Bannon's War Room - WarRoom Special： US Attack On Iran’s Nuclear Sites; Trump Addresses The Nation

00:00:00.040 Obliterated. Iran, the bully of the Middle East, must now make peace. If they do not, 1.00

00:00:06.680 future attacks will be far greater and a lot easier. For 40 years, Iran has been saying

00:00:12.540 death to America, death to Israel. They have been killing our people, blowing off their arms, 1.00

00:00:18.920 blowing off their legs with roadside bombs. That was their specialty. We lost over a thousand

00:00:24.880 people and hundreds of thousands throughout the Middle East and around the world have died as a

00:00:31.000 direct result of their hate. In particular, so many were killed by their general, Qasem Soleimani.

00:00:39.120 I decided a long time ago that I would not let this happen. It will not continue. I want to thank

00:00:46.320 and congratulate Prime Minister Bibi Netanyahu. We worked as a team like perhaps no team has ever

00:00:53.380 worked before and we've gone a long way to erasing this horrible threat to Israel. I want to thank 1.00

00:01:00.240 the Israeli military for the wonderful job they've done. And most importantly, I want to congratulate

00:01:06.240 the great American patriots who flew those magnificent machines tonight and all of the

00:01:11.900 United States military on an operation the likes of which the world has not seen in many, many decades.

00:01:17.760 Hopefully, we will no longer need their services in this capacity. I hope that's so.

00:01:24.560 I also want to congratulate the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, General Dan Raisin-Kane,

00:01:30.620 spectacular general, and all of the brilliant military minds involved in this attack.

00:01:36.560 With all of that being said, this cannot continue. There will be either peace or there will be tragedy

00:01:42.760 for Iran far greater than we have witnessed over the last eight days. Remember, there are many targets

00:01:50.120 left. Tonight's was the most difficult of them all, by far, and perhaps the most lethal. But if peace does

00:01:58.880 not come quickly, we will go after those other targets with precision, speed, and skill. Most of them

00:02:07.260 can be taken out in a matter of minutes. There's no military in the world that could have done what we

00:02:12.880 did tonight, not even close. There has never been a military that could do what took place just a

00:02:18.960 little while ago. Tomorrow, General Kane, Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth, will have a press conference

00:02:26.640 at 8 a.m. at the Pentagon. And I want to just thank everybody, and in particular, God, I want to just say

00:02:35.620 say, we love you, God, and we love our great military. Protect them. God bless the Middle East. God bless

00:02:42.560 Israel. And God bless America. Thank you very much. Thank you.

00:02:52.420 There you have it. We may want to play that again. Matt Boyle, an interesting talk. I'm not quite sure the

00:03:00.340 talk that a lot of MAGA wanted to hear. I think it sounded like an open-ended, either

00:03:07.980 they, I don't know, shut down the nuclear power facilities, kind of open-ended, or give up or

00:03:15.820 surrender. A very open-ended, isn't that, Matt Boyle? I think it was a pretty strong statement from

00:03:23.200 President Trump. The one thing I'll say is there was a lot of talk in that very short statement

00:03:28.220 there. And I did find it interesting that he was flanked by Vice President Vance, Secretary Rubio,

00:03:35.420 and Secretary Hegseth during that address, instead of coming out by himself. And I think that all of

00:03:42.040 those folks are key players. There are others beyond them throughout the administration. But I found that

00:03:48.600 a lot of the talk about future strikes or anything like that to be something that I think people are

00:03:55.240 going to want a lot of clarity on. But in addition to that, I thought the message to Iran was pretty

00:04:00.180 clear, right? I mean, the fact is that the United States is saying quite clearly here that they've

00:04:07.260 accomplished their objective, right? Like Iran's nuclear facilities, according to President Trump

00:04:12.080 in this address, and our military leadership. And we're going to hear more from Secretary Hegseth and

00:04:17.080 the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, General Cain, tomorrow morning. They're saying that the

00:04:22.540 president saying this, and the statements that we're seeing out there are saying this, that Iran's

00:04:27.240 nuclear facilities are a thing of the past. So if that's the case, then Iran very clearly should 1.00

00:04:34.900 just take a deal with the United States, because what's the holdup, right? Like, so they don't have

00:04:39.900 nuclear enrichment facilities anymore, according to President Trump. So I think that the Iranians 1.00

00:04:45.880 are in a pretty tough position right now, and President Trump's remarks really captured that.

00:04:51.940 But again, the lot of talk there in that very short speech about future strikes seems to have

00:04:59.420 concerns. I would imagine that a lot of people in the American First Movement are concerned about

00:05:05.380 a prolonged war. So hopefully the president's push for peace here ends up being successful. And there's

00:05:11.840 every reason to believe that it will be, because the president said quite clearly that they don't

00:05:19.040 have nuclear facilities anymore. So if they don't have nuclear enrichment facilities anymore,

00:05:22.960 then there's not much of a disagreement between the two sides, right? Like, so then one would think

00:05:28.800 a peace deal could be made.

00:05:29.860 I think, but hang on. I think, I think that's the, I think that's, look, it was supposedly a surgical

00:05:35.960 strike. You use the bust, the, the bunker busters, right? For the Fedor facility, they use the tomahawks.

00:05:44.420 And I think there was what, 20 to 30 tomahawks fired from U.S. Navy submarines, correct? Against the other two

00:05:51.960 facilities. Obviously the, the Fedor was the, uh, uh, Fordow was the, uh, the most important. Of course,

00:05:59.740 Iranian media, and look, you're in, you're in information warfare land now, but they're reporting,

00:06:03.700 hey, they got the, they got the security doors at the front, but, uh, nothing else. We'll have to see

00:06:08.520 the bomb damage assessment. And of course, tomorrow morning at 8 a.m. Eastern daylight time, uh, general,

00:06:14.060 the chief, a joint chief of staff chairman, General Raisin Cain, who was president Trump's hammer

00:06:19.080 during the first term to take down the ISIS caliphate. That's the way, that's where they

00:06:23.980 got the working relationship. He really thinks the world of him. Um, and Pete Hegseth, they're

00:06:28.880 going to give a, uh, an assessment, I guess, a detailed assessment on the bomb, bomb damage

00:06:33.340 assessment. But it was, I mean, is he looking for, since the facilities have been destroyed,

00:06:39.800 is he looking for them to sign now a deal? They're not going to stay up? Because I think the

00:06:43.600 concerning part, at least the part that's open-ended is these additional strikes, right?

