1 00:00:00,040 --> 00:00:05,840 Speaker 1: Hey, Michael, legislators in this town are absolutely insane, and 2 00:00:05,960 --> 00:00:09,680 Speaker 1: I guarantee you run caps are going to be coming 3 00:00:09,720 --> 00:00:12,000 Speaker 1: to Denver. They are going to try their very hardest 4 00:00:12,000 --> 00:00:15,040 Speaker 1: to get it done here. It's been a disaster everywhere else, 5 00:00:15,080 --> 00:00:18,520 Speaker 1: so why not try it here. They're absolute idiots down 6 00:00:18,560 --> 00:00:19,520 Speaker 1: at the Capitol building. 7 00:00:22,000 --> 00:00:27,720 Speaker 2: Yeah, and that was something new. Not trying to be 8 00:00:27,760 --> 00:00:31,200 Speaker 2: a smart ass, but yes, we know. Let's go to 9 00:00:32,360 --> 00:00:36,360 Speaker 2: the Iranian war for a moment. Here's here's what I 10 00:00:36,360 --> 00:00:42,520 Speaker 2: would here. Here's the top line. Carg Island is Iran's 11 00:00:42,680 --> 00:00:46,000 Speaker 2: main oil hub. It's about fifteen miles off the Iranian coast. 12 00:00:46,000 --> 00:00:50,000 Speaker 2: It sits in the Persian Gulf. It's I think somewhere 13 00:00:50,000 --> 00:00:54,120 Speaker 2: between two and two hundred and fifty miles north of 14 00:00:54,160 --> 00:01:00,000 Speaker 2: the strangle for moves. That island controls approximately ninety percent 15 00:01:00,560 --> 00:01:06,240 Speaker 2: of Iran's oil exports. And I think, most importantly you'll understand. 16 00:01:05,920 --> 00:01:06,520 Speaker 3: In a minute. 17 00:01:07,200 --> 00:01:11,360 Speaker 2: You should understand already based on my previous conversations about this, 18 00:01:12,319 --> 00:01:17,759 Speaker 2: it is a major supplier for China's energy needs. So 19 00:01:17,840 --> 00:01:20,480 Speaker 2: controlling the future of Carg Island and the straight of 20 00:01:20,560 --> 00:01:24,480 Speaker 2: horror moves made dramatically shorten the war's duration. 21 00:01:27,040 --> 00:01:27,680 Speaker 3: So last. 22 00:01:27,840 --> 00:01:31,040 Speaker 2: At the end of last week, US Central Command confirmed 23 00:01:31,080 --> 00:01:37,240 Speaker 2: a quote large scale precision strike on Carg Island, according 24 00:01:37,280 --> 00:01:40,280 Speaker 2: to the US Energy Information Administration. About and I've heard 25 00:01:40,280 --> 00:01:44,360 Speaker 2: this number ad infinitum now it's ad nauseum. Actually, about 26 00:01:44,360 --> 00:01:48,000 Speaker 2: twenty percent of the world's total daily oil consumption travels 27 00:01:48,000 --> 00:01:50,560 Speaker 2: through the straight of horror moves something that probably most 28 00:01:50,600 --> 00:01:52,760 Speaker 2: Americans didn't know. And now we've heard it so incessantly, 29 00:01:52,760 --> 00:01:55,680 Speaker 2: everybody should know it by now well. Carg Island what 30 00:01:55,720 --> 00:02:04,720 Speaker 2: they probably don't understand is Iran's primary district hub. SENTCOM 31 00:02:04,840 --> 00:02:10,160 Speaker 2: Central Command said the targets on Carg Island included naval 32 00:02:10,400 --> 00:02:16,680 Speaker 2: mine storage facilities, missile storage bunkers, and other military sites. 33 00:02:17,440 --> 00:02:22,120 Speaker 2: The bulletin from SINCOM said that ninety Iranian military targets 34 00:02:22,120 --> 00:02:26,799 Speaker 2: were hit. But let's see, what's the rule of out butts. 35 00:02:27,360 --> 00:02:30,560 Speaker 2: Pay attention mostly most important to what follows the butt. 36 00:02:32,280 --> 00:02:38,240 Speaker 2: They did not strike, and they preserved Carg Island's oil infrastructure. 37 00:02:39,480 --> 00:02:43,200 Speaker 2: So the strikes were designed to inflict maximum damage to 38 00:02:43,280 --> 00:02:48,160 Speaker 2: the island's military installations and designed to scare the Uranian 39 00:02:48,320 --> 00:02:53,720 Speaker 2: regime backcrab crazy. It's like hitting their leadership where it 40 00:02:53,800 --> 00:02:58,840 Speaker 2: hurts most, right in the pocketbook. Now over on truth Social, 41 00:02:58,880 --> 00:03:02,320 Speaker 2: Trump claimed that US four vers had quote totally obliterated 42 00:03:02,560 --> 00:03:05,720 Speaker 2: every military targeting around Crown Jewel. 43 00:03:05,520 --> 00:03:10,120 Speaker 3: Carg Island. 44 00:03:10,200 --> 00:03:12,519 Speaker 2: Moments ago. At here, let me say part way, so 45 00:03:12,720 --> 00:03:15,360 Speaker 2: I'm going to read the whole thing, Mamas to go up. 46 00:03:15,360 --> 00:03:17,480 Speaker 2: My direction in the US Central Command executed one of 47 00:03:17,520 --> 00:03:19,639 Speaker 2: the most powerful bombing raids in the history of the 48 00:03:19,639 --> 00:03:23,919 Speaker 2: Middle East and totally obliterated every military target in Iran's 49 00:03:23,960 --> 00:03:27,120 Speaker 2: Crown Jewel Carg Island. Our weapons are the most powerful 50 00:03:27,160 --> 00:03:29,640 Speaker 2: and sophisticated the world has ever known. But for reasons 51 00:03:29,639 --> 00:03:32,160 Speaker 2: of decency, I have chosen not to wipe out the 52 00:03:32,200 --> 00:03:34,440 Speaker 2: oil infrastructure on the island. I don't think it has 53 00:03:34,480 --> 00:03:37,520 Speaker 2: anything at all do with decency. It has to do 