Sekulow | Jay Sekulow - Intel Leak After Successful Mission | July 9, 2025

(empowering music)
00:00:00.932 --> 00:00:19.851
- well, you could have expected this to happen.
00:00:20.785 --> 00:00:23.221
Of course, the new york times, cnn,
00:00:23.221 --> 00:00:24.522
And all of your favorite sources are now saying,
00:00:24.522 --> 00:00:26.691
"you know that incredible military strike
00:00:26.691 --> 00:00:28.460
That our brave team was able to go in,
00:00:28.460 --> 00:00:30.829
Get it done, and get out
00:00:30.829 --> 00:00:32.797
Before even anyone knew it happened.
00:00:32.797 --> 00:00:35.300
Hmm, not good enough. not good enough."
00:00:35.300 --> 00:00:37.836
And of course, that reporting
00:00:37.836 --> 00:00:39.037
Came out of some leaked documents.
00:00:39.037 --> 00:00:41.539
And of course, we still are dealing with the fact
00:00:42.540 --> 00:00:43.875
That there are leaked documents.
00:00:43.875 --> 00:00:46.244
Leaking is still happening.
00:00:46.244 --> 00:00:47.812
But thankfully now, we have a group
00:00:47.812 --> 00:00:50.648
That is in there right now in the pentagon saying,
00:00:50.648 --> 00:00:53.685
"hey, if you're gonna be leaking
00:00:53.685 --> 00:00:55.787
These top high-end security, you know, details,
00:00:55.787 --> 00:00:59.991
Number one, it's treasonous."
00:00:59.991 --> 00:01:01.759
Again, those are their words, "it's treasonous.
00:01:01.759 --> 00:01:04.362
And also, we're gonna do an investigation.
00:01:04.362 --> 00:01:06.931
We're gonna figure out how you got this info,"
00:01:06.931 --> 00:01:09.601
Because really, who does it benefit?
00:01:09.601 --> 00:01:12.203
Who does it benefit to show this analysis?
00:01:12.203 --> 00:01:15.173
And the analysis, of course,
00:01:15.173 --> 00:01:16.474
They said was not necessarily 100%
00:01:16.474 --> 00:01:18.243
Wasn't necessarily accurate.
00:01:18.243 --> 00:01:19.511
They did say that it was leaked saying that,
00:01:19.511 --> 00:01:22.780
Yes, it pushed 'em back probably months.
00:01:22.780 --> 00:01:24.616
Maybe it didn't push them back years
00:01:24.616 --> 00:01:26.451
Or completely decimate these facilities.
00:01:26.451 --> 00:01:28.820
But it's also not anything
00:01:28.820 --> 00:01:30.188
That's been 100% proven by any means.
00:01:30.188 --> 00:01:32.290
But the only person,
00:01:32.290 --> 00:01:34.659
Or the only group that this emboldens
00:01:34.659 --> 00:01:37.428
Is the enemy at this point.
00:01:37.428 --> 00:01:39.564
- that's right, logan.
00:01:39.564 --> 00:01:40.398
We now have confirmation
00:01:40.398 --> 00:01:41.799
That the deep state isn't just alive and well,
00:01:41.799 --> 00:01:44.169
But it's playing politics with war, with our troops now.
00:01:44.169 --> 00:01:47.105
And so who does the deep state go to
00:01:47.105 --> 00:01:49.073
When they want to subvert the agenda of president trump
00:01:49.073 --> 00:01:52.777
Or even the successes of our military?
00:01:52.777 --> 00:01:56.181
They go to natasha bertrand,
00:01:56.181 --> 00:01:57.849
Who is cnn's deep state correspondent.
00:01:57.849 --> 00:02:00.318
Remember she is the one that got the exclusive
00:02:00.318 --> 00:02:03.421
About the 51 former intelligence individuals
00:02:03.421 --> 00:02:06.758
That were coming out saying,
00:02:06.758 --> 00:02:07.892
"hey, this hunter biden laptop,
00:02:07.892 --> 00:02:10.295
It's russian disinformation."
00:02:10.295 --> 00:02:12.730
So she ran with that, that was her big scoop.
00:02:12.730 --> 00:02:14.933
And now her big scoop for cnn
00:02:14.933 --> 00:02:16.768
Is that there's an intelligence report
00:02:16.768 --> 00:02:20.004
From the defense intelligence agency
00:02:20.004 --> 00:02:21.973
That by the way, has low level confidence.
00:02:21.973 --> 00:02:25.043
And- - what does that mean?
00:02:25.043 --> 00:02:26.578
I want people
00:02:26.578 --> 00:02:28.012
To understand that. - that means that this is just
00:02:28.012 --> 00:02:28.980
A very preliminary assessment.
00:02:28.980 --> 00:02:30.648
They haven't been able to really get in there
00:02:30.648 --> 00:02:33.184
And see what has gone on.
00:02:33.184 --> 00:02:34.752
But the low level confidence,
00:02:34.752 --> 00:02:36.955
Top secret intelligence report
00:02:36.955 --> 00:02:40.425
That was leaked to cnn said that
00:02:40.425 --> 00:02:43.761
It appears that their capacity to build a nuclear weapon
00:02:43.761 --> 00:02:46.497
Is moved back by a matter of months.
00:02:46.497 --> 00:02:49.801
So that is now the headline that you're seeing
00:02:49.801 --> 00:02:52.070
People like erin burnett on cnn running with,
00:02:52.070 --> 00:02:54.806
After their reporter, natasha bertrand went with it.
00:02:54.806 --> 00:02:57.909
The new york times.
00:02:57.909 --> 00:02:59.177
- what to celebrate- - they're all taking it.
00:02:59.177 --> 00:03:00.411
They're celebrating this like there's
00:03:00.411 --> 00:03:01.980
Egg on the president's face when in reality our soldiers,
00:03:01.980 --> 00:03:05.550
Our troops, our pilots went over there
00:03:05.550 --> 00:03:08.019
And had a perilous mission, did it,
00:03:08.019 --> 00:03:10.588
And now they're celebrating it.
00:03:10.588 --> 00:03:12.390
- yeah, they're celebrating
00:03:12.390 --> 00:03:13.891
What they think could be a not 100% successful mission.
00:03:13.891 --> 00:03:16.594
Well, you know what we know also about this president?
00:03:16.594 --> 00:03:19.197
Guess what? it's not 100% successful.
00:03:19.197 --> 00:03:21.032
You know what's gonna happen.
00:03:21.032 --> 00:03:22.233
We'll send a couple more over there.
