Liberty and Prosperity president, Brian Fitzherbert, joined Dan Klein on the 'Freedom Zone' WOND radio show to discuss his in-depth and accurate analysis of what a US/Israel strike on Iran might look like if it happens. That assessment by Brian, happened before the actual attack occurred. But, it turns out, his analysis, was as accurate as the attack.

We now return you to the Klein Time
Freedom Zone on News Talk 1,400
90 2.3,
w o n d. Yeah. This is Joe
Robinson. He plays a pretty good guitar, folks.
You can check him out on YouTube. He's
got plenty of videos up there,
basically, doing arrangements
of songs you may already be familiar with.
Hey, folks. Welcome back to the program. Thanks
(00:23):
for letting the Klein Time Show be a
part of your South Jersey hot
afternoon here. We got,
a reprieve on the way. According to the
weather experts, tomorrow,
we'll get some, temperature relief and then the
days after that, as well.
So we can put up for, you know,
a little time left. We'll take it as
it it comes. Speaking of taking it as
(00:45):
it comes, folks, on Fridays, allow a lot
of loyal listeners to the program may already
know this. But in case you don't, on
Fridays, on Anne Bako's program at the 11:00
hour, she has Brian Fitzherbert who is the
president for Liberty and Prosperity,
and, she does a segment with her for
the hour called Fitzherbert Friday.
I have the pleasure of, doing some work
(01:06):
on the audio of that,
and, I was doing that over the weekend,
and I was listening to them listening to
Brian talk to Anne. And, basically, Brian did
a play by play, and I'm I'm not
you know, he's he was just talking about,
you know, general knowledge about the Iran, what
they have, their capabilities, what they, you know,
(01:28):
they're buried in the mountain, what The US
has, what our capabilities are, unaware of anything
that was pending.
But, basically, if you list and you can
go to libertyandprosperity.com,
spell at the m, libertyandprosperity.com.
It'll be up there at some point. But,
basically, he was doing a play by play
of what happened
on Saturday. So having said that,
(01:50):
Brian, welcome to the program. And, you know,
you got you might have a side career
as a, you know,
Kreskin, you know, a Kreskin,
you know, cop you know, doing a little
Kreskin act there, buddy.
ESP.
Hello? Yeah. It was, it was quite something
to see,
even the news early Saturday morning that b
(02:12):
twos had taken off from Missouri.
And as soon as I heard that news,
I was like, okay. I think,
the idea of Trump saying within two weeks,
he meant it within those two weeks, not
at two weeks that he was gonna make
a decision.
Yeah. Yeah. And, you know, you didn't say,
hey. It was gonna happen. Like, it was
pending. You would just say you were talking
about capabilities,
(02:34):
what Iran had on the you know, what
they were doing, what the what the, assets
of The United States were and and Israel
as well. And, basically, you were kinda setting
the table
for what then ensued
on Saturday. I think that's a better way
of putting it.
Yeah. And, you know, it's it's crazy because
let's take a step back. You know? What
(02:54):
what did president Trump ultimately do? He he
had two choices. He had either delay
or destroy Iran's
nuclear capabilities.
And, clearly, he chose the option of we're
going to destroy this thing and go even
further. Right? What did he utilize? He utilized
Northrop Grumman, manufacturer who I used to work
for, b two Spirit stealth bombers. These are
(03:16):
about $2,000,000,000
aircraft. The most expensive aircraft we've ever done.
And the replacement is being,
done now, which is it's gonna be a
b 21 Raider. The b the b twos
are are are pretty old, quote, unquote, relatively
speaking. And each of these b two
bombers
can
can basically have a payload
of two fifteen ton
(03:39):
MOPs.
And, again, the fact that they sent as
many as they did
I mean, the the analogy that everyone's been
using is is Star Wars and the Death
Star. They literally dropped this on exhaust vent
vent the size of the that the Death
Star was used as, and then they hit
it again, and they hit it again. And
then they they they basically finished the job
(04:00):
by using,
Ohio class submarines
nearby,
made by General Dynamics Electric Boat, firing Tomahawk
missiles made by Raytheon
through their launchers and decimate the remaining,
the remaining sites. I mean, this is this
is just from a history, from military campaign
standpoint, this was absolutely
(04:21):
incredible. It was just astonishing. And the precision.
