Oh, this is the threat. This is what people are worried about, is that they're concerned that Iran could have like sleeper cells and terrorists in the U.S. that are going to do attacks now. And I feel like the probability of that happening is very, very, very low, but it's possible that it would happen. Special agent and Navy SEAL Jonathan, good morning to you. I want to talk to you about what has led to this moment in time. When you think about since October 7th, what Israel was capable of doing with the Pager attack against Hezbollah, where Hamas stands right now, and where the Houthis that have, with the help of the United States, been very much decimated and their capabilities to strike back? All of that leading to this moment that we sit in right now. Yeah, sure. Because, like, you see, obviously, like, I mean, there clearly was a grand design here is that, like, after they systematically got rid of all of their kind of, like, terrorist networks like the Hezbollah and Nahuthis and like what was the other one, Hamas,

and like killing all of their leadership there. Now they're attacking Iran directly. And it seemed like it's very like this was a very methodical and planned decision. Right. And you know, it's interesting when we look at this, Israel has actually evolved back to the out of the box thinking and the tactics of eliminating your enemy like it was in before World War II and during World War II, after that the world moved to a different way of fighting. And we've seen a tremendous amount of advances and techniques and evolution of warfare in Ukraine and Russia and the way that the Iranian intel services in China use social media, for instance, to actually form social issues within other nations. And now we see this, where Israel has

gone back and systematically taken out the proxies. Now, this is very important because Iran does not fight their own wars outside of their borders. Yeah, they killed the proxies, and now that the proxies are dead, now they're attacking the main place, which is Iran. It seems pretty obvious. That's the plan. Use proxies. And I don't know if most people realize that. They have targeted Iran over. It's like, I mean, you want to use like a wow analogy. It's like you're going to kill the trash mobs before you fight the boss. I mean, obviously. It's common sense. Anybody would do this. Over and over using Hamas, Hezbollah, they went after Israel's strategic targets using the hootis.

Am I wrong? Am I wrong or not? Somewhere along the way, Israel figured this out. And I think this is part of at least a three-prong operation. First was the intel gathering. about Hamas and Hezbollah and Iran themselves along with the Houthis. And then they started carrying out attacks to really just cripple Hamas and Hezbollah. We, as you just said, helped with the Houthis. But along that way, there was an initial attack inside of Iran. It tested their air defenses. We saw that they were horrible.

And it showed. I mean, it made them look like a joke. I mean, like the difference is like, I don't know it's like a night and day difference it's like iran is like 30 or 40 years behind i mean it's almost like it's not even fair that iran did not have the ability to go the distance all the way over themselves into israel and actually effectively attack israel so with all of that in place and understanding all that and all those different iran just attacked israel live on fox news i don't

think that's true. I'm pretty sure that's not true. If something like that happens, let me know, but I'm not seeing any of that right now. ...washings working. They were able to then go and start putting these operatives inside Iran and setting up for the big attack. And I think the rest of the world needs to realize that this is the way war fighting has evolved. And Israel is successful because they did it that way. They Didn't just do it politically. So Jonathan, what do you think Iran is doing right now? Are they calling up their proxies that have been severely degraded over the past year and a half?

I mean, you're going to be able to do that. Well, so here's where they're really. Somebody says, didn't Iran just prove deficiencies in Israel's Iron Dome four to five, five to six months ago? Yeah, the Iron Dome isn't perfect, but like the Iron Dome gets like 95% of the missiles. whereas Iran stops 0% of the missiles, it seems. So that's clearly what the difference is. The issue, I think, of the future for all of us comes into play, is that we constantly call Iran the terrorists of the region.

But the reality of terrorism is a tactic that they use. Their ideology is fundamental Islam. And this has been a case for thousands of years. and Iran has never evolved or progressed to where they work things out diplomatically. You could never. I mean, I feel like they had that before the revolution. I mean, they had that before 1979. And they got taken over by a military fucking group that are extremists that are oppressing their own people.