54 00:03:37,600 --> 00:03:41,720 Speaker 2: with the strategy. You could have blown up the infrastructure 55 00:03:42,400 --> 00:03:47,680 Speaker 2: quite easily. But why why blow up the infrastructure when 56 00:03:47,720 --> 00:03:49,640 Speaker 2: all you want to do is hit the military targets 57 00:03:49,680 --> 00:03:55,720 Speaker 2: so you can control the oil infrastructure. So he emphasized 58 00:03:55,960 --> 00:03:58,720 Speaker 2: that the oil infrastructure. Enough of this truth Social, you 59 00:03:58,760 --> 00:04:01,920 Speaker 2: can go read it yourself. He was emphasizing that the 60 00:04:01,960 --> 00:04:06,680 Speaker 2: oil infrastructure was spared for now, but that it could 61 00:04:06,720 --> 00:04:10,800 Speaker 2: become a legitimate target if the Uranians interfere with shipping 62 00:04:10,800 --> 00:04:14,200 Speaker 2: in the straight of Her moves. Our weapons are the 63 00:04:14,280 --> 00:04:19,040 Speaker 2: most powerful. Blah blah blah. Should Iran or anyone else 64 00:04:19,200 --> 00:04:22,280 Speaker 2: do anything to interfere with the free and safe passage 65 00:04:22,279 --> 00:04:25,760 Speaker 2: of ships through the straight of Her moves, I will 66 00:04:25,800 --> 00:04:30,240 Speaker 2: immediately reconsider this decision. Not that he will do it, 67 00:04:30,760 --> 00:04:34,000 Speaker 2: not that he will blow up the infrastructure, but stop 68 00:04:34,040 --> 00:04:37,800 Speaker 2: and think about what he has shown. He has shown 69 00:04:37,839 --> 00:04:42,120 Speaker 2: that he can hit their pocketbook, their main source of revenue, 70 00:04:42,279 --> 00:04:47,280 Speaker 2: their main quite frankly, their major and for all practical purposes, 71 00:04:47,440 --> 00:04:52,280 Speaker 2: their only point of distribution for virtually all of their revenue, 72 00:04:53,120 --> 00:04:58,520 Speaker 2: and strategically take out the military part, leaving the infrastructure 73 00:04:59,000 --> 00:05:03,599 Speaker 2: in place. Now, according to a fact sheet from last 74 00:05:04,360 --> 00:05:09,279 Speaker 2: month from the International Energy Agency by the Way that 75 00:05:09,400 --> 00:05:12,400 Speaker 2: was established after the oil crisis in nineteen seventy three, 76 00:05:13,680 --> 00:05:17,359 Speaker 2: the Stradahormuse is the primary export route for oil produced 77 00:05:17,360 --> 00:05:22,520 Speaker 2: by Saudi Arabia, the uae KOI cutter Iraq, Bahrain and Iran. 78 00:05:23,360 --> 00:05:26,719 Speaker 2: They went on to predict any prolonged disruption in the 79 00:05:26,720 --> 00:05:30,680 Speaker 2: straight ohrmuse could also render unavailable the vast majority of 80 00:05:30,680 --> 00:05:34,279 Speaker 2: the world's spare production capacity, most of which is held 81 00:05:34,279 --> 00:05:35,240 Speaker 2: by Saudi Arabia. 82 00:05:35,839 --> 00:05:37,320 Speaker 3: The vocal the oil leaving. 83 00:05:37,120 --> 00:05:40,680 Speaker 2: The Strait heads to Asian countries, with China, India and 84 00:05:40,760 --> 00:05:46,960 Speaker 2: Japan being the main importers. Here's the context. Trump has 85 00:05:47,000 --> 00:05:51,520 Speaker 2: apparently understood the strategic significance of kark Island to the 86 00:05:51,560 --> 00:05:57,440 Speaker 2: Iranian regime for decades. There's a nineteen eighty eight interview 87 00:05:57,480 --> 00:06:01,200 Speaker 2: with the British newspaper of the Guardian. Asked broadly in 88 00:06:01,200 --> 00:06:05,159 Speaker 2: that interview about his foreign policy views, Trump, who was 89 00:06:05,279 --> 00:06:08,400 Speaker 2: running his wide ranging business inter at the time. Oh, 90 00:06:08,480 --> 00:06:11,320 Speaker 2: he's always He's been mentioned as a presidential Canada for decades, 91 00:06:11,680 --> 00:06:16,159 Speaker 2: but he was nowhere near politics. Singled out the Iranian 92 00:06:16,200 --> 00:06:19,359 Speaker 2: regime in nineteen eighty eight. Now, nineteen eighty eight just 93 00:06:19,400 --> 00:06:22,520 Speaker 2: happened to coincide with the Iran Iraq War and the 94 00:06:22,560 --> 00:06:24,880 Speaker 2: attacks on the shipping the Persian Gulf, including the straight 95 00:06:24,920 --> 00:06:30,400 Speaker 2: to hor moves. History repeats and history rhymes. When you 96 00:06:30,480 --> 00:06:34,520 Speaker 2: read the nineteen eighty eight interviews, you really get a 97 00:06:34,560 --> 00:06:39,240 Speaker 2: window into the president's current foreign policy thinking, and I 98 00:06:39,240 --> 00:06:43,719 Speaker 2: think he gives us into the strategy. He told the 99 00:06:43,800 --> 00:06:48,920 Speaker 2: journalist Polly Toynbee. She's British. I'd be harsh on Iran. 100 00:06:49,040 --> 00:06:49,839 Speaker 3: He said. 101 00:06:50,200 --> 00:06:54,039 Speaker 2: They've been beating us psychologically, making us look a bunch 102 00:06:54,040 --> 00:06:57,520 Speaker 2: of fools. One bullet shot at one of our men 103 00:06:57,600 --> 00:07:00,000 Speaker 2: or ships, and I do a number on carg Island. 