LAWRENCE JONES (CO-HOST): Brian, the one thing that I was talking about before we got on air that I did not like. It seems likes the Democrats spent more time on the word imminent, right? I mean, I just don't think that's relevant. Maybe the president started the word imminent, but I don't think it's necessary. The stated goal of the country is to destroy America and to destroy Israel, and they've been acting on it.

BRIAN KILMEADE (CO-HOST): Yeah, persistent and consistent threat for the last 47 years, and now that they were pursuing a nuclear weapon it go really urgent over the last 12.
