1 00:00:00,320 --> 00:00:02,639 Speaker 1: Secretary of State Mark Or Rubio told reporters a short 2 00:00:02,640 --> 00:00:05,800 Speaker 1: time ago that he was expecting Iran's response to US 3 00:00:05,800 --> 00:00:09,559 Speaker 1: peace proposal at any moment. The Trump administration has offered 4 00:00:09,560 --> 00:00:11,760 Speaker 1: to Ran a fifteen point plan to end the war, 5 00:00:12,160 --> 00:00:14,520 Speaker 1: and this comes as the two sides could potentially begin 6 00:00:14,600 --> 00:00:17,840 Speaker 1: face to face negotiations in the near future. At the 7 00:00:17,840 --> 00:00:20,360 Speaker 1: same time, the US is sending thousands of troops to 8 00:00:20,400 --> 00:00:23,120 Speaker 1: the Middle East. The Secretary of Rubio says that Iranian 9 00:00:23,160 --> 00:00:27,360 Speaker 1: military capabilities can be destroyed without putting any American troops 10 00:00:27,480 --> 00:00:28,200 Speaker 1: on the ground. 11 00:00:28,320 --> 00:00:32,600 Speaker 2: Listen, we can achieve We are achieving all those objectives. 12 00:00:32,600 --> 00:00:34,839 Speaker 3: We are head of schedule on most of them, and 13 00:00:34,880 --> 00:00:37,960 Speaker 3: we can achieve them without any ground troops, without any Now, 14 00:00:38,080 --> 00:00:43,080 Speaker 3: in terms of why there's deployment, number one, the president 15 00:00:43,080 --> 00:00:45,360 Speaker 3: has to be prepared for multiple contingencies, which I'm not 16 00:00:45,400 --> 00:00:47,720 Speaker 3: going to discuss in the media. And again I refer 17 00:00:47,760 --> 00:00:49,720 Speaker 3: to the Department of War, who will talk probably tell 18 00:00:49,760 --> 00:00:52,120 Speaker 3: you the exact same thing. But we can achieve all 19 00:00:52,159 --> 00:00:54,200 Speaker 3: of our objectives with our ground troops. But we are 20 00:00:54,200 --> 00:00:56,800 Speaker 3: always going to be prepared to give the president maximum 21 00:00:56,880 --> 00:01:02,800 Speaker 3: optionality and maximum opportunity to adjust to contingencies should they emerge. 22 00:01:03,080 --> 00:01:05,360 Speaker 4: So we don't have the exact number of servicemen or 23 00:01:05,400 --> 00:01:10,200 Speaker 4: women who were actually injured during this attack. But I 24 00:01:10,319 --> 00:01:15,120 Speaker 4: was just told by a source moments ago that two 25 00:01:15,440 --> 00:01:19,080 Speaker 4: of the service members did have shrapnel wounds, but they 26 00:01:19,120 --> 00:01:23,560 Speaker 4: were clear to say that these were non life threatening wounds. 27 00:01:23,600 --> 00:01:28,280 Speaker 4: I'm also told that aircrafts at least one aircraft was 28 00:01:28,360 --> 00:01:31,000 Speaker 4: damaged in this strike, but it's not something that's going 29 00:01:31,000 --> 00:01:35,000 Speaker 4: to totally take out their capabilities on that air base. Now, 30 00:01:35,040 --> 00:01:36,920 Speaker 4: in terms of the shrapnel wounds, in terms of the 31 00:01:36,959 --> 00:01:40,320 Speaker 4: wounds overall, the injuries overall, we do not have clarity 32 00:01:40,440 --> 00:01:45,360 Speaker 4: on how many service members men and women were actually injured. 33 00:01:45,400 --> 00:01:48,760 Speaker 4: We do not have clarity on what those injuries were, 34 00:01:48,840 --> 00:01:51,720 Speaker 4: other than the at least two service men and women 35 00:01:52,080 --> 00:01:54,960 Speaker 4: who are injured with a shrapnel injury. Now, of course, 36 00:01:55,000 --> 00:01:58,360 Speaker 4: all of this is going to further complicate what is 37 00:01:58,400 --> 00:02:00,840 Speaker 4: supposed to be happening behind the scenes right now and 38 00:02:00,880 --> 00:02:03,600 Speaker 4: what we are told is happening, which is this quest 39 00:02:03,760 --> 00:02:08,000 Speaker 4: for diplomacy, these ongoing negotiations. And I will say we 40 00:02:08,040 --> 00:02:10,519 Speaker 4: heard from the Secretary of State earlier today who said 41 00:02:10,520 --> 00:02:12,720 Speaker 4: that they were waiting to hear from Iran on that 42 00:02:12,760 --> 00:02:15,880 Speaker 4: fifteen point plan, and that they still didn't know who 43 00:02:15,919 --> 00:02:17,840 Speaker 4: they were supposed to be talking to and what they 44 00:02:17,840 --> 00:02:20,760 Speaker 4: were supposed to be talking about. And the reason why 45 00:02:20,800 --> 00:02:24,600 Speaker 4: that's so critical, that fifteen point plan, I mean, that's 46 00:02:24,639 --> 00:02:27,200 Speaker 4: supposed to be the basis of these negotiations. So if 47 00:02:27,200 --> 00:02:30,400 Speaker 4: Iran doesn't accept that, what are they actually going to 48 00:02:30,480 --> 00:02:33,800 Speaker 4: talk about if the two sides sit down together, either 49 00:02:34,040 --> 00:02:36,440 Speaker 4: late this weekend or early next week. But when it 50 00:02:36,480 --> 00:02:38,400 Speaker 4: comes to what happened in Saudi Arabia, I mean, this 51 00:02:38,560 --> 00:02:41,520 Speaker 4: was this information is still very fluid. It is coming in. 52 00:02:41,919 --> 00:02:46,520 Speaker 4: It does sound like the injuries that we know of 53 00:02:46,600 --> 00:02:50,360 Speaker 4: were non life threatening, but again, this is still a 54 00:02:50,480 --> 00:02:54,080 Speaker 4: very fluid situation. After this Iranian missile strike, it's now. 55 00:02:54,000 --> 00:02:54,600 Speaker 5: One other thing. 56 00:02:55,800 --> 00:02:58,840 Speaker 6: Troops on the ground. He said, no troops on the ground. 57 00:03:00,240 --> 00:03:03,520 Speaker 5: I don't remember that in any campaign speech either. But 58 00:03:03,639 --> 00:03:06,480 Speaker 5: why would we need troops on the ground. Well, there's 59 00:03:06,480 --> 00:03:09,400 Speaker 5: a lot of reasons, and we wouldn't need three hundred 60 00:03:09,480 --> 00:03:14,920 Speaker 5: thousand of them. It's this uranium too. We've got to 61 00:03:14,960 --> 00:03:20,280 Speaker 5: get the uranium. If it cannot be destroyed, if it 62 00:03:20,320 --> 00:03:24,000 Speaker 5: cannot be altered, we got to get it for the 63 00:03:24,040 --> 00:03:28,359 Speaker 5: reason I just said, you can make dirty bombs, and 64 00:03:28,440 --> 00:03:33,520 Speaker 5: over time you can still make sophisticated missiles. So you 65 00:03:33,639 --> 00:03:38,040 Speaker 5: need to get to the uranium. That's why I'm reading 66 00:03:38,040 --> 00:03:40,400 Speaker 5: in the paper. We're talking about the eighty second Airborne. 67 00:03:40,440 --> 00:03:43,040 Speaker 5: We're talking about these very special forces and the various 68 00:03:43,400 --> 00:03:46,680 Speaker 5: military services and so forth. He's not talking about sending 69 00:03:46,760 --> 00:03:51,320 Speaker 5: regular army and infantry in by the hundreds of thousands. 70 00:03:51,720 --> 00:03:55,720 Speaker 7: All day long, through rain or shine, Massive crowds poured 71 00:03:55,760 --> 00:03:58,840 Speaker 7: into the streets in big cities and small towns alike, 72 00:03:59,280 --> 00:04:02,200 Speaker 7: all with a unif buying message there are no Kings 73 00:04:02,200 --> 00:04:05,840 Speaker 7: in America and justin The No King's Coalition, which is 74 00:04:05,840 --> 00:04:09,640 Speaker 7: made up of organizers of rallies nationwide, tells MS now 75 00:04:09,680 --> 00:04:14,000 Speaker 7: that an estimated eight million people showed up to today's demonstrations, 76 00:04:14,280 --> 00:04:18,560 Speaker 7: making it the largest single day nonviolent protest in modern 77 00:04:18,600 --> 00:04:22,640 Speaker 7: American history. Organizers in Chicago estimated that about two hundred 78 00:04:22,680 --> 00:04:25,800 Speaker 7: thousand people turned up there alone and here in New 79 00:04:25,880 --> 00:04:29,039 Speaker 7: York cities. In New York City, organizers told me that 80 00:04:29,080 --> 00:04:32,080 Speaker 7: an estimated three hundred and fifty thousand people showed up 81 00:04:32,480 --> 00:04:35,520 Speaker 7: for reference the first No King's Day last June drew 82 00:04:35,560 --> 00:04:38,479 Speaker 7: an estimated five million people.