104 00:07:00,600 --> 00:07:03,440 Speaker 2: I go in and take it. Iran can't even beat 105 00:07:03,480 --> 00:07:06,760 Speaker 2: a rock. Yet they pushed the United States around. It'd 106 00:07:06,760 --> 00:07:12,160 Speaker 2: be good for the world to take them on. He's 107 00:07:12,200 --> 00:07:15,280 Speaker 2: exactly right now. You heard in the top of the 108 00:07:15,280 --> 00:07:18,480 Speaker 2: hour news that Scott Bessanda has been asked whether or 109 00:07:18,480 --> 00:07:21,000 Speaker 2: not the president's going through postpone his trip to China. 110 00:07:21,320 --> 00:07:24,000 Speaker 2: He may or may not. I really don't care. I 111 00:07:24,040 --> 00:07:27,160 Speaker 2: think either. I think there's strategic reasons to go. There's 112 00:07:27,640 --> 00:07:33,120 Speaker 2: strategic reasons not to go. But either way, Gijing Ping 113 00:07:33,320 --> 00:07:41,680 Speaker 2: knows that Trump right now has his. 114 00:07:39,560 --> 00:07:42,000 Speaker 3: His little hands that everybody likes to make fun of. 115 00:07:42,360 --> 00:07:47,080 Speaker 2: He's got his little hands around Gijen Ping's neck now. 116 00:07:47,080 --> 00:07:50,520 Speaker 2: Of course, it's also around the neck of the Saudi's, 117 00:07:51,160 --> 00:07:56,920 Speaker 2: the Kuwaitis, the Qataris, Bahrain all of them, and Japan 118 00:07:58,600 --> 00:08:02,600 Speaker 2: all of them because they depend on that island and 119 00:08:02,640 --> 00:08:05,320 Speaker 2: they depend on those shipping routes through the straight of 120 00:08:05,360 --> 00:08:08,200 Speaker 2: hor moves and that. 121 00:08:10,320 --> 00:08:10,960 Speaker 3: Let me back up. 122 00:08:11,040 --> 00:08:14,679 Speaker 2: Analysts estimate that carg Island delivers almost eighty billion dollars 123 00:08:14,720 --> 00:08:17,360 Speaker 2: in energy revenue a year for a round because it 124 00:08:17,480 --> 00:08:21,000 Speaker 2: is a deep water port that can accommodate those tankers 125 00:08:21,000 --> 00:08:23,960 Speaker 2: that you see on the news all the time. The 126 00:08:23,960 --> 00:08:28,760 Speaker 2: oil revenue is what supports the Iranian regime, and it's 127 00:08:28,800 --> 00:08:33,439 Speaker 2: also what supports Iran's revolutionary Guard, and that's who maintains 128 00:08:33,480 --> 00:08:37,680 Speaker 2: the regime's power structure. So any disruption or damage to 129 00:08:37,720 --> 00:08:41,680 Speaker 2: carg Island would be like an earthquake in the energy markets. 130 00:08:42,040 --> 00:08:45,880 Speaker 2: Although when I looked up earlier WTI was trading at 131 00:08:45,960 --> 00:08:47,800 Speaker 2: ninety four dollars a bell, it had gone up to 132 00:08:47,840 --> 00:08:49,760 Speaker 2: one hundred and five or so on's back down to 133 00:08:49,840 --> 00:09:01,240 Speaker 2: ninety five. Any disruption, earthquake energy market, Yeah, I had 134 00:09:01,320 --> 00:09:05,680 Speaker 2: to say. Internationally, that's true, but it is especially true 135 00:09:06,120 --> 00:09:11,719 Speaker 2: for China. Analysts believe that China remains the most prolific, 136 00:09:11,800 --> 00:09:16,160 Speaker 2: the main the primary purchaser for irams crude oil, and 137 00:09:16,200 --> 00:09:20,600 Speaker 2: therefore Beijing plays a major role financing the Iranian regime, 138 00:09:21,120 --> 00:09:25,200 Speaker 2: which has continued to pursue the nuclear weapons, and China 139 00:09:25,200 --> 00:09:28,000 Speaker 2: has not been deterred at all by our sanctions on Oan. 140 00:09:29,120 --> 00:09:31,400 Speaker 2: And this brings us to the next and I think 141 00:09:31,640 --> 00:09:37,800 Speaker 2: the most interesting data point now entering third week, there 142 00:09:37,880 --> 00:09:41,120 Speaker 2: is no doubt the deployment of two thousand and five thousand, 143 00:09:41,160 --> 00:09:43,520 Speaker 2: if he different numbers of US marines to the Gulf 144 00:09:43,559 --> 00:09:48,360 Speaker 2: region opens a new chapter in Operation Epic Fury. But 145 00:09:48,440 --> 00:09:52,319 Speaker 2: I was struck by which unit the Department of Wars 146 00:09:52,320 --> 00:09:57,440 Speaker 2: selected for deployment. It is the thirty first Marine Expeditionary 147 00:09:57,520 --> 00:10:03,840 Speaker 2: Unit that comes out of Okana in Japan, together with 148 00:10:04,080 --> 00:10:07,720 Speaker 2: USS Tripoli and USS New Orleans. The thirty first Marine 149 00:10:07,760 --> 00:10:15,880 Speaker 2: Expeditionary Battle Group has amazing, if not extraordinary capabilities, thirty 150 00:10:15,880 --> 00:10:21,120 Speaker 2: five fighter jets, Vipra attack helicopters, search and rescue helicopters, 151 00:10:21,440 --> 00:10:26,679 Speaker 2: Stallion transport alicopters. Military experts will tell you that this 152 00:10:26,840 --> 00:10:32,720 Speaker 2: Expeditionary battle Group can launch ship to shore operations and 153 00:10:32,800 --> 00:10:36,720 Speaker 2: they can do so without relying on any outside support 154 00:10:37,200 --> 00:10:42,320 Speaker 2: to accomplish their mission. So what does that mean? They 155 00:10:42,360 --> 00:10:46,080 Speaker 2: have the ability to deploy to the Uranium islands in 156 00:10:46,120 --> 00:10:52,720 Speaker 2: the Straits and therefore frustrate Ron's efforts to disrupt commercial shipping. Now, 157 00:10:52,960 --> 00:10:55,720 Speaker 2: the Estimus I see is it will take anywhere from 158 00:10:55,760 --> 00:10:57,800 Speaker 2: ten to fifteen days for the Marines to reach the 159 00:10:57,800 --> 00:11:05,840 Speaker 2: straight or moves. I've seen these awesome marine expeditionary capabilities. 