WEBVTT - Buck Brief - Will Trump Strike the Mullahs and Free Iran?

0:00:11.697 --> 0:00:14.777
<v Speaker 1>You're listening to the Buck Sexton Show podcast, let make

0:00:14.777 --> 0:00:17.697
<v Speaker 1>sure you subscribe to the podcast on the iHeartRadio app

0:00:17.897 --> 0:00:22.737
<v Speaker 1>or wherever you get your podcasts. As President Trump going

0:00:22.777 --> 0:00:27.537
<v Speaker 1>to strike Iran, it's increasingly looking like that's the case.

0:00:27.577 --> 0:00:30.777
<v Speaker 1>In fact, some of you may know the answer, because

0:00:30.817 --> 0:00:33.217
<v Speaker 1>it could have happened by the time you listen to

0:00:33.337 --> 0:00:34.217
<v Speaker 1>this podcast.

0:00:35.337 --> 0:00:38.817
<v Speaker 2>It's of high concern for all of us.

0:00:38.817 --> 0:00:45.537
<v Speaker 1>Because, well, this is the sort of situation that can

0:00:45.537 --> 0:00:48.617
<v Speaker 1>get out of control very quickly. There's a lot of

0:00:49.137 --> 0:00:52.977
<v Speaker 1>concern about possible second order effects. What will Ron do

0:00:53.017 --> 0:00:53.577
<v Speaker 1>in response?

0:00:53.737 --> 0:00:54.457
<v Speaker 2>Here's what we know.

0:00:55.537 --> 0:01:03.497
<v Speaker 1>The Mullahs are running a theocratic totalitarian theocracy or a

0:01:03.577 --> 0:01:08.617
<v Speaker 1>dictatorship and a kleptocracy. Actually so, because they're stealing from

0:01:08.657 --> 0:01:12.257
<v Speaker 1>the people all the time. And it's enough people have

0:01:12.337 --> 0:01:18.897
<v Speaker 1>decided that the ruination of Iran is in fact not

0:01:19.137 --> 0:01:22.777
<v Speaker 1>something that they will sit idly by and allow to continue. Now,

0:01:22.777 --> 0:01:25.857
<v Speaker 1>I think that this would be great for the region

0:01:26.137 --> 0:01:29.457
<v Speaker 1>if you just had a different government, a democratic government

0:01:29.497 --> 0:01:34.537
<v Speaker 1>in Iran, for example. Wouldn't that make such a difference.

0:01:35.017 --> 0:01:38.057
<v Speaker 1>Wouldn't that be something that you know, they've had democratic

0:01:38.057 --> 0:01:39.337
<v Speaker 1>elections next door in Iraq?

0:01:39.577 --> 0:01:40.457
<v Speaker 2>It is possible.

0:01:42.017 --> 0:01:46.697
<v Speaker 1>We don't want this place to be a constant problem

0:01:46.777 --> 0:01:49.097
<v Speaker 1>for the whole region, really for the whole world. They've

0:01:49.137 --> 0:01:55.617
<v Speaker 1>got substantial oil supplies, oil reserves, and they've been funding

0:01:55.697 --> 0:01:58.537
<v Speaker 1>terrorism with that for a long time. Trump is now saying, look,

0:01:58.617 --> 0:02:03.337
<v Speaker 1>if you, meaning Iran, continues with the large scale slaughter

0:02:03.417 --> 0:02:06.697
<v Speaker 1>of protesters, you are going to be done. And now

0:02:06.697 --> 0:02:13.937
<v Speaker 1>there's also reporting up here of Iranian authorities who are

0:02:13.977 --> 0:02:18.657
<v Speaker 1>targeting starlink users Elon Musk. Starlink has been a means

0:02:18.657 --> 0:02:21.977
<v Speaker 1>of communication, right because the Iranians don't control those satellites,

0:02:22.337 --> 0:02:25.697
<v Speaker 1>they can't just shut it off. But Iran has cut

0:02:25.697 --> 0:02:29.657
<v Speaker 1>off public internet access no surprise there. While starlink is

0:02:29.777 --> 0:02:33.417
<v Speaker 1>illegal in Iran, there are some starlink terminals that have

0:02:33.457 --> 0:02:38.177
<v Speaker 1>been smuggled into the country and they have been able

0:02:38.217 --> 0:02:42.377
<v Speaker 1>to slow The government has been able to slow connectivity,

0:02:42.777 --> 0:02:46.457
<v Speaker 1>but there are still some people who are able to

0:02:46.457 --> 0:02:48.857
<v Speaker 1>get footage out of Iran of what's going on there.

