1
00:00:00,200 --> 00:00:03,760
Speaker 1: Have you heard the news the war it's won, and

2
00:00:04,320 --> 00:00:08,440
Speaker 1: in celebration of having won the war, soon will bomb

3
00:00:08,760 --> 00:00:11,720
Speaker 1: the Iranian power plans. Does that make sense to you?

4
00:00:12,280 --> 00:00:15,400
Speaker 1: It doesn't to me. It is March to twenty fifth.

5
00:00:15,560 --> 00:00:20,200
Speaker 1: I'm Steve Schmidt. This is the warning we are at

6
00:00:20,239 --> 00:00:25,400
Speaker 1: war in Iran after Donald Trump claimed to have obliterated

7
00:00:25,720 --> 00:00:30,320
Speaker 1: their nuclear program. Yet we're told the reason that we're

8
00:00:30,400 --> 00:00:34,760
Speaker 1: dropping bombs is because we need to reobliterate the program.

9
00:00:34,960 --> 00:00:38,199
Speaker 1: There has never been a strategy, no plan for what

10
00:00:38,360 --> 00:00:42,960
Speaker 1: comes next. And so nearly a month into this, the

11
00:00:43,040 --> 00:00:47,640
Speaker 1: MAGA senators are scrambling. Here's the genius, Rick Scott, here's

12
00:00:47,640 --> 00:00:48,480
Speaker 1: his strategy.

13
00:00:48,720 --> 00:00:55,520
Speaker 2: And then yesterday intimated that he thinks that whomever that

14
00:00:55,600 --> 00:01:00,360
Speaker 2: the administration is negotiating with right now is there is

15
00:01:00,360 --> 00:01:04,000
Speaker 2: it to be de facto regime change. Do you know

16
00:01:04,040 --> 00:01:07,400
Speaker 2: who it is? Is that the leader of the Iranian parliament?

17
00:01:08,120 --> 00:01:10,400
Speaker 2: And looked at some of his history, it's not it's

18
00:01:10,440 --> 00:01:12,600
Speaker 2: not good. Uh this gentleman?

19
00:01:12,720 --> 00:01:15,120
Speaker 1: Now, is he someone that that we could work with?

20
00:01:15,800 --> 00:01:17,800
Speaker 2: Uh allah?

21
00:01:18,160 --> 00:01:18,679
Speaker 3: What we saw?

22
00:01:19,520 --> 00:01:19,720
Speaker 4: Well?

23
00:01:20,120 --> 00:01:20,280
Speaker 2: No?

24
00:01:21,680 --> 00:01:24,640
Speaker 5: Well, first off, Delsea Rodriguez is not the elected president

25
00:01:24,720 --> 00:01:27,920
Speaker 5: of Venezuela. She's she's the she was part of Manduro,

26
00:01:27,959 --> 00:01:29,520
Speaker 5: She's a friend of Maduro. The only reason we have

27
00:01:29,560 --> 00:01:33,000
Speaker 5: control over Venezuela is we control the oil money, and

28
00:01:33,080 --> 00:01:35,319
Speaker 5: so we've got to have a transition to democracy there.

29
00:01:35,360 --> 00:01:39,360
Speaker 5: With regard to Ram, we don't have somebody yet. Am

30
00:01:39,360 --> 00:01:43,720
Speaker 5: I hopeful, absolutely, But you know what what's important to

31
00:01:43,720 --> 00:01:46,479
Speaker 5: me is destroy all their ability to kill us. I mean,

32
00:01:46,520 --> 00:01:49,560
Speaker 5: you can hope, you know, for a regime change, but

33
00:01:49,840 --> 00:01:52,280
Speaker 5: in the meantime, let's destroy their ability to kill more

34
00:01:52,280 --> 00:01:54,920
Speaker 5: Americans and then hope for the best and we'll see

35
00:01:54,920 --> 00:01:55,480
Speaker 5: what happens.

36
00:01:56,520 --> 00:01:59,840
Speaker 1: Here's Pete Hesa. He negotiates with bombs.

