1 00:00:00,240 --> 00:00:08,600 Speaker 1: Good morning, corner country. Okay, my friends, very very dramatic 2 00:00:08,640 --> 00:00:14,200 Speaker 1: developments now in the war with Iran. The Ayatolas now 3 00:00:14,360 --> 00:00:18,400 Speaker 1: are in serious, serious trouble. The regime now is on 4 00:00:18,440 --> 00:00:22,599 Speaker 1: the brink of potential defeat and collapse. So here is 5 00:00:22,640 --> 00:00:26,760 Speaker 1: now the absolute latest as I speak to you now, 6 00:00:27,720 --> 00:00:32,960 Speaker 1: after another day of relentless bombing and missile attacks by 7 00:00:33,000 --> 00:00:37,960 Speaker 1: both Israel and the United States, Iran's air defenses have 8 00:00:38,120 --> 00:00:48,520 Speaker 1: been absolutely demolished, systematically dismantled, degraded, demolished. Iran's navy, much 9 00:00:48,560 --> 00:00:52,000 Speaker 1: of it now sits at the bottom of the Persian Gulf. 10 00:00:53,880 --> 00:00:57,560 Speaker 1: It took decades for Iran to build up a navy 11 00:00:57,600 --> 00:00:59,080 Speaker 1: in order to project power. 12 00:00:59,720 --> 00:01:04,240 Speaker 2: It is now gone in four days of war. Furthermore, 13 00:01:04,360 --> 00:01:06,840 Speaker 2: and this is the part now that really is showing 14 00:01:06,840 --> 00:01:12,640 Speaker 2: the weakness of the Iranian regime. Apparently now both Israel 15 00:01:13,000 --> 00:01:19,440 Speaker 2: and the United States have complete air superiority, air dominance. 16 00:01:20,280 --> 00:01:25,800 Speaker 2: They have now basically completely taken over the skies over 17 00:01:25,880 --> 00:01:30,840 Speaker 2: all of Iran. They are now pounding the Iranians, hitting 18 00:01:31,000 --> 00:01:37,839 Speaker 2: every single key military, nuclear, political target you can think 19 00:01:37,880 --> 00:01:44,240 Speaker 2: of around the clock. It is systematic carpet bombing the 20 00:01:44,240 --> 00:01:49,800 Speaker 2: Iranians now are lashing out desperately like a chicken without 21 00:01:49,800 --> 00:01:51,560 Speaker 2: a head. And I'm going to get to this a 22 00:01:51,560 --> 00:01:55,080 Speaker 2: little bit later in the show. Obviously, now they're losing 23 00:01:55,160 --> 00:02:01,080 Speaker 2: their command in control. They are now launching furiously drone attacks, 24 00:02:01,440 --> 00:02:05,720 Speaker 2: missile attacks. Most of them are missing. They're not hitting 25 00:02:05,760 --> 00:02:08,960 Speaker 2: their targets, far from it. The few that do get 26 00:02:09,000 --> 00:02:13,280 Speaker 2: through are the air defenses that we have protecting the 27 00:02:13,360 --> 00:02:18,519 Speaker 2: Gulf nations. Iran's neighbors are hitting parking lots, or they're 28 00:02:18,560 --> 00:02:23,080 Speaker 2: hitting civilian areas, or they're hitting hotels, and all they're 29 00:02:23,120 --> 00:02:32,799 Speaker 2: doing is alienating and enraging Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, United Arab Emirates, Bahrain. 30 00:02:33,000 --> 00:02:35,560 Speaker 2: I could run down the whole list. The entire Gulf 31 00:02:36,240 --> 00:02:40,880 Speaker 2: is now unifying against them. Hell, they attacked our consulate 32 00:02:40,960 --> 00:02:44,799 Speaker 2: in Dubai, and how did they do this? The idiots 33 00:02:44,880 --> 00:02:49,080 Speaker 2: launched an attack that landed in the freaking parking lot. 34 00:02:50,360 --> 00:02:53,120 Speaker 2: I mean, it's not even that it's killing American personnel. 35 00:02:53,200 --> 00:02:55,520 Speaker 2: And don't get me wrong, I'm so happy about that, 36 00:02:56,240 --> 00:03:00,880 Speaker 2: but it shows you how weak and ineffective Ranian counter 37 00:03:01,000 --> 00:03:04,840 Speaker 2: attack has been. Now this is even now the bigger development. 38 00:03:05,840 --> 00:03:10,160 Speaker 2: Apparently now the Israelis, and of course are incredible men 39 00:03:10,480 --> 00:03:12,840 Speaker 2: in our Air force, men and women in our Air force. 40 00:03:13,680 --> 00:03:19,359 Speaker 2: We are not only degrading Iran's air defenses, have demolished 41 00:03:19,360 --> 00:03:23,440 Speaker 2: them and their navy, but we have now destroyed much 42 00:03:23,440 --> 00:03:27,520 Speaker 2: of their ballistic missile capability. Much of their hundreds of 43 00:03:27,560 --> 00:03:32,800 Speaker 2: ballistic missiles have now been smashed and destroyed. And Iran 44 00:03:32,960 --> 00:03:37,200 Speaker 2: now has fired so many of their own missiles that 45 00:03:37,360 --> 00:03:41,680 Speaker 2: their stockpile is now down to about forty maybe even 46 00:03:41,760 --> 00:03:47,240 Speaker 2: thirty percent. So not only are their missiles missing their targets, 47 00:03:48,200 --> 00:03:53,680 Speaker 2: not only are they swinging wildly and desperately and enraging 48 00:03:54,640 --> 00:03:58,240 Speaker 2: and turning all of their neighbors against them, but they're 49 00:03:58,360 --> 00:04:03,080 Speaker 2: literally running out of ammunition. They're running out of naval ships, 50 00:04:03,640 --> 00:04:07,040 Speaker 2: they're running out of ballistic missiles. They have no more 51 00:04:07,080 --> 00:04:09,960 Speaker 2: their fighter jets. Now, almost every fighter jet in the 52 00:04:10,000 --> 00:04:14,440 Speaker 2: Iranian Air Force has now been taken out. Their air defenses, 53 00:04:14,480 --> 00:04:19,240 Speaker 2: as I said, have been utterly obliterated. Iran now is 54 00:04:19,360 --> 00:04:23,880 Speaker 2: basically I don't want to get over confident, but Iran 55 00:04:24,000 --> 00:04:27,279 Speaker 2: now is almost defenseless now, they still have a few 56 00:04:27,320 --> 00:04:29,800 Speaker 2: aces up their sleeve. I don't want to be as 57 00:04:29,839 --> 00:04:32,120 Speaker 2: I said, get ahead of my you know, get over 58 00:04:32,160 --> 00:04:34,760 Speaker 2: my skis and get ahead of myself. But as I 59 00:04:34,839 --> 00:04:39,040 Speaker 2: speak to you now, as President Trump revealed yesterday, it's 60 00:04:39,080 --> 00:04:42,080 Speaker 2: not just that they're running out of missiles and that 61 00:04:42,160 --> 00:04:45,560 Speaker 2: we've destroyed so many of their missiles, but we have 62 00:04:45,640 --> 00:04:51,200 Speaker 2: now destroyed many of their missile launchers. So they have 63 00:04:51,320 --> 00:04:55,000 Speaker 2: few missiles left, and they're losing the capability to even 64 00:04:55,120 --> 00:04:59,839 Speaker 2: fire what's left or remaining of their dwindling and diminishing stock. 65 00:05:00,960 --> 00:05:07,120 Speaker 2: So what this means effectively is that the regime militarily 66 00:05:07,839 --> 00:05:12,040 Speaker 2: is now completely on the ropes. They are being shredded, 67 00:05:12,680 --> 00:05:16,840 Speaker 2: they are being eviscerated, they are being torn apart, and 68 00:05:16,960 --> 00:05:22,440 Speaker 2: on top of this, their command and control is now 69 00:05:22,520 --> 00:05:26,680 Speaker 2: starting to break down. And this is what many experts 70 00:05:26,720 --> 00:05:31,320 Speaker 2: are now saying, both Israeli and US, including obviously our 71 00:05:31,440 --> 00:05:34,000 Speaker 2: chief men and our men, the men of our chiefs 72 00:05:34,279 --> 00:05:36,280 Speaker 2: who are in our chief of staff, the joint chiefs 73 00:05:36,279 --> 00:05:40,720 Speaker 2: of staff, are saying, the reason why you are watching 74 00:05:40,800 --> 00:05:45,159 Speaker 2: these wild missile attacks that are missing that make almost 75 00:05:45,279 --> 00:05:49,880 Speaker 2: no sense. You know, lobbing missiles into Saudi Arabia, or 76 00:05:49,960 --> 00:05:55,840 Speaker 2: lobbing missiles into Kuwait or Dubai is almost as if 77 00:05:56,040 --> 00:06:01,600 Speaker 2: the regime has been decapitated. And now they gave out 78 00:06:01,640 --> 00:06:05,960 Speaker 2: instructions before the bombing campaign. Okay, should the Supreme leader 79 00:06:06,040 --> 00:06:08,960 Speaker 2: be taken out, we want you to target this country, 80 00:06:09,000 --> 00:06:12,120 Speaker 2: and then you target this country. In other words, orders 81 00:06:12,160 --> 00:06:16,880 Speaker 2: given to the military, and they're just blindly, almost stupidly, 82 00:06:17,880 --> 00:06:22,640 Speaker 2: just saying, okay, let's attack Bahrain, throw a missile somewhere. 83 00:06:23,200 --> 00:06:27,320 Speaker 2: Let's okay, No, let's attack the UAE. Go ahead, just 84 00:06:27,400 --> 00:06:32,360 Speaker 2: launch a missile somewhere. You're starting to see now the 85 00:06:33,480 --> 00:06:37,960 Speaker 2: beginnings of the collapse of their entire command and control structure. 