Peace Through Strength and the Iran Reckoning

Every day, excessive delays and denials from big insurers keep patients from accessing

the care they need.

And when care is urgent, these delays can be disastrous.

These practices cost billions in wasteful spending, driving up costs for American families.

But while big insurers put up barriers, America's hospitals and health systems are in your corner.

Navigating endless reviews and appeals to get you the care you need when you need it

most.

It's time to curb these harmful practices and put the focus back on patients.

And now, coming to you from the full suite Wealth Studios, here is your conservative but

not bitter host Todd Huff.

My friends, winning this war in Iran is not something that just happened by accident.

This is something that the United States has been investing in for a long time, not specifically

in fighting Iran, but fighting people who want to cause death and destruction to Americans

and to our allies around the globe.

I want to talk about this today because this is where the concept of peace through strength

comes from and why it matters.

It's not just some intellectual pursuit.

This is a real, very important foundational premise that we all must accept and get on

board with.

The surest way to peace in the world today is by having, listen, I understand America's

not perfect but we're still this country is good.

Having enough firepower, enough strength and resolve on the side of the good guys to

defeat the bad guys.

That's basically what this comes down to.

I'm going to give you some updates as to what is happening in Iran as well.

I'm going to talk a little bit about Christy Nome time permitting and of course anything

we don't get to here today, we will include in our inner circle, which is absolutely free

to join.

You can join.

It's an email.

You can join by texting the word truth to 317-7885-1030-317-7510-30, okay, that's where

we're headed today, my friends.

What are you tired of spending your hard-earned money at businesses that turn around and support

leftist causes?

It's exactly why we here at the Todd have show created Freedom Marketplace.

cost anything, it's just good patriotic businesses pushing in the same direction that you are

pushing.

Check it out today, freedommarketplace.net, that's freedommarketplace.net, liberty and business

for all.

All right, let's get into it here today, my friend.

I don't know if you've seen this story in the New York Post that will be in the inner

circle newsletter along with all the other links to the stack of stuff, which are background

information on the things we talk about here on the program each and every day, or you

can just go to the New York Post.com and search for this, but I want to start by referencing

this article.

It was published, I guess just last night, it looks like last evening, Ronnie Reyes headline

here, how Israel killed Ayatolla Kamene with a missile from space.

That's the headline of the article and it's got a diagram here that of course I can't

show you since you're listening to the program over radio airwaves or as a podcast, but

I would like to show you this, I can't.

It looks like an image of an F-16, that's what it looks like to me.

And it's got this F-16 flying, you know, high in the atmosphere, and it's releasing

a missile.

And then the missile, of course, accelerates and then the missile goes up.

Missile goes up from the altitude of the F-16, leaves the atmosphere.

So it says here, Israel fighter jet launches blue sparrow missile.

That's what this missile is called here.

That's the first step.

Then it says the booster rocket sends missile out of Earth's atmosphere, making it travel

further and more difficult to intercept.

So it leaves the atmosphere, goes up into space, begins to cruise a little bit up there,

and then once it begins to lock in on its target, step three here says the warhead separates

from booster rocket and locks on to its target.

And it basically falls out of space back into the atmosphere.

Step four here says missile reeners atmosphere and strikes target.

Got this little explosive graphic, it's got a little tag next to it that says presidential

complex Tehran Iran.

That is how Ayatollah Ali Kamenis, that's how he was taken out.

So the article here says Ayatollah Ali Kamenis reward came from heaven.

Israel used a powerful ballistic missile that flew to the edge of space before plummeting

to Earth and blasting Iran's unsuspecting, supreme leader and dozens of his top henchmen

last Saturday.

So technically I guess it doesn't, I don't know, it's right there on the envelope, the

threshold between the atmosphere and space.

The blue sparrow, a missile that can fly for 1,240 miles and leaves atmosphere, again it's

right there, I guess it technically leaves it, it's right there on the threshold.

