1
00:00:17,800 --> 00:00:20,439
Speaker 1: The Charlie Kirk Show starts now.

2
00:00:21,239 --> 00:00:25,520
Speaker 2: The US military carried out massive precision strikes on the

3
00:00:25,640 --> 00:00:31,760
Speaker 2: three key nuclear facilities in the Iranian regime for dau

4
00:00:32,520 --> 00:00:36,720
Speaker 2: Ntance and Sfahan. Tonight, I can report to the world

5
00:00:37,280 --> 00:00:41,920
Speaker 2: that the strikes were a spectacular military success.

6
00:00:42,440 --> 00:00:44,800
Speaker 3: Is the United States now at war with Iran?

7
00:00:44,960 --> 00:00:47,400
Speaker 4: No, Christian We're not at war with Iran. We're at

8
00:00:47,400 --> 00:00:50,440
Speaker 4: war with Iran's nuclear program. And what we did is

9
00:00:50,479 --> 00:00:54,280
Speaker 4: we destroyed the Iranian nuclear program. I think we set

10
00:00:54,320 --> 00:00:57,360
Speaker 4: that program back substantially, and we did it without endangering

11
00:00:57,400 --> 00:01:00,360
Speaker 4: the lives of the American pilots. That's an incredible thing,

12
00:01:00,400 --> 00:01:03,880
Speaker 4: and I think we all should be proud, whatever our politics,

13
00:01:04,200 --> 00:01:07,080
Speaker 4: we should be proud of what these guys accomplished, a

14
00:01:07,240 --> 00:01:10,040
Speaker 4: very very high impact mission under a lot of pressure.

15
00:01:10,160 --> 00:01:14,320
Speaker 5: We are confident, yes, that Iran's nuclear sites were completely

16
00:01:14,360 --> 00:01:17,440
Speaker 5: and totally obliterated, as the President said in his address

17
00:01:17,480 --> 00:01:19,320
Speaker 5: to the nation on Saturday night, And we have a

18
00:01:19,360 --> 00:01:22,720
Speaker 5: high degree of confidence that where those strikes took place

19
00:01:22,800 --> 00:01:25,600
Speaker 5: is where Iran's enriched uranium was stored.

20
00:01:25,640 --> 00:01:26,480
Speaker 6: The President wouldn't have.

21
00:01:26,520 --> 00:01:28,920
Speaker 5: Launched the strikes if we weren't confident in that so

22
00:01:29,000 --> 00:01:33,400
Speaker 5: this operation was a resounding success, and administration officials agree.

23
00:01:33,120 --> 00:01:34,479
Speaker 7: With that as well as Israel.

24
00:01:34,560 --> 00:01:38,759
Speaker 8: The President believes the Iranian people can control their own destiny.

25
00:01:38,880 --> 00:01:43,680
Speaker 8: Why shouldn't the Iranian people take away the power of

26
00:01:43,840 --> 00:01:49,840
Speaker 8: this incredibly violence regime. Our posture has not changed, our

27
00:01:49,920 --> 00:01:55,200
Speaker 8: military posture has not changed. These were decisive, precision strikes

28
00:01:55,400 --> 00:01:58,520
Speaker 8: that were successful on Saturday evening. But the President is

29
00:01:58,560 --> 00:02:00,680
Speaker 8: just simply raising a good question, and that many people

30
00:02:00,720 --> 00:02:01,720
Speaker 8: around the world are asking.

31
00:02:01,800 --> 00:02:04,840
Speaker 9: Do you expect Iran to move to close the straight

32
00:02:04,920 --> 00:02:05,360
Speaker 9: up Hoore.

33
00:02:05,280 --> 00:02:09,800
Speaker 8: Moves to try to disrupt oil transportation across the world.

34
00:02:09,919 --> 00:02:12,760
Speaker 9: Well, I encourage the Chinese government invasion to call them

35
00:02:12,800 --> 00:02:14,919
Speaker 9: about that, because they heavily depend on the Straits or

36
00:02:14,919 --> 00:02:17,120
Speaker 9: Horror Moves for their oil. If they do that, it

37
00:02:17,160 --> 00:02:20,000
Speaker 9: will be another terribleness. They gets economic suicide for them

38
00:02:20,040 --> 00:02:22,280
Speaker 9: if they do it, and we retain options to deal

39
00:02:22,320 --> 00:02:23,960
Speaker 9: with that. But other countries should be looking at that

40
00:02:24,000 --> 00:02:26,000
Speaker 9: as well. It would hurt other countries' economies a lot

41
00:02:26,040 --> 00:02:28,840
Speaker 9: worse than ours. It would be I think a massive

42
00:02:28,960 --> 00:02:31,840
Speaker 9: escalation that would have merit a response not just by us,

43
00:02:31,880 --> 00:02:34,520
Speaker 9: but from others. What happens next will depend on what

44
00:02:34,520 --> 00:02:37,320
Speaker 9: they do they want to negotiate, We're ready to negotiate.

45
00:02:36,919 --> 00:02:39,600
Speaker 10: These regime change off the table, mister Secretariat.

46
00:02:39,960 --> 00:02:43,240
Speaker 11: This mission was not and has not been about regime change.

47
00:02:43,320 --> 00:02:48,640
Speaker 11: The President authorized a precision operation to neutralize the threats

48
00:02:48,680 --> 00:02:53,280
Speaker 11: to our national interests posed by the Iranian nuclear program

49
00:02:53,480 --> 00:02:56,840
Speaker 11: and the collective self defense of our troops and our

50
00:02:56,880 --> 00:02:59,200
Speaker 11: ally Israel. One of the things that you saw for

51
00:02:59,280 --> 00:03:02,320
Speaker 11: the presidents and I really am proud of all of

52
00:03:02,360 --> 00:03:04,959
Speaker 11: our guys that the Senior Team is an operation of

53
00:03:05,040 --> 00:03:09,640
Speaker 11: this magnitude multiple B two's fourteen to thirty thousand pound

54
00:03:09,680 --> 00:03:14,600
Speaker 11: bombs and even an hour after the attack, the entire media,

55
00:03:15,560 --> 00:03:17,400
Speaker 11: you know, some of our enemies all over the world,

56
00:03:17,480 --> 00:03:19,800
Speaker 11: they had no idea this was happening.

57
00:03:20,000 --> 00:03:23,840
Speaker 4: And that's because you had a coherent team that was

58
00:03:23,880 --> 00:03:25,680
Speaker 4: aligned behind the President's vision.

59
00:03:25,919 --> 00:03:27,080
Speaker 1: There weren't any leaks.

60
00:03:27,240 --> 00:03:29,560
Speaker 4: I think that made our troops safer as they carried

61
00:03:29,560 --> 00:03:30,320
Speaker 4: out this mission.

62
00:03:30,560 --> 00:03:35,800
Speaker 12: What will be your next step if Iran or militios

63
00:03:36,240 --> 00:03:42,400
Speaker 12: under Iranian inflounced from the region attack US interests or alloys.

64
00:03:42,080 --> 00:03:45,320
Speaker 11: In the region, wherever it may be, whether it's in

65
00:03:45,360 --> 00:03:48,760
Speaker 11: Iraq or Syria or bases in the Gulf as the

66
00:03:48,760 --> 00:03:50,640
Speaker 11: President said it would be or excuse me, as the

67
00:03:50,680 --> 00:03:53,080
Speaker 11: chairman said, it would be a very bad idea for

68
00:03:53,120 --> 00:03:56,960
Speaker 11: Iran or its proxies to attempt to attack American forces.

69
00:03:58,280 --> 00:04:01,880
Speaker 3: They said gen Z would stay silent, that we'd back down,

70
00:04:02,440 --> 00:04:03,560
Speaker 3: that we'd forget what's.

71
00:04:03,400 --> 00:04:04,120
Speaker 7: Worth fighting for.

72
00:04:04,880 --> 00:04:09,680
Speaker 10: But this generation remembers, we remember truth, we remember freedom,

73
00:04:09,800 --> 00:04:11,200
Speaker 10: and now we rise.

74
00:04:12,800 --> 00:04:14,000
Speaker 1: This is more than a conference.

75
00:04:14,440 --> 00:04:17,880

Speaker 13: Here we go on.

91
00:05:25,320 --> 00:05:28,839
Speaker 7: Welcome back. Hello, sorry, not welcome back. It is Monday.

92
00:05:28,880 --> 00:05:30,839
Speaker 7: I was reading something here, A lot going on. We

93
00:05:30,880 --> 00:05:33,720
Speaker 7: are at the Bitcoin dot Com studio a lot. How

94
00:05:33,720 --> 00:05:35,440
Speaker 7: I guess it is welcome back because we were streaming

95
00:05:35,480 --> 00:05:41,200
Speaker 7: this weekend and there was a lot happening. Okay, let's begin.

96
00:05:41,560 --> 00:05:45,280
Speaker 7: So this last weekend, President Donald Trump authorized a military

97
00:05:45,320 --> 00:05:51,880
Speaker 7: operation in Iran. America has officially joined the Iranian Israeli war.

98
00:05:52,880 --> 00:05:58,760
Speaker 7: An amazing military operation with remarkable precision. A thirty seven

99
00:05:58,800 --> 00:06:01,960
Speaker 7: hour round trip flight B two bombers flew from Missouri

100
00:06:02,080 --> 00:06:04,760
Speaker 7: all the way around the world and bombed three separate

101
00:06:04,839 --> 00:06:07,760
Speaker 7: sites in Iran, turned around and came back to the

102
00:06:07,839 --> 00:06:11,680
Speaker 7: United States. President Donald Trump announced it on Saturday evening.

103
00:06:11,720 --> 00:06:15,200
Speaker 7: We of course, were covering that live. Pete Hegseth, Marco

104
00:06:15,279 --> 00:06:18,560
Speaker 7: Rubio and Jade Vance have been hitting the media circuit

105
00:06:18,600 --> 00:06:21,360
Speaker 7: in the last couple of days. Now the question is

106
00:06:21,400 --> 00:06:23,719
Speaker 7: what happens next now live here on this program, we

107
00:06:23,760 --> 00:06:28,240
Speaker 7: are monitoring this Katari airspace is now closed. The largest

108
00:06:29,080 --> 00:06:33,440
Speaker 7: military base, the largest US military base in the Mid

109
00:06:33,440 --> 00:06:37,240
Speaker 7: East is in Qatar. As we've said, they are basically

110
00:06:37,400 --> 00:06:39,880
Speaker 7: sitting ducks right now. There's a lot of preventative measures

111
00:06:39,920 --> 00:06:43,479
Speaker 7: though that have been done and can be done to

112
00:06:43,640 --> 00:06:46,880
Speaker 7: get some of these US service members out of harm's way,

113
00:06:47,680 --> 00:06:51,760
Speaker 7: to get US troops out of a potential ballistic missile

114
00:06:51,760 --> 00:06:54,840
Speaker 7: strike against Iran. A lot of this is now outside

115
00:06:54,880 --> 00:06:58,880
Speaker 7: of our control. President Donald Trump acted decisively and prudently.

116
00:07:00,160 --> 00:07:02,120
Speaker 7: President Donald Trump has said for a long time that

117
00:07:02,200 --> 00:07:04,760
Speaker 7: Iran will not get a nuclear weapon. But now this

118
00:07:04,839 --> 00:07:08,320
Speaker 7: is out of our control. What will Iran do now?

119
00:07:08,360 --> 00:07:11,400
Speaker 7: There is major US air force movement going on right

120
00:07:11,440 --> 00:07:15,840
Speaker 7: now all over the Sentcom region, major breaking news, imminent

121
00:07:15,880 --> 00:07:20,720
Speaker 7: threat of Iranian attack on Al Udad Air Base in Qatar.

122
00:07:20,840 --> 00:07:23,240
Speaker 7: So it looks as if that juicy target in Qatar,

123
00:07:23,560 --> 00:07:28,000
Speaker 7: as we predicted on Saturday night, Iran just can't help itself.

124
00:07:28,880 --> 00:07:31,440
Speaker 7: That is the target they are going for now. Typically

125
00:07:31,480 --> 00:07:34,720
Speaker 7: there would be ten thousand US troops at that Katari

126
00:07:34,760 --> 00:07:38,000
Speaker 7: air base. That has been drawn down to five thousand

127
00:07:38,440 --> 00:07:40,960
Speaker 7: US troops. And so we're going to be here live

128
00:07:41,000 --> 00:07:44,200
Speaker 7: on air for the next couple of hours. As this

129
00:07:44,280 --> 00:07:47,440
Speaker 7: is developing in front of us, what will Iran do?

130
00:07:48,520 --> 00:07:53,239
Speaker 7: It is now getting closer to evening in the Middle East,

131
00:07:53,720 --> 00:07:56,040
Speaker 7: and this is going to unfold right here on this program,

132
00:07:56,080 --> 00:07:59,240
Speaker 7: and the imminent threat of Iranian attack will probably be

133
00:07:59,400 --> 00:08:03,360
Speaker 7: ballistic missiles. Now, remember when President Trump took out Cassamsalamani.

134
00:08:04,000 --> 00:08:09,720
Speaker 7: Iran responded with force. They even hit the tents of

135
00:08:09,840 --> 00:08:12,280
Speaker 7: service members where they were supposed to be. But thankfully,

136
00:08:12,600 --> 00:08:17,520
Speaker 7: we took exhaustive precautionary measures, and we got the planes

137
00:08:17,560 --> 00:08:20,680
Speaker 7: in the sky, we got the troops in the cars,

138
00:08:20,800 --> 00:08:24,480
Speaker 7: and thankfully, nobody died, by the grace of God. There's

139
00:08:24,480 --> 00:08:29,800
Speaker 7: some folks in some amazing American troops got concussions that

140
00:08:29,880 --> 00:08:33,720
Speaker 7: were in bunkers, but nobody died. So likely it looks

141
00:08:33,720 --> 00:08:36,080
Speaker 7: as if there is an imminent threat of ballistic missile

142
00:08:36,120 --> 00:08:39,760
Speaker 7: launches happening in Iran and they will go to Qatar.

143
00:08:39,880 --> 00:08:42,160
Speaker 7: Let's get a map of the Middle East. This is

144
00:08:42,160 --> 00:08:45,239
Speaker 7: a much shorter missile trajectory, by the way, than Israel,

145
00:08:45,640 --> 00:08:48,320
Speaker 7: So Israel has about a eight to ten minute heads

146
00:08:48,400 --> 00:08:50,760
Speaker 7: up before a ballistic missile goes all the way up

147
00:08:51,559 --> 00:08:54,120
Speaker 7: and then goes to Israel. Well, this is a much

148
00:08:54,400 --> 00:08:59,800
Speaker 7: much shorter missile projectile to Qatar. It's only five to

149
00:09:00,000 --> 00:09:05,000
Speaker 7: one hundred miles probably from the interior of Iran to Qatar.

150
00:09:06,160 --> 00:09:10,000
Speaker 7: So what does this mean for the United States? Well,

151
00:09:10,040 --> 00:09:14,920
Speaker 7: President Trump made the decision to bomb Iran. If Iran

152
00:09:15,040 --> 00:09:18,600
Speaker 7: kills ten, twenty thirty forty US service members, what should

153
00:09:18,600 --> 00:09:23,079
Speaker 7: our response be. Should we escalate this even further? Should

154
00:09:23,080 --> 00:09:25,360
Speaker 7: we then go after Iranian oil field? Should we take

155
00:09:25,360 --> 00:09:28,560
Speaker 7: out Iranian electricity? Or should we just say okay, we're done.

156
00:09:29,920 --> 00:09:30,160
Speaker 6: Now.

157
00:09:30,240 --> 00:09:35,480
Speaker 7: Iran said that their response is going to be proportional. Well,

158
00:09:35,559 --> 00:09:39,000
Speaker 7: from the best of our knowledge, no Iranians died in

159
00:09:39,040 --> 00:09:45,320
Speaker 7: the Iranian missile strike this last weekend, the bombing that

160
00:09:45,360 --> 00:09:49,280
Speaker 7: we did against Iran. Here's two fifty seven up on screen.

161
00:09:49,679 --> 00:09:55,280
Speaker 7: You'll see all the US bases across the region. It's

162
00:09:55,320 --> 00:09:57,440
Speaker 7: a lot of targets for Iran to hit. That is

163
00:09:57,480 --> 00:10:03,320
Speaker 7: a lot of targets. So if Iran goes and kills

164
00:10:03,679 --> 00:10:07,800
Speaker 7: twenty US service members, God forbid, how do we respond?

165
00:10:08,200 --> 00:10:11,480
Speaker 7: President Donald Trump has already issued massive threats saying that

166
00:10:11,520 --> 00:10:13,600
Speaker 7: you are not going to like what happens next. And

167
00:10:13,640 --> 00:10:17,640
Speaker 7: then do we find ourselves further stepping up the escalatory ladder.

168
00:10:18,559 --> 00:10:22,920
Speaker 7: This is brinkmanship at the highest imaginable and conceivable level.

169
00:10:23,080 --> 00:10:26,080
Speaker 7: And then there's another conversation that we had, which is

170
00:10:26,480 --> 00:10:29,400
Speaker 7: did we actually take out the Iranian nuclear program? That

171
00:10:29,559 --> 00:10:33,920
Speaker 7: is yet to be seen. Now, again there's a difference

172
00:10:33,920 --> 00:10:38,839
Speaker 7: between capabilities and program. Capabilities and program. The hope here

173
00:10:38,840 --> 00:10:40,320
Speaker 7: of what Iran is doing again in the side of

174
00:10:40,320 --> 00:10:43,640
Speaker 7: our control, we are hoping for the rationality of Iran.

175
00:10:45,040 --> 00:10:48,080
Speaker 7: So much of this right now is us hoping that

176
00:10:48,120 --> 00:10:50,600
Speaker 7: Iran acts rationally, which again is a little bit of

177
00:10:50,600 --> 00:10:53,640
Speaker 7: a contradiction because we're told that they can't get a

178
00:10:53,679 --> 00:10:57,600
Speaker 7: nuclear weapon because they're irrational. Anyway, that's a whole separate

179
00:10:57,679 --> 00:11:00,040
Speaker 7: topic for a different time, but anyway, right now, so

180
00:11:00,120 --> 00:11:04,040
Speaker 7: we are praying for the rationality of Iran. We're praying

181
00:11:04,080 --> 00:11:06,800
Speaker 7: that they don't wipe out a thousand US troops, they

182
00:11:06,840 --> 00:11:11,719
Speaker 7: don't wipe out two thousand US troops. After Solamani, they

183
00:11:11,760 --> 00:11:14,920
Speaker 7: did basically a showing face missile launch, but not really

184
00:11:15,600 --> 00:11:18,560
Speaker 7: they hit US bases directly. They just kind of gave

185
00:11:18,640 --> 00:11:20,920
Speaker 7: us enough heads up that we were able to evacuate

186
00:11:20,960 --> 00:11:23,040
Speaker 7: those US bases so they can go back to the

187
00:11:23,040 --> 00:11:26,000
Speaker 7: Iranian people and say say, look, we're strong. We hit

188
00:11:26,040 --> 00:11:30,440
Speaker 7: the bases, and we can kind of wipe our hands

189
00:11:30,480 --> 00:11:32,120
Speaker 7: of it. We can kind of get an off ramp.

190
00:11:33,040 --> 00:11:37,720
Speaker 7: It seems very clear that Israel and America kind of

191
00:11:37,800 --> 00:11:41,400
Speaker 7: wants this to come to an end. Does Iran, Does

192
00:11:41,440 --> 00:11:44,600
Speaker 7: Iran right now have the stomach to keep this going?

193
00:11:44,720 --> 00:11:47,679
Speaker 7: We don't know. There are reports on the ground that

194
00:11:48,000 --> 00:11:51,840
Speaker 7: Iranian sentiment is increasing in certain factions and certain portions,

195
00:11:51,920 --> 00:11:55,439
Speaker 7: especially the rural areas in Iran around the Supreme Leader,

196
00:11:56,080 --> 00:11:57,840
Speaker 7: but in the cities where a lot of the younger

197
00:11:57,880 --> 00:12:01,280
Speaker 7: Persians live, they are becoming more more Western. So this

198
00:12:01,320 --> 00:12:06,000
Speaker 7: is happening all in real time. Meanwhile, there is an

199
00:12:06,080 --> 00:12:12,400
Speaker 7: ever growing heated let's say, debate and environment happening online.

200
00:12:13,080 --> 00:12:14,880
Speaker 7: And we're gonna dive deep into the politics of this,

201
00:12:14,920 --> 00:12:17,640
Speaker 7: and I'm gonna kind of show you your opinion of

202
00:12:17,679 --> 00:12:22,040
Speaker 7: what is happening with Iran is almost it's almost a

203
00:12:22,160 --> 00:12:25,640
Speaker 7: one to one correlation based on your age and based

204
00:12:25,679 --> 00:12:29,520
Speaker 7: on your media consumption habits, and I want to dive

205
00:12:29,559 --> 00:12:31,120
Speaker 7: into that in great detail, but I just had to

206
00:12:31,120 --> 00:12:33,439
Speaker 7: get to this breaking news that any moment right now,

207
00:12:34,840 --> 00:12:38,840
Speaker 7: there is likely going to be than an Iranian attack

208
00:12:38,880 --> 00:12:43,160
Speaker 7: against a US base. Certain sources are saying that an

209
00:12:43,160 --> 00:12:47,280
Speaker 7: Iranian attack could have already begun against US basis, So

210
00:12:47,320 --> 00:12:49,920
Speaker 7: we're gonna keep our eyes on that. In real time,

211
00:12:49,960 --> 00:12:53,280
Speaker 7: we're monitoring it. There is a massive US Air Force

212
00:12:53,360 --> 00:12:55,760
Speaker 7: movement happening right all over the region to try to

213
00:12:55,800 --> 00:12:58,400
Speaker 7: intercept some of these missiles we have Patriot missiles, and

214
00:12:58,480 --> 00:13:02,920
Speaker 7: also to evacuate the base. Every minute here matters, Every

215
00:13:03,040 --> 00:13:06,240
Speaker 7: minute matters to get these US service members out of

216
00:13:06,240 --> 00:13:08,160
Speaker 7: the base so that they do not die. And that

217
00:13:08,200 --> 00:13:11,480
Speaker 7: would be awful, and that would be catastrophic. But this

218
00:13:11,520 --> 00:13:17,400
Speaker 7: fluid situation could then escalate into US then responding against Iran,

219
00:13:17,440 --> 00:13:20,120
Speaker 7: and they would respond further against US, and before you

220
00:13:20,160 --> 00:13:22,679
Speaker 7: know it, we are now in a shooting war, a

221
00:13:22,800 --> 00:13:27,160
Speaker 7: kinetic chapter of the US VERSA run, which I don't

222
00:13:27,200 --> 00:13:29,800
Speaker 7: think anybody in this audience wants. Maybe a couple people

223
00:13:29,800 --> 00:13:32,160
Speaker 7: want it, but I can't imagine anybody in this audience

224
00:13:32,240 --> 00:13:37,560
Speaker 7: right now wants a further escalation of this situation. And

225
00:13:37,640 --> 00:13:42,640
Speaker 7: President Donald Trump has been remarkably clear if you touch

226
00:13:42,679 --> 00:13:46,000
Speaker 7: a single US service member, there will be a response

227
00:13:46,080 --> 00:13:49,000
Speaker 7: the likes of which you have never seen President Donald

228
00:13:49,040 --> 00:13:52,080
Speaker 7: Trump acted decisively this last weekend. And now I'm going

229
00:13:52,120 --> 00:13:53,840
Speaker 7: to show you some of the fallout that you might

230
00:13:53,920 --> 00:13:57,440
Speaker 7: be missing, because if you are simply and only watching

231
00:13:57,480 --> 00:13:59,959
Speaker 7: cable news, you might think that the whole movement is,

232
00:14:00,000 --> 00:14:02,600
Speaker 7: as you, unified behind this. That is not the case,

233
00:14:03,440 --> 00:14:07,440
Speaker 7: especially for the MAGA faithful under the age of thirty,

234
00:14:07,679 --> 00:14:12,119
Speaker 7: and especially for the MAGA faithful that are hyper online.

235
00:14:12,840 --> 00:14:15,439
Speaker 7: There is a lot of heated opinions being thrown out

236
00:14:15,480 --> 00:14:17,400
Speaker 7: right now, and I'm going to dive into all of that.

237
00:14:20,040 --> 00:14:21,640
Speaker 7: And by the way, here's some other breaking It just

238
00:14:21,720 --> 00:14:24,520
Speaker 7: kind of continued breaking news. A coordinated attack from Iran,

239
00:14:24,960 --> 00:14:27,640
Speaker 7: the Iranian faction in Rock and Hutis and Yemen is

240
00:14:27,680 --> 00:14:29,280
Speaker 7: expected to take place. So it looks like this is

241
00:14:29,280 --> 00:14:32,120
Speaker 7: their big counter It's gonna happen live here on The

242
00:14:32,200 --> 00:14:35,680

Speaker 7: Okay, everybody, welcome back. Email us as always, Freedom at

Speaker 7: Charliekirk dot com and subscribe to our podcast. I'm gonna

249
00:14:59,280 --> 00:15:00,880
Speaker 7: get into the politic of all this, and we'm going

250
00:15:00,960 --> 00:15:03,160
Speaker 7: to kind of restart where I wanted to start. But

251
00:15:03,200 --> 00:15:07,040
Speaker 7: all that breaking news kind of derailed us. Understandably. Reports

252
00:15:07,040 --> 00:15:09,840
Speaker 7: are saying that within hours we could see in Irani

253
00:15:09,880 --> 00:15:12,680
Speaker 7: attack on a US base, which leads you to believe

254
00:15:13,640 --> 00:15:19,000
Speaker 7: that this is probably no small attack. But there's a

255
00:15:19,000 --> 00:15:22,120
Speaker 7: little bit of a wind up here. Presidentnald Trump is

256
00:15:22,120 --> 00:15:25,200
Speaker 7: holding a national security meeting in the situation room in

257
00:15:25,280 --> 00:15:30,280
Speaker 7: the next thirty minutes, and multiple bases are going to

258
00:15:30,320 --> 00:15:33,560
Speaker 7: be attacked, is what it looks like. Sources that's unconfirmed. Unconfirmed.

259
00:15:33,640 --> 00:15:35,160
Speaker 7: By the way, We're going to be covering this all

260
00:15:35,200 --> 00:15:38,200
Speaker 7: live here on this program, more quicker than anybody else

261
00:15:38,200 --> 00:15:40,360
Speaker 7: because we got live top tier sources. You have to

262
00:15:40,440 --> 00:15:42,840
Speaker 7: understand here on this program we have the best sources

263
00:15:42,880 --> 00:15:44,800
Speaker 7: that you can have. I mean, maybe some other cable

264
00:15:44,840 --> 00:15:47,400
Speaker 7: news programs, but the sources here we have in this

265
00:15:47,440 --> 00:15:52,080
Speaker 7: show are top tier, original source. And it looks as

266
00:15:52,080 --> 00:15:55,000
Speaker 7: if multiple bases are going to be attacked. That's unconfirmed,

267
00:15:55,560 --> 00:15:58,760
Speaker 7: but it looks there is mass mobilization happening across the region.

268
00:15:59,000 --> 00:16:03,320
Speaker 7: We hope that Iran acts rationally. We hope that Iran

269
00:16:03,920 --> 00:16:05,720
Speaker 7: does not want to escalate this further. That would be

270
00:16:05,800 --> 00:16:07,440
Speaker 7: bad for them, It'd be bad for us, it'd be

271
00:16:07,480 --> 00:16:09,920
Speaker 7: bad for the region, be bad for our agenda. We

272
00:16:10,280 --> 00:16:13,440
Speaker 7: bomb the facilities in Ford, oh and Istefon and the

273
00:16:13,520 --> 00:16:18,960
Speaker 7: knots ntons or whatever. And there are sites of low

274
00:16:18,960 --> 00:16:24,640
Speaker 7: flying jets reported flying over Baghdad, Iraq. Okay, why refi

293
00:17:29,359 --> 00:17:33,480
Speaker 7: Email us is always freedom at Charliekirk dot com. As

294
00:17:33,520 --> 00:17:35,960
Speaker 7: I said on Saturday. By the way, we're at the

295
00:17:35,960 --> 00:17:38,080
Speaker 7: Bitcoin dot com studios, I said on Saturday, as this

296
00:17:38,200 --> 00:17:40,800
Speaker 7: news broke, I have the President's back here. The president

297
00:17:40,880 --> 00:17:43,760
Speaker 7: is a friend. He acted with judgment and decisiveness and prudence.

