1
00:00:00,640 --> 00:00:03,840
Speaker 1: Of nuclear weapons. They currently possess at least four hundred

2
00:00:03,840 --> 00:00:07,240
Speaker 1: and forty kilograms of highly enriched uranium at sixty percent

3
00:00:07,280 --> 00:00:12,080
Speaker 1: weapons grade, that would be capable of putting together ten

4
00:00:12,160 --> 00:00:13,520
Speaker 1: nuclear weapons.

5
00:00:14,760 --> 00:00:18,840
Speaker 2: Director, what nation state has achieved sixty percent enrichment and

6
00:00:18,880 --> 00:00:21,919
Speaker 2: then not produced.

7
00:00:21,520 --> 00:00:22,360
Speaker 3: A nuclear weapon.

8
00:00:22,720 --> 00:00:23,720
Speaker 1: I'm not aware of any.

9
00:00:23,880 --> 00:00:26,200
Speaker 4: There's none. You get to sixty percent.

10
00:00:26,239 --> 00:00:28,360
Speaker 2: There's a reason you're a sixty percent because you are

11
00:00:28,400 --> 00:00:33,199
Speaker 2: pursuing nuclear ambitions. So we have sanctions have been imposed

12
00:00:33,200 --> 00:00:37,440
Speaker 2: in the past, and yet that pursuit continued. Their economy

13
00:00:37,520 --> 00:00:41,000
Speaker 2: was teetering, the pursuit continued, Their people were suffering. The

14
00:00:41,040 --> 00:00:45,200
Speaker 2: pursuit continued. Under the Bush Obama, Trump forty five, Biden

15
00:00:45,200 --> 00:00:47,720
Speaker 2: now Trump forty seven, that pursuit continued.

16
00:00:47,760 --> 00:00:49,960
Speaker 3: Then last June, Operation.

17
00:00:50,200 --> 00:00:53,800
Speaker 2: Midnight Hammer nuclear program was dealt a significant setback.

18
00:00:54,000 --> 00:00:55,600
Speaker 3: But not only that the.

19
00:00:56,000 --> 00:01:00,600
Speaker 2: Autocratic, illegitimate Regima Tehran witnessed first hand, and that the

20
00:01:00,760 --> 00:01:04,919
Speaker 2: American resolve under this administration should be taking very seriously.

21
00:01:05,240 --> 00:01:06,720
Speaker 4: I want to read you a few quotes.

22
00:01:08,080 --> 00:01:10,919
Speaker 2: Iran will never be permitted to build a nuclear weapon.

23
00:01:11,000 --> 00:01:13,960
Speaker 2: Barack Obama fifteen. The message to Iran should be loud

24
00:01:13,959 --> 00:01:16,160
Speaker 2: and clear. We will never allow you to acquire a

25
00:01:16,240 --> 00:01:19,959
Speaker 2: nuclear weapon. Never, Hillary Clinton, Iran will never get a

26
00:01:20,040 --> 00:01:23,200
Speaker 2: nuclear weapon on my watch. Iran can never develop or

27
00:01:23,240 --> 00:01:27,280
Speaker 2: acquire a nuclear weapon. Joe Biden, make no mistake. As president,

28
00:01:27,440 --> 00:01:30,759
Speaker 2: I will never hesitate to take whatever action is necessary

29
00:01:30,800 --> 00:01:34,240
Speaker 2: to defend American forces and interests from Iran.

30
00:01:34,880 --> 00:01:36,280
Speaker 3: Kamala Harris.

31
00:01:36,640 --> 00:01:40,640
Speaker 2: So, last June, we have Midnight Hammer, and not only

32
00:01:40,680 --> 00:01:44,480
Speaker 2: did they see the resolve, I mean they saw that

33
00:01:44,720 --> 00:01:46,320
Speaker 2: we were committed to actually.

34
00:01:46,120 --> 00:01:48,120
Speaker 3: Taking action and not just the words this time.

35
00:01:48,520 --> 00:01:52,160
Speaker 2: And even after all of that, did they abandon their

36
00:01:52,160 --> 00:01:54,120
Speaker 2: pursuit in their nuclear program.

37
00:01:54,680 --> 00:01:58,160
Speaker 1: They absolutely did not. Congressman, I think you point out

38
00:01:59,200 --> 00:02:02,440
Speaker 1: the success of Operation Midnight Hammer is that one of

39
00:02:02,480 --> 00:02:06,320
Speaker 1: the things that we assess in the intelligence community broadly

40
00:02:06,480 --> 00:02:11,080
Speaker 1: is that since that operation, Iran has been unable to

41
00:02:11,680 --> 00:02:16,760
Speaker 1: enrich a single kilogram of uranium to sixty percent since

42
00:02:16,800 --> 00:02:21,080
Speaker 1: that operation. But as you correctly point out, Congressmen, notwithstanding that,

43
00:02:21,120 --> 00:02:25,120
Speaker 1: our intelligence is also clear that they have not lost

44
00:02:25,160 --> 00:02:31,639
Speaker 1: their ambition, and that the activities to rebuild or reconstitute

45
00:02:31,720 --> 00:02:37,760
Speaker 1: their nuclear facilities and centrifuges is something that the intelligence

46
00:02:38,000 --> 00:02:41,000
Speaker 1: there's a body of intelligence that I think confirms that.

47
00:02:42,160 --> 00:02:45,120
Speaker 2: Then we had eight months of negotiations that attempted diplomacy,

48
00:02:45,120 --> 00:02:49,280
Speaker 2: they proved fruitless, and yet the pursuit continue and the

49
00:02:49,360 --> 00:02:53,000
Speaker 2: Director and is there any intelligence or evidence that the

50
00:02:53,040 --> 00:02:57,280
Speaker 2: Supreme Leader and his thug Mullah's after all that at

51
00:02:57,280 --> 00:03:01,400
Speaker 2: the beginning of this year, we're going to finally stop

52
00:03:01,520 --> 00:03:05,200
Speaker 2: their pursuit of their nuclear weapon in their program. No,

53
00:03:07,400 --> 00:03:09,919
Speaker 2: so we have some folks here that are splitting hairs

54
00:03:09,919 --> 00:03:10,919
Speaker 2: about eminent threat.

55
00:03:10,960 --> 00:03:13,600
Speaker 4: You know what, was it? A grave threat? Director?

56
00:03:13,639 --> 00:03:16,960
Speaker 1: In your opinion, nuclear weapons are a grave threat in

57
00:03:17,000 --> 00:03:19,280
Speaker 1: the hands of religious id logs.

58
00:03:19,120 --> 00:03:20,560
Speaker 3: Sixty percent enrichment.

59
00:03:20,639 --> 00:03:23,560
Speaker 2: No nation state that achieved that hadn't produced a nuclear weapon.

60
00:03:23,600 --> 00:03:25,480
Speaker 2: We can either talk about it, kick the can down

61
00:03:25,520 --> 00:03:28,079
Speaker 2: the road and let them get a nuclear weapon and

62
00:03:28,120 --> 00:03:30,239
Speaker 2: get danger close to it on the precipice, or we

63
00:03:30,280 --> 00:03:31,040
Speaker 2: can take action now.

64
00:03:31,080 --> 00:03:33,200
Speaker 4: And this is what this administration chose to do.

65
00:03:33,320 --> 00:03:36,640
Speaker 3: Thank you, Chirman. I youel back, mister Steve, Thank you,

66
00:03:36,680 --> 00:03:37,240
Speaker 3: missus Chairman.

67
00:03:37,440 --> 00:03:39,840
Speaker 5: Every day, the brave men and women of our intelligence community,

68
00:03:39,920 --> 00:03:42,280
Speaker 5: armed forces in federal law enforcement work to protect our

69
00:03:42,280 --> 00:03:45,200
Speaker 5: homeland from a constant and evolving array of threats. But

70
00:03:45,240 --> 00:03:48,120
Speaker 5: since Democrats chose to shut down the Department of Homeland Security.

71
00:03:48,400 --> 00:03:51,360
Speaker 5: Those threats have grown more acute. Our country has already

72
00:03:51,400 --> 00:03:55,160
Speaker 5: experienced four terrorist attacks since the shutdown began. The consequences

73
00:03:55,160 --> 00:03:58,240
Speaker 5: are no longer hypothetical. They are unfolding in real time

74
00:03:58,560 --> 00:04:01,400
Speaker 5: at a moment when the global threat and environment is intensifying,

75
00:04:01,560 --> 00:04:05,680
Speaker 5: Terrorist organizations are resurging, and adversaries continue to encourage violence

76
00:04:05,680 --> 00:04:10,040
Speaker 5: against Americans. Congress should be reinforcing our defenses. Instead, Democrats

77
00:04:10,080 --> 00:04:14,040
Speaker 5: have sidelined the very department responsible for keeping the homeland safe.

78
00:04:14,280 --> 00:04:16,680
Speaker 5: Not a single Democrat here on this committee voted to

79
00:04:16,680 --> 00:04:18,520
Speaker 5: reopen the Department of Homeland Security.

80
00:04:18,680 --> 00:04:19,840
Speaker 3: That was not an accident.

81
00:04:20,040 --> 00:04:22,200
Speaker 5: It was a political decision made at the expense of

82
00:04:22,240 --> 00:04:24,960
Speaker 5: the safety and security of the American people. As threats

83
00:04:24,960 --> 00:04:27,799
Speaker 5: to our homelands rise and our enemies grow more emboldened,

84
00:04:27,800 --> 00:04:31,920
Speaker 5: this decision has weakened our defenses and replaced action with dysfunction.

85
00:04:32,360 --> 00:04:34,960
Speaker 5: Each day, the threat environment worsens and with it the

86
00:04:35,040 --> 00:04:38,160
Speaker 5: risks to the American people, which is indefensible. Do each

87
00:04:38,160 --> 00:04:40,800
Speaker 5: of you agreed that the reckless Democratic shut down of

88
00:04:40,839 --> 00:04:44,799
Speaker 5: the Department of Homeland Security has affected your agency's ability

89
00:04:44,839 --> 00:04:48,640
Speaker 5: to detect deter and respond to threats against the homeland. Specifically,

90
00:04:48,720 --> 00:04:52,920
Speaker 5: has it impacted intelligent sharing, operational coordination, or your capacity

91
00:04:52,960 --> 00:04:54,839
Speaker 5: to prevent attacks, General Hartman.

92
00:04:57,640 --> 00:05:00,920
Speaker 6: Congressman, hasn't had a significant impact on the foreign intelligence

93
00:05:01,000 --> 00:05:03,040
Speaker 6: mission of the National Security Agency.

94
00:05:02,720 --> 00:05:06,280
Speaker 7: Director Patel, The shutdown has had a significant impact on

95
00:05:06,320 --> 00:05:07,880
Speaker 7: how we protect and defend the homeland.

96
00:05:08,160 --> 00:05:09,000
Speaker 3: Director GABERTT.

97
00:05:10,279 --> 00:05:13,880
Speaker 8: This has directly affected the intelligence elements within the Department

98
00:05:13,880 --> 00:05:16,640
Speaker 8: of Homeland Security negatively, Director.

