second first reason was the nuclear weapons program.
The second was that, hey, they're so much more advanced
and ballistic missiles and building at such a rate that
we're not gonna be able to withstand a constant constant onslaught.
So the ballistic missiles became a thing. And you can

(43:21):
see that that is obviously an issue because I think
a lot more of these have gotten through than people anticipated,
and it's done some real damage. Israeli civilians are, particularly
folks in Haifa and Tel Aviv, are really under assault.
If you see some of this footage, particularly some that's

(43:42):
not making it to the American media, it's very, very,
very brutal. Dave Bratt, you are have joined us. Thank
you for changing your plans around. Dave Brat, your thoughts
as President Trump, the Commander A Chief heads to the
White House International Security briefing, Sir.

Speaker 13 (44:00):
Yeah, well, the events of the last week to me,
as a former congressman and as an American citizen, are
very frustrating. We live in a representative government, representative republic
where the representatives are supposed to listen to the people.
But when the people are not informed about anything that's
going on, and when we're not given intelligence and I'm

(44:22):
going to get into that word in a minute, this
intelligence is not that intelligent.

Speaker 15 (44:27):
Right.

Speaker 13 (44:27):
So a week ago, BB Net Yahoo, I'm all pro Israel.
I want them to get rid of the evildoers in Iran.
That's all great, But then thanks pivoted to regime change.
And then bb went on the TV and said, Hey,
we're doing Israel first, America.

Speaker 15 (44:43):
You do America. First, I was like, okay, that sounds
good to me.

Speaker 13 (44:47):
But then the regime change started pivoting to the United
States of America are going to be in on regime change.
President Trump has made clear he wants a negotiating posture
of some sort, right, that's key. So where does the
president of the United States, the leader of the free world,
fit into BB's plan here? And then things get really
complicated with the bunker buster bomb, right, So then we're

(45:12):
asked for help on that or I don't know how
that took place, but then that became the issue of
the day, and of course that's to make sure the
United States gets on board with a program.

Speaker 15 (45:23):
Today. BB says, okay, we can handle that part.

Speaker 13 (45:26):
And Eric Prince was brilliant on that point, right fifteen
years ago. And I can build one of these things
in my backyard. I'm exaggerating, right, But that is not
the complicating factor that puts us in the war. Israel
can handle that for fifteen years, and they can't.

Speaker 15 (45:41):
They want us in the middle of this again.

Speaker 13 (45:44):
And then BB comes out again and says, don't worry,
We've got it. But now it's real problematic because where
they've got it and they're being bombed and they're bombing
and so there is a war going on, and where
does President Trump's an issue to fit in here for
a dialogue to bring peace and maybe, like pasoviics have

(46:04):
been saying, a grand you know, triangulation with Russia, Ukraine, Iran,
all of it bringing about peace, and boy, I want
that outcome, But it looks like BB has foreclosed that
there's no way Iran is going to agree to you know,
I don't like the word ceasefire, but some window of
opportunity where President Trump sends our representatives.

Speaker 15 (46:27):
When Israel is in the middle abominam.

Speaker 13 (46:30):
If it's one on one Israel to Iran, you know,
the Mullus are never going to save.

Speaker 15 (46:36):
Face in that case.

Speaker 10 (46:37):
Right.

Speaker 13 (46:37):
So the key to piece is President Trump does have
to be in the middle of this. He's got to
broken the deal there. That's our only prayer for peace.
And the CIA guys and the Congress guys, I would
like them to go over to Ala Sad, the airbase
right across the water where the biggest troops, American troops
are and beforeward deployed. Right when you're making your decisions

(47:00):
on this intelligence and you say Hey, this is just
a little strike. This's just a little targeted, myopic thing.
It's not an old war. Good, well, put your money
where your mouth is and go make that decision on
the base with the young boys and girls who are
going to die. If we get this thing wrong, then
we'll know. Right if you go over there and make
your forward deployed decisions, then I'll know. Okay, you've got

(47:22):
the situation in hand. Without that, I don't buy it.
This idea of intelligence, right, that word needs to be
carefully monitor I'm not getting any intelligence about what's the
polling and the intelligence If we lose two hundred young
boys in our troops over there, what do the American

(47:43):
people think about that?

Speaker 15 (47:45):
Right? Where do the American people get to weigh in?

Speaker 13 (47:47):
The they wait in to elect President Trumps.

Speaker 2 (47:51):
This happens in every war.

Speaker 9 (47:53):
This happens in every w A couple of weeks into it,
the couple of weeks into it when when the reality
of it anyway, we like there's a lot of activity also,
a lot of activity. They've been hitting. The rings have
been hitting hard near the the Israeli nuclear facility down
at Demona. We'll get into that next President Trump heading
to the White House. Your War Room's special crew is here.

(48:15):
You got Bratt, you got bannon balls en route, We're
gonna get Post so hopefully General Flynn, hopefully maybe even
Eric Prince, a whole cast of characters.

Speaker 2 (48:25):
Here in the war room on a Saturday night, back
in a moment.

Speaker 1 (48:43):
This is the primal scream of a dying regime.

Speaker 16 (48:48):
Pray for our enemies, because we're going to medieval on
these people.

Speaker 17 (48:53):
Here's not got a free shot. All these networks lying
about the people. The people have had a belly full
of bit I.

Speaker 2 (49:00):
Know you don't like hearing that. I know you've tried
to do everything.

Speaker 1 (49:02):
In the world to stop there, but you're not going
to stop it. It's going to happen.

Speaker 3 (49:05):
big line?

Speaker 4 (49:08):
Mega media?

Speaker 5 (49:10):

Speaker 6 (49:15):

Speaker 7 (49:19):
If that answer is to save my country, this country
will be saved.

Speaker 18 (49:25):
Room.

Speaker 8 (49:26):
Here's your host, Stephen k Back.

Speaker 9 (49:34):
Okay, welcome back. It is a Saturday, twenty one June.
You're of Alert twenty twenty five. I believe it's already
the twenty second of June. In Tel Aviv and Jerusalem.
Some folks there are telling me they think it could
be a long night as Israel and Iran continue to
slug this out. Israel clearly with the surprise attack and
then they're kind of a minimum at the beginning, but

(49:56):
then the Iranians have hit back. I think as surprise actually,
if not officials, definitely the some civilians about the hard
hit that the Uranians have given with their ballistic missile
and other programs.

Speaker 2 (50:08):
Dave Brett, you know, the Israelis very well.

Speaker 9 (50:11):
You think that some of them are quite surprised by
how much fight the Iranians have had in them, particularly
with some of these weapons that can actually reach places
like a Hypha and in Tel Aviv and do such
damage to civilian civilian populations.

Speaker 15 (50:28):
Yeah, I think we're all surprised.

Speaker 13 (50:30):
We're all learning The iron Iron Dome is built for
you know, smaller scale missiles, et cetera. It's not built
for an ongoing long war, right, and so they they've
been very protected. You know, they have the smartest people
in the world, the best intelligence in the world likely,
uh and so yes, and the people now they're living

(50:53):
underground in Hiphun and then up north, and they're saying,
we can't do this forever. We we can't live this
way forever, right, I mean, it's just the necessities of life.
And so we're starting to see the fog of war already.
And so you know, BB needs to list his objectives

(51:13):
very clearly, what is his end state very clearly, and
what is the role?

Speaker 15 (51:19):
I mean, why is he leading? President Trump is the lead.

Speaker 13 (51:23):
He is the president, he's the CEO of this country,
and he needs to take over the process here because
Israel is putting us in a bad spot.

Speaker 2 (51:33):
Right.

Speaker 13 (51:33):
It's this latest turn that's real problematic as well. BB
just says, you know today in the New York Post
or somewhere, I can't remember where I saw it, but
he says, I've got it now at the last minute.
So these are major pivots in the last week, and
our intelligence agencies aren't equipped to process that and make

(51:53):
all the secretaries. Can you imagine the scrambling going underneath
the presidency. Every sentence coming out of is real matters
for them, of course, and we want what's best for them,
and I think they're doing themselves some long run damage. Right,
we haven't even mentioned the rest of the world. Where's
the intelligence on that from our ci A, Right, where's Pakistan?

(52:15):
They have nukes? They weighed in and they said no.
Russia was kind of on the side. Now they weighed
in and they're saying no. And there's more and more
and more, And Turkey is a major power.

Speaker 9 (52:28):
Russia, Russia and Pakistan have come in on the side,
at least softly of supporting Iran. I mean, it's the
Chinese country party more than that, I mean that alliance.
Let me breaking for the New York Times and let
me just read this. Several US Air Force B two
bombers appeared to have taken off from a base in
the United States, and we're headed across the Pacific. As

(52:48):
President Trump was scheduled to meet at the White House
with its National Security team on Saturday evening to discuss
joining Israel's attacks on Iranian nuclear sites, the Trump administration
has not told the Israeli military whether the United States
plans to join the war on Iran, two Israeli defense
officials said on Saturday, Okay, so the Trump administration has

(53:11):
not told them they're prepared to come into the war.
According to Israeli defense authorities, but the two officials, speaking
on the condition of anonymity to discuss security matters, said
that after conversations with their American counterparts over the last
two days, they believed Washington was likely to enter the

(53:31):
war in the coming days and was already making preparations
to do so.

Speaker 2 (53:37):
Dave Bratt, your thoughts on that, we're not there.

Speaker 9 (53:40):
We're clearly looking at alternatives, putting assets so they can
be used, and as you know, once assets are there
to be used, oftentimes people feel a little more itchy,
trigger trigger finger tore doing. But that New York Times
report that says, do we have is the pool camera
out on the south Lune? Yet we're trying to get it.
Very frustrated producer is giving me stink eye, says, go

(54:03):
back and focus on Bratt.

Speaker 2 (54:04):
He'll take care of the pictures.

Speaker 9 (54:06):
So Brat, Yes, Bratt, you see you see right there
where President Trump hasn't made a decision. They're leaning I
think in that direction. He has said that he has
a military option that he's quite Can we go to
that right now? There's the President United States coming in
on the south lawn.

Speaker 2 (54:25):
That's not the that's not the President United States. Okay,
there we go. We're going to land it right there.

Speaker 9 (54:31):
Let's bring it down for those of you watching at
home on the live stream. Isn't isn't isn't it magnificent?

Speaker 3 (54:40):
Uh?

Speaker 9 (54:40):
The President is going to come past I think a
pool of reporters, our own David's her.

Speaker 2 (54:44):
There we go.

Speaker 9 (54:44):
Look at that audio, no questions, Okay, no nothing, it's
pretty serious. Look at that perfect landing right there. Boy,
that's magnificent. What a beautiful day, hot day, hot all
throughout the United States. Brant right there, he's seeing the
President of United States. Marine one. He will exit here

(55:06):
momentarily he will go into the well, you know, maybe
we gotta check it out. Maybe he goes into the
maybe he goes directly to the Oval Office. You can
go to the Oval Office then President Trump does that
on occasions. Or you can walk right off Marine one
and go right to the and go right into the south.

Speaker 2 (55:26):
Under the south portico of the White House.

Speaker 9 (55:28):
And you go there down there, near the the various
beautiful rooms down there, take a left and go through
the portico past the Rose Garden, uh, and into the
into the west wing and into the Oval Office. That
way we'll have to see. So the president is back.
That was a quick trip, less than twenty four hours
to Bedminster. I don't believe he took any questions at

(55:52):
at David. I don't think he took any questions at Morristown. Uh,
just got on the plane and let's let's go and
we'll see right now if he takes any questions from
the from the from the reporters owned David Zeer is
down there, and others as the pool back National Security
councilor's reported. The Director of Central Intelligence is John Retcliffe

(56:14):
from Texas. You've got Mark or Rubios, Secretary of State,
former US Senator. You also have Pete Hesith or on.
Pete hesath is there, Secretary of Defense. There'll be a
couple of three others. A President Trump does not had
these huge briefings during the first term. He was all
every now and again, he would go down to the

(56:36):
situation room, and it'll be many many more people, deputies,
principal deputies, all that. President Trump is not into that.
He's not into having a ton of people sit in
these meetings. And so this is one of the reasons
he downsized. He downsized the National Security councilor a couple
of weeks ago, I thought it was unnecessary to have
some of these people, particularly these people that Dave brad

(56:57):
as you know, are secunded from the apparatus or what
we referred to as the deep state.

Speaker 2 (57:03):
I want to give Real America's voice of heads up.
We might want to blow a break here.

Speaker 9 (57:07):
If the president goes in and we can follow it
all the way to the follow it all the way
into the Oval Office. There's Marine one on a on
a hot sunny afternoon in June, and you would think
it would just be another day at the beach. But
it's not President Trump's coming back here. Of course, as

(57:28):
the New York Times are reporting, they're weighing and measuring
the most important thing a president can do, day Bratt,
that is, commander in chief, is actually the the decisions
to put American combat troops, Bose, airmen, sailors, and uh
and soldiers in harm's way for the vital national security of.

Speaker 2 (57:51):
The United States. Yes, yes, nope, that's not the president.
I don't have my glasses on that. I can't see.

Speaker 9 (58:03):
My screen here, folks, is if microscopic compared to yours,
the gonzo nature of the actual war room is not
you know, this is not a this.

Speaker 2 (58:12):
Dave Bratt knows. You got to really squint to see that.
To see this.

Speaker 15 (58:16):
The charts are hard to read.

Speaker 2 (58:20):
Charts are very you got to know the charts.

Speaker 9 (58:22):
Hang on, can can we actually have and we're a
little we're a little staffed here. Can we take a
short Can we take a short break and let.

Speaker 2 (58:33):
Yeah? No, no, no, can we take a short you
take a short break and let Matt bowl in? H
hang on? Yeah, just hang there we go.

Speaker 9 (58:43):
We got a cameraman, we got the president. There's President Trump.
The President Trump right there is looking at his flagpole
in the new flag when you're there. There's way even
to do. He's he's pointing right. He's very proud of
that flag. Yes, Bratt, Bratt, you see that magnificent, huge

(59:06):
flag and thinks we've always just had a very small
flag on the top of the top of it.

Speaker 13 (59:11):
You But he was, I was sitting in for you
when he was installing it. He was smiling from ear
to ear.

Speaker 9 (59:20):
He loved it, didn't he Yeah, absolutely loved it. It
was just it was just absolutely extraordinary. You you you
asked the question, you know, you asked, when you're there
or you see why didn't no one think of that before?

Speaker 2 (59:32):
Why was it?

Speaker 9 (59:33):
I mean, this is another genius move of Trump. You know,
you don't have a you don't have a uh, you
don't have a flag. Now you've got a big, beautiful flag,
magnificent and President Trump just absolutely, uh absolutely loves it.
He's there exactly, I don't know, fifteen or twenty minutes
late from what they thought.

Speaker 19 (59:52):
Uh.

Speaker 9 (59:52):
He is now going to go uh uh gather his uh,
gather his folks, and he'll be in the Oval Office,
which is he went in actually through the under the
South Portico. He did not go directly the Oval Office.
He went to the South Portico. That's why he went
right back right by the flag. What did you think
about the by the way, we can go ahead and
take the break.

Speaker 2 (01:00:09):
We don't need to blow it. We're directing and producing
as we go. Here.

Speaker 9 (01:00:14):
Brat your thoughts on him coming back returning on a Saturday.
You just heard the New York Times saying these decisions
haven't been made, but Israeli officials Defense officials believe that
the United States is coming closer to a decision to
join as an offensive combatant in this Your thoughts.

Speaker 13 (01:00:33):
Are, well, you put your finger on it when you
close the sentence of the New York Times, Right, the
language is very loose for our national security interests. Oh really,
could someone please define what that is? I mean, we're
all dying to hear that. Sam Battis the other day
had an incredible argument about fod oh and all that
the fizzle material is already that's a dumb deal. Either

(01:00:56):
they got it or they don't got it, right, And
it's if we're scared of an immediate urgent see this
week intelligence of nukes. The physical material is not even play,
so photo's not in. So then the logic is inescapable.
They want us in for one reason. They want the
United States of America in the game for what? And
that's I I have not heard a reasoned answer to

(01:01:17):
our national security interests. I feel like President Trump is
having his legs cut out from what he is trying
to achieve with negotiated talks. If those fail, uh, then
then it's another game. Okay, then it's you know, game on.
As you're saying, right, that's the thesis.

Speaker 9 (01:01:36):
I've got the I've got a great this is a
great thing about having the word and written back to
the Capitol in Supreme Court. We've got can we yeah, momentarily,
by the way, you're gonna if you if I can
get your earpiece in it, if you at least listen,

maybe Eric Prince, maybe Jack Prosovic. All the military national
security types are out and about as they often want
to do on a Saturday. We're trying to track them
all down. The President United States is back at the
White House. He is heading towards the Oval Office. He's
about to have a briefing by his National Security Council

(01:02:53):
Central Intelligence, John Ratcliffe, the Secretary of Defense Pete Hegsith,
of course, the Secretary of State, Mark or Rubio, who's
book Secretary State and National Security Advisor. And a couple
of three others will be quite interesting. Who is there,
Matt Bull, Tulca Gabbard, maybe hopefully the Secretary Treasury Scott
Besn't maybe throw in there the economic impact of all
this short commercial break.

the team. Matt Bowle, the Great Matt Bull joins us. Matt,
you've been out of bed. Let me go to David
Zeer at the White House. David, you were right there.
President did came in through the South Portico he gave
a hat tip to his favorite, the new flagpole.

Speaker 2 (01:04:55):
He loves that big, beautiful flag.

Speaker 9 (01:04:57):
I mean, that's the first thing he wants to show
you when you're there, David, get us up to speed
on what's happening, including some breaking news still a little
bit unverified, but being reported by on some of the
TV stations in Israel about some kinetic activity.

Speaker 2 (01:05:09):
What do you gut, sir, Yeah, it.

