1
00:00:00,040 --> 00:00:01,319
Speaker 1: Thanks to all of you for being one of us.

2
00:00:01,360 --> 00:00:04,920
Speaker 1: Right down are toll free telephone number if you'd like

3
00:00:05,040 --> 00:00:08,520
Speaker 1: to be a part of this extravaganza, it's eight hundred

4
00:00:08,560 --> 00:00:10,840
Speaker 1: and ninety four one Sean if you want to join us.

5
00:00:12,400 --> 00:00:16,200
Speaker 1: There is now as we head into what is a

6
00:00:16,400 --> 00:00:20,440
Speaker 1: difficult and all our prayers and hopes are with American troops.

7
00:00:21,200 --> 00:00:25,919
Speaker 1: The President the Secretary of State have both indicated in

8
00:00:26,000 --> 00:00:29,440
Speaker 1: great detail. And I know that there are people that

9
00:00:29,480 --> 00:00:31,520
Speaker 1: don't want to believe a thing that Donald Trump says.

10
00:00:32,520 --> 00:00:36,040
Speaker 1: You have, you have various factions out there. They're they're loud,

11
00:00:36,120 --> 00:00:40,559
Speaker 1: but they're not the majority of President Trump's supporters. You know,

12
00:00:40,640 --> 00:00:45,440
Speaker 1: some eighty five percent on average MAGA voters support the

13
00:00:45,440 --> 00:00:49,000
Speaker 1: president his actions in Iran. I think people that are

14
00:00:49,360 --> 00:00:52,919
Speaker 1: educated as to the real circumstances as to why the

15
00:00:52,960 --> 00:00:56,960
Speaker 1: President made this decision, uh and and that being more

16
00:00:57,040 --> 00:01:01,440
Speaker 1: importantly that Iran cannot have a nuclear weapon, are more

17
00:01:01,480 --> 00:01:05,840
Speaker 1: acutely aware than your average bird out there. And you know,

18
00:01:05,880 --> 00:01:10,800
Speaker 1: you have people that don't really care that the Iranians

19
00:01:11,280 --> 00:01:16,800
Speaker 1: were far closer to having nuclear weapons than we originally knew.

20
00:01:17,360 --> 00:01:19,959
Speaker 1: I mean this, this historically has been the case that

21
00:01:20,120 --> 00:01:26,520
Speaker 1: globalist international organizations have grossly underestimated the Iranian regimes power.

22
00:01:27,680 --> 00:01:31,600
Speaker 1: And it's just unfortunate across the board because you know,

23
00:01:31,720 --> 00:01:36,000
Speaker 1: here they have you know, sixty percent enriched uranium, as

24
00:01:36,000 --> 00:01:39,640
Speaker 1: we've been describing, that can be you know, enriched to

25
00:01:39,760 --> 00:01:42,720
Speaker 1: ninety percent weapons grade in seven to eleven days. And

26
00:01:42,760 --> 00:01:45,960
Speaker 1: then we also learned in this conflict that they had

27
00:01:46,080 --> 00:01:50,880
Speaker 1: underestimated the range of their longer ballistic missile capability, and

28
00:01:51,520 --> 00:01:55,440
Speaker 1: that now tells us that it could go to parts

29
00:01:55,440 --> 00:02:02,280
Speaker 1: of Europe like Paris and London, for example. And there

30
00:02:02,440 --> 00:02:06,360
Speaker 1: is a schism, and I'm not sure how this is

31
00:02:06,400 --> 00:02:08,480
Speaker 1: going to play out, but I have a pretty good

32
00:02:08,520 --> 00:02:12,160
Speaker 1: idea how it's going to play out, and it's not

33
00:02:12,400 --> 00:02:15,920
Speaker 1: going to be good for Europe. I have been making

34
00:02:15,960 --> 00:02:20,520
Speaker 1: the case that individually countries in Europe they are in

35
00:02:20,600 --> 00:02:25,079
Speaker 1: a precipitous decline and they have been four decades, even

36
00:02:25,120 --> 00:02:29,240
Speaker 1: some of our closest allies, and they have bought into

37
00:02:30,160 --> 00:02:34,480
Speaker 1: radical socialism, they have brought in bought into radical environmentalism.

38
00:02:34,520 --> 00:02:37,360
Speaker 1: I'll give you an example. You know, Europe's decision to

39
00:02:37,440 --> 00:02:40,880
Speaker 1: switch to green energy instead of relying on fossil fuels

40
00:02:41,520 --> 00:02:45,079
Speaker 1: is now driving their motorists straight to the poorhouse. And

41
00:02:45,280 --> 00:02:47,720
Speaker 1: I know that we're not near five dollars a gallon

42
00:02:47,800 --> 00:02:51,400
Speaker 1: like we were under Joe Biden. In America, it's about

43
00:02:51,440 --> 00:02:54,079
Speaker 1: four bucks a gallon. And this is going to be temporary.

44
00:02:54,120 --> 00:02:57,600
Speaker 1: That is my prediction. I'm more than confident that I'm

45
00:02:57,639 --> 00:03:01,440
Speaker 1: going to be proven correct. But the average driver in Europe,

46
00:03:01,480 --> 00:03:04,600
Speaker 1: they're now paying ten dollars a gallon, nine or ten

47
00:03:04,680 --> 00:03:08,920
Speaker 1: dollars a gallon for gasoline. And the reason is North

48
00:03:08,919 --> 00:03:12,920
Speaker 1: America produces almost all of its oil. In other words,

49
00:03:13,000 --> 00:03:16,040
Speaker 1: we are energy independent. You know, the whole issue of

50
00:03:16,040 --> 00:03:19,400
Speaker 1: the Strait of Hormuz has very little actually to do

51
00:03:19,520 --> 00:03:21,919
Speaker 1: with the US. It does have to do with the

52
00:03:22,000 --> 00:03:26,120
Speaker 1: free flow of oil at market prices, which is impactful

53
00:03:26,120 --> 00:03:29,200
Speaker 1: to the world. But over you know, for a decade,

54
00:03:29,280 --> 00:03:33,360
Speaker 1: fifteen or so years, nearly two decades, Europe doesn't produce

55
00:03:33,400 --> 00:03:37,080
Speaker 1: anywhere near close to what their energy needs are. And

56
00:03:37,120 --> 00:03:40,520
Speaker 1: the energy is the lifeblood of the world's economy. Anyway,

57
00:03:40,560 --> 00:03:44,280
Speaker 1: European drivers were paying nine to ten dollars a gallon

58
00:03:44,320 --> 00:03:46,320
Speaker 1: of gasoline. You go to Europe, you wonder why these

59
00:03:46,360 --> 00:03:50,040
Speaker 1: people driving around in these tiny little box cars and

60
00:03:50,320 --> 00:03:52,800
Speaker 1: that's one of the reasons they're doing it because of

61
00:03:52,840 --> 00:03:56,440
Speaker 1: the high price of energy. Now, what is the whole

62
00:03:56,520 --> 00:04:00,480
Speaker 1: purpose of the NATO alliance? What is the whole of it?

