Operation Epic Fury: US & Israel Strike Iran

In 2024, a truck crashed into Canaw in Moresque, where I work.

146 of our dogs needed homes fast.

We asked for help on Facebook.

Our stories spread through WhatsApp messages and Instagram reposts.

Immediately, people stepped up, and just six hours later, every dog was fostered.

I'll never forget how our community showed up for us.

There's no better coverage, I've been flipping around nobody's clothes.

There's people are angry, President Trump took action, six other presidents took a degree

of action, but this is going directly out of regime and they've lost at least 49 high-ranking

officials.

Best of all, who is the worst of all?

That's the grand diatola.

And before we get to Lawrence Jones, a little bit later, John Christ, we have to welcome

another great affiliate into the family of stations, KLOO Clu, over in Corvallis, Oregon.

They launched today, so we're privileged to have with them.

It's newsroom at 1340 Clu AM.

So there you go.

Thanks so much for joining on a historic day.

Lawrence, we've been covering this on Saturday for four hours and today for three hours.

We have thousands of attacks inside Iran, and we have, we have the best fighting force

pound for pound along with us in the world fighting with us, Israel.

Not our European allies, not our NATO allies, it's us in Israel.

How would you gauge the success so far?

Well, I think, you know, anytime you lose men and women, you're obviously praying for

them and all that.

But the mission as a whole has been an intelligent and military, you know, something that is

going to be studied in history books for generations to come.

Brian, I want to pick up on the conversation we were having off air, which is what the

Secretary of War and the general, the chairman of the Joint Chief was talking about.

Part of why the president made this decision is part of the rebuild of the program were

the defense systems.

And they were trying to not just rebuild the program, but if America did see them rebuild

in the program, they wanted their defenses to be at a level where they couldn't be attacked.

I think that is extremely important.

Well, the S 300 system is what the Russians and Chinese have, roughly, and they gave it

to the Chinese and it, excuse me, they gave it to the Iranians and the Israelis last

year blew up a lot of it.

And then we finished it off this time.

Now, I'm not sure what they have left, but it's showing that we could penetrate it.

Also, you heard the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff saying, we've done some things

with cyber.

I can't discuss right now, but it totally gave an illusion of a hail of drones and

fighter jets when there's really only a handful and there weren't even where they were

depicted.

So giving people a sense of seen ghosts.

Well, when you thought you were counting on your latest cyber technology.

Well, they also said, I'm trying to remember the president of the United States or the

war department that said that part of those cyber capabilities, a lot of them, they have

not even used yet, right?

So some of these were fresh, but they have more.

By the way, they also said that there's more of the fighting force than it's heading

that way.

So although the president wants to do this quickly, he also wants to get this right,

too, Brian.

Yeah, so last night, I talked to the chairman of the war college, a major John Spencer

up at West Point.

Here's what he said about what he's nice and what is your observations right now for

a guy that studies war every day, cut 15.

It's literally a change in the character of war, a historic operation that has no parallel

outside of Israel's 12-day war, the opening moments.

I don't think people are grasping.

I was on the ground in the invasion of Iraq.

It took us nine months to get Saddam and many of that deck of cards took us nine years

to get bin Laden.

Some of those Al-Qaeda leaders are still around.

Not many of them, but to eliminate the Ayatollah, the minister of defense, 40 senior leaders

in the first 24 hours, you put the fear of God and any enemy of the United States or

Israel.

Well, so, Brian, this is where I come at it.

I think prior, we had leaders with good intentions, but we're risk averse.

And I think what this war department under the president's leadership is saying, send

everything that we have.

Use all the technology that we haven't used before.

Let's get it done, let's get it done quickly, but we're going to come guns blazing to destroy

the enemy.

And I think that is a philosophy shift in the military.

I agree, go as hard as you can, overwhelming force and also send a message to our enemies.

And by the way, the Iranians have Russia and China as allies.

They were doing military exercises last week with Russia.

Where are they today?

Strong out, hold up against Ukraine, a country they were supposed to take in weeks.

They're now in their fourth year.

Here's General Dan Kane, the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, talking about the

objective so far, cut for it.

This is not a single overnight operation.

The military objectives at Senkham and the joint force have been taskwists.

We'll take some time to achieve.

And in some cases, we'll be difficult and greedy work.

We expect to take additional losses.

And as always, we will work to minimize U.S. losses.

But as the secretary said, this is major combat operations.

And what we did, we lost four guys, five wounded three were killed.

And we lost to another one about a few hours ago.

It looks like a drone got through and co-weight, and that's where it hit.

The other thing is the target's Iran has chosen to hit.

Not our bases, but our Gulf state allies, I mean, it's crazy.

This is also huge.

And the United Kingdom against us, for us, rather.

Well, I'm so glad you said that against us part, because that's what their intention

was before.

They wanted to unite them together against America, against Israel.

And by attacking them, they have a madness to do the opposite.

Brian, you've been doing this way longer than me.

So when I hear Democrats say they don't understand the misabjectives.

When I feel like they've been quite thorough with laying it out, what do you read that

being?

Is that just partisan politics or they really don't understand?

Well, they're probably, they should be honest and say, we wish we were briefed in more

detail.

I'd appreciate that.

But instead they said, we have no clear objective, Donald Trump doesn't know what he's

doing.

And I'm watching these clowns.

And I really mean that because it's not a matter of, you're not debating health carry,

you're not debating border security, you're debating war against an enemy that has been

transparent to anyone who's what was in high school in 1979.

You know, you watch this over and over again.

Every other day, whether it's the Iraq war, Saddam Hussein against Iran, whether it's

Israel being attacked and surrounded, you see the hostages being taken, you see the

Kobar towers being executed, you see, Bin Laden's family, they stopped on the way to getting

to Afghanistan, they stopped to refuel in Iran.

And when the war broke out and Bin Laden was forced away, most of his family stayed in

Iran.

They've been all over the terror attacks for us.

And then to fuel that insurgency and leave a militia in Iraq today, hurting our objectives

and bringing some semblance of order there, Iraq wants nothing to do with Iranians, but

they have no chance of standing up to them yet.

Now they can, but that's what they've been up to.

Please don't pretend as if we don't know what Iran has been up to for the last 47 years.

That's my problem.

When you come out against it, and man, I have a whole bunch of critics.

Listen to the worst.

Here's Chris Murphy, cut 29.

Nobody in this country is asking for war with Iran just like months ago, no one in this

country was asking for war with Venezuela.

This president is intentionally tanking our economy.

He's the most corrupt president in the history of our nation.

And Americans want him to focus on the crises here at home.

Instead, he is busy getting us involved in Quagmire's overseas that already are becoming

deadly to American soldiers.

This is a disaster.

It is illegal.

And the president has obligated another constitution to come to Congress and ask for an authorization

of military force.

No, he's not.

Go ahead.

And no credibility.

The president of the United States is intentionally tanking our economy.

Are you kidding me?

I mean, when you say that type of stuff, I can't listen to it.

And you layer this nonsense.

And I know, brother, we're is more, we're burning, I know, we're burning the first

edition.

What are you talking about?

What's the push back?

And you layer this insanity with our elected officials that are saying this nonsense.

And then we're not even going to talk about the people on the right right now.

We talked about that.

But then you got the UK.

What are you guys doing?

Where do you afraid of radical Islam is thriving in the UK right now?

Who do you think are inspiring these people?

And you don't want to give us access to the base.

And then once everything hits the fan, now you want to give us access.

Right.

And what happens is when we talk to the general secretary of NATO this morning, and he's

trying to cover a little bit.

But the prime minister says, well, I don't think we have authorization to have a war there.

Therefore, it's illegal.

You can't use Diego Garcia base.

We asked for it.

Now they, they were targeted.

And I think it was a cutter.

Their base was targeted in cutter.

So now they say they're going to support the effort.

France is going to support the effort.

And we also see Germany is going to support the effort.

Why?

Their barracks was hit in Erbil.

Of course.

So they said, we have to do this.

And the thing is, they wanted to say, I'm so and so

assaulted about Greenland and Donald Trump is acting impetuously.

And then they just watch an operation they weren't consulted on.

They weren't asked to contribute to.

And they see what goes on.

And I say, wait a second.

I think I'm on the wrong side of this because they're an enemy to us too.

They're an enemy to all of Europe.

They had rockets, missiles able to hit right into the heart of Europe.

And they know it.

And then they realized, how did this happen?

Right.

Now they jump in.

Right.

You know, why are they responding?

Like some of the Arab countries in the Middle East.

Like they're saying, oh, yeah, but privately, we support the president of the United States.

But we can't say that publicly.

Like you, at least you understand.

You disagree with the position, but you understand it because they got radicals in their population.

Right.

But why is the UK?

Why is NATO partners responding the same way as these countries?

It makes zero sense.

And when the president says and understand that there are many people from the UK, that

they fought and died in Afghanistan and Iraq.

But when the president said they're not going to show up, you prove him right where you

don't give us access to the base.

Right.

Yeah.

So now they've changed.

But I'll tell you this prime minister who's on death's store, who has a politician.

He looks scared to death making an announcement.

And they have a foreign minister who is on BBC or GBN over there.

And they was just saying, well, how, why don't you just firmly say that you support

over it?

You could not say it.

Over Iran.

They're scared that, but they're Iranian population where they think this is illegal war.

Was it illegal to kill 36,000 of their own people?

That's right.

Where was your outrage at this point?

How many more have to die?

How many more brits have to be taken hostage?

But that's why this president, and by the way, you know, what happened in Texas, you

know, apparently this guy is illegal, illegal from Senegal, but think about all the

legals that are in this country that came from that region.

Who was it that did that here in Pambondi that talked, lays out the state of the amount

of Iranians that are here, illegal in the country, the people that they know of and the

people that don't know of?

I mean, that, that, that screams.

This is why the president has a hard line on this issue.

Yeah.

By the way, there was over 1500 that came to our southern border from Iran, and Joe Biden

let 792 in, and that doesn't count the Godaways.

Right.

It's Godaways.

