WEBVTT - NATO On Notice

0:00:00.040 --> 0:00:01.319
<v Speaker 1>Thanks to all of you for being one of us.

0:00:01.360 --> 0:00:04.920
<v Speaker 1>Right down are toll free telephone number if you'd like

0:00:05.040 --> 0:00:08.520
<v Speaker 1>to be a part of this extravaganza, it's eight hundred

0:00:08.560 --> 0:00:10.840
<v Speaker 1>and ninety four one Sean if you want to join us.

0:00:12.400 --> 0:00:16.200
<v Speaker 1>There is now as we head into what is a

0:00:16.400 --> 0:00:20.440
<v Speaker 1>difficult and all our prayers and hopes are with American troops.

0:00:21.200 --> 0:00:25.919
<v Speaker 1>The President the Secretary of State have both indicated in

0:00:26.000 --> 0:00:29.440
<v Speaker 1>great detail. And I know that there are people that

0:00:29.480 --> 0:00:31.520
<v Speaker 1>don't want to believe a thing that Donald Trump says.

0:00:32.520 --> 0:00:36.040
<v Speaker 1>You have, you have various factions out there. They're they're loud,

0:00:36.120 --> 0:00:40.559
<v Speaker 1>but they're not the majority of President Trump's supporters. You know,

0:00:40.640 --> 0:00:45.440
<v Speaker 1>some eighty five percent on average MAGA voters support the

0:00:45.440 --> 0:00:49.000
<v Speaker 1>president his actions in Iran. I think people that are

0:00:49.360 --> 0:00:52.919
<v Speaker 1>educated as to the real circumstances as to why the

0:00:52.960 --> 0:00:56.960
<v Speaker 1>President made this decision, uh and and that being more

0:00:57.040 --> 0:01:01.440
<v Speaker 1>importantly that Iran cannot have a nuclear weapon, are more

0:01:01.480 --> 0:01:05.840
<v Speaker 1>acutely aware than your average bird out there. And you know,

0:01:05.880 --> 0:01:10.800
<v Speaker 1>you have people that don't really care that the Iranians

0:01:11.280 --> 0:01:16.800
<v Speaker 1>were far closer to having nuclear weapons than we originally knew.

0:01:17.360 --> 0:01:19.959
<v Speaker 1>I mean this, this historically has been the case that

0:01:20.120 --> 0:01:26.520
<v Speaker 1>globalist international organizations have grossly underestimated the Iranian regimes power.

0:01:27.680 --> 0:01:31.600
<v Speaker 1>And it's just unfortunate across the board because you know,

0:01:31.720 --> 0:01:36.000
<v Speaker 1>here they have you know, sixty percent enriched uranium, as

0:01:36.000 --> 0:01:39.640
<v Speaker 1>we've been describing, that can be you know, enriched to

0:01:39.760 --> 0:01:42.720
<v Speaker 1>ninety percent weapons grade in seven to eleven days. And

0:01:42.760 --> 0:01:45.960
<v Speaker 1>then we also learned in this conflict that they had

0:01:46.080 --> 0:01:50.880
<v Speaker 1>underestimated the range of their longer ballistic missile capability, and

0:01:51.520 --> 0:01:55.440
<v Speaker 1>that now tells us that it could go to parts

0:01:55.440 --> 0:02:02.280
<v Speaker 1>of Europe like Paris and London, for example. And there

0:02:02.440 --> 0:02:06.360
<v Speaker 1>is a schism, and I'm not sure how this is

0:02:06.400 --> 0:02:08.480
<v Speaker 1>going to play out, but I have a pretty good

0:02:08.520 --> 0:02:12.160
<v Speaker 1>idea how it's going to play out, and it's not

0:02:12.400 --> 0:02:15.920
<v Speaker 1>going to be good for Europe. I have been making

0:02:15.960 --> 0:02:20.520
<v Speaker 1>the case that individually countries in Europe they are in

0:02:20.600 --> 0:02:25.079
<v Speaker 1>a precipitous decline and they have been four decades, even

0:02:25.120 --> 0:02:29.240
<v Speaker 1>some of our closest allies, and they have bought into

0:02:30.160 --> 0:02:34.480
<v Speaker 1>radical socialism, they have brought in bought into radical environmentalism.

0:02:34.520 --> 0:02:37.360
<v Speaker 1>I'll give you an example. You know, Europe's decision to

0:02:37.440 --> 0:02:40.880
<v Speaker 1>switch to green energy instead of relying on fossil fuels

0:02:41.520 --> 0:02:45.079
<v Speaker 1>is now driving their motorists straight to the poorhouse. And

0:02:45.280 --> 0:02:47.720
<v Speaker 1>I know that we're not near five dollars a gallon

0:02:47.800 --> 0:02:51.400
<v Speaker 1>like we were under Joe Biden. In America, it's about

0:02:51.440 --> 0:02:54.079
<v Speaker 1>four bucks a gallon. And this is going to be temporary.

0:02:54.120 --> 0:02:57.600
<v Speaker 1>That is my prediction. I'm more than confident that I'm

0:02:57.639 --> 0:03:01.440
<v Speaker 1>going to be proven correct. But the average driver in Europe,

0:03:01.480 --> 0:03:04.600
<v Speaker 1>they're now paying ten dollars a gallon, nine or ten

0:03:04.680 --> 0:03:08.920
<v Speaker 1>dollars a gallon for gasoline. And the reason is North

0:03:08.919 --> 0:03:12.920
<v Speaker 1>America produces almost all of its oil. In other words,

0:03:13.000 --> 0:03:16.040
<v Speaker 1>we are energy independent. You know, the whole issue of

0:03:16.040 --> 0:03:19.400
<v Speaker 1>the Strait of Hormuz has very little actually to do

0:03:19.520 --> 0:03:21.919
<v Speaker 1>with the US. It does have to do with the

0:03:22.000 --> 0:03:26.120
<v Speaker 1>free flow of oil at market prices, which is impactful

0:03:26.120 --> 0:03:29.200
<v Speaker 1>to the world. But over you know, for a decade,

0:03:29.280 --> 0:03:33.360
<v Speaker 1>fifteen or so years, nearly two decades, Europe doesn't produce

0:03:33.400 --> 0:03:37.080
<v Speaker 1>anywhere near close to what their energy needs are. And

0:03:37.120 --> 0:03:40.520
<v Speaker 1>the energy is the lifeblood of the world's economy. Anyway,

0:03:40.560 --> 0:03:44.280
<v Speaker 1>European drivers were paying nine to ten dollars a gallon

0:03:44.320 --> 0:03:46.320
<v Speaker 1>of gasoline. You go to Europe, you wonder why these

0:03:46.360 --> 0:03:50.040
<v Speaker 1>people driving around in these tiny little box cars and

0:03:50.320 --> 0:03:52.800
<v Speaker 1>that's one of the reasons they're doing it because of

0:03:52.840 --> 0:03:56.440
<v Speaker 1>the high price of energy. Now, what is the whole

0:03:56.520 --> 0:04:00.480
<v Speaker 1>purpose of the NATO alliance? What is the whole of it?