37
00:02:00,400 --> 00:02:03,520
Speaker 6: The air campaign that we've conducted that Israel's conducted alongside

38
00:02:03,600 --> 00:02:06,320
Speaker 6: us was one for the history books, truly, and it's

39
00:02:06,360 --> 00:02:08,000
Speaker 6: because we have a president of the United States that

40
00:02:08,040 --> 00:02:10,880
Speaker 6: when he sends his war fighters out to fight, he

41
00:02:10,960 --> 00:02:13,880
Speaker 6: unties their hands to actually go out and close with

42
00:02:13,960 --> 00:02:17,560
Speaker 6: and destroy the enemy as viciously as possible from moment one.

43
00:02:17,639 --> 00:02:19,360
Speaker 6: And that's why we see ourselves as part of this

44
00:02:19,400 --> 00:02:24,800
Speaker 6: negotiation as well. We negotiate with bombs. You have a choice.

45
00:02:24,880 --> 00:02:27,040
Speaker 6: As we loiter over the top of Tehran, as the

46
00:02:27,080 --> 00:02:30,320
Speaker 6: President talked about about your future president has made it

47
00:02:30,360 --> 00:02:32,640
Speaker 6: clear that you will not have a nuclear weapon. The

48
00:02:32,680 --> 00:02:35,280
Speaker 6: War Department agrees. Our job is to ensure that, and

49
00:02:35,320 --> 00:02:38,800
Speaker 6: so we're keeping our hand on that throttle as long

50
00:02:38,840 --> 00:02:41,919
Speaker 6: as hard as is necessary to ensure the interest of

51
00:02:41,960 --> 00:02:44,639
Speaker 6: the United States of America are achieved on that battlefield.

52
00:02:45,200 --> 00:02:49,440
Speaker 1: It is incredible that esthetically Trump stands next to this

53
00:02:49,600 --> 00:02:54,080
Speaker 1: buffoon in the Oval Office and thanks that he delivers

54
00:02:54,120 --> 00:02:58,119
Speaker 1: some type of confident message to the American people, as

55
00:02:58,160 --> 00:03:02,800
Speaker 1: if the Secretary of War got it. It's ludicrous. Donald

56
00:03:02,840 --> 00:03:06,160
Speaker 1: says one thing here, on a.

57
00:03:06,200 --> 00:03:09,200
Speaker 7: Human level, how hopeful are you that this peace deal

58
00:03:09,240 --> 00:03:12,320
Speaker 7: will work out? I guess a human has on a

59
00:03:12,400 --> 00:03:14,680
Speaker 7: human level, not as the president of the United States,

60
00:03:15,320 --> 00:03:17,360
Speaker 7: How hopeful are you that this peace steal will work out?

61
00:03:17,400 --> 00:03:17,880
Speaker 8: Will be wrong?

62
00:03:18,880 --> 00:03:22,240
Speaker 4: You're talking about to end it? Well, I think we're

63
00:03:22,240 --> 00:03:24,640
Speaker 4: going to end it. I can't tell you for sure.

64
00:03:27,400 --> 00:03:29,600
Speaker 4: You know, I don't like to say this. We've won

65
00:03:29,680 --> 00:03:32,639
Speaker 4: this with this war has been won. The only one

66
00:03:32,639 --> 00:03:34,600
Speaker 4: that likes to keep it going is the fake news.

67
00:03:34,639 --> 00:03:36,120
Speaker 4: I mean the New York Times. You read the New

68
00:03:36,200 --> 00:03:38,960
Speaker 4: York Times. It's like we're not winning a war where

69
00:03:39,000 --> 00:03:41,080
Speaker 4: they have no Navy and they have no air force

70
00:03:41,120 --> 00:03:42,400
Speaker 4: and they have no nothing.

71
00:03:42,760 --> 00:03:44,760
Speaker 1: And another thing over here.

72
00:03:45,000 --> 00:03:48,040
Speaker 4: They can't do a thing about it. For instance, if

73
00:03:48,080 --> 00:03:50,520
Speaker 4: I want to take down that power plant, that very

74
00:03:50,560 --> 00:03:54,200
Speaker 4: big powerful power plant, they can't do a thing about it.