00:06:49.080 He was pretty adamant. I think he might be sending a message, too. Steve, I think he might

00:06:53.380 be trying to, to, to try to, uh, deter any significant Iranian response here, right? There 0.92

00:06:59.520 are still American bases and military assets and, and frankly, civilians throughout the Middle East,

00:07:05.280 uh, that, and, and, and here, too, in the United States. I mean, I think there is likely to be a lot

00:07:12.440 of concern among Americans here about, uh, at home, about possible cyber attacks, about possible,

00:07:18.980 uh, sleeper cells, uh, that are, uh, you know, Iranian-aligned folks, uh, Hezbollah-aligned

00:07:24.740 folks maybe here, uh, domestically in the United States. Uh, and there, there's, there's, you know,

00:07:30.280 I think he's trying to deter that. He's trying to send a message to the Iranians, I think, there, 1.00

00:07:35.300 by saying, all right, we're done. We did what we wanted to do. There's nothing else coming unless you

00:07:40.760 guys do something more. So the, uh, I think that it's a pretty clear message. I think the president's

00:07:47.340 pretty strong here in response. Um, I mean, look, events will determine what happens next. It's

00:07:53.540 still the middle of the night in Iran, um, and it's getting pretty late here on the East coast. So

00:07:58.280 the, the, the fact is, is that I don't think we'll have an answer tonight. It's not, it's not the

00:08:03.260 middle of the night in Iran. I think it's actually coming to, I think it's, I think it's sunrise or

00:08:06.880 beyond. Right. I think it's, you know, I have to keep Googling what time is it in Iran. So, um,

00:08:14.020 they, uh, but the point is that, uh, you know, what Iranian Iran's response looks like, if any,

00:08:19.960 I think the president trying to deter a significant Iranian response. And that's why I think he was 1.00

00:08:26.240 being, uh, as aggressive and belligerent and talking about a future strikes, uh, in those remarks.

00:08:33.880 But I do think that the president made it clear that he achieved the objective and he doesn't

00:08:38.800 want this to continue. The president is saying he doesn't want this to continue. The only way

00:08:43.320 things continue, uh, with any American involvement here is if the Iranians want it to continue.

00:08:48.920 Right. Like, and I think that, uh, you know, as this progresses from here, we'll see if events,

00:08:53.720 uh, you know, uh, uh, shape out that way or not.

00:08:58.280 What was your sense when you talked to congressional leaders? Like I said, most of them had not been

00:09:02.560 right into this. A few, I think were, I don't even know brief, but given a heads up, uh, where

00:09:07.360 do they stand? Uh, so I've talked to a few different Senate offices and house offices in

00:09:12.880 the time since I left the studio and came back home to, uh, come in live here and watch the

00:09:18.660 president. Um, they were saying that, uh, the generally speaking, they're very supportive,

00:09:24.820 uh, across the board. I haven't talked to any Republicans who are not, uh, they wanted to

00:09:29.300 get a sense of where the base is at. Uh, and I, I kind of told them, I'm like, I think that if this

00:09:34.420 is it, then, then I think people will be pretty supportive of that. The question is, is will it

00:09:39.780 drag out into a longer drawn out conference? Yeah. I'm not so sure about that. I think there are a

00:09:45.080 number of, particularly under 35, I think they got to be brought along and it's got to be explained

00:09:49.720 in more depth, particularly why Israel didn't do this. I just think you got to do it. Right. I can tell

00:09:54.920 on the, I can tell the live chats. There's some work to do. I, it's interesting that Rish tonight

00:10:00.360 would Rish you pulled and when Rish said no, no more forever wars, we're not doing any more than

00:10:05.780 this. I mean, he was more adamant, right. Then other people we've heard tonight. Anyway, Matt,

00:10:10.980 can you hang on? I realize it's late, uh, but I want to pick your brain some more, uh, short commercial

00:10:15.940 break. Uh, of course the great Johnny Context is out with American heart. We're going to be around

00:10:20.080 8am tomorrow morning. We'll figure out who has the morning duty. Somebody's got to, on a Sunday

00:10:25.360 morning, somebody's got to be there for Pete Hegseth. And, um, and Raising King, the chairman

00:10:31.080 of the Joint Chiefs of Staff will give a bomb damage assessment of exactly what went on, uh,

00:10:37.400 tonight in, uh, in, uh, in Persia with a, a hit by the United States military, United States

00:10:43.100 Navy with Tomahawk missiles from submarines and then bunker busters from the, uh, from the

00:10:49.540 Air Force. Short commercial break. We're back in real America's voice, the war room

00:10:53.100 on a historic Saturday night. We have been, we've been joined now the Israeli Persian war 0.80

00:10:59.840 as a combatant on a Saturday night in June. Short break. Back in a moment.

00:11:05.200 You can look inside. Cause I think you changed already. You went and lost your pride. But I'm American

00:11:19.460 made. I got American partner. I got American babe. In America's heart. Go on, raise the flag.

00:11:49.460 A couple hours ago on the air. And I think that, uh, and I've expressed this to, uh, several

00:12:00.000 Republican leaders on Capitol Hill that their statements need to be clear as well. Uh, one

00:12:05.520 of the things I've heard from a lot of people is, is that they, you know, again, the president

00:12:09.400 seems to be saying that America's role here is finished unless Iran, uh, does something

00:12:14.080 to drag America further in. Uh, and, uh, a lot of senators are saying. Whoa, whoa, whoa. Hold

00:12:20.960 it. But full stop, full stop, full stop, full stop. Of course, Iran is going to try to hang 1.00

00:12:25.980 back. I mean, this is how these things go. This is the law of unintended consequences.

00:12:29.420 This has got to be prepared for. It's either a tactical strike. We did it. And now it's BBs.

