1 00:00:09,360 --> 00:00:11,959 Speaker 1: All right, everyone, all right, is ring that ring that 2 00:00:12,280 --> 00:00:14,640 Speaker 1: dang bell right there, man, Okay, there you go, four 3 00:00:14,640 --> 00:00:16,799 Speaker 1: o'clock Market's Clothes Bronn Wall Wall. 4 00:00:16,600 --> 00:00:22,560 Speaker 2: Street in New York City to We're open for business. 5 00:00:22,680 --> 00:00:23,200 Speaker 2: Check this out. 6 00:00:23,200 --> 00:00:25,279 Speaker 1: We made this graphic for you a couple of minutes ago, 7 00:00:25,560 --> 00:00:27,360 Speaker 1: and the market obviously has changed a little bit in 8 00:00:27,360 --> 00:00:30,440 Speaker 1: the last few minutes. This role that the graphic that 9 00:00:30,480 --> 00:00:33,040 Speaker 1: you Mad Dog and Ben put together. This is phenomenal 10 00:00:33,040 --> 00:00:35,360 Speaker 1: because I woke up this morning and that top row there. 11 00:00:35,400 --> 00:00:37,800 Speaker 1: So this morning the market opened this morning, Goal was 12 00:00:37,840 --> 00:00:40,600 Speaker 1: down three dollars ounce. Oil was ripping higher, three dollars 13 00:00:40,640 --> 00:00:42,640 Speaker 1: a barrel higher. Because everyone's worried about what was going 14 00:00:42,640 --> 00:00:46,040 Speaker 1: on in the Middle East. Bitcoin was getting slammed. Overnight. 15 00:00:46,120 --> 00:00:49,199 Speaker 1: Bitcoin got down to ninety seven thousand and change. It 16 00:00:49,280 --> 00:00:52,920 Speaker 1: was down four thousand dollars per bitcoin. Dow Jones was 17 00:00:53,240 --> 00:00:55,600 Speaker 1: down two hundred points, and NASDAK was down one hundred 18 00:00:55,600 --> 00:00:56,280 Speaker 1: and fifty points. 19 00:00:56,440 --> 00:00:59,920 Speaker 2: That was this morning. Somewhere around two o'clock. 20 00:00:59,480 --> 00:01:04,399 Speaker 1: Today, one o'clock, two o'clock today, everything flipped. And I'm 21 00:01:04,440 --> 00:01:07,520 Speaker 1: not making this stuff up, folks. Gold about half an 22 00:01:07,560 --> 00:01:09,400 Speaker 1: hour ago was up and now it's up even more 23 00:01:09,440 --> 00:01:13,240 Speaker 1: ten dollars an ounce. Oil down five dollars and fifty cents. 24 00:01:13,240 --> 00:01:13,760 Speaker 2: So look at that. 25 00:01:13,840 --> 00:01:15,640 Speaker 1: It went from up three dollars a barrel because people 26 00:01:15,680 --> 00:01:18,479 Speaker 1: were worried about the Middleast. We're worried by I Ran. 27 00:01:18,560 --> 00:01:20,360 Speaker 1: They produced a lot of oil. Is Russia going to 28 00:01:20,400 --> 00:01:22,720 Speaker 1: get involved? Or Russia produces a lot of oil. The 29 00:01:22,840 --> 00:01:25,160 Speaker 1: people were I was on chats this morning. People were 30 00:01:25,160 --> 00:01:27,960 Speaker 1: talking one hundred and fifty dollars a barrel oil. It 31 00:01:27,959 --> 00:01:31,120 Speaker 1: was up to seventy and change dollars a barrow, now 32 00:01:31,720 --> 00:01:32,360 Speaker 1: sixty six. 33 00:01:32,360 --> 00:01:34,240 Speaker 3: Dollars, down five dollars a barrel. 34 00:01:34,760 --> 00:01:36,160 Speaker 2: Down five dollars a barrel. 35 00:01:36,160 --> 00:01:37,880 Speaker 1: No one saw this, had people call me, oh, we're 36 00:01:37,880 --> 00:01:41,000 Speaker 1: gonna pay eight dollars for gas now. The fear mongering 37 00:01:41,040 --> 00:01:44,240 Speaker 1: on the left was insane. They were going absolutely crazy. 