160 00:11:07,480 --> 00:11:10,560 Speaker 2: You ought to see what they do when they're in operation. 161 00:11:11,920 --> 00:11:16,480 Speaker 2: It's simply amazing. You have to ask if the threat 162 00:11:16,520 --> 00:11:22,800 Speaker 2: to choke Iron's oil supply to China has diminished, if 163 00:11:22,840 --> 00:11:25,920 Speaker 2: not taken off the table for the time being, the 164 00:11:26,040 --> 00:11:30,040 Speaker 2: likelihood that President Eigen King will move on Taiwan if 165 00:11:30,080 --> 00:11:33,079 Speaker 2: President She took aggressive action against Taiwan anywhere in the 166 00:11:33,120 --> 00:11:37,880 Speaker 2: near future, the United States would want the thirty first 167 00:11:37,920 --> 00:11:44,280 Speaker 2: Marine expedition Expeditionary Unit in Japan and available, not engaged 168 00:11:44,320 --> 00:11:48,360 Speaker 2: over in the Gulf two or three weeks away. So 169 00:11:48,440 --> 00:11:51,120 Speaker 2: controlling the future of carg Island and the straight of 170 00:11:51,120 --> 00:11:56,120 Speaker 2: her moves made dramatically and I think actually shorten the 171 00:11:56,120 --> 00:12:01,839 Speaker 2: war's duration. A credible threat to Iran's oil supply of 172 00:12:01,960 --> 00:12:05,120 Speaker 2: China has second and third order consequences that I think 173 00:12:05,160 --> 00:12:13,880 Speaker 2: favored the United States US dominance in space. Try to 174 00:12:13,880 --> 00:12:16,679 Speaker 2: go in space. Let me back it for just one second. 175 00:12:17,600 --> 00:12:22,319 Speaker 2: You bomb the military facilities, you take those out, then 176 00:12:22,360 --> 00:12:25,240 Speaker 2: you take control of the infrastry you leave the infrastructure intact, 177 00:12:26,200 --> 00:12:28,360 Speaker 2: but in the next two or three weeks, however long 178 00:12:28,400 --> 00:12:31,360 Speaker 2: it takes, you take control of that island. Now, remember 179 00:12:31,600 --> 00:12:35,280 Speaker 2: the bombing on the mainland. The bombing in country continues, 180 00:12:36,120 --> 00:12:38,200 Speaker 2: and I got some stats about how that has just 181 00:12:38,360 --> 00:12:44,120 Speaker 2: dramatically reduced their capabilities to mount any sort of counter attack. 182 00:12:44,320 --> 00:12:47,400 Speaker 2: I know the drones are still flying. In fact, I 183 00:12:47,440 --> 00:12:50,280 Speaker 2: think it was sixty minutes last night that had I 184 00:12:50,320 --> 00:12:52,199 Speaker 2: would say a fairly objective story. 185 00:12:52,200 --> 00:12:56,120 Speaker 3: It was typical to sixty minutes. It wasn't entirely objective. 186 00:12:56,040 --> 00:13:01,160 Speaker 2: About the capabilities that we currently have and are currently 187 00:13:01,320 --> 00:13:05,760 Speaker 2: using to fight the cartels on the southern border using 188 00:13:06,679 --> 00:13:11,720 Speaker 2: anti drone lasers manufactured right down in Albuquerque, let alone, 189 00:13:11,800 --> 00:13:16,160 Speaker 2: manufactured by some of the big defense contractors. So we 190 00:13:16,280 --> 00:13:20,560 Speaker 2: have the ability to deploy those assets to take care 191 00:13:20,720 --> 00:13:25,160 Speaker 2: of the drones. So rather than shooting some sort of 192 00:13:25,160 --> 00:13:27,840 Speaker 2: ballistic missile that you know, our tomahawk that might cost 193 00:13:27,960 --> 00:13:29,960 Speaker 2: I don't know what, what do it costs four million, 194 00:13:30,000 --> 00:13:32,440 Speaker 2: five million, ten million dollars to hit a twenty thousand 195 00:13:32,440 --> 00:13:36,920 Speaker 2: dollars drone. No, now it literally becomes pennies to the 196 00:13:37,000 --> 00:13:40,839 Speaker 2: dollar to take down a drone so I think that 197 00:13:40,960 --> 00:13:43,640 Speaker 2: what we're doing is we're continuing to bomb the crap 198 00:13:43,640 --> 00:13:46,200 Speaker 2: out of them to continue to prevent them, and we 199 00:13:46,240 --> 00:13:51,679 Speaker 2: control the skies and the amount of armaments missiles they're 200 00:13:51,760 --> 00:13:57,040 Speaker 2: firing is dropping dramatically, dramatically, dramatically. We're going to continue 201 00:13:57,080 --> 00:14:01,679 Speaker 2: that while the Expeditionary Force moves over into the Strait 202 00:14:01,679 --> 00:14:05,600 Speaker 2: of Her, moves moves over to carg Island, and it 203 00:14:05,640 --> 00:14:09,160 Speaker 2: could be that eventually, once you've destroyed all of the 204 00:14:09,200 --> 00:14:15,480 Speaker 2: military infrastructure, the Marine Expeditionary Force can take over the island. Now, 205 00:14:15,520 --> 00:14:20,000 Speaker 2: I know, technically that's boots on the ground, but technically 206 00:14:20,040 --> 00:14:24,200 Speaker 2: also those are boots on an island separate and apart 207 00:14:24,320 --> 00:14:27,480 Speaker 2: from and you can keep the Iranian Army and the 208 00:14:27,520 --> 00:14:32,160 Speaker 2: IRCG from getting onto that island. So the Marines are 209 00:14:32,200 --> 00:14:38,200 Speaker 2: going to be relatively safe. And now you control the pocketbook. 