It's the Alex Marlowe Show. 9 00:00:38,520 --> 00:00:39,760 Speaker 3: It is the Alex Marlowe Show. 10 00:00:39,920 --> 00:00:43,520 Speaker 1: We're broadcasting to you on a historic Monday morning, after 11 00:00:44,280 --> 00:00:47,000 Speaker 1: what has thus far been a brief and pretty effective 12 00:00:47,040 --> 00:00:50,320 Speaker 1: war on the Iranian regime. I was very tempted to 13 00:00:50,320 --> 00:00:53,240 Speaker 1: play back my closing on Friday show, where I basically said, 14 00:00:53,280 --> 00:00:54,840 Speaker 1: I think there's a good chance for going to war, 15 00:00:55,280 --> 00:00:57,120 Speaker 1: here's why, and I think we did go to war 16 00:00:57,280 --> 00:01:00,320 Speaker 1: for those exact reasons. Can it be quick, can it 17 00:01:00,320 --> 00:01:02,880 Speaker 1: be surgical? And can we end up having all of 18 00:01:02,920 --> 00:01:06,160 Speaker 1: those great benefits that deposing the eyetolas could have. 19 00:01:06,280 --> 00:01:06,960 Speaker 3: That's the question. 20 00:01:07,040 --> 00:01:08,480 Speaker 1: And I'm going to give you all the details of 21 00:01:08,520 --> 00:01:10,880 Speaker 1: what I know about what's going on. I'll try to 22 00:01:10,880 --> 00:01:12,560 Speaker 1: give you some insight into what I believe the White 23 00:01:12,560 --> 00:01:15,120 Speaker 1: House is thinking. Is Some of this is me dot connecting, 24 00:01:15,160 --> 00:01:17,120 Speaker 1: some of it is what I've been told from people 25 00:01:17,160 --> 00:01:19,759 Speaker 1: on the inside and where I think things could be headed. 26 00:01:20,000 --> 00:01:22,679 Speaker 1: And then I want to talk about the political implications 27 00:01:22,680 --> 00:01:24,920 Speaker 1: of all this, because this one is very much a 28 00:01:24,959 --> 00:01:27,640 Speaker 1: mixed bag. Politically, I think there's a lot of I 29 00:01:27,680 --> 00:01:31,559 Speaker 1: would say risk politically with this move by President Trump. 30 00:01:31,800 --> 00:01:33,840 Speaker 1: But overall, I want to start with the positive thing, 31 00:01:34,040 --> 00:01:36,920 Speaker 1: which is there. For forty seven years, the Ietolas, ever 32 00:01:36,959 --> 00:01:39,640 Speaker 1: since they came to power after the Iranian Revolution, have 33 00:01:39,880 --> 00:01:42,640 Speaker 1: singled out America, and not just America, really a lot 34 00:01:42,680 --> 00:01:45,960 Speaker 1: of Western freedom in general, and have tried their best 35 00:01:46,000 --> 00:01:48,960 Speaker 1: to dismantle it. Whenever there's been terror all over the world, 36 00:01:49,080 --> 00:01:52,000 Speaker 1: they have funded it. They've been behind so many, if 37 00:01:52,040 --> 00:01:54,200 Speaker 1: not all, of the major attacks to one degree or 38 00:01:54,240 --> 00:01:57,480 Speaker 1: another on the West over the last half century. And 39 00:01:57,680 --> 00:02:00,000 Speaker 1: now there's going to be something different that is in place. 40 00:02:00,520 --> 00:02:02,600 Speaker 1: How much better will it be? That, of course, is 41 00:02:02,640 --> 00:02:05,960 Speaker 1: an open question. But Donald Trump laid out three specific 42 00:02:06,040 --> 00:02:09,280 Speaker 1: things that Iran needed to do last year in a letter. 43 00:02:09,480 --> 00:02:13,360 Speaker 1: This is crystal clear. He said no nuclear program, he 44 00:02:13,440 --> 00:02:18,000 Speaker 1: said no ballistic missile development, and stop supporting terror proxies 45 00:02:18,080 --> 00:02:20,800 Speaker 1: around the world. What have we seen since then, continued 46 00:02:20,800 --> 00:02:24,840 Speaker 1: support of terror proxies. We've seen Iran's nuclear program continue 47 00:02:24,880 --> 00:02:29,799 Speaker 1: even despite the successful Midnight Hammer attacks. Iran was as 48 00:02:29,840 --> 00:02:32,120 Speaker 1: recently as last week was saying flat out, we are 49 00:02:32,240 --> 00:02:34,400 Speaker 1: enriching to sixty percent and there's nothing you could do 50 00:02:34,440 --> 00:02:34,880 Speaker 1: about it. 51 00:02:35,240 --> 00:02:37,519 Speaker 3: Now. I know fair bit about President Trump. 52 00:02:37,680 --> 00:02:39,760 Speaker 1: I know him fairly well, not as well as some, 53 00:02:40,040 --> 00:02:42,919 Speaker 1: But one thing I know for sure is that if 54 00:02:43,160 --> 00:02:46,200 Speaker 1: he requests something and you just give him a flat 55 00:02:46,240 --> 00:02:49,240 Speaker 1: out no, that is a big risk you're running. Because 56 00:02:49,240 --> 00:02:51,280 Speaker 1: he doesn't like that. He doesn't like to look like 57 00:02:51,320 --> 00:02:53,520 Speaker 1: a fool, he doesn't look like want to look like 58 00:02:53,520 --> 00:02:56,840 Speaker 1: a cuckhold. And so if he flat out says don't 59 00:02:56,880 --> 00:02:59,120 Speaker 1: do this or else, I'm coming for you, and you 60 00:02:59,360 --> 00:03:01,800 Speaker 1: dare him and you say, oh, we're going to do 61 00:03:01,840 --> 00:03:04,480 Speaker 1: it anyway, he is going to come for you. I 62 00:03:04,560 --> 00:03:06,760 Speaker 1: don't think it's a coincidence that we went after Maduro 63 00:03:07,000 --> 00:03:09,640 Speaker 1: right after he was pictured dancing over and over again 64 00:03:09,639 --> 00:03:12,240 Speaker 1: in the media. I don't think Trump likes that stuff. 65 00:03:12,280 --> 00:03:16,360 Speaker 1: He plays very close attention. He's extremely hyper vigilant, and 66 00:03:16,440 --> 00:03:18,640 Speaker 1: so he said flat out, you're not going to enrich 67 00:03:18,720 --> 00:03:21,240 Speaker 1: and they said, despite most of their nuclear capabilities being 68 00:03:21,240 --> 00:03:24,680 Speaker 1: taken offline. Despite the fact that their air defenses were 69 00:03:24,720 --> 00:03:27,840 Speaker 1: completely depleted, they went out and said, we're going to 70 00:03:27,960 --> 00:03:31,680 Speaker 1: enrich to sixty percent anyway, which is inviting an attack. 71 00:03:33,120 --> 00:03:35,400 Speaker 1: And then we start pushing all of those troops, all 72 00:03:35,440 --> 00:03:40,040 Speaker 1: those carriers neuron and they still are underturned. Their rhetoric 73 00:03:40,120 --> 00:03:40,800 Speaker 1: stays the same. 74 00:03:41,160 --> 00:03:41,320 Speaker 3: Now. 75 00:03:41,360 --> 00:03:44,080 Speaker 1: I don't know why that is necessarily. I don't know 76 00:03:44,120 --> 00:03:46,080 Speaker 1: if they had a death wish, because there is a 77 00:03:46,160 --> 00:03:49,600 Speaker 1: death cult element to that regime. More in that momentarily, 78 00:03:50,480 --> 00:03:54,120 Speaker 1: but overall, they pretty much telegraphed that they were going 79 00:03:54,160 --> 00:03:56,760 Speaker 1: to invite an attack. Trump was telegraphing and he was 80 00:03:56,800 --> 00:04:02,120 Speaker 1: willing to do it. The Maduiraid I think set predicate 81 00:04:02,160 --> 00:04:04,480 Speaker 1: for that, as well as the huge military build up 82 00:04:04,480 --> 00:04:07,400 Speaker 1: we had around Iran and that we already had the 83 00:04:07,440 --> 00:04:10,120 Speaker 1: Midnight Hammer attack. So he had proven he was willing 84 00:04:10,160 --> 00:04:14,000 Speaker 1: to take decisive action. Not to mention, and these clips 85 00:04:14,040 --> 00:04:15,920 Speaker 1: have been all over the internet. Maybe I'll play them later. 86 00:04:16,400 --> 00:04:19,080 Speaker 1: But going back to when Trump came down that escalator, 87 00:04:19,120 --> 00:04:22,040 Speaker 1: which is almost eleven years ago, he was talking about 88 00:04:22,040 --> 00:04:25,520 Speaker 1: his desire to bomb Iran, and it's a desire that 89 00:04:25,600 --> 00:04:30,000 Speaker 1: I certainly understand. I don't like prolonged wars. I'll speak 90 00:04:30,000 --> 00:04:32,080 Speaker 1: to that a lot in the days and weeks to come. 91 00:04:32,800 --> 00:04:36,560 Speaker 1: But overall, their Iranian regime did untold amount of bad 92 00:04:36,720 --> 00:04:40,160 Speaker 1: to this country, to the West, and to people who 93 00:04:40,200 --> 00:04:44,039 Speaker 1: are our allies trying to disrupt global markets. They're of 94 00:04:44,080 --> 00:04:46,680 Speaker 1: course aiding China in a major way. All roads lead 95 00:04:46,720 --> 00:04:48,720 Speaker 1: to China. As much as ninety percent of Iranian oil 96 00:04:48,760 --> 00:04:54,040 Speaker 1: experts went to China, Chinese getting oil at a cut 97 00:04:54,160 --> 00:05:01,320 Speaker 1: rate from Iran, making both countries stronger in America's national interests. 