Just now was announced 9 00:01:03,200 --> 00:01:07,200 Speaker 2: that we knocked out nine ships plus the naval building, 10 00:01:08,400 --> 00:01:13,320 Speaker 2: all in a matter of literally minutes. The Rands formerly 11 00:01:13,480 --> 00:01:19,560 Speaker 2: Supreme leader Ayatola Hamene is dead. 12 00:01:19,959 --> 00:01:22,959 Speaker 4: This wretched and vile man had the blood. 13 00:01:22,680 --> 00:01:27,639 Speaker 2: Of hundreds and even thousands of Americans on his hands 14 00:01:27,640 --> 00:01:32,200 Speaker 2: and was responsible for the slaughter of countless thousands of 15 00:01:32,240 --> 00:01:35,600 Speaker 2: innocent people all across many countries. 16 00:01:36,760 --> 00:01:39,800 Speaker 4: And anybody who's going to miss him is the problem. 17 00:01:41,319 --> 00:01:45,360 Speaker 4: The people out there saying, how dare we take out 18 00:01:45,440 --> 00:01:49,400 Speaker 4: this terrorist? How dare we take out this torture, how 19 00:01:49,560 --> 00:01:52,960 Speaker 4: dare we get us involved in a forever war. These 20 00:01:52,960 --> 00:01:55,160 Speaker 4: are the people who want America to fail and they 21 00:01:55,200 --> 00:01:58,080 Speaker 4: want terrorists to succeed. Now, you might say to me, Tony, 22 00:01:58,120 --> 00:02:01,360 Speaker 4: that sounds a bit harsh. Maybe that's hyperbolic. No part 23 00:02:01,400 --> 00:02:04,040 Speaker 4: of it is harsh, and no part of it is hyperbolic. 24 00:02:04,400 --> 00:02:08,520 Speaker 4: These people have chosen, and they have chosen poorly. Tony 25 00:02:08,600 --> 00:02:10,400 Speaker 4: Katz Tony Kats Today. 26 00:02:10,520 --> 00:02:12,160 Speaker 3: Good to be here, Good to be with you. 27 00:02:12,360 --> 00:02:14,720 Speaker 4: Find everything I do over at Tony kats dot com, 28 00:02:14,720 --> 00:02:18,520 Speaker 4: live streaming on the YouTube's Come check it out, subscribe. 29 00:02:17,960 --> 00:02:18,960 Speaker 3: And be a part of it. 30 00:02:20,440 --> 00:02:24,720 Speaker 4: The left is apoplectic that the rest of the world 31 00:02:25,000 --> 00:02:27,360 Speaker 4: thinks that the removal of the Iatola is a good thing. 32 00:02:27,800 --> 00:02:30,440 Speaker 3: Iranians are cheering in the streets of Tehran. 33 00:02:30,720 --> 00:02:33,360 Speaker 4: They're taking to the streets of Los Angeles, of London, 34 00:02:33,639 --> 00:02:37,160 Speaker 4: of New York and cheering. They're crying while singing their 35 00:02:37,240 --> 00:02:44,640 Speaker 4: national anthem in London. It's Iranians and Jews celebrating. Because 36 00:02:44,680 --> 00:02:47,320 Speaker 4: anybody who is of a rational mind knows that the 37 00:02:47,360 --> 00:02:49,519 Speaker 4: Ayatola was not Iranian. 38 00:02:50,400 --> 00:02:51,520 Speaker 3: Not speaking for. 39 00:02:51,480 --> 00:02:54,600 Speaker 4: These people, these people who want to live their lives free, 40 00:02:56,960 --> 00:03:01,160 Speaker 4: These people who are tortured by the iatola, quite literally, 41 00:03:02,800 --> 00:03:06,320 Speaker 4: if they weren't just killed, these people now have a 42 00:03:06,400 --> 00:03:09,960 Speaker 4: chance at a better life. That is certainly what I 43 00:03:10,000 --> 00:03:12,320 Speaker 4: hope for them. That it's not what the American left 44 00:03:12,360 --> 00:03:15,080 Speaker 4: hopes for them. We're going to break this down, but 45 00:03:15,160 --> 00:03:17,840 Speaker 4: we need to get an understanding of why this all happened. 46 00:03:18,840 --> 00:03:24,320 Speaker 4: And there is a straight line that can be created here. 47 00:03:25,120 --> 00:03:29,760 Speaker 4: I'm going to share it with you. Let's start with 48 00:03:30,840 --> 00:03:33,880 Speaker 4: the moment that we learned this was happening. This was 49 00:03:33,919 --> 00:03:37,400 Speaker 4: one twenty seven am Eastern time, nine to twenty seven. 50 00:03:38,520 --> 00:03:43,800 Speaker 3: They're in Tehran. That's when these strikes begin. Now. 51 00:03:44,200 --> 00:03:46,560 Speaker 4: I had spoken to some people and checked with some 52 00:03:46,680 --> 00:03:48,400 Speaker 4: people and said, do we think that this is going 53 00:03:48,480 --> 00:03:50,640 Speaker 4: to happen over the weekend? And some people were like, 54 00:03:50,720 --> 00:03:54,360 Speaker 4: who knows. Some people were like, definitely not. You got 55 00:03:54,360 --> 00:03:57,320 Speaker 4: to wait to see and if the embassy in Baghdad 56 00:03:57,480 --> 00:04:00,280 Speaker 4: is evacuated. Now, we knew that the Israeli embassy word 57 00:04:00,280 --> 00:04:04,520 Speaker 4: had gone out to evacuate, but we had not heard 58 00:04:04,640 --> 00:04:08,720 Speaker 4: about Baghdad. And I was talking to Major Mike Lyons, 59 00:04:09,040 --> 00:04:12,720 Speaker 4: who is our military guy, and he actually said those words, 60 00:04:13,000 --> 00:04:15,680 Speaker 4: wait till bag Dad gets evacuated. 61 00:04:15,680 --> 00:04:15,960 Speaker 3: I don't. 62 00:04:16,920 --> 00:04:18,640 Speaker 4: I think we still have a couple of weeks. Wait 63 00:04:18,680 --> 00:04:21,160 Speaker 4: till Bagdad gets evacuated. That'll tell you everything you need 64 00:04:21,200 --> 00:04:26,680 Speaker 4: to know. Bagdad got evacuated the night before. He was 65 00:04:26,760 --> 00:04:31,520 Speaker 4: not wrong. He was not wrong at all. The first 66 00:04:31,760 --> 00:04:34,480 Speaker 4: bombs drop at one twenty seven am. As of three am, 67 00:04:34,839 --> 00:04:39,640 Speaker 4: the internet on that Saturday was gone. It was then 68 00:04:40,120 --> 00:04:43,120 Speaker 4: just a few hours later that President Trump, wearing the 69 00:04:43,240 --> 00:04:49,480 Speaker 4: USA white hat, said this is taking place Operation Epic Fury. 70 00:04:50,200 --> 00:04:52,560 Speaker 3: It's good name. It's good name. 71 00:04:53,360 --> 00:04:55,479 Speaker 4: They were going to go with Operation f that guy, 72 00:04:55,720 --> 00:04:58,279 Speaker 4: but that was already taken for another operation. 73 00:04:58,560 --> 00:05:00,320 Speaker 3: So like, we can't use it. We can't use it 74 00:05:00,320 --> 00:05:01,320 Speaker 3: for two operations. 75 00:05:02,080 --> 00:05:05,560 Speaker 4: You can't. You can't do that. No, no, no no. So 76 00:05:05,920 --> 00:05:09,560 Speaker 4: so he announces the operation. A couple hours later, the 77 00:05:09,600 --> 00:05:11,520 Speaker 4: Israelis come out and say, oh, we are a part 78 00:05:11,560 --> 00:05:11,960 Speaker 4: of this. 79 00:05:14,120 --> 00:05:15,920 Speaker 3: Operation Roaring Lion. 80 00:05:16,360 --> 00:05:22,200 Speaker 4: So the first operation regarding October seventh was Operation Rising Lion. 81 00:05:22,640 --> 00:05:27,559 Speaker 4: This was Operation Roaring Lion from the Israelis. At about 82 00:05:27,560 --> 00:05:31,719 Speaker 4: eight or nine am Eastern time on this Saturday, we 83 00:05:31,920 --> 00:05:37,320 Speaker 4: learned something that is very very peculiar. And you are 84 00:05:37,560 --> 00:05:42,200 Speaker 4: right to note that it was strange, that it was odd, 85 00:05:42,520 --> 00:05:44,120 Speaker 4: that it was. 86 00:05:46,320 --> 00:05:49,080 Speaker 3: Weird, and that is. 87 00:05:50,080 --> 00:05:56,039 Speaker 4: That Iran started hitting other Arab and Muslim nations. Bahrain, 88 00:05:56,400 --> 00:05:59,840 Speaker 4: the UAE reports of missiles that were shot down over 89 00:06:00,120 --> 00:06:03,720 Speaker 4: Jordan and Saudi Arabia Kuwait. 90 00:06:05,760 --> 00:06:06,320 Speaker 3: Why in the. 91 00:06:06,240 --> 00:06:11,400 Speaker 4: World would you go after these these nations? Why would 92 00:06:11,440 --> 00:06:15,359 Speaker 4: you go after them? We'll get to that, but first, 93 00:06:15,400 --> 00:06:18,400 Speaker 4: why is the United States hitting Iran? Iran is not 94 00:06:18,440 --> 00:06:21,320 Speaker 4: an existential threat to us. They warn't an imminet threat 95 00:06:21,360 --> 00:06:24,360 Speaker 4: to us. They are no threats to us. All of 96 00:06:24,360 --> 00:06:31,640 Speaker 4: that is leftist clap trap nonsense. The Iranians, which is 97 00:06:31,640 --> 00:06:34,400 Speaker 4: to say, not the people, but the leadership, is a 98 00:06:34,560 --> 00:06:38,560 Speaker 4: terrorist organization in support of other terrorist organizations, in support 99 00:06:38,560 --> 00:06:43,479 Speaker 4: of killing you, me and we. These are the facts 100 00:06:43,480 --> 00:06:47,520 Speaker 4: as presented. It's who they are, it's what they do. 101 00:06:47,839 --> 00:06:50,640 Speaker 4: Of course, they are a threat. Every time the Houthi 102 00:06:50,720 --> 00:06:54,800 Speaker 4: rebels fired American ships, that is a threat that is Iran, 103 00:06:54,880 --> 00:06:57,200 Speaker 4: Because how do you think the Houti rebels get paid? 104 00:06:59,240 --> 00:07:01,920 Speaker 4: Here you have the United States organ with other countries 105 00:07:01,960 --> 00:07:05,200 Speaker 4: to try and rebuild Gaza and they're still hamas. How 106 00:07:05,200 --> 00:07:09,359 Speaker 4: do you think they get paid? Never mind the funding 107 00:07:09,400 --> 00:07:12,880 Speaker 4: that they give to Hesbalah in the north of Iran, 108 00:07:13,640 --> 00:07:19,680 Speaker 4: of Israel, in Lebanon. They are nothing more than a 109 00:07:19,800 --> 00:07:23,520 Speaker 4: terrorist organization in support of other terrorist organizations. 110 00:07:23,840 --> 00:07:25,000 Speaker 3: And they get there. 111 00:07:25,480 --> 00:07:29,040 Speaker 4: They get the money by selling their oil to China, 112 00:07:29,400 --> 00:07:32,280 Speaker 4: whether that be through legal or illegal means. 113 00:07:34,320 --> 00:07:38,120 Speaker 3: So all it is there is no question from the 114 00:07:38,240 --> 00:07:40,520 Speaker 3: rational minds that Iran. 115 00:07:40,200 --> 00:07:43,880 Speaker 4: And the Iranian leadership, the Ayatola and the Mullahs, the hardliners, 116 00:07:43,880 --> 00:07:48,640 Speaker 4: the clerics, they are a threat to the world. 117 00:07:49,880 --> 00:07:51,520 Speaker 3: You want to pin this all on Israel. 118 00:07:51,600 --> 00:07:55,520 Speaker 4: Okay, listen, we've been through all this before. We've heard 119 00:07:55,560 --> 00:07:58,480 Speaker 4: all this before. You want to margin Taylor Green this thing, 120 00:07:58,560 --> 00:08:01,480 Speaker 4: you go right ahead. But Marjorie Green is a damn fool. 121 00:08:03,920 --> 00:08:07,320 Speaker 4: Part of the problem is this idea about never wars 122 00:08:07,360 --> 00:08:09,120 Speaker 4: and Trump said You're not going to see a war 123 00:08:09,200 --> 00:08:14,680 Speaker 4: with Iran when I'm president. Yeah, he's got to deal 124 00:08:14,720 --> 00:08:14,920 Speaker 4: with that. 125 00:08:20,360 --> 00:08:22,800 Speaker 3: But let's let's understand. 126 00:08:23,400 --> 00:08:25,320 Speaker 4: Let's make sure that we're all on the same page 127 00:08:25,320 --> 00:08:28,400 Speaker 4: of the least where I am, and people can agree 128 00:08:30,680 --> 00:08:42,120 Speaker 4: or disagree as they choose. The Iranian regime is not representative, 129 00:08:42,160 --> 00:08:44,880 Speaker 4: as we know, an indicative of the of the Iranian people. 130 00:08:45,520 --> 00:08:47,400 Speaker 4: They want to live free and they have not been 131 00:08:47,480 --> 00:08:52,200 Speaker 4: able to live free. The Iranian regime is a threat 132 00:08:52,720 --> 00:08:55,199 Speaker 4: the world over and it had to be dealt with. 133 00:08:55,400 --> 00:09:00,440 Speaker 4: The Iranian regime was working towards a nuclear weapon. They 134 00:09:00,880 --> 00:09:05,760 Speaker 4: after even Trump's bombing raid back in twenty twenty five, 135 00:09:06,040 --> 00:09:10,480 Speaker 4: they continue to try and make head roads down this way. 136 00:09:10,760 --> 00:09:15,319 Speaker 4: They weren't going to stop until they were stopped. You're 137 00:09:15,360 --> 00:09:18,240 Speaker 4: not going to stop the Ayatola. You're not going to 138 00:09:18,240 --> 00:09:22,040 Speaker 4: stop these Islamists. You're not going to stop these terrorists 139 00:09:22,520 --> 00:09:30,960 Speaker 4: until they are stopped. The leftist wants to make the 140 00:09:31,080 --> 00:09:35,480 Speaker 4: claim that this is all the fault of Israel dragging 141 00:09:35,559 --> 00:09:39,000 Speaker 4: us into another war. But it's not just the leftist. 142 00:09:39,520 --> 00:09:42,600 Speaker 4: This is the woke right that wants to make this 143 00:09:42,800 --> 00:09:46,760 Speaker 4: same argument. Whether it's Tucker or Candace or Nick Fuentes 144 00:09:47,040 --> 00:09:50,280 Speaker 4: or name another scumbag. I don't care if they like me. 145 00:09:50,600 --> 00:09:52,920 Speaker 4: I don't care if they say mean things about me. 146 00:09:53,360 --> 00:09:59,760 Speaker 4: None of it matters. It's a stupid, stupid argument. Does 147 00:10:00,080 --> 00:10:03,400 Speaker 4: Israel clearly want an end to the Iranian regime that's 148 00:10:03,400 --> 00:10:09,280 Speaker 4: been threatening them their entire existence, Yes, or the least 149 00:10:09,440 --> 00:10:13,640 Speaker 4: the last forty plus years of their existence. Absolutely, they 150 00:10:13,720 --> 00:10:20,720 Speaker 4: do of this, There is no question whatsoever. Of course 151 00:10:20,880 --> 00:10:25,760 Speaker 4: Israel wants them gone done, wants the regime over with. 152 00:10:26,160 --> 00:10:29,680 Speaker 3: That's undoubtedly true. 153 00:10:30,000 --> 00:10:33,840 Speaker 4: Doesn't change the fact that the Iranians are the sponsors 154 00:10:33,840 --> 00:10:37,200 Speaker 4: of terrorism and have engaged in attacks on American citizens, 155 00:10:39,000 --> 00:10:43,440 Speaker 4: have engaged in attacks on American troops. They aren't the 156 00:10:43,480 --> 00:10:48,680 Speaker 4: good guys. They don't have a case here. The Iranian 157 00:10:48,760 --> 00:10:52,320 Speaker 4: regime under the IOLA doesn't have a case that can 158 00:10:52,360 --> 00:10:55,400 Speaker 4: be made for why they are somehow being treated poorly. 159 00:10:55,800 --> 00:10:58,040 Speaker 4: And the left and the wok right want to make 160 00:10:58,080 --> 00:11:01,160 Speaker 4: some argument for why he wasn't a threats. These people 161 00:11:01,160 --> 00:11:04,599 Speaker 4: are out of their heads and they're wrong. The obvious 162 00:11:04,679 --> 00:11:10,880 Speaker 4: threats can be seen throughout history. The defense of it, well, 163 00:11:10,880 --> 00:11:13,800 Speaker 4: it comes from two places. From the left, it comes 164 00:11:13,840 --> 00:11:16,560 Speaker 4: from an absolute hate of the United States, and from 165 00:11:16,559 --> 00:11:18,640 Speaker 4: the right to the woke right, it comes from the 166 00:11:18,800 --> 00:11:23,600 Speaker 4: absolutely ignorant and childlike place of no more wars. 167 00:11:26,400 --> 00:11:28,280 Speaker 3: Kitten, what are you even talking about? 168 00:11:30,160 --> 00:11:35,040 Speaker 4: Some people, some groups, some organizations are a threat and 169 00:11:35,080 --> 00:11:37,880 Speaker 4: they have to go.