0:04:01.320 --> 0:04:04.720
<v Speaker 1>Post World War Two? You know, here here we had

0:04:05.520 --> 0:04:09.040
<v Speaker 1>you know, America standing, and it took a while for

0:04:09.120 --> 0:04:11.520
<v Speaker 1>us to get involved in that conflict. There actually were

0:04:12.000 --> 0:04:16.920
<v Speaker 1>a lot of you know, loud isolationist voices FDR. You know,

0:04:17.000 --> 0:04:20.240
<v Speaker 1>after Pearl Harbor, Winston Churchill became the guests that wouldn't

0:04:20.279 --> 0:04:24.120
<v Speaker 1>leave the White House. And we decided to enter the

0:04:24.120 --> 0:04:29.400
<v Speaker 1>theater in in Europe at a great, great toll and

0:04:29.480 --> 0:04:33.160
<v Speaker 1>a great great cost to this country and our national

0:04:33.200 --> 0:04:37.520
<v Speaker 1>treasure to fight evil in its time. As we fought back,

0:04:37.760 --> 0:04:40.760
<v Speaker 1>you know, the forces of and we were fighting, you know,

0:04:40.880 --> 0:04:44.680
<v Speaker 1>simultaneously we had the theater in the Pacific, we had

0:04:44.720 --> 0:04:48.000
<v Speaker 1>the theater in Europe. You know, look how many brave

0:04:48.040 --> 0:04:51.400
<v Speaker 1>men and women, our national treasure died slamming the beaches

0:04:51.400 --> 0:04:54.480
<v Speaker 1>of Normandy. Look at how many people died in the Pacific.

0:04:54.560 --> 0:04:57.800
<v Speaker 1>My dad served four years in the Pacific. And the

0:04:58.240 --> 0:05:01.960
<v Speaker 1>cost of freedom has been anything but free. And if

0:05:02.000 --> 0:05:04.960
<v Speaker 1>we you know, when you look at NATO, you know,

0:05:05.040 --> 0:05:09.800
<v Speaker 1>the broader US national defense spending in NATO in context,

0:05:09.920 --> 0:05:13.120
<v Speaker 1>you know, it is an organization that was designed to

0:05:13.240 --> 0:05:16.880
<v Speaker 1>prevent whatever what happened in World War Two and the

0:05:16.920 --> 0:05:20.880
<v Speaker 1>emergence of evil on the continent of Europe i e. Hitler,

0:05:21.080 --> 0:05:27.760
<v Speaker 1>Nazi Germany, i e. Mussolini fascism, the threat that was

0:05:27.960 --> 0:05:30.520
<v Speaker 1>Stalin in Russia, that started off on one side of

0:05:30.520 --> 0:05:32.919
<v Speaker 1>that conflict, ending up on our side of that conflict.

0:05:33.279 --> 0:05:36.080
<v Speaker 1>I mean, it is a kind of amazing history if

0:05:36.080 --> 0:05:38.960
<v Speaker 1>you go through it without rehashing all of the conflict

0:05:38.960 --> 0:05:41.960
<v Speaker 1>in the theater in Europe. But you know, so as

0:05:41.960 --> 0:05:45.400
<v Speaker 1>a result of that, an attack against one is an

0:05:45.400 --> 0:05:49.000
<v Speaker 1>attack against all. That's what the NATO Alliance is supposed

0:05:49.000 --> 0:05:54.400
<v Speaker 1>to be. And Okay, you could argue, well, the Iranians

0:05:54.560 --> 0:05:57.680
<v Speaker 1>didn't attack us, although they have killed many Americans over

0:05:57.720 --> 0:06:00.599
<v Speaker 1>the years, and we have talked about that at length.

0:06:01.120 --> 0:06:05.520
<v Speaker 1>But so we spend twenty twenty five NATO total defense

0:06:05.560 --> 0:06:11.159
<v Speaker 1>spending about one point six trillion dollars. Of that money

0:06:11.240 --> 0:06:15.160
<v Speaker 1>one point six trillion, we pay about sixty two percent

0:06:15.200 --> 0:06:18.359
<v Speaker 1>of it around nine hundred and eighty billion dollars depending

0:06:18.400 --> 0:06:22.280
<v Speaker 1>on the source and pricing basis. In other words, US

0:06:22.360 --> 0:06:26.760
<v Speaker 1>defense spending as a share of its own GDP was

0:06:26.839 --> 0:06:30.200
<v Speaker 1>three point two percent in twenty twenty five numbers. Remember,

0:06:30.760 --> 0:06:34.440
<v Speaker 1>Europe wasn't even paying its share fair share of two percent.

0:06:35.720 --> 0:06:38.840
<v Speaker 1>But Europe is a continent and individual countries have been

0:06:38.880 --> 0:06:41.440
<v Speaker 1>in a precipitous decline. They've been in a decline for

0:06:41.480 --> 0:06:44.320
<v Speaker 1>a lot of different reasons, and one has to wonder,

0:06:44.480 --> 0:06:48.120
<v Speaker 1>you know, if it's just all combined contributing factors altogether.

0:06:48.240 --> 0:06:50.960
<v Speaker 1>But Europe as a continent has been in a decline.

0:06:50.960 --> 0:06:56.280
<v Speaker 1>We've talked about unfettered illegal immigration without assimilation. I don't

0:06:56.279 --> 0:07:00.839
<v Speaker 1>think most Americans are keenly aware or acutely aware of

0:07:00.880 --> 0:07:04.400
<v Speaker 1>the fact that Great Britain has nearly one hundred Sharia

0:07:04.560 --> 0:07:09.840
<v Speaker 1>courts that are separate and apart from Great Britain's judicial system.