38 00:01:44,240 --> 00:01:45,800 Speaker 1: Give me the other graphic again. We're still on the 39 00:01:45,800 --> 00:01:48,320 Speaker 1: other graphic. And then look at the look at the 40 00:01:48,400 --> 00:01:51,160 Speaker 1: change in direction of the stock markets. It was down 41 00:01:51,160 --> 00:01:54,360 Speaker 1: two hundred two hundred this morning. The Dow jones up 42 00:01:54,360 --> 00:01:57,080 Speaker 1: three hundreds, almost four hundred points. Now as we speak, 43 00:01:57,400 --> 00:02:00,400 Speaker 1: the Dow is up three hundred and seventy five. So 44 00:02:00,480 --> 00:02:02,760 Speaker 1: went from down two hundred to up three hundred points 45 00:02:02,840 --> 00:02:04,920 Speaker 1: in a matter of a couple hours. NASDAK was down 46 00:02:04,920 --> 00:02:07,880 Speaker 1: one hundred and fifty points up close to one hundred 47 00:02:07,880 --> 00:02:08,359 Speaker 1: and eighty. 48 00:02:08,160 --> 00:02:08,920 Speaker 2: Three points right now. 49 00:02:08,960 --> 00:02:11,799 Speaker 1: So every mark, everything that people were expecting early in 50 00:02:11,840 --> 00:02:15,320 Speaker 1: the morning flipped and it went from very very serious 51 00:02:15,320 --> 00:02:18,960 Speaker 1: concern about the future of our markets and our equities 52 00:02:19,040 --> 00:02:22,280 Speaker 1: and our economy to a lot of confidence, folks, because 53 00:02:22,320 --> 00:02:24,560 Speaker 1: everything you see there Gold up is good, Oiled down 54 00:02:24,639 --> 00:02:27,320 Speaker 1: is good, Bitcoin up is good, Dow Jones up is good, 55 00:02:27,400 --> 00:02:30,880 Speaker 1: Nasac cup is good. Things got better on Wall Street. 56 00:02:31,680 --> 00:02:32,200 Speaker 2: All right, folks. 57 00:02:32,240 --> 00:02:34,480 Speaker 1: Our first guest is the director of the Center for 58 00:02:34,560 --> 00:02:39,560 Speaker 1: American Security at America First Policy Institute, known affectionately as AFPI. 59 00:02:39,720 --> 00:02:41,280 Speaker 2: Doctor Jacob Olador Jake. 60 00:02:41,360 --> 00:02:43,120 Speaker 1: Really good to have you, my friend, So can you 61 00:02:43,160 --> 00:02:45,280 Speaker 1: just bring us up to speed on the latest we 62 00:02:45,360 --> 00:02:49,520 Speaker 1: just heard. I believe ten rockets left Iran into cut 63 00:02:49,840 --> 00:02:52,440 Speaker 1: our military base, the US military base a Cutter, and 64 00:02:52,520 --> 00:02:55,720 Speaker 1: also one into Iraq. I've also heard, and this is 65 00:02:55,880 --> 00:02:59,480 Speaker 1: very very relevant, that we were giving advanced notice that 66 00:02:59,520 --> 00:03:01,920 Speaker 1: these rock we're going to be fired. And for me, 67 00:03:02,760 --> 00:03:04,800 Speaker 1: correct me if I'm wrong, that would be the Iranian 68 00:03:04,880 --> 00:03:06,919 Speaker 1: saying we need to save face here a little bit 69 00:03:07,520 --> 00:03:10,160 Speaker 1: without starting World War three by going too far. What 70 00:03:10,200 --> 00:03:12,480 Speaker 1: are your thoughts of this latest striking and where we 71 00:03:12,480 --> 00:03:13,120 Speaker 1: go from here. 72 00:03:13,600 --> 00:03:15,240 Speaker 4: Yeah, I think you hit