1 00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:03,360 Speaker 1: With thousands more ground forces heading to the Gulf prison, 2 00:00:03,440 --> 00:00:06,280 Speaker 1: Trump signals the fighting could soon be over, Quoting from 3 00:00:06,280 --> 00:00:08,840 Speaker 1: his social media posts from late today, we are getting 4 00:00:08,920 --> 00:00:11,879 Speaker 1: very close to meeting our objectives as we consider winding 5 00:00:11,920 --> 00:00:14,720 Speaker 1: down our great military efforts in the Middle East with 6 00:00:14,800 --> 00:00:16,160 Speaker 1: respect to the terrorist. 7 00:00:15,880 --> 00:00:16,919 Speaker 2: Regime of Iran. 8 00:00:17,440 --> 00:00:20,439 Speaker 1: The Hormuz Straight, he adds, will have to be guarded 9 00:00:20,480 --> 00:00:22,640 Speaker 1: and policed as necessary by other. 10 00:00:22,520 --> 00:00:25,040 Speaker 2: Nations who use it. The United States does not. 11 00:00:25,520 --> 00:00:28,160 Speaker 1: He finishes by saying, if asked, we will help these 12 00:00:28,200 --> 00:00:31,680 Speaker 1: countries in their Horrmuz efforts, but it shouldn't be necessary. 13 00:00:31,680 --> 00:00:34,839 Speaker 1: Once Iran's threat is eradicated. Importantly, it will be an 14 00:00:34,880 --> 00:00:38,760 Speaker 1: easy military operation for them, in short, getting out and 15 00:00:38,840 --> 00:00:42,120 Speaker 1: leaving American allies defend for themselves. As for the declaring 16 00:00:42,200 --> 00:00:43,880 Speaker 1: victory part, he did that as well. 17 00:00:43,880 --> 00:00:44,200 Speaker 2: Today. 18 00:00:46,360 --> 00:00:47,240 Speaker 1: Oh, I think we've won. 19 00:00:47,440 --> 00:00:50,080 Speaker 3: We've knocked out their navy, their air force, we've knocked 20 00:00:50,120 --> 00:00:54,520 Speaker 3: out their anti aircraft, we've knocked out everything. We're roaming free. 21 00:00:54,800 --> 00:00:57,640 Speaker 3: From a military standpoint, all they're doing is flogging up 22 00:00:57,640 --> 00:01:01,800 Speaker 3: the straight. But from a military you a standpoint, they're finished. 23 00:01:03,280 --> 00:01:05,560 Speaker 1: I'll keep it a mono. Sources in the intelligence community 24 00:01:05,600 --> 00:01:08,920 Speaker 1: and the administration tell us that unclogging the Strait is 25 00:01:08,920 --> 00:01:11,919 Speaker 1: a problem without a clear solution, one that a recent 26 00:01:11,959 --> 00:01:14,560 Speaker 1: intelligence assessment determined could drag on for as long as 27 00:01:14,600 --> 00:01:17,880 Speaker 1: six months now. I Pentagon spokesman dismissed that notion, though 28 00:01:17,920 --> 00:01:21,200 Speaker 1: telling CNN quote one assessment does not mean the assessment 29 00:01:21,280 --> 00:01:24,240 Speaker 1: is plausible, and it's dangerous for the media to cherry 30 00:01:24,240 --> 00:01:27,920 Speaker 1: pick the worst case scenario to scare the American people. Still, 31 00:01:28,040 --> 00:01:30,920 Speaker 1: it is hard to find anyone with any experience of 32 00:01:30,959 --> 00:01:33,120 Speaker 1: the region saying that safeguarding the Strait will be as 33 00:01:33,160 --> 00:01:36,399 Speaker 1: the President just put it, an easy military operation, or 34 00:01:36,440 --> 00:01:39,840 Speaker 1: that it will open itself, which he also said today. 35 00:01:39,760 --> 00:01:41,240 Speaker 4: On I want to ask you this, there have been 36 00:01:41,240 --> 00:01:44,000 Speaker 4: a lot of lies. First of all, when now we 37 00:01:44,080 --> 00:01:47,840 Speaker 4: haven't even as of this hour this Friday night, we 38 00:01:47,880 --> 00:01:51,320 Speaker 4: haven't entered the third week of this conflict. In terms 39 00:01:51,400 --> 00:01:56,280 Speaker 4: of intelligence, military display of power, there's never been anything 40 00:01:56,400 --> 00:02:00,360 Speaker 4: like this in the history of warfare ever. And yet 41 00:02:00,400 --> 00:02:04,400 Speaker 4: people make in proclamations, oh, Donald Trump listened to Israel 42 00:02:04,440 --> 00:02:06,720 Speaker 4: and to bb and to people like you and to 43 00:02:06,880 --> 00:02:09,760 Speaker 4: people like me. They don't know Donald Trump if they're 44 00:02:09,760 --> 00:02:13,240 Speaker 4: making idiotic statements like that. But here's fundamentally what it 45 00:02:13,280 --> 00:02:17,320 Speaker 4: came down to for me. Steve Whitkof meets the president, 46 00:02:17,360 --> 00:02:20,920 Speaker 4: wants a deal, the president wants peace. They rejected it. 47 00:02:21,200 --> 00:02:25,400 Speaker 4: They're clinging to their nuclear ambition. And here is the option. 48 00:02:25,919 --> 00:02:28,480 Speaker 4: Either we learn the lessons of history in the last 49 00:02:28,639 --> 00:02:32,320 Speaker 4: hundred years where over one hundred million human souls died, 50 00:02:33,919 --> 00:02:41,840 Speaker 4: and we preempt a raging Islamic fascist regime now before 51 00:02:41,919 --> 00:02:45,079 Speaker 4: potentially millions can get killed, or we hand that off 52 00:02:45,120 --> 00:02:48,240 Speaker 4: to our children and grandchildren. Not an option for me. 53 00:02:48,520 --> 00:02:50,200 Speaker 4: I don't think it's an option for you. I know 54 00:02:50,240 --> 00:02:53,160 Speaker 4: it's not, and it certainly wasn't an option for Donald Trump, 55 00:02:53,560 --> 00:02:57,480 Speaker 4: and he made that calculation after Steve Whitkoff told them 56 00:02:57,520 --> 00:03:01,480 Speaker 4: that in ten days they'd have enough weapons enriched uranium 57 00:03:01,520 --> 00:03:02,520 Speaker 4: for eleven bombs. 58 00:03:03,360 --> 00:03:06,480 Speaker 5: On day twenty two of combat operations, US forces continued 59 00:03:06,520 --> 00:03:10,800 Speaker 5: to take bold action and remain on plan to eliminate 60 00:03:11,080 --> 00:03:15,440 Speaker 5: Iran's ability to project meaningful power outside its borders. Just 61 00:03:15,480 --> 00:03:18,440 Speaker 5: two days ago, the US Army launched the longest field 62 00:03:18,520 --> 00:03:22,680 Speaker 5: artillery strike in army combat history, using precision strike missiles. 63 00:03:23,160 --> 00:03:27,120 Speaker 5: The strike took out Iranian military infrastructure, demonstrating the US 64 00:03:27,200 --> 00:03:32,880 Speaker 5: military's unmatched reach and lethality. Iran has lost significant combat 65 00:03:32,919 --> 00:03:36,240 Speaker 5: capability Over the last three weeks. We are taking out 66 00:03:36,520 --> 00:03:40,560 Speaker 5: thousands of Iranian missiles, advanced attack drones, and all of 67 00:03:40,560 --> 00:03:44,800 Speaker 5: Iran's navy which they used to harass international shipping. Their 68 00:03:44,880 --> 00:03:47,960 Speaker 5: navy is not sailing, their tactical fighters are not flying, 69 00:03:48,240 --> 00:03:51,080 Speaker 5: and they've lost the ability to launch missiles and drones 70 00:03:51,360 --> 00:03:54,040 Speaker 5: at the high rates scene at the beginning of the conflict. 71 00:03:54,520 --> 00:03:59,680 Speaker 5: Our progress is obvious. US forces maintain air superiority over 72 00:03:59,720 --> 00:04:03,760 Speaker 5: ira on skies, having now flown over eight thousand combat flights. 73 00:04:04,320 --> 00:04:07,480 Speaker 5: Our air crews are performing exceptionally across the fight, from 74 00:04:07,560 --> 00:04:11,480 Speaker 5: tankers to fighters and bombers to land based and carrier 75 00:04:11,520 --> 00:04:16,200 Speaker 5: based aviation, doing a superb job. Tankers are extending our 76 00:04:16,240 --> 00:04:19,279 Speaker 5: reach so that we can keep constant pressure on the enemy. 77 00:04:19,800 --> 00:04:24,640 Speaker 5: Fighters and bombers are delivering precision strikes against our primary objectives, 78 00:04:25,120 --> 00:04:28,120 Speaker 5: and our pilots across the board are dynamically hunting threats 79 00:04:28,240 --> 00:04:32,800 Speaker 5: as well, finding and eliminating targets in real time. So far, 80 00:04:33,000 --> 00:04:36,640 Speaker 5: we've struck over eight thousand military targets, including one hundred 81 00:04:36,640 --> 00:04:40,640 Speaker 5: and thirty Iranian vessels, constituting the largest elimination of a 82 00:04:40,720 --> 00:04:43,360 Speaker 5: navy over a three week period since World War Two. 83 00:04:43,880 --> 00:04:46,280 Speaker 1: You heard the President saying that the war could end 84 00:04:46,360 --> 00:04:49,320 Speaker 1: right now, but that further air strikes would mean Iran 85 00:04:49,360 --> 00:04:52,480 Speaker 1: could never rebuild militarily. Where do you see things right 86 00:04:52,520 --> 00:04:53,080 Speaker 1: now today? 87 00:04:53,360 --> 00:04:55,400 Speaker 6: Sure? Well, first I would want to say that the 88 00:04:55,640 --> 00:04:57,880 Speaker 6: very early mission accomplished, we could end the war. That 89 00:04:58,000 --> 00:05:00,559 Speaker 6: sounds quite familiar to a lot of Americans right now. 90 00:05:01,040 --> 00:05:03,240 Speaker 6: I think, I hate to say it, but I think 91 00:05:03,279 --> 00:05:06,560 Speaker 6: that what we have gotten ourselves into a scenario where 92 00:05:06,560 --> 00:05:08,880 Speaker 6: we may need boots on the ground. And the reason 93 00:05:08,920 --> 00:05:11,440 Speaker 6: I say that is because you can't launch an all 94 00:05:11,520 --> 00:05:14,240 Speaker 6: air campaign with just air strikes without actually having a 95 00:05:14,279 --> 00:05:16,720 Speaker 6: presence in country. So think about what we did. 96 00:05:16,760 --> 00:05:19,440 Speaker 1: Even if you're not trying to go for regime change. 97 00:05:20,279 --> 00:05:21,920 Speaker 6: Correct, even if you're not trying, I don't think you 98 00:05:21,920 --> 00:05:23,440 Speaker 6: can do it at all. I think that it's very 99 00:05:23,440 --> 00:05:26,240 Speaker 6: disruptive to the country in general, because think about this 100 00:05:26,320 --> 00:05:29,400 Speaker 6: the civilian from the perspective of the civilian populace in country, 101 00:05:29,920 --> 00:05:32,000 Speaker 6: they're just seeing buildings getting get destroyed. And I have 102 00:05:32,080 --> 00:05:34,360 Speaker 6: no doubt that SENTCAM is getting really good targets and 103 00:05:34,400 --> 00:05:36,320 Speaker 6: it looks like we are hitting the targets that we want, 104 00:05:36,480 --> 00:05:39,880 Speaker 6: but we're also hitting targets that are creating serious civilian casualties. 