298
00:17:44,200 --> 00:17:45,879
Speaker 7: But it's important that I just kind of tell you,

299
00:17:45,960 --> 00:17:49,119
Speaker 7: tell it like it is, that not everybody is in

300
00:17:49,240 --> 00:17:52,080
Speaker 7: support of this, and definitely over the weekend there was

301
00:17:52,119 --> 00:18:00,400
Speaker 7: a sizeable bubbling up of chatter disagreement, a special with

302
00:18:00,440 --> 00:18:04,840
Speaker 7: the under thirty hyper online crowd. If you support these

303
00:18:04,880 --> 00:18:06,320
Speaker 7: strikes in Iran, which by the way, I want to

304
00:18:06,320 --> 00:18:08,359
Speaker 7: hear from you freedom at Charliekirk dot com. Do you

305
00:18:08,400 --> 00:18:11,040
Speaker 7: support it or not support it? If you support these

306
00:18:11,040 --> 00:18:16,920
Speaker 7: strikes in Iran, you are likely getting your news habits

307
00:18:17,480 --> 00:18:21,320
Speaker 7: and your media consumption. If you support them from either

308
00:18:21,359 --> 00:18:25,680
Speaker 7: cable television or traditional media. If you are against these strikes,

309
00:18:26,040 --> 00:18:29,000
Speaker 7: you tend to listen to more podcasting, you tend to

310
00:18:29,040 --> 00:18:32,040
Speaker 7: get more information online. So let me kind of show

311
00:18:32,080 --> 00:18:36,320
Speaker 7: you the contrast of response. I think it's very important. First,

312
00:18:36,400 --> 00:18:41,600
Speaker 7: here is someone who has been very vocally in support

313
00:18:41,960 --> 00:18:44,959
Speaker 7: of striking Iran. He's a friend of mine. I refuse

314
00:18:45,000 --> 00:18:47,480
Speaker 7: to get into all this back and forth of name calling.

315
00:18:47,520 --> 00:18:48,879
Speaker 7: I don't like that, by way way. That's I think

316
00:18:48,920 --> 00:18:50,240
Speaker 7: one of the reasons why our show is doing so

317
00:18:50,280 --> 00:18:52,400
Speaker 7: well right now is I'm not getting into oh, you're

318
00:18:52,480 --> 00:18:55,960
Speaker 7: this name or your that name. I simultaneously can call

319
00:18:56,560 --> 00:18:59,320
Speaker 7: Tucker Carlson and Mark Levin a friend, and I'm proud

320
00:18:59,359 --> 00:19:02,439
Speaker 7: of that. And I don't like seeing all these different

321
00:19:02,440 --> 00:19:05,520
Speaker 7: friendships fall apart just because we have heated disagreements. I

322
00:19:05,520 --> 00:19:10,680
Speaker 7: don't like that. What cut is this, Shane, I can't

323
00:19:10,680 --> 00:19:18,320
Speaker 7: see it. The Mark Levin one? This cut sheet doesn't

324
00:19:18,359 --> 00:19:25,600
Speaker 7: make any sense. Which one is it? Guys? Okay, all right,

325
00:19:25,640 --> 00:19:29,400
Speaker 7: we'll get to that in a little bit. So three

326
00:19:29,400 --> 00:19:30,240
Speaker 7: point thirty three.

327
00:19:32,760 --> 00:19:35,400
Speaker 1: Look what Trump just did. Look what he did.

328
00:19:35,880 --> 00:19:39,000
Speaker 14: Guess what There wasn't a regional war They're not going

329
00:19:39,040 --> 00:19:41,080
Speaker 14: to be a regional war. There's not World War three.

330
00:19:41,119 --> 00:19:43,560
Speaker 14: There was not going to be World War three. The

331
00:19:43,640 --> 00:19:46,040
Speaker 14: Israeli didn't drag us into it. I want the anti

332
00:19:46,080 --> 00:19:49,480
Speaker 14: Semites sit down and shut up. The Israeli didn't drag

333
00:19:49,600 --> 00:19:53,840
Speaker 14: us into this. The Israelis are defending themselves. We're defending ourselves.

334
00:19:54,480 --> 00:19:57,439
Speaker 14: That's what took place. Now, what's the reaction of the

335
00:19:57,480 --> 00:20:01,919
Speaker 14: Democrats and Peach Trump? These are sick people, sick, you

336
00:20:01,960 --> 00:20:05,280
Speaker 14: know why, because their guy Clinton couldn't do it. Obama

337
00:20:05,320 --> 00:20:07,560
Speaker 14: couldn't do it, Biden couldn't do anything.

338
00:20:08,040 --> 00:20:09,920
Speaker 6: They if they had their way.

339
00:20:12,000 --> 00:20:14,480
Speaker 7: And let's continue three thirty four. I want you to understand,

340
00:20:14,480 --> 00:20:17,800
Speaker 7: when you watch these clips, you're getting a certain presentation,

341
00:20:17,880 --> 00:20:22,480
Speaker 7: and that's fine of what is happening. And so if

342
00:20:22,520 --> 00:20:26,760
Speaker 7: you support the strikes in iran perfectly rational and respectable position,

343
00:20:27,520 --> 00:20:29,920
Speaker 7: this is the narrative that you are largely consuming. Let's

344
00:20:29,920 --> 00:20:30,960
Speaker 7: go to cut three thirty four.

345
00:20:31,600 --> 00:20:32,080
Speaker 15: America.

346
00:20:32,119 --> 00:20:33,159
Speaker 1: Don't you feel relief.

347
00:20:33,960 --> 00:20:36,800
Speaker 14: Of course, you feel relief because this is These are

348
00:20:36,800 --> 00:20:40,200
Speaker 14: Islamo Nazis. We're building nuclear weapons to attack us too,

349
00:20:40,440 --> 00:20:43,560
Speaker 14: with intercontinental ballistic missiles. Guess what you can go to

350
00:20:43,600 --> 00:20:45,200
Speaker 14: bed peacefully tonight.

351
00:20:45,320 --> 00:20:46,679
Speaker 1: No, that's not gonna happen.

352
00:20:47,480 --> 00:20:50,679
Speaker 14: That's not gonna happen, not because of Obama, not because

353
00:20:50,720 --> 00:20:53,480
Speaker 14: of Biden, not because of the Democrats, not because of

354
00:20:53,480 --> 00:20:55,959
Speaker 14: the sun Republicans, because of Donald Trump.

355
00:20:57,080 --> 00:21:01,680
Speaker 7: Okay, so if you port these strikes, you're likely over

356
00:21:01,720 --> 00:21:06,439
Speaker 7: the age of fifty and you watch cable television or

357
00:21:06,440 --> 00:21:08,680
Speaker 7: traditional media. But I think it's important that I read

358
00:21:08,720 --> 00:21:10,919
Speaker 7: some of these tweets of some of the top MAGA

359
00:21:11,000 --> 00:21:14,639
Speaker 7: voices that have spoken out this weekend, people that are very,

360
00:21:14,720 --> 00:21:17,680
Speaker 7: very pro Trump. Here is the Hodge Twins, for example,

361
00:21:17,920 --> 00:21:21,960
Speaker 7: Please stop with the gas lighting. Bombing another country's nuclear

362
00:21:22,000 --> 00:21:24,800
Speaker 7: facilities and then openly calling for regime change is not

363
00:21:24,920 --> 00:21:28,400
Speaker 7: a peaceful message. It's an act of war, plain and simple. Top.

364
00:21:29,000 --> 00:21:31,480
Speaker 7: By the way, well over ten million followers, very very

365
00:21:31,480 --> 00:21:36,600
Speaker 7: pro Trump. Alex Jones. We all know Alex Alex can

366
00:21:36,640 --> 00:21:40,160
Speaker 7: be quite entertaining. I'm sad to see that Trump drank

367
00:21:40,200 --> 00:21:42,880
Speaker 7: the neo kon kool aid and attacked Iron. That said,

368
00:21:42,920 --> 00:21:44,760
Speaker 7: most people see through the gas lighting and the age

369
00:21:44,760 --> 00:21:47,640
Speaker 7: of globalist warmongers is coming to its end. This insane

370
00:21:47,680 --> 00:21:50,440
Speaker 7: war quote must and now regardless, Trump is doing a

371
00:21:50,440 --> 00:21:53,000
Speaker 7: great job on domestic issue sash trade, as well as

372
00:21:53,040 --> 00:21:55,399
Speaker 7: boosting most America verse policies. So I'll not throw the

373
00:21:55,440 --> 00:22:00,280
Speaker 7: baby out with the bathwater. The Patriot voice to read

374
00:22:00,320 --> 00:22:05,199
Speaker 7: this entire thing, but very very pro Trump says, I

375
00:22:05,240 --> 00:22:08,639
Speaker 7: hardly recognize Maga anymore. I did not associate with magas

376
00:22:08,640 --> 00:22:11,080
Speaker 7: starting all the way back in twenty fifteen, me part

377
00:22:11,080 --> 00:22:15,640
Speaker 7: of this type of psychicotic cult like behavior. Very long,

378
00:22:15,720 --> 00:22:18,960
Speaker 7: saying that he's very upset with President Trump. This one

379
00:22:19,040 --> 00:22:22,440
Speaker 7: Shan Sean Strickland. What happened to America? First, cost of living,

380
00:22:22,680 --> 00:22:26,359
Speaker 7: staggering wages, inflation? How does spending hundreds of millions to

381
00:22:26,400 --> 00:22:30,200
Speaker 7: bomb a desert help the average America? Regime change? Question

382
00:22:30,240 --> 00:22:33,800
Speaker 7: mark UFC fighter. He was at our Las Vegas rally again.

383
00:22:33,840 --> 00:22:35,439
Speaker 7: He's kind of one of the cool kids that has

384
00:22:35,480 --> 00:22:38,040
Speaker 7: come alongside that is now totally against. And by the way,

385
00:22:38,080 --> 00:22:39,560
Speaker 7: before I read more and I'll do this more after

386
00:22:39,600 --> 00:22:43,000
Speaker 7: the break, a lot of the podcast bros, a lot

387
00:22:43,000 --> 00:22:46,240
Speaker 7: of the hyper digital online the young energy that has

388
00:22:46,240 --> 00:22:48,560
Speaker 7: been a catalyst to the movement. And just remember Donald

389
00:22:48,600 --> 00:22:51,040
Speaker 7: Trump won the youth vote. He won the White House

390
00:22:51,080 --> 00:22:53,720
Speaker 7: because of the youth vote. Boomers went three points to

391
00:22:53,760 --> 00:22:56,520
Speaker 7: the left. Young people move fifteen points to the right.

392
00:22:56,640 --> 00:22:58,680
Speaker 7: It's not because of boomers that Donald Trump won the

393
00:22:58,680 --> 00:23:03,360
Speaker 7: White House. It's because of young people and students and

394
00:23:03,480 --> 00:23:05,959
Speaker 7: a lot of those online and I'll read more are

395
00:23:06,200 --> 00:23:08,600
Speaker 7: vehemently against what has happened in the Middle East. Don't

396
00:23:08,600 --> 00:23:10,840
Speaker 7: shoot the messenger. I'll be right back.

397
00:23:23,760 --> 00:23:26,440
Speaker 16: Welcome back to this Real America's Voice news break. I'm

398
00:23:26,560 --> 00:23:30,320
Speaker 16: Terrence Bates. We're working new information about the recent attack

399
00:23:30,440 --> 00:23:33,800
Speaker 16: on Iran. The US Embassy and Cutter is telling Americans

400
00:23:33,880 --> 00:23:36,879
Speaker 16: in that country to shelter in place until further notice.

401
00:23:36,960 --> 00:23:40,920
Speaker 16: This Cutter itself has closed its airspace over the country.

402
00:23:40,960 --> 00:23:44,240
Speaker 16: All of this with concern that Iran might be launching

403
00:23:44,280 --> 00:23:47,480
Speaker 16: some sort of attack on US facilities there in Cutter

404
00:23:47,880 --> 00:23:50,880
Speaker 16: or in that general region. In the meantime, President Trump

405
00:23:51,000 --> 00:23:53,800
Speaker 16: scheduled to meet with his national security team within the

406
00:23:53,840 --> 00:23:57,280
Speaker 16: next thirty minutes or so. Following Saturday's massive attack on

407
00:23:57,359 --> 00:24:00,679
Speaker 16: Iran's main nuclear facility and two other nuclear facilities in

408
00:24:00,680 --> 00:24:03,719
Speaker 16: that country, the White House posted a video of b

409
00:24:03,800 --> 00:24:07,400
Speaker 16: two bombers that dropped the so called bunker busting bombs

410
00:24:07,480 --> 00:24:09,479
Speaker 16: on the foid Oh plant this morning.

411
00:24:09,560 --> 00:24:10,480
Speaker 7: As you can see.

412
00:24:10,640 --> 00:24:13,000
Speaker 16: The planes are now safely back here in the United

413
00:24:13,000 --> 00:24:16,600
Speaker 16: States after touching down at Whiteman Air Force Base in Missouri,

414
00:24:16,680 --> 00:24:20,560
Speaker 16: following a thirty six hour mission halfway across the country. However,

415
00:24:20,640 --> 00:24:23,560
Speaker 16: protesters in New York took to the streets on Sunday

416
00:24:23,800 --> 00:24:27,800
Speaker 16: to demonstrate against the attack and war. Similar marches were

417
00:24:27,800 --> 00:24:33,480
Speaker 16: staged in Los Angeles, Austin, Boston, and Chicago. Despite the opposition,

418
00:24:33,840 --> 00:24:37,399
Speaker 16: Secretary of Defense Pete Heggsath explaining on Sunday what this

419
00:24:37,520 --> 00:24:39,199
Speaker 16: weekend's attacks were all about.

420
00:24:39,760 --> 00:24:43,160
Speaker 11: This mission was not and has not written about regime change.

421
00:24:44,160 --> 00:24:49,480
Speaker 11: The President authorized a precision operation to neutralize the threats

422
00:24:49,520 --> 00:24:53,960
Speaker 11: to our national interests posed by the Iranian nuclear program

423
00:24:54,320 --> 00:24:57,679
Speaker 11: and the collective self defense of our troops and our

424
00:24:57,760 --> 00:24:58,520
Speaker 11: ally Israel.

425
00:24:59,359 --> 00:25:02,760
Speaker 16: As for the effectiveness of those bombings, President Trump says

426
00:25:02,800 --> 00:25:08,080
Speaker 16: Iran's nuclear sites sustained quote monumental damage. Defense officials are

427
00:25:08,119 --> 00:25:11,640
Speaker 16: still working there to determine the full extent of that damage.

428
00:25:12,400 --> 00:25:15,840
Speaker 16: Congressional pushback against the President's actions and Iran will likely

429
00:25:15,920 --> 00:25:19,159
Speaker 16: kicking the high gear this week. Republican Thomas Massey of

430
00:25:19,280 --> 00:25:22,280
Speaker 16: Kentucky is being called a rhino yet again. This morning

431
00:25:22,520 --> 00:25:25,800
Speaker 16: due to his criticism of Saturday's attack and his resolution,

432
00:25:25,880 --> 00:25:29,520
Speaker 16: which seeks to limit President Trump's war powers. Massey argues

433
00:25:29,600 --> 00:25:32,359
Speaker 16: that Congress should have made the call to attack, not

434
00:25:32,520 --> 00:25:36,320
Speaker 16: the president. Democrat Virginia Senator Tim Kaine also on record

435
00:25:36,320 --> 00:25:38,760
Speaker 16: this morning, saying he expects to force the Senate this

436
00:25:38,840 --> 00:25:40,840
Speaker 16: week to vote on a bill that will require the

437
00:25:40,840 --> 00:25:43,919
Speaker 16: Commander in chief to terminate hostilities against Iran.

438
00:25:55,640 --> 00:25:59,080
Speaker 13: This movement will not be silenced. You're listening to the

439
00:25:59,200 --> 00:26:01,399
Speaker 13: Charlie kirksh.

440
00:26:00,520 --> 00:26:02,960
Speaker 7: Okay, everybody, welcome back. Email us as always, fredam at

441
00:26:03,000 --> 00:26:05,479
Speaker 7: Charliekirk dot com. Here at the Bitcoin dot Com studio

442
00:26:05,520 --> 00:26:09,120
Speaker 7: Bitcoin dot com Studio. Joining us now is Mark Halprin,

443
00:26:09,200 --> 00:26:12,000
Speaker 7: editor in chief of two Way, host of Next Up

444
00:26:12,040 --> 00:26:15,760
Speaker 7: on the Meghan Kelly Network. Mark, great to see you.

445
00:26:15,880 --> 00:26:19,000
Speaker 7: I hope you had a RESTful and peaceful Saturday night.

446
00:26:19,720 --> 00:26:21,200
Speaker 7: Nothing really happened this weekend.

447
00:26:22,440 --> 00:26:24,359
Speaker 17: Yeah, we did a special report on two Way, had

448
00:26:24,359 --> 00:26:27,320
Speaker 17: a big audience, and I think it's you know, we're

449
00:26:27,720 --> 00:26:30,600
Speaker 17: to hear a lot of negative stuff about America, American

450
00:26:30,640 --> 00:26:32,960
Speaker 17: people media. I think people are really engaged in this

451
00:26:33,000 --> 00:26:35,120
Speaker 17: in a substantive way. I know you hear it when

452
00:26:35,160 --> 00:26:39,359
Speaker 17: you talk to people. I know I regularly flatter you,

453
00:26:39,400 --> 00:26:41,760
Speaker 17: but it's all heartfelt. I think you've been so thoughtful

454
00:26:41,800 --> 00:26:45,160
Speaker 17: about this, and as an analyst, but also as someone

455
00:26:45,200 --> 00:26:49,960
Speaker 17: who's a player involved here, because this can be treated superficially,

456
00:26:50,000 --> 00:26:51,760
Speaker 17: it can be treated as a red blue divide.

457
00:26:51,760 --> 00:26:58,560
Speaker 7: But Mark was saying all this wonderful stuff, and we

458
00:26:58,600 --> 00:27:05,800
Speaker 7: lost him. Okay, we'll try to get reconnected. Hang tight

459
00:27:05,840 --> 00:27:08,200
Speaker 7: there as we get Mark Halprin there. That was very

460
00:27:08,200 --> 00:27:10,119
Speaker 7: sweet what Mark was saying, because yes, we have been

461
00:27:10,240 --> 00:27:13,359
Speaker 7: very thoughtful, and we have been very analytical, and we

462
00:27:13,440 --> 00:27:17,120
Speaker 7: have been very fair in how we have been handling

463
00:27:17,480 --> 00:27:19,520
Speaker 7: this situation. Sorry, Mark, we lost you for a second.

464
00:27:19,760 --> 00:27:22,000
Speaker 17: Please continue, Okay, Sorry a bet that I don't know

465
00:27:22,040 --> 00:27:25,280
Speaker 17: what happened. I just this cuts across the red blue divide,

466
00:27:25,800 --> 00:27:28,760
Speaker 17: and these are serious issues and people should not be

467
00:27:28,880 --> 00:27:31,119
Speaker 17: treating it like politics. They should be treating it like

468
00:27:31,400 --> 00:27:33,600
Speaker 17: what's America's role going to be in the world? And

469
00:27:33,720 --> 00:27:35,520
Speaker 17: what do we think of what President Trump has done?

470
00:27:35,560 --> 00:27:38,000
Speaker 17: And again, I think you've been extremely thoughtful as an

471
00:27:38,000 --> 00:27:42,040
Speaker 17: analyst and as a participant in saying there's a way

472
00:27:42,040 --> 00:27:43,760
Speaker 17: to do this, it's in America's interest and there are

473
00:27:43,760 --> 00:27:47,000
Speaker 17: ways that that history suggests aren't. And I think I

474
00:27:47,040 --> 00:27:50,240
Speaker 17: applaud you and everyone else, including my colleagues on two Way,

475
00:27:50,400 --> 00:27:52,399
Speaker 17: who are treating this like a serious thing rather than

476
00:27:52,440 --> 00:27:54,080
Speaker 17: a political thing or a fervo listening.

477
00:27:54,800 --> 00:27:57,200
Speaker 7: Well, well, thank you, Mark. That means a lot. And

478
00:27:58,200 --> 00:27:59,920
Speaker 7: we've been attacked by both sides. We've been called the

479
00:28:00,119 --> 00:28:02,960
Speaker 7: warmonger and we've been called an isolationist. And then I

480
00:28:03,000 --> 00:28:05,159
Speaker 7: look around and I say, well, you know what, the

481
00:28:05,160 --> 00:28:07,000
Speaker 7: show's doing better than ever. So it turns out the

482
00:28:07,000 --> 00:28:11,879
Speaker 7: American people actually want a straight, fact first, non ideological

483
00:28:11,920 --> 00:28:14,399
Speaker 7: take on this. So Mark, let me ask some of

484
00:28:14,440 --> 00:28:16,800
Speaker 7: the harder questions. First of all, we are our eyes

485
00:28:16,840 --> 00:28:19,000
Speaker 7: right now, we're modern the situation. Any moment right now,

486
00:28:19,000 --> 00:28:22,119
Speaker 7: Iran could strike and hit a US base, So I

487
00:28:22,119 --> 00:28:24,199
Speaker 7: don't want to get too much into that because that's speculative.

488
00:28:24,600 --> 00:28:29,000
Speaker 7: But based on your reporting, Mark, was this strike in

489
00:28:29,080 --> 00:28:34,080
Speaker 7: Iran successful? Did it take out Iran's nuclear capability? There's

490
00:28:34,119 --> 00:28:36,000
Speaker 7: a lot of debate about that. The New York Times

491
00:28:36,119 --> 00:28:40,080
Speaker 7: is trying to cast a little bit of doubt regarding that.

492
00:28:40,120 --> 00:28:44,560
Speaker 7: What is your reporting showing regarding the success of this strike?

493
00:28:45,600 --> 00:28:48,280
Speaker 17: Well, it was at least somewhat successful on two levels.

494
00:28:48,360 --> 00:28:51,640
Speaker 17: Number one, I'd say three levels. Number one, it's certainly

495
00:28:52,280 --> 00:28:54,880
Speaker 17: set back Iran's nuclear program. We don't know yet, No

496
00:28:54,920 --> 00:28:57,920
Speaker 17: one knows if it eliminated it. Number two, it's sent

497
00:28:57,960 --> 00:29:02,120
Speaker 17: Iron and Israel both message that the United States is,

498
00:29:02,520 --> 00:29:06,160
Speaker 17: as Israel is doing, is seizing this opportunity, an unprecedented

499
00:29:06,160 --> 00:29:09,200
Speaker 17: opportunity where Iran, as weak as it's been in quite

500
00:29:09,200 --> 00:29:12,880
Speaker 17: some time, to show that the United States is going

501
00:29:12,920 --> 00:29:16,040
Speaker 17: to partner with Israel. And then number three, it showed

502
00:29:16,040 --> 00:29:20,200
Speaker 17: America's technological superiority over every military in the world. And

503
00:29:20,240 --> 00:29:23,040
Speaker 17: that means that not just Iran, but the folks in

504
00:29:23,080 --> 00:29:27,160
Speaker 17: Beijing and elsewhere can be reminded that if the United

505
00:29:27,200 --> 00:29:29,720
Speaker 17: States decides to use its military power, it's going to

506
00:29:29,720 --> 00:29:32,280
Speaker 17: bring it to bear in a way with a technological

507
00:29:32,280 --> 00:29:35,800
Speaker 17: and human proficiency that's unmatched by everybody else on the planet.

508
00:29:35,800 --> 00:29:38,600
Speaker 17: That's an asymmetrical advantage for the United States.

509
00:29:39,200 --> 00:29:39,800
Speaker 1: None of that.

510
00:29:39,720 --> 00:29:42,680
Speaker 17: Means, though that anybody knows, including the New York Times,

511
00:29:42,760 --> 00:29:46,280
Speaker 17: including the administration, just how far back this has set

512
00:29:46,280 --> 00:29:48,280
Speaker 17: the program. And I think it's going to take a

513
00:29:48,320 --> 00:29:53,040
Speaker 17: lot of human intelligence and electronic surveillance to try to

514
00:29:53,080 --> 00:29:53,720
Speaker 17: figure it out.

515
00:29:54,280 --> 00:29:55,360
Speaker 1: There's no doubt that.

516
00:29:55,640 --> 00:29:57,560
Speaker 17: Iran did not go from being able to build a

517
00:29:57,640 --> 00:30:01,560
Speaker 17: nuclear device and deliver it to being enable completely unable

518
00:30:01,600 --> 00:30:04,320
Speaker 17: to deliver it. And we need to figure that out

519
00:30:04,360 --> 00:30:07,360
Speaker 17: as a news story. But the policymakers need to understand

520
00:30:07,400 --> 00:30:10,280
Speaker 17: because that goes to the next moves for both ISA

521
00:30:10,320 --> 00:30:13,280
Speaker 17: and the United States, whose stated goal is to remove

522
00:30:13,280 --> 00:30:15,520
Speaker 17: that capability, at least for the time being.

523
00:30:17,160 --> 00:30:19,480
Speaker 7: Breaking news, by the way, Axios is saying, we can

524
00:30:19,520 --> 00:30:22,640
Speaker 7: put this up on screen. Israeli official says that Iran

525
00:30:22,800 --> 00:30:27,120
Speaker 7: has now fired towards Qatar and Iraq. Mark what is

526
00:30:27,160 --> 00:30:29,400
Speaker 7: the significance of this. We're going to know a lot

527
00:30:29,520 --> 00:30:35,640
Speaker 7: very quickly of the payload and the intent of the

528
00:30:35,640 --> 00:30:38,960
Speaker 7: Iranian military. A lot of our troops are sitting ducks

529
00:30:38,960 --> 00:30:41,760
Speaker 7: in the region. Kind of walk our audience through. We've

530
00:30:41,800 --> 00:30:44,880
Speaker 7: seen this similar in twenty twenty with the taking out

531
00:30:44,880 --> 00:30:47,320
Speaker 7: a solo money. So please educate our audience on this

532
00:30:47,360 --> 00:30:49,040
Speaker 7: as we see this develop in real time.

533
00:30:49,480 --> 00:30:50,200
Speaker 1: Well, we saw it then.

534
00:30:50,240 --> 00:30:52,640
Speaker 17: We also saw it when Israel and Iran fought a

535
00:30:52,680 --> 00:30:55,920
Speaker 17: few months ago. I think there's a good possibility. I'm

536
00:30:55,960 --> 00:30:58,200
Speaker 17: not predicting, I'm not saying it's the only possible outcome.

537
00:30:58,200 --> 00:31:00,200
Speaker 17: But I think there's a good possibility that are On

538
00:31:00,280 --> 00:31:04,200
Speaker 17: will do something like what they've just reportedly done, tell

539
00:31:04,240 --> 00:31:06,520
Speaker 17: their people it was a huge success and the full

540
00:31:06,600 --> 00:31:09,880
Speaker 17: retaliation and stand down. I think that's a possibility, and

541
00:31:09,920 --> 00:31:11,959
Speaker 17: I know there are people in the administration who are

542
00:31:12,000 --> 00:31:13,920
Speaker 17: familiar with that possibility as well.

543
00:31:14,560 --> 00:31:15,960
Speaker 1: They may also decide to.

544
00:31:16,880 --> 00:31:20,680
Speaker 17: Activate whatever remaining forces they have, both on their own

545
00:31:20,720 --> 00:31:23,560
Speaker 17: and through proxies, to try to harm the United States

546
00:31:23,560 --> 00:31:26,720
Speaker 17: and the United States allies, and that'll put a lot

547
00:31:26,720 --> 00:31:29,680
Speaker 17: of pressure on President Trump to decide what he wants

548
00:31:29,720 --> 00:31:32,080
Speaker 17: to do. His rhetoric suggests that if Aran does that,

549
00:31:32,440 --> 00:31:35,719
Speaker 17: the US will respond quite forcefully, But Israel's taking out

550
00:31:35,720 --> 00:31:38,040
Speaker 17: a lot of targets now, so I'm not sure what's

551
00:31:38,120 --> 00:31:40,560
Speaker 17: left for the US to hit, but there's certainly ways

552
00:31:40,600 --> 00:31:43,600
Speaker 17: to ratchet this up. So if a single American life

553
00:31:43,720 --> 00:31:47,360
Speaker 17: is lost, I think the President will act quite full force.

554
00:31:48,280 --> 00:31:50,520
Speaker 17: If it's just property, maybe not.

