1 00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:03,920 Speaker 1: Okay, let me throw this very quick log on the fire. 2 00:00:05,600 --> 00:00:09,360 Speaker 1: What do you make of that incident yesterday on Capitol Hill? 3 00:00:09,400 --> 00:00:11,920 Speaker 1: Everybody's talking about it. I did want to talk about it, 4 00:00:11,960 --> 00:00:15,120 Speaker 1: so I'm happy that we had a Scott and Newton 5 00:00:15,960 --> 00:00:17,720 Speaker 1: raised it, you know, before I could even you know, 6 00:00:18,160 --> 00:00:22,119 Speaker 1: raise it myself. But here you had a marine decorated, 7 00:00:22,160 --> 00:00:24,520 Speaker 1: came with all his medals and everything in his uniform 8 00:00:25,239 --> 00:00:30,560 Speaker 1: and he interrupts the Senate Armed Services Committee, hearing yelling, shouting, screaming. Basically, 9 00:00:30,600 --> 00:00:32,879 Speaker 1: his message was this is a war on behalf of 10 00:00:32,960 --> 00:00:36,920 Speaker 1: Israel for Israel, to the benefit of Israel, and that 11 00:00:37,080 --> 00:00:40,000 Speaker 1: he says that Americans should not be dying for Israel. 12 00:00:41,080 --> 00:00:45,959 Speaker 1: And he's yelling, shouting, screaming. He interrupted. He clearly disrupted 13 00:00:46,000 --> 00:00:49,040 Speaker 1: the meeting. He was told to leave, he refused to leave. 14 00:00:49,760 --> 00:00:53,040 Speaker 1: It took three Capitol Hill police officers to try to 15 00:00:53,080 --> 00:00:57,120 Speaker 1: remove them. He was resisting them. It got into a fight. 16 00:00:58,200 --> 00:00:59,880 Speaker 1: You should see the video. I mean, there's you know, 17 00:01:00,240 --> 00:01:03,520 Speaker 1: a chair is flying, everybody's getting up. They're like, oh 18 00:01:03,560 --> 00:01:07,039 Speaker 1: my god, what's going on here? And they're really having 19 00:01:07,080 --> 00:01:10,959 Speaker 1: a tough time removing this marine because he's one tough son. 20 00:01:10,959 --> 00:01:12,920 Speaker 1: Of a gun. He's a marine man. You know, you 21 00:01:12,959 --> 00:01:17,560 Speaker 1: don't mess with these guys. And so Senator Tim Sheehey, Montana, Republican, 22 00:01:17,640 --> 00:01:20,840 Speaker 1: former Navy seal, another tough guy. You don't mess with 23 00:01:20,880 --> 00:01:23,640 Speaker 1: the Navy seals either, you know, another tough son of 24 00:01:23,680 --> 00:01:27,720 Speaker 1: a gun. He rushes over in his suit. He's in 25 00:01:27,720 --> 00:01:29,360 Speaker 1: the blue suit. You can see in the blue suit, 26 00:01:29,959 --> 00:01:33,360 Speaker 1: and he's helping the Capitol police officers remove the marine. 27 00:01:34,760 --> 00:01:36,440 Speaker 1: And so you got four of them and it's like 28 00:01:36,480 --> 00:01:40,679 Speaker 1: a tussle going on, and you know, this stubborn marine 29 00:01:40,959 --> 00:01:44,240 Speaker 1: then puts his arm almost like his elbow, you know, 30 00:01:44,280 --> 00:01:47,680 Speaker 1: the point of his elbow on the door, and it's like, 31 00:01:47,720 --> 00:01:49,520 Speaker 1: you know, no, I'm not, like, you're not getting me 32 00:01:49,520 --> 00:01:52,600 Speaker 1: out of here. And they're yanking them and yanking them 33 00:01:52,640 --> 00:01:55,880 Speaker 1: and yanking them. And then eventually you just hear as 34 00:01:55,880 --> 00:01:59,520 Speaker 1: I said, you know, I mean, you hear a bone 35 00:01:59,600 --> 00:02:03,520 Speaker 1: break and there's like a gasp, like all my everyone's 36 00:02:03,560 --> 00:02:06,400 Speaker 1: like shocked. And of course now this marine is like, 37 00:02:06,440 --> 00:02:08,960 Speaker 1: you know, you know, in pain, and that's when they 38 00:02:09,000 --> 00:02:11,240 Speaker 1: finally yank him out, so you know, his arm was broken. 39 00:02:12,320 --> 00:02:16,360 Speaker 1: Now obviously, now now the marine is in the hospital, 40 00:02:16,520 --> 00:02:20,119 Speaker 1: they've treated him. He's got a broken arm, apparently. Now 41 00:02:20,160 --> 00:02:25,000 Speaker 1: he's been charged three counts of obstructing the an official 42 00:02:25,240 --> 00:02:29,760 Speaker 1: proceeding on Capitol Hill, three counts of assaulting police officers, 43 00:02:30,160 --> 00:02:34,080 Speaker 1: three counts of resisting arrest. So they're gonna throw the 44 00:02:34,080 --> 00:02:39,280 Speaker 1: book at this guy. She he is now being praised 45 00:02:39,320 --> 00:02:42,480 Speaker 1: as a hero, saying, you know, he helped the Capitol 46 00:02:42,520 --> 00:02:45,960 Speaker 1: police out. That's what Navy seals do. Once a Navy seal, 47 00:02:46,080 --> 00:02:49,320 Speaker 1: always a Navy seal. Now you may disagree with me, 48 00:02:49,440 --> 00:02:53,560 Speaker 1: I'm just again, I'm just giving you my brutally honest opinion. Look, 49 00:02:54,080 --> 00:02:59,400 Speaker 1: the marine has earned the right to say his peace. Okay, 50 00:02:59,520 --> 00:03:02,320 Speaker 1: whatever he's you know, whatever he believes, that's his right. 51 00:03:03,040 --> 00:03:05,280 Speaker 1: He fought for our country. He put his life on 52 00:03:05,320 --> 00:03:08,600 Speaker 1: the line for our country. If he's against this war, 53 00:03:08,800 --> 00:03:12,360 Speaker 1: and for whatever reasons he's against this war, he has 54 00:03:12,520 --> 00:03:17,360 Speaker 1: the right to express himself into his opinion. He doesn't 55 00:03:17,400 --> 00:03:23,639 Speaker 1: have the right to interrupt a committee in Congress. He 56 00:03:23,680 --> 00:03:27,480 Speaker 1: doesn't have the right to disrupt the Armed Services Committee. Okay, 57 00:03:27,560 --> 00:03:33,520 Speaker 1: that's number one. Number two, I believe it's against the 58 00:03:33,600 --> 00:03:36,480 Speaker 1: rules of the Marine Corps. Correct me if I'm wrong 59 00:03:37,640 --> 00:03:40,920 Speaker 1: to use your uniform to be dressed in full uniform 60 00:03:41,880 --> 00:03:47,120 Speaker 1: and then make a political statement or try to advocate 61 00:03:47,160 --> 00:03:52,040 Speaker 1: for a political cause. To me, that's the misuse of 62 00:03:52,080 --> 00:03:55,440 Speaker 1: wearing your uniform, and so I believe he was wrong 63 00:03:55,560 --> 00:03:59,840 Speaker 1: on that count as well. Never mind, Look, you're into 64 00:04:00,120 --> 00:04:03,720 Speaker 1: upting an official proceeding of Congress, and now you're what 65 00:04:03,760 --> 00:04:07,880 Speaker 1: you're fighting with the police. I mean, that's that's assaulting 66 00:04:07,880 --> 00:04:10,680 Speaker 1: an officer, that's resisting arrest. I mean, come on, you 67 00:04:10,720 --> 00:04:13,960 Speaker 1: know that's that's shameful. But I got to say this. 68 00:04:14,920 --> 00:04:18,200 Speaker 1: You know, I'm sorry, but I gotta be fair. I 69 00:04:18,200 --> 00:04:22,520 Speaker 1: don't know if I'm comfortable with a senator rushing in 70 00:04:24,000 --> 00:04:27,800 Speaker 1: and taking out a marine and helping to break the 71 00:04:27,839 --> 00:04:30,159 Speaker 1: guy's arm. I mean, I know the marine is at fault, 72 00:04:30,160 --> 00:04:32,200 Speaker 1: he's the one holding the door, don't get me wrong, 73 00:04:32,720 --> 00:04:34,760 Speaker 1: but I'm like looking at this and I'm like, I 74 00:04:34,800 --> 00:04:37,920 Speaker 1: don't know if I want don't let me put this way. 75 00:04:38,120 --> 00:04:46,240 Speaker 1: The image of a decorated marine decrying the war and 76 00:04:46,279 --> 00:04:51,480 Speaker 1: then a former Navy seal and a US senator helping 77 00:04:52,080 --> 00:04:55,279 Speaker 1: to drag him out and in the process his arm 78 00:04:55,360 --> 00:05:00,040 Speaker 1: gets broken. When I saw that, I'm like, I I 79 00:05:00,040 --> 00:05:03,200 Speaker 1: don't like where this is going. I don't like it 80 00:05:04,200 --> 00:05:09,920 Speaker 1: because now it's Vet versus Vet. She he versus this guy, 81 00:05:09,960 --> 00:05:16,360 Speaker 1: Brian McGinnis, Navy seal versus marine. Arms are being broken. 