1 00:00:04,600 --> 00:00:06,040 Speaker 1: Well, like many of you, I woke up to the 2 00:00:06,080 --> 00:00:12,000 Speaker 1: news that the United States and Israel began their strikes 3 00:00:12,080 --> 00:00:15,840 Speaker 1: on Iran. And the intent and the intent, according to 4 00:00:15,880 --> 00:00:18,840 Speaker 1: President Trump and taped remarks in an interview with The 5 00:00:18,880 --> 00:00:23,800 Speaker 1: Washington Post, is regime change. So let's take a step 6 00:00:23,800 --> 00:00:29,280 Speaker 1: back here. There's a lot to unpack. Number One, America 7 00:00:30,280 --> 00:00:36,400 Speaker 1: and Donald Trump's America has embraced the role of world's policemen. Now. 8 00:00:36,400 --> 00:00:41,199 Speaker 1: It is something that he vigorously campaigned against. It is 9 00:00:41,360 --> 00:00:44,960 Speaker 1: what arguably made him unique in the Republican field back 10 00:00:44,960 --> 00:00:48,640 Speaker 1: in twenty fifteen and twenty sixteen, when he did something 11 00:00:48,680 --> 00:00:53,080 Speaker 1: that at the time seemed sacrilege inside the Republican Party. 12 00:00:53,560 --> 00:00:59,280 Speaker 1: He eviscerated the Bush Cheney administration for the Iraq War 13 00:00:59,400 --> 00:01:02,680 Speaker 1: and how it did it. He spent twenty sixteen, twenty 14 00:01:02,760 --> 00:01:05,280 Speaker 1: twenty and twenty twenty four and all three of those campaigns. 15 00:01:05,280 --> 00:01:09,440 Speaker 1: In the last ninety days. You can find plenty of clips, 16 00:01:09,480 --> 00:01:12,839 Speaker 1: plenty of rally speeches where he said, if you don't 17 00:01:12,880 --> 00:01:16,240 Speaker 1: want new wars, vote for me. If you vote from 18 00:01:16,280 --> 00:01:18,559 Speaker 1: my opponent, I promise you they're going to start a war. 19 00:01:18,880 --> 00:01:26,160 Speaker 1: And he would specifically talk about Iran so to say 20 00:01:26,200 --> 00:01:28,560 Speaker 1: that he did not campaign on this as an understatement. 21 00:01:28,600 --> 00:01:36,040 Speaker 1: If anything, he campaigned exactly against this. Now, regime change 22 00:01:36,040 --> 00:01:40,360 Speaker 1: would be great. Let's not pretend that's not beat around 23 00:01:40,360 --> 00:01:50,440 Speaker 1: the bush. Here, a free Iran, the future is endless. Okay, 24 00:01:50,680 --> 00:01:54,320 Speaker 1: it could be transformational. So I'm not gonna let's not 25 00:01:54,400 --> 00:01:57,920 Speaker 1: pretend that a good outcome here isn't fantastic for the 26 00:01:57,920 --> 00:02:02,040 Speaker 1: world and for the region. The question is whether it's 27 00:02:02,080 --> 00:02:08,560 Speaker 1: as easy as it looks. It is one thing to 28 00:02:08,639 --> 00:02:12,440 Speaker 1: do this from the air, but as we learned, what 29 00:02:12,520 --> 00:02:17,760 Speaker 1: looks easy. Toppling Saddam Hussein was easy. Rebuilding Iraq was hard. 30 00:02:18,680 --> 00:02:24,799 Speaker 1: Toppling Kamani may be easy. Rebuilding Iran, a country much 31 00:02:24,800 --> 00:02:27,919 Speaker 1: bigger than Iraq, is not going to be easy. It's 32 00:02:27,960 --> 00:02:34,440 Speaker 1: going to be quite difficult. Obviously, we know that there 33 00:02:34,440 --> 00:02:38,440 Speaker 1: are plenty of Iranians that want their country back. We 34 00:02:38,600 --> 00:02:43,960 Speaker 1: know this is an oppressive regime, and I look forward 35 00:02:44,240 --> 00:02:52,440 Speaker 1: to Iranians getting a free country and a democracy. This 36 00:02:52,480 --> 00:03:00,760 Speaker 1: would be an incredible thing. But I can't help but 37 00:03:00,960 --> 00:03:04,360 Speaker 1: ask and wonder, are we is this really going to 38 00:03:04,400 --> 00:03:10,960 Speaker 1: be this easy? It rarely is. Now Here's the president 39 00:03:12,639 --> 00:03:16,720 Speaker 1: did prepare the country that American soldiers