1 00:00:00,240 --> 00:00:09,879 Speaker 1: Good morning, Cooner Contry. Okay, my friends, Wow wow, there's 2 00:00:09,880 --> 00:00:13,280 Speaker 1: nothing else to say really, but wow. It has been 3 00:00:13,560 --> 00:00:19,400 Speaker 1: a very very dramatic, momentous forty eight hours in the 4 00:00:19,480 --> 00:00:24,960 Speaker 1: war with Iran, massive developments on so many fronts, and. 5 00:00:24,880 --> 00:00:28,800 Speaker 2: Now the question is will Trump take. 6 00:00:28,600 --> 00:00:33,519 Speaker 1: This to the next level so to give everybody a 7 00:00:33,600 --> 00:00:38,640 Speaker 1: clear context of what is taking place. We have essentially 8 00:00:39,040 --> 00:00:45,680 Speaker 1: militarily won the war. There's no question Sentcom's commander came 9 00:00:45,720 --> 00:00:50,760 Speaker 1: out gave the numbers. I've never seen anything like this. 10 00:00:50,760 --> 00:00:55,080 Speaker 1: This is going down as one of the most brilliant, lethal, 11 00:00:55,760 --> 00:01:02,400 Speaker 1: effective military performances in the history of warfare. That there 12 00:01:02,480 --> 00:01:07,400 Speaker 1: is no question. Over one hundred and ninety Iranian naval 13 00:01:07,520 --> 00:01:13,039 Speaker 1: vessels are gone gone. Not since the end, not since 14 00:01:13,080 --> 00:01:18,160 Speaker 1: World War Two has an entire navy been wiped out, 15 00:01:18,280 --> 00:01:22,360 Speaker 1: or as many naval ships been wiped out in three 16 00:01:22,440 --> 00:01:26,800 Speaker 1: weeks as we have now seen during Operation Epic Fury. 17 00:01:27,600 --> 00:01:32,600 Speaker 1: Their navy now is practically finished. Their air force is 18 00:01:32,640 --> 00:01:37,880 Speaker 1: in tatters. Their ballistic missile capability and I'll get to 19 00:01:37,920 --> 00:01:42,880 Speaker 1: this very soon, has been now severely downgraded. There's no 20 00:01:43,040 --> 00:01:46,720 Speaker 1: question that has been degraded. It has been battered. We 21 00:01:46,840 --> 00:01:53,840 Speaker 1: have hit depot after depot, underground bunker after underground bunker. Again, 22 00:01:54,000 --> 00:01:58,680 Speaker 1: even more leaders within the Iranian regime have been killed. 23 00:01:59,240 --> 00:02:04,920 Speaker 1: They are losing command and control. This simply put, militarily, 24 00:02:05,920 --> 00:02:09,120 Speaker 1: this is a slaughter, there is no question about it. 25 00:02:09,960 --> 00:02:17,919 Speaker 1: And yet despite taking massive losses militarily, whether it's the army, 26 00:02:18,000 --> 00:02:21,440 Speaker 1: whether it's the navy, whether it's the air force, whether 27 00:02:21,480 --> 00:02:28,200 Speaker 1: it's entire missile infrastructure, its nuclear program is beyond obliterated. 28 00:02:28,840 --> 00:02:34,160 Speaker 1: There is nothing left of Iran's nuclear program, and still 29 00:02:35,320 --> 00:02:36,760 Speaker 1: the Mullahs hang on. 30 00:02:37,880 --> 00:02:41,000 Speaker 2: Still, they display. 31 00:02:40,560 --> 00:02:45,919 Speaker 1: A level of resilience that both Israel and the United States, 32 00:02:46,400 --> 00:02:50,800 Speaker 1: Israeli intelligence, our own intelligence are now both saying and 33 00:02:50,880 --> 00:02:56,840 Speaker 1: admitting that they did not perceive this level of resistance, 34 00:02:57,480 --> 00:03:02,000 Speaker 1: this kind of base of support, that this regime was 35 00:03:02,080 --> 00:03:05,840 Speaker 1: able to muster over the last three weeks, And they 36 00:03:05,919 --> 00:03:09,880 Speaker 1: now say over the next three, four, five, six weeks, 37 00:03:10,720 --> 00:03:14,800 Speaker 1: if they continue the intensity of this bombing campaign, they're 38 00:03:14,919 --> 00:03:23,760 Speaker 1: still not sure that Iran, the Iatolas, the theocracy will collapse. Now, 39 00:03:24,080 --> 00:03:28,200 Speaker 1: what the Mullahs are doing is they are now clogging 40 00:03:28,240 --> 00:03:32,920 Speaker 1: the strait of hormouse and on that we still have 41 00:03:33,040 --> 00:03:36,520 Speaker 1: not been able to destroy their capability. They are using 42 00:03:36,760 --> 00:03:42,320 Speaker 1: portable anti ship missiles where they're just now harassing shipping. 43 00:03:42,880 --> 00:03:49,360 Speaker 1: They've also now launched sea mines, these mind layers, which 44 00:03:49,440 --> 00:03:53,520 Speaker 1: is now making passage almost impossible. And they are using 45 00:03:53,640 --> 00:03:57,640 Speaker 1: drone attacks. These drones are cheap, they're not very expensive. 46 00:03:58,160 --> 00:04:01,320 Speaker 1: They're almost low technology in some ways compared to the 47 00:04:01,720 --> 00:04:06,400 Speaker 1: arsenal that we are now unloading upon Iran. And yet 48 00:04:06,440 --> 00:04:10,680 Speaker 1: they are highly deadly and highly effective. And so as 49 00:04:10,720 --> 00:04:17,240 Speaker 1: the Strait of Hormouse now remains blocked and almost impossible 50 00:04:17,279 --> 00:04:22,880 Speaker 1: to navigate, the Iranians now have told Trump through back 51 00:04:22,960 --> 00:04:27,400 Speaker 1: channels that they believe listen to this, that they are 52 00:04:27,440 --> 00:04:31,800 Speaker 1: winning the war if you can believe it. They believe 53 00:04:32,000 --> 00:04:36,119 Speaker 1: they are winning the war because for them, their only 54 00:04:36,200 --> 00:04:42,599 Speaker 1: strategy now is to simply outlast Trump, to take the punishment, 55 00:04:42,920 --> 00:04:47,560 Speaker 1: and take the punishment, and take the punishment, and then 56 00:04:47,760 --> 00:04:52,159 Speaker 1: claim that they survived everything the United States to them, 57 00:04:52,240 --> 00:04:56,400 Speaker 1: the Great Satan, Israel to them, the Little Satan could 58 00:04:56,480 --> 00:05:00,880 Speaker 1: throw at them, and they are still standing. And so 59 00:05:01,080 --> 00:05:05,039 Speaker 1: this will now become for them a new myth for 60 00:05:05,160 --> 00:05:09,440 Speaker 1: their regime, that they were able to stand out, stand 61 00:05:09,520 --> 00:05:13,640 Speaker 1: up forgive me to both Israel and the United States 62 00:05:13,680 --> 00:05:19,560 Speaker 1: and took their best, hardest blows and still they survive. 63 00:05:20,960 --> 00:05:24,720 Speaker 1: On top of this, they want to drive oil and 64 00:05:24,800 --> 00:05:30,240 Speaker 1: gas prices through the roof, trigger an economic recession, and 65 00:05:30,480 --> 00:05:34,400 Speaker 1: in particular have gas in our country go up to 66 00:05:34,520 --> 00:05:37,280 Speaker 1: six even seven dollars a gallon. 67 00:05:38,480 --> 00:05:39,880 Speaker 2: And so that's why. 68 00:05:39,680 --> 00:05:43,120 Speaker 1: They believe the longer this war goes on, and the 69 00:05:43,200 --> 00:05:47,120 Speaker 1: longer they continue to launch missile attack after missile attack, 70 00:05:47,680 --> 00:05:51,640 Speaker 1: drone attack after drone attack on all of these Persian 71 00:05:51,680 --> 00:05:55,320 Speaker 1: Gulf nations that neighbor them, some of the biggest oil 72 00:05:55,400 --> 00:06:01,039 Speaker 1: producers in the world. Now they're targeting directly oil facilities, 73 00:06:01,600 --> 00:06:07,880 Speaker 1: oil infrastructure. This is causing now semi permanent damage. This 74 00:06:08,000 --> 00:06:10,040 Speaker 1: means it's not gonna be fixed in a week or 75 00:06:10,080 --> 00:06:13,240 Speaker 1: a month. It's gonna take months and months and months 76 00:06:13,240 --> 00:06:17,600 Speaker 1: to fix this, which means oil prices are gonna stay 77 00:06:17,720 --> 00:06:21,839 Speaker 1: high for a long time. And they know this. They're 78 00:06:21,920 --> 00:06:26,760 Speaker 1: hitting Saudi Arabia, They're hitting Kuwait, They're hitting Katar, they're 79 00:06:26,800 --> 00:06:30,960 Speaker 1: hitting Bahrain, they're hitting the United Arab Emirates. They are 80 00:06:31,120 --> 00:06:36,280 Speaker 1: slowly but surely crippling the ability of these Gulf nations 81 00:06:36,680 --> 00:06:39,640 Speaker 1: to process, refine, and export oil. 82 00:06:40,920 --> 00:06:43,599 Speaker 2: So as all of this now. 83 00:06:43,560 --> 00:06:50,320 Speaker 1: Takes place, President Trump, wanting to desperately end this war 84 00:06:50,520 --> 00:06:55,479 Speaker 1: now before it drags on and on and on, has 85 00:06:55,560 --> 00:07:01,520 Speaker 1: now given the Ayatolas the mother of all ultimatum. On 86 00:07:01,720 --> 00:07:06,560 Speaker 1: Saturday night, he said, you have forty eight hours. 