1 00:00:00,760 --> 00:00:02,719 Speaker 1: It's the Hamra of Nigel Show. My name is Nigel. 2 00:00:02,920 --> 00:00:06,040 Speaker 1: Jerry Lopez, filling in for Jason Hammer, goes straight to 3 00:00:06,040 --> 00:00:06,480 Speaker 1: the hotline. 4 00:00:06,519 --> 00:00:06,840 Speaker 2: Bring on. 5 00:00:06,880 --> 00:00:11,360 Speaker 1: Bright Bard News National Security deputy editor John Hayward, one 6 00:00:11,400 --> 00:00:14,640 Speaker 1: of the best at breaking down exactly what you need 7 00:00:14,640 --> 00:00:18,800 Speaker 1: to know about what's going on all things national security 8 00:00:18,960 --> 00:00:23,720 Speaker 1: Operation Epic Fury Day seven. John, Let's briefly go back 9 00:00:23,800 --> 00:00:27,040 Speaker 1: seven days. What happened last weekend with the United States 10 00:00:27,040 --> 00:00:31,080 Speaker 1: and Israel attacking Iran? And then how have we progressed? 11 00:00:31,200 --> 00:00:33,120 Speaker 1: What are we seeing now seven days later? 12 00:00:33,440 --> 00:00:36,120 Speaker 2: Well, the opening moves were a decapitation strike on the 13 00:00:36,159 --> 00:00:39,479 Speaker 2: Iranian regime, which got their supreme leader i ha Toldlahamini 14 00:00:39,680 --> 00:00:42,479 Speaker 2: and a lot of their other top military and political leaders. 15 00:00:42,680 --> 00:00:45,159 Speaker 2: And then we've peeled away their air defenses, wiped out 16 00:00:45,200 --> 00:00:47,760 Speaker 2: everything they've got pretty much that they can impose us 17 00:00:47,760 --> 00:00:49,800 Speaker 2: in the sky. The Iranian navy was sunk in the 18 00:00:49,800 --> 00:00:51,559 Speaker 2: early part of this week or I don't think they 19 00:00:51,560 --> 00:00:54,320 Speaker 2: have any surface vessels left except for one that took 20 00:00:54,360 --> 00:00:57,000 Speaker 2: refuge in another country and has promised to stay out 21 00:00:57,040 --> 00:01:00,480 Speaker 2: of the battle. And according to both US and Israeli officials, 22 00:01:00,640 --> 00:01:04,440 Speaker 2: Iran's ballistic missile launch capability has been almost completely degraded, 23 00:01:04,640 --> 00:01:06,959 Speaker 2: and you can see that and that it's now sporadic. 24 00:01:07,000 --> 00:01:09,720 Speaker 2: They're launching the drone here or missile. They're still shooting 25 00:01:09,720 --> 00:01:13,360 Speaker 2: at their neighbors, especially the United Arab Emirates, more than 26 00:01:13,400 --> 00:01:16,000 Speaker 2: anybody else, but they really seem to have lost most 27 00:01:16,040 --> 00:01:18,240 Speaker 2: of their long range strike capability at this point one 28 00:01:18,280 --> 00:01:19,200 Speaker 2: week into the conflict. 29 00:01:19,480 --> 00:01:22,000 Speaker 1: And this is a basic question, but I mean, why 30 00:01:22,040 --> 00:01:26,280 Speaker 1: did the United States decide to do this along with Israel. 31 00:01:27,480 --> 00:01:31,200 Speaker 2: Well, the big reason was rans and transigence and nuclear negotiations. 32 00:01:31,200 --> 00:01:34,199 Speaker 2: We found out after the conflict started that the Iranians 33 00:01:34,240 --> 00:01:36,679 Speaker 2: met with Steve Whitcoff, who was President of Trump's envoy, 34 00:01:36,920 --> 00:01:39,360 Speaker 2: and they bluntly told them We've got enough material to 35 00:01:39,360 --> 00:01:41,759 Speaker 2: make eleven bombs and you can't stop us. 36 00:01:41,800 --> 00:01:44,640 Speaker 1: And that's the way they started out the wait, that's 37 00:01:44,680 --> 00:01:47,280 Speaker 1: the way the Iranians started out the negotiations. 