0:07:10.600 --> 0:07:13.560
<v Speaker 1>I don't think most people understand what a no go

0:07:13.880 --> 0:07:17.640
<v Speaker 1>zone is in parts of France and other parts of Europe,

0:07:17.680 --> 0:07:22.080
<v Speaker 1>but they exist. These are people that have immigrated from countries,

0:07:22.880 --> 0:07:27.360
<v Speaker 1>usually Islamic countries, that have no interest in assimilating to

0:07:27.400 --> 0:07:30.560
<v Speaker 1>the country that they're going to, and they isolate themselves,

0:07:30.640 --> 0:07:34.480
<v Speaker 1>separate themselves from the rest of the country while also

0:07:34.560 --> 0:07:39.520
<v Speaker 1>simultaneously having the ability to vote. I'm not sure if

0:07:39.760 --> 0:07:42.240
<v Speaker 1>domestic politics plays a part in it or not, but

0:07:42.280 --> 0:07:47.200
<v Speaker 1>it doesn't matter to me. When Spain and Italy close

0:07:47.280 --> 0:07:53.720
<v Speaker 1>their airspace to US warplanes and declare the Iranian conflict

0:07:54.080 --> 0:07:58.320
<v Speaker 1>to prevent the Iranians from getting nuclear weapons, which now

0:07:58.320 --> 0:08:01.760
<v Speaker 1>we know they had ballistic missiles with a range capability

0:08:01.800 --> 0:08:07.080
<v Speaker 1>of of of hitting countries on the continent of Europe,

0:08:07.240 --> 0:08:12.679
<v Speaker 1>it is not only disappointing, it is such a strategic

0:08:13.760 --> 0:08:17.840
<v Speaker 1>error on their part. It is naivete on a level

0:08:17.840 --> 0:08:23.160
<v Speaker 1>that I frankly don't understand. Now President Trump has spoken

0:08:23.200 --> 0:08:26.400
<v Speaker 1>out about all this, and now even by the way,

0:08:27.120 --> 0:08:30.280
<v Speaker 1>you know, with with the you know, Spain closing their

0:08:30.320 --> 0:08:33.360
<v Speaker 1>airspace to US warplanes while we're in a conflict with

0:08:33.440 --> 0:08:37.160
<v Speaker 1>a radical Islamic regime like Iran, the number one state

0:08:37.240 --> 0:08:41.160
<v Speaker 1>sponsor of terror that's shutting off the source not of

0:08:41.200 --> 0:08:45.640
<v Speaker 1>America's energy oil supply, but Europe's energy and oil supply.

0:08:46.640 --> 0:08:48.240
<v Speaker 1>And then the point you know, I'm going to get

0:08:48.240 --> 0:08:50.160
<v Speaker 1>to here is why would we ever be a part

0:08:50.200 --> 0:08:54.480
<v Speaker 1>of a of an organization that is that would not

0:08:54.720 --> 0:08:58.800
<v Speaker 1>stand up against radical Islamic terrorism and stand with us

0:08:58.840 --> 0:09:02.840
<v Speaker 1>and preventing a nuclear Duran, whether you agree or disagree

0:09:02.880 --> 0:09:06.559
<v Speaker 1>with the conflict, keeping open the Straight or Hormuz is

0:09:06.600 --> 0:09:10.600
<v Speaker 1>in their best interest way more than our national interest.

0:09:11.400 --> 0:09:14.360
<v Speaker 1>So the presidents and all these countries that can't get

0:09:14.480 --> 0:09:19.080
<v Speaker 1>jet fuel because of this skirmish, which is short live.

0:09:19.120 --> 0:09:21.880
<v Speaker 1>We're talking about a month now, and you know, two

0:09:22.000 --> 0:09:24.800
<v Speaker 1>three weeks from now, I think we'll be pretty close

0:09:24.840 --> 0:09:27.360
<v Speaker 1>to wrapping this whole thing up. And there are a

0:09:27.360 --> 0:09:29.880
<v Speaker 1>couple of important parts of this that need to be

0:09:30.280 --> 0:09:35.280
<v Speaker 1>handled before that happens. And anyway, the United Kingdom refused

0:09:35.280 --> 0:09:39.560
<v Speaker 1>to get involved at all in this conflict. They weren't

0:09:39.559 --> 0:09:42.920
<v Speaker 1>there by our side. And so the President had some

0:09:43.040 --> 0:09:47.800
<v Speaker 1>advice for Keir Starmer and Great Britain. By your energy

0:09:47.840 --> 0:09:50.840
<v Speaker 1>from the US, because we have plenty or number two

0:09:52.040 --> 0:09:55.400
<v Speaker 1>build up some delayed courage, go to the Strait and

0:09:55.640 --> 0:09:59.120
<v Speaker 1>just take it. In other words, protect the free flow

0:09:59.160 --> 0:10:02.400
<v Speaker 1>of oil at mark prices. And he added that the

0:10:02.480 --> 0:10:05.559
<v Speaker 1>UK had to learn how to fight for yourself because

0:10:05.600 --> 0:10:09.240
<v Speaker 1>the US will not be there to help you anymore,

0:10:09.280 --> 0:10:12.880
<v Speaker 1>just like you were not there for US. Iran has

0:10:12.880 --> 0:10:19.199
<v Speaker 1>been essentially decimated. The hard part is done. Go get

0:10:19.240 --> 0:10:23.560
<v Speaker 1>your own oil. Now, why should the US be spending

0:10:23.679 --> 0:10:29.600
<v Speaker 1>a whopping nine hundred and eighty billion dollars when France

0:10:29.920 --> 0:10:34.679
<v Speaker 1>and Great Britain and Spain and Italy and other European

0:10:34.720 --> 0:10:40.440
<v Speaker 1>countries won't even stand with us. When there's such moral clarity.

0:10:40.559 --> 0:10:44.080
<v Speaker 1>What has happened to the continent of Europe that you

0:10:44.280 --> 0:10:48.840
<v Speaker 1>think would have memories of World War Two and the

0:10:49.000 --> 0:10:54.440
<v Speaker 1>Holocaust and Hitler and fascism and Mussolini, you know, and

0:10:54.520 --> 0:10:57.920
<v Speaker 1>of course the never ending threat that is, you know

0:10:58.080 --> 0:11:02.680
<v Speaker 1>now the former Soviet Union, Russia and Putin and that

0:11:02.920 --> 0:11:08.000
<v Speaker 1>did they not realize that if they come calling after

0:11:08.040 --> 0:11:12.360
<v Speaker 1>the way they're acting here, that Donald Trump is not

0:11:12.480 --> 0:11:15.560
<v Speaker 1>going to be that interested in helping them. And I

0:11:15.640 --> 0:11:19.520
<v Speaker 1>can't blame them, and I don't think moving forward we

0:11:19.559 --> 0:11:23.480
<v Speaker 1>could really depend on the NATO alliance at all to

0:11:23.559 --> 0:11:28.960
<v Speaker 1>have our back now, the President had said, and so

0:11:29.120 --> 0:11:33.800
<v Speaker 1>far I think ten of the twenty ships oil tankers

0:11:34.480 --> 0:11:37.839
<v Speaker 1>have been given. The concession came from the Terranian leaders,

0:11:37.840 --> 0:11:41.200
<v Speaker 1>whoever it is that they're talking to, the Secretary of State,

0:11:41.240 --> 0:11:43.520
<v Speaker 1>Mark or Rubio says, the straight of hoorn moves will

0:11:43.520 --> 0:11:47.760
<v Speaker 1>open one way or the other, and this whole conflict

0:11:47.800 --> 0:11:50.080
<v Speaker 1>will come to a conclusion. One way or the other,

0:11:51.080 --> 0:11:54.880
<v Speaker 1>and Europe's climate policies offered no relief for gas prices there.

