1
00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:03,000
Speaker 1: Here in twenty twenty six, you are president. Are you

2
00:00:03,080 --> 00:00:06,440
Speaker 1: thinking about taking carg Island where ninety percent of the

3
00:00:06,440 --> 00:00:08,760
Speaker 1: Iranian oil goes through? And what do you think about?

4
00:00:08,920 --> 00:00:12,680
Speaker 1: Do you remember that interview and that that.

5
00:00:13,880 --> 00:00:14,600
Speaker 2: School of thought.

6
00:00:15,160 --> 00:00:17,360
Speaker 3: Yeah, well, Brian, I can't answer a question like that.

7
00:00:17,520 --> 00:00:19,640
Speaker 3: You should and you should ask, and you shouldn't be

8
00:00:19,680 --> 00:00:23,040
Speaker 3: even asking it. It's one of so many different things.

9
00:00:23,320 --> 00:00:25,560
Speaker 3: It's not high on the list, but it's one of

10
00:00:25,680 --> 00:00:28,640
Speaker 3: so many different things. And I can change my mind

11
00:00:28,680 --> 00:00:31,280
Speaker 3: in seconds. But you know, if he had asked a question,

12
00:00:31,280 --> 00:00:33,599
Speaker 3: who would answer a question like that? I mean, you're

13
00:00:33,640 --> 00:00:38,120
Speaker 3: asking me a question carg Island? Okay? Everything? Who asked

14
00:00:38,120 --> 00:00:41,320
Speaker 3: a question like that? And what fool would answer it? Okay,

15
00:00:41,760 --> 00:00:43,240
Speaker 3: Let's say I was going to do it, or let's

16
00:00:43,240 --> 00:00:45,760
Speaker 3: say I wasn't going to do it. Would I said? Oh, yes, Brian,

17
00:00:46,280 --> 00:00:49,080
Speaker 3: I'm thinking about doing it. Let me let me let

18
00:00:49,159 --> 00:00:51,480
Speaker 3: you know what time and when it will take place.

19
00:00:51,520 --> 00:00:53,920
Speaker 3: It's not you know, it's sort of a foolish question.

20
00:00:54,280 --> 00:00:56,440
Speaker 3: A little surprising for you because you're a smart man.

21
00:00:56,840 --> 00:00:58,560
Speaker 1: I am, But you were just pretty amazing that you

22
00:00:58,600 --> 00:00:59,840
Speaker 1: thought about in nineteen eighty.

23
00:00:59,640 --> 00:01:02,480
Speaker 4: Eight, moments ago at my direction, the United States Central

24
00:01:02,480 --> 00:01:05,560
Speaker 4: Command executed one of the most powerful bombing raids in

25
00:01:05,600 --> 00:01:09,000
Speaker 4: the history of the Middle East and totally obliterated every

26
00:01:09,040 --> 00:01:13,319
Speaker 4: military target in Iran's crown jewel, Carg Island. He continues,

27
00:01:13,400 --> 00:01:16,039
Speaker 4: our weapons are the most powerful and sophisticated that the

28
00:01:16,080 --> 00:01:18,800
Speaker 4: world has ever known, but for reasons of decency, I've

29
00:01:18,880 --> 00:01:22,200
Speaker 4: chosen not to wipe out the oil infrastructure on the island.

30
00:01:22,760 --> 00:01:25,720
Speaker 4: The President then adds, However, should Iran or anyone else

31
00:01:25,760 --> 00:01:28,640
Speaker 4: do anything to interfere with the free and safe passage

32
00:01:28,680 --> 00:01:31,640
Speaker 4: of ships through the Strait of Hormuz, I will immediately

33
00:01:31,680 --> 00:01:35,760
Speaker 4: reconsider this decision. Carg Island is where most of Iran's

34
00:01:35,760 --> 00:01:39,080
Speaker 4: oil exports flow. It has gone untouched until now. Also,

35
00:01:39,080 --> 00:01:40,840
Speaker 4: we should to point out today we learned that some

36
00:01:40,920 --> 00:01:44,160
Speaker 4: twenty five hundred marines and sailors are headed into the region,

37
00:01:44,160 --> 00:01:47,160
Speaker 4: and though we don't yet know what this marine expeditionary

38
00:01:47,280 --> 00:01:50,200
Speaker 4: unit's mission is or it may be, they are traditionally

39
00:01:50,280 --> 00:01:53,920
Speaker 4: used for large scale evacuations as well as amphibious assaults.

40
00:01:54,320 --> 00:01:58,000
Speaker 4: The President, as you know, has neither ruled out ground combat,

41
00:01:58,320 --> 00:02:00,480
Speaker 4: or it hasn't ruled it in or out. I should

42
00:02:00,560 --> 00:02:04,800
Speaker 4: say was Trump says that military targets were struck, but

43
00:02:05,120 --> 00:02:07,840
Speaker 4: why not effectively try to take over the island to

44
00:02:07,840 --> 00:02:09,639
Speaker 4: control the oil coming out of there.

45
00:02:10,720 --> 00:02:12,280
Speaker 5: If he had done that, it would have been a

46
00:02:12,320 --> 00:02:16,639
Speaker 5: major escalation. Ninety percent of Iron's oil experts go through

47
00:02:16,680 --> 00:02:19,800
Speaker 5: this one tiny island. It's about five miles long, about

48
00:02:19,840 --> 00:02:22,600
Speaker 5: twenty miles out into the Persian Gulf. And so this

49
00:02:22,800 --> 00:02:26,079
Speaker 5: is a Trump pressure tactic. This is, you know, I'm

50
00:02:26,080 --> 00:02:28,080
Speaker 5: going to strike all the military targets on this island,

51
00:02:28,120 --> 00:02:30,120
Speaker 5: but I'm not going to hell these refineries and other

52
00:02:30,160 --> 00:02:32,840
Speaker 5: things like that. I think he's just trying to again

53
00:02:33,440 --> 00:02:37,400
Speaker 5: pressure the Irian regime, which the administration seems to think is.

54
00:02:37,360 --> 00:02:37,799
Speaker 1: Going to work.

55
00:02:37,840 --> 00:02:40,200
Speaker 5: You know, more bombs and more pressure, and they're just

56
00:02:40,240 --> 00:02:43,600
Speaker 5: going to cave'. I don't think this strike will force

57
00:02:43,639 --> 00:02:46,320
Speaker 5: them to cave. But that's why it's significant that he

58
00:02:46,400 --> 00:02:48,520
Speaker 5: did not take out all that oil infrastructure. And then,

59
00:02:48,560 --> 00:02:51,080
Speaker 5: most importantly, if he took out all the oil infrastructure,

60
00:02:51,680 --> 00:02:53,200
Speaker 5: that would drive up oil prices.

61
00:02:53,720 --> 00:02:55,480
Speaker 3: What did you see tomorrow? Where do you see the

62
00:02:55,480 --> 00:02:58,000
Speaker 3: next day? They're going to be hit so hard, they're

63
00:02:58,000 --> 00:02:59,799
Speaker 3: going to be hit. They can talk all they want,

64
00:03:00,120 --> 00:03:02,800
Speaker 3: you know, let's see what they do. So they're going

65
00:03:02,840 --> 00:03:05,800
Speaker 3: to maybe do something having to do with the Straights.

66
00:03:05,919 --> 00:03:08,360
Speaker 3: I don't know, but say that being hit so hard

67
00:03:08,400 --> 00:03:10,120
Speaker 3: it'll take them twenty years to rebuild.

68
00:03:10,120 --> 00:03:12,000
Speaker 6: You have a very professional military. People are going to

69
00:03:12,080 --> 00:03:14,160
Speaker 6: do their jobs. They're going to do them very professionally.

70
00:03:15,840 --> 00:03:17,639
Speaker 6: I think there has to be some question about where

71
00:03:17,720 --> 00:03:19,840
Speaker 6: is this all leading. You know, what was the plan,

72
00:03:19,880 --> 00:03:22,040
Speaker 6: what is the strategy? And we've heard a number of

73
00:03:22,040 --> 00:03:24,760
Speaker 6: different versions of that. I think it's helpful from the

74
00:03:24,800 --> 00:03:28,320
Speaker 6: military to have a clear objective, a caleer mission. Julian

75
00:03:28,360 --> 00:03:30,920
Speaker 6: described the situation in the Straits very accurately. It's a

76
00:03:31,080 --> 00:03:33,240
Speaker 6: very tough problem. It's the problem we've been looking at.

77
00:03:33,720 --> 00:03:35,840
Speaker 6: I've been looking at in scenarios for twenty or thirty

78
00:03:35,880 --> 00:03:38,680
Speaker 6: years now. It's going to take a large force. I

79
00:03:38,680 --> 00:03:41,640
Speaker 6: think our military people are professionals, will understand that. And

80
00:03:41,640 --> 00:03:43,520
Speaker 6: you're probably gonna have to have a significant ground force,

81
00:03:43,520 --> 00:03:45,000
Speaker 6: and you probably have to stay there for a while,

82
00:03:45,000 --> 00:03:47,680
Speaker 6: and you're going to take a lot of casualty's doing that.

83
00:03:47,680 --> 00:03:49,840
Speaker 6: That's what it would take to get a determined to

84
00:03:50,000 --> 00:03:53,160
Speaker 6: on to a position where we could assure shipping get

85
00:03:53,160 --> 00:03:55,160
Speaker 6: It was safe to go through the streets, and that's

86
00:03:55,200 --> 00:03:56,680
Speaker 6: not where we are now, and I don't see a

87
00:03:56,680 --> 00:03:58,040
Speaker 6: career path to get there anytime soon.

88
00:03:59,000 --> 00:04:01,000
Speaker 7: This is a good time to do victory and get out,

89
00:04:01,040 --> 00:04:03,760
Speaker 7: and that is clearly what the markets would like to see.

90
00:04:04,280 --> 00:04:08,880
Speaker 7: You are seeing, however, a faction of people, i'd say

91
00:04:08,960 --> 00:04:11,280
Speaker 7: largely but not exclusively in the Republican Party, who want

92
00:04:11,280 --> 00:04:15,440
Speaker 7: to escalate the war, and we're calling for things like

93
00:04:16,120 --> 00:04:20,440
Speaker 7: ground troops or regime change, or they simply want the

94
00:04:20,440 --> 00:04:22,839
Speaker 7: pounding of Iran to just keep going on and on.

95
00:04:22,920 --> 00:04:24,760
Speaker 7: I saw an op ed in the Wall Street Journal

96
00:04:24,960 --> 00:04:26,840
Speaker 7: to that effect that we shouldn't try and find an

97
00:04:26,839 --> 00:04:29,479
Speaker 7: off feren we should just keep going with this. And

98
00:04:29,520 --> 00:04:31,520
Speaker 7: I just want to lay out I think some of

99
00:04:31,560 --> 00:04:36,520
Speaker 7: the risks of what an escalatory approach could entail. So,

100
00:04:36,640 --> 00:04:40,000
Speaker 7: first of all, we're all seeing that the straitsfor removes

101
00:04:40,000 --> 00:04:43,120
Speaker 7: are close right now. We don't want that to persist

102
00:04:43,360 --> 00:04:47,159
Speaker 7: longer than it has to. But there are actually worse

103
00:04:47,200 --> 00:04:51,520
Speaker 7: outcomes than that. So if the Iranians get hit, if

104
00:04:51,560 --> 00:04:55,040
Speaker 7: they're oil and gas infrastructure gets hit, they've already said

105
00:04:55,040 --> 00:04:58,159
Speaker 7: they're going to engage in tit for tat retaliation against

106
00:04:58,160 --> 00:05:01,400
Speaker 7: the Gold States, and we saw there was recently the

107
00:05:01,440 --> 00:05:05,120
Speaker 7: Iranians blew up this giant oil depot in Oman. You

108
00:05:05,160 --> 00:05:08,279
Speaker 7: saw some of those images. They could continue to target

109
00:05:08,400 --> 00:05:12,480
Speaker 7: the oil and gas infrastructure across the Gulf States, and

110
00:05:12,720 --> 00:05:15,040
Speaker 7: if that happens, it won't really matter if the straits

111
00:05:15,080 --> 00:05:17,440
Speaker 7: get reopened, because you won't be able to restart oil

112
00:05:17,480 --> 00:05:19,920
Speaker 7: and gas production in the Middle East. So that would

113
00:05:19,960 --> 00:05:22,839
Speaker 7: be I think a much worse outcome that could result

114
00:05:22,920 --> 00:05:27,560
Speaker 7: from escalation. Furthermore, there isn't even worse I think scenario

115
00:05:28,360 --> 00:05:31,080
Speaker 7: from there, which is the region is very dependent on

116
00:05:31,120 --> 00:05:35,200
Speaker 7: desalination plants. I think something like seventy percent of riadd

117
00:05:35,279 --> 00:05:37,840
Speaker 7: gets their water from desalination. I think it's something like

118
00:05:37,880 --> 00:05:40,840
Speaker 7: one hundred million people on the Arabian Peninsula that get

119
00:05:40,920 --> 00:05:44,160
Speaker 7: their water from deceel. I mean, it's basically a desert, right,

120
00:05:45,120 --> 00:05:47,760
Speaker 7: and those deesel plants are soft targets. You already saw

121
00:05:47,800 --> 00:05:50,080
Speaker 7: there was I think there was one deceel plant in

122
00:05:50,160 --> 00:05:52,600
Speaker 7: Iran that got hit and then it caused Iran again

123
00:05:52,640 --> 00:05:55,400
Speaker 7: to for tad to hit a de cell plant. I

124
00:05:55,400 --> 00:05:58,120
Speaker 7: think it was in Kueita. Cool off about that, But

125
00:05:58,160 --> 00:06:01,240
Speaker 7: in any event, if you see that type of destruction continue,

126
00:06:01,640 --> 00:06:06,280
Speaker 7: you could literally render the Gulf almost uninhabitable. I mean,

127
00:06:06,279 --> 00:06:08,400
Speaker 7: you're not gonna have enough water for one hundred million people,

128
00:06:08,839 --> 00:06:11,919
Speaker 7: and human beings just cannot survive very long without water.

