Speaker 1: Is John Solomon on you. Yes, huh, yes, yes, all right,
Speaker 1: just do breaking news, breaking news well with us today.
Speaker 1: The person who has is uh, he is closest to
Speaker 1: the ground in Washington now works personally for for President
Speaker 1: Donald Trump on certain investigations that he wanted done. Where
Speaker 1: we worked together at the Hill one hundred years ago,
Speaker 1: John Solomon, what's I mean? Tell us what the heck
Speaker 1: is going on right now?
Speaker 2: Well, the world is taking shape right in front of
Speaker 2: our eyes. A very big development last night, President Trump
Speaker 2: announcing that Hamas has agreed to disarm as the next
Speaker 2: phase of the peace proposal between Hamas and Israel. Of course,
Speaker 2: it requires an Israeli withdrawal from Casam, which was part
Speaker 2: of the plant. But it is a sign of.
Speaker 3: Progress that, even though it's an iron proxy.
Speaker 2: It is put on the table an idea that can
Speaker 2: move the region towards more peace. Even as the President
Speaker 2: sets up his own attacks on Iran for its most
Speaker 2: recent bad behavior. More rocket firing by Iran, the return
Speaker 2: fire from the United States incredibly intense, targeting large parts
Speaker 2: of the Revolutionary Guard songholds in Iran, and it looks
Speaker 2: like now the President is prepared to have another two
Speaker 2: three weeks of extraordinary bombardment of Iran to eradicate or
Speaker 2: to diminish the Revolutionary Guard, which has been the worst
Speaker 2: of the actors in the country, killing its own people
Speaker 2: when they protested and launching most of the lethal attacks
Speaker 2: against American soldiers.
Speaker 3: So a lot of taking shape.
Speaker 2: There are hopeful signs when you look at Amas, and
Speaker 2: then there are some difficult times ahead for Iran in
Speaker 2: the aerial bombardment.
Speaker 3: That's going to continue over the next couple of weeks.
Speaker 1: John, we talked about it early this morning at six
Speaker 1: o'clock in the morning. The fact is that what's going
Speaker 1: on with Hamas, it looks like Israel did their job.
Speaker 1: It looks like the United States did their job, and
Speaker 1: they're pretty much clean unless they sneak in some guy
Speaker 1: from my Ran in the middle of the night and
Speaker 1: shoots off something to prove that we're wrong. Uh So
Speaker 1: Hamas is taking you know, that's what they do. You know,
Speaker 1: they're sticking somebody into Iraq to shoot something off to
Speaker 1: just say, oh, see there's war in Iraq. Yeah, you
Speaker 1: know what. The real the real test of if there's
Speaker 1: really war or not is I tell people, the real
Speaker 1: test is look at the price of oil. Those oil traders,
Speaker 1: they know more than all of us put together. And
Speaker 1: that's what it is. So the next question is that
Speaker 1: we brought up this morning is Lebanon and Hezballah, and
Speaker 1: that job I think belongs to Israel to take care
Speaker 1: along with the Lebanese government and the Hoodies. That's Saudi
Speaker 1: Arabia's job to take care of them.
Speaker 2: You're exactly right, And yesterday you saw Saudi Arabia announce
Speaker 2: the coalition. I think of a dozen countries that would
Speaker 2: join them in making sure that the Hoodies don't block
Speaker 2: up other shipping lanes across the Middle East. So what
Speaker 2: you're seeing is sort of an outsourcing, a strategic outsourcing
Speaker 2: of various military operations. The Saudi Arabia is going to
Speaker 2: take on Yemen, and the Hoodies, Israel Lebanon for the
Speaker 2: first time working together in four decades, going to take
Speaker 2: on Hezbela, and the United States is going to take
Speaker 2: on Iran. That strategic division of labor could have a
Speaker 2: really devastating effect in Iran, particularly if the continuing financial
Speaker 2: stranglehold on Iran continues.
Speaker 3: To drain its money. So keep a very close eye.
Speaker 1: But what you.
Speaker 2: What you laid out, John, is exactly the strategy. You
Speaker 2: now have a coalition of Arab partners alongside.
Speaker 3: Of Israel in the United States, and each one.
Speaker 2: Is taking on a part of the war and basically
Speaker 2: eliminating the proxies one by one while we hammer Iran directly.
Speaker 2: You could see a very different Middle East when this
Speaker 2: is all over with.
Speaker 1: So John, you're there, You're in a White House, You're
Speaker 1: in Washington. I mean, how the heck did we allow
Speaker 1: space Aim to do such stupidity, and how does the
Speaker 1: rest of NATO allow Spain to do such stupidity.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's a very when you look at what has
Speaker 3: happened in Cuato.
