I'm a little more sober today than usual, 3 00:00:08,440 --> 00:00:11,799 Speaker 1: not that I drink, but we're on the eve of war, 4 00:00:12,440 --> 00:00:14,400 Speaker 1: and I don't think there's any other conclusion that we 5 00:00:14,440 --> 00:00:18,480 Speaker 1: can draw. Now. You probably know me as a senior 6 00:00:18,480 --> 00:00:23,279 Speaker 1: commnist of town Hall, former Los Angeles trial lawyer, but 7 00:00:23,320 --> 00:00:28,920 Speaker 1: I was also a colonel for almost thirty years, active 8 00:00:28,920 --> 00:00:34,360 Speaker 1: in reserve, in the infantry and serving in other capacities. 9 00:00:35,440 --> 00:00:39,600 Speaker 1: And thirty five years ago right now, about three days 10 00:00:39,640 --> 00:00:44,080 Speaker 1: off February twenty four, nineteen ninety one, I was a 11 00:00:44,120 --> 00:00:48,400 Speaker 1: young platoon leader in the Persian Gulf.

My platoon was supporting it. 13 00:00:52,880 --> 00:00:56,000 Speaker 1: But I knew what was going to happen that night 14 00:00:56,760 --> 00:00:59,880 Speaker 1: because I had seen the Desert Storm war plan lying 15 00:01:00,080 --> 00:01:06,880 Speaker 1: on a table secret. I start looking through it and 16 00:01:06,920 --> 00:01:08,440 Speaker 1: I knew what was supposed to happen. I knew what 17 00:01:08,480 --> 00:01:10,200 Speaker 1: my platoon was supposed to do, and I knew what 18 00:01:10,280 --> 00:01:12,040 Speaker 1: was supposed to happen to the unit I was going 19 00:01:12,040 --> 00:01:17,959 Speaker 1: to be working with and on the twenty third of February, 20 00:01:19,319 --> 00:01:22,800 Speaker 1: like those young men and women who are now around Iran. 21 00:01:23,920 --> 00:01:29,160 Speaker 1: I went to work, I got my platoon, we checked 22 00:01:29,160 --> 00:01:32,120 Speaker 1: our weapons, checked our equipment, got everything ready. We were 23 00:01:32,160 --> 00:01:37,600 Speaker 1: ready to roll when called. And then we went to 24 00:01:37,640 --> 00:01:43,560 Speaker 1: bed and at o dark thirty phone rings answer ted 25 00:01:43,600 --> 00:01:52,200 Speaker 1: schlecktter first platoon or fourth platoon, and they said, uh 26 00:01:52,320 --> 00:01:56,160 Speaker 1: the uh the ground war has started. You know what 27 00:01:56,200 --> 00:02:00,000 Speaker 1: you need to do. And we did it. We got 28 00:02:00,080 --> 00:02:08,079 Speaker 1: ready and yeah. The interesting thing was we knew what 29 00:02:08,120 --> 00:02:10,120 Speaker 1: we were going to do, much like those guys in 30 00:02:10,120 --> 00:02:15,800 Speaker 1: Iran could be dangerous. The job that my unit had 31 00:02:16,840 --> 00:02:21,040 Speaker 1: involved chemical weapons, which we expected to be used. Thankfully 32 00:02:21,080 --> 00:02:26,600 Speaker 1: they weren't. I remember, as a lieutenant, I had twenty 33 00:02:26,639 --> 00:02:33,160 Speaker 1: three folks, ten vehicles, lots of guns, and I remember 34 00:02:33,280 --> 00:02:38,200 Speaker 1: I personally wasn't afraid for myself. It never occurred to 35 00:02:38,240 --> 00:02:41,679 Speaker 1: me I could get killed. I was terrified I was 36 00:02:41,720 --> 00:02:43,519 Speaker 1: going to do something stupid that would get while my 37 00:02:43,639 --> 00:02:47,400 Speaker 1: men killed.

Let me give you a 45 00:03:26,400 --> 00:03:28,920 Speaker 1: cut number one from our president and commander in chief. 46 00:03:29,040 --> 00:03:29,639 Speaker 2: If they're a. 47 00:03:29,720 --> 00:03:34,440 Speaker 3: Risk, then rice good turn into a long drawn out box. 48 00:03:34,520 --> 00:03:36,520 Speaker 1: To the Middle East. I guess you could say, there's 49 00:03:36,520 --> 00:03:38,440 Speaker 1: always a risk, you know, when there's war. There's a 50 00:03:38,520 --> 00:03:40,280 Speaker 1: risk in anything, both good and bad. 51 00:03:41,360 --> 00:03:47,200 Speaker 3: We've had tremendous luck with myself, a solomony albag Daddy. 52 00:03:47,280 --> 00:03:49,560 Speaker 1: Everything's worked out and then we do the mid Night 53 00:03:49,680 --> 00:03:50,840 Speaker 1: Hammer and. 54 00:03:51,000 --> 00:03:51,840 Speaker 4: So many others. 55 00:03:51,920 --> 00:03:54,119 Speaker 1: Everything's worked out and we want to keep it that way. 56 00:03:54,160 --> 00:03:57,440 Speaker 1: But we're gonna say, look, it'd be wonderful if the 57 00:03:57,640 --> 00:04:02,200 Speaker 1: negotiates in good conscious, good faith in guns. 58 00:04:02,520 --> 00:04:05,440 Speaker 4: But they they are not getting. 59 00:04:05,160 --> 00:04:11,800 Speaker 1: The more from President Trump again, our commander in chief, 60 00:04:12,440 --> 00:04:16,120 Speaker 1: the guy who the guy who makes the call cut 61 00:04:16,200 --> 00:04:18,679 Speaker 1: number two told you. 62 00:04:18,520 --> 00:04:22,280 Speaker 3: That if you use the military now that there will 63 00:04:22,360 --> 00:04:27,880 Speaker 3: be regimes being right away.