Now the countries have seen 135 00:08:30,120 --> 00:08:34,000 Speaker 11: their borders and energy security come under threat as well. 136 00:08:34,160 --> 00:08:38,520 Speaker 12: I believe Russia is actively helping Iran target American for 137 00:08:38,600 --> 00:08:43,800 Speaker 12: instances right now. I think that Russia in Russian interest 138 00:08:44,480 --> 00:08:49,960 Speaker 12: to help Uranians. And I not believe I know that 139 00:08:50,080 --> 00:08:56,120 Speaker 12: they share information. If they make images once they are prepared. 140 00:08:56,679 --> 00:09:00,800 Speaker 12: If they make images the second time, it's like simulation. 141 00:09:02,120 --> 00:09:05,760 Speaker 12: The short time, it's meant that one two days they 142 00:09:05,800 --> 00:09:06,679 Speaker 12: will attack us. 143 00:09:06,760 --> 00:09:08,720 Speaker 6: Right, yeah, this is what you know. 144 00:09:08,880 --> 00:09:13,520 Speaker 12: That's why if I get not once the information from 145 00:09:13,520 --> 00:09:18,079 Speaker 12: my intelligence that they that they make images of American days, 146 00:09:19,640 --> 00:09:25,000 Speaker 12: I mean, listen, this is the answer. Do they help Uranians. 147 00:09:25,040 --> 00:09:30,240 Speaker 12: Of course, how many percent? One hundred percent? Yes, you 148 00:09:30,280 --> 00:09:33,480 Speaker 12: think it's in Vladimir's interest for this war, Yes, you 149 00:09:33,559 --> 00:09:37,800 Speaker 12: go a dragon, one hundred I think the traject needs 150 00:09:37,880 --> 00:09:41,479 Speaker 12: long war in Middle Is because the focus will. 151 00:09:42,800 --> 00:09:43,840 Speaker 13: Be on Middle Is. 152 00:09:43,960 --> 00:09:46,440 Speaker 5: And you know what else, I remember from my days 153 00:09:46,440 --> 00:09:50,400 Speaker 5: in the regular administration, many of them are trained for 154 00:09:50,480 --> 00:09:57,319 Speaker 5: a moment like this, to try and secure enriched uranium. 155 00:09:57,520 --> 00:10:02,400 Speaker 5: Many have been trained for moments like this. I guess 156 00:10:02,400 --> 00:10:05,320 Speaker 5: what I'm trying to say is we're in good hands. No, 157 00:10:05,440 --> 00:10:09,719 Speaker 5: not with all state, but we're President Trump because he's 158 00:10:09,760 --> 00:10:14,160 Speaker 5: a man with enormous intelligence, enormous common sense. He's not 159 00:10:14,240 --> 00:10:20,199 Speaker 5: an idiolog. He doesn't run around with slogans. He's prudential. 160 00:10:20,520 --> 00:10:23,000 Speaker 5: He looks the facts, he looks at the challenge, and 161 00:10:23,040 --> 00:10:25,760 Speaker 5: he's dealing with it. Now, you might say, but he's 162 00:10:25,840 --> 00:10:29,199 Speaker 5: negotiating a peace deal. First of all, did you look 163 00:10:29,240 --> 00:10:31,000 Speaker 5: at those fifteen points that were in the media. 164 00:10:31,120 --> 00:10:31,920 Speaker 14: You know what that was? 165 00:10:32,000 --> 00:10:36,920 Speaker 5: That was unconditional surrender. The Iranians apparently said no. The 166 00:10:36,920 --> 00:10:40,280 Speaker 5: President said, okay, who's up next. 167 00:10:41,240 --> 00:10:44,240 Speaker 2: Since nine to eleven, a whole bunch of of the leadership, 168 00:10:44,240 --> 00:10:47,839 Speaker 2: including bin Laden's son escaped from Afghanistan to Iran. We're 169 00:10:47,880 --> 00:10:51,200 Speaker 2: given sanctuary by the Iranian regime and they've been using 170 00:10:51,240 --> 00:10:55,000 Speaker 2: it as a hub for terror around the world. And 171 00:10:55,040 --> 00:10:58,320 Speaker 2: al Qaeda and Iran have teamed up for a series 172 00:10:58,360 --> 00:11:00,720 Speaker 2: of terrorist attacks against US. People don't realize this, but 173 00:11:00,760 --> 00:11:03,520 Speaker 2: we remember the bombings of the embassies in Kenya and Tanzania, 174 00:11:03,559 --> 00:11:05,480 Speaker 2: which was should have been our warning that nine to 175 00:11:05,520 --> 00:11:10,280 Speaker 2: eleven was coming. That was planned and and the terrorists 176 00:11:10,320 --> 00:11:12,800 Speaker 2: were trained by Iran for doing that because al Qaeda 177 00:11:12,880 --> 00:11:15,240 Speaker 2: didn't know how to bring down buildings, so they turned 178 00:11:15,240 --> 00:11:17,960 Speaker 2: to Iran in order to get the training to do that. 179 00:11:18,360 --> 00:11:19,920 Speaker 14: So the idea that. 180 00:11:19,840 --> 00:11:23,840 Speaker 2: Iran, which is Shia, and al Qaeda, which is Sunni, 181 00:11:24,400 --> 00:11:27,240 Speaker 2: would cooperate is not beyond measure. In fact, I mean, 182 00:11:27,320 --> 00:11:31,000 Speaker 2: you know the hamasas Sunni. Also, Iran works with Sunni 183 00:11:31,080 --> 00:11:33,800 Speaker 2: terrorists around the world. And if we don't get that 184 00:11:33,920 --> 00:11:36,360 Speaker 2: enriched uranium and they want to get back at us 185 00:11:36,360 --> 00:11:38,640 Speaker 2: for what we've done, the easiest way to do it 186 00:11:38,640 --> 00:11:40,679 Speaker 2: would be to give it to al Qaeda and let 187 00:11:40,679 --> 00:11:42,200 Speaker 2: them use it for a dirty bomb. So we have 188 00:11:42,320 --> 00:11:45,160 Speaker 2: got to get what Donald Trump correctly calls the nuclear 189 00:11:45,240 --> 00:11:48,120 Speaker 2: dust before this operation is done well. 190 00:11:48,160 --> 00:11:51,080 Speaker 15: The prison said, look, we've accomplished the gross majority of 191 00:11:51,080 --> 00:11:53,120 Speaker 15: our military objectives. I think you make a good argument, 192 00:11:53,160 --> 00:11:56,079 Speaker 15: we've accomplished all of our military objectives. The prison is 193 00:11:56,080 --> 00:11:57,840 Speaker 15: going to keep at it for a little while longer 194 00:11:57,880 --> 00:12:00,760 Speaker 15: to ensure that we once we leave, we don't have 195 00:12:00,800 --> 00:12:02,560 Speaker 15: to do this again for a very very long time. 196 00:12:02,600 --> 00:12:05,600 Speaker 15: That was fundamentally the President's goal is said, look, this country, 197 00:12:05,920 --> 00:12:06,760 Speaker 15: they're threatening us in. 198 00:12:06,760 --> 00:12:07,360 Speaker 14: All these ways. 199 00:12:07,400 --> 00:12:09,640 Speaker 15: They're still trying to build a nuclear weapon. We need 200 00:12:09,679 --> 00:12:12,400 Speaker 15: to neuter them for a very very long time, and 201 00:12:12,400 --> 00:12:13,080 Speaker 15: that's the purpose. 202 00:12:13,080 --> 00:12:13,560 Speaker 14: You're right. 203 00:12:13,840 --> 00:12:16,320 Speaker 15: Gas prices have certainly gone up because of what's going 204 00:12:16,360 --> 00:12:18,760 Speaker 15: on in the Middle East, but they're going to come down. 205 00:12:18,920 --> 00:12:19,079 Speaker 14: Right. 206 00:12:19,120 --> 00:12:22,480 Speaker 15: This is a very very temporary reaction to what is 207 00:12:22,520 --> 00:12:25,320 Speaker 15: going to ultimately be a short term conflict. I think 208 00:12:25,360 --> 00:12:28,120 Speaker 15: the President has been very clear about this that we're 209 00:12:28,160 --> 00:12:31,240 Speaker 15: not interested in being in Iran a year down the road, 210 00:12:31,400 --> 00:12:33,920 Speaker 15: two years down the road. We're taking care of business. 211 00:12:34,160 --> 00:12:36,160 Speaker 15: We're going to be out of there soon, and gas 212 00:12:36,160 --> 00:12:37,240 Speaker 15: prices are going to come back down. 213 00:12:37,880 --> 00:12:40,680 Speaker 2: I've never seen you know, I know that people turned 214 00:12:40,679 --> 00:12:42,640 Speaker 2: against the Iraq War. After a period of time, they 215 00:12:42,640 --> 00:12:45,840 Speaker 2: turned against Afghanistan after a period of time, the Democrats did. 216 00:12:46,000 --> 00:12:49,400 Speaker 2: But I've never seen a war where the Democrats turned 217 00:12:49,400 --> 00:12:52,920 Speaker 2: against the war on day one and are rooting for defeat. 218 00:12:53,160 --> 00:12:56,040 Speaker 2: You know, there are people in this country who hate 219 00:12:56,080 --> 00:12:59,040 Speaker 2: Donald Trump more than they hate the Iranian regime that 220 00:12:59,240 --> 00:13:02,360 Speaker 2: just massacred thirty two thousand people in their streets. You know, 221 00:13:02,400 --> 00:13:05,040 Speaker 2: they were all very upset about about what was happening 222 00:13:05,080 --> 00:13:08,760 Speaker 2: in in Gaza, but thirty two thousand people massacred, and 223 00:13:08,800 --> 00:13:12,359 Speaker 2: then Donald Trump comes in to wipe out the genocidal 224 00:13:12,400 --> 00:13:15,360 Speaker 2: regime that actually was committing genocide against its own people, 225 00:13:15,679 --> 00:13:16,640 Speaker 2: massacring them in the. 226 00:13:16,559 --> 00:13:17,160 Speaker 14: Streets like that. 227 00:13:17,200 --> 00:13:19,920 Speaker 2: And Donald but because it's Donald Trump, we have to 228 00:13:19,920 --> 00:13:21,560 Speaker 2: play it down. We have to say it's a defeat. 229 00:13:21,600 --> 00:13:23,480 Speaker 2: We have to say we're losing, and they're gonna all 230 00:13:23,480 --> 00:13:25,120 Speaker 2: gonna have egg on their face because we got We're 231 00:13:25,160 --> 00:13:27,760 Speaker 2: about halfway through this thing, and when this is all over, 232 00:13:27,840 --> 00:13:30,559 Speaker 2: this is going to go down in history as possibly 233 00:13:30,600 --> 00:13:33,400 Speaker 2: the greatest military campaign in the United States has waged 234 00:13:33,880 --> 00:13:35,040 Speaker 2: since the American Revolution. 235 00:13:40,080 --> 00:13:47,319 Speaker 16: Come, mothers and fathers throughout the land, and don't criticize 236 00:13:47,520 --> 00:13:53,880 Speaker 16: what you don't understand.

