  • Without ceasing for american and israeli military forces.
  • 00:01:08.091 --> 00:01:12.695
  • We truly serve a prayer, hearing and a prayer answering god.
  • 00:01:12.695 --> 00:01:17.233

  • I also want to walk you
  • 00:01:23.773 --> 00:01:25.375
  • Through what i'm calling the miracle in the mountains.
  • 00:01:25.375 --> 00:01:28.411
  • The inside story of the truly miraculous rescue
  • 00:01:28.411 --> 00:01:32.315
  • Of two american airmen shot down deep behind enemy lines.
  • 00:01:32.315 --> 00:01:37.320
  • One downed airman evaded capture for more than a day,
  • 00:01:37.320 --> 00:01:40.823
  • Scaling rugged ridges well hunted by the enemy.
  • 00:01:40.823 --> 00:01:44.861
  • When he was finally able to activate his emergency
  • 00:01:44.861 --> 00:01:47.997
  • Transponder.
  • 00:01:47.997 --> 00:01:49.599
  • His first message was simple, and it was powerful.
  • 00:01:49.599 --> 00:01:53.469
  • He sent a message. god is good.
  • 00:01:54.103 --> 00:01:57.473
  • In that moment of isolation and danger.
  • 00:01:58.274 --> 00:02:00.443
  • His faith and fighting spirit shone through.
  • 00:02:00.443 --> 00:02:04.013
  • You see, shot down on a friday, good
  • 00:02:04.013 --> 00:02:07.050
  • Friday, hidden in a cave,
  • 00:02:07.050 --> 00:02:10.420
  • A crevice all of saturday
  • 00:02:10.420 --> 00:02:13.823
  • And rescued on sunday.
  • 00:02:13.823 --> 00:02:17.160
  • Flown out of iran as the sun was rising
  • 00:02:17.160 --> 00:02:19.762
  • On easter sunday.
  • 00:02:19.762 --> 00:02:22.765
  • A pilot reborn
  • 00:02:22.765 --> 00:02:24.701
  • All home and accounted for a nation rejoicing.
  • 00:02:24.701 --> 00:02:28.905
  • God is good.
  • 00:02:29.239 --> 00:02:31.207
  • Friday, april 3rd an american f-15 e strike eagle
  • 00:02:31.207 --> 00:02:35.912
  • Fighter jet is bombing military targets over southwestern iran.
  • 00:02:35.912 --> 00:02:40.083
  • Suddenly, alarms start sounding in the cockpit,
  • 00:02:40.083 --> 00:02:43.319
  • Indicating that iranian surface to air missiles
  • 00:02:44.254 --> 00:02:46.689
  • Have been fired at them from an unknown location.
  • 00:02:46.689 --> 00:02:49.993
  • The pilot and his weapons systems officer,
  • 00:02:49.993 --> 00:02:52.929
  • Known as a wso, immediately take evasive action.
  • 00:02:52.929 --> 00:02:56.532
  • But it's too late.
  • 00:02:56.532 --> 00:02:57.700
  • The missile clips their fighter jet,
  • 00:02:57.700 --> 00:02:59.736
  • And they start to go down, with only moments to react
  • 00:02:59.736 --> 00:03:03.273
  • Before their jet crashes into the desert floor.
  • 00:03:03.273 --> 00:03:06.542
  • They alert airborne control that they are going down
  • 00:03:06.542 --> 00:03:09.712
  • And both men eject.
  • 00:03:09.712 --> 00:03:11.981
  • It's the first american fighter jet to be shot down by enemy
  • 00:03:11.981 --> 00:03:15.918
  • Fire in more than 20 years, and the first in operation
  • 00:03:15.918 --> 00:03:19.689
  • Epic fury after more than 13,000 sorties to bomb
  • 00:03:19.689 --> 00:03:23.960
  • Iranian nuclear missile and other military targets.
  • 00:03:23.960 --> 00:03:28.464
  • And now a winner takes all race against time begins
  • 00:03:28.464 --> 00:03:33.536
  • Seeing the f-15 crash and explode
  • 00:03:33.536 --> 00:03:36.439
  • And seeing the massive plume of thick, black,
  • 00:03:36.439 --> 00:03:39.509
  • Acrid smoke pouring out from the wreckage.
  • 00:03:39.509 --> 00:03:42.412
  • Finding the crash site will not be hard.
  • 00:03:42.412 --> 00:03:45.315
  • The iranian personnel manning the anti-aircraft battery
  • 00:03:45.315 --> 00:03:48.685
  • Instantly radios to the closest
  • 00:03:48.685 --> 00:03:50.920
  • Iranian revolutionary guard corps base.
  • 00:03:50.920 --> 00:03:53.623
  • Irgc ground forces are alerted, mobilized
  • 00:03:53.623 --> 00:03:57.160
  • And immediately begin racing for the crash site.