0:11:56.080 --> 0:11:58.680
<v Speaker 1>But you know, this is going to be a moment

0:11:58.880 --> 0:12:01.319
<v Speaker 1>in time where a Maria, because now after this is

0:12:01.360 --> 0:12:03.679
<v Speaker 1>all said and done, we're going to have to evaluate,

0:12:04.400 --> 0:12:06.880
<v Speaker 1>you know, what this alliance really stands for and whether

0:12:06.960 --> 0:12:08.320
<v Speaker 1>or not we want to be a part of it.

0:12:09.400 --> 0:12:11.400
<v Speaker 1>And I don't see why we're paying the bulk of

0:12:11.480 --> 0:12:17.520
<v Speaker 1>moneys for what the US. There are two main issues

0:12:17.559 --> 0:12:21.520
<v Speaker 1>that remain all these targets, has now been eleven thousand

0:12:21.559 --> 0:12:25.080
<v Speaker 1>military targets that have been hit. We have severe we

0:12:25.120 --> 0:12:29.000
<v Speaker 1>have destroyed their navy, We've destroyed their air defense systems,

0:12:29.040 --> 0:12:32.559
<v Speaker 1>We've destroyed much of their ballistic missile systems, not completely.

0:12:33.080 --> 0:12:36.200
<v Speaker 1>We've taken out as many drones as we can possibly find.

0:12:36.200 --> 0:12:39.000
<v Speaker 1>I'm sure they still have some. But those are not

0:12:39.120 --> 0:12:42.199
<v Speaker 1>the two big remaining issues that have to be dealt

0:12:42.200 --> 0:12:46.440
<v Speaker 1>with as we now look to wrap this up, maybe

0:12:46.600 --> 0:12:49.720
<v Speaker 1>even ahead of schedule, which would be nice. And I

0:12:49.760 --> 0:12:51.440
<v Speaker 1>know there have been people this is going to be

0:12:51.440 --> 0:12:53.959
<v Speaker 1>a forever war. It's going to be like Iraq in Afghanistan,

0:12:54.000 --> 0:12:57.760
<v Speaker 1>not under President Trumpet's not and those people making those proclamations.

0:12:57.840 --> 0:13:00.200
<v Speaker 1>Don't know what the hell they're talking about. Never I've

0:13:00.240 --> 0:13:02.920
<v Speaker 1>known what the hell they're talking about. Donald Trump did

0:13:02.960 --> 0:13:07.760
<v Speaker 1>this because he's doing BB's bidding, in Israel's bidding. That's

0:13:07.840 --> 0:13:11.880
<v Speaker 1>never been true, and it's not true today. He's listening

0:13:11.920 --> 0:13:15.160
<v Speaker 1>to talk show hosts like Mark Levin and Sean Hannity.

0:13:15.280 --> 0:13:18.800
<v Speaker 1>That's not true either. The president is somebody that will

0:13:18.800 --> 0:13:23.320
<v Speaker 1>listen to everybody and then make up his own mind.

0:13:23.440 --> 0:13:25.520
<v Speaker 1>And I can promise you you can't talk him into

0:13:25.600 --> 0:13:29.679
<v Speaker 1>anything unless he sees the wisdom of it. And the

0:13:29.800 --> 0:13:34.960
<v Speaker 1>pivotal key moment was when the Iranians claim they had

0:13:36.160 --> 0:13:39.960
<v Speaker 1>an inherent right to nuclear weapons, that they were not

0:13:40.240 --> 0:13:44.400
<v Speaker 1>going to give it up, and acknowledged the sixty percent

0:13:44.559 --> 0:13:47.959
<v Speaker 1>enriched uranium which could be weapons graded ninety days. And

0:13:48.120 --> 0:13:51.280
<v Speaker 1>we learned during this conflict that we underestimated once again

0:13:51.960 --> 0:13:56.880
<v Speaker 1>their ballistic missile capability and the range of their ballistic missiles,

0:13:56.880 --> 0:13:59.319
<v Speaker 1>which means, with the help of the North Koreans, which

0:13:59.400 --> 0:14:02.360
<v Speaker 1>is a problem and of itself, that they could have

0:14:02.440 --> 0:14:05.600
<v Speaker 1>had a nuclear warhead enough for eleven nuclear weapons and

0:14:05.760 --> 0:14:11.719
<v Speaker 1>building towards an intercontinental ballistic missile. That's why Donald Trump acted, though.

0:14:11.760 --> 0:14:16.040
<v Speaker 1>The two things that remain is making sure and I

0:14:16.040 --> 0:14:19.520
<v Speaker 1>don't know the process of this now. The Israelis believe

0:14:19.600 --> 0:14:25.520
<v Speaker 1>that they can actually degrade or bury literally underground forever

0:14:26.520 --> 0:14:30.360
<v Speaker 1>the sixty percent enriched uranium. I don't know if it's that,

0:14:30.560 --> 0:14:32.720
<v Speaker 1>if it's removal, I don't know what it's gonna take.

0:14:32.800 --> 0:14:36.680
<v Speaker 1>It's way beyond my level of expertise. But you can't.

0:14:37.160 --> 0:14:39.400
<v Speaker 1>You have to ensure it never gets in the wrong hands.

0:14:39.440 --> 0:14:42.040
<v Speaker 1>That you have to make sure of. And the strata

0:14:42.080 --> 0:14:47.000
<v Speaker 1>horror moves more complicated, less impactful to us. And I'm

0:14:47.040 --> 0:14:49.000
<v Speaker 1>not sure whether or not Europe will wake up to

0:14:49.040 --> 0:14:51.960
<v Speaker 1>that factor or not. And I don't really care. I

0:14:52.000 --> 0:14:54.800
<v Speaker 1>think we're gonna have a long discussion about our relationship

0:14:54.840 --> 0:15:05.560
<v Speaker 1>with Europe post this conflict. I knew he should pull

0:15:05.640 --> 0:15:10.240
<v Speaker 1>up Winston Churchill and blood and tile, tears and sweat

0:15:11.080 --> 0:15:17.880
<v Speaker 1>and remind our friends across the pond of what Winston

0:15:18.000 --> 0:15:24.840
<v Speaker 1>Churchill once admonished their their continent about and mobilized not

0:15:24.880 --> 0:15:29.560
<v Speaker 1>only a nation, but a continent against the monstrous tyranny,

0:15:29.800 --> 0:15:34.120
<v Speaker 1>because clearly they've forgotten the lessons. Here's Starmer's to me,

0:15:35.040 --> 0:15:39.440
<v Speaker 1>He's nothing but Neville Chamberlain in our time, sad pathetic.