98 00:05:03,120 --> 00:05:06,719 Speaker 1: And then we'll see the threats continue. But the nuclear 99 00:05:06,760 --> 00:05:09,640 Speaker 1: threat is so essential because if Trump is to be 100 00:05:09,680 --> 00:05:12,680 Speaker 1: taken at his word, and I certainly I certainly do, 101 00:05:13,520 --> 00:05:15,760 Speaker 1: and if the Iranian governments had be taken at their word, 102 00:05:15,800 --> 00:05:18,120 Speaker 1: which is mixed, but they keep saying they want sixty 103 00:05:18,120 --> 00:05:20,520 Speaker 1: percent of Richmond, it means they want a nuclear weapon. 104 00:05:20,880 --> 00:05:23,280 Speaker 1: And when they've been talking for years about how they 105 00:05:23,279 --> 00:05:25,280 Speaker 1: want to wipe America off the map, how America is 106 00:05:25,279 --> 00:05:30,000 Speaker 1: the great Satan, then it's imperative that we make sure 107 00:05:30,000 --> 00:05:32,400 Speaker 1: that you're not getting nuclear weapon. One thing that we 108 00:05:32,480 --> 00:05:36,799 Speaker 1: do as a people is we choose to spend most 109 00:05:36,839 --> 00:05:41,240 Speaker 1: of our time ignoring the devastation that a nuclear holocaust 110 00:05:41,400 --> 00:05:44,640 Speaker 1: would cause. But within a matter of a couple hours, 111 00:05:45,240 --> 00:05:48,640 Speaker 1: you could see tens of millions, maybe hundreds of millions 112 00:05:48,680 --> 00:05:51,800 Speaker 1: of people killed in this country if we had a 113 00:05:51,920 --> 00:05:54,680 Speaker 1: nuclear world war three, a nuclear world war three would 114 00:05:54,680 --> 00:05:57,960 Speaker 1: probably result in I don't know, maybe two billion deaths. 115 00:05:58,360 --> 00:05:59,960 Speaker 1: It'd be the end of the world as we know it. 116 00:06:01,000 --> 00:06:04,400 Speaker 1: And if a regime over and over again continues to 117 00:06:04,440 --> 00:06:06,719 Speaker 1: say that they want nuclear weapons and that they think 118 00:06:06,760 --> 00:06:11,960 Speaker 1: America is satanic, then it does sort of feel like 119 00:06:12,000 --> 00:06:14,320 Speaker 1: it's a big imperative to make sure they never get 120 00:06:14,360 --> 00:06:19,119 Speaker 1: remotely close to nuclear weapons. Correct, And it's very hard 121 00:06:19,200 --> 00:06:23,280 Speaker 1: to predict or project whether or not Iran would be 122 00:06:23,360 --> 00:06:26,040 Speaker 1: careless enough or foolish enough to ever do something like that, 123 00:06:26,120 --> 00:06:28,840 Speaker 1: even if they had the weapons. You have to take 124 00:06:28,880 --> 00:06:31,440 Speaker 1: them through word. They keep saying they want America wiped 125 00:06:31,480 --> 00:06:33,720 Speaker 1: off the map. They keep saying they hate Israel, they 126 00:06:33,720 --> 00:06:37,719 Speaker 1: hate the West, and they're clearly willing to die for 127 00:06:37,760 --> 00:06:41,400 Speaker 1: that cause, clearly obvious. This week made it more clear 128 00:06:41,400 --> 00:06:45,159 Speaker 1: than ever. Then it's pretty crystal that one of the 129 00:06:45,200 --> 00:06:47,520 Speaker 1: best things Donald Trump could do as president is to 130 00:06:47,560 --> 00:06:51,479 Speaker 1: make sure they do not get nuclear weapons. So he 131 00:06:51,560 --> 00:06:56,840 Speaker 1: goes in and it's a surgical attack, high level military 132 00:06:56,839 --> 00:07:01,640 Speaker 1: targets at first IRGC, around Revolutionary Guard Court targets, trying 133 00:07:01,640 --> 00:07:04,440 Speaker 1: to eliminate nuclear threat that number one, trying to destroy 134 00:07:04,480 --> 00:07:08,000 Speaker 1: ballistic missile production, that's true, trying to take out as 135 00:07:08,000 --> 00:07:10,920 Speaker 1: many of their top military leaders as he can, and 136 00:07:10,960 --> 00:07:12,880 Speaker 1: it sounds like he took out a lot. There's many 137 00:07:12,880 --> 00:07:15,600 Speaker 1: of them, there's many, many generals, so they'll be able 138 00:07:15,600 --> 00:07:19,000 Speaker 1: to stand something back up. But he's trying to prevent 139 00:07:19,080 --> 00:07:23,440 Speaker 1: a ran from arming, funding domestic terrorism, global terrorism, and 140 00:07:23,480 --> 00:07:27,640 Speaker 1: getting nuclear weapons. Seems like a noble goal. Now, I 141 00:07:27,640 --> 00:07:32,000 Speaker 1: will offer my point of caution here. Politically speaking, there 142 00:07:32,080 --> 00:07:35,160 Speaker 1: is zero imperative for President Trump to do any of this. 143 00:07:35,960 --> 00:07:39,880 Speaker 1: There's virtually zero political upside. Is it the right thing 144 00:07:39,920 --> 00:07:41,600 Speaker 1: to do in terms of integrity? Is it the right 145 00:07:41,600 --> 00:07:44,040 Speaker 1: thing to do for peace and preservation in the West? 146 00:07:44,080 --> 00:07:46,640 Speaker 1: I think probably. Is it the right thing to do 147 00:07:46,720 --> 00:07:49,280 Speaker 1: to keep Americans in the West safe? I think probably. 148 00:07:49,520 --> 00:07:51,800 Speaker 1: Don't know for sure, but probably this was the right move. 149 00:07:52,360 --> 00:07:57,120 Speaker 1: But politically then it gets very complicated because obviously the 150 00:07:57,160 --> 00:07:59,440 Speaker 1: people who are on the left, and we've seen examples 151 00:07:59,440 --> 00:08:00,560 Speaker 1: of this all place on the show. 152 00:08:01,080 --> 00:08:01,920 Speaker 3: Hate what Trump did. 153 00:08:02,320 --> 00:08:04,480 Speaker 1: They hate the idea of Trump getting any victories, even 154 00:08:04,480 --> 00:08:07,520 Speaker 1: if it makes America safer. You saw people in the 155 00:08:07,560 --> 00:08:12,600 Speaker 1: Democrat Party and the establishment media clearly siding with the Iatolas, 156 00:08:12,640 --> 00:08:14,960 Speaker 1: and I'm being specific not the Iranian people, because we 157 00:08:15,000 --> 00:08:18,360 Speaker 1: saw demonstrations throughout the streets both in the Western world 158 00:08:18,400 --> 00:08:21,640 Speaker 1: in and Iran that were happy about what happened, delighted 159 00:08:21,680 --> 00:08:26,040 Speaker 1: about what happened, feeling as though they had freedom. So 160 00:08:26,160 --> 00:08:27,800 Speaker 1: you're gonna get a lot of people, though, who are 161 00:08:27,800 --> 00:08:29,560 Speaker 1: gonna be rooting against Trump, where I bet you're gonna 162 00:08:29,560 --> 00:08:31,520 Speaker 1: see articles of impeachment come up. That's gonna come up 163 00:08:31,560 --> 00:08:34,600 Speaker 1: soon because they just want Trump to fail at all costs. 164 00:08:35,040 --> 00:08:36,520 Speaker 1: And there's a lot of people in Trump's base, a 165 00:08:36,520 --> 00:08:38,480 Speaker 1: lot of people read my website riper dot com every 166 00:08:38,520 --> 00:08:40,600 Speaker 1: day and comment on our pages that do not like 167 00:08:40,640 --> 00:08:44,240 Speaker 1: this because they've been burned too many times, too many times. 168 00:08:44,320 --> 00:08:45,839 Speaker 1: We thought that we were going to go in the 169 00:08:45,880 --> 00:08:49,079 Speaker 1: Middle East and we're going to do something strategic things, 170 00:08:49,080 --> 00:08:53,040 Speaker 1: you're gonna get safer, and it's always failed, always. But 171 00:08:53,400 --> 00:08:57,200 Speaker 1: President Trump is different. He wants an aerial attack. He 172 00:08:57,240 --> 00:08:59,840 Speaker 1: wants a surgical attack and this thing can be over 173 00:09:00,080 --> 00:09:02,360 Speaker 1: in a matter of a few days. Then I think 174 00:09:02,400 --> 00:09:04,400 Speaker 1: he believes that we're gonna be looking back on this 175 00:09:04,760 --> 00:09:06,280 Speaker 1: in the next couple of weeks or a couple of 176 00:09:06,320 --> 00:09:08,480 Speaker 1: months and think it was just another w for Trump. 