1
00:00:02,440 --> 00:00:07,600
Speaker 1: This is the primal scream of a dying regime. Pray

2
00:00:07,680 --> 00:00:11,039
Speaker 1: for our enemies because we're going to medieval.

3
00:00:10,520 --> 00:00:11,120
Speaker 2: On these people.

4
00:00:12,320 --> 00:00:14,960
Speaker 1: He's not got a free shot. All these networks lying

5
00:00:15,720 --> 00:00:17,960
Speaker 1: about the people, the people have had a belly full

6
00:00:17,960 --> 00:00:20,079
Speaker 1: of it. I know you don't like hearing that. I

7
00:00:20,120 --> 00:00:21,360
Speaker 1: know you tried to do everything in the world to

8
00:00:21,360 --> 00:00:22,919
Speaker 1: stop that, but you're not going to stop it. It's

9
00:00:22,960 --> 00:00:25,279
Speaker 1: going to happen. And where do people like that go

10
00:00:25,440 --> 00:00:26,880
Speaker 1: to share the big line?

11
00:00:27,400 --> 00:00:28,640
Speaker 2: Mega media?

12
00:00:28,800 --> 00:00:31,880
Speaker 1: I wish in my soul, I wish that any of

13
00:00:31,920 --> 00:00:35,680
Speaker 1: these people had a conscience. Ask yourself, what is my

14
00:00:35,880 --> 00:00:39,440
Speaker 1: task and what is my purpose? If that answer is

15
00:00:39,479 --> 00:00:44,440
Speaker 1: to save my country, this country will be saved war.

16
00:00:45,159 --> 00:00:46,960
Speaker 2: Here's your host, Stephen k.

17
00:00:47,200 --> 00:00:47,400
Speaker 3: Bath.

18
00:00:52,840 --> 00:00:55,600
Speaker 4: Every country in the Middle East except maybe the UAE

19
00:00:56,040 --> 00:00:59,040
Speaker 4: is desperate to avoid this war. The Chinese and the

20
00:00:59,120 --> 00:01:02,960
Speaker 4: Russians don't want this war. Trump really doesn't want this war.

21
00:01:03,120 --> 00:01:05,480
Speaker 4: Who wants this war? Benjamin Netanyahu?

22
00:01:06,800 --> 00:01:07,160
Speaker 5: Wow?

23
00:01:08,120 --> 00:01:10,200
Speaker 2: Will he get the war that he wants?

24
00:01:10,560 --> 00:01:10,840
Speaker 1: Boy?

25
00:01:11,000 --> 00:01:13,240
Speaker 4: It's very hard to say. I go back and forth

26
00:01:13,280 --> 00:01:17,679
Speaker 4: on this one. On one hand, I say this war

27
00:01:17,800 --> 00:01:24,600
Speaker 4: can happen because we can't achieve our goals by striking Iran,

28
00:01:25,040 --> 00:01:27,920
Speaker 4: and furthermore, you have to take into account what Iran

29
00:01:28,120 --> 00:01:31,120
Speaker 4: can do in retaliation. You were just talking about the

30
00:01:31,160 --> 00:01:34,920
Speaker 4: straits of war moves and what the consequences would be

31
00:01:35,120 --> 00:01:38,399
Speaker 4: if that one heated up, And of course the Iranians

32
00:01:38,440 --> 00:01:42,039
Speaker 4: are going to launch ballistic missiles at Israel as well.

33
00:01:42,480 --> 00:01:45,640
Speaker 4: So it's hard to see why it makes sense to

34
00:01:45,720 --> 00:01:48,880
Speaker 4: start this war from a purely strategic point of view.

35
00:01:48,960 --> 00:01:53,360
Speaker 4: But then it looks like Trump has boxed himself in.

36
00:01:53,760 --> 00:01:57,360
Speaker 4: And furthermore, the Israelies appear to be putting enormous pressure

37
00:01:57,400 --> 00:02:01,680
Speaker 4: on him to go to war against Iran, and you know,

38
00:02:02,120 --> 00:02:05,760
Speaker 4: can he disobey his masters? I don't think so. So

39
00:02:06,160 --> 00:02:09,400
Speaker 4: that pushes me in the other direction. So I feel

40
00:02:09,400 --> 00:02:13,400
Speaker 4: one day war is inevitable because of pressure from the Israelis,

41
00:02:13,440 --> 00:02:15,519
Speaker 4: and the next day I think it's not going to

42
00:02:15,600 --> 00:02:18,560
Speaker 4: happen because I can't tell the story as to how

43
00:02:18,600 --> 00:02:21,160
Speaker 4: a war leads to some sort of happy ending for

44
00:02:21,200 --> 00:02:21,799
Speaker 4: all the party.

45
00:02:22,639 --> 00:02:25,480
Speaker 1: Okay, that's Professor Mersheimer. Obviously the guy's been dead right

46
00:02:25,520 --> 00:02:28,800
Speaker 1: on Ukraine the entire time. Matt Boyle now joins us

47
00:02:28,800 --> 00:02:33,160
Speaker 1: from Greece, another tinderbox of this part of the broader

48
00:02:33,800 --> 00:02:37,440
Speaker 1: region Matt overnight, Axios came out with a and we

49
00:02:37,919 --> 00:02:40,639
Speaker 1: had Captain fanel On here yesterday go through a detailed

50
00:02:41,240 --> 00:02:44,040
Speaker 1: presentation kind of an NSC type briefing all the assets

51
00:02:44,080 --> 00:02:47,800
Speaker 1: pouring into the region. Axios this morning reports that this

52
00:02:47,960 --> 00:02:51,720
Speaker 1: is much farther advanced strategically and the planning in the

53
00:02:51,720 --> 00:02:55,440
Speaker 1: White House than people understand. You're in the region right now,

54
00:02:55,560 --> 00:02:58,960
Speaker 1: your situation, the event you had with Kimberly Guildfort was great, yes,

55
00:02:59,040 --> 00:03:01,799
Speaker 1: say she's our great and bad. I don't know what's

56
00:03:01,800 --> 00:03:06,080
Speaker 1: more beautiful, Matt, is that you're smiling visage of Matt Boyle,

57
00:03:06,200 --> 00:03:09,960
Speaker 1: the national editor Breitbart, or the Acropolis at sundown in

58
00:03:10,000 --> 00:03:12,799
Speaker 1: the background, Sir, Yeah, well.

59
00:03:12,720 --> 00:03:14,919
Speaker 3: I mean the Greeks are totally hooking it up here.

60
00:03:14,960 --> 00:03:18,120
Speaker 6: For me, We've got the Acropolis back back behind me,

61
00:03:18,560 --> 00:03:23,720
Speaker 6: which is pretty impressive to see the the It's been

62
00:03:23,800 --> 00:03:27,280
Speaker 6: quite a it's my second trip here, really exciting.

63
00:03:27,480 --> 00:03:28,840
Speaker 3: It's your point about.

64
00:03:28,960 --> 00:03:30,800
Speaker 6: You know what may or may not be booming with

65
00:03:30,919 --> 00:03:34,640
Speaker 6: regard to Iran and the President's eventual decision making there.

66
00:03:34,680 --> 00:03:38,000
Speaker 6: Everyone here is talking about that right like, so, I've

67
00:03:38,000 --> 00:03:42,080
Speaker 6: been having a series of discussions with folks in the

68
00:03:42,200 --> 00:03:49,240
Speaker 6: media in Athens, as well as political defense business leaders

69
00:03:49,640 --> 00:03:53,920
Speaker 6: both inside and outside government, since I've arrived a little

70
00:03:53,960 --> 00:03:59,640
Speaker 6: over a day ago, and everybody expects something to happen

71
00:03:59,760 --> 00:04:04,160
Speaker 6: from President Trump. Exactly what nobody really seems to know yet,

72
00:04:04,440 --> 00:04:07,760
Speaker 6: and I don't think anybody knows except President Trump. Ultimately,

73
00:04:07,800 --> 00:04:10,840
Speaker 6: the President will make a decision. I think that there

74
00:04:10,880 --> 00:04:14,480
Speaker 6: are several things that the President is keeping in mind

75
00:04:14,680 --> 00:04:17,880
Speaker 6: as he makes any kind of a decision with regard

76
00:04:17,920 --> 00:04:20,440
Speaker 6: to Iran. And the first and most important thing, if

77
00:04:20,440 --> 00:04:22,960
Speaker 6: you remember see last time we talked, is the polling

78
00:04:23,000 --> 00:04:26,159
Speaker 6: data that shows that support for taking out the regime

79
00:04:26,200 --> 00:04:30,320
Speaker 6: in Iran significantly drops when you start talking about even

80
00:04:30,400 --> 00:04:33,599
Speaker 6: one American casualty. So I think the president, you know,

81
00:04:33,600 --> 00:04:37,240
Speaker 6: if you look at the two major military successes so far,

82
00:04:37,640 --> 00:04:39,280
Speaker 6: and I'm talking about major ones. There have been a

83
00:04:39,279 --> 00:04:41,400
Speaker 6: lot of minor ones as well, like taking out the

84
00:04:41,480 --> 00:04:43,839
Speaker 6: terrorists and stuff. But I'm talking about the major ones,

85
00:04:44,440 --> 00:04:47,240
Speaker 6: the striking Iran, taking out the nuclear program last year

86
00:04:47,760 --> 00:04:49,520
Speaker 6: and at the beginning of this year, to you know,

87
00:04:49,560 --> 00:04:51,599
Speaker 6: the capture of Nicholas Maduro in Venezuela.

88
00:04:52,200 --> 00:04:55,400
Speaker 3: What is the constant in both of those cases.

89
00:04:55,560 --> 00:04:59,800
Speaker 6: Very short operation no American lives at risks, clearly defined

90
00:05:00,360 --> 00:05:04,640
Speaker 6: policy outcome and goal that was in the American interest

91
00:05:04,839 --> 00:05:08,839
Speaker 6: and achieved, you know, quickly and without paying for America.

92
00:05:09,279 --> 00:05:11,359
Speaker 6: Right Like, so I think that those are the things

93
00:05:11,360 --> 00:05:18,159
Speaker 6: that the President is considering as he.

94
00:05:15,800 --> 00:05:18,839
Speaker 1: But hangover for a second. The Axios piece was very detailed,

95
00:05:18,839 --> 00:05:21,479
Speaker 1: and this came from administration people, and they talked specifically

96
00:05:21,480 --> 00:05:24,479
Speaker 1: about the difficulty of the target sets different than the

97
00:05:24,520 --> 00:05:27,240
Speaker 1: Twelve Day War. Different because this is just not going

98
00:05:27,279 --> 00:05:30,800
Speaker 1: after nukes and not ballistic missiles. They're talking about a

99
00:05:30,880 --> 00:05:35,680
Speaker 1: several week bombing campaign that's pretty detailed and pretty well planned.

