Of course, news about Iran is still dominating 5 00:00:32,840 --> 00:00:34,800 Speaker 1: the headlines night, and we have some more to report 6 00:00:34,840 --> 00:00:35,040 Speaker 1: to you. 7 00:00:35,120 --> 00:00:37,680 Speaker 2: First from justin News very own Jerry Dunley. 8 00:00:38,320 --> 00:00:41,880 Speaker 1: Jerry Dunley by, who is reporting about some critical foreign 9 00:00:41,920 --> 00:00:43,240 Speaker 1: influence being run here. 10 00:00:43,120 --> 00:00:43,880 Speaker 2: In the United States. 11 00:00:43,920 --> 00:00:46,800 Speaker 1: It turns out Chinese state run medium is helping to 12 00:00:46,840 --> 00:00:51,120 Speaker 1: promote astroturfed far left protests against the US strikes on 13 00:00:51,200 --> 00:00:54,520 Speaker 1: Iran through a financial network in league with the infamous 14 00:00:54,920 --> 00:00:59,640 Speaker 1: radical left financier and multimillionaire Neville Roy Singham. That is 15 00:00:59,680 --> 00:01:02,720 Speaker 1: all because China actually has a lot of steak and 16 00:01:02,880 --> 00:01:06,119 Speaker 1: the Iran conflict. The keyword here is energy. President Trump 17 00:01:06,120 --> 00:01:09,640 Speaker 1: already cut off one of China's energy sources in Venezuela, 18 00:01:09,640 --> 00:01:12,600 Speaker 1: and he's going after another one in Iran, and that 19 00:01:12,720 --> 00:01:15,600 Speaker 1: is why the CCP is allegedly trying to destabilize the 20 00:01:15,640 --> 00:01:18,880 Speaker 1: conflict here at home. Immediately after the start of the weekends, 21 00:01:18,959 --> 00:01:23,080 Speaker 1: US military led operations striking Iran's leadership and military sites 22 00:01:23,120 --> 00:01:27,200 Speaker 1: taking out the Supreme Leader. Street protests opposing the conflict 23 00:01:27,200 --> 00:01:30,160 Speaker 1: with Iran were quickly organized in New York City and 24 00:01:30,200 --> 00:01:33,160 Speaker 1: in other national cities by the Leftist Act Now to 25 00:01:33,200 --> 00:01:37,200 Speaker 1: Stop War and End Racism coalition, the Marxist revolutionary group 26 00:01:37,480 --> 00:01:40,600 Speaker 1: known as the People's Forum, are left anti war group 27 00:01:40,760 --> 00:01:43,120 Speaker 1: Code Pink, and the Party for Socialism and Liberation Of 28 00:01:43,240 --> 00:01:45,920 Speaker 1: All those names sound familiar, it's because we've been tracking 29 00:01:46,000 --> 00:01:48,920 Speaker 1: him for the last two years here in the United States. 30 00:01:48,920 --> 00:01:52,520 Speaker 1: Eastern groups that use our tax code to be shielded 31 00:01:52,560 --> 00:01:56,240 Speaker 1: from having to pay federal taxes. They're treated as nonprofits, 32 00:01:56,520 --> 00:02:00,680 Speaker 1: and yet they're fomenting this very difficult protest. Sometimes they 33 00:02:00,680 --> 00:02:04,760 Speaker 1: were fomenting the blockade of federal law enforcement trying to 34 00:02:04,760 --> 00:02:08,560 Speaker 1: carry out ICE operations in Minnesota, among other places. Now 35 00:02:08,600 --> 00:02:11,440 Speaker 1: the Chinese are enjoying their messaging and are echoing it. 36 00:02:11,520 --> 00:02:13,680 Speaker 1: The Chinese state run outlets over the past few days 37 00:02:14,080 --> 00:02:16,600 Speaker 1: tout at the anti war protests have provenly quoted from 38 00:02:16,600 --> 00:02:20,240 Speaker 1: a people Fum leader at length. Think about that we're 39 00:02:20,320 --> 00:02:24,839 Speaker 1: giving the People's Forum a tax break there, creating propaganda 40 00:02:24,919 --> 00:02:26,880 Speaker 1: that even our enemies in China. 41 00:02:26,880 --> 00:02:27,920 Speaker 2: Think is appropriate for them. 42 00:02:27,960 --> 00:02:30,400 Speaker 1: We got a lot more ahead on that in the 43 00:02:30,440 --> 00:02:32,919 Speaker 1: show today, including with two of our members of Congress. 44 00:02:32,960 --> 00:02:35,040 Speaker 1: Were going to kick us off, Congress Women Beth Van 45 00:02:35,160 --> 00:02:38,360 Speaker 1: Dyne from the Great State of Texas and the Chairman 46 00:02:38,400 --> 00:02:40,840 Speaker 1: of the House Intelligence Commute back to back right here, 47 00:02:41,560 --> 00:02:43,080 Speaker 1: just to use no noise at this point, it's a 48 00:02:43,080 --> 00:02:45,560 Speaker 1: good time to bring in my amazing coast Amanda Head. 49 00:02:45,800 --> 00:02:48,040 Speaker 1: I think she's got some more headlines you've been tracking, Amanda, 50 00:02:48,280 --> 00:02:50,600 Speaker 1: busy day at the White House. What was top of 51 00:02:50,639 --> 00:02:51,040 Speaker 1: mind for you? 52 00:02:51,240 --> 00:02:53,560 Speaker 3: Yes, absolutely, I do actually want to get to a 53 00:02:53,600 --> 00:02:57,880 Speaker 3: few other headlines now. The President obviously succeeded in eliminating 54 00:02:57,880 --> 00:03:00,400 Speaker 3: the Supreme Leader of Iran, but our cities here at 55 00:03:00,400 --> 00:03:03,520 Speaker 3: home remain under threat by radical Islam. And at the 56 00:03:03,520 --> 00:03:06,799 Speaker 3: same time, Democrats continue to refuse to come to an 57 00:03:06,880 --> 00:03:09,919 Speaker 3: agreement with Republicans on reopening the government. They are holding 58 00:03:09,960 --> 00:03:14,040 Speaker 3: firm on their demand to defund the Department of Homeland Security, 59 00:03:14,639 --> 00:03:18,280 Speaker 3: and speaking on the homeland, here's what Democrat Eric Swalwell 60 00:03:18,440 --> 00:03:19,880 Speaker 3: had to say on that matter. 61 00:03:20,240 --> 00:03:24,040 Speaker 4: Listen, I see protecting the homeland is also protecting the 62 00:03:24,120 --> 00:03:27,200 Speaker 4: vulnerable immigrants who are running through the fields and factories 63 00:03:27,240 --> 00:03:29,520 Speaker 4: where they work or the woman who's been dragged by 64 00:03:29,520 --> 00:03:31,680 Speaker 4: her hair and thrown into an unmarked van. Or the 65 00:03:31,720 --> 00:03:34,600 Speaker 4: allies in Minnesota. You know a nurse named Preddie and 66 00:03:34,639 --> 00:03:37,120 Speaker 4: a mom named Good who were publicly executed. And so 67 00:03:37,160 --> 00:03:40,680 Speaker 4: if they can put in place reforms that end that 68 00:03:40,680 --> 00:03:43,600 Speaker 4: that stopped the roving tear, democrats are with them. 69 00:03:45,160 --> 00:03:48,960 Speaker 3: So protecting the homeland is not about protecting American citizens. 70 00:03:49,000 --> 00:03:52,839 Speaker 3: He would rather prioritize illegal immigrants and criminals. Got it, Well, 71 00:03:53,160 --> 00:03:56,280 Speaker 3: let me show you exactly what radical Islam thinks about 72 00:03:56,320 --> 00:03:59,960 Speaker 3: our country. Here is a Sheeite mosque in Dearborn, Texas 73 00:04:00,360 --> 00:04:02,480 Speaker 3: holding a memorial for Ali Kamani. 74 00:04:02,600 --> 00:04:05,400 Speaker 5: Yes, what they had to say, my bigness going to 75 00:04:05,440 --> 00:04:07,720 Speaker 5: attack by zis shoes. 76 00:04:07,800 --> 00:04:11,040 Speaker 6: The commander of their mission is the very one who's 77 00:04:11,120 --> 00:04:15,000 Speaker 6: trying to prove that Adam is not worked, prosstrating too. 78 00:04:16,839 --> 00:04:21,440 Speaker 6: At least, is the one behind the scenes, leading their 79 00:04:21,520 --> 00:04:27,359 Speaker 6: cam in the shadows, lurking, urking in their symbology, their ideologies, 80 00:04:27,520 --> 00:04:32,359 Speaker 6: their psychology, their economy, claiming the follow all of most 81 00:04:33,720 --> 00:04:37,520 Speaker 6: at least, is the hidden commander of today's society. 82 00:04:38,920 --> 00:04:42,200 Speaker 3: Dennis gracious dreamus here in our country, calling the country 83 00:04:42,200 --> 00:04:45,680 Speaker 3: that they live in Satanic and yet Democrats like Congressman 84 00:04:45,800 --> 00:04:48,120 Speaker 3: Rick Swola don't seem to be too concerned about it. 85 00:04:48,120 --> 00:04:51,400 Speaker 3: But luckily we have patriots like DHS Secretary Christinome and 86 00:04:51,560 --> 00:04:56,080 Speaker 3: US Senator Lindsay Graham pushing back. Here is Senator Graham's response. 87 00:04:56,160 --> 00:05:00,440 Speaker 7: Can we not understand America's under siege now to be 88 00:05:00,520 --> 00:05:04,040 Speaker 7: attacked because Radical Islam is under siege and they're going 89 00:05:04,080 --> 00:05:06,320 Speaker 7: to hit back, and we're sitting here looking at each 90 00:05:06,320 --> 00:05:10,080 Speaker 7: other and not funding DHS. If you want to reform 91 00:05:10,120 --> 00:05:12,840 Speaker 7: i S great, count me in. If you want to 92 00:05:12,880 --> 00:05:15,920 Speaker 7: make DHS more professional, count me in.

Now, many people 100 00:05:36,640 --> 00:05:39,120 Speaker 3: watch President Trump say in his State of the Union address, 101 00:05:39,200 --> 00:05:41,680 Speaker 3: these people are crazy.

We don't know where they are, 155 00:08:21,520 --> 00:08:24,040 Speaker 5: we don't know what their intentions are, which I think 156 00:08:24,080 --> 00:08:27,200 Speaker 5: is really important right now that we've got homeland security 157 00:08:27,600 --> 00:08:30,240 Speaker 5: funded and these Democrats that are playing these games.

