They didn't get the message 4 00:00:23,040 --> 00:00:24,160 Speaker 1: about regime change. 5 00:00:24,160 --> 00:00:29,640 Speaker 2: Apparently, Yes, and a new leader with the same name and. 6 00:00:30,920 --> 00:00:33,560 Speaker 3: A mid warnings he will suffer the same fate. 7 00:00:33,800 --> 00:00:37,240 Speaker 1: Robes a week ago with the war started and we 8 00:00:37,240 --> 00:00:41,880 Speaker 1: were at war against Iran and it's supreme leader Ayatola Hamine. 9 00:00:42,720 --> 00:00:44,440 Speaker 1: A week and a half later, we're at war with 10 00:00:44,440 --> 00:00:51,640 Speaker 1: Iran and Supreme Leader Hamine. What's happening now? Younger so 11 00:00:51,680 --> 00:00:55,120 Speaker 1: thirty years the junior of his dad. Yes, folks, After 12 00:00:55,280 --> 00:00:59,440 Speaker 1: all that, it seems bizarre, quite frankly, that here we are, 13 00:00:59,600 --> 00:01:03,560 Speaker 1: we can into this war where yes, regime change was 14 00:01:04,600 --> 00:01:08,520 Speaker 1: said as a goal initially, that the regime robes, according 15 00:01:08,560 --> 00:01:13,480 Speaker 1: to this selection is intact, and it almost sends a 16 00:01:13,480 --> 00:01:17,520 Speaker 1: message to the US and Israel. Yeah, we're going about 17 00:01:17,560 --> 00:01:18,759 Speaker 1: our business as usual. 18 00:01:18,840 --> 00:01:22,080 Speaker 2: Oh yeah, this is defiance with a capital D. They 19 00:01:22,400 --> 00:01:28,039 Speaker 2: obviously have heard the warnings. They are obviously dealing with 20 00:01:28,800 --> 00:01:34,319 Speaker 2: a steady barrage of incoming missiles and attacks, and yet 21 00:01:34,400 --> 00:01:38,440 Speaker 2: they are still saying we're gonna do things our way, My. 22 00:01:38,360 --> 00:01:41,840 Speaker 1: Goodness, this is this is wild. So folks, well, yes, 23 00:01:41,880 --> 00:01:43,560 Speaker 1: we'll take you back. We're going to give you the 24 00:01:43,560 --> 00:01:45,960 Speaker 1: president's words and what he has said about regime change. 25 00:01:45,959 --> 00:01:50,000 Speaker 1: But we are getting word, yes, today, that this assembly 26 00:01:50,080 --> 00:01:55,320 Speaker 1: of experts, this group of clerics, has selected now as 27 00:01:55,360 --> 00:02:01,280 Speaker 1: the next Supreme leader of iran Ayatola most Hamane, who 28 00:02:01,400 --> 00:02:06,320 Speaker 1: is Robes, as you said, the son of the previous Iatola, 29 00:02:06,400 --> 00:02:09,880 Speaker 1: the previous supreme leader. And Robes again, what does the 30 00:02:10,000 --> 00:02:13,160 Speaker 1: United States? What does Israel do? Now? They have clearly 31 00:02:13,240 --> 00:02:16,000 Speaker 1: sent a signal that you can bomb the hell out 32 00:02:16,000 --> 00:02:18,160 Speaker 1: of this place. The regime main changes. 33 00:02:18,240 --> 00:02:19,480 Speaker 3: Yeah, we're gonna stay the same. 34 00:02:19,560 --> 00:02:22,800 Speaker 2: We're going to have our way of life, whether you 35 00:02:22,960 --> 00:02:25,320 Speaker 2: like it or not, and we will rebuild again and 36 00:02:25,360 --> 00:02:29,040 Speaker 2: will continue to do business as usual the way we've. 37 00:02:28,840 --> 00:02:31,520 Speaker 3: Been doing it. And this is a man that a 38 00:02:31,560 --> 00:02:33,079 Speaker 3: lot isn't known about him. 39 00:02:33,200 --> 00:02:36,080 Speaker 2: He's been described as being in the shadows of his 40 00:02:36,360 --> 00:02:40,880 Speaker 2: father's leadership, but certainly he by all accounts, has been 41 00:02:40,919 --> 00:02:44,119 Speaker 2: the guy who has been in charge of coordinating the military, 42 00:02:44,919 --> 00:02:49,240 Speaker 2: coordinating the intelligence operations. So he is deeply entrenched with 43 00:02:49,280 --> 00:02:52,800 Speaker 2: the Islamic Revolutionary Guard. He knows this country, how it 44 00:02:52,880 --> 00:02:55,800 Speaker 2: works inside and out. He has been by his father's 45 00:02:55,840 --> 00:02:56,840 Speaker 2: side throughout it all. 46 00:02:56,919 --> 00:03:00,079 Speaker 1: He's been groomed. He has watched this job happy. And 47 00:03:00,360 --> 00:03:03,560 Speaker 1: very important thing that you mentioned, Robes, this guy, as 48 00:03:03,560 --> 00:03:05,840 Speaker 1: a supreme leader is in charge of everything. It's not 49 00:03:05,880 --> 00:03:08,320 Speaker 1: really a concept we understand here. We got a separation 50 00:03:08,919 --> 00:03:11,400 Speaker 1: of powers and church and state and all kinds of up. No, no, no, 51 00:03:11,440 --> 00:03:15,000 Speaker 1: he is everything there. But a very important note, Robes, 52 00:03:15,440 --> 00:03:18,480 Speaker 1: is that he has the backing of the Revolutionary Guards. 53 00:03:18,480 --> 00:03:21,800 Speaker 1: There are very powerful military forces within that country. He 54 00:03:21,960 --> 00:03:25,440 Speaker 1: served in the Revolutionary Guard. They put out statements in 55 00:03:25,520 --> 00:03:28,520 Speaker 1: support of him, pledging allegiance, i should say, is the 56 00:03:28,560 --> 00:03:30,919 Speaker 1: way they put it, en Robed. It's a big deal 57 00:03:31,680 --> 00:03:34,920 Speaker 1: that he is a guy that the military is like, hell, yeah, 58 00:03:35,040 --> 00:03:35,880 Speaker 1: we'll get behind him. 59 00:03:35,960 --> 00:03:36,160 Speaker 3: Yeah. 60 00:03:36,160 --> 00:03:39,640 Speaker 2: And you think about what President Trump said to the 61 00:03:39,640 --> 00:03:45,320 Speaker 2: Iranians as we began bombing them and sending missiles into 62 00:03:45,360 --> 00:03:48,120 Speaker 2: their country. He said to the people of Iran, this 63 00:03:48,240 --> 00:03:52,240 Speaker 2: is your chance, stand up, take your country back. He 64 00:03:52,280 --> 00:03:55,320 Speaker 2: was encouraging all of those protesters that we saw that 65 00:03:56,360 --> 00:03:57,680 Speaker 2: Hamone's father. 66 00:03:57,680 --> 00:04:00,800 Speaker 3: Crushed and killed and imprisoned. 67 00:04:01,360 --> 00:04:04,640 Speaker 2: Now are you going to feel comfortable rising up and 68 00:04:04,680 --> 00:04:08,480 Speaker 2: taking your country back when hamone's very own son, who 69 00:04:08,600 --> 00:04:10,560 Speaker 2: has been in charge of the country, who has watched 70 00:04:10,880 --> 00:04:14,080 Speaker 2: all of this happened over the past months, are you 71 00:04:14,120 --> 00:04:17,440 Speaker 2: going to feel comfortable rising up the answers. 72 00:04:17,520 --> 00:04:20,200 Speaker 1: No, they've been showing those pictures to your point, and 73 00:04:20,640 --> 00:04:23,840 Speaker 1: it's hard to get good, reliable information out of there. 