Thanks to all of you for being with us. Right down are toll free telephone number. You want to be a part of this program, It's eight hundred and ninety four one Sean if you want to join us. We've got a lot to get to in the course of the program today all things simple. Man Bill O'Reilly will join us. Mike Lee will get an update on the Save Act. It will be coming to the Senate floor. That's progress and I hope they keep it open on the Senate floor and we'll see what the numbers are
and we will be following it regularly. Last night we had a very very important interview with the Middle Eastern Envoy Steve Witcoff.
I've known St.
Steve a long time and Steve is probably one of the most honest people you will ever meet in your life. He's very incredibly honest and very kind person. And I don't know why. He's just so well suited for the job the President gave him. He's been working with Putin and working with the Iranians and everybody between you talk about Shuttle diplomacy. I haven't even asked him how many hours he's been flying around the world. You know, here there and everywhere to try and bring about peace, which
is a noble goal. But you know, the President had said over and over again he set up before Operation Midnight Hammer, he set it before Operation at Big Fury. In Midnight Hammer, he gave the Iranians a fifty day deadline to make a piece deal. And okay, I can understand maybe the Iranians, you know, having dealt with the likes of Biden and Harris and Obama and Clinton and everybody before Trump, maybe they miscalculated and didn't think Trump
meant what he said. And sure enough, fourteen bunker buster bombs later, you know, the nuclear facilities are obliterated. Doesn't mean they didn't have some enriched uranium stored away, which
we always suspected and in fact is true. Anyway, so leading up to Epic Fury, the same thing the President and like every single day, Linda, I mean, how many times we should go back and like figure out how many times the President said he prefers a peace deal, and he invested time, energy, resources, and while he was building up our defenses in the region in case they were unwilling to make a deal, he was sending over
Steve Whitkoff Jared Kushner for the purpose of making a deal. Now, the reason this interview was so important, and I brought Steve on once before, but I went into way more detail with him in this interview last night, because there's so many lies out there, There's so many people with agendas out there. You know what I figured out. I figured out that those people and that are unhappy that Donald Trump didn't go their way, those that don't understand
the Trump doctrine. I don't know why people misinterpret the From doctrine. I agreed, no forever Wars. I agree. You know, no boots on the ground, you know, unless it's a case like Maduro and you have to get somebody. You know that we might have a situation where we have to make sure that the uranium uranium that's in Iran does not end up in the wrong hands for example. That that might be an exception, but I don't The
President is pretty firm in what he said. So anyway, Steve Wickoff and they sit down with the Uranians and he explained what happened, and he explained that that behind the scenes, they felt they had an inalienable right to enrich nuclear fuel, meaning they have an inalienable right to nuclear weapons. And obviously Steve Wickoff was pretty funny about it, and he said, you know, we have the inalienable right to tell you no. And then in the course of
this discussion a number of things came out. The Uranian negotiators proudly, may me to scare off Steve Woodcough, President Trump, I don't know, but foolishly, you know, revealed that they had four hundred and sixty kilograms of enriched uranium, which was sixty percent enrichment. Now to take sixty percent enriched uranium and turn it into weapons grade uranium ninety percent, that would take about a week to ten days. In
other words, they were ten days away. Now when I read in the paper and it was public the comment by Steve whitdcough that they were weeks away, just maybe a week or two away, I think was the exact quote from having enough enriched uranium to make nuclear weapons. At that point, I knew it was game set match, I knew it was over. I knew that the President would act. It was just my knowledge of President Trump. And there were really dumb people out there, and they're
also angry people out there. They're the dumb people are. They don't understand the Trump doctrine. They'll never understand it. They interpret the Trump doctrine, no boots on the ground, no forever wars as isolationism, and that's wrong, as evidenced by his first term again defeating the ICE's Caliphate and taking out Solemani and Bagdaddy and dropping the mother of all bombs on Afghanistan. That's not isolationism. And the President was very very clear on this, and when and after