Obviously, when it comes to radical Islam on our shores, 175 00:09:25,520 --> 00:09:29,679 Speaker 3: the priority is any threat to American lives. However, there 176 00:09:29,720 --> 00:09:32,280 Speaker 3: is a cultural threat as well. And I played that 177 00:09:32,280 --> 00:09:34,320 Speaker 3: clip out of Dearborn Michigan. I did not mean to 178 00:09:34,360 --> 00:09:36,840 Speaker 3: besmirch the good reputations of Texas. And it was not Texas, 179 00:09:36,840 --> 00:09:39,920 Speaker 3: it was dearborn Michigan. But you have these communities across 180 00:09:39,960 --> 00:09:43,319 Speaker 3: our country that have turned into you know, in Minnesota, 181 00:09:43,360 --> 00:09:47,120 Speaker 3: you've got these these Somali communities, but Islamic communities on 182 00:09:47,760 --> 00:09:49,680 Speaker 3: our shores in our country. 183 00:09:49,320 --> 00:09:51,160 Speaker 8: There is a culture flash. 184 00:09:51,200 --> 00:09:54,480 Speaker 5: How do we handle that? Well me, But yes, it 185 00:09:54,520 --> 00:09:56,640 Speaker 5: wasn't Dearborn Michigan. But you have them all over and 186 00:09:56,679 --> 00:09:58,120 Speaker 5: you have them in Texas as well. 187 00:09:58,440 --> 00:09:58,959 Speaker 9: All I know. 188 00:09:58,960 --> 00:10:01,640 Speaker 5: Firsthand, I've seen it seeing. You know, a father who 189 00:10:02,160 --> 00:10:05,040 Speaker 5: was finally arrested fifteen twenty years later after murdering his 190 00:10:05,200 --> 00:10:09,200 Speaker 5: daughters in Irving was it was a ritual killing because 191 00:10:09,240 --> 00:10:11,840 Speaker 5: they embarrassed him by being too westernized. They have this 192 00:10:11,920 --> 00:10:14,640 Speaker 5: in our country right now. You've got this epic city 193 00:10:15,440 --> 00:10:19,440 Speaker 5: in Plano. It's the east plane of Islamics Center, where 194 00:10:19,480 --> 00:10:23,000 Speaker 5: they are talking about creating these massive home developments that 195 00:10:23,040 --> 00:10:25,760 Speaker 5: are around a mosque and preventing people who are not 196 00:10:26,840 --> 00:10:29,800 Speaker 5: Islamists from being able to live there. There are issues 197 00:10:29,840 --> 00:10:32,200 Speaker 5: that we face in our state, in our country, and 198 00:10:32,280 --> 00:10:34,040 Speaker 5: I think we need to take them seriously. This is 199 00:10:34,080 --> 00:10:37,080 Speaker 5: a fight that I've been fighting for the last fifteen years. 200 00:10:37,120 --> 00:10:40,640 Speaker 5: And you know, we have been called all sorts of things, 201 00:10:41,040 --> 00:10:43,920 Speaker 5: you know, racist, haters, biggest, you name it. You got 202 00:10:43,960 --> 00:10:46,719 Speaker 5: to call it out when you see it. And we 203 00:10:47,200 --> 00:10:50,760 Speaker 5: had a threat in one of our Collegeville synagogues just 204 00:10:50,800 --> 00:10:53,520 Speaker 5: a few years ago when I was a freshman, where 205 00:10:53,520 --> 00:10:56,520 Speaker 5: we had, you know, a radical Islamist who came over, 206 00:10:56,640 --> 00:11:00,240 Speaker 5: took over a synagogue. It took four people hostage. It 207 00:11:00,320 --> 00:11:04,000 Speaker 5: ended when he got shot. But that should never have happened. 208 00:11:04,080 --> 00:11:06,440 Speaker 5: And I think calling out to anti Semitism when you 209 00:11:06,480 --> 00:11:09,560 Speaker 5: see it, making sure that the people who come to 210 00:11:09,600 --> 00:11:12,600 Speaker 5: our country want to be here, it is not that hard. 211 00:11:12,720 --> 00:11:12,880 Speaker 10: You know. 212 00:11:12,920 --> 00:11:17,280 Speaker 5: We always say that we are a country built on immigration. Yeah, 213 00:11:17,320 --> 00:11:19,800 Speaker 5: but it was immigration with respect. People who wanted to 214 00:11:19,840 --> 00:11:23,840 Speaker 5: assimilate people who share our values, our culture and wanted 215 00:11:23,880 --> 00:11:26,840 Speaker 5: to grow here and prosper We want to welcome those folks. 216 00:11:27,120 --> 00:11:29,080 Speaker 5: But the people who want to do damage, the people 217 00:11:29,120 --> 00:11:31,640 Speaker 5: who wanted to teach our youth how to hate our country, 218 00:11:32,440 --> 00:11:37,800 Speaker 5: how to hate our past, our history, you know, our forefathers. 219 00:11:38,360 --> 00:11:40,120 Speaker 5: We don't need you here, we don't want you here. 220 00:11:40,160 --> 00:11:42,880 Speaker 5: To be here is a privilege. You are taking advantage 221 00:11:42,920 --> 00:11:45,360 Speaker 5: of a system that you know they end up using 222 00:11:45,360 --> 00:11:49,200 Speaker 5: our constitution against us. And I think finding ways of 223 00:11:49,960 --> 00:11:54,280 Speaker 5: the loopholes in the language of our laws that's definitely 224 00:11:54,360 --> 00:11:58,240 Speaker 5: not reflecting the intent is important. I in a number 225 00:11:58,240 --> 00:12:00,559 Speaker 5: of other lawmakers are looking into that right now. We're 226 00:12:00,600 --> 00:12:02,360 Speaker 5: working with a state of Texas to see how we 227 00:12:02,360 --> 00:12:04,240 Speaker 5: can clamp down on some of those laws. And we're 228 00:12:04,240 --> 00:12:05,880 Speaker 5: working in the federal government to figure out how we 229 00:12:06,080 --> 00:12:09,599 Speaker 5: clapped out on those laws and to close those loopolls. 230 00:12:10,679 --> 00:12:11,400 Speaker 2: So important. 231 00:12:12,280 --> 00:12:15,400 Speaker 1: Some of the rhetoric is coming from groups that are 232 00:12:15,960 --> 00:12:18,000 Speaker 1: funded by virtue of the tax code. They get a 233 00:12:18,040 --> 00:12:20,520 Speaker 1: tax exempt status. They're called nonprofits. Five oh one C 234 00:12:20,640 --> 00:12:23,480 Speaker 1: three's a Singham network has some of them your colleague 235 00:12:23,559 --> 00:12:26,000 Speaker 1: Jason Smith flagged these over two years ago to the 236 00:12:26,040 --> 00:12:29,480 Speaker 1: Biden Justice Department Biden I r s. Two years later, 237 00:12:29,679 --> 00:12:32,040 Speaker 1: still those groups have their tax exempt status. 238 00:12:32,040 --> 00:12:33,720 Speaker 2: I know you feel really strongly about this. 239 00:12:34,880 --> 00:12:37,079 Speaker 1: A few weeks ago those groups were up in Minnesota 240 00:12:37,120 --> 00:12:39,400 Speaker 1: protesting Ice. All of a sudden they just switched placards 241 00:12:39,440 --> 00:12:43,440 Speaker 1: and went to Iran. We concerned that the tax code 242 00:12:43,480 --> 00:12:44,520 Speaker 1: is being abused here. 243 00:12:45,080 --> 00:12:48,199 Speaker 5: Well absolutely and again using our constitution against us. That 244 00:12:48,440 --> 00:12:50,079 Speaker 5: using our tax code against us, and we're trying to 245 00:12:50,120 --> 00:12:53,199 Speaker 5: digplicant that we can to tighten that up. I think, 246 00:12:53,240 --> 00:12:57,360 Speaker 5: you know, one big beautiful bill definitely had some rails 247 00:12:57,400 --> 00:12:59,840 Speaker 5: in it that would prevent this type of fraud from occurring. 248 00:13:00,200 --> 00:13:03,080 Speaker 5: You know, I have the Stop Funders of Stop you know, 249 00:13:03,280 --> 00:13:05,520 Speaker 5: Stop Funders Act, which is looking at people who are 250 00:13:05,720 --> 00:13:09,360 Speaker 5: funding some of these riot you know, these violent protests 251 00:13:09,440 --> 00:13:11,280 Speaker 5: and finding out where the money is coming from, who 252 00:13:11,320 --> 00:13:14,480 Speaker 5: is organizing it. I would also like to see my 253 00:13:14,600 --> 00:13:19,160 Speaker 5: GOAK Act pass, which is calling for third party independent 254 00:13:19,240 --> 00:13:23,040 Speaker 5: party uh reflections on our budgets for our agencies. You're 255 00:13:23,080 --> 00:13:26,240 Speaker 5: getting third parties to come in there and research and say, Okay, 256 00:13:26,679 --> 00:13:29,000 Speaker 5: where is money going is it going where it's supposed 257 00:13:29,000 --> 00:13:31,719 Speaker 5: to be going. You know, once we pass it through appropriations, 258 00:13:31,880 --> 00:13:35,680 Speaker 5: how are we holding the agencies accountable and how are 259 00:13:35,679 --> 00:13:37,760 Speaker 5: we holding where those dollars are going to make sure 260 00:13:37,800 --> 00:13:40,800 Speaker 5: that it's for the intent meant? And so many times 261 00:13:40,840 --> 00:13:42,800 Speaker 5: we're not doing that. I think you're already seeing that 262 00:13:42,840 --> 00:13:46,040 Speaker 5: through you know, uh a waste fraud and abuse that 263 00:13:46,040 --> 00:13:48,520 Speaker 5: you've been we've been able to uncover in Minnesota, But 264 00:13:48,640 --> 00:13:51,000 Speaker 5: it is so much further than that. Minnesota is just 265 00:13:51,040 --> 00:13:53,080 Speaker 5: the tip of the iceberg. When what you're going to 266 00:13:53,120 --> 00:13:55,319 Speaker 5: find in California, what they're already starting to uncover in 267 00:13:55,400 --> 00:13:58,840 Speaker 5: New York, Illinois, even in my my great state of Texas. 268 00:13:59,240 --> 00:14:02,240 Speaker 5: We have got to clamp down on the waste fraud 269 00:14:02,280 --> 00:14:05,400 Speaker 5: and abuse and put things in there that are systemic 270 00:14:05,440 --> 00:14:08,400 Speaker 5: and not just dependent on which administration is in power. 271 00:14:10,240 --> 00:14:11,560 Speaker 5: Important park of someone. 272 00:14:11,600 --> 00:14:14,320 Speaker 3: I know you so generously left a briefing and you 273 00:14:14,440 --> 00:14:16,960 Speaker 3: were proving to a lot of information there. I know 274 00:14:17,040 --> 00:14:19,080 Speaker 3: a lot of our listeners they see what's happening in 275 00:14:19,120 --> 00:14:21,120 Speaker 3: the Middle East and they think, all right, it's over there, 276 00:14:21,160 --> 00:14:22,760 Speaker 3: but we need to make sure that there's not a 277 00:14:22,760 --> 00:14:26,080 Speaker 3: threat here at home. President Trump, your Republican colleagues on 278 00:14:26,120 --> 00:14:28,640 Speaker 3: Capitol Hill are working working hard to make sure there 279 00:14:28,680 --> 00:14:30,760 Speaker 3: isn't a threat. But what's that level right now? 280 00:14:32,000 --> 00:14:34,800 Speaker 5: You know, I can't say I'm not in the State Department, 281 00:14:34,840 --> 00:14:36,400 Speaker 5: and that would be a good question to ask them, 282 00:14:36,440 --> 00:14:38,200 Speaker 5: But I will tell you we do have over fifteen 283 00:14:38,280 --> 00:14:41,920 Speaker 5: hundred Americans right now that are still in on that 284 00:14:42,040 --> 00:14:45,120 Speaker 5: area that are trying to get home. They were very clear, 285 00:14:45,120 --> 00:14:48,440 Speaker 5: if you've got folks that are our stranded, have them 286 00:14:48,480 --> 00:14:51,800 Speaker 5: contact the State Department. Go to the State Department's websites, 287 00:14:51,880 --> 00:14:54,680 Speaker 5: sign up, let them know where you are, who you are, 288 00:14:54,840 --> 00:14:58,080 Speaker 5: how to contact you. And they're trying to get on 289 00:14:58,200 --> 00:15:01,840 Speaker 5: planes either charter plane, are using other methods to get 290 00:15:01,880 --> 00:15:04,880 Speaker 5: folks out of those countries that right now are under attack. 