- 0:00Speaker 1: Play the music. The fundamental principles of freedom, national self interest,
- 0:09Speaker 1: and individual runs. This is the Ran Brook Show. Oh right,
- 0:20Speaker 1: everybody walk on Davin Brook Show. On this February twenty
- 0:24Speaker 1: eight day.
- 0:25Speaker 2: They will go down in history as a positive day,
- 0:29Speaker 2: the day where civilization has stood out for itself, a
- 0:34Speaker 2: day where the geopolitics of the Islamic world will be changed,
- 0:38Speaker 2: maybe forever.
- 0:40Speaker 1: A day where Islamism, the enemy of the West, the
- 0:43Speaker 1: enemy of the United States, the enemy of Israel, the
- 0:45Speaker 1: ideological enemy of Europe, of really civilization, forget about the West,
- 0:51Speaker 1: the enemy of civilization has taken what I believe will
- 0:55Speaker 1: be a mortal blow. Now, how this all plays out
- 0:58Speaker 1: in the days and weeks to come is still hard
- 1:01Speaker 1: to tell. But one thing is for certain. Iwan will
- 1:05Speaker 1: never be the same. How many the Supreme leader of
- 1:08Speaker 1: Ian is most likely dead. Israeli intelligence believes that they
- 1:14Speaker 1: have seen the body being pulled out of the wreckage
- 1:20Speaker 1: of his palace. Early this morning, Israeli planes bombed that
- 1:27Speaker 1: palace with thirty thirty different bombs. They flattened the place completely.
- 1:34Speaker 1: Nobody who was inside survived. It doesn't matter how deep
- 1:39Speaker 1: the bunk I might have been nobody in that palace survived.
- 1:44Speaker 1: It is quite shocking that the Iranians did not evacuate
- 1:48Speaker 1: how many out of there and place him in some
- 1:50Speaker 1: other secure location, tried to hide it from Israeli intelligence.
- 1:54Speaker 1: But it turns out, not surprisingly and not for the
- 1:57Speaker 1: first time, that Israeli intelligence is really, really, really good,
- 2:00Speaker 1: and they knew who he was, and they have decapitated Iwan.
- 2:05Speaker 1: They have taken out the Supreme leader. Not many countries
- 2:08Speaker 1: have supreme leaders, they have leaders, not supreme leaders. Well, Iwan,
- 2:12Speaker 1: who no longer has this particular supreme leader. It'll be
- 2:15Speaker 1: interesting to see whether the political class in Iwan can survive,
- 2:20Speaker 1: can survive this with the flatting of the plalace. Many
- 2:24Speaker 1: of his family members were killed. Of course, the heir
- 2:27Speaker 1: apparent to the Supreme Leader was his son. It's not
- 2:29Speaker 1: clear if his son was in the palace, survived, didn't survive.
- 2:34Speaker 1: Family members were killed, his advisors were killed. This is
- 2:37Speaker 1: a massive blow to the Iranian regime. In addition, this morning,
- 2:43Speaker 1: the Defense Secretary, Minister of war whatever you want to
- 2:47Speaker 1: call it, of Yuan was killed, as was the commanding
- 2:51Speaker 1: officer of the entire Islamic Revolutionary Guard. This is in
- 2:56Speaker 1: addition to dozens of other commanding officers. The commanding officers
- 3:00Speaker 1: that survived the Twelve Day War, many of them did not.
- 3:04Speaker 1: Israel waited for the morning. They waited for many of
- 3:08Speaker 1: these commanders to be in meetings assemble together. It seems
- 3:14Speaker 1: like the Iranians learned nothing from the strikes in the
- 3:19Speaker 1: Twelve Day War. They were huddled together. Israel struck them
- 3:25Speaker 1: as they were huddling, and thus managed to cause dramatic,
- 3:31Speaker 1: dramatic losses to the Iranian military, to Islamic, to the
- 3:39Speaker 1: revolutionary God, and too, for the first time, really to
- 3:43Speaker 1: the Iranian political leadership. This is new. In the past,
- 3:49Speaker 1: Israel has avoided going after the Iranian leadership. It was
- 3:55Speaker 1: quite shocking that they went after the Rizabalal leadership two
- 3:58Speaker 1: years ago that they did, and they decided this round,
- 4:04Speaker 1: I think, with the support of the Americans, to take
- 4:06Speaker 1: out the Iranian leadership. Note that most of the activity,
- 4:11Speaker 1: as far as we can tell, most of the activity,
- 4:12Speaker 1: at least from airplanes, is being done by the Israelis.
- 4:17Speaker 1: The Americans might be taking out some port facilities. They
- 4:21Speaker 1: might be focused on the Iranian navy, both along the
- 4:27Speaker 1: Indian Ocean side of things, and in the Persian Gulf,
- 4:33Speaker 1: Israel is what the israelly pilots are the ones taking
- 4:36Speaker 1: out Iranian targets along the eastern part of Iran and
- 4:41Speaker 1: the central part of Iran. They're taking out ballistic missile sites,
- 4:45Speaker 1: they are taking out in defense systems, just as they
- 4:53Speaker 1: did in the Twelve Day War. So far, there's zero
- 4:58Speaker 1: indications of any kind of casualties or any kind of
- 5:02Speaker 1: any kind of damage suffered by Israel. So, you know,
- 5:12Speaker 1: so far it's been an overwhelming success. It's going to
- 5:18Speaker 1: take more than this to overthrow the regime. There are
- 5:22Speaker 1: other layers of political leadership with in Iran that needs
- 5:26Speaker 1: to be taken out. I think some of those were
- 5:28Speaker 1: already attacked. I mentioned the defense secretary. Others are probably
- 5:33Speaker 1: have probably died as well. But we don't have We
- 5:36Speaker 1: don't have a lot of information about who and who
- 5:39Speaker 1: might be and who might be replacing them, who might
- 5:42Speaker 1: be in their stead We will so I anticipate this
- 5:48Speaker 1: to last quite a while. Both Ntennell and Trump have
- 5:52Speaker 1: called on the Iranian people to ultimately come out into
- 5:56Speaker 1: the streets and take over the regime, but not quite
- 5:59Speaker 1: the at the cautioning that right now is dangerous. Uh,
- 6:03Speaker 1: and UH that there's still more that that the United
- 6:10Speaker 1: States and as well need to do in order to
- 6:13Speaker 1: neutralize this regime and make it and make it impossible
- 6:16Speaker 1: for them for them to to do anything once the
- 6:21Speaker 1: Ranians decide to overthrow, to overthrow the regime themselves. But
- 6:26Speaker 1: ultimately this is going to take the Iranians doing the
- 6:30Speaker 1: work to to get rid of the Islamic regime and
- 6:36Speaker 1: to replace it with something else. All Right, one second,
- 6:46Speaker 1: a few things to watch for. As with the Twelve
- 6:49Speaker 1: Day War, I think I said this at the time,
- 6:53Speaker 1: a key to success, a key to victory is and
- 7:00Speaker 1: to actual regime change, not just military victory, which I
- 7:03Speaker 1: think is fairly is a done deal. But a key
- 7:06Speaker 1: to actual regime change, to actually replacing the regime in
- 7:09Speaker 1: Iran is going to be whether units in the Iranian
- 7:16Speaker 1: military decide to abandon the regime and side with the
- 7:21Speaker 1: Iranian people. I think there's a chance that this will happen.
- 7:25Speaker 1: But you need you need armed units who are either
- 7:33Speaker 1: leave the Islamic Revolutionary God but more likely the regular
- 7:36Speaker 1: military and decide that the regime is over. You need
- 7:40Speaker 1: a general or two to say okay, enough is enough,
- 7:44Speaker 1: We've suffered enough. We need to get rid of these people.
- 7:48Speaker 1: Without that, it's going to be very difficult. You need
- 7:50Speaker 1: somebody with arms in the streets defending protesters when they
- 7:56Speaker 1: go out back into the streets. You need somebody with
- 7:58Speaker 1: arms to on the ground to deal with whatever elements
- 8:03Speaker 1: of the revolutionary God decided to fight on and to
- 8:06Speaker 1: fight to the death. Somebody is going to have to,
- 8:10Speaker 1: you know, take have boots on the ground. America is
- 8:13Speaker 1: not going to put boots in the ground. Israel is
- 8:15Speaker 1: not going to put boots in the ground beyond the
- 8:17Speaker 1: Mossad agents and potentially Special Forces agents that are there now.
- 8:22Speaker 1: It's going to have to be Iranians. And the most
- 8:26Speaker 1: likely of the Iranians is the military. That is the
- 8:33Speaker 1: that is the group that is the least politicized. They're
- 8:36Speaker 1: all politicized, but that is the least politicized in the
- 8:38Speaker 1: least Islamic Islamist of all the you know, armed groups
- 8:45Speaker 1: within within Youan. And that could be some opposition group,
- 8:48Speaker 1: it could be the Kurds, it could be one of
- 8:49Speaker 1: these others. But the reality is that none of those
- 8:55Speaker 1: groups are none of those groups are probably positioned beyond
- 9:02Speaker 1: the territory in which they are currently stationed in, and
- 9:06Speaker 1: none of those groups opposition to really dominate Tehran, for example.
- 9:12Speaker 1: In Tehran, you need the military, So that's something to watch.
- 9:15Speaker 1: If the military rises up, if the military sides against
- 9:20Speaker 1: the regime, it's over for the region. It's finished. And
- 9:22Speaker 1: all you need is a few units. You don't need
- 9:25Speaker 1: a large chunk of them, because a lot of even
- 9:28Speaker 1: a lot of Islamic Revolutionary guards will not fight at
- 9:31Speaker 1: the end, but you do need somebody to clean out
- 9:34Speaker 1: the real radicals. So the bombing will continue. The bombing
- 9:38Speaker 1: will continue, and to take out as much of the
- 9:43Speaker 1: military assets that Iran has, and to continue to target
- 9:47Speaker 1: political leadership to the extent that they can find them.
- 9:50Speaker 1: Israeli intelligence is unbelievably robust. I mean, I was going
- 9:56Speaker 1: to say miraculous, but it's not a miracle. It's hard work.
- 10:00Speaker 1: The ability of the Israelian military to identify where they're located,
- 10:03Speaker 1: when they're located, when they're in, when they're out, and
- 10:06Speaker 1: to be able to target the most senior people within
- 10:09Speaker 1: Iran for these attacks is really stunning. It will go
- 10:14Speaker 1: down as the Twelve Day War and then now is
- 10:17Speaker 1: one of the great intelligence feats in history. I think
- 10:23Speaker 1: this is what gave the United States confidence to engage
- 10:26Speaker 1: in this war that they have on their side. The
- 10:29Speaker 1: kind of intelligence capabilities that these Raelis have, I don't
- 10:32Speaker 1: think it's matched by the United States. Even though the
- 10:34Speaker 1: United States has intelligent assets in Iran, I don't think
- 10:38Speaker 1: they match up to what Israel has in terms of
- 10:42Speaker 1: their experience, knowledge, and familiarity with the people involved in
- 10:47Speaker 1: the terrain. It's likely that by the end of whatever
- 10:51Speaker 1: this is, the Uranian military will be completely decimated, its
- 10:54Speaker 1: ranks shredded, and the political ranks will be demolished significantly.
- 11:02Speaker 1: It turns out that Israel, in the first wave of
- 11:04Speaker 1: attacks used two hundred airplanes. This is by far the
- 11:07Speaker 1: largest single attack of the Israeli air force in its history,
- 11:13Speaker 1: the most airplanes used all at once. Ever for Israel,
- 11:19Speaker 1: this is a massive achievement. Iran is far away from Israel.
- 11:23Speaker 1: Look at a map. It's not easy to fly from
- 11:26Speaker 1: Israel to Yuan. Many of these planes, not all of them,
- 11:30Speaker 1: but many of these planes need to be refueled. Indeed,
- 11:34Speaker 1: even the F thirty five, the standard edition American version
- 11:38Speaker 1: of the F thirty five, would have to be refueled.
