- 0:06Speaker 2: amone on seven tenor somehow, it's Monday all over again.
- 0:12Speaker 2: We got a lot to get to today. We'll get
- 0:15Speaker 2: to the incredible rescue and exactly how that happened. We'll
- 0:19Speaker 2: get to the crazies of CNN. We'll get to Artemis,
- 0:24Speaker 2: the Moon mission, the toilet is the big problem. We'll
- 0:28Speaker 2: get to Hey, Eric Adams doing a lot of interviews
- 0:30Speaker 2: all of a sudden, We'll get to JFK Junior. We'll
- 0:33Speaker 2: get to Mom, Donnie and a whole lot more. The
- 0:36Speaker 2: big joke going all over the internet yesterday, Judge Bosburg
- 0:39Speaker 2: orders the airman return to Iran, to that mountain. I mean,
- 0:46Speaker 2: it's it's not funny because that's what these district court
- 0:48Speaker 2: judges do now. So there's a lot going on Iran wise,
- 0:54Speaker 2: the incredible rescue mission. The President today at one o'clock
- 0:58Speaker 2: in the afternoon will hold a press conference with some
- 1:01Speaker 2: military people and they'll explain exactly how this all happened.
- 1:08Speaker 2: We could wait till one o'clock, or actually I can
- 1:10Speaker 2: tell you right now now. What happened was the fighter
- 1:13Speaker 2: jet has a pilot and another pilot who's weapons officer.
- 1:18Speaker 2: They both ejected the problem is when you're going that fast,
- 1:23Speaker 2: the ejections might be a second or two apart, and
- 1:29Speaker 2: at that speed, that could put you at many, many,
- 1:31Speaker 2: many many miles away when you come down. So they
- 1:34Speaker 2: landed in different places. They rescued the first pilot and
- 1:39Speaker 2: then they had to look for the second one. He
- 1:40Speaker 2: was in a different area, in a very mountainous, tricky region.
- 1:45Speaker 2: And there's all kinds of training, elaborate training on what
- 1:49Speaker 2: to do in a case like this, how to evade,
- 1:51Speaker 2: and they say evade, elevate, get to the highest point
- 1:54Speaker 2: you can get to, how to stay hidden, how to survive.
- 1:58Speaker 2: So the pilot was badly wounded in the crash. Remember
- 2:01Speaker 2: you're coming out of a plane in an ejector seat
- 2:05Speaker 2: from many many miles up. It's a tough landing. And
- 2:08Speaker 2: he was seriously wounded. Yet somehow seriously wounded, he managed
- 2:14Speaker 2: to climb seven thousand feet up into a mountain, found
- 2:19Speaker 2: a crevice to hid in. Now the pilot only has
- 2:23Speaker 2: he's only armed with a handgun, that's all he's got,
- 2:25Speaker 2: But he's got incredible GPS stuff that can send out
- 2:29Speaker 2: a beacon saying exactly right right down to the inch
- 2:34Speaker 2: where he is. So they knew where he is. They
- 2:37Speaker 2: just had to figure out this rescue operation and how
- 2:39Speaker 2: to get him out of there. Again. It was in
- 2:43Speaker 2: a mountain very high up, seven thousand feet high up,
- 2:45Speaker 2: so nearby they found a place where they could build
- 2:49Speaker 2: a landing strip. You have to almost create your own
- 2:52Speaker 2: airport within Iran. Now for all the people to think, well,
- 2:55Speaker 2: if we ever went in there on the ground, if
- 2:56Speaker 2: we ever did be it, we'd get wiped out, well
- 2:59Speaker 2: that's not the case. This operation proves that we not
- 3:02Speaker 2: only went in there, we built a landing strip on
- 3:04Speaker 2: the ground. We set up a two mile perimeter around
- 3:09Speaker 2: that landing strip, and then we sent everything over there, drones,
- 3:14Speaker 2: endless amount of drones, satellites, jets, everything to patrol that
- 3:18Speaker 2: two mile perimeter, and anything that came near it was
- 3:22Speaker 2: immediately blown up or destroyed by the drones and the planes.
- 3:27Speaker 2: So we not only set up a landing strip, we
- 3:30Speaker 2: equipped it with two massive cargo ships for helicopters, rescue helicopters.