86 00:06:39,000 --> 00:06:42,719 Speaker 2: As I speak to you now, and please listen to 87 00:06:42,800 --> 00:06:46,039 Speaker 2: this very carefully, because this is what we've done, the 88 00:06:46,160 --> 00:06:50,479 Speaker 2: United States and Israel in a spectacular military operation. So far, 89 00:06:51,279 --> 00:06:54,320 Speaker 2: this I don't want to jump the gun, but this 90 00:06:54,360 --> 00:06:57,800 Speaker 2: could be one of the greatest military operations in human history. 91 00:06:58,000 --> 00:07:00,479 Speaker 2: It's not over yet, so I don't want to know. Again, 92 00:07:00,560 --> 00:07:05,240 Speaker 2: I don't want to be premature. Iran is now deaf, 93 00:07:06,400 --> 00:07:13,400 Speaker 2: blind and dumb. Their telecommunication system has also been knocked out. 94 00:07:14,320 --> 00:07:19,040 Speaker 2: They cannot communicate with each other. The military cannot communicate 95 00:07:19,040 --> 00:07:23,760 Speaker 2: with the political leadership, the religious leadership cannot communicate with 96 00:07:23,800 --> 00:07:27,560 Speaker 2: the political or the military leadership. They are now flailing 97 00:07:28,320 --> 00:07:33,560 Speaker 2: on top of all of this. President Trump yesterday and 98 00:07:33,800 --> 00:07:36,760 Speaker 2: I made this point on x this could be a 99 00:07:36,840 --> 00:07:42,880 Speaker 2: fundamental game changer. Rather than have us commit our boots 100 00:07:42,960 --> 00:07:48,280 Speaker 2: on the ground, President Trump now said yesterday that he 101 00:07:48,440 --> 00:07:55,760 Speaker 2: is seriously considering arming the internal opposition within Iran, sending 102 00:07:55,800 --> 00:08:02,200 Speaker 2: them weapons, training, intelligence, and then have the Iranians or 103 00:08:02,200 --> 00:08:07,240 Speaker 2: the Iranian opposition, the Iranian people, overthrow the Mullahs from 104 00:08:07,280 --> 00:08:14,600 Speaker 2: the inside. Don't impose someone from the outside them. Have 105 00:08:14,720 --> 00:08:18,760 Speaker 2: them take take over the government and topple the Ayatolas 106 00:08:19,120 --> 00:08:24,520 Speaker 2: from the inside. And in particular, look out now for 107 00:08:24,600 --> 00:08:29,160 Speaker 2: the Kurds. The Kurds, there is a significant minority of 108 00:08:29,320 --> 00:08:33,559 Speaker 2: Kurds within Iran. By the way, many people don't know this. 109 00:08:34,280 --> 00:08:38,280 Speaker 2: About half the population of Iran, give or take, is 110 00:08:38,400 --> 00:08:43,280 Speaker 2: non Persian. It's half Persian, but it's non The other 111 00:08:43,320 --> 00:08:47,880 Speaker 2: half is non Persian. It consists of minorities like the Kurds, 112 00:08:48,440 --> 00:08:52,120 Speaker 2: or like the Aziris, or like the Alo Whites, or 113 00:08:53,000 --> 00:08:59,199 Speaker 2: there are others other minorities, the Pashtun. So these groups 114 00:09:00,000 --> 00:09:06,319 Speaker 2: despised Tehran, despise. The Iyatolas have felt oppressed by them 115 00:09:06,360 --> 00:09:11,400 Speaker 2: going back fifty years. They are potentially ready to revolt 116 00:09:11,840 --> 00:09:17,520 Speaker 2: and lead a military insurgency against the Mullas. The Kurds 117 00:09:17,600 --> 00:09:22,640 Speaker 2: in particular are itching to overthrow the rule of the 118 00:09:22,720 --> 00:09:26,720 Speaker 2: Mullus and what Israel and the United States have been doing. 119 00:09:27,400 --> 00:09:31,800 Speaker 2: If you look at a map, Iran is adjacent to Iraq. 120 00:09:32,760 --> 00:09:35,920 Speaker 2: Northern Iraq, as you know, is a Kurdish stronghold. They 121 00:09:35,920 --> 00:09:40,640 Speaker 2: have basically an autonomous Kurdish entity and they have they 122 00:09:40,679 --> 00:09:44,320 Speaker 2: share a border with Iran. The western part of Iran 123 00:09:44,640 --> 00:09:49,640 Speaker 2: is full of that Kurdish minority within Iran. Israel and 124 00:09:49,679 --> 00:09:56,160 Speaker 2: the United States have been carpet bombing western Iran, taking 125 00:09:56,200 --> 00:10:03,119 Speaker 2: out every military site possible, taking out every military base possible. 126 00:10:03,559 --> 00:10:07,760 Speaker 2: It is almost as if they are paving a path 127 00:10:09,000 --> 00:10:12,440 Speaker 2: for the Kurds to be able then to lead a 128 00:10:12,559 --> 00:10:17,720 Speaker 2: military insurgency that will go straight into Tehran and take 129 00:10:17,800 --> 00:10:23,480 Speaker 2: out the Iatolas. So, in plain English, if we arm 130 00:10:23,559 --> 00:10:27,480 Speaker 2: the Kurds and other groups, but with the Kurds maybe 131 00:10:27,520 --> 00:10:31,480 Speaker 2: taking the lead, we have the boots now on the 132 00:10:31,520 --> 00:10:36,679 Speaker 2: ground for the final phase of the operation, the overthrow 133 00:10:36,840 --> 00:10:41,520 Speaker 2: of the Iyatolas and hopefully a new pro American government 134 00:10:41,679 --> 00:10:47,360 Speaker 2: in Tehran. President Trump yesterday said that the remnants of 135 00:10:47,440 --> 00:10:52,319 Speaker 2: the regime have reached out to him to talk. They 136 00:10:52,360 --> 00:10:56,320 Speaker 2: are now willing to make a deal. Trump is now 137 00:10:56,400 --> 00:11:01,000 Speaker 2: said the time for talk is over. You had your chance. 138 00:11:01,440 --> 00:11:05,280 Speaker 2: You blew it. Six one seven two six, six sixty 139 00:11:05,280 --> 00:11:08,240 Speaker 2: eight sixty eight is the number. Okay, a couple lines 140 00:11:08,280 --> 00:11:10,520 Speaker 2: are still open. Once the lines are loaded, I want 141 00:11:10,559 --> 00:11:13,439 Speaker 2: to go right to the calls. Let me ask all 142 00:11:13,480 --> 00:11:16,040 Speaker 2: of you. I can't believe I'm even asking this question. 143 00:11:16,760 --> 00:11:16,960 Speaker 3: Uh. 144 00:11:17,000 --> 00:11:19,200 Speaker 2: And again, I don't want to be premature about this. 145 00:11:20,120 --> 00:11:23,800 Speaker 2: But President Trump reiterated again yesterday, he goes, we're really 146 00:11:23,840 --> 00:11:26,560 Speaker 2: ahead of schedule. We were looking at a four or 147 00:11:26,559 --> 00:11:30,400 Speaker 2: five week war. It's going quicker than we could have 148 00:11:30,480 --> 00:11:35,480 Speaker 2: ever imagined. You've got now some people that I respect anyway, 149 00:11:35,960 --> 00:11:38,880 Speaker 2: who have a record of predicting these things that tends 150 00:11:38,920 --> 00:11:42,040 Speaker 2: to be pretty accurate. They're saying this thing could be 151 00:11:42,080 --> 00:11:45,959 Speaker 2: over in a week. Not maybe not by the end 152 00:11:45,960 --> 00:11:49,319 Speaker 2: of this week. That's a bit too optimistic, but maybe 153 00:11:49,360 --> 00:11:53,720 Speaker 2: another week. In other words, by next week. In other words, 154 00:11:54,000 --> 00:11:57,800 Speaker 2: we're looking at a two week campaign. I mean, it's 155 00:11:57,840 --> 00:12:01,120 Speaker 2: just it's it's it's incredible to speed by which the 156 00:12:01,160 --> 00:12:05,400 Speaker 2: Iranians are just collapsing on every front. Now, I just 157 00:12:05,440 --> 00:12:08,240 Speaker 2: want to make two other very important points that you 158 00:12:08,360 --> 00:12:10,440 Speaker 2: need to be aware of, and then I want to 159 00:12:10,480 --> 00:12:13,480 Speaker 2: go to the calls six one seven two six six 160 00:12:13,840 --> 00:12:18,839 Speaker 2: sixty eight sixty eight number one. President Trump was adamant 161 00:12:19,040 --> 00:12:23,720 Speaker 2: yesterday that despite the fact that he's very well known, 162 00:12:24,320 --> 00:12:28,640 Speaker 2: obviously a highly cultured, civilized man, Trump himself said, look, 163 00:12:28,679 --> 00:12:31,840 Speaker 2: he's a very nice person. I've spoken to him, very 164 00:12:32,000 --> 00:12:36,720 Speaker 2: you know, highly educated, ierdite learned, a patriot, loves Iran, 165 00:12:36,840 --> 00:12:40,880 Speaker 2: the Iranian people. The son of the Shaw, the crown Prince. 166 00:12:41,920 --> 00:12:45,720 Speaker 2: Trump says, he's not our guy. He's not a big 167 00:12:45,760 --> 00:12:48,880 Speaker 2: fan of having him come back to Iran or having 168 00:12:48,960 --> 00:12:52,480 Speaker 2: us install him in power to replace the Mullahs. He 169 00:12:52,559 --> 00:12:58,400 Speaker 2: says the reason is he lacks enough popularity within Iran itself. 