• 0:35
  Speaker 1: show for a body today. What'll we be a Crystal.
• 0:37
  Speaker 2: We have a new Trump truth, part market manipulation, part
• 0:40
  Speaker 2: threat to Iran.
• 0:41
  Speaker 3: Will dig into that.
• 0:42
  Speaker 2: We're going to take a look at the options for
• 0:44
  Speaker 2: ground troops that increasingly appears to be the direction that
• 0:47
  Speaker 2: Trump is headed in, so we will dig into what
• 0:50
  Speaker 2: is going on there. We are also hurtling towards an
• 0:52
  Speaker 2: economic poly crisis involving AI oil, helium, all sorts of things.
• 0:57
  Speaker 2: Sorab A Mari is going to join us to break
• 1:00
  Speaker 2: that down. He's also going to take a look at
• 1:01
  Speaker 2: this situation in Israel where they blocked the cardinal for
• 1:07
  Speaker 2: the Latin Patriarch of Jerusalem from going to the Church
• 1:10
  Speaker 2: of the Holy Sepukler for Palm Sunday, sparking a major
• 1:14
  Speaker 2: major crisis. This is the first time I think in
• 1:17
  Speaker 2: like one thousand years, so it is a big issue
• 1:20
  Speaker 2: for christianst. Yahoo himself had to respond. So Soreb is
• 1:24
  Speaker 2: also going to talk to us about that since we're
• 1:26
  Speaker 2: a little bit, you.
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: Know, Catholic experts.
• 1:29
  Speaker 2: Yeah, anytime we get into like deep religious letters.
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: With liturgy, I'm like, yeah, I had to text a
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: friend yesterday, I go, what is Palm Sunday exactly? He
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: has explained to me. I go, oh wow, so it
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: was actually about Jesus and Jerusalem. That makes it worse.
• 1:40
  Speaker 3: Yeahs actually makes.
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: It a lot worse.
• 1:41
  Speaker 2: Like it probably is significant to a lot of people.
• 1:43
  Speaker 2: So we'll get into that. Also, a crazy incident that
• 1:46
  Speaker 2: CNN documented their own photo journalists assaulted by the IDF,
• 1:50
  Speaker 2: major recriminations there as well. We are going to dig
• 1:54
  Speaker 2: into the mystery of a number of top scientists who
• 1:58
  Speaker 2: have either been killed or gone missing. Is it just
• 2:01
  Speaker 2: a coincidence? It could be could be just a coincidence,
• 2:03
  Speaker 2: but at this point there are enough of them to
• 2:06
  Speaker 2: at least take a look and go what exactly is
• 2:08
  Speaker 2: going on here? And then we're gonna have Colonel Lawrence
• 2:11
  Speaker 2: Wilkerson join us as well. You're supposed to be with
• 2:13
  Speaker 2: us last week, we had some sort of a timing
• 2:15
  Speaker 2: mess up. Hopefully we'll get him this morning. He was
• 2:17
  Speaker 2: the former chief of staff to Cole and Pwell, really
• 2:19
  Speaker 2: a hero in opposition to a Rock war, and now
• 2:22
  Speaker 2: he is speaking out against the Iran war as well.
• 2:25
  Speaker 3: So really looking forward to speaking with this.
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: That's right, And before we get to any of that,
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: thank you to everybody who's been subscribed Breakingpoints dot com
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: if you're able to help us out and support the show.
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: We'll be doing the AMA this week of course for
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: our premium subscribers, and of course you get the show
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: one hour early, uncut and all of that. Now, if

• 2:44
  Speaker 1: We are one point nine to seven million subscribers. We
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: need to get to zwo million, two million. We never
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: I didn't think it was going to happen this quickly,
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: but here we are in the midst of all this chaos.
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: So please please do help us out and do that.
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: And if you're listening to this as a podcast where
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: we've seen explosive growth as well, please share episode with
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: a friend. Clearly a lot of you have been doing that.
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: We've had tons of new people who have been coming in,
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: so sincerely, thank you and welcome if you are a
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: new listener. But let's go ahead and go to the
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: latest from Donald Trump. Literally just happening this morning, minutes
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: before we started filming. Let's go and put this up
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: here on the screen. What we have from Trump is
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: this new response, the United States of America is in
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: serious discussions with a new and more reasonable regime to
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: end our military operations in Iran. Great progress has been made,
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: but for if for any reason, a deal is not
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: shortly reached, which it probably will be, and if the
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: horror moves straight is not immediately open for business, we
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: will conclude our lovely stay in Iran by blowing up
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: and completely obliterating all of their electric generating plants, oil wells,
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: and carg Island, possibly all desalination plants which we have
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: not purposefully yet touched. This will be retribution for our
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: many soldiers and others that Iran has butchered and killed
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: over the regime's forty seven year of terror. Thank you
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: for your attention to this matter. So this is obviously
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: Trump trying to wish Cast a deal, continuing to try
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: and hold this guillotine over the Iranians heads who remain
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: very much dug in. Recall that originally we had the
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: forty eight hour deadline. Right on the eve of the
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: forty eight hour deadline expiring, which is almost exactly a
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: week to the day, Donald Trump releases something around actually
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: exactly a week to the hour when we're filming, right
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: around seven am Eastern time on Monday. He says, I'm
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: extending it by five days. So we get to the
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: fifth day, we get to Friday, we over the show,
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: we're making plans. Okay, what's it going to look like
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: for our ground invasion. Now we get a ten day extension,
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: and so now we are a couple of days into
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: that ten day extension. But clearly he's trying to wish cast,
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: trying to job own the oil markets and trying to
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: make it clear that there is some sort of quote,
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: reasonable regime in charge. Now remember, by all accounts, the
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: so called reasonable regime. This in charge is the current
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: Speaker of the Parliament, Galibov. I recommend everybody go and
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: follow this man on Twitter, because if you just see
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: what he's posting, it's pretty much the opposite of what
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: some reasonable negotiator who wants to make peace. Now, could
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: he be bluffing, It's possible. I also think we should
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: be clear about what these peace talks look like. It's
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: basically the pakistanis calling Washington and calling Tehran. That's about it.
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: We pass messages and things back and forth to be clear.
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: I support that, I want that to continue, and I
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: hope that we get to some sort of a deal.
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: But the Iranian response remains pretty steadfast. Your fifteen point plan,
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: the fifteen point plan, which includes no missile production, no proxy,
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: effective surrender, an opening of the straits, over moves, and
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: own all of that potentially in exchange for sanctions relief,
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: is off the table. The Iranians right now are in
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: a pole position of strength. There are missiles that they
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: fired just yesterday were actually double what they were firing
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: just a week ago, they've been able to inflict a
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: lot of very critical, strategic level damage to the United
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: States now, which will show you shocking images of So,
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: just to set the table for everybody who's listening, there
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: is no current situation where the horror moves straight is
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: just going to be open within the next week, where
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: some sort of grand peace deal is going to happen.
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: We are no way, in no way close to a
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: sort of deal that Donald Trump is saying right now.
• 6:10
  Speaker 3: Yeah. No, I mean, it's very obvious what's going on here.
• 6:13
  Speaker 2: Yesterday, the stock futures were shitting the bed. Oil prices
• 6:18
  Speaker 2: were spiking the previous attempt to job in the market
• 6:22
  Speaker 2: from Friday when he said, oh, we're going to do
• 6:24
  Speaker 2: a ten day extension, there was a small bump in
• 6:27
  Speaker 2: the market and then it went right back down. And
• 6:29
  Speaker 2: that was a very we talked about on Friday. That
• 6:31
  Speaker 2: was very very important because he has been trying to
• 6:35
  Speaker 2: use true social to market manipulate and buy himself more time,
• 6:39
  Speaker 2: more time for what he has no idea. He's trying
• 6:41
  Speaker 2: to figure it out. I do think in here he's
• 6:43
  Speaker 2: trying to come up with some sort of an off ramp.
• 6:45
  Speaker 2: All right, Well, if there's not a deal, then I'm
• 6:47
  Speaker 2: going to bomb the hell out of you, and that
• 6:48
  Speaker 2: will substitute for some sort of victory and then maybe
• 6:51
  Speaker 2: we'll go. But as we've said, Aron gets to say
• 6:54
  Speaker 2: in that, and Israel gets to say in that.
• 6:56
  Speaker 3: Now it does Israel deserve a say no.
• 6:57
  Speaker 2: But that is the reality of the way that this
• 7:00
  Speaker 2: Trump regien has operated.
• 7:01
  Speaker 3: So we know that it is the case.
• 7:02
  Speaker 2: That Israel will continue to get it say in the
• 7:04
  Speaker 2: matter as well. And they have no interest in allowing
• 7:08
  Speaker 2: Iran to, you know, just persist and exist as a
• 7:11
  Speaker 2: nation and get themselves back together, etc. So I think
• 7:14
  Speaker 2: it's pretty clear that's what's going on here. There's zero,
• 7:17
  Speaker 2: zero indication on the Iranian side that there is any
• 7:20
  Speaker 2: sort of like a softening of the regime. In fact,
• 7:22
  Speaker 2: all of the indications are on the other side. You know,
• 7:24
  Speaker 2: the new Supreme leader, the anti nuclear weapon Fatwa is
• 7:29
  Speaker 2: dead and gone. The new Supreme Leader purportedly is war
• 7:32
  Speaker 2: hard line. You murdered his whole family. I don't think
• 7:34
  Speaker 2: he's too psyched about doing a deal with you. The
• 7:36
  Speaker 2: other individuals who may have been more moderate, a number
• 7:40
  Speaker 2: number of them, the Israelis at our you know, with
• 7:43
  Speaker 2: our acceptance, already killed them, assassinated them. So this is
• 7:47
  Speaker 2: pure fantasy in terms of the Strait of Hormuz, and
• 7:52
  Speaker 2: the way that Trump has sort of grabbed onto this
• 7:54
  Speaker 2: as some way of demonstrating like, see they're respecting us
• 7:57
  Speaker 2: and see they're easing up is also preposterous and a lie.