129
00:06:12,120 --> 00:06:16,159
Speaker 7: So that would be a truly catastrophic scenario. And we're

130
00:06:16,200 --> 00:06:20,239
Speaker 7: talking about destroying the Golf States economically and then also

131
00:06:20,240 --> 00:06:23,400
Speaker 7: from a humanitarian perspective. So I think we have to

132
00:06:23,440 --> 00:06:25,679
Speaker 7: take things like this into account. When you hear people

133
00:06:25,760 --> 00:06:29,440
Speaker 7: preaching for or advocating for escalation, you also have to,

134
00:06:29,560 --> 00:06:32,560
Speaker 7: I think, consider the impacts on Israel. I mean, it's

135
00:06:32,560 --> 00:06:35,520
Speaker 7: hard to know exactly how much damage Israel is taking

136
00:06:35,600 --> 00:06:39,360
Speaker 7: right now, there's a social media blackout, but what you're

137
00:06:39,360 --> 00:06:42,000
Speaker 7: starting to hear trickle out is that Israel's getting hit

138
00:06:42,040 --> 00:06:44,559
Speaker 7: harder than they've ever been hit before in their history.

139
00:06:44,560 --> 00:06:45,720
Speaker 2: And we're only two weeks into this.

140
00:06:46,120 --> 00:06:51,279
Speaker 7: If this war continues for weeks or months, then Israel

141
00:06:51,360 --> 00:06:54,039
Speaker 7: could just be destroyed or very large parts of it. Now,

142
00:06:54,440 --> 00:06:57,560
Speaker 7: I think Israel is a harder target than the Golf States.

143
00:06:57,800 --> 00:07:01,400
Speaker 7: Their infrastructure is more hardened. Also, their orther away. The

144
00:07:01,440 --> 00:07:04,640
Speaker 7: Golf States are vulnerable to drones and shot range missiles,

145
00:07:04,680 --> 00:07:09,200
Speaker 7: whereas Israel is mainly vulnerable to long range missiles. Nonetheless,

146
00:07:09,320 --> 00:07:13,480
Speaker 7: at some point their air defenses could become exhausted if

147
00:07:13,480 --> 00:07:16,320
Speaker 7: it hasn't happened already, and Israel could get seriously destroyed.

148
00:07:16,360 --> 00:07:19,360
Speaker 7: And then you have to worry about Israel escalating the

149
00:07:19,400 --> 00:07:23,040
Speaker 7: war by contemplating using a nuclear weapon, which would truly

150
00:07:23,080 --> 00:07:27,440
Speaker 7: be catastrophic. So there's a lot of scenarios here, a

151
00:07:27,480 --> 00:07:32,440
Speaker 7: lot of really frightening scenarios about where escalation could lead.

152
00:07:33,120 --> 00:07:35,280
Speaker 7: And even though the United States is a much more

153
00:07:35,320 --> 00:07:38,560
Speaker 7: powerful country than Iran, they essentially have a dead man

154
00:07:38,720 --> 00:07:42,880
Speaker 7: switch over the economic fate of the Gulf States and

155
00:07:43,680 --> 00:07:46,800
Speaker 7: even potentially beyond that, you know the habitability of some

156
00:07:46,840 --> 00:07:47,920
Speaker 7: of these countries.

157
00:07:48,880 --> 00:07:51,160
Speaker 4: We are learning new details about yesterday's attack on the

158
00:07:51,200 --> 00:07:54,680
Speaker 4: Michigan Synagogue. Sources tel CNN that the assailant had previously

159
00:07:54,720 --> 00:07:58,480
Speaker 4: been flagged in US government databases for connections with the

160
00:07:58,560 --> 00:08:01,760
Speaker 4: terror group Hezbola. Joined now by CNN's chief Law enforcement

161
00:08:01,840 --> 00:08:05,880
Speaker 4: Intelligence analysts at John Miller. So, John, what was the

162
00:08:05,920 --> 00:08:08,080
Speaker 4: extent of the suspect's ties to Hesbola.

163
00:08:09,120 --> 00:08:11,880
Speaker 8: Well, the federal government said they had nothing to tie

164
00:08:12,080 --> 00:08:16,480
Speaker 8: him to Hesbelah, but he was tied through communications, telephone

165
00:08:16,520 --> 00:08:19,640
Speaker 8: records and other things to members of Hesbela, and this

166
00:08:19,800 --> 00:08:21,760
Speaker 8: came up when he came back from a trip to

167
00:08:21,840 --> 00:08:25,160
Speaker 8: Lebanon in twenty nineteen. He was flagged by the system

168
00:08:25,280 --> 00:08:29,800
Speaker 8: because of that note, and Customs and Border Protection people,

169
00:08:29,840 --> 00:08:32,560
Speaker 8: we are told by law enforcement sources, went through his

170
00:08:32,679 --> 00:08:36,600
Speaker 8: phone and found those HESBELA members' names in his contact list.

171
00:08:37,120 --> 00:08:40,360
Speaker 8: We also now know that his brothers and nephews were

172
00:08:40,480 --> 00:08:46,199
Speaker 8: killed in an Israeli strike against Hesbela targets just days

173
00:08:46,240 --> 00:08:50,240
Speaker 8: ago in Lebanon, so that really kind of points us

174
00:08:50,280 --> 00:08:53,079
Speaker 8: to a probable motive for this attack.

175
00:08:53,559 --> 00:08:55,120
Speaker 9: There's a few things we need to do. One, we

176
00:08:55,200 --> 00:08:58,559
Speaker 9: need to make sure the border remains closed. The deportations

177
00:08:58,640 --> 00:09:02,000
Speaker 9: need to continue, regardless of the Democrat whining about it.

178
00:09:02,640 --> 00:09:05,440
Speaker 9: They don't think that a sovereign country should ever be

179
00:09:05,440 --> 00:09:07,199
Speaker 9: able to tell people, you know, who can come and

180
00:09:07,240 --> 00:09:09,800
Speaker 9: who should have to leave. We should not relent on that.

181
00:09:10,120 --> 00:09:13,080
Speaker 9: And then also we need to reform our legal immigration system, Laura.

182
00:09:13,120 --> 00:09:15,240
Speaker 9: A lot of these people have come in legally. A

183
00:09:15,280 --> 00:09:18,079
Speaker 9: lot of American workers have been displaced by foreign workers,

184
00:09:18,200 --> 00:09:20,920
Speaker 9: a lot of American students have been displaced by these

185
00:09:21,040 --> 00:09:24,120
Speaker 9: visa mills at universities and tax breaks that companies get

186
00:09:24,160 --> 00:09:26,040
Speaker 9: after the fact. So we've got a lot of work

187
00:09:26,080 --> 00:09:28,280
Speaker 9: to do. But we clearly have laws right now that

188
00:09:28,400 --> 00:09:31,440
Speaker 9: need to be enforced. Federal law enforcement can enforce those.

189
00:09:31,559 --> 00:09:33,040
Speaker 9: And I just want to point out one thing, the

190
00:09:33,040 --> 00:09:37,600
Speaker 9: insanity of the sanctuary jurisdictions that they defend. It literally

191
00:09:37,679 --> 00:09:41,199
Speaker 9: means that this monster that stabbed the woman in Virginia

192
00:09:41,600 --> 00:09:44,560
Speaker 9: to death, who as a has thirty priors in a

193
00:09:44,600 --> 00:09:48,600
Speaker 9: legal immigrant, that governor will not tell federal law enforcement

194
00:09:48,679 --> 00:09:51,000
Speaker 9: or ICE when that person gets released from prison. They

195
00:09:51,040 --> 00:09:54,160
Speaker 9: will not tell federal law enforcement when rapist and murders

196
00:09:54,160 --> 00:09:55,320
Speaker 9: are released into our communities.

197
00:09:55,440 --> 00:09:58,680
Speaker 6: One of the objectives now is to keep gas prices

198
00:09:58,720 --> 00:10:00,760
Speaker 6: down to get shipping movie and the way to do

199
00:10:00,800 --> 00:10:02,640
Speaker 6: that is put troops on the ground and it run.

200
00:10:04,720 --> 00:10:06,600
Speaker 10: So it's a good question.

201
00:10:06,840 --> 00:10:09,640
Speaker 11: I mean, one thing we know about Donald Trump is

202
00:10:09,679 --> 00:10:13,080
Speaker 11: that he does not like a long conflict, right we

203
00:10:13,840 --> 00:10:16,520
Speaker 11: You know, this is what is so different about this

204
00:10:16,760 --> 00:10:20,560
Speaker 11: war right here. Venezuela was planned to be a very

205
00:10:20,960 --> 00:10:23,079
Speaker 11: short in and out operation.

206
00:10:23,480 --> 00:10:27,520
Speaker 10: He put a strict limit on his bombing of Iran

207
00:10:27,800 --> 00:10:28,520
Speaker 10: last year.

208
00:10:30,040 --> 00:10:33,880
Speaker 11: This seems potentially much more open ended.

209
00:10:34,360 --> 00:10:36,720
Speaker 10: We're now talking about ground troops.

210
00:10:37,400 --> 00:10:41,720
Speaker 11: But if we know Donald Trump, and everyone in America

211
00:10:41,760 --> 00:10:45,280
Speaker 11: is an expert on Donald Trump, we know that he

212
00:10:45,400 --> 00:10:49,600
Speaker 11: is going to probably bok before he really commits to

213
00:10:49,760 --> 00:10:53,160
Speaker 11: something that's going to be a long term presence on

214
00:10:53,200 --> 00:10:53,640
Speaker 11: the ground.

215
00:10:53,679 --> 00:10:56,199
Speaker 10: So I think it's too early to say that we're

216
00:10:56,240 --> 00:10:56,840
Speaker 10: going to have.

217
00:10:57,679 --> 00:11:01,400
Speaker 11: A marine operation taking one of the islands in the

218
00:11:01,480 --> 00:11:03,560
Speaker 11: Straits or doing something.

219
00:11:03,800 --> 00:11:05,640
Speaker 10: But we have to be asking these questions.

220
00:11:05,960 --> 00:11:07,959
Speaker 11: We have to try to figure out what their plan

221
00:11:08,120 --> 00:11:11,440
Speaker 11: is and what the options that people are putting before

222
00:11:11,520 --> 00:11:11,839
Speaker 11: him are.

223
00:11:14,600 --> 00:11:18,160
Speaker 2: This is the primal scream of a dying regime.

224
00:11:19,480 --> 00:11:22,719
Speaker 12: Pray for our enemies, because we're going to medieval on

225
00:11:22,800 --> 00:11:23,280
Speaker 12: these people.

226
00:11:24,480 --> 00:11:27,120
Speaker 2: He's not got a free shot. All these networks lying

227
00:11:27,920 --> 00:11:29,080
Speaker 2: about the people.

228
00:11:28,840 --> 00:11:30,320
Speaker 9: The people have had a belly full of it.

229
00:11:30,760 --> 00:11:31,800
Speaker 2: I know you don't like hearing that.