555
00:31:51,440 --> 00:31:53,600
Speaker 7: Yeah, And so this has been a little bit telegraphed,

556
00:31:53,600 --> 00:31:55,280
Speaker 7: though we've kind of heard this for the last hour

557
00:31:55,400 --> 00:31:58,320
Speaker 7: or two hours. I'm texting with reporter right now who's

558
00:31:58,400 --> 00:32:00,960
Speaker 7: just about I'd say you're a better reporter, Mark, but

559
00:32:01,000 --> 00:32:04,200
Speaker 7: he's almost he's almost at the helper and league of excellence.

560
00:32:04,560 --> 00:32:07,600
Speaker 7: He says, quote, it sounds like, based on what are reporting,

561
00:32:07,640 --> 00:32:11,040
Speaker 7: this was telegraphed and designed to avoid casualties. Why would

562
00:32:11,040 --> 00:32:14,200
Speaker 7: Iran do that? Why would iron telegraph and design a

563
00:32:14,320 --> 00:32:16,560
Speaker 7: military attack to avoid casualties?

564
00:32:17,160 --> 00:32:20,280
Speaker 17: Well, for long lines of what I said, they have

565
00:32:20,360 --> 00:32:26,040
Speaker 17: to appease their people. Their whole premise of governance has

566
00:32:26,120 --> 00:32:29,719
Speaker 17: been on the military front, the geopolitical front. We're going

567
00:32:29,800 --> 00:32:31,880
Speaker 17: to stand up to the big Satan in a little satan.

568
00:32:32,320 --> 00:32:35,440
Speaker 17: And people in Iran know that the United States and

569
00:32:35,480 --> 00:32:40,440
Speaker 17: Israel and both have now attacked the Iranian assets. And

570
00:32:40,480 --> 00:32:43,120
Speaker 17: I think again they've done this at least twice now

571
00:32:43,440 --> 00:32:47,160
Speaker 17: where they don't want to bring the full measure of

572
00:32:47,160 --> 00:32:49,800
Speaker 17: the United States force upon them, but they need to

573
00:32:49,840 --> 00:32:52,040
Speaker 17: tell their people they've done something. And they can tell

574
00:32:52,040 --> 00:32:54,680
Speaker 17: the Iranian people they did respond, and they can exaggerate

575
00:32:55,040 --> 00:32:57,680
Speaker 17: the degree of success and they you know, the tit

576
00:32:57,760 --> 00:33:01,600
Speaker 17: for tat nature of the response, and that's what many

577
00:33:01,640 --> 00:33:03,800
Speaker 17: people think they'll do and this could be a sign

578
00:33:03,880 --> 00:33:06,320
Speaker 17: of that. But you know, this is not a closed thing.

579
00:33:06,360 --> 00:33:08,520
Speaker 17: It's not like if they get one chance to respond,

580
00:33:08,560 --> 00:33:12,200
Speaker 17: they may respond that way and then respond a different way. Charlie,

581
00:33:12,200 --> 00:33:14,040
Speaker 17: I think the biggest variable in all of this is

582
00:33:14,080 --> 00:33:17,160
Speaker 17: the Iranian people and what the government feels they need

583
00:33:17,240 --> 00:33:20,400
Speaker 17: to do to appease them or keep them from demanding

584
00:33:20,400 --> 00:33:24,000
Speaker 17: a change in government, or or have a perception that

585
00:33:24,040 --> 00:33:27,080
Speaker 17: they're failed regime. And we don't know most of the

586
00:33:27,160 --> 00:33:29,080
Speaker 17: reporting out of Iran, and I'm unfortunately not in a

587
00:33:29,120 --> 00:33:31,920
Speaker 17: position to do much reporting there directly, but most of

588
00:33:31,920 --> 00:33:35,480
Speaker 17: the reporting suggests that they're rallying around the government. They're

589
00:33:36,080 --> 00:33:40,000
Speaker 17: reacting negatively to Israel in the United States, and that's

590
00:33:40,040 --> 00:33:42,280
Speaker 17: good for the government because that means they've got more

591
00:33:42,360 --> 00:33:45,560
Speaker 17: leeway in how they respond without having to worry about

592
00:33:45,560 --> 00:33:47,000
Speaker 17: losing face with their own people.

593
00:33:47,320 --> 00:33:50,240
Speaker 7: Okay, six missiles launched so far by Iran right now

594
00:33:50,280 --> 00:33:54,000
Speaker 7: as we're here on air towards Katar. I'm told many

595
00:33:54,040 --> 00:33:58,160
Speaker 7: have been intercepted. There are multiple explosions over Doha, and

596
00:33:58,200 --> 00:34:01,200
Speaker 7: those interceptions are ongoing right now. Well, so it's conceivable

597
00:34:01,200 --> 00:34:06,239
Speaker 7: that Iran kind of, Hey, it's common, it's common, and

598
00:34:06,280 --> 00:34:10,759
Speaker 7: they didn't, like quite want to kill Americans, but they

599
00:34:10,760 --> 00:34:13,680
Speaker 7: wanted to show face domestically and they said, hey, we

600
00:34:13,719 --> 00:34:17,399
Speaker 7: did this thing. It's over. And I mean I could

601
00:34:17,440 --> 00:34:20,360
Speaker 7: see it if these missiles are successfully intercepted and no

602
00:34:20,600 --> 00:34:24,560
Speaker 7: US troops die. What is your reporting, show Mark, about

603
00:34:24,640 --> 00:34:26,759
Speaker 7: how President Trump would respond. Do you think he will

604
00:34:26,760 --> 00:34:29,319
Speaker 7: take an off ramp and then kind of just put

605
00:34:29,360 --> 00:34:33,360
Speaker 7: this thing, consider it done, if no US troops die.

606
00:34:34,320 --> 00:34:35,120
Speaker 1: In the short term.

607
00:34:35,200 --> 00:34:36,960
Speaker 17: I do think that's what the President would do if

608
00:34:36,960 --> 00:34:41,200
Speaker 17: it's just if it's just some buildings hit. However, is

609
00:34:41,239 --> 00:34:45,120
Speaker 17: an ongoing issue, right the president, you know, to the extent,

610
00:34:45,239 --> 00:34:47,520
Speaker 17: and again you've you've taken heat, as you said, both

611
00:34:48,320 --> 00:34:52,520
Speaker 17: you know, called an isolationisten called a warmonter. The President

612
00:34:52,719 --> 00:34:56,560
Speaker 17: is committed to not letting Iran develop a nuclear capability

613
00:34:56,640 --> 00:35:00,279
Speaker 17: or into continental ballistic capability. The Israeli scene to be

614
00:35:00,400 --> 00:35:03,080
Speaker 17: on this, and they continue to not only hit our

615
00:35:03,120 --> 00:35:05,440
Speaker 17: targets in Iran, but with a great deal of confidence.

616
00:35:05,920 --> 00:35:09,200
Speaker 17: But if there's another element of the mission, like we

617
00:35:09,239 --> 00:35:11,920
Speaker 17: saw over the weekend, where the United States capability can

618
00:35:11,960 --> 00:35:13,840
Speaker 17: get it done and Israel can't they don't have the

619
00:35:13,920 --> 00:35:16,719
Speaker 17: B two's and the bunker busters, then I think the

620
00:35:16,719 --> 00:35:19,680
Speaker 17: President would go back for more. But I think the

621
00:35:19,719 --> 00:35:24,200
Speaker 17: goal is to say, deter on from striking American forces

622
00:35:24,239 --> 00:35:27,440
Speaker 17: around the world, deter them from hitting American forces in

623
00:35:27,440 --> 00:35:30,839
Speaker 17: the United States, and hope that Israel can do what

624
00:35:30,880 --> 00:35:33,359
Speaker 17: both the United States and Israel say they want, which

625
00:35:33,400 --> 00:35:36,799
Speaker 17: is to eliminate that missile capability and that nuclear capability.

626
00:35:37,239 --> 00:35:38,759
Speaker 7: We're getting some of the video now that we're going

627
00:35:38,800 --> 00:35:41,360
Speaker 7: to put up. Sorry, Mark, this is all just breaking

628
00:35:41,400 --> 00:35:42,799
Speaker 7: news in real time here.

629
00:35:43,160 --> 00:35:44,719
Speaker 1: I'm a breaking news guy, Philla.

630
00:35:44,719 --> 00:35:46,399
Speaker 7: No, I know so. And by the way, feel free

631
00:35:46,400 --> 00:35:48,239
Speaker 7: to check your phone, Mark if you're getting sources and

632
00:35:48,280 --> 00:35:51,719
Speaker 7: you're getting information to live on air. The skies of

633
00:35:51,760 --> 00:35:55,279
Speaker 7: Katar are lighting up right now as interceptions seem to

634
00:35:55,320 --> 00:35:57,480
Speaker 7: be occurring, and we're going to try to load up

635
00:35:57,480 --> 00:36:01,680
Speaker 7: those videos. Mark, What is this say for the Maga doctrine,

636
00:36:01,680 --> 00:36:04,680
Speaker 7: for the Trump doctrine? If there is an off ramp,

637
00:36:05,040 --> 00:36:08,000
Speaker 7: President Trump has kind of created a third way. We've

638
00:36:08,080 --> 00:36:10,439
Speaker 7: kind of always existed in Hey, either you're a dove

639
00:36:10,600 --> 00:36:13,919
Speaker 7: or you're a hawk. President Trump has always existed kind

640
00:36:13,920 --> 00:36:18,279
Speaker 7: of in between those two modalities. What does this mean

641
00:36:18,320 --> 00:36:22,600
Speaker 7: for the Trump doctrine and the Trump foreign policy worldview?

642
00:36:23,400 --> 00:36:27,560
Speaker 17: Speak loudly, carry a big stick, use it when necessary,

643
00:36:27,640 --> 00:36:31,799
Speaker 17: and no boots on the ground. I find people who

644
00:36:31,800 --> 00:36:34,120
Speaker 17: are surprised by how President Trump is handling this to

645
00:36:34,239 --> 00:36:38,000
Speaker 17: be guilty of not paying attention. He's doing exactly what

646
00:36:38,080 --> 00:36:41,120
Speaker 17: he said he would do. People say, well, this is

647
00:36:41,160 --> 00:36:44,319
Speaker 17: a slippers slowe. No, he's not going to put boots

648
00:36:44,320 --> 00:36:45,880
Speaker 17: on the ground. They're not going to be American forces

649
00:36:45,920 --> 00:36:48,160
Speaker 17: on the ground. There's going to be no nation building,

650
00:36:48,520 --> 00:36:50,840
Speaker 17: there's going to be no attempt to win the hearts

651
00:36:50,880 --> 00:36:53,319
Speaker 17: and minds of the Iranian people. There'd be a lot

652
00:36:53,320 --> 00:36:55,880
Speaker 17: of rhetoric about how are the Iranian people, as the

653
00:36:55,920 --> 00:36:58,839
Speaker 17: President put on truth Social yesterday, how the Iranian people

654
00:36:58,880 --> 00:37:02,719
Speaker 17: should consider changing their government because their government has not

655
00:37:02,880 --> 00:37:06,000
Speaker 17: performed in their best interests. I think you'll continue to

656
00:37:06,040 --> 00:37:09,520
Speaker 17: see that. I can think you'll continue to see overwhelming

657
00:37:09,560 --> 00:37:12,600
Speaker 17: force US to take out whatever needs to be taken

658
00:37:12,640 --> 00:37:15,520
Speaker 17: out to make sure that Iran cannot be a nuclear power.

659
00:37:15,880 --> 00:37:19,560
Speaker 17: Other than that, I think it's up to the Iranian government.

660
00:37:19,600 --> 00:37:22,640
Speaker 17: If they kill an American, one single American, then I

661
00:37:22,640 --> 00:37:25,880
Speaker 17: think you'll see massive retaliation. And the President made that

662
00:37:26,000 --> 00:37:28,240
Speaker 17: clear to them that doesn't mean boots on the ground.

663
00:37:28,640 --> 00:37:32,799
Speaker 17: We've got extraordinary air power. The Israelis have helped clear

664
00:37:32,880 --> 00:37:37,120
Speaker 17: the way by making the Iranian air force and anti

665
00:37:37,520 --> 00:37:41,600
Speaker 17: air capacity quite limited. And so I think the President,

666
00:37:41,920 --> 00:37:43,880
Speaker 17: as he said over the weekend and the experts I

667
00:37:43,880 --> 00:37:46,399
Speaker 17: talked to, concur the mission that was carried out over

668
00:37:46,400 --> 00:37:48,719
Speaker 17: the weekend is the tough one. The ability of the

669
00:37:48,760 --> 00:37:54,120
Speaker 17: United States to destroy government buildings, political things, bases the navy.

670
00:37:55,000 --> 00:38:00,560
Speaker 17: That's fishing a barrel for the US military.

671
00:38:00,760 --> 00:38:02,680
Speaker 7: All right, we have some visuals. I just want to

672
00:38:02,680 --> 00:38:04,560
Speaker 7: put this up on screen of some of the interceptions

673
00:38:04,760 --> 00:38:07,640
Speaker 7: that are happening over Qatar. Now, remember this is very

674
00:38:07,680 --> 00:38:11,120
Speaker 7: ballsy for Iran to do because Qatar and Iran, I

675
00:38:11,160 --> 00:38:13,439
Speaker 7: don't want to say their allies, but there's definitely something

676
00:38:13,480 --> 00:38:16,160
Speaker 7: that's been going on there with oil and they're they're

677
00:38:16,160 --> 00:38:18,760
Speaker 7: closer than Saudi Arabia and Iran. So this is quite

678
00:38:19,000 --> 00:38:20,960
Speaker 7: a maneuver for Iran to do. But look at that

679
00:38:21,120 --> 00:38:25,600
Speaker 7: those interceptions happening over the skies of Qatar right now,

680
00:38:26,520 --> 00:38:28,759
Speaker 7: that is real stuff. I mean, those ballistic missiles could

681
00:38:28,760 --> 00:38:31,840
Speaker 7: take out hundreds of people if it hits a certain target.

682
00:38:32,480 --> 00:38:35,200
Speaker 7: And so Mark stay right there. I want to tell

683
00:38:35,239 --> 00:38:37,320
Speaker 7: our audience one of our sponsors and then our partners

684
00:38:37,320 --> 00:38:38,480
Speaker 7: were going to go straight to the break. Go to

685
00:38:38,520 --> 00:38:40,239
Speaker 7: done with debt dot Com. Done with debt is great

686
00:38:40,280 --> 00:38:42,880
Speaker 7: if you guys are in debt right now, I encourage

687
00:38:42,880 --> 00:38:45,680
Speaker 7: you guys to go to done with debt wasn't supposed

688
00:38:45,680 --> 00:38:46,840
Speaker 7: to get as bad as it is. I know a

689
00:38:46,880 --> 00:38:48,640
Speaker 7: lot of you guys in debt are looking to get

690
00:38:48,680 --> 00:38:50,239
Speaker 7: out of it. It's called done with debt, and they're

691
00:38:50,239 --> 00:38:52,520
Speaker 7: not like other debt relief companies. They don't push loans

692
00:38:52,560 --> 00:38:55,840
Speaker 7: or bankruptcy on you. Done with Debt are legendary negotiators

693
00:38:55,840 --> 00:38:58,560
Speaker 7: who go head to head with your credit card loan companies.

694
00:38:58,760 --> 00:39:01,120
Speaker 7: They have one goal to dress still, reduce or eliminate

695
00:39:01,160 --> 00:39:03,680
Speaker 7: your debt altogether. And unlike those others, done with debt

696
00:39:03,680 --> 00:39:06,319
Speaker 7: moves lightning fast. Most clients see more money in their

697
00:39:06,360 --> 00:39:08,560
Speaker 7: pocket month one. But a word to the wise, hurry

698
00:39:08,760 --> 00:39:12,000
Speaker 7: because some of their brilliant debt erasing strategies are time sensitive.

706
00:39:29,520 --> 00:39:34,000
Speaker 7: We do not yet have any confirmation of a missile

707
00:39:34,080 --> 00:39:37,680
Speaker 7: hitting a US space yet, but there are more missiles

708
00:39:37,680 --> 00:39:40,080
Speaker 7: being launched right now. Stay right there. Mark Alprin continues

709
00:39:40,120 --> 00:39:59,279
Speaker 7: after the break. Okay, Mark Alprin continues with US Mark,

710
00:39:59,520 --> 00:40:02,880
Speaker 7: right now, looks like initial reports show that all missiles

711
00:40:02,880 --> 00:40:05,440
Speaker 7: were intercepted so far. We need triple confirmation on that.

712
00:40:05,480 --> 00:40:07,280
Speaker 7: I don't know what you're reporting is showing as well,

713
00:40:07,600 --> 00:40:09,920
Speaker 7: but that could be another victory for President Trump to

714
00:40:09,960 --> 00:40:14,040
Speaker 7: show the capacity for the US military to intercept these missiles.

715
00:40:14,120 --> 00:40:17,600
Speaker 7: There's also alarms that are ringing in Iraq and Bahrain,

716
00:40:18,400 --> 00:40:22,120
Speaker 7: and the source of the interception is probably aerial interception

717
00:40:22,320 --> 00:40:26,160
Speaker 7: and also patriot missiles from the bases. Again, we need

718
00:40:26,200 --> 00:40:29,719
Speaker 7: triple confirmation on that. So Mark, really quick, what do

719
00:40:29,719 --> 00:40:32,239
Speaker 7: you make of the politics of all this and kind

720
00:40:32,239 --> 00:40:35,000
Speaker 7: of the response that you've seen from MAGA faithful over

721
00:40:35,040 --> 00:40:38,359
Speaker 7: the last couple of days. You're very uniquely positioned as

722
00:40:38,400 --> 00:40:41,160
Speaker 7: a reporter to comment on this. As we get more

723
00:40:41,200 --> 00:40:44,680
Speaker 7: information about this aerial attack against us basis. What do

724
00:40:44,719 --> 00:40:46,000
Speaker 7: you make of the politics of all this.

725
00:40:47,000 --> 00:40:49,239
Speaker 1: Well, on the Republican side, I think the.

726
00:40:50,800 --> 00:40:55,000
Speaker 17: Stories about, you know, MAGA meltdown are exaggerated. There's a

727
00:40:55,000 --> 00:40:58,480
Speaker 17: few people like Marjorie Taylor Green who are on principle

728
00:40:58,560 --> 00:41:01,160
Speaker 17: opposed to this. I hear it on two way from

729
00:41:01,320 --> 00:41:04,640
Speaker 17: MAGA folks who say this is a violation of what

730
00:41:04,680 --> 00:41:07,719
Speaker 17: the president has stood for. But most people, and I

731
00:41:07,800 --> 00:41:11,399
Speaker 17: put you and Professor Bannon in this category, I think,

732
00:41:11,440 --> 00:41:15,160
Speaker 17: have participated in the debate in a responsible way, in

733
00:41:15,200 --> 00:41:19,520
Speaker 17: most members of Republicans in Congress saying let's make sure

734
00:41:19,560 --> 00:41:22,360
Speaker 17: that this is done consistent not with just American principles,

735
00:41:22,400 --> 00:41:26,680
Speaker 17: but consistent with the principles learned over the last several decades,

736
00:41:26,760 --> 00:41:30,960
Speaker 17: maybe from Vietnam onward, saying America cannot win these wars,

737
00:41:31,120 --> 00:41:33,399
Speaker 17: and America shouldn't get into wars that they can't win.

738
00:41:33,960 --> 00:41:37,440
Speaker 17: But at the same time, using air power and superiority

739
00:41:37,800 --> 00:41:41,080
Speaker 17: to achieve a specific objective, one that the President has

740
00:41:41,120 --> 00:41:43,399
Speaker 17: talked about for such a long time, making sure they're

741
00:41:43,440 --> 00:41:45,440
Speaker 17: not a nuclear power is a big one. I think

742
00:41:45,440 --> 00:41:48,440
Speaker 17: the Democratic Party, perhaps not surprisingly, is just a mess

743
00:41:48,480 --> 00:41:51,680
Speaker 17: on this. There's seventeen different positions. I've yet to hear

744
00:41:51,719 --> 00:41:55,200
Speaker 17: any Democrat annunciate what seems to be the obvious position,

745
00:41:55,280 --> 00:41:58,520
Speaker 17: which is support our troops, demand that the Iraqi of

746
00:41:58,560 --> 00:42:03,400
Speaker 17: the Iranian government not have have nuclear capability or intercontinental

747
00:42:03,600 --> 00:42:07,000
Speaker 17: ballistic missiles, and say that the president's obligated to work

748
00:42:07,000 --> 00:42:09,840
Speaker 17: with Congress whenever he's going to put American forces in

749
00:42:09,840 --> 00:42:14,000
Speaker 17: harm's way. That's like the easy, sensible position that's patriotic

750
00:42:14,040 --> 00:42:17,840
Speaker 17: and rational and doesn't give Donald Trump everything he wants.

751
00:42:17,880 --> 00:42:20,560
Speaker 17: And yet, like I said, I've heard almost no Democrat

752
00:42:20,640 --> 00:42:22,920
Speaker 17: talk about it. I'll be super curious to see if

753
00:42:22,920 --> 00:42:26,680
Speaker 17: the title pull numbers go up, because normally that would happen.

754
00:42:26,840 --> 00:42:29,080
Speaker 7: Oh, I think they will just really quick. It looks

755
00:42:29,120 --> 00:42:31,840
Speaker 7: like there's more ballistic missiles right now launched at Bahrain,

756
00:42:32,320 --> 00:42:34,400
Speaker 7: so it looks as if they're going after multiple targets.

757
00:42:34,400 --> 00:42:37,080
Speaker 7: Based on reporting happening real time here on the program,

758
00:42:37,360 --> 00:42:42,000
Speaker 7: it looks like the Qatar missile strikes were intercepted and

759
00:42:42,120 --> 00:42:45,640
Speaker 7: all six headed to Doha where neutralized intercepted. Huge victory

760
00:42:45,640 --> 00:42:47,880
Speaker 7: for the US military and for the Saudi's and the

761
00:42:47,960 --> 00:42:50,600
Speaker 7: Kataris and the British that all so basically how again

762
00:42:50,600 --> 00:42:54,040
Speaker 7: as a very layman understanding. But basically, we fly a

763
00:42:54,040 --> 00:42:56,600
Speaker 7: bunch of fighter jets and we try to send out

764
00:42:56,640 --> 00:42:59,399
Speaker 7: a bunch of flares and disruptors that try to make

765
00:42:59,440 --> 00:43:03,319
Speaker 7: the missiles explode in air. There are sirens right now

766
00:43:03,360 --> 00:43:05,640
Speaker 7: in Kuwait, so we are not out of the woods yet.

767
00:43:05,880 --> 00:43:08,319
Speaker 7: Bahrain and Kuwait and a Rock are probably the next

768
00:43:08,360 --> 00:43:11,560
Speaker 7: three targets right here on the program as Iran looks

769
00:43:11,600 --> 00:43:15,359
Speaker 7: to retaliate from the US bombing on nuclear sides. Stay

770
00:43:15,440 --> 00:43:28,000
Speaker 7: right there, Welcome back, ever, buddy, Email US Freedom at

771
00:43:28,040 --> 00:43:30,239
Speaker 7: Carli Kirk dot com. Mark Halprin is with US. Okay,

772
00:43:30,280 --> 00:43:33,240
Speaker 7: alarms are ringing right now in Kuwait, they are ringing

773
00:43:33,280 --> 00:43:35,640
Speaker 7: in Bahrain, so eyes are now on those two countries.

774
00:43:35,680 --> 00:43:38,080
Speaker 7: Can we put up a Middle East grim map please? So?

775
00:43:38,239 --> 00:43:40,640
Speaker 7: Qatar is the juiciest of all the targets. It's the

776
00:43:40,719 --> 00:43:43,160
Speaker 7: largest US base, it's in a desert, and it's the

777
00:43:43,239 --> 00:43:46,760
Speaker 7: closest proximity. I think Bahrain actually might be a little

778
00:43:46,760 --> 00:43:49,239
Speaker 7: bit closer. But we also have Blake here who's gonna

779
00:43:49,280 --> 00:43:49,600
Speaker 7: help with us.

780
00:43:49,719 --> 00:43:51,520
Speaker 1: So you gotta go ahead. Marks.

781
00:43:52,000 --> 00:43:54,239
Speaker 17: You gotta worry about a Rock too, because there's a

782
00:43:54,320 --> 00:43:58,040
Speaker 17: history there of not through the air, but just human

783
00:43:58,280 --> 00:44:03,200
Speaker 17: assets on the ground have the capacity to attack American forces.

784
00:44:03,520 --> 00:44:06,640
Speaker 17: Those bases, of course, over years now have been fortified

785
00:44:06,680 --> 00:44:10,959
Speaker 17: and they're pretty well secured. But you never know if

786
00:44:11,000 --> 00:44:13,520
Speaker 17: this is a desperate time for the Iranians when they

787
00:44:13,560 --> 00:44:17,040
Speaker 17: may start to activate long haled assets who are in

788
00:44:17,040 --> 00:44:19,839
Speaker 17: a position to do harmed to America. The air defenses,

789
00:44:20,200 --> 00:44:22,360
Speaker 17: as Israel has shown in this part of the world,

790
00:44:22,400 --> 00:44:25,640
Speaker 17: are very good. Israel shoots down a very high percentage

791
00:44:25,640 --> 00:44:28,960
Speaker 17: of attacks on them from all quarters. And you mentioned

792
00:44:29,000 --> 00:44:30,040
Speaker 17: the list of countries for him.

793
00:44:30,080 --> 00:44:31,719
Speaker 1: This is a victory. I know you didn't do it

794
00:44:31,760 --> 00:44:32,440
Speaker 1: on purpose, but.

795
00:44:32,480 --> 00:44:36,440
Speaker 17: Just a live rattle. Israel big part of this as

796
00:44:36,480 --> 00:44:39,400
Speaker 17: well in terms of intelligence sharing, in terms of technology.

797
00:44:40,600 --> 00:44:45,680
Speaker 7: So Mark, right now again reports are showing French, British

798
00:44:45,719 --> 00:44:48,240
Speaker 7: and American fighter jets are all over the Persian Gulf,

799
00:44:48,360 --> 00:44:50,200
Speaker 7: just kind of going nuts. I want you to remind

800
00:44:50,200 --> 00:44:53,239
Speaker 7: the audience though, when we took out Solemney, we were

801
00:44:53,280 --> 00:44:55,520
Speaker 7: able to get out with zero US troops, so this

802
00:44:55,600 --> 00:44:58,440
Speaker 7: would not be unprecedented where we do something with a

803
00:44:58,440 --> 00:45:00,800
Speaker 7: lot of HUTSPA, or we do some something where President

804
00:45:00,840 --> 00:45:05,279
Speaker 7: Trump really acts with decisiveness, with violence. But then we're

805
00:45:05,280 --> 00:45:08,160
Speaker 7: able to get out without a single US troop dead.

806
00:45:08,440 --> 00:45:11,560
Speaker 7: To do that twice, Mark, would be a rather phenomenal

807
00:45:12,160 --> 00:45:15,840
Speaker 7: accomplishment in the modern era. Mark, Mark Helprint, Well.

808
00:45:15,680 --> 00:45:18,879
Speaker 17: It has to do with the extraordinary capabilities of the Pentagon, right,

809
00:45:18,920 --> 00:45:21,200
Speaker 17: they're following the orders the commander in chief, the Secretary

810
00:45:21,239 --> 00:45:23,799
Speaker 17: of Defense, and the President puts a premium on that

811
00:45:24,440 --> 00:45:26,120
Speaker 17: doesn't want a single casualty.

812
00:45:26,239 --> 00:45:28,200
Speaker 1: But it also has to do with his attitude.

813
00:45:28,360 --> 00:45:32,200
Speaker 17: His attitude is again, speak loudly, carry a big stick,

814
00:45:32,480 --> 00:45:35,160
Speaker 17: only use it when absolutely essential, and he doesn't. He

815
00:45:35,200 --> 00:45:38,640
Speaker 17: doesn't want Americans to die. Continues to be the less

816
00:45:39,160 --> 00:45:41,719
Speaker 17: failure to understand Donald Trump when they call him a warmonger.

817
00:45:41,920 --> 00:45:45,080
Speaker 17: He's the opposite of that. He's extremely aware of the

818
00:45:45,160 --> 00:45:48,360
Speaker 17: costs not just for American families, but for American prestige

819
00:45:48,680 --> 00:45:53,600
Speaker 17: and the military's capacity for when America suffers casualties. And

820
00:45:53,600 --> 00:45:57,799
Speaker 17: that's why, again, I just people who worry about him saying, well,

821
00:45:57,840 --> 00:46:00,279
Speaker 17: we're going to go in and start building firehouse in

822
00:46:00,360 --> 00:46:02,000
Speaker 17: parks and schools in Iran.