00:12:34.920 This is what I was concerned about in the talk. It was some open-ended, Hey, if you come back,

00:12:39.940 you're going to get hit again. And, you know, we worked as a team and, uh, you know, we knew

00:12:43.900 about this, this, this is the way this is incrementalism. If I'm, if they hit back at

00:12:48.740 American troops or do we go back in and hit again, next thing you know, brother, you're 0.60

00:12:53.060 in a forever war. Am I, am I incorrect in that? Well, that's the, that's the slippery slope

00:12:58.640 to be concerned about and events will determine whether or not those concerns, uh, play out or

00:13:04.400 not. Right. Like, and so, um, that's the question at this point. I, we don't know the answer

00:13:09.280 to that right now. We only know what we know. We know what the president said. We know what

00:13:12.720 the, uh, the, uh, others have said. We know what the president just came out and, uh, you

00:13:17.640 know, uh, uh, uh, the, the threats he just made, uh, to the Iranians just now in that,

00:13:22.080 uh, address from the white house. Uh, we're, we're going to learn a lot more tomorrow morning,

00:13:26.160 I think from the secretary of defense and from the, the, uh, the chairman of the joint chiefs

00:13:30.280 of staff. We're going to, we're, we'll see, like, we don't know yet. It's the sun's rising

00:13:34.860 in Iran right now. So what are they going to do in response? There's a lot of unknown

00:13:38.520 questions right now, but I do think that, you know, for, for now. So, you know, we'll

00:13:45.000 see if this is, ends up being it, uh, and this ends up being just like the Soleimani strike,

00:13:50.040 uh, and it's a very targeted thing. And then we're moving on, then it, it probably works out

00:13:55.300 for president Trump. So we'll see. Well, I, I don't know yet. Like there's a lot of unknown,

00:13:59.580 uh, uh, things here and I'm not entirely certain where it goes from here. Well, we'll start with

00:14:05.180 the bomb damage assessment, uh, tomorrow morning. How about that? Matt Boyle, Matt Boyle, where they

00:14:10.180 go on, uh, where they go with, uh, for all your social media. Yeah. Just at M Boyle one on X Twitter,

00:14:17.240 uh, and then, uh, real at real Matt Boyle on true social. And then just go to Breitbart.com. Our team

00:14:23.400 is working very hard. I'm working with all of our reporters. We've got tons of stories going up on

00:14:27.640 Breitbart right now. Um, so yeah, uh, we're working very hard through the night here. Uh,

00:14:32.840 exciting stuff. And, uh, what a time, Steve, I was, I was glad to join you there for several hours

00:14:37.980 live and, uh, exciting, exciting, exciting, exciting stuff. Never a dull moment. And thank,

00:14:44.260 and thank, and thank, and thank you for doing it, brother. Appreciate you. You get some sleep.

00:14:48.740 That was a full day. Matt Boyle. Wow. You got Brian Glenn. Let's go to the great Brian Glenn.

00:14:54.500 Brian, your beat is the White House. Uh, walk me through what you, uh, saw and heard tonight.

00:15:01.220 Yeah, Steve, thanks for having me on, uh, on this Saturday night, historic Saturday night, no less.

00:15:06.560 Uh, as soon as I received word of what we did, uh, with that B-52 and those bunker busters,

00:15:12.640 uh, going deep into the earth there, uh, causes damage. And like you said, we'll find out tomorrow

00:15:17.880 exactly the extent of that damage. I immediately started getting messages from not only industry

00:15:24.020 colleagues, but people that live overseas, people that live actually right outside where NATO will

00:15:29.460 take place on Tuesday and Wednesday of next week. And they were saying, what does this look like

00:15:35.060 for the world right now? What does it look like for peace amongst the world? And I agree with you,

00:15:39.620 Steve, 1000% here. Where, where does this lead the US? Uh, if, if Iran was to retaliate at, at any side,

00:15:49.860 it could be at a military base around the world. It could be some, you know, suicide bomber here in

00:15:54.980 the States that would, uh, uh, injure or God forbid, kill Americans. Does that drag us into another war?

00:16:03.460 And I like what you said. It's almost like we can turn to the Israeli military and their government

00:16:09.540 and say, okay, we did what we, no one else could do. This is your fight from here. You guys take

00:16:18.180 over. We did what no one else could do with the B 52s. But Steve, what I'm reading online,

00:16:24.020 and I'm sure you're hearing as well, uh, and I've been trying to keep up with this as much as possible.

00:16:28.500 The base is, for the better part, a split base right now. They, they trust President Trump. They

00:16:37.540 support President Trump no matter what. That's why we elected him. He's a leader. He's a very, uh,

00:16:44.420 determined leader and he makes really tough decisions, but they are just worried that we

00:16:50.580 don't get dragged into another war if they retaliate. And, and Steve, I think we're sniffing glue.

00:16:57.780 If we don't think that they're going to try and, uh, and, and punch back at the U S that's, 0.53

00:17:03.700 that's just us being too, uh, optimistic thinking that they would not do that. So if they do,

00:17:10.340 where does it go from there? And I, we know there's not a better president in the office,

00:17:15.380 in my opinion. And I think you would agree that is the strongest military, uh, supporter that exists

00:17:23.140 that would defend this country and Americans. But I don't want us to get to that. And what I'm

00:17:27.940 reading, Steve, Americans are very concerned that this might lead us into the next war.

00:17:34.180 Well, the opportunity costs, I just, Iranian TV is saying, I think the out,

00:17:38.020 Ayatollah or whoever is there speaking for him is saying, Hey, we're not stopping. This only hit the

00:17:42.580 doors. It's not a big deal. Of course, remember this is information where for everything they say

00:17:47.140 is a lie. Um, and that they're going to, um, they're going to continue their enrichment program.