82 00:05:16,800 --> 00:05:21,080 Speaker 1: We're physically now fighting with each other. And do we 83 00:05:21,160 --> 00:05:26,719 Speaker 1: really want the precedent of senators getting physically involved or 84 00:05:26,760 --> 00:05:35,920 Speaker 1: in physical alterations. Oh was forgiving physical altercations with you know, protesters. 85 00:05:36,440 --> 00:05:40,599 Speaker 1: Now I understand he was resisting arrest. I understand he 86 00:05:40,680 --> 00:05:44,279 Speaker 1: was fighting with the Capitol Hill police officers. I understand 87 00:05:44,279 --> 00:05:46,000 Speaker 1: that the three of them were having a very hard 88 00:05:46,000 --> 00:05:49,479 Speaker 1: time trying to subdue him. I get it. He was 89 00:05:49,520 --> 00:05:51,679 Speaker 1: just trying to be a good Samaritan and help the police. 90 00:05:51,760 --> 00:05:54,159 Speaker 1: I get all that. But I'm looking at this and 91 00:05:54,200 --> 00:05:57,839 Speaker 1: how much money do we spend on security on Capitol Hill? 92 00:05:57,960 --> 00:06:01,279 Speaker 1: So if three can't take him out, get four, get five, 93 00:06:01,400 --> 00:06:04,680 Speaker 1: get six, why should a senator have to be forced 94 00:06:04,720 --> 00:06:08,720 Speaker 1: to do this? And was it wise on the part 95 00:06:08,720 --> 00:06:11,080 Speaker 1: of the senator to do it. I don't like the 96 00:06:11,120 --> 00:06:17,279 Speaker 1: precedent of this. I think it diminishes the Senate. I 97 00:06:17,320 --> 00:06:20,279 Speaker 1: think it coursens the Senate. And I don't want to 98 00:06:20,320 --> 00:06:24,880 Speaker 1: turn senators now into cage fighters. So I'm looking at this, 99 00:06:25,000 --> 00:06:28,080 Speaker 1: and on the one end, I'm impressed with Che's bravery 100 00:06:28,760 --> 00:06:33,320 Speaker 1: and his toughness because honestly he was I'm being brutal. 101 00:06:33,520 --> 00:06:36,160 Speaker 1: He was tougher it than the three Capitol Hill police officers. 102 00:06:37,120 --> 00:06:40,479 Speaker 1: I mean just physically. He's bigger, stronger, he's in better 103 00:06:40,520 --> 00:06:45,679 Speaker 1: shape and man when he when he came, they started 104 00:06:45,720 --> 00:06:49,680 Speaker 1: to man handle that marine. In other words, you can like, 105 00:06:49,800 --> 00:06:53,360 Speaker 1: this guy is still in great shape. But do we 106 00:06:53,480 --> 00:06:56,919 Speaker 1: really want this where now we're going to have what 107 00:06:57,120 --> 00:07:00,480 Speaker 1: senators now, you know fighting with proton, yes there is, 108 00:07:00,520 --> 00:07:03,800 Speaker 1: and jostling and wrestling and you know, breaking arms and 109 00:07:03,839 --> 00:07:04,640 Speaker 1: throwing them out. 110 00:07:06,440 --> 00:07:06,560 Speaker 2: Uh. 111 00:07:07,560 --> 00:07:10,080 Speaker 1: Again, I look at this and I say, look how 112 00:07:10,120 --> 00:07:16,680 Speaker 1: badly divided this country is and now more violence. Ken 113 00:07:16,920 --> 00:07:21,120 Speaker 1: in New Hampshire, Thanks for holding Ken, and welcome. 114 00:07:23,200 --> 00:07:27,360 Speaker 3: Good morning, Jeff. I can seems like we're drinking from 115 00:07:27,360 --> 00:07:30,080 Speaker 3: a fire hose all the news of that these days. 116 00:07:30,080 --> 00:07:35,120 Speaker 1: Oh, never a dull moment, I Ken, I don't. 117 00:07:35,160 --> 00:07:37,480 Speaker 3: Say the least all right, So how did we get here? 118 00:07:39,720 --> 00:07:43,520 Speaker 3: Because I don't think we're taking sides in the conservative 119 00:07:44,000 --> 00:07:48,680 Speaker 3: of you know, America for ours, no foreign wars versus 120 00:07:48,840 --> 00:07:50,480 Speaker 3: you know, we've got a big problem we've got to 121 00:07:50,480 --> 00:07:52,680 Speaker 3: handle and people are different approaches. So how did we 122 00:07:52,720 --> 00:07:55,120 Speaker 3: get you? I don't think we're thinking of to the 123 00:07:55,200 --> 00:07:59,120 Speaker 3: extent of I think w was a worst president. Clip 124 00:08:00,160 --> 00:08:02,800 Speaker 3: One thing he said twenty plus years ago that was 125 00:08:03,000 --> 00:08:09,040 Speaker 3: absolutely true. We were dealing with an access of evil. 126 00:08:10,160 --> 00:08:15,920 Speaker 3: Now he happened to call out at that time Iran, Russia, 127 00:08:16,440 --> 00:08:20,480 Speaker 3: and North Korea. Well, North Korea really was an adjunct 128 00:08:20,520 --> 00:08:24,119 Speaker 3: of China. We just weren't as we didn't see China 129 00:08:24,160 --> 00:08:27,600 Speaker 3: as quite the enemy then as we do now since 130 00:08:27,600 --> 00:08:31,160 Speaker 3: they've got Gee, but let's be serious. Yes, there's an 131 00:08:31,160 --> 00:08:36,559 Speaker 3: access of evil and they're senior members. They are Russia, China, Iran, 132 00:08:36,679 --> 00:08:44,319 Speaker 3: and they're junior members North Korea, Cuba. Venezuela, Oh gee, 133 00:08:44,320 --> 00:08:48,800 Speaker 3: what happened Jeff to Venezuela. Yeah, that's the beginning really 134 00:08:49,440 --> 00:08:54,120 Speaker 3: the recent story here, because I think what we have 135 00:08:54,320 --> 00:08:57,280 Speaker 3: is a very special president that's unlike anything we're ever 136 00:08:57,320 --> 00:08:59,600 Speaker 3: going to have, and we need to take advantage of it. 137 00:09:00,040 --> 00:09:01,960 Speaker 3: So he saw the picture and says, you know what, 138 00:09:03,000 --> 00:09:05,079 Speaker 3: this is just going to go on forever, way past 139 00:09:05,120 --> 00:09:08,840 Speaker 3: the time I'm president. We need to start. So, you know, 140 00:09:09,120 --> 00:09:11,480 Speaker 3: he negotiated with Russia as best he could to pull 141 00:09:11,520 --> 00:09:15,280 Speaker 3: out of Ukraine. You know, that was one in transigent 142 00:09:15,640 --> 00:09:19,640 Speaker 3: access of evil. And then he went on to Venezuela 143 00:09:19,679 --> 00:09:22,600 Speaker 3: and they weren't listening to him, and that he did 144 00:09:22,600 --> 00:09:26,000 Speaker 3: what he had to do. Well, that's good. We knocked 145 00:09:26,000 --> 00:09:30,200 Speaker 3: out one of the access of junior member. Uh, and 146 00:09:30,280 --> 00:09:34,320 Speaker 3: that's creating problems for who oh, Russia, all the other 147 00:09:34,400 --> 00:09:38,480 Speaker 3: accesses of evil. And then okay, let's move on to 148 00:09:38,520 --> 00:09:41,200 Speaker 3: the next one, the other, the big one or one 149 00:09:41,240 --> 00:09:44,960 Speaker 3: of the big ones, Iran, who has always been our 150 00:09:45,080 --> 00:09:49,480 Speaker 3: enemy the last forty seven years. Gee, they yelled death 151 00:09:49,520 --> 00:09:53,560 Speaker 3: to America. Death is new Jeez? Do you think they mean? Yeah, 152 00:09:54,040 --> 00:09:57,600 Speaker 3: and you try to knock sense him last June by 153 00:09:57,760 --> 00:10:02,160 Speaker 3: taking out much of their capacity for a nuclear weapon. 