• 8:01
  Speaker 2: The Iranians have said from the beginning, Well, the strait
• 8:03
  Speaker 2: is not actually closed. If you come to us, if
• 8:05
  Speaker 2: you make a deal with us, if you pay us directly,
• 8:08
  Speaker 2: and the deal is denominated in shiny as you want,
• 8:11
  Speaker 2: then we will allow your tanker to go through. That
• 8:14
  Speaker 2: has been the case from the beginning. That is no
• 8:17
  Speaker 2: change in Iranian policy, you know, at Trump's behest or
• 8:20
  Speaker 2: to give a gift to him, as was proffered by
• 8:22
  Speaker 2: Trump last week. So the whole thing is it's completely nonsense.
• 8:27
  Speaker 2: The only thing that I do take from it that
• 8:28
  Speaker 2: is a little bit hopeful is I mean, and this
• 8:30
  Speaker 2: is obviously grasping its straws. Is he's clearly trying to
• 8:34
  Speaker 2: grasp here for some way that Okay, well, if I
• 8:36
  Speaker 2: bomb them in this way, then I can just say
• 8:38
  Speaker 2: that it's mission accomplished. But even that it's hard to
• 8:40
  Speaker 2: see how that gets a sound a mission.
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: You could bomb them, you could take out their oil infrastructure.
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: So then they're going to be even more desperate. And
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: what are they going to do. They're going to continue
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: to try and to mine the horror moves straight. They'll
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: try and keep it closed. They're basically going to try
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: and continue to inflict more maximum damage because at that
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: point they're all in. This is the escalation trap, which
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: we've tried to tell everybody ad nauseum about. Let's go
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: and put a one up there on the screen. I
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: don't want to understate the level of damage that we
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: are taking here now in the Middle East. Let's start
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: with the slideshow just to show everybody. This is a
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: US Navy, a US E three G Century airborne early
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: Warning and Control aircraft, which, as you guys can see
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: right now, was basically obliterated here either by an Iranian
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: missile or a drone. We don't know exactly what it is.
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: It seems to have been a ballistic missile and drone attack. Now,
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: there are only some fourteen that are currently operational in
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: the entire United States of America's like in terms of
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: their arsenal, So this is a highly strategic asset. It's
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: one of those that you're supposed to keep the safest.
• 9:42
  Speaker 1: It was also reportedly hit with multiple other refueling tankers,
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: which is what keeps a lot of those air operations
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: continuing over Iran. Now, the fact that this was able
• 9:52
  Speaker 1: to take what is very obvious from the picture. A
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: direct hit from either an Iranian missile or a drone
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: shows targeting capable, ability penetration. This is a Prince Sultan
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: airbase in Saudi Arabia. There were multiple US service members
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: that were hit. Let's put a two up there on
• 10:09
  Speaker 1: the screen. At least twelve American troops were seriously or
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: were injured too seriously. And from what I have seen
• 10:17
  Speaker 1: from some of the intelligence analysts who are out there
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: is that there is basically no way you could have
• 10:22
  Speaker 1: done this without not only up to date real time
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: targeting information, but exact like exact coordinates to be able
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: to hit very specifically where things are. I will also
• 10:34
  Speaker 1: note this shows you how unprepared the United States is
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: for a major war. You have all of these air
• 10:39
  Speaker 1: assets that are just sitting out there in the middle
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: of a runway and obviously within range of Iranian missiles
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: and drunes. Now the theory was, oh, well, we have interceptors.
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: And I saw somebody say this, you remember when Ukraine
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: took out a bunch of Russian air assets in almost
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: the exact same way. How were we not prepared for this?
• 10:55
  Speaker 1: And it's like very obvious. I for years, and I've
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: sat at this desk, and I've talked about Ukraine Russia,
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: and for years I've heard the pushback from many of
• 11:03
  Speaker 1: my friends who are much more neocons, and they're like, well,
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: we're not the Russians. They're idiots, they're losers. They leave
• 11:09
  Speaker 1: their stuff out in the open just to get hit.
• 11:11
  Speaker 1: They can't even have air superiority. There's such a joke.
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: You know, you're an idiot for considering them such a
• 11:17
  Speaker 1: you know, a large military. Oh maybe we're a little
• 11:19
  Speaker 1: bit more like Russia than we thought. Right now, we're
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: not as bad as how they operated in Ukraine. But
• 11:24
  Speaker 1: to take major strategic hits like this, and to lose
• 11:28
  Speaker 1: so publicly, not only one of these aircraft, but also
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: take all the refeeling hits, to take the injuries, and
• 11:34
  Speaker 1: then also to show you clearly there was either a
• 11:36
  Speaker 1: failure of interceptor or we ran out both are obviously
• 11:40
  Speaker 1: you know, if you listen to our show on Thursday,
• 11:42
  Speaker 1: we showed everybody the math and the numbers. We have
• 11:44
  Speaker 1: troops that are in harms way, and this is in
• 11:46
  Speaker 1: potential preparation for any sort of ground invasion where you
• 11:50
  Speaker 1: would need a massive aerial armada to be able to
• 11:54
  Speaker 1: continue to pound things that are on the ground to
• 11:56
  Speaker 1: make sure that the actual troops are not going to
• 11:58
  Speaker 1: be put into harm's way. So this is a capability
• 12:01
  Speaker 1: and a proof that they are absolutely not out of
• 12:04
  Speaker 1: the fight in any way to be able to take
• 12:06
  Speaker 1: out strategic access multiple US bases. Remember they call them uninhabitable.
• 12:10
  Speaker 1: Now troops are working remotely, You're taking out refueling tanks,
• 12:13
  Speaker 1: you're taking out the E three. I mean, this is
• 12:15
  Speaker 1: really this is a flashing red light, Yeah, to show
• 12:19
  Speaker 1: how unprepared we are and the damage that we've now taken.
• 12:21
  Speaker 2: By the way, I don't really believe that those bases
• 12:24
  Speaker 2: are uninhabitable. I think it's just that the troops would
• 12:26
  Speaker 2: be in danger if they're there, and so, I mean
• 12:29
  Speaker 2: I think they've all been damaged, right, and the Iranians
• 12:31
  Speaker 2: have demonstrated their capacity to strike those bases are they
• 12:35
  Speaker 2: actually uninhabitable. I'm not sure that I buy that, but
• 12:38
  Speaker 2: you know, and we all know if it was the
• 12:40
  Speaker 2: Iranians who were putting their service members up in civilian hotels,
• 12:43
  Speaker 2: the way that would be portrayed as, oh, they're you know,
• 12:45
  Speaker 2: they're cowardly, they're retreating, they're using civilians as human shields,
• 12:49
  Speaker 2: et cetera, et cetera. But in any case, to your point,
• 12:52
  Speaker 2: you know, this is not we're just hitting randomly whatever
• 12:55
  Speaker 2: we can from Iran, either they have systematically gone into
• 13:00
  Speaker 2: or whatever radar capability and interceptor capability they can. So
• 13:05
  Speaker 2: you know, with this particular aircraft, why this is so significant.
• 13:08
  Speaker 2: Number One, we don't make them anymore, you know, So
• 13:10
  Speaker 2: it's not like you get and we only we don't
• 13:12
  Speaker 2: have a whole lot of them. So it's not like, yah,
• 13:13
  Speaker 2: let's just go grab a few more, No big deal. No,
• 13:16
  Speaker 2: it's a significant loss that is not easily replaced. Number Two,
• 13:20
  Speaker 2: this is like eyes and ears. It's like a mobile
• 13:22
  Speaker 2: command center. That's the way that I understand it. And
• 13:24
  Speaker 2: so this is a highly significant, very expensive piece of
• 13:27
  Speaker 2: equipment here. And it goes further to the point that
• 13:30
  Speaker 2: Iran has been trying to achieve strategical they've been trying
• 13:33
  Speaker 2: to achieve of making it more difficult for us to
• 13:36
  Speaker 2: detect what they're doing. So that is, you know, what
• 13:40
  Speaker 2: is highly significant here another thing. If we can just
• 13:42
  Speaker 2: throw a one back up on the screen here, I
• 13:44
  Speaker 2: want you people to realize the way this was presented
• 13:46
  Speaker 2: before we got the pictures was that this was damaged. Okay, No,
• 13:51
  Speaker 2: does that look like a little fender bender. Oh, it
• 13:53
  Speaker 2: was just nicked a little, just like a little gray No,
• 13:56
  Speaker 2: that thing is destroyed.
• 13:57
  Speaker 3: It's inop like it's over. It's not.
• 13:59
  Speaker 2: You're not going to take it into the repair shop
• 14:01
  Speaker 2: and you know, patch up a little bit. They lie
• 14:04
  Speaker 2: to us systematically, which is why it's so hard to know.