105 00:05:39,920 --> 00:05:41,719 Speaker 6: And so if you don't have boots on the ground 106 00:05:41,839 --> 00:05:45,320 Speaker 6: actually monitoring what's going on in country, that can spiral 107 00:05:45,320 --> 00:05:47,440 Speaker 6: out of control very quickly. And if you want to 108 00:05:47,440 --> 00:05:50,040 Speaker 6: compare it to Iraq in two thousand and three, where 109 00:05:50,040 --> 00:05:54,640 Speaker 6: we saw on a certain insurgency emerge, the scenario there 110 00:05:54,839 --> 00:05:57,000 Speaker 6: is not even comparable to what we're dealing with here. 111 00:05:57,120 --> 00:05:59,920 Speaker 6: Iraq is about half the size of Iran and into 112 00:05:59,800 --> 00:06:02,599 Speaker 6: the three Iraq and later in twenty fourteen, when we 113 00:06:02,640 --> 00:06:06,200 Speaker 6: went back to try to read out the Islamic State, 114 00:06:06,920 --> 00:06:12,040 Speaker 6: we had a multi country coalition in country with US 115 00:06:12,040 --> 00:06:14,719 Speaker 6: fighting alongside US and actual boots on the ground. We 116 00:06:14,760 --> 00:06:19,120 Speaker 6: also had State Department resources, USAID ANDNGOS. We had groups 117 00:06:19,120 --> 00:06:23,320 Speaker 6: there doing building, doing reconstruction. By contrast, right now on 118 00:06:23,320 --> 00:06:26,280 Speaker 6: the ground in Iran, all there is is destruction and 119 00:06:26,520 --> 00:06:28,919 Speaker 6: there is no functional government. We are making sure that 120 00:06:28,960 --> 00:06:31,440 Speaker 6: there is no functional government to help people rebuild, and 121 00:06:31,480 --> 00:06:34,080 Speaker 6: so that leaves civilians with a question of who is 122 00:06:34,120 --> 00:06:36,760 Speaker 6: helping us? Who are the good guys here? Could we 123 00:06:36,800 --> 00:06:39,640 Speaker 6: actually see the American boots on the ground going deep 124 00:06:39,680 --> 00:06:40,800 Speaker 6: into the tunnels. 125 00:06:41,760 --> 00:06:44,200 Speaker 7: I mean, on the second question, if they really decide 126 00:06:44,200 --> 00:06:47,360 Speaker 7: they want to go in and secure that HU, I 127 00:06:47,440 --> 00:06:50,440 Speaker 7: don't think there's any other way. 128 00:06:50,360 --> 00:06:51,560 Speaker 2: And that would not be address. 129 00:06:51,600 --> 00:06:55,000 Speaker 7: Isn't it extremely dangerous? That's not an operation. It after 130 00:06:55,120 --> 00:06:57,360 Speaker 7: use special forces. They have to use a ton of 131 00:06:57,920 --> 00:06:59,760 Speaker 7: kind of air power to secure. 132 00:06:59,400 --> 00:07:01,560 Speaker 8: The location and for however long they want. 133 00:07:01,720 --> 00:07:02,919 Speaker 7: I mean, on the one end, you wouldn't have to 134 00:07:02,920 --> 00:07:06,440 Speaker 7: go in there and hold the territory. You'd have to 135 00:07:06,560 --> 00:07:08,640 Speaker 7: send in teams, get them in and get them out. 136 00:07:09,320 --> 00:07:13,000 Speaker 7: You know, that operation in Venezuela when they took Maduro 137 00:07:13,120 --> 00:07:17,520 Speaker 7: is pretty impressive. They have that capability. I think grabbing 138 00:07:17,560 --> 00:07:22,440 Speaker 7: Maduro was probably easier than sending people down to grab Essentially, 139 00:07:23,160 --> 00:07:28,440 Speaker 7: I guess the ATU was held in bins, basically being bins. 140 00:07:28,560 --> 00:07:30,320 Speaker 7: I don't think that's the dangerous part. I think the 141 00:07:30,400 --> 00:07:33,720 Speaker 7: dangerous part is what type of resistance Because you can 142 00:07:33,800 --> 00:07:37,560 Speaker 7: imagine the IOGC is reading our press and know this 143 00:07:37,600 --> 00:07:41,240 Speaker 7: could be an operation, So they probably both fortified it, 144 00:07:41,240 --> 00:07:43,320 Speaker 7: probably booby trapped it, and. 145 00:07:43,120 --> 00:07:46,200 Speaker 9: They'd be waiting. So that would be a very dangerous part. 146 00:07:46,240 --> 00:07:48,760 Speaker 10: Here's the bottom line for me, for forty seven years, 147 00:07:48,840 --> 00:07:53,400 Speaker 10: these bastards have been killing Americans, threatening US, and finally 148 00:07:53,480 --> 00:07:55,960 Speaker 10: have a president who's done something about it. You had 149 00:07:56,000 --> 00:07:59,560 Speaker 10: appeasers and Obama actually worse, they were funding the enemy. 150 00:07:59,600 --> 00:08:00,440 Speaker 8: Same with Biden. 151 00:08:00,960 --> 00:08:04,680 Speaker 10: You have scores and scores of violations of these phony agreements. 152 00:08:05,320 --> 00:08:08,600 Speaker 10: They're within a whisker of having nuclear weapons. Yet again, 153 00:08:08,680 --> 00:08:12,520 Speaker 10: they certainly have the nuclear material. I don't understand the 154 00:08:12,560 --> 00:08:16,600 Speaker 10: opposition they're ideological or their grifters, or their Democrats or 155 00:08:16,640 --> 00:08:21,120 Speaker 10: whatever they are. If we're not going to preemptively because 156 00:08:21,120 --> 00:08:24,960 Speaker 10: of an imminent threat that's quite obvious take out an 157 00:08:25,080 --> 00:08:26,840 Speaker 10: enemy like this, then when would we? 158 00:08:27,480 --> 00:08:28,040 Speaker 11: When would we? 159 00:08:28,160 --> 00:08:31,960 Speaker 12: The reality here is that essentially during Defense Secretary hate 160 00:08:32,120 --> 00:08:35,640 Speaker 12: Excess press conferences or even during the President's interviews, they 161 00:08:35,679 --> 00:08:38,960 Speaker 12: make war sound easy, that air power alone is gonna, 162 00:08:39,600 --> 00:08:42,880 Speaker 12: you know, topple the Iranian government or prevent around from 163 00:08:42,880 --> 00:08:46,120 Speaker 12: ever getting a nuclear bomb. Those goals, particularly the one 164 00:08:46,120 --> 00:08:49,520 Speaker 12: about the nuclear bomb, cannot be achieved without American boots 165 00:08:49,559 --> 00:08:51,319 Speaker 12: on the ground. And as we talked about earlier, you 166 00:08:51,400 --> 00:08:53,640 Speaker 12: might need American boots just to open the straight of 167 00:08:53,679 --> 00:08:56,240 Speaker 12: horror moves. And so this idea of sort of, and 168 00:08:56,280 --> 00:08:58,440 Speaker 12: I hate to say waging war on the cheap. I 169 00:08:58,440 --> 00:09:01,920 Speaker 12: mean that makes it politically powerful. Our air power and 170 00:09:01,960 --> 00:09:04,679 Speaker 12: our air force is extraordinary, but you're not going to 171 00:09:04,720 --> 00:09:07,520 Speaker 12: be able to remove It's the thousand pounds of uranium 172 00:09:07,600 --> 00:09:09,840 Speaker 12: that isn't enriched to a level where it can be 173 00:09:09,840 --> 00:09:13,560 Speaker 12: made a bomb. And this is this other problem. Just yesterday, 174 00:09:13,600 --> 00:09:16,800 Speaker 12: Prime Minister net Yaho of Israel said that Iran doesn't 175 00:09:16,840 --> 00:09:19,199 Speaker 12: have the ability to enrich that uranium now to a 176 00:09:19,280 --> 00:09:21,440 Speaker 12: higher level. It looks like the strikes have destroyed the 177 00:09:21,440 --> 00:09:25,680 Speaker 12: centrifuges they need to, so that uranium is not the 178 00:09:25,760 --> 00:09:28,520 Speaker 12: threat Trump is claiming. And then if he does think 179 00:09:28,600 --> 00:09:31,400 Speaker 12: it's an existential threat, he's going to send Americans in. 180 00:09:31,440 --> 00:09:33,880 Speaker 12: They will be on the ground for hours. They're going 181 00:09:33,920 --> 00:09:36,560 Speaker 12: to be going into places that the US bombed last year. 182 00:09:37,200 --> 00:09:40,440 Speaker 12: Tunnels that existed were bombed by the US. So American 183 00:09:40,440 --> 00:09:43,960 Speaker 12: troops will go in and have to dig through dirt 184 00:09:44,040 --> 00:09:46,440 Speaker 12: and sand to get down to these storage bunkers that 185 00:09:46,520 --> 00:09:49,360 Speaker 12: hold this uranium. They'll be on the ground for hours, 186 00:09:49,920 --> 00:09:51,800 Speaker 12: and the Iranians will be trying to pick them off 187 00:09:51,800 --> 00:09:53,520 Speaker 12: and kill as many Americans as possible. 188 00:09:53,880 --> 00:09:58,680 Speaker 5: We also remain zeroed in on dismantling Iran's decades old 189 00:09:58,720 --> 00:10:01,240 Speaker 5: threat to the free flow of com throughout the Straight 190 00:10:01,240 --> 00:10:04,920 Speaker 5: of Horn Moves. For example, earlier this week, we dropped 191 00:10:05,000 --> 00:10:09,400 Speaker 5: multiple five thousand pound bombs on underground facility located along 192 00:10:09,559 --> 00:10:14,400 Speaker 5: Iron's coastline. The Iranian regime used the hardened underground facility 193 00:10:14,600 --> 00:10:18,680 Speaker 5: to discreetly store anti ship cruise missiles, mobile missile launchers, 194 00:10:18,679 --> 00:10:22,480 Speaker 5: and other equipment that presented a dangerous risk to international shipping. 195 00:10:22,920 --> 00:10:25,840 Speaker 5: We not only took out the facility, but also destroyed 196 00:10:25,880 --> 00:10:29,520 Speaker 5: intelligent support sites and missile radar relays that were used 197 00:10:29,520 --> 00:10:33,080 Speaker 5: to monitor ship movements. Iran's ability to threaten freedom of 198 00:10:33,120 --> 00:10:35,600 Speaker 5: navigation in and around the Straight of Horn Moves is 199 00:10:35,640 --> 00:10:38,920 Speaker 5: degraded as a result, and we will not stop pursuing 200 00:10:38,920 --> 00:10:39,560 Speaker 5: these targets. 201 00:10:39,920 --> 00:10:42,800 Speaker 10: You know, nine to eleven happens. Everybody, they go, well, 202 00:10:42,800 --> 00:10:45,600 Speaker 10: what happened? We have a whole commission because people weren't awake, 203 00:10:45,640 --> 00:10:48,120 Speaker 10: they were sleep at the wheel. All these events happened 204 00:10:48,120 --> 00:10:51,800 Speaker 10: pro Harbor. We talk about Pearl Harbor. How did that happen? 205 00:10:51,840 --> 00:10:54,920 Speaker 10: Because everybody's asleep at the wheel and they're not paying attention. Well, 206 00:10:54,920 --> 00:10:56,800 Speaker 10: you have a prison who's not asleep at the wheel? 207 00:10:57,440 --> 00:10:59,559 Speaker 10: And now we're talking about nuclear weapons? And I ask 208 00:10:59,640 --> 00:11:03,880 Speaker 10: you this and missus America. What if the other side 209 00:11:03,960 --> 00:11:08,439 Speaker 10: is wrong? What if they would use nuclear missiles against us? 210 00:11:08,840 --> 00:11:11,720 Speaker 10: What if this regime is evil? What if it is 211 00:11:11,760 --> 00:11:16,120 Speaker 10: a seventh century throwback? What if they really believe in death? 