170 00:12:59,040 --> 00:13:01,640 Speaker 2: There are still many Iranians. And look, the Shaw was 171 00:13:01,760 --> 00:13:05,360 Speaker 2: much better than the Mullahs, Okay, his father, for all 172 00:13:05,400 --> 00:13:09,040 Speaker 2: of the father's flaws, Believe me, it was infinitely better 173 00:13:09,080 --> 00:13:14,680 Speaker 2: than what came after. However, to be fair, the father, 174 00:13:15,120 --> 00:13:18,160 Speaker 2: the original Shaw that was overthrown in nineteen seventy nine, 175 00:13:18,880 --> 00:13:23,720 Speaker 2: ran a very brutal secret police and he cracked down 176 00:13:24,160 --> 00:13:29,040 Speaker 2: very very hard on dissidence on opponents, not just on 177 00:13:29,280 --> 00:13:34,040 Speaker 2: Muslim fundamentalists, but even some of these non Persian groups 178 00:13:34,640 --> 00:13:38,080 Speaker 2: that now potentially we can arm as part of a 179 00:13:38,120 --> 00:13:42,640 Speaker 2: broad based insurgency there. And so he says, look, he's 180 00:13:42,640 --> 00:13:46,320 Speaker 2: still a very divisive figure in Iran. Many people, even 181 00:13:46,360 --> 00:13:50,360 Speaker 2: those that oppose the Mullahs, have bad memories of the Shaw. 182 00:13:51,000 --> 00:13:53,839 Speaker 2: They don't like the idea of him being the crown 183 00:13:53,920 --> 00:13:58,880 Speaker 2: Prince again. And so President Trump is saying, he's not 184 00:13:59,040 --> 00:14:02,800 Speaker 2: my guy, nice man. I hope he returns to Iran. 185 00:14:03,520 --> 00:14:06,120 Speaker 2: I hope he lives out his days very comfortably. But 186 00:14:06,720 --> 00:14:10,080 Speaker 2: he's not the man to lead the transition to a 187 00:14:10,120 --> 00:14:15,000 Speaker 2: new era. So Trump is putting cold water on the 188 00:14:16,120 --> 00:14:21,320 Speaker 2: son of the shop the Crown Prince being the person 189 00:14:21,400 --> 00:14:25,960 Speaker 2: that we will pass the baton off in order to 190 00:14:26,240 --> 00:14:29,240 Speaker 2: put in a new regime and a new political leadership 191 00:14:29,560 --> 00:14:32,200 Speaker 2: in Iran. So just so that you know he's still 192 00:14:32,200 --> 00:14:37,000 Speaker 2: looking now, what he has clearly stated, and you tell 193 00:14:37,000 --> 00:14:40,040 Speaker 2: me if you agree or disagree, is that he really 194 00:14:40,080 --> 00:14:43,680 Speaker 2: wants the Venezuela model. He said he thinks it's worked 195 00:14:43,760 --> 00:14:48,680 Speaker 2: very well in Venezuela. What is the Venezuela model, decapitate 196 00:14:49,040 --> 00:14:54,680 Speaker 2: the top leadership of a regime, but still keep enough 197 00:14:54,760 --> 00:14:59,400 Speaker 2: of it intact, so you don't have the kind of 198 00:14:59,520 --> 00:15:02,720 Speaker 2: anarchy he or chaos that you saw, say any rock. 199 00:15:03,760 --> 00:15:07,680 Speaker 2: So you look at Venezuela. Now much of the Maduro 200 00:15:07,760 --> 00:15:12,160 Speaker 2: regime is still there. His vice president is technically running 201 00:15:12,200 --> 00:15:16,440 Speaker 2: the country, so you still have some stability in the government. 202 00:15:16,960 --> 00:15:20,520 Speaker 2: You don't have an absolute free for all where opposition 203 00:15:20,640 --> 00:15:23,640 Speaker 2: groups are fighting with the remnants of the regime. So 204 00:15:23,880 --> 00:15:28,600 Speaker 2: he's looking for a successor someone within the current Mulla 205 00:15:28,680 --> 00:15:32,840 Speaker 2: regime that could potentially more of a quote unquote moderate 206 00:15:33,560 --> 00:15:36,480 Speaker 2: who is willing to maybe work with the United States. 207 00:15:37,320 --> 00:15:40,120 Speaker 2: He says. The problem, and it was almost funny yesterday, 208 00:15:41,000 --> 00:15:43,600 Speaker 2: is that he goes, well, we keep killing them, you know, 209 00:15:43,680 --> 00:15:47,240 Speaker 2: in bombing raid after bombing raid after bombing raid. So 210 00:15:47,280 --> 00:15:50,280 Speaker 2: he says, it's getting to the point now I don't 211 00:15:50,280 --> 00:15:52,360 Speaker 2: even know if we can find somebody from the current 212 00:15:52,440 --> 00:15:57,720 Speaker 2: leadership because they're all dead. So he still says, I'm 213 00:15:57,800 --> 00:16:02,880 Speaker 2: still looking for the right person to step in and 214 00:16:03,320 --> 00:16:07,359 Speaker 2: you know, replace this the ayatola and provide some stability 215 00:16:07,440 --> 00:16:11,520 Speaker 2: so the country doesn't break apart. My question to you 216 00:16:13,720 --> 00:16:17,760 Speaker 2: how far should Trump go in terms of regime change, 217 00:16:18,840 --> 00:16:23,160 Speaker 2: should we try to hand pick a successor or do 218 00:16:23,240 --> 00:16:25,760 Speaker 2: you think ultimately this is going to have to be 219 00:16:25,840 --> 00:16:30,480 Speaker 2: handled by the Iranian people themselves. Okay, I rarely do this. 220 00:16:32,000 --> 00:16:34,920 Speaker 2: I always like to have a nice fresh question for 221 00:16:35,000 --> 00:16:38,080 Speaker 2: the audience, which you know, I think is a good 222 00:16:38,240 --> 00:16:41,000 Speaker 2: way to start a nice discussion, and then have something 223 00:16:41,000 --> 00:16:44,040 Speaker 2: a little separate for the pole question. But really, I 224 00:16:44,040 --> 00:16:47,280 Speaker 2: think today's pole question is the question of the hour. 225 00:16:48,640 --> 00:16:50,800 Speaker 2: And I can't believe I'm saying this within four days 226 00:16:50,800 --> 00:16:53,680 Speaker 2: of war, which just tells you again just how brilliant 227 00:16:54,440 --> 00:17:00,239 Speaker 2: and efficient and just well trained and professional are military 228 00:17:00,280 --> 00:17:03,440 Speaker 2: and the Israeli military are. I mean, it's just really 229 00:17:03,480 --> 00:17:05,960 Speaker 2: you got it. Whatever you think of this, agree, disagree 230 00:17:05,960 --> 00:17:10,040 Speaker 2: with the war, the conduct so far has been just 231 00:17:10,160 --> 00:17:15,040 Speaker 2: absolutely incredible. When you combine our air force with Israel's 232 00:17:15,040 --> 00:17:20,320 Speaker 2: air force, our technology with their technology, our military with 233 00:17:20,440 --> 00:17:24,800 Speaker 2: their military, what they are displaying right now. Again, I 234 00:17:24,840 --> 00:17:27,239 Speaker 2: don't want to jump the gun. It's still you know, 235 00:17:27,320 --> 00:17:30,400 Speaker 2: nothing has been signed yet, it's not over. We're still 236 00:17:30,400 --> 00:17:33,399 Speaker 2: in the middle of a war. But what we've seen 237 00:17:33,400 --> 00:17:36,200 Speaker 2: in the first four days, this is going to go 238 00:17:36,320 --> 00:17:39,159 Speaker 2: down as one of the most impressive military campaigns in 239 00:17:39,240 --> 00:17:44,800 Speaker 2: human history. There's no question, and so my question to 240 00:17:44,880 --> 00:17:48,440 Speaker 2: all of you. It is the Kooner country Pole Question 241 00:17:48,760 --> 00:17:55,480 Speaker 2: of the Day sponsored by Marios Marios Quality roofing, siding 242 00:17:55,600 --> 00:18:02,720 Speaker 2: and windows. Will the US war or to be more accurate, 243 00:18:02,760 --> 00:18:09,160 Speaker 2: the US slash Israel war with Iran? Will it result 244 00:18:09,560 --> 00:18:17,280 Speaker 2: in a regime change? Meaning the Ayatolas, the Mullah's, the 245 00:18:17,359 --> 00:18:23,320 Speaker 2: Islamic Republic that they created in nineteen seventeen, is that 246 00:18:23,440 --> 00:18:27,600 Speaker 2: going to now be gone? Will it lead to regime 247 00:18:27,720 --> 00:18:31,640 Speaker 2: change and the end of the Mollahs and the Ayatolas 248 00:18:33,320 --> 00:18:40,879 Speaker 2: or b something similar to Venezuela. Will there be a 249 00:18:41,560 --> 00:18:45,879 Speaker 2: intact regime? In other words, will the Mollahs manage to 250 00:18:46,000 --> 00:18:50,880 Speaker 2: retain power? Obviously the you know Alija many the supreme 251 00:18:50,960 --> 00:18:56,040 Speaker 2: leader is dead. Many of the leadership are dead. It's 252 00:18:56,080 --> 00:18:59,200 Speaker 2: going to be a different regime, a much weakened regime. Again, 253 00:18:59,280 --> 00:19:03,440 Speaker 2: like Venezuela, uh Maduro's people are still technically running the country, 254 00:19:04,400 --> 00:19:08,679 Speaker 2: but the top guy is gone. The character of the 255 00:19:08,720 --> 00:19:13,439 Speaker 2: government is different. In other words, will we see the 256 00:19:13,560 --> 00:19:21,240 Speaker 2: Mullas somehow cling to power obviously defanged, gutted, neotered, weakened 257 00:19:22,000 --> 00:19:27,400 Speaker 2: but still technically in control of the government. So A 258 00:19:27,400 --> 00:19:33,720 Speaker 2: a full regime change. B. The Mulla's somehow holding onto 259 00:19:33,800 --> 00:19:39,399 Speaker 2: power in a weakened capacity. A B. I want to 260 00:19:39,400 --> 00:19:42,320 Speaker 2: hear from you. You can vote on our web page 261 00:19:42,920 --> 00:19:47,960 Speaker 2: WRKO dot com slash cooner w r KO dot com 262 00:19:47,960 --> 00:19:52,480 Speaker 2: slash cooner kuh And as in national er. You can 263 00:19:52,520 --> 00:19:55,399 Speaker 2: also vote via x and. Again, I was very active 264 00:19:55,400 --> 00:19:59,800 Speaker 2: on x MY last night talking specifically about now this 265 00:20:00,080 --> 00:20:05,840 Speaker 2: plan to potentially arm the Kurds for an internal military 266 00:20:05,960 --> 00:20:10,840 Speaker 2: insurgency to topple the regime. It's a huge development and 267 00:20:10,920 --> 00:20:14,040 Speaker 2: we'll see what happens, but this, as I said, could 268 00:20:14,080 --> 00:20:17,920 Speaker 2: be a fundamental game changer. Anyway, you can vote the 269 00:20:18,320 --> 00:20:22,440 Speaker 2: x my handle. There all one word at the Kooner Report. 