0:02:49.777 --> 0:02:53.377
<v Speaker 1>And so if they're actually going to be tracking these

0:02:53.377 --> 0:02:58.377
<v Speaker 1>people down and executing them, possibly hanging them, Trump is

0:02:58.417 --> 0:03:00.457
<v Speaker 1>saying that he's going to he's going to unleash the

0:03:00.457 --> 0:03:01.217
<v Speaker 1>fury on Iran.

0:03:01.257 --> 0:03:01.897
<v Speaker 2>On the Mullas.

0:03:02.977 --> 0:03:06.897
<v Speaker 1>Let me just say this could be a huge pivot

0:03:06.937 --> 0:03:11.177
<v Speaker 1>point in the history of the twenty first century. And

0:03:11.497 --> 0:03:14.537
<v Speaker 1>I will reiterate somewhat what I said earlier when I

0:03:14.617 --> 0:03:17.257
<v Speaker 1>was with Clay on radio, and it is I think

0:03:17.297 --> 0:03:20.577
<v Speaker 1>that the deciding factor here is Trump and his role

0:03:20.617 --> 0:03:23.217
<v Speaker 1>as commander in chief and what he does. I do

0:03:23.337 --> 0:03:26.337
<v Speaker 1>not think the Iranian people on their own will be

0:03:26.417 --> 0:03:29.577
<v Speaker 1>able to topple this regime. I could be wrong. I

0:03:29.617 --> 0:03:32.097
<v Speaker 1>hope I'm wrong, but I don't think that's the case.

0:03:32.257 --> 0:03:36.897
<v Speaker 1>I think that it will require assistance from the United States.

0:03:36.977 --> 0:03:41.977
<v Speaker 1>You know, we got assistance in our revolution against King

0:03:42.057 --> 0:03:45.217
<v Speaker 1>George from the French, pretty substantial assistance.

0:03:46.297 --> 0:03:48.057
<v Speaker 2>We don't need that much, I think in this case.

0:03:48.137 --> 0:03:49.217
<v Speaker 2>But we don't need to do that much.

0:03:49.257 --> 0:03:51.337
<v Speaker 1>But there does need to be there has to be

0:03:51.417 --> 0:03:54.897
<v Speaker 1>something that helps with this final show. There has to

0:03:54.937 --> 0:04:00.097
<v Speaker 1>be some ability to call upon outside resources and help,

0:04:00.217 --> 0:04:05.297
<v Speaker 1>just because the people of Tehran and around the country

0:04:05.337 --> 0:04:10.257
<v Speaker 1>are quite literally outgunned. And it's another reason why the

0:04:10.297 --> 0:04:14.057
<v Speaker 1>way second Amendment we need it. You always have to

0:04:14.097 --> 0:04:16.697
<v Speaker 1>have the ability as a populist to fight back against

0:04:16.697 --> 0:04:19.297
<v Speaker 1>the tyrannical government. Otherwise you went up in a situation

0:04:19.377 --> 0:04:22.737
<v Speaker 1>like this where the government can be fully tyrannical and

0:04:23.097 --> 0:04:25.657
<v Speaker 1>execute people and go into their homes and take them

0:04:25.657 --> 0:04:28.577
<v Speaker 1>from their family members and torture them and do horrible things,

0:04:29.137 --> 0:04:33.417
<v Speaker 1>and you're largely helpless. You're largely helpless. So you have

0:04:33.497 --> 0:04:35.737
<v Speaker 1>these protests going on in the streets. I do wish

0:04:35.777 --> 0:04:38.817
<v Speaker 1>that you had an arm populace, you don't. I do

0:04:38.897 --> 0:04:42.817
<v Speaker 1>wish that you had a better likelihood of success for

0:04:42.857 --> 0:04:44.977
<v Speaker 1>the Iranian people to do this on their own, But

0:04:45.057 --> 0:04:47.897
<v Speaker 1>I think it's very, very unlikely. So it's really going

0:04:47.977 --> 0:04:51.017
<v Speaker 1>to come down to what President Trump thinks, what President

0:04:51.057 --> 0:04:55.977
<v Speaker 1>Trump decides here. There are reports that there have been

0:04:56.017 --> 0:05:03.177
<v Speaker 1>evacuations of US service members, members of our military from Cutter,

0:05:03.297 --> 0:05:07.457
<v Speaker 1>from the airbase there, and this is at least a

0:05:07.497 --> 0:05:12.457
<v Speaker 1>precaution in case of a major strike by the United States,

0:05:12.897 --> 0:05:16.217
<v Speaker 1>because what is Iran likely to do fire off a

