U.S. Special Envoy Steve Witkoff says the Iranians began the pre-Operation Epic Fury negotiations with a particular pride-basis.

7. 0:20God has called you and me to be His ambassador.
8. 0:24Even in this dark moment.
9. 0:26Let's not miss our moment.
10. 0:28and now the Hamilton Corner.
11. 0:33Good evening everyone, welcome to the Hamilton Corner.
12. 0:35My name is Abraham Hamilton the third.
13. 0:38I'm the host of the program joined by the Corner Contingent
14. 0:41right across from me, my man, 100 grand.
15. 0:44Mr. Bobby, Rosa is in the studio with us
16. 0:50and in the screening room.
17. 0:52Produced extraordinaire often imitated,
18. 0:54never duplicated the real Jay Mack, ladies and gentlemen,
19. 0:58is in the screening room.
20. 0:59and Mr. Bun is in the screening room.
21. 1:04If you see us out on the road, you might see him.
22. 1:09He's everywhere, he's everywhere.
23. 1:11Yeah, he's truly, he might be in the massage, I don't know.
24. 1:16CIA massage, you might be pumping gas,
25. 1:20he'll show up when you pumping gas.
26. 1:22He's putting that phone booth.
27. 1:23We're ready to rock and roll with the day's edition
28. 1:26of the program at this very moment.
29. 1:28Many of you, if not most of you are making your transitions
30. 1:30from your part-time job, where you generate an income
31. 1:33to your full time jobs where you cultivate an outcome.
32. 1:36And as you do so, I want to remind you to do so with intentionality, understanding the
33. 1:41primacy that God places on, family, and allowing that to govern and God your engagement in
34. 1:52your home.
35. 1:53So we are in a state of war in our nation.
36. 1:55I mean, that's just what it is.
37. 1:58It still rings true that what goes on in your house is more important than what goes on
38. 2:02in the White House because you are directly responsible and accountable for the decisions
39. 2:07you make in your home and for your families.
40. 2:11The President is responsible for the decisions he makes in 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue or if
41. 2:17he does it from Pennsylvania Avenue extended in Mar-a-Lago, you and I are responsible for
42. 2:23what goes on in our homes.
43. 2:26And we cannot afford to allow the things that are happening nationally and internationally
44. 2:31to divert our attentions to such a degree to where we are neglectful, concerning the
45. 2:38things that God has entrusted to our care.
46. 2:40It is a primary election day in the state of Texas, to all of our Texas listeners and
47. 2:47viewers.
48. 2:48I hope that you have or are making your way to cast your ballot if you have not done so
49. 2:54already.
50. 2:55It's a very important elections that are happening there.
51. 3:00Let's see, I got something right here.
52. 3:08Yes, it's vitally important for us to be engaged and want to be engaged exactly where
53. 3:20you are.
54. 3:25That's correct.
55. 3:26So many things are swirling right now and I have several, several thoughts percolating
56. 3:39all at once.
57. 3:41We cannot afford to allow ourselves to be moved off of the basis that God has for us.
58. 3:53Let us turn to the Word of God.
59. 3:54Joshua chapter 24 is where we're going to focus today at this part of the program.
60. 4:14In Joshua 23 you'll find that as Joshua really is preparing to be off, will be off of the
61. 4:23scene soon.
62. 4:24He addresses the leadership in Israel in chapter 23.
63. 4:30And then in chapter 24 he expands his address to the entire people, all the people's visual.
64. 4:39In fact in chapter 24 verse 1 it literally says Joshua gathered all the tribes of Israel.
65. 4:46Here's chapter 23, chapter 23, he addressed the leadership in Israel.
66. 4:58In addressing the tribes, all the tribes of Israel in chapter 24, it would seem as he had
67. 5:03just led the people of Israel through what could only be described as just a miraculous
68. 5:09campaign, really, and moving into the promised land.
69. 5:17And you would think, I would think, some of the things that he said here would not have
70. 5:23needed to be said.
71. 5:24I would think surely, surely not at this at this juncture, having witnessed all that you
72. 5:30just witnessed, experienced all that you just experienced, certainly there should be full
73. 5:36persuasion, confidence, and resolution.
74. 5:38But that was not the case.
75. 5:40In chapter 24, the first, I guess, 13 verses or so, Joshua goes on to to provide a bit of
76. 5:47a bit of a history lesson, explaining all the things that Yahweh had done for them and through
77. 5:56them and provided for them.
78. 5:59And then he comes to verse 14, and I want you to notice the specific references that are made
79. 6:05there, because I believe they're instructive for us.
80. 6:09Following the history lesson of showing all that God has done for them, even saying how
81. 6:14the Lord has allowed you to inherit cities that you had not built, to eat the fruit of vineyards,
82. 6:19that you had not planted all of yards, that you had not orchids, I'm sorry, that you had not
83. 6:26planted.