210 00:14:39,280 --> 00:14:42,680 Speaker 2: You absolutely control the pocketbook. Listening to one of my 211 00:14:42,720 --> 00:14:45,520 Speaker 2: international podcasts over the weekend, I heard some of these 212 00:14:45,600 --> 00:14:47,960 Speaker 2: muety MUCKs and some of these think tanks talking about, 213 00:14:48,160 --> 00:14:50,160 Speaker 2: oh my gosh, it's just chaos in the world order 214 00:14:50,240 --> 00:14:52,560 Speaker 2: right now, it's just utter chaos. Yeah, it probably does 215 00:14:52,640 --> 00:14:57,760 Speaker 2: seem like chaos. You know what's really going on. It 216 00:14:57,840 --> 00:15:05,320 Speaker 2: truly is an America first strategy. Let's take China and 217 00:15:05,440 --> 00:15:09,160 Speaker 2: rather than having to confront them in the Strait of Taiwan, 218 00:15:10,080 --> 00:15:12,000 Speaker 2: or rather than having to come to the defense of 219 00:15:12,080 --> 00:15:15,120 Speaker 2: Japan when Japan has to come to the defense of Taiwan, 220 00:15:15,440 --> 00:15:18,000 Speaker 2: because Jiji Ping decides that, oh, this would be a 221 00:15:18,000 --> 00:15:19,120 Speaker 2: good time to invade. 222 00:15:20,040 --> 00:15:23,360 Speaker 3: He can't do it. He can't do it right now. 223 00:15:23,760 --> 00:15:26,000 Speaker 2: He probably could, but I don't think he has enough 224 00:15:26,320 --> 00:15:30,720 Speaker 2: reserves in supply to maintain the People's Liberation Army in 225 00:15:30,880 --> 00:15:34,720 Speaker 2: an invasion of Taiwan. So he's already being tied down. 226 00:15:36,080 --> 00:15:38,680 Speaker 2: Now we get the expeditionary force over into the straight 227 00:15:38,720 --> 00:15:41,480 Speaker 2: hohorror moves. I know it's all counterintuity. You get those, 228 00:15:41,640 --> 00:15:44,560 Speaker 2: You get that expeditionary force over into the straight horror moves, 229 00:15:45,000 --> 00:15:46,480 Speaker 2: you take over carg Island. 230 00:15:46,880 --> 00:15:50,720 Speaker 3: Now you've completely choked off anything. 231 00:15:52,040 --> 00:15:56,160 Speaker 2: Now the Iranian the Chinese will have to pay what 232 00:15:56,520 --> 00:16:00,200 Speaker 2: we allow to leave in order to support them, and 233 00:16:00,240 --> 00:16:02,560 Speaker 2: we can make certain that we give them just enough 234 00:16:02,760 --> 00:16:06,040 Speaker 2: to keep their economy afloat. We want theomy. We don't 235 00:16:06,040 --> 00:16:08,680 Speaker 2: want to completely destroy the Chinese economy. We want it 236 00:16:08,720 --> 00:16:12,000 Speaker 2: to continue, but we don't want it to be strong 237 00:16:12,120 --> 00:16:14,840 Speaker 2: enough to shoot ahead of us in terms of GDP, 238 00:16:15,360 --> 00:16:18,760 Speaker 2: which helps them fund their people's liberation army even more 239 00:16:18,920 --> 00:16:20,760 Speaker 2: and makes them even more of a threat to Taiwan 240 00:16:21,200 --> 00:16:25,560 Speaker 2: that preserves the peace in the Indo Pacific. I find 241 00:16:25,560 --> 00:16:29,480 Speaker 2: it fascinating. This is something that Trump has obviously thought 242 00:16:29,520 --> 00:16:30,880 Speaker 2: about since nineteen eighty eight. 243 00:16:32,560 --> 00:16:34,000 Speaker 3: Now, let's go to space from them. 244 00:16:35,760 --> 00:16:39,120 Speaker 2: Our dominance in space is actually also giving us a 245 00:16:39,160 --> 00:16:44,960 Speaker 2: war an edge. In Operation Epic Fury, the head of 246 00:16:45,040 --> 00:16:47,920 Speaker 2: NASSA believes that the United States might actually land astronauts 247 00:16:47,920 --> 00:16:56,000 Speaker 2: from Mars in the next decade. Okay, well whatever, if 248 00:16:56,000 --> 00:16:59,240 Speaker 2: we're able to do those kinds of things, and all 249 00:16:59,280 --> 00:17:02,080 Speaker 2: of that is moving along simultaneously at the same time 250 00:17:02,120 --> 00:17:04,959 Speaker 2: that we're fighting this war. Why are we getting mired 251 00:17:05,000 --> 00:17:08,560 Speaker 2: down so badly in the idea that oh my gosh, 252 00:17:08,600 --> 00:17:10,879 Speaker 2: there're gonna be boots on the ground, meaning we're going 253 00:17:10,960 --> 00:17:13,360 Speaker 2: to be in one of these so called forever wars, 254 00:17:14,320 --> 00:17:18,119 Speaker 2: or that we're gonna get bogged down in another Vietnam. No, 255 00:17:18,280 --> 00:17:21,719 Speaker 2: I don't think any of that's going on. And I 256 00:17:21,760 --> 00:17:25,480 Speaker 2: think what we need to understand is we are not 257 00:17:26,280 --> 00:17:32,600 Speaker 2: losing to the Iranians. Don't be ridiculous. Some of the 258 00:17:32,640 --> 00:17:36,480 Speaker 2: headlines that I want to break through New York Times 259 00:17:36,880 --> 00:17:40,679 Speaker 2: fears about global economic fallout? Why little was done to 260 00:17:40,720 --> 00:17:44,880 Speaker 2: head off Oil's straight off her moves problem. Trump urged uprising, 261 00:17:44,920 --> 00:17:47,520 Speaker 2: but as bombs fall, Iranians are too scared to move. 262 00:17:47,720 --> 00:17:52,000 Speaker 2: That's the Washington Post. Also Walpole, unpopular war makes friendship 263 00:17:52,000 --> 00:17:55,120 Speaker 2: with Trump a liability for European leaders. Does anybody care 264 00:17:56,440 --> 00:17:58,520 Speaker 2: Trump may be unable to end the war he started 265 00:17:58,600 --> 00:18:01,040 Speaker 2: with Iran even though he wanted to. According to CNN, 266 00:18:02,200 --> 00:18:04,600 Speaker 2: I can go on and on and on, but I 267 00:18:04,600 --> 00:18:08,879 Speaker 2: think you get the picture. We attacked Iran. We're a 268 00:18:08,920 --> 00:18:11,720 Speaker 2: leenady in Europe. We didn't plan for them to try 269 00:18:11,800 --> 00:18:13,960 Speaker 2: to try to impede traffic and straight to hor moons. 