38 00:01:47,520 --> 00:01:49,320 Speaker 2: Well how they started it on the last day of 39 00:01:49,360 --> 00:01:52,760 Speaker 2: the negotiations, I guess they've been maneuvering. The Iranians have 40 00:01:52,840 --> 00:01:55,920 Speaker 2: always been criticized for delaying tactics. They always say they 41 00:01:55,920 --> 00:01:59,000 Speaker 2: want to talk and they claim the negotiations are going well, 42 00:01:59,120 --> 00:02:01,440 Speaker 2: and then it turns out they never changed their demands. 43 00:02:01,480 --> 00:02:04,160 Speaker 2: They always just say, stop making demands of us. We're 44 00:02:04,160 --> 00:02:05,680 Speaker 2: going to do whatever we want to do. We have 45 00:02:05,720 --> 00:02:08,560 Speaker 2: a sacred right to enrich uranium. Now give us money. 46 00:02:08,720 --> 00:02:11,919 Speaker 2: That's basically everything their negotiations turned into all the time. 47 00:02:12,120 --> 00:02:14,120 Speaker 2: And you could tell, I think even before this all 48 00:02:14,120 --> 00:02:17,520 Speaker 2: started last Saturday, I could tell Wednesday Thursday, the fact 49 00:02:17,520 --> 00:02:20,320 Speaker 2: that the Trump administration was not saying a word about 50 00:02:20,360 --> 00:02:23,080 Speaker 2: the last round of negotiations told me that their nerves 51 00:02:23,120 --> 00:02:25,840 Speaker 2: had been freed and they were withsend with the Iranians. 52 00:02:25,919 --> 00:02:27,600 Speaker 3: So this situation was a little bit different from me, 53 00:02:27,680 --> 00:02:27,799 Speaker 3: was it. 54 00:02:27,880 --> 00:02:30,000 Speaker 4: Midnight Hammer was the last one where we attacked and 55 00:02:30,040 --> 00:02:32,360 Speaker 4: then they essentially called Israel and said, hey, we're going 56 00:02:32,400 --> 00:02:34,160 Speaker 4: to send a bunch of drones your way, and then 57 00:02:34,160 --> 00:02:35,480 Speaker 4: we just shot them out of the sky. 58 00:02:35,680 --> 00:02:36,480 Speaker 3: Nothing landed. 59 00:02:36,800 --> 00:02:39,560 Speaker 4: In this case, they actually attacked their neighbors, and I 60 00:02:39,600 --> 00:02:42,200 Speaker 4: think that changed the course of this whole engagement. 61 00:02:42,720 --> 00:02:45,160 Speaker 2: It did, and it was a little surprising for the neighbors. 62 00:02:45,160 --> 00:02:48,120 Speaker 2: They weren't completely flat footed. Defenses were up. We knew 63 00:02:48,160 --> 00:02:50,320 Speaker 2: there could be trouble. But I think some of Iran's 64 00:02:50,320 --> 00:02:53,280 Speaker 2: neighbors were a little surprised at how heavily they attacked 65 00:02:53,280 --> 00:02:55,640 Speaker 2: them when they were not part of the conflict, And 66 00:02:55,760 --> 00:02:59,080 Speaker 2: particularly the big two things that were stunning to a 67 00:02:59,080 --> 00:03:02,040 Speaker 2: lot of observers, where Iran shot a missile at Turkey, 68 00:03:02,280 --> 00:03:04,520 Speaker 2: which has been probably their best friend in the region 69 00:03:04,560 --> 00:03:07,560 Speaker 2: up until now, and Azerbaijan, which is a fellow Shiite 70 00:03:07,639 --> 00:03:10,600 Speaker 2: Musslim nation. It was a close Iranian ally. Turkey has 71 00:03:10,680 --> 00:03:13,160 Speaker 2: kind of rolled with the punch because the missile was intercepted, 72 00:03:13,400 --> 00:03:15,120 Speaker 2: and they're being pretty quiet about it all. But the 73 00:03:15,280 --> 00:03:18,320 Speaker 2: Sis are just furious that Iran attacked them, and they've 74 00:03:18,360 --> 00:03:19,400 Speaker 2: been vowing to retaliate. 