0:15:39.520 --> 0:15:42.320
<v Speaker 1>Macrona is even worse. Spain is even worse.

<v Speaker 4>I did it in front of you, and you know it.

0:17:14.200 --> 0:17:16.960
<v Speaker 1>You take that pretty good in front of me, no doubt. No,

0:17:17.520 --> 0:17:20.000
<v Speaker 1>I'm looking at Europe. I'm looking at the NATO Alliance

0:17:20.200 --> 0:17:23.440
<v Speaker 1>and when this is all said and done, and we're

0:17:23.440 --> 0:17:28.080
<v Speaker 1>looking at sooner rather than later, and the ceasefire ABCS

0:17:28.119 --> 0:17:30.720
<v Speaker 1>are very very straightforward. Has The New York posted a

0:17:30.720 --> 0:17:35.639
<v Speaker 1>good editorial about this today And it's simple. Now, this

0:17:35.680 --> 0:17:39.320
<v Speaker 1>will either happen the Iranians that are in power that

0:17:39.400 --> 0:17:42.800
<v Speaker 1>have given the president permission to have twenty oil tankers

0:17:42.840 --> 0:17:45.720
<v Speaker 1>passed through the straight or hor moves as evidence. It's

0:17:45.720 --> 0:17:49.359
<v Speaker 1>sort of like, you know, I kidnapped ransom and you

0:17:49.400 --> 0:17:51.479
<v Speaker 1>need proof of life. I guess they had to have

0:17:51.520 --> 0:17:53.960
<v Speaker 1>proof that they're actually in charge and have the ability

0:17:54.480 --> 0:17:57.000
<v Speaker 1>to show that they're in charge. So they're allowing these

0:17:57.040 --> 0:17:59.639
<v Speaker 1>twenty tankers to pass through. The first ten already went

0:17:59.640 --> 0:18:01.520
<v Speaker 1>through it. I think we might have had all twenty

0:18:01.560 --> 0:18:05.720
<v Speaker 1>to go through. I'm not sure, but if you look

0:18:05.760 --> 0:18:11.159
<v Speaker 1>at it, there's really two major objectives that are left.

0:18:11.440 --> 0:18:14.200
<v Speaker 1>I know that the world would like us to keep

0:18:14.240 --> 0:18:18.359
<v Speaker 1>the straight o Horn moves open. I don't think that

0:18:18.400 --> 0:18:23.880
<v Speaker 1>should be an America only effort. I just don't, considering

0:18:23.920 --> 0:18:27.400
<v Speaker 1>we don't get our energy from there, and frankly, after

0:18:27.440 --> 0:18:30.040
<v Speaker 1>the way Europe has acted, I'd like to put that

0:18:30.119 --> 0:18:34.919
<v Speaker 1>on them. You know, Taran also will have to surrender,

0:18:35.560 --> 0:18:40.359
<v Speaker 1>with serious verification and monitoring of their compliance. But they're

0:18:40.359 --> 0:18:43.960
<v Speaker 1>gonna have to either voluntarily or somehow we will degrade,

0:18:44.000 --> 0:18:49.159
<v Speaker 1>diminish or make it completely unaccessible, inaccessible, sorry, excuse me,

0:18:50.880 --> 0:18:55.720
<v Speaker 1>any of the sixty percent of riched uranium. That's it now.

0:18:55.920 --> 0:19:00.520
<v Speaker 1>The Iranian whoever the Iranian leadership is now, imagine we

0:19:00.600 --> 0:19:04.280
<v Speaker 1>know where they are. I would imagine we could probably

0:19:04.359 --> 0:19:06.840
<v Speaker 1>take them out, just like we took out Ali Hamani

0:19:07.000 --> 0:19:10.320
<v Speaker 1>and his top leadership, and then the next level of leadership,

0:19:10.359 --> 0:19:13.040
<v Speaker 1>then the third tier of leadership, and all the other

0:19:14.119 --> 0:19:18.400
<v Speaker 1>leaders of the Revolutionary Guard and cuts forces and everybody

0:19:18.400 --> 0:19:21.240
<v Speaker 1>else in between. And I would imagine we could do

0:19:21.280 --> 0:19:21.720
<v Speaker 1>it again.

0:19:22.640 --> 0:19:22.760
<v Speaker 5>Now.

0:19:22.760 --> 0:19:25.399
<v Speaker 1>It's kind of hard to fathom that there are people

0:19:25.440 --> 0:19:28.439
<v Speaker 1>that didn't learn anything from Midnight Hammer and Epic Fury

0:19:28.480 --> 0:19:32.359
<v Speaker 1>and Roaring Lion. But I'm sure that if you're indoctrinated

0:19:32.400 --> 0:19:37.359
<v Speaker 1>into this sick, twisted, ugly mindset, that believes in convert

0:19:37.480 --> 0:19:40.080
<v Speaker 1>or die and things that you're doing God's will or

0:19:40.119 --> 0:19:44.080
<v Speaker 1>Allah's will and you'll be rewarded in heaven with seventy

0:19:44.119 --> 0:19:47.800
<v Speaker 1>two virgins. Maybe you think it's a righteous thing to die.

0:19:47.880 --> 0:19:53.000
<v Speaker 1>I don't know. But the sad reality is everything we

0:19:53.080 --> 0:19:56.919
<v Speaker 1>have been telling you about well first globalist organizations, that

0:19:56.960 --> 0:19:59.919
<v Speaker 1>they are meaningless and they are useless, and there's no

0:20:00.119 --> 0:20:02.240
<v Speaker 1>reason for the US to ever be a part even

0:20:02.280 --> 0:20:05.720
<v Speaker 1>of the UN. And why do we fund the majority

0:20:05.760 --> 0:20:08.720
<v Speaker 1>of it and spend billions of dollars every year? Why

0:20:08.760 --> 0:20:11.560
<v Speaker 1>do we Why are we a part of the the

0:20:11.680 --> 0:20:15.879
<v Speaker 1>WEF World Economic Form and all these other the iae

0:20:16.080 --> 0:20:19.080
<v Speaker 1>F from the UN, you know, looking into or a

0:20:19.280 --> 0:20:23.439
<v Speaker 1>IAEA rather looking into the Iranian capabilities as it relates

0:20:23.440 --> 0:20:25.920
<v Speaker 1>to nuclear weapons. They have been wrong again and again

0:20:25.960 --> 0:20:29.440
<v Speaker 1>and again, and they always favor I ran side, and

0:20:29.480 --> 0:20:34.240
<v Speaker 1>they always underestimate their true capability. And now that Europe

0:20:34.280 --> 0:20:37.000
<v Speaker 1>has turned their back on us and won't even let

0:20:37.080 --> 0:20:41.400
<v Speaker 1>us land our airplanes on our air basis as part

0:20:41.400 --> 0:20:43.879
<v Speaker 1>of a NATO alliance, then why are we going to

0:20:43.960 --> 0:20:46.840
<v Speaker 1>pay nearly you know, a trillion dollars a year in

0:20:46.960 --> 0:20:50.200
<v Speaker 1>NATO defense? And I think this is going to be reevaluated.

