Transcript

[Donald Trump]

Obliterated Iran. The bully of the Middle east must now make peace. If they do not, future attacks will be far greater and a lot easier. For 40 years Iran has been saying death to America, death to Israel. They have been killing our people, blowing off their arms, blowing off their legs with roadside bombs. That was their specialty. We lost over a thousand people and hundreds of thousands throughout the Middle east and around the world have died as a direct result of their hate. In particular, so many were killed by their general, Qassem Soleimani. I decided a long time ago that I would not let this happen. It will not continue. I want to thank and congratulate Prime Minister Bibi Netanyahu. We worked as a team like perhaps no team has ever worked before. And we've gone a long way to erasing this horrible threat to Israel. I want to thank the Israeli military for the wonderful job they've done. And most importantly, I want to congratulate the great American patriots who flew those magnificent machines tonight and all of the United States military on an operation the likes of which the world has not seen in many, many decades. Hopefully we will no longer need their services in this capacity. I hope that's so. I also want to congratulate the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, General Dan Raisin Cain. Spectacular General. And all of the brilliant military minds involved in this attack. With all of that being said, this cannot continue. There will be either peace or there will be tragedy for Iran far greater than we have witnessed over the last eight days. Remember, there are many targets left. Tonight's was the most difficult of them all, by far and perhaps the most lethal. But if peace does not come quickly, we will go after those other targets with precision, speed and skill. Most of them can be taken out in a matter of minutes. There's no military in the world that could have done what we did tonight. Not even close. There has never been a military that could do what took place just a little while ago. Tomorrow, General Kaine, Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth will have a press conference at 8am at the Pentagon. And I want to just thank everybody and in particular God. I want to just say we love you God and we love our great military. Protect them. God bless the Middle East, God bless Israel and God bless America. America. Thank you very much. Thank you.

[Matt Boyle]

There you have it. We may want to play that again. Matt Boyle A interesting talk. I'm not quite sure the talk that a lot of MAGA wanted to hear. I think it needed. It sounded like an open ended either they. I don't know, shut down the nuclear power facilities kind of open ended or give up or surrender. A very open ended is not Matt Boyle.

[Steve Bannon]

I think it was a pretty strong statement from President Trump. The one thing I will say is there's a lot of talk in that very short statement there. And I did find it interesting that he was flanked by Vice President Vance, Secretary Rubio and Secretary Hegseth during that address instead of coming out by himself. And I think that all of those folks are key players. There are others beyond them throughout the administration. But I found that a lot of the talk about future strikes or anything like that to be something that I think people are going to want a lot of clarity on. But in addition to that, I thought the message to Iran was pretty clear.

[Matt Boyle]

Right.

[Steve Bannon]

Like, I mean, the fact is, is that the United States is saying quite clearly here that they've accomplished their objective. Right. Like Iran's nuclear facilities. According to President Trump in this address in our military leadership. And we're going to hear more from Secretary Hegseth and the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, General Kaine tomorrow morning. They're saying that the president saying this and the statements that we're seeing out there saying this, that Iran's nuclear facilities are a thing of the past. So if that's the case, then Iran very clearly should just take a deal with the United States because what's the holdup?

[Jack Posobiec]

Right.

[Steve Bannon]

Like, so they don't have nuclear enrichment facilities anymore, according to President Trump. So I think that the Iranians are in a pretty tough position right now. President Trump's remarks really captured that. But again, the lot of talk there in that very short speech about future strikes seems to have concerns. I would imagine that a lot of people in the America first movement are concerned about a prolonged war. So hopefully the president's push for peace here ends up being successful. And there's every reason to believe that it will be because the President said quite clearly that they don't have nuclear facilities anymore. So if they don't have nuclear enrichment facilities anymore, then there's not much of a disagreement between the two sides. Right. Like, so then one would think a peace deal could be.

[Matt Boyle]

I think. But hang on, I think that's the, I think that's it. Look, it was supposedly a surgical strike. You used the bunker busters. Right. For the Fedora facility, they used the Tomahawks. I think There was what, 20 to 30 Tomahawks fired from U.S. navy submarines. Correct. Against the other two facilities. Obviously, the Fordeau was the most important of course, Iranian media and look, you're in information warfare land now, but they're reporting, hey, they got the, they got the security doors at the front, but nothing else. We'll have to see the bomb damage assessment, of course, tomorrow morning at 8:00am Eastern Daylight Time. General, the Chief Joint Chiefs of Staff Chairman General Raisin Cain, who was President Trump's hammer during the first term to take down the ISIS caliphate. That's where they got the working relationship. He really thinks the world of him and Pete Hegseth are going to give a, an assessment, I guess a detailed assessment on the bomb damage assessment. But it was, I mean, is he looking for, since the facilities have been destroyed, is he looking for them to sign now a deal? They're not going to stay up. Because I think the concerning part, at least the part that's open ended is these additional strikes. Right. He was pretty, I think he might.