291 00:15:05,280 --> 00:15:08,920 Speaker 5: I think we're seeing what's happening over there, and it 292 00:15:09,000 --> 00:15:11,720 Speaker 5: obviously is scary here, which is why again we are 293 00:15:11,800 --> 00:15:14,320 Speaker 5: part of the problem is that we have allowed it 294 00:15:14,360 --> 00:15:16,000 Speaker 5: to happen. But you also have to look at the 295 00:15:16,000 --> 00:15:19,280 Speaker 5: silver lining on this. We have an ability right now 296 00:15:19,360 --> 00:15:21,160 Speaker 5: to be able to stop it. We have an ability 297 00:15:21,240 --> 00:15:24,080 Speaker 5: right now with the President who is who is very 298 00:15:24,120 --> 00:15:27,200 Speaker 5: clear he wants peace in the Middle East. He recognizes 299 00:15:27,240 --> 00:15:29,760 Speaker 5: a threat that it's not only to our military assets 300 00:15:29,760 --> 00:15:32,720 Speaker 5: that are their home, you know, abroad, but also at home. 301 00:15:33,720 --> 00:15:38,520 Speaker 5: But we have, you know, with our Texas freedom, fuel 302 00:15:39,200 --> 00:15:41,120 Speaker 5: and ability to be able to help our allies that 303 00:15:41,240 --> 00:15:45,120 Speaker 5: right now have been reliant on countries like Russia and 304 00:15:45,160 --> 00:15:47,680 Speaker 5: on Iran, we have an ability to be able to 305 00:15:47,720 --> 00:15:51,160 Speaker 5: prevent some of the the manipulations that we have seen. 306 00:15:51,560 --> 00:15:54,280 Speaker 5: But what we have to also understand is regulations matter, 307 00:15:54,360 --> 00:15:56,840 Speaker 5: and what we saw under the Biden administration was their 308 00:15:56,880 --> 00:16:00,800 Speaker 5: attempt to kill our our energy industry and make our 309 00:16:00,920 --> 00:16:04,800 Speaker 5: allies and ourselves more reliant on those countries. So this 310 00:16:04,880 --> 00:16:07,480 Speaker 5: war is not at all you know, these attacks are 311 00:16:07,480 --> 00:16:12,480 Speaker 5: not at all about oil directly, but the ability for 312 00:16:12,600 --> 00:16:15,880 Speaker 5: us to be able to have a free, independent land 313 00:16:15,960 --> 00:16:17,920 Speaker 5: is going to be important. Our ability to be able 314 00:16:17,920 --> 00:16:19,960 Speaker 5: to defend ourselves is going to be important, and the 315 00:16:20,000 --> 00:16:22,000 Speaker 5: ability to be able to be strong allies is going 316 00:16:22,040 --> 00:16:24,680 Speaker 5: to be important. We saw a direct threat, this administration 317 00:16:24,800 --> 00:16:27,480 Speaker 5: took care of it. It's we're not sure, you know, 318 00:16:27,560 --> 00:16:30,120 Speaker 5: this is what question that we had asked today. You know, 319 00:16:30,160 --> 00:16:33,359 Speaker 5: do we have a timeline. I think they're being very realistic. 320 00:16:33,880 --> 00:16:38,000 Speaker 5: We're talking weeks possibly months, not years, but until they 321 00:16:38,040 --> 00:16:40,320 Speaker 5: know the threat and they can get their arms around it. 322 00:16:40,320 --> 00:16:43,680 Speaker 5: It's only been you know, a couple of days. They're 323 00:16:43,720 --> 00:16:46,040 Speaker 5: being as transparent as they possibly can be. I think 324 00:16:46,040 --> 00:16:48,800 Speaker 5: a lot of you Republicans Democrats may not admit it, 325 00:16:49,160 --> 00:16:51,120 Speaker 5: but I have to admit that that is at least, 326 00:16:51,160 --> 00:16:54,240 Speaker 5: and you know it's a transparent administration. They're doing what 327 00:16:54,280 --> 00:16:55,760 Speaker 5: they can and we're going to try to support them 328 00:16:55,760 --> 00:16:56,520 Speaker 5: as much as we can. 329 00:16:57,920 --> 00:17:00,640 Speaker 1: So important one question and that briefing any we had 330 00:17:00,640 --> 00:17:04,320 Speaker 1: this terrible episode in Austin over the weekend. H Are 331 00:17:04,320 --> 00:17:07,159 Speaker 1: they talking about the potential threats on US soil and 332 00:17:07,200 --> 00:17:08,960 Speaker 1: what we need to guard against them. 333 00:17:09,520 --> 00:17:12,840 Speaker 5: I think the answers that we got today were focused 334 00:17:12,880 --> 00:17:16,040 Speaker 5: on on the last few days and what was going 335 00:17:16,080 --> 00:17:21,959 Speaker 5: on overseas.

What a great conversation. 347 00:17:45,280 --> 00:17:48,600 Speaker 1: All right, folks, some people in the media and in 348 00:17:48,680 --> 00:17:51,520 Speaker 1: the democratic circles are saying President Trump started a war 349 00:17:51,560 --> 00:17:54,560 Speaker 1: with Iran. Actually, our next guest thinks he's ending the 350 00:17:54,640 --> 00:17:56,720 Speaker 1: war that I Ran started. The Chairman of the House 351 00:17:56,760 --> 00:18:13,960 Speaker 1: Intelligence gonna be up next right after these messages. 352 00:18:09,560 --> 00:18:12,359 Speaker 3: Welcome back everybody. As the war against the Iranian regime 353 00:18:12,440 --> 00:18:16,080 Speaker 3: escalates following the death of Supreme Leader Iatola Hamani, why 354 00:18:16,080 --> 00:18:19,399 Speaker 3: are Democrats and establishment Republicans calling for a vote to 355 00:18:19,560 --> 00:18:22,960 Speaker 3: limit President Trump's war powers during a time of conflict? 356 00:18:23,320 --> 00:18:26,760 Speaker 3: To paraphrase our next guest, Chairman Crawford, this selective application 357 00:18:26,840 --> 00:18:29,439 Speaker 3: of moral outrage does not help our country win a 358 00:18:29,480 --> 00:18:33,199 Speaker 3: war against the regime determined to destroy us. Joining us 359 00:18:33,240 --> 00:18:35,640 Speaker 3: now is the Chairman of the House Permanent Select Committee 360 00:18:35,680 --> 00:18:38,840 Speaker 3: on Intelligence, Crawford. Mister chairman, thanks so much for being. 361 00:18:38,640 --> 00:18:42,440 Speaker 9: With usany ditte, Thanks for having me, sir. 362 00:18:42,480 --> 00:18:44,160 Speaker 3: I have to start with the elephant in the room. 363 00:18:44,240 --> 00:18:47,879 Speaker 3: Of forty seven presidents by inauguration, count forty five of 364 00:18:47,920 --> 00:18:51,960 Speaker 3: them ordered strikes without official congressional approval, including by the way, 365 00:18:52,240 --> 00:18:55,520 Speaker 3: former President Joe Biden and former President Barack Obama. Why 366 00:18:55,560 --> 00:18:57,679 Speaker 3: on earth do these folks that I just mentioned have 367 00:18:57,760 --> 00:19:00,000 Speaker 3: such bees in their bonnets over President Trump. 368 00:19:01,440 --> 00:19:04,959 Speaker 9: I think the clinical term is Trump derangement syndrome. So 369 00:19:05,200 --> 00:19:07,119 Speaker 9: I think that's what you have to attribute this to. 370 00:19:07,400 --> 00:19:09,200 Speaker 9: It doesn't make any sense at all. You know, we've 371 00:19:09,200 --> 00:19:13,159 Speaker 9: had this conversation before about and sort of the selective application. 372 00:19:14,480 --> 00:19:18,560 Speaker 9: And you know, you think back to twenty eleven President 373 00:19:18,640 --> 00:19:23,640 Speaker 9: Obama order to strike on Libya, and the media asked, 374 00:19:23,840 --> 00:19:28,680 Speaker 9: then a minority leader, does he require congressional notification or 375 00:19:28,720 --> 00:19:32,400 Speaker 9: does he require congressional authorization to carry on that carry 376 00:19:32,440 --> 00:19:33,960 Speaker 9: out that strike, And of course the answer was a 377 00:19:34,040 --> 00:19:38,480 Speaker 9: quick no. Of course not why because he's President Obama. 378 00:19:38,520 --> 00:19:41,720 Speaker 9: And so here we are now with number forty seven, 379 00:19:41,840 --> 00:19:44,679 Speaker 9: President Trump. And you know, if he came out with 380 00:19:44,760 --> 00:19:48,040 Speaker 9: a cure for cancer, they would say, Nope, can't have that. 381 00:19:48,160 --> 00:19:50,480 Speaker 9: We're going to have to authorize that before we can 382 00:19:50,520 --> 00:19:53,639 Speaker 9: start to actually cure people from cancer. I mean, it 383 00:19:53,800 --> 00:19:57,879 Speaker 9: just it's just outrageous that they buy these standards like this. 384 00:20:00,440 --> 00:20:04,159 Speaker 1: We have a lot of things in the public source 385 00:20:04,760 --> 00:20:07,960 Speaker 1: arena to judge the success of our operation thus far. 386 00:20:08,440 --> 00:20:11,280 Speaker 1: For some reason, Iranians keep leadership keep meeting in a 387 00:20:11,280 --> 00:20:13,199 Speaker 1: single spot, which allows us to pick them off. That 388 00:20:13,240 --> 00:20:15,640 Speaker 1: happened again today like I did on Saturday with commaning. 389 00:20:16,440 --> 00:20:19,360 Speaker 1: We're able to now escort ships to the Strata formost 390 00:20:19,400 --> 00:20:20,160 Speaker 1: because we've. 391 00:20:20,040 --> 00:20:21,760 Speaker 2: Gotten naval dominance very quickly. 392 00:20:22,520 --> 00:20:26,080 Speaker 1: How would you assess our success in the first four 393 00:20:26,160 --> 00:20:27,760 Speaker 1: days of this operation. 394 00:20:28,800 --> 00:20:32,000 Speaker 9: Well, I think if they were they were budgeting. I 395 00:20:32,040 --> 00:20:34,160 Speaker 9: don't know how much time they were budgeting to actually 396 00:20:34,200 --> 00:20:37,840 Speaker 9: be able to affect all of those that you just mentioned, 397 00:20:38,520 --> 00:20:40,160 Speaker 9: but the fact that they did it in forty eight 398 00:20:40,160 --> 00:20:41,679 Speaker 9: hours is pretty phenomenal. 399 00:20:42,920 --> 00:20:44,560 Speaker 2: So I think that's a. 400 00:20:44,480 --> 00:20:50,840 Speaker 9: Pretty wise allocation, a pretty precise allocation of resources. And 401 00:20:50,920 --> 00:20:54,159 Speaker 9: so I think that's just a testament to the leadership 402 00:20:54,440 --> 00:20:56,960 Speaker 9: from the White House to the Pentagon, to the State 403 00:20:56,960 --> 00:20:59,719 Speaker 9: Department and across the enterprise. They're just doing a fantastic 404 00:20:59,800 --> 00:21:02,080 Speaker 9: jo on something that really is about a forty seven 405 00:21:02,160 --> 00:21:06,320 Speaker 9: year case to be made for why this operations necessary. 