- 3:35Speaker 2: We put all sorts of stuff there. We also sent
- 3:37Speaker 2: you know for those of these said, well, we can
- 3:38Speaker 2: never have boots on the ground. We had boots on
- 3:40Speaker 2: the ground. Over the weekend, one hundred commandos went in there.
- 3:44Speaker 2: One hundred Special Operations Forces were there at that landing strip.
- 3:48Speaker 2: Sealed Team six Delta Force Army rangers were on standby,
- 3:52Speaker 2: so they were all there, and they did engage in
- 3:54Speaker 2: skirmishes on that perimeter. Those special commandos did have to
- 3:59Speaker 2: battle some local tree tribesman and wipe them out keep
- 4:02Speaker 2: the mission going. So they finally were set up ready
- 4:06Speaker 2: to go. They got up with those helicopters to the
- 4:09Speaker 2: top of that mountain, extracted the pilot who'd been there.
- 4:13Speaker 2: And remember he's there for thirty six hours, and there'd
- 4:17Speaker 2: been a sixty thousand dollars bounty on his head for
- 4:21Speaker 2: any Iranian citizen that could find him. Now, that doesn't
- 4:24Speaker 2: sound like a lot in this country, but it's ten
- 4:27Speaker 2: times the average household income in Iran. It's sixty thousand
- 4:31Speaker 2: is a fortune. It'd be like, you know, six million here,
- 4:34Speaker 2: So thousands were hunting for this pilot. At the same time,
- 4:38Speaker 2: the CIA was able to leak out and Iran picked
- 4:43Speaker 2: this up. They leaked out a whole false story that
- 4:45Speaker 2: we'd already found the airman and that we were removing
- 4:48Speaker 2: him amphibious operation at the sea, So that was to
- 4:52Speaker 2: get Iran focused over there. They did. You know, they
- 4:55Speaker 2: have some missiles left. You know, they probably started with
- 4:58Speaker 2: two hundred and fifty thousand and now they probably got
- 5:01Speaker 2: five thousand missiles, but they do have some and they
- 5:03Speaker 2: were able to damage two of the helicopters, knock them down.
- 5:07Speaker 2: They were also to hit those transport planes we had there,
- 5:11Speaker 2: so they were on the ground. They had to be destroyed.
- 5:14Speaker 2: You don't want those helicopters to go into enemy hands.
- 5:17Speaker 2: They'll figure out all our secrets in there. Same thing
- 5:20Speaker 2: with the plane, so we had to blow them up.
- 5:23Speaker 2: It's about two hundred and fifty million dollars worth of equipment.
- 5:26Speaker 2: We had to blow it up. So we bombed our
- 5:27Speaker 2: own equipment, destroyed it completely. Ran putting up videos of
- 5:33Speaker 2: how they recovered the pieces of the planes. But the
- 5:35Speaker 2: pieces won't tell them anything. They mean absolutely nothing. But
- 5:40Speaker 2: that's what you're supposed to do. Remember Joe Biden when
- 5:42Speaker 2: he left Afghanistan, left billions of dollars worth of our aircraft,
- 5:46Speaker 2: fighter jets, everything on the ground in Afghanistan, just left
- 5:51Speaker 2: it there, fell into enemy hands. Isis took it? Who
- 5:54Speaker 2: knows some of that weaponry might have been used against
- 5:57Speaker 2: us in Iran already. But you supposed to this. Actually,
- 6:01Speaker 2: as Trump said, put a half a gallon of gas
- 6:03Speaker 2: in all the planes and fly them out. But Biden
- 6:05Speaker 2: left them there and didn't destroy them, let them fall
- 6:08Speaker 2: into enemy hands. So President Trump, every Easter weekend, it's
- 6:13Speaker 2: a big thing at mar A Lago. Big Easter weekend
- 6:15Speaker 2: at mar A Lago. He canceled the trip there Friday,
- 6:19Speaker 2: was decided he would not go. He would stay in
- 6:21Speaker 2: the White House the whole weekend. And as this operation unfolded,
- 6:25Speaker 2: he was watching it second by second. He was on
- 6:28Speaker 2: top of it, paying close attention to It was over
- 6:33Speaker 2: by Easter Sunday, and then he did have Easter dinner
- 6:36Speaker 2: at the White House with his family. But it was
- 6:38Speaker 2: an incredible operation, amazing success. Iranian television putting out all
- 6:44Speaker 2: kinds of propaganda about what a failure it was, but
- 6:47Speaker 2: obviously it was an amazing, amazing success. The airman again
- 6:55Speaker 2: seriously injured. They say he'll be fine though, he'll recover,
- 6:58Speaker 2: and he'll be just fine. President one o'clock to day
- 7:02Speaker 2: will give all the details. If you're watching the Sunday shows.