  • 00:03:57.160 --> 00:04:00.563
  • What's more, iranian state controlled tv
  • 00:04:00.563 --> 00:04:04.133
  • Broadcast the government's offer to pay a bounty
  • 00:04:04.133 --> 00:04:08.304
  • Of $60,000 u.s., equivalent
  • 00:04:08.304 --> 00:04:12.175
  • To anyone who locates the downed enemy pilots.
  • 00:04:12.175 --> 00:04:16.379
  • A massive and frantic manhunt begins simultaneously.
  • 00:04:16.379 --> 00:04:21.084
  • U.s. commanders realize the magnitude of the situation.
  • 00:04:21.084 --> 00:04:24.921
  • They know that if they don't move fast to successfully rescue
  • 00:04:24.921 --> 00:04:28.958
  • These two american officers, the men will fall into the
  • 00:04:28.958 --> 00:04:32.762
  • Hands of the enemy. they will be captured.
  • 00:04:32.762 --> 00:04:34.697
  • They will be brutally tortured
  • 00:04:34.697 --> 00:04:36.599
  • And paraded in front of tv cameras for the world to see.
  • 00:04:36.599 --> 00:04:40.703
  • What's left of the shattered and shellshocked iranian regime
  • 00:04:40.703 --> 00:04:44.073
  • Will be handed a massive propaganda coup.
  • 00:04:44.073 --> 00:04:48.444
  • They can crow at that point that allah is on their side,
  • 00:04:48.444 --> 00:04:51.948
  • And they can declare that america,
  • 00:04:51.948 --> 00:04:53.616
  • The great satan, is not only being defeated,
  • 00:04:53.616 --> 00:04:56.386
  • But they're being humiliated.
  • 00:04:56.386 --> 00:04:57.653
  • Now, it wouldn't be true
  • 00:04:57.653 --> 00:04:59.422
  • The defeat part, but the humiliation would be real.
  • 00:04:59.422 --> 00:05:02.325
  • And then they could either hold the two american american
  • 00:05:02.325 --> 00:05:05.695
  • Airmen hostage as a bargaining chip,
  • 00:05:05.695 --> 00:05:08.431
  • Or they could execute them on live worldwide television.
  • 00:05:08.431 --> 00:05:13.002
  • President trump is briefed by defense secretary
  • 00:05:13.002 --> 00:05:15.705
  • Pete hegseth and the chairman of the joint chiefs.
  • 00:05:15.705 --> 00:05:18.841
  • With stakes that could hardly be higher.
  • 00:05:18.841 --> 00:05:21.511
  • Trump immediately orders u.s.
  • 00:05:21.511 --> 00:05:23.513
  • Commanders to quickly mount
  • 00:05:23.513 --> 00:05:25.481
  • What we now know was one of the most complicated military
  • 00:05:25.481 --> 00:05:29.752
  • Search and rescue operations in american military history.
  • 00:05:29.752 --> 00:05:34.424
  • They immediately dispatched predator drones
  • 00:05:34.424 --> 00:05:37.693
  • To get to the crash site quickly and provide real time
  • 00:05:37.693 --> 00:05:41.431
  • Images of what's happening there.
  • 00:05:41.431 --> 00:05:43.466
  • They try to locate the downed
  • 00:05:43.466 --> 00:05:44.934
  • Crew and see how close iranian ground forces are,
  • 00:05:44.934 --> 00:05:49.105
  • And how quickly those irgc forces will get to the site.
  • 00:05:49.105 --> 00:05:54.377
  • At the same time, they scramble a-10 thunderbolt
  • 00:05:54.377 --> 00:05:58.681
  • Jets known as the warthogs and apache helicopters
  • 00:05:58.681 --> 00:06:02.852
  • To attack any and all approaching irgc forces.
  • 00:06:02.852 --> 00:06:06.956
  • And they also
  • 00:06:06.956 --> 00:06:08.090
  • Dispatch fighter jets to provide essential air cover.
  • 00:06:08.090 --> 00:06:11.727
  • Fairly quickly, the f-15 pilot makes radio contact
  • 00:06:11.727 --> 00:06:16.065
  • With his commanders.
  • 00:06:16.065 --> 00:06:17.266
  • He's alive. he's healthy.
  • 00:06:17.266 --> 00:06:19.268
  • And for the moment at least, he's safe.
  • 00:06:19.268 --> 00:06:21.871
  • Using encrypted communications, he sends his location.
  • 00:06:21.871 --> 00:06:25.808
  • And by god's amazing grace
  • 00:06:25.808 --> 00:06:27.610
  • And the bravery of our special forces, he is quickly rescued.
  • 00:06:27.610 --> 00:06:31.347
  • But there's a problem.