75
00:03:54,200 --> 00:03:56,720
Speaker 4: It's like take me, that's all they can do.

76
00:03:57,600 --> 00:04:01,920
Speaker 1: And here's Rex Scott again talking about we have to

77
00:04:02,040 --> 00:04:06,640
Speaker 1: kill them before they kill us. After forty seven years

78
00:04:06,960 --> 00:04:09,040
Speaker 1: of unresponded to killing.

79
00:04:09,560 --> 00:04:11,880
Speaker 5: Then shut down the Horde of Straight of hor Moves

80
00:04:12,080 --> 00:04:14,560
Speaker 5: is horrible. I think more countries are going to show

81
00:04:14,640 --> 00:04:16,280
Speaker 5: up to try to open up the Straight of Hormos.

82
00:04:16,920 --> 00:04:18,960
Speaker 5: But I think I think, you know, we're going to

83
00:04:19,000 --> 00:04:21,400
Speaker 5: continue to have to eliminate their ability to do this.

84
00:04:21,480 --> 00:04:24,560
Speaker 5: And if we don't, all right, we're gonna be doing

85
00:04:24,600 --> 00:04:27,919
Speaker 5: this every few years. I mean, it's they want to

86
00:04:28,000 --> 00:04:30,680
Speaker 5: kill us. I mean we have to grow up. I mean,

87
00:04:30,960 --> 00:04:33,520
Speaker 5: we have enemies. People want to destroy our way of life.

88
00:04:33,520 --> 00:04:35,880
Speaker 5: So if we don't destroy theirs first, they're going to

89
00:04:35,960 --> 00:04:38,240
Speaker 5: kill them more, kill them, kill more Americans. They've been

90
00:04:38,320 --> 00:04:39,760
Speaker 5: killing us for forty seven years.

91
00:04:40,680 --> 00:04:46,520
Speaker 1: This is all madness. These are all justifications in search

92
00:04:46,600 --> 00:04:48,080
Speaker 1: of a wall to hang on.

93
00:04:48,880 --> 00:04:53,400
Speaker 9: There's talk about the Pentagon is supposedly dispatching two thousand troops.

94
00:04:55,080 --> 00:04:57,960
Speaker 9: How is that not put How is that not putting

95
00:04:57,960 --> 00:04:59,719
Speaker 9: boose on the ground, and you said we're not at war?

96
00:04:59,800 --> 00:05:03,840
Speaker 3: How is that not an escalation of war in Iran?

97
00:05:04,200 --> 00:05:06,200
Speaker 10: Look, I think it sends a signal to Iran that

98
00:05:06,240 --> 00:05:07,680
Speaker 10: they better get their act together.

99
00:05:07,760 --> 00:05:08,960
Speaker 3: We need to resolve this quickly.

100
00:05:08,960 --> 00:05:11,720
Speaker 10: And that's the President's interest, and that's ours, it's everyone's.

101
00:05:11,760 --> 00:05:16,160
Speaker 10: We need to Operation Epic Fury is almost done. I mean,

102
00:05:16,200 --> 00:05:19,320
Speaker 10: I think the mission that was very clearly defined in

103
00:05:19,320 --> 00:05:21,760
Speaker 10: the beginning, the objectives have been met. We have to

104
00:05:21,760 --> 00:05:24,320
Speaker 10: get the straight of Hormuz straightened out, and we need

105
00:05:24,360 --> 00:05:26,839
Speaker 10: our international partners to help with that because it's a

106
00:05:26,920 --> 00:05:30,479
Speaker 10: giant project that involves everybody around the world at some level.

107
00:05:30,560 --> 00:05:32,559
Speaker 3: So I'm optimistic that's going to happen.

108
00:05:32,839 --> 00:05:35,440
Speaker 10: The build up of troops is very different than boots

109
00:05:35,440 --> 00:05:35,920
Speaker 10: on the ground.

110
00:05:35,960 --> 00:05:37,080
Speaker 3: We don't have boots on the ground.

111
00:05:37,200 --> 00:05:39,200
Speaker 10: I don't think that's the intention, But I think Iran

112
00:05:39,240 --> 00:05:41,200
Speaker 10: should watch that build up and they need to take

113
00:05:41,240 --> 00:05:41,599
Speaker 10: note of that.