And the argument is, sure, 190 00:12:41,520 --> 00:12:43,640 Speaker 4: you'll go to war, and you'll send somebody else's kids 191 00:12:43,640 --> 00:12:43,880 Speaker 4: to war. 192 00:12:43,880 --> 00:12:46,320 Speaker 3: If you want war so much, wanna you join? 193 00:12:49,080 --> 00:12:53,120 Speaker 4: Throughout history you're always sending somebody else's kid to war. 194 00:12:55,200 --> 00:12:58,600 Speaker 4: That's how this works. So to the left and to 195 00:12:58,640 --> 00:13:00,760 Speaker 4: the woke right, you are a bunch of cowards. 196 00:13:02,160 --> 00:13:02,600 Speaker 3: You're right. 197 00:13:03,000 --> 00:13:06,000 Speaker 4: I never served. I never put on the uniform. That 198 00:13:06,360 --> 00:13:09,760 Speaker 4: is not what it takes to recognize that there are 199 00:13:09,880 --> 00:13:12,959 Speaker 4: moments and people who do put on the uniform do 200 00:13:13,120 --> 00:13:13,840 Speaker 4: recognize this. 201 00:13:14,320 --> 00:13:16,000 Speaker 3: And I am sorry. 202 00:13:15,679 --> 00:13:18,840 Speaker 4: To say that it is very clear over the last 203 00:13:18,960 --> 00:13:22,360 Speaker 4: years or decades, we have done a terrible job in 204 00:13:22,360 --> 00:13:25,880 Speaker 4: the military of bringing on the right people to engage 205 00:13:25,880 --> 00:13:29,480 Speaker 4: in the right conversation about the fight. In general, you 206 00:13:29,559 --> 00:13:33,240 Speaker 4: are always sending somebody else's kid to do the fight. 207 00:13:33,559 --> 00:13:35,920 Speaker 4: I didn't say do it for light and transient causes. 208 00:13:36,000 --> 00:13:37,880 Speaker 4: I didn't say it do it on a whim. I 209 00:13:37,880 --> 00:13:42,320 Speaker 4: didn't say do it half asked. But the idea that 210 00:13:42,360 --> 00:13:44,400 Speaker 4: you're not going to send somebody else's kid, Oh, we 211 00:13:44,400 --> 00:13:46,600 Speaker 4: can't do that at somebody else's kid. No, you can't 212 00:13:46,600 --> 00:13:49,000 Speaker 4: be a part of that somebody else's kid. It's always 213 00:13:49,000 --> 00:13:52,320 Speaker 4: somebody else's kid. And that's why they sign up, because 214 00:13:52,360 --> 00:13:54,560 Speaker 4: they know it could be them. But they're a different 215 00:13:54,559 --> 00:13:57,000 Speaker 4: breed and they're special, or at least they should be. 216 00:13:58,800 --> 00:14:00,760 Speaker 4: You see the people coming out now, Oh I would 217 00:14:00,800 --> 00:14:03,280 Speaker 4: never do that. Oh you're sending somebody else's kid. It's 218 00:14:03,440 --> 00:14:06,760 Speaker 4: always somebody else's kid. Get your head out of wherever 219 00:14:06,800 --> 00:14:09,120 Speaker 4: it is and deal with the reality. 220 00:14:09,400 --> 00:14:11,760 Speaker 3: You absolute cowards. 221 00:14:14,200 --> 00:14:19,200 Speaker 4: The Iranian regime is a threat, The Ayatola is a threat. 222 00:14:21,720 --> 00:14:26,600 Speaker 4: The Ayahtola had to go, and I'd appreciate it very 223 00:14:26,720 --> 00:14:32,040 Speaker 4: very much if everybody would grow up and start dealing 224 00:14:32,040 --> 00:14:40,440 Speaker 4: with reality. This is the reality The reality is the 225 00:14:40,480 --> 00:14:42,840 Speaker 4: Iranian people now have a chance. They got to take 226 00:14:42,880 --> 00:14:46,720 Speaker 4: it for themselves. I agree with that, but we should 227 00:14:46,720 --> 00:14:50,040 Speaker 4: be clear. This was a regime change war. 228 00:14:53,640 --> 00:14:54,160 Speaker 3: This was. 229 00:14:56,200 --> 00:14:59,560 Speaker 4: This was a regime change war, and we should not 230 00:14:59,680 --> 00:15:01,880 Speaker 4: kid our ourselves. I know that Pete Haggs at the 231 00:15:01,880 --> 00:15:05,520 Speaker 4: Secretary of War, secretary depends however you want to call it, 232 00:15:05,560 --> 00:15:08,040 Speaker 4: was saying this wasn't regime change, of course, it was 233 00:15:08,560 --> 00:15:09,760 Speaker 4: what are we gonna lie to each other? 234 00:15:10,640 --> 00:15:14,520 Speaker 3: Absolutely not, absolutely not. 235 00:15:17,640 --> 00:15:20,560 Speaker 4: But the woke right and the political left, for very 236 00:15:20,600 --> 00:15:23,440 Speaker 4: different reasons, are both on the wrong side of an argument. 237 00:15:26,840 --> 00:15:29,920 Speaker 4: The political left hates America, the woke right hates Israel, 238 00:15:30,120 --> 00:15:32,040 Speaker 4: and they think that that's the story here. 239 00:15:32,360 --> 00:15:34,800 Speaker 3: It's not.

So disagreeing is 337 00:22:05,600 --> 00:22:09,439 Speaker 4: both kind of the American thing, right, But I'm going 338 00:22:09,520 --> 00:22:14,480 Speaker 4: to get into why. I want to get into why 339 00:22:15,000 --> 00:22:22,439 Speaker 4: this happened. Why is it that this was the moment 340 00:22:23,040 --> 00:22:24,600 Speaker 4: for taking out the regime? 341 00:22:25,000 --> 00:22:29,720 Speaker 3: Why wasn't it when we took out the nuclear. 342 00:22:29,359 --> 00:22:34,240 Speaker 4: Facilities back in what was that July July of twenty 343 00:22:34,320 --> 00:22:42,080 Speaker 4: twenty five. Why didn't we do it then? Why now? Well, 344 00:22:43,320 --> 00:22:50,240 Speaker 4: allow me, this didn't happen just now. This has never 345 00:22:50,280 --> 00:22:58,879 Speaker 4: been happening just now. This has a direct line that 346 00:22:59,119 --> 00:23:04,359 Speaker 4: starts with the Abraham Accords. Everything you are witnessing, everything 347 00:23:04,400 --> 00:23:08,600 Speaker 4: you have just witnessed, has zero to do with just now. 348 00:23:10,680 --> 00:23:14,399 Speaker 4: This was the stage was set for all of this 349 00:23:15,320 --> 00:23:21,480 Speaker 4: with the creation of the Abraham Accords, this complete rethink 350 00:23:22,520 --> 00:23:25,560 Speaker 4: on how the Middle East should deal with itself. What 351 00:23:25,600 --> 00:23:29,000 Speaker 4: the Abraham Accords said, and I'm paraphrasing Hearin Jared Kushner 352 00:23:29,040 --> 00:23:31,480 Speaker 4: is more than welcome to disagree with me if he chose. 353 00:23:34,200 --> 00:23:37,960 Speaker 4: The Abraham Accords say to Arab nations and Muslim nations, 354 00:23:38,040 --> 00:23:42,479 Speaker 4: those in the Middle East, Hey, we get that you 355 00:23:42,520 --> 00:23:43,080 Speaker 4: don't want. 356 00:23:42,960 --> 00:23:45,080 Speaker 3: To do anything with this reel, or work with this reel, 357 00:23:45,160 --> 00:23:47,640 Speaker 3: or even mention Israel. 358 00:23:49,080 --> 00:23:55,119 Speaker 4: Until there is a solution regarding the Palestinians two state solution, 359 00:23:55,240 --> 00:23:57,359 Speaker 4: whatever some people think it should be. There could be 360 00:23:57,359 --> 00:24:00,280 Speaker 4: no two state solution when terrorists are in charge. But 361 00:24:00,280 --> 00:24:02,040 Speaker 4: hopefully the terrorists will be gone soon and then we 362 00:24:02,040 --> 00:24:07,960 Speaker 4: can rethink everything. The Abraham Accord said, instead of well, 363 00:24:08,000 --> 00:24:09,960 Speaker 4: first solve this and then we can get to that, 364 00:24:10,800 --> 00:24:14,359 Speaker 4: it switched those, It flipped those and said, why don't 365 00:24:14,359 --> 00:24:15,439 Speaker 4: we engage in trade? 366 00:24:16,440 --> 00:24:18,479 Speaker 3: Why don't we? Why don't you? And is your own 367 00:24:18,440 --> 00:24:19,320 Speaker 3: engage in trade? 368 00:24:19,440 --> 00:24:23,120 Speaker 4: The US will will absolutely be supportive of all this, 369 00:24:23,520 --> 00:24:28,080 Speaker 4: and then through trade and tourism and building up some relationships, 370 00:24:28,680 --> 00:24:32,040 Speaker 4: we can then all come to a understanding of what 371 00:24:32,080 --> 00:24:32,840 Speaker 4: we could do here. 372 00:24:33,040 --> 00:24:34,280 Speaker 3: And remember these. 373 00:24:34,080 --> 00:24:37,719 Speaker 4: Palestinians, they're really ethnically from all of your countries. You 374 00:24:37,760 --> 00:24:46,440 Speaker 4: just won't take them back. And some nations said, yep, yeah, 375 00:24:46,440 --> 00:24:49,879 Speaker 4: we're good with that, because the other way was getting 376 00:24:49,880 --> 00:24:54,640 Speaker 4: them nowhere. The other way was getting them nowhere. This 377 00:24:54,760 --> 00:24:57,639 Speaker 4: idea that only the two state solution could solve things, 378 00:24:58,040 --> 00:24:59,639 Speaker 4: that's what happens. 379 00:25:01,280 --> 00:25:04,080 Speaker 3: That's what happens when. 380 00:25:03,840 --> 00:25:07,840 Speaker 4: You have Ivy League elites deciding your foreign policy, it 381 00:25:07,880 --> 00:25:12,600 Speaker 4: would seem it was only one way. It was only 382 00:25:12,640 --> 00:25:15,960 Speaker 4: this way. It could only be discussed through this point 383 00:25:16,000 --> 00:25:18,760 Speaker 4: of view, through this argument. And to his credit and 384 00:25:18,760 --> 00:25:20,560 Speaker 4: by the way, the credit of other people who've engaged 385 00:25:20,600 --> 00:25:25,200 Speaker 4: conversations like this, Donald Trump said, no, we can think 386 00:25:25,200 --> 00:25:28,719 Speaker 4: of this in another way. Why don't we try it 387 00:25:28,840 --> 00:25:35,679 Speaker 4: like this? And to the credit of Jared Kushner, he 388 00:25:35,760 --> 00:25:39,920 Speaker 4: did a very good job selling it. The Abraham Accords 389 00:25:39,960 --> 00:25:43,919 Speaker 4: start going into effect. Now understand that the people in 390 00:25:43,960 --> 00:25:46,560 Speaker 4: the group this hurt most and affected most was the 391 00:25:46,600 --> 00:25:51,960 Speaker 4: Iranian regime. The Iranian regime gets affected because they're the 392 00:25:51,960 --> 00:25:53,959 Speaker 4: ones who want to be the hegemonic power, and they 393 00:25:54,000 --> 00:25:56,240 Speaker 4: want to do so not through leadership, but through fear. 394 00:25:56,560 --> 00:25:59,040 Speaker 4: Will bomb you, here, will attack you, here, we'll engage 395 00:25:59,040 --> 00:26:01,720 Speaker 4: a terrorist organization, and here because they have this oil 396 00:26:01,720 --> 00:26:06,440 Speaker 4: money that they're willing to spend on it. This affected 397 00:26:06,480 --> 00:26:11,000 Speaker 4: them greatly because it took away their largest Trump cart 398 00:26:11,320 --> 00:26:12,240 Speaker 4: and didn't mean Trump that. 399 00:26:12,200 --> 00:26:13,399 Speaker 3: Way, but you get what I'm saying. 400 00:26:13,880 --> 00:26:19,040 Speaker 4: It took away their ability to threaten because now, well, 401 00:26:19,080 --> 00:26:20,360 Speaker 4: hey America, I'm. 402 00:26:20,200 --> 00:26:22,119 Speaker 3: Now doing this deal with Israel. And you said you 403 00:26:22,119 --> 00:26:22,480 Speaker 3: would be. 404 00:26:22,440 --> 00:26:25,119 Speaker 4: Supportive of it, and here's the Iranians threatening me, where's 405 00:26:25,160 --> 00:26:28,919 Speaker 4: my help? The other nations of the Middle East know 406 00:26:29,080 --> 00:26:33,480 Speaker 4: that the Iranians, the Iranian regime, was the problem. They 407 00:26:33,520 --> 00:26:35,520 Speaker 4: were the ones stirring up the crap. They were the 408 00:26:35,520 --> 00:26:37,679 Speaker 4: ones creating the issues. They were the ones engaging in 409 00:26:37,680 --> 00:26:40,080 Speaker 4: the violence. They were the ones engaging in the destabilization 410 00:26:40,440 --> 00:26:43,879 Speaker 4: and engaging in basically a threatening pose and posture to 411 00:26:44,040 --> 00:26:50,119 Speaker 4: other Muslim and Arab nations. Abraham Accords now draw the 412 00:26:50,119 --> 00:26:57,600 Speaker 4: line to October seventh, twenty twenty three. The Iranians, sorry, 413 00:26:57,680 --> 00:27:03,119 Speaker 4: the Iranian regime through their proc see Humas attack, Israelis 414 00:27:03,240 --> 00:27:06,959 Speaker 4: killed twelve hundred, Israelis kill American citizens, kill Thai nationals, 415 00:27:07,280 --> 00:27:13,399 Speaker 4: rape women, set children on fire, and take hostages. And 416 00:27:13,480 --> 00:27:16,280 Speaker 4: the Israelis do something. 417 00:27:15,960 --> 00:27:17,840 Speaker 3: They haven't done in. 418 00:27:19,400 --> 00:27:24,880 Speaker 4: Well, maybe since nineteen forty eight, one car you, maybe 419 00:27:24,880 --> 00:27:28,280 Speaker 4: since the Sixth Day War, although that was only six days. 420 00:27:29,040 --> 00:27:33,840 Speaker 4: They don't stop. We have lived through enough of this 421 00:27:34,080 --> 00:27:37,679 Speaker 4: to note that Israel gets hit, they hit back. The 422 00:27:37,720 --> 00:27:40,320 Speaker 4: world says, what do you think you're doing. It's not 423 00:27:40,440 --> 00:27:48,160 Speaker 4: in proportion, and Israel stops. Israel didn't stop, and nation 424 00:27:48,280 --> 00:27:52,360 Speaker 4: said you have to stop, and Israel said, nah, these 425 00:27:52,359 --> 00:27:56,359 Speaker 4: people are gonna die. These terrorists are going to die. 426 00:27:56,600 --> 00:28:01,120 Speaker 4: We're done trying. By the way, that wasn't just bebie 427 00:28:01,280 --> 00:28:09,919 Speaker 4: Benjamintt and Yahoo, that wasn't just the Likud. That was 428 00:28:10,000 --> 00:28:13,840 Speaker 4: the whole of Israel, from a lot to the goal 429 00:28:13,920 --> 00:28:14,520 Speaker 4: on heights. 430 00:28:15,560 --> 00:28:19,960 Speaker 3: We're done with these people. Mount up, everybody. 431 00:28:20,320 --> 00:28:22,680 Speaker 4: You know what it is to be a September twelfth American. 432 00:28:24,000 --> 00:28:28,639 Speaker 4: These were October eighth Israelis. They went from being a 433 00:28:28,680 --> 00:28:31,040 Speaker 4: country that no one was allowed to have a gun 434 00:28:31,080 --> 00:28:33,119 Speaker 4: if they weren't serving in the military, to the country 435 00:28:33,200 --> 00:28:35,160 Speaker 4: said Okay, everybody can have a gun. Now, we're gonna 436 00:28:35,160 --> 00:28:37,720 Speaker 4: limit the amount of ammunition because they didn't want terrorists 437 00:28:37,760 --> 00:28:40,880 Speaker 4: being able to break into homes and get more firearms. 438 00:28:42,120 --> 00:28:45,800 Speaker 4: And people started carrying everywhere. We're done with these people, 439 00:28:46,040 --> 00:28:50,120 Speaker 4: said the Israelis. And they kept going, and they kept going. 440 00:28:50,400 --> 00:28:54,080 Speaker 4: And when Joe Biden and his leftist low life cronies 441 00:28:54,080 --> 00:28:56,760 Speaker 4: in that administration said we're gonna do this and we're 442 00:28:56,800 --> 00:28:59,520 Speaker 4: going to do that, what they said was what the 443 00:28:59,560 --> 00:29:02,880 Speaker 4: Israeli said was you do what you gotta do. Joey, 444 00:29:03,480 --> 00:29:06,640 Speaker 4: By the way, we know you're not in charge we're 445 00:29:06,680 --> 00:29:16,120 Speaker 4: gonna keep going. And that changed the perception. No one's 446 00:29:16,120 --> 00:29:18,880 Speaker 4: putting up with this terrorism anymore. No one's putting up 447 00:29:18,880 --> 00:29:22,240 Speaker 4: with this regime anymore. And you'll note all of these 448 00:29:22,360 --> 00:29:25,600 Speaker 4: Muslim and Arab nations they may have said, oh, I 449 00:29:25,600 --> 00:29:28,000 Speaker 4: can't believe Israel is doing this, none of them put 450 00:29:28,080 --> 00:29:32,760 Speaker 4: up a troop to stop it, because they want the 451 00:29:32,760 --> 00:29:40,240 Speaker 4: Iranian regime gone to which brings us to the Board 452 00:29:40,280 --> 00:29:46,720 Speaker 4: of Peace, the dumbest name that has ever existed ever, 453 00:29:48,840 --> 00:29:54,400 Speaker 4: the Board of Peace, which is about the rebuilding of Gaza. 454 00:29:54,440 --> 00:29:55,760 Speaker 3: Here are all these nations. 455 00:29:55,800 --> 00:29:57,240 Speaker 4: You're gonna put in a billion, you're gonna put in 456 00:29:57,280 --> 00:29:58,960 Speaker 4: two hundred million, you're gonna put in this, you're gonna 457 00:29:58,960 --> 00:30:00,400 Speaker 4: put in that, you're gonna put in this, you're gonna 458 00:30:00,400 --> 00:30:04,120 Speaker 4: put in the other. So now they're going to invest 459 00:30:04,160 --> 00:30:06,960 Speaker 4: who rebuild Gaza. That's called having skin in the game. 460 00:30:07,840 --> 00:30:11,800 Speaker 4: And here's this terrorist organization trying to rebuild their nuclear 461 00:30:11,880 --> 00:30:17,480 Speaker 4: capability and still supporting terrorism. I can't have them having 462 00:30:17,560 --> 00:30:20,080 Speaker 4: terrorists where I'm putting in my investment. 463 00:30:21,200 --> 00:30:22,640 Speaker 3: I gotta protect my investment. 464 00:30:23,360 --> 00:30:25,560 Speaker 4: Stop thinking of the border piece as the border piece, 465 00:30:25,920 --> 00:30:29,040 Speaker 4: Stop thinking of the start thinking of the border piece 466 00:30:29,320 --> 00:30:30,240 Speaker 4: in the following way. 467 00:30:30,520 --> 00:30:33,040 Speaker 3: It is not about a boarder piece. 468 00:30:33,320 --> 00:30:37,160 Speaker 4: The border piece is a mafia family working with other 469 00:30:37,240 --> 00:30:41,280 Speaker 4: mafia families, divvying up the land and saying, who's. 470 00:30:41,040 --> 00:30:42,200 Speaker 3: Gonna protect two from what? 471 00:30:42,640 --> 00:30:44,640 Speaker 4: You've got the cops and you've got the judges, and 472 00:30:44,680 --> 00:30:46,160 Speaker 4: you've got this one.