00:03:22.233 --> 00:03:23.268
We'll see what happens. okay.
00:03:23.268 --> 00:03:25.703
Right now, there's quiet.
00:03:25.703 --> 00:03:29.607
Has anything happened really overnight? no.
00:03:30.541 --> 00:03:32.577
Did that ceasefire stick the first time? no.
00:03:32.577 --> 00:03:34.445
But did it stick that second time? it sure seems like it.
00:03:34.445 --> 00:03:37.815
'cause we have an administration that actually cares.
00:03:37.815 --> 00:03:41.152
Do i like that these kind of things leak? no, i do not.
00:03:41.152 --> 00:03:43.755
I think that this is very damaging to a lot of people
00:03:43.755 --> 00:03:47.158
And to really, it's to our safety and our security.
00:03:47.158 --> 00:03:50.728
We gotta figure this part out.
00:03:50.728 --> 00:03:53.097
And i'm glad the pete,
00:03:53.097 --> 00:03:54.532
And some of the other groups there, i mean, look,
00:03:54.532 --> 00:03:56.934
They were able to accomplish the mission
00:03:56.934 --> 00:03:58.503
Without anything leaking.
00:03:58.503 --> 00:04:00.405
They were able to do the unthinkable,
00:04:00.405 --> 00:04:02.040
Send, you know, planes from missouri to iran and back
00:04:02.040 --> 00:04:07.178
Without any of us knowing.
00:04:07.745 --> 00:04:09.013
Not even the news was reporting
00:04:09.013 --> 00:04:10.315
That there was explosions that happened.
00:04:10.315 --> 00:04:12.884
It was done before anyone knew.
00:04:13.518 --> 00:04:16.354
But how dare they have a successful mission?
00:04:17.288 --> 00:04:19.590
We're gonna try to put egg on their face
00:04:19.590 --> 00:04:21.025
And then try to smirch the name of our us military.
00:04:21.025 --> 00:04:24.929
It's disgusting. i hate it.
00:04:24.929 --> 00:04:26.497
(soft music)
00:04:26.497 --> 00:04:30.995
(empowering music)
00:04:31.165 --> 00:04:33.234
We're talking about the intelligence leak that happened.
00:04:33.234 --> 00:04:35.436
You may have seen saying that, "hey,
00:04:35.436 --> 00:04:37.438
They didn't fully destroy these nuke facilities,
00:04:37.438 --> 00:04:39.740
But they bumped them back just a matter of months."
00:04:39.740 --> 00:04:42.309
Which again, to me is still bumping back
00:04:42.309 --> 00:04:45.079
What was a almost nuke threat by a matter of months,
00:04:45.079 --> 00:04:49.917
It's still a success.
00:04:49.917 --> 00:04:51.452
But they're saying of course, that's not even accurate.
00:04:51.452 --> 00:04:53.320
But that is coming from a low level leaker.
00:04:53.320 --> 00:04:55.790
And right now the pentagon is going to investigate
00:04:55.790 --> 00:04:58.692
How this happened
00:04:58.692 --> 00:04:59.994
'cause this should not still be happening.
00:04:59.994 --> 00:05:01.896
Like will said, it feels like the deep state
00:05:01.896 --> 00:05:03.697
Can be alive and well right now
00:05:03.697 --> 00:05:05.399
If it comes to any sort of success
00:05:05.399 --> 00:05:07.101
That may happen under a trump administration.
00:05:07.101 --> 00:05:09.870
Now, i do think we should give some time to president trump.
00:05:09.870 --> 00:05:13.307
Give some time to cnn so you can hear
00:05:13.307 --> 00:05:15.075
What they had to say and maybe some others.
00:05:15.075 --> 00:05:16.877
Will, where do you wanna go first?
00:05:16.877 --> 00:05:18.179
- well, let's first lay out what happened.
00:05:18.179 --> 00:05:20.247
This was natasha bertand who is infamous for
00:05:20.247 --> 00:05:23.150
Russia gate reporting with business insider.
00:05:23.150 --> 00:05:26.587
And then she got a promotion within the world
00:05:26.587 --> 00:05:29.056
Of anti-trump journalists and joined cnn.
00:05:29.056 --> 00:05:33.227
And then she famously got the scoop
00:05:33.227 --> 00:05:35.629
About the 51 intel members that lied
00:05:35.629 --> 00:05:38.098
About the hunter biden laptop
00:05:38.098 --> 00:05:39.834
To try to give cover for president biden's election in 2020.
00:05:39.834 --> 00:05:43.771
And now she has a new scoop.
00:05:43.771 --> 00:05:45.406
And this is the headline;
00:05:45.406 --> 00:05:46.774
"exclusive, early us intel assessment suggests
00:05:46.774 --> 00:05:50.411
Strikes on iran did not destroy nuclear sites," sources say.
00:05:50.411 --> 00:05:55.749
What is so troubling here on many layers,
00:05:56.617 --> 00:05:59.453
Is that remember how pete hegseth
00:05:59.453 --> 00:06:02.890
And the entire team early on,
00:06:02.890 --> 00:06:05.693
Because of the incidental adding of jeffrey goldberg
00:06:05.693 --> 00:06:09.697
To their signal chat put national security at risk.
00:06:09.697 --> 00:06:13.734
So many people were at risk,
00:06:13.734 --> 00:06:16.570
And just the fact of our secrets being not protected.
00:06:16.570 --> 00:06:20.541
Now we have cnn running with a story
00:06:20.541 --> 00:06:24.378
That was leaked to them.
00:06:24.378 --> 00:06:25.646
- so happy to do it. - in the aftermath
00:06:25.646 --> 00:06:27.848
Of a successful bombing campaign in iran
00:06:27.848 --> 00:06:31.752
That is trying to push a different narrative
00:06:31.752 --> 00:06:33.988
Than what the president has said.
00:06:33.988 --> 00:06:35.856
And honestly, it's a low, low confidence assessment.
00:06:35.856 --> 00:06:39.126
It's very early, but-
00:06:39.126 --> 00:06:40.995
- well, they're breathing a sigh relief
00:06:40.995 --> 00:06:42.429
Because actually it's something they can report on
00:06:42.429 --> 00:06:44.164
That their audience hopefully will like.
00:06:44.164 --> 00:06:46.100
That's the problem is they've been, you know,
00:06:46.100 --> 00:06:47.902
Having to cover a story that has been kind of celebrated
00:06:47.902 --> 00:06:51.038
Over even from a lot of democrats.