406 00:21:07,520 --> 00:21:09,359 Speaker 8: Yeah, mister Chairman. 407 00:21:09,400 --> 00:21:11,679 Speaker 3: When President Trump took office the first time around, you 408 00:21:11,720 --> 00:21:15,080 Speaker 3: had so many people saying he has no foreign policy experience, 409 00:21:15,160 --> 00:21:18,639 Speaker 3: no diplomacy experience, but he's been the one who has 410 00:21:18,680 --> 00:21:21,399 Speaker 3: been able to achieve so many peace agreements, obviously the 411 00:21:21,400 --> 00:21:25,080 Speaker 3: Abraham Accords, but even just barely a year and one 412 00:21:25,119 --> 00:21:28,000 Speaker 3: month into his second term, he's been able to do 413 00:21:28,080 --> 00:21:31,200 Speaker 3: so much on the world stage. Why is that coming 414 00:21:31,200 --> 00:21:33,679 Speaker 3: from someone who was an outsider? 415 00:21:34,760 --> 00:21:36,720 Speaker 9: Well, I think you just said it. He was an outsider. 416 00:21:36,760 --> 00:21:40,800 Speaker 9: He was not bound by a particular dogma that dictates 417 00:21:40,840 --> 00:21:44,719 Speaker 9: the way we interact with foreign powers, in many cases 418 00:21:44,760 --> 00:21:48,280 Speaker 9: foreign adversaries. But he also had a long history of 419 00:21:48,359 --> 00:21:54,119 Speaker 9: interacting with in foreign countries with regard to building businesses, 420 00:21:54,600 --> 00:21:57,919 Speaker 9: and so he was no stranger to international diplomacy in 421 00:21:57,920 --> 00:22:01,600 Speaker 9: the context of business. He may have been branded an 422 00:22:01,600 --> 00:22:05,200 Speaker 9: outsider because he wasn't one of those guys that sort 423 00:22:05,200 --> 00:22:10,040 Speaker 9: of went along with the institutional approach to how we 424 00:22:10,200 --> 00:22:13,800 Speaker 9: manage foreign affairs. And so I think he has succeeded 425 00:22:14,240 --> 00:22:18,120 Speaker 9: and beyond anybody's expectations. And I think, quite frankly, that 426 00:22:18,240 --> 00:22:22,159 Speaker 9: just really upsets the left and honestly some on the 427 00:22:22,240 --> 00:22:25,000 Speaker 9: right that were sort of preying on his downfall so 428 00:22:25,040 --> 00:22:26,920 Speaker 9: they could say, see, this is the way you're supposed 429 00:22:26,960 --> 00:22:29,600 Speaker 9: to do it, and he basically kind of does things 430 00:22:29,880 --> 00:22:32,680 Speaker 9: his own way, and it's hard to argue with the results. 431 00:22:33,880 --> 00:22:36,560 Speaker 1: Yeah, he's turned the apple cart upside down, but there's 432 00:22:36,560 --> 00:22:38,960 Speaker 1: a lot of success that comes with that turning. 433 00:22:39,000 --> 00:22:39,879 Speaker 2: It's remarkable. 434 00:22:40,840 --> 00:22:43,480 Speaker 1: There are some on the other side of the offering 435 00:22:43,520 --> 00:22:45,639 Speaker 1: me suggesting that there was no reason to attack. 436 00:22:45,720 --> 00:22:47,840 Speaker 2: Now, there was no intelligence of imminent threat. 437 00:22:48,560 --> 00:22:50,919 Speaker 1: You have access to far more than anyone else in 438 00:22:50,960 --> 00:22:51,840 Speaker 1: this country would have. 439 00:22:52,280 --> 00:22:53,520 Speaker 2: When you look at what you know. 440 00:22:53,760 --> 00:22:56,600 Speaker 1: You can't talk about the specifics, but was there an 441 00:22:56,680 --> 00:22:58,680 Speaker 1: actionable threat that warrants these attacks? 442 00:23:00,200 --> 00:23:03,840 Speaker 9: Absolutely, there was forty seven years worth of predicate here. 443 00:23:04,320 --> 00:23:08,919 Speaker 9: But even if there weren't, we could go back to 444 00:23:10,080 --> 00:23:14,040 Speaker 9: October seven, twenty twenty three. We could go back to well, 445 00:23:14,160 --> 00:23:17,120 Speaker 9: I mean down through history. Look at nineteen seventy nine 446 00:23:17,119 --> 00:23:20,720 Speaker 9: when he they stormed the US embassy, took hostages for 447 00:23:20,720 --> 00:23:23,879 Speaker 9: four hundred and forty four days, the Bay Route bombing 448 00:23:24,119 --> 00:23:28,560 Speaker 9: of the Marine barracks in nineteen eighty three, the mining 449 00:23:28,600 --> 00:23:31,879 Speaker 9: of the streets War News and the attack on Samuel B. 450 00:23:32,080 --> 00:23:35,720 Speaker 9: Roberts in nineteen eighty eight, the Kobar Towers in nineteen 451 00:23:35,760 --> 00:23:39,000 Speaker 9: ninety six. I'm missing some and there was some sense, 452 00:23:39,040 --> 00:23:41,199 Speaker 9: but you get the idea this is a There is 453 00:23:41,280 --> 00:23:47,600 Speaker 9: a long history of aggressive behavior and attacks against American 454 00:23:47,680 --> 00:23:51,800 Speaker 9: thousands of Americans can you can directly attribute their deaths 455 00:23:52,200 --> 00:23:56,720 Speaker 9: to Iran. So this didn't happen on a whim. And 456 00:23:56,960 --> 00:24:00,240 Speaker 9: President Trump is not starting a war, He's finishing. 457 00:24:02,560 --> 00:24:05,000 Speaker 3: Mister Chairman. A number of the Gulf States have come 458 00:24:05,160 --> 00:24:08,200 Speaker 3: to President Trump's support in the sport of the United States. 459 00:24:08,280 --> 00:24:10,520 Speaker 3: Was that something that President Trump that you're aware of, 460 00:24:11,119 --> 00:24:12,399 Speaker 3: knew of going into this. 461 00:24:14,119 --> 00:24:16,240 Speaker 9: I'm not sure if he had any kind of insights 462 00:24:16,280 --> 00:24:19,239 Speaker 9: from those other countries how they respond, but I think 463 00:24:19,280 --> 00:24:23,320 Speaker 9: it's very telling that they are responding in a manner 464 00:24:23,359 --> 00:24:26,560 Speaker 9: that is probably surprising a whole lot of people. You 465 00:24:26,640 --> 00:24:31,720 Speaker 9: mentioned his status as somewhat of an outsider, and that 466 00:24:32,320 --> 00:24:35,440 Speaker 9: has got onlookers, particularly in places like in Europe, where 467 00:24:35,440 --> 00:24:38,480 Speaker 9: they tend to be a lot more you know, measured 468 00:24:38,520 --> 00:24:41,320 Speaker 9: in tone and things like this, where they're you know, 469 00:24:41,359 --> 00:24:43,800 Speaker 9: they're basically scratched in their heads saying, what the heck 470 00:24:44,440 --> 00:24:45,600 Speaker 9: that's not supposed to happen. 471 00:24:45,720 --> 00:24:46,040 Speaker 8: It's not. 472 00:24:46,240 --> 00:24:49,359 Speaker 9: I mean, first off, why did Iran a launch strikes 473 00:24:49,359 --> 00:24:52,600 Speaker 9: against Oman and Qatar, the two that were doing the 474 00:24:52,640 --> 00:24:55,800 Speaker 9: most to try to mediate the situation as much as 475 00:24:55,840 --> 00:24:56,720 Speaker 9: they could. 476 00:24:57,720 --> 00:24:58,239 Speaker 2: Why was that? 477 00:24:58,240 --> 00:25:00,600 Speaker 9: Why did they Why did they attack Saudi Arabia? That 478 00:25:01,040 --> 00:25:05,920 Speaker 9: was another thing. Why go after Bahrain the Emirates? 479 00:25:06,320 --> 00:25:08,960 Speaker 2: Why would they do that? And it's got a lot. 480 00:25:08,800 --> 00:25:10,800 Speaker 9: Of people kind of stretching their head. It sort of 481 00:25:10,880 --> 00:25:15,000 Speaker 9: indicates a sort of a flailing response by a regime 482 00:25:15,080 --> 00:25:18,639 Speaker 9: that is essentially circling the drain, and the Europeans looking 483 00:25:18,680 --> 00:25:23,040 Speaker 9: on in amusement because they don't understand why the Gulf 484 00:25:23,080 --> 00:25:27,879 Speaker 9: state allies are lined up along with US and even 485 00:25:27,960 --> 00:25:33,440 Speaker 9: now engaged offensively against Iran. So it sort of defies explanation. 486 00:25:34,040 --> 00:25:37,000 Speaker 9: But I would advise the Europeans to take note. 487 00:25:39,359 --> 00:25:42,439 Speaker 1: German, I'd like to ask a little bit about the 488 00:25:42,480 --> 00:25:46,119 Speaker 1: Homeland Security Department being partially shut down. We have a 489 00:25:46,200 --> 00:25:49,080 Speaker 1: long history of knowing Iran trying to get people on oursell. 490 00:25:49,560 --> 00:25:52,200 Speaker 1: One to assassinate the president in twenty twenty four during 491 00:25:52,200 --> 00:25:55,480 Speaker 1: the election, another to try to kill the Saudi ambassador 492 00:25:55,480 --> 00:25:58,919 Speaker 1: in twenty eleven at the DC restaurant, and then in 493 00:25:58,960 --> 00:26:03,240 Speaker 1: between those some other instances they're trying to kill Iranian 494 00:26:03,880 --> 00:26:08,439 Speaker 1: expats who they disagreed with. How big is the threat 495 00:26:08,480 --> 00:26:12,000 Speaker 1: on our soil of a potential sell of Iranians who 496 00:26:12,000 --> 00:26:14,760 Speaker 1: could go into operation, and how dangerous is keeping the 497 00:26:14,760 --> 00:26:17,080 Speaker 1: Homeland Security Department in this posture right now? 498 00:26:18,000 --> 00:26:20,800 Speaker 9: Well, for one thing, this is not the time to 499 00:26:20,840 --> 00:26:24,880 Speaker 9: be playing politics with Homeland security funding. So that look, 500 00:26:24,960 --> 00:26:27,280 Speaker 9: whatever your politics are, that's fine, I get it. We 501 00:26:27,280 --> 00:26:29,320 Speaker 9: don't have to agree on everything, but we should agree 502 00:26:29,880 --> 00:26:32,000 Speaker 9: that this is not the time to be playing games 503 00:26:32,000 --> 00:26:33,840 Speaker 9: with funding. And by the way, ICE was funded for 504 00:26:33,880 --> 00:26:36,080 Speaker 9: three years as a result of the Working Family's tax 505 00:26:36,119 --> 00:26:39,120 Speaker 9: cut bill that funded ICE for three years, So you're 506 00:26:39,119 --> 00:26:41,760 Speaker 9: not gonna you know, what you're asking for is to 507 00:26:42,320 --> 00:26:45,800 Speaker 9: defund ICE, and that's not part of the process here. 508 00:26:45,440 --> 00:26:48,480 Speaker 9: What they've done is they've taken these other agencies hostage 509 00:26:48,480 --> 00:26:51,840 Speaker 9: when we need them the most. And so this is 510 00:26:52,040 --> 00:26:54,760 Speaker 9: this is very ill advised on their part, and you've 511 00:26:54,760 --> 00:26:57,320 Speaker 9: seen the evidence already early on. Can you attribute that 512 00:26:57,400 --> 00:27:01,560 Speaker 9: action in Austin directly to Iran being handled by or 513 00:27:01,560 --> 00:27:04,760 Speaker 9: directed by ordered by Iran? Maybe not, But what you 514 00:27:04,840 --> 00:27:06,600 