might die in 40 00:03:16,720 --> 00:03:20,600 Speaker 1: this operation. But what he did not prepare the country 41 00:03:20,600 --> 00:03:29,160 Speaker 1: for is the fallout, is the terrorist fallout that unfortunately 42 00:03:29,360 --> 00:03:34,200 Speaker 1: is going to happen, whether it's in Tel Aviv, Jerusalem, Real, 43 00:03:35,400 --> 00:03:42,840 Speaker 1: New York, Washington, la. The Iranian military is not going 44 00:03:42,880 --> 00:03:45,840 Speaker 1: to be able to withstand this. They are not going 45 00:03:45,880 --> 00:03:53,160 Speaker 1: to be able to conventionally push back. But we do 46 00:03:53,280 --> 00:03:55,320 Speaker 1: need to be vigilant about the fact that there is 47 00:03:55,440 --> 00:04:01,680 Speaker 1: going to be asymmetrical fallout from this. This is America 48 00:04:01,720 --> 00:04:08,400 Speaker 1: the aggressor. We have now gone into Venezuela and essentially 49 00:04:08,440 --> 00:04:10,400 Speaker 1: said we're going to do regime change, and we're in 50 00:04:10,400 --> 00:04:15,800 Speaker 1: the middle of it. We have done this now and 51 00:04:15,920 --> 00:04:23,440 Speaker 1: we have said it out loud with Iran. We have 52 00:04:23,520 --> 00:04:28,520 Speaker 1: pledged to help rebuild Gaza. Let's look at the everything 53 00:04:28,560 --> 00:04:31,840 Speaker 1: on here. We've got. By the way, just before striking Iran, 54 00:04:31,880 --> 00:04:35,800 Speaker 1: the President of the United States talked about I think 55 00:04:35,839 --> 00:04:41,839 Speaker 1: he called it a clean takeover of Cuba. So politically, 56 00:04:42,320 --> 00:04:46,480 Speaker 1: good luck explaining the American people who aren't happy about 57 00:04:46,520 --> 00:04:49,880 Speaker 1: high prices, who aren't happy about this economy, who aren't 58 00:04:49,880 --> 00:04:52,680 Speaker 1: happy about what a the threat of AI to the 59 00:04:53,000 --> 00:04:57,320 Speaker 1: long term future of work in America is that we're 60 00:04:57,320 --> 00:05:00,880 Speaker 1: going to rebuild Iran. We're in a nation build in Venezuela. 61 00:05:01,040 --> 00:05:04,960 Speaker 1: We're going to nation build in Cuba, and it's not 62 00:05:05,040 --> 00:05:09,039 Speaker 1: a nation It could be someday, but we've already pledged 63 00:05:09,080 --> 00:05:15,000 Speaker 1: to rebuild Gaza. So Gaza, Iran, Venezuela, Cuba, all in 64 00:05:15,160 --> 00:05:18,720 Speaker 1: just over a year. Responsibilities now in the United States. 65 00:05:19,600 --> 00:05:25,279 Speaker 1: And make no mistake, this is the famous pottery barn 66 00:05:25,360 --> 00:05:29,679 Speaker 1: rule that Colin Powell wants to vote invoked about Iran, 67 00:05:30,040 --> 00:05:34,720 Speaker 1: about Iraq, if you break it, ye own it. So 68 00:05:34,839 --> 00:05:39,440 Speaker 1: we are destroying Tehran right now. We are destroying big 69 00:05:39,480 --> 00:05:46,240 Speaker 1: pockets of Iran right now. We have a moral responsibility 70 00:05:46,320 --> 00:05:52,080 Speaker 1: and ethical responsibility because just walking away, the consequences of 71 00:05:52,120 --> 00:05:56,560 Speaker 1: that are even worse than some of the consequences we've 72 00:05:56,600 --> 00:06:03,720 Speaker 1: all been thinking about. Another angle to this story that 73 00:06:03,920 --> 00:06:08,280 Speaker 1: just needs underlining here is that the irrelevance of Congress continues. 