• 14:07
  Speaker 2: You're debating, like what's going on in these bases, how
• 14:09
  Speaker 2: damage they are, it's very hard to know. The Rinnings
• 14:12
  Speaker 2: have made all kinds of claims about you know, far
• 14:13
  Speaker 2: more service members being injured, far more service members being killed.
• 14:17
  Speaker 3: They claim they've captured.
• 14:18
  Speaker 2: Now we shouldn't take them at face value either, but
• 14:21
  Speaker 2: you know, our government has zero credibility, which is why
• 14:24
  Speaker 2: there's still so much speculation about what the true numbers
• 14:27
  Speaker 2: are and what the true level of damage is. I
• 14:30
  Speaker 2: just wanted to note one other thing about I was
• 14:32
  Speaker 2: trying to find it early in the show when we're
• 14:34
  Speaker 2: talking about Trump's market manipulation here with this new truth
• 14:37
  Speaker 2: social and how Gollibof is the guy that's been flowed
• 14:40
  Speaker 2: as all. He's the new hot ticket in terms of
• 14:42
  Speaker 2: some moderate leadership that we're gonna be able to do.
• 14:44
  Speaker 3: A deal with.
• 14:45
  Speaker 2: Gollibof literally yesterday tweeted heads up pre market. So called
• 14:50
  Speaker 2: news or quote unquote truth is often just a setup
• 14:54
  Speaker 2: for profit taking. Basically, it's a reverse indicator. Do the
• 14:57
  Speaker 2: opposite if they pump it, short it, if they dump it,
• 15:00
  Speaker 2: go long. See something tomorrow question mark, you know, the drill.
• 15:03
  Speaker 2: So getting out ahead of this truth, like, hey, Trump
• 15:06
  Speaker 2: may come out and say some shit tomorrow morning, but
• 15:08
  Speaker 2: I would not listen to the words that he's saying.
• 15:10
  Speaker 2: And this is the guy that supposedly there, you know,
• 15:13
  Speaker 2: we find him where we can do the deal with him,
• 15:15
  Speaker 2: and he's gonna he's going to give over the oil.
• 15:17
  Speaker 2: He's going to be the one that just opens the
• 15:19
  Speaker 2: strait of horbooz and let's us do whatever we want.
• 15:24
  Speaker 1: This is how Trump is trying to present it. Let's
• 15:25
  Speaker 1: put a three. This is him talking to reporters last
• 15:27
  Speaker 1: night about Air Force one. Let's take a listen.
• 15:29
  Speaker 4: We're doing extremely well in that negotiation. But you never
• 15:33
  Speaker 4: know with Ran because we negotiate with him and then
• 15:37
  Speaker 4: we always have to blow him up, whether it's a
• 15:39
  Speaker 4: BEAT two bombers or just terminating. As an example, the
• 15:44
  Speaker 4: a Ran nuclear deal done by Baracusan and Obama probably
• 15:47
  Speaker 4: the worst deal we've ever done as a country. One
• 15:49
  Speaker 4: of the dumbest deals I've ever been but I terminated
• 15:52
  Speaker 4: unfortunately otherwise right now that have a nuclear weapon. Then
• 15:56
  Speaker 4: we did the attack with a B two bombers and
• 15:58
  Speaker 4: we stopped him from having nuclear Now we had a
• 16:02
  Speaker 4: bone them up again, and we will probably I think
• 16:07
  Speaker 4: we'll make a deal with them. I'm pretty sure, but
• 16:09
  Speaker 4: this possible.
• 16:10
  Speaker 1: We won't going well, but you never know, because we
• 16:13
  Speaker 1: negotiate with them, we have to blow them up. Maybe
• 16:15
  Speaker 1: that's why they don't want to negotiate with you. You
• 16:17
  Speaker 1: might have thought of that before you got into a
• 16:19
  Speaker 1: war like this and you bomb them twice under the
• 16:21
  Speaker 1: cover of diplomacy. By the way, meanwhile, in Iran, it's
• 16:24
  Speaker 1: not like many of their critical infrastructure isn't being hit
• 16:27
  Speaker 1: the here we go. Let's put these up here on
• 16:29
  Speaker 1: the screen. This is the steel plants which apparently have
• 16:31
  Speaker 1: just been absolutely obliterated. Allegedly these were by Israeli strikes,
• 16:35
  Speaker 1: although of course Israeli US strikes. Who cares. We're in
• 16:38
  Speaker 1: this war together. We're going to get the damage no
• 16:40
  Speaker 1: matter what. But you can see very clearly that multiple
• 16:43
  Speaker 1: critical infrastructure sites in Iran were struck. Meanwhile, let's put
• 16:47
  Speaker 1: a five up here on the screen. This is about
• 16:51
  Speaker 1: the escalation that's been happening on the ground despite much
• 16:54
  Speaker 1: of what's being talked about in Washington with the US
• 16:57
  Speaker 1: Israeli war escalates as the talks prove rootless, and as
• 17:00
  Speaker 1: they explicitly point out in the story, you have not
• 17:04
  Speaker 1: only all of this damage at the steel you also
• 17:08
  Speaker 1: had one of the largest aluminum producers in the Emirates
• 17:11
  Speaker 1: that was actually got hit for retaliation after strikes that
• 17:14
  Speaker 1: are happening in Iran. Iranian officials said that a university
• 17:17
  Speaker 1: in Tehran and another in Isfahan were struck over the weekend,
• 17:20
  Speaker 1: as well as a water reservoir in one of Iran's
• 17:23
  Speaker 1: distant provinces. The official was quoted in Iranian media saying, quote,
• 17:28
  Speaker 1: there is no shortage of water currently in the province.
• 17:31
  Speaker 1: You also had the strike on the print Sultan base,
• 17:35
  Speaker 1: the strike of the E three surveillance aircraft that's literally
• 17:38
  Speaker 1: a three hundred million dollar aircraft, you know, in terms
• 17:41
  Speaker 1: of the losses for us. So there has been a
• 17:43
  Speaker 1: lot of actually escalation that's happened under the cover of
• 17:47
  Speaker 1: these alleged future strikes that may come in the future.
• 17:50
  Speaker 1: We should not pretend that we should really not pretend
• 17:54
  Speaker 1: in any way that what's happened here has not actually
• 17:57
  Speaker 1: that what they've been threatening is not already happening at
• 17:59
  Speaker 1: a lot over level. Now, we haven't taken out oil
• 18:01
  Speaker 1: infrastructure yet, we haven't taken out the power generational that
• 18:05
  Speaker 1: we did hit one power generational plant earlier in the war,
• 18:07
  Speaker 1: or at least the Israelis did steel plants. So for them,
• 18:11
  Speaker 1: like they're like, look, you keep threatening this stuff, you're
• 18:13
  Speaker 1: actually kind of already doing it. And whether it's you
• 18:16
  Speaker 1: or Israel, we're taking the damage no matter what. So
• 18:18
  Speaker 1: we have to inflict the damage in the only way
• 18:20
  Speaker 1: that we know possible.
• 18:21
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and it increasingly seems too that as you know,
• 18:25
  Speaker 2: the initial I guess hopium that Okay, we'll just take
• 18:28
  Speaker 2: out the iotolin some military assets and the regime will fall.
• 18:31
  Speaker 2: And you know, the people arribe blah blah blah, whatever
• 18:34
  Speaker 2: delusion was sold to to Trump. When that fell apart,
• 18:38
  Speaker 2: you increasingly have civilian infrastructure which is being targeted again
• 18:41
  Speaker 2: and again by the Americans and the Israelis. There's thousands
• 18:45
  Speaker 2: of civilian sites that have been hit at this point.
• 18:48
  Speaker 2: Hospitals in particular have been targeted. What does that remind
• 18:51
  Speaker 2: you of? And this is the way, you know, this
• 18:53
  Speaker 2: is the way Israel operates. And now we are operating
• 18:56
  Speaker 2: together with Israel, and obviously we you know, back them
• 18:58
  Speaker 2: fully throughout the as a genocide. Once the initial military
• 19:03
  Speaker 2: objective failed and the attacks there failed to achieve the
• 19:06
  Speaker 2: strategic objective, then the idea becomes the daha doctor and
• 19:10
  Speaker 2: where it's like, okay, well, let's just make it brutal
• 19:13
  Speaker 2: as possible for civilians, you know, turn the power off
• 19:16
  Speaker 2: and attack their schools, and attack their homes and attack
• 19:19
  Speaker 2: the hospitals, et cetera, and hope maybe that causes them
• 19:22
  Speaker 2: to turn on the war and put pressure on the regime.
• 19:25
  Speaker 2: We seem to be very much in that phase of
• 19:27
  Speaker 2: the war. There was a recent report by BBC Verify.
• 19:31
  Speaker 2: New York Times then backed it up about one of
• 19:33
  Speaker 2: the early, however, strikes within Iran. We talked, of course
• 19:38
  Speaker 2: about the monob Girls' school where a Tomahawk missile decimated
• 19:42
  Speaker 2: that school, killed one hundred and sixty eight young girls
• 19:45
  Speaker 2: and you know, over a dozen teachers as well. There
• 19:48
  Speaker 2: was another missile that turns out to be like this
• 19:51
  Speaker 2: new high tech precision missile that hit a sports complex
• 19:56
  Speaker 2: and an adjacent elementary school also in the early day
• 20:00
  Speaker 2: of the war, that has also been to have was
• 20:03
  Speaker 2: confirmed by BBC verified to have come from US. Let's
• 20:06
  Speaker 2: go ahead and take a listen to a little bit
• 20:07
  Speaker 2: of their reporting.