But, listen, before we go on, I do
wanna just comment on the b you call
it the b two. I don't know what
it was called
in 02/2007,
02/2006,
somewhere around there. It was, I think, just
referred to as the stealth bomber.
But at one of the Atlantic City air
shows, they had it. Right? And I'm at
(04:42):
Jackson Avenue in the Boardwalk, the border between
Vetter and Atlantic City, and I have my
camera
pointed towards Atlantic City
recording the air show.
And don't you I mean, if people wanna
get a sense for how stealth
these stealth bombers are,
a camera's pointing north. I'm filming what was
going on in the beach and seeing this,
(05:03):
that, and the other thing. All of a
sudden, I didn't hear a thing.
I just this big shadow was coming over
my head, and I'm like, what the heck
is that? And I look up, and there's
the beat there's the stealth bomber,
Brian,
right going right over top of me, but
you didn't hear a thing, buddy. Not a
thing. Yeah. And that's what's amazing. It's not
just stealth from a radar standpoint. It's stealth.
(05:25):
I mean, the acoustics and the the sound
that they're able to shrink is is quite
amazing. And each of these b twos look.
This mission
required two pilots. So you had two pilots
making their way
through let's see. Probably
round trip thirty six, thirty seven hours after
the bombing campaign. So you're you're talking about
(05:45):
two individuals,
man or woman, piloting these things, snacks,
and waiting for the go ahead before they
go dark, the point of no return, doing
their bathroom breaks, everything in between, doing the
precision of the bomb dropping, and then getting
home because they did get aerial,
support in Iranian airspace by our fifth and
(06:06):
by our fifth generation aircraft.
And that was the point of no return
that comms were gonna go dead and they
were gonna do the job And whatever happened,
because they didn't know if Iranian,
the regime was going to lift off any
kind of aircraft or have any kind of,
launchers to shoot, ballistic missiles at the aircraft,
but they never saw it coming. They never
(06:28):
saw it coming. This would the amount of
misdirection that was done that they had b
twos go the other direction to Guam. I
mean, you name it. This was just a
masterful military campaign that the joint chiefs and
the secretary of defense was able to put
together with these military packages. It's again, the
word is astonishing. And then on top of
that, you have a ceasefire that so far,
(06:48):
I haven't seen any headlines that, says that
anything, has broken at this point. So it
seems to be at least the tentative ceasefire
seems to be holding,
you know, president Trump. I I tell you,
he just
some people out there, they're not gonna like
the guy no matter what he does.
But I to me, he I I I
can't he said he's actually gotten better
(07:11):
as a president, in my view, particularly yesterday.
I thought it was on full display. Now
the language you can have issue with, but
basically, when they when they were,
a ceasefire is signed and right after the
ceasefire is signed, Israel's dropping bombs, this, that,
and the other thing. He's basically and they
is and Iran's responding, and he's basically saying,
you there's something wrong with both of you.
(07:32):
Bop bop bop. You gotta knock it out.
Basically,
this president wants peace around the world, but
he's not afraid
to use the military assets in order to
make that statement and make that and make
that, abundantly clear.
No question. I mean, he's like that father
that comes home when he's heard from his
wife all day that the kids have been
misbehaving. Right. And enough is enough. And, again,
(07:55):
this guy gives
zero f's anymore.
And the only thing you can see from
space now are the boulders between this guy's
legs.
This guy has the metal of which we've
never seen before, and he's doing it for
peace. He's not doing it for any other
reason. Just like anyone that I work with,
my colleagues, we may build weapons of war,
(08:16):
but we don't like war. We hope that
we never have to use these things, but
if we have to, we will use them.