We've got two messages. 289 00:16:46,600 --> 00:16:50,360 Speaker 18: We have a message from the National Security Advisor to 290 00:16:50,400 --> 00:16:53,600 Speaker 18: the President, Marco Rubio, and also I think backed up 291 00:16:53,640 --> 00:16:59,080 Speaker 18: by the Vice President that says we don't need combat troops. 292 00:16:59,080 --> 00:16:59,840 Speaker 14: We're going down. 293 00:17:00,520 --> 00:17:04,600 Speaker 18: Jim Fanella has been showing us every day a methodical 294 00:17:04,680 --> 00:17:11,320 Speaker 18: process of defanging and declining the traditional combat arms of 295 00:17:11,359 --> 00:17:15,040 Speaker 18: the Iranian government and the and the and the Revolutionary 296 00:17:15,040 --> 00:17:18,359 Speaker 18: Guard that continues on. I think they say they have 297 00:17:19,200 --> 00:17:22,639 Speaker 18: thirty five hundred targets left. Uh and it's say it's 298 00:17:22,680 --> 00:17:27,160 Speaker 18: just a massive pounding every night, unrelenting. Although I would 299 00:17:27,160 --> 00:17:30,080 Speaker 18: say that the I believe, ever since the Israeli has 300 00:17:30,080 --> 00:17:34,919 Speaker 18: attacked the gas fields of the Qatar, that the initiative, 301 00:17:35,080 --> 00:17:38,119 Speaker 18: the center gravity of this battle has shifted to the 302 00:17:38,119 --> 00:17:42,200 Speaker 18: Persian Gulf, the toll Gate that now somehow, you know, 303 00:17:42,240 --> 00:17:44,359 Speaker 18: the hooties having the Red Sea and the and the 304 00:17:44,440 --> 00:17:48,640 Speaker 18: and the UH and and the Revolutionary Guard feels they 305 00:17:48,640 --> 00:17:52,399 Speaker 18: have the straight h Hormuz Uh. There's I think about 306 00:17:52,400 --> 00:17:56,720 Speaker 18: eight thousand combat troops between eighty second Airborne and two 307 00:17:56,880 --> 00:18:00,240 Speaker 18: Marine Expeditionary units that now are essentially on station and 308 00:18:00,640 --> 00:18:03,520 Speaker 18: if the president so chooses. But Mark Rubio tells us, 309 00:18:03,520 --> 00:18:06,119 Speaker 18: and he told us many times, we're not going to 310 00:18:06,200 --> 00:18:09,639 Speaker 18: need that. You've got the Vice President saying we're almost 311 00:18:09,680 --> 00:18:12,719 Speaker 18: done a little while longer I think what the quote was. 312 00:18:13,600 --> 00:18:16,000 Speaker 18: But you have the Mark Levin's and Desens and all 313 00:18:16,000 --> 00:18:16,800 Speaker 18: the cheerleaders for. 314 00:18:16,800 --> 00:18:18,960 Speaker 14: The Iraq War. Everybody got it wrong in the Iraq War. 315 00:18:19,600 --> 00:18:23,400 Speaker 18: They're telling us that there's nuclear dust or there's some 316 00:18:23,480 --> 00:18:27,399 Speaker 18: cause their current version of weapons of mass destruction, that 317 00:18:27,480 --> 00:18:29,320 Speaker 18: we have to go in and send troops. 318 00:18:29,320 --> 00:18:31,040 Speaker 14: In your thoughts on all this. 319 00:18:31,040 --> 00:18:35,240 Speaker 20: Sir, well, First, Steve, let me speak to Palm Sunday 320 00:18:35,320 --> 00:18:39,199 Speaker 20: in Jerusalem. I know Cardinal Pizza Bala. He actually contacted 321 00:18:39,240 --> 00:18:43,879 Speaker 20: me after the Gaza debacle started, and he said the 322 00:18:43,880 --> 00:18:47,479 Speaker 20: Holy Father had instructed him to get involved, and he 323 00:18:47,520 --> 00:18:49,640 Speaker 20: asked me to make a plan to build a whole 324 00:18:49,720 --> 00:18:53,320 Speaker 20: refugee camp to take care of the Gods and civilians, 325 00:18:53,520 --> 00:18:58,119 Speaker 20: and it was blocked by the Biden administration. But imagine, 326 00:18:58,320 --> 00:19:02,159 Speaker 20: for the first time in century, since the Ottoman rule 327 00:19:03,400 --> 00:19:06,879 Speaker 20: hundreds and hundreds of years ago, Christians are denied to 328 00:19:06,920 --> 00:19:09,879 Speaker 20: have Mass at the Church of the Holy Sepulcher. This 329 00:19:10,040 --> 00:19:14,760 Speaker 20: is truly unprecedented times. I cannot see any legitimate reason, 330 00:19:17,200 --> 00:19:20,960 Speaker 20: security wise to ban people from going to Mass. I mean, 331 00:19:21,000 --> 00:19:26,800 Speaker 20: if they're going to Mass, they're clearly in commune, in 332 00:19:26,840 --> 00:19:29,639 Speaker 20: community with their Lord. If they're killed going to Mass, 333 00:19:29,840 --> 00:19:32,680 Speaker 20: I think they'll take that risk. It is a horrific 334 00:19:32,800 --> 00:19:39,040 Speaker 20: affront to Christianity, and every Catholic, Evangelical, every Orthodox in 335 00:19:39,080 --> 00:19:44,280 Speaker 20: America should be irate about it. It is unprecedented and wrong. Second, 336 00:19:45,680 --> 00:19:46,640 Speaker 20: we now live. 337 00:19:46,640 --> 00:19:46,879 Speaker 13: In a. 338 00:19:49,760 --> 00:19:52,440 Speaker 14: Hang hang on one second before we go to number two. 339 00:19:52,480 --> 00:19:53,760 Speaker 14: I want to go back to number one. 340 00:19:54,880 --> 00:19:58,840 Speaker 18: My understanding after this story broke and with my inquiries, 341 00:19:58,880 --> 00:20:00,199 Speaker 18: and that's what we're trying to get Ben up from 342 00:20:00,280 --> 00:20:03,159 Speaker 18: Rome in the second hour, is was there any to 343 00:20:03,240 --> 00:20:07,679 Speaker 18: your knowledge? Was there anything transmitted to the church through 344 00:20:07,720 --> 00:20:12,119 Speaker 18: official channels to tell him, because this is unprecedented for 345 00:20:12,720 --> 00:20:18,240 Speaker 18: hundreds of years since the Automan's controlled Jerusalem, was anything 346 00:20:18,280 --> 00:20:23,360 Speaker 18: communicated through official channels to the Church that this might happen, Sir, 347 00:20:23,840 --> 00:20:25,920 Speaker 18: to your knowledge, not that. 348 00:20:25,920 --> 00:20:26,320 Speaker 6: I know of. 349 00:20:26,600 --> 00:20:29,760 Speaker 20: In fact, in the cardinal in his statement even said 350 00:20:29,760 --> 00:20:35,200 Speaker 20: that he has been adhering to every request and security stricture. 351 00:20:35,240 --> 00:20:37,600 Speaker 20: He was not going with some grand procession, even he 352 00:20:37,720 --> 00:20:42,359 Speaker 20: was going privately with another clergy to the church to 353 00:20:42,440 --> 00:20:47,840 Speaker 20: say Mass on Palm Sunday and barred. So it's when 354 00:20:48,160 --> 00:20:50,199 Speaker 20: if you give a gun to badge, you get a 355 00:20:50,200 --> 00:20:55,600 Speaker 20: bigger one. And perhaps that's the case of some security 356 00:20:56,400 --> 00:21:00,399 Speaker 20: apparatric in Jerusalem that doesn't care that it's a cardinal, 357 00:21:00,440 --> 00:21:02,879 Speaker 20: has no respect for Christendom. 358 00:21:04,040 --> 00:21:06,800 Speaker 13: This is a really really bad look for. 359 00:21:08,160 --> 00:21:14,000 Speaker 20: Look you, it starts to take away any understanding about 360 00:21:14,680 --> 00:21:18,800 Speaker 20: or I guess it ads to understanding of even Muslims 361 00:21:18,800 --> 00:21:24,600 Speaker 20: that are are angry at their access to Alaksamasque. And 362 00:21:24,640 --> 00:21:31,479 Speaker 20: again a completely unforced stupid error by Israeli security forces. 363 00:21:31,480 --> 00:21:37,480 Speaker 14: Today, Eric, go on your bullet point number two. 364 00:21:39,119 --> 00:21:42,960 Speaker 20: Bulletpoint two state we live in a very in a 365 00:21:43,000 --> 00:21:46,879 Speaker 20: world of transparent battlefields. If you get within thirty forty 366 00:21:46,920 --> 00:21:52,520 Speaker 20: kilometers of the front line era in Ukraine, you're completely 367 00:21:52,560 --> 00:21:57,879 Speaker 20: at risk because of the amount of surveillance and drones sensors. 