270 00:20:22,880 --> 00:20:28,720 Speaker 2: At the Kooner Report, kuh And is a national er. 271 00:20:29,600 --> 00:20:33,399 Speaker 2: Vince in Deutsch Lan in Germany. You're going to kick 272 00:20:33,480 --> 00:20:36,760 Speaker 2: us off, Vince And as always, welcome. 273 00:20:38,760 --> 00:20:41,720 Speaker 3: Yes, chef arm the Kurds. That's a great idea. 274 00:20:41,760 --> 00:20:42,879 Speaker 4: You know who's going to love that. 275 00:20:43,080 --> 00:20:47,400 Speaker 3: It's the Turk and Urdawan ur NATO ally they'll love that. 276 00:20:48,000 --> 00:20:51,800 Speaker 3: Because if you were to encompass a Kurdistan. It would 277 00:20:51,880 --> 00:20:56,160 Speaker 3: take most of eastern Turkey, all of northern Iraq, and 278 00:20:56,359 --> 00:21:03,000 Speaker 3: a good portion of northwestern Persia. Don't you see that? 279 00:21:03,040 --> 00:21:04,760 Speaker 3: It doesn't It seem like they're kind of just shooting 280 00:21:04,800 --> 00:21:05,960 Speaker 3: from the hip with this thing. 281 00:21:06,080 --> 00:21:09,320 Speaker 4: Like Israel is just like whatever we want to. 282 00:21:09,200 --> 00:21:11,400 Speaker 3: Topple this government regime change. 283 00:21:11,400 --> 00:21:13,760 Speaker 4: You're either with us or you're without us. 284 00:21:14,280 --> 00:21:18,240 Speaker 3: But we're just kind of like the tail being wagged 285 00:21:18,240 --> 00:21:21,760 Speaker 3: by the dog. That's what I feel like, because why 286 00:21:21,800 --> 00:21:25,080 Speaker 3: should the Kurds trust us anyway? Like after Desert Storm, 287 00:21:25,160 --> 00:21:28,560 Speaker 3: we abandon the Kurds, left them to, left them to 288 00:21:28,680 --> 00:21:32,440 Speaker 3: Saddam's reign of terror up there. You know, he's gassed 289 00:21:32,480 --> 00:21:37,600 Speaker 3: them mustard gas. So there's trust issues. But what's interesting. 290 00:21:37,720 --> 00:21:41,040 Speaker 3: I think what's most interesting is an article in the 291 00:21:41,119 --> 00:21:45,880 Speaker 3: Daily Mail today talking about the IRGC. They've basically left 292 00:21:45,920 --> 00:21:49,679 Speaker 3: the bases and they're out terrorizing the populace. The populace 293 00:21:49,760 --> 00:21:52,280 Speaker 3: is hunkered down and they don't want to go out 294 00:21:52,320 --> 00:21:55,080 Speaker 3: and oppose the government. They just don't want to get killed. 295 00:21:55,760 --> 00:22:00,600 Speaker 3: And Trump is trying to create this external October revolution 296 00:22:02,040 --> 00:22:02,920 Speaker 3: that nobody. 297 00:22:02,560 --> 00:22:05,800 Speaker 4: Wants to participate in, you know what I mean. So 298 00:22:05,840 --> 00:22:08,360 Speaker 4: where does that leave us. It leaves us with thugs 299 00:22:08,400 --> 00:22:12,040 Speaker 4: and terrorists, That's what it leaves us with, Jeff, like Afghanistan. 300 00:22:13,000 --> 00:22:15,720 Speaker 4: I mean, this thing is a boondoggle from the get go. 301 00:22:15,800 --> 00:22:17,560 Speaker 4: And I've decided. 302 00:22:17,119 --> 00:22:20,959 Speaker 3: Anything that has Jared Kushner, Steve Whitcopp's name on it, 303 00:22:21,760 --> 00:22:27,960 Speaker 3: run away from it, run the other way. What say you, Jeff, Well. 304 00:22:27,800 --> 00:22:30,159 Speaker 2: Vince As you know I've opposed this. You know, I 305 00:22:30,200 --> 00:22:33,439 Speaker 2: oppose the war for many reasons, and one of my 306 00:22:33,600 --> 00:22:37,080 Speaker 2: fears is that what you're talking about, that this could 307 00:22:37,160 --> 00:22:41,400 Speaker 2: eventually lead, if we're not careful, to the breaking apart 308 00:22:41,560 --> 00:22:46,280 Speaker 2: of Iran, to internal chaos, anarchy. I think that's the 309 00:22:46,280 --> 00:22:50,080 Speaker 2: big fear. Now again, I can't stand the Mullas. I'm 310 00:22:50,080 --> 00:22:53,280 Speaker 2: not defending the Mulla's. Look, supreme leader Ali ha Many 311 00:22:53,440 --> 00:22:58,000 Speaker 2: is dead. Yes, he's an evil monster. Please I'm not 312 00:22:58,080 --> 00:23:01,000 Speaker 2: shedding tears over him. I'm happy he's dead, believe me. 313 00:23:01,840 --> 00:23:04,920 Speaker 2: But the fact of the matter is what comes next. See, 314 00:23:04,920 --> 00:23:07,000 Speaker 2: that was always with the question I've been asking from 315 00:23:07,040 --> 00:23:11,160 Speaker 2: the beginning. I said, you know, look, and I am impressed. 316 00:23:11,200 --> 00:23:13,359 Speaker 2: I have to say, Vince, I want to ask you, 317 00:23:13,720 --> 00:23:15,199 Speaker 2: I want to finish the answer, but I do want 318 00:23:15,240 --> 00:23:18,200 Speaker 2: to ask you something because you're a military man. Look, 319 00:23:18,400 --> 00:23:21,560 Speaker 2: our military always performs magnificently. That's why I have so 320 00:23:21,640 --> 00:23:25,320 Speaker 2: much pride and respect for everyone who serves in our military. 321 00:23:26,040 --> 00:23:28,200 Speaker 2: When I say best of the best, I really mean 322 00:23:28,240 --> 00:23:32,400 Speaker 2: that best of the best. But even by our standards, 323 00:23:33,320 --> 00:23:37,240 Speaker 2: this has been an immaculate so far operation from just 324 00:23:37,560 --> 00:23:41,320 Speaker 2: a technical military point of view. No, it's look, I 325 00:23:41,359 --> 00:23:45,440 Speaker 2: always said, we're going to break the mullas Iran cannot 326 00:23:45,480 --> 00:23:48,240 Speaker 2: stand up to the combined might of the United States 327 00:23:48,240 --> 00:23:52,840 Speaker 2: and Israel. My fear always has been what happens next, 328 00:23:53,320 --> 00:23:56,280 Speaker 2: and what Trump admitted to yesterday, and you can look 329 00:23:56,359 --> 00:23:59,760 Speaker 2: up the press conference. He said, well, we're waiting for 330 00:23:59,800 --> 00:24:03,919 Speaker 2: a successor. We don't have a successor plan. And so 331 00:24:04,440 --> 00:24:07,480 Speaker 2: you know he's and he was almost like openly bouncing ideas, saying, well, 332 00:24:07,520 --> 00:24:10,080 Speaker 2: I don't like Polavi, I don't like the Crown Prince 333 00:24:10,119 --> 00:24:12,280 Speaker 2: because he's not liked an Iran by a lot of people. 334 00:24:13,480 --> 00:24:15,840 Speaker 2: I don't know some of the other people in the opposition. 335 00:24:16,160 --> 00:24:19,080 Speaker 2: In fact, I can play you the cut, he said. 336 00:24:19,119 --> 00:24:20,919 Speaker 2: You know, I don't want to get somebody that's just 337 00:24:20,960 --> 00:24:24,480 Speaker 2: as bad as the Ayatola or even worse, He goes, 338 00:24:24,520 --> 00:24:27,199 Speaker 2: for me, that would be the worst case scenario. Then 339 00:24:27,280 --> 00:24:29,919 Speaker 2: we've all, you know, we've done this for what. So 340 00:24:30,200 --> 00:24:33,280 Speaker 2: he openly said yesterday, I'm looking. I want to find 341 00:24:33,320 --> 00:24:36,760 Speaker 2: somebody within the regime who is maybe more and I 342 00:24:36,800 --> 00:24:40,359 Speaker 2: put this in air quotes moderate, meaning you will, you know, 343 00:24:40,440 --> 00:24:44,760 Speaker 2: you'll submit, You'll sign away all of your nuclear enrichment, 344 00:24:45,320 --> 00:24:48,920 Speaker 2: all of your nuclear program, all of your ballistic program, 345 00:24:48,960 --> 00:24:53,200 Speaker 2: your missile program, you'll stop funding proxy terrorist groups around 346 00:24:53,200 --> 00:24:56,760 Speaker 2: the Middle East, sign on the dotted line, and the 347 00:24:56,840 --> 00:25:01,199 Speaker 2: regime can survive somehow and know and you can move on. 348 00:25:02,040 --> 00:25:05,639 Speaker 2: So he says, I'm looking for somebody who's not a 349 00:25:05,760 --> 00:25:11,200 Speaker 2: crazy hardliner. The problem is they're all dying because we're 350 00:25:11,240 --> 00:25:15,040 Speaker 2: just killing so many of them, and you know, it's 351 00:25:15,160 --> 00:25:17,080 Speaker 2: we're starting to run out of people to look at. 352 00:25:17,440 --> 00:25:20,800 Speaker 2: So he's even admitting, to his credit, he's being open 353 00:25:20,840 --> 00:25:26,840 Speaker 2: about it. Unlike Venezuela. Venezuela, before we went in, we 354 00:25:26,960 --> 00:25:30,600 Speaker 2: picked out Delci Rodriguez, the VP, to be the successor. 