87 00:07:07,040 --> 00:07:08,880 Speaker 2: That means Monday night. 88 00:07:09,320 --> 00:07:15,640 Speaker 1: So I guess tonight, either unblock the Strait of Hormose, 89 00:07:18,440 --> 00:07:21,240 Speaker 1: get out of the way in the Strait of Hormuz, 90 00:07:21,720 --> 00:07:26,480 Speaker 1: and restore the free navigation. Remember Straight of Hormoose is 91 00:07:26,520 --> 00:07:31,200 Speaker 1: an international waterway. It doesn't belong to the Iranians. What 92 00:07:31,320 --> 00:07:36,240 Speaker 1: the Iranians are now doing are war crimes. Targeting civilians, 93 00:07:36,280 --> 00:07:41,480 Speaker 1: targeting civilian infrastructure, Those are war crimes. What they are 94 00:07:41,520 --> 00:07:44,440 Speaker 1: now doing to their neighbors. What they are now doing 95 00:07:44,480 --> 00:07:47,800 Speaker 1: to the Strait of Hormuse is against the United Nations, 96 00:07:48,160 --> 00:07:54,680 Speaker 1: is against international law, and is against the is against 97 00:07:54,680 --> 00:07:59,080 Speaker 1: the Code of War. These are war crimes, and they're 98 00:07:59,080 --> 00:08:05,880 Speaker 1: trying to hold the entire world now hostage. President Trump 99 00:08:05,880 --> 00:08:11,320 Speaker 1: has now told them forty eight hours, if you don't 100 00:08:11,360 --> 00:08:16,360 Speaker 1: start to unblock the Strait of Hormouse and stop harassing 101 00:08:16,440 --> 00:08:20,720 Speaker 1: any ships that try to go through, I will then 102 00:08:21,080 --> 00:08:27,480 Speaker 1: destroy every single power plant in Iran, starting with their 103 00:08:27,560 --> 00:08:33,400 Speaker 1: biggest plant, which is a nuclear power plant. So Trump 104 00:08:33,480 --> 00:08:39,680 Speaker 1: is now told the Iatolas, forget military targets, forget your 105 00:08:40,400 --> 00:08:47,199 Speaker 1: ballistic and nuclear infrastructure. What we are now going to 106 00:08:47,320 --> 00:08:55,760 Speaker 1: hit is your energy infrastructure, your energy grid, and that 107 00:08:55,840 --> 00:08:59,760 Speaker 1: you don't repair in one month or six months or 108 00:08:59,800 --> 00:09:04,319 Speaker 1: a So what he's essentially saying is he will take 109 00:09:04,520 --> 00:09:08,960 Speaker 1: the lights out in Iran. There will be no power, 110 00:09:10,000 --> 00:09:15,240 Speaker 1: There will be nothing to run factories, to run industrial production. 111 00:09:15,880 --> 00:09:17,720 Speaker 1: They will not be able to have any kind of 112 00:09:17,720 --> 00:09:22,079 Speaker 1: a functioning economy. To be honest, the problem is people 113 00:09:22,120 --> 00:09:25,800 Speaker 1: won't have running water, people won't have running toilets. It 114 00:09:25,880 --> 00:09:31,160 Speaker 1: is going to turn life in Iran absolutely miserable, miserable, 115 00:09:31,679 --> 00:09:35,200 Speaker 1: not just for the regime but for the civilian population, 116 00:09:36,320 --> 00:09:39,400 Speaker 1: and it will set them back most likely five to 117 00:09:39,480 --> 00:09:44,079 Speaker 1: ten years. Trump is now saying, I am gonna bomb 118 00:09:44,120 --> 00:09:49,400 Speaker 1: you to the stone age. You don't relent, and every 119 00:09:49,559 --> 00:09:54,280 Speaker 1: power plant will be annihilated, starting with your biggest nuclear 120 00:09:54,400 --> 00:09:59,280 Speaker 1: power plant. You will have no energy, no electricity, no 121 00:09:59,480 --> 00:10:07,240 Speaker 1: power whatsoever. Good luck running your economy, good luck running schools, hospitals, anything, 122 00:10:07,760 --> 00:10:13,720 Speaker 1: desalination plants to clean up the water. That's now gonna 123 00:10:13,760 --> 00:10:20,400 Speaker 1: start being attacked now in retaliation, the Mullahs have now said, 124 00:10:21,120 --> 00:10:24,320 Speaker 1: you hit us, and you hit our power plants, we 125 00:10:24,400 --> 00:10:28,560 Speaker 1: are gonna unleash every drone, every missile, and we will 126 00:10:28,640 --> 00:10:33,200 Speaker 1: take out the energy grid of every single neighboring country 127 00:10:33,200 --> 00:10:39,000 Speaker 1: that surrounds us. We suffer, they suffer. Our lights go out, 128 00:10:39,400 --> 00:10:41,200 Speaker 1: Their lights go out. 129 00:10:42,240 --> 00:10:44,000 Speaker 2: And so the question now is. 130 00:10:45,520 --> 00:10:51,800 Speaker 1: Will the Mullas bend the knee, Will the Mullas finally 131 00:10:51,920 --> 00:10:57,960 Speaker 1: throw in the towel. This is clearly the highest risk 132 00:10:58,280 --> 00:11:02,720 Speaker 1: gambol that President Trump has taken since the war began. 133 00:11:03,920 --> 00:11:07,959 Speaker 1: If it breaks the Mullahs, it'll be an absolute masterpiece. 134 00:11:08,600 --> 00:11:15,480 Speaker 1: If not, this could really destabilize the region. This could 135 00:11:15,559 --> 00:11:19,640 Speaker 1: go sideways, very very quickly. So anyway, here is again 136 00:11:19,720 --> 00:11:25,400 Speaker 1: the absolute latest. President Trump now frustrated with the continued 137 00:11:25,600 --> 00:11:29,600 Speaker 1: closing of the Strait of Hormouse, with gas prices, oil 138 00:11:29,679 --> 00:11:34,640 Speaker 1: prices surging. In fact, it's official gas in the United 139 00:11:34,679 --> 00:11:37,640 Speaker 1: States has gone up a dollar a gallon since the 140 00:11:37,679 --> 00:11:41,319 Speaker 1: war now began, on average on average across the country. 141 00:11:41,720 --> 00:11:46,439 Speaker 1: Trump is worried obviously about a potential recession, a global recession. 142 00:11:47,280 --> 00:11:52,040 Speaker 1: Higher inflation now coming back, higher prices coming back and 143 00:11:52,120 --> 00:11:56,199 Speaker 1: the political impact this will have in the midterms, and 144 00:11:56,320 --> 00:12:01,280 Speaker 1: so he wants to now finish this and finish it decisively. 145 00:12:01,840 --> 00:12:06,320 Speaker 1: So this is what he told the Ayatolas. He did 146 00:12:06,360 --> 00:12:09,840 Speaker 1: it first on truth Social and then there was repeated 147 00:12:09,920 --> 00:12:13,440 Speaker 1: or reiterated. They have apparently some back channels, and so 148 00:12:13,480 --> 00:12:16,240 Speaker 1: I don't know who's left running that country, to be honest, 149 00:12:16,640 --> 00:12:20,720 Speaker 1: but whoever is left running that country, apparently they were 150 00:12:20,760 --> 00:12:24,200 Speaker 1: told this is not a bluff. Trump is not playing. 151 00:12:25,120 --> 00:12:29,640 Speaker 1: So quote here is exactly what he said. If Iran 152 00:12:29,840 --> 00:12:36,920 Speaker 1: doesn't all in caps fully open without threat, the Strait 153 00:12:37,000 --> 00:12:42,520 Speaker 1: of hor moves within forty eight hours of this exact 154 00:12:42,679 --> 00:12:47,480 Speaker 1: point in time. This was Saturday night, the United States 155 00:12:47,559 --> 00:12:54,880 Speaker 1: of America will hit and obliterate their various power plants, 156 00:12:55,559 --> 00:13:03,400 Speaker 1: starting with the biggest one first. So in plain English, 157 00:13:04,160 --> 00:13:08,120 Speaker 1: we're going to turn the lights off in Iran, no power, 158 00:13:08,720 --> 00:13:12,120 Speaker 1: no electricity. We are going to wipe out your entire 159 00:13:12,280 --> 00:13:19,560 Speaker 1: electric grid. And basically that will bring not just their economy, 160 00:13:20,040 --> 00:13:23,200 Speaker 1: but in some ways their entire society to its needs. 