212 00:11:16,920 --> 00:11:20,400 Speaker 10: What if they really do believe in everything they've said 213 00:11:20,520 --> 00:11:23,680 Speaker 10: over and over and over again. Should we risk the 214 00:11:23,760 --> 00:11:26,600 Speaker 10: existence of the United States? Should we risk the lives 215 00:11:26,920 --> 00:11:30,360 Speaker 10: of three hundred and fifty million people? What's the democrat plan? 216 00:11:30,400 --> 00:11:33,559 Speaker 10: We've already seen what they've done. Or these neo fascist 217 00:11:33,800 --> 00:11:38,280 Speaker 10: podcast or isolationists, what's their plan? They have no plan 218 00:11:38,760 --> 00:11:41,280 Speaker 10: because they have no mind. Let me tell you something. 219 00:11:41,960 --> 00:11:45,360 Speaker 10: During the Revolutionary War we had we had, of course 220 00:11:47,200 --> 00:11:51,000 Speaker 10: Benedict Donald, you know we have now we have scores 221 00:11:51,040 --> 00:11:54,280 Speaker 10: of Benedict Arnold's out there trying to undermine our troops, 222 00:11:54,760 --> 00:11:57,960 Speaker 10: trying to sabotage our effort. Do all these things that 223 00:11:58,000 --> 00:12:00,240 Speaker 10: are going on that we hear about our meat, yeh? 224 00:12:00,280 --> 00:12:03,280 Speaker 10: Can you imagine a media like this? During the Revolutionary 225 00:12:03,320 --> 00:12:06,720 Speaker 10: War seven and a half year war, we lost mark. 226 00:12:06,800 --> 00:12:08,920 Speaker 10: Most of the battles, we fought almost all of them. 227 00:12:09,200 --> 00:12:13,520 Speaker 10: Can you imagine what the media would be saying today. 228 00:12:14,559 --> 00:12:18,120 Speaker 13: It's Saturday, twenty one March, in the Year of Our Lord, 229 00:12:18,200 --> 00:12:19,000 Speaker 13: twenty twenty six. 230 00:12:19,080 --> 00:12:20,920 Speaker 2: Welcome for our Saturday show. We're going to get a lot. 231 00:12:21,240 --> 00:12:22,840 Speaker 2: Captain Finel is going to join us in a moment. 232 00:12:22,880 --> 00:12:26,120 Speaker 13: We're going to go through the military operations and the 233 00:12:26,120 --> 00:12:27,200 Speaker 13: progress that we're making. 234 00:12:27,200 --> 00:12:29,120 Speaker 2: Their ir Bowlings are going to join us. Also. 235 00:12:29,160 --> 00:12:32,320 Speaker 13: We're going to talk about oil markets, impact on the 236 00:12:32,320 --> 00:12:33,920 Speaker 13: world economy, how we go forward. 237 00:12:33,920 --> 00:12:36,040 Speaker 2: President Trump pretty blunt yesterday. 238 00:12:36,320 --> 00:12:38,599 Speaker 13: Saying, Hey, when I talked to my military leaders, I 239 00:12:38,679 --> 00:12:42,680 Speaker 13: think we've I think we've accomplished what we set out 240 00:12:42,679 --> 00:12:45,640 Speaker 13: to accomplish militarily. And if you want to keep the 241 00:12:45,679 --> 00:12:50,200 Speaker 13: straight of horror moves open and oil coming and gas 242 00:12:50,200 --> 00:12:54,720 Speaker 13: coming from the energy coming from the Persian Gulf, the Allies, 243 00:12:54,760 --> 00:12:58,400 Speaker 13: the Arabs, Asians and particularly NATO are going to the 244 00:12:58,440 --> 00:13:01,920 Speaker 13: step up here, keep the red see in the strait 245 00:13:02,000 --> 00:13:06,079 Speaker 13: of removes open. I think tel Aviv Levin has now 246 00:13:06,120 --> 00:13:09,280 Speaker 13: become the new Bagdad Bob. I think he makes the 247 00:13:09,320 --> 00:13:12,400 Speaker 13: case more and more every day of why this has 248 00:13:12,440 --> 00:13:15,280 Speaker 13: to be reviewed and reviewed in depth, and it's not 249 00:13:15,440 --> 00:13:17,560 Speaker 13: right now the imminent threat. There will be plenty of 250 00:13:17,600 --> 00:13:20,440 Speaker 13: time for that later. What we have to review and 251 00:13:20,440 --> 00:13:21,960 Speaker 13: we'll get into this in the show and I'll do 252 00:13:22,160 --> 00:13:26,079 Speaker 13: even a deeper dive tomorrow. Is now it's become evident 253 00:13:26,480 --> 00:13:30,920 Speaker 13: that seventeen percent of the capacity of the Catar gas field, 254 00:13:30,960 --> 00:13:34,560 Speaker 13: the one they have in joint ownership with the they 255 00:13:34,559 --> 00:13:36,920 Speaker 13: have joint ownership with the Iranians, but they actually I think, 256 00:13:37,000 --> 00:13:42,280 Speaker 13: run run it. Seventeen percent of the capacity has been 257 00:13:42,880 --> 00:13:46,040 Speaker 13: has been destroyed, and they are talking about force masure 258 00:13:46,120 --> 00:13:49,080 Speaker 13: and five year contracts virtually all of them. 259 00:13:49,080 --> 00:13:53,040 Speaker 2: I think in Europe. How that happened? 260 00:13:53,880 --> 00:13:57,280 Speaker 13: How once again at two big inflection point, The two 261 00:13:57,440 --> 00:14:00,520 Speaker 13: I think biggest inflection points have come during the military 262 00:14:00,559 --> 00:14:05,079 Speaker 13: operation was the bombing of the oil facilities in Tehran 263 00:14:05,240 --> 00:14:08,840 Speaker 13: a couple of Saturday nights ago, two weeks ago, against 264 00:14:08,840 --> 00:14:12,200 Speaker 13: a specific standing order from the Commander in Chief of 265 00:14:12,240 --> 00:14:13,640 Speaker 13: the United States, that would be Donald J. 266 00:14:13,760 --> 00:14:14,080 Speaker 2: Trump. 267 00:14:14,960 --> 00:14:18,079 Speaker 13: That standing order is still out there. You were to 268 00:14:18,120 --> 00:14:22,600 Speaker 13: not to touch Iranian oil facilities. The car the Cark 269 00:14:22,720 --> 00:14:27,600 Speaker 13: Island event by magnificent military took out the military targets 270 00:14:27,840 --> 00:14:31,320 Speaker 13: in precision, did not touch the oil targets. Yet the 271 00:14:31,400 --> 00:14:34,800 Speaker 13: Israelis once again went against a standing order from the 272 00:14:34,800 --> 00:14:39,840 Speaker 13: Commander in chief and bombed. 273 00:14:38,240 --> 00:14:39,160 Speaker 2: The Iranian Party. 274 00:14:39,920 --> 00:14:42,960 Speaker 13: Turns out they got the Katari part two of the 275 00:14:43,400 --> 00:14:46,000 Speaker 13: of this gas field, seventeen percent of the capacity. 276 00:14:46,000 --> 00:14:50,600 Speaker 2: We now know that has to be investigated, has to 277 00:14:50,600 --> 00:14:51,320 Speaker 2: be investigated. 278 00:14:51,320 --> 00:14:51,480 Speaker 9: Now. 279 00:14:51,480 --> 00:14:54,359 Speaker 2: The answers so far are not acceptable. 280 00:14:54,520 --> 00:14:56,840 Speaker 13: Short commercial break, Captain of fin Now Eric Bowling on 281 00:14:56,840 --> 00:15:03,520 Speaker 13: the other side. 282 00:15:00,760 --> 00:15:02,280 Speaker 11: Confuse your host. 283 00:15:02,200 --> 00:15:10,800 Speaker 14: Stephen k Bath joke, Okay, the war and rumors of war, 284 00:15:12,440 --> 00:15:13,760 Speaker 14: and of course the fog of war. 285 00:15:14,720 --> 00:15:16,280 Speaker 13: It's hard to kind of make sense of this. I'm 286 00:15:16,360 --> 00:15:19,000 Speaker 13: very proud of the show. We've shown so many different 287 00:15:19,040 --> 00:15:22,640 Speaker 13: angles to this. By the way, Rabbit Willicky will join 288 00:15:22,720 --> 00:15:25,720 Speaker 13: us tomorrow on the Sunday Show. Also Ben Harnwell from Rome. 289 00:15:25,960 --> 00:15:27,520 Speaker 13: The Pope has got something to say about this. We're 290 00:15:27,520 --> 00:15:30,040 Speaker 13: gonna break all of that down. Plus a military update. 291 00:15:30,720 --> 00:15:35,200 Speaker 13: Captain Fanel Sankkom put out another video. I actually wish 292 00:15:35,280 --> 00:15:38,080 Speaker 13: that these sen com would not put out videos. 293 00:15:38,120 --> 00:15:42,400 Speaker 2: I would like see erin mccrooper just do what General 294 00:15:42,480 --> 00:15:44,640 Speaker 2: Kane does, because I'll be blunt. 295 00:15:44,800 --> 00:15:48,400 Speaker 13: I think General Kine and Amba Cooper in the situation 296 00:15:48,520 --> 00:15:51,520 Speaker 13: we're in for the military operation part of it. Just 297 00:15:51,560 --> 00:15:53,440 Speaker 13: do an incredible job, and I would like to see 298 00:15:53,440 --> 00:15:54,600 Speaker 13: more of it, and I would like to see more 299 00:15:54,600 --> 00:15:57,080 Speaker 13: of it live and even have Ed mccrooper take a 300 00:15:57,120 --> 00:15:59,240 Speaker 13: couple of three questions from media. But that's we're just 301 00:15:59,280 --> 00:16:02,200 Speaker 13: putting that out there. Captain Fanel, your assessment, You've been 302 00:16:02,200 --> 00:16:04,360 Speaker 13: pretty good at walking through bank bank bank. Here's what 303 00:16:04,400 --> 00:16:06,800 Speaker 13: they're trying, here's what they're attempting to do, here's what 304 00:16:07,040 --> 00:16:10,080 Speaker 13: actually they're doing, and here's the results of it. 305 00:16:10,120 --> 00:16:14,560 Speaker 15: Your thoughts, sir, Well, Steve, I'd like to start off 306 00:16:14,600 --> 00:16:17,920 Speaker 15: with Admiral Cooper's final statement in that video he put 307 00:16:17,960 --> 00:16:19,200 Speaker 15: out here a couple hours ago. 308 00:16:19,600 --> 00:16:21,640 Speaker 8: He said he gave the force, the fifty. 309 00:16:21,360 --> 00:16:26,920 Speaker 15: Thousand plus American service members three direct or three guidance's 310 00:16:26,960 --> 00:16:30,360 Speaker 15: pieces of guidance. The first was to be relentlessly lethal, 311 00:16:31,120 --> 00:16:33,440 Speaker 15: and I think we'll talk about the lethal part. Then 312 00:16:33,480 --> 00:16:37,080 Speaker 15: he said, be a good shipmate, be a good partner, teammate. 313 00:16:38,000 --> 00:16:40,800 Speaker 15: And then the last thing he said is steady your resolve. 314 00:16:41,080 --> 00:16:43,640 Speaker 15: And so when I listened to the Cold Open, I 315 00:16:43,680 --> 00:16:45,840 Speaker 15: see a lot of folks that are civilians, a lot 316 00:16:45,880 --> 00:16:49,520 Speaker 15: of folks, you know, that you know, seem to be 317 00:16:49,560 --> 00:16:52,560 Speaker 15: losing their resolve. So when I you know, I just 318 00:16:52,640 --> 00:16:54,440 Speaker 15: put that out there to say, you know, let's not 319 00:16:54,560 --> 00:16:57,520 Speaker 15: lose our resolve and let's focus in on what's happening. 