1
00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:08,719
Speaker 1: Okay, this is from Michael on messenger, and this is

2
00:00:08,760 --> 00:00:12,240
Speaker 1: what Michael writes to me. Give us some proof and

3
00:00:12,360 --> 00:00:19,080
Speaker 1: evidence that Rubio lied to us. You should be on

4
00:00:19,120 --> 00:00:27,760
Speaker 1: the view. Okay, No, what I want is not evidence,

5
00:00:27,960 --> 00:00:31,120
Speaker 1: or well, let me flip it. Show me the proof.

6
00:00:31,160 --> 00:00:34,440
Speaker 1: And because remember we're the ones now bombing your on

7
00:00:36,240 --> 00:00:39,720
Speaker 1: were the ones now that have we're at war. We

8
00:00:39,720 --> 00:00:42,680
Speaker 1: were not at war on Friday. We're at war now

9
00:00:42,840 --> 00:00:47,280
Speaker 1: starting over the weekend and today. So my question is,

10
00:00:47,640 --> 00:00:50,599
Speaker 1: show me the evidence, show the American people the evidence

11
00:00:51,680 --> 00:00:54,880
Speaker 1: that the Iranians, as Steve Whitkoff is now claiming, and

12
00:00:54,960 --> 00:01:02,880
Speaker 1: Rubio regurgitated that yesterday that the Mullahs were one week

13
00:01:02,960 --> 00:01:06,640
Speaker 1: to ten days away from not one, not two, but

14
00:01:06,920 --> 00:01:13,320
Speaker 1: eleven nuclear bombs, eleven nuclear bombs in one week, that

15
00:01:13,400 --> 00:01:16,120
Speaker 1: they were a week to ten days away from having

16
00:01:16,160 --> 00:01:22,280
Speaker 1: eleven nuclear bombs. I don't believe it. I don't believe it,

17
00:01:24,120 --> 00:01:26,920
Speaker 1: and I want to know when particular, because remember everybody

18
00:01:26,959 --> 00:01:31,080
Speaker 1: now is conveniently forgetting this. The same deep state that

19
00:01:31,120 --> 00:01:33,280
Speaker 1: has been lying to us now for god knows how

20
00:01:33,319 --> 00:01:37,520
Speaker 1: many years, is the same deep state that's feeding intelligence

21
00:01:38,120 --> 00:01:41,199
Speaker 1: to President Trump and to Rubio and to HEG Seth

22
00:01:41,319 --> 00:01:47,240
Speaker 1: and to JD. Vance and to our joint chiefs. So

23
00:01:47,720 --> 00:01:50,640
Speaker 1: do you trust the CIA? I don't trust the CIA.

24
00:01:52,240 --> 00:01:55,200
Speaker 1: Do you trust the NSSA. I don't trust the NSSA.

25
00:01:56,720 --> 00:01:59,280
Speaker 1: So what I'm saying is no, I'm sorry. I think

26
00:01:59,320 --> 00:02:02,920
Speaker 1: after the last twenty five years, and I've listed all

27
00:02:02,920 --> 00:02:05,720
Speaker 1: of the failures and all of the lies and all

28
00:02:05,760 --> 00:02:10,080
Speaker 1: of the falsehoods and misinformation and disinformation, that I think

29
00:02:10,120 --> 00:02:14,280
Speaker 1: we the American people, demand transparency if you're gonna take

30
00:02:14,360 --> 00:02:18,000
Speaker 1: us to war on the condition. And that's what you're

31
00:02:18,040 --> 00:02:22,280
Speaker 1: claiming that they were seven ten days away from not one,

32
00:02:22,400 --> 00:02:27,160
Speaker 1: not eleven bombs and by the way, ballistic missiles that

33
00:02:27,280 --> 00:02:30,679
Speaker 1: could have hit the United States, even though they could

34
00:02:30,680 --> 00:02:35,440
Speaker 1: barely hit Israel. But let that go. Yeah, No, I

35
00:02:35,480 --> 00:02:36,600
Speaker 1: want to see the evidence.

36
00:02:37,440 --> 00:02:37,840
Speaker 2: Show me.

37
00:02:37,919 --> 00:02:41,880
Speaker 1: I'm call me skeptical. I want to see the evidence.

38
00:02:42,200 --> 00:02:46,799
Speaker 1: Is this so unreasonable I'm supposed to take it all

39
00:02:46,840 --> 00:02:50,000
Speaker 1: on blind faith after having been lied to and lied

40
00:02:50,040 --> 00:02:52,000
Speaker 1: to and lied to. And by the way, I'm not

41
00:02:52,040 --> 00:02:54,160
Speaker 1: saying Trump is a liar. In fact, he's the opposite.

