There are reports here that the administration is leaning towards involvement rather than diplomacy, and that would involve sending US troops to the region with those bunker buster bombs to destroy Iran's nuclear capabilities deep underground.

That would be the only structure, by the way, that would allow the bunker buster bombers to get into the depth of the Ford nuclear facility that can actually end, if you will, the Iranian nuclear posture, certainly the weaponization of uranium such that you would end up with a nuclear bomb.

It is more destructive than an artillery shell, or a bunker buster, or a Tomahawk missile.

Here's the catch, reports say hundreds of trucks moved uranium centrifuges away from the nuclear enrichment plant just days before the bunker buster bomb strikes.

So when we are discussing even this scenario of the US starting to bomb nuclear facilities using the so-called bunker buster bomb, that would be basically a major entry into the war and it would expose the US to Iranian retaliation and it is very likely that the US would be fully dragged into this war and the consequences are huge.

So, basically, they need the Americans to bring what they call the mother of all bombs, the bunker buster bomb, to go through the Fordow nuclear site, which is believed to be the main site still untouched for the Iranian nuclear program.

The thing is, Trump being, you know, bunker buster curious is a shock to some of the people who are his fans, because one of the things that America First supposedly meant was keeping American troops out of foreign wars so we can send more of them to Los Angeles, you know?

The surprise attack on Iran started with deception, then came stealth bombers, bunker buster bombs, and

This Pentagon map shows warplanes taking off from Missouri in the American heartland and flying a 40-hour round trip to deliver their enormous munitions, 14 bunker buster bombs.