99
00:05:16,360 --> 00:05:19,920
Speaker 1: Ratcliffe, I would agree with the Director of National Intelligence,

100
00:05:20,160 --> 00:05:20,880
Speaker 1: General Adams.

101
00:05:23,120 --> 00:05:27,200
Speaker 6: No significant impact on the Defense Intelligence Agency and the

102
00:05:27,279 --> 00:05:29,360
Speaker 6: foreign threat that we analyze.

103
00:05:29,560 --> 00:05:32,159
Speaker 5: So Director GABERTT, you in your opening statement talked about

104
00:05:32,200 --> 00:05:34,120
Speaker 5: the threats to the homeland and the changes that you've

105
00:05:34,120 --> 00:05:35,719
Speaker 5: made as it relates to the border.

106
00:05:35,400 --> 00:05:37,120
Speaker 3: And the changes that the president has made.

107
00:05:37,960 --> 00:05:41,040
Speaker 5: After four years of open border policies under President Biden,

108
00:05:41,160 --> 00:05:45,240
Speaker 5: during which cartels and gangs expanded their operations into American cities,

109
00:05:45,600 --> 00:05:48,560
Speaker 5: what specific actions has OD and I taken to disrupt

110
00:05:48,600 --> 00:05:52,120
Speaker 5: these criminal cartels and networks and stop the fentanyl poisoning

111
00:05:52,120 --> 00:05:53,440
Speaker 5: and murdering US citizens.

112
00:05:54,520 --> 00:05:57,560
Speaker 8: Thank you for the question, Congressman. We've taken several actions

113
00:05:57,600 --> 00:06:00,280
Speaker 8: to be able to get after this threat that the

114
00:06:00,279 --> 00:06:06,000
Speaker 8: President made a priority number one being making historic shifts

115
00:06:06,040 --> 00:06:10,320
Speaker 8: in intelligence collection towards addressing this threat. I believe it

116
00:06:10,360 --> 00:06:14,880
Speaker 8: is the biggest shift in intelligence capabilities that we've ever seen,

117
00:06:15,120 --> 00:06:19,279
Speaker 8: or certainly in a long time. The integration and cooperation

118
00:06:19,520 --> 00:06:24,280
Speaker 8: between our National counter Terrorism Center with the DEA and

119
00:06:24,440 --> 00:06:30,360
Speaker 8: other Department of Homeland Security elements is also unprecedented. We

120
00:06:30,440 --> 00:06:35,200
Speaker 8: have taken and coordinated the collection of individuals known and

121
00:06:35,200 --> 00:06:39,640
Speaker 8: suspected terrorists, known and suspected cartel members leaders, and inputted

122
00:06:39,680 --> 00:06:42,640
Speaker 8: that into the TIDE system, which has radically increased and

123
00:06:42,680 --> 00:06:45,920
Speaker 8: improved our ability to identify those who are cartel and

124
00:06:45,960 --> 00:06:49,159
Speaker 8: gang members trying to enter our country and those who

125
00:06:49,200 --> 00:06:53,000
Speaker 8: may already be in our country. National counter Terrorism Center

126
00:06:53,040 --> 00:06:56,520
Speaker 8: has been working again in coordination with our inter agency partners,

127
00:06:56,600 --> 00:06:59,760
Speaker 8: to get after the financial networks that these cartels and

128
00:06:59,800 --> 00:07:03,520
Speaker 8: game rely upon to be able to continue to fund.

129
00:07:04,640 --> 00:07:07,520
Speaker 8: As Director Patel has spoken about, we have national counter

130
00:07:07,560 --> 00:07:13,960
Speaker 8: Terrorism elements that sit within the Joint Terrorism task Forces

131
00:07:14,000 --> 00:07:17,160
Speaker 8: and support the interagency efforts to continue to get after

132
00:07:17,520 --> 00:07:18,960
Speaker 8: this threat very effectively.

133
00:07:19,400 --> 00:07:21,320
Speaker 3: Thank you, Director Pateel.

134
00:07:21,360 --> 00:07:23,760
Speaker 5: Mister Cohen was asking you about a recent firing of

135
00:07:24,000 --> 00:07:28,560
Speaker 5: counter espionage agents with Iranian expertise. You and the FBI

136
00:07:28,560 --> 00:07:30,960
Speaker 5: are taking will continue to take all required steps to

137
00:07:31,040 --> 00:07:34,080
Speaker 5: keep the American people safe during President Trump's historic military

138
00:07:34,120 --> 00:07:36,920
Speaker 5: action against an oppressive and evil Iranian regime.

139
00:07:37,000 --> 00:07:38,680
Speaker 3: Is that correct? Absolutely?

140
00:07:38,720 --> 00:07:41,760
Speaker 7: And there's thirty six thousand people employed at this FBI,

141
00:07:42,560 --> 00:07:45,800
Speaker 7: and I reject the notion wholeheartedly that determination of those

142
00:07:45,840 --> 00:07:48,160
Speaker 7: that were reaponizing law enforcement are the only ones that

143
00:07:48,160 --> 00:07:50,560
Speaker 7: can do the mission. There's a forty three percent increase

144
00:07:50,600 --> 00:07:53,760
Speaker 7: in counterintelligence and espionage arrest just related to iron alone,

145
00:07:53,840 --> 00:07:55,800
Speaker 7: which is a record year for the FBI.

146
00:07:55,920 --> 00:07:58,080
Speaker 5: Well, and you plussed up nearly a thousand agents in

147
00:07:58,120 --> 00:07:59,400
Speaker 5: the field throughout the United States.

148
00:07:59,440 --> 00:08:01,920
Speaker 3: Census is ared, Yes, sir, And there's.

149
00:08:01,720 --> 00:08:05,000
Speaker 5: A document that you posted on X and I think

150
00:08:05,000 --> 00:08:06,520
Speaker 5: this is what you have in front of you about

151
00:08:06,560 --> 00:08:09,160
Speaker 5: all of the wins in the changes that the FBI

152
00:08:09,200 --> 00:08:12,520
Speaker 5: has made under your leadership and President Trump's leadership during

153
00:08:12,520 --> 00:08:14,840
Speaker 5: twenty twenty five and the little time that I have remaining,

154
00:08:14,840 --> 00:08:16,960
Speaker 5: could you just highlight some of that for the American people.

155
00:08:17,000 --> 00:08:17,280
Speaker 4: Thank you.

156
00:08:17,360 --> 00:08:19,880
Speaker 7: Under the Trump administration, this FBI has literally had a

157
00:08:20,040 --> 00:08:22,600
Speaker 7: historic year. We have one hundred and twelve increase, hundred

158
00:08:22,600 --> 00:08:25,960
Speaker 7: and twelve percent increase in violent offenders arrested last year alone,

159
00:08:26,200 --> 00:08:30,320
Speaker 7: a twenty percent decrease in homicides, twenty percent decrease in robberies.

160
00:08:30,520 --> 00:08:33,160
Speaker 7: We have disrupted eighteen hundred criminal gangs. That's a two

161
00:08:33,240 --> 00:08:35,880
Speaker 7: hundred and ten percent increase. We seized enough fentonel to

162
00:08:35,920 --> 00:08:37,880
Speaker 7: kill one hundred and seventy eight million Americans. That's a

163
00:08:37,920 --> 00:08:40,679
Speaker 7: thirty one percent increase. We have gone after the most

164
00:08:40,760 --> 00:08:44,439
Speaker 7: vulnerable in our society, protecting children, a four hundred and

165
00:08:44,559 --> 00:08:47,360
Speaker 7: ninety percent increase in arrest on those that prey on

166
00:08:47,400 --> 00:08:50,959
Speaker 7: our children online. We have located, found, and identified sixty

167
00:08:51,000 --> 00:08:54,160
Speaker 7: two hundred missing kids. That's a thirty percent increase. We

168
00:08:54,200 --> 00:08:58,400
Speaker 7: have dismantled and taken down seventeen hundred child predators that's

169
00:08:58,400 --> 00:09:01,240
Speaker 7: a seventeen percent increase. And those that wish to traffic

170
00:09:01,320 --> 00:09:06,120
Speaker 7: our young American citizens and women. Three hundred human traffickers

171
00:09:06,120 --> 00:09:09,920
Speaker 7: have been arrested. That's a fifteen percent increase. And seven

172
00:09:10,280 --> 00:09:14,040
Speaker 7: seven of the FBI's top ten most wanted fugitives in

173
00:09:14,120 --> 00:09:16,959
Speaker 7: the world have been apprehended in the last thirteen months.

174
00:09:16,960 --> 00:09:19,240
Speaker 7: To put that into perspective, there was four in the

175
00:09:19,240 --> 00:09:22,720
Speaker 7: prior four years. So this FBI under President Trump is

176
00:09:22,760 --> 00:09:25,440
Speaker 7: fully stocked to get after every single fight we have.

177
00:09:25,520 --> 00:09:27,080
Speaker 7: And these are just some of the statistics. So I

178
00:09:27,120 --> 00:09:28,440
Speaker 7: thank you for letting me highlight those.

179
00:09:28,720 --> 00:09:30,800
Speaker 3: Thank you, My time's expired, mister Crenshaw.

180
00:09:33,280 --> 00:09:37,040
Speaker 9: Thank you over for being here in this marathon, two

181
00:09:37,120 --> 00:09:37,720
Speaker 9: day marathon.

182
00:09:37,840 --> 00:09:38,480
Speaker 4: Appreciate you all.

183
00:09:38,480 --> 00:09:41,560
Speaker 9: I want to talk about FISA because we all have

184
00:09:41,640 --> 00:09:43,760
Speaker 9: scars on our back from two years ago when we

185
00:09:43,760 --> 00:09:47,160
Speaker 9: were authorized FIZA. Anticipate it being easier this time. But

186
00:09:47,559 --> 00:09:50,719
Speaker 9: I still want to go over the myths that the

187
00:09:50,760 --> 00:09:53,640
Speaker 9: public believes and that many members of this Congress believe.

188
00:09:54,720 --> 00:09:58,800
Speaker 9: Mister Tel, I'll focus on you here. Myth number one

189
00:10:00,080 --> 00:10:04,320
Speaker 9: do with seven oh two versus FISA Title one? Trump

190
00:10:04,440 --> 00:10:07,000
Speaker 9: was targeted with FIZA seven oh two. Is that a myth?

191
00:10:07,720 --> 00:10:08,680
Speaker 4: That's a myth.

192
00:10:08,720 --> 00:10:09,360
Speaker 3: It's not true.

193
00:10:09,880 --> 00:10:12,920
Speaker 9: Well, how it's just real quick? How how was President

194
00:10:12,960 --> 00:10:16,280
Speaker 9: Trump targeted? Targeted under Crossfire hurricane.