the nail on the head. 73 00:03:15,240 --> 00:03:17,440 Speaker 4: It's great to be with you, Eric, That's exactly what 74 00:03:17,480 --> 00:03:19,519 Speaker 4: it is. I've been saying over the last few days 75 00:03:19,520 --> 00:03:22,560 Speaker 4: that Iran needs some kind of response to save face. 76 00:03:22,600 --> 00:03:25,440 Speaker 4: They don't have many options. There's another important data point 77 00:03:25,440 --> 00:03:27,680 Speaker 4: that I noticed over the weekend that Iran has pulled 78 00:03:27,720 --> 00:03:31,079 Speaker 4: back some of its commanders out of Iraq, some of 79 00:03:31,120 --> 00:03:32,400 Speaker 4: its militia commanders. 80 00:03:32,680 --> 00:03:34,680 Speaker 3: So it's you know, that's important. 81 00:03:34,760 --> 00:03:37,560 Speaker 4: And this is consistent, by the way, with what Iran 82 00:03:37,600 --> 00:03:40,320 Speaker 4: did after we took out Solimani back in twenty twenty. 83 00:03:40,560 --> 00:03:42,400 Speaker 4: They needed some kind of a response, and so they 84 00:03:42,440 --> 00:03:46,520 Speaker 4: fired those missiles out to an empty part of our 85 00:03:46,560 --> 00:03:50,200 Speaker 4: base out in Iraq. And so we can anticipate more 86 00:03:50,200 --> 00:03:54,000 Speaker 4: of this. Iran would be wise not to escalate into 87 00:03:54,040 --> 00:03:58,880 Speaker 4: any major strike, probably some cyber attacks as well, but 88 00:03:58,920 --> 00:04:01,680 Speaker 4: I think anything above that threshold will be a direct 89 00:04:02,360 --> 00:04:04,560 Speaker 4: attack on the United States and would be met with 90 00:04:04,600 --> 00:04:07,200 Speaker 4: a swift and decisive response by this pressent. 91 00:04:07,320 --> 00:04:10,400 Speaker 1: So I'd like to note also that your former Middle 92 00:04:10,400 --> 00:04:13,440 Speaker 1: East advisor to the Department of Defense. And the reason 93 00:04:13,480 --> 00:04:15,800 Speaker 1: why that's very relevant is over the weekend we saw Pete. 94 00:04:15,800 --> 00:04:18,839 Speaker 1: I'm sorry, Secretary Hegseth. Sorry, here's a colleague of mind. 95 00:04:18,880 --> 00:04:23,000 Speaker 1: Secretary Hegseth say that we quote obliterated the Iranian's ability 96 00:04:23,040 --> 00:04:27,400 Speaker 1: to develop nuclear weapon. Therefore, the question remains, should Israel 97 00:04:27,440 --> 00:04:30,520 Speaker 1: continue to bomb Iran? Because Israel is saying they're going 98 00:04:30,560 --> 00:04:33,000 Speaker 1: to continue, and they have in fact continued bombing Iran. 99 00:04:33,200 --> 00:04:36,200 Speaker 1: So if we've obliterated the threat, should they continue? 100 00:04:37,440 --> 00:04:38,000 Speaker 3: Well it's a. 101 00:04:37,960 --> 00:04:40,760 Speaker 4: Great question, actually, and so much of this actually goes 102 00:04:40,800 --> 00:04:43,120 Speaker 4: back to how much we actually know about Iran. You know, 103 00:04:43,160 --> 00:04:46,360 Speaker 4: they've for many years been lying, been deceiving the international community. 