- 11:40Speaker 1: Now Israel has modified the F thirty five without losing
- 11:44Speaker 1: any of its stealth capabilities, to make it possible for
- 11:47Speaker 1: F thirty five to fly to Iran, deliver payload, and
- 11:50Speaker 1: come back to Israel without refueling. But they have sixteens,
- 11:54Speaker 1: there are fifteens that might be participating. All need to
- 11:58Speaker 1: be refueled. Just the share number of tankers that have
- 12:01Speaker 1: to be up in the air. And here I wouldn't
- 12:04Speaker 1: be surprised if many of the refuel lays refue lures
- 12:08Speaker 1: well American tacers, not just Israeli tankers. But think of
- 12:11Speaker 1: the just shared number of tankers they have to be
- 12:14Speaker 1: up in the air. Think of the logistics of coordinating
- 12:17Speaker 1: two hundred air planes flying over a relatively small piece
- 12:21Speaker 1: of relatively small space, the corridor from Israel to Iwan,
- 12:26Speaker 1: coordinating all of that, and then making sure they're all
- 12:29Speaker 1: refueled and making sure they all get home safely. And
- 12:31Speaker 1: so far, all of them, all of them a home,
- 12:37Speaker 1: a home safe. Iran has lost two hundred and fifteen
- 12:41Speaker 1: missiles realistic missiles towards Israel and dozens and dozens of drones.
- 12:45Speaker 1: The drones have all been shot down as far as
- 12:46Speaker 1: I can tell, the missiles have mostly been shot down,
- 12:49Speaker 1: some of them have made it, and they have been
- 12:52Speaker 1: some hits on residential areas in Israel. I do not
- 12:56Speaker 1: have numbers for casualties yet, but I'm sure they will be.
- 13:01Speaker 1: They are blindly firing the ballistic missiles into population centers.
- 13:06Speaker 1: Somebody is going to is going to get hoods. The
- 13:12Speaker 1: United States is helping is Well shoot down the ballistic missiles,
- 13:16Speaker 1: including my expectation. I don't know this for a fact,
- 13:19Speaker 1: but my expectation is the USS forward with its anti
- 13:22Speaker 1: ballistic missile batteries is helping. It's close enough to Israel
- 13:27Speaker 1: to be able to influence and to be able to
- 13:29Speaker 1: take down some of those missiles as they re enter
- 13:32Speaker 1: the atmosphere. Britain has now deployed its air force. Remember
- 13:39Speaker 1: Britain would not let the United States use its airfields,
- 13:42Speaker 1: but now that the war has begun, Britain has deployed
- 13:46Speaker 1: the air force in defensive posture. So they're not bombing
- 13:50Speaker 1: you on, but they will be helping take down drones,
- 13:53Speaker 1: taking down missiles. Whatever the airplanes can do defensively, they
- 13:57Speaker 1: will participate in this. As I said this morning when
- 14:02Speaker 1: I first reported about the war. The Iranians, I think
- 14:05Speaker 1: have made a massive strategic mistake by attacking seven different
- 14:08Speaker 1: Arab countries. Now maybe I don't know all seven, but
- 14:12Speaker 1: Bahrain cut out UAE that's three, Saudi Arabia that's for Jordan,
- 14:18Speaker 1: that's five. I think they might have even attacked Oman,
- 14:21Speaker 1: which was a mediator in this latest negotiations, and potentially Iraq,
- 14:26Speaker 1: which would make seven. They've tried to attack military American
- 14:29Speaker 1: military basis. But for example, I saw a high rise
- 14:32Speaker 1: building in Bahrain get hit by a drone and exploded
- 14:37Speaker 1: in an apartment, exploding into flames. Hopefully there was nobody there,
- 14:40Speaker 1: but I wouldn't be surprised if there were casualties in
- 14:43Speaker 1: Kuwaits and in Bahrain, and potentially even Saudi Arabia where
- 14:47Speaker 1: they don't have the robust ed defense system that Israel does.
- 14:52Speaker 1: What that has done is turned all those countries against Iran,
- 14:56Speaker 1: and now particularly Saudi Arabia is allowing their airspace to
- 15:01Speaker 1: be used to attack Iran. I don't know if they're
- 15:03Speaker 1: allowing the Israel, but they're certainly allowing the Americans to
- 15:05Speaker 1: use that airspace. Remember, Saudi Arabia also has an air force.
- 15:09Speaker 1: Saudi Arabia also has military capabilities. It spends a lot
- 15:12Speaker 1: of money on defense. It could join us to make
- 15:16Speaker 1: it even to make it even a larger effort. But basically,
- 15:21Speaker 1: whatever friends, whatever moderate voices they might have been in
- 15:24Speaker 1: the Middle East supporting the Iranians, they are gone. The
- 15:29Speaker 1: only people supporting the Iranians are much of the Democratic
- 15:32Speaker 1: Party in the United States and the you know, much
- 15:36Speaker 1: of the EU, although not all of the EU, but
- 15:39Speaker 1: many people within the EU are supporting the Iranians. I
- 15:44Speaker 1: think the EU is the EU Foreign Affairs whatever minister,
- 15:51Speaker 1: I don't know. I don't think formerly it's a minister
- 15:54Speaker 1: is convening a Foreign ministers meeting to talk about Iran,
- 16:01Speaker 1: and we'll probably get a statement out of there. But
- 16:03Speaker 1: generally are they are supporting Iran and condemning the attack
- 16:09Speaker 1: by Israel. In the United States, as several of Democratic
- 16:17Speaker 1: Democratic parliamentarians, as I noted early again this morning, I
- 16:21Speaker 1: do believe that Trump should have asked Congress for permission.
- 16:26Speaker 1: People said yes, but it would have been leaked. He
- 16:29Speaker 1: didn't need to ask for permission for a specific strike.
- 16:32Speaker 1: He didn't need to ask for permission with any operational details.
- 16:37Speaker 1: All he needed to do was get a vote in
- 16:40Speaker 1: Congress to give him the authority to determine the timing
- 16:45Speaker 1: and the type of strike if negotiations failed. Something general
- 16:49Speaker 1: like that would have not compromised any of any of
- 16:53Speaker 1: their secrecy and the timing of this attack. That would
- 16:57Speaker 1: have made this constitutional as it is. It's not, But
- 16:59Speaker 1: most phone policy stuff the presidents have done militarily over
- 17:03Speaker 1: the last fifty years sixty years have not been constitutional.
- 17:07Speaker 1: So add one to the list. This one, at least,
- 17:11Speaker 1: This one, at least is for a good cause and
- 17:16Speaker 1: justified by American self defense, justified by American interests. Those
- 17:20Speaker 1: arguing that there is no American interest here at stake
- 17:24Speaker 1: it should be ashamed of themselves for the lack of
- 17:27Speaker 1: knowing of history, for the lack of understanding of the geopolitics,
- 17:31Speaker 1: and for the lack of knowing how just how many
- 17:34Speaker 1: Americans have been killed by the Iranian regime since nineteen
- 17:39Speaker 1: seventy nine, and the fact that Iran has been at
- 17:41Speaker 1: war with the United States since nineteen seventy united The
- 17:46Speaker 1: fact that the United States has evaded that fact has
- 17:49Speaker 1: pretended that it isn't so does not change the fact
- 17:53Speaker 1: that the Iranians know they're at war with the US
- 17:56Speaker 1: and this is long time coming. They should have been
- 18:00Speaker 1: done forty years ago, and if not forty years ago,
- 18:02Speaker 1: then twenty five years ago. It should have been done
- 18:06Speaker 1: after ninety eleven, immediately after ninety eleven. Again, it should
- 18:09Speaker 1: have been done when the hostages were taken in seventy nine,
- 18:12Speaker 1: but it wasn't so when they had an opportunity when
- 18:16Speaker 1: the Iranians blew up the Marines in Beiruta, when the
- 18:24Speaker 1: Iranians blew up again US forces in the Koba Towers
- 18:28Speaker 1: in Saudi Arabia. Iran hasn't been involved in attacking American Americans,
- 18:33Speaker 1: American troops, American intelligence assets of American citizens, just generally
- 18:38Speaker 1: for decades. The Iranians have been involved in funding terrorism
- 18:42Speaker 1: against the United States for decades. Iran is the number
- 18:46Speaker 1: one Islamist funder of terrorism in the world. It should
- 18:51Speaker 1: have been the number one target after nine to eleven.
- 18:54Speaker 1: It was not, so got we got to where we
- 18:58Speaker 1: are today. October seventh is a consequence of that, and
- 19:02Speaker 1: so many American deaths, a consequence of the fact that
- 19:05Speaker 1: America did not deal with Iran when it should have
- 19:08Speaker 1: dealt with it. Well, maybe now we're doing it, Maybe
- 19:10Speaker 1: this will go down as the best thing, the greatest
- 19:12Speaker 1: thing the Trump administration has done. Maybe this will this
- 19:17Speaker 1: will be something that compensates for all the other for
- 19:24Speaker 1: all the bs that Trump is putting us, for all
- 19:27Speaker 1: the evil that Trump is putting us through elsewhere. I
- 19:32Speaker 1: mean a number now of outlets of reporting out of Israel,
- 19:37Speaker 1: all out of Israel. Really that Israeli Supreme lead, that
- 19:41Speaker 1: Iran Supreme leader to La Jomini has been killed by
- 19:45Speaker 1: an Israeli air strike this morning on Iran, that his
- 19:49Speaker 1: body has been has been found in the rubble and
- 19:53Speaker 1: has been brought out of that rubble. This is coming
- 19:58Speaker 1: from Israelian media, Israeli a so Israeli intelligent. It's coming
- 20:01Speaker 1: all the way down from the Prime Minister's office in Israel.
- 20:06Speaker 1: There's been no confirmation from Iran, and there's been no
- 20:09Speaker 1: confirmation from the United States. All right, You know, there
- 20:25Speaker 1: are a lot of consequences to this, to the show
- 20:28Speaker 1: of force, and if it indeed brings down the Iranian regime,
- 20:33Speaker 1: this is a massive blow to Russia. It takes out
- 20:38Speaker 1: a Russian ally, but it also shows the world the
- 20:44Speaker 1: capabilities of these Alis, but in the capabilities of America.
- 20:49Speaker 1: In America puts it mine to a battle. There's no
- 20:54Speaker 1: military force on planet Earth that can match up against
- 20:56Speaker 1: the United States. Some say China, But China is an
- 20:59Speaker 1: unproven entity. And China looks at this, And China looks
- 21:04Speaker 1: at this and says, hmm, do we really want to
- 21:12Speaker 1: do we really want to match up against the United States?
- 21:15Speaker 1: Do we really want to take them on? Do we
- 21:17Speaker 1: really understand what's involved? I mean, in the US, you know,
- 21:21Speaker 1: basically made completely impotent Chinese technology in Venezuela. Israel has
- 21:26Speaker 1: made Chinese technology radars, you know, if defense systems against
- 21:34Speaker 1: against aerial attack, they made them. I relevant. What about
- 21:42Speaker 1: the rest of Chinese Chinese tech military tech? Does the
- 21:46Speaker 1: United States Israel have the answers to it? Does the
- 21:51Speaker 1: Chinese want to find out? The United States standing up
- 21:56Speaker 1: to a villain, the United States taking out a regime
- 22:01Speaker 1: in the way in an overwhelming, dominant, one sided way,
- 22:06Speaker 1: as they are going to do here, that is sending
- 22:10Speaker 1: a message to the Russians, are sending a message to
- 22:12Speaker 1: the Chinese. I wouldn't be surprised if you Soarch Russia
- 22:15Speaker 1: moderated the position about Ukraine in lieu of what's going
- 22:19Speaker 1: on in Iran. I wouldn't be surprised if China decides
- 22:23Speaker 1: that maybe they should wait with Taiwan. Maybe twenty twenty
- 22:27Speaker 1: seven is too soon, Maybe this regime, maybe the Americans
- 22:31Speaker 1: should be messed with. There's also so this is a
- 22:42Speaker 1: major signal to the rest of the world. Don't mess
- 22:47Speaker 1: with Israel, don't mess with America and water, don't mess
- 22:51Speaker 1: with Western tech, don't mess with Western weapons systems, not
- 22:55Speaker 1: when they are used properly and taken seriously. So this
- 23:02Speaker 1: is huge, as I've said many many times, the most
- 23:06Speaker 1: important geopolitical event since the fall of the Berlin Wall,
- 23:10Speaker 1: and even more important, maybe potentially than that, This is
- 23:14Speaker 1: this could be the beginning of the end of the
- 23:16Speaker 1: Islamist movement, the global Islamist movement. This will make a
- 23:19Speaker 1: significant dent in their popularity, in their ficaciousness, in their funding.