• 20:08
  Speaker 5: There are at least two strikes on Lammad, a town
• 20:11
  Speaker 5: in the south of Iran. One was on a residential street,
• 20:13
  Speaker 5: which is where we can see the missile. Another strike
• 20:16
  Speaker 5: hit a community sports hall where state media report children
• 20:19
  Speaker 5: were playing volleyball. Its intended target may have been an
• 20:22
  Speaker 5: Irainian military base next door, but it appears undamaged in
• 20:25
  Speaker 5: Tessallae imagery. According to multiple Iranian state media outlets, four
• 20:29
  Speaker 5: children were among those killed that day, including twelve year
• 20:32
  Speaker 5: old Alhamzairi, an avid volleyball player. The youngest victim was
• 20:35
  Speaker 5: reportedly two years old. Footage we verified of the aftermath
• 20:39
  Speaker 5: of the sports hall strike shows the entire side of
• 20:41
  Speaker 5: the building blackened. Damage can also be seen on the roof,
• 20:44
  Speaker 5: with blast fragments in the surrounding area. According to experts,
• 20:47
  Speaker 5: the weapon most likely used on the residential street was
• 20:50
  Speaker 5: a US precision striking style. It's also known as a prism.
• 20:54
  Speaker 5: It can reach targets of up to five hundred kilometers away.
• 20:57
  Speaker 5: This war marks what's believed to be the first time
• 20:59
  Speaker 5: this weapon has been used by the US military. That's
• 21:01
  Speaker 5: according to the Department of Defense. We asked the US
• 21:04
  Speaker 5: why used a prison in a civilian area, but they
• 21:06
  Speaker 5: declined to comment. America's most senior officer praised his troop's
• 21:10
  Speaker 5: use of the system on the thirteenth of March.
• 21:12
  Speaker 2: In just the first thirteen days of this operation, our
• 21:15
  Speaker 2: artillery forces have made history.
• 21:18
  Speaker 6: They fired the first precision strike missiles ever used in combat.
• 21:22
  Speaker 2: So more children here killed by our missiles. This one, apparently,
• 21:25
  Speaker 2: this new fancy, high tech missile, in its debut, murdered
• 21:29
  Speaker 2: some children while they were playing sports at the same time, sager,
• 21:32
  Speaker 2: we're getting on lisbout A seven up on the screen.
• 21:34
  Speaker 2: We're getting more reporting about. There was all sorts of
• 21:38
  Speaker 2: happy talk about Iran's missile arsenal is being destroyed and
• 21:42
  Speaker 2: their launcher capacities being decimated.
• 21:45
  Speaker 3: Well, now we got this information.
• 21:47
  Speaker 2: US intelligence has determined just thirty three percent roughly of
• 21:50
  Speaker 2: Iran's missile arsenal has been destroyed in the as the
• 21:53
  Speaker 2: Iran War nears its one marth month mark. This is
• 21:57
  Speaker 2: per Reuter's details include the intelligence assessments. Iran still has
• 22:01
  Speaker 2: significant missile inventory. I think we're seeing that every day.
• 22:04
  Speaker 2: The status of around another third is less clear, but
• 22:08
  Speaker 2: ballmings likely damage destroyed or buried those missiles in underground
• 22:12
  Speaker 2: tunnels and bunkers. Sources say US intelligence was similar for
• 22:15
  Speaker 2: Iran's drone capability as well. Obviously that's highly significant, and
• 22:19
  Speaker 2: Iran is expected to recover some buried or damaged missiles
• 22:23
  Speaker 2: once fighting stops.
• 22:24
  Speaker 3: Tomorrow is the one month mark of the war.
• 22:27
  Speaker 2: So all that happy talk about, how you know, don't worry,
• 22:30
  Speaker 2: our interceptor stockpile is going to outlast them. We're destroying them.
• 22:33
  Speaker 2: Trump said that they've been obliterated. He won victory is ours.
• 22:37
  Speaker 2: Blah blah blah. They still have two thirds of their
• 22:40
  Speaker 2: missile arsenal, they're intact at least potent.
• 22:43
  Speaker 1: Yeah, they've only been able to confirm some thirty three percent.
• 22:45
  Speaker 1: And also look in terms of the strikes, the number
• 22:47
  Speaker 1: of the strikes from the Iranians is coming down. But
• 22:50
  Speaker 1: because they've worn out all of the interceptors, Israel and
• 22:53
  Speaker 1: the United States clearly are now having to ration. If
• 22:55
  Speaker 1: they don't ration, then they'll have to pull it from
• 22:57
  Speaker 1: every place on the globe and we'll be out of
• 22:59
  Speaker 1: them within at least six months. So you could see
• 23:02
  Speaker 1: this is a huge problem. Whenever you're losing three hundred
• 23:04
  Speaker 1: million dollar aircraft, you're using three hundred million dollar aircraft,
• 23:08
  Speaker 1: twelve US soldiers who are all wounded, two of them
• 23:11
  Speaker 1: seriously who are wounded. On top of that, you have
• 23:15
  Speaker 1: all of the strikes on the air bases. Israel has
• 23:18
  Speaker 1: been getting pounded day after day. The IDF is basically
• 23:21
  Speaker 1: all confirmed that they've had d ration a lot of
• 23:23
  Speaker 1: the missiles that or their interceptor missiles. As I told
• 23:26
  Speaker 1: everybody the last time, in the first sixteen days of
• 23:29
  Speaker 1: the war, if they fired on that same pace, they
• 23:32
  Speaker 1: would have run out two days ago for their best interceptors.
• 23:35
  Speaker 1: And then the US where in the first sixteen the
• 23:38
  Speaker 1: projection run date is I think April sixteenth, before we're
• 23:42
  Speaker 1: completely dry. So you have to ration. There's just no
• 23:44
  Speaker 1: other way around it, and it takes years to build
• 23:47
  Speaker 1: all these back. For example, let's go ahead and put
• 23:49
  Speaker 1: the A eight up here on the screen. The Tomahawk
• 23:51
  Speaker 1: missile probably the most beloved piece of military tech by
• 23:56
  Speaker 1: every president since, like Bill Clinton. It's great. You can
• 23:58
  Speaker 1: fire it from anywhere, you can hit a target thousands
• 24:01
  Speaker 1: of miles away. You don't actually put any troops on
• 24:03
  Speaker 1: the ground. You can send a message. Right. It makes
• 24:05
  Speaker 1: us feel big and tough and strong, and they're super
• 24:07
  Speaker 1: precision and they work well. Not to mention though that
• 24:10
  Speaker 1: actually this was used on the very first day of
• 24:12
  Speaker 1: the war and you know, hit the girls school. But
• 24:14
  Speaker 1: the US has now fired some eight hundred and fifty
• 24:18
  Speaker 1: Tomhawk missiles. This is from the Washington Post quote raising
• 24:21
  Speaker 1: concerns about the weapons limited supply. Now we were only
• 24:25
  Speaker 1: even technically I think, on the books to get fifty
• 24:29
  Speaker 1: seven as of last year in the defense budget. So
• 24:33
  Speaker 1: eight hundred and fifty in a month fifty seven in
• 24:36
  Speaker 1: the last year. What's the math on that one? I mean,
• 24:39
  Speaker 1: just what is that years of the backlog? Allegedly there's
• 24:42
  Speaker 1: some ability in the supply chain to actually crank these
• 24:45
  Speaker 1: out more, but there's only one facility I think it's
• 24:47
  Speaker 1: in Arizona that even makes all of the missiles, a
• 24:50
  Speaker 1: lot of them are you know, it's by hand. It's
• 24:52
  Speaker 1: extremely complex, extremely expensive to and what you can see
• 24:56
  Speaker 1: is that this leaves you in a very difficult posture
• 25:00
  Speaker 1: where now, if something else kicks off, what do you do?
• 25:03
  Speaker 1: Now we're really have to ration, Like we're already rationing
• 25:05
  Speaker 1: here in war. Everyone talks about China, Oh, China and China,
• 25:08
  Speaker 1: Oh they're you know, China's you know, if you play
• 25:10
  Speaker 1: some ninety chests about how they're taking all these hits.
• 25:13
  Speaker 1: What are you talking about? You got E three down.
• 25:15
  Speaker 1: China's like just like so they can't protect a need three.
• 25:18
  Speaker 1: They're still playing Russian tactics. You got all these Tomahawk missiles,
• 25:21
  Speaker 1: You have the interceptors that have been pulled out of
• 25:23
  Speaker 1: South Korea? Do you know what happens? We're gonna talk
• 25:25
  Speaker 1: about this later. The South Korean president is telling people
• 25:27
  Speaker 1: to take shorter showers. That's how bad things are in
• 25:30
  Speaker 1: a Can you imagine if an American president had to tell, hey, everybody,
• 25:33
  Speaker 1: you need to shower less the tie. I think the
• 25:35
  Speaker 1: tie president is like wearing short sleeves and he's like, listen,
• 25:38
  Speaker 1: we're all gonna have to do a like we're gonna
• 25:39
  Speaker 1: have live with the least air conditioning as we go
• 25:41
  Speaker 1: into the summer. That's the reality already in Asia. So
• 25:45
  Speaker 1: that could be coming. And that's what life looks like
• 25:47
  Speaker 1: whenever you're threatening the economies. I was looking yesterday the
• 25:51
  Speaker 1: Japanese open on their market, which the NIK two twenty
• 25:54
  Speaker 1: five was down by like five percent on the open.
