Speaker 1: It is difficult to find the words to describe the
Speaker 1: madness as we begin this August of twenty twenty six,
Speaker 1: but we must try, because the world aspiraling into a
Speaker 1: place of danger it has not visited in many, many decades.
Speaker 1: This is the warning. The war that Donald Trump started
Speaker 1: is spreading the war that he claimed was won. Here,
Speaker 1: how hopeful are you that this piece deal will work?
Speaker 2: I will be wrong.
Speaker 3: You're talking about to end it? Well, I think we're
Speaker 3: going to end it. I can't tell you for sure.
Speaker 3: You know, I don't like to say this. We've won
Speaker 3: this with this war has been won. The only one
Speaker 3: that likes to keep it going is the fake news.
Speaker 1: And here that we're doing.
Speaker 4: Very well on that front. But the meeting in Doha
Speaker 4: is going to be perhaps important, perhaps not. We're going
Speaker 4: to find down. But we're winning militarily. It's almost one militarily,
Speaker 4: I would say, uh. And it's really very simple, SI
Speaker 4: denuclearization of Iran. We don't want them to have a
Speaker 4: nuclear weapon, and they're not going to have a nuclear weapon,
Speaker 4: and they've agreed to that no offense.
Speaker 1: And here they about reminding.
Speaker 2: The seaside and the policy not gone.
Speaker 4: Well, I think we just want to win, you know,
Speaker 4: we just want to We're doing very well.
Speaker 2: We're trying to be nice as nice as you can be,
Speaker 2: and you know, situation like that.
Speaker 4: But you know they're they're being decimated.
Speaker 2: They have no navy, they have no airports, they have
Speaker 2: no anti aircraft.
Speaker 4: Does I mean they don't have any capability? They have
Speaker 4: some to bear lily.
Speaker 1: And dozens of more times has escalated Russia, Ukraine striking
Speaker 1: Iranian ships in the Caspian Seas, a dozen different countries
Speaker 1: and a dozen militia groups all fighting. Donald Trump, as
Speaker 1: is typical, makes a threat he will obliterate Iran. He
Speaker 1: will say he has already obliterated Iran, he will declare victory.
Speaker 1: Then he will need to make new threats because it
Speaker 1: was all fantasy. America is losing a war to a
Speaker 1: country that doesn't have a navy and doesn't have an
Speaker 1: air force, but does have a strategy, not the whims
Speaker 1: of a reality show president dictating the day. The War
Speaker 1: Department is a joke led by a bigger one. And
Speaker 1: when you think about what's going on, the insanity of
Speaker 1: this moment, appreciate there's more war coming. Here's little Marco
Speaker 1: daring to allege that opposition to his stupidity and incompetence
Speaker 1: is a function of treachery against the United States.
Speaker 5: People can argue that we shouldn't do with it. And
Speaker 5: I know there are plenty of people in American academia
Speaker 5: and frankly, an American press that sympathize with a Cuban
Speaker 5: regime and have for very long time. Part of it
Speaker 5: is motivated by their anti Americanism, and part of it
Speaker 5: is motivated by ideological affinity. There are plenty, There are
Speaker 5: enough people in key nodes of our society, including professors.
Speaker 5: But frankly, in the past, we've seen people within our
Speaker 5: own government that sympathized with the Cuban regime. It's the
Speaker 5: way they get spies without paying them. But it doesn't
Speaker 5: mean we can ignore this threat. Put aside for a moment,
Speaker 5: my history, the fact that I'm Cuban American, the fact
Speaker 5: that I grew up in Miami. This is ninety miles
Speaker 5: from our shores, a failed state, ninety miles from our
Speaker 5: shores that happens to be aligned with adversaries to the
Speaker 5: United States is a national security threat to our country.
Speaker 1: Here's Donald Trump threatening that by the end of his term,
Speaker 1: the eich Loss will be complete, America will have Greenland.
Speaker 6: Here's another question. You're also still looking at Greenland. I
Speaker 6: made a prediction on this program that before you left office,
Speaker 6: the Greenland would be under our operational control. It's still
Speaker 6: incredibly important to defending the Western hemisphere, isn't it.
Speaker 1: Yeah, you'll be right if you took that.
Speaker 2: Yeah, you'll be read.
Speaker 7: No, they want to do something very important.
Speaker 2: H Gleenland's important, you know, from our standpoint, not from
Speaker 2: their standpoint, but from our standpoint. Each brings that Ben Ashley.
Speaker 1: And here he is again making empty threats.
Speaker 2: We're also asked by Red very strongly. Actually, they said,
Speaker 2: would like to make a deal. Now, you know, I
Speaker 2: don't know what they say, because a lot of times
Speaker 2: they'll say that to me and then they go out
Speaker 2: and say, we don't know what he's talking about. Obviously,
Speaker 2: they don't want to be attacked, and they they knew
Speaker 2: the extent of the attack because they saw it. For me.
Speaker 2: What happens now, Well, now what we're doing is we're
Speaker 2: talking to them in the form of a negotiation. It
Speaker 2: begins tomorrow afternoon and we'll see if that Joe I'd
Speaker 2: love to do that and save a lot of lives,
Speaker 2: save a lot of a lot of unnecessary power. To
Speaker 2: be honest with you, we'll take many, many years to
Speaker 2: ever build it back. If it could, I don't think
Speaker 2: it would be even building at back.
Speaker 7: We had an exact that would be the biggest attack
Speaker 7: since World War Two, and it would have been disastrous
Speaker 7: with them, and they didn't want us to do it,
Speaker 7: And frankly sodi.
Speaker 2: Arabia didn't want it either. They thought that a deal
Speaker 2: is eminent, and the deal is eminent having to do
Speaker 2: with the Hormos Strait and also the ultimately the nuclearization
Speaker 2: of them. So when I hear that, I say, well,
Speaker 2: do we want to go and be the severe Now
Speaker 2: there's a group of people that would like me to
Speaker 2: just do it.
Speaker 1: America is humiliated in the eyes of the world. America
Speaker 1: has never been weaker. Consequences of losing this war are staggering.
Speaker 1: More than one hundred billion dollars up in smoke. Our
Speaker 1: munitions are badly depleted. We are unprepared to stand up
Speaker 1: to China in the Pacific. The threats of American leaders
Speaker 1: guarded against for eighty years, we lay naked against the
Speaker 1: United States is on a path towards ruin, and it
Speaker 1: is the fault of one man and his court of sycophants,
Speaker 1: his poleop Buro in the United States Senate. The most
Speaker 1: easily manipulated man in the world has been manipulated into
Speaker 1: a catastrophe. The worst president in American history will soon
Speaker 1: have an election where we get to judge his performance.
Speaker 1: And there's only one acceptable outcome in this election, putting
Speaker 1: a check on his power. Because if ever there has
Speaker 1: been a leader whose power needed a check, it's this guy,
Speaker 1: the American fool in chief, and checking that power is
Speaker 1: essential before the things that have gone terribly wrong become
Speaker 1: catastrophes that are forever remembered. This is the warning. I'm