And Trump has that in spades. And, again,
he did something that we've heard literally my
entire lifetime and then some. Right? Going all
the way back to '79
where death to America, death to Israel, that
they
(08:36):
the the biggest difference between Iran and the
other nine countries that actually have nuclear weapons
is that Iran was building nuclear weapons to
use for attack and to kill. Right? To
kill The United States and kill Israel. The
other nine countries have it as a deterrent,
as a protectionist
for more or less, leave us alone. We
have nuclear weapons. We're gonna do our own
thing. But that's the fundamental difference with not
(08:59):
only everything else that's been going on with
Iran, but and this has been a huge
problem for nearly half a century that Trump
dealt with. And
the days are still young. We'll still figure
out what kind of damage we did. At
a minimum, we set them back years in
terms of starting this, and it could be
even decades where they can even get to,
a uranium enrichment because, again, for normal nuclear
(09:21):
capabilities from an energy standpoint, commercial energy, you
only need about 10% uranium enrichment. They were
in the neighborhood 60 to 90%, which the
only reason that you need that is for
nuclear warheads to be,
outfitted with ICBMs, ballistic missiles, that kind of
thing. So, again, they've tried to play this
delay tactic game on every US president, and
Trump just said, enough. I'm done. You had
(09:43):
sixty days. Israel went in there. They softened
them up, and The United States finished the
job. Now let me ask you a couple.
You know, you got all kinds of stories
coming out afterwards. It's basically from the mainstream
media, but just to cover all the bases,
Brian,
intimations are and there's a couple different facets
to this. One iteration is they didn't,
(10:04):
Iran moved the stuff before we got to
it.
There was there was, I guess, noted that,
Chinese trucks are, semi, semi tractor trailers on-site,
and there was some kind of movement there
prior to the attack.
And then others are saying that,
even with the intense bombing that the mountain,
(10:24):
you know, the facility undertook,
that they were still able to survive,
that assault.
What's your take on any one of those
three?
So if possible, anything's possible. And, again, it
is still early days. It's only Wednesday. This
was done, obviously, Friday, Friday, Saturday.
And, ultimately,
(10:45):
time will tell. And I'm sure there's contingency
plans if we get some intel. The question
again
arises
is
what was the appetite and what were the
repercussions as things go? We're not gonna know
anything. The Israelis are gonna basically gonna do
the assessment. They're gonna go in there, and
they still have complete control of Iranian airspace,
which again is is just shocking to me
(11:07):
in in this day and age.
But, ultimately, it could lead to that. I
mean, you've had all these
again, everything's political like you alluded to. Everyone
hates Trump. If the guy walked on water,
they'd say he can't swim. If he if
he cured cancer, they they would say he
can't do it soon enough. It doesn't matter.
And from the political standpoint that all this
stuff is happening, they're trying to say that,
oh, Netanyahu's a broken record. He's a boy
(11:28):
who cried. Wolf, he's been saying that Iran
has been close to nuclear weapons for decades.
Yeah. They have been for decades. And guess
what happens when they get close? Israel goes
in, assassinates
a medical not a medical, a,
you know, a researcher or a scientist or
a military leader, and then it gets set
back, you know, months or years. And then
they do it again. They do it again.
They've been doing that for decades. Right? So
(11:49):
all this
is a is a large package. But I
if I had to make a
informed assessment based on what we've seen because
forget what people say, watch what they do.
Sure. The fact of the matter is why
hasn't Iran responded
if, number one, they have a cable or
even more close or even fired even more
missiles into Israel
(12:10):
with the current circumstances.
Even if they're biding their time with all
of this, they've got no leverage. They've got
nothing. They have nothing. They have nothing. And
they know that. And I think that's where
Trump is finally putting the squeeze. And, again,
it's early days, but I I have a
I have a sneaking suspicion,
that for the most part, we've we've kept
this planet safe for a few decades more
(12:31):
Well, of course. From Iran's ambitions. And plus
on that, I I I think, you know,
with the possibilities of, you know, China moving
some of the stuff this time, the other
thing, From what I gathered, the Israeli Mossad
has a pretty good tab on everything that's
going on in Iran.
So I don't know if, they would be
able to get away with that without being
detected.
And then I also think it's important to
(12:52):
know, Brian, and we gotta take a break.
Maybe you can comment on the a couple
of these things. I'll I'll set the table,
and then you when we come back, you
can you can hit them. I think it's
important to note, during the actual, battles that
were going on, the bombs that were being
dropped,
because I think this is a profound difference
between the two when people are saying, you
know, well, who? Israel,
(13:13):
Iran, you know.