0:20:51.280 --> 0:20:54.439
<v Speaker 1>And the saddest part is when you listen to the

0:20:54.600 --> 0:20:57.679
<v Speaker 1>likes of Macrone and even now the Prime Minister of

0:20:57.720 --> 0:21:02.960
<v Speaker 1>Italy and the lead in Spain, and Kiir Starmer, the

0:21:03.000 --> 0:21:06.439
<v Speaker 1>Prime Minister of Great Britain. I'm like, how did this

0:21:06.640 --> 0:21:11.840
<v Speaker 1>continent deteriorate, diminished to such a large extent in such

0:21:11.880 --> 0:21:16.679
<v Speaker 1>a short period of time. How did they not remember

0:21:17.480 --> 0:21:23.040
<v Speaker 1>the lessons of Winston Churchill versus Neville Chamberlain. How did

0:21:23.040 --> 0:21:25.960
<v Speaker 1>they not see the emergence of evil back in that

0:21:26.080 --> 0:21:31.080
<v Speaker 1>time and then make a steadfast commitment never again? Because

0:21:31.280 --> 0:21:34.760
<v Speaker 1>how did how did Great Britain ever get to know Gozones?

0:21:34.800 --> 0:21:38.160
<v Speaker 1>How is that possible? Here's the reminder of the Great

0:21:38.200 --> 0:21:39.040
<v Speaker 1>Winston Churchill.

0:21:39.680 --> 0:21:42.199
<v Speaker 5>I would say to the House, as I said to

0:21:42.280 --> 0:21:46.199
<v Speaker 5>those who have joined the government, I have nothing you

0:21:46.280 --> 0:21:52.400
<v Speaker 5>offer for blood, toil, tears and strict you are spreading

0:21:52.520 --> 0:21:55.879
<v Speaker 5>up on the day, I will say it, the wage

0:21:55.960 --> 0:22:00.199
<v Speaker 5>war by sea lander there with all our might, with

0:22:00.280 --> 0:22:03.800
<v Speaker 5>all the strength that John can give us to wage

0:22:03.880 --> 0:22:08.520
<v Speaker 5>war against a monstrous turanny never surpassed in the dark

0:22:08.600 --> 0:22:11.439
<v Speaker 5>and lamentable catalog of human grid.

0:22:11.960 --> 0:22:16.240
<v Speaker 2>You are quite in our aim. Take an onstrain one word,

0:22:16.800 --> 0:22:21.679
<v Speaker 2>victory vic cred all costs vic cray in spite of

0:22:21.720 --> 0:22:26.400
<v Speaker 2>old kera victory, however long and hard the road may be.

0:22:27.160 --> 0:22:29.440
<v Speaker 5>But without victory, there has no survival.

0:22:32.119 --> 0:22:35.679
<v Speaker 1>He's correct, and I think that the more that we

0:22:35.720 --> 0:22:39.480
<v Speaker 1>will learn and what we already know shows that this

0:22:39.680 --> 0:22:44.439
<v Speaker 1>was a far greater, more existential threat not only to

0:22:44.520 --> 0:22:48.280
<v Speaker 1>the region but to the world that anybody knew. And

0:22:48.440 --> 0:22:53.360
<v Speaker 1>that's that's why Donald Trump undertook this action, and that's

0:22:53.400 --> 0:22:56.159
<v Speaker 1>why there were two There are two parts of this

0:22:56.280 --> 0:22:58.680
<v Speaker 1>mission that are left, and I think there will be

0:22:58.760 --> 0:23:01.120
<v Speaker 1>accomplished one way or the other, and fairly short order.

0:23:01.200 --> 0:23:05.120
<v Speaker 1>If the Iranians were smart, they would just negotiate their

0:23:05.119 --> 0:23:08.920
<v Speaker 1>way out of it, hand over their enriched uranium, open

0:23:09.000 --> 0:23:12.840
<v Speaker 1>up the straight o Hormuz and they can survive. That

0:23:12.880 --> 0:23:17.080
<v Speaker 1>would be their benefit. An Israeli new source reporting today

0:23:17.080 --> 0:23:21.280
<v Speaker 1>that recent bombing raids on Iranian nuclear sites indicate the

0:23:21.320 --> 0:23:24.520
<v Speaker 1>Pentagon has decided not to mount a risky ground force

0:23:24.680 --> 0:23:30.879
<v Speaker 1>operation to extract this enriched uranium. The alternative approach is

0:23:30.920 --> 0:23:36.200
<v Speaker 1>to neutralize the material by effectively burying it, making it

0:23:36.240 --> 0:23:41.080
<v Speaker 1>completely inaccessible, requiring at least a year for Iran to

0:23:41.200 --> 0:23:45.520
<v Speaker 1>even locate and or retrieve it, giving the US and

0:23:45.640 --> 0:23:49.480
<v Speaker 1>Israel the time needed to detect and disrupt any such

0:23:49.520 --> 0:23:53.399
<v Speaker 1>effort that would take another trip back, which would not

0:23:53.480 --> 0:23:56.879
<v Speaker 1>be the ideal situation, but certainly would take away the

0:23:56.920 --> 0:23:59.840
<v Speaker 1>imminent threat of them having access to this and rich

0:24:00.160 --> 0:24:04.440
<v Speaker 1>uranium now. They went on to explain the enriched uranium

0:24:04.520 --> 0:24:07.800
<v Speaker 1>stored in these lead containers holding about ten to twenty

0:24:07.920 --> 0:24:12.400
<v Speaker 1>kilograms each can be rendered inaccessible by bombing the complete

0:24:12.400 --> 0:24:17.200
<v Speaker 1>surrounding area, blocking any and all access points, any and

0:24:17.280 --> 0:24:21.400
<v Speaker 1>all tunnels, and we know the three locations where they

0:24:21.400 --> 0:24:25.639
<v Speaker 1>are believed to be held. You know, for example, at Nance,

0:24:25.760 --> 0:24:29.120
<v Speaker 1>US forces struck the area surrounding the uranium storage site.