This is about money. 494 00:32:11,960 --> 00:32:12,040 Speaker 3: Now. 495 00:32:12,120 --> 00:32:18,440 Speaker 4: It's also about safety and security, but this is about money. 496 00:32:19,240 --> 00:32:22,840 Speaker 4: This is about Muslim and Arab nations wanting to protect 497 00:32:23,080 --> 00:32:24,160 Speaker 4: their investment. 498 00:32:26,680 --> 00:32:28,040 Speaker 3: Israel talking to me about. 499 00:32:27,800 --> 00:32:31,400 Speaker 4: The problem that Iran is for decades didn't move the needle, 500 00:32:31,720 --> 00:32:34,080 Speaker 4: but five or six Muslim and Arab nations saying you know, 501 00:32:34,360 --> 00:32:41,840 Speaker 4: these Jews ain't necessarily wrong. Good fuckoom, goodbye Ayatola. It's 502 00:32:41,840 --> 00:32:46,920 Speaker 4: a straight line from the Abraham Accords to the border piece. 503 00:32:48,400 --> 00:32:52,560 Speaker 4: And that is why the Ayahtola is dead today and 504 00:32:52,640 --> 00:32:54,160 Speaker 4: hopefully will be dead tomorrow. 505 00:32:55,040 --> 00:32:55,920 Speaker 3: I'm Tony Katz. 506 00:32:56,320 --> 00:33:00,440 Speaker 4: Never have a moment where a Communists can't say something 507 00:33:01,200 --> 00:33:03,000 Speaker 4: unbelievably stupid. 508 00:33:03,800 --> 00:33:08,240 Speaker 6: Today's military strikes by the United States and Israel marque 509 00:33:08,760 --> 00:33:13,400 Speaker 6: catastrophic escalation in an illegal act of war of aggression, 510 00:33:14,280 --> 00:33:18,480 Speaker 6: bombing cities, killing civilians opening up a new theater of war. 511 00:33:18,880 --> 00:33:21,960 Speaker 6: Americans do not want this. Americans do not want another 512 00:33:21,960 --> 00:33:23,600 Speaker 6: war in pursuit of regime change. 513 00:33:23,840 --> 00:33:25,960 Speaker 3: Shut up, you, dumb commie loser. 514 00:33:28,480 --> 00:33:37,400 Speaker 4: Dumb commie loser, you let people freeze to death.

You hate the place. 517 00:33:48,400 --> 00:33:51,520 Speaker 4: The left has made this so perfectly clear that they 518 00:33:51,600 --> 00:33:57,440 Speaker 4: hate the place. Tony Katz, Tony Kats today, good to 519 00:33:57,480 --> 00:34:02,040 Speaker 4: be with you, really good. There's a lot of good 520 00:34:02,040 --> 00:34:05,640 Speaker 4: stuff happening in the chat room today. But this is 521 00:34:05,640 --> 00:34:08,360 Speaker 4: a good question. Is Africa not play a part in China? 522 00:34:08,680 --> 00:34:11,880 Speaker 4: I am going to get into how China is affected 523 00:34:11,920 --> 00:34:16,319 Speaker 4: by everything that has happened via the United States since 524 00:34:17,040 --> 00:34:21,400 Speaker 4: our foreign policy in the last three months. I am 525 00:34:21,440 --> 00:34:24,000 Speaker 4: going to break this down. By the way, speaking of they, 526 00:34:24,920 --> 00:34:30,080 Speaker 4: did you hear Rashida Talib? Did you hear Rashida Talib 527 00:34:30,640 --> 00:34:33,280 Speaker 4: refer to the United States where she is a member 528 00:34:33,320 --> 00:34:36,520 Speaker 4: of Congress and took an oath to uphold and defend 529 00:34:36,560 --> 00:34:39,799 Speaker 4: the Constitution. Did you hear where she referred to the 530 00:34:39,920 --> 00:34:47,279 Speaker 4: US as they? And I don't think she was talking pronouns. 531 00:34:50,080 --> 00:34:53,640 Speaker 4: Does Africa not play a part in China. There's a 532 00:34:53,680 --> 00:35:00,960 Speaker 4: real worthy discussion here about how a lot of focus 533 00:35:01,000 --> 00:35:02,759 Speaker 4: is given to the Middle East and for a lot 534 00:35:02,760 --> 00:35:05,840 Speaker 4: of reasons, and oil being one of those reasons, religious 535 00:35:05,840 --> 00:35:09,520 Speaker 4: being another one of those reasons. But Africa doesn't get 536 00:35:09,719 --> 00:35:14,879 Speaker 4: enough of our attention. And it is true, how does 537 00:35:14,920 --> 00:35:16,320 Speaker 4: Africa play a part in China? 538 00:35:16,360 --> 00:35:18,760 Speaker 3: Well, a huge one as a matter. 539 00:35:18,640 --> 00:35:21,200 Speaker 4: Of fact, and I will try and fold that into 540 00:35:21,239 --> 00:35:25,080 Speaker 4: the conversation. Meanwhile, the lefty reaction to everything happening in Iran, 541 00:35:25,160 --> 00:35:26,000 Speaker 4: that's coming up next. 542 00:35:26,080 --> 00:35:27,960 Speaker 3: Keep it here. This is Tony Kats. 543 00:35:27,719 --> 00:35:39,239 Speaker 1: Today, line from vall Hartbiner and The Crossroads of America. 544 00:35:39,560 --> 00:35:48,759 Speaker 1: It's Tony cats Today. 545 00:35:50,719 --> 00:35:57,040 Speaker 4: You take Nicholas Maduro out of power, the drugs into 546 00:35:57,040 --> 00:35:59,719 Speaker 4: the United States, never mind the horror show he is 547 00:35:59,719 --> 00:36:04,440 Speaker 4: for the Venezuelan's the Venezuelan people cheer, and American liberals say, 548 00:36:04,480 --> 00:36:10,240 Speaker 4: how dare you? It was a fine example of how 549 00:36:10,280 --> 00:36:16,279 Speaker 4: completely out of touch the American left is really a 550 00:36:16,520 --> 00:36:20,960 Speaker 4: broken group of people, people who do not see the 551 00:36:20,960 --> 00:36:26,000 Speaker 4: country the way we do. As Kendrick explained, they not 552 00:36:26,200 --> 00:36:31,560 Speaker 4: like us, They really aren't. Tony Katz, Tony Katz Today, 553 00:36:31,600 --> 00:36:33,319 Speaker 4: good to be here, good to be with You find 554 00:36:33,320 --> 00:36:48,160 Speaker 4: everything at tonykats dot com. Angry upset, infuriated that we 555 00:36:48,200 --> 00:36:52,640 Speaker 4: would make a move on Nicholas Bodureau, who took over 556 00:36:52,719 --> 00:36:55,400 Speaker 4: for Hugo Shavez in that regime. And the people of 557 00:36:55,480 --> 00:36:58,880 Speaker 4: Venezuela have lived in hell, well Tony, the people of 558 00:36:58,920 --> 00:37:01,320 Speaker 4: Venezuela having a hard time. It's not necessarily our fault, 559 00:37:01,400 --> 00:37:04,399 Speaker 4: is it. It's not our problem, is it. I didn't 560 00:37:04,400 --> 00:37:06,799 Speaker 4: say it was our fault. I didn't necessarily say it 561 00:37:06,880 --> 00:37:09,440 Speaker 4: was our problem. But I don't think there's anything wrong 562 00:37:09,680 --> 00:37:12,080 Speaker 4: with getting a drug runner stop running the drugs. I 563 00:37:12,120 --> 00:37:14,440 Speaker 4: didn't think there's anything wrong with taking out the drug 564 00:37:14,480 --> 00:37:20,960 Speaker 4: boats either, And the precision with which that operation was 565 00:37:21,080 --> 00:37:27,880 Speaker 4: undertaken foggles the mind. It was incredibly well done, and 566 00:37:27,960 --> 00:37:30,960 Speaker 4: part of the operation's purpose was to show the world 567 00:37:31,360 --> 00:37:33,879 Speaker 4: what we can do. And you can argue the same 568 00:37:33,920 --> 00:37:36,680 Speaker 4: thing is true about what it is you're seeing in 569 00:37:36,800 --> 00:37:41,440 Speaker 4: around the President, by the way, stating that things are 570 00:37:41,440 --> 00:37:46,840 Speaker 4: progressing faster than expected and any threat will be crushed 571 00:37:47,120 --> 00:37:53,920 Speaker 4: whatever it takes, which is the proper argument. It's not 572 00:37:53,960 --> 00:37:56,280 Speaker 4: only the arguments to show the rest of the world 573 00:37:56,520 --> 00:37:59,200 Speaker 4: that when we say we're going to do something, we're 574 00:37:59,200 --> 00:38:02,319 Speaker 4: not stopping it till it is done. It is an 575 00:38:02,400 --> 00:38:05,760 Speaker 4: argument to the rest of America that, yeah, we really 576 00:38:05,800 --> 00:38:08,200 Speaker 4: do know how to do this if we actually go 577 00:38:08,280 --> 00:38:11,399 Speaker 4: about doing it, and now adults are in the room 578 00:38:11,680 --> 00:38:14,320 Speaker 4: handling the thing, and allow me to say, thank goodness, 579 00:38:14,360 --> 00:38:17,680 Speaker 4: we have adults in the room. When you don't have 580 00:38:17,760 --> 00:38:23,080 Speaker 4: adults in the room, you get Jimmy Carter. When you 581 00:38:23,120 --> 00:38:25,920 Speaker 4: don't have adults in the room, you leave billions of 582 00:38:25,960 --> 00:38:29,880 Speaker 4: dollars of hardware to the Taliban as you make a 583 00:38:29,960 --> 00:38:33,719 Speaker 4: hasty exit and lead to thirteen Americans deaths that you 584 00:38:33,760 --> 00:38:36,680 Speaker 4: don't care enough about, so when their bodies arrive home, 585 00:38:36,680 --> 00:38:41,600 Speaker 4: you're looking at your watch. Joe Biden should never be 586 00:38:41,640 --> 00:38:47,080 Speaker 4: able to live that one down. Adults in the room matter. 587 00:38:55,440 --> 00:39:03,439 Speaker 4: The Left constantly show itself to not be like us, 588 00:39:04,360 --> 00:39:14,440 Speaker 4: to be holy and completely an American. We start with 589 00:39:14,560 --> 00:39:19,360 Speaker 4: just some of the basic reactions to what happened in Iran, 590 00:39:20,000 --> 00:39:23,480 Speaker 4: where George Conway, who is famous for having sex with 591 00:39:23,600 --> 00:39:29,200 Speaker 4: Kelly and Conway and having no other discernible skills, but 592 00:39:29,280 --> 00:39:31,440 Speaker 4: he's a darling of the Left because he hates Trump. 593 00:39:31,920 --> 00:39:36,640 Speaker 4: He actually put out on social media. Perhaps the terrorist 594 00:39:36,640 --> 00:39:41,040 Speaker 4: state with nuclear weapons is the United States of America. 595 00:39:42,880 --> 00:39:48,040 Speaker 4: At that moment, you realize you're not dealing with rational people, 596 00:39:49,400 --> 00:39:55,120 Speaker 4: You're not dealing with normal people. You're dealing with anti 597 00:39:55,239 --> 00:39:59,239 Speaker 4: American zealots. And that's what George Conway is and that's 598 00:39:59,280 --> 00:40:03,040 Speaker 4: where today's American's American left is. That's who they are. 599 00:40:04,320 --> 00:40:08,719 Speaker 4: It is an Unamerican point of view and an Unamerican 600 00:40:08,840 --> 00:40:09,680 Speaker 4: group of people. 601 00:40:10,760 --> 00:40:14,279 Speaker 3: I do not argue with the people or have an. 602 00:40:14,160 --> 00:40:16,760 Speaker 4: Issue I should say with the people who say, well, 603 00:40:16,880 --> 00:40:19,040 Speaker 4: the problem here is that the president didn't declare war, 604 00:40:20,120 --> 00:40:23,200 Speaker 4: and when Congress needs to declare war. I don't disagree 605 00:40:23,200 --> 00:40:26,480 Speaker 4: that Congress needs to declare war. However, it should be 606 00:40:26,520 --> 00:40:29,040 Speaker 4: noted that the president is well within his rights via 607 00:40:29,040 --> 00:40:30,000 Speaker 4: the War Powers Act. 608 00:40:30,719 --> 00:40:32,160 Speaker 3: He is allowed to engage. 609 00:40:32,160 --> 00:40:34,440 Speaker 4: He has to notify Congress within forty eight hours of 610 00:40:34,480 --> 00:40:37,280 Speaker 4: what has happened, which is what he is doing today, 611 00:40:37,600 --> 00:40:40,520 Speaker 4: and he has sixty days to wrap up operations or 612 00:40:40,560 --> 00:40:43,920 Speaker 4: ask for a declaration of war from Congress. A Congress 613 00:40:44,040 --> 00:40:47,200 Speaker 4: where you cannot be sure these leftists and Thomas Massey 614 00:40:47,200 --> 00:40:53,440 Speaker 4: would deliver. Thomas Massey wants to make the argument that 615 00:40:53,480 --> 00:40:56,920 Speaker 4: Iran is not a threat. Thomas Massey is wrong. Thomas 616 00:40:56,960 --> 00:41:01,239 Speaker 4: Massey wants to make an argument regarding economics. Sometimes he's right, 617 00:41:03,080 --> 00:41:06,319 Speaker 4: But on every conversation on foreign policy over these last 618 00:41:06,320 --> 00:41:11,080 Speaker 4: couple of years, Thomas Massey has failed. I don't know 619 00:41:11,080 --> 00:41:12,600 Speaker 4: if you want to call it the woke right or 620 00:41:12,760 --> 00:41:17,040 Speaker 4: just ridiculous, but he's wrong in this argument. Now, if 621 00:41:17,040 --> 00:41:19,240 Speaker 4: Congress wants to go about changing the war powers, actor 622 00:41:19,239 --> 00:41:23,839 Speaker 4: more than welcome to. But so far President Trump is 623 00:41:23,920 --> 00:41:29,879 Speaker 4: absolutely within his authority. But we now go through a 624 00:41:30,080 --> 00:41:37,759 Speaker 4: series of moments here, a series of statements made by 625 00:41:37,920 --> 00:41:42,200 Speaker 4: progressives that show that they not like us, and what 626 00:41:42,320 --> 00:41:47,840 Speaker 4: they favor and what they believe in is not America. 627 00:41:47,920 --> 00:41:53,200 Speaker 4: On top, this is George Stephanopolis asking the question of 628 00:41:53,320 --> 00:41:56,960 Speaker 4: Adam Schiff, the senator from California, NA to a comedy 629 00:41:57,080 --> 00:42:00,279 Speaker 4: letter regime that brutalizes its own people, watch attack. 630 00:42:00,520 --> 00:42:03,000 Speaker 3: Around the world for almost forty years. 631 00:42:03,239 --> 00:42:04,839 Speaker 4: So is the president right to take him out? 632 00:42:07,680 --> 00:42:11,239 Speaker 3: No, you're right about the Ietola. He was a brutal dictator. 633 00:42:11,520 --> 00:42:14,479 Speaker 7: This is a murderous regime, but at the same time 634 00:42:14,520 --> 00:42:17,520 Speaker 7: it posed no imminent threat of attack to the United States. 635 00:42:19,080 --> 00:42:21,480 Speaker 3: What in the world is this talk of imminent threat. 636 00:42:21,520 --> 00:42:24,080 Speaker 4: Even Andy McCarthy in the pages of National Review is like, 637 00:42:24,120 --> 00:42:27,600 Speaker 4: what in the world does that even mean? Adam Schiff 638 00:42:27,640 --> 00:42:31,239 Speaker 4: wants a standard to exist that doesn't exist. 639 00:42:33,280 --> 00:42:36,720 Speaker 3: At what moment is the threat from the regime imminent? 640 00:42:37,600 --> 00:42:41,040 Speaker 4: When they've built the nuclear weapon or when the ayatola 641 00:42:41,160 --> 00:42:43,239 Speaker 4: is just bringing his finger down. 642 00:42:43,000 --> 00:42:44,760 Speaker 3: To press the button? At what moment? 643 00:42:44,840 --> 00:42:49,000 Speaker 4: At what moment in the descent of the pointer finger 644 00:42:49,640 --> 00:42:51,719 Speaker 4: is is it imminent or is it just gonna be 645 00:42:51,719 --> 00:42:53,800 Speaker 4: a fist down he use his thumb. 646 00:42:54,040 --> 00:42:57,160 Speaker 3: I don't know, pick your digit. At what moment is 647 00:42:57,200 --> 00:43:00,400 Speaker 3: it imminent? Senator? Chef? 648 00:43:00,800 --> 00:43:05,400 Speaker 4: Senator, aren't you embarrassed? California should be damn well embarrassed? 649 00:43:05,560 --> 00:43:10,640 Speaker 4: You elected a schmuck imminent threat? How about the idea 650 00:43:10,680 --> 00:43:13,200 Speaker 4: that you take out the threat before it becomes imminent? 651 00:43:13,640 --> 00:43:17,319 Speaker 4: You absolute fool. Do you cut out the cancer when 652 00:43:17,360 --> 00:43:20,080 Speaker 4: you first hear about it, or right at the moment 653 00:43:20,280 --> 00:43:23,720 Speaker 4: where all the chemo has failed and you're just three days. 654 00:43:23,560 --> 00:43:36,759 Speaker 3: Away from death? At what moment that shift? Then you 655 00:43:36,880 --> 00:43:39,080 Speaker 3: get to the New York Times. 656 00:43:39,239 --> 00:43:42,800 Speaker 4: Oh, you can never go wrong with the New York Times. 657 00:43:42,840 --> 00:43:47,560 Speaker 4: Ladies and gentlemen, They'll never let you down.

