Hello, good evening and welcome to Of the People. Make no mistake, we are witnessing history unfold in real time.

In just the past few days, five days, only five days to be exact.

Israel has carried out one of the most consequential military operations in not just the 21st century,

but including the 20th century, a direct defensive strike against Iran's nuclear weapons program

and the key military and scientific masterminds behind it.

This was not just an operation.

This was a line drawn in stone, a message to every tyrant, every terror regime, and frankly, every cowardly appeaser in the West that the game has changed.

And the 50-year fantasy that diplomacy alone could contain evil has finally and thankfully collapsed.

Israel's mission, Operation Rising Lion, has made the world a safer place.

By striking Iran, the world's leading state sponsor of terrorism, Israel didn't just protect its own people.

It defended global stability around the world.

It stood between civilization and chaos, and it reminds every free nation what moral courage

actually looks like, finally.

Because for decades, we've watched the international community tiptoe around Tehran signing worthless agreements, ignoring the red lines and pretending you can reason with a genocidal regime, which you can not.

Israel didn't wait.

They acted.

And because Israel acted, the world now has a real shot,

not at another round of hollow peace talks, but actual lasting peace. What the Israeli people have done,

the bravery, the resilience, the clarity of purpose is nothing short of heroic.

Let's not forget they're still recovering from the horrors of October 7th.

There are still hostages being held in Gaza, and they're still surrounded by enemies on all sides.

And Lord knows that they are still demonized in global forums and the media and countries around the world.