320 00:16:57,800 --> 00:17:00,440 Speaker 15: And what's happening is is that is The admiral said, 321 00:17:00,760 --> 00:17:04,159 Speaker 15: We've conducted over eight thousand sorties and we've struck over 322 00:17:04,280 --> 00:17:09,840 Speaker 15: eighty five hundred targets, and we're relentlessly pursuing the Iranians 323 00:17:09,920 --> 00:17:14,680 Speaker 15: capability to project meaningful power outside of their borders. Now, 324 00:17:14,680 --> 00:17:17,960 Speaker 15: there's been some exceptions, but he said, we're steadily making 325 00:17:18,040 --> 00:17:22,080 Speaker 15: progress there and the Iranian's ability to do that is declining. 326 00:17:22,200 --> 00:17:25,040 Speaker 15: And empirically we can see that, for instance, in the 327 00:17:25,040 --> 00:17:29,440 Speaker 15: ballistic missile launches, they have gone down. They're not eliminated, 328 00:17:29,480 --> 00:17:32,879 Speaker 15: but they have gone down dramatically in the first twenty 329 00:17:32,880 --> 00:17:36,000 Speaker 15: one days of this conflict, the first three weeks. Now, 330 00:17:36,000 --> 00:17:42,400 Speaker 15: we did see last night, Iranians launched two ballistic intermediate 331 00:17:42,520 --> 00:17:46,240 Speaker 15: range ballistic missiles, the kor Ram Shar for a blistic 332 00:17:46,240 --> 00:17:49,959 Speaker 15: missile towards Diego Garcia. One of the missiles broke up 333 00:17:50,040 --> 00:17:53,119 Speaker 15: malfunction in flight. The second one was engaged and shot 334 00:17:53,160 --> 00:17:56,920 Speaker 15: down by a US Navy agis destroyer with the Standard 335 00:17:56,920 --> 00:18:01,879 Speaker 15: missile three and it shot that missile down. So yep, 336 00:18:02,960 --> 00:18:06,320 Speaker 15: that's a concern that'll probably be taking you know, more 337 00:18:06,359 --> 00:18:08,920 Speaker 15: attention now about where did that come from, and where 338 00:18:08,920 --> 00:18:11,199 Speaker 15: did they how did they get out and have the 339 00:18:11,240 --> 00:18:12,159 Speaker 15: ability to do. 340 00:18:12,040 --> 00:18:15,040 Speaker 8: That the missile itself. 341 00:18:15,080 --> 00:18:17,359 Speaker 15: You know, there was some estimates that most of the 342 00:18:17,600 --> 00:18:20,400 Speaker 15: ICs estimates and in the public domain said that the 343 00:18:20,440 --> 00:18:24,280 Speaker 15: Iranians didn't have anything over or just around four thousand kilometers. 344 00:18:24,800 --> 00:18:26,720 Speaker 8: Diego Garcia is just about four. 345 00:18:26,560 --> 00:18:34,000 Speaker 15: Thousand kilometers from Iran and this missile that was engaged 346 00:18:34,480 --> 00:18:37,800 Speaker 15: and shot down it was only previously seen to fly 347 00:18:37,880 --> 00:18:40,240 Speaker 15: two to three thousand kilometers. So this has gone well 348 00:18:40,280 --> 00:18:43,920 Speaker 15: beyond what the assessments were. So a little bit of us, 349 00:18:45,040 --> 00:18:47,760 Speaker 15: you know, they're they're taking a last ditch effort. It 350 00:18:47,800 --> 00:18:49,560 Speaker 15: looked to me like it was a hail Mary, Let's 351 00:18:49,560 --> 00:18:52,399 Speaker 15: see if we can strike Diego Garcia, and it's not 352 00:18:52,440 --> 00:18:54,840 Speaker 15: going to work because of our ability to shoot down 353 00:18:54,840 --> 00:18:57,160 Speaker 15: and the fact that we thought ahead and we put 354 00:18:57,200 --> 00:19:02,160 Speaker 15: ags SM three in integrated air and Missile defense warships 355 00:19:02,440 --> 00:19:05,600 Speaker 15: that protect Diego and other locations. And oh, by the way, 356 00:19:05,640 --> 00:19:09,560 Speaker 15: the Iranians still obviously have some cognizance because they did 357 00:19:09,600 --> 00:19:13,639 Speaker 15: this strike right after Prime Minister Starmer of the United 358 00:19:13,720 --> 00:19:16,080 Speaker 15: Kingdom announced that he was going to let the US 359 00:19:16,280 --> 00:19:20,040 Speaker 15: use RAF Fairford in the UK and Diego to launch 360 00:19:20,359 --> 00:19:25,280 Speaker 15: attacks into Iran. So they're still fighting, but their ability 361 00:19:25,320 --> 00:19:28,600 Speaker 15: to be hurtful is being diminished. Another area that we 362 00:19:28,640 --> 00:19:31,240 Speaker 15: can assess is in the Strait of Hormuz. Amial Cooper 363 00:19:31,320 --> 00:19:35,800 Speaker 15: mentioned that we drop multiple five thousand pound bombs. Those 364 00:19:35,840 --> 00:19:40,080 Speaker 15: are the GBU seventy twos. They are five thousand pounds 365 00:19:40,080 --> 00:19:44,000 Speaker 15: that can penetrate one hundred and fifty feet fifty meters 366 00:19:44,480 --> 00:19:47,120 Speaker 15: and we drop several of those. It's the first time 367 00:19:47,160 --> 00:19:49,760 Speaker 15: those have ever been used in combat. And they're going 368 00:19:49,800 --> 00:19:54,560 Speaker 15: for these hardened artillery sites, these underground storage bunkers and 369 00:19:54,720 --> 00:19:58,200 Speaker 15: underground missile launchers for anti ship cruise missiles and mines 370 00:19:58,240 --> 00:20:01,359 Speaker 15: and anything else that could affect straight And when you 371 00:20:01,400 --> 00:20:03,680 Speaker 15: again look at the statistics and you go to the 372 00:20:03,760 --> 00:20:08,080 Speaker 15: UK's Maritime Trade Office and their Joint Maritime Information Center 373 00:20:08,280 --> 00:20:11,840 Speaker 15: update from last night, we're now still have not had 374 00:20:11,920 --> 00:20:15,119 Speaker 15: any vessel attacks and the Straight of Home moves for 375 00:20:15,640 --> 00:20:18,080 Speaker 15: well over a week. There's been a couple of incidents 376 00:20:18,119 --> 00:20:19,720 Speaker 15: on the north or south side of the strait, but 377 00:20:19,760 --> 00:20:22,440 Speaker 15: those have been drones and no ship was actually hit, 378 00:20:22,840 --> 00:20:25,800 Speaker 15: just some debris el on them, So there's no the 379 00:20:25,840 --> 00:20:29,720 Speaker 15: Iranians are not successfully attacking ships now ships are you 380 00:20:29,760 --> 00:20:34,119 Speaker 15: know what we see from AIS only one ship transited yesterday, 381 00:20:34,760 --> 00:20:37,040 Speaker 15: but there's dark fleet ships that are going through still 382 00:20:37,560 --> 00:20:41,199 Speaker 15: and there's no The UK's MTO also says there's no 383 00:20:41,760 --> 00:20:45,160 Speaker 15: evidence of minds in the Strait of Horror Moves, so there. 384 00:20:45,000 --> 00:20:45,840 Speaker 8: Is an effect there. 385 00:20:46,000 --> 00:20:48,679 Speaker 15: The fact that there's no minds have been detected. The 386 00:20:48,760 --> 00:20:50,920 Speaker 15: fact that there's no ships that have been struck inside 387 00:20:50,960 --> 00:20:53,640 Speaker 15: the Straight of Horror Moves for days now, many days, 388 00:20:53,640 --> 00:20:56,800 Speaker 15: for over a week, shows that we're having an impact. 389 00:20:57,000 --> 00:20:59,080 Speaker 15: So what I think, I get back to what Admiral 390 00:20:59,080 --> 00:21:03,720 Speaker 15: Cooper said, Eddie, I resolve this campaign is working and 391 00:21:03,800 --> 00:21:08,760 Speaker 15: it's working significantly to reduce the ability of the Iranians 392 00:21:08,800 --> 00:21:14,280 Speaker 15: to have any coordinated, devastating impact on us. Now they're 393 00:21:14,280 --> 00:21:16,199 Speaker 15: going to be able to pop off a missile here 394 00:21:16,240 --> 00:21:18,800 Speaker 15: and there, like you talked about with some of the 395 00:21:18,800 --> 00:21:21,480 Speaker 15: oil refineries. But I think we're at a position now 396 00:21:21,480 --> 00:21:23,520 Speaker 15: where we've just got to keep grinding on. And so 397 00:21:23,560 --> 00:21:26,760 Speaker 15: when I hear army officers on CNN and other places 398 00:21:26,960 --> 00:21:30,960 Speaker 15: say that airpower cannot work, well, it can work because 399 00:21:31,200 --> 00:21:33,840 Speaker 15: if the goal is to make sure that the Iranian 400 00:21:33,920 --> 00:21:37,280 Speaker 15: regime has declawed and doesn't have the ability to send 401 00:21:37,320 --> 00:21:41,120 Speaker 15: out missiles and mines and ships and aircraft and those 402 00:21:41,200 --> 00:21:44,439 Speaker 15: kinds of platforms that can be devastating, we are achieving that. 403 00:21:44,680 --> 00:21:48,040 Speaker 15: The other objectives about regime change and things of that nature. 404 00:21:48,440 --> 00:21:50,679 Speaker 15: I'm not sure the president's there on that right now, 405 00:21:51,400 --> 00:21:55,199 Speaker 15: we're taking the gun away from the Iranian regime. 406 00:21:57,680 --> 00:21:58,720 Speaker 2: Let's go back to that. 407 00:22:00,000 --> 00:22:04,040 Speaker 13: Agree with you with what Sincome and even the Joint 408 00:22:04,040 --> 00:22:07,199 Speaker 13: Staff under General Kane have, But we did for the 409 00:22:07,200 --> 00:22:09,920 Speaker 13: first four or five days of this war because ameral 410 00:22:10,000 --> 00:22:14,080 Speaker 13: Cooper is very specific the ability to project power in 411 00:22:14,119 --> 00:22:16,960 Speaker 13: the region or against people in the region, particularly the 412 00:22:17,000 --> 00:22:21,800 Speaker 13: Gulf Arab states in Israel. That's a change though from 413 00:22:21,840 --> 00:22:26,520 Speaker 13: the remember first couple of days we follow this quite closely. 414 00:22:28,000 --> 00:22:30,359 Speaker 13: It was about an uprising in the streets. It was 415 00:22:30,400 --> 00:22:33,280 Speaker 13: about power projection, not just in the region, but power 416 00:22:33,320 --> 00:22:36,440 Speaker 13: projection against their own people. That has been noticeably that 417 00:22:36,640 --> 00:22:39,840 Speaker 13: that objective which kind of got inserted in there after 418 00:22:39,880 --> 00:22:42,600 Speaker 13: the first couple of days is noticeably missing. 419 00:22:42,600 --> 00:22:45,000 Speaker 2: There is no uprising in the streets. 