00:00:00.120 --> 00:00:03.439
Benjamin Ett, Yaho, meeting with President Trump for several hours
2
00:00:03.480 --> 00:00:07.080
today at the White House, the Israeli Prime Minister stressing
3
00:00:07.320 --> 00:00:11.359
Israel's security concerns as the United States has resumed talks
4
00:00:11.359 --> 00:00:14.039
with Iran and they will continue next week.
5
00:00:14.080 --> 00:00:14.240
Now.
6
00:00:14.279 --> 00:00:19.039
Moments ago, President Trump touting quote the tremendous relationship between
7
00:00:19.079 --> 00:00:23.160
the two countries and adding on truth social from the President,
8
00:00:23.480 --> 00:00:26.719
there was nothing definitive reached other than I insisted that
9
00:00:26.800 --> 00:00:30.399
negotiations with Iran continue to see whether or not a
10
00:00:30.440 --> 00:00:33.600
deal can be consummated. If it can, I let the
11
00:00:33.640 --> 00:00:36.719
Prime Minister know that will be a preference. That will
12
00:00:36.719 --> 00:00:39.039
be a preference. If it cannot, we will just have
13
00:00:39.159 --> 00:00:42.960
to see what the outcome will be. Retired for Star
14
00:00:43.000 --> 00:00:45.560
General Jack Keem joins me now chairman of the Institute
15
00:00:45.600 --> 00:00:49.679
for the Study of War and Fox News senior strategic analyst.
16
00:00:49.719 --> 00:00:52.240
General always good to have you with us. Your reaction
17
00:00:52.320 --> 00:00:58.560
to this meeting today and the statement from President Trump, Well, my.
18
00:00:58.600 --> 00:01:01.200
Actions intermedia is I'm the light that's taken place, and
19
00:01:01.200 --> 00:01:05.159
it's really quite extraordinary. MafA. And President Trump has been
20
00:01:05.200 --> 00:01:08.640
in office thirteen months and he's met with Prime Minister
21
00:01:08.719 --> 00:01:13.560
net seven times. In those thirteen months. That is completely
22
00:01:14.120 --> 00:01:17.280
unprecedented to have those kind of meetings. It reminds me
23
00:01:17.519 --> 00:01:22.480
of the Churchill Roosevelt interaction. When Churchill was in the war,
24
00:01:22.920 --> 00:01:26.400
Roosevelt was not. He was providing physical material support to him,
25
00:01:26.599 --> 00:01:30.200
to be sure, but also moral support and also intellectual
26
00:01:30.239 --> 00:01:33.040
support and how to cope with it. These two men
27
00:01:33.079 --> 00:01:37.719
truly have a relationship of partnerships that's joined by common
28
00:01:37.799 --> 00:01:42.079
interest security of Israel, to be sure, but also stability
29
00:01:42.079 --> 00:01:44.400
and peace in the Middle East, and the fact that
30
00:01:44.439 --> 00:01:48.879
there is an adversary, an enemy there, a diabolical enemy
31
00:01:48.879 --> 00:01:52.159
that wants the destruction of Israel and have had nuclear weapons,
32
00:01:52.200 --> 00:01:55.519
would likely use them. So this has brought them together
33
00:01:55.719 --> 00:01:59.439
time and time again. And I think the results of
34
00:01:59.480 --> 00:02:03.760
this meeting had twofold intent. One set a Prime minister
35
00:02:04.000 --> 00:02:07.120
to let the President know what his thoughts are about
36
00:02:07.120 --> 00:02:12.560
the negotiations, and certainly I believe he's pretty clear, as
37
00:02:13.199 --> 00:02:16.599
our president is that the goal would be no enrichment
38
00:02:16.719 --> 00:02:22.240
for nuclear certainly, reduction of ballistic missiles significantly in numbers,
39
00:02:22.240 --> 00:02:25.719
but also limit the range. And the third thing is
40
00:02:25.719 --> 00:02:31.039
no support for the proxies. Likely Roan will not even
41
00:02:31.080 --> 00:02:34.080
agree to any one of those in any subptom or
42
00:02:34.199 --> 00:02:37.360
consequential way. But I'm sure the Prime Minister wanted to
43
00:02:37.400 --> 00:02:40.520
make certain that the President heard that. And I think
44
00:02:40.560 --> 00:02:44.919
the second thing, in terms of the military option, it
45
00:02:45.000 --> 00:02:47.599
probably wanted to talk to him face to face. Likely
46
00:02:47.639 --> 00:02:50.199
somepany is done on the phone to make sure the
47
00:02:50.240 --> 00:02:54.560
President understands what an historical opportunity they have here to
48
00:02:54.719 --> 00:02:58.039
actually set the condition for regime change. There's been seven
49
00:02:58.080 --> 00:03:03.360
presidents before President Trump who had to deal with this regime.