Right.

He's just know they're there, but you don't stop them.

You spot them, but you don't stop them, so they end up here.

Let's do one long segment, rather than keep you up for two.

I know you want to get started on your day, is that it's probably better.

Michael Orin said that he thinks the worst is going to come for us now, and here's the

reason.

Who is he?

He's the U.S. ambassador, he's the U.S. ambassador, the, excuse me, Israeli ambassador to the United

States.

He's also a veteran, cut 22.

My gut feeling tells me that Iran will focus more on American targets now than Israeli

targets.

They know by firing at us, they get, they get very small, very small payback.

Our anti-missile technology is taken down the vast, vast majority of these rockets, and

that foolproofs them, get through.

But they're going to try to create more American hostages, not as hard as American American

casualties in order to put more pressure on the president.

They feel the casualties will turn in around and get Democrats more exercised.

So he feels they're going to go for that.

I mean, I think it's definitely a possibility, but our defense systems are better.

And so I don't see that being as much as happening as it is, that they're going to focus

now on the homegrown people in America.

The inspiration ISIS-like videos is you're going to see propagating around there.

They are going to try the people that are sleeping within the country, get them riled

up, and you're going to have these one-off events.

Do we have a response for that?

I'm way more confident in this FBI than the other ones.

But Americans don't change their daily life, but you got to have your head on a swivel.

Yeah, yeah, there's people that are going to act.

But then I'm saying to myself, too, they're acting by the half of government that they

know most are dead and more will die.

So they have to say, well, this is my mission, wait a second, they got to put me on my

mission's dead.

Right.

So do I, do I, what, maybe I want to stay here?

So let's just hope that they're not too far gone if they're looking for terror activity.

So there's a worry, something can happen in an eye club or just happen in Austin, Texas.

Absolutely.

There's people they're going to be radicalized.

But the other thing you have to keep in mind, too, is that they told us that if you killed

Nasserah or religious leader, it's going to inflame an entire region, they killed Nasserah

a year ago, didn't do enough, didn't do anything.

There's a report, too, Nasserah always replacement was killed, minutes after declaring war on Israel.

And we'll see if that ends up coming out.

But I think Israel on some level welcomes Hezbollah shooting rockets in because I think

they want to finish them off, yeah, they want to finish them off.

And this would be, you know, they have a cease, tenuous cease fire and they want to

give Lebanon back to the Lebanese.

And they can't do it with that planter's word, that infectious cancer that's wielding

their power, financed by a fan and spare Iran and used to be financed by Syria, but

Assad's in Russia and Khomeini's in hell.

Yeah.

And I also, Brian, to that point, finishing the job, this is where I disagree with some

people on our side.

I believe in peace and I think that the president has a noble cause and he's been able

to get a lot of peace with a lot of Arab nations, Muslim nations, economic ties, economic

ties.

Different for these people and Iran.

They're on a suicide mission, they're clerics, they believe it is deep, it's religious.

I don't think there's a deal to be done.

You have to finish them off.

Yeah, finish them off.

They were supposed to be, before they died, they said, I told her said before he died,

that you have to go for deep.

So if something happens to you, everyone knows the depth chart.

I think we're about too deep, right?

Keep going.

Lawrence will see you tomorrow morning.

Thanks, Brian.

All right.

Jones doing a great job and I wore a mouth today, get another 22 minutes out of him.

Back with you in just a moment and John Chris, the bottom of the eye, don't move.

From breaking news to big name guests, Brian brings you inside.

You won't hear anywhere else.

You're listening to the Brian Kill Me Show.

That's pure automotive joy.

I'm Peter, the owner of Muscle Car Junior.

It's not as a hobby, then I started posting about it.

Before I knew it, I built the business for storing muscle cars on Facebook Marketplace

and the community of car lovers on Instagram.

Today, new customers send me what's that message is from all over.

Not bad for a hobby.

slash community.

The more you listen, the more you'll know.

It's Brian Kill Meade.

I call upon all Iranian patriots who yearn for freedom to seize this moment, to be brave,

be bold, be heroic, and take back to your country.

America is with you.

I made a promise to you and I fulfilled that promise.

The rest will be up to you.

And that is the President of the United States.

I thought in two eight minute dresses just nailed everything.

This is what we're doing.

This is what I worry about.

This is where I'm going.

He said, don't come out yet, Iranian people.

What when we're done, take back to your country, when people say, what's next?

As to Iranian people, what's next?

Because what's now doesn't work for us, because you made our now terrible.

And our now has lasted 47 years.

What do people not understand?

If Trump lined up a government, if Trump lined up a government in exile and said I'm going

to put them in at 12 o'clock March 5th, they'd say, what are you doing?

You're picking a government for another country.

That's called regime change.

What we're saying is that regime's targeting us.

Remember, the grand diatola said, death to America is not a policy.

It's not a slogan, it is a policy, all right?

And what have you done about it?

Well, I've let thousands of Americans die, started with 52 hostages being taken for

444 days.

What do we do?

Nothing.

241 Marines get blown up in Beirut.

What do we do?

Nothing.

Americans die in Iraq on an insurgency as Iran inserted themselves.

What do we do?

Nothing.

How many were maimed?

Over 1,000?

What do we do?

Nothing.

Salamani's dead, thanks to Trump.

They tried to do a deal under Obama.

He ripped that up, thankfully.

They passed on a deal with Biden.

And now, you're holding off of their lives.

If you're interested in it, Brian's talking about it, you're with Brian Kilmeade.

So one of our favorite guests of all time, I don't just say it because you can hear me.

John Chris, comedian, extraordinaire, just appearing in New York, even though you have

nothing in common with New Yorkers.

Why is that that you are selling out venues here?

You don't understand New Yorkers.

I live in New York.

I'm from New York.

I don't understand them.

Yeah, yeah.

But you're thriving in a culture that you wouldn't think embraces John Chris Humor.

Well, you don't know who's out there when you walk out to the show.

I mean, you've probably experienced this different areas of the country.

You walk out there.

You go, we'll see.

We'll see.

We'll see.

But they did choose to come by buying a ticket.

Yeah.

I think they did.

You know what's the best?

I'll say this to you.

The best cities for me to do comedy is blue cities surrounded by red.

Wow.

Okay.

That's what makes the bet.

Cuz you need a little bit of.

So you're always coaching me.

I'm where to do the show.

Yeah.

You're surrounded by like if you do Ashville, North Carolina, Seattle, very blue, but surrounded

by.

No, I'll see.

Just like practical people just need a little, you need a standing ovation and two people

walking out.

That's the perfect.

That's the perfect combo.

You're going to be at the Grand Old Opera in Nashville, March 8th and on the 19th Milwaukee

at the PAPS theater named after the beer.

It's not.

That's definitely the beer.

I guess every city is, is blue surrounded by the last time I had a PAPS.

I pulled off the tab and threw it on the ground.

Back up those days.

You didn't like it.

You shouldn't.

Yeah.

In the 1970s, everyone was cutting their feet open.

Cuz he didn't wear shoes.

And there were a lot of tabs that sounds like, that sounds like something my parents would

say.

And back when we were growing up, everybody was cutting their feet.

The Michigan theater in Jackson, that's going to be in Jackson, Michigan.

Yeah.

I mean, you have too many, go to go to John Chris dot com.

Too many on there.

Yeah.

I'm not there spreading the good word.

So that's why when you take off, you really need off.

You take off in the summers, right?

Yeah.

In the summers and in the winters.

So when you were in New York City, would you notice yesterday?

Cuz where, you know, you know what's going on with Iran?

Yeah.

Okay, okay, so we're just walking through Times Square and I see, we come across this,

you know, this hundreds of Iranian flags.

And so I go, everybody's yelling, screaming.

And you're thinking, okay, another protest.

Well, I go up to the cop.

I go, hey, are these people happy or sad?

Like are they, you know what I'm saying, I go for the yelling.

What side are they on?

What side are they on?

One cop goes, I don't know, I just got here, I asked this other cop.

So I go, I go, hey, cuz that was like, is this like a dangerous situation or any goes?

These people are happy, these people are thrilled.

People are crying in the streets.

And then what do you see with the signs?

Well, the signs said thank you, they were shouting Trump, Trump, thank you.

In New York City.

I could not believe, brother, Brian, I could not believe what I was seeing.

We just stood there, people were thanking me, cuz you're like, you're American, thank

you for what you've done.

All right, and especially in today, I think with AI, cuz you see something on Twitter.

Right.

You go, you know, like, there was no trust in it, no, no, remember you would see like a kid

in the cage and they were like, this is what, and then he was like, oh, that was from

2012, and you go, oh, well, I don't know what I'm looking at here.

You can't never trust what, so I saw it with my own eyes yesterday in this city.

So I can't tell you how embarrassed I am, even though I don't vote in New York City that

we have a mayor who basically hates the country and does, says billionaire should be illegal,

okay?

You're in trouble then, because you are a billionaire at this point, I mean, how does it

this show?

Yes, but you sell at every venue, it's got to be a billion dollars, but you don't pay

you crew any relation.

I mean, you give riders, you give them college credit, but many of them in their 50s.

I'm asking you, yeah, yeah, I'm asking you for tips, right, I don't pay my crew.

So listen to with the mayor since, and you said you were doing some mayor jokes last

time.

But he said, today's military strikes in Iran, meaning Saturday, this was written on

Saturday, carried out by the United States and Israel market catastrophic escalation in

an illegal war of aggression, bombing cities, King civilians, opening up a new theater of

war, Americans do not want this, really?

Well, it seemed like they did in Times Square yesterday.

Right, absolutely.

I would say this, it seems like we need to hear, maybe white women on the left, let's have

a seat for a little bit.

Thank you.

So if you live in Iran, or have a parents or family in Iran, I would like to hear from

you.

That's what if you live in Venezuela, I would like to hear from you, you know what I'm

saying?

Exactly.

I would say to myself, he's not even being sworn about.