Midnight Hammer, you would think they understand. Donald Trump says you cannot have a nuclear weapon. Now, I played a montage yesterday. I can replay it now of all the Democrats over the years that have said repeatedly with nothing, nothing to back it up, except in the case of Obama and Biden, cargo planes full of cash and other currency, billions of dollars, which help them build out their nuclear weaponry, help foment terror in the region, help them build out
their massive ballistic missile systems and air defense systems. But every Democrat said exactly what Donald Trump did. Listen, Okay, they need a second They didn't have it. You weren't listening to the show because they gave you like thirty seconds lead into it. But the point is I don't think they were listening. And the difference is Donald Trump is not Obama, he's not Clinton, he's not Biden. And he's a man of his own mind and everybody. He
listens to everybody. I mean, he knows exactly what people are thinking. You know my understanding. There were people in his inner circle that were dead set against this, and yet he did it anyway. He made the choice. And this is the frustrating part because they will have you believe that Donald Trump was acting at the behest of
bb nets in Yahoo. No, this is in America's best interest, and the President said as much when he said this is about future generations, and future generations should not be burdened with a nuclear armed Iran. And if you don't believe the Iranians are capable of using it and you're willing to take that risk, that I just strongly and fundamentally disagree with you. We live in a free country. You can have your own opinions, but your opinions could be wrong. And I think this is a clear and
present danger. And I asked wik cough Outum, I'm going to play the whole interview later in the program.
Anyway we have it, let's play it.
We will not allow Iran to acquire a nuclear weapon.
If I'm the president, we will attack Iran whatever stage of development they might be in their nuclear weapons program in the next ten years, during which they might foolishly consider launching an attack on Israel. We would be able to totally obliterate them. That's a terrible thing to say, but those people who run Iran need to understand it.
Make no mistake, a nuclear armed Iran is not a challenge that can be contained. It would threaten the elimination of Israel, the security of god nations, and the stability of the global economy at risks triggering a nuclear arms race in the region and the unraveling of the Non Proliferation Treaty. That's why a coalition of countries is holding the Iranian government accountable, and that's why the United States will do what we must to prevent Iran from obtaining a nuclear weapon.
Look, I mean, Iran has American blood on her hands, okay, and what we saw in terms of just this attack on Israel two hundred ballistic missiles. What we need to do to ensure that Iran never achieves the ability to be a nuclear power. That is one of my highest priorities.
That you really it really is amazing, isn't it. But the difference is the way they dealt with it is, Oh, let us give you billions in cash and other currency, will fly right into Iran for you in cargo planes. Thank you very much for the money. Now we can fonment more terrorism, you know, as wikoff and again I'll play the interview later. You know, beyond twenty percent in Richmond serves no civilian purposes. Now, this is the other part of the offer, which shows the seriousness with which
the President Trump wanted a deal. And they would offer as much civilian use uranium as the Iranians would want for civilian purposes. Obviously, you'd need any place, anywhere, anytime inspections, so they couldn't begin the process of secretly enriching that uranium and then went back to where we started. That could never be a part of the deal, however, but as much civilian use low grade enriched uranium im perpetuity
for free, and the Iranians rejected it. At that point you can only conclude that they learn nothing from Operation Midnight Hammer deadlines mean nothing to them, and then that led to this, and then people want to say, well, but it Israel called the president.
And this is where I go back to the lessons of history.
I was on with the Ruthles podcast Guys Linda after the show yesterday and I taped the segment with him, and I just said, I wrote a whole book about this, and I've been saying this. You know, if you don't recognize evil and take it seriously, when people say death to Israel, death to America, you have to ask yourself if you're willing to take that chance. Are you willing to risk potentially a modern day Holocaust? Number one state sponsor of terror? Have they obviously have been flementing terror
in the region forever. They have been funding their proxies thanks to the money Biden Obama gave them. And now we're on the brink of a nuclear armed Doran. Now, for those that don't understand the mindset of convert or die, and the mindset that if you strap bombs on young kids and send them to kill and women and children, that you're doing the will of God and you'll be rewarded or I'll you'll be rewarded with seventy two virgins in heaven.