100
00:05:35,720 --> 00:05:38,960
Speaker 1: At the same time, President Trump's in the negotiation and

101
00:05:39,000 --> 00:05:43,280
Speaker 1: he wants to see results, and he's a master negotiator.

102
00:05:43,520 --> 00:05:46,000
Speaker 1: He's brought in all the possible leverage he could have

103
00:05:46,120 --> 00:05:48,560
Speaker 1: with this military because they're flooding. You know, you're gonna

104
00:05:48,560 --> 00:05:51,480
Speaker 1: have two carrier battle groups there. Captain Fanel talked about

105
00:05:51,480 --> 00:05:54,680
Speaker 1: the possibility of maybe a third carrier battlegroup of the

106
00:05:54,720 --> 00:05:58,880
Speaker 1: Bush that would be available. So when Mersheimer says that

107
00:05:58,960 --> 00:06:02,760
Speaker 1: President Trump's, do you buy that or you think this

108
00:06:02,839 --> 00:06:05,839
Speaker 1: is a master negotiation strategy to try to get what

109
00:06:05,880 --> 00:06:08,400
Speaker 1: he wants to achieve and maybe cut force him to

110
00:06:08,400 --> 00:06:10,200
Speaker 1: cut off the oil to the Chinese Compani's party to

111
00:06:10,200 --> 00:06:11,680
Speaker 1: bring down the regime economically.

112
00:06:13,279 --> 00:06:15,559
Speaker 6: Well, I mean, first off, I don't think President Trump

113
00:06:15,560 --> 00:06:18,120
Speaker 6: has ever boxed in when it comes to negotiations, and

114
00:06:18,160 --> 00:06:21,000
Speaker 6: he's more powerful than he's ever been in his entire

115
00:06:21,040 --> 00:06:24,039
Speaker 6: political career here in his second term, especially as he

116
00:06:24,160 --> 00:06:26,640
Speaker 6: enters his second year ahead of the State of Union

117
00:06:26,680 --> 00:06:30,559
Speaker 6: address a week from today, right like. So, the fact

118
00:06:30,640 --> 00:06:34,520
Speaker 6: is is that I think you were going to see.

119
00:06:33,320 --> 00:06:37,080
Speaker 6: I don't know exactly what's going to happen, right, So,

120
00:06:37,080 --> 00:06:38,920
Speaker 6: I don't want to predict the future. But what I

121
00:06:38,960 --> 00:06:42,360
Speaker 6: will say is is that the president always has leveraged

122
00:06:42,400 --> 00:06:46,760
Speaker 6: and this president in particular is a master negotiator, right Like.

123
00:06:46,800 --> 00:06:49,280
Speaker 6: I mean, we've seen it with trade deals, with peace deals,

124
00:06:49,520 --> 00:06:52,200
Speaker 6: with economic deals. You know, one of the things I

125
00:06:52,240 --> 00:06:55,320
Speaker 6: talked with Ambassador Guilfoyle about here in Athens last night

126
00:06:55,839 --> 00:06:59,080
Speaker 6: is in her first hundred days as US ambassador to Greece, right,

127
00:06:59,400 --> 00:07:02,680
Speaker 6: she was delayed to getting here because you know, one

128
00:07:02,680 --> 00:07:06,560
Speaker 6: of the beauties of democracy, and we've got the birthplace.

129
00:07:06,000 --> 00:07:07,320
Speaker 3: Of it here right behind me.

130
00:07:07,800 --> 00:07:09,760
Speaker 6: One of the beauties of democracy is is that our

131
00:07:09,840 --> 00:07:13,200
Speaker 6: United States Senate has all sorts of finicky procedures. But anyway,

132
00:07:13,320 --> 00:07:15,440
Speaker 6: she's been here a little more than one hundred days now.

133
00:07:15,680 --> 00:07:18,000
Speaker 6: Finally got through the delays in the United States Senate

134
00:07:18,000 --> 00:07:19,040
Speaker 6: and they got her confirmed.

135
00:07:19,760 --> 00:07:22,360
Speaker 3: What has she done? Major energy deals?

136
00:07:22,440 --> 00:07:22,600
Speaker 7: Right?

137
00:07:22,600 --> 00:07:24,560
Speaker 6: Like, so they just signed a huge deal with Chevron

138
00:07:24,880 --> 00:07:29,520
Speaker 6: to do offshore drilling an exploration for LNG off the

139
00:07:29,560 --> 00:07:30,360
Speaker 6: coast of Greece.

140
00:07:30,640 --> 00:07:32,440
Speaker 3: Right, I mean, who would have thought that's possible?

141
00:07:32,520 --> 00:07:32,680
Speaker 7: Right?

142
00:07:32,720 --> 00:07:37,440
Speaker 6: The Europeans, you know, are are basically doing drill, baby drill.

143
00:07:37,840 --> 00:07:40,400
Speaker 6: That's the thing I keep hearing from everybody, Right, everybody

144
00:07:40,400 --> 00:07:43,200
Speaker 6: here is walking around talking about drill, baby drill. Who

145
00:07:43,200 --> 00:07:45,960
Speaker 6: would have thought that in Greece or anywhere in Europe,

146
00:07:46,440 --> 00:07:49,200
Speaker 6: you know, a few years ago. But what you're seeing

147
00:07:49,320 --> 00:07:51,200
Speaker 6: is is that the you know, these folks are setting

148
00:07:51,240 --> 00:07:53,520
Speaker 6: with President Trump. But again, so what I'm saying is

149
00:07:53,520 --> 00:07:56,960
Speaker 6: is that everything's in negotiation with President Trump. Everything's about

150
00:07:57,040 --> 00:08:02,200
Speaker 6: creating more leverage, everything's about interconnected with everything else. And

151
00:08:02,280 --> 00:08:04,280
Speaker 6: so to your point about you know, cutting off the

152
00:08:04,360 --> 00:08:06,840
Speaker 6: Chinese Comingist Party, it's worth noting the President has a

153
00:08:06,880 --> 00:08:11,280
Speaker 6: planned trip there coming up in April right, like so,

154
00:08:11,680 --> 00:08:17,520
Speaker 6: and the the ultimate negotiation is with China right about

155
00:08:17,560 --> 00:08:20,080
Speaker 6: the future of that. So in all of these other

156
00:08:20,120 --> 00:08:22,560
Speaker 6: trade deals are about creating leverage for that, and the

157
00:08:22,880 --> 00:08:25,440
Speaker 6: you know, the India trade deals all about Russia and

158
00:08:25,560 --> 00:08:29,040
Speaker 6: Ukraine and cutting off India from buying Russian energy.

159
00:08:29,360 --> 00:08:31,920
Speaker 3: So the all of these things are interconnected.

160
00:08:31,960 --> 00:08:35,280
Speaker 6: The president has more leverage than he's ever had his

161
00:08:35,480 --> 00:08:38,920
Speaker 6: entire political career and his entire life in business. I

162
00:08:38,960 --> 00:08:41,960
Speaker 6: think that he has more power and control than ever

163
00:08:42,200 --> 00:08:45,400
Speaker 6: And so no, he's not boxed in. I think if anything,

164
00:08:45,400 --> 00:08:46,400
Speaker 6: he's in the driver's scene.

165
00:08:47,000 --> 00:08:49,160
Speaker 3: Let's let's talk what happens next.

166
00:08:49,280 --> 00:08:52,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, all the carry battlegroups, it looks like, are heading

167
00:08:52,640 --> 00:08:55,480
Speaker 1: to the North Arabian Sea, but you can't forget the

168
00:08:55,480 --> 00:08:58,400
Speaker 1: Eastern Mediterranean, where Greece and Turkey are. At the very

169
00:08:58,400 --> 00:09:01,760
Speaker 1: beginning days in this discussion, Hu said, Okay, look, if

170
00:09:01,760 --> 00:09:04,680
Speaker 1: you guys aren't prepared to go, let us go. We'll

171
00:09:04,720 --> 00:09:07,840
Speaker 1: do it, but we will need some defensive support. In

172
00:09:07,880 --> 00:09:10,360
Speaker 1: the first forty eight hours of the twelve day War,

173
00:09:10,480 --> 00:09:14,080
Speaker 1: we shipped I think sailed two or three Aegis class

174
00:09:14,120 --> 00:09:17,880
Speaker 1: cruisers to the Eastern Mediterranean, right off of Greece to

175
00:09:18,000 --> 00:09:21,000
Speaker 1: act as air defense. Is the concern in the region

176
00:09:21,400 --> 00:09:24,079
Speaker 1: that everybody's looking at the North Arabian Sea and hitting Iran,

177
00:09:24,520 --> 00:09:27,559
Speaker 1: but a conflict that could go from the Persian Gulf

178
00:09:27,600 --> 00:09:29,760
Speaker 1: and the because the Iranians, if their hit, are just

179
00:09:29,800 --> 00:09:31,280
Speaker 1: are going to try to hit back. They're going to

180
00:09:31,280 --> 00:09:33,400
Speaker 1: try to hit the old the gas fields and Katar,

181
00:09:33,760 --> 00:09:36,400
Speaker 1: They're going to try to hit the Saudiast. Is there

182
00:09:36,440 --> 00:09:40,679
Speaker 1: any concern that this could metastasize because you're essentially sitting

183
00:09:40,679 --> 00:09:43,240
Speaker 1: on a tinder box between the Greeks and the Turks

184
00:09:43,480 --> 00:09:45,200
Speaker 1: who hate each other's guts. Sir.

185
00:09:46,640 --> 00:09:49,160
Speaker 6: Yeah, Well, first off, I will say here a little

186
00:09:49,200 --> 00:09:52,839
Speaker 6: bit less of Turkey talk here since on this trip

187
00:09:52,880 --> 00:09:55,640
Speaker 6: has compared with my last one, and I think that's

188
00:09:55,679 --> 00:10:00,400
Speaker 6: because President Trump has effectively handled there to one and

189
00:10:00,520 --> 00:10:02,680
Speaker 6: you know, he says nice things about him but doesn't

190
00:10:02,679 --> 00:10:05,040
Speaker 6: actually give him anything right like. They keep wanting the

191
00:10:05,080 --> 00:10:08,199
Speaker 6: same things dating back to twenty nineteen and they haven't

192
00:10:08,240 --> 00:10:11,400
Speaker 6: gotten it right like. So that is what it is

193
00:10:11,440 --> 00:10:14,760
Speaker 6: with that, But more particularly to your point about if

194
00:10:14,800 --> 00:10:16,559
Speaker 6: there is some kind of a war with a Ran

195
00:10:16,760 --> 00:10:20,400
Speaker 6: or some kind of a military action. I literally just

196
00:10:20,480 --> 00:10:23,080
Speaker 6: left in an interview where another journalist asked me the

197
00:10:23,120 --> 00:10:27,280
Speaker 6: same question, and they are concerned about it here because

198
00:10:27,440 --> 00:10:29,120
Speaker 6: of how close it is, right like and.