• 25:56
  Speaker 1: They're gettet hammered over there. And so all of this
• 26:00
  Speaker 1: is dramatically weaking any potential US force posture for the
• 26:03
  Speaker 1: stuff that actually matters to us, like the chips. We're
• 26:06
  Speaker 1: going to talk later. Helium is down thirty forty percent already,
• 26:11
  Speaker 1: semiconductors orders being canceled. They're like, listen, we don't have
• 26:14
  Speaker 1: the capacity. You've got all of the gas and the
• 26:17
  Speaker 1: energy which powers all of our homes. LNG prices oil
• 26:21
  Speaker 1: natural gap like the spot price on those trading up
• 26:24
  Speaker 1: jet fuel two hundred dollars a barrel in Singapore as
• 26:27
  Speaker 1: of today. If you want to fly anywhere, and if
• 26:30
  Speaker 1: you don't want to risk flying through the Gulf and
• 26:32
  Speaker 1: getting hit by a stray Iranian missile this summer, good luck. Seriously,
• 26:36
  Speaker 1: I mean it's it's thousands of dollars of what all
• 26:39
  Speaker 1: of this is going to look like. So it's bad.
• 26:41
  Speaker 1: And then final thing here is the Hoothies, which is
• 26:44
  Speaker 1: what would really send this to the stratosphere, because what
• 26:48
  Speaker 1: we have right now is the situation where the streets
• 26:50
  Speaker 1: of more Moves are closed, but the Red Sea remains
• 26:53
  Speaker 1: relatively open. We've seen one strike there, but we have
• 26:56
  Speaker 1: not seen a potent, sustained campaign. Well, the Hoothies are
• 26:59
  Speaker 1: now declared that not only are they entering the war,
• 27:01
  Speaker 1: let's put a nine and take a listen here from
• 27:04
  Speaker 1: Al Jazeera about who they's official declaration that they are
• 27:07
  Speaker 1: in it with only initial strikes yet so far on
• 27:10
  Speaker 1: Israel potentially holding back some of the strikes that they
• 27:13
  Speaker 1: need to to fully close and choke off all of
• 27:15
  Speaker 1: the world's oil from the Middle East. Let's take a listen.
• 27:18
  Speaker 7: We've been reporting Yemmens Hothies have joined the conflict in
• 27:21
  Speaker 7: the Middle East. Well, the group says it launched a
• 27:24
  Speaker 7: second attack on Israel and that it will launch many
• 27:27
  Speaker 7: more strikes in the coming days.
• 27:31
  Speaker 8: Do in response to the enemy's crimes on our people
• 27:35
  Speaker 8: and our countries, and in support of the freedom of
• 27:37
  Speaker 8: the people. Will continue, with the grace of God, to
• 27:41
  Speaker 8: carry out military operations in the coming days until the
• 27:44
  Speaker 8: enemy stops its hostilities and aggressions.
• 27:47
  Speaker 1: So you can see that declaration they're saying and willing
• 27:50
  Speaker 1: to be able to get into the war. It will
• 27:52
  Speaker 1: completely choke off Saudi Arabia, and that would easily send
• 27:55
  Speaker 1: oil to two hundred dollars a barrel, that's eight dollars
• 27:58
  Speaker 1: a gallon.
• 27:59
  Speaker 2: And it also demonstras that Iran is not at the
• 28:02
  Speaker 2: top of like there's many more things that they could do.
• 28:04
  Speaker 2: And the analysis I saws that they've probably held back on,
• 28:07
  Speaker 2: you know, asking the Hoho Thies to get fully involved
• 28:10
  Speaker 2: or close off the Babelmandab straight there in the Red
• 28:14
  Speaker 2: Sea is because that could potentially fully bring Saudi Arabia
• 28:18
  Speaker 2: into the war. And I mean it's just a very
• 28:20
  Speaker 2: significant escalation. So there are still tools in their toolkit
• 28:26
  Speaker 2: that they could deploy and Apparently they have you know,
• 28:30
  Speaker 2: the missile and the drone capacity to continue to cause
• 28:33
  Speaker 2: a lot of damage and problems and really squeeze the
• 28:35
  Speaker 2: global economy until until we squale and last piece to
• 28:40
  Speaker 2: put up her on the screen, because this speaks to
• 28:42
  Speaker 2: that potential escalation chain and their continued capability. Here you
• 28:47
  Speaker 2: had an Iranian strike hit a service building at a
• 28:50
  Speaker 2: Kuwaiti power and water desalination facility, and this underscores you know.
• 28:56
  Speaker 3: Those golf are up states.
• 28:57
  Speaker 2: We've talked about this before, very vulnerable in terms of
• 29:00
  Speaker 2: the you know, the infrastructure that they rely on for
• 29:03
  Speaker 2: the very basics of life, for water and for food.
• 29:06
  Speaker 2: So you know this is these are the sort of
• 29:09
  Speaker 2: actions that they have the capability of taking and can
• 29:12
  Speaker 2: really cause a devastating blow for these golf air regimes
• 29:18
  Speaker 2: in particular.
• 29:18
  Speaker 1: This is what I mean. Yeah, this is what it
• 29:20
  Speaker 1: all looks like. Like everything the table is set. And clearly,
• 29:24
  Speaker 1: if we could destroy and eliminate all Iranian missiles, we
• 29:28
  Speaker 1: would have already done it, and they already claimed that
• 29:30
  Speaker 1: we did ninety five percent. If they can still take out,
• 29:32
  Speaker 1: if they're doubling the anion of missis they'll strike able
• 29:35
  Speaker 1: to fire in a single week as compared to last week.
• 29:38
  Speaker 1: If they have the capability still, I mean, look, it's
• 29:40
  Speaker 1: their country. You can at the end of the day,
• 29:42
  Speaker 1: how many times we're going to learn this about the
• 29:43
  Speaker 1: air campaign. And even with Gaza, Gaza was what it's
• 29:47
  Speaker 1: a tiny strip of land. And even with the full
• 29:50
  Speaker 1: IDF coming in occupying the North, they literally leveled what
• 29:53
  Speaker 1: every building in the north like to the ground. They
• 29:56
  Speaker 1: still had hamas and tunnels and guns, and that's, you know,
• 30:00
  Speaker 1: a tiny spit of land. Compare that to Iran's gigantic
• 30:04
  Speaker 1: country ballistic missiles control over the streets of Hormuz without
• 30:07
  Speaker 1: full blown occupation, you can basically never guarantee that something's
• 30:10
  Speaker 1: not going to be flying around and hitting targets. And
• 30:13
  Speaker 1: especially they've got the technology, they have the cost advantage
• 30:15
  Speaker 1: on their side. Don't forget what treat to Parsi said,
• 30:18
  Speaker 1: which has now been confirmed. Iran is earning more today
• 30:21
  Speaker 1: from oil than they ever have before, ever before. They
• 30:24
  Speaker 1: are more cash flush right now than ever, and the
• 30:28
  Speaker 1: Kremlin appears to be sending them more drones, more technology,
• 30:32
  Speaker 1: and it's very obvious that at least some of their
• 30:34
  Speaker 1: targeting information is either coming from China or Russia. With
• 30:37
  Speaker 1: advanced satellites and precision, you don't just take out an
• 30:39
  Speaker 1: E three just by yourself. Yeah, you think about the
• 30:42
  Speaker 1: level of empire that has to be behind you. So look,
• 30:46
  Speaker 1: the stage is set, and it's potentially set for a
• 30:49
  Speaker 1: ground troop invasion. So let's get to it. Turning down
• 30:54
  Speaker 1: to ground troops. How is this going to end? Well,
• 30:56
  Speaker 1: all signs point to a potential ground invasion absence some serious,
• 31:00
  Speaker 1: you know, last minute peace deal, which who knows if
• 31:02
  Speaker 1: we could even trust that. But let's go and put
• 31:04
  Speaker 1: this up here on the screen, breaking last night from
• 31:06
  Speaker 1: the Wall Street Journal, something that anybody's been watching the
• 31:09
  Speaker 1: show will be very well familiar with. Trump is weighing
• 31:12
  Speaker 1: military operations to extract Iran's uranium. So if we dig
• 31:16
  Speaker 1: down into it, it is unfortunately the craziest potential ground
• 31:20
  Speaker 1: operation plan. But what it would entail is that it
• 31:23
  Speaker 1: would require some US forces to go deep inside of
• 31:27
  Speaker 1: Iran and extract nearly one thousand pounds of uranium. That
• 31:32
  Speaker 1: would likely put the American forces inside the country for
• 31:35
  Speaker 1: days or longer. So let's think about it just logistically,
• 31:38
  Speaker 1: at a very basic level, you would have to deploy
• 31:41
  Speaker 1: to multiple of these sites and potentially unknown sites which
• 31:45
  Speaker 1: have been buried under rubble by US bombers earlier. You
• 31:49
  Speaker 1: have specially trained special operators who have actually trained for
• 31:53
  Speaker 1: years for some like radioactive material recovery, so they would
• 31:57
  Speaker 1: be the tip of the spear. That would be their
• 31:58
  Speaker 1: job to go in to should get it, to secure it. Now,
• 32:01
  Speaker 1: to secure them, you would actually need multiple ground forces
• 32:05
  Speaker 1: who are around them to set a perimeter to make
• 32:07
  Speaker 1: sure that ground operators would not have Iranian forces not
• 32:10
  Speaker 1: be able to come swarm and to capture them or
• 32:12
  Speaker 1: kill them. Then he would also need all this air
• 32:15
  Speaker 1: power and potential interceptors and all this other stuff that's
• 32:17
  Speaker 1: happening to make sure that drones and other things that
• 32:20
  Speaker 1: are flying suicide drone missile is not being flown and
• 32:22
  Speaker 1: shot at the country. Not to mention whoever even lives
• 32:25
  Speaker 1: in the area itself, it would be a absolute nightmare. Now,
• 32:29
  Speaker 1: why would Trump even consider this? And again, if you've
• 32:31
  Speaker 1: been watching, you need to really understand the strategic logic
• 32:34
  Speaker 1: from his brain. He needs desperately an off ramp. If
• 32:38
  Speaker 1: he paid attention, did you notice that in that first
• 32:40
  Speaker 1: truth about the horm moves straight he actually made it
• 32:43
  Speaker 1: open to the idea of maybe we could just have
• 32:46
  Speaker 1: a deal and have it not deal with the straits
• 32:48
  Speaker 1: of horm moves. His secretary, Rubio is apparently on Good
• 32:51
  Speaker 1: Morning America right now as you and I are speaking,
• 32:53
  Speaker 1: and he was like, well, other countries get more out
• 32:55
  Speaker 1: of it. So they're trying to set the table for
• 32:57
  Speaker 1: a potential declare victory and then leave. Now, obviously oil
• 33:00
  Speaker 1: is a global commodity, so it doesn't really matter. We
• 33:03
  Speaker 1: could potentially see an export band, but I don't think
• 33:05
  Speaker 1: it's realistic. It would eventually still make prices go sky high.
