In this episode, we discuss the President's remarks after the attack on Iran's nuclear facilities in Iran and the implications for possible future strikes on Iran. We also talk about the impact of the strike on the Iranian nuclear facilities and the potential for future strikes.
00:21:18.900Open your eyes. No time to be blind. Open your mind to see. We're in a modern day. Holy war. Coming
00:21:30.900after your mind to find your soul. Oh, oh, oh, it's true. Modern day. Holy war. Tells your blood.
00:21:45.700Welcome. I want to thank our sponsor, Birch gold, birchgold.com. I think it's going to be turbulent
00:21:53.380on Monday. I'm just tossing that out there. Maybe I've warned you guys go to the end of the dollar
00:21:59.620empire. Now the bricks more than ever. You think Iran's going to put their shoulder to the wheel
00:22:03.940in Rio? I think so. I think you've tipped over a horn's nest tonight. Uh, birchgold.com. Go check
00:22:10.660it out. Promo code Bannon. End of the dollar empire. Talk to Philip Patrick and the team. Do it this
00:22:15.140weekend. Get online and get it because Monday it's going to be rip-roaring. Uh, Jack Posovic.
00:22:20.980Uh, I'm going to go back to the White House. David Zier is there. He's hearing all kind of
00:22:24.580information. Zier is plugged in all over the region, uh, and knows this, uh, Islamic jihad
00:22:30.180better than anybody. Uh, Brian Glenn's going to stick with us, our main guy at the White House.
00:22:34.820Jack Posovic joins us. Poso, uh, I'm, I'm not quite understanding the, the, the target set here.
00:22:42.180The other two facilities, I thought Israel was taking those. And I don't know why the United
00:22:46.500States Navy had to hit it with 30 Tomahawk. Uh, don't get me wrong. You hit it with 30 Tomahawks
00:22:51.700in the United States Navy. You're going to do some big league damage. Okay. From submarines.
00:22:55.940But why was that even in our target package, sir?
00:23:00.900Well, Steve, how are you? Um, it's obviously a very important night. And, uh, look, you know,
00:23:06.420as you said this morning, the party was on, uh, here you heard on the war room morning show that
00:23:12.820probably before you heard it anywhere, the party was on the party would be on tonight. And so the
00:23:18.100question is of course, and, and, and I've been hearing all sorts of different things regarding
00:23:22.340the target package, regarding the strike package as well. And so I'm taking a deep breath and saying,
00:23:28.740I got to stay frosty until we figure out, okay, what exactly was the ordinance that was dropped?
00:23:33.860What was hit? How was hit? And then, as I always say on here, what was the battle damage assessment?
00:23:40.420And that's going to be tricky when it comes to these facilities that were deep underground.
00:23:44.420Uh, although we hear of course, for the, at the facilities is Fahan and the tons,
00:23:48.500they were nowhere near as deep underground. We're also hearing, um, seeing some stuff about
00:23:53.380bunker busters that were used on the tons as well. That's according to the New York Times. So
00:23:59.620this keeps going back and forth regarding what specifically the, uh, the ordinance that was
00:24:04.260used was. And, you know, we'll see if, of course, if DOD puts anything out specifically, of course,
00:24:08.900we'll wait to hear from Secretary Hegseth, his office and, uh, you know, the great team that
00:24:13.860he's got over there regarding that. And so, you know, when it comes down to it, but when it comes
00:24:17.940down to it, Steve, look, when the, when the United States Navy does one thing and it does one thing,
00:24:21.860well, and that's called putting warheads on foreheads. And that's exactly, uh, what our sailors
00:24:26.100did tonight. And then of course, with our, our brethren over in the air force, when it comes to
00:24:31.860the B2 stealth bomber, uh, this was, uh, this was almost, you know, you don't want to say routine,
00:24:37.220but this is exactly what they trained for. This is the exact type of operation that they do train
00:24:41.780for. It was obviously just done on a much greater scale than has ever really been seen before. But
00:24:47.700in training, but training wise, this is very much right down the middle in terms of what a B2
00:24:53.060spirit bomber crew is trained for. Uh, you know, tomorrow, because this is going to talk
00:24:58.340about their blowback and all that, um, on the battle damage assessment, what are you looking
00:25:02.500for? Because Iranian TV, and we understand this is information war. They're saying, ah,
00:25:06.260nothing happened. You got the, you got some, you got the security doors and nothing else.