199
00:10:29,080 --> 00:10:34,800
Speaker 1: So okay, I think we just dropped the feet of

200
00:10:34,800 --> 00:10:36,720
Speaker 1: Matt Bold. Try to get that set back up. Let's

201
00:10:36,720 --> 00:10:39,240
Speaker 1: go to Australia. We got doctor Thayer. This is the

202
00:10:39,280 --> 00:10:42,439
Speaker 1: magic of real America's voice. Let's go to Australia, one

203
00:10:42,480 --> 00:10:44,640
Speaker 1: of our top strategies down there for a big conference

204
00:10:44,720 --> 00:10:48,160
Speaker 1: with Ben Harnwell. Doctor Thayer. Your assessment. You've seen the

205
00:10:48,160 --> 00:10:51,360
Speaker 1: axious piece this morning. You've been warning that this planning

206
00:10:51,480 --> 00:10:53,120
Speaker 1: had to be a much more advanced than it was.

207
00:10:53,160 --> 00:10:54,560
Speaker 1: Your thoughts.

208
00:10:56,160 --> 00:10:59,560
Speaker 8: It certainly is. And the air bridge keeps flowing into

209
00:10:59,559 --> 00:11:02,400
Speaker 8: the region. And if you're looking at the movements of

210
00:11:02,440 --> 00:11:07,600
Speaker 8: course of American mobility of the Air Mobility Command, Steve, so,

211
00:11:08,120 --> 00:11:10,280
Speaker 8: lots of resources are flowing into the region.

212
00:11:10,520 --> 00:11:13,800
Speaker 1: Hang on, hang on, hang on one second, because Jim Fanel

213
00:11:13,880 --> 00:11:16,640
Speaker 1: talked about the naval resources to SCO. When you say

214
00:11:16,679 --> 00:11:18,680
Speaker 1: air bridge, what do you mean by that? To find

215
00:11:18,679 --> 00:11:21,600
Speaker 1: it for the audience, and what resources are flowing in

216
00:11:21,640 --> 00:11:22,520
Speaker 1: on the air bridge.

217
00:11:22,280 --> 00:11:29,120
Speaker 8: Now so very valuable and resources are flowing in via

218
00:11:29,400 --> 00:11:34,120
Speaker 8: American cargo aircraft. Those would be C seventeens and C

219
00:11:34,400 --> 00:11:38,760
Speaker 8: five's larger, but principally C seventeens into the region. They

220
00:11:38,800 --> 00:11:43,800
Speaker 8: would be bringing personnel, they'd be bringing material that would

221
00:11:43,800 --> 00:11:52,000
Speaker 8: be immediately useful to deploy in the region. And that

222
00:11:52,080 --> 00:11:57,120
Speaker 8: bridge is very important because it's signifying that America's precious,

223
00:11:57,480 --> 00:12:03,480
Speaker 8: valuable and assets are going there right now, right So

224
00:12:03,520 --> 00:12:08,839
Speaker 8: they're going to the Middle East presently, uh. And that's

225
00:12:09,240 --> 00:12:13,920
Speaker 8: designed to allow, obviously the military option to be executed.

226
00:12:14,000 --> 00:12:19,600
Speaker 8: That's also allowed to allow real muscle to be provided

227
00:12:19,640 --> 00:12:24,719
Speaker 8: to the diplomatic effort which is ongoing, which is coterminous.

228
00:12:24,760 --> 00:12:27,880
Speaker 8: So the Iranian regime is looking down the wrong end

229
00:12:27,920 --> 00:12:32,000
Speaker 8: of a very large gun barrel, and that's going to

230
00:12:32,080 --> 00:12:36,880
Speaker 8: help with diplomacy. But if diplomacy fails, then the trigger

231
00:12:36,960 --> 00:12:41,040
Speaker 8: is going to be pulled against the target set in.

232
00:12:42,240 --> 00:12:44,120
Speaker 1: A raw hang On, let's talk about hang On. I

233
00:12:44,160 --> 00:12:45,719
Speaker 1: want to talk about the target set because you did

234
00:12:45,720 --> 00:12:48,560
Speaker 1: great analysis in the Twelve Day War and then the

235
00:12:48,720 --> 00:12:52,320
Speaker 1: total obliteration campaign, the expeditionory force of the of the

236
00:12:52,640 --> 00:12:57,319
Speaker 1: of the bombers from Nebraska and the Navy Tomahawk missiles

237
00:12:57,520 --> 00:13:01,080
Speaker 1: also in this the strike the Magnificent Strike Special Forces

238
00:13:03,120 --> 00:13:06,240
Speaker 1: from the eighty second Airborne in Venezuela. This is quite different.

239
00:13:06,559 --> 00:13:08,760
Speaker 1: They're talking now, Axios the League, and it came from

240
00:13:08,760 --> 00:13:14,160
Speaker 1: the illustration a minimum of a several week intense bombing campaigns. Sir,

241
00:13:14,280 --> 00:13:15,959
Speaker 1: your thought, we got about a minute. We're going to

242
00:13:16,000 --> 00:13:16,520
Speaker 1: hold you through.

243
00:13:16,559 --> 00:13:21,440
Speaker 8: But your thoughts, well, certainly I would make two points

244
00:13:21,480 --> 00:13:24,840
Speaker 8: here just before the break, Steve One. Matt's right that

245
00:13:24,880 --> 00:13:31,160
Speaker 8: Trump's not boxed in, and Trump is a master negotiator,

246
00:13:31,440 --> 00:13:35,000
Speaker 8: and nothing is determinative yet. But it does look that

247
00:13:35,040 --> 00:13:38,240
Speaker 8: we are not just inching, but we're really taking some

248
00:13:38,720 --> 00:13:43,520
Speaker 8: We're galloping towards conflict with Iran. That target set could

249
00:13:43,520 --> 00:13:46,520
Speaker 8: be limited, or it could be a major attack option.

250
00:13:46,760 --> 00:13:50,880
Speaker 8: It's looking like a major attack option against the leadership,

251
00:13:50,960 --> 00:13:56,520
Speaker 8: against the Republican Guard, against other military targets, and the

252
00:13:56,559 --> 00:14:00,840
Speaker 8: ballistic missiles, of course, which are at at this point

253
00:14:01,160 --> 00:14:06,800
Speaker 8: Iran's principal mechanism of retaliation ballistic missiles, more so than

254
00:14:07,320 --> 00:14:12,200
Speaker 8: the modest aircraft assets that they have. So it does

255
00:14:12,240 --> 00:14:16,520
Speaker 8: look like we're galloping towards a major attack option against Iran,

256
00:14:17,600 --> 00:14:23,280
Speaker 8: and at this time that of course consequences, Hay in.

257
00:14:23,240 --> 00:14:25,240
Speaker 1: One second, We've got thirty seconds. I want to hold

258
00:14:25,240 --> 00:14:30,000
Speaker 1: all this through the next break galloping and not boxed

259
00:14:30,040 --> 00:14:34,360
Speaker 1: in pretty detailed leaks out to the media today, Kurt

260
00:14:34,640 --> 00:14:37,800
Speaker 1: Mills is going to Josh. We're talking about what Mershammer said.

261
00:14:38,240 --> 00:14:42,400
Speaker 1: Bruce Springsteen takes you out on the streets of Minneapolis,

262
00:14:42,440 --> 00:14:45,720
Speaker 1: not the streets of Tehran or break back in a moment.

263
00:15:00,280 --> 00:15:04,520
Speaker 1: Here's your host, Stephen k Bas Okay, we lost the

264
00:15:04,600 --> 00:15:08,440
Speaker 1: light in Athens. We're gonna try to get bowled back

265
00:15:08,520 --> 00:15:11,560
Speaker 1: up by phone doctors in Australia. Jim Murgant's gonna be

266
00:15:11,600 --> 00:15:14,080
Speaker 1: with us tomorrow. One of the best geopolitical thinkers around.

267
00:15:15,400 --> 00:15:18,400
Speaker 1: Rickards warroom dot com. You go there, You get this

268
00:15:18,520 --> 00:15:23,280
Speaker 1: a landing page, you get ass access to strategic intelligence,

269
00:15:23,320 --> 00:15:26,760
Speaker 1: his newsletter that the c suites that be Chairman of

270
00:15:26,760 --> 00:15:30,520
Speaker 1: the board and CEOs read every month. You get access

271
00:15:30,560 --> 00:15:34,680
Speaker 1: to it. It's based upon this a set of analysis

272
00:15:34,680 --> 00:15:37,720
Speaker 1: he calls predictive analytics. One of the reasons has been

273
00:15:37,720 --> 00:15:40,560
Speaker 1: so accurate is such a legendary figure. Like I said,

274
00:15:40,560 --> 00:15:44,040
Speaker 1: we're gonna try game up tomorrow morning. Rickards Worroom dot Com,

275
00:15:44,800 --> 00:15:47,640
Speaker 1: go there, right now Rickords Warroom dot COM's a landing page.

276
00:15:47,640 --> 00:15:51,360
Speaker 1: You get access to strategic intelligence and it'll throw in

277
00:15:51,400 --> 00:15:53,920
Speaker 1: a book. He wrote this quite brilliant about Fiat currency

278
00:15:53,960 --> 00:15:58,480
Speaker 1: and artificial intelligence. Was money GPT. You cannot miss it.

279
00:15:59,240 --> 00:16:02,080
Speaker 1: Jim Murgerts the best doctor Thayer. It's the middle of

280
00:16:02,080 --> 00:16:04,800
Speaker 1: the night. We're going to get you and we're gonna

281
00:16:04,800 --> 00:16:08,640
Speaker 1: stream your your talks and panels. You're there with Harnwell.

282
00:16:08,680 --> 00:16:11,840
Speaker 1: We couldn't be prouder that you're taking the taking the

283
00:16:11,840 --> 00:16:14,680
Speaker 1: war room and taking it to an Australian audience. Closing

284
00:16:14,720 --> 00:16:18,480
Speaker 1: thoughts on this, Kurt Mills is on deck. You've you've

285
00:16:18,560 --> 00:16:20,920
Speaker 1: kind of called this from the beginning. You've got an

286
00:16:20,920 --> 00:16:23,840
Speaker 1: air bridge. Now you get massive naval assets coming in

287
00:16:24,000 --> 00:16:26,960
Speaker 1: leaks from the White House saying that the planning for

288
00:16:27,040 --> 00:16:30,040
Speaker 1: this and for a sustained long attack is much more

289
00:16:30,080 --> 00:16:34,160
Speaker 1: developed than people have thought. You're closing thoughts are Yeah.

