In the wake of Iran's latest strike on a U.S. military base in Qatar, the question is: what will the United States do in response? What will the Iranians do next? And what will President Trump do about it?
00:03:41.940Remarkable that the U.S. knew this, OK, but remarkable now what President Trump may have to do to respond to all of this.
00:03:50.100Does he just say, OK, never mind and and wait essentially until next time?
00:03:55.940But the president also was basically relying on a group of people that are not really loyalists per se, but are hawks.
00:04:06.660And he was when he made his decision, he was basing it on the intelligence assessment, for example, of General Carrillo,
00:04:13.740who commands our forces in the Middle East and Central Command.
00:04:18.120And he was relying on assessments that were more pessimistic about the possibility of Iran being able to produce bombs really quickly and a desire to.
00:04:30.780Instead of existing intelligence, including from his own office of the Directorate of National Intelligence and Tulsi Gabbard,
00:04:39.120saying they have no plans to create a nuclear bomb at this moment.
00:04:43.540And he also relied on Benjamin Netanyahu, who said to him, I think actually in a kind of a goading way, remember, they tried to kill you twice.
00:04:53.960Remember that. And that's pretty personal for Donald Trump, because when he ordered the strike in 2020 that killed the IRCG's leading general,
00:05:05.140when when that happened with Soleimani, the revenge plan for Iran was born.
00:05:11.000We mentioned Fordow, and it was Iran's decision to put 10 cascades of very advanced centrifuges in Fordow in that underground facility.
00:05:20.200This crisis could not end with all of that intact.
00:05:23.200Now, we're still waiting for the BDA, the battle damage assessment of that Fordow strike.
00:05:28.980I suspect that the centrifuges are probably totally inoperable and Fordow will not be an enrichment facility that Iran has going forward.
00:05:37.560That's good. But look, we want to stay focused here on the mission. There should not be mission creep.
00:05:42.360The mission is let's make sure Iran's nuclear program cannot be restored.
00:05:47.100If there is material diverted that has to be accounted for.
00:05:50.540I think there's a diplomatic path to ensure you can do that.
00:05:53.600But in any case, we are where we are. We did the operation 48 hours ago.
00:05:57.880We now have Iran's response. I think this is about as good as you could hope for in terms of a response.
00:06:02.540You now have a ceiling on it. But the equation here has been completely changed in terms of Iran's vulnerability, weakness and the initiative here being with the Israelis, the Americans and our partners.
00:06:13.640And I just it's almost you asked. I've been around this for some time.
00:06:18.760This is the America. I just can't overestimate. We did the attack into Iran and this is Iran's response.
00:06:27.680And they're saying that's it. This is a totally new equation.
00:06:30.360Anderson crisis will recede. But you're standing in the middle of a very new Middle East.
00:06:36.560Sometimes the military has to be used if it's used by a smart commander, chief, if it's used wisely.
00:06:42.660I can't take Levin again. Thank you. Let's go live. You're here at the war room.
00:06:47.800Jack Posobiec with me. It is Tuesday, 23. Excuse me. Monday, Monday, 23, June, or 20, 25.
00:06:55.860Let's go live to the Senate floor. Lindsey Graham still pushing. He's upselling you.
00:24:49.580The presiding officer and myself went to Saudi Arabia and Israel to talk about Saudi Arabia recognizing the Jewish state under certain conditions.
00:24:59.640Before the attack of October 7th, we were very close to expanding the Abraham Accords to include a deal between Saudi Arabia and Israel that basically would end the Arab-Israeli conflict.
00:25:16.020October 7th comes along a vicious, brutal attack on Israel by Hamas, which is fully funded by Iran, raping women, killing children in front of the parents, and doing things that we really don't need to be talking about on the floor.
00:25:32.300That was designed to stop reconciliation between Saudi Arabia and Israel because for the Iranian fanatical regime, the worst nightmare is for the Arab world to make peace with Israel and move toward the light.
00:25:48.100These people want darkness for the world.
00:26:17.820We're profoundly grateful to President Trump for his strong leadership.
00:26:21.160He also wanted me to urge the people of Iran to seize the moment, to end the nightmare you've been living.
00:26:29.780And the third thing he wanted me to tell the American people is Israel is not going to live this way anymore.
00:26:37.100They're not going to raise their children in bomb shelters.
00:26:40.500They're not going to have their life interrupted daily by ballistic missiles coming from religious Nazis who want to kill all the Jews like Hitler.
00:26:52.220They're not going to put up with that.
00:26:55.520Regime change is coming to Iran one or two ways.
00:26:59.700The regime renounces what they've been doing since 1979 and change course, or it's replaced.
00:27:10.000To expect Israel to do anything else is offensive to me.
00:27:16.440You're asking Israel to accept normal being attacked every day and every night by over 500 ballistic missiles?
00:27:26.120Over 24 Israeli citizens have been killed.
00:27:29.840The missiles going into Israel are designed to kill children.
00:27:34.240The attack by the Israelis are designed to shut down the regime's nuclear capability.
00:28:14.860I'm with them because being with them is in your own interest if you're an American.
00:28:20.320Being with them is in your own interest if you believe in religious tolerance.
00:28:27.520Being with Israel means you reject a regime that would take a 16-year-old girl off the bus and beat her to death because she didn't have a head cover.
