A short time ago, the US military carried out massive precision strikes on the three key nuclear facilities in the Iranian regime for Doau, Natanz and Esfahan. Tonight, I can report to the world that the strikes were a spectacular military success.
You're listening to the forty seven Morning Update with Ben ferguson.
Good Monday morning.
It's nice to have you with us on the forty seven Morning Updated. We've got a lot to talk about, including the successful attack on Iran's nuclear sites because the President of the United States America said Iran we will
never allow to get a nuclear weapon. We also are going to talk about the fallout and what it means moving forward after this attack, as Democrats are now going after Donald Trump, and finally, what could Iran do next and how big is a concern for sleeper cells in this country that were let in with our open borders under the Biden regime. I want to also make sure you guys remember hit that subscribe auto download button and share this podcast on your social media wherever you're listening
right now. We've also had so many of you that have asked the question, how can I help people in Israel and we've been telling you about the International Fellowship of Christians and Jews and the work they are doing is incredible. They are deploying bomb shelters as we speak to help keep people safe in Israel. When things get bad, that is when they step up and protect families and
loved ones. And if you want to get involved and stand with the people in Israel right now, you can do it by giving food and shelter to Jewish families that are under threat. As I said, they're building bomb shelters for children. They're helping survivors of the attacks that we're witnessing right now, and they are doing it daily. Your gift of only forty five dollars will help support life saving work by providing food, shelter, and so much more.
I was speaking with the CEO of IFCJ and she was talking about just how hard it is for so many families in Israel right now and what they're doing on the ground and the bomb shelters that are needed, and she said, very simply, if you can help stand with the people in Israel that are under attack, they are doing everything they can to support them and to
give the bomb shelters that are needed. So step up and help right now if you can at all eight eight eight four eight eight IFCJ that's eight eight eight four eight eight four three two five.

It's the forty seven morning Update and it starts right now.
Story number one. Sixty days.
That was the deadline that Donald Trump gave a RAND to come to the table and make a deal to get rid of their RAND nuclear program. They chose not to. And it's a foreign policy that's pretty clear. Fa FO. Donald Trump not wasting any time doing what he needed to do to make sure that Iran never gets a nuclear weapon, certainly not while he's in office. And the present made it clear with the attack on not one, not two, but three of the Iranian nuclear sites, they
should have come to the table much sooner. Here's the present in his own words at the White House.
A short time ago, the US military carried out massive precision strikes on the three key nuclear facilities in the Iranian regime for Doeaux Natans and Esfahan. Everybody heard those names for years as they built this horribly destructive enterprise. Our objective was the destruction of Iran's nuclear inrichment capacity and a stop to the nuclear threat posed by the world's number one state sponsor of terror.
Tonight, I can report to the world.
That the strikes were a spectacular military success. Iranski nuclear and Richmond facilities have been completely and totally obliterated. Rand the bully of the Middle East, must now make peace. If they do not, future attacks would be.
Far greater and a lot easier.
For forty years, Iran has been saying death to America, death to Israel. They have been killing our people, blowing off their arms, blowing off their legs with roadside bombs, that was their specialty.
We lost over a.
Thousand people, and hundreds of thousands throughout the Middle East and around the world have died as a direct result of their hate. In particular, so many were killed by their general Cassem SOLMANI. I decided a long time ago that I would not let this happen.
It will not continue.
I want to thank and congratulate Prime Minister bb NETTNYA, who we worked as a team like perhaps no team has ever worked before, and we've gone a long way to erasing this horrible threat to Israel. I want to thank the Israeli military for the wonderful job they've done.
And most importantly, I want to congratulate the great American patriots who flew those magnificent machines tonight and all of the United States military on an operation the likes of which the world has not seen in many, many decades. Hopefully we will no longer need their services and this capacity.
I hope that's so.
I also want to congratulate the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, General Dan Raisin Kine, spectacular general, and all of the brilliant military minds involved in this attack. With all of that being said, this cannot continue. There will be either peace or there will be tragedy for Iran, far greater than we have witnessed over the last eight days. Remember, there are men any targets left. The night's was the most difficult of them all by far, and perhaps the
most lethal. But if peace does not come quickly, we will go after those other targets with precision, speed and skill. Most of them can be taken out in a matter of minutes. There's no military in the world that could have done what we did tonight, not even close. There has never been a military that could do what took place.
Just a little while ago.
Tomorrow, General Kin, Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth will have a press conference at eight am at the Pentagon, and I want to just thank everybody, and in particular God.
I want to just say, we love you God, and we.
Love our great military. Protect them. God bless the Middle East, God bless Israel, and God bless America.
Thank you very much, Thank you.
There is also a sincere gratitude you could hear from the President, So thankful for our men and women in uniform who are willing to risk their lives to protect all of us, and a sincere thanks to God for protecting them in this incredible mission. There was also another aspect of what just happened that's truly incredible, not a
single leak. You have a president in this administration that has a very different staff around him, a very different cabinet, and what we witnessed was a team working together to make sure that all the American soldiers were kept safe, that there were no leaks that came out about an incredible mission. One that was incredibly complicated, as you heard from the President, that involved countless people, and one that was successful to the point where not a single shot
was fired at us. Jennifer Griffin at Fox News Channel put it this way.