00:06:51.038 --> 00:06:53.507
And they don't like that, it doesn't fit the narrative.
00:06:53.507 --> 00:06:57.077
So, what are we gonna do?
00:06:57.077 --> 00:06:58.379
We're gonna get someone we know,
00:06:58.379 --> 00:07:00.080
A low level person in the pentagon to leak us in a document
00:07:00.080 --> 00:07:02.983
That says, "oh, it was a success.
00:07:02.983 --> 00:07:04.885
Just maybe not as big of a success as we thought."
00:07:04.885 --> 00:07:08.822
- and the fact that they are so excited
00:07:08.822 --> 00:07:11.191
And wanting to push this.
00:07:11.191 --> 00:07:12.893
And you even saw aaron burnett, who a few weeks ago,
00:07:12.893 --> 00:07:17.064
Maybe just before the attack,
00:07:17.064 --> 00:07:18.499
Said that iran was years away from a nuclear bomb.
00:07:18.499 --> 00:07:21.902
Now, joyfully reporting, look,
00:07:21.902 --> 00:07:24.738
It's only pushed back their program a couple of months,
00:07:24.738 --> 00:07:27.675
Trying to have it both ways.
00:07:27.675 --> 00:07:29.043
They're excited about this
00:07:29.043 --> 00:07:30.411
Instead of calling this out, what is this?
00:07:30.411 --> 00:07:32.313
A national security risk, this leak.
00:07:32.313 --> 00:07:34.915
This is someone who decided to leak something
00:07:34.915 --> 00:07:37.017
For political purposes
00:07:37.017 --> 00:07:38.485
And the only person it helps other than maybe
00:07:38.485 --> 00:07:41.689
A bump in viewership at cnn
00:07:41.689 --> 00:07:43.657
And msnbc is the ayatollah of iran.
00:07:43.657 --> 00:07:47.528
It's a pr win for the iranians.
00:07:47.528 --> 00:07:50.197
Regardless of what the assessment says,
00:07:50.197 --> 00:07:52.499
The only person it helps
00:07:52.499 --> 00:07:54.368
Is the iranian mullahs and ayatollah.
00:07:54.368 --> 00:07:57.271
- i think we should, you know, give them their due.
00:07:57.271 --> 00:07:59.540
You probably want to hear from 'em.
00:07:59.540 --> 00:08:01.141
So, maybe we'll hear from bertrand,
00:08:01.141 --> 00:08:02.676
Hear a little bit from cnn.
00:08:02.676 --> 00:08:03.944
Where do you want, where do you wanna start with?
00:08:03.944 --> 00:08:05.245
- sure, you can.
00:08:05.245 --> 00:08:06.513
This is natasha bertrand reporting on the story.
00:08:06.513 --> 00:08:09.316
This is byte 10.
00:08:09.316 --> 00:08:10.818
- this is the first assessment that we are getting
00:08:10.818 --> 00:08:13.287
That the us intelligence community has found
00:08:13.287 --> 00:08:15.789
About the battle damage that was,
00:08:15.789 --> 00:08:17.992
That resulted from those us military strikes
00:08:17.992 --> 00:08:19.893
On these three iranian nuclear facilities over the weekend.
00:08:19.893 --> 00:08:22.730
And as you said, it was produced
00:08:22.730 --> 00:08:24.398
By the defense intelligence agency,
00:08:24.398 --> 00:08:26.000
Which is the pentagon's intelligence arm.
00:08:26.000 --> 00:08:28.402
And it is worth noting that it is a very early assessment.
00:08:28.402 --> 00:08:31.438
The strikes were only a matter of days ago
00:08:31.438 --> 00:08:33.173
And the intelligence community
00:08:33.173 --> 00:08:34.208
Is still gathering intelligence.
00:08:34.208 --> 00:08:36.010
They're still working to come up
00:08:36.010 --> 00:08:37.578
With a full comprehensive picture
00:08:37.578 --> 00:08:39.713
Of what exactly happened here.
00:08:39.713 --> 00:08:41.015
But based on a battle damage assessment
00:08:41.015 --> 00:08:43.484
That was carried out by us central command,
00:08:43.484 --> 00:08:45.285
Essentially looking at the images
00:08:45.285 --> 00:08:47.021
And looking at what was actually damaged.
00:08:47.021 --> 00:08:48.822
The defense intelligence agency has assessed
00:08:48.822 --> 00:08:51.025
That the core components of iran's nuclear program
00:08:51.025 --> 00:08:54.828
Are largely intact and that iran's nuclear program
00:08:54.828 --> 00:08:57.831
Has essentially only been set back by months.
00:08:57.831 --> 00:09:00.801
- all right, so that is cnn's point of view, again,
00:09:00.801 --> 00:09:03.070
Coming from leaked documents, low level documents.
00:09:03.070 --> 00:09:05.072
Again, she caveats it a little by saying,
00:09:05.072 --> 00:09:07.408
"you know, this is just early assessments.
00:09:07.408 --> 00:09:09.143
We don't really know, we haven't really been able
00:09:09.143 --> 00:09:10.811
To go take a look at all the battle damage."
00:09:10.811 --> 00:09:12.312
This is maybe from looking at, i guess,
00:09:12.312 --> 00:09:13.981
Satellite imagery of what happened here.
00:09:13.981 --> 00:09:16.884
And look, i'm not saying necessarily they're wrong,
00:09:16.884 --> 00:09:20.054
Because there, now president trump
00:09:20.054 --> 00:09:22.356
And a lot of them have said they're wrong.
00:09:22.356 --> 00:09:23.991
But the idea that you would get this document,
00:09:23.991 --> 00:09:26.393
You would push to get it,
00:09:26.393 --> 00:09:28.162
And then you would report on something that, again,
00:09:28.162 --> 00:09:30.798
Only benefits a very big threat to the united states.
00:09:30.798 --> 00:09:36.136
I don't understand, other than just putting president trump,
00:09:37.337 --> 00:09:40.507
Making him look somehow a little bit
00:09:40.507 --> 00:09:43.444
Less honest, i guess, than they want,
00:09:43.444 --> 00:09:44.945
'cause he said it was a massive success.
00:09:44.945 --> 00:09:46.447
But let's hear from president trump as well talking,
00:09:46.447 --> 00:09:48.649
And then kaitlan collins.
00:09:48.649 --> 00:09:50.851
- oh, fake news cnn.
00:09:51.318 --> 00:09:53.554
Oh yeah, yeah. here we go.