No, that's not it's not proper English. It 705 00:47:32,400 --> 00:47:35,960 Speaker 4: doesn't matter. Let's do this again.

Maybe there 715 00:48:17,280 --> 00:48:20,479 Speaker 4: was a lie told and maybe for violating the oath, 716 00:48:20,719 --> 00:48:26,200 Speaker 4: you gotta go by the way, Dearborn, we see you, 717 00:48:26,480 --> 00:48:30,520 Speaker 4: and we've also heard some of your religious leaders.

Today Qatar has now down two 767 00:51:44,040 --> 00:51:49,680 Speaker 4: Iranian fighters Qatar, which absolutely would have been on the. 768 00:51:49,680 --> 00:51:51,560 Speaker 3: Side of Iran. 769 00:51:52,000 --> 00:51:56,000 Speaker 4: I remember, I am not a quitar guy. The amount 770 00:51:56,040 --> 00:51:58,160 Speaker 4: of money they spend lobbying the United States, the amount 771 00:51:58,160 --> 00:52:03,160 Speaker 4: of money they're putting into US university is a serious issue, 772 00:52:03,680 --> 00:52:07,760 Speaker 4: is Qatar. Tony Katz, Tony Katz today, good to be here, guys, 773 00:52:08,080 --> 00:52:14,040 Speaker 4: thank you for being here. But Qatar has now shot 774 00:52:14,120 --> 00:52:17,520 Speaker 4: down two SU twenty four aircraft coming from the Islamic 775 00:52:17,520 --> 00:52:21,560 Speaker 4: Republic of Iran. They intercepted, according to their statements, seven 776 00:52:21,600 --> 00:52:26,640 Speaker 4: ballistic missiles to air defenses, intercepted five drones via the 777 00:52:27,480 --> 00:52:32,279 Speaker 4: Kaar Emery Air Force and naval forces. 778 00:52:33,080 --> 00:52:39,880 Speaker 3: Qatar. Maybe we're right and that. 779 00:52:41,680 --> 00:52:45,600 Speaker 4: The Middle East sees a whole different point of view here, 780 00:52:47,040 --> 00:52:51,560 Speaker 4: one where the Iranian military, the Iranian terrorists are no 781 00:52:51,640 --> 00:52:56,600 Speaker 4: longer necessary, I should say, not military terrorists, where the 782 00:52:56,640 --> 00:52:59,759 Speaker 4: Iranian people get to live free and everybody else gets 783 00:52:59,760 --> 00:53:01,719 Speaker 4: to make a whole boatload of money and doesn't have 784 00:53:01,760 --> 00:53:03,880 Speaker 4: to have this adversary of relationship with the United States 785 00:53:03,920 --> 00:53:08,560 Speaker 4: or anybody else. And I think this upsets the left greatly, 786 00:53:10,360 --> 00:53:13,640 Speaker 4: because how in the world do you further the conversation 787 00:53:13,800 --> 00:53:17,000 Speaker 4: of America terrible, America, bad, that the left so desperately, 788 00:53:17,200 --> 00:53:22,080 Speaker 4: desperately want when the rest of the world is working 789 00:53:22,120 --> 00:53:25,200 Speaker 4: with you. It doesn't mean that we shouldn't be keeping 790 00:53:25,200 --> 00:53:28,080 Speaker 4: an eye on things. And I say, Katar is an issue, 791 00:53:29,400 --> 00:53:33,520 Speaker 4: a real issue, but I think we need to keep 792 00:53:33,560 --> 00:53:39,520 Speaker 4: oni an eye on Saudi Arabia too. But if they're 793 00:53:39,520 --> 00:53:41,800 Speaker 4: not going to be bombing US, attacking US, engaging in 794 00:53:41,920 --> 00:53:48,920 Speaker 4: terrorism against US or our forces, et cetera, Okay, listen, No, 795 00:53:49,520 --> 00:53:51,920 Speaker 4: I'll never understand your way of life.

Every time you see someone with missing arms 828 00:56:08,040 --> 00:56:12,400 Speaker 2: and legs, for a face that's been absolutely shattered violently, 829 00:56:13,280 --> 00:56:17,960 Speaker 2: it was almost certainly caused by an Iran roadside bomb. 830 00:56:18,840 --> 00:56:25,400 Speaker 2: They were put thereby General Solomony, who was the father 831 00:56:25,520 --> 00:56:26,640 Speaker 2: of the roadside bomb. 832 00:56:26,719 --> 00:56:31,160 Speaker 3: Very proudly he thought, but I terminated him and. 833 00:56:32,840 --> 00:56:37,040 Speaker 2: My first term, this was our last best chance to 834 00:56:37,080 --> 00:56:41,000 Speaker 2: strike what we're doing right now and eliminate the intolerable 835 00:56:41,080 --> 00:56:46,279 Speaker 2: threats posed by this sick and sinister regime, and they 836 00:56:46,320 --> 00:56:48,520 Speaker 2: are indeed sick and sinister. 837 00:56:49,200 --> 00:56:50,479 Speaker 3: Our objectives are clear. 838 00:56:50,560 --> 00:56:56,200 Speaker 2: First, were destroying orends missile capabilities, and you see that 839 00:56:56,320 --> 00:56:59,680 Speaker 2: happening on an hourly basis, and their capacity to produce 840 00:57:00,400 --> 00:57:03,760 Speaker 2: brand new ones and pretty good ones they make. Second, 841 00:57:03,880 --> 00:57:08,280 Speaker 2: we're annihilating their navy. We've knocked out already ten ships 842 00:57:09,520 --> 00:57:12,400 Speaker 2: there at the bottom of the sea. Third, we're ensuring 843 00:57:12,480 --> 00:57:17,040 Speaker 2: that the world's number one sponsor of terra can never 844 00:57:17,120 --> 00:57:18,600 Speaker 2: obtain a nuclear weapon. 845 00:57:18,800 --> 00:57:20,680 Speaker 3: Never going to have a nuclear weapon. I said that 846 00:57:20,680 --> 00:57:23,880 Speaker 3: from the beginning. They're never going to have a nuclear weapon. 847 00:57:23,920 --> 00:57:28,080 Speaker 2: They were in the road to getting one legitimately through 848 00:57:28,120 --> 00:57:33,600 Speaker 2: a deal that was signed foolishly by our country. And finally, 849 00:57:33,600 --> 00:57:37,720 Speaker 2: we're ensuring that the Iranian regime cannot continue to arm, 850 00:57:37,840 --> 00:57:43,880 Speaker 2: fund and direct heist armies outside of their borders. And 851 00:57:44,080 --> 00:57:46,120 Speaker 2: we thought we had a deal, but then they backed 852 00:57:46,160 --> 00:57:48,760 Speaker 2: out and they came back and we thought we had 853 00:57:48,760 --> 00:57:49,800 Speaker 2: a deal and they backed out. 854 00:57:49,840 --> 00:57:52,520 Speaker 3: I said, you can't deal with these people. Got to 855 00:57:52,520 --> 00:57:53,360 Speaker 3: do it the right way. 856 00:57:54,640 --> 00:57:58,360 Speaker 2: Today, we agree for the four heroic American service members 857 00:57:58,400 --> 00:58:01,320 Speaker 2: who have been killed in action and send our love 858 00:58:02,040 --> 00:58:06,080 Speaker 2: and support to their families in their memory. We continue 859 00:58:06,120 --> 00:58:10,760 Speaker 2: this mission with ferocious, unyielding resolve to crush the threat 860 00:58:11,280 --> 00:58:15,200 Speaker 2: this terrorist regime poses to the American people, and a 861 00:58:15,320 --> 00:58:16,560 Speaker 2: threat indeed it is. 862 00:58:18,000 --> 00:58:18,240 Speaker 3: Now. 863 00:58:20,240 --> 00:58:26,080 Speaker 4: I think that for some people, the idea of American casualties, 864 00:58:26,120 --> 00:58:32,280 Speaker 4: of course horrifying. It does make some people queasy. I 865 00:58:32,320 --> 00:58:35,880 Speaker 4: am not one of those people. I don't want it, 866 00:58:37,040 --> 00:58:41,480 Speaker 4: and sacrifices need to be remembered and respected. But that 867 00:58:41,600 --> 00:58:44,520 Speaker 4: was the present saying, Okay, here's our case, here's what 868 00:58:44,560 --> 00:58:50,000 Speaker 4: we're laying out. Someone asked in our chat room here, 869 00:58:50,400 --> 00:58:55,640 Speaker 4: what's the exit plan? Legit question to which I can't 870 00:58:55,720 --> 00:59:01,360 Speaker 4: give a perfect answer. It is my take that it's 871 00:59:01,440 --> 00:59:06,400 Speaker 4: going to involve a here's the crown prince, and here 872 00:59:06,440 --> 00:59:12,240 Speaker 4: are these people, and they are going to help rebuild 873 00:59:13,320 --> 00:59:14,880 Speaker 4: a government. 874 00:59:15,920 --> 00:59:17,160 Speaker 3: Now what does that government look like? 875 00:59:17,280 --> 00:59:22,840 Speaker 4: And it's certainly not an Islamist government, and that might be 876 00:59:23,000 --> 00:59:27,600 Speaker 4: very well enough. I think asking what the exit is 877 00:59:27,600 --> 00:59:31,600 Speaker 4: is a very worthwhile question. I think maybe the question 878 00:59:31,640 --> 00:59:35,880 Speaker 4: before that is how does any of this actually work 879 00:59:36,320 --> 00:59:40,400 Speaker 4: if the IRGC, the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Court, isn't destroyed. 880 00:59:41,000 --> 00:59:45,120 Speaker 4: Now there have been reports that there is dissension amongst 881 00:59:45,120 --> 00:59:49,240 Speaker 4: the IRGC. They are questioning how they want to move forward. 882 00:59:49,600 --> 00:59:53,320 Speaker 4: Do they want to be loyalists to this regime or 883 00:59:53,320 --> 00:59:56,720 Speaker 4: any part of this regime or not. President Trump's commentary 884 00:59:56,840 --> 01:00:01,480 Speaker 4: is surrender, you get immunity, nothing happen to you. You 885 01:00:01,520 --> 01:00:06,920 Speaker 4: don't surrender, You're gonna die. How in the world does 886 01:00:07,040 --> 01:00:12,520 Speaker 4: that happen if there are no boots on the ground. 887 01:00:13,880 --> 01:00:17,000 Speaker 4: I am not saying I want that. I'm asking a question, 888 01:00:17,640 --> 01:00:21,160 Speaker 4: how does it happen? Do we now arm the Iranian 889 01:00:21,200 --> 01:00:24,479 Speaker 4: people and they go directly at the IRGC. How does 890 01:00:24,600 --> 01:00:28,439 Speaker 4: that happen? I'm not saying it can't. And by the way, 891 01:00:28,720 --> 01:00:32,040 Speaker 4: they may have the answers. This may have been well 892 01:00:32,080 --> 01:00:33,800 Speaker 4: thought out, and they're like, if we do accident, if 893 01:00:33,800 --> 01:00:36,160 Speaker 4: we do why, and if we do ze, these things 894 01:00:36,160 --> 01:00:39,280 Speaker 4: could work and here's how we can do that. A 895 01:00:39,280 --> 01:00:41,280 Speaker 4: little bit of this is going to be watching us 896 01:00:41,400 --> 01:00:45,160 Speaker 4: watch an unfold, but saying four to five weeks might 897 01:00:45,240 --> 01:00:48,280 Speaker 4: be the Hey, here's how we give this some ramp up. 898 01:00:49,800 --> 01:00:52,040 Speaker 3: Give this time to work. 899 01:00:53,880 --> 01:01:02,960 Speaker 4: Then, according to a site or a online account, an 900 01:01:03,120 --> 01:01:06,360 Speaker 4: x account called is it de Sheredo. 901 01:01:07,560 --> 01:01:12,320 Speaker 3: Producer landon d x rt o dic serto, I believe dex. 902 01:01:12,160 --> 01:01:16,200 Speaker 4: Serto the leading source for influencer, streamer gaming and viral content. 903 01:01:16,440 --> 01:01:18,480 Speaker 4: And you're like, Tony never heard of it? They have 904 01:01:18,520 --> 01:01:25,400 Speaker 4: one point three million followers. Somebody's heard of it. According 905 01:01:25,680 --> 01:01:36,480 Speaker 4: to them, Reeses, the the candy Reesees is releasing a 906 01:01:36,480 --> 01:01:40,200 Speaker 4: peanut butter cup flavored toothpaste for a limited time in 907 01:01:40,280 --> 01:01:45,520 Speaker 4: Australia and New Zealand. I am going to make the 908 01:01:45,560 --> 01:01:54,560 Speaker 4: assumption that this right here is all just nonsense, but 909 01:01:54,680 --> 01:02:00,600 Speaker 4: it says Reeses with fluoride plus, it's got the floor 910 01:02:00,640 --> 01:02:05,520 Speaker 4: eyed Reese's toothpaste peanut butter cup flavor. 911 01:02:14,920 --> 01:02:16,520 Speaker 3: And they have a photo of a. 912 01:02:16,520 --> 01:02:20,720 Speaker 4: Yellow toothbrush and yellow bristles with the. 913 01:02:19,760 --> 01:02:23,320 Speaker 3: Brown toothpaste on it. 914 01:02:25,040 --> 01:02:35,200 Speaker 4: And it doesn't it doesn't look like toothpaste. 915 01:02:36,400 --> 01:02:38,240 Speaker 3: I don't even want to know what it smells like. 916 01:02:40,640 --> 01:02:44,160 Speaker 3: Super super super weird. 917 01:02:45,360 --> 01:02:48,640 Speaker 4: But the third thing, of course, is the conversation about 918 01:02:48,640 --> 01:02:53,560 Speaker 4: the China connection. As we were discussing earlier, When you 919 01:02:53,720 --> 01:02:58,280 Speaker 4: take a look at what has happened in Iran, you 920 01:02:58,360 --> 01:03:06,240 Speaker 4: cannot deny what this means for China. China is a 921 01:03:06,520 --> 01:03:10,880 Speaker 4: very thirsty nation. They manufacture things, that's what they do. 922 01:03:10,920 --> 01:03:14,200 Speaker 4: They don't actually create things. They're not capable of creation. 923 01:03:14,560 --> 01:03:17,640 Speaker 4: They are capable of theft. But they build things, right, 924 01:03:18,000 --> 01:03:20,120 Speaker 4: it's cheaper to build it here. We build it here. 925 01:03:20,160 --> 01:03:22,320 Speaker 4: We've got our factories here and everything else. And that's 926 01:03:22,320 --> 01:03:25,680 Speaker 4: what they do. They build things. But they are indeed 927 01:03:25,680 --> 01:03:27,959 Speaker 4: a thirsty country, and they want a country that wants 928 01:03:27,960 --> 01:03:29,560 Speaker 4: to grow in, a country that makes the claim they 929 01:03:29,600 --> 01:03:31,440 Speaker 4: can pull all these people out of poverty. And they 930 01:03:31,480 --> 01:03:36,080 Speaker 4: filled some people out of poverty through their well you 931 01:03:36,280 --> 01:03:41,880 Speaker 4: on manipulation and currency manipulation and stealing of technology to 932 01:03:41,960 --> 01:03:44,440 Speaker 4: sell their own products to the world at cheaper prices 933 01:03:44,560 --> 01:03:52,600 Speaker 4: because they have slave labor. They are in need of oil, 934 01:03:54,520 --> 01:03:58,040 Speaker 4: their need of a lot of oil. They get their 935 01:03:58,080 --> 01:04:07,240 Speaker 4: oil through very shady, shady systems. Oh sure, they buy 936 01:04:07,280 --> 01:04:11,320 Speaker 4: oil on the market, undoubtedly true, But they also got 937 01:04:11,360 --> 01:04:14,920 Speaker 4: their oil from Venezuela. Venezuela had a series of sanctions 938 01:04:14,960 --> 01:04:19,440 Speaker 4: on it, so there were ghost ships, these oil tankers 939 01:04:19,800 --> 01:04:22,720 Speaker 4: that are old and they're kind of rusted out, and 940 01:04:22,800 --> 01:04:26,320 Speaker 4: they're a single hold, and if they were to get 941 01:04:26,320 --> 01:04:28,240 Speaker 4: into an accident or there would be a small fire, 942 01:04:28,640 --> 01:04:30,840 Speaker 4: the entire tanker would sink to the bottom of the ocean, 943 01:04:30,880 --> 01:04:33,880 Speaker 4: while the oil would be in the ocean. You know what, 944 01:04:34,040 --> 01:04:38,120 Speaker 4: you think the communist Chinese care about environmental anything. Only 945 01:04:38,160 --> 01:04:41,800 Speaker 4: Gretaituneberg thinks that the communist Chinese care about environmental anything. 946 01:04:42,040 --> 01:04:48,320 Speaker 4: You have to be Gretituneberg stupid to believe that the 947 01:04:49,160 --> 01:04:52,760 Speaker 4: Chinese were getting their oil via these Russian ghost tankers 948 01:04:52,800 --> 01:04:55,040 Speaker 4: that were then moving the oil into Chinese tankers and 949 01:04:55,040 --> 01:05:00,160 Speaker 4: then heading to ports. The other place they were getting 950 01:05:00,720 --> 01:05:07,920 Speaker 4: they're oil was Iran and avoiding sanctions. So now the 951 01:05:08,040 --> 01:05:13,360 Speaker 4: United States has taken out Maduro and ended the ability 952 01:05:13,400 --> 01:05:16,480 Speaker 4: of oil to float to China and has now taken 953 01:05:16,520 --> 01:05:19,720 Speaker 4: out the Ayatola and is ending the ability for oil 954 01:05:19,760 --> 01:05:30,600 Speaker 4: to float to China. That's something that's that is intense. 955 01:05:31,640 --> 01:05:36,160 Speaker 4: And I asked the question, that's two, what is the 956 01:05:36,160 --> 01:05:40,040 Speaker 4: third part of this? What is the third part here 957 01:05:40,480 --> 01:05:48,080 Speaker 4: to thwart China's hegemonic desires in the Pacific rim and 958 01:05:48,480 --> 01:05:50,920 Speaker 4: in the Western Hemisphere, and I asked the chatroom, and 959 01:05:50,960 --> 01:05:59,160 Speaker 4: the chatroom answered properly, Cuba. This happened last week. I 960 01:05:59,440 --> 01:06:04,680 Speaker 4: laughed out loud when I heard it. 961 01:06:04,680 --> 01:06:06,040 Speaker 3: It was President Trump. 962 01:06:07,120 --> 01:06:17,040 Speaker 4: It was the helicopter presser, and he said like he 963 01:06:17,240 --> 01:06:20,440 Speaker 4: was asking somebody, Hey, could you pass the milk? 964 01:06:23,080 --> 01:06:26,560 Speaker 3: He said, you know, maybe we'll have a maybe I 965 01:06:26,640 --> 01:06:28,400 Speaker 3: have a friendly takeover of Cuba. 966 01:06:29,280 --> 01:06:32,880 Speaker 2: Cuban government is talking with us.