And my hope is that 150 00:10:30,600 --> 00:10:35,880 Speaker 2: the target list includes Iyatola, Ali Khamene and senior regime 151 00:10:35,880 --> 00:10:40,960 Speaker 2: officials in such a way that if you believe, as 152 00:10:41,040 --> 00:10:44,880 Speaker 2: Kareem Sagobor has said, it's twenty percent zealots and eighty 153 00:10:44,920 --> 00:10:51,120 Speaker 2: percent corrupt opportunists. I want the corrupt opportunists to be 154 00:10:51,200 --> 00:10:55,120 Speaker 2: scurrying rats from a sinking ship because they know that 155 00:10:55,760 --> 00:11:00,960 Speaker 2: the other true believers have have been taken out by 156 00:11:01,880 --> 00:11:03,439 Speaker 2: American airpower. 157 00:11:03,600 --> 00:11:06,360 Speaker 1: I couldn't agree with you more. As I mentioned in 158 00:11:06,400 --> 00:11:12,160 Speaker 1: the opening segment, I would expect that certain folks who 159 00:11:12,160 --> 00:11:17,360 Speaker 1: have been previously identified as open to saving their lives 160 00:11:17,360 --> 00:11:19,760 Speaker 1: are going to get a phone call from an unknown 161 00:11:19,840 --> 00:11:24,200 Speaker 1: number that presents them with a stark choice and a 162 00:11:24,360 --> 00:11:28,400 Speaker 1: very short fuse to make that choice. I think we're 163 00:11:28,440 --> 00:11:32,400 Speaker 1: going to look. You know, sun Sou talks about what 164 00:11:32,440 --> 00:11:35,880 Speaker 1: you see and what you don't see, and the Iranians 165 00:11:35,880 --> 00:11:38,920 Speaker 1: are no doubt as most of our media is focusing 166 00:11:39,000 --> 00:11:41,080 Speaker 1: on what we see, a lot of airplanes, a lot 167 00:11:41,080 --> 00:11:44,520 Speaker 1: of ships. What don't we see, what's happening in the background, 168 00:11:45,160 --> 00:11:49,040 Speaker 1: A lot of electronic things, a lot of information operations, 169 00:11:50,000 --> 00:11:53,839 Speaker 1: a lot of human intelligence information. I don't want to 170 00:11:53,880 --> 00:11:56,959 Speaker 1: be too specific, but there's a lot going on right now, 171 00:11:57,360 --> 00:12:00,400 Speaker 1: and I think we have a especially working with our 172 00:12:00,400 --> 00:12:03,120 Speaker 1: Israeli friends, I think we have a real chance of 173 00:12:03,160 --> 00:12:09,319 Speaker 1: overthrowing this bloody, murderous theocracy that's killed or maimed thousands 174 00:12:09,360 --> 00:12:13,040 Speaker 1: of Americans and substituting in something that maybe isn't perfect, 175 00:12:13,360 --> 00:12:15,560 Speaker 1: but at least doesn't want to murder us all. 176 00:12:16,800 --> 00:12:17,160 Speaker 7: Yeah. 177 00:12:17,280 --> 00:12:19,880 Speaker 2: I want to address something though, that is related to 178 00:12:19,920 --> 00:12:23,359 Speaker 2: all of this, because you've seen the last minute push 179 00:12:24,000 --> 00:12:29,880 Speaker 2: from the American neutralists, and we all know who I'm 180 00:12:29,920 --> 00:12:32,320 Speaker 2: talking about. I think the leader is Tucker Carlson. But 181 00:12:33,000 --> 00:12:36,880 Speaker 2: we've now seen this argument that Trump is under enormous 182 00:12:36,880 --> 00:12:40,160 Speaker 2: pressure from Benjamin Nenyawho, the Prime Minister of Israel, and 183 00:12:40,320 --> 00:12:43,960 Speaker 2: other prominent Jewish pro Israel Americans and he may not 184 00:12:44,000 --> 00:12:46,160 Speaker 2: be able to resist the pressure. The framing of this 185 00:12:46,400 --> 00:12:50,600 Speaker 2: as if Trump is some sort of weakling who is 186 00:12:50,720 --> 00:12:55,800 Speaker 2: pushed around by foreign leaders and other prominent figures in 187 00:12:55,840 --> 00:13:00,880 Speaker 2: the media is absurd, and in my I think it 188 00:13:00,920 --> 00:13:04,720 Speaker 2: needs to be called out, starting with the right, because 189 00:13:05,640 --> 00:13:08,440 Speaker 2: as you laid out in that opening segment. There is 190 00:13:08,480 --> 00:13:13,680 Speaker 2: a long bill that is due from these absolute killers, 191 00:13:14,160 --> 00:13:16,640 Speaker 2: going back to nineteen seventy nine in the Islamic Revolution 192 00:13:17,080 --> 00:13:19,839 Speaker 2: when they took our embassy hostage for four hundred and 193 00:13:19,920 --> 00:13:24,000 Speaker 2: forty four days. Whether it's the marine barracks in outside 194 00:13:24,040 --> 00:13:28,640 Speaker 2: of Beirut, or Kobar Towers in Saudi Arabia, or the 195 00:13:28,720 --> 00:13:33,320 Speaker 2: roadside bombs that killed and named thousands in Afghanistan and Iraq, 196 00:13:34,000 --> 00:13:38,880 Speaker 2: or more recently, the assassination attempts against President Trump and 197 00:13:39,120 --> 00:13:42,720 Speaker 2: other prominent Iranian Americans in our country. 198 00:13:43,640 --> 00:13:46,040 Speaker 7: These rogues need to go. 199 00:13:46,920 --> 00:13:51,120 Speaker 2: All of that context is wiped away because a certain 200 00:13:51,240 --> 00:13:54,280 Speaker 2: segment of the left and a certain segment of the 201 00:13:54,360 --> 00:13:56,640 Speaker 2: right want to say it's a war for Israel. 202 00:13:56,840 --> 00:13:58,920 Speaker 7: Shame on them. I just wanted to get it out there. 203 00:13:59,000 --> 00:14:02,720 Speaker 1: Well, Eli, you are absolutely right. There is nobody who 204 00:14:02,760 --> 00:14:07,040 Speaker 1: is going to confuse me with a moderate U. There 205 00:14:07,120 --> 00:14:10,920 Speaker 1: is nobody who is going to confuse me with someone 206 00:14:10,960 --> 00:14:13,240 Speaker 1: who does not back up our president and what he 207 00:14:13,320 --> 00:14:16,600 Speaker 1: stands for. But let me tell you something. I didn't 208 00:14:16,640 --> 00:14:20,400 Speaker 1: sign up for an America first, that lets a bunch 209 00:14:20,400 --> 00:14:26,600 Speaker 1: of seventh century set religious fanatics murder Americans. I was 210 00:14:26,640 --> 00:14:28,400 Speaker 1: talking to a friend of mine the other day, a 211 00:14:28,400 --> 00:14:32,040 Speaker 1: former Namy seal, and I mentioned Iran and he pauses, 212 00:14:32,240 --> 00:14:35,440 Speaker 1: and he said, they killed three of my friends. 213 00:14:36,000 --> 00:14:36,200 Speaker 8: Right. 214 00:14:36,840 --> 00:14:40,400 Speaker 1: No, no, you don't get to kill Americans. You don't 215 00:14:40,440 --> 00:14:43,520 Speaker 1: get to look at Americans, you don't get to touch Americans. 216 00:14:44,040 --> 00:14:48,160 Speaker 1: You do it, you die. The Romans had the right idea, 217 00:14:48,680 --> 00:14:54,040 Speaker 1: the idea that the notion that we're somehow morally morally 218 00:14:54,120 --> 00:14:59,360 Speaker 1: obligated to let these barbarians murder Americans, to threaten Americans 219 00:14:59,440 --> 00:15:02,920 Speaker 1: and our friends. Oh and the idea that Donald Trump's 220 00:15:02,920 --> 00:15:06,560 Speaker 1: getting pushed around by anybody. Oh you are who's calling? 