He didn't make a call 1-800-a-Rani in Muslim, because if he did, he would go, yeah, this

regime is not popular at 99% of the 91 million, maybe 95% hate the regime, yet he's

deciding with the 5%, and if there were women out there, you don't have a hijab or a hijab

on.

You could be put in jail for life, or killed, right?

When I asked the brain room, because I didn't even trust AIS, he can you just run down.

What's the brain room?

We have a brain room, it foxes to get things right, so we have a place to go.

So it took rounds, so all shows have the same information in there.

That felt as it doesn't even know we have a brain room.

He has no idea.

He hasn't been fact checks since 1981, and that didn't go well either.

Okay, sorry.

You asked the brain room.

Yeah, I know that he's the only other guy you know besides me on the channel.

So you're like, in the brain room.

Right.

Well, don't you say it here?

But the women are just treated awful.

I mean, you know, you can, they're supposed to get married, parents can give you a way

of 13.

And let's get special dispensation, you can be married off at 11.

Yeah.

That's what Jane Fonda was, was protesting for, I mean, that's what she was doing over

the weekend.

And there's no like a, she was protesting against the Iranian regime for the, yeah, against

Trump.

Yeah, because no more North Vietnamese.

It's hard to really get some momentum going.

Did you, you know, you've ever been like in all these ice protests?

I've always, I've looked at them and I said, where are the Latinos?

Thank you.

Where are they?

Yeah, who are you going to back for?

Where, where are the Latinos that, like, they, I feel like they, and I could be wrong

and I'll speak for them, they're like, we don't want to legalize in our neighborhood either.

Right.

We don't want crime in our neighborhood either.

Like why, why aren't they here?

Exactly.

I've asked that about every protest to go, it's white, it's elite, white elites.

So you are, you're in the Hollywood world.

I mean, you're a celebrity.

Yeah.

You're in comedy.

Yeah, entertainment.

Yeah.

But then why aren't you wearing a little button that says ice out?

Yeah, why?

Because you weren't at the Grammy.

Yeah, you're not the dancing.

But you don't, you even, you know, it seems like everybody has to think for themselves.

And they, it's, it's for a career advancement.

Right.

If someone handed John Christ a button to say anything, you know, take it back.

I'll make my own, I'll make my own button or I'm not wearing it.

Right.

Yeah.

I don't even know where to make a button.

It's all about, can you believe it's still making buttons?

It's 2026.

Yes.

We're still making buttons.

Why do you have a button on it?

Yeah.

It doesn't, it's, it's, it's, I like how comedy, comedy is basically going, you know, we're

on the radio.

But it's gone.

Yeah.

About everything.

I agree.

We used to, we used to sit in the back of church.

My dad's a preacher and you go, we'd sit in the back of class in high school and go.

And that's what we're doing with everything.

You go, mm, and, and Trump in his credit, he's gone off to, and we'd said, mm, to him too.

Right.

He's, that's fair.

He's, he's.

Absolutely.

Yeah, he's like, yeah.

That's, he's okay to be criticized.

But sometimes when he's being clearly sarcastic and to take him literally, he goes, I don't

need him getting into heaven.

I see this article in New York Times, Donald Trump doubting the afterlife.

Yeah.

So what are you talking about?

He's kidding.

You know, what are you nuts?

I mean, like, look, when Rob Reiner dies, you don't need to say he didn't like Trump.

Yeah.

Right.

Well, I was just lately.

Yeah.

But that's what you're talking about.

I think everybody on the right could be like, yeah, it would be nice if he goes, yeah,

the escalation in Minnesota, it's not good for anybody.

He's actually said that.

Yeah, then nobody goes, oh, and if he did say that we didn't know about it, we somehow

didn't get on the airwaves.

Right.

Yeah.

Somehow didn't get to anybody.

Yeah, I don't think he goes, listen, I think we have to have a lighter touch.

Yeah.

Nobody wants to see two people die.

Yeah.

I'm like, okay.

That's a good reaction.

Yeah.

And now he says, Tom Homan, you're in charge.

Yeah.

So if you acknowledge the adjustment, I'll take your criticism more, but John, we've

had this.

We've had this time.

Every time we come in here.

So I want you to hear SNL, which I'm older than you.

So I remember when SNL, I used to sit there and laugh.

And just like enjoy both sides being ripped, George somebody pushes Tom Al Gore's stiff.

I know.

John Kerry is with a problematic English Clinton, too, they did the Clinton newspaper.

Will Farrell play dumb?

They went out there.

Farrell with Chevy Chase, making fun of Gerald R. Ford his club, Gerald Ford is clumsy.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, I don't remember that.

Dana Carvey, sorry, Dana Carvey, we used to do George H.W. Bush.

Yeah.

And he was so good, Bush invited him to the White House.

Yeah.

And then he invited Chase to the White House.

And he was going to say no, and Ford's like, listen, you've been killing me, I'm asking

one favor.

You can come to the White House, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

So I want you to hear this weekend.

I read about this.

I read the headline, and Eric pulled the cut, is this from, guys, is this from, we

conduct, oh, it's cold open.

Let's listen, of course.

Good evening, and happy World War III to all who celebrate.

It's me, Donald Trump, FIFA Peace Prize winner, and Nobel Peace Prize taker.

You know what?

I did that.

I launched this attack after me, and my board of fees decided that we were board of

peace.

We're a word play there to catch it, as we all know, Iran has been two weeks away from

developing a nuclear weapon for like the last 15 years or something.

So we had to act now, and we're doing war, war, what is it good for distracting from

the Epstein files?

Okay.

Right.

Right.

I mean, it's like you've like any anybody that we kind of run into on the right or the left,

we say, as comedians, like don't allow yourself to be co-opted.

Yeah.

So you're like, I probably wouldn't go to the inauguration either side.

So what comedian has to stay back and go, what, what, and if that like SNL has been co-opted.

Yeah.

Well, you can't, you know, does that make sense?

You can't trust what they're saying.

Well, it's the same thing with late night TV.

Yeah.

I mean, it's really the same thing.

I mean, it's because they can't even afford to alienate there with the left of their audience

and just declining by the day, by the second.

And I know we've been over this, but you could go find Carson Cuts, him and Reagan were

great friends.

Yeah.

He was killing Reagan.

I feel like, yeah.

With humor.

Guys killed Trump, and I think he's fun with them.

Right.

He's like, yeah, yeah.

But it's so simple, John, go hit Trump.

But then you have somebody in the left come out there and go and go, but by the way, Iran's

a problem.

But didn't you say 20 years ago they weren't proud?

Well, that was there.

So they know what I'm saying, like, okay, they're trying to, they're showing the extreme

on both sides.

Yeah.

And it, like, if you stay silent, like what we wonder back and during the election, when

we look at Charlie Kirk that was going on, like, who is an honest question for everybody

listening?

Who on the, like, if they killed Charlie Kirk for what he was standing up for, right?

Who on the left are you scared of what they would say?

Nobody.

Kamala, talk all you want.

Yes, please.

Go set, like, go on every pod.

The, the, I feel like the ideas break down.

All of the idea, they go, well, that doesn't make sense.

He said the women shouldn't be in the bathroom.

But then they, they, all the ideas, once they are on long form conversation, they fall

apart.

We wouldn't be scared of anyone on the left talking.

Absolutely not.

Absolutely not.

Michael, go ahead.

Go ahead.

Go, Rachel, matter, go.

Yeah.

Go, yeah.

Kamala, go, Joe Biden, go, what's his name in California, knew some, knew some, go.

Yeah.

And then, and then all the clips show up of them looking nuts.

We'll follow in all the war with work, correspondent John Christ, who's also when you have

seen my title on my website.

Yeah.

What I added to my Twitter box.

John, I know you had your next week.

You can move it up a week earlier, we're bombing a run.

Yeah.

And you scrambled to the country.

You scrambled.

You were sitting in me.

Right.

But you were last night was very successful.

Unbelievable.

Yeah.

You were at town hall.

I said, thank you for, thank you to Mamdani for getting these streets plowed.

I used to mic stand.

I was plowing.

It was great.

He was so terrible.

And also, sanitation forgot to pick up the garbage.

He had no idea.

They were just driving around with an empty truck.

They said, they were.

Shouldn't we be stopping?

Is that true?

No, you had to see how bad the sanitation was.

I don't know how he did it, but he got everyone in sanitation so angry they forgot to pick

up garbage.

Wow.

Oops.

Yeah.

They probably shoveled it.

Doesn't happen in Nashville where you were raised.

Yeah.

No, no, no, no.

But he's so, he's so nice.

Right.

So he woozed you.

Look at him.

I didn't tell you.

Have people told you look a little Ugandan?

I do.

Yeah.

A little Mamdaniish.

You do.

More in this moment, we also Gavin Newsome, you have an interesting way of winning

over audience.

So Gavin Newsome, I'm going to play his and maybe you want to use this in you with your

secret.

Let's learn.

Back in Mom.

Eliminating.

Intriguing.

Incocaating.

I know some of these words.

It's Brian Kilmeade.

This is Ainsley Earhart.

Thank you for joining me for the 52 episode podcast series, The Life of Jesus.

A listening experience that will provide hope, comfort and understanding of the greatest

story ever told.

Listen and follow now at FoxNewsPodcasts.com or wherever you listen to podcasts.

Radio that makes you think, this is the Brian Kilmeade show.

The track is on CNN, I say that Trump had no authorization for this war, but he actually

did.

Netanyahu said it was okay.

I can't believe I leader could just attack Iran with no vote, no permission from Congress

or anything.

I mean, what is this, Iran?

There you go.

It's weekend update over the weekend.

An equal opportunity, a fan of John Christie's here.

John, where do we get all, I mean, not that you need it, but because your social media drives

everybody to your shows, but where do we get your whole list of shows?

Oh, man.

Uh, Johncriscomedy.com.

Okay.

We got 35 dates in the spring.

35 dates.

Get out there, brother.

Where's a couple weekends?

Even Billy Joel just called it say, dial it back.

Yeah.

You know, I mean, this is like this is like a stadium at a time.

It's incredible.

The people, uh, the people need to be encouraged.