368 00:21:59,240 --> 00:22:02,480 Speaker 20: The idea that you're going to hide an amphibious ready 369 00:22:02,520 --> 00:22:07,840 Speaker 20: group are mew with an LHA. That's probably what eight 370 00:22:07,920 --> 00:22:13,119 Speaker 20: or nine hundred foot ship weighs forty or fifty thousand tons. 371 00:22:13,720 --> 00:22:16,560 Speaker 20: Believe me, there's multiple countries in the world that own 372 00:22:17,280 --> 00:22:21,119 Speaker 20: the means to track that in real time. And so 373 00:22:21,359 --> 00:22:24,720 Speaker 20: if you buy doctrine, if you try to get that 374 00:22:25,440 --> 00:22:30,760 Speaker 20: entire amphibious group within range of them starting to discharge 375 00:22:30,800 --> 00:22:34,639 Speaker 20: their troops, they're going to be heavily and highly targeted 376 00:22:35,400 --> 00:22:38,360 Speaker 20: by all. But for the same reason that they pulled 377 00:22:39,000 --> 00:22:45,680 Speaker 20: the carrier air wing back mysteriously after the laundry fire 378 00:22:45,800 --> 00:22:50,520 Speaker 20: on board the USS forward, so highly dangerous to put 379 00:22:50,640 --> 00:22:55,160 Speaker 20: amphibious troops into that area because of there's so many 380 00:22:55,200 --> 00:22:59,520 Speaker 20: precision missiles and obviously there's no surprise left if they 381 00:22:59,560 --> 00:23:02,960 Speaker 20: somehow is to get all those marines off and move 382 00:23:03,000 --> 00:23:06,880 Speaker 20: them somewhere else to launch an amphibious operation to try 383 00:23:06,920 --> 00:23:11,320 Speaker 20: to force open the straits of Hormus. Maybe, but hard 384 00:23:11,359 --> 00:23:14,920 Speaker 20: to do deception now. And second, they truly don't have 385 00:23:15,040 --> 00:23:19,680 Speaker 20: maritime superiority when the Iranians can launch as many missiles, drones, 386 00:23:20,520 --> 00:23:24,520 Speaker 20: UH and suicide suicide vessels against them as they can. 387 00:23:27,680 --> 00:23:33,280 Speaker 18: Could you could you actually uh do a without active 388 00:23:33,520 --> 00:23:37,639 Speaker 18: Arab support? Could you actually take carg Island from the 389 00:23:39,400 --> 00:23:41,960 Speaker 18: Could you actually go to carg Island unless you got 390 00:23:41,960 --> 00:23:44,639 Speaker 18: the l A h's, unless you got the amphibious ready 391 00:23:44,640 --> 00:23:47,800 Speaker 18: group at least part of the contingent into the Persian Gulf? 392 00:23:48,280 --> 00:23:50,320 Speaker 18: Or would you do it? Standoff and and and and 393 00:23:50,480 --> 00:23:54,679 Speaker 18: station the helicopters and the UH and the osprey. I 394 00:23:54,680 --> 00:23:58,480 Speaker 18: guess it's some you know up in Qatar. Uh, you know, 395 00:23:58,560 --> 00:24:01,160 Speaker 18: to the to that point, you know up I think 396 00:24:02,359 --> 00:24:06,640 Speaker 18: the MEW has Iraq, I mean, has. 397 00:24:06,560 --> 00:24:08,960 Speaker 20: I recalled that that MEW would have a maximum of 398 00:24:09,040 --> 00:24:12,520 Speaker 20: ten V twenty two is on board, and so you're 399 00:24:12,560 --> 00:24:14,640 Speaker 20: not going to move more than twenty or thirty troops 400 00:24:14,640 --> 00:24:17,440 Speaker 20: per lift. So yeah, your initial assault in the carg 401 00:24:17,520 --> 00:24:20,320 Speaker 20: Island is going to be mighty thin because those aircraft 402 00:24:20,400 --> 00:24:22,240 Speaker 20: have to cycle. And that's assuming you don't have any 403 00:24:22,280 --> 00:24:25,960 Speaker 20: losses for maintenance or for missiles. 404 00:24:26,680 --> 00:24:27,080 Speaker 14: Uh. 405 00:24:27,440 --> 00:24:29,439 Speaker 20: Do you do a mass drop of the eighty second 406 00:24:29,640 --> 00:24:30,520 Speaker 20: on the carg Island? 407 00:24:31,119 --> 00:24:33,760 Speaker 13: Again? That's uh, that's pretty sporty. 408 00:24:34,359 --> 00:24:39,280 Speaker 20: And an airborne invasion in a place that has thousands 409 00:24:39,359 --> 00:24:41,720 Speaker 20: and thousands of missiles. 410 00:24:42,480 --> 00:24:44,960 Speaker 13: Not to mention the Iranians have been learning. 411 00:24:44,960 --> 00:24:48,919 Speaker 20: They've certainly been paying attention to modern drone warfare, and 412 00:24:48,960 --> 00:24:54,280 Speaker 20: I've certainly implemented fpvs down to that squad level. I mean, 413 00:24:54,320 --> 00:24:59,639 Speaker 20: you see videos of the Israelis in southern Lebanon losing 414 00:24:59,680 --> 00:25:02,160 Speaker 20: tank to lose an armored personnel carriers to the same 415 00:25:02,320 --> 00:25:05,320 Speaker 20: fpvs that the Russians have been using with great effects 416 00:25:05,680 --> 00:25:12,600 Speaker 20: in Ukraine. So it is again, we're a fight against Iran. 417 00:25:12,840 --> 00:25:17,600 Speaker 20: They're not Arabs, They're Aryans. They are a highly intelligent, 418 00:25:18,080 --> 00:25:24,200 Speaker 20: highly skilled warfighters, and it would not be the pushover 419 00:25:24,880 --> 00:25:29,639 Speaker 20: by comparison that you see of of the Iraqi army 420 00:25:29,760 --> 00:25:34,760 Speaker 20: that worked. The other thing the Iranians have done seeing 421 00:25:34,760 --> 00:25:37,879 Speaker 20: what the US military did to Iraq in two thousand 422 00:25:37,920 --> 00:25:40,640 Speaker 20: and three and four where they decapitated all the military 423 00:25:40,640 --> 00:25:44,440 Speaker 20: command structure is they decentralized the decision making into thirty 424 00:25:44,440 --> 00:25:47,879 Speaker 20: one military districts with the standing order to make war 425 00:25:48,320 --> 00:25:51,119 Speaker 20: as much war for as long as you can, and 426 00:25:51,160 --> 00:25:54,560 Speaker 20: the only person that can countermand that is the supreme leader, 427 00:25:55,080 --> 00:25:57,119 Speaker 20: not their Minister of Defense or their Chief of the 428 00:25:57,160 --> 00:26:00,960 Speaker 20: Armed Forces or their president, only the Supreme Leader. So 429 00:26:01,480 --> 00:26:06,960 Speaker 20: it's at that point even hard to negotiate with any 430 00:26:06,960 --> 00:26:10,200 Speaker 20: of the other people that come to to meet jd 431 00:26:10,320 --> 00:26:13,359 Speaker 20: Vance or whatever. And I think we just killed the 432 00:26:14,040 --> 00:26:15,879 Speaker 20: head of the Parliament, who is the other guy that 433 00:26:15,960 --> 00:26:18,440 Speaker 20: was supposed to come and negotiate with with JD. 434 00:26:18,600 --> 00:26:18,840 Speaker 13: Vance. 435 00:26:18,920 --> 00:26:23,240 Speaker 20: So I'm not sure that US interests are even in 436 00:26:23,280 --> 00:26:26,880 Speaker 20: parallel at all to Israeli interest because they they seem 437 00:26:26,920 --> 00:26:30,560 Speaker 20: to be whacking a lot more of the leaders, taking 438 00:26:30,600 --> 00:26:33,560 Speaker 20: those names off the board, people that are supposed to 439 00:26:33,600 --> 00:26:34,439 Speaker 20: negotiating peace with. 440 00:26:37,480 --> 00:26:41,440 Speaker 18: Look, clearly President Trump I keep saying, and Rubyo picked 441 00:26:41,480 --> 00:26:44,760 Speaker 18: it up optionality. He needs optionality and needs a range 442 00:26:44,800 --> 00:26:47,040 Speaker 18: of alternatives. And you're never going to give your strategy. 443 00:26:47,200 --> 00:26:51,720 Speaker 18: How that being said, the National Security Advisor Marco Ruby 444 00:26:51,760 --> 00:26:53,960 Speaker 18: and the Vice President were pretty adamant to go back 445 00:26:54,000 --> 00:26:56,560 Speaker 18: to the military objectas President Trump doesn't even refer to 446 00:26:56,600 --> 00:26:58,880 Speaker 18: as a warning more it's a military operation. You've got 447 00:26:58,880 --> 00:27:03,400 Speaker 18: those four or five objectives of you know, de industrialize them, 448 00:27:03,760 --> 00:27:05,800 Speaker 18: taking out the Navy, taking out the Air Force. There 449 00:27:05,880 --> 00:27:10,760 Speaker 18: their their defense capabilities, air capabilities. We have air supremacy now, 450 00:27:10,800 --> 00:27:15,280 Speaker 18: at least air superiority. You know, and Marco was adamant, 451 00:27:15,320 --> 00:27:17,280 Speaker 18: are pretty adamant and repeated many times. 452 00:27:17,280 --> 00:27:18,720 Speaker 14: We're not going to need combat troops for. 453 00:27:18,760 --> 00:27:23,440 Speaker 18: This is is is the combat troops we have in 454 00:27:23,520 --> 00:27:27,439 Speaker 18: another ten thousand being prepped? Is that so President Trump 455 00:27:27,560 --> 00:27:31,320 Speaker 18: has another option? Is it we're leverage against these guys? 456 00:27:31,400 --> 00:27:31,920 Speaker 14: Or how real? 457 00:27:32,080 --> 00:27:34,960 Speaker 18: How real do you feel right now moving into take 458 00:27:35,240 --> 00:27:37,439 Speaker 18: to make sure they take that those those couple of 459 00:27:37,440 --> 00:27:38,640 Speaker 18: islands down by straight. 460 00:27:38,440 --> 00:27:40,880 Speaker 14: Or horror moves than carg Island, And you're. 461 00:27:41,520 --> 00:27:45,040 Speaker 18: Thinking this through and putting in that logistics base or 462 00:27:45,080 --> 00:27:49,320 Speaker 18: that logistics premise a predicate, How real do you think 463 00:27:49,359 --> 00:27:52,040 Speaker 18: we're moving on with the cheerleading of Mark Levin and 464 00:27:52,040 --> 00:27:54,200 Speaker 18: Tiesen and all these other you know, the Lindsay Grahams 465 00:27:54,200 --> 00:27:56,840 Speaker 18: of the world, how realistic do you think it looks 466 00:27:56,840 --> 00:27:57,959 Speaker 18: like combat troops? 467 00:27:59,200 --> 00:28:01,360 Speaker 13: Well, unlike the shattering classes in Washington. 