It leaves the atmosphere and then it says it crashes down.

It was used by Israel during Operation Epic Fury killing Kamenis and his cohorts.

But so intense was the impact that debris was found in Western Iraq according to Israeli

sources.

The surprise attack came together last week after Israeli officials deliberately gave

the impression that the military was standing down for the weekend and Israeli defense forces

official told reporters Thursday.

We released photos and information suggesting that IDF staff and senior command were going

home for Shabbat dinner.

That's of course, that's of course the Sabbath.

That said, the official who did not want to be named according to DBBC while the high

ranking officials made a show of leaving the headquarters to enjoy the weekend.

They quickly donned disguises and covertly returned to the facility to prep for the attack

on Kamenis compound.

So you have deception, you have, you know, that they were setting up the regime because

what happened was what happened was that the Iranians bought it.

They thought that there wouldn't be an imminent attack and so the officials all ended up going

to Kamenis compound.

So it comes in here, sorry, had a pop up on my screen as I'm reading this article.

So here's what it says.

Next to the attack, Kameni was believed to be spending most of his evenings in a deep

underground bunker to shield himself from any attacks.

Masad Israel's top intelligence agency was able to keep tabs on where the regime's senior

leaders bodyguards were stationed when they arrived at Kamenis compound on pasture street

in the heart of Tehran, the IDF officials noted noted.

The spy agency had access to the guard's schedules and movements with one camera in the

vicinity proving pivotal and tracking the situation.

Did you also read, I read this elsewhere, this is not in the stack today.

I read this earlier in the week that Israel had also hacked traffic cameras in Iran.

So they hacked into the cameras, they had done this, I think years ago.

And that was one of the ways they were getting intelligence, right, instead of having eyes

on the ground, which I'm sure they had human assets as well or other techniques of gathering

human intelligence, but they were using traffic cameras in Tehran.

So isn't it interesting that the regime, the Iranian regimes totalitarian desires, which

look, we have traffic cameras here, we have cameras everywhere, but the desires of the

regime to keep their eyes on the people actually allowed the Israelis to keep an eye on them as well.

So they were watching this and it says all developments were then transmitted back to Tel Aviv,

telling Israeli officials or letting Israeli officials know the perfect time to strike.

Israeli F-15 jets and other aircraft were deployed at around 7 30 AM, Iran time,

with the aircraft unleashing 30 missiles, including blue sparrows, which are those missiles,

by the way, that strike from space after leaving the Earth's atmosphere at the heart of

Ayatollah's compound about two hours later. So listen, the article goes on here, but I just

want to pause here. I want to pause here because this is important to understand. The United

States of America, now we're talking here about Israel, but we know that the United States of America

has capabilities like this or even that are greater than this technologically and militarily

speaking, right? The United States is the measure. And you can say Israelis, Israel is too.

As far as it comes to advancement of the military technology, the ability to strike

an enemy pretty much wherever we feel like it. I don't want to overstate it, but I mean, that's

been a big history, a long history of that in that region of the world where Israel and the United

States have been able to pull some of these things off that seem incredibly impossible, at least

at least from the perspective of other regimes, other governments. And so, but there's a reason

for this, right? When you go back, you go back to the Constitution here in the United States,

and you look at what our founders framed. They said that our government has certain

responsibilities, right? It's called the consent of the government. I love the founders were brilliant

in how they set this up here. They said, instead of us, the founding fathers who helped lead a

successful American revolution and the end of British rule in the colonies, we acquired our own

independence instead of us then establishing ourselves as the next ruling class, as the next

tyrants, dictators, kings, and everything else. We're going to say that we recognize that God

has given his created beings, human beings, the, well, freedom and autonomy and that liberty and

rights come from him. And instead of a new government coming in and saying, hey, we're going to

tell you what you can do, how you can behave and we're going to establish ourselves at the top of

that metaphorical societal and government pyramid, we're going to say it's up to you, the American

people to decide. You have to give your consent to the government. It's not that the, I'm sorry,

you have to give your consent to the government. It's not that the government gives you

its consent on how you can behave. And so they framed this system on a radical idea. That,

by the way, has transformed how people live on planet earth in incredible ways, incredibly good

ways. And so they then after the American revolution and after an initial attempt to the

articles of confederation to build a national government, they had the constitutional convention.