- 7:05Speaker 2: Of course you were completely deceived by George Stephanopolis and
- 7:11Speaker 2: Kristen Welker, and nobody knows who does face the Nation
- 7:14Speaker 2: the CBS show. Now, I can't remember her name. They
- 7:18Speaker 2: should make that a jeopardy question. Even those people won't
- 7:21Speaker 2: know her name. But if you're watching the Sunday Show,
- 7:24Speaker 2: she saw Hakeem Jeffrey's yelling that there's no plan. There
- 7:28Speaker 2: was no plan, this war with no plan. Once again,
- 7:31Speaker 2: here's a fact. This is the single most planned war
- 7:34Speaker 2: ever in history. Forty seven years ago, when Iran declared
- 7:39Speaker 2: war on US and seized our hostages, the United States
- 7:44Speaker 2: the Pentagon started figuring out how to go into Iran
- 7:47Speaker 2: if we had to and take over the country. And
- 7:50Speaker 2: about forty seven years ago they started planning. And for
- 7:52Speaker 2: the last forty years, the Pentagon has been working on
- 7:55Speaker 2: Iran battle plans, war plans for forty years. Talk to
- 8:00Speaker 2: generals that were there thirty years ago or twenty years ago,
- 8:03Speaker 2: or ten years ago or five years ago, they'll tell
- 8:05Speaker 2: you it was one of the plans. They kept refining
- 8:08Speaker 2: and refining and going over and war gaming and doing
- 8:12Speaker 2: tabletopped exercises on it. So it is the single most
- 8:15Speaker 2: planned war ever in the history of the world. Forty
- 8:20Speaker 2: years this plan has been worked one the other. If
- 8:23Speaker 2: you're watching the Sunday shows, you'll see Hakeem Jeffreys and
- 8:25Speaker 2: the Democrats telling this, no goals and there's no No
- 8:28Speaker 2: one knows what the mission is, no one knows why
- 8:30Speaker 2: we're there. Of course, that's absolutely ridiculous. The goals have
- 8:33Speaker 2: been stated over and over and over again. First, get
- 8:36Speaker 2: rid of the nuclear stuff. Second, totally disarmed Iran, and
- 8:40Speaker 2: if possible, get a new regime in there. That's not
- 8:43Speaker 2: crazy and nuts. One of the Pete Haggs have fired
- 8:47Speaker 2: a top general in the Pentagon. And of course, after
- 8:50Speaker 2: watching the fake news the MS now fake news, George Stefanoppolis,
- 8:55Speaker 2: Oh you're here, but this is the most awful crisis.
- 8:58Speaker 2: How could he fire a general? This is unheard of,
- 9:00Speaker 2: It's unbelievable. It's never been done in the middle of
- 9:03Speaker 2: a war. It's done all the time. It's done constantly,
- 9:06Speaker 2: Obama Bush, everybody's fired generals, even in the middle of
- 9:10Speaker 2: the war. Hey remember Stanley McCrystal, mcmember General McCrystal. He's very, very,
- 9:15Speaker 2: very highly regarded General. Obama fired him because he was
- 9:19Speaker 2: caught on tape making a joke about Biden that got
- 9:21Speaker 2: him fired by But but just remember the rule. If
- 9:25Speaker 2: a Democrat fires a general, it's just fine, don't worry
- 9:28Speaker 2: about it. Okay. Then the president tweets out yesterday the
- 9:34Speaker 2: F word, Open the F and straight you crazy bastards,
- 9:37Speaker 2: or you'll be living in hell. Now. You're not supposed
- 9:41Speaker 2: to tweet like that, if you're the president. You're not
- 9:42Speaker 2: supposed to use the F word. You're not supposed to say, well,
- 9:47Speaker 2: bomb you back into the Stone Age, although we said
- 9:50Speaker 2: that a lot in Iraq. That was constantly being said
- 9:52Speaker 2: in Iraq. He said, Tuesday will be power plants and bridges,
- 10:00Speaker 2: take out bridges and all of that. And then this
- 10:03Speaker 2: is where they all went crazy. You know, as they
- 10:05Speaker 2: told you last week. You got to remember President Trump
- 10:08Speaker 2: wakes up every morning and tries to think of how
- 10:11Speaker 2: to make your heads explode, the left wing, the Democrats,
- 10:15Speaker 2: he really does. He actually tries to think how he
- 10:19Speaker 2: could get you even crazier, how he could get you
- 10:21Speaker 2: yelling and screaming, going nuts. And that's why he tweets
- 10:24Speaker 2: things like that. And he really enjoys it. Also, he
- 10:29Speaker 2: enjoys being the center of attention all day long. It's
- 10:32Speaker 2: the ego. But you know, most people, if you're very,
- 10:35Speaker 2: very very famous, if you're the biggest movie star, a
- 10:39Speaker 2: big superstar, you don't run around trying to get in
- 10:41Speaker 2: the front page every day or trying to be on television.