195
00:10:15,840 --> 00:10:20,080
Speaker 7: Under FISA Title I, Title three authorities. Information was presented

196
00:10:20,120 --> 00:10:23,040
Speaker 7: to the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court a search warrant to

197
00:10:23,200 --> 00:10:26,240
Speaker 7: surveil individuals associated with the Trump campaign, which was later

198
00:10:26,240 --> 00:10:29,480
Speaker 7: revealed through the House Intelligence Committee's work that the information

199
00:10:29,520 --> 00:10:32,840
Speaker 7: collected was not only unverified, but individuals lied in that application,

200
00:10:32,960 --> 00:10:34,400
Speaker 7: individuals that were government officials.

201
00:10:34,600 --> 00:10:36,880
Speaker 9: I think it's worth worth pointing out that whether whether

202
00:10:37,960 --> 00:10:41,679
Speaker 9: this process was FISA or a regular court, it was

203
00:10:41,800 --> 00:10:45,600
Speaker 9: still lies told by the people trying to get the warrant.

204
00:10:45,840 --> 00:10:47,480
Speaker 9: Had nothing to do with FISA. It was simply the

205
00:10:47,520 --> 00:10:49,440
Speaker 9: people trying to get the warrant were lying. Okay, myth

206
00:10:49,520 --> 00:10:54,720
Speaker 9: number two. A query means that we're spying on Americans,

207
00:10:54,960 --> 00:10:59,199
Speaker 9: means we're reading their inboxes, we're getting inside their text messages,

208
00:10:59,440 --> 00:10:59,800
Speaker 9: all of that.

209
00:10:59,880 --> 00:11:00,560
Speaker 3: Is that true?

210
00:11:00,960 --> 00:11:03,880
Speaker 7: No, I'm gonna borrow General Hartman's answer. A query of

211
00:11:04,280 --> 00:11:08,120
Speaker 7: seven oh two is pursuing to lawfully collected information of

212
00:11:08,280 --> 00:11:10,240
Speaker 7: non US citizens overseas.

213
00:11:11,920 --> 00:11:15,360
Speaker 9: Right, So, if you query an American citizen, are you

214
00:11:15,480 --> 00:11:19,400
Speaker 9: accessing their inbox? No, you're just seeing if they have

215
00:11:19,559 --> 00:11:24,319
Speaker 9: spoken to somebody who is a foreign intelligence officer, let's say,

216
00:11:25,160 --> 00:11:27,000
Speaker 9: and you would know they've spoken to them because they

217
00:11:27,000 --> 00:11:29,520
Speaker 9: would show up as part of that conversation.

218
00:11:29,440 --> 00:11:30,640
Speaker 7: In foreign intelligence collection.

219
00:11:30,679 --> 00:11:31,680
Speaker 9: Foreign intelligence collection.

220
00:11:32,240 --> 00:11:33,520
Speaker 4: So if.

221
00:11:35,400 --> 00:11:37,360
Speaker 9: And if you wanted to get inside their inbox, you

222
00:11:37,400 --> 00:11:41,160
Speaker 9: would have to get an actual warrant under current law, Right,

223
00:11:41,320 --> 00:11:42,480
Speaker 9: a US person.

224
00:11:42,760 --> 00:11:44,280
Speaker 7: A warrant or a subpoena process.

225
00:11:44,360 --> 00:11:47,920
Speaker 6: Yes, sir, okay, So that's a really important distinction, Congressman,

226
00:11:47,920 --> 00:11:51,040
Speaker 6: if I could just but you wouldn't use FA seven

227
00:11:51,080 --> 00:11:54,319
Speaker 6: oh two to do that, correct, to get in the part.

228
00:11:54,720 --> 00:11:55,840
Speaker 6: I just want to be clear about that.

229
00:11:55,880 --> 00:11:57,079
Speaker 3: Yes, there is, there is.

230
00:11:57,120 --> 00:11:58,920
Speaker 9: You would use your regular core process.

231
00:11:58,600 --> 00:12:02,880
Speaker 6: No authority under seven oh two to collect intelligence intentionally

232
00:12:02,920 --> 00:12:04,200
Speaker 6: against US person.

233
00:12:04,280 --> 00:12:05,320
Speaker 3: Absolutely right.

234
00:12:06,920 --> 00:12:07,240
Speaker 4: Yeah.

235
00:12:07,280 --> 00:12:10,320
Speaker 9: So when somebody, and let's say their name rhymes with

236
00:12:10,520 --> 00:12:14,440
Speaker 9: I don't know, Tucker Carlson is claiming that the CIA

237
00:12:14,640 --> 00:12:17,880
Speaker 9: is spying on him, I would I'm gonna guess here,

238
00:12:17,880 --> 00:12:19,280
Speaker 9: because I don't know. I'm going to guess at the

239
00:12:19,280 --> 00:12:22,520
Speaker 9: most likely scenario is that in the process of him

240
00:12:22,559 --> 00:12:27,360
Speaker 9: speaking with Iranian intelligence officials, it is incidentally collected. Nobody

241
00:12:27,400 --> 00:12:30,160
Speaker 9: is spying on Tucker Carlson or his inbox to my

242
00:12:30,280 --> 00:12:34,280
Speaker 9: knowledge at least number three. Another myth a warrant requirement

243
00:12:34,320 --> 00:12:39,160
Speaker 9: should it be required by law is it's for a

244
00:12:39,200 --> 00:12:42,679
Speaker 9: simple query that should be easy to get, right. What's

245
00:12:42,679 --> 00:12:45,040
Speaker 9: the problem. It's easy to get a warrant, We do

246
00:12:45,080 --> 00:12:46,880
Speaker 9: it all the time. Would it be easy?

247
00:12:48,960 --> 00:12:49,720
Speaker 7: In my opinion?

248
00:12:50,160 --> 00:12:54,520
Speaker 9: No, And the reason it wouldn't be easy is because

249
00:12:54,640 --> 00:12:58,719
Speaker 9: oftentimes these queries are part of a very typical analytical

250
00:12:58,800 --> 00:13:02,559
Speaker 9: process and they would not meet the judicial standards of

251
00:13:02,679 --> 00:13:05,160
Speaker 9: probable cause. And I've seen many examples of this. I

252
00:13:05,200 --> 00:13:08,880
Speaker 9: would love if you guys had some examples that are declassified.

253
00:13:08,880 --> 00:13:12,640
Speaker 9: I've seen them in a classified session. So I guess

254
00:13:12,720 --> 00:13:15,680
Speaker 9: my point is, and now that we've debunked to these myths,

255
00:13:15,840 --> 00:13:19,680
Speaker 9: is you put that warrant process on a simple query,

256
00:13:19,920 --> 00:13:22,720
Speaker 9: You're taking away our analyst's ability to connect the dots,

257
00:13:22,760 --> 00:13:25,520
Speaker 9: to connect the dots from the outside actors, which we

258
00:13:25,520 --> 00:13:28,760
Speaker 9: we can collect on they have no constitutional protections, but

259
00:13:28,800 --> 00:13:31,880
Speaker 9: you're removing our ability to connect them with the inside actors,

260
00:13:32,200 --> 00:13:34,720
Speaker 9: which is kind of where it matters. It's like, it's

261
00:13:34,760 --> 00:13:37,240
Speaker 9: like giving up when you're when you're when you're right

262
00:13:37,240 --> 00:13:40,160
Speaker 9: at the goal line. That makes zero sense to do,

263
00:13:40,200 --> 00:13:43,840
Speaker 9: and that's exactly what this would do. Do you I've

264
00:13:43,840 --> 00:13:47,080
Speaker 9: already heard Director rat cliffs answer on this, but eighteen

265
00:13:47,120 --> 00:13:50,840
Speaker 9: months is clean? Reauthorization does that? I don't know where

266
00:13:50,840 --> 00:13:53,520
Speaker 9: that number came from, But would you rather have it longer?

267
00:13:54,200 --> 00:13:56,760
Speaker 7: As Director Ratcliffe said, I'd like five or ten years?

268
00:13:57,080 --> 00:14:03,880
Speaker 9: Okay, me too, Okay, let me have it quickly, and well,

269
00:14:03,920 --> 00:14:04,840
Speaker 9: I yell back, thank you?

270
00:14:05,000 --> 00:14:08,360
Speaker 4: Was that was that cash for Tell that used to

271
00:14:08,360 --> 00:14:09,439
Speaker 4: be one of the co hosts here.

272
00:14:09,640 --> 00:14:12,200
Speaker 10: Listen, we're going plenty of time to get into Faiza

273
00:14:12,320 --> 00:14:15,840
Speaker 10: in the seven o two and all that. But let's

274
00:14:15,880 --> 00:14:18,160
Speaker 10: say this. I heard a couple of different things there

275
00:14:18,200 --> 00:14:20,040
Speaker 10: that maybe we haven't heard before. We're going to get

276
00:14:20,040 --> 00:14:20,280
Speaker 10: into that.

277
00:14:20,320 --> 00:14:23,040
Speaker 4: People have been behind the scenes talking to us. We're

278
00:14:23,040 --> 00:14:26,240
Speaker 4: gonna get into a whole analysis of that.

279
00:14:26,480 --> 00:14:29,800
Speaker 10: But Crenshaw, Dan Crenshaw, who was beaten in a primer

280
00:14:30,000 --> 00:14:32,800
Speaker 10: pretty substantial I think by fourteen points or so, not

281
00:14:32,800 --> 00:14:34,280
Speaker 10: going to return to the house.

282
00:14:34,720 --> 00:14:36,960
Speaker 4: Is obviously one of these ones that was pushing hard

283
00:14:36,960 --> 00:14:38,960
Speaker 4: for this. We'll get into all that.

284
00:14:39,120 --> 00:14:43,280
Speaker 10: The house intel today grilling, particularly Tulsi Gabbert. We're gonna

285
00:14:43,280 --> 00:14:45,280
Speaker 10: take a short commercial break. We're back in the warm

286
00:14:45,320 --> 00:14:45,960
Speaker 10: at just a moment.

287
00:15:00,560 --> 00:15:02,560
Speaker 3: Excuse your host, Stephen K.

288
00:15:02,800 --> 00:15:03,040
Speaker 11: Bath.

289
00:15:05,880 --> 00:15:08,720
Speaker 10: Okay, the situation with these gas fields and the all

290
00:15:08,760 --> 00:15:10,760
Speaker 10: in the Persian Golf and who said, hey, they are

291
00:15:10,840 --> 00:15:13,800
Speaker 10: the cases of the war. Has the center of gravity

292
00:15:13,960 --> 00:15:16,400
Speaker 10: you know, in the cost of Vizian sense is the

293
00:15:16,400 --> 00:15:19,720
Speaker 10: Persian Golf and the Strait or horror moves. And now

294
00:15:19,920 --> 00:15:22,880
Speaker 10: as we said, yes, say the pipeline going from Saudi

295
00:15:22,880 --> 00:15:25,120
Speaker 10: Arabia to the Red Sea, that gives them an alternative.