221 00:15:06,960 --> 00:15:07,240 Speaker 7: What? 222 00:15:07,240 --> 00:15:10,680 Speaker 1: What do? No, never gonna happen. The fact that it's 223 00:15:10,720 --> 00:15:14,480 Speaker 1: going to help Israel, our friend who has stood behind 224 00:15:14,600 --> 00:15:20,120 Speaker 1: beside us, is called is what we call a fringe benefit. No, no, no, 225 00:15:20,320 --> 00:15:24,520 Speaker 1: this is a fight between the United States and the 226 00:15:24,560 --> 00:15:29,960 Speaker 1: bastards in robes who've killed our people. They're gonna pay, 227 00:15:30,200 --> 00:15:34,560 Speaker 1: and they damn well and it's damn well overdue. 228 00:15:34,800 --> 00:15:37,160 Speaker 2: And we have an opportunity because we have we've seen, 229 00:15:37,280 --> 00:15:45,040 Speaker 2: even despite the absolute carnage. The Charnel House crackdown in 230 00:15:45,200 --> 00:15:50,920 Speaker 2: January against the demonstrators they're still out forty days after 231 00:15:51,640 --> 00:15:57,080 Speaker 2: the murders to commemorate the fallen martyrs. That is the same. 232 00:15:57,160 --> 00:16:00,000 Speaker 2: By the way, similar thing happened in nineteen seventy nine. 233 00:16:00,040 --> 00:16:01,760 Speaker 2: We're talking about the revolution. There are a lot of 234 00:16:01,800 --> 00:16:05,000 Speaker 2: differences now, but I mean the eye, we've got the 235 00:16:05,000 --> 00:16:09,800 Speaker 2: Iranian people on our side, and secretly, even though I mean, 236 00:16:10,320 --> 00:16:12,680 Speaker 2: I have to say it's not been a profile encourriage 237 00:16:12,680 --> 00:16:15,440 Speaker 2: from the Saudis, the Saudis quietly are saying you got 238 00:16:15,480 --> 00:16:17,760 Speaker 2: to do something, you got to finish the job. And 239 00:16:17,800 --> 00:16:21,160 Speaker 2: Trump understands this stuff instinctively at this point, but there 240 00:16:21,200 --> 00:16:24,920 Speaker 2: it will be an effort. You're already seeing it right now. 241 00:16:24,920 --> 00:16:28,280 Speaker 2: This is the messaging you're seeing right now, which is it's, uh, 242 00:16:28,560 --> 00:16:33,600 Speaker 2: you know, we've been coerced or bullied into fighting Israel's war. 243 00:16:33,720 --> 00:16:37,520 Speaker 2: It's absolutely it's our war. They've killed, they've as you 244 00:16:37,560 --> 00:16:39,000 Speaker 2: point out, they have killed Americans. 245 00:16:39,040 --> 00:16:41,240 Speaker 7: They do not get You don't get to pass for that. 246 00:16:41,720 --> 00:16:43,920 Speaker 2: And I think I want to just make this clear. 247 00:16:44,200 --> 00:16:46,560 Speaker 2: I think that you know, for the most part, Trump 248 00:16:46,640 --> 00:16:48,040 Speaker 2: on foreign policy has been very good. 249 00:16:48,080 --> 00:16:48,920 Speaker 7: I've been supportive. 250 00:16:49,400 --> 00:16:53,720 Speaker 2: There was a mistake though, in pursuing negotiations because it 251 00:16:53,840 --> 00:16:57,360 Speaker 2: gave the impression to others that this was a normal country. 252 00:16:57,400 --> 00:17:00,000 Speaker 2: You could sit down and negotiate with what we were negotia. 253 00:17:00,320 --> 00:17:02,400 Speaker 2: By the way, we've already I mean, what was the 254 00:17:02,440 --> 00:17:04,040 Speaker 2: point of the ghosties. And by the way, they proved 255 00:17:04,040 --> 00:17:06,639 Speaker 2: this right. They're not gonna They're not gonna do anything substantively. 256 00:17:06,800 --> 00:17:09,640 Speaker 2: But I just wouldn't have given them even that iota 257 00:17:10,119 --> 00:17:13,360 Speaker 2: of legitimacy because they're The point is is that they 258 00:17:13,400 --> 00:17:13,800 Speaker 2: got to go. 259 00:17:14,080 --> 00:17:16,960 Speaker 1: I think, uh, I think Donald Trump was providing cover 260 00:17:17,200 --> 00:17:19,840 Speaker 1: for himself by saying I tried and I told him. 261 00:17:20,080 --> 00:17:22,360 Speaker 1: I gave him a chance, and they didn't take it. 262 00:17:22,600 --> 00:17:26,679 Speaker 1: But you know, these are psych can't help themselves. They 263 00:17:26,680 --> 00:17:30,280 Speaker 1: can't help me. These are psychotics. The Shaws Savac was 264 00:17:30,760 --> 00:17:33,679 Speaker 1: nowhere near as brutal and bloody as the IRG. 265 00:17:34,760 --> 00:17:36,000 Speaker 7: I'm so glad you said that. 266 00:17:36,760 --> 00:17:41,399 Speaker 1: Yes, they must be stopped. It's time to finish the job. 267 00:17:41,960 --> 00:17:46,000 Speaker 1: Get it done, mister President. Real patriots, real American pursuers 268 00:17:46,240 --> 00:17:50,040 Speaker 1: support you and our troops one hundred percent. I'm Colonel 269 00:17:50,119 --> 00:17:52,200 Speaker 1: Kurt Schlicker. This is the U Hewitt Show. 270 00:17:52,480 --> 00:18:10,320 Speaker 6: Don't show. 271 00:18:03,720 --> 00:18:06,400 Speaker 1: By Colonel Kirk Schlicker back guest hosting on The Hugh 272 00:18:06,440 --> 00:18:09,320 Speaker 1: Hewitt Show. And of course that's the Red Rockers version 273 00:18:09,400 --> 00:18:12,280 Speaker 1: of Eve of Destruction, and God willing, it's the Eve 274 00:18:12,320 --> 00:18:16,280 Speaker 1: of destruction for that poisonous theocracy in Tehran. It's time 275 00:18:16,359 --> 00:18:21,320 Speaker 1: to pay you bastards. Anyway, we're enjoined by Matt Continetti, 276 00:18:21,400 --> 00:18:25,040 Speaker 1: AI senior fellow Wall Street Journal columnists follow him at 277 00:18:25,119 --> 00:18:27,120 Speaker 1: Continetti Welcome to the Hugh Hewitt Show. 278 00:18:28,480 --> 00:18:30,280 Speaker 7: Thanks for having me. Great to be here. 279 00:18:30,400 --> 00:18:33,760 Speaker 1: Well, I think I made my position on the coming 280 00:18:35,359 --> 00:18:41,080 Speaker 1: Iatola apocalypse very very clear. What do you all think? 281 00:18:41,760 --> 00:18:44,119 Speaker 9: Well, I think we're reaching a moment of decision for 282 00:18:44,200 --> 00:18:47,160 Speaker 9: President Trump. He said that help was on the way 283 00:18:47,320 --> 00:18:50,720 Speaker 9: in January when the Iranian regime was massacring ats some 284 00:18:50,880 --> 00:18:53,879 Speaker 9: people who were protesting in the streets, and now the 285 00:18:53,920 --> 00:18:57,600 Speaker 9: help has arrived. We have two aircraft carrier groups in 286 00:18:57,640 --> 00:19:00,800 Speaker 9: the region, including the world's largest air craft carrier, the 287 00:19:01,119 --> 00:19:06,280 Speaker 9: Gerald Ford. We have numerous dozens of fighter aircraft in 288 00:19:06,320 --> 00:19:11,240 Speaker 9: the region. We have intelligence aircraft with communications beginning to 289 00:19:11,280 --> 00:19:16,080 Speaker 9: get signals from embassies and other installations in the region 290 00:19:16,200 --> 00:19:20,280 Speaker 9: that non essential personnel should be leaving. So I think 291 00:19:20,600 --> 00:19:24,040 Speaker 9: we're in the final stage now of President Trump making 292 00:19:24,080 --> 00:19:28,119 Speaker 9: good on enforcing the red lines he's drawn against the 293 00:19:28,160 --> 00:19:33,440 Speaker 9: Iranian regime. He's drawn red lines against uranium enrichmentd He's 294 00:19:33,520 --> 00:19:37,880 Speaker 9: drawn red lines against their missile program. He draw red 295 00:19:37,920 --> 00:19:42,200 Speaker 9: lines against their support for terrorist proxies throughout the region. 