  • 00:06:31.347 --> 00:06:32.815
  • American commanders have not yet heard from the weapons
  • 00:06:32.815 --> 00:06:35.785
  • Systems officer known as the wizo.
  • 00:06:35.785 --> 00:06:38.788
  • Is he alive or dead?
  • 00:06:38.788 --> 00:06:40.556
  • Healthy or wounded.
  • 00:06:40.556 --> 00:06:42.191
  • Safe or captured?
  • 00:06:42.191 --> 00:06:44.427
  • One thing's clear.
  • 00:06:44.427 --> 00:06:45.661
  • Even if the wizo has successfully ejected
  • 00:06:45.661 --> 00:06:48.698
  • From the f-15, and it wasn't known at that point yet.
  • 00:06:48.698 --> 00:06:52.468
  • And even if his parachute has worked,
  • 00:06:52.468 --> 00:06:55.171
  • He has not landed anywhere near his pilot.
  • 00:06:55.171 --> 00:06:59.108
  • The two men have not landed together.
  • 00:06:59.108 --> 00:07:01.377
  • There is no sign of the wizo anywhere.
  • 00:07:01.377 --> 00:07:04.847
  • Immediately, israel offers to help.
  • 00:07:05.581 --> 00:07:07.984
  • Israeli intelligence works closely with the americans
  • 00:07:07.984 --> 00:07:10.920
  • To help locate the downed airman.
  • 00:07:10.920 --> 00:07:13.422
  • Prime minister benjamin netanyahu
  • 00:07:13.422 --> 00:07:14.991
  • And the idf chief of staff also immediately
  • 00:07:14.991 --> 00:07:17.293
  • Suspend all israeli bombing in that sector of iran,
  • 00:07:17.293 --> 00:07:21.531
  • So as not to complicate or confuse or
  • 00:07:21.531 --> 00:07:24.300
  • Get in the way of the american rescue efforts.
  • 00:07:24.300 --> 00:07:27.503
  • The good news unbeknownst to u.s.
  • 00:07:27.503 --> 00:07:29.906
  • Commanders at that moment,
  • 00:07:29.906 --> 00:07:31.741
  • The wso is alive, but he's wounded.
  • 00:07:31.741 --> 00:07:34.911
  • The challenge?
  • 00:07:35.244 --> 00:07:36.279
  • He's armed only with a nine millimeter sidearm.
  • 00:07:36.279 --> 00:07:39.882
  • He has a very limited supply of food and water,
  • 00:07:39.882 --> 00:07:42.752
  • And he is deep, deep inside enemy territory.
  • 00:07:42.752 --> 00:07:47.423
  • What's more, he knows full well that he's a hunted
  • 00:07:47.423 --> 00:07:50.960
  • Man, and time is not on his side immediately.
  • 00:07:50.960 --> 00:07:55.665
  • His sere training, his survival, evasion,
  • 00:07:55.665 --> 00:07:59.068
  • Resistance, escape training kicks in.
  • 00:07:59.068 --> 00:08:02.605
  • And that's why he doesn't immediately
  • 00:08:02.605 --> 00:08:04.473
  • Activate his location beacon.
  • 00:08:04.473 --> 00:08:07.109
  • Yes, that would have told american forces
  • 00:08:07.109 --> 00:08:09.278
  • Exactly where he is.
  • 00:08:09.278 --> 00:08:11.147
  • But it's signal.
  • 00:08:11.147 --> 00:08:12.481
  • The beacon signal
  • 00:08:12.481 --> 00:08:13.549
  • Could also have been intercepted by iranian forces.
  • 00:08:13.549 --> 00:08:16.586
  • And guide them right to him.
  • 00:08:16.586 --> 00:08:19.055
  • So instead, he quickly wraps up and hides
  • 00:08:19.055 --> 00:08:22.458
  • His parachute sheds and hides his flight gear and starts
  • 00:08:22.458 --> 00:08:26.362
  • Heading for a mountain range nearby.
  • 00:08:26.362 --> 00:08:29.665
  • Now, we believe that his injury was primarily
  • 00:08:29.665 --> 00:08:32.501
  • That he had a broken or severely sprained ankle.
  • 00:08:32.501 --> 00:08:35.771
  • Okay,
  • 00:08:36.005 --> 00:08:37.206
  • But he's determined to get as far away from where he is,
  • 00:08:37.206 --> 00:08:40.042
  • Where he's landed as humanly possible, as fast as possible.
  • 00:08:40.042 --> 00:08:43.613
  • He's got to gain as much altitude as he can
  • 00:08:43.613 --> 00:08:46.716
  • Find, cover, and then and only then activate his location
  • 00:08:46.716 --> 00:08:51.420
  • Beacon and get the good guys there as fast as possible.
  • 00:08:51.420 --> 00:08:55.358
  • But as you're about to see, it is not going to be easy.