- 23:25Speaker 1: I mean, think of all the mosques, think of all
- 23:27Speaker 1: the groups, Think of think of all the funding that's
- 23:30Speaker 1: gone into Islamist groups in Europe, in the f in
- 23:34Speaker 1: in in the Far East, in place like Indonesia, Malaysia, India,
- 23:37Speaker 1: Pakistan that have originated from Iran, and some would say, oh,
- 23:43Speaker 1: they're just a share, it's the only fund. No, they
- 23:45Speaker 1: don't fund only shares. Ramas is a soon the organization,
- 23:49Speaker 1: and they were the prime funders of Ramas. Think about
- 23:52Speaker 1: the fact that Chrismala, once Iran is gone, is all alone,
- 23:57Speaker 1: and then potentially, realistically, I think the Lebanese government will,
- 24:03Speaker 1: the Lebanese military will take conchris Bala, defang it, disarm it,
- 24:10Speaker 1: and then potentially you'll see a peace deal between Lebanon
- 24:12Speaker 1: and Israel. Now, this isn't the end of Sunni Islamism.
- 24:17Speaker 1: Turkey is still around, Kata is still around, Syria is
- 24:20Speaker 1: still around. But even for Turkey and Syria and Kata,
- 24:25Speaker 1: this will constitute a major blow, partially because this is
- 24:29Speaker 1: an example of the West actually standing up with itself,
- 24:31Speaker 1: the West actually saying enough is enough. We will stand
- 24:35Speaker 1: up the Islam and if we do, when we do,
- 24:38Speaker 1: tin Islamik regime, it's toast because you guys don't have
- 24:43Speaker 1: a chance. You just don't have a chance. Consequence is
- 24:51Speaker 1: huge for the fall of this regime, and it certainly
- 24:54Speaker 1: does look like this regime will fall. It's also quite
- 25:00Speaker 1: possible this is going to happen faster than what people
- 25:04Speaker 1: are predicting. It's quite possible that this would not last weeks,
- 25:08Speaker 1: but only days. I don't know that, but it's possible,
- 25:11Speaker 1: particularly with Homany already dead and who knows who else
- 25:15Speaker 1: already dead. Does the next guy want to face Israeli missiles?
- 25:21Speaker 1: Does the leaders of the regime really want to put
- 25:25Speaker 1: their families, their homes, their lives at stake. How many
- 25:30Speaker 1: of them already already planning on fleeing? Maybe tonight, maybe
- 25:36Speaker 1: tomorrow night, maybe later this week or maybe next week.
- 25:41Speaker 1: This could be short. The Mullas could fall pretty quickly.
- 25:45Speaker 1: Iran within a week could be free. I mean, think
- 25:52Speaker 1: about what that does to oil prices. Suddenly Iranian oil
- 25:56Speaker 1: goes on the market. One of the reasons he wrought
- 25:58Speaker 1: I think one of the reasons Study Arabian were so
- 26:00Speaker 1: hesitant to support this mission was this afraid of victory.
- 26:04Speaker 1: Because even though Iran is a regional enemy to the Soudeast,
- 26:12Speaker 1: you know, Saudi Arabia doesn't want so much more oil
- 26:15Speaker 1: entering the world markets. But imagine Iran joining the world markets,
- 26:20Speaker 1: not as a black sheep, but as a legit player
- 26:23Speaker 1: and selling its oil on the general market. Prices will
- 26:26Speaker 1: go down quite a bit, and the Iranians will want
- 26:29Speaker 1: to sell. They will not want to play games to
- 26:33Speaker 1: try to manipulate prices up. They will need to rebuild,
- 26:35Speaker 1: and they will want to sell in order to rebuild
- 26:37Speaker 1: this society. So while all prices might go up on Monday,
- 26:43Speaker 1: because of the uncertainty involved, all prices could go down
- 26:48Speaker 1: quite a bit in the days and weeks to come. Again.
- 26:52Speaker 1: This pressure on Russia, which requires which gets all its
- 26:57Speaker 1: revenue from oil sales, it gives a discount anywhere already.
- 27:01Speaker 1: Imagine if all prices are plummeting the kind of discount
- 27:04Speaker 1: they will have to give at that point. So yes,
- 27:13Speaker 1: I think that this might be much shorter than people expect.
- 27:22Speaker 1: By the way, Reuter's and Axious are now also reporting
- 27:25Speaker 1: that the Ranian Supreme Leader has been eliminated. So it
- 27:29Speaker 1: seems like this is confirmed. Uh and maybe not by
- 27:34Speaker 1: the Islamic regime, but by pretty much most of the
- 27:38Speaker 1: it seems like the mainstream media based on reports from Israel.
- 27:51Speaker 1: All right, Yeah, Nititaaniao said that it's highly likely that
- 28:05Speaker 1: harmony is dead. Now. I don't think it's over because
- 28:11Speaker 1: cuddainly a new Supreme Leader leader could be appointed immediately.
- 28:17Speaker 1: One of the things that's happening all over all over
- 28:20Speaker 1: the West is just seeing Uranians flooding into the streets
- 28:24Speaker 1: waving Uranian flags, cheering the United States, celebrating the dawn
- 28:29Speaker 1: of a free Iran. I think now they'll probably be
- 28:32Speaker 1: celebrating the death of harmony. I think Uranians all over
- 28:37Speaker 1: the world consents that this is the end of this regime.
- 28:43Speaker 1: Let's see what else I mean. An Uranian drone hit
- 28:51Speaker 1: the Kwadi National Airport right on the terminal. They hit
- 28:56Speaker 1: terminal one in the Kuwaiti National Airport again. Not make
- 29:00Speaker 1: friends with the other Gulf states. Now. Iran did announce
- 29:03Speaker 1: earlier that it was closing the Homo Straits again. This
- 29:09Speaker 1: is a strait by which almost all of the will
- 29:11Speaker 1: supply for the world goes through. And you know, at
- 29:18Speaker 1: this point ships are still traveling through it. So I
- 29:22Speaker 1: think that is more blessed than reality. My guess is
- 29:27Speaker 1: that the United States Air Force and Navy's primary mission
- 29:31Speaker 1: right now will be to keep the straits open. That
- 29:35Speaker 1: is Israel will take care of you on. Israel will
- 29:37Speaker 1: take care of how many. Israel will take care of
- 29:39Speaker 1: the political, military leaders and the United States will keep
- 29:42Speaker 1: the straights open, We'll keep oil passing through the straits,
- 29:47Speaker 1: and then once that is done, maybe joined in the
- 29:50Speaker 1: fight elsewhere around Iran. Although, as I said, ballistic missiles
- 29:54Speaker 1: from the United States from the US ships were part
- 29:58Speaker 1: of the attack this morning. It looks like in Iran
- 30:02Speaker 1: people are hunting and people are cheering and celebrating the
- 30:07Speaker 1: death of Hominy, which should not be surprising. Senior defense
- 30:13Speaker 1: officials tell Fox News that the United States agrees with
- 30:16Speaker 1: the Israeli assessment that he runs supreme leader to Lahamini
- 30:19Speaker 1: is dead, along with five to ten other top leaders
- 30:22Speaker 1: in the Iranian government and military, who were all meeting
- 30:26Speaker 1: at Homony's compound in Tehran early in the morning and Saturday.
- 30:30Speaker 1: I mean, these people are idiots. They really are not
- 30:32Speaker 1: very smart. I mean, you're facing an attack from Israel
- 30:37Speaker 1: in the United States and you all get together and
- 30:38Speaker 1: have a party or meeting. There is zoom. Now, maybe
- 30:42Speaker 1: Zoom is not secure enough. We'll meet in a bunk
- 30:44Speaker 1: of somewhere else. Don't meet where everybody expects you to meet.
- 30:51Speaker 1: Maybe they just couldn't believe that these Radis would have
- 30:55Speaker 1: the audacity to actually bomb the palace of the or
- 31:06Speaker 1: the compound of the Supreme Leader. Supreme Leader. They should
- 31:12Speaker 1: have learned by how Israel dealt with Nozraela and in Isbela.
- 31:19Speaker 1: Let me see what else is happening, right, I mean,
- 31:27Speaker 1: the left is going to astake about how awful this is. Oh,
- 31:30Speaker 1: you know who condemned the war immediately right off the
- 31:33Speaker 1: bat with TACKA. Colson condemned these thousands of Americans who
- 31:36Speaker 1: begin to die. My expectation is very few, if any
- 31:39Speaker 1: Americans will die. Yep. So it is true. Harmony is replaceable,
- 31:50Speaker 1: and it doesn't mean the automatic death of the regime.
- 31:53Speaker 1: But is neither the israel in the United States are
- 31:55Speaker 1: stopping with the death of Romini. They will go after
- 31:57Speaker 1: the rest. And just like Bala getting eliminated in Israela
- 32:03Speaker 1: made a difference and it shook the Balla to the core.
- 32:06Speaker 1: And this is shaking the the regime, the Islamic regime
- 32:11Speaker 1: to the core. Whether they recover or not is a
- 32:13Speaker 1: different question, but it's shaken the regime to the court. Yeah.
- 32:21Speaker 1: A bunch of people on the right are like hedging.
- 32:23Speaker 1: Matt Walsh has already come out against it. Michael Knowles
- 32:27Speaker 1: is hedging. To certain the justice and prudence of the strikes,
- 32:30Speaker 1: one requires information that most of us simply don't have.
- 32:33Speaker 1: How imminent really was the threat of Iran's nuclear program?
- 32:36Speaker 1: What is the likelihood we can effectively and efficiently implement
- 32:40Speaker 1: a new fland regime? But that is that is the right,
- 32:45Speaker 1: That is the right that that that you know will
- 32:47Speaker 1: not you know, refuses to support a war outrights about
- 32:51Speaker 1: the left and the right in America today condemning Matt
- 32:54Speaker 1: Walls condemning the attack. I'm sure Ben Shapiro is very
- 32:57Speaker 1: much for it, and yeah, all right, I mean, the
- 33:15Speaker 1: reality is that if the if the States of Homoes
- 33:20Speaker 1: actually closed, and it looks like oil has spiked twelve
- 33:25Speaker 1: percent just now where since the Ranians announced that they
- 33:29Speaker 1: were closing in the States of Homos, although it doesn't
- 33:32Speaker 1: seem like it actually closed or went up twelve percent
- 33:35Speaker 1: just in that one hour. Most of that oil is
- 33:39Speaker 1: going to Asia. Most of that oil is going to China.
- 33:42Speaker 1: China is not going to be happy with the closing
- 33:45Speaker 1: of the of the states. The United States doesn't care
- 33:48Speaker 1: that much. It we are self sufficient oil wise. It
- 33:52Speaker 1: is mostly it is mostly von sorry, mostly China. Ninety
- 33:58Speaker 1: percent of Yuan's oil go to China, and Uron has
- 34:01Speaker 1: to explot through the same straits as everybody else. So
- 34:05Speaker 1: it's going to be interesting whether they can close the straits. Oh,
- 34:08Speaker 1: can't close the straits. There's a good meme over there
- 34:12Speaker 1: with the Iranians dancing and celebrating freedom for Iran and everything.
