1 00:00:00,280 --> 00:00:03,880 Speaker 1: Welcome in Clay Travis buck Sexton Show. 2 00:00:04,120 --> 00:00:05,280 Speaker 2: Wednesday edition. 3 00:00:05,519 --> 00:00:10,440 Speaker 1: The primary in Texas is over continued discussion of the 4 00:00:10,480 --> 00:00:14,280 Speaker 1: war in Iran. Our buddy Jesse Kelly will join us 5 00:00:14,400 --> 00:00:17,239 Speaker 1: in the second hour. In the third hour, we are 6 00:00:17,280 --> 00:00:20,680 Speaker 1: hoping that maybe io Eckstein will be able to join us. 7 00:00:20,720 --> 00:00:24,560 Speaker 1: She is from the IFCJ. As missiles are raining down 8 00:00:24,600 --> 00:00:27,680 Speaker 1: on Israel. We will see whether that ends up happening 9 00:00:27,880 --> 00:00:30,600 Speaker 1: or not. But we appreciate all of you hanging out 10 00:00:30,640 --> 00:00:33,720 Speaker 1: with us, and let's go right to it. I've said 11 00:00:33,760 --> 00:00:40,080 Speaker 1: before Buck that I love early morning press conferences, and 12 00:00:40,159 --> 00:00:43,720 Speaker 1: I understand that people in media do not like to 13 00:00:43,760 --> 00:00:46,200 Speaker 1: get up early in the morning. I had five years 14 00:00:46,240 --> 00:00:51,560 Speaker 1: of early morning radio nobody else was awake. I love 15 00:00:51,720 --> 00:00:55,279 Speaker 1: making media members get up early and have to go 16 00:00:55,440 --> 00:00:57,760 Speaker 1: cover events. I've talked about it at the White House. 17 00:00:58,120 --> 00:01:02,920 Speaker 1: I particularly love that the Secretary of War and that 18 00:01:03,000 --> 00:01:07,120 Speaker 1: everybody there is doing early morning press conferences because it 19 00:01:07,240 --> 00:01:11,400 Speaker 1: sets the entire agenda of the day. And here is 20 00:01:11,480 --> 00:01:16,520 Speaker 1: what I thought was the most significant aspect of what 21 00:01:16,800 --> 00:01:22,000 Speaker 1: Secretary of War Pete Hegseth said that basically, and Buck, 22 00:01:22,080 --> 00:01:24,600 Speaker 1: I want you to analyze this as well. We are 23 00:01:24,640 --> 00:01:28,720 Speaker 1: close to having complete and total control of the skies 24 00:01:28,920 --> 00:01:32,680 Speaker 1: over Iran. Here is cut six. 25 00:01:37,760 --> 00:01:41,680 Speaker 3: US and Israeli air power every minute of every day 26 00:01:41,840 --> 00:01:44,800 Speaker 3: until we decide it's over in Iran, we'll be able 27 00:01:44,840 --> 00:01:47,480 Speaker 3: to do nothing about it. B two S B fifty 28 00:01:47,480 --> 00:01:51,360 Speaker 3: two s B ones, predator drones, fighters controlling the skies, 29 00:01:51,760 --> 00:01:58,120 Speaker 3: picking targets, death and destruction from the sky all day long. 30 00:01:58,320 --> 00:02:02,680 Speaker 3: We're playing for keeps. Fighters have maximum authorities granted personally 31 00:02:02,720 --> 00:02:04,080 Speaker 3: by the President and yours. 32 00:02:04,160 --> 00:02:04,520 Speaker 2: Truly. 33 00:02:04,680 --> 00:02:08,160 Speaker 3: Our rules of engagement are bold, precise, and designed to 34 00:02:08,240 --> 00:02:11,840 Speaker 3: unleash American power, not shackle it. This was never meant 35 00:02:12,000 --> 00:02:14,680 Speaker 3: to be a fair fight, and it is not a 36 00:02:14,680 --> 00:02:17,040 Speaker 3: fair fight. We are punching them while they're down, which 37 00:02:17,080 --> 00:02:18,280 Speaker 3: is exactly how it should be. 38 00:02:19,440 --> 00:02:22,200 Speaker 1: All right, we're finishing them. Would be another way of 39 00:02:22,240 --> 00:02:24,160 Speaker 1: pointing this out. Buck Let me hit you with another 40 00:02:24,160 --> 00:02:27,880 Speaker 1: couple of pieces of data. Raisin Kine, as Trump calls him, 41 00:02:28,800 --> 00:02:33,280 Speaker 1: General Kane, says Iran's this is a direct quote. Ballistic 42 00:02:33,320 --> 00:02:37,040 Speaker 1: missile shots fired are down eighty six percent from the 43 00:02:37,080 --> 00:02:41,200 Speaker 1: first day of fighting, twenty three percent decrease just in 44 00:02:41,240 --> 00:02:44,600 Speaker 1: the last twenty four hours. One way attack drones down 45 00:02:44,840 --> 00:02:49,560 Speaker 1: seventy three percent from the opening salvos that were fired. 46 00:02:50,400 --> 00:02:54,600 Speaker 1: Why is this significant because what we are seeing is 47 00:02:55,040 --> 00:02:58,560 Speaker 1: Iran's ability to fire back is diminishing in a hurry. 48 00:02:59,320 --> 00:03:03,200 Speaker 1: And I I understand that the talking points are this 49 00:03:03,240 --> 00:03:06,880 Speaker 1: war has just begun. I think that is largely to 50 00:03:07,880 --> 00:03:11,560 Speaker 1: try to drive Iran towards an agreement on who the 51 00:03:11,639 --> 00:03:15,280 Speaker 1: next leader will be. But to me, the story now, 52 00:03:15,320 --> 00:03:18,480 Speaker 1: and you correct me if you see anything else here, 53 00:03:18,560 --> 00:03:22,359 Speaker 1: is Iran's ability to fire back sort of indiscriminately, which 54 00:03:22,360 --> 00:03:26,840 Speaker 1: they've been doing peppering many different Gulf states with drones 55 00:03:26,919 --> 00:03:31,760 Speaker 1: with missiles is basically vanishing. Soon it will be gone, 56 00:03:32,360 --> 00:03:35,880 Speaker 1: and when that occurs, America's air superiority will be even 57 00:03:35,920 --> 00:03:38,960 Speaker 1: more pronounced. And then it's really just a question of 58 00:03:39,360 --> 00:03:43,400 Speaker 1: to what extent is Iran willing to negotiate with us 59 00:03:43,720 --> 00:03:46,960 Speaker 1: to determine what their new government will look like and 60 00:03:46,960 --> 00:03:50,400 Speaker 1: who the leaders are. Is that a fair assessment in 61 00:03:50,440 --> 00:03:57,760 Speaker 1: your mind? Well, mostly yes, except negotiate with whom This 62 00:03:57,840 --> 00:04:00,520 Speaker 1: is the problem is that there really is not a 63 00:04:02,480 --> 00:04:08,720 Speaker 1: sort of set and clear alternative to what we currently have, 64 00:04:09,880 --> 00:04:13,640 Speaker 1: which is now gone, or rather is mostly gone, And 65 00:04:13,920 --> 00:04:16,600 Speaker 1: there's a lot of factionalism. This is where you get 66 00:04:16,640 --> 00:04:21,240 Speaker 1: into This is a large and complicated country. We've thought 67 00:04:21,240 --> 00:04:23,680 Speaker 1: of it as in this country. I think a lot 68 00:04:23,720 --> 00:04:26,040 Speaker 1: of the media coverage has made people think of it 69 00:04:26,080 --> 00:04:29,440 Speaker 1: more as a monolith. People will refer to all Iranians 70 00:04:29,480 --> 00:04:31,919 Speaker 1: as Persians. Well, Persians are just one ethnic group actually 71 00:04:31,920 --> 00:04:34,599 Speaker 1: in around sixty percent according to the numbers that I 72 00:04:34,640 --> 00:04:40,800 Speaker 1: saw Buck. There are Kurds, there are Azeris, there are Turkmen, 73 00:04:40,960 --> 00:04:44,360 Speaker 