00:00:00.000 Which is, who are we?
00:00:01.000 And what can we do going forward?
00:00:03.000 And how do we survive without an Iranian state sponsor? 0.62
00:00:08.000 So what you could end up seeing is a complete reset, strategically speaking, of what we've known for decades, or many years, but certainly decades, across the Middle East.
00:00:21.000 This would be a big change.
00:00:22.000 By the way, I should mention something else, too.
00:00:25.000 China and Russia.
00:00:28.000 There are the other two big players in this.
00:00:30.000 China gets a phenomenal amount of oil from Iran.
00:00:33.000 China has got a huge investment in Iran.
00:00:37.000 Some could arguably say that some of the things that China has done by Iran is really part of its larger Belt and Road initiative around the world.
00:00:45.000 So this has all changed.
00:00:47.000 China's gonna be kind of looking Because all of a sudden, if there's a, for example, a new regime comes in and it's a pro-Western regime that eventually dominates, and I'm not saying it's going to be democracy or anything like that.
00:01:08.000 We love to say, oh, they'll come in, it'll be democracy, and they'll be wonderful, and they're going to copy the Constitution of the United States or something like that.
00:01:15.000 I'm not going to believe that we're going to pull something like that off.
00:01:18.000 But you could end up seeing a more pro-Western regime that comes into power.
00:01:42.000 And then Russia has just lost one of its core allies, one of its support beams, sending things like ballistic missiles and drones up to Russia.
00:01:53.000 And it's war with Ukraine.
00:01:55.000 And so they're going to have to reevaluate where they are, geostrategically, and they would be in a very difficult situation, albeit with one thing I should mention, that with this war, oil prices have spiked, which has actually increased the amount of revenue going into Russia from oil sales, so in the short run.
00:02:18.000 They've actually kind of profited from this war in terms of oil revenue, even though they've been pretty much cut off from any other stuff or any other support coming from Iran because of all the airstrikes and stuff.
00:02:31.000 They've actually, from a revenue standpoint, they were in desperate straits, and all of a sudden they have a lot more money that they can spend on warfighting in Ukraine.
00:02:42.000 This is what we heard from President Trump on social media right after it happened.
00:02:47.000 This, in fact, was the announcement about the strike itself.
00:02:50.000 We expect the president to speak on camera from the White House at the top of the hour in 14 minutes.
00:02:56.000 He says, we have completed our very successful attack on the three nuclear sites in Iran, including Fordow, Natanz, and Esfahan.
00:03:05.000 All planes are now outside of Iran airspace.
00:03:08.000 A full payload of bombs was dropped on the primary site, Fordow.
00:03:13.000 We've now since learned that it was six B-2 bombers, or excuse me, three B-2s that dropped six bunker busters on Fordow.
00:03:23.000 Trump says all planes are safely on their way home.
00:03:27.000 The president says congratulations to our great American warriors.
00:03:30.000 There is not another military in the world that could have done this, he says.
00:03:35.000 Now is the time for peace.
00:03:37.000 Thank you for your attention to this matter, he says.
00:03:41.000 So, I gotta focus in on the second to last sentence there.
00:03:47.000 It's in all caps.
00:03:48.000 Now is the time for peace, Trump says.
00:03:51.000 Does peace seem like the type of response Iran might have after something like this, Hal?
00:03:57.000 I find that interesting, you know, the all caps thing.
00:04:00.000 I don't want to get into textology that much, you know, it's like, what is it, all caps, or whatever.
00:04:05.000 But, you know, President Trump, let's just say he's been known to send texts.
00:04:11.000 All right.
00:04:11.000 I think it's a way of communication he's very comfortable with.
00:04:14.000 And when he puts that in there, that's a message aimed directly at the Iranian regime, which is a way of saying, hey, look, you need to come to the negotiating table and figure this out.
00:04:27.000 And, you know, basically, you know, the door's open if you choose to go this way.
00:04:33.000 The fact the Iranian regime played games with that 60-day window where they could have negotiated something.
00:04:41.000 And of course, the Iranians, they said, nope, unless we're allowed to keep doing everything we want to do, then we won't agree to anything.
00:04:49.000 And of course now they paid that price for that position.
00:04:53.000 And for the, and you have to remember for the Iranian regime, over the top combative, If they weren't able to say death to America and pledge to the destruction of Israel, they would have a very small vocabulary because that's pretty much what they say all the time. 0.70
00:05:15.000 So they kind of have to do that.
00:05:17.000 That's part of their, if you will, their id, if you will, their self-identification is being this revolutionary.
00:05:28.000 Shiite regime that is trying to take over the Middle East and everything else. 1.00
00:05:34.000 That's kind of who they are.