74 00:04:23,839 --> 00:04:26,320 Speaker 1: They've shut down communications in large part. But we have 75 00:04:26,480 --> 00:04:29,599 Speaker 1: seen in the streets there were some people celebrating the 76 00:04:29,680 --> 00:04:33,840 Speaker 1: death of the former Ayatola, but then you also had 77 00:04:34,080 --> 00:04:37,520 Speaker 1: some folks upset and crying and mourning in the streets. 78 00:04:38,040 --> 00:04:41,000 Speaker 1: Some of that deemed propaganda, but some of those real 79 00:04:41,040 --> 00:04:43,560 Speaker 1: sentiments are there and around the world for what the 80 00:04:43,680 --> 00:04:45,680 Speaker 1: United States and Israel did and taking out this guy 81 00:04:45,760 --> 00:04:48,680 Speaker 1: so he is now in place. In Robes, there have 82 00:04:48,800 --> 00:04:53,479 Speaker 1: been some celebrations that are in support of this guy. Yes, 83 00:04:53,600 --> 00:04:56,960 Speaker 1: you still will see people upset about the regime, but Robes, 84 00:04:57,000 --> 00:05:00,840 Speaker 1: it feels like, what's happening now? When do we They 85 00:05:00,839 --> 00:05:03,360 Speaker 1: gave us four objectives the United States for this war. 86 00:05:03,960 --> 00:05:06,960 Speaker 1: On that list was not regime change, but they've been 87 00:05:07,000 --> 00:05:09,960 Speaker 1: saying it out loud. What do you do though, Rod? 88 00:05:10,000 --> 00:05:11,719 Speaker 1: Where was the press conference we watched and I said, 89 00:05:11,720 --> 00:05:13,919 Speaker 1: that was the most important question I've heard throughout this 90 00:05:14,000 --> 00:05:17,000 Speaker 1: whole thing. If you reach every one of your objectives 91 00:05:17,680 --> 00:05:20,880 Speaker 1: and the regime hasn't changed, then what correct? 92 00:05:20,920 --> 00:05:24,000 Speaker 2: Because if the whole point is to stop Iran from 93 00:05:24,400 --> 00:05:29,799 Speaker 2: trying to continue to amass enough of what they need 94 00:05:31,400 --> 00:05:35,120 Speaker 2: uranium enriched material to create this nuclear bomb, where these 95 00:05:35,320 --> 00:05:38,520 Speaker 2: long range missiles that could reach further into Europe, perhaps 96 00:05:38,640 --> 00:05:41,080 Speaker 2: even here to America. According to President Trump, that that 97 00:05:41,200 --> 00:05:44,479 Speaker 2: was in the works. How if you have the son 98 00:05:44,880 --> 00:05:48,800 Speaker 2: of the former Supreme Leader now at the helm, even if, yes, 99 00:05:49,200 --> 00:05:52,359 Speaker 2: you achieve all of your objectives, why wouldn't he just 100 00:05:52,440 --> 00:05:56,680 Speaker 2: continue his father's mission, continue what his father started. That 101 00:05:56,760 --> 00:05:59,040 Speaker 2: would be the idea. So what would be the whole 102 00:05:59,080 --> 00:06:00,839 Speaker 2: point of this. 103 00:06:00,800 --> 00:06:05,159 Speaker 1: War unless you change the regime. Let's go back to 104 00:06:05,200 --> 00:06:10,039 Speaker 1: President Trump. These were his words on night one. He 105 00:06:10,080 --> 00:06:12,119 Speaker 1: made a speech you a member, was a recorded speech. 