355 00:25:31,320 --> 00:25:33,480 Speaker 2: In other words, we looked at everybody in the regime 356 00:25:33,520 --> 00:25:35,920 Speaker 2: and we said, well, who could take over from Maduro 357 00:25:36,480 --> 00:25:40,679 Speaker 2: and basically manage it for us? And they said, Rodriguez, 358 00:25:40,800 --> 00:25:45,200 Speaker 2: Delci Rodriguez. So say what you want about the Venezuela operation. 359 00:25:45,520 --> 00:25:48,840 Speaker 2: We took out Maduro. It was clean, surgical, he's out. 360 00:25:49,160 --> 00:25:51,439 Speaker 2: And the successor right away we had ready to go 361 00:25:52,680 --> 00:25:57,280 Speaker 2: this there's no successor. And so what you're pointing out 362 00:25:57,400 --> 00:26:02,760 Speaker 2: where these roving bands of thought and terrorists and paramilitary 363 00:26:02,880 --> 00:26:08,160 Speaker 2: people and terrorizing the local population, and then the country 364 00:26:08,160 --> 00:26:11,600 Speaker 2: begins to slowly just break and split apart because you 365 00:26:11,640 --> 00:26:15,800 Speaker 2: have these non Persian groups in different parts of the country, 366 00:26:16,400 --> 00:26:19,840 Speaker 2: they start to slowly form their own militias, they start 367 00:26:19,880 --> 00:26:22,600 Speaker 2: to break away. Then you have the recipe for a 368 00:26:22,600 --> 00:26:25,679 Speaker 2: potential civil war. And by the way, that's why the 369 00:26:25,680 --> 00:26:29,240 Speaker 2: Gulf states are so nervous about this, because then you're 370 00:26:29,240 --> 00:26:32,359 Speaker 2: gonna lead up you have a massive refugee crisis, and 371 00:26:32,400 --> 00:26:35,000 Speaker 2: that's going to pour over into those countries. And to 372 00:26:35,080 --> 00:26:39,000 Speaker 2: be fair, that's what the Europeans are worried about. The Europeans. 373 00:26:39,000 --> 00:26:41,000 Speaker 2: You know, when it says, oh, they're cowards, they're cowards. 374 00:26:41,359 --> 00:26:43,680 Speaker 2: The Europeans, to be fair, saying, hey, look, we've seen 375 00:26:43,680 --> 00:26:47,760 Speaker 2: this movie before. When you guys overthrew Kadafi and Libya, 376 00:26:48,160 --> 00:26:53,280 Speaker 2: we got the Libyan refugees. When you overthrew assad we 377 00:26:53,359 --> 00:26:58,080 Speaker 2: got the Syrian refugees. When we overthrew Saddam, we got 378 00:26:58,119 --> 00:27:01,400 Speaker 2: a lot of the refugees from Iraq. So the Muslim 379 00:27:01,480 --> 00:27:05,399 Speaker 2: refugees have poured into Europe, some have come to us. 380 00:27:06,359 --> 00:27:10,119 Speaker 2: And that's also my concern. If this thing breaks apart 381 00:27:10,160 --> 00:27:14,159 Speaker 2: from the inside, how many Muslim refugees from Iran are 382 00:27:14,160 --> 00:27:18,200 Speaker 2: we going to have to take in? So that's why 383 00:27:18,280 --> 00:27:21,280 Speaker 2: I've always that's why I said, it's easy to start 384 00:27:21,320 --> 00:27:25,480 Speaker 2: a war, it's what happens next. And that's the one 385 00:27:25,520 --> 00:27:29,880 Speaker 2: thing we're week at. We don't think about the endgame. Okay, 386 00:27:31,040 --> 00:27:36,240 Speaker 2: incredible developments really over the last forty eight seventy two hours, 387 00:27:36,320 --> 00:27:41,359 Speaker 2: the last twenty four hours in particular, militarily, the Iranian 388 00:27:41,400 --> 00:27:46,440 Speaker 2: regime now is on the brink. There's no question. Iran's 389 00:27:46,480 --> 00:27:51,159 Speaker 2: air defenses now have been obliterated. Their ballistic missile launchers 390 00:27:51,200 --> 00:27:55,440 Speaker 2: are being smashed, Their telecommunications now has been pretty much 391 00:27:55,480 --> 00:28:00,360 Speaker 2: wiped out, their missiles are being depleted, stockpiles are now 392 00:28:00,400 --> 00:28:04,680 Speaker 2: down to about thirty percent. Uh, the regime has been decapitated. 393 00:28:05,480 --> 00:28:08,439 Speaker 2: This is now and absolutely we are we are we 394 00:28:08,480 --> 00:28:12,600 Speaker 2: are dismembering the leadership and the Iranian the navy is 395 00:28:12,640 --> 00:28:16,760 Speaker 2: almost gone. They just during just during the break, they 396 00:28:16,840 --> 00:28:20,240 Speaker 2: sunk another ship our forces and and and the Israeli 397 00:28:20,280 --> 00:28:25,960 Speaker 2: sunk another big, big warship. So if you know, basically, 398 00:28:25,960 --> 00:28:28,879 Speaker 2: Iran's navy is no more. And to show you, and 399 00:28:28,880 --> 00:28:30,840 Speaker 2: I'm gonna get to Vince in a second, Vince, I'm sorry, 400 00:28:30,840 --> 00:28:33,439 Speaker 2: I just want to give this quick update. We have 401 00:28:33,600 --> 00:28:37,480 Speaker 2: so decimated the navy, which is to me stunning, in 402 00:28:37,880 --> 00:28:42,840 Speaker 2: such speed that Trump now has ordered our ships to 403 00:28:43,000 --> 00:28:48,440 Speaker 2: patrol the Strait of Hormuz so that shipping oil shipping 404 00:28:48,640 --> 00:28:52,880 Speaker 2: containers can now pass through the state of the Strait 405 00:28:52,920 --> 00:28:57,320 Speaker 2: of horm Mooz from Saudi Arabia from the Gulf Nations 406 00:28:57,720 --> 00:29:01,600 Speaker 2: to keep the world's oil supply going, to minimize these 407 00:29:01,680 --> 00:29:04,880 Speaker 2: price shocks that are expected in the oil markets, to 408 00:29:04,960 --> 00:29:08,720 Speaker 2: keep the price of oil from going too high. So 409 00:29:09,520 --> 00:29:13,040 Speaker 2: we are watching now the Iranian regime start to collapse 410 00:29:13,120 --> 00:29:15,160 Speaker 2: in front of our eyes. Now I want to go 411 00:29:15,240 --> 00:29:18,480 Speaker 2: back to Vince in Germany. Vince, two questions for you. 412 00:29:19,120 --> 00:29:23,840 Speaker 2: Number One, you said you don't trust Steve witkof Jared Kushner. 413 00:29:24,080 --> 00:29:26,720 Speaker 2: If you see him anywhere, you run as fast as possible. 414 00:29:27,760 --> 00:29:29,560 Speaker 2: Let me play you the cut, and then I want 415 00:29:29,560 --> 00:29:33,360 Speaker 2: to get your reaction. This is what Witcough on Fox 416 00:29:33,400 --> 00:29:40,880 Speaker 2: said that he said forced Trump's hand into bombing the 417 00:29:40,920 --> 00:29:48,000 Speaker 2: Iranian regime. Witkoff claims that they could make eleven bombs 418 00:29:48,680 --> 00:29:51,800 Speaker 2: and that they could do all of this. They could 419 00:29:51,880 --> 00:29:55,280 Speaker 2: enrich uranium to weapons grade in about a week to 420 00:29:55,400 --> 00:29:58,360 Speaker 2: ten days roll cut six B. 421 00:30:02,880 --> 00:30:08,080 Speaker 5: They have ten thousand, roughly kilograms of fissionable material that's 422 00:30:08,120 --> 00:30:11,800 Speaker 5: broken up into roughly four hundred and sixty kilograms of 423 00:30:11,960 --> 00:30:16,880 Speaker 5: sixty percent enriched uranium, another thousand kilograms of twenty percent 424 00:30:17,360 --> 00:30:21,080 Speaker 5: enriched uranium, and the balance is at three point sixty seven. 425 00:30:21,640 --> 00:30:27,240 Speaker 5: They manufacture their own centrifuges to enrich this material, so 426 00:30:27,560 --> 00:30:30,120 Speaker 5: there's almost no stopping them. They have an endless supply 427 00:30:30,200 --> 00:30:35,840 Speaker 5: of it. The sixty percent materials SEAN can be brought 428 00:30:35,880 --> 00:30:39,920 Speaker 5: to ninety percent that's weapon grade weapons grade in roughly 429 00:30:40,000 --> 00:30:43,320 Speaker 5: one week, maybe ten days at the outside. The twenty 430 00:30:43,360 --> 00:30:47,560 Speaker 5: percent can be brought to weapons grade inside of three 431 00:30:47,600 --> 00:30:48,880 Speaker 5: to four weeks. 432 00:30:50,720 --> 00:30:54,960 Speaker 2: Vince, what do you make of Wittkoff's claim that the 433 00:30:55,120 --> 00:30:59,200 Speaker 2: Uranians were bragging to them that they can produce eleven 434 00:30:59,280 --> 00:31:03,400 Speaker 2: nuclear bombs, and that they had enough enriched uranium at 435 00:31:03,440 --> 00:31:05,440 Speaker 2: sixty percent, you know, you take it up to eighty 436 00:31:05,560 --> 00:31:08,480 Speaker 2: ninety percent, he becomes weapons grade. That they could do 437 00:31:08,560 --> 00:31:11,680 Speaker 2: this in seven to ten days, meaning in seven to 438 00:31:11,720 --> 00:31:16,320 Speaker 2: ten days they could put a nuclear device on a 439 00:31:17,520 --> 00:31:21,720 Speaker 2: ballistic missile and before you know it, the Ayatolas have 440 00:31:21,880 --> 00:31:26,360 Speaker 2: the bomb. According to Witkof, we had no choice. It 441 00:31:26,400 --> 00:31:27,960 Speaker 2: has to be now or never. 