They knew the articles of confederation didn't give the government quite the power it needed to be

able to do its job. And so they had the constitutional convention. They framed a constitution that

gave the government slightly more powers. It gave the federal government more ability to

manage some of the things that was tasked with doing. But what they were trying to do was give

the government enough power to do its job, what the consent of the governed, what the consent of

the people was to say, hey, you can do this, but nothing more. We realized in our first attempt

in an effort to keep you from getting too big. We didn't give you quite enough. So now we'll

give you a little bit more that allows you to be able to do your job. And if you look at the job,

right, you read even the basic preamble of the United States Constitution. One of the things

in there is the common defense, provide for the common defense of this nation. And that is a core

principle. Now we have deviated from that document in so many ways, right? And we have government

that is wasting money on, I mean, you can pick any number of things. Doge uncovered a lot or you

could talk about the daycare fraud or any number of things with welfare fraud, social security fraud,

right? Doge uncovered that there were people that were allegedly 120 or 140 years old or some such

thing collecting social security. That was reported. Of course, the left denies it, claiming instead

that our government would never make a mistake, never make a mistake like that. Give me a break.

But regardless, we've got into all these other things. They're promising that they can lower

the levels of the seas. When in reality, this is none of this stuff is really what the United States

government should be doing. But at its core, one of the core principles is defense. Now, this leads us

into this discussion with Iran. What is necessary? What is necessary logically when it comes to

the good guys being able to win requires that the good guys have more firepower than the bad guys.

The good guys have more capabilities than the bad guys. You can't stand up to a bully in the

school yard. If you can't at least give a bully a run for his money and ideally be able to

whoop the bully. I know that this is wild talk to many of the soft Americans in the world today.

Not for people that understand how things work in the real world, but this sort of talk is just

crazy to people who think you can talk your way out of problems and that you can pacify those

who want to literally destroy you and wipe you off the face of the planet. You may have seen,

by the way, Caroline Levit have a showdown in the White House briefing room the other day with

Caitlin Collins. And Caroline Levit told Caitlin Collins, we're fighting a regime that literally

wants every person in this room dead. Do you do you understand this? I don't know that

Caitlin Collins does. Caitlin Collins has other concerns, which include helping the Democrat party

regain political power in this country. I don't know that they I don't know that they understand

that or accept that or believe that or they probably believe if you have a figure that you elect

as president like Barack Obama who goes over there and says certain things to these people that

they're going to suddenly love us and not want us dead. That's simply living in a fantasy world.

So there are real problems and there are real people out there that want each and every one of us

dead. I hate to say it. I hate to be the bearer of the bad news here. But that is a fact on 9-11,

Al Qaeda killed nearly 3,000 Americans. And indiscriminately, there were children,

there were elderly, there were people who worked for in the Pentagon in the military. You had

people who were pilots and moms and civilians and business people who died on the aircraft.

You had people working in the trade towers, of course, who were capitalist, which they hated as well.

You had indiscriminate killing. There were daycares, daycares in the trade towers in New

York City. I think they were on the lower levels. But nonetheless, these are all sorts of things,

right? In the trade towers when they were struck and people died, there were I read stories.

I've read about the people who died on 9-11. I read their stories. I do this regularly to

just remember what really is at stake in underlying the problems that we face today. And it's a

deep-seated hatred, deep-seated hatred for all people who do not live under Sharia law and who

become converted to Islam. These, I'm telling you, these people hate us. They think that they're

justified. I think that they are, in fact, called to kill those who do not convert to Islam.

