  Speaker 1: precision strikes on the three key nuclear facilities in the
• 0:08
  Speaker 1: Iranian regime for Doau, Natanz and Esfahan. Tonight, I can

  Speaker 2: You're listening to the forty seven Morning Update with Ben ferguson.
• 0:24
  Speaker 3: Good Monday morning.
• 0:25
  Speaker 4: It's nice to have you with us on the forty
• 0:27
  Speaker 4: seven Morning Updated. We've got a lot to talk about,
• 0:29
  Speaker 4: including the successful attack on Iran's nuclear sites because the
• 0:33
  Speaker 4: President of the United States America said Iran we will
• 0:37
  Speaker 4: never allow to get a nuclear weapon. We also are
• 0:40
  Speaker 4: going to talk about the fallout and what it means
• 0:43
  Speaker 4: moving forward after this attack, as Democrats are now going
• 0:46
  Speaker 4: after Donald Trump, and finally, what could Iran do next
• 0:51
  Speaker 4: and how big is a concern for sleeper cells in
• 0:53
  Speaker 4: this country that were let in with our open borders
• 0:56
  Speaker 4: under the Biden regime. I want to also make sure
• 0:59
  Speaker 4: you guys remember hit that subscribe auto download button and
• 1:03
  Speaker 4: share this podcast on your social media wherever you're listening
• 1:06
  Speaker 4: right now. We've also had so many of you that
• 1:09
  Speaker 4: have asked the question, how can I help people in
• 1:11
  Speaker 4: Israel and we've been telling you about the International Fellowship
• 1:14
  Speaker 4: of Christians and Jews and the work they are doing
• 1:16
  Speaker 4: is incredible. They are deploying bomb shelters as we speak
• 1:21
  Speaker 4: to help keep people safe in Israel. When things get bad,
• 1:25
  Speaker 4: that is when they step up and protect families and
• 1:28
  Speaker 4: loved ones. And if you want to get involved and
• 1:31
  Speaker 4: stand with the people in Israel right now, you can
• 1:34
  Speaker 4: do it by giving food and shelter to Jewish families
• 1:37
  Speaker 4: that are under threat. As I said, they're building bomb
• 1:40
  Speaker 4: shelters for children. They're helping survivors of the attacks that
• 1:44
  Speaker 4: we're witnessing right now, and they are doing it daily.
• 1:48
  Speaker 4: Your gift of only forty five dollars will help support
• 1:51
  Speaker 4: life saving work by providing food, shelter, and so much more.
• 1:56
  Speaker 4: I was speaking with the CEO of IFCJ and she
• 1:59
  Speaker 4: was talking about just how hard it is for so
• 2:02
  Speaker 4: many families in Israel right now and what they're doing
• 2:05
  Speaker 4: on the ground and the bomb shelters that are needed,
• 2:07
  Speaker 4: and she said, very simply, if you can help stand
• 2:10
  Speaker 4: with the people in Israel that are under attack, they
• 2:13
  Speaker 4: are doing everything they can to support them and to
• 2:16
  Speaker 4: give the bomb shelters that are needed. So step up
• 2:20

  Speaker 4: Be the difference IFCJ dot org or eight eight eight
• 2:40
  Speaker 4: four eight eight IFCJ. It's the forty seven morning Update
• 2:44
  Speaker 4: and it starts right now.
• 2:45
  Speaker 3: Story number one. Sixty days.
• 2:48
  Speaker 4: That was the deadline that Donald Trump gave a RAND
• 2:50
  Speaker 4: to come to the table and make a deal to
• 2:52
  Speaker 4: get rid of their RAND nuclear program. They chose not to.
• 2:56
  Speaker 4: And it's a foreign policy that's pretty clear. Fa FO.
• 3:01
  Speaker 4: Donald Trump not wasting any time doing what he needed
• 3:04
  Speaker 4: to do to make sure that Iran never gets a
• 3:06
  Speaker 4: nuclear weapon, certainly not while he's in office. And the
• 3:11
  Speaker 4: present made it clear with the attack on not one,
• 3:14
  Speaker 4: not two, but three of the Iranian nuclear sites, they
• 3:17
  Speaker 4: should have come to the table much sooner. Here's the
• 3:20
  Speaker 4: present in his own words at the White House.
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: A short time ago, the US military carried out massive
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: precision strikes on the three key nuclear facilities in the
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: Iranian regime for Doeaux Natans and Esfahan. Everybody heard those
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: names for years as they built this horribly destructive enterprise.