00:09:53.554 --> 00:09:55.289
Wait till you hear this question.
00:09:55.289 --> 00:09:57.091
- thank you, sir. - you should really say
00:09:57.091 --> 00:09:58.659
How great our soldiers and our warriors are.
00:09:58.659 --> 00:10:01.862
- i think everyone appreciates
00:10:01.862 --> 00:10:02.830
Our soldiers and our warriors.
00:10:02.830 --> 00:10:04.098
I do have two questions for you, mr. president.
00:10:04.098 --> 00:10:06.133
You just cited israeli intelligence on these attacks.
00:10:06.133 --> 00:10:10.137
Earlier you said us intelligence was inconclusive.
00:10:10.137 --> 00:10:13.207
Are you relying on israeli intelligence for your assessment
00:10:13.207 --> 00:10:16.410
Of the impact of the strikes? - no. no.
00:10:16.410 --> 00:10:18.112
No, this is also, iran made the statement
00:10:18.112 --> 00:10:20.280
And it's also, if you read the document that was given
00:10:20.280 --> 00:10:23.383
That pete can talk about if you'd like,
00:10:23.383 --> 00:10:25.886
The document said it could be very severe damage,
00:10:25.886 --> 00:10:29.523
But they didn't take that.
00:10:29.523 --> 00:10:31.358
They said it could be limited or it could be very severe.
00:10:31.358 --> 00:10:33.794
They really didn't know other than to say
00:10:33.794 --> 00:10:36.363
It could be limited or it could be very, very severe.
00:10:36.363 --> 00:10:39.133
And you didn't choose to put that
00:10:39.133 --> 00:10:41.168
Because it was very early after.
00:10:41.168 --> 00:10:43.170
Since then, we've collected additional intelligence.
00:10:43.170 --> 00:10:46.073
We've also spoken to people who have seen the site
00:10:46.073 --> 00:10:48.709
And the site is obliterated
00:10:48.709 --> 00:10:51.645
And we think everything nuclear is down there.
00:10:51.645 --> 00:10:54.114
They didn't take it out.
00:10:54.114 --> 00:10:55.883
- when you hear the president there, one,
00:10:55.883 --> 00:10:58.318
Also pointing out as cnn likes to do that.
00:10:58.318 --> 00:11:01.021
And you could tell that natasha bertand,
00:11:01.021 --> 00:11:02.956
Even in that report had clearly seen the whole document.
00:11:02.956 --> 00:11:06.226
- yeah. - she knew a lot of details
00:11:06.226 --> 00:11:07.861
And ins and outs.
00:11:07.861 --> 00:11:09.263
But that is selective reporting in the headline,
00:11:09.263 --> 00:11:12.599
The splashy headline that they wanted was that
00:11:12.599 --> 00:11:15.869
The assessment suggests strikes on iran
00:11:15.869 --> 00:11:18.305
Did not destroy nuclear sites, sources say.
00:11:18.305 --> 00:11:21.141
They are using anonymous leakers
00:11:21.141 --> 00:11:23.243
That are dangerous to the united states national security.
00:11:23.243 --> 00:11:27.181
They are trying to undermine the mission
00:11:27.181 --> 00:11:29.516
Of our military and of the president.
00:11:29.516 --> 00:11:32.653
They should be celebrating that everyone was safe,
00:11:32.653 --> 00:11:36.690
That it struck a military target
00:11:36.690 --> 00:11:38.892
And that it wasn't leaked beforehand,
00:11:38.892 --> 00:11:41.395
Even though they are probably upset
00:11:41.395 --> 00:11:43.263
That their deep state sources didn't give them a tip off
00:11:43.263 --> 00:11:46.700
Ahead of the flight so that they could
00:11:46.700 --> 00:11:48.502
Put our pilots in harm's way
00:11:48.502 --> 00:11:50.103
As they're on their way to iran.
00:11:50.103 --> 00:11:52.072
But instead, they just wanna celebrate what they could see
00:11:52.072 --> 00:11:55.342
As a failure by the president to keep the world safe.
00:11:55.342 --> 00:11:59.546
And that's, the only person
00:11:59.546 --> 00:12:01.381
They're helping is the ayatollah.
00:12:01.381 --> 00:12:02.816
- but this pentagon is not going
00:12:02.816 --> 00:12:05.352
To just roll over and take it.
00:12:05.352 --> 00:12:07.054
They're not just going to say, "okay, fine,
00:12:07.054 --> 00:12:09.122
We have people leaking, whatever, no big deal."
00:12:09.122 --> 00:12:11.792
No, no, no, no, no. and steve witkoff responded to that.
00:12:11.792 --> 00:12:14.094
I wanna play that just earlier. it's bite five.
00:12:14.094 --> 00:12:17.431
- it goes without saying that,
00:12:17.431 --> 00:12:18.866
That leaking that type of information,
00:12:18.866 --> 00:12:21.101
Whatever the information,
00:12:21.101 --> 00:12:22.436
Whatever site it comes out on is outrageous.
00:12:22.436 --> 00:12:24.905
It's treasonous, so it ought to be investigated
00:12:24.905 --> 00:12:28.475
And whoever did it, whoever's responsible for it
00:12:28.475 --> 00:12:31.478
Should be held accountable.
00:12:31.478 --> 00:12:33.413
It could hurt lives in the future
00:12:33.413 --> 00:12:35.883
If there's, leaking is a unacceptable thing.
00:12:35.883 --> 00:12:39.319
- all right.
00:12:39.319 --> 00:12:40.787
I also wanna, that was obviously from steve witkoff.
00:12:40.787 --> 00:12:42.122
I want to kick it over to a phone call
00:12:42.122 --> 00:12:43.724
Because we have one calling in about this.
00:12:43.724 --> 00:12:44.992
Scott though is watching on youtube in oklahoma.
00:12:44.992 --> 00:12:47.361
Scott, go ahead. - good.
00:12:47.361 --> 00:12:49.162
Okay, so i do agree it's disrespectful
00:12:49.162 --> 00:12:52.132
To our men and women in uniform
00:12:52.132 --> 00:12:53.800
That carried out the mission.
00:12:53.800 --> 00:12:57.104
I just wanted to say that i don't see any reason
00:12:57.104 --> 00:13:01.475
To get worked up about it right now.
00:13:01.475 --> 00:13:04.878
Let an investigation happen, we'll find out the truth.