63
00:04:01,320 --> 00:04:04,720
Speaker 1: Post World War Two? You know, here here we had

64
00:04:05,520 --> 00:04:09,040
Speaker 1: you know, America standing, and it took a while for

65
00:04:09,120 --> 00:04:11,520
Speaker 1: us to get involved in that conflict. There actually were

66
00:04:12,000 --> 00:04:16,920
Speaker 1: a lot of you know, loud isolationist voices FDR. You know,

67
00:04:17,000 --> 00:04:20,240
Speaker 1: after Pearl Harbor, Winston Churchill became the guests that wouldn't

68
00:04:20,279 --> 00:04:24,120
Speaker 1: leave the White House. And we decided to enter the

69
00:04:24,120 --> 00:04:29,400
Speaker 1: theater in in Europe at a great, great toll and

70
00:04:29,480 --> 00:04:33,160
Speaker 1: a great great cost to this country and our national

71
00:04:33,200 --> 00:04:37,520
Speaker 1: treasure to fight evil in its time. As we fought back,

72
00:04:37,760 --> 00:04:40,760
Speaker 1: you know, the forces of and we were fighting, you know,

73
00:04:40,880 --> 00:04:44,680
Speaker 1: simultaneously we had the theater in the Pacific, we had

74
00:04:44,720 --> 00:04:48,000
Speaker 1: the theater in Europe. You know, look how many brave

75
00:04:48,040 --> 00:04:51,400
Speaker 1: men and women, our national treasure died slamming the beaches

76
00:04:51,400 --> 00:04:54,480
Speaker 1: of Normandy. Look at how many people died in the Pacific.

77
00:04:54,560 --> 00:04:57,800
Speaker 1: My dad served four years in the Pacific. And the

78
00:04:58,240 --> 00:05:01,960
Speaker 1: cost of freedom has been anything but free. And if

79
00:05:02,000 --> 00:05:04,960
Speaker 1: we you know, when you look at NATO, you know,

80
00:05:05,040 --> 00:05:09,800
Speaker 1: the broader US national defense spending in NATO in context,

81
00:05:09,920 --> 00:05:13,120
Speaker 1: you know, it is an organization that was designed to

82
00:05:13,240 --> 00:05:16,880
Speaker 1: prevent whatever what happened in World War Two and the

83
00:05:16,920 --> 00:05:20,880
Speaker 1: emergence of evil on the continent of Europe i e. Hitler,

84
00:05:21,080 --> 00:05:27,760
Speaker 1: Nazi Germany, i e. Mussolini fascism, the threat that was

85
00:05:27,960 --> 00:05:30,520
Speaker 1: Stalin in Russia, that started off on one side of

86
00:05:30,520 --> 00:05:32,919
Speaker 1: that conflict, ending up on our side of that conflict.

87
00:05:33,279 --> 00:05:36,080
Speaker 1: I mean, it is a kind of amazing history if

88
00:05:36,080 --> 00:05:38,960
Speaker 1: you go through it without rehashing all of the conflict

89
00:05:38,960 --> 00:05:41,960
Speaker 1: in the theater in Europe. But you know, so as

90
00:05:41,960 --> 00:05:45,400
Speaker 1: a result of that, an attack against one is an

91
00:05:45,400 --> 00:05:49,000
Speaker 1: attack against all. That's what the NATO Alliance is supposed

92
00:05:49,000 --> 00:05:54,400
Speaker 1: to be. And Okay, you could argue, well, the Iranians

93
00:05:54,560 --> 00:05:57,680
Speaker 1: didn't attack us, although they have killed many Americans over

94
00:05:57,720 --> 00:06:00,599
Speaker 1: the years, and we have talked about that at length.

95
00:06:01,120 --> 00:06:05,520
Speaker 1: But so we spend twenty twenty five NATO total defense

96
00:06:05,560 --> 00:06:11,159
Speaker 1: spending about one point six trillion dollars. Of that money

97
00:06:11,240 --> 00:06:15,160
Speaker 1: one point six trillion, we pay about sixty two percent

98
00:06:15,200 --> 00:06:18,359
Speaker 1: of it around nine hundred and eighty billion dollars depending

99
00:06:18,400 --> 00:06:22,280
Speaker 1: on the source and pricing basis. In other words, US

100
00:06:22,360 --> 00:06:26,760
Speaker 1: defense spending as a share of its own GDP was

101
00:06:26,839 --> 00:06:30,200
Speaker 1: three point two percent in twenty twenty five numbers. Remember,

102
00:06:30,760 --> 00:06:34,440
Speaker 1: Europe wasn't even paying its share fair share of two percent.

103
00:06:35,720 --> 00:06:38,840
Speaker 1: But Europe is a continent and individual countries have been

104
00:06:38,880 --> 00:06:41,440
Speaker 1: in a precipitous decline. They've been in a decline for

105
00:06:41,480 --> 00:06:44,320
Speaker 1: a lot of different reasons, and one has to wonder,

106
00:06:44,480 --> 00:06:48,120
Speaker 1: you know, if it's just all combined contributing factors altogether.

107
00:06:48,240 --> 00:06:50,960
Speaker 1: But Europe as a continent has been in a decline.

108
00:06:50,960 --> 00:06:56,280
Speaker 1: We've talked about unfettered illegal immigration without assimilation. I don't

109
00:06:56,279 --> 00:07:00,839
Speaker 1: think most Americans are keenly aware or acutely aware of

110
00:07:00,880 --> 00:07:04,400
Speaker 1: the fact that Great Britain has nearly one hundred Sharia

111
00:07:04,560 --> 00:07:09,840
Speaker 1: courts that are separate and apart from Great Britain's judicial system.