74 00:06:10,240 --> 00:06:15,880 Speaker 1: The fact that we'll see how members of Congress react 75 00:06:16,080 --> 00:06:18,159 Speaker 1: the so called Gang of Eight, which is made up 76 00:06:18,200 --> 00:06:20,240 Speaker 1: of course, of the Senate, the two Senate leaders, to 77 00:06:20,279 --> 00:06:24,760 Speaker 1: two House leaders, the Ranking and Chair of the House Intel, 78 00:06:24,839 --> 00:06:26,760 Speaker 1: and the Ranking and Chair of the Senate Intel. There's 79 00:06:26,760 --> 00:06:29,640 Speaker 1: your eight, your so called gang of eight. They all 80 00:06:29,680 --> 00:06:33,440 Speaker 1: were giving a heads up. Looks like it was Marco 81 00:06:33,480 --> 00:06:37,080 Speaker 1: Rubio that did the calls to Mark Warner, at least 82 00:06:37,120 --> 00:06:38,760 Speaker 1: to some of the Democrats. We don't know if it 83 00:06:38,839 --> 00:06:41,480 Speaker 1: was all of them, if he did all the calls, 84 00:06:41,480 --> 00:06:44,719 Speaker 1: but we do know the Democrats have gone public and 85 00:06:44,760 --> 00:06:46,920 Speaker 1: said that they spoke to Reveal before the strike started. 86 00:06:49,240 --> 00:06:52,360 Speaker 1: As I went through this earlier this week, the rationale 87 00:06:52,680 --> 00:06:55,839 Speaker 1: the President gave seemed to really be regime change, and 88 00:06:55,880 --> 00:06:58,599 Speaker 1: he never just said regime change, right, he was sort of, well, 89 00:06:58,640 --> 00:07:00,920 Speaker 1: there's the nuclear thing, but then he said we had 90 00:07:00,920 --> 00:07:05,480 Speaker 1: obliterated their nuclear program. Then they expanded it to ballistic missiles. Essentially, 91 00:07:06,120 --> 00:07:08,880 Speaker 1: what they were saying and what was the subtex Now, 92 00:07:09,040 --> 00:07:14,600 Speaker 1: in hindsight, pretty obvious is the regime is a danger 93 00:07:14,920 --> 00:07:21,200 Speaker 1: and is an imminent threat. That's essentially the case. So 94 00:07:22,720 --> 00:07:24,920 Speaker 1: it is notable that the president went to war with 95 00:07:24,920 --> 00:07:29,280 Speaker 1: iron with less evidence. Then President Bush went to war 96 00:07:29,320 --> 00:07:32,640 Speaker 1: with a rock, and of course that evidence didn't turn up. 97 00:07:38,040 --> 00:07:40,040 Speaker 1: As for the political fault out on this, I told 98 00:07:40,080 --> 00:07:42,680 Speaker 1: you one where I think it's going to be very difficult. 99 00:07:42,720 --> 00:07:45,800 Speaker 1: We now have a lot of obligations, and that's going 100 00:07:45,840 --> 00:07:47,960 Speaker 1: to be interesting. That's where I think the president is 101 00:07:47,960 --> 00:07:50,880 Speaker 1: going to have problems with his party. His party will 102 00:07:50,960 --> 00:07:55,920 Speaker 1: rally around him. Getting rid of Kamani is not going 103 00:07:55,920 --> 00:07:58,680 Speaker 1: to be unpopular in the Republican Party. It's not going 104 00:07:58,720 --> 00:08:01,720 Speaker 1: to be unpopular in this country. What's going to be 105 00:08:01,800 --> 00:08:07,760 Speaker 1: unpopular in this country is diverting American money to Iran 106 00:08:07,840 --> 00:08:12,080 Speaker 1: to rebuild Iran. And that's where he's the president will 107 00:08:12,080 --> 00:08:14,640 Speaker 1: find his limits at some point. Now, maybe he doesn't care, 108 00:08:15,480 --> 00:08:18,800 Speaker 1: maybe he will walk away, Maybe he has this. Maybe 109 00:08:18,800 --> 00:08:21,520 Speaker 1: he hopes the Gulf States, who by the way, are 110 00:08:21,560 --> 00:08:25,040 Speaker 1: remarkably united around the United States and Israel on this one, 111 00:08:26,520 --> 00:08:30,960 Speaker 1: will help rebuild Iran, and that would obviously be better, 112 00:08:31,120 --> 00:08:33,240 Speaker 1: just like it's better if the help folks in the 113 00:08:33,280 --> 00:08:43,600 Speaker 1: region help rebuild Gosm. But one of one of my 114 00:08:43,640 --> 00:08:52,600 Speaker 1: favorite phrases is the law of unintended consequences, and it's 115 00:08:53,200 --> 00:08:57,360 Speaker 1: the long tail of this decision. It's hard to sit 116 00:08:57,440 --> 00:08:59,560 Speaker 1: here and say, I can you know, I know exactly 117 00:08:59,640 --> 00:09:04,880 Speaker 1: what it's going to be. But we know history has 118 