Well, Brett, I think, yes, my phone has been literally ringing off the hook. But what I would say is that it's notable, well, how much deception was involved in this operation. All eyes were looking west towards Guam and the B twos that took off late last night towards Guam. It's possible that, but if the distance there would suggest that the B twos may have also flown east from
Whiteman Air Force Base in Missouri. Remember the air refuelers, many of them were placed in Europe and in the across the Middle East, and that is what is known as an air refueling bridge, and all of those BE twos would require much air refueling in order to make it.
They usually fly round trip from white men. And so what we can say, and the President said this in his truth Social post, is that a full payload of bombs, those massive ordnance penetrators, the thirty thousand pounds bunker buster bombs were dropped at four Dough, and as we have reported, there are two entrances to four Dough, so at least two bombs at each two entrants, which suggest at least two BE twos were involved over four Dough. My suspicion
is that there were more. And then you have the two other sites, Natans, which is also has an underground enrichment facility. The Israelis had not been able to reach or take out that facility despite the last ten days of bombing, and so now US warplanes likely another B two bomber had dropped that mop, the thirty thousand pound bunker buster on Natans. And then you also have Isfahan, a third site south of Tehran, and that is also a very significant enrichment facility. So those B two bombers.
It's possible that as everybody was looking west for the B twos flying towards Guam, that in fact there was another package of squadron of B twos that were flying east from white Men. It's about a fifteen hour trip from white Men in Missouri to the Middle East to Iran, and those bombers often fly round trip and takes them about thirty hours to get home. But they are out of danger tonight. They are not in Iranian airspace anymore, according to the President. The other thing I can point
out this is an operation. In the last eighteen years since I've been at the Pentagon, I've never seen such operational security. There was nobody speaking about this, any of the preparations. There was a complete lockdown, almost a blackout of information for the last few days. I'm sitting here in the Pentagon right now, I can tell you the hallways are empty and all of the information is coming right now out of the White House. That is a
significant achievement because there were no leaks about the timing. Now, sometimes I think those who a lot of the flight trackers, the open source intelligence flight trackers, that flight radar did indicate some of the when the B twos took off from white Men. But again, nobody really expected that it
would take place this evening. If you looked at the moon schedule, you might have had a clue because it was a waning crescent and almost a new moon on the twenty fifth, so it would have been very very dark over Iran tonight, and you need that in order to to bomb. That's the ideal condition for something like a B two that is, yes, itself stealth, but it still has to be escorted in in case any Iran were to put up any planes or there were any opportunities to fire on those B twos, which are such
valuable and very very special planes. Only the US military has this kind of weaponry and this capability. No other country in the world could have carried off. What occurred tonight at those three uranium enrichment sites.
Truly incredible work by our men and women in uniform and is you could hear there from the Pentagon. The fact that no one knew that this was happening and no one leaked it truly tells you about how great this administration is that Donald Trump has around him this time. It brings me to the final point. There is a lot of concern about what Iran is going to do next with retaliation. Obviously they are going after Israel as we speak, but what could happen at home and how
vigilant should we stay. Well, the answer is we should stay vigilant, We should be careful because there is one major problem. We had a massive open border for far too long under Joe Biden, and what we have found out is that there was an incredible number of Iranian nationals that were deliberately released into the interior of this country, thousands of them. On top of the fact that we also had another problem those that got away that we did not catch that we're clearly coming in from Iran.
So is there a real chance that sleeper sales from Iran could be activated in this country? The answer, unfortunately is yes. And who is to blame for that none other than Joe Biden and the Biden administration who deliberately opened our borders and allowed the flood of millions of illegal immigrants into this country. Tom Homan talking on Fox News about how concerned he is about this after the US strikes Iran, Take a listen.
So I put numbers this morning just from a CBP under Joe Biden, there was one two hundred and seventy two nationals Iran releasing the country between Ofo and and the Bordatroll. And you compare that to the Trump administration zero right, zero releases and right now, because of President Trump's leadership, we have the most secure border in my lifetime, most secure border in history of this nation.
So we have a secure border.
So that was a President Trump's big win on security of this nation. So we're not releasing people in this country, especially in Aliens aren't across that border undetected. But under Joe Biden, we had over ten million people cross that border. But my biggest concern from day one, beyond the fat and all beyond the sex trafficking women and children, were the two man known god aways. Over two million people
cross that border. We don't know who they are, where they came from, because they got away because Bordatrol was so overwhelmed with the humanitarian crisis that Biden created that over two million people across the border and got away. That is my biggest concern, and that's what created the biggest national security vulnerability this country's ever seen.
It's an important reminder of how thankful we should all be that Donald Trump is the president United States of America. Did he secure the southern border and protect us from possible sleeper cells that are trying to get into this country, but he's also protecting us abroad by making sure that a rand doesn't have a nuclear weapon. Yes, we can
celebrate the fact that that has happened. We also have to be careful and cautious and vigilant and pray for our men and women in uniform all at the same time.