That is who is running or was running the Iranian regime. These people are dangerous. They will

stop at nothing. They have shown us that. They have made themselves very well known to the world.

And so it is necessary for our government, for our nation to have enough firepower to remain

superior over these folks up to and including the point of the types of weapons. I just read about

here in this story at the New York Post. This sort of thing is necessary. Now, this is not meant to be

a case to say that we should just spend whatever some hawkish lover of war politician wants to

spend in growing our military. But there is a clear reason to have a strong and capable military.

There's a clear reason to invest in developing our military to create the best war fighters

possible to create the most technologically advanced fleets possible while also having

failed safes built in so that if someone is able to take out, say, for example, use an EMP attack.

We don't want to be vulnerable to that. We want to still be able to operate. But the point is we

want the best and the most effective tools by which we can defend ourselves and address hostilities

around the globe. And that is what we have. And that, my friends, is the foundation of this concept

of peace through strength. You don't just get strength so that you can go out and then be the new

bully. You acquire strength so that you can cause the real bullies to stand down. You get strength

so that you can protect your people here in the homeland and abroad. And wherever they are in

the entire world, you get strength to be able to do that. And so this is why investing in these

sorts of things matter. And we won't know. We won't know maybe ever. All of the technology and all

the techniques and strategies and tactics that were employed here. But we have just a glimpse here.

And this is why it's important that we continue down this path. I got more to say about this.

We'll get into other issues regarding this conflict. But I'm up against the time. My friends,

you've worked hard. You've made smart choices. And now it's about making sure that effort counts.

Welcome back my friends. Peace through strength. Now, this is not meant to give

military leaders hawkish politicians a blank check. It's not. But the idea that we need to stop

investing in our military and stop doing the work necessary to create the greatest fighting

force that we possibly can. The greatest fighting force on planet earth is that should be the goal.

It's naive to think that we don't need a strong military. I don't understand the people who

refuse to understand this. I understand if people don't like war. I know nobody likes. Well, maybe some

maybe some people do, but nobody likes war. Nobody wants to be at war unnecessarily. Now,

we can disagree, disagree as to where those lines are drawn, but nobody is really or very,

very few people are just looking for a new war. I understand that the people who have a financial

interest, financial interest in developing weapons and technologies and so forth that are used in war,

there is a temptation for them to seek ways to get more profit. I understand that.

But I also understand that those who live in a fantasy world and who think that you can

simply hold hands and sing, we are the world with your adversaries who once you wiped off the

face of the planet, who say from the river to the sea, Palestine will be free, who chant death to

America, death to Israel, who've openly called for the annihilation, the wiping of the nation

of Israel off of the planet. Those people cannot be dealt with with smiles and handshakes.

They have to be dealt with in the ways they understand, and that is through brute force. And

when it is time to use it, we must be ready and able and capable to do the job. And right now,

we have. In fact, let me give you some updates here. Here we go. This is what our military has

accomplished so far. We're a week into this, right? US and allied forces have destroyed roughly

30 Iranian naval vessels, 30 of them. We've blown them up. We've sunk them, taken them out.

Missile attacks from Iran have been reduced by roughly 90% since the start of the campaign,

90% reduction in Iran's ability to strike back with drones and missiles.

Nearly 2,000 military targets have been struck across the Islamic Republic of Iran during the

opening phase of this operation. An Iranian drone carrier was struck and set on fire during

the operation. This, my friends, is why global military capability matters. It's why it matters

that we have aircraft carrier fleets. It's why it matters that we have military bases around

the world. Yes, I understand that there comes a risk. Look, there are tensions. There are tensions

on all of these things, right? All these important steps. There's tensions when the missiles fly,

there's tensions when you try to build a military base in, for example, Saudi Arabia. If you remember,

that's one of the things that Osama bin Laden was very upset about. One of the reasons he,

one of the many reasons why he hated the United States of America was because we built bases

and had a military presence in the Holy Land. Of course, Mecca and Medina is where

the Prophet Muhammad, there's of course his history and the Holy cities to the Islamic

faith of Mecca and Medina. And that was considered offensive to him that we would have,

the Infidel would have bases in that nation. But it's why it matters. Why it matters that we have

these bases. We have these carrier fleets. It's why we can respond virtually anywhere in the world

within. I mean, quicker than anyone can possibly imagine with how we're set up around the world today.