112
00:07:10,600 --> 00:07:13,560
Speaker 1: I don't think most people understand what a no go

113
00:07:13,880 --> 00:07:17,640
Speaker 1: zone is in parts of France and other parts of Europe,

114
00:07:17,680 --> 00:07:22,080
Speaker 1: but they exist. These are people that have immigrated from countries,

115
00:07:22,880 --> 00:07:27,360
Speaker 1: usually Islamic countries, that have no interest in assimilating to

116
00:07:27,400 --> 00:07:30,560
Speaker 1: the country that they're going to, and they isolate themselves,

117
00:07:30,640 --> 00:07:34,480
Speaker 1: separate themselves from the rest of the country while also

118
00:07:34,560 --> 00:07:39,520
Speaker 1: simultaneously having the ability to vote. I'm not sure if

119
00:07:39,760 --> 00:07:42,240
Speaker 1: domestic politics plays a part in it or not, but

120
00:07:42,280 --> 00:07:47,200
Speaker 1: it doesn't matter to me. When Spain and Italy close

121
00:07:47,280 --> 00:07:53,720
Speaker 1: their airspace to US warplanes and declare the Iranian conflict

122
00:07:54,080 --> 00:07:58,320
Speaker 1: to prevent the Iranians from getting nuclear weapons, which now

123
00:07:58,320 --> 00:08:01,760
Speaker 1: we know they had ballistic missiles with a range capability

124
00:08:01,800 --> 00:08:07,080
Speaker 1: of of of hitting countries on the continent of Europe,

125
00:08:07,240 --> 00:08:12,679
Speaker 1: it is not only disappointing, it is such a strategic

126
00:08:13,760 --> 00:08:17,840
Speaker 1: error on their part. It is naivete on a level

127
00:08:17,840 --> 00:08:23,160
Speaker 1: that I frankly don't understand. Now President Trump has spoken

128
00:08:23,200 --> 00:08:26,400
Speaker 1: out about all this, and now even by the way,

129
00:08:27,120 --> 00:08:30,280
Speaker 1: you know, with with the you know, Spain closing their

130
00:08:30,320 --> 00:08:33,360
Speaker 1: airspace to US warplanes while we're in a conflict with

131
00:08:33,440 --> 00:08:37,160
Speaker 1: a radical Islamic regime like Iran, the number one state

132
00:08:37,240 --> 00:08:41,160
Speaker 1: sponsor of terror that's shutting off the source not of

133
00:08:41,200 --> 00:08:45,640
Speaker 1: America's energy oil supply, but Europe's energy and oil supply.

134
00:08:46,640 --> 00:08:48,240
Speaker 1: And then the point you know, I'm going to get

135
00:08:48,240 --> 00:08:50,160
Speaker 1: to here is why would we ever be a part

136
00:08:50,200 --> 00:08:54,480
Speaker 1: of a of an organization that is that would not

137
00:08:54,720 --> 00:08:58,800
Speaker 1: stand up against radical Islamic terrorism and stand with us

138
00:08:58,840 --> 00:09:02,840
Speaker 1: and preventing a nuclear Duran, whether you agree or disagree

139
00:09:02,880 --> 00:09:06,559
Speaker 1: with the conflict, keeping open the Straight or Hormuz is

140
00:09:06,600 --> 00:09:10,600
Speaker 1: in their best interest way more than our national interest.

141
00:09:11,400 --> 00:09:14,360
Speaker 1: So the presidents and all these countries that can't get

142
00:09:14,480 --> 00:09:19,080
Speaker 1: jet fuel because of this skirmish, which is short live.

143
00:09:19,120 --> 00:09:21,880
Speaker 1: We're talking about a month now, and you know, two

144
00:09:22,000 --> 00:09:24,800
Speaker 1: three weeks from now, I think we'll be pretty close

145
00:09:24,840 --> 00:09:27,360
Speaker 1: to wrapping this whole thing up. And there are a

146
00:09:27,360 --> 00:09:29,880
Speaker 1: couple of important parts of this that need to be

147
00:09:30,280 --> 00:09:35,280
Speaker 1: handled before that happens. And anyway, the United Kingdom refused

148
00:09:35,280 --> 00:09:39,560
Speaker 1: to get involved at all in this conflict. They weren't

149
00:09:39,559 --> 00:09:42,920
Speaker 1: there by our side. And so the President had some

150
00:09:43,040 --> 00:09:47,800
Speaker 1: advice for Keir Starmer and Great Britain. By your energy

151
00:09:47,840 --> 00:09:50,840
Speaker 1: from the US, because we have plenty or number two

152
00:09:52,040 --> 00:09:55,400
Speaker 1: build up some delayed courage, go to the Strait and

153
00:09:55,640 --> 00:09:59,120
Speaker 1: just take it. In other words, protect the free flow

154
00:09:59,160 --> 00:10:02,400
Speaker 1: of oil at mark prices. And he added that the

155
00:10:02,480 --> 00:10:05,559
Speaker 1: UK had to learn how to fight for yourself because

156
00:10:05,600 --> 00:10:09,240
Speaker 1: the US will not be there to help you anymore,

157
00:10:09,280 --> 00:10:12,880
Speaker 1: just like you were not there for US. Iran has

158
00:10:12,880 --> 00:10:19,199
Speaker 1: been essentially decimated. The hard part is done. Go get

159
00:10:19,240 --> 00:10:23,560
Speaker 1: your own oil. Now, why should the US be spending

160
00:10:23,679 --> 00:10:29,600
Speaker 1: a whopping nine hundred and eighty billion dollars when France

161
00:10:29,920 --> 00:10:34,679
Speaker 1: and Great Britain and Spain and Italy and other European

162
00:10:34,720 --> 00:10:40,440
Speaker 1: countries won't even stand with us. When there's such moral clarity.