00:25:10.420And also they came back and said, we're not shutting down any program.
00:25:13.700We've hid this stuff. We're still pursuing. So they're still trying to defy
00:25:17.780president Trump publicly hit his speech was pretty much. Hey, if you, in the part that I
00:25:23.860think Magda's like sitting there going, what is where he talked about additional strikes of
00:25:28.500certain behaviors were not done. What tomorrow morning at eight o'clock is Jack Posobiec looking
00:25:33.860for that would give people some level of confidence that the tactical precision strike that president
00:25:39.620Trump always talked about, he might do was actually done delivered and we can move on.
00:25:44.260Well, Steve, what we're going to want to really see in, and I'm sure the Iranians are going to
00:25:50.180be covering this up as much as possible. Well, first of all would be if Iran is saying that there
00:25:55.060was no real damage done to these sites, then what they need to do is show us the sites,
00:26:00.180show us the centrifuges that Iran, if that's true, if there's no, you know,
00:26:03.780the onus is really on them at this point. So the strike has been done, that's taken place.
00:26:08.820So if Iran saying that only minimal damage was done and that's Iranian state TV is blaring that
00:26:13.300everywhere and they're cutting off the internet and all, they're doing all the rest, then show
00:26:16.980us the facilities Iran, show us footage, prove that it's of the facility, prove that it's time
00:26:21.540dated in such a way because there's a lot of stuff flying around X right now, flying around Twitter
00:26:26.260right now. And what we need is ground truth. We need absolute ground truth. This is why, by the way,
00:26:32.020this was one of the reasons I should say that Netanyahu had suggested potentially involving commandos
00:26:38.500in a situation like this because of the question, the serious question of the battle damage assessment.
00:26:45.540And because this thing is so far deep underground, we want to know exactly what happened, whether
00:26:50.260President Trump, whether, whether the strike indeed was, was successful or because we know
00:26:55.700because that Iran operates area dispersal, which means did they have some of these centrifuges,
00:27:01.300perhaps in facilities that were nearby, but outside the blast radius? Are there other sites that would
00:27:05.940need to be struck in order to continue President Trump's commander's mission objective? Again,
00:27:10.100just a lot of questions that, and by the way, these are the same routine questions that you would have
00:27:15.140that any analyst or any target tier would have after any strike. Yes, it's on a much greater scale,
00:27:21.860but that's part of the discipline of battle damage assessment. It's routine and it is a process
00:27:27.620that is followed after every strike, large or small.
00:27:29.940I want to throw this. It's like President Trump's watching worm and teed us up for the next segment,
00:27:36.260something that was kind of quite a little bit blurred in his speech. I want to read it to you
00:27:40.820first. It just came across, put up on truth, then have Zeer and also Brian Glenn respond. Also,
00:27:47.380the great Charlie Kirk, I think is going to join us. This is, I'm quoting Jack Posobiec. Any retaliation,
00:27:52.340this is from President Trump, any retaliation by Iran against the United States of America will be met with force
00:27:57.780far greater than what was witnessed tonight. Thank you, Donald J. Trump, President of the United
00:28:03.060States. Your thoughts on that, sir? Well, Steve, of course, you know, that that response is being
00:28:09.460given because we we certainly hope that Iran responds in in a restrained capacity. Now that,
00:28:16.500of course, is is hoping for a lot and praying for a lot. But we're praying for is that our sailors,
00:28:23.060our airmen, our Marines, our soldiers, everyone that we've got that's within region,
00:28:28.100that's within striking distance of the Iranian military, particularly in the central Arabian
00:28:35.060Gulf, particularly in what they call the CAG. So that's directly across from Iran there in the
00:28:41.460Gulf. There's a lot of bases there. Yes, we know there's been evacuations that's been going on,
00:28:45.940that activity all week, really the last week, two weeks. So a lot of telegraphing of a potential
00:28:52.020strike. Now we know the strike has taken place. But of course, there's a lot of assets in the air