Israel was targeting military assets
inside of Iran.
Iran was targeting civilian assets inside of Israel.
I think that speaks to the difference between
the two sides.
Also, the Iranian people
seem to be
stirring in the streets and,
(13:33):
you know, they're starting to stir the pot.
They, they wanna, basically lift up I think
it's the son
or maybe the grandson of the former Shah
of Iran. So I'll get your comments on
that, folks. We're talking with Brian Fitzherbert. You
normally might hear him on or not. If
you're a loyalist, it's w o n d,
you do hear him. On Fridays with Ann
(13:53):
Baker in the 11:00 hour for Fitzharbour, Friday,
and he's good enough to join us here
to give some clarity to some of the
stuff that's going on between Israel and Iran.
And we'll continue with Brian on the other
side. I just laid out a couple of
thoughts for him to ponder during the break,
and then I also wanna ask him about
the developments
in New York City,
with the, nomination
(14:14):
of, the first con you know, outwardly communist
mayor
candidate for we got Brian Fitzherber for a
couple more minutes here. We gotta go fast.
There's a lot to try and slip in
here. Brian, before you get to those two
points, and I'll repeat them in a moment,
but I I don't know if you saw
the meme circulating
(14:34):
on,
Facebook and elsewhere from the governor's office.
Heat wave tips to save energy and stay
safe. Number one on top of the list,
set your AC to a reasonable
78 degrees. Did you see that, Brian?
I I did see that, and I all
I had to do was chuckle. You know,
this this should surprise nobody in the Garden
(14:55):
State that this is what our government says.
Unbelievable.
Absolutely. Alright, Brian. So, be when we before
we went to break, I asked you a
couple of questions,
regarding first, the difference between the two sides
in this in this confrontation.
Israel, this ongoing this long
standing confrontation, Israel, Iran.
(15:17):
Israel targets the military assets of Iran. Iran
targets civilian assets
of Israel. I think that speaks to the
difference between the two sides. Does it does
it do so to you as well?
Yeah. And we gotta look that this is
further back. Remember,
Iran
effectively started this October
2023
because Hamas,
which is just a funded arm of the
(15:40):
Iran regime just like Hezbollah
and the Houthis. They're all extensions of the
Iranian regime going after Israel
and wanting to wipe them off the map,
and that's the fundamental difference. Israel wants to
have peace. They wanna have continuance with Abraham
Accord, with other,
Middle East countries, and Iran is that rotten
(16:02):
neighbor that will not accept reality.
And they have these stone age type mentalities,
and guess what? The stone age is gonna
come right back to them because that's where
they're going if they keep this up. And
you talk when you say the mentality of
the stone age, that's the Mullahs. But the
people of Iran, they they're,
they're of a different sort or maybe at
least maybe not all of them, but certainly
(16:24):
as a lot of them.
And there are rumblings in the streets.
What do you think? Do you is is
that
is that any kind of realistic possibility
that, the people would rise up and and
and basically and the Mullahs would have no
choice but to, flee?
Look. Now is the time for the Iranian
people. If anyone goes back and sees pictures
(16:46):
pre 1979,
you see women in very westernized clothing, same
thing with the men, and you see it
today. And since '79, women are completely covered
up. They have no rights. They they do
all these other atrocious things that liberals,
for the most part, should be appalled at,
yet they still sit, for some reason, stand
behind Iran and the Ayatollah Khamenei. So now
is the time for the Iranian people. Trump
(17:07):
has made it clear,
that this wasn't about regime change. However, that
doesn't mean that this could be a byproduct
of current actions. It's up to the Iranian
people, and it's very possible, like you said,
that the the former Shah, his son, has
volunteered himself
to be a leader in this in this
resistance
if a revolution takes place. And, again, that's
(17:29):
not for The United States or for Donald
Trump for that matter,
to get involved with, but now would be
the time when this regime is severely weakened.
They have no leverage, and they can't do
what they claim because The US and Israel
have more or less taken,
and chopped off the head, metaphorically
speaking,
of all these military leaders and even the
people of the deputies and the deputies of
(17:49):
the deputies are being killed. Yeah. So now
would be the time if they were gonna
do it. Hey, Brian. Real quick. I only
got about twenty seconds. I I have to
ask you this. It's it's has nothing to
do with Iran,
and Israel.