Speaker 1: It's very, very sad to see.
Speaker 2: But it is a culmination of two decades of lawless
Speaker 2: migration in Europe. Europe is what the socialists would love
Speaker 2: to do to America. Borderless, lawless, and so this large
Speaker 2: migration of people were near the border. The Spanish authorities
Speaker 2: did not deployed. They got overrun, both migrants and regular
Speaker 2: people injured, harmed.
Speaker 3: Now they have to do a troop deployment.
Speaker 2: But that is the ultimate case study of what a
Speaker 2: borderless society, what a socialist border society wants. Spain has
Speaker 2: drifted further and further away from its Western values and
Speaker 2: particularly away from the United It.
Speaker 1: Was a Christian country and they allow and nobody's really saying,
Speaker 1: and I have nothing against Muslims, but all the military
Speaker 1: age people of Moroccan Muslims, ninety percent of them, have
Speaker 1: drifted into the town. They're breaking into people's homes because
Speaker 1: they need food, they need a place to sleep. They
Speaker 1: can't just sleep on the beach. I mean, how can
Speaker 1: this nonsense go on? I mean, do we allow more
Speaker 1: invasion in New York City and they break into apartments
Speaker 1: and nobody's gonna protect.
Speaker 2: Us when you take Spain. It is our American looking
Speaker 2: glass moment. We look at what's happened to Europe, whether
Speaker 2: it's in Brussels or France or Spain. The socialist open
Speaker 2: borders society is going to prove to once again to
Speaker 2: be a failed project. The history of civilation tells us
Speaker 2: borders are important, law and order important. When you abandon
Speaker 2: those things for some romanticized view of government.
Speaker 3: Which is what the socialists and the Marxists and as.
Speaker 2: George Soros thinkers, do, you see the failure It comes
Speaker 2: in the form of economic fare. It comes in the
Speaker 2: form of death, that comes in the form of migration,
Speaker 2: that actually creates hardship for the migrants. It isn't better
Speaker 2: for the migrants. So I think eighteen of the migrants side.
Speaker 4: Twenty four, twenty four, now twenty four.
Speaker 2: Yeah, the number keeps creeping up. So everybody loses in
Speaker 2: that role.
Speaker 3: And we've known that Sisty has taught this time and
Speaker 3: time against socialisdia.
Speaker 1: If I lived in Spain, if I lived in Spain,
Speaker 1: do I have the right to protect my home? Do
Speaker 1: I have somebody's trying to break into my home? Do
Speaker 1: I have the right to shoot them? I mean, I
Speaker 1: want to know that because if John, if this happens
Speaker 1: in New York, if this happens, if we have another
Speaker 1: democratic administration and they start to invade New York, who's
Speaker 1: going to protect them.
Speaker 5: But here's a bigger problem with that. So fine, you
Speaker 5: have a firearm and people are breaking in this over
Speaker 5: sixty thousand of them. How many rounds of munitions do
Speaker 5: you think that you have? Eventually they win because you
Speaker 5: run on the.
Speaker 1: Old They limited the amount of munitions you could have
Speaker 1: in New York.
Speaker 4: Yes, yeah, Okay, every time I buy AMMO, they have
Speaker 4: to check me out.
Speaker 1: All right, So what is happening here? You know, Spain
Speaker 1: is getting invaded. I'm not going to say migrants looking
Speaker 1: for a job the military. Even Fox is saying it,
Speaker 1: military age males coming in. What does that mean? Doesn't
Speaker 1: that mean something to somebody? I mean, you're right next
Speaker 1: to the president. You have to whisper that in his ear.
Speaker 2: Well, these are important moments. He's acutely aware of it. Listen,
Speaker 2: he called out Spain when he was in Europe. The
Speaker 2: last time he sharply called out Spain. He actually warned
Speaker 2: that Spain was on a collision chorus with failure. And
Speaker 2: not about a few weeks later after the President called
Speaker 2: them out, you have this extraordinary, deadly episode. But the
Speaker 2: Europe itself has to come to grips that it is
Speaker 2: drifting away from its Western civilized roots. And the more
Speaker 2: drifts away, the more harm it has. Right now, Great
Speaker 2: Britain has an economy that's smaller than any economy in
Speaker 2: the United States. That's a sad statement. You see the
Speaker 2: rest in that country, you see it in France, you
Speaker 2: see it in Brussels. Europe is proving that democratic socialism
Speaker 2: and communism and open borders and lawlessness doesn't work.