42
00:02:55,000 --> 00:02:58,680
Speaker 1: What I'm saying is like they gave George W. Bush

43
00:02:58,840 --> 00:03:03,079
Speaker 1: bad intelligence. How do we know they're not giving him

44
00:03:03,120 --> 00:03:08,480
Speaker 1: bad intelligence again, So what I'm supposed to take the

45
00:03:08,520 --> 00:03:11,320
Speaker 1: word of our deep state with all due respect, I'm

46
00:03:11,360 --> 00:03:15,800
Speaker 1: supposed to take the word of Israeli intelligence, Saudi intelligence,

47
00:03:17,160 --> 00:03:21,079
Speaker 1: intelligence from other countries in the region that have every

48
00:03:21,120 --> 00:03:25,400
Speaker 1: incentive to have the Mulla's overthrown because they despise that regime.

49
00:03:25,440 --> 00:03:31,480
Speaker 1: And I understand why, but remember they need us to

50
00:03:31,560 --> 00:03:34,960
Speaker 1: do the heavy lifting. The only country and the only

51
00:03:35,080 --> 00:03:39,880
Speaker 1: power that's strong enough to overthrow the Ayatolis is the

52
00:03:40,000 --> 00:03:42,560
Speaker 1: United States of America, and that's, by the way, for

53
00:03:42,680 --> 00:03:45,960
Speaker 1: most conflicts around the world. That's why the Ukrainians want

54
00:03:46,000 --> 00:03:50,320
Speaker 1: us involved, That's why Taiwan wants us involved with China.

55
00:03:50,880 --> 00:03:55,160
Speaker 1: I could go on and on. Everybody knows, you dragoon

56
00:03:55,240 --> 00:04:00,640
Speaker 1: the United States on your side, you will win. Now,

57
00:04:01,360 --> 00:04:04,320
Speaker 1: I want to get to Rubio very quickly because he

58
00:04:04,400 --> 00:04:06,960
Speaker 1: made a shocking I don't know if you saw his

59
00:04:07,080 --> 00:04:10,920
Speaker 1: back and forth with the media yesterday, but he gave

60
00:04:10,960 --> 00:04:17,559
Speaker 1: a shocking reason, an absolutely shocking reason for why. Because

61
00:04:17,560 --> 00:04:20,320
Speaker 1: there are people are asking the question, but why a

62
00:04:20,360 --> 00:04:25,520
Speaker 1: preemptive strike on Iran. It's not like Iran attacked us

63
00:04:26,080 --> 00:04:30,400
Speaker 1: and then we attacked Iran, We along with Israel obviously

64
00:04:30,920 --> 00:04:36,000
Speaker 1: launched a massive bombing missile campaign air sea missile power.

65
00:04:36,720 --> 00:04:42,640
Speaker 1: So why what happened that caused on Friday Saturday the

66
00:04:42,720 --> 00:04:47,560
Speaker 1: decision to launch Operation Epic Fury. Listen now to Rubio

67
00:04:48,800 --> 00:04:52,000
Speaker 1: roll cut twenty three A mic.

68
00:04:54,400 --> 00:04:57,240
Speaker 3: Second question I've been asked is why now? Well, there's

69
00:04:57,240 --> 00:04:59,680
Speaker 3: two reasons why now. The first is it was abundantly

70
00:04:59,720 --> 00:05:02,640
Speaker 3: clear that if Iran came under attack by anyone, the

71
00:05:02,720 --> 00:05:05,039
Speaker 3: United States or Israel or anyone, they were going to

72
00:05:05,080 --> 00:05:07,200
Speaker 3: respond and respond against the United States.

73
00:05:07,200 --> 00:05:08,120
Speaker 2: The orders had.

74
00:05:07,960 --> 00:05:10,880
Speaker 3: Been delegated down to the field commanders. It was automatic,

75
00:05:10,920 --> 00:05:12,960
Speaker 3: and in fact it bare to be true because in fact,

76
00:05:13,880 --> 00:05:17,760
Speaker 3: within an hour of the initial attack on the Leadership Compound,

77
00:05:18,320 --> 00:05:21,119
Speaker 3: the missile forces in the South and in the North

78
00:05:21,120 --> 00:05:23,840
Speaker 3: for that matter, had already been activated to launch, in fact,

79
00:05:24,240 --> 00:05:27,360
Speaker 3: those that already been prepositioned. The third is the assessment

80
00:05:27,360 --> 00:05:29,640
Speaker 3: that was made that if we stood and waited for

81
00:05:29,640 --> 00:05:32,839
Speaker 3: that attack to come first before we hit them, we

82
00:05:32,880 --> 00:05:36,000
Speaker 3: would suffer much higher casualties. And so the President made

83
00:05:36,040 --> 00:05:38,160
Speaker 3: the very wise decision. We knew that there was going

84
00:05:38,240 --> 00:05:40,240
Speaker 3: to be an Israeli action, We knew that that would

85
00:05:40,240 --> 00:05:43,279
Speaker 3: precipitate an attack against American forces, and we knew that

86
00:05:43,320 --> 00:05:45,839
Speaker 3: if we didn't preemptively go after them before they launched

87
00:05:45,839 --> 00:05:49,600
Speaker 3: those attacks, we would suffer higher casualties and perhaps even

88
00:05:49,760 --> 00:05:51,720
Speaker 3: high those killed. And then we would all be here

89
00:05:51,760 --> 00:05:53,359
Speaker 3: answering questions about why we knew that.