442 00:31:28,320 --> 00:31:34,320 Speaker 3: What say you, oh, Jeff, If they're saying they have 443 00:31:34,640 --> 00:31:37,880 Speaker 3: eleven enough for eleven bombs, and that means they have 444 00:31:37,960 --> 00:31:40,640 Speaker 3: eleven bombs, which means that they already have them ready 445 00:31:40,640 --> 00:31:44,200 Speaker 3: to go. So either they're the dumbest poker players in 446 00:31:44,240 --> 00:31:47,719 Speaker 3: the history of poker, or wick Cough is lying. 447 00:31:48,040 --> 00:31:50,160 Speaker 4: You know, Wickoff, the guy that hung out. 448 00:31:50,040 --> 00:31:53,240 Speaker 3: With Epstein, actually hung out with Epstein on Epstein Island. 449 00:31:54,120 --> 00:31:57,240 Speaker 3: Was like what neighbor two houses down in New York 450 00:31:57,320 --> 00:32:01,680 Speaker 3: City like buddies with Epstein running around with Epstein, which 451 00:32:01,720 --> 00:32:06,240 Speaker 3: we know is an Israeli intelligence asset. We know that now, 452 00:32:06,600 --> 00:32:11,120 Speaker 3: no doubt about it. Okay, I mean, look at the source. 453 00:32:11,360 --> 00:32:16,360 Speaker 3: So do you like I said Jared Kushner and Steve Wikoff, 454 00:32:16,680 --> 00:32:23,400 Speaker 3: All Right, Israeli agents most sad probably in all likelihood. Anyway, 455 00:32:23,520 --> 00:32:27,800 Speaker 3: moving on back to Turkey, the dirty little secret is 456 00:32:27,960 --> 00:32:30,640 Speaker 3: they want to topp ALERTA one. The Israelis want to 457 00:32:30,640 --> 00:32:33,200 Speaker 3: top ALERTA one. I think that that's in their interest 458 00:32:33,320 --> 00:32:38,520 Speaker 3: to like create chaos in Turkey, top alerta wan, maybe 459 00:32:38,560 --> 00:32:41,360 Speaker 3: create a Kurtis stand in the East. I mean, this 460 00:32:41,400 --> 00:32:44,880 Speaker 3: is all like a reshuffling of what is it Psyke's 461 00:32:44,920 --> 00:32:48,960 Speaker 3: pea coat or the Balfour Declaration where they basically carved 462 00:32:49,040 --> 00:32:51,040 Speaker 3: up the Middle East and decided. 463 00:32:50,600 --> 00:32:53,520 Speaker 4: After the Ottoman Empire, this is what we're gonna have. 464 00:32:54,120 --> 00:32:57,280 Speaker 3: I mean, these aren't like natural borders here. They're just 465 00:32:57,400 --> 00:33:00,720 Speaker 3: kind of drawing borders. It's like you've got ribes that 466 00:33:01,240 --> 00:33:04,880 Speaker 3: move across these borders. It's very tribal in the Middle East. 467 00:33:04,920 --> 00:33:07,880 Speaker 3: Eedon to this day. You know what I mean. These 468 00:33:07,920 --> 00:33:10,560 Speaker 3: people are just playing with fire. They think they can 469 00:33:10,600 --> 00:33:11,239 Speaker 3: control it. 470 00:33:11,880 --> 00:33:12,480 Speaker 4: You know what I mean. 471 00:33:12,560 --> 00:33:16,160 Speaker 3: We need to stop with meddaling in people's internal affairs. 472 00:33:16,200 --> 00:33:17,240 Speaker 4: We just need to stop. 473 00:33:18,240 --> 00:33:21,760 Speaker 2: Vince, thank you very much for that call. So you've 474 00:33:21,800 --> 00:33:26,080 Speaker 2: heard Vince. He's not optimistic. He thinks it's going to 475 00:33:26,160 --> 00:33:31,480 Speaker 2: end badly. Agree, disagree six one seven two six six 476 00:33:31,880 --> 00:33:36,680 Speaker 2: sixty eight sixty eight is the number Larry in Arkansas. 477 00:33:37,040 --> 00:33:39,400 Speaker 2: Thanks for holding Larry, and welcome. 478 00:33:41,360 --> 00:33:43,880 Speaker 6: Good morning, Jeff, Jeff. Before I get started, we need 479 00:33:43,920 --> 00:33:48,000 Speaker 6: to hold a moment of silence for the ghetto Barbie 480 00:33:48,040 --> 00:33:53,800 Speaker 6: and the Bond Villain. Both Crockett and Crenshaw lost their primary. 481 00:33:54,160 --> 00:33:57,560 Speaker 2: That's right, Yeah, we are Yeah, Dan Crenshaw. I mean 482 00:33:57,560 --> 00:34:01,600 Speaker 2: it was sixteen points Larry sitting congressman that rhino, and 483 00:34:01,640 --> 00:34:04,800 Speaker 2: he got his rear end handed to him. I mean 484 00:34:04,880 --> 00:34:08,759 Speaker 2: he was destroyed, absolutely destroyed. And crock it with her 485 00:34:08,800 --> 00:34:14,479 Speaker 2: big mouth. She also took a beating yesterday. So and look, 486 00:34:14,560 --> 00:34:16,880 Speaker 2: I think Ken Paxton now may pull this thing off. 487 00:34:17,600 --> 00:34:21,719 Speaker 2: We're gonna have maybe a true Maga senator from Texas. 488 00:34:22,560 --> 00:34:24,640 Speaker 2: So we shall see again. I don't want to be 489 00:34:24,640 --> 00:34:28,319 Speaker 2: premature about this, but last night was some very good 490 00:34:28,320 --> 00:34:32,080 Speaker 2: news for us in terms of the primaries. No question, Larry, 491 00:34:32,120 --> 00:34:35,160 Speaker 2: I've got to ask you. I asked this Evince. He's 492 00:34:35,200 --> 00:34:38,160 Speaker 2: a veteran, he served. I think you're gonna take a 493 00:34:38,160 --> 00:34:42,319 Speaker 2: different point of view obviously than Vince. Vince is very 494 00:34:42,400 --> 00:34:46,520 Speaker 2: much opposed to the war here. But Larry, as a 495 00:34:46,560 --> 00:34:49,239 Speaker 2: military man, as a man in fact from the Air 496 00:34:49,280 --> 00:34:52,400 Speaker 2: Force and the air force. Our air force is performing 497 00:34:52,480 --> 00:34:57,840 Speaker 2: spectacularly right now, just before you get into the actual 498 00:34:58,080 --> 00:35:03,040 Speaker 2: war itself and what's gonna happen the next How impressed 499 00:35:03,120 --> 00:35:08,200 Speaker 2: have you been with both the United States and Israeli military? 500 00:35:08,920 --> 00:35:15,040 Speaker 2: They have hit nearly two thousand targets. They have wiped 501 00:35:15,080 --> 00:35:20,279 Speaker 2: out the Iranian Navy, most of their ballistic lawn missile launchers, 502 00:35:20,880 --> 00:35:26,800 Speaker 2: their military infrastructure, their air defenses have been demolished. Iran 503 00:35:26,920 --> 00:35:32,120 Speaker 2: now is fighting this war blind death, dumb. They're running 504 00:35:32,200 --> 00:35:37,400 Speaker 2: out of missiles. Militarily, this is looking like one of 505 00:35:37,440 --> 00:35:42,160 Speaker 2: the greatest defeats in the history of warfare. Larry, am 506 00:35:42,200 --> 00:35:42,600 Speaker 2: I wrong? 507 00:35:44,560 --> 00:35:47,960 Speaker 6: No, You're not wrong, and all due respect events, but yeah, 508 00:35:47,960 --> 00:35:50,040 Speaker 6: I'm going to come at this from a completely different angle. 509 00:35:50,840 --> 00:35:55,759 Speaker 6: This has affected me since I was nine when they 510 00:35:57,520 --> 00:36:01,680 Speaker 6: took over and took hostages for four in forty four days. 511 00:36:02,560 --> 00:36:05,439 Speaker 6: I was nine, but both my brothers were well into 512 00:36:05,480 --> 00:36:08,319 Speaker 6: their military careers when that all went down, So that 513 00:36:08,440 --> 00:36:11,239 Speaker 6: was a daily thing in my family watching seeing if 514 00:36:11,560 --> 00:36:13,680 Speaker 6: you know, my brothers were gonna have to go deal 515 00:36:13,719 --> 00:36:17,760 Speaker 6: with something. So we've been waiting for this for forty 516 00:36:17,760 --> 00:36:22,480 Speaker 6: seven years now. In reality. I don't care what the 517 00:36:22,560 --> 00:36:26,560 Speaker 6: media says. I don't care what Hollywood says. The military 518 00:36:26,680 --> 00:36:30,719 Speaker 6: are not hell bent on war. They're actually opposed to it, 519 00:36:32,120 --> 00:36:37,040 Speaker 6: but they understand sometimes it's necessary, and in this my opinion, 520 00:36:37,160 --> 00:36:42,719 Speaker 6: this is necessary. Now, there's a difference between regime change 521 00:36:42,760 --> 00:36:46,880 Speaker 6: and nation building. We're trying to topple an evil regime. 522 00:36:47,840 --> 00:36:50,120 Speaker 6: But I can't tell you how many times I've heard 523 00:36:50,160 --> 00:36:53,960 Speaker 6: Trump say it's going to be up to the Iranian people. 524 00:36:54,200 --> 00:36:58,279 Speaker 6: He's like, I'm giving you this opportunity. It's now up 525 00:36:58,280 --> 00:37:00,080 Speaker 6: to you. We don't know if we can do this 526 00:37:00,120 --> 00:37:02,480 Speaker 6: again if you choose wrong, But you guys are going 527 00:37:02,520 --> 00:37:09,280 Speaker 6: to have to choose, and you're right. It's brilliant. Another 528 00:37:09,360 --> 00:37:12,239 Speaker 6: perspective is did you happen to catch the footage of 529 00:37:12,360 --> 00:37:15,640 Speaker 6: these Air Force pilots that were accidentally shot down and 530 00:37:15,680 --> 00:37:20,799 Speaker 6: I'm using air quotes accidentally and the fear when the 531 00:37:20,880 --> 00:37:25,000 Speaker 6: locals approached them, one with a machete, not knowing at 532 00:37:25,000 --> 00:37:27,799 Speaker 6: first as an American civilian or a citizen, you know, 533 00:37:27,960 --> 00:37:28,920 Speaker 6: a military person. 