230
00:11:32,160 --> 00:11:33,480
Speaker 12: I know you try to do everything in the world

231
00:11:33,480 --> 00:11:34,760
Speaker 12: to stop that, but you're not going to stop that.

232
00:11:34,880 --> 00:11:35,960
Speaker 2: It's going to happen.

233
00:11:36,080 --> 00:11:38,280
Speaker 4: And where do people like that go to share the

234
00:11:38,320 --> 00:11:39,040
Speaker 4: big line?

235
00:11:39,559 --> 00:11:40,840
Speaker 13: Mega media?

236
00:11:40,960 --> 00:11:44,040
Speaker 4: I wish in my soul, I wish that any of

237
00:11:44,080 --> 00:11:45,679
Speaker 4: these people had a conscience.

238
00:11:46,360 --> 00:11:49,560
Speaker 2: Ask yourself, what is my task? And what is my purpose.

239
00:11:50,200 --> 00:11:54,400
Speaker 12: If that answer is to save my country, this country

240
00:11:54,640 --> 00:11:56,319
Speaker 12: will be saved.

241
00:11:56,400 --> 00:11:59,359
Speaker 13: War Room. Here's your host, Stephen.

242
00:11:59,080 --> 00:12:11,119
Speaker 12: Kvan Saturday, fourteen March earverl Ower, twenty twenty six overnight

243
00:12:11,280 --> 00:12:13,319
Speaker 12: one of the most intense, and I think you can

244
00:12:13,360 --> 00:12:15,520
Speaker 12: take it that virtually every day. And this is why

245
00:12:15,520 --> 00:12:20,160
Speaker 12: we're doing Sunday shows now to match our Saturday show

246
00:12:20,240 --> 00:12:23,880
Speaker 12: ten am to twelve noon Eastern daylight time in our

247
00:12:23,960 --> 00:12:28,400
Speaker 12: traditional morning slot, because every day it seems like the

248
00:12:28,880 --> 00:12:34,480
Speaker 12: kinetic part of this is ratcheting up the overnight a

249
00:12:34,520 --> 00:12:38,920
Speaker 12: strategic bombing of Carg Island to take out the military

250
00:12:38,960 --> 00:12:40,520
Speaker 12: infrastructure on Carg.

251
00:12:40,240 --> 00:12:41,000
Speaker 2: Island and not.

252
00:12:42,760 --> 00:12:47,600
Speaker 12: And to leave untouched or virtually untouched the ore refinery

253
00:12:47,679 --> 00:12:54,480
Speaker 12: and oil infrastructure capability of the Iranian regime. Ordered yesterday

254
00:12:54,840 --> 00:12:59,240
Speaker 12: an amphibious ready group out of Japan. The release that

255
00:12:59,240 --> 00:13:01,880
Speaker 12: they talked about five thousand, but they've only mentioned the

256
00:13:01,960 --> 00:13:08,240
Speaker 12: USS Tripoli twenty five hundred marines heading to with support

257
00:13:08,320 --> 00:13:13,280
Speaker 12: ships in combatants heading to heading to the North Arabian

258
00:13:13,320 --> 00:13:18,000
Speaker 12: Sea the Gulf of Oman in this bombing campaign. At

259
00:13:18,040 --> 00:13:22,840
Speaker 12: the same time, the Israelis leaked to Axios that they

260
00:13:22,840 --> 00:13:26,480
Speaker 12: were planning the most massive ground invasion for twenty since

261
00:13:26,520 --> 00:13:29,880
Speaker 12: two thousand and six into Lebanon, and that seems to

262
00:13:29,880 --> 00:13:32,080
Speaker 12: be in the playing stages, but the kinetic part of

263
00:13:32,080 --> 00:13:38,000
Speaker 12: this ratcheted up dramatically overnight. Also additional bombing targets in Tehran.

264
00:13:38,920 --> 00:13:42,960
Speaker 12: My understanding is Israel did get hit again last night.

265
00:13:43,360 --> 00:13:47,960
Speaker 12: I think you heard right there, David Sachs. David Sachs

266
00:13:47,240 --> 00:13:52,000
Speaker 12: is the cryptosar but also the artificial intelligence art. As

267
00:13:52,040 --> 00:13:54,240
Speaker 12: you know, we don't agree with David Sachs on many

268
00:13:54,240 --> 00:13:59,840
Speaker 12: many things, but I think that was a very you know,

269
00:14:00,040 --> 00:14:02,720
Speaker 12: rip from the pages of war room walk through. The

270
00:14:02,760 --> 00:14:07,360
Speaker 12: only thing I would say is that I think off ramps,

271
00:14:07,360 --> 00:14:09,199
Speaker 12: and we were one to discussed off ramps in the

272
00:14:09,280 --> 00:14:12,200
Speaker 12: first couple of days of this war. You're in it

273
00:14:12,280 --> 00:14:16,319
Speaker 12: now and particularly in it in the in the Persian Golf.

274
00:14:16,360 --> 00:14:18,560
Speaker 12: The center of gravity this war has shifted to the

275
00:14:18,559 --> 00:14:20,320
Speaker 12: oil and to the Persian golf.

276
00:14:20,920 --> 00:14:22,800
Speaker 2: We just will have a clip when we get back.

277
00:14:22,880 --> 00:14:23,880
Speaker 2: As soon as we came on.

278
00:14:24,640 --> 00:14:29,560
Speaker 12: Looks like u A an oil depot, depot or one

279
00:14:29,600 --> 00:14:33,240
Speaker 12: of their big refiners may have been hit just moments ago.

280
00:14:33,400 --> 00:14:38,560
Speaker 12: Also reports from Agency Free Press or Agency France Press

281
00:14:38,680 --> 00:14:43,960
Speaker 12: that ten ballistic missiles experimental or just practice ballistic missiles

282
00:14:44,280 --> 00:14:46,040
Speaker 12: fired by the North Koreans overnight.

283
00:14:46,080 --> 00:14:47,280
Speaker 2: We're gonna get to all of that.

284
00:14:47,920 --> 00:14:51,640
Speaker 12: Reagan Reese, the White House correspondent for the Daily Caller.

285
00:14:51,680 --> 00:14:53,920
Speaker 2: We'll join us after a short commercially.

286
00:15:00,080 --> 00:15:03,320
Speaker 13: War room. Here's your host, Stephen k Maas.

287
00:15:05,960 --> 00:15:09,400
Speaker 12: Okay, there is so much going on right now, and

288
00:15:09,440 --> 00:15:11,160
Speaker 12: we're gonna put this on a perspective of this.

289
00:15:11,440 --> 00:15:14,840
Speaker 2: Let's say this, as we have said.

290
00:15:15,920 --> 00:15:18,560
Speaker 12: Many times over against the last ten days or fourth

291
00:15:18,600 --> 00:15:20,120
Speaker 12: I think this is the fourteenth day of the war,

292
00:15:21,160 --> 00:15:22,240
Speaker 12: leaves the fourteenth day.

293
00:15:22,120 --> 00:15:22,520
Speaker 2: Of the war.

294
00:15:25,480 --> 00:15:29,360
Speaker 12: The center gravity of this, as we've said, has shifted

295
00:15:29,360 --> 00:15:33,160
Speaker 12: to the Golf, not just straights or her moves, but

296
00:15:33,200 --> 00:15:37,840
Speaker 12: the entire situation of our allies there David Sachs talking

297
00:15:37,840 --> 00:15:40,960
Speaker 12: about desalination and water, which this could quickly become more

298
00:15:40,960 --> 00:15:43,680
Speaker 12: of a water war even than an oil war of

299
00:15:43,680 --> 00:15:45,960
Speaker 12: the one hundred million people you know, living in the

300
00:15:46,080 --> 00:15:47,600
Speaker 12: in the Golf and the other environs.

301
00:15:49,040 --> 00:15:53,160
Speaker 2: Because this regime is in President Trump.

302
00:15:52,920 --> 00:15:54,640
Speaker 12: I think said our Piete said it the other day,

303
00:15:54,680 --> 00:15:58,080
Speaker 12: there's a bunch of rats cornered. Well, these these are

304
00:15:58,120 --> 00:16:01,600
Speaker 12: definitely cornered rats, and they're very tough onmbres and they

305
00:16:01,640 --> 00:16:04,800
Speaker 12: come from a messianic apocalyptic culture.

306
00:16:05,280 --> 00:16:06,600
Speaker 2: So they're going to fight to the end.

307
00:16:07,480 --> 00:16:09,480
Speaker 12: I don't think there's much surrender in these guys, so

308
00:16:10,200 --> 00:16:11,880
Speaker 12: you're just gonna have to hunker down for it.

309
00:16:12,960 --> 00:16:17,360
Speaker 2: But I just don't think, you know, oh, claiming victory.

310
00:16:17,480 --> 00:16:20,280
Speaker 12: Things we could have done, could have been possibilities in

311
00:16:20,320 --> 00:16:22,440
Speaker 12: the first four or five six days of this war.

312
00:16:22,480 --> 00:16:25,280
Speaker 12: I just don't think are possibilities now because this situation

313
00:16:26,320 --> 00:16:30,120
Speaker 12: in the Gulf, and of course you know the dramatic

314
00:16:30,200 --> 00:16:34,560
Speaker 12: nature of it, because of the calling up of the

315
00:16:34,560 --> 00:16:39,400
Speaker 12: the amphibious Ready Group yesterday, this bombing, and look, these things,

316
00:16:39,440 --> 00:16:42,800
Speaker 12: aren't they don't put these together in a couple hours.

317
00:16:42,920 --> 00:16:46,640
Speaker 12: That infamous reaty group is something they've thought through in

318
00:16:46,680 --> 00:16:47,400
Speaker 12: their planning.

319
00:16:47,840 --> 00:16:48,840
Speaker 2: It's down, you go down.

320
00:16:49,080 --> 00:16:50,480
Speaker 12: You know the list of what you do, and here's

321
00:16:50,480 --> 00:16:52,480
Speaker 12: what we're going to do, and maybe we need this now.

322
00:16:53,200 --> 00:16:55,880
Speaker 2: That's when you kick it in. Also, the bombing last night.

323
00:16:56,640 --> 00:17:00,400
Speaker 12: Appears have been so lethal and of course our it

324
00:17:00,440 --> 00:17:04,240
Speaker 12: shows you once again air supremacy or at least you know,

325
00:17:05,520 --> 00:17:12,040
Speaker 12: full scale air dominance over certain elements of Iran that

326
00:17:12,080 --> 00:17:18,000
Speaker 12: the military can pull it off with another tremendous expeditionary evolution,

327
00:17:18,359 --> 00:17:21,040
Speaker 12: just like the end of the Twelve Day War. But

328
00:17:21,119 --> 00:17:24,359
Speaker 12: this thing gets more and more complex every day, Reagan.

329
00:17:24,520 --> 00:17:27,000
Speaker 12: So Reagan, first off, the wife has correspondent. You've also

330
00:17:27,040 --> 00:17:28,640
Speaker 12: got a great piece of substick. I'm going to get

331
00:17:28,640 --> 00:17:29,960
Speaker 12: to in a moment about the Pentagon.

332
00:17:30,520 --> 00:17:31,320
Speaker 2: But how do you.

333
00:17:32,960 --> 00:17:35,240
Speaker 12: I want to give the raft team and my own

334
00:17:35,280 --> 00:17:39,239
Speaker 12: production team a hat tip because every day they are

335
00:17:39,320 --> 00:17:42,440
Speaker 12: curating everything that's going on in the world and curated

336
00:17:42,520 --> 00:17:46,600
Speaker 12: down to ten, twelve, thirteen, fourteen minutes of the best

337
00:17:46,680 --> 00:17:49,399
Speaker 12: video and are able to juxtapose what things are saying.

338
00:17:49,920 --> 00:17:51,680
Speaker 12: But that takes a team to go through it. And

339
00:17:52,119 --> 00:17:55,280
Speaker 12: these young people are very focused on every minute of

340
00:17:55,320 --> 00:17:59,520
Speaker 12: what's happening in this war. How does one juggle what's

341
00:17:59,520 --> 00:18:02,560
Speaker 12: happening between the White House, the press briefings, the Pentagon

342
00:18:03,359 --> 00:18:05,280
Speaker 12: when you've got so much else going on that President

343
00:18:05,280 --> 00:18:07,840
Speaker 12: Trump is doing, in addition that we are now fighting

344
00:18:08,359 --> 00:18:09,359
Speaker 12: a major conflict.

345
00:18:09,440 --> 00:18:09,760
Speaker 2: Ma'am.