00:17:54.100 So right there, they're challenging president Trump, at least now when they first come out

00:17:57.780 acting tough. Also, uh, some sites in Israel are saying that, quoting the American officials,

00:18:04.580 really president, if the Iranian regime attacks Americans, the regime will not get to stay in 0.84

00:18:08.660 power. That's regime change. I think that's, what's got to really be watched here is incrementalism

00:18:14.820 and up the escalatory ladder. I think president Trump, and correct me if I'm wrong, um, uh, brother,

00:18:20.900 uh, Brian, uh, do they, uh, president Trump, I think, try to propose this as a surgical,

00:18:27.700 tactical precision strike that he had a very, a very set, uh, of objectives, uh, to hit, um,

00:18:36.420 to hit, um, for door. Now let's be blunt. The Israelis told us over and over again that they 0.93

00:18:43.380 could take care of the other two facilities. Yet we had 20 to 30 Tomahawk missiles from

00:18:47.860 U S Navy submarines. So we expanded, although it was precision, we expanded beyond the original

00:18:54.100 target set that people talked about. Is that not true? So we are now, even on this precision

00:18:59.460 strike, a deeper combatant. This is, and in the speech and it hasn't been lost in the,

00:19:04.900 it hasn't been lost in the chat that he thanked Bibi Netanyahu, who I would think right now,

00:19:10.660 at least the war room's position is the last guy on earth you should thank,

00:19:14.020 right? Because I think, I don't think we've been dealing from the top of the deck.

00:19:18.420 The question has got to be, why did we send the Tomahawks onto the other nuclear facilities? 0.51

00:19:22.500 That was the only question here was the Americans, you know, it's Kayleigh McEnany's one swoop,

00:19:27.860 right? One swoop at Fedora. Now we're engaged in a broader, uh, set of combat, uh, targets, uh,

00:19:34.980 and you got the U S Navy now doing Tomahawks, right? So it shows you got to finish what you started. I

00:19:41.940 mean, obviously the Israelis bit off more than they could chew. Let's just be blunt. 1.00

00:19:47.620 The Americans came tonight under President Trump in a, in a, in a target package. And I think he's

00:19:52.020 sitting there going, Hey, this is it. I want you guys to stand down. Now, if they don't,

00:19:56.420 if the Iranians don't stand down, that's what's going to get, uh, that's when it's going to get 1.00

00:20:01.620 interesting. I do think that the first order of business is actually get a detailed briefing by

00:20:06.820 Pete, uh, Hegseth and by, um, the chairman of the joint chiefs of staff, general

00:20:12.900 Raisin Kane. I tell you what, Brian, can you hang around? We got David here at the white house.

00:20:17.140 Brian Glenn is with me. May have, uh, we may have Posa with us. Uh, you know, it's late at night. I

00:20:22.500 don't know if you're going to get Eric Prince. I think he's in bed by this time. We're going to try

00:20:26.100 to do it all modern day. Holy war takes us out. What a, what a amazing song to take us out here

00:20:32.820 at the bottom of the hour. We're approaching 10 30 president Trump. The talk was only about five

00:20:38.020 minutes. Um, and, uh, you know, it's, it was not your typical president Trump talk, but he addressed

00:20:44.820 the nation very forcefully. And I think addressed the Iranian leadership very forcefully short commercial

00:20:52.180 break. We're back in the war room, uh, in just a moment.

00:20:57.860 In this world that we live in. There are secrets that I hid in. I can tell you why, but you gotta believe.

00:21:10.980 You gotta believe. Believe.

00:21:16.900 You gotta believe.

00:21:18.900 Open your eyes. No time to be blind. Open your mind to see. We're in a modern day. Holy war. Coming

00:21:30.900 after your mind to find your soul. Oh, oh, oh, it's true. Modern day. Holy war. Tells your blood.

00:21:45.700 Welcome. I want to thank our sponsor, Birch gold, birchgold.com. I think it's going to be turbulent

00:21:53.380 on Monday. I'm just tossing that out there. Maybe I've warned you guys go to the end of the dollar

00:21:59.620 empire. Now the bricks more than ever. You think Iran's going to put their shoulder to the wheel 1.00

00:22:03.940 in Rio? I think so. I think you've tipped over a horn's nest tonight. Uh, birchgold.com. Go check

00:22:10.660 it out. Promo code Bannon. End of the dollar empire. Talk to Philip Patrick and the team. Do it this

00:22:15.140 weekend. Get online and get it because Monday it's going to be rip-roaring. Uh, Jack Posovic.

00:22:20.980 Uh, I'm going to go back to the White House. David Zier is there. He's hearing all kind of

00:22:24.580 information. Zier is plugged in all over the region, uh, and knows this, uh, Islamic jihad

00:22:30.180 better than anybody. Uh, Brian Glenn's going to stick with us, our main guy at the White House.

00:22:34.820 Jack Posovic joins us. Poso, uh, I'm, I'm not quite understanding the, the, the target set here.

00:22:42.180 The other two facilities, I thought Israel was taking those. And I don't know why the United

00:22:46.500 States Navy had to hit it with 30 Tomahawk. Uh, don't get me wrong. You hit it with 30 Tomahawks

00:22:51.700 in the United States Navy. You're going to do some big league damage. Okay. From submarines.

00:22:55.940 But why was that even in our target package, sir?

00:23:00.900 Well, Steve, how are you? Um, it's obviously a very important night. And, uh, look, you know,

00:23:06.420 as you said this morning, the party was on, uh, here you heard on the war room morning show that

00:23:12.820 probably before you heard it anywhere, the party was on the party would be on tonight. And so the

00:23:18.100 question is of course, and, and, and I've been hearing all sorts of different things regarding

00:23:22.340 the target package, regarding the strike package as well. And so I'm taking a deep breath and saying,

00:23:28.740 I got to stay frosty until we figure out, okay, what exactly was the ordinance that was dropped?

00:23:33.860 What was hit? How was hit? And then, as I always say on here, what was the battle damage assessment?

00:23:40.420 And that's going to be tricky when it comes to these facilities that were deep underground.

