Where's the story that Israel says they're asking troops for?
00:00:03.480
Okay, Israel president calls on the world to help destroy Iran nuclear sites, right?
00:00:09.140
And I think there's even one of them that's talking about he's asking America.
00:00:14.220
There's a bigger picture here that the world and the American people should understand.
00:00:19.180
We have to stop this empire of evil no more and tell them,
00:00:24.060
get the goddamn nukes out of your hands and start behaving in a decent way
00:00:28.440
and not be the rogue state you are all over the world.
00:00:32.160
Would Israel like to see the U.S. at this point join in with direct offensive military action in Iran?
00:00:38.740
So as you see, the Israeli leadership is quite cautious.
00:00:42.420
It's a decision that needs to be taken by the president and his team.
00:00:46.600
So obviously we would welcome anything that helps eradicate the Iranian nuclear program completely,
00:00:54.600
including the main two sites at Fordow and Natanz.
00:01:01.080
This goes to Israel, we are hitting Fordow with or without U.S. bunker busters, right?
00:01:10.720
If you have this clip, Rob, there's a clip that says Israel, we are hitting Fordow.
00:01:15.840
For the Iran, the possibility of an Iran deal, is the destruction or the dismantling of the Fordow nuclear enrichment center,
00:01:27.320
No, it's just something that people talk about having.
00:01:29.900
We're the only ones that have the capability to do it, but that doesn't mean I'm going to do it at all.
00:01:34.780
Yeah, we have the best military equipment in the world.
00:01:39.240
We have planes that are undetectable, flying around like, you know, nobody's able to see them stealth.
00:01:48.460
You know, you can be stealth, you'll never lose, right?
00:01:58.720
And we're, I mean, certain countries take advantage of that.
00:02:08.000
I have not, I have not, I've been asked about it by everybody, but I haven't made a decision.
00:02:14.400
Israel National Security by Zetekhia Kanabi stated in an interview, Channel 12,
00:02:18.520
Israel operation against Iran will not end without damaging Fordow nuclear facility,
00:02:23.200
which is 90 meters underground and houses thousands of uranium enriched centrifuges.
00:02:28.460
He acknowledges, I don't know if the U.S. will join, noting ongoing talks with the U.S.,
00:02:34.560
Some conventional wisdom suggests that U.S. bunker-busting bombs can destroy Fordow as
00:02:39.220
Israel lacks such munitions and strategic bombers.
00:02:44.980
So, number one, I just want to say, I trust Donald Trump.
00:02:47.420
I don't think he's going to do anything without seeing it for himself.
00:02:53.700
I mean, he knows what he's doing, knows what he's talking about.
00:02:58.080
And if they tell him, hey, this is what's happened, he's going to want to say, show me, right?
00:03:02.460
And so he won't make a decision, I believe, without all the facts and information in intel, number one.
00:03:07.180
Number two, I think, you know, Israel, their heaviest bunker-buster is 5,000 pounds.
00:03:14.140
Like, they've even admitted today, I believe, that they might need to go in using humans if the U.S. doesn't help.
00:03:20.480
We have, as you all know, the B-2 aircraft that are needed to drop heavier bunker-busters.
00:03:25.900
We have a 30,000-pound bunker-buster bomb, which would, you need a couple of them, do the trick.
00:03:34.740
You might, I don't know if you need anything more than that, but we have, definitely have equipment and munitions that would work that Israel might need to use.
00:03:41.940
And I'm okay with us doing that, if that's what Trump decides.
00:03:45.540
That doesn't mean we have troops on the ground.
00:03:51.400
If Iran, if we allow Iran to get a nuclear weapon, we either fight now or we fight later because Iran's going to drop that nuclear bomb on Israel or somewhere else, no matter what.
00:04:14.240
Much better, safer, for everybody because there's going to be war with Iran no matter what, whether it's right now or whether it's 10 years from now, 20 years from now, whenever that happens, they're going to drop a nuke and there's going to be World War III.
00:04:32.120
If they need some of our missiles or bombs, I hope that we provide it and keep our troops out of it.
00:04:39.440
So I also trust President Trump, and the decision here is very straight.
00:04:51.040
Part one, Israel gets challenged or told, look, you got your military, you got everything like this, and you got a lot of the stuff from us.
00:05:07.740
That's when the French were flailing in Vietnam, well, we'll provide some advisors.