163
00:10:40,559 --> 00:10:44,080
Speaker 1: What has happened to the continent of Europe that you

164
00:10:44,280 --> 00:10:48,840
Speaker 1: think would have memories of World War Two and the

165
00:10:49,000 --> 00:10:54,440
Speaker 1: Holocaust and Hitler and fascism and Mussolini, you know, and

166
00:10:54,520 --> 00:10:57,920
Speaker 1: of course the never ending threat that is, you know

167
00:10:58,080 --> 00:11:02,680
Speaker 1: now the former Soviet Union, Russia and Putin and that

168
00:11:02,920 --> 00:11:08,000
Speaker 1: did they not realize that if they come calling after

169
00:11:08,040 --> 00:11:12,360
Speaker 1: the way they're acting here, that Donald Trump is not

170
00:11:12,480 --> 00:11:15,560
Speaker 1: going to be that interested in helping them. And I

171
00:11:15,640 --> 00:11:19,520
Speaker 1: can't blame them, and I don't think moving forward we

172
00:11:19,559 --> 00:11:23,480
Speaker 1: could really depend on the NATO alliance at all to

173
00:11:23,559 --> 00:11:28,960
Speaker 1: have our back now, the President had said, and so

174
00:11:29,120 --> 00:11:33,800
Speaker 1: far I think ten of the twenty ships oil tankers

175
00:11:34,480 --> 00:11:37,839
Speaker 1: have been given. The concession came from the Terranian leaders,

176
00:11:37,840 --> 00:11:41,200
Speaker 1: whoever it is that they're talking to, the Secretary of State,

177
00:11:41,240 --> 00:11:43,520
Speaker 1: Mark or Rubio says, the straight of hoorn moves will

178
00:11:43,520 --> 00:11:47,760
Speaker 1: open one way or the other, and this whole conflict

179
00:11:47,800 --> 00:11:50,080
Speaker 1: will come to a conclusion. One way or the other,

180
00:11:51,080 --> 00:11:54,880
Speaker 1: and Europe's climate policies offered no relief for gas prices there.

181
00:11:56,080 --> 00:11:58,680
Speaker 1: But you know, this is going to be a moment

182
00:11:58,880 --> 00:12:01,319
Speaker 1: in time where a Maria, because now after this is

183
00:12:01,360 --> 00:12:03,679
Speaker 1: all said and done, we're going to have to evaluate,

184
00:12:04,400 --> 00:12:06,880
Speaker 1: you know, what this alliance really stands for and whether

185
00:12:06,960 --> 00:12:08,320
Speaker 1: or not we want to be a part of it.

186
00:12:09,400 --> 00:12:11,400
Speaker 1: And I don't see why we're paying the bulk of

187
00:12:11,480 --> 00:12:17,520
Speaker 1: moneys for what the US. There are two main issues

188
00:12:17,559 --> 00:12:21,520
Speaker 1: that remain all these targets, has now been eleven thousand

189
00:12:21,559 --> 00:12:25,080
Speaker 1: military targets that have been hit. We have severe we

190
00:12:25,120 --> 00:12:29,000
Speaker 1: have destroyed their navy, We've destroyed their air defense systems,

191
00:12:29,040 --> 00:12:32,559
Speaker 1: We've destroyed much of their ballistic missile systems, not completely.

192
00:12:33,080 --> 00:12:36,200
Speaker 1: We've taken out as many drones as we can possibly find.

193
00:12:36,200 --> 00:12:39,000
Speaker 1: I'm sure they still have some. But those are not

194
00:12:39,120 --> 00:12:42,199
Speaker 1: the two big remaining issues that have to be dealt

195
00:12:42,200 --> 00:12:46,440
Speaker 1: with as we now look to wrap this up, maybe

196
00:12:46,600 --> 00:12:49,720
Speaker 1: even ahead of schedule, which would be nice. And I

197
00:12:49,760 --> 00:12:51,440
Speaker 1: know there have been people this is going to be

198
00:12:51,440 --> 00:12:53,959
Speaker 1: a forever war. It's going to be like Iraq in Afghanistan,

199
00:12:54,000 --> 00:12:57,760
Speaker 1: not under President Trumpet's not and those people making those proclamations.

200
00:12:57,840 --> 00:13:00,200
Speaker 1: Don't know what the hell they're talking about. Never I've

201
00:13:00,240 --> 00:13:02,920
Speaker 1: known what the hell they're talking about. Donald Trump did

202
00:13:02,960 --> 00:13:07,760
Speaker 1: this because he's doing BB's bidding, in Israel's bidding. That's

203
00:13:07,840 --> 00:13:11,880
Speaker 1: never been true, and it's not true today. He's listening

204
00:13:11,920 --> 00:13:15,160
Speaker 1: to talk show hosts like Mark Levin and Sean Hannity.

205
00:13:15,280 --> 00:13:18,800
Speaker 1: That's not true either. The president is somebody that will

206
00:13:18,800 --> 00:13:23,320
Speaker 1: listen to everybody and then make up his own mind.

207
00:13:23,440 --> 00:13:25,520
Speaker 1: And I can promise you you can't talk him into

208
00:13:25,600 --> 00:13:29,679
Speaker 1: anything unless he sees the wisdom of it. And the

209
00:13:29,800 --> 00:13:34,960
Speaker 1: pivotal key moment was when the Iranians claim they had

210
00:13:36,160 --> 00:13:39,960
Speaker 1: an inherent right to nuclear weapons, that they were not

211
00:13:40,240 --> 00:13:44,400
Speaker 1: going to give it up, and acknowledged the sixty percent

212
00:13:44,559 --> 00:13:47,959
Speaker 1: enriched uranium which could be weapons graded ninety days. And

213
00:13:48,120 --> 00:13:51,280
Speaker 1: we learned during this conflict that we underestimated once again

214
00:13:51,960 --> 00:13:56,880
Speaker 1: their ballistic missile capability and the range of their ballistic missiles,

215
00:13:56,880 --> 00:13:59,319
Speaker 1: which means, with the help of the North Koreans, which

216
00:13:59,400 --> 00:14:02,360
Speaker 1: is a problem and of itself, that they could have

217
00:14:02,440 --> 00:14:05,600
Speaker 1: had a nuclear warhead enough for eleven nuclear weapons and

218
00:14:05,760 --> 00:14:11,719
Speaker 1: building towards an intercontinental ballistic missile. That's why Donald Trump acted, though.

219
00:14:11,760 --> 00:14:16,040
Speaker 1: The two things that remain is making sure and I

220
00:14:16,040 --> 00:14:19,520
Speaker 1: don't know the process of this now. The Israelis believe

221
00:14:19,600 --> 00:14:25,520
Speaker 1: that they can actually degrade or bury literally underground forever

222
00:14:26,520 --> 00:14:30,360
Speaker 1: the sixty percent enriched uranium. I don't know if it's that,

223
00:14:30,560 --> 00:14:32,720
Speaker 1: if it's removal, I don't know what it's gonna take.