It's an LA deputy mayor. I don't know
if you've seen this clip has come out
and basically was calling on gangbangers,
Latino gangbangers out in LA
(18:11):
to protect their home turf. Are you familiar
with did you happen to see the clip
of this LA
deputy mayor calling for this who's now under
investigation by any any,
by by the way? I just wanted to
get your comment if you had seen it.
No. I hadn't seen it, but truthfully, anything
coming out of LA with that kind of
element doesn't surprise me. And I'm sure from
(18:32):
an attorney general standpoint, Pam Bondi will deal
with it from a federal Yeah. Standpoint in
charge. I could not even believe what I
was listening to, and she actually said it.
In any event, Brian Fitz thanks so much
for your time today. President for Liberty and
Prosperity. Check him out online, libertyandprosperity.com,
and you can always hear him on Fridays
with Ann Baker in the 11:00 hour. Thank
you so much, Brian. Appreciate your time.

misdirection that was done that they had b
twos go the other direction to Guam. I
mean, you name it. This was just a
masterful military campaign that the joint chiefs and
the secretary of defense was able to put
together with these military packages. It's again, the
word is astonishing. And then on top of
that, you have a ceasefire that so far,
(06:48):
I haven't seen any headlines that, says that
anything, has broken at this point. So it
seems to be at least the tentative ceasefire
seems to be holding,
you know, president Trump. I I tell you,
he just
some people out there, they're not gonna like
the guy no matter what he does.
But I to me, he I I I
can't he said he's actually gotten better
(07:11):
as a president, in my view, particularly yesterday.
I thought it was on full display. Now
the language you can have issue with, but
basically, when they when they were,
a ceasefire is signed and right after the
ceasefire is signed, Israel's dropping bombs, this, that,
and the other thing. He's basically and they
is and Iran's responding, and he's basically saying,
you there's something wrong with both of you.
(07:32):
Bop bop bop. You gotta knock it out.
Basically,
this president wants peace around the world, but
he's not afraid
to use the military assets in order to
make that statement and make that and make
that, abundantly clear.
No question. I mean, he's like that father
that comes home when he's heard from his
wife all day that the kids have been
misbehaving. Right. And enough is enough. And, again,
(07:55):
this guy gives
zero f's anymore.
And the only thing you can see from
space now are the boulders between this guy's
legs.
This guy has the metal of which we've
never seen before, and he's doing it for
peace. He's not doing it for any other
reason. Just like anyone that I work with,
my colleagues, we may build weapons of war,
(08:16):
but we don't like war. We hope that
we never have to use these things, but
if we have to, we will use them.
And Trump has that in spades. And, again,
he did something that we've heard literally my
entire lifetime and then some. Right? Going all
the way back to '79
where death to America, death to Israel, that
they
(08:36):
the the biggest difference between Iran and the
other nine countries that actually have nuclear weapons
is that Iran was building nuclear weapons to
use for attack and to kill. Right? To
kill The United States and kill Israel. The
other nine countries have it as a deterrent,
as a protectionist
for more or less, leave us alone. We
have nuclear weapons. We're gonna do our own
thing. But that's the fundamental difference with not
(08:59):
only everything else that's been going on with
Iran, but and this has been a huge
problem for nearly half a century that Trump
dealt with. And
the days are still young. We'll still figure
out what kind of damage we did. At
a minimum, we set them back years in
terms of starting this, and it could be
even decades where they can even get to,
a uranium enrichment because, again, for normal nuclear
(09:21):
capabilities from an energy standpoint, commercial energy, you
only need about 10% uranium enrichment. They were
in the neighborhood 60 to 90%, which the
only reason that you need that is for
nuclear warheads to be,
outfitted with ICBMs, ballistic missiles, that kind of
thing. So, again, they've tried to play this
delay tactic game on every US president, and
Trump just said, enough. I'm done. You had
(09:43):
sixty days. Israel went in there. They softened
them up, and The United States finished the
job. Now let me ask you a couple.