290
00:16:34,040 --> 00:16:36,880
Speaker 8: They're certainly signaling that, see right, they're signaling that this

291
00:16:37,000 --> 00:16:39,440
Speaker 8: is going to be major attack. That's useful for diplomacy,

292
00:16:39,480 --> 00:16:42,000
Speaker 8: as I said, and that would certainly be useful if

293
00:16:42,040 --> 00:16:47,520
Speaker 8: conflict erupts. My thoughts are these that closing thoughts. Are

294
00:16:47,560 --> 00:16:52,400
Speaker 8: these not determinative. President Trump can alter course if he

295
00:16:52,480 --> 00:16:56,640
Speaker 8: chooses to. Secondly, major attack option is going to be sustained,

296
00:16:57,440 --> 00:17:00,240
Speaker 8: and that's going to involve it's very difficult tart gets

297
00:17:00,240 --> 00:17:05,040
Speaker 8: set going after individuals and going after even ballistic missiles

298
00:17:05,040 --> 00:17:08,520
Speaker 8: and cruise missiles, which the Iranians have and which will

299
00:17:08,640 --> 00:17:13,280
Speaker 8: likely be along with terrorism, their principal means of retaliation

300
00:17:13,400 --> 00:17:17,639
Speaker 8: against the Gulf Shakedoms and US allies and perhaps the

301
00:17:17,760 --> 00:17:23,560
Speaker 8: US itself. Finally, this is these assets are precious, So

302
00:17:23,720 --> 00:17:27,119
Speaker 8: all the assets that are going into this area have

303
00:17:27,200 --> 00:17:31,680
Speaker 8: a high opportunity cost. Right, They're not around Japan, they're

304
00:17:31,720 --> 00:17:35,480
Speaker 8: not around Taiwan, they're not around the Philippines. Even as

305
00:17:36,040 --> 00:17:41,280
Speaker 8: Chinese communist parties aggression continues against our allies and partners

306
00:17:41,720 --> 00:17:47,080
Speaker 8: in the Indo Pacific and elsewhere. So China's military build

307
00:17:47,119 --> 00:17:50,280
Speaker 8: up and its aggression continues, and the assets that are

308
00:17:50,280 --> 00:17:53,400
Speaker 8: in the Middle East can't be used to serve conventional

309
00:17:53,440 --> 00:17:59,120
Speaker 8: detern or other missions in the Indo Pacific. So very

310
00:17:59,119 --> 00:18:02,080
Speaker 8: important to keep that in mind. If there is going

311
00:18:02,119 --> 00:18:04,440
Speaker 8: to be a war, it's likely going to be one

312
00:18:04,600 --> 00:18:07,200
Speaker 8: which is sustained. And of course every war takes its

313
00:18:07,200 --> 00:18:11,800
Speaker 8: own course right once you start it. As Klauswitz warned,

314
00:18:11,800 --> 00:18:15,400
Speaker 8: of course, warfare is not predictable. It will have its

315
00:18:15,440 --> 00:18:19,280
Speaker 8: own pathway, So very important to keep these points in

316
00:18:19,320 --> 00:18:26,359
Speaker 8: mind as we move towards obviously great security competition with Iran.

317
00:18:27,119 --> 00:18:29,840
Speaker 1: What is your social media? How they follow you on

318
00:18:29,880 --> 00:18:33,480
Speaker 1: your trip and all your writings and analysis?

319
00:18:33,520 --> 00:18:37,560
Speaker 8: Sir Well brad theare X and Bradley there get her

320
00:18:37,600 --> 00:18:40,680
Speaker 8: in truth and thanks you very much Steve for streaming.

321
00:18:40,720 --> 00:18:44,200
Speaker 8: We have a lot of great Australians here who are

322
00:18:44,680 --> 00:18:47,880
Speaker 8: working with us to solve really to cut the Gordian

323
00:18:47,920 --> 00:18:51,439
Speaker 8: k nod of Western politics, which is how can the

324
00:18:51,480 --> 00:18:54,920
Speaker 8: people of Western countries be heard right? How is it

325
00:18:54,960 --> 00:19:01,919
Speaker 8: that you can change path and bring about popular change,

326
00:19:02,960 --> 00:19:06,159
Speaker 8: whether it's in Ireland or in Texas or in Australia.

327
00:19:06,200 --> 00:19:07,680
Speaker 8: Thanks very mull.

328
00:19:06,840 --> 00:19:10,879
Speaker 1: We sent two of our biggest hammers, doctor Bradley Thayer

329
00:19:10,960 --> 00:19:14,720
Speaker 1: and our own Ben Harnwell from our international division in Rome.

330
00:19:14,800 --> 00:19:16,199
Speaker 1: So thank you sir, Thank you for being out there.

331
00:19:16,240 --> 00:19:19,080
Speaker 1: It's great. Look forward to streaming all the panels and

332
00:19:19,119 --> 00:19:24,080
Speaker 1: speeches and get you guys back on fantastic. Kurt Mills

333
00:19:25,520 --> 00:19:30,440
Speaker 1: the leak overnight to axios and others. I think part

334
00:19:30,440 --> 00:19:34,479
Speaker 1: of that came from, obviously the Israelis. The writer is

335
00:19:35,040 --> 00:19:37,080
Speaker 1: known to be very plugged in at the highest levels

336
00:19:37,119 --> 00:19:41,480
Speaker 1: of the Israeli military, intelligence services and government. What is

337
00:19:41,520 --> 00:19:46,600
Speaker 1: your thought is this, President Trump? Is this another strategic

338
00:19:46,760 --> 00:19:48,960
Speaker 1: asset he's using to try to get to a negotiate

339
00:19:49,000 --> 00:19:50,840
Speaker 1: in Because as you said two days ago, we had

340
00:19:50,880 --> 00:19:54,399
Speaker 1: you on this thing's changing every twelve hours. So given

341
00:19:54,440 --> 00:19:57,080
Speaker 1: the fact that they're sending a message that hey, we

342
00:19:57,200 --> 00:20:00,439
Speaker 1: have been planning this for a while, we under stand

343
00:20:00,440 --> 00:20:01,960
Speaker 1: that this target set is not going to be a

344
00:20:01,960 --> 00:20:04,960
Speaker 1: one night knockout like the Twelve Day War or Venezuela,

345
00:20:05,359 --> 00:20:07,159
Speaker 1: and we're set if we do it, we're set to

346
00:20:07,240 --> 00:20:10,120
Speaker 1: go in and we're set to Essentially, let's be blunt.

347
00:20:10,480 --> 00:20:13,160
Speaker 1: This is not about the nuclear at least what's been

348
00:20:13,200 --> 00:20:15,560
Speaker 1: purported is not about the nuclear program. It's not about

349
00:20:15,560 --> 00:20:18,479
Speaker 1: the blisting missile. This is a it looks like planning

350
00:20:18,520 --> 00:20:20,320
Speaker 1: a regime change strike.

351
00:20:20,560 --> 00:20:20,800
Speaker 3: Sir.

352
00:20:23,240 --> 00:20:25,480
Speaker 9: Yeah, So I think the first thing that you flag

353
00:20:25,520 --> 00:20:28,440
Speaker 9: that it's been a bit of a whiplash is an understatement.

354
00:20:29,080 --> 00:20:33,800
Speaker 9: Yesterday morning Eastern Time, so as the negotiations were concluding

355
00:20:33,840 --> 00:20:36,760
Speaker 9: at the end of the business day in Europe on Tuesday.

356
00:20:37,520 --> 00:20:41,120
Speaker 9: The Iranian readout was quite positive on how the negotiations went.

357
00:20:41,840 --> 00:20:44,439
Speaker 9: They thought that they had a framework for continuing the

358
00:20:44,520 --> 00:20:48,200
Speaker 9: talks and the US signal that the talks would continue.

359
00:20:48,320 --> 00:20:52,840
Speaker 9: The Vice President's appearance on Fox News or Fox Business

360
00:20:53,640 --> 00:20:56,760
Speaker 9: at the evening Eastern time, or at least when it aired,

361
00:20:57,680 --> 00:21:01,240
Speaker 9: was open to some interpretation of a roar shock test.

362
00:21:02,240 --> 00:21:06,280
Speaker 9: Some thought that Vance's rhetoric was pretty hawkish, indicating that

363
00:21:06,320 --> 00:21:09,000
Speaker 9: they'd only signaled that they were to continue the talks.

364
00:21:09,359 --> 00:21:12,600
Speaker 9: Others thought that there was more of an opening there. Dvance,

365
00:21:12,680 --> 00:21:16,520
Speaker 9: the Vice President, only emphasized, as the President has emphasized

366
00:21:16,680 --> 00:21:19,480
Speaker 9: that no nuclear weapon is the goal. So if that

367
00:21:19,600 --> 00:21:22,399
Speaker 9: is the goal, in my view, they will come to

368
00:21:22,480 --> 00:21:26,000
Speaker 9: a deal. If the goal is more expansive, i e.

369
00:21:26,200 --> 00:21:29,840
Speaker 9: Zero enrichment, Basically what it would take is ninety percent

370
00:21:29,840 --> 00:21:31,760
Speaker 9: in Richmond to get a nuclear weapon. So if they

371
00:21:31,760 --> 00:21:34,119
Speaker 9: accepted some low level in RICHMENTD like one point five,

372
00:21:34,880 --> 00:21:36,520
Speaker 9: I think we would get a deal. If the goal

373
00:21:36,560 --> 00:21:40,520
Speaker 9: is zero enrichment or even more expansive ballistic missiles, then

374
00:21:40,560 --> 00:21:42,879
Speaker 9: I think we are going to war. And the report

375
00:21:42,920 --> 00:21:45,280
Speaker 9: that revened in you're right to say the acost writer

376
00:21:45,640 --> 00:21:48,560
Speaker 9: is extremely plugged in. I believe he's a dual national

377
00:21:48,600 --> 00:21:52,720
Speaker 9: or he's literally just an Israeli says that not only

378
00:21:52,760 --> 00:21:55,480
Speaker 9: is Trump considering going to war, that it's going to

379
00:21:55,480 --> 00:21:59,199
Speaker 9: be a war that is far, far, far more expansive

380
00:21:59,600 --> 00:22:03,800
Speaker 9: than the operation that went on to Maduro. Indeed, as

381
00:22:03,840 --> 00:22:07,560
Speaker 9: the midnight hour approached Eastern time last night, the people

382
00:22:07,640 --> 00:22:10,320
Speaker 9: very plugged into it thought that there was a chance

383
00:22:10,359 --> 00:22:14,440
Speaker 9: not only of a strike a la June twenty twenty five,

384
00:22:14,720 --> 00:22:18,200
Speaker 9: but a broader maneuver. And as the day as wanted

385
00:22:18,200 --> 00:22:23,200
Speaker 9: is on today Wednesday, the Iranians appear prepared for that

386
00:22:23,600 --> 00:22:28,159
Speaker 9: contingency and that battle that ship before is ap appears

387
00:22:28,160 --> 00:22:30,200
Speaker 9: to be a lot closer to the region that people

388
00:22:30,480 --> 00:22:31,840
Speaker 9: understood even the day ago.