And that rapid response projects power and it deters our enemies. I mean, if it took us weeks or

months to respond or get, get situated to respond to missile attacks, don't you think there

would be more of them from the people who hate us? Carrier groups, bombers, submarines. I didn't

talk about the bombers, the ability. Think about when we struck Iran last June. We had,

we had bombers take off here in the U.S. mainland. I think, didn't they take off in Missouri? That's

where I want to say they took off from. They refueled during the flight. They flew over the targets.

They dropped their bombs and they returned. I don't know if they returned like Germany. Maybe they

turned around and came back. But we had the capability of doing that. It's absolutely incredible to

think about intelligence networks already talked about how we've, well, the Israelis anyway,

had hacked into traffic cameras in Iran. Who knows? Who knows how we're keeping eyes on threats

around the world? This is necessary. Absolutely necessary. No other country on earth can operate at

this scale globally with the quickness, the agility of the United States. U.S. submarine torpedo

attack, sinking, and Iranian frigate. It's just, the list goes on and on.

Deterrence is a real thing, my friends, when our strength and our power is absolutely overwhelming

to the enemy. Weakness invites aggression. In fact, I've said on this program for a year. It's

one of the first, one of the core principles of my political beliefs is that American weakness

is provocative. American weakness is provocative. It's not provocative for us to be strong. I mean,

it certainly causes other nations to act certain ways and they use it as an excuse as to why they

hate the United States of America and all that. But if you want real, if you want real aggression

on the world stage, look at what happens when the United States is weak or it has a weak leader.

I just, I look back, look back at what happened. Look back at things like Benghazi, look back at things

like the Afghanistan withdrawal. I mean, we left 15,000 people, at least for the initial,

the initial withdrawal phase. We have abandoned people under the Biden regime. He was more

interested in getting a headline that says Biden ends longest US military, whatever war,

military, whatever they wanted to call it, in American history. On the eve of 9-11 or that time

of year, he wanted that headline and we paid dearly for that. It was mismanaged unbelievably. American

weakness is what is truly provocative. So on the other side of this, we have to be aware that there

are incentives that exist that for people who provide say weapons or technology, those sorts of

things, the profit that they get from selling those equipment, that equipment or that technology to

the government certainly is a motivation to them. And more of this equipment is used during war.

And so there are certainly pressures that could exist, that do exist, that could lead people

to make decisions that are more hawkish or more trigger happy, if you will, to start a war,

to get involved. Friends, those incentives exist everywhere and everything that we do. We still

have to decide in our minds for ourselves where we land as we have competing voices that are trying

to get us to move one way or the other constantly because it's more aligned that where we end up on

that continuum is more aligned with where they are if they can get us to become a little bit more

hawkish in this example. Get us to be a little bit more trigger happy. They can sell more

product, but likewise you have others who have interests on the other end of the spectrum. And we

have to still land somewhere on the spectrum. We can't not be on the spectrum of absolute pacifist

or at one end and at the other end a just a warmonger, a person who loves war. We all have to land

somewhere intellectually and the place to land is to is in my opinion is clearly to say

build a military that is capable of dealing with anything in an overwhelming way as quick as possible

with protecting the interests of the United States and her people as best as possible so that we can

deal with anything globally in such a way that nobody wants to mess with us. That's where we've

landed and candidly that's kind of my friends where we are. There's a lot of confusion out there

about cratum. You've probably heard the headlines and most of those headlines are based on synthetic

challenges we have as conservatives is finding ways to ensure our values align with the way that we

financial is doing. They specialize in biblically responsible investing. That means they screen out

companies that do not align with our faith and our value. So, we're not funding things that go

completely against what we believe in. Plus they'll do the heavy lifting for us. So all we have to

do is complete the assessment. Tell them the investments we have and they will then tell us

to what degree our investments line up with our values. You can take that assessment. It's quick,

it's easy at 48financial.com slash Todd. That's 48financial.com slash Todd. 48financial because our

money should work for our values and friends, your money certainly should not work against your values.