00:13:04.878 --> 00:13:08.548
And i'm kind of glad that the liberal media outlets
00:13:08.548 --> 00:13:12.552
Are running with this
00:13:12.552 --> 00:13:13.921
Because once again, give 'em enough rope,
00:13:13.921 --> 00:13:17.057
They'll hang themselves and lose again.
00:13:17.057 --> 00:13:20.527
- thanks scott, i think what the biggest issue
00:13:20.527 --> 00:13:23.230
With it also is just how much
00:13:23.230 --> 00:13:26.333
They have made about classified documents in the past.
00:13:26.333 --> 00:13:29.536
The president trying to have him put in jail,
00:13:29.536 --> 00:13:33.573
President trump over retaining documents from his presidency
00:13:33.573 --> 00:13:38.879
And now, but they are freely able
00:13:39.613 --> 00:13:41.281
To do something in an early assessment
00:13:41.281 --> 00:13:43.951
When a ceasefire is very fragile,
00:13:43.951 --> 00:13:46.286
That could embolden the mullahs and ayatollahs
00:13:46.286 --> 00:13:48.488
And have real consequences
00:13:48.488 --> 00:13:50.190
For our men and women in uniform in the region.
00:13:50.190 --> 00:13:52.826
It doesn't help the national security,
00:13:52.826 --> 00:13:55.662
It doesn't help the lives of americans.
00:13:55.662 --> 00:13:57.798
When an assessment like this,
00:13:57.798 --> 00:14:00.200
Which is selectively reported,
00:14:00.200 --> 00:14:02.202
Is leaked by someone that works for the pentagon,
00:14:02.202 --> 00:14:04.604
Is what it appears
00:14:04.604 --> 00:14:06.273
And given to the press and they are able to run with it.
00:14:06.273 --> 00:14:08.976
And it damages the reputation of the united states.
00:14:08.976 --> 00:14:11.945
It damages the safety of the united states
00:14:11.945 --> 00:14:14.781
And of our men and women in uniform.
00:14:14.781 --> 00:14:16.383
So, i understand where you're coming from
00:14:16.383 --> 00:14:18.418
And yes, an investigation will be done
00:14:18.418 --> 00:14:20.187
And hopefully the leaker is found and held accountable
00:14:20.187 --> 00:14:22.556
Because going forward, that also can't be the pattern.
00:14:22.556 --> 00:14:26.460
It can't be that the deep state
00:14:26.460 --> 00:14:28.028
Selectively gives information to the press
00:14:28.028 --> 00:14:31.098
In order to harm the interest of the united states.
00:14:31.098 --> 00:14:34.634
That's why we're worked up about it.
00:14:34.634 --> 00:14:36.136
(empowering music)
00:14:36.136 --> 00:14:41.997
(empowering music)
00:14:41.997 --> 00:14:42.462
(empowering music)
00:14:42.896 --> 00:14:46.099
Welcome back to "sekulow."
00:14:46.099 --> 00:14:47.700
We are now going live to aclj jerusalem head, jeff ballabon.
00:14:47.700 --> 00:14:50.703
And i think it's important though
00:14:50.703 --> 00:14:52.172
For people to hear what's going on on the ground.
00:14:52.172 --> 00:14:54.574
As of course we are headed out of a,
00:14:54.574 --> 00:14:57.277
What was a pretty historic weekend.
00:14:57.277 --> 00:14:59.312
We haven't been able to talk to you just yet since.
00:14:59.312 --> 00:15:02.182
So, just give us your assessment of how it's feeling.
00:15:02.182 --> 00:15:05.485
- yeah, it's a lot to cover in a short amount of time.
00:15:05.485 --> 00:15:08.855
The most obvious is it's the first night
00:15:08.855 --> 00:15:10.790
Since this war started that there weren't sirens
00:15:10.790 --> 00:15:15.195
Going off in the middle of the night.
00:15:15.195 --> 00:15:16.863
So, that's a night of peaceful sleep, which is,
00:15:16.863 --> 00:15:19.866
But i'm not saying for me personally,
00:15:19.866 --> 00:15:21.568
I'm saying for the whole country.
00:15:21.568 --> 00:15:23.069
Now, of course there is a war going on still in gaza.
00:15:23.069 --> 00:15:26.239
And even what you've been talking about now in the air
00:15:27.307 --> 00:15:31.144
About what damage was done, how much was done,
00:15:31.144 --> 00:15:33.446
There's a lot of speculation.
00:15:33.446 --> 00:15:35.115
People are curious, but only those who know, really know.
00:15:35.115 --> 00:15:39.018
And you know, it's reasonable to assume
00:15:39.018 --> 00:15:42.555
That both president trump and prime minister netanyahu
00:15:42.555 --> 00:15:45.925
Would be hard pressed to make such bold claims
00:15:45.925 --> 00:15:48.862
If there weren't something to back it up.
00:15:48.862 --> 00:15:51.097
Now again, we still don't know
00:15:51.097 --> 00:15:52.465
The full extent of the damage,
00:15:52.465 --> 00:15:54.134
Obviously everyone here is very curious.
00:15:54.134 --> 00:15:55.802
And then the next, moving on to the next
00:15:55.802 --> 00:15:57.237
Level of question is, what does this mean
00:15:57.237 --> 00:15:59.973
In terms of iran and the regime?
00:15:59.973 --> 00:16:01.508
And i know regime changes the word
00:16:01.508 --> 00:16:03.209
That a lot of people in america don't want to hear,
00:16:03.209 --> 00:16:05.445
But the truth is, the nuclear problem was the manifestation,
00:16:05.445 --> 00:16:10.116
The symptom of a much deeper problem,
00:16:10.116 --> 00:16:11.684
Which is just a terrible regime
00:16:11.684 --> 00:16:13.319
That oppresses its own people and exports terror and murder
00:16:13.319 --> 00:16:17.056
Around the world, hates america, hates israel.
00:16:17.056 --> 00:16:19.526
And the question is, have they been weakened enough
00:16:19.526 --> 00:16:21.528
That they don't matter anymore
00:16:21.528 --> 00:16:22.929
Or will the people rise up and replace them?
00:16:22.929 --> 00:16:25.565
And people here are very curious
00:16:25.565 --> 00:16:26.699
To know what's gonna happen.
00:16:26.699 --> 00:16:27.901
And again, i'll remind you,
00:16:27.901 --> 00:16:29.202
That there's still a war going on in gaza.
00:16:29.202 --> 00:16:30.770
There are still hostages alive and dead
00:16:30.770 --> 00:16:33.406
That these people in this country
00:16:33.406 --> 00:16:34.507
Really want back desperately.
