1 00:00:00,240 --> 00:00:06,600 Speaker 1: No, no, hell no. President Trump, now, according to multiple 2 00:00:06,640 --> 00:00:12,200 Speaker 1: media reports, is weighing the possibility, apparently very seriously among 3 00:00:12,320 --> 00:00:17,560 Speaker 1: some people in his inner circle, of deploying ground forces 4 00:00:17,640 --> 00:00:21,040 Speaker 1: into Iran. Now, to be clear and to be fair 5 00:00:21,079 --> 00:00:25,239 Speaker 1: to the President, he's not talking about some massive, large 6 00:00:25,280 --> 00:00:29,880 Speaker 1: ground invasion a lah the Iraq War or Ala Afghanistan. 7 00:00:30,440 --> 00:00:33,960 Speaker 1: What he wants to do is to send in special forces, 8 00:00:34,560 --> 00:00:38,600 Speaker 1: maybe several thousand of them. There's no specific figure, but 9 00:00:38,680 --> 00:00:44,840 Speaker 1: it would be a small, limited deployment of special operations forces, 10 00:00:45,240 --> 00:00:47,640 Speaker 1: whether they be I don't know, Navy Seal Team six 11 00:00:47,800 --> 00:00:51,879 Speaker 1: or the Army Rangers or Green Berets or whatever it is, 12 00:00:52,640 --> 00:00:57,480 Speaker 1: a commando unit or several commando units to go into Iran. 13 00:00:58,000 --> 00:01:03,440 Speaker 1: Why in order to to either seize and extract or 14 00:01:03,520 --> 00:01:09,720 Speaker 1: destroy the highly enriched uranium stockpile. There's about four hundred 15 00:01:09,720 --> 00:01:13,400 Speaker 1: and fifty kilograms that the it's believed that the Mullahs 16 00:01:13,480 --> 00:01:17,280 Speaker 1: have secretly somewhere and that they want to then grab 17 00:01:17,360 --> 00:01:20,080 Speaker 1: that so the Ayatolas can't keep their hands on it, 18 00:01:20,480 --> 00:01:24,400 Speaker 1: or god forbid, other terrorist groups operating in the country 19 00:01:24,480 --> 00:01:28,840 Speaker 1: like ISIS could get their hands on I understand the 20 00:01:28,880 --> 00:01:35,440 Speaker 1: president wants a complete victory, meaning that Iran's nuclear program 21 00:01:36,040 --> 00:01:42,839 Speaker 1: is wiped out, utterly obliterated, nothing left behind, including their 22 00:01:42,959 --> 00:01:48,160 Speaker 1: uranium and their enriched uranium stockpile. But I'm just telling 23 00:01:48,200 --> 00:01:53,040 Speaker 1: the President either have Israel do it, send in their 24 00:01:53,120 --> 00:01:57,120 Speaker 1: commandos and put their boots on the ground, or forget 25 00:01:57,160 --> 00:02:00,680 Speaker 1: about it, because there is no appetit tight in this 26 00:02:00,840 --> 00:02:05,680 Speaker 1: country for US boots on the ground. We've been down 27 00:02:05,720 --> 00:02:11,040 Speaker 1: this road before, again and again and again, and this 28 00:02:11,240 --> 00:02:14,400 Speaker 1: is exactly what the Mullahs want. They've openly said it. 29 00:02:15,200 --> 00:02:19,080 Speaker 1: They are simply waiting for US to bring in ground 30 00:02:19,080 --> 00:02:24,240 Speaker 1: troops so they can launch a blistering counterattack, ambush us, 31 00:02:24,760 --> 00:02:29,040 Speaker 1: kill our soldiers, and then do what they ultimately want, 32 00:02:29,440 --> 00:02:34,280 Speaker 1: which is a protracted quagmire and a protracted land war, 33 00:02:34,440 --> 00:02:38,040 Speaker 1: or a ground war that will slowly bleed us the 34 00:02:38,080 --> 00:02:42,639 Speaker 1: way the Islamis bled us in both Iraq and Afghanistan. 