468 00:28:01,320 --> 00:28:03,720 Speaker 20: And see I've actually sailed through the streets of Hormos 469 00:28:03,760 --> 00:28:07,240 Speaker 20: on a sailboat, oddly enough, with a huge blackwater logo 470 00:28:07,359 --> 00:28:08,800 Speaker 20: on the sail doing a. 471 00:28:08,800 --> 00:28:10,480 Speaker 13: Race du bay, a musket race. 472 00:28:13,040 --> 00:28:16,320 Speaker 20: It's narrow, and those two islands on the north side, 473 00:28:16,359 --> 00:28:19,359 Speaker 20: one is Kesham and one is Laric Keshim is the 474 00:28:19,359 --> 00:28:22,000 Speaker 20: size of Okinawa. Laric is the size of you Regima. 475 00:28:22,600 --> 00:28:27,080 Speaker 20: Anybody that knows anything of American maritime amphibious history knows 476 00:28:27,119 --> 00:28:30,480 Speaker 20: those names and how many thousands and thousands of soldiers 477 00:28:30,800 --> 00:28:35,400 Speaker 20: were killed by a very dug in enemy. Now, those 478 00:28:35,440 --> 00:28:39,760 Speaker 20: islands are generally flat, so even if you put guys 479 00:28:39,800 --> 00:28:46,040 Speaker 20: over the beach and you take them the bunkers prepared 480 00:28:46,080 --> 00:28:50,360 Speaker 20: fortifications which I would imagine are there worse than that. 481 00:28:50,640 --> 00:28:55,160 Speaker 20: On the mainland Iran, there are mountains very very close 482 00:28:55,200 --> 00:29:01,320 Speaker 20: by which are also laced with caves, tunnels and survivability 483 00:29:01,720 --> 00:29:05,600 Speaker 20: from which can be launched rockets, missiles, and drones, making 484 00:29:05,680 --> 00:29:07,880 Speaker 20: both of those islands that you're trying to put but 485 00:29:08,000 --> 00:29:13,600 Speaker 20: potentially putting reads ashore as one large beaten zone. And 486 00:29:13,720 --> 00:29:16,800 Speaker 20: I think it's important to think of other military history 487 00:29:16,880 --> 00:29:21,080 Speaker 20: of a brand amphibious operation planned by the British in 488 00:29:21,120 --> 00:29:24,240 Speaker 20: World War Two at Gallipoli, right, which is to try 489 00:29:24,280 --> 00:29:27,960 Speaker 20: to take the Dardanelles and take out Turkey from the war. 490 00:29:28,680 --> 00:29:32,080 Speaker 20: And it ended very badly because they never seized the highlands, 491 00:29:32,200 --> 00:29:34,360 Speaker 20: and so seizing those highlands. 492 00:29:35,680 --> 00:29:36,480 Speaker 14: It's critical. 493 00:29:36,960 --> 00:29:41,080 Speaker 18: Hang of one second you went there, you brought up Gallipoli. 494 00:29:41,840 --> 00:29:44,240 Speaker 18: We're gonna make you stick around. Eric Princess with us 495 00:29:44,240 --> 00:29:48,920 Speaker 18: on Palm Sunday. Captain James Fanel, Doctor Bradley Thayer on 496 00:29:49,040 --> 00:29:49,720 Speaker 18: the War Ones. 497 00:29:49,640 --> 00:30:03,360 Speaker 17: One War Room, use your host, Stephen K. 498 00:30:03,560 --> 00:30:03,800 Speaker 12: Bath. 499 00:30:06,280 --> 00:30:09,320 Speaker 18: So Ben Harnwell has gotten us.

And so again, 514 00:31:10,840 --> 00:31:16,560 Speaker 20: keeping with his obligation and joy to celebrate Mass on 515 00:31:16,640 --> 00:31:20,680 Speaker 20: Palm Sunday, to be blocked is just ridiculous. 516 00:31:20,080 --> 00:31:23,000 Speaker 13: And he knowing that guy, he did not. 517 00:31:23,000 --> 00:31:28,640 Speaker 20: Do that as some provocation but an expectation, as his 518 00:31:28,760 --> 00:31:34,360 Speaker 20: forefathers did, as his predecessors did for centuries, even during 519 00:31:34,400 --> 00:31:38,680 Speaker 20: other wars World War one, World War two, other clashes 520 00:31:38,720 --> 00:31:42,040 Speaker 20: in the Middle East, mass was always open for business, 521 00:31:42,400 --> 00:31:44,480 Speaker 20: but not apparently under the IDF. 522 00:31:44,600 --> 00:31:49,360 Speaker 14: Now, yeah, we're going to get more into that. 523 00:31:49,440 --> 00:31:51,880 Speaker 18: By the way, So you were talking about Gallipoli, right, 524 00:31:51,960 --> 00:31:56,840 Speaker 18: and this is from the landmark arian, the great historian 525 00:31:57,000 --> 00:32:00,240 Speaker 18: of Alexander the greats campaign on his retreat back from 526 00:32:00,240 --> 00:32:05,320 Speaker 18: India where I guess Eric his generals they had a 527 00:32:05,400 --> 00:32:07,840 Speaker 18: council of war when they got too far in India, 528 00:32:07,920 --> 00:32:11,000 Speaker 18: after they'd gone through the Kyber passed and fought their 529 00:32:11,000 --> 00:32:13,640 Speaker 18: way with eight thousand miles, they said, hey, maybe we 530 00:32:13,680 --> 00:32:17,160 Speaker 18: ought to just go back to Baghdad or Babylon and regroup. 531 00:32:18,000 --> 00:32:20,400 Speaker 18: That's the coast you're talking about. That camera can be 532 00:32:20,440 --> 00:32:24,960 Speaker 18: pulled in. And if you read this history, as you 533 00:32:25,040 --> 00:32:27,560 Speaker 18: know Eric, it was absolutely brutal. In fact, it was 534 00:32:27,560 --> 00:32:31,680 Speaker 18: such a brutal retreat our march back up country that 535 00:32:31,760 --> 00:32:35,040 Speaker 18: he put half of his army with one of his generals, on. 536 00:32:35,360 --> 00:32:37,640 Speaker 14: A fleet that went through hormones. 537 00:32:37,920 --> 00:32:41,120 Speaker 18: And when people say it's twenty one miles wide the 538 00:32:41,200 --> 00:32:43,880 Speaker 18: channel itself, I think it's like two miles. 539 00:32:43,920 --> 00:32:44,600 Speaker 14: They say five. 540 00:32:44,680 --> 00:32:47,400 Speaker 18: But having I didn't have the pleasure of going on 541 00:32:47,520 --> 00:32:52,880 Speaker 18: Eric's Blackwater excursion, I actually did it on a Navy combatant. 542 00:32:53,040 --> 00:32:55,920 Speaker 18: But you're right, it's a. 543 00:32:55,680 --> 00:32:57,040 Speaker 14: Very dangerous sea detail. 544 00:32:57,880 --> 00:33:00,560 Speaker 18: And that's under the best circumstances, right, just with so 545 00:33:00,640 --> 00:33:02,920 Speaker 18: much traffic in these little dows going around kind of 546 00:33:02,920 --> 00:33:06,680 Speaker 18: like going into Hong Kong in the old days. But Eric, 547 00:33:06,720 --> 00:33:10,000 Speaker 18: you brought up Gallipoli talk about this second said, this 548 00:33:10,040 --> 00:33:11,000 Speaker 18: is very in hospital. 549 00:33:11,040 --> 00:33:12,720 Speaker 14: You got right when you go through Hermoge, you got 550 00:33:12,720 --> 00:33:13,440 Speaker 14: those cliffs. 551 00:33:13,880 --> 00:33:17,080 Speaker 18: In fact, I don't even think that the tribes down there, 552 00:33:17,160 --> 00:33:19,280 Speaker 18: I believe are not even Persian. I think it down 553 00:33:19,320 --> 00:33:23,360 Speaker 18: there they got some Arab tribes that think it's their territory. 554 00:33:23,960 --> 00:33:27,000 Speaker 18: They're very territorial. These are kind of like the Houtis. 555 00:33:27,120 --> 00:33:30,680 Speaker 18: These are tough kind of mountain people, the very tough 556 00:33:32,000 --> 00:33:35,160 Speaker 18: you know, nri and we tried to take them out 557 00:33:35,160 --> 00:33:39,120 Speaker 18: with with the with the two thousand pound bombs, and 558 00:33:39,600 --> 00:33:41,840 Speaker 18: you know these guys are these guys are fighters. 559 00:33:41,960 --> 00:33:44,360 Speaker 14: But why do you do the comparison to Gallipoli. 560 00:33:45,600 --> 00:33:50,080 Speaker 20: Well, that was a planned, massive amphibious operation planned by 561 00:33:50,080 --> 00:33:53,040 Speaker 20: the British against the Turkey the Turks in World War One, 562 00:33:54,400 --> 00:33:58,760 Speaker 20: and it went terribly sixty thousand dead, two hundred and 563 00:33:58,800 --> 00:34:05,400 Speaker 20: fifty thousand casualties, dozens of vessels lost. Again assaulting up 564 00:34:06,720 --> 00:34:10,800 Speaker 20: difficult terrain. Those islands, like I talked about in the 565 00:34:10,600 --> 00:34:13,560 Speaker 20: in the in the Gulf are are fairly flat, but 566 00:34:13,600 --> 00:34:18,400 Speaker 20: they're immediately backed by steep terrain which contains lots and 567 00:34:18,440 --> 00:34:23,640 Speaker 20: lots and lots of fortifications. Again fifteen point plan. Whatever 568 00:34:23,760 --> 00:34:27,520 Speaker 20: I want, trust me, I want America to succeed. I 569 00:34:27,560 --> 00:34:31,480 Speaker 20: want this to be done. This is I don't believe 570 00:34:31,520 --> 00:34:33,520 Speaker 20: this was in our strategic interest in the first place. 