• 33:10
  Speaker 1: What we are seeing is in their mind they need
• 33:13
  Speaker 1: an off ramp. They need to be able to declare victory.
• 33:16
  Speaker 1: The only real way to declare victory is to take
• 33:18
  Speaker 1: away the uranium. And allegedly this is all about nuclear weapons,
• 33:21
  Speaker 1: even though it's all fake, it's nonsense. So this is
• 33:24
  Speaker 1: the mission in his mind, even though it's the most risky,
• 33:27
  Speaker 1: the one that would actually deliver his mission accomplished moment
• 33:30
  Speaker 1: and actually try and extrication from the conflict. Now, it
• 33:33
  Speaker 1: won't get us out at the end of the day.
• 33:34
  Speaker 1: We had all these bases, we've got all the golf.
• 33:37
  Speaker 1: It's not like Iran is just going to sit there
• 33:38
  Speaker 1: and they're going to take it. This is their only
• 33:40
  Speaker 1: latent nuclear deterrent that they've had, which is why they
• 33:43
  Speaker 1: won't give it up. I don't blame them. I wouldn't either, write.
• 33:45
  Speaker 1: So I used to look what Goadafi look at North Korea?
• 33:48
  Speaker 1: Which one would you rather be? So you could see
• 33:50
  Speaker 1: very clearly that they know they're coming. There's no element
• 33:53
  Speaker 1: of surprise really about what this potential could look like.
• 33:56
  Speaker 1: And this is the highest, most risky one, which would
• 34:00
  Speaker 1: easily require multiple days on the ground, and that's if
• 34:03
  Speaker 1: everything goes well, and it never goes well.
• 34:04
  Speaker 2: One of the things that I want to talk to
• 34:07
  Speaker 2: Colonel Wilkerson about is he's been sounding the alarm that
• 34:10
  Speaker 2: the decision in Iran could have already been made to
• 34:12
  Speaker 2: race to a bomb, and that he believes as possible
• 34:15
  Speaker 2: for them to achieve that in a way that would
• 34:17
  Speaker 2: be undetectable, and then imagine the way that that changes
• 34:20
  Speaker 2: the game. I mean, it's hard for me to wrap
• 34:22
  Speaker 2: my head around, but just to underscore the insanity of
• 34:27
  Speaker 2: what this mission that's being contemplated here would look like,
• 34:31
  Speaker 2: let me read to you from this Wall Street Journal
• 34:32
  Speaker 2: piece about exactly what this mission would entail. It says
• 34:36
  Speaker 2: any move to seize the Uranian by force would be
• 34:39
  Speaker 2: complex and dangerous. This is according to former US military
• 34:42
  Speaker 2: officers and experts. The potential operation, which would likely trigger
• 34:46
  Speaker 2: retaliation from Iran, could also lengthen the war well beyond
• 34:50
  Speaker 2: the four to six week time frame Trump's team has
• 34:52
  Speaker 2: publicly outlined. So here's what would happen. Teams of US
• 34:55
  Speaker 2: forces would need to fly to the sites likely under
• 34:58
  Speaker 2: fire from Iranian service to air missiles and drones. Once
• 35:01
  Speaker 2: on site, combat troops would need to secure perimeters so
• 35:04
  Speaker 2: that engineers with excavating equipment could search through debris and
• 35:09
  Speaker 2: check for mines and movie traps.
• 35:11
  Speaker 3: The extraction of.
• 35:11
  Speaker 2: The material would likely need to be conducted by an
• 35:13
  Speaker 2: elite special operations team that was what Soccer was speaking to,
• 35:17
  Speaker 2: especially trained to remove radioactive material from a conflict zone.
• 35:20
  Speaker 2: The highly enrituranium is likely contained in forty to fifty
• 35:24
  Speaker 2: special cylinders that resemble scuba tanks. They would need to
• 35:28
  Speaker 2: be put into transportation casks to protect against accidents. That's
• 35:32
  Speaker 2: the other aspect of all of this is potential nuclear
• 35:35
  Speaker 2: fallout that could fill several trucks, said an expert on
• 35:38
  Speaker 2: this Unless an airfield was available, a makeshift airfield would
• 35:43
  Speaker 2: need to be set up to bring equipment in and
• 35:45
  Speaker 2: take the nuclear material out. The entire operation would take
• 35:49
  Speaker 2: days or even a week to complete. This is not
• 35:52
  Speaker 2: like going in and snatching the duro and getting out.
• 35:54
  Speaker 2: This would take You have to set up a makeshift airfield,
• 35:57
  Speaker 2: secure a perimeter, go in under fire, send your team
• 36:01
  Speaker 2: in with excavators, find this material loaded on trucks, get
• 36:04
  Speaker 2: it onto these aircraft, and get it out, you know,
• 36:07
  Speaker 2: again under fire. It says US troops could avoid such
• 36:11
  Speaker 2: a dangerous operation if Aron agreed to hand over its
• 36:14
  Speaker 2: uranium as part of a peace settlement. But you know,
• 36:17
  Speaker 2: doesn't look like we're headed in that direction whatsoever, Like
• 36:19
  Speaker 2: the type of peace settlement that was on the table
• 36:23
  Speaker 2: before we decided to launch this absolutely insane and disastrous war.
• 36:26
  Speaker 1: Yeah, can we put the next element, guys the New
• 36:29
  Speaker 1: York Times hearsheet I asked for this morning, just to
• 36:31
  Speaker 1: underscore how you already have many of these pieces that
• 36:35
  Speaker 1: are currently in place. US Special Operations forces have been
• 36:38
  Speaker 1: sent to the Middle East in the hundreds just in
• 36:41
  Speaker 1: the last week or so that have now arrived, quote,
• 36:44
  Speaker 1: several hundred US Special Operator's Force have arrived, joining thousands
• 36:47
  Speaker 1: of Marines, Army paratroopers in a deployment meant to give
• 36:52
  Speaker 1: President Trump additional options. The commandos, including Army rangers and
• 36:56
  Speaker 1: Navy seals, have not yet been assigned specific missions, but
• 37:00
  Speaker 1: as specialized ground troops, they could deploy to help safeguard
• 37:02
  Speaker 1: the Straight or they could be deployed to try and
• 37:05
  Speaker 1: seize carg Island, or of course used in a mission
• 37:08
  Speaker 1: aimed at Iran's highly enriched uranium at the Isfahan nuclear site.
• 37:12
  Speaker 1: So these commandos join twenty five hundred Marines, another twenty
• 37:17
  Speaker 1: five hundred sailors who just arrived in the region as
• 37:19
  Speaker 1: of a couple of days ago. All together, there are
• 37:22
  Speaker 1: now fifty thousand American troops in the Middle East, roughly
• 37:26
  Speaker 1: ten thousand more than normal. You have all of these
• 37:29
  Speaker 1: elite special operators on top of remember the eighty second
• 37:33
  Speaker 1: Airborne which was on its way. This just I mean,
• 37:36
  Speaker 1: you have to follow the forces of everything that following
• 37:40
  Speaker 1: the actual military assets in Venezuela ultimately was the only
• 37:45
  Speaker 1: thing that proved like the direction of where things are going.
• 37:48
  Speaker 1: For all the talk of diplomacy and all that, it
• 37:50
  Speaker 1: didn't matter. In June of twenty twenty five, the people
• 37:54
  Speaker 1: who were looking at you know, all of the assets
• 37:57
  Speaker 1: that were being put into place, even while Trump was
• 37:59
  Speaker 1: a negotiating guess what they were proven correct. And then
• 38:03
  Speaker 1: finally one month ago, almost exactly from when this launch,
• 38:06
  Speaker 1: when this war launch, what did we see is that
• 38:09
  Speaker 1: at the end of the day, all the talks at
• 38:11
  Speaker 1: the you know, the carriers on the way, the missile,
• 38:14
  Speaker 1: everything else with the basis, that's really what proved to
• 38:17
  Speaker 1: actually tell it. Now, we don't know where they're going
• 38:19
  Speaker 1: to hit. They could hit something else. But you also
• 38:21
  Speaker 1: have a little bit of a view into Donald Trump's logic.