Speaker 9: can say is that when they show up with a 515 00:27:06,640 --> 00:27:10,360 Speaker 9: sweatshirt on that says property of Allah and they've got 516 00:27:10,400 --> 00:27:14,520 Speaker 9: a flag of Iran in their truck, that's probably a 517 00:27:14,560 --> 00:27:18,359 Speaker 9: sympathetic act and we may see more of that, and 518 00:27:18,400 --> 00:27:22,560 Speaker 9: by the way, we may see a threat that we 519 00:27:23,160 --> 00:27:26,639 Speaker 9: might not be aware of. So counterintelligence is different than 520 00:27:26,680 --> 00:27:30,359 Speaker 9: law enforcement, and counterintelligence you have to assume the worst, 521 00:27:31,000 --> 00:27:33,360 Speaker 9: and so I think we have to assume that there 522 00:27:33,400 --> 00:27:35,679 Speaker 9: are bad actors here, that we had four years of 523 00:27:35,720 --> 00:27:42,560 Speaker 9: open orders under President Biden, and is it reasonable to 524 00:27:42,600 --> 00:27:45,040 Speaker 9: think that some of those bad actors made it across 525 00:27:45,040 --> 00:27:47,520 Speaker 9: the border and may have established a foothold here and 526 00:27:47,600 --> 00:27:50,440 Speaker 9: are waiting for an opportunity, maybe even being directed by 527 00:27:50,480 --> 00:27:53,880 Speaker 9: Iran or their proxies. Absolutely, it's reasonable, and if it's 528 00:27:53,920 --> 00:27:56,200 Speaker 9: not reasonable, we ought to be thinking about that, whether 529 00:27:56,200 --> 00:27:59,600 Speaker 9: it's reasonable or not, because now we see the evidence 530 00:27:59,640 --> 00:28:02,119 Speaker 9: of it. So we've really got to double down on 531 00:28:02,160 --> 00:28:05,760 Speaker 9: our CI posture now and be a lot more diligent 532 00:28:06,440 --> 00:28:08,120 Speaker 9: so that we can avoid these kinds of things from 533 00:28:08,160 --> 00:28:10,480 Speaker 9: taking place, Mister. 534 00:28:10,320 --> 00:28:11,720 Speaker 5: Chamber, real quickly before we let you go. 535 00:28:11,880 --> 00:28:15,760 Speaker 3: Venezuela has been effectively neutralized as support Prayeran who's their 536 00:28:15,800 --> 00:28:16,480 Speaker 3: lifeline now? 537 00:28:17,920 --> 00:28:18,760 Speaker 2: Well, I think we. 538 00:28:18,720 --> 00:28:23,480 Speaker 9: Are honestly, Look, what we've done in Venezuela is to 539 00:28:23,600 --> 00:28:27,800 Speaker 9: lay the groundwork for the Venezuelans to engage in real 540 00:28:28,480 --> 00:28:32,200 Speaker 9: self determination. Does that mean that they have to adopt 541 00:28:32,200 --> 00:28:34,720 Speaker 9: the US Constitution and look like the United States. No, 542 00:28:35,600 --> 00:28:38,160 Speaker 9: what we've done is removed a dictator there who, by 543 00:28:38,160 --> 00:28:40,040 Speaker 9: the way, was under federal indictment here in the United 544 00:28:40,080 --> 00:28:42,960 Speaker 9: States along with his wife, and lay the groundwork for 545 00:28:43,000 --> 00:28:46,640 Speaker 9: the Venezuelans to now engage in real governance on their 546 00:28:46,760 --> 00:28:49,760 Speaker 9: terms and make some choices that benefit them, and they 547 00:28:49,760 --> 00:28:52,560 Speaker 9: can avail themselves of the mineral wealth that made them 548 00:28:52,640 --> 00:28:55,840 Speaker 9: the most wealthy country in the hemisphere outside of the 549 00:28:55,960 --> 00:28:59,280 Speaker 9: United States for a long time until socialism crept in 550 00:28:59,680 --> 00:29:03,280 Speaker 9: and them of not only their resources but their dignity. 551 00:29:03,640 --> 00:29:06,760 Speaker 9: And now the President Trump has given them an opportunity 552 00:29:06,760 --> 00:29:08,440 Speaker 9: to regain that. That's a good thing and we're going 553 00:29:08,520 --> 00:29:11,360 Speaker 9: to continue to help with that absolutely. 554 00:29:11,560 --> 00:29:13,800 Speaker 3: Chairman of the House Intel Committe Rick Crawford, Sir, thank 555 00:29:13,800 --> 00:29:15,160 Speaker 3: you so much for being with us tonight. 556 00:29:16,120 --> 00:29:18,680 Speaker 9: Thanks for having me absolutely all. 557 00:29:18,640 --> 00:29:21,960 Speaker 3: Right, everybody, coming up next, as US Mexico cooperation moves 558 00:29:21,960 --> 00:29:25,360 Speaker 3: forward following the death of cartel boss Almencho, we're going 559 00:29:25,400 --> 00:29:26,880 Speaker 3: to take a look at what can be done to 560 00:29:26,920 --> 00:29:29,200 Speaker 3: bring an end to the cartel violence and what that 561 00:29:29,240 --> 00:29:30,560 Speaker 3: means for our southern border. 562 00:29:30,480 --> 00:29:30,920 Speaker 5: After this. 563 00:29:40,920 --> 00:29:41,960 Speaker 2: Welcome Back America. 564 00:29:42,880 --> 00:29:46,280 Speaker 1: During the hearing, Tay with the Homeland Security Secretary, Christinoame 565 00:29:46,320 --> 00:29:49,720 Speaker 1: the Democrats wanted to talk about anything other than what 566 00:29:49,800 --> 00:29:52,400 Speaker 1: it would take to get those seven, ten, twelve, fifteen 567 00:29:52,480 --> 00:29:55,560 Speaker 1: million illegal aliens they came in under Joe Biden's watch 568 00:29:55,600 --> 00:29:57,080 Speaker 1: out of the country. They don't have a plan, they 569 00:29:57,080 --> 00:29:58,760 Speaker 1: don't want to talk about it. They want to distract 570 00:29:58,760 --> 00:30:01,520 Speaker 1: from it. Next guess he's always had a plan for it. 571 00:30:01,600 --> 00:30:04,720 Speaker 1: He once oversaw the Customs and Border Protection Agency. He's 572 00:30:04,760 --> 00:30:06,880 Speaker 1: one of the smartest minds in law enforcement. Worked in 573 00:30:06,920 --> 00:30:09,480 Speaker 1: the FBI, the LAPD, and of course the Home ind 574 00:30:09,520 --> 00:30:12,560 Speaker 1: Security Department. He's our good friend and the former acting 575 00:30:12,800 --> 00:30:16,000 Speaker 1: Commissioner of CBP Mark Morgan. 576 00:30:16,040 --> 00:30:17,640 Speaker 2: Marko to have you back on the show. 577 00:30:18,120 --> 00:30:19,880 Speaker 10: Amanda John thanks for abbing. It's great to be with 578 00:30:19,920 --> 00:30:20,280 Speaker 10: you both. 579 00:30:21,360 --> 00:30:23,960 Speaker 1: We love having you on because we get such a 580 00:30:23,960 --> 00:30:26,280 Speaker 1: great perspective. I want to start with something that I 581 00:30:26,360 --> 00:30:29,479 Speaker 1: think is uncomfortable to talk about for people. But in 582 00:30:29,520 --> 00:30:33,360 Speaker 1: this engagement with Iran, it is almost certain that Iranian 583 00:30:33,800 --> 00:30:37,280 Speaker 1: sleeper cells and terroriffs and bad guys got across that border. 584 00:30:37,600 --> 00:30:39,840 Speaker 1: Pam Bondi, in her testimony last year and said at 585 00:30:39,920 --> 00:30:41,000 Speaker 1: least a thousand. 586 00:30:40,640 --> 00:30:42,120 Speaker 2: That they know of today. 587 00:30:42,160 --> 00:30:44,520 Speaker 1: She said, we're going through every one of their interviews 588 00:30:44,520 --> 00:30:46,400 Speaker 1: trying to find them and get them out of the country. 589 00:30:47,000 --> 00:30:49,760 Speaker 1: How real is the threat on our US soil right 590 00:30:49,800 --> 00:30:52,120 Speaker 1: now at this moment, Well. 591 00:30:52,200 --> 00:30:56,880 Speaker 11: It's dangerously incredibly real, John, And let's take the FBI 592 00:30:56,920 --> 00:31:00,760 Speaker 11: as well as the greatest greater US intelligences. These aren't 593 00:31:00,800 --> 00:31:04,240 Speaker 11: my words, they quote. They look at right now, what's 594 00:31:04,280 --> 00:31:07,120 Speaker 11: happened in the United States. The terrorism threat is the 595 00:31:07,200 --> 00:31:11,000 Speaker 11: most complex and elevated that we've seen it since nine 596 00:31:11,040 --> 00:31:15,040 Speaker 11: to eleven. They refer to as quote, a rogues gallery 597 00:31:15,400 --> 00:31:20,040 Speaker 11: of terrorists organizations looking to continue to carry out tax 598 00:31:20,360 --> 00:31:24,360 Speaker 11: against US interest, not just abroad but right here at home, 599 00:31:24,680 --> 00:31:26,480 Speaker 11: you know. And is there a couple of fronts to that. 600 00:31:26,680 --> 00:31:30,720 Speaker 11: What we've seen recently more recently we've seen in years 601 00:31:30,760 --> 00:31:34,640 Speaker 11: since nine to eleven, is they're concerned about the possible 602 00:31:34,840 --> 00:31:37,760 Speaker 11: more of a formal coordinated attack, kind of like what 603 00:31:37,840 --> 00:31:41,320 Speaker 11: we saw in the ball Russia in twenty twenty four. 604 00:31:41,680 --> 00:31:45,040 Speaker 11: But what's really really of the greatest concern right now 605 00:31:45,120 --> 00:31:47,840 Speaker 11: the FBI and the greater INTELLISA community is what we 606 00:31:47,960 --> 00:31:53,240 Speaker 11: call the attacks through loan attackers are small cells, and 607 00:31:53,280 --> 00:31:54,800 Speaker 11: I think it's the point I remember it really took 608 00:31:54,840 --> 00:31:56,720 Speaker 11: about a desert or so terrorists to carry out the 609 00:31:56,720 --> 00:31:58,360 Speaker 11: worst terrorist attack that we've. 610 00:31:58,200 --> 00:32:00,480 Speaker 10: Ever experienced in US history. 611 00:32:00,760 --> 00:32:04,800 Speaker 11: And so this is a very very real threat that 612 00:32:05,400 --> 00:32:09,160 Speaker 11: is really consuming the intelligence community right now. And the 613 00:32:09,160 --> 00:32:11,600 Speaker 11: other thing real quick I'll say too, is look, obviously 614 00:32:11,600 --> 00:32:16,080 Speaker 11: we're focusing on Iran, John, but it's not just Iran, 615 00:32:16,440 --> 00:32:19,600 Speaker 11: it's the whole folks. I mean, during the Biden administration, 616 00:32:19,920 --> 00:32:22,880 Speaker 11: we encounter people from one hundred and sixty three different countries. 617 00:32:23,160 --> 00:32:27,200 Speaker 11: Many of these countries we know harbor, sponsor, and facilitate terrorism, 618 00:32:27,320 --> 00:32:29,880 Speaker 11: whether it's Lebanon, Afghanistan, and of. 619 00:32:29,760 --> 00:32:33,400 Speaker 10: Course including Iran. And the last cut where I'll mention 620 00:32:33,560 --> 00:32:34,680 Speaker 10: is China. 621 00:32:34,960 --> 00:32:38,040 Speaker 11: During the four years of Biden administration, they let in 622 00:32:38,200 --> 00:32:41,240 Speaker 11: over two hundred Chinese nationals. The most of them were 623 00:32:41,280 --> 00:32:44,760 Speaker 11: single adult males of military age. This is an exociticial 624 00:32:44,840 --> 00:32:47,600 Speaker 11: threat that's in the country now in my opinion. 