You know, you got all kinds of stories
coming out afterwards. It's basically from the mainstream
media, but just to cover all the bases,
Brian,
intimations are and there's a couple different facets
to this. One iteration is they didn't,
(10:04):
Iran moved the stuff before we got to
it.
There was there was, I guess, noted that,
Chinese trucks are, semi, semi tractor trailers on-site,
and there was some kind of movement there
prior to the attack.
And then others are saying that,
even with the intense bombing that the mountain,
(10:24):
you know, the facility undertook,
that they were still able to survive,
that assault.
What's your take on any one of those
three?
So if possible, anything's possible. And, again, it
is still early days. It's only Wednesday. This
was done, obviously, Friday, Friday, Saturday.
And, ultimately,
(10:45):
time will tell. And I'm sure there's contingency
plans if we get some intel. The question
again
arises
is
what was the appetite and what were the
repercussions as things go? We're not gonna know
anything. The Israelis are gonna basically gonna do
the assessment. They're gonna go in there, and
they still have complete control of Iranian airspace,
which again is is just shocking to me
(11:07):
in in this day and age.
But, ultimately, it could lead to that. I
mean, you've had all these
again, everything's political like you alluded to. Everyone
hates Trump. If the guy walked on water,
they'd say he can't swim. If he if
he cured cancer, they they would say he
can't do it soon enough. It doesn't matter.
And from the political standpoint that all this
stuff is happening, they're trying to say that,
oh, Netanyahu's a broken record. He's a boy
(11:28):
who cried. Wolf, he's been saying that Iran
has been close to nuclear weapons for decades.
Yeah. They have been for decades. And guess
what happens when they get close? Israel goes
in, assassinates
a medical not a medical, a,
you know, a researcher or a scientist or
a military leader, and then it gets set
back, you know, months or years. And then
they do it again. They do it again.
They've been doing that for decades. Right? So
(11:49):
all this
is a is a large package. But I
if I had to make a
informed assessment based on what we've seen because
forget what people say, watch what they do.
Sure. The fact of the matter is why
hasn't Iran responded
if, number one, they have a cable or
even more close or even fired even more
missiles into Israel
(12:10):
with the current circumstances.
Even if they're biding their time with all
of this, they've got no leverage. They've got
nothing. They have nothing. They have nothing. And
they know that. And I think that's where
Trump is finally putting the squeeze. And, again,
it's early days, but I I have a
I have a sneaking suspicion,
that for the most part, we've we've kept
this planet safe for a few decades more
(12:31):
Well, of course. From Iran's ambitions. And plus
on that, I I I think, you know,
with the possibilities of, you know, China moving
some of the stuff this time, the other
thing, From what I gathered, the Israeli Mossad
has a pretty good tab on everything that's
going on in Iran.
So I don't know if, they would be
able to get away with that without being
detected.
And then I also think it's important to
(12:52):
know, Brian, and we gotta take a break.
Maybe you can comment on the a couple
of these things. I'll I'll set the table,
and then you when we come back, you
can you can hit them. I think it's
important to note, during the actual, battles that
were going on, the bombs that were being
dropped,
because I think this is a profound difference
between the two when people are saying, you
know, well, who? Israel,
(13:13):
Iran, you know.
Israel was targeting military assets
inside of Iran.
Iran was targeting civilian assets inside of Israel.
I think that speaks to the difference between
the two sides.
Also, the Iranian people
seem to be
stirring in the streets and,
(13:33):
you know, they're starting to stir the pot.
They, they wanna, basically lift up I think
it's the son
or maybe the grandson of the former Shah
of Iran. So I'll get your comments on
that, folks. We're talking with Brian Fitzherbert. You
normally might hear him on or not. If
you're a loyalist, it's w o n d,
you do hear him. On Fridays with Ann
(13:53):
Baker in the 11:00 hour for Fitzharbour, Friday,
and he's good enough to join us here
to give some clarity to some of the
stuff that's going on between Israel and Iran.
And we'll continue with Brian on the other
side. I just laid out a couple of
thoughts for him to ponder during the break,
and then I also wanna ask him about
the developments
in New York City,
with the, nomination
(14:14):
of, the first con you know, outwardly communist
mayor
candidate for we got Brian Fitzherber for a
couple more minutes here. We gotta go fast.