296 00:19:42,840 --> 00:19:44,640 Speaker 7: And then he also drew a red. 297 00:19:44,480 --> 00:19:49,800 Speaker 9: Line against their oppression, against their murder of its own citizenry. 298 00:19:50,480 --> 00:19:54,239 Speaker 9: And now I think it's about time where he's going 299 00:19:54,320 --> 00:19:58,320 Speaker 9: to give the order to our forces to enforce those 300 00:19:58,359 --> 00:19:58,960 Speaker 9: red lines. 301 00:19:59,359 --> 00:20:03,960 Speaker 1: Well, look, you have a litany of wrongs that these 302 00:20:03,960 --> 00:20:07,240 Speaker 1: people have inflicted on us, our allies, and the world. 303 00:20:07,920 --> 00:20:10,639 Speaker 1: But at the end of the day, these people have 304 00:20:10,720 --> 00:20:15,480 Speaker 1: spent forty five years waging war against us. As Senator 305 00:20:15,560 --> 00:20:19,000 Speaker 1: Kennedy from Louisiana said when he kind of dropped the 306 00:20:19,000 --> 00:20:22,520 Speaker 1: aus Shucks Act on the floor and basically said, we 307 00:20:22,600 --> 00:20:26,200 Speaker 1: are not starting a war. We're going to finish a war. 308 00:20:26,920 --> 00:20:30,560 Speaker 1: And that's what the United States is going to do, 309 00:20:30,920 --> 00:20:34,639 Speaker 1: hopefully with the assistance of Israel and the assistance of 310 00:20:34,720 --> 00:20:40,640 Speaker 1: many Arab allies who are cheering the thought silently covertly, 311 00:20:41,520 --> 00:20:48,000 Speaker 1: the thought of finally getting rid of this sociopathic, apocalyptic 312 00:20:48,080 --> 00:20:52,080 Speaker 1: regime and personally I think it's long overdue. 313 00:20:53,320 --> 00:20:55,919 Speaker 9: I think you make a great point about the allies, 314 00:20:56,640 --> 00:20:59,120 Speaker 9: you know, just think of it. This week, the Prime 315 00:20:59,160 --> 00:21:03,440 Speaker 9: Minister of India, Neuendra Modi, leader of the world's largest democracy, 316 00:21:04,080 --> 00:21:08,000 Speaker 9: visited the State of Israel and gave a speech to 317 00:21:08,359 --> 00:21:11,639 Speaker 9: the Israeli parliament, the Knesset, where he talked about the 318 00:21:11,680 --> 00:21:16,400 Speaker 9: strategic partnership between the world's largest democracy and the State 319 00:21:16,440 --> 00:21:19,840 Speaker 9: of Israel, this tiny sliver of land, about twelve million 320 00:21:19,880 --> 00:21:24,160 Speaker 9: people there, and how important that relationship was. Who's going 321 00:21:24,200 --> 00:21:30,000 Speaker 9: to Tehran saying how much they support the Molocracy, is China. 322 00:21:30,119 --> 00:21:35,720 Speaker 9: They're distancing themselves, is Russia. Putin is distancing himself. So 323 00:21:35,800 --> 00:21:39,720 Speaker 9: the Americans and the Israelis have allies and partners, and 324 00:21:39,920 --> 00:21:44,359 Speaker 9: while the Iranians, the Mollahs, the fundamentalists, the terrorists, they 325 00:21:44,400 --> 00:21:47,880 Speaker 9: are isolated. And I think that speaks volumes about who 326 00:21:47,920 --> 00:21:51,080 Speaker 9: is in the right in this conflict. And you're also 327 00:21:51,119 --> 00:21:55,879 Speaker 9: absolutely correct to say that this isn't some attack that 328 00:21:56,040 --> 00:21:59,600 Speaker 9: comes out of nowhere. This regime, since it came to 329 00:21:59,640 --> 00:22:03,199 Speaker 9: power in nineteen seventy nine, has been waging war against 330 00:22:03,240 --> 00:22:06,159 Speaker 9: what it calls the Great Satan, the United States and 331 00:22:06,160 --> 00:22:08,760 Speaker 9: what it calls the Little Satan, the state of Israel. 332 00:22:09,280 --> 00:22:13,080 Speaker 9: It has killed our troops in Lebanon, in Iraq, it 333 00:22:13,119 --> 00:22:17,880 Speaker 9: has killed American citizens and terrorist plots throughout the world. 334 00:22:18,480 --> 00:22:21,320 Speaker 9: We know that it has conspired to kill President Trump, 335 00:22:22,240 --> 00:22:26,760 Speaker 9: and it has violated all standards when you talk about 336 00:22:27,960 --> 00:22:32,200 Speaker 9: its nuclear infrastructure, its support for the proxies. It attacked 337 00:22:32,240 --> 00:22:36,159 Speaker 9: Israel in the missile attack into twenty twenty four. It 338 00:22:36,240 --> 00:22:39,960 Speaker 9: was unprovoked. So this conflict has been going on for 339 00:22:40,000 --> 00:22:42,560 Speaker 9: almost a half century. And when I think what President 340 00:22:42,600 --> 00:22:46,040 Speaker 9: Trump is going to do if he strikes Iran, is 341 00:22:46,080 --> 00:22:51,000 Speaker 9: he is going to attack the apparatus of repression, the institutions, 342 00:22:51,400 --> 00:22:56,040 Speaker 9: the militias, the terrorist IRGC that really do oppress the 343 00:22:56,520 --> 00:23:01,520 Speaker 9: Iranian people. And then he's going to say, Iranian people, 344 00:23:01,720 --> 00:23:05,480 Speaker 9: who have no confidence in this illegitimate regime, now it's 345 00:23:05,520 --> 00:23:08,159 Speaker 9: your turn. We said help was on the way. You 346 00:23:08,280 --> 00:23:11,520 Speaker 9: have to finish the job. You have to change the 347 00:23:11,600 --> 00:23:15,359 Speaker 9: form of government there. Maybe it won't be democracy immediately, 348 00:23:16,000 --> 00:23:18,399 Speaker 9: but it will be some type of government that was 349 00:23:18,480 --> 00:23:22,320 Speaker 9: actually going to work with America, that's going to obey 350 00:23:22,359 --> 00:23:24,800 Speaker 9: the red lines and make the world a much safer place. 351 00:23:24,960 --> 00:23:28,399 Speaker 1: Well, Matt Contenety Ai, senior fellow Wall Street Journal columnist. 352 00:23:29,000 --> 00:23:31,120 Speaker 1: I'd like to keep you over the break and talk 353 00:23:31,160 --> 00:23:33,120 Speaker 1: to you a little more about this and the state 354 00:23:33,160 --> 00:23:35,280 Speaker 1: of the Union. Here on the Hugh Hewitt Show. I'm 355 00:23:35,280 --> 00:23:46,800 Speaker 1: Gusto's Colonel kirch Schlichter. We're back on a here, huge show. 356 00:23:46,800 --> 00:23:49,959 Speaker 1: I guess it's kerch schliter and once again joined by 357 00:23:49,960 --> 00:23:53,600 Speaker 1: Matt Cottenetty AEI, senior fellow Wall Street Journal columnists. You 358 00:23:53,600 --> 00:23:56,520 Speaker 1: can follow them at continetti spelled just like it sounds 359 00:23:57,080 --> 00:24:01,879 Speaker 1: on the X machine. Matt, let me let me just 360 00:24:01,960 --> 00:24:04,200 Speaker 1: go back to the well on Iran for a mimute 361 00:24:04,200 --> 00:24:06,640 Speaker 1: before we moved to the state of the Union and 362 00:24:07,720 --> 00:24:12,119 Speaker 1: the resulting controversies. What I'm seeing here is the Domino 363 00:24:12,240 --> 00:24:18,240 Speaker 1: effect in action. We saw Venezuela fall, Iran may fall. 364 00:24:18,880 --> 00:24:24,280 Speaker 1: I think it's likely to Cuba is now treading water 365 00:24:24,359 --> 00:24:27,760 Speaker 1: in a sea of despair. It looks like Donald Trump's 366 00:24:27,800 --> 00:24:30,280 Speaker 1: taking out the head of the Five Families. 