114
00:05:42,440 --> 00:05:46,440
Speaker 1: But none of them are grounded in reality. What's happening

115
00:05:46,920 --> 00:05:50,839
Speaker 1: is Donald Trump began a war of choice, and he

116
00:05:50,920 --> 00:05:53,480
Speaker 1: didn't think it through. And while the United States does

117
00:05:53,560 --> 00:05:57,760
Speaker 1: have air superiority above, Tran does not have control of

118
00:05:57,800 --> 00:06:02,279
Speaker 1: the Strait of Hormuz. Therefore, where oil is surging higher

119
00:06:02,720 --> 00:06:09,159
Speaker 1: and in higher all over the globe, destabilizing the economies,

120
00:06:09,440 --> 00:06:14,640
Speaker 1: threatening millions of jobs. Donald Trump wanted to change the

121
00:06:14,760 --> 00:06:18,919
Speaker 1: subject from the Epstein files. He hasn't had to talk

122
00:06:19,040 --> 00:06:22,760
Speaker 1: much about that, not since he started dropping bombs.

123
00:06:23,120 --> 00:06:26,120
Speaker 8: Well, listen, the first three weeks of this military conflict

124
00:06:26,200 --> 00:06:29,520
Speaker 8: have been incredibly successful. In three weeks, we've taken out

125
00:06:29,640 --> 00:06:33,279
Speaker 8: all of Iran's air defenses. We've take out virtually every

126
00:06:33,360 --> 00:06:39,480
Speaker 8: one of their short, short range, and medium range ballistic missiles.

127
00:06:39,760 --> 00:06:43,360
Speaker 8: We've taken out their missile production capacity. We've taken out

128
00:06:43,400 --> 00:06:47,440
Speaker 8: their drone capacity, We've taken out their drone manufacturing. You

129
00:06:47,440 --> 00:06:49,760
Speaker 8: look at what we've done to the navy. We've had

130
00:06:49,800 --> 00:06:52,800
Speaker 8: over eight thousand strikes in Iran and on the navy,

131
00:06:52,839 --> 00:06:55,880
Speaker 8: we have sunk more than one hundred and twenty ships.

132
00:06:55,920 --> 00:06:58,839
Speaker 8: This is the largest naval defeat, the most ships sunk

133
00:06:59,279 --> 00:07:03,120
Speaker 8: since War War two. That's in three weeks. And in

134
00:07:03,160 --> 00:07:06,640
Speaker 8: addition to that, we have decapitated the regime, taking out

135
00:07:06,720 --> 00:07:10,360
Speaker 8: not just the Ayatola. But the senior military leaders that Mullas,

136
00:07:10,360 --> 00:07:14,440
Speaker 8: who have been tyrant in that country for forty seven years.

137
00:07:15,200 --> 00:07:18,760
Speaker 1: Now that he claims the war is won, it's time,

138
00:07:19,240 --> 00:07:23,160
Speaker 1: according to Donald to drop more bombs. There has never

139
00:07:23,240 --> 00:07:27,000
Speaker 1: been a war in the entire history of the United

140
00:07:27,040 --> 00:07:32,240
Speaker 1: States that's less coherent, that makes less sense, that has

141
00:07:32,520 --> 00:07:38,800
Speaker 1: more nonsensical contradictions associated with it. Hour by hour, Donald

142
00:07:38,800 --> 00:07:43,160
Speaker 1: Trump claims victory and drops more bombs. It's a sick

143
00:07:43,360 --> 00:07:47,880
Speaker 1: form of show business and nobody should confuse it with

144
00:07:48,040 --> 00:07:51,680
Speaker 1: winning the war. The war of choice that Donald Trump

145
00:07:51,720 --> 00:07:56,240
Speaker 1: started is being lost, not one, and the implications for

146
00:07:56,320 --> 00:08:01,360
Speaker 1: that are quite serious. To say the least is the warning.

147
00:08:02,320 --> 00:08:05,640
Speaker 1: I'm Steve Schmidt. This is the warning. I invite you