00:28:56.340in the region, not to mention at sea, we've got a an entire flotilla of destroyers and two carrier
00:29:03.780strike groups, one of which the Carl Vinson directly operating outside the Gulf of Aden,
00:29:08.580and then another, the USS Nimitz that is responding, I believe, has finished its transit through the
00:29:14.820Straits of Malacca and is now cutting across the Indian Ocean towards that very same region. So the
00:29:20.260North Indian Ocean. So, Steve, there's there's going to be a lot of a lot of American souls
00:29:25.060that are within range of Iranian warheads that are that are right now and also very soon. And
00:29:30.980that's President Trump's promise to protect them. And we know that President Trump, of course,
00:29:35.700is the type of commander in chief and is the commander in chief who has their interests at
00:29:40.180heart. Pete Hegseth puts the warfighter first. That's what this tweet is about. It's about keeping
00:29:44.580them safe. But but I might duly note about the opportunity costs. You know, President Trump's
00:29:49.780putting additional out to clarification and to also drive the narrative forward. The atomic energy,
00:29:56.260you know, commission of Iran, the bad guys have put something out. Hey, we're going to continue on
00:30:02.100doing this. Right. They just put that statement out. We're meeting tomorrow at 8 a.m. You or other
00:30:07.140people are going to follow it. This is going to be an option. I'm telling you, you this is how you get
00:30:11.860sucked into this. Right. This is how you not don't focus on Los Angeles. This is how you don't focus
00:30:17.860on sanctuary cities. This is how you don't focus on the great, beautiful bill, everything we need to
00:30:22.260do. It's just it's just not that it's wrong to take these actions. Sometimes you must take these
00:30:28.340actions. In this case, President Trump came to the conclusion he had to take these actions.
00:30:32.820I think one of the questions is about the Israelis is we thought you had the other nuclear facilities.
00:30:37.220Why did we have to have U.S. Navy submarines drop 25 or 30 tomahawks there? Like you said,
00:30:43.060they're they're professionals. They can do this all day long and we'll do it all day long.
00:30:48.020Let's go to David Zero. You know a lot about this, plus the blowback, you know, the region,
00:30:52.020you know, all the vendettas. What is your thoughts tonight, sir?
00:30:56.980Well, this explains why Trump didn't take any questions when he landed on Marine One before
00:31:00.820and we came back into the complex here to extra security measures here.
00:31:05.220I just wanted to say Iranian Islamic Broadcasting is saying that we did not destroy FURDO.
00:31:10.980We just damaged the tunnel entrances there. And then they're also Iran today is also bragging
00:31:16.820that AOC is calling for Trump's impeachment and that we're going to be ensnared for generations
00:31:21.300in combat here. And I just wanted to add that, you know, Israel was striking those plants and
00:31:27.300at Natanz, they destroyed like 16,000 centrifuges. And the International Atomic Energy
00:31:34.100Commission was reporting that there was radiation leaking out of there. So I don't know if further
00:31:38.820attacks on there may have enhanced that. I'm not sure. I'm just speculating. But also,
00:31:44.660I just got a text before Trump spoke from Eric Mandel, the Jerusalem Post senior security editor.
00:31:50.580So hang on. Hang on. Hang on. Slow down one second. I just want to make sure everybody knows.
00:31:56.100Iranian TV in the in the regime is trying to convince their own citizens. Hey, America got nothing
00:32:01.140here. We're still stronger. We're coming back. I mean, they're in a situation now trying to hold it
00:32:05.940together in the the first casualty of war, ladies and gentlemen, is truth. Okay, the first casualty of
00:32:14.420war is truth. So you're seeing now the Iranian, the Iranian regime, everything you're going to see
00:32:20.660on TV. Now, there may be some truthiness in it. There may be certain elements, but they're going
00:32:24.820to spin it as hard as possible. I think the bottom line is, they're just not going to sit down here
00:32:30.740and lay down who knows even what capacity they have to strike back or go back to Jack in that
00:32:34.820second. But continue on what you said something on the Jerusalem Post.
00:32:37.620Yeah, before I get to that, Atomic Energy Commission of Iran also condemned the attacks.