389
00:22:33,119 --> 00:22:35,800
Speaker 1: So let's go back. I want to go back over

390
00:22:35,840 --> 00:22:38,920
Speaker 1: there for a second, particularly because the region. I think

391
00:22:38,960 --> 00:22:41,080
Speaker 1: people in the region are not as gung ho as

392
00:22:41,080 --> 00:22:44,760
Speaker 1: as because of the blistic missile situation, the gas fields

393
00:22:44,800 --> 00:22:48,480
Speaker 1: with Qatar, which I think some of them jointly run

394
00:22:48,560 --> 00:22:51,760
Speaker 1: with the Persians. You got the situation with the southeast

395
00:22:52,640 --> 00:22:55,440
Speaker 1: and the blistic missiles. I can't see now if you're saying, hey,

396
00:22:55,480 --> 00:22:58,399
Speaker 1: it's got to be totally about enrichment in nuclear I

397
00:22:58,480 --> 00:23:01,720
Speaker 1: just don't see how President Trump gets off this ballistic

398
00:23:01,760 --> 00:23:05,280
Speaker 1: missile situation because I think it's absolutely not ICBMs, not

399
00:23:05,359 --> 00:23:07,199
Speaker 1: things that would hit the United States as a lot

400
00:23:07,200 --> 00:23:10,360
Speaker 1: of people, you know, to run hurified. These are these

401
00:23:10,359 --> 00:23:13,560
Speaker 1: are these are the blistic missiles hit Tel Aviv that

402
00:23:13,640 --> 00:23:16,280
Speaker 1: did so much damage, also could hit Qatar. And they're

403
00:23:16,280 --> 00:23:18,359
Speaker 1: really concerned about the old fields. I've talked to people

404
00:23:18,359 --> 00:23:20,679
Speaker 1: that are experts in the region. They're saying, hey, you

405
00:23:20,760 --> 00:23:23,360
Speaker 1: get into a three or four week shooting war. Here

406
00:23:23,400 --> 00:23:26,440
Speaker 1: our gas field, that massive gas field that supplies so

407
00:23:26,560 --> 00:23:30,199
Speaker 1: much for Europe and others could be taken out and

408
00:23:30,240 --> 00:23:33,679
Speaker 1: not be brought back up for five years. So I

409
00:23:33,720 --> 00:23:37,000
Speaker 1: don't see any situation. Do you think that these negotiations

410
00:23:37,520 --> 00:23:39,960
Speaker 1: can't include some sort of discussion of blistic missiles? And

411
00:23:39,960 --> 00:23:41,560
Speaker 1: if you're saying the Iranians are going to say, well,

412
00:23:41,560 --> 00:23:44,240
Speaker 1: heck would that would just go to war, then I

413
00:23:44,280 --> 00:23:46,640
Speaker 1: think we're in the path to a kinetic conflict, right.

414
00:23:47,760 --> 00:23:50,240
Speaker 9: I mean, look, the president has to decide basically what

415
00:23:50,280 --> 00:23:54,280
Speaker 9: his criterion are. I totally see a pathway to negotiation

416
00:23:54,359 --> 00:23:57,520
Speaker 9: without the missiles. That's what the original negotiations were last spring,

417
00:23:57,760 --> 00:24:00,560
Speaker 9: before the negotiations were interrupted by the israel Is. And

418
00:24:00,560 --> 00:24:03,159
Speaker 9: then frankly, this is why our politics are becoming corroded

419
00:24:03,200 --> 00:24:08,399
Speaker 9: by this discussion. Frankly, the mcbms, the medium range ballistic missiles, uh,

420
00:24:08,800 --> 00:24:11,960
Speaker 9: don't affect the United States. They're not a threat to

421
00:24:12,000 --> 00:24:13,879
Speaker 9: the United States. They're a threat to Israel. They're not

422
00:24:13,920 --> 00:24:15,399
Speaker 9: a threat to anybody else in the region.

423
00:24:15,440 --> 00:24:18,359
Speaker 1: They're not a threat hang on, hanging hand. They're a

424
00:24:18,359 --> 00:24:20,679
Speaker 1: threat to the gas fields, are they not. That's what

425
00:24:20,680 --> 00:24:27,160
Speaker 1: They're going to hit the gas only in the war. Yeah, only,

426
00:24:27,240 --> 00:24:29,000
Speaker 1: that's yes, Yes.

427
00:24:29,560 --> 00:24:30,240
Speaker 2: We don't go to war.

428
00:24:30,280 --> 00:24:31,600
Speaker 9: There's no there's no threat.

429
00:24:32,119 --> 00:24:35,960
Speaker 1: Right, Uh, but we haven't. They didn't hit Israel until

430
00:24:36,000 --> 00:24:38,720
Speaker 1: we went to war there. Anyway, what it seems, it

431
00:24:38,800 --> 00:24:41,640
Speaker 1: seems like from the messaging over the last twenty four hours,

432
00:24:42,200 --> 00:24:44,520
Speaker 1: and we had Rabbi Wilucki on here yesterday and one

433
00:24:44,520 --> 00:24:46,399
Speaker 1: thing he mentioned about the framework, he said, look, the

434
00:24:46,400 --> 00:24:49,679
Speaker 1: way the Persians, as you know, they're so bureaucracked, the

435
00:24:49,680 --> 00:24:52,879
Speaker 1: way they traditionally negotiate is a win for them is

436
00:24:52,880 --> 00:24:55,960
Speaker 1: to have another meeting. And so this may be going down,

437
00:24:55,960 --> 00:24:59,320
Speaker 1: and Wick coffin Kushner could be reporting back and saying, hey,

438
00:24:59,359 --> 00:25:01,520
Speaker 1: they want to get the next meeting. There's a serious list,

439
00:25:01,600 --> 00:25:05,240
Speaker 1: but are we really making any headway on the big issues?

440
00:25:05,359 --> 00:25:08,240
Speaker 1: As you know, President Trump is a patient man, but

441
00:25:08,320 --> 00:25:11,840
Speaker 1: he does have limited patients. Sir, Yeah, I know.

442
00:25:12,160 --> 00:25:14,440
Speaker 9: I mean the pretty hawkish nuclear expert who I think

443
00:25:14,520 --> 00:25:16,600
Speaker 9: is who is a professional. I don't agree with his politics.

444
00:25:16,640 --> 00:25:20,439
Speaker 9: But David Albright has signaled that the Iranians are beginning

445
00:25:20,440 --> 00:25:23,640
Speaker 9: to hide nuclear weapons sorry you have a nuclear material

446
00:25:24,040 --> 00:25:28,560
Speaker 9: again underground further to try to shield them from bombing.

447
00:25:28,760 --> 00:25:30,560
Speaker 9: So there is evidence that, you know, look that the

448
00:25:30,600 --> 00:25:34,080
Speaker 9: iridiance could be stalling. But I think the overriding story

449
00:25:34,119 --> 00:25:39,320
Speaker 9: here is that this is basically a bureaucratic, autocratic you know,

450
00:25:39,760 --> 00:25:43,240
Speaker 9: almost Soviet highed part of the world, and that they

451
00:25:43,280 --> 00:25:46,719
Speaker 9: are pretty slow and negotiating. In fact, they still maintain

452
00:25:46,800 --> 00:25:49,320
Speaker 9: that they want to do indirect negotiations, which is these

453
00:25:49,320 --> 00:25:52,320
Speaker 9: are sort of bizarre situations in which you know, wickoffs

454
00:25:52,359 --> 00:25:54,600
Speaker 9: in one room, the fore Minister of rachis in another room.

455
00:25:54,680 --> 00:25:58,000
Speaker 9: They're not doing themselves any favor, but I mean going

456
00:25:58,040 --> 00:26:03,440
Speaker 9: to full scale war because the Iranians tactical decisions diplomatically

457
00:26:03,720 --> 00:26:06,560
Speaker 9: are goofy. I'm not really sure as in the American interest.

458
00:26:07,480 --> 00:26:09,120
Speaker 1: Hang over a second, because I want to talk about

459
00:26:09,119 --> 00:26:14,159
Speaker 1: the political calculation here domestically, because obviously from Georgia and people,

460
00:26:14,840 --> 00:26:17,160
Speaker 1: they're coming in and out that Georgia election board. We've

461
00:26:17,160 --> 00:26:19,399
Speaker 1: got it up streaming. It's right there. It was on

462
00:26:19,680 --> 00:26:21,280
Speaker 1: this right there on the screen. You can dip in

463
00:26:21,320 --> 00:26:25,840
Speaker 1: and out of that fascinating effort in Georgia as we

464
00:26:25,920 --> 00:26:27,679
Speaker 1: dig in there to make sure they don't give up

465
00:26:27,680 --> 00:26:29,639
Speaker 1: the don't give up the ballots and get to the

466
00:26:29,640 --> 00:26:32,840
Speaker 1: bottom of this entire mess that stolen twenty twenty election. Yes,

467
00:26:33,200 --> 00:26:37,400
Speaker 1: it's still living and breathing because the streets of Minneapolis

468
00:26:37,400 --> 00:26:40,040
Speaker 1: are still living in breeding. The twenty five million of

469
00:26:41,119 --> 00:26:45,760
Speaker 1: illegal alien invaders have not left the country. Natasha Owens

470
00:26:45,920 --> 00:26:48,040
Speaker 1: takes us out where their hit the boss back in

471
00:26:48,080 --> 00:26:48,440
Speaker 1: a moment.

472
00:27:00,400 --> 00:27:02,760
Speaker 2: Confuse your host, Stephen k Man.

473
00:27:04,000 --> 00:27:07,240
Speaker 1: Okay, we've got Matt Boyle by phone. We lost the light.