Speaker 11 (01:05:12):
Seemed like Trump was running behind on his way to
the Oval office, did not step stop for questioning, but
did tip his hat to the American flag and his
beautiful new flagpole here. But Axios was reporting about an
hour ago that there was a potential meeting between Erduwan
Trump and Trump and Ertuwan, we're both coordinating a meeting
with the Supreme Leader Komeni of Iran, but that the

(01:05:34):
Supreme Leader went dark on them and couldn't do it.
There's also a report from the Israeli government that there
was a terrorist plot broken up in Cyprus. I don't
have any further details. And this chatter on like the
Israel War Room site that Israeli fighter jets were opening
the paths for potential B two routes into Foordoh, but

(01:05:54):
I cannot verify that for you. There's a lot going on.
And two more IRGC commanders were taken out, and one
of them was taken out he was the supply guy
to all the Middle East proxies in Yemen, and like
Mark Computer pointed out, you know, Trump May Iran may
have tipped their hand too far here because you know,
they had a lot of power with Hamas and Hesbala

(01:06:18):
and in Syria and in Yemen, and now they've lost
all that. So maybe they've got nothing to lose now
by prolonging this war. I'll be following things as close
as I can, and I'll give you some more info.

Speaker 9 (01:06:28):
Yeah, folks I know in Israel have been telling me
that they expect a long, difficult night there again in
that the nuclear facility and research facilitiate Demona, that Bersheba
has been hit constantly all week, and they expect more
barages tonight. David, hang on, Bratt, hang around, Matt. You've
covered this lot. Are you surprised by the amount of

(01:06:52):
tonnage of ballistic missiles that have gotten through the Iron
Dome and actually hit Israeli serville, I mean, Israeli civilians
are frontline combatant in this thing, are they not?

Speaker 20 (01:07:01):
It's definitely very I think rock Israel a little more
than they expected. And so, I mean, the the narrative,
if you will, from the Israeli government has been that
the Iron Dome was impenetrable, and that's not been the case.
And I think that they know that there are there
are serious costs to doing what they're doing here. That
doesn't mean it's wrong, right like, that doesn't mean that

(01:07:24):
what they're doing is wrong. And in fact, I know
a ton of American leaders that are rooting for the
Israelis in a big way right now. I spoke to
the Senate Majority Leader John Thune this morning.

Speaker 2 (01:07:34):
Well, we're for the Israelis.

Speaker 9 (01:07:36):
We want to get get through You got to go
through hell, go through as quickly as possible, exactly.

Speaker 20 (01:07:40):
But I mean, and and by the way, the Israelis
have been through hell, like I mean, they've been through
a lot of hell the last several years. I mean,
dating back to October seventh, yeah, and and and since then.
And frankly, but I do think that they're a little
bit caught off guard about how aggressive these Iranian responses
have been and.

Speaker 9 (01:07:57):
How tough it's going to be David, what what is
your do we have? That is that shot?

Speaker 2 (01:08:01):
Right?

Speaker 9 (01:08:01):
For Matt with the cant should microphone be down a
little or over? I'm gonna start directing. I'm gonna start
directing again.

Speaker 2 (01:08:06):
There, we got it.

Speaker 9 (01:08:09):
The David Zeir you're I know you have tons of
contacts in Israel. What are the thoughts that you know
from people there, particularly civilians.

Speaker 11 (01:08:19):
I have clients from Israel. They're very worried. They're digging in.
And I think it was the Foreign Minister in Israel
who said this is going to be a protracted war.
This is going to be long and drawn out. It's
not gonna end overnight. I think everybody's concerned, especially you know,
maybe with another thousand ballistic missiles in play, all the
Iranians have to do is get lucky once right, and

(01:08:39):
there could be a mass casualty event. I think everybody's
on edge.

Speaker 9 (01:08:44):
By the way, a report of an attack on a
missile depot, den and bender a boss, what.

Speaker 2 (01:08:48):
You know is near the oil fields down there? Yeah,
all you gotta do is not got the oil field.

Speaker 9 (01:08:52):
All you gotta do is not got the oil fields
or sink a couple of these cargo ships and the
streets or a moves and next thing you know, you're
gonna have a world economic problem here.

Speaker 20 (01:09:00):
Well, one of the things I would say, getting back
to where your other corresponding here was just talking about
about the report Naxios, about Ertawan and about the issue
in Cyprus. First off, Ertawan is extremely tied up with
the Chinese Communist Party and there have been reports all
over the last week and a half that the CCP
has been sending planes into Iran. I'll tell you the
the the entity that is loving this the fact that

(01:09:23):
America is distracted in Israel is the Chinese Communist Party.
And it's worth noting I have not independently confirmed the
report of Cyprus what happened there of a a parent
attack from on Israeli citizens in Cyprus, but I have
spoken to the President of Cypress in the past, not
that long ago, and in also the Prime Minister of Greece.

(01:09:46):
Greece and Cypress very close, and Cyprus is, you know,
right down the middle of Greece and Turkey right like,
and so I think there's.

Speaker 9 (01:09:54):
Just something both of those would argue, actually, Cypress is
theirs right right.

Speaker 20 (01:09:58):
The Greeks were certainly, and the Cypriots would argue that
they should be a fully, But the point is that
there's something going on here with the Turks and the Chinese,
and I think the President Trump needs to be very
careful who he trusts in these moments they're trying to
reach out to one agree. I don't think he can
trust her a lot.

Speaker 9 (01:10:18):
I have David brad and Davis jump in here with Bolan.
I I've argued now for a while that is as
Leithles as a threat is from Persia, that Israel's two
big threats I think right now are the access between
Turkey and Qatar, right because Turkey.

Speaker 2 (01:10:34):
Erdawan wants to.

Speaker 9 (01:10:35):
Re establish the Ottoman Caliphate, that's what he wants to
do before he dies. And the key to the Ottoman
Caliphate is to control of the two holy sites, which
they had before Lawrence of Arabia in the Arab Revault
in World War One in the British Army taking Damascus,
when that whole Jerusalem and Damastus that he is adamant
about reasserting that in Qatar would be at the top

(01:10:56):
of the top of the chain. Is someone to help them,
because they would love to make sure that the Saudis
did not have control of the two holy sites of
Meccan Madina. Now you're playing with fire right, this whole region.
This is what's so all this loose talk. You see
some of the other networks about you know, we're gonna
do this. It's just one sweeper way. This is a
powder keg. This is a tinderbox. You like the match

(01:11:17):
on this thing. You have a great as they or
doctor Thayer, who maytro get He says.

Speaker 2 (01:11:22):
Now we're not in the global warrantary anymore. This is
a great power struggle.

Speaker 9 (01:11:26):
You have the Chinese Communist Party, you have the Russians,
you have the Americans of the Judeo Christian West with
Western Europe right, and you're sitting here in the Middle East.

Speaker 2 (01:11:35):
And this thing could go up.

Speaker 9 (01:11:37):
And once it goes up, the law of and attendant
consequences is because of vengeance. And I want to get
back in wars of attrition, and it's what's happened in
Ukraine and Russia.

Speaker 2 (01:11:47):
You can't get it.

Speaker 9 (01:11:48):
President Trump's I have tough time getting to the table
because you have a man debt and one on either side.
So the whole thing of vindictiveness and vengeance, and you know,
not just territory. I want to get you back for
killing my family or torturing my son. This is the
type of thing that can spend quickly out of control.

Speaker 20 (01:12:05):
Met Boyle, I agree. And I think that the geopolitical
consequences here. I think that if you're talking about a
new axis rising, Uh, it is abundantly clear that Beijing
is pulling the strings Jijing thing. So Trump shouldn't even
waste his time calling Ertwanwan is Ji's lap dog.

Speaker 2 (01:12:23):
He needs to be president every day.

Speaker 9 (01:12:26):
President Trump is obviously things very highly of irt to
one I think I think he does more highly than
Matt Boyle and abandoned right and and by the way,
and in the same similar type of a situation with
Putin in Russia.

Speaker 20 (01:12:39):
But the and this is one of the things if
you go back and look, there's an interview I did
with Secretary of Rubio shortly after his confirmation when the
peace talks were just beginning.

Speaker 4 (01:12:48):
Uh.

Speaker 2 (01:12:48):
This is before Ukraine. Yes, this was before.

Speaker 20 (01:12:52):
Even Zelenski came to the Oval office with that whole
blow up of a meeting which did not end well.
That'll go down in history is the worst Oval Office
meeting of a foreign leader ever.

Speaker 2 (01:13:01):
I don't think anyone is that stupid to date, no idea,
what's in front of us to date? Right like so?

Speaker 20 (01:13:09):
By the way, after that, I think we saw what
was a care Starmer came with.

Speaker 2 (01:13:13):
An invitation from the CAG.

Speaker 20 (01:13:15):
That he pulled out of his podcast class act, right
like so. And I think Burrs from Germany came over
with like a little side that he gave him framed
in a suit. Yeah, in a suit, right like so.
But the but the thing is that if you go
back and look at that interview I did with Rubio
way back in it was early February, early in mid February,
I asked him, if what Trump is trying to do

(01:13:37):
here with Russia in Ukraine is almost a reverse situation
of what Nixon did. Remember Nixon went to China uh
To to to get them off of Russia. At the time,
the Soviet Union was the power. Now the CCP is
the power. So is this a reverse Nixon? Now these
things have come up?

Speaker 2 (01:13:57):
Are we not? So far? Look twy days ago we
would talk.

Speaker 9 (01:14:01):
Every day in the show about a Russian rap procheman,
that a rap roshman with Russia. Both Ukraine and the
Persian situation got solved because they're part of that. Now
we're so far removed for that. We're here on a
Saturday night. The president Ed States is in the Oval,
which you've been many times. Zi's going to report who's
not at Badminster, not in minister what he always loves doing,

(01:14:24):
the cookout for the people. I mean, he's a you know,
he's a He's a guy that not just entertains, it
makes you feel so welcome, Rocky Balboa and his restaurant
exactly he wants he wants. Now he's at the last
place on Earth. Donald Trump wants to be on a
Saturday evening in the summer, is in the Oval Office
having a national security briefing on war and peace, on

(01:14:46):
are we going to commit combat troops and that some
of these young men and women may not come back
from this, that this is at a vital national security level.
He's doing this because obviously he's President United States. He's
a dedicated patriot. But this shows you the intensity of
this moment. And I've said of coming down the escalator
ten years ago on last Sunday with all the victories

(01:15:07):
and defeats, We've had all the good times and bad times,
the tragedies and triumphs, all of it. This audience, everybody,
particularly the folks, is stuck all together. And in twenty
one said, hey, it's not DeSantis, it's not Nikki Haleo,
it's him. That's just a preamble for the next two
hundred days. This is where the legacy because you're facing
a ward's legacy defining moments. Yes, like this is a

(01:15:28):
legacy defining Take a short commercial break. Matt Bowles in
the house, David Zeer's at the White House, Dave Brat's

is Dave Bratt wearing pink tonight? Dave, I know it's
a weekend, but don't go crazy on me.

We're gonna make it a mad bull edition of my
free Constantinople shirt that should sell millions.

Speaker 20 (01:16:20):
Oh yeah, no, by the way, and we'll take it
as soon as Kimberly Gilfoyle is confirmed as US ambassaard
of Grease.

Speaker 2 (01:16:25):
Will take it to Grease. We'll sell him there, it
will sell.

Speaker 9 (01:16:27):
Tell me unbelievable, David Zer, can you tell us anything
about what's going on in the Oval Office?

Speaker 2 (01:16:34):
Have you seen anybody coming and going?

Speaker 9 (01:16:36):
Do we have any sense of how one of the
controversies Matt and Dave Bratt has been Who exactly sitting
in these meetings now? Right is Tulca Gabbard and there's
Joe Kenner, chief of staff in there? Is he getting
a broader range? I think JD is on his way back,
as JD on his way back from Los Angeles?

Speaker 20 (01:16:53):
Have we confirmed that you not spoken to the Vice
President's staff about that?

Speaker 2 (01:16:56):
Okay?

Speaker 9 (01:16:57):
JD was in l A doing, by the way, which
is the most important battle in this front, which is
repelling the ten million illegal alien invaders and telling the
Neo Confederate Governor Knewsom that we don't care how you
suicide court. It's not working. We're gonna we're gonna ship
out of here. So great if everybody was focused on that, right,
it would be fantastic. Right, this is what I so

(01:17:18):
Zerr gives up the date. What's happening at the White House, Sir.

Speaker 11 (01:17:22):
There's a pretty tight lid on everything.

Speaker 2 (01:17:24):
There's no word.

Speaker 11 (01:17:25):
There were very few staffers outside with us and inside
when we were going to wait for the helicopter Marine
one to arrive here. But Steve, if I could just add,
I would agree, don't trust Urdawan and he's been trying
to like unite the Arabic world, right, Saudi Arabia, han
Bali and Salafi one percent of the world's Muslims. A
Salafi caught our big Salafi state right cooperation with International

(01:17:50):
Brotherhood of Muslims and Saudi Arabia. My friend Phil Hane
always used to tell me God rest his soul, you know.
He always told me that the Saudi government he was wonderful,
he was a great friend. And he told me that
the Saudi government was actually bombing Salafi terrorists around the
world and in Egypt and in that area and cooperating. So,
like you said, I think you're correct, it's a very

(01:18:10):
complex situation here, and Erdawan is probably not to be trusted.

Speaker 9 (01:18:17):
Is this one of the criticisms from the Arab world?
I mean, And one of the things I've been advocating
is that given President Trump's recent trip, the first person
I would make a phone call to would be MBZ.
I think he's the most stabilizing character in that region
UAE right, Yeah, And I know.

Speaker 2 (01:18:34):
He and President are a very close relationship.

Speaker 9 (01:18:35):
He's also that that military is probably the same one
notch down from the IDF. In other words, they punch
way above their weight like the IDF does.

Speaker 20 (01:18:45):
And they're also the most western of them. They joined
the Abraham Awards, and.

Speaker 2 (01:18:51):
Very close to certain of the Israelis.

Speaker 9 (01:18:53):
A lot of Israelis now actually shouldn't say a lot,
but a number of young Israelis I think, actually live
or have cards to live in Dubai to work.

Speaker 20 (01:19:02):
Member of the iMac corridor as well, which is the
big Western led trade corridor.

Speaker 9 (01:19:06):
Yes, counter also the quite controversial advanced artificial intelligence and
advanced chip deal we just did with you. He would
be someone I would use as an anchor because I
think you need first of all, we need basing rights.
We need fly rights, which I don't believe have been
granted in this uh in this activity right now, which
I think you need. Right. I know we have certain rights,

(01:19:28):
but we don't have overall rights, particularly to be a
combatant against another not Arab nation obviously, but another Muslim nation.
So I think that's a consideration that that has to
be given. Erdawan is an interesting character here because unlike Iraq, right,
maybe even unlike the Gulf Emirates, or even like Afghanistan,

(01:19:51):
Persian and Turkey are two ancient civilizations that the Romans
fought constantly on their eastern flank.

Speaker 20 (01:19:58):
Right.

Speaker 9 (01:19:59):
One was for them the Greeks, for them the Greeks, right,
and the Romans kind of inherited from the Greeks, right,
So those the Great Thermopylae and all these battles.

Speaker 2 (01:20:08):
You see. That's why I refer to them as Persians.

Speaker 9 (01:20:11):
And the reason is that, can you, by the way,
just we're going to get General Flint up? Now, can
you get General Flint up or get his right here?
I'll give that to you right there. You just called
me if you want to just pick that up. We'll
produce this as we go.

Speaker 20 (01:20:26):
What I would say, Steve, is that these ancient civilizations
are we're talking about America's two hundred and fiftieth right
like we're coming up July fourth is the beginning of
the two undred fiftieth year of the United States. They're
waiting us out. They've been around thousands of years. They
think that where the new kids on the block, where
the you know, they're not going to make it.

Speaker 9 (01:20:43):
There's no doubt about that that that is a clear
and convincing strategy.

Speaker 20 (01:20:49):
I've taught to people who are in communication with the
Chinese and other governments around the world. Their intent right
now is to wait out President Trump. They want him distracted,
and they think that if they can ride out this
three and a half years left of Trump, is.

Speaker 9 (01:21:05):
There a better distraction to get sucked into another war
in the Middle East, particularly not with like an eracor Scan,
but with an ancient civilization like Persia, where it's a
thirty year war and even though maybe you're not maybe
you're not responsible for regime change, you're at least a
co combatant in it, and somehow the whole world, the
whole regions.

Speaker 20 (01:21:23):
Blaming you loving it right now, they are loving it.
They are loving what's happening right now. The Chinese are
Beijing is like applauding it and cheering it on. But
the but the fact is is that I've said this earlier,
Trump the biggest moment of Trump's first term. I said
this on my radio show earlier, Steve the biggest moment
of Trump's first term. And people think I'm a little

(01:21:43):
crazy when I say this, is that when John Claude
Junker from the European Union came over to the United
to the White House and they announced a trade agreement
between the United States and the European Union. Now, I
think that Trump had less leverage than he has now
in the trade agreements and the trade fight that he's
fighting worldwide. But this could change with a really complicated

(01:22:04):
war like this. But the fact is is that what
did that agreement with the European Union and Trump's first
term do. It set the stage for the eventual Phase
one deal with China? What did the Phase one deal
with China do? What did they do right after that?
Within within weeks, we were affected by COVID. Right now,
whether the virus came out of the lab. The virus

(01:22:26):
came out of lab. But whether the virus was intentionally
released or whether it was accidentally released and they covered
it up and used it to attack the West, regardless,
the outcome is the same. So the fact is that
that first trade deal, that first which wasn't even the
greatest trade deal.

Speaker 9 (01:22:45):
By the way, it was okay, well, would go back
in time, and that was called the skinny deal. The
real deal was the lightheiser in thevar two years that
took care of all the origins. In May of nineteen
where they had the one belt, one road with Putin
and then kind of spit, tore it up and spit
in our face. Lee Hook said, you know what, upon
further review, why she showe and she said, we can't
do this. Afterwards they declared the People's War, and then

(01:23:08):
in August and September in the Wuhan Military Games, people
started getting sick. Right, And so this is why the
CCP has targeted Donald Trump from the beginning.

Speaker 2 (01:23:19):
He's the one they fear.

Speaker 20 (01:23:20):
Right in what's been happening here in the second term
since Liberation Day is Trump has been with more leverage
and more if Trump places to say he's got the cards.

Speaker 2 (01:23:29):
He has the.

Speaker 20 (01:23:30):
Cards in a bigger way than he ever did in
his first term. He has the cards, he's got the leverage.
In the second term, he has been again making all
the right steps towards eventually forcing the handed. This first
deal that best and these guys went over and negotiated
with the Chinese in London, that's the beginning. That's the
beginning of something bigger eventually, when because Trump's already got

(01:23:52):
the deal with the United Kingdom, and I know they're
deep into talks with the EU and in and South
Korea and all these other cuntry that when once those
deals start coming out, that really.