50
00:03:03.520 --> 00:03:05.919
None of them have ever been in this position. And
51
00:03:05.960 --> 00:03:08.879
President Trump is in this position for a number of reasons. One,
52
00:03:09.479 --> 00:03:13.159
he stopped the nuclear deal in twenty eighteen. Two, he
53
00:03:13.280 --> 00:03:17.400
killed Costam Solomony in twenty twenty, the iconic figure that
54
00:03:17.479 --> 00:03:19.439
had so much to do with the death of Americans
55
00:03:19.439 --> 00:03:22.680
from eighty two all the way to just several years
56
00:03:22.680 --> 00:03:25.360
ago prior to his death. And then the third thing,
57
00:03:25.960 --> 00:03:29.560
he took action in destroy Iran's nuclear program. So here
58
00:03:29.560 --> 00:03:32.599
we are with the next step, which I think is
59
00:03:32.639 --> 00:03:36.199
more likely than not, and that is to finally take
60
00:03:36.240 --> 00:03:41.000
Iran off the board as the destabilizing adversary in the region,
61
00:03:41.199 --> 00:03:47.159
and with the potential for finally after forty six years
62
00:03:47.639 --> 00:03:50.520
to have some stability and enduring peace in the region.
63
00:03:50.960 --> 00:03:55.360
That is the historic opportunity, and I would imagine both
64
00:03:55.400 --> 00:03:58.400
of them would agree with that premise. Yeah, I just
65
00:03:58.439 --> 00:03:58.680
want to.
66
00:03:58.639 --> 00:04:01.639
Put this picture up then and now in terms of
67
00:04:01.840 --> 00:04:04.479
the images of the entrances to the major nuclear site
68
00:04:04.520 --> 00:04:07.280
at Sfahn, and you can see that it is completely
69
00:04:07.319 --> 00:04:12.199
buried in this second picture here. It really has been
70
00:04:12.280 --> 00:04:17.920
damaged so dramatically. These facilities general keen and also their
71
00:04:17.920 --> 00:04:21.519
economy is in tatters, and yet they are clearly committed
72
00:04:21.519 --> 00:04:23.720
to spending money to try to rebuild, or at least
73
00:04:23.720 --> 00:04:26.040
that's what they say they're doing. They say they're stronger
74
00:04:26.079 --> 00:04:29.079
and stronger position now to defend themselves than they were
75
00:04:29.560 --> 00:04:31.560
before those strikes. Do you believe any of that?
76
00:04:34.160 --> 00:04:36.959
Yeah, this is something you know, we're already used to
77
00:04:37.000 --> 00:04:39.680
these guys. Yeah, we've had forty six years of dealer
78
00:04:39.759 --> 00:04:42.240
with them. And when they're under pressure, Matha, this is
79
00:04:42.240 --> 00:04:46.360
what they do. They talk real, real tough, and they
80
00:04:46.480 --> 00:04:51.120
get real hard nosed about things. And you know, certainly
81
00:04:51.160 --> 00:04:53.600
they have recovered a lot of their ballistic missiles. I'm
82
00:04:53.639 --> 00:04:57.000
not minimizing that. And they have rockets, and they certainly
83
00:04:57.000 --> 00:05:00.680
have drones. But it's all something that collect actively in
84
00:05:00.720 --> 00:05:03.480
a combined attack Israel and the United States that can
85
00:05:03.519 --> 00:05:08.079
deal with. But under pressure, they rhetoric increases. There's a
86
00:05:08.120 --> 00:05:11.680
lot of bluster associated with it. And I'm glad you
87
00:05:11.759 --> 00:05:15.480
showed that there's those nuclear sites. There's not much left
88
00:05:15.519 --> 00:05:17.360
to it is a much we know about Iran when
89
00:05:17.360 --> 00:05:20.199
it comes to nuclear one. They have made the decision
90
00:05:20.240 --> 00:05:23.319
they want to recover it. They have made some site
91
00:05:23.360 --> 00:05:27.480
selection of it, and we haven't understanding collectively of where
92
00:05:27.519 --> 00:05:32.879
that is, and that's been reported publicly. So whatever attempts
93
00:05:32.959 --> 00:05:37.720
they make to recover that nuclear program, likely Israel and
94
00:05:37.759 --> 00:05:41.279
if necessary in the United States would absolutely deal with that.