Right.

Yeah.

How much new material are you writing?

100.

It's all new.

I mean, it's not all new from last night tonight, but it'll be you building, yeah, throw

a couple of jokes.

And now I can't do the Mamdani jokes in Louisville.

You might.

It only works here.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Um, so the weekend update.

Well, what's wild about, what's wild about listening to that?

And those are, those are comedians that we all came up together.

They do stand up.

Yeah.

What's wild about that is.

It's written for you.

Like, that's not what they think.

You know what I'm saying to like, why would you, like, that's a serious, serious, what

you're saying there.

That's corporate.

Yes.

And you're saying it.

Right.

Like, that's the, what's the, that's the antithesis of what a comedian was supposed to

be?

Do the opposite.

Said corporate told me to write this.

I'm not like, remember, uh, what's his name that would go, would go, would go, Norm

McDonald would say why he goes, not on the prompter and just go off the script and

Conan was, they, that's why they love that guy.

Yeah, they'll hold on.

I cannot believe he's saying this.

Yeah.

Imagine being the cold read through and you get literally from corporate, say those words

we just heard and you can think you're the, like, you're the, you're the, you're the

main stream.

You're not the opposition.

Does that make sense?

Yes.

And by the way, John Christ is here and that's just a little of the Saturday Night Live

that nobody watched.

But I want you to hear Gavin Newsom not trying to be funny, but tell me if you think this

is an effective way to win over a mostly black audience.

Let's hear it.

I'm not, you know, I'm not trying to impress you.

I'm just trying to impress upon you.

I'm like you.

I'm no better than you, you know, I'm a 960 SAT guy and, you know, and I'm not trying

to offend anyone, you know, trying to act all there if you got 940.

Literally a 960 SAT guy.

I cannot, you've never seen me read a speech because I cannot read a speech.

So do you feel like you're more like a, he's going to tell me.

That's like, that's like, all right.

If I said, hey, Brian, come over to my hotel room later.

You'll be safe.

You're like, why did you say you'll be sick?

Why did you say that?

You're like, I'm just like you.

Why did you say, so what do you, what do you think about me?

It comes through.

And yeah, and he blessed Foxy.

I go, Cornell West.

What do you blast in Fox for Cornell West said that you're since that's the most racist

thing he's ever seen?

So wildest thing I've ever seen.

Right.

Well, at 960's bad.

Right.

Very bad.

But evidently, back then, it was, that's average.

So he's saying I have average SAT scores and he has dyslexia.

So one of the reporters asked, can you just show me where the paperwork is that you have

dyslexia because you just comment to the other day that you read a book in an hour

and a half?

And he's like, they said, hey, thanks for the information.

I remember that.

Yeah.

FU.

Yeah.

Now, that was from his communications director.

You said, yeah, you said it, just help us help us help us help you help us help you.

Right.

Yeah, it's wild that it all just kind of kind of comes apart after you go, yeah, here's

the mic.

We see this all the time.

If we get another one, will you come back?

Yeah, I'll be here.

You will be back.

Only if.

I need the expert.

Yeah, I'll be.

John Chris is nobody fine here.

Thanks so much.

Find him wherever he goes, wherever he is at JohnChris.com.

Great to be here, as always, brother.

Back in a moment.

From the Fox News radio studios in Midtown, Manhattan, it's the fastest growing radio talk show,

Brian Kilmeade.

Hi, everyone.

So good.

You there.

It's the Brian Kilmeade show coming your way, 186408, 7669, this hour, we welcome back

to the show.

Michael Goodwin shortly and rear admiral Mark Montgomery.

He's the senior director of the center on cyber technology and innovation for the freedom

of defense of democracies.

Keep in mind, cyber has a lot to do with this.

They can't detail yet, but they were creating illusions for these Iraqi monitors with their

missile defense.

Meanwhile, oil is a problem.

Oil is rising per barrel.

We knew when you have an operation like this one in Iran, where 20, I guess 20% of the

world's oil, mostly UAE Saudi Arabian cutter, go through that straight-hove omuz.

They are, there's a threat right now from Iran and they could mine it and therefore it's

hard to get insurance, so merchantships are pretty much not going through.

So we'll see, about 15 million barrels of oil go through there.

So that is one thing to keep in mind.

Also the gang of eight to receive a briefing on Iran today, tomorrow will be the Senate.

And the house would be, I think on Wednesday, when the second half of tomorrow, I'm not

clear on that.

Right now looks like in terms of oil, $72 per barrel, a couple of things.

After wiping out 49 of the 49 leaders, including the grand diatola, it looks like this guy,

large Johnny is in charge now.

He says he will not negotiate with us good.

This guy is as brutal as he gets.

He wasn't toward the Gulf States and warned them not to get involved.

They got involved.

They allowed us to use their bases.

They are striking the Gulf States back there for unifying the Gulf States and galvanizing

them for the first time.

They have their own mini NATO.

They might keep militarily in action.

Also they've hit assets in trying to hit us.

They've hit assets for the French, for the Germans and the British all have now said they

are going to get involved and will help out.

What's that going to mean?

Well, Michael Goodwin always writes with great perspective for the New York Post.

This latest column, especially the death of the vital committee instantly makes the world

a better place.

Michael, people are saying, why do we need this war of number one?

His death makes us all safer, don't you think?

I do, Brian.

Thank you.

I look there will always be questions about war, but I think that the president laid out

very clear markers about the nuclear program around had, and there were certainly many opportunities

for Iran to find a way out of this, instead they basically thumbed their nose at every

demand.

Hey, so here we are.

President's wiping out so many, and not easily, you know, Venezuela, we still got to land

that plane, but man, so far so impressive.

And then Cuba, I think, is ready to blow.

And the other big story that not everyone dating back to the 1960s, President has tried

to convert back to democracy, it has not worked.

It's about to end, it seems.

And then Iran's been a problem since 1979, listen to general, the chairman of the Joint

Chiefs of Staff, Dan Kane, talk about what they're up to now, and why they're, why we're

in this mission, cut five.

Across every domain, land, air, sea, cyber, the US Joint Force delivered synchronized

and layered effects designed to disrupt, to grade, deny, and destroy Iran's ability to

conduct and sustain combat operations.

On the US side, this marked the culmination of months, and in some cases years of deliberate

planning and refinement against this particular target set.

From precision strikes against key military infrastructure, to persistent intelligence,

and targeting integration, to the close coordination of the components across vast distances,

this operation, again, demonstrated America's reach, readiness, and professionalism, and

that of our joint united force.

He's not exaggerating.

No, I have to say, by right out of the box, I was incredibly amazed at how broad this

attack was.

And when you look at all the different bases, the nuclear sites, and of course, the leadership,

everything was planned.

I mean, you had this armada in the region, and of course, you had the Israeli component.

So this was a vast planet.

You wonder who could keep all the many elements in their head, or even on their computer, because

this thing would have so many fronts in it, so many assets used.

This is a remarkable attempt to decapitate the leadership, and to really dethrone the

whole administration in Iran, and of course, to feed it militarily, take out the nuclear

sites, take out the missiles.

This was some operation for the ages.

No question.

And it was amazing how many people are playing politics, who have high level security

clearances, and still can't help themselves to be so inappropriate.

If Joe Biden had done the same attack, Lindsey Graham, Tom Cotton, and the others, they would

say, in great job.

They said, this has been an objective.

They've been a problem since 1979.

Here to listen to Senator Mark Warner on the Intelligence Committee, by the way, cut

30.

I think the president has started a war of choice.

There was no imminent threat to the United States.

So the decision to put our service members in harm's way, and bases around the region

in harm's way, was entirely based upon the president's decision not an imminent threat

to America.

I think it is incumbent that the president of the United States comes before the American

people and the Congress, and makes the case of why he has chosen to go to war at this

point.

So do we really need to educate him, Michael, that he knows better than this?

Yeah, look, I think there's a rule in the Democratic Party, man.

You cannot say anything nice or good about Donald Trump.

He's up for John Federman, perhaps.

But look, I think, as I say, Brian, they know better.

I mean, the word imminent threat, whereas I mean tomorrow, but what about six months?

So is that imminent enough?

I mean, this race to the nuclear weapons, and this use of the proxies around the world

just threats, as late as the last week, to assassinate President Trump, again, on Iranian

government television.

So this idea that there's no imminent threat, you can stretch the word imminent to infinity.

But I think the president saw that a threat was building, and you had a government that

was eager and willing to go on offense against us, against our allies, against our troops.

And so in the end, the president from my perspective decided he did not have a lot of toys.

It was now, or it was three months from now, or six months from now, all of those will

qualify as imminent threats.

So Michael Goodwin, our guest, and Michael, we far let you go.

The mayor of New York City making headlines again for being thoroughly un--un-un-un-American.

He writes on Saturday.

Today's military strikes on Iran carried out by the U.S. and Israel market catastrophic

elevation in an illegal war of aggression, bombing cities, killing civilians, opening

up a new theater of war.

Americans do not want this.

I mean, does this guy can understand in his city, their 90% of the protests were four,

President Trump saluting him in New York City for taking out, I told a committee, you know

Iranians.

The reason they're here is because that brutal dictator took over, and they were lucky

enough to get out, maybe without their money, but they were lucky enough to escape.

That's a very good point, and it strikes me that the generation that elected mom Donnie

does not understand Iran, as well as those of us who were alive in 1979, and paying attention

to what they did with the hostages, how they repressed their own people, how they killed

American soldiers in Lebanon, I mean, the history of this regime is drenched in blood and

repression, and so we put a new generation, the mom Donnie included, not to understand

this, just shows the dangers of ignorance.

Absolutely.

Thanks so much.

Michael Goodwin and the New York Post catch his columns every week, more than once.

Michael Goodwin, thanks so much.

My pleasure, Brian.

You got it.

Meanwhile, bottom of the hour, rear admiral Mark Montgomery, next to you, so you had a

chance to see all this war coverage, including one nation last night.

I know you watched.

What's on your mind?

What do you think about, what do you worry about?