1: there are I mean, there are so many different ethnic 74 00:04:44,760 --> 00:04:47,880 Speaker 1: factions otherwise that I can't name. I mean there's a 75 00:04:47,920 --> 00:04:50,240 Speaker 1: dozen or more that will make the list. There's a 76 00:04:50,279 --> 00:04:53,680 Speaker 1: lot of them. As the point, and when you actually 77 00:04:54,600 --> 00:05:00,159 Speaker 1: talk about a resistance forming from within, I think what 78 00:05:00,200 --> 00:05:04,240 Speaker 1: we what we want? Clay, the lesson of Iraq is 79 00:05:04,279 --> 00:05:09,000 Speaker 1: you cannot remove everybody who had any function in the 80 00:05:09,040 --> 00:05:14,560 Speaker 1: pre previous government unless you want bloody anarchy, which is 81 00:05:14,560 --> 00:05:18,000 Speaker 1: what we ended up getting. You cannot have every person 82 00:05:18,040 --> 00:05:22,039 Speaker 1: who ever held a gun for and and received a 83 00:05:22,080 --> 00:05:25,560 Speaker 1: paycheck from a government that is what was run by 84 00:05:25,560 --> 00:05:29,320 Speaker 1: the Ayatola or formerly run by the Ayatola. 85 00:05:29,920 --> 00:05:32,080 Speaker 2: Uh. You can't get rid of all of them. 86 00:05:32,520 --> 00:05:39,640 Speaker 1: You need somebody from within who has enough Uh, Wasta. 87 00:05:39,720 --> 00:05:41,400 Speaker 1: I think they would say in the in the in Arabic, 88 00:05:41,440 --> 00:05:43,560 Speaker 1: in the Middle East, you need somebody with enough juice 89 00:05:44,279 --> 00:05:48,159 Speaker 1: that they can say, all right, we can calm things down. 90 00:05:48,440 --> 00:05:52,920 Speaker 1: We can approach America or American intermediaries directly. There's already 91 00:05:53,279 --> 00:05:56,080 Speaker 1: reporting out there. I mean, there's reporting up on CNN 92 00:05:57,120 --> 00:06:00,560 Speaker 1: of I mean, this is the CNN report. It says 93 00:06:00,560 --> 00:06:03,599 Speaker 1: c I A working to arm Kurdish Kurdish forces to 94 00:06:03,640 --> 00:06:06,720 Speaker 1: spark uprising in Iran, according to sources. Is that true? 95 00:06:06,800 --> 00:06:09,360 Speaker 1: Is that not true? This is what this is what 96 00:06:09,440 --> 00:06:13,560 Speaker 1: CNN is reporting. I can tell you this. That's that 97 00:06:13,680 --> 00:06:16,560 Speaker 1: comes with a lot the whole Kurdish thing. We went 98 00:06:16,600 --> 00:06:20,960 Speaker 1: through this in Iraq, and the Kurds are often pretty 99 00:06:21,000 --> 00:06:26,000 Speaker 1: reliable allies they fight. They kept northern Iraq very stable 100 00:06:26,080 --> 00:06:30,279 Speaker 1: even during the worst periods of the Iraqi insurgency. Anybody 101 00:06:30,320 --> 00:06:33,039 Speaker 1: who was if you went from you know, Baghdad or 102 00:06:33,080 --> 00:06:38,039 Speaker 1: Ramadi or or Mozil to Airbil. In the military military side, 103 00:06:38,080 --> 00:06:40,600 Speaker 1: it felt like you were in a completely different country. Uh, 104 00:06:40,600 --> 00:06:43,240 Speaker 1: if you were in what they called Kurdistan. But the 105 00:06:43,279 --> 00:06:46,920 Speaker 1: Turks get very aggravated because there's a lot of a 106 00:06:47,040 --> 00:06:49,200 Speaker 1: lot of Kurds in Turkey, and they have their own 107 00:06:49,240 --> 00:06:53,679 Speaker 1: separatist problem in Turkey. So it's just you're you're getting 108 00:06:53,680 --> 00:06:58,240 Speaker 1: into midiese factionalism here. What you need is someone who 109 00:06:58,320 --> 00:07:03,960 Speaker 1: is a rational actor from within the existing apparatus, not 110 00:07:04,600 --> 00:07:09,760 Speaker 1: an ideologue, not bloodied substantially by engaged in you know, 111 00:07:09,880 --> 00:07:13,920 Speaker 1: IRGC coulds for stuff or whatever. Does this person exist? 112 00:07:14,800 --> 00:07:18,080 Speaker 1: I don't know. I you know, we talked about Vene. 113 00:07:18,200 --> 00:07:24,000 Speaker 1: Venezuela is different. Venezuela has had democratic elections until quite recently. 114 00:07:24,560 --> 00:07:27,400 Speaker 1: And yes there's oppression, and there's been the you know, 115 00:07:27,440 --> 00:07:32,119 Speaker 1: the Majuro regime stole the last election, and yes they've 116 00:07:32,160 --> 00:07:35,240 Speaker 1: been thaugish. But Clay, you don't have to go back 117 00:07:35,360 --> 00:07:38,360 Speaker 1: very far for there to be something resembling a real 118 00:07:38,400 --> 00:07:42,000 Speaker 1: election in Venezuela. You go back to twenty twelve, right, right, 119 00:07:42,240 --> 00:07:45,040 Speaker 1: And and that's when Chavez took took charge. 120 00:07:45,080 --> 00:07:48,360 Speaker 2: I believe, right, wasn't it twenty twelve, twenty eleven, twenty twelve. 121 00:07:48,840 --> 00:07:53,920 Speaker 1: So in the Islamic Republic you got to talk rather, 122 00:07:54,080 --> 00:07:57,160 Speaker 1: you know, in Iran you got to go back to 123 00:07:57,280 --> 00:07:59,840 Speaker 1: nineteen seventy nine, and even then they didn't have elections. 124 00:08:00,040 --> 00:08:03,600 Speaker 2: They had a shaw. So what is the game plan 125 00:08:03,720 --> 00:08:04,400 Speaker 2: for all of this? 126 00:08:05,040 --> 00:08:07,360 Speaker 1: I think it's being figured out on the fly, But 127 00:08:07,440 --> 00:08:10,560 Speaker 1: I think that Secretary of War hegseats plan is We're 128 00:08:10,560 --> 00:08:13,960 Speaker 1: going to completely defang the snake and then we'll see 129 00:08:13,960 --> 00:08:16,160 Speaker 1: if the snake wants to play ball. But the snake 130 00:08:16,200 --> 00:08:18,000 Speaker 1: will have no fangs, that is for sure. 131 00:08:19,240 --> 00:08:20,760 Speaker 2: And I just let me. 132 00:08:21,560 --> 00:08:23,400 Speaker 1: Let me make a suggestion, because I know we got 133 00:08:23,400 --> 00:08:27,560 Speaker 1: a lot of people in the administration who listen. I 134 00:08:27,600 --> 00:08:30,240 Speaker 1: think one of the most compelling arguments they can make. 135 00:08:30,760 --> 00:08:33,160 Speaker 1: And Buck again, tell me if you think this is crazy. 136 00:08:33,200 --> 00:08:35,840 Speaker 1: I made it yesterday, but I haven't seen it because 137 00:08:35,880 --> 00:08:39,000 Speaker 1: now the argument is well, they haven't really been able 138 00:08:39,080 --> 00:08:42,320 Speaker 1: to give us a full throated explanation of what the 139 00:08:42,360 --> 00:08:44,959 Speaker 1: motivation is. Well, the motivation is clearly to keep Iran 140 00:08:45,000 --> 00:08:48,959 Speaker 1: from getting nuclear weapons. That's the motivation for all of this. 141 00:08:48,960 --> 00:08:52,719 Speaker 1: This is basically doing to Iran what we should have 142 00:08:52,800 --> 00:08:56,120 Speaker 1: done to North Korea in the nineteen nineties. The world 143 00:08:56,160 --> 00:09:00,160 Speaker 1: would be infinitely better if that crazy fat dictator in 144 00:09:00,200 --> 00:09:03,880 Speaker 1: North Korea did not have nuclear weapons, and and now 145 00:09:03,920 --> 00:09:07,360 Speaker 1: that he does, we can't really do anything. The world 146 00:09:07,440 --> 00:09:11,200 Speaker 1: is unstable because of him. 147 00:09:11,480 --> 00:09:13,080 Speaker 2: Do we want a Now. 148 00:09:13,200 --> 00:09:15,960 Speaker 1: The only thing I will say in favor of Kim 149 00:09:16,040 --> 00:09:17,800 Speaker 1: jong Un probably get clipped. 