That's a very that's a death cult.
And the idea that some are willing to risk putting this burden on future generations with a nuclear armed Duran it is to me, it is foolish, it is stupid. It is ignorant of history. It's ignorant of Mao in China, Stalin and Russia, Hitler in Germany Italy and fascism and Mussolini. And it is ignorant of Tojo in Japan. It is ignorant of Polepot and the killing fields in the last century, over one hundred million people killed. Now, if you look at this through the prism of history, well, we need
to win threats like this emerge. Ask yourself, is it in our best national interest, America's interest, America's first interest to take this threat out, neutralize it while you can, before you risk the deaths of potentially hundreds of thousands of people. And I think that the President made the right call. And I made that argument and the lead up. But that's my argument. You know, people in the media he listened to Sean Hannity and Fox. I mean, they
don't know Donald Trump. If they think that just like when they would say listen to Bebie Linda. You know Donald Trump, and we've now covered him for all these years on the on the world stage, and I was one of his earliest supporters. Do you think anybody can convince Donald Trump to do one thing that he does not want to do one thing?
No.
You remember he had a nickname for one particular individual, and he was floating that nickname for a long time, like don't do it, don't don't, don't, don't do it. And then he you know, he listened, he heard me, but he did what he wanted. And it's just it's just so asinine. And I'm going to tell you what else has happened. And there is a little bit deeper a thing going on here. There are people around him that are angry. They're angry, and there are people that
you know, have been fairweather friends supporters. They're angry. They're angry as hell, to be honest with you, because they tried to make their case they were willing to gamble that the Iranians could have nuclear weapons. It's not in America's first interest and said, I don't know what their interpretation is. I think it's naive and frankly ignorant of history and downright stupid. But that's that's you know, we live in a free country. You can express your views.
But I think they're angry. They did make the case, they did plead with him, and Donald Trump made up his own mind. He'd listen to his intelligence community, John Ratcliffe and others. He listened to a Secretary of State, he listened to a Secretary of War. He listened to General Kane, the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs, and he had information that I didn't have. Ultimately, it's the president that has the information that that will lead to the decision,
the war planning, everything that goes along with us. Anyway, That's where we find ourselves anyway, Linda, I think there's just a lot of angry people out there. They didn't get their way. I don't know why that. Some people.
I don't know. I've you know, I think.
Of my father fighting in World War Two, and my father didn't love being in the Pacific. He didn't like it at all. Then he lost a lot of his friends and he never wanted to talk about it. I used to beg him to talk about it. He wouldn't talk about it, And now I understand why. I had an uncle that you know, would be a sleep He fought World War two, and this uncle, if a plane flew overhead at night in his sleep, would roll under the bed like not even aware, not even awake, not
even awhere he's doing it. I mean that's when I learned. They didn't have a name for it then. But PTSD is real. This stays with you, it never goes away. The price of freedom has been so high. But if we don't learn from the lessons of history, we are doomed to repeat them. It's that simple, and I don't want our children and grandchildren. They fought that war so that we would have a safer America. That's why they fought it. They fought it because there was evil in
their time, and there's always evil now. The lessons of history are, if there is an emerging threat, I think the Trump doctrine is correct, you know, take that threat out while you have an opportunity, before you risk mass death. It would be the greatest failure my view of our generation of leadership if we saw the threat of radical Mullahs in Iran number one state sponsor of terror, chanting death to America working so hard to get nuclear weapons.
We had a chance to neutralize it without having hundreds of thousands, god knows, maybe potentially millions of deaths, and we didn't do it. That would for in my mind, that would forever be you know, first I would blame you know, Biden and Obama, But if it happened on Trump's watch, I guarantee that history would not be kind to him nor and I think the President understands. We've got to learn the lessons of history.
And it's sad.
I wish there wasn't evil. When I went on to Deliver Us from Evil tour, you know, I said, it's very hard for good people to wrap their minds around the fact that there are that there is evil, But there is. You know, the Bible tell us lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. Those aren't just words. You know, Jesus tempted, you know, after forty days fasting, and you know, I'll give you the whole world, the devil says, and you know, Satan, you know, get law.