Did you hear enough from those press conferences, from the president's social media posts?

I did, but maybe you didn't, and that's okay.

You listen to Brian and kill me, Joe, one eight, take six, four, eight, seven, six, six,

nine.

Real talk, real guess, real insight, where curiosity meets conversation, is the Brian

Kill Me, Joe.

Breaking news, unique opinions, hear it all on the Brian Kill Me, Joe.

This is not a rack.

This is not endless.

I was there for both.

The generation knows better, and so does this president.

He called the last 20 years of nation building wars dumb, and he's right.

This is the opposite.

This operation is a clear, devastating, decisive mission.

Destroy the missile threat, destroy the Navy, no nukes.

That is Secretary of War, Pete Hegseth, after his press conference about 90 minutes ago,

hitting us on day three of the war against Iran, and with, in it with another formidable

fighting force Israel, and the results have been so far, fantastic, but let's go to another

expert.

We're Admiral Mark Montgomery, senior director of this, the senior director of technology

innovation.

In fact, he's coming up in about 15 minutes, he'll come on next, innovation for freedom

on defensive democracies.

I'm going to get his take on how it's going, because you know, we have an admiral Cooper

running things now in the Middle East, who came in, talked about the battle plan, coordinated

with the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, and it's been phenomenal.

I know there's some friendly fire that took down three of our jets in Kuwait.

That seems to be a Kuwaiti issue, but thankfully our pilot to RoK, it's costing us a zillion

dollars.

But you got to think there's going to be some miscommunication and coordination, John

listening on the Fox News Radio app in California.

Hey, John.

Good morning, Brian.

I watched your show last night.

I wanted to bring up a point that's important.

You know, I was in the Navy in 1980 all the way to 23 years.

I spent five tours over and off the coast of Iran.

People have to remember, before 1980, we didn't spend the amount of money that we spent

just to support the forces over there.

We even stood up at Fifth Fleet in 1996, I believe.

I was part of Naval Gunfire support off the coast of Beirut because shooting at the proxies

that killed our Marines.

And in 1998, Operation Prem Mantis, they nearly sunk Samuel B. Roberts killing people.

And we were over there Operation Prem Mantis in 1988.

The amount of damage is country that's done.

Thank God we have a president that got the guts to take care of this after almost 50 years.

I want you to hear this.

Here's Tim Cain, cut 32.

This is an illegal war, Shannon, because the representative cited the statute, but he

neglected to mention the Constitution.

And the Constitution can't be changed by statute.

The Constitution says no declaration of war without Congress.

The president has called this war against Iran.

So by the way, the senator is just so disingenuous.

That senator knows we have not had a declaration of war since World War II.

And then you have a situation where you have 60 days, you brief Congress for 48 hours

prior.

And then you have 60 days in order to come back to Congress and why you want to extend

it.

So the War Powers Act is a joke, but Senator Tim Cain is older than you.

He knows the danger of Iran.

He just doesn't like the Trump did it.

You still there, John?

Yeah, I'm sorry.

I was listening to you.

Brian, I hear that guy talk every time with it with stuff like this and I get sick.

The other one is a Mark Kelly.

That guy is even worse than Tim Cain.

I don't understand these people that have a military understanding of the military and foreign

policy.

Why they can be completely other than politics.

We all know what the reason is.

Anything Trump does, they are against.

So thanks so much for the call, John, and for your service and perspective.

So a couple of things.

I was on a call on Saturday with high level Trump officials.

And I just want to relate to it, relate to you what I know about the talks.

One of the reasons why the talks were fruitless and there was never any promise is because

they said, don't enrich, they said we're going to enrich.

We might start and he goes, well, we'll not enrich for three to five years.

We said, there's no end.

You're never going to be able to enrich.

If you need nuclear energy, air quotes, you'll be able to enrich outside the country

and bring it in.

You're never going to be able to enrich.

You've got to need to do that.

And then he said, well, we need to also immediately be able to still use nuclear energy

for our medical research.

There's no proof they ever used it for medical research.

We had stuff there in the 60s.

It's basically useless now.

So that's a lie.

When it came to ballistic missiles, oh, we're not even considering getting rid of the

ballistic missiles.

There's 2,500 medium range and 1,500 long range.

They were not considering dismantling.

They did not promise to stop.

When it came to, they didn't even get to entertaining, stopping to finance, has blown

hummus, which would be almost impossible to re-inforced.

The other thing that's important to bring up is they know how to make their own centrifuges.

So therefore, if we're watching elements and material needed to make centrifuges, it

wouldn't matter.

Everything would be happening inside the country.

And they already were starting to rebuild two of their nuclear sites.

We said flat out.

If you start rebuilding a nuclear site, you're going to blow them up again.

We still decided to talk.

And that's what happened.

It's a colossal waste of time to talk, but they don't retrump.

Don't you know you don't have a terra mastermind.

You never recover from this because Sulamani's dead got out in Iraq to create more havoc

because our 2500 troops there were getting bombed daily from militias in the region.

As soon as he landed, we blew them up and his cohorts.

They never recovered.

They promised to kill Trump.

They said, we're going to pay the price.

So then they're going to go back at it.

Trump's going to leave him in power because, I don't know, the price of eggs is not, didn't

come down fast enough.

And all these people with high level security clearances know what they're trying to do.

They got 792 get into our country from our southern border, 1500 were apprehended.

How many Godaways?

What are they doing?

Are they looking for a better day or they're looking to ruin our day?

I have a whole page of criticism of this operation, which has been flawless.

We don't know exactly what's going to happen.

We don't have a government ready to go that we choreographed and curated that we're going

to plug in.

That is foolish.

And also, stop saying Iraq and Afghanistan would done more.

It's people fought there, lost limbs there.

The objective of going to Afghanistan, everybody wanted to go into Afghanistan.

Being there, the way we did it, you want to criticize the operations on in and you'll

betray us to go over for Crystal.

And if you want to talk about that, not getting bin Laden right away, that's fine.

But there's a reason to go in there.

And Saddam Hussein was our enemy for 25 years.

They kept warning inspectors.

We found after the first Persian Gulf War, more weapons of mass destruction in there.

We thought he was lying again in the end.

He was deceiving, but he was still neglecting to trying to push us off in order to rebuild

the stockpile and become the menace of the Middle East again.

That's what people should understand.

Here is a semi-clear thinking Democrat, Josh Gothermer, cut 35.

The fact is Iran has been, and we've, we've all watched it in our lifetimes, the leading

state sponsor of terror.

They haven't backed off their nuclear program.

They haven't brought, backed off their terror program where they're supporting proxies

around the world that have attacked Americans, our bases, killed Americans in our service

members, and of course our allies.

And the reality is, it's not just killing others around the world, what they've done

to their own people who've sought freedom and democracy, killing tens of thousands of

their own people.

So we're going to try to kill as many as them as possible, hire ups, and then give these

people of Iran a chance to run their own country and no longer be a manace to everybody.

If Iran is not in the picture, Saudi Arabia falls in, Qatar falls in, all these other Gulf

states fall in, they normalize relations with Israel, and they start growing their economies

and improve the lives of their people.

That's the only way we're going to pivot to other challenges like China.

I'm going to talk to a rear-admed Mark Montgomery about that and get your perspective right

after Brian Kilmeet's show.

The fastest three hours in radio, you're with Brian Kilmeet.

The Navy that they have is small, but capable, and what we have been most concerned about

is putting minds in the streets of her moves, which can shut down oil traffic, and that

would be a major accomplishment for the Iranians.

We have pretty much destroyed most of the ships that would be involved in that activity

to include much of their headquarters has been pulverized.

So that is a major accomplishment as well.

So that is General Jackine is up today in the very cutting edge of information.

He also runs the Institute for the Study of War, and he hotspot in the world.

He's got the latest intel, whether it's Ukraine and now Russia, and now you have this.

Oil prices rose sharply as when trading started today.

Keep in mind, people concerned about the trade of her moves were 15 million barrels of crude

oil go through a day.

They're worried about it being mined.

There's threats from Iran.

We'll see.

Their leader, Al-Arajani, is continuing to say that the US did a foolish thing, putting

the whole region on the clock.

River Admiral Mark Montgomery joins us now.

Admiral, welcome back.

How do you think this operation is going?

You heard the briefing with Dan Cain.

You heard the briefing with Secretary Hague Seth.

What do you think?

I've already pressed, right?

They started out with a 900 day strike first day.

That's aggressive.

And that's what having 200 Israeli strike fighter planes alongside almost 200 American

strike fighter planes and the Tomahawk's launch from ships and the attack comes launched

from land and some Lucas independent drones.

So that's a lot of strike and it allowed you to do more than one very important thing

it was.

So the very, very important one, strike the leadership compound during the meeting, which

is why we had a daytime strike critical.

Obviously, mission accomplished there in terms of getting the number one guy in four,

five of the top 10 guys with him.

Number two, suppression of enemy air defense, so everything else gets through.

That happens almost simultaneously with the first strike.

And then number three, beginning to pick off the ballistic missiles that are fielded out

there ready to launch it, the U.S. forces are on and clearly that's partially accomplished.

And we knew that's a multi-week campaign.

If you want to reduce their ballistic, their ability to fire ballistic missiles, cruise

missiles, and drones at the United States, forces, and Israel, and our Arab allies, we

are going to have to strike them for two to four to six weeks, depending how far back

we want to rubble eyes on.

Yeah, we got to stop, we got to stop the launchers, right?

And do you think it's an accurate number, short, short range missiles, 2500, 1500 long range?

Do you buy that number?

We've taken out 200 launchers so far and they've launched, they think starting today,

about 300 of those rockets.

So there's launchers and there's storage units.

So I think we probably hit more missiles total than the number you'll hear launchers plus

those fired, but I think I would go with the number like 40% either attrition or launched

so far, so a lot more to go.

But I'd go beyond that, I should have mentioned, Brian, what the Israelis wanted to do after

day 12 in which we kind of cut them off from.

I would hit the deeply hit the missile production in the secondary tertiary supply, Jay

Facilities.