534 00:37:29,000 --> 00:37:31,799 Speaker 2: Yeah, you're talking about the three F fifteens that were 535 00:37:31,800 --> 00:37:33,680 Speaker 2: shot down in Kuwait, correct. 536 00:37:33,440 --> 00:37:39,120 Speaker 6: Larry, Yeah, there there's no there's no other. You know, 537 00:37:39,160 --> 00:37:42,239 Speaker 6: when you're when you're a special unit or combat unit, 538 00:37:42,360 --> 00:37:45,480 Speaker 6: you've got your brothers there, right, your brothers in arms 539 00:37:45,480 --> 00:37:49,799 Speaker 6: are there to back you up if things go sideways. Pilots, 540 00:37:50,360 --> 00:37:54,080 Speaker 6: you saw the video, which is very rare to see 541 00:37:55,360 --> 00:38:00,680 Speaker 6: a shotdown pilot is by themselves. And when you're dropping in, 542 00:38:00,719 --> 00:38:02,280 Speaker 6: I want you to think about that, when you're dropping 543 00:38:02,280 --> 00:38:05,720 Speaker 6: in that parachute, all that pilots going to his head 544 00:38:05,840 --> 00:38:10,080 Speaker 6: is or her head in this case, I hope whoever 545 00:38:10,160 --> 00:38:15,840 Speaker 6: finds me is friendly. That's fear. 546 00:38:18,120 --> 00:38:18,359 Speaker 3: Well. 547 00:38:18,400 --> 00:38:21,160 Speaker 2: And what was remarkable, Larry, is though I did see 548 00:38:21,160 --> 00:38:24,640 Speaker 2: that footage, it was incredible, and you're right. Initially you 549 00:38:24,640 --> 00:38:27,440 Speaker 2: know our our you know our our, our, our pilots, 550 00:38:27,840 --> 00:38:30,960 Speaker 2: you know, our guys were like, oh no, oh no, 551 00:38:31,200 --> 00:38:33,279 Speaker 2: oh no, I think I'm going to get killed. And 552 00:38:33,440 --> 00:38:37,879 Speaker 2: initially the Kiwaits were like they thought they were Iranians, right, 553 00:38:37,920 --> 00:38:41,680 Speaker 2: They weren't sure. And they're mad because the Iranians keep 554 00:38:41,719 --> 00:38:45,120 Speaker 2: firing indiscriminately these missiles into Kuwait, and in fact they've 555 00:38:45,120 --> 00:38:49,920 Speaker 2: actually killed Kowaiti civilians. So again they're turning the sunny 556 00:38:50,160 --> 00:38:54,919 Speaker 2: Arab world against them. The Persian Gulf nations against them. 557 00:38:55,239 --> 00:38:58,960 Speaker 2: It's it's I've never seen something so stupid as what 558 00:38:59,040 --> 00:39:01,439 Speaker 2: the Ayatola is are whatever the Mullas are doing now, 559 00:39:01,600 --> 00:39:05,879 Speaker 2: but let that go. But then when they realize, oh, 560 00:39:05,960 --> 00:39:09,560 Speaker 2: you're an American, because you know they don't speak English, right, 561 00:39:09,600 --> 00:39:12,120 Speaker 2: but they go, oh American. They finally figured it out. 562 00:39:12,480 --> 00:39:16,719 Speaker 2: Then he wanted to shake the pilot's hand, and he said, come, come, come, 563 00:39:16,760 --> 00:39:22,200 Speaker 2: everything's gonna be okay. Come, come, come, Everything's gonna be okay. Incredible, 564 00:39:22,200 --> 00:39:28,440 Speaker 2: I'm telling you, incredible footage, Larry, regime change. What do 565 00:39:28,520 --> 00:39:30,399 Speaker 2: you think is going to happen? I know you don't 566 00:39:30,440 --> 00:39:32,440 Speaker 2: have a crystal ball, but what's your sense of this? 567 00:39:33,320 --> 00:39:37,040 Speaker 2: The Iranian military is crumbling in front of our eyes. 568 00:39:37,560 --> 00:39:42,719 Speaker 2: They're being shredded. The leadership is dying off. Every day, 569 00:39:42,760 --> 00:39:45,560 Speaker 2: there's one more people are getting killed all the time. 570 00:39:45,600 --> 00:39:47,680 Speaker 2: As Trump said, after a while, I don't know if 571 00:39:47,680 --> 00:39:52,000 Speaker 2: we could even pluck somebody to try to replace, you know, 572 00:39:52,080 --> 00:39:55,719 Speaker 2: the leadership, because they're going to be all be dead. 573 00:39:57,520 --> 00:40:00,560 Speaker 2: Are we going to see a full overthrow of the 574 00:40:00,640 --> 00:40:05,120 Speaker 2: Mulla regime or do you think, like in Venezuela, something 575 00:40:05,280 --> 00:40:09,280 Speaker 2: intact will remain, but it'll be very different, obviously much weakened, 576 00:40:09,840 --> 00:40:17,520 Speaker 2: and I mean just unutered, unutered, gutted regime that will 577 00:40:17,520 --> 00:40:20,720 Speaker 2: be impotent for the next ten to fifteen twenty years. 578 00:40:21,000 --> 00:40:23,960 Speaker 2: What say you, Larry, what's the end game? How does 579 00:40:24,000 --> 00:40:24,640 Speaker 2: this thing end? 580 00:40:24,640 --> 00:40:24,879 Speaker 3: Now? 581 00:40:25,880 --> 00:40:30,120 Speaker 6: Like I said, I do believe that the Iranian people 582 00:40:30,520 --> 00:40:33,760 Speaker 6: are going to see this opportunity to get the government 583 00:40:34,000 --> 00:40:36,920 Speaker 6: they want. Like you said, it was a stroke of 584 00:40:36,960 --> 00:40:43,560 Speaker 6: brilliance to involve the Kurds, arm them to help take over. Now, 585 00:40:43,880 --> 00:40:48,240 Speaker 6: I agree with Vince on the fact that our history 586 00:40:48,320 --> 00:40:54,400 Speaker 6: has not given these factions much hope that we're going 587 00:40:54,400 --> 00:40:57,560 Speaker 6: to back them. I think people are starting to see 588 00:40:58,080 --> 00:41:02,560 Speaker 6: on an international stage, Trump isn't a politician in that sense. 589 00:41:03,680 --> 00:41:07,640 Speaker 6: You know, the last uprising in Iran was under Obama, 590 00:41:07,920 --> 00:41:12,319 Speaker 6: I believe, and you know that he left them hanging 591 00:41:12,360 --> 00:41:17,240 Speaker 6: in the wind. And that's that's so. I'm sure they're leary, 592 00:41:17,640 --> 00:41:18,640 Speaker 6: but they're optimistic. 593 00:41:19,440 --> 00:41:19,600 Speaker 3: You know. 594 00:41:19,640 --> 00:41:22,400 Speaker 6: You see you see the footage which the mainstream media 595 00:41:22,480 --> 00:41:26,400 Speaker 6: does not want to show you of the Iranian people 596 00:41:26,840 --> 00:41:31,120 Speaker 6: dancing and praising Trump for this, and I honestly, like 597 00:41:31,120 --> 00:41:34,160 Speaker 6: I said, I think that's that's all Trump's goal is. 598 00:41:34,400 --> 00:41:36,960 Speaker 6: He doesn't want to, you know, take over. He doesn't 599 00:41:36,960 --> 00:41:39,560 Speaker 6: want to a nation buille like Bush and everybody else. 600 00:41:40,120 --> 00:41:43,759 Speaker 6: He wants to give them an opportunity to change their 601 00:41:43,800 --> 00:41:47,680 Speaker 6: own government and in turn will keep us at peace 602 00:41:47,800 --> 00:41:52,919 Speaker 6: because that eliminates a threat, because you know, whether people 603 00:41:52,960 --> 00:41:55,200 Speaker 6: admitted or not for forty seven years, when you have 604 00:41:55,320 --> 00:41:58,040 Speaker 6: the people, the group of people in charge saying death 605 00:41:58,120 --> 00:42:01,640 Speaker 6: to America at a side Israel, death to America, you 606 00:42:01,640 --> 00:42:05,200 Speaker 6: get at one point start taking it seriously. What I 607 00:42:05,239 --> 00:42:07,560 Speaker 6: also like, sir is one of the bigger losers in 608 00:42:07,600 --> 00:42:12,879 Speaker 6: this is China. China is getting well I think oil 609 00:42:13,920 --> 00:42:18,360 Speaker 6: of Iran's oil and eighty of Venezuela's oil, and we 610 00:42:18,520 --> 00:42:20,120 Speaker 6: just cut both those countries off. 611 00:42:22,760 --> 00:42:24,600 Speaker 2: And to me, the other thing that I think is 612 00:42:24,760 --> 00:42:27,360 Speaker 2: very telling, and that's why I think the Iranian regime 613 00:42:27,440 --> 00:42:31,160 Speaker 2: is now really on the ropes. Yeah, Rhetorically the Chinese 614 00:42:31,200 --> 00:42:35,040 Speaker 2: are defending Iran, but militarily they're not doing a thing. 615 00:42:36,280 --> 00:42:39,960 Speaker 2: I mean, I mean, the Chinese are backing down completely. 616 00:42:40,360 --> 00:42:43,520 Speaker 2: The Russians can't help Iran because they're bogged down in 617 00:42:43,520 --> 00:42:47,480 Speaker 2: eastern Ukraine. So again it's just rhetoric coming from Moscow. 