823
00:46:02,400 --> 00:46:03,320
Speaker 1: It's not going to happen.

824
00:46:04,920 --> 00:46:06,759
Speaker 7: Final thoughts here, Mark, and Mark, by the way, you're

825
00:46:06,760 --> 00:46:08,279
Speaker 7: welcome to hang with us as we kind of do

826
00:46:08,360 --> 00:46:10,120
Speaker 7: breaking news. We're just going to roll through this, but

827
00:46:10,239 --> 00:46:12,759
Speaker 7: I know you have a busy schedule. It sounds as

828
00:46:12,760 --> 00:46:17,680
Speaker 7: if we need to get this verified. There is explosions

829
00:46:17,719 --> 00:46:20,359
Speaker 7: at the Al Asad Air Base in Iraq. That does

830
00:46:20,400 --> 00:46:23,640
Speaker 7: not mean that anybody necessarily died. There were explosions at

831
00:46:23,640 --> 00:46:26,200
Speaker 7: these bases back in twenty twenty. It does not mean

832
00:46:26,200 --> 00:46:30,400
Speaker 7: that any US troops died. Ten missiles were launched targeting

833
00:46:30,520 --> 00:46:33,600
Speaker 7: US bases in Qatar. I think that those US bases

834
00:46:33,719 --> 00:46:37,520
Speaker 7: that was a successful interception. The Iraqi one is an

835
00:46:37,560 --> 00:46:40,640
Speaker 7: open question. As you astutely mentioned, Mark, the Iraq one

836
00:46:40,680 --> 00:46:44,120
Speaker 7: is very close geographically. There's a ton of Iraqi bases.

837
00:46:44,400 --> 00:46:46,200
Speaker 7: In some ways, they were kind of sitting ducks. So

838
00:46:46,760 --> 00:46:51,880
Speaker 7: it sounds like there might be a successful missile launch.

839
00:46:52,280 --> 00:46:55,080
Speaker 7: Successful in the worst possible way to say those words,

840
00:46:55,400 --> 00:46:59,080
Speaker 7: on a US base in Iraq. Also, sirens at US

841
00:46:59,080 --> 00:47:01,759
Speaker 7: bases in Saudi raced This looks like they're doing a

842
00:47:01,880 --> 00:47:02,839
Speaker 7: major volley here.

843
00:47:02,920 --> 00:47:03,120
Speaker 6: Mark.

844
00:47:03,719 --> 00:47:06,160
Speaker 17: Yeah, and look, this is one of the many things

845
00:47:06,160 --> 00:47:08,680
Speaker 17: that people worried about. People who did not think the

846
00:47:08,840 --> 00:47:12,080
Speaker 17: US attack on the nuclear program was a good idea

847
00:47:12,120 --> 00:47:14,560
Speaker 17: for worried about just this, and now there's going to

848
00:47:14,560 --> 00:47:16,680
Speaker 17: be a question of how long do they keep it up,

849
00:47:16,800 --> 00:47:19,440
Speaker 17: do they kill any Americans? And if they do, what

850
00:47:19,600 --> 00:47:24,319
Speaker 17: is President Trump's response. There's also a possibility, of course

851
00:47:24,360 --> 00:47:27,319
Speaker 17: of communication and to say to the Iranians, Okay, you've

852
00:47:27,320 --> 00:47:30,799
Speaker 17: got your measure of revenge, now let's negotiate, or we

853
00:47:30,920 --> 00:47:35,840
Speaker 17: will reply in greater force. That will I predict to

854
00:47:35,840 --> 00:47:37,879
Speaker 17: be what the President does. I think he will make

855
00:47:37,920 --> 00:47:40,400
Speaker 17: one more effort to get them to the table. And

856
00:47:40,440 --> 00:47:42,560
Speaker 17: if they don't come promptly to the table in a

857
00:47:42,560 --> 00:47:45,280
Speaker 17: realistic way, I think you will see, as he suggested

858
00:47:45,320 --> 00:47:48,720
Speaker 17: over the weekend, overwhelming force. And that's if a single

859
00:47:48,800 --> 00:47:49,720
Speaker 17: American dies.

860
00:47:51,640 --> 00:47:54,120
Speaker 7: And Mark, just to repeat a point that we've made

861
00:47:54,120 --> 00:47:55,600
Speaker 7: over the last couple of weeks, and this is not

862
00:47:55,719 --> 00:47:57,480
Speaker 7: in any way and I told you so. This was

863
00:47:57,600 --> 00:48:01,799
Speaker 7: just a cautionary element. When we get into these situations,

864
00:48:01,840 --> 00:48:04,120
Speaker 7: you don't know what's going to happen, You don't no

865
00:48:04,200 --> 00:48:06,520
Speaker 7: one could die, A hundred people could die. And that

866
00:48:06,760 --> 00:48:10,080
Speaker 7: risk has always been the root of my caution. When

867
00:48:10,080 --> 00:48:12,600
Speaker 7: you get in these situations, there's a thousand different ways

868
00:48:12,600 --> 00:48:14,799
Speaker 7: this stuff can fall apart. Mark Helprin thirty.

869
00:48:14,520 --> 00:48:16,440
Speaker 1: Seconds, hundred percent.

870
00:48:17,000 --> 00:48:19,040
Speaker 17: And the rejoinder, as you know, and which you've also

871
00:48:19,280 --> 00:48:22,960
Speaker 17: given voice to, is the status quo ain't great. We

872
00:48:23,040 --> 00:48:25,720
Speaker 17: have a country vowing to destory Israel, a country vowing

873
00:48:25,719 --> 00:48:28,319
Speaker 17: to do harm to the United States, and this is

874
00:48:28,360 --> 00:48:31,000
Speaker 17: an opportunity of the President's taking. It might not work

875
00:48:31,040 --> 00:48:33,080
Speaker 17: out well, and I know full well the President went

876
00:48:33,120 --> 00:48:36,600
Speaker 17: into it, asking questions about and knowing full well all

877
00:48:36,640 --> 00:48:38,640
Speaker 17: the things that could go wrong, and still decided it

878
00:48:38,719 --> 00:48:40,560
Speaker 17: was worth it. And the American people are going to

879
00:48:40,560 --> 00:48:43,400
Speaker 17: continue to debate no matter what happens, whether it was

880
00:48:43,400 --> 00:48:45,200
Speaker 17: the right choice or not. And that's as it should

881
00:48:45,200 --> 00:48:47,800
Speaker 17: be in a democracy of robust freedom.

882
00:48:48,400 --> 00:48:50,279
Speaker 7: Mark open invite if you want to keep going. We

883
00:48:50,320 --> 00:48:52,640
Speaker 7: have over one hundred thousand concurrens right now, so we'll

884
00:48:52,640 --> 00:48:54,759
Speaker 7: be back in about ten seconds. Everybody email me Freedom

885
00:48:54,800 --> 00:48:57,160
Speaker 7: at Charliekirk dot com. Back in ten seconds. Let's go

886
00:48:57,160 --> 00:49:12,160
Speaker 7: through the brakes. Okay, I think we still have Mark

887
00:49:12,200 --> 00:49:14,880
Speaker 7: Alprin with us, and we also Mark open invite. You

888
00:49:14,880 --> 00:49:16,280
Speaker 7: could stay as long as you like. We have Blake.

889
00:49:16,840 --> 00:49:17,080
Speaker 1: Blake.

890
00:49:17,120 --> 00:49:19,359
Speaker 7: How you doing great, Charlie? What are we hearing of

891
00:49:19,360 --> 00:49:22,120
Speaker 7: the end? Well? Hopefully, hopefully we're doing great exact so

892
00:49:22,280 --> 00:49:25,319
Speaker 7: no visual reports or missiles over Kuwait and Bahrain. So

893
00:49:25,360 --> 00:49:29,080
Speaker 7: we have reports of you know, sirens going off, scrambling,

894
00:49:29,160 --> 00:49:31,360
Speaker 7: so that is what preceded the stuff in Qatar, but

895
00:49:31,400 --> 00:49:34,040
Speaker 7: we haven't seen any video of missiles coming in and

896
00:49:34,080 --> 00:49:37,840
Speaker 7: over there. There are reports of explosions at Alisada Airbase

897
00:49:37,880 --> 00:49:40,520
Speaker 7: in Iraq, there's no footage of that. Alisad is in

898
00:49:40,560 --> 00:49:43,080
Speaker 7: the western desert of Iraq, so there you wouldn't be

899
00:49:43,440 --> 00:49:46,040
Speaker 7: you know, in Qatar, any random person might see missiles

900
00:49:46,080 --> 00:49:46,400
Speaker 7: coming in.

901
00:49:46,440 --> 00:49:48,240
Speaker 18: It's not a big country, it's all right by doa

902
00:49:48,920 --> 00:49:51,319
Speaker 18: very soil. So we'll be probably waiting for reports to

903
00:49:51,360 --> 00:49:51,680
Speaker 18: come in.

904
00:49:52,360 --> 00:49:54,839
Speaker 7: So uh, Mark, we have Mark Alprin with us. By

905
00:49:54,840 --> 00:49:56,359
Speaker 7: the way, I want you guys to email us Freedom

906
00:49:56,400 --> 00:49:59,520
Speaker 7: at Charlie Kirk dot com as we are monitoring this

907
00:49:59,600 --> 00:50:02,879
Speaker 7: situation live as it is unfolding in front of US

908
00:50:03,440 --> 00:50:05,839
Speaker 7: coalition of jets. This is breaking news. Coalition of jets

909
00:50:05,920 --> 00:50:12,800
Speaker 7: intercepting Iranian drones over Katar, Iraq, Saudi and UAE air spaces.

910
00:50:12,800 --> 00:50:15,239
Speaker 7: So look, can we get the map break up again,

911
00:50:15,280 --> 00:50:17,439
Speaker 7: Let's get that Middle East map up. So if they're

912
00:50:17,480 --> 00:50:21,080
Speaker 7: going to Katar, Iraq, Saudi Arabia, and UAE. They are

913
00:50:21,120 --> 00:50:23,799
Speaker 7: just they are flucked. They are flushing out in many

914
00:50:23,800 --> 00:50:27,720
Speaker 7: different directions. I want just a quick Middle Eastern geopolitical

915
00:50:27,800 --> 00:50:29,279
Speaker 7: lesson for those of you that are tuning in. A

916
00:50:29,280 --> 00:50:33,040
Speaker 7: lot of you are Iran is at odds with very

917
00:50:33,080 --> 00:50:35,839
Speaker 7: much at odds with the UAE and Saudi Arabia. There's

918
00:50:35,880 --> 00:50:38,640
Speaker 7: a Sunni Shia split. They just don't like each other.

919
00:50:38,680 --> 00:50:44,319
Speaker 7: They haven't for quite some time, especially Saudi Arabia and Iran. Airstrikes.

920
00:50:44,560 --> 00:50:47,799
Speaker 7: Air strikes in Iraq are now being reported, and so

921
00:50:47,880 --> 00:50:50,120
Speaker 7: the jets, by the way, pray for our service members

922
00:50:50,160 --> 00:50:53,280
Speaker 7: right now that are in jets intercepting drones, they're intercepting missiles.

923
00:50:53,680 --> 00:50:56,080
Speaker 7: This seems to be a pretty serious salvo by Iran.

924
00:50:56,400 --> 00:51:00,279
Speaker 7: Whether it is somewhat performative or theatrical, we will see.

925
00:51:00,320 --> 00:51:02,040
Speaker 7: We know it's real. But what I mean by performed

926
00:51:02,040 --> 00:51:04,080
Speaker 7: and theatrical, there has been a little bit of a

927
00:51:04,080 --> 00:51:06,359
Speaker 7: wind up to this close the airspace, you know, a

928
00:51:06,360 --> 00:51:09,360
Speaker 7: little bit of a hey, we're coming because does Iran

929
00:51:09,560 --> 00:51:12,920
Speaker 7: want to see this? Escalate? Mark, what are your sources

930
00:51:12,960 --> 00:51:14,880
Speaker 7: telling you? What are you seeing here? And if not,

931
00:51:14,920 --> 00:51:16,520
Speaker 7: you could go back. I don't mean to throw it

932
00:51:16,520 --> 00:51:16,719
Speaker 7: to you.

933
00:51:17,400 --> 00:51:18,120
Speaker 1: No, that's okay.

934
00:51:18,360 --> 00:51:25,920
Speaker 7: I mean, well, okay, we lost mark for a second here, Blake,

935
00:51:26,040 --> 00:51:26,719
Speaker 7: what are we see in.

936
00:51:26,920 --> 00:51:28,840
Speaker 6: So there's definitely the belief.

937
00:51:29,160 --> 00:51:31,440
Speaker 18: The big worry is if they hit us, are they

938
00:51:31,440 --> 00:51:34,600
Speaker 18: going to actually try to cause as much damage as

939
00:51:34,600 --> 00:51:38,200
Speaker 18: they can or is it they need to show that

940
00:51:38,239 --> 00:51:40,960
Speaker 18: they're willing to fight, much like we did remember this

941
00:51:41,040 --> 00:51:43,600
Speaker 18: in Trump's first term, where when we took out Solomony,

942
00:51:43,640 --> 00:51:46,719
Speaker 18: they shot missiles at us to sort of impress their

943
00:51:46,760 --> 00:51:51,000
Speaker 18: own domestic political base, but they weren't really attempting to

944
00:51:51,000 --> 00:51:52,560
Speaker 18: do as much damage as they could. They were not

945
00:51:52,640 --> 00:51:56,120
Speaker 18: going to all out war over this, and we might

946
00:51:56,400 --> 00:52:00,279
Speaker 18: see a similar strategy here. On the other hand, it

947
00:52:00,320 --> 00:52:04,319
Speaker 18: could also be there testing it, probing it, seen what

948
00:52:04,480 --> 00:52:06,960
Speaker 18: might be vulnerable, or just trying to deplete our stockpile

949
00:52:07,000 --> 00:52:08,160
Speaker 18: of interceptor missiles.

950
00:52:08,280 --> 00:52:10,680
Speaker 7: Yes, okay. So breaking news, Iran says it has now

951
00:52:10,800 --> 00:52:15,040
Speaker 7: launched what is called Operation bak al Fata against the

952
00:52:15,120 --> 00:52:18,920
Speaker 7: US led coalition of the airbase in al Uided in Qatar.

953
00:52:19,360 --> 00:52:22,799
Speaker 7: The IRGC is to release his statement shortly, which means

954
00:52:22,800 --> 00:52:26,279
Speaker 7: that this is probably coming to a conclusion to an end.

955
00:52:26,560 --> 00:52:29,240
Speaker 7: So this is the question everybody. Is this a real escalation?

956
00:52:29,320 --> 00:52:31,839
Speaker 7: Does Iran want to escalate this or is this kind

957
00:52:31,880 --> 00:52:34,560
Speaker 7: of a domestic show of political force that they could

958
00:52:34,600 --> 00:52:37,480
Speaker 7: check the box? Is it a one and done? Do

959
00:52:37,520 --> 00:52:39,759
Speaker 7: we have Mark Alpern or do we lose him? Is

960
00:52:39,760 --> 00:52:42,640
Speaker 7: he we lost him? Okay, we lost him, got it.

961
00:52:42,960 --> 00:52:45,160
Speaker 7: He's welcome to come back if you'd like. And so

962
00:52:45,320 --> 00:52:48,879
Speaker 7: initial reports right now show three reports of impact at

963
00:52:48,880 --> 00:52:50,719
Speaker 7: the US base and al you did. This is fog

964
00:52:50,719 --> 00:52:52,840
Speaker 7: of war stuff, guys, So we have to like triple

965
00:52:52,880 --> 00:52:55,880
Speaker 7: confirm all of this. So there are additional attacks happening

966
00:52:55,920 --> 00:52:58,839
Speaker 7: right now in Iraq? Can we show the Kuwait up?

967
00:52:59,040 --> 00:53:01,399
Speaker 7: I just this Kuwait is the most Middle Eastern picture.

968
00:53:01,440 --> 00:53:03,239
Speaker 7: I'm sorry, this is the most Middle Eastern video ever.

969
00:53:03,520 --> 00:53:07,960
Speaker 7: It literally shows missiles being intercepted and a bunch of yachts. No, no, no,

970
00:53:08,000 --> 00:53:09,399
Speaker 7: you got to show the Kuwait one I just sent.

971
00:53:09,560 --> 00:53:12,919
Speaker 7: It's literally a bunch of yachts and then a bunch

972
00:53:12,920 --> 00:53:16,040
Speaker 7: of yachts on the bottom part in water, and then

973
00:53:16,080 --> 00:53:19,239
Speaker 7: a bunch of missiles being intercepted above and a bunch

974
00:53:19,280 --> 00:53:22,719
Speaker 7: of like four season like luxury condominiums. That is the

975
00:53:22,760 --> 00:53:26,319
Speaker 7: most Middle Eastern video you'll ever see, which is you just.

976
00:53:26,280 --> 00:53:28,120
Speaker 18: Need like a guy to be like going through with

977
00:53:28,120 --> 00:53:30,520
Speaker 18: like an AK forty seven that's gold plated or something

978
00:53:30,560 --> 00:53:31,719
Speaker 18: that he just like sprays in the air.

979
00:53:31,760 --> 00:53:34,080
Speaker 7: Exactly. President Donald Trump right now is arrived in the

980
00:53:34,120 --> 00:53:36,640
Speaker 7: situation room. Those optics right now to show one more time,

981
00:53:36,680 --> 00:53:39,359
Speaker 7: that is Kuwait. You've got missiles being intercepted up top,

982
00:53:39,560 --> 00:53:41,960
Speaker 7: you've got luxury condos in the middle, and you've got

983
00:53:42,000 --> 00:53:45,359
Speaker 7: yacht yachts on the bottom. Welcome to Kuwait, everybody. Oh yeah,

984
00:53:45,360 --> 00:53:47,239
Speaker 7: I think it's Kuwait. By the way. Right now, US

985
00:53:47,280 --> 00:53:49,839
Speaker 7: generals are meeting with President Trump in the situation room.

986
00:53:49,840 --> 00:53:51,440
Speaker 7: We are looking at all of our sources. We have

987
00:53:51,480 --> 00:53:53,279
Speaker 7: the best sources, I would say.

988
00:53:53,280 --> 00:53:53,640
Speaker 1: Outside.

989
00:53:53,680 --> 00:53:56,160
Speaker 7: We're texting a lot of the stakeholders that those that

990
00:53:56,200 --> 00:53:58,799
Speaker 7: are not currently in skips right now, we're texting. We're

991
00:53:58,800 --> 00:54:03,160
Speaker 7: getting information in real time. Okay, so Irani and missiles

992
00:54:03,160 --> 00:54:05,480
Speaker 7: are being intercepted. But it looks as if, unfortunately, there

993
00:54:05,480 --> 00:54:09,040
Speaker 7: have been some three successful strikes in bases in Iraq,

994
00:54:09,080 --> 00:54:11,000
Speaker 7: but we don't know if those are intercepted missiles that

995
00:54:11,040 --> 00:54:13,839
Speaker 7: maybe made their way through. Are they fragments, are they

996
00:54:13,880 --> 00:54:14,920
Speaker 7: direct hits.

997
00:54:15,440 --> 00:54:17,400
Speaker 6: And if they hit, did they hit anything with people

998
00:54:17,400 --> 00:54:17,640
Speaker 6: in it?

999
00:54:17,920 --> 00:54:20,360
Speaker 7: Yes? And so by the way, this why every minute matters.

1000
00:54:20,400 --> 00:54:21,920
Speaker 7: The fact that there was almost an hour and a

1001
00:54:21,960 --> 00:54:24,600
Speaker 7: half or two hour heads up means that everybody could

1002
00:54:24,600 --> 00:54:28,000
Speaker 7: have gotten in vehicles and you know, drove off base.

1003
00:54:28,320 --> 00:54:30,319
Speaker 7: They could got they could get planes up in the air,

1004
00:54:30,360 --> 00:54:32,680
Speaker 7: they could get into bunkers. And by the way, the

1005
00:54:32,760 --> 00:54:34,799
Speaker 7: US drew down their presence at a lot of these

1006
00:54:34,840 --> 00:54:37,920
Speaker 7: bases from ten thousand to five thousand, there's been a

1007
00:54:37,920 --> 00:54:40,200
Speaker 7: significant draw down to try to limit some of the

1008
00:54:40,239 --> 00:54:45,040
Speaker 7: casualties and limit this response. There's no yet indication that

1009
00:54:45,040 --> 00:54:47,719
Speaker 7: Iran is going to close the straight of hermus That

1010
00:54:47,760 --> 00:54:51,000
Speaker 7: would be a serious escalation, one that would actually also

1011
00:54:51,080 --> 00:54:53,920
Speaker 7: hurt China. So I think that there is a that

1012
00:54:54,000 --> 00:54:56,960
Speaker 7: is probably unlikely that'll happen. We now have footage that

1013
00:54:56,960 --> 00:55:00,800
Speaker 7: we're about to put up that the bay being struck.

1014
00:55:00,840 --> 00:55:02,920
Speaker 7: The report is this quote. It appears that there have

1015
00:55:02,920 --> 00:55:05,640
Speaker 7: been three direct hits on the large American base in Qatar.

1016
00:55:06,440 --> 00:55:09,440
Speaker 7: There are no yet reported casualties at the base as

1017
00:55:09,440 --> 00:55:12,600
Speaker 7: it was evacuated several days ago, but damage has been caused.

1018
00:55:12,640 --> 00:55:15,560
Speaker 7: Pray that remains everybody. It was just building damage and

1019
00:55:15,600 --> 00:55:20,279
Speaker 7: it's just equipment damage. Remember President Donald Trump exercised restraint. Again.

1020
00:55:20,320 --> 00:55:23,080
Speaker 7: President has a lot of history and drama with Iran.

1021
00:55:23,360 --> 00:55:27,400
Speaker 7: Do remember when Iran they struck down one of American drones?

1022
00:55:27,480 --> 00:55:28,759
Speaker 6: Yeah, they shot our robot down.

1023
00:55:28,840 --> 00:55:31,680
Speaker 7: Can we get that clip of Trump being like, I'm

1024
00:55:31,680 --> 00:55:34,040
Speaker 7: not going to strike Iran and kill one hundred Iranians

1025
00:55:34,040 --> 00:55:37,319
Speaker 7: because they just struck down a robot. And so, by

1026
00:55:37,360 --> 00:55:39,920
Speaker 7: the way, if this response is limited to a few missiles,

1027
00:55:40,239 --> 00:55:42,440
Speaker 7: let's put three fifty seven up. President Donald Trump will

1028
00:55:42,440 --> 00:55:46,160
Speaker 7: be able to declare an unbelievable military victory. We take

1029
00:55:46,200 --> 00:55:50,239
Speaker 7: out a nuclear capability. No Americans die. Okay, So let

1030
00:55:50,280 --> 00:55:52,879
Speaker 7: me just repeat. There are reports of three direct hits

1031
00:55:52,920 --> 00:55:56,719
Speaker 7: on US Bass and Katar, no reports of US casualties,

1032
00:55:57,160 --> 00:56:01,160
Speaker 7: No reports of US casualties in an operation called the

1033
00:56:01,160 --> 00:56:03,319
Speaker 7: annunciation of victory. Again, these guys are a bunch of

1034
00:56:03,320 --> 00:56:05,439
Speaker 7: theyre just a bunch of talkers. They got a big

1035
00:56:05,480 --> 00:56:08,600
Speaker 7: they got a big mouth in a run launched against

1036
00:56:08,680 --> 00:56:11,480
Speaker 7: US Bass in a rock guitar, and Iran is confirming,

1037
00:56:11,520 --> 00:56:14,160
Speaker 7: of course they're doing it. We we know that. So

1038
00:56:15,560 --> 00:56:17,600
Speaker 7: Lindsay Graham is now saying now it's time to end

1039
00:56:17,600 --> 00:56:20,240
Speaker 7: this madness in Iran. He's just calling for absolute regime change.

1040
00:56:20,360 --> 00:56:24,240
Speaker 7: Mister President, please, I will call you later with this message,

1041
00:56:24,280 --> 00:56:27,600
Speaker 7: but please resist. Lindsay Graham. Please, if they do not

1042
00:56:27,800 --> 00:56:29,920
Speaker 7: kill an American and they just bomb a bunch of

1043
00:56:29,920 --> 00:56:33,319
Speaker 7: our equipment, take the W. Take the W. You will

1044
00:56:33,360 --> 00:56:36,920
Speaker 7: be able to say you did the most successful military

1045
00:56:37,000 --> 00:56:40,440
Speaker 7: operation in history taking out a nuclear program with no

1046
00:56:40,600 --> 00:56:42,600
Speaker 7: US troops dies. If that ends up bearing out, we

1047
00:56:42,640 --> 00:56:44,719
Speaker 7: do not know that is true, Blake, can you comment

1048
00:56:44,760 --> 00:56:46,759
Speaker 7: on that? That would be the phenomena that.

1049
00:56:46,680 --> 00:56:49,600
Speaker 18: Would be It would be by far the biggest win

1050
00:56:49,880 --> 00:56:52,040
Speaker 18: for I think you know the way Trump sees his

1051
00:56:52,040 --> 00:56:55,400
Speaker 18: own military stuff, of I will act decisively, but without

1052
00:56:55,520 --> 00:56:57,799
Speaker 18: you know, with a clear objective, without.

1053
00:56:57,520 --> 00:56:58,880
Speaker 6: Any open ended commitment.

1054
00:56:59,120 --> 00:57:02,400
Speaker 18: If he's able to even you know, even temporarily or

1055
00:57:02,440 --> 00:57:05,080
Speaker 18: significantly set back the nuclear program, let alone destroy it.

1056
00:57:05,160 --> 00:57:08,600
Speaker 18: If you can say I blew this twenty year threat

1057
00:57:08,760 --> 00:57:11,000
Speaker 18: to Smith Marines and all they did was they shot

1058
00:57:11,040 --> 00:57:14,120
Speaker 18: some bottle rockets at US and killed nobody, that is

1059
00:57:14,160 --> 00:57:15,080
Speaker 18: a big win for it.

1060
00:57:15,040 --> 00:57:16,400
Speaker 7: And we don't we don't want to, we don't want

1061
00:57:16,440 --> 00:57:19,520
Speaker 7: to get that Americans might be dying right now, so

1062
00:57:19,560 --> 00:57:21,480
Speaker 7: we want to stay that with humility. This is big

1063
00:57:21,520 --> 00:57:24,920
Speaker 7: breaking news. The Katari Ministry of Defense reports that Katari

1064
00:57:24,960 --> 00:57:27,760
Speaker 7: Air Defense is intercepted a missile attack aimed at the

1065
00:57:27,800 --> 00:57:30,240
Speaker 7: Ayu Ed Air Base. And so, by the way, thank

1066
00:57:30,280 --> 00:57:32,160
Speaker 7: you Katar. I know that there's been a lot of

1067
00:57:32,200 --> 00:57:36,560
Speaker 7: anti Katari language and we haven't really gotten into that,

1068
00:57:37,040 --> 00:57:40,120
Speaker 7: but if it's true that Katari Air Defense is intercepted

1069
00:57:40,160 --> 00:57:42,360
Speaker 7: a missile, then they might have saved American lives. So

1070
00:57:42,400 --> 00:57:46,520
Speaker 7: you have to there has to be a definitely some

1071
00:57:46,640 --> 00:57:48,840
Speaker 7: moral clarity there. And again there's a lot of language

1072
00:57:48,840 --> 00:57:52,160
Speaker 7: that okay, Qatar funds the Prohamas crowd. That seems to

1073
00:57:52,200 --> 00:57:55,440
Speaker 7: also be true, but that might be a very complicated actor.

1074
00:57:55,720 --> 00:57:57,959
Speaker 7: The straight of horror moves has not been closed down

1075
00:57:58,000 --> 00:58:01,120
Speaker 7: any reports that demonstrate that. Really quick, Blake, I'm going

1076
00:58:01,160 --> 00:58:02,880
Speaker 7: to test you with thirty seconds, what is the sort

1077
00:58:02,920 --> 00:58:04,360
Speaker 7: of hormves? What would it mean if they close it?

1078
00:58:04,400 --> 00:58:05,200
Speaker 7: So thirty second hormos?

1079
00:58:05,280 --> 00:58:05,600
Speaker 6: All right?