224
00:14:32,800 --> 00:14:36,680
Speaker 1: It's way beyond my level of expertise. But you can't.

225
00:14:37,160 --> 00:14:39,400
Speaker 1: You have to ensure it never gets in the wrong hands.

226
00:14:39,440 --> 00:14:42,040
Speaker 1: That you have to make sure of. And the strata

227
00:14:42,080 --> 00:14:47,000
Speaker 1: horror moves more complicated, less impactful to us. And I'm

228
00:14:47,040 --> 00:14:49,000
Speaker 1: not sure whether or not Europe will wake up to

229
00:14:49,040 --> 00:14:51,960
Speaker 1: that factor or not. And I don't really care. I

230
00:14:52,000 --> 00:14:54,800
Speaker 1: think we're gonna have a long discussion about our relationship

231
00:14:54,840 --> 00:15:05,560
Speaker 1: with Europe post this conflict. I knew he should pull

232
00:15:05,640 --> 00:15:10,240
Speaker 1: up Winston Churchill and blood and tile, tears and sweat

233
00:15:11,080 --> 00:15:17,880
Speaker 1: and remind our friends across the pond of what Winston

234
00:15:18,000 --> 00:15:24,840
Speaker 1: Churchill once admonished their their continent about and mobilized not

235
00:15:24,880 --> 00:15:29,560
Speaker 1: only a nation, but a continent against the monstrous tyranny,

236
00:15:29,800 --> 00:15:34,120
Speaker 1: because clearly they've forgotten the lessons. Here's Starmer's to me,

237
00:15:35,040 --> 00:15:39,440
Speaker 1: He's nothing but Neville Chamberlain in our time, sad pathetic.

238
00:15:39,520 --> 00:15:42,320
Speaker 1: Macrona is even worse. Spain is even worse.

260
00:17:04,280 --> 00:17:08,600

261
00:17:08,600 --> 00:17:11,679
Speaker 1: your speeding up. Oh you know that's fake news.

262
00:17:11,720 --> 00:17:13,440
Speaker 4: I did it in front of you, and you know it.

263
00:17:14,200 --> 00:17:16,960
Speaker 1: You take that pretty good in front of me, no doubt. No,

264
00:17:17,520 --> 00:17:20,000
Speaker 1: I'm looking at Europe. I'm looking at the NATO Alliance

265
00:17:20,200 --> 00:17:23,440
Speaker 1: and when this is all said and done, and we're

266
00:17:23,440 --> 00:17:28,080
Speaker 1: looking at sooner rather than later, and the ceasefire ABCS

267
00:17:28,119 --> 00:17:30,720
Speaker 1: are very very straightforward. Has The New York posted a

268
00:17:30,720 --> 00:17:35,639
Speaker 1: good editorial about this today And it's simple. Now, this

269
00:17:35,680 --> 00:17:39,320
Speaker 1: will either happen the Iranians that are in power that

270
00:17:39,400 --> 00:17:42,800
Speaker 1: have given the president permission to have twenty oil tankers

271
00:17:42,840 --> 00:17:45,720
Speaker 1: passed through the straight or hor moves as evidence. It's

272
00:17:45,720 --> 00:17:49,359
Speaker 1: sort of like, you know, I kidnapped ransom and you

273
00:17:49,400 --> 00:17:51,479
Speaker 1: need proof of life. I guess they had to have

274
00:17:51,520 --> 00:17:53,960
Speaker 1: proof that they're actually in charge and have the ability

275
00:17:54,480 --> 00:17:57,000
Speaker 1: to show that they're in charge. So they're allowing these

276
00:17:57,040 --> 00:17:59,639
Speaker 1: twenty tankers to pass through. The first ten already went

277
00:17:59,640 --> 00:18:01,520
Speaker 1: through it. I think we might have had all twenty

278
00:18:01,560 --> 00:18:05,720
Speaker 1: to go through. I'm not sure, but if you look

279
00:18:05,760 --> 00:18:11,159
Speaker 1: at it, there's really two major objectives that are left.

280
00:18:11,440 --> 00:18:14,200
Speaker 1: I know that the world would like us to keep

281
00:18:14,240 --> 00:18:18,359
Speaker 1: the straight o Horn moves open. I don't think that

282
00:18:18,400 --> 00:18:23,880
Speaker 1: should be an America only effort. I just don't, considering

283
00:18:23,920 --> 00:18:27,400
Speaker 1: we don't get our energy from there, and frankly, after

284
00:18:27,440 --> 00:18:30,040
Speaker 1: the way Europe has acted, I'd like to put that

285
00:18:30,119 --> 00:18:34,919
Speaker 1: on them. You know, Taran also will have to surrender,

286
00:18:35,560 --> 00:18:40,359
Speaker 1: with serious verification and monitoring of their compliance. But they're

287
00:18:40,359 --> 00:18:43,960
Speaker 1: gonna have to either voluntarily or somehow we will degrade,

288
00:18:44,000 --> 00:18:49,159
Speaker 1: diminish or make it completely unaccessible, inaccessible, sorry, excuse me,

289
00:18:50,880 --> 00:18:55,720
Speaker 1: any of the sixty percent of riched uranium. That's it now.

290
00:18:55,920 --> 00:19:00,520
Speaker 1: The Iranian whoever the Iranian leadership is now, imagine we

291
00:19:00,600 --> 00:19:04,280
Speaker 1: know where they are. I would imagine we could probably

292
00:19:04,359 --> 00:19:06,840
Speaker 1: take them out, just like we took out Ali Hamani

293
00:19:07,000 --> 00:19:10,320
Speaker 1: and his top leadership, and then the next level of leadership,

294
00:19:10,359 --> 00:19:13,040
Speaker 1: then the third tier of leadership, and all the other

295
00:19:14,119 --> 00:19:18,400
Speaker 1: leaders of the Revolutionary Guard and cuts forces and everybody

296
00:19:18,400 --> 00:19:21,240
Speaker 1: else in between. And I would imagine we could do

297
00:19:21,280 --> 00:19:21,720
Speaker 1: it again.

298
00:19:22,640 --> 00:19:22,760
Speaker 5: Now.

