Transcript [00:00] Iran just released a single photo of a [00:02] launching ballistic missile with a [00:04] chilling five-word warning, "The world [00:07] will be amazed." Obviously, this warning [00:10] could be bluster, groundless boasting by [00:12] Iran. Except right now, US Secretary of [00:15] War Pete Hesgeth just made a quiet [00:18] unannounced flight to Israel for an [00:20] emergency meeting with Bibi Netanyahu. [00:23] Pete Hesgeth has never visited Israel in [00:25] an official capacity to date. Not when [00:27] Iran was going nuclear and not during [00:29] the original missile strikes on Israel. [00:32] So, why fly halfway across the world for [00:34] an unannounced visit right [music] [00:37] now? Something is brewing behind closed [00:39] doors and there are warning signs all [00:41] over the place that something massive [00:43] may be coming down the pipeline for [00:44] Hezbollah, Iran, and possibly Syria. [00:49] So, we are 8 days out from elections in [00:52] Israel and uh Bibi is in full campaign [00:55] mode. Monday night, Bibi was scheduled [00:57] to attend the Beitar Jerusalem soccer [00:59] game with 30,000 fans in the stadium. [01:02] But instead, Bibi was notified at the [01:03] last minute that US Secretary of War [01:05] Pete Hesgeth would be arriving in Israel [01:08] for a meeting with Bibi. So, Bibi was [01:10] flown to the Ovda airbase in southern [01:12] Israel and the meeting was held there. [01:16] Hesgeth did not make any media [01:18] appearances while in Israel and Bibi has [01:20] also been tight-lipped on what happened. [01:22] And uh when asked why Hesgeth visited [01:24] Israel, Trump had this to say. [01:27] >> On Israel/Iran, can you fill us in on [01:30] what Secretary Hesgeth spoke about with [01:32] Prime Minister Netanyahu? [01:33] >> do that now. [01:34] >> It's really interesting that Trump [01:35] didn't even try to deflect the question [01:37] here. Normally, a politician in this [01:39] position would have some kind of an [01:41] answer like, you know, Hesgeth went to [01:42] discuss the broad state of Middle East [01:44] readiness or he went to discuss further [01:46] cooperation between our two countries. [01:49] But instead, Trump just said he can't [01:51] talk about it, which all points to [01:53] something bigger going on than what [01:55] meets the eye. Like I said at the [01:57] beginning, Iran just issued an open [01:59] threat possibly to Israel, possibly to [02:01] the United States. This alone isn't a [02:04] major cause for concern because Iran has [02:07] issued threats like this before. What is [02:09] a cause for concern is what's been [02:10] happening alongside of this threat. More [02:13] and more signs from Iran have been [02:15] pointing towards a coming escalation of [02:18] some kind. Uh last week Iran told [02:20] Hezbollah leaders to be prepared for the [02:22] United States to resume war with Iran. [02:25] They have also begun increased attacks [02:27] on ships passing through the Strait of [02:29] Hormuz. Just last week only half of the [02:31] weekly average of ships made it through [02:33] the strait, the lowest number since [02:36] July. Iran also is threatening to cut [02:39] the seven undersea internet cables that [02:41] pass through the strait, uh which would [02:43] be a massive blow for Bahrain, Qatar, [02:46] the UAE, Kuwait, and Iraq. Trump has [02:49] announced publicly that he won't be [02:50] giving the green light for another [02:52] strike against Iran until after the [02:55] elections. But apparently just a few [02:57] days ago something happened to change [02:59] his mind. Media outlets are reporting [03:01] that a couple of days ago Trump was very [03:03] close to ordering a strike against Iran. [03:07] This came right after Trump told media [03:09] outlets in Georgia, "Just wait till you [03:11] see what we do to Iran." [03:14] Israel for their part is taking all of [03:16] this very seriously. Bibi issued a [03:18] statement where he said that the regime [03:20] in Iran is so fanatical, "It will [03:22] continue its nuclear ambitions and [03:25] attempt to rebuild its proxy axis as [03:27] long as it lives." Then he said quote, [03:30] "Therefore, the only way to prevent this [03:32] is to topple this regime. The [03:33] elimination of Hezbollah will come in [03:36] parallel." He also released this [03:39] campaign ad just this morning. [03:53] >> Israel will not go gently into that good [03:56] night. We will never rage [03:58] against the dying of the light because [04:01] the torch of Israel will forever shine [04:05] bright. [04:10] The people of Israel live. [04:21] >> We'll get into a lot more on this in a [04:23] second, but first this is our Route 60 [04:26] Tumbler and it's becoming one of our [04:27] team's favorite things in the store. 20 [04:30] oz vacuum sealed keeps your coffee hot [04:33] for 10 hours or your iced tea cold for [04:35] 18. It has a spill proof lid and it fits [04:37] right into your car's [04:39] >> [music] [04:39] >> cup holder. The Route 60 Biblical [04:41] Highway logo is inspired by the iconic [04:43] Route 66 design, but with a whole lot [04:46] more history. This is the actual road [04:48] that's connected Israel's heartland [04:50] since the days of [music] Abraham. This [04:52] Tumbler is normally $30, but right now [04:54] it's 25% off and once it's gone, it's [04:57] gone.