1080
00:58:05,600 --> 00:58:07,720
Speaker 18: The Persian Gulf is that little body of water that

1081
00:58:07,760 --> 00:58:11,080
Speaker 18: showed the media going up to Iraq and then past

1082
00:58:11,160 --> 00:58:12,600
Speaker 18: that is the Arabian Seed.

1083
00:58:12,640 --> 00:58:13,640
Speaker 6: That's the Indian Ocean.

1084
00:58:13,760 --> 00:58:15,920
Speaker 18: The Strait of Horror Moves is the narrow body of

1085
00:58:15,960 --> 00:58:17,840
Speaker 18: water that goes through it. I believe it's named after

1086
00:58:17,880 --> 00:58:22,000
Speaker 18: an island that the Portuguese owned, and that is the

1087
00:58:22,080 --> 00:58:24,240
Speaker 18: narrow worst part. So Iran could mine it, they could

1088
00:58:24,280 --> 00:58:26,440
Speaker 18: shoot missiles at it, and ships would not want to

1089
00:58:26,440 --> 00:58:27,040
Speaker 18: go in there because.

1090
00:58:26,840 --> 00:58:27,720
Speaker 6: They don't want to get right into.

1091
00:58:27,800 --> 00:58:28,800
Speaker 7: Oil would go up, the.

1092
00:58:28,920 --> 00:58:29,840
Speaker 6: Price would go way up.

1093
00:58:30,000 --> 00:58:32,240
Speaker 18: A huge amount of the world's oil passes through that

1094
00:58:32,280 --> 00:58:33,560
Speaker 18: straight on its way to global markets.

1095
00:58:33,640 --> 00:58:35,720
Speaker 7: Email us Freedom at Charliekirk dot com. I want to

1096
00:58:35,760 --> 00:58:37,520
Speaker 7: know what you are thinking about all this. We're reading

1097
00:58:37,520 --> 00:58:40,160
Speaker 7: the emails here live on air. Freedom at Charliekirk dot com.

1098
00:58:40,360 --> 00:58:42,560
Speaker 7: We have Alex Marlow that would join the program. We're

1099
00:58:42,560 --> 00:58:44,760
Speaker 7: going to be back in ten seconds. In the meantime,

1100
00:58:44,920 --> 00:58:48,320
Speaker 7: subscribe to our podcast right now Charlie Kirkshow podcast page.

1101
00:58:48,320 --> 00:59:11,040
Speaker 7: Be right back. Welcome back, everybody. Email us as always,

1102
00:59:11,040 --> 00:59:13,440
Speaker 7: Freedom at Charlie Kirk dot com. Alex Marlow joins us,

1103
00:59:13,520 --> 00:59:16,680
Speaker 7: editor in chief of Breitbart News. Okay, this we want

1104
00:59:16,720 --> 00:59:18,560
Speaker 7: to we want to proceed with a lot of humility

1105
00:59:18,560 --> 00:59:21,160
Speaker 7: and caution. I do want to say though, that I

1106
00:59:21,200 --> 00:59:25,280
Speaker 7: have a great deal of relief that at least the

1107
00:59:25,320 --> 00:59:27,760
Speaker 7: attacks on Katar seem to have not killed any Americans.

1108
00:59:27,760 --> 00:59:30,320
Speaker 7: That is the most target rich of all the targets.

1109
00:59:30,640 --> 00:59:33,920
Speaker 7: It's the biggest base, it's geographically one of the closest,

1110
00:59:34,160 --> 00:59:37,320
Speaker 7: and if it's true that all those were intercepted, that

1111
00:59:37,400 --> 00:59:41,920
Speaker 7: would be a major, major victory. Uh CNN said that

1112
00:59:41,960 --> 00:59:45,120
Speaker 7: ten missiles were fired into Katar, one into a rock.

1113
00:59:45,400 --> 00:59:48,760
Speaker 7: And we will now stay live here and analyze in

1114
00:59:48,800 --> 00:59:52,400
Speaker 7: real time. Alex Marlow, what are we seeing potentially, Alex Marlow,

1115
00:59:52,480 --> 00:59:56,520
Speaker 7: looks like President Trump could walk away with one of

1116
00:59:56,560 --> 01:00:02,160
Speaker 7: the most remarkable US foreign policy victories if all continues

1117
01:00:02,200 --> 01:00:04,400
Speaker 7: as it is right now, which would be taking out

1118
01:00:04,400 --> 01:00:08,600
Speaker 7: the nuclear capability while also no US troops potentially being killed.

1119
01:00:08,640 --> 01:00:11,120
Speaker 7: Alex Marlow, again, I put a major asterist on that.

1120
01:00:12,040 --> 01:00:13,920
Speaker 19: Yeah, Charlie, what you're talking about with Blake earlier. I

1121
01:00:13,960 --> 01:00:15,760
Speaker 19: don't know if the whole radio audience got that. It's

1122
01:00:15,760 --> 01:00:17,840
Speaker 19: really important about what's happening with Guitar, because this is

1123
01:00:17,840 --> 01:00:19,920
Speaker 19: the point I wanted to make to you today, is

1124
01:00:19,960 --> 01:00:23,240
Speaker 19: that the coalitions here around the world. Trump has brought

1125
01:00:23,280 --> 01:00:27,200
Speaker 19: in a broader coalition on his side and on America's side.

1126
01:00:27,240 --> 01:00:30,280
Speaker 19: America is the alpha here absolutely, and I know there's

1127
01:00:30,320 --> 01:00:32,880
Speaker 19: some misconceptions about that, but Trump is playing this perfectly.

1128
01:00:32,960 --> 01:00:34,600
Speaker 19: And one of the things is Guitar was seen as

1129
01:00:34,640 --> 01:00:37,480
Speaker 19: averserial a few years ago. Now they're seen as largely

1130
01:00:37,520 --> 01:00:39,840
Speaker 19: cooperative and they want to get closer to us. Look

1131
01:00:39,880 --> 01:00:42,040
Speaker 19: what's happening on the other side with Iran right now.

1132
01:00:42,160 --> 01:00:45,360
Speaker 19: One of Iron's biggest backers Russia. Russia is trying everything

1133
01:00:45,360 --> 01:00:47,800
Speaker 19: they can not to help them. Why is this It's

1134
01:00:47,800 --> 01:00:49,800
Speaker 19: because of Trump and they don't want to cause any

1135
01:00:49,800 --> 01:00:51,120
Speaker 19: more problems with Trump right now.

1136
01:00:51,400 --> 01:00:52,280
Speaker 15: And this is a big deal.

1137
01:00:52,320 --> 01:00:54,680
Speaker 19: So who's going to come in on Iran's behalf on

1138
01:00:54,760 --> 01:00:59,360
Speaker 19: behalf of this unpopular regime, Probably no one. Maybe the Venezuelans,

1139
01:00:59,400 --> 01:01:01,640
Speaker 19: which is what are they going to do there? It's

1140
01:01:01,720 --> 01:01:05,240
Speaker 19: seriously the Finnish coalition imaginable, which is I think why

1141
01:01:05,320 --> 01:01:07,800
Speaker 19: Trump and Israel moved the way they've moved. But the

1142
01:01:07,920 --> 01:01:11,240
Speaker 19: guitar incident that you've highlighted, it's so crucial because it

1143
01:01:11,280 --> 01:01:13,760
Speaker 19: shows you the broadening coalition in the Middle East for

1144
01:01:13,840 --> 01:01:16,400
Speaker 19: a piece and against war that they think this is

1145
01:01:16,440 --> 01:01:19,000
Speaker 19: the quickest pass to path to a more peaceful region,

1146
01:01:19,160 --> 01:01:20,040
Speaker 19: as led by Trump.

1147
01:01:20,880 --> 01:01:22,840
Speaker 7: Two things. Number One, I'm going to give Aguila a

1148
01:01:22,880 --> 01:01:25,160
Speaker 7: shout out on telegram. The reporting has been actually very

1149
01:01:25,240 --> 01:01:27,520
Speaker 7: very good the last couple of days, and so thank

1150
01:01:27,560 --> 01:01:29,720
Speaker 7: you to Aguila on telegram. You guys can give them

1151
01:01:29,760 --> 01:01:33,240
Speaker 7: a follow. Secondly, Iran is now saying that they fired

1152
01:01:33,280 --> 01:01:35,760
Speaker 7: a missile at for every bomb that was dropped on us.

1153
01:01:37,120 --> 01:01:39,920
Speaker 7: This seems very theatrical. Like again, I don't want to

1154
01:01:40,000 --> 01:01:43,240
Speaker 7: lastingly say that, yeah they did. I do not want

1155
01:01:43,280 --> 01:01:45,720
Speaker 7: to laugh because Americans actually might be dead right now.

1156
01:01:45,720 --> 01:01:48,840
Speaker 7: We do not have the full casualty report, but I

1157
01:01:49,000 --> 01:01:52,040
Speaker 7: just want to just take a big sigh of relief.

1158
01:01:52,040 --> 01:01:54,920
Speaker 7: It looks like in Qatar, the most target rich of

1159
01:01:54,960 --> 01:01:56,760
Speaker 7: all the targets, the one that we were worried about

1160
01:01:56,760 --> 01:01:59,160
Speaker 7: the most, because they fired ten missiles at Qatar and

1161
01:01:59,200 --> 01:02:04,800
Speaker 7: one into a rock. That looks to be no casualties

1162
01:02:04,840 --> 01:02:06,800
Speaker 7: so far, and so we just want to kind of

1163
01:02:06,800 --> 01:02:08,760
Speaker 7: take a deep breath and say thank you Lord for

1164
01:02:08,760 --> 01:02:11,760
Speaker 7: protecting our US troops in Qatar, because that is the

1165
01:02:11,760 --> 01:02:15,360
Speaker 7: biggest US base in the entire region. And so Alex,

1166
01:02:15,440 --> 01:02:17,600
Speaker 7: what do you make of this? And Alex, I apologize

1167
01:02:17,600 --> 01:02:19,720
Speaker 7: I might interrupt you at any moment here because there's

1168
01:02:19,720 --> 01:02:23,600
Speaker 7: so much breaking news here. For example, the Iranian National

1169
01:02:23,600 --> 01:02:26,560
Speaker 7: Security Council stated at the missile strike on the American

1170
01:02:26,560 --> 01:02:29,440
Speaker 7: Aludebt base in Katar does not pose a threat to

1171
01:02:29,520 --> 01:02:32,919
Speaker 7: the brotherly nation of Qatar, whatever that means. Okay, So,

1172
01:02:33,240 --> 01:02:37,200
Speaker 7: but Alex, is it possible that Iran was just kind

1173
01:02:37,240 --> 01:02:41,480
Speaker 7: of doing international theater here check the box, kind of

1174
01:02:41,520 --> 01:02:45,480
Speaker 7: show their domestic strength while not trying to further provoke

1175
01:02:46,200 --> 01:02:50,800
Speaker 7: the American military might as I say that Baran has

1176
01:02:50,840 --> 01:02:53,080
Speaker 7: just urged all of its citizens the seek immediate shelter.

1177
01:02:53,200 --> 01:02:56,080
Speaker 7: But Alex Marlow comments on that, Yeah, they've.

1178
01:02:55,920 --> 01:02:59,280
Speaker 19: Taken a very aggressive rhetorical approach, and they're obviously trying

1179
01:02:59,280 --> 01:03:01,520
Speaker 19: to fight back with whatever they can. But their missile

1180
01:03:01,560 --> 01:03:04,200
Speaker 19: capabilities are drastically weakened, and they.

1181
01:03:04,120 --> 01:03:06,680
Speaker 15: Have almost no ability.

1182
01:03:06,120 --> 01:03:10,439
Speaker 19: To quickly generate more because Israel has targeted a lot

1183
01:03:10,440 --> 01:03:12,160
Speaker 19: of a lot of.

1184
01:03:12,080 --> 01:03:14,200
Speaker 15: The sites from where they fire the ballistic missiles.

1185
01:03:14,360 --> 01:03:16,320
Speaker 19: But also no nation wants to come in on their

1186
01:03:16,320 --> 01:03:19,600
Speaker 19: behalf because they're in a losing proposition. Now, what does

1187
01:03:19,600 --> 01:03:22,280
Speaker 19: the endgame look like, what does the full loss look like?

1188
01:03:22,440 --> 01:03:24,920
Speaker 19: Is their regime changes are all really compelling and mysterious

1189
01:03:25,000 --> 01:03:27,240
Speaker 19: questions at the moment, Charlie, But overall, we know Iran

1190
01:03:27,360 --> 01:03:29,080
Speaker 19: is losing and no one wants to come in in

1191
01:03:29,120 --> 01:03:31,320
Speaker 19: their behalf. Who would want to come in contra Donald

1192
01:03:31,320 --> 01:03:33,520
Speaker 19: Trump from the position of strength that he is not

1193
01:03:33,600 --> 01:03:36,439
Speaker 19: to mention, Israel has been very impressive in the war

1194
01:03:36,520 --> 01:03:39,200
Speaker 19: in terms of their ability to take out military targets

1195
01:03:39,480 --> 01:03:41,800
Speaker 19: and to come in on Iran's behalf is not going

1196
01:03:41,800 --> 01:03:43,919
Speaker 19: to happen. So I think they're desperately trying to get

1197
01:03:43,920 --> 01:03:46,440
Speaker 19: some level of momentum as fast as they can to

1198
01:03:46,480 --> 01:03:50,200
Speaker 19: maybe recruit some allies to their side, but it's probably

1199
01:03:50,200 --> 01:03:52,920
Speaker 19: not going to work. And because almost everything is getting

1200
01:03:53,560 --> 01:03:56,440
Speaker 19: the retaliatory strikes are just so devastating to them at

1201
01:03:56,440 --> 01:03:56,919
Speaker 19: every turn.

1202
01:03:57,280 --> 01:04:01,240
Speaker 7: Qatar has officially said no casualties, no damage from the attack,

1203
01:04:01,280 --> 01:04:03,520
Speaker 7: Praise the Lord. That's a big deal. Was that was

1204
01:04:03,560 --> 01:04:05,720
Speaker 7: the biggest threat of them all, But right now it's

1205
01:04:05,720 --> 01:04:08,960
Speaker 7: not over. Bahrain is that sirens are going off in

1206
01:04:09,000 --> 01:04:12,040
Speaker 7: Bahrain right now and they urge all citizens to seek

1207
01:04:12,080 --> 01:04:16,000
Speaker 7: immediate shelter. That is happening in Bahan right now. Iran's

1208
01:04:16,040 --> 01:04:19,920
Speaker 7: top security council tells Qatar it's attack poses no threat

1209
01:04:20,160 --> 01:04:23,480
Speaker 7: to its friendly and brotherly neighbors. So basically Iron is like, hey, Katar,

1210
01:04:23,560 --> 01:04:26,000
Speaker 7: we're your friend. So we're learning a lot about Qatar

1211
01:04:26,160 --> 01:04:28,360
Speaker 7: in the midst of all this, So let's just kind

1212
01:04:28,360 --> 01:04:30,680
Speaker 7: of kind of put a little bit of a we'll

1213
01:04:30,720 --> 01:04:32,760
Speaker 7: talk about yeah this.

1214
01:04:32,760 --> 01:04:33,720
Speaker 15: We're all quick studies.

1215
01:04:33,720 --> 01:04:37,480
Speaker 7: Now, we're all very quick study here, but Bahrain. We

1216
01:04:37,520 --> 01:04:39,320
Speaker 7: got to keep all eyes on Bahrain right now, all

1217
01:04:39,320 --> 01:04:41,880
Speaker 7: eyes on Bahrain. By the way, before, Blake, I want

1218
01:04:41,880 --> 01:04:43,320
Speaker 7: to throw to you for a second, everybody, I want

1219
01:04:43,320 --> 01:04:45,080
Speaker 7: to hear from you freedom at Charlie Kirk dot com.

1220
01:04:45,080 --> 01:04:47,400
Speaker 7: That is freedom at Charlie Kirk dot com. Iran has

1221
01:04:47,400 --> 01:04:49,960
Speaker 7: filed ten missiles at Katar, one in a rock, and

1222
01:04:50,000 --> 01:04:52,680
Speaker 7: it looks like something is happening towards Bahrain. By no

1223
01:04:52,760 --> 01:04:54,600
Speaker 7: means a military expert, but here's my rule when it

1224
01:04:54,640 --> 01:04:57,040
Speaker 7: comes on military things is if you, as an American

1225
01:04:57,120 --> 01:05:00,280
Speaker 7: citizen can't understand it, then they have not a good

1226
01:05:00,280 --> 01:05:02,880
Speaker 7: done a good enough job explaining it because it stuff's

1227
01:05:02,880 --> 01:05:05,360
Speaker 7: actually not as complicated. Would you agree, Blake, Like, oh,

1228
01:05:05,440 --> 01:05:07,640
Speaker 7: you know this is just for military minds. Actually, now

1229
01:05:07,680 --> 01:05:10,000
Speaker 7: you're a US citizen, you deserve a right to understand it.

1230
01:05:10,040 --> 01:05:12,520
Speaker 7: You're a stakeholder, this is your government. US base in

1231
01:05:12,560 --> 01:05:15,880
Speaker 7: Katar reports no casualties and minimal damage. Praise God. And

1232
01:05:15,920 --> 01:05:18,960
Speaker 7: now all eyes are on the Bahrain attack. The Iranian

1233
01:05:19,000 --> 01:05:21,040
Speaker 7: state TV is now trying to pound the chest. They're

1234
01:05:21,040 --> 01:05:23,360
Speaker 7: trying to get Oh, look at us, We responded back

1235
01:05:23,400 --> 01:05:27,320
Speaker 7: to all these Americans. Missiles launched at Bahrain, Qatar and Kuwait.

1236
01:05:27,440 --> 01:05:29,400
Speaker 7: Can we contrast this, for a second, blake with what

1237
01:05:29,440 --> 01:05:32,480
Speaker 7: they did with Israel. Israel, they actually wanted to kill Jews.

1238
01:05:32,520 --> 01:05:35,640
Speaker 7: That was not performative, that was real, that was aggressive.

1239
01:05:36,120 --> 01:05:38,440
Speaker 7: With America, it looks as if it's a little bit

1240
01:05:38,440 --> 01:05:40,280
Speaker 7: of a different of a calculation explained.

1241
01:05:40,320 --> 01:05:42,760
Speaker 6: Yeah, So first of all, they shot more missiles.

1242
01:05:43,240 --> 01:05:45,720
Speaker 18: Because Israel has the Iron Dome, they can shoot quite

1243
01:05:45,720 --> 01:05:48,800
Speaker 18: a few incoming projectiles down. So a lot of them

1244
01:05:48,840 --> 01:05:51,600
Speaker 18: got shot down, but some got through. They've hit a

1245
01:05:51,640 --> 01:05:54,040
Speaker 18: decent number of buildings. I think the total death toll

1246
01:05:54,120 --> 01:05:56,680
Speaker 18: is twenty four and really it could be higher, except

1247
01:05:56,840 --> 01:05:59,320
Speaker 18: Israel has prepared so much for this. They have bunkers

1248
01:05:59,600 --> 01:06:02,520
Speaker 18: forever everybody. They're very well drilled on how to avoid them.

1249
01:06:02,560 --> 01:06:04,920
Speaker 18: So you almost certainly have far more deaths if they

1250
01:06:04,960 --> 01:06:08,280
Speaker 18: were any less prepared. There have been major strikes in

1251
01:06:08,320 --> 01:06:13,000
Speaker 18: Tel Aviv with really big missiles, so that they were

1252
01:06:13,120 --> 01:06:14,440
Speaker 18: clearly actually going.

1253
01:06:14,240 --> 01:06:16,360
Speaker 6: For doing some damage. Uh.

1254
01:06:16,920 --> 01:06:21,080
Speaker 18: Yeah, this if we're stuck at eleven or twelve missiles

1255
01:06:21,120 --> 01:06:24,840
Speaker 18: largely intercepted, intercepted or the ones that landed did no

1256
01:06:25,000 --> 01:06:28,000
Speaker 18: damage and may not eveven have been seriously intending to

1257
01:06:28,080 --> 01:06:28,840
Speaker 18: do damage.

1258
01:06:29,280 --> 01:06:29,480
Speaker 7: Uh.

1259
01:06:29,520 --> 01:06:32,840
Speaker 18: And they're already, you know, proclaiming victory and saying, you know, Qatar,

1260
01:06:33,400 --> 01:06:34,720
Speaker 18: we're still buds with you.

1261
01:06:35,000 --> 01:06:36,000
Speaker 6: Don't worry about it.

1262
01:06:36,520 --> 01:06:41,360
Speaker 18: That that is a very positive signs the Woods.

1263
01:06:41,560 --> 01:06:44,360
Speaker 7: Yeah, please, Alex chime in really quick about it.

1264
01:06:45,560 --> 01:06:48,760
Speaker 19: Yes, we got we've got how many days it been

1265
01:06:48,840 --> 01:06:51,840
Speaker 19: since Trump's attack. It's been two days and this is

1266
01:06:51,840 --> 01:06:53,840
Speaker 19: all they got two days and this is it.

1267
01:06:54,000 --> 01:06:56,080
Speaker 7: Well, we don't want to, we don't want to overly not.

1268
01:06:56,160 --> 01:06:57,280
Speaker 15: It is not the show of force.

1269
01:06:57,600 --> 01:06:59,520
Speaker 7: No, I know. I agree. Again, we don't know. I

1270
01:06:59,560 --> 01:06:59,880
Speaker 7: get it.

1271
01:06:59,920 --> 01:07:03,920
Speaker 19: I'm just it's an observation. You take it into vacuum, Charlie.

1272
01:07:03,640 --> 01:07:06,160
Speaker 7: No, I agree. In Iraq, reports are being made of

1273
01:07:06,200 --> 01:07:09,360
Speaker 7: a drone attack against American air bases. Guys, Drones are

1274
01:07:09,440 --> 01:07:12,440
Speaker 7: much easier to shoot down than ballistic missiles. Just so

1275
01:07:12,440 --> 01:07:15,040
Speaker 7: we are clear. Okay, drones do not write Blake, I mean,

1276
01:07:15,120 --> 01:07:17,720
Speaker 7: drones do not move at hypersonic speeds. Now, drones should

1277
01:07:17,720 --> 01:07:20,959
Speaker 7: not be minimalized, but we have technology to shoot down drones.

1278
01:07:21,040 --> 01:07:23,680
Speaker 7: Let's just be very clear. Okay, email US as always

1279
01:07:23,680 --> 01:07:25,960
Speaker 7: Freedom at Charlie Kirk dot com. Again, there will be

1280
01:07:26,000 --> 01:07:28,000
Speaker 7: a time for a victory lap. I just want to say,

1281
01:07:28,280 --> 01:07:31,040
Speaker 7: if President Trump is able to come out of this

1282
01:07:31,360 --> 01:07:35,439
Speaker 7: with no US troops with a performative response, US troops

1283
01:07:35,480 --> 01:07:42,920
Speaker 7: died a performative response with incredible display of US military

1284
01:07:43,000 --> 01:07:46,520
Speaker 7: might against Fourdeaux and against Istaphon, against the Tans, this

1285
01:07:46,600 --> 01:07:48,760
Speaker 7: could be one of the most clear military victories that

1286
01:07:48,800 --> 01:07:51,000
Speaker 7: we've seen in quite some time. And by the way,

1287
01:07:51,080 --> 01:07:54,480
Speaker 7: keeping the entire Middle East coalition together, that would be

1288
01:07:54,560 --> 01:07:56,800
Speaker 7: another win for the Maga Doctrine. I literally wrote the

1289
01:07:56,800 --> 01:07:59,280
Speaker 7: book the Maga Doctrine a couple of years ago, and

1290
01:07:59,560 --> 01:08:02,600
Speaker 7: keeping all all these international and regional partners together. And

1291
01:08:02,640 --> 01:08:04,280
Speaker 7: we don't know what kind of drones these are, but

1292
01:08:04,560 --> 01:08:09,240
Speaker 7: it just seems right now. The indication so far is

1293
01:08:09,280 --> 01:08:12,640
Speaker 7: that this has been somewhat of a theatrical response on

1294
01:08:12,720 --> 01:08:15,400
Speaker 7: behalf of a run. I'm not saying ballistic missiles aren't real,

1295
01:08:15,680 --> 01:08:17,320
Speaker 7: but they kind of gave us a two to three

1296
01:08:17,320 --> 01:08:19,479
Speaker 7: hour heads up, which, by the way, shows that President

1297
01:08:19,479 --> 01:08:22,760
Speaker 7: Trump is winning here and they fear America and they

1298
01:08:22,840 --> 01:08:26,160
Speaker 7: want America to kind of back off, and everybody's kind

1299
01:08:26,160 --> 01:08:29,559
Speaker 7: of seeking an off ramp here right now, breaking news.

1300
01:08:29,640 --> 01:08:32,639
Speaker 7: US aircraft takes off from the Saudi Arabia air base.

1301
01:08:32,920 --> 01:08:34,720
Speaker 7: So we have air bases in Saudi Arabia. We had

1302
01:08:34,760 --> 01:08:37,040
Speaker 7: air bases, and Katari got air bases all over the place,

1303
01:08:37,439 --> 01:08:39,639
Speaker 7: and God bless our service members. Right now, what they're

1304
01:08:39,640 --> 01:08:42,080
Speaker 7: doing is they're flying at well how fast they fly

1305
01:08:42,080 --> 01:08:43,640
Speaker 7: eight hundred, nine hundred miles an hour. I mean they

1306
01:08:43,680 --> 01:08:46,200
Speaker 7: fly almost the speed of sound over that's over the

1307
01:08:46,200 --> 01:08:47,679
Speaker 7: speed of sound. They can break the speed of sound

1308
01:08:47,680 --> 01:08:49,559
Speaker 7: seven hundred. I can't remember the exactly, but about something.

1309
01:08:49,640 --> 01:08:52,519
Speaker 7: I mean, they're flying super fast across the Gulf trying

1310
01:08:52,520 --> 01:08:56,080
Speaker 7: to find these missiles, shoot disruptors and interrupters, and so

1311
01:08:56,160 --> 01:08:58,559
Speaker 7: far they've been doing a phenomenal job. So God bless

1312
01:08:58,600 --> 01:09:01,040
Speaker 7: our troops that are doing this right now. And President

1313
01:09:01,040 --> 01:09:03,479
Speaker 7: Donald Trump right now is in the situation room in

1314
01:09:03,520 --> 01:09:07,760
Speaker 7: front of him is potentially a major US victory, no

1315
01:09:07,880 --> 01:09:10,639
Speaker 7: regime change, no boots on the ground. You took out

1316
01:09:10,640 --> 01:09:13,120
Speaker 7: the nuclear program, you took out the nuclear capability. I

1317
01:09:13,160 --> 01:09:14,880
Speaker 7: should say it's actually a big difference, and you might

1318
01:09:14,920 --> 01:09:16,960
Speaker 7: be able to say no US troops died in response.

1319
01:09:17,520 --> 01:09:21,160
Speaker 7: What a triumph that President Trump very well might have

1320
01:09:21,200 --> 01:09:24,719
Speaker 7: been able to engineer. Email US freedom at charliekirk dot com,

1321
01:09:24,800 --> 01:09:28,400
Speaker 7: subscribe to the Charlie Kirkshow podcast page. Iran is just

1322
01:09:28,479 --> 01:09:30,680
Speaker 7: running their mouth. They said, we just launched a very

1323
01:09:30,680 --> 01:09:34,080
Speaker 7: devastating and powerful missile attack, but we should never trust anything.

1324
01:09:34,120 --> 01:09:36,680
Speaker 7: The Iranian social media ever says again, we'll be back

1325
01:09:36,760 --> 01:09:58,120
Speaker 7: in about ten seconds. Okay, we're back everybody. So we've

1326
01:09:58,120 --> 01:10:03,040
Speaker 7: got Alex Marlow with us saying this was devastating and powerful.

1327
01:10:03,040 --> 01:10:05,280
Speaker 7: It was devastating what President Trump did to you. Just

1328
01:10:05,360 --> 01:10:08,560
Speaker 7: for the record, I want to I want to just

1329
01:10:08,640 --> 01:10:11,400
Speaker 7: ask a question here really quick, Alex. If we are

1330
01:10:11,479 --> 01:10:14,400
Speaker 7: able to get this to a settlement to clare victory,

1331
01:10:14,400 --> 01:10:17,240
Speaker 7: which is legitimate, will this go a long way to

1332
01:10:17,280 --> 01:10:23,240
Speaker 7: making sure the MAGA coalition stays unified? Alex Marlin, Yeah, I.

