1
00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:05,600
Speaker 1: President Trump, now, according to multiple media reports, is seriously

2
00:00:05,680 --> 00:00:10,840
Speaker 1: weighing the option of sending in US special forces along

3
00:00:10,880 --> 00:00:18,160
Speaker 1: with conventional regular infantry to go deep inside Iran and

4
00:00:18,440 --> 00:00:24,360
Speaker 1: extract the highly enriched uranium, about one thousand pounds that

5
00:00:24,520 --> 00:00:31,720
Speaker 1: is buried deep underground. It is a very risky, complex operation. Trump, though,

6
00:00:31,800 --> 00:00:35,080
Speaker 1: says he will not end the war until all of

7
00:00:35,120 --> 00:00:41,559
Speaker 1: the enriched uranium has been seized from Iran, extracted and

8
00:00:41,760 --> 00:00:45,400
Speaker 1: out of the hands of the Mullahs, and so to

9
00:00:45,560 --> 00:00:49,000
Speaker 1: do this operation, he is going to have to order

10
00:00:49,159 --> 00:00:53,479
Speaker 1: about ten thousand troops to go into the interior of

11
00:00:53,560 --> 00:00:58,200
Speaker 1: Iran where they believe this enriched uranium is buried under rubble,

12
00:00:59,000 --> 00:01:04,360
Speaker 1: create a mixture shift airfield, land in special forces, conventional

13
00:01:04,360 --> 00:01:09,440
Speaker 1: military to secure the perimeter, and then land excavation I'm

14
00:01:09,440 --> 00:01:15,120
Speaker 1: not kidding, trucks and other excavation equipment, a special team

15
00:01:15,200 --> 00:01:19,800
Speaker 1: of nuclear scientists, and it could take three four days,

16
00:01:19,959 --> 00:01:24,640
Speaker 1: even maybe a week to get all of that enriched

17
00:01:24,800 --> 00:01:30,720
Speaker 1: uranium out and then safely onto containers resembling scuba tanks,

18
00:01:31,280 --> 00:01:34,520
Speaker 1: and then to get them safely shipped out of the country.

19
00:01:35,280 --> 00:01:41,560
Speaker 1: My friends, it will be a disaster. I am deeply

20
00:01:41,760 --> 00:01:44,680
Speaker 1: urging the President not to do it, and I'll tell

21
00:01:44,680 --> 00:01:49,320
Speaker 1: you why. It is a trap. The Iranians are waiting

22
00:01:49,480 --> 00:01:55,560
Speaker 1: for an ambush, Iranian fighters, drones and missiles. Once our

23
00:01:55,640 --> 00:01:59,640
Speaker 1: troops are in that deep into the country, into the interior,

24
00:02:00,280 --> 00:02:03,600
Speaker 1: they will be surrounded and they do not have enough

25
00:02:03,640 --> 00:02:08,480
Speaker 1: forces on the ground to repel a massive Iranian attack.

26
00:02:09,160 --> 00:02:13,600
Speaker 1: It will be a potential blood bath where our troops,

27
00:02:13,680 --> 00:02:17,840
Speaker 1: our men and women, will be slaughtered, and Trump then

28
00:02:18,160 --> 00:02:22,080
Speaker 1: will be forced to leave Iran the war in utter

29
00:02:22,200 --> 00:02:27,040
Speaker 1: humiliation or double or triple down. By sending in twenty

30
00:02:27,200 --> 00:02:31,200
Speaker 1: thirty forty fifty thousand ground troops, it will lead to

31
00:02:31,240 --> 00:02:37,600
Speaker 1: a protracted quagmire Iraq two point zero. Mister President, Let

32
00:02:37,680 --> 00:02:42,560
Speaker 1: the Israelis do it, but don't put any more US

33
00:02:42,720 --> 00:02:46,720
Speaker 1: boots on the ground. You put boots on the ground,

34
00:02:47,080 --> 00:02:52,360
Speaker 1: I'm telling you, the midterms are over. The American people

35
00:02:52,960 --> 00:02:57,240
Speaker 1: have no appetite for any kind of a land war

36
00:02:57,639 --> 00:03:04,200
Speaker 1: in Iran, even a limited special operations a ground campaign.

37
00:03:04,960 --> 00:03:09,160
Speaker 1: They don't want to see US forces land on the

38
00:03:09,240 --> 00:03:14,840
Speaker 1: ground and be killed or slaughtered. This is our red line.

39
00:03:15,320 --> 00:03:18,600
Speaker 1: It's the red line of Congress. It's the red line

40
00:03:18,720 --> 00:03:22,440
Speaker 1: of the American people. And if you're gonna do this

41
00:03:22,800 --> 00:03:28,000
Speaker 1: very high risk, very dangerous operation, at a bare minimum,

42
00:03:28,520 --> 00:03:34,639
Speaker 1: you need the approval and authorization of Congress. Otherwise this

43
00:03:34,800 --> 00:03:39,000
Speaker 1: operation can go sideways quickly, and it may be the

44
00:03:39,160 --> 00:03:45,080
Speaker 1: end of your presidency. No US boots on the ground.

45
00:03:46,200 --> 00:03:50,440
Speaker 1: It is the country's red line, mister President. You cross

46
00:03:50,520 --> 00:03:51,840
Speaker 1: it at your peril.
