The Arabian regime is back to Houthi 30 00:02:17,440 --> 00:02:22,960 Speaker 2: rebels for years now.

They 34 00:02:34,320 --> 00:02:39,160 Speaker 2: got to they have a sizeable military. You don't want 35 00:02:39,160 --> 00:02:43,120 Speaker 2: to have this fight unless unless you already know you're 36 00:02:43,160 --> 00:02:49,560 Speaker 2: gonna lose, unless you already know that it's over, which 37 00:02:49,720 --> 00:02:55,720 Speaker 2: I would argue it seems clear to me that they know. 38 00:02:57,639 --> 00:03:02,320 Speaker 2: The latest news is that the United States sunk in 39 00:03:02,480 --> 00:03:09,600 Speaker 2: Iranian warship. This warship known as the Solomoni. Now you 40 00:03:09,600 --> 00:03:12,959 Speaker 2: remember the name Solomony because President Trump had him killed 41 00:03:13,280 --> 00:03:16,120 Speaker 2: in the first term and all they were angry, and 42 00:03:16,160 --> 00:03:20,120 Speaker 2: they went, ooh, that's how you knew. That's how you knew. 43 00:03:20,120 --> 00:03:26,840 Speaker 2: They were very very upset. Well, they had this warship. 44 00:03:26,880 --> 00:03:34,640 Speaker 2: It was their most advanced warship, was the Solomony, and 45 00:03:34,680 --> 00:03:42,240 Speaker 2: the United States took it out with a Mark forty eight, 46 00:03:42,520 --> 00:03:46,160 Speaker 2: now sometimes referred to as the MK forty eight. And 47 00:03:46,200 --> 00:03:48,119 Speaker 2: you say to me, Tony, how do I know that name? 48 00:03:48,280 --> 00:03:50,400 Speaker 2: How have I heard that before? Wait, I'm not used 49 00:03:50,440 --> 00:03:53,040 Speaker 2: to that? Does that get shot off of an apache 50 00:03:53,400 --> 00:04:00,520 Speaker 2: to where does that come from? It's a torpedo out 51 00:04:00,560 --> 00:04:06,240 Speaker 2: what's known as the Iris Shahid Solimani with a torpedo, 52 00:04:07,560 --> 00:04:12,840 Speaker 2: an MK forty eight. This is a heavy torpedo. It 53 00:04:12,960 --> 00:04:16,080 Speaker 2: is the first sinking, according to the Secretary of Defense 54 00:04:16,120 --> 00:04:19,640 Speaker 2: Secretary of War Pete Hegseth of an enemy ship by 55 00:04:19,680 --> 00:04:27,640 Speaker 2: a torpedo since World War II. And for the record, 56 00:04:28,000 --> 00:04:32,240 Speaker 2: the US Department of Defense putting the screen grabs out 57 00:04:35,960 --> 00:04:41,760 Speaker 2: of the sinking of this ship going down from what 58 00:04:41,880 --> 00:04:47,520 Speaker 2: looks like the periscope of the submarine. For all of 59 00:04:47,560 --> 00:04:51,159 Speaker 2: the issues with our navy, and there are many, because 60 00:04:51,200 --> 00:04:53,520 Speaker 2: we do not have enough ships. We need to be 61 00:04:53,520 --> 00:04:55,360 Speaker 2: at the three hundred and forty number, and we are 62 00:04:55,400 --> 00:04:58,320 Speaker 2: not doing a good job of it. And shipbuilding is 63 00:04:58,360 --> 00:05:02,960 Speaker 2: incredibly important, not just milit sterry, but cargo and other ships. 64 00:05:04,720 --> 00:05:08,039 Speaker 2: We have an absolutely amazing submarine force and we always have, 65 00:05:09,400 --> 00:05:14,840 Speaker 2: I mean beyond good, beyond concerning for the Russians and 66 00:05:14,880 --> 00:05:16,960 Speaker 2: for the Chinese and the Russians of course having their 67 00:05:17,000 --> 00:05:23,919 Speaker 2: own submarines, we're that much better. This is still a 68 00:05:24,040 --> 00:05:29,279 Speaker 2: remarkable thing to witness the Secretary saying the Iranian navy 69 00:05:29,320 --> 00:05:34,400 Speaker 2: rests at the bottom of the Persian Gulf combat ineffective, decimated, destroyed, defeated, 70 00:05:34,760 --> 00:05:39,080 Speaker 2: pick your adjective. And when you listen to the Secretary, 71 00:05:39,920 --> 00:05:45,280 Speaker 2: when you listen to some of his commentaries, you realize 72 00:05:45,320 --> 00:05:51,200 Speaker 2: that he is not having a conversation to be braggadocious. 