106 00:06:12,160 --> 00:06:14,080 Speaker 1: He was standing there by himself. He had this is 107 00:06:14,080 --> 00:06:15,279 Speaker 1: the one he had the hat on. I think that 108 00:06:15,320 --> 00:06:19,080 Speaker 1: said USA. But he gave that. He gave at the 109 00:06:19,240 --> 00:06:22,320 Speaker 1: end of his explanation for why We're going to war, 110 00:06:22,360 --> 00:06:26,520 Speaker 1: he had a message directly for the people of Iran. 111 00:06:26,560 --> 00:06:28,320 Speaker 1: In robes there's no mincing words here. 112 00:06:28,360 --> 00:06:31,080 Speaker 2: This is about regime, James correct, He says, finally, to 113 00:06:31,160 --> 00:06:34,560 Speaker 2: the great, proud people of Iran, I say tonight that 114 00:06:34,640 --> 00:06:38,200 Speaker 2: the hour of your freedom is at hand. Stay sheltered, 115 00:06:38,360 --> 00:06:41,440 Speaker 2: don't leave your home. It's very dangerous outside. Bombs will 116 00:06:41,440 --> 00:06:45,640 Speaker 2: be dropping everywhere. When we are finished take your government, 117 00:06:46,000 --> 00:06:49,080 Speaker 2: it will be yours to take. This will be probably 118 00:06:49,120 --> 00:06:52,240 Speaker 2: your only chance for generations. For many years you have 119 00:06:52,320 --> 00:06:54,560 Speaker 2: asked for America's help, but you never got it. No 120 00:06:54,680 --> 00:06:56,760 Speaker 2: president was willing to do what I am willing to 121 00:06:56,760 --> 00:06:59,400 Speaker 2: do tonight. Now you have a president who is giving 122 00:06:59,400 --> 00:07:02,160 Speaker 2: you what you want. So let's see how you respond. 123 00:07:02,480 --> 00:07:06,279 Speaker 2: America is backing you with overwhelming strength and devastating force. 124 00:07:06,720 --> 00:07:09,560 Speaker 2: Now is the time to seize control of your destiny 125 00:07:09,800 --> 00:07:13,400 Speaker 2: and to unleash the prosperous and glorious future that is 126 00:07:13,520 --> 00:07:16,440 Speaker 2: close within your reach. This is the moment for action. 127 00:07:17,360 --> 00:07:19,080 Speaker 2: Do not let it pass. 128 00:07:19,440 --> 00:07:23,400 Speaker 1: So far, we haven't seen an indication that the folks 129 00:07:23,400 --> 00:07:25,840 Speaker 1: of Iran in mass are taking him up on that offer. 130 00:07:26,120 --> 00:07:26,560 Speaker 1: Not yet. 131 00:07:27,280 --> 00:07:29,560 Speaker 3: No, we haven't said look and look. The bombs are 132 00:07:29,640 --> 00:07:30,240 Speaker 3: still dropping. 133 00:07:30,320 --> 00:07:32,680 Speaker 2: It is still wildly unsafe to be out in the 134 00:07:32,720 --> 00:07:36,200 Speaker 2: streets of Iran. The question remains, though, what happens when 135 00:07:36,240 --> 00:07:40,640 Speaker 2: the dust does settle? And now with Halmone at the helm, 136 00:07:40,920 --> 00:07:45,160 Speaker 2: his own son, it doesn't seem like anything would change 137 00:07:45,320 --> 00:07:48,480 Speaker 2: unless that changes. And that is what the promise has 138 00:07:48,520 --> 00:07:52,400 Speaker 2: been from President Trump and from Israel. If a leader 139 00:07:52,480 --> 00:07:55,480 Speaker 2: was chosen who was unacceptable to them, Trumpsai he wanted 140 00:07:55,520 --> 00:07:58,120 Speaker 2: to be a part of the decision. 141 00:08:00,000 --> 00:08:03,840 Speaker 1: So the line was, if we aren't involved in picking 142 00:08:03,960 --> 00:08:07,440 Speaker 1: the next leader, he probably won't last long. Is the 143 00:08:07,440 --> 00:08:10,280 Speaker 1: line that he used. That's a direct threat. 