161 00:13:24,360 --> 00:13:27,800 Speaker 1: I mean, everything runs on electricity now, so you take 162 00:13:27,840 --> 00:13:30,720 Speaker 1: away electricity, what can you do? You can't do anything 163 00:13:32,280 --> 00:13:40,200 Speaker 1: now twenty other countries release statements telling Iran that they 164 00:13:40,320 --> 00:13:45,480 Speaker 1: must stop attacking unarmed civilian shipping vessels. 165 00:13:45,520 --> 00:13:48,520 Speaker 2: In the Strait of Hormuz, that they have. 166 00:13:48,440 --> 00:13:54,000 Speaker 1: To reopen freedom of navigation, that this is against international law, 167 00:13:54,760 --> 00:13:58,559 Speaker 1: that these are crimes, these are war crimes. So now 168 00:13:58,600 --> 00:14:00,880 Speaker 1: they're not going to do anything in terms of helping 169 00:14:00,960 --> 00:14:06,040 Speaker 1: us militarily, but at least on record, there is growing 170 00:14:06,200 --> 00:14:11,800 Speaker 1: pressure on the Mullahs to finally end their blockade of 171 00:14:11,880 --> 00:14:13,160 Speaker 1: the Strait of Hormuz. 172 00:14:13,920 --> 00:14:16,520 Speaker 2: Now I want you to listen to. 173 00:14:18,240 --> 00:14:23,040 Speaker 1: The ambassador, US Ambassador to the United Nations. This was 174 00:14:23,120 --> 00:14:28,000 Speaker 1: Michael Waltz over the weekend, and he said, listen on 175 00:14:28,080 --> 00:14:32,520 Speaker 1: Fox News saying we're not playing, we're not bluffing, we're 176 00:14:32,560 --> 00:14:37,480 Speaker 1: not joking. This is not psychological warfare. We're telling the 177 00:14:37,560 --> 00:14:41,480 Speaker 1: Ayatolas we're done. This war is going to come to 178 00:14:41,520 --> 00:14:44,920 Speaker 1: an end. We've won the war, and if you don't 179 00:14:44,960 --> 00:14:47,920 Speaker 1: want to, you know, come to reason, then we're going 180 00:14:47,960 --> 00:14:49,320 Speaker 1: to take your economy down. 181 00:14:50,480 --> 00:14:52,320 Speaker 2: And we believe the. 182 00:14:51,960 --> 00:14:58,240 Speaker 1: Iranian people will blame you, not us, but you, the 183 00:14:58,360 --> 00:15:03,880 Speaker 1: crazed Mullahs of Iran, for not surrendering when you have 184 00:15:03,960 --> 00:15:07,600 Speaker 1: been defeated. Rull cut ten mic. 185 00:15:11,280 --> 00:15:13,360 Speaker 3: What is the president going to do in forty eight hours, 186 00:15:13,360 --> 00:15:15,840 Speaker 3: which would be Monday night if they don't open up 187 00:15:15,880 --> 00:15:20,720 Speaker 3: the strait, Well, Maria, as the President announced, he will 188 00:15:20,760 --> 00:15:27,840 Speaker 3: start by attacking and destroying one of Iran's largest power plants. 189 00:15:28,520 --> 00:15:32,240 Speaker 3: There are gas, fire, thermal power plants and other type 190 00:15:32,280 --> 00:15:34,400 Speaker 3: of plants. And I want to be clear here before 191 00:15:34,440 --> 00:15:36,800 Speaker 3: there's you know, kind of hand ringing out in the 192 00:15:36,800 --> 00:15:42,520 Speaker 3: international community. The IRGC, which we've declared a terrorist organization, 193 00:15:42,600 --> 00:15:46,640 Speaker 3: along with many European countries, control much of Iran's economy, 194 00:15:46,680 --> 00:15:52,040 Speaker 3: control its critical infrastructure, and continue to power what's left 195 00:15:52,080 --> 00:15:56,640 Speaker 3: of its war effort through this control of its critical infrastructure. 196 00:15:56,720 --> 00:16:01,320 Speaker 3: So the President is not messing around. He stands unlike 197 00:16:01,320 --> 00:16:04,600 Speaker 3: his predecessors, he stands by his red lines, and he's 198 00:16:04,640 --> 00:16:08,800 Speaker 3: not going to allow this genocidal regime to hold the 199 00:16:08,840 --> 00:16:11,160 Speaker 3: world's energy supplies, our economies hosted. 200 00:16:11,960 --> 00:16:16,080 Speaker 1: Okay, So again he's looking to break financially, he's looking 201 00:16:16,080 --> 00:16:18,760 Speaker 1: to break their spine, just you know, put them over 202 00:16:18,800 --> 00:16:23,200 Speaker 1: his knee and just break them and hopefully that will 203 00:16:23,320 --> 00:16:26,640 Speaker 1: end it. Here is the risk, okay, this is that's 204 00:16:26,640 --> 00:16:31,160 Speaker 1: why it's very high risk. The risk is you're dealing 205 00:16:31,240 --> 00:16:37,040 Speaker 1: with fanatics, think Imperial Japanese in World War Two, or 206 00:16:37,080 --> 00:16:41,560 Speaker 1: the Nazis, Hitler and the Bunker. You're dealing with people that, yes, 207 00:16:41,640 --> 00:16:45,040 Speaker 1: how do I say this? In ninety nine point ninety 208 00:16:45,120 --> 00:16:49,680 Speaker 1: nine percent of cases when the United States and Israel 209 00:16:49,840 --> 00:16:53,040 Speaker 1: after having you know, destroyed your navy, destroyed your air force, 210 00:16:53,480 --> 00:16:58,040 Speaker 1: destroyed most of your air defenses completely, have smashed your 211 00:16:58,040 --> 00:17:02,400 Speaker 1: ballistic infrastructure, wiped out your nuclear program, I mean just 212 00:17:02,440 --> 00:17:05,320 Speaker 1: wiped it off the face of the earth. Practically, you 213 00:17:05,480 --> 00:17:08,080 Speaker 1: have to know when you've been defeated. I mean it's over, 214 00:17:08,160 --> 00:17:12,720 Speaker 1: you've lost. But they don't want to give up. They 215 00:17:12,760 --> 00:17:16,600 Speaker 1: just don't want to give up. And the assumption is 216 00:17:16,760 --> 00:17:21,200 Speaker 1: that they actually care about their own people, that there's 217 00:17:21,240 --> 00:17:23,800 Speaker 1: a certain point where they say, hey, look we don't 218 00:17:23,800 --> 00:17:26,679 Speaker 1: want to inflict any more damage in a losing cause. 219 00:17:27,280 --> 00:17:31,040 Speaker 1: It's time to wave the white flag of surrender. You're 220 00:17:31,040 --> 00:17:34,120 Speaker 1: dealing with the regime. I may be wrong. I hope 221 00:17:34,160 --> 00:17:37,280 Speaker 1: I'm wrong, which is almost like good you die for 222 00:17:37,400 --> 00:17:42,479 Speaker 1: a lah. So the more people starve, the better. The 223 00:17:42,560 --> 00:17:46,760 Speaker 1: more people die the better, Okay, as I was saying 224 00:17:47,080 --> 00:17:48,600 Speaker 1: just before the break, and then I want to go 225 00:17:48,640 --> 00:17:51,879 Speaker 1: to the calls six one, seven two six six sixty 226 00:17:51,920 --> 00:17:55,520 Speaker 1: eight sixty eight. The question now, and this is what 227 00:17:55,640 --> 00:17:58,520 Speaker 1: Trump needs his weighing, and obviously his team is weighing. 228 00:18:00,080 --> 00:18:02,560 Speaker 1: If they go for the power plants, if they follow 229 00:18:02,640 --> 00:18:10,240 Speaker 1: through on their ultimatum tonight, will the Iranian people, many 230 00:18:10,280 --> 00:18:12,680 Speaker 1: of whom want to overthrow the Iyatolis? 231 00:18:13,520 --> 00:18:13,960 Speaker 4: Not all. 232 00:18:14,160 --> 00:18:16,040 Speaker 1: We can see that there is a base of support, 233 00:18:16,440 --> 00:18:19,760 Speaker 1: there's no question. However, there's still a lot of opposition 234 00:18:19,800 --> 00:18:22,600 Speaker 1: to this regime. And I don't blame them. This is 235 00:18:22,640 --> 00:18:30,560 Speaker 1: a brutal, barbaric Islamo fascist regime. Will they blame the 236 00:18:30,720 --> 00:18:36,560 Speaker 1: Mullahs for basically now the implosion of their country, for 237 00:18:36,640 --> 00:18:39,960 Speaker 1: the obliteration of their country? Or are they going to 238 00:18:40,040 --> 00:18:44,359 Speaker 1: blame the United States and Israel? I think that's the 239 00:18:44,440 --> 00:18:49,800 Speaker 1: wild card here, because we're no longer talking about military 240 00:18:49,880 --> 00:18:57,760 Speaker 1: targets and government buildings and military bases and nuclear sites 241 00:18:57,800 --> 00:19:00,320 Speaker 1: that they had and they were hitting them again and 242 00:19:00,400 --> 00:19:04,400 Speaker 1: again and again to just really wipe out their nuclear 243 00:19:04,440 --> 00:19:08,320 Speaker 1: program once and for all. Now you're talking about power 244 00:19:08,359 --> 00:19:13,320 Speaker 1: plants the electric grid, knocking out electricity, which you can't 245 00:19:13,520 --> 00:19:16,560 Speaker 1: after the damage we're gonna do. This is not a 246 00:19:16,560 --> 00:19:20,439 Speaker 1: pinprick strike here or there. They're not gonna have power, 247 00:19:21,760 --> 00:19:23,800 Speaker 1: They're not gonna be able to go to work. Their 248 00:19:23,840 --> 00:19:27,840 Speaker 1: factories won't function. I mean literally, they won't. They don't, 249 00:19:27,880 --> 00:19:30,159 Speaker 1: they won't have access to computers, they can't turn the 250 00:19:30,240 --> 00:19:33,160 Speaker 1: lights on. Soon you're gonna run, you know, you won't 251 00:19:33,200 --> 00:19:35,359 Speaker 1: have running water, You're not even gonna be able to 252 00:19:35,400 --> 00:19:39,680 Speaker 1: flush the toilet, and so a lot of them are going. 