Trust them. And so with this fundamentalism, this is the fear that I have is that even inside the United States, It's the exact attack that Israel just carried out inside the borders of Iran with the way that our border was down for four years. There could be sales here that could be activated by Iran or proxies. I think this is fearmongering. I do. I think this is silly. I mean, is it possible this could happen?

Yeah, of course it's possible this could happen. But like to pretend like this is something that we should be immediately aware of and afraid of, I don't really think so. I hate fear mongering. I mean, like, yeah, and there's a good chance that there could be a terrorist, even if somebody blows himself up in the name of Iran here, that doesn't necessarily mean that Iran planned it. You know what I mean? Like, there's a lot of levels of extension that you have to go through in order to, like, really make sense out of this and to assume that it's true. So when I hear this and it's like, well, it's just radical Islam, well, I mean, we haven't had these same problems with all these other countries, right? I mean, it's primarily Iran, and they've been the main problem that this has been going on with now for a long period of time, especially with them in Israel.

So I don't really think that's the issue, especially whenever you have videos and, like, pictures of Iran in the 60s and 70s and people are walking around in bikinis like it's fucking London or something. So I don't think that Iran is somehow like, you know, rotten to the core. That's ridiculous. I think it's being occupied by an oppressive religious fundamentalist militaristic government. And I don't even think the people there like it. So to say that there's going to be a bunch of, you know, Iranians that are going to go out and try to fight for themselves and, you know, like martyr themselves. I'm just not seeing that. I'm not seeing that happen. Like, I mean, it might happen, but like I don't think there's going to be a massive concerted effort if that makes sense.

Groups that are loyal to Iran. Am I crazy for saying that? Similar to Israel? Yeah, CIA put the extremists in power. Well, bad call on that one. That's basically what happened on October 7th when the Hamas went in and attacked Israel. They weren't prepared for that. And so we need to be prepared.

Israel needs to be prepared for those types of attacks. And the number one way to do that is for the citizenry to be aware. And that's what's going to prevent the majority of this. But Israel is definitely. I would say this that, like, I mean, regardless of, like, whether this is happening or not, I would definitely avoid a lot of those, like, protests and those big crowds tomorrow. Because, you know, they're going to have that military parade. And, like, if you're not there at the parade itself, which is probably going to have better security,

I would, I would not want to have anything to fucking do with that, right? Like, I would be very, very unsettled, at least for the next week or so, right? avoiding people. And right now, avoiding situations, really, that's it. Because they don't even have the ability right now at this point to run operations with their proxies because they're fighting for their life. Yeah, the fear of sleeper cells in the United States is very concerning.

It's something that the president is very aware of in trying to mitigate as we speak. Jonathan, thank you for joining us this morning. It sounds like a bunch of bullshit to me. I mean, yeah, there's a chance something like this could happen. but I mean, I think that again, this is predicated off of the assumption that Iran has always had this problem, which isn't true. I think it's primarily fearmongering more than anything. So, yeah, alternative media. Yeah, I guess so.

It's just fearmongering. Yeah, I would guess so too. And what's this? To be fair, we stated Shaw was oppressive as fuck. You essentially concede to terrorists if you change your life and actions based on fear. I mean, I understand what you're saying, but I'm also not going to tell people. yeah, it's a great idea for you to go out. I think this is from earlier. It's a great idea for you to go out and do this when there's a chance that something like that could happen out of nowhere. Like, I mean, I think that it's again, you're right, but it's also like being right doesn't necessarily help you if you're putting yourself in danger. Like there's people that have bad things happen to them and it's not fair, but it still happens anyway. And that's my point, right? It's being cautious. exactly. Like, for example, like, nobody should steal, but I would still recommend that not to leave a brand new switch two or a PlayStation 5 in a car in a parking lot unlocked overnight.

Like, nobody should steal, but at the same time, you don't want to put yourself in a position where this could negatively affect you either. So I think it's common sense both ways. Being right doesn't make you immortal. Yeah, exactly. You have to take calculated risks and you have to be smart. But yeah.