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: Our objective was the destruction of Iran's nuclear inrichment capacity
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: and a stop to the nuclear threat posed by the
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: world's number one state sponsor of terror.
• 3:58
  Speaker 3: Tonight, I can report to the world.
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: That the strikes were a spectacular military success. Iranski nuclear
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: and Richmond facilities have been completely and totally obliterated. Rand
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: the bully of the Middle East, must now make peace.
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: If they do not, future attacks would be.
• 4:18
  Speaker 3: Far greater and a lot easier.
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: For forty years, Iran has been saying death to America,
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: death to Israel. They have been killing our people, blowing
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: off their arms, blowing off their legs with roadside bombs,
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: that was their specialty.
• 4:34
  Speaker 3: We lost over a.
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: Thousand people, and hundreds of thousands throughout the Middle East
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: and around the world have died as a direct result
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: of their hate. In particular, so many were killed by
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: their general Cassem SOLMANI. I decided a long time ago
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: that I would not let this happen.
• 4:54
  Speaker 3: It will not continue.
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: I want to thank and congratulate Prime Minister bb NETTNYA,
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: who we worked as a team like perhaps no team
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: has ever worked before, and we've gone a long way
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: to erasing this horrible threat to Israel. I want to
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: thank the Israeli military for the wonderful job they've done.
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: And most importantly, I want to congratulate the great American
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: patriots who flew those magnificent machines tonight and all of
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: the United States military on an operation the likes of
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: which the world has not seen in many, many decades.
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: Hopefully we will no longer need their services and this capacity.
• 5:33
  Speaker 3: I hope that's so.
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: I also want to congratulate the Chairman of the Joint
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: Chiefs of Staff, General Dan Raisin Kine, spectacular general, and
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: all of the brilliant military minds involved in this attack.
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: With all of that being said, this cannot continue. There
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: will be either peace or there will be tragedy for Iran,
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: far greater than we have witnessed over the last eight days. Remember,
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: there are men any targets left. The night's was the
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: most difficult of them all by far, and perhaps the
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: most lethal. But if peace does not come quickly, we
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: will go after those other targets with precision, speed and skill.
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: Most of them can be taken out in a matter
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: of minutes. There's no military in the world that could
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: have done what we did tonight, not even close. There
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: has never been a military that could do what took place.
• 6:29
  Speaker 3: Just a little while ago.
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: Tomorrow, General Kin, Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth will have
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: a press conference at eight am at the Pentagon, and
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: I want to just thank everybody, and in particular God.
• 6:45
  Speaker 3: I want to just say, we love you God, and we.
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: Love our great military. Protect them. God bless the Middle East,
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: God bless Israel, and God bless America.
• 6:55
  Speaker 3: Thank you very much, Thank you.
• 6:57
  Speaker 4: There is also a sincere gratitude you could hear from
• 7:01
  Speaker 4: the President, So thankful for our men and women in
• 7:03
  Speaker 4: uniform who are willing to risk their lives to protect
• 7:06
  Speaker 4: all of us, and a sincere thanks to God for
• 7:09
  Speaker 4: protecting them in this incredible mission. There was also another
• 7:13
  Speaker 4: aspect of what just happened that's truly incredible, not a
• 7:17
  Speaker 4: single leak. You have a president in this administration that
• 7:21
  Speaker 4: has a very different staff around him, a very different cabinet,
• 7:25
  Speaker 4: and what we witnessed was a team working together to
• 7:30
  Speaker 4: make sure that all the American soldiers were kept safe,
• 7:33
  Speaker 4: that there were no leaks that came out about an
• 7:36
  Speaker 4: incredible mission. One that was incredibly complicated, as you heard
• 7:39
  Speaker 4: from the President, that involved countless people, and one that
• 7:44
  Speaker 4: was successful to the point where not a single shot
• 7:47
  Speaker 4: was fired at us. Jennifer Griffin at Fox News Channel
• 7:51
  Speaker 4: put it this way.
• 7:52
  Speaker 5: Well, Brett, I think, yes, my phone has been literally
• 7:56
  Speaker 5: ringing off the hook. But what I would say is
• 7:59
  Speaker 5: that it's notable, well, how much deception was involved in
• 8:02
  Speaker 5: this operation. All eyes were looking west towards Guam and
• 8:05
  Speaker 5: the B twos that took off late last night towards Guam.