[Steve Bannon]

Be sending a message to Steve. I think he might be trying to deter any significant Iranian response here. Right. There are still American bases and military assets and frankly civilians throughout the Middle east and here too in the United States. I mean, I think there is likely to be a lot of concern among Americans here about, at home about possible cyberattacks, about possible sleeper cells that are Iranian aligned folks, Hezbollah aligned folks maybe here domestically in the United States. And there's, you know, I think he's trying to deter, that he's trying to send a message to the Iranians, I think there by saying, all right, we're done, we did what we wanted to do. There's nothing else coming unless you guys do something more. So I think that it's a pretty clear message. I think the President's pretty strong here in response. I mean, look, events will determine what happens next. It's still the middle of the night in Iran and it's getting pretty late here on the East Coast. So the fact is, is that I don't think we'll have an answer tonight.

[Matt Boyle]

It's not, it's not the middle of night in Iran. I think it's actually coming to, I think it's, I think it's sunrise or beyond. Right. I think it's, you know.

[Steve Bannon]

I have to keep googling what time is it in Iran. So. But the point is that, you know, what Iranian, Iran's response looks like, if any. I think the President trying to determine a significant Iranian response and that's why I think he was being as aggressive and belligerent in talking about future strikes in those remarks. But I do think that the president made it clear that he achieved the objective and he doesn't want this to continue. The president is saying he doesn't want this to continue. The only way things continue with any American involvement here is if the Iranians want it continue. Right. Like and I think that, you know, as this progresses from here, we'll see if events, you know, shape out that way or not.

[Matt Boyle]

What was your sense when you talked to congressional leaders? Like I said, most of them had not been read into this. A few, I think were, I don't even know, brief, but given a heads up, where do they stand?

[Steve Bannon]

All right. So I talked to a few different Senate offices and House offices in the time since I left the studio and came back home to come in live here and watch the president. They were saying that generally speaking, they're very supportive across the board. I haven't talked to any Republicans who are not. They wanted to get a sense of where the base is at and I kind of told them, I'm like, I think that if this is it, then I think people will be pretty supportive of that. The question is will it drag out into a longer drawn out.

[Matt Boyle]

I'm not so sure about that. I think there are a number, particularly under 35. I think they got to be brought along and it's got to be explained in more depth, particularly why Israel didn't do this. I just think you got to do it right. I can tell in the I can tell the live chats there's some work to do. It's interesting that Rish tonight what Rish you pulled and when Rish said no, no more forever wars, we're not doing any more than this, I mean he was more adamant, right. Than other people we've heard tonight. Anyway. Matt, can you hang on? I realize late, but I want to pick your brain some more. Short commercial break of course, the great Johnny Khan takes that with American heart. We're going to be around 8am tomorrow morning. We'll figure out who has the morning duty. Somebody's got on a Sunday morning, somebody's got to be there. For Pete Hegseth and Raisin King, the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff will give a bomb damage assessment of exactly what went on tonight in in in Persia with a hit by the United States military, United States Navy with Tomahawk missiles from submarines and then bunker busters from the from the Air Force. Short commercial break we're back in real America's voice, the war room on a historic Saturday night. We have we've enjoyed now the Israeli Persian War as a combatant on a Saturday night in June. Short break, back in a moment. I got American parlor, I got American.

[Brian Glenn]

Faith.

[Matt Boyle]

In America's heart.

[Brian Glenn]

Go on, raise the flag.

[Steve Bannon]

A couple hours ago on the air. And I think that, and I've expressed this to several Republican leaders on Capitol Hill that their statements need to be clearer as well. One of the things I've heard from a lot of people is that they, you know, again, the President seems to be saying that America's role here is finished unless Iran does something to drag America further in. And a lot of senators are saying.

[Matt Boyle]

Whoa, whoa, whoa, hold it before. Full stop, full stop, full stop, full stop. Of course Iran's going to try to hang back. I mean, this is how these things go. This is the law of unintended consequences. This has got to be prepared for. It's either a tactical strike. We did it. And now it's bbs. This is what I was concerned about in the talk. It was some open ended, hey, if you come back, you're going to get hit again. And you know, we worked as a team and you know, we knew about this. This is the way, this is incrementalism. If they hit back at American troops or do we go back in and hit again. Next thing you know, brother, you're in a forever war. Am I, am I incorrect in that?