  • 00:08:55.358 --> 00:08:59.428
  • Coming up next on the rosenberg report,
  • 00:09:00.196 --> 00:09:02.231
  • How close did iranian military forces come to finding,
  • 00:09:02.231 --> 00:09:05.735
  • Capturing and possibly killing an american airman
  • 00:09:05.735 --> 00:09:08.604
  • Shot down deep behind enemy lines?
  • 00:09:08.604 --> 00:09:11.407
  • What took american special forces so long?
  • 00:09:11.407 --> 00:09:14.210
  • Some 36 hours to come to the rescue.
  • 00:09:14.210 --> 00:09:17.213
  • And how did multiple
  • 00:09:17.213 --> 00:09:18.447
  • American planes and helicopters get shot up in the process?
  • 00:09:18.447 --> 00:09:22.318
  • What does all this mean for the fate of operation epic fury?
  • 00:09:22.318 --> 00:09:26.389
  • How close are we to victory and the end of hostilities?
  • 00:09:26.389 --> 00:09:29.725
  • And what else could go wrong?
  • 00:09:29.725 --> 00:09:31.193
  • Find out when the rosenberg report continues on tbn
  • 00:09:31.193 --> 00:09:35.064
  • Right after this break.
  • 00:09:35.064 --> 00:09:38.001
  • Right after this break.
  • 00:09:38.001 --> 00:09:41.237
  • We're here today to celebrate the success of one
  • 00:09:42.204 --> 00:09:44.674
  • Of the largest, most complex, most harrowing combat searches.
  • 00:09:44.674 --> 00:09:50.046
  • I guess you would call it a search and rescue mission
  • 00:09:50.046 --> 00:09:53.282
  • Ever attempted by the military.
  • 00:09:53.282 --> 00:09:55.551
  • Welcome back to the rosenberg report,
  • 00:09:55.551 --> 00:09:57.253
  • As i continue to share with you the inside story
  • 00:09:57.253 --> 00:10:00.222
  • Of the miracle in the mountains of iran.
  • 00:10:00.222 --> 00:10:02.992
  • And as we consider what it all means, where we're heading next,
  • 00:10:02.992 --> 00:10:06.696
  • And how you and i can and should be praying.
  • 00:10:06.696 --> 00:10:11.067
  • Saturday, april 4th.
  • 00:10:11.534 --> 00:10:13.135
  • President trump and a senior team are worried.
  • 00:10:13.135 --> 00:10:16.072
  • They understand all too well how disastrous it will be
  • 00:10:16.072 --> 00:10:20.242
  • If the iranians capture, torture and potentially kill
  • 00:10:20.242 --> 00:10:23.546
  • Their man.
  • 00:10:23.546 --> 00:10:24.647
  • Trump is closely monitoring the unfolding events,
  • 00:10:24.647 --> 00:10:27.983
  • But he maintains radio silence, not speaking publicly about
  • 00:10:27.983 --> 00:10:32.121
  • The situation or even confirming and a truth social account
  • 00:10:32.121 --> 00:10:36.358
  • For the successful rescue of the f-15 pilot back in iran.
  • 00:10:36.358 --> 00:10:41.397
  • The weapons systems officer is operating in the dead of night
  • 00:10:41.397 --> 00:10:44.834
  • And in rugged terrain.
  • 00:10:44.834 --> 00:10:46.302
  • He finally makes it to the base of the mountain range
  • 00:10:46.302 --> 00:10:49.538
  • And begins climbing.
  • 00:10:49.538 --> 00:10:50.873
  • Wounded and exhausted.
  • 00:10:50.873 --> 00:10:53.409
  • Over the course of the coming hours, dark and cold,
  • 00:10:53.409 --> 00:10:56.312
  • He manages to climb to the top of a 7000ft peak.
  • 00:10:56.312 --> 00:11:01.250
  • Sources indicate that he was briefly taken in by friendly
  • 00:11:01.250 --> 00:11:05.121
  • Iranian locals, who sheltered and fed him
  • 00:11:05.121 --> 00:11:08.624
  • Only then, only when he feels safe enough,
  • 00:11:08.624 --> 00:11:12.294
  • Does he turn on his locator
  • 00:11:12.294 --> 00:11:13.829
  • Beacon and send his commanders the briefest of message.
  • 00:11:13.829 --> 00:11:17.733
  • He is alive.
  • 00:11:17.733 --> 00:11:20.202
  • Electrified by confirmation that their man is still living.
  • 00:11:20.202 --> 00:11:23.472
  • Still on the move.
  • 00:11:23.472 --> 00:11:24.473
  • U.s. commanders also realize just how close
  • 00:11:24.473 --> 00:11:27.943
  • Irgc forces are to him.