• 8:10
  Speaker 5: It's possible that, but if the distance there would suggest
• 8:14
  Speaker 5: that the B twos may have also flown east from
• 8:16
  Speaker 5: Whiteman Air Force Base in Missouri. Remember the air refuelers,
• 8:20
  Speaker 5: many of them were placed in Europe and in the
• 8:22
  Speaker 5: across the Middle East, and that is what is known
• 8:25
  Speaker 5: as an air refueling bridge, and all of those BE
• 8:27
  Speaker 5: twos would require much air refueling in order to make it.
• 8:32
  Speaker 5: They usually fly round trip from white men. And so
• 8:36
  Speaker 5: what we can say, and the President said this in
• 8:38
  Speaker 5: his truth Social post, is that a full payload of bombs,
• 8:43
  Speaker 5: those massive ordnance penetrators, the thirty thousand pounds bunker buster
• 8:47
  Speaker 5: bombs were dropped at four Dough, and as we have reported,
• 8:50
  Speaker 5: there are two entrances to four Dough, so at least
• 8:53
  Speaker 5: two bombs at each two entrants, which suggest at least
• 8:55
  Speaker 5: two BE twos were involved over four Dough. My suspicion
• 8:59
  Speaker 5: is that there were more. And then you have the
• 9:01
  Speaker 5: two other sites, Natans, which is also has an underground
• 9:05
  Speaker 5: enrichment facility. The Israelis had not been able to reach
• 9:08
  Speaker 5: or take out that facility despite the last ten days
• 9:11
  Speaker 5: of bombing, and so now US warplanes likely another B
• 9:16
  Speaker 5: two bomber had dropped that mop, the thirty thousand pound
• 9:20
  Speaker 5: bunker buster on Natans. And then you also have Isfahan,
• 9:23
  Speaker 5: a third site south of Tehran, and that is also
• 9:26
  Speaker 5: a very significant enrichment facility. So those B two bombers.
• 9:32
  Speaker 5: It's possible that as everybody was looking west for the
• 9:35
  Speaker 5: B twos flying towards Guam, that in fact there was
• 9:37
  Speaker 5: another package of squadron of B twos that were flying
• 9:41
  Speaker 5: east from white Men. It's about a fifteen hour trip
• 9:44
  Speaker 5: from white Men in Missouri to the Middle East to Iran,
• 9:48
  Speaker 5: and those bombers often fly round trip and takes them
• 9:51
  Speaker 5: about thirty hours to get home. But they are out
• 9:53
  Speaker 5: of danger tonight. They are not in Iranian airspace anymore,
• 9:57
  Speaker 5: according to the President. The other thing I can point
• 9:59
  Speaker 5: out this is an operation. In the last eighteen years
• 10:03
  Speaker 5: since I've been at the Pentagon, I've never seen such
• 10:05
  Speaker 5: operational security. There was nobody speaking about this, any of
• 10:10
  Speaker 5: the preparations. There was a complete lockdown, almost a blackout
• 10:14
  Speaker 5: of information for the last few days. I'm sitting here
• 10:17
  Speaker 5: in the Pentagon right now, I can tell you the
• 10:19
  Speaker 5: hallways are empty and all of the information is coming
• 10:23
  Speaker 5: right now out of the White House. That is a
• 10:24
  Speaker 5: significant achievement because there were no leaks about the timing. Now,
• 10:30
  Speaker 5: sometimes I think those who a lot of the flight trackers,
• 10:34
  Speaker 5: the open source intelligence flight trackers, that flight radar did
• 10:39
  Speaker 5: indicate some of the when the B twos took off
• 10:41
  Speaker 5: from white Men. But again, nobody really expected that it
• 10:45
  Speaker 5: would take place this evening. If you looked at the
• 10:47
  Speaker 5: moon schedule, you might have had a clue because it
• 10:49
  Speaker 5: was a waning crescent and almost a new moon on
• 10:54
  Speaker 5: the twenty fifth, so it would have been very very
• 10:56
  Speaker 5: dark over Iran tonight, and you need that in order
• 10:59
  Speaker 5: to to bomb. That's the ideal condition for something like
• 11:04
  Speaker 5: a B two that is, yes, itself stealth, but it
• 11:07
  Speaker 5: still has to be escorted in in case any Iran
• 11:10
  Speaker 5: were to put up any planes or there were any
• 11:13
  Speaker 5: opportunities to fire on those B twos, which are such
• 11:17
  Speaker 5: valuable and very very special planes. Only the US military
• 11:21
  Speaker 5: has this kind of weaponry and this capability. No other
• 11:25
  Speaker 5: country in the world could have carried off. What occurred
• 11:28
  Speaker 5: tonight at those three uranium enrichment sites.