[Steve Bannon]

Well, that's the, that's the slippery slope to be concerned about and events will determine whether or not those concerns will play out or not.

[Matt Boyle]

Right.

[Steve Bannon]

Like, and so that's the question at this point. We don't know the answer to that right now. We only know what we know. We know what the President said, we know what the others have said. We know what the President just came out and you know, the threats he just made to the Iranians just now in that address from the White House. We're going to learn a lot more tomorrow morning, I think from the Secretary of Defense and from the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. We'll see. Like, we don't know yet. The sun's rising in Iran right now. So what are they going to do in response? There's a lot of unknown questions right now, but I do think that, you know, for, for now, so, you know, we'll see if this is ends up being it and this ends up being just like the Soleimani strike and it's a very targeted thing and then we're moving on, then it probably works out for President Trump. So we'll see. I don't know yet. Like there's a lot of unknown things here and I'm not entirely certain where it goes from here.

[Matt Boyle]

Well, we'll start with the bomb damage assessment tomorrow morning. How about that? Matt Boyle. Matt Boyle, where they go on, where they go with. For all your social media?

[Steve Bannon]

Yeah, just @mboyle1 on X Twitter and then real at real. Matt Boyle on True Social and then just go to breitbart.com our team is working very hard. I'm working with all of our reporters. We got tons of stories going up on Breitbart right now. So, yeah, we're working very hard through the night here. Exciting stuff. And what a time. Steve, I was glad to join you there for several exciting, exciting, exciting stuff. Never a dull moment in Trump's.

[Matt Boyle]

And thank. And thank you for doing it, brother. Appreciate you. You get some sleep. That was a full day. Wow. We've got Brian Glenn. Let's go to the great Brian Glenn. Brian, your beat is the White House. Walk me through what you saw and heard tonight.

[Brian Glenn]

Yeah, Steve, thanks for having me on on this Saturday night, historic Saturday night, no less. As soon as I received word of what we did with that B52 and those bunker busters going deep into the earth there causes damage, and like you said, we'll find out tomorrow exactly the extent of that damage, I immediately started getting messages from not only industry colleagues, but people that live overseas, people that live actually right outside where NATO will take place on Tuesday and Wednesday of next week. And they were saying, what does this look like for the world right now? What does it look like for peace amongst the world? And I agree with you, Steve, 1,000% here. Where does this lead the U.S. if Iran was to retaliate at any side, it could be at a military base around the world. It could be some suicide bomber here in the States that would injure or, God forbid, kill Americans. Does that drag us into another war? And I like what you said. It's almost like we can turn to the Israeli military and their government and say, okay, we did what no one else could do. This is your fight from here. You guys take over. We did what no one else could do with the B52s. But, Steve, what I'm reading online, and I'm sure you're hearing as well, and I've been trying to keep up with this as much as possible. The base is, for the better part, a split base. Right now. They trust President Trump. They support President Trump no matter what. That's why we elected him. He's a leader. He's a very determined leader and he makes really tough decisions. But they are just worried that we don't get dragged into another war and if they retaliate. And Steve, I think we're stiff and glue if we don't think that they're going to try and punch back at the U.S. that's, that's just us being too optimistic, thinking that they would not do that. So if they do, where does it go from there? And we know there's not a better president in the office, in my opinion and I think you would agree that is the strongest military supporter that exists that would defend this country and Americans. But I don't want us to get to that. And what I mean, Steve, Americans are very concerned that this might lead us into the next war.

[Matt Boyle]

Well, the opportunity costs. I just Iranian TV is saying, I think the out ayatollah or whoever is there speaking for him is saying, hey, we're not stopping this only hit the doors. It's not a big deal. Of course information were for everything they say is a lie and that they're going to, they're going to continue their enrichment program. So right there they're challenging President Trump, at least now when they first come out acting tough. Also, some sites in Israel are saying that quoting the American officials really President Trump if the Iranian regime attacks Americans, the regime will not get to stay in power. That's regime change. I think that's what's got to really be watched here is incrementalism up the escalatory ladder. I think President Trump, correct me if I'm wrong, Brother Brian, do they President Trump, I think, tried to propose this as a surgical, tactical precision strike that he had a very set of objectives to hit to hit Fedor. Now let's be blunt. The Israelis told us over and over again that they could take care of the other two facilities. Yet we had 20 to 30 Tomahawk missiles from US Navy submarines. So we expanded, although it was precision, we expanded beyond the original target set that people talked about. Is that not true? So we are now.