1333
01:10:23,160 --> 01:10:25,519
Speaker 19: Think the timing of it for the MAGA coalition. Charlie

1334
01:10:25,520 --> 01:10:27,479
Speaker 19: it's high stakes. I know you've been hyper conscious of this,

1335
01:10:27,520 --> 01:10:29,920
Speaker 19: and it's really wise to be this way. This is

1336
01:10:29,960 --> 01:10:32,200
Speaker 19: one where if this is a clear decisive victory and

1337
01:10:32,240 --> 01:10:33,800
Speaker 19: it takes place in the next week or two, which

1338
01:10:33,800 --> 01:10:35,439
Speaker 19: I think that is exactly where we're on track, it

1339
01:10:35,439 --> 01:10:37,559
Speaker 19: could go wrong at any minute. You've been cautious about that,

1340
01:10:37,560 --> 01:10:39,960
Speaker 19: that's correct. But if this happens the next week or two,

1341
01:10:39,960 --> 01:10:43,080
Speaker 19: a clear decisive victory where you've got a situation where

1342
01:10:43,120 --> 01:10:45,000
Speaker 19: is real Nenya, who's been a fixture of public life

1343
01:10:45,000 --> 01:10:46,559
Speaker 19: for thirty years and his main goal has been a

1344
01:10:46,560 --> 01:10:47,599
Speaker 19: protected is real from Iran.

1345
01:10:47,680 --> 01:10:48,679
Speaker 15: That's been a state admission.

1346
01:10:49,000 --> 01:10:52,360
Speaker 19: And Iran has done numerous devastating things to America, including

1347
01:10:52,400 --> 01:10:55,400
Speaker 19: shooting at our Navy fighters with the hoo Thies, etc.

1348
01:10:55,920 --> 01:10:58,240
Speaker 19: Funding all sorts of terar proxies all around the world,

1349
01:10:58,360 --> 01:10:59,960
Speaker 19: and pursuing the destruction of America.

1350
01:11:00,120 --> 01:11:00,920
Speaker 15: They would love to do it.

1351
01:11:01,479 --> 01:11:04,679
Speaker 19: If Trump could devastate their nuclear facilities the way he's

1352
01:11:04,680 --> 01:11:08,400
Speaker 19: done apparently what we've been told, and he can pull

1353
01:11:08,439 --> 01:11:11,519
Speaker 19: out of the region without American casualties, without any forver wars,

1354
01:11:11,560 --> 01:11:14,240
Speaker 19: without any ground troops going in, I think he could

1355
01:11:14,240 --> 01:11:17,960
Speaker 19: reassure the entire magabase that this is the way forward,

1356
01:11:18,120 --> 01:11:19,840
Speaker 19: This is the piece through strength approach.

1357
01:11:19,920 --> 01:11:21,479
Speaker 15: This is what America First is all about.

1358
01:11:21,880 --> 01:11:24,080
Speaker 19: There are many places where things can get fractured along

1359
01:11:24,120 --> 01:11:26,920
Speaker 19: the way, but if that happens clearly and decisively, I

1360
01:11:26,960 --> 01:11:29,160
Speaker 19: think he's going to start restoring trust in a lot

1361
01:11:29,160 --> 01:11:31,439
Speaker 19: of Americans who do not trust our leadership in our government,

1362
01:11:31,640 --> 01:11:33,559
Speaker 19: and it could be a huge moment for the future

1363
01:11:33,560 --> 01:11:34,040
Speaker 19: of the country.

1364
01:11:35,400 --> 01:11:39,080
Speaker 7: Very quick, Blake, just from a looks like some of

1365
01:11:39,080 --> 01:11:41,240
Speaker 7: the jets are now returning. It seems as if the

1366
01:11:41,280 --> 01:11:44,720
Speaker 7: attack is simmering down. There could have been one impact

1367
01:11:44,760 --> 01:11:46,920
Speaker 7: in a rock al Asad air base, So we want

1368
01:11:46,920 --> 01:11:48,839
Speaker 7: to have a caveat on this. We don't know Americans

1369
01:11:48,840 --> 01:11:51,040
Speaker 7: could have died, and so we don't want to have

1370
01:11:51,160 --> 01:11:54,360
Speaker 7: a preemptive celebration. But what are we reading and seeing, Blake,

1371
01:11:54,439 --> 01:11:55,120
Speaker 7: Very quickly.

1372
01:11:55,080 --> 01:11:57,719
Speaker 18: I mean it's looking like now we're seeing reports that,

1373
01:11:58,080 --> 01:12:03,680
Speaker 18: you know, if anything, saying stakes are going down, Like

1374
01:12:03,680 --> 01:12:07,160
Speaker 18: they're not freaking out as much, they're dialing back their concern.

1375
01:12:07,439 --> 01:12:09,719
Speaker 18: We don't have we haven't had new reports of additional

1376
01:12:09,720 --> 01:12:11,920
Speaker 18: missiles coming in, and I feel like if this was

1377
01:12:12,000 --> 01:12:15,280
Speaker 18: going to get worse, it's basically early in the evening there,

1378
01:12:15,640 --> 01:12:17,640
Speaker 18: so in theory, this could be the opening wave and

1379
01:12:17,680 --> 01:12:20,680
Speaker 18: you could see more stuff launched over the course of

1380
01:12:20,720 --> 01:12:22,479
Speaker 18: the night. They have many hours to do that before

1381
01:12:22,560 --> 01:12:26,479
Speaker 18: daylight arrives. But so far it seems it might really

1382
01:12:26,520 --> 01:12:28,320
Speaker 18: just be one volley of missiles.

1383
01:12:28,360 --> 01:12:29,519
Speaker 6: Declare victory, Go home.

1384
01:12:29,600 --> 01:12:31,599
Speaker 7: I want to say thank you to Real America's Voice

1385
01:12:31,600 --> 01:12:33,519
Speaker 7: for blowing through the brakes. You guys should download the

1386
01:12:33,560 --> 01:12:36,479
Speaker 7: Real America's Voice app. We are live every single day,

1387
01:12:37,080 --> 01:12:39,519
Speaker 7: so as Bannon and pastobics, So download the Real America's

1388
01:12:39,600 --> 01:12:43,200
Speaker 7: Voice app for our show every single day. Okay, So

1389
01:12:43,600 --> 01:12:44,680
Speaker 7: let me just kind of go to some of these

1390
01:12:44,720 --> 01:12:47,080
Speaker 7: reports here. It seems like there was a lot of

1391
01:12:47,280 --> 01:12:52,000
Speaker 7: talk from Iran. This seems to be largely a theatrical show.

1392
01:12:52,680 --> 01:12:54,439
Speaker 7: A lot of the parties. It seems like new the

1393
01:12:54,439 --> 01:12:57,559
Speaker 7: plot and the outcome in advance. This was permitted largely

1394
01:12:58,040 --> 01:13:03,559
Speaker 7: to allow Iranians as a way to save face. So Alex,

1395
01:13:03,600 --> 01:13:07,320
Speaker 7: do we still have you here? Alex, we have you?

1396
01:13:07,520 --> 01:13:09,599
Speaker 15: Yeah, Yeah, I hit meet, I'm here again.

1397
01:13:09,840 --> 01:13:13,240
Speaker 7: If that ends up being true and no Americans being killed,

1398
01:13:13,320 --> 01:13:17,519
Speaker 7: it is now an incredible victory and we shouldn't have

1399
01:13:17,680 --> 01:13:19,559
Speaker 7: any focus on regime change or any that. But we

1400
01:13:19,560 --> 01:13:23,880
Speaker 7: can now reconfigure our intent on the American homeland, on

1401
01:13:24,000 --> 01:13:27,599
Speaker 7: deportations on the border. Again, we're looking at this right now.

1402
01:13:28,800 --> 01:13:31,120
Speaker 7: Israeli jets are now moving into strike a run. Okay,

1403
01:13:31,160 --> 01:13:34,840
Speaker 7: that's a whole separate dynamic here. But the America. Is

1404
01:13:34,880 --> 01:13:38,400
Speaker 7: it possible the American chapter of this might actually be closed.

1405
01:13:39,320 --> 01:13:41,840
Speaker 19: Yeah, it's possible, and I think the most likely and

1406
01:13:41,960 --> 01:13:45,240
Speaker 19: most favorable scenario. Again, there's so many caveats I can

1407
01:13:45,280 --> 01:13:47,160
Speaker 19: add to this, but you guys will see where I'm

1408
01:13:47,160 --> 01:13:50,080
Speaker 19: going with this. Israel will continue to pummel a round

1409
01:13:50,080 --> 01:13:52,680
Speaker 19: for the next week or two, continue to devastate them

1410
01:13:52,720 --> 01:13:55,160
Speaker 19: because they do not have any aerial defense right now,

1411
01:13:55,400 --> 01:13:56,759
Speaker 19: and Israel's going to take advantage.

1412
01:13:56,880 --> 01:13:58,160
Speaker 15: America should do nothing else.

1413
01:13:58,439 --> 01:14:00,719
Speaker 19: Both sides have said they want this war to and quickly,

1414
01:14:01,200 --> 01:14:03,040
Speaker 19: and we cannot be involved in any sort of regime

1415
01:14:03,120 --> 01:14:05,320
Speaker 19: change because regime change will go on and on and on.

1416
01:14:05,560 --> 01:14:06,320
Speaker 15: There's gonna be a lot.

1417
01:14:06,200 --> 01:14:07,720
Speaker 19: Of people are going to try to tempt us into

1418
01:14:07,720 --> 01:14:10,439
Speaker 19: some sort of regime change. That is not our final

1419
01:14:10,720 --> 01:14:12,280
Speaker 19: that is not our fight, that's not our battle. We

1420
01:14:12,320 --> 01:14:15,320
Speaker 19: cannot kill. We cannot engage in it because we stay

1421
01:14:15,400 --> 01:14:15,800
Speaker 19: right there.

1422
01:14:21,200 --> 01:14:23,760
Speaker 7: The next great awakening is here.

1423
01:14:24,720 --> 01:14:26,760
Speaker 1: Welcome back to the Charlie Kirk Show.

1424
01:14:27,720 --> 01:14:30,200
Speaker 7: Okay, everybody, welcome back. Sorry, Alex, we cut you off there,

1425
01:14:30,400 --> 01:14:31,920
Speaker 7: but Alex, I'll throw it back to you in a second.

1426
01:14:31,960 --> 01:14:32,280
Speaker 1: Problem.

1427
01:14:32,360 --> 01:14:35,840
Speaker 7: Let me just read here. Qatar's defense systems intercepted nine

1428
01:14:35,920 --> 01:14:39,120
Speaker 7: out of ten missiles launched by Iran, with one missile

1429
01:14:39,240 --> 01:14:42,840
Speaker 7: landing in an open area. And so it looks like

1430
01:14:42,880 --> 01:14:45,480
Speaker 7: all the missiles to Qatar, nine out of ten were intercepted.

1431
01:14:45,680 --> 01:14:47,080
Speaker 7: This is what happens when you kind of give a

1432
01:14:47,120 --> 01:14:49,080
Speaker 7: little bit of like an hour to two hour, Hey,

1433
01:14:49,080 --> 01:14:52,600
Speaker 7: we're going to attack. We're going to attack, Alex. What

1434
01:14:52,640 --> 01:14:55,519
Speaker 7: does this say for the Supreme Leader? It seems that

1435
01:14:55,600 --> 01:14:57,880
Speaker 7: the head of Iran did not want to see an

1436
01:14:57,960 --> 01:15:01,320
Speaker 7: escalation with America. They did not they truly fear President

1437
01:15:01,320 --> 01:15:04,200
Speaker 7: Trump as they should. So President Trump's words now have

1438
01:15:04,320 --> 01:15:07,240
Speaker 7: real meaning for what he did in four Dho Could

1439
01:15:07,280 --> 01:15:09,519
Speaker 7: it be so that President Trump just set an entire

1440
01:15:10,120 --> 01:15:11,880
Speaker 7: message for the rest of the world that you better

1441
01:15:11,960 --> 01:15:13,599
Speaker 7: listen when I talk.

1442
01:15:16,000 --> 01:15:18,160
Speaker 19: Yeah, I think Charlie and I called this last week

1443
01:15:18,200 --> 01:15:19,840
Speaker 19: on your show. We talked about this exact thing is

1444
01:15:19,840 --> 01:15:22,840
Speaker 19: that Trump's word matters. It always has, and he's always

1445
01:15:22,840 --> 01:15:24,200
Speaker 19: said that they are not gonna be allowed to have

1446
01:15:24,320 --> 01:15:26,719
Speaker 19: nuclear capabilities. He's been saying this for decade and a half,

1447
01:15:27,040 --> 01:15:29,120
Speaker 19: So obviously, if they're going to continue to flaunt him

1448
01:15:29,120 --> 01:15:31,639
Speaker 19: when he's in a position of deep power and they've

1449
01:15:31,640 --> 01:15:34,800
Speaker 19: been in very much weakend by Israeli strikes over the

1450
01:15:34,880 --> 01:15:37,000
Speaker 19: last few weeks, of course this was going to be

1451
01:15:37,040 --> 01:15:38,600
Speaker 19: something that Trump was gonna do. He said he was

1452
01:15:38,600 --> 01:15:41,400
Speaker 19: going to wait two weeks, typical unpredictable Trump fashion. He

1453
01:15:41,439 --> 01:15:44,120
Speaker 19: only waited a couple of days, dropped some devastating attacks,

1454
01:15:44,160 --> 01:15:46,960
Speaker 19: and now he's out and the American public is on

1455
01:15:47,120 --> 01:15:49,960
Speaker 19: the side of aerial defense. They're not on the side

1456
01:15:49,960 --> 01:15:52,040
Speaker 19: of regime change. And my prediction is Trump will stick

1457
01:15:52,080 --> 01:15:52,280
Speaker 19: with that.

1458
01:15:53,040 --> 01:15:55,519
Speaker 7: Alex stay right there, Blake, I'm gonna throw to you

1459
01:15:55,560 --> 01:15:58,760
Speaker 7: for a second. We do not know the extent of

1460
01:15:58,800 --> 01:16:01,840
Speaker 7: the attack at a rock. The Bahrain sirens are still

1461
01:16:01,840 --> 01:16:05,000
Speaker 7: going off, so there could be an attack on Brain.

1462
01:16:05,080 --> 01:16:08,120
Speaker 7: Let's get the map back up here. Bahrain has closed

1463
01:16:08,120 --> 01:16:11,400
Speaker 7: its airspace, so it might we are now seeing potentially

1464
01:16:11,479 --> 01:16:16,639
Speaker 7: another volley towards Bahrain Bahrain is a very small country.

1465
01:16:16,920 --> 01:16:18,960
Speaker 7: I can't This map is not helpful at all. But

1466
01:16:19,200 --> 01:16:20,080
Speaker 7: you see Saudi Arabia.

1467
01:16:20,080 --> 01:16:22,759
Speaker 6: They're super tiny, yes, but Saudi two clusters.

1468
01:16:22,800 --> 01:16:24,920
Speaker 7: The two clusters on the eastern part of Saudi Arabia.

1469
01:16:25,080 --> 01:16:28,400
Speaker 7: The southernmost one is the Qatari, the northern one is Bahrain.

1470
01:16:28,520 --> 01:16:28,920
Speaker 6: Exactly.

1471
01:16:29,160 --> 01:16:32,240
Speaker 18: It's literally like the icons they're using on that are

1472
01:16:32,320 --> 01:16:35,840
Speaker 18: like larger than Bahrain. It's a tiny island. I doubt

1473
01:16:35,840 --> 01:16:38,360
Speaker 18: it's that much larger even than like.

1474
01:16:38,439 --> 01:16:40,960
Speaker 7: So I'm curious. Some people are emailing us saying, Charlie,

1475
01:16:41,000 --> 01:16:43,080
Speaker 7: even though they didn't kill any Americans, they want to

1476
01:16:43,080 --> 01:16:46,000
Speaker 7: see a huge response from America. Is that your position,

1477
01:16:46,040 --> 01:16:48,519
Speaker 7: Freedom at Charliekirk dot com. Should we now escalate this

1478
01:16:48,600 --> 01:16:51,200
Speaker 7: if no Americans die? I don't know if that's my position.

1479
01:16:51,200 --> 01:16:53,400
Speaker 7: I think President Trump could take a massive victory here,

1480
01:16:53,600 --> 01:16:57,080
Speaker 7: which is that we bomb them hard, no Americans died,

1481
01:16:57,680 --> 01:17:00,240
Speaker 7: and that's it, no regime change, no boots on the ground.

1482
01:17:00,400 --> 01:17:02,880
Speaker 7: By the way, this is factored in was a this

1483
01:17:03,080 --> 01:17:06,599
Speaker 7: was a expected, you know response. By the way, we

1484
01:17:06,680 --> 01:17:10,040
Speaker 7: know that Iran probably wanted an exit ramp. Take the win.

1485
01:17:10,160 --> 01:17:12,840
Speaker 7: That's my position. Email us Freedom at Charliekirk dot com.

1486
01:17:12,880 --> 01:17:15,679
Speaker 7: Three different media outlets are now reporting no interest in injuries,

1487
01:17:15,800 --> 01:17:19,599
Speaker 7: not even injury, let alone a death. Praise the Lord again.

1488
01:17:19,640 --> 01:17:22,439
Speaker 7: This is the Maga doctrine. This is the Trump doctrine. Force,

1489
01:17:23,120 --> 01:17:26,479
Speaker 7: exert the force, use it, be unapologetic in the use

1490
01:17:26,520 --> 01:17:34,080
Speaker 7: of it. Limited, decisive, aggressive, violent, prudent action. Blake, let's

1491
01:17:34,160 --> 01:17:37,439
Speaker 7: kind of go through the dynamics here. Why would we

1492
01:17:38,840 --> 01:17:42,200
Speaker 7: not respond even though that they sent missiles towards us

1493
01:17:42,200 --> 01:17:44,120
Speaker 7: and no one does, Why should we take the win here?

1494
01:17:44,320 --> 01:17:44,519
Speaker 4: Well?

1495
01:17:44,560 --> 01:17:47,120
Speaker 18: Because when you think about, like, what were we what

1496
01:17:47,160 --> 01:17:49,280
Speaker 18: are we hoping to get done here? The reason we

1497
01:17:49,320 --> 01:17:52,120
Speaker 18: got involved is hopefully to do as much damage to

1498
01:17:52,320 --> 01:17:55,439
Speaker 18: Iran's nuclear program as possible, because that was what Trump's

1499
01:17:55,439 --> 01:17:57,840
Speaker 18: goal was. He says Iran will not get a nuclear weapon.

1500
01:17:58,160 --> 01:18:00,840
Speaker 18: And when we think what are the bad outcomes that

1501
01:18:00,880 --> 01:18:03,599
Speaker 18: could happen here? The bad outcome is we get sucked

1502
01:18:03,600 --> 01:18:07,840
Speaker 18: into some sort of cycle of constant strike and retaliation

1503
01:18:08,000 --> 01:18:10,760
Speaker 18: and strike back. It'd be a huge failure case if

1504
01:18:10,760 --> 01:18:12,800
Speaker 18: we end up with boots on the ground. And how

1505
01:18:12,800 --> 01:18:14,400
Speaker 18: do you end up in a situation with boots on

1506
01:18:14,439 --> 01:18:16,439
Speaker 18: the ground. Even if you say you don't if you're

1507
01:18:16,439 --> 01:18:19,320
Speaker 18: constantly having these strikes go back and forth, if oh,

1508
01:18:19,400 --> 01:18:22,360
Speaker 18: we need to get back at them for something they did,

1509
01:18:22,800 --> 01:18:25,880
Speaker 18: and if this strike did in fact have no casualties,

1510
01:18:26,200 --> 01:18:28,800
Speaker 18: we kind of have the perfect excuse to go all right.

1511
01:18:29,120 --> 01:18:32,160
Speaker 18: They made their response and it was totally impotent. We

1512
01:18:32,520 --> 01:18:34,479
Speaker 18: clearly don't even need to worry about what they have

1513
01:18:34,560 --> 01:18:37,759
Speaker 18: to shoot at us other than their nuclear program, which

1514
01:18:37,960 --> 01:18:39,800
Speaker 18: we just hit and did a bunch of damage to.

1515
01:18:40,320 --> 01:18:42,479
Speaker 18: It perfectly works out for us to be able to

1516
01:18:42,520 --> 01:18:45,080
Speaker 18: say we win, we take our ball, we go home.

1517
01:18:45,479 --> 01:18:47,960
Speaker 7: No impacts at the alue Dead Air base in Qatar,

1518
01:18:49,000 --> 01:18:51,640
Speaker 7: and so that is from every source that we have

Speaker 7: I want to talk about the politics of what's happening

1528
01:19:09,040 --> 01:19:12,080
Speaker 7: with all this, But potentially it looks like this could

1529
01:19:12,080 --> 01:19:15,080
Speaker 7: be a end of this chapter, God Willing, what do

1530
01:19:15,080 --> 01:19:16,200
Speaker 7: you think Mike's aer image.

1531
01:19:17,360 --> 01:19:20,720
Speaker 20: Well, there is the risk of escalation, that's the course.

1532
01:19:20,760 --> 01:19:24,599
Speaker 20: The problem is the table's being set for massive attacks

1533
01:19:24,600 --> 01:19:27,360
Speaker 20: that can be blamed on Iran. The table is being

1534
01:19:27,400 --> 01:19:30,439
Speaker 20: set for Iran to a tolerate. Although I don't think

1535
01:19:30,439 --> 01:19:33,000
Speaker 20: that they're going to. I think that the leadership in

1536
01:19:33,040 --> 01:19:36,320
Speaker 20: Iran is way too afraid of the people uprising. But

1537
01:19:36,920 --> 01:19:38,800
Speaker 20: the optives of the time of the attack, I think

1538
01:19:38,840 --> 01:19:41,880
Speaker 20: are the biggest concern I have. I don't think that

1539
01:19:41,880 --> 01:19:44,040
Speaker 20: we're anywhere near World War iie. And that's all kind

1540
01:19:44,080 --> 01:19:48,080
Speaker 20: of panic in fear mongering by the usual suspects. But

1541
01:19:49,000 --> 01:19:51,479
Speaker 20: the way this point down looks really bad, and it

1542
01:19:51,479 --> 01:19:53,680
Speaker 20: looks weak in fact too. A lot of people who

1543
01:19:53,760 --> 01:19:56,160
Speaker 20: turned out to vote for the first time this past

1544
01:19:56,200 --> 01:19:57,719
Speaker 20: election in twenty twenty four.

Speaker 7: email us Freedom at Charlie Kirk dot com. Where we

1548
01:20:25,600 --> 01:20:28,759
Speaker 7: are looking at this live so right now? Or Iran

1549
01:20:28,880 --> 01:20:32,839
Speaker 7: coordinated attacks on the US airbase in Qatar, with Katari

1550
01:20:32,840 --> 01:20:36,120
Speaker 7: officials providing advanced notice to minimize casualties, that is the

1551
01:20:36,120 --> 01:20:40,120
Speaker 7: New York Times, and so Iran has responded, and they

1552
01:20:40,160 --> 01:20:42,640
Speaker 7: responded with eleven ballistic missiles in the middle in the

1553
01:20:42,680 --> 01:20:45,960
Speaker 7: Mid East. No American troops seem to have died so far,

1554
01:20:46,160 --> 01:20:49,639
Speaker 7: God Willing. New York Times is reporting, though that Iran

1555
01:20:49,720 --> 01:20:54,680
Speaker 7: coordinated the American air base attack. Condatis be theatrical and performative.

1556
01:20:54,720 --> 01:20:57,599
Speaker 7: Iran appears to coordinate response as to what not dragged

1557
01:20:57,600 --> 01:20:59,599
Speaker 7: the United States more directly into the fight. What does

1558
01:20:59,640 --> 01:21:00,400
Speaker 7: that mean, Bake?

1559
01:21:00,520 --> 01:21:03,000
Speaker 18: I mean it almost makes this sound like pro wrestling

1560
01:21:03,080 --> 01:21:06,080
Speaker 18: or something like. You know, if you ever watch it,

1561
01:21:06,120 --> 01:21:08,200
Speaker 18: they have the whole like, you know, throw the punch,

1562
01:21:08,240 --> 01:21:10,080
Speaker 18: but the guy's ready for it and like pulls his

1563
01:21:10,080 --> 01:21:12,720
Speaker 18: head back. It's like, Oh, we're going to strike at

1564
01:21:12,760 --> 01:21:16,120
Speaker 18: you guys to show we're serious, but we're gonna announce

1565
01:21:16,160 --> 01:21:19,160
Speaker 18: it in advance. You're gonna see everything coming and it's gonna

1566
01:21:19,160 --> 01:21:20,400
Speaker 18: be aimed really badly.

1567
01:21:20,880 --> 01:21:22,960
Speaker 6: And yeah, then nobody dies.

1568
01:21:23,000 --> 01:21:24,760
Speaker 18: That is, if this is where we're able to get

1569
01:21:24,800 --> 01:21:27,800
Speaker 18: an off ramp, it is a gigantic win for the

1570
01:21:27,880 --> 01:21:30,559
Speaker 18: United States, and I suppose a gigantic win for President

1571
01:21:30,600 --> 01:21:31,320
Speaker 18: Trump's judgment.

1572
01:21:31,560 --> 01:21:34,360
Speaker 7: Yeah, if we are able to navigate it, and if

1573
01:21:34,360 --> 01:21:36,639
Speaker 7: we're able to kind of go thig it so bigt Yes,

1574
01:21:36,800 --> 01:21:39,599
Speaker 7: So so Mike, We're gonna continue with Mike's Sernovia here. So, Mike,

1575
01:21:39,720 --> 01:21:43,600
Speaker 7: Iran has just launched eleven ballistic missiles kind of the

1576
01:21:43,800 --> 01:21:46,280
Speaker 7: basically all intercept that it looks like no US troops

1577
01:21:46,320 --> 01:21:49,439
Speaker 7: died in response, Iran seems to try to just want

1578
01:21:49,439 --> 01:21:53,800
Speaker 7: to lower the temperature. Here, Iran's top security body says

1579
01:21:53,840 --> 01:21:56,559
Speaker 7: that they dropped as many bombs that the US had

1580
01:21:56,680 --> 01:21:59,040
Speaker 7: used in the attack on the Iranian nuclear facilities. This

1581
01:21:59,120 --> 01:22:03,120
Speaker 7: kind seems very thieatrical and performative. It's a big if.

1582
01:22:03,479 --> 01:22:05,280
Speaker 7: But if then we are able to get to a

1583
01:22:05,320 --> 01:22:08,760
Speaker 7: closure of the chapter here in the Israel, in the

1584
01:22:08,800 --> 01:22:13,080
Speaker 7: American involvement here, what would that? What would that mean?

1585
01:22:13,120 --> 01:22:16,760
Speaker 7: And should America strike back now that Iran hit some

1586
01:22:16,880 --> 01:22:17,599
Speaker 7: of our bases.

1587
01:22:18,800 --> 01:22:20,439
Speaker 15: Yeah, there are two issues going on.