84. 6:27And then look at verses 14 and 15.
85. 6:32Joshua's continuing to speak, he says, now therefore fear the Lord and serve Him in sincerity
86. 6:42and faithfulness.
87. 6:44Some translations might say reverence and true devotion.
88. 6:48Look at what he says next.
89. 6:51away the gods that your fathers served beyond the river and in Egypt, beyond the river and
90. 7:03in Egypt and serve the Lord.
91. 7:07And if it is evil in your eyes to serve the Lord, choose this day whom you will serve,
92. 7:12whether the gods of, whether the gods your father served in the region beyond the river
93. 7:18or the gods of the Amorites in whose land you dwell.
94. 7:23But as for me and my house, we will serve the Lord.
95. 7:27Now, many, many of us recall the very last phrase
96. 7:32in verse 15, 24, 15, choose you this day
97. 7:35who you serve as for me and my house,
98. 7:36we will serve the Lord.
99. 7:37But I don't want you to miss the context
100. 7:39that that profound declaration by Joshua is made.
101. 7:46I don't want you to miss the context there.
102. 7:50Remember when Joshua is making this address,
103. 7:52he's addressing the second generation
104. 7:55of wilderness Israelites.
105. 7:57These are people who have witnessed
106. 8:01their immediate ancestors pass away in the wilderness.
107. 8:05Remember following the spies with the bat report,
108. 8:08the only people who lived to enter the Promised Land
109. 8:13who were adults at that time over the particular age
110. 8:17were Joshua and Caleb, remember?
111. 8:21Everyone else.
112. 8:24All of the other adults who are exceeded the particular age
113. 8:28as identified in the scripture,
114. 8:30they passed away in the wilderness.
115. 8:33So you are talking to the second generation of people,
116. 8:35some of the people were born in the wilderness,
117. 8:37some of them were children and they're now adults,
118. 8:40but they have witnessed a pillar of cloud by day,
119. 8:43witnessed a pillar of fire by night,
120. 8:44they witnessed water coming from the rock
121. 8:47in different sources, they witnessed all of these
122. 8:50various things.
123. 8:51Yet, in addition to that, these are the ones who also experienced when they crossed the
124. 8:59Jordan for the very first time, and that is the river that is mentioned here, when they
125. 9:02crossed the Jordan for the very first time, they witnessed, when they crossed the Jordan
126. 9:07for the very first time, and they ate the fruit of the land in the Promised Land.
127. 9:13The Bible says that the man deceased, these people whom Joshua was addressing, experienced
128. 9:20all of that. And it is to these people, Joshua says, now therefore fear the Lord and serve him
129. 9:31in reverence and true devotion or in sincerity and faithfulness. It is to these people, Joshua says,
130. 9:38put away the God's lower case gene that your Father served beyond the river. Guys, this is not
131. 9:46not only talking about an idolatry that existed in Egypt, Joshua is talking about an idolatry
132. 9:53that existed amongst the people of Israel prior to crossing the Jordan River.
133. 9:59Think about that.
134. 10:03Think about that.
135. 10:04Think about this is a people who they are post-Red Sea Exodus.
136. 10:10They're a post-seeing the Egyptians that were before you, you will see no more.
137. 10:15They experienced that, yet there was still a contingent who persisted in an idolatry that
138. 10:22Joshua says, are you all ready now?
139. 10:25After we've had this amazing Promised Land conquest that we've experienced to date, are you ready
140. 10:31now to put away the lowercase G's that your parents served before we crossed the Jordan
141. 10:37River?
142. 10:39Guys, that's a striking thing to consider.
143. 10:45That is striking.
144. 10:48How is this possible?
145. 10:51all that they've experienced with Yahweh's provision in grace and potency and deliverance,
146. 10:58and you still had some flirting with idolatry.
147. 11:04This is what Joshua was pointing out, and he doesn't say it just once.
148. 11:08Put away the lower case g-gods that your father served beyond the river and in Egypt.
149. 11:19That's a time period that predates the Exodus.
150. 11:26them away and serve the Lord. Verse 15, and if it is evil in your eyes to serve the Lord,
151. 11:32choose this day whom you will serve, whether the God's lower case G that your Father served
152. 11:39in the region beyond the river. That's on the other side, on the other side of the Jordan
153. 11:49River or the gods of the Amorites. But that's for me and my house we will serve the Lord.
154. 11:57Guys, I'm pointing this out because it's very easy, very easy to be comfortable and familiar
155. 12:16with the acts and the works of God to where we kind of ease into a comfortable idolatry of various sorts.
156. 12:25And the 21st century is very few people in the United States of America who are
157. 12:30are worshiping astropoles and statues.
158. 12:40But in many ways, man, we have relative idols
159. 12:47who snuff out the vitality of our Christ following.