  • 00:11:27.943 --> 00:11:31.013
  • They immediately order american military aircraft
  • 00:11:31.013 --> 00:11:34.550
  • To start bombing all the roads to the wso's location
  • 00:11:34.550 --> 00:11:38.354
  • To make it difficult,
  • 00:11:38.354 --> 00:11:39.555
  • If not impossible, for vehicles to reach him.
  • 00:11:39.555 --> 00:11:42.792
  • They also order u.s.
  • 00:11:42.792 --> 00:11:44.160
  • Fighter pilots to open fire on irgc forces that are nearby.
  • 00:11:44.160 --> 00:11:49.765
  • Iranian forces returned fire feverishly, trying to bring down
  • 00:11:49.765 --> 00:11:53.903
  • More american planes, helicopters and drones.
  • 00:11:53.903 --> 00:11:57.306
  • And they score an american a-10.
  • 00:11:57.306 --> 00:12:00.843
  • It's hit and badly disabled.
  • 00:12:00.843 --> 00:12:03.145
  • By god's grace, it is able to turn around,
  • 00:12:03.145 --> 00:12:06.015
  • Get out of iranian airspace and cross the gulf.
  • 00:12:06.015 --> 00:12:08.951
  • But before it can land safely, it crashes into kuwaiti
  • 00:12:08.951 --> 00:12:13.522
  • Territory just after its pilot successfully ejects.
  • 00:12:13.522 --> 00:12:18.127
  • Now, two american jets have been shot down
  • 00:12:18.127 --> 00:12:21.564
  • Within hours of each other.
  • 00:12:21.564 --> 00:12:23.098
  • If the iranians
  • 00:12:23.098 --> 00:12:24.800
  • Are able to capture the weapons systems officer,
  • 00:12:24.800 --> 00:12:27.903
  • They will achieve a propaganda coup of a enormous,
  • 00:12:27.903 --> 00:12:31.841
  • Devastating and humiliating proportions.
  • 00:12:31.841 --> 00:12:35.044
  • So u.s.
  • 00:12:35.044 --> 00:12:36.011
  • Special forces now
  • 00:12:36.011 --> 00:12:37.179
  • Pressed forward, determined to reach their man first.
  • 00:12:37.179 --> 00:12:41.283
  • At this point, according to a senior u.s.
  • 00:12:41.283 --> 00:12:43.519
  • Official who spoke to fox news, quote,
  • 00:12:43.519 --> 00:13:47.850
  • But challenges continue to mount. two.
  • 00:13:48.617 --> 00:13:52.354
  • Two u.s.
  • 00:13:52.354 --> 00:13:53.856
  • Rescue helicopters are hit by ground fire.
  • 00:13:53.856 --> 00:13:56.759
  • Their crews are wounded.
  • 00:13:56.759 --> 00:13:57.993
  • But again, by god's amazing grace, they are able to get out
  • 00:13:57.993 --> 00:14:01.597
  • Of iranian airspace and return to their base without crashing.
  • 00:14:01.597 --> 00:14:05.467
  • Praise god!
  • 00:14:05.467 --> 00:14:06.802
  • Now you have to realize that by this point, almost 30 hours
  • 00:14:06.802 --> 00:14:10.739
  • Have elapsed since the f-15 was first shot down.
  • 00:14:10.739 --> 00:14:14.877
  • The firefights have been intense and american forces
  • 00:14:14.877 --> 00:14:17.813
  • Still have not reached or recovered their man.
  • 00:14:17.813 --> 00:14:21.283
  • Irgc fire, combined with iranian drone strikes
  • 00:14:21.283 --> 00:14:25.387
  • Have severely complicate the american rescue mission,
  • 00:14:25.387 --> 00:14:29.558
  • And they've come close without realizing it,
  • 00:14:29.558 --> 00:14:31.694
  • To actually killing the american crew member.
  • 00:14:31.694 --> 00:14:34.930
  • Sunday, april 5th.
  • 00:14:34.930 --> 00:14:36.598
  • In the dark of night, in the wee hours of easter
  • 00:14:36.598 --> 00:14:39.735
  • Sunday morning, in the rugged, barren and unforgiving
  • 00:14:39.735 --> 00:14:43.539
  • Southwestern mountainous regions of iran, two u.s.
  • 00:14:43.539 --> 00:14:47.843
  • Air force jet planes, each carrying a rescue operators
  • 00:14:47.843 --> 00:14:52.047
  • Known as parrot jumpers pjs find
  • 00:14:52.047 --> 00:14:55.150
  • A spot to land the challenge.
  • 00:14:55.150 --> 00:14:58.287
  • It's not a location close to the wso's location,
  • 00:14:58.287 --> 00:15:01.390
  • But it's as close as they can get.
  • 00:15:01.390 --> 00:15:03.425
  • The pjs land and set up a secure perimeter.