625 00:32:49,240 --> 00:32:52,560 Speaker 3: Well, and just as concerning, we've got homegrown terrorism. DHS 626 00:32:52,560 --> 00:32:55,480 Speaker 3: Secretary of Christi Noman was pressed on this today. The 627 00:32:55,600 --> 00:32:59,960 Speaker 3: characterization surrounding Alex Preddi and renee Good of domestic terrorism. 628 00:33:00,040 --> 00:33:03,000 Speaker 3: But if you are targeting Americans, whether they are civilians 629 00:33:03,280 --> 00:33:05,800 Speaker 3: or federal agents, isn't that domestic terrorism? 630 00:33:07,160 --> 00:33:09,400 Speaker 10: It can be, especially based on the ideology. 631 00:33:09,720 --> 00:33:11,600 Speaker 11: Now, I think we do need to be careful a 632 00:33:11,600 --> 00:33:14,880 Speaker 11: man to sometimes we throw that term out too broadly 633 00:33:15,320 --> 00:33:17,880 Speaker 11: and too quickly, and I think so there needs to 634 00:33:17,920 --> 00:33:20,640 Speaker 11: be that that needs to be applied with judicial, you know, 635 00:33:20,800 --> 00:33:25,600 Speaker 11: kind of coordinated aspects of that. But because terrorism carries 636 00:33:25,880 --> 00:33:31,240 Speaker 11: a very important aspect, when you use that word, it 637 00:33:31,400 --> 00:33:33,640 Speaker 11: really resonates, and so I think we have to be 638 00:33:33,720 --> 00:33:36,640 Speaker 11: careful when we're using that word. But make no mistake, 639 00:33:37,400 --> 00:33:42,000 Speaker 11: a homegrown violent extremist attacks from within against our country, 640 00:33:42,520 --> 00:33:45,880 Speaker 11: regardless of what the target is, as you described, based 641 00:33:45,880 --> 00:33:46,880 Speaker 11: on its ideology. 642 00:33:47,040 --> 00:33:49,000 Speaker 10: Sure that's ever present in this country. 643 00:33:50,720 --> 00:33:54,280 Speaker 1: One of the or one of the body of organizations 644 00:33:54,280 --> 00:33:57,760 Speaker 1: that were the newest designated terrorists, the cartels, they also 645 00:33:57,760 --> 00:34:00,600 Speaker 1: have a lot of capabilities, as we saw in the 646 00:34:00,640 --> 00:34:02,200 Speaker 1: last few weeks with rocket launchers. 647 00:34:02,200 --> 00:34:02,720 Speaker 2: There are things. 648 00:34:02,920 --> 00:34:05,400 Speaker 1: Is there any possibility that the cartels, which has had 649 00:34:05,680 --> 00:34:08,960 Speaker 1: which have had relationships with Iran and certainly China where 650 00:34:08,960 --> 00:34:10,959 Speaker 1: they get their precursors, that they might try to meddle 651 00:34:11,000 --> 00:34:13,240 Speaker 1: at this moment of importance. 652 00:34:15,000 --> 00:34:15,279 Speaker 2: I don't. 653 00:34:15,320 --> 00:34:18,080 Speaker 11: I don't think so, because again, although you can compare 654 00:34:18,120 --> 00:34:21,920 Speaker 11: them to terrorist organization shot, what motivates them is different 655 00:34:21,920 --> 00:34:25,600 Speaker 11: from the traditional terrorist organization. Right, most of we think 656 00:34:25,640 --> 00:34:28,560 Speaker 11: of most like isis and et cetera. We has all 657 00:34:28,680 --> 00:34:31,840 Speaker 11: we think of. They're driven by ideology, where the cartels, 658 00:34:31,880 --> 00:34:34,480 Speaker 11: make no mistake, they're driven by one thing and one 659 00:34:34,520 --> 00:34:36,920 Speaker 11: thing only, and that's money, so. 660 00:34:36,800 --> 00:34:38,400 Speaker 10: That their motivation is different. 661 00:34:38,440 --> 00:34:42,080 Speaker 11: Although although again their tactics and and and the tear 662 00:34:42,160 --> 00:34:45,960 Speaker 11: they bring is comparable to those of terrorist organizations, make 663 00:34:46,040 --> 00:34:48,480 Speaker 11: no mistakes, So I don't have an issue with the designation. 664 00:34:48,880 --> 00:34:50,600 Speaker 10: What what I think you're going to see and where 665 00:34:50,680 --> 00:34:53,759 Speaker 10: they where they can gain their power and control, is 666 00:34:53,760 --> 00:34:57,400 Speaker 10: not attacking the US. It's really continuing to attack the 667 00:34:57,440 --> 00:35:00,600 Speaker 10: government of Mexico to make sure that they remain, the 668 00:35:00,640 --> 00:35:04,480 Speaker 10: cartels remain. Really the supreme allied commander as I called, 669 00:35:04,760 --> 00:35:07,680 Speaker 10: of the government of Mexico. Make no mistake, Mexico is 670 00:35:07,719 --> 00:35:10,719 Speaker 10: a failed narco state. And the last thing I'll say 671 00:35:10,719 --> 00:35:14,440 Speaker 10: on that is the recent issues going on with Mexico, 672 00:35:14,719 --> 00:35:17,120 Speaker 10: the killing of a top cartel leader. Make no mistake 673 00:35:17,200 --> 00:35:19,640 Speaker 10: that wouldn't have happened if it hadn't been one for 674 00:35:19,800 --> 00:35:23,759 Speaker 10: the US support and as well as the pressure coming 675 00:35:24,000 --> 00:35:26,840 Speaker 10: from the President of the United States saying you've got 676 00:35:27,200 --> 00:35:30,280 Speaker 10: to do something because alone Mexico doesn't have the will 677 00:35:30,440 --> 00:35:32,839 Speaker 10: or the capability. 678 00:35:33,480 --> 00:35:34,200 Speaker 2: There's no doubt. 679 00:35:35,040 --> 00:35:36,839 Speaker 3: I want to ask you one quick question before we go, 680 00:35:36,920 --> 00:35:40,680 Speaker 3: with respect to CJNG and that takeover a few weeks 681 00:35:40,719 --> 00:35:42,880 Speaker 3: ago that we saw in Port of Iarta, do you 682 00:35:42,920 --> 00:35:45,879 Speaker 3: anticipate that any of that retaliation surrounding that or they're 683 00:35:45,880 --> 00:35:48,279 Speaker 3: taking out of any other cartel leaders could spill over 684 00:35:48,360 --> 00:35:49,120 Speaker 3: onto our shores. 685 00:35:51,120 --> 00:35:55,360 Speaker 11: Well, yes and no, I mean indirectly. I believe absolutely. 686 00:35:55,400 --> 00:35:57,000 Speaker 11: So we've seen this in the past. Man, it's our 687 00:35:57,000 --> 00:36:00,279 Speaker 11: great question. Whenever you take off a leader, there there's 688 00:36:00,280 --> 00:36:03,240 Speaker 11: a fractialization that happens. So there's a war within Mexico 689 00:36:03,360 --> 00:36:06,480 Speaker 11: happens for control. You know what other splinter groups are 690 00:36:06,480 --> 00:36:08,640 Speaker 11: going to take over C and JG. Remember they're a 691 00:36:08,640 --> 00:36:11,880 Speaker 11: splinter group of the Solo Core cartel. So anytime you 692 00:36:12,000 --> 00:36:15,439 Speaker 11: destabilize that and you let your foot off the gas, 693 00:36:15,480 --> 00:36:17,600 Speaker 11: I mean, you don't continue to just defeat. 694 00:36:17,239 --> 00:36:18,760 Speaker 10: The cartels across the board. 695 00:36:19,239 --> 00:36:21,600 Speaker 11: Yeah, you're going to have a level of violence in Mexico, 696 00:36:21,880 --> 00:36:26,280 Speaker 11: a level of destabilization, and the products and the issues 697 00:36:26,320 --> 00:36:29,160 Speaker 11: that come that they push across our border will be 698 00:36:29,280 --> 00:36:32,480 Speaker 11: impacted by that, no doubt so indirectly there will be 699 00:36:32,640 --> 00:36:35,759 Speaker 11: Make no mistake though, the drugs are continuing to pour 700 00:36:35,840 --> 00:36:39,240 Speaker 11: into our country from the cartels, and make no mistake 701 00:36:39,320 --> 00:36:43,160 Speaker 11: as well, that they're profit from human smuggling. They haven't 702 00:36:43,200 --> 00:36:45,440 Speaker 11: walked away from that. Our board may be the most 703 00:36:45,480 --> 00:36:47,840 Speaker 11: secure it spend and the numbers may be down, but 704 00:36:47,920 --> 00:36:51,080 Speaker 11: the cartels they haven't given up on the human smuggling 705 00:36:52,239 --> 00:36:53,360 Speaker 11: enterprise as well. 706 00:36:54,760 --> 00:36:58,080 Speaker 1: And multi billion dollar business Market's always great to have 707 00:36:58,160 --> 00:37:01,279 Speaker 1: you on this show. Your career law enforcement is so 708 00:37:01,440 --> 00:37:05,320 Speaker 1: storied LAPD, FBI, CPB. We're darn lucky to have in 709 00:37:05,400 --> 00:37:07,359 Speaker 1: this country and on the show every time you come on. 710 00:37:07,400 --> 00:37:08,239 Speaker 2: Thanks for joining us. 711 00:37:08,680 --> 00:37:09,960 Speaker 10: Thanks books great to be with you. 712 00:37:10,440 --> 00:37:13,239 Speaker 1: Yeah, appreciate having it all right, folks, A quick commercial break. 713 00:37:13,280 --> 00:37:16,320 Speaker 1: The next city's across the nation are implementing security measures 714 00:37:16,320 --> 00:37:19,520 Speaker 1: to protect against lower wolf attackers on the coordinated attack 715 00:37:19,560 --> 00:37:21,480 Speaker 1: and I round that much more after the break. 716 00:37:32,160 --> 00:37:34,440 Speaker 3: Welcome back everybody to just the news and no noise. 717 00:37:34,480 --> 00:37:37,040 Speaker 3: Let's return to our discussion on Iran and explore what 718 00:37:37,080 --> 00:37:40,200 Speaker 3: the US might anticipate from Iran's proxies in the wake 719 00:37:40,280 --> 00:37:43,280 Speaker 3: of the Coordinator strike against the Iranian regime. Our reports 720 00:37:43,280 --> 00:37:46,040 Speaker 3: show that Iranian drone attacks on the US embassy and 721 00:37:46,120 --> 00:37:49,040 Speaker 3: other targets are being viewed as retaliation for the death 722 00:37:49,040 --> 00:37:51,520 Speaker 3: of Iran Supreme Leader, but they also appear to be 723 00:37:51,640 --> 00:37:54,760 Speaker 3: part of a broader military escalation in the region. 724 00:37:54,800 --> 00:37:57,600 Speaker 5: So what happens next? Joining us now to discuss. 725 00:37:57,239 --> 00:38:01,319 Speaker 3: This an expert on military intelligence, retired intelligence officer and 726 00:38:01,360 --> 00:38:04,720 Speaker 3: former White House Senior Advisor, Doctor Paul Schabow. Doctor Chabou, 727 00:38:04,800 --> 00:38:06,760 Speaker 3: thanks so much for being with us. 728 00:38:06,800 --> 00:38:08,359 Speaker 8: My pleasure, Amanda, thanks for having me. 729 00:38:09,680 --> 00:38:12,680 Speaker 3: Before we get into the granular of what we can expect, 730 00:38:12,680 --> 00:38:14,040 Speaker 3: I want to ask you about a timeline because the 731 00:38:14,040 --> 00:38:17,359 Speaker 3: Trump administration. President Trump said brought four to five weeks out, 732 00:38:17,440 --> 00:38:19,279 Speaker 3: that's what they anticipate the timeline to be. But he 733 00:38:19,320 --> 00:38:21,839 Speaker 3: also said that we're ahead of time. So what do 734 00:38:21,880 --> 00:38:23,440 Speaker 3: you anticipate is going to be coming. 