75 00:03:19,520 --> 00:03:24,360 Speaker 1: And what is the rationale for Iran attacking its neighbors, 76 00:03:24,480 --> 00:03:27,679 Speaker 1: not just American interest or Israeli interests? 77 00:03:28,120 --> 00:03:30,200 Speaker 2: It seems weird. Why would they do that and turn 78 00:03:30,280 --> 00:03:32,720 Speaker 2: the whole region against them? But one reason is because 79 00:03:32,760 --> 00:03:35,720 Speaker 2: they want to conduct economic warfare. And the targets they've 80 00:03:35,760 --> 00:03:39,400 Speaker 2: been picking in countries like Saudi Arabia, the Amarades, Qatar, 81 00:03:39,680 --> 00:03:42,560 Speaker 2: they've been hitting energy targets. The Kataris are fearious. Qatar 82 00:03:42,600 --> 00:03:45,240 Speaker 2: stood by Iran for a long time. They actually got 83 00:03:45,320 --> 00:03:47,480 Speaker 2: kicked out of the club down there in the Middle 84 00:03:47,520 --> 00:03:49,800 Speaker 2: East a few years ago during President Trump's first term, 85 00:03:50,040 --> 00:03:52,400 Speaker 2: because they were perceived as being too close to Iran. 86 00:03:52,680 --> 00:03:54,839 Speaker 2: And now the Qataris are just as mad as could 87 00:03:54,840 --> 00:03:57,160 Speaker 2: be that this is their reward, that Iran showers them 88 00:03:57,160 --> 00:03:59,360 Speaker 2: with drones and missiles and when they feel their back 89 00:03:59,400 --> 00:04:01,600 Speaker 2: is against the wall. But it's all about shutting down 90 00:04:01,640 --> 00:04:04,080 Speaker 2: oil and liquid natural gas shipments out of the Middle 91 00:04:04,120 --> 00:04:06,440 Speaker 2: East to inflict some pain on the rest of the world. 92 00:04:06,600 --> 00:04:09,280 Speaker 2: And also the Iranians are hoping to spread the war, 93 00:04:09,600 --> 00:04:12,800 Speaker 2: to create more of a general chaos situation and maybe 94 00:04:12,840 --> 00:04:15,400 Speaker 2: to trigger some she Eyed uprisings in some of these 95 00:04:15,400 --> 00:04:19,919 Speaker 2: other countries. Every Sunni Arab country has a large unhappy 96 00:04:19,960 --> 00:04:23,039 Speaker 2: site population, and those Sheaites tend to be loyal to 97 00:04:23,120 --> 00:04:26,120 Speaker 2: Iran and supported by Iran. So I think the Iranians 98 00:04:26,120 --> 00:04:28,000 Speaker 2: were hoping, and I don't think it's happened yet that 99 00:04:28,080 --> 00:04:30,279 Speaker 2: the Saites in these other countries would rise up and 100 00:04:30,320 --> 00:04:32,120 Speaker 2: attack their governments if Iran started off. 101 00:04:32,200 --> 00:04:33,880 Speaker 1: Hasn't happened. I don't think it's happened yet. 102 00:04:33,960 --> 00:04:34,560 Speaker 2: Hasn't Well. 103 00:04:34,760 --> 00:04:37,159 Speaker 4: I guess my question is you you touched on the 104 00:04:37,240 --> 00:04:40,320 Speaker 4: navy kind of being gone the ballistic firing being gone. 105 00:04:40,480 --> 00:04:41,880 Speaker 4: I think one of the things people really need to 106 00:04:41,920 --> 00:04:44,000 Speaker 4: focus on is that straight ohrne moves where everything is 107 00:04:44,040 --> 00:04:47,239 Speaker 4: going through, all products, all oil, everything is going through. 108 00:04:47,560 --> 00:04:49,599 Speaker 4: Can they still shut that down if they don't have 109 00:04:49,640 --> 00:04:52,240 Speaker 4: a navy or capabilities or is that part of the process. 110 00:04:53,160 --> 00:04:56,400 Speaker 2: Well, Unfortunately, they can threaten it because they still have missiles. 