474
00:27:08,480 --> 00:27:11,000
Speaker 1: Pretty poetic, right, We lost the light in Athens, but

475
00:27:11,080 --> 00:27:13,520
Speaker 1: we have Matt Boyle by phone. Matt, you are a

476
00:27:13,600 --> 00:27:18,040
Speaker 1: national political editor of a Breitbart News and have been

477
00:27:18,119 --> 00:27:21,600
Speaker 1: for a very long time. You're probably I think the

478
00:27:21,640 --> 00:27:26,920
Speaker 1: best reporter by far understanding maga uh where it looks

479
00:27:27,040 --> 00:27:29,920
Speaker 1: like potentially on a path to a kinetic conflict here

480
00:27:30,960 --> 00:27:33,040
Speaker 1: your domestic political calculations of that.

481
00:27:33,119 --> 00:27:37,520
Speaker 10: Sir, Well, look, I mean, if they if we are

482
00:27:37,600 --> 00:27:39,560
Speaker 10: on a path to a conflict, which I would agree

483
00:27:39,560 --> 00:27:43,520
Speaker 10: with your assessment, it seems like we are. Then again,

484
00:27:44,080 --> 00:27:47,439
Speaker 10: if it really is very quick over and on, I

485
00:27:47,480 --> 00:27:51,360
Speaker 10: think the president will be viewed as as a massive success.

486
00:27:51,480 --> 00:27:54,320
Speaker 10: But if it turns into a long, drag out thing,

487
00:27:54,480 --> 00:27:56,320
Speaker 10: right like, I mean they're talking about what three or

488
00:27:56,320 --> 00:27:58,640
Speaker 10: four weeks right now, Well that's what they were saying

489
00:27:58,640 --> 00:28:01,199
Speaker 10: at the beginning of Iraq, right like, you know, and

490
00:28:01,240 --> 00:28:04,480
Speaker 10: then a decade or so later we were still there, right, So,

491
00:28:04,640 --> 00:28:07,400
Speaker 10: Like the question is is can the president do something

492
00:28:07,480 --> 00:28:11,240
Speaker 10: quick and you know, not protracted and not long and

493
00:28:11,840 --> 00:28:18,200
Speaker 10: is the objective achieved very quickly in our American lives protected.

494
00:28:18,240 --> 00:28:21,080
Speaker 10: If that's the case, then you know he's gonna go

495
00:28:21,160 --> 00:28:24,280
Speaker 10: down as a you know, an incredible leader if he

496
00:28:24,560 --> 00:28:28,760
Speaker 10: gets us dragged into a long protracted war that destabilizes

497
00:28:28,800 --> 00:28:30,640
Speaker 10: the region. And what I think when we got cut

498
00:28:30,680 --> 00:28:34,480
Speaker 10: off there, I was just talking about when the connection

499
00:28:34,600 --> 00:28:38,040
Speaker 10: dropped for me, Uh, that we were just talking about

500
00:28:38,040 --> 00:28:41,200
Speaker 10: how Greek people. I've been talking to lots of different

501
00:28:41,200 --> 00:28:44,280
Speaker 10: Greek people, both inside and outside government, Uh, and they

502
00:28:44,320 --> 00:28:47,440
Speaker 10: are all talking about this and what whether or not

503
00:28:48,000 --> 00:28:51,680
Speaker 10: it may or may not destabilize the region. Everybody understands

504
00:28:52,080 --> 00:28:57,400
Speaker 10: that that you know, this this has worldwide consequences, UH,

505
00:28:57,600 --> 00:29:00,680
Speaker 10: that will ripple across Europe, that will go you know,

506
00:29:00,760 --> 00:29:04,680
Speaker 10: into Asia, that you know, over to the United States,

507
00:29:04,720 --> 00:29:08,960
Speaker 10: and so, you know, will this undercut the president's broader

508
00:29:09,040 --> 00:29:13,440
Speaker 10: agenda of rewriting the global economic order in a manner

509
00:29:13,520 --> 00:29:15,960
Speaker 10: that helps America first with the trade deals that he's

510
00:29:16,000 --> 00:29:19,880
Speaker 10: been doing around the world. Will it undercut the energy

511
00:29:19,920 --> 00:29:23,560
Speaker 10: agenda that he's achieving, or will it again just be

512
00:29:23,600 --> 00:29:25,960
Speaker 10: a quick or you know, in and out type of

513
00:29:25,960 --> 00:29:28,000
Speaker 10: a thing. I don't I don't know the answers to

514
00:29:28,040 --> 00:29:30,800
Speaker 10: those questions. I can't see the future, but I can't

515
00:29:30,840 --> 00:29:34,640
Speaker 10: tell you that those are the questions that American voters

516
00:29:34,680 --> 00:29:36,960
Speaker 10: are going to be asking. And there again, at the

517
00:29:37,040 --> 00:29:40,080
Speaker 10: end of the day, Republicans want to win the mid terms,

518
00:29:40,320 --> 00:29:44,040
Speaker 10: they need to deliver economically on the things that presidents

519
00:29:44,040 --> 00:29:46,920
Speaker 10: from campaigned on in twenty twenty four and in other

520
00:29:47,000 --> 00:29:51,040
Speaker 10: elections as well, the MAGA agenda. And I don't know

521
00:29:51,160 --> 00:29:54,560
Speaker 10: how war helps the economy so much. It really probably doesn't,

522
00:29:54,720 --> 00:29:59,520
Speaker 10: right like. And so this is you know, not necessarily

523
00:29:59,760 --> 00:30:03,200
Speaker 10: the uh, the thing that you know is going to

524
00:30:03,240 --> 00:30:05,640
Speaker 10: address the big buzzword of the year, if you will,

525
00:30:05,680 --> 00:30:08,120
Speaker 10: which is affordability, right like, which we'll probably have another

526
00:30:08,160 --> 00:30:12,040
Speaker 10: buzzword from the Democrats by November. But the point is

527
00:30:12,040 --> 00:30:14,600
Speaker 10: is that it's you know, I don't know if this

528
00:30:14,920 --> 00:30:17,000
Speaker 10: this does that, so we'll see.

529
00:30:17,040 --> 00:30:18,640
Speaker 1: Yeah, No, we had we had Peter on right for

530
00:30:18,680 --> 00:30:21,600
Speaker 1: you to talking about their affordability agenda, particularly in housing.

531
00:30:21,680 --> 00:30:26,840
Speaker 1: Med Bowll fantastic. Uh. The event with Kimberly was fantastic.

532

00:31:30,040 --> 00:31:32,640
Speaker 3: Yep, all right, thank you, Seve Kurt And.

557
00:31:32,640 --> 00:31:34,640
Speaker 1: The time we got a remaining and I want to

558
00:31:34,680 --> 00:31:37,400
Speaker 1: do something. You know, there has been this tension or

559
00:31:37,480 --> 00:31:41,640
Speaker 1: a discussion between the Israelis and the Americans and NTNYA,

560
00:31:41,720 --> 00:31:44,920
Speaker 1: who's basically and They've leaked this out to say, look,

561
00:31:44,960 --> 00:31:47,360
Speaker 1: if you're not prepared and not ready, we got it.

562
00:31:47,680 --> 00:31:49,880
Speaker 1: If the political calculation is not right, we got it.

563
00:31:50,320 --> 00:31:53,200
Speaker 1: But we're gonna go. You know, we got this thing

564
00:31:53,240 --> 00:31:55,400
Speaker 1: where we want it. We're gonna go, but we're gonna

565
00:31:55,400 --> 00:31:57,959
Speaker 1: need some defensive backup. We're gonna need those as class

566
00:31:58,480 --> 00:32:02,840
Speaker 1: sent back to the Eastern med We're neat dads and patriots.

567
00:32:03,000 --> 00:32:05,840
Speaker 1: You got to back us up. Because Tel Aviv and

568
00:32:05,840 --> 00:32:08,520
Speaker 1: people don't realize. President Trump on the Twelve Day War,

569
00:32:08,560 --> 00:32:10,200
Speaker 1: one of the reasons he stepped in to take it

570
00:32:10,240 --> 00:32:13,680
Speaker 1: down was that Tel Aviv was getting really a viscerated.

571
00:32:14,520 --> 00:32:16,720
Speaker 1: Is there an option here that the Israelis can do

572
00:32:16,720 --> 00:32:20,320
Speaker 1: it on their own and we can provide enough minimum

573
00:32:20,360 --> 00:32:23,640
Speaker 1: defense that we don't get dragged in that the Persian

574
00:32:23,680 --> 00:32:25,880
Speaker 1: is just going to say, screw it. I'm going after Cutter,

575
00:32:26,000 --> 00:32:29,280
Speaker 1: I'm going after the Saudi's, I'm going after every American base.

576
00:32:29,360 --> 00:32:32,000
Speaker 1: I'm going to go after the two battle groups.

577
00:32:32,040 --> 00:32:36,520
Speaker 9: Sir, I'm not sure. I mean number one. I think

578
00:32:36,560 --> 00:32:40,239
Speaker 9: to answer your question directly, that would potentially impair al

579
00:32:40,280 --> 00:32:42,920
Speaker 9: the negotiations between the United States and Iran, and the

580
00:32:42,920 --> 00:32:45,719
Speaker 9: President seems to like these talks going on, just to

581
00:32:45,720 --> 00:32:47,640
Speaker 9: have the talks. I mean, say what you will for

582
00:32:47,680 --> 00:32:50,840
Speaker 9: the Iranians, but the President is negotiating a number of

583
00:32:50,880 --> 00:32:53,360
Speaker 9: world conflicts right now and likes to be part of

584
00:32:53,360 --> 00:32:57,400
Speaker 9: the conversation. And supporting a military action led by Israel

585
00:32:57,440 --> 00:33:01,480
Speaker 9: on Iran isn't exactly the act of interested party. So

586
00:33:01,520 --> 00:33:05,520
Speaker 9: I think the Iranians will discontinue it. So and then additionally,

587
00:33:05,840 --> 00:33:10,440
Speaker 9: I'm not sure there's full trust from the Israelis actually

588
00:33:10,680 --> 00:33:14,120
Speaker 9: that if the Israelis led the attack number one, that

589
00:33:14,120 --> 00:33:16,960
Speaker 9: they could decapitate the regime. All the reportings since the

590
00:33:16,960 --> 00:33:19,480
Speaker 9: beginning of the administration is that they feel that they can't.

591
00:33:20,080 --> 00:33:22,600
Speaker 9: They couldn't bomb far Dow, and they can't even do

592
00:33:22,640 --> 00:33:25,000
Speaker 9: a lot of these special operations about US air support.

593
00:33:25,600 --> 00:33:28,200
Speaker 9: That's all the reporting, and that's all the military understanding

594
00:33:28,200 --> 00:33:31,400
Speaker 9: that I have on that front. And then secondarily, there

595
00:33:31,480 --> 00:33:35,520
Speaker 9: is the precedent. It's a small precedent comparatively of Yemen.