420 00:22:45,320 --> 00:22:49,840 Speaker 13: I think when people also talk about it was only 421 00:22:50,280 --> 00:22:54,080 Speaker 13: Netan Yahoo who the other day said you can't do 422 00:22:54,160 --> 00:22:57,640 Speaker 13: this by bombing. You have to put troops in if 423 00:22:57,640 --> 00:23:00,159 Speaker 13: you want to bring the regime down. That was his Now, 424 00:23:00,920 --> 00:23:03,120 Speaker 13: I think as foreign minister or defense man so walked 425 00:23:03,240 --> 00:23:05,760 Speaker 13: back and said that uprising, those boots on the ground 426 00:23:05,800 --> 00:23:09,560 Speaker 13: have to be the Iranian people. But when people talk 427 00:23:09,600 --> 00:23:12,399 Speaker 13: about boots on the ground now, I mean it's the 428 00:23:12,480 --> 00:23:17,040 Speaker 13: Joint Staff and Sencom. I'm sure under the direction of 429 00:23:17,080 --> 00:23:21,200 Speaker 13: the President that has the Tripoli coming from Japan with 430 00:23:21,240 --> 00:23:25,119 Speaker 13: what twenty five hundred marines and the Boxer coming from 431 00:23:25,200 --> 00:23:28,439 Speaker 13: San Diego with twenty two hundred marines to head to 432 00:23:28,560 --> 00:23:32,760 Speaker 13: the North Arabian Sea to add a capacity and a capability. 433 00:23:32,840 --> 00:23:36,040 Speaker 13: Not it'll be used to actually have some sort of 434 00:23:36,920 --> 00:23:43,320 Speaker 13: amphibious assault or something upon carg Island and even the littoral, 435 00:23:43,400 --> 00:23:48,240 Speaker 13: the actual shores around Hormuz where they did this massive bombing. 436 00:23:48,720 --> 00:23:49,800 Speaker 2: I mean that's a potential. 437 00:23:49,880 --> 00:23:53,320 Speaker 13: So now they're talking about potentially and this has been 438 00:23:53,400 --> 00:23:56,440 Speaker 13: Nannielo has talked about this and people in the administration 439 00:23:56,560 --> 00:23:57,520 Speaker 13: have leaked to the. 440 00:23:57,480 --> 00:24:01,920 Speaker 2: Press about the possibility if you going to really make 441 00:24:01,960 --> 00:24:03,360 Speaker 2: sure that you have one. 442 00:24:03,240 --> 00:24:07,320 Speaker 13: Hundred and ten probability that they can't get nuclear again, 443 00:24:07,359 --> 00:24:09,440 Speaker 13: you got getting to get the material that somehow that'd 444 00:24:09,480 --> 00:24:12,919 Speaker 13: be a command or a special forces rate your assessment of that, 445 00:24:13,040 --> 00:24:17,199 Speaker 13: because this is the war as defined by Sencom and 446 00:24:17,240 --> 00:24:21,680 Speaker 13: their military objectives. You're defanging, declawing. I don't think there's 447 00:24:21,720 --> 00:24:23,720 Speaker 13: any doubt. Is we've had you on and gone through 448 00:24:23,760 --> 00:24:27,880 Speaker 13: now for what twenty two days or hermery days, We've 449 00:24:27,880 --> 00:24:31,040 Speaker 13: been at this, I think is going, as you said, 450 00:24:31,119 --> 00:24:34,880 Speaker 13: just right down, very methodically, and people should understand as 451 00:24:34,920 --> 00:24:38,119 Speaker 13: Pete Heggas tells us, every day is more intense than 452 00:24:38,200 --> 00:24:41,600 Speaker 13: the day before. I think he talked about what ten 453 00:24:42,880 --> 00:24:46,760 Speaker 13: eight thousand combat sorties already. So it's intense. But these 454 00:24:46,800 --> 00:24:49,399 Speaker 13: other aspects of it are because of the kind of 455 00:24:49,440 --> 00:24:53,240 Speaker 13: the expansion of the war away from just the declining 456 00:24:53,280 --> 00:24:53,960 Speaker 13: and defanging. 457 00:24:54,440 --> 00:24:58,960 Speaker 15: Captain Well, I think the movement of the two Mews 458 00:24:59,040 --> 00:25:01,359 Speaker 15: out of Japan and out of San Diego, in the 459 00:25:01,400 --> 00:25:04,919 Speaker 15: Boxer out of San Diego, I think that is you know, 460 00:25:04,960 --> 00:25:07,480 Speaker 15: they have a thing called the tip to the time 461 00:25:07,560 --> 00:25:12,400 Speaker 15: phased force movement process that the military has in their 462 00:25:12,400 --> 00:25:15,119 Speaker 15: work plans, and so we were probably at a point 463 00:25:15,160 --> 00:25:19,480 Speaker 15: in this process where if certain things didn't get resolved, 464 00:25:19,480 --> 00:25:22,520 Speaker 15: if certain actions didn't happen, then there was a plan 465 00:25:22,600 --> 00:25:26,720 Speaker 15: that said, okay, trip fees, these groups, these mews to 466 00:25:26,840 --> 00:25:29,360 Speaker 15: start moving towards the west so that we can have 467 00:25:29,400 --> 00:25:32,560 Speaker 15: that option to use them in some capacity. Now what 468 00:25:32,720 --> 00:25:35,840 Speaker 15: capacity is the real question, And my sense is is 469 00:25:35,880 --> 00:25:38,520 Speaker 15: given the tip for tat that's been going on against 470 00:25:38,600 --> 00:25:43,159 Speaker 15: these oil fields and what Iran did against Gutter, I 471 00:25:43,200 --> 00:25:46,840 Speaker 15: think the President's probably concerned that the Iranians, in the 472 00:25:46,960 --> 00:25:51,520 Speaker 15: last desperation like they did with these intermediate range ballistic 473 00:25:51,560 --> 00:25:55,840 Speaker 15: missiles towards Diego Garcia, maybe thinking we're going down, we're 474 00:25:55,880 --> 00:25:57,760 Speaker 15: gonna take out carg Island, and we're going to screw 475 00:25:57,800 --> 00:26:00,879 Speaker 15: up the world's economy. And so the President may have 476 00:26:01,680 --> 00:26:04,000 Speaker 15: decided that it's time to make sure that we secure 477 00:26:04,080 --> 00:26:07,679 Speaker 15: carg Island and that put in Patriot and other interceptor 478 00:26:07,800 --> 00:26:11,199 Speaker 15: systems there to protect it from the Iranians destroying it. 479 00:26:11,520 --> 00:26:13,600 Speaker 15: That's how I think if we're going to have any 480 00:26:13,720 --> 00:26:16,159 Speaker 15: kind of action there, it would be that way, and 481 00:26:16,680 --> 00:26:18,880 Speaker 15: MEW has got what they call a mw SOX Special 482 00:26:18,880 --> 00:26:21,960 Speaker 15: Operations Capable, so they'll be the kind of people that 483 00:26:22,000 --> 00:26:25,399 Speaker 15: will know how to look for unexploded ordnance, bought minds, 484 00:26:25,440 --> 00:26:28,120 Speaker 15: booby traps, things of that nature. But the goal would 485 00:26:28,119 --> 00:26:30,680 Speaker 15: be to protect the oil and make sure that Iran 486 00:26:30,760 --> 00:26:34,280 Speaker 15: cannot destroy the world's global oil supply. 487 00:26:36,320 --> 00:26:38,159 Speaker 13: Hang on for one second, we're we're gonna take a 488 00:26:38,160 --> 00:26:40,840 Speaker 13: short commercial break. Captain f and now Eric Bolling with 489 00:26:40,920 --> 00:26:44,400 Speaker 13: us Birch Gold Gold had the worst week I think 490 00:26:44,400 --> 00:26:48,600 Speaker 13: in forty three years.

But for the Navy to take this on 505 00:27:25,640 --> 00:27:29,760 Speaker 13: and keep it clear your thoughts, because this is the 506 00:27:29,840 --> 00:27:33,240 Speaker 13: question everybody's asking, particularly in global capital markets. 507 00:27:33,280 --> 00:27:37,760 Speaker 15: Sir, Yeah, Steve, I think, you know, while we discuss 508 00:27:37,840 --> 00:27:40,480 Speaker 15: and you know, before the war started, our my concerns 509 00:27:40,520 --> 00:27:42,360 Speaker 15: about the size of the US Navy and the lack 510 00:27:42,440 --> 00:27:46,440 Speaker 15: of ships, I think that with the two carrier strike 511 00:27:46,480 --> 00:27:49,360 Speaker 15: groups that are out there, the Ford and the Lincoln, 512 00:27:49,720 --> 00:27:53,080 Speaker 15: the French carrier that's out there with its sort of escorts, 513 00:27:53,200 --> 00:27:56,680 Speaker 15: we have ships right now that could start an escorting process. 514 00:27:56,760 --> 00:27:59,360 Speaker 15: The reason that we're not starting this because the commander 515 00:27:59,359 --> 00:28:02,600 Speaker 15: at Syncom is not convinced that he has eliminated the 516 00:28:02,640 --> 00:28:05,240 Speaker 15: threat in and around the Strait of Hormuz, and they're 517 00:28:05,280 --> 00:28:08,840 Speaker 15: gonna keep bombing and keep taking out all those resources 518 00:28:08,920 --> 00:28:11,520 Speaker 15: until they have that confidence and then they can come 519 00:28:11,560 --> 00:28:13,600 Speaker 15: in and start doing this. And I think when you 520 00:28:13,640 --> 00:28:15,880 Speaker 15: add in now that just got revealed in the last 521 00:28:15,920 --> 00:28:20,480 Speaker 15: twenty four hours at the UK, Germany, Italy, France and Japan, 522 00:28:20,600 --> 00:28:22,280 Speaker 15: and it was really give the credit to the Prime 523 00:28:22,280 --> 00:28:25,480 Speaker 15: Minister take Ichi for breaking the logjam and showing these 524 00:28:25,640 --> 00:28:29,919 Speaker 15: Europeans that our closest ally right now is Japan. And 525 00:28:29,960 --> 00:28:32,399 Speaker 15: so by her doing that, I think it unlocked the 526 00:28:32,400 --> 00:28:34,639 Speaker 15: people to say, okay, we're going to help. So add 527 00:28:34,640 --> 00:28:38,200 Speaker 15: in a dozen or show ships from those nations and 528 00:28:38,880 --> 00:28:42,520 Speaker 15: you develop a system. And by the way, as Admiral Donnegan, 529 00:28:42,600 --> 00:28:45,720 Speaker 15: the former commander of Fifth Fleet and absent, said last 530 00:28:45,760 --> 00:28:50,720 Speaker 15: Sunday on television on ABC, he said, in February, we 531 00:28:50,800 --> 00:28:54,520 Speaker 15: had just practiced. Thirty nations had practiced doing these kind 532 00:28:54,520 --> 00:28:58,200 Speaker 15: of escort operations. We've been practicing and training. We have 533 00:28:58,280 --> 00:29:02,040 Speaker 15: a standing maritime force that does this kind of work 534 00:29:02,040 --> 00:29:04,600 Speaker 15: out there in the fifth Fleet area of responsibility. So 535 00:29:04,680 --> 00:29:07,160 Speaker 15: this isn't just some pickup game or something that we're 536 00:29:08,080 --> 00:29:10,240 Speaker 15: picking up on the fly. These are things that we 537 00:29:10,360 --> 00:29:13,960 Speaker 15: trained to. There's people identified, there's command of control networks, 538 00:29:14,200 --> 00:29:18,760 Speaker 15: there's communications networks. There's all kinds of things that are 539 00:29:18,800 --> 00:29:22,560 Speaker 15: already well developed, well trained to, and we know how 540 00:29:22,600 --> 00:29:24,480 Speaker 15: to do it. It's just a matter of making sure 541 00:29:24,520 --> 00:29:28,360 Speaker 15: that you walk in and you know, let the guy 542 00:29:28,440 --> 00:29:30,640 Speaker 15: have you know, anti ship cruise missiles and start shooting 543 00:29:30,640 --> 00:29:32,520 Speaker 15: at you. You want to do everything in your power 544 00:29:33,200 --> 00:29:35,440 Speaker 15: to eliminate all of that, and that's what we're doing. 545 00:29:37,920 --> 00:29:41,120 Speaker 13: Captain.