1588
01:22:20,479 --> 01:22:23,160
Speaker 20: There was one the World War three fear mongering, which

1589
01:22:23,200 --> 01:22:25,759
Speaker 20: I always said was kind of silly. And when Trumpet

1590
01:22:26,160 --> 01:22:28,720
Speaker 20: killed so many I actually had supported that at the time,

1591
01:22:28,760 --> 01:22:30,880
Speaker 20: And people are saying, well, how can you support the

1592
01:22:31,000 --> 01:22:34,599
Speaker 20: Somani show for US versus this The issue that concerns

1593
01:22:34,640 --> 01:22:36,800
Speaker 20: me is twenty twenty four was a popular vote when

1594
01:22:37,400 --> 01:22:40,240
Speaker 20: against all odds, it was a maja coalition. It was

1595
01:22:40,600 --> 01:22:43,479
Speaker 20: a bunch of libertarians who sometimes can be a little

1596
01:22:43,479 --> 01:22:45,479
Speaker 20: bit silly. I'll be the first to admit it was

1597
01:22:45,520 --> 01:22:47,720
Speaker 20: a lot of younger men under thirty who were not

1598
01:22:47,760 --> 01:22:51,240
Speaker 20: politically engaged all before the election. Everybody kind of turns

1599
01:22:51,280 --> 01:22:55,760
Speaker 20: out and the timing of all of this looks really bad,

1600
01:22:55,760 --> 01:22:58,439
Speaker 20: and it actually made Trump look weak, especially in men

1601
01:22:58,479 --> 01:23:01,280
Speaker 20: and the thirty. The circles that I read and keep

1602
01:23:01,320 --> 01:23:03,599
Speaker 20: tabs on due to my other business interests and other

1603
01:23:03,600 --> 01:23:06,280
Speaker 20: things that have going on, have been about ninety percent

1604
01:23:06,640 --> 01:23:10,880
Speaker 20: against what Trump did. So the issue is that the

1605
01:23:11,439 --> 01:23:14,240
Speaker 20: let's say Trump had accomplished it a mesic agenda. It's

1606
01:23:14,280 --> 01:23:17,879
Speaker 20: a year from now, economy is good, massive deportations have happened,

1607
01:23:18,200 --> 01:23:20,200
Speaker 20: and Trump out of blue decided that he wanted to

1608
01:23:20,320 --> 01:23:23,800
Speaker 20: bomb Iran's nuclear facilities. I would not have had a

1609
01:23:23,840 --> 01:23:26,040
Speaker 20: problem with that. In fact, I might have thought, as

1610
01:23:26,120 --> 01:23:28,200
Speaker 20: in the case of the Solemni thing, I might have

1611
01:23:28,240 --> 01:23:30,040
Speaker 20: thought that that was a good reminder to the rest

1612
01:23:30,080 --> 01:23:33,000
Speaker 20: of the world. But the way this went down and

1613
01:23:33,200 --> 01:23:34,920
Speaker 20: it looked like Trump was trying to do a deal

1614
01:23:34,920 --> 01:23:37,880
Speaker 20: with Iran, wick Koff was being bashed as an agent

1615
01:23:37,920 --> 01:23:42,719
Speaker 20: of Qatar. A number of people who were against mass regime,

1616
01:23:42,800 --> 01:23:46,320
Speaker 20: James Wards were false accuses of leaking people, they're getting fired.

1617
01:23:46,360 --> 01:23:50,120
Speaker 20: There's all these attacks and snipes happening from against American

1618
01:23:50,160 --> 01:23:53,519
Speaker 20: first people. And then next thing you know, that looks

1619
01:23:53,560 --> 01:23:56,320
Speaker 20: like there's a deal, then Israel starts bombing Iran.

1620
01:23:56,560 --> 01:23:58,160
Speaker 7: So I got to interrupt, you got it. So, but

1621
01:23:58,200 --> 01:24:01,160
Speaker 7: Trump is saying no intention of retali against Iran after

1622
01:24:01,200 --> 01:24:05,280
Speaker 7: it's failed retaliation attempt, and so just let's just kind

1623
01:24:05,280 --> 01:24:07,320
Speaker 7: of look at it right now. If then this is

1624
01:24:07,320 --> 01:24:10,080
Speaker 7: the end of that chapter, is it possible then to

1625
01:24:10,160 --> 01:24:13,400
Speaker 7: keep the coalition together, bring everybody back. If now the

1626
01:24:13,479 --> 01:24:15,400
Speaker 7: United States will not respond to a run.

1627
01:24:16,320 --> 01:24:19,679
Speaker 20: For US for high information voters, for high information voters,

1628
01:24:19,680 --> 01:24:23,560
Speaker 20: nothing has happened that I find particularly interesting or distressing.

1629
01:24:24,040 --> 01:24:27,000
Speaker 20: The issue is this the new coalition, the people who

1630
01:24:27,040 --> 01:24:30,360
Speaker 20: hadn't voted for before, who aren't high information voters, and

1631
01:24:30,400 --> 01:24:32,120
Speaker 20: they just look at the timing of how things went

1632
01:24:32,200 --> 01:24:37,040
Speaker 20: down and they're forming bad conclusions about Trump. That's the

1633
01:24:37,120 --> 01:24:38,720
Speaker 20: issue that I'm concerned with.

1634
01:24:38,720 --> 01:24:40,360
Speaker 15: This World War restuff I thought was silly.

1635
01:24:40,360 --> 01:24:42,400
Speaker 20: The Mulaws are going to do what, try to wage

1636
01:24:42,439 --> 01:24:44,599
Speaker 20: war against America when their own people want to rise

1637
01:24:44,680 --> 01:24:46,840
Speaker 20: up against them, that they don't care about any of them,

1638
01:24:47,040 --> 01:24:49,439
Speaker 20: things like that. They're like the Hamas leadership in Qatar.

1639
01:24:49,520 --> 01:24:50,960
Speaker 20: They just want to have money.

1640
01:24:51,479 --> 01:24:54,800
Speaker 7: Let me play devil's advocate. I think is so, and

1641
01:24:54,960 --> 01:24:56,880
Speaker 7: I hear what you're saying. But if the President is

1642
01:24:56,920 --> 01:24:59,160
Speaker 7: able to say, hey, I struck, we took out nukes

1643
01:24:59,439 --> 01:25:02,719
Speaker 7: and then I not a single US troop guide, isn't

1644
01:25:02,760 --> 01:25:06,519
Speaker 7: that a positive telling of what was kind of trending

1645
01:25:06,520 --> 01:25:08,920
Speaker 7: in the wrong direction online this weekend? Do you think

1646
01:25:09,000 --> 01:25:12,080
Speaker 7: that narrative could stick far better than where we were

1647
01:25:12,120 --> 01:25:13,639
Speaker 7: maybe thirty six hours.

1648
01:25:13,439 --> 01:25:18,240
Speaker 20: Ago, not to the not to a large segment of

1649
01:25:18,280 --> 01:25:21,759
Speaker 20: first time voters. No, that's that's like again. The concern

1650
01:25:22,400 --> 01:25:26,519
Speaker 20: is to us again, to people who follow that politics closely.

1651
01:25:27,160 --> 01:25:30,320
Speaker 20: None of this is particularly surprising or even concerning. I'm

1652
01:25:30,360 --> 01:25:32,960
Speaker 20: not worried about World War three. The issue is that

1653
01:25:33,040 --> 01:25:35,920
Speaker 20: the way it looks to people who supported Trump for

1654
01:25:35,920 --> 01:25:39,360
Speaker 20: the first time, who are not politically engaged people, and

1655
01:25:39,760 --> 01:25:41,599
Speaker 20: I don't I don't think it makes Trump look good.

1656
01:25:41,640 --> 01:25:42,840
Speaker 7: I don't think it makes them look strong.

1657
01:25:42,840 --> 01:25:43,719
Speaker 20: I don't think it makes.

1658
01:25:43,560 --> 01:25:44,160
Speaker 1: Us look good.

1659
01:25:44,520 --> 01:25:46,640
Speaker 20: I think it makes I think it's I think it's

1660
01:25:46,680 --> 01:25:49,040
Speaker 20: the opposite. I think it Trump was forced into it.

1661
01:25:49,120 --> 01:25:50,160
Speaker 7: One second, got it.

1662
01:25:57,920 --> 01:25:59,440
Speaker 1: We will not confined.

1663
01:26:00,000 --> 01:26:02,840
Speaker 13: If you're listening to the sound of Freedom, it's the

1664
01:26:02,960 --> 01:26:03,840
Speaker 13: Charlie Kirk Show.

1665
01:26:04,960 --> 01:26:08,320
Speaker 7: Okay, do we have Alex Marlow with us? Okay, I

1666
01:26:08,360 --> 01:26:09,960
Speaker 7: want to get to Alex Marlow here, email us Freedom

1667
01:26:09,960 --> 01:26:11,880
Speaker 7: at Charliekirk dot com and Mike Service brings up a

1668
01:26:11,880 --> 01:26:13,280
Speaker 7: good point. There's gonna have to be work to be

1669
01:26:13,360 --> 01:26:16,559
Speaker 7: done with some of the people online that seemed to

1670
01:26:16,560 --> 01:26:19,920
Speaker 7: be a little bit fired up. But honestly, this is

1671
01:26:19,960 --> 01:26:22,000
Speaker 7: a great story to tell. Are you kidding me? That

1672
01:26:22,280 --> 01:26:26,120
Speaker 7: you strike Iran? There is risk involved, no US troops

1673
01:26:26,160 --> 01:26:30,599
Speaker 7: die in response, and end of story. This is a

1674
01:26:30,640 --> 01:26:34,519
Speaker 7: major victory. That's the story to tell. Just to be clear,

1675
01:26:34,520 --> 01:26:37,800
Speaker 7: though US officials are now saying this is the US

1676
01:26:37,840 --> 01:26:42,960
Speaker 7: officials are now saying that Iran that I'm trying to

1677
01:26:42,960 --> 01:26:47,640
Speaker 7: find this here. US officials are now saying that this

1678
01:26:47,760 --> 01:26:51,959
Speaker 7: was largely symbolic. Trump has no intention of retaliation against

1679
01:26:52,040 --> 01:26:56,719
Speaker 7: Iran after its failed retaliation attempt. Alex Marlow. If that's true,

1680
01:26:56,760 --> 01:27:00,280
Speaker 7: is this not a very powerful narrative to be able

1681
01:27:00,280 --> 01:27:02,960
Speaker 7: to present to the American people that look, there was

1682
01:27:03,080 --> 01:27:06,760
Speaker 7: risk involved, but that ended up being no casualties and

1683
01:27:06,800 --> 01:27:08,320
Speaker 7: no death to American troops.

1684
01:27:09,680 --> 01:27:09,920
Speaker 1: Yeah.

1685
01:27:10,000 --> 01:27:12,520
Speaker 6: I think that.

1686
01:27:11,800 --> 01:27:15,320
Speaker 19: What we've seen here is Trump basically executing a plan

1687
01:27:15,560 --> 01:27:18,120
Speaker 19: that is very straightforward. He's a man of his word,

1688
01:27:18,280 --> 01:27:21,720
Speaker 19: and Iran has not shown any willingness to be cooperative

1689
01:27:21,720 --> 01:27:23,960
Speaker 19: in the slightest and I think that, you know, it's

1690
01:27:24,040 --> 01:27:25,600
Speaker 19: just not true. The facts are on Trump's side that

1691
01:27:25,640 --> 01:27:26,760
Speaker 19: he was not manipulated into this.

1692
01:27:26,840 --> 01:27:27,360
Speaker 15: I know there's a.

1693
01:27:27,280 --> 01:27:30,800
Speaker 19: Perception online that Israel somehow coaxed Trump into war. The

1694
01:27:30,960 --> 01:27:33,320
Speaker 19: Israel was freaking out that Trump could throw them under

1695
01:27:33,320 --> 01:27:35,160
Speaker 19: the bus. We of course, of a lot of sources

1696
01:27:35,160 --> 01:27:36,759
Speaker 19: in Israel, and there's a lot of people who deeply

1697
01:27:36,760 --> 01:27:38,960
Speaker 19: concerned that Trump is not a fan of nt YAHOO,

1698
01:27:39,000 --> 01:27:41,080
Speaker 19: does not want to fight wars on his behalf. But

1699
01:27:41,120 --> 01:27:43,479
Speaker 19: Aron went right after Trump by continuing doing rich and

1700
01:27:43,479 --> 01:27:46,040
Speaker 19: continuing to fund those proxies despite him pleading with them,

1701
01:27:46,080 --> 01:27:48,479
Speaker 19: please stop, let's be diplomatic, and they would not do it.

1702
01:27:48,680 --> 01:27:51,040
Speaker 19: And this fits very clearly with Trump's narrative of taking

1703
01:27:51,080 --> 01:27:51,679
Speaker 19: out Bagdatti.

1704
01:27:51,720 --> 01:27:54,000
Speaker 15: You remember Charlie's all those beautiful dogs going through the wall.

1705
01:27:54,080 --> 01:27:55,000
Speaker 15: They could have gone through the door.

1706
01:27:55,000 --> 01:27:56,680
Speaker 19: They went through the wall, all that great stuff with

1707
01:27:56,760 --> 01:28:01,040
Speaker 19: him as Solomony, the taking out the boy troops in Syria,

1708
01:28:02,000 --> 01:28:06,240
Speaker 19: pro arming, proactively arming Ukraine, cutting out in Nordstream two

1709
01:28:06,000 --> 01:28:09,640
Speaker 19: to affect the Russians. Trump has been highly aggressive and

1710
01:28:09,680 --> 01:28:11,840
Speaker 19: people are not cooperative with him, and then he does

1711
01:28:11,840 --> 01:28:14,360
Speaker 19: a one off move, maybe two or three moves the most,

1712
01:28:14,560 --> 01:28:16,840
Speaker 19: and then he backs off. He's a peacetime president, but

1713
01:28:16,880 --> 01:28:19,559
Speaker 19: he understands being unpredictable is the quickest way to peace.

1714
01:28:20,000 --> 01:28:22,360
Speaker 19: If he stops here where he's at now, that will

1715
01:28:22,400 --> 01:28:24,400
Speaker 19: be the narrative and it will be a winning narrative

1716
01:28:24,439 --> 01:28:24,880
Speaker 19: over time.

1717
01:28:25,560 --> 01:28:29,080
Speaker 7: Yeah, and Alex, let's just let's just kind of reiterate

1718
01:28:29,160 --> 01:28:31,840
Speaker 7: this point though, you know, can you address some of

1719
01:28:31,880 --> 01:28:36,599
Speaker 7: Mike's Mike Serovich's contentions that, hey, for low propensity voters,

1720
01:28:36,600 --> 01:28:38,840
Speaker 7: they don't like the Ford intervention and all this. Yeah,

1721
01:28:38,920 --> 01:28:42,080
Speaker 7: do you think the way that this is concluding could

1722
01:28:42,160 --> 01:28:43,360
Speaker 7: maybe remedy some of that.

1723
01:28:44,320 --> 01:28:45,280
Speaker 15: Yeah, it has to.

1724
01:28:45,280 --> 01:28:46,880
Speaker 19: And Mike is one hundred percent correct on that that

1725
01:28:46,920 --> 01:28:50,160
Speaker 19: we need to be deeply cautious of every political coalition

1726
01:28:50,200 --> 01:28:53,240
Speaker 19: in this country is tenuous, and it is very important

1727
01:28:53,240 --> 01:28:55,719
Speaker 19: that when you're in charge and you have to do stuff,

1728
01:28:55,960 --> 01:28:58,679
Speaker 19: there's nothing that's one hundred to zero issue. So every

1729
01:28:58,720 --> 01:29:00,720
Speaker 19: time Trump makes a move, there's always a risk that

1730
01:29:00,800 --> 01:29:02,240
Speaker 19: some of the base, some of the movement, is not

1731
01:29:02,280 --> 01:29:04,920
Speaker 19: going to understand it. It's imperative on the messengers and

1732
01:29:04,960 --> 01:29:07,680
Speaker 19: on Trump himself and on his administration to make that

1733
01:29:07,760 --> 01:29:10,040
Speaker 19: case to the public in an effective way. And I

1734
01:29:10,120 --> 01:29:12,320
Speaker 19: trust these guys to do it. But there are a

1735
01:29:12,360 --> 01:29:14,040
Speaker 19: lot of people who are new to the movement who

1736
01:29:14,040 --> 01:29:17,240
Speaker 19: do not understand why some of us like Israel so

1737
01:29:17,360 --> 01:29:20,120
Speaker 19: much and understand that deep history, and they don't want

1738
01:29:20,160 --> 01:29:22,680
Speaker 19: to feel like Trump got manipulated into work. I know

1739
01:29:22,800 --> 01:29:24,800
Speaker 19: for a fact that's not why Trump did this. But

1740
01:29:25,000 --> 01:29:27,680
Speaker 19: that is on the people who want to see this

1741
01:29:27,720 --> 01:29:29,400
Speaker 19: movement to be strong to make that case to the

1742
01:29:29,439 --> 01:29:31,160
Speaker 19: people who are skeptical of everything, Charlie.

1743
01:29:31,160 --> 01:29:32,719
Speaker 15: They're skeptical of everything for good reason.

1744
01:29:33,000 --> 01:29:34,920
Speaker 19: After all the COVID stuff and after all the lying

1745
01:29:34,960 --> 01:29:37,519
Speaker 19: after twenty twenty election. People are skeptical of the government,

1746
01:29:37,800 --> 01:29:40,639
Speaker 19: and it is imperative upon us to make that case

1747
01:29:40,680 --> 01:29:41,000
Speaker 19: to them.

1748
01:29:41,240 --> 01:29:45,519
Speaker 7: Really quick. Okay, so Mike in closing here, Mike Cernovich,

1749
01:29:47,640 --> 01:29:50,520
Speaker 7: what then, does the Trump administration need to do domestically

1750
01:29:50,560 --> 01:29:54,960
Speaker 7: to pitch a perfect game Epstein Files border to be

1751
01:29:55,000 --> 01:29:56,960
Speaker 7: able to keep this colition here, let's just kind of

1752
01:29:57,000 --> 01:29:58,880
Speaker 7: dismiss the whole Iran thing. I think this is going

1753
01:29:58,880 --> 01:30:00,680
Speaker 7: to end up being a narrative win for him. But

1754
01:30:00,800 --> 01:30:03,280
Speaker 7: what is the perfect game that this administration now has

1755
01:30:03,320 --> 01:30:05,000
Speaker 7: to pitch on the domestic side.

1756
01:30:05,080 --> 01:30:09,080
Speaker 20: Mike Cernovic, Yeah, there's now no there's no more excuses

1757
01:30:09,160 --> 01:30:13,479
Speaker 20: because obviously Trump will act on foreign policy when he's pushed.

1758
01:30:13,560 --> 01:30:14,880
Speaker 15: Okay, great, fine.

1759
01:30:14,720 --> 01:30:15,639
Speaker 6: Cool cool.

1760
01:30:15,960 --> 01:30:17,800
Speaker 20: We always knew a lot of these people were going

1761
01:30:17,840 --> 01:30:19,599
Speaker 20: to get what they wanted with Iran, and I never

1762
01:30:19,600 --> 01:30:22,840
Speaker 20: really cared about that. But the Maha stuff there, I

1763
01:30:22,840 --> 01:30:24,759
Speaker 20: feel like the Maha people have been taken for granted.

1764
01:30:24,760 --> 01:30:25,920
Speaker 1: I'd actually talked to people.

1765
01:30:25,760 --> 01:30:27,519
Speaker 20: In the White House and said, you guys need to

1766
01:30:27,560 --> 01:30:29,280
Speaker 20: roll out the red carpet for the Maha moms, and

1767
01:30:29,320 --> 01:30:34,080
Speaker 20: who's doing that, who's responsible for that's so that's so important.

1768
01:30:34,080 --> 01:30:35,640
Speaker 1: I think it's still being overlooked.

1769
01:30:35,840 --> 01:30:38,479
Speaker 20: The Epstein Files people don't have the appetite anymore to

1770
01:30:38,520 --> 01:30:40,959
Speaker 20: hear that we don't have it. We can't find it.

1771
01:30:41,040 --> 01:30:43,400
Speaker 20: The pipe bomb, J six pipe bomb. They have to

1772
01:30:43,400 --> 01:30:45,559
Speaker 20: really start rolling out a lot of domestic ones and

1773
01:30:45,560 --> 01:30:46,519
Speaker 20: then sure, today's just.

1774
01:30:46,439 --> 01:30:47,240
Speaker 6: A blip on the radar.

1775
01:30:47,560 --> 01:30:48,760
Speaker 1: People will get over it quick.

1776
01:30:48,800 --> 01:30:51,880
Speaker 20: But there is now no more excuse for why things

1777
01:30:51,880 --> 01:30:54,120
Speaker 20: aren't happening or why things are taking too long. People

1778
01:30:54,120 --> 01:30:55,280
Speaker 20: are people are just done with that.

1779
01:30:55,840 --> 01:30:57,719
Speaker 7: Mike. We're gonna have you back on for a longer

1780
01:30:57,720 --> 01:30:59,719
Speaker 7: conversation about this. But we have to have ten million

1781
01:30:59,760 --> 01:31:02,680
Speaker 7: deep hportations. We gotta get Epstein files out. We need

1782
01:31:02,720 --> 01:31:04,599
Speaker 7: to have the big beautiful bill. We need spending cuts.

1783
01:31:04,640 --> 01:31:06,519
Speaker 7: We got to pitch a perfect game to keep this

1784
01:31:06,600 --> 01:31:09,040
Speaker 7: low prop coalition together. Mike Cernovich, thank you so much.

1785
01:31:10,160 --> 01:31:11,840
Speaker 7: We have Alex Marla with us and Blake. Blake, do

1786
01:31:11,840 --> 01:31:13,559
Speaker 7: you have a comment here on kind of news that

1787
01:31:13,560 --> 01:31:14,000
Speaker 7: we're seeing?

1788
01:31:14,120 --> 01:31:16,599
Speaker 6: Well, so, I mean, there's not much news right now.

1789
01:31:16,600 --> 01:31:18,720
Speaker 18: One of the funny things about this is just you

1790
01:31:18,800 --> 01:31:21,080
Speaker 18: get war has like long lulls in it, and then

1791
01:31:21,200 --> 01:31:23,280
Speaker 18: you just have these shows where you act. For now,

1792
01:31:23,400 --> 01:31:25,880
Speaker 18: nothing new is happening on the strikes front. This may

1793
01:31:25,920 --> 01:31:28,320
Speaker 18: be the end of things that could always change at

1794
01:31:28,360 --> 01:31:32,559
Speaker 18: any time. I suppose A big open question is what

1795
01:31:32,720 --> 01:31:35,000
Speaker 18: will happen if we get.

1796
01:31:34,760 --> 01:31:36,439
Speaker 6: This off ramp to get out of things.

1797
01:31:36,600 --> 01:31:39,679
Speaker 18: But if just the war continues, if Israel keeps bombing Iran,

1798
01:31:39,800 --> 01:31:45,120
Speaker 18: Iran keeps shooting missiles back at Israel, will that cause

1799
01:31:45,120 --> 01:31:47,200
Speaker 18: any pressure for US to get involved again at any

1800
01:31:47,200 --> 01:31:50,920
Speaker 18: point or are we able to stand aside with just

1801
01:31:51,960 --> 01:31:53,200
Speaker 18: the role we've played so far.

1802
01:31:53,320 --> 01:31:55,800
Speaker 7: So there are explosions in Tehran right now, which is

1803
01:31:55,960 --> 01:31:58,880
Speaker 7: likely Israeli jets. So Israel and Ron are gonna keep

1804
01:31:58,920 --> 01:32:01,200
Speaker 7: on going back at it. But this is probably and

1805
01:32:01,400 --> 01:32:05,479
Speaker 7: likely a closure to the American involvement here. And by

1806
01:32:05,479 --> 01:32:07,479
Speaker 7: the way, don't take my word for it. Oil prices

1807
01:32:07,479 --> 01:32:11,679
Speaker 7: are going down. Oil prices are plummeting right now because

1808
01:32:11,720 --> 01:32:13,840
Speaker 7: the markets they're like, okay, we know what this is.

1809
01:32:13,880 --> 01:32:16,840
Speaker 7: This was theatrical, This was performative. This was kind of

1810
01:32:16,920 --> 01:32:20,439
Speaker 7: checked the box. And President Donald Trump is able to

1811
01:32:22,240 --> 01:32:25,840
Speaker 7: President Donald Trump is able to act in a decisive way.

1812
01:32:26,160 --> 01:32:28,120
Speaker 7: You don't have to agree with it, But I'm gonna

1813
01:32:28,160 --> 01:32:30,920
Speaker 7: ask the question though, Okay, if no US troops die,

1814
01:32:31,120 --> 01:32:34,240
Speaker 7: and this is the end of the chapter, hasn't he

1815
01:32:34,320 --> 01:32:39,160
Speaker 7: yet again earned your trust on this stuff? Syria, Solamani

1816
01:32:39,600 --> 01:32:44,720
Speaker 7: al Bagdatti. American troops have not died in these situations.

1817
01:32:44,800 --> 01:32:47,839
Speaker 7: Oil is collapsing right now, and air defenses are activated

1818
01:32:47,880 --> 01:32:51,240
Speaker 7: over Tehran. That is not American jets. From our knowledge,

1819
01:32:51,240 --> 01:32:53,439
Speaker 7: our understanding, the US officials are saying that was a

1820
01:32:53,439 --> 01:32:58,280
Speaker 7: failed response. We don't plan a response. So it is conceivable, then, Alex,

1821
01:32:59,479 --> 01:33:03,720
Speaker 7: that we can say that this chapter is closed. Is

1822
01:33:03,760 --> 01:33:04,160
Speaker 7: that right?

1823
01:33:05,160 --> 01:33:05,320
Speaker 15: Yeah?

1824
01:33:05,360 --> 01:33:08,160
Speaker 19: I think we're We're hovering around something really important here

1825
01:33:08,280 --> 01:33:10,639
Speaker 19: is that this needs to end. The war needs to end,

1826
01:33:10,880 --> 01:33:12,479
Speaker 19: needs to come to a close. We need to not

1827
01:33:12,560 --> 01:33:14,880
Speaker 19: be involved in regime change. And then, as Mike said,

1828
01:33:14,920 --> 01:33:18,080
Speaker 19: go back and get that domestic agenda going. We seven

1829
01:33:18,160 --> 01:33:21,240
Speaker 19: hundred illegal immigration arrests yesterday and that we barely have

1830
01:33:21,240 --> 01:33:22,680
Speaker 19: time to talk about it. I mean that stuff I

1831
01:33:22,680 --> 01:33:23,920
Speaker 19: want to talk about. I want to get back to

1832
01:33:23,920 --> 01:33:26,519
Speaker 19: that agenda. I want to I want those Maha moms

1833
01:33:27,000 --> 01:33:29,439
Speaker 19: reached out to. It is the Epstein files are not

1834
01:33:29,479 --> 01:33:31,639
Speaker 19: gonna No one's going to be happy about that stuff,

1835
01:33:31,680 --> 01:33:35,280
Speaker 19: and that continues to erode the trust in the people,

1836
01:33:35,400 --> 01:33:38,800
Speaker 19: the normal people, the new people in Trump's coalition, and

1837
01:33:38,920 --> 01:33:40,960
Speaker 19: those people need to be focused on, starting with the

1838
01:33:40,960 --> 01:33:43,840
Speaker 19: immigration agenda, getting those tax cuts going, all the things

1839
01:33:43,840 --> 01:33:46,400
Speaker 19: that Trump had promised that needs to get done next

1840
01:33:46,479 --> 01:33:48,599
Speaker 19: in order to solidify that he's a man of his word,

1841
01:33:48,600 --> 01:33:49,320
Speaker 19: which I think he is.

1842
01:33:49,360 --> 01:33:53,120
Speaker 15: So I'm very optimistic today and so and Blake.

1843
01:33:53,400 --> 01:33:58,040
Speaker 7: The Iranian response being theatrical very good for us, especially

1844
01:33:58,120 --> 01:33:59,680
Speaker 7: if we want, like they gave us an off ramp

1845
01:33:59,680 --> 01:34:01,280
Speaker 7: and it look like President Trump is going.

1846
01:34:01,200 --> 01:34:02,080
Speaker 1: To take it.

1847
01:34:02,080 --> 01:34:03,680
Speaker 7: It's conceivable that a week from now we're going to

1848
01:34:03,720 --> 01:34:05,280
Speaker 7: be all back to deportation talk.

1849
01:34:05,439 --> 01:34:07,240
Speaker 6: Yeah, that's one of the great things.

1850
01:34:07,240 --> 01:34:09,960
Speaker 18: If we get the successful off ramp, this just becomes

1851
01:34:10,280 --> 01:34:12,600
Speaker 18: I mean, how many details do you remember about the

1852
01:34:12,600 --> 01:34:14,599
Speaker 18: Solo mony thing? How many details do you remember about

1853
01:34:14,600 --> 01:34:18,880
Speaker 18: the Iran drone crisis? Can you remember the month either

1854
01:34:18,960 --> 01:34:21,120
Speaker 18: of those things happened? Probably at this point some of

1855
01:34:21,160 --> 01:34:23,439
Speaker 18: us could, but I bet most people they couldn't tell

1856
01:34:23,439 --> 01:34:26,559
Speaker 18: you the exact number of you know, war crisis we

1857
01:34:26,600 --> 01:34:28,880
Speaker 18: had with Iran on the first Trump term or when

1858
01:34:29,000 --> 01:34:31,880
Speaker 18: they happened. And I think the biggest win for Trump

1859
01:34:31,960 --> 01:34:34,760
Speaker 18: would be if, in you know, a year from now,

1860
01:34:34,760 --> 01:34:37,559
Speaker 18: people can't even quite remember exactly when this happened.