111 00:04:56,560 --> 00:04:59,440 Speaker 2: The Strada Hormuz is relatively narrow. Iran has a huge 112 00:04:59,480 --> 00:05:02,720 Speaker 2: amount of terror ratory in that area that they've costumed 113 00:05:02,760 --> 00:05:05,480 Speaker 2: with missiles, and they've got plenty of short range weapons 114 00:05:05,480 --> 00:05:07,920 Speaker 2: they can lob at tankers, so they're a real threat. Now. 115 00:05:07,920 --> 00:05:10,560 Speaker 2: President Trump has said the US Navy will protect shipping 116 00:05:10,800 --> 00:05:13,800 Speaker 2: and the United States will also provide insurance if private 117 00:05:13,800 --> 00:05:16,360 Speaker 2: insurance companies won't step up to get oil moving through 118 00:05:16,400 --> 00:05:18,560 Speaker 2: the strait again, But there hasn't been a lot of 119 00:05:18,600 --> 00:05:20,880 Speaker 2: movement on that front yet. I think the shipping industry 120 00:05:20,920 --> 00:05:23,720 Speaker 2: is still very nervous about subjecting themselves to our Nian 121 00:05:23,760 --> 00:05:25,440 Speaker 2: attacks that they try to move through the straight and 122 00:05:25,480 --> 00:05:28,120 Speaker 2: fore moves until we take out all those missiles, and 123 00:05:28,160 --> 00:05:30,320 Speaker 2: that's it's all order. You're talking about a real brier 124 00:05:30,360 --> 00:05:31,920 Speaker 2: patch of missile launchers there. 125 00:05:32,200 --> 00:05:36,560 Speaker 1: Right bart News National Security deputy editor John Hayward. The 126 00:05:36,600 --> 00:05:42,159 Speaker 1: idea that we're hearing that Donald Trump is being led 127 00:05:42,200 --> 00:05:47,400 Speaker 1: on a leash by Israel and BB and those kinds 128 00:05:47,440 --> 00:05:51,640 Speaker 1: of talking points coming from the left, is that legitimate 129 00:05:51,720 --> 00:05:52,320 Speaker 1: in any way? 130 00:05:52,520 --> 00:05:56,000 Speaker 2: John, No, No, that's transparently not true. I mean, you 131 00:05:56,040 --> 00:05:57,919 Speaker 2: just have to listen to anybody involved in all this 132 00:05:58,320 --> 00:06:00,440 Speaker 2: and the way that they talk about it that Israel 133 00:06:00,560 --> 00:06:03,200 Speaker 2: leading us around. Israel didn't force us into this. It 134 00:06:03,279 --> 00:06:05,400 Speaker 2: was a joint agreement on the part of Trump and 135 00:06:05,440 --> 00:06:08,080 Speaker 2: Benjamin Denya, who they're close. They talk a lot. They 136 00:06:08,120 --> 00:06:10,440 Speaker 2: worked on this together. They talked to each other about 137 00:06:10,440 --> 00:06:12,960 Speaker 2: what was coming next. President Trump said that he thought 138 00:06:12,960 --> 00:06:15,320 Speaker 2: with Iran saying what it said about being ready to 139 00:06:15,320 --> 00:06:18,039 Speaker 2: go on nuclear weapons, Israel had no choice but to 140 00:06:18,080 --> 00:06:19,640 Speaker 2: move and we were going to back them all the way. 141 00:06:19,680 --> 00:06:21,880 Speaker 2: So nobody was dragging anybody else into anything. 142 00:06:22,120 --> 00:06:23,960 Speaker 3: Hey, John, I have got to ask this question. 143 00:06:24,040 --> 00:06:28,520 Speaker 4: So my parents are from Cuba, and as we know, Venezuela, Iran, 144 00:06:28,720 --> 00:06:31,360 Speaker 4: both those people have used Cuba kind of as a 145 00:06:31,440 --> 00:06:34,840 Speaker 4: launching pad, and the Cuban people have really suffered because 146 00:06:34,839 --> 00:06:37,839 Speaker 4: of the regimes. My family couldn't wait for Fadell to leave. 