150 00:09:17,800 --> 00:09:20,040 Speaker 2: People will be like Clay Travis loves Kim jong Un. 151 00:09:20,440 --> 00:09:23,880 Speaker 1: Clay Travis loves Kim jong Un, loves all the big posters, 152 00:09:23,960 --> 00:09:26,640 Speaker 1: the pot belly, all of it. Big Kim jong Un 153 00:09:26,720 --> 00:09:30,400 Speaker 1: guy here, he's not a religious fundamentalist. That's the only 154 00:09:30,480 --> 00:09:34,079 Speaker 1: thing I think you can say in his favor in 155 00:09:34,160 --> 00:09:38,000 Speaker 1: your Korea. I don't think he's a religious fundamentalist. You know, 156 00:09:38,559 --> 00:09:41,360 Speaker 1: he's just he's just God. But that's the whole He 157 00:09:41,400 --> 00:09:45,280 Speaker 1: thinks he's God. But yeah, well that's but my point 158 00:09:45,280 --> 00:09:47,880 Speaker 1: when you're God. But yeah, okay, Well my point is 159 00:09:47,920 --> 00:09:51,000 Speaker 1: he's not reading a book convinced that everybody else who 160 00:09:51,040 --> 00:09:55,080 Speaker 1: is not a member of that religion is an infidel. 161 00:09:55,240 --> 00:09:58,760 Speaker 1: And he's not trying to impose his religion. I don't 162 00:09:58,760 --> 00:10:01,160 Speaker 1: think so. I look, you're kind of too hard after 163 00:10:02,720 --> 00:10:04,800 Speaker 1: I'm pretty familiar with North Korea stuff, and I got 164 00:10:04,800 --> 00:10:09,400 Speaker 1: to tell you, they they have the most crazy. They're 165 00:10:09,520 --> 00:10:13,920 Speaker 1: absolutely you know, like we are vermin. We not non 166 00:10:14,040 --> 00:10:17,480 Speaker 1: Koreans are considered vermin in North Korean propaganda, I mean 167 00:10:17,480 --> 00:10:20,880 Speaker 1: actually sub human. Uh And and they use all kinds 168 00:10:20,920 --> 00:10:22,320 Speaker 1: of but. 169 00:10:21,720 --> 00:10:25,240 Speaker 2: But it's it's a crazy place. We agree, we. 170 00:10:25,520 --> 00:10:28,080 Speaker 1: We wish that they did not have nuclear weapons. My 171 00:10:28,240 --> 00:10:33,000 Speaker 1: point is, to my knowledge, North Korea has been unable 172 00:10:33,120 --> 00:10:37,160 Speaker 1: to in some way or even demonstrate that they're going 173 00:10:37,200 --> 00:10:40,080 Speaker 1: to enact terror upon the rest of the world in 174 00:10:40,160 --> 00:10:42,600 Speaker 1: a substantial way. I know they had the one attack 175 00:10:42,640 --> 00:10:43,240 Speaker 1: on the subway. 176 00:10:43,720 --> 00:10:46,280 Speaker 2: They do terror. They do the terrorism thing too. Your 177 00:10:46,360 --> 00:10:48,760 Speaker 2: your point is that you're. 178 00:10:50,160 --> 00:10:53,240 Speaker 1: Trying to be positive here in saying that I think 179 00:10:53,280 --> 00:10:58,040 Speaker 1: Iran having nuclear weapons is even more dangerous than North Korea. 180 00:10:58,559 --> 00:11:02,960 Speaker 1: But the argument should be that North Korea having nuclear 181 00:11:03,040 --> 00:11:06,760 Speaker 1: weapons is absolutely awful for the world, and if we 182 00:11:06,840 --> 00:11:09,200 Speaker 1: had been smart in the early nineties, we would have 183 00:11:09,240 --> 00:11:12,480 Speaker 1: wiped out their ability to ever have nuclear weapons. 184 00:11:12,800 --> 00:11:14,280 Speaker 2: That's what we're doing with Iran. 185 00:11:14,840 --> 00:11:17,680 Speaker 1: And I think Iran is even more dangerous than North 186 00:11:17,760 --> 00:11:23,040 Speaker 1: Korea based on what they have demonstrated for fifty years 187 00:11:23,080 --> 00:11:26,559 Speaker 1: now that they want to wipe many countries off the world, 188 00:11:26,679 --> 00:11:29,840 Speaker 1: including Israel, but also death to America everything else. 189 00:11:30,160 --> 00:11:32,320 Speaker 2: So the argument to me is pretty clear. 190 00:11:32,480 --> 00:11:35,960 Speaker 1: It is President Trump is making a determination that for 191 00:11:36,000 --> 00:11:39,040 Speaker 1: the next forty years or fifty years, or who knows, 192 00:11:39,080 --> 00:11:41,120 Speaker 1: how long we're not going to have to deal with 193 00:11:41,120 --> 00:11:43,960 Speaker 1: the nuclear Iran because it destabilizes the rest of the 194 00:11:44,000 --> 00:11:47,040 Speaker 1: world even more than North Korea does now. And if 195 00:11:47,040 --> 00:11:49,360 Speaker 1: we could go back in time into the nineties, we 196 00:11:49,400 --> 00:11:52,080 Speaker 1: would have wiped out North Korea's nuclear ambitions. I haven't 197 00:11:52,080 --> 00:11:54,400 Speaker 1: heard anybody make that argument. I think that's the best 198 00:11:54,520 --> 00:11:56,880 Speaker 1: argument for what we're doing with Iran right now. We 199 00:11:56,920 --> 00:12:00,880 Speaker 1: certainly didn't want another nuclear standoff like what we had 200 00:12:01,080 --> 00:12:04,760 Speaker 1: with North Korea. But North Korea has already been whether 201 00:12:04,800 --> 00:12:13,079 Speaker 1: it's for proliferation or uh destabilizing activity, support of terrorism, assassinations, kidnappings. 202 00:12:14,000 --> 00:12:18,920 Speaker 1: The North Korean Intelligence Service operates like a a. 203 00:12:19,120 --> 00:12:24,880 Speaker 2: A nation state backed you know, basically terrorist operation. 204 00:12:24,960 --> 00:12:27,560 Speaker 1: So you're my argument of trying to be kind and 205 00:12:27,640 --> 00:12:31,480 Speaker 1: say that Iran is a more dangerous North Korea, you 206 00:12:31,520 --> 00:12:33,200 Speaker 1: actually think North Korea might be more. 207 00:12:33,360 --> 00:12:35,720 Speaker 2: Korea is the craziest place. North Korea is the craziest 208 00:12:35,720 --> 00:12:36,600 Speaker 2: place on planet Earth. 209 00:12:36,640 --> 00:12:38,599 Speaker 1: By I was too kind, I was too kind to 210 00:12:38,640 --> 00:12:42,800 Speaker 1: Kim Jong uk. It would be good, it would be 211 00:12:42,840 --> 00:12:45,400 Speaker 1: good if we didn't have a North Korean twin with 212 00:12:45,520 --> 00:12:49,200 Speaker 1: nuclear weapons. That to me is a really signed that 213 00:12:49,240 --> 00:12:51,880 Speaker 1: we did not need to understand, I co signed that 214 00:12:51,920 --> 00:12:55,839 Speaker 1: we did not need a country with totalitarian dictatorship that 215 00:12:56,480 --> 00:13:00,760 Speaker 1: also believes if we have a massive war will harken 216 00:13:00,800 --> 00:13:04,040 Speaker 1: the return of the twelfth Imam and there's religious prophecy 217 00:13:04,440 --> 00:13:07,439 Speaker 1: that will come out of the nuclear flames. But North 218 00:13:07,520 --> 00:13:09,560 Speaker 1: Korea does want to kill everybody in South Korea and 219 00:13:09,600 --> 00:13:12,720 Speaker 1: probably America too, So we got they really do or 220 00:13:12,800 --> 00:13:15,720 Speaker 1: is that just a delusional crazy person? 