00:23:44.420 Uh, although we hear of course, for the, at the facilities is Fahan and the tons, 0.97

00:23:48.500 they were nowhere near as deep underground. We're also hearing, um, seeing some stuff about

00:23:53.380 bunker busters that were used on the tons as well. That's according to the New York Times. So

00:23:59.620 this keeps going back and forth regarding what specifically the, uh, the ordinance that was

00:24:04.260 used was. And, you know, we'll see if, of course, if DOD puts anything out specifically, of course,

00:24:08.900 we'll wait to hear from Secretary Hegseth, his office and, uh, you know, the great team that

00:24:13.860 he's got over there regarding that. And so, you know, when it comes down to it, but when it comes

00:24:17.940 down to it, Steve, look, when the, when the United States Navy does one thing and it does one thing,

00:24:21.860 well, and that's called putting warheads on foreheads. And that's exactly, uh, what our sailors 0.98

00:24:26.100 did tonight. And then of course, with our, our brethren over in the air force, when it comes to

00:24:31.860 the B2 stealth bomber, uh, this was, uh, this was almost, you know, you don't want to say routine,

00:24:37.220 but this is exactly what they trained for. This is the exact type of operation that they do train

00:24:41.780 for. It was obviously just done on a much greater scale than has ever really been seen before. But

00:24:47.700 in training, but training wise, this is very much right down the middle in terms of what a B2

00:24:53.060 spirit bomber crew is trained for. Uh, you know, tomorrow, because this is going to talk

00:24:58.340 about their blowback and all that, um, on the battle damage assessment, what are you looking

00:25:02.500 for? Because Iranian TV, and we understand this is information war. They're saying, ah,

00:25:06.260 nothing happened. You got the, you got some, you got the security doors and nothing else.

00:25:10.420 And also they came back and said, we're not shutting down any program.

00:25:13.700 We've hid this stuff. We're still pursuing. So they're still trying to defy

00:25:17.780 president Trump publicly hit his speech was pretty much. Hey, if you, in the part that I

00:25:23.860 think Magda's like sitting there going, what is where he talked about additional strikes of

00:25:28.500 certain behaviors were not done. What tomorrow morning at eight o'clock is Jack Posobiec looking

00:25:33.860 for that would give people some level of confidence that the tactical precision strike that president

00:25:39.620 Trump always talked about, he might do was actually done delivered and we can move on.

00:25:44.260 Well, Steve, what we're going to want to really see in, and I'm sure the Iranians are going to 1.00

00:25:50.180 be covering this up as much as possible. Well, first of all would be if Iran is saying that there

00:25:55.060 was no real damage done to these sites, then what they need to do is show us the sites,

00:26:00.180 show us the centrifuges that Iran, if that's true, if there's no, you know,

00:26:03.780 the onus is really on them at this point. So the strike has been done, that's taken place.

00:26:08.820 So if Iran saying that only minimal damage was done and that's Iranian state TV is blaring that

00:26:13.300 everywhere and they're cutting off the internet and all, they're doing all the rest, then show

00:26:16.980 us the facilities Iran, show us footage, prove that it's of the facility, prove that it's time

00:26:21.540 dated in such a way because there's a lot of stuff flying around X right now, flying around Twitter

00:26:26.260 right now. And what we need is ground truth. We need absolute ground truth. This is why, by the way,

00:26:32.020 this was one of the reasons I should say that Netanyahu had suggested potentially involving commandos

00:26:38.500 in a situation like this because of the question, the serious question of the battle damage assessment.

00:26:45.540 And because this thing is so far deep underground, we want to know exactly what happened, whether

00:26:50.260 President Trump, whether, whether the strike indeed was, was successful or because we know

00:26:55.700 because that Iran operates area dispersal, which means did they have some of these centrifuges,

00:27:01.300 perhaps in facilities that were nearby, but outside the blast radius? Are there other sites that would

00:27:05.940 need to be struck in order to continue President Trump's commander's mission objective? Again,

00:27:10.100 just a lot of questions that, and by the way, these are the same routine questions that you would have

00:27:15.140 that any analyst or any target tier would have after any strike. Yes, it's on a much greater scale,

00:27:21.860 but that's part of the discipline of battle damage assessment. It's routine and it is a process

00:27:27.620 that is followed after every strike, large or small.

00:27:29.940 I want to throw this. It's like President Trump's watching worm and teed us up for the next segment,

00:27:36.260 something that was kind of quite a little bit blurred in his speech. I want to read it to you

00:27:40.820 first. It just came across, put up on truth, then have Zeer and also Brian Glenn respond. Also,

00:27:47.380 the great Charlie Kirk, I think is going to join us. This is, I'm quoting Jack Posobiec. Any retaliation,

00:27:52.340 this is from President Trump, any retaliation by Iran against the United States of America will be met with force

00:27:57.780 far greater than what was witnessed tonight. Thank you, Donald J. Trump, President of the United

00:28:03.060 States. Your thoughts on that, sir? Well, Steve, of course, you know, that that response is being

00:28:09.460 given because we we certainly hope that Iran responds in in a restrained capacity. Now that,

00:28:16.500 of course, is is hoping for a lot and praying for a lot. But we're praying for is that our sailors,

00:28:23.060 our airmen, our Marines, our soldiers, everyone that we've got that's within region,

00:28:28.100 that's within striking distance of the Iranian military, particularly in the central Arabian

00:28:35.060 Gulf, particularly in what they call the CAG. So that's directly across from Iran there in the

00:28:41.460 Gulf. There's a lot of bases there. Yes, we know there's been evacuations that's been going on,

00:28:45.940 that activity all week, really the last week, two weeks. So a lot of telegraphing of a potential

00:28:52.020 strike. Now we know the strike has taken place. But of course, there's a lot of assets in the air

00:28:56.340 in the region, not to mention at sea, we've got a an entire flotilla of destroyers and two carrier

00:29:03.780 strike groups, one of which the Carl Vinson directly operating outside the Gulf of Aden,

00:29:08.580 and then another, the USS Nimitz that is responding, I believe, has finished its transit through the

00:29:14.820 Straits of Malacca and is now cutting across the Indian Ocean towards that very same region. So the

00:29:20.260 North Indian Ocean. So, Steve, there's there's going to be a lot of a lot of American souls

00:29:25.060 that are within range of Iranian warheads that are that are right now and also very soon. And

00:29:30.980 that's President Trump's promise to protect them. And we know that President Trump, of course,

00:29:35.700 is the type of commander in chief and is the commander in chief who has their interests at

00:29:40.180 heart. Pete Hegseth puts the warfighter first. That's what this tweet is about. It's about keeping