154 00:10:02,480 --> 00:10:07,800 Speaker 3: And did they get the methods? No? Yeah, So I'm 155 00:10:07,880 --> 00:10:12,880 Speaker 3: listening to the wit Cough interview yesterday. Well yeah, he 156 00:10:13,679 --> 00:10:16,959 Speaker 3: described it like, yeah, that's probably is exactly what happened. 157 00:10:17,880 --> 00:10:21,120 Speaker 3: And okay, you put yourself in the president's shoes. It's like, 158 00:10:22,400 --> 00:10:26,800 Speaker 3: they probably can't produce eleven nuclear weapons? But am I 159 00:10:26,840 --> 00:10:29,679 Speaker 3: going to take the chance? Yeah? What's history gonna think 160 00:10:29,679 --> 00:10:34,200 Speaker 3: of me if I ignored that threat? So they came 161 00:10:34,280 --> 00:10:37,360 Speaker 3: up with a great plan, which is what they had 162 00:10:37,440 --> 00:10:41,360 Speaker 3: to do given the circumstances. This is a cost benefit 163 00:10:41,480 --> 00:10:48,240 Speaker 3: analysis deal, and the cost of letting things continue as 164 00:10:48,280 --> 00:10:52,520 Speaker 3: they were was way too high compared to the benefit 165 00:10:52,679 --> 00:10:57,760 Speaker 3: of dealing with reality. And the reality right now is 166 00:10:58,080 --> 00:11:03,640 Speaker 3: the Maulas have to go, and whatever replaces them has 167 00:11:03,720 --> 00:11:08,120 Speaker 3: to be friendly to us, friendly to Israel, friendly to 168 00:11:08,160 --> 00:11:12,400 Speaker 3: their neighbors. Why weren't they until last Saturday? They weren't 169 00:11:12,520 --> 00:11:16,720 Speaker 3: friendly with them because they're a bunch of Islamic pumps. 170 00:11:17,200 --> 00:11:19,679 Speaker 3: And the pumps got their come up and it was 171 00:11:19,720 --> 00:11:23,440 Speaker 3: about time. And now we just see it play out. Now, 172 00:11:24,040 --> 00:11:25,840 Speaker 3: is it going to turn out just the way we'd 173 00:11:25,840 --> 00:11:28,920 Speaker 3: like to see? We don't have anybody. I shouldn't all No, 174 00:11:29,080 --> 00:11:31,840 Speaker 3: I don't want any votes. But we're hearing about the 175 00:11:31,880 --> 00:11:35,320 Speaker 3: Kurds not well, yeah, there's an alliance between the Northern 176 00:11:35,559 --> 00:11:40,640 Speaker 3: Iraq Kurds and the Northern Iran Kurds, who tended to 177 00:11:40,760 --> 00:11:44,120 Speaker 3: be worn with each other, but now they're coming together. Well, 178 00:11:44,720 --> 00:11:47,559 Speaker 3: something may play out good here in the bottom ie. 179 00:11:47,600 --> 00:11:54,480 Speaker 3: Remember what we want is no more of this punk 180 00:11:54,600 --> 00:11:58,520 Speaker 3: terrorism crap going all over the world, including threatening the 181 00:11:58,559 --> 00:12:03,160 Speaker 3: president twice. With his life that's over. I so think 182 00:12:03,440 --> 00:12:06,600 Speaker 3: the President and all his administration, all they've done this 183 00:12:06,679 --> 00:12:08,760 Speaker 3: past week, I wish the best for them. 184 00:12:09,520 --> 00:12:12,800 Speaker 1: Thank you well, you know, Ken, you made a lot 185 00:12:12,800 --> 00:12:15,600 Speaker 1: of points, obviously, and and thank you very much for 186 00:12:15,640 --> 00:12:18,840 Speaker 1: that call. One of the things we haven't really discussed 187 00:12:18,840 --> 00:12:20,480 Speaker 1: and you just mentioned, and I think it's a very 188 00:12:20,480 --> 00:12:24,040 Speaker 1: important point, is Trump was asked, you know, he gave 189 00:12:24,120 --> 00:12:28,960 Speaker 1: multiple reasons for why he's doing this, destroy their ballistic 190 00:12:29,000 --> 00:12:33,839 Speaker 1: missile capabilities, finally wipe out their nuclear program once and 191 00:12:33,840 --> 00:12:37,640 Speaker 1: for all, and the threat that they post to their neighbors, 192 00:12:37,679 --> 00:12:41,240 Speaker 1: and funding terrorism all around the world. So you know, 193 00:12:41,280 --> 00:12:44,720 Speaker 1: he gave, you know, many reasons. But he also said 194 00:12:44,760 --> 00:12:48,559 Speaker 1: something else. He said that the Aya Tola, the one 195 00:12:48,600 --> 00:12:51,840 Speaker 1: that just got killed, how many that he tried to 196 00:12:52,000 --> 00:12:56,720 Speaker 1: kill Trump or assassinate Trump twice, and so Trump said 197 00:12:56,880 --> 00:13:00,200 Speaker 1: I got him before he got me, or before he 198 00:13:00,240 --> 00:13:04,160 Speaker 1: could get me. Now, I thought that was very fascinating 199 00:13:04,840 --> 00:13:08,400 Speaker 1: because Trump is also saying, well, they were trying to 200 00:13:08,400 --> 00:13:14,360 Speaker 1: eliminate me, so I eliminated them. And heg Seth in 201 00:13:14,360 --> 00:13:18,960 Speaker 1: one of his speeches said basically it was revenge or retribution, 202 00:13:19,160 --> 00:13:21,959 Speaker 1: is the way he put it. They try to assassinate 203 00:13:22,000 --> 00:13:25,760 Speaker 1: our president, and you know what, we now paid him 204 00:13:25,760 --> 00:13:28,920 Speaker 1: back and now their guy is dead. Our guy is 205 00:13:28,960 --> 00:13:33,880 Speaker 1: still alive. Now, what I really want to know is 206 00:13:35,360 --> 00:13:37,880 Speaker 1: and I'm not saying the president is lying or heg 207 00:13:37,880 --> 00:13:40,680 Speaker 1: Seth is lying. I'm not, But I think we, the 208 00:13:40,720 --> 00:13:43,520 Speaker 1: American people, deserve an answer on this because I look, 209 00:13:43,559 --> 00:13:48,520 Speaker 1: I want transparency. I want to know what do they 210 00:13:48,679 --> 00:13:55,160 Speaker 1: know that we don't know? Where is the evidence and 211 00:13:55,200 --> 00:13:58,240 Speaker 1: the reason why I'm asking this, where is the evidence 212 00:13:58,920 --> 00:14:03,400 Speaker 1: that the AYA told and the Iranian leadership was directly 213 00:14:03,480 --> 00:14:08,400 Speaker 1: responsible for plotting not one, but two assassination attempts on 214 00:14:08,480 --> 00:14:13,280 Speaker 1: the President of the United States, And in particular, this 215 00:14:13,400 --> 00:14:17,760 Speaker 1: is why I'm raising this was Butler an Iranian job? 216 00:14:18,960 --> 00:14:21,000 Speaker 1: What happened in Butler? Is that what they're referring to 217 00:14:21,040 --> 00:14:24,880 Speaker 1: when they say two assassination attempts? Like to be honest, 218 00:14:24,880 --> 00:14:27,760 Speaker 1: I like what I mean, like, well, what two assassination attempts? 