90
00:05:53,400 --> 00:05:55,719
Speaker 1: In Dad, did you catch all that?

91
00:05:56,760 --> 00:05:56,920
Speaker 2: Did?

92
00:05:56,960 --> 00:06:02,160
Speaker 1: I mean, it's like your head's like spinning in Israel

93
00:06:02,640 --> 00:06:08,000
Speaker 1: was gonna hit Iran? Iran thereby, according to him, was

94
00:06:08,040 --> 00:06:11,600
Speaker 1: gonna that that would trigger Iran launching a massive missile

95
00:06:11,640 --> 00:06:15,840
Speaker 1: attack on us basis. Okay, So just to put an

96
00:06:15,839 --> 00:06:17,719
Speaker 1: exclamation point, because I want to go right back to

97
00:06:17,760 --> 00:06:21,560
Speaker 1: the phone lines. To me, it was a shocking reason.

98
00:06:22,560 --> 00:06:25,120
Speaker 1: And by the way, I don't believe him. I'm gonna

99
00:06:25,120 --> 00:06:28,840
Speaker 1: be I don't believe him. So Rubio's answer was, well,

100
00:06:28,839 --> 00:06:32,760
Speaker 1: why now, Like, what's the rush? What changed all of

101
00:06:32,760 --> 00:06:36,160
Speaker 1: a sudden? In other words, what's the new reason? We

102
00:06:37,040 --> 00:06:40,839
Speaker 1: know what Iran's been doing for the last forty seven years, Okay,

103
00:06:40,880 --> 00:06:43,080
Speaker 1: we know what they've done to our troops in Iraq.

104
00:06:43,520 --> 00:06:46,039
Speaker 1: We know what they did in nineteen seventy nine, we

105
00:06:46,160 --> 00:06:49,479
Speaker 1: know what they did with the marine barracks, We know

106
00:06:49,640 --> 00:06:53,880
Speaker 1: everything all of the lists of crimes that the Iranian

107
00:06:53,920 --> 00:06:57,000
Speaker 1: regime has committed against US and against their neighbors and

108
00:06:57,040 --> 00:07:02,240
Speaker 1: against the world. So, but what's different now that you

109
00:07:02,400 --> 00:07:06,760
Speaker 1: need to launch this massive bombing campaign. And so Rubio's

110
00:07:06,800 --> 00:07:09,480
Speaker 1: answer was, well, the Israelies were going to hit him first,

111
00:07:10,880 --> 00:07:13,080
Speaker 1: and we knew the fact that Israel was going to

112
00:07:13,160 --> 00:07:16,200
Speaker 1: hit him and hit him hard, that this would automatically

113
00:07:16,240 --> 00:07:22,760
Speaker 1: trigger a massive Iranian missile attack on US forces and

114
00:07:22,960 --> 00:07:28,520
Speaker 1: US bases across the Middle East, across the region, and

115
00:07:28,600 --> 00:07:31,640
Speaker 1: so we were forced. In other words, he's saying, basically,

116
00:07:31,760 --> 00:07:35,600
Speaker 1: Israel forced our hand. We were forced to hit Iran

117
00:07:36,560 --> 00:07:41,680
Speaker 1: before Israel did the pre empt Israel and thereby pre

118
00:07:41,720 --> 00:07:47,640
Speaker 1: empty Iran. So what he's really saying, as I pointed

119
00:07:47,640 --> 00:07:50,800
Speaker 1: out on X which I don't believe, by the way,

120
00:07:52,520 --> 00:07:56,440
Speaker 1: is that Israel dragged us into this war, or to

121
00:07:56,480 --> 00:08:01,760
Speaker 1: be more accurate, bb netin Yahoo dragged Trump and the

122
00:08:01,880 --> 00:08:07,480
Speaker 1: United States into this war. That bb essentially that bb

123
00:08:07,640 --> 00:08:11,160
Speaker 1: called up Trump and said we're gonna we're hitting Tehran. Now.