[Brian Glenn]

That is true.

[Matt Boyle]

Even on this precision strike, a deeper combatant. This is and in the speech and hasn't been lost in the, it hasn't been lost in the chat that he thanked Bibi Netanyahu, who I would think right now at least the war room's position is the last guy on earth you should thank.

[Jack Posobiec]

Right.

[Matt Boyle]

Because I think, I don't think we've been dealing from the top of the deck. The question's got to be why do we send the Tomahawks onto the other nuclear facilities. That was the only question here, was the Americans. You know, it's Kayleigh McEnally's one swoop, right? One swoop at Fedora. Now we're engaged in a broader set of combat targets and you got the US Navy now doing Tomahawks, right? So it shows. You got to finish what you started. I mean, obviously the Israelis bit off more than they could chew. Let's just be blunt. The Americans came tonight under President Trump in a target package. And I think he's sitting there going, hey, this is it. I want you guys to stand down now. If they don't, if the Iranians don't stand down, that's where it's going to get. That's when it's going to get interesting. I do think that the first order of business is actually get a detailed briefing by Pete Hegseth and by the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, General Raisin Cain. I tell you what, Brian, can you hang around? We got David's here at the White House. Brian Glenn is with me. We may have poso with us. You know, it's late at night. I don't know if you're going to get Erik Prince. I think he's in bed by this time. We're going to try to do it all. Modern day Holy War takes us out. What a amazing song to take us out here at the bottom of the hour. Approaching 10:30, President Trump. The talk was only about five minutes and you know, it was not your typical President Trump talk, but he addressed the nation very forcefully and I think addressed the Iranian leadership very forcefully. Short commercial break we're back in the war room in just a moment. There are secrets that I hid and I can tell you why but you gotta believe you gotta believe Open your eyes no time to be blind Open your mind to see we're in a coming after. Mind your soul. Welcome. I want to thank our sponsor, Birchgold. Birchgold.com I think it's going to be turbulent on Monday. I'm just tossing that out there. Maybe. I warned you guys. Go to the end of the dollar empire. Now the BRICs more than ever. You think Iran's going to put their shoulder to the wheel in Rio? I think so. I think you've tipped over a Hornet's Nest tonight. Birchgold.com go check it out. Promo code Bannon end of the dollar empire. Talk to Philip Patrick and team. Do it this weekend. Get online and get it because Monday it's going to be rip Roaring Jack Posovic. I'm going to go back to the White House. David Zir is there. He's hearing all kind of information. Zero's plugged in all over the region and knows this Islamic Jihad better than anybody. Brian Glenn's going to stick with us. Our main guy at the White House, Jack Bosobik, joins us. Poso, I'm not quite understanding the target set here, the other two facilities, I thought Israel was taking those. And I don't know why the United States name Navy had to hit it with 30 tomahawks. Don't get me wrong, you hit it with 30 tomahawks, United States Navy, you're going to do some big league damage, okay? From submarines. But why was that even in our target package, sir?

[Jack Posobiec]

Well, Steve, how are you? Obviously, a very important night. And look, you know, as you said this morning, the party was on here. You heard on the war room morning show that probably before you heard it anywhere the party was on, the party would be on tonight. And so the question is, of course, and I've been hearing all sorts of different things regarding the target package, regarding the strike package as well. And so I'm taking a deep breath and saying I got to stay frosty until we figure out, okay, what exactly was the ordinance that was dropped, what was hit, how was hit, and then as I always say on here, what was the battle damage assessment? And that's going to be tricky when it comes to these facilities that were deep underground, although we hear, of course, at the facilities Isfahan and Natanz, they were nowhere near as deep underground. We're also hearing seeing some stuff about bunker busters that were used on Natanz as well. That's according to the New York Times. So this keeps going back and forth regarding what specifically the the ordinance that was used was. And you know, we'll see if, of course, if DoD puts anything out specifically, of course, we'll wait to hear from Secretary Hegseth, his office and you know, the great team that he's got over there regarding that. And so, you know, when it comes down to it, but when it comes down to it, Steve, look, when the, when the United States Navy does one thing and it does one thing well, and that's called putting warheads on foreheads. And that's exactly what our sailors did tonight. And then of course, with our brethren over in the Air Force, when it comes to the B2 stealth bomber, this was a, this was almost, you don't want to say routine, but this is exactly what they trained for. This is the exact type of operation that they do train for. It was obviously just done on a much greater scale than has ever really been seen before. But in training, but training wise, this is very much right down the middle in terms of what a B2 Spirit bomber crew is trained for.