270 00:18:14,560 --> 00:18:16,000 Speaker 2: Iranians are dying in the bombing. 271 00:18:16,520 --> 00:18:18,120 Speaker 3: We're losing. There is no endgame. 272 00:18:19,440 --> 00:18:22,119 Speaker 2: That's the thrust of news reporting in the American and 273 00:18:22,200 --> 00:18:23,680 Speaker 2: European press. 274 00:18:24,320 --> 00:18:26,560 Speaker 3: HM. But is it. 275 00:18:26,480 --> 00:18:30,720 Speaker 2: True, Michael, nobody is jealous of your iHeart swag. 276 00:18:31,200 --> 00:18:33,919 Speaker 4: Do you think I need a wind breaker, buddy? 277 00:18:34,040 --> 00:18:35,840 Speaker 2: I am a wind breaker. 278 00:18:39,920 --> 00:18:41,159 Speaker 3: Oh, trust me. 279 00:18:41,320 --> 00:18:44,920 Speaker 2: I don't think anybody is jealous in fact, ask me 280 00:18:44,960 --> 00:18:51,080 Speaker 2: if I can go find my iHeart swag. Now, Dragon 281 00:18:51,080 --> 00:18:52,960 Speaker 2: probably can because is where he wears his T shirts 282 00:18:52,960 --> 00:18:57,040 Speaker 2: all the time. But I'm talking about specifically iheartswag. 283 00:18:58,040 --> 00:18:59,639 Speaker 3: Any at all. I think I made it. 284 00:19:00,040 --> 00:19:02,919 Speaker 5: I know my kids split up the ninety three to 285 00:19:02,920 --> 00:19:05,399 Speaker 5: three jacket when I used for work for promotions. It 286 00:19:05,480 --> 00:19:07,480 Speaker 5: was one of those ones I had interior linering and 287 00:19:07,520 --> 00:19:09,720 Speaker 5: extra and I gave one to one and one to 288 00:19:09,760 --> 00:19:12,159 Speaker 5: the other. They absolutely love it because they love that station. 289 00:19:12,359 --> 00:19:17,240 Speaker 5: But anything other than that, I don't know. I may 290 00:19:17,240 --> 00:19:23,959 Speaker 5: have a Fox jacket maybe, yeah, yes, that's cool logo. Yeah, okay, 291 00:19:24,320 --> 00:19:30,959 Speaker 5: all right, here's the head Let's listen to these headlines again. Now, 292 00:19:30,960 --> 00:19:34,359 Speaker 5: I want you to think about someone in the text 293 00:19:34,400 --> 00:19:40,200 Speaker 5: line or someone listening that has Trump derangement syndrome that 294 00:19:40,280 --> 00:19:47,040 Speaker 5: no matter what, Trump can't do anything right and they 295 00:19:47,200 --> 00:19:51,080 Speaker 5: cannot see the big picture. They cannot see the strategic 296 00:19:51,200 --> 00:19:54,960 Speaker 5: moves because they're blinded by the same things that bother 297 00:19:55,000 --> 00:19:57,800 Speaker 5: a lot of us. The way he dresses, the whole story, 298 00:19:57,800 --> 00:20:01,040 Speaker 5: about the shoes, the long tie, the language. 299 00:20:01,040 --> 00:20:01,199 Speaker 3: You know. 300 00:20:01,240 --> 00:20:05,280 Speaker 2: The best I saw the best Ai video. 301 00:20:05,400 --> 00:20:07,160 Speaker 3: It wasn't Ai. It was a. 302 00:20:07,160 --> 00:20:13,800 Speaker 2: Comedian and This bit was not what if Trump was Jesus, 303 00:20:14,400 --> 00:20:19,199 Speaker 2: but what if Jesus was like Trump? And it was 304 00:20:19,320 --> 00:20:22,840 Speaker 2: along the lines of, well, I can feed this crowd. 305 00:20:23,200 --> 00:20:26,280 Speaker 2: I got the best fish I got. I can feed 306 00:20:26,280 --> 00:20:27,720 Speaker 2: this wokun. I got the best bread. I can feed 307 00:20:27,760 --> 00:20:29,840 Speaker 2: this whole crowd. Watch me on feed I got the 308 00:20:29,840 --> 00:20:34,200 Speaker 2: best fish. It was hilarious, freaking hilarious. It's that all 309 00:20:34,240 --> 00:20:37,679 Speaker 2: that hyperbole, and I get that it rubs people the 310 00:20:37,720 --> 00:20:42,800 Speaker 2: wrong way. You're allowing all the superficial stuff to prevent 311 00:20:42,920 --> 00:20:47,800 Speaker 2: you from critically thinking about the strategic stuff. You truly 312 00:20:47,840 --> 00:20:51,359 Speaker 2: have tds. Listen to the headlines and then think about 313 00:20:51,359 --> 00:20:52,480 Speaker 2: a person like that. 314 00:20:52,560 --> 00:20:54,360 Speaker 3: Fears about global economic fallout. 315 00:20:54,640 --> 00:20:57,040 Speaker 2: Why little was done to head off oil's straight to 316 00:20:57,119 --> 00:21:01,600 Speaker 2: hormones problem. Trump urged uprising, but the bombs fall. Iranians 317 00:21:01,640 --> 00:21:05,119 Speaker 2: are too scared to move. Unpopular war makes friendship with 318 00:21:05,160 --> 00:21:07,480 Speaker 2: Trump with liability for European leaders. 319 00:21:07,960 --> 00:21:10,679 Speaker 3: Trump may be unable to end the war he started 320 00:21:10,720 --> 00:21:14,159 Speaker 3: with the rug even if he wanted to it. 321 00:21:14,600 --> 00:21:24,160 Speaker 2: It's relentless, constant, and relentless. We attacked Iran really well, 322 00:21:24,240 --> 00:21:24,639 Speaker 2: look at that. 323 00:21:24,680 --> 00:21:25,119 Speaker 3: In a minute. 