00:32:44.260But Eric Mandel, the senior security editor of Jerusalem Post, texted me right before Trump came
00:32:48.980on and was, you know, congratulating Trump on the strikes. But he also conveyed to me that he was
00:32:54.100very concerned about spillover, very concerned about retaliation in the Gulf states and other and
00:32:59.780against U.S. bases and troops. And I just wanted to say to you, and maybe people can digest this,
00:33:07.620you know, eight hours ago or so, Putin made a speech, I think, in St. Petersburg at an economic
00:33:12.100summit saying that the whole of Ukraine is ours. And every step a soldier takes, it belongs to Russia
00:33:20.820inside Ukraine. So our foreign leaders, you know, taking advantage of this crisis to do what they want,
00:33:27.220right? So we got to keep an eye on that. And this also dispels the attacks, though, on Iran that
00:33:35.140Kinzinger called Trump a taco last night on CNN, dispel that. But someone also texted me,
00:33:41.460Yuri Kaufman, the author of American Intifada, he just texted me, he said, this is the end of Obama's
00:33:45.700JCPOA deal. Jack Posovic, how do you avoid the tick for tack? The president just gave a warning.
00:33:56.980If I'm the Iranians and I hear that, I want to hit a couple of things because I want to suck them more
00:34:01.780into the combat, don't I? Don't I want to get the United States more and more involved and entangled
00:34:07.700in this, sir? Well, Steve, I mean, let's, let's, let's, let's not, you know, let's, let's not get
00:34:15.620too over our skis here either way, because the Iranians also understand that the United States
00:34:20.900is a nuclear power. The United States military far exceeds Iran's capabilities and certainly
00:34:28.500does have the ability to do quite a bit. President Trump, of course, telegraphing that he could have
00:34:32.340assassinated Khamenei earlier this week, the Israelis. The sort of strategic game theory,
00:34:46.980the U.S. game theory, of course, is hoping that there is no escalation. And of course,
00:34:52.260hoping that the escalation, if it does occur, does not result in the deaths of U.S. soldiers,
00:34:57.700sailors, sailors, airmen, or Marines. Because if soldiers, troops are killed in the advent or in
00:35:04.960the aftermath of any of this, then of course, as President Trump has already said, that could lead
00:35:10.160to escalation and that could lead to greater escalation. This is, of course, the escalatory
00:35:14.220ladder that we've been talking about all week as well. But when it comes down to it, the real hope here
00:35:20.720is that this was a straight, and there's a key difference, by the way, a key difference between
00:35:25.420nuclear capabilities and nuclear program. Iran's nuclear capabilities have absolutely, after this
00:35:32.960strike, regardless of what the exact PDA is, it's absolutely been set back several years. The program,
00:35:39.600of course, refers to the technology itself. It can be rebuilt, and likely at this point,
00:35:47.380according to the regime, if they don't have a deal, will be rebuilt because they're trying to find a way
00:35:52.020to be able to respond. That puts them in a position where President Trump has the ability to ratchet up
00:35:58.260either warfare or ratchet up negotiations as he sees fit.
00:36:04.560Jack, hang on for a second. We're just, we're going to wrap up here in a few minutes. Of course,
00:36:07.860we'll figure out tomorrow who's going to cover it. We're going to obviously stream it live,
00:36:12.300the 8 a.m. battle damage assessment by Pete Hexeth and the chairman of the Joint Chiefs,
00:36:16.560Raisin Cain, General Dan Raisin Cain. Zier, you know the neighborhood, the other Gulf Emirates,
00:36:23.980the other allies, the signers of the Abraham Accord, how are they going to get jammed up tonight,
00:36:29.880given the fact that we did attack, right, a Muslim nation, right? However you want to say,
00:36:35.340Persia, bad guys, all that, Shiite versus Sunni, understanding that the local Emirates,
00:36:45.380you know, hate the Persians, have had a detente for a couple of years. How do you think this is
00:36:50.520going to play? I haven't seen any statements or, you know, anything from those states right now,
00:36:57.760but I'll add that, like we spoke at the parade last week, you know, the UAE imports 7.9 billion or so
00:37:05.300dollars in petrochemicals, some fossil fuels, and other imports in there. So these countries are
00:37:12.740inextricably linked too, even though some are Sunni and some are Shia, some are Salafi and some are,
00:37:19.380you know, a little bit less. So this is going to be interesting how this plays out. And does this
00:37:26.800strengthen the Sunni alliances across the region as well to encourage maybe an overthrow in Iran,
00:37:35.100right, to take out the Shiite power? So I don't know where it's going to go. I'm going to follow
00:37:39.780that closely for you. I'll do some more homework on it. Hang on. Hey, Jack, Congressman Gates came
00:37:46.840on tonight and actually had a very controversial statement. He said, look, I think you can look at
00:37:51.740this. Part of it is that Israel initiating this as quickly as they did might not be too upset about
00:38:00.500chaos in the Persian Gulf and around the Persian Gulf, particularly with the Emirates, right, that they
00:38:05.500were taken back by President Trump's coming into the Arab nations a couple of weeks ago and talking
00:38:11.540about deals, talking about crypto, giving artificial intelligence deals, advanced chip design, you know,
00:38:18.540the artificial intelligence chip to the UAE Center. Your thoughts on that? It was pretty
00:38:24.780controversial. And Gates has been out there for the last couple of weeks being controversial, sir.