346
00:18:11,160 --> 00:18:14,600
Speaker 14: Yeah, well, this is definitely the main focus and I

347
00:18:14,600 --> 00:18:18,000
Speaker 14: think the biggest thing that has happened in President Trump's

348
00:18:18,440 --> 00:18:22,680
Speaker 14: administration thus far. And so that is where my focus

349
00:18:22,840 --> 00:18:25,280
Speaker 14: is and I'm bouncing back and forth between the Pentagon

350
00:18:25,320 --> 00:18:28,320
Speaker 14: press briefings, the White House press briefings. If the White

351
00:18:28,320 --> 00:18:31,960
Speaker 14: House has background calls with officials, I'm jumping on those,

352
00:18:32,400 --> 00:18:35,040
Speaker 14: trying to meet with as many Pentagon sources as I

353
00:18:35,080 --> 00:18:38,600
Speaker 14: can on the side. You know, I'll admit it, I'm young.

354
00:18:38,800 --> 00:18:42,800
Speaker 14: This is my first time covering a war, and so

355
00:18:42,920 --> 00:18:45,520
Speaker 14: there's so much information, and there's also so much I

356
00:18:45,560 --> 00:18:47,480
Speaker 14: don't know, And so what we're trying to do right

357
00:18:47,520 --> 00:18:51,000
Speaker 14: now is one ask the questions that our audience wants

358
00:18:51,040 --> 00:18:53,359
Speaker 14: to know, what do they feel like is unanswered about

359
00:18:53,359 --> 00:18:56,560
Speaker 14: this war? And then also try to parse through the

360
00:18:56,600 --> 00:19:00,600
Speaker 14: administration's messaging on the Iranian war. I think it has

361
00:19:00,640 --> 00:19:04,639
Speaker 14: been it's been hard to follow. I am not completely

362
00:19:05,880 --> 00:19:10,800
Speaker 14: sure exactly what the objectives are left. What do we

363
00:19:10,920 --> 00:19:14,080
Speaker 14: still have left to achieve in this war? Why did

364
00:19:14,080 --> 00:19:18,120
Speaker 14: we strike exactly? Now? What was the real reasoning there?

365
00:19:18,160 --> 00:19:21,120
Speaker 14: We've heard several different things, So trying to get answers

366
00:19:21,200 --> 00:19:24,080
Speaker 14: on that front and then just on the White House

367
00:19:24,119 --> 00:19:27,040
Speaker 14: and all the other things that the president's doing. The

368
00:19:27,080 --> 00:19:31,480
Speaker 14: first press briefing that Caroline Levitz had after the United

369
00:19:31,520 --> 00:19:35,720
Speaker 14: States struck I ran. Everyone asked about Iran. I'd already

370
00:19:35,720 --> 00:19:38,520
Speaker 14: been into Pentagon press briefings at that point. I was

371
00:19:38,560 --> 00:19:40,639
Speaker 14: the only one who asked about a domestic issue. We

372
00:19:40,680 --> 00:19:43,199
Speaker 14: asked about the say that because that matters to the

373
00:19:43,200 --> 00:19:46,080
Speaker 14: American people too. They want to see the president talk

374
00:19:46,080 --> 00:19:49,800
Speaker 14: about domestic issues and care about those things. And so

375
00:19:50,359 --> 00:19:52,919
Speaker 14: just finding that balance of covering this war that is

376
00:19:52,960 --> 00:19:56,200
Speaker 14: going to impact people back home, but also highlighting those

377
00:19:56,240 --> 00:19:59,760
Speaker 14: domestic things that the American people desperately need the president

378
00:20:00,080 --> 00:20:00,719
Speaker 14: to focus on.

379
00:20:03,040 --> 00:20:03,080
Speaker 1: No.

380
00:20:03,240 --> 00:20:04,800
Speaker 12: I think it's this is why I wanted you on

381
00:20:04,880 --> 00:20:07,879
Speaker 12: this morning because, like breit Bart the Daily Caller, I

382
00:20:07,920 --> 00:20:13,120
Speaker 12: would say, is a institution that support has supported the president.

383
00:20:13,200 --> 00:20:15,320
Speaker 12: You've I think had a one on one with the

384
00:20:15,320 --> 00:20:17,080
Speaker 12: correct or wrong, didn't you? I think you did an

385
00:20:17,080 --> 00:20:19,919
Speaker 12: Oval Office interview one on one with the president. It

386
00:20:19,920 --> 00:20:22,760
Speaker 12: shows you the esteem that Caroline Levitt and the team

387
00:20:22,800 --> 00:20:26,040
Speaker 12: over there, Stephen Chung hold your reporting. And that's why

388
00:20:26,040 --> 00:20:30,480
Speaker 12: I think it's very fascinating, uh to uh the substack

389
00:20:30,560 --> 00:20:32,159
Speaker 12: that you did. And I want if we put the

390
00:20:32,200 --> 00:20:33,919
Speaker 12: substack up, here's what I would like to do. I

391
00:20:33,920 --> 00:20:36,160
Speaker 12: want to play a short clip we had the Pete

392
00:20:36,200 --> 00:20:38,320
Speaker 12: Hegsath clip from yesterday.

393
00:20:38,400 --> 00:20:39,080
Speaker 2: Is that ready.

394
00:20:38,920 --> 00:20:43,399
Speaker 12: Yet, okay, Anita, Yes, sir, No, okay, fine, thank you.

395
00:20:44,080 --> 00:20:47,040
Speaker 12: So let's go to your substack, ma'am. What is the

396
00:20:47,520 --> 00:20:49,919
Speaker 12: walk me through the substack? You wrote about Monday as

397
00:20:49,960 --> 00:20:51,560
Speaker 12: you covered the Pentagon on Monday.

398
00:20:52,600 --> 00:20:56,800
Speaker 14: Yes, so, as probably most of your viewers now, the

399
00:20:56,840 --> 00:21:01,080
Speaker 14: Pentagons shook up their press briefing room. They had people

400
00:21:01,200 --> 00:21:04,600
Speaker 14: sign an agreement on covering the Pentagon. It had its

401
00:21:04,600 --> 00:21:07,680
Speaker 14: set of rules. There are only a select view outlets

402
00:21:07,680 --> 00:21:10,680
Speaker 14: that chose to sign that agreement, and then a lot

403
00:21:10,680 --> 00:21:13,000
Speaker 14: of people, like the mainstream media didn't sign that agreement.

404
00:21:13,040 --> 00:21:15,600
Speaker 14: We at the Daily car we didn't actually sign that agreement.

405
00:21:16,400 --> 00:21:18,960
Speaker 14: But we've been working on our relationship with the Pentagon

406
00:21:19,000 --> 00:21:21,240
Speaker 14: to make sure that we can still be able to

407
00:21:21,640 --> 00:21:24,800
Speaker 14: get answers at press briefings and cover events and et cetera.

408
00:21:25,240 --> 00:21:27,840
Speaker 14: And so what this has done is, now that there

409
00:21:27,840 --> 00:21:31,399
Speaker 14: are press breethings being regularly held at the Pentagon, it

410
00:21:31,440 --> 00:21:34,800
Speaker 14: has put outlets like myself, those who have signed the agreement,

411
00:21:35,200 --> 00:21:39,520
Speaker 14: Real America's Voice, Lynde, l TV, et cetera, all in

412
00:21:39,560 --> 00:21:42,639
Speaker 14: the first two rows of the press briefing. It has

413
00:21:42,720 --> 00:21:46,879
Speaker 14: put all of the mainstream media outlets, ABC, CBS, you

414
00:21:47,000 --> 00:21:49,359
Speaker 14: name it, in the back of the room. And so

415
00:21:49,760 --> 00:21:53,240
Speaker 14: there have been four press breethings, I believe at the Pentagon,

416
00:21:53,800 --> 00:21:55,840
Speaker 14: and I have to tell you, Steve, it has been

417
00:21:56,119 --> 00:21:59,840
Speaker 14: so uncomfortable. I've never experienced anything like this. The mainstream

418
00:22:00,480 --> 00:22:05,480
Speaker 14: reporters they come in and they start loudly complaining and saying, oh,

419
00:22:05,800 --> 00:22:08,879
Speaker 14: I'm in the back of the room again, where's my CEO?

420
00:22:09,040 --> 00:22:10,920
Speaker 14: But's in the back of the room, and they're making

421
00:22:10,960 --> 00:22:14,640
Speaker 14: all these vocal complaints. And then they will walk around

422
00:22:14,880 --> 00:22:18,159
Speaker 14: the first two rows where me and my colleagues are

423
00:22:18,200 --> 00:22:22,080
Speaker 14: sitting Daily Wires also one of those outlets, Center Square

424
00:22:22,240 --> 00:22:25,840
Speaker 14: one American News, and they will look at each seat

425
00:22:25,880 --> 00:22:27,600
Speaker 14: in the front and second row and they're looking for

426
00:22:27,680 --> 00:22:31,000
Speaker 14: their name. They're all signed seating, and they'll, you know,

427
00:22:31,240 --> 00:22:33,439
Speaker 14: sigh and kind of huff and pop in our direction

428
00:22:33,640 --> 00:22:36,679
Speaker 14: when they don't find their seat in the first two rows.

429
00:22:37,760 --> 00:22:39,760
Speaker 14: There was a comment that was made at the last

430
00:22:39,760 --> 00:22:44,360
Speaker 14: press briefing on Friday. A mainstream media reporter was remarking

431
00:22:44,400 --> 00:22:48,280
Speaker 14: how he was excited at that regular media meaning them,

432
00:22:48,480 --> 00:22:51,600
Speaker 14: got called on more than the new media and outlets

433
00:22:51,640 --> 00:22:55,320
Speaker 14: like myself, and so I write in the piece, the

434
00:22:55,359 --> 00:22:57,600
Speaker 14: White House Press Corps is supposed to be the worst

435
00:22:57,600 --> 00:22:59,160
Speaker 14: of the worst. I've been a part of it for

436
00:22:59,200 --> 00:23:03,480
Speaker 14: three years now. I have never experienced anything this uncomfortable

437
00:23:03,640 --> 00:23:06,240
Speaker 14: and this petty than I have a Pentagon the last

438
00:23:06,320 --> 00:23:07,360
Speaker 14: couple of weeks.

439
00:23:09,160 --> 00:23:11,640
Speaker 2: Because those guys are dugging at the Pentagon. You'll you'll

440
00:23:11,680 --> 00:23:13,639
Speaker 2: find out that they are dug into that building. They

441
00:23:13,720 --> 00:23:14,560
Speaker 2: got the wrong way.

442
00:23:14,920 --> 00:23:17,800
Speaker 12: I want to but if I can make an observation,

443
00:23:18,080 --> 00:23:22,400
Speaker 12: I think that the new media, and look, you get

444
00:23:22,440 --> 00:23:25,120
Speaker 12: some softball questions you can tell or I'm not saying

445
00:23:25,119 --> 00:23:28,840
Speaker 12: their planet, but you get some softball questions from some.

446
00:23:28,760 --> 00:23:29,639
Speaker 2: Of the new media.

447
00:23:29,720 --> 00:23:33,600
Speaker 12: But by and large, I am very impressed with the

448
00:23:33,640 --> 00:23:35,639
Speaker 12: new media people that have come in of some of

449
00:23:35,640 --> 00:23:40,920
Speaker 12: the sharp questions and really questions asking for real analytics

450
00:23:41,560 --> 00:23:44,000
Speaker 12: to come out. And I think it's made I think

451
00:23:44,000 --> 00:23:47,880
Speaker 12: it's made the mainstream media guys even better because they

452
00:23:47,920 --> 00:23:50,280
Speaker 12: realize that, hey, there's some sharp young people here and

453
00:23:50,320 --> 00:23:52,520
Speaker 12: they're asking good questions. So I got to step up

454
00:23:52,560 --> 00:23:54,919
Speaker 12: for the Wall Street Journal or for the New York Times.

455
00:23:55,400 --> 00:23:57,560
Speaker 12: That's my observation. I don't know how it feels like

456
00:23:57,640 --> 00:24:00,320
Speaker 12: in the room, but we watch these every day very

457
00:24:00,320 --> 00:24:02,760
Speaker 12: closely and kind of go through it to curate. But

458
00:24:02,880 --> 00:24:05,080
Speaker 12: I think by and large the new media have come

459
00:24:05,080 --> 00:24:07,560
Speaker 12: in to say, hey, we got something to prove. I

460
00:24:07,560 --> 00:24:10,159
Speaker 12: think the questions have been great, buy and large, and

461
00:24:10,200 --> 00:24:14,240
Speaker 12: I think it's made the mainstream media. I'm not saying,

462
00:24:14,560 --> 00:24:16,960
Speaker 12: less snarky and more to get to the facts of

463
00:24:16,960 --> 00:24:19,000
Speaker 12: the matter than to give editorial comment.