177 00:09:09,880 --> 00:09:13,360 Speaker 1: So that is what the president must get done if 178 00:09:13,400 --> 00:09:16,360 Speaker 1: he wants to save face politically, because if this is 179 00:09:16,400 --> 00:09:18,240 Speaker 1: a prolonged thing, if they're boots on the ground, if 180 00:09:18,240 --> 00:09:20,839 Speaker 1: a lot of Americans get killed, then he's going to 181 00:09:20,920 --> 00:09:23,360 Speaker 1: be very hard to sell this to even his own base, 182 00:09:23,440 --> 00:09:26,440 Speaker 1: much less people already haters of him. And remember the 183 00:09:26,480 --> 00:09:28,880 Speaker 1: never Trumper is they're not coming back. The Left, they're 184 00:09:28,880 --> 00:09:30,640 Speaker 1: not coming back. So he's got to keep that base 185 00:09:30,720 --> 00:09:32,400 Speaker 1: coalition together, and he's got to be mindful of this 186 00:09:33,000 --> 00:09:36,520 Speaker 1: because even though it looks like a successful attack as 187 00:09:36,559 --> 00:09:38,839 Speaker 1: of now, things could change pretty quickly and I'll give 188 00:09:38,840 --> 00:09:42,720 Speaker 1: you some details on where I'm concerned. But he's got 189 00:09:42,720 --> 00:09:45,319 Speaker 1: to maintain that base because if he does not have 190 00:09:45,400 --> 00:09:47,880 Speaker 1: that base support heading in the midterm election, it's gonna 191 00:09:47,880 --> 00:09:51,160 Speaker 1: be impeachment investigation bonanza, and any good that he did 192 00:09:51,160 --> 00:09:55,760 Speaker 1: here overseas is going to completely shut down his domestic agenda, 193 00:09:55,800 --> 00:09:57,880 Speaker 1: which is what the vast majority of Americans care about. 194 00:09:58,559 --> 00:10:00,599 Speaker 1: So much more to do today, but I don't know 195 00:10:02,080 --> 00:10:08,800 Speaker 1: it's not on the screen, so as usual, okay, all right, 196 00:10:08,920 --> 00:10:12,040 Speaker 1: So more things that I want to talk about here. 197 00:10:14,400 --> 00:10:18,119 Speaker 1: One thing that here is crystal to me from observing 198 00:10:18,840 --> 00:10:21,880 Speaker 1: the way the president has acted is so he wants 199 00:10:21,960 --> 00:10:24,840 Speaker 1: to be a president of his word. And if you 200 00:10:24,840 --> 00:10:29,480 Speaker 1: declear destruction against the United States, and you are a 201 00:10:29,720 --> 00:10:33,600 Speaker 1: regime that has a record of terror against our people, 202 00:10:35,280 --> 00:10:37,600 Speaker 1: if you have a record of taking Americans hostage as 203 00:10:37,640 --> 00:10:40,960 Speaker 1: they do, then he's going to be willing to do 204 00:10:41,040 --> 00:10:45,480 Speaker 1: things like try to have a bombing campaign that is 205 00:10:45,640 --> 00:10:48,880 Speaker 1: over before people even know what happened. And this will 206 00:10:48,920 --> 00:10:50,440 Speaker 1: go on for a couple more days. It's not quite 207 00:10:50,520 --> 00:10:52,559 Speaker 1: as simple as some of the other aerial attacks we've 208 00:10:52,600 --> 00:10:55,680 Speaker 1: had in the past, but by and large that's the strategy. 209 00:10:55,679 --> 00:10:57,959 Speaker 1: And if he can stay focused and maintain that that 210 00:10:58,040 --> 00:11:01,400 Speaker 1: we're going in, we're bombing quickly, we're getting out without 211 00:11:02,480 --> 00:11:05,559 Speaker 1: huge investment into what comes next, then he could have 212 00:11:05,600 --> 00:11:06,199 Speaker 1: a victory here. 213 00:11:06,240 --> 00:11:06,920 Speaker 3: We'll be right back. 214 00:11:13,120 --> 00:11:16,679 Speaker 1: As Operation Epic Fury intensifies, the world races for what 215 00:11:16,760 --> 00:11:20,000 Speaker 1: comes next, and people of faith, Pray for freedom, for 216 00:11:20,120 --> 00:11:23,559 Speaker 1: God's people to be protected in the Holy Land. Red 217 00:11:23,600 --> 00:11:26,320 Speaker 1: alert sirens fill the air sirens. They give you fifteen 218 00:11:26,400 --> 00:11:29,960 Speaker 1: seconds to reach the nearest bomb shelter. The situation is serious, 219 00:11:30,040 --> 00:11:32,559 Speaker 1: the threat is real, and in times like this, freedom 220 00:11:32,640 --> 00:11:36,760 Speaker 1: and faith aren't just abstract ideas. They're what we depend upon. 221 00:11:37,400 --> 00:11:40,040 Speaker 1: And the International Fellowship of Christians and Jews is on 222 00:11:40,080 --> 00:11:43,199 Speaker 1: the ground preparing large scale distributions of life saving food, 223 00:11:43,320 --> 00:11:48,040 Speaker 1: first aid, and emergency essentials for security personnel, while helping 224 00:11:48,080 --> 00:11:51,480 Speaker 1: insure hospitals, emergency rooms and shelters are stocked with critical 225 00:11:51,520 --> 00:11:55,160 Speaker 1: medical supplies. This state is focused on Israel's most vulnerable, 226 00:11:55,480 --> 00:11:58,320 Speaker 1: the sick, the elderly, children and families in great need. 227 00:11:58,840 --> 00:12:01,960 Speaker 1: But the Fellowship needs your most generous gift today to 228 00:12:02,040 --> 00:12:05,320 Speaker 1: make this work possible. Now is your time to stand 229 00:12:05,360 --> 00:12:08,720 Speaker 1: with Israel's most vulnerable. To rush your gift. Call eight 230 00:12:08,760 --> 00:12:13,240 Speaker 1: eight eight four eight eight IFCJ. That's eight eight eight 231 00:12:13,400 --> 00:12:18,120 Speaker 1: four eight eight IFCJ, or go online at IFCJ dot org. 232 00:12:18,480 --> 00:12:22,960 Speaker 1: That's IFCJ dot org. Talking a lot about the developing 233 00:12:22,960 --> 00:12:26,600 Speaker 1: situation in Iran and throughout the Middle East, where Iran 234 00:12:26,720 --> 00:12:30,920 Speaker 1: is carrying out certain levels of counterattacks they're of course 235 00:12:30,960 --> 00:12:33,000 Speaker 1: not making as far as United States, but just know 236 00:12:33,080 --> 00:12:35,000 Speaker 1: that that would be their intention if they could, which 237 00:12:35,040 --> 00:12:36,920 Speaker 1: is all the more reason why Trump wanted to prevent 238 00:12:36,960 --> 00:12:40,720 Speaker 1: them from having a nuclear weapons. But what's unknown now 239 00:12:40,880 --> 00:12:43,520 Speaker 1: is what comes next. Will the people be able to 240 00:12:43,559 --> 00:12:45,360 Speaker 1: take over and this is going to be very tough. 241 00:12:45,400 --> 00:12:49,920 Speaker 1: We're seeing a huge widespread outpouring of support both within 242 00:12:50,000 --> 00:12:53,120 Speaker 1: Iran and abroad. I'll tell you driving around Los Angeles 243 00:12:53,120 --> 00:12:56,520 Speaker 1: over the weekend, the institutional laft, the AstroTurf laugh wasn't 244 00:12:56,520 --> 00:12:59,240 Speaker 1: able to spin up any of the protests the same 245 00:12:59,280 --> 00:13:02,080 Speaker 1: way they have been with the anti ice raids that 246 00:13:02,080 --> 00:13:04,800 Speaker 1: we've seen. But what we did see was just a 247 00:13:04,880 --> 00:13:08,400 Speaker 1: huge outpouring of pro Iranian support to people supporting the 248 00:13:08,400 --> 00:13:11,000 Speaker 1: people of Iran and people who are happy that they 249 00:13:11,040 --> 00:13:15,200 Speaker 1: could potentially be liberated, which is a net positive. Again, 250 00:13:15,360 --> 00:13:19,400 Speaker 1: President Trump is america first president politically speaking, needs to 251 00:13:19,480 --> 00:13:21,960 Speaker 1: keep the focus on what is best for Americans, so 252 00:13:21,960 --> 00:13:23,640 Speaker 1: he's got to have to make that case to the public. 253 00:13:23,679 --> 00:13:26,000 Speaker 1: I think going forward why this was such is so 254 00:13:26,040 --> 00:13:28,800 Speaker 1: important for Americans, which can be easier said than done, 255 00:13:28,840 --> 00:13:32,280 Speaker 1: particularly with the media is rooting against him. But a 256 00:13:32,280 --> 00:13:35,040 Speaker 1: lot of people, particularly the vast Persian communities around where 257 00:13:35,080 --> 00:13:37,080 Speaker 1: I live, they're very, very happy about what's going on. 258 00:13:37,880 --> 00:13:40,400 Speaker 1: But you go online and you see a different picture. 259 00:13:40,520 --> 00:13:42,760 Speaker 1: You see a president who had branded himself as the 260 00:13:42,760 --> 00:13:46,280 Speaker 1: peacetime president continue to attack other countries. We see that 261 00:13:46,320 --> 00:13:48,760 Speaker 1: there's no guarantee that American boots won't be on the 262 00:13:48,800 --> 00:13:52,000 Speaker 1: ground in Iran, and we have no concept of what's 263 00:13:52,040 --> 00:13:54,480 Speaker 1: going to come next, and there's a lot of possible scenarios. 