00:05:12.040
Well, we'll provide limited assault infantry support.
00:05:18.300
Where I don't want to be, I don't want to be boots on the ground.
00:05:22.560
But if we've got the best delivery mechanism, the B-2 delivery platform, and we've got the best bunker buster bombs,
00:05:35.660
Is that the one that goes, is three phases, one, two, three?
00:05:39.100
It is a very – can you break down to the audience what the bunker buster bomb –
00:05:43.660
It's designed to go – it's delayed fuses in multiple levels, and it's designed to build a hole for itself
00:05:53.040
and then have the bigger explosion down in the hole once it's there.
00:05:57.380
And the design is when you have an enemy deep underground and building bunkers,
00:06:03.600
you have to get through all the soil down to a level to provide a dramatic explosive concussion downward.
00:06:12.040
And what Representative Mace was just talking about is Israel's got 5,000-pound bunker busters.
00:06:19.540
Now, a 30,000-pound bunker buster, I mean, that's 15 tons of trouble that comes down, initial explosion, delayed fuses, and then the massive explosion.
00:06:34.460
And you've got this tunnel that goes deep into the mountain.
00:06:40.240
They go penetrating in, and then – and now what have you got?
00:06:44.740
You've got – okay, who's going to be Luke Skywalker and fly to the center of the Death Star
00:06:48.460
and put the bomb down this long tube that goes down?
00:06:52.040
And so the question really is, is what if the bunker busters don't work?
00:06:59.120
Do you have to put basically elite infantry on the ground to get there and to go all the way through this thing?
00:07:13.660
But if the bunker busters don't work, Israel has to go in with elite ground troops to go down these tunnels,
00:07:21.860
penetrate the whole thing, and then do it down deep.
00:07:29.980
You may not have nuclear weapons, and you've built this facility,
00:07:33.820
and one way or another this facility has to be compromised.
00:07:47.740
So regardless, they need our weapons, but they got the soldiers.
00:07:51.100
They need our weapons, but they got enough of, you know.
00:07:54.300
They might need one of our pilots to fly the plane.
00:07:56.440
I was going to say, Pat, I don't even think it's going to happen.
00:08:01.480
Didn't they get elite soldiers of their own, the equivalent of Green Berets, in,
00:08:10.260
Yeah, they had a factory, a drone factory in Iran.
00:08:18.100
And I don't even think it needs to get to any troops, not even Israeli.
00:08:21.740
The technology they have from the air is absolutely ridiculous.
00:08:33.860
I don't want any human beings dying the less as we can.
00:08:40.240
That type of mentality and that type of leadership, it's not helping.
00:08:43.620
Anybody that's saying death to America, it's only a matter of time
00:08:51.560
I'm worried about the people that build capabilities to do it.
00:08:53.580
But mind you, though, that guy, that guy that's saying death to America,
00:08:56.820
how many of those people through the open border for four years
00:08:59.820
do you think are here, Nancy, waiting, waiting for that call?
00:09:08.220
Thomas Homan said, we're going to have something.
00:09:12.500
We have something that's going to be coming that's going to be worse than 9-11.
00:09:15.840
Sleeper cells can create low technology havoc on citizens.
00:09:20.400
Did you see this funny exchange when the guy, when the lady's asking,
00:09:37.740
or you believe the U.S. is moving closer to striking Iranian nuclear facilities.
00:09:44.580
You don't seriously think I'm going to answer that question.
00:09:54.980
Would you please inform us so we can be there and watch?
00:09:57.880
I mean, you don't know that I'm going to even do it.
00:10:06.960
It makes you miss Donald Rumsfeld when Donald Rumsfeld...
00:10:17.740
But there was a moment what he said was actually kind of funny.
00:10:21.460
We were told, you know, they're going to be protesting against, you know, Americans and everything.
00:10:26.040
On Saturday, it's a big demonstration in the middle of the street.
00:10:28.900
He says, so a large group of al-Qaeda in the middle of the street at noon on Saturday are going to be demonstrating.
00:10:35.980
And he said, would you happen to have the coordinates?
00:10:40.540
I don't know if Donald Rumsfeld's ever gotten a shout-out here, Tom.
00:10:49.520
I'm just saying in the annals of politicians at the microphone...
00:11:01.140
Jamie, you texted me at 922, and I'm talking about you right now on the podcast.
00:11:05.440