221 00:13:16,440 --> 00:13:17,200 Speaker 2: More so like the. 222 00:13:18,920 --> 00:13:22,320 Speaker 1: Executed senior generals of the North Korean regime with anti 223 00:13:22,400 --> 00:13:25,880 Speaker 1: aircraft pieces just to make a point, They're pretty crazy. 224 00:13:26,160 --> 00:13:29,120 Speaker 1: He's crazy. It's bad that he has nuclear weapons. I 225 00:13:29,360 --> 00:13:32,400 Speaker 1: just I look at North Korea and say, if Kim 226 00:13:32,480 --> 00:13:35,960 Speaker 1: Jong un was gone, I think North Korea actually could 227 00:13:36,040 --> 00:13:40,160 Speaker 1: reconciliate with South Korea, and there is a way in 228 00:13:40,200 --> 00:13:42,400 Speaker 1: which that country eventually. 229 00:13:41,880 --> 00:13:44,080 Speaker 2: Could return to normalcy in the world. 230 00:13:45,240 --> 00:13:49,439 Speaker 1: And and much of it is a cult of personality 231 00:13:49,520 --> 00:13:54,400 Speaker 1: driven around one person. And uh, maybe I'm just too 232 00:13:54,480 --> 00:13:56,760 Speaker 1: kind of North Korea. There is the possibility, maybe the 233 00:13:56,800 --> 00:13:59,440 Speaker 1: headline play is too kind of North Korea. You're gonna 234 00:13:59,440 --> 00:14:01,679 Speaker 1: you're gonna get a invite to peong Yang at this rate, 235 00:14:01,760 --> 00:14:04,280 Speaker 1: you and he and Dennis Rodman. We're gonna be just 236 00:14:04,400 --> 00:14:07,040 Speaker 1: chilling playing a basketball game with with my boy Kim 237 00:14:07,120 --> 00:14:10,640 Speaker 1: Jong Un. I will say the stories of what they 238 00:14:10,679 --> 00:14:15,240 Speaker 1: did when that movie was made about the assassination of 239 00:14:15,320 --> 00:14:18,320 Speaker 1: Kim Jong Un. Uh the interview I think with uh 240 00:14:18,679 --> 00:14:22,000 Speaker 1: with James who did that movie back in the day. 241 00:14:22,000 --> 00:14:24,520 Speaker 1: Do you remember that movie where they James Franco, James 242 00:14:24,520 --> 00:14:28,600 Speaker 1: Franco and Seth Rogan that led to the hacking of Sony, 243 00:14:28,800 --> 00:14:31,000 Speaker 1: which was a huge problem. By the way, just the 244 00:14:31,000 --> 00:14:33,840 Speaker 1: point about North Korea, Clay, they also operate as nation 245 00:14:33,960 --> 00:14:39,000 Speaker 1: state backed global hackers trying to everything from crypto to 246 00:14:39,240 --> 00:14:40,920 Speaker 1: state secrets to and. 247 00:14:40,920 --> 00:14:41,520 Speaker 2: What are you gonna do? 248 00:14:41,600 --> 00:14:43,560 Speaker 1: You're gonna go ton Interpol and say hey, we think 249 00:14:43,560 --> 00:14:45,400 Speaker 1: that we trace the source to North Korea. 250 00:14:45,680 --> 00:14:46,760 Speaker 2: Good luck with that one. 251 00:14:46,920 --> 00:14:48,920 Speaker 1: But if we could go back in time and wave 252 00:14:48,920 --> 00:14:51,400 Speaker 1: a magic wand and we wiped out North Korea's ability 253 00:14:51,440 --> 00:14:53,960 Speaker 1: to ever have nuclear weapons, North Korea might not exist 254 00:14:54,000 --> 00:14:56,960 Speaker 1: as a country today, right, Like that been true? 255 00:14:57,520 --> 00:14:58,400 Speaker 2: That was so the. 256 00:14:58,400 --> 00:15:03,080 Speaker 1: Analogy here of trying to avoid creating another North Korea, 257 00:15:03,120 --> 00:15:04,400 Speaker 1: to me, I think is a really good one. Have 258 00:15:04,440 --> 00:15:07,120 Speaker 1: you heard anybody making that argument. I haven't heard it. Anywhere. Well, 259 00:15:07,360 --> 00:15:09,520 Speaker 1: the argument you will hear people make is the is 260 00:15:09,560 --> 00:15:13,320 Speaker 1: the Kadafi lesson, isn't reconcile with America. 261 00:15:13,360 --> 00:15:15,360 Speaker 2: If you're a dictator, it's geting. 262 00:15:15,160 --> 00:15:18,760 Speaker 1: Nukes as fast as you can, because otherwise that's that's 263 00:15:18,800 --> 00:15:21,120 Speaker 1: the other side. Always, that's the rational choice to make. 264 00:15:21,120 --> 00:15:23,840 Speaker 1: And if you question it, Ukraine wouldn't have gotten invaded 265 00:15:23,840 --> 00:15:27,880 Speaker 1: by Russia if they hadn't given up their nukes. That's 266 00:15:27,920 --> 00:15:30,360 Speaker 1: also true. And we promised them that that would never 267 00:15:30,400 --> 00:15:32,840 Speaker 1: have it, protect them and allow that to happen. The 268 00:15:32,840 --> 00:15:35,520 Speaker 1: Bunipest memorandum. Yeah, not good. 269 00:15:35,600 --> 00:15:35,880 Speaker 2: Not good. 270 00:15:36,520 --> 00:15:39,760 Speaker 1: Our partners at the International Fellowship of Christians and Jews 271 00:15:40,080 --> 00:15:42,640 Speaker 1: are on the ground in Israel right now.

It turns out that's exactly what 290 00:16:44,640 --> 00:16:47,000 Speaker 1: Secretary of Rubio said, Great minds think alike. 291 00:16:47,040 --> 00:16:48,880 Speaker 2: I didn't even know about this one. Here's Secretary of 292 00:16:48,920 --> 00:16:49,720 Speaker 2: Rubio play it. 293 00:16:50,080 --> 00:16:51,840 Speaker 5: From what I've been told by the Department of War, 294 00:16:52,040 --> 00:16:54,960 Speaker 5: everything is on or ahead of schedule and proceeding on 295 00:16:55,000 --> 00:16:57,480 Speaker 5: these objectives. We have every confidence in the world that 296 00:16:57,520 --> 00:17:00,320 Speaker 5: these objectives will be achieved. The last point I would 297 00:17:00,360 --> 00:17:02,360 Speaker 5: make is, and I said this yesterday, and I repeat, 298 00:17:02,640 --> 00:17:05,520 Speaker 5: what's about You know you're about to see you know, 299 00:17:05,520 --> 00:17:07,280 Speaker 5: we're going to unleash Chang on these people in the 300 00:17:07,359 --> 00:17:09,680 Speaker 5: next few hours and days.

As frankly, the two most powerful 303 00:17:15,200 --> 00:17:18,600 Speaker 5: air forces in the world take apart this terroristic regime 304 00:17:18,880 --> 00:17:21,240 Speaker 5: and defang it and take away its ability to threaten 305 00:17:21,280 --> 00:17:24,040 Speaker 5: its neighbors or hide behind a zone of immunity that 306 00:17:24,080 --> 00:17:29,000 Speaker 5: allows them to develop their nuclear ambitions. But this terroristic, radical, 307 00:17:29,720 --> 00:17:34,080 Speaker 5: cleric led regime cannot be ever allowed to have nuclear weapons. 308 00:17:34,920 --> 00:17:39,200 Speaker 1: We just blew up the Iranian flagship Clay with a torpedo, 309 00:17:39,920 --> 00:17:43,119 Speaker 1: the first time the US has taken down a ship 310 00:17:43,160 --> 00:17:46,120 Speaker 1: with a torpedo since World War Two.