264 00:13:54,520 --> 00:13:56,880 Speaker 1: But Trump himself said that a lot of the people 265 00:13:56,920 --> 00:13:59,719 Speaker 1: who were perhaps next in line got taken out in 266 00:13:59,760 --> 00:14:03,000 Speaker 1: the He's touting that as an even broader victory, which 267 00:14:03,040 --> 00:14:06,240 Speaker 1: might be true. But it's really interesting to see what's 268 00:14:06,280 --> 00:14:09,280 Speaker 1: going to happen with the Iran Revolutionary Guard Corps, because 269 00:14:09,520 --> 00:14:15,200 Speaker 1: if they are still loyal to the murderous, genocidal Iotolas, 270 00:14:15,760 --> 00:14:18,240 Speaker 1: then even if they knock out the top generals, the 271 00:14:18,240 --> 00:14:21,120 Speaker 1: top leaders, they're still going to want to engage in 272 00:14:21,120 --> 00:14:23,960 Speaker 1: the deaf cult like behavior that we've seen from that 273 00:14:24,120 --> 00:14:26,400 Speaker 1: faction in Iran, which has been the faction in power 274 00:14:26,400 --> 00:14:29,120 Speaker 1: for so long. So there are a lot of people 275 00:14:29,160 --> 00:14:32,560 Speaker 1: in Iran with I think a Western sensibility that would 276 00:14:32,640 --> 00:14:36,000 Speaker 1: yearn for freedom, that would yearn for legal due process, 277 00:14:36,480 --> 00:14:39,640 Speaker 1: would yearn for a free press, not have political prisoners. 278 00:14:40,680 --> 00:14:43,640 Speaker 1: But the people who've been in charge have been incredibly ruthless, 279 00:14:43,760 --> 00:14:47,880 Speaker 1: and to the suggestion that it's a guarantee that won't 280 00:14:47,960 --> 00:14:51,760 Speaker 1: just be what replaces it is we're put in the 281 00:14:51,760 --> 00:14:55,080 Speaker 1: car before the horse here, especially when we know, and 282 00:14:55,120 --> 00:14:58,960 Speaker 1: this is crystal Trump understands this, that there's no appetite 283 00:14:58,960 --> 00:15:01,040 Speaker 1: for Americans going in and starting to try to build 284 00:15:01,080 --> 00:15:04,040 Speaker 1: a democracy. Let's said, I do think it is a 285 00:15:04,080 --> 00:15:09,400 Speaker 1: pretty hilarious dunk on the warmonger class of yesteryear, the 286 00:15:09,960 --> 00:15:11,920 Speaker 1: type of people who wanted us to go and export 287 00:15:11,960 --> 00:15:15,480 Speaker 1: democracy around the world. This probably gives around the best 288 00:15:15,480 --> 00:15:19,280 Speaker 1: shot as a tad in forever because of this, because 289 00:15:19,280 --> 00:15:22,200 Speaker 1: of Trump's actions in forty seven years, we have not 290 00:15:22,360 --> 00:15:24,640 Speaker 1: have this opportunity in iron for the Iranian people, and 291 00:15:24,680 --> 00:15:26,680 Speaker 1: I root for them, I really do, but it is 292 00:15:26,800 --> 00:15:30,600 Speaker 1: essential that the military allows for them to do it, 293 00:15:30,640 --> 00:15:33,160 Speaker 1: which they might not. So what'll be interesting to see 294 00:15:33,200 --> 00:15:34,600 Speaker 1: is who stands in the breach. And one thing I 295 00:15:34,640 --> 00:15:37,440 Speaker 1: know about President Trump is that he does believe that 296 00:15:37,520 --> 00:15:41,640 Speaker 1: individual leaders make a big difference. Is not just about ideology. 297 00:15:42,240 --> 00:15:43,960 Speaker 1: So even if we have someone who comes in with 298 00:15:44,000 --> 00:15:48,800 Speaker 1: a similar ideology to the Iatolas, whatever is next. If 299 00:15:48,800 --> 00:15:52,000 Speaker 1: that person or people is not as compelling of a 300 00:15:52,120 --> 00:15:56,920 Speaker 1: leader and is not as steadfast in standing against the 301 00:15:57,000 --> 00:15:59,720 Speaker 1: United States and our allies, then they might not be 302 00:15:59,760 --> 00:16:02,520 Speaker 1: as if effective. So this is one thing that he 303 00:16:03,040 --> 00:16:05,160 Speaker 1: has been tracking. I think since the death of Solomany 304 00:16:05,240 --> 00:16:07,760 Speaker 1: that Iran's military has gotten so much weaker because he 305 00:16:07,800 --> 00:16:10,320 Speaker 1: did seem to be irreplaceable. I think he was a 306 00:16:10,720 --> 00:16:14,480 Speaker 1: unique leader, not just someone who is hyper aggressive, but 307 00:16:14,600 --> 00:16:18,000 Speaker 1: someone who was inspiring to people who worked beneath him, 308 00:16:18,320 --> 00:16:20,560 Speaker 1: and his death I think has not been something that 309 00:16:20,600 --> 00:16:23,600 Speaker 1: Iran was able to fully recover from. So that could 310 00:16:23,600 --> 00:16:25,760 Speaker 1: be the situation here, and that's the best case scenario 311 00:16:25,880 --> 00:16:30,000 Speaker 1: for us. But I'll tell you the notable opposition to 312 00:16:30,200 --> 00:16:34,240 Speaker 1: the Ietolas at the moment is not clear. It's not coherent. 313 00:16:34,960 --> 00:16:37,760 Speaker 1: There's no charismatic leader. I think he's very far fast 314 00:16:37,800 --> 00:16:40,200 Speaker 1: to see the Shaw come back. So what's going to 315 00:16:40,240 --> 00:16:43,120 Speaker 1: happen next. I don't know, but hopefully it will be better. 316 00:16:43,120 --> 00:16:46,160 Speaker 1: I'm optimistic it will be better, but it's certainly not 317 00:16:46,240 --> 00:16:48,280 Speaker 1: something that we know for sure. So much more to come, 318 00:16:48,280 --> 00:16:51,440 Speaker 1: plus reactions from around the world, and the next segment 319 00:16:51,520 --> 00:17:00,560 Speaker 1: will be right back. As Operation Epic Theory intensified, the 320 00:17:00,560 --> 00:17:03,520 Speaker 1: world braces for what comes next, and people of faith 321 00:17:03,600 --> 00:17:06,800 Speaker 1: pray for freedom and for God's people to be protected 322 00:17:07,480 --> 00:17:10,080 Speaker 1: in the Holy Land. Red alert sirens fill the air. 323 00:17:10,600 --> 00:17:12,879 Speaker 1: Sirens will give you fifteen seconds to reach the nearest 324 00:17:12,920 --> 00:17:16,560 Speaker 1: bomb shelter. The situation is serious, the threat is real. 325 00:17:17,040 --> 00:17:20,879 Speaker 1: In times like this, freedom and faith aren't just abstract ideas. 326 00:17:21,160 --> 00:17:24,520 Speaker 1: They're what we depend upon. And the International Fellowship of 327 00:17:24,600 --> 00:17:27,840 Speaker 1: Christians and Jews is on the ground preparing large scale 328 00:17:27,880 --> 00:17:32,120 Speaker 1: distributions of life saving food, first aid and emergency essentials 329 00:17:32,160 --> 00:17:36,760 Speaker 1: for security personnel, while helping ensure hospitals, emergency rooms, and 330 00:17:36,800 --> 00:17:40,480 Speaker 1: shelters are stocked with critical medical supplies. This aid is 331 00:17:40,480 --> 00:17:43,320 Speaker 1: focused on Israel's most vulnerable, the sick, the elderly, children, 332 00:17:43,640 --> 00:17:47,120 Speaker 1: families in great need. But the Fellowship needs your most 333 00:17:47,160 --> 00:17:50,679 Speaker 1: generous gift today to make this work possible.

That's eight 336 00:17:59,520 --> 00:18:04,560 Speaker 1: eight eight four eight eight IFCJ, or go online at 337 00:18:04,640 --> 00:18:10,520 Speaker 1: IFCJ dot org. That's IFCJ dot org. One other thing 338 00:18:10,800 --> 00:18:13,040 Speaker 1: that's an important vector to keep an eye on is 339 00:18:13,160 --> 00:18:17,840 Speaker 1: downstream effects on the attack on Iran and looking at 340 00:18:17,840 --> 00:18:20,080 Speaker 1: how it could affect your life personally. I know a 341 00:18:20,080 --> 00:18:23,320 Speaker 1: lot of people ideologically are very happy to see the 342 00:18:23,840 --> 00:18:27,840 Speaker 1: Ietolas get killed, a didnt Jagat killed others who are 343 00:18:27,880 --> 00:18:29,919 Speaker 1: waiting in the wings. All this is going to be 344 00:18:29,960 --> 00:18:34,359 Speaker 1: deeply destabilizing to the frankly evil Iranian government, and I 345 00:18:34,400 --> 00:18:36,760 Speaker 1: think that that is something that is usually a net 346 00:18:36,840 --> 00:18:38,560 Speaker 1: positive for the world. I think it has a lot 347 00:18:38,600 --> 00:18:41,080 Speaker 1: of potential there as well. But also the concern that 348 00:18:41,119 --> 00:18:44,199 Speaker 1: Americans could enter a boots on the ground or in 349 00:18:44,200 --> 00:18:47,440 Speaker 1: Iran is going to feel very abstract and very offbeat 350 00:18:47,800 --> 00:18:50,240 Speaker 1: for President Trump and what he stood for thus far. 351 00:18:50,800 --> 00:18:54,359 Speaker 1: But a lot of people will maintain those concerns about affordability, 352 00:18:54,480 --> 00:18:57,640 Speaker 1: the American economy, and whether or not our lives here 353 00:18:57,640 --> 00:18:59,840 Speaker 1: in the United States are going to be