367 00:24:31,600 --> 00:24:37,160 Speaker 9: Right and Godfather part one. Look, I think what's happening 368 00:24:37,359 --> 00:24:41,920 Speaker 9: is Donald Trump is pulling out kind of the pillars 369 00:24:42,160 --> 00:24:48,640 Speaker 9: of China's axis across the world. If you think about 370 00:24:49,160 --> 00:24:53,200 Speaker 9: the conflict between the United States and China. Not open conflict, 371 00:24:53,200 --> 00:24:55,720 Speaker 9: but we call it great power competition, but the fight 372 00:24:55,800 --> 00:24:59,679 Speaker 9: between the United States and China to right the rules 373 00:24:59,680 --> 00:25:02,840 Speaker 9: of the road for the rest of the world. We 374 00:25:02,960 --> 00:25:07,480 Speaker 9: have our allies that we've talked about. China has Putin 375 00:25:07,920 --> 00:25:11,600 Speaker 9: and Russia right as its attack dog, but it also 376 00:25:11,720 --> 00:25:18,200 Speaker 9: has Iran. It also has Venezuela. Cuba less important since 377 00:25:18,240 --> 00:25:20,320 Speaker 9: the end of the Cold War. But again in that 378 00:25:20,480 --> 00:25:26,080 Speaker 9: general alignment of these autocracies, of these bad guys who 379 00:25:26,080 --> 00:25:30,360 Speaker 9: oppress their own people, who want to use violence against Americans, 380 00:25:30,440 --> 00:25:34,840 Speaker 9: against our interests in our allies. What has Donald Trump done. 381 00:25:35,080 --> 00:25:38,600 Speaker 9: He kicked the Chinese out of the Panama Canal. He 382 00:25:38,760 --> 00:25:42,800 Speaker 9: removed Maduro from power. The same week that a Chinese 383 00:25:42,880 --> 00:25:47,719 Speaker 9: delegation was negotiating with Maduro, US forces came in and 384 00:25:48,040 --> 00:25:50,680 Speaker 9: pulled Maduro to where he's now riding in a New 385 00:25:50,760 --> 00:25:56,080 Speaker 9: York City jail. Now we see Trump turning up the 386 00:25:56,119 --> 00:26:00,359 Speaker 9: screws on the Mullahs right, which supply China within energy. 387 00:26:01,240 --> 00:26:04,159 Speaker 9: We have a friendly government in Iran that's working with 388 00:26:04,200 --> 00:26:08,000 Speaker 9: the United States, that's not massacring its own people. I 389 00:26:08,040 --> 00:26:11,159 Speaker 9: have a feeling that that supply of energy to China 390 00:26:11,720 --> 00:26:16,240 Speaker 9: is going to be limited with any new Tehran regime. Right, 391 00:26:17,080 --> 00:26:21,520 Speaker 9: And we have this situation in Ukraine where Trump is 392 00:26:21,600 --> 00:26:27,719 Speaker 9: working to get a peaceful negotiation, but because Putin is uninterested, 393 00:26:27,760 --> 00:26:31,560 Speaker 9: Putin continues to grind his military machine with. 394 00:26:31,600 --> 00:26:33,520 Speaker 7: These awful casualties. 395 00:26:34,359 --> 00:26:36,840 Speaker 9: So when I look at what Donald Trump is doing, 396 00:26:37,320 --> 00:26:42,280 Speaker 9: whether it's geopolitically, whether it's through tariffs and trade, whether 397 00:26:42,320 --> 00:26:46,560 Speaker 9: it's through promoting our energy resources, whether it's trying to 398 00:26:46,680 --> 00:26:51,119 Speaker 9: reinvigorate the American economy through growth, whether it's even trying 399 00:26:51,160 --> 00:26:54,880 Speaker 9: to instill a sense of national patriotism and pride. As 400 00:26:54,920 --> 00:26:57,320 Speaker 9: we enter the two hundred and fiftieth anniversary of the 401 00:26:57,359 --> 00:27:03,280 Speaker 9: Declaration of Independence, I see him building up America's strength 402 00:27:03,640 --> 00:27:09,000 Speaker 9: over China and removing the pillars of China's power projection 403 00:27:09,160 --> 00:27:12,480 Speaker 9: around the world. And so far that strategy is succeeding. 404 00:27:13,119 --> 00:27:15,040 Speaker 1: It certainly is look at, look at look at some 405 00:27:15,080 --> 00:27:19,040 Speaker 1: of the second order effects of taking out Iran as 406 00:27:19,080 --> 00:27:23,720 Speaker 1: far as Ukraine. Iran is a major supplier of weapon systems, 407 00:27:23,960 --> 00:27:28,320 Speaker 1: including drones and technical know how that gets cut off. 408 00:27:28,720 --> 00:27:33,000 Speaker 1: That that hurts the Russians who are sort of alied 409 00:27:33,080 --> 00:27:38,640 Speaker 1: but not really allied with China. As for China, it's 410 00:27:38,680 --> 00:27:41,639 Speaker 1: got to get its gas somewhere, and we're going to 411 00:27:41,720 --> 00:27:44,679 Speaker 1: have our hands around its throat. If you want to 412 00:27:44,760 --> 00:27:50,359 Speaker 1: protect Taiwan, you get a stranglehold on the Persian Gulf 413 00:27:51,359 --> 00:27:55,960 Speaker 1: and Iranian oil because China is not invading anybody if 414 00:27:56,000 --> 00:27:59,479 Speaker 1: you've cut off their Iranian oil. This is this is 415 00:27:59,520 --> 00:28:03,000 Speaker 1: not just payback, although I am perfectly happy with it 416 00:28:03,040 --> 00:28:08,719 Speaker 1: being payback. This is an aggressive strategy to neutralize our 417 00:28:08,840 --> 00:28:14,080 Speaker 1: enemy's capacity to operate against us and to reorder the world. 418 00:28:14,480 --> 00:28:18,520 Speaker 1: It is remarkable, and people are so blinded by their 419 00:28:18,560 --> 00:28:21,680 Speaker 1: Trump hatred they can't see what's actually going down. 420 00:28:23,400 --> 00:28:25,719 Speaker 9: I think there's a lot to that, especially when you 421 00:28:25,720 --> 00:28:29,199 Speaker 9: think about how while Trump is making these moves in 422 00:28:29,240 --> 00:28:33,159 Speaker 9: the Western Hemisphere in the Middle East, he's trying to 423 00:28:33,240 --> 00:28:36,520 Speaker 9: keep kind of the lid on the conflict in Ukraine, 424 00:28:38,120 --> 00:28:42,800 Speaker 9: he's actually kind of extending olive branches towards China. He's 425 00:28:43,120 --> 00:28:46,480 Speaker 9: he's going to China in the spring. He is he 426 00:28:46,600 --> 00:28:50,360 Speaker 9: downplayed China in the State of the Union. He's saying, 427 00:28:50,800 --> 00:28:53,200 Speaker 9: we kind of went toe to toe with them last 428 00:28:53,280 --> 00:28:55,840 Speaker 9: year over trade. But now he's trying to say, look, 429 00:28:55,880 --> 00:28:56,920 Speaker 9: we can be partners. 430 00:28:57,040 --> 00:28:59,160 Speaker 7: That's I think. The thing that people don't. 431 00:28:59,040 --> 00:29:02,760 Speaker 9: Quite understand Aboutald Trump, especially the people who hate him, 432 00:29:03,200 --> 00:29:08,480 Speaker 9: is he approaches every situation very open handed, open minded. 