160. 12:53It is not natural to fall in Adam to be devoted
161. 12:57to the King of Kings and the Lord of Lords.
162. 12:59That is not natural, which is why we must be intentional.
163. 13:03The Apostle Paul said to Timothy,
164. 13:05train oneself for godliness.
165. 13:11I communicated as I did yesterday because I understand the fervor that surrounds, you know, warfare and politics.
166. 13:18We have the midterms. We have all these things swirling around us.
167. 13:21But I communicated as I did just simply remind us, man, that God rules and reigns in the affairs of men.
168. 13:29And we must not allow the fervor surrounding the events that are percolating on the world stage right now
169. 13:36to encroach upon our proper perspective,
170. 13:40concerning who we are and who we are.
171. 13:43This is why I am urging, urging prayer,
172. 13:48specifically for our nation's leaders,
173. 13:52prayer for the Church of the Living God and our nation,
174. 13:55because this is a pivotal time in our nation's history.
175. 13:59There are forces that are pulling against one another,
176. 14:03and this is a critical, very, very critical juncture
177. 14:06that I really believe that what happens in our nation and this juncture will set the course
178. 14:12for what transpires in the next years and decades that follow. We should not look winkingly at how
179. 14:26the Lord had garnered the attention of our nation and how hundreds of millions of people heard the
180. 14:31gospel at Charlie Kirk's funeral and look at the things that are unfolded and unfolded and
181. 14:37in our nation thereafter.
182. 14:39And now we have the award I ran, Operation Epic Fury,
183. 14:45the people of God, we must approach this season
184. 14:48on our faces, man.
185. 14:57A discipleship minute with Joseph Parker.
186. 15:00I was recently in conversation with another pastor
187. 15:02and we were discussing the issue of some of the new stories
188. 15:06about youth in our culture and nation.
189. 15:09The pastor remarked, I've been praying and asking the Lord
190. 15:12for what to do about all that's going on
191. 15:15with our youth, without question we're wise to pray
192. 15:18and ask for wisdom and addressing most any problem
193. 15:20in our world.
194. 15:22God in his word always have an answer
195. 15:24for every challenge we can possibly face.
196. 15:27The answer to the challenges we face with our youth
197. 15:29isn't complicated.
198. 15:31In fact, the answer is much more simple
199. 15:34than we may wish to admit.
200. 15:36The answer to the problems in our culture
201. 15:38for all that's going on amongst our youth is Jesus.
202. 15:42Our children need to know Jesus Christ.
203. 15:45And our children and youth need to be discipled in their faith.
204. 15:48They need to be taught and trained to read the Word of God and walk in its wisdom.
205. 16:01Shiting light into the darkness, this is the Hamilton Corner, an American family radio.
206. 16:08Welcome back to the Hamilton Corner, Abraham, Hamilton III here.
207. 16:12Oh man.
208. 16:14You probably can tell.
209. 16:17I just, I have a cautiously optimistic yet
210. 16:24pensive disposition because of all of the things
211. 16:26that are happening and there's lots of information coming in
212. 16:31and things updates are coming in rapidly, quickly.
213. 16:33And so there's a lot going on.
214. 16:35There's a lot going on.
215. 16:37Let me take a few moments now to mention,
216. 16:39mention March 27th through the 29th.
217. 16:44I will be joining several others
218. 16:47at the Kingdom Com Conference. This will be in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. It is the conference
219. 16:55is being hosted at Coleridge Presbyterian Church. This is a church that was founded by
220. 17:03the late D. James Kennedy. And this is a conference that I am really, really, really looking forward
221. 17:11to primarily because I want to hear some of the other people who will be presenting.
222. 17:17But in addition to hearing them, I really believe that this is a time where God is allowing
223. 17:28His message to be conveyed with a clarity and with an urgency to keep the main thing the main
224. 17:39thing.
225. 17:40You know, I'm honored to be speaking at a conference where our Skinness will be presenting,
226. 17:48sorry, Butterfield, Butterfield will be presenting. David Bonson will be presenting many, many others.
227. 17:55Will be there if you're in the area or you're able to come to the area in Florida, because
228. 18:00I get a lot of Floridians. Hey, when you're coming over here, well, here we go. Later this
229. 18:05month, you know, we're only a few weeks away from that now, March 27th through the 29th.
230. 18:11The subtitle for the conference is Kingdom Citizenship. What is it? What is the scripture
231. 18:17require for those of us who are citizens of the eternal Kingdom of God, who have also been
232. 18:22blessed to be citizens of the United States of America, what does God require of us in
233. 18:27this moment is going to be an amazing time. If you're in the area I'd love to see you
234. 18:32there will then come to the area. You're welcome to attend this conference. It's going to be
235. 18:37an amazing time. Pastor Rob Passienzia is hosting it. He is the host of the conference. We'll
236. 18:43also record some things while there's going to be a great time.