0:05:16.257 --> 0:05:20.337
<v Speaker 1>bunch of missiles in retaliation out People have worried about this,

0:05:20.857 --> 0:05:22.297
<v Speaker 1>but you know, they said that about that. You know,

0:05:22.337 --> 0:05:25.057
<v Speaker 1>Trump was very clear too. Trump said, these are the

0:05:25.057 --> 0:05:27.577
<v Speaker 1>claims they made about the nuclear program and it turned

0:05:27.577 --> 0:05:30.497
<v Speaker 1>out not to be true, meaning that we struck their

0:05:30.577 --> 0:05:34.577
<v Speaker 1>nuclear sites and they did not rain down holy hell

0:05:34.697 --> 0:05:35.497
<v Speaker 1>fire upon us.

0:05:35.577 --> 0:05:36.657
<v Speaker 2>They were not able to.

0:05:38.217 --> 0:05:43.897
<v Speaker 1>Take out massive US military infrastructure or cause severe casualties

0:05:43.897 --> 0:05:45.897
<v Speaker 1>for US, So why would they be able to do

0:05:45.897 --> 0:05:46.497
<v Speaker 1>that this time?

0:05:47.337 --> 0:05:47.657
<v Speaker 2>Now?

0:05:47.737 --> 0:05:51.617
<v Speaker 1>The argument would be that this is the survival of

0:05:51.657 --> 0:05:54.297
<v Speaker 1>the Iranian regime at stake, and so they will lash

0:05:54.337 --> 0:05:59.177
<v Speaker 1>out in ways far beyond what we have seen thus far. Maybe,

0:05:59.857 --> 0:06:03.257
<v Speaker 1>But keep in mind, if we, let's say, strike some

0:06:03.297 --> 0:06:09.217
<v Speaker 1>strategic targets inside of Iran and just provide further support,

0:06:09.257 --> 0:06:11.697
<v Speaker 1>there's a lot of things we can do. Some of

0:06:11.737 --> 0:06:14.137
<v Speaker 1>it we would be talking about publicly. Some of it

0:06:14.137 --> 0:06:19.097
<v Speaker 1>would be of the covert variety. But if we did

0:06:19.137 --> 0:06:22.737
<v Speaker 1>do that kind of stuff, if we did take those

0:06:22.817 --> 0:06:27.977
<v Speaker 1>kinds of actions, the Iranians responding by trying to blow

0:06:28.057 --> 0:06:31.457
<v Speaker 1>up a lot of Americans, we have a much bigger,

0:06:31.497 --> 0:06:32.577
<v Speaker 1>better military than they do.

0:06:33.617 --> 0:06:34.577
<v Speaker 2>We know where they are.

0:06:35.577 --> 0:06:39.257
<v Speaker 1>We can own the sky in a matter of hours

0:06:39.937 --> 0:06:43.337
<v Speaker 1>over Iran if we want to. The Israelis are certainly

0:06:43.457 --> 0:06:45.977
<v Speaker 1>certainly willing to help out with whatever we are going

0:06:46.017 --> 0:06:49.657
<v Speaker 1>to need in terms of intelligence, air strikes, whatever it is.

0:06:50.537 --> 0:06:54.497
<v Speaker 2>So what exactly is the is the fear.

0:06:54.937 --> 0:06:57.297
<v Speaker 1>I understand the fear of the concern again spoke with

0:06:57.377 --> 0:06:59.017
<v Speaker 1>us on radio that we don't want to be in

0:06:59.057 --> 0:07:02.177
<v Speaker 1>a nation building exercise. I don't even think that's part

0:07:02.177 --> 0:07:05.017
<v Speaker 1>of the part of the conversation here. In fact, I

0:07:05.057 --> 0:07:07.497
<v Speaker 1>think that the Iranian regime is so ugly and so

0:07:07.737 --> 0:07:11.617
<v Speaker 1>vile and so evil that the notion of something worse

0:07:12.857 --> 0:07:18.017
<v Speaker 1>taking over is it's hard to fathom. I think somebody

0:07:18.097 --> 0:07:23.297
<v Speaker 1>within that existing mellocracy taking over. If you know, the

0:07:23.337 --> 0:07:26.537
<v Speaker 1>head of the IRGC currently or someone like that, who's

0:07:26.617 --> 0:07:30.137
<v Speaker 1>already a part of this thing, steps up and becomes

0:07:30.137 --> 0:07:32.657
<v Speaker 1>the day factor, well yeah, then it's just a perpetuation

0:07:32.697 --> 0:07:35.097
<v Speaker 1>of what we've already had. But if you truly have

0:07:35.177 --> 0:07:38.457
<v Speaker 1>a new regime, new power players, new people making decisions

0:07:39.057 --> 0:07:41.577
<v Speaker 1>in Iran, I don't see how it could be worse

0:07:41.697 --> 0:07:44.457
<v Speaker 1>really than what we have had up to this point.