I mean, there needs to be, that's why this is two to four to six weeks, two weeks.

We'll unfreeze you, hopefully, yeah, we might have lost, we're just going to get him

right back up.

Okay, we got you back, okay?

We do, yeah.

Two to four to six weeks is what I would say, two weeks to get the stuff they got and

four to six weeks, the stuff they wish they had, you know, the future stuff.

And we really got to get the drones as well.

So a lot of them were in the ground and that's where the B2s did, correct?

They want those great distances.

This time is set up blowing up nuclear facilities.

They'll trying to blow up the in ground facilities, correct?

And they can do that every night, you know, just set the clock to it, different pilots,

different planes launch and go.

We can move beyond B2s if we want to as well and use B1s and B52s if desired.

I'd keep it with B2s for a while, just because you don't want to lose a plane with a lot

of strategic value, but we can do this every night.

So they're hitting the Gulf states, they've hit, they've gone after Qatar a lot, dozens

of times.

They are enraged Saudi Arabia, got hit this morning, at least my, morning, my time.

And then the UAE got hit immediately and Kuwait's been on the target list.

So do you believe they're, they're not hitting our bases necessarily.

They seem to be hitting civilian targets, hotels and other things.

Do you think that's intentional or is that, is that the lack of sophistication among

their weaponry, what are they doing?

So I'd add a third one in, debris from an actual intercept that then hits them.

I did see one of those, there's this good video of a spiraling ballistic missile that

hits a port facility that was, you know, a big, huge fire from the, I think Bahrain.

Right.

Yeah, and so yes, and Bahrain.

And so, but they are hitting some, some of those are clear drones into hotel building

13th floor.

I'm sorry, that's intentional.

The second one is just, we were trying to get a ballistic missile near military facility

and your hotel happened to be nearby.

And the third, but you're accountable for that and the third is debris and you're accountable

for that.

So fires in Arab state have been mad and I'll bet the UAE United Arab Emirates is this

close Brian to conducting offensive operations.

They, they despise the Iranians more than any other state.

I really think they're this close to joining us.

Admiral, you know, it's interesting they were having a war of words with Saudi Arabia,

but they put that, but as soon as they were hit, Saudi Arabia said, I got your back.

So the Gulf states have something in common.

Admiral, I can't believe, you know, being on the air in 9-11 when those planes hit.

I cannot believe we're in a situation where those states, whether it's Bahrain, Qatar,

UAE, Saudi Arabia, Egypt to a degree in Jordan, it's been there.

And perhaps Syria eventually, they're talking about economies, they're talking about trade

deals.

And they're talking about, they were not talking about terror in their midst.

Don't you feel as though the Middle East is making progress and the upside to Iran no longer

being this bastion of terror could help accelerate that?

100%.

I mean, Iran is the, it was like the scorpion, you know, riding around on the, on the frogs

back there, really ready to ruin it for everyone.

And they still make, by the way, with mining the straights or moves, but, but, you know,

this is an opportunity.

It's an opportunity for the, eventually for the Abraham Accords to grow and includes

Saudi Arabia.

I don't want to get too far ahead of ourselves, but there is opportunity here, clearly our

support for this differentiates us from China and Russia, who armed Iran, right?

And that was the other option.

So I think this really brings together Israel, the Arab states and the United States in a coalition,

you know, committed to removing the Iranian autocracy.

Admiral, how do we get the enriched uranium?

How do we get the uranium out of there?

I know we buried it on the strike and midnight hammer, but how do we go about that?

This is going to have to be, my pro, that will have to be after there's a change in how

the, you know, read the regime change or change in how the regime approaches nuclear weapons

because of where it is.

I mean, you're going to need some consent to get, to get, you know, to secure hold and

remove.

That is not something you sent a couple of soft guys in to scoop up in a bag and pull

out.

You know, that's going to have to be done by professionals.

Okay, we'll see how that goes.

So I'm not sure that Israel is that upset that Hezbollah got involved.

Now all of a sudden, you know, I think really you want to start this now.

And I believe that the IRGC, last week I read the IRGC is so frustrated with Hezbollah slow

pace and rebuilding, they basically took it over and started reorganizing.

And maybe the word came out from who was left in Iran, start distracting the Israelis,

send some rockets in.

They sent about five in including some drones last night.

And now the Iranian, the Israelis are hitting back hard.

So you agree with me on that?

I do.

I hope this is just like a two day, you know, like a quickie because look Israel, Israel,

in Israel's mind, hey, they could do this and go back to Iran.

The problem is they don't know Donald Trump's pull, you know, when he pulls the cord on

this.

So they want to do as much damage as they can in Iran, what they can.

They can always come back and hit Lebanon, whatever they want.

I think they did something quick that is they stop.

And then in the meantime, go ahead.

And they do have some airplanes that are probably better configured, have 16s and such,

better configured for handling Lebanon, then Iran, you know, range wise and everything.

So, but it does limit them.

So you do a little bit of spanking of Hezbollah, put a marker down, I'm coming back, continue

to hammer Iran.

Again, then come back to Lebanon when President Trump calls ceasefire.

Admiral, how does this end?

What is, what is the successful ending in Admiral Mark Montgomery's mind?

Well, in my mind, it is that there is an act, you know, activism starts up again.

The people in the streets protest.

The problem is when we did this in 2011 in Libya or 1919 in Kosovo, air only campaigns,

you had to have an armed, you know, international peacekeeping force on the ground.

I remember that.

The KLA in Kosovo, the former army guys in Libya, you know, we don't have that right

now.

So, this is going to be tough.

And I am worried about the straights or her moods.

General Keynes, right?

We saw out there in the Navy.

But the way they dump mines can be like a couple of bog hammers and Brian and Mark go out

and push them out the back.

I mean, these guys are not doing Geneva convention mining, right?

You know, they're, you know, so, and then there's this group in London called the Joint

War Council.

It says, okay, it's listed.

So one can go through there and suddenly straights or her moods.

Again, that's the scorpion bite in the frog because their bodies need the straights

open as well, but they might do that.

All right.

Exciting times, Admiral.

We know this enemy has been going after us for decades.

I know that's been part of your portfolio forever in your profession, your career admiral,

your admiral life.

And now we're addressing it directly.

And I think the president is attacking all of the nation's biggest challenges head

on.

And our Secretary of War is done a fantastic job along with the chairman of the Joint

Chiefs of Staff.

But I guess there could be hard days ahead.

We could be talking in a week and there could be some difficult days.

But the objective is needed.

And I think anyone who puts some time in and puts politics aside has to see it that way.

I just want to see your thoughts on this.

100%.

And I really want Cain and Hexett sounded great this morning, but they said the truth.

This needs to be two to four to six weeks.

I know the president likes to find, he doesn't want guys dying in forever wars.

I get that.

But this is one of the things that we require two to four to six weeks, depending how far

back you want to push them.

And if you're going to get the kids out in the streets again, I think it needs to be

more of the four to six week version.

But we can really, really end the missile drone and nuclear threat from Iran with a longer

campaign.

So we have the structure to do it.

General Cain sounded that way, Brian.

And for those people who think Israel is behind it, read the Washington Post.

It was Saudi Arabia put in UAE pushing for us to do this.

Trump's got their trust going in and now he really has it today.

Admiral Mark Montgomery, thanks so much.

See you, thanks for having me.

You got it.

Thanks for streaming too.

1-866-408-766-9.

Get aboard.

I got your emails too.

You listen to Brian Kilmeachow.

It's Brian Kilmeade.

The talk show that's getting you talking.

You're with Brian Kilmeade.

Nothing has changed, you know, you know, military capability.

This is exactly what happened last time.

You remember in June when Israel attacked us.

They killed some of our top commanders at the beginning of the strikes.

But they were replaced very soon and in less than 12 hours, we were able to start retaliation.

This time, it was even, you know, faster.

In less than two hours, we started to, you know, retaliate by attacking, you know,

Israeli targets and, you know, American bases in the region.

And we have continued to do so.

So our military is in place.

So, so by the way, this guy is just spinning his head off.

That's the Iranian foreign minister interviewed on this week with George Sevenopolis.

Really, your capability has not been heard.

They've hit over 900 sites in the first two hours, including wiping out 49 of your higher ups.

Now look, I don't expect you to say, we're losing.

But you're losing a lot.

And this is one of the most effective strikes on any country you will ever see.

But go ahead, you know, it's interesting.

Someone brought up right after I wonder if Marco Rubio is going to be interviewed on the Iranian television.

It is kind of interesting.

We got war with somebody.

But hey, let's get the foreign minister on to find out what Iran thinks.

Danny, you're over in Israel.

Hey, Danny, what's on your mind?

Hi, Brian. How are you doing?

Good. How important? How are you doing?

Well, you know, Brian, we unfortunately we are used to that.

We have a quite broad experience with these situations.

Our military are doing well.

We have intercepted more than 95% of their missiles.

Unfortunately, we have an incident yesterday in the Chermesh, where nine people were killed.

But all in all, I think that you're doing an accident.

Yeah, I mean, put it this way, Danny.

How do you feel about the northern front opening up?

Do you think Hezbollah is there for the long haul?

Do you want to finish them off now?

How is that resonating inside Israel?

Yeah, I think they did a stupid decision.

Because this time we are going to go full victory against them.

They're going to be arrested completely.

They shouldn't have. Now, they are damaging.

First of all, the Lebanese, you know, because this time in Beirut, you are going to strike.

And the Lebanese infrastructure is going to be hurt.

So, but, you know, there's always that.

What Danny is trying to say is we want to get Lebanon out.

The Lebanese to run Lebanon again.

And Hezbollah is basically just taking over that country.

But they have thousands of missiles.

The question is, can we get to them before they use them?

Danny, thanks so much for the call.

Speaking of Israel, Natali Bennett was on the Sunday briefing yesterday.

He was the Prime Minister.

Might be again, cut 20.

I think the big lesson is do not mess with President Trump.

I think President Trump has shown tremendous resolve and courage and his words matter.