Why a W and K 1020 01:09:51,120 --> 01:09:54,519 Speaker 4: for radio stations? You'd think doing this? 1021 01:09:54,720 --> 01:09:56,120 Speaker 3: I should know. 1022 01:09:56,200 --> 01:10:03,720 Speaker 4: This originated from international agreements published in nineteen twelve at 1023 01:10:03,720 --> 01:10:08,840 Speaker 4: the International Radio Telegraphic Conference in London. N A A 1024 01:10:09,120 --> 01:10:12,840 Speaker 4: or military and government use K and W designated for 1025 01:10:12,880 --> 01:10:19,040 Speaker 4: commercial broadcasting stations. There it is now. You know, the 1026 01:10:19,080 --> 01:10:21,519 Speaker 4: point is I could use a jamokah shake. I think 1027 01:10:21,560 --> 01:10:25,400 Speaker 4: that's that's really the point that I was trying to 1028 01:10:25,439 --> 01:10:31,960 Speaker 4: make to everybody. Sorry, just got a little sidetracked right there. 1029 01:10:32,960 --> 01:10:37,200 Speaker 4: As for the Iranians, they are now considering a boycott 1030 01:10:37,600 --> 01:10:39,880 Speaker 4: of the World Cup, which is scheduled to take place 1031 01:10:39,960 --> 01:10:41,000 Speaker 4: in the United States. 1032 01:10:43,080 --> 01:10:53,519 Speaker 8: Okay, I don't know what to tell you.

I can't imagine that the players are saying this. 1035 01:11:05,600 --> 01:11:11,840 Speaker 8: This has to come from somebody who's connected what a 1036 01:11:11,920 --> 01:11:14,479 Speaker 8: certain exact of this attack. We cannot be expected to 1037 01:11:14,479 --> 01:11:14,960 Speaker 8: look forward to. 1038 01:11:14,960 --> 01:11:18,440 Speaker 3: The World Cup with hope. US regimes attacks. 1039 01:11:18,120 --> 01:11:20,360 Speaker 4: Our homelands, and this is an incident that will not 1040 01:11:20,439 --> 01:11:23,439 Speaker 4: go unanswered. It's a weird way to say thank you, 1041 01:11:23,520 --> 01:11:28,040 Speaker 4: But okay. 1042 01:11:27,280 --> 01:11:29,599 Speaker 3: You don't want to beat the World Cup, it's your loss. 1043 01:11:30,280 --> 01:11:31,559 Speaker 3: This is Tony Kats today. 1044 01:11:37,360 --> 01:11:42,480 Speaker 1: Lie from vall Hartbiner and the Crossroads of America. 1045 01:11:42,720 --> 01:11:44,160 Speaker 3: It's Tony Katz today. 1046 01:11:44,720 --> 01:11:47,960 Speaker 4: So it's clear to everybody that the hit on Iran 1047 01:11:48,200 --> 01:11:51,320 Speaker 4: is not going to stop until the regime is gone. 1048 01:11:51,640 --> 01:11:53,960 Speaker 4: And while the administration may not want to call it 1049 01:11:54,040 --> 01:11:56,080 Speaker 4: regime change. It is what it is, and I don't 1050 01:11:56,120 --> 01:11:59,599 Speaker 4: think we should ever lie to ourselves.

I favor in 1055 01:12:11,120 --> 01:12:14,439 Speaker 4: every single way. And yes, as we have discussed and 1056 01:12:14,479 --> 01:12:17,360 Speaker 4: we will be discussing the leftists that are angry and 1057 01:12:17,439 --> 01:12:21,120 Speaker 4: screaming about Israel and screaming about Trump being a warmonger. 1058 01:12:21,400 --> 01:12:24,080 Speaker 4: These are people who are on the side of terrorists 1059 01:12:24,080 --> 01:12:24,719 Speaker 4: and terrorism. 1060 01:12:24,880 --> 01:12:30,479 Speaker 3: That's who they are. They are exposed. You have Iranians in. 1061 01:12:30,439 --> 01:12:34,080 Speaker 4: The United States crying in the streets, screaming and cheering 1062 01:12:34,080 --> 01:12:37,360 Speaker 4: that they love Trump, and you have liberal white women saying, 1063 01:12:37,439 --> 01:12:39,720 Speaker 4: how dare Trump? What side do you want to be on? 1064 01:12:40,479 --> 01:12:43,360 Speaker 4: That is where we're at. There is a right side 1065 01:12:43,360 --> 01:12:46,519 Speaker 4: and there is a wrong side. There is good and evil. 1066 01:12:46,520 --> 01:12:49,280 Speaker 4: There's the Ytestertova and the yts are Hurrah. That is 1067 01:12:49,360 --> 01:12:55,040 Speaker 4: where we are at. The American left is angry that 1068 01:12:55,120 --> 01:12:59,839 Speaker 4: their terrorist proxies will not be in place to engage 1069 01:12:59,840 --> 01:13:04,679 Speaker 4: in more terrorism. The lefties are upset that America isn't 1070 01:13:04,720 --> 01:13:09,400 Speaker 4: going to fail against these terrorists. The American left, which 1071 01:13:09,479 --> 01:13:13,559 Speaker 4: are communists, want to see destruction in the United States. 1072 01:13:13,600 --> 01:13:16,240 Speaker 4: They want the US to fail. They want the terrorists 1073 01:13:16,280 --> 01:13:20,280 Speaker 4: to succeed. Not because I say so, but because they 1074 01:13:20,320 --> 01:13:23,800 Speaker 4: say so. And the problem now is everybody sees it. 1075 01:13:24,320 --> 01:13:28,000 Speaker 4: Everybody knows that they're exposed. So they're angry and they're 1076 01:13:28,080 --> 01:13:32,799 Speaker 4: lashing out, and they all just look so unbelievably stupid 1077 01:13:33,360 --> 01:13:34,240 Speaker 4: because they are. 1078 01:13:35,720 --> 01:13:37,799 Speaker 3: They are the dumbest people. 1079 01:13:38,640 --> 01:13:42,240 Speaker 4: And it's very important that if you are a twenty 1080 01:13:42,320 --> 01:13:45,960 Speaker 4: something you understand that the left can't get you a job, 1081 01:13:46,160 --> 01:13:48,960 Speaker 4: doesn't care if you have a future. They don't care. 1082 01:13:49,360 --> 01:13:51,040 Speaker 4: They want you to be angry. They want you to 1083 01:13:51,040 --> 01:13:53,400 Speaker 4: be upset. They want everybody fighting against each other because 1084 01:13:53,439 --> 01:13:55,160 Speaker 4: that way they get more control. 1085 01:13:55,360 --> 01:13:56,720 Speaker 3: Your life is meaningless. 1086 01:13:56,840 --> 01:13:59,719 Speaker 4: When you go to vote in November, you are indeed 1087 01:13:59,800 --> 01:14:02,880 Speaker 4: vote for your future by not voting for them. 1088 01:14:03,280 --> 01:14:04,040 Speaker 3: I didn't say the. 1089 01:14:03,960 --> 01:14:07,040 Speaker 4: Republicans are perfect, Holy cow, have you met those people? 1090 01:14:07,240 --> 01:14:08,360 Speaker 3: A lot of them are schmucks. 1091 01:14:08,800 --> 01:14:11,240 Speaker 4: But the left doesn't want you to have a future, 1092 01:14:11,280 --> 01:14:13,479 Speaker 4: and the political right does. Don't ever tell me it's 1093 01:14:13,479 --> 01:14:18,040 Speaker 4: a uniparty that dog won't hunt. The left wants everyone 1094 01:14:18,160 --> 01:14:21,120 Speaker 4: angry and they want the violent people to be able 1095 01:14:21,160 --> 01:14:24,400 Speaker 4: to attack us, and they say we are wrong for 1096 01:14:24,520 --> 01:14:27,240 Speaker 4: defending ourselves. And of course it was the right move 1097 01:14:27,320 --> 01:14:29,960 Speaker 4: to take out terrorists who have been killing Americans and 1098 01:14:30,000 --> 01:14:33,799 Speaker 4: attacking Americans since they took Americans hostage in nineteen seventy nine, 1099 01:14:34,000 --> 01:14:37,760 Speaker 4: since the killing of Marines and Beirut in nineteen eighty three. 1100 01:14:38,000 --> 01:14:41,960 Speaker 4: They deserve vengeance for those things, and they've engaged in 1101 01:14:42,040 --> 01:14:46,040 Speaker 4: terrorist activities throughout and supporting of terrorist activities. So what 1102 01:14:46,080 --> 01:14:49,000 Speaker 4: are we kidding ourselves for? Why are we pretending that 1103 01:14:49,120 --> 01:14:50,840 Speaker 4: somehow there's no reason for this. 1104 01:14:51,520 --> 01:14:52,240 Speaker 3: They did this. 1105 01:14:52,880 --> 01:14:57,439 Speaker 4: Screw the Ayatola, screw his kids, screw anybody who supports him. 1106 01:14:57,640 --> 01:15:02,400 Speaker 3: That's the right answer. And the lefties support the idea of. 1107 01:15:02,479 --> 01:15:06,160 Speaker 4: Him being in power, and they are opposed to American strength. 1108 01:15:07,160 --> 01:15:09,840 Speaker 3: Oh, it's an unnecessary war. It's a forever war. 1109 01:15:10,240 --> 01:15:14,679 Speaker 4: These people cannot be trusted to be in power. They 1110 01:15:14,720 --> 01:15:18,360 Speaker 4: want us to continue taking terrorist attacks, They want us 1111 01:15:18,400 --> 01:15:20,080 Speaker 4: to continue having. 1112 01:15:19,880 --> 01:15:20,960 Speaker 3: To deal with the violence. 1113 01:15:21,120 --> 01:15:24,000 Speaker 4: They want to keep us angry at one another, so 1114 01:15:24,080 --> 01:15:26,160 Speaker 4: they could come in and claim, well, this would all stop. 1115 01:15:26,200 --> 01:15:28,080 Speaker 4: If we were in power and we had more government 1116 01:15:28,120 --> 01:15:31,840 Speaker 4: control and more government, that's the more anger and the 1117 01:15:31,880 --> 01:15:34,080 Speaker 4: more angst they feel, the better for them. That's no 1118 01:15:34,120 --> 01:15:37,160 Speaker 4: way to live. And they are supportive of and you 1119 01:15:37,200 --> 01:15:42,839 Speaker 4: see it everywhere. They're supportive of a terrorist regime. Don't 1120 01:15:43,080 --> 01:15:45,800 Speaker 4: vote for these people. If you're a twenty something and 1121 01:15:45,840 --> 01:15:47,240 Speaker 4: you want a life, and you want a job, and 1122 01:15:47,240 --> 01:15:48,720 Speaker 4: you want a future, and you want a family and 1123 01:15:48,720 --> 01:15:51,160 Speaker 4: all those things, the left is opposed to you having 1124 01:15:51,280 --> 01:15:51,720 Speaker 4: all of that. 1125 01:15:51,960 --> 01:15:54,920 Speaker 3: And this is just one prime example of it. 1126 01:15:56,360 --> 01:16:02,320 Speaker 4: But earlier today you had Secretary of War, Secretary of 1127 01:16:02,360 --> 01:16:06,200 Speaker 4: Defense Pete Hegsath speaking. It was a press conference with 1128 01:16:06,280 --> 01:16:09,080 Speaker 4: him and the Chairman of the Joint Jesus Staff, General 1129 01:16:09,200 --> 01:16:09,760 Speaker 4: Dan Kin. 1130 01:16:10,120 --> 01:16:12,080 Speaker 3: Let's start with Secretary Hegsath. 1131 01:16:12,280 --> 01:16:15,080 Speaker 9: Two days ago, under the direction and direct orders of 1132 01:16:15,120 --> 01:16:18,000 Speaker 9: President Donald J. Trump, the Department of War launched Operation 1133 01:16:18,240 --> 01:16:23,320 Speaker 9: Epic Fury, the most lethal, most complex, and most precise 1134 01:16:23,479 --> 01:16:28,360 Speaker 9: aerial operation in history. For forty seven long years, the 1135 01:16:28,400 --> 01:16:32,560 Speaker 9: expansionist and Islamist regime in Tehran has waged a savage, 1136 01:16:32,640 --> 01:16:36,639 Speaker 9: one sided war against America. They didn't always declare it openly, 1137 01:16:37,360 --> 01:16:40,559 Speaker 9: except for their constant chance of death to America. 1138 01:16:40,680 --> 01:16:42,439 Speaker 3: They did it through the blood of our people. 1139 01:16:43,400 --> 01:16:47,960 Speaker 9: Car bombs in Beirut, rocket attacks on our ships, murders 1140 01:16:48,000 --> 01:16:53,240 Speaker 9: at our embassy's, roadside bombs in Iraq, in Afghanistan, funded 1141 01:16:53,280 --> 01:16:55,000 Speaker 9: and armed by Iranian. 1142 01:16:54,640 --> 01:16:57,320 Speaker 3: Kud's Force and IRGC killers. 1143 01:16:58,640 --> 01:17:02,519 Speaker 9: My generation of veterans carried the names of brothers who 1144 01:17:02,640 --> 01:17:07,000 Speaker 9: never came home, brothers butchered by Iranian backed roadside bombs 1145 01:17:07,520 --> 01:17:12,840 Speaker 9: and well armed militias, thousands of our own. We didn't 1146 01:17:12,840 --> 01:17:17,000 Speaker 9: start this war, but under President Trump, we are finishing it. 1147 01:17:18,160 --> 01:17:22,320 Speaker 9: Their war on Americans has become our retribution against their 1148 01:17:22,560 --> 01:17:27,879 Speaker 9: Ayatola and his death call. It took the forty seventh president, 1149 01:17:27,920 --> 01:17:31,719 Speaker 9: a fighter who always puts America first, to finally draw 1150 01:17:31,760 --> 01:17:36,400 Speaker 9: the line after forty seven years of Iranian belligerents. He 1151 01:17:36,479 --> 01:17:38,880 Speaker 9: reminded the world, as he has time and time again, 1152 01:17:39,360 --> 01:17:43,960 Speaker 9: being an American means something unbreakable. If you kill Americans, 1153 01:17:44,479 --> 01:17:47,639 Speaker 9: if you threaten Americans anywhere on Earth, we will hunt 1154 01:17:47,680 --> 01:17:52,639 Speaker 9: you down without apology and without hesitation, and we will 1155 01:17:52,920 --> 01:17:53,280 Speaker 9: kill you. 1156 01:17:53,960 --> 01:17:56,400 Speaker 3: It is a very different military and I am thrilled 1157 01:17:56,400 --> 01:17:56,680 Speaker 3: by it. 1158 01:17:57,960 --> 01:18:00,759 Speaker 4: I gotta tell you, I am overjoyed that the adults 1159 01:18:00,800 --> 01:18:03,320 Speaker 4: are back in charge, and so we're clear these are 1160 01:18:03,360 --> 01:18:06,720 Speaker 4: the adults. We're not looking for a fight, we're not 1161 01:18:06,760 --> 01:18:10,400 Speaker 4: looking for a problem. But we will be in charge 1162 01:18:10,760 --> 01:18:14,840 Speaker 4: and you will not. Is the correct answer. It is 1163 01:18:15,200 --> 01:18:20,280 Speaker 4: the only correct answer. The left keeps making this this 1164 01:18:20,439 --> 01:18:25,519 Speaker 4: weird argument about forever wars. We're promised no more forever wars. 1165 01:18:26,560 --> 01:18:33,000 Speaker 4: What kind of conversation is this? There are enemies? Are 1166 01:18:33,000 --> 01:18:36,479 Speaker 4: we gonna pretend that there aren't, Well, they didn't propose 1167 01:18:36,520 --> 01:18:40,719 Speaker 4: an imminent threat. You're gonna wait until you're getting killed 1168 01:18:40,720 --> 01:18:44,160 Speaker 4: before you fight back. I'm sorry. This is all stupid talk. 1169 01:18:45,040 --> 01:18:52,680 Speaker 4: It's silly nonsense, Babbel problem, It's pathetic. It really and 1170 01:18:52,680 --> 01:18:57,160 Speaker 4: truly is Iran has been the enemy since nineteen seventy nine. 1171 01:18:58,640 --> 01:19:00,920 Speaker 4: I know the Left wants say, well, see Israel, talk 1172 01:19:01,000 --> 01:19:01,599 Speaker 4: them into it. 1173 01:19:01,680 --> 01:19:02,200 Speaker 3: That's all. 1174 01:19:02,360 --> 01:19:05,240 Speaker 4: That's all they know how to say. Their hate is 1175 01:19:05,360 --> 01:19:09,439 Speaker 4: all they've got. But we don't have to buy into it, 1176 01:19:09,479 --> 01:19:10,200 Speaker 4: and we shouldn't. 1177 01:19:11,280 --> 01:19:16,000 Speaker 9: President Trump has also been very consistent. Crazy regimes like Iran, 1178 01:19:16,120 --> 01:19:21,879 Speaker 9: hell bent on prophetic Islamist delusions, cannot have nuclear weapons. 