Let me 342 00:19:18,520 --> 00:19:21,360 Speaker 1: circle back around on this angle and see if you'll 343 00:19:21,359 --> 00:19:22,479 Speaker 1: buy into this argument. 344 00:19:22,520 --> 00:19:22,800 Speaker 2: Buck. 345 00:19:24,760 --> 00:19:27,840 Speaker 1: The reason why I think Iran with nuclear weapons is 346 00:19:27,880 --> 00:19:33,280 Speaker 1: more dangerous than North Korea with nuclear weapons. Both are dangerous. 347 00:19:33,280 --> 00:19:35,600 Speaker 1: But the reason why I think the North Korean argument 348 00:19:35,680 --> 00:19:38,800 Speaker 1: is a good one is my concern is if the 349 00:19:38,840 --> 00:19:43,520 Speaker 1: iotola dies and Iran has nuclear weapons, the reason why 350 00:19:43,560 --> 00:19:48,000 Speaker 1: the Iyotola is in power is there are enough fundamentalists 351 00:19:48,040 --> 00:19:53,240 Speaker 1: in Iran that the power of the Ayatola is not 352 00:19:53,440 --> 00:19:57,080 Speaker 1: coming from top down, it's from bottom up. In other words, 353 00:19:57,119 --> 00:20:00,560 Speaker 1: there are lots of fundamentalists who believe that they need 354 00:20:00,600 --> 00:20:03,760 Speaker 1: to kill people in order to spread their faith, and 355 00:20:03,800 --> 00:20:07,840 Speaker 1: the leader then is a reflection of what many actually 356 00:20:07,880 --> 00:20:11,520 Speaker 1: believe in the country, which means the length of time 357 00:20:11,560 --> 00:20:14,600 Speaker 1: that they can have nuclear weapons is in danger for 358 00:20:14,840 --> 00:20:19,200 Speaker 1: many different leaders. I think most people are lying when 359 00:20:19,280 --> 00:20:22,080 Speaker 1: they say, oh, we love Kim Jong un. They fear 360 00:20:22,160 --> 00:20:25,919 Speaker 1: him because he's very powerful, but there isn't actually a 361 00:20:26,119 --> 00:20:31,080 Speaker 1: fundamentalist belief system. Of the same way, when people leave 362 00:20:31,160 --> 00:20:35,560 Speaker 1: North Korea, they tend to embrace Western values and suddenly 363 00:20:35,600 --> 00:20:38,359 Speaker 1: realize the rest of the world is great. There are 364 00:20:38,400 --> 00:20:42,400 Speaker 1: people who leave Middle Eastern countries and decide that they're 365 00:20:42,440 --> 00:20:45,159 Speaker 1: going to act out based on their religion. 366 00:20:45,200 --> 00:20:47,120 Speaker 2: Does that make sense? I think the religion of Kim. 367 00:20:47,000 --> 00:20:50,439 Speaker 1: Jong un or whatever it is in North Korea is 368 00:20:50,520 --> 00:20:53,440 Speaker 1: not actually real. People are just terrified if they don't 369 00:20:53,440 --> 00:20:56,000 Speaker 1: put his photo up that they're going to be killed 370 00:20:56,000 --> 00:20:58,880 Speaker 1: because he is a very supremely powerful person. But if 371 00:20:58,920 --> 00:21:02,199 Speaker 1: you were gone, there actually could be some sanity in 372 00:21:02,200 --> 00:21:05,160 Speaker 1: that country. My concern, and we'll see what happens now, 373 00:21:05,320 --> 00:21:07,240 Speaker 1: is now that we've cut off the head of the 374 00:21:07,240 --> 00:21:10,719 Speaker 1: snake of the Ayatola, it is possible that we end 375 00:21:10,840 --> 00:21:13,679 Speaker 1: up with a religious fundamentalist leader in Iran who is 376 00:21:13,720 --> 00:21:17,280 Speaker 1: even worse and more dangerous going forward than what we 377 00:21:17,359 --> 00:21:18,119 Speaker 1: have right now. 378 00:21:18,400 --> 00:21:19,440 Speaker 2: So both are bad. 379 00:21:19,520 --> 00:21:22,320 Speaker 1: But I actually think Iran with nuclear weapons is more 380 00:21:22,400 --> 00:21:27,040 Speaker 1: dangerous than North Korea with nuclear weapons. I mean it's 381 00:21:27,320 --> 00:21:28,920 Speaker 1: I think it's a little bit of an Apples to 382 00:21:28,960 --> 00:21:30,120 Speaker 1: Orange comparison. 383 00:21:30,320 --> 00:21:32,720 Speaker 2: But I don't know how much worse North Korea could 384 00:21:32,760 --> 00:21:34,760 Speaker 2: be than it than it it is. 385 00:21:35,960 --> 00:21:37,800 Speaker 1: I just think if there are a lot of white 386 00:21:37,840 --> 00:21:41,320 Speaker 1: Allians who actually buy into the cult of personality there 387 00:21:41,600 --> 00:21:43,439 Speaker 1: that they don't clear they don't have external internet, they 388 00:21:43,480 --> 00:21:46,240 Speaker 1: don't have books, they don't have TV, the entire country. 389 00:21:46,359 --> 00:21:46,800 Speaker 2: I mean, I. 390 00:21:46,760 --> 00:21:50,040 Speaker 1: Actually write about this in Manufacturing Delusion, which is a 391 00:21:50,040 --> 00:21:53,640 Speaker 1: fantastic book you can go check out. The entire country 392 00:21:53,680 --> 00:21:56,720 Speaker 1: is essentially in a mass mind control experiment. Well, they 393 00:21:56,800 --> 00:21:59,360 Speaker 1: will kill you if you bring in DVDs from other 394 00:21:59,400 --> 00:22:01,520 Speaker 1: countries and just try to watch them in your home. 395 00:22:01,720 --> 00:22:02,880 Speaker 2: I mean, they have. 396 00:22:02,920 --> 00:22:06,840 Speaker 1: Millions of people who are part of the security apparatus 397 00:22:06,920 --> 00:22:11,880 Speaker 1: in North Korea who their privileged position, their their family's 398 00:22:11,920 --> 00:22:14,200 Speaker 1: privileged position. The fact that they have food to eat 399 00:22:14,240 --> 00:22:17,679 Speaker 1: and roof over their heads is entirely in their minds 400 00:22:17,720 --> 00:22:23,600 Speaker 1: tied to Kim Jong un and his benevolence. So it's 401 00:22:23,640 --> 00:22:26,360 Speaker 1: not as simple as like if he were gone. Everything 402 00:22:26,800 --> 00:22:31,800 Speaker 1: I mean, the country is. It is a bizarre place 403 00:22:32,320 --> 00:22:35,320 Speaker 1: in so many ways. It's not like it's gonna be 404 00:22:35,320 --> 00:22:38,119 Speaker 1: a flowering of Jeffersonian democracy. 405 00:22:38,080 --> 00:22:39,959 Speaker 2: If you had no Kim Jong un. 406 00:22:40,560 --> 00:22:43,600 Speaker 1: Well, theory of another general take over on behalf of 407 00:22:43,640 --> 00:22:46,960 Speaker 1: the Kim family. It's technically a necrocracy, meaning that the 408 00:22:47,520 --> 00:22:52,280 Speaker 1: Kim Kim ill sung is still theoretically the head of 409 00:22:52,320 --> 00:22:55,120 Speaker 1: the Communist Party of North Korea, and he's been dead 410 00:22:55,160 --> 00:22:59,160 Speaker 1: for a long time. Well, and they have a dynasty 411 00:22:59,240 --> 00:23:04,280 Speaker 1: that is predicated on his supremacy that theoretically is now 412 00:23:04,280 --> 00:23:06,399 Speaker 1: going to run I think Kim Jong un has already 413 00:23:06,400 --> 00:23:08,360 Speaker 1: announced that his daughter is going to be the one 414 00:23:08,359 --> 00:23:10,639 Speaker 1: that takes over after he's dead, right, I mean he 415 00:23:11,040 --> 00:23:14,760 Speaker 1: is considered the eternal president, Kim il sung, that's what 416 00:23:14,760 --> 00:23:17,959 Speaker 1: they call him, the eternal president. So so to your 417 00:23:17,960 --> 00:23:21,439 Speaker 1: point about religion and everything else, play, the religion of 418 00:23:21,480 --> 00:23:25,520 Speaker 1: North Korea is the Kim dynasty, right, it is a 419 00:23:25,600 --> 00:23:28,000 Speaker 1: religion effectively. I mean, they have a dead guy who's 420 00:23:28,000 --> 00:23:31,560 Speaker 1: still technically the leader of the country forever because of 421 00:23:31,600 --> 00:23:33,760 Speaker 1: the way that they've set up all of the state propaganda. 