735 00:38:23,360 --> 00:38:25,520 Speaker 5: In the in the next few weeks? 736 00:38:25,560 --> 00:38:27,480 Speaker 3: And do you think that we will wrap this up 737 00:38:27,480 --> 00:38:28,840 Speaker 3: by the beginning of April. 738 00:38:29,840 --> 00:38:31,640 Speaker 8: No, I don't think there ever is a wrapping up 739 00:38:31,680 --> 00:38:32,480 Speaker 8: in the Middle East. 740 00:38:32,560 --> 00:38:36,359 Speaker 12: Historically we have been will be, and like I love 741 00:38:36,360 --> 00:38:38,680 Speaker 12: our military, we've got to have a strong military presence 742 00:38:38,719 --> 00:38:41,359 Speaker 12: around the globe. That's what's critical for keeping peace here 743 00:38:41,400 --> 00:38:43,399 Speaker 12: at home. So we don't bring the battlefield here where 744 00:38:43,400 --> 00:38:45,879 Speaker 12: we are. But the Middle East has been a mess. 745 00:38:45,920 --> 00:38:48,720 Speaker 12: I was there in Iraq in eighth nine during the surge. 746 00:38:49,440 --> 00:38:52,480 Speaker 12: Many of our troops, our American servicemen that were killed 747 00:38:52,880 --> 00:38:57,560 Speaker 12: were killed because of Iran building IEDs and bringing them 748 00:38:57,600 --> 00:39:00,359 Speaker 12: into Iraq to kill our service members. So we got 749 00:39:00,360 --> 00:39:02,719 Speaker 12: a few scores here to even with their military love 750 00:39:02,800 --> 00:39:06,319 Speaker 12: seeing Trump and especially you know Israel here in the 751 00:39:06,440 --> 00:39:10,839 Speaker 12: United States working together collectively with intelligence with Mosad, which 752 00:39:10,880 --> 00:39:14,520 Speaker 12: is almost like the equivalent to our CIA, sharing information 753 00:39:14,600 --> 00:39:15,600 Speaker 12: and hitting targets. 754 00:39:15,880 --> 00:39:16,720 Speaker 8: Now, this is amazing. 755 00:39:16,719 --> 00:39:19,360 Speaker 12: What we've done in forty eight hours, seventy two hours 756 00:39:19,480 --> 00:39:22,400 Speaker 12: is we've done amazing. However, it's going to get a 757 00:39:22,440 --> 00:39:24,200 Speaker 12: little bit more messy, and that's what we can get 758 00:39:24,200 --> 00:39:28,480 Speaker 12: into in this discussion because quite honestly, that is a 759 00:39:28,520 --> 00:39:32,120 Speaker 12: phase where we are going to see, unfortunately some of 760 00:39:32,160 --> 00:39:34,640 Speaker 12: our adversaries and the UN which we are not a 761 00:39:34,640 --> 00:39:37,719 Speaker 12: big fan of, begin to turn against this tide now 762 00:39:37,840 --> 00:39:41,440 Speaker 12: real quick. Seventy one percent right now of Republicans across 763 00:39:41,440 --> 00:39:43,960 Speaker 12: this country support what Trump is doing in Iran. 764 00:39:44,120 --> 00:39:44,640 Speaker 8: That is great. 765 00:39:44,680 --> 00:39:46,719 Speaker 12: It's great for the midterms, but it's also great for 766 00:39:46,760 --> 00:39:48,880 Speaker 12: our country because we're back in our president at a 767 00:39:48,960 --> 00:39:51,680 Speaker 12: time when this is critical for taking out Iran's nuclear 768 00:39:51,719 --> 00:39:53,560 Speaker 12: capability and keeping the world safe. 769 00:39:55,360 --> 00:39:59,160 Speaker 1: This war is reminding us how quickly warfare has changed 770 00:39:59,200 --> 00:40:02,040 Speaker 1: over the last te che Aid suicide drones. Even the 771 00:40:02,160 --> 00:40:03,920 Speaker 1: US has them and use them for the first time. 772 00:40:03,960 --> 00:40:06,080 Speaker 1: Pete xth was a big fan of getting those into 773 00:40:06,120 --> 00:40:10,359 Speaker 1: our arsenal. At some point though, these iron domes and 774 00:40:10,400 --> 00:40:13,920 Speaker 1: these anti ballistic missile and anti drone technologies have a limit, 775 00:40:14,160 --> 00:40:16,879 Speaker 1: and so we'd have to keep manufacturing them. Is there 776 00:40:16,880 --> 00:40:20,720 Speaker 1: a danger that Iran can outshoot our ability to shoot 777 00:40:20,760 --> 00:40:23,200 Speaker 1: them down because at some point the supply is going 778 00:40:23,239 --> 00:40:25,680 Speaker 1: to run out with the large region we're trying to protect. 779 00:40:26,800 --> 00:40:29,640 Speaker 12: Yeah, So what we're transitioning to you right now, we 780 00:40:29,680 --> 00:40:32,640 Speaker 12: have air supremacy across Iran, which is great. 781 00:40:32,680 --> 00:40:35,520 Speaker 8: We achieve that in two days. Remarkable. 782 00:40:36,360 --> 00:40:38,800 Speaker 12: It's not so much it's not so much the missiles 783 00:40:38,800 --> 00:40:41,480 Speaker 12: that we're worried about. It is exactly what you said 784 00:40:41,520 --> 00:40:44,600 Speaker 12: to drones. These drones cost on average ten to twenty 785 00:40:44,680 --> 00:40:48,200 Speaker 12: thousand to make. We don't know how many necessarily they have. 786 00:40:48,320 --> 00:40:50,920 Speaker 12: They have different types. They've got a new jet type. 787 00:40:51,120 --> 00:40:53,680 Speaker 12: They could potentially have one hundred thousand of them, but 788 00:40:53,719 --> 00:40:56,880 Speaker 12: they have so many. They've been exporting these to Russia. 789 00:40:56,960 --> 00:41:01,400 Speaker 12: Russia's been using them to attack you. So they are proven. 790 00:41:01,440 --> 00:41:05,280 Speaker 12: They're effective. You can hide them, they're cheap. And remember 791 00:41:05,320 --> 00:41:07,200 Speaker 12: they're one way drones. They don't need to bring this 792 00:41:07,280 --> 00:41:11,160 Speaker 12: stuff back. Just put munitions on them. Suicide missions and 793 00:41:11,360 --> 00:41:13,600 Speaker 12: what they can attack is critical. Let's talk briefly about 794 00:41:13,600 --> 00:41:16,040 Speaker 12: the straight upore moves. Roughly twenty percent of the world's 795 00:41:16,040 --> 00:41:18,960 Speaker 12: oil goes through there. Thankfully, through Trump, our nation is 796 00:41:19,040 --> 00:41:20,279 Speaker 12: largely oil independent. 797 00:41:20,680 --> 00:41:21,360 Speaker 8: China is not. 798 00:41:21,480 --> 00:41:23,359 Speaker 12: We can talk about that later if we have time. 799 00:41:23,680 --> 00:41:25,200 Speaker 12: So we got worry about the straight up poor mouse. 800 00:41:25,200 --> 00:41:27,160 Speaker 12: We got to worry about lone wolf attacks. We got 801 00:41:27,160 --> 00:41:30,440 Speaker 12: to worry about the Huthis and Yemen, Hezbollah, and the 802 00:41:30,480 --> 00:41:33,720 Speaker 12: Shias in Iraq, which are very sympathetic to this Iran 803 00:41:33,800 --> 00:41:37,520 Speaker 12: regime which right now is getting decimated decimated by the 804 00:41:37,640 --> 00:41:38,360 Speaker 12: US and Israel. 805 00:41:40,719 --> 00:41:42,520 Speaker 3: Paul I want to ask you about the storage of 806 00:41:42,600 --> 00:41:46,280 Speaker 3: these drones. I feel certain that US intelligence. 807 00:41:45,760 --> 00:41:47,000 Speaker 5: Knows where they are. 808 00:41:47,239 --> 00:41:49,799 Speaker 3: And I mean I look at the way that the 809 00:41:49,840 --> 00:41:52,840 Speaker 3: IDF was able to take out Iranian officials using their pages. 810 00:41:52,880 --> 00:41:54,840 Speaker 3: First of all, who has pages in this day and age. 811 00:41:54,960 --> 00:41:58,040 Speaker 3: But if they were able to do that through their pagers? 812 00:41:58,080 --> 00:42:01,080 Speaker 3: And we I feel sure nowhere these drones are, where 813 00:42:01,120 --> 00:42:04,080 Speaker 3: these munitions are being stored. Why aren't we taking that out? 814 00:42:05,120 --> 00:42:07,879 Speaker 12: I would say, because there's so many, and they're so inexpensive, 815 00:42:07,960 --> 00:42:10,520 Speaker 12: and it doesn't take an industry to be able to 816 00:42:10,520 --> 00:42:13,000 Speaker 12: put these things together. You can almost put them together 817 00:42:13,080 --> 00:42:15,200 Speaker 12: on the battlefield when you look at some of the 818 00:42:15,320 --> 00:42:17,960 Speaker 12: unclassified intelligence. Look, we learned a lot right now from 819 00:42:18,040 --> 00:42:21,000 Speaker 12: Russia and Ukraine. We can play that right into Iran. 820 00:42:21,400 --> 00:42:24,480 Speaker 12: A lot of these drones are put together on the battlefield, 821 00:42:24,560 --> 00:42:28,320 Speaker 12: deployed from the battlefield, and somebodies can fly over a 822 00:42:28,400 --> 00:42:30,719 Speaker 12: thousand miles, which you know they can hit any one 823 00:42:30,719 --> 00:42:34,200 Speaker 12: of our bases in the region. Our fifth Fleet headquarters 824 00:42:34,320 --> 00:42:36,399 Speaker 12: is one hundred and twenty four miles from the shore 825 00:42:36,400 --> 00:42:39,920 Speaker 12: of Iran. We've already seen what they've done targeting neighboring countries. 826 00:42:40,440 --> 00:42:42,920 Speaker 12: So going forward, we've certainly got to worry about that 827 00:42:43,200 --> 00:42:46,879 Speaker 12: risk of drone attacks on our service members. By the way, 828 00:42:46,960 --> 00:42:49,399 Speaker 12: we've lost now up to six or prayers to them 829 00:42:49,760 --> 00:42:52,440 Speaker 12: and their families and just you know. 830 00:42:52,440 --> 00:42:53,360 Speaker 8: It's heartbreaking. 831 00:42:53,680 --> 00:42:56,319 Speaker 12: But we've got the best military in the world, and 832 00:42:56,719 --> 00:42:59,880 Speaker 12: from the loss of these Americans that we have to 833 00:43:00,080 --> 00:43:02,160 Speaker 12: member is our adversaries are watching this. 834 00:43:02,560 --> 00:43:04,040 Speaker 8: We used to think of the four we used to 835 00:43:04,040 --> 00:43:07,760 Speaker 8: think of China, Russia, North Korea, and Iran. 836 00:43:07,840 --> 00:43:10,719 Speaker 12: Well, Iran's getting removed from that, and our adversaries right 837 00:43:10,719 --> 00:43:15,200 Speaker 12: now are watching. I mentioned China. China doesn't really have 838 00:43:15,320 --> 00:43:18,040 Speaker 12: their own oil. They taken so much from the Middle East. 839 00:43:18,320 --> 00:43:20,799 Speaker 12: Right now they are shutting down their refineries because they 840 00:43:20,800 --> 00:43:24,360 Speaker 12: don't have enough oil coming in. So China's got a 841 00:43:24,440 --> 00:43:26,000 Speaker 12: lot to lose here. If the straight of Horor moves 842 00:43:26,000 --> 00:43:28,880 Speaker 12: get shut down. Trump administration said they may begin to 843 00:43:28,960 --> 00:43:31,240 Speaker 12: protect if they haven't already, the straight of Horror moves 844 00:43:31,320 --> 00:43:34,400 Speaker 12: not just oil but commerce around the globe. The US 845 00:43:34,520 --> 00:43:37,400 Speaker 12: is taking a strong leadership role two carrier strike groups 846 00:43:37,400 --> 00:43:40,760 Speaker 12: in the region. I heard today France is finally sending 847 00:43:41,280 --> 00:43:42,320 Speaker 12: some naval assets. 