A moment for history! President Trump will make his decision on whether or not to go into Iran within the next two weeks, and it could come as early as tonight. Iran is listening to the President and willing to talk. Meanwhile, the U.S. is preparing for a possible strike on Iran.
00:07:30.460And anybody out there who says, oh, let's not really worry about it, if indeed he has the intelligence that they are weeks away.
00:07:38.260And earlier today, we were talking with General Blaine Holt and Gordon Chang and a whole bunch of other folks who are deep entrenched in intel.
00:07:47.420And they're really worried that not only even if they're close, it doesn't mean they're not going to get it.
00:07:53.660That they could potentially put something in sort of a makeshift form and maybe potentially put it on a container, on a shipping container.
00:08:02.660What about putting it on the back of a Toyota pickup and moving it across the border?
00:08:52.560But on the other hand, he also knows that Iran has had such a history of dragging this out and lying to the international inspectors for years upon years.
00:09:04.900So President Trump is trying to bomb the heck out of them via Israel to bring them to the peace table.
00:10:16.280You like the glue on there and you're just so energized.
00:10:18.780But, no, this is my concern, well, there's so many because this is just such an unfolding situation with such great, you know, upside and downside.
00:10:35.020But with this memo that Tracy Galbert read about how.
00:10:42.360You mean, you mean Telsey Gabbard, right?
00:10:44.380The former director of national intelligence, right?
00:11:35.260Clearly, she was looking at something that President Trump strongly disagrees with.
00:11:40.540And I trust President Trump just because he probably has a lot more information.
00:11:45.200I can tell you that Telsey Gabbard was definitely rebuffed by President Trump this week in a very stunning move.
00:11:51.740If President Trump came out and said the reporters were asking him on Air Force One, in fact, we're saying, you know, bringing up the question that you're asking, because it's a very good question.
00:12:39.500Also, again, as I brought up, he is the president of the United States.
00:12:43.400He has a lot more information and intelligence than Tulsi Gabbard would have.
00:12:49.880Even though she's the director of national intel, he is the guy who gets the information from her, from FBI, from all these other world leaders.
00:12:58.220All these other folks are talking directly to him.
00:13:00.620So all I can say is it was a very clear response from President Trump that there's a lot more to it than what Tulsi Gabbard said.
00:13:10.100And I don't know what the disconnect is or if she was reading it the way she wanted to read it.
00:13:15.880She is one of those people who doesn't really believe in going into wars.
00:13:20.940I believe she probably has good intentions because I like and respect Tulsi a lot.
00:13:26.180So she may be one of those people who wasn't, you know, apt to go into war.
00:13:31.600And I don't think President Trump is either.
00:13:33.920I think he's been pretty measured all along about in terms of when to even consider going in, you know, from the sky.
00:13:42.320I'm not talking about ground troops whatsoever, but I think maybe since she made that statement, either she didn't have all the information he had or maybe since then he's gotten some new intelligence.
00:13:54.380Because that could also be the case, Susan, because remember, he's talking to President Netanyahu on the phone all the time.
00:14:00.280So maybe he has gotten a lot more significant intel, not just from Netanyahu, because I'm sure he would look all over the place on something as serious as this.
00:14:10.000Even if it's a great ally like Netanyahu, he's going to want a lot of confirmation.
00:14:54.840Bottom line is the president of the United States has the best info in the world.
00:14:59.560He is clear that he believes that Iran was prior to the Israeli strikes because he believes, obviously, they've taken out a number of these nuclear facilities.
00:15:09.120But he believes at that time, which was what, a few days ago now, about a week ago, they were only a few weeks away from a nuclear weapon.

00:18:36.380Not a surprise that that's their goal.
00:18:39.160But they are clearly signaling that they're going to hit all of them.
00:18:42.820And that would, of course, mean that Fordow facility, which is the one that is 300 feet deep, reportedly, below a mountain range of limestone and other rock.
00:18:55.700And that would require potentially either a bunker buster that the U.S. has, a cluster bomb type activity where they would have to go in with these bunker busters simultaneously, one after another.
00:19:09.720Either one opens and creates the crater and then another bunker buster bomb comes in afterwards and then goes deeper.
00:19:16.100Or, the other question is, does Israel have some other plan to take out that facility, which is like the backup, backup of nuclear production?
00:19:26.780Clearly something secret because they put it at the 300 feet below a mountain range.
00:19:32.100So you can imagine it's obviously something very big to the Iranian mullahs.
00:19:36.940But also, maybe Israel has some sort of other strategy.
00:19:40.860Remember, they put off those pagers, so who knows what they got.
00:19:46.120Or, maybe they have some sort of military technology that we are not aware of right now.
00:19:53.480So, boy, oh boy, the stakes could not be higher.
00:19:57.760We're going to take your calls tonight because there are so many developments here.
00:22:01.220And I don't even remember ever witnessing anything like that.
00:22:04.720To have a democracy, a pecan of hope for the world to now be turned into one of the worst countries where the military are in our streets without any regard for people's constitutional rights.
00:22:24.120While our president is spending millions of dollars prompting himself up like a failed dictator with a military parade.
00:22:56.760She was talking about the fact that she believes that African-Americans in America who look America's had obviously a troubled past.
00:23:08.140You know, you think about the Civil War and there are so many different issues tied to African-Americans in the past.
00:23:15.680I'm glad that we have made enormous strides, but I don't think Whoopi Goldberg sees it that way, even though she's African-American and extremely wealthy.
00:23:26.540So I'm not really sure what she's talking about here, but she actually is equating African-Americans in America with the way that women are treated in Iran.
00:23:37.860And I just want to you think of what happens to women in Iran.
00:23:41.680And it came up on the discussion of one of these individuals, a woman, a very courageous woman who was, you know, didn't want to wear the hijab.
00:23:51.520And they took her into custody, the Iranians.
00:23:55.580There are reports that they horribly sexually assaulted her and they horribly killed her.
00:24:01.640And there have been many stories like that of what they have done to women in Iran.
00:24:09.260And Whoopi Goldberg is somehow saying that America is just as bad as the regime in Iran.
00:24:19.460And again, it's on the precipice of we're wondering, you know, what President Trump's going to do.
00:24:24.640Whoopi has one of the most difficult decisions that any commander in chief would have to face ever.
00:24:30.700You think about the potential of a nuclear weapon in the hands of a mad regime like the Iranian regime.
00:24:37.140And then you actually have people in this country who are, you know, in front of the camera, have a microphone in front of them and are saying that African-Americans in America basically are treated the same or worse than Iranians who rise up like this woman.
00:30:19.600But I remember earlier, I think the point that Jim was going to make when we spoke with Blaine Holt earlier on Katz and Cosby,
00:30:28.860the general was saying that these cluster bombs have capabilities,
00:30:33.520but that he firmly believed that they would require some sort of ground forces,
00:30:39.640not necessarily by any means like U.S. or anything,
00:30:42.280but that there might need to be maybe some Mossad or somebody on the ground there that could also trigger or at least help some sort of acceleration of it on the ground
00:30:55.540or just to make sure it was taken out for the second phase.
00:30:58.080But he thought it would have to be something that would have some sky activity, obviously strikes from the sky.
00:31:04.520And also, he didn't rule out that maybe there is something else that Israel has that we just don't know about.
00:31:10.720So let's go to Fran in Massapequa on line one.
00:37:42.840You know, the other thing, too, the other day when they believed that there was some hit or maybe a test, potentially, on a nuclear site, there were a couple earthquakes that were felt in Iran.
00:37:55.400So that's how serious and how big this is.