Captain Fanel, 555 00:30:01,120 --> 00:30:05,720 Speaker 13: thank you on a Saturday kick us off, Eric. 556 00:30:05,600 --> 00:30:08,480 Speaker 2: Bowling, Eric Bowling. 557 00:30:08,720 --> 00:30:13,040 Speaker 13: Sure, the world you're banging right now focused on focused 558 00:30:13,080 --> 00:30:15,200 Speaker 13: on the oil and gas market straight or her moves, 559 00:30:15,320 --> 00:30:18,800 Speaker 13: but particularly now that's been fully developed this Americans ought 560 00:30:18,840 --> 00:30:21,920 Speaker 13: to be outraged of this. That's seventeen percent of the 561 00:30:21,920 --> 00:30:25,120 Speaker 13: capacity of liquor fried natural gas coming from that from 562 00:30:25,160 --> 00:30:26,800 Speaker 13: that joint Qatar. 563 00:30:27,240 --> 00:30:28,440 Speaker 2: Iranian oil field. 564 00:30:28,600 --> 00:30:30,520 Speaker 13: And have Captain Fanel right there say hey, it could 565 00:30:30,520 --> 00:30:33,800 Speaker 13: be Gododamarong with the Iranians the Persians to take it 566 00:30:33,840 --> 00:30:37,840 Speaker 13: all down around them and no offense, just logical war 567 00:30:38,000 --> 00:30:39,680 Speaker 13: if they feel they're going to get if they feel 568 00:30:39,720 --> 00:30:42,120 Speaker 13: they're going to get wiped out, and they're kind of messianic, 569 00:30:43,440 --> 00:30:47,800 Speaker 13: you know, a cultish Mahdi, twelfth Emon or thirteenth Imon, whoever, 570 00:30:47,800 --> 00:30:49,880 Speaker 13: it is, why not take it all down around you. 571 00:30:49,960 --> 00:30:53,280 Speaker 13: That's got to be in the playbook. The seventeen percent capacity. 572 00:30:53,320 --> 00:30:55,880 Speaker 13: And I think Iraq last night put in force masure 573 00:30:55,880 --> 00:31:01,840 Speaker 13: because their refiners have been hit. The the Kataris who 574 00:31:01,880 --> 00:31:05,560 Speaker 13: are outraged by this, because this attack was initiated by 575 00:31:05,640 --> 00:31:10,720 Speaker 13: the Israelis to start things off is I know, they're 576 00:31:10,760 --> 00:31:13,520 Speaker 13: lighting up the President saying, hey, you know, we didn't 577 00:31:13,560 --> 00:31:15,760 Speaker 13: start this war and now you know we could have 578 00:31:15,840 --> 00:31:18,080 Speaker 13: five years. We have to shut down this field. What's 579 00:31:18,120 --> 00:31:20,440 Speaker 13: the implication of all this and what's the way out 580 00:31:20,480 --> 00:31:20,680 Speaker 13: of here? 581 00:31:20,680 --> 00:31:23,960 Speaker 2: The President, Yes, you could tell hey, we won, I've done. 582 00:31:24,040 --> 00:31:25,640 Speaker 2: You know, Sencom's destroyed this thing. 583 00:31:25,720 --> 00:31:29,520 Speaker 13: Captain Fanel just reiterates what a magnificent job the military's doing. 584 00:31:29,800 --> 00:31:33,000 Speaker 13: And he's saying, hey, look, Cormus is your problem Europe 585 00:31:33,080 --> 00:31:36,560 Speaker 13: and Japan, in Asia, China, you guys deal with it. 586 00:31:36,600 --> 00:31:39,160 Speaker 2: Your thoughts Eric Bowling on a Saturday morning. 587 00:31:39,920 --> 00:31:43,960 Speaker 16: Yeah, Steve, thanks, I think you're right. And Captain's read 588 00:31:43,960 --> 00:31:47,640 Speaker 16: the game changed with the Israeli attack on that gas field, 589 00:31:47,640 --> 00:31:49,840 Speaker 16: because it becomes oil, This becomes you know, if there's 590 00:31:49,880 --> 00:31:51,840 Speaker 16: any question whether it was it was a you know, 591 00:31:51,920 --> 00:31:55,520 Speaker 16: let's degrade. There the Iranian's ability to deliver a nuclear weapon. 592 00:31:55,680 --> 00:31:58,040 Speaker 16: That was the original mission. That was, you know, let's 593 00:31:58,040 --> 00:32:02,120 Speaker 16: get rid of these crazy, fanatical mulla's. That was the mission. 594 00:32:02,120 --> 00:32:05,280 Speaker 16: Creeped to that, and I think everyone is now realized 595 00:32:05,320 --> 00:32:08,280 Speaker 16: that this is becoming about oil and maybe netting out 596 00:32:08,320 --> 00:32:09,920 Speaker 16: with the other day saying hey, it wouldn't be bad 597 00:32:09,920 --> 00:32:12,280 Speaker 16: to bring some of that oil through Israel. 598 00:32:12,400 --> 00:32:14,320 Speaker 9: I mean, that was the worst thing he possibly do. 599 00:32:14,480 --> 00:32:17,600 Speaker 9: So there's mission creep. Steve sought it. 600 00:32:17,640 --> 00:32:19,960 Speaker 2: Could he couldn't hold it. He couldn't hold back. He 601 00:32:20,000 --> 00:32:22,120 Speaker 2: couldn't he couldn't hold back for making it the pitch. 602 00:32:22,400 --> 00:32:23,440 Speaker 2: He couldn't hold back. 603 00:32:23,520 --> 00:32:26,160 Speaker 13: It was like if you had to take the dumbest 604 00:32:26,200 --> 00:32:28,960 Speaker 13: thing you could possibly say, that was the dumbest thing 605 00:32:29,000 --> 00:32:29,680 Speaker 13: you could possibly say. 606 00:32:29,960 --> 00:32:30,240 Speaker 8: Give it. 607 00:32:30,280 --> 00:32:31,360 Speaker 2: I'm giving the situation. 608 00:32:31,520 --> 00:32:33,680 Speaker 13: And this is a guy, this guy, this guy, this 609 00:32:33,720 --> 00:32:36,840 Speaker 13: guy is one of the worst people on earth. But 610 00:32:36,920 --> 00:32:38,440 Speaker 13: continue on, Sir I digress. 611 00:32:39,480 --> 00:32:42,360 Speaker 16: So that changed the game became on oil. You pull 612 00:32:42,480 --> 00:32:44,960 Speaker 16: natural gas out of the Middle East. Everyone's natural gall 613 00:32:45,280 --> 00:32:48,840 Speaker 16: Europe is really dependent on Middle Least and Russian natural gas. 614 00:32:48,840 --> 00:32:52,680 Speaker 16: That that brings it off. So liquifinancial gas can be shipped. 615 00:32:52,680 --> 00:32:54,960 Speaker 16: So if it's coming offline over there, someone will buy 616 00:32:55,000 --> 00:32:57,800 Speaker 16: it over here, even though it's more expensive to transport it. 617 00:32:57,840 --> 00:33:00,640 Speaker 16: But guess what, with prices higher, it may become That's 618 00:33:00,680 --> 00:33:04,160 Speaker 16: why oil is fungible, so wherever the price happens, it 619 00:33:04,160 --> 00:33:07,680 Speaker 16: doesn't matter of the location. That's why all ships, all 620 00:33:07,680 --> 00:33:12,280 Speaker 16: oil prices rise with one major disruption, zero ships one 621 00:33:12,320 --> 00:33:14,560 Speaker 16: hundred and thirty eight ships per day on average through 622 00:33:14,560 --> 00:33:18,800 Speaker 16: the straight up form moves zero ships at all, twenty 623 00:33:19,000 --> 00:33:21,880 Speaker 16: million barrels a day, zero barrels a day going through 624 00:33:21,920 --> 00:33:25,560 Speaker 16: Right now, I have a really listen. They have an 625 00:33:25,600 --> 00:33:28,400 Speaker 16: idea what they're doing in the situation room in DC, 626 00:33:29,040 --> 00:33:31,960 Speaker 16: but to allow Scott Besson says, we're going to allow 627 00:33:32,120 --> 00:33:35,320 Speaker 16: them to sell one hundred and forty million barrels of 628 00:33:35,400 --> 00:33:38,080 Speaker 16: Raanian oil that's sitting out in the sea in the 629 00:33:38,360 --> 00:33:41,400 Speaker 16: Gulf somewhere. We're going to give them fourteen billion dollars 630 00:33:41,520 --> 00:33:45,320 Speaker 16: fourteen billion dollars to play with. Steve you yourself said, 631 00:33:45,800 --> 00:33:48,680 Speaker 16: when the Iranians feel like this is an existential threat, 632 00:33:48,680 --> 00:33:51,480 Speaker 16: they'll fight to the death. We're going to hand them 633 00:33:51,520 --> 00:33:57,000 Speaker 16: a lifeline. We're going to feed them an injection of testosterone. 634 00:33:57,120 --> 00:33:59,960 Speaker 16: For lack of a better word, fourteen billion dollars can 635 00:34:00,360 --> 00:34:03,000 Speaker 16: a lot more time. This thing can go on a lot. 636 00:34:03,360 --> 00:34:05,440 Speaker 2: Hang on, hang on, hang on, hang on. 637 00:34:05,480 --> 00:34:08,640 Speaker 13: Are we absolutely we are we one hundred percent sure 638 00:34:09,320 --> 00:34:11,359 Speaker 13: that the cash because it's the way it's been kind 639 00:34:11,360 --> 00:34:11,919 Speaker 13: of talked about. 640 00:34:12,120 --> 00:34:13,720 Speaker 2: I'm not getting a straight answer. 641 00:34:13,880 --> 00:34:16,520 Speaker 13: Is the is the one hundred and forty million barrels 642 00:34:16,520 --> 00:34:19,920 Speaker 13: that are on the high seas? Is that cash actually 643 00:34:19,920 --> 00:34:23,520 Speaker 13: going to Iran? Or is Scott saying is best in saying, hey, uh, 644 00:34:23,800 --> 00:34:26,120 Speaker 13: we're going to control the payments also, and it may 645 00:34:26,160 --> 00:34:27,759 Speaker 13: come to pay down the expense of the war. 646 00:34:29,640 --> 00:34:32,399 Speaker 16: And in said that, all I heard was we're gonna 647 00:34:32,400 --> 00:34:34,160 Speaker 16: allow them to sell a hundred And I think what 648 00:34:34,239 --> 00:34:35,759 Speaker 16: it is is we talked about it for the last 649 00:34:35,800 --> 00:34:39,680 Speaker 16: two weeks. Steve the Achilles to Trump has the strongest 650 00:34:39,719 --> 00:34:41,480 Speaker 16: military in the world at his fingertips. 651 00:34:41,640 --> 00:34:42,680 Speaker 9: He's got an Achilles though. 652 00:34:42,719 --> 00:34:45,120 Speaker 16: It's the high gasoline price of the pump in an 653 00:34:45,160 --> 00:34:48,279 Speaker 16: election cycle, in the midterm election cycle, and they know that. 654 00:34:48,320 --> 00:34:50,920 Speaker 9: So the longer it drags out, the worst it becomes. 