95
00:05:41.319 --> 00:05:43.560
But it's not something we have to deal with in
96
00:05:43.639 --> 00:05:46.199
a near term. In a near term, we have the
97
00:05:46.439 --> 00:05:50.480
opportunity here to potentially collapse this regime once and for all.
98
00:05:50.519 --> 00:05:53.279
The other thing we know is anecdotally from what we're
99
00:05:53.319 --> 00:05:57.439
getting out of Iran and the people. After the killing
100
00:05:57.480 --> 00:06:00.160
of so many people ten to thirty thousand somewhere in
101
00:06:00.199 --> 00:06:03.079
there is a real number forty thousand in jail, the
102
00:06:03.600 --> 00:06:09.240
intensity of resentment to the regime has grown in scale.
103
00:06:09.399 --> 00:06:13.920
I'm absolutely convinced that when we apply external military pressure
104
00:06:13.959 --> 00:06:17.839
to this regime in everything that is helping to sustain
105
00:06:17.920 --> 00:06:23.120
the regime, a holistic, comprehensive approach to it. I would
106
00:06:23.120 --> 00:06:27.040
bet anything that once that hits and it's over, these
107
00:06:27.040 --> 00:06:29.759
people will be out by the tens and hundreds of
108
00:06:29.800 --> 00:06:34.319
thousands again putting pressure on whatever is left of that
109
00:06:34.399 --> 00:06:38.079
regime because they are so fed up with these guys.
110
00:06:38.639 --> 00:06:41.439
Is so true, and they feel a tipping point in
111
00:06:41.519 --> 00:06:44.199
their bones and they want it to happen. For the
112
00:06:44.199 --> 00:06:46.480
most part, the people in Iran, and we saw them
113
00:06:46.519 --> 00:06:49.600
come out in great risk to themselves and it has
114
00:06:49.680 --> 00:06:52.480
been an extraordinary moment to watch. So we'll see what
115
00:06:52.519 --> 00:06:54.399
happens here. General Jack, you know, always great to have
116
00:06:54.480 --> 00:06:56.639

killed Costam Solomony in twenty twenty, the iconic figure that
54
00:03:17.479 --> 00:03:19.439
had so much to do with the death of Americans
55
00:03:19.439 --> 00:03:22.680
from eighty two all the way to just several years
56
00:03:22.680 --> 00:03:25.360
ago prior to his death. And then the third thing,
57
00:03:25.960 --> 00:03:29.560
he took action in destroy Iran's nuclear program. So here
58
00:03:29.560 --> 00:03:32.599
we are with the next step, which I think is
59
00:03:32.639 --> 00:03:36.199
more likely than not, and that is to finally take
60
00:03:36.240 --> 00:03:41.000
Iran off the board as the destabilizing adversary in the region,
61
00:03:41.199 --> 00:03:47.159
and with the potential for finally after forty six years
62
00:03:47.639 --> 00:03:50.520
to have some stability and enduring peace in the region.
63
00:03:50.960 --> 00:03:55.360
That is the historic opportunity, and I would imagine both
64
00:03:55.400 --> 00:03:58.400
of them would agree with that premise. Yeah, I just
65
00:03:58.439 --> 00:03:58.680
want to.
66
00:03:58.639 --> 00:04:01.639
Put this picture up then and now in terms of
67
00:04:01.840 --> 00:04:04.479
the images of the entrances to the major nuclear site
68
00:04:04.520 --> 00:04:07.280
at Sfahn, and you can see that it is completely
69
00:04:07.319 --> 00:04:12.199
buried in this second picture here. It really has been
70
00:04:12.280 --> 00:04:17.920
damaged so dramatically. These facilities general keen and also their
71
00:04:17.920 --> 00:04:21.519
economy is in tatters, and yet they are clearly committed
72
00:04:21.519 --> 00:04:23.720
to spending money to try to rebuild, or at least
73
00:04:23.720 --> 00:04:26.040
that's what they say they're doing. They say they're stronger
74
00:04:26.079 --> 00:04:29.079
and stronger position now to defend themselves than they were
75
00:04:29.560 --> 00:04:31.560
before those strikes. Do you believe any of that?