00:16:34.507 --> 00:16:36.309
- well, and jeff, that is kind of the little bit
00:16:36.309 --> 00:16:39.712
Of the difference between the us foreign policy
00:16:39.712 --> 00:16:43.483
At this point and the israeli foreign policy.
00:16:43.483 --> 00:16:46.085
Because iran, with the ayatollah in place,
00:16:46.085 --> 00:16:51.357
And as long as it is the islamic republic of iran,
00:16:52.392 --> 00:16:56.095
It will be an existential threat to israel
00:16:56.095 --> 00:16:59.032
Because their entire foundation is premised
00:16:59.032 --> 00:17:02.835
On a theology which requires them
00:17:02.835 --> 00:17:05.538
To seek the destruction of israel
00:17:05.538 --> 00:17:08.141
And also the united states.
00:17:08.141 --> 00:17:10.310
So, while the existential threat to america
00:17:10.310 --> 00:17:15.181
May be severely depleted through these strikes,
00:17:15.181 --> 00:17:18.685
There is going to be a friction point between us agenda
00:17:18.685 --> 00:17:22.956
And israeli agenda at this point
00:17:22.956 --> 00:17:25.058
As long as there is that regime.
00:17:25.058 --> 00:17:27.126
And how do you see that playing out?
00:17:27.126 --> 00:17:29.629
Obviously all speculation, but over the next months
00:17:29.629 --> 00:17:33.066
And as we see more intelligence coming out
00:17:33.066 --> 00:17:35.868
About actually did occur.
00:17:35.868 --> 00:17:37.971
- so, first of all, i will say this,
00:17:37.971 --> 00:17:39.939
I should have also led with this.
00:17:39.939 --> 00:17:42.008
The amount of love really for president trump
00:17:42.008 --> 00:17:45.778
And the fact that he called that shot
00:17:45.778 --> 00:17:48.248
To allow the bunker busters and the b2 bombers
00:17:48.248 --> 00:17:50.583
To go and deliver them, which something that israel
00:17:50.583 --> 00:17:53.686
Obviously has the intelligence
00:17:53.686 --> 00:17:56.189
And the ability to make those moves,
00:17:56.189 --> 00:17:58.658
But simply did not have the armaments, the weaponry.
00:17:58.658 --> 00:18:01.694
The fact that america made the call to do it
00:18:01.694 --> 00:18:03.429
Is something that israel loves, respects,
00:18:03.429 --> 00:18:06.432
And they understand they've never had
00:18:06.432 --> 00:18:07.634
A friend like this anywhere on earth.
00:18:07.634 --> 00:18:09.135
And that is something very important
00:18:09.135 --> 00:18:10.503
To the people of israel.
00:18:10.503 --> 00:18:12.105
And there's always drama and there's personality clashes.
00:18:12.105 --> 00:18:15.575
And there, you know, there's also trump is very performative
00:18:15.575 --> 00:18:18.578
And it's never clear if he means exactly what he's saying
00:18:18.578 --> 00:18:20.780
Or he is trying to present an image
00:18:20.780 --> 00:18:22.749
Because he has something going on behind closed doors.
00:18:22.749 --> 00:18:24.717
No one knows.
00:18:24.717 --> 00:18:26.252
We do know is that donald trump has just acted in a way
00:18:26.252 --> 00:18:27.687
That is amazingly important for the state of israel,
00:18:27.687 --> 00:18:30.189
For the jewish people.
00:18:30.189 --> 00:18:31.324
But to your point, the fact is that
00:18:31.324 --> 00:18:34.794
The islamic regime with nukes
00:18:34.794 --> 00:18:37.230
Do represented a major threat to america,
00:18:37.230 --> 00:18:39.832
Not just through its proxies
00:18:39.832 --> 00:18:41.234
That still exist across america,
00:18:41.234 --> 00:18:42.735
But because the ability to deliver a nuclear device,
00:18:42.735 --> 00:18:45.872
Even with a dirty bomb, let alone an icbm
00:18:45.872 --> 00:18:48.308
To impact america's grid is a national crisis
00:18:48.308 --> 00:18:52.011
That could bring down the entire country.
00:18:52.011 --> 00:18:53.713
And so it has been absolutely
00:18:53.713 --> 00:18:55.481
In america's interest to do this.
00:18:55.481 --> 00:18:57.216
President trump made this part of what he ran on both times.
00:18:57.216 --> 00:19:00.420
And by the way, senator, a lot of presidents,
00:19:00.420 --> 00:19:02.388
He's the only one who actually did it.
00:19:02.388 --> 00:19:03.956
And so, the truth is there's not such a difference
00:19:03.956 --> 00:19:06.626
In needs and goals.
00:19:06.626 --> 00:19:08.361
There may be a difference in politics
00:19:08.361 --> 00:19:10.063
Between the two countries. - exactly.
00:19:10.063 --> 00:19:12.231
And i think president trump, like you said,
00:19:12.231 --> 00:19:14.467
Ran on this and look, so did you look at videos
00:19:14.467 --> 00:19:17.203
Of kamala harris saying,
00:19:17.203 --> 00:19:18.638
"who's the number one threat to america right now?"
00:19:18.638 --> 00:19:20.206
And she very quickly said, "iran."
00:19:20.206 --> 00:19:22.875
I think that she's like, it wasn't even a question,
00:19:22.875 --> 00:19:25.144
But of course now you have to have some sort of spin
00:19:25.144 --> 00:19:28.147
Because president trump did it
00:19:28.147 --> 00:19:29.682
And they have to come up with a reason why this is bad,
00:19:29.682 --> 00:19:31.851
A reason why this didn't.
00:19:31.851 --> 00:19:33.453
And jeff, i know you worked in news for a long time as well,
00:19:33.453 --> 00:19:35.288
But when you see this and we know that hey,
00:19:35.288 --> 00:19:37.323
A leaked document came out and that leaked document said,
00:19:37.323 --> 00:19:39.959
"hey, maybe it wasn't as damaging as we thought."
00:19:39.959 --> 00:19:43.196
Sure, the news can report on information that they get
00:19:43.196 --> 00:19:45.898
And all of that, but that only is benefiting
00:19:45.898 --> 00:19:48.801
To create this sort of doubt
00:19:48.801 --> 00:19:50.837
That feels like it's only benefiting
00:19:50.837 --> 00:19:53.206
Iran in this conversation.
00:19:53.206 --> 00:19:55.074
Why? not only, not just why you report it.