104 00:04:47,080 --> 00:04:51,039 Speaker 4: And Israel of course is discovering new sites, new aspects 105 00:04:51,040 --> 00:04:53,760 Speaker 4: of its nuclear program. It is the deepest it's been 106 00:04:54,720 --> 00:04:58,120 Speaker 4: ever in Iranian territory. So I think a lot of 107 00:04:58,120 --> 00:05:00,599 Speaker 4: this is learning as we're going along about what exactly 108 00:05:00,680 --> 00:05:03,280 Speaker 4: Ron has been up to all this time, how it's 109 00:05:03,279 --> 00:05:06,560 Speaker 4: pivoting currently. So this is a very fast moving target. 110 00:05:07,800 --> 00:05:10,120 Speaker 2: Well, let me frame the question the other way. 111 00:05:10,200 --> 00:05:14,320 Speaker 1: Should should the Israelis cease at our requests? Since we 112 00:05:14,440 --> 00:05:16,320 Speaker 1: quote unquote obliterated the threat. 113 00:05:17,240 --> 00:05:18,159 Speaker 3: No, I think hardly. 114 00:05:18,200 --> 00:05:20,320 Speaker 4: Well, first of all, look this is Israel has never, 115 00:05:20,440 --> 00:05:23,400 Speaker 4: in its history and in its doctrines asked anybody to 116 00:05:23,400 --> 00:05:26,080 Speaker 4: fight it's worse for it. And Nitagna has been clear 117 00:05:26,160 --> 00:05:28,080 Speaker 4: that he does not have a time frame on when 118 00:05:28,120 --> 00:05:31,880 Speaker 4: the objective is met. But this is consistent with Israel's 119 00:05:31,960 --> 00:05:34,760 Speaker 4: military operation, it's fight for its survival of the last 120 00:05:34,800 --> 00:05:38,880 Speaker 4: two years we have the President has been consistent and 121 00:05:38,920 --> 00:05:42,760 Speaker 4: his team throughout that Iron cannot obtain a nuclear weapon. 122 00:05:43,680 --> 00:05:47,479 Speaker 4: We have entered into that amid Israel's military efforts that 123 00:05:47,480 --> 00:05:48,320 Speaker 4: it alone is doing. 124 00:05:48,360 --> 00:05:48,440 Speaker 2: So. 125 00:05:48,520 --> 00:05:52,760 Speaker 4: I think Israel is entitled to obviously act in self defense. 126 00:05:52,760 --> 00:05:55,679 Speaker 4: As we've said, our objective here has only been taking 127 00:05:55,720 --> 00:05:59,960 Speaker 4: out these sites and as the President has said, continuing 128 00:06:00,120 --> 00:06:02,080 Speaker 4: to insist that are on come to the negotiating table 129 00:06:02,560 --> 00:06:07,960 Speaker 4: and completely stop its nuclear program diplomatically. But if it 130 00:06:07,960 --> 00:06:12,040 Speaker 4: becomes obstinate, refuses to do that through military options, of course, 131 00:06:12,400 --> 00:06:15,000 Speaker 4: as the President has said, more will be forthcoming. 132 00:06:15,279 --> 00:06:18,120 Speaker 1: Well, okay, yes, and he has and there is some 133 00:06:18,160 --> 00:06:21,760 Speaker 1: sort of disconnect, let's call it that. And again I 134 00:06:21,760 --> 00:06:26,080 Speaker 1: think it was a surgical strike. It apparently it accomplished 135 00:06:26,360 --> 00:06:28,880 Speaker 1: everything they were looking for. But here's the question. Since 136 00:06:28,920 --> 00:06:31,960 Speaker 1: the strike, we've had both sides. We heard Hegseth and 137 00:06:32,000 --> 00:06:35,240 Speaker 1: Vice President Vance say that this isn't is not about 138 00:06:35,400 --> 00:06:39,120 Speaker 1: regime change, and then President Trump kind of insinuated potentially 139 00:06:39,720 --> 00:06:42,640 Speaker 1: regime change if they don't come to the bargaining table. 