237. 18:48All right.
238. 18:51Some of you might have seen this information.
239. 18:53Some of you may not have seen this information, but you as special envoy Steve Whitcoff seemed
240. 18:58to confirm some of the things I was sharing with you guys before what I shared with you
241. 19:02yesterday.
242. 19:03One thing in particular was the offer from the United States of America to provide low
243. 19:10level nuclear fuel to the Iranian regime in negotiations to which the Iranians flat rejected.
244. 19:18And in fact, a special envoy, Whitcalf shared some inside information because he and Jared
245. 19:26Kushner were the persons negotiating on behalf of the United States of America with the Iranians
246. 19:33through the representatives in Oman through the leadership in Oman and Steve Whitcough,
247. 19:41this is amazing. This is amazing to learn what I was trying to see. But according to
248. 19:52representative to special envoy Steve Whitcough, the Iranians began the negotiations, I mean literally
249. 19:59to set set the frame for the conversation by basically bragging somewhat proudly about
250. 20:10the fact that they still had, you got to hear him say this in his own words, 460 kilograms
251. 20:18of 60% enriched uranium enough to make 11 nuclear bombs and was somewhat proud of the
252. 20:26fact that they had been able to evade all kinds of checks and accountability efforts and even even
253. 20:35saying that they had access to this and they're saying this that these words weren't the words used
254. 20:41but saying this even following Operation Midnight Hammer was almost proud of the fact
255. 20:47that yeah by the way we have this. I want you to hear Steve Whitcoff and his own words
256. 20:54Listen to him watch his clip number four, clip four, go.
257. 20:57And let me say this because I forgot this small little detail.
258. 21:01In that first meeting, both the Iranian negotiators said to us directly with no shame that they
259. 21:11controlled 460 kilograms of 60 percent, and they're aware that that could make 11 nuclear
260. 21:17bombs, and that was the beginning of the negotiating stance.
261. 21:23So that's, that's, they were, they were proud of it.
262. 21:25They were proud that they had evaded all sorts of oversight protocols to get to a place where
263. 21:31they could deliver 11 nuclear bombs.
264. 21:36What?
265. 21:37What?
266. 21:38That's the exact question I have, Pastor Carl.
267. 21:45Why would they say that?
268. 21:48Now anybody who's ever done any negotiations, you know, any negotiations you often want
269. 21:52to frame the negotiation.
270. 21:57If this is true and Steve Whitcough went on to explain that the Iranians did this to frame
271. 22:08negotiations on their behalf to basically convey that any efforts to negotiate a deal
272. 22:17that perpetually precluded the Iranians, and this is this is this is this is so funny.
273. 22:24The Iranians intentionally chose their terminology.
274. 22:27They said, according to Steve Whitcoff, they said to him that we, the Iranians have an in
275. 22:33alienable right to enrich uranium to whatever levels we desire.
276. 22:39They sought to adopt the language of our Declaration of Independence to convey to the US delegation
277. 22:47just how committed they were to maintaining their capacity to enrich uranium.
278. 22:59Now, just as I said yesterday and I took my time to display clear objectives because there's
279. 23:07so many people honestly lying that are saying, well, there's no clear objectives.
280. 23:11They are objective.
281. 23:12You disagree with it.
282. 23:13Just say you disagree with it, but don't say they don't exist and they have not been articulated
283. 23:17with clarity repeatedly.
284. 23:19Similarly, with this statement by Steve Whitcalf, you can say you don't believe this statement.
285. 23:26That's fine.
286. 23:30But you cannot deny that Steve Whitcalf was one of the people who president Trump tasked
287. 23:34with negotiating on behalf of the United States with the Iranians.
288. 23:38Steve Whitcalf is saying that they told him to start the negotiations.
289. 23:44And to our credit, we had subsequent meetings with the Iranians following this.
290. 23:50But it was apparent to Steve Whitcalf who was joined by Jerry Kushner following that meeting
291. 23:56that, ooh, this is not going to go how we would like this to go.
292. 24:04Now again, you can say you don't believe the statement was made.
293. 24:08That's perfectly fine.
294. 24:10But if this is true that the Iranian delegation began the negotiations by referring to in a
295. 24:19somewhat proud manner, their ability to skirt any level, any efforts to hold them accountable
296. 24:26to keep them from doing what they want to do and an effort to show, hey, we're going
297. 24:30to do it.
298. 24:31that, that, that what you did with your bunker busters with Operation Midnight Hammer was
299. 24:35going to keep us from doing what we're going to do.
300. 24:37We still have enough for 11 bombs right now.
301. 24:42So we're just going to start this party off saying that right off the gate.
302. 24:45If that is true, how would that impact your perception of Operation Epic Fury?