00:19:55.074 --> 00:19:57.443
Again, i kinda understand if you're giving information
00:19:57.443 --> 00:19:59.545
Why you're reporting it,
00:19:59.545 --> 00:20:00.947
But the leaker themselves is doing this
00:20:00.947 --> 00:20:03.616
Because clearly they have a personal issue
00:20:03.616 --> 00:20:06.619
Or vendetta against this administration
00:20:06.619 --> 00:20:09.322
And probably the support of israel overall.
00:20:09.322 --> 00:20:12.859
- oh yeah, i couldn't agree more.
00:20:12.859 --> 00:20:15.161
The media have played a horrific role
00:20:15.161 --> 00:20:17.397
Throughout this entire process spreading all kinds of rumors
00:20:17.397 --> 00:20:21.267
And allegations and misinformation using
00:20:21.267 --> 00:20:24.070
Literal hamas terrorist sources
00:20:24.070 --> 00:20:27.440
As though it were accurate news.
00:20:27.440 --> 00:20:30.343
But when israel said something that was demonstrably true,
00:20:30.343 --> 00:20:32.745
They would challenge it.
00:20:32.745 --> 00:20:34.147
The media really, there was just testimony yesterday
00:20:34.147 --> 00:20:36.349
On capitol hill about this,
00:20:36.349 --> 00:20:37.683
The media really have been stoking the fires
00:20:37.683 --> 00:20:40.720
Not just of anti-trump and really of anti-america
00:20:40.720 --> 00:20:43.890
And anti-semitism and the media's doing this.
00:20:43.890 --> 00:20:46.459
And yes, i've worked in the news for many, many years
00:20:46.459 --> 00:20:48.461
And it's really, it's tragic and painful to see it.
00:20:48.461 --> 00:20:50.663
And remember, donald trump, when he ran on it,
00:20:50.663 --> 00:20:52.632
He talked about media being the enemy of the people.
00:20:52.632 --> 00:20:54.934
And this is an example of that. it really is.
00:20:54.934 --> 00:20:57.103
Now, i mean that said,
00:20:57.103 --> 00:20:59.439
We do wanna know how much it was damaged,
00:20:59.439 --> 00:21:01.407
But it's important to point out this is the same media types
00:21:01.407 --> 00:21:03.910
Who are challenging what damage was done
00:21:03.910 --> 00:21:06.045
And saying, you know, "not so much damage done,
00:21:06.045 --> 00:21:07.780
Maybe they're not swift."
00:21:07.780 --> 00:21:09.048
Who a minute ago were arguing that iran
00:21:09.048 --> 00:21:11.250
Doesn't really have nuclear weapon emissions
00:21:11.250 --> 00:21:13.085
And it's too far away to even have it.
00:21:13.085 --> 00:21:15.021
All of a sudden they've completely flipped the narrative
00:21:15.021 --> 00:21:16.989
As if they weren't making that argument
00:21:16.989 --> 00:21:18.191
Until a hot second ago
00:21:18.191 --> 00:21:20.460
Until donald trump allowed the bombers.
00:21:20.460 --> 00:21:24.297
- jeff, i also want to get into some of the,
00:21:24.297 --> 00:21:27.834
You are there still working,
00:21:27.834 --> 00:21:29.368
Even though you have been under a lot of alerts,
00:21:29.368 --> 00:21:32.905
A lot of sheltering in place
00:21:32.905 --> 00:21:35.541
As the war played out for those 12 days.
00:21:35.541 --> 00:21:39.512
But, can you talk about also yesterday
00:21:39.512 --> 00:21:41.914
We did try to connect with you,
00:21:41.914 --> 00:21:43.683
Just some of the other things
00:21:43.683 --> 00:21:45.418
That you were able to do while you're there,
00:21:45.418 --> 00:21:47.954
And especially now that you can kind of
00:21:47.954 --> 00:21:50.690
Get back to work some since there aren't
00:21:50.690 --> 00:21:53.659
The threat of incoming hypersonic missiles.
00:21:53.659 --> 00:21:57.530
- sure.
00:21:57.763 --> 00:21:59.298
So, yesterday, for the first time since the war started,
00:21:59.298 --> 00:22:02.502
Was able to get together with a group of people
00:22:02.502 --> 00:22:04.537
That we at the aclj jerusalem,
00:22:04.537 --> 00:22:06.706
But even our offices in washington have been,
00:22:06.706 --> 00:22:09.609
You know, working closely with for many years
00:22:09.609 --> 00:22:13.212
In terms of policy,
00:22:13.212 --> 00:22:14.580
In terms of american policy, that antisemitism.
00:22:14.580 --> 00:22:17.316
I mean these are people who are either americans
00:22:17.316 --> 00:22:19.519
Who happened to be here now
00:22:19.519 --> 00:22:20.786
Or some israelis who were stuck overseas
00:22:20.786 --> 00:22:23.055
And were just able to get back in.
00:22:23.055 --> 00:22:24.991
And so it was the first day
00:22:24.991 --> 00:22:26.392
That we were actually able to meet in person,
00:22:26.392 --> 00:22:28.661
Partially because, not so much the lockdowns
00:22:28.661 --> 00:22:30.963
Because people were stranded overseas
00:22:30.963 --> 00:22:32.698
Trying to get back into israel
00:22:32.698 --> 00:22:34.400
And they were able to get back in
00:22:34.400 --> 00:22:35.601
And we were finally able to meet.
00:22:35.601 --> 00:22:37.236
And this is all about a lot of global policy issues
00:22:37.236 --> 00:22:40.873
That we work on relating to
00:22:40.873 --> 00:22:42.375
Fighting antisemitism in america,
00:22:42.375 --> 00:22:44.477
Fighting bds across the various states,
00:22:44.477 --> 00:22:48.447
New laws that are coming up
00:22:48.447 --> 00:22:51.083
And some that are gonna be signed soon
00:22:51.083 --> 00:22:52.418
That are not yet public,
00:22:52.418 --> 00:22:53.819
That are very supportive things we care about
00:22:53.819 --> 00:22:56.055
In various states in the united states.
00:22:56.055 --> 00:22:57.590
But again, it's been hard.
00:22:57.590 --> 00:22:59.125
Everyone's been caring for their family
00:22:59.125 --> 00:23:00.359
And people have been trying to struggle
00:23:00.359 --> 00:23:01.394
To get in from the country.