There's a lot to try and slip in
here. Brian, before you get to those two
points, and I'll repeat them in a moment,
but I I don't know if you saw
the meme circulating
(14:34):
on,
Facebook and elsewhere from the governor's office.
Heat wave tips to save energy and stay
safe. Number one on top of the list,
set your AC to a reasonable
78 degrees. Did you see that, Brian?
I I did see that, and I all
I had to do was chuckle. You know,
this this should surprise nobody in the Garden
(14:55):
State that this is what our government says.
Unbelievable.
Absolutely. Alright, Brian. So, be when we before
we went to break, I asked you a
couple of questions,
regarding first, the difference between the two sides
in this in this confrontation.
Israel, this ongoing this long
standing confrontation, Israel, Iran.
(15:17):
Israel targets the military assets of Iran. Iran
targets civilian assets
of Israel. I think that speaks to the
difference between the two sides. Does it does
it do so to you as well?
Yeah. And we gotta look that this is
further back. Remember,
Iran
effectively started this October
2023
because Hamas,
which is just a funded arm of the
(15:40):
Iran regime just like Hezbollah
and the Houthis. They're all extensions of the
Iranian regime going after Israel
and wanting to wipe them off the map,
and that's the fundamental difference. Israel wants to
have peace. They wanna have continuance with Abraham
Accord, with other,
Middle East countries, and Iran is that rotten
(16:02):
neighbor that will not accept reality.
And they have these stone age type mentalities,
and guess what? The stone age is gonna
come right back to them because that's where
they're going if they keep this up. And
you talk when you say the mentality of
the stone age, that's the Mullahs. But the
people of Iran, they they're,
they're of a different sort or maybe at
least maybe not all of them, but certainly
(16:24):
as a lot of them.
And there are rumblings in the streets.
What do you think? Do you is is
that
is that any kind of realistic possibility
that, the people would rise up and and
and basically and the Mullahs would have no
choice but to, flee?
Look. Now is the time for the Iranian
people. If anyone goes back and sees pictures
(16:46):
pre 1979,
you see women in very westernized clothing, same
thing with the men, and you see it
today. And since '79, women are completely covered
up. They have no rights. They they do
all these other atrocious things that liberals,
for the most part, should be appalled at,
yet they still sit, for some reason, stand
behind Iran and the Ayatollah Khamenei. So now
is the time for the Iranian people. Trump
(17:07):
has made it clear,
that this wasn't about regime change. However, that
doesn't mean that this could be a byproduct
of current actions. It's up to the Iranian
people, and it's very possible, like you said,
that the the former Shah, his son, has
volunteered himself
to be a leader in this in this
resistance
if a revolution takes place. And, again, that's
(17:29):
not for The United States or for Donald
Trump for that matter,
to get involved with, but now would be
the time when this regime is severely weakened.
They have no leverage, and they can't do
what they claim because The US and Israel
have more or less taken,
and chopped off the head, metaphorically
speaking,
of all these military leaders and even the
people of the deputies and the deputies of
(17:49):
the deputies are being killed. Yeah. So now
would be the time if they were gonna
do it. Hey, Brian. Real quick. I only
got about twenty seconds. I I have to
ask you this. It's it's has nothing to
do with Iran,
and Israel.
It's an LA deputy mayor. I don't know
if you've seen this clip has come out
and basically was calling on gangbangers,
Latino gangbangers out in LA
(18:11):
to protect their home turf. Are you familiar
with did you happen to see the clip
of this LA
deputy mayor calling for this who's now under
investigation by any any,
by by the way? I just wanted to
get your comment if you had seen it.
No. I hadn't seen it, but truthfully, anything
coming out of LA with that kind of
element doesn't surprise me. And I'm sure from
(18:32):
an attorney general standpoint, Pam Bondi will deal
with it from a federal Yeah. Standpoint in
charge. I could not even believe what I
was listening to, and she actually said it.
In any event, Brian Fitz thanks so much
for your time today. President for Liberty and
Prosperity. Check him out online, libertyandprosperity.com,
and you can always hear him on Fridays
with Ann Baker in the 11:00 hour. Thank

of the hour. ABC News right here, right
now.