- 34:16Speaker 1: Tucker Carlson, Megan Kelly sent the leftist and elan Omar
- 34:21Speaker 1: all sitting there balling their eyes out, crying and depressed
- 34:25Speaker 1: because the Iranian regime has collapsed. All right, A lot
- 34:40Speaker 1: of people expressing skepticism about whether the regime change can
- 34:43Speaker 1: be affected from the air alone. I think it can be,
- 34:46Speaker 1: particularly given the number of Iranians aligned against the regime
- 34:51Speaker 1: the people. I do think elements of the military will
- 34:54Speaker 1: break away and side with the Iranian people and help
- 34:58Speaker 1: overthrow this regime. I think that strikes will weaken the
- 35:04Speaker 1: power of the regime itself enough so that so that
- 35:09Speaker 1: you will get regime change after all. All right, I'm
- 35:15Speaker 1: going to look at see if there are any questions.
- 35:17Speaker 1: But in the meantime, let me just say, if you
- 35:19Speaker 1: like the fact that I go live and update you
- 35:21Speaker 1: about breaking events, if you like the kind of coverage
- 35:24Speaker 1: that I provide about things like the Irun war. Please

- 35:56Speaker 1: and actually delivery of the message. So I know we

- 36:17Speaker 1: of them, so we'll go through some of them. Thank
- 36:19Speaker 1: you for all the stickers. Jeremy, thank you. Let's just
- 36:22Speaker 1: do the stickers quickly. Jeremy, let's you cook, Greg Seaweed,

- 36:35Speaker 1: all the stickers and the support. Keep them coming. We're
- 36:39Speaker 1: way behind on the kind of our targets for an
- 36:44Speaker 1: hour show. Johnny, thank you for the time you continue
- 36:48Speaker 1: to spend reporting on these events. My pleasure. Thank you
- 36:51Speaker 1: for listening, and I appreciate the support. Stephen kat says,
- 36:55Speaker 1: do you think birth tourism is a problem. No, I
- 37:00Speaker 1: think so. It's mine. It's a small number of people
- 37:03Speaker 1: who cares. More American citizens? Why is that a bad deal?
- 37:07Speaker 1: Ultimately they'll come and live in America. They don't want it,
- 37:09Speaker 1: they won't want to live in the countries that they're from,
- 37:12Speaker 1: and we'll get more American citizens. How is that bad?
- 37:14Speaker 1: So No, I don't think it's a problem at all.
- 37:16Speaker 1: I don't see what the issue is. I see why
- 37:19Speaker 1: it defense people. But U Realie, you shouldn't care. Ali
- 37:24Speaker 1: value for value sending support. Appreciate that. Ali, thank you.
- 37:28Speaker 1: You guys should also be like Allie, value for value,
- 37:30Speaker 1: send support. Linda, thank you for keeping us informed. It's
- 37:34Speaker 1: in you and free day for you on. I certainly
- 37:36Speaker 1: hope so. But I think we're closer than we've ever
- 37:39Speaker 1: been before. Parker, thank you for the sticker. Jennifer, thank
- 37:43Speaker 1: you for the sticker. I really appreciate it. John thank
- 37:47Speaker 1: you for your time to be reporting and fascinating insights.
- 37:50Speaker 1: Thank you, John Steven. Do you think a person who
- 37:53Speaker 1: inherited ten million dollars from his parents needs philosophy to live? Yes? Absolutely,
- 37:58Speaker 1: I mean not to survive physically, but to thrive as
- 38:02Speaker 1: a human being. You absolutely need philosophy. What do you
- 38:04Speaker 1: do with the ten million dollars? Should you go work?
- 38:07Speaker 1: How are you going to spend your time? Should you
- 38:09Speaker 1: be productive? Shouldn't you be reproductive? Should just hang out
- 38:11Speaker 1: the beach? Should you be a playboy and sleep around
- 38:13Speaker 1: with lots of women? You know? Is your mindificacious? Can
- 38:17Speaker 1: you achieve any values using your mind? You don't need
- 38:20Speaker 1: to work in order to feed yourself, but you need
- 38:23Speaker 1: to work in order to provide spiritual values for yourself.
- 38:27Speaker 1: I mean a million questions. All the questions that are
- 38:29Speaker 1: relevant in philosophy are relevant whether you have one dollar,
- 38:33Speaker 1: or whether you have ten million dollars or one hundred
- 38:36Speaker 1: million dollars or whatever you want. A billion dollars doesn't matter. Indeed,
- 38:40Speaker 1: not only people who inherited it, people who've made the
- 38:42Speaker 1: hundreds of millions of dollars. Often you find don't find
- 38:48Speaker 1: meaning in life, don't know what to do with their life,
- 38:50Speaker 1: don't know what to do with their time. They don't
- 38:51Speaker 1: have to work anymore, So what should they do, what
- 38:55Speaker 1: should they politics be, What kind of charity should they do?
- 38:59Speaker 1: Should they do? Check already all of that, that all
- 39:01Speaker 1: requires philosophy, Upton. What's it going to take to translate
- 39:11Speaker 1: Rand's work into false and mass distributed in Iran? I
- 39:14Speaker 1: don't think it's going to be that problematic once this
- 39:18Speaker 1: regime is replaced. I think there are people that people
- 39:22Speaker 1: in Iran, including the son of the Shah, who I
- 39:25Speaker 1: think is read Iran, who I think would be happy to,
- 39:30Speaker 1: you know, help translate them, help get them published, find
- 39:33Speaker 1: it publishing in Tehran. I don't think it's going to
- 39:35Speaker 1: be a problem at all once, once we can actually,
- 39:41Speaker 1: once this is achieved, once freedom in Iran is achieved,
- 39:43Speaker 1: I don't think getting Iran translated and published in false
- 39:49Speaker 1: is going to be problematic. You know, once it happens,
- 39:53Speaker 1: we can start working on. It's only the only two
- 39:57Speaker 1: major languages in the world that Iran's books are not
- 39:59Speaker 1: translated into a Farsi in Arabic and FOSSi would be
- 40:03Speaker 1: a huge, huge, huge, you know, major moments in history.
- 40:09Speaker 1: If they got if they got translations. Milko, thank you, Bravo.
- 40:14Speaker 1: You're on great day in history. Coom from Milko in Modena.
- 40:19Speaker 1: Thank you, thank you, thank you all right, Michael, thank
- 40:22Speaker 1: you for the staker, Tony, Tony, thank you for the sticker. Espend,
- 40:26Speaker 1: thank you for the sticker. All right. Steven Os asked
- 40:29Speaker 1: if you found one hundred dollars on the ground, would
- 40:31Speaker 1: you pick it up? Yeah, I'd even pick up twenty
- 40:33Speaker 1: ten one I'd pick up. Yeah. If it's on the ground,
- 40:36Speaker 1: why wouldn't I pick it up? Absolutely, I'd pick it up.
- 40:42Speaker 1: Ryan cheers to the end of the Iranian Islamic theocracy.
- 40:46Speaker 1: Thanks for all you do. Best wishes to the Iranian people.
- 40:49Speaker 1: Should we help them write their constitution? You know, if
- 40:54Speaker 1: they ask, it would be great. Since we won't have
- 40:57Speaker 1: boots on the ground. I don't think we can force
- 40:59Speaker 1: the issue, but it would be great if they were
- 41:01Speaker 1: inspired by the American Constitution. Again, I think I don't
- 41:04Speaker 1: know this for a fact, but I do know that
- 41:08Speaker 1: the son of the Shaw, who might be a unifying
- 41:11Speaker 1: figure when he goes back to Iran. The son of
- 41:17Speaker 1: the Shaw has red eye rand and was influenced by
- 41:21Speaker 1: a friend of mine who is no longer with us
- 41:24Speaker 1: years ago, who was an objectivist, and I think influenced
- 41:28Speaker 1: influenced him with objectivism, so you know, they might have
- 41:33Speaker 1: a decent grasp. I think he was even helping him
- 41:35Speaker 1: write a potential constitution for Iran. I'm not sure of that,
- 41:38Speaker 1: but I have this recollection. Let me just see Jennifer
- 41:44Speaker 1: says Tel Aviv was just bombed. So let's take a
- 41:47Speaker 1: look at my telegram channels and see what they're saying
- 41:51Speaker 1: about a potential attack in Tel Aviv. Uh. Okay, everybody,
- 42:03Speaker 1: everybody's been asked to be in the shelters. They're not
- 42:05Speaker 1: giving you the location of hits because they found that
- 42:09Speaker 1: the Iranians use that information to better target their missiles.
- 42:14Speaker 1: But a bunch of missiles were sent to central Israel
- 42:20Speaker 1: a few minutes ago, so likely some of them probably landed.
- 42:26Speaker 1: Israeli Air Force is in Iran as we speak, bombing
- 42:29Speaker 1: targets right now as we speak. Let's see videos of
- 42:41Speaker 1: the Iranians celebrating. Am all right, let me just check
- 42:51Speaker 1: another another source of what is going on. Okay, that's
- 42:58Speaker 1: just Area Shelter's announcement. Okay, we we've got a list
- 43:07Speaker 1: of the people who have been uh assassinated. The head
- 43:11Speaker 1: of the UH, the head of the Islamic Revolutionary God
- 43:13Speaker 1: we We said that the uh I lead advisor to
- 43:17Speaker 1: Hominee uh Ier with regard to security issues was found
- 43:21Speaker 1: was Uh was killed. The the head of the military,
- 43:28Speaker 1: the military attache to Hominy was killed, The defense minister
- 43:31Speaker 1: was killed. This fund I'm not sure what this fund.
- 43:39Speaker 1: And then the head of the of of of one
- 43:42Speaker 1: of the heads of the intelligence departments was killed as
- 43:44Speaker 1: well as some of the uh intelligence people. The the
- 43:48Speaker 1: the head of the equivalent of the CIA were killed
- 43:51Speaker 1: as well. So uh uh significant significant decapitation uh uhlia
- 43:56Speaker 1: today right, all right? Yeah, videos of people celebrating in
- 44:07Speaker 1: the streets in Tahira pretty amazing to see that as
- 44:13Speaker 1: the bombing continues, people are actually out there celebrating. All right,
- 44:18Speaker 1: Neo says, it seems like the only countries to ever
- 44:21Speaker 1: take action on anything of the United States and Israel,
- 44:24Speaker 1: while Europe stays weak. It's more understanding that US would
- 44:29Speaker 1: take a seat due to its senseless wars, but Europe
- 44:33Speaker 1: has no excuse. Well, I mean it has no excuse,
- 44:37Speaker 1: but Europe has no Maral backbone. It won't criticize the
- 44:41Speaker 1: Islamists in its own mists. It won't criticize your real law.
- 44:45Speaker 1: It is completely one hundred percent bought into, you know,
- 44:48Speaker 1: the notions of multiculturalism and in moral relativism. It will
- 44:53Speaker 1: not stand up for itself. Now it will. It's doing
- 44:56Speaker 1: a decent job standing up to Russia and supporting Ukraine.