296
00:15:25,160 --> 00:15:28,240
Speaker 10: Then going through the Strait that was a hit last

297
00:15:28,320 --> 00:15:30,920
Speaker 10: night by the Iranians. We said, the gap Diner and

298
00:15:30,960 --> 00:15:33,880
Speaker 10: the Red Sea is even more treacherous than the Strait

299
00:15:33,960 --> 00:15:37,600
Speaker 10: or horror moves. We're going to get to all that, Brent,

300
00:15:37,760 --> 00:15:41,480
Speaker 10: which is the indicator of European The cost they went

301
00:15:41,480 --> 00:15:43,440
Speaker 10: to one hundred and nineteen backed off now one hundred

302
00:15:43,440 --> 00:15:47,440
Speaker 10: and ten West Texas Intermediate, which is the checking for

303
00:15:47,480 --> 00:15:51,320
Speaker 10: the US, is about ninety six eighty three. Bouncing all around,

304
00:15:51,720 --> 00:15:54,400
Speaker 10: and we'll talk more about that. Try to get Bowling

305
00:15:54,480 --> 00:15:56,760
Speaker 10: up here if we have time. Brandon Weikert's also going

306
00:15:56,800 --> 00:15:58,920
Speaker 10: to join us in a little while talk about the

307
00:15:59,040 --> 00:16:01,920
Speaker 10: strategic situation from what we're hearing from both the Pentagon

308
00:16:02,800 --> 00:16:04,160
Speaker 10: and other sources.

309
00:16:04,200 --> 00:16:05,960
Speaker 4: Will get that in a minute.

310
00:16:06,280 --> 00:16:09,480
Speaker 10: Kobe Bloomfeld Gantz, thank you for joining as founder CEO

311
00:16:09,560 --> 00:16:10,120
Speaker 10: of Chapter.

312
00:16:11,760 --> 00:16:12,600
Speaker 4: I'm pretty stunned.

313
00:16:12,600 --> 00:16:14,600
Speaker 10: I want you to describe your industry first and why

314
00:16:14,680 --> 00:16:18,320
Speaker 10: you set this company up. But my understanding and look,

315
00:16:18,320 --> 00:16:22,760
Speaker 10: in this analysis, there's essentially in the Medicare Advisory to

316
00:16:23,240 --> 00:16:27,840
Speaker 10: make sure people get the best Medicare possible. And I

317
00:16:27,920 --> 00:16:31,240
Speaker 10: admit I use somebody to help me go through this

318
00:16:31,360 --> 00:16:33,640
Speaker 10: right now because it's so confusing to me. I can't

319
00:16:33,680 --> 00:16:35,720
Speaker 10: make head and her tails of it. But that the

320
00:16:35,760 --> 00:16:39,080
Speaker 10: fees that are out there are like one hundred billion dollars.

321
00:16:39,640 --> 00:16:42,560
Speaker 10: That is this pool that the insurance companies want to

322
00:16:42,600 --> 00:16:45,800
Speaker 10: make sure it all cuts their way. What is chapter?

323
00:16:46,280 --> 00:16:49,640
Speaker 10: Why did you found it? And what's your value proposition

324
00:16:50,240 --> 00:16:50,840
Speaker 10: to folks?

325
00:16:51,080 --> 00:16:51,280
Speaker 4: Sir?

326
00:16:52,320 --> 00:16:55,760
Speaker 12: Thanks for having me, Steve really excited to be here. Yes,

327
00:16:55,880 --> 00:17:00,520
Speaker 12: Medicare is one of the most consequential disc visions that

328
00:17:00,600 --> 00:17:04,160
Speaker 12: American seniors face. It's also one of the slimiest industries

329
00:17:04,160 --> 00:17:07,760
Speaker 12: I've ever seen. So I started the company a few

330
00:17:07,800 --> 00:17:10,399
Speaker 12: years ago after seeing my parents struggle with the Medicare

331
00:17:10,440 --> 00:17:13,200
Speaker 12: sign up process. They had been working with a local

332
00:17:13,240 --> 00:17:16,840
Speaker 12: Medicare advisor who didn't really have the tools, the data,

333
00:17:16,960 --> 00:17:21,120
Speaker 12: or frankly, the incentives to provide great advice. My parents

334
00:17:21,160 --> 00:17:24,240
Speaker 12: were then far overpaying for the same Medicare plan that

335
00:17:24,240 --> 00:17:26,000
Speaker 12: they could have had for a lot less, and my

336
00:17:26,040 --> 00:17:30,320
Speaker 12: mom actually now is subject to lifetime late enrollment penalties

337
00:17:30,359 --> 00:17:33,720
Speaker 12: because she got bad guidance, and so there's all these

338
00:17:33,960 --> 00:17:40,040
Speaker 12: gotchas and difficult areas in Medicare to navigate that. The government,

339
00:17:40,119 --> 00:17:42,480
Speaker 12: for a lot of reasons over time, has created a

340
00:17:42,480 --> 00:17:47,399
Speaker 12: system that's really not transparent. What we do at chapter

341
00:17:47,760 --> 00:17:48,280
Speaker 12: is we are.

342
00:17:48,240 --> 00:17:52,680
Speaker 4: The only Kobe but Kobe Hanger. Second, I just wanted

343
00:17:52,680 --> 00:17:54,239
Speaker 4: to go through that. Why is it?

344
00:17:54,359 --> 00:17:57,640
Speaker 10: You know, I'm a Harvard Business School grad and worked

345
00:17:57,680 --> 00:17:58,520
Speaker 10: at Goldman Sachs.

346
00:17:59,000 --> 00:18:02,080
Speaker 4: I can't make I can't understand it. It's too complicated

347
00:18:02,080 --> 00:18:04,679
Speaker 4: for me. I have to have somebody explain it to me.

348
00:18:04,760 --> 00:18:07,600
Speaker 10: And now I realize, after I've been introduced a chapter,

349
00:18:08,480 --> 00:18:11,400
Speaker 10: it may not be it may not be actually transparent.

350
00:18:12,480 --> 00:18:15,480
Speaker 10: First off, why is the system on something that's so

351
00:18:15,560 --> 00:18:18,480
Speaker 10: important to seniors so opaque?

352
00:18:18,640 --> 00:18:18,880
Speaker 4: Sir?

353
00:18:20,280 --> 00:18:25,760
Speaker 12: It's because it's been Frankenstein together over generations. Medicare was

354
00:18:25,800 --> 00:18:29,920
Speaker 12: initially started under LBJ in nineteen sixty five, and over

355
00:18:30,160 --> 00:18:33,520
Speaker 12: the past sixty years, different rules and regulations and regimes

356
00:18:33,560 --> 00:18:37,879
Speaker 12: have basically been layered on top as new dynamics have

357
00:18:38,200 --> 00:18:41,320
Speaker 12: come out and new paradigms have come out. So that's

358
00:18:41,359 --> 00:18:44,000
Speaker 12: really the underlying reason why it's so complicated that on

359
00:18:44,040 --> 00:18:46,400
Speaker 12: top of just our healthcare system in this country in general,

360
00:18:46,520 --> 00:18:48,680
Speaker 12: not just Medicare, but all of it is so complicated

361
00:18:49,440 --> 00:18:53,000
Speaker 12: and rife with a lot of issues. I heard, as

362
00:18:53,040 --> 00:18:57,560
Speaker 12: you said, it's very hard even for very well educated

363
00:18:57,560 --> 00:19:00,639
Speaker 12: people to navigate. I heard a Stanford healthymius. This is

364
00:19:00,640 --> 00:19:03,199
Speaker 12: a guy who has a PhD in health economics from

365
00:19:03,240 --> 00:19:06,760
Speaker 12: Stanford say he couldn't navigate Medicare. So how is anyone

366
00:19:06,800 --> 00:19:07,440
Speaker 12: supposed to know.

367
00:19:10,520 --> 00:19:12,280
Speaker 10: What is Talk to me before we get into the

368
00:19:12,359 --> 00:19:15,480
Speaker 10: data and what you guys have created. Given your parents situation,

369
00:19:16,880 --> 00:19:20,440
Speaker 10: why is it not full transparency on the incentives of

370
00:19:20,480 --> 00:19:23,040
Speaker 10: people people that come Because there's all these commercials and

371
00:19:23,119 --> 00:19:25,760
Speaker 10: it's all this complicated even watch TV about who you

372
00:19:25,800 --> 00:19:26,800
Speaker 10: go to, who do you talk to?

373
00:19:27,400 --> 00:19:28,080
Speaker 4: Why is it not.

374
00:19:28,080 --> 00:19:31,640
Speaker 10: Transparent of what the incentives are? Because now that I've

375
00:19:31,800 --> 00:19:34,480
Speaker 10: researched your company, I find out that some people that

376
00:19:35,680 --> 00:19:38,119
Speaker 10: actually say they're there to help you and get the

377
00:19:38,160 --> 00:19:41,520
Speaker 10: best get you the best deal, turns out their incentives

378
00:19:41,520 --> 00:19:44,440
Speaker 10: are really related to the insurance companies.

379
00:19:44,040 --> 00:19:44,920
Speaker 4: Making out better.

380
00:19:44,960 --> 00:19:46,560
Speaker 10: And that's why I talked about this one hundred billion

381
00:19:46,600 --> 00:19:50,000
Speaker 10: dollars annually pool of fees out there. Why is why

382
00:19:50,040 --> 00:19:52,520
Speaker 10: is it not a requirement that you actually got to say,

383
00:19:52,520 --> 00:19:54,240
Speaker 10: because people wouldn't mind just tell us what side of

384
00:19:54,240 --> 00:19:55,359
Speaker 10: the football you're lined up on.

385
00:19:57,200 --> 00:20:00,879
Speaker 12: Unfortunately, every medicare advisor in this untrue with the exception

386
00:20:00,920 --> 00:20:04,399
Speaker 12: of chapter is really an agent of the insurance carrier,

387
00:20:04,600 --> 00:20:07,520
Speaker 12: not a fiduciary to the individual. And that's really what

388
00:20:07,600 --> 00:20:11,160
Speaker 12: it comes down to. So insurance carriers want medicare advisors

389
00:20:11,160 --> 00:20:14,639
Speaker 12: medicare brokers to push plans that the insurance carrier wants.

390
00:20:15,200 --> 00:20:17,440
Speaker 12: It's not let me find a plan that's in your

391
00:20:17,440 --> 00:20:19,639
Speaker 12: best interest as a consumer, it's let me find a

392
00:20:19,680 --> 00:20:22,080
Speaker 12: plan that makes the insurance carrier the most money. That's

393
00:20:22,200 --> 00:20:25,240
Speaker 12: how the laws are actually written. As a medicare advisor,

394
00:20:25,280 --> 00:20:28,199
Speaker 12: you are an agent of the insurance carrier, not an

395
00:20:28,240 --> 00:20:32,600
Speaker 12: agent of the individual, which is really unfortunate why I

396
00:20:32,600 --> 00:20:35,760
Speaker 12: started the company really, but all of these fees in

397
00:20:35,800 --> 00:20:38,960
Speaker 12: the industry are there to push Americans into plans that

398
00:20:39,000 --> 00:20:41,600
Speaker 12: pay the insurance carrier more and then ultimately that pay

399
00:20:41,600 --> 00:20:42,760
Speaker 12: the medicare broker more.