596
00:33:36,240 --> 00:33:38,920
Speaker 9: So the President got into a new war in Yemen

597
00:33:39,000 --> 00:33:42,400
Speaker 9: with the Huthis last spring, and then he left it.

598
00:33:42,520 --> 00:33:45,320
Speaker 9: He cut bait, he cut a separate deal with the

599
00:33:45,320 --> 00:33:49,480
Speaker 9: Houthi leadership, and he said, this is basically an Israeli problem. Now,

600
00:33:49,680 --> 00:33:53,959
Speaker 9: Yemen and the Huthis are much smaller potatoes than the Iranians,

601
00:33:55,480 --> 00:33:58,200
Speaker 9: but the Israelis must have to fear that contingency, and

602
00:33:58,240 --> 00:34:00,240
Speaker 9: they should fear it that if the war got really

603
00:34:00,320 --> 00:34:02,440
Speaker 9: nasty and the Irridians put up much more of a

604
00:34:02,480 --> 00:34:06,480
Speaker 9: fight this time, which I deeply suspect they will, that

605
00:34:06,520 --> 00:34:08,200
Speaker 9: Trump in the US will just get out and then

606
00:34:08,200 --> 00:34:10,280
Speaker 9: the Israelis will have a war that they can't finish.

607
00:34:11,040 --> 00:34:14,440
Speaker 1: So, Kurt, we've got on the screen down below, were

608
00:34:14,920 --> 00:34:19,440
Speaker 1: all day at the Georgia Election Board hearing the Warwriom.

609
00:34:19,480 --> 00:34:22,600
Speaker 1: Audience is very focused on the Steel of twenty twenty.

610
00:34:22,880 --> 00:34:25,800
Speaker 1: We've had these reports now that they're mocking and ridiculing

611
00:34:25,920 --> 00:34:29,320
Speaker 1: us in Minnesota about how we you know, the Marxists

612
00:34:29,320 --> 00:34:31,000
Speaker 1: are saying, we lost and we were treated. We're not

613
00:34:31,000 --> 00:34:33,520
Speaker 1: going to do any nasty deportations. They just had a

614
00:34:33,560 --> 00:34:37,319
Speaker 1: major jury nullification here in Dallas on a murder on

615
00:34:38,040 --> 00:34:41,759
Speaker 1: trendy Aragra murdering people in cold blood. And now we

616
00:34:41,800 --> 00:34:46,080
Speaker 1: see these pamphlets and courses on jury nullification. How they're

617
00:34:46,080 --> 00:34:50,480
Speaker 1: training up the left. The left is motivated, it's doing

618
00:34:50,560 --> 00:34:54,160
Speaker 1: voter registration, it's getting out the vote. How does this

619
00:34:54,280 --> 00:34:58,320
Speaker 1: play particularly? And I'm just saying what was in Axios

620
00:34:58,360 --> 00:35:01,480
Speaker 1: this morning that the administrat has not said, Hey, this

621
00:35:01,600 --> 00:35:05,760
Speaker 1: is not true, this detailed plan of an extended bombing campaign.

622
00:35:06,080 --> 00:35:08,359
Speaker 1: How do you think that plays domestically? Given that fact?

623
00:35:08,360 --> 00:35:10,000
Speaker 1: They had the meeting Air State at the Capitol Hill

624
00:35:10,040 --> 00:35:12,520
Speaker 1: Club and they talked about everything's about the economy. We

625
00:35:12,560 --> 00:35:16,040
Speaker 1: had Navarn here. It's all predicated and affordability, GDP growth,

626
00:35:16,280 --> 00:35:20,240
Speaker 1: wage growth, job growth, et cetera, et cetera, et cetera.

627
00:35:20,320 --> 00:35:22,600
Speaker 1: How does this fit into that calculation.

628
00:35:23,280 --> 00:35:25,200
Speaker 9: Well, it's hard to make the argument that you're focused

629
00:35:25,239 --> 00:35:27,600
Speaker 9: on the economy if you're starting new foreign wars. And

630
00:35:27,640 --> 00:35:30,600
Speaker 9: then additionally, this is a foreign war unlike some of

631
00:35:30,600 --> 00:35:33,960
Speaker 9: the other of the adventures that Trump has flirted with,

632
00:35:34,120 --> 00:35:37,120
Speaker 9: that actually could really spiral the economy. I mean, it

633
00:35:37,200 --> 00:35:39,440
Speaker 9: is not going to be hard for the Iranians to

634
00:35:39,440 --> 00:35:42,920
Speaker 9: close the straight up. He removes the very small channel

635
00:35:42,960 --> 00:35:45,160
Speaker 9: of water that a lot of global oil goes through.

636
00:35:45,520 --> 00:35:47,279
Speaker 9: If the Iranians close it, and all they have to

637
00:35:47,280 --> 00:35:49,400
Speaker 9: do to close it is start filing it, firing a

638
00:35:49,480 --> 00:35:52,880
Speaker 9: few missiles were a few bullets literally at ships, and

639
00:35:52,880 --> 00:35:54,960
Speaker 9: no one's going to put their sailors through it. No

640
00:35:54,960 --> 00:35:57,399
Speaker 9: one's going to ensure those kinds of ships except for

641
00:35:57,440 --> 00:36:01,400
Speaker 9: the black market pirates. Frankly, that would spike the price

642
00:36:01,440 --> 00:36:05,440
Speaker 9: of crude to let's say, eighty ninety dollars a barrel.

643
00:36:05,560 --> 00:36:08,880
Speaker 9: So you know, one point five x two x, Americans

644
00:36:08,880 --> 00:36:10,880
Speaker 9: aren't going to like that. Americans aren't going to understand

645
00:36:10,880 --> 00:36:15,560
Speaker 9: why we're doing this. Moreover, I think you know that

646
00:36:15,680 --> 00:36:19,279
Speaker 9: there's a sort of canard or lightmotif that you know,

647
00:36:19,680 --> 00:36:23,080
Speaker 9: basically Trump's support is durable. I agree with that. I

648
00:36:23,120 --> 00:36:24,680
Speaker 9: think if you call I think if we do this

649
00:36:24,719 --> 00:36:27,959
Speaker 9: war with iron and we are calling people at Easter, say,

650
00:36:28,080 --> 00:36:30,600
Speaker 9: you know, early April, and they asked, do you support

651
00:36:30,600 --> 00:36:34,000
Speaker 9: the president? If you if you call the median listener

652
00:36:34,040 --> 00:36:35,880
Speaker 9: to war room and you ask them, do you support

653
00:36:35,880 --> 00:36:39,040
Speaker 9: the president? Do you support the administration, They're gonna say yes, right,

654
00:36:39,239 --> 00:36:41,320
Speaker 9: But there's a lot of ruin and a level of support.

655
00:36:41,840 --> 00:36:44,239
Speaker 9: There's such a thing as motivation, there's such a thing

656
00:36:44,239 --> 00:36:48,400
Speaker 9: as demotivation. And if you know, it's one thing to

657
00:36:48,440 --> 00:36:51,480
Speaker 9: prefer this administration over a democratic one, it's one thing

658
00:36:51,480 --> 00:36:55,880
Speaker 9: to prefer Donald Trump over most Republicans or any Republican.

659
00:36:56,000 --> 00:36:59,440
Speaker 9: I do, certainly, but it's another thing to not really

660
00:36:59,600 --> 00:37:02,600
Speaker 9: understand and or have faith in the course of action.

661
00:37:02,920 --> 00:37:05,439
Speaker 9: That looks a lot like George W. Bush. That looks

662
00:37:05,480 --> 00:37:08,360
Speaker 9: a lot like George W. Bush's second term. And meanwhile,

663
00:37:08,400 --> 00:37:10,680
Speaker 9: the Democrats can dust off the two thousand and six

664
00:37:10,719 --> 00:37:13,640
Speaker 9: two thousand and seven playbook and run the anti war

665
00:37:13,920 --> 00:37:17,239
Speaker 9: movement thing. Yeah, it'll be very cynical, because the Democrats

666
00:37:17,239 --> 00:37:19,520
Speaker 9: continued a lot of these wars, they expanded a lot

667
00:37:19,600 --> 00:37:22,000
Speaker 9: of these wars. But it doesn't matter. Centitism wins all

668
00:37:22,000 --> 00:37:24,040
Speaker 9: the time in politics, and they can try to run it.

669
00:37:24,239 --> 00:37:26,839
Speaker 9: And then finally, one other domestic parallel that I think

670
00:37:26,880 --> 00:37:30,759
Speaker 9: should be flagged from history. Barack Obama came in as

671
00:37:30,760 --> 00:37:33,840
Speaker 9: an anti war president, and he saw his own ranks

672
00:37:33,960 --> 00:37:37,640
Speaker 9: demotivated by what they saw as an establishment sell out presidency,

673
00:37:37,880 --> 00:37:40,600
Speaker 9: and that led to the rise of Bernie Sanders. And

674
00:37:40,640 --> 00:37:42,799
Speaker 9: I think, you know it should not be discounted.

675
00:37:42,800 --> 00:37:43,040
Speaker 10: We are.

676
00:37:43,080 --> 00:37:43,560
Speaker 1: It is a lot.

677
00:37:43,600 --> 00:37:45,799
Speaker 9: It is very early in the political calendar, but there

678
00:37:45,800 --> 00:37:49,440
Speaker 9: could be a serious new populous right backlash to an

679
00:37:49,440 --> 00:37:51,120
Speaker 9: already populist right administration.

680
00:37:51,960 --> 00:37:54,600
Speaker 1: Let me ask you, you know, in the Twelve Day War

681
00:37:54,920 --> 00:37:57,000
Speaker 1: and in Venezuela there was a lot of build up

682
00:37:57,000 --> 00:37:59,480
Speaker 1: and people said, hey, that you know, if President Trump

683
00:37:59,480 --> 00:38:01,480
Speaker 1: goes in and try to do regime change, bombing is

684
00:38:01,480 --> 00:38:02,240
Speaker 1: going to be a disaster.

685
00:38:02,560 --> 00:38:02,840
Speaker 3: He was.