00:38:29.500Well, Steve, I mean, you want to look at the basic fundamentals here. And I've talked for a while
00:38:36.080about how the Arab nations are no friends of Persia. They're no friends of Iran. They're clearly
00:38:42.300opposed to the regime, not necessarily on not necessarily only on religious grounds, the Sunni
00:38:47.980Shia split, but also because they're competitors when it comes to this global oil market. And so they can
00:38:53.600see the situation where the price of oil goes up and they have the ability to either take out a key
00:38:58.800competitor or perhaps take over parts of that key competitor. Remember, Iran was one of the biggest
00:39:05.700beneficiaries of the ultimate aftermath of the war in Iraq and the chaos that ensued from the fall of
00:39:13.860Saddam Hussein, the takeout of the Ba'ath Party. The Shia were really the ones that swept in there.
00:39:20.540And so this has been a huge boon for them. And so the Sunnis, the Arabs have been looking for a way to
00:39:25.040hit back for quite some time. So it wouldn't surprise me that if they were publicly opposing
00:39:30.760this and say, oh, we're opposed because it's Israel, et cetera, et cetera, that quietly behind
00:39:35.420the scenes that they're cheering all of this on.
00:39:40.380Jack, what are you going to be looking for? Just one more time, because this is going to be very
00:39:43.800important about how drives this entire narrative about exactly what was accomplished, given the fact
00:39:48.620that there was two target sets. One was tomahawks. Was it 20 to 20 for 20, 25 to 30 tomahawks from U.S.
00:39:57.340Navy submarines on the other two facilities and then bunker busting bombs on the on Ford or the main one?
00:40:04.700What are you looking for tomorrow to convince you that the evidence is there, that this was mission,
00:40:11.060this was mission accomplished and that these facilities are down and everything Iranian TV is saying is just more
00:40:16.740their propaganda to try to save face and save the regime.
00:40:21.500Well, see, that's what we're looking for. I mean, Iran, you know, they say the they say that the web,
00:40:26.020the Internet is down. They can't get it to the Web sites. They can't get anything up there.
00:40:29.120But Iran's a giant country. And these sites are enormous. There's a giant mountain.
00:40:33.020So the idea that no social media can come out of there, I think, is kind of ludicrous.
00:40:36.860So what I want to look for is that heavy smoke, major damage, videos coming out, weather.
00:40:42.940And then, of course, for satellite later, I'm hoping I'm hopeful that there are declassified
00:40:49.060satellite imageries that are able to come out regarding this site.
00:40:53.680And, you know, we're looking for impact craters. We're looking for all sorts of things like that,
00:40:56.920whether there's a whether there's a scattered radius of the bombardment.
00:41:01.380Again, these are all the key signatures that you're going to look for for battle damage assessment.
00:41:05.400But 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,
00:41:12.400I 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,
00:41:19.220because it's going to be very hard to tell just from imagery itself without getting.
00:41:24.700And I would guess and I'm not going to get, you know, ahead of the president here,
00:41:28.440but I would guess that if Mossad does have operatives that are operating within Iran,
00:41:34.120that they're probably going to be working the chain very hard, paying off individuals and using that human intelligence.
00:41:39.980I had Lieutenant Colonel Tony Schaefer on Human Events Daily the other day.