1179 01:19:22,439 --> 01:19:24,800 Speaker 3: It's common sense, many have. 1180 01:19:24,840 --> 01:19:28,080 Speaker 9: Said it, but it takes guts to actually enforce it, 1181 01:19:28,120 --> 01:19:33,679 Speaker 9: and our president has guts Iran's stubborn and self evident 1182 01:19:33,760 --> 01:19:37,040 Speaker 9: nuclear pursuits, their targeting of global shipping lanes, and their 1183 01:19:37,360 --> 01:19:40,400 Speaker 9: swelling arsenal of ballistic missiles and killer drones. 1184 01:19:41,080 --> 01:19:43,879 Speaker 3: We're no longer are no longer tolerable risks. 1185 01:19:44,560 --> 01:19:49,360 Speaker 9: Iran was building powerful missiles and drones to create a 1186 01:19:49,479 --> 01:19:53,680 Speaker 9: conventional shield for their nuclear blackmail ambitions. Let me say 1187 01:19:53,720 --> 01:19:59,360 Speaker 9: that again, a conventional shield for their nuclear blackmail ambitions. 1188 01:20:00,640 --> 01:20:04,000 Speaker 9: Our basis, our people, our allies, all in their crosshairs. 1189 01:20:04,680 --> 01:20:07,960 Speaker 9: Iran had a conventional gun to our head as they 1190 01:20:08,000 --> 01:20:11,519 Speaker 9: tried to lie their way to a nuclear bomb. It 1191 01:20:11,560 --> 01:20:16,280 Speaker 9: almost worked under Obama and his terrible deal, but not 1192 01:20:16,400 --> 01:20:21,000 Speaker 9: under this president. Turns out, the regime who chanted death 1193 01:20:21,040 --> 01:20:26,280 Speaker 9: to America and death to Israel was gifted death from 1194 01:20:26,320 --> 01:20:29,240 Speaker 9: America and death from Israel. 1195 01:20:30,600 --> 01:20:33,240 Speaker 4: Oh yeah, we absolutely worked together on this, and I 1196 01:20:33,320 --> 01:20:37,479 Speaker 4: say good. This whole talk about Israel talks America into this, 1197 01:20:37,840 --> 01:20:42,599 Speaker 4: that and the other. I can't stop those people from 1198 01:20:42,640 --> 01:20:45,840 Speaker 4: being hateful and vicious and disgusting and respectable. I'm never 1199 01:20:45,920 --> 01:20:48,920 Speaker 4: going to be able to stop them. I also don't 1200 01:20:48,960 --> 01:20:52,040 Speaker 4: care about them. The Tucker set, the canvas set the 1201 01:20:52,360 --> 01:20:54,559 Speaker 4: Dave Smith of Freaks, blah. 1202 01:20:54,400 --> 01:20:55,679 Speaker 3: Blah blah blah blah. 1203 01:20:56,200 --> 01:21:01,800 Speaker 4: Should the United States continue to be bothered by under 1204 01:21:01,920 --> 01:21:06,280 Speaker 4: threats of have to deal with the terrorist regime of Iran? 1205 01:21:06,320 --> 01:21:08,840 Speaker 4: I believe the answer is no. Regardless of what Israel says. 1206 01:21:08,880 --> 01:21:13,040 Speaker 4: I'm an America first guy, I'm an American. I'm an American. 1207 01:21:13,080 --> 01:21:15,760 Speaker 4: There's no conversation in me. I know where I'm at 1208 01:21:17,680 --> 01:21:21,240 Speaker 4: that we may have an alliance with and an agreement 1209 01:21:21,280 --> 01:21:25,840 Speaker 4: with Israel and a host of subjects. Fantastic, But as 1210 01:21:25,880 --> 01:21:29,679 Speaker 4: we are going to break down, this isn't even about Israel. 1211 01:21:29,760 --> 01:21:32,920 Speaker 3: This is about the Board of Peace. Everyone has got 1212 01:21:32,920 --> 01:21:33,880 Speaker 3: the story wrong. 1213 01:21:35,360 --> 01:21:41,080 Speaker 4: This is about a fundamental change in the region. And 1214 01:21:41,120 --> 01:21:44,120 Speaker 4: that's what's got the lefties most upset. All these other 1215 01:21:44,240 --> 01:21:48,639 Speaker 4: nations now involved in the build up of Goza, where 1216 01:21:48,640 --> 01:21:50,479 Speaker 4: they've got skin in the game, money in the. 1217 01:21:50,439 --> 01:21:53,240 Speaker 3: Game, they can't hand. They can't handle this. 1218 01:21:55,120 --> 01:21:58,280 Speaker 4: The left can't believe that all these other nations are 1219 01:21:58,320 --> 01:22:00,320 Speaker 4: going to be putting money in rebuild the old thing 1220 01:22:00,360 --> 01:22:03,559 Speaker 4: gods and they want to actually protect their investment. Let 1221 01:22:03,560 --> 01:22:06,000 Speaker 4: me give you the short version here as I explained 1222 01:22:06,000 --> 01:22:10,320 Speaker 4: this with more detail. The short version goes as follows. 1223 01:22:10,680 --> 01:22:15,000 Speaker 4: Nothing about what we saw this past weekend involving the 1224 01:22:15,880 --> 01:22:18,120 Speaker 4: destruction of the Iranian regime and the killing of the 1225 01:22:18,120 --> 01:22:21,000 Speaker 4: Iatola and his top leaders, has to do with anything 1226 01:22:21,000 --> 01:22:25,559 Speaker 4: that's happened recently. This gets set into motion, the stage 1227 01:22:25,640 --> 01:22:30,839 Speaker 4: gets set by the Abraham Accords. The Abraham Accords changed 1228 01:22:30,960 --> 01:22:36,519 Speaker 4: everything because the Abraham Accords reset an idea. Instead of 1229 01:22:36,520 --> 01:22:39,040 Speaker 4: the Middle East saying well, we can't talk to Israel 1230 01:22:39,080 --> 01:22:41,519 Speaker 4: until they solve things with the Palestinians and we're not 1231 01:22:41,560 --> 01:22:44,240 Speaker 4: going to have relationships with them, which oured Kusher and 1232 01:22:44,280 --> 01:22:46,960 Speaker 4: the team did is they said, hey, hello, how about 1233 01:22:47,000 --> 01:22:50,000 Speaker 4: what change the dynamic? Work with is You'll engage some 1234 01:22:50,080 --> 01:22:52,840 Speaker 4: trade with Israel, make money with Israel. They'll make money 1235 01:22:52,880 --> 01:22:55,519 Speaker 4: with you. There'll be some tourism, and together you can 1236 01:22:55,560 --> 01:22:59,519 Speaker 4: work towards a solution regarding these Palestinians, who, by the way, 1237 01:22:59,560 --> 01:23:02,360 Speaker 4: many of you our nations won't take back because they're 1238 01:23:02,400 --> 01:23:07,360 Speaker 4: ethically yours. Anyway, you guys can create some kind of 1239 01:23:07,400 --> 01:23:10,280 Speaker 4: deal where it works for everybody, and you're already got 1240 01:23:10,600 --> 01:23:12,880 Speaker 4: a relationship that doesn't have to be about constant fighting 1241 01:23:12,880 --> 01:23:17,960 Speaker 4: and vitriol. And some nations said Okay, sounds great because 1242 01:23:17,960 --> 01:23:20,000 Speaker 4: they were tired of the fighting and the vitriol, but 1243 01:23:20,040 --> 01:23:23,200 Speaker 4: they were concerned that if they went that direction they 1244 01:23:23,240 --> 01:23:27,360 Speaker 4: would have a problem with who Iran. It's the Abraham 1245 01:23:27,400 --> 01:23:32,839 Speaker 4: Accords that set things in motion. Then October seventh happens, 1246 01:23:32,880 --> 01:23:36,439 Speaker 4: twenty twenty three. The Hamas that is to say, Iranian 1247 01:23:36,479 --> 01:23:42,360 Speaker 4: regime attack on Israel, killing twelve hundred, murdering twelve hundred Americans, 1248 01:23:42,439 --> 01:23:48,400 Speaker 4: included raping women, kidnapping women and children and the elderly. 1249 01:23:49,479 --> 01:23:52,559 Speaker 3: And Israel said, we're not going to stop. And they 1250 01:23:52,680 --> 01:23:55,160 Speaker 3: kept going at Hamas and going at Amas, and there 1251 01:23:55,200 --> 01:23:55,840 Speaker 3: was a moment where. 1252 01:23:55,680 --> 01:23:57,000 Speaker 4: Everyone said, okay, you have to stop now. 1253 01:23:57,000 --> 01:23:59,519 Speaker 3: Those are the rules. You stop now. And Israel said, 1254 01:23:59,640 --> 01:24:04,479 Speaker 3: you know what, Nah, those days are over. And they 1255 01:24:05,120 --> 01:24:06,400 Speaker 3: changed the game. 1256 01:24:06,800 --> 01:24:10,400 Speaker 4: Even with the pressure against them from the disgusting Biden administration, 1257 01:24:10,520 --> 01:24:14,040 Speaker 4: the jew hitting bigots that filled that administration. 1258 01:24:14,120 --> 01:24:16,519 Speaker 3: The Israeli said no, no, no, we're going forward. 1259 01:24:17,000 --> 01:24:19,960 Speaker 4: Listen, you could be our friend or not whatever this 1260 01:24:20,240 --> 01:24:25,120 Speaker 4: is happening. And they didn't stop, and they didn't stop, 1261 01:24:25,360 --> 01:24:28,559 Speaker 4: and they didn't stop, and then well the next thing 1262 01:24:28,600 --> 01:24:31,320 Speaker 4: you know that you got the un clamoring and screaming 1263 01:24:31,400 --> 01:24:34,799 Speaker 4: and yelling. But these other nations didn't come to Hamas's defense. 1264 01:24:35,760 --> 01:24:39,000 Speaker 4: They didn't send in troops to try and repel the Israelis, 1265 01:24:39,320 --> 01:24:41,320 Speaker 4: knowing probably that they couldn't. 1266 01:24:42,280 --> 01:24:43,200 Speaker 3: They didn't bother. 1267 01:24:44,479 --> 01:24:48,240 Speaker 4: The game had changed and shifted, and if the Israelis 1268 01:24:48,240 --> 01:24:50,439 Speaker 4: were gonna take out Amas, we'll let the Israelis do 1269 01:24:50,439 --> 01:24:52,559 Speaker 4: it on their own diamond, with their own blood and treasure. 1270 01:24:52,680 --> 01:24:54,880 Speaker 4: You know, That's what these other nations said. But we're 1271 01:24:54,920 --> 01:24:57,600 Speaker 4: not gonna get in the way. Not getting in the 1272 01:24:57,600 --> 01:25:01,120 Speaker 4: way was a major story, and they did so much 1273 01:25:01,240 --> 01:25:04,280 Speaker 4: to destroy Hamas, although they're not fully destroyed yet, and 1274 01:25:04,320 --> 01:25:05,160 Speaker 4: I want them to be. 1275 01:25:06,320 --> 01:25:08,320 Speaker 3: It's now, how are you gonna rebuild Goz? And what 1276 01:25:08,400 --> 01:25:08,960 Speaker 3: do you get? 1277 01:25:09,360 --> 01:25:13,439 Speaker 4: The Board of peace? The Board of Peace, ridiculous name. 1278 01:25:13,920 --> 01:25:17,160 Speaker 4: This is a mafia family. These are the five families 1279 01:25:17,200 --> 01:25:19,080 Speaker 4: getting together and carving. 1280 01:25:18,800 --> 01:25:19,960 Speaker 3: Up the new territory. 1281 01:25:20,240 --> 01:25:22,240 Speaker 4: You're gonna get this tree corner, and you're gonna get 1282 01:25:22,240 --> 01:25:24,280 Speaker 4: that corner, and you're gonna get this business. No, no, no, 1283 01:25:24,520 --> 01:25:28,200 Speaker 4: that business belongs to the other guy. And you know 1284 01:25:28,240 --> 01:25:33,840 Speaker 4: who's trying to interrupt their business. The Iranians. They still 1285 01:25:33,840 --> 01:25:36,639 Speaker 4: want to sponsor terrorism. They're gonna screw it all up. 1286 01:25:36,760 --> 01:25:39,840 Speaker 4: These nations have an opportunity to make money. They have 1287 01:25:39,880 --> 01:25:42,360 Speaker 4: an opportunity to have a life where listen. They may 1288 01:25:42,400 --> 01:25:44,439 Speaker 4: hate Israel and they may hate Jews, but they don't 1289 01:25:44,439 --> 01:25:46,400 Speaker 4: have to act out on it every single day. And 1290 01:25:46,439 --> 01:25:49,799 Speaker 4: they get this ridiculous Iranian low LIFs off their backs. 1291 01:25:50,479 --> 01:25:52,760 Speaker 4: We're gonna make money. We're gonna get protected by the 1292 01:25:52,840 --> 01:25:54,439 Speaker 4: United States for our money. 1293 01:25:55,400 --> 01:25:58,720 Speaker 3: Screw the Iranians. Get rid of this guy.