124
00:08:11,600 --> 00:08:15,280
Speaker 1: Our evidence says these guys got eleven bombs and they're

125
00:08:15,280 --> 00:08:17,080
Speaker 1: going to have them in about seven to ten days,

126
00:08:17,120 --> 00:08:19,559
Speaker 1: and that's our risk I'm not taking, and We're going

127
00:08:19,560 --> 00:08:22,680
Speaker 1: in hard and heavy, and you know, and then well

128
00:08:22,800 --> 00:08:24,360
Speaker 1: that's going to mean, you know, the Molas are going

129
00:08:24,400 --> 00:08:26,040
Speaker 1: to say, you guys are behind us, and so they're

130
00:08:26,040 --> 00:08:28,600
Speaker 1: going to launch all these missile attacks and on you

131
00:08:28,680 --> 00:08:31,280
Speaker 1: guys and on your troops and on your bases across

132
00:08:31,360 --> 00:08:35,240
Speaker 1: the region, and you know, so just get ready. And

133
00:08:35,280 --> 00:08:37,959
Speaker 1: then Trump said, well, ift Israelis are going to hit him,

134
00:08:38,360 --> 00:08:41,760
Speaker 1: and the Iranians are going to retaliate against us. And

135
00:08:41,800 --> 00:08:44,440
Speaker 1: as Rubio said in that cut that I played, and

136
00:08:44,480 --> 00:08:46,720
Speaker 1: there are American casualties and we're all going to get

137
00:08:46,720 --> 00:08:49,600
Speaker 1: blamed for these casualties. Well, now I got no choice.

138
00:08:50,160 --> 00:08:52,000
Speaker 1: I got a pre empt Israel and I got a

139
00:08:52,000 --> 00:08:58,040
Speaker 1: pre empty run. So basically what he's saying is Israel

140
00:08:58,640 --> 00:09:01,720
Speaker 1: dragged us into war. Now let me just say a

141
00:09:01,720 --> 00:09:05,760
Speaker 1: couple things. I don't believe it because I know Trump

142
00:09:06,920 --> 00:09:10,319
Speaker 1: and I know his relationship with net Nyahu. He has

143
00:09:10,400 --> 00:09:15,320
Speaker 1: told Netanyah who no on many occasions. This idea that

144
00:09:15,400 --> 00:09:19,000
Speaker 1: Netanya who is running Trump is a lie, that the

145
00:09:19,040 --> 00:09:23,280
Speaker 1: tail is wagging the dog is a lie. Biebe didn't

146
00:09:23,280 --> 00:09:27,160
Speaker 1: want to stop on the twelfth day. And you know,

147
00:09:27,480 --> 00:09:30,920
Speaker 1: during last year's you know, Operation Midnight Hammer. During last

148
00:09:31,000 --> 00:09:35,120
Speaker 1: year's bombing campaign of Iron's nuclear program, it was Trump

149
00:09:35,200 --> 00:09:38,839
Speaker 1: who picked up the phone and said, it's over. Okay, no, no,

150
00:09:38,679 --> 00:09:43,280
Speaker 1: no more, send the jets back home, the operation fiinito,

151
00:09:43,520 --> 00:09:47,480
Speaker 1: it's complete, it's done. There are many times that he says,

152
00:09:47,520 --> 00:09:50,360
Speaker 1: you know, I've told Biebe stop, knock it off. No more.

153
00:09:51,720 --> 00:09:51,800
Speaker 3: So.

154
00:09:52,240 --> 00:09:57,199
Speaker 1: He has said no to netting Yahoo on many occasions.

155
00:09:57,760 --> 00:10:02,760
Speaker 1: So I don't believe that somehow Netanyahu forced his hand.

156
00:10:02,840 --> 00:10:07,840
Speaker 1: I don't believe it. So the question then is why.

157
00:10:09,240 --> 00:10:12,800
Speaker 1: And my opinion you could disagree with me. My opinion

158
00:10:12,920 --> 00:10:17,960
Speaker 1: is I think the deep state, our intelligence community fed

159
00:10:18,040 --> 00:10:25,160
Speaker 1: him information and been feeding him information saying you got

160
00:10:25,200 --> 00:10:27,480
Speaker 1: seven days to hack, you've got ten days to act.

161
00:10:27,600 --> 00:10:29,480
Speaker 1: It's now, We're never my god, if you don't do

162
00:10:29,559 --> 00:10:32,679
Speaker 1: it now, they're gonna have a weapon. They're gonna have

163
00:10:32,720 --> 00:10:36,920
Speaker 1: ballistic missiles and uh, you know, forget Israel. They're gonna

164
00:10:37,000 --> 00:10:39,480
Speaker 1: they're gonna hit Rome, They're gonna hit Berlin, they're gonna

165
00:10:39,520 --> 00:10:41,800
Speaker 1: hit London, they're gonna hit Paris, Hell, They're gonna be

166
00:10:41,880 --> 00:10:45,760
Speaker 1: hitting Boston and New York before you know it. Now,

167
00:10:45,800 --> 00:10:51,120
Speaker 1: what's interesting is London and Berlin and Paris and Rome

168
00:10:51,320 --> 00:10:57,920
Speaker 1: and Warsaw don't buy this intelligence. I mean, you can

169
00:10:58,000 --> 00:11:01,160
Speaker 1: call him craven Europeans. Still, the cows come home, they

170
00:11:01,240 --> 00:11:06,840
Speaker 1: don't buy the intelligence. The Saudis don't buy the intelligence.