Speaker 2 (01:24:03):
Puts the heat.

Speaker 9 (01:24:04):
Okay, hen for a second, By the way, I think
i'd like the first ten days after Liberation Day that
I'm liking now.

Speaker 2 (01:24:10):
But we'll get into that discussion later. Because he had
them all backed up, right.

Speaker 9 (01:24:14):
He could blow the whole thing up. Did reciprocity? Okay, Hey,
I'm Matt bow At General Flynn. General Flynn, the presidents
come back to the White House, he's in the Oval
in the National Security meeting. Can you walk us through
We're hearing underconfirmed reports at Israeli media that maybe the
Israeli either commandos or air assets are taking a shot
at Ford or can he gets up to speed on

(01:24:35):
what you think is going on, sir.

Speaker 19 (01:24:37):
Yeah, So here here's you know, I laid it out
this morning and uh and I know I knew earlier that.

Speaker 21 (01:24:44):
This is probably going to occur today.

Speaker 19 (01:24:47):
What they have done, I believe is the Israelis have
given a much greater level of detail about their campaign
plan what I call their campaign plan, to the White House,
specifically to Trump and and my guess is also to
Eric Carilla down at Sencom. So what is likely happening
is there's a there is an assessment for a targeting

(01:25:10):
solution being done on Ford out to make a determination
what will it take if there is going to be
a decision to destroy it and I mean destroy it
like send it back like into the next to the
last century. That that assessment is being done on the
ground right now.

Speaker 21 (01:25:29):
And keep in mind the.

Speaker 19 (01:25:30):
Time zone differences, so your early morning hours are occurring
right now. So you've probably got very specialized forces human
beings on the ground in locations with some very sophisticated
communications and targeting capabilities to be able to make a
run at this thing. If that decision is going to
be made, My guess is that the President is going

(01:25:52):
to get a full briefing. He's probably gotten a little
bit more information over the course of the day from
from uh, you know, from the Israelis is my you know,
my assessment and uh, and he's probably got a much
stronger idea about his decision making process at this point.
So that's where we are. Uh, He's going to gather

(01:26:15):
some more some more information, get a sense of where
his team is at. One of the other things, Steve
is our readiness to be able to conduct this operation.
Forces positioned in Guam, force's position in Diego, Garcia, force's
position in theater in case if we if in fact
we did fly airplanes, also escort aircraft in case something

(01:26:38):
went down, you got to have the resources to do
pilot rescues on the ground. So there's a lot of
moving parts right now that have to be in place,
and more than likely we are there and the President
is getting that update.

Speaker 9 (01:26:52):
Mike, I want to I'll get to the intel in
a second. Particularly the Massad c i A.

Speaker 2 (01:26:56):
You were head of d i A. The Tulsa.

Speaker 9 (01:26:58):
Garbett looked like maybe on the outsput I got to
ask you, Bb said today, and there's always been a
lot of pressure here in the United States finish what
you started. BB came out and said, Hey, if we
got to do it, we've got to do it. And
in fact, if the President doesn't make a decision here
within the next two weeks, we're going to go do it.
What's the probability that the Israelis can at least get
the ball in motion and take a crack at this?

Speaker 21 (01:27:22):
Yeah, very high, actually, Steve.

Speaker 19 (01:27:23):
I mean, so the uh three objectives, okay, folks. Three
objectives is no nuclear capability for Iran. The second thing
is really the diminishing or the destruction in the Israelis
have already done quite a bit of that of the
three primary surrogate forces of who these hezbal and Amas.

(01:27:45):
And the third thing, which is really more difficult task,
and that is going to be if there is a
regime change, who takes over. And you know what we
really want is we want the Iranian people to make
that decision. But clearly, clearly the nuclear capability for Iran
is no longer going to be. They're no longer to

(01:28:06):
be able to do that.

Speaker 21 (01:28:07):
I can guarantee that.

Speaker 9 (01:28:10):
And you but that has to come with a total
destruction for Dow, right that if you don't accomplish that,
you don't get to that objective, you don't check that box.

Speaker 2 (01:28:19):
Correct.

Speaker 19 (01:28:21):
Yeah, well, you know, I mean the destruction of for
Dow and Rik and a couple of these other spots.
But principally that one, you know, you put a hurt
on that, you conduct such extensive levels of damage that
the ability to be able to recreate that will take

(01:28:42):
years upon years upon years. So I don't have any
doubt that the Israelis are going to completely negate the ability.

Speaker 21 (01:28:52):
For RAND to have a nuclear weapon.

Speaker 9 (01:28:55):
Period if they take a shot at for Door and
it starts going well in the next day, if they like,
do it tonight, start tonight, but it's obviously going to
be a process. Do you think that that leads to
a stand down from at least where we are in
President Trump thinking of going kinectic here?

Speaker 19 (01:29:16):
You know, I don't, and I want to remind people
when we went into Iraq, and I think it was
the well in the two thousand and three time frame,
our bombing campaign, US bombing campaign, with all the sophistication
that we had then, which was significant. We didn't have
the drones that.

Speaker 4 (01:29:30):
We have now.

Speaker 19 (01:29:31):
But that was it lasted six weeks. The six weeks,
so you know, don't think that this thing is going
to end anytime, you know, in the next twenty four hours.

Speaker 21 (01:29:40):
So this is going to go on for a while.

Speaker 19 (01:29:42):
The Israelis are to me, are clearly on a on
their campaign.

Speaker 21 (01:29:45):
They're being very effective.

Speaker 2 (01:29:48):
You know.

Speaker 19 (01:29:48):
The the Iranians are are definitely moving forces around that
they have remaining some of their blistic missile launcher capabilities.
I got some of those reports today. They the intelligence
community is aware of a lot.

Speaker 21 (01:30:03):
Of this stuff.

Speaker 19 (01:30:04):
I think that Trump is going to just get another
update on where our positioning is at in the Middle
East and other parts of the region. But the other
side is is also this is for the thing that
you must look at is one of their one of
the Iranian reactions that some of these threats coming out
of the regime. You know, we have to also take

(01:30:25):
a look at what our homeland security posture is from
a military at defense and a law enforcement perspective, because
if all of a sudden we get some other information
that these guys have capabilities already here in this in
this country. We have to be ready for that too,
And I guarantee that the President's asking those questions.

Speaker 9 (01:30:45):
Are you surprised by the ballistic missile capability? Matt and
I and the guys were talking earlier about how the
Israelis have hit pretty hard given the volume of ballistic
missiles hitted them.

Speaker 2 (01:30:55):
Has that surprised.

Speaker 19 (01:30:56):
You, No, No, and I and and I can tell
you that they have. They have a lot of They
got a lot of these ballistic missiles, and they got
a lot of the launchers. And there's there's different types
of launchers too, ones that can launch you know, up
to I think it's three to five missiles at one time.
So there's a lot of sophistication in this country. And

(01:31:17):
they've had a long time to prepare that. I mean,
just look at the hoothy capabilities that came out of
I Ran. I mean, Jesus, they almost took out an
aircraft carrier what two months ago? So uh us aircraft carrier.
So I'm not surprised one bit. They at a certain
point in time that ability is going to not be

(01:31:37):
as as substantial as it as it as it was
at the beginning. And I do think that even though
we see pictures of like the hospital d and being
destroyed in Israel, the Israelis have you know, their iron
dome system, you know, with with some other sophisticated uh
air air based capabilities, has.

Speaker 21 (01:31:57):
Been actually very effective. I actually think that they've been
very effective.

Speaker 19 (01:32:00):
And Natanyalu on the very first night, he basically instructed
the people of Israel to go to ground, and you know,
and they did. They they followed, they followed, and they're
the people of Israel are for their their government, where
the people of Iran are not for their regime. And
that's a problem for for internal uh UH security right now,

(01:32:20):
domestic security inside of Iran, that is definitely a problem
that they're having.

Speaker 2 (01:32:24):
To deal with.

Speaker 9 (01:32:26):
Is it UH general about regime change? They've already decapitated
much of the military uh command structure. They have taken
a number of the secul leaders, including the negotiators that
Steve Wickoff for dealing with. Is your definition of either
regime change or regime destruction means that the ayatola and
the senior clerics all have to be taken out?

Speaker 19 (01:32:49):
Yes, I mean I think the iyetola has to go.
My is my personal opinion, Steve the Ietola has to go.
I don't care if he goes to Beijing, Moscow or Paris.
Doesn't Might that make a bit of difference to me.
He's got to go. I do believe that there are
some generals. See there's two armies in the in in Iran,
right there's the RGC, and there's also.

Speaker 15 (01:33:09):
The Iranian Army, and the Iranian Army is not you.

Speaker 19 (01:33:12):
Know, they're not as as tight around the security of
the regime because the RGC is what has basically kept
these guys in power. But there are there are leaders
in that country that are sick and tired of living
the way that they do, and and that's always been
the case. We've all we've known that for a long time.
They just never had an opportunity to take advantage.

Speaker 21 (01:33:34):
Of a situation like this. So so you've got some people.

Speaker 19 (01:33:38):
There that I know that the the Israelis have to
be aware of, and they probably have have considered some
of these people, and that probably you know, there's probably
been some covert operations to.

Speaker 21 (01:33:51):
Talk to them. So I'm I'm.

Speaker 19 (01:33:53):
Interested in that part of this campaign, in this in
this conflict right now, is goo will rise out of
the ash just a take over Iran.

Speaker 9 (01:34:03):
And I want to make announcement we've real America's voice.
We're gonna stick around another hour because we have so
much more to go through. We have some other people.
When to come on to David Zyrs obviously at the
White House for his day. Bratt is my co host,
has always boils in the UH in the co captain
chair right here, General Mike Flynn, FORMERDA and former National
Security Advisor President Donald Trump. General Flynn, you know, MacArthur

(01:34:26):
and and Truman made a very specific well thought through
not to take out here or heido because of all
the cultural or religious UH things related to Japanese society
and culture. If we are to get into the situation
of supporting and clearly you know BB tried to upsell
us in the first forty eight hours for regime change
or regime destruction. I would say here because I don't

(01:34:48):
think anybody's got an idea who's gonna, who's gonna who's next?
Do you think that we're opening Pandora's box? And let's say,
let's say in the next week, we don't even have
to get involved kinetically that the ISRAE at least however
they do it take care for Doris. So we're here,
we've aided them on air defense. We're clearly they're big sponsor.
But do you still think we're opening a can of worms?

Speaker 2 (01:35:11):
Uh?

Speaker 9 (01:35:11):
If if if, if people in particularly the Israelis go
through and actually do regime destruction, is there is there
any path back from that?

Speaker 2 (01:35:20):
General?

Speaker 19 (01:35:22):
You know, I don't think there's a path back from that, Steve,
for for Israel, unless unless all of a sudden, baby
that yaou realizes is that you know, we've been off
too much here.

Speaker 21 (01:35:31):
I don't think that they've decided that yet.

Speaker 19 (01:35:33):
I don't, But I don't think there's a path back
from getting rid of this, uh, this this tyranny that
exists in in Iran. And frankly, Steve, you know, as
far as I'm concerned, that's that's kind of my where
my head is that now, how do we do it?
And you know, the one thing that I definitely trust
right now, and it's you know, it's from it's from

(01:35:54):
good good you know, it's from my own analysis, but
it's also from no one who were dealing with is.
I trust the instincts of Donald J. Trump, his instincts
on this have been really good and he hasn't been
pushed into anything yet and he won't be pushed into anything.
So so I believe that he's he's doing exactly what
he needs to be doing. He's very steady on the

(01:36:15):
tiller here and uh, and he's gathering all the information.
He'll make the right call and when he does, it'll
be what's best for this country.

Speaker 9 (01:36:24):
We just heard from the White House they put a
lid on uh. So the President got a briefing. He
ain't gonna come out. He's not gonna not let anybody
go in the Oval office. Asked any questions, right, not
a knife for questions, Matt Boyle.

Speaker 2 (01:36:35):
Well, lead means that.

Speaker 20 (01:36:36):
They're done for the Yeah, right, So they're sending the
reporters home now. They can always lift that, by the way,
So that's happened before.

Speaker 2 (01:36:42):
I believe me. With world of ants, so it's possible.

Speaker 9 (01:36:45):
But I tell you what, we're gonna hang over to
another hour. We get somebody to go general FLYNT. We're
gonna let you bounce by general phone. The last year
because you've been very you've been very focused on the
Chinese companist party in your assessment of where we stand today,
How is this aided and a bed at the CCP
and their rise to actually take over from America as
a global hedgemon.

Speaker 19 (01:37:07):
Yeah, so people have to understand that Iran is being
used as a hub and spoke for a giant chunk
of the Chinese Belt Road initiative into Europe and into Africa.

Speaker 8 (01:37:17):
So this is a big deal.

Speaker 19 (01:37:19):
The port facilities from Hadar and Pakistan to Banderabas. So
the Chinese have taken big advantage of this. Now what's
going to happen though, Steve, is that the Chinese they
are going to feel the pressure because ninety percent of
the oil that's coming out of there, coming out of
Iran right now, goes to China and they get forty
percent of their energy resources from from Iran. So so there's

(01:37:43):
a lot of steak here for China. The Chinese are
are going to try to play the you know, a
mediator here on the world stage.

Speaker 21 (01:37:51):
They're they're in a tough spot.

Speaker 19 (01:37:53):
I think the Chinese are in a tough spot, and
I like the position that Trumps putting them put them
in with the tariffs on one side and then just
being you know, the smart warrior that he is right
now on this side, you know, like waiting to see
what this thing is going to do when the Israelis
play this campaign out very very shrewd as far as

(01:38:14):
I'm concerned on Trump's behalf.

Speaker 9 (01:38:19):
General Flynn, where do people go for your content? How
did they get to you? And all you know you're
doing a podcast? You got these sit reps? Are to
read the sit reps every morning?

Speaker 21 (01:38:27):
Yeah, I'm on the tenth sit rep.

Speaker 19 (01:38:29):
I just I decided to do it because I couldn't
find anywhere where people were actually talking about the different issues.
So at Jen Flynn on X and then I cross
postos on every other platform that I got. I'm also
I also got a great new book out Partner of
Innocent Innocence, and it's a great book about warfare actually,
So at Jen Flynn, I'll be putting sit reps out

(01:38:50):
sometimes at least once a day, if not a couple
of times a day on what's happening.

Speaker 9 (01:38:55):
General fun Thank I tell you, there's a lot of chatter,
General Flynn. As you leave that are there are members
of the media and other people that are talking to
people around saying I don't know either Israel or America.
The party could be on tonight, So we're gonna stay
here for another hour and break it all down.

Speaker 2 (01:39:09):
General Flint, thank you and thank you for the sit reps. Grace.
We've got to make sure everybody gets them. Thank you.

Speaker 9 (01:39:13):
Sir boy is going to stick around. Zer's at the
White House. Although they put a lid on it, put
it in on me. He's the President's not going to
say anything else tonight, right the officially the Comm's Department, So.

Speaker 2 (01:39:27):
He's the reporters can go home, go home.

Speaker 9 (01:39:29):
Then President Trunk work the phone and talked to two
hundred reporter, so let he's actually the Comms director himself,
of course, Dave Bratt and his salmon as salmon rights,
not pink salmon salmon, Okay, Dave Bratt or Brett Bratt,
Dave Bratt Pitt as he calls himself, going to stick around.
We got a lot more Bradley Thayer, hopefully Eric Prince,

(01:39:51):
hopefully Jack Besu.

Speaker 2 (01:39:52):
But a lot going on.

Speaker 9 (01:39:54):
As we now get into the evening of the twenty
first of June, in the year of Our Lord twenty
twenty five, another historic day. Remember Lennon said there are
decades in which nothing happens and there are weeks in
which decades happened.

Speaker 2 (01:40:07):
Folks. I think this week has been one, and guess what.

Speaker 9 (01:40:11):
We're about to start another week here in a few hours,
and I think we're about to face another one. You're
here at the still point in a turning world. The
war room back in a moment.

Speaker 16 (01:40:42):
This is the primal scream of a dying regime. Pray
for our enemies, because we're going.

Speaker 2 (01:40:49):
To medieval on these people.

Speaker 1 (01:40:52):
Here's not got a free shot.

Speaker 17 (01:40:53):
All these networks lying about the people, the people have
had a belly full of it.

Speaker 2 (01:40:58):
I know you don't like hearing that. I know you
tried to do everything in the world.

Speaker 1 (01:41:01):
To stop there, but you're not going to stop it.
It's going to happen.

Speaker 3 (01:41:03):
big line?

Speaker 4 (01:41:07):
Mega media?

Speaker 5 (01:41:08):

Speaker 6 (01:41:14):

Speaker 7 (01:41:17):
will be saved war.

Speaker 8 (01:41:25):
Here's your host, Stephen K.

Speaker 9 (01:41:27):
Bath, Saturday, twenty one June. You're Viler, twenty twenty five.
In the fading light, the gloaming. Let's go to david'
zerr David, I might mention that Brian Glenn I think
took your lighting package. Also wanted to make sure the
president asked it. Give you time to ask a question
for your for your big star turn here on Saturday
on the path to war, Sir getting closing comments before

(01:41:49):
we let you go.

Speaker 11 (01:41:51):
Yeah, I wouldn't want to be anywhere else. I tell you,
it's been an exciting few days here. And I just
wanted to add, you know, that Houthy cruise missile that
almost hit the Harry S. Truman came within like a
half a mile or a mile, and if it wasn't
for that FAILANX close in weapons system, that carrier might
be gone.

Speaker 2 (01:42:07):
Very serious stuff here.

Speaker 11 (01:42:08):
And I just want to report US Sencom was saying
now according to Israeli media, that Iran was a week
away from nuclear grade uranium before the preemptive strikes here.
And I just want to add one thing about Erduwan.
He was the benefactor of the Syrian takeover what by
HDS right another Salafi group, and he's trying to concentrate

(01:42:29):
a sunny power and was even behind some uprisings in
Iran because of the SCHII contingent. But it looks like
Erdawan is, like you said, maybe trying to make some
moves himself.

Speaker 9 (01:42:41):
You know, David, and you're the expert in this. And
by the way, that Falanx gun system is basically a
wall of steel. It's like a gatling gun, right. It's
it's advanced technology for fire control and target exposition, but
it's kind of old fashioned when it's past everything else.
We just put a wall of lead and shredded, right,
So it's that that's how that got to the to
the to a aircraft carrier of actually taking it down.