Speaker 1: And that's why what WABC said it first. All right,
Speaker 1: w ABC said it first. And you remember, John, me
Speaker 1: and you've been on for a long time together. Yes,
Speaker 1: And the fact is that Great Britain, the real reason
Speaker 1: for Brexit was not economic. One of the real reasons
Speaker 1: was invasion. They woke up with the Brits woke up
Speaker 1: one day and they went from sixty seven percent British
Speaker 1: down to forty seven percent and they had an oh
Speaker 1: crap moment.
Speaker 2: You're exactly right. Brexit was all about illegal migration and
Speaker 2: the law the sort of the borderless dream that the
Speaker 2: Sorost world had for Europe. It's clearly proven a decade
Speaker 2: later to have been a huge failure, the lawless bordlist Acidy.
Speaker 2: But Britain itself kind of flips back and forth and
Speaker 2: it can't decide what identity it once. And I think
Speaker 2: it's at a crucial tipping point right now.
Speaker 5: Yeah, you know what, John, I just want to say,
Speaker 5: since you are there by the President's side, as you know,
Speaker 5: I was probably the closest human being to President Trump ever.
Speaker 5: I know him and I know his disposition you think
Speaker 5: that finally the Middle East is understanding that there is
Speaker 5: a expiration date on Donald Trump's patience and if they
Speaker 5: push this too far, knowing him as well as I do,
Speaker 5: this could be the end of Iran once and for all.
Speaker 5: And I have a funny feeling that's why you're starting
Speaker 5: to see, for example, Hamas and others willing to come
Speaker 5: to the table now because they know it's going to
Speaker 5: be one way or the other.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think you're onto something.
Speaker 2: I think the President gave every opportunity, every trust opportunity
Speaker 2: for Iran to build trust and show it could be
Speaker 2: a responsible member of the world community and maybe move
Speaker 2: away from its craziness.
Speaker 3: It can't he understands for tiup of.
Speaker 2: The IRGC to be crazy. I think we have a
Speaker 2: very important story this morning. I think what's going on
Speaker 2: as the President now made a decision based on the
Speaker 2: reporting of my reporters, nothing directly that I know from
Speaker 2: the President, because they still do journalism every day, that
Speaker 2: they are going to eradicate the IRGC, which is the
Speaker 2: thirty or forty thousand troops that keep the entire country
Speaker 2: pinned down. They slaughter people the second they move out.
Speaker 2: They're going to get rid of that force in such so.
Speaker 1: It is thirty to forty thousand troops, because you know,
Speaker 1: I've been saying that for a long time, and then
Speaker 1: my own some of my own reporters are refuting me. So, oh,
Speaker 1: it's one hundred and fifty thousand, he said, thirty to
Speaker 1: forty thousand. And at what point do we get the
Speaker 1: Iranian army time? At what time do we get the kurage?
Speaker 1: What time do we get civil unrest among the normal
Speaker 1: Persian people.
Speaker 2: I think that is the movement that the President is
Speaker 2: trying to create right now. So the IRGC is in
Speaker 2: at forty to fifty thousand range, there are a couple
Speaker 2: hundred thousand Iranian soldiers across them. But the elite IRGC,
Speaker 2: they're really bad dudes.
Speaker 3: Kill their own people and slaughter them.
Speaker 1: Like we saw in January, they killed thirty thousand people.
Speaker 3: They did, and without even blinking an eyelash.
Speaker 2: Or even having a moment of moral doubt that if
Speaker 2: you eradicate that group very quickly, then you have the
Speaker 2: ability for street protests to start to spread, and then
Speaker 2: a more natural revolution can occur. I think that's where
Speaker 2: the president has come to now, and when that moment
Speaker 2: of street revolution comes, perhaps you'll see some Arab and
Speaker 2: Israeli forces go in and try to help the people
Speaker 2: overthrow what's left of the government.
Speaker 3: I think, you know, the administration has learned there are
Speaker 3: civilians that seem to want to end this war.
Speaker 2: But the IRGC has them trapped. So the goal now
Speaker 2: is to eliminate the IRGC, or render it useless and
Speaker 2: unable to attack its own people and open the door
Speaker 2: for revolution. That's the story we have this morning, based
Speaker 2: on a lot of reporting. I think that's where the
Speaker 2: president is. And by the way, I don't think Iron's
Speaker 2: going to get another break. I think this time they
Speaker 2: are getting hammered into. The IRGC is one big pile
Speaker 2: of rumble.
Speaker 4: I says, I's time to throw that bucket of water
Speaker 4: on the wicked witch of the West. John Solomon from