464
00:24:19,080 --> 00:24:20,280
Speaker 2: Your thoughts on.

465
00:24:20,240 --> 00:24:25,639
Speaker 14: That, well, definitely. First I'll say I acknowledge some of

466
00:24:25,680 --> 00:24:28,080
Speaker 14: these reporters that are in the Pentagon Press briefing of

467
00:24:28,160 --> 00:24:31,440
Speaker 14: the mainstream media, they've actually been reporting in two war

468
00:24:31,560 --> 00:24:33,760
Speaker 14: zones and really have been in the thick of it,

469
00:24:33,880 --> 00:24:36,520
Speaker 14: and they have decades of experience. I don't have that.

470
00:24:36,960 --> 00:24:39,760
Speaker 14: I know I don't have that, But that doesn't make

471
00:24:39,800 --> 00:24:42,639
Speaker 14: the questions we've asked in the breathing room any less valid.

472
00:24:43,240 --> 00:24:45,440
Speaker 14: It's the same way that the White House has brought

473
00:24:45,440 --> 00:24:49,600
Speaker 14: in new outlets that have a different perspective. There are

474
00:24:49,680 --> 00:24:53,280
Speaker 14: questions from a different subset of America that need to

475
00:24:53,280 --> 00:24:55,960
Speaker 14: be asked, that they want to know. And so while

476
00:24:55,960 --> 00:24:57,920
Speaker 14: I've been in the Pentagon Press briefing room, we have

477
00:24:58,040 --> 00:25:01,920
Speaker 14: asked about what the act ual objectives are of this war.

478
00:25:02,040 --> 00:25:05,159
Speaker 14: What are we really trying to accomplish? If we wanted

479
00:25:05,200 --> 00:25:08,920
Speaker 14: the names of the US casualties and wanted more details

480
00:25:08,920 --> 00:25:12,040
Speaker 14: on how they were killed. Those are just two examples

481
00:25:12,080 --> 00:25:14,200
Speaker 14: of the questions that we're asking. We want to ask

482
00:25:14,280 --> 00:25:17,480
Speaker 14: more about drone attacks and the straight of horror moves

483
00:25:17,480 --> 00:25:21,000
Speaker 14: and how are you going to secure that All of

484
00:25:21,040 --> 00:25:23,800
Speaker 14: these things are, like you said, getting down to the

485
00:25:23,920 --> 00:25:27,720
Speaker 14: nitty gritty of war, but also talk about the things

486
00:25:27,760 --> 00:25:30,199
Speaker 14: that the Americans are wondering. Is this going to impact

487
00:25:30,200 --> 00:25:32,240
Speaker 14: them back home? What do they need to be prepared for?

488
00:25:32,760 --> 00:25:35,359
Speaker 14: And you know, the other thing I'll say is that

489
00:25:35,359 --> 00:25:38,439
Speaker 14: I think a lot of the new reporters are probably

490
00:25:38,480 --> 00:25:41,440
Speaker 14: a little bit younger. We adapt more to the social

491
00:25:41,520 --> 00:25:43,919
Speaker 14: media and stuff like that, and I can't imagine that

492
00:25:44,000 --> 00:25:47,720
Speaker 14: also creates some friction as well. Because we're using our

493
00:25:47,760 --> 00:25:50,719
Speaker 14: phones and using all the different platforms that we have

494
00:25:50,960 --> 00:25:55,320
Speaker 14: to create content and forcing the leg si media reporters

495
00:25:55,359 --> 00:25:58,080
Speaker 14: around us to adapt in that way, I think is

496
00:25:58,119 --> 00:25:59,840
Speaker 14: also causing some friction as well.

497
00:26:01,960 --> 00:26:04,919
Speaker 12: No, it's definitely, but I think it's I think friction often,

498
00:26:05,000 --> 00:26:06,800
Speaker 12: like on a movie set, friction is actually good.

499
00:26:06,880 --> 00:26:07,880
Speaker 2: It gets more creative.

500
00:26:07,920 --> 00:26:13,280
Speaker 12: Look the President still the fundamental way he puts things out. Besides,

501
00:26:13,320 --> 00:26:14,560
Speaker 12: these phone calls were reporters.

502
00:26:14,600 --> 00:26:15,760
Speaker 2: Has put it down our social media.

503
00:26:15,800 --> 00:26:17,520
Speaker 12: Reagan hangover a second, I want to drill down a

504
00:26:17,520 --> 00:26:21,280
Speaker 12: little bit on yesterday's press briefing over at the I

505
00:26:21,359 --> 00:26:24,359
Speaker 12: think was yesterday Thursday, and all blends together.

506
00:26:24,480 --> 00:26:27,080
Speaker 2: We'll get it up in a second. Reagan reeses with us.

507
00:26:27,119 --> 00:26:29,399
Speaker 12: She is the White House correspondent for the Daily Caller,

508
00:26:29,520 --> 00:26:34,720
Speaker 12: also covering some of the Pentagon briefings. And these young

509
00:26:34,720 --> 00:26:37,800
Speaker 12: people are think you're doing a great job hustling, finding information,

510
00:26:37,960 --> 00:26:42,320
Speaker 12: asking tough questions and getting pushback as they should.

511
00:26:43,560 --> 00:26:46,320
Speaker 2: Creative, the creative process.

512
00:26:46,040 --> 00:26:48,640
Speaker 12: Of going through and getting to the truth, because remember,

513
00:26:48,680 --> 00:26:52,160
Speaker 12: the truth is the first casualty in war.

514
00:26:52,320 --> 00:26:53,360
Speaker 2: Short commercial break back.

515
00:26:53,359 --> 00:27:02,240
Speaker 15: In the moment, the United States and South Korea are

516
00:27:02,240 --> 00:27:04,680
Speaker 15: in the middle of a joint military drill and North

517
00:27:04,760 --> 00:27:07,440
Speaker 15: Korea is not taking it lightly. But earlier in the

518
00:27:07,480 --> 00:27:11,480
Speaker 15: day Soul's Northern neighbor fight around of ten ballistic missiles

519
00:27:11,520 --> 00:27:14,240
Speaker 15: towards the East Sea. North Korea's missile launch was on

520
00:27:14,280 --> 00:27:18,000
Speaker 15: apparent flexing of muscles against the South Korean US joint

521
00:27:18,080 --> 00:27:22,359
Speaker 15: military exercise. According to South Koreans and the Japanese militaries.

522
00:27:22,400 --> 00:27:30,560
Speaker 15: The missiles were launched from North Korea's west coast. Now

523
00:27:30,600 --> 00:27:34,080
Speaker 15: Japan estimates that the missiles reached a maximum multitude of

524
00:27:34,160 --> 00:27:38,200
Speaker 15: eighty kilometers and flew approximately three hundred and forty kilometers

525
00:27:38,240 --> 00:27:41,399
Speaker 15: before landing near the east coast of the Korean Peninsula

526
00:27:41,480 --> 00:27:43,960
Speaker 15: and outside Tokyo's exclusive economic soil.

527
00:27:44,240 --> 00:27:47,320
Speaker 16: We'll get the smoke from a fire burning at an

528
00:27:47,320 --> 00:27:51,800
Speaker 16: oil port at the UAE. Debris from an intercepted drone

529
00:27:51,840 --> 00:27:54,000
Speaker 16: fell this morning near the strait of Hermo's officials say

530
00:27:54,000 --> 00:27:58,480
Speaker 16: no injuries were reported, though sources say some operations were suspended.

531
00:27:59,000 --> 00:28:02,520
Speaker 16: And this comes hour after US strikes on Iran's carg Island.

532
00:28:02,600 --> 00:28:06,040
Speaker 16: As Orin discussed, Iran has worn their ports and docks

533
00:28:06,040 --> 00:28:10,240
Speaker 16: in the UAE could be targeted. CNN's Paula Hancocks is

534
00:28:10,280 --> 00:28:13,119
Speaker 16: with US now from the UAE in Abu Dhabi.

535
00:28:13,119 --> 00:28:18,199
Speaker 17: What do you know, well, Victor, we've certainly seen the

536
00:28:18,280 --> 00:28:21,439
Speaker 17: UAE has been singled out for the most amount of

537
00:28:21,480 --> 00:28:24,120
Speaker 17: missiles and drones over the past two weeks, and now

538
00:28:24,400 --> 00:28:27,919
Speaker 17: another threat from Iranian officials that it will be targeted

539
00:28:28,480 --> 00:28:31,760
Speaker 17: even more. This is the latest that we have heard

540
00:28:32,119 --> 00:28:36,560
Speaker 17: from the spokesperson of the Armed Forces. It comes after

541
00:28:36,800 --> 00:28:40,400
Speaker 17: the US attack on carg Island, even though it was

542
00:28:40,480 --> 00:28:43,560
Speaker 17: military targets that were taken out. We did hear from

543
00:28:43,600 --> 00:28:47,000
Speaker 17: the US President saying it could be oil infrastructure next

544
00:28:47,360 --> 00:28:50,800
Speaker 17: if the straightorfor MOOSE is not back to normal. So

545
00:28:50,840 --> 00:28:54,400
Speaker 17: I'll quote what we heard from this statement, saying we

546
00:28:54,560 --> 00:28:58,080
Speaker 17: warned the UAE leadership that the Islamic Republic of Iran

547
00:28:58,240 --> 00:29:01,920
Speaker 17: views it as it's legitimate right to strike the origins

548
00:29:02,160 --> 00:29:06,600
Speaker 17: of American missile launches, those concealed in ports, docks and

549
00:29:06,720 --> 00:29:10,560
Speaker 17: shelters used by US forces under the cover of Emarati

550
00:29:10,720 --> 00:29:16,000
Speaker 17: cities in defense of its national sovereignty and territorial integrity.

551
00:29:16,240 --> 00:29:19,240
Speaker 17: Now it's worth pointing out that the UAE maintains that

552
00:29:19,360 --> 00:29:24,920
Speaker 17: its defensive posture remains unchanged. We certainly not heard anything

553
00:29:24,960 --> 00:29:29,000
Speaker 17: different to that, but Aroan feeling that some of these

554
00:29:29,040 --> 00:29:34,360
Speaker 17: missiles are coming from Emmorati territory, despite no confirmation or

555
00:29:34,400 --> 00:29:37,480
Speaker 17: suggestion that that is in fact accurate.

556
00:29:40,080 --> 00:29:42,000
Speaker 2: Okay, people know MBZ.

557
00:29:43,120 --> 00:29:46,960
Speaker 12: Really the leader of the UEE is our strongest ally,

558
00:29:47,000 --> 00:29:51,200
Speaker 12: at least military ally in the region. Also, sCOD Best

559
00:29:51,160 --> 00:29:53,440
Speaker 12: where we get to this more later. Epic Times is

560
00:29:53,480 --> 00:29:56,720
Speaker 12: going to join US sCOD Best and Secuary Treasury in Paris.

561
00:29:57,360 --> 00:30:00,240
Speaker 12: Even as we speak negotiating with the Chinese with a

562
00:30:00,320 --> 00:30:03,440
Speaker 12: trade deal. Looks like the State visitor is on. Will

563
00:30:03,520 --> 00:30:06,960
Speaker 12: deal more with that. You heard the situation in East

564
00:30:07,000 --> 00:30:11,000
Speaker 12: Asia with the North Koreans during our joint military exercise

565
00:30:11,040 --> 00:30:13,920
Speaker 12: with the South Koreans, and the South Korean Prime Minister

566
00:30:14,560 --> 00:30:17,680
Speaker 12: didn't get a lot of publicity. Actually went and met

567
00:30:17,720 --> 00:30:21,239
Speaker 12: with the President I think on Thursday, not really an

568
00:30:21,280 --> 00:30:23,080
Speaker 12: announced visit.

569
00:30:24,200 --> 00:30:26,520
Speaker 2: Reagan. Reese is going to stick with us and come

570
00:30:26,520 --> 00:30:27,200
Speaker 2: back in a second.