686
00:38:02,960 --> 00:38:06,960
Speaker 1: He sent an expeditionary force that was highly targeted, right

687
00:38:07,000 --> 00:38:10,239
Speaker 1: you s he sent the B twos from from from Nebraska,

688
00:38:10,280 --> 00:38:13,759
Speaker 1: and he sent or you know, on the Midwest, and

689
00:38:13,800 --> 00:38:17,720
Speaker 1: you sent the Navy submarines with the Tomahawks. Boom overdone,

690
00:38:17,880 --> 00:38:22,200
Speaker 1: obliteration in uh Venezuela, the same thing. Take out the

691
00:38:22,239 --> 00:38:24,360
Speaker 1: top guy, make a deal with the other people, figure

692
00:38:24,400 --> 00:38:27,480
Speaker 1: it out. What about because President Trump is a guy

693
00:38:27,480 --> 00:38:30,319
Speaker 1: who looks at a range of alternatives. But if there's

694
00:38:30,360 --> 00:38:33,319
Speaker 1: a strike, it's a concentrated strike and not this three

695
00:38:33,360 --> 00:38:35,600
Speaker 1: or four week bombing campaign which they may have leaked,

696
00:38:36,000 --> 00:38:39,719
Speaker 1: as you said, just negotiating power. If it's intense, if

697
00:38:39,760 --> 00:38:43,960
Speaker 1: it's concentrated, and if it gets results, where do you

698
00:38:43,960 --> 00:38:44,799
Speaker 1: think that leaves us?

699
00:38:45,800 --> 00:38:48,719
Speaker 9: What are results that decapitation of the regime? Is that

700
00:38:48,760 --> 00:38:52,440
Speaker 9: even particularly preferable, because I mean the US will then

701
00:38:52,480 --> 00:38:56,600
Speaker 9: be responsible for the transition, and I think the US

702
00:38:56,680 --> 00:38:59,000
Speaker 9: will have to handle the transition the Israelis won't.

703
00:38:59,680 --> 00:39:01,839
Speaker 1: I want, I want to go back to that. Your

704
00:39:01,880 --> 00:39:04,160
Speaker 1: belief is is that if you go in and it's

705
00:39:04,160 --> 00:39:07,000
Speaker 1: more than just taking out ballistic missiles. Are some broader

706
00:39:07,000 --> 00:39:10,160
Speaker 1: contexts with these negotiations, But if it's taking out the

707
00:39:10,200 --> 00:39:15,279
Speaker 1: Iranian military, the Revolutionary Guard, the Mullah's ayahtolas, you own it.

708
00:39:15,520 --> 00:39:17,960
Speaker 1: You gatbery worked up in the streets by destroying you

709
00:39:17,960 --> 00:39:20,520
Speaker 1: know best in destroying their currency. You got them all

710
00:39:20,560 --> 00:39:24,640
Speaker 1: worked up. If you take it now, you own it. Yeah.

711
00:39:24,680 --> 00:39:27,120
Speaker 9: Pottery bond rule, right, I mean Colin Powell was right

712
00:39:27,120 --> 00:39:28,840
Speaker 9: about this. I mean I think Colin Powell should have

713
00:39:28,840 --> 00:39:31,600
Speaker 9: resigned for the Bush administration rather than to advocate for war.

714
00:39:31,680 --> 00:39:33,319
Speaker 9: He didn't believe it, and I think that's on his

715
00:39:33,440 --> 00:39:37,320
Speaker 9: record forever. But Colin Powell's arguments internally cautioning against the

716
00:39:37,400 --> 00:39:40,279
Speaker 9: Iraq war based on the pottery bond rule. If you

717
00:39:40,280 --> 00:39:42,040
Speaker 9: break it, you buy it, Which is why the first

718
00:39:42,040 --> 00:39:45,560
Speaker 9: put Bush administration, George H. W. Bush, the father of

719
00:39:45,760 --> 00:39:48,800
Speaker 9: Say what you will, more responsible president than his son,

720
00:39:49,239 --> 00:39:51,120
Speaker 9: didn't go all the way to the Baghdad because they

721
00:39:51,160 --> 00:39:54,080
Speaker 9: knew it would look like this. And so I think,

722
00:39:54,160 --> 00:39:57,239
Speaker 9: you know, stipulating that we can even do this with

723
00:39:56,960 --> 00:40:00,480
Speaker 9: the military plan that we're considering that the we can't

724
00:40:00,520 --> 00:40:04,200
Speaker 9: even we can even decapitate the regime, what do you

725
00:40:04,280 --> 00:40:06,879
Speaker 9: replace it? And I mean there's there's all these sort

726
00:40:06,880 --> 00:40:11,040
Speaker 9: of goofy uh sort of proposals, uh, principally anchored around

727
00:40:11,040 --> 00:40:13,560
Speaker 9: the race of Palavii's person that sort of stopped.

728
00:40:14,080 --> 00:40:18,080
Speaker 1: Hey boy, the monarchist thing's a joke. You know, they

729
00:40:18,080 --> 00:40:20,319
Speaker 1: had one hundred thousand people meeting.

730
00:40:20,560 --> 00:40:23,839
Speaker 9: Is the leading candidate. And I seriously, I don't mean

731
00:40:23,840 --> 00:40:25,319
Speaker 9: to float this, and I'm not rooting for this, but

732
00:40:25,360 --> 00:40:28,359
Speaker 9: if he goes to Iran and he is murdered in

733
00:40:28,440 --> 00:40:30,719
Speaker 9: like ten days, when he says I'm here, that I'm

734
00:40:30,760 --> 00:40:32,359
Speaker 9: the king, what is the US plan?

735
00:40:32,480 --> 00:40:36,080
Speaker 1: Then the shaw the shaw? Okay, hangover second, we're gonna

736
00:40:36,120 --> 00:40:39,080
Speaker 1: drill down on this for a minute. On the other side,

737
00:40:40,440 --> 00:40:43,720
Speaker 1: the strategic President Trump, is he gonna roll the iron

738
00:40:43,880 --> 00:40:49,000
Speaker 1: dice of war find out protectionally in the next couple

739
00:40:49,040 --> 00:40:50,560
Speaker 1: of days. Burt Mills on the other.

00:42:05,520 --> 00:42:07,440
Speaker 1: a minute or two. First of all, I want to

762
00:42:07,480 --> 00:42:09,680
Speaker 1: here's what I want to immerse, the war impossing everything.

763
00:42:09,719 --> 00:42:11,360
Speaker 1: You're great. I want to give your site against it.

764
00:42:11,640 --> 00:42:14,759
Speaker 1: But if you had to recommend the guys who do

765
00:42:14,840 --> 00:42:17,000

00:42:21,640 --> 00:42:26,400
Speaker 1: the information possible, because if something happens here, even in negotiation,

769
00:42:26,520 --> 00:42:31,360
Speaker 1: this is going to have massive geopolitical impact and impact

770
00:42:31,360 --> 00:42:34,200
Speaker 1: politically here domestically. So what would be the who would

771
00:42:34,200 --> 00:42:37,680
Speaker 1: you recommend to give the the alternative to Kurt Merle

772
00:42:37,800 --> 00:42:39,680
Speaker 1: Mills's theory of the case.

773
00:42:40,360 --> 00:42:42,520
Speaker 9: Well, I think you in that case, we should flag

774
00:42:42,600 --> 00:42:44,520
Speaker 9: the people that are pretty relevant on this, and so

775
00:42:44,760 --> 00:42:48,040
Speaker 9: I would say the Foundation for Defensive Democracies, which is

776
00:42:48,160 --> 00:42:52,719
Speaker 9: big time renamed from basically a Israeli word or a

777
00:42:52,719 --> 00:42:57,840
Speaker 9: Hebrew word because it is basically not declared and Israeli

778
00:42:57,920 --> 00:43:04,200
Speaker 9: pr shop and they are are driving the push for war.

779
00:43:04,960 --> 00:43:07,280
Speaker 9: This is a group of people who were chock full,

780
00:43:07,600 --> 00:43:11,040
Speaker 9: frankly of never Trumper's, people who signed the never Trump

781
00:43:11,120 --> 00:43:14,959
Speaker 9: letters frankly, and people who did not support Trump's rise

782
00:43:14,960 --> 00:43:17,640
Speaker 9: in the Republican Party in twenty fifteen twenty sixteen, did

783
00:43:17,680 --> 00:43:21,000
Speaker 9: not support him for election against Philly Clinton, and we're not,

784
00:43:21,160 --> 00:43:23,880
Speaker 9: you know, particularly helpful in twenty twenty I would flag,

785
00:43:24,560 --> 00:43:27,600
Speaker 9: But they have been instrumental in writing a lot of

786
00:43:27,640 --> 00:43:31,960
Speaker 9: Trump's iron policy in term one, and they are I think,

787
00:43:32,719 --> 00:43:35,560
Speaker 9: although they're not as represented in this administration, they are

788
00:43:35,600 --> 00:43:38,040
Speaker 9: blowing the horn for war in terms.

789
00:43:38,480 --> 00:43:40,719
Speaker 1: So FDD we know those guys well, and you you

790
00:43:40,760 --> 00:43:44,480
Speaker 1: get TROTL turns. If you wanted to go somewhere to

791
00:43:44,640 --> 00:43:48,600
Speaker 1: get just information about the neo con case without maybe

792
00:43:48,600 --> 00:43:51,520
Speaker 1: the partisan push, where would you so FDD would be one?

793
00:43:52,520 --> 00:43:54,719
Speaker 1: Where would they? Is there any kind of you would

794
00:43:54,760 --> 00:43:58,440
Speaker 1: recommend middle of the road neocon that you could go

795
00:43:58,480 --> 00:44:00,360
Speaker 1: and just get information because I want I want to

796
00:44:00,440 --> 00:44:03,520
Speaker 1: we want to immerse people in both the military, tact

797
00:44:03,719 --> 00:44:04,640
Speaker 1: all of it. Where they go.

798
00:44:05,320 --> 00:44:08,279
Speaker 9: The Journal's hard reporting is fine, you know so, I mean,

799
00:44:08,320 --> 00:44:10,880
Speaker 9: I think the editorial board exists for the humor of

800
00:44:10,920 --> 00:44:14,000
Speaker 9: one man, Rupert Murdoch, and so they're very similar to

801
00:44:14,120 --> 00:44:16,680
Speaker 9: fd D and in their flavor. But W S J

802
00:44:17,080 --> 00:44:18,640
Speaker 9: is you know that the tone of it is is

803
00:44:18,680 --> 00:44:21,719
Speaker 9: more hawkish than my cup of Tea by W. W.

804
00:44:21,719 --> 00:44:24,040
Speaker 9: Wall Street Journal is hard reporting. Gonna run is excellent

805
00:44:24,760 --> 00:44:27,000
Speaker 9: and I recommend reading. It's highly plugged in and it's

806
00:44:27,040 --> 00:44:27,720
Speaker 9: highly accurate.

807
00:44:28,160 --> 00:44:30,120
Speaker 1: Okay, where do they go for you. I want to

808
00:44:30,160 --> 00:44:33,239
Speaker 1: go to the newspaper, the magazine, and the in your

809
00:44:33,520 --> 00:44:34,480
Speaker 1: social media.

810
00:44:35,200 --> 00:44:37,800
Speaker 9: Sure, we are the American Conservative. We are at the

811
00:44:37,840 --> 00:44:41,040