[Matt Boyle]

You know, tomorrow, because it's going to talk about their blowback and all that on the battle damage assessment. What are you looking for? Because Iranian tv, and we understand this is information war, they're saying nothing happened. You got the, you got some, you got the security doors and nothing else. And also they came back and said, we're not shutting down any program. We've hid this stuff. We're still pursuing. So they're still trying to defy President Trump publicly. His speech was pretty much, hey, if you depart, I think MAGA is like sitting there going, what is where he talked about additional strikes if certain behaviors were not done. What Tomorrow morning at 8 o' clock is Jack Posovic looking for? That would give people some level of confidence that the tactical precision strike that President Trump always talked about he might do was actually done, delivered and we can move on.

[Jack Posobiec]

Well, Steve, what we're going to want to really see in, and I'm sure the Iranians are going to be covering this up as much as possible. Well, first of all would be if Iran is saying that there was no real damage done to these sites, then what they need to do is show us the sites, show us the centrifuges, then Iran, if that's true, if there's no, you know, the onus is really on them at this point, so the strike has been done, that's taken place. So if Iran's saying that only minimal damage was done and that's. Iranian state TV is blaring that everywhere and they're cutting off the Internet and they're doing all the rest, then show us the facilities, Iran show us footage, prove that it's of the facility, prove that it's time dated in such a way. Because there's a lot of stuff flying around X right now, flying around Twitter right now. And what we need is ground truth. We need absolute ground truth. This is why, by the way, this was one of the reasons I should say that Netanyahu had suggested potentially involving commandos in a situation like this. Because of the question, the serious question of the battle damage assessment and because this thing is so far deep underground, we want to know exactly what happened. Whether President Trump, whether. Whether this strike indeed was successful or because we know, because that Iran operates area dispersal, which means did they have some of these centrifuges, perhaps in facilities that were nearby but outside the blast radius? Are there other sites that would need to be struck in order to continue President Trump's commander's mission objective? Again, just a lot of questions that and by the way, these are the same routine questions that you would have that any analyst or any targeteer would have after any strike. Yes, it's on, on a much greater scale, but that's part of the discipline of battle damage assessment. It's routine and it is a process that is followed after every strike, large or small.

[Matt Boyle]

I want to throw this. It's like President Trump's watching worm and teeters. Up for the next segment, something that was kind of quite a little bit blurred in his speech. I want to read it to you first. It just came across put up on Truth, then have Zir and also Brian Glenn respond. Also, the great Charlie Kirk, I think, is going to join us. This is a, I'm quoting Jack Bosobic. Any retaliation, this is from President Trump. Any retaliation by Iran against the United States of America will be met with force far greater than what was witnessed tonight. Thank you. Donald J. Trump, President of the United States. Your thoughts on that, sir?

[Jack Posobiec]

Well, Steve, of course, you know that that response is being given because we, we certainly hope that Iran responds in, in a restrained capacity. Now that, of course, is hoping for a lot and praying for a lot, but we're praying for is that our sailors, our airmen, our Marines, our soldiers, everyone that we've got that's within region, that's within striking distance of the Iranian military, particularly in the central Arabian Gulf, particularly in what they call the cag. So that's directly across from Iran there in the Gulf. There's a lot of bases there. Yes, we know there's been evacuations that's been going on that activity all week, really the last week, two weeks. So a lot of telegraphing of a potential strike. Now, we know the strike has taken place, but of course there's a lot of assets in the air, in the region, not to mention at sea. We've got an entire flotilla of destroyers and two carrier strike groups, one of which the Carl Vinson directly operating outside the Gulf of Aden, and then another, the USS Nimitz that is responding, I believe, has finished its transit through the Straits of Malacca and is now cutting across the Indian Ocean towards that very same region. So the North Indian Ocean. So, Steve, there's going to be a lot of, a lot of American souls that are within range of Iranian warheads that are, that are right now and also very soon. And that's President Trump's promise to protect them. And we know that President Trump, of course, is the type of commander in chief and is the commander in chief who has their interest at heart. Pete Hegseth puts the war fighter first. That's what this tweet's about. It's about keeping them safe.

[Matt Boyle]

But, but I might duly note about the opportunity costs. You know, President Trump's putting additional out to clarification and to also drive the narrative forward, the atomic energy, you know, commission of Iran, the bad guys have put something out. Hey, we're going to continue on doing this, right? They just put that statement out. We're meeting tomorrow at 8am you, other people are going to follow it. This is going to be an option. I'm telling you.