00:23:01.394 --> 00:23:02.695
And some people here are trying to struggle
00:23:02.695 --> 00:23:03.996
Through their days and this really represented
00:23:03.996 --> 00:23:05.431
The first time they were all able to have
00:23:05.431 --> 00:23:06.832
Sort of a mini summit of about 15 of us to talk about
00:23:06.832 --> 00:23:10.570
Where things are in all the work that we work on constantly.
00:23:10.570 --> 00:23:14.106
And again, this, it crosses, it's law,
00:23:14.106 --> 00:23:17.510
It's academics, it's policy,
00:23:17.510 --> 00:23:19.579
It's everything aclj works on all at once.
00:23:19.579 --> 00:23:23.249
And we were able to thank god, have a meeting
00:23:23.249 --> 00:23:24.817
And also celebrate the success of these actions
00:23:24.817 --> 00:23:28.054
And the fact that we're all alive and everyone's well.
00:23:28.054 --> 00:23:30.256
- yes, exactly jeff.
00:23:30.256 --> 00:23:31.557
And we're so thrilled that you're still there.
00:23:31.557 --> 00:23:32.792
I mean you mentioned bds,
00:23:32.792 --> 00:23:34.193
It almost, bds almost feels like a thing of the past
00:23:34.193 --> 00:23:36.529
Because of how hard we've had to now work on so many other,
00:23:36.529 --> 00:23:40.466
That was like, you know, the little antisemitism
00:23:40.466 --> 00:23:42.768
That you felt like was coming
00:23:42.768 --> 00:23:44.203
Compared to what's happened in the last few years.
00:23:44.203 --> 00:23:45.938
It was one of our top topics,
00:23:45.938 --> 00:23:47.740
But now it's like clear and present for most people.
00:23:47.740 --> 00:23:50.109
It was not like, oh, you know, we're
00:23:50.109 --> 00:23:52.511
Ben and jerry's won't sell ice cream in israel anymore.
00:23:52.511 --> 00:23:54.947
It's like, compared to what we've dealt with now,
00:23:54.947 --> 00:23:58.351
But it's still happening,
00:23:58.351 --> 00:23:59.885
We need to make sure those issues are still being raised.
00:23:59.885 --> 00:24:02.822
It just feels like a lifetime ago.
00:24:02.822 --> 00:24:04.924
- and jews, it's still demonizing israel and jews.
00:24:04.924 --> 00:24:06.792
Life is still miserable for jews
00:24:06.792 --> 00:24:08.427
In universities in america.
00:24:08.427 --> 00:24:10.162
There's a whole bunch of issues that have to get resolved
00:24:10.162 --> 00:24:11.864
And they were not made better just now.
00:24:11.864 --> 00:24:13.466
They just, both sides just ratcheted up their rhetoric.
00:24:13.466 --> 00:24:16.402
- all right, let's go to alex who's calling.
00:24:16.402 --> 00:24:18.104
Listening on siriusxm. alex, you're on the air.
00:24:18.104 --> 00:24:21.207
- [alex] hi guys, thanks for doing a great job.
00:24:21.207 --> 00:24:24.010
And i wanna emphasize something
00:24:24.010 --> 00:24:26.245
That i think is extremely important
00:24:26.245 --> 00:24:28.314
That we should all be doing right now
00:24:28.314 --> 00:24:29.949
And that is praying for our president.
00:24:29.949 --> 00:24:32.852
The man is doing a great job.
00:24:33.486 --> 00:24:35.921
That doesn't mean he doesn't feel the stresses of the job.
00:24:35.921 --> 00:24:39.225
We've seen him go through a lot
00:24:39.225 --> 00:24:41.394
And he's fighting very hard
00:24:41.394 --> 00:24:44.163
For what's in the best interest of america and israel
00:24:44.163 --> 00:24:47.833
And i believe all around the world in a unique respect.
00:24:47.833 --> 00:24:52.104
So, prayers to the president and his staff and i believe,
00:24:52.104 --> 00:24:56.642
And hats off to the men who flew the planes
00:24:56.642 --> 00:25:00.579
And bombed the sites.
00:25:00.579 --> 00:25:02.348
Great job to the military, just awesome.
00:25:02.348 --> 00:25:07.119
I wanna make a very good point to you
00:25:07.119 --> 00:25:08.788
And i'm gonna do it very quickly.
00:25:08.788 --> 00:25:10.790
When you believe that there is a threat, you act, okay.
00:25:10.790 --> 00:25:16.095
Now, in respects to the behavior of the iranians,
00:25:17.096 --> 00:25:20.599
I don't know how true these reports are,
00:25:21.467 --> 00:25:23.502
But in the nature of what we're seeing in the general public
00:25:23.502 --> 00:25:26.105
About all the trucks that were outside the fordo site,
00:25:26.105 --> 00:25:30.443
Okay, what is their actions saying
00:25:30.443 --> 00:25:34.013
About all those trucks being there before the bombing?
00:25:34.013 --> 00:25:37.750
They believe that that site is impregnable.
00:25:37.750 --> 00:25:41.787
They believe that that site could be penetrated,
00:25:41.787 --> 00:25:45.224
Could be bombed, could be destroyed.
00:25:45.224 --> 00:25:47.359
No doubt in my mind, with consideration to their behavior.
00:25:47.359 --> 00:25:51.731
And they knew, they firmly believed
00:25:51.731 --> 00:25:53.632
They were gonna be bombed.
00:25:53.632 --> 00:25:55.201
- i think they didn't think president trump was bluffing.
00:25:55.201 --> 00:25:57.603
But i think also what you say, it goes back to
00:25:57.603 --> 00:26:00.272
The actions of the president were not just washington talk,
00:26:00.272 --> 00:26:04.810
It wasn't the red line that obama gave the syrians
00:26:04.810 --> 00:26:09.014
That "hey, if you use chemical weapons,
00:26:09.014 --> 00:26:11.450
That's a red line and then we're gonna bomb you."
00:26:11.450 --> 00:26:13.853
And then they crossed the red line
00:26:13.853 --> 00:26:15.688
And they did nothing about it.
00:26:15.688 --> 00:26:17.656
You have to, if you're gonna lead with strength,
00:26:17.656 --> 00:26:20.659
You have to back up your words with the actions.
00:26:20.659 --> 00:26:23.129
And that's what he gave them.
00:26:23.129 --> 00:26:24.563
He gave them a timeline, then he let israel go forward
00:26:24.563 --> 00:26:27.600
And then he dropped bombs.
00:26:27.600 --> 00:26:28.768
And that is real leadership.
00:26:28.768 --> 00:26:30.269
(gentle music ending)
00:26:30.269 --> 00:26:30.269