73 00:05:53,080 --> 00:05:57,680 Speaker 2: He's having a conversation of pure propaganda. 74 00:05:58,360 --> 00:06:01,359 Speaker 4: Sure, Iran will still be able to shoot missiles and 75 00:06:01,440 --> 00:06:03,720 Speaker 4: still be able to launch one way attack drones at 76 00:06:03,760 --> 00:06:07,560 Speaker 4: civilian targets, and their proxies will attempt to attack our embassies, 77 00:06:07,600 --> 00:06:09,080 Speaker 4: bases and soft targets. 78 00:06:09,839 --> 00:06:11,760 Speaker 2: They are terrorists. 79 00:06:11,720 --> 00:06:16,000 Speaker 4: After all, and they need to target civilians because they 80 00:06:16,040 --> 00:06:19,320 Speaker 4: can't fight toe to toe. But we will find them, 81 00:06:19,440 --> 00:06:23,360 Speaker 4: and we will kill them. This is what the fake 82 00:06:23,440 --> 00:06:28,440 Speaker 4: news misses. We've taken control of Iran's airspace and waterways 83 00:06:28,480 --> 00:06:33,520 Speaker 4: without boots on the ground. We control their fate. But 84 00:06:33,600 --> 00:06:37,320 Speaker 4: when a few drones get through or tragic things happen, 85 00:06:38,360 --> 00:06:41,080 Speaker 4: it's front page news. I get it. The press only 86 00:06:41,080 --> 00:06:43,360 Speaker 4: wants to make the president look bad, but try for 87 00:06:43,440 --> 00:06:47,800 Speaker 4: once to report the reality. The terms of this war 88 00:06:47,839 --> 00:06:50,120 Speaker 4: will be set by us at every step. 89 00:06:51,000 --> 00:06:54,359 Speaker 2: That is not for the American media, although I would 90 00:06:54,400 --> 00:06:57,440 Speaker 2: say that that Heck Saith believes that about the American media. 91 00:06:58,720 --> 00:07:03,039 Speaker 2: This is about the IRGC, the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, 92 00:07:03,760 --> 00:07:09,760 Speaker 2: and reminding them that they've lost. We control your fate, 93 00:07:10,280 --> 00:07:15,400 Speaker 2: we control everything, We are in charge all of the rest. 94 00:07:15,720 --> 00:07:19,080 Speaker 2: That's what it's about. It is about letting them know 95 00:07:19,760 --> 00:07:27,720 Speaker 2: that no matter what, no matter what, we've got you 96 00:07:28,600 --> 00:07:32,480 Speaker 2: and there is nothing, nothing, nothing, you can do about it. 97 00:07:33,640 --> 00:07:37,840 Speaker 2: This is we are now into the propaganda part of 98 00:07:37,880 --> 00:07:41,720 Speaker 2: this war, which is well, always a part of wards, 99 00:07:41,840 --> 00:07:44,600 Speaker 2: always a part of the conversation. No one should be 100 00:07:45,160 --> 00:07:52,520 Speaker 2: surprised by it. Now, President Trump, as it reports, go 101 00:07:53,840 --> 00:07:58,240 Speaker 2: weighing backing armed groups to force out the Iranian regime. 