changed for 354 00:19:00,160 --> 00:19:02,159 Speaker 1: better or for worse. And one thing to keep an 355 00:19:02,160 --> 00:19:05,160 Speaker 1: eye on is markets, money, where things are moving, and 356 00:19:05,440 --> 00:19:07,000 Speaker 1: some things I want to update you on right now 357 00:19:07,119 --> 00:19:09,280 Speaker 1: is stock market right now is holding up pretty well. 358 00:19:09,359 --> 00:19:12,440 Speaker 1: Was down just a touch on Monday morning as we're recording, 359 00:19:12,680 --> 00:19:15,399 Speaker 1: because the investors don't think the US economy is in 360 00:19:15,400 --> 00:19:17,800 Speaker 1: big trouble for this. A lot of this is because 361 00:19:17,840 --> 00:19:21,320 Speaker 1: the US is much less dependent on Persian gulf oil. 362 00:19:21,840 --> 00:19:24,879 Speaker 1: And keep in mind who is really dependent on it, 363 00:19:24,880 --> 00:19:27,000 Speaker 1: It's China. So this is one of these things where 364 00:19:27,040 --> 00:19:30,720 Speaker 1: again this could actually position America in a slightly better 365 00:19:30,880 --> 00:19:35,159 Speaker 1: place relative to the other global superpower. Also, freeing up 366 00:19:35,200 --> 00:19:38,080 Speaker 1: Venezuela and oil, which we have done with the Marguirou raid, 367 00:19:38,480 --> 00:19:42,480 Speaker 1: may have also made this. Another made the timing even 368 00:19:42,520 --> 00:19:45,160 Speaker 1: better for President Trump here, even though again I think 369 00:19:45,160 --> 00:19:47,520 Speaker 1: the timing was related to Trump laid out a year 370 00:19:47,560 --> 00:19:51,800 Speaker 1: ago you need to nobilistic missiles, no being a state 371 00:19:51,840 --> 00:19:55,320 Speaker 1: sponsored terror, no nuclear weapon pursuing, and they did all 372 00:19:55,320 --> 00:19:55,800 Speaker 1: that stuff. 373 00:19:55,920 --> 00:19:57,280 Speaker 3: So I think that's the main thing. 374 00:19:57,440 --> 00:19:59,560 Speaker 1: But energy prices are up a little bit, but really 375 00:19:59,640 --> 00:20:02,320 Speaker 1: a lot less than I would have anticipated, even and 376 00:20:02,400 --> 00:20:04,600 Speaker 1: I think a lot of people are probably going to 377 00:20:04,640 --> 00:20:08,520 Speaker 1: react positive to that. In markets, the dollar is strengthening. 378 00:20:08,680 --> 00:20:12,840 Speaker 1: This happens when there's more geopolitical upheaval. So those of 379 00:20:12,840 --> 00:20:14,720 Speaker 1: you who are who like a strong dollar, you've got that. 380 00:20:15,200 --> 00:20:18,400 Speaker 1: So the big question I guess is if oil prices, 381 00:20:18,600 --> 00:20:20,320 Speaker 1: how high will they go? They'll certainly go up a 382 00:20:20,320 --> 00:20:23,840 Speaker 1: little bit, and will that feed inflation because one of 383 00:20:23,880 --> 00:20:25,720 Speaker 1: the things that Trump has got to tout is that 384 00:20:26,040 --> 00:20:27,160 Speaker 1: gas price is coming down. 385 00:20:27,240 --> 00:20:28,320 Speaker 3: That's very strong for him. 386 00:20:28,880 --> 00:20:31,159 Speaker 1: And would higher oil prices does that mean everything the 387 00:20:31,200 --> 00:20:33,840 Speaker 1: price of everything is going to go up? And there's 388 00:20:34,160 --> 00:20:37,919 Speaker 1: usually mixed evidence on this, but is not a guarantee. 389 00:20:37,960 --> 00:20:40,239 Speaker 1: It's not a guarantee, and so we'll be tracking that 390 00:20:40,400 --> 00:20:44,680 Speaker 1: a lot. But there's a lot of unexpected consequences. Reuters 391 00:20:44,760 --> 00:20:49,000 Speaker 1: is reporting that world sugar prices rallied two percent because 392 00:20:49,000 --> 00:20:51,640 Speaker 1: there are fears that the conflict is in the resulting 393 00:20:51,640 --> 00:20:56,640 Speaker 1: disruption and energy surprise supplies will prompt Brazilian cane mills 394 00:20:56,680 --> 00:21:00,520 Speaker 1: to produce more ethanol and less sugar. It's very strange 395 00:21:00,560 --> 00:21:04,480 Speaker 1: and complicated the way the world's economy is interconnected. And 396 00:21:04,520 --> 00:21:06,840 Speaker 1: this is one where I say this as someone who 397 00:21:07,000 --> 00:21:11,520 Speaker 1: trusts the president, backs the president in general, and think 398 00:21:11,560 --> 00:21:13,639 Speaker 1: that he has thought through a lot of the scenarios. 399 00:21:13,680 --> 00:21:16,120 Speaker 1: I think he's thought a lot about his reputation as 400 00:21:16,119 --> 00:21:18,800 Speaker 1: someone who is not someone who starts wars, certainly someone 401 00:21:18,840 --> 00:21:21,439 Speaker 1: who doesn't like to do regime change, how way across 402 00:21:21,480 --> 00:21:23,359 Speaker 1: the world, and how he's used it to his benefit. 403 00:21:23,920 --> 00:21:26,439 Speaker 1: I also I assume he's thought through most of this stuff, 404 00:21:26,640 --> 00:21:28,840 Speaker 1: but I do think that it's impossible to think through 405 00:21:28,880 --> 00:21:31,520 Speaker 1: everything like thinking through Well, the price of sugar could 406 00:21:31,560 --> 00:21:35,360 Speaker 1: go up because of this, which could affect American families 407 00:21:35,359 --> 00:21:38,479 Speaker 1: who are completely disconnected, who probably weren't even aware of 408 00:21:38,480 --> 00:21:40,159 Speaker 1: some of them, that there is a war going on 409 00:21:40,240 --> 00:21:42,880 Speaker 1: in Iran at the moment. I think that's really really 410 00:21:42,880 --> 00:21:44,960 Speaker 1: interesting to see that, and it's why we have to 411 00:21:45,000 --> 00:21:47,320 Speaker 1: keep an eye on it, and we can trust, but 412 00:21:47,359 --> 00:21:50,080 Speaker 1: we also got to verify and make sure that this 413 00:21:50,160 --> 00:21:53,600 Speaker 1: does not turn into sort of a prolonged, protracted regime 414 00:21:53,680 --> 00:21:56,120 Speaker 1: chain situation with American boots on the ground. I think 415 00:21:56,119 --> 00:21:59,400 Speaker 1: there's almost no political appetite for that it no matter 416 00:21:59,440 --> 00:22:01,840 Speaker 1: who comes into power, because we don't know if anything's 417 00:22:01,880 --> 00:22:03,800 Speaker 1: going to be sustaining. And that's the whole nature of 418 00:22:04,359 --> 00:22:06,879 Speaker 1: the country. It's a very complex country. A lot of 419 00:22:06,880 --> 00:22:10,280 Speaker 1: they're very sophisticated, a lot of advanced technologies. They have 420 00:22:10,280 --> 00:22:14,919 Speaker 1: a lot of factions that are deeply religious and deeply 421 00:22:14,960 --> 00:22:17,960 Speaker 1: committed to the destruction of America. At a religious level, 422 00:22:18,280 --> 00:22:20,920 Speaker 1: and that's not to be trifled with. So it's complicated 423 00:22:20,920 --> 00:22:24,479 Speaker 1: stuff ahead. It is a big headache. It's a headache 424 00:22:24,520 --> 00:22:28,040 Speaker 1: that it feels relatively under control at the moment, but 425 00:22:28,800 --> 00:22:30,840 Speaker 1: we don't know. We don't know where it's going. One 426 00:22:30,840 --> 00:22:33,680 Speaker 1: thing that's very important to point out is the administration 427 00:22:33,920 --> 00:22:36,600 Speaker 1: is not giving out a lot of content. President Trump 428 00:22:36,640 --> 00:22:39,440 Speaker 1: is calling journalists a little bit. You might hear from 429 00:22:39,440 --> 00:22:42,280 Speaker 1: Secretary Rubio, you might hear from Secretary Headsets, but that's 430 00:22:42,320 --> 00:22:44,320 Speaker 1: about it. I of course reached out to the White 431 00:22:44,320 --> 00:22:46,080 Speaker 1: House before the show, see if I can get anyone 432 00:22:46,280 --> 00:22:48,760 Speaker 1: to come on and talk. They don't really want to talk, 433 00:22:48,880 --> 00:22:53,320 Speaker 1: which makes sense. I cross checked this with some context 434 00:22:53,400 --> 00:22:56,000 Speaker 1: with the National Security Council I have, and that seems 435 00:22:56,000 --> 00:22:57,800 Speaker 1: to be the mandate that's coming down is we're not 436 00:22:57,840 --> 00:23:00,480 Speaker 1: talking that much. Left the President Marco haggs to lay 437 00:23:00,480 --> 00:23:04,000 Speaker 1: out what's going on. So let's oblige them and play 438 00:23:04,040 --> 00:23:06,480 Speaker 1: some cuts. This is cut one. This is Pete Haiksath. 