253 00:19:39,600 --> 00:19:41,000 Speaker 2: To be extremely angry. 254 00:19:41,560 --> 00:19:45,240 Speaker 1: Now, part of the thinking is this will trigger them 255 00:19:45,280 --> 00:19:49,920 Speaker 1: to rise up and finally turn on the Mullus. That's 256 00:19:50,160 --> 00:19:54,320 Speaker 1: clearly part of the strategic calculation behind this move. But 257 00:19:54,680 --> 00:19:58,280 Speaker 1: what if instead they begin to blame the United States? 258 00:19:59,320 --> 00:20:03,639 Speaker 1: I'm asking, what do you think is going to happen? Secondly, 259 00:20:06,160 --> 00:20:10,960 Speaker 1: President Benjamin sorry, Prime Minister, my bad. Prime Minister Benjamin 260 00:20:11,000 --> 00:20:17,040 Speaker 1: Netanyahu delivered a speech over just before the weekend in 261 00:20:17,080 --> 00:20:20,800 Speaker 1: which he said the air and sea power that is 262 00:20:20,840 --> 00:20:24,879 Speaker 1: being deployed is some of the most overwhelming decisive in 263 00:20:24,920 --> 00:20:30,080 Speaker 1: the history of war. However, it is not enough to 264 00:20:30,200 --> 00:20:35,520 Speaker 1: affect regime change the bb net Yahu came out and 265 00:20:35,560 --> 00:20:40,560 Speaker 1: said it's done tremendous damage. It's degraded and dismantled. So 266 00:20:40,680 --> 00:20:44,639 Speaker 1: much of Iran's military We have delivered, as he put it, 267 00:20:45,320 --> 00:20:51,639 Speaker 1: massive blows to the regime, but air power, missile power, 268 00:20:52,040 --> 00:20:57,000 Speaker 1: sea power is still not enough to topple a regime. 269 00:20:58,280 --> 00:21:02,399 Speaker 1: To topple a regime, are his words not mine? You 270 00:21:02,640 --> 00:21:08,440 Speaker 1: need a quote unquote ground component. In other words, as 271 00:21:08,520 --> 00:21:11,199 Speaker 1: BB put it, you got to put boots on the ground. 272 00:21:12,440 --> 00:21:14,760 Speaker 1: That's the only way to do it. If you want 273 00:21:14,760 --> 00:21:17,760 Speaker 1: to overthrow the Ayatolas, you have to put boots on 274 00:21:17,800 --> 00:21:22,840 Speaker 1: the ground. Reporters then asked immediately in Israel, does that 275 00:21:22,920 --> 00:21:25,199 Speaker 1: mean you're going to put Israeli boots on the ground, 276 00:21:25,720 --> 00:21:31,520 Speaker 1: and he said no yet, absolutely not. Israel is now 277 00:21:31,560 --> 00:21:34,800 Speaker 1: opening up a front in the war against Hasbolah, one 278 00:21:34,840 --> 00:21:39,840 Speaker 1: of Iran's top proxies. They've already deployed troops in southern Lebanon, 279 00:21:40,840 --> 00:21:44,240 Speaker 1: so as they're bombing Iran, they're fighting a second front 280 00:21:44,280 --> 00:21:48,080 Speaker 1: war against Hezbollah and nat Nya, who says, I can't 281 00:21:48,080 --> 00:21:52,840 Speaker 1: spare the troops. So essentially it's going to be up 282 00:21:52,840 --> 00:21:57,680 Speaker 1: to the United States. If Trump wants to topple the Ayatolas, 283 00:21:58,000 --> 00:22:00,639 Speaker 1: he's going to have to put boots on the ground. 284 00:22:01,359 --> 00:22:06,359 Speaker 1: Now when reports broke, and remember we discussed this last 285 00:22:06,400 --> 00:22:11,399 Speaker 1: week about two thousand, two hundred marines being sent an 286 00:22:11,440 --> 00:22:16,840 Speaker 1: expeditionary force to carg Island, which is the crown jewel 287 00:22:17,000 --> 00:22:21,119 Speaker 1: of Iran's oil infrastructure. All of the oil in Iran 288 00:22:21,240 --> 00:22:26,240 Speaker 1: is processed there, refined, and then exported out of Cargoil Sorry, 289 00:22:26,240 --> 00:22:33,040 Speaker 1: out of carg Island. Trump came out and said, no, 290 00:22:33,320 --> 00:22:35,400 Speaker 1: I am not going to put boots on the ground. 291 00:22:36,040 --> 00:22:39,520 Speaker 1: My people are planning it. Marines as I speak to 292 00:22:39,560 --> 00:22:42,640 Speaker 1: you now are being deployed or being sent to the region. 293 00:22:43,119 --> 00:22:46,320 Speaker 1: There are dozens of more warships that are rushing to 294 00:22:46,480 --> 00:22:50,800 Speaker 1: that area. But Trump said, no, we are not for 295 00:22:50,880 --> 00:22:55,600 Speaker 1: now anyway going to deploy ground troops. They will not 296 00:22:55,800 --> 00:23:01,359 Speaker 1: be used for carg Island or any other mission. Listen, now, 297 00:23:01,880 --> 00:23:06,680 Speaker 1: this was President Trump late last week at the White. 298 00:23:06,359 --> 00:23:14,240 Speaker 2: House lawn roll cut one a Mike. 299 00:23:18,200 --> 00:23:22,320 Speaker 1: Do you intend to potentially with US troops or more troops. 300 00:23:22,000 --> 00:23:22,560 Speaker 5: Than the agent. 301 00:23:23,080 --> 00:23:26,399 Speaker 6: No, I'm not putting troops anywhere. 302 00:23:25,960 --> 00:23:28,200 Speaker 2: If I were, certainly wouldn't tell you. 303 00:23:29,000 --> 00:23:32,200 Speaker 6: But I'm not putting troops, and we will do whatever 304 00:23:32,320 --> 00:23:35,400 Speaker 6: is necessary to keep the price as well. 305 00:23:37,400 --> 00:23:39,240 Speaker 1: So we're going to try to keep the price of 306 00:23:39,240 --> 00:23:42,159 Speaker 1: oil down but no, we're not. No, I'm not putting troops. 307 00:23:42,160 --> 00:23:43,920 Speaker 1: And if I did, I wasn't even going to tell you. 308 00:23:44,800 --> 00:23:51,520 Speaker 1: Now he's asked a different question. He's asked, now, you 309 00:23:51,640 --> 00:23:55,760 Speaker 1: say the war has been won militarily, and he said, well, 310 00:23:55,800 --> 00:23:59,600 Speaker 1: you know, he explains it, and they go, but what 311 00:23:59,720 --> 00:24:06,280 Speaker 1: about troops on the ground? Roll cut to Mike. 312 00:24:12,000 --> 00:24:13,960 Speaker 4: That he said the war was militarily won in Iran? 313 00:24:14,000 --> 00:24:14,880 Speaker 4: What did you know aby that? 314 00:24:15,000 --> 00:24:15,800 Speaker 7: Oh, I think we won. 315 00:24:16,040 --> 00:24:18,680 Speaker 6: We're knocked out their navy, their air force, we've knocked 316 00:24:18,720 --> 00:24:21,880 Speaker 6: out their anti aircraft, we've knocked out everything. 317 00:24:21,920 --> 00:24:23,119 Speaker 5: We're roaming free. 318 00:24:23,400 --> 00:24:26,240 Speaker 6: From a military standpoint, all they're doing is clogging up 319 00:24:26,280 --> 00:24:30,360 Speaker 6: the strait. But from a military standpoint, they're finished. 320 00:24:32,400 --> 00:24:37,200 Speaker 1: So to unclog the strait, to clear out the strait, 321 00:24:37,480 --> 00:24:40,000 Speaker 1: because this is now the main front in this war. 322 00:24:40,720 --> 00:24:43,960 Speaker 1: Everything now is over Hormoz and the Strait of Hormose. 323 00:24:44,560 --> 00:24:46,800 Speaker 1: I think that's where the war is going to be decided. 