1861
01:34:38,439 --> 01:34:40,760
Speaker 7: Is President Donald Trump? This is breaking new Some from Axios.

1862
01:34:40,800 --> 01:34:45,080
Speaker 7: His administration was aware of the Iranian attack in advance.

1863
01:34:47,280 --> 01:34:51,800
Speaker 7: So it's pretty amazing. So all right, email us as

1865
01:34:54,920 --> 01:34:56,599
Speaker 7: Alex Marlow, what else are you seeing and hearing?

1866
01:34:57,800 --> 01:34:58,040
Speaker 1: Yeah?

1867
01:34:58,080 --> 01:34:59,840
Speaker 19: I think that, Charlie, you're talking about the right stuff.

1868
01:35:00,120 --> 01:35:02,200
Speaker 19: Urgency to end this thing and to move on is

1869
01:35:02,200 --> 01:35:05,400
Speaker 19: the right thing. But it is incredible display of weakness

1870
01:35:05,400 --> 01:35:07,599
Speaker 19: by Iron that this is all they could summon after

1871
01:35:07,640 --> 01:35:10,360
Speaker 19: two days, and it shows you that they're deeply vulnerable.

1872
01:35:10,400 --> 01:35:13,320
Speaker 19: And I'm not rooting for or against regime change there.

1873
01:35:13,360 --> 01:35:14,920
Speaker 19: What I am rooting for is for America not to

1874
01:35:14,960 --> 01:35:17,800
Speaker 19: be a part of it, and israelis to had They've

1875
01:35:17,800 --> 01:35:19,559
Speaker 19: said they wanted the war to end as well. They

1876
01:35:19,600 --> 01:35:21,280
Speaker 19: can keep bombing for another week or so and then

1877
01:35:21,320 --> 01:35:23,400
Speaker 19: after that, you know, wind this thing down and start

1878
01:35:23,400 --> 01:35:25,920
Speaker 19: focused on those deportations and the rest of the domestic agenda.

1879
01:35:26,120 --> 01:35:28,600
Speaker 19: If that happens, Trump is going to look like just

1880
01:35:29,200 --> 01:35:32,559
Speaker 19: a historic figure with historic wisdom. He continues to play

1881
01:35:32,560 --> 01:35:34,920
Speaker 19: this thing right, and I continue to say optimistic.

1882
01:35:36,400 --> 01:35:38,720
Speaker 7: I'm trying to find one thing here, but Blake, what

1883
01:35:38,760 --> 01:35:44,719
Speaker 7: does this then mean for the broader foreign policy project China, Ukraine, Russia.

1884
01:35:44,760 --> 01:35:46,680
Speaker 7: Does this have other implications?

1885
01:35:46,760 --> 01:35:49,280
Speaker 18: Well, if we get out of it, I think it's

1886
01:35:49,320 --> 01:35:54,040
Speaker 18: probably mostly positive. I think our adversaries, if they had

1887
01:35:54,040 --> 01:35:56,080
Speaker 18: a hope, you know, what could happen to America, they

1888
01:35:56,080 --> 01:35:58,799
Speaker 18: would be thinking, Oh, could America get into another conflict

1889
01:35:58,800 --> 01:36:02,519
Speaker 18: that will deplete them and distract them. I imagine Russia

1890
01:36:02,560 --> 01:36:04,719
Speaker 18: would love it if we got in an Iranian quagmire,

1891
01:36:04,720 --> 01:36:07,680
Speaker 18: because that would probably mean the end to any significant

1892
01:36:07,680 --> 01:36:11,320
Speaker 18: support to Ukraine. China might see, oh, this is going

1893
01:36:11,320 --> 01:36:12,759
Speaker 18: to slow down their pivot to Asia.

1894
01:36:12,840 --> 01:36:15,040
Speaker 6: Maybe that's our chance to go for Taiwan.

1895
01:36:16,439 --> 01:36:18,280
Speaker 18: If we get out of this quickly, I think that

1896
01:36:18,360 --> 01:36:20,640
Speaker 18: might make them think, well, one they're not distracted, and

1897
01:36:20,680 --> 01:36:24,799
Speaker 18: two we saw US military hardware on display. It seems

1898
01:36:24,840 --> 01:36:29,000
Speaker 18: to be working properly. It seems any talk about America's

1899
01:36:29,080 --> 01:36:32,960
Speaker 18: armed forces being you know, a paper tiger might be overblown,

1900
01:36:33,040 --> 01:36:34,840
Speaker 18: and that that could assist us in a lot of

1901
01:36:34,840 --> 01:36:38,240
Speaker 18: our international relations. And also if we're able to successfully

1902
01:36:38,880 --> 01:36:41,679
Speaker 18: kind of put Iran in a corner, that can definitely

1903
01:36:41,680 --> 01:36:44,559
Speaker 18: improve the relationships we've been building in the Middle East.

1904
01:36:44,920 --> 01:36:47,559
Speaker 19: I think can I can I chime in on that, yes, Charlie,

1905
01:36:47,920 --> 01:36:49,599
Speaker 19: because I was thinking about you guys talking about earlier

1906
01:36:49,600 --> 01:36:50,920
Speaker 19: about the straight of our moves and how that's not

1907
01:36:50,960 --> 01:36:52,800
Speaker 19: shut down yet, And I was thinking, if Iran really

1908
01:36:52,800 --> 01:36:54,559
Speaker 19: thought they were in a position of strength, it would

1909
01:36:54,560 --> 01:36:56,320
Speaker 19: have been shut down by now. But I know that

1910
01:36:56,320 --> 01:36:58,559
Speaker 19: there's people in their ear who are more aligned with them,

1911
01:36:58,600 --> 01:37:00,920
Speaker 19: who were saying, absolutely not, do not shut this down.

1912
01:37:01,040 --> 01:37:02,840
Speaker 19: You can't do it, or else we're gonna throw you

1913
01:37:02,920 --> 01:37:05,280
Speaker 19: under the boss too. So it just speaks to the

1914
01:37:05,360 --> 01:37:07,760
Speaker 19: vulnerability that they have right now. And I think that

1915
01:37:07,760 --> 01:37:11,240
Speaker 19: that is another sign that Trump is acting very prudently

1916
01:37:11,320 --> 01:37:13,639
Speaker 19: here by doing something. Don't you too much. No ground

1917
01:37:13,680 --> 01:37:15,760
Speaker 19: troops at all. I know Bandon's warned about the ground troops.

1918
01:37:15,800 --> 01:37:18,599
Speaker 19: He's right to warn people about it. But overall, it

1919
01:37:18,600 --> 01:37:20,759
Speaker 19: feels like we're in very strong footing at the moment.

1920
01:37:21,560 --> 01:37:24,840
Speaker 7: Yes, And so I was just double checking right now.

1921
01:37:24,880 --> 01:37:27,559
Speaker 7: So it looks as if the attack is over. US

1922
01:37:27,600 --> 01:37:30,880
Speaker 7: officials told Fox News that no American soldiers were killed

1923
01:37:30,960 --> 01:37:34,280
Speaker 7: or injured in the Iranian attack. Praise the Lord. That's huge.

1924
01:37:34,280 --> 01:37:39,000
Speaker 7: Everybody that's praise the Lord. It is really big. So

1925
01:37:39,320 --> 01:37:42,280
Speaker 7: the American official says, quote the US is not expected

1926
01:37:42,320 --> 01:37:46,760
Speaker 7: to respond to Iran's failed attack, and so the US

1927
01:37:46,760 --> 01:37:49,760
Speaker 7: official we'll see what happens, and we need a double

1928
01:37:49,760 --> 01:37:52,640

01:39:15,680 --> 01:39:19,040
Speaker 7: late looking at all these sources, original source documents. We're

01:39:23,720 --> 01:39:26,960

1959
01:39:26,960 --> 01:39:30,519
Speaker 7: to all of our sources, no US troops died in

1960
01:39:30,560 --> 01:39:55,000
Speaker 7: the Iranian response. Subscribe to our podcast. We'll be right back. Okay, everybody,

1961
01:39:55,080 --> 01:39:58,400
Speaker 7: welcome back. Email us Freedom at Charliekirk dot com and

1962
01:39:58,800 --> 01:40:02,360
Speaker 7: subscribe to our podcast. Asked, Okay, Blake, what are we

1963
01:40:02,400 --> 01:40:04,639
Speaker 7: seeing as far as the reaction online from folks?

1964
01:40:05,439 --> 01:40:06,880
Speaker 6: I mean the reaction online.

1965
01:40:07,320 --> 01:40:09,439
Speaker 18: What's funny is, you know this is also immediate. I'm

1966
01:40:09,479 --> 01:40:11,120
Speaker 18: not even sure if everyone's seen it, they're at work

1967
01:40:11,200 --> 01:40:13,599
Speaker 18: or whatever. But the initial stuff when people who are

1968
01:40:15,120 --> 01:40:18,679
Speaker 18: hyper online, I think is optimistic. I think there's some gloating.

1969
01:40:18,920 --> 01:40:20,680
Speaker 18: A lot of people at this point are really just

1970
01:40:20,720 --> 01:40:22,719
Speaker 18: in the phase of making fun of Iran.

1971
01:40:23,439 --> 01:40:26,559
Speaker 6: I was messaging you earlier. It's almost like this is.

1972
01:40:26,479 --> 01:40:28,479
Speaker 18: The moment where you remember that Iran is a regime

1973
01:40:28,520 --> 01:40:32,000
Speaker 18: founded by college professors, like they talk in their game,

1974
01:40:32,360 --> 01:40:35,400
Speaker 18: kind of inapt, kind of incompetent, aren't really good at

1975
01:40:35,400 --> 01:40:36,360
Speaker 18: the real world stuff.

1976
01:40:36,600 --> 01:40:38,719
Speaker 6: And you know that's good to the extent that it's true.

1977
01:40:40,040 --> 01:40:44,760
Speaker 18: And I think further reactions will depend greatly on what

1978
01:40:44,880 --> 01:40:45,639
Speaker 18: actually happens.

1979
01:40:45,640 --> 01:40:46,680
Speaker 6: We live in a very you know.

1980
01:40:46,640 --> 01:40:49,599
Speaker 18: Ad D society, so some people are already spiking the football,

1981
01:40:49,640 --> 01:40:53,559
Speaker 18: declaring total victory, declaring everything's worked out exactly as we wanted.

1982
01:40:54,640 --> 01:40:58,080
Speaker 18: We will see what happens. Things change a lot, We'll

1983
01:40:58,120 --> 01:41:00,280
Speaker 18: even have to see one thing we were to discuss

1984
01:41:00,320 --> 01:41:02,040
Speaker 18: in this morning. We still don't know for sure how

1985
01:41:02,080 --> 01:41:05,640
Speaker 18: much damage was actually done to Iran's nuclear program. Did

1986
01:41:05,680 --> 01:41:08,320
Speaker 18: they get their uranium out that's still an open question.

1987
01:41:08,680 --> 01:41:11,880
Speaker 18: It could turn out maybe Iran did a minor response

1988
01:41:11,960 --> 01:41:14,879
Speaker 18: because they already know a lot of their nuclear material

1989
01:41:14,960 --> 01:41:17,360
Speaker 18: is fine, and so they just don't want to antagonize

1990
01:41:17,360 --> 01:41:18,479
Speaker 18: the US because they can just.

1991
01:41:18,400 --> 01:41:21,240
Speaker 6: Get right back to getting that underway again.

1992
01:41:22,000 --> 01:41:24,320
Speaker 18: So I don't think we should overreact to things, but

1993
01:41:24,360 --> 01:41:27,000
Speaker 18: I think the reaction to the extense it exists is

1994
01:41:27,240 --> 01:41:30,120
Speaker 18: a mixture of cautious optimism and making fun of Iran.

2026
01:43:40,200 --> 01:43:44,519
Speaker 7: seems to be largely theatrical. We now need to double

2027
01:43:44,560 --> 01:43:46,400
Speaker 7: check this. Let's change the chir on until we get

2028
01:43:46,400 --> 01:43:49,160
Speaker 7: triple confirmation here. But it looks as if based on

2029
01:43:49,320 --> 01:43:53,360
Speaker 7: all reporting and we're gonna hear from the US officials

2030
01:43:53,400 --> 01:43:57,360
Speaker 7: and the US administration sometime soon, doesn't look like the

2031
01:43:57,439 --> 01:43:59,800
Speaker 7: United States is going to respond again. This is a

2032
01:43:59,840 --> 01:44:02,320
Speaker 7: lot fog of war going on. Could you talk about

2033
01:44:02,320 --> 01:44:04,240
Speaker 7: the fog of Where does that phrase come from, Blake?

2034
01:44:04,520 --> 01:44:06,200
Speaker 6: The fog of war? I think it must.

2035
01:44:06,200 --> 01:44:08,880
Speaker 18: I think it originally comes from Klauswitz, if you've ever

2036
01:44:08,880 --> 01:44:12,960
Speaker 18: heard of that guy. No, Klauswitz was a Prussian. It

2037
01:44:13,040 --> 01:44:14,479
Speaker 18: might even be older than that, but I think it's

2038
01:44:14,479 --> 01:44:17,920
Speaker 18: from him. He was a Prussian military theorist in the

2039
01:44:17,920 --> 01:44:20,559
Speaker 18: eighteen hundreds. He wrote a book on war and it

2040
01:44:20,600 --> 01:44:25,639
Speaker 18: was kind of the first modern like analysis of war

2041
01:44:25,720 --> 01:44:28,880
Speaker 18: that wasn't just like old fashioned, like medieval or ancient text.

2042
01:44:29,120 --> 01:44:30,759
Speaker 6: It was a guy in the eighteen hundreds.

2043
01:44:30,840 --> 01:44:32,519
Speaker 18: He was Germans, so of course the book had to

2044
01:44:32,520 --> 01:44:35,880
Speaker 18: be like a thousand pages long, and he would write

2045
01:44:35,920 --> 01:44:38,559
Speaker 18: and I think he also was the source of kind

2046
01:44:38,560 --> 01:44:41,880
Speaker 18: of the concept of no plan survives first contact with

2047
01:44:41,960 --> 01:44:45,839
Speaker 18: the enemy. So he's like in warfare, you design plans,

2048
01:44:45,840 --> 01:44:48,800
Speaker 18: but as soon as you actually get into combat, those

2049
01:44:48,840 --> 01:44:52,479
Speaker 18: plans break down. You have uncertainty about what's unfolding around you.

2050
01:44:52,680 --> 01:44:53,639
Speaker 18: That's the fog of war.

2051
01:44:54,160 --> 01:44:58,000
Speaker 7: And so from a diplomatic standpoint, and now a US

2052
01:44:58,080 --> 01:45:02,280
Speaker 7: domestic one, what would you say, Blake, is the lesson

2053
01:45:02,360 --> 01:45:05,360
Speaker 7: or the takeaway if no US troops died, If.

2054
01:45:05,160 --> 01:45:09,200
Speaker 18: No US troops die, I would I actually like to caveat.

2055
01:45:09,240 --> 01:45:11,479
Speaker 18: There can be worries about that. A worry that you

2056
01:45:11,600 --> 01:45:15,040
Speaker 18: might have is if we're able to do this, blow

2057
01:45:15,120 --> 01:45:17,840
Speaker 18: up a lot of Iran's nuclear program and get out

2058
01:45:17,880 --> 01:45:21,719
Speaker 18: without any casualties, that could make us.

2059
01:45:21,560 --> 01:45:23,800
Speaker 6: Over confident that that can be replicated.

2060
01:45:24,680 --> 01:45:26,840
Speaker 18: You might think, oh, well, we can apply the same

2061
01:45:26,920 --> 01:45:29,360
Speaker 18: lessons to this other country and they'll probably not hit

2062
01:45:29,400 --> 01:45:30,320
Speaker 18: back at US either.

2063
01:45:30,320 --> 01:45:33,000
Speaker 6: And you make that mistake. I would like to caveat

2064
01:45:33,040 --> 01:45:33,759
Speaker 6: that could happen.

2065
01:45:34,680 --> 01:45:38,840
Speaker 18: That said, I think a lesson we could take is

2066
01:45:39,280 --> 01:45:42,280
Speaker 18: President Trump has at that point a very clear track

2067
01:45:42,320 --> 01:45:47,479
Speaker 18: record of having good instincts on what he can what

2068
01:45:47,640 --> 01:45:50,680
Speaker 18: he's able to do force wise without causing things to

2069
01:45:50,720 --> 01:45:52,960
Speaker 18: spiral out of control. So it'd be a strong win

2070
01:45:53,200 --> 01:45:57,599
Speaker 18: for President Trump's personal instincts in that realm, and it's

2071
01:45:57,680 --> 01:46:02,360
Speaker 18: a display that it is in fact to do limited war,

2072
01:46:02,479 --> 01:46:05,240
Speaker 18: that we can get America back to this attitude of

2073
01:46:05,720 --> 01:46:09,479
Speaker 18: we can do military ventures with clear objectives rather than

2074
01:46:09,600 --> 01:46:12,160
Speaker 18: open ended nation building. I think a reason so many

2075
01:46:12,240 --> 01:46:16,679
Speaker 18: of our wars became these nation building fiascos is because

2076
01:46:16,920 --> 01:46:20,920
Speaker 18: there was a mental tendency in America in Washington that

2077
01:46:21,000 --> 01:46:23,639
Speaker 18: our interventions had to go that way, that we couldn't

2078
01:46:23,680 --> 01:46:25,920
Speaker 18: just say we're going to beat up on this country.

2079
01:46:26,080 --> 01:46:28,799
Speaker 18: It was almost we got too moralizing about our wars

2080
01:46:29,160 --> 01:46:32,320
Speaker 18: that every war had to be to rescue an entire

2081
01:46:32,400 --> 01:46:35,520
Speaker 18: country and bring them freedom and democracy.

2082
01:46:35,920 --> 01:46:38,400
Speaker 6: Whereas Trump, because he comes from a more.

2083
01:46:39,120 --> 01:46:43,040
Speaker 18: Real politic school of thought, he thinks, I wage war

2084
01:46:43,200 --> 01:46:46,040
Speaker 18: for America's interests, and even if it'd be great if

2085
01:46:46,040 --> 01:46:49,200
Speaker 18: Iran was free, that is not why America goes to war.

2086
01:46:49,200 --> 01:46:54,440
Speaker 7: Totally, and it's just so just we're clear. Third verification

2087
01:46:54,520 --> 01:46:57,759
Speaker 7: now from a US official, no casualties reported in Iran

2088
01:46:57,800 --> 01:47:00,200
Speaker 7: missile attack on US Base Blake. Some people and our

2089
01:47:00,200 --> 01:47:03,000
Speaker 7: audience are saying, still we have to respond with force.

2090
01:47:04,240 --> 01:47:06,600
Speaker 7: Come on, guys, take the win. Yeah, And they just

2091
01:47:06,600 --> 01:47:10,200
Speaker 7: did a whole theatrical. You think our enemies are just

2092
01:47:10,240 --> 01:47:12,960
Speaker 7: gonna like not do something at least theatrical in response.

2093
01:47:13,000 --> 01:47:15,600
Speaker 18: It's like if you're like, if you have this like

2094
01:47:15,640 --> 01:47:20,719
Speaker 18: annoying neighbor or something and he's doing I don't know if.

2095
01:47:20,560 --> 01:47:21,200
Speaker 6: He's doing something.

2096
01:47:21,240 --> 01:47:24,240
Speaker 18: If he has something really like aggravating on his property,

2097
01:47:24,240 --> 01:47:25,880
Speaker 18: and you go over and you like smash it to

2098
01:47:25,880 --> 01:47:28,160
Speaker 18: bits or whatever because it's bad. And then he comes

2099
01:47:28,200 --> 01:47:30,639
Speaker 18: over and he's like, you're big and strong, and he's

2100
01:47:30,680 --> 01:47:33,280
Speaker 18: this little twink and he like punches you right in

2101
01:47:33,320 --> 01:47:35,559
Speaker 18: the chest and like it doesn't even hurt you and

2102
01:47:35,600 --> 01:47:38,040
Speaker 18: you're completely unharmed. Do you then like respond by like

2103
01:47:38,040 --> 01:47:39,960
Speaker 18: grabbing him and breaking his arm. No, you just you

2104
01:47:40,040 --> 01:47:41,360
Speaker 18: laugh at him and you walk away.

2105
01:47:42,360 --> 01:47:45,000
Speaker 7: Want you guys to email us Freedom at Charliekirk dot com.

2106
01:47:45,120 --> 01:47:48,599
Speaker 7: Someone says some people say the chapter is not closed.

2107
01:47:48,640 --> 01:47:50,680
Speaker 7: We should send boots on the ground. Some people are

2108
01:47:50,680 --> 01:47:52,519
Speaker 7: saying that emails Freedom at Charliekirk dot com. I think

2109
01:47:52,560 --> 01:47:54,360
Speaker 7: that's uh. I think that's kind of wild, to be

2110
01:47:54,400 --> 01:47:59,599
Speaker 7: really honest. Oil prices, though, are falling five percent after

2111
01:47:59,680 --> 01:48:02,439
Speaker 7: the attack on a US military base. The whole world

2112
01:48:02,479 --> 01:48:05,559
Speaker 7: knows what this is and I fully anticipate President Donald Trump.

2113
01:48:05,560 --> 01:48:07,120
Speaker 7: Here's what President Trump should do. If you want to

2114
01:48:07,120 --> 01:48:09,000
Speaker 7: ask my two cents, and we're going to go till

2115
01:48:09,000 --> 01:48:11,320
Speaker 7: the top. Now we're gonna go five more minutes. President

2116
01:48:11,320 --> 01:48:16,120
Speaker 7: Donald Trump should do a primetime evening address tonight with

2117
01:48:16,280 --> 01:48:18,559
Speaker 7: more specificical about what we did, why it was an

2118
01:48:18,560 --> 01:48:22,639
Speaker 7: American interest to strike Iran, why it was not done lightly,

2119
01:48:22,840 --> 01:48:27,200
Speaker 7: the amazing military accomplishment, and how Iran responded and no

2120
01:48:27,360 --> 01:48:32,800
Speaker 7: American troops died, and then say that this you know,

2121
01:48:32,840 --> 01:48:35,120
Speaker 7: we're going to stay engaged and involved in Iran dares

2122
01:48:35,200 --> 01:48:40,880
Speaker 7: perks up, we will respond even more, but for all

2123
01:48:40,880 --> 01:48:43,400
Speaker 7: intents and purposes, we don't have any further military action.

2124
01:48:43,479 --> 01:48:46,160
Speaker 7: I think that would be a great response. Guys, let's

2125
01:48:46,200 --> 01:48:48,920
Speaker 7: go another a couple minutes, like three to four more minutes.

2126
01:48:48,960 --> 01:48:51,360
Speaker 7: I want to summarize all this. Email US Freedom at

2129
01:49:13,800 --> 01:49:16,400
Speaker 7: we started the day kind of talking about the political fallout,

2130
01:49:17,000 --> 01:49:21,679
Speaker 7: and Iranian missiles were launched. Ten of them were launched

2131
01:49:21,720 --> 01:49:25,639
Speaker 7: at US base in Katar, one in a rock and

2132
01:49:25,760 --> 01:49:29,479
Speaker 7: no casualties reported. If this ends up being the case,

2133
01:49:30,200 --> 01:49:34,360
Speaker 7: with this fast moving, breaking news day, President Donald Trump

2134
01:49:35,640 --> 01:49:44,160
Speaker 7: will have pulled off a phenomenal success, a legendary success, textbook,

2135
01:49:44,320 --> 01:49:49,120
Speaker 7: a masterclass, in a way that none of us could

2136
01:49:49,120 --> 01:49:53,080
Speaker 7: have ever potentially dreamed. We're very word about escalation, as

2137
01:49:53,080 --> 01:49:54,840
Speaker 7: we should be. These things can still escalate from this

2138
01:49:54,880 --> 01:49:57,559
Speaker 7: point forward. These things can still go to levels that

2139
01:49:57,600 --> 01:50:00,599
Speaker 7: we do not anticipate and that we cannot ow predict.

2140
01:50:01,640 --> 01:50:05,320
Speaker 7: But I could tell you right now that President Donald

2141
01:50:05,320 --> 01:50:10,400
Speaker 7: Trump is putting on a foreign policy masterclass, and I

2142
01:50:10,439 --> 01:50:13,800
Speaker 7: believe that President Trump will now exercise restraint. This is

2143
01:50:13,840 --> 01:50:17,000
Speaker 7: how strong nations exercise military power. You don't have to

2144
01:50:17,040 --> 01:50:19,960
Speaker 7: agree with it, but how could you be against the result? Though?

2145
01:50:20,200 --> 01:50:25,680
Speaker 7: If the result ends up being a nuclear program that

2146
01:50:26,000 --> 01:50:30,680
Speaker 7: is severely put back and capability that is jeopardized, and

2147
01:50:30,720 --> 01:50:33,439
Speaker 7: no US troops and no foreign war, no regime change,

2148
01:50:33,439 --> 01:50:37,200
Speaker 7: how could it be against the result. So I encourage

2149
01:50:37,240 --> 01:50:40,840
Speaker 7: you to enter into this discussion with a fair amount

2150
01:50:40,880 --> 01:50:44,800
Speaker 7: of honesty and integrity. So email us Freedom at Charliekirk

Speaker 7: and all across our separate platforms. I hate to say

2154
01:50:53,640 --> 01:50:56,200
Speaker 7: goodbye to sixty thousand people that are watching all at once,

2155
01:50:56,240 --> 01:50:58,880
Speaker 7: but we could probably go a little bit longer on YouTube, right, guys,

2156
01:50:59,240 --> 01:51:00,920
Speaker 7: we can go a little bit longer on YouTube. Even

2157
01:51:00,920 --> 01:51:04,600
Speaker 7: though we say goodbye to rav So in about a

2158
01:51:04,640 --> 01:51:06,320
Speaker 7: minute and a half, I know we're going to lose

2159
01:51:06,360 --> 01:51:08,679
Speaker 7: the real America's voice and then I'm going to throw

2160
01:51:08,720 --> 01:51:11,400
Speaker 7: it to our great friend Jack Posobic.

2161
01:51:13,160 --> 01:51:13,240
Speaker 11: So.

2162
01:51:14,120 --> 01:51:17,000
Speaker 7: The the takeaway for me, and I think for a

2163
01:51:17,040 --> 01:51:20,840
Speaker 7: lot of people is President Donald Trump has navigated this beautifully. Again,

2164
01:51:20,880 --> 01:51:23,720
Speaker 7: there's still a lot of there's still a lot of

2165
01:51:24,720 --> 01:51:27,720
Speaker 7: situational awareness we must have here. There is still a

2166
01:51:27,760 --> 01:51:32,559
Speaker 7: lot of blowback that can still occur. But look this,

2167
01:51:33,240 --> 01:51:37,160
Speaker 7: what Iran did here is very simple. Aran is very

2168
01:51:37,200 --> 01:51:42,200
Speaker 7: worried about what an American response would potentially be. Thirty

2169
01:51:42,240 --> 01:51:43,760
Speaker 7: seconds final thoughts, Blake.

2170
01:51:43,720 --> 01:51:46,280
Speaker 18: I you know, I think we talked about why we

2171
01:51:46,280 --> 01:51:48,519
Speaker 18: were worried about this at the outset, the ways that

2172
01:51:48,560 --> 01:51:52,320
Speaker 18: could spiral out of control. So far it is not spiraling,

2173
01:51:52,600 --> 01:51:54,759
Speaker 18: and I think we would both agree it'd be great

2174
01:51:54,880 --> 01:51:58,599
Speaker 18: for us to seize that opportunity, take the win. Say

2175
01:51:58,720 --> 01:52:00,639
Speaker 18: we did what we came here to do, and we're

2176
01:52:00,640 --> 01:52:03,400
Speaker 18: getting out. We are setting a new template for US

2177
01:52:03,520 --> 01:52:09,880
Speaker 18: military action, limited restrained, clear objectives, brief and that's an

2178
01:52:09,920 --> 01:52:12,800
Speaker 18: asset that we have and we should be grateful for it.

2179
01:52:13,960 --> 01:52:15,719
Speaker 7: Very good, everybody. We got to throw off the remark

2180
01:52:15,720 --> 01:52:17,479
Speaker 7: because voice in about ten seconds here. We also want

2181
01:52:17,479 --> 01:52:19,000
Speaker 7: to go through the super chats on YouTube. I bet

2182
01:52:19,000 --> 01:52:21,479
Speaker 7: we have plenty of those, as we have well over

2183
01:52:21,560 --> 01:52:22,320
Speaker 7: sixty two thousand