147 00:06:38,279 --> 00:06:40,800 Speaker 4: Then it was Raoul. Now they have a new president. 148 00:06:41,680 --> 00:06:44,280 Speaker 4: Is Cuba next? And that president has come out and said, hey, 149 00:06:44,279 --> 00:06:46,440 Speaker 4: we're willing to talk. Now, we'll talk to you about anything. 150 00:06:46,520 --> 00:06:48,360 Speaker 3: Is that? I mean? I hope that's the next domino 151 00:06:48,360 --> 00:06:48,600 Speaker 3: to fall. 152 00:06:48,600 --> 00:06:50,560 Speaker 4: And it's always crazy to me that it's it's so 153 00:06:50,720 --> 00:06:52,200 Speaker 4: close that people raft it. 154 00:06:52,200 --> 00:06:53,440 Speaker 3: It's closer than Hawaii. 155 00:06:53,520 --> 00:06:56,240 Speaker 4: Why would we allow this communist oppressive regime to be 156 00:06:56,360 --> 00:06:57,599 Speaker 4: right off our swore in Florida. 157 00:06:58,720 --> 00:07:01,120 Speaker 2: Well, President and Trump explicit least said Cuba is next. 158 00:07:01,160 --> 00:07:03,080 Speaker 2: I think he used exactly those words. So I think 159 00:07:03,120 --> 00:07:05,640 Speaker 2: it's a say that something is going to happen there. 160 00:07:05,760 --> 00:07:08,480 Speaker 2: Cubans in a really bad spot. After Venezuela went down, 161 00:07:08,560 --> 00:07:11,840 Speaker 2: Nicholas Madiro captured, the supply of oil from Venezuela to 162 00:07:11,880 --> 00:07:15,320 Speaker 2: Cuba was shut down, which absolutely destroyed their economy. And 163 00:07:15,360 --> 00:07:18,440 Speaker 2: the Cubans are looking for help from their communist socialist 164 00:07:18,440 --> 00:07:21,360 Speaker 2: allies Russia, China, and there's nothing and nobody's going to 165 00:07:21,360 --> 00:07:24,040 Speaker 2: help them. So the Cuban regime is visibly I think 166 00:07:24,240 --> 00:07:26,240 Speaker 2: you noticed there that are starting to sound a lot 167 00:07:26,320 --> 00:07:29,080 Speaker 2: less belligerent and a lot less death to America and 168 00:07:29,120 --> 00:07:31,000 Speaker 2: a lot more. Hey, let's talk, let's make a deal. 169 00:07:31,120 --> 00:07:31,960 Speaker 2: Let's put an end to this. 170 00:07:32,480 --> 00:07:36,720 Speaker 1: Speaking with Brian Bart, News National Security Deputy editor John Hayward, Now, 171 00:07:37,120 --> 00:07:39,680 Speaker 1: I've always deferred to the Iranian people, the citizens, the 172 00:07:39,680 --> 00:07:41,800 Speaker 1: people that live there in Iran. It seems like there 173 00:07:41,880 --> 00:07:45,160 Speaker 1: was a lot of celebration when the attacks first started. 174 00:07:45,200 --> 00:07:48,080 Speaker 1: What has been the general response from not only the 175 00:07:48,120 --> 00:07:52,040 Speaker 1: Iranians there, you know, ninety plus million of them, but 176 00:07:52,280 --> 00:07:53,360 Speaker 1: around the world as. 177 00:07:53,200 --> 00:07:56,320 Speaker 2: Well, the Iranian resistance. I've talked to some members of it, 178 00:07:56,360 --> 00:07:58,280 Speaker 2: and I've seen what they've been saying, and they're a 179 00:07:58,320 --> 00:08:00,559 Speaker 2: little nervous right now because they know how love thirsty 180 00:08:00,720 --> 00:08:03,280 Speaker 2: the regime is. And if the Iranian people start going 181 00:08:03,280 --> 00:08:05,560 Speaker 2: into the streets right now, of course it's unsafe. President 182 00:08:05,560 --> 00:08:08,160 Speaker 2: Trump told them, don't go holding protests while there's bombs 183 00:08:08,160 --> 00:08:10,240 Speaker 2: all over the place. But even if they wanted to, 184 