324 00:24:47,720 --> 00:24:51,120 Speaker 1: And so Trump now is then asked, well, you've got 325 00:24:51,119 --> 00:24:55,360 Speaker 1: this expeditionary unit, these marines. Apparently they're even more. It's 326 00:24:55,400 --> 00:24:58,080 Speaker 1: not just twenty five hundred, Apparently now there's a several 327 00:24:58,119 --> 00:25:01,520 Speaker 1: thousand more. Following them. So we're looking at five thousand 328 00:25:02,000 --> 00:25:05,720 Speaker 1: that are now rushing towards the area. You said no 329 00:25:05,840 --> 00:25:09,480 Speaker 1: boots on the ground last week. Are you still saying 330 00:25:09,480 --> 00:25:13,920 Speaker 1: no boots on the ground. Listen now to Trump's response, 331 00:25:14,440 --> 00:25:18,000 Speaker 1: there's clearly been a change. How much of a change 332 00:25:18,040 --> 00:25:21,600 Speaker 1: we shall see, but there's clearly been a change. This 333 00:25:21,800 --> 00:25:25,280 Speaker 1: is Trump now at the White House lawn. Roll cut 334 00:25:25,320 --> 00:25:26,520 Speaker 1: one Mike. 335 00:25:30,080 --> 00:25:33,280 Speaker 8: Bolt shown that Megan is essentially unified behind you as 336 00:25:33,320 --> 00:25:34,960 Speaker 8: a Republicans like come to our rand. 337 00:25:35,240 --> 00:25:38,320 Speaker 5: There's been reboard that you know, the United States might. 338 00:25:38,200 --> 00:25:41,240 Speaker 8: Be sending twenty five hundred marines to the Middle East. 339 00:25:41,440 --> 00:25:44,280 Speaker 8: Are you concerned that a move like that could potentially 340 00:25:44,359 --> 00:25:45,800 Speaker 8: change on the unity? 341 00:25:45,800 --> 00:25:46,119 Speaker 5: I don't know. 342 00:25:46,160 --> 00:25:50,000 Speaker 6: I seem to have great support because CNN came out 343 00:25:50,000 --> 00:25:52,600 Speaker 6: with a pole today that I'm at one hundred percent 344 00:25:53,119 --> 00:25:55,080 Speaker 6: and they said they've never seen a Poe like that. 345 00:25:55,160 --> 00:25:58,000 Speaker 6: The CNN poll said him at one hundred percent and 346 00:25:58,040 --> 00:26:01,159 Speaker 6: they've never seen that before, which is an honor. I 347 00:26:01,280 --> 00:26:03,840 Speaker 6: was impressed at CNN would do that. 348 00:26:04,600 --> 00:26:07,280 Speaker 2: But as far as troops. 349 00:26:06,960 --> 00:26:08,800 Speaker 5: Because I can't tell you what we're doing. 350 00:26:08,720 --> 00:26:09,440 Speaker 4: Mister president. 351 00:26:11,040 --> 00:26:13,400 Speaker 1: You see, it went from no boots on the ground 352 00:26:14,320 --> 00:26:18,080 Speaker 1: to I can't tell you what we're doing now. I'm 353 00:26:18,080 --> 00:26:21,480 Speaker 1: not saying he's going to deploy the troops, but that's 354 00:26:21,520 --> 00:26:25,040 Speaker 1: clearly a bit of a change. Six one seven two six, 355 00:26:25,200 --> 00:26:27,359 Speaker 1: six sixty eight sixty. 356 00:26:27,000 --> 00:26:29,120 Speaker 2: Eight is the number. Okay. 357 00:26:29,400 --> 00:26:34,680 Speaker 1: President Trump now threatens really the mother of all out ultimatums. 358 00:26:35,160 --> 00:26:39,280 Speaker 1: He now tells the Ayatolas either you unblock the Strait 359 00:26:39,280 --> 00:26:43,440 Speaker 1: of Hormouse or I will wipe out every power plant 360 00:26:43,520 --> 00:26:49,359 Speaker 1: in Iran, starting with the biggest. Now, as for the 361 00:26:49,520 --> 00:26:54,359 Speaker 1: US troop build up, there are about five thousand marines 362 00:26:54,440 --> 00:27:00,040 Speaker 1: now that are being rushed into the area, potentially to 363 00:27:00,119 --> 00:27:03,480 Speaker 1: launch an invasion and take over of carg Island. 364 00:27:03,520 --> 00:27:04,359 Speaker 2: We shall see. 365 00:27:04,880 --> 00:27:08,199 Speaker 1: But what all of this now means is that the 366 00:27:08,320 --> 00:27:14,640 Speaker 1: specter has been raised for the battle for Hormoose. Hormoose 367 00:27:14,720 --> 00:27:19,240 Speaker 1: now will decide the destiny of this war. And my 368 00:27:19,440 --> 00:27:24,920 Speaker 1: question to you, do you support Trump's ultimatum? And at 369 00:27:25,000 --> 00:27:29,720 Speaker 1: midnight tonight, if the Ayatolas do not comply, and I 370 00:27:29,840 --> 00:27:34,320 Speaker 1: have a deep fear that they will not, that these 371 00:27:34,359 --> 00:27:38,720 Speaker 1: fanatics will not see reason that they will not comply, 372 00:27:40,359 --> 00:27:44,280 Speaker 1: should Trump follow through on his threat and take out 373 00:27:44,359 --> 00:27:50,240 Speaker 1: Iran's entire electric power grid six one seven two six 374 00:27:50,359 --> 00:27:55,080 Speaker 1: six sixty eight sixty eight and essentially plunge that country 375 00:27:55,480 --> 00:28:00,640 Speaker 1: into darkness. Six one seven two six six sixty eight 376 00:28:00,760 --> 00:28:05,480 Speaker 1: sixty eight is the number mark in Medford. You're gonna 377 00:28:05,560 --> 00:28:06,200 Speaker 1: kick us off. 378 00:28:06,280 --> 00:28:09,680 Speaker 2: Mark. Thanks for holding and as always. 379 00:28:09,520 --> 00:28:12,960 Speaker 4: Welcome, Good morning, Jeff, and a happy Monday to. 380 00:28:12,960 --> 00:28:13,560 Speaker 8: You, my friend. 381 00:28:13,840 --> 00:28:15,080 Speaker 2: Happy Monday, my friend. 382 00:28:15,960 --> 00:28:19,080 Speaker 4: Okay, first of all, you know, if from followed through 383 00:28:19,280 --> 00:28:22,520 Speaker 4: or what he said tonight, are we kind of damned 384 00:28:22,640 --> 00:28:25,000 Speaker 4: damned if we do it then if we don't, because 385 00:28:25,040 --> 00:28:27,919 Speaker 4: if he doesn't, Iran's gonna still pull their their crap 386 00:28:28,240 --> 00:28:31,240 Speaker 4: and continue to do what they're doing. And if we do, 387 00:28:32,040 --> 00:28:36,520 Speaker 4: then they're gonna retaliate and take out their neighbor's power facilities. 388 00:28:36,800 --> 00:28:38,480 Speaker 4: So I look at it as a damned if we 389 00:28:38,560 --> 00:28:41,400 Speaker 4: do then if we don't situation. But as far as 390 00:28:42,120 --> 00:28:45,640 Speaker 4: front with the ground troops, you know, Jeff, he said no, 391 00:28:48,040 --> 00:28:50,880 Speaker 4: so that that keeps, you know, the element of surprise. 392 00:28:51,120 --> 00:28:55,040 Speaker 4: If it does happen, then if he says I don't know, 393 00:28:55,760 --> 00:28:59,200 Speaker 4: then he just had the most getting okay, you know, 394 00:29:00,000 --> 00:29:03,920 Speaker 4: and if you say no troops, whatever, it's just I 395 00:29:03,960 --> 00:29:06,520 Speaker 4: don't think. I don't think we're going to descend the 396 00:29:06,560 --> 00:29:09,200 Speaker 4: troops on the ground. I think we just want the 397 00:29:09,200 --> 00:29:13,640 Speaker 4: straight of hormose open. And if Israel wants regime change, 398 00:29:13,640 --> 00:29:17,440 Speaker 4: because if you notice, Trump is not mentioning regime change anymore, 399 00:29:17,680 --> 00:29:20,840 Speaker 4: He's just mentioning the straight of warmos, we want the 400 00:29:20,880 --> 00:29:24,920 Speaker 4: oil to flow. So if Israel wants regime change, get 401 00:29:24,920 --> 00:29:27,840 Speaker 4: out from where you are fighting and go to a 402 00:29:27,960 --> 00:29:30,040 Speaker 4: ran and get your regime change. 403 00:29:31,720 --> 00:29:35,720 Speaker 1: Mark, I got to ask you this, my friend, what 404 00:29:35,760 --> 00:29:39,720 Speaker 1: do you make of the fact that the Ayatolas, and 405 00:29:39,840 --> 00:29:43,360 Speaker 1: this is coming from the administration are our people. This 406 00:29:43,400 --> 00:29:46,240 Speaker 1: is not you know, some you know as some left 407 00:29:46,280 --> 00:29:49,800 Speaker 1: wing analyst or some liberal hack you know, writing for 408 00:29:49,800 --> 00:29:54,720 Speaker 1: the New York Times that through back channels the Ayatolas. 