219 00:14:28,040 --> 00:14:30,680 Speaker 1: Are there two that were not that we haven't been told? 220 00:14:32,000 --> 00:14:35,760 Speaker 1: Or are you talking about what happened in Butler, Pennsylvania 221 00:14:36,720 --> 00:14:38,920 Speaker 1: where you know he came within a millimeter of losing 222 00:14:38,960 --> 00:14:42,200 Speaker 1: his life or the follow up one the one at 223 00:14:42,200 --> 00:14:44,880 Speaker 1: the golf course where you know, he shot at him 224 00:14:44,880 --> 00:14:46,920 Speaker 1: in the golf course, and thank the Lord, the Secret 225 00:14:46,960 --> 00:14:50,280 Speaker 1: Service managed to stop him and arrest him. So were 226 00:14:50,280 --> 00:14:57,120 Speaker 1: the Iranians behind those two assassination attempts? Because I'm not aware, 227 00:14:57,600 --> 00:14:59,760 Speaker 1: I'm not saying the President is lying. What I'm trying 228 00:14:59,760 --> 00:15:03,280 Speaker 1: to say is my understanding of everything I've read about 229 00:15:03,320 --> 00:15:11,760 Speaker 1: Butler was there was compromise within the FBI, the Secret 230 00:15:11,840 --> 00:15:18,640 Speaker 1: Service was compromised, and that the shooter was a radical leftist. 231 00:15:20,400 --> 00:15:24,760 Speaker 1: Now I'd never heard that the Iranians were behind this operation. 232 00:15:25,880 --> 00:15:28,800 Speaker 1: Were they? Is that what they're saying? Could you clarify 233 00:15:28,840 --> 00:15:34,440 Speaker 1: this which two assassination attempts and in particular was Butler 234 00:15:34,560 --> 00:15:38,520 Speaker 1: one of those? And if that is the case, please 235 00:15:38,560 --> 00:15:43,280 Speaker 1: can you show me the evidence now? Why? Because this 236 00:15:43,440 --> 00:15:50,400 Speaker 1: changes again everything. To attempt to kill the President of 237 00:15:50,440 --> 00:15:57,680 Speaker 1: the United States is an international war crime. And if 238 00:15:57,720 --> 00:16:03,600 Speaker 1: we have the evidence that the Ayatola specifically ordered a 239 00:16:03,840 --> 00:16:09,640 Speaker 1: hit on Trump via Butler, I would take this right 240 00:16:09,680 --> 00:16:11,720 Speaker 1: away to the American people. I would take it to 241 00:16:11,760 --> 00:16:15,360 Speaker 1: the United Nations. I mean, I would say, look, I 242 00:16:15,480 --> 00:16:18,760 Speaker 1: want an international coalition behind us on this war in Iran. 243 00:16:19,320 --> 00:16:21,320 Speaker 1: And I would go to the American people and you know, 244 00:16:21,400 --> 00:16:25,080 Speaker 1: literally say, look, they tried to have me. You know, 245 00:16:25,160 --> 00:16:27,840 Speaker 1: they tried to blow my brains out in Butler, Pennsylvania. 246 00:16:29,360 --> 00:16:32,960 Speaker 1: Now that's a declaration of war. I don't know what 247 00:16:33,000 --> 00:16:38,200 Speaker 1: else to tell you. They wanted me dead, and they 248 00:16:38,240 --> 00:16:41,800 Speaker 1: came within a millimeter of pulling it off. You've got 249 00:16:41,800 --> 00:16:44,200 Speaker 1: eighty you know, the country would rally around Trump. You 250 00:16:44,240 --> 00:16:47,680 Speaker 1: would get an immediate declaration of war. So what I'm 251 00:16:47,680 --> 00:16:50,560 Speaker 1: trying to say is, if they really did try an 252 00:16:50,560 --> 00:16:56,000 Speaker 1: assassination attempt, please declassify that material, show us the evidence, 253 00:16:56,760 --> 00:17:02,280 Speaker 1: because I think the American people deserve to know. Sixty eight. 254 00:17:02,400 --> 00:17:07,639 Speaker 1: Sixty eight is the number. Brooks in Florida. Thanks for 255 00:17:07,760 --> 00:17:10,040 Speaker 1: holding Brooks and welcome. 256 00:17:12,520 --> 00:17:14,320 Speaker 3: Jeff. Good morning, Hi Brooks. 257 00:17:14,960 --> 00:17:20,159 Speaker 2: Okay, So to answer your question, I think the one 258 00:17:20,200 --> 00:17:24,879 Speaker 2: of the assassination attempts that occurred was don't quote me 259 00:17:24,920 --> 00:17:27,560 Speaker 2: on this. I think it was twenty twenty two, possibly 260 00:17:27,640 --> 00:17:32,000 Speaker 2: twenty twenty three, after they stole the election. Trump was 261 00:17:32,080 --> 00:17:37,720 Speaker 2: playing golf. What happens, Jeff, Buzzy Buzzy goes in the air, 262 00:17:37,920 --> 00:17:42,280 Speaker 2: They look up, it's a drone, maybe from Iran. That 263 00:17:42,400 --> 00:17:45,240 Speaker 2: story kind of went puff in the air. We never 264 00:17:45,320 --> 00:17:49,040 Speaker 2: really got to the bottom of that, but I think 265 00:17:49,080 --> 00:17:52,159 Speaker 2: that might be something that comes to light. We'll see. 266 00:17:52,720 --> 00:17:55,639 Speaker 2: I you know, Jeff, the thing is that Trump is 267 00:17:56,280 --> 00:18:03,679 Speaker 2: after the Scotis defrauded him on the tariff. Something changed 268 00:18:03,720 --> 00:18:07,680 Speaker 2: with Trump. He's coming out like Rocky Balboa. He's swinging. 269 00:18:07,720 --> 00:18:12,000 Speaker 2: There's a golden light surrounding him right now. And you know, 270 00:18:12,240 --> 00:18:15,120 Speaker 2: talking about kind of like a turning a negative into 271 00:18:15,119 --> 00:18:20,760 Speaker 2: a positive. He immediately starts going into how okay the tariffs. 272 00:18:20,800 --> 00:18:22,439 Speaker 2: You guys want to play around with me on this. 273 00:18:22,960 --> 00:18:25,320 Speaker 2: I have a solution. I've already had it in place. 274 00:18:25,359 --> 00:18:29,120 Speaker 2: He immediately puts that into action. So you know, there's 275 00:18:29,160 --> 00:18:32,800 Speaker 2: there's something happening with him. God is giving him a 276 00:18:32,840 --> 00:18:36,080 Speaker 2: really good, you know, push of warm air on his 277 00:18:36,359 --> 00:18:40,960 Speaker 2: American bald eagle wings. You can feel it. The Iranians 278 00:18:41,000 --> 00:18:46,440 Speaker 2: are performing, you know, the YMCA dance. So isn't New York, 279 00:18:46,560 --> 00:18:50,320 Speaker 2: so is in La. There's something happening. It's it's it's almost, 280 00:18:50,800 --> 00:18:55,240 Speaker 2: you know, very cosmic. I don't think boots are going 281 00:18:55,320 --> 00:18:58,840 Speaker 2: to go on the ground. Larry from now Arkansas kind 282 00:18:58,840 --> 00:19:01,639 Speaker 2: of talked about a little bit about this yesterday and 283 00:19:01,920 --> 00:19:05,879 Speaker 2: he said something very very important. Nation building is different 284 00:19:05,880 --> 00:19:09,480 Speaker 2: from regime change. If Trump, you know, is able to 285 00:19:09,560 --> 00:19:13,200 Speaker 2: broke or and negotiate something with the Kurds, we'll see 286 00:19:13,200 --> 00:19:15,840 Speaker 2: what takes you know, what takes place with that. But 287 00:19:16,200 --> 00:19:18,680 Speaker 2: it's going to be negotiators in the ground, similar to 288 00:19:18,760 --> 00:19:21,240 Speaker 2: the Red Cross. Think of it like a crime scene. 