655 00:34:51,320 --> 00:34:52,560 Speaker 9: When you allow the. 656 00:34:52,520 --> 00:34:56,080 Speaker 16: Iranians and then you're gonna do a what about forty 657 00:34:56,200 --> 00:35:00,600 Speaker 16: day lift, not allowing Iranians to sell oil, the sanctions 658 00:35:00,600 --> 00:35:03,560 Speaker 16: against Rainian oil, that's not part of what Besson said. 659 00:35:03,600 --> 00:35:07,000 Speaker 16: They're gonna allow Iranians to sell oil because the Chinese 660 00:35:07,000 --> 00:35:07,920 Speaker 16: are buying it too. 661 00:35:07,840 --> 00:35:11,040 Speaker 9: Cheap right now. I just don't know. Some of them 662 00:35:11,120 --> 00:35:13,320 Speaker 9: doesn't make sense to me. That's that's what That's basically 663 00:35:13,320 --> 00:35:13,920 Speaker 9: what I'm saying. 664 00:35:14,080 --> 00:35:16,480 Speaker 16: But I do know when the Randians feel like it's 665 00:35:16,840 --> 00:35:19,640 Speaker 16: this or the end, they're going to fight to the deskty. 666 00:35:19,719 --> 00:35:22,799 Speaker 16: They have probably two or three thousand the equivalent of 667 00:35:22,800 --> 00:35:25,880 Speaker 16: our Tomahawk missiles. Remember that's probably I don't know what 668 00:35:25,960 --> 00:35:29,359 Speaker 16: two thousand mile shoreline for the Straight of hor Moves 669 00:35:29,360 --> 00:35:33,319 Speaker 16: and the Gulf of Urgent Persian Golf that they can they. 670 00:35:33,320 --> 00:35:36,160 Speaker 9: Can lob missiles, and they can also use. 671 00:35:36,080 --> 00:35:40,880 Speaker 16: These unmanned drone kind of mines throughout throughout the gulf. 672 00:35:40,960 --> 00:35:43,759 Speaker 16: So I told you we spoke to a captain who 673 00:35:43,880 --> 00:35:45,720 Speaker 16: and not captain of a guy who owns a shipping 674 00:35:45,719 --> 00:35:48,000 Speaker 16: company that ships through the Straight of Horror Moves. 675 00:35:48,080 --> 00:35:50,920 Speaker 9: He says, it doesn't matter. The US Navy ships aren't 676 00:35:51,080 --> 00:35:51,400 Speaker 9: doing it. 677 00:35:51,440 --> 00:35:53,400 Speaker 16: They're not in that area right now because it's not 678 00:35:53,719 --> 00:35:58,200 Speaker 16: safe so they're not even safe with our major destroyers. 679 00:35:58,200 --> 00:36:00,600 Speaker 9: And and you know, mind sweet if it's not. 680 00:36:02,480 --> 00:36:05,759 Speaker 13: When you know, when you notice, when you notice the combatants, 681 00:36:05,840 --> 00:36:08,560 Speaker 13: when you notice the combatants are not cruising through there, 682 00:36:08,560 --> 00:36:11,520 Speaker 13: that's always a good signal that Sincom has not cleared 683 00:36:11,520 --> 00:36:14,000 Speaker 13: the area. So what's what's going to happen? And you've 684 00:36:14,040 --> 00:36:17,600 Speaker 13: been great at predicting. Uh, these markets. Now one of 685 00:36:17,640 --> 00:36:20,239 Speaker 13: the issues the audience try understand the longer they stay 686 00:36:20,320 --> 00:36:24,200 Speaker 13: up and also understand this the Arab nations which are 687 00:36:24,239 --> 00:36:26,839 Speaker 13: going crazy saying we didn't start this, we didn't want 688 00:36:26,840 --> 00:36:29,200 Speaker 13: to do it, and now you're crushing us. The Bay's crush. 689 00:36:29,400 --> 00:36:30,920 Speaker 13: You know, it's not going to be right for thirty 690 00:36:31,000 --> 00:36:33,960 Speaker 13: or forty years. They're also playing the double game in 691 00:36:34,000 --> 00:36:36,560 Speaker 13: the fact that they they love one hundred dollars oil right. 692 00:36:36,840 --> 00:36:39,280 Speaker 13: Trump had it down at fifteen. Trump wanted full spectrum 693 00:36:39,320 --> 00:36:42,840 Speaker 13: enterity dominants at forty. Uh, it's going to the other direction. 694 00:36:43,239 --> 00:36:45,520 Speaker 13: They're in no hurry to get it below one hundred bucks, 695 00:36:45,560 --> 00:36:45,960 Speaker 13: are they? 696 00:36:46,920 --> 00:36:46,960 Speaker 3: No? 697 00:36:47,120 --> 00:36:50,000 Speaker 9: You we yeah. We talked about the. 698 00:36:51,480 --> 00:36:54,640 Speaker 16: Katari's and Saudi's and the Varni's and the Omani saying 699 00:36:54,640 --> 00:36:57,720 Speaker 16: go Trump, go we got and then they all shut 700 00:36:57,760 --> 00:37:00,839 Speaker 16: in production the minute there they can they declare force 701 00:37:00,880 --> 00:37:03,319 Speaker 16: measures whether they have to or not, because they can 702 00:37:03,400 --> 00:37:06,160 Speaker 16: hide behind the war as a potential force measure. Because 703 00:37:06,400 --> 00:37:08,680 Speaker 16: I certainly like to sell my oil at one hundred 704 00:37:08,680 --> 00:37:11,239 Speaker 16: and ten dollars a barrel versus the fifty five dollars 705 00:37:11,320 --> 00:37:13,640 Speaker 16: a barrel it was when we cut that deal, so 706 00:37:13,680 --> 00:37:15,600 Speaker 16: they can force measure on the fifty five and sell 707 00:37:15,640 --> 00:37:18,080 Speaker 16: it for one hundred. They're not going to bring production 708 00:37:18,239 --> 00:37:21,640 Speaker 16: online right away. You clear the Gulf tomorrow. It could 709 00:37:21,680 --> 00:37:24,480 Speaker 16: be thirty forty five, maybe ninety days before some of 710 00:37:24,239 --> 00:37:28,240 Speaker 16: these countries bring it back online. Because they know, they 711 00:37:28,320 --> 00:37:31,520 Speaker 16: know that they can They can slowly, slowly reduce the 712 00:37:31,560 --> 00:37:36,000 Speaker 16: price of oil themselves without Trump and without supply or demand. 713 00:37:36,000 --> 00:37:38,359 Speaker 16: They can just pull the supply off the mark, keep 714 00:37:38,360 --> 00:37:40,799 Speaker 16: the supply off the market longer. So we'll work through 715 00:37:40,800 --> 00:37:43,520 Speaker 16: our stock piles, which are backing up. We'll work through that, 716 00:37:43,560 --> 00:37:44,920 Speaker 16: and all of a sudden, we wait a minute, where's 717 00:37:44,920 --> 00:37:46,759 Speaker 16: the new oil? Well, you know, it took us a 718 00:37:46,760 --> 00:37:49,080 Speaker 16: long time to restart those oil fields. It took them 719 00:37:49,080 --> 00:37:51,040 Speaker 16: a day to bring them down and take them three 720 00:37:51,120 --> 00:37:54,000 Speaker 16: four months. Because they want the higher prices. I'm very 721 00:37:54,040 --> 00:37:57,480 Speaker 16: skeptical that all these Middle East and Arab countries aren't 722 00:37:57,520 --> 00:38:02,239 Speaker 16: actually winking a nod, maybe even communicating with tront or 723 00:38:02,239 --> 00:38:05,319 Speaker 16: whoever's running the show the IRGC and said, just let 724 00:38:05,440 --> 00:38:07,640 Speaker 16: us know before you're going to bomb that refinery, or 725 00:38:07,920 --> 00:38:10,640 Speaker 16: let us know before you can bomb that oil platform, 726 00:38:10,760 --> 00:38:12,400 Speaker 16: so that we'll remove our people. 727 00:38:12,480 --> 00:38:15,720 Speaker 9: Guess what we'll see oil prices later? Stee. 728 00:38:15,960 --> 00:38:17,680 Speaker 16: The first day we were on a couple of weeks ago, 729 00:38:17,880 --> 00:38:20,680 Speaker 16: is gasoline was I think it was three dollars and 730 00:38:20,680 --> 00:38:22,480 Speaker 16: eleven cents, And I said, it's going to be four dollars. 731 00:38:22,480 --> 00:38:24,880 Speaker 16: I guarantee it. Well, we're gonna hit four dollars probably 732 00:38:25,120 --> 00:38:27,799 Speaker 16: on Monday. People stopped, they laughed, I'm going to make 733 00:38:27,800 --> 00:38:32,160 Speaker 16: an ominous prediction right here. Five dollars gasoline nationally, that's 734 00:38:32,480 --> 00:38:38,319 Speaker 16: seven dollars diesel. Diesel is what we run this country on, trucks, planes, railroads. 735 00:38:38,560 --> 00:38:43,080 Speaker 16: Diesel fuel is vital to the economy. Eight dollar diesel 736 00:38:43,560 --> 00:38:47,640 Speaker 16: probably baked in the cake already. 737 00:38:47,760 --> 00:38:50,400 Speaker 13: Wow, So what's going to happen next week? Give us 738 00:38:50,400 --> 00:38:53,240 Speaker 13: a give us a give us a forecast. 739 00:38:54,960 --> 00:38:57,840 Speaker 16: I think you can see massive volatility in the oil. 740 00:38:57,880 --> 00:39:00,480 Speaker 16: It will be a rumor that everything's great, things are 741 00:39:00,520 --> 00:39:03,480 Speaker 16: going well. Oil'll be down ten dollars a barrow a 742 00:39:03,560 --> 00:39:05,799 Speaker 16: couple of days. Then wait a minute, Raandian said, oh, 743 00:39:05,960 --> 00:39:09,400 Speaker 16: not so fast. Maybe they'll fire a missile into somewhere 744 00:39:09,960 --> 00:39:12,280 Speaker 16: sensitive Oil'll be back up to ten dollars. 745 00:39:12,560 --> 00:39:14,840 Speaker 9: I think we're trending a lot higher, at least the 746 00:39:14,880 --> 00:39:16,520 Speaker 9: short terms. 747 00:39:18,320 --> 00:39:20,359 Speaker 13: Eric Bowling, where do people go to get your thank 748 00:39:20,400 --> 00:39:22,839 Speaker 13: you for stepping out today and on Saturday and doing this. 749 00:39:23,440 --> 00:39:26,400 Speaker 13: Where do people go to get all your insights in 750 00:39:26,440 --> 00:39:27,000 Speaker 13: your new show? 751 00:39:28,160 --> 00:39:29,680 Speaker 9: New Show's the edge, It's right there on the screen. 752 00:39:29,719 --> 00:39:30,520 Speaker 9: I appreciate you doing that. 753 00:39:30,520 --> 00:39:32,600 Speaker 16: Every time we do this, we get a bunch of 754 00:39:32,640 --> 00:39:36,799 Speaker 16: your amazing war room audience that come and enjoy and 755 00:39:36,800 --> 00:39:37,799 Speaker 16: just subscribe right there. 756 00:39:37,920 --> 00:39:39,759 Speaker 9: And you can always catch me right before. 757 00:39:39,800 --> 00:39:42,280 Speaker 16: Ban's war Room every day on RAB at four o'clock, 758 00:39:42,280 --> 00:39:44,600 Speaker 16: I lead into Steve's five o'clock hour, where you will 759 00:39:44,680 --> 00:39:46,920 Speaker 16: learn a lot of stuff.

He said, it's a 808 00:41:50,719 --> 00:41:52,600 Speaker 13: hundred tree in a debt. He may be closer to 809 00:41:52,640 --> 00:41:55,960 Speaker 13: the facts. What did someone who was on the show.