409 00:29:55,120 --> 00:29:57,200 Speaker 1: This is what I find. It's just I shake my head. 410 00:29:57,200 --> 00:29:59,920 Speaker 1: I can't believe it. Have become even more in bulld, 411 00:30:01,360 --> 00:30:08,200 Speaker 1: more brazen, more aggressive in their more demanding in their 412 00:30:08,240 --> 00:30:12,880 Speaker 1: negotiations with the United States because they believe that they 413 00:30:12,880 --> 00:30:16,800 Speaker 1: can actually now outlast Trump. They're convinced of it now. 414 00:30:17,440 --> 00:30:20,280 Speaker 1: So they're engaged in something that is immensely high risk. 415 00:30:20,840 --> 00:30:24,480 Speaker 1: I think crazy, I think lunacy high risk. But anyway, 416 00:30:24,920 --> 00:30:29,760 Speaker 1: which is go ahead, wipe out our energy infrastructure. Go ahead, 417 00:30:29,800 --> 00:30:33,480 Speaker 1: turn the lights off, go ahead, cause all this misery 418 00:30:33,480 --> 00:30:38,080 Speaker 1: in our country and destroy our economy and miserate our people. 419 00:30:38,560 --> 00:30:43,080 Speaker 1: We don't care you're going to leave in two, three, four, 420 00:30:43,400 --> 00:30:48,240 Speaker 1: five weeks. We can outlast you. And then this is 421 00:30:48,240 --> 00:30:51,640 Speaker 1: what they're demanding. Mark, they are now demanding. I want 422 00:30:51,640 --> 00:30:57,760 Speaker 1: everybody to know this that for any deal, they will 423 00:30:57,800 --> 00:31:02,160 Speaker 1: be able to impose a booth in the Strait of Hormuz, 424 00:31:02,200 --> 00:31:06,320 Speaker 1: the mullets, and they will charge every ship from this 425 00:31:06,400 --> 00:31:11,440 Speaker 1: point forward a fee, attacks whatever you want to call it, 426 00:31:12,280 --> 00:31:16,240 Speaker 1: so that now they say, the Strait of Hormuz will 427 00:31:16,280 --> 00:31:20,760 Speaker 1: be theirs, and they will control the flow of energy 428 00:31:21,200 --> 00:31:26,640 Speaker 1: going into the future. On top of that, they say 429 00:31:26,680 --> 00:31:31,160 Speaker 1: they want reparations from the United States for according to them, 430 00:31:31,240 --> 00:31:33,920 Speaker 1: this is what they're saying for having started the war, 431 00:31:34,720 --> 00:31:37,000 Speaker 1: and to pay for all the damage of the war. 432 00:31:38,080 --> 00:31:39,840 Speaker 2: And then they want. 433 00:31:39,640 --> 00:31:45,120 Speaker 1: A deal where the United States forces leave the region completely. 434 00:31:46,160 --> 00:31:52,680 Speaker 1: So these nutbags, these lunatics, are not just saying let's 435 00:31:52,800 --> 00:31:56,880 Speaker 1: end the war and we survive. They're saying no, no, no, no, 436 00:31:57,920 --> 00:32:02,720 Speaker 1: you leave the region, you pay us reparations. But the 437 00:32:02,840 --> 00:32:07,520 Speaker 1: big one we control the Strait of Hormuz. We set 438 00:32:07,600 --> 00:32:11,560 Speaker 1: up essentially effectively a toll where every ship going in 439 00:32:12,000 --> 00:32:16,040 Speaker 1: out has to pay us money. In other words, we 440 00:32:16,160 --> 00:32:22,040 Speaker 1: have our our hands on the chokehold of oil and 441 00:32:22,160 --> 00:32:27,120 Speaker 1: natural gas for the world. If the Ayatolas stick to 442 00:32:27,160 --> 00:32:32,520 Speaker 1: this line, are they really now forcing Trump's hand to 443 00:32:32,640 --> 00:32:36,080 Speaker 1: do everything in anything to dislodge them from power. 444 00:32:36,400 --> 00:32:37,040 Speaker 2: What say you. 445 00:32:38,920 --> 00:32:41,240 Speaker 9: When it worked my way backwards for your last comment, 446 00:32:42,280 --> 00:32:44,840 Speaker 9: As far as as far as handy. 447 00:32:44,440 --> 00:32:48,080 Speaker 4: Reparations, they have a better shot at getting reparations then 448 00:32:48,120 --> 00:32:50,440 Speaker 4: they do hanging out with Holler in seventy two version 449 00:32:50,480 --> 00:32:55,600 Speaker 4: when they're all dead. Okay, that's number one, number two, Jeff. 450 00:32:55,640 --> 00:33:03,960 Speaker 4: This has been the Islamic Muslim mentality for thousands of years. 451 00:33:04,360 --> 00:33:07,640 Speaker 4: They're not going to change their mind. They think if 452 00:33:07,640 --> 00:33:11,520 Speaker 4: they fight to the debt and it doesn't end that 453 00:33:11,640 --> 00:33:14,800 Speaker 4: they're gonna be the martyrs they're gonna want. They're the ones, 454 00:33:14,840 --> 00:33:16,480 Speaker 4: like I said, are gonna be with Oliver and the 455 00:33:16,600 --> 00:33:20,840 Speaker 4: seventy two versions.

It's over, Okay, it's over, and they 472 00:34:21,160 --> 00:34:24,000 Speaker 7: think their chills call the shots. Trump has got to 473 00:34:24,040 --> 00:34:26,920 Speaker 7: be laughing at them because there's there's nothing they can 474 00:34:26,960 --> 00:34:29,280 Speaker 7: do at this point in time. And if those power 475 00:34:29,320 --> 00:34:31,640 Speaker 7: grids go out, like I guess they will, because these 476 00:34:31,680 --> 00:34:34,480 Speaker 7: guys aren't gonna back down, They're gonna go. They don't 477 00:34:34,480 --> 00:34:39,360 Speaker 7: care if they die. They're they're fanatics, they're insane, they're dangerous, 478 00:34:39,640 --> 00:34:42,560 Speaker 7: and they should be taken out completely and let the 479 00:34:42,640 --> 00:34:45,760 Speaker 7: poor people. I ran, you're gonna have to start from scratch. 480 00:34:46,000 --> 00:34:49,840 Speaker 7: This is gonna be scorched earth here, and unfortunately it's 481 00:34:49,880 --> 00:34:53,239 Speaker 7: a thing. Look at this is not Normandy, this is 482 00:34:53,280 --> 00:34:58,440 Speaker 7: not Omaha Beach. Okay, and they're not gonna take a 483 00:34:58,520 --> 00:35:02,080 Speaker 7: year to get into Germany like they did in World 484 00:35:02,120 --> 00:35:07,280 Speaker 7: War Two. It's over now. They've they decimated Iran basically, 485 00:35:07,640 --> 00:35:10,560 Speaker 7: and now it's just going to be the finishing touch. 486 00:35:11,080 --> 00:35:17,160 Speaker 7: So my belief is keep going. I support Trump, and 487 00:35:17,280 --> 00:35:20,800 Speaker 7: this is it. You're done, You're finished. The only sad 488 00:35:20,840 --> 00:35:23,440 Speaker 7: thing about this is the people of Iran are going 489 00:35:23,480 --> 00:35:26,000 Speaker 7: to suffer so while, but it's going to be a 490 00:35:26,080 --> 00:35:29,600 Speaker 7: suffering that's going to be starting a new nation that 491 00:35:29,640 --> 00:35:33,600 Speaker 7: can come from rise the ashes from the Phoenix. Okay, 492 00:35:33,880 --> 00:35:38,560 Speaker 7: this is a unfortunate situation, but this is what it's 493 00:35:38,600 --> 00:35:41,040 Speaker 7: got to be. Trump is making the right moves and 494 00:35:41,080 --> 00:35:42,400 Speaker 7: I support them one hundred percent. 495 00:35:42,960 --> 00:35:46,040 Speaker 1: So Dane, your advice to him would be, if the 496 00:35:46,120 --> 00:35:50,400 Speaker 1: Mullahs do not comply with his ultimatum by midnight tonight, 497 00:35:51,560 --> 00:35:55,279 Speaker 1: don't you know, don't don't shy away, take out their 498 00:35:55,320 --> 00:35:59,080 Speaker 1: power plants, take out their biggest power plants, and just 499 00:35:59,160 --> 00:36:02,600 Speaker 1: turn the lights off and let the Molas live with 500 00:36:02,640 --> 00:36:04,200 Speaker 1: the consequences of their decision. 501 00:36:04,360 --> 00:36:09,000 Speaker 7: Correct, Absolutely, there's no choice at this time, there's no 502 00:36:09,080 --> 00:36:13,839 Speaker 7: other choice. Okay, we've got into it. We're you've got 503 00:36:13,840 --> 00:36:16,080 Speaker 7: to go all the way. Now, you have no turning 504 00:36:16,239 --> 00:36:19,960 Speaker 7: turning back. It's time now to finish the job, get 505 00:36:20,000 --> 00:36:23,560 Speaker 7: it done. Unfortunately, like I said, there's going to be 506 00:36:23,560 --> 00:36:25,920 Speaker 7: a lot of suffering with the poor people of Iran. 507 00:36:26,239 --> 00:36:29,880 Speaker 7: We're gonna pay some high prices. But in the end, okay, 508 00:36:30,120 --> 00:36:32,080 Speaker 7: it's the right move. It's the right thing to do 509 00:36:32,440 --> 00:36:35,400 Speaker 7: because they forced their hand. They put us in a 510 00:36:35,440 --> 00:36:38,480 Speaker 7: situation that we have no choice to do what we're doing. 