102 00:07:59,520 --> 00:08:02,120 Speaker 2: One of the things that we've talked about guys repeatedly 103 00:08:03,560 --> 00:08:11,680 Speaker 2: was that the the the success can only happen if 104 00:08:11,680 --> 00:08:15,240 Speaker 2: the IRGC is cracked. So you want to make them 105 00:08:15,240 --> 00:08:17,440 Speaker 2: feel desperate. You want to make them feel like all 106 00:08:17,520 --> 00:08:20,120 Speaker 2: is lost. You want to make them feel like there's 107 00:08:20,520 --> 00:08:27,680 Speaker 2: there's no possibility for them, there's no there's no future here. 108 00:08:28,520 --> 00:08:32,960 Speaker 2: It's all done, it's all finished. It it's it's just 109 00:08:33,000 --> 00:08:38,079 Speaker 2: a matter of time. Break their will, right, we can 110 00:08:38,120 --> 00:08:41,120 Speaker 2: all see that. But as we've discussed, you're not going 111 00:08:41,160 --> 00:08:43,120 Speaker 2: to have this fight be done. You can talk about 112 00:08:43,120 --> 00:08:46,200 Speaker 2: the airways and the waterway, Secretary heckseat, but it isn't 113 00:08:46,200 --> 00:08:49,600 Speaker 2: done until the IRGC is broken and the people are 114 00:08:49,679 --> 00:08:56,080 Speaker 2: then able to take their their government. And for the record, 115 00:08:56,160 --> 00:08:59,560 Speaker 2: I favor the Iranian people choosing their own path, not 116 00:08:59,760 --> 00:09:02,760 Speaker 2: have the Ayatola, not having these malas, not having to 117 00:09:02,800 --> 00:09:05,280 Speaker 2: live under these Islamists. And I think the people who 118 00:09:05,360 --> 00:09:08,480 Speaker 2: are somehow in favor of the Islamists pretty disgusting and 119 00:09:08,480 --> 00:09:12,840 Speaker 2: pretty stupid. You want to hate America, No one cares. 120 00:09:13,200 --> 00:09:17,440 Speaker 2: You want the Iranian people to actually live under a 121 00:09:17,640 --> 00:09:23,800 Speaker 2: ruthless Islamist regime. You're disgusting, You're gross, You are obscene. 122 00:09:24,200 --> 00:09:31,199 Speaker 2: You are broken. There's no respect at all to have 123 00:09:31,400 --> 00:09:35,520 Speaker 2: for these people, and certainly I'm not about to have 124 00:09:35,600 --> 00:09:40,559 Speaker 2: any neither, and neither should you. But you have to 125 00:09:40,559 --> 00:09:43,840 Speaker 2: get rid of the IRGC. So now what we're hearing 126 00:09:44,600 --> 00:09:47,559 Speaker 2: is that Trump is willing to support groups inside Iran 127 00:09:48,600 --> 00:09:54,080 Speaker 2: that would take up arms against the weaken government. Now 128 00:09:54,160 --> 00:10:04,559 Speaker 2: this brings us to letters of mark, letters of market reprisal. 129 00:10:05,679 --> 00:10:09,480 Speaker 2: Letters of marketing reprisal is the ability to hire those 130 00:10:10,200 --> 00:10:14,640 Speaker 2: who you need to do certain levels of work, and 131 00:10:14,679 --> 00:10:21,240 Speaker 2: that work is can be pretty intense. That work can 132 00:10:21,280 --> 00:10:30,680 Speaker 2: be pretty aggressive. So this is nothing new, absolutely nothing 133 00:10:30,760 --> 00:10:39,880 Speaker 2: new that there could be some type of force on 134 00:10:39,920 --> 00:10:47,560 Speaker 2: the ground that isn't made up of American boots. I'm 135 00:10:47,640 --> 00:10:52,680 Speaker 2: fine with this. We have a history of this. This 136 00:10:52,880 --> 00:10:55,160 Speaker 2: is not we have the history, i should say, of 137 00:10:55,280 --> 00:10:58,360 Speaker 2: being able to do this. This is not a shock 138 00:10:59,600 --> 00:11:05,200 Speaker 2: at all. But as we see, as we have discussed, 139 00:11:06,000 --> 00:11:12,520 Speaker 2: you cannot have the success until you take out the IRGC. 140 00:11:14,679 --> 00:11:18,720 Speaker 2: But what is happening now, what is going on now 141 00:11:20,360 --> 00:11:23,480 Speaker 2: is we are in the propaganda part of this campaign 142 00:11:24,200 --> 00:11:28,080 Speaker 2: ten thousand percent, even down to this idea of it's 143 00:11:28,080 --> 00:11:30,160 Speaker 2: gonna be weeks. Bobby will be there for five weeks. 