571
00:30:27,200 --> 00:30:29,040
Speaker 12: We're deal more with the Pentagon and some of the

572
00:30:29,160 --> 00:30:32,440
Speaker 12: not just messaging, but actually the action that's taking place

573
00:30:32,600 --> 00:30:36,920
Speaker 12: versus the description of the action. Human Khalili joins us

574
00:30:36,960 --> 00:30:40,840
Speaker 12: now from San Francisco. Thank you very much. We've got

575
00:30:40,840 --> 00:30:43,160
Speaker 12: some folks talk to us about what you're doing. It's

576
00:30:43,160 --> 00:30:46,840
Speaker 12: a fascinating project. We haven't dealt a lot with the

577
00:30:46,960 --> 00:30:49,320
Speaker 12: humanitarian side here in the war room. We've been very

578
00:30:49,320 --> 00:30:52,280
Speaker 12: focused on kind of the geopolitics, the economics of it

579
00:30:52,320 --> 00:30:54,920
Speaker 12: all and what's actually happened, how this thing is going

580
00:30:55,000 --> 00:30:57,800
Speaker 12: to play out. But you've got a project, and you're

581
00:30:57,800 --> 00:31:00,640
Speaker 12: going to be at Sea Pac next week to unfurl it.

582
00:31:00,680 --> 00:31:09,040
Speaker 2: Talk to us about your project. Okay, we have to

583
00:31:09,080 --> 00:31:09,800
Speaker 2: take you off meat.

584
00:31:11,800 --> 00:31:14,440
Speaker 18: Say two, Steve, thank you so much for having me.

585
00:31:14,640 --> 00:31:18,040
Speaker 12: Yeah, hold on, let's take let's yeah, let's take it

586
00:31:18,080 --> 00:31:18,560
Speaker 12: from the top.

587
00:31:18,640 --> 00:31:22,320
Speaker 18: Go ahead, Steve, thank you so much for having me.

588
00:31:22,520 --> 00:31:24,840
Speaker 18: It's a real honor to be here. I'm the only

589
00:31:24,960 --> 00:31:27,360
Speaker 18: artist in the world asked by the State of Israel

590
00:31:27,520 --> 00:31:30,480
Speaker 18: to make murals in support of the women of Iran.

591
00:31:30,960 --> 00:31:34,440
Speaker 18: I was born Muslim, I'm a Christian now and I

592
00:31:34,480 --> 00:31:37,400
Speaker 18: was raised in the San Francisco Bay area. I did

593
00:31:37,480 --> 00:31:41,520
Speaker 18: seventeen trips in twenty one months, and I unveiled eighteen

594
00:31:41,720 --> 00:31:45,840
Speaker 18: woman life Freedom murals in the Holy Land. These murals

595
00:31:45,880 --> 00:31:49,600
Speaker 18: show the world that Israel is the only country in

596
00:31:49,640 --> 00:31:53,000
Speaker 18: the Middle East that allows a mural with a woman's

597
00:31:53,000 --> 00:31:56,280
Speaker 18: hair to be shown. All right, well, I guess we're

598
00:31:56,280 --> 00:31:59,080
Speaker 18: going to get to the slides right now. In Iran,

599
00:31:59,320 --> 00:32:03,760
Speaker 18: if a woman shows her hair, the Supreme Leader said,

600
00:32:03,800 --> 00:32:06,960
Speaker 18: she's making war on God. And when you say the

601
00:32:07,000 --> 00:32:09,840
Speaker 18: words war on God, you are saying you can do

602
00:32:09,920 --> 00:32:13,000
Speaker 18: anything you want to that woman. So obviously shooting him

603
00:32:13,200 --> 00:32:16,760
Speaker 18: in the head is the most obvious choice. But one

604
00:32:16,760 --> 00:32:19,440
Speaker 18: of the things the Islamic regime does is they'll take

605
00:32:19,440 --> 00:32:21,959
Speaker 18: a gun and they'll shoot out one of the eyes

606
00:32:22,080 --> 00:32:24,560
Speaker 18: of a woman who shows her hair. This woman here,

607
00:32:24,600 --> 00:32:27,320
Speaker 18: her name is Gazol, and they shot out her eye.

608
00:32:27,800 --> 00:32:30,200
Speaker 18: And so I wanted the world to see this. But

609
00:32:30,480 --> 00:32:33,160
Speaker 18: I'm making art. You know, I'm an artist, So how

610
00:32:33,200 --> 00:32:35,680
Speaker 18: do I turn this into something beautiful? If you show

611
00:32:35,680 --> 00:32:40,400
Speaker 18: the next slide here, this is a mural that I

612
00:32:40,440 --> 00:32:43,320
Speaker 18: made in Netania. I worked with an artist named Benzi

613
00:32:43,400 --> 00:32:46,280
Speaker 18: Broffman who took my design and brought it to life.

614
00:32:46,480 --> 00:32:49,240
Speaker 18: The bird covering her eye is the Hoopo. It's mentioned

615
00:32:49,280 --> 00:32:52,400
Speaker 18: in the book of Leviticus to show that, hey, this

616
00:32:52,480 --> 00:32:56,120
Speaker 18: woman lost an eye, and just to show the world, hey,

617
00:32:56,160 --> 00:32:59,400
Speaker 18: this is the brutality of the Islamic regime towards its

618
00:32:59,440 --> 00:33:02,360
Speaker 18: own people. If they're this brutal to their own people,

619
00:33:02,600 --> 00:33:04,360
Speaker 18: how brutal are they going to be to the rest

620
00:33:04,400 --> 00:33:07,280
Speaker 18: of the world. If we could go to the next slide,

621
00:33:09,000 --> 00:33:13,440
Speaker 18: this is President Raysi, the former president of Iran. This

622
00:33:13,560 --> 00:33:17,840
Speaker 18: man is responsible for killing twenty thousand of his own people,

623
00:33:17,960 --> 00:33:21,480
Speaker 18: twenty thousand, many of them women, For showing their hair.

624
00:33:22,240 --> 00:33:26,440
Speaker 18: His helicopter mysteriously crashed in the Albores Mountains. For we

625
00:33:26,440 --> 00:33:30,760
Speaker 18: go to the next slide. This is all of the

626
00:33:30,760 --> 00:33:34,720
Speaker 18: women he killed using their hair to pull down his helicopter.

627
00:33:35,400 --> 00:33:39,880
Speaker 18: Now in this design here, there's a Bible verse Jeremiah

628
00:33:39,920 --> 00:33:42,800
Speaker 18: forty nine thirty eight. In the Bible, there's a theme,

629
00:33:43,000 --> 00:33:45,880
Speaker 18: and the theme is God says, over and over again,

630
00:33:46,040 --> 00:33:48,400
Speaker 18: I'm gonna put my throne in Jerusalem. I'm gonna put

631
00:33:48,440 --> 00:33:50,840
Speaker 18: my throne in Zion. I'm gonna put my throne in Israel.

632
00:33:51,200 --> 00:33:53,640
Speaker 18: But in Jeremiah forty nine thirty eight, God says, I'm

633
00:33:53,640 --> 00:33:56,760
Speaker 18: gonna set my throne in Elam and destroy her king

634
00:33:56,800 --> 00:33:59,640
Speaker 18: and officials declares the Lord, Well, Elam is the ancient

635
00:33:59,680 --> 00:34:03,000
Speaker 18: name of Iran. And to fulfill that Bible verse, I

636
00:34:03,080 --> 00:34:06,240
Speaker 18: put in the hand of God like God is destroying

637
00:34:06,320 --> 00:34:08,720
Speaker 18: the kings and officials of Iran.

638
00:34:08,920 --> 00:34:10,480
Speaker 2: Yeah, go to the next slide.

639
00:34:10,800 --> 00:34:14,279
Speaker 12: So hangover, hang, hangover, second hangers for former slides. We

640
00:34:14,400 --> 00:34:16,759
Speaker 12: just I want to make sure the audience that we

641
00:34:16,960 --> 00:34:20,480
Speaker 12: framed this properly. You're actually Persian, correct, I mean you

642
00:34:20,719 --> 00:34:24,439
Speaker 12: your family or your mom left when the shaw fell.

643
00:34:25,640 --> 00:34:29,040
Speaker 18: Yeah, So yeah, I was born in Iran. My mom

644
00:34:29,160 --> 00:34:31,960
Speaker 18: escaped with one suitcase five thousand dollars three year old

645
00:34:31,960 --> 00:34:34,719
Speaker 18: boy in nineteen seventy eight, six months before the Shaw fell.

646
00:34:34,880 --> 00:34:35,799
Speaker 2: That's exactly right.

647
00:34:37,320 --> 00:34:41,279
Speaker 12: As much as this may, you know, confront us as Westerners,

648
00:34:42,040 --> 00:34:45,279
Speaker 12: is there because right now you have not seen any

649
00:34:45,320 --> 00:34:48,920
Speaker 12: real uprising. I mean, the one of the I don't

650
00:34:48,960 --> 00:34:52,200
Speaker 12: call it bets, but one of the premises I think

651
00:34:52,200 --> 00:34:54,080
Speaker 12: of a lot of the initial military action.

652
00:34:54,600 --> 00:34:59,520
Speaker 2: You just had net Nyahu on national TV in Israel.

653
00:34:59,200 --> 00:35:02,280
Speaker 12: The other day, although don't know if his message resonates

654
00:35:02,280 --> 00:35:04,920
Speaker 12: into Iran much, but he called for an uprising.

655
00:35:04,480 --> 00:35:05,080
Speaker 2: In the streets.

656
00:35:05,440 --> 00:35:09,520
Speaker 12: We haven't seen nearly the uprising. We saw a couple

657
00:35:09,600 --> 00:35:12,000
Speaker 12: about a month ago in late January where twenty or

658
00:35:12,000 --> 00:35:16,120
Speaker 12: thirty thousand were killed. But it is because of the bombing.

659
00:35:16,360 --> 00:35:19,239
Speaker 12: Has this become more of a Persian nationalist and that

660
00:35:20,000 --> 00:35:23,480
Speaker 12: all of the obviously crimes against the Iranian people, as

661
00:35:23,520 --> 00:35:26,560
Speaker 12: you show in your art, and particularly against women, focus

662
00:35:26,600 --> 00:35:29,720
Speaker 12: a lot of it on women. Is that really moving

663
00:35:29,760 --> 00:35:32,680
Speaker 12: people right now or they kind of dug in and

664
00:35:32,719 --> 00:35:33,680
Speaker 12: supporting the regime.

665
00:35:35,360 --> 00:35:38,040
Speaker 18: No, So I think one of the things we have

666
00:35:38,120 --> 00:35:40,880
Speaker 18: to agree upon is in Iran. Only the bad guys

667
00:35:40,880 --> 00:35:43,880
Speaker 18: have guns. And so you have two million people with

668
00:35:44,040 --> 00:35:49,240
Speaker 18: guns holding down ninety million people. This whole idea of

669
00:35:49,280 --> 00:35:52,080
Speaker 18: the people rising up, It is possible, and they can

670
00:35:52,239 --> 00:35:55,560
Speaker 18: rise up, but the people of Iran need to be armed.

671
00:35:55,920 --> 00:35:58,479
Speaker 18: If we can show the next slide, let me show

672
00:35:58,480 --> 00:36:01,880
Speaker 18: you the mural that I just unit in Indiana, across

673
00:36:01,920 --> 00:36:05,799
Speaker 18: the street from where the Indianapolis Colts play. If you

674
00:36:05,880 --> 00:36:08,960
Speaker 18: have that slide ready. This woman's name is Nika Shakarami.

675
00:36:09,040 --> 00:36:11,279
Speaker 18: She was killed at fifteen years old. I just want

676
00:36:11,320 --> 00:36:13,280
Speaker 18: you to see what she looks like in real life.

677
00:36:13,360 --> 00:36:17,399
Speaker 18: Now show the mural the next slide. Here is her

678
00:36:17,520 --> 00:36:20,440
Speaker 18: holding an AK forty seven with a flag behind her,

679
00:36:20,680 --> 00:36:23,800
Speaker 18: and the flag says President Trump armed the women of Iran.

680
00:36:24,400 --> 00:36:27,759
Speaker 18: The Americans have armed women in the past. They do

681
00:36:27,840 --> 00:36:33,200
Speaker 18: it in Syria. Right to hold back? Isis they armed

682
00:36:33,200 --> 00:36:36,640
Speaker 18: the Kurdish women there and so and here you see

683
00:36:36,760 --> 00:36:40,399
Speaker 18: esthers rise up. This whole idea of the esters rising up.