439 00:23:06,520 --> 00:23:07,760 Speaker 1: This morning, two. 440 00:23:07,600 --> 00:23:10,600 Speaker 4: Days ago, under the direction and direct orders of President 441 00:23:10,680 --> 00:23:14,320 Speaker 4: Donald J. Trump, the Department of War launched Operation Epic Fury, 442 00:23:15,240 --> 00:23:19,640 Speaker 4: the most lethal, most complex, and most precise aerial operation 443 00:23:19,800 --> 00:23:24,679 Speaker 4: in history. For forty seven long years, the expansionist and 444 00:23:24,800 --> 00:23:28,719 Speaker 4: Islamist regime in Tehran has waiged a savage, one sided 445 00:23:28,760 --> 00:23:33,280 Speaker 4: war against America. They didn't always declare it openly, except 446 00:23:33,280 --> 00:23:36,680 Speaker 4: for their constant chance of death to America. They did 447 00:23:36,680 --> 00:23:40,320 Speaker 4: it through the blood of our people, car bombs in Beirut, 448 00:23:40,840 --> 00:23:45,280 Speaker 4: rocket attacks on our ships, murders at our embassy's roadside, 449 00:23:45,280 --> 00:23:50,399 Speaker 4: bombs in Iraq and Afghanistan, funded and armed by Irani 450 00:23:50,400 --> 00:23:53,280 Speaker 4: and the Kud's force and IRGC killers. 451 00:23:55,119 --> 00:23:57,119 Speaker 1: It's a great summary, and this is something that's very 452 00:23:57,119 --> 00:23:59,240 Speaker 1: important that a lot of people are going to start 453 00:23:59,280 --> 00:24:02,280 Speaker 1: doing some crash as in Iranian history to see why 454 00:24:02,320 --> 00:24:04,800 Speaker 1: we did this and what comes next. But when you're 455 00:24:04,840 --> 00:24:09,240 Speaker 1: talking about a country with sophisticated scientists, with a who 456 00:24:09,400 --> 00:24:11,879 Speaker 1: seem bound and determined to building a nuclear bomb and 457 00:24:11,960 --> 00:24:15,960 Speaker 1: to destroying America, it's hard to overlook that. And I'm 458 00:24:16,000 --> 00:24:19,120 Speaker 1: not a person who isn't scarred, as are the rest 459 00:24:19,119 --> 00:24:23,240 Speaker 1: of you with all of the misinformation, certainly amount of 460 00:24:23,320 --> 00:24:25,600 Speaker 1: lying that went on with the Iraq War and even 461 00:24:25,640 --> 00:24:28,960 Speaker 1: the Afghanistan War. So I remain very cautious. But that 462 00:24:29,119 --> 00:24:32,040 Speaker 1: just seems pretty logical. They've been held bent on destroying 463 00:24:32,040 --> 00:24:34,240 Speaker 1: this country for a long time if they could do it, 464 00:24:34,280 --> 00:24:37,280 Speaker 1: and they keep trying to do it despite Donald Trump's 465 00:24:37,280 --> 00:24:41,439 Speaker 1: demands and already effective attacks seem to have not deterred them. Ideologically. 466 00:24:41,680 --> 00:24:44,000 Speaker 1: That's a scary thing and it's noteworthy to point it out, 467 00:24:44,160 --> 00:24:46,680 Speaker 1: and that history is very valid. The history is also 468 00:24:46,760 --> 00:24:50,159 Speaker 1: very complicated in terms of what preceded the Iatolas, and 469 00:24:50,160 --> 00:24:51,600 Speaker 1: this is one where a lot of people I don't 470 00:24:51,600 --> 00:24:55,760 Speaker 1: think are with the program. There is some viral content 471 00:24:55,800 --> 00:24:58,200 Speaker 1: online suggesting maybe the Shaw will come back to power. 472 00:24:59,080 --> 00:25:01,760 Speaker 1: The Shaw was not super effective leader. This is worth 473 00:25:01,760 --> 00:25:04,080 Speaker 1: a much deeper dive on the show at some point. 474 00:25:04,280 --> 00:25:07,440 Speaker 1: There's been a lot of pro Shaw revisionist history online 475 00:25:07,600 --> 00:25:11,119 Speaker 1: and Iran was not a sensational, thriving place before the 476 00:25:11,119 --> 00:25:13,960 Speaker 1: Ayatolas came in. So even though it was very unlikely 477 00:25:14,119 --> 00:25:17,080 Speaker 1: the way the Iatolas came in initially and it's a 478 00:25:17,080 --> 00:25:19,000 Speaker 1: pretty interesting history if we have the time to go 479 00:25:19,040 --> 00:25:21,600 Speaker 1: through it, which hopefully one day we will, but it 480 00:25:21,640 --> 00:25:24,520 Speaker 1: was not. It was one of these things where the 481 00:25:24,520 --> 00:25:26,879 Speaker 1: Shaw was just not effective, and the thought that the 482 00:25:26,960 --> 00:25:30,440 Speaker 1: Shaw's Sun or whatever is going to now take over 483 00:25:30,480 --> 00:25:33,520 Speaker 1: the country. Make it democracy very very remote. All right, 484 00:25:33,560 --> 00:25:35,520 Speaker 1: we got more Pete heggsath Let's play cutoo please. 485 00:25:35,920 --> 00:25:39,520 Speaker 4: We didn't start this war, but under President Trump, we 486 00:25:39,600 --> 00:25:43,960 Speaker 4: are finishing it. Their war on Americans has become our 487 00:25:44,080 --> 00:25:50,320 Speaker 4: retribution against their Ayatola and his death cult. It took 488 00:25:50,359 --> 00:25:54,280 Speaker 4: the forty seventh president, a fighter who always puts America first, 489 00:25:54,760 --> 00:25:58,199 Speaker 4: to finally draw the line after forty seven years of 490 00:25:58,200 --> 00:26:02,240 Speaker 4: Iranian belligerents. He reminded the world, as he has time 491 00:26:02,280 --> 00:26:07,160 Speaker 4: and time again, being an American means something unbreakable. If 492 00:26:07,160 --> 00:26:11,119 Speaker 4: you kill Americans, if you threaten Americans anywhere on Earth, 493 00:26:11,200 --> 00:26:15,320 Speaker 4: we will hunt you down without apology and without hesitation, 494 00:26:15,760 --> 00:26:17,680 Speaker 4: and we will kill you. 495 00:26:18,560 --> 00:26:20,119 Speaker 3: I love it. I mean, how could you not like it? 496 00:26:20,160 --> 00:26:22,879 Speaker 1: Even if you feel like that, you're just praying this 497 00:26:23,040 --> 00:26:25,760 Speaker 1: ends quickly, and you're praying. Trumpet thought through all the 498 00:26:25,760 --> 00:26:28,359 Speaker 1: scenarios that I talked about, that all the risks politically, 499 00:26:28,840 --> 00:26:30,200 Speaker 1: and how we got to get to the point where 500 00:26:30,200 --> 00:26:33,120 Speaker 1: we're declaring victory very soon, and we've got to keep 501 00:26:33,119 --> 00:26:37,560 Speaker 1: our expectations really moderate and temperate. That something really fantastic 502 00:26:37,640 --> 00:26:39,760 Speaker 1: is going to take the place of the eye toolas 503 00:26:40,200 --> 00:26:43,280 Speaker 1: but this the idea that if you declare that you're 504 00:26:43,280 --> 00:26:45,640 Speaker 1: going to kill Americans and you're going to pursue where 505 00:26:45,680 --> 00:26:48,080 Speaker 1: their reports are they were looking a hypersonic weapons which 506 00:26:48,119 --> 00:26:51,199 Speaker 1: could take out aircraft carriers. If you're going to keep 507 00:26:51,280 --> 00:26:54,240 Speaker 1: talking like that and acting like that for nearly half 508 00:26:54,280 --> 00:26:56,720 Speaker 1: a century, then we're going to come get you eventually. 509 00:26:57,840 --> 00:26:59,800 Speaker 1: And one thing that is really important for those of 510 00:26:59,800 --> 00:27:02,199 Speaker 1: you your life who are just completely out on this 511 00:27:02,280 --> 00:27:05,080 Speaker 1: and it's all a terrible idea, just ask them, if 512 00:27:05,119 --> 00:27:07,879 Speaker 1: you're completely opposed to any action, what is the alternative? 513 00:27:08,440 --> 00:27:12,560 Speaker 1: Is the alternative to allow rand to enrich nuclear weapons? 514 00:27:12,680 --> 00:27:16,560 Speaker 1: Is it to have Trump's word mean nothing like? Is 515 00:27:16,560 --> 00:27:19,399 Speaker 1: that your preference? I'm sure it's not, so, then what 516 00:27:19,680 --> 00:27:23,160 Speaker 1: is it? What is the deal that could have taken place? 517 00:27:23,160 --> 00:27:24,919 Speaker 1: And Trump wanted a deal? When I talked to him 518 00:27:25,000 --> 00:27:28,840 Speaker 1: last week, he said I didn't actually take him literally this, 519 00:27:28,920 --> 00:27:30,720 Speaker 1: but he said flat out he thinks there was gonna 520 00:27:30,720 --> 00:27:33,240 Speaker 1: be a deal. I don't think he believed it, but 521 00:27:33,240 --> 00:27:35,280 Speaker 1: he told me that he thought there was gonna be 522 00:27:35,320 --> 00:27:36,680 Speaker 1: a deal, but there was no deal. They haven't moved 523 00:27:36,720 --> 00:27:39,560 Speaker 1: an inch. They're not moving at all. They're intransigent. And 524 00:27:39,600 --> 00:27:42,160 Speaker 1: Trump say if you're gonna be in transigent when I 525 00:27:42,200 --> 00:27:44,560 Speaker 1: say that you've got to do these things, then he's 526 00:27:44,600 --> 00:27:46,640 Speaker 1: gonna drop bombs in your head is what he does. Okay, 527 00:27:46,720 --> 00:27:48,399 Speaker 1: got one more, heg zeth. Let's play cut three. 