0:24:29.160 --> 0:24:33.399
<v Speaker 1>Earlier this month. Similar strikes were likely carried out Issavon,

0:24:34.520 --> 0:24:38.119
<v Speaker 1>which is described as a large ammunition depot that was targeted.

0:24:38.840 --> 0:24:41.840
<v Speaker 1>It appears the US took care not to disperse or

0:24:41.880 --> 0:24:45.280
<v Speaker 1>directly hit the enriched uranium itself, in part to avoid

0:24:45.400 --> 0:24:50.320
<v Speaker 1>creating radioactive contamination in nearby areas. Instead, the strikes targeted

0:24:50.320 --> 0:24:55.119
<v Speaker 1>surrounding infrastructure, sealing off tunnels and access routes, leaving the

0:24:55.240 --> 0:24:57.879
<v Speaker 1>uranium buried beneath the rock more than one hundred meters

0:24:57.880 --> 0:25:01.359
<v Speaker 1>of rock, and as with the earlier strike at some

0:25:01.400 --> 0:25:06.320
<v Speaker 1>of these facilities, Iran's claimed that there was no radioactive contamination,

0:25:06.520 --> 0:25:09.120
<v Speaker 1>suggest that the goal was not to destroy the uranium,

0:25:09.160 --> 0:25:12.800
<v Speaker 1>but to entomb it under layers and layers of rock

0:25:12.840 --> 0:25:16.320
<v Speaker 1>and soil and concrete, and of course with satellite ability,

0:25:16.320 --> 0:25:22.119
<v Speaker 1>communications observations, INTEL, you know, US operational activity indicates a

0:25:22.119 --> 0:25:25.040
<v Speaker 1>decision to bury it. So we'll see. Now we do

0:25:25.119 --> 0:25:28.000
<v Speaker 1>have the Marines there. Ideally we would not put any

0:25:28.000 --> 0:25:31.080
<v Speaker 1>boots on the ground unless they feel like the only

0:25:31.240 --> 0:25:34.040
<v Speaker 1>option solution would be to grab it if they won't

0:25:34.080 --> 0:25:37.840
<v Speaker 1>hand it over. But only time's gonna tell, and we

0:25:38.000 --> 0:25:43.200
<v Speaker 1>just don't know. None of this is easy, you know, Donald,

0:25:43.280 --> 0:25:45.400
<v Speaker 1>You know, on the other side of this, you never

0:25:45.440 --> 0:25:49.720
<v Speaker 1>can calculate how many lives likely could have been saved

0:25:49.840 --> 0:25:52.199
<v Speaker 1>if one day they did become a nuclear power and

0:25:52.240 --> 0:25:55.399
<v Speaker 1>they did use it. You just can't. You can't calculate

0:25:55.440 --> 0:26:00.760
<v Speaker 1>that we've we've now destroyed eleven thousand enemy targets in Iran.

0:26:01.800 --> 0:26:04.680
<v Speaker 1>Pete Hegseth did reveal that he made a secret trip

0:26:04.720 --> 0:26:07.359
<v Speaker 1>to the Middle East over the weekend. He said on

0:26:07.400 --> 0:26:09.840
<v Speaker 1>Tuesday he made a secret wartime trip to the Middle

0:26:09.840 --> 0:26:13.080
<v Speaker 1>East to meet with American troops fighting Operation Epic Fury.

0:26:13.720 --> 0:26:16.080
<v Speaker 1>He said this speaking during a press conference the press

0:26:16.080 --> 0:26:19.399
<v Speaker 1>briefing at the Pentagon, asserting that Morales high service members

0:26:19.440 --> 0:26:23.320
<v Speaker 1>are determined to finish the mission. He didn't disclose the

0:26:23.359 --> 0:26:28.200
<v Speaker 1>precise location. Trump says that we will the US will

0:26:28.280 --> 0:26:31.639
<v Speaker 1>learn in about a week if Iran's parliament speaker wants

0:26:31.640 --> 0:26:35.399
<v Speaker 1>a deal, or about a week away. Probably less than

0:26:35.400 --> 0:26:39.680
<v Speaker 1>a week at this point, but the Trump administration has

0:26:39.760 --> 0:26:43.520
<v Speaker 1>identified the Iranian official negotiating it is in fact a

0:26:43.520 --> 0:26:48.320
<v Speaker 1>parliamentary speaker. Obviously he's got some Jews because he's been

0:26:48.359 --> 0:26:53.080
<v Speaker 1>able to show proof of power by allowing specific tankers

0:26:53.119 --> 0:26:55.920
<v Speaker 1>that we have identified to go through the Straight of Hormuz.

0:26:56.920 --> 0:27:00.600
<v Speaker 1>The President reiterated the threat to target Iranian energy sites

0:27:01.280 --> 0:27:04.840
<v Speaker 1>if that deal is not reached. He said, great progress

0:27:04.880 --> 0:27:07.200
<v Speaker 1>has been made, but if for any reason a deal

0:27:07.280 --> 0:27:10.679
<v Speaker 1>is not shortly reached, which it probably will be, and

0:27:10.760 --> 0:27:14.000
<v Speaker 1>if the Hormuz Straight is not immediately open for business,

0:27:14.520 --> 0:27:17.640
<v Speaker 1>we will conclude our lovely stay in Iran by blowing

0:27:17.720 --> 0:27:21.480
<v Speaker 1>up and completely obliterating all of their electric generating plants.

0:27:21.560 --> 0:27:26.600
<v Speaker 1>OIO Wels and carg Island, and possibly all desalinization plants

0:27:26.920 --> 0:27:30.480
<v Speaker 1>which we have purposely not yet touched. This will be

0:27:30.480 --> 0:27:33.840
<v Speaker 1>in retribution for our many soldiers and others that Iran

0:27:34.080 --> 0:27:37.760
<v Speaker 1>has butchered and killed over the old regime's forty seven

0:27:37.840 --> 0:27:41.960
<v Speaker 1>year old reign of terror, he said. And this is

0:27:41.960 --> 0:27:46.119
<v Speaker 1>where so many people misunderstand Donald Trump, because if they

0:27:46.160 --> 0:27:49.240
<v Speaker 1>would listen to what he says and look at his

0:27:49.359 --> 0:27:53.280
<v Speaker 1>past actions, he's about as transparent as any president that

0:27:53.280 --> 0:27:56.920
<v Speaker 1>we've ever had in our lifetime. There's no surprises here,

0:27:58.040 --> 0:28:01.959
<v Speaker 1>very good talks with Iran, and I think the Iranians

0:28:02.040 --> 0:28:06.520
<v Speaker 1>know beyond any doubt what the consequences will be if

0:28:06.520 --> 0:28:11.240
<v Speaker 1>they don't comply. Don't have to see, and I'm hoping

0:28:11.400 --> 0:28:14.399
<v Speaker 1>they make the right decision. I don't know what we

0:28:14.480 --> 0:28:16.439
<v Speaker 1>do with Europe at the end of this conflict. I

0:28:16.480 --> 0:28:19.000
<v Speaker 1>just don't know. I don't know how you resolve that.