324 00:21:25,640 --> 00:21:29,959 Speaker 2: We're alienating Europe, to which I'd say Okay, so what 325 00:21:31,760 --> 00:21:34,040 Speaker 2: we didn't plan for them trying to impede traffic in 326 00:21:34,080 --> 00:21:36,600 Speaker 2: the straight of horor moves. Really, do you understand anything 327 00:21:36,600 --> 00:21:39,400 Speaker 2: about military planning? Have you ever seen any military It's 328 00:21:39,480 --> 00:21:42,480 Speaker 2: always been about how do we fruit how do we 329 00:21:42,560 --> 00:21:45,879 Speaker 2: keep opening the straight hor moves? Iranians are dying in 330 00:21:45,920 --> 00:21:51,720 Speaker 2: the bombing, We're losing. There is no endgame. When you 331 00:21:51,800 --> 00:21:54,240 Speaker 2: look at a graph, for example, if Iranian missile launches 332 00:21:54,280 --> 00:21:56,840 Speaker 2: at the UAE over the over the course of the conflict, 333 00:21:57,520 --> 00:21:59,880 Speaker 2: and why we look at the UAE because they're the close. 334 00:22:02,280 --> 00:22:07,280 Speaker 2: On February twenty eight, there were, let's see, if I 335 00:22:07,320 --> 00:22:09,159 Speaker 2: can read this without blowing it up, one hundred and 336 00:22:09,160 --> 00:22:14,359 Speaker 2: thirty seven ballistic missiles, two hundred and eight UH drones 337 00:22:16,160 --> 00:22:19,119 Speaker 2: there were. On March one, there was two cruise missiles, 338 00:22:19,520 --> 00:22:25,239 Speaker 2: three hundred and thirty two drones, nine ballistic missiles. So 339 00:22:25,440 --> 00:22:29,359 Speaker 2: from February twenty eight to March two we went from 340 00:22:29,400 --> 00:22:33,640 Speaker 2: one hundred and thirty seven ballistic missiles down to nine. 341 00:22:33,960 --> 00:22:38,080 Speaker 2: Now cruise missiles increased from two to six, but drones 342 00:22:38,160 --> 00:22:40,120 Speaker 2: dropped from three thirty two to one forty eight. 343 00:22:41,280 --> 00:22:41,800 Speaker 3: And they just. 344 00:22:41,800 --> 00:22:47,160 Speaker 2: Continued to drop, drop, drop, drop, March fifteen, yesterday last day, 345 00:22:47,200 --> 00:22:52,600 Speaker 2: I could find figures there were four ballistic missiles, zero 346 00:22:52,800 --> 00:22:57,000 Speaker 2: cruise missiles, and six drones fired at UAE. 347 00:22:58,680 --> 00:23:00,520 Speaker 3: And then when you look at the coalitions. 348 00:23:00,040 --> 00:23:05,399 Speaker 2: Strikes on Iran's retaliatory capabilities, you will basically see that 349 00:23:05,440 --> 00:23:09,560 Speaker 2: the images tell you that, well, Iran is the increasing 350 00:23:09,640 --> 00:23:13,639 Speaker 2: or sustaining its defenses or offenses. No, that Iran supply 351 00:23:13,720 --> 00:23:16,520 Speaker 2: of missiles and drugs is holding steady or diminishing, diminishing, 352 00:23:16,880 --> 00:23:19,719 Speaker 2: that Iran is winning. No, only in the fantasy world 353 00:23:20,160 --> 00:23:24,400 Speaker 2: of Western journalists and the shields for the Iranians does 354 00:23:24,400 --> 00:23:25,960 Speaker 2: anybody believe that any of that's true. 355 00:23:26,000 --> 00:23:26,880 Speaker 3: It's not true. 356 00:23:27,040 --> 00:23:33,119 Speaker 2: The Iran strategy is clear outlasts, inflict costs, leverage your 357 00:23:33,119 --> 00:23:36,679 Speaker 2: weak neighbors, leverage America's almost useless allies. 358 00:23:37,840 --> 00:23:39,760 Speaker 3: How's that working out for them? Not very well? 359 00:23:39,800 --> 00:23:43,520 Speaker 2: I would propose. Will we be able to reopen the strait? Well, 360 00:23:43,560 --> 00:23:46,280 Speaker 2: that depends on whether shippers are willing to risk any damage. 361 00:23:46,480 --> 00:23:48,960 Speaker 2: The United States will be able to limit most Iranian 362 00:23:49,000 --> 00:23:52,560 Speaker 2: aggression against commercial shipping in short order, but it's not 363 00:23:52,560 --> 00:23:54,520 Speaker 2: going to be able to reduce those risks to zero. 364 00:23:55,840 --> 00:23:57,680 Speaker 3: It never was zero. 365 00:23:59,160 --> 00:24:02,920 Speaker 2: In Similarly, both this country and Israel will be able 366 00:24:02,960 --> 00:24:07,160 Speaker 2: to continue to attret Iranian offensive capabilities, but not reduce 367 00:24:07,240 --> 00:24:11,320 Speaker 2: them to zero. Now I can see a future where 368 00:24:11,359 --> 00:24:15,080 Speaker 2: perhaps it is down to zero in terms of ballistic 369 00:24:15,119 --> 00:24:17,119 Speaker 2: and cruise missiles, but drones probably not. 370 00:24:18,320 --> 00:24:21,560 Speaker 3: There are probably hundreds of thousands of drones, which is. 371 00:24:21,560 --> 00:24:25,040 Speaker 2: Why we're doing what we can to stop attacking them 372 00:24:25,080 --> 00:24:28,240 Speaker 2: with our tomahawks and let's start using something really cheap 373 00:24:28,280 --> 00:24:29,800 Speaker 2: like lasers. 374 00:24:32,640 --> 00:24:36,920 Speaker 3: None of this means that Iran is winning heel. 375 00:24:36,960 --> 00:24:39,119 Speaker 2: There was a time when we didn't have interceptors or 376 00:24:39,119 --> 00:24:42,560 Speaker 2: missile defenses of any kind. And guess what missiles landed. 