299
00:19:22,760 --> 00:19:25,399
Speaker 1: It's kind of hard to fathom that there are people

300
00:19:25,440 --> 00:19:28,439
Speaker 1: that didn't learn anything from Midnight Hammer and Epic Fury

301
00:19:28,480 --> 00:19:32,359
Speaker 1: and Roaring Lion. But I'm sure that if you're indoctrinated

302
00:19:32,400 --> 00:19:37,359
Speaker 1: into this sick, twisted, ugly mindset, that believes in convert

303
00:19:37,480 --> 00:19:40,080
Speaker 1: or die and things that you're doing God's will or

304
00:19:40,119 --> 00:19:44,080
Speaker 1: Allah's will and you'll be rewarded in heaven with seventy

305
00:19:44,119 --> 00:19:47,800
Speaker 1: two virgins. Maybe you think it's a righteous thing to die.

306
00:19:47,880 --> 00:19:53,000
Speaker 1: I don't know. But the sad reality is everything we

307
00:19:53,080 --> 00:19:56,919
Speaker 1: have been telling you about well first globalist organizations, that

308
00:19:56,960 --> 00:19:59,919
Speaker 1: they are meaningless and they are useless, and there's no

309
00:20:00,119 --> 00:20:02,240
Speaker 1: reason for the US to ever be a part even

310
00:20:02,280 --> 00:20:05,720
Speaker 1: of the UN. And why do we fund the majority

311
00:20:05,760 --> 00:20:08,720
Speaker 1: of it and spend billions of dollars every year? Why

312
00:20:08,760 --> 00:20:11,560
Speaker 1: do we Why are we a part of the the

313
00:20:11,680 --> 00:20:15,879
Speaker 1: WEF World Economic Form and all these other the iae

314
00:20:16,080 --> 00:20:19,080
Speaker 1: F from the UN, you know, looking into or a

315
00:20:19,280 --> 00:20:23,439
Speaker 1: IAEA rather looking into the Iranian capabilities as it relates

316
00:20:23,440 --> 00:20:25,920
Speaker 1: to nuclear weapons. They have been wrong again and again

317
00:20:25,960 --> 00:20:29,440
Speaker 1: and again, and they always favor I ran side, and

318
00:20:29,480 --> 00:20:34,240
Speaker 1: they always underestimate their true capability. And now that Europe

319
00:20:34,280 --> 00:20:37,000
Speaker 1: has turned their back on us and won't even let

320
00:20:37,080 --> 00:20:41,400
Speaker 1: us land our airplanes on our air basis as part

321
00:20:41,400 --> 00:20:43,879
Speaker 1: of a NATO alliance, then why are we going to

322
00:20:43,960 --> 00:20:46,840
Speaker 1: pay nearly you know, a trillion dollars a year in

323
00:20:46,960 --> 00:20:50,200
Speaker 1: NATO defense? And I think this is going to be reevaluated.

324
00:20:51,280 --> 00:20:54,439
Speaker 1: And the saddest part is when you listen to the

325
00:20:54,600 --> 00:20:57,679
Speaker 1: likes of Macrone and even now the Prime Minister of

326
00:20:57,720 --> 00:21:02,960
Speaker 1: Italy and the lead in Spain, and Kiir Starmer, the

327
00:21:03,000 --> 00:21:06,439
Speaker 1: Prime Minister of Great Britain. I'm like, how did this

328
00:21:06,640 --> 00:21:11,840
Speaker 1: continent deteriorate, diminished to such a large extent in such

329
00:21:11,880 --> 00:21:16,679
Speaker 1: a short period of time. How did they not remember

330
00:21:17,480 --> 00:21:23,040
Speaker 1: the lessons of Winston Churchill versus Neville Chamberlain. How did

331
00:21:23,040 --> 00:21:25,960
Speaker 1: they not see the emergence of evil back in that

332
00:21:26,080 --> 00:21:31,080
Speaker 1: time and then make a steadfast commitment never again? Because

333
00:21:31,280 --> 00:21:34,760
Speaker 1: how did how did Great Britain ever get to know Gozones?

334
00:21:34,800 --> 00:21:38,160
Speaker 1: How is that possible? Here's the reminder of the Great

335
00:21:38,200 --> 00:21:39,040
Speaker 1: Winston Churchill.

336
00:21:39,680 --> 00:21:42,199
Speaker 5: I would say to the House, as I said to

337
00:21:42,280 --> 00:21:46,199
Speaker 5: those who have joined the government, I have nothing you

338
00:21:46,280 --> 00:21:52,400
Speaker 5: offer for blood, toil, tears and strict you are spreading

339
00:21:52,520 --> 00:21:55,879
Speaker 5: up on the day, I will say it, the wage

340
00:21:55,960 --> 00:22:00,199
Speaker 5: war by sea lander there with all our might, with

341
00:22:00,280 --> 00:22:03,800
Speaker 5: all the strength that John can give us to wage

342
00:22:03,880 --> 00:22:08,520
Speaker 5: war against a monstrous turanny never surpassed in the dark

343
00:22:08,600 --> 00:22:11,439
Speaker 5: and lamentable catalog of human grid.

344
00:22:11,960 --> 00:22:16,240
Speaker 2: You are quite in our aim. Take an onstrain one word,

345
00:22:16,800 --> 00:22:21,679
Speaker 2: victory vic cred all costs vic cray in spite of

346
00:22:21,720 --> 00:22:26,400
Speaker 2: old kera victory, however long and hard the road may be.

347
00:22:27,160 --> 00:22:29,440
Speaker 5: But without victory, there has no survival.

348
00:22:32,119 --> 00:22:35,679
Speaker 1: He's correct, and I think that the more that we

349
00:22:35,720 --> 00:22:39,480
Speaker 1: will learn and what we already know shows that this

350
00:22:39,680 --> 00:22:44,439
Speaker 1: was a far greater, more existential threat not only to

351
00:22:44,520 --> 00:22:48,280
Speaker 1: the region but to the world that anybody knew. And

352
00:22:48,440 --> 00:22:53,360
Speaker 1: that's that's why Donald Trump undertook this action, and that's

353
00:22:53,400 --> 00:22:56,159
Speaker 1: why there were two There are two parts of this

354
00:22:56,280 --> 00:22:58,680
Speaker 1: mission that are left, and I think there will be

355
00:22:58,760 --> 00:23:01,120
Speaker 1: accomplished one way or the other, and fairly short order.