00:05:36.000 And so the time for peace, that's very difficult.
00:05:40.000 And again, if they agree to everything, again, they're going to have to look to the Iranian people who are going to look at them and say, so exactly what are you again? 0.57
00:05:49.000 You can't protect us.
00:05:51.000 You can't do all these other things.
00:05:53.000 We're certainly not gonna, you know, Laura Loomer has been cancelled.
00:06:18.000 The President of the United States has refused to take her phone calls as he suspects she is soon to be arrested.
00:06:24.000 Is Laura Loomer the most hated person on planet Earth? 1.00
00:06:28.000 We want to hear from you, the listener, and get your opinion on whether or not We coming for you, bitch. 1.00
00:06:35.000 We coming to your house, Laura Loomer. 1.00
00:06:37.000 We know where you live.
00:06:39.000 We coming for you right now.
00:06:40.000 We coming for your friends.
00:06:41.000 We coming for your friends' little dog.
00:06:43.000 Frankly, you know, I hope they throw her away for the rest of her life. 1.00
00:06:46.000 I hope she dies. 1.00
00:06:48.000 She is currently on the run from authorities. 0.99
00:06:50.000 She is described as armed and dangerous.
00:06:52.000 I just can't believe she's been getting away with it for this.
00:06:54.000 An angry mob appears to be forming outside the home of journalist Laura Loomer.
00:06:59.000 What is wrong with you?
00:07:00.000 Why are you not panicking?
00:07:02.000 Because I called Kirk Elliott Precious Metals, and I learned how adding gold and silver to my portfolio is one of the safest ways to not just grow my finances, but to also protect them from the uncertainty of the future.
00:07:17.000 So I'm fine.
00:07:19.000 Call economist Kirk Elliott at 720-605-3900 or schedule a call online at kepm.com slash loomer to learn how you can safely grow your retirement portfolio with precious metals.
00:07:35.000 To see if the Americans would get directly involved in the conflict.
00:07:39.000 And even up in the last few hours, I was talking with current and former sources, trying to get an understanding of when this might happen.
00:07:45.000 And at 1:55 local time, one source said rumors Trump gave the word supposed to be happening now.
00:07:52.000 We were working on tracking it down and the president taking to True Social to say the Americans did indeed strike three separate Iranian nuclear facilities, including the Fordow nuclear facility deep underground outside of the Iranian capital of Tehran.
00:08:07.000 The bottom line here is that people are talking about enrichment.
00:08:10.000 They understand that this decision was made because the Iranians were increasing their uranium enrichment capabilities and increasing the purity closer and closer to weapons grade material.
00:08:21.000 And the concern was that We've seen over the past nine days the country has the ability to strike major population centers here in Israel with ballistic missiles.
00:08:35.000 So you can imagine that having a nuclear warhead that could ultimately be attached to a ballistic missile would clearly be a direct threat to the Jewish state. 0.65
00:08:42.000 And that was why the Israelis said that they made the decision to start these strikes against Iranian nuclear facilities and against top IRGC officials.
00:08:52.000 Tonight, President Trump ordering these strikes against the Iranian regime's nuclear program because there was no off-ramp for diplomacy at this point.
00:09:00.000 And so this is a historic moment in the Middle East tonight.
00:09:04.000 And again, an opportunity for the region, as the president laid out in his statement, for peace in the future.
00:09:09.000 Because this is a region that understands peace through strength.
00:09:14.000 Trey Yingst reporting earlier today with Brett Baer.
00:09:18.000 Hal Kempfer is still with me.
00:09:19.000 We are seven minutes away.
00:09:21.000 From expecting President Trump to address the nation, we're expecting it at the top of the hour.
00:09:26.000 Hal, you just heard the word historic in Trey's piece.
00:09:30.000 Why is this historic?
00:09:32.000 The U.S. striking in Iran proper, three different places.
00:09:37.000 Well, first off, since 1979, this is the first time we've ever struck Iran, certainly in this way. 0.93
00:09:44.000 We've actually launched these major strikes, you know, Tomahawk missiles, taking out nuclear facilities.
00:09:49.000 And then B-2 bombers, strategic bombers.
00:09:52.000 You've got to remember, they're not just planes.
00:09:55.000 These are planes that are designed to carry nuclear weapons.
00:09:57.000 You know, this is the plane that we use when Armageddon is upon us, if you will.
00:10:03.000 They didn't have nuclear weapons, obviously.
00:10:05.000 they had these unique massive ordinance penetrators that have been so much focus of interest these GBU-57s that burrowed deep within the earth to destroy these underground And it's its unique capability.
00:10:27.000 Israelis don't have it. 1.00
00:10:28.000 Nobody else has it anywhere in the world.