140 00:06:43,200 --> 00:06:46,400 Speaker 1: What's your read on what's going on inside the Department 141 00:06:46,480 --> 00:06:47,680 Speaker 1: Defense in the White House right now? 142 00:06:48,320 --> 00:06:51,320 Speaker 4: Well, this is probably the most unified administration I've seen 143 00:06:51,320 --> 00:06:54,159 Speaker 4: in my lifetime, and certainly has been remarkable to observe 144 00:06:54,200 --> 00:06:58,120 Speaker 4: the last four or five months in action. And the President, 145 00:06:58,160 --> 00:07:00,840 Speaker 4: of course is a master with rhetoric, state craft, and 146 00:07:00,880 --> 00:07:02,520 Speaker 4: the art of the deal. You just have to read 147 00:07:02,520 --> 00:07:05,359 Speaker 4: his book to see. But you know, I think the 148 00:07:05,360 --> 00:07:08,200 Speaker 4: famous words apply, you know, take him seriously but not literally. 149 00:07:08,480 --> 00:07:10,760 Speaker 3: But if I was the Iranians, I'd probably be doing. 150 00:07:10,600 --> 00:07:14,800 Speaker 4: Both right now. And so, you know, I think the 151 00:07:15,040 --> 00:07:18,200 Speaker 4: basic messages it's over to you, you know, Hamina and 152 00:07:18,240 --> 00:07:21,560 Speaker 4: your team whoever you have left there. We do this 153 00:07:21,640 --> 00:07:23,920 Speaker 4: the easy way or the hard way, and we prefer 154 00:07:23,960 --> 00:07:26,200 Speaker 4: the easy way. But you now know a taste of 155 00:07:26,200 --> 00:07:27,200 Speaker 4: what the hard way looks like. 156 00:07:29,200 --> 00:07:31,000 Speaker 1: Before I get into the next area it do you 157 00:07:31,760 --> 00:07:33,840 Speaker 1: is there really ever going to be any piece in 158 00:07:33,840 --> 00:07:38,360 Speaker 1: the Middle East with with the fanatical clerics running the 159 00:07:38,360 --> 00:07:41,200 Speaker 1: country of Iran, and what's going to take to change that? 160 00:07:41,280 --> 00:07:43,240 Speaker 1: And there's not going to be a let's call him 161 00:07:43,240 --> 00:07:51,160 Speaker 1: a soft cleric or soft Mala or a less aggressive Malay. 162 00:07:51,280 --> 00:07:53,280 Speaker 1: This is what they want. They believe in Sharia, a 163 00:07:53,320 --> 00:07:55,240 Speaker 1: law above everything else. And if you don't believe in 164 00:07:55,240 --> 00:07:58,560 Speaker 1: Sharia law, you're an infidel. And by definition, with what 165 00:07:58,600 --> 00:08:01,400 Speaker 1: their religious beliefs are, if you're in infidel, you will 166 00:08:01,400 --> 00:08:04,800 Speaker 1: be put to death. So without a real government there, 167 00:08:04,840 --> 00:08:08,640 Speaker 1: without an elected government there, can we ever ever take 168 00:08:08,680 --> 00:08:09,440 Speaker 1: our eye off Iran? 169 00:08:10,800 --> 00:08:12,720 Speaker 4: That's a great question, and you know, a lot of 170 00:08:12,720 --> 00:08:16,560 Speaker 4: it depends on how it run's leadership right now reacts. 