That 825 00:42:40,440 --> 00:42:42,200 Speaker 13: one goes in the Red Sea and up to Suez, 826 00:42:42,920 --> 00:42:44,920 Speaker 13: which is one hundred percent to the Europeans. We had 827 00:42:44,920 --> 00:42:48,360 Speaker 13: a carry battle group and the Huties, look, they're honri, 828 00:42:48,760 --> 00:42:50,680 Speaker 13: they're tough on brace. They were given as good as 829 00:42:50,680 --> 00:42:51,279 Speaker 13: they got them. 830 00:42:51,640 --> 00:42:51,879 Speaker 2: Right. 831 00:42:52,640 --> 00:42:54,719 Speaker 13: Uh, it's a European problem, we said at the time, 832 00:42:54,800 --> 00:42:58,480 Speaker 13: in the European, in China and Japan, Hormuz. 833 00:42:58,080 --> 00:43:01,160 Speaker 2: That's your deal, not our deal. We're all good. 834 00:43:01,560 --> 00:43:03,880 Speaker 13: Of course, it affects the global economy and that impacts us, 835 00:43:03,880 --> 00:43:07,239 Speaker 13: but we're all good, so I think President Trump, he 836 00:43:07,280 --> 00:43:09,880 Speaker 13: was pretty adamant on the on the on the lawn 837 00:43:09,880 --> 00:43:11,759 Speaker 13: getting ready to go to mar Lagger Yes today, saying, hey, 838 00:43:11,760 --> 00:43:13,239 Speaker 13: look I took care of I took care I took 839 00:43:13,239 --> 00:43:15,640 Speaker 13: the new k K Biddle sank the Navy, blew up 840 00:43:15,680 --> 00:43:18,239 Speaker 13: their air force, did all of this. You guys have 841 00:43:18,400 --> 00:43:20,440 Speaker 13: really pitched in. In fact, you've been kind of hemmin 842 00:43:20,520 --> 00:43:24,000 Speaker 13: and Han. Time to step up as President Trump putting, 843 00:43:24,000 --> 00:43:26,560 Speaker 13: as we've seen in the Navy, a shot across the 844 00:43:26,600 --> 00:43:30,760 Speaker 13: bow on the two main things, one of the Chinese 845 00:43:30,800 --> 00:43:34,480 Speaker 13: commediest Party's existential threat, the other's artificial intelligence and hurtling 846 00:43:34,560 --> 00:43:38,239 Speaker 13: towards the singularity code. Read is the book that you 847 00:43:38,320 --> 00:43:40,560 Speaker 13: need to get up to speed on what this really 848 00:43:40,600 --> 00:43:44,160 Speaker 13: means politics and for your kids. Look the jobs apocalypse. 849 00:43:44,200 --> 00:43:45,560 Speaker 13: You know, Palell came out the other day and had 850 00:43:45,600 --> 00:43:47,560 Speaker 13: pretty shocking news. And we're going to get EJ and 851 00:43:47,640 --> 00:43:50,799 Speaker 13: Tony up next week. He's been traveling around. He gave 852 00:43:50,840 --> 00:43:53,160 Speaker 13: a big interview to the Financial Times about the economy. 853 00:43:53,200 --> 00:43:56,160 Speaker 13: But it was kind of a shocker. Went because I 854 00:43:56,160 --> 00:43:58,520 Speaker 13: think it gets the heart of this AI situation and 855 00:43:58,560 --> 00:44:00,400 Speaker 13: people got to remember when they see these announce it 856 00:44:00,480 --> 00:44:03,160 Speaker 13: big layoffs, if they don't say it's related to AI, 857 00:44:03,360 --> 00:44:04,560 Speaker 13: it is all related to AI. 858 00:44:05,040 --> 00:44:06,640 Speaker 2: Okay, the cunning staff, et cetera. 859 00:44:06,800 --> 00:44:11,040 Speaker 13: So code rid gets into this and particularly the crisis 860 00:44:11,040 --> 00:44:14,480 Speaker 13: we're going to face on job creation and particularly high 861 00:44:14,600 --> 00:44:18,239 Speaker 13: value added job creation that people can really build a 862 00:44:18,320 --> 00:44:20,520 Speaker 13: family of for around sir. 863 00:44:22,040 --> 00:44:24,280 Speaker 17: Yes, I mean one of the things we all remember 864 00:44:24,360 --> 00:44:27,160 Speaker 17: was rama Manuel never let a crisis go to waste. 865 00:44:27,360 --> 00:44:30,600 Speaker 17: I think we really have to understand the political power 866 00:44:30,640 --> 00:44:33,960 Speaker 17: game that's being played here. So sometimes you hear from 867 00:44:34,000 --> 00:44:36,920 Speaker 17: the conservative moment, oh this is all hype, it's just marketing. 868 00:44:37,040 --> 00:44:40,640 Speaker 17: You're trying to raise capital investment and so forth. And 869 00:44:40,719 --> 00:44:44,080 Speaker 17: you know, we've heard in the Industrial Revolution that you know, 870 00:44:44,200 --> 00:44:46,000 Speaker 17: all of this was going to be a disruption and 871 00:44:46,040 --> 00:44:47,840 Speaker 17: it ended up creating more jobs. 872 00:44:48,000 --> 00:44:49,719 Speaker 18: It's the lump of labor fallacy. 873 00:44:50,000 --> 00:44:52,240 Speaker 17: I think what we need to understand is it almost 874 00:44:52,320 --> 00:44:55,560 Speaker 17: doesn't matter which way this turns out, because it can 875 00:44:55,600 --> 00:44:59,560 Speaker 17: be weaponized to build support for universal basic income and 876 00:44:59,680 --> 00:45:01,880 Speaker 17: that year in panic. So whether you think it is 877 00:45:01,920 --> 00:45:04,719 Speaker 17: going to happen or you don't, you're going to see 878 00:45:04,719 --> 00:45:06,640 Speaker 17: efforts to push it and let me just give you 879 00:45:06,680 --> 00:45:09,000 Speaker 17: a couple of quick examples of that, so we all 880 00:45:09,040 --> 00:45:11,440 Speaker 17: know that. Of course, Elon Musk has said that AI 881 00:45:11,800 --> 00:45:16,680 Speaker 17: is a quote super sonic tsunami headed towards humanity, right, 882 00:45:16,840 --> 00:45:18,920 Speaker 17: and I think we all agree it's going to affect 883 00:45:18,960 --> 00:45:21,880 Speaker 17: everything from education, the jobs, the national security. 884 00:45:22,040 --> 00:45:23,120 Speaker 18: And that's literally why I. 885 00:45:23,080 --> 00:45:25,239 Speaker 17: Wrote Code Read to kind of walk us through all 886 00:45:25,280 --> 00:45:28,759 Speaker 17: of the different fault lines as this seismic shift unfolds. 887 00:45:29,040 --> 00:45:32,439 Speaker 17: The second thing is, of course, Dario Amiday, the head 888 00:45:32,440 --> 00:45:35,560 Speaker 17: of Anthropics, saying just a month and a half ago 889 00:45:35,920 --> 00:45:40,880 Speaker 17: that in twelve months, Steve, we're not talking about out 890 00:45:40,680 --> 00:45:42,400 Speaker 17: into the wild future. 891 00:45:42,480 --> 00:45:44,319 Speaker 18: This is twelve months from now. 892 00:45:44,640 --> 00:45:48,279 Speaker 17: He says, we're looking at between twelve months and five years, 893 00:45:48,360 --> 00:45:54,040 Speaker 17: fifty percent of all entry level white collar jobs being disrupted. 894 00:45:54,120 --> 00:45:56,920 Speaker 17: Now that's our college kids, right, the kids, our kids, 895 00:45:57,080 --> 00:45:58,680 Speaker 17: you know, so you take out a big loan to 896 00:45:58,719 --> 00:46:01,520 Speaker 17: get your kid through college, they play by the rules, 897 00:46:01,520 --> 00:46:04,040 Speaker 17: You do everything you can. And now you're talking about 898 00:46:04,040 --> 00:46:07,680 Speaker 17: a wipe out of that lower rung of starting. And 899 00:46:07,719 --> 00:46:10,080 Speaker 17: we all know we all had great mentors, and you 900 00:46:10,160 --> 00:46:12,400 Speaker 17: have to be able to move yourself up professionally and 901 00:46:12,440 --> 00:46:15,960 Speaker 17: develop if you hack off that lower rung of the 902 00:46:16,239 --> 00:46:19,680 Speaker 17: job opportunity. What's that going to hollow out for middle 903 00:46:19,719 --> 00:46:21,960 Speaker 17: management and upper management long term? 904 00:46:21,960 --> 00:46:23,680 Speaker 18: But more than that, what are those kids going to do? 905 00:46:23,880 --> 00:46:26,080 Speaker 18: And then Mustafa Suliman. 906 00:46:25,800 --> 00:46:30,400 Speaker 17: Microsoft AI CEO says it in twelve to eighteen months 907 00:46:30,400 --> 00:46:33,960 Speaker 17: again just from now, we're looking at the ability to 908 00:46:34,040 --> 00:46:38,319 Speaker 17: replace one hundred percent of white collar job tasks, not 909 00:46:38,480 --> 00:46:40,920 Speaker 17: exact jobs, but he is seeing the task that you 910 00:46:40,960 --> 00:46:42,480 Speaker 17: would be able to do and so over. 911 00:46:42,360 --> 00:46:43,680 Speaker 18: Time automating that away. 912 00:46:43,920 --> 00:46:46,479 Speaker 17: Now, if you think that that is a bunch of hype, 913 00:46:46,680 --> 00:46:52,600 Speaker 17: fund that's great, but understand forces very well funded are 914 00:46:52,800 --> 00:46:56,239 Speaker 17: using that fear mechanism, whether you think it's real or not, 915 00:46:56,640 --> 00:47:00,360 Speaker 17: to build support for things like universal basic income, wealth 916 00:47:00,360 --> 00:47:04,480 Speaker 17: re distribution, a global economic reset. We've seen Bill Gates 917 00:47:04,480 --> 00:47:07,319 Speaker 17: seating the narrative terrain with this idea of a three 918 00:47:07,440 --> 00:47:11,040 Speaker 17: or a four day work week. We've seen the Bernie 919 00:47:11,080 --> 00:47:14,440 Speaker 17: Sanders element of that as well, trying to argue for 920 00:47:14,480 --> 00:47:17,879 Speaker 17: a European style, you know, thirty seven hour a week 921 00:47:18,320 --> 00:47:21,200 Speaker 17: work week and so forth. So the point that you 922 00:47:21,239 --> 00:47:22,640 Speaker 17: have to understand, and this is what I try to 923 00:47:22,640 --> 00:47:25,160 Speaker 17: do in code red is explain that this is a 924 00:47:25,320 --> 00:47:28,279 Speaker 17: power game just as much as it is a tool 925 00:47:28,680 --> 00:47:32,680 Speaker 17: that we might use for productivity or our own efficiencies 926 00:47:32,719 --> 00:47:35,359 Speaker 17: and so forth. And I think that's the real way 927 00:47:35,400 --> 00:47:35,879 Speaker 17: to get ahead. 928 00:47:35,920 --> 00:47:37,759 Speaker 18: I mean, one of the things I've always learned from you. 929 00:47:38,440 --> 00:47:40,440 Speaker 17: Is you've got to be able to connect those dots 930 00:47:40,480 --> 00:47:43,560 Speaker 17: so that you can think five steps ahead of where 931 00:47:43,560 --> 00:47:45,319 Speaker 17: somebody else is on that chessboard. 932 00:47:45,400 --> 00:47:47,319 Speaker 18: And that's what code rad tries to do. 933 00:47:48,120 --> 00:47:51,279 Speaker 13: The question the audience has got is where have you 934 00:47:51,400 --> 00:47:52,680 Speaker 13: been for the last decade? 935 00:47:52,680 --> 00:47:52,799 Speaker 18: Man? 936 00:47:52,840 --> 00:47:54,879 Speaker 2: You should have been out hammering this stuff forever, not 937 00:47:54,960 --> 00:47:56,040 Speaker 2: just this but other topics. 938 00:47:56,040 --> 00:48:00,200 Speaker 13: One of the best minds about how to message, how 939 00:48:00,239 --> 00:48:02,520 Speaker 13: to lay it out there, Winton Hall.