00:10:30.000 Only we do.
00:10:31.000 And the delivery system is a B-2 bomber.
00:10:34.000 Again, the only thing that the U.S. has anywhere in the world.
00:10:36.000 And we brought all of this to basically eliminate the ability of Iran to make a nuclear weapon.
00:10:44.000 Now, that's pretty darn historic, because Iran has been playing with trying to Build a nuclear weapon for a very long time, for decades, and we have now kinetically taken that off. 0.92
00:10:57.000 So that's very historic.
00:10:58.000 It's also historic in that it's also opened up the possibility that the U.S. could get pulled into a war with Iran.
00:11:08.000 That's historic.
00:11:10.000 Some would say ominous that that's taken place, but it was a calculated risk.
00:11:19.000 And I think some, depending on what happens in Iran, depending on what happens with the regime there, the longevity of the regime there, historians may come back and look at this as a big turning point in terms of Iranian history.
00:11:37.000 And by the way, if Iran ceases to be this nemesis in the region, Ceases to be this fomenter of terrorism, not just in the Middle East, 0.87
00:11:52.000 but terrorism all over the world, but particularly in the Middle East, that's been supporting all of these extremist Shiite militia groups, Hezbollah, Hamas, was basically behind the October 7th attack being able to take place.
00:12:14.000 If this is, and of course, not to mention the Houthis, you know, basically stopping shipping in one of the globe's most important sea lanes for the amount of time that they had. 0.87
00:12:28.000 If this is taken off, it changes the entire strategic picture of the Middle East because Iran is so important as a provider of oil and also in terms of location for China.
00:12:43.000 Because they're such an important supporter of Russia in providing them drones and ballistic missiles and everything else.
00:12:51.000 This could be one of those pivotal points where we see a big change, you know, the second, third order effects of what just happened.
00:13:00.000 And we could say this completely changed the map across the world in terms of strategic balance of power.
00:13:07.000 It could be something that big.
00:13:10.000 But then again, we'll have to see.
00:13:13.000 Regime change keeps coming up a lot.
00:13:16.000 What does our largely American audience need to know about the Iranian regime?
00:13:23.000 And conversely, what do they need to know about the general Iranian public at large, the populace?
00:13:32.000 Well, first thing is, the Iranian public at large, about 89% of them can't stand the regime.
00:13:37.000 They hate them.
00:13:40.000 They've tried multiple times on the streets, you know, to basically overthrow, basically create enough social gravitas to overthrow a regime.
00:13:52.000 They have not been able to pull that off.
00:13:53.000 And the regime has been absolutely horrific in its response, sweeping people off the streets, doing these executions, very public way of making a point, imprisoning political dissenters, They're also this regime that does not allow any sort of free elections or anything we consider.
00:14:23.000 They scope in the elections so only the parties or the candidates that they will handpick are ever allowed to show up on the ballot, and then they pretty much put their thumb on the scale to make sure.
00:14:34.000 That whomever they want is the person that's elected.
00:14:37.000 And then over the government is this, you know, the supreme leader and his council, which are all a bunch of theocrats that basically control the country.
00:14:49.000 So that's what it is.
00:14:52.000 And it's this Shiite extremist belief. 0.61
00:14:55.000 Since 1979, when they overthrew the Shah of Iran, they have basically built their brand on two things.
00:15:02.000 Destruction of Israel. 0.65
00:15:03.000 And death to America.
00:15:05.000 That's their two favorite bumper sticker phrases.
00:15:08.000 That's what they kind of identify with.
00:15:11.000 And this constant, never-ending struggle, some would say war, if you will, although technically in Arabic, well, I should say jihad is an Arabic term, and jihad actually means struggle.
00:15:26.000 It doesn't always mean war per se, although when we say jihad, we normally mean war.
00:15:30.000 And I should mention that Arabic is not the Badan language in Iran.
00:15:36.000 It's actually Farsi, so maybe it's kind of a moot point.
00:15:40.000 But anyway, they have kind of built their brand on this thing, that they have this constant struggle or conflict, whatever, with Israel and the West.
00:15:49.000 And part of that goes back into the history of Iran.
00:15:53.000 The Shah of Iran, when he came into power in 1953, Kind of the U.S. and Great Britain were behind getting them into power because there was another guy in there who we felt was too favorable or was basically leaning towards the Soviet Union, different era, Cold War.
00:16:10.000 I don't want to get into all the details.
00:16:11.000 But the feeling was that the U.S. basically fomented a coup to put the Shah into power.
00:16:18.000 They put the Shah out of power and they've aimed everything at the West. 0.98
00:16:21.000 They've been anti-Western the entire time.
00:16:23.000 And so that's what that is.