Clear, I swear to you, I am 1310 01:26:44,800 --> 01:26:47,800 Speaker 4: the first person to engage this conversation. I get it. 1311 01:26:48,040 --> 01:26:50,400 Speaker 4: I won't be the last, because I'm telling you, I 1312 01:26:50,439 --> 01:26:52,599 Speaker 4: don't think you were far off from anywhere I was. 1313 01:26:53,040 --> 01:26:53,599 Speaker 3: This is it. 1314 01:26:56,120 --> 01:27:00,639 Speaker 4: The Abraham Accords set the stage October seven to put 1315 01:27:00,640 --> 01:27:05,519 Speaker 4: things in motion. The Board of Peace made the call. 1316 01:27:06,960 --> 01:27:07,840 Speaker 4: That's how it went down. 1317 01:27:09,200 --> 01:27:10,200 Speaker 3: That's how it went down. 1318 01:27:10,240 --> 01:27:13,080 Speaker 4: But allow me to take issue with Sexuary. Hegseth on 1319 01:27:13,120 --> 01:27:13,479 Speaker 4: one thing. 1320 01:27:14,320 --> 01:27:18,160 Speaker 9: This is not a so called regime change war. But 1321 01:27:18,200 --> 01:27:21,720 Speaker 9: the regime sure did change, and. 1322 01:27:21,720 --> 01:27:23,680 Speaker 3: The world is better off for it. 1323 01:27:24,880 --> 01:27:26,560 Speaker 4: The world is better off for it. But it is 1324 01:27:26,600 --> 01:27:28,760 Speaker 4: a regime change war, and we shouldn't kid ourselves. 1325 01:27:29,080 --> 01:27:31,559 Speaker 3: It was what it was. Now. 1326 01:27:31,600 --> 01:27:35,439 Speaker 4: When you listen to President Trump's initial talk from that morning, 1327 01:27:35,680 --> 01:27:40,080 Speaker 4: that Saturday morning, it was very clear that you, the 1328 01:27:40,120 --> 01:27:42,240 Speaker 4: people of Iran, you have to take over your government. 1329 01:27:42,360 --> 01:27:44,000 Speaker 4: You have to do this, You have to do that. 1330 01:27:44,560 --> 01:27:46,880 Speaker 4: All we did was clear the way, you're the ones 1331 01:27:46,880 --> 01:27:49,240 Speaker 4: who are going to change the government, and therefore it's 1332 01:27:49,240 --> 01:27:50,479 Speaker 4: not regime change from us. 1333 01:27:50,840 --> 01:27:53,639 Speaker 3: Of course, it's regime change from us. But it's not 1334 01:27:53,800 --> 01:27:54,320 Speaker 3: just us. 1335 01:27:54,520 --> 01:27:59,599 Speaker 4: As I just laid out, the world said enough, and 1336 01:27:59,680 --> 01:28:05,439 Speaker 4: so was I'm sorry, the Arab world, the Muslim world 1337 01:28:05,920 --> 01:28:10,519 Speaker 4: said enough and so it is, and so it was. 1338 01:28:11,720 --> 01:28:15,480 Speaker 4: I'm Tony Katz. This is Tony Kats today. Oil prices, 1339 01:28:15,600 --> 01:28:21,679 Speaker 4: of course, jumping through the absolute roof today. Tony Katz, 1340 01:28:21,760 --> 01:28:25,000 Speaker 4: Tony Kats today, Good to be with you. You got 1341 01:28:25,040 --> 01:28:28,200 Speaker 4: a war, you've got you're going to have an effect 1342 01:28:28,520 --> 01:28:32,400 Speaker 4: on oil production. However, just as a follow up, so 1343 01:28:32,439 --> 01:28:36,800 Speaker 4: you understand that what I'm engaging here this not just 1344 01:28:36,840 --> 01:28:41,200 Speaker 4: a philosophy. I think I have got it factual about 1345 01:28:41,240 --> 01:28:44,520 Speaker 4: this Board of Peace and this decision that the Iranians 1346 01:28:44,560 --> 01:28:47,880 Speaker 4: could no longer be deciding the future of the Middle East. 1347 01:28:48,600 --> 01:28:51,880 Speaker 4: It's done with the with the Iatola being the hegemonic 1348 01:28:51,920 --> 01:28:55,719 Speaker 4: power attempting to be in the region, everything's got to change, 1349 01:28:56,400 --> 01:28:59,519 Speaker 4: which is why it goes back to the Abraham Accords. 1350 01:29:01,800 --> 01:29:07,719 Speaker 4: Opek has decided to upproduction. They're calling it a modest 1351 01:29:07,920 --> 01:29:14,599 Speaker 4: output hike. The point that this brings, or the clear 1352 01:29:14,720 --> 01:29:19,439 Speaker 4: understanding here, is that they understand that a war like 1353 01:29:19,520 --> 01:29:24,320 Speaker 4: this changes certain levels of production and output and They 1354 01:29:24,320 --> 01:29:27,840 Speaker 4: want to make sure everybody knows that they're in for 1355 01:29:28,040 --> 01:29:34,600 Speaker 4: keeping things stable. So you can argue that it's symbolism, 1356 01:29:34,640 --> 01:29:39,559 Speaker 4: but it's worthy symbolism. And they're going to add two 1357 01:29:39,680 --> 01:29:43,120 Speaker 4: hundred and six thousand barrels a day. If Trump makes 1358 01:29:43,120 --> 01:29:45,360 Speaker 4: a phone call or Trump makes a statement, that could 1359 01:29:45,439 --> 01:29:47,439 Speaker 4: easily be four hundred and twelve thousand barrels a day. 1360 01:29:47,439 --> 01:29:50,000 Speaker 4: I meaning it could be anything. I do not know 1361 01:29:50,080 --> 01:29:53,839 Speaker 4: if he will. He may want to keep that powder 1362 01:29:53,920 --> 01:29:57,639 Speaker 4: for another moment. But someone brought up and I don't 1363 01:29:57,680 --> 01:30:01,240 Speaker 4: know who, and so I apologize. This wasn't me. That 1364 01:30:01,280 --> 01:30:07,479 Speaker 4: Where this really does affect things is China. China gets 1365 01:30:07,479 --> 01:30:10,000 Speaker 4: their oil from Iran and they buy. They don't worry 1366 01:30:10,000 --> 01:30:12,360 Speaker 4: about sanctions, and they manipulate and everything else. 1367 01:30:12,600 --> 01:30:13,360 Speaker 3: What are they gonna do? 1368 01:30:13,640 --> 01:30:15,720 Speaker 4: The Venezuelan oil has been cut off, and now the 1369 01:30:15,720 --> 01:30:18,360 Speaker 4: Iranian oil has been cut off. What are you cutting off? 1370 01:30:18,720 --> 01:30:21,760 Speaker 4: China a thirsty country. The only place they can get 1371 01:30:21,760 --> 01:30:25,760 Speaker 4: their oil from is the Russians. There is a there's 1372 01:30:25,840 --> 01:30:26,800 Speaker 4: a lot. 1373 01:30:26,479 --> 01:30:28,000 Speaker 3: Of movement here. Booboo. 1374 01:30:29,400 --> 01:30:32,960 Speaker 4: You are cutting off major supply to China. What are 1375 01:30:33,000 --> 01:30:36,000 Speaker 4: they gonna do? You know how we beat the Russians 1376 01:30:36,000 --> 01:30:38,240 Speaker 4: in the Cold War. You know how we got Gorbachev 1377 01:30:38,560 --> 01:30:43,599 Speaker 4: to say, we give we lowered oil prices so much 1378 01:30:43,640 --> 01:30:45,960 Speaker 4: that they couldn't make any money on their oil, because, 1379 01:30:45,960 --> 01:30:49,880 Speaker 4: as John McCain pointed out, Russia is nothing more than 1380 01:30:49,920 --> 01:30:52,000 Speaker 4: a gas station masquerading as a country. 1381 01:30:53,040 --> 01:30:56,760 Speaker 3: And that's as accurate. That's how Reagan did it. 1382 01:30:58,040 --> 01:31:01,360 Speaker 4: Now we're cutting off the oil supply to China. Let's 1383 01:31:01,400 --> 01:31:06,479 Speaker 4: see how they react to everything. I've got more on 1384 01:31:06,520 --> 01:31:10,000 Speaker 4: the attack on Iran for American service members dead, What 1385 01:31:10,120 --> 01:31:11,400 Speaker 4: is the latest that's coming up? 1386 01:31:11,960 --> 01:31:12,400 Speaker 3: Keep it here. 1387 01:31:12,439 --> 01:31:18,400 Speaker 4: This is Tony kat to get us. So now we 1388 01:31:18,560 --> 01:31:22,200 Speaker 4: have the clear hit on Iran, we don't have to 1389 01:31:22,280 --> 01:31:24,840 Speaker 4: question whether or not it's coming. We know that it 1390 01:31:25,000 --> 01:31:27,599 Speaker 4: is here. We know that for US service members have 1391 01:31:27,720 --> 01:31:30,880 Speaker 4: been lost. We are fully aware that the objective here 1392 01:31:30,960 --> 01:31:34,000 Speaker 4: is regime change. No matter what Pete Hegset, the Secretary 1393 01:31:34,000 --> 01:31:36,880 Speaker 4: of War says that it's not regime change. Even President 1394 01:31:36,920 --> 01:31:40,200 Speaker 4: Trump's own words want to play into the idea that 1395 01:31:40,240 --> 01:31:43,400 Speaker 4: it's up to the people of Iran to run their 1396 01:31:43,439 --> 01:31:47,840 Speaker 4: government and change the regime. But this was a full 1397 01:31:47,920 --> 01:31:52,479 Speaker 4: on hit to take out the Ayatola and change the game. 1398 01:31:53,040 --> 01:31:55,120 Speaker 4: But the people who think that this was just because 1399 01:31:55,120 --> 01:31:57,840 Speaker 4: of the United States, are just because of Israel, are 1400 01:31:57,880 --> 01:31:59,240 Speaker 4: missing the forest for the trees. 1401 01:31:59,320 --> 01:32:01,840 Speaker 3: Tony Kats, Tony Kats today, good to be with you. 1402 01:32:01,920 --> 01:32:05,000 Speaker 4: Steve Yates joins me right now from the Heritage Foundation, 1403 01:32:05,439 --> 01:32:08,000 Speaker 4: where he is a research fellow for China and National 1404 01:32:08,080 --> 01:32:12,120 Speaker 4: Security Policy at the Heritage Foundation, and he has long 1405 01:32:12,200 --> 01:32:15,760 Speaker 4: been one of the guys being able to well understand 1406 01:32:15,960 --> 01:32:18,519 Speaker 4: what's going on in the Middle East and around the globe, 1407 01:32:18,800 --> 01:32:22,759 Speaker 4: not just China, although there is, Steve a rather large 1408 01:32:23,120 --> 01:32:24,400 Speaker 4: China component here. 1409 01:32:24,640 --> 01:32:26,360 Speaker 3: But let's start with the basics. 1410 01:32:26,520 --> 01:32:31,040 Speaker 4: You see this hit on Aran from the United States, 1411 01:32:31,360 --> 01:32:34,800 Speaker 4: what did you immediately think, Well, first. 1412 01:32:35,000 --> 01:32:40,360 Speaker 7: When I heard the President give a very comprehensive video 1413 01:32:40,439 --> 01:32:44,400 Speaker 7: explanation for what the mission was, I mean, I just 1414 01:32:44,439 --> 01:32:47,720 Speaker 7: always go back to thinking about what the lessons of 1415 01:32:47,920 --> 01:32:52,160 Speaker 7: post nine to eleven were, and especially the Iraq War were, 1416 01:32:52,479 --> 01:32:56,240 Speaker 7: because just like in the post nine to eleven environment, 1417 01:32:56,320 --> 01:33:00,880 Speaker 7: there was a shaking off the ghosts of Vietnam with 1418 01:33:01,320 --> 01:33:04,320 Speaker 7: first Golf War and then things that were happening in 1419 01:33:04,680 --> 01:33:07,600 Speaker 7: a lot of ways now, the way President Trump was 1420 01:33:07,680 --> 01:33:09,880 Speaker 7: using force is throwing off the ghosts of the Iraq war, 1421 01:33:09,960 --> 01:33:12,400 Speaker 7: and so what I heard was multiple reasons for why 1422 01:33:12,439 --> 01:33:16,320 Speaker 7: we had to act now, and that the United States 1423 01:33:16,400 --> 01:33:18,240 Speaker 7: was not likely to be putting boots on the ground, 1424 01:33:18,240 --> 01:33:21,519 Speaker 7: but it was bringing overwhelming force in cooperation with another country, 1425 01:33:21,520 --> 01:33:25,800 Speaker 7: in this case Israel. And then Iran's immediate response was 1426 01:33:26,280 --> 01:33:30,160 Speaker 7: to strike at a lot of golf partners who were 1427 01:33:30,479 --> 01:33:34,599 Speaker 7: housing American bases, but the net effect was to take 1428 01:33:34,640 --> 01:33:38,160 Speaker 7: those who might have been fence sitters, and immediately they 1429 01:33:38,200 --> 01:33:42,480 Speaker 7: had a grievance once again with Iran, which really reanimated 1430 01:33:42,560 --> 01:33:46,559 Speaker 7: what the theory behind the Abraham Accords was that the 1431 01:33:46,680 --> 01:33:51,040 Speaker 7: prime reason why these Arab countries were going to normalize 1432 01:33:51,040 --> 01:33:54,000 Speaker 7: relations with Israel and take this different approach and maximum 1433 01:33:54,000 --> 01:33:57,080 Speaker 7: pressure on Iran is because Iran under the theocratic regime 1434 01:33:57,680 --> 01:34:01,240 Speaker 7: was the existential and decent aabilizing force, and now this 1435 01:34:01,320 --> 01:34:06,760 Speaker 7: military operation is aimed at ending that threat. So I 1436 01:34:06,800 --> 01:34:09,960 Speaker 7: was impressed with how the President was couching it. The 1437 01:34:10,040 --> 01:34:13,360 Speaker 7: major military operations have been pretty incredible to watch. We've 1438 01:34:13,400 --> 01:34:17,439 Speaker 7: seen some very advanced weapons systems. I mean, Israel has 1439 01:34:17,800 --> 01:34:20,519 Speaker 7: a very advanced new missile defense system that's been on 1440 01:34:20,560 --> 01:34:24,560 Speaker 7: display that frankly should be shivering the timbers of Russia 1441 01:34:24,640 --> 01:34:29,840 Speaker 7: and China. If our allies are willing and able to 1442 01:34:29,880 --> 01:34:34,000 Speaker 7: share said technology with say Japan and Taiwan, the scales 1443 01:34:34,000 --> 01:34:36,320 Speaker 7: tip in other theaters. It's not just about the Middle East. 1444 01:34:37,040 --> 01:34:41,599 Speaker 7: But so far, I think this has been judiciously executed. Sadly, 1445 01:34:41,640 --> 01:34:44,120 Speaker 7: we've had a few casualties, and some of our allies 1446 01:34:44,160 --> 01:34:48,200 Speaker 7: have had some difficulties, but overall there was a lot 1447 01:34:48,240 --> 01:34:50,479 Speaker 7: of big talk by Iran and some big talk by 1448 01:34:50,560 --> 01:34:53,640 Speaker 7: others in the world, and now we start starting to 1449 01:34:53,680 --> 01:34:56,599 Speaker 7: have I think the weaker leaders of the world sort 1450 01:34:56,600 --> 01:35:00,320 Speaker 7: of admit maybe we shouldn't have just had trumped arrangements 1451 01:35:00,160 --> 01:35:02,720 Speaker 7: and everything is bad, and maybe we should try to 1452 01:35:02,760 --> 01:35:04,280 Speaker 7: be an ally in the United States again. 1453 01:35:04,680 --> 01:35:08,280 Speaker 3: So I spoke to you on Saturday after this happened. 1454 01:35:08,320 --> 01:35:10,400 Speaker 4: I was getting ready for this large event that I 1455 01:35:10,439 --> 01:35:14,160 Speaker 4: was doing Trump one year and one month later and 1456 01:35:14,200 --> 01:35:18,400 Speaker 4: the whole the parties that I often throw, and I 1457 01:35:18,560 --> 01:35:21,599 Speaker 4: had to include this. So you were amongst the first 1458 01:35:21,600 --> 01:35:25,160 Speaker 4: people I called, And what I said to you was, 1459 01:35:25,400 --> 01:35:28,920 Speaker 4: I draw the straight line from the Abraham Accords through 1460 01:35:28,920 --> 01:35:31,599 Speaker 4: October seventh to the Board of Peace to this moment 1461 01:35:32,479 --> 01:35:35,120 Speaker 4: that there is a through line and what we are 1462 01:35:35,200 --> 01:35:39,760 Speaker 4: really looking at is a wethink of how we engage 1463 01:35:39,800 --> 01:35:44,040 Speaker 4: diplomatically and how we engage the Middle East as a whole. 1464 01:35:44,360 --> 01:35:48,040 Speaker 3: And it isn't a policy of get more violent with them. 1465 01:35:48,560 --> 01:35:52,040 Speaker 4: It started going back to the Abraham Accords, a conversation 1466 01:35:52,160 --> 01:35:55,479 Speaker 4: of you don't have to listen to or be afraid 1467 01:35:55,520 --> 01:35:58,040 Speaker 4: of the Iranians if you want to have trade with 1468 01:35:58,160 --> 01:36:00,000 Speaker 4: Israel and start having a normal war. 1469 01:36:01,080 --> 01:36:03,400 Speaker 3: That's where this starts from you. 1470 01:36:04,320 --> 01:36:07,479 Speaker 4: I was thrilled to see agreed with the basic tenets 1471 01:36:07,760 --> 01:36:10,640 Speaker 4: of where I'm at, even if you considered it's sophomoric 1472 01:36:10,720 --> 01:36:13,479 Speaker 4: in my attempt to explain it, which I appreciate you 1473 01:36:13,560 --> 01:36:17,000 Speaker 4: not mocking me for, But I am onto something here. 1474 01:36:18,120 --> 01:36:20,360 Speaker 4: Talk to me about what you saw from the Abraham 1475 01:36:20,360 --> 01:36:23,040 Speaker 4: Accords that would set up a rethink of the Middle 1476 01:36:23,040 --> 01:36:25,680 Speaker 4: East and our presentation towards it. 1477 01:36:26,040 --> 01:36:28,679 Speaker 7: Well, it's not just the youur onto something. You're onto 1478 01:36:28,680 --> 01:36:31,200 Speaker 7: the same thing that President Trump and the core group 1479 01:36:31,280 --> 01:36:34,760 Speaker 7: around him in the first term, we're onto for way 1480 01:36:34,800 --> 01:36:38,800 Speaker 7: too long. The alleged expert class of the world told 1481 01:36:38,880 --> 01:36:41,519 Speaker 7: us that you can't have peace in the Middle East 1482 01:36:41,840 --> 01:36:46,840 Speaker 7: unless you begin with recognizing an independent state for Palestine, 1483 01:36:47,080 --> 01:36:50,840 Speaker 7: whatever that means, and that you have to have some 1484 01:36:50,920 --> 01:36:54,479 Speaker 7: kind of a deal that is essentially compromised with Iran. 1485 01:36:54,560 --> 01:36:57,599 Speaker 7: So you have to super peace with Iran, whether it's 1486 01:36:57,680 --> 01:37:01,559 Speaker 7: palace full of cash, some kind of control arms control deal, 1487 01:37:02,280 --> 01:37:06,240 Speaker 7: but you're accepting some permanent role of Iran under the 1488 01:37:06,240 --> 01:37:11,679 Speaker 7: theocratic leadership, playing a dominant hegemonic like role in the region. 