(00:00):
This is America, where the beastman, alone among God's primates,
he kills for sport. Who's next?
Yeah, he. Will murder his brother to
possess his brother's land. Let him not breathe in great
numbers, for he will make a desert of his home and yours.
(00:21):
Oh my God. Shun him out of water, driving
back into his jungle lair. Oh, he is the harbinger of death
fight. Really.
Dead. Breaking news.
Iran's Internet has been shut down.
Signals are being jammed. I believe this is a cyber
(00:43):
warfare against Iraq or Israel. Moments ago, Israel launched
Operation Rising Lion. I've written him a letter.
Targeted military operation to roll back the Iranian threat to
(01:08):
Israel's very survival. Saying I hope you're going to
negotiate because if we have to go in militarily, it's going to
be a terrible thing. For them.
This operation will continue foras many days as it takes to
remove this threat. Today, the Jewish state refuses
(01:29):
to be a victim of a nuclear Holocaust perpetrated by the
Iranian regime. Israel will never allow those
who call for our annihilation todevelop the means to achieve
that goal. Tonight, Israel backs those
words with action. High-ranking Iranian commander
was killed in the strikes, including the general replacing
(01:50):
Soleimani five years ago, all now dead.
The IDF saying Iran's primary nuclear power facility is now
destroyed. Welcome to another edition of
America TODAY, a brief synopsis of what you may have woken up to
Friday morning. And it isn't a dramatic event.
We kind of expected it. And of course, as Trump said, it
(02:12):
was day 61 and he had given him that warning 60 days ago.
You better come to the table. And to Israel's credit, they
appear to have a very successfulassault.
And they took out many of the nuke plants, which is a good
thing. Some of these plants were
underground, a little harder to get as far as 900 meters
(02:35):
underground, but they were successful and taking out key
nuclear facilities where uraniumenrichment was known to be
occurring. This was a plan that took
several months to put into action.
And interestingly, with Trump saying, look, make a deal, his
hands are washed. He gave Iran and their
(02:57):
leadership every possible out and they rebuffed him while they
were all the time being busy creating uranium enrichment.
And so we had Ali Safavi on yesterday and he talked a lot
about what really is going on internally in inside of Iran,
(03:18):
not not with the government, with the people, the people,
although there is here's a clip from do we have the rioting?
We we heard that in the montage the people are out on now and
they're of course, protesting against Israel, but in secret.
What they're not telling you is that many of Iran's own citizens
(03:39):
are hoping that this could be the beginning of the end of the
mullahs and the theocracy that has ruled with an iron fist
since 1979. And as Ali mentioned, he even
lost his own brother to the government of Iran simply before
he protesting. And he has been in exile.
And I would encourage you to go listen to that podcast.
(04:00):
It is now up on America Today with Jim Watkins.
Welcome to the program. And we've got a busy show, a lot
of sound bites. Of course, the country is paying
its respects to one of the brilliant writing geniuses of
the 60s and 70s, Brian Wilson. I'm always a big fan.
If time permits, I'll have something special for you in the
(04:23):
fourth block. You know, the final segment of
the program. It's it's a a little nugget of
what I found a good friend of mine, Greg Hangler works for a
program called How our American Stories, which you may have
heard. And they did a piece on Brian
and the song Good Vibrations. And this is maybe a couple of
(04:43):
years ago. And I heard it and I just there
was something about breaking down that song because that song
really was his Magnus opus, Brian Wilson.
And I think it's a fitting tribute to play that because
Greg, the guy who produced the piece, did a terrific job on on
showing us the the true genius, not only of Brian Wilson, but of
(05:07):
technology back in that day. So we get to that.
We've got what's trending on social.
I've got a cut from Stephen Miller is probably the best cut
I have ever heard. And I it's worthy of replaying.
Plus, we'll take a look back. Of course, the riots are still
ongoing in Los Angeles and othercities across the country.
(05:27):
I have predicted yesterday and Istill hold true that by the end
of the weekend, the backers, theprovocateurs, Kyra and others
who have been funding these FA riots, they're going to realize
that Trump's not going to back down.
National Guard's going to be called in.
This is not going to be a repeatof BLM and the George Floyd
(05:48):
riots of 2020. Trump admitted as much.
He said this is not I'm not going to allow this under my
watch. We will not have anarchy in our
streets and shame on the the news media for two things.
One, lying to the American people for not disclosing that
the ICE raid that that provoked this riot in Los Angeles, it was
(06:12):
not a raid of, of immigrants. It was a raid of cartels doing
business in downtown Los Angeles, including human sex
trafficking, fentanyl, drug distribution.
And that's where they kept the money and ICE broke in and
disrupted the cartel's operation.
But the mainstream media has never mentioned it.
(06:34):
And So what they've done is thatthey've jenned up the crowd.
And this time around, Trump is not going to back down.
So if you're in Portland, you can sigh.
You can give a sigh of relief. If you're in Phoenix, well, I
don't know what Hobbes is going to do.
But second and third generation Mexicans, they see through this,
they know exactly what's going on.
(06:55):
They the smarter ones, the ones that have been here, the ones
that have assimilated throughoutthe country.
I don't care if you're in New Mexico or Albuquerque or Dallas,
TX. Most of those who Houston
particularly is, is 3rd, 4th generation.
By the way, our prayers go out to the folks in San Antonio.
Heavy rains this weekend, just horrible.
(07:17):
And, and who's out there helpingthose people?
It's not the rioters. So just be just know that you've
got a president and an administration and a Department
of Homeland Security that actually will do what they can
to keep Americans safe and they should be heralded for that.
Instead, the media is gaslighting the American people
(07:40):
into being anti cop, anti law enforcement, anti rules, anti
rules of of conduct. And instead they're taking the
side, the mainstream media. And I'm talking about Lester
Holt, I'm talking about all of the folks at MSNBC, Nicole
Wallace. All they're trying to do is gin
up the race, gin up the race wars.
(08:01):
That's what they're trying to do.
Anyway, here's a little bit moreof what Netanyahu said this
morning. This is what broke the
declaration of the the attack against the Iranian regime.
Take a listen to Benjamin Netanyahu moments.
Ago, Israel launched Operation Rising Lion, a targeted military
(08:21):
operation to roll back the Iranian threat to Israel's very
survival. This operation will continue for
as many days as it takes to remove this threat.
Today, the Jewish state refuses to be a victim of a nuclear
Holocaust perpetrated by the Iranian regime.
Now, as Prime Minister, I've made it clear time and again,
(08:44):
Israel will never allow those who call for our annihilation to
develop the means to achieve that goal.
Tonight, Israel backs those words with action.
We struck at the heart of Iran'snuclear enrichment program.
We struck at the heart of Iran'snuclear weaponization program.
We targeted Iran's main enrichment facility in Natanz.
(09:06):
We targeted Iran's leading nuclear scientists working on
the Iranian bomb. We also struck at the heart of
Iran's ballistic missile program.
I want to assure the civilized world we will not let the
world's most dangerous regime get the world's most dangerous
weapons. We'll have more information on
this mixed bag of good news and bad news reaction.
(09:28):
But this, I think, will weaken the Iran regime and perhaps this
will motivate them to finally get to the table and realize
that this fool's errand of trying to develop uranium for
bombs is just a futile effort. It's a fool's errand.
I'll tell you more to come. Don't forget social media.
And then Dr. Guild is going to join us in a special interview
(09:49):
having to do with Father's Day and taking pride in in good old
dad. Hang on right here on America
TODAY.
This is America, where the beastman, alone among God's primates,