571 00:34:33,600 --> 00:34:35,920 Speaker 20: So I would like to extricate the United States as 572 00:34:36,000 --> 00:34:41,719 Speaker 20: quickly and as painlessly as possible. But trying smashing in 573 00:34:43,800 --> 00:34:47,399 Speaker 20: with an amphibious operation in the front door is exceedingly 574 00:34:47,960 --> 00:34:53,560 Speaker 20: dangerous course of course of action, especially right if we 575 00:34:53,680 --> 00:35:01,920 Speaker 20: think again, the men in Washington is, oh, we've serviced 576 00:35:01,920 --> 00:35:03,360 Speaker 20: all these targets and there's only. 577 00:35:03,160 --> 00:35:04,759 Speaker 13: A few left, and it's great. 578 00:35:04,960 --> 00:35:08,480 Speaker 20: We did that already, supposedly to the Houtis, who had 579 00:35:08,480 --> 00:35:11,560 Speaker 20: been who had been shut They shut down the Sudd 580 00:35:11,560 --> 00:35:14,120 Speaker 20: and then in the Red Sea another choke point waterway 581 00:35:14,200 --> 00:35:19,520 Speaker 20: called the babumandab pouring billions of dollars worth of precision 582 00:35:19,560 --> 00:35:24,160 Speaker 20: weapons supposedly into those Hooti positions. Now the houtis compared 583 00:35:24,160 --> 00:35:27,160 Speaker 20: to the irgc are arag Peg ragtag bunch of guys. 584 00:35:27,600 --> 00:35:30,320 Speaker 20: And yet over that year and a half, two years 585 00:35:30,360 --> 00:35:34,120 Speaker 20: never affected their ability to choke off that waterway. 586 00:35:34,200 --> 00:35:36,040 Speaker 13: And so now if we think we're going to force 587 00:35:36,080 --> 00:35:36,680 Speaker 13: our way. 588 00:35:36,560 --> 00:35:42,680 Speaker 18: In, yeah, the horror moves just for our for audience, 589 00:35:43,440 --> 00:35:45,920 Speaker 18: for our audience on a Sunday morning, just for people 590 00:35:45,960 --> 00:35:47,319 Speaker 18: that have been over there and had to deal with this. 591 00:35:47,400 --> 00:35:49,480 Speaker 14: You get the hooties. You got guys in Afghanistan. 592 00:35:50,000 --> 00:35:51,640 Speaker 18: This is kind of, I say, the equivalent of the 593 00:35:51,640 --> 00:35:56,799 Speaker 18: Scotch Irish in Appalatia. These are tough ombrees. The houtis 594 00:35:57,239 --> 00:36:00,200 Speaker 18: the Egyptian Army lost I think twenty five thousand men 595 00:36:00,719 --> 00:36:03,440 Speaker 18: decades ago under Nassa trying to take them out. The 596 00:36:03,760 --> 00:36:08,479 Speaker 18: fifty the British, these are tough ombres. We've just seen 597 00:36:08,680 --> 00:36:12,839 Speaker 18: since President Trump came into power in seventeen, we saw 598 00:36:13,800 --> 00:36:15,440 Speaker 18: the Saudia's which are a disaster. 599 00:36:15,640 --> 00:36:17,800 Speaker 14: They're pretty pathetic. 600 00:36:17,840 --> 00:36:19,800 Speaker 18: But then you had you Ae, You've had some pretty 601 00:36:20,400 --> 00:36:24,000 Speaker 18: good operators take their best punch of these guys, and 602 00:36:24,040 --> 00:36:27,000 Speaker 18: including the United States Navy last summer, and they're still 603 00:36:27,040 --> 00:36:28,759 Speaker 18: kind of around. Hey for a second, because I know, 604 00:36:28,800 --> 00:36:32,200 Speaker 18: we got captain let's bring a Captain Fanel. Captain Fanel, 605 00:36:33,640 --> 00:36:36,320 Speaker 18: Marco Rubio and the Vice President are kind of taking 606 00:36:36,640 --> 00:36:39,759 Speaker 18: your line of saying, hey, look, we've got military objectives. 607 00:36:39,760 --> 00:36:46,960 Speaker 18: That's a military operation. We're pounding, we're defanging and declining. Historically, 608 00:36:47,280 --> 00:36:49,720 Speaker 18: we got a couple more weeks. Maybe that's two weeks, 609 00:36:49,840 --> 00:36:52,200 Speaker 18: maybe it's four weeks, but there's some period of time 610 00:36:52,280 --> 00:36:56,160 Speaker 18: that Armical Cooper has a timeline and the chairm of 611 00:36:56,160 --> 00:36:59,040 Speaker 18: the Joint Chiefs, General Kane, has a timeline, and we're 612 00:36:59,040 --> 00:37:01,680 Speaker 18: moving down here. Do you still believe in? I know, 613 00:37:01,719 --> 00:37:04,600 Speaker 18: because you're you're you've got a lot of insight baseball 614 00:37:04,600 --> 00:37:07,400 Speaker 18: on this. Do you stink we're still progressing down that 615 00:37:08,080 --> 00:37:10,520 Speaker 18: at the rate that you felt at first? 616 00:37:12,520 --> 00:37:16,319 Speaker 21: There's no question about us, Steve, we are progressing. Even 617 00:37:16,360 --> 00:37:19,839 Speaker 21: that Syentcom commanders said on I think on Friday that 618 00:37:20,160 --> 00:37:23,080 Speaker 21: we are on schedule or ahead of schedule, to the 619 00:37:23,120 --> 00:37:25,680 Speaker 21: plan that they've had. I think there's a bit of 620 00:37:25,760 --> 00:37:30,799 Speaker 21: cognizant cognizant dissonance going on in the media and what 621 00:37:30,840 --> 00:37:35,239 Speaker 21: we're hearing and being subjected to. And I saw the 622 00:37:35,280 --> 00:37:37,319 Speaker 21: front page of the New York Times today. There's an 623 00:37:37,400 --> 00:37:41,400 Speaker 21: article top above the fold quote a toothless Iran question 624 00:37:41,520 --> 00:37:45,160 Speaker 21: mark missiles and drone strikes show it can still inflict pain. 625 00:37:45,760 --> 00:37:49,080 Speaker 21: So that's the messaging that we're hearing from the media 626 00:37:49,120 --> 00:37:49,760 Speaker 21: and from all. 627 00:37:49,680 --> 00:37:50,560 Speaker 6: Kinds of sources. 628 00:37:51,120 --> 00:37:53,960 Speaker 21: And if that's true, and I think it is. I 629 00:37:53,960 --> 00:37:57,600 Speaker 21: think there's still some capability in and around clearly. But 630 00:37:57,640 --> 00:38:00,920 Speaker 21: if that's true, then how come we're not getting kind 631 00:38:00,920 --> 00:38:06,000 Speaker 21: of an objective assessment of what eleven thousand strike fights, flights, 632 00:38:06,200 --> 00:38:11,040 Speaker 21: combat missions, and over eleven thousand targets have struck and 633 00:38:11,120 --> 00:38:15,600 Speaker 21: targets that are like the Iranian Command Control centers, Iranian 634 00:38:15,640 --> 00:38:22,720 Speaker 21: communications military communications stations, IRGC headquarters, iERG intelligence sites, blistic 635 00:38:22,800 --> 00:38:28,359 Speaker 21: missile sites, drone sites, ballistic missile production facilities, drone production facilities, 636 00:38:28,760 --> 00:38:31,640 Speaker 21: and their navy with over one hundred and fifty vessels struck, 637 00:38:32,000 --> 00:38:34,839 Speaker 21: ninety two percent of their navy is erased. Their entire 638 00:38:34,960 --> 00:38:39,200 Speaker 21: Air Force is erased, and we are flying A tens. 639 00:38:39,960 --> 00:38:44,880 Speaker 21: We're flying Apache helicopters in and around and over Iranian territory. 640 00:38:45,200 --> 00:38:48,000 Speaker 21: Plus F fifteen's F sixteens, F twenty two is F 641 00:38:48,040 --> 00:38:52,759 Speaker 21: thirty fives. We're dominating them, but we're not getting that appreciation. 642 00:38:53,000 --> 00:38:55,440 Speaker 21: So what we hear is, well, we're going to get 643 00:38:55,440 --> 00:38:58,319 Speaker 21: a non sequitor about the Dardnells and Gallipoli as if 644 00:38:58,360 --> 00:39:01,640 Speaker 21: we didn't ever study history ourselves. We're getting a lot 645 00:39:01,680 --> 00:39:05,120 Speaker 21: of negativism where we should be asking ourselves, what is 646 00:39:05,160 --> 00:39:10,840 Speaker 21: the community the impact of four weeks of daily strikes 647 00:39:11,160 --> 00:39:14,279 Speaker 21: by the United States and Israel. And when then you 648 00:39:14,400 --> 00:39:18,160 Speaker 21: listen to the leadership, the President, the Secretary of War, 649 00:39:18,560 --> 00:39:22,080 Speaker 21: the National Security Advisor, the Vice President, all saying we're 650 00:39:22,080 --> 00:39:26,640 Speaker 21: there to neuter Iranian military capability. They're not saying they're 651 00:39:26,640 --> 00:39:30,840 Speaker 21: invading anything. They're talking about getting rid of the gun 652 00:39:31,000 --> 00:39:33,759 Speaker 21: from the Iranian regime and we're working on that. 653 00:39:33,840 --> 00:39:34,560 Speaker 6: Does that mean. 654 00:39:34,520 --> 00:39:37,479 Speaker 21: Every pistol will be destroyed? Does that mean every guy 655 00:39:37,480 --> 00:39:40,200 Speaker 21: in a cave will be destroyed? No, But what it 656 00:39:40,280 --> 00:39:43,319 Speaker 21: means is the massive build up that they've had for 657 00:39:43,360 --> 00:39:47,719 Speaker 21: fifty years, funded by the United States, funded by Russia, 658 00:39:47,760 --> 00:39:53,120 Speaker 21: funded by China. That's all being destroyed systematically, and that 659 00:39:53,320 --> 00:39:55,960 Speaker 21: is the mission that the President said. And I think 660 00:39:56,000 --> 00:39:59,719 Speaker 21: what's happened over since Vietnam, since I was a young 661 00:39:59,760 --> 00:40:03,400 Speaker 21: man and watch the Vietnam War and watch Walter Cronkin, 662 00:40:03,760 --> 00:40:07,839 Speaker 21: we have seen the politicization of our military analysts, our 663 00:40:07,880 --> 00:40:11,960 Speaker 21: military personnel are admirals and our generals and the people. 