00:00The so-called enemies were watching.

00:02They watched every minute of it.

00:03They watched.

00:04There was very few people that weren't watching, actually.

00:07But they watched every minute.

00:08It was a perfect military performance,

00:11the likes of which we haven't seen in a long time.

00:14I mean, if you compare that to the same country,

00:17the hostages from years ago, Jimmy Carter.

00:20It was unfortunate for Jimmy Carter.

00:21He was a nice man, but with the helicopters going down,

00:25the sandstorms, the prisoners that got captured,

00:28then the election and the prisoners and Reagan

00:31and all the problems.

00:33It was nothing but problems.

00:35And that was a failure.

00:38And ours was not only the pilots.

00:40I mean, those machines flew for 37 straight hours.

00:43They didn't stop.

00:44They went skedaddle.

00:46You know the word skedaddle?

00:47It means skedaddle.

00:48They dropped the bombs, and somebody said,

00:51skedaddle, let's get the hell out of here.

00:53And every bomb hit its mark and hit it incredibly.

00:59And as you know, the Atomic Energy Commission said it's gone.

01:03That place is gone.

01:04We had a lot of fake reporting, mostly from CNN,

01:08where the scammer, a writer for CNN,

01:11who should be fired, by the way.

01:13She was involved with the 51 fake intelligence agents,

01:16if you remember that.

01:18She did that story, created a story out of it.

01:20She created a story out of the laptop from hell,

01:23saying it came from Russia,

01:24but it actually came from Hunter Biden's bedroom,

01:27or worse.

01:29And just a scammer.

01:31And she's still at CNN, which is pretty amazing.

01:34But we'll ask you a question about her.

01:38But they came up with this concept

01:39that maybe the attack wasn't that good.

01:43Maybe it...

01:44And I saw it happen right after the attack.

01:46I saw this person on CNN.

01:47I actually watch.

01:48I like to watch the enemy.

01:50You learn from the enemy.

01:51And I watched, because you have to know

01:52where they're coming from.

01:54And I watched her say,

01:56Anderson, you know,

01:58I'm hearing stories that

02:00maybe they didn't hit their target.

02:03Maybe it wasn't that good a hit.

02:05And I'm hearing stories.

02:06The next day it was a little more,

02:08and the next day a little more.

02:09After three, four days,

02:11she was saying,

02:12you know, I don't know.

02:13I don't think it was that...

02:14Except by that time,

02:16everybody knew it was hit perfectly.

02:18The evidence is in the planes.

02:20The evidence will...

02:21The pilots are the best evidence.

02:23But they actually came out of their plane,

02:25because they were here the other day,

02:26and they said,

02:27it was so sad.

02:28We did such a good job.

02:29We flew into very dangerous airspace.

02:31I'll never forget.

02:32We were in the Situation Room.

02:34And they said,

02:35they have entered Iranian airspace.

02:38And everyone took a deep breath,

02:40because they had more missiles pointing at them.

02:42But the equipment is so good.

02:43It's stealth.

02:44Way up in the air.

02:45And it was stealth.

02:46And they went right through that.

02:48And they sort of...

02:49By the time they found out they were there,

02:50they were already gone.

02:52That was the word skedaddle.

02:53Get the hell out of here.

02:54But they were right in

02:55the most dangerous airspace in the world.

02:58And they took those big, beautiful, very fast.

03:01They're unbelievable planes.

03:02I mean, they've become

03:03really beautiful works of art.

03:06You know, I always thought they sort of were cool,

03:08but now they look better than just cool,

03:11don't they, huh?

03:12But they dropped the loads.

03:14And literally, they would hit,

03:17if you look at this table,

03:19from here to there,

03:20they had a half a refrigerator door

03:23is the way to best explain it.

03:24Take a refrigerator door,

03:26average size, cut it in half.

03:28That was their target.

03:29They hit every single one.

03:30Then we had 30 missiles,

03:32Tomahawk shot from submarines 300 miles away.

03:36Every one of them hit their target.

03:37It was a perfect mission.

03:38And then they came back almost 37 hours.

03:42Every plane worked perfectly.

03:44The mechanics were here, too.

03:46I said, you've got to get the mechanics here.

03:48We didn't have any problems.

03:50If you remember,

03:51they had a lot of problems with helicopters.

03:52But they didn't fly through a dust storm,

03:54which they shouldn't have done.

03:56Sometimes you say,

03:57let's go back and try it on a nicer day.

03:59Dust and sand don't work well with helicopters,

04:02if you know much about helicopters.

04:03But that was a horrible embarrassment to us.

04:07You know,

04:22and