303. 24:57The president has said he sent the special envoy in the U.S. delegation to see whether
304. 25:02Whether or not the Iranians were willing to negotiate.
305. 25:05The purposes of the negotiations were to keep the Iranians from getting a nuclear weapon
306. 25:09and to limit, as I said yesterday, raising Keynes said it, limit Iran's ability to project
307. 25:16strength beyond its borders.
308. 25:18The projection of strength beyond its national borders includes nuclear capacities, yes,
309. 25:23but also conventional ballistic capacity.
310. 25:27The Iranians in the years following the Islamic Revolution, they have used bullying and
311. 25:33neighbors around to kind of gain momentum in that region for a long time.
312. 25:39If that is true that they came in the door saying, by the way, all the stuff that y'all
313. 25:50been doing, all of the sanctions, all of the sanctioning, all of the things that have been
314. 25:54going on, all of the espionage, all of the efforts to stop us from doing it, none of those
315. 25:58things have been effective to keep us from doing what we want to do because we have an
316. 26:01inalienable right. We have an inalienable right to pursue enriched uranium, specifically for
317. 26:11weaponization purposes. This is our right to which I want to find exact quote because there
318. 26:18was a response to that inalienable right comment that I had in my my stack. Where is that?
319. 26:29Yes. Yes, to which Whitcalf responds, and the United States has an inalienable right to stop
320. 26:37you did in your tracks
321. 26:44uh... that that that is uh...
322. 26:46very interesting
323. 26:47in accordance with cough with that opening solvo from iranians both he and
324. 26:51jerry kushner look at each other make eye contact they realized
325. 26:55uh... this this this is going to be
326. 26:59this is going to be
327. 27:00a lot more challenging than we thought
328. 27:04it would be
329. 27:09now
330. 27:12that that man. I'm telling that's some delusion, man, to come in and in a meeting and that's
331. 27:16how you're going to start it. So now you probably have seen President Trump has been
332. 27:19posting on social media. The Iranians want to talk now. Now they wanted to go. So as President
333. 27:24Trump has said too late, time for talking is over. We, we tried to talk. You guys came
334. 27:30in blustering again. If this is true, you guys came in blustering saying what that this
335. 27:34is a non-negotiable that you're not going to allow any effort to kind of get you off the
336. 27:40the path of Richard Uranium, you're not going to allow any diminishing of your
337. 27:43ballistic capacity. All right. Then here we go. The regime that shouted death to
338. 27:49America, the death to Israel. We know how that planned, panned out and they know
339. 27:57now, they know 72 virgins waiting on them, by the way, they know now, they know now.
340. 28:02And it just goes to show you as well, man, like, why would you perceive
341. 28:09something like that as being a reward if you're trying to be a more upstand?
342. 28:13Anyway, I'm not even getting into beating that right now, but like you're more on an
343. 28:16upstanding and this is your reward.
344. 28:18Heatonism is your reward.
345. 28:20Anyway, moving right along.
346. 28:26So we know we have reports that the top 49 Iranian officials, including the former Ayatollah,
347. 28:33were all deleted in the earliest salvo from Operation Epic Fury.
348. 28:41we get reports today that Iran's senior leadership, the senior clerics were gathering.
349. 28:51They gathered in their assimilative experts in a building in calm.
350. 28:57I might not be pronouncing the city's name properly right outside near Tehran.
351. 29:02And they were gathering to select the next Ayatollah.
352. 29:10And Israel knew exactly where they were meeting and when they were meeting.
353. 29:17And you want to know what happened?
354. 29:18two and watch clip number five clip 5 go.
355. 29:22We're learning Israeli forces struck in
356. 29:25Iranian Supreme Council gathering today as the group was meeting to choose a successor
357. 29:30to the late Ayatollah Ali Khamenei senior Israeli officials telling this to Fox News.
358. 29:36We also do know Fox News as Trey Ying's reported the update on live on Fox this morning as
359. 29:42well saying the move quote speaks to the Israeli intelligence about this war.
360. 29:47the next time they just targeted the meeting in Tehran where what's left of the leadership
361. 29:53was gathering to choose a new supreme leader and there's that post there from Trey Yangst.
362. 30:00So while in according to the reports that we have that Israel struck at the very time that
363. 30:07they were tallying the votes for the next Ayatollah that is wild man that is wild not
364. 30:21not only for the mission, precision, and execution capacity, but even for the statement, for
365. 30:29the statement, no, no, you don't understand, we went out and abide another apocalyptic
366. 30:37jihadist to be the leader of the Persian people.
367. 30:46This, I got it, man, that is while they are tallying the votes for the next Ayatollah.
368. 30:58And that is remarkable to consider, man.
369. 31:06That is remarkable to consider while it's happening.
370. 31:10And it's remarkable how it is happening.