0:28:20.040 --> 0:28:23.600
<v Speaker 1>I mean, they're an unreliable ally that is far too

0:28:23.640 --> 0:28:26.760
<v Speaker 1>dependent on our money and our military might for their

0:28:26.800 --> 0:28:31.320
<v Speaker 1>own survival. And they are a continent that is in decline,

0:28:31.600 --> 0:28:37.760
<v Speaker 1>not exactly a reliable ally. Steve Hilton, apparently gubernatorial hopeful,

0:28:38.160 --> 0:28:41.560
<v Speaker 1>mister Fang Fang Eric Swolwell took at least six strips

0:28:42.000 --> 0:28:46.760
<v Speaker 1>to Doha back by Qatar Links sponsors from twenty twenty

0:28:46.920 --> 0:28:51.520
<v Speaker 1>through twenty twenty four, extending a pattern of foreign funded

0:28:51.600 --> 0:28:56.680
<v Speaker 1>travel that previously drew criticism. Did disclosures show that mister

0:28:56.760 --> 0:29:01.960
<v Speaker 1>fang Fang returned to Qatar repeated over multiple years. Slam

0:29:02.080 --> 0:29:04.400
<v Speaker 1>for taking an eighty four thousand dollars trip with a

0:29:04.400 --> 0:29:07.400
<v Speaker 1>few other lawmakers to the Golf Emirate in twenty twenty one,

0:29:07.480 --> 0:29:12.120
<v Speaker 1>sponsored by the US Katari Business Council. And how many

0:29:12.200 --> 0:29:15.160
<v Speaker 1>of these countries that I tell you about have reached

0:29:15.200 --> 0:29:17.440
<v Speaker 1>out to me wanting to talk to me? And I

0:29:17.560 --> 0:29:21.360
<v Speaker 1>refuse to talk to them? All of them, all of

0:29:21.400 --> 0:29:24.040
<v Speaker 1>them pretty much. Why do you think I refuse to

0:29:24.080 --> 0:29:25.760
<v Speaker 1>talk to them? And they don't get they don't have

0:29:25.800 --> 0:29:28.480
<v Speaker 1>my number directly, But why do you think I refuse

0:29:28.520 --> 0:29:30.400
<v Speaker 1>any outreach from these countries?

0:29:31.000 --> 0:29:33.360
<v Speaker 4>It's very hot there. I don't think you'd be very comfortable.

0:29:33.960 --> 0:29:38.440
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, just look, I've been to Riodd and Doha and

0:29:38.720 --> 0:29:41.760
<v Speaker 1>the UA, been to all of them. No, thank you,

0:29:42.120 --> 0:29:43.400
<v Speaker 1>I'm not looking for out.

0:29:43.240 --> 0:29:45.400
<v Speaker 4>Nothing is for free. I mean, let's be honest. They

0:29:45.440 --> 0:29:48.640
<v Speaker 4>all want something. I mean, the ultimate quid pro quote.

0:29:48.400 --> 0:29:54.360
<v Speaker 1>Joe, Why do I suspect that you meet with people?

0:29:54.880 --> 0:29:57.160
<v Speaker 1>You say you know I have a business. Are you

0:29:57.200 --> 0:29:59.520
<v Speaker 1>interested in investing? Why do I think I'd be pretty

0:29:59.520 --> 0:30:03.360
<v Speaker 1>successful in that endeavor. I have no interest none.

0:30:04.320 --> 0:30:06.160
<v Speaker 4>Well, you're a little busy anyway. You gotta tell them,

0:30:06.320 --> 0:30:08.400
<v Speaker 4>you know, I have thirty nine shows. I'm not able

0:30:08.440 --> 0:30:09.760
<v Speaker 4>to do it at this time, but thank you.

0:30:09.680 --> 0:30:12.760
<v Speaker 1>For thirty nine. You're overestimating how many shows I I have?

0:30:12.840 --> 0:30:17.880
<v Speaker 1>Three mm, you think I have thirty nine?

0:30:18.240 --> 0:30:20.400
<v Speaker 4>Maybe I think with all of the projects that you're

0:30:20.400 --> 0:30:21.960
<v Speaker 4>working on, all the things you got going on, the

0:30:22.000 --> 0:30:24.080
<v Speaker 4>last thing you got time for is going anywhere to Qatar.

0:30:24.360 --> 0:30:27.840
<v Speaker 1>Okay, with all due respect, pot Kettle, you know, I

0:30:27.880 --> 0:30:28.280
<v Speaker 1>hear you.

0:30:29.160 --> 0:30:31.800
<v Speaker 4>I but nobody's calling me from Qatar. I don't have

0:30:31.840 --> 0:30:33.760
<v Speaker 4>the same problems. I'm just saying, well.

0:30:33.680 --> 0:30:36.640
<v Speaker 1>They didn't try that hard because but I have no

0:30:36.680 --> 0:30:40.240
<v Speaker 1>interest in meeting with these countries. I just I've always

0:30:40.320 --> 0:30:44.760
<v Speaker 1>felt that countries in the Mid East, a lot of

0:30:44.800 --> 0:30:48.600
<v Speaker 1>countries in the Mid East, I won't speak that generally unfortunately,

0:30:48.840 --> 0:30:53.400
<v Speaker 1>very transactional, and I want to be free from any

0:30:53.440 --> 0:30:59.960
<v Speaker 1>transactional anything that's every country there, and I suspect that

0:31:00.120 --> 0:31:02.280
<v Speaker 1>people want to influence other people. I don't know. Maybe

0:31:02.280 --> 0:31:05.880
<v Speaker 1>I'm wrong. I'm guessing. I don't know for sure, just

0:31:06.000 --> 0:31:09.400
<v Speaker 1>my gut. My gut is you know, not steered me

0:31:09.440 --> 0:31:17.120
<v Speaker 1>wrong so far in my life? Why can the NATO's

0:31:17.720 --> 0:31:21.520
<v Speaker 1>alliance survive after the actions of Eurob'll check in with

0:31:21.600 --> 0:31:25.640
<v Speaker 1>James Robbins, former special assistant to Defense Secretary Rumsfeld, and

0:31:25.760 --> 0:31:28.720
<v Speaker 1>with the Institute of World Politics and Matt Towry on

0:31:28.760 --> 0:31:29.800
<v Speaker 1>the polls straight Ahead