511 00:36:38,880 --> 00:36:40,720 Speaker 7: It's either us or them. 512 00:36:41,200 --> 00:36:43,640 Speaker 1: Dane, thank you very much for that call. I really 513 00:36:43,680 --> 00:36:47,560 Speaker 1: appreciate it. Let me just play devil's advocate, Okay, just 514 00:36:47,600 --> 00:36:50,840 Speaker 1: to play devil's advocate, because that's what some people in 515 00:36:50,880 --> 00:36:55,000 Speaker 1: his team, his inner circlear, are saying to Trump. Now 516 00:36:55,000 --> 00:36:57,720 Speaker 1: they've lost out, but still the argument that they made 517 00:36:57,760 --> 00:37:02,640 Speaker 1: was you go and start hitting now the civilian infrastructure, 518 00:37:03,280 --> 00:37:05,480 Speaker 1: and that's what the electric grid is, that's what the 519 00:37:05,600 --> 00:37:08,480 Speaker 1: energy grid is. And now you're talking about you know, 520 00:37:08,560 --> 00:37:13,320 Speaker 1: electricity power. I mean you're talking about the ability to function, 521 00:37:14,280 --> 00:37:16,360 Speaker 1: the ability to you know, as I said, have water, 522 00:37:16,520 --> 00:37:20,239 Speaker 1: I have a refrigerator, go to the bathroom. What you're 523 00:37:20,239 --> 00:37:23,200 Speaker 1: going to end up doing is you're going to cause 524 00:37:23,280 --> 00:37:27,640 Speaker 1: so much economic pain and disruption that it's going to 525 00:37:27,680 --> 00:37:32,120 Speaker 1: have an an unintended effect, which is to have the 526 00:37:32,120 --> 00:37:37,560 Speaker 1: Iranian people, as they suffer, suffer, suffer, they will then 527 00:37:37,719 --> 00:37:42,520 Speaker 1: turn against the United States, not because they love the Mullas, 528 00:37:43,080 --> 00:37:47,719 Speaker 1: but because they say, look, we're going hungry, we're starving, 529 00:37:48,400 --> 00:37:51,480 Speaker 1: we can't go to the toilet, we have no jobs, 530 00:37:51,600 --> 00:37:54,720 Speaker 1: we have no factories, we have nothing, we have no power. 531 00:37:56,000 --> 00:38:01,520 Speaker 1: That this will so emiserate the lives of so many 532 00:38:01,560 --> 00:38:07,120 Speaker 1: Iranians on the street, that you're turning potential allies into 533 00:38:07,200 --> 00:38:11,360 Speaker 1: now enemies of the United States, and that this ultimately 534 00:38:11,400 --> 00:38:16,280 Speaker 1: will play into the hands of the Mullas. Agree, disagree, 535 00:38:16,360 --> 00:38:19,480 Speaker 1: I'm just throwing it out there. Plus now, again, there's 536 00:38:19,520 --> 00:38:22,240 Speaker 1: a lot of bluster, a lot of bluff from the Mullahs. 537 00:38:23,320 --> 00:38:26,560 Speaker 1: They're always making threats, but they are threatening that they 538 00:38:26,560 --> 00:38:30,840 Speaker 1: will respond, that they're going to launch ballistic attacks, missile attacks, 539 00:38:30,960 --> 00:38:35,320 Speaker 1: drone attacks, that they're going to hit the energy grid 540 00:38:35,880 --> 00:38:40,040 Speaker 1: of every neighboring country. And by the way, many of them, 541 00:38:40,560 --> 00:38:43,560 Speaker 1: you know, it's desert it's literally desert. They have no water. 542 00:38:44,440 --> 00:38:47,439 Speaker 1: The water that they get is from the sea, which 543 00:38:47,440 --> 00:38:48,479 Speaker 1: as you know, is full of salt. 544 00:38:48,480 --> 00:38:49,319 Speaker 2: It's undrinkable. 545 00:38:50,040 --> 00:38:55,920 Speaker 1: They're now threatening to hit these desalination plants. If iron 546 00:38:56,080 --> 00:39:02,839 Speaker 1: hits the desalination plants, then you're gonna talk about dehydration. 547 00:39:03,280 --> 00:39:03,960 Speaker 2: I mean, they can't. 548 00:39:04,160 --> 00:39:09,800 Speaker 1: For example, you take Katar, Qatar without desalination plants, they're finished. 549 00:39:10,600 --> 00:39:13,360 Speaker 1: They're gonna run out of water within a week. And 550 00:39:13,400 --> 00:39:16,240 Speaker 1: then without water, you're finished. You need you need water 551 00:39:16,280 --> 00:39:19,719 Speaker 1: to you know, to exist. So what Uran is now 552 00:39:19,800 --> 00:39:23,960 Speaker 1: saying is you hit our energy grid. What we're gonna 553 00:39:24,000 --> 00:39:28,560 Speaker 1: do is we're gonna launch a quote water war, and 554 00:39:28,719 --> 00:39:34,880 Speaker 1: they're talking now starvation, dehydration, and really the destruction of 555 00:39:34,920 --> 00:39:41,680 Speaker 1: the region. My question to you, knowing now the potential 556 00:39:41,800 --> 00:39:47,600 Speaker 1: risk that this is, should Trump continue or should he 557 00:39:47,680 --> 00:39:50,239 Speaker 1: try to find a way to end the war. Six 558 00:39:50,360 --> 00:39:54,279 Speaker 1: one seven two six six sixty eight sixty eight is 559 00:39:54,360 --> 00:40:01,080 Speaker 1: the number Brett in Maine. Thanks for holding Brett, and welcome. 560 00:40:02,719 --> 00:40:06,759 Speaker 5: Hi Jeff, Hi Brown. What you just said is exactly 561 00:40:06,800 --> 00:40:11,040 Speaker 5: what's going to happen. You shut off, you kill all 562 00:40:11,040 --> 00:40:14,440 Speaker 5: the electricity and the power. The Iranian people don't have 563 00:40:14,520 --> 00:40:17,359 Speaker 5: any way of communication. They don't not they don't They 564 00:40:17,360 --> 00:40:19,960 Speaker 5: won't have any way of finding out what the United 565 00:40:19,960 --> 00:40:22,640 Speaker 5: States is doing. All they know is that the United 566 00:40:22,680 --> 00:40:25,200 Speaker 5: States did this to us, The Great Satan did this 567 00:40:25,360 --> 00:40:31,239 Speaker 5: to us. And once Iran unleashes this water war that 568 00:40:31,280 --> 00:40:34,799 Speaker 5: you're talking about, the entire region friendly Muslim are not 569 00:40:35,040 --> 00:40:38,320 Speaker 5: is going to be against the Great Satan. This is 570 00:40:38,360 --> 00:40:42,240 Speaker 5: going to turn out really bad. And my main question, 571 00:40:42,680 --> 00:40:46,480 Speaker 5: or my main question about what Trump is doing is 572 00:40:47,200 --> 00:40:54,520 Speaker 5: Trump has already achieved his objectives of neutering them militarily, 573 00:40:55,040 --> 00:40:58,759 Speaker 5: their nuclear program and everything. Now he's escalating it to 574 00:40:58,840 --> 00:41:02,600 Speaker 5: regime change. Nothing good ever happens when you try to 575 00:41:02,719 --> 00:41:07,280 Speaker 5: change a regime. He needs to tell the American people 576 00:41:08,400 --> 00:41:12,200 Speaker 5: why is this in America's interest. He's the president of 577 00:41:12,239 --> 00:41:15,680 Speaker 5: the United States, not president of the world, not the 578 00:41:15,719 --> 00:41:20,840 Speaker 5: world policeman. He seems to take I don't know, joy 579 00:41:20,960 --> 00:41:25,320 Speaker 5: and getting getting involved in everybody else's situation. This should 580 00:41:25,360 --> 00:41:30,640 Speaker 5: be a a job for the United Nations. If the 581 00:41:30,760 --> 00:41:34,280 Speaker 5: United Nations was what it's supposed to be, it should 582 00:41:34,280 --> 00:41:37,560 Speaker 5: get the world against Iran, which they're not going to do. 583 00:41:37,680 --> 00:41:41,760 Speaker 5: But Trump is taking it upon himself to save the world. 584 00:41:42,320 --> 00:41:46,400 Speaker 5: He's president of the United States, not president of the world, 585 00:41:47,320 --> 00:41:50,160 Speaker 5: and he needs to let the United the people of 586 00:41:50,200 --> 00:41:54,279 Speaker 5: this country know why he's doing this and what's in 587 00:41:54,320 --> 00:41:59,400 Speaker 5: it for us. He's not doing that, Brett. 588 00:41:59,480 --> 00:42:01,920 Speaker 1: Let me ask this, what do you say again? Let 589 00:42:01,920 --> 00:42:04,880 Speaker 1: me just play devil's advocate, because this is what Trump 590 00:42:04,920 --> 00:42:07,600 Speaker 1: and others to be fair, it's not just Trump a 591 00:42:07,680 --> 00:42:10,440 Speaker 1: counter in these meetings that they have at the White House. 