356
00:23:01,200 --> 00:23:05,120
Speaker 1: If the Iranians were smart, they would just negotiate their

357
00:23:05,119 --> 00:23:08,920
Speaker 1: way out of it, hand over their enriched uranium, open

358
00:23:09,000 --> 00:23:12,840
Speaker 1: up the straight o Hormuz and they can survive. That

359
00:23:12,880 --> 00:23:17,080
Speaker 1: would be their benefit. An Israeli new source reporting today

360
00:23:17,080 --> 00:23:21,280
Speaker 1: that recent bombing raids on Iranian nuclear sites indicate the

361
00:23:21,320 --> 00:23:24,520
Speaker 1: Pentagon has decided not to mount a risky ground force

362
00:23:24,680 --> 00:23:30,879
Speaker 1: operation to extract this enriched uranium. The alternative approach is

363
00:23:30,920 --> 00:23:36,200
Speaker 1: to neutralize the material by effectively burying it, making it

364
00:23:36,240 --> 00:23:41,080
Speaker 1: completely inaccessible, requiring at least a year for Iran to

365
00:23:41,200 --> 00:23:45,520
Speaker 1: even locate and or retrieve it, giving the US and

366
00:23:45,640 --> 00:23:49,480
Speaker 1: Israel the time needed to detect and disrupt any such

367
00:23:49,520 --> 00:23:53,399
Speaker 1: effort that would take another trip back, which would not

368
00:23:53,480 --> 00:23:56,879
Speaker 1: be the ideal situation, but certainly would take away the

369
00:23:56,920 --> 00:23:59,840
Speaker 1: imminent threat of them having access to this and rich

370
00:24:00,160 --> 00:24:04,440
Speaker 1: uranium now. They went on to explain the enriched uranium

371
00:24:04,520 --> 00:24:07,800
Speaker 1: stored in these lead containers holding about ten to twenty

372
00:24:07,920 --> 00:24:12,400
Speaker 1: kilograms each can be rendered inaccessible by bombing the complete

373
00:24:12,400 --> 00:24:17,200
Speaker 1: surrounding area, blocking any and all access points, any and

374
00:24:17,280 --> 00:24:21,400
Speaker 1: all tunnels, and we know the three locations where they

375
00:24:21,400 --> 00:24:25,639
Speaker 1: are believed to be held. You know, for example, at Nance,

376
00:24:25,760 --> 00:24:29,120
Speaker 1: US forces struck the area surrounding the uranium storage site.

377
00:24:29,160 --> 00:24:33,399
Speaker 1: Earlier this month. Similar strikes were likely carried out Issavon,

378
00:24:34,520 --> 00:24:38,119
Speaker 1: which is described as a large ammunition depot that was targeted.

379
00:24:38,840 --> 00:24:41,840
Speaker 1: It appears the US took care not to disperse or

380
00:24:41,880 --> 00:24:45,280
Speaker 1: directly hit the enriched uranium itself, in part to avoid

381
00:24:45,400 --> 00:24:50,320
Speaker 1: creating radioactive contamination in nearby areas. Instead, the strikes targeted

382
00:24:50,320 --> 00:24:55,119
Speaker 1: surrounding infrastructure, sealing off tunnels and access routes, leaving the

383
00:24:55,240 --> 00:24:57,879
Speaker 1: uranium buried beneath the rock more than one hundred meters

384
00:24:57,880 --> 00:25:01,359
Speaker 1: of rock, and as with the earlier strike at some

385
00:25:01,400 --> 00:25:06,320
Speaker 1: of these facilities, Iran's claimed that there was no radioactive contamination,

386
00:25:06,520 --> 00:25:09,120
Speaker 1: suggest that the goal was not to destroy the uranium,

387
00:25:09,160 --> 00:25:12,800
Speaker 1: but to entomb it under layers and layers of rock

388
00:25:12,840 --> 00:25:16,320
Speaker 1: and soil and concrete, and of course with satellite ability,

389
00:25:16,320 --> 00:25:22,119
Speaker 1: communications observations, INTEL, you know, US operational activity indicates a

390
00:25:22,119 --> 00:25:25,040
Speaker 1: decision to bury it. So we'll see. Now we do

391
00:25:25,119 --> 00:25:28,000
Speaker 1: have the Marines there. Ideally we would not put any

392
00:25:28,000 --> 00:25:31,080
Speaker 1: boots on the ground unless they feel like the only

393
00:25:31,240 --> 00:25:34,040
Speaker 1: option solution would be to grab it if they won't

394
00:25:34,080 --> 00:25:37,840
Speaker 1: hand it over. But only time's gonna tell, and we

395
00:25:38,000 --> 00:25:43,200
Speaker 1: just don't know. None of this is easy, you know, Donald,

396
00:25:43,280 --> 00:25:45,400
Speaker 1: You know, on the other side of this, you never

397
00:25:45,440 --> 00:25:49,720
Speaker 1: can calculate how many lives likely could have been saved

398
00:25:49,840 --> 00:25:52,199
Speaker 1: if one day they did become a nuclear power and

399
00:25:52,240 --> 00:25:55,399
Speaker 1: they did use it. You just can't. You can't calculate

400
00:25:55,440 --> 00:26:00,760
Speaker 1: that we've we've now destroyed eleven thousand enemy targets in Iran.

401
00:26:01,800 --> 00:26:04,680
Speaker 1: Pete Hegseth did reveal that he made a secret trip

402
00:26:04,720 --> 00:26:07,359
Speaker 1: to the Middle East over the weekend. He said on

403
00:26:07,400 --> 00:26:09,840
Speaker 1: Tuesday he made a secret wartime trip to the Middle

404
00:26:09,840 --> 00:26:13,080
Speaker 1: East to meet with American troops fighting Operation Epic Fury.