• 38:23
  Speaker 1: Let's put be one up here on the screen.
• 38:25
  Speaker 8: This is what he.
• 38:26
  Speaker 1: Tweeted last night. Watch Mark Levin interview of the brilliant
• 38:29
  Speaker 1: Mark Teeson tonight at eight pm on Fox News. So
• 38:33
  Speaker 1: what did Mark Levin actually say on Fox News. Let's
• 38:36
  Speaker 1: take a listen.
• 38:37
  Speaker 9: Troops on the ground. He said, no troops on the ground.
• 38:42
  Speaker 9: I don't remember that in any campaign speech either. But
• 38:45
  Speaker 9: why would we need troops on the ground. Well, there's
• 38:48
  Speaker 9: a lot of reasons, and we wouldn't need three hundred
• 38:51
  Speaker 9: thousand of them. It's this uranium too. We've got to
• 38:56
  Speaker 9: get the uranium. If he cannot destroyed, if it cannot
• 39:02
  Speaker 9: be altered, we got.
• 39:04
  Speaker 1: To get it.
• 39:05
  Speaker 9: For the reason I just said, you can make dirty bombs.
• 39:10
  Speaker 9: You know, over time, you can still make sophisticated missiles.
• 39:14
  Speaker 9: So you need to get to the uranium. That's why
• 39:19
  Speaker 9: I'm reading in the paper. We're talking about the eighty
• 39:21
  Speaker 9: second Airborne. We're talking about these very special forces and
• 39:24
  Speaker 9: the various military services and so forth. He's not talking
• 39:27
  Speaker 9: about sending regular army and infantry in by the hundreds
• 39:32
  Speaker 9: of thousands. The men he's talking about. The units he's
• 39:37
  Speaker 9: talking about, they are specialized. And you know what else,
• 39:40
  Speaker 9: I remember from my days in the regular administration, many
• 39:43
  Speaker 9: of them are trained for a moment like this, to
• 39:47
  Speaker 9: try and secure enriched uranium. Many have been trained for
• 39:53
  Speaker 9: moments like this.
• 39:56
  Speaker 3: Great, there you go.
• 39:58
  Speaker 1: I prompt us watch it. This is what Yeah.
• 40:00
  Speaker 2: And I think I don't think Trump actually knows what
• 40:04
  Speaker 2: he's going to do, but there is I think you're
• 40:07
  Speaker 2: correct that a lot of logic, of Trumpian logic, logic
• 40:12
  Speaker 2: pushes in the direction of this frankly insane mission. To
• 40:16
  Speaker 2: try to seize the nuclear material because he's bored with
• 40:19
  Speaker 2: this war. He doesn't want to do it anymore. He
• 40:21
  Speaker 2: wants to focus on the midterms or his ballroom or whatever.
• 40:25
  Speaker 3: He's sort of sick of the whole thing.
• 40:26
  Speaker 2: Well, what is going to allow you to sort of,
• 40:29
  Speaker 2: you know, do the mission accomplished? Okay, we achieved our
• 40:31
  Speaker 2: objector we're out of here, carg Island, any of these
• 40:34
  Speaker 2: other islands they're talking about. That doesn't that actually entrenches
• 40:37
  Speaker 2: you there for a long time, which Trump himself has admitted,
• 40:40
  Speaker 2: I mean indefinitely, I don't know. And obviously also that
• 40:43
  Speaker 2: is sort of its own suicide mission for different reasons.
• 40:46
  Speaker 2: But you know, he's he's a big gambler. He's not
• 40:49
  Speaker 2: afraid of taking insane risks. He's done it throughout his career,
• 40:52
  Speaker 2: including his business career. He has a sense that he
• 40:54
  Speaker 2: always lands on his feet, and in many ways he's
• 40:56
  Speaker 2: been right about that. This may be the you know,
• 40:59
  Speaker 2: the time when reality catches up. I also just have
• 41:02
  Speaker 2: to note, like for the guy who ran from the
• 41:05
  Speaker 2: beginning against the neocons blah blah blah to now be
• 41:08
  Speaker 2: shouting out a Fox News segment with Mark Levin and
• 41:11
  Speaker 2: Mark Teeson. Do you guys know who Mark Tison is.
• 41:14
  Speaker 1: I do.
• 41:14
  Speaker 2: He's a speech writer for Donald Rumsfeld and then for
• 41:18
  Speaker 2: George W. Bush, and he wrote a whole book about
• 41:21
  Speaker 2: defending torture and waterboarding during the War on Terror era.
• 41:26
  Speaker 2: So these are the people that he now, you know, uplifts,
• 41:29
  Speaker 2: The very neo cons that he claimed to be so
• 41:31
  Speaker 2: opposed to are the leading lights at this point.
• 41:34
  Speaker 1: Yeah, well, you know, it's hate. You hate to see
• 41:38
  Speaker 1: the people who you read about ran against thought, were dead,
• 41:43
  Speaker 1: not only resurrected, but now be the people who are
• 41:46
  Speaker 1: directly pumping you know, at this point though, that's tright,
• 41:50
  Speaker 1: this is Trump. I'm almost done with this whole. It's
• 41:52
  Speaker 1: Mark Levin's war Like yeah, well that's true, but at
• 41:55
  Speaker 1: a certain point like this is Trump. It's Trump, and
• 41:56
  Speaker 1: that's it. At the end of the day, he's the
• 41:58
  Speaker 1: guy who wants people to listen to Mark Levin, that's
• 42:00
  Speaker 1: the guy who's chosen to be in bed with so
• 42:02
  Speaker 1: be it people like me being all of us, you
• 42:04
  Speaker 1: to reckon with it. How did this happen? It's very interesting.
• 42:06
  Speaker 2: Well, it also shows you why this time around, all
• 42:09
  Speaker 2: the people that got us into this disaster shit.
• 42:11
  Speaker 3: They need to be out of media.
• 42:13
  Speaker 2: They need to be shamed, They need to if you know,
• 42:15
  Speaker 2: if they were criminal acts, they need to be dealt
• 42:17
  Speaker 2: with because you allow these people to linger around. Next thing,
• 42:19
  Speaker 2: you know, it's you know, twenty thirty, and we're getting
• 42:21
  Speaker 2: the same bullshit about how we got to go to
• 42:23
  Speaker 2: war with Turkey or whatever.
• 42:24
  Speaker 1: You know that's coming. Yeah, we'll eventually get to that.
• 42:26
  Speaker 1: You'll see gasping Boomers on life support, like, I know
• 42:30
  Speaker 1: you were wrong about Iran, but we've got to go
• 42:32
  Speaker 1: to war against her.
• 42:33
  Speaker 2: There.
• 42:34
  Speaker 3: This cannot at this time. It'll be different.
• 42:36
  Speaker 2: Democracy will flourish, human rights, think of the girls.
• 42:40
  Speaker 3: We need a gay Pride parade.
• 42:43
  Speaker 1: Cannot allow Turkey to have a nuclear weapon. Sager, you
• 42:47
  Speaker 1: just don't get it this time. And by the way,
• 42:49
  Speaker 1: as we said, put B four up there on the screen.
• 42:52
  Speaker 1: The US sailor this is from Sentcom. They're openly just
• 42:54
  Speaker 1: tweeting this stuff out. Sailors and Marines aboard USS Tripoli
• 42:58
  Speaker 1: have arrived in the US Central Command of Responsibility. So
• 43:01
  Speaker 1: you've got all of the pictures of all of these
• 43:04
  Speaker 1: US service members that are now there. Don't forget I
• 43:06
  Speaker 1: talked earlier about China. China is genuinely weeping as this
• 43:09
  Speaker 1: amphibious group was taken from the Asia Pacific and sent
• 43:13
  Speaker 1: directly over here for potential operations. Put B five up
• 43:17
  Speaker 1: there as well. This actually goes into some of the
• 43:20
  Speaker 1: operational details of what the influx of a potential seventeen
• 43:24
  Speaker 1: thousand additional troops could look like, because that's currently being
• 43:28
  Speaker 1: being floated over at the Pentagon, far short of what
• 43:31
  Speaker 1: would be needed for a full scale invasion, but could
• 43:34
  Speaker 1: see strategic territory on the mainland, secure their stockpile, or
• 43:38
  Speaker 1: take an island. So to set the tone for everyone,
• 43:41
  Speaker 1: the way that this is going to go about is
• 43:43
  Speaker 1: like the Vietnam model. What's going to happen is they're
• 43:46
  Speaker 1: going to say that this is an initial and a
• 43:48
  Speaker 1: special operation. That's it. It's just we're taking the island,
• 43:51
  Speaker 1: we're taking the uranium. We're going to stay there as
• 43:53
  Speaker 1: long as we need to, and then once we get
• 43:55
  Speaker 1: the uranium, we're going to come out. Well where have
• 43:57
  Speaker 1: we heard all of that before? Well all in life.