144 00:08:10,080 --> 00:08:11,160 Speaker 3: He will not last long. 145 00:08:11,320 --> 00:08:15,800 Speaker 1: How Robes, could we imagine that the new Haminae who 146 00:08:15,840 --> 00:08:18,680 Speaker 1: was now only the third Ayahtola, that they've had the 147 00:08:18,760 --> 00:08:21,520 Speaker 1: third supreme leader in their history since nineteen seventy nine 148 00:08:21,520 --> 00:08:24,680 Speaker 1: of the Islamic Revolution. But Rodes, how is this guy? 149 00:08:24,720 --> 00:08:28,840 Speaker 1: How would you ever anticipate this guy? Now? Sure, I'll 150 00:08:28,880 --> 00:08:31,520 Speaker 1: sit down and talk with the United States. Sure, let's 151 00:08:31,520 --> 00:08:34,160 Speaker 1: sit down and work something out after you all just 152 00:08:34,280 --> 00:08:37,079 Speaker 1: bomb my country, kill my dad, kill my mom, kill 153 00:08:37,160 --> 00:08:38,760 Speaker 1: my wife, kill my family. 154 00:08:38,679 --> 00:08:41,280 Speaker 3: Is killed my son? Really? Yeah? 155 00:08:41,600 --> 00:08:43,160 Speaker 1: Is he willing to sit down right now? 156 00:08:43,360 --> 00:08:43,600 Speaker 3: Yeah? 157 00:08:43,600 --> 00:08:45,720 Speaker 2: Well I read that too, and I thought, my goodness, 158 00:08:45,920 --> 00:08:49,040 Speaker 2: just get your head around that yes, his country is 159 00:08:49,080 --> 00:08:50,240 Speaker 2: in ruin. 160 00:08:50,040 --> 00:08:52,080 Speaker 3: Right now, in rubble in, a lot of it. But 161 00:08:52,440 --> 00:08:53,840 Speaker 3: to imagine losing. 162 00:08:53,640 --> 00:08:58,120 Speaker 2: Your father, your mother, your wife, and a son, all 163 00:08:58,160 --> 00:09:00,080 Speaker 2: at the hands of the United States and Israel, well, 164 00:09:00,679 --> 00:09:02,080 Speaker 2: that is. 165 00:09:03,440 --> 00:09:04,240 Speaker 3: I can't even get my. 166 00:09:04,240 --> 00:09:08,080 Speaker 2: Head around the anger, the emotion, how you would feel, 167 00:09:08,559 --> 00:09:11,760 Speaker 2: just on a personal level, forget your country, forget the 168 00:09:11,920 --> 00:09:15,080 Speaker 2: pride and all of that. This is so deeply personal 169 00:09:15,120 --> 00:09:17,400 Speaker 2: for him right now. There is no way in hell 170 00:09:17,840 --> 00:09:19,280 Speaker 2: he is laying down his arms. 171 00:09:20,040 --> 00:09:23,280 Speaker 3: What would you like me to do? United States? Israel? 172 00:09:23,600 --> 00:09:25,880 Speaker 2: How do you think we should run our country? That 173 00:09:26,080 --> 00:09:28,160 Speaker 2: absolutely is beyond far fetched. 174 00:09:28,520 --> 00:09:32,160 Speaker 1: It's far fetched, and Israel has flat out said it 175 00:09:32,360 --> 00:09:35,920 Speaker 1: ain't going to happen. Yes, we've gotten some tough words 176 00:09:35,960 --> 00:09:40,240 Speaker 1: from President Trump, from Secretary Hegsath, but Israel stay here 177 00:09:40,360 --> 00:09:53,200 Speaker 1: find out why they ain't messing around. We continue here 178 00:09:53,240 --> 00:09:56,800 Speaker 1: on this Monday, March ninth, on this day, just over 179 00:09:56,880 --> 00:09:59,320 Speaker 1: a week after the Iran War started, just a week 180 00:09:59,400 --> 00:10:01,640 Speaker 1: after Supreme leader there was killed. They have a new 181 00:10:01,640 --> 00:10:07,560 Speaker 1: Supreme leader and well it's a Hamine junior. It is 182 00:10:07,640 --> 00:10:11,760 Speaker 1: the son of the Supreme leader, same name, same family, 183 00:10:12,160 --> 00:10:13,800 Speaker 1: and a lot of people will tell you the same 184 00:10:13,880 --> 00:10:19,200 Speaker 1: mindset and the same same brutal regime is continuing right now. 185 00:10:19,559 --> 00:10:22,439 Speaker 1: Trump said this is a no go, right, yes, afterward 