1489 01:37:11,960 --> 01:37:14,519 Speaker 7: And you have to begin with this notion from the 1490 01:37:14,520 --> 01:37:17,320 Speaker 7: bottom up that there's an independent state of Palestine and 1491 01:37:17,360 --> 01:37:20,800 Speaker 7: somehow Israel is fundamentally compromised, and from there you can 1492 01:37:20,840 --> 01:37:24,120 Speaker 7: get to maybe broader dealings in the Middle East. And 1493 01:37:24,360 --> 01:37:28,280 Speaker 7: President Trump wasn't buying that this first term. He was 1494 01:37:28,320 --> 01:37:31,960 Speaker 7: one hundred percent behind the alliance with Israel and moved 1495 01:37:32,400 --> 01:37:37,280 Speaker 7: the recognized capital in Israel, moved our embassy to the 1496 01:37:37,320 --> 01:37:41,759 Speaker 7: recognized capital in Israel. We stopped playing this intellectual game, 1497 01:37:42,680 --> 01:37:47,360 Speaker 7: and we began, frankly to see different reform minded leadership 1498 01:37:47,400 --> 01:37:49,519 Speaker 7: among some of our Arab allies. And I give them 1499 01:37:49,560 --> 01:37:53,760 Speaker 7: a lot of credit for driving this conversation. When America 1500 01:37:53,800 --> 01:37:58,880 Speaker 7: and Israeli politics can get crazy, complicated and funky, the 1501 01:37:59,000 --> 01:38:03,200 Speaker 7: Arab allied leadership was pretty steady in pushing what this 1502 01:38:03,360 --> 01:38:06,920 Speaker 7: vision was, because they too saw the need for a 1503 01:38:07,200 --> 01:38:14,160 Speaker 7: definition of a reformed version of Islamic relations with a state, 1504 01:38:14,560 --> 01:38:18,160 Speaker 7: that these nations need to be nations, not necessarily theocracies. 1505 01:38:18,960 --> 01:38:23,040 Speaker 7: That's an incomplete experiment for a lot of them, but 1506 01:38:23,120 --> 01:38:26,080 Speaker 7: there were voices that were talking this way, and that 1507 01:38:26,280 --> 01:38:29,920 Speaker 7: gives the room for someone like a Trump that, with 1508 01:38:30,040 --> 01:38:33,760 Speaker 7: this board of Peace personified, they look at well, you 1509 01:38:33,800 --> 01:38:38,839 Speaker 7: can change fundamentals by doing deals and doing meaningful things, 1510 01:38:38,920 --> 01:38:41,320 Speaker 7: and people have skin in a different kind of future. 1511 01:38:41,640 --> 01:38:43,280 Speaker 7: And then all of a sudden they realize if we 1512 01:38:43,360 --> 01:38:45,680 Speaker 7: build this building, we build this park, we build this 1513 01:38:45,760 --> 01:38:49,400 Speaker 7: ice rink, we're living together, We're doing these again. All 1514 01:38:49,400 --> 01:38:52,439 Speaker 7: of a sudden, You're not this alien being that I've 1515 01:38:52,760 --> 01:38:55,760 Speaker 7: been told to fear. You're the person that I've been 1516 01:38:55,840 --> 01:38:58,120 Speaker 7: doing these things with, and we're both better off for it. 1517 01:38:58,439 --> 01:39:01,000 Speaker 7: And it's that pragmatism that I think was really really 1518 01:39:01,040 --> 01:39:04,400 Speaker 7: behind the ethos of the abram Accords. The UAE led 1519 01:39:04,600 --> 01:39:07,680 Speaker 7: the way on that in many many ways, and I 1520 01:39:07,720 --> 01:39:10,600 Speaker 7: think we've had a revival of that with getting to 1521 01:39:10,800 --> 01:39:14,760 Speaker 7: your dots, connecting through the travesty of October seven, the 1522 01:39:14,800 --> 01:39:18,240 Speaker 7: reminding people that the theocracy are on in its tentacles 1523 01:39:18,680 --> 01:39:21,760 Speaker 7: have not gone away. They're not in a box, and 1524 01:39:21,840 --> 01:39:23,800 Speaker 7: we have to get back to this and maybe, like 1525 01:39:23,840 --> 01:39:27,759 Speaker 7: Saudi Arabia wobbling a little bit, got pulled back into 1526 01:39:27,800 --> 01:39:30,800 Speaker 7: Oh no, this is going in a bad direction and 1527 01:39:30,840 --> 01:39:32,280 Speaker 7: something more needs to be done. 1528 01:39:32,479 --> 01:39:36,480 Speaker 4: Talking to Stephen Yates the Heritage of Foundation, his expertise 1529 01:39:37,280 --> 01:39:41,960 Speaker 4: is China researchilt for China national security policy, and China 1530 01:39:42,000 --> 01:39:44,680 Speaker 4: plays a huge part in this. I mean his expertise 1531 01:39:44,720 --> 01:39:47,160 Speaker 4: is in multiple places. China has happened to be one 1532 01:39:47,160 --> 01:39:50,080 Speaker 4: of them. I should say China gets oil from Iran. 1533 01:39:50,240 --> 01:39:52,760 Speaker 4: China gets oils from Venezuela. China gets oil from the 1534 01:39:52,760 --> 01:39:56,000 Speaker 4: ghost ships that the Russians are moving around that Venezuelan 1535 01:39:56,120 --> 01:39:58,320 Speaker 4: oil avoiding sanctions. 1536 01:39:57,840 --> 01:39:58,320 Speaker 3: Et cetera. 1537 01:39:58,680 --> 01:40:01,839 Speaker 4: You take out Nicholas Maduro, you end the ghost ships, 1538 01:40:02,120 --> 01:40:05,800 Speaker 4: you end an oil supply. Now you take out the Iranians. 1539 01:40:06,200 --> 01:40:08,960 Speaker 4: We've seen oil prices jump. Opek said they would have 1540 01:40:09,000 --> 01:40:11,600 Speaker 4: a modest increase in oil production of two hundred and 1541 01:40:11,600 --> 01:40:15,679 Speaker 4: six thousand barrels a day. And that is the world 1542 01:40:15,800 --> 01:40:18,400 Speaker 4: really saying the our world really saying, we're not so 1543 01:40:18,520 --> 01:40:21,439 Speaker 4: upset with the Iranians not being around and bothering us anymore. 1544 01:40:21,640 --> 01:40:24,080 Speaker 4: This is better, But we're not going to go overboard 1545 01:40:24,160 --> 01:40:28,040 Speaker 4: until Trump pushes us to go overboard. But you're China, 1546 01:40:28,600 --> 01:40:33,920 Speaker 4: a desperately thirsty nation trying to engage growth. They have 1547 01:40:34,000 --> 01:40:38,080 Speaker 4: had stunted growth because of their own COVID policies. Now 1548 01:40:38,160 --> 01:40:41,000 Speaker 4: you have a manufacturing slow down the world over, which 1549 01:40:41,000 --> 01:40:45,479 Speaker 4: has further exacerbated the issue. You have levels of unrest 1550 01:40:45,560 --> 01:40:48,320 Speaker 4: in China, which of course are put down in a militarily, 1551 01:40:49,280 --> 01:40:52,360 Speaker 4: in a violent and aggressive military type of way, is 1552 01:40:52,360 --> 01:40:57,120 Speaker 4: what I should say there. The removal of the Iranian regime, 1553 01:40:57,640 --> 01:40:59,160 Speaker 4: how does it affect China? 1554 01:40:59,320 --> 01:41:00,879 Speaker 3: And does does that mean. 1555 01:41:00,800 --> 01:41:05,200 Speaker 4: Any level of changes or destabilization in the Pacific rim? 1556 01:41:05,800 --> 01:41:09,560 Speaker 5: I agree all of what you're preamble entailed, and I 1557 01:41:09,560 --> 01:41:11,599 Speaker 5: would only add one layer onto it, just in terms 1558 01:41:11,600 --> 01:41:14,679 Speaker 5: of American decision making, China has long played a role 1559 01:41:14,840 --> 01:41:18,960 Speaker 5: in helping Iran and others get around sanctions. 1560 01:41:18,400 --> 01:41:20,240 Speaker 7: And so everything that was tried to be that was 1561 01:41:20,280 --> 01:41:25,200 Speaker 7: attempted on arms control or counterproliferation, holding back nuclear programs, 1562 01:41:25,439 --> 01:41:27,840 Speaker 7: any sanctions that were put in place, China was front 1563 01:41:27,920 --> 01:41:31,120 Speaker 7: in line to undermine the effect of those kinds of 1564 01:41:31,160 --> 01:41:35,479 Speaker 7: pressure and sanctions, and so there's the supply issue that 1565 01:41:35,520 --> 01:41:40,200 Speaker 7: you actually are pointing to that China's discounted access to 1566 01:41:40,520 --> 01:41:45,120 Speaker 7: vast quantities of oil that is profoundly affected by all 1567 01:41:45,160 --> 01:41:49,439 Speaker 7: of this. And I think that the next realm that 1568 01:41:49,520 --> 01:41:52,560 Speaker 7: has to play out is what happens with these resources. 1569 01:41:53,320 --> 01:41:57,080 Speaker 7: If the Venezuelan oil is genuinely put to good use 1570 01:41:57,120 --> 01:41:59,800 Speaker 7: for the people of Venezuela and it doesn't look like 1571 01:41:59,840 --> 01:42:03,080 Speaker 7: it was just taken into America or Trump inc. As 1572 01:42:03,120 --> 01:42:05,760 Speaker 7: a lot of his critics try to accuse. And if 1573 01:42:05,840 --> 01:42:08,759 Speaker 7: Iranian resources are put back to help the Iranian people, 1574 01:42:09,160 --> 01:42:11,880 Speaker 7: that's another area where it really knocks the legs out 1575 01:42:11,880 --> 01:42:15,080 Speaker 7: from under the theory that the Chinese Communist Party has 1576 01:42:15,080 --> 01:42:18,680 Speaker 7: been selling to its people and the world about what 1577 01:42:18,960 --> 01:42:21,920 Speaker 7: America is in decline, that we're just out there with 1578 01:42:22,640 --> 01:42:26,720 Speaker 7: sort of radical disruptive leadership taking things for ourselves when 1579 01:42:26,760 --> 01:42:31,559 Speaker 7: we're ending protracted problems and maybe turning resources back to 1580 01:42:31,800 --> 01:42:36,839 Speaker 7: good purposes. That's a cancerous idea inside China, because hundreds 1581 01:42:36,880 --> 01:42:40,120 Speaker 7: of millions of people in China are not benefiting from 1582 01:42:40,160 --> 01:42:43,360 Speaker 7: the bright and shining cities. They're not benefiting from the 1583 01:42:43,400 --> 01:42:48,440 Speaker 7: world class GDP producing manufacturing hubs. They're still in grinding 1584 01:42:48,600 --> 01:42:52,520 Speaker 7: situations where they don't share in that dream. The perpetual 1585 01:42:52,560 --> 01:42:55,120 Speaker 7: promise is there to them. So the bursting of these 1586 01:42:55,160 --> 01:42:58,240 Speaker 7: bubbles has an effect in China. 1587 01:42:59,000 --> 01:42:59,240 Speaker 3: Again. 1588 01:42:59,280 --> 01:43:01,640 Speaker 7: We've sort of come back on China, though, where we 1589 01:43:01,680 --> 01:43:04,920 Speaker 7: are dependent on whether their top leader is rational and 1590 01:43:04,960 --> 01:43:08,080 Speaker 7: the people around them at the leadership level of CCP irrational. 1591 01:43:08,360 --> 01:43:12,400 Speaker 7: There's been a purge in the military that should signal well, 1592 01:43:12,400 --> 01:43:14,679 Speaker 7: maybe this isn't the best time to act. They've seen 1593 01:43:14,720 --> 01:43:18,519 Speaker 7: some of their hardware and communications systems operate to no 1594 01:43:18,640 --> 01:43:23,799 Speaker 7: avail in Venezuela and Iran. That would be a sobriety 1595 01:43:23,880 --> 01:43:26,800 Speaker 7: checkpoint you would think in a rational world, about are 1596 01:43:26,840 --> 01:43:31,400 Speaker 7: we really ready to go up to with all its flaws, 1597 01:43:31,400 --> 01:43:35,240 Speaker 7: still the most lethal and effective intelligence and military complex 1598 01:43:35,280 --> 01:43:39,360 Speaker 7: in the world. And if a lot of the things 1599 01:43:39,360 --> 01:43:43,720 Speaker 7: we've been promising to others, we've got these two conflicts, 1600 01:43:43,720 --> 01:43:47,120 Speaker 7: and what's China's role been but a sidelined observer and 1601 01:43:47,240 --> 01:43:51,400 Speaker 7: issuer of angry letters when it came to Venezuela and Iran. 1602 01:43:51,880 --> 01:43:54,840 Speaker 7: That's not exactly the power move that they've been trying 1603 01:43:54,880 --> 01:43:57,439 Speaker 7: to sell with their people and their neighbors. So I'd 1604 01:43:57,600 --> 01:43:59,960 Speaker 7: like to believe that while I don't think it's as 1605 01:44:00,080 --> 01:44:04,679 Speaker 7: the prime move or motivation by the President and others 1606 01:44:04,720 --> 01:44:06,880 Speaker 7: to do what they've done with Iran, I than that 1607 01:44:07,160 --> 01:44:11,640 Speaker 7: effect is improving our options set to deter China. But 1608 01:44:12,080 --> 01:44:14,280 Speaker 7: I also hope that it's a wake up call to us. 1609 01:44:14,479 --> 01:44:18,439 Speaker 7: We only have this because we won tech races of 1610 01:44:18,439 --> 01:44:23,960 Speaker 7: the past, We've won military modernizations of the past. We've 1611 01:44:24,000 --> 01:44:27,240 Speaker 7: got to win the Ai war and the space war 1612 01:44:27,760 --> 01:44:29,720 Speaker 7: of the future if we're going to be able to 1613 01:44:29,760 --> 01:44:32,599 Speaker 7: do for ourselves what we see Israel and the United 1614 01:44:32,600 --> 01:44:34,040 Speaker 7: States doing for others. 1615 01:44:34,120 --> 01:44:37,519 Speaker 4: Now, before I let you go talking to Stephen Yates 1616 01:44:37,600 --> 01:44:43,240 Speaker 4: of the Heritage of Foundation, world reaction is no one 1617 01:44:43,320 --> 01:44:48,080 Speaker 4: rushing to the side of the Ayatola. You don't see 1618 01:44:48,120 --> 01:44:51,439 Speaker 4: this from Arab nations, and you talk about how Iran 1619 01:44:51,600 --> 01:44:55,040 Speaker 4: lashed out at them, preventing them from even coming to 1620 01:44:55,160 --> 01:44:59,400 Speaker 4: their side, which is a you're right crazed. What's the 1621 01:44:59,439 --> 01:45:01,840 Speaker 4: next leader ship of Iran? Is the crown prints coming 1622 01:45:01,880 --> 01:45:04,559 Speaker 4: back as you see it or in about sixty seconds? 1623 01:45:04,560 --> 01:45:06,799 Speaker 3: What is the next move? What can we expect to see? 1624 01:45:07,120 --> 01:45:09,400 Speaker 7: Well, there's what we would like to see, which is 1625 01:45:09,520 --> 01:45:13,599 Speaker 7: the free people of Iran getting their wish and having 1626 01:45:13,640 --> 01:45:17,160 Speaker 7: no remnants of an evil regime playing a role in 1627 01:45:17,560 --> 01:45:20,080 Speaker 7: real life and in the options that we have in 1628 01:45:20,080 --> 01:45:22,759 Speaker 7: the near future. I think the Trump administration is looking for, 1629 01:45:23,120 --> 01:45:26,400 Speaker 7: are there remnants of institutions that might be reform minded, 1630 01:45:26,400 --> 01:45:27,920 Speaker 7: that might be able to work in the way the 1631 01:45:27,960 --> 01:45:31,360 Speaker 7: remnants in Venezuela have for different results, to then work 1632 01:45:31,400 --> 01:45:35,360 Speaker 7: toward a transition where there's true liberation and no more 1633 01:45:36,040 --> 01:45:39,679 Speaker 7: of a legacy of this regime. But the Persian culture 1634 01:45:39,840 --> 01:45:43,600 Speaker 7: is not naturally Islamist. There's a foundation on which to 1635 01:45:43,680 --> 01:45:47,360 Speaker 7: work and build, and those people don't want an Islamist 1636 01:45:48,040 --> 01:45:52,639 Speaker 7: inheritor to the Iatola's regime, and so I think that's 1637 01:45:52,640 --> 01:45:55,080 Speaker 7: where we have to have our partners in the world 1638 01:45:55,360 --> 01:45:58,400 Speaker 7: play more of a role economically and politically and helping 1639 01:45:58,560 --> 01:46:02,519 Speaker 7: read and shape this and empower those people. We're doing 1640 01:46:02,560 --> 01:46:05,120 Speaker 7: the break it part, but the rest of the world's 1641 01:46:05,120 --> 01:46:07,880 Speaker 7: going to have to do their part in the build 1642 01:46:08,000 --> 01:46:10,559 Speaker 7: up and securing that future for the Iranian people. 1643 01:46:10,760 --> 01:46:13,640 Speaker 4: Steven Yates of the Heritage Foundation, I appreciate taking the 1644 01:46:13,680 --> 01:46:15,680 Speaker 4: time to be with us.

I'm not saying I'm 1653 01:46:40,920 --> 01:46:42,960 Speaker 4: the biggest Cornyn guy in the guy in the world. 1654 01:46:43,040 --> 01:46:46,920 Speaker 4: I am saying that if if Cornyn isn't the guy 1655 01:46:46,960 --> 01:46:50,880 Speaker 4: and Paxton is, Paxton is the guy who is most 1656 01:46:50,960 --> 01:46:54,320 Speaker 4: beatable for the Republicans. Not Wesley Hunt, not John Gordon, 1657 01:46:54,760 --> 01:46:57,879 Speaker 4: it's Paxton. And I don't know if you want Paxson 1658 01:46:57,880 --> 01:47:01,960 Speaker 4: against tal Rico or Crockett, because if tall Rico actually 1659 01:47:02,040 --> 01:47:03,560 Speaker 4: gets this nomination. 1660 01:47:04,160 --> 01:47:06,800 Speaker 3: It's not that he's smart, it's just. 1661 01:47:06,720 --> 01:47:09,880 Speaker 4: Going to be more difficult. Paxton tall Rico. I think 1662 01:47:09,880 --> 01:47:12,479 Speaker 4: that's how you pronounced the Democrats last name. Not gonna 1663 01:47:12,520 --> 01:47:16,120 Speaker 4: be easy, way too hard of an uphill battle. 1664 01:47:16,280 --> 01:47:19,400 Speaker 3: I don't like it Cornyn. He doesn't do everything I like. 1665 01:47:19,439 --> 01:47:22,080 Speaker 4: It doesn't vote every way I like it's an easier road. 1666 01:47:23,000 --> 01:47:25,879 Speaker 4: I don't know what the Texans are going to do tomorrow, 1667 01:47:25,880 --> 01:47:29,280 Speaker 4: but man, everyone has gotten to be watching. 1668 01:47:30,000 --> 01:47:32,400 Speaker 3: It's gonna be very interesting to see what happens.