[Jack Posobiec]

You.

[Matt Boyle]

This is how you get sucked into this, right? This is how you not don't focus on Los Angeles. This is how you don't focus on sanctuary cities. This is how you don't focus on the great beautiful bill. Everything we need to do. It's just not that it's wrong to take these actions. Sometimes you must take these actions. In this case, President Trump came to the conclusion he had to take these actions. I think one of the questions about the Israelis is, we thought you had the other nuclear facilities. Why did we have to have US Navy submarines drop 25 or 30 Tomahawks? Like you said, they're professionals. They can do this all day long, and we'll do it all day long. Let's go to David Ziri. You know a lot about this, plus the blowback. You know the region, you know, all the vendettas. What is your thoughts tonight, sir?

[David Zier]

Well, this explains why Trump didn't take any questions when he landed on Marine One before. And we came back into the complex here through extra security measures here. I just wanted to say Iranian Islamic broadcasting is saying that we did not destroy Fordo, we just damaged the tunnel entrances there. And then they're also. Iran today is also bragging that AOC is calling for Trump's impeachment and that we're going to be ensnared for generations in combat here. And I just wanted to add that, you know, Israel was striking those plants, and at the Tanz, they destroyed like 16,000 centrifuges. And the International Atomic Energy Commission was reporting that there was radiation leaking out of there. So I don't know if further attacks on there may have enhanced that. I'm not sure. I'm just speculating. But also I just got a text before Trump spoke from Eric Mandel, the.

[Matt Boyle]

Jerusalem security so hang on, hang on, slow down one second. I just want to make sure everybody knows Iranian TV in the, in the regime is trying to convince their own citizens, hey, America, got nothing here. We're still stronger. We're coming back. I mean, they're in a situation now trying to hold it together in the, the first casualty of war, ladies and gentlemen, is truth, okay? The first casualty of war is truth. So you're seeing now the Iranian, the Iranian regime, everything you're going to see on tv. Now, there may be some truthiness in it, there may be certain elements, but they're going to spin it as hard as possible. I think the bottom line is they're just not going to sit down here and lay down. Who knows even what capacity they have to strike back. I'll go back to Jack in that second, but continue on what you said someone in the Jerusalem Post.

[David Zier]

Yeah. Before I get to that, Atomic Energy Commission of Iran also condemned the attacks. But Eric Mandel, the senior security editor, Jerusalem Post texted me right before Trump came on and was, you know, congratulating Trump on the strikes. But he also conveyed to me that he was very concerned about spillover, very concerned about retaliation in the Gulf states and other and against US Bases and troops. And I just wanted to say to you, and maybe people can digest this. You know, eight hours ago or so, Putin made a speech, I think in St. Petersburg at an economic summit saying that the whole of Ukraine is ours and every step a soldier takes, it belongs to Russia inside Ukraine. So our foreign leaders, you know, taking advantage of this crisis to do what they want. Right. So we got to keep an eye on that. And this also dispels the attacks, though, on your, on Iran, that Kinziger called Trump a taco last night on CNN dispelled that. But someone also texted me, Yuri Kaufman, the author of American Intifada, he just texted me, said this the end of Obama's JCPOA deal.

[Matt Boyle]

Jack Vasobek, how do you avoid the tick for tack? President just gave a warning if, if I'm the Iranians and I hear that I want to hit a couple of things because I want to suck them more into the combat, don't I? Don't, don't I want to get the United States more and more involved and entangled in this, sir?

[Jack Posobiec]

Well, Steve, I mean, let's, let's, let's, let's not, you know, let's let's not get too over our skis here either way, because the Iranians also understand that the United States is a nuclear power. The United States military far exceeds Iran's capabilities and certainly does have the ability to do quite a bit. President Trump, of course, telegraphing that he could have assassinated Khamenei earlier this week. The Israelis, the sort of strategic game theory, the US Game theory, of course, is hoping that there is no escalation and of course, hoping that the escalation, if it does occur, does not result in the deaths of US Soldiers, sailors, airmen or Marines. Because if soldiers, troops are killed in the advent or in the aftermath of any of this, then of course, as President Trump has already said, that could lead to escalation and that could lead to greater escalation. This, of course, the escalatory ladder that we've been talking about all week as well. But when it comes down to it, the real hope here is that this was a and there's a key difference, by the way, a key difference between nuclear capabilities and nuclear program. Iran's nuclear capabilities have absolutely, after this strike, regardless of what the exact PDA is, it's absolutely been set back several years. The program, of course, refers to the technology itself. It can be rebuilt. But and, and likely at this point, according to the regime, if they don't have a deal, will be rebuilt because they're trying to find a way to be able to respond. That puts them in a position where President Trump has the ability to ratchet up either warfare or ratchet up negotiations as he sees fit.