400
00:20:45,480 --> 00:20:50,960
Speaker 10: So walk me through then your combination of fiduciary responsibility

401
00:20:51,720 --> 00:20:56,120
Speaker 10: working for actually your client and data and your access

402
00:20:56,160 --> 00:20:58,680
Speaker 10: to data that other people don't have. What you guys

403
00:20:58,680 --> 00:21:01,280
Speaker 10: have put together, So walk me through a whole value

404
00:21:01,280 --> 00:21:02,439
Speaker 10: proposition in the company.

405
00:21:02,440 --> 00:21:05,719
Speaker 12: Then we look at one hundred percent of Medicare plans

406
00:21:05,840 --> 00:21:07,639
Speaker 12: across every type of Medicare, and there are a lot

407
00:21:07,680 --> 00:21:10,239
Speaker 12: of different types of Medicare. There's Medicare Advantage, which you've

408
00:21:10,240 --> 00:21:12,080
Speaker 12: probably seen a lot of ads for. There's also a

409
00:21:12,080 --> 00:21:15,040
Speaker 12: thing called the Medicare Supplement plan. They are party prescription plans.

410
00:21:15,040 --> 00:21:17,080
Speaker 12: There are lots of different types of Medicare plans, which

411
00:21:17,119 --> 00:21:18,840
Speaker 12: a lot of people don't realize. So we look at

412
00:21:18,840 --> 00:21:22,520
Speaker 12: a one hundred percent of options. We ask each individual

413
00:21:23,000 --> 00:21:28,320
Speaker 12: American what their needs are, their doctors, their prescriptions, their

414
00:21:29,240 --> 00:21:32,520
Speaker 12: lifestyle preferences, and then we match the right plan for

415
00:21:32,600 --> 00:21:36,199
Speaker 12: each person, whether or not Chapter earns any money. And

416
00:21:36,280 --> 00:21:38,840
Speaker 12: so we enroll people in Medicare plans every day, even

417
00:21:38,880 --> 00:21:43,320
Speaker 12: when we earn nothing. And importantly, our Medicare advisors don't

418
00:21:43,359 --> 00:21:46,840
Speaker 12: know how much Chapter earns on a given plan, and

419
00:21:46,880 --> 00:21:50,600
Speaker 12: their compensation doesn't vary whether you enroll in a plan

420
00:21:50,640 --> 00:21:52,400
Speaker 12: that Chapter earns money on or a plan that Chapter

421
00:21:52,440 --> 00:21:55,560
Speaker 12: doesn't earn money on. So we've aligned incentives entirely with

422
00:21:55,640 --> 00:21:57,800
Speaker 12: the end user to make sure that we're always doing

423
00:21:57,880 --> 00:22:01,159
Speaker 12: what's right for the American and you know, selfishly, in

424
00:22:01,200 --> 00:22:02,840
Speaker 12: the long term, we think that actually creates a better

425
00:22:02,880 --> 00:22:05,919
Speaker 12: business because it creates a better user experience, it builds trust.

426
00:22:06,640 --> 00:22:10,520
Speaker 12: But we are really pushing against the legacy industry that

427
00:22:10,600 --> 00:22:13,920
Speaker 12: is just trying to push these plans into people, onto

428
00:22:13,920 --> 00:22:16,400
Speaker 12: people who really don't need them, or where it's far

429
00:22:16,440 --> 00:22:17,600
Speaker 12: more expensive than it needs to be.

430
00:22:19,720 --> 00:22:20,960
Speaker 4: So many understand this.

431
00:22:21,040 --> 00:22:25,400
Speaker 10: The advisors, these other advisors are incentivised on a percentage

432
00:22:25,440 --> 00:22:28,240
Speaker 10: basis or some sort of bonus basis, or some sort

433
00:22:28,280 --> 00:22:33,080
Speaker 10: of incentive that commissioning someone into a plan a commission

434
00:22:33,080 --> 00:22:36,120
Speaker 10: basis that they're there, that the insurance company is essentially

435
00:22:36,119 --> 00:22:38,479
Speaker 10: paying them, and they're really working for the insurance company.

436
00:22:39,240 --> 00:22:42,240
Speaker 12: Yes, and and the labeling is very confusing, as you said,

437
00:22:42,320 --> 00:22:44,880
Speaker 12: it's you know, it's very it's not transparent. A lot

438
00:22:44,920 --> 00:22:49,960
Speaker 12: of medicare brokers will call themselves independent advisors. Independent in

439
00:22:50,040 --> 00:22:54,640
Speaker 12: medicare just means you represent at least two insurance carriers.

440
00:22:54,960 --> 00:22:59,200
Speaker 12: There are hundreds of insurance carriers that a given American

441
00:22:59,280 --> 00:23:02,600
Speaker 12: probably has act acess to and the only requirement is

442
00:23:02,640 --> 00:23:05,600
Speaker 12: that they represent at least two to be called independent.

443
00:23:05,680 --> 00:23:08,119
Speaker 12: And so the labeling is also very misleading.

444
00:23:11,000 --> 00:23:12,560
Speaker 10: Just take a second, tell us about your mom and

445
00:23:12,640 --> 00:23:14,960
Speaker 10: dad and what happened to your mom, because it sounds

446
00:23:15,040 --> 00:23:17,040
Speaker 10: like a tough guess nightmare.

447
00:23:17,600 --> 00:23:18,159
Speaker 3: It really is.

448
00:23:18,200 --> 00:23:21,200
Speaker 12: So my parents, like any Americans signing up for Medicare,

449
00:23:21,280 --> 00:23:23,520
Speaker 12: had to figure it out. They had to go and

450
00:23:23,560 --> 00:23:26,479
Speaker 12: talk to the Social Security Office. They had to make

451
00:23:26,520 --> 00:23:28,080
Speaker 12: a lot of calls, had to fill out a lot

452
00:23:28,080 --> 00:23:30,800
Speaker 12: of paperwork, and they were working with a local Medicare

453
00:23:30,800 --> 00:23:34,679
Speaker 12: broker who only had access to a small subset of

454
00:23:34,720 --> 00:23:37,639
Speaker 12: the plans that were available. So my parents signed up

455
00:23:37,640 --> 00:23:39,919
Speaker 12: for a Medicare plan that I learned much later was

456
00:23:40,000 --> 00:23:42,360
Speaker 12: more expensive than it needed to be for the same coverage.

457
00:23:42,880 --> 00:23:47,040
Speaker 12: And then the government actually imposes penalties that accrue over

458
00:23:47,080 --> 00:23:49,919
Speaker 12: your lifetime if you don't sign up at the right time.

459
00:23:50,560 --> 00:23:54,000
Speaker 12: And the policy rationale here, because there is one, is

460
00:23:54,040 --> 00:23:56,520
Speaker 12: that Medicare is a risk pool and they need to

461
00:23:56,520 --> 00:23:58,720
Speaker 12: make sure that people who are younger and healthier of

462
00:23:58,760 --> 00:24:01,919
Speaker 12: the Medicare population sign up when they're still healthy. They

463
00:24:01,920 --> 00:24:04,000
Speaker 12: don't want people to just sign up for Medicare once

464
00:24:04,040 --> 00:24:07,040
Speaker 12: they're sick. So there is some logic to it, but

465
00:24:07,480 --> 00:24:10,000
Speaker 12: it's so hard to know when you are supposed to

466
00:24:10,080 --> 00:24:13,320
Speaker 12: sign up that if you miss that window, the government

467
00:24:13,359 --> 00:24:18,120
Speaker 12: then adds percentages of premiums to your required payments each

468
00:24:18,160 --> 00:24:22,000
Speaker 12: month that you are late. So my mom was a

469
00:24:22,040 --> 00:24:25,720
Speaker 12: few months late after her window to sign up, and

470
00:24:25,760 --> 00:24:29,359
Speaker 12: so now she has to pay significantly more every month

471
00:24:29,480 --> 00:24:33,840
Speaker 12: to the government until for as long as she's on Medicare.

472
00:24:36,000 --> 00:24:38,640
Speaker 10: So for our audience, for the warm posse, if you've

473
00:24:38,640 --> 00:24:40,879
Speaker 10: already used a broker, you've already signed up for something,

474
00:24:40,880 --> 00:24:44,000
Speaker 10: can you still come to chapter and you guys deconstruct

475
00:24:44,000 --> 00:24:45,280
Speaker 10: it and help it get better?

476
00:24:45,400 --> 00:24:48,080
Speaker 4: Or is that just tough break for a swell guy

477
00:24:48,160 --> 00:24:48,480
Speaker 4: or gal.

478
00:24:49,520 --> 00:24:53,440
Speaker 12: No, there's opportunities to optimize people's coverage. So if you're

479
00:24:53,440 --> 00:24:56,399
Speaker 12: already on a Medicare plan, it really depends on your

480
00:24:56,440 --> 00:24:59,199
Speaker 12: specific situation, but you can give us a call. We

481
00:24:59,240 --> 00:25:01,119
Speaker 12: will tell you you're already on the right plan and

482
00:25:01,880 --> 00:25:04,160
Speaker 12: nothing you should do. If there's a better plan, will

483
00:25:04,160 --> 00:25:07,080
Speaker 12: help you switch if you're eligible. And then importantly, it's

484
00:25:07,080 --> 00:25:10,560
Speaker 12: not just about selecting a plan. It's also really important

485
00:25:10,600 --> 00:25:12,280
Speaker 12: that people get the most out of their healthcare. They

486
00:25:12,280 --> 00:25:14,760
Speaker 12: can actually use their Medicare plan, So we help you

487
00:25:14,840 --> 00:25:16,560
Speaker 12: find a doctor who might be a network if you

488
00:25:16,600 --> 00:25:18,760
Speaker 12: need to find a specialist. We help you appeal bills

489
00:25:18,760 --> 00:25:22,960
Speaker 12: and claims. We help you minimize your prescription expenses. Maybe

490
00:25:23,000 --> 00:25:25,320
Speaker 12: there's a cheaper way to get the same prescriptions you need.

491
00:25:26,200 --> 00:25:29,040
Speaker 12: We help you understand what other benefits are in your

492
00:25:29,040 --> 00:25:31,320
Speaker 12: plan that you might not be aware of, so we

493
00:25:31,359 --> 00:25:35,679
Speaker 12: can definitely help beyond just the initial enrollment. And it's

494
00:25:35,680 --> 00:25:38,560
Speaker 12: a totally free service. We're really just trying to upend

495
00:25:38,600 --> 00:25:40,320
Speaker 12: the industry and help as many people as we can.