171 00:08:16,920 --> 00:08:18,400 Speaker 4: But you know, I think, you know, the same could 172 00:08:18,400 --> 00:08:18,920 Speaker 4: be said also. 173 00:08:18,960 --> 00:08:19,640 Speaker 3: The region is a. 174 00:08:19,560 --> 00:08:21,760 Speaker 4: Place of a lot of change and hope, and we've 175 00:08:21,800 --> 00:08:25,120 Speaker 4: seen many governments change their policies, their attitudes. The Abraham 176 00:08:25,120 --> 00:08:27,400 Speaker 4: Accords is a great example of that. And so I 177 00:08:27,440 --> 00:08:31,360 Speaker 4: personally think that, you know, ideology, destructive ideology can be 178 00:08:31,400 --> 00:08:35,800 Speaker 4: disproven very easily. We're seeing that with the running regimes, 179 00:08:36,000 --> 00:08:40,560 Speaker 4: ideology coming apart since October seventh, ironically for them, and 180 00:08:40,840 --> 00:08:42,840 Speaker 4: you know, if they want to continue this path, there's 181 00:08:42,840 --> 00:08:44,160 Speaker 4: only one direction that it goes. 182 00:08:47,120 --> 00:08:51,839 Speaker 1: Yeah, that thresh would be annihilation or regime change. I 183 00:08:51,840 --> 00:08:54,240 Speaker 1: guess that's where we are talking about regime change. At 184 00:08:54,240 --> 00:08:57,839 Speaker 1: some point, guys call up the truth social that Trump 185 00:08:57,840 --> 00:08:59,640 Speaker 1: put up a couple hours ago, and this is this 186 00:08:59,800 --> 00:09:01,920 Speaker 1: kind of interesting. Again, a lot of Americans are where, 187 00:09:02,000 --> 00:09:05,720 Speaker 1: especially MAGA. I mean, let's be honest. So MAGA kind 188 00:09:05,720 --> 00:09:08,000 Speaker 1: of has always believed that Trump was not going to 189 00:09:08,000 --> 00:09:09,800 Speaker 1: be involved in foreign wars. This is a bit of 190 00:09:09,840 --> 00:09:12,800 Speaker 1: a well, a certain faction of MAGA believes that this 191 00:09:12,880 --> 00:09:14,800 Speaker 1: is this is a tough pill to swallow, that we're 192 00:09:14,800 --> 00:09:18,960 Speaker 1: actually bombing another country, especially because could it lead to 193 00:09:18,960 --> 00:09:21,280 Speaker 1: World War three? Trump says, did I hear former President 194 00:09:21,360 --> 00:09:24,480 Speaker 1: Media d who is the former president of Russia casually 195 00:09:24,480 --> 00:09:26,960 Speaker 1: throwing around the end word and he says nuclear and 196 00:09:27,040 --> 00:09:30,160 Speaker 1: saying that he and other countries would supply nuclear warheads 197 00:09:30,160 --> 00:09:32,240 Speaker 1: to Iran. Did he really say that or is this 198 00:09:32,360 --> 00:09:35,120 Speaker 1: just a figment of my imagination? This is Trump talking here, guys. 199 00:09:35,400 --> 00:09:37,920 Speaker 1: If he did say that, and if it's confirmed, please 200 00:09:38,000 --> 00:09:39,960 Speaker 1: let me know immediately. The n word should not be 201 00:09:40,000 --> 00:09:43,960 Speaker 1: treated casually. The question is, and Putin himself has said 202 00:09:44,160 --> 00:09:48,480 Speaker 1: it's possible that what United States are aggression may have 203 00:09:48,520 --> 00:09:52,040 Speaker 1: opened the door to supplying weapons, whether it's the Russian 204 00:09:52,640 --> 00:09:56,439 Speaker 1: weapons or Chinese weapons to around me, meaning nuclear weapons. 205 00:09:56,480 --> 00:09:59,440 Speaker 1: Your thoughts on any if this is just saber rattling, 206 00:09:59,600 --> 00:10:01,360 Speaker 1: saving any of this. 207 00:10:01,400 --> 00:10:04,120 Speaker 3: Reel that is a very foolish statement. 