(01:43:05):
But as you mentioned that, David, this this is it's
like flashbacks and you get to sweaty palms. I mean,
do we want to go back? This is the problem
with getting involved in this. We should be talking about
Vice President jd Vance out in Los Angeles doing mass
deportations and federalizing the armenforces.

Speaker 2 (01:43:22):
We should be having a debate. We should have Mike.

Speaker 9 (01:43:24):
Davis on here and Julie Kelly and Boyle and all
of us arguing about passe comatatas and Briar's brother who's
taking us now to judge. We should be talking about
the big, beautiful bill. There's such a big gap between
the bid and the as. There's so many huge issues
on the tax and spending bill right now that they're
working on that. People are not The reason is we

(01:43:46):
spent two hours this morning and two hours four hours
already in the war room with the top people, and
we're getting into the details of Persia and this, and
you mentioned that right there, and we talk about Ertawan
and Turkey and Cutter and all all you bring up
and all the different tribes, and dude, this can suck.
I'm telling you, this is what people don't want to do.
I don't want to go back to that place. You know,

(01:44:08):
you're the expert on all the nineties. If I wind
David zero up, he can go for two hours on
just the attacks and the States in the nineties. We
don't want to go back to that place, David. And
here's the reason. Here's what's going to happen. We're getting
sucked into this and axually drawn back into a Middle
East war that's going to take all the attention of Trump.

(01:44:28):
Trump just came back on a Saturday evening and he's
had a briefing and they put a lid on it.
You know, he's thinking, he's having other meetings that probably
giving other details war and peace.

Speaker 2 (01:44:39):
He may be making decision on that right now.

Speaker 9 (01:44:41):
When you're that occupied with these kind of big issues,
you're not focused on anything else.

Speaker 2 (01:44:45):
You can't focus on anything else.

Speaker 9 (01:44:47):
This is it's the opportunity costs, not just the direct
was it take to fly the B two and you
know we've got all these young men and women in
harm's way and all these other costs. It's also the
opportunity cost the big opportunity costs, right as sure as
the turning of the earth.

Speaker 2 (01:45:03):
This is where we're going to be focused.

Speaker 9 (01:45:05):
And guess what the Chinese Communist Party and the Progressive
Democrats and the deep state they want Trump myer down
and focused in persia on, you know, taking on this
ancient symbolism.

Speaker 2 (01:45:19):
Am I wrong? And this is one of the reasons
I said we can't do this. We can't do this.

Speaker 20 (01:45:22):
By the way, I think that this is a huge
moment for President Trump, but I think he deserves an
enormous amount of credit here right, the fact that he
is slowing down any time. If this was if this
was George Bush, I mean, he probably would have bombed
them like fifty times already, right, because you see that intent.

Speaker 2 (01:45:38):
Why President Trump may end up making that decision. And
by the way, if he does, he's the commander. And
look at Fox News.

Speaker 9 (01:45:43):
Look at Fox News, the hyperventilate, you grew the hyperventilate.

Speaker 2 (01:45:47):
Everything Fox News is totally absurd.

Speaker 20 (01:45:48):
And I saw your comments the other day, Steve about
that that there should be like a fair investigation or something.
Am I over the top of that, right, like I
think that Fox News has been totally ridiculous, And frankly, look,
at the end of the day, the president may make
the decision to do that.

Speaker 2 (01:46:05):
Exactly. If he does, he's the commander in chief. He
has every right to do so.

Speaker 20 (01:46:08):
And by the way, he's been very consistent over the
course of a decade plus. I remember I don't know
if he did it in the speech where he announced
his campaign, but very shortly thereafter, I think it was
in September. He was here in September twenty fifteen. He
was doing a big event here in Washington, DC, and
Senator Cruz was there and Mark Levin, who was on
Ted Cruz's side against Donald Trump.

Speaker 9 (01:46:28):
By the way, whoa I remember that, yeah, but was
a super never Trump.

Speaker 22 (01:46:33):
They all came and did a big rally right over
across the street at the at the at the US
Capitol against the Irandia right like back during the Obama presidency,
President Trump's been remarkably.

Speaker 2 (01:46:44):
Actually I think I think you and I were part
of it, and Trump showed up.

Speaker 9 (01:46:47):
I remember interviewing mart I think that was master sermon
or something, and then Trump shows up. It's got to
be ninety nine degrees in ninety five percent humidity. Even
Ted Cruis thinks, show up in a shirt. Trump's shows up,
the blue suit, the red tie, the full thing, and
he goes that gives the whole thing and how they
can't get it. So he's been That was in fourteen,

(01:47:07):
his first time to DC, after he announced his campaign.
But that was in fifteen, I think so, it was
right after he announced his campaign.

Speaker 2 (01:47:15):
So but the fact is that presidentship.

Speaker 20 (01:47:17):
Has been remarkably consistent about how Iran cannot have a
nuclear weapon his entire time in public life.

Speaker 2 (01:47:23):
So if the President and the Commander in.

Speaker 20 (01:47:24):
Chief makes a decision to strike Iran, he's well within
his right to do so. But at the same time
he needs to weigh the consequences and the fact that
he's doing that, as we're seeing play out over the
course of the last ten days since Israel started their
bombing campaign, is responsible.

Speaker 9 (01:47:42):
This is what Maga appreciates. He didn't get steamrolled by
these guys, he said two weeks. He's thinking about it.
Everything he's doing is weighing and measuring right. Measure truck
twice cut once as the great Jack for Servi said,
hanger for a second, David Szier. I'm gonna let you
wrap up, brother, give me your closing thoughts.

Speaker 19 (01:48:02):
Zero.

Speaker 9 (01:48:03):
David Zerr is still there, is gone. Okay, fine, we
shut him down. Okay, fine, that's okay. White House strew
him out right when they put a lid. They that's
not a kid, that's David. We might get him in
the penalty box. He may be in the world there.

Speaker 2 (01:48:24):
David zero.

Speaker 9 (01:48:25):
Okay, fine, we're moving for any daylight that that's left.
Bratt give me your give me your thoughts, sir, Well.

Speaker 13 (01:48:33):
You just stole my thunder a little bit. We haven't
mentioned domestic policy at all. It's not in the headlines
at all. This dock markets forward looking right, and they
know no significant blip from going to war, and I
think they're interpreting it as a strike.

Speaker 15 (01:48:48):
I don't think it's going to be a strike. If
you go to war, you go to war.

Speaker 13 (01:48:52):
The war since nine to eleven cost the US economy
eight trillion.

Speaker 2 (01:48:56):
Dollars to Brown University.

Speaker 15 (01:48:58):
Hang on, that's without rushing.

Speaker 2 (01:49:01):
I want to be very specific. I want you to
go back and be very specific about.

Speaker 9 (01:49:04):
This, because when the President thinks about this at all,
and he knows clateral damage bull, he's thinking about a
highly focused hit that takes care of a tactical problem
that the Israelis themselves cannot complete. To complete the four door,
take it down and make sure there's no more program

(01:49:25):
brat you're saying by definition, because they'll hit back or something.
Once you're a combatant, you're a combatant. Is that The
advice you've got to the president is that once you're in,
you're in. It doesn't matter if you just do one
tactical strike. You're a combatant, and you're going to be
treated like a combatant.

Speaker 13 (01:49:41):
Sure, and the proof war is all consuming and I'm
not discounting war here. He's the commander in chief, he's
the head of it. It's existential. So of course it's
the number one issue, the most important to the president.
But he knows, right Afghanistan Iraq eight trillion dollars, he's
trying to save two hundred billion, five hundred billion. There's

(01:50:02):
no discussion of the big, beautiful bill, which is going
to frame his legacy and his agenda going forward. That's
going to be what's remembered at the in ten years
from now when you look back at this war.

Speaker 15 (01:50:14):
What good is going to come out of this war?

Speaker 13 (01:50:17):
If you spend eight trillion dollars on war, that's totally
wasted money. That is not productivity enhancing. His brain manufacturing back.
His trade policy is productivity enhancing.

Speaker 15 (01:50:30):
That will be his legacy.

Speaker 13 (01:50:31):
And by the way, why do you think it is
that the United States is in a position to fight
this war because we've had massive economic growth and we're
the most successful country on the earth. If we lose
that and we're losing it, right, I mean, the left
is just kind of silly in the reporting on economics
and finance. Right, so, oh, they all of a sudden
they noticed debt, thirty seven trillion dollars in debt, and oh,

(01:50:54):
they've even discovered the bond market vigilantes. And that's a
real problem, right, that's a problem paying back the debt.
Got reserves in the headlines, but they haven't put it together.
What's the cost of this war? And added deficits just
gonna be coming up this year.

Speaker 15 (01:51:09):
It's all encompassing.

Speaker 13 (01:51:10):
Like you said, Every secretary, he said, has will shift
their entire agenda because of this war.

Speaker 15 (01:51:17):
It's not a little target.

Speaker 9 (01:51:19):
We're going to wall against zero. Yeah, you stick right there,
you hang, I'm gonna come back to ball. We're gonna
doctor Thayer, hopefully, Prince I'm gonna lose zero. David, you
sent chills down my spine as you start going through
all the details you know, of all the different groups
that are fighting in this chic and that chic and
that just I said, Oh.

Speaker 2 (01:51:37):
My god, we can't go back there. But we're gonna
go back there.

Speaker 9 (01:51:40):
David Zeer, the question to you is, as we close
for your segment, even a limited tactical strike by President
Trump just to take it out if the Israelis can't
do it, does that make us a major combatant in
this war? Is that gonna suck us in to a
new Persian war?

Speaker 2 (01:51:57):
Sir?

Speaker 11 (01:51:59):
All we are already shooting down incoming missiles in Israel,
and the Iranian leadership said it's a non starter if
they got to give up ballistic missiles and then their
nuclear weapons program. They're going to drag this out and
prolong this. And I just would close with when you
talk about Klausowitz and the fog of war here, we
lost two hundred million dollars in fighter jets just on

(01:52:19):
the Truman since December. And we have the best military
in the world, but by having three carrier groups and
forty thousand troops over there, things can go wrong, unexpected events.
And I wish our guys god speed. It's an honor
to be here at the White House the last few days.
And I think even though your getta chat was lit
up with some divisiveness, you know, some people want it,

(01:52:39):
some people don't want.

Speaker 19 (01:52:40):
To do it.

Speaker 11 (01:52:41):
You know, I think that they'll rally behind Donald Trump,
and I think a lot of people have faith in
him that he's a true leader.

Speaker 9 (01:52:50):
Thank you, David, David zire social media, Where do people
get you over the weekend? You're you're one of the
best guys of understanding this region and understanding all the
vendettas and everybody that's had each other's for its constantly.

Speaker 11 (01:53:01):
Thank you so much, Steve. I'm at Dave ze on X,
I'm at David Zeer on Ghetter and on Facebook, and
David w Z on Insta. Thank you so much.

Speaker 9 (01:53:11):
No matter how we do it, We've got a minute
for a good to break, Brad hang On, no matter
how you try to do it. And the discernment that
President Trump is clearly doing his commander in chief. You're
kicking over a hornet's nest, right, I mean, this is
a bad place in the world as ever, and this
is our third turn here since the beginning of the century.

Speaker 2 (01:53:29):
This century has defined America.

Speaker 20 (01:53:31):
Is hire is not a rack, Okay, Like I mean,
this is a very very you know what's interesting I
watched I know that everybody freaks out about the handful
of clips they see go online, but I watched the
entire two hours of Tucker Crossing and Ted Cruz's interview,
and one of the one of the clips that did
go viral was when Tucker was asking him about the

(01:53:52):
population and the demographics.

Speaker 2 (01:53:54):
Maybe not the most important moment.

Speaker 9 (01:53:56):
I thought it was important if you don't know anything
about it.

Speaker 20 (01:54:00):
But the fact is you're talking about a country is
ninety million people, ninety two million people. That is as
big as I mean, it's bigger than Italy, it's bigger
than Germany, it's.

Speaker 9 (01:54:08):
Bigger than in size, it's three times the size of Texas.

Speaker 2 (01:54:12):
Right, this is a massive place.

Speaker 20 (01:54:14):
It's like the one of the top ten countries population
wives worldwide.

Speaker 2 (01:54:18):
It ain't Iraq, right, it ain't Iraq.

Speaker 20 (01:54:20):
Like, this is not gonna be okay, walking apart, and
they're gonna fight back.

Speaker 9 (01:54:24):
And they've been Listen, that's what I call them Persians.
They dropped the CIA name Iran. Yes, they get other
groups with their Persians. This is the same group against
the Romans and the Greeks and then the Romans for
two or three millennia. I mean they've been added, right,
and you know the Romans didn't put that big a
den in them.

Speaker 20 (01:54:40):
And there's gonna be that. We need to be on
guard for possible sleeper cells. We need to be on
guard for every time. Look, I just saw a report
in the last half an hour that CBS News reports
that the US State Department has begun evacuation of Americans
from Israel. So the the State Department is evacuating Americans
from Israel, right, is a big deal game on okay,

(01:55:01):
short commercial breaks, stick around, There's a lot more here
on a Saturday evening in the war room, short break
back in a moment, So.

Speaker 23 (01:55:09):
Uh suggest you say look inside? Thank you say already
you win.

Speaker 15 (01:55:22):
In lost your pride.

Speaker 10 (01:55:24):
But I'm American made, I got American, I got American made.

Speaker 8 (01:55:37):
America's here's your host, Stephen K.

Speaker 9 (01:55:42):
Bab Alexander Ward of the wash Wall Street Journal reporting
that the Marco Rubio Secretary of State Rubyo has been
on the phone yesterday and today talking to leaders in
Europe and saying, quote President Trump's preferred option. President Trump's
preferred option is a diplomatic, negotiated deal. Talking in there,

(01:56:04):
including France, the United Kingdom, Sweden, Italy, and Cypress. And
Cypress are kind of deal guys here, so that's been important.

Speaker 2 (01:56:12):
They're in the loop.

Speaker 9 (01:56:12):
Matt Gates, former Congressman and one of the leaders of
this movement, joins us A, Matt, you've you've been on
fire on the coverage of this. Where do you think
we stand on this Saturday night, sir well.

Speaker 24 (01:56:25):
I want to thank you for running the power leg
of the relay for peace. Our friends, you know, like
like Charlie Kirk and Tucker Carlson have spoken to the
President since your meeting. I have encouraged the President speaking
directly to him because there is no greater force for
peace in this world today than Donald Trump. That man

(01:56:47):
deserves the Nobel Peace Prize. Because you and I both know, Steve,
if any of the other serious contestants in the last
presidential election had won, if you had a president Nikki
Hayley or Ron DeSantis or Kamala Harris or Joe Biden
or you know, God forbid, Mike Pompeo, there would be

(01:57:09):
bombs in Tehran tonight, but they would have been they
would have been bombs in Tehran a week ago, and
there would be twenty to forty million war refugees on
the move toppling governments, destabilizing Middle Eastern countries, and creating
the greatest hot bed for terrorism that the world would

(01:57:30):
have ever known. It would have made, it really would
have made Isis look like the JV Team in comparison
to the terrorism that would have arisen had any one
other than Donald Trump won this election. Now I wish
I was getting better news from the Arab world right
now about the the Iranian reaction, because frankly, if those

(01:57:51):
folks had any sense at all, they would do exactly
what Donald Trump is saying right now, save their regime,
saved their lives, and save in an entire region from
falling into ruin by their hands. That would be their
bloodstain for all of history. And you know, if they
don't do that, the big question, Steve is can can

(01:58:13):
this happen more? Akin to the Solomoni takeout? Now, we
supported the Solomoni strike because it was President Trump very
clearly resetting deterrence, making clear his desire was not some
extended conflict, but resetting deterrence on his terms, and the

(01:58:33):
cascade of horribles didn't happen. So could that happen with
a very limited US engagement? I think that's that's something
that's on the President's mind right now.

Speaker 9 (01:58:46):
Matt, you know today and Ball's gonna jump in here
in a second. Today BB finally came up to the
post and said, hey, we can get this done. Do
you think it behooves us to continue to press the
Israelis to finish what they say started here and then
leave us with at least not getting involved in offensive
combat operations, although we've been very involved in the defense

(01:59:08):
of today. Do you think that that is a course
of action that we should continue to push.

Speaker 24 (01:59:15):
This is where you and I may diverge. But what
exactly does this mean? Does this mean an Israel caused
regime change in Iran? Because here's my theory of the case.
If you really study this target package from the IDF
and how the target package has really changed since the

(01:59:37):
first few days of this war, this is not a
denuclearization campaign by Israel. This is a decapitation campaign. If
you look at who they are killing, who they are
taking out. I mean, if Trump didn't Trump wasn't so
wise as to see the consequences of this, they would
have already killed the Iyahtola. I'm sure you don't dispute that.

(01:59:58):
Left to their own devices, without Trump, they would have
killed the Atola. Now what would have happened, then, Steve,
A country of ninety million people would have broken out
into civil war? Now why would Israel want that? Why
would Israel want chaos in Iran? Which is definitely what
would happen. Okay, I think it is because there is
such a jealousy and resentment over Trump's first trip to

(02:00:22):
the Middle East, highlighting these emerging capital markets in Riat
and I've got my problems with the Saudi's, but in Riad,
in Doha, in Abu Dhabi, and you know, more and
more people are looking at like Oman and this type
of Gulf orient And I think the Israelis believed that
a Middle East in chaos with tens of millions of

(02:00:46):
war refugees is one that will stop the world from
positioning towards some of those capital markets.

Speaker 9 (02:00:54):
Wow, so you're saying that as they move forward, it's
not just it is not just simply to to take
out for door and make sure they limded. The thing
we said on Friday morning after they the first night
of the strike, it struck us that taking out so many,
so many military leaders that are not directly involved in
the nuclear program looked like a decapitation.

Speaker 1 (02:01:14):
It is something.

Speaker 2 (02:01:17):
You have heard.

Speaker 24 (02:01:19):
You have heard all of this stuff from BB for
decades about the need for regime change in Iran. That is,
that is what he has preached since the nineties. And
if you all believe that he woke up and is
going to have a successful uh denuclearization campaign, have total
air superiority because Masad brilliantly took out the same four
hundred air defenses. They have total total control of disguise.