496
00:25:42,680 --> 00:25:44,159
Speaker 10: If you don't mind, I want to just hold you

497
00:25:44,200 --> 00:25:45,600
Speaker 10: through the break. We got other stuff we got to

498
00:25:45,640 --> 00:25:48,240
Speaker 10: cover this important. I just want to we get about

499
00:25:48,280 --> 00:25:52,280
Speaker 10: a minute here. Why is this thing so complicated? Again,

500
00:25:52,680 --> 00:25:54,400
Speaker 10: this has ought to be something that will be pretty

501
00:25:54,400 --> 00:25:58,280
Speaker 10: straightforward for people, particularly as you get older. That why

502
00:25:58,359 --> 00:25:59,359
Speaker 10: is this so complicated?

503
00:26:00,280 --> 00:26:03,760
Speaker 12: There's so many perverse incentives in the medicare system where

504
00:26:03,840 --> 00:26:07,000
Speaker 12: the insurance carriers want you to sign up for one

505
00:26:07,040 --> 00:26:10,720
Speaker 12: specific plan that makes them more money. They incentivize Medicare

506
00:26:10,720 --> 00:26:14,440
Speaker 12: brokers to push that plan, and as a result, Americans

507
00:26:14,440 --> 00:26:18,080
Speaker 12: overpaid by one hundred billion dollars a year. And there's

508
00:26:18,119 --> 00:26:21,439
Speaker 12: really no reason other than this Franken sign system with

509
00:26:21,560 --> 00:26:25,399
Speaker 12: perverse incentives. That's really leaving Americans in the lurch when

510
00:26:25,680 --> 00:26:27,760
Speaker 12: Medicare is not a welfare program. There's a program people

511
00:26:27,760 --> 00:26:30,800
Speaker 12: have been paying into their entire careers. So a chapter,

512
00:26:30,920 --> 00:26:33,000
Speaker 12: we're really trying to make sure people get the health

513
00:26:33,000 --> 00:26:35,320
Speaker 12: covers that they've been paying into and frankly, they deserve.

514
00:26:37,280 --> 00:26:41,280
Speaker 10: Kobe, just hang over for one second. One hundred billion

515
00:26:42,119 --> 00:26:44,879
Speaker 10: dollars a year. Take your number two perenci out and

516
00:26:45,000 --> 00:26:46,960
Speaker 10: just write that down once you think about that for

517
00:26:47,000 --> 00:26:47,399
Speaker 10: a second.

518
00:26:47,400 --> 00:26:50,000
Speaker 4: Short commercial break back in the warm in just a moment.

519
00:27:00,640 --> 00:27:03,040
Speaker 3: Confuse your host, Stephen k back.

520
00:27:05,800 --> 00:27:08,800
Speaker 10: Look, Kobe, I think everybody in the audience has signed

521
00:27:08,840 --> 00:27:12,120
Speaker 10: up for one of these things. Regretted, they still confusing

522
00:27:12,160 --> 00:27:14,879
Speaker 10: to them. They don't fully understand it. They now realize

523
00:27:14,880 --> 00:27:17,320
Speaker 10: they've been dealing with brokers that are really paid for

524
00:27:17,440 --> 00:27:18,480
Speaker 10: by the insurance companies.

525
00:27:18,480 --> 00:27:19,440
Speaker 4: In addition, they're.

526
00:27:19,240 --> 00:27:22,119
Speaker 10: Working with limited data, so they can't look at the

527
00:27:22,160 --> 00:27:26,359
Speaker 10: whole range of alternatives and really deal.

528
00:27:26,160 --> 00:27:27,840
Speaker 4: With making an efficient market.

529
00:27:27,880 --> 00:27:31,680
Speaker 10: Because you got perfect information, which is where the data

530
00:27:31,720 --> 00:27:32,240
Speaker 10: comes from.

531
00:27:32,720 --> 00:27:33,440
Speaker 4: Here's what I want.

532
00:27:33,480 --> 00:27:35,399
Speaker 10: I really want everybody in the War and Posse and

533
00:27:35,440 --> 00:27:38,080
Speaker 10: our audience, both on the live show, in the podcast

534
00:27:38,280 --> 00:27:40,400
Speaker 10: to be able to get in touch with you guys.

535
00:27:40,480 --> 00:27:41,720
Speaker 4: Just walk us through right.

536
00:27:41,600 --> 00:27:45,720
Speaker 10: Now, take a minute, because this audience loves the receipts.

537
00:27:45,720 --> 00:27:48,600
Speaker 10: They love to immerse themselves in information. And this is

538
00:27:48,600 --> 00:27:51,680
Speaker 10: one of the things where other sponsors have built relationships

539
00:27:51,680 --> 00:27:53,199
Speaker 10: with people. And I know you guys do too, but

540
00:27:53,240 --> 00:27:54,960
Speaker 10: I want them to get access to you, guys, and

541
00:27:55,000 --> 00:27:57,720
Speaker 10: I want to do it today because when you listen

542
00:27:57,760 --> 00:28:00,000
Speaker 10: to you, when I first got to know you, guys,

543
00:28:00,000 --> 00:28:02,359
Speaker 10: start doing the due diligence. You just get so mad

544
00:28:03,040 --> 00:28:06,760
Speaker 10: when this perverse incentives and something that should be straightforward.

545
00:28:06,800 --> 00:28:08,480
Speaker 4: And you just made a brilling point. This ain't a

546
00:28:08,520 --> 00:28:09,480
Speaker 4: welfare program.

547
00:28:09,800 --> 00:28:12,080
Speaker 10: People have been paying into this, This is not a

548
00:28:12,119 --> 00:28:15,199
Speaker 10: welfare program. This is your hard earned money, and this

549
00:28:15,320 --> 00:28:18,240
Speaker 10: is why you ought to maximize the efficiency and effectiveness

550
00:28:18,280 --> 00:28:19,960
Speaker 10: of that investment.

551
00:28:20,000 --> 00:28:21,760
Speaker 4: So you just tell us, sir, where do people go?

552
00:28:22,960 --> 00:28:26,800
Speaker 12: Yeah, please come to ask Chapter dot Org is our website,

553
00:28:26,840 --> 00:28:30,720

Speaker 12: the Medicare plan, We're here to answer it. And there

556
00:28:38,600 --> 00:28:41,760
Speaker 12: are so many of these mistakes that people make along

557
00:28:41,800 --> 00:28:44,120
Speaker 12: the way that as you said, people sign up for

558
00:28:44,160 --> 00:28:47,360
Speaker 12: a plan, they don't realize that they've been pushed into

559
00:28:47,400 --> 00:28:49,120
Speaker 12: a wrong plan until maybe they go try to see

560
00:28:49,120 --> 00:28:51,800
Speaker 12: their doctor and they're not network or their prescription is

561
00:28:51,800 --> 00:28:57,560

00:30:26,640 --> 00:30:28,480
Speaker 10: Let's go I want to go back and play. The

597
00:30:29,680 --> 00:30:32,240
Speaker 10: Intelligence Committe just wrapped up. We're going to have highlights

598
00:30:32,280 --> 00:30:34,920
Speaker 10: this afternoon. Natalie's gonna join us this afternoon.

599
00:30:35,000 --> 00:30:35,480
Speaker 4: I'm already.

600
00:30:35,520 --> 00:30:38,960
Speaker 10: I'm also talking to Jim Hoff about getting Jordan Conrads

601
00:30:39,000 --> 00:30:41,680
Speaker 10: and they asked a brilliant question over at the Pentagon.

602
00:30:41,760 --> 00:30:44,360
Speaker 10: We're going to get Jordan up also, hopefully, but let's

603
00:30:44,400 --> 00:30:47,600
Speaker 10: go ahead and play this. I'm gonna bring Brandon Wikert in.

604
00:30:48,440 --> 00:30:53,120
Speaker 8: The President has stated that his objectives are to destroy

605
00:30:53,280 --> 00:31:00,840
Speaker 8: Iran's ballistic missile launching capability, their ballistic missile production capability

606
00:31:01,640 --> 00:31:06,200
Speaker 8: and their navy, the IRGC navy and mind lank capability.

607
00:31:07,000 --> 00:31:10,800
Speaker 13: So the death and destruction continues, the economic costs the

608
00:31:10,920 --> 00:31:13,560
Speaker 13: United States to Israel, to the Gulf States, and to

609
00:31:13,600 --> 00:31:14,400
Speaker 13: the world.

610
00:31:14,440 --> 00:31:15,520
Speaker 3: Continues to increase.

611
00:31:15,880 --> 00:31:17,640
Speaker 13: So I want to ask you, to the best of

612
00:31:17,680 --> 00:31:20,440
Speaker 13: your knowledge, do you know whether Israel is supportive of

613
00:31:20,480 --> 00:31:22,280
Speaker 13: the President's call to make a deal with Iran.

614
00:31:25,920 --> 00:31:28,360
Speaker 8: I don't know the answer to that. I don't know

615
00:31:28,440 --> 00:31:29,480
Speaker 8: Israel's position on that.

616
00:31:31,240 --> 00:31:33,560
Speaker 13: And to what do you attribute Israel's decision to strike

617
00:31:33,600 --> 00:31:37,920
Speaker 13: Iranian energy infrastructure despite President Trump's call to keep those

618
00:31:37,960 --> 00:31:39,240
Speaker 13: facilities off limits.

619
00:31:41,200 --> 00:31:42,320
Speaker 8: I don't have an answer for that.

620
00:31:50,720 --> 00:31:53,480
Speaker 3: So they ignored the president. Do you agree with that?

621
00:31:56,240 --> 00:32:00,440
Speaker 8: I'm not privy to any of their deliberations or what

622
00:32:00,600 --> 00:32:04,960
Speaker 8: went into their calculus and launching this or other attacks.

623
00:32:06,880 --> 00:32:07,200
Speaker 4: I'm not.

624
00:32:07,440 --> 00:32:10,200
Speaker 8: We are not involved with the in the operational element

625
00:32:10,280 --> 00:32:13,760
Speaker 8: of this. We're providing continuously on a daily basis, the

626
00:32:13,800 --> 00:32:16,680
Speaker 8: intelligence assessments of the events that are occurring.

627
00:32:17,760 --> 00:32:21,320
Speaker 13: And I guess I know the FBI can because they're domestic,

628
00:32:21,360 --> 00:32:24,560
Speaker 13: But can anybody else at the table provide any insight

629
00:32:24,640 --> 00:32:24,960
Speaker 13: into that?

630
00:32:29,880 --> 00:32:33,280
Speaker 1: I guess I'm not sure what the question you're asking, uh,

631
00:32:33,600 --> 00:32:38,400
Speaker 1: Congressman Castro. I guess a couple of things. The goals

632
00:32:38,440 --> 00:32:40,440
Speaker 1: that the presidents set out are clearly defined the D

633
00:32:40,520 --> 00:32:44,200
Speaker 1: and I related those. What was not included is a.

634
00:32:44,200 --> 00:32:47,600
Speaker 3: Goal of the US. Well, Director, let me start with

635
00:32:47,640 --> 00:32:49,520
Speaker 3: the pain, lest me with this question.

636
00:32:49,680 --> 00:32:50,920
Speaker 4: You asked what my change?

637
00:32:51,080 --> 00:32:53,120
Speaker 3: Which let me reclaim my time? Director?