00:16:26.000 That's what that regime is all about.
00:16:28.000 And so right now, all the things that underlie that regime, all the things that underlie has now taken, the thing they've always pointed at is we might be able to develop a nuclear weapon.
00:16:40.000 We might be a member of the nuclear club.
00:16:42.000 We might be, quote, invincible because we have nuclear capability.
00:16:47.000 That's what they've kind of held out for a very long period of time.
00:16:50.000 Well, in one fell swoop, we went in there and eliminated their capability to do that, as near as we can tell right now.
00:16:57.000 And that's going to have, you know, along with Israel literally controlling the skies over Iran, that has, you know, some significant impact on the ability of this regime to maintain itself in power.
00:17:13.000 Al, we appreciate your time.
00:17:17.000 I will say that it's now 10 o'clock Eastern time.
00:17:22.000 We anticipate that the president...
00:17:31.000 We don't know if he's going to come out any second now, any minute now, but I'm going to keep you on the line here, Hal, until we see President Trump walk out.
00:17:41.000 Let's ask one more time, what exactly are you going to be looking to hear from the president?
00:17:48.000 This is going to be the first time we've heard him on camera since we heard about this.
00:17:52.000 What we've heard from him on social media is that we have completed what he calls very successful attacks on three nuclear sites in Iran.
00:18:01.000 that includes Everybody heard those names for years as they built this horribly destructive enterprise.
00:18:14.000 Our objective was the destruction of Iran's nuclear enrichment capacity and energy. 0.90
00:18:27.000 Tonight, I can report to the world that the strikes were a spectacular military success.
00:18:35.000 Iran's key nuclear enrichment facilities have been completely and totally obliterated.
00:18:41.000 Iran, the bully of the Middle East, must now make peace. 1.00
00:18:45.000 If they do not, future attacks will be far greater and a lot easier. 0.98
00:18:49.000 For 40 years, Iran has been saying death to America, death to Israel. 0.97
00:18:55.000 They have been killing our people, blowing off their arms, blowing off their legs with roadside bombs. 0.99
00:19:01.000 That was their specialty.
00:19:03.000 We lost over a thousand people and hundreds of thousands throughout the Middle East and around the world have died as a direct result of their hate.
00:19:12.000 In particular, so many were killed by their general, Qasem Soleimani.
00:19:18.000 I decided a long time ago that I would not let this happen.
00:19:22.000 It will not continue.
00:19:24.000 I want to thank and congratulate Prime Minister Bibi Netanyahu.
00:19:29.000 We worked as a team like perhaps no team has ever worked before.
00:19:34.000 And we've gone a long way to erasing this horrible threat to Israel. 0.91
00:19:38.000 I want to thank the Israeli military for the wonderful job they've done.
00:19:43.000 And most importantly, I want to congratulate the great American patriots who flew those magnificent machines tonight and all of the United States military on an operation the likes of which the world has not seen in many, many decades.
00:19:58.000 Hopefully, we will no longer need their services in this capacity.
00:20:02.000 I hope that's so.
00:20:03.000 I also want to congratulate the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, General Dan Raisin Cane, spectacular general.
00:20:12.000 And all of the brilliant military minds involved in this attack.
00:20:15.000 With all of that being said, this cannot continue.
00:20:19.000 There will be either peace or there will be tragedy for Iran far greater than we have witnessed over the last eight days. 0.92
00:20:27.000 Remember, there are many targets left.
00:20:31.000 Tonight's was the most difficult of them all, by far, and perhaps the most lethal.
00:20:37.000 But if peace does not come quickly, we will go after those other targets with precision, speed, and skill.
00:20:45.000 Most of them can be taken out in a matter of minutes.
00:20:49.000 There's no military in the world that could have done what we did tonight, not even close.
00:20:54.000 There has never been a military that could do what took place just a little while ago.
00:21:00.000 Tomorrow, General Cain, Secretary of Defense, Pete Hegseth will have a press conference at 8 a.m. at the Pentagon.
00:21:08.000 And I want to just thank everybody.
00:21:10.000 And in particular, God, I want to just say we love you, God, and we love our great military.
00:21:18.000 Protect them.
00:21:19.000 God bless the Middle East.
00:21:21.000 God bless Israel.
00:21:22.000 And God bless America.
00:21:24.000 Thank you very much.
00:21:25.000 Thank you.
00:21:26.000 Thank you.
00:21:45.000 Laura Loomer has been cancelled.
00:21:47.000 The President of the United States has refused to take her phone calls as he suspects she is soon to be arrested.
00:21:53.000 Is Laura Loomer the most hated person on planet Earth? 1.00

00:22:28.000 What is wrong with you?

00:22:46.000 So I'm fine.