289 00:19:21,520 --> 00:19:24,120 Speaker 2: You know, the police are going to make sure that 290 00:19:24,200 --> 00:19:27,199 Speaker 2: the crime scene is now safe for the detectives to 291 00:19:27,280 --> 00:19:29,480 Speaker 2: come in. So I don't think we're going to have 292 00:19:29,640 --> 00:19:32,280 Speaker 2: soldiers on the ground. I mean they'll be able to 293 00:19:32,480 --> 00:19:36,919 Speaker 2: defend whatever group we have that's going to represent the 294 00:19:37,000 --> 00:19:44,320 Speaker 2: Iranian people in a fair, fair capacity. The you know, 295 00:19:44,920 --> 00:19:48,399 Speaker 2: I think that the news today, for example, they have 296 00:19:48,520 --> 00:19:51,560 Speaker 2: this stadium, Okay, it's a soccer stadium or something. It 297 00:19:51,600 --> 00:19:57,600 Speaker 2: holds twelve thousand people. The Israelis struck it, and they're 298 00:19:57,640 --> 00:20:02,400 Speaker 2: saying that three thousand soldiers dead just from that strike alone. 299 00:20:02,720 --> 00:20:06,119 Speaker 2: So they're getting a lot of you know, epic epic 300 00:20:06,240 --> 00:20:10,399 Speaker 2: hits that we haven't had a navel strike like what 301 00:20:10,800 --> 00:20:13,440 Speaker 2: you know, how we sunk their their navy ships sitting 302 00:20:13,440 --> 00:20:15,200 Speaker 2: at the bottom of the ocean right now. We haven't 303 00:20:15,200 --> 00:20:18,640 Speaker 2: had anything like that. And you stated this in fifty years. 304 00:20:18,720 --> 00:20:22,480 Speaker 2: So there is there is so much positive things happening 305 00:20:23,680 --> 00:20:26,919 Speaker 2: in regards to whitcough and you know, claiming that the 306 00:20:27,400 --> 00:20:31,359 Speaker 2: uranium is there. They're probably going to discover this within 307 00:20:31,440 --> 00:20:35,199 Speaker 2: the first strike when we took out the in June, 308 00:20:35,240 --> 00:20:38,359 Speaker 2: when we you know, used the ballistic armament that we did, 309 00:20:39,040 --> 00:20:43,040 Speaker 2: and we took out their entire nuclear programs. So here's 310 00:20:43,080 --> 00:20:46,600 Speaker 2: my here's my gut on this. My visceral feeling is 311 00:20:46,600 --> 00:20:50,080 Speaker 2: that I don't think Trump and his administrators are going 312 00:20:50,200 --> 00:20:53,760 Speaker 2: to put things out there that the naysayers that the 313 00:20:53,880 --> 00:20:58,080 Speaker 2: lefties are going to immediately fact checked and claim as false. 314 00:20:58,119 --> 00:21:01,120 Speaker 2: I you know it. Let me put it this way. 315 00:21:01,880 --> 00:21:05,679 Speaker 2: When Colin Powell, you know, was asked to state that 316 00:21:05,760 --> 00:21:10,160 Speaker 2: Iraq had weapons of mass destruction, he was very uncomfortable 317 00:21:10,160 --> 00:21:12,399 Speaker 2: about doing that. It was a it was a huge 318 00:21:12,560 --> 00:21:16,800 Speaker 2: media hit. It was a complete failure. I don't think 319 00:21:16,840 --> 00:21:19,600 Speaker 2: Trump and this team is going to fall into that trap. 320 00:21:19,680 --> 00:21:22,680 Speaker 2: We'll see, Jeff, We'll see. But I guess the headline 321 00:21:22,720 --> 00:21:26,280 Speaker 2: the point is that there's so much positive things happening 322 00:21:26,320 --> 00:21:29,680 Speaker 2: with the takedown of these mills. They've been the the 323 00:21:29,720 --> 00:21:33,800 Speaker 2: bully of the entire Middle East for forty seven, forty nine, 324 00:21:33,880 --> 00:21:37,600 Speaker 2: call it fifty years. This is epic, this is incredible, 325 00:21:38,160 --> 00:21:39,240 Speaker 2: This is this. 326 00:21:39,200 --> 00:21:43,000 Speaker 1: Is watching history and no, look, Brooks, this is you're 327 00:21:43,000 --> 00:21:45,880 Speaker 1: you're completely right. Look, this is first of all, an 328 00:21:45,880 --> 00:21:51,520 Speaker 1: immaculate military campaign that has been so well planned and 329 00:21:51,640 --> 00:21:56,080 Speaker 1: so far knock on wood, so well executed. This is 330 00:21:56,119 --> 00:21:58,640 Speaker 1: going to be studied for decades to come. I think 331 00:21:58,640 --> 00:22:01,800 Speaker 1: there's no question. There's no question. And look, just to 332 00:22:01,800 --> 00:22:04,960 Speaker 1: give you just a side piece, the killing of the 333 00:22:05,520 --> 00:22:08,000 Speaker 1: bombing and the eventually, you know, the killing of the 334 00:22:08,040 --> 00:22:11,720 Speaker 1: Supreme the former the late Supreme Leader Ali Homni. It's 335 00:22:11,760 --> 00:22:13,200 Speaker 1: now coming out. I don't know if you've been reading 336 00:22:13,200 --> 00:22:17,320 Speaker 1: some of these accounts. It is fascinating. You know the expression, 337 00:22:17,359 --> 00:22:20,720 Speaker 1: you know, truth is stranger or whatever more interesting than fiction. 338 00:22:21,640 --> 00:22:24,320 Speaker 1: This reads like a Jean Lea Carey novel or a 339 00:22:24,320 --> 00:22:30,680 Speaker 1: Tom Clancy novel. So apparently Mosade had hacked the street 340 00:22:30,760 --> 00:22:36,560 Speaker 1: cameras in downtown Tehran right around the presidential palace and 341 00:22:36,920 --> 00:22:39,359 Speaker 1: you know, the key buildings that the Supreme Leader and 342 00:22:39,440 --> 00:22:43,000 Speaker 1: other top leaders of the Iranian regime would you know, 343 00:22:43,040 --> 00:22:46,200 Speaker 1: would go and would walk and would hang around. And 344 00:22:46,400 --> 00:22:49,480 Speaker 1: this was going on for years. And so what they 345 00:22:49,480 --> 00:22:52,639 Speaker 1: did was they just kept studying the video footage, and 346 00:22:52,760 --> 00:22:56,040 Speaker 1: after a while they began to say, oh look look, look, look, 347 00:22:56,280 --> 00:22:59,399 Speaker 1: here's the Ayatola. Here's the Ayatola. Now when does he 348 00:22:59,480 --> 00:23:03,399 Speaker 1: come again? Oh, look at this. Every three days or 349 00:23:03,440 --> 00:23:06,639 Speaker 1: every four days or whatever, and he comes. Oh, he 350 00:23:06,720 --> 00:23:10,959 Speaker 1: goes from this street to this sidewalk, up these stairs, 351 00:23:11,280 --> 00:23:15,919 Speaker 1: into this side door. All follow, follow, follow, follow into 352 00:23:16,080 --> 00:23:21,119 Speaker 1: that room. Now it took years to do this, and 353 00:23:21,200 --> 00:23:26,480 Speaker 1: I'm talking hundreds and hundreds of Israeli intelligence analysts combing. 