All right. Really quickly, I said I was going to mention at the beginning of the program. Trump has

fired Christy Nome as Homeland Security Secretary, which of course that leads us to the funding

issue with DHS as well. Congress is still fighting over over that. It's the one part of our government

that's not being dealt with here right now. But Christy Nome has been fired. She has been

replaced by Oklahoma Senator Mark Wayne Mullin. That's who is reportedly replacing her. Trump

has apparently there's an article at Axios, which is in the stack of stuff and it will be emailed

out today in the inner circle. But according to that article, the reason that she was fired was

that she claimed that Trump approved a $220 million advertising campaign. And Trump says it's not

the way that that went down. So anyway, I don't have the time to get into that. I want to mention

one other thing that I referenced earlier this week. Another article here, this is at

this also is at Axios. This also is at Axios. Headline, this is exclusive with Axios. Trump says he

must be involved in picking Iran's next leader. Now, yesterday you heard me talk about

you heard me talk about some of the problems the United States has had as it has tried to get into

regime change. That's a for those of you who are around in the early 2000s, you will have heard

that phrase bantered about regime change. And I think, well, I like to think some of us at least

have learned our lesson. So of course, Kamenis dead. The Iranian regime is destabilized. We've killed

dozens of other leaders. There's an internal power struggle that's certainly underway in Iran.

You've got people rising up. And so while the U.S. let's list the options here, right? So my

position yesterday was looked at the United States should not be the person to pick the leader.

But does that mean that the United States shouldn't be involved at all? Trump's out there saying he

must be involved. That's the headline here at Axios. He must be involved in picking Iran's next leader

just as he was in, in Venezuela. So the options are simple, right? You've got, you know, you've

got, we decided Kamenis wasn't going to be the leader anymore. He was too big of a risk of

threat of danger to society and so forth. So he's not a potential option. Of course, now he's dead.

Neither are the dozens of others that we've killed. There was another leader, Kamenis son

was considered. His name is Motaba Kamenis. He's the son of Ali Kamenis. He was the most likely

successor. But Trump says Trump called him a lightweight. This guy is not going to cut it.

You know, we need someone else out. So you either, you either hope for the Iranian people to rise

up, which I think is an important part of this and to deal with their government, not just have

a new leader, but hopefully have a new government altogether. You can, you can just cross your

fingers and hope and stay out of it completely, which were already in it. So it's a question of

degrees. It's a question of where do you draw the line? I don't think that we should be picking

the leader, but I don't know that we want to stay completely silent either. But of course,

there's problems with all of these things. You can have complete chaos. You don't want people

thinking that the United States is turning Iran into a puppet state. But what happens if the new

leader is just as bad or comparably bad or heaven forbid, even worse than the old leaders? These

are all relevant questions to ask. And I think we have to find the balance between not

initiating the regime ourselves while at the same time realizing that we do have a vested

interest. Trump wants a pretty active role in this. It sounds like. So we got to find where that

balances, my friends. So we'll see where this ends up. But I'm out of time here. Got to run,

have a great weekend. SDG. Every day, excessive delays and denials from big insurers keep patients

from accessing the care they need. And when care is urgent, these delays can be disastrous. These

practices cost billions in wasteful spending, driving up costs for American families. But while

big insurers put up barriers, America's hospitals and health systems are in your corner,

navigating endless reviews and appeals to get you the care you need when you need it most.

It's time to curb these harmful practices and put the focus back on patients.