422 00:23:33,960 --> 00:23:37,480 Speaker 1: And look, North Korea. Really, let's go access of evil here? 423 00:23:37,640 --> 00:23:38,800 Speaker 1: What was the access of evil? 424 00:23:39,160 --> 00:23:40,520 Speaker 2: Iraq? Iran? 425 00:23:41,000 --> 00:23:43,920 Speaker 1: North Korea? North Korea we can't get rid of because 426 00:23:43,960 --> 00:23:45,840 Speaker 1: of all of the nukes. And that's not just the nukes. 427 00:23:45,880 --> 00:23:50,000 Speaker 1: They've got enough conventional artillery that they could kill hundreds 428 00:23:50,000 --> 00:23:52,600 Speaker 1: of thousands of people, probably in Seoul, in the capital 429 00:23:52,640 --> 00:23:55,639 Speaker 1: of South Korea, in the first forty eight hours or 430 00:23:55,640 --> 00:23:57,720 Speaker 1: so of an engagement, right, I mean, it's an absolute 431 00:23:57,720 --> 00:24:01,639 Speaker 1: disaster waiting to happen. So Iran, we don't want to 432 00:24:01,640 --> 00:24:03,040 Speaker 1: get to that place. But I mean, you know, the 433 00:24:03,240 --> 00:24:05,760 Speaker 1: other side of it is people would say Iran would 434 00:24:05,760 --> 00:24:08,040 Speaker 1: have a little bit of a problem with Saudi Arabia, 435 00:24:08,080 --> 00:24:11,119 Speaker 1: all the Sudenty Arab states around it that are enemies 436 00:24:11,160 --> 00:24:13,600 Speaker 1: of it effectively. And then this little country called Israel 437 00:24:13,680 --> 00:24:15,560 Speaker 1: that is just really good at kicking their asses, that 438 00:24:15,640 --> 00:24:19,679 Speaker 1: also has nukes. So there is some box in reality 439 00:24:19,760 --> 00:24:22,480 Speaker 1: for Iran, I think as well. But will regime would 440 00:24:22,480 --> 00:24:25,520 Speaker 1: regime change ever happen if they had nukes? Probably not, 441 00:24:25,680 --> 00:24:28,639 Speaker 1: because you get into at what point does a country 442 00:24:28,680 --> 00:24:30,280 Speaker 1: with nukes have redlines? I mean, I think there are 443 00:24:30,280 --> 00:24:32,359 Speaker 1: things we could do to Russia where Russia would launch. 444 00:24:32,760 --> 00:24:34,520 Speaker 1: I'm not saying they would launch at all US cities, 445 00:24:34,520 --> 00:24:36,679 Speaker 1: but I think Russia says if we took out putin, 446 00:24:36,800 --> 00:24:39,560 Speaker 1: there is somebody who might push a button to I mean, 447 00:24:39,880 --> 00:24:42,080 Speaker 1: to send a nuclear weapon here. If we took out, 448 00:24:42,359 --> 00:24:44,920 Speaker 1: if we joined the Ukrainians and marched, and we had 449 00:24:44,920 --> 00:24:48,440 Speaker 1: you know, armored divisions rolling across Russian territory, would they 450 00:24:48,440 --> 00:24:50,600 Speaker 1: would they fire tactical nukes to take Yeah? 451 00:24:50,640 --> 00:24:51,520 Speaker 2: I think they would. Right. 452 00:24:51,680 --> 00:24:54,760 Speaker 1: My point is that nukes will be used at some point. 453 00:24:54,920 --> 00:24:57,400 Speaker 1: It's not just we use them. We're the only ones 454 00:24:57,400 --> 00:25:00,439 Speaker 1: who have nukes. Aren't just there for show? And with 455 00:25:00,520 --> 00:25:03,120 Speaker 1: North Korea. If they had nukes and they were under 456 00:25:03,119 --> 00:25:05,520 Speaker 1: this degree of pressure, I do think that they would 457 00:25:05,520 --> 00:25:06,600 Speaker 1: be willing to launch. 458 00:25:07,040 --> 00:25:08,800 Speaker 2: That's why we're doing it now so well. 459 00:25:08,840 --> 00:25:10,720 Speaker 1: And again I agree that stopping them from getting to 460 00:25:10,720 --> 00:25:11,880 Speaker 1: that point is very important. 461 00:25:12,080 --> 00:25:14,800 Speaker 2: But North Korea is a little crazier than you think 462 00:25:14,840 --> 00:25:15,440 Speaker 2: it is. 463 00:25:15,760 --> 00:25:20,120 Speaker 1: I'm going around one on biggest threat with nuclear weapons 464 00:25:20,160 --> 00:25:20,760 Speaker 1: North Korea. 465 00:25:20,800 --> 00:25:21,040 Speaker 2: Two. 466 00:25:21,080 --> 00:25:23,600 Speaker 1: Are you taking North Korea one? Iran two? On the 467 00:25:23,640 --> 00:25:29,720 Speaker 1: power rankings of crazy? I mean it's very it's very hard. 468 00:25:29,920 --> 00:25:34,440 Speaker 1: I mean this I can tell you is North Korea 469 00:25:34,600 --> 00:25:39,480 Speaker 1: is the average North Korean more disconnected from reality and 470 00:25:39,480 --> 00:25:44,240 Speaker 1: and and more delusional than the average Iranian. Yeah, by 471 00:25:44,240 --> 00:25:46,760 Speaker 1: a factor of like ten. It's not even close. Because 472 00:25:47,520 --> 00:25:51,520 Speaker 1: a sophisticated, educated people that's been around for you know, 473 00:25:51,600 --> 00:25:54,080 Speaker 1: Persians and Iran have been around for millennia. 474 00:25:54,680 --> 00:25:57,480 Speaker 2: North Korea is the kind of. 475 00:25:57,560 --> 00:26:02,520 Speaker 1: Mutant evil stepchild of the China Communist Party in China 476 00:26:02,640 --> 00:26:07,600 Speaker 1: next door, which is itself an outgrowth of Stalinist Soviet Communism. 477 00:26:08,000 --> 00:26:11,560 Speaker 2: So, you know, North Korea is really that's a really 478 00:26:11,600 --> 00:26:13,960 Speaker 2: messed up place, really messed up place. 479 00:26:14,040 --> 00:26:17,639 Speaker 1: I think if you had mass starvation in Iran, the 480 00:26:17,800 --> 00:26:19,720 Speaker 1: Mulas would have a big problem on their hands. 481 00:26:20,160 --> 00:26:20,959 Speaker 2: In North Korea. 482 00:26:21,119 --> 00:26:23,920 Speaker 1: They've had mass starvation and you say a word about 483 00:26:23,960 --> 00:26:27,320 Speaker 1: it and they'll just kill you faster it really is. 484 00:26:27,440 --> 00:26:31,280 Speaker 1: You know, they've opened up they've opened up resorts in 485 00:26:31,320 --> 00:26:31,879 Speaker 1: North Korea. 486 00:26:33,280 --> 00:26:33,480 Speaker 2: Saw. 487 00:26:34,400 --> 00:26:35,919 Speaker 1: I think we know who's gonna be one of the 488 00:26:35,920 --> 00:26:38,240 Speaker 1: first American commentators to go. 489 00:26:38,440 --> 00:26:40,240 Speaker 2: Clay's gonna be on the beach in North Korea. Like 490 00:26:40,280 --> 00:26:43,160 Speaker 2: this place isn't so bad. 491 00:26:43,320 --> 00:26:46,560 Speaker 1: I would go visit North Korea if if Dennis rod 492 00:26:46,640 --> 00:26:49,960 Speaker 1: miniral with me, I would go interview Kim Johnson? 