664 00:40:11,640 --> 00:40:12,600 Speaker 6: That report on it. 665 00:40:12,920 --> 00:40:15,360 Speaker 21: So now when we talk about war, we want to 666 00:40:15,400 --> 00:40:18,839 Speaker 21: talk about you know that go in four weeks right 667 00:40:18,920 --> 00:40:19,640 Speaker 21: to some kind. 668 00:40:19,520 --> 00:40:20,960 Speaker 6: Of what is the political outcome? 669 00:40:21,080 --> 00:40:23,680 Speaker 21: How come we haven't solved this as opposed to saying 670 00:40:23,920 --> 00:40:27,200 Speaker 21: we're going after a nation that spent forty seven years 671 00:40:27,400 --> 00:40:30,759 Speaker 21: arming itself as one of the most armed nations on 672 00:40:30,840 --> 00:40:35,920 Speaker 21: the planet, and we're systematically destroying it, and that this 673 00:40:36,040 --> 00:40:38,400 Speaker 21: idea that we're going to want to have immediate results, 674 00:40:39,239 --> 00:40:43,359 Speaker 21: you know, instant gratification without addressing if. 675 00:40:43,600 --> 00:40:50,560 Speaker 18: If hang on, hang on, hang on, hang on, because 676 00:40:50,600 --> 00:40:53,120 Speaker 18: I feel like I'm getting I feel like I'm getting 677 00:40:53,200 --> 00:40:57,120 Speaker 18: Robert mcnamaray's report during Vietnam. I just find if this 678 00:40:57,320 --> 00:41:02,600 Speaker 18: is the case, no case of say hang on, hang on, 679 00:41:02,800 --> 00:41:04,719 Speaker 18: you give me the moral equivalent of a body count. 680 00:41:04,760 --> 00:41:07,440 Speaker 18: You give me a rocket count, you give me exactly. 681 00:41:07,520 --> 00:41:10,520 Speaker 18: You're doing nothing more than given a body count. However, 682 00:41:11,320 --> 00:41:13,960 Speaker 18: if that's the case, how did the Iranians shift and 683 00:41:14,000 --> 00:41:17,319 Speaker 18: take the initiative. They're getting so bombed, they've shifted the 684 00:41:17,360 --> 00:41:19,600 Speaker 18: center of gravity. You do agree, the center gravity this 685 00:41:19,680 --> 00:41:22,080 Speaker 18: war is not Tehran. The center gravity of this war 686 00:41:22,840 --> 00:41:25,319 Speaker 18: is the Persian Gulf and the straight of horror moves, Sir, 687 00:41:26,760 --> 00:41:28,360 Speaker 18: the center. 688 00:41:28,120 --> 00:41:31,280 Speaker 21: Of gravity is the Iranian regime and their ability to 689 00:41:31,360 --> 00:41:34,960 Speaker 21: threaten and inflict harm on United States, and or. 690 00:41:35,000 --> 00:41:37,480 Speaker 14: I just ask you reason. Then then you don't. 691 00:41:37,520 --> 00:41:39,680 Speaker 18: Then you don't, Then you don't understand where the center 692 00:41:39,719 --> 00:41:42,799 Speaker 18: gravity this battle has been for three weeks, since the 693 00:41:42,920 --> 00:41:49,920 Speaker 18: since the since the Israelis bombed. The center the center no, no, no, no, 694 00:41:49,960 --> 00:41:52,920 Speaker 18: not important, the center gravity of this battle. If you 695 00:41:52,960 --> 00:41:56,520 Speaker 18: think the center gravity of the battle is Tehran, you're 696 00:41:56,560 --> 00:41:59,040 Speaker 18: not understanding what's going on here. The center gravity this 697 00:41:59,120 --> 00:42:02,520 Speaker 18: battle has been now for two weeks. The Persian golf 698 00:42:02,520 --> 00:42:03,600 Speaker 18: and the straight of her moves. 699 00:42:03,760 --> 00:42:04,440 Speaker 14: That's obvious. 700 00:42:05,480 --> 00:42:08,080 Speaker 6: Moons, how do you control the straight of horror? 701 00:42:08,080 --> 00:42:11,760 Speaker 14: Moons moves? 702 00:42:12,640 --> 00:42:14,640 Speaker 6: Matt Namaras and not important. 703 00:42:14,840 --> 00:42:18,640 Speaker 21: We've got to get the military to destroy their capability. 704 00:42:19,120 --> 00:42:24,200 Speaker 19: Then why they're working when when we were there in 705 00:42:24,360 --> 00:42:29,400 Speaker 19: night hanging, when we were there in nineteen seventy nine 706 00:42:29,520 --> 00:42:31,399 Speaker 19: nineteen eighty, we controlled the straight of her moves. 707 00:42:31,400 --> 00:42:34,600 Speaker 18: We sent combatants up there to do early morning for 708 00:42:34,760 --> 00:42:36,960 Speaker 18: Russian aircraft, so we controlled it. 709 00:42:37,000 --> 00:42:38,200 Speaker 14: Then we don't control it now. 710 00:42:38,239 --> 00:42:40,399 Speaker 18: The United States Navy has not gone near there as 711 00:42:40,440 --> 00:42:42,280 Speaker 18: it sir Am I missing. 712 00:42:42,400 --> 00:42:44,640 Speaker 6: Yet, that's my point. 713 00:42:44,680 --> 00:42:47,919 Speaker 14: We're being Yet, don't have you've shut down, you've shut down, 714 00:42:48,120 --> 00:42:48,840 Speaker 14: you've shut. 715 00:42:48,680 --> 00:42:53,440 Speaker 18: You're you're in the process of destroying the world's economy. 716 00:42:54,200 --> 00:42:56,720 Speaker 18: Why that's my point is the center gravity is there. 717 00:42:57,120 --> 00:43:00,160 Speaker 18: Don't get me wrong. For limited military operation, which we 718 00:43:00,200 --> 00:43:03,640 Speaker 18: are doing against the regime, and I think doing magnificently, 719 00:43:04,440 --> 00:43:05,320 Speaker 18: that's what's happening. 720 00:43:05,320 --> 00:43:08,840 Speaker 14: But that's that's the moral equivalent of the body count 721 00:43:09,960 --> 00:43:14,960 Speaker 14: trained to chop up. Okay, go ahead, let's talk about facts. 722 00:43:15,840 --> 00:43:18,719 Speaker 21: Well, the facts are there hasn't been a mine in 723 00:43:18,760 --> 00:43:23,560 Speaker 21: the Strait. United United Kingdom Maritime Trade Office and their 724 00:43:23,640 --> 00:43:28,880 Speaker 21: Joint Maritime Information Reports are consistently saying there's no confirmed 725 00:43:29,040 --> 00:43:29,800 Speaker 21: minds in the string. 726 00:43:29,880 --> 00:43:33,000 Speaker 18: Hang on second, Jim, Jim, Okay, this right, hang on, 727 00:43:33,160 --> 00:43:36,160 Speaker 18: Hang on hang on, hang on, hang on, We're gonna 728 00:43:36,200 --> 00:43:39,719 Speaker 18: go to break right back. But you do agree that 729 00:43:39,800 --> 00:43:43,680 Speaker 18: the Revolutionary Guard has set up a toll booth for 730 00:43:43,760 --> 00:43:44,279 Speaker 18: the first time. 731 00:43:44,280 --> 00:43:46,359 Speaker 14: They have a toll booth, and they let in who 732 00:43:46,360 --> 00:43:46,719 Speaker 14: they want. 733 00:43:46,760 --> 00:43:48,960 Speaker 18: I think they let ten ships of the last couple 734 00:43:49,000 --> 00:43:51,080 Speaker 18: of days, of which they take a toll to go 735 00:43:51,120 --> 00:43:54,080 Speaker 18: to their partners, of which I think we allow them 736 00:43:54,080 --> 00:43:56,800 Speaker 18: to monetize their or anyway, Captain for now, Eric, Prince, 737 00:43:57,120 --> 00:43:57,480 Speaker 18: all of it. 738 00:43:57,560 --> 00:44:03,719 Speaker 14: Next war room, here's your host, Stephen k back. 739 00:44:06,440 --> 00:44:08,160 Speaker 18: So Eric, I m grey back to Campa for now, 740 00:44:08,160 --> 00:44:12,000 Speaker 18: but jump in any any any observations, and please no 741 00:44:12,000 --> 00:44:14,359 Speaker 18: non secuturs like Gallipoli again, sir. 742 00:44:16,160 --> 00:44:18,600 Speaker 20: Look, they had to they had to drive the MEW 743 00:44:19,560 --> 00:44:23,040 Speaker 20: over from the Pacific area, and they had to launch 744 00:44:23,080 --> 00:44:27,920 Speaker 20: another MEW urgently all the way from California, because I 745 00:44:27,960 --> 00:44:29,800 Speaker 20: don't think they really figured they were going to close 746 00:44:29,840 --> 00:44:32,560 Speaker 20: the straits of horn Moves. Yeah, the straits of Horror 747 00:44:32,560 --> 00:44:35,120 Speaker 20: Moves are the center of gravity. And the question is 748 00:44:35,200 --> 00:44:37,480 Speaker 20: it will remain closed and it will remain under the 749 00:44:37,520 --> 00:44:42,120 Speaker 20: control or influence of the IRGC for a long long time. 750 00:44:42,160 --> 00:44:46,360 Speaker 20: Their ability to inflict pain on any vessel transiting there 751 00:44:47,200 --> 00:44:50,279 Speaker 20: will remain extremely high even if you even if you 752 00:44:50,360 --> 00:44:53,239 Speaker 20: take the first fifty or one hundred miles of the 753 00:44:53,280 --> 00:44:56,280 Speaker 20: Straits of hor Moves, they can still launch and smash 754 00:44:56,360 --> 00:44:58,400 Speaker 20: commercial vessels. 