00:28:54.640We're debating among ourselves what is too much against a regime trying to build dozens of nuclear weapons to blow people off the planet they don't like or agree with.
00:29:32.660It's about a fanatical regime that took over the country by force, that started out imprisoning Americans, been trying to build nuclear bombs, multiple nuclear bombs, has been the largest state sponsor of terrorism since 1984, has American blood on its hands, has attacked Israel over and over and over again, has suppressed its own people.
00:30:33.600Anybody that didn't fit his definition of the right kind of person was imprisoned or killed.
00:30:42.260The Aitola and his henchmen have that same view, but it's religiously driven.
00:30:47.420So what happens in the next few days is going to determine the course of history for the state of Israel and the region for decades to come.
00:30:58.620To our friends in Israel, finish the job.
00:31:02.140Do what you have to do to bring about the regime change that will allow your children to sleep through the night.
00:32:45.000If regime changes, and that's not, I just want to make sure everybody understands the bait and switch here.
00:32:51.200Bibi's been very open, including the other night, last night, that it was take out the nuclear program, stop the ballistic missile program.
00:33:07.020The Israelis, if they want to do that, if that's in their strategic interest, and they can't live like this anymore, and the mullahs are bad guys.
00:33:19.900If the Israelis want to remove them and have regime change, go for it.
00:33:24.520The ask for us, and the only ask for us, was to come in and help take out the nuclear program, of which President Trump, and I just repeat the commander-in-chief of these United States, we obliterated.
00:33:39.020And in Operation Midnight Hammer, obliterated.
00:33:43.660That is President Trump's term, obliterated.
00:33:46.920So the upsell, we need boots on the ground to find out where the material is, all of that, there's no upsell here.
00:34:24.700Hey, Steve, I think what the war room posse would see right here is a little bit of a spread between the bid and the ask.
00:34:31.540A little bit of bid-ask spread on this one.
00:34:35.140They said, no, we know what the offer is, but no, the bid is here, but the ask is way too high.
00:34:41.140Look, when it comes, and by the way, did Lindsey Graham, did I just hear him say something that Sunni and Shia will be working together to rebuild the new Iran and lift all boats?
00:34:53.080Did I just hear, just like they did in Iraq, right, Lindsey?
00:34:55.580Just like they did in Iraq when we'd be greeted as liberators, just like Iraq when it didn't break out in sectarian violence, and you had the Mahdi army, and you had al-Qaeda in Iraq, which turned into ISIS, by the way, and all this, and Muqtad al-Sadr and the rest of it.
00:35:11.360But this stuff, by the way, Steve, I want to be very clear about something.
00:35:15.860Lindsey Graham knows exactly what he's doing.
00:35:20.820The same way that Lindsey Graham destroyed our chances in the midterms of 22 when he walked up and said we're going to do a nationwide abortion ban right before the midterms, he is a paid operative.
00:35:32.760And Lindsey Graham, it doesn't matter.
00:35:34.160I could sit here and go through all of the different discrepancies and the holes in his arguments and the holes in his logic, but that's not the point.
00:35:41.780The real point, and this is why you come on war room, right?
00:36:49.760Jack Posobiec, are you saying that Israel shouldn't do what's in Israel's national security interest in putting Israel first and Israeli citizens first, sir?
00:36:58.360Well, Steve, look, I mean, this has been Israel's fight for, as Lindsey Graham mentioned, for quite some time.
00:37:06.940Obviously, the Iranian Revolution, 1979, the modern state of Israel, 1948.
00:37:11.980So this has been between the two of them for quite some time now.
00:37:16.000We know, of course, the current hostilities kicked off a week ago.
00:37:19.580But so, Steve, yeah, if they're going to continue to go at it, that's in Israel's prerogative.
00:37:26.760They have a right to self-defense just the same way any nation has a right to their self-defense.
00:37:31.880What they don't have a right to do is a right to tell the president of the United States what to do.
00:37:37.580President Donald Trump is the one in command, not anybody else.
00:37:41.660And so what I would also point out, though, is – and we've walked through this on Human Events Daily – the real issue of the order of battle,
00:37:47.920the magnitude of the expense of these air interceptor missiles, this air defense.
00:37:52.380By the way, we already cut air defense for Ukraine so we could backfill the air defense over Israel.
00:46:16.660They don't stop giving him aero missiles.
00:46:18.740So the United States is going to do as much as they can defensively, although it does make us a combatant.
00:46:23.720But, Bibi, if you guys want to go for a regime change, you don't need Lindsey Graham upselling the American people on the floor of the Senate.
00:46:55.600This July, there is a global summit of BRICS nations in Rio de Janeiro.
00:47:05.020The block of emerging superpowers, including China, Russia, India, and Persia, are meeting with the goal of displacing the United States dollar as the global currency.
00:47:18.420As BRICS nations push forward with their plans, global demand for U.S. dollars will decrease, bringing down the value of the dollar in your savings.
00:47:27.220While this transition won't not happen overnight, but trust me, it's going to start in Rio.
00:47:33.080The Rio reset in July marks a pivotal moment when BRICS objectives move decisively from a theoretical possibility towards an inevitable reality.

00:48:40.720Criminals forge your signature on one document, use a fake notary stamp, pay a small fee with your county, and boom, your home title has been transferred out of your name.