171
00:11:06,880 --> 00:11:11,000
Speaker 1: Their neighbors the Gulf States say nah, we don't believe

172
00:11:11,000 --> 00:11:15,480
Speaker 1: it because they don't want if Iron has a nuclear weapon,

173
00:11:15,520 --> 00:11:20,160
Speaker 1: it's going to threaten them. So others who've looked at

174
00:11:20,160 --> 00:11:24,200
Speaker 1: the intelligence or going through their intelligence communities are saying, no,

175
00:11:24,440 --> 00:11:27,040
Speaker 1: I don't believe it. No, they're not that close, not

176
00:11:27,080 --> 00:11:29,800
Speaker 1: even close. They're not even close to being that close.

177
00:11:32,679 --> 00:11:35,520
Speaker 1: So the question is, and I think that's why I'm saying,

178
00:11:35,559 --> 00:11:38,080
Speaker 1: we need more transparency. I want to know about the

179
00:11:38,120 --> 00:11:41,199
Speaker 1: decision making process, and I want to know what kind

180
00:11:41,200 --> 00:11:44,760
Speaker 1: of evidence you have. Is the deep state trying to

181
00:11:44,760 --> 00:11:49,440
Speaker 1: manipulate Trump into a war because they believe that a

182
00:11:49,480 --> 00:11:54,120
Speaker 1: war will cost him the midterm elections now the way

183
00:11:54,160 --> 00:11:58,040
Speaker 1: they've been manipulating Trump for the last ten years and

184
00:11:58,080 --> 00:12:00,680
Speaker 1: trying to destroy Trump for the last ten years, starting

185
00:12:00,679 --> 00:12:03,840
Speaker 1: with Russia collusion, I don't think this is an outlandish

186
00:12:03,920 --> 00:12:11,240
Speaker 1: or outrageous question. So again, don't I'm not you know,

187
00:12:11,320 --> 00:12:16,760
Speaker 1: it's not like Oh Cooner hates Trump, exact opposite. I

188
00:12:16,800 --> 00:12:20,240
Speaker 1: wouldn't trust my our intelligence community with a tend foot poll.

189
00:12:22,760 --> 00:12:28,440
Speaker 1: I just wouldn't. So I want to see more evidence.

190
00:12:28,840 --> 00:12:31,640
Speaker 1: I want to see more proof because right now I

191
00:12:31,640 --> 00:12:35,160
Speaker 1: don't trust anybody, and after what we've been through as

192
00:12:35,200 --> 00:12:37,720
Speaker 1: a country for the last twenty five years, I don't

193
00:12:37,760 --> 00:12:44,160
Speaker 1: think anybody should agree disagree. Tom in New Hampshire, Thanks

194
00:12:44,160 --> 00:12:45,640
Speaker 1: for holding Tom, and.

195
00:12:45,640 --> 00:12:51,400
Speaker 4: Welcome hello, Jeff. Hi to thank you for bringing some

196
00:12:51,480 --> 00:12:55,240
Speaker 4: balance to this illegal war that's going on right now,

197
00:12:55,559 --> 00:13:00,240
Speaker 4: at least that's what some people would call it. The

198
00:13:00,320 --> 00:13:03,319
Speaker 4: last time there was a War Powers Resolution Act I

199
00:13:03,360 --> 00:13:07,520
Speaker 4: think was probably to declare war on Japan for before

200
00:13:07,559 --> 00:13:11,839
Speaker 4: World War two involved. So this is this is a

201
00:13:11,960 --> 00:13:14,439
Speaker 4: question needs to be continued to be asked. I mean,

202
00:13:14,559 --> 00:13:16,800
Speaker 4: you look at Korea, you look at Vietnam and all

203
00:13:16,800 --> 00:13:20,880
Speaker 4: these situations and Iraq. All you have to do is look,

204
00:13:21,240 --> 00:13:23,000
Speaker 4: you know, go back to two thousand and three and

205
00:13:23,720 --> 00:13:26,400
Speaker 4: just substitute a few names in there, and it's the

206
00:13:26,440 --> 00:13:30,240
Speaker 4: same thing, Jeff. If you watch some of the old

207
00:13:30,320 --> 00:13:34,680
Speaker 4: clips before we hacked Iraq was the same thing. You

208
00:13:34,760 --> 00:13:36,880
Speaker 4: just put different names in there. But it's the same.

209
00:13:37,360 --> 00:13:40,880
Speaker 4: It's just almost like it's theater. It's almost like propaganda.

210
00:13:40,920 --> 00:13:41,360
Speaker 5: I don't know.