684
00:36:40,880 --> 00:36:44,399
Speaker 18: So this whole idea of yes, the people can rise up,

685
00:36:44,640 --> 00:36:47,919
Speaker 18: but give them a chance to defend themselves. Give them

686
00:36:48,320 --> 00:36:52,480
Speaker 18: some sort of weapons, because right now it's not a

687
00:36:52,520 --> 00:36:54,800
Speaker 18: fair fight. And I know you said twenty or thirty

688
00:36:54,880 --> 00:36:58,239
Speaker 18: thousand were killed, but honestly, all of us Persians know

689
00:36:58,520 --> 00:37:02,320
Speaker 18: it's fifty thousand plus. We're killed in three days in Iran.

690
00:37:02,600 --> 00:37:05,200
Speaker 18: This is a massacre. And the reason is because the

691
00:37:05,239 --> 00:37:08,719
Speaker 18: bad guys, the Islamic regime of Iran, they all have

692
00:37:08,840 --> 00:37:13,320
Speaker 18: guns and the people don't, and they're getting slaughtered for

693
00:37:13,600 --> 00:37:17,399
Speaker 18: protesting peacefully. And what these murals do so is they

694
00:37:17,480 --> 00:37:18,879
Speaker 18: give a voice to the.

695
00:37:18,840 --> 00:37:20,320
Speaker 10: People who have no voice.

696
00:37:20,640 --> 00:37:23,799
Speaker 18: It lets them see that they are not so yten Oh,

697
00:37:23,800 --> 00:37:24,680
Speaker 18: go ahead, please right?

698
00:37:26,080 --> 00:37:27,759
Speaker 2: So no are you calling for now?

699
00:37:28,320 --> 00:37:31,640
Speaker 12: Is that the purpose of the murals is to make

700
00:37:31,680 --> 00:37:34,439
Speaker 12: sure people understand that there are freedom fighters. There are

701
00:37:34,719 --> 00:37:36,600
Speaker 12: let me say a different way. There are people that

702
00:37:37,239 --> 00:37:41,680
Speaker 12: adamantly oppose the Islamic theocracy they've lived under for forty

703
00:37:41,680 --> 00:37:44,960
Speaker 12: seven years, and they're prepared to act. But you're saying

704
00:37:45,000 --> 00:37:47,880
Speaker 12: that they need arms, that the somehow, either the Israelis

705
00:37:47,960 --> 00:37:50,880
Speaker 12: or the Americans somehow have to get a massive amount

706
00:37:50,880 --> 00:37:53,200
Speaker 12: of arms into Iran so they.

707
00:37:53,120 --> 00:37:54,879
Speaker 13: Can I think that would make it here at.

708
00:37:54,840 --> 00:37:56,359
Speaker 2: Least have somewhat near a fair fight.

709
00:37:57,480 --> 00:38:00,000
Speaker 18: Look, I'm not pro war. I'm not a guy who

710
00:38:00,120 --> 00:38:03,200
Speaker 18: wants I'm an American. I love this country. I don't

711
00:38:03,200 --> 00:38:06,240
Speaker 18: want American troops on the ground either. But the only

712
00:38:06,320 --> 00:38:09,800
Speaker 18: way for this to be balanced, for this to be

713
00:38:09,920 --> 00:38:14,760
Speaker 18: fair is, yeah, give the people. America's armed people throughout history,

714
00:38:15,239 --> 00:38:17,400
Speaker 18: and so yeah, give them a chance, give them a

715
00:38:17,480 --> 00:38:21,360
Speaker 18: chance to fight and defend themselves. Since this uprising, what

716
00:38:21,480 --> 00:38:25,200
Speaker 18: have the the people done. They've burned down mosques, They've said,

717
00:38:25,440 --> 00:38:28,400
Speaker 18: we don't want this religion in our country anymore, you know.

718
00:38:28,880 --> 00:38:32,239
Speaker 18: And I'm not advocating for war. I'm not advocating for

719
00:38:32,400 --> 00:38:36,040
Speaker 18: death anything like that. But all I'm saying is strength

720
00:38:36,320 --> 00:38:40,680
Speaker 18: through defense. Let let this be the movement, strength through defense.

721
00:38:41,040 --> 00:38:43,840
Speaker 18: Give the men and the women a chance to defend themselves,

722
00:38:44,160 --> 00:38:46,920
Speaker 18: put a gun in their hand so that maybe, just

723
00:38:47,120 --> 00:38:52,200
Speaker 18: maybe they themselves can overthrow the Islamic regime. And I

724
00:38:52,280 --> 00:38:53,040
Speaker 18: just want to say.

725
00:38:52,960 --> 00:38:56,040
Speaker 12: To you see any hang hang on, hang on, hang on,

726
00:38:56,239 --> 00:39:00,799
Speaker 12: hang on, slow down. Do you see any chanceants, as

727
00:39:00,840 --> 00:39:05,800
Speaker 12: you know, people and cousins and other relatives in Tehran

728
00:39:06,040 --> 00:39:09,880
Speaker 12: in Persia, do you see any chance of us just

729
00:39:09,920 --> 00:39:16,080
Speaker 12: being able to bomb the Revolutionary Guard or the Mulahs

730
00:39:16,160 --> 00:39:19,920
Speaker 12: or the aetolas. Although we've obviously, Pete said, we've dramatically

731
00:39:19,920 --> 00:39:21,839
Speaker 12: injured the replacement the sun.

732
00:39:22,440 --> 00:39:24,040
Speaker 2: You see any we got about a minute. I'll hold

733
00:39:24,040 --> 00:39:24,520
Speaker 2: it through the break.

734
00:39:24,520 --> 00:39:28,319
Speaker 12: Do you see any possibility of this collapsing unless you

735
00:39:28,440 --> 00:39:32,359
Speaker 12: have either massive arming of the Iranian people to take

736
00:39:32,400 --> 00:39:35,360
Speaker 12: their fight on, or some sort of ground combat that

737
00:39:35,480 --> 00:39:37,440
Speaker 12: has to take these guys on mano amano.

738
00:39:38,800 --> 00:39:41,440
Speaker 18: I've heard analysts, even on your show say this is

739
00:39:41,640 --> 00:39:45,200
Speaker 18: a battle of attrition, and so it is possible through

740
00:39:45,280 --> 00:39:49,240
Speaker 18: bombing and blowing up the horrible people at the checkpoints. Yes,

741
00:39:49,400 --> 00:39:52,440
Speaker 18: but it will take a long time. If you arm

742
00:39:52,520 --> 00:39:54,680
Speaker 18: the people of Iran and you give them a chance

743
00:39:54,760 --> 00:39:58,400
Speaker 18: to fight back and defend themselves, this could go a

744
00:39:58,440 --> 00:40:01,200
Speaker 18: lot faster. I think America is going to run out

745
00:40:01,200 --> 00:40:05,759
Speaker 18: of bullets or military power, or food or supplies. But

746
00:40:06,440 --> 00:40:10,080
Speaker 18: I understand from watching your show Trump likes to have

747
00:40:10,160 --> 00:40:14,800
Speaker 18: quick wars. He doesn't want anything drawn out, and so yes,

748
00:40:14,880 --> 00:40:18,680
Speaker 18: it can happen through you know, bombing and shooting. But

749
00:40:18,960 --> 00:40:21,840
Speaker 18: you know us Persians are hoping, let's not kill the

750
00:40:21,880 --> 00:40:24,920
Speaker 18: patient while we remove the cancer. Let's keep the patient

751
00:40:24,960 --> 00:40:27,279
Speaker 18: alive and remove the cancer at the same time.

752
00:40:29,680 --> 00:40:31,000
Speaker 12: Can you hanger for one second? I know you get

753
00:40:31,000 --> 00:40:33,720
Speaker 12: a bounce for the airport. I have you through the break.

754
00:40:34,160 --> 00:40:36,040
Speaker 12: I just want to okay, cool, what you're going to

755
00:40:36,080 --> 00:40:39,200
Speaker 12: take a short commercial break? Take your phone out now.

756
00:40:39,239 --> 00:40:41,360
Speaker 12: More than ever, you might want to know why gold

757
00:40:41,440 --> 00:40:44,000
Speaker 12: is a hedge. A lot of talk about in fact

758
00:40:44,000 --> 00:40:47,360
Speaker 12: a report I think it was in Reuters that the

759
00:40:47,840 --> 00:40:50,640
Speaker 12: regime is saying that any oil that passes through the

760
00:40:50,640 --> 00:40:53,160
Speaker 12: straits or removes because Scott Beszen said they are allowing

761
00:40:53,200 --> 00:40:56,120
Speaker 12: some through has to be has to be paid for

762
00:40:56,880 --> 00:40:59,200
Speaker 12: in the Chinese currency, not US dollars.

763
00:41:00,520 --> 00:41:03,240
Speaker 13: Really, here's your host, Stephen.

764
00:41:02,880 --> 00:41:03,600
Speaker 17: K Bath.

765
00:41:06,040 --> 00:41:09,440
Speaker 2: Who non Kalali is an artist. He's going to be

766
00:41:09,520 --> 00:41:11,680
Speaker 2: at sea pack. He's gonna unfurrol.

767
00:41:12,680 --> 00:41:15,040
Speaker 12: Some of these banners so people can see you get

768
00:41:15,080 --> 00:41:16,440
Speaker 12: to meet him and see his work.

769
00:41:16,920 --> 00:41:17,680
Speaker 2: Here's the question.

770
00:41:18,080 --> 00:41:20,520
Speaker 12: They have been in Israel and they've been unfurling they've

771
00:41:20,520 --> 00:41:23,360
Speaker 12: been putting up there. Do the Persian people, the people

772
00:41:23,360 --> 00:41:26,960
Speaker 12: in Tehran would is that helping your cause of getting

773
00:41:26,960 --> 00:41:30,200
Speaker 12: the message out to really get it back to people

774
00:41:30,280 --> 00:41:33,680
Speaker 12: in Tehran, particularly women, that there are people on your

775
00:41:33,760 --> 00:41:37,000
Speaker 12: side or is doing an Israel look like you're.

776
00:41:38,440 --> 00:41:42,120
Speaker 2: Collaborating with one of their tourmenters.

777
00:41:41,800 --> 00:41:46,359
Speaker 18: Sir, right, So I try to get these murals up

778
00:41:46,440 --> 00:41:50,839
Speaker 18: in the UAE, in Saudi Arabia, Lebanon, Afghanistan, Katar, and

779
00:41:50,960 --> 00:41:53,440
Speaker 18: they said, absolutely not. You cannot put up a mural

780
00:41:53,480 --> 00:41:56,399
Speaker 18: with a woman's hair showing. So Israel is the only

781
00:41:56,440 --> 00:41:59,200
Speaker 18: country that welcomed me. This has nothing to do with

782
00:41:59,360 --> 00:42:02,880
Speaker 18: collaborating with whoever's terrorizing them. This has to do with

783
00:42:03,000 --> 00:42:05,959
Speaker 18: letting the people know that they're not forgotten. Their sacrifices

784
00:42:06,400 --> 00:42:09,720
Speaker 18: is not for nothing. And putting a person's face who's

785
00:42:09,760 --> 00:42:15,359
Speaker 18: been murdered in Jerusalem or Nazareth or the Sea of Galilee,

786
00:42:16,120 --> 00:42:18,600
Speaker 18: I mean, it warms their heart. It gives them a

787
00:42:18,640 --> 00:42:21,200
Speaker 18: hope and a joy that they wouldn't have if that

788
00:42:21,320 --> 00:42:25,920
Speaker 18: mural wasn't there. The Islamic regime is really upset with

789
00:42:26,000 --> 00:42:29,880
Speaker 18: these murals. I sent you one last slide after I

790
00:42:29,920 --> 00:42:33,319
Speaker 18: did my fourth mural, and I was number fifty or

791
00:42:33,360 --> 00:42:36,640
Speaker 18: sixty to the game. The Islamic regime unveiled their own

792
00:42:36,760 --> 00:42:40,120
Speaker 18: mural and this is in direct response to the murals

793
00:42:40,160 --> 00:42:43,759
Speaker 18: I made in Israel. And this is a picture of

794
00:42:43,800 --> 00:42:47,000
Speaker 18: an atomic bomb. And on the atomic bomb, the Islamic

795
00:42:47,040 --> 00:42:50,880
Speaker 18: regime wrote four hundred seconds to Tel Aviv in Hebrew.

796
00:42:51,520 --> 00:42:55,000
Speaker 18: Now They hadn't done anything like this until four murals

797
00:42:55,000 --> 00:42:59,800
Speaker 18: went up in Israel, and so these murals provoke a

798
00:42:59,840 --> 00:43:03,440
Speaker 18: response out of them. And you know, look, none of

799
00:43:03,520 --> 00:43:08,000
Speaker 18: us are want a war, but unless you root out

800
00:43:08,120 --> 00:43:12,239
Speaker 18: what's happening with the Islamic regime of Iran, they're going

801
00:43:12,320 --> 00:43:15,040
Speaker 18: to come back, and they're going to come back even stronger.