144 00:11:30,200 --> 00:11:35,120 Speaker 2: It's gonna take five weeks. What happens when it takes 145 00:11:35,120 --> 00:11:40,160 Speaker 2: two weeks? What happens to that? At that moment, Well, 146 00:11:40,240 --> 00:11:42,439 Speaker 2: we got it done even faster. Look how good we are, 147 00:11:42,480 --> 00:11:46,680 Speaker 2: Look how strong we are? All the rest everything. From 148 00:11:46,679 --> 00:11:50,199 Speaker 2: here on out, you gotta be able to take the data. 149 00:11:50,760 --> 00:11:52,840 Speaker 2: You got to run the data through your own level 150 00:11:52,840 --> 00:11:56,080 Speaker 2: of filter and say what's propaganda and what is what 151 00:11:56,160 --> 00:11:57,720 Speaker 2: is the message that they're trying to send and who 152 00:11:57,760 --> 00:12:03,760 Speaker 2: are they trying to send it to? Right, That's what 153 00:12:03,800 --> 00:12:06,280 Speaker 2: we have to do from here on out. And I 154 00:12:06,320 --> 00:12:09,880 Speaker 2: can appreciate that because that's you know what every war 155 00:12:09,960 --> 00:12:16,160 Speaker 2: is won before it begins, isn't that? Sun sou? So 156 00:12:16,400 --> 00:12:20,560 Speaker 2: here we are, Now can you break the IRGC you're 157 00:12:20,600 --> 00:12:24,640 Speaker 2: already sinking ships? And how quickly can you get the 158 00:12:24,640 --> 00:12:27,880 Speaker 2: oil flowing out of the gulf through the Straits of 159 00:12:27,880 --> 00:12:34,600 Speaker 2: hor moves because that's when markets really start rallying. Although 160 00:12:35,000 --> 00:12:39,319 Speaker 2: the market, you know, at like midday was up over 161 00:12:39,360 --> 00:12:45,760 Speaker 2: three hundred points, Remember it was down twelve hundred at 162 00:12:45,800 --> 00:12:51,760 Speaker 2: one point, It was down twelve hundred points at one 163 00:12:51,800 --> 00:12:55,320 Speaker 2: point yesterday and close four hundred down And then what 164 00:12:55,360 --> 00:12:59,200 Speaker 2: do you see today, see the art market up? What 165 00:12:59,200 --> 00:13:02,240 Speaker 2: do you see from barrel prices of oil? You see 166 00:13:02,240 --> 00:13:08,160 Speaker 2: it down? A little. Doesn't mean that everything's gonna work 167 00:13:08,200 --> 00:13:11,720 Speaker 2: out great. It doesn't mean it's gonna work out smooth 168 00:13:12,600 --> 00:13:16,720 Speaker 2: and still some rough spots ahead. It means the initial 169 00:13:17,000 --> 00:13:21,840 Speaker 2: is over and the market right now says, okay, this 170 00:13:21,920 --> 00:13:23,600 Speaker 2: might be a little bit of new normal for a while. 171 00:13:23,600 --> 00:13:26,920 Speaker 2: We'll see how it settles out. But clearly, even with 172 00:13:27,360 --> 00:13:30,520 Speaker 2: Iran's ability to still shoot missiles and do some damage 173 00:13:30,520 --> 00:13:33,160 Speaker 2: here or do some damage there, the United States does, 174 00:13:33,280 --> 00:13:35,760 Speaker 2: and this is the world belief, does have this well 175 00:13:35,760 --> 00:13:43,640 Speaker 2: in hand. Israel does have this well in hand. The 176 00:13:43,720 --> 00:13:45,920 Speaker 2: quicker this is done, the quicker. The regime is broken. 177 00:13:45,960 --> 00:13:48,640 Speaker 2: The quicker. The people of Iran are leading themselves to 178 00:13:48,640 --> 00:13:52,920 Speaker 2: a better life, the better for everybody. I'm hoping for quick. 179 00:13:53,600 --> 00:13:56,040 Speaker 2: I'm Tony Katz. This is Tony Katz today.