493 00:26:50,000 --> 00:26:52,240 Speaker 2: Would you serious question? Would you actually? 494 00:26:52,240 --> 00:26:54,320 Speaker 1: I would not be willing to go because I think 495 00:26:54,359 --> 00:26:55,960 Speaker 1: North Korea cannot be trusted. 496 00:26:56,040 --> 00:26:58,120 Speaker 2: Even if they invite you, give you a visa and 497 00:26:58,560 --> 00:27:00,440 Speaker 2: you would you be willing to go? I wouldn't. I 498 00:27:00,440 --> 00:27:00,800 Speaker 2: would go. 499 00:27:01,240 --> 00:27:02,880 Speaker 1: I would go to if they told me that I 500 00:27:02,920 --> 00:27:05,120 Speaker 1: was going to be able to interview Kim Jong un 501 00:27:05,280 --> 00:27:08,680 Speaker 1: and all those things, I think I would go. I 502 00:27:08,720 --> 00:27:11,480 Speaker 1: don't know that Laura Travis would think. James Franco, don't 503 00:27:11,520 --> 00:27:13,639 Speaker 1: you Clay is just like I go in there. I 504 00:27:13,760 --> 00:27:17,320 Speaker 1: go in there to talk SEC football, but really I 505 00:27:17,359 --> 00:27:19,679 Speaker 1: get rid of the dictator of North Korea. Mean, I 506 00:27:19,720 --> 00:27:23,480 Speaker 1: know everybody stopped talking about it, but remember the relationship 507 00:27:23,520 --> 00:27:26,520 Speaker 1: between Trump and Kim Jong un used to be a 508 00:27:26,600 --> 00:27:29,919 Speaker 1: huge talking point, right, I mean, obviously Trump went to 509 00:27:30,040 --> 00:27:33,920 Speaker 1: the Demilitarized Zone and Term one and visited and said, 510 00:27:34,200 --> 00:27:37,639 Speaker 1: I think one reason that North Korea has these beaches 511 00:27:37,680 --> 00:27:41,560 Speaker 1: and resorts that they have built is partly because President Trump, 512 00:27:41,600 --> 00:27:45,360 Speaker 1: as Trump would do, just says, hey, you know what 513 00:27:45,480 --> 00:27:49,920 Speaker 1: we should actually have. We should actually have a resorts 514 00:27:49,920 --> 00:27:51,720 Speaker 1: and things like that in North Korea. I think Kim 515 00:27:51,800 --> 00:27:54,719 Speaker 1: Jong un is actually likes Trump and is impacted in 516 00:27:54,760 --> 00:27:57,920 Speaker 1: some way by that. But there was the first efforts 517 00:27:57,960 --> 00:28:02,240 Speaker 1: to get some resolution from the Trump administration on diplomacy 518 00:28:02,240 --> 00:28:06,000 Speaker 1: with North Korea was a bust. Unfortunately, didn't didn't actually 519 00:28:06,000 --> 00:28:08,600 Speaker 1: get anywhere. I think you're right, he probably views Trump 520 00:28:08,680 --> 00:28:12,960 Speaker 1: as an interesting character. That is everythan everyone who spends 521 00:28:12,960 --> 00:28:15,280 Speaker 1: time with Trump is like, I like that guy. But 522 00:28:15,880 --> 00:28:17,240 Speaker 1: they were not able to get any kind of an 523 00:28:17,240 --> 00:28:20,439 Speaker 1: agreement out of it. Back to Iran, though, we're sinking 524 00:28:20,480 --> 00:28:22,400 Speaker 1: all their boats, we're blowing up all their planes, We're 525 00:28:22,400 --> 00:28:24,280 Speaker 1: just throwing all the surface to air missiles, We're blowing 526 00:28:24,359 --> 00:28:28,280 Speaker 1: up their intelligence headquarters, we're blowing up their military barracks. 527 00:28:28,600 --> 00:28:31,680 Speaker 1: I mean the plan is, I think, essentially, as Rubio said, 528 00:28:31,760 --> 00:28:34,679 Speaker 1: or as I was talking about before, make it so 529 00:28:34,760 --> 00:28:37,840 Speaker 1: that it's a country without a military and then we 530 00:28:37,880 --> 00:28:39,840 Speaker 1: can have a conversation about what comes next. 531 00:28:40,440 --> 00:28:42,280 Speaker 2: That's really where we're taking this, and we have the 532 00:28:42,320 --> 00:28:43,280 Speaker 2: air power to do it. 533 00:28:43,840 --> 00:28:46,560 Speaker 1: And again, I think we're basically at a point now 534 00:28:46,600 --> 00:28:49,760 Speaker 1: where we are saying to Iran, let us know when 535 00:28:49,800 --> 00:28:52,200 Speaker 1: you're willing to negotiate who your next leader is going 536 00:28:52,280 --> 00:28:54,400 Speaker 1: to be. And I don't know if you saw the data, 537 00:28:55,000 --> 00:28:58,800 Speaker 1: the pulling on this is basically as long as we 538 00:28:58,880 --> 00:29:01,959 Speaker 1: drop bombs and don't have boots on the ground and 539 00:29:02,000 --> 00:29:02,840 Speaker 1: this is not some. 540 00:29:02,960 --> 00:29:03,880 Speaker 2: Multi year war. 541 00:29:04,600 --> 00:29:07,680 Speaker 1: The overwhelming majority I think it was seventy four percent 542 00:29:07,920 --> 00:29:12,320 Speaker 1: I saw support the decision in Iran so long as 543 00:29:12,360 --> 00:29:15,560 Speaker 1: it doesn't lead to boots on the ground and it 544 00:29:15,600 --> 00:29:19,280 Speaker 1: is resolved within a month or two. And I think 545 00:29:19,400 --> 00:29:23,480 Speaker 1: that's the design right now of the of the president. 546 00:29:23,520 --> 00:29:26,000 Speaker 1: I think the question is who is the Delsea Rodriguez 547 00:29:26,040 --> 00:29:29,160 Speaker 1: of Iran. Who is somebody that we feel like is 548 00:29:29,200 --> 00:29:33,920 Speaker 1: a leader that will in many ways execute pro america 549 00:29:34,200 --> 00:29:37,680 Speaker 1: Ish policies that are not going to create a huge 550 00:29:37,720 --> 00:29:40,840 Speaker 1: issue going forward it and does that person exist? But again, 551 00:29:40,880 --> 00:29:49,880 Speaker 1: the opposition in Venezuela existed, Ran was organized one votes, Yeah, 552 00:29:49,920 --> 00:29:54,640 Speaker 1: nothing like that. In Iran, we're starting for starting zero. 553 00:29:54,920 --> 00:29:57,520 Speaker 1: We're starting from zero with political opposition in Iran because 554 00:29:57,520 --> 00:29:59,800 Speaker 1: it hasn't been allowed to exist. Now, the one thing 555 00:29:59,840 --> 00:30:02,360 Speaker 1: I've would say that Overlaps is they put it Delsea 556 00:30:02,480 --> 00:30:06,320 Speaker 1: Rodriguez in because I believe her brother runs the military. 557 00:30:06,360 --> 00:30:09,160 Speaker 1: What is the military in Iran going to do? To 558 00:30:09,200 --> 00:30:12,840 Speaker 1: what extent is the IRGC actually long term committed to 559 00:30:13,280 --> 00:30:16,760 Speaker 1: the iatola's leadership. Is there someone that could have a 560 00:30:16,880 --> 00:30:20,640 Speaker 1: role in the Iranian military that's trusted there, that would 561 00:30:20,640 --> 00:30:25,760 Speaker 1: not be trying to constantly provoke Middle Eastern responses? All 562 00:30:25,760 --> 00:30:32,160 Speaker 1: those things I think are certainly paramount of decision making 563 00:30:32,160 --> 00:30:34,880 Speaker 1: at this point in time. If you're looking for some 564 00:30:34,920 --> 00:30:38,680 Speaker 1: household savings, consider switching your cell phone service to Pure Talk, 565 00:30:38,720 --> 00:30:41,400 Speaker 1: which is my cellular company.