848 00:43:42,520 --> 00:43:44,879 Speaker 8: Hey, welcome, welcome France. Better late than never. 849 00:43:45,040 --> 00:43:47,840 Speaker 12: You know we'll take you, but America is leading and 850 00:43:47,880 --> 00:43:50,880 Speaker 12: we're leading side by side with our ally Israel. 851 00:43:52,080 --> 00:43:54,120 Speaker 2: Yeah, so very important before we let you go. 852 00:43:55,200 --> 00:43:58,439 Speaker 1: The President and Marco Rubio, I have said, mp Tex, 853 00:43:58,440 --> 00:44:01,080 Speaker 1: I've also had something provocative which is as effective and 854 00:44:01,120 --> 00:44:04,319 Speaker 1: as damaging as these attacks are. They ain't the big ones. 855 00:44:04,560 --> 00:44:07,480 Speaker 1: You ain't seen nothing yet, Iran. What's likely to be 856 00:44:07,640 --> 00:44:09,960 Speaker 1: in that next round? Now that we have air superiority, 857 00:44:10,000 --> 00:44:12,520 Speaker 1: do we start to see bunker busters and things like 858 00:44:12,560 --> 00:44:16,400 Speaker 1: that that really inflict both psychological and physical damage. 859 00:44:17,360 --> 00:44:20,160 Speaker 12: So I would think of our primary goal here, even 860 00:44:20,160 --> 00:44:21,920 Speaker 12: though we don't have boots on the ground per se, 861 00:44:22,080 --> 00:44:23,680 Speaker 12: we do. I mean, we know we have assets on 862 00:44:23,719 --> 00:44:27,080 Speaker 12: the ground. Wassad's been there, CIA's been there, and we 863 00:44:27,239 --> 00:44:29,520 Speaker 12: are already looking at the sites that we've hit. 864 00:44:29,719 --> 00:44:31,680 Speaker 8: How effective were those previously? 865 00:44:32,160 --> 00:44:34,880 Speaker 12: It is really securing those locations and making sure they 866 00:44:34,880 --> 00:44:38,240 Speaker 12: don't get into the wrong hands. But when you mentioned 867 00:44:38,239 --> 00:44:41,359 Speaker 12: Marco Rubio, what's fascinating is when you saw Trump over 868 00:44:41,400 --> 00:44:43,040 Speaker 12: the weekend at mar A logo, there was a still 869 00:44:43,080 --> 00:44:45,040 Speaker 12: picture of him and said Trump's left and that still 870 00:44:45,080 --> 00:44:47,640 Speaker 12: picture was Marco Rubio. We often think of the Department 871 00:44:47,640 --> 00:44:50,640 Speaker 12: Award hegcept Marco Rubio is playing a huge role in 872 00:44:50,680 --> 00:44:53,480 Speaker 12: this as well as he should, because the State Department 873 00:44:53,760 --> 00:44:55,479 Speaker 12: is going to have a huge role in Iran. They've 874 00:44:55,480 --> 00:44:57,879 Speaker 12: already thought behind the scenes about who they can work with, 875 00:44:58,040 --> 00:45:00,479 Speaker 12: who they can ally with, who they want to see. 876 00:45:00,520 --> 00:45:03,560 Speaker 12: So controlling the airspace right now is important not just 877 00:45:03,560 --> 00:45:07,400 Speaker 12: to the Department of War and keeping our people safe, 878 00:45:07,440 --> 00:45:09,960 Speaker 12: but it's also important the State Department because they want 879 00:45:09,960 --> 00:45:12,440 Speaker 12: to watch the right people rise up and fight in 880 00:45:12,520 --> 00:45:14,680 Speaker 12: Iran to take back that country. 881 00:45:14,719 --> 00:45:17,279 Speaker 8: So we're going to provide I'm sure protection to them. 882 00:45:18,480 --> 00:45:19,439 Speaker 2: Yeah, good point. 883 00:45:19,680 --> 00:45:22,640 Speaker 3: Retired Navy intelligence officer, doctor Paul Schabou, thanks so much 884 00:45:22,680 --> 00:45:24,080 Speaker 3: for being with us. 885 00:45:24,120 --> 00:45:25,920 Speaker 8: My pleasure, have a great evening. Thanks for having me 886 00:45:26,320 --> 00:45:27,040 Speaker 8: you as well, you. 887 00:45:27,040 --> 00:45:29,160 Speaker 3: As well, all right, everybody coming up next, President Trump 888 00:45:29,200 --> 00:45:32,200 Speaker 3: gives his take on the worst possible scenario regarding Iran 889 00:45:32,280 --> 00:45:33,879 Speaker 3: and more. We'll be on that on the other. 890 00:45:33,800 --> 00:45:39,800 Speaker 9: Side, Jarnals. 891 00:45:39,920 --> 00:45:41,759 Speaker 1: My job is to follow the fact. So when I 892 00:45:41,840 --> 00:45:43,840 Speaker 1: wasn't sleeping well, I did what I always do. I 893 00:45:43,840 --> 00:45:47,120 Speaker 1: went looking for answers. I led a search that led 894 00:45:47,160 --> 00:45:49,920 Speaker 1: me to gost Bed. I interviewed ghost Bed's founder, who 895 00:45:50,000 --> 00:45:52,360 Speaker 1: created ghost bed after multiple neck surgeries. 896 00:45:52,600 --> 00:45:54,399 Speaker 2: He couldn't find a mattress the out of the. 897 00:45:54,320 --> 00:45:56,520 Speaker 1: Price, I would really relieve the pressure and support it 898 00:45:56,560 --> 00:45:57,200 Speaker 1: restless sleep. 899 00:45:57,560 --> 00:45:58,240 Speaker 2: I was interested. 900 00:45:58,280 --> 00:46:00,919 Speaker 1: I wasn't sleeping well, but I was events So after 901 00:46:01,000 --> 00:46:03,880 Speaker 1: taking the online mattress quiz, I chose the ghost Bed 902 00:46:04,239 --> 00:46:07,640 Speaker 1: Signature hybrid and put it to the test. The difference 903 00:46:07,719 --> 00:46:10,360 Speaker 1: has been remarkable. I fell asleep almost instantly. 904 00:46:10,920 --> 00:46:13,319 Speaker 2: That was new. I slept so deeply. I'd wake up 905 00:46:13,360 --> 00:46:14,600 Speaker 2: surprised it was morning. 906 00:46:14,880 --> 00:46:16,920 Speaker 1: When the last time you slept so deeply that the 907 00:46:16,960 --> 00:46:20,440 Speaker 1: world went offline. My favorite difference is the cooling science. 908 00:46:20,480 --> 00:46:22,920 Speaker 1: I talk about this on the show. Ghostbed is designed 909 00:46:23,000 --> 00:46:26,560 Speaker 1: to release excess body heat, helping keep a stable sleep 910 00:46:26,560 --> 00:46:29,640 Speaker 1: temperature all night long. No getting too warm and kicking 911 00:46:29,640 --> 00:46:30,480 Speaker 1: out the covers. 912 00:46:30,280 --> 00:46:31,759 Speaker 2: And getting cold and waking up. 913 00:46:32,080 --> 00:46:34,400 Speaker 1: You can try ghostbed risk free with its one hundred 914 00:46:34,400 --> 00:46:36,520 Speaker 1: and one night sleep trial, and if you need help, 915 00:46:36,719 --> 00:46:39,560 Speaker 1: your sleep exerts can help guide you get my special 916 00:46:39,600 --> 00:46:43,279 Speaker 1: ten percent discompany you use promo code news at ghostbed 917 00:46:43,320 --> 00:46:45,560 Speaker 1: dot com slash news. 918 00:46:52,680 --> 00:46:55,919 Speaker 3: Welcome back, Everybody, John A moment of levity Levity. Before 919 00:46:55,920 --> 00:46:58,600 Speaker 3: we get into the names of those Force service members 920 00:46:58,600 --> 00:47:00,600 Speaker 3: that we're going to talk about in a minute. Doctor 921 00:47:00,600 --> 00:47:04,360 Speaker 3: Paul Schabeau mentioned France and their involvement or lack there of, 922 00:47:04,440 --> 00:47:06,560 Speaker 3: when it comes to these conflicts. 923 00:47:06,239 --> 00:47:10,080 Speaker 5: And it reminded me of a Norman. 924 00:47:09,800 --> 00:47:13,040 Speaker 3: Schwartzekov sports cough quote. 925 00:47:13,239 --> 00:47:14,279 Speaker 12: Oh shoot, what was it? 926 00:47:14,400 --> 00:47:17,840 Speaker 3: Going to war without France is like going hunting without 927 00:47:18,520 --> 00:47:20,920 Speaker 3: not a bagpipe something else, some of their instruments. Anyway, 928 00:47:21,600 --> 00:47:24,160 Speaker 3: but it just brought to mind the fact that the 929 00:47:24,239 --> 00:47:27,560 Speaker 3: United States now under President Trump, there is so much 930 00:47:27,600 --> 00:47:30,760 Speaker 3: more strength on the battlefield, whether that is a kinetic 931 00:47:30,760 --> 00:47:35,440 Speaker 3: battlefield or otherwise. And quite frankly, we don't need countries 932 00:47:35,440 --> 00:47:36,919 Speaker 3: like France anyway, ran too when. 933 00:47:36,840 --> 00:47:38,920 Speaker 1: You got Israel, I mean, right now, the Israelis have 934 00:47:38,960 --> 00:47:42,839 Speaker 1: shown the expertise that have in intelligence. They hit two 935 00:47:42,960 --> 00:47:45,319 Speaker 1: or three consecutive meetings and knock out the leadership over 936 00:47:45,360 --> 00:47:48,320 Speaker 1: and over again. Is unheard of in the history of warfare. 937 00:47:48,360 --> 00:47:50,280 Speaker 5: It's really soon, all right, roll call. 938 00:47:50,440 --> 00:47:55,560 Speaker 1: Yeah, listen, we hear these four soldiers killed, six coldres sailed, 939 00:47:55,600 --> 00:47:58,719 Speaker 1: and they sometimes just are statistic, but they're people.

You go through this 966 00:49:11,840 --> 00:49:15,280 Speaker 13: and then in five years you realize you put somebody 967 00:49:15,280 --> 00:49:17,719 Speaker 13: in who was no better. So we'd like to see 968 00:49:17,719 --> 00:49:21,480 Speaker 13: somebody in there that's gonna bring it back for the people, 969 00:49:22,000 --> 00:49:23,880 Speaker 13: and we'll see what happens with the people. You know, 970 00:49:23,960 --> 00:49:26,840 Speaker 13: they have their chance, and we've said, don't do it yet. 971 00:49:27,160 --> 00:49:28,840 Speaker 13: If you're going to go out and protest, don't do 972 00:49:28,880 --> 00:49:31,400 Speaker 13: it yet. It's very dangerous out there. A lot of 973 00:49:31,440 --> 00:49:34,399 Speaker 13: bombs are being dropped. But I always say that would 974 00:49:34,400 --> 00:49:35,200 Speaker 13: be about the worst. 975 00:49:36,560 --> 00:49:39,719 Speaker 3: John. That is the risk a Russian stacking doll scenario 976 00:49:39,880 --> 00:49:41,200 Speaker 3: of Iranian terraces. 977 00:49:41,719 --> 00:49:43,680 Speaker 1: We're not really about in regime change because we don't 978 00:49:43,680 --> 00:49:44,920 Speaker 1: know who the person's going to be. We're going to 979 00:49:44,920 --> 00:49:47,000 Speaker 1: create the conditions of the Iranian people. That was really 980 00:49:47,000 --> 00:49:47,399 Speaker 1: clear there. 981 00:49:47,400 --> 00:49:49,800 Speaker 2: That undercuts one of the Democrats talking about absolutely. 982 00:49:49,840 --> 00:49:51,200 Speaker 3: President Trump has been very firm on that. 983 00:49:51,280 --> 00:49:51,919 Speaker 5: So it's good to see. 984 00:49:51,920 --> 00:49:53,879 Speaker 3: All right, everybody had a great night.