(02:01:42):
They're going to pursue regime change unless Donald Trump stops them.
And by the way, Donald Trump already did. Why are
we even debating this? Do you all dispute the reporting
that they wanted to kill the iotolin. If you don't
dispute that reporting, then then why are we debating what
this is about?

Speaker 9 (02:02:01):
There isn't maybe even worse a regime change is regime destruction.
It just let it fall in the chaos might boil
from Okay, So.

Speaker 20 (02:02:07):
I want to go back to some of the congressman
said a couple of answers ago, which is about the
President Trump, and thank God that he's there as a
president and not one of these other people, because just
in the last few weeks alone, we've had some major
developments in peace in other places around the world thanks
to President Trump. In fact, just today, I believe in
the last couple of days, we've seen the Pakistanis offer

(02:02:29):
up President Trump to win the Nobel Peace Prize for
the war that he averted between India and Pakistan. And
it's thanks to President Trump. I think both sides would
admit that, and his intermediating between the two sides, mediating
between the two sides, that stopped that from spiraling out
of control. And then in addition to that, President Trump
announced last night on True Social that he and Secretary

(02:02:53):
Rubio have been able to negotiate a mediated solution between
Congo and Rwanda in Africa. So these are major conflicts
around the world that President Trump is solving. And so
I think that as the President makes his decision here
and again, I know he's going to make a decision
however he's going to make it. He's the commander in chief.
We elected him for this moment. I think he's just

(02:03:13):
gonna trust his instincts. His instincts are right, Like he
knows that if something feels funny, don't trust these people.
So that's the right questions. He doesn't need to be
pressured in making matter.

Speaker 9 (02:03:25):
We got a couple of minutes if you had him
on the phone, and now we're in the oval, give
me two or three minutes of your advice to President
Trump on this night. Where do you take where do
you recommend he takes it?

Speaker 2 (02:03:34):
From here?

Speaker 24 (02:03:36):
I think President Trump always sees the full maps. So
many of these other leaders have only seen the next step.

Speaker 25 (02:03:45):
President Trump plays chess, not checkers. And what I know
is that President Trump seeks to avoid a circumstance where
tens of millions of war refugees destroy borders, destroy nation states, regimes,
drain resources, eroad investment and opportunity. I mean, President Trump

(02:04:06):
just got four trillion dollars of investment in this part
of the world. He does not want to see it
fall into chaos. And regime change in Iran with no
plan equals chaos. That is an easy formula that if
we know that formula, because President Trump rescued us from
the neo conservative lies of the Bush era, and so

(02:04:29):
there is no plan. Repeatedly, I've had Congressman on my
show from the Foreign Affairs Committee, from the Armed Services
Committee saying zero planning has gone into the day after
the regime falls in Iran. And I think I've laid
it out to the two of you without any pushback
from either of you, that Israel's goal is regime change.

(02:04:49):
And so President Trump has got a lot of headwinds
complex environment. Matt Boyle correctly pointed out where his skills
have really really saved the.

Speaker 9 (02:04:58):
Day in the past, Congressman Gates, how do people get
to the show? How do people get to your Twitter feed?
You've been quite on fire this past week, sir.

Speaker 24 (02:05:09):
I make a show every night on one American News.
It's nine Eastern six specific it's called the Matt Gates Show.
You get our apple on OA and live.

Speaker 25 (02:05:16):
I post a lot of our clips at Matt Gates
and at a n n on on social media.

Speaker 24 (02:05:22):
And again the reason I was calling was to thank you,
Steve Bannon for running the most important leg in this relay.
Everyone's had their part, but you ran the most important leg.
Now President Trump can deliver the victory.

Speaker 9 (02:05:33):
Well, Matt, thank you, But it was you. I mean
it's Tucker, it's you. By the way, you're a producer,
I will say your producer is Bann and training. But
you've got the second best producer in all television in
the back of my own camera. And you've got Vish Burah,
who is a man on fire. Also, you've done such
a magnificent and to be your content this week has
been both eye opening and head turning, and I think

(02:05:54):
that takes real courage, sir, the courage that many many
people don't have, So thank you and go with God.

Speaker 24 (02:06:00):
Thank you, Steve much appreciated a young.

Speaker 9 (02:06:04):
Man who is a leader. Do we miss Gate? I'd
love Pam Bondy, Pam Bondi's I love her. But I
do wish that Matt was the attorney general right.

Speaker 2 (02:06:13):
Maybe we need him back in Congress.

Speaker 9 (02:06:15):
I made no I think President President Trump wrote, hang on.
President Trump tweeted out, right, I don't say it was
actually my lunch for President Trump tweeted out on true
Social that it's time to get a special prosecutor on
top of the stolen election of twenty twenty. Now we
know the CCP is in there, and that would get
into any rate well, and that would get into sixth January,

(02:06:37):
it would get into you know, all of it. I
can't think of a better guy than Matt Gates, can
you not?

Speaker 2 (02:06:43):
Off the top of my head. He's a warrior.

Speaker 9 (02:06:46):
Yeah, that's a good idea. His show is a much
washed show. Also, I mean the contents incredible. Vicious done
a great job. But Matt is a unique personality. Okay,
we got Bratt. Doctor Thayer is with us, Matt Boyle
is in here, is in the world.

Speaker 2 (02:06:58):
Thank you for dropping by. You had a full today.
Really appreciate it. I did. Boy, You know, boys claim
to fame.

Speaker 9 (02:07:03):
He's the only man on God's earth that worked for
in sequence, Uh, Tucker Carlson, Andrew Breitbart, and then Stephen K.

Speaker 2 (02:07:12):
Bannon R.

Speaker 9 (02:07:15):
Tell and as a better man as he tells himself
that I think I'm a better man.

Speaker 2 (02:07:19):
For it, right, I think so. I think so.

Speaker 9 (02:07:21):
In fact, many we had many of those great meetings
right here in this this the Breakebar embassy right here
with Tucker.

Speaker 2 (02:07:27):
And Andrew and Matt Bull all of it.

Speaker 9 (02:07:28):
Okay, short break, we're back on a special. I want
to thank the Real America Voice team for letting us
roll into the evening short break back in a moment.

Speaker 26 (02:07:39):
Room.

Speaker 8 (02:07:39):

Speaker 9 (02:07:41):
Ban I want to thank if we start clipping, because
Matt Gates was dropping one bombshell after another, right there
was or not Gates?

Speaker 2 (02:07:50):
Gates, Gates is on it. I want to go now
to doctor Bradley Thayer.

Speaker 9 (02:07:56):
Doctor Thayer, you're a military historian and strategy You focus
of the Chinese Commis party, but put in perspective where
we are tonight.

Speaker 2 (02:08:04):
Is this getting to be like a.

Speaker 9 (02:08:08):
Cuban missile crisis moment for the President as we roll
through this weekend.

Speaker 27 (02:08:14):
It is, Steven, it certainly has as some of your
guests or in previous days he's argued, it certainly has
an inflection point moment and much is at risk here.
I think three points need to be keeping kept in
mind here, Steve.

Speaker 21 (02:08:28):
First first point.

Speaker 27 (02:08:30):
Is this is a regional war between Israel and Iran,
but it also takes place in the context of a
great power cold war between the CCP and the United States.
So what's going on between Israel and Iran matters greatly
because it's going to impact directly and US actions are

(02:08:51):
going to impact that great power competition with the CCP.
The second point is US interests have to be well
defined here, and it's not we need to go back
to the Weinberger doctrine or later the Powell doctrine right
with an emphasis that there have to be clear, vital
national interests identified and advanced. Importantly, that's significant because we

(02:09:18):
cannot allow the CCP to win this war. The CCPs
on the ropes. Obviously, they're under enormous pressure. Many actions
that President Trump has taken the February twenty fourth Memorandum, Steve,
you'll remember that obviously focusing trying to cut off investment,
taking other measures against the CCP, the obviously the tariffs,

(02:09:43):
other measures that have been taken. So in this conflict,
we cannot allow the CCP to win it. Right, US
has to be clear about what its interests are and
it has to win this conflict not only in the
sense of the regional or the regional war between Israel
and Iran, but in that great power cold war with

(02:10:06):
the Chinese Communist Party. So when we're thinking about that,
the last point, third point is power is the coin
of the realm in the international politics, and power is relative.
It's not just about how much we have, but it's
how much we have in comparison to the CCP. And
so in the course of this conflict, we cannot allow

(02:10:28):
this regional conflict really to damage our regional power, the
relative power that we have with the CCP.

Speaker 9 (02:10:38):
Hang a ball jump in here and bread jumping here,
by the way, and we would get some breaking news.
The House in the Senate are going to get a
classified briefing finally from Tulsi Radfliffe and Raising Kane on
Tuesday when they're all back.

Speaker 20 (02:10:54):
Well, that means they're not calling them back this weekend
to do it tonight, which means we're probably not going
to get a decision tonight.

Speaker 2 (02:11:01):
Would be my guess. This is a pretty good tell
for us, right, I think so.

Speaker 20 (02:11:05):
And I think I look, this is a proper use
of the d n I and the CIA director. They
should be going in to go brief the lawmakers because
the lawmakers make decisions. But the fact is that I
do think that this would signal that there's not some
kind of a rush from the president. He's still you know,
gathering input and listening to people. I always tell this

(02:11:27):
about to people about President Trump, and a lot of
the establishing media people I tell it to to they
laugh at me whatever I say it, But I think
that they're wrong, and because they don't know Trump like
I do. Uh, Trump's best quality, hands down, He's an
incredible listener, big time, right, He's an incredible listener. He
builds in feedback channels so that way he can make

(02:11:48):
decisions better, so that way he listens. He's he's it's
the best quality that he's in the meetings.

Speaker 9 (02:11:55):
When he's having these meetings, he doesn't say a lot.
He lets the he lets you argue your point out.
He kind of ways and measures the combatants there about
the He wants the best idea to win.

Speaker 20 (02:12:05):
Yes, so he's a listener other p and he'll ask
you questions back as well. And he asks great questions
back in response. So I think that you know, getting
the members of Congress the accurate intelligence at Tulsea, gabbartt
and Director Ratcliffe both have that's a good step, right,
Like these are good steps and then maybe the members

(02:12:26):
of Congress can go talk to him about.

Speaker 2 (02:12:28):
It and so on.

Speaker 9 (02:12:30):
And he wants a broad look. Charlie Kirk was at
the White House a lot on on Thursday. On Wednesday
and Thursday, Matt Gaisha said he just could talked to
the present day that he's taking input. He's taking input
from the mega right, He's always looking for input. I
want to go back to the one thing. Are you
saying that we can only this is a regional conflict

(02:12:52):
between the Israelis and the Persians right our third turning
the barrel over there, but that we must view every
action we take in the broader context of the great
power struggle with our mortal enemy, the Chinese Communist Party.

Speaker 2 (02:13:07):
Sir, right.

Speaker 27 (02:13:09):
So this is this event, this regional war, which could
escalate of course to bring in others or escalate vertically
as well, has to be seen in the context of
the defining event of the twenty first century, which is
the battle between the CCP and the United States. So
we need to see obviously how this regional conflict is

(02:13:32):
going to be impacting that. And there are lots of ways.
Matt Boyle was great earlier in the show at really
identifying those, as was General Flynn.

Speaker 21 (02:13:41):
Right, there are a lot of jijinping is dancing in
the street.

Speaker 27 (02:13:44):
Right, if we get involved in this, he's going to
be dancing in the streets if we get sucked into
this war in a way which causes us to lose
the focus, lose the center. As Jim Finnel stresses time
and again, Captain Jim Finel, the Great, Captain Jim Finel stresses,
the CCP is the main thing, and we need to

(02:14:06):
be the main thing, keep the main thing, the main thing,
and focus on that.

Speaker 21 (02:14:10):
And we cannot lose a focus on that.

Speaker 27 (02:14:13):
Yes, you can chew gum and walk at the same time,
that's certainly the case. But this is a cold war
with the CCP and regional wars right are as, as
Weinberger identified Reagan's Defense secretary Cap Weinberg identified in eighty four. Right,

(02:14:35):
there are principles that have to define how we react
to regional conflicts.

Speaker 21 (02:14:40):
Uh, and we need to keep those in mind.

Speaker 9 (02:14:43):
So no, because remember a regional war, a regional war
between the ancient and falling apart Austria Hungary Empire and
the Serbian nationalists that were allies to Russia. They took
a regional war that US had an assassination on the
end of and five weeks later, all the great powers
are at each other's throats and we have the kickoff

(02:15:05):
to really something that's never ended. The First World War
led to the Second World War, that led to the
Cold War, that then led to the Great War and Terror.
And here we are now in another great power struggle
in the twenty first century. And so you got to
watch these regional wars, particularly one, as Matt Gaza said,
you could have twenty Mai. I mean, this makes Syria

(02:15:25):
look like a Sunday afternoon church picnic. I mean this
is this has ninety two million people, It's an ancient civilization.
You start spreading where they're gonna go. They ain't marching
through Syria. They're gonna go to UAE. They're gonna go
to Saudi Arabia. I mean, they're gonna put pressures on
the where all the oil resources are right there in
the Gulf.

Speaker 20 (02:15:45):
So dare I say that the vast majority of people
that are advocating that President Trump should get the United
States involved in this conflict between the Israelis and the Iranians,
They most of them are globe wists who don't like
the President Trump's tariffs. When I was in Greece earlier
this year and I interviewed the prime ministers and right

(02:16:07):
in the aftermath of Liberation Day, and one of the
things I said in the panels I did over there
was that Liberation Day that that moment from President Trump
was like his version of Ronald Wagan's Evil Empire speech
and calling out the Soviet Union. And late, you know,
when it was only a few years later that of
course we finally won, but the globalists kept removing those.

Speaker 2 (02:16:27):
Lines from his speech in the Evil Empire speech time.

Speaker 20 (02:16:31):
Right, So I think that the globalists that are trying
to entangle us in this war in Iran and again,
the President's going to make his decision. I'm not trying
to influence him one way or the other. And I
fully support the President whatever he goes with, and I
think that most of the America First movement will agree
with that. But that being said, the globalists who have

(02:16:52):
been trying to entangle us in another war in the
Middle East, I do not like the teriffs, and they
want China to not be the focus. They like the
status quo of the Second Cold War that we're forty
years into, thirty years into. They don't want to see
the United States winning or frankly trying to win. They
just like the status quo. They don't like this Terris.
They don't like anybody pushing back against it. And I

(02:17:13):
think that that is a big part of what's driving them. Right,
you Gates and there are going next level. I mean,
this is like high high order magatue.

Speaker 2 (02:17:21):
Well, I had to be here on Saturday.

Speaker 9 (02:17:22):
I'll tell you, hey, Bratt, it got a couple of Bratt,
You got a couple of minutes if you were there
in the Oval able to address the president after the meeting,
when he's getting his papers running ready to go up
to the residents you got three minutes or what do
you tell the President the United States?

Speaker 13 (02:17:39):
You know, I agree, Boyle there just said, you know,
it's the globalists, and we all know that's true, and
that's kind of high level thinking. But mister president, the
most powerful force on this earth is the American people,
and you got him. You got him on your side,
and they're particularly located here in Maga, right, And so
people in the past, I differ just a hair with

(02:18:00):
Matt in it. I think most of the people that are
for this are well meaning, but they just have no
idea what this war involves and will entail. They don't
know the history of Iraq and Afghanistan and eight trillion dollars.

Speaker 15 (02:18:13):
But now the Mega crew, if me or Matt or Gates.

Speaker 13 (02:18:17):
Gates just connected some beautiful dots, but you got to
be very sophisticated to understand those dots. But basically, he said,
Israel has a different agenda than the United States does,
and we stopped him at certain points and we got
to get back in the process. And so mister President,
I would not let anyone hijack your agenda. Your tuition

(02:18:40):
has been correct from the get go. No foreign entanglements
it'll slow down your economics. So it'll slow down your trade,
it'll slow down the energy policy.

Speaker 15 (02:18:49):
It'll bring your.

Speaker 13 (02:18:50):
Entire agenda, the big beautiful bill. No one even is
looking at it. We're not improving it, making it better,
pushing it forward. The bond market is all going to
collapse if we spend more trillions on this war.

Speaker 15 (02:19:02):
We will get entangled.

Speaker 13 (02:19:04):
Once you attack, once we bomb, this is Iran's homeland.
They have egos like everyone else has egos, and they
have to save face. If we bomb them and the
story we're at war, they will respond. They will have
to respond, and our boys are sitting right off the coast.

Speaker 15 (02:19:25):
And we will lose young boys.

Speaker 13 (02:19:28):
I know from your comments on Ukraine and Russia that
is your number one concern.

Speaker 15 (02:19:33):
You've said, why am I doing this? I don't have
to do this. Why am I doing this?

Speaker 13 (02:19:37):
I'm doing this because I hate the loss of life.
Because you're a good man, That's why you're doing it.
Same thing applies here, your agenda. In ten years, if
everything went great here, nothing happens.

Speaker 15 (02:19:48):
It's a non story.

Speaker 19 (02:19:49):
Right.

Speaker 13 (02:19:49):
If we achieve peace and you just keep growing the
economy and that's your agenda, that's good news. But if
this thing blows up, that's your agenda. Trump two, The
agenda got blown up because we got sucked into a
war that the American people do not want. Go ask
the American people how many boys are you willing to
sacrifice for this war in this foreign entanglement? And I

(02:20:09):
think the answer is zero. So hold your course. I'm
hoping and praying that's what you do. Inform the American people.
There's all this technical lingo. The CIA is dropping bombs
on you.

Speaker 15 (02:20:21):
By the day.

Speaker 13 (02:20:22):
Oh we got new intelligence of this process going on.
Really well, please explain to that real slope. Why did
it just come now?

Speaker 19 (02:20:30):
Right?

Speaker 15 (02:20:30):
And what process are you talking about? Right?

Speaker 13 (02:20:32):
Draw me a simple eighth grade chart. Where in the
nuclear enrichment process are you talking about? I got to
take out four to zho why?

Speaker 15 (02:20:41):
Right? Why do they have nuclear weapons ready to go?
Because that four dollar things earlier in the process. And
then please explain it to the American people, because your fans,
your mega crew, follows every word you say, and they
are smart people, the American people.

Speaker 13 (02:20:57):
I trust them, You trust them. The war room loves them,
and they love you back. And so, mister President, keep
us out of war and keep us on your full agenda,
which is a plus.