[Matt Boyle]

Jack, hang on a second. We're just, we're going to wrap up here in a few minutes. Of course, we'll figure out tomorrow who's going to cover it. We're going to obviously stream it live. The 8am battle damage assessment by Pete Hexith and the chairman of the Joint Chiefs, Raisin Cain. General DAN RAISIN Cain Zir, you know, the neighborhood, the other Gulf emirates, the other allies, the signers of the Abraham Accord. How are they going to get jammed up tonight given the fact that we did attack. Right. A Muslim nation. Right. However you want to say, Persia, bad guys, all that Shiite versus Sunni, understanding that the, the local, the local Emirates, you know, hate the Persians have had a detente for a couple of years. How do you think this is going to play?

[David Zier]

I haven't seen any statements or, you know, anything from those states right now. But I'll add that, like we spoke at the parade last week, you know, the UAE imports 7.9 billion or so dollars in petrochemicals, some fossil fuels and other imports in there. So these countries are inextricably linked, too, even though some are Sunni and some are Shia, some are Salafi and some are, you know, a little, little bit less. So this is going to be interesting how this plays out. And does this strengthen the Sunni alliances across the region as well to encourage maybe an overthrow in Iran, Right. To take out the Shiite power. So I don't know where it's going to go. I'm going to follow that closely for you. I'll do some more homework on it.

[Matt Boyle]

Hang on. Hey, Jack, Congressman Gates came on tonight and actually had a very controversial statement. He said, look, I think you can look at this. Part of it is that Israel initiating this as quickly as they did might not be too upset about chaos in the Persian Gulf and around the Persian Gulf, particularly with the Emirates, right. That they were taken back by President Trump's coming into the, to the Arab nations a couple of weeks ago and talking about deals, talking about crypto giving artificial intelligence deals, advanced chip design, you know, the artificial intelligence chip to the UAE center. Your thoughts on that? It was pretty controversial and Gates has been out there for the last couple of weeks being controversial, sir.

[Jack Posobiec]

Well, Steve, I mean, you want to look at the basic fundamentals here. And I've talked for a while about how the Arab nations are no friends of Persia, they're no friends of Iran. They're clearly opposed to the regime, not necessarily on, not necessarily only on religious grounds, the Sunni, Shia split, but also because they're competitors when it comes to this global oil market. And so they can see the situation where the price of oil goes up and they have the ability to either take out a key, a key competitor or perhaps take over parts of that key competitor. Remember, Iran was one of the biggest beneficiaries of the ultimate aftermath of the war in Iraq and the chaos that ensued from the fall of Saddam Hussein to take out of the Baath Party. The Shia were really the ones that swept in there. And so this has been a huge boon for them. And so the Sunnis, the Arabs had, have been looking for a way to hit back for quite some time. So it wouldn't surprise me that if they were publicly opposing this and say, oh, we're opposed because it's Israel, etc. Etc. That quietly behind the scenes that they're cheering all of this on.

[Matt Boyle]

Jack, what are you going to be looking for just one more time? Because this is going to be very important about how drives this entire narrative about exactly what was accomplished given the fact that there was two target sets, one was Tomahawks, was it 20 to 20? For 20, 25 to 30 Tomahawks from US Navy submarines on the other two facilities and then bunker busting bombs on the, on Ford or the main one. What are you looking for tomorrow to convince you that the evidence is there that this was mission, this was mission accomplished and that these facilities are down and everything Iranian TV is saying is just more of their propaganda to try to save face and save the regime?

[Jack Posobiec]

Well, Steve, that's what we're looking for. I mean, Iran, you know, they say the, they say that the web, the Internet is down. They can't get it to the websites, they can't get anything up there. But Iran's a giant country and these sites are enormous. This is a giant mountain. So the idea that no social media can come out of there I think is kind of ludicrous. So what I want to look for is that heavy smoke, major damage, videos coming out, weather, and then of course for satellite later. I'm hoping, I'm hopeful that there are declassified satellite imageries that are able to come out regarding this site. And you know, we're looking for impact craters, we're looking for all sorts of things like that, whether there's a, whether there's a scattered radius of the bombardment. Again, these are all the key signatures that you're going to look for for battle damage assessment. But again, I'm just going to, you know, I'm just going to always caveat that with saying that because this facility was so deep underground, I mean, it'd be like, you know, it'd be like striking, striking one of the pyramids and asking what happened to Pharaoh's tomb underneath? Because it's going to be very hard to tell just from imagery itself without getting, and I would guess, and I'm not going to get, you know, ahead of the President here, but I would guess that if Mossad does have operatives that are operating within Iran, that they're probably going to be working the chain very hard, paying off individuals and using that human intelligence. I had Lieutenant Colonel Tony Schaefer on Human Events Daily the other day. I said this is exactly the type of job that calls for human intelligence because Imagery, Comms, sigint, it's just not going to get the job done. You need, you know, at least spies on the ground to be able to figure out what's exactly going on.