Saturday morning 18 hours later 12 massive ordnance penetrator bunker buster bombs dropped by six b-2 bombers on the main enrichment site in Fordow a seventh b-2 bombs on the underground uranium enrichment site at Natanz lastly 30 tomahawk missiles fired from an Ohio class submarine 400 miles away landed at Isfahan it is much too early to say what the bomb damage assessment at Isfahan with its hardened tunnels some 600 feet deep really were current and former Pentagon officials think the program was likely set back by one to two years but no one knows where the highly enriched uranium actually is 900 pounds of it enough for nine nuclear bombs it could have been moved or could be buried we're told there is little doubt that the u.s. will now face a retaliatory strike from Iran after the u.s. military killed General Qasem Soleimani in 2020 it took Iran 10 days to fire ballistic missiles at u.s. bases in Iraq but this time it may come a lot sooner Kayleigh Jen quick question for you because I'm reading reports about the airspace being closed above Al Udeid air air base there was there any effort to disperse troops ahead of this moment because 10,000 u.s. troops is a highly concentrated number of u.s. troops in one place we don't have any details but I can assure you that troops and and embassy personnel have been dispersed and the family members of those troops and embassy members were home in the last week also we can report that many of those we had satellite imagery showing that many of the planes that were at Al Udeid the u.s. warplanes they had been moved you couldn't see them on the tarmac last week but still a very tempting target symbolically and otherwise for the Iranians and certainly closing the airspace over Qatar it's clear that other embassies as well as the the cutter itself has this the same intelligence thank you Jennifer you know Harris this has happened rapidly we saw the UK make moves in the u.s. and and now you can look at some of the satellite imagery and you do not see planes over Qatar yeah I mean what really flagged me was the shelter-in-place so that happened much earlier today and then you saw the UK get involved in that as well telling its citizens as well and that's always a sign that if you didn't get out and we've heard President Trump in the last few days saying get on something flying you know if you're in if you're in that region and particularly on the ground in Israel anywhere near there so many people have taken it up to and then they've got land bridges going to to some of our friends and allies as well as as much as we can lean on them at this point I mean Jordan put out a pretty interesting statement that didn't support us but maybe they just say that publicly we hope but in this instance what's key here is Iran has hit us so many times as military bases around the region 200 plus times in Biden's presidency and he did nothing so they think they've got a bird in the hand by hitting our military people and as KT McFarlane said and as generals have said on this very air they need to rethink that after Operation Midnight Hammer yeah and we know more than 600 troops killed in Iraq at the hands of Iran and their proxies Brian you know the Biden presidency was mentioned and I do want to put the action President Trump took in historical context I want to take us back to the late 1990s and show you what Democratic presidents have promised and what President Trump actually did you can see this here Clinton as all of you know Iran needs to meet its energy energy needs and then he goes on to say Iran can't have a nuclear weapon Obama I've stated Iran will never be allowed to obtain a nuclear weapon Biden we will not let me say it again not allow Iran to acquire a nuclear weapon President Trump the first president who was actually able to stand in front of a camera and say Iran's key nuclear enrichment facilities have been completely and totally obliterated the first three have one thing in common words the fourth one has an action yeah it's just it's such a joke when you see Democrats go you know this is a war of choice we'd have to do that it's not a threat to us to this this is Israel's problem since one is in Israel's problem the other thing is if they go ahead and hit us in Qatar keep in mind there's gonna be an immediate response it's gonna be coming right away we told them in no uncertain terms if you hit us back this is it you hit us back we're gonna wipe out your oil gonna wipe out your gas try to get an economy going in Iran if you have neither one of those energy sources also Israel has picked up the pace they are bombing out paramilitary sites there are different different places government buildings in Tehran they also have bombed out the front of in prison where a lot of political prisoners are being held so believe me this is not going away they have lost their command to control the most of the nuclear scientists they have an 86 year old leaders hanging out in the bunker somewhere they should realize if I could take the president's term they got very few cards yeah they do you know you have the extraordinary actions of President Trump and the extraordinary actions of our military tutor I want to play this for you I want to take us back to 2013 to President Obama and the time he mentioned Fordo listen to this they don't need to have a underground fortified facility like Fordo in order to have a peaceful nuclear program they certainly don't need a heavy water reactor at Iraq in order to have a peaceful nuclear program they don't need some of the advanced centrifuges that currently possess in order to have a limited peaceful nuclear program they didn't need that but they built Fordo underground and so it didn't appear that those words worked no and I think that's what all rational military generals have come out and said like we what we are watching what they're doing we see that instead of having three to five percent uranium enrichment in Iran they have 60 we know what that means that means they are going toward nuclear weapons this is also a country that has said death to Israel death to America time and time again Barack Obama knew it was dangerous he didn't he wasn't willing to do anything about it because he was scared Donald Trump has proven nothing he is afraid of nothing and he is willing to protect America over anything else yeah that's right you know Emily I want to focus for a second and I know he'll do such a great job at this on our military the extraordinary work that they did the second longest b2 mission ever to be flown second only to 9-eleven refueling multiple times in air a stealth mission with diversions I mean this shows how extraordinary the u.s. armed forces are how elite how incredible and every sense of the word I think it can never be overstated the intensity and the elite caliber of the collaboration and the constellation of perfection required to pull this operation off and oftentimes when we see a main character who makes it look effortless we think that they're operating solo and the reality here is those beautiful b2 bombers had a support squad the super heroes of the century and we heard about the third and fourth gen fighter pilots or fighter jets so those are the the f-22s the f-35s these are of history in the support record you know keep in mind of course obviously the b2 its its its strength is in its stealth but certainly not in its self-defense maneuverability agility or ability to withstand attacks midair so that's what the squad is for and when you introduce as well the submarine right that shot the tomahawks over and you introduce the precision required of the timeliness of the silence required I mean it's an extraordinary feat and may I just say as you referenced prior president's comments the actions here of this president and the words of the Wall Street editorial board Wall Street Journal editorial board who said that the president this president met the moment I note Jamie Metzl who was Biden's deputy staff director of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee he served on the National Security Council under President Clinton and he had a lengthy post on Saturday where he said look I believe electing Kamala Harris would have been better for our country goes on but he said I also believe Vice President Harris would not have had the courage or fortitude to take such an essential step as the president took last night that's a rational mind he said I am NOT beholden to tribalism and that is someone that saw what this president and our military did as extraordinary only Chuck Schumer and Amy Klobuchar and AOC could take some notes from him and we will get to that later in the show hey everyone I'm Emily Campagnolo catch me and my co-hosts Harris Faulkner and Kaylee McEnany on outnumbered every weekday at 12 p.m.