  • 00:15:03.425 --> 00:15:07.129
  • But the wizard has to make an incredibly risky trek
  • 00:15:07.129 --> 00:15:10.766
  • To get to them.
  • 00:15:10.766 --> 00:15:12.468
  • Exhausted now, after
  • 00:15:12.935 --> 00:15:14.436
  • Almost 36 hours on the move,
  • 00:15:14.436 --> 00:15:17.639
  • The weapon systems officer finally reaches his rescuers.
  • 00:15:17.639 --> 00:15:22.344
  • He's in need of immediate medical attention.
  • 00:15:22.344 --> 00:15:25.381
  • But now there's a new problem.
  • 00:15:25.381 --> 00:15:27.983
  • Somehow, the two special forces planes
  • 00:15:27.983 --> 00:15:31.153
  • Get stuck on the makeshift runway somehow.
  • 00:15:31.153 --> 00:15:35.024
  • How did this happen?
  • 00:15:35.024 --> 00:15:36.225
  • That's still not clear, but these planes perhaps
  • 00:15:36.225 --> 00:15:38.660
  • Were too heavy for the terrain they're on, and they get stuck.
  • 00:15:38.660 --> 00:15:42.531
  • The only thing that was clear at that moment.
  • 00:15:42.531 --> 00:15:45.167
  • Neither plane can take off now, as other american
  • 00:15:45.167 --> 00:15:49.505
  • Military assets have to be sent to extract the crew member
  • 00:15:49.505 --> 00:15:52.908
  • And its rescuers.
  • 00:15:52.908 --> 00:15:54.376
  • The two special the two specialized planes
  • 00:15:54.376 --> 00:15:57.479
  • Known as mc 130 js,
  • 00:15:57.479 --> 00:16:00.549
  • Each costing an estimated $100 million.
  • 00:16:00.549 --> 00:16:03.952
  • Each of them now have to be blown up so that they
  • 00:16:03.952 --> 00:16:07.589
  • So that neither they
  • 00:16:07.589 --> 00:16:08.824
  • Nor their highly classified gear will fall into enemy hands.
  • 00:16:08.824 --> 00:16:13.529
  • Back in washington, president trump and his most trusted
  • 00:16:13.529 --> 00:16:16.365
  • Advisors are in the situation room.
  • 00:16:16.365 --> 00:16:19.234
  • They're on pins and needles, as you can imagine.
  • 00:16:18.167 --> 00:16:20.636
  • Praying for success and trying to imagine the disaster.
  • 00:16:20.636 --> 00:16:24.306
  • If somehow the americans can't get these guys out
  • 00:16:24.306 --> 00:16:27.743
  • And the iranians
  • 00:16:27.743 --> 00:16:29.178
  • Proved successful in some way, shape or form.
  • 00:16:29.178 --> 00:16:31.680
  • As the clock
  • 00:16:31.680 --> 00:16:32.848
  • Ticked by, trump and his team are waiting for updates,
  • 00:16:32.848 --> 00:16:36.218
  • And rumors are starting to leak, particularly on social media,
  • 00:16:36.218 --> 00:16:39.922
  • That a highly complicated
  • 00:16:39.922 --> 00:16:41.490
  • And highly risky rescue operation is underway.
  • 00:16:41.490 --> 00:16:45.527
  • That's a problem.
  • 00:16:45.527 --> 00:16:46.895
  • Irresponsible journalists, analysts, commentators
  • 00:16:46.895 --> 00:16:49.798
  • Are saying more than they should.
  • 00:16:49.798 --> 00:16:51.733
  • Leaks are coming out of the pentagon,
  • 00:16:51.733 --> 00:16:53.469
  • Possibly the cia and elsewhere,
  • 00:16:53.469 --> 00:16:55.137
  • Also saying more than they should.
  • 00:16:55.137 --> 00:16:57.439
  • But there's nothing
  • 00:16:57.439 --> 00:16:58.574
  • That the commander in chief and his senior team
  • 00:16:58.574 --> 00:17:00.909
  • At the white house
  • 00:17:00.909 --> 00:17:01.810
  • Or the pentagon can do but pray and wait.
  • 00:17:01.810 --> 00:17:04.580
  • Finally, at 12:09 a.m., easter sunday morning in washington.
  • 00:17:04.580 --> 00:17:09.585
  • Well, after 9 a.m.
  • 00:17:09.585 --> 00:17:11.320
  • In iran, president trump posed these
  • 00:17:11.320 --> 00:17:14.289
  • Wonderful words on his truth social account.
  • 00:17:14.289 --> 00:17:17.693
  • We got him.
  • 00:17:17.693 --> 00:17:19.061
  • The relief
  • 00:17:19.061 --> 00:17:20.262
  • Is palpable in his words, and so is his immense admiration
  • 00:17:20.262 --> 00:17:23.499
  • For the wizo and for all u.s.