208 00:10:04,200 --> 00:10:07,480 Speaker 4: And I think from the Russian leadership, I think President 209 00:10:07,520 --> 00:10:10,240 Speaker 4: Trump calls them out exactly on that. I mean, look, 210 00:10:10,280 --> 00:10:13,520 Speaker 4: Putin and his regime know very well that this is 211 00:10:14,080 --> 00:10:15,120 Speaker 4: you know, the next domino to. 212 00:10:15,160 --> 00:10:16,440 Speaker 3: Fall is his own. 213 00:10:17,200 --> 00:10:20,400 Speaker 4: You know, the Russians rely on Iran for their missiles 214 00:10:20,400 --> 00:10:24,320 Speaker 4: and drones to keep up their atrocities in Ukraine, and 215 00:10:24,360 --> 00:10:27,800 Speaker 4: so I think, you know, you know, there's gonna be 216 00:10:27,800 --> 00:10:30,599 Speaker 4: a lot of bravado out there from Russia, but the 217 00:10:31,200 --> 00:10:32,760 Speaker 4: reality on the ground is that they can't do a 218 00:10:32,760 --> 00:10:35,080 Speaker 4: whole lot and anything they do try along those lines 219 00:10:35,760 --> 00:10:37,840 Speaker 4: would be a major escalation and a new war that 220 00:10:37,880 --> 00:10:38,559 Speaker 4: they open up. 221 00:10:39,200 --> 00:10:41,120 Speaker 3: So I don't think they're looking for that right now. 222 00:10:41,320 --> 00:10:41,480 Speaker 2: Now. 223 00:10:41,520 --> 00:10:43,360 Speaker 1: The subject going on, and I don't have a ton 224 00:10:43,400 --> 00:10:44,439 Speaker 1: of time. I want to stay on this for a 225 00:10:44,480 --> 00:10:46,240 Speaker 1: couple of minutes, because it's near and dear to my heart. 226 00:10:46,280 --> 00:10:49,360 Speaker 1: I've been around long enough to recall the last time 227 00:10:49,800 --> 00:10:52,199 Speaker 1: that Iranians tried to close the strait of hormones, which 228 00:10:52,240 --> 00:10:54,480 Speaker 1: they're claiming they were going to do now or threatening 229 00:10:54,520 --> 00:10:57,200 Speaker 1: to do right now. Last time they actually had sort 230 00:10:57,240 --> 00:11:03,120 Speaker 1: of a planted within the strait, the aquatic bombs. So 231 00:11:03,160 --> 00:11:05,160 Speaker 1: if there are any ships that hit one of these, 232 00:11:05,200 --> 00:11:07,520 Speaker 1: they explode mines. 233 00:11:09,360 --> 00:11:10,720 Speaker 2: They're saying they may do it again. 234 00:11:11,559 --> 00:11:14,599 Speaker 1: Is this cause for blowing Iranian ships out of the 235 00:11:14,600 --> 00:11:15,360 Speaker 1: straight or foremast? 236 00:11:15,400 --> 00:11:17,839 Speaker 2: I will tell you this is a very important straight. 237 00:11:18,160 --> 00:11:20,040 Speaker 2: But let me just tell you this while we speak. 238 00:11:20,080 --> 00:11:23,200 Speaker 1: As we speak right now, crude oil is down four dollars, 239 00:11:23,640 --> 00:11:26,120 Speaker 1: down four dollars a barrow. Most people though would be 240 00:11:26,200 --> 00:11:28,440 Speaker 1: up ten dollars a barrow by now, but it's down 241 00:11:28,440 --> 00:11:31,360 Speaker 1: four dollars. No one's believing that the strait will get closed. 