• 11:32
  Speaker 4: Truly incredible work by our men and women in uniform
• 11:34
  Speaker 4: and is you could hear there from the Pentagon. The
• 11:37
  Speaker 4: fact that no one knew that this was happening and
• 11:41
  Speaker 4: no one leaked it truly tells you about how great
• 11:45
  Speaker 4: this administration is that Donald Trump has around him this time.
• 11:49
  Speaker 4: It brings me to the final point. There is a
• 11:51
  Speaker 4: lot of concern about what Iran is going to do
• 11:54
  Speaker 4: next with retaliation. Obviously they are going after Israel as
• 11:59
  Speaker 4: we speak, but what could happen at home and how
• 12:02
  Speaker 4: vigilant should we stay. Well, the answer is we should
• 12:06
  Speaker 4: stay vigilant, We should be careful because there is one
• 12:09
  Speaker 4: major problem. We had a massive open border for far
• 12:12
  Speaker 4: too long under Joe Biden, and what we have found
• 12:15
  Speaker 4: out is that there was an incredible number of Iranian
• 12:18
  Speaker 4: nationals that were deliberately released into the interior of this country,
• 12:23
  Speaker 4: thousands of them. On top of the fact that we
• 12:27
  Speaker 4: also had another problem those that got away that we
• 12:30
  Speaker 4: did not catch that we're clearly coming in from Iran.
• 12:33
  Speaker 4: So is there a real chance that sleeper sales from
• 12:36
  Speaker 4: Iran could be activated in this country? The answer, unfortunately
• 12:40
  Speaker 4: is yes. And who is to blame for that none
• 12:42
  Speaker 4: other than Joe Biden and the Biden administration who deliberately
• 12:46
  Speaker 4: opened our borders and allowed the flood of millions of
• 12:49
  Speaker 4: illegal immigrants into this country. Tom Homan talking on Fox
• 12:52
  Speaker 4: News about how concerned he is about this after the
• 12:56
  Speaker 4: US strikes Iran, Take a listen.
• 12:58
  Speaker 6: So I put numbers this morning just from a CBP
• 13:00
  Speaker 6: under Joe Biden, there was one two hundred and seventy
• 13:04
  Speaker 6: two nationals Iran releasing the country between Ofo and and
• 13:07
  Speaker 6: the Bordatroll. And you compare that to the Trump administration
• 13:10
  Speaker 6: zero right, zero releases and right now, because of President
• 13:13
  Speaker 6: Trump's leadership, we have the most secure border in my lifetime,
• 13:16
  Speaker 6: most secure border in history of this nation.
• 13:18
  Speaker 3: So we have a secure border.
• 13:19
  Speaker 6: So that was a President Trump's big win on security
• 13:22
  Speaker 6: of this nation. So we're not releasing people in this country,
• 13:24
  Speaker 6: especially in Aliens aren't across that border undetected. But under
• 13:28
  Speaker 6: Joe Biden, we had over ten million people cross that border.
• 13:30
  Speaker 6: But my biggest concern from day one, beyond the fat
• 13:33
  Speaker 6: and all beyond the sex trafficking women and children, were
• 13:35
  Speaker 6: the two man known god aways. Over two million people
• 13:38
  Speaker 6: cross that border. We don't know who they are, where
• 13:40
  Speaker 6: they came from, because they got away because Bordatrol was
• 13:43
  Speaker 6: so overwhelmed with the humanitarian crisis that Biden created that
• 13:46
  Speaker 6: over two million people across the border and got away.
• 13:48
  Speaker 6: That is my biggest concern, and that's what created the
• 13:50
  Speaker 6: biggest national security vulnerability this country's ever seen.
• 13:53
  Speaker 4: It's an important reminder of how thankful we should all
• 13:56
  Speaker 4: be that Donald Trump is the president United States of America.
• 14:00
  Speaker 4: Did he secure the southern border and protect us from
• 14:02
  Speaker 4: possible sleeper cells that are trying to get into this country,
• 14:06
  Speaker 4: but he's also protecting us abroad by making sure that
• 14:09
  Speaker 4: a rand doesn't have a nuclear weapon. Yes, we can
• 14:12
  Speaker 4: celebrate the fact that that has happened. We also have
• 14:15
  Speaker 4: to be careful and cautious and vigilant and pray for
• 14:19
  Speaker 4: our men and women in uniform all at the same time.