371. 31:16I'm going to share, I'm getting close to this break.
372. 31:18Maybe I'll start it now.
373. 31:21I'll go into it.
374. 31:23When you see the depth of the expertise that is involved in the intelligence gathering operations
375. 31:32in the collaborative work between the United States of America and Israel and the Mossad
376. 31:36in particular, man, it is remarkable.
377. 31:39So I'll start this now.
378. 31:42We now have reports because you have the joint efforts by the U.S. and Israel.
379. 31:49We have reports that Mossad operatives hacked into Tehran's traffic camera network to spy
380. 31:58on the former Ayatollah and other top Iranian officials and they've been doing
381. 32:07this for years. The Mossad agent says I'm so familiar with Tehran I know Tehran
382. 32:13just as well just as well as I know Jerusalem. I'll go more into the details
383. 32:20of this report. I mean this is this this is mind-blowing to learn of these
384. 32:25capacities which is why it's also just ridiculous for that Iranian show up and
385. 32:34say, hey, by the way, we're going to start this meeting off
386. 32:36by saying we were able to skirt all of the sanctions
387. 32:39and all this other stuff because we have an inalienable right
388. 32:42to enrich uranium to our heart's content.
389. 32:54If we lose this cultural war, we're
390. 32:56going to have a hedonistic humanistic society.

401. 33:43Next time on Turning Point
402. 33:45530 AM and 7PM Central on American Family Radio.
403. 33:49The Hamilton Quarter Podcast and One-Minute Common Terrets
404. 34:00are available at AFR.net.
405. 34:02Back to the Hamilton Quarter on American Family Radio.
406. 34:06Welcome back to the Hamilton Corner, Abraham Hamilton the third here.
407. 34:10So what I was explaining, the Messiah was able to hack Tehran's traffic
408. 34:15camera network to spy on Ayatollah, the former Ayatollah, and other his bodyguards and other
409. 34:23top Iranian officials.
410. 34:27But here's the thing, and people need to understand this.
411. 34:30The traffic camera network was set up by the Iranians initially to spy on their own citizens.
412. 34:39So the Messiah didn't create the spy network via the cameras.
413. 34:46They hacked the network that the Iranians established
414. 34:51to spy on their own citizens.
415. 34:55So by hacking into the traffic camera network,
416. 34:59the massage gave Israel access
417. 35:02to nearly every camera in the city of Tehran.
418. 35:08And Israel used this for years, guys,
419. 35:12to gather intelligence,
420. 35:13to learn the movements of the top Iranian officials,
421. 35:17to learn where they parked their cars
422. 35:20when they went to Khomeini's compound,
423. 35:22where they did things that they said one camera angle
424. 35:25proved especially helpful because it allowed the ages
425. 35:28to track where the bodyguards parked their personal cars
426. 35:31when they arrived at the Supreme Leader's compound
427. 35:33on Pastor Street in the heart of Tehran.
428. 35:44Because this is remarkable, guys.
429. 35:48I mean, when you consider this type of capacity
430. 35:51and with the pages to the terrorists
431. 35:54and you know, guys, this is another level.
432. 35:58This is another level.
433. 36:00And so they worked that combined with the CIA having assets on the ground to confirm in person.
434. 36:07They, yep, they're all in the room.
435. 36:12And that led to that.
436. 36:14That's just that.
437. 36:15That is just remarkable to consider, man.
438. 36:18That is remarkable to consider.
439. 36:20Now, as I said yesterday, we're still early on in this process.
440. 36:25I am hopeful and I'm not fearful, not because of anybody's practical, technical expertise
441. 36:33and skill because my faith is in the Lord, but I'm also cautious.
442. 36:38And as I said yesterday, anybody who says they knew for a fact what will happen going forward,
443. 36:44that's just not true.
444. 36:45That's not true.
445. 36:47It would be, in my view, a glaring failure if the leadership in Iran returns to apocalyptic
446. 36:58Shia, demonically inspired annihilationists.
447. 37:05That would be exceedingly problematic.
448. 37:09And I know for a fact, not based on anybody's opinions or anybody's conjecture, based on
449. 37:14activity, I know for a fact Israel believes that same thing.
450. 37:19That is why they took out the candidates to be the candidate be the next Ayatollah.
451. 37:30So it is prayer for consideration.
452. 37:34There are some who take issue with the explanations from the administration.
453. 37:38I have no reason to doubt what's being reported to us.
454. 37:41I know for almost 50 years the Iranians have shouted death to America.
455. 37:47So when Marco Rubio says that it will have a strike, we learned that a strike was imminent
456. 37:52and we know that the Iranians would immediately take aim at our people.
457. 37:58I don't have any reason to doubt that.