[Matt Boyle]

Jack, social media, where do people go to get all tonight. And then after your assessment tomorrow morning.

[Jack Posobiec]

After the 8:00am brief, of course, at Jack Posobic, I'm going to hop, I was on the Charlie Kirk live stream, going to hop back on there now. We're chopping it up, we're going through super chats, we're up on everything and, you know, we're taking all the incoming. People are, you know, there are people who are feel one way and people who feel another way and we're, we're calling balls and strikes and trying to see how everybody feels about this thing. President Trump says it was a successful strike. I take him at his word. Have a lot of trust in this president. I believe he's earned it after everything he's been through.

[Matt Boyle]

He does. Thank you very much, Charlie Kirk. See you tomorrow. Brian Glenn, we got about a minute, 90 seconds for you. Give us your summary tonight and we'll see you tomorrow.

[Brian Glenn]

Yeah, it's going to be a very interesting day in Washington D.C. not only tomorrow, but on Monday we're fully back in the White House and of course NATO President Trump leaving for that briefly. One thing I do like about this, Steve, is that just shows that MAGA conservatives can have an intellectual conversation, maybe a heated debate on, on issues. We can do that and still stand behind the party. The left doesn't allow dialogue when it comes to policies and what the left wants to do, they just simply shut you down. So it is a very healthy conversation that we're having. I do enjoy reading a lot of the comments, Steve, as you do too, of what's how the nation is reacting to this. A lot of people have questions on this, but I do agree with Jack Posobic and I agree with a lot of people that are weighing in on this. I trust President Trump that he knows exactly what he's doing, he's got the intel and he'll do what's best for the American people. Steve.

[Matt Boyle]

Brian, thank you very much. Great job as usual. Social media, where do people get you?

[Brian Glenn]

Yeah, you can find me at Brian Glenn TV across the board at Brian on Truth Social, in Instagram, Facebook, X. I'll be as much as I can trying to get some information relay through my sources. I'll pump it out as soon as I get it. But looking forward to be back there in Washington D.C. to continually cover this huge story.

[Matt Boyle]

Thank you, brother. Yes, it is.

[Brian Glenn]

Thank you, Steve.

[Matt Boyle]

Hopefully keep, keep America out of this war, although in it now it's combatant David Zier. We got about a minute, sir. Tell me your closing thoughts tonight. Great coverage all day at the White House.

[David Zier]

It's a huge day. One of the most important days probably in a couple of generations here. I hope that things don't escalate. I hope the other regions in the area remain stable. I hope other countries don't take advantage of this situation and take action and do things that we don't approve of. But we have faith in President Trump here. I think a lot of Americans do. There is a dependent debate going on within the ranks of maga, but all in all, we have the military might and the superiority, air superiority, naval superiority and to take care of this. And you know, we've removed some of our assets from Qatar, I think about 40 aircraft or so. So we're pulling some of our assets out of harm's way if there are retaliatory strikes. Yeah, let's just hope.

[Matt Boyle]

David, David, where the people people go. Where do people go to get your social media, we got to bounce.

[David Zier]

At Dave Zier on X at David Zier on Getter and Truth Social and Facebook and Insta. David W Zer. Thank you, Steve.

[Matt Boyle]

Great job at the White House today, sir. Well, we committed we told you the party was on today was just who was going to host. We now know it's the United States of America, not Israel. We might drill down on that topic in the coming days. 8am tomorrow, Real America's Voice is going to continue and I will tell you 8am tomorrow, Eastern Daylight Time. Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth, the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, General Dan Raising Cain will give you a battle damage assessment that I know our entire audience will want to watch. Keep in touch with Grace and Mo on social media, myself on Getter about maybe if we make an appearance tomorrow sometime we'll have to figure this out. Historic weekend, the 21st of June, the year of our Lord 2025. America goes to war. See you probably tomorrow when you'll be back in the war room. Want to thank Real America's Voice, everybody. Thank you, Sam. Sa it.