00:08:10,480 --> 00:08:12,360 Speaker 2: there would be a real chance if they approached some 185 00:08:12,440 --> 00:08:15,240 Speaker 2: Iranian government building waving placards, they would be gunned down 186 00:08:15,280 --> 00:08:18,080 Speaker 2: on moss without hesitation. And they know that. So this 187 00:08:18,120 --> 00:08:19,760 Speaker 2: is not the time for them to take to the 188 00:08:19,760 --> 00:08:22,480 Speaker 2: streets or speak up, but that they may be coming soon, 189 00:08:22,760 --> 00:08:26,320 Speaker 2: especially if the capabilities of a Rand's Islamic Revolutionary Guard 190 00:08:26,320 --> 00:08:29,360 Speaker 2: Corps are severely degraded. They're the guys that are both 191 00:08:29,360 --> 00:08:32,720 Speaker 2: in charge of espionage and terrorism overseas, but also they 192 00:08:32,760 --> 00:08:35,439 Speaker 2: kill their own people. They're the crackdown artists. And if 193 00:08:35,480 --> 00:08:38,520 Speaker 2: that force is severely degraded, then it might be safe 194 00:08:38,559 --> 00:08:40,720 Speaker 2: for the Iranian people to come out one more time. 195 00:08:40,880 --> 00:08:43,240 Speaker 2: They've had a bunch of big uprisings over the past 196 00:08:43,240 --> 00:08:45,480 Speaker 2: few years. This could be the one that does the job. 197 00:08:45,880 --> 00:08:48,040 Speaker 4: Where is the rest of the access of evil? I mean, 198 00:08:48,040 --> 00:08:50,080 Speaker 4: we haven't heard anything from China, we have anything from 199 00:08:50,160 --> 00:08:53,080 Speaker 4: russ They're kind of hands off on everything. What are 200 00:08:53,080 --> 00:08:55,040 Speaker 4: they doing and kind of like, what's going on? We 201 00:08:55,400 --> 00:08:57,880 Speaker 4: just went after Iran, and I would assume people said, oh, 202 00:08:57,920 --> 00:09:00,480 Speaker 4: World War three. Seems like all they're partners are being 203 00:09:00,480 --> 00:09:01,360 Speaker 4: pretty quiet right now. 204 00:09:01,920 --> 00:09:04,440 Speaker 2: They're complaining about it. I mean, China and Russia have 205 00:09:04,440 --> 00:09:06,400 Speaker 2: both put out statements from their foreign ministries and so 206 00:09:06,440 --> 00:09:10,040 Speaker 2: forth denouncing the attacks and complaining. And the Chinese said 207 00:09:10,080 --> 00:09:12,760 Speaker 2: something like America's addicted to war. So they're complaining, but 208 00:09:12,800 --> 00:09:15,960 Speaker 2: they're not doing anything but complaining the funniest thing about 209 00:09:16,040 --> 00:09:19,040 Speaker 2: China is we just heard from Taiwan yesterday and they 210 00:09:19,080 --> 00:09:21,880 Speaker 2: said all of the Chinese ships and planes that usually 211 00:09:21,920 --> 00:09:24,600 Speaker 2: circle the island and harasses are gone. They don't have 212 00:09:24,640 --> 00:09:27,640 Speaker 2: any gas anymore, they can't operate the end of the 213 00:09:27,640 --> 00:09:29,240 Speaker 2: Iran war, so they all went home. 214 00:09:29,600 --> 00:09:32,199 Speaker 1: What China gets, China gets a bunch of its oil, 215 00:09:32,640 --> 00:09:36,560 Speaker 1: like a huge percentage of its oil from Iran and Venezuela. 