458. 38:00And another thing that we need to be aware of, and I haven't spent as much time talking
459. 38:02about this yet, but I plan to in the next few days, when you see the retaliations from
460. 38:08the Iranians, notice that they are taking aim at population centers, civilian population
461. 38:13centers.
462. 38:14They're hitting hotels and let me just make it easy.
463. 38:19The type of places, if that was Israel, you'd have people going to the UN talk about genocide.
464. 38:24You know what I'm saying?
465. 38:27But it's amazing that you have these people firing off missiles and things, aiming them
466. 38:34and hitting hotels.
467. 38:43And as Secretary Marco Rubio said, and this is a weekend Iran.
468. 38:46This is how a weekend Iran response.
469. 38:48Can you imagine if they were not as weakened?
470. 38:52All right.
471. 38:55I'm a pivot away from the international issues for a moment and discuss some domestic things
472. 39:08yesterday.
473. 39:11The U.S. Supreme Court ruled in the Mira Belly versus Bonta case out of California.
474. 39:16Honestly, guys, I'm sick to my stomach that a case like this has to make it all the way
475. 39:22to the Supreme Court.
476. 39:25I guess I covered this stuff enough that this stuff shouldn't still affect me the way that
477. 39:30it does, but it's further evidence of what I was saying about the various forces within
478. 39:34our own country that are pulling at the seams at our own country.
479. 39:40In 2024, California's Governor, Gavin Ito New Salini signed a bill 1955, I mean AB, assembly
480. 39:50bill 1955.
481. 39:52This is a bill among other things that made it illegal.
482. 39:57Hear me well, guys.
483. 39:58Made it illegal for school officials, administrators and teachers to inform parents if they learned
484. 40:09that a child made a heterodox sexual identity claim or claim to be transgender.
485. 40:18AB 1955 made it illegal.
486. 40:21You know what I'm saying?
487. 40:22Made it illegal for a teacher to tell the child's parents.
488. 40:27Now imagine you're a teacher and you have a nine year old, a 10 year old, 12 year old comes up to you and tells you,
489. 40:32you know what, I no longer identify as a boy.
490. 40:35I'm a girl.
491. 40:36In the law passed by the state legislature signed by the governor says you can't tell
492. 40:42that child's parent.
493. 40:46Yep.
494. 40:47That's what the law said, y'all.
495. 40:50Has the law said parents got attorneys to sue the state of California and among the relief
496. 40:58they sought was injunctive relief and junction.
497. 41:04And injunction is a preliminary interruption of the law going into effect because the litigants
498. 41:11will say, no, no, this is such a serious matter that we have to keep this from going into effect,
499. 41:17because if this law is gone, it's allowed to take effect and it's later deemed to be unconstitutional,
500. 41:22the damage that it will do is irreparable, you know, the kind of damage like a young girl
501. 41:29who cut off healthy tissue, that kind of damage.
502. 41:34So the parents sued and said, no, this law needs to be enjoined, which means it needs to
503. 41:39be stopped from going into effect.
504. 41:42The lower court granted the injunction, the nice circuit court of appeals reversed.
505. 41:46The injunction said, no, no, we can let the law go into effect.
506. 41:49You can still bring your lawsuit, but the law needs to be able to continue to play out.
507. 41:53We won't stop this.
508. 41:54And so the Supreme Court accepted the appeal, the emergency appeal to say, no, no, this needs
509. 42:01to be heard because the potential of this could be an emergency in a six to three decision.
510. 42:14And I really have no stomach for the fact that you have three people on the highest court
511. 42:20in our country who would say, that's not an emergency.
512. 42:25In the 63 decision, the Supreme Court overturned the Ninth Circuit's decision to allow the law
513. 42:32to take effect.
514. 42:33Listen to and watch clip number three, clip three, go.
515. 42:37The ruling comes after religious parents and educators represented by the Thomas Moore Society
516. 42:42challenged California school policies aimed at preventing staff from disclosing a student's
517. 42:47gender identity.
518. 42:49That decision temporarily blocks for now a state law that bans automatic parental notification
519. 42:54requirements if students change their pronouns or gender expression at school.
520. 42:59The Thomas Moore Society called the decision a major victory for parents, saying the court
521. 43:04found California's policy likely violates constitutional right.
522. 43:09Erwin Czemmerinsky with UC Berkeley School of Law says this is an emergency ruling.
523. 43:14This law is now put on hold, so what it means is that schools can require that teachers and
524. 43:21other staff inform parents about the gender identity or gender pronouns of children.
525. 43:28It's funny here in Erwin Czemmerinsky because he wrote at least one of my textbooks for law
526. 43:34school. You know, it, that's right. It says to, and Lord help us. How, how, how are there
527. 43:44three Supreme Court justices? And you have Justice Katajibrauen Jackson, who is a mother
528. 43:48herself, right? Atlantic Hagan doesn't have any children, I don't believe. And the sultimaya
529. 43:57you're having each other, she doesn't have any children either. So that may help us get
530. 44:03a little bit more insight as to why they might not find this to be as much of an emergency.