So, it's really interesting that [05:08] BB is specifically talking about regime [05:10] change again in Iran and talking about [05:13] fully eliminating Hezbollah. I say [05:16] interesting because Israel's Defense [05:17] Minister Israel Katz just presented a [05:19] new security doctrine for Southern [05:22] Lebanon making it clear that the IDF [05:24] will not be withdrawing from the [05:26] security zone until Hezbollah is [05:28] completely disarmed. He also said that [05:31] quote if Hezbollah joins Iran in an [05:33] attack on Israel, it will be dealt a [05:35] heavy blow and lose additional territory [05:38] in Southern Lebanon in the areas of [05:40] Nabatieh and Litani which will become a [05:42] part of a permanent Israeli security [05:44] zone. The IDF is prepared to launch an [05:48] invasion. There are also unconfirmed [05:50] reports this morning that satellites are [05:52] showing that Israel is rapidly building [05:54] a forward air base deep in Druze Syrian [05:57] territory. Like I said, the reports are [05:59] unconfirmed and even if it is true, we [06:01] don't know what the exact purpose of the [06:03] base would be, but it's interesting [06:05] nonetheless. So, we don't know exactly [06:07] what the Pentagon and the IDF have been [06:09] planning for Iran in the region, but we [06:12] do know that whatever it is, Pete [06:13] Hegseth was willing to fly all the way [06:15] to Israel to discuss it in person with [06:19] Bibi. Also, the US is moving the USS [06:22] Theodore Roosevelt strike group into the [06:24] region, making this the third aircraft [06:26] carrier to be stationed in the Middle [06:28] East. There are also rumors that the US [06:31] may be planning one final strike against [06:34] Iran, a massive blow against the regime [06:37] in coordination with Israel. The rumors [06:39] say they would inflict as much damage as [06:41] possible, leave Iran's military [06:43] installations and nuclear sites as [06:44] smoking wreckage, then pull out of the [06:48] Middle East. This actually could be a [06:50] really smart move for the Trump [06:52] administration. The appearance that the [06:54] war between Iran and the US is dragging [06:56] on indefinitely has not been popular [06:58] with American voters. Most of us in [07:01] America, you know, we enjoy a clean win. [07:03] We drop the bombs, we accomplish the [07:05] objective, and then we go home. [07:08] Unfortunately, wars rarely turn out that [07:10] way. Conflicts quickly turn into [07:12] stagnation. And Trump knows this. He's [07:15] long been a critic of the forever wars [07:17] that America has been involved in over [07:18] the past couple of decades. And even [07:21] though the US has accomplished a lot of [07:22] good by the action we've taken against [07:24] Iran, now may be the time, right before [07:26] midterm elections, to finally finish [07:29] this thing up. There's no way to [07:31] completely do it right. Toppling the [07:33] regime and rebuilding the country the [07:34] way we'd like could take decades, [07:36] something the American people don't have [07:38] the stomach for currently. But, we could [07:40] accomplish a few more major objectives, [07:43] hurt the Iranian military machine so [07:44] hard it will take them years to recover, [07:46] then ride off into the sunset to let [07:48] Israel and the Arab countries pick up [07:50] the pieces for now. And the Israeli [07:52] public are much more willing to foot the [07:54] bill for a longer-term continued effort [07:57] to hamstring Iran than the American [07:59] people are currently, for better or [08:01] worse. Obviously, this is speculation [08:03] what Trump and the Pentagon and the [08:05] Israelis decide to do in the end, only [08:07] they know. But, something is in the [08:09] works and whatever it is, you can bet [08:10] your bottom dollar that both the [08:12] American and Israeli leaders are keeping [08:15] both eyes firmly fixed on the polls with [08:17] every action that they take.