186 00:10:22,480 --> 00:10:24,839 Speaker 1: they sit. When the name started floating around, and I 187 00:10:24,840 --> 00:10:26,839 Speaker 1: guess it's been several days he's been seen as the 188 00:10:26,840 --> 00:10:30,880 Speaker 1: front runner, but the President flat out came out and said, no, 189 00:10:31,240 --> 00:10:32,320 Speaker 1: that's no good. 190 00:10:32,400 --> 00:10:34,680 Speaker 2: Yeah, he's been He was asked specifically if his son 191 00:10:34,800 --> 00:10:36,839 Speaker 2: were to be named the new Supreme leader, how that 192 00:10:36,880 --> 00:10:39,360 Speaker 2: would go down, And yes, he has said he won't 193 00:10:39,400 --> 00:10:41,720 Speaker 2: last long period, end of story. 194 00:10:41,920 --> 00:10:44,760 Speaker 3: And look, there will most certainly be a part of. 195 00:10:46,160 --> 00:10:49,120 Speaker 2: Iran that will be upset about this decision because this 196 00:10:49,360 --> 00:10:51,760 Speaker 2: just means more of the same everything they've been through, 197 00:10:52,040 --> 00:10:55,280 Speaker 2: the protests that were happening, the fact that American Israel 198 00:10:55,360 --> 00:10:58,679 Speaker 2: came in and was telling the people, hey, you're now 199 00:10:58,679 --> 00:11:00,320 Speaker 2: going to get your chance of freedom, You're now going 200 00:11:00,360 --> 00:11:03,120 Speaker 2: to get your chance at figuring out who you want 201 00:11:03,160 --> 00:11:06,760 Speaker 2: to run this country. That all was completely shut down 202 00:11:07,200 --> 00:11:10,720 Speaker 2: when Iran just now voted to bring his son in 203 00:11:10,960 --> 00:11:11,560 Speaker 2: as leader. 204 00:11:11,640 --> 00:11:14,600 Speaker 3: This is the man who I believe they say. 205 00:11:14,480 --> 00:11:17,760 Speaker 2: At least the number was around seven thousand folks were 206 00:11:17,880 --> 00:11:22,880 Speaker 2: just killed recently for rising up for protesting against this regime, 207 00:11:22,920 --> 00:11:25,119 Speaker 2: and now you've got more of the same. 208 00:11:26,480 --> 00:11:28,120 Speaker 3: Right now, in the midst of this war. 209 00:11:28,440 --> 00:11:31,280 Speaker 1: It's something about more of the same in the regime continuing. 210 00:11:31,320 --> 00:11:36,440 Speaker 1: We kind of maybe expected that there was something about, oh, 211 00:11:36,559 --> 00:11:40,240 Speaker 1: the same family, the same name. Even there was something 212 00:11:40,280 --> 00:11:43,520 Speaker 1: about that that made clear that it seems like Iran 213 00:11:43,679 --> 00:11:47,120 Speaker 1: is like, like you said, poking, like it seemed like 214 00:11:47,160 --> 00:11:51,079 Speaker 1: an intentional dig at Israel in the United States. Not 215 00:11:51,120 --> 00:11:54,000 Speaker 1: only is the regime continuing, We're gonna pick the son 216 00:11:54,320 --> 00:11:55,679 Speaker 1: of the guy you just killed. 217 00:11:55,920 --> 00:11:59,600 Speaker 2: My goodness, and the son of the guy that you 218 00:11:59,760 --> 00:12:02,679 Speaker 2: just called you also killed pretty much every member of 219 00:12:02,720 --> 00:12:03,079 Speaker 2: his family. 220 00:12:03,120 --> 00:12:05,600 Speaker 1: Why out his family? Now he is the one in charge. 