802
00:43:15,360 --> 00:43:17,799
Speaker 18: And I want to say a sincere thank you to

803
00:43:18,120 --> 00:43:23,520
Speaker 18: the fine people at Patriot Mobile, especially the COO Jenny,

804
00:43:23,560 --> 00:43:26,640
Speaker 18: because she sees what the women of Iran are dealing

805
00:43:26,680 --> 00:43:29,960
Speaker 18: with and she's empathizing with them, and she's saying, we

806
00:43:30,280 --> 00:43:33,279
Speaker 18: at our company stand with those women. We do not

807
00:43:33,520 --> 00:43:36,680
Speaker 18: want what's happening there to come here, and none of

808
00:43:36,760 --> 00:43:39,719
Speaker 18: us Persians do. One of the things you have seen

809
00:43:40,080 --> 00:43:44,200
Speaker 18: on social media is every Iranian who didn't vote for

810
00:43:44,280 --> 00:43:48,520
Speaker 18: Trump coming online and saying thank you, Donald Trump, thank

811
00:43:48,560 --> 00:43:52,640
Speaker 18: you for freeing our people, thank you for killing the Ayatola.

812
00:43:53,120 --> 00:43:56,560
Speaker 18: You have more Republican Persians as a result of this,

813
00:43:56,960 --> 00:44:00,960
Speaker 18: and they are using their platforms to amplify their joy

814
00:44:01,160 --> 00:44:03,480
Speaker 18: and their thanks of Donald Trump.

815
00:44:05,760 --> 00:44:07,120
Speaker 12: Let me ask you, I just want to make sure

816
00:44:07,120 --> 00:44:10,760
Speaker 12: I got this. You went to our great allies UAE

817
00:44:11,000 --> 00:44:13,600
Speaker 12: and cutter, and both of those turned you down for

818
00:44:13,680 --> 00:44:17,960
Speaker 12: putting up any banners that showed women showing their hair.

819
00:44:18,680 --> 00:44:21,400
Speaker 18: That's exactly right. And if you can look, if you

820
00:44:21,480 --> 00:44:23,880
Speaker 18: have access to these places and you say, hey, I

821
00:44:23,920 --> 00:44:26,160
Speaker 18: want this kid to put a woman life freedom mural

822
00:44:26,440 --> 00:44:29,359
Speaker 18: in your country, I will do it. Because my goal

823
00:44:29,440 --> 00:44:33,080
Speaker 18: right now is college campuses. I want these murals on

824
00:44:33,200 --> 00:44:35,480
Speaker 18: all the color I got one up at Rice University.

825
00:44:35,880 --> 00:44:41,560
Speaker 18: I wanted up at Columbia, Harvard, Mit, Penn, Stanford. You know,

826
00:44:41,880 --> 00:44:42,440
Speaker 18: I want to.

827
00:44:42,440 --> 00:44:43,440
Speaker 2: Cover this country.

828
00:44:43,719 --> 00:44:46,360
Speaker 18: If I have access to the federal land and I

829
00:44:46,360 --> 00:44:49,239
Speaker 18: can get a mural in Dearborn, Michigan, I will go

830
00:44:49,280 --> 00:44:52,719
Speaker 18: to Dearborn, Michigan and say these are the modern day,

831
00:44:52,960 --> 00:44:56,360
Speaker 18: real life superheroes, these women of Iran who have the

832
00:44:56,440 --> 00:44:58,719
Speaker 18: guts to show their hair, even though they're going to

833
00:44:58,800 --> 00:45:00,640
Speaker 18: get their eyeshot out, even tho they're going to get

834
00:45:00,680 --> 00:45:02,799
Speaker 18: raped in prison, even though they're going to get shot

835
00:45:02,800 --> 00:45:05,760
Speaker 18: in the headette.

836
00:45:05,760 --> 00:45:07,759
Speaker 12: Where do people go to find out more about your art,

837
00:45:07,800 --> 00:45:09,640
Speaker 12: more about you, more about your crusade?

838
00:45:09,680 --> 00:45:11,719
Speaker 2: Here to make sure that this is shown all over

839
00:45:11,760 --> 00:45:12,760
Speaker 2: the world, sir.

00:45:13,760 --> 00:45:17,240
Speaker 18: Yes, So I have a website. It's human dot tv.

842
00:45:21,880 --> 00:45:24,759

844
00:45:30,360 --> 00:45:34,400
Speaker 18: I will be at sea Pack, hopefully right next to

845
00:45:34,719 --> 00:45:39,000
Speaker 18: his booth with a new banner and uh, you know,

846
00:45:39,120 --> 00:45:40,799
Speaker 18: I'm going to have a camera crew there and I'm

847
00:45:40,800 --> 00:45:43,000
Speaker 18: going to interview you find folks and say what do

848
00:45:43,080 --> 00:45:45,480
Speaker 18: you think should should we be arming the women of

849
00:45:45,480 --> 00:45:48,719
Speaker 18: her on? Should we give them a chance to defend themselves?

850
00:45:50,640 --> 00:45:50,839
Speaker 2: Uh?

851
00:45:50,880 --> 00:45:53,800
Speaker 12: We really want to thank Patriot Mobile, particularly Jenny's story,

852
00:45:53,880 --> 00:45:56,200
Speaker 12: for getting it back of this and making it available

853
00:45:56,239 --> 00:45:58,000
Speaker 12: with us. I really appreciate it. Who'm on and we

854
00:45:58,040 --> 00:45:59,960
Speaker 12: look forward to seeing you seapack a couple of weeks.

855
00:46:00,640 --> 00:46:01,480
Speaker 18: Thanks so much, Steve.

856
00:46:03,520 --> 00:46:05,879
Speaker 2: Thank you. Let's play do we have time?

857
00:46:06,080 --> 00:46:08,439
Speaker 12: Let's play the Let's play the I want to play

858
00:46:08,480 --> 00:46:11,760
Speaker 12: the clip from Pete Heigseth.

859
00:46:11,800 --> 00:46:12,920
Speaker 2: I want to bring Reagan back in.

860
00:46:14,320 --> 00:46:16,719
Speaker 19: It's like this whole idea of the war widening, that's

861
00:46:16,719 --> 00:46:18,440
Speaker 19: what the press wants to make it look like, like

862
00:46:18,440 --> 00:46:21,680
Speaker 19: it's widening and chaos, and now we're actually closing in

863
00:46:21,760 --> 00:46:26,480
Speaker 19: on grabbing hold of and controlling what objectives we want

864
00:46:26,520 --> 00:46:28,560
Speaker 19: to achieve and how we want to achieve them. Shape

865
00:46:28,560 --> 00:46:31,160
Speaker 19: It's called shaping operations and setting the conditions. But when

866
00:46:31,160 --> 00:46:34,120
Speaker 19: you shape the environment, you don't always tell. I mean,

867
00:46:34,160 --> 00:46:37,400
Speaker 19: foolish political leaders and foolish military leaders of the past

868
00:46:37,640 --> 00:46:40,360
Speaker 19: will hang an exact deadline on it, or here's exactly

869
00:46:40,360 --> 00:46:41,879
Speaker 19: when we'll do what we're going to do, or here's

870
00:46:41,880 --> 00:46:43,719
Speaker 19: how long it's going to take us. And then if

871
00:46:43,719 --> 00:46:46,839
Speaker 19: you meet that, maybe you meet it. But if you don't,

872
00:46:46,880 --> 00:46:49,080
Speaker 19: you fail. And if you're far beyond, we know exactly

873
00:46:49,080 --> 00:46:51,680
Speaker 19: what we're shaping and why we're sending those signals working

874
00:46:51,680 --> 00:46:53,640
Speaker 19: across the Inner Agency. The straight of horror moves is

875
00:46:53,680 --> 00:46:56,279
Speaker 19: something we've paid attention to from the beginning, and the

876
00:46:56,320 --> 00:46:59,319
Speaker 19: American people can rest assured we will ensure that our

877
00:46:59,320 --> 00:47:00,839
Speaker 19: interests are advance no doubt.

878
00:47:03,800 --> 00:47:04,680
Speaker 2: Reagan, I'm going to ask you.

879
00:47:04,760 --> 00:47:05,960
Speaker 12: I know you've got to bounce, but I want to

880
00:47:05,960 --> 00:47:08,000
Speaker 12: actually just hold through this next break too, because been a.

881
00:47:08,000 --> 00:47:08,480
Speaker 2: Minute a way.

882
00:47:08,480 --> 00:47:10,839
Speaker 12: But in covering it, Pete comes out and says, hey,

883
00:47:10,840 --> 00:47:14,920
Speaker 12: we're concentrating this and doing it. And then you know, afterwards,

884
00:47:14,920 --> 00:47:18,400
Speaker 12: they announced an amphibious ready group is heading towards the

885
00:47:18,400 --> 00:47:21,640
Speaker 12: Middle East, probably for some sort of potential combat operations

886
00:47:21,640 --> 00:47:23,920
Speaker 12: with these fleet marines. You have a massive bombing or

887
00:47:23,960 --> 00:47:27,080
Speaker 12: carg island last night, and the Israelis announced that they're

888
00:47:27,080 --> 00:47:31,920
Speaker 12: planning on the biggest ground invasion of Lebanon since the

889
00:47:31,960 --> 00:47:33,640
Speaker 12: conflict back in two thousand and six.

890
00:47:34,000 --> 00:47:35,680
Speaker 2: We got a minute here, we'll hold it through the break.

891
00:47:35,840 --> 00:47:36,680
Speaker 2: How do you balance that?

892
00:47:38,440 --> 00:47:40,319
Speaker 14: I don't know if you can. And also, I think

893
00:47:40,560 --> 00:47:43,080
Speaker 14: contradicts what the President is saying. The President keeps saying

894
00:47:43,080 --> 00:47:46,160
Speaker 14: that the war is about to wrap up, that the

895
00:47:46,280 --> 00:47:48,759
Speaker 14: United States is winning. And one thing I've noticed in

896
00:47:48,800 --> 00:47:51,840
Speaker 14: all of these Pentagon briefings is that each day, and

897
00:47:52,320 --> 00:47:54,359
Speaker 14: the President has put these out on true social too,

898
00:47:54,800 --> 00:47:57,000
Speaker 14: they've said that the war that they are going to

899
00:47:57,080 --> 00:47:59,840
Speaker 14: launch the biggest attack that has yet to come in

900
00:48:00,280 --> 00:48:05,839
Speaker 14: war on Iran. And that has perplexed me, because if

901
00:48:05,840 --> 00:48:09,160
Speaker 14: we're so close to ending the war, if we've almost

902
00:48:09,239 --> 00:48:12,080
Speaker 14: reached all of our objectives, why is every day an

903
00:48:12,239 --> 00:48:16,680
Speaker 14: escalation and seems to be getting larger and larger. And

904
00:48:16,760 --> 00:48:19,799
Speaker 14: so I don't know how you balance those two things.

905
00:48:19,840 --> 00:48:23,400
Speaker 14: I don't think they go together. I think they contradict.

906
00:48:25,680 --> 00:48:28,560
Speaker 12: Hanger for one second, We'll hold you through a quick break.

907
00:48:29,280 --> 00:48:32,800
Speaker 12: The second hour is about to start. We are absolutely packed.

908
00:48:33,800 --> 00:48:35,440
Speaker 12: You think you got a problem, You think the women

909
00:48:35,640 --> 00:48:39,160
Speaker 12: of Persia got a problem with the Islamic Republican Tehran, Well,

910
00:48:39,200 --> 00:48:41,839
Speaker 12: guess what I think. There's a couple of three big

911
00:48:41,880 --> 00:48:46,120
Speaker 12: problems in the state of Texas. Julie Pickreen is going

912
00:48:46,200 --> 00:48:48,080
Speaker 12: to be here. We get Jenny Beth Martin. We are

913
00:48:48,120 --> 00:48:50,680
Speaker 12: going to talk about the Save America Act. As reg

914
00:48:50,719 --> 00:48:52,840
Speaker 12: and Reese asked that question, We're going to ask it

915
00:48:53,040 --> 00:48:55,920
Speaker 12: of the Tea Party leader, Jenny Beth Martin.

916
00:48:55,960 --> 00:48:56,480
Speaker 2: Next in the War