- 45:00Speaker 1: But as soon as it goes beyond the realm of
- 45:03Speaker 1: directly affecting Europe, and particularly when it comes to the
- 45:06Speaker 1: Muslim world, which it blames itself for. Because everything bad
- 45:11Speaker 1: in the world there is a consequence of colonialism. Europe,
- 45:15Speaker 1: you know, is just impotent and refuses to take any actions. Now,
- 45:19Speaker 1: as I said, the Brits do have airplanes up in
- 45:21Speaker 1: the air above the Middle East helping to knock down
- 45:26Speaker 1: some of these drones and some of these missiles, I
- 45:29Speaker 1: think partially at the request of some of the Arab
- 45:32Speaker 1: nations that were attacked by Iran earlier today. But yeah, overall,
- 45:37Speaker 1: Europe is unbelievably, unbelievably weak, unbelievably weak, and pathetically so. Really,
- 45:44Speaker 1: and this just shows how morally bankrupt the continent is
- 45:48Speaker 1: and European culture is. And in that sense, you know,
- 45:54Speaker 1: Europe needs to perform now. The fact that America has
- 45:57Speaker 1: a partial backbone right now doesn't change the fact that
- 46:01Speaker 1: American reform as well. That is that that this this
- 46:05Speaker 1: should have happened a long time ago. The fact is
- 46:07Speaker 1: that Iran has directly attacked the United States in ways
- 46:10Speaker 1: that Iran has not directly attacked Europe. Indirectly, yes, but directly.
- 46:16Speaker 1: The reality is that you know, a democratic president would
- 46:24Speaker 1: not do this, and Europe is much more like the
- 46:27Speaker 1: Democrats than they are like the Republicans. Even a farm
- 46:30Speaker 1: policy fan polsy is the only thing that Republicans are
- 46:35Speaker 1: even moderately sometimes better than Democrats at, because when it
- 46:38Speaker 1: comes to economics, there's not much of a difference. TK
- 46:42Speaker 1: chatteau RAJ, thank you, UoN, thank you, really appreciate the support.
- 46:47Speaker 1: Thank you. Let's who we had. Will Will thank you
- 46:51Speaker 1: for the sticker, appreciate it. And Enrick, thank you for
- 46:55Speaker 1: the sticker. Really appreciate it. All right, let's go back
- 46:58Speaker 1: to some of these questions. You can keep keep them
- 47:01Speaker 1: on because there's not a lot and uh in between,
- 47:05Speaker 1: I will I will check on the news. I mean, basically,
- 47:08Speaker 1: Twitter is flooded with notices that uh that harmony is dead.
- 47:23Speaker 3: I mean it would be it would be amazing.
- 47:27Speaker 1: Right just looking. I mean, Trump is saying this could
- 47:40Speaker 1: be long, this could be short. I have a lot
- 47:42Speaker 1: of off ramps. I could stop anytime I want. He's
- 47:45Speaker 1: not committing all in, He's not gone all in. I
- 47:48Speaker 1: think these Raelis are all in. I don't think the
- 47:51Speaker 1: Americans are. And I wouldn't be surprised if there was
- 47:53Speaker 1: some initiative by the Iranians to try to go back
- 47:56Speaker 1: to the negotiating table. I hope Trump resists that, and
- 48:00Speaker 1: that it allows if America won't do it, at least
- 48:03Speaker 1: allows Israel to finish the job, finish the job.
- 48:14Speaker 3: All right, let's see what else we have here?
- 48:19Speaker 1: Yeah, all right, I don't see any big news coming
- 48:34Speaker 1: out at this point. Oh, Secretary General of the United
- 48:42Speaker 1: Nations now has condemned the military attack. I'm shocked. I'm
- 48:47Speaker 1: surprised the UN is attacking. What the hell? Daniel Hannon
- 48:56Speaker 1: has a whole list of ways in which nineteen seventy
- 48:59Speaker 1: now the Iranians have killed and attacked and harassed and
- 49:05Speaker 1: used violence against Brits. So there's a whole list. So yeah,
- 49:10Speaker 1: even even the Brits have have reason to to engage
- 49:16Speaker 1: with the Iranians and see regime change, even they have
- 49:19Speaker 1: been attacked and killed by UH by the Iranians. Greg says,
- 49:24Speaker 1: how would you compare a contrast a morality of Judaism
- 49:27Speaker 1: with a morality outlined by iron Rand.
- 49:33Speaker 4: Give me a minute, Give me one minute, mh.
- 49:52Speaker 1: Turn down service in my hotel? All right, God, that
- 49:55Speaker 1: is a big question to ask right in the middle
- 49:57Speaker 1: of this, and Amen comes in five hundred dollars. I hope,
- 50:01Speaker 1: I mean that the family you have in Iran are safe.
- 50:04Speaker 1: I hope they stay safe. I hope, I hope they
- 50:08Speaker 1: get to breathe the error of freedom soon enough. I
- 50:13Speaker 1: hope that you will be able to go back to visit.
- 50:17Speaker 1: I hope that the that yeah, that there will be,
- 50:23Speaker 1: that you and your family will be able to celebrate
- 50:25Speaker 1: the the you know, freedom in Iran soon soon. Amen says,
- 50:33Speaker 1: in spite of the fact that again he has family there,
- 50:36Speaker 1: his family has family there is great day to day,
- 50:38Speaker 1: not in spite of because of he has a direct
- 50:42Speaker 1: direct interest in seeing Iran liberated and seeing how many
- 50:46Speaker 1: comedy is already dead, but seeing this regime and uh,
- 50:52Speaker 1: you know, buried in history. Okay, let's go back to
- 50:55Speaker 1: Greg's question, how would you compare a contrast the morality
- 50:57Speaker 1: of Judaism with the morality of outlined by Well. I mean,
- 51:01Speaker 1: the big difference is that the morality of Judaism is
- 51:05Speaker 1: a morality of authoritarianism. Is it a morality dictated by
- 51:09Speaker 1: a God without justification. It's a morality that is arbitrary
- 51:14Speaker 1: and random. It's a morality that does not have much
- 51:19Speaker 1: to say positively about how to live your life. It
- 51:23Speaker 1: has lots of commandments on dictating how you should live,
- 51:26Speaker 1: even to the point of what you should eat and
- 51:27Speaker 1: when you should eat it, and all of that kind
- 51:29Speaker 1: of stuff. Six is it six hundred and seventy commandments?
- 51:34Speaker 1: But morality for Judaism is commandments. I think the morality
- 51:39Speaker 1: of Judaism is less altruistic than Christianity. It doesn't have
- 51:43Speaker 1: Jesus dying for all of our sins. The morality of
- 51:45Speaker 1: Judaism is not quite as sacrificial and altruistic. But the
- 51:52Speaker 1: morality of Judaism is still a religious, top down authoritarian morality.
- 51:58Speaker 1: Eroinman's morality is a morality consistent with human nature. It
- 52:02Speaker 1: is a morality in a sense derived inductively from human nature.
- 52:08Speaker 1: From the nature of existence, from observing the world, from
- 52:12Speaker 1: observing what is successful for human beings given the kind
- 52:16Speaker 1: of animal human beings are. Iran's morality is derived from nature.
- 52:21Speaker 1: In other words, it's it's derived from the facts of science,
- 52:26Speaker 1: and as such it is tuned to human life. You know.
- 52:33Speaker 1: Iinance morality places emphasis on things that Jewish morality just doesn't. Yeah,
- 52:39Speaker 1: Jeish melody says shall not murder, but shall not Murderan's
- 52:43Speaker 1: morality is that shall not use initiate force? Who should
- 52:48Speaker 1: use force only in self defense for example, which is
- 52:51Speaker 1: a much broader concept. There is no real respect for
- 52:57Speaker 1: individual rights, so individual happiness, there's no striving to individual
- 53:02Speaker 1: happiness in morality. They might be in a culture of Judaism,
- 53:06Speaker 1: but not really. But there's nothing in Jewish morality that
- 53:09Speaker 1: says that your moral duty not duty, your moral purpose
- 53:13Speaker 1: in life is your own happiness that doesn't exist. So
- 53:16Speaker 1: they're completely different. There's nothing similar about them. Judaism is
- 53:20Speaker 1: a primitive, authoritarian, top down morality derived from not derived,
- 53:27Speaker 1: but commanded by ancient books. Einran's morality is derived from
- 53:32Speaker 1: nature and from the nature of man. To be consistent
- 53:36Speaker 1: with the nature of man and targeted at success in
- 53:41Speaker 1: this world, whereas Jewish morality is targeted at pleasing God.
- 53:47Speaker 1: So by every measure it's different. Graham, I just wanted
- 53:53Speaker 1: to show my support. It's a great day and hopefully
- 53:56Speaker 1: one that will change the world. It certainly looks like
- 53:59Speaker 1: it's going to Michael. As awful as Trump is, a
- 54:03Speaker 1: highly that Kamala administration would engage in toppling the Iranian regime.
- 54:07Speaker 1: Absolutely would not any d Kamala has already come out
- 54:10Speaker 1: to denounce this attack. So as you say, as awful
- 54:16Speaker 1: as Trump is, this is something he's done right and
- 54:19Speaker 1: that the Democrat would not have. But I will say this,
- 54:22Speaker 1: I do believe that a Nikki Haley Niki Haley government
- 54:26Speaker 1: would have done this. A Nikki Haley administration would have
- 54:29Speaker 1: done this. I think that many of the people running
- 54:31Speaker 1: in the primaries against Trump, DeSantis, and many of the
- 54:36Speaker 1: others would have done this. So I don't think this
- 54:38Speaker 1: is uniquely Trump. I think any of the Republicans could
- 54:40Speaker 1: have beaten Kamala, and any of the Republicans would have
- 54:42Speaker 1: sided here with Israel in this attempt to topple the regime.
- 54:45Speaker 1: Given everything that's happened, and given everything that's led up
- 54:48Speaker 1: to this point. All right, thank you guys, really appreciate
- 54:55Speaker 1: all the support. This is great, and again thank you
- 54:58Speaker 1: again to Arman and good luck with everything.
- 55:01Speaker 3: And I guess hope family is safe.
- 55:05Speaker 1: Roman. Should political parties be treated like unions by the law?
- 55:09Speaker 1: Freedom of association but no legislative privileges? I don't know.
- 55:17Speaker 1: It sounds right, but I don't know. I don't know
- 55:19Speaker 1: the details of what you're talking about. I'd have to
- 55:21Speaker 1: know more about what all this means, legislative privileges and
- 55:25Speaker 1: freedom of exactly what that means. I don't know. Suddenly,
- 55:28Speaker 1: freedom of association, but I don't know what legislative privileges mean.
- 55:32Speaker 1: Star jet Aman and hallelujah, the Big bad Wolf is
- 55:35Speaker 1: slain one of them. We'll see if the whole regime
- 55:39Speaker 1: will be toppled. Justin watching the news and I don't
- 55:44Speaker 1: see an arsenal of bombs dropping. Will strikes intensify if
- 55:49Speaker 1: they don't, Is it a concern that this military action
- 55:52Speaker 1: isn't enough to flatten iERG No, I don't see. I
- 55:57Speaker 1: don't know what arsenal bombs you're talking about. You mean
- 56:01Speaker 1: from Iran or do you mean from the United States.
- 56:06Speaker 1: You know, I don't know. I don't think you're seeing anything.
- 56:09Speaker 1: I don't think the newser is reporting on anything significant.
- 56:13Speaker 1: You've got cameras maybe in Tehran, but they are bases
- 56:17Speaker 1: and military depots and places all over Yuan that are
- 56:21Speaker 1: being attacked. You're seeing a fraction of what is actually happening.
- 56:25Speaker 1: They are naval bases, they're naval ships that are on
- 56:28Speaker 1: fire that you're not seeing a video of. I also
- 56:32Speaker 1: think that this is day one, and this is almost
- 56:35Speaker 1: all or mostly Israel, some America, but mostly Israel. They
- 56:41Speaker 1: haven't brought in B twos, they haven't brought in B
- 56:43Speaker 1: fifty two s. Maybe they won't. I don't know. I
- 56:45Speaker 1: don't know what the United States is planning overall here.