221 00:12:05,640 --> 00:12:07,840 Speaker 1: We talk about vengeance. We've been talking about vengeance on 222 00:12:07,880 --> 00:12:10,880 Speaker 1: our side, right We're going to avenge the deaths of 223 00:12:10,920 --> 00:12:14,280 Speaker 1: American avenge things that they've done to us in the past. 224 00:12:14,440 --> 00:12:17,680 Speaker 1: But ropes, I mean, how Hamonae he's had this job 225 00:12:17,760 --> 00:12:20,240 Speaker 1: not twenty four hours? The new guy, how long is 226 00:12:20,280 --> 00:12:20,800 Speaker 1: he going to happen? 227 00:12:20,840 --> 00:12:23,320 Speaker 2: See that's and that just means how long is he 228 00:12:23,400 --> 00:12:25,360 Speaker 2: going to live? How long is he going to survive? 229 00:12:25,480 --> 00:12:27,760 Speaker 2: He won't be ousted from power, he will be killed 230 00:12:27,800 --> 00:12:31,160 Speaker 2: and targeted, and you know that I can't even imagine 231 00:12:31,240 --> 00:12:33,600 Speaker 2: being him. I guess at this point, if you've lost 232 00:12:33,640 --> 00:12:37,600 Speaker 2: pretty much most everyone you love, you might have nothing 233 00:12:37,600 --> 00:12:41,199 Speaker 2: to lose. So it's it's it's frightening to think what 234 00:12:41,240 --> 00:12:43,680 Speaker 2: he might be willing to do or what he's capable of, 235 00:12:43,760 --> 00:12:45,959 Speaker 2: because he truly has nothing to lose at this point. 236 00:12:46,000 --> 00:12:48,840 Speaker 1: And it is fascinating how they are able to function, 237 00:12:49,000 --> 00:12:51,720 Speaker 1: how they are able to stay alive right now and 238 00:12:51,720 --> 00:12:55,040 Speaker 1: for how long. But it's mean Israel, even before I 239 00:12:55,040 --> 00:12:58,920 Speaker 1: think the Sun's name started being floated around, they flat 240 00:12:58,960 --> 00:13:01,360 Speaker 1: out gable warning to anybody who wanted this job. And 241 00:13:01,440 --> 00:13:04,280 Speaker 1: I said, Robes that you look at the job description, 242 00:13:04,400 --> 00:13:08,800 Speaker 1: who wants that gig? When Israel is saying whoever gets 243 00:13:08,840 --> 00:13:12,559 Speaker 1: this gig, good luck, they thought out said whoever gets 244 00:13:12,600 --> 00:13:16,480 Speaker 1: the job is immediately going to be a target for 245 00:13:16,559 --> 00:13:19,600 Speaker 1: being taken out. They said, that is their stands going 246 00:13:19,640 --> 00:13:22,199 Speaker 1: to change. I haven't seen anything this morning that they've 247 00:13:22,200 --> 00:13:24,600 Speaker 1: evolved from that, thinking, Oh, I. 248 00:13:25,040 --> 00:13:28,760 Speaker 2: Would only imagine this is going to That was rhetoric perhaps, 249 00:13:28,880 --> 00:13:30,959 Speaker 2: or that was a threat perhaps at one point. 250 00:13:31,000 --> 00:13:33,000 Speaker 3: Now they actually have to follow through on that threat. 251 00:13:33,200 --> 00:13:35,120 Speaker 2: And I will say We've said this plenty of times 252 00:13:35,200 --> 00:13:37,720 Speaker 2: when President Trump, and we've even heard Carolyn Levin say this, 253 00:13:37,920 --> 00:13:40,840 Speaker 2: when President Trump says he's going to do something, believe him. 254 00:13:41,280 --> 00:13:43,960 Speaker 2: And so they have made it very clear how they 255 00:13:44,040 --> 00:13:47,200 Speaker 2: feel about this. Just last week, in fact, President Trump 256 00:13:47,240 --> 00:13:50,040 Speaker 2: was saying so many of the leaders had been killed 257 00:13:50,040 --> 00:13:52,440 Speaker 2: in Iran. They were saying dozens and dozens of these 258 