00:29:44.580 them safe. But but I might duly note about the opportunity costs. You know, President Trump's

00:29:49.780 putting additional out to clarification and to also drive the narrative forward. The atomic energy,

00:29:56.260 you know, commission of Iran, the bad guys have put something out. Hey, we're going to continue on 0.59

00:30:02.100 doing this. Right. They just put that statement out. We're meeting tomorrow at 8 a.m. You or other

00:30:07.140 people are going to follow it. This is going to be an option. I'm telling you, you this is how you get

00:30:11.860 sucked into this. Right. This is how you not don't focus on Los Angeles. This is how you don't focus

00:30:17.860 on sanctuary cities. This is how you don't focus on the great, beautiful bill, everything we need to

00:30:22.260 do. It's just it's just not that it's wrong to take these actions. Sometimes you must take these

00:30:28.340 actions. In this case, President Trump came to the conclusion he had to take these actions.

00:30:32.820 I think one of the questions is about the Israelis is we thought you had the other nuclear facilities.

00:30:37.220 Why did we have to have U.S. Navy submarines drop 25 or 30 tomahawks there? Like you said,

00:30:43.060 they're they're professionals. They can do this all day long and we'll do it all day long.

00:30:48.020 Let's go to David Zero. You know a lot about this, plus the blowback, you know, the region,

00:30:52.020 you know, all the vendettas. What is your thoughts tonight, sir?

00:30:56.980 Well, this explains why Trump didn't take any questions when he landed on Marine One before

00:31:00.820 and we came back into the complex here to extra security measures here.

00:31:05.220 I just wanted to say Iranian Islamic Broadcasting is saying that we did not destroy FURDO.

00:31:10.980 We just damaged the tunnel entrances there. And then they're also Iran today is also bragging 1.00

00:31:16.820 that AOC is calling for Trump's impeachment and that we're going to be ensnared for generations

00:31:21.300 in combat here. And I just wanted to add that, you know, Israel was striking those plants and

00:31:27.300 at Natanz, they destroyed like 16,000 centrifuges. And the International Atomic Energy

00:31:34.100 Commission was reporting that there was radiation leaking out of there. So I don't know if further

00:31:38.820 attacks on there may have enhanced that. I'm not sure. I'm just speculating. But also,

00:31:44.660 I just got a text before Trump spoke from Eric Mandel, the Jerusalem Post senior security editor.

00:31:50.580 So hang on. Hang on. Hang on. Slow down one second. I just want to make sure everybody knows.

00:31:56.100 Iranian TV in the in the regime is trying to convince their own citizens. Hey, America got nothing

00:32:01.140 here. We're still stronger. We're coming back. I mean, they're in a situation now trying to hold it

00:32:05.940 together in the the first casualty of war, ladies and gentlemen, is truth. Okay, the first casualty of

00:32:14.420 war is truth. So you're seeing now the Iranian, the Iranian regime, everything you're going to see 1.00

00:32:20.660 on TV. Now, there may be some truthiness in it. There may be certain elements, but they're going

00:32:24.820 to spin it as hard as possible. I think the bottom line is, they're just not going to sit down here

00:32:30.740 and lay down who knows even what capacity they have to strike back or go back to Jack in that

00:32:34.820 second. But continue on what you said something on the Jerusalem Post.

00:32:37.620 Yeah, before I get to that, Atomic Energy Commission of Iran also condemned the attacks.

00:32:44.260 But Eric Mandel, the senior security editor of Jerusalem Post, texted me right before Trump came

00:32:48.980 on and was, you know, congratulating Trump on the strikes. But he also conveyed to me that he was

00:32:54.100 very concerned about spillover, very concerned about retaliation in the Gulf states and other and

00:32:59.780 against U.S. bases and troops. And I just wanted to say to you, and maybe people can digest this,

00:33:07.620 you know, eight hours ago or so, Putin made a speech, I think, in St. Petersburg at an economic

00:33:12.100 summit saying that the whole of Ukraine is ours. And every step a soldier takes, it belongs to Russia 0.98

00:33:20.820 inside Ukraine. So our foreign leaders, you know, taking advantage of this crisis to do what they want,

00:33:27.220 right? So we got to keep an eye on that. And this also dispels the attacks, though, on Iran that

00:33:35.140 Kinzinger called Trump a taco last night on CNN, dispel that. But someone also texted me,

00:33:41.460 Yuri Kaufman, the author of American Intifada, he just texted me, he said, this is the end of Obama's

00:33:45.700 JCPOA deal. Jack Posovic, how do you avoid the tick for tack? The president just gave a warning.

00:33:56.980 If I'm the Iranians and I hear that, I want to hit a couple of things because I want to suck them more 1.00

00:34:01.780 into the combat, don't I? Don't I want to get the United States more and more involved and entangled

00:34:07.700 in this, sir? Well, Steve, I mean, let's, let's, let's, let's not, you know, let's, let's not get

00:34:15.620 too over our skis here either way, because the Iranians also understand that the United States

00:34:20.900 is a nuclear power. The United States military far exceeds Iran's capabilities and certainly 0.92

00:34:28.500 does have the ability to do quite a bit. President Trump, of course, telegraphing that he could have

00:34:32.340 assassinated Khamenei earlier this week, the Israelis. The sort of strategic game theory, 0.97

00:34:46.980 the U.S. game theory, of course, is hoping that there is no escalation. And of course,

00:34:52.260 hoping that the escalation, if it does occur, does not result in the deaths of U.S. soldiers,

00:34:57.700 sailors, sailors, airmen, or Marines. Because if soldiers, troops are killed in the advent or in

00:35:04.960 the aftermath of any of this, then of course, as President Trump has already said, that could lead

00:35:10.160 to escalation and that could lead to greater escalation. This is, of course, the escalatory

00:35:14.220 ladder that we've been talking about all week as well. But when it comes down to it, the real hope here

00:35:20.720 is that this was a straight, and there's a key difference, by the way, a key difference between

00:35:25.420 nuclear capabilities and nuclear program. Iran's nuclear capabilities have absolutely, after this 0.53

00:35:32.960 strike, regardless of what the exact PDA is, it's absolutely been set back several years. The program,

00:35:39.600 of course, refers to the technology itself. It can be rebuilt, and likely at this point,

00:35:47.380 according to the regime, if they don't have a deal, will be rebuilt because they're trying to find a way

00:35:52.020 to be able to respond. That puts them in a position where President Trump has the ability to ratchet up

00:35:58.260 either warfare or ratchet up negotiations as he sees fit.