242 00:11:31,360 --> 00:11:33,160 Speaker 2: What do you think right right? No? 243 00:11:33,160 --> 00:11:35,080 Speaker 4: No, I think, And I could be wrong, but I've 244 00:11:35,120 --> 00:11:37,240 Speaker 4: said all along that that would be obviously that the 245 00:11:37,280 --> 00:11:39,720 Speaker 4: main scenario people are concerned about. It would be not 246 00:11:39,760 --> 00:11:44,120 Speaker 4: only economic suicide to Iran, but it would directly harm 247 00:11:44,160 --> 00:11:47,560 Speaker 4: its main economic patron, the Chinese the number one importer 248 00:11:47,640 --> 00:11:50,720 Speaker 4: of Iranian oil. That being said, also, I don't know 249 00:11:50,720 --> 00:11:52,880 Speaker 4: what's left of the Iranian navy that Israel has taken 250 00:11:52,920 --> 00:11:57,400 Speaker 4: out many of their ships, But so I think I'm 251 00:11:57,400 --> 00:11:59,959 Speaker 4: not too concerned that that'll be the case. 252 00:12:00,160 --> 00:12:01,560 Speaker 3: But again I could be wrong there. 253 00:12:03,520 --> 00:12:04,400 Speaker 2: I'm gonna leave you with one. 254 00:12:04,800 --> 00:12:09,040 Speaker 1: On the AFPII website, you quote Theodore Roosevelt. I believe 255 00:12:09,600 --> 00:12:11,800 Speaker 1: it says piece is only at its highest good if 256 00:12:11,840 --> 00:12:16,920 Speaker 1: it comes as the handmaiden to righteousness. Was our strike 257 00:12:17,120 --> 00:12:21,240 Speaker 1: on these three nuclear facilities within Iran? Was it righteous? 258 00:12:22,520 --> 00:12:23,600 Speaker 3: It was not only righteous. 259 00:12:23,800 --> 00:12:28,319 Speaker 4: I think it demonstrates President Trump's leadership as a peacemaker. 260 00:12:28,720 --> 00:12:31,600 Speaker 4: This is an end, or certainly the very first step 261 00:12:31,640 --> 00:12:33,960 Speaker 4: to an end, of the longest forever war in the region, 262 00:12:34,400 --> 00:12:37,199 Speaker 4: waged by the Irinan regime in February. 263 00:12:36,800 --> 00:12:37,760 Speaker 3: Of nineteen seventy nine. 264 00:12:38,320 --> 00:12:42,520 Speaker 4: And I think what we'll quickly see is the Iranians, 265 00:12:42,520 --> 00:12:45,720 Speaker 4: the Russians, the Chinese running to the table trying to 266 00:12:45,760 --> 00:12:49,360 Speaker 4: find a way to get the United States on their side, 267 00:12:49,360 --> 00:12:51,920 Speaker 4: which obviously won't be but they want peace, they want 268 00:12:51,920 --> 00:12:55,240 Speaker 4: to end their involvements. And I think getting at this 269 00:12:55,480 --> 00:12:58,320 Speaker 4: specific threat in the way that we did was exactly 270 00:12:58,360 --> 00:13:00,880 Speaker 4: the right step to take peace possible. 271 00:13:02,040 --> 00:13:05,160 Speaker 2: Will we see peace, what we see peace in the region. 272 00:13:07,280 --> 00:13:07,680 Speaker 3: Very soon. 273 00:13:07,800 --> 00:13:10,400 Speaker 4: We've already seen it under the first Trump administration with 274 00:13:10,400 --> 00:13:14,640 Speaker 4: the Abraham Accords. I think, you know, nobody in the 275 00:13:14,679 --> 00:13:17,920 Speaker 4: region obviously is more concerned about Iranian nuclear capability than 276 00:13:17,920 --> 00:13:21,199 Speaker 4: our partners there, and I think they're looking at Israel's actions, 277 00:13:21,200 --> 00:13:23,840 Speaker 4: They're looking what the United States did with a lot 278 00:13:23,880 --> 00:13:26,600 Speaker 4: of hope, a lot of confidence and excitement for a 279 00:13:26,640 --> 00:13:28,160 Speaker 4: new chapter of peace. 280 00:13:28,440 --> 00:13:31,880 Speaker 1: Great, very optimistic, Jacob, Thank you so much, doctor Elidar. 281 00:13:31,920 --> 00:13:33,720 Speaker 2: I appreciate your time.