Speaker 9 (02:21:08):
Okay, Dave, hang on for a second. Matt Ball, hang
on for a second. Doctor Thair, hang on for a second.
We got one more segment. I want to thank Real
America's Voice that allowed us to be here three hours.
The party is on. As they said in World War Two,
Who's hosting the party? I think is the question is
it going to be Israel or is it going to
be the United States of America. President Trump is wrestling

(02:21:30):
with that issue at the White House even as we speak.
Short commercial break back in the warm in just a moment.

Speaker 19 (02:21:38):
Or room.

Speaker 8 (02:21:39):
Here's your host, Stephen k Man.

Speaker 9 (02:21:43):
Okay, Matt, As I said, the party is on, it's
who's going to host the party? President Trump answered that question.
Did he not right when I said that? Matt Gates?
Read what happened?

Speaker 2 (02:21:55):
You know you want me to read it? Yeah?

Speaker 26 (02:21:56):
Yeah.

Speaker 20 (02:21:56):
President Trump just announced on true socially, he says, quote,
completed our very successful attack on the three nuclear sites
in Iran, including Ford, oh, Natans and Esfahan. All planes
are now outside of Iran airspace. A full payload of
bombs was dropped on the primary site, Foidoh, all planes
are now safely on their way home. Congratulations to our

(02:22:19):
great American warriors. There's not another military in the world
that could have done this. Now is the time for peace.
Thank you for your attention to this matter. That's the
end of the quote from President Trump. So, yes, the
US United States has this evening attacked Iran. So we
were getting signals, signals they called the wind. They called
the briefing with the Senate and the House leaders next week.

(02:22:41):
That was kind of a smoke screen, if you will.
But then they went and did this. So I imagine
that we're gonna hear from the President and other things.

Speaker 9 (02:22:49):
So it will be a briefing, it will be a
bomb damage assessment. Here's what read that again. Slowly, folks,
we're gonna stick around through this hour. We're gonna take
a break at the top of the hour. We're going
to stick around, and I think Eric Prince Is is
going to join us, as we've just learned that the
United States of America has become a combatant in the

(02:23:10):
what I call the Persian War with an assault on
the on all the nuclear facilities in including FIDA. But
it doesn't look like it was a concentrated Let's continue
to hit bomb after bomb after bomb and take it out.

Speaker 20 (02:23:22):
Correct, He says, quote, I'm gonna just say what the
President says. He says, quote, we have completed our very
successful attack on the three nuclear sites that Iran. By
the way, three nuclear sites is bigger than what we
were talking about.

Speaker 9 (02:23:36):
That means the Israelis had not taken down the first two,
which they said they had were pretty fur down there.

Speaker 20 (02:23:40):
So and then but anyway, the President says that we
have completed our very successful attack on the three nuclear
sites in Iran, including Ford Out and the Tons and
as Fahan.

Speaker 2 (02:23:51):
All planes are now outside of Iran air space.

Speaker 20 (02:23:55):
A full payload of bombs was dropped on the primary site, Florida.
All planes are now safely on their way home. Congratulations
to our great American warriors. There's not another military in
the world that could have done this. Then he says
in all caps, now is the time for peace. Exclamation point.
Then he says, thank you for your attention to this matter.

(02:24:15):
So the fact is is that while the presidents are
going to push for peace, we'll have to see if
there will be any Iranian response, what the response will
look like. What the next stages of this are. Obviously
it's the middle of the night and Iran, so uh,
I don't even know what time it is there.

Speaker 2 (02:24:32):
I have to check. I've been checking.

Speaker 9 (02:24:34):
It's getting getting googling is getting closer. It's getting closer
to done for him, it's getting closer to down there.

Speaker 20 (02:24:40):
Yeah, it's it's it's three about three thirty right now,
and I ran so the the the point is that,
uh the So we'll see, uh, the response from the
Iranians in response to this and what they do next.

Speaker 9 (02:24:52):
Doctor Bradley Thayer, you said, hey, if we get there,
we get there even on a tactical uh limited tactical attack,
this will suckersin as a combatant in a shooting ward. Still,
now that the president has done it, what are your thoughts.

Speaker 27 (02:25:06):
Well, it's clear he's focusing on the counter proliferation, right,
He's focusing on the nuclear aspect, not the regime change.
That to me, that's clear in that truth, which is
very important. So as I read the statement of US interests,
it was to stop the Iranian nuclear program at this time,

(02:25:27):
to arrest it and prevent it ron from a gaining
nuclear weapons, not to advance regime change.

Speaker 21 (02:25:35):
So that's positive.

Speaker 27 (02:25:37):
I think if he's identified that clearly, that's a clearly
defined mission, and it's one that it seems it has
been accomplished. We'll have to see obviously about the assessment,
but that's important. Matt's point about retaliation, I think also
deserves to be noted. But again, this takes place in

(02:25:58):
the context of the Cold War with the Chinese Communist Party,
and everything has got to be seen through that light.
We can't allow China to win this war. We can't
allow the CCP to win this war. Our interests have
to come to the fore and beat triumphant here. So again,
that layering of the Cold War has to be is

(02:26:20):
a very important lens to see all of these events.

Speaker 9 (02:26:22):
Steve, So, just to reiterate Matt, I'll tell you one
more time. Can we read the presidents only if true
socials come out? There's no other We just reported that
Marco Rubio and others, the preferred pathers try to get
a negotiate deals. We've sat at the top of the
show this morning and this evening. One of the issues
President Trump has had is nobody to negotiate with. Right,

(02:26:44):
They've had a very tough time having the Ayatota get
back to anybody. Steve Wikoff and said, hey, we're trying
to negotiate with somebody.

Speaker 2 (02:26:51):
We can't. We've got a couple of minutes to break.

Speaker 9 (02:26:53):
Can you take your time and just read because we
essentially went to war tonite again.

Speaker 20 (02:26:58):
This is what the President says, quote, we have completed
are very successful attack on the three nuclear sites in Iran,
including Ford Out and the Tons and as Fahan. All
planes are now outside of Iran air space. A full
payload of bombs and he puts bombs in all caps
was dropped on the primary site, Ford Oh. All planes

(02:27:20):
are safely on their way home. Congratulations to our great
American warriors. There's not another military in the world that
could have done this. Now is the time for peace.
Thank you for your attention to this matter. So, Steve,
if the President is saying this, this means that when
we've been live here on this show, this has been happening.
We were we kind of had some good instincts here

(02:27:42):
because we were we were literally thinking, yeah, we were
literally thinking this was gonna happen.

Speaker 2 (02:27:47):
Then they started setting out some mixed signals that maybe
it wasn't.

Speaker 9 (02:27:51):
President Trump doesn't do doesn't wind up, although he's wound
up with that.

Speaker 2 (02:27:54):
He pitches from the stretch.

Speaker 9 (02:27:56):
He wants to make sure that you know, it's like Suliman, Okay,
we're gonna leave you with the right stuff. We're gonna
take a couple of minute break at the top of
the hour. We're coming back. We're trying to get Eric Prince,
maybe Jason Miller, Matt Bowle is going to stick around,
Doctor Thayer. Where do people go for your for your
social media and all your content.

Speaker 27 (02:28:12):
Sir Bradley's fair at truth and then get her and
brad fair on X and God's fleet speed obviously to
the military Steve Tonight. Yeah, so you know, there's a
lot obviously it has to come out of that. But
let's hope that everyone is essentially all of our combatants,
all of our servicemen and women are safe.

Speaker 2 (02:28:33):
As God speed tonight.

Speaker 9 (02:28:36):
And it sounds like Dusty, thanks very much, yes, Erman,
thank you, brother Guam, dear YUSIA. Don't know where these
hits came from. Obviously B two's short commercial break. Charlie
Kirk's going to join us, hopefully, Jason Miller's going to
join us. Eric Prince Boyl is going to stick around
all next in the war room.

Speaker 1 (02:29:39):
This is the primal scream of a dying regime.

Speaker 16 (02:29:44):
Pray for our enemies, because we're going to medieval on
these people.

Speaker 1 (02:29:49):
There's not got a free shot.

Speaker 17 (02:29:50):
All these networks lying about the people, the people have
had a.

Speaker 2 (02:29:54):
Belly full of it. I know you don't like hearing that.
I know you've tried to do everything in the.

Speaker 1 (02:29:58):
World to stop that, but you're not going to stop it.
It's going to happen.

Speaker 3 (02:30:00):
big line?

Speaker 4 (02:30:04):
Mega media?

Speaker 5 (02:30:05):

Speaker 6 (02:30:11):
will be saved.

Speaker 2 (02:30:21):
War Room.

Speaker 8 (02:30:22):

Speaker 26 (02:30:24):
Bath.

Speaker 9 (02:30:29):
It's Saturday, twenty one June. You're of a lower twenty
twenty five. Put this down in your diary. A day
in history as the United States engages and enters in
as a combatant in the war between Israel and Persia.
As I said earlier in World War Two, and they
didn't say it as a joyous thing. They said it
as it was ironic. The party is on, whether it's Normandy,

(02:30:51):
whether it's gonna be Market Garden, all of it. We
said today in the morning show, we believe the party
was going to be on who is going to be hosting?

Speaker 2 (02:30:59):
We strongly reckon meant to be the Israelis.

Speaker 9 (02:31:01):
They try to take it down to the final luh,
do the get rid of do it to the final
thing of stopping the nuclear program. Matt Gates, the congressman
joined us a little while ago, said he thought this
was all.

Speaker 2 (02:31:11):
About regime change. Now the United States has entered.

Speaker 9 (02:31:14):
I've got Mappole in the war room, Dave bratsch Ryden
shotgun with me, and Matt Gates joins us again. So,
map between the time you were here in the twenty
minutes you left, we actually did the bombing strike.

Speaker 24 (02:31:25):
Your thoughts, sir, Yeah, I think that it is exactly
what I said. Trump was weighing whether or not this
could be executed Allah the solo Moni mission, and I
think that is the that is the appropriate way to
contextualize the military operation you just witnessed. I don't think

(02:31:46):
this was storming the beaches of Normandy. I think this
was something in Trump's mind that he thinks he can
sort of put in the same echelon of military operation
as taking out Solamani. He stressed in his statement that
this is the time for peace. He was he was
de escalatory in his in his rhetoric as he stressed

(02:32:06):
the safety of the brave Americans who executed this mission.
So I think that Trump hopes that this can reset deterrence,
reset the terms of discussion. But ultimately this what does
this fundamentally change about the war? I don't think that
it means there's going to be sustained US air operations

(02:32:27):
in Iran. President Trump's statement certainly doesn't suggest it will be.
And so then you have to look at what the
Iranian response will be. And I think if they have
any wisdom at all, they will understand that any kinetic
response against US troops assets in the region would be
very escalatory and would result in extreme destruction in Iran

(02:32:51):
and throughout the mid Least and so and so, you know,
you hope that they heed President Trump's call for peace.
But Iran's fundamental capability has never been its intercontinental ballistic
missile program. Iran's capability is that it could activate proxy
forces which have admittedly been degraded by their ongoing conflict

(02:33:13):
with Israel and the United States, but also they're mid
range ballistic missile program and as that plays out in
the skies of Tel Aviv, it still is tragic that
there are apartment complexes that are being hit, there are
civilians that are being killed, and I think that weighs
on President Trump, and it's why the thrust of his

(02:33:35):
statement about this is a call for peace, and if
he's able to achieve it, he will deserve the Nobel
Peace Prize.

Speaker 9 (02:33:43):
Do you think you can actually have a targeted and precise,
tactical hit here that has enough power and back of
it that it actually gets done what you want to
get done and doesn't drag you in work?

Speaker 25 (02:34:00):
You now.

Speaker 24 (02:34:03):
Reporting around? Yeah? Is there reporting around the extent to
which these mountain facilities were penetrated? I sincerely ask.

Speaker 2 (02:34:15):
Matt Gates.

Speaker 9 (02:34:16):
What we like to do is keep your number and
reach out to you if any other developments occur. I
want to thank you for sharing your thoughts and your wisdom,
and there's a lot of wisdom there.

Speaker 2 (02:34:24):
Sir, here in the war room tonight. Thank you, Matt.

Speaker 9 (02:34:28):
What's your social media? I want people to follow you
because you're putting up great stuff. Where do people go?
I might have lost Matt Gates. Let's go and put
it up. Do we have Charlie Kirkbody, Okay, we are
going to John Solomon's going to be up here in
a moment. Charlie kirsh want to join us, Eric Prince,

(02:34:49):
Matt Boyle. We got to wait for the bomb damage assessment.
What actually know if it worked right?

Speaker 3 (02:34:55):
Like?

Speaker 20 (02:34:55):
And we'll find out sooner or later here pretty soon,
I would imagine. I defer to the military experts on
absolutely you know or not that stuff.

Speaker 2 (02:35:02):
I don't know that stuff. But as good as the
we'll get Eric, we'll get a couple of political guy.

Speaker 20 (02:35:09):
I can tell you how Capitol Hill works it out,
DC works, But I defer to the military guys as
is so whether or not this strike was successful. But
I mean, look, we have to figure out it was
the strike successful. Once we figure that out, then we
have to see what the Iranian response is. Maybe the
response is meager and nothing. If that's the case, then
Trump is gonna go down in a very big way.

Speaker 2 (02:35:29):
Okay, a winner? What what is? What? What is?

Speaker 9 (02:35:33):
What is your definition of success? What do you think
President Trump's definition of I think.

Speaker 2 (02:35:38):
They've They've been very clear.

Speaker 20 (02:35:39):
Look, I've talked to President Trump about this many times
over the years before he was president, the first time,
during his first term, in the interim between the two terms,
and during his presidency. Now I've talked to Steve Wikoff
about this. I did a huge interview on camera with
Steve Wikoff a month or so ago at the White House.
The fact of the matter is is that the they,

(02:36:01):
again the President has been extraordinary cleared, they cannot have
a nuclear weapon. They cannot have the means to make
a nuclear weapon. That means no enrichment. So I don't
think we could be any clearer about this, right, So
that's the point. If they succeed in taking out the
means by which they were going to, you know, allegedly
make a nuclear weapon, then the fact is that it

(02:36:22):
would be viewed as a massive success.

Speaker 2 (02:36:24):
So I think the president, uh, you know, and again
I think that the fact.

Speaker 9 (02:36:27):
That in the broader in the in the broader context,
does this engage us in whether he whether President wants
it or not, right forces have does this engage us
now as a combatant into a regional war between Israel
and Iran UH that could expand. And is this does
this go back on his understanding that he said for

(02:36:48):
years decade they can't have a nuclear weapon? Does this
go back on I'm not going to get engaged in
any Middle Eastern forever wars.

Speaker 2 (02:36:55):
I I don't think that it goes back on that
at all.

Speaker 20 (02:36:58):
I think the President has been very very clear about
the threat that Iran represents to the West with the
nuclear Iran would represent. And frankly, the Iranians have been
engaged in attacks against America and stating back decades, So
I think that the President is always putting the America first.
I don't think the President's done anything wrong about that.

(02:37:18):
And I think that the process, this debate that we're
having here on this show tonight is the same process
that was going on in the Oval Office tonight. As
the President made his decision in the situation room, I
would imagine that he will probably went down there.

Speaker 2 (02:37:34):
I don't know if he did or not.

Speaker 20 (02:37:35):
I'm just speculating, but the point is that the and
this is the process that the President's gone through for
the last ten days, and then he's going to continue
to go through because I know that he deeply cares
about where the people are on these things. He always
asked me whenever I see him, he's always asked me,
you know, where's the Breightbart audience at?

Speaker 19 (02:37:54):
On this?

Speaker 20 (02:37:54):
Where's the bright Bart audience? He always wants to know
where the people are at. That's the thing he cares about.
And he's always listening and he's always taking input from
other people. So I think that as we go through
from here, No, I first off, I don't think that
he's violated any campaign pledge. I think, if anything, he's
following through on it and he's finding throwing.

Speaker 2 (02:38:13):
What campaign pledge that he said to rank cannot have
a nuclear weapon.

Speaker 9 (02:38:17):
Was at a higher pledge than the three planks of
our no farm, No Farm.

Speaker 20 (02:38:21):
So he's got right, But he's also be got For
several days lead up to this, he said he doesn't
believe that he's going to entangle us in a larger
work the White House and doing and doing this strike.

Speaker 9 (02:38:33):
Is this more limited than you thought it was, because
at least what it's been described by him, it.

Speaker 2 (02:38:39):
Seems a little bit more expansive than we thought.

Speaker 20 (02:38:41):
What did you because they hit the other facilities right
like because we were just talking about fodoh.

Speaker 2 (02:38:46):
And now they're talking about the other two.

Speaker 9 (02:38:48):
Of course, we don't know if there's multiple bombing runs
or not. We've been all the strike packages we've seen
always said this is what.

Speaker 2 (02:38:54):
The President said. So at this point and truth.

Speaker 9 (02:38:57):
And true, social has crashed social state, because I think
the whole world is going through social right now. Devin Yuniaz.
You may thought it might for nights like night that
you needed more servers. It appears that all the airmen
are out of harm's way, right. President Trump very specifically
gives a hat tip to them and a Bravo Zulu

(02:39:18):
for their performance.

Speaker 2 (02:39:19):
Yeah. Though, that's that's a really good sign.

Speaker 20 (02:39:22):
The first night of this and it's like like I said,
we were talking about before, it's like three thirty in
the morning over there.

Speaker 9 (02:39:27):
Well, the next sign, Dave Brett, I want to go
back to your initial concern and in fact, in your
three minutes where you were trying to tell the president
essentially don't do this right, your warning was the other troops,
the forty or fifty thousand troops in the area.

Speaker 2 (02:39:43):
Days gone. Okay, oh it just got boiled. Okay, fine, cool,
we're cool. Just I was good.

Speaker 9 (02:39:49):
Dave Brat had his big moment here. What about the region?
What about the region? The blowback because these guys.

Speaker 20 (02:39:54):
So it depends on what the response looks like, right like,
and we know that the Iranian rocket launchers have been
taking those out repeatedly, so.

Speaker 2 (02:40:01):
Done a good job on that. Although they've been hit
pretty hard. They have been hit pretty hard. And so
we don't know yet, so like we don't know everything.

Speaker 20 (02:40:09):
By saying we don't know, we don't know, and we
do know this is this is right, This is a
Fogle war and it was actually pretty uh uh.