I don't think that's an exact quote from the Bible, is it, Linda?
I mean it sounded good to me. You definitely had a heck of a time paraphrasing there.
That was fun. I enjoyed it. That was well, you get the point. But I wish this didn't happen.
I wish we didn't have to put our national treasure in harms way ever, but it's not realistic. By the way, the President again demanding, and I think Australia, to their credit, has stepped up to the plate. These Iranian what were they soccer players? I think there were soccer players. The Asian Cup and was in Australia and the Iranian women's soccer teams stood silently with their hands by their sides,
refusing to sing the Iranian national anthem. Subsequently, the women signed SOS signals as the team was boarding a tour bus. They knew a target was on their back. Trump immediately were immediately responded, I'll call on Australia to grant asylum to these women. If Australia, for Australia will not do it, the United States will. And the Iranian women's soccer team removed their jobs as soon as they're granted. Were granted a sale asylum in Australia. It was never a choice.
Ninety nine percent of women in Iran. You know, we'll also take off their jobs if this Islamic regime falls. One thing that's going to have to happen eventually. And I don't know if you saw a Prime Minister net Tan Yahoo's quote, Linda, did you happen to see it? He tells the Iranian people now, whenever President Trump says, seize the moment, this may be once in a generation opportunity.
The President is not about nation building. This is gonna eventually end up in the hands of the Iranian people and the Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin nettya who knows that as well. We quoted yesterday the President of Israel Hersag made the statement that now he doesn't expect either Orranian, Israeli or American troops on the ground. The only operation I could see may happen for is if there is sixty percent in enrich uranium. That can't end up in
the wrong hands. But anyway, the Prime Minister sent a message to the people in Iran on a post on x implying that conditions for a revolution against the regime would soon be met and the Iranian people would then have the opportunity to pursue regime change change.
Quote.
Your dreams will become a reality when the time is right, and that time is fast approaching. We will pass the torch to you. Be ready to seize the moment. Really echoing President Trump's initial statements, and the President also saying this is about the future, and Trump intends to go all the way with this move. Senior in Israeli intelligence officials telling the Jerusalem Post the US intended to continue.
And you know, as Pete Hegseth and Raising Kine, the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs, have been saying the US strike on Iranian oil. Their biggest hub, which is carg Island, handles ninety to ninety five percent of Iran's crewed exports and sits near critical the Strait of Horr moves. By the way, Jerusalem Post is reporting now. First of all, they had a tough time electing obviously, this special council that they put together that's in charge of picking the
new Supreme Leader. You know, they wiped out the initial right during the initial vote, they knew where everybody was. This is after they wiped out the Supreme Leader and all the top leadership in Iran. But Iranian State television reported that the son of the Supreme Leader now the new Supreme Leader, has been wounded. Though the broadcast didn't provide details about the circumstances the injury the severity, it didn't indicate when the injury occurred or whether it affected
as day to day responsibility. I don't know, Linda. I don't think I want the job as Supreme Leader. Do you want that job? I think i'll pass.
I would actually jobs hard. I'm going to go in there.
I'm gonna change at all in the war tomorrow.
Oh boy, no more berkinis in Iran. I'll tell you what. Put me in, Coach, I'm ready put me in. What would you do, Linda? Tell me how you would rearrange the government.
I would.
I would give everybody back their rights. I would make it a full republic. It's a democracy if you can keep it right. I would allow them to have open and fair elections. They could elect the person that makes the most sense.
For the republic, if you can keep it quoting I said it backwards.
Whatever, moving on, so we'll get everybody to go. We would have election integrity. We put all the things in places they never suffer from what we got going on here with the same America Act, and we would get everybody the right, we'd eradicate Irgc. We'd have no more influence from any of these Hamases and Hesbalahs and Houtis and Kurds. It would be their own country. They would be able to go back to the way it was when Persia was the way of Iran. It would be amazing, would be.