00:13:52,480 --> 00:13:55,080 Speaker 2: religious leaders were all killed. He said, pretty soon, we're 259 00:13:55,120 --> 00:13:57,320 Speaker 2: not going to know anybody, because they're all going to 260 00:13:57,320 --> 00:14:00,720 Speaker 2: be gone. But they asked him, the press specif asked 261 00:14:00,760 --> 00:14:03,880 Speaker 2: President Trump about a worst case scenario in Iran? 262 00:14:03,960 --> 00:14:04,880 Speaker 3: Had he prepared for it? 263 00:14:04,920 --> 00:14:06,720 Speaker 2: And he said, I guess the worst case would be 264 00:14:07,280 --> 00:14:10,040 Speaker 2: we do this and somebody takes over who's as bad 265 00:14:10,080 --> 00:14:13,000 Speaker 2: as the previous person. Right, that could happen. We don't 266 00:14:13,040 --> 00:14:16,080 Speaker 2: want that to happen. He literally said that, what, So now, 267 00:14:16,160 --> 00:14:18,040 Speaker 2: what do we do? So now it's worst case scenario. 268 00:14:18,160 --> 00:14:22,440 Speaker 1: Now things have been changing, the reasons the justification has 269 00:14:22,480 --> 00:14:27,520 Speaker 1: been changing regime is it no pete hexas specifically, this 270 00:14:27,680 --> 00:14:31,120 Speaker 1: is not a regime change war. Marco Rubio is saying 271 00:14:31,120 --> 00:14:33,840 Speaker 1: one other thing the president has been changing. So it's 272 00:14:33,920 --> 00:14:36,840 Speaker 1: just not clear. And Robes This is a big, big, 273 00:14:37,040 --> 00:14:40,200 Speaker 1: big deal that we went to war with this country 274 00:14:40,240 --> 00:14:43,640 Speaker 1: because of an imminent threat they posed as a regime, 275 00:14:44,720 --> 00:14:48,280 Speaker 1: We do all this and the regime doesn't change. Where 276 00:14:48,320 --> 00:14:49,320 Speaker 1: does that leave us with this. 277 00:14:49,320 --> 00:14:50,920 Speaker 3: War exactly where we started? 278 00:14:50,960 --> 00:14:54,840 Speaker 2: I mean, obviously, they've taken out some of their capabilities 279 00:14:54,880 --> 00:14:59,880 Speaker 2: in terms of weaponizing a lot of what we've been concerned, 280 00:15:00,360 --> 00:15:04,280 Speaker 2: and we've clearly put a massive dent in their ability 281 00:15:04,320 --> 00:15:07,720 Speaker 2: to fight back. But in just a matter of time 282 00:15:07,760 --> 00:15:10,840 Speaker 2: I mentioned time, they'll be able to rebuild. They would 283 00:15:10,880 --> 00:15:13,360 Speaker 2: be on the same path, on the same mission. And 284 00:15:13,440 --> 00:15:16,760 Speaker 2: certainly anybody who has risen up or who has even 285 00:15:16,920 --> 00:15:20,160 Speaker 2: celebrated in the streets, I'm sure they're very nervous right now. 286 00:15:21,160 --> 00:15:23,920 Speaker 1: Folks, just wanted to give you this Monday morning update. 287 00:15:23,960 --> 00:15:26,400 Speaker 1: But this is a big, big deal. This just happening 288 00:15:26,440 --> 00:15:30,120 Speaker 1: today in Iran state media there reporting that they have 289 00:15:30,280 --> 00:15:33,600 Speaker 1: in fact selected a new Supreme leader who has the 290 00:15:33,640 --> 00:15:36,080 Speaker 1: same name as the old one because it is his son. 291 00:15:36,200 --> 00:15:40,800 Speaker 1: Fifty six year old Ayatola mosh Tapa Hamane is now 292 00:15:40,840 --> 00:15:43,760 Speaker 1: the new Supreme leader. How will Israel and the United 293 00:15:43,800 --> 00:15:45,840 Speaker 1: States react?