Speaker 9 (02:40:17):
Well, President Trump just tweeted, let's put true social for
Dow is gone.

Speaker 20 (02:40:21):
Well, if it was successful, then this is this is
gonna go down as a major success for him.

Speaker 9 (02:40:27):
Let's say there's I guess he's not saying that. Somebody's
interpreting what he said. That's why I said, we haven't
seen the bomb damage assessment all the day.

Speaker 20 (02:40:34):
Well, this is the quick and again it's gonna be
I think I think he's linking there By the way,
Charlie Kirchis sent this out and I just he just
sent this to me as well. He says Iran gave
President Trump no choice. This is from Charlie kirk Ran
came President Trump no choice. For a decade he has
been adamant that Iran will never get a nuclear weapon.
Iran decided to forego diplomacy in pursuit of a bomb.

(02:40:58):
This is a surgical strike operated perfectly. President Trump acted
with prudence and decisiveness. Look at that right there, he's
just reposted on truth. President Trump for Dow is gone.

Speaker 2 (02:41:10):
Yeah, ends up being true. That's gonna be that's a
that's a big. That's a big, it's gonna be big.
So like again, we don't know what we don't know,
we do know what we do know.

Speaker 20 (02:41:20):
The one thing I would say is is that this
is just a definite, major escalation. The United States has
taken a huge step here with President Trump. But I
think the President was deliberate and thoughtful about it before
he did it. I think that any other American president
would have jumped into this, at least of the last

(02:41:42):
thirty years, right either of the Bushes, Clinton, Obama, Biden,
anyone dating back to Ragan, I think would have just
without questioning it at all, would have just jumped right in.
And I think President Trump showing in thoughtful deliberation before
he made this decision shows why I think a lot
of America first, it's why we elected him, right like, so,

(02:42:04):
I think this is a huge moment for the president
and how he handles the steps from here are going
to define his legacy in a big way, right Like,
does he stay true?

Speaker 2 (02:42:12):
Continue to stay true?

Speaker 20 (02:42:13):
Because I think this does stay true to that third plank,
along with traded immigration, of those campaign pledges limited.

Speaker 2 (02:42:21):
Do not get engaged in a question that's there in
lies the question we don't know yet.

Speaker 9 (02:42:26):
But the central part of that is how prepared A
big part of is how prepared we are for a
counter hit by the Iranians right on troops on a
straight sort of moves. Look, they may be so, they
may be so decapitated you don't get a big response.
I'm sure his intelligence assessment walk that through. We're trying
to get up, Charlie Kirk, we are trying to get up.
John Solomon is going to join us.

Speaker 13 (02:42:47):
Uh.

Speaker 9 (02:42:47):
We had Dave Bratt by the way we got There
are definitely some people in Maga that are not exactly
aesthetic about this. A lot of people are because some
people are saying Hey, he lived up to this pledge
and not to let the Iranians heavy nuclear program. Although
we have to get the bomb damage assessment. Definitely a
military strike did take place. We're gonna take a We're

(02:43:09):
gonna take a short commercial break, hopefully John Solomon on
the other side. We got Jack Pasobic on the other side,
possibly Eric Prince. But writing's shotgun with me is Matt Boyle.
Thank you for coming into that.

Speaker 13 (02:43:21):
Man.

Speaker 9 (02:43:21):
I told you something. Hey, can I tell you something?
I told boys? And get over here.

Speaker 2 (02:43:25):
Something's gonna happen. This morning. We talked this morning. Both
of us were like, something's having it.

Speaker 9 (02:43:29):
We do We talked to Rob Sig and Rob six
said let's do five to seven, and then we said, well,
let's can we get another hour.

Speaker 2 (02:43:36):
Let's go seven to eight.

Speaker 9 (02:43:37):
And now we're gonna Now we're in the eight o'clock
hour right now, okay, h Historic night in the White House,
Historic night in the Imperial Capital. President Trump pulls the
trigger a military strike on the nuclear the nuclear I
guess in Richmond sites and bomb making sites, all three
of them. It looks like by air assets, I guess

(02:43:58):
coming through Guam or see all of it. Uh and
more information we get, we'll pass along short commercial break.
Johnny Conn will take us out and we'll be back
in a moment.

Speaker 23 (02:44:08):
Just you say, look inside, thank you say this already
you win in.

Speaker 4 (02:44:20):
Lost jow pride.

Speaker 10 (02:44:22):
But I'm American, Mabe, I got America. I got American babe.

Speaker 8 (02:44:35):
In America's here's your host, Stephen k back.

Speaker 2 (02:44:43):
Okay, welcome back. Announcement.

Speaker 9 (02:44:44):
The President of the United States is going to address
the nation from the White House at at ten pm.
We will stick around for that. Obviously, do we have
John Solomon yet? I think John's trying to come in.
John Solomon's trying to join us. The up up up up.

Speaker 2 (02:45:06):
There.

Speaker 27 (02:45:06):
You know.

Speaker 9 (02:45:07):
The President's got to, you know, make the address. I
also think he's got to talk to Macca. There are
a lot of MAGA that's not happy about this. I'll
just be blunt. We can tell this in the chats
right now. There there are a lot of the chats
that are just saying, hey, I hear you, but you
know you promise you wouldn't do this. I hear your thing.
And maybe they didn't negotiate. So I do think, as
I said, I believe he will get Maga on board
all of it, but he's got.

Speaker 2 (02:45:28):
To explain exactly and go through this.

Speaker 9 (02:45:30):
And remember I said today the party is on using
that World War two phrase who's going to host it?
And early in the evening we were we were hoping
and working with people and saying, hey, maybe Israel is
going to step up here.

Speaker 2 (02:45:44):
I think a big question is going to be why.

Speaker 9 (02:45:47):
Israel did I take the lead and do this, because
right now this is back to the United States. And
I understand maybe we could get four dou but I
think that's got to be explained. Israel did not finish
what they started. That's the bottom line. And I'm telling
you a lot lot of people I know that are
Israel supporters, are going to say, why are we doing
the heavy lift here? And why are we engaging in
combat operations in a in a war that's a war

(02:46:09):
of choice.

Speaker 2 (02:46:10):
Sure, by the way, myself included.

Speaker 20 (02:46:13):
And in the at the same time that the the
other side may come back and say on this, the
very pro Israel side, well, the Israel doesn't have the
capabilities to do what we just did, which is true
as well so the but that being said, the United
States just just got engaged in this in this thing,
and Trump is gonna have to communicate this this speech

(02:46:33):
that he's going to give it ten o'clock tonight. He
said just now in a follow up message on True
Social that he's going to address the nation at ten
o'clock from the White House. So much for that LID.
By the way, I remember we were talking about this
when they called it later. I was like, you know,
that's always a head thing, right, they'll.

Speaker 2 (02:46:49):
Call the laden. That would be a great time to
do it, Biden.

Speaker 9 (02:46:53):
Biden used to call the four o'clock in the afternoon,
So you go take a nap again. Second nap you said,
you said the're going to have the little bullet ice
cream and the peaches, the mass speeches. When you said
that they're going to LID, I said, well, that's when
President gets goes and calls two hundred reporters, right, he
works the phones, right right.

Speaker 20 (02:47:10):
No, But that's the thing is that it was a
siddened to me the fact that they were so clear
about this and so open like they were. There were
a lot of head fakes that were going on, and
the thing that made me start to think those things
had started earlier in the day.

Speaker 2 (02:47:25):
But I do think that.

Speaker 20 (02:47:26):
The communication staff, and I think that the military and
intelligence folks were deliberately trying to send these head fakes
to the media because I don't think they liked the
fact that the media was so ways of focused on
this question for the last ten days of will he
won't he? But but I do think that it also
showed the nation just how deliberative the president was. So

(02:47:47):
I think that when the President speaks tonight, he's going
to have to be very clear with the American public
about that deliberative process and what he went through, who
we listened to, why he made this decision.

Speaker 2 (02:48:00):
And where things go from here.

Speaker 20 (02:48:02):
He's going to lay out some very clear objectives, uh
and uh, clear parameters and what to expect and what
not to expect.

Speaker 2 (02:48:11):
And I think that people don't like uncertainty.

Speaker 20 (02:48:14):
So this happening on a Saturday night, The markets aren't
open again until next week, so you won't really see
market reaction until Monday, which is a good thing. But
I do think that the the public wants certainty, and
I think that the Mega movement wants certainty, The America
First movement wants certainty. So I think the President, who

(02:48:36):
is an excellent communicator. We've seen him do this how
many times now, right is incredible at giving addresses. So
when we see the President come out tonight at ten o'clock,
we're all going to be looking for uh, you know
those things. What what is he going to be able
to do in terms of providing certainty, clarity, uh and
also walking through his decision making process. I think telling

(02:48:58):
the public about how deliberative and thoughtful he was, that
he isn't just flippant with a military decision or a
grave decision like this. This is a huge decision, right
deciding to commit American military resources. This is a life
and death decision that President Trump just made. These are
matters of war and peace, right like. And I think
that as the President addresses the public, he needs to

(02:49:20):
communicate just how serious he takes it, because I know
that he does, right like, and I know that you know,
anybody that knows him well, I know you know him well, Steve,
a lot of the other folks here in the worm
Posse know him very well.

Speaker 2 (02:49:33):
Like.

Speaker 20 (02:49:33):
The fact is, I know he is very deliberative on this,
and I think that capturing that in those remarks and
explaining to people, you know, because he knows how heated
this debate got in this movement, right, Like, this debate
got very heated. You had, you know, people on one side,
like a Mark Levan really aggressively advocating for things, and
you added people on the other side, like a Tucker

(02:49:54):
really aggressively advocating against it.

Speaker 2 (02:49:57):
He's got to.

Speaker 20 (02:49:57):
Win this movement over and bring them with him and
take proactive steps to do that.

Speaker 4 (02:50:03):
Now.

Speaker 20 (02:50:03):
I think he can easily do that because he is
clearly the leader of this movement and he commands a
lot of respect. I think that President Trump has earned
a lot of that respect too, after everything he's been through.
But because of the the fact that the president you know,
because of the fact and it's not even his fault,
it's the fault of people like Bush and Obama and Clinton,

(02:50:25):
you know, and Biden, you know, even though or whoever
was controlling the Auto pen at the time and the
Biden presidency. Uh, the the lack of trust that these
globalist losers of both political parties have sown across the
United States with average Americans. I think President Trump it's

(02:50:46):
sad that he has to do this because he shouldn't
have to, because he hasn't he hasn't committed these offenses
that these globalists have, but he's got to win that
trust back from peoples.

Speaker 9 (02:50:56):
I think in the beginning tonight with the explanation, I
think the one of the most important explanations. I think
one of the most important things he has to or
he should. I shouldn't say he has to he should,
is why did we not give time for Israel take
a crack? Here bb Net who told the New York Post,
we will do it. Uh, there was word out that

(02:51:17):
that you know, uh, they were they were not going
to wait the two weeks that you know this was
it like they're dictating to us again. The Wall Street
journalist reporting Markoor Ruby is telling guys in Europe that
President Trump's preferred path is a negotiation. Now, the way
President Trump is talking, it looks like he's using this
as coercive diplomacy. He's telling the radius, let's get back

(02:51:37):
to the table, right, let's get it. I think he
just said, let's get a deal done. Is that what is?
He says he wants peace, right like? And they put
that in all caps that in bombs were in all
caps in trans social right like. So, But the fact is,
I love about these things. Is that new phrases guy,
which I think is genius.

Speaker 2 (02:51:53):
Thank you. Oh, it's a running I love that.

Speaker 20 (02:51:58):
It's it's my favorite, my most favorite Trump.

Speaker 9 (02:52:01):
It's like you're getting a letter from d MV right,
thank you for your attention to this matter.

Speaker 2 (02:52:05):
Right, It's the best.

Speaker 20 (02:52:07):
It's a he at all seriousness. Though he wants peace.
I know that he wants peace. He doesn't want to
go into war, and I think that he needs to
make sure that that is really clearly communicated when he
speaks to the public tonight. So because I know that's
where his heart of hearts is right, like he really questioned.
In fact, I always tell people that he won the
twenty sixteen election. The moment he won the election, not

(02:52:30):
just the primary but the general election too, was there
was a debate in South Carolina in the Republican primary,
and there was Jeb Bush was still in the race.

Speaker 2 (02:52:38):
Oh, I mean the.

Speaker 9 (02:52:39):
First Republican by the way, John Salmon's looking for a
zoom hookup.

Speaker 2 (02:52:43):
If you guys can take care of that, go ahead.

Speaker 20 (02:52:45):
And in this this debate in South Carolina was in
the primary, Jeb Bush was on the stage, but he
brought his brother, George, the former president with him and
Trump addressed he dressed down the Bushes and what they
did in direct war and in this South Carolina today
was a gasp in the honest because George Bush was there.
George Bush was there, and it was shocking to see
this from a Republican debate stage. And I think that

(02:53:07):
moment won him not just the Republican nomination for president
in twenty sixteen, but the presidency as well the general election.

Speaker 9 (02:53:16):
Okay, so hang on, So some of his most loyal
followers tonight we can tell him. The chick agree are saying,
hang on, I want where's that guy? Because that guy
basically ready he rode the power with calling the Bushes
out no more forever, wars in here, right in getting
involved in combat operations, even in a surgical strike. Can

(02:53:37):
you back off and tell the Persians, Hey, with just
one time, we're out deal with the Israelis.

Speaker 2 (02:53:42):
It's no regime change.

Speaker 20 (02:53:44):
Well, this is the challenge of what he's going to
face in his remarks this evening. It's the challenge in
what happens next over the course of the next several
days and weeks ahead of us. Does this spiral out
of control or does it you know, does it continue
to escalate or not. I will say President Trump, I
have long said, is the luckiest man alive for a

(02:54:05):
number of reasons.

Speaker 2 (02:54:06):
I've been saying that you make your luck though right,
it is very true.

Speaker 20 (02:54:10):
And then by the way, he's a perfect case of
this where he makes his luck.

Speaker 2 (02:54:14):
I've been seeing this for years before he.

Speaker 20 (02:54:16):
Was even shot and survived it, shot in the head
and survived it.

Speaker 2 (02:54:19):
By the way, So if people that.

Speaker 20 (02:54:22):
Know me, I've been talking about President Trump like this,
he I called him the luckiest man alive. I've always
called him this, and the reason why is because of
the exactly what you just said, you make your luck.

Speaker 2 (02:54:31):
And I think that President.

Speaker 20 (02:54:32):
Trump can can mold these circumstances moving forward to keep
the United States out of a long drawn out, prolonged
conflict here. If he can do that, and he can
force the Iranians to the table, which by the way,
he'd be the only person that it would just be
an absolutely incredible coup of a diplomatic and leadership victory
if he's able to do that.

Speaker 2 (02:54:53):
But the fact is is that.

Speaker 20 (02:54:54):
You know, he has a major challenge ahead of him,
and we're gonna see the first bits of it tonight
with this address. This is why speech to night at
Ted I think is so important for him. He is
he has a huge task ahead of he.

Speaker 9 (02:55:05):
Has not been. He's not been. He's not a fan
of doing addresses from the Oval Office. That has been
something he has not He's always said he doesn't like
Now he's been a master, and I'm not saying the
one he's done has been good. I think they've all
been great, but I know he's not a fan of it.
He is a master of the press of Vail. He
just invite the President. Of course, the first team is

(02:55:27):
is not except for Ben and Boyle, Solomon and Bratt
are the first team.

Speaker 2 (02:55:30):
We're not working night.

Speaker 9 (02:55:31):
We're gonna take a short commercial break here in Real
America's voice, the President and United States at ten pm
Eastern daylight time on Saturday, the twenty first of June,
in the Year of the Lord twenty twenty five, will
address the nation, as we have now become a combatant
in this war between Israel and the Persians.

Speaker 2 (02:55:50):
I guess you say it's now a broader war.

Speaker 9 (02:55:53):
Although those like the President trying to keep this to
a very tactical strike. John Solomon's going to join us next.
Dave bradis here. Short commercial break back in a moment.

Speaker 8 (02:56:03):
You gotta be.

Speaker 2 (02:56:12):
Your mind, no times mind, how many your mind you say,
Marina mind, how you.

Speaker 23 (02:56:25):
Mind to find you?

Speaker 4 (02:56:27):
So listen.

Speaker 8 (02:56:37):
Here's your host, Stephen K. B.

Speaker 2 (02:56:43):
Welcome back, where I go to Real America's voice John Solomon.
John joins us. John. In thirty minutes, We're gonna.

Speaker 9 (02:56:49):
Have a We're gonna have a address to the nation
by the President United State.

Speaker 2 (02:56:53):
It's about the military activity night. Give us your thoughts.

Speaker 26 (02:56:58):
Well, we entered the war now, and though it's a
limited strike, it opens Iran up to wanting to attack
US back, either through cyber terrorism or through traditional means.
So I'll have to see what the answer is. But
I was struck by three things. One, it was pretty
obviously was going to happen today when the President avoided
the cameras going into his sitting room meeting a little

(02:57:20):
bit ago, a few hours ago. He almost never avoids
the camera, so you knew something big was Obviously, the
B twos had been deployed earlier in the day, and
tonight I think you will hear him say this was
a limited strike and it's time for peace. And I
think even in the last sentence of his social post

(02:57:41):
he said it time for peace, It's time to make
a deal. I think President Trump's goal all along was
to have a limited participation in this, make sure that
all three of those nuclear sites are inoperable and anything
in them is blown to smithereens, and then go back
to the table and try to get a deal. And
if Iron doesn't, and I think the president will Israel
carry out the rest of these hot bombings until there's

(02:58:04):
regime change in Iran.

Speaker 9 (02:58:08):
Walk us through your understanding of the strike and the
strike package. I mean, it seems expansive in the fact
that he went to other nuclear facilities, which I'm kind
of surprised that because I thought the Israelis had those,
and then it didn't seem I mean, it gave very
limited information, but it didn't seem the intensity of what
some people John you and I had actually talked about.

(02:58:29):
You might need multiple runs over for Door to actually take,
for Dell to take it down.

Speaker 2 (02:58:34):
Your thoughts on the strike package. At least what President
Trump's told.

Speaker 26 (02:58:37):
Us, I think at least three B two bombers dropped
on Florida. That is an awful lot of ammunition. That's
the homosse equipment of a small nuclear.