433 00:29:09,600 --> 00:29:12,440 Speaker 9: He wants to work, he wants to cut these deals. 434 00:29:12,920 --> 00:29:16,920 Speaker 9: It's only when the people he's met with resistance or 435 00:29:16,920 --> 00:29:21,280 Speaker 9: he's met with kind of the unimmovable object, that he 436 00:29:21,360 --> 00:29:24,200 Speaker 9: begins to ratchet up the pressure. He begins to turn 437 00:29:24,280 --> 00:29:26,640 Speaker 9: more of the bad cop instead of the good cop. 438 00:29:27,120 --> 00:29:30,880 Speaker 9: So I see him working out the strategy. It's not easy. 439 00:29:31,720 --> 00:29:35,440 Speaker 9: Success is not guaranteed, but Iran is one more theater 440 00:29:36,120 --> 00:29:39,240 Speaker 9: where the United States and our allies not only gained 441 00:29:39,240 --> 00:29:43,520 Speaker 9: security for ourselves, but also get a leg up over 442 00:29:43,720 --> 00:29:45,120 Speaker 9: the People's Republic of China. 443 00:29:45,400 --> 00:29:47,880 Speaker 1: Well, I think those are great points. Matt continetty. I'd 444 00:29:47,920 --> 00:29:49,480 Speaker 1: love to talk about him more, but then I won't 445 00:29:49,480 --> 00:29:51,280 Speaker 1: be able to talk about the State of the Union. 446 00:29:52,200 --> 00:29:55,600 Speaker 1: My contention is that the State of the Union was 447 00:29:55,640 --> 00:29:59,600 Speaker 1: the beginning of the nationalized portion of the midterm campaign, 448 00:30:00,120 --> 00:30:04,120 Speaker 1: and that Donald Trump has kind of forced the Democrats 449 00:30:04,160 --> 00:30:09,720 Speaker 1: into a strategic problem. They have made him the focus 450 00:30:10,040 --> 00:30:12,680 Speaker 1: of their election. They don't have an agenda. It's all 451 00:30:12,720 --> 00:30:17,600 Speaker 1: about Donald Trump, and to work that strategy has to 452 00:30:17,600 --> 00:30:21,240 Speaker 1: have Donald Trump's cooperation. Instead, he walked out and instead 453 00:30:21,240 --> 00:30:25,600 Speaker 1: of being a lunatic fascist who's literally Hitler, it was 454 00:30:25,760 --> 00:30:30,640 Speaker 1: orange man Glad. We got about thirty five seconds. 455 00:30:30,680 --> 00:30:34,280 Speaker 9: What do you think it was a very successful speech. 456 00:30:34,760 --> 00:30:39,200 Speaker 9: I think he reset the political conversation. He wove these 457 00:30:39,240 --> 00:30:43,720 Speaker 9: stories of patriotism into the speech in such a kind 458 00:30:43,760 --> 00:30:47,080 Speaker 9: of dramatic and captivating way that Democrats didn't know what 459 00:30:47,160 --> 00:30:47,440 Speaker 9: to do. 460 00:30:47,840 --> 00:30:48,920 Speaker 7: And then in that very. 461 00:30:48,880 --> 00:30:52,000 Speaker 9: Important moment when he asked Congress to stand up if 462 00:30:52,000 --> 00:30:57,240 Speaker 9: they believed that the government's primary responsibility was protecting American citizens, 463 00:30:57,320 --> 00:31:01,960 Speaker 9: not the legal aliens, the Democrats sat down. That's exactly 464 00:31:02,000 --> 00:31:04,560 Speaker 9: the contrast that's going to play a role in the 465 00:31:04,600 --> 00:31:07,760 Speaker 9: twenty twenty six campaign and in twenty twenty eight. 466 00:31:08,000 --> 00:31:10,760 Speaker 1: Well, that's the visual that's going to launch one thousand 467 00:31:11,040 --> 00:31:14,520 Speaker 1: campaign ads this autumn. I'm George Schliter. That was Matt 468 00:31:14,560 --> 00:31:20,640 Speaker 1: contin Any Wall Street Journal columnist AI senior fellow stick around. 469 00:31:20,680 --> 00:31:21,960 Speaker 1: We got a lot more on the Huth.

He is a former United 472 00:31:28,520 --> 00:31:32,040 Speaker 1: States Army officer. He is a great friend of me personally, 473 00:31:32,080 --> 00:31:34,760 Speaker 1: if you personally, and of course of the show. And 474 00:31:35,760 --> 00:31:40,480 Speaker 1: he was our national security advisor in the first Trump administration. 475 00:31:40,960 --> 00:31:47,320 Speaker 1: Robert C. O'Brien, welcome, Robert, Colonel slicker and break that 476 00:31:47,760 --> 00:31:48,520 Speaker 1: bread your tag. 477 00:31:50,160 --> 00:31:51,560 Speaker 8: Number one town Hall for sure. 478 00:31:51,800 --> 00:31:55,040 Speaker 1: Oh well, thank you very much. I guess you're watching 479 00:31:55,080 --> 00:31:57,920 Speaker 1: what's happening over in Iran. Of course, we've got to 480 00:31:57,920 --> 00:32:00,600 Speaker 1: be very careful not to reveal anything it might not 481 00:32:00,720 --> 00:32:04,200 Speaker 1: be appropriate to reveal. But what does your gut say 482 00:32:04,200 --> 00:32:06,440 Speaker 1: about what's going to happen in the next forty eight 483 00:32:06,440 --> 00:32:10,040 Speaker 1: to seventy two hours, Well. 484 00:32:09,920 --> 00:32:13,320 Speaker 6: Kurt, if we strike around and it's beginning to look 485 00:32:13,360 --> 00:32:17,600 Speaker 6: like we're moving heavily in that direction, especially with the 486 00:32:17,600 --> 00:32:18,680 Speaker 6: evacuation orders. 487 00:32:19,600 --> 00:32:21,120 Speaker 8: This is one hundred percent of the mullets. 488 00:32:21,760 --> 00:32:24,200 Speaker 6: President Trunk gave them an off ramp, just like he 489 00:32:24,280 --> 00:32:27,240 Speaker 6: gave him to their own off ramp. He basically told 490 00:32:27,320 --> 00:32:30,480 Speaker 6: him all reduced Pompeos ten points you have to agree 491 00:32:30,520 --> 00:32:34,200 Speaker 6: to from the first term to three points. No ballistic 492 00:32:34,240 --> 00:32:38,920 Speaker 6: missiles to hit America our allies, no nukes, and stop 493 00:32:38,960 --> 00:32:41,920 Speaker 6: paying them paying money to the huties and Hesblon Moss 494 00:32:41,960 --> 00:32:45,440 Speaker 6: to sink our ships in the Red Sea or harass Israel. 495 00:32:45,960 --> 00:32:49,120 Speaker 6: These are very three, three, very minor things from the 496 00:32:49,520 --> 00:32:53,600 Speaker 6: Iranians to agree to. But and then he told the consequence. 497 00:32:53,640 --> 00:32:55,160 Speaker 6: He said, look, it's going to be very bad you 498 00:32:55,240 --> 00:32:57,680 Speaker 6: do use a Trump Turman. It's very bad for you 499 00:32:57,520 --> 00:33:00,400 Speaker 6: if you don't agree to this. And they I think 500 00:33:00,400 --> 00:33:03,760 Speaker 6: they think they're negotiating with Joe Biden or Barack Obama 501 00:33:04,320 --> 00:33:06,920 Speaker 6: because they didn't accept the offer. And if they don't 502 00:33:06,920 --> 00:33:11,160 Speaker 6: accept the offer real quickly, they're gonna pay a penalty. 503 00:33:11,280 --> 00:33:13,560 Speaker 1: Well, I think it's going to be a penalty that 504 00:33:13,720 --> 00:33:18,000 Speaker 1: is long overdue. We have been you know, Robert C. O'Brien, 505 00:33:18,080 --> 00:33:21,080 Speaker 1: I keep hearing that we don't want to have. Yeah, wait, 506 00:33:21,120 --> 00:33:23,680 Speaker 1: we can't have any more forever wars. Hey, it's not 507 00:33:23,760 --> 00:33:29,400 Speaker 1: a forever war. If you win it, weer one hundred 508 00:33:29,400 --> 00:33:29,880 Speaker 1: percent right. 