- 10:44Speaker 2: You do it once or twice a year. When you
- 10:46Speaker 2: got a new movie coming out, then you run around
- 10:48Speaker 2: trying to get on everything. Or you got a book
- 10:51Speaker 2: coming out, then you run around trying to get on
- 10:52Speaker 2: every show, try to get a million articles. That's the
- 10:55Speaker 2: only time you do it. Then you go back under
- 10:57Speaker 2: the radar for a while. But Donald Trump, and he's
- 10:59Speaker 2: done all his life. He just likes to be the
- 11:02Speaker 2: center of attention every day, no matter what. Now, watch
- 11:07Speaker 2: this tweet has got him. This is all they're talking
- 11:10Speaker 2: about on left wing media, New York Times, everywhere's front page.
- 11:13Speaker 2: It's the lead story. And this is all they're talking about.
- 11:16Speaker 2: Is this starts to die down, maybe Monday Tuesday. Once
- 11:20Speaker 2: it dies down, he'll tweet another crazy thing or do
- 11:23Speaker 2: another crazy thing just to get you people nuts, just
- 11:27Speaker 2: to rile you up, your crazy Democrats. And then when
- 11:31Speaker 2: he said he'll bomb infrastructure'll bomb bridges, power plants. If
- 11:34Speaker 2: you're watching the Morning Joe type shows, all they're saying
- 11:37Speaker 2: is THESEUS never happened before where the US has threatened
- 11:41Speaker 2: war crimes. This would be war crimes blowing up civilian infrastructure.
- 11:46Speaker 2: We have never ever ever done anything like. Of course
- 11:49Speaker 2: we have. We do it all the time. That's how
- 11:52Speaker 2: we won World War two. Remember we fire bombed Dresden
- 11:56Speaker 2: in Germany. We fire bombed an entire city, wiped out
- 11:59Speaker 2: the whole, the population, the infrastrucure. We do it all
- 12:02Speaker 2: the time in wars. Do you ever hear about Hiroshim?
- 12:06Speaker 2: We do this. This is a common tactic at the
- 12:09Speaker 2: very end to win a war. It's been done many,
- 12:12Speaker 2: many times. Do you remember war crime trials over Hiroshim?
- 12:15Speaker 2: I don't think so. So it's not a war crime.
- 12:19Speaker 2: And what does that mean? A war crime? Who would
- 12:20Speaker 2: enforce that? Who would come and to rest you? Where
- 12:24Speaker 2: would you be on trial for a war crime? The
- 12:27Speaker 2: hag Oh, you'd be back there in front of Jack Smith.
- 12:30Speaker 2: So it's just got them yelling and screaming about war crimes,
- 12:34Speaker 2: which is absolutely ridiculous. Then the other thing they're yelling about,
- 12:37Speaker 2: is well the twenty fifth Amendment. Obviously he's deranged. Obviously
- 12:41Speaker 2: he's gone completely nuts, and it's time to invoke the
- 12:44Speaker 2: twenty fifth Amendment, which would only get them JD. Vance.