0:07:44.937 --> 0:07:47.417
<v Speaker 1>I just don't think that's a realistic. Of course, it could.

0:07:47.577 --> 0:07:49.897
<v Speaker 1>Something can always be worse. I don't think that's a

0:07:49.937 --> 0:07:54.337
<v Speaker 1>realistic concern. So I wouldn't put that. I wouldn't waive

0:07:54.417 --> 0:07:58.777
<v Speaker 1>at against the benefits of trying to help these Remember

0:07:58.817 --> 0:08:01.577
<v Speaker 1>these protesters, really they're not just protesters, I mean they

0:08:01.857 --> 0:08:04.017
<v Speaker 1>they are calling for the end of the Iranian regime,

0:08:04.017 --> 0:08:06.257
<v Speaker 1>which they should. And this is not the first time

0:08:06.297 --> 0:08:09.057
<v Speaker 1>this has happened. Back in two thousand and nine, the

0:08:09.057 --> 0:08:13.377
<v Speaker 1>Green Revolution and the Obama administration did nothing.

0:08:13.857 --> 0:08:16.377
<v Speaker 2>Was completely useless and.

0:08:16.257 --> 0:08:19.097
<v Speaker 1>Not a surprise, but they were really, if anything, I think,

0:08:19.177 --> 0:08:21.617
<v Speaker 1>unhelpful because the Iranian people would have expected more.

0:08:21.657 --> 0:08:22.857
<v Speaker 2>But Obama was president.

0:08:23.217 --> 0:08:25.497
<v Speaker 1>Well Trump is president this time around, and that could

0:08:25.537 --> 0:08:28.937
<v Speaker 1>mean things are very very different in the end. Remember

0:08:29.417 --> 0:08:31.297
<v Speaker 1>how many years have we been talking about the nuclear

0:08:31.297 --> 0:08:33.417
<v Speaker 1>facilities and are we going to strike them? Should we

0:08:33.417 --> 0:08:35.537
<v Speaker 1>strike them? Is isually going to strike them? Trump did it.

0:08:36.537 --> 0:08:38.177
<v Speaker 1>I was in the Oval Office with the President the

0:08:38.257 --> 0:08:39.937
<v Speaker 1>day he did it. As it turned out, so it

0:08:40.057 --> 0:08:44.097
<v Speaker 1>was clay. It's a very historic day. And the Irunian

0:08:44.137 --> 0:08:47.417
<v Speaker 1>response was essentially nothing. So they had been working for

0:08:47.497 --> 0:08:50.857
<v Speaker 1>all these years, all these decades toward a nuclear capability.

0:08:51.337 --> 0:08:55.297
<v Speaker 1>It was blown up and by mostly by the Israelis,

0:08:55.337 --> 0:08:57.137
<v Speaker 1>but we also came in to finish it off with

0:08:57.177 --> 0:09:00.297
<v Speaker 1>the Bunker Buster, and the Iranians really didn't do anything

0:09:00.337 --> 0:09:05.177
<v Speaker 1>in response. I don't think we should overestimate or you

0:09:05.257 --> 0:09:07.497
<v Speaker 1>never want to underestimate your opponent, sure, but we also

0:09:07.497 --> 0:09:12.137
<v Speaker 1>shouldn't overestimate your opponents. Score I think there's very little

0:09:12.177 --> 0:09:16.537
<v Speaker 1>that Iran could do. Now, could they activate some Hesibala,

0:09:16.617 --> 0:09:24.337
<v Speaker 1>sell some IRGC KULDS force unit somewhere and have them,

0:09:25.457 --> 0:09:27.017
<v Speaker 1>you know, kill a bunch of innocent people. Yeah, of

0:09:27.057 --> 0:09:30.337
<v Speaker 1>course that's always a risk, but really any country could

0:09:30.337 --> 0:09:32.537
<v Speaker 1>do that if they chose to do that, and if

0:09:32.537 --> 0:09:34.417
<v Speaker 1>we trace that back to Iran, I mean, now we're

0:09:34.457 --> 0:09:36.417
<v Speaker 1>just going to go on a hunting expedition.

0:09:35.977 --> 0:09:38.617
<v Speaker 2>And blow up all of the leadership of the.