509 00:33:29,920 --> 00:33:31,400 Speaker 8: And I know you made that point in one of 510 00:33:31,400 --> 00:33:33,960 Speaker 8: your columns. And the other thing is started forever war. 511 00:33:34,560 --> 00:33:37,920 Speaker 6: If we use our advantages are asymmetric advantages. We use airpower. 512 00:33:38,920 --> 00:33:40,680 Speaker 6: Half the US Air Force is over in the region 513 00:33:40,720 --> 00:33:44,560 Speaker 6: right now, and our naval airpower and our naval bombardment power, 514 00:33:44,680 --> 00:33:47,720 Speaker 6: so we can use standoff weapons, not put boots on 515 00:33:47,720 --> 00:33:50,240 Speaker 6: the ground. Maybe we have some CIA agents, there's some 516 00:33:50,880 --> 00:33:54,560 Speaker 6: very exquisite delta or sealed forces there, but this is 517 00:33:54,560 --> 00:33:55,360 Speaker 6: not gonna be boots on. 518 00:33:55,360 --> 00:33:56,440 Speaker 8: The ground doing patrols. 519 00:33:56,480 --> 00:34:00,560 Speaker 6: And you know Tara Teuran asking from I needed to 520 00:34:00,560 --> 00:34:03,000 Speaker 6: get shot at one of our guys who's got restricted 521 00:34:03,080 --> 00:34:04,960 Speaker 6: rules of engagement on them. This is going to be 522 00:34:04,960 --> 00:34:07,520 Speaker 6: a massive bombardment from the air and see the likes 523 00:34:07,520 --> 00:34:09,520 Speaker 6: of which the world hasn't seen since World War Two. 524 00:34:10,280 --> 00:34:14,200 Speaker 8: And so you know, our pilots. 525 00:34:13,840 --> 00:34:16,040 Speaker 6: Are risking, our centers are rescuing, and some of our 526 00:34:16,080 --> 00:34:17,040 Speaker 6: operators are reskuing. 527 00:34:17,080 --> 00:34:19,040 Speaker 8: I thank God bless them for defending us. 528 00:34:19,600 --> 00:34:21,480 Speaker 6: But this is not going to be one hundred thousand 529 00:34:21,760 --> 00:34:24,640 Speaker 6: people boots on the ground like like you hadn't goulf 530 00:34:24,760 --> 00:34:27,239 Speaker 6: one or we saw in Afghanist Santa. 531 00:34:27,120 --> 00:34:32,480 Speaker 1: Iraq, for sure, Robert, do you expect to see Israel 532 00:34:32,640 --> 00:34:37,680 Speaker 1: intervene publicly? I can only imagine that it's a already 533 00:34:37,680 --> 00:34:41,600 Speaker 1: going to be very very involved behind the scenes, probably 534 00:34:41,640 --> 00:34:46,280 Speaker 1: on the ground with his intelligence and its direct action capabilities. 535 00:34:46,440 --> 00:34:50,520 Speaker 1: But do you expect to see flights of Israeli fighter 536 00:34:50,560 --> 00:34:57,120 Speaker 1: bombers doing strikes in Iran, or maybe just focusing on 537 00:34:57,160 --> 00:35:00,480 Speaker 1: some of their allies in Libya or I'm sorry, Lebanon 538 00:35:00,480 --> 00:35:03,880 Speaker 1: and Syria, maybe even Yemen in support of this. How 539 00:35:04,120 --> 00:35:05,080 Speaker 1: do you say that playing out? 540 00:35:06,480 --> 00:35:09,800 Speaker 6: Yeah, Look, there's I've gotten no prime minister name Yahoo 541 00:35:10,080 --> 00:35:12,200 Speaker 6: very well over the past few years. He's kind of 542 00:35:12,239 --> 00:35:15,279 Speaker 6: like the Israeli version of Donald Trump. He's not gonna 543 00:35:15,280 --> 00:35:18,760 Speaker 6: be able to stay out of this. If the blue 544 00:35:18,840 --> 00:35:21,680 Speaker 6: goes up, Israeli forces are going to be involved now, 545 00:35:21,680 --> 00:35:24,840 Speaker 6: whether they'll have hit a Ram, which I expect, or 546 00:35:24,960 --> 00:35:27,520 Speaker 6: or a combination of Iran and the Hutis and and 547 00:35:27,640 --> 00:35:31,160 Speaker 6: hes Law, these reds will be involved in and they'll 548 00:35:31,160 --> 00:35:35,360 Speaker 6: play a decisive role. As you mentioned, their intelligence operations 549 00:35:35,360 --> 00:35:37,279 Speaker 6: on the ground are exquisite. 550 00:35:37,320 --> 00:35:38,799 Speaker 8: I mean they know where everybody is. 551 00:35:39,520 --> 00:35:41,440 Speaker 6: And if I was in a radio general right now, 552 00:35:41,440 --> 00:35:44,000 Speaker 6: I want to get out a dodge to drive out 553 00:35:44,000 --> 00:35:46,560 Speaker 6: to the desert and dig a hole, because if you're, 554 00:35:46,600 --> 00:35:49,200 Speaker 6: if you're, if you're, if you're at a headquarters, to 555 00:35:49,239 --> 00:35:50,960 Speaker 6: find you in bomb youa Do. 556 00:35:50,920 --> 00:35:54,160 Speaker 1: You think it's outside the realm of possibility that certain 557 00:35:55,560 --> 00:35:58,920 Speaker 1: people within the political hierarchy and the military structure of 558 00:35:58,960 --> 00:36:01,560 Speaker 1: Iran have already got in that phone call from a 559 00:36:02,120 --> 00:36:07,200 Speaker 1: unknown number where somebody in perfect FARSI explains you now 560 00:36:07,239 --> 00:36:11,440 Speaker 1: have a choice of living or dying. You want to 561 00:36:11,440 --> 00:36:11,759 Speaker 1: work with. 562 00:36:16,120 --> 00:36:18,319 Speaker 6: You get a box full of silver, you get a 563 00:36:18,320 --> 00:36:20,120 Speaker 6: silver bullet, you know, one of the two. 564 00:36:20,400 --> 00:36:21,200 Speaker 8: My guess is the. 565 00:36:21,239 --> 00:36:26,239 Speaker 6: Israelis, the Israels are masters at this at psyops and 566 00:36:26,400 --> 00:36:29,160 Speaker 6: you know, prepping the battlefield US incognitive warfare. 567 00:36:29,560 --> 00:36:30,680 Speaker 8: So I'm sure they've been involved. 568 00:36:30,680 --> 00:36:33,879 Speaker 6: I'm sure Massade has been involved, but look, our guys 569 00:36:33,880 --> 00:36:35,320 Speaker 6: are pretty good at it as well. And then my 570 00:36:35,760 --> 00:36:38,560 Speaker 6: guess is that John Radcliffe seems as had the teams 571 00:36:38,600 --> 00:36:42,279 Speaker 6: on the ground with the CIA, maybe others maybe so 572 00:36:42,440 --> 00:36:46,440 Speaker 6: common Jaysock. So I think the battlefield has been well 573 00:36:46,480 --> 00:36:48,120 Speaker 6: prepped in and I wouldn't be surprised to see an 574 00:36:48,200 --> 00:36:51,640 Speaker 6: uprising as well of the citizens of Iran this time. 575 00:36:51,680 --> 00:36:53,840 Speaker 6: I guess is that they've been they'll have been supplied 576 00:36:53,840 --> 00:36:54,560 Speaker 6: with guns. 577 00:36:54,920 --> 00:36:58,600 Speaker 1: Well, Robert, you were like me, you were an army officer. 578 00:36:58,719 --> 00:37:02,000 Speaker 1: Did you encounter a lot of c W Chief Warrant 579 00:37:02,000 --> 00:37:07,200 Speaker 1: officer fives? Like Chief Warrant Officer five. Slover the UH 580 00:37:07,239 --> 00:37:09,840 Speaker 1: recipient of the Medal of Honor at this UH the 581 00:37:10,080 --> 00:37:14,240 Speaker 1: UH state of the union message during your career. 