76
00:04:34.160 --> 00:04:36.959
Yeah, this is something you know, we're already used to
77
00:04:37.000 --> 00:04:39.680
these guys. Yeah, we've had forty six years of dealer
78
00:04:39.759 --> 00:04:42.240
with them. And when they're under pressure, Matha, this is
79
00:04:42.240 --> 00:04:46.360
what they do. They talk real, real tough, and they
80
00:04:46.480 --> 00:04:51.120
get real hard nosed about things. And you know, certainly
81
00:04:51.160 --> 00:04:53.600
they have recovered a lot of their ballistic missiles. I'm
82
00:04:53.639 --> 00:04:57.000
not minimizing that. And they have rockets, and they certainly
83
00:04:57.000 --> 00:05:00.680
have drones. But it's all something that collect actively in
84
00:05:00.720 --> 00:05:03.480
a combined attack Israel and the United States that can
85
00:05:03.519 --> 00:05:08.079
deal with. But under pressure, they rhetoric increases. There's a
86
00:05:08.120 --> 00:05:11.680
lot of bluster associated with it. And I'm glad you
87
00:05:11.759 --> 00:05:15.480
showed that there's those nuclear sites. There's not much left
88
00:05:15.519 --> 00:05:17.360
to it is a much we know about Iran when
89
00:05:17.360 --> 00:05:20.199
it comes to nuclear one. They have made the decision
90
00:05:20.240 --> 00:05:23.319
they want to recover it. They have made some site
91
00:05:23.360 --> 00:05:27.480
selection of it, and we haven't understanding collectively of where
92
00:05:27.519 --> 00:05:32.879
that is, and that's been reported publicly. So whatever attempts
93
00:05:32.959 --> 00:05:37.720
they make to recover that nuclear program, likely Israel and
94
00:05:37.759 --> 00:05:41.279
if necessary in the United States would absolutely deal with that.
95
00:05:41.319 --> 00:05:43.560
But it's not something we have to deal with in
96
00:05:43.639 --> 00:05:46.199
a near term. In a near term, we have the
97
00:05:46.439 --> 00:05:50.480
opportunity here to potentially collapse this regime once and for all.
98
00:05:50.519 --> 00:05:53.279
The other thing we know is anecdotally from what we're
99
00:05:53.319 --> 00:05:57.439
getting out of Iran and the people. After the killing
100
00:05:57.480 --> 00:06:00.160
of so many people ten to thirty thousand somewhere in
101
00:06:00.199 --> 00:06:03.079
there is a real number forty thousand in jail, the
102
00:06:03.600 --> 00:06:09.240
intensity of resentment to the regime has grown in scale.
103
00:06:09.399 --> 00:06:13.920
I'm absolutely convinced that when we apply external military pressure
104
00:06:13.959 --> 00:06:17.839
to this regime in everything that is helping to sustain
105
00:06:17.920 --> 00:06:23.120
the regime, a holistic, comprehensive approach to it. I would
106
00:06:23.120 --> 00:06:27.040
bet anything that once that hits and it's over, these
107
00:06:27.040 --> 00:06:29.759
people will be out by the tens and hundreds of
108
00:06:29.800 --> 00:06:34.319
thousands again putting pressure on whatever is left of that
109
00:06:34.399 --> 00:06:38.079
regime because they are so fed up with these guys.
110
00:06:38.639 --> 00:06:41.439
Is so true, and they feel a tipping point in
111
00:06:41.519 --> 00:06:44.199
their bones and they want it to happen. For the
112
00:06:44.199 --> 00:06:46.480
most part, the people in Iran, and we saw them
113
00:06:46.519 --> 00:06:49.600
come out in great risk to themselves and it has
114
00:06:49.680 --> 00:06:52.480
been an extraordinary moment to watch. So we'll see what
115
00:06:52.519 --> 00:06:54.399
happens here. General Jack, you know, always great to have