531. 44:11Now I want to say something categorically because this is technically and legally true that this
532. 44:15only applies to the injunction.
533. 44:24So the case is still being litigated on the merits, but this pertains only to the emergency
534. 44:30status of the injunction.
535. 44:32The Supreme Court said, yes, this is an emergency.
536. 44:36If you allow a state to prohibit school teachers and administrators and officials, and by the
537. 44:42way, there were teachers in California that wanted that sought to join the parents in
538. 44:47the lawsuit because they said, we don't want to be bound by law.
539. 44:50That says, if a child comes to me telling me that they're sexually confused, that I can't
540. 44:54call their parents.
541. 44:55I can't tell their parents.
542. 44:56Guys, this is insane.
543. 44:59This is insane.
544. 45:06And Gavinito, New Salini, sign that with not a hesitation.
545. 45:15I am grateful that sanity prevailed at the Supreme Court, but I am simultaneously grieved
546. 45:25that we have an entire state legislature that will have a bill that goes through the process.
547. 45:31And you have all of these elected officials in California.
548. 45:33Yeah, yeah.
549. 45:34I think this is a good idea.
550. 45:36Yeah, yeah.
551. 45:37The child comes out.
552. 45:38Yeah, they don't need to tell their parents.
553. 45:40And then, yeah, we need to pass a law that makes it illegal for the school officials to tell
554. 45:44their parents.
555. 45:46Guys, think about that.
556. 45:47It would have been illegal according to the California state law for the teacher to tell
557. 45:55the parent, hey, Johnny came to school today and he told me that all the children need to
558. 46:00call him Jenny.
559. 46:01You couldn't, God, that's insane.
560. 46:06That's just insane.
561. 46:09In the majority opinion, it was a procuring opinion, the court stated, quote, the parents
562. 46:14who assert a free exercise claim have a sincere religious belief, have sincere religious beliefs
563. 46:18about sex and gender and they feel a religious obligation to raise their children in accordance
564. 46:23with those beliefs. California's policies violate those beliefs. Justice Elena Kagan,
565. 46:31who I will reiterate, who does not have any children, she said, quote, if nothing else,
566. 46:37then she was one of the dissenters. So she was one of the ones who thought California
567. 46:40should be allowed to put this law into place to keep teachers and administrators at schools
568. 46:45at public schools in California from being able to tell the parents if their child comes
569. 46:51school confused. Atlantic Kagan says, quote, if nothing else, this court owes it to a sovereign
570. 46:58state to avoid throwing over its policies in a slapdash way. If the court can provide normal
571. 47:03procedures and throwing over states policy is what the court does today. Atlantic Kagan,
572. 47:07excuse me, ma'am, have several seats. Have several seats. Guys, this is another reason
573. 47:16why I'm saying we need to be vigilant in crying out to the Lord and being obedient to
574. 47:20him. Because yes, my God's grace, my wife and I, we are disciplining our children from
575. 47:25my home, but I got neighbors, man. I care what was happening with my neighbors. Guys, that's evil.
576. 47:32That's straight out of the Marxist playbook to sever the ball between parents and children.
577. 47:38And you have a recent modern Gavinito New Salini example of their willingness to do so,
578. 47:44all in the name of ideological fidelity. Man, that's evil. That is evil. And yet I have to come here
579. 47:57and say, and by the way, this is a temporary phenomenon concerned in this law because there
580. 48:02is still litigation concerned in the law itself, the merits of the law. This Supreme Court action
581. 48:08only applies to the emergency status of the injunction. And yet in the highest court in
582. 48:15our country, we have three people with lifetime tenure who don't see the necessity of parents
583. 48:22being the ones who determine such foundational and formational realities for their own children
584. 48:30like their identities.
585. 48:36This is the pulling at the seams that I'm talking about.
586. 48:42Some of us, you listen to me right now saying,
587. 48:44how can an entire, how could you get a majority
588. 48:46in two houses of a legislature to pass something like this?
589. 48:49How could you get a governor who would sign something like this?
590. 48:52How could you get three Supreme Court justices to say,
591. 48:54you know what, we should have let this lead this in place?
592. 48:58You know how, guys?
593. 49:01Romans one explains it to us.
594. 49:03When people reject God, we become futile in our reasoning.
595. 49:08We start to call down up and up down.
596. 49:10We call good evil and evil good.
597. 49:13And those who would fight against the evil,
598. 49:16the scripture says they make themselves a prey
599. 49:18because a wicked folk seeks to pursue.
600. 49:20Guys, we must remain diligent and vigilant in these times.
601. 49:24Prayer is the order of the day.