And when people take his words lightly, they pay an immense price.

And I think very few people imagined that President Trump would lead this sort of thing.

And I think the whole region afterwards will be thankful and the world will be thankful.

Because already now, the world is a safer place compared to yesterday.

And that's because we acted now.

And about nine people have died already in Israel.

They're getting rocketed and he's still saying we're grateful.

Because they're dealing with a problem that existed.

They got up every day and looked right and there was, has blood left and there was some moss.

Looked across the border, the Golden Heights.

There was Syria with an angry, angry leader in Assad.

And also a tenant called Iran, lobbing missiles.

So they were attacking on all three sides.

And then incomes, the Houthi rebels with the long distance shots.

So now we're addressing all of them.

So far the Houthi said we're in, but I have not seen them do anything yet.

Maybe they keep in their powder dry.

We'll have to see.

So I loves also struck by how many Democrats are critical of this.

Who are obviously running for president.

Like listen to Rokhana.

This guy wouldn't embarrass many as cut 34.

Let me say this.

Camini was a brutal dictator.

But Americans are not safer today.

Look, Senator Graham cheerlead us into the Iraq war.

He cheerlead us into the effort with Libya.

And Trump ran against him in 2016.

He said regime change wars are absolute failures.

And that has escaped Donald Trump.

And now you have a situation in Iran where the IRGC is still in power.

The assembly of experts are going to pick the new leader.

By the way, they were picking the new leader before we killed Ayatollah.

The Ayatollah was 86.

And the question is, is the country going to descend in civil war?

Are billions of our dollars going to be spent there?

Are our American troops going to be at risk?

So you talk about a guy that's playing pure politics.

One two days in there, still in power.

So they killed 49 people.

That's not good enough for you.

Now they killed the new guy, the head of the IRGC.

They killed him the next day.

So they're going to get large in Donnie.

They're going to get all these guys.

And little by little, they're going to get so down sooner or later

they're going to have a government that's going to be allowed their people to have a better day.

They can pick their own government.

But wipe out that top two layers and let them go.

You know this guy who cares about human rights and cares about trans rights.

You care about 45 million women who can't go to school past the age of 11

and get married at the age of 13.

If you don't wear a high job, they put you in prison for life.

From high to up, Fox News headquarters in New York City.

Always seeking solutions.

Never so into vision.

It's Brian.

Hi.

We have a lot going on today.

We know 48 hours ago the war in Iran started.

We took preemptive action for one good reason.

They had intelligence said Iran was going to hit the Gulf states

prior to us hitting them.

And also we found out that there were dozens of Iranian officials getting together

in the morning about 8 a.m. local time.

And I told it was conducting that meeting.

So we provided the intelligence to the Israelis and they took out everybody.

Forty dead instantly, 49 cents, probably more adding up.

But we go for military sites.

We go for military and political leaders.

We don't go for civilians.

We're so far we've seen nothing but the opposite from the Iranians

who seem to be aiming at apartment buildings and galvanizing the Gulf states

into their own mini NATO.

This hour I'm going to be joined by the editor-in-chief of the Jerusalem Post.

Zavika Klein.

He's going to be with us.

But right now Congressman Jim Jordan joined us.

A lot on the agenda Congressman Jordan number one.

Can we get the DHS funded again?

Well, it's hope so.

And particularly in light of this, this, you know, effort that's now underway

and been aware for what 48 hours.

And, you know, God bless God bless the armed services who are conducting this operation.

God bless President Trump.

Who makes, makes decisions that are in the best interests of the country,

the best interests of our allies, the best interests of the world,

making sure that Iran doesn't get restart this nuclear capability program,

making sure that Iran doesn't have the missile sites and ability to launch things

and hurt people like they're attempting to do now and doing some now.

But stopping them in the future, it's the right thing.

It's good for us.

Good for Israel.

Good for the world.

And so God bless everyone for what they're doing.

So you're going to get a briefing on Wednesday or Tuesday?

I think tomorrow night, that's supposed to be at least five o'clock tomorrow night,

where we'll get a briefing.

So that'll be, that'll be interesting to see exactly what we said.

But, you know, one of the things we heard from Secretary Rubio is that they were,

they were building these missiles so much faster than we thought.

Like 100 can care to what we were doing,

which is a much smaller number, or what Israel was able to do, I should say.

And so this is the other reason we were focused on the missile launch ability

to go on after those locations.

And of course, you know, timing them from getting to their nuclear weapon capability

that they were continuing to pursue in spite of what happened with operation in my hammer last year.

So I want you to hear some people who are blatantly political and should be ashamed of themselves in my view.

Not because I disagree with them, but the way they're doing it.

Listen to this, Chris Murphy, cut 29.

Nobody in this country is asking for war with Iran.

Just like months ago, no one in this country was asking for war with Venezuela.

This president is intentionally tanking our economy.

He's the most corrupt president in the history of our nation.

And Americans want him to focus on the crises here at home.

Instead, he is busy getting us involved in quagmires overseas

that already are becoming deadly to American soldiers.

This is a disaster. It is illegal.

And the president has obligated another constitution to come to Congress and ask for an authorization of military force.

If that was a Republican, they would have been interrupted five times by Margaret Brennan.

But you know, this unbelievable.

So what are your thoughts on that ridiculous statement?

He's trying to tank our economy.

No, like everything the Democrats know, every call position that they take.

Everything they say is just crazy.

I mean, think about it.

The idea that we took out a guy who wasn't in Venezuela as well,

Maduro, wasn't recognized as the head of state by our government,

who's ahead of a narco terrorist organization,

who did all kinds of terrible things here in our hemisphere,

and somehow taking him outside bad thing,

stopping the Iran, who's the largest state sponsor of terrorism.

For almost 50 years, they've been at this crazy, crazy stuff that they've been doing,

and somehow that's a bad thing,

making sure they don't get nuclear capability.

And then to the economy, are you kidding me?

The market's at record levels.

People are now seeing what the big, beautiful bill did for their tax burden.

And they're filing their taxes.

They're saying, oh, I'm getting this kind of revert.

Oh, my taxes have went down.

Nothing that Senator Murphy said made any sense to me.

And yet that's today's left.

Today's left will always take the most crazy position,

and that's just what they're for.

So I think this election, frankly coming up,

not that we're talking about election,

but I think it's going to be crazy versus common sense,

like the president says.

And if you're on the side of common sense,

you're going to be supporting Republicans in this election.

Yeah, so I guess we're going to see what's going to happen

and you're going to get briefed on it.

I'm just struck by how now they're talking about the War Powers Act.

Well, could you tell the War Powers Act?

We understand it.

If you have 48 hours to brief Congress and you have 60 days,

at which time you got to come back and say one another 60,

and so far if you don't have a war declaration,

line up, there's a huge line for people

that can get a declaration of war since World War II.

Is the president in violation of the War's Power Act?

No, because he did communicate within 48 hours

to the individuals in the United States Congress

as he's required to under the War Powers Resolution.

And as you said, Brian, we're in this 60-day time window

right now.

So we will see how this thing unfolds.

Let's hope this thing happens quickly.

But nothing the president did is inconsistent with the law.

He's inconsistent with his powers under Article 2 of the Constitution.

And frankly, he's inconsistent with what previous presidents

of both parties have done.

So again, the idea that the left is going to attack him for that

makes absolutely no sense.

They didn't do it for when Obama took similar type of actions.

I mean, think about what happened with Obama

and Secretary Clinton back with the whole Benghazi thing

and what they didn't live yet.

They took action there.

It was after that action where they did some things

that I think were problematic.

But nothing the president has done is in any way inconsistent

with his Article 2 authority under the Constitution

and the War Powers Resolution.

So by the way, we have Iran had been shot off about 70 missiles today.

So they're not down yet.

But when they launch them, we go get their launchers.

So Jay Johnson for the Homeland Security Secretary

was asked about the War Powers Act. He's a lawyer.

Cut 49.

What we did was an act of war, plain and simple.

I'm quite sure that Lindsey Graham and others would say

if a foreign government launched air strikes on our nation's capital

and took up the U.S. government leadership,

we'd say it was an act of war without a doubt.

Article 1 sectionated the Constitution assigns to Congress

the authority to declare war.

That basically is now a nullity.

The War Powers Resolution is close to being a nullity.

What's happened over multiple administrations

is the Department of Justice Office of Legal Counsel,

which is like the Supreme Court of the Executive Branch,

has issued opinions that say the President can deploy

the U.S. military into hostilities anytime it's in an important

national interest.

So long as it doesn't rise to a war in nature, scope, and duration,

that is virtually a limitless test.

No court, no lawyer is going to second guess what the President says

is in the national interest.

I mean much like Libya when Obama took action,

we're still waiting for him to tell us about that.

Yeah, no, exactly.

And remember, the President of the United States is the commander in chief,

and his responsibility is also to make sure that Americans are safe,

that he takes action when there's an imminent threat.

The idea that this regime, the largest state sponsor of terrorism,

was now again pursuing getting nuclear weapon capability,

is frightening.

And what the President is doing is focusing on stopping that,

and what they were doing with their missiles that were going to harm us,

are our service members in bases in the Gulf area,

and are allies like the state of Israel.

So that's why he took the action.

I think again, most Americans understand this was the right thing to do.

So Jim Jordan, our guest and Chairman,

I got to ask you about some people on the right there upset by this.

The podcast world, they're saying,

President, promise is no foreign wars.

What do you say to that?

Get a lot of them with your friends.

Yeah, I mean, again, I come back to, I think, this President,

makes decisions that are in the best interest of our country.

And he looks at the evidence, he gets to see things as commander-in-chief

that the regular, that we all don't get to see.

And he's making those decisions, I think, for the left to criticize him

as they did with Maduro when he took out a bad guy ahead of a narco terrorist organization

doing all kinds of crazy things here in our hemisphere.

I think, again, I think people with common sense say,

we understand why the commander-in-chief,

why President Trump has taken actions that he has.

Sometimes you need war to get peace.

Have you ever seen that?

Doesn't history say that?