00:36:04.560 Jack, hang on for a second. We're just, we're going to wrap up here in a few minutes. Of course,

00:36:07.860 we'll figure out tomorrow who's going to cover it. We're going to obviously stream it live,

00:36:12.300 the 8 a.m. battle damage assessment by Pete Hexeth and the chairman of the Joint Chiefs,

00:36:16.560 Raisin Cain, General Dan Raisin Cain. Zier, you know the neighborhood, the other Gulf Emirates, 1.00

00:36:23.980 the other allies, the signers of the Abraham Accord, how are they going to get jammed up tonight,

00:36:29.880 given the fact that we did attack, right, a Muslim nation, right? However you want to say, 0.95

00:36:35.340 Persia, bad guys, all that, Shiite versus Sunni, understanding that the local Emirates, 1.00

00:36:45.380 you know, hate the Persians, have had a detente for a couple of years. How do you think this is

00:36:50.520 going to play? I haven't seen any statements or, you know, anything from those states right now,

00:36:57.760 but I'll add that, like we spoke at the parade last week, you know, the UAE imports 7.9 billion or so

00:37:05.300 dollars in petrochemicals, some fossil fuels, and other imports in there. So these countries are

00:37:12.740 inextricably linked too, even though some are Sunni and some are Shia, some are Salafi and some are,

00:37:19.380 you know, a little bit less. So this is going to be interesting how this plays out. And does this

00:37:26.800 strengthen the Sunni alliances across the region as well to encourage maybe an overthrow in Iran,

00:37:35.100 right, to take out the Shiite power? So I don't know where it's going to go. I'm going to follow 1.00

00:37:39.780 that closely for you. I'll do some more homework on it. Hang on. Hey, Jack, Congressman Gates came

00:37:46.840 on tonight and actually had a very controversial statement. He said, look, I think you can look at

00:37:51.740 this. Part of it is that Israel initiating this as quickly as they did might not be too upset about

00:38:00.500 chaos in the Persian Gulf and around the Persian Gulf, particularly with the Emirates, right, that they 0.97

00:38:05.500 were taken back by President Trump's coming into the Arab nations a couple of weeks ago and talking

00:38:11.540 about deals, talking about crypto, giving artificial intelligence deals, advanced chip design, you know,

00:38:18.540 the artificial intelligence chip to the UAE Center. Your thoughts on that? It was pretty

00:38:24.780 controversial. And Gates has been out there for the last couple of weeks being controversial, sir.

00:38:29.500 Well, Steve, I mean, you want to look at the basic fundamentals here. And I've talked for a while

00:38:36.080 about how the Arab nations are no friends of Persia. They're no friends of Iran. They're clearly 0.91

00:38:42.300 opposed to the regime, not necessarily on not necessarily only on religious grounds, the Sunni

00:38:47.980 Shia split, but also because they're competitors when it comes to this global oil market. And so they can 1.00

00:38:53.600 see the situation where the price of oil goes up and they have the ability to either take out a key

00:38:58.800 competitor or perhaps take over parts of that key competitor. Remember, Iran was one of the biggest

00:39:05.700 beneficiaries of the ultimate aftermath of the war in Iraq and the chaos that ensued from the fall of

00:39:13.860 Saddam Hussein, the takeout of the Ba'ath Party. The Shia were really the ones that swept in there. 1.00

00:39:20.540 And so this has been a huge boon for them. And so the Sunnis, the Arabs have been looking for a way to 0.61

00:39:25.040 hit back for quite some time. So it wouldn't surprise me that if they were publicly opposing

00:39:30.760 this and say, oh, we're opposed because it's Israel, et cetera, et cetera, that quietly behind

00:39:35.420 the scenes that they're cheering all of this on.

00:39:40.380 Jack, what are you going to be looking for? Just one more time, because this is going to be very

00:39:43.800 important about how drives this entire narrative about exactly what was accomplished, given the fact

00:39:48.620 that there was two target sets. One was tomahawks. Was it 20 to 20 for 20, 25 to 30 tomahawks from U.S.

00:39:57.340 Navy submarines on the other two facilities and then bunker busting bombs on the on Ford or the main one?

00:40:04.700 What are you looking for tomorrow to convince you that the evidence is there, that this was mission,

00:40:11.060 this was mission accomplished and that these facilities are down and everything Iranian TV is saying is just more

00:40:16.740 their propaganda to try to save face and save the regime.

00:40:21.500 Well, see, that's what we're looking for. I mean, Iran, you know, they say the they say that the web,

00:40:26.020 the Internet is down. They can't get it to the Web sites. They can't get anything up there.

00:40:29.120 But Iran's a giant country. And these sites are enormous. There's a giant mountain.

00:40:33.020 So the idea that no social media can come out of there, I think, is kind of ludicrous.

00:40:36.860 So what I want to look for is that heavy smoke, major damage, videos coming out, weather.

00:40:42.940 And then, of course, for satellite later, I'm hoping I'm hopeful that there are declassified

00:40:49.060 satellite imageries that are able to come out regarding this site.

00:40:53.680 And, you know, we're looking for impact craters. We're looking for all sorts of things like that,

00:40:56.920 whether there's a whether there's a scattered radius of the bombardment.

00:41:01.380 Again, these are all the key signatures that you're going to look for for battle damage assessment.

00:41:05.400 But again, I'm just going to you know, I'm just going to always caveat that with saying that because this facility was so deep underground,

00:41:12.400 I mean, it'd be like, you know, it'd be like striking striking one of the pyramids and asking what happened to Pharaoh's tomb underneath,

00:41:19.220 because it's going to be very hard to tell just from imagery itself without getting.