211
00:13:42,080 --> 00:13:46,560
Speaker 4: My favorite expression is read history, otherwise you're doomed to

212
00:13:46,600 --> 00:13:49,199
Speaker 4: repeat it. It's the same thing. It's it's the same

213
00:13:49,880 --> 00:13:53,440
Speaker 4: continuing to get involved in other people's countries when we

214
00:13:53,559 --> 00:13:57,400
Speaker 4: have so many problems of our own here. And so

215
00:13:57,800 --> 00:14:00,680
Speaker 4: I guess i'd just like to say, I I'm wondering

216
00:14:00,679 --> 00:14:03,160
Speaker 4: if you saw that reporter. I'm not sure if it

217
00:14:03,160 --> 00:14:07,240
Speaker 4: was drop site News or drop site news. Pressing Fetterman,

218
00:14:08,080 --> 00:14:14,240
Speaker 4: John Fetterman and Pennsylvania, what does attacking Iran? What does

219
00:14:14,280 --> 00:14:17,719
Speaker 4: attacking Iran will help Pennsylvanians. And he's kind of just

220
00:14:17,760 --> 00:14:20,880
Speaker 4: shut him down, just kind of walked away, And so

221
00:14:21,120 --> 00:14:24,320
Speaker 4: I don't know if I'm not so certain that this

222
00:14:24,360 --> 00:14:27,640
Speaker 4: will affect the midterms because a lot of Democrats are

223
00:14:27,640 --> 00:14:31,160
Speaker 4: for this as well, just like the Ukrainian the war,

224
00:14:31,560 --> 00:14:35,240
Speaker 4: the funding for the Ukraine War, I think it's almost

225
00:14:35,240 --> 00:14:38,000
Speaker 4: like a union party. It's almost like theater now with this,

226
00:14:38,240 --> 00:14:41,200
Speaker 4: with the violence that's going on in the Middle East,

227
00:14:41,320 --> 00:14:44,840
Speaker 4: and it's nothing new. I mean, even before seventy nine,

228
00:14:45,680 --> 00:14:48,320
Speaker 4: the US was involved with most of the deck before

229
00:14:48,400 --> 00:14:51,760
Speaker 4: the shaw of Iran. So this goes back many, many years,

230
00:14:51,880 --> 00:14:54,760
Speaker 4: I mean before I was born. So I just wish

231
00:14:54,760 --> 00:14:59,560
Speaker 4: we'd stopped getting involved in other countries and make America first.

232
00:14:59,760 --> 00:15:02,600
Speaker 4: This is what Trump campaigned on and why he won.

233
00:15:02,760 --> 00:15:05,520
Speaker 4: And it just seems to be, you know, as a

234
00:15:05,520 --> 00:15:08,760
Speaker 4: Trump voter myself in the past, I mean, it seems

235
00:15:08,800 --> 00:15:10,880
Speaker 4: like everything has been forgotten about that.

236
00:15:11,120 --> 00:15:15,400
Speaker 1: So well, Tom, look what you're describing is An is

237
00:15:15,400 --> 00:15:19,920
Speaker 1: an empire, and that's that told. And it's not under Trump.

238
00:15:19,960 --> 00:15:22,040
Speaker 1: This has been going on for god knows how long,

239
00:15:22,680 --> 00:15:25,920
Speaker 1: but we have become an empire. And look here, just

240
00:15:26,000 --> 00:15:31,080
Speaker 1: to prove it. Iran is our problem, Gaza is our problem.

241
00:15:31,760 --> 00:15:37,840
Speaker 1: The Whusi's in Yemen our problem, Ukraine our problem, Cambodia,

242
00:15:37,960 --> 00:15:41,000
Speaker 1: Thailand our problem. Remember those are the piece deals that

243
00:15:41,040 --> 00:15:46,280
Speaker 1: Trump helped sign. Couss Ofo, Serbia our problem, these conflicts

244
00:15:46,280 --> 00:15:53,520
Speaker 1: in Africa our problem, Taiwan, China our problem, Vietnam our problem,

245
00:15:54,080 --> 00:15:59,520
Speaker 1: the security of Japan our problem, Venezuela our problem. Like

246
00:16:00,480 --> 00:16:04,480
Speaker 1: what place, what corner of the world is not our problem.

247
00:16:04,960 --> 00:16:10,000
Speaker 1: Alex in Watertown, Thanks for holding Alex, and welcome.

248
00:16:10,560 --> 00:16:15,480
Speaker 5: Good morning, Jeff, Hi Alex usually I agree with you,

249
00:16:15,680 --> 00:16:20,640
Speaker 5: But when it comes to this issue in this military

250
00:16:20,680 --> 00:16:27,360
Speaker 5: campaign against Iran, right now, you and all these anti

251
00:16:27,680 --> 00:16:33,000
Speaker 5: campaign MAGA people are missing a big picture here. This

252
00:16:33,320 --> 00:16:36,360
Speaker 5: is not a new war. This is not even a

253
00:16:36,400 --> 00:16:40,120
Speaker 5: war against the country. This is an international war that's

254
00:16:40,120 --> 00:16:44,280
Speaker 5: been going on for over decades that Iran started and

255
00:16:44,360 --> 00:16:47,800
Speaker 5: it's about time we finished this war. This war has