377 00:24:43,040 --> 00:24:46,280 Speaker 2: They hit targets in its civilians. That is not the 378 00:24:46,320 --> 00:24:49,639 Speaker 2: definition of victory for Iran. It is merely an additional 379 00:24:49,640 --> 00:24:52,560 Speaker 2: reason that we should ensure that they cannot attempt to 380 00:24:52,640 --> 00:24:57,639 Speaker 2: take that hostage ever again. And when I hear that 381 00:24:57,880 --> 00:25:03,439 Speaker 2: we attacked Iran, yeah, well we did. But have you 382 00:25:03,440 --> 00:25:10,119 Speaker 2: ever thought about why who attacked first? I made a list, 383 00:25:10,600 --> 00:25:15,520 Speaker 2: you ready, let's go through the list. Between November seventy 384 00:25:15,600 --> 00:25:19,159 Speaker 2: nine and January of eighty one, Yes, they seized the 385 00:25:19,200 --> 00:25:22,880 Speaker 2: embassy in Tehran, fifty two Americans held hostage for four 386 00:25:22,920 --> 00:25:23,320 Speaker 2: hundred and. 387 00:25:23,280 --> 00:25:24,240 Speaker 3: Forty four days. 388 00:25:24,520 --> 00:25:28,040 Speaker 2: And let's not gloss over that one without stopping and 389 00:25:28,119 --> 00:25:33,560 Speaker 2: thinking about what they did to Bill Buckley. They tortured. 390 00:25:34,320 --> 00:25:37,880 Speaker 2: They literally treated him like silence of the Lambs. Skinned 391 00:25:37,880 --> 00:25:42,119 Speaker 2: this literally skinned him alive, tortured him, sent the photos 392 00:25:42,240 --> 00:25:46,240 Speaker 2: Ronald Reagan after break and took office.

So, yeah, we attacked Iran, 460 00:30:50,640 --> 00:30:53,280 Speaker 2: but I say it's pretty safe to say they started it, 461 00:30:53,560 --> 00:30:55,960 Speaker 2: they kept it up, and that all in all, our 462 00:30:56,000 --> 00:30:59,960 Speaker 2: government was much too tolerant of constant attacks on Americans. 463 00:31:03,080 --> 00:31:06,160 Speaker 2: Saw a great meme over the weekend. So President is 464 00:31:06,200 --> 00:31:12,480 Speaker 2: going all the way back Carter Reagan. Everybody, we gotta 465 00:31:12,480 --> 00:31:14,200 Speaker 2: do something about I wrong. Gotta do something about it wrong, 466 00:31:14,240 --> 00:31:16,480 Speaker 2: Gotta do something better. Wrong, got it? Don't you know? 467 00:31:17,160 --> 00:31:20,400 Speaker 2: Don't don't don't stop, stop stop. We gotta do something. 468 00:31:20,400 --> 00:31:23,600 Speaker 2: We gotta do something, every one of them. Finally get 469 00:31:23,600 --> 00:31:31,280 Speaker 2: to Donald Trump. Okay, does something. Finally did something. But 470 00:31:31,440 --> 00:31:38,920 Speaker 2: what about the fact that ostensibly we are alienating Europe seriously. 471 00:31:39,840 --> 00:31:43,960 Speaker 2: Spain's prime minister called the war illegal. Ireland announced the war. 472 00:31:45,160 --> 00:31:48,200 Speaker 2: Francis McCrone says the war is outside the framework of 473 00:31:48,240 --> 00:31:54,800 Speaker 2: international law. British Prime Minister Starmar initially refused giving US 474 00:31:55,040 --> 00:31:58,640 Speaker 2: access to our own aircraft that are sitting on a 475 00:31:58,760 --> 00:32:02,400 Speaker 2: uk basis. So what we ought to do is review 476 00:32:02,440 --> 00:32:06,960 Speaker 2: the bidding. What did you do to save you Ukraine 477 00:32:07,320 --> 00:32:12,280 Speaker 2: from Russia? They built a pipeline to circumvent Ukraine. What 478 00:32:12,320 --> 00:32:15,120 Speaker 2: did they do when Russia violate the Meska courts? 479 00:32:15,160 --> 00:32:15,480 Speaker 3: Nothing? 480 00:32:16,000 --> 00:32:18,960 Speaker 2: What did they do when Russia again invaded Ukraine? Waited 481 00:32:19,000 --> 00:32:21,760 Speaker 2: for America to come to the rescue. Of course, the 482 00:32:21,760 --> 00:32:23,800 Speaker 2: same was true in the Balkans. He was true in 483 00:32:23,840 --> 00:32:28,560 Speaker 2: World War Two, same in World War One. The Europeans 484 00:32:28,760 --> 00:32:32,920 Speaker 2: are a bunch of feckless always depending upon the United 485 00:32:33,000 --> 00:32:36,320 Speaker 2: States to come to their rescue. Well, they go off 486 00:32:36,320 --> 00:32:39,640 Speaker 2: and dilly dather around with all the congregants in the 487 00:32:39,720 --> 00:32:43,080 Speaker 2: Church of the climate activists, destroying their own military to 488 00:32:43,120 --> 00:32:46,200 Speaker 2: create a gigantic social welfare system. And then when push 489 00:32:46,200 --> 00:32:49,840 Speaker 2: comes to shove and Putin invades, what does Biden say, 490 00:32:49,920 --> 00:32:55,280 Speaker 2: don't don't and then expect the Americans to stop what 491 00:32:55,440 --> 00:32:59,960 Speaker 2: is indeed a full fledged invasion, not just to try 492 00:32:59,960 --> 00:33:03,680 Speaker 2: to throw over overthrow a regime, but to literally take 493 00:33:03,720 --> 00:33:06,680 Speaker 2: over an entire country and install a puppet president that 494 00:33:06,760 --> 00:33:11,560 Speaker 2: will do the bidding of Putin. And NATO turns to us, 495 00:33:12,960 --> 00:33:16,800 Speaker 2: we're alienating Europe Europe fighte me