- 56:50Speaker 1: You know, they could have flattened harmonies compound with a
- 56:55Speaker 1: B two and yet they chose to drop thirty bombs
- 56:58Speaker 1: from Israeli fighters instead. So I don't know what the
- 57:02Speaker 1: plan is. I don't know how much of the American
- 57:04Speaker 1: arsenal is going to be used. It's certainly I think
- 57:08Speaker 1: are going to deplete these really arsenal. They'll drop everything
- 57:10Speaker 1: they have. But look, I guess I don't know what
- 57:17Speaker 1: you would expect to see on the news how many
- 57:21Speaker 1: bombs is all bombed? Five hundred different targets earlier today,
- 57:25Speaker 1: they're bombing right now, more targets, what more. I'm not
- 57:29Speaker 1: sure exactly what more you want now. It would be
- 57:31Speaker 1: great if America fully participated and went all in and
- 57:34Speaker 1: made this quick and decisive and it didn't drag out,
- 57:37Speaker 1: But it also might drag out for days, weeks, probably
- 57:42Speaker 1: not months, but potentially weeks. They'll have to figure out
- 57:48Speaker 1: every last Islamic Revolutionary Guard base. They'll have to figure
- 57:52Speaker 1: out every stock pile of nuclear material, every stock pile
- 57:56Speaker 1: of ballistic missiles. Every region leader will have to be
- 58:01Speaker 1: hunted down and killed from the air, which is not easy.
- 58:04Speaker 1: But no, I don't see any problem with a number
- 58:07Speaker 1: of bombs being dropped. It's it's where they're being dropped,
- 58:09Speaker 1: on what they're being dropped, and who is getting killed.
- 58:13Speaker 1: Stephen kats is funding Wildflyer. I don't think Wildflyer is here,
- 58:17Speaker 1: so you know it's I appreciate that. Thank you. Maybe
- 58:22Speaker 1: you're funding me for future wildfires. Harrison A million Emilias
- 58:28Speaker 1: is another great song AI song, new great new AI song.
- 58:33Speaker 1: Don't know who made it, but it's awesome. Music is
- 58:36Speaker 1: about to become so cheap and plentiful. Yeah, I wonder
- 58:40Speaker 1: what happens to musicians as that happens. Interesting, excellent Mike.
- 58:45Speaker 1: How likely is it the Turkey will fill the Slami's
- 58:48Speaker 1: vacuum left by the fall of these Iran's Muller's commonly
- 58:52Speaker 1: do they significantly expod Islamism like Yuani Katan, nothing like
- 58:55Speaker 1: Yanic Katan to a large extent. The reason is that
- 58:58Speaker 1: Turkey is not a rich country. Turki has no oil reserves.
- 59:03Speaker 1: Turkey has a difficult economy. It's been fighting inflation and
- 59:07Speaker 1: very high interest rates for a long time. It doesn't
- 59:11Speaker 1: have the kind of population that is so rapidly Islamist
- 59:19Speaker 1: that they are willing to be poor in order to
- 59:22Speaker 1: fund all these Islamic regime Islamic organizations all over the world.
- 59:27Speaker 1: Turkey's much of Turkish population, a significant portion of Turkish
- 59:30Speaker 1: population is secular. In spite of the fact that Ourduan
- 59:34Speaker 1: is a Islamist, the rest of Turkey is not. And
- 59:38Speaker 1: he can only do so much. He can only do
- 59:41Speaker 1: someone now. He can do a lot of damage, and
- 59:43Speaker 1: he's very influential and Syria right now, But he doesn't.
- 59:49Speaker 1: He doesn't want sharia law. There's no Sharia law in Turkey.
- 59:52Speaker 1: Turkey is not exactly a model Islamist state, whereas Iwan was.
- 59:57Speaker 1: This is a key point, an important point I should
- 59:59Speaker 1: have made a but Ran falling, You've basically got the
- 1:00:05Speaker 1: one Islamist state other than the Taliban in Afghanistan, the
- 1:00:10Speaker 1: one country run by sharia law, the one country dedicated
- 1:00:14Speaker 1: to Sharia law, the one country that is constitutionally Islamist
- 1:00:19Speaker 1: and in every way manifest Islamism. The way they treat women,
- 1:00:22Speaker 1: the covering of the hair, the way they treat music,
- 1:00:26Speaker 1: all of this. This is the one country in the
- 1:00:28Speaker 1: world that is dedicated to this, and it falls. That
- 1:00:33Speaker 1: sends a signal to the entire Islamist movement, It sends
- 1:00:36Speaker 1: a signal to other countries that might think of being Islamist,
- 1:00:39Speaker 1: and no other country can really replace it without becoming
- 1:00:43Speaker 1: totally Islamist. And I don't think the Turkish people would
- 1:00:46Speaker 1: stand for that. I don't think they were tolerated. So no,
- 1:00:51Speaker 1: I do not think Turkey can fill in that gap.
- 1:00:54Speaker 1: It will try to some extent, but it's nowhere years
- 1:00:57Speaker 1: influential and nowhere years powerful and nowhere near as admitted
- 1:01:00Speaker 1: to Islam, which is what you need to fill in
- 1:01:03Speaker 1: that gap. All right, Harrison, I've got a song, Recursive
- 1:01:07Speaker 1: Revolution by feed rate Command, inspired by what you said
- 1:01:11Speaker 1: about a new AI driven industry of revolution that we're
- 1:01:14Speaker 1: living through today. It comes out next Friday. Cool. Check
- 1:01:18Speaker 1: it out, guys, feed rate command, feed rate command on Spotify. Okay, Michael,
- 1:01:27Speaker 1: what is Trump's thought process with this attack? He just
- 1:01:31Speaker 1: likes exerting power part of it, yes, or he sees
- 1:01:34Speaker 1: real economic opportunities in opening the Ranian market. I think both.
- 1:01:39Speaker 1: I think he sees opportunities to lower the price of oil,
- 1:01:41Speaker 1: which is very much focused on. I think he sees
- 1:01:44Speaker 1: opportunity to flex muscle, which I think is important to him.
- 1:01:49Speaker 1: I think he also know this shows him as a
- 1:01:54Speaker 1: strong leader. He likes that and it diverts attention from
- 1:01:57Speaker 1: his problems. He likes that. I think I think he
- 1:02:03Speaker 1: thinks it's cool to be strong and and flexing muscles.
- 1:02:08Speaker 1: You know, it's that that is I think a lot
- 1:02:10Speaker 1: of is a lot of who he is is tied
- 1:02:12Speaker 1: up with that kind of stuff, and this is a
- 1:02:14Speaker 1: great opportunity for him to do exactly that. I also
- 1:02:18Speaker 1: think that there are people within his administration and maybe
- 1:02:22Speaker 1: him as well, who genuinely support Israel and genuinely view
- 1:02:26Speaker 1: Iran as a as a threat. Remember Trump did take
- 1:02:31Speaker 1: out Sulimani, the head of the Islamic Revolutionary God, in
- 1:02:37Speaker 1: his first term in Iraq, and so he has he
- 1:02:43Speaker 1: has been willing to strike Iraq in the past as well.
- 1:02:46Speaker 1: So this is just taking that to its full logical conclusion.
- 1:02:52Speaker 1: So I think that's what he gets out of it,
- 1:02:53Speaker 1: and it's a diversion. He's his Poul ratings are very
- 1:02:56Speaker 1: very low. He can't go any lower. Might as well
- 1:02:59Speaker 1: do something like this with the hope that improves his chances.
- 1:03:02Speaker 1: If you get regime changing Irong, does that improve the
- 1:03:05Speaker 1: chances of Republicans in the midterm elections. Maybe I don't know,
- 1:03:08Speaker 1: but it could very well be. Stephanie globalized the idef.
- 1:03:15Speaker 4: No, no, don't, don't, don't, don't don't.
- 1:03:19Speaker 1: You know, we don't want the bad guys to be
- 1:03:20Speaker 1: as competent and as amazingly efficacious as the idea. Is
- 1:03:26Speaker 1: Israel needs the idea. If the rest of the world
- 1:03:29Speaker 1: maybe can do without Michael, Every regime that tries to
- 1:03:36Speaker 1: destroy the Jews always loses. Oh, I don't know. Christianity
- 1:03:40Speaker 1: tried to destroy the Jews and its survived a long, long,
- 1:03:43Speaker 1: long time. The Romans tried to survive the Jews to
- 1:03:46Speaker 1: destroy the Jews. Yeah, they lost in the end, but
- 1:03:48Speaker 1: it took hundreds of years. You know, I wouldn't generalize
- 1:03:51Speaker 1: like that reason twenty twenty five. Thank you. This is
- 1:03:56Speaker 1: some Steve Brunetti. Thank you, Steve, reallyppreciate the support. Think
- 1:04:01Speaker 1: you think you think it's one hundred dollars. That is
- 1:04:03Speaker 1: very very generous. Michael, always seeing the beginning of the
- 1:04:07Speaker 1: end of the theocratic authoritarian model, will the Arab nations
- 1:04:11Speaker 1: start mimicking Dubai instead? Well, I mean they are a
- 1:04:15Speaker 1: ready right. I mean, which Arab country is moving towards theocracy?
- 1:04:19Speaker 1: The only one really is Syria, and that is spurred
- 1:04:22Speaker 1: along by the talks, and this might change the dynamics
- 1:04:25Speaker 1: in Syria. This might change that. But really the rest
- 1:04:30Speaker 1: of the Arab world is moving towards the Saudi UAE
- 1:04:34Speaker 1: Dubai type model of authoritarian regimes, but authoritarian regimes and
- 1:04:39Speaker 1: Muslim regimes, but the Theraitarian regimes that don't trust the Islamists.
- 1:04:44Speaker 1: You remember Saudi Arabia and Dubai. The UAE have outlawed
- 1:04:49Speaker 1: the Muslim brotherhood. Europe hasn't outlawed the Muslim Brotherhood, but
- 1:04:52Speaker 1: in America hasn't consistently, but Arab countries have. So we
- 1:05:00Speaker 1: will see. We will see what the impact this has
- 1:05:01Speaker 1: in place like Jordan and An, Iraq, Irak is in
- 1:05:05Speaker 1: play now. Once Iran is gone, once the Iranian influence
- 1:05:10Speaker 1: on Iraqi politics is gone. If Iran can become a
- 1:05:14Speaker 1: truly free country, wow that changes Iraq. I Warkan now
- 1:05:21Speaker 1: has a shot at actually changing its ways, in becoming
- 1:05:25Speaker 1: a functional country, in destroying the elements of Islamism in
- 1:05:28Speaker 1: Iraq and God the spillover effects are amazing. And again,
- 1:05:34Speaker 1: the spillover effects of what we're seeing right now are
- 1:05:36Speaker 1: going to be massive. This is a massive geopolitical event.
- 1:05:43Speaker 1: This is not just another war. This is a war
- 1:05:45Speaker 1: that could change the world from anyway, from impacts on
- 1:05:50Speaker 1: Russia and Ukraine war to impacts on pretty much everything
- 1:05:54Speaker 1: in the Middle East. Stephen, thank you for the sticker.
- 1:05:57Speaker 1: Really appreciate it. Okay, let's check I ran out of questions,
- 1:06:00Speaker 1: so let's check the UH. Let's check the Twitter feed
- 1:06:05Speaker 1: and UH and my uh, my telegram accounts still Iranian
- 1:06:20Speaker 1: missiles in the skies of Doha, which is in Katao.
- 1:06:24Speaker 1: So that's that's pretty amazing that the Iranians have decided
- 1:06:27Speaker 1: to bomb kata right, it's one ally in the Middle East. Wow,
- 1:06:33Speaker 1: these pictures of Iranians going out to the streets and
- 1:06:35Speaker 1: celebrated pretty amazing. I mean actually large groups of people
- 1:06:41Speaker 1: hanging together. Very dangerous in a in a war zone.