528 00:27:48,840 --> 00:27:52,200 Speaker 4: Iran had a conventional gun to our head as they 529 00:27:52,240 --> 00:27:55,760 Speaker 4: tried to lie their way to a nuclear bomb. It 530 00:27:55,840 --> 00:28:00,680 Speaker 4: almost worked under Obama and this terrible deal, but not 531 00:28:00,800 --> 00:28:05,480 Speaker 4: under this president. Turns out, the regime who chanted death 532 00:28:05,560 --> 00:28:10,920 Speaker 4: to America and death to Israel was gifted death from 533 00:28:10,960 --> 00:28:16,080 Speaker 4: America and death from Israel. This is not a so 534 00:28:16,200 --> 00:28:21,240 Speaker 4: called regime change war, but the regime sure did change, 535 00:28:22,280 --> 00:28:25,680 Speaker 4: and the world is better off for it. 536 00:28:25,680 --> 00:28:27,040 Speaker 3: It's obviously they're conscious of. 537 00:28:27,040 --> 00:28:29,960 Speaker 1: What we're nervous about is that regime change would be 538 00:28:29,960 --> 00:28:32,840 Speaker 1: great and Iran it would, but it's not America's task 539 00:28:32,920 --> 00:28:34,359 Speaker 1: to do that. And if we're going to do that, 540 00:28:34,400 --> 00:28:36,840 Speaker 1: we're gonna sacrifice blood pressure to do that. Then it's 541 00:28:36,840 --> 00:28:40,479 Speaker 1: going to be politically very not wise. So we would 542 00:28:40,680 --> 00:28:43,000 Speaker 1: like to see it. I would. There's nothing worse than 543 00:28:43,080 --> 00:28:46,320 Speaker 1: I can't imagine something worse, though I did have one 544 00:28:46,360 --> 00:28:48,280 Speaker 1: person who's close to me reach out and say that 545 00:28:48,320 --> 00:28:50,960 Speaker 1: there could be something worse, you could get someone more ideological. 546 00:28:51,880 --> 00:28:54,240 Speaker 1: That seems incredibly far fetched to me. I feel whatever 547 00:28:54,320 --> 00:28:57,120 Speaker 1: is next could be it's probably going to be a 548 00:28:57,160 --> 00:29:00,440 Speaker 1: slight improvement at a minimum, but it's all compact, and 549 00:29:00,480 --> 00:29:02,160 Speaker 1: we have to make sure that we're just merely taking 550 00:29:02,200 --> 00:29:04,040 Speaker 1: up the bad guys and other stuff is just going 551 00:29:04,120 --> 00:29:06,440 Speaker 1: to have to get sorted out on its own. And 552 00:29:06,480 --> 00:29:09,160 Speaker 1: this is where we're looking at. Can the military and 553 00:29:09,200 --> 00:29:12,000 Speaker 1: the people come together on something, because it seems like 554 00:29:12,000 --> 00:29:13,960 Speaker 1: a lot of the people are out in the eyetola, 555 00:29:14,040 --> 00:29:18,560 Speaker 1: but the military still behind them. The President did speak yesterday. 556 00:29:18,680 --> 00:29:20,000 Speaker 1: I got cut nine plase. 557 00:29:21,440 --> 00:29:26,120 Speaker 5: Operation Epic Fury one of the largest, most complex, most 558 00:29:26,840 --> 00:29:31,840 Speaker 5: overwhelming military offensives the world has ever seen. Nobody's seen 559 00:29:31,880 --> 00:29:37,320 Speaker 5: anything like it. We have hit hundreds of targets in Iran, 560 00:29:37,480 --> 00:29:43,680 Speaker 5: including Revolutionary Guard facilities, Iranian air defense systems. Just now 561 00:29:44,520 --> 00:29:47,200 Speaker 5: was announced that we knocked out nine ships plus the 562 00:29:47,480 --> 00:29:55,000 Speaker 5: naval building, all in a matter of literally minutes. Iran's 563 00:29:55,040 --> 00:29:58,960 Speaker 5: formerly supreme leader, Ayatola. 564 00:30:00,000 --> 00:30:01,760 Speaker 3: Ay is dead. 565 00:30:02,240 --> 00:30:05,680 Speaker 5: This wretched and vile man had the blood of hundreds 566 00:30:05,720 --> 00:30:10,400 Speaker 5: and even thousands of Americans on his hands and was 567 00:30:10,480 --> 00:30:15,560 Speaker 5: responsible for the slaughter of countless thousands of innocent people, 568 00:30:15,880 --> 00:30:18,160 Speaker 5: all across many countries. 569 00:30:20,240 --> 00:30:22,520 Speaker 1: So you say in no nation building, he's saying these 570 00:30:22,520 --> 00:30:26,080 Speaker 1: are vile people. Dozens of senior leaders killed in the 571 00:30:26,120 --> 00:30:31,560 Speaker 1: first attack. But there is some real concerns. Three f 572 00:30:31,560 --> 00:30:34,680 Speaker 1: fifteen eagles down in Kuwait. It was apparently a friendly 573 00:30:34,720 --> 00:30:37,200 Speaker 1: fire incident. But this is the sort of thing where 574 00:30:37,240 --> 00:30:40,280 Speaker 1: this sort of chaos doesn't happen until you get into wars. 575 00:30:40,320 --> 00:30:43,280 Speaker 1: The Mike Tyson quote that everyone's got, which is you 576 00:30:43,360 --> 00:30:45,080 Speaker 1: all the plan until you get punched in a face, 577 00:30:45,520 --> 00:30:47,200 Speaker 1: and that's We've got to be worried about here. I'm 578 00:30:47,240 --> 00:30:50,600 Speaker 1: concerned about it, but we're often okay start, pretty good start, 579 00:30:51,040 --> 00:30:54,080 Speaker 1: potentially a w for the world. More to come. But 580 00:30:54,120 --> 00:30:57,280 Speaker 1: I gotta tell you guys. Gold and silver recently soreed 581 00:30:57,320 --> 00:31:00,160 Speaker 1: to record highs and they pulled back. So are precious 582 00:31:00,200 --> 00:31:04,280 Speaker 1: medal still a goodbye? Many Raw Street experts predict higher 583 00:31:04,280 --> 00:31:07,640 Speaker 1: prices ahead. Why because we still have trillions in national debt, 584 00:31:08,080 --> 00:31:11,280 Speaker 1: a declining dollar, an inflation that keeps shrinking our savings. 585 00:31:11,440 --> 00:31:14,640 Speaker 1: Even with connections around the world, corrections around the world, 586 00:31:14,920 --> 00:31:18,080 Speaker 1: gold remains a historical hedge for wealth protection. So why 587 00:31:18,200 --> 00:31:21,040 Speaker 1: Morgan Stanley's chief investment officer, ditch the sixty to forty 588 00:31:21,080 --> 00:31:23,800 Speaker 1: stocks and bonds portfolio and recommend it up to twenty 589 00:31:23,800 --> 00:31:26,760 Speaker 1: percent in precious medals.

Greg Evans, our producer. 602 00:32:02,960 --> 00:32:05,960 Speaker 1: Sean McConnell runs the board. Roger Wickers Junior, Rick Lock, 603 00:32:06,040 --> 00:32:09,440 Speaker 1: Garrett Shlie Matt Sybil Brandon Couples, mister Callahan. I'll pitch 604 00:32:09,480 --> 00:32:12,440 Speaker 1: in and do vital work to keep the show going. 605 00:32:12,800 --> 00:32:14,840 Speaker 1: There is so much going on in the rest of 606 00:32:14,880 --> 00:32:16,160 Speaker 1: the news. I wanted to get into some of the 607 00:32:16,200 --> 00:32:19,280 Speaker 1: stuff with Pentagon's war with Anthropic, which is on the 608 00:32:19,320 --> 00:32:22,560 Speaker 1: top AI providers, and that's going to be a lot 609 00:32:22,600 --> 00:32:24,800 Speaker 1: of drama there for our war fighting in our future. 610 00:32:25,400 --> 00:32:29,800 Speaker 1: And we've got the Netflix basically bowing out of the 611 00:32:30,200 --> 00:32:35,160 Speaker 1: Paramount merger in terms of Warner Brothers, which was great 612 00:32:35,200 --> 00:32:37,960 Speaker 1: news because Netflix, one of the worst corporations in the world, 613 00:32:38,200 --> 00:32:40,920 Speaker 1: is run by one hundred percent left wingers. Paramount run 614 00:32:41,000 --> 00:32:43,800 Speaker 1: by masters of the Universe, the Ellison family, so not 615 00:32:44,120 --> 00:32:46,800 Speaker 1: people that I necessarily ascribe to their entire worldview, but 616 00:32:46,880 --> 00:32:51,280 Speaker 1: clearly an improvement over giving the Warner Brothers properties over 617 00:32:51,400 --> 00:32:54,080 Speaker 1: to Netflix, which would have been made a more left 618 00:32:54,120 --> 00:32:55,840 Speaker 1: wing And by the way, they have chosen Rice on 619 00:32:55,880 --> 00:32:58,720 Speaker 1: their board and they refuse to remove her from the 620 00:32:58,760 --> 00:33:00,800 Speaker 1: board even though the jeopardi as the merger, and they 621 00:33:00,800 --> 00:33:03,240 Speaker 1: still wouldn't do it. Susan Rice was Obama's top national 622 00:33:03,240 --> 00:33:06,360 Speaker 1: security advisor