Speaker 18 (02:58:46):
Bomb in terms of its incredible implosion capabilities, and the
early satellite imagery i'm told shows a complete destruction of
that zone.

Speaker 26 (02:58:58):
So that's Florida. And then there was the that was
always expected. I think the surprise one is the third one.
It's called I don't want to mess up the name here,
but it's called is Hofan, and it was the place
where the very sensitive work of putting the taking uranium
from the state that Iran had enriched it and turning
it into a metallic sort of capability that can be

(02:59:20):
put on top of a warhead. Striking that one may
have been a little bit of a surprise to people.
We must have had intel that some of the nuclear
materials were still there, and rather than take a risk
or allow Iron to move them, we hit that one.
So I think the third one was the trickiest, also
the least expected. I think it's Hans and Porteau were

(02:59:42):
expected to be struck, and I'm told the three planes
that struck Porto left quite a crater, turned a monitor
into a crater.

Speaker 9 (02:59:51):
Why were you surprised that Israel didn't take a crack
at this first. I mean, I think one of the
reasons that and there are I would tell you a
lot go in the chats. There's a lot of upset people, right,
some people saying President Trump did what he had to do.
But there's a lot of people that are quite upset
in the Mega movement. Why do you think Israel did
not lead this raid?

Speaker 26 (03:00:13):
Probably because their planes couldn't drop the sort of bunker
buster that would make a difference. And the last thing
you want to do is strike Iran and not be
able to take out the facility. So you know, the
truth of the matter is Israel has known from the beginning,
even when it started this war, that its planes would
never be able to get at least take out Fordo.
It's just too fortified and too deep in the ground

(03:00:33):
with a big mountain sitting on top of it. America
was the only option to do that. We're the only
one of the capability of this bomb. And rather than
take a half hearted attempt and give the Iranians propaganda
or give them time to move packages or people, I
think the President decided he would do this. It would
be on his terms. I think the Iranians were thinking

(03:00:56):
they had a couple of weeks. They had a couple
of days, it turned out. And I think the final
decision to go today was driven by the rhetoric out
of Iran the last twenty four hours. They have not
signaled any desire for peace or negotiation or meaningful engagement,
and so why waste any more time. I think that
was the president's thinking.

Speaker 9 (03:01:16):
You know, we knew Whitkof had a tough time, even
told the Europeans that they couldn't you find out who
was in charge to have a meeting. Of course, the
rhetoric only only heated up a couple of things. John,
Before we let you go, I want the assessment of,
you know, the strike back of the Persians around the region,
both in Iraq where we have troops, the naval assets,

(03:01:36):
we have Persian golf even hitting back maybe at server
our allies. What's your assessment of that, because that's going
to set the table escalatory or not.

Speaker 4 (03:01:46):
Yeah.

Speaker 26 (03:01:47):
I think the place that we need to be most
on alert, most vigilant about is on our own soil
with activated hesbo sels. While all Kainda has always captured
our attention in America because of the horrific nine of
life of an attack. Hezbola are much more professional. They
are the best terrorists in the world, sadly, and they've
had sleeper sales on our soil that we've known about,

(03:02:09):
and god knows what they swept into the country. It
would have been during Joe Biden's ears. It would have
been a lack of diligence for Iran not to take
advantage of the open border, so we don't know who's here.
I think the second thing that we will be watching for,
according to my US intelligence sources, is some sort of
cyber attack aiming for the grid or satellites, and then

(03:02:31):
the third strike would be striking something our in the
Middle East region, in the Persian region. I think Iran
is going to be hard pressed. They are trying to
reserve all of their missiles for Israel, so striking troops
there and probably won't be in the top options for them.
I think they want to create some shock, awe and

(03:02:53):
terror in American's minds to turn the American public against
the president on this. So I would be watching for
non conventional, non traditional warfare in the next seventy two hours.

Speaker 2 (03:03:06):
About BB sins they didn't take.

Speaker 9 (03:03:09):
They weren't involved in actually the pass tonight to shut
down the nuclear weaponization and Richmond. Their goal has obviously
been regime change. How do you think that plays in?
Do you think President Trump has backed.

Speaker 2 (03:03:21):
Him off that?

Speaker 9 (03:03:22):
And that may be a sinequon non of his getting
involved with this level. I mean, do you have any
thoughts on that?

Speaker 26 (03:03:28):
I get the sense, and again that's from talking to
both Israelis and Americans, that the President has given wide
latitude to let Nyahu waige the sort of war that
he wants to for what he thinks is best in
Israel's interest. Israel stands much closer to the danger of
a nuclear missile and other armaments than we do, and

(03:03:51):
I think the President gave some deference there. I would
not be surprised if this strike tonight is followed up
by a decapitation strike by Israel aimed at trying to
take out the political leadership. The military leadership is extraordinarily decimated.
Iran has been chaos. Some of their plans for Iranian missiles,

(03:04:11):
based on our intercepts, they didn't go according to plan
because they literally don't have senior officials able to make
the call. So some of their missile launches, what they
thought they were doing in Iran and what actually got launched,
we're a little off, which tells our American intelligence that
Iran is disorganized, that those decapitation strikes and the military
leadership have had some operational effect. I would not be

(03:04:34):
surprised if Israel decides to take it to capitation strike
against the leadership, whether it's the Ayahtola. My sense of
it is that the President is giving bb nit Yahoo
whatever latitude he needs to finish the job. At this point,
nobody effects Iran to make a deal, although the President
will keep pursuing that, and I think the alternative now

(03:04:55):
is for Israel to finish the job is I think
what a lot of people are thinking. Again, this is
a dangerous situation. It's why a large part of Maggot
has the concerns that it does about war and picking
a fight with Iran, specifically because of their asymmetrical warfare,
their terror warfare. So we're going to have to be
on a high alert for a while and see what

(03:05:16):
comes next in this process. But my understanding at least
is what the President set out to do today limited
strike to blow up three significant nuclear facilities. The military assessment,
at least from satellites, is it achieved the missions.

Speaker 2 (03:05:32):
John, Hey, I have a little bit of news.

Speaker 20 (03:05:35):
This is a statement from the chairman of the Senate
Foreign Relations Committee, Senator Jim Rish. And this guy is
not the biggest like mag I murder first guy in
the world. But there's a couple of things that are
in it that are actually particularly revealing to me. He says, quote,
among other things, by the way he talks to praises Trump, etc.

Speaker 2 (03:05:52):
But then later in the statement he says, quote, this
war is Israel's war, not our war.

Speaker 20 (03:05:58):
But Israel is one of our strongest allies, and his
disarming Iran.

Speaker 2 (03:06:02):
For the good of the world.

Speaker 20 (03:06:03):
I've also always said that Israel would not allow Ran
to have nuclear weapons. And he goes on and on
about Israel there for another couple of sentences, but then
he goes to quote this is after another paragraph praising
President Trump, says quote, this is not the start of
a forever war. Again, this is Senator Jim Rish, the

(03:06:24):
chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee. He says, quote,
there will not be American boots on the ground in Iran.
This was a precise, limited strike, which was necessary and
by all accounts, was very successful. As President Trump has stated,
now is the time for peace. So if you're hearing
that kind of a thing from Senator Jim rish who's

(03:06:45):
like not the most Maga America first guy in the world,
he's a decent Republican guy from Idaho. But that's a
good sign. I think that this may.

Speaker 9 (03:06:54):
Work for he knows that the Idaho MAGA group out
there doesn't.

Speaker 2 (03:06:58):
John Solomon, how do you interpret that?

Speaker 4 (03:07:01):
Listen.

Speaker 26 (03:07:02):
I think there is a messaging discipline among all of
the Republicans, and I think it's a good thing. It
emanates from the President's leadership. President has been clear I
might do this, but it is limited and it has
a sole intention. This is Israel's war. Otherwise, in that process,
he also is giving Israel the latitude to conduct the
war they think that they think they need to carry out.

(03:07:23):
I think this dynamic change is if Iran is able
to strike Americans somewhere in the West, if there's an
asymmetrical attack or a cyber attack, that will be what
all of our country will be watching for our top intelligence.

Speaker 9 (03:07:35):
But isn't that the issue? Isn't that the issue and
the issue really of MAGA. When you say give them
the latitude, they essentially forced President Trump's sand I mean
they started a war a week ago that they couldn't
do what President Trump did tonight.

Speaker 2 (03:07:49):
They didn't have the capability.

Speaker 9 (03:07:51):
And here the United States, where an overwhelming majority of
the people don't want to get involved in any of this,
now we're involved. I realize a limit to strike. Limited
strike to say, tell those guys, particularly since they jerked
him around here in the last seventy two hours, that
their rhetoric has been the exact opposite. I agree of
anybody you thought would get a deal done, John, But

(03:08:14):
do you think that this puts more pressure like Ris
says that, I just puts more pressure for us to
tell Israel, Hey, it's your war.

Speaker 2 (03:08:20):
If you're going to decapitate them, you own it.

Speaker 26 (03:08:23):
My reporting is that the President was in on this
from the beginning. He let Israel decide when to do it,
but he never told them he would be to it
or stop it. And he became as concerned as Israel
did when this new intelligence came that the ability or
the completion of getting the nuclear materials to a state
that then could be turned into a nuclear weapon in

(03:08:45):
several weeks or months was a threshold that had always
been in President Trump's back of his mind. I have
had these since Tuesday or Wednesday that the President was
going to do this on Saturday, from my reporting, But
I don't think the president listen at the President to
stop this. He could have stopped it, Israel would have
towed the line. I think there were weeks of planning.

(03:09:05):
I think the President gave explicit and implicit approval for
Israel to do what it is. So it's not just
Israel's more in the sense that the President knew what
was going to happen, and then the President partook in
the small part that he knew only America could accomplish,
and that is to implode these nuclear sites. But I
don't get the sense that Donald Trump got forced into

(03:09:26):
this and he's just cleaning up Israel's mess. This has
been far more coordinated than most of the reporting and
some of the head fakes, and there's a lot of
head faking going on. Donald Trump is a fantastic poker player.
This two week thing he was announcing on Friday, it
was all to throw the Iranians off, And I think
his plan was to this one two punch was probably

(03:09:47):
where Donald Trump was three or four weeks ago.

Speaker 9 (03:09:49):
From my reporting, John Solomon, where do people go on
social media this weekend to get you before the show's
back on it?

Speaker 26 (03:09:56):
Yeah, Jay Solomon reports on social media justinews dot com.
It's always great to be on at the Great Matt
Will He's an amazing reporter.

Speaker 9 (03:10:03):
Sir, Thank you very much, thank you for joining us tonight.
We're getting ready for the president. I say, short commercial break.
Dave Brat's with us, Matt Bowl's with us. The President's
gonna address the nation here in about ten fifteen minutes.

Speaker 2 (03:10:15):
We're gonna take a short break. Feed back in a moment.

Speaker 4 (03:10:18):
It's all started.

Speaker 26 (03:10:20):
Everything speaker, if you walk hold, let's well take it down.

Speaker 4 (03:10:26):
Let's say said.

Speaker 2 (03:10:28):
For the world, will do hot coom. We will fight
till the lot cod were literally swim.

Speaker 8 (03:10:36):
Here's your host, Stephen k Math.

Speaker 2 (03:10:40):
Okay, we're back here. By the way, I only got
it an hour off. I'm not doing the strike packages.
We're gonna because I got ball myself. We have a
very thin staff.

Speaker 9 (03:10:50):
At nine o'clock, we're gonna we're gonna take a break,
right probably come back on nine thirty nine for a five.
We will be here for the President's Addressed to the
Nation and then follow on analysis, et cetera. But I
think it's come upon us to work the phones for
a Let's get to work the phones and finally get
some more detail backup about what's going on. The so

(03:11:15):
tremendous look President of the United States Night made probably
the biggest and boldest move of his first or second term.

Speaker 2 (03:11:22):
Right.

Speaker 9 (03:11:23):
Sure, what he doesn't want to do is get dragged
in this thing, as we talked about earlier, so that
it overwhelms his presidency because we still got the we
still got to we still have to. You know, we've
got ten million illegal alien invaders to repel.

Speaker 2 (03:11:40):
Right, so i'll.

Speaker 9 (03:11:43):
Take this to week twenty. Let's just start give me,
let's start with ten. President makes a really a you know,
Abraham Lincoln type. Because you now are part of this war.
You may say, I'm limiting this war. I'm not going
to get involved in it. I'm not part of Israel's
regime change incrementalism.

Speaker 2 (03:12:02):
You're gonna have to fight.

Speaker 9 (03:12:02):
He's gonna be huge pressure by the Mark Levin and
Nicky Haley and that crowd, Lindsey Graham to do more right.
So we got to get the bomb of damage assessment
from this, I got brat, Dave Bratt, you want to
give some closing thoughts. Like I said at nine, we're
gonna come back for the President's address, maybe even a
little early here in real America's voice as we get

(03:12:26):
sorted on this huge night to night. The President made
a decision to have a limited strike to take out
the nuclear facilities. We don't have full bomb damage, but
we understand there's some video coming in that shows the
place on fire, also some aerials that may show the
place destroyed. We don't know the depths of the destruction
they have. President Trump says it's done. Dave Bratt, you

(03:12:46):
gave the recommendations to the president even as it was
happening on the show that you didn't know that was
to watch, was to make sure that he thought through
the second and tertiary. Uh you know results here what
the Ranians could do. Your thoughts now, sir, Yeah, Well.

Speaker 15 (03:13:03):
I agree with Matt.

Speaker 13 (03:13:05):
He's got to come out and he's got a high
hurdle in front of him as far as mag is concerned.
He's the commander in chief, so he knows all the
dots that are connected that led to his decision. The
good news for MAGA and the American people is that
Trump has always been the most transparent president, imaginable.

Speaker 15 (03:13:26):
He just comes out to the.

Speaker 13 (03:13:27):
Sticks and so I think he's going to give us
the full rundown. But that said, in the reporting from
Matt and John, a couple connected dot moments. Number one,
if Israel goes forward with decapitation of the leadership and
the Ayatolah et cetera, which was pointed out. Then secondly,

(03:13:50):
John just said he's seen a lot of coordination between
President Trump and Israel, and Iran is watching this, so
this this is very difficult terrain.

Speaker 15 (03:14:04):
Right, let me let me just repeat that.

Speaker 13 (03:14:05):
If the if Israel goes forward and decapitates Iran's leadership
and we bombed them, and it comes out through reporting
that Trump was very highly coordinated, then you know we
got we got some work to do. The good news
is that President Trump now took the lead with that news, right.

Speaker 15 (03:14:25):
He said, he's re.

Speaker 13 (03:14:27):
Established that the US is in front of it. We
helped out, but now we're after peace. So I think
the USA is now in the lead Trump took the
lead from Israel.

Speaker 15 (03:14:39):
With that statement, and I think that's needed.

Speaker 13 (03:14:42):
I'm all in favor of Israel taking out the bad guys.

Speaker 15 (03:14:45):
Amen alalujah a. Political views are my own.

Speaker 1 (03:14:48):
Uh.

Speaker 13 (03:14:49):
And then the threat to President Trump himself, the FBI
and the CIA. When Matt Boyle's talking about the you know,
the the speech that.

Speaker 15 (03:15:00):
Trump has to give.

Speaker 13 (03:15:03):
The megabase is very very skeptical, beyond skeptical. We have
receipts now right on the FBI and the CIA their
action behaviors over the past years. So they're giving intelligence
at the last minute. We want to hear a story
that really makes sense there. And then the FBI, for
the sake of President Trump's own life, the FBI and

(03:15:27):
the CIA Autowa update, the most serious threats to America
is not traditional Catholics anymore. Right, It's not global warming,
it's not white Presbyterians.

Speaker 15 (03:15:41):
Right. And this is I'm deadly serious on this right.
This stuff was at the front.

Speaker 13 (03:15:47):
It was the thesis statements in many of our agencies
at the highest level of government.

Speaker 15 (03:15:53):
And that's what I say. It's going to take a
while to turn to ship around. Now.

Speaker 13 (03:15:56):
All the secretaries under Trump are going to have to
be re establishing these protocols and getting them right.

Speaker 15 (03:16:02):
They're up to it.

Speaker 13 (03:16:03):
We got great people in these slots, but the megabase
really wants to hear a lot of dots connected on
the issues that I just went over.

Speaker 9 (03:16:15):
Uh, Dave, thank you hanging around. We're going at nine o'clock.
We're gonna take a short break, maybe nine thirty nine
forty five. Maybe get you back at your hotel on
zoom Mett Boyle, Yeah.

Speaker 2 (03:16:25):
I can call. I'd come back on close.

Speaker 9 (03:16:28):
And by the way, Iranian TV is putting up the
map of all the local Yeah.

Speaker 20 (03:16:32):
And we're starting to see more and more congressional Republicans
weighing in. And there's varying degrees of you know, those
statements from Thune and Johnson and the House and Senate
Intel chairs and what not, and there's varying degrees of
you know, I still think the best steam and there's
the one we.

Speaker 2 (03:16:49):
Read there from Jim Raish the foreign relationship we're not getting.

Speaker 20 (03:16:53):
I don't think we're getting that kind of a statement
from these other guys.

Speaker 2 (03:16:55):
So we'll see.

Speaker 20 (03:16:56):
But the point is that again, the president has a
huge task ahead.

Speaker 9 (03:16:59):
Of a big task. Okay, we're gonna take a break,
probably be back ninth.

Speaker 2 (03:17:03):
There.

Speaker 9 (03:17:03):
Let's plan on nine forty five. Get everybody back in
the chats. President comes on at ten o'clock. I got
my hour right. President's got going to address the nation,
and particularly I think talk to the UH to.

Speaker 2 (03:17:14):
The MAGA base.

Speaker 9 (03:17:15):
Understand some of you are quite skeptical. More information has
to come out. We understand that others are saying, hey,
job well done. President Trump is I think in a
good place, at least good place as far as the
true social goes. He's going to be up at ten
o'clock and not over the White House to working on it.

Speaker 2 (03:17:33):
Right now.

Speaker 9 (03:17:34):
We're going to make some calls, make some get some information,
correct Matt, and we'll be back up here. Let's say
at at nine five, we'll be back up nine and
the President addressed the nation at ten.

Speaker 2 (03:17:48):
We'll see then when you'll be back in the Warrior

Speaker 4 (03:18:14):