256
00:16:47,800 --> 00:16:51,600
Speaker 5: already started, Jeff, before Trump even became president in his

257
00:16:51,680 --> 00:16:56,080
Speaker 5: first term. This war has to end. I'm with Natagna,

258
00:16:56,160 --> 00:17:00,120
Speaker 5: who it won't be as good as he says it will, well,

259
00:17:00,280 --> 00:17:03,040
Speaker 5: but we'll get there halfways. At least there'll be more

260
00:17:03,080 --> 00:17:05,520
Speaker 5: peace than ever before in the Middle East. I believe that,

261
00:17:06,040 --> 00:17:09,040
Speaker 5: and I believe Rubio because he warned us what would

262
00:17:09,040 --> 00:17:11,840
Speaker 5: happen a year for now if we do nothing? And

263
00:17:11,960 --> 00:17:14,960
Speaker 5: like many CEO said, I won't name him, but the

264
00:17:15,040 --> 00:17:16,760
Speaker 5: greatest risk is doing nothing.

265
00:17:19,400 --> 00:17:21,840
Speaker 1: Well, Alex, let me ask you this, what if things

266
00:17:22,000 --> 00:17:25,360
Speaker 1: don't go I'm just going to use Iraq as an example.

267
00:17:26,359 --> 00:17:29,159
Speaker 1: What if things don't go the way they predict and

268
00:17:29,280 --> 00:17:33,400
Speaker 1: hope it goes that? Okay, maybe the Mulla's fall, which

269
00:17:33,400 --> 00:17:35,840
Speaker 1: would be great. I mean, who wants the mullas in power.

270
00:17:36,720 --> 00:17:41,280
Speaker 1: But it's not a democracy, it's not even a stable regime.

271
00:17:42,080 --> 00:17:45,600
Speaker 1: What if Iran is broken into pieces. What if we

272
00:17:45,680 --> 00:17:49,119
Speaker 1: have a civil war and we have millions and millions

273
00:17:49,119 --> 00:17:54,120
Speaker 1: of migrants pouring across the region, pouring into Europe, radical

274
00:17:54,200 --> 00:17:59,960
Speaker 1: SHII groups everywhere, civil war breaks out, anarchy. Is that

275
00:18:00,160 --> 00:18:03,040
Speaker 1: going to make the Middle East more stable or more peaceful?

276
00:18:03,119 --> 00:18:07,600
Speaker 1: I don't think so. Like, yeah, you're right, if it's

277
00:18:07,640 --> 00:18:12,000
Speaker 1: the best case scenario. Of course, Look who doesn't want

278
00:18:12,000 --> 00:18:15,719
Speaker 1: the shaw Son, the crown prince to come back. Of

279
00:18:15,760 --> 00:18:18,919
Speaker 1: course I'd love for him to come back, but I

280
00:18:18,960 --> 00:18:22,399
Speaker 1: don't know if he has enough popularity in Iran to

281
00:18:22,520 --> 00:18:26,520
Speaker 1: come back. For example, the shaw Son Pavlov gave an

282
00:18:26,560 --> 00:18:29,480
Speaker 1: interview yesterday and he said, oh, the military is with

283
00:18:29,560 --> 00:18:32,199
Speaker 1: me all the way. I'm like, the military's with you

284
00:18:32,320 --> 00:18:36,760
Speaker 1: all the way. No one's defecting. I mean, whatever you

285
00:18:36,760 --> 00:18:40,520
Speaker 1: want to say about the Iranian military, they're sticking with

286
00:18:40,600 --> 00:18:45,920
Speaker 1: the Ayatolas. So and I remember alex Iraq, the Iraq War,

287
00:18:46,400 --> 00:18:49,040
Speaker 1: where you had all these people claiming, oh no, Saddam

288
00:18:49,119 --> 00:18:52,000
Speaker 1: Hussein leaves and I'm ready to fill his shoes. Oh no,

289
00:18:52,080 --> 00:18:55,119
Speaker 1: they want me back. No, No, these people will support me,

290
00:18:55,800 --> 00:18:59,200
Speaker 1: and they didn't have much of a constituency. So all

291
00:18:59,240 --> 00:19:03,359
Speaker 1: I'm just saying, Alex is, do we have an exit strategy?

292
00:19:03,760 --> 00:19:06,920
Speaker 1: I don't see it. And do we have a post

293
00:19:07,280 --> 00:19:12,359
Speaker 1: Iatola strategy? I don't see it. If I saw it,

294
00:19:12,400 --> 00:19:15,000
Speaker 1: I'd be a lot more confident. But right now I

295
00:19:15,040 --> 00:19:19,119
Speaker 1: don't see it. And what I don't see are people

296
00:19:19,200 --> 00:19:22,600
Speaker 1: on the street rising up against the Mullus. Now I

297
00:19:22,680 --> 00:19:25,840
Speaker 1: understand bombs are dropping, I get it, but I'm not

298
00:19:26,040 --> 00:19:28,600
Speaker 1: seeing the kind of opposition that I saw even four

299
00:19:28,680 --> 00:19:32,679
Speaker 1: or five weeks ago. So my fear, Alex is, they

300
00:19:32,720 --> 00:19:36,440
Speaker 1: may have wiped out the opposition and now we're bombing

301
00:19:36,480 --> 00:19:42,040
Speaker 1: them and it's too little, too late. Final word to you, Jeff.