354 00:23:27,480 --> 00:23:30,640 Speaker 1: I'm talking what is it, tens and tens of thousands 355 00:23:30,680 --> 00:23:35,240 Speaker 1: of hours of video footage and looking for patterns and 356 00:23:35,600 --> 00:23:38,399 Speaker 1: looking for it. And that's how they were able to 357 00:23:38,560 --> 00:23:42,399 Speaker 1: finally get him there. It was it was like like 358 00:23:42,480 --> 00:23:47,760 Speaker 1: Sherlock Holmes, but over many years. And you read this 359 00:23:47,920 --> 00:23:52,800 Speaker 1: and you go, first of all, the technology, the brilliance, 360 00:23:53,840 --> 00:24:01,119 Speaker 1: the patience, how painstaking this was. Ah, I mean, I 361 00:24:01,160 --> 00:24:04,280 Speaker 1: gotta tip my hat off really to Masad, to the 362 00:24:04,320 --> 00:24:07,480 Speaker 1: intelligence service. You just got to tip your hat off. 363 00:24:08,440 --> 00:24:10,359 Speaker 1: You look at you know, it's like, what happened? What 364 00:24:10,480 --> 00:24:13,320 Speaker 1: was it? When they blew up all the they decimated 365 00:24:13,359 --> 00:24:17,560 Speaker 1: Hamas's lead forgiving Hezbola's leadership when they blew up all 366 00:24:17,600 --> 00:24:21,639 Speaker 1: of their phones because they went to the Taiwan literally 367 00:24:21,680 --> 00:24:24,720 Speaker 1: to the factory in Taiwan and put in the chips 368 00:24:24,720 --> 00:24:28,960 Speaker 1: and the debt mats in the factory. So when they 369 00:24:29,080 --> 00:24:31,800 Speaker 1: ordered it, it already was already built in, and they 370 00:24:31,880 --> 00:24:35,720 Speaker 1: just waited for years until the time was right and 371 00:24:35,760 --> 00:24:39,800 Speaker 1: then boom, you know, they sent out one text. Everybody 372 00:24:39,840 --> 00:24:44,199 Speaker 1: got the text and bang. That's how they basically decapitated 373 00:24:44,400 --> 00:24:48,280 Speaker 1: Hesbola's leadership in Lebanon. So what I'm saying is you 374 00:24:48,440 --> 00:24:51,480 Speaker 1: look at this and you say, you just have to marvel. 375 00:24:53,119 --> 00:24:57,720 Speaker 1: They're the Israelis, and of course US, we are leagues 376 00:24:57,760 --> 00:25:01,359 Speaker 1: above the Iranians, and we're now starting to show in 377 00:25:01,440 --> 00:25:04,760 Speaker 1: terms of our military technology, we are now a level 378 00:25:04,920 --> 00:25:10,040 Speaker 1: above China and Russia. This is embarrassing to the Chinese 379 00:25:10,040 --> 00:25:14,119 Speaker 1: and the Russians because the Iranians, look, this was for 380 00:25:14,240 --> 00:25:17,960 Speaker 1: them a generator. I don't think people realize how much 381 00:25:18,280 --> 00:25:23,199 Speaker 1: money the Iranians have invested in their ballistic missiles, in 382 00:25:23,280 --> 00:25:28,720 Speaker 1: their air defenses, in their navy, in their stockpiles by 383 00:25:28,760 --> 00:25:33,000 Speaker 1: the way, and building these massive underground bunkers. That's what's 384 00:25:33,080 --> 00:25:35,960 Speaker 1: killing them now is they have all these huge under 385 00:25:35,960 --> 00:25:40,000 Speaker 1: which they thought was safe and full of these ballistic missiles. 386 00:25:40,920 --> 00:25:43,199 Speaker 1: So they figured, well, no, no, we're gonna I mean, 387 00:25:43,240 --> 00:25:46,400 Speaker 1: they've got hundreds and hundreds of thousands of ballistic missiles. 388 00:25:47,400 --> 00:25:51,840 Speaker 1: So they go, well, that's our insurance policy. Any you know, America, Israel, 389 00:25:51,960 --> 00:25:55,000 Speaker 1: anybody touches us, hey will bully our neighbors, will menace 390 00:25:55,000 --> 00:25:57,720 Speaker 1: our neighbors. But more than that, you attack us, we 391 00:25:57,800 --> 00:26:02,720 Speaker 1: are going to rain missiles on you. And now we've 392 00:26:02,720 --> 00:26:08,280 Speaker 1: got these bunker busters, and we're just destroying one underground 393 00:26:08,359 --> 00:26:14,440 Speaker 1: bunker after another, and it is obliterating their entire ballistic 394 00:26:14,480 --> 00:26:19,760 Speaker 1: missile stockpile. I meany and by the way, and they 395 00:26:19,800 --> 00:26:24,880 Speaker 1: had to starve their population to build this up. It 396 00:26:24,920 --> 00:26:28,520 Speaker 1: was a generational investment. Any money they had they threw 397 00:26:28,600 --> 00:26:32,960 Speaker 1: into the military into their technology. They were buying stuff 398 00:26:32,960 --> 00:26:35,680 Speaker 1: from the Chinese and the Russians, which they were told 399 00:26:35,680 --> 00:26:37,840 Speaker 1: with state of the art, which maybe I guess at 400 00:26:37,880 --> 00:26:41,480 Speaker 1: the time it was. But then we come along and 401 00:26:41,560 --> 00:26:45,479 Speaker 1: our stuff blows their stuff out of the water. So 402 00:26:45,880 --> 00:26:49,439 Speaker 1: you're completely right, Brooks. Look to me, the question is 403 00:26:49,480 --> 00:26:53,160 Speaker 1: not the military campaign, okay, it's incredible to me. It's 404 00:26:53,160 --> 00:26:56,719 Speaker 1: what you were talking about at the beginning. Because I 405 00:26:56,760 --> 00:26:59,199 Speaker 1: don't know. I like the idea of arming the Kurds. 406 00:27:00,160 --> 00:27:02,439 Speaker 1: I think that's very good. You want good boots on 407 00:27:02,480 --> 00:27:07,240 Speaker 1: the ground. The Kurds are ferocious fighters, excellent warriors. The 408 00:27:07,359 --> 00:27:10,440 Speaker 1: problem is, already you're getting a lot of blowback from 409 00:27:10,560 --> 00:27:15,080 Speaker 1: Persians within because the Kurds are non Persians. So within 410 00:27:15,119 --> 00:27:19,199 Speaker 1: the opposition in Iran, the Persian opposition says, no, no, no, no, 411 00:27:19,200 --> 00:27:22,119 Speaker 1: you're not gonna harm the Kurds. Well, you're talking about 412 00:27:22,320 --> 00:27:27,480 Speaker 1: we're gonna have non Persians a minority. We'ren a country 413 00:27:27,520 --> 00:27:33,399 Speaker 1: like Persia. Remember, the Persians are very proud, very nationalistic, 414 00:27:33,600 --> 00:27:39,200 Speaker 1: very patriotic. So already you know they have to how 415 00:27:39,200 --> 00:27:40,879 Speaker 1: do we do this. We got to bridge it with 416 00:27:40,920 --> 00:27:43,639 Speaker 1: the Kurds and the Persians and and and try to 417 00:27:43,680 --> 00:27:49,160 Speaker 1: put together this you know, sweeping counterinsurgency team or resistance movement. 418 00:27:49,880 --> 00:27:54,520 Speaker 1: So there's the problem is they look, here's that. In 419 00:27:54,600 --> 00:27:58,200 Speaker 1: Poland we had lec Valenza. I can give you other 420 00:27:58,520 --> 00:28:02,159 Speaker 1: in other words, in other places, there was one leader 421 00:28:02,880 --> 00:28:06,720 Speaker 1: that generally they're the consensus among the opposition was that's 422 00:28:06,760 --> 00:28:10,680 Speaker 1: our person, that's our guy. We don't have that any wrong. 423 00:28:12,119 --> 00:28:15,520 Speaker 1: We were hoping it was the Crown Prince. I like him, 424 00:28:15,800 --> 00:28:19,000 Speaker 1: I would vote for him, but you know, I'm not 425 00:28:19,040 --> 00:28:23,240 Speaker 1: an Iranian. Even in the opposition, they have bad memories 426 00:28:23,280 --> 00:28:26,200 Speaker 1: of the Shaw. They don't want to return for the monarchy. 427 00:28:26,680 --> 00:28:30,200 Speaker 1: There's a lot of resistance. He's seen as an American puppet. 428 00:28:30,600 --> 00:28:33,600 Speaker 1: The Persians don't want an American puppet. And I think 429 00:28:33,640 --> 00:28:38,480 Speaker 1: the other thing that Americans have to understand is Persia. 430 00:28:38,600 --> 00:28:46,280 Speaker 1: The Uranians have never had a democracy ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, 431 00:28:46,440 --> 00:28:51,480 Speaker 1: ever ever. Most of their history has been a monarchy. 