- 12:48Speaker 2: I don't think they'd be that happy with that. So
- 12:50Speaker 2: I'm watching again these Sunday shows. They put on people
- 12:53Speaker 2: who have no business talking about anything. Hakeem Jeffreys IQ
- 12:58Speaker 2: eighty maybe doesn't anything about anything, talks like a robot
- 13:02Speaker 2: when he's on TV, and doesn't know anything about any
- 13:06Speaker 2: so they have him as the lead guest. Then I
- 13:09Speaker 2: think it was Meet the Press. Now here's Tim Kane.
- 13:11Speaker 2: You remember him, Tim Kane. He was Hillary Clinton's running mate.
- 13:16Speaker 2: He's just a totally irrelevant guy. So he comes on
- 13:18Speaker 2: talking about the way the president talks in that tweets,
- 13:21Speaker 2: and Kine said, this is not how you negotiate. This
- 13:26Speaker 2: is a very bad negotiating tech. Now, what the hell
- 13:28Speaker 2: would Tim Kane know about negotiating? He got Donald Trump,
- 13:32Speaker 2: who's considered one of the most experienced successful negotiators ever
- 13:37Speaker 2: in the private sector. It's written like seven books about negotiation.
- 13:41Speaker 2: I mean, the guy's an expert and he's been in
- 13:43Speaker 2: the toughest negotiations for forty years. Tim Kane has never
- 13:47Speaker 2: negotiated anything ever, yet he's put on as the authority
- 13:51Speaker 2: on this. Hey, Savannah Guthrie back on the Today Show today. Now,
- 13:56Speaker 2: I didn't see the beginning, but I just put it
- 13:59Speaker 2: on the middle and they were on the couch, all
- 14:01Speaker 2: of them, and they were talking about some entertainment stuff
- 14:03Speaker 2: and she was smiling and laughing and having fun like
- 14:07Speaker 2: a Today Show host. So that's good. She's back to normal.
- 14:10Speaker 2: She's back on the Today Show. Yesterday she put out
- 14:12Speaker 2: a really dark statement about you know, it was Easter Sunday,
- 14:17Speaker 2: and she was talking about hard to believe in God.
- 14:21Speaker 2: She went through this hell and all of this.
- 14:23Speaker 1: Here's someone standing here today. I have to tell you
- 14:28Speaker 1: there are moments in which that promise seems irretrievably far away,
- 14:33Speaker 1: when life itself seems far harder than death.
- 14:37Speaker 2: Yeah, well listen, ye who can imagine what she's been
- 14:42Speaker 2: going through. But she was the most emotional thing yesterday.
- 14:46Speaker 2: Then I'm watching her today on the Today Show. She
- 14:48Speaker 2: laughing and talking about dancing with the Stars and the
- 14:50Speaker 2: voice and well, but she's back at work. She'll be there,
- 14:55Speaker 2: I guess now every day back full time. Hey, we'll
- 14:59Speaker 2: get to to CNN. These crazy people that are they're
- 15:03Speaker 2: all fired, Don Lemon, Jim mccosta, they've all been making
- 15:07Speaker 2: these crazy statements. Even Andrew Cuomo making some crazy statements
- 15:11Speaker 2: over the weekend. We'll take some calls next. Eight hundred
- 15:15Speaker 2: three to two one. The zero seven ten is the number.
- 15:18Speaker 2: Eight hundred three two one zero seven ten. Hey. Also
- 15:23Speaker 2: we'll get to mom, Donnie. It's almost one hundred days now.
- 15:26Speaker 2: It's hard to believe he's almost at one hundred days.
- 15:30Speaker 2: And uh, secretly off the record private. If you talk
- 15:35Speaker 2: to Donald Trump, he'll tell you, and he's good at
- 15:38Speaker 2: reading people. He spend a lot of time with mom.
- 15:39Speaker 2: Donnie said. Most important in the Kaisa Coward he's not
- 15:43Speaker 2: really tough and he's not really brave, so whatever he believes,
- 15:46Speaker 2: he's not going to really push hard for anything. And
- 15:50Speaker 2: that's he found that reassuring. This guy's not going to
- 15:52Speaker 2: fight like crazy to get anything done, so he'll just
- 15:55Speaker 2: talk and make videos. And we're seeing that with this
- 15:58Speaker 2: fight he's having with the city council about taxes. Well,
- 16:00Speaker 2: we'll get to that coming up, and we'll take some
- 16:02Speaker 2: calls next. Eight hundred three two one zero seven ten