638
00:32:53,160 --> 00:32:57,400
Speaker 13: Come on, do you know why Israel decided to strike

639
00:32:57,440 --> 00:32:59,640
Speaker 13: that infrastructure. I wouldn't like the fact that the president

640
00:32:59,720 --> 00:33:00,960
Speaker 13: said it should be off limits.

641
00:33:01,520 --> 00:33:03,520
Speaker 1: I would I wouldn't speak for Israel.

642
00:33:04,800 --> 00:33:06,640
Speaker 13: And what do you guys know?

643
00:33:07,120 --> 00:33:09,520
Speaker 3: We're at war? What do you guys know. We'll have

644
00:33:09,600 --> 00:33:10,640
Speaker 3: to take that for the record.

645
00:33:11,320 --> 00:33:19,680
Speaker 10: Yes, okay, like I said, regardless of how we got

646
00:33:19,680 --> 00:33:21,640
Speaker 10: in here, and we can debate that. And I'm sure

647
00:33:21,680 --> 00:33:23,200
Speaker 10: that even in the next couple of days of call,

648
00:33:23,440 --> 00:33:26,680
Speaker 10: we are where we are, we have to win. Right

649
00:33:26,720 --> 00:33:29,440
Speaker 10: now the definition of that victory as for the President

650
00:33:29,480 --> 00:33:34,600
Speaker 10: United States. But what the presidented States gave a very

651
00:33:34,640 --> 00:33:38,200
Speaker 10: clear order out to the public, to the country, to

652
00:33:38,240 --> 00:33:44,360
Speaker 10: everybody that Iranian infrastructure, all infrastruture was not to be hit.

653
00:33:45,080 --> 00:33:48,520
Speaker 10: These gas fields were hit deliberately. He said that he

654
00:33:48,600 --> 00:33:51,840
Speaker 10: put out this true social that couldn't be more searing.

655
00:33:51,960 --> 00:33:53,800
Speaker 10: Of course, he put the Uranians on notice too. You

656
00:33:53,920 --> 00:33:55,680
Speaker 10: hit Qatar again, it's going to be the end of you.

657
00:33:56,160 --> 00:33:58,840
Speaker 10: Brandon Wikert. I know we got broader picture to talk

658
00:33:58,880 --> 00:34:01,840
Speaker 10: about the center gravity this of this war, and the

659
00:34:01,920 --> 00:34:05,160
Speaker 10: objectives are very precise, but the objectives are very tied

660
00:34:05,200 --> 00:34:09,080
Speaker 10: to Tehran in Iran. Now we're in the Persian Gulf

661
00:34:09,160 --> 00:34:12,480
Speaker 10: straight her moves, red seat, all of it, and it's rattling.

662
00:34:12,920 --> 00:34:14,480
Speaker 4: Whether you like it or not, whether you.

663
00:34:14,400 --> 00:34:19,080
Speaker 10: Support President Trump or not, the reality is Brent crude

664
00:34:19,080 --> 00:34:20,960
Speaker 10: went up to one hundred nineteens back to one hundred

665
00:34:20,960 --> 00:34:22,719
Speaker 10: and ten, but even in one hundred and ten, it's

666
00:34:22,800 --> 00:34:25,640
Speaker 10: rattling the world's economy in President Trump's economic plan.

667
00:34:25,719 --> 00:34:26,600
Speaker 4: Your thoughts, sir.

668
00:34:27,440 --> 00:34:32,439
Speaker 14: Well, I think that that committee hearing was stunning. I've

669
00:34:32,480 --> 00:34:37,520
Speaker 14: never seen anything like it really ever. Clearly, there is

670
00:34:37,600 --> 00:34:41,600
Speaker 14: a severe breakdown in communication not only between the US

671
00:34:41,640 --> 00:34:45,160
Speaker 14: and its purported allies in the region, but also between

672
00:34:45,320 --> 00:34:48,880
Speaker 14: within the administration itself, and I would encourage everybody in

673
00:34:48,920 --> 00:34:52,719
Speaker 14: the administration get on the same page now because this

674
00:34:52,920 --> 00:34:56,080
Speaker 14: is not going well. The American people do not understand

675
00:34:56,120 --> 00:34:59,520
Speaker 14: what's going on, and Committee briefing like that only.

676
00:34:59,320 --> 00:34:59,960
Speaker 4: Makes it worse.

677
00:35:00,800 --> 00:35:02,280
Speaker 14: And then you add in these high see.

678
00:35:02,120 --> 00:35:05,319
Speaker 10: Here's hang on one second, but this hang on. But

679
00:35:05,360 --> 00:35:08,760
Speaker 10: this is where scent Coom and the Chairman and today

680
00:35:08,760 --> 00:35:12,200
Speaker 10: in his briefing on the index ease, you know, the

681
00:35:12,640 --> 00:35:18,800
Speaker 10: the nuclear program, the missile ballistic missile program, the industrial infrastructure,

682
00:35:19,040 --> 00:35:22,560
Speaker 10: and they keep saying to project power, not internally anymore,

683
00:35:22,640 --> 00:35:25,839
Speaker 10: but against neighbors like Israel and the Gulf, we're methodically

684
00:35:25,880 --> 00:35:28,720
Speaker 10: going down. I also want the audience to understand Pete's

685
00:35:28,719 --> 00:35:31,960
Speaker 10: pretty blunt. Every day it's ratchet up, it's getting more

686
00:35:32,000 --> 00:35:34,280
Speaker 10: intense every day. Today is going to be more intense

687
00:35:34,320 --> 00:35:36,680
Speaker 10: than yesterday. Yesterday was more intense than the other day.

688
00:35:37,080 --> 00:35:38,799
Speaker 10: Now the sorties are going to get to what ten

689
00:35:38,880 --> 00:35:43,239
Speaker 10: or fifteen thousand yea, And you're just grinding this. But

690
00:35:43,320 --> 00:35:46,120
Speaker 10: that doesn't really seem like it's to the heart of

691
00:35:46,280 --> 00:35:49,239
Speaker 10: what this problem is today. What the problem is now?

692
00:35:49,360 --> 00:35:49,640
Speaker 4: Does it?

693
00:35:50,400 --> 00:35:50,560
Speaker 15: No?

694
00:35:50,640 --> 00:35:54,040
Speaker 14: It does not. And furthermore, whatever the Pentagon and scent

695
00:35:54,080 --> 00:35:57,840
Speaker 14: Coom and the Intel community is saying publicly, behind the scenes,

696
00:35:58,080 --> 00:36:00,880
Speaker 14: the Iranians are still popping these missile off You just

697
00:36:01,000 --> 00:36:04,840
Speaker 14: had I texted you shortly a while ago that the

698
00:36:04,920 --> 00:36:07,520
Speaker 14: Qataris are saying they're going to be doing force majeure

699
00:36:08,080 --> 00:36:11,120
Speaker 14: on five year contracts, which means they're going to be

700
00:36:11,120 --> 00:36:14,200
Speaker 14: turning the spickot off because they can't reliably produce oil

701
00:36:14,360 --> 00:36:17,800
Speaker 14: given what's going on. You have the Saudis now, and

702
00:36:18,080 --> 00:36:20,200
Speaker 14: you can talk more about this with Bowling, but the

703
00:36:20,239 --> 00:36:24,120
Speaker 14: Saudi's announced they're they're they're stelling off their gold assets

704
00:36:24,160 --> 00:36:27,640
Speaker 14: now to try to fund their operations going forward because

705
00:36:27,640 --> 00:36:30,440
Speaker 14: it's getting so bad. So the Iranians are still in

706
00:36:30,480 --> 00:36:33,399
Speaker 14: this fight, and the Iranians are still affecting a very

707
00:36:33,480 --> 00:36:37,840
Speaker 14: effective UH strategy of going after the center of gravity,

708
00:36:37,840 --> 00:36:39,840
Speaker 14: as you and I noted last week, which is the

709
00:36:39,840 --> 00:36:42,960
Speaker 14: economies of the region. And you asked about Israel, and

710
00:36:42,960 --> 00:36:45,040
Speaker 14: I would just say that I don't think we have

711
00:36:45,160 --> 00:36:48,440
Speaker 14: any idea who is running Israel right now. I have

712
00:36:48,560 --> 00:36:51,520
Speaker 14: seen no confirmation as to whether or not Netan Yahoo

713
00:36:51,560 --> 00:36:54,000
Speaker 14: is still alive or in command. I have seen no

714
00:36:54,160 --> 00:36:57,200
Speaker 14: confirmation that anyone has succeeded him. I've been hearing.

715
00:36:56,960 --> 00:37:00,239
Speaker 4: Hangovers from me, hang on, hang on, hang on, on,

716
00:37:00,320 --> 00:37:00,640
Speaker 4: hang on.

717
00:37:01,400 --> 00:37:04,239
Speaker 10: That can't be the internet slop that says he's an

718
00:37:04,280 --> 00:37:05,799
Speaker 10: AI figure or anything like that.

719
00:37:05,880 --> 00:37:07,160
Speaker 4: It's got to be more definitive.

720
00:37:07,200 --> 00:37:11,799
Speaker 10: Clearly, the command structure would give some indication if if

721
00:37:11,840 --> 00:37:12,560
Speaker 10: the commander in.

722
00:37:12,520 --> 00:37:15,319
Speaker 4: Chief it's a mess in Israel right now. Military, it's

723
00:37:15,320 --> 00:37:17,600
Speaker 4: a mess in Israel right now. I've heard that the.

724
00:37:17,560 --> 00:37:22,400
Speaker 10: Audio besides, hang on, beside, besides, besides, besides the internet slop.

725
00:37:23,440 --> 00:37:24,839
Speaker 4: Why do why do you say that?

726
00:37:25,800 --> 00:37:31,279
Speaker 14: Well, because the the entire Israeli system seems to be

727
00:37:31,520 --> 00:37:35,040
Speaker 14: in confusion. You have people protesting in Tel Aviv. They're

728
00:37:35,040 --> 00:37:38,000
Speaker 14: not getting water, they can't seem to get the resources

729
00:37:38,040 --> 00:37:40,920
Speaker 14: to putting out fires that they need. There is clearly

730
00:37:41,080 --> 00:37:43,919
Speaker 14: a problem right now. And then also you have these

731
00:37:43,960 --> 00:37:48,200
Speaker 14: intelligence failures going on uh in Lebanon with Massad, where

732
00:37:48,400 --> 00:37:51,200
Speaker 14: they're blowing up targets that are clearly not military. And

733
00:37:51,239 --> 00:37:53,400
Speaker 14: I think it's not all because they're they're trying to

734
00:37:53,480 --> 00:37:56,440
Speaker 14: hurt people. I think they're operating off of bad intelligence

735
00:37:56,480 --> 00:37:58,840
Speaker 14: because Massad's capabilities have been degraded.