0:09:38.537 --> 0:09:41.817
<v Speaker 1>Iranian regime in their homes and in their buildings and

0:09:41.857 --> 0:09:46.297
<v Speaker 1>their fortresses, whatever they've got. If they do something like that,

0:09:46.337 --> 0:09:51.017
<v Speaker 1>we're just going to treat them like al Qaeda. So again,

0:09:51.297 --> 0:09:55.297
<v Speaker 1>is that the direction they want to go in? I

0:09:55.537 --> 0:09:58.537
<v Speaker 1>think it's very very unlikely. So my sense here is

0:09:58.537 --> 0:10:00.977
<v Speaker 1>that Trump is going to do something, and do something

0:10:01.337 --> 0:10:05.337
<v Speaker 1>pretty definitive or pretty substantial. I should say definitive is

0:10:05.337 --> 0:10:08.177
<v Speaker 1>a tougher one, but pretty substantial, and it's going to

0:10:08.257 --> 0:10:09.337
<v Speaker 1>come very soon.

0:10:09.537 --> 0:10:13.537
<v Speaker 2>But I don't know exactly. I'm not sure.

0:10:13.377 --> 0:10:16.137
<v Speaker 1>Anyone knows exactly than the President himself, because it's still

0:10:16.777 --> 0:10:20.017
<v Speaker 1>in the air, it's still being decided. But just think

0:10:20.057 --> 0:10:23.857
<v Speaker 1>about the chance here that the dictator of Venezuela could

0:10:23.897 --> 0:10:28.857
<v Speaker 1>be taken out and within weeks the molocracy of Iran,

0:10:28.897 --> 0:10:33.137
<v Speaker 1>which has been a complete nightmare for American foreign policy,

0:10:33.497 --> 0:10:37.657
<v Speaker 1>a thorn in our side, an adversary in the Middle East,

0:10:37.417 --> 0:10:41.857
<v Speaker 1>just the worst they could be gone to be a

0:10:41.897 --> 0:10:43.537

<v Speaker 1>I hope when you listen to this, we'll already have

0:11:43.097 --> 0:11:46.497
<v Speaker 1>an answer to what the actions are under way that

0:11:46.537 --> 0:11:47.217
<v Speaker 1>Trump has taken.

0:11:47.257 --> 0:11:51.017
<v Speaker 2>Maybe not, but we certainly live in.

0:11:50.697 --> 0:11:55.457
<v Speaker 1>Interesting times and I am hoping and praying for the

0:11:55.497 --> 0:11:58.097
<v Speaker 1>Iranian people. They deserve a better life than what they've

0:11:58.097 --> 0:12:01.817
<v Speaker 1>been given by the Islamo fascist maniacs who have been

0:12:01.857 --> 0:12:07.057
<v Speaker 1>running their country for decades and ruining a historically great

0:12:07.097 --> 0:12:11.857
<v Speaker 1>and proud people. The Persian people, the Kourds who live

0:12:11.857 --> 0:12:13.817
<v Speaker 1>in or on there's many different groups, these Ais, there's

0:12:13.817 --> 0:12:17.217
<v Speaker 1>all these different but in that region, the Persians are

0:12:17.217 --> 0:12:19.497
<v Speaker 1>the ones that people mostly think of and Farsie speaking

0:12:20.857 --> 0:12:24.417
<v Speaker 1>Farsie speaking Iranians, and they deserve something better than what

0:12:24.457 --> 0:12:26.217
<v Speaker 1>they have, and I sincerely hope that they're able to

0:12:26.257 --> 0:12:29.217
<v Speaker 1>get it, and that would be a sight of true

0:12:29.857 --> 0:12:33.137
<v Speaker 1>joy and it would be exhilarating, I think. And of

0:12:33.177 --> 0:12:35.817
<v Speaker 1>course our media doesn't want it to happen because Trump

0:12:35.857 --> 0:12:37.577
<v Speaker 1>would get credit for it, so they're hoping that it

0:12:37.577 --> 0:12:40.897
<v Speaker 1>doesn't happen. All the Democrat aligned media, all the people

0:12:40.897 --> 0:12:43.137
<v Speaker 1>who want Gavin Newsom or whomever to be the next president,

0:12:44.017 --> 0:12:47.777
<v Speaker 1>they are rooting against this, which is grotesque and pathetic

0:12:47.817 --> 0:12:51.577
<v Speaker 1>but true. We're rooting for the Iranian people, whether Trump

0:12:51.657 --> 0:12:52.337
<v Speaker 1>does something or not.

0:12:52.377 --> 0:12:55.897
<v Speaker 2>I hope that the Mullas fall shields high