00:41:24.700 And I would guess and I'm not going to get, you know, ahead of the president here,

00:41:28.440 but I would guess that if Mossad does have operatives that are operating within Iran,

00:41:34.120 that they're probably going to be working the chain very hard, paying off individuals and using that human intelligence.

00:41:39.980 I had Lieutenant Colonel Tony Schaefer on Human Events Daily the other day.

00:41:43.320 I said this is exactly the type of job that calls for human intelligence because imagery, comms, SIGINT,

00:41:50.360 it's just not going to get the job done.

00:41:52.380 You need, you know, at least spies on the ground to be able to figure out what's exactly going on.

00:41:58.440 Jack, social media, where do people go to get all tonight and then after your assessment tomorrow morning after the 8 a.m. brief?

00:42:06.000 Yeah, of course, at Jack Posobiec, I'm going to hop.

00:42:07.980 I was on the Charlie Kirk live stream.

00:42:09.380 I'm going to hop back on there now.

00:42:11.300 We're chopping it up.

00:42:12.020 We're going through super chats.

00:42:13.560 We're up on everything.

00:42:15.000 And, you know, we're taking all the incoming people are, you know,

00:42:18.060 there are people who feel one way and people who feel another way.

00:42:21.320 And we're calling balls and strikes and trying to see how everybody feels about this thing.

00:42:26.900 President Trump says it was a successful strike.

00:42:30.240 I take him at his word.

00:42:31.380 I have a lot of trust in this president.

00:42:33.080 I believe he's earned it after everything he's been through.

00:42:35.820 He does.

00:42:37.020 Thank you very much, Charlie Kirk.

00:42:38.420 See you tomorrow.

00:42:41.420 Brian Glenn, we got about a minute, 90 seconds for you.

00:42:44.700 Give us your summary tonight and we'll see you tomorrow.

00:42:46.580 Yeah, it's going to be a very interesting day in Washington, D.C., not only tomorrow,

00:42:52.000 but on Monday.

00:42:52.940 We're fully back in the White House and, of course, NATO, President Trump leaving for that

00:42:58.020 briefly.

00:42:58.980 One thing I do like about this, Steve, is that just shows that MAGA, conservatives,

00:43:04.300 can have an intellectual conversation, maybe a heated debate on issues.

00:43:09.520 We can do that and still stand behind the party.

00:43:12.020 The left doesn't allow dialogue when it comes to policies and what the left wants to do.

00:43:18.740 They just simply shut you down.

00:43:20.120 So it is a very healthy conversation that we're having.

00:43:23.160 I do enjoy reading a lot of the comments, Steve, as you do, too, of how the nation is

00:43:28.420 reacting to this.

00:43:29.320 A lot of people have questions on this, but I do agree with Jack Posobiec and I agree with

00:43:33.460 a lot of people that are weighing in on this.

00:43:35.840 I trust President Trump that he knows exactly what he's doing.

00:43:38.820 He's got the intel, and he'll do what's best for the American people, Steve.

00:43:44.420 Brian, thank you very much.

00:43:45.660 Great job as usual.

00:43:46.500 Social media, where do people get you?

00:43:48.520 Yeah, you can find me at BrianGlennTV, across the board, at Brian on True Social, Instagram,

00:43:53.560 Facebook, X.

00:43:54.580 I'll be, as much as I can, trying to get some information, relay through my sources.

00:43:59.060 I'll pump it out as soon as I get it.

00:44:00.420 But I'm looking forward to be back there in Washington, D.C., to continually cover this huge

00:44:04.900 story.

00:44:06.660 Thank you, brother.

00:44:07.380 Yes, it is a huge story.

00:44:08.820 Hopefully, keep America out of this war, although you're in it now as a combatant.

00:44:13.600 David Zier, we've got about a minute, sir.

00:44:15.540 Tell me your closing thoughts tonight.

00:44:17.240 Great coverage all day at the White House.

00:44:21.700 It's a huge day, one of the most important days, probably in a couple of generations here.

00:44:26.920 I hope that things don't escalate.

00:44:29.380 I hope the other regions in the area remain stable.

00:44:33.100 I hope other countries don't take advantage of this situation and take action and do things

00:44:37.920 that we don't approve of.

00:44:39.100 But we have faith in President Trump here.

00:44:45.560 going on within the ranks of MAGA.

00:44:48.400 But all in all, we have the military might and the superiority, air superiority, naval superiority,

00:44:55.740 and to take care of this.

00:44:57.860 And, you know, we've removed some of our assets from Qatar.

00:45:00.940 I think about 40 aircraft or so.

00:45:03.180 So we're pulling some of our assets out of harm's way if there are retaliatory strikes.

00:45:08.000 Let's just hope things stay stable.

00:45:09.940 That's all I can say.

00:45:10.560 David, where do people go to get your social media?

00:45:13.000 We've got to bounce.

00:45:15.460 At Dave Zier on X, at David Zier on Getter and Truth Social, and Facebook, and Insta David W. Zier.

00:45:23.340 Thank you, Steve.

00:45:23.820 Great job at the White House today, sir.

00:45:26.960 Well, we committed.

00:45:28.180 We told you the party was on today.

00:45:30.920 It was just who was going to host.

00:45:33.180 We now know it's the United States of America, not Israel.

00:45:37.080 We might drill down on that topic in the coming days.

00:45:40.660 8 a.m. tomorrow.

00:45:41.440 Real America's Voice is going to continue.

00:45:44.480 And I will tell you, 8 a.m. tomorrow, Eastern Daylight Time.

00:45:47.780 Secretary of Defense Pete Hexeth, the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff,

00:45:51.460 General Dan Raising Cain, will give you a battle damage assessment

00:45:56.280 that I know our entire audience will want to watch.

00:45:59.520 Keep in touch with Grace and Mo on social media, myself on Getter,

00:46:03.880 about maybe if we make an appearance tomorrow sometime, we'll have to figure this out.

00:46:08.560 Historic weekend.

00:46:10.260 21 June, the year of our Lord, 2025.

00:46:12.800 America goes to war.

00:46:16.420 See you probably tomorrow when you'll be back in the war room.

00:46:20.900 I want to thank Real America's Voice.