736
00:37:59,320 --> 00:38:02,839
Speaker 10: What given the president? I say so, we talked about

737
00:38:03,160 --> 00:38:05,520
Speaker 10: the center of this war. The flip in this war

738
00:38:05,680 --> 00:38:07,759
Speaker 10: was a Saturday night bombing of the of the old

739
00:38:07,800 --> 00:38:10,280
Speaker 10: facilities that turned into a firestorm into Iran.

740
00:38:10,160 --> 00:38:13,360
Speaker 14: That Trump did not want us to do, but the Israelis.

741
00:38:12,880 --> 00:38:16,400
Speaker 10: To do, and it was furious after that, right, he

742
00:38:16,680 --> 00:38:19,040
Speaker 10: put it on notice no more. We got to have

743
00:38:19,080 --> 00:38:23,400
Speaker 10: some incentive for these people to overthrow the theocratic demons.

744
00:38:23,400 --> 00:38:25,120
Speaker 10: Part of that is that they're going to actually have

745
00:38:25,200 --> 00:38:29,319
Speaker 10: some sort of economy efforts. What possessed? What do we

746
00:38:29,400 --> 00:38:32,680
Speaker 10: know now because they're saying President Trump listen, folks, The

747
00:38:32,719 --> 00:38:34,840
Speaker 10: fight on this thing is that they're saying President Trump

748
00:38:34,880 --> 00:38:39,040
Speaker 10: actually signed off on the bombing of the of the

749
00:38:39,120 --> 00:38:42,000
Speaker 10: joint oil and gas field. I just don't think in

750
00:38:42,040 --> 00:38:44,560
Speaker 10: a million years that President Trump would sign off on that.

751
00:38:44,600 --> 00:38:48,680
Speaker 10: What are the Israeli saying was their incentive or why

752
00:38:48,680 --> 00:38:50,440
Speaker 10: did they want to go after that?

753
00:38:50,440 --> 00:38:54,160
Speaker 4: That? It's very simple censor to the Qatar economy.

754
00:38:54,760 --> 00:38:57,160
Speaker 14: They want the not only do they want Iran to

755
00:38:57,160 --> 00:39:00,919
Speaker 14: be collapsed like a Libya model, but they also want

756
00:39:00,960 --> 00:39:04,360
Speaker 14: the surrounding Arab states to be weakened as well, because

757
00:39:04,400 --> 00:39:07,359
Speaker 14: they want the Greater Israel project, which is clearly at

758
00:39:07,400 --> 00:39:09,440
Speaker 14: hand here at least in their minds.

759
00:39:09,440 --> 00:39:09,560
Speaker 13: Now.

760
00:39:09,600 --> 00:39:12,239
Speaker 14: They've been getting slammed, but they're trying desperately to keep

761
00:39:12,239 --> 00:39:15,200
Speaker 14: that viable. So they're going to keep goosing this thing,

762
00:39:15,239 --> 00:39:18,160
Speaker 14: and we saw, you know, we saw implications of this

763
00:39:18,280 --> 00:39:21,840
Speaker 14: or hints of this in the Joe Kent resignation letter

764
00:39:21,880 --> 00:39:24,200
Speaker 14: a couple of days ago, where he explicitly said that

765
00:39:24,239 --> 00:39:27,600
Speaker 14: the Israelis are basically manipulating us into a war. The

766
00:39:27,719 --> 00:39:30,719
Speaker 14: Israelis are on the ground, so they're able to do more,

767
00:39:30,800 --> 00:39:32,799
Speaker 14: even more than we are in terms of kind of

768
00:39:32,920 --> 00:39:34,680
Speaker 14: pushing this thing every.

769
00:39:34,480 --> 00:39:35,359
Speaker 4: Day further down.

770
00:39:35,400 --> 00:39:41,399
Speaker 10: But for such a dramatic, for such a dramatic and

771
00:39:41,440 --> 00:39:43,440
Speaker 10: I'm sure more details are going to come out of it,

772
00:39:44,239 --> 00:39:47,359
Speaker 10: that is a very bold thing to say. I've been

773
00:39:47,480 --> 00:39:49,719
Speaker 10: someone that's saying, hey, we got to look into this, right,

774
00:39:49,760 --> 00:39:51,759
Speaker 10: we got to get to the bottom of this. But

775
00:39:51,880 --> 00:39:54,799
Speaker 10: there weren't a lot of receipts last night when Joe

776
00:39:54,800 --> 00:39:58,160
Speaker 10: went on Tucker. There was some general conversation. But if

777
00:39:58,160 --> 00:40:01,640
Speaker 10: you make that charge, in particular that the President United

778
00:40:01,680 --> 00:40:04,719

00:44:08,360 --> 00:44:12,319
Speaker 18: of nuclear weapons must never be allowed, and that is

839

00:44:16,680 --> 00:44:38,760
Speaker 18: out to other partners in the world. In addition, Japan

841
00:44:38,880 --> 00:44:43,719
Speaker 18: condemns Iran's actions such as attacking the neighboring region and

842
00:44:43,840 --> 00:44:47,280
Speaker 18: also the de facto or effective closure of the Strait

00:47:06,360 --> 00:47:10,600

00:47:33,200 --> 00:47:35,680
Speaker 20: level of support that you're getting from Japan on Iran,

877
00:47:35,800 --> 00:47:37,640
Speaker 20: including around the mine sweepers.

878
00:47:38,040 --> 00:47:41,120
Speaker 16: Well, we're gonna be speaking about it today. Go ahead,

879
00:47:41,120 --> 00:47:41,560

00:47:41,960 --> 00:47:43,280

883
00:47:55,800 --> 00:47:59,560
Speaker 16: We've had tremendous support and relationship with Japan and everything.

884
00:48:00,120 --> 00:48:03,120
Speaker 16: And I believe that based on uh statements that were

885
00:48:03,600 --> 00:48:06,600
Speaker 16: given to us yesterday the day before yesterday having to

886
00:48:06,600 --> 00:48:10,040
Speaker 16: do with Japan. Uh, they are really stepping up to

887
00:48:10,080 --> 00:48:18,080
Speaker 16: the plate. Yes, and.

888
00:48:20,600 --> 00:48:21,080
Speaker 11: Message or.

889
00:48:22,800 --> 00:48:25,640
Speaker 3: Unlike NATO, musn't it.

890
00:48:26,360 --> 00:48:26,680
Speaker 16: Please?

891
00:48:27,719 --> 00:48:30,520
Speaker 12: Do you intend to lift sanctions on Iranian oil? And

892
00:48:30,560 --> 00:48:33,960
Speaker 12: do you intend to potentially put US troops or more

893
00:48:34,000 --> 00:48:34,920
Speaker 12: troops in the region.

894
00:48:35,400 --> 00:48:39,359
Speaker 16: No, I'm not putting troops anywhere. If I if I were,

895
00:48:39,480 --> 00:48:42,719
Speaker 16: certainly wouldn't tell you. But I'm not putting troops, and

896
00:48:42,840 --> 00:48:46,640
Speaker 16: we will do whatever is necessary to keep the price

897
00:48:47,320 --> 00:48:49,799
Speaker 16: as well. I I actually thought when I did this, Look,

898
00:48:50,520 --> 00:48:53,479
Speaker 16: the Dow just hit fifty thousand couple of weeks ago.

899
00:48:54,360 --> 00:48:54,520
Speaker 7: Uh.

900
00:48:54,560 --> 00:48:57,040
Speaker 16: They said that couldn't happen for four years, It wouldn't

901
00:48:57,040 --> 00:48:59,680
Speaker 16: happen in my term. But it's such a outrageous thing

902
00:48:59,719 --> 00:49:01,839
Speaker 16: because I said it would happen. I didn't know it

903
00:49:01,880 --> 00:49:04,880
Speaker 16: was going to happen that fast. But just hit fifty thousand,

904
00:49:05,520 --> 00:49:08,480
Speaker 16: and we did that in one year, not four s

905
00:49:08,520 --> 00:49:11,360
Speaker 16: and p had just hit seven thousand. They said that

906
00:49:11,480 --> 00:49:14,719
Speaker 16: was even more impossible than the Dow hitting fifty.

907
00:49:15,040 --> 00:49:16,319
Speaker 3: And we did that in one year.

908
00:49:16,360 --> 00:49:19,080
Speaker 16: So it was all done. Everything was going great. The

909
00:49:19,120 --> 00:49:22,520
Speaker 16: economy is great, Oil prices were very low, Gasoline was

910
00:49:22,560 --> 00:49:26,120
Speaker 16: dropping to I mean, we had a dollar ninety nine

911
00:49:26,320 --> 00:49:29,919
Speaker 16: dollars eighty five. We had great everything and I saw

912
00:49:29,960 --> 00:49:33,279
Speaker 16: what was happening in Iran, and I said, I hate

913
00:49:33,320 --> 00:49:35,279
Speaker 16: to make this excursion, but we're going to have to

914
00:49:35,320 --> 00:49:38,400
Speaker 16: do it. And I actually thought the numbers would be worse.

915
00:49:38,440 --> 00:49:41,160
Speaker 16: I thought that it would go up more than it did.

916
00:49:42,080 --> 00:49:45,480
Speaker 16: But we're doing this excursion and when it's completed, we're

917
00:49:45,480 --> 00:49:48,319
Speaker 16: going to have a much safer world. And the Prime

918
00:49:48,360 --> 00:49:50,560
Speaker 16: Minister agrees with me in this. She considers it to

919
00:49:50,600 --> 00:49:53,560
Speaker 16: be terrible. What I think every country does, just about

920
00:49:53,560 --> 00:49:56,879
Speaker 16: every country does. Iran is a serious threat to the world,

921
00:49:56,960 --> 00:50:00,800
Speaker 16: to the Middle East center of the world. Everybody agrees

922
00:50:00,840 --> 00:50:03,680
Speaker 16: with me. I think virtually every country agrees with me

923
00:50:03,760 --> 00:50:07,720
Speaker 16: on that. So I wanted to put out that fire,

924
00:50:08,480 --> 00:50:10,760
Speaker 16: and I said, you know, we do that, oil prices

925
00:50:10,800 --> 00:50:13,040
Speaker 16: will go up, the economy will go down a little bit.

926
00:50:13,280 --> 00:50:16,279
Speaker 16: I thought it would be worse, much worse. Actually, I

927
00:50:16,280 --> 00:50:18,040
Speaker 16: thought there was a chance it could be much worse.

928
00:50:18,080 --> 00:50:19,600
Speaker 16: It's not bad, and it's going to be over with

929
00:50:19,680 --> 00:50:24,680
Speaker 16: pretty soon. We've obliterated the Navy. We've obliterated there just

930
00:50:24,719 --> 00:50:28,879
Speaker 16: about everything there is to obliterate, including leadership. The Navy's gone,

931
00:50:28,920 --> 00:50:32,440
Speaker 16: their air force is gone, their anti aircraft equipment is gone.

932
00:50:32,440 --> 00:50:36,480
Speaker 16: We're flying wherever we want, Pete, we have nobody even

933
00:50:36,520 --> 00:50:41,520
Speaker 16: shooting at us. They have, I mean, and as you know,

934
00:50:41,960 --> 00:50:45,600