• 44:00
  Speaker 1: It actually happened during the Vietnam War where in the
• 44:03
  Speaker 1: very first operation that General Westmoreland was in charge of
• 44:08
  Speaker 1: he said, there is no situation where Marines will be
• 44:11
  Speaker 1: directly engaging with the Vietnamese. He literally said that. He said,
• 44:14
  Speaker 1: we're not here to engage. It was just thirty five hundred,
• 44:17
  Speaker 1: that's it.
• 44:17
  Speaker 3: We're supposed to take an airport.
• 44:19
  Speaker 1: Was not the idea exactly right. See do you see
• 44:21
  Speaker 1: how everything comes back around the same exact strategic logic.
• 44:25
  Speaker 1: There is no situation where we US Marines will be
• 44:29
  Speaker 1: directly engaging with the Vietnamese. That's what he said, And
• 44:32
  Speaker 1: of course that's what you plan for. And even yesterday
• 44:36
  Speaker 1: our last show, I remember, they're like Trump wants speedy
• 44:38
  Speaker 1: end to the conflict. Every wartime leader wants to speedy
• 44:41
  Speaker 1: end of the conflict. That doesn't mean you get it.
• 44:43
  Speaker 1: And that's why you don't get into the damn mess,
• 44:45
  Speaker 1: you know, in the first place. And I just I
• 44:48
  Speaker 1: cannot see a situation where we at the very least,
• 44:52
  Speaker 1: and I'm not saying we can't do it, we could
• 44:54
  Speaker 1: just declare victory and leave. Even then, straights and wore
• 44:57
  Speaker 1: moves are closed. What are you gonna do? You're gon
• 45:00
  Speaker 1: your clothes, golf arabs are all getting attacked, the oil refineries,
• 45:04
  Speaker 1: what the Israelis are just going to stop. I mean,
• 45:05
  Speaker 1: that's layering on top of all of this. They're going
• 45:08
  Speaker 1: through it right now. We're going to talk about that
• 45:10
  Speaker 1: a little bit later. But IDF is collapsing, you guys
• 45:12
  Speaker 1: cover that. On Friday, they've literally invaded all of Lebanon,
• 45:15
  Speaker 1: like or half of the entire country. They just expanded
• 45:18
  Speaker 1: the buffer zone. A million people are being displaced. IDF
• 45:22
  Speaker 1: nineteen year olds are getting killed left and right in Lebanon.
• 45:25
  Speaker 1: I mean after their parents died and fought in Lebanon.
• 45:27
  Speaker 1: Don't forget this is a political crisis in Israel, not
• 45:31
  Speaker 1: to mention like, look, they're stretched to the brink. They're
• 45:34
  Speaker 1: fighting in Iran. They're taking ballistic for the small country.
• 45:37
  Speaker 1: Buyer's a small counctious to size of New Jersey. Imagine
• 45:39
  Speaker 1: that people there, like I haven't slept in a month,
• 45:42
  Speaker 1: you know, because we're all under attack.
• 45:44
  Speaker 2: But yeah, well, I do want to make a point
• 45:48
  Speaker 2: that I had somebody that made online which I thought
• 45:50
  Speaker 2: was excellent important by proportion, Israel has invaded and is
• 45:55
  Speaker 2: attempting to annex a larger portion of Lebanon than Russia
• 45:59
  Speaker 2: invaded in Ukraine. And I want you to think for
• 46:03
  Speaker 2: a moment about the very different way those things were
• 46:06
  Speaker 2: presented in the media. The Western media goes out of
• 46:09
  Speaker 2: its way to describe Israel's invasion of Lebanon as anything
• 46:15
  Speaker 2: other than an invasion, and you know, it's guess what, guys,
• 46:19
  Speaker 2: it's an invasion. It's wrong when Russia does it, it's also
• 46:22
  Speaker 2: wrong when Israel does it. But in any case, your
• 46:25
  Speaker 2: point about how, look, the public is on board with
• 46:27
  Speaker 2: the Iran war.
• 46:28
  Speaker 3: Don't get us wrong here.
• 46:30
  Speaker 2: I mean, even with all the polling suggests, even with
• 46:32
  Speaker 2: having to go in the bomb shelters and losing sleep
• 46:34
  Speaker 2: and you know, IDs soldiers getting killed and all of that,
• 46:37
  Speaker 2: they're in for it, Okay, in a much different way
• 46:39
  Speaker 2: than the US population is. But that doesn't mean there's
• 46:42
  Speaker 2: not tremendous pressure in terms of the demands on the IDF.
• 46:46
  Speaker 2: In fact, there's Israeli news outlets that are reporting if
• 46:50
  Speaker 2: the US puts troops on the ground, Israelis are not
• 46:53
  Speaker 2: going to like, They're like.
• 46:54
  Speaker 1: Why would we ever expect that?
• 46:57
  Speaker 8: Yeah?
• 46:58
  Speaker 2: Why would they ask for that lives in the war
• 47:01
  Speaker 2: that they have been for forty years?
• 47:02
  Speaker 1: Of course?
• 47:03
  Speaker 2: Yeah, But in any case, I also wanted to play
• 47:06
  Speaker 2: this last one because you know it speaks to the
• 47:09
  Speaker 2: political landscape that you know that Trump is operating in
• 47:13
  Speaker 2: which for all to talk about, you know, the how
• 47:16
  Speaker 2: MAGA would split if he went to war in Iran,
• 47:19
  Speaker 2: blah blah blah. Yes, there are more independent aligned influencers
• 47:23
  Speaker 2: predominantly who are opposed to the Iran war. As we've
• 47:26
  Speaker 2: discussed here before, the Magabase is all in, and Steve Bannon,
• 47:30
  Speaker 2: I think emblematic of that is saying, look, if we're
• 47:32
  Speaker 2: in here now, we need to go for total war.
• 47:35
  Speaker 2: He's all in on the war effort. So let's take
• 47:38
  Speaker 2: a listen to that.
• 47:39
  Speaker 6: If we're going to go to war, let's go to
• 47:41
  Speaker 6: total war. And what I mean by total war, let's
• 47:44
  Speaker 6: shut down everybody trading with them, Let's shut down. Let's
• 47:47
  Speaker 6: go to UAE and said, hey, you got like two
• 47:49
  Speaker 6: hours to go to Dubai and shut it all down.
• 47:51
  Speaker 6: The Pirate, COVID, Dubai got to stop. We got to
• 47:54
  Speaker 6: stop the Arabs. Everybody's playing games. The Israelis are playing
• 47:58
  Speaker 6: games with us. The Arabs are playing games with the
• 48:00
  Speaker 6: Europeans are playing games with us. And what are we doing.
• 48:03
  Speaker 6: We're sending troops over there we got, which is fine.
• 48:06
  Speaker 6: President Trump needs options in alternatives.
• 48:08
  Speaker 3: So Bannon Colin for total war.
• 48:11
  Speaker 1: And this is the logic. This is what always happens. Yeah,
• 48:14
  Speaker 1: people are bought in. They're like, well, we're in. Like
• 48:17
  Speaker 1: you just said, you've got Matt Walsh. Look, yeah, I
• 48:20
  Speaker 1: got my problems from So he's like, hey, none of
• 48:22
  Speaker 1: the predictions worked out, And what do I see? People
• 48:24
  Speaker 1: are like, our troops have died, we have to support them.
• 48:27
  Speaker 1: We have no troube. Oh never heard that. Literally my
• 48:30
  Speaker 1: lifetime in Iraq, same playbook in Vietnam. This is how
• 48:34
  Speaker 1: it all starts. I'm not saying that we're gonna end
• 48:36
  Speaker 1: up with fifty thousand dead and fourteen years of war.
• 48:38
  Speaker 1: I really hope not. But it's not completely out of
• 48:40
  Speaker 1: the question because you could easily see we do the
• 48:43
  Speaker 1: uranium mission, some shit goes real bad. Now what I
• 48:46
  Speaker 1: mean what Trump is just going to sit there and
• 48:48
  Speaker 1: take it. Let's say that you have a disastrous strike
• 48:50
  Speaker 1: and you have dozens of US troops for all again,
• 48:52
  Speaker 1: there's nothing I want less than any of that. Now
• 48:55
  Speaker 1: let now what what the people are Professor paplay this
• 48:58
  Speaker 1: out on our last show. Now you're going to have
• 49:00
  Speaker 1: the entire book. Now we have to avenge them. Then
• 49:03
  Speaker 1: we e then something else goes wrong, and it just
• 49:05
  Speaker 1: spirals and spirals, and you keep going up. And by
• 49:07
  Speaker 1: the way, the whole time oil continues to go up
• 49:09
  Speaker 1: to one hundred and forty one hundred and fifty a gallon,
• 49:12
  Speaker 1: what's going to happen to our society. We're going to
• 49:15
  Speaker 1: see We're going to see shortages, except this time nobody's
• 49:18
  Speaker 1: gonna be in lockdown. It's not like they're going to
• 49:20
  Speaker 1: be demand destruction. It's going to be a supply side
• 49:22
  Speaker 1: shock that hasn't been seen since. Like the oil crisis,
• 49:25
  Speaker 1: it will have massive social disruption and that's just here
• 49:29
  Speaker 1: at home. So it's very much like the last Iran crisis,
• 49:32
  Speaker 1: the oil shock combined with potential US ground troops all together,
• 49:37
  Speaker 1: it's like it's genuine poly crisis, which I think sets
• 49:40
  Speaker 1: us up well for our move to the economy. So
• 49:42
  Speaker 1: let's get to it. We've got our friends, Soora Amar
• 49:44
  Speaker 1: standing by, Let's take a listen.