405
00:26:13,720 --> 00:26:16,080
Speaker 1: He said this speaking during a press conference the press

406
00:26:16,080 --> 00:26:19,399
Speaker 1: briefing at the Pentagon, asserting that Morales high service members

407
00:26:19,440 --> 00:26:23,320
Speaker 1: are determined to finish the mission. He didn't disclose the

408
00:26:23,359 --> 00:26:28,200
Speaker 1: precise location. Trump says that we will the US will

409
00:26:28,280 --> 00:26:31,639
Speaker 1: learn in about a week if Iran's parliament speaker wants

410
00:26:31,640 --> 00:26:35,399
Speaker 1: a deal, or about a week away. Probably less than

411
00:26:35,400 --> 00:26:39,680
Speaker 1: a week at this point, but the Trump administration has

412
00:26:39,760 --> 00:26:43,520
Speaker 1: identified the Iranian official negotiating it is in fact a

413
00:26:43,520 --> 00:26:48,320
Speaker 1: parliamentary speaker. Obviously he's got some Jews because he's been

414
00:26:48,359 --> 00:26:53,080
Speaker 1: able to show proof of power by allowing specific tankers

415
00:26:53,119 --> 00:26:55,920
Speaker 1: that we have identified to go through the Straight of Hormuz.

416
00:26:56,920 --> 00:27:00,600
Speaker 1: The President reiterated the threat to target Iranian energy sites

417
00:27:01,280 --> 00:27:04,840
Speaker 1: if that deal is not reached. He said, great progress

418
00:27:04,880 --> 00:27:07,200
Speaker 1: has been made, but if for any reason a deal

419
00:27:07,280 --> 00:27:10,679
Speaker 1: is not shortly reached, which it probably will be, and

420
00:27:10,760 --> 00:27:14,000
Speaker 1: if the Hormuz Straight is not immediately open for business,

421
00:27:14,520 --> 00:27:17,640
Speaker 1: we will conclude our lovely stay in Iran by blowing

422
00:27:17,720 --> 00:27:21,480
Speaker 1: up and completely obliterating all of their electric generating plants.

423
00:27:21,560 --> 00:27:26,600
Speaker 1: OIO Wels and carg Island, and possibly all desalinization plants

424
00:27:26,920 --> 00:27:30,480
Speaker 1: which we have purposely not yet touched. This will be

425
00:27:30,480 --> 00:27:33,840
Speaker 1: in retribution for our many soldiers and others that Iran

426
00:27:34,080 --> 00:27:37,760
Speaker 1: has butchered and killed over the old regime's forty seven

427
00:27:37,840 --> 00:27:41,960
Speaker 1: year old reign of terror, he said. And this is

428
00:27:41,960 --> 00:27:46,119
Speaker 1: where so many people misunderstand Donald Trump, because if they

429
00:27:46,160 --> 00:27:49,240
Speaker 1: would listen to what he says and look at his

430
00:27:49,359 --> 00:27:53,280
Speaker 1: past actions, he's about as transparent as any president that

431
00:27:53,280 --> 00:27:56,920
Speaker 1: we've ever had in our lifetime. There's no surprises here,

432
00:27:58,040 --> 00:28:01,959
Speaker 1: very good talks with Iran, and I think the Iranians

433
00:28:02,040 --> 00:28:06,520
Speaker 1: know beyond any doubt what the consequences will be if

434
00:28:06,520 --> 00:28:11,240
Speaker 1: they don't comply. Don't have to see, and I'm hoping

435
00:28:11,400 --> 00:28:14,399
Speaker 1: they make the right decision. I don't know what we

436
00:28:14,480 --> 00:28:16,439
Speaker 1: do with Europe at the end of this conflict. I

437
00:28:16,480 --> 00:28:19,000
Speaker 1: just don't know. I don't know how you resolve that.

438
00:28:20,040 --> 00:28:23,600
Speaker 1: I mean, they're an unreliable ally that is far too

439
00:28:23,640 --> 00:28:26,760
Speaker 1: dependent on our money and our military might for their

440
00:28:26,800 --> 00:28:31,320
Speaker 1: own survival. And they are a continent that is in decline,

441
00:28:31,600 --> 00:28:37,760
Speaker 1: not exactly a reliable ally. Steve Hilton, apparently gubernatorial hopeful,

442
00:28:38,160 --> 00:28:41,560
Speaker 1: mister Fang Fang Eric Swolwell took at least six strips

443
00:28:42,000 --> 00:28:46,760
Speaker 1: to Doha back by Qatar Links sponsors from twenty twenty

444
00:28:46,920 --> 00:28:51,520
Speaker 1: through twenty twenty four, extending a pattern of foreign funded

445
00:28:51,600 --> 00:28:56,680
Speaker 1: travel that previously drew criticism. Did disclosures show that mister

446
00:28:56,760 --> 00:29:01,960
Speaker 1: fang Fang returned to Qatar repeated over multiple years. Slam

447
00:29:02,080 --> 00:29:04,400
Speaker 1: for taking an eighty four thousand dollars trip with a

448
00:29:04,400 --> 00:29:07,400
Speaker 1: few other lawmakers to the Golf Emirate in twenty twenty one,

449
00:29:07,480 --> 00:29:12,120
Speaker 1: sponsored by the US Katari Business Council. And how many

450
00:29:12,200 --> 00:29:15,160
Speaker 1: of these countries that I tell you about have reached

451
00:29:15,200 --> 00:29:17,440
Speaker 1: out to me wanting to talk to me? And I

452
00:29:17,560 --> 00:29:21,360
Speaker 1: refuse to talk to them? All of them, all of

453
00:29:21,400 --> 00:29:24,040
Speaker 1: them pretty much. Why do you think I refuse to

454
00:29:24,080 --> 00:29:25,760
Speaker 1: talk to them? And they don't get they don't have

455
00:29:25,800 --> 00:29:28,480
Speaker 1: my number directly, But why do you think I refuse

456
00:29:28,520 --> 00:29:30,400
Speaker 1: any outreach from these countries?

457
00:29:31,000 --> 00:29:33,360
Speaker 4: It's very hot there. I don't think you'd be very comfortable.

458
00:29:33,960 --> 00:29:38,440
Speaker 1: Yeah, just look, I've been to Riodd and Doha and

459
00:29:38,720 --> 00:29:41,760
Speaker 1: the UA, been to all of them. No, thank you,

460
00:29:42,120 --> 00:29:43,400
Speaker 1: I'm not looking for out.

461
00:29:43,240 --> 00:29:45,400
Speaker 4: Nothing is for free. I mean, let's be honest. They

462
00:29:45,440 --> 00:29:48,640
Speaker 4: all want something. I mean, the ultimate quid pro quote.

463
00:29:48,400 --> 00:29:54,360
Speaker 1: Joe, Why do I suspect that you meet with people?

464
00:29:54,880 --> 00:29:57,160