- 1:06:44Speaker 1: Uh to be to be doing this, uh. But but
- 1:06:47Speaker 1: real energy music, dancing, pretty pretty amazing stuff. Okay, there
- 1:06:55Speaker 1: was a there's a missile that did drop somewhere in
- 1:06:59Speaker 1: central Israel. They won't they won't give it. Uh, won't
- 1:07:03Speaker 1: give the location. Unfortunately, Israelis have taken photographs of the
- 1:07:11Speaker 1: of the hits, and that is being used by Iranian
- 1:07:16Speaker 1: media to suggest that it is inflicting significant damage on Israel,
- 1:07:20Speaker 1: which it is not. Uh. Israelis have been asked not
- 1:07:24Speaker 1: to take photos and not to upload those photos onto
- 1:07:27Speaker 1: social media, so the Uranians can't use it as propaganda.
- 1:07:30Speaker 1: Israelis are doing it anyway, you know, celebrations in Iran,
- 1:07:39Speaker 1: not just into Hran, but in other cities as well. Yeah,
- 1:07:46Speaker 1: people out in the streets that it really is amazing
- 1:07:49Speaker 1: the courage. Uh. Let's see all right now, now we're
- 1:07:54Speaker 1: seeing Israeli media reporting on a ballistic missile that hit
- 1:08:00Speaker 1: in tel Aviv. We've got at least one person who
- 1:08:04Speaker 1: is no, six people who are gravely injured, one medium injury.
- 1:08:13Speaker 1: So far, seven injuries in the Tel Aviv area. This
- 1:08:21Speaker 1: is Yeah, they're actually showing pictures of where it hit.
- 1:08:25Speaker 1: I'm trying to see if I can identify. Yeah, I
- 1:08:28Speaker 1: can't really tell. It looks like close to center of
- 1:08:32Speaker 1: tel Aviv, maybe north center of tel Aviv. Very densely
- 1:08:37Speaker 1: populated area. So so, but but I might be wrong.
- 1:08:42Speaker 1: My geography, my knowledge of tel Aviv is very mediocre
- 1:08:47Speaker 1: these days.
- 1:08:48Speaker 3: Let's check over here. What do we see?
- 1:08:52Speaker 1: Yeah? Seven injured. Yeah, so remember Israeli's including my family,
- 1:08:58Speaker 1: are still in h in safe rooms in area shelters.
- 1:09:04Speaker 1: This is still a very very deadly situation in Israel.
- 1:09:09Speaker 1: All the Iranians can do is lob these kind of
- 1:09:12Speaker 1: dumb ballistic missiles, and a certain percentage of them, a
- 1:09:15Speaker 1: small percentage, luckily, but a certain percentage of them do
- 1:09:18Speaker 1: get through the aerial defenses, even with the USS Ford
- 1:09:22Speaker 1: there and with all the Israelis very advanced anti missile technology,
- 1:09:27Speaker 1: some of them do get through. So you know, we
- 1:09:35Speaker 1: will see, hopefully, hopefully there won't be more casualties on
- 1:09:38Speaker 1: the Israeli side. Let me just see if there's anything here.
- 1:09:47Speaker 1: All right, thank you, un Sam, really appreciated fifty dollars,
- 1:09:54Speaker 1: Really appreciate the support. Thank you. Let's see. I think
- 1:09:58Speaker 1: we've got another question. Oh got a bunch of questions
- 1:10:00Speaker 1: came in. Okay, Mirkatz says, I'm waiting for the day
- 1:10:04Speaker 1: I can sit down in some anime Nico Cafe on
- 1:10:08Speaker 1: Pava Pa Lavi Square and Israel Amili Chai and Payan
- 1:10:16Speaker 1: de Iran. Yeah. Somebody suggested today that maybe a year
- 1:10:20Speaker 1: from now I'll be doing the Iran book Show from
- 1:10:23Speaker 1: Tehran live from Tehran. That would be pretty amazing if
- 1:10:26Speaker 1: we reached that point, that that would be really, really,
- 1:10:29Speaker 1: really really something star Jet. This will boost Trump's midterms
- 1:10:33Speaker 1: and save his presidency. Maybe maybe not. Americans don't care
- 1:10:38Speaker 1: that much about phign policy. Americans, while they support I
- 1:10:42Speaker 1: think overall this attack on Iran, I don't think it
- 1:10:45Speaker 1: plays that big of a role in their thinking. They're
- 1:10:47Speaker 1: much more concerned about pocketbook issues than they are about
- 1:10:50Speaker 1: what's happening in Iran. Rahazam says, thank you, Iran. I'll
- 1:10:56Speaker 1: catch it after as I usually do. You are my
- 1:10:59Speaker 1: news from home to work and back. Glad to see
- 1:11:02Speaker 1: Iran government getting what they earned. All the best and
- 1:11:06Speaker 1: safe travel. Thank you, Thank you, justin it's one hundred dollars,
- 1:11:11Speaker 1: really really really really really appreciate that. Mailcott's YouTube won't
- 1:11:16Speaker 1: let me say the thing I like to say. They're
- 1:11:20Speaker 1: silencing you. What can I say your makeup? But you
- 1:11:23Speaker 1: know that I know what you want to say, so
- 1:11:25Speaker 1: don't worry about it. Hi Iran, did you acknowledge wildflower?
- 1:11:30Speaker 1: She came back? What about the Taliban? Are we at
- 1:11:33Speaker 1: war with Iran? Now? Yeah, We're definitely at war with Iran.
- 1:11:38Speaker 1: Taliban is not going to support the Iranians. They don't
- 1:11:41Speaker 1: like the Iranians. So the Taliban is relative, is irrelevant.
- 1:11:45Speaker 1: But we are at war with Iran. But Iran can't
- 1:11:47Speaker 1: really afflict much damage on the United States. Iran is
- 1:11:51Speaker 1: very limited in what they can actually do. We are
- 1:11:54Speaker 1: bringing war to Iran, you know, so, yes, the United
- 1:11:58Speaker 1: States and Israel at war. You want I do not
- 1:12:01Speaker 1: see Wildflower? Where is Wildflower. Was she here early? I'm
- 1:12:07Speaker 1: looking through the chat to see if I can find Wildflow.
- 1:12:11Speaker 1: Wildfire is a student who attended my talk yesterday at
- 1:12:15Speaker 1: a high school here in London and then showed up
- 1:12:18Speaker 1: on my feed. Showed up in the chat yesterday asking
- 1:12:21Speaker 1: questions about capitalism. But I don't see her. I don't
- 1:12:26Speaker 1: see Wildflower here. Maybe maybe I'm missing, but yeah, I mean,
- 1:12:33Speaker 1: it'd be great if I got another follower from that
- 1:12:37Speaker 1: talking to school. I got two other students in the
- 1:12:40Speaker 1: school and now linked with me on LinkedIn. So whatever
- 1:12:44Speaker 1: I did yesterday in school had some impact on people.
- 1:12:47Speaker 1: This is good.
- 1:12:48Speaker 3: This is good.
- 1:12:50Speaker 1: Thank you, Steven Paul Ferris. They showed Trump's war room
- 1:12:56Speaker 1: after his last speech. It was absent Advance, but Cus
- 1:13:00Speaker 1: was front and sent interesting. Yeah, I mean Ted Cruz
- 1:13:03Speaker 1: would be much more pro this. Vance was anti Vance
- 1:13:07Speaker 1: was against this, as was Tulsi Gubbert. Tulsi Gubbert was
- 1:13:11Speaker 1: not supportive of this attack. So the more Maga, more
- 1:13:16Speaker 1: new right, more national conservative types vance against this. Sol
- 1:13:23Speaker 1: though Marco Rubio, who's becoming a national conservative, is very
- 1:13:26Speaker 1: much for it. But kuss Is very much would be
- 1:13:30Speaker 1: very much for this attack. To his credit versus vance
- 1:13:34Speaker 1: as competed evans. Yes, it's me corrupting the youth. Nick
- 1:13:39Speaker 1: constantly out there in the world trying to corrupt the youth.
- 1:13:42Speaker 1: We'll do some more of that corrupting on Monday. Let's see. Yeah,
- 1:13:50Speaker 1: they now former chairman of the SPEND is what is that? Yeah,
- 1:14:00Speaker 1: we've got we've got lists of people now being reported
- 1:14:05Speaker 1: as having been eliminated in the air strikes earlier today,
- 1:14:08Speaker 1: and I'm sure those lists will get updated even more
- 1:14:13Speaker 1: over time over time. All right, let's see. Yeah, I
- 1:14:23Speaker 1: mean the the pictures from yeah, this one so Dubai
- 1:14:27Speaker 1: International Airport, I think before we so Quit International Airport.
- 1:14:30Speaker 1: I mean they really hit the airports and there's real damage. Again,
- 1:14:33Speaker 1: not making friends among the Arab world. All right, Yeah,
- 1:14:46Speaker 1: the chairman of the Organization of Defensive Innovation Research the
- 1:14:50Speaker 1: spn D has been killed and his formerhead is being killed.
- 1:14:55Speaker 1: By the way, Israel attacked the home of the former president,
- 1:14:59Speaker 1: I'm the Judd. Which is interesting that they're also attacking
- 1:15:02Speaker 1: FORMA leaders of the Iranian regime, maybe to prevent those
- 1:15:09Speaker 1: people from replacing the current leadership. Uh yeah, yeah, I
- 1:15:37Speaker 1: mean people are pointing out the extent to which F
- 1:15:41Speaker 1: thirty fives are flying into Iran, which is protected by
- 1:15:44Speaker 1: some of the most advanced infense systems in the world,
- 1:15:48Speaker 1: multi layers, Russian systems, Chinese radars and all of that,
- 1:15:53Speaker 1: and it means nothing to them, means nothing to them.
- 1:15:55Speaker 1: They go in, they destroy those systems, they destroy those radars,
- 1:15:59Speaker 1: and you know, the airplanes themselves are not threatened by
- 1:16:05Speaker 1: any of this. It is you know, it just shows
- 1:16:09Speaker 1: the superiority, the significant, dramatic superiority of America air power.
- 1:16:16Speaker 1: And this is and will there's some amazing footage of
- 1:16:21Speaker 1: the airplanes flying and what they can do with the
- 1:16:23Speaker 1: F thirty five. But this just shows that if a
- 1:16:26Speaker 1: country like Ukraine had F thirty fives, if a country
- 1:16:29Speaker 1: like Ukraine had American technology, they could establish air dominance
- 1:16:34Speaker 1: and the drones would become less relevant because once you
- 1:16:37Speaker 1: establish a dominance, you win. I mean, it's very difficult
- 1:16:43Speaker 1: to deal with F thirty five F sixteen's that are
- 1:16:49Speaker 1: not threatened, not threatened by the ground. Let me just
- 1:16:56Speaker 1: see what else we have. Okay, Downtown DC, there are
- 1:17:09Speaker 1: pictures of uh downtown DC, hundreds of Persians outside the
- 1:17:13Speaker 1: White House celebrating the ouster of the Iranian regime. I
- 1:17:17Speaker 1: mean Iranians. Iranians are celebrating er not in Tehran and
- 1:17:20Speaker 1: and uh all over really all over all over the world.
- 1:17:24Speaker 3: So very very very cool.
- 1:17:29Speaker 1: Uh. Let's see what does and culture have to say.
- 1:17:31Speaker 1: Let's see if a culture has something interesting to say.
- 1:17:37Speaker 1: The United States has we slapping around Iran for a decade?