  • 00:17:23.499 --> 00:17:25.534
  • Forces involved
  • 00:17:25.534 --> 00:17:26.668
  • In this incredibly, miraculously successful operation.
  • 00:17:26.668 --> 00:17:31.006
  • Coming up next on the rosenberg report,
  • 00:17:31.006 --> 00:17:33.208
  • What does all this mean for the fate of operation epic fury?
  • 00:17:33.208 --> 00:17:37.379
  • How close are we to victory and the end of hostilities?
  • 00:17:37.379 --> 00:17:41.116
  • What else could go wrong?
  • 00:17:41.116 --> 00:17:42.985
  • And how should you and i be praying?
  • 00:17:42.985 --> 00:17:45.187
  • Find out when the rosenberg report continues on tbn
  • 00:17:45.187 --> 00:17:49.057
  • Right after this break.
  • 00:17:49.057 --> 00:17:52.009
  • Right after this break.
  • 00:17:52.009 --> 00:17:55.074
  • Welcome back to the rosenberg report.
  • 00:17:55.875 --> 00:17:57.644
  • It has been a stunning week.
  • 00:17:57.644 --> 00:18:00.079
  • A week of breathtaking miracles.
  • 00:18:00.079 --> 00:18:02.749
  • And i want to talk about what it all means.
  • 00:18:02.749 --> 00:18:04.918
  • Look, in the end, the question is, does does
  • 00:18:04.918 --> 00:18:07.887
  • America win this thing?
  • 00:18:07.887 --> 00:18:09.122
  • If america and israel wins this, then i think most americans
  • 00:18:09.122 --> 00:18:12.892
  • Will be very satisfied.
  • 00:18:12.892 --> 00:18:13.993
  • Republicans definitely.
  • 00:18:13.993 --> 00:18:15.962
  • And independents will think, okay, well,
  • 00:18:15.962 --> 00:18:18.031
  • The president successfully destroyed
  • 00:18:18.031 --> 00:18:20.166
  • Iran's ability to build nuclear weapons
  • 00:18:20.166 --> 00:18:22.802
  • And the ballistic missiles to fire them at america,
  • 00:18:22.802 --> 00:18:25.939
  • At our allies and our our interests in the region.
  • 00:18:25.939 --> 00:18:29.943
  • And that's good.
  • 00:18:29.943 --> 00:18:31.878
  • If things can get settled down,
  • 00:18:31.878 --> 00:18:34.414
  • Then oil prices will start to go down.
  • 00:18:34.414 --> 00:18:37.517
  • And the economy is already roaring and economy.
  • 00:18:37.517 --> 00:18:40.687
  • And even though
  • 00:18:40.687 --> 00:18:41.254
  • Gas prices are up
  • 00:18:41.254 --> 00:18:42.522
  • A little bit compared to what they were under president biden
  • 00:18:42.522 --> 00:18:45.391
  • Or even when trump took office again,
  • 00:18:45.391 --> 00:18:48.761
  • We're not even close to that.
  • 00:18:48.761 --> 00:18:49.829
  • So overall, if things can be, wrapped up
  • 00:18:49.829 --> 00:18:53.666
  • And things are successful, i think americans,
  • 00:18:53.666 --> 00:18:57.036
  • At least republicans, independents
  • 00:18:57.036 --> 00:18:58.771
  • Will strongly support what the president has done.
  • 00:18:58.771 --> 00:19:02.108
  • As long as it's clear that there's a clear victory
  • 00:19:02.108 --> 00:19:05.311
  • And, in the sense that iran is devastated enough,
  • 00:19:05.311 --> 00:19:09.215
  • The regime and its offensive military, military assets
  • 00:19:09.215 --> 00:19:12.852
  • That they're destroyed enough
  • 00:19:12.852 --> 00:19:14.654
  • That they're not going to be
  • 00:19:14.654 --> 00:19:15.588
  • A problem for the foreseeable future.
  • 00:19:15.588 --> 00:19:17.657
  • I mean, it would be great if a moderate could,
  • 00:19:17.657 --> 00:19:20.360
  • Could take over
  • 00:19:20.360 --> 00:19:21.561
  • Someone like reza pahlavi, the former crown prince of iran.
  • 00:19:21.561 --> 00:19:24.631
  • That would be wonderful.
  • 00:19:24.631 --> 00:19:25.932
  • A true and full regime change from evil,
  • 00:19:25.932 --> 00:19:29.435
  • To moderate, peaceful, pro-american, pro-western.
  • 00:19:29.435 --> 00:19:31.904
  • That would be great. not necessary for this.
  • 00:19:31.904 --> 00:19:35.308
  • That's what.