A better Iran, It'd be a safer world us. By the way, he is sending B fifty two bombers to Iran, it's still America's deadly as weapon, seventy years of service. B fifty two's remember b We used to call him b one, Bob Dornan. I loved Bob Dornon. Bob Dornan was great. Iran's missile fire rate has collapsed by ninety two percent. That is an unbelievable. Operation Roaring Lion Epic Fury from March ninth with a scenario, you know, modeling
through March twenty third. Anyway, the anti missile battery fire inception. You know, it's going at a much better rate. I mean, and God bless our brave men and women. I mean, it's the greatest military on the face of the earth, and to watch the precision the intelligence gathering capabilities of both nations and United Forces. And then you have to
ask yourself. By the huge crowds are now gathering in Tehran for a pro regime funeral anyway, for the Iranian military commanders who are killed in strikes, I assume you're going to have holdovers. That's going to raise, you know, the specter of Okay, how do the people You can't win a revolution with a slingshot. And I've been bringing this point up for a long time too.
Central.
By the way, did you check the price of a barrel of oil? Because it went down dramatically yesterday. What is it up?
It's at eighty five ninety five.
It's up.
Okay, so it's a little bit up from yesterday, but nowhere near the heights where it was one point fifteen. US Central Command issued a warning to civilians that the Iranian regime is using civilian ports along the Straightahorn Moves to conduct military operations that threaten international shipping. US forces urging civilians in Iran who immediately avoid all port facilities where Iranian Navy forces are operating. I mean they already took out like twenty of their ships that we were
in the region. I mean, they've there's always been the threat that they will mine that. Considering out, I guess it's anywhere between twenty and thirty thirty three percent of the world's oil supply passes through there on any one given day. And you know that's why this, you know, an island a third the size of New York City,
controls virtually all Iranian crude oil exports. It's car Island, sixteen miles off the Iranian coast and the Persian Gulf, making it difficult to defend and easier to isolate, reportedly drawing the attention of the administration. We'll see what happens with that. Tom Cotton puts Biden on notice while demanding answers on draining the nation's oil stockpile. Well, we know I did it. He did it for the mid term elections in twenty twenty two. That's not a surprise.
You know.
Trump says the US military completely destroyed ten inactive mind laying boats.
Now it's twenty.
As of today, over five thousand military targets have been hit. And they do every day gets they get more our attacks get bigger and more effective and stronger and more targeted. I mean, it is unbelievable. They are incredible. And by and if you wonder about the President wanting one point five trillion dollars for the military, understand, we need the next generation a weaponry. You're seeing it unfolds here.
And it is.
You know, we're lucky that we have had people like Donald Trump in office. Ronald Reagan built up our nation's military. Might you know people laughed at strategic defense. They laughed at Reagan, they made fun of them. They called it star Wars. You turned on the media, the legacy media mob, and the legacy media mob would do what they always do.
They'd create their little you know, animation of rockets being you know, missiles being taken out of the year and it's star Wars and they were making fun of it. Guess what, Star Wars is a reality. That's why the president's vision per Golden Dome to protect the entire United States and maybe the world and share it is incredible. Anyway, so the new Supreme Leader is injured and and we're
watching events on the ground. Our prayers or thoughts of with all of those people that put themselves in harm's way, is very very very dangerous. What they what they have to do, and the success has been incredible. President Trump said, after oh, I guess they they I guess he spoke to the families. We've lost seven Americans so far, and he said the message that he keeps getting from the families, don't let them die in vain. Finish the job because
they understand. The military has a different mindset, different understanding. At least that's been my life experience. When I talk to people in the military, you know, they they understand the danger of the mission, they know what they sign up for, but they understand that this is about something bigger, longer term thinking, strategic thinking. And you know, we'll never know how many lives may have been saved by preventing a Ran from ever getting a nuclear weapon.
We'll never know.
Unbelievable, they're you know, you talk about selfless, you talk about great Americans, you talk about the best of the best, and that's it.
Uh, It's unbelievable.