35 00:02:43,480 --> 00:02:47,560 Speaker 1: In other words, it's a trap and the President shouldn't 36 00:02:47,560 --> 00:02:52,280 Speaker 1: fall for it. We have complete air supremacy. We are 37 00:02:52,400 --> 00:02:57,040 Speaker 1: pounding Iran into the stone age. Their navy is gone, 38 00:02:57,520 --> 00:03:02,320 Speaker 1: their air force is gone, their air defenses have been shattered, 39 00:03:02,760 --> 00:03:08,040 Speaker 1: their nuclear ballistic program is in tatters. The Mullah's militarily 40 00:03:08,160 --> 00:03:12,400 Speaker 1: now are on the ropes. Even Trump says he will 41 00:03:12,400 --> 00:03:16,280 Speaker 1: not attempt anything like this, at least for another week 42 00:03:16,400 --> 00:03:20,799 Speaker 1: or ten days, because he wants to weaken the Iranian military, 43 00:03:21,080 --> 00:03:25,000 Speaker 1: especially their army and their soldiers on the ground, to 44 00:03:25,080 --> 00:03:28,200 Speaker 1: the extent that it would not pose too much of 45 00:03:28,240 --> 00:03:32,560 Speaker 1: a risk to send in an extraction team into Iran. 46 00:03:34,280 --> 00:03:37,680 Speaker 1: I don't like it. I don't want any ground troops. 47 00:03:38,200 --> 00:03:42,600 Speaker 1: I don't want any more casualties. The risks are too high. 48 00:03:43,280 --> 00:03:46,200 Speaker 1: And imagine if it goes bad and our soldiers are 49 00:03:46,240 --> 00:03:51,720 Speaker 1: slaughtered or take heavy casualties, the pressure will be inexorable 50 00:03:52,280 --> 00:03:56,000 Speaker 1: to send in even more troops to protect our troops 51 00:03:56,000 --> 00:03:59,720 Speaker 1: that are already there, and to punish the Iatolas and 52 00:03:59,760 --> 00:04:03,960 Speaker 1: Thes for ambushing our forces, and to get all of 53 00:04:04,000 --> 00:04:08,240 Speaker 1: the uranium out. It's gonna suck us in. It is 54 00:04:08,320 --> 00:04:11,960 Speaker 1: like quicksand you put in one foot, you gotta put 55 00:04:11,960 --> 00:04:14,720 Speaker 1: in the other foot, and before you know it, you 56 00:04:14,800 --> 00:04:21,920 Speaker 1: start sinking. No ground troops in Iran. And if Trump 57 00:04:22,000 --> 00:04:26,840 Speaker 1: does decide to do it, the American people must have 58 00:04:27,080 --> 00:04:31,520 Speaker 1: our voices heard. It can only do so with the 59 00:04:31,640 --> 00:04:36,760 Speaker 1: full approval and authorization from Congress. The Congress will need 60 00:04:36,800 --> 00:04:41,840 Speaker 1: to vote on it. Otherwise Trump will be impeached. And 61 00:04:41,920 --> 00:04:46,600 Speaker 1: I'm warning him. You send ground troops into Iran, the 62 00:04:46,680 --> 00:04:51,680 Speaker 1: Democrats will slaughter you in the midterm elections. There is 63 00:04:52,120 --> 00:04:56,480 Speaker 1: no public appetite for a ground war or for US 64 00:04:56,600 --> 00:05:02,080 Speaker 1: boots on the ground. Mister President, This bombing campaign, this 65 00:05:02,200 --> 00:05:09,000 Speaker 1: Operation Epic Fury, is already the riskiest gambit of your 66 00:05:09,240 --> 00:05:14,440 Speaker 1: entire presidency, first term and now this second term. You 67 00:05:14,640 --> 00:05:18,640 Speaker 1: send in US ground troops, you will lose the American 68 00:05:18,720 --> 00:05:23,400 Speaker 1: public their support, and I fear with it the midterms. 69 00:05:24,360 --> 00:05:29,400 Speaker 1: Don't do it. Not a single boot on the ground.