  • 00:19:35.642 --> 00:19:36.609
  • It's what i want. it's what i'm praying for.
  • 00:19:36.609 --> 00:19:37.944
  • A true and decisive victory and the total,
  • 00:19:37.944 --> 00:19:41.014
  • Shattering and vanquish.
  • 00:19:41.014 --> 00:19:44.517
  • Being, the iranian regime being vanquished.
  • 00:19:44.517 --> 00:19:46.586
  • But but a a shattered and smoldering
  • 00:19:46.586 --> 00:19:50.356
  • And shell shocked iranian regime
  • 00:19:50.356 --> 00:19:53.126
  • Without the ayatollah khomeini, without his top
  • 00:19:53.126 --> 00:19:55.561
  • 100 most evil people, that will still be a great success.
  • 00:19:55.561 --> 00:19:59.332
  • We need to keep praying because yes, more things can go wrong.
  • 00:19:59.332 --> 00:20:02.702
  • Let's realize that we've got to keep praying.
  • 00:20:02.702 --> 00:20:05.271
  • Ultimately, i believe this is a massive spiritual battle.
  • 00:20:05.271 --> 00:20:08.341
  • The iranian regime is wicked. it is satanic.
  • 00:20:08.341 --> 00:20:11.110
  • It is driven by the devil, and it has not been challenged
  • 00:20:11.110 --> 00:20:15.181
  • Effectively in 47 years.
  • 00:20:15.181 --> 00:20:17.283
  • This is the first time,
  • 00:20:17.283 --> 00:20:18.751
  • And i give tremendous credit to president trump
  • 00:20:18.751 --> 00:20:21.454
  • And prime minister netanyahu and u.s.
  • 00:20:21.454 --> 00:20:23.222
  • And israeli forces for taking on this satanic threat,
  • 00:20:23.222 --> 00:20:27.760
  • And this very serious,
  • 00:20:27.760 --> 00:20:30.530
  • Imminent and lethal, military threat from iran.
  • 00:20:30.530 --> 00:20:33.933
  • They've been at war with us for 47 years,
  • 00:20:33.933 --> 00:20:36.102
  • And no one has dealt with them until now.
  • 00:20:36.102 --> 00:20:38.304
  • Let's pray for a clear, convincing, decisive victory.
  • 00:20:38.304 --> 00:20:42.075
  • And let's pray that it wraps up soon. okay.
  • 00:20:42.075 --> 00:20:44.277
  • We don't want this to be world war one or world
  • 00:20:44.277 --> 00:20:46.279
  • War two going on forever or for years.
  • 00:20:46.279 --> 00:20:48.348
  • We don't we certainly don't want it to be iraq. right.
  • 00:20:48.348 --> 00:20:50.550
  • So we've got to pray, that it can be wrapped up.
  • 00:20:50.550 --> 00:20:54.821
  • Well, that the strait of hormuz can be opened
  • 00:20:54.821 --> 00:20:58.391
  • And safe for international oil shipping and other shipping.
  • 00:20:58.391 --> 00:21:02.161
  • We need to pray that either the,
  • 00:21:02.161 --> 00:21:04.964
  • 460kg of highly enriched uranium that could build
  • 00:21:04.964 --> 00:21:10.236
  • 11 nuclear bombs is either buried so securely
  • 00:21:10.236 --> 00:21:14.707
  • Under that mountain that no one can get to it, or that u.s.
  • 00:21:14.707 --> 00:21:18.578
  • Forces, have a plan to get that out.
  • 00:21:18.578 --> 00:21:21.514
  • So there are still some things to be accomplished. okay.
  • 00:21:21.514 --> 00:21:24.183
  • And of course, we still want to destroy,
  • 00:21:24.183 --> 00:21:27.086
  • Iran's ability to fire missiles and suicide drones.
  • 00:21:27.086 --> 00:21:30.790
  • At american citizens and american interests
  • 00:21:30.790 --> 00:21:34.193
  • And american allies,
  • 00:21:34.193 --> 00:21:35.228
  • Including here in israel and our arab allies.
  • 00:21:35.228 --> 00:21:38.064
  • Those are the challenges.
  • 00:21:38.064 --> 00:21:39.799
  • And this is what we need to be praying for.
  • 00:21:39.799 --> 00:21:41.300
  • And we certainly need to be praying
  • 00:21:41.300 --> 00:21:43.403
  • For the spiritual awakening and liberation of iran.
  • 00:21:43.403 --> 00:21:47.373
  • Lebanon remains a challenge.
  • 00:21:47.373 --> 00:21:48.908
  • We need to crush,
  • 00:21:48.908 --> 00:21:50.343
  • The hezbollah, threat once and for all as well.
  • 00:21:50.343 --> 00:21:53.479
  • So please keep praying and don't give up.
  • 00:21:53.479 --> 00:21:56.682