and just one of the most radical left 623 00:33:06,400 --> 00:33:12,080 Speaker 1: wing people in American politics, makestrea American politics period, hugely 624 00:33:12,120 --> 00:33:14,960 Speaker 1: destructive force. Netflix put them put her on their board 625 00:33:15,040 --> 00:33:17,280 Speaker 1: for no reason in particular and wouldn't drop her even 626 00:33:17,320 --> 00:33:20,000 Speaker 1: though it risked the merger. So that means we're going 627 00:33:20,080 --> 00:33:24,120 Speaker 1: to see hopefully some more improvements over at some new 628 00:33:24,200 --> 00:33:27,080 Speaker 1: property CNN. Perhaps maybe see an end can cleanhouse. I 629 00:33:27,160 --> 00:33:30,200 Speaker 1: had a clip of a CBS reporter, this is pretty cool, 630 00:33:30,200 --> 00:33:33,440 Speaker 1: a guy named Vinnie Matderano who is apparently told not 631 00:33:33,640 --> 00:33:36,800 Speaker 1: to report on pro trumperanean rallies. Can we play cut 632 00:33:36,840 --> 00:33:37,680 Speaker 1: eleven guys. 633 00:33:59,400 --> 00:34:00,280 Speaker 3: So you can see. 634 00:34:00,680 --> 00:34:03,360 Speaker 1: It's kind of faint, But they said that they don't 635 00:34:03,640 --> 00:34:07,120 Speaker 1: want meaning whoever is running his local CBS affiliate, they 636 00:34:07,160 --> 00:34:11,520 Speaker 1: don't want us to focus on the pro Trump rallies 637 00:34:11,560 --> 00:34:13,239 Speaker 1: that were going on. These popped up a lot, which 638 00:34:13,280 --> 00:34:15,040 Speaker 1: is a massive one in my neck of the woods 639 00:34:15,080 --> 00:34:17,239 Speaker 1: in LA. And he says, all right, well I am, 640 00:34:17,680 --> 00:34:19,719 Speaker 1: and now I'll tell you these rallies it's great. 641 00:34:19,800 --> 00:34:20,600 Speaker 3: I love the energy. 642 00:34:21,200 --> 00:34:23,120 Speaker 1: I don't want us to be lulled into because we're 643 00:34:23,160 --> 00:34:26,800 Speaker 1: seeing rallies for President Trump's side, that this means that 644 00:34:26,880 --> 00:34:28,600 Speaker 1: this is going to be some sort of a massive 645 00:34:28,600 --> 00:34:32,160 Speaker 1: electoral win, great political coup. We don't know that yet, 646 00:34:32,480 --> 00:34:35,000 Speaker 1: but it's nice to see that some reporters are just 647 00:34:35,080 --> 00:34:37,920 Speaker 1: not going to take the word of their bosses that 648 00:34:38,000 --> 00:34:40,239 Speaker 1: you cannot report on things that are favorable to President Trump, 649 00:34:40,280 --> 00:34:41,960 Speaker 1: because you do see a lot of the media's role 650 00:34:42,320 --> 00:34:44,080 Speaker 1: is just to point out all the horrible things that 651 00:34:44,160 --> 00:34:46,800 Speaker 1: Trump has done. There's still so much going on that 652 00:34:47,000 --> 00:34:48,799 Speaker 1: is out there. I recommend you going to brightboart dot 653 00:34:48,840 --> 00:34:51,640 Speaker 1: com all day throughout the course of the day because 654 00:34:51,800 --> 00:34:54,920 Speaker 1: there's so many developing situations right now. A couple of 655 00:34:54,960 --> 00:34:57,120 Speaker 1: the ones I want to highlight Saudi Arabia shut down 656 00:34:57,160 --> 00:34:59,759 Speaker 1: their largest refinery, which is of course going to cause 657 00:35:00,120 --> 00:35:04,239 Speaker 1: price spikes for a lot of insecurity for energy. How 658 00:35:04,320 --> 00:35:06,520 Speaker 1: long does it shut down could be a couple of days. 659 00:35:06,640 --> 00:35:08,440 Speaker 1: But this is where a ron's going to have proxies 660 00:35:08,480 --> 00:35:09,759 Speaker 1: that are going to make attacks. They're going to try 661 00:35:09,760 --> 00:35:12,800 Speaker 1: to take refineries offline. Ability for people to get energy, 662 00:35:13,040 --> 00:35:15,040 Speaker 1: that's going to be a big thing Senate's going to 663 00:35:15,080 --> 00:35:17,400 Speaker 1: mean in a War Powers resolution. Now, the War Powers 664 00:35:17,440 --> 00:35:19,600 Speaker 1: Act has become a huge joke in this country, and 665 00:35:19,840 --> 00:35:21,360 Speaker 1: I'll try to when we get some time talk to 666 00:35:21,480 --> 00:35:24,680 Speaker 1: some legal scholars about I think Trump's on good footing here, 667 00:35:24,880 --> 00:35:30,000 Speaker 1: especially considering all the droning that Obama did. The Congress 668 00:35:30,040 --> 00:35:33,799 Speaker 1: has been powerless to stop presidents from engaging in warlike 669 00:35:33,920 --> 00:35:36,520 Speaker 1: behavior without a declaration of war. We've never had a 670 00:35:36,560 --> 00:35:38,960 Speaker 1: declaration of war in my lifetime, but this is going 671 00:35:39,040 --> 00:35:41,040 Speaker 1: to be a mechanism that the Congress is going to 672 00:35:41,120 --> 00:35:43,279 Speaker 1: use to try to make it seem like Trump is 673 00:35:43,400 --> 00:35:46,520 Speaker 1: operating unlawfully, and no doubt we'll start some sort of 674 00:35:46,640 --> 00:35:50,879 Speaker 1: impeachment proceedings. As I noted earlier, Trump is saying most 675 00:35:50,960 --> 00:35:57,120 Speaker 1: of the potential successors were already killed in this initial attack. 676 00:35:57,800 --> 00:35:59,640 Speaker 1: This did come up when I spent time with the 677 00:35:59,640 --> 00:36:02,600 Speaker 1: president last week. Do you know what will come next 678 00:36:02,840 --> 00:36:05,680 Speaker 1: if the eye tolls get taken out? And he gave 679 00:36:05,719 --> 00:36:08,400 Speaker 1: me literally nothing. He gave me no useful information on it, 680 00:36:08,440 --> 00:36:11,720 Speaker 1: which I thought was noteworthy. So that is a continues 681 00:36:11,760 --> 00:36:14,440 Speaker 1: to be a big, open ended question. We're getting the 682 00:36:14,480 --> 00:36:17,440 Speaker 1: requisite stupid responses from Hollywood. I've set some of them aside. 683 00:36:17,480 --> 00:36:19,920 Speaker 1: I didn't get around to talk to playing any of 684 00:36:19,960 --> 00:36:21,760 Speaker 1: them today, but we will get to those. 685 00:36:21,840 --> 00:36:22,400 Speaker 3: In the future. 686 00:36:22,760 --> 00:36:24,440 Speaker 1: And let's see if there are any sleeper sales to 687 00:36:24,440 --> 00:36:27,359 Speaker 1: get awaken. I don't love sleeper seale content because it's 688 00:36:27,400 --> 00:36:29,359 Speaker 1: just a way to fear monger. But we did see 689 00:36:30,080 --> 00:36:34,360 Speaker 1: a Austin mass shooter had an Iranian flag, photos of 690 00:36:34,400 --> 00:36:37,320 Speaker 1: top Iranian leaders, and the property of a law hoodie. 691 00:36:37,400 --> 00:36:39,600 Speaker 1: This is a big story. Also over the weekend that 692 00:36:39,680 --> 00:36:41,800 Speaker 1: kind of got overwhelmed. But this is one of the 693 00:36:41,840 --> 00:36:43,800 Speaker 1: things that we have to track is what will be 694 00:36:43,920 --> 00:36:47,040 Speaker 1: the downstream consequences, what will be the biggest things that 695 00:36:47,239 --> 00:36:50,239 Speaker 1: happen next because of these attacks. And we can't live 696 00:36:50,280 --> 00:36:52,200 Speaker 1: in fear of terrorists around the world. We have to 697 00:36:52,239 --> 00:36:54,640 Speaker 1: take them out. We can't let them control much of 698 00:36:54,719 --> 00:36:57,759 Speaker 1: our lives. But what is imperative here is understand that 699 00:36:57,880 --> 00:37:01,120 Speaker 1: this is the this is the beginning of, hopefully the 700 00:37:01,320 --> 00:37:04,280 Speaker 1: end for the eye tolls for the current Iranian regime, 701 00:37:04,560 --> 00:37:07,040 Speaker 1: and we see something take its place that is superior, 702 00:37:07,120 --> 00:37:09,279 Speaker 1: that makes the world a safer place and gives Trump 703 00:37:09,280 --> 00:37:11,880 Speaker 1: and I victory. But we're not done yet. This is 704 00:37:12,440 --> 00:37:14,960 Speaker 1: ongoing and there's going to be a lot of back 705 00:37:15,000 --> 00:37:17,160 Speaker 1: and forth has taken place. And besides, we have lost 706 00:37:17,200 --> 00:37:19,839 Speaker 1: four American service members, and God rest our souls. They'll 707 00:37:19,880 --> 00:37:22,120 Speaker 1: all begin in the medal of honor from the President. 708 00:37:22,200 --> 00:37:23,600 Speaker 1: I believe today and. 709 00:37:23,640 --> 00:37:25,640 Speaker 3: That's all the time we got for today. Go in peace, 710 00:37:25,680 --> 00:37:26,480 Speaker 3: love and serve the Lord