You talk about Korea in 585 00:31:42,160 --> 00:31:44,960 Speaker 2: the nineteen nineties, how about China? You think they would 586 00:31:45,000 --> 00:31:48,520 Speaker 2: have let us do what you're suggesting. I think you're 587 00:31:48,640 --> 00:31:49,640 Speaker 2: sadly mistaken. 588 00:31:51,200 --> 00:31:56,280 Speaker 1: Yeah, China uses North Korea as a gives them a 589 00:31:56,360 --> 00:32:00,520 Speaker 1: strategic depth, if you will, where they can keep. 590 00:32:00,400 --> 00:32:03,480 Speaker 2: The inn they they Without China, North Korea falls apart. 591 00:32:03,480 --> 00:32:05,720 Speaker 1: By the way North Korea could cut off China and 592 00:32:05,760 --> 00:32:08,280 Speaker 1: the country would starve and wouldn't have any gasoline and 593 00:32:08,400 --> 00:32:11,600 Speaker 1: or wouldn't have any ability to function. So North Korea 594 00:32:11,640 --> 00:32:17,600 Speaker 1: is an entirely a vassal state of China. China keeps 595 00:32:17,600 --> 00:32:20,800 Speaker 1: it going for its own purposes, and it's viewed as 596 00:32:20,920 --> 00:32:26,000 Speaker 1: a tool against us sometimes, Clay, it's you know, you better, 597 00:32:26,200 --> 00:32:29,040 Speaker 1: you better play nice with us here in Beijing. You 598 00:32:29,040 --> 00:32:31,640 Speaker 1: don't want things to get wild up in pyeong Yang, guys. 599 00:32:31,640 --> 00:32:34,320 Speaker 1: I mean the Chinese, you know, have played both sides 600 00:32:34,320 --> 00:32:36,120 Speaker 1: of this, and they also don't want to collapse in 601 00:32:36,160 --> 00:32:38,200 Speaker 1: North Korea because they have the most massive met or 602 00:32:38,360 --> 00:32:42,440 Speaker 1: refugee crisis imaginable of just millions of North Koreans flooding 603 00:32:42,440 --> 00:32:45,920 Speaker 1: into China. So they're they're, they're they're very involved in 604 00:32:45,920 --> 00:32:47,800 Speaker 1: that whole situation North Korea. 605 00:32:47,920 --> 00:32:48,840 Speaker 2: I think I'm correct. 606 00:32:48,920 --> 00:32:53,680 Speaker 1: Buck doesn't have a airplane that they feel confident enough 607 00:32:53,840 --> 00:32:56,880 Speaker 1: in to travel with Kim Jong un, so they he 608 00:32:57,000 --> 00:32:59,520 Speaker 1: travels to China when he visits by train. 609 00:32:59,680 --> 00:33:01,320 Speaker 2: Train like, yeah, well. 610 00:33:01,160 --> 00:33:03,680 Speaker 1: That's also I think a security probably a security procedure 611 00:33:03,680 --> 00:33:07,200 Speaker 1: where they feel like the train is uh, yeah, safer. 612 00:33:07,360 --> 00:33:11,120 Speaker 1: They can they can make sure that he's all all 613 00:33:11,120 --> 00:33:13,920 Speaker 1: buttoned up and safe in there. But yeah, North Korea's 614 00:33:13,960 --> 00:33:16,600 Speaker 1: got all kinds of weird problems. Matt and Bethlehem, Pennsylvania. 615 00:33:16,640 --> 00:33:20,680 Speaker 1: Go ahead, Matt, I believe. 616 00:33:20,400 --> 00:33:24,239 Speaker 7: North Korea has some nuclear ability and does not use it. 617 00:33:24,320 --> 00:33:26,360 Speaker 1: If Iran would have seen a nuclear missile, do you 618 00:33:26,400 --> 00:33:28,440 Speaker 1: think that they would last more than a second before 619 00:33:28,440 --> 00:33:33,480 Speaker 1: shooting it at Israel? Yes, I look, I think I 620 00:33:33,920 --> 00:33:35,880 Speaker 1: mean this is this is a huge question, by the way, 621 00:33:35,920 --> 00:33:37,080 Speaker 1: but the answer is yes. 622 00:33:37,240 --> 00:33:37,880 Speaker 2: I don't think that. 623 00:33:38,280 --> 00:33:40,400 Speaker 1: I don't think that the entire leadership of North Korea 624 00:33:40,440 --> 00:33:44,040 Speaker 1: would instantaneously decide that they want to vaporize ninety million. 625 00:33:44,080 --> 00:33:47,960 Speaker 1: I'm sorry, the entire leadership rather of Iran would say yes, 626 00:33:48,360 --> 00:33:51,040 Speaker 1: I want Israel to vaporize like tens of. 627 00:33:51,000 --> 00:33:52,120 Speaker 2: Millions of Iranians. 628 00:33:52,680 --> 00:33:55,080 Speaker 1: Maybe it's a huge gamble, well we don't want to take, 629 00:33:55,560 --> 00:33:58,040 Speaker 1: but that is what would happen if they fired that 630 00:33:58,120 --> 00:34:00,480 Speaker 1: first nuke. And by the way, their first nuke might 631 00:34:00,560 --> 00:34:03,520 Speaker 1: not hit Tel Aviv, their first nuke might not even 632 00:34:03,560 --> 00:34:03,960 Speaker 1: get there. 633 00:34:04,000 --> 00:34:05,560 Speaker 2: So think about the risk that they're taking. 634 00:34:05,880 --> 00:34:08,520 Speaker 1: I think it's yes, they want death to Israel, death 635 00:34:08,560 --> 00:34:13,399 Speaker 1: to America. But I think from a logical perspective, they 636 00:34:13,440 --> 00:34:16,520 Speaker 1: want the nuke because it protects their power forever. Yes, 637 00:34:16,560 --> 00:34:18,759 Speaker 1: which is why Kim Jong un has a nuke. Now, 638 00:34:18,880 --> 00:34:21,719 Speaker 1: my argument is I'm more concerned by North Korea by 639 00:34:22,080 --> 00:34:27,600 Speaker 1: Iran because of the religious fundamentalum fundamentalism of Islam that 640 00:34:27,640 --> 00:34:31,000 Speaker 1: would be behind it. But both are bad, and I 641 00:34:31,000 --> 00:34:33,239 Speaker 1: think the strong argument is if we could wipe it 642 00:34:33,239 --> 00:34:35,439 Speaker 1: out once and for all, if we could go back 643 00:34:35,480 --> 00:34:39,080 Speaker 1: in time, America and the world would be much safer 644 00:34:39,080 --> 00:34:41,399 Speaker 1: if North Korea had never been allowed to get jiliar Web. 645 00:34:41,440 --> 00:34:42,720 Speaker 2: I would present this to you everyone. 646 00:34:42,800 --> 00:34:46,240 Speaker 1: The Jihatis as bad as they are, having killed a 647 00:34:46,400 --> 00:34:50,040 Speaker 1: fraction of the people that the communists have in the 648 00:34:50,080 --> 00:34:54,520 Speaker 1: last hundred years, not even close. You're talking about one 649 00:34:54,600 --> 00:34:57,760 Speaker 1: hundred million dead versus maybe you know, a few million 650 00:34:57,880 --> 00:35:01,239 Speaker 1: dead at the hands of the jihadis over. So you know, 651 00:35:01,320 --> 00:35:05,240 Speaker 1: let's not under Let's not underestimate crazy. Let's not underestimate crazy. 652 00:35:05,640 --> 00:35:08,320 Speaker 1: Chuck and West Palm also wants to say Iran is 653 00:35:08,360 --> 00:35:08,960 Speaker 1: more dangerous. 654 00:35:09,000 --> 00:35:12,800 Speaker 6: Let's there you go, I do Iran is more dangerous 655 00:35:12,840 --> 00:35:15,839 Speaker 6: because of the rigially religious fundamentalism they want to bring 656 00:35:15,880 --> 00:35:19,560 Speaker 6: forth to twelfty millions plus they sit on oceans of oil. 657 00:35:20,000 --> 00:35:23,520 Speaker 6: North Korea, as your previous caller says, it's controlled by 658 00:35:23,600 --> 00:35:26,319 Speaker 6: China only point I wanted to make guys, thank you. 659 00:35:27,920 --> 00:35:32,080 Speaker 1: Darryl in Savannah, Georgia, Daryl what you got for us. 660 00:35:32,680 --> 00:35:34,480 Speaker 7: I just want to say I spent a lot of 661 00:35:34,480 --> 00:35:37,640 Speaker 7: time in koreab honors in the military, and I can 662 00:35:37,719 --> 00:35:41,360 Speaker 7: tell you that the North Korean people worshiped the kings, 663 00:35:41,360 --> 00:35:45,080 Speaker 7: ounding like they are God. There's a really good illustration. 664 00:35:45,320 --> 00:35:48,680 Speaker 7: Then they had a they had some blind North Koreans 665 00:35:48,920 --> 00:35:51,400 Speaker 7: and they as they finally he's got some Swiss scientists 666 00:35:51,440 --> 00:35:54,960 Speaker 7: and Swiss doctors there to operate on him.