582 00:37:16,480 --> 00:37:17,920 Speaker 8: Hey, look I was. 583 00:37:17,920 --> 00:37:19,680 Speaker 6: Just a JAKE officer, so I wasn't tip of the 584 00:37:19,719 --> 00:37:20,919 Speaker 6: spear like you. 585 00:37:21,160 --> 00:37:22,280 Speaker 8: You were a CAV officer. 586 00:37:22,400 --> 00:37:26,239 Speaker 6: And but look I dealt with Seals and and UH 587 00:37:26,360 --> 00:37:29,120 Speaker 6: Special Forces guys on a regular basis. I was always 588 00:37:29,160 --> 00:37:31,920 Speaker 6: super impressed with them. I felt like I was the 589 00:37:33,000 --> 00:37:38,520 Speaker 6: JV team, said levarsity for sure, but tons of tons 590 00:37:38,600 --> 00:37:42,200 Speaker 6: of character, brave and But but the thing that people 591 00:37:42,200 --> 00:37:45,719 Speaker 6: don't understand these have pro athlete liabilities. I mean, they're 592 00:37:45,760 --> 00:37:49,120 Speaker 6: they're fast, they're strong, they're they're they're smart. I mean 593 00:37:49,640 --> 00:37:51,440 Speaker 6: they're they're they're true warriors. 594 00:37:51,880 --> 00:37:56,480 Speaker 1: I I think the iatolas need to understand that there's 595 00:37:56,520 --> 00:38:00,200 Speaker 1: not just one of these guys from Central Casting out there. 596 00:38:00,000 --> 00:38:05,520 Speaker 1: There are whole you know, squadrons of these UH Special 597 00:38:05,680 --> 00:38:09,840 Speaker 1: Warfare operators out there. If I is it correct to 598 00:38:09,880 --> 00:38:13,520 Speaker 1: say that if you're an eyotola right now, maybe you're 599 00:38:13,880 --> 00:38:15,760 Speaker 1: re upping your life insurance. 600 00:38:17,200 --> 00:38:20,880 Speaker 6: Or you're checking the flights to Moscow today. I mean, 601 00:38:21,080 --> 00:38:22,360 Speaker 6: you want to get out of Dodge. You want to 602 00:38:22,360 --> 00:38:26,120 Speaker 6: go to Moscow or Beijing, and Havana is probably off 603 00:38:26,120 --> 00:38:27,960 Speaker 6: of the list. You know, that's good weather in Havanna. 604 00:38:28,000 --> 00:38:30,080 Speaker 6: But I think Cuba's going to fall here sooner rather 605 00:38:30,160 --> 00:38:33,080 Speaker 6: than later. So you can't go to Havana or Caracas anymore. 606 00:38:33,120 --> 00:38:37,080 Speaker 6: So you're probably stuck with with Beijing or Moscow. But 607 00:38:37,239 --> 00:38:40,200 Speaker 6: I would get the hang out of dollarge if, as 608 00:38:40,280 --> 00:38:43,120 Speaker 6: I told you, you don't want to meet those Delta 609 00:38:43,200 --> 00:38:46,759 Speaker 6: the dev grew seal team, six squadrons with night vision 610 00:38:46,760 --> 00:38:48,280 Speaker 6: goggles in the middle of night in your bedroom. 611 00:38:48,320 --> 00:38:50,719 Speaker 8: That's not a good That's not a good interview to have. 612 00:38:51,040 --> 00:38:53,000 Speaker 1: Yeah, that's not not the way you want to start 613 00:38:53,040 --> 00:38:56,880 Speaker 1: your day. You mentioned Cuba, uh in Venezuela, and Venezuela 614 00:38:57,080 --> 00:38:59,400 Speaker 1: is out of the picture. Cuba is going to be 615 00:38:59,440 --> 00:39:01,400 Speaker 1: out of the pick. Iran is going to be out 616 00:39:01,440 --> 00:39:03,920 Speaker 1: of the picture. It's like Donald Trump's taking out the 617 00:39:03,960 --> 00:39:08,040 Speaker 1: heads of the Five Families. You were at the pinnacle 618 00:39:08,120 --> 00:39:10,440 Speaker 1: of American strategy. I was just an enamateur. I just 619 00:39:10,480 --> 00:39:13,400 Speaker 1: went to the War College. But what I see is 620 00:39:13,480 --> 00:39:19,120 Speaker 1: the United States completely resetting the strategic table, because if 621 00:39:19,160 --> 00:39:23,279 Speaker 1: we get Iran, then we get control of Iran, we 622 00:39:23,360 --> 00:39:26,799 Speaker 1: get control of its oil, which means the Chinese, who 623 00:39:26,920 --> 00:39:32,200 Speaker 1: desperately need the oil suddenly find themselves constrained simply because 624 00:39:32,239 --> 00:39:35,080 Speaker 1: we can turn off the spigot any time, which makes 625 00:39:35,160 --> 00:39:38,840 Speaker 1: Taiwan essentially safe. Am I analyzing this correctly? 626 00:39:41,000 --> 00:39:45,920 Speaker 6: Well, Donald Trumps is changing the whole geo political chessboard, 627 00:39:45,960 --> 00:39:47,640 Speaker 6: so to speak. I mean, he's taking the bad guys 628 00:39:47,680 --> 00:39:50,080 Speaker 6: off the table. We've already taken Venezuela off the table. 629 00:39:50,160 --> 00:39:52,279 Speaker 6: We're gonna take Cuba off the table. And if we 630 00:39:52,360 --> 00:39:53,879 Speaker 6: take a Ran off the table, that is a really 631 00:39:53,920 --> 00:39:54,319 Speaker 6: big deal. 632 00:39:54,480 --> 00:39:55,360 Speaker 8: I had a China. 633 00:39:55,160 --> 00:39:57,239 Speaker 6: Expert, probably one of the smartest guys on China that 634 00:39:57,320 --> 00:40:00,600 Speaker 6: I know, would tell me if Orangos is really a 635 00:40:00,719 --> 00:40:04,160 Speaker 6: problem for China, China and russ we can find themselves 636 00:40:04,200 --> 00:40:07,759 Speaker 6: with no no allies other than each other. And so 637 00:40:09,160 --> 00:40:13,319 Speaker 6: Donald Trumps playing chess and the mainstream media and then 638 00:40:13,400 --> 00:40:16,880 Speaker 6: people have just criticized them on Greenland, criticized them on Venezuela. 639 00:40:17,239 --> 00:40:19,719 Speaker 6: They have no idea what he's doing. He's running up 640 00:40:19,719 --> 00:40:25,360 Speaker 6: the score big time for the US. Well, Kurt is 641 00:40:26,400 --> 00:40:27,720 Speaker 6: Energy Dominance. 642 00:40:27,800 --> 00:40:32,360 Speaker 1: Energy Dominance, My friend former National Security advisor Robert C.

I imagine 664 00:41:34,719 --> 00:41:36,960 Speaker 3: you were an athlete as a youngster. 665 00:41:37,400 --> 00:41:38,080 Speaker 4: I was not. 666 00:41:38,680 --> 00:41:42,919 Speaker 3: I was the guy picked last, except in hockey, where 667 00:41:42,960 --> 00:41:45,799 Speaker 3: they said you're the goalie and who knew I had 668 00:41:45,960 --> 00:41:48,799 Speaker 3: a sports talent. I could get hit with a puck, 669 00:41:49,320 --> 00:41:52,239 Speaker 3: and I played ice hockey goalie till I was sixty two. 670 00:41:53,160 --> 00:41:55,840 Speaker 3: And I love the game, and I love what happened 671 00:41:55,920 --> 00:41:59,359 Speaker 3: last week, except I hate what happened this week. When 672 00:41:59,400 --> 00:42:01,799 Speaker 3: I was just a little lad and the world had 673 00:42:01,880 --> 00:42:05,520 Speaker 3: some decorum, I dreamed of playing hockey in the old 674 00:42:05,640 --> 00:42:09,960 Speaker 3: Montreal Forum and with the great Roget Ducet. I'd sing 675 00:42:10,120 --> 00:42:13,759 Speaker 3: their song by heart, except i'd kind of mumble when 676 00:42:13,800 --> 00:42:17,120 Speaker 3: I reached that Frenchy part.

Sport is meant for discipline, and 683 00:42:34,080 --> 00:42:38,280 Speaker 3: sport has meant for fun, a seeming contradiction, but somehow 684 00:42:38,480 --> 00:42:41,880 Speaker 3: it gets done.