618 00:42:47,560 --> 00:42:50,520 Speaker 2: They thincause they can't do much, but you're right. Look, 619 00:42:50,640 --> 00:42:54,520 Speaker 2: China has been badly hurt by this. Both Venezuela and 620 00:42:54,640 --> 00:42:58,359 Speaker 2: Iran were two key clients, and they didn't bail out 621 00:42:58,360 --> 00:43:03,040 Speaker 2: Maduro and they're not bailing out the Iotolas. So that 622 00:43:03,200 --> 00:43:06,840 Speaker 2: shows to you that the Chinese and Chinese intelligence is 623 00:43:06,880 --> 00:43:10,920 Speaker 2: basically telling Beijing the Iotolas are going to at least 624 00:43:10,960 --> 00:43:15,840 Speaker 2: the regime is going down, that the Iranian military cannot 625 00:43:15,880 --> 00:43:22,200 Speaker 2: stand up much longer against this massive onslaught. So Trump 626 00:43:22,280 --> 00:43:25,800 Speaker 2: has a This will define his presidency, make no mistake 627 00:43:25,840 --> 00:43:29,960 Speaker 2: about it. This war will define his presidency. And I 628 00:43:29,960 --> 00:43:32,800 Speaker 2: think now you can see it on him. He wants 629 00:43:32,880 --> 00:43:36,720 Speaker 2: to make sure the endgame succeeds, because now the endgame 630 00:43:36,800 --> 00:43:40,200 Speaker 2: is everything. Larry, thank you so much for that call. 631 00:43:40,280 --> 00:43:43,080 Speaker 2: I really appreciate it. In other words, he wants to 632 00:43:43,120 --> 00:43:46,279 Speaker 2: get a stable government if they're gonna you know, and 633 00:43:46,360 --> 00:43:50,680 Speaker 2: to replace the current Iotolas. He's got to have that 634 00:43:50,880 --> 00:43:54,040 Speaker 2: because if the thing does break apart, or if does 635 00:43:54,120 --> 00:43:58,920 Speaker 2: God forbid a civil war, or the country becomes completely destabilized, 636 00:43:59,040 --> 00:44:02,440 Speaker 2: or there's anarchy in chaos and a vacuum, well then 637 00:44:02,480 --> 00:44:05,280 Speaker 2: the operation is going to look very very different. Obviously, 638 00:44:06,360 --> 00:44:10,239 Speaker 2: so that's why you know who the successor will be, 639 00:44:10,920 --> 00:44:13,319 Speaker 2: what the next government will look like, who will be 640 00:44:13,400 --> 00:44:17,960 Speaker 2: in that government. It's it's almost everything. Six one seven 641 00:44:18,200 --> 00:44:22,520 Speaker 2: two sixty six sixty eight sixty eight. Agree, disagree. I 642 00:44:22,560 --> 00:44:24,360 Speaker 2: don't know. Maybe you disagree with me. I'd love to 643 00:44:24,400 --> 00:44:26,960 Speaker 2: hear from you. Uh, let me ask all of you this. 644 00:44:28,239 --> 00:44:33,360 Speaker 2: Do you think the war is going well? Has it 645 00:44:33,440 --> 00:44:38,200 Speaker 2: exceeded your expectations? And is Trump now going for the 646 00:44:38,280 --> 00:44:42,600 Speaker 2: knockout blow? Are we now on the verge of a 647 00:44:42,680 --> 00:44:48,040 Speaker 2: potential massive military victory? Six one seven two six six 648 00:44:48,400 --> 00:44:54,560 Speaker 2: sixty eight sixty eight. Dave in Ohio. Thanks for holding Dave, 649 00:44:54,920 --> 00:44:55,920 Speaker 2: and welcome. 650 00:44:56,360 --> 00:44:57,120 Speaker 4: Come on in Jeff. 651 00:44:57,200 --> 00:44:58,360 Speaker 7: Longtime no talk. 652 00:44:58,239 --> 00:44:59,480 Speaker 2: So welcome, welcome Dave. 653 00:45:00,239 --> 00:45:06,160 Speaker 7: Every expert has been wrong, wrong on everything regarding Trump, 654 00:45:06,600 --> 00:45:10,200 Speaker 7: what he thinks, what's going to happen. We've been seeing 655 00:45:10,280 --> 00:45:13,520 Speaker 7: it now in the mainstream media over a decade now, 656 00:45:13,760 --> 00:45:15,960 Speaker 7: just wrong. They're looking at. 657 00:45:15,880 --> 00:45:16,800 Speaker 3: The small picture. 658 00:45:17,320 --> 00:45:19,360 Speaker 7: You need to look at the big picture. You just 659 00:45:19,400 --> 00:45:22,440 Speaker 7: alluded to it with the China and Russia not doing 660 00:45:22,480 --> 00:45:27,239 Speaker 7: anything cutting off the oil. But look at this, Where 661 00:45:27,239 --> 00:45:30,320 Speaker 7: did Iran get a lot of their technology for their defenses? 662 00:45:30,360 --> 00:45:34,040 Speaker 7: Where did Venezuela get their technology for the defenses China 663 00:45:34,600 --> 00:45:39,040 Speaker 7: Russia ineffective against what we have. That's a wake up 664 00:45:39,080 --> 00:45:42,640 Speaker 7: call to China. And as far as the power vacuum, 665 00:45:43,440 --> 00:45:45,640 Speaker 7: I would say it's pretty unpopular right now to be 666 00:45:45,719 --> 00:45:50,480 Speaker 7: a Muslim extreamist in Iran. Eighty miles get together to 667 00:45:50,520 --> 00:45:54,200 Speaker 7: elect the new Supreme Leader and they got smoked. You 668 00:45:54,200 --> 00:45:56,760 Speaker 7: think they're going to be congregating anytime soon to elect 669 00:45:56,760 --> 00:45:58,960 Speaker 7: the next guy or who would even want to be 670 00:45:59,080 --> 00:46:00,120 Speaker 7: the next guy? 671 00:46:00,960 --> 00:46:03,640 Speaker 2: Well, Dave, in answer to your question, they believe it 672 00:46:03,760 --> 00:46:06,320 Speaker 2: or not in all that you know, bombing and death 673 00:46:06,360 --> 00:46:12,160 Speaker 2: and destruction. They did elect. They had an interim Supreme Leader. 674 00:46:12,400 --> 00:46:14,000 Speaker 2: There was this counsel. I don't want to boy with 675 00:46:14,040 --> 00:46:16,720 Speaker 2: all the details, but it was a three person council 676 00:46:17,360 --> 00:46:20,000 Speaker 2: and there was an interim Supreme Leader. After the death 677 00:46:20,000 --> 00:46:22,920 Speaker 2: of you know, the Supreme Leader. How many they've now 678 00:46:23,120 --> 00:46:27,120 Speaker 2: chosen a successor. There is now a successor. It is 679 00:46:27,239 --> 00:46:33,080 Speaker 2: how many's oldest son. His name is Moshtaba. How many 680 00:46:33,480 --> 00:46:36,440 Speaker 2: so the same last name, different first name. The father 681 00:46:36,640 --> 00:46:43,680 Speaker 2: was Ali. This guy is Mojtaba mosh Taba. How many 682 00:46:44,520 --> 00:46:49,719 Speaker 2: so he's the eldest son he is a hardliner. If anything, 683 00:46:49,760 --> 00:46:53,759 Speaker 2: he's even more hardlined than his father. He is closely 684 00:46:53,840 --> 00:46:57,560 Speaker 2: connected to the Iranian Secret Service and to the Iranian 685 00:46:57,600 --> 00:47:02,000 Speaker 2: Revolutionary Guard Corps, which are the fanatical supporters of the regime. 686 00:47:02,640 --> 00:47:07,480 Speaker 2: In fact, the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps insisted that it 687 00:47:07,680 --> 00:47:12,879 Speaker 2: only be him, Moshtabahameny and no one else. So as 688 00:47:12,920 --> 00:47:20,480 Speaker 2: things stand right now, even though their military is being degraded, destroyed, 689 00:47:20,680 --> 00:47:26,680 Speaker 2: dismantled all around them, they're not softening the regime, if anything, 690 00:47:27,360 --> 00:47:32,800 Speaker 2: is hardening. And Moshtabaja Many when he was the moment 691 00:47:32,880 --> 00:47:36,759 Speaker 2: they made this guy supreme leader, Death to America, death 692 00:47:36,800 --> 00:47:39,440 Speaker 2: to Israel. And what did he say? We fight to 693 00:47:39,480 --> 00:47:45,880 Speaker 2: the bitter end. So you know this and apparently, look, 694 00:47:45,920 --> 00:47:48,640 Speaker 2: I think there's some popularity. I don't think that, you know. 695 00:47:48,719 --> 00:47:52,400 Speaker 2: I think what we're seeing now is, yes, there's opposition 696 00:47:52,440 --> 00:47:56,160 Speaker 2: to this regime, no question, Dave. But I still think 697 00:47:56,200 --> 00:48:00,400 Speaker 2: there's still enough people out there who are Islamists that 698 00:48:00,440 --> 00:48:04,360 Speaker 2: they're willing to remember. The military hasn't affected yet, the 699 00:48:04,440 --> 00:48:09,200 Speaker 2: mid level military hasn't deffected yet. Once they start to defect, 700 00:48:09,239 --> 00:48:13,279 Speaker 2: it's over. But so far they're hanging on final word 701 00:48:13,280 --> 00:48:13,799 Speaker 2: to you, Dave. 702 00:48:14,680 --> 00:48:19,080 Speaker 7: Well, now that guy's fifty seven years old, he's uh so, 703 00:48:19,120 --> 00:48:22,960 Speaker 7: I know what his history is. The thing is, it 704 00:48:23,040 --> 00:48:26,480 Speaker 7: hasn't even been a week, all right. You look at 705 00:48:26,480 --> 00:48:31,319 Speaker 7: Hesbela Hamas and the hoodies. Their funding just got cut 706 00:48:31,320 --> 00:48:35,799 Speaker 7: off to let them let them fire off all their supplies, 707 00:48:36,000 --> 00:48:39,480 Speaker 7: their weaponry. They're not going to get replenished. I RAN's 708 00:48:39,520 --> 00:48:41,799 Speaker 7: not going to get replenished. As soon as they start 709 00:48:41,880 --> 00:48:45,960 Speaker 7: running out of weapons and you'll see a change. It 710 00:48:46,000 --> 00:48:47,640 Speaker 7: hasn't even been a week yet, Jeff. 711 00:48:47,960 --> 00:48:51,200 Speaker 2: Well, Dave, that's you nailed it. They're already running out 712 00:48:51,200 --> 00:48:55,560 Speaker 2: of weapons there. Look, the hardest soul of their military 713 00:48:55,640 --> 00:48:58,760 Speaker 2: are the ballistic missiles, and they're down to thirty percent 714 00:48:58,800 --> 00:49:01,160 Speaker 2: of their stockpile. We're in the fourth day of the war.