432 00:28:51,520 --> 00:28:54,720 Speaker 1: And then you add these animals, these these Islamist animals 433 00:28:54,760 --> 00:28:59,520 Speaker 1: come to power. So it's, you know, this idea that 434 00:28:59,600 --> 00:29:02,880 Speaker 1: now we're to have this democracy just flower in Iran. 435 00:29:02,960 --> 00:29:07,960 Speaker 1: I'm like, we're being very unrealistic. What the Uranians want 436 00:29:08,840 --> 00:29:12,840 Speaker 1: is a stable government that is not going to repress 437 00:29:12,920 --> 00:29:17,720 Speaker 1: its people and be so brutal and medievil and primitive, 438 00:29:18,680 --> 00:29:22,520 Speaker 1: embarking on a nuclear program that could lead to a 439 00:29:22,640 --> 00:29:26,520 Speaker 1: nuclear war down the road and has turned their country 440 00:29:26,560 --> 00:29:31,440 Speaker 1: into a pariah. So I think the most reasonable, if 441 00:29:31,440 --> 00:29:33,960 Speaker 1: we're going to be reasonable, is there's going to be 442 00:29:34,000 --> 00:29:36,480 Speaker 1: some kind of a strong man that's going to emerge. 443 00:29:37,960 --> 00:29:41,560 Speaker 1: But that's okay. Many most countries around the world are 444 00:29:41,640 --> 00:29:44,640 Speaker 1: run by, you know, dictatorships. But will it be a 445 00:29:44,720 --> 00:29:50,760 Speaker 1: reasonable dictatorship, a moderate dictatorship, a semi competent dictatorship, a 446 00:29:50,840 --> 00:29:54,640 Speaker 1: dictatorship where they're not oppressing every aspect of your life, 447 00:29:55,480 --> 00:29:57,440 Speaker 1: where you know, if you don't wear a huge job, 448 00:29:57,480 --> 00:30:01,920 Speaker 1: you're gonna get shot in the face, or you know, 449 00:30:02,080 --> 00:30:07,440 Speaker 1: where you're run by these Mullahs and these clerics that 450 00:30:07,720 --> 00:30:10,440 Speaker 1: you know are literally trying to force your society to 451 00:30:10,480 --> 00:30:14,360 Speaker 1: live in the seventh century. So I think what we 452 00:30:14,480 --> 00:30:19,600 Speaker 1: have to understand is the Persians themselves are going to 453 00:30:19,680 --> 00:30:23,800 Speaker 1: have to decide, and right now they haven't decided. There's 454 00:30:23,880 --> 00:30:28,360 Speaker 1: no unity among the in the opposition. And I think 455 00:30:28,400 --> 00:30:31,800 Speaker 1: now it's a race against the clock. And so I 456 00:30:31,840 --> 00:30:34,680 Speaker 1: know for a fact that the CIA now is desperately 457 00:30:34,720 --> 00:30:37,760 Speaker 1: trying to arm groups and get them to agree and 458 00:30:37,800 --> 00:30:41,840 Speaker 1: come together. The problem is there's a lot of suspicion, 459 00:30:42,560 --> 00:30:46,080 Speaker 1: a lot of paranoia. They don't trust each other. And 460 00:30:46,200 --> 00:30:51,360 Speaker 1: remember they've been brutalized for fifty years, so there's a 461 00:30:51,360 --> 00:30:56,080 Speaker 1: lot of fear. And so that's why I've always worried 462 00:30:56,080 --> 00:31:00,040 Speaker 1: about the endgame, and we see and look again. I 463 00:31:00,040 --> 00:31:02,280 Speaker 1: don't want to repeat myself Brooks, but this is so key. 464 00:31:03,760 --> 00:31:08,480 Speaker 1: Israel and our interests are different. They're similar, but they're 465 00:31:08,480 --> 00:31:13,840 Speaker 1: different Israel Ultimately, Look, it's like a vase. All they 466 00:31:13,920 --> 00:31:16,520 Speaker 1: want to do is break it. It's not a criticism. 467 00:31:16,600 --> 00:31:19,800 Speaker 1: I'm just stating a fact Iran. The regime is an 468 00:31:19,800 --> 00:31:26,600 Speaker 1: existential threat. Popul them, depose them, take away their nuclear program, 469 00:31:26,960 --> 00:31:30,880 Speaker 1: set back their ballistic missiles, neoter, tear the guts out 470 00:31:30,880 --> 00:31:35,640 Speaker 1: of them. Hey after that, Hey, what do we care? 471 00:31:36,160 --> 00:31:36,360 Speaker 2: Hell? 472 00:31:36,800 --> 00:31:39,960 Speaker 1: They want to fight among themselves. The country starts to 473 00:31:40,000 --> 00:31:43,800 Speaker 1: fall apart, there's a vacuum, there's anarchy, maybe even a 474 00:31:43,800 --> 00:31:47,960 Speaker 1: civil war. Who cares? That's among them. Let the Islamist 475 00:31:48,000 --> 00:31:51,440 Speaker 1: slaughter each other. It's even better for us. I get 476 00:31:51,440 --> 00:31:54,440 Speaker 1: it from their point of view. I get it. We're different. 477 00:31:55,920 --> 00:31:59,240 Speaker 1: As Colin Powell famously said, once you break it, you 478 00:31:59,320 --> 00:32:03,479 Speaker 1: own it. You see, we have a different US is 479 00:32:03,640 --> 00:32:05,920 Speaker 1: you break the vase, you got to replace it with 480 00:32:05,960 --> 00:32:11,320 Speaker 1: a new vase. And that's why Trump said openly that's 481 00:32:11,400 --> 00:32:13,400 Speaker 1: one of the things I really admire about him. There's 482 00:32:13,400 --> 00:32:16,160 Speaker 1: no filter with him. He just tells you. You know, 483 00:32:16,160 --> 00:32:17,360 Speaker 1: it's like, well, why do he needs to be in 484 00:32:17,360 --> 00:32:20,800 Speaker 1: the cabinet? He tells you everything anyway, and so he 485 00:32:20,840 --> 00:32:23,960 Speaker 1: openly said, he goes, look, I've told my people, Yeah, 486 00:32:24,000 --> 00:32:27,920 Speaker 1: the military operation is going splendid. I love it. But 487 00:32:28,120 --> 00:32:31,160 Speaker 1: if we end up with somebody and we may he 488 00:32:31,240 --> 00:32:34,840 Speaker 1: said may, He said the word may, somebody who's in 489 00:32:34,880 --> 00:32:37,640 Speaker 1: some ways just as bad as the mullas well. He 490 00:32:37,680 --> 00:32:41,120 Speaker 1: goes to me, that's the worst case scenario, Like, I 491 00:32:41,120 --> 00:32:45,840 Speaker 1: don't want this to happen. And that's why privately, he said, 492 00:32:45,840 --> 00:32:48,640 Speaker 1: I've taken the biggest risk of my entire political career. 493 00:32:50,840 --> 00:32:54,320 Speaker 1: Trump is a gambler by nature. It's why he's a 494 00:32:54,400 --> 00:32:58,720 Speaker 1: very successful man. But the thing about gamblers is sometimes 495 00:32:58,720 --> 00:33:02,600 Speaker 1: they fail. Now what's great about Trump is he bounces back. 496 00:33:03,720 --> 00:33:06,040 Speaker 1: You know, he's been bankrupt several times, but he always 497 00:33:06,040 --> 00:33:11,080 Speaker 1: comes back. He's got that pluck, that initiative, that ambition 498 00:33:11,360 --> 00:33:16,320 Speaker 1: that as you mentioned Rocky Balboa, that stick toitiveness. But 499 00:33:16,720 --> 00:33:21,640 Speaker 1: this it's a high This is high risk and potentially 500 00:33:21,840 --> 00:33:26,000 Speaker 1: very high reward, but it could also turn into a disaster. 501 00:33:26,640 --> 00:33:33,040 Speaker 1: Not the military part, it's the post military. Trump wants 502 00:33:33,080 --> 00:33:37,720 Speaker 1: a vase that will replace the broken vase. Now, let 503 00:33:37,760 --> 00:33:41,680 Speaker 1: me tell you what may happen. And General Dan Kane 504 00:33:41,720 --> 00:33:44,440 Speaker 1: has prepared Trump for this. That's why Trump mentioned the 505 00:33:44,440 --> 00:33:47,240 Speaker 1: worst case scenario, because the military has to give you 506 00:33:47,280 --> 00:33:50,240 Speaker 1: the worst case scenario. Here is the worst case scenario. 