0:00.0	Welcome to the Megan Kelly Show, live on Sirius XM Channel 111 every weekday at New East.
0:12.2	Hey, everyone, I'm Megan Kelly. Welcome to the Megan Kelly show. The war on Iran has begun.
0:18.2	Where it ends and what's ahead for the United States remains unclear at this hour.
0:23.2	U.S. Central Command, which oversees our military operations in the Middle East, announcing
0:27.0	early this morning that now four U.S. service members have been killed. That's up from three
0:32.8	yesterday, one service member succumbing to his or her injuries. Just a short time ago, President Trump gave an interview to the New York Post where he did not rule out potentially sending U.S. ground troops into Iran.
0:46.5	The president saying, quote, I don't have the yips with respect to boots on the ground, like every president says, there will be no boots on the ground.
0:54.4	I don't say it. I say probably don't need them or if they were necessary. First and foremost,
1:02.2	I, Megan Kelly, am praying for the troops. I mean, that's where my mind immediately went.
1:08.1	The guys and the gals who have to actually carry out this mission,
1:11.5	why again, and put their lives on the line for whom again, are the ones who are on my mind,
1:17.7	and I prayed for them mightily yesterday and the day before. And I hope you have and will
1:22.8	continue to as well. Look, there are massive divisions over what we've done here, and people are going to change
1:30.9	their minds over the coming days and weeks one way or the other. But my own feeling is no one
1:39.0	should have to die for a foreign country. I don't think those four service members died for the
1:43.9	United States. I think they
1:45.3	died for Iran or for Israel. I think, I understand how this helps Iran perfectly well. I get it.
1:52.8	I mean, I hope. Long term, we'll see. But they seem rather jubilant. 80% of the country does not
1:59.3	support the Ayatollah. He was a terrible, terrible man. No one's crying that he's dead. No normal person.
2:05.9	But our government's job is not to look out for Iran or for Israel. It's to look out for us.
2:11.5	And this feels very much to me like it is clearly Israel's war.
2:19.2	Mark Levin wanted it.