755 00:44:59,360 --> 00:45:00,320 Speaker 13: There haven't been any. 756 00:45:00,560 --> 00:45:05,359 Speaker 20: Commercial vessels attacked or mines apparently, yeah, because they haven't 757 00:45:05,400 --> 00:45:09,560 Speaker 20: been trying to transit. Any vessels that are transitting are 758 00:45:09,600 --> 00:45:12,920 Speaker 20: now being forced through a narrow channel, not through the 759 00:45:12,960 --> 00:45:16,440 Speaker 20: normal shipping channel, but through the toll gate erected by 760 00:45:16,480 --> 00:45:20,520 Speaker 20: the Iranians going between Leric and Keshum Islands. So that 761 00:45:21,000 --> 00:45:23,520 Speaker 20: you're right, the center of gravity is the Straits of 762 00:45:23,560 --> 00:45:27,239 Speaker 20: war Moves. That is the basically the polled grenade pin 763 00:45:27,400 --> 00:45:29,919 Speaker 20: they have against the rest of the world economy. When 764 00:45:29,920 --> 00:45:34,280 Speaker 20: you have all of East Asian's economies going on severe 765 00:45:34,360 --> 00:45:38,920 Speaker 20: fuel rationing. Now thirty percent of the world's fertilizer supply, 766 00:45:39,040 --> 00:45:41,200 Speaker 20: twenty two percent of the gas, twenty percent of the 767 00:45:41,239 --> 00:45:43,560 Speaker 20: crude that's supposed to pass to the Straits of War 768 00:45:43,640 --> 00:45:48,080 Speaker 20: Moves largely is not other than the ones solely authorized 769 00:45:48,320 --> 00:45:52,600 Speaker 20: by the IRGC. Like to their friends the Chinese Communist Party, 770 00:45:52,640 --> 00:45:55,879 Speaker 20: this is not the first thing, like the first thing 771 00:45:55,880 --> 00:45:58,400 Speaker 20: you're supposed to learn when you join the US Navy 772 00:45:58,480 --> 00:46:02,200 Speaker 20: is power projection chow point control. We now the US 773 00:46:02,280 --> 00:46:04,600 Speaker 20: Navy does not control two choke points in the world. 774 00:46:05,239 --> 00:46:08,520 Speaker 13: This is bad, the. 775 00:46:08,520 --> 00:46:11,160 Speaker 18: Other choke point being the gated tiers down there at 776 00:46:11,160 --> 00:46:12,200 Speaker 18: the Red Sea of. 777 00:46:12,320 --> 00:46:17,680 Speaker 14: Where the hooties are the bibbleman, Dob hang on one second, Eric, 778 00:46:17,680 --> 00:46:18,160 Speaker 14: hang around. 779 00:46:18,360 --> 00:46:22,879 Speaker 18: Captain Finel, your assessment of this situation in the straight 780 00:46:22,920 --> 00:46:25,480 Speaker 18: oh removes and and all the way up to carg Island, 781 00:46:25,880 --> 00:46:28,880 Speaker 18: your assessment, Well. 782 00:46:29,000 --> 00:46:33,040 Speaker 21: There's no question is it is an important the point 783 00:46:33,560 --> 00:46:36,319 Speaker 21: that you've all said, and I'm not disagreeing with that fundamentally. 784 00:46:36,360 --> 00:46:39,319 Speaker 21: The question is how do you open it? And the 785 00:46:39,440 --> 00:46:42,040 Speaker 21: answer has to be to continue the plan that we're 786 00:46:42,040 --> 00:46:45,000 Speaker 21: working on and don't rush in there before you're ready. 787 00:46:45,320 --> 00:46:48,439 Speaker 21: And so, yes, it costs. The gas price of gas 788 00:46:48,480 --> 00:46:50,520 Speaker 21: has gone up a dollar. It's still under what it 789 00:46:50,560 --> 00:46:53,120 Speaker 21: was when Joe Biden was president. The point is is 790 00:46:53,160 --> 00:46:56,560 Speaker 21: that you have to make the battlefield ready and clear 791 00:46:56,640 --> 00:46:59,879 Speaker 21: that and I would say that indicators are that it's 792 00:47:00,080 --> 00:47:04,719 Speaker 21: becoming more and more ready to be transited by warships 793 00:47:04,719 --> 00:47:08,160 Speaker 21: that are escorting and providing these escorts for these tankers 794 00:47:08,200 --> 00:47:12,120 Speaker 21: in and out. Yes, they're running a tollbo through Keshman Lark. 795 00:47:12,360 --> 00:47:14,960 Speaker 21: We've seen that. But there are there ships that are 796 00:47:15,000 --> 00:47:19,280 Speaker 21: not squawking Ais that are coming through very small numbers, 797 00:47:19,480 --> 00:47:23,080 Speaker 21: less than a dozen. But this is happening. So why 798 00:47:23,280 --> 00:47:26,280 Speaker 21: is that happening? Why is it that the Iranians can't 799 00:47:26,320 --> 00:47:29,279 Speaker 21: see those ships that are not squawking Ais. Why is 800 00:47:29,320 --> 00:47:32,840 Speaker 21: it that they're The number of missile attacks and drone 801 00:47:32,880 --> 00:47:37,040 Speaker 21: attacks have dramatically dropped since twelve March, and I would 802 00:47:37,040 --> 00:47:41,239 Speaker 21: submit that it's because we are systematically destroying their capacity 803 00:47:41,280 --> 00:47:45,879 Speaker 21: to do anything in that region and all up through 804 00:47:45,960 --> 00:47:49,520 Speaker 21: the Strait of Hormuz and up up to car We're 805 00:47:49,520 --> 00:47:50,040 Speaker 21: working that. 806 00:47:50,400 --> 00:47:52,480 Speaker 6: It's not fitness yet, but we're working it. 807 00:47:52,600 --> 00:47:55,440 Speaker 21: And we're moving in and having the capacity to have 808 00:47:56,400 --> 00:47:59,239 Speaker 21: other carriers there. The FODO, by the way, with the 809 00:47:59,280 --> 00:48:02,560 Speaker 21: fire didn't go back to Konis. It left Suda Bay 810 00:48:02,600 --> 00:48:04,760 Speaker 21: and guess where it is right now. It's in Split 811 00:48:04,840 --> 00:48:08,160 Speaker 21: Yugoslavia Croatia and it's going to be repaired and probably 812 00:48:08,200 --> 00:48:11,719 Speaker 21: come back to the gunline. The USS George Bush is 813 00:48:11,719 --> 00:48:14,319 Speaker 21: now leaving the east coast and heading over to the 814 00:48:14,360 --> 00:48:18,239 Speaker 21: fight as well. So we are not backing off on 815 00:48:18,360 --> 00:48:24,600 Speaker 21: the campaign to vaporize, essentially, their missiles, their drones, their 816 00:48:24,719 --> 00:48:28,759 Speaker 21: mind layers, their fast attack speedboats, the fact that we're 817 00:48:28,760 --> 00:48:31,680 Speaker 21: flying over the strait all the time and nobody is 818 00:48:31,719 --> 00:48:35,480 Speaker 21: shot at it. Despite what Eric mentioned that the head 819 00:48:35,520 --> 00:48:39,680 Speaker 21: of the IRGC, with their down echelon command structure, ordered 820 00:48:40,080 --> 00:48:43,239 Speaker 21: their down echelon commanders to make war and make as 821 00:48:43,320 --> 00:48:46,640 Speaker 21: much as you can. That order was given four weeks ago. 822 00:48:47,000 --> 00:48:49,879 Speaker 21: So where are the results of those orders? If that's 823 00:48:49,920 --> 00:48:52,400 Speaker 21: all they can produce, then I'm trying to get across 824 00:48:52,600 --> 00:48:55,879 Speaker 21: that maybe the Iranians are hurting more than we're appreciating, 825 00:48:56,239 --> 00:48:58,520 Speaker 21: and that the fact that they get off a missile 826 00:48:58,520 --> 00:49:01,640 Speaker 21: here and there does not mean are controlling the tempo 827 00:49:01,800 --> 00:49:04,280 Speaker 21: or the timing or this operation. 828 00:49:04,680 --> 00:49:07,440 Speaker 6: That's not my point. They're not in control of this. 829 00:49:07,680 --> 00:49:10,400 Speaker 21: We are, and we have to be able to appreciate 830 00:49:10,400 --> 00:49:14,360 Speaker 21: what the cumulative effect of eleven thousand targets being struck 831 00:49:14,640 --> 00:49:17,880 Speaker 21: and many many more to be struck are having on 832 00:49:17,920 --> 00:49:21,040 Speaker 21: that regime, especially after you take out layers and layers 833 00:49:21,040 --> 00:49:25,239 Speaker 21: and layers of leaders, and their ability to communicate. If 834 00:49:25,280 --> 00:49:28,480 Speaker 21: their Russians are the Chinese are providing the Iranians with 835 00:49:28,600 --> 00:49:33,880 Speaker 21: such exquisite and is the financial times reported real time targeting, 836 00:49:34,040 --> 00:49:36,600 Speaker 21: then where are the results of that real time targeting 837 00:49:36,680 --> 00:49:39,759 Speaker 21: combined with the orders to make war and do as 838 00:49:39,840 --> 00:49:42,640 Speaker 21: much as you can. The rhetoric is not matching the 839 00:49:42,680 --> 00:49:47,200 Speaker 21: Iranians output, while our output is being underappreciated. 840 00:49:47,280 --> 00:49:48,640 Speaker 6: And I'm not saying we're winning. 841 00:49:48,880 --> 00:49:51,000 Speaker 21: I'm not saying anything else, and I'm not giving you 842 00:49:51,000 --> 00:49:54,640 Speaker 21: a body count. I'm just saying that it's not as 843 00:49:54,719 --> 00:49:57,439 Speaker 21: bad as the world's media is portraying. And I think 844 00:49:57,440 --> 00:50:00,439 Speaker 21: we should be patient and continue to do what we're 845 00:50:00,480 --> 00:50:03,400 Speaker 21: doing and stay on the plan, and let the flack 846 00:50:03,480 --> 00:50:06,319 Speaker 21: of all the naysay and go bias and keep driving. 847 00:50:06,040 --> 00:50:08,560 Speaker 6: In to destroy and kill that enemy.