592 00:42:11,640 --> 00:42:14,799 Speaker 1: Can't we've won the war, Yes, we've won, there's no 593 00:42:14,920 --> 00:42:19,200 Speaker 1: question now objectively we've won the war. However, I can't 594 00:42:19,320 --> 00:42:24,239 Speaker 1: leave the Strait of horm Moose blocked. That will give 595 00:42:24,280 --> 00:42:27,520 Speaker 1: the Ayatolas not just a claim that they have won. 596 00:42:27,600 --> 00:42:31,440 Speaker 1: They withstood everything we had, they survive, the regime survives. 597 00:42:32,040 --> 00:42:37,759 Speaker 1: But now the most strategic waterway in the world, where 598 00:42:37,840 --> 00:42:42,760 Speaker 1: twenty percent twenty percent, one fifth of the world's oil 599 00:42:42,920 --> 00:42:46,759 Speaker 1: and liquefied natural gas goes through, is now in the 600 00:42:46,800 --> 00:42:50,799 Speaker 1: hands of the Mullas. And they're now even talking about 601 00:42:50,880 --> 00:42:55,040 Speaker 1: imposing a toll, which they never had before because it's 602 00:42:55,040 --> 00:42:58,560 Speaker 1: an international waterway. So now they're like their hand's going 603 00:42:58,600 --> 00:43:01,680 Speaker 1: to be even if it's possible, it will be even 604 00:43:01,760 --> 00:43:06,000 Speaker 1: strengthened by saying, not only did we, you know, take 605 00:43:06,080 --> 00:43:10,640 Speaker 1: everything they had to throw at us, but now Saudi 606 00:43:10,680 --> 00:43:14,680 Speaker 1: oil goes through our hands. Katari un you know, Kuwait, 607 00:43:14,840 --> 00:43:19,520 Speaker 1: United Arab Emirates, all of that rich oil and liquefied 608 00:43:19,600 --> 00:43:20,520 Speaker 1: natural gas. 609 00:43:20,960 --> 00:43:22,560 Speaker 2: We get a cut. 610 00:43:22,880 --> 00:43:25,000 Speaker 1: You don't pay us a tax, you don't pay us 611 00:43:25,040 --> 00:43:30,759 Speaker 1: a fee. Nothing goes through, and then they can rebuild overnight, 612 00:43:31,680 --> 00:43:34,560 Speaker 1: and then we're back at square one. So what do 613 00:43:34,600 --> 00:43:37,880 Speaker 1: you say to the argument that unless he unblocks the 614 00:43:37,920 --> 00:43:42,439 Speaker 1: Strait of Hormuse, he cannot declare victory and go home? 615 00:43:42,760 --> 00:43:43,360 Speaker 2: What say you? 616 00:43:44,920 --> 00:43:50,120 Speaker 5: Where is China in this? Where are they? They benefit 617 00:43:50,200 --> 00:43:52,239 Speaker 5: the most from the strait of for moose and the 618 00:43:52,239 --> 00:43:55,880 Speaker 5: oil sales and the goods. Where is China? They're silent? 619 00:43:56,960 --> 00:44:01,759 Speaker 5: Why aren't they joining us in the worldwide effort to 620 00:44:01,840 --> 00:44:07,680 Speaker 5: stop this? They're nowhere? Why isn't it important to them? 621 00:44:08,200 --> 00:44:09,720 Speaker 5: And it's so important to Trump? 622 00:44:12,920 --> 00:44:13,400 Speaker 2: Interesting? 623 00:44:14,120 --> 00:44:18,399 Speaker 1: Interesting, Brett, Thank you very much for that call. 624 00:44:18,480 --> 00:44:19,640 Speaker 2: I really appreciate it. 625 00:44:20,040 --> 00:44:23,799 Speaker 1: Six one seven two sixty six sixty eight sixty eight 626 00:44:24,040 --> 00:44:28,640 Speaker 1: is the number. Okay, President Trump now has given really 627 00:44:28,680 --> 00:44:32,799 Speaker 1: the mother of all ultimatums. He now has told the Ayatolas, 628 00:44:33,280 --> 00:44:37,360 Speaker 1: you have until midnight tonight unblocked the Strait of Hormuz. 629 00:44:37,800 --> 00:44:42,760 Speaker 1: If you don't, I will obliterate his words, your power plants, 630 00:44:42,920 --> 00:44:47,120 Speaker 1: basically your entire electric power grid, and I will start 631 00:44:47,160 --> 00:44:53,040 Speaker 1: with your biggest plant. So it's he's telling him, I'm 632 00:44:53,040 --> 00:44:56,600 Speaker 1: taking the lights out. There will be no power in Iran. 633 00:44:56,680 --> 00:45:01,359 Speaker 1: You can't run a thing. So he now says he's 634 00:45:01,400 --> 00:45:08,080 Speaker 1: gonna go Thunderdome on Iran and basically devastate now their 635 00:45:08,120 --> 00:45:13,080 Speaker 1: civilian infrastructure. My question to you, and with troops now 636 00:45:13,160 --> 00:45:16,160 Speaker 1: pouring in, we don't know what's gonna happen, but now 637 00:45:16,239 --> 00:45:22,240 Speaker 1: about five thousand troops are now rushing towards maybe carg Island. 638 00:45:22,280 --> 00:45:22,839 Speaker 2: We don't know. 639 00:45:22,920 --> 00:45:27,360 Speaker 1: He may just use him as leverage in negotiations with 640 00:45:27,400 --> 00:45:30,800 Speaker 1: the Ayatolas and just have them there on vessels waiting. 641 00:45:31,400 --> 00:45:33,439 Speaker 2: But whatever it is, it is. 642 00:45:33,360 --> 00:45:38,759 Speaker 1: Now raising the specter of a huge battle over Hormouse. 643 00:45:39,600 --> 00:45:42,680 Speaker 1: The Mulla say no way, they are not gonna comply 644 00:45:42,800 --> 00:45:45,839 Speaker 1: with the ultimatum. In fact, they say they're gonna launch 645 00:45:45,920 --> 00:45:49,760 Speaker 1: counter attacks and wipe out the energy grid of every 646 00:45:49,800 --> 00:45:55,799 Speaker 1: neighboring country, especially their desalination plants, meaning you can't drink 647 00:45:55,840 --> 00:46:00,160 Speaker 1: clean water. You don't drink clean water, you're gonna essentially die. 648 00:46:00,680 --> 00:46:04,800 Speaker 1: So the Mullas now are saying basically the Samson option. 649 00:46:05,680 --> 00:46:08,320 Speaker 1: We're going to take the whole damn region down with US. 650 00:46:09,960 --> 00:46:13,839 Speaker 1: Six one seven two six six sixty eight sixty eight 651 00:46:14,120 --> 00:46:17,800 Speaker 1: is the number CJ in Boston. 652 00:46:18,160 --> 00:46:22,480 Speaker 2: Thanks for holding CJ, and welcome, yeah for. 653 00:46:22,560 --> 00:46:25,680 Speaker 9: Cllling to a report just out a few hours ago 654 00:46:26,000 --> 00:46:29,000 Speaker 9: by the New York Times, the Israelis have already begun 655 00:46:29,600 --> 00:46:33,600 Speaker 9: to attack their infrastructure. There large portions of Tehran. The 656 00:46:33,719 --> 00:46:37,799 Speaker 9: lights are already out. So what has happened? Uh is 657 00:46:37,840 --> 00:46:42,120 Speaker 9: happening already as we speak. Should President Trump back down 658 00:46:42,280 --> 00:46:46,319 Speaker 9: from them, he would amit of be a cow. What 659 00:46:46,400 --> 00:46:49,239 Speaker 9: they need to do is we can't go tit for 660 00:46:49,320 --> 00:46:53,520 Speaker 9: tat with this country. We have to completely annihilate these people. 661 00:46:54,280 --> 00:46:57,360 Speaker 9: There's only two ways you can win award Jeff. One 662 00:46:57,440 --> 00:47:00,719 Speaker 9: one is by unconditional surrender, and the other is by 663 00:47:00,760 --> 00:47:02,880 Speaker 9: taking the country over. We're not going to be taking 664 00:47:02,920 --> 00:47:05,520 Speaker 9: this country over. I do not believe they should be 665 00:47:05,560 --> 00:47:08,920 Speaker 9: boots in the ground. However, I believe that those marines 666 00:47:10,160 --> 00:47:13,600 Speaker 9: land on Cogg's Islands should secure that island should secure 667 00:47:13,600 --> 00:47:17,000 Speaker 9: the amount of oil going in and out of there. 668 00:47:17,680 --> 00:47:21,680 Speaker 9: And that's exactly what the Americans should be doing, is 669 00:47:21,760 --> 00:47:25,719 Speaker 9: charging a toll going through there. Your previous caller, you 670 00:47:25,800 --> 00:47:28,520 Speaker 9: have to understand it would be great if China became 671 00:47:28,560 --> 00:47:31,840 Speaker 9: our ally and got involved. They're getting ninety percent of 672 00:47:31,840 --> 00:47:34,440 Speaker 9: their oil from Iran. The reason why they're not getting 673 00:47:34,480 --> 00:47:38,800 Speaker 9: involved by not getting their oil from Iran, they're getting 674 00:47:38,880 --> 00:47:40,120 Speaker 9: oil on the internet. 675 00:47:41,360 --> 00:47:43,640 Speaker 2: CJ.