302
00:19:42,200 --> 00:19:45,960
Speaker 5: First of all, it would be morally wrong to allow

303
00:19:46,000 --> 00:19:49,119
Speaker 5: these thirty six thousand people to die for nothing, and

304
00:19:49,160 --> 00:19:52,080
Speaker 5: I believe there's more of them waiting to rise, more

305
00:19:52,119 --> 00:19:54,240
Speaker 5: than to get out of the houses when the bombing stops.

306
00:19:54,760 --> 00:19:57,280
Speaker 5: But one thing is a guarantee here. What Trump is

307
00:19:57,320 --> 00:20:00,119
Speaker 5: guaranteeing here and what even warning I ran for the

308
00:20:00,200 --> 00:20:05,080
Speaker 5: last nine years, He will dismantle this regime militarily completely.

309
00:20:05,359 --> 00:20:08,840
Speaker 5: There'll be no more missiles, no more ships, no more tanks.

310
00:20:09,119 --> 00:20:13,840
Speaker 5: He will dismantle dis regime completely, and that alone makes

311
00:20:13,880 --> 00:20:17,120
Speaker 5: it worth the campaign, and not let these thirty six

312
00:20:17,160 --> 00:20:19,520
Speaker 5: thousand people die in fain. And there's more of them.

313
00:20:19,680 --> 00:20:21,760
Speaker 5: There's millions of them. You watch.

314
00:20:22,200 --> 00:20:24,560
Speaker 1: Oh, I hope you're right, Alex. From your lips to

315
00:20:24,600 --> 00:20:28,640

316
00:20:28,840 --> 00:20:33,600
Speaker 1: red white and blue dynamite baby in New Jersey. Tom,

317
00:20:33,680 --> 00:20:35,720
Speaker 1: I hate to do this to you. You've got one

318
00:20:35,800 --> 00:20:37,080

Speaker 2: Thank you for the red, white and blue dynamite baby. Jeff, Jeff,

320
00:20:41,840 --> 00:20:47,680
Speaker 2: I'll be brief. Trump is President Midas. The things he's

321
00:20:47,760 --> 00:20:53,520
Speaker 2: engaged with have been almost entirely wins times up. Iran.

322
00:20:54,160 --> 00:20:56,840
Speaker 2: You've been the head of the snake from day one.

323
00:20:57,080 --> 00:21:02,360
Speaker 2: Trump has earned our support. But today this becomes the

324
00:21:02,400 --> 00:21:07,320
Speaker 2: military industrial complex. Is the day he loses our support.

325
00:21:07,760 --> 00:21:13,360
Speaker 2: Our exit strategy is air power, naval power only.

326
00:21:13,920 --> 00:21:14,280
Speaker 5: Baby.

327
00:21:14,720 --> 00:21:18,040
Speaker 2: You got the ground, baby, and when the time's up,

328
00:21:19,000 --> 00:21:23,480
Speaker 2: our naval power and our air power comes home. This

329
00:21:23,640 --> 00:21:27,959
Speaker 2: is not going to be another endless war. President Trump,

330
00:21:28,400 --> 00:21:33,119
Speaker 2: don't get sucked in to the Dick Cheney, George Bush

331
00:21:33,280 --> 00:21:38,560
Speaker 2: bots and the rhinos that has brought our party to

332
00:21:39,480 --> 00:21:41,840
Speaker 2: a non constitutional republic.

333
00:21:41,920 --> 00:21:42,240
Speaker 5: Jeff.

334
00:21:42,240 --> 00:21:45,080
Speaker 2: So let's give him the benefit of the doubt, let's

335
00:21:45,160 --> 00:21:48,199
Speaker 2: support him, and we'll hold his feet to the fire.

336
00:21:48,359 --> 00:21:51,280
Speaker 5: On the Cooner report, what do you think, Jeff, Well.

337
00:21:51,040 --> 00:21:53,520
Speaker 1: Tom, look, I think the message that I think we

338
00:21:53,600 --> 00:21:57,240
Speaker 1: can all agree on. I think no boots on the ground.

339
00:21:58,040 --> 00:22:00,480
Speaker 1: I think Cooner. We may disagree on others things, but

340
00:22:00,560 --> 00:22:07,080
Speaker 1: on this air power, sea power, missile power, but don't

341
00:22:07,160 --> 00:22:09,600
Speaker 1: send in US forces or US soldiers.