- 1:17:39Speaker 1: They did nothing after Trump killed Cassam Silamani, a revered
- 1:17:43Speaker 1: figured at the time. And now I was supposed to
- 1:17:45Speaker 1: believe you Ran is the biggest, baddest monster in the world. Yeah, good,
- 1:17:48Speaker 1: fine culture. At least she she gets that the stupidity
- 1:17:52Speaker 1: of the Tucker casts of the world thinking that something
- 1:17:54Speaker 1: b awful is gonna happen uh to America because of this,
- 1:18:02Speaker 1: Ian Berman writes, American and Israeli military escalation. Escalation dominance
- 1:18:07Speaker 1: is the most important geopolitical story in the Middle East
- 1:18:09Speaker 1: post October seventh. Nobility of Iran or its proxies to
- 1:18:13Speaker 1: counter strikes against them, and nobody willing or capable to
- 1:18:16Speaker 1: support them outside the region. Yeah, where the Chinese, where
- 1:18:19Speaker 1: the Russians silent nothing. I mean, they're condembing this, but
- 1:18:23Speaker 1: they're not doing anything about it. Right. Here's some updated
- 1:18:28Speaker 1: In the United States, the US Armed Forces carried out
- 1:18:32Speaker 1: nearly nine hundred strikes on Iran in the first twelve
- 1:18:34Speaker 1: hours of Operation Epic Fury, according to Fox News, with
- 1:18:38Speaker 1: strikes being launched from land, sea, and air, and including drones,
- 1:18:43Speaker 1: all while defending against hundreds of the incoming Iranian ballistic
- 1:18:46Speaker 1: missiles fight at Israel and US basis across the Middle East.
- 1:18:50Speaker 1: According to officials in Bahrain, at the headquarters of the
- 1:18:52Speaker 1: US Navy's fifth Fleet, the Iranians hit an empty warehouse
- 1:18:56Speaker 1: and a ray dome. I don't know what a raid
- 1:18:58Speaker 1: dome is. Nine hundred strikes, so somebody was saying, not
- 1:19:05Speaker 1: enough bombing. Nine hundred is a lot. And you add
- 1:19:07Speaker 1: that to the five hundred Israeli strikes, that's fourteen hundred
- 1:19:10Speaker 1: strikes in one day. That is a lot of strikes.
- 1:19:13Speaker 1: That is a lot of power. And it looks like
- 1:19:17Speaker 1: the air force did participate. Planes did participate. So maybe
- 1:19:19Speaker 1: I was wrong by emphasizing that it was just the
- 1:19:22Speaker 1: Israeli Air Force. I mean, the Slaman regime is completely
- 1:19:29Speaker 1: crippled defensively and offensively, and really that was done. Let's
- 1:19:34Speaker 1: put this in perspective that was done in a twelve
- 1:19:37Speaker 1: day war. The total award just basically crippled you on
- 1:19:41Speaker 1: took out. There's no way they could have recovered in
- 1:19:44Speaker 1: the six, six, seven, eight months since then, There's no
- 1:19:47Speaker 1: way they could have recovered, you know, by now. So
- 1:19:54Speaker 1: this is the effect of the fact that the twelve
- 1:19:57Speaker 1: day war achieved what it achieved. Now Israel in the
- 1:20:01Speaker 1: United States a free reign over over the over Iran.
- 1:20:10Speaker 1: You know, they're being these memes every time the US
- 1:20:13Speaker 1: does something like there's a there's this picture of Marco
- 1:20:16Speaker 1: Rubio becoming the president of Venezuela, and then there was
- 1:20:19Speaker 1: a picture of Michel Ruby becoming the president of Cuba.
- 1:20:22Speaker 1: And now there's this video it's pretty funny of Marco
- 1:20:27Speaker 1: Rubio becoming the supreme leader of Iran, dressed in the
- 1:20:31Speaker 1: whole Mullah outfit and the whole deal. It's it's actually
- 1:20:35Speaker 1: pretty funny that somebody managed to do this that quickly.
- 1:20:38Speaker 1: I guess ai, this is what AI can do these days, Okay,
- 1:20:44Speaker 1: according to one released, the first twenty four hours with Israel,
- 1:20:48Speaker 1: the next twenty four hours of America.
- 1:20:51Speaker 3: And you know, the.
- 1:20:54Speaker 1: America has a lot, a lot of aircraft in the vicinity.
- 1:21:00Speaker 1: Now the UK denied the Gogarcia and British airports, but
- 1:21:05Speaker 1: it doesn't matter. The B two can fly from anywhere.
- 1:21:08Speaker 1: It can fly from Missouri over the Atlantic. It delivers
- 1:21:11Speaker 1: payload and return without landing. It's done it before. So
- 1:21:16Speaker 1: we haven't seen the B twos. We haven't seen the
- 1:21:17Speaker 1: B fifty twos. And there's still a lot of F
- 1:21:21Speaker 1: thirty fives, F fifteen's, F sixteen's that are ready to
- 1:21:27Speaker 1: launch from various airports around the Middle East under US
- 1:21:32Speaker 1: control that we'll be hitting Iraq in the.
- 1:21:35Speaker 3: Days to come. All right, let's see.
- 1:21:50Speaker 1: Yeah, Dave Smith is complaining, bitching and complaining. You know,
- 1:21:55Speaker 1: with Ian Yuon defeated, he'll have some a lot less
- 1:22:00Speaker 1: to talk about. And of course he's one of these
- 1:22:04Speaker 1: people that predicted massive American casualties and all these things.
- 1:22:10Speaker 1: Here's Andrew Fox, who I'm going to be interviewing in
- 1:22:13Speaker 1: a week, I think on my show. Two things can
- 1:22:16Speaker 1: be true it at once. This is a major shock
- 1:22:18Speaker 1: to the Iranian regime. It is also the start of
- 1:22:21Speaker 1: a conflict that may last far longer than an opening
- 1:22:23Speaker 1: headlines suggest. Again, it could go either way. A quick
- 1:22:27Speaker 1: history check. Kosovo's a campaign lasted seventy eight days, and
- 1:22:30Speaker 1: then it only when a credible ground operation loomed. Libya
- 1:22:35Speaker 1: ran to undred and twenty one days and relied on
- 1:22:37Speaker 1: organized rebels with outside backing to finish the job. Iran
- 1:22:41Speaker 1: is bigger, tougher, and structurally harder to break. My full
- 1:22:46Speaker 1: day one recap is up now. Okay, so he's got
- 1:22:50Speaker 1: a recap. I will read it later and see if
- 1:22:53Speaker 1: there's anything of value to report to you guys. I'm
- 1:22:56Speaker 1: sure there will be. He's a good he's an interesting commentator.
- 1:23:03Speaker 1: All Right, we will see. We will see how long
- 1:23:09Speaker 1: this takes. It could go fast, it could go slow.
- 1:23:11Speaker 1: I just don't know. Yeah, I mean, I don't have
- 1:23:20Speaker 1: the ability, given the tech I'm using right now to
- 1:23:22Speaker 1: show you the images from Tehran of people celebrating, but
- 1:23:26Speaker 1: you should check them out on Twitter if you can.
- 1:23:30Speaker 1: All Right, let's see we have do we have additional questions,
- 1:23:33Speaker 1: Just a few additional questions, and I think we'll call
- 1:23:35Speaker 1: it in a night. Dan Dan says, really appreciate these
- 1:23:44Speaker 1: live updates. Thank you for this wonderful news. Thank you, Dan,
- 1:23:47Speaker 1: I appreciate it. NYK just tuned in studying for a
- 1:23:52Speaker 1: big exam, so can't be as involved, but had to
- 1:23:55Speaker 1: hear your take. Part of what makes me so mixed
- 1:23:58Speaker 1: about Trump. This makes the war a significantly safer place. Well,
- 1:24:02Speaker 1: once it's done, once the regime falls. Absolutely unequippoally wow,
- 1:24:07Speaker 1: two hundred dollars from Chad, Thank you, Chad. Chad writes,
- 1:24:11Speaker 1: A baby said that we use fled Ewon long ago,
- 1:24:15Speaker 1: worried her intelligent daughters would get murdered by the regime. Yeah,
- 1:24:20Speaker 1: one is now a medical researcher. Never seen her happier
- 1:24:24Speaker 1: than today. Yeah, she said her family there is in
- 1:24:27Speaker 1: the streets dancing even while bombs come in. Nice to
- 1:24:31Speaker 1: see a little justice. Absolutely, I mean, this is terrific.
- 1:24:35Speaker 1: And again, let us not I hope the Israelis and
- 1:24:39Speaker 1: the Americans not betray this Iranian happiness by cutting it short,
- 1:24:47Speaker 1: by not finishing the job. This job needs to be finished,
- 1:24:50Speaker 1: even if it takes seventy eight days, whatever it takes,
- 1:24:52Speaker 1: it needs to be finished. And again, I'm hopeful that
- 1:24:56Speaker 1: units of the Iranian military will turn against the regime.
- 1:25:00Speaker 1: That is the real hope. Let's let's hope that the
- 1:25:03Speaker 1: Mossad and the CIA and the son of the shaw
- 1:25:06Speaker 1: All using whatever influence they have within Iran to get
- 1:25:11Speaker 1: people to turn against against this regime, to turn the
- 1:25:16Speaker 1: generals against the regime, and to manifest the regime change
- 1:25:21Speaker 1: on the ground. Anyone Ian is Trump and team running
- 1:25:25Speaker 1: this from Oroologo? Irresponsible? I doubt it. Uh, you know,
- 1:25:31Speaker 1: I don't think they're running stuff. I think the generals
- 1:25:33Speaker 1: are running it. You know, command is in. I think
- 1:25:37Speaker 1: Kata Katara, you know they're running it. I don't think
- 1:25:41Speaker 1: you know. And I think that Joint Chief of Staff
- 1:25:44Speaker 1: is in, is in the Pentagon. I think you know,
- 1:25:48Speaker 1: Trump is going to get credit for command in chief,
- 1:25:51Speaker 1: but he doesn't run the operation. Uh, there's us A.
- 1:25:54Speaker 3: No.
- 1:25:55Speaker 1: This is not China Russia, which have intense intelligence and
- 1:25:59Speaker 1: listen capabilities and everything. This is Iran. I don't think.
- 1:26:04Speaker 1: I don't think there's anything really to worry about. Jim.
- 1:26:11Speaker 1: Jim says, great following along with you today. Thanks so much.
- 1:26:15Speaker 1: I appreciate it, Jim, thank you for the support. One
- 1:26:17Speaker 1: hundred dollars. That is fantastic. All right, what looks like
- 1:26:21Speaker 1: the final question? Lincoln, hoping we find a date you're
- 1:26:24Speaker 1: on can corrupt University of Arizona. I hope so too.
- 1:26:28Speaker 1: I'm not going to corrupt the university, but I hope
- 1:26:30Speaker 1: to corrupt a few minds among the students at the university.
- 1:26:33Speaker 1: That'll be terrific. Thank you, guys, Thanks all the support,
- 1:26:37Speaker 1: really really really appreciated. I will be back tomorrow. Depending
- 1:26:41Speaker 1: on what actually happens and how much news there is,
- 1:26:46Speaker 1: I might be back more than once. We'll see Tomorrow
- 1:26:49Speaker 1: is Sunday. I'll definitely be here in the evening. We'll
- 1:26:52Speaker 1: see about during the evening here in London. I'm in London,
- 1:26:55Speaker 1: remember I'm traveling. If there's news first thing in the morning,
- 1:27:00Speaker 1: I'll try to come on London time in the morning
- 1:27:02Speaker 1: as well. Let's just play by ear and see and
- 1:27:05Speaker 1: see how much news and how many broadcasts are justified.
- 1:27:12Speaker 1: Have a great rest of your weekend. Let's hope that
- 1:27:16Speaker 1: whatever is happening, what is happening right now now, whatever
- 1:27:19Speaker 1: what is happening right now in Iran, actually brings about
- 1:27:23Speaker 1: the fall of this regime. Let's hope that it's quick.
- 1:27:26Speaker 1: Let's hope that the Iranian people will have reason to
- 1:27:31Speaker 1: truly celebrate their freedom in the in the days to come.
- 1:27:35Speaker 1: Have a great night, Have a great weekend, Probably see
- 1:27:38Speaker 1: you tomorrow. By everybody,