Yeah, I mean, this is, frankly, this is, I think,

the position of our dear friend and ally of state of Israel.

They know sometimes you have to take action to stop what's coming,

what you know is coming from.

Everyone in that area, and frankly, I think most people around the world

understand how bad our way it is, how bad they've conducted themselves

over the last 47 years.

And I think they understand why the commander-in-chief of the United States

with full upgraded military and history has taken this action.

But I'm going to ask you, how do you, in four weeks from now,

when you come to our show, what's going to be the situation in Iran?

But I hope, I hope, you know, things are done there.

We've got everything in the control.

You hope the Iranian people understand that, you know,

this is an opportunity to get rid of this oppressive terrorist regime

that's been running their nation for, as I said, 47 years.

So we hope that's the case.

But, you know, we kind of think you never know.

But I do trust the people who are in charge and present Trump,

Secretary Rubio and the team that he's put together there.

I do trust these individuals.

All right, Jim Jordan.

Thanks so much.

Truly appreciate it.

Thanks for being here.

Congressman Jim Jordan.

So when we come back, we'll take your calls, 1-866-408-7669.

Or you can write me up, Brian Kilmead.com.

Don't move, Civic Akarn.

Bottom of the hour, we'll get the latest from the editor

of the Jerusalem Post live from Israel.

Diving deep into today's top story.

It's Brian Kilmead.

He's so busy.

He'll make your head spin.

It's Brian Kilmead.

Yeah, I think what you would hear from the White House

is the president said he was always going to put

the national interest first.

This is international interest to keep the, to defang.

The world's greatest state sponsor of terror,

and that's what he's doing.

He doesn't, I mean, I think it's hard for us

to imagine a president who spent three minutes of his hour

and 47 minutes state of the union,

who within 12 hours of the strikes

was talking about offer amps, sending boots on the ground in Ron.

So I think they will say,

this is going to be a limited engagement.

I think the real question is they'll like, can you do it?

So that is Steve Hayes.

A really good guy used to be at Fox,

and now he's got his own thing going at this batch.

But he said, well, of course,

anybody who spends any time in the Middle East

just studying this stuff or understanding,

and talking to any senator on the Foreign Relations Committee

or any Secretary of State or anybody in the State Department knows

what a problem Ron is.

General McKenzie, obviously he was one of the ones

who authored the terrible withdrawal from Afghanistan,

really Joe Biden's solely responsible for that.

He writes this, for decades,

Ron managed to bluff American presidents.

It deterred attacks from a superpower

and carried out proxy campaigns against its neighbors in Israel.

I was strikes on a run on Saturday.

Our evidence that this long-term strategy

of negotiating in bad faith is bankrupt.

The military campaign is underway

as the direct result of an Iranian leader's foot dragging,

obfuscation, and delay tactics.

This time, they misjudged the president.

Pretty impressive.

Brett Stevens, a constant critic of the president, conservative.

They have rid the world of an odious tyrant

and of several layers of his equal odious deputies.

It's odd that the same people who fall Trump for divorcing U.S.

philosophy, for divorcing U.S. foreign policy,

from his democratic values,

now fault him for going to war for the sake

of advancing democratic values.

Still, millions of ordinary people around the world

not just in Tel Aviv and Tehran,

but also perhaps in Taipei and Tallinn

will notice to the United States for its many warts.

Still stands for freedom.

Mike Calm has never been shy about denouncing

either Trump or Netanyahu.

It won't be shy to criticize them in the future.

But on Saturday, this much maligned duo

did the free world a courageous and historic favor.

It will be remembered long after the petrol and criticism dies down.

That's pretty impressive.

That's people saying, okay, whatever I think of Trump,

I like this.

Whatever I think of Trump, like Venezuela,

would everything of Trump,

he could do something the Kennedy didn't do

when it comes to Cuba.

Debbie, and listen to WABC in New York, hey Debbie.

Ryan, I don't understand how ABC,

George Stepanopoulos was allowed to have

this Iranian ambassador on

and bash the United States and bash Donald Trump.

And no interruptions just let him go on

and had to be for 15 minutes.

I think that's anti-American.

I think that ABC needs to be called out for this.

He just went on and on and on.

I had to be at least 15 minutes.

Why is that allowed?

I mean, it's free press you should get all sides,

but you can make your judgment on whether

you think it's in the best interest of the country.

So I don't mind.

I know.

I know people have said that and I'm in the minority.

I like to hear the other side, always.

And I wish he would have maybe jumped in,

but he did jump in and say, you know,

you've killed 30,000 people.

And then he goes, like I told you before,

we killed 3,000 and then the others were rioters

put to this by the Israelis and Americans,

you know, with their insurgents,

which we all know is BS.

But you would have to say and understand,

this guy's Baghdad Bob.

Now, I'll, I'll allow Rajani is the one to look out for.

We got to kill this guy.

That's the guy that went to the Gulf States

and warned them not to get involved.

He'll be hit and he was going to do the preemptive hit.

He got stopped about that.

Sadly, he wasn't involved in the big hit.

They killed the leaders.

But now he says, I won't talk to the US

and they're going to lose.

We'll see about that.

We're not going to lose.

I'll tell you that.

It depends on how many layers deep we got to go

before the people rise up and take their country back.

I don't really care if it breaks up and they want to break into sex.

It doesn't bother me at all.

But President Trump, I thought nailed it in two speeches.

And he also did some individual calls.

I talked to him yesterday for 15 minutes.

And he did calls with Jonathan Carl, I know,

with Brett Baer, I know, with Mark Tyson, I know.

And he just told people what's going on.

But he didn't want to get involved in the press conference.

It's going to go wildly off to other topics.

This is the only topic that matters.

So we're going pretty deep.

In terms of strategy, David Betrayus,

I want Wilkane less than I cut six.

The focus clearly is on the retaliatory capabilities

that are still retained by Iran.

They have still a substantial number of long-range missiles

and launchers.

Those are the ones that can reach Israel.

That's a particular focus, needless to say.

But we've also seen shorter-range missiles and even drones,

like the drones that they provided to Ukraine

that have been such a feature of that war.

And in fact, reportedly, it was one of those drones

that killed our three soldiers at Kev Perifjohn in Kuwait,

so tragically and wounded seriously a number of others.

So that is the focus.

That is the focus.

And he knows because he was doing the surge

and was winning back Iraq.

And he had to push back on the Iranian militias.

They killed 600 Americans and wounded over a thousand.

These are EFPs.

They were basically IEDs on steroids.

Designed to kill.

Designed to kill.

And rapidly and horrifically and on grand scale.

Think about that.

We never did anything.

We never hid inside Iran.

We don't want to stop.

Don't expand the war, right?

So what is Iran doing?

Iran hits the UAE.

They say Qatar's been hit 100 times.

Really?

Cut 100 times?

Qatar hasn't done enough to let you know

that they're loyal to you and not to Israel.

They already housed a mosque for free

and let them live in the four seasons in a life of luxury.

And now you're hitting Qatar.

And now you're hitting.

You didn't hit Egypt.

But now you're hitting Crete.

Okay?

You can slam in Kuwait.

So you're trying to unite the Gulf states?

So Major John Spencer just talked about how magnificent

this has been so far.

He's a war college, the chairman of the war college

at West Point, Cup 15.

It's literally the change in the character of war

and historic operation that has no parallel

outside of Israel's 12-day war, the opening moments.

I don't think people are grasping.

I was on the ground in the invasion of Iraq.

It took us nine months to get Saddam.

In many of that, that deck of cards took us nine years

to get bin Laden.

And some of those Al-Qaeda leaders are still around.

Not many of them.

But to eliminate the Ayatollah, the minister of defense,

40 senior leaders in the first 24 hours,

should put the fear of God in any enemy of the United States.

Or Israel.

By the way, we're just getting a report now that Qatar

shot down two Soviet-era Iranian bombers.

How desperate are they?

That's the same thing.

They got our old fighter jets too.

I think it's an F-5.

And now they have Soviet-era Iranian bombers

going into Qatar.

So they're trying to divide the Gulf States.

Do you know they're galvanizing the Gulf States?

Galvanizing them.

Everybody hates Iran, except maybe Turkey and Pakistan.

Good luck with that.

Zivika Klein necks.

They are under attack, but they can handle it.

They've expected it because they know that you can see

the light at the end of the tunnel.

You really can.

He is the editor of the Jerusalem Post.

He'll listen to Brian Killmichwap.

Translation by

Margaret Malar

Information you want.

Truth!

You demand.

This is the Brian Killmichwap.

We have no anti-war sentiment in this country.

which is, in many ways, worse than a nuclear threat because 3,000 of these missiles and

the hands of Iran, it is an existential threat to this country, we understand it.

His bullet opened fire tonight, Brian.

I think the Iranians are outsourcing the battle against Israel to his bullet.

This is the branch basically of Iran in Lebanon, and Israel is firing back as I'm talking

to you now.

So that is my goal, or in talking to be less on one nation, a 10, former Israeli ambassador

to the U.S., not rattled at all.

He's also a veteran, like almost everyone in Israel at some point serves.

Joining us now is Zavika Klein, editor-in-chief of the Jerusalem Post to tell us what's happening.

The thing that's changed for me, Zavika, when I got up today, was it looks like Hezbollah

decides to get involved and violent at the tenuous ceasefire.

What has changed since they've been involved since?

So how many times I heard it was five, was it five drone strikes or rocket strikes?

Yeah, hi, Brian, good morning.

So yes, so Zavika's bullet decided to join in this war, and there were many that thought

that they would not go in, because his bullet is in a very low point after all these

release strikes in the past two and a half years.

Surprisingly, they actually joined in on these attacks, and the defense minister said

that Israel will eliminate its chief, as well as all of its other proxies and institutions,

and Israel's now fighting a number of fronts simultaneously.

So for Israel, it must be the good feeling knowing someone's fighting by your side instead

of wondering if they're going to cut off arms.

It's, it's, it's, wow, I mean, Israelis are, you know, Saturday morning were just like,