216 00:09:36,120 --> 00:09:38,880 Speaker 2: Correct yeh, and also through the Persian Gulf from other 217 00:09:38,880 --> 00:09:40,880 Speaker 2: sources which is now shut down because of the straight 218 00:09:40,920 --> 00:09:42,760 Speaker 2: or home moves. So they're looking at close to half 219 00:09:42,840 --> 00:09:46,640 Speaker 2: their energy supply severally compromised here, and that China cannot 220 00:09:46,640 --> 00:09:48,960 Speaker 2: handle that. There's no way they can absorb that. They're 221 00:09:48,960 --> 00:09:51,680 Speaker 2: having a big government meeting in China, legislative meeting, and 222 00:09:51,679 --> 00:09:53,880 Speaker 2: they're trying to put on a happy face and saying, oh, 223 00:09:53,920 --> 00:09:56,040 Speaker 2: we're going to revise our growth rates down just a 224 00:09:56,040 --> 00:09:58,080 Speaker 2: little bit here because of this little bit of trouble. 225 00:09:58,440 --> 00:10:00,280 Speaker 2: That do not believe that. They are scared to death. 226 00:10:00,320 --> 00:10:02,240 Speaker 2: They don't know what's coming next, and they don't know 227 00:10:02,280 --> 00:10:03,720 Speaker 2: what they're going to be able to do about it. 228 00:10:03,760 --> 00:10:06,200 Speaker 2: If their oil supply remains cut off for weeks to come, 229 00:10:06,480 --> 00:10:08,640 Speaker 2: or if they never get that Arenian oil back. If 230 00:10:08,679 --> 00:10:11,319 Speaker 2: the United States lines up taking over Iran or has 231 00:10:11,360 --> 00:10:13,400 Speaker 2: a friendly regime in there that agrees not to sell 232 00:10:13,400 --> 00:10:15,200 Speaker 2: oil to China. I really don't think they know what 233 00:10:15,200 --> 00:10:16,240 Speaker 2: they're going to do over there. 234 00:10:16,320 --> 00:10:16,560 Speaker 3: John. 235 00:10:16,600 --> 00:10:18,640 Speaker 1: Finally, before we let you go, any thoughts on Donald 236 00:10:18,679 --> 00:10:21,520 Speaker 1: Trump and the firing of Christy Nome, Department of Homeland 237 00:10:21,559 --> 00:10:25,800 Speaker 1: Security secretary. Just your thirty thousand foot on what took place. 238 00:10:26,480 --> 00:10:28,600 Speaker 2: I've heard there was some tension building up there that 239 00:10:28,760 --> 00:10:31,360 Speaker 2: Trump wasn't happy that was some things she'd done lately. 240 00:10:31,520 --> 00:10:33,840 Speaker 2: A lot of it were just decisions she made about 241 00:10:33,880 --> 00:10:36,600 Speaker 2: how to spend the department's money advertising and things like that, 242 00:10:36,679 --> 00:10:39,920 Speaker 2: you know, or personal relations. I think it's probably something 243 00:10:39,920 --> 00:10:42,600 Speaker 2: Trump felt was for the best. It resets the Department 244 00:10:42,640 --> 00:10:45,320 Speaker 2: of Homeland Security. You know, it's very controversial in Congress. 245 00:10:45,400 --> 00:10:47,520 Speaker 2: The Democrats are trying to defund it, you know, and 246 00:10:47,559 --> 00:10:49,560 Speaker 2: shut it down. So I think putting a new face 247 00:10:49,600 --> 00:10:51,320 Speaker 2: in there was probably the right thing to do to 248 00:10:51,400 --> 00:10:54,000 Speaker 2: just reset that conversation, and it's probably going to be effective. 249 00:10:54,200 --> 00:10:57,319 Speaker 2: Personnel changes at that level usually do change the conversation 250 00:10:57,400 --> 00:10:57,960 Speaker 2: in Congress. 251 00:10:58,040 --> 00:11:00,240 Speaker 1: One of the best find his work at at right 252 00:11:00,280 --> 00:11:05,199 Speaker 1: bart dot com. John Hayward is Breitbart's National Security Deputy editor. 253 00:11:05,320 --> 00:11:05,560 Speaker 3: John. 254 00:11:05,800 --> 00:11:09,080 Speaker 1: Always love having you on. Please come back soon with 255 00:11:09,120 --> 00:11:09,640 Speaker 1: an update. 256 00:11:10,760 --> 00:11:12,079 Speaker 2: Absolutely would be my pleasure.