507 00:33:50,760 --> 00:33:52,960 Speaker 1: I think there's even a worst case scenario than that. 508 00:33:53,120 --> 00:33:54,520 Speaker 1: But let me give you what they said is a 509 00:33:54,520 --> 00:33:59,560 Speaker 1: worst case scenario. The worst case scenario. And it may 510 00:33:59,600 --> 00:34:05,360 Speaker 1: come to this that you get a military strong man from 511 00:34:05,480 --> 00:34:11,799 Speaker 1: the IRGC, from the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps. You get 512 00:34:11,800 --> 00:34:18,160 Speaker 1: a real military, tough guy. He can keep everybody in line. 513 00:34:18,360 --> 00:34:21,520 Speaker 1: You won't have the country disintegrate. You won't have the 514 00:34:21,600 --> 00:34:25,960 Speaker 1: regime dissolve or the government dissolve. He will ensure stability. 515 00:34:27,000 --> 00:34:32,600 Speaker 1: But he will agree no nuclear program ever, no more 516 00:34:32,640 --> 00:34:37,840 Speaker 1: ballistic missiles ever. And we will not fund a single terrorist. 517 00:34:39,360 --> 00:34:43,560 Speaker 1: In other words, will not leave us alone. I will 518 00:34:43,640 --> 00:34:48,000 Speaker 1: run iron with an iron fist. But you're never going 519 00:34:48,080 --> 00:34:50,680 Speaker 1: to threaten anyone else in the region, or the United 520 00:34:50,719 --> 00:34:55,880 Speaker 1: States or or anybody ever again. Okay. In other words, 521 00:34:56,040 --> 00:34:58,799 Speaker 1: give me a free hand inside. I won't bother you 522 00:34:58,840 --> 00:35:03,480 Speaker 1: guys on the outside. Now, that's the worst case scenario, 523 00:35:04,880 --> 00:35:08,240 Speaker 1: and that according to General Kine and the Joint Chiefs 524 00:35:08,239 --> 00:35:13,279 Speaker 1: of Staff, that could happen. And that's why Trump said, 525 00:35:13,560 --> 00:35:16,880 Speaker 1: I don't want that to happen. So that's why what 526 00:35:17,000 --> 00:35:18,759 Speaker 1: I'm trying to it's not I'm trying to be a 527 00:35:18,760 --> 00:35:23,080 Speaker 1: Debbie Downer. I'm just explaining to everybody. These are the Literally, 528 00:35:23,160 --> 00:35:26,359 Speaker 1: this is what Rubio and Hegseth and Trump and JB. 529 00:35:26,560 --> 00:35:30,440 Speaker 1: Vance and and and General Kine and the Joint chiefs. 530 00:35:30,760 --> 00:35:33,839 Speaker 1: That's what they're discussing as you and I are speaking now. 531 00:35:35,480 --> 00:35:40,160 Speaker 1: The war is going great, better than expected. The question 532 00:35:40,320 --> 00:35:45,000 Speaker 1: now is handing off to baton what comes after the Mullus, 533 00:35:46,480 --> 00:35:50,080 Speaker 1: And that's everything, not for Israel. After that, Israel's out, 534 00:35:50,640 --> 00:35:55,600 Speaker 1: Israel doesn't care, but for us, because I want you 535 00:35:55,640 --> 00:35:58,160 Speaker 1: to just think about this. To me, this is the 536 00:35:58,239 --> 00:36:05,440 Speaker 1: worst case scenario. It's not this, it's it's Iraq. The 537 00:36:05,520 --> 00:36:09,440 Speaker 1: Mullas are gone, they're dissolved, they're crumbled, they're finished, they've collapsed, 538 00:36:10,560 --> 00:36:15,040 Speaker 1: but no one really takes power. And now you've got 539 00:36:15,040 --> 00:36:19,480 Speaker 1: street fighting in Tehran, you've got warlords, you've got factions. 540 00:36:20,120 --> 00:36:24,920 Speaker 1: The country begins to break apart, slowly, civil war. The 541 00:36:25,040 --> 00:36:28,200 Speaker 1: Kurds are arming to protect themselves. The Aziris are arming 542 00:36:28,239 --> 00:36:33,000 Speaker 1: to protect themselves. The Persians are fighting among themselves, different 543 00:36:33,040 --> 00:36:37,759 Speaker 1: factions now ally with different groups. You've got refugees now 544 00:36:37,760 --> 00:36:42,000 Speaker 1: by the millions, pouring across the region, pouring across borders, 545 00:36:42,239 --> 00:36:44,920 Speaker 1: pouring across Europe. The outcry is going to be for 546 00:36:45,040 --> 00:36:48,640 Speaker 1: us to take some of them in. Iran's oil is 547 00:36:48,680 --> 00:36:52,080 Speaker 1: gone because you can't pump oil. There's no stability, there's anarchy, 548 00:36:53,160 --> 00:36:58,520 Speaker 1: the government, the police basically evaporate. That's the worst to me, 549 00:36:58,840 --> 00:37:03,280 Speaker 1: the worst case scenario. If that happens. I'm not saying 550 00:37:03,320 --> 00:37:06,359 Speaker 1: it will, but you have to it's war. You have 551 00:37:06,400 --> 00:37:10,759 Speaker 1: to plan for everything. If that happens, I'm telling you 552 00:37:10,800 --> 00:37:15,040 Speaker 1: Trump's presidency is in big trouble. He's going to get 553 00:37:15,080 --> 00:37:19,440 Speaker 1: destroyed in the midterms because I know the American people, 554 00:37:20,520 --> 00:37:23,840 Speaker 1: They're gonna look at that, look at those images. It's 555 00:37:23,920 --> 00:37:27,240 Speaker 1: going to do to Trump what he rock did to Bush. 556 00:37:27,400 --> 00:37:30,080 Speaker 1: So I know the arguments about nation building, I know 557 00:37:30,160 --> 00:37:33,239 Speaker 1: the arguments about no boots on the ground. Trump's going 558 00:37:33,320 --> 00:37:36,080 Speaker 1: to avoid those kinds of mistakes. I get it. But 559 00:37:36,239 --> 00:37:41,200 Speaker 1: if the country fragments and splinters apart, if and you 560 00:37:41,280 --> 00:37:45,520 Speaker 1: see the images on TV. The American people are going 561 00:37:45,560 --> 00:37:50,759 Speaker 1: to say, we blame you. That's why another reason why 562 00:37:50,800 --> 00:37:55,919 Speaker 1: I'm urging him to eventually go to Congress, because let 563 00:37:56,040 --> 00:38:00,239 Speaker 1: members of Congress vote, let them be held accountable. Now, 564 00:38:00,280 --> 00:38:02,320 Speaker 1: I get it. If it all goes well, he gets 565 00:38:02,440 --> 00:38:05,600 Speaker 1: all the credit. But if things go bad, he's going 566 00:38:05,680 --> 00:38:11,239 Speaker 1: to get all the blame. So Brooks, I'm just telling 567 00:38:11,320 --> 00:38:14,600 Speaker 1: you that's the situation. That's why you can cut the 568 00:38:14,680 --> 00:38:18,719 Speaker 1: tension with a knife when you're you know, in the country, 569 00:38:19,280 --> 00:38:24,480 Speaker 1: but especially within the Trump administration. This look, this is 570 00:38:24,520 --> 00:38:29,400 Speaker 1: what they've said. It is the biggest gamble of Trump's 571 00:38:29,600 --> 00:38:35,960 Speaker 1: entire political career, and he knows it now. So far 572 00:38:36,160 --> 00:38:42,880 Speaker 1: it's going brilliantly. Knock on wood. I'm telling you, the 573 00:38:43,040 --> 00:38:48,640 Speaker 1: absolute inflection point, the watershed is when the war is over, 574 00:38:48,880 --> 00:38:54,680 Speaker 1: God willing, and we win. What happens after, what happens 575 00:38:54,719 --> 00:38:58,960 Speaker 1: to the regime and if it's replaced, Is it replaced? 576 00:38:59,160 --> 00:39:03,279 Speaker 1: And by whom? I know? People say it's up to 577 00:39:03,280 --> 00:39:06,520 Speaker 1: the Iranian people, of course, but that's a hope