00:09:05,160 --> 00:09:08,679 Speaker 1: told us every time the United States has tried to 119 00:09:08,880 --> 00:09:19,959 Speaker 1: orchestrate an outcome in Iran. It's not going well. The 120 00:09:20,240 --> 00:09:27,800 Speaker 1: original Islamic Revolution in some ways was stoked by our 121 00:09:29,720 --> 00:09:34,920 Speaker 1: support for the previous regime. So this has to be 122 00:09:36,200 --> 00:09:39,800 Speaker 1: of the Iranian people, and the next set of leaders 123 00:09:39,920 --> 00:09:43,559 Speaker 1: have to be small d democrats. We cannot be sitting 124 00:09:43,559 --> 00:09:46,000 Speaker 1: here in picking kings and picking presidents. What he's doing 125 00:09:46,040 --> 00:09:50,599 Speaker 1: in Venezuela, I think is very dangerous. It's an illegitimate 126 00:09:50,640 --> 00:09:54,079 Speaker 1: person in charge and he's sort of treating them like 127 00:09:54,120 --> 00:09:56,840 Speaker 1: a coppo in the mob. Well, I'm just promoting you 128 00:09:56,920 --> 00:10:01,360 Speaker 1: from within. You're helping mind my oil business over here 129 00:10:01,400 --> 00:10:07,760 Speaker 1: in Venezuela. The people have to make this decision. It 130 00:10:07,840 --> 00:10:20,280 Speaker 1: can't be an overlord in Washington, DC. This Iranian regime 131 00:10:20,520 --> 00:10:24,160 Speaker 1: is one of the worst ever. They have been a 132 00:10:24,280 --> 00:10:30,480 Speaker 1: funder of terrorism, They have manufactured all sorts of propaganda 133 00:10:30,480 --> 00:10:35,640 Speaker 1: and in the region, they have been the evildoers behind a 134 00:10:35,679 --> 00:10:49,319 Speaker 1: lot of violence in the region. They deserve no sympathy. 135 00:10:49,440 --> 00:10:51,559 Speaker 1: The President of the United States owes the American people 136 00:10:51,559 --> 00:10:55,120 Speaker 1: though an explanation of why now, why this is important, 137 00:10:59,200 --> 00:11:03,040 Speaker 1: and why he believed this isn't going to lead to 138 00:11:06,040 --> 00:11:08,760 Speaker 1: you know? Is this you know? And why are we 139 00:11:08,800 --> 00:11:16,840 Speaker 1: picking the way we're picking and choosing these things. Ukraine's 140 00:11:16,880 --> 00:11:20,520 Speaker 1: sovereignty and freedom is not the priority that Iran's is 141 00:11:20,559 --> 00:11:25,240 Speaker 1: for him, apparently that Venezuela's is. Apparently that potentially Cubas is. 142 00:11:26,520 --> 00:11:30,840 Speaker 1: Now you might say there's a big difference. He's not 143 00:11:30,840 --> 00:11:33,640 Speaker 1: going to mess with Russia in China, so Taiwan and 144 00:11:33,720 --> 00:11:37,400 Speaker 1: Ukraine good luck. He is willing to mess with other 145 00:11:37,440 --> 00:11:42,120 Speaker 1: countries because we're bigger than them. This goes back to 146 00:11:42,160 --> 00:11:45,079 Speaker 1: what you've seen from people like Stephen Miller and others 147 00:11:45,080 --> 00:11:51,200 Speaker 1: on him, who say that basically it's the law, it's 148 00:11:51,200 --> 00:11:57,160 Speaker 1: the rules of the jungle that now apply. But this 149 00:11:57,200 --> 00:11:59,800 Speaker 1: isn't how you get to restore a rules based order, 150 00:12:03,360 --> 00:12:07,720 Speaker 1: and so the long tail of this is what should 151 00:12:07,760 --> 00:12:13,040 Speaker 1: concern all of us. This was not done. There's I 152 00:12:13,040 --> 00:12:15,920 Speaker 1: think a lot of questions about how legal this action is. 153 00:12:20,440 --> 00:12:27,240 Speaker 1: As much as the President certainly deserves criticism for ignoring 154 00:12:27,480 --> 00:12:32,520 Speaker 1: the constitutional protocol here and ignoring Congress, it's on Congress 155 00:12:32,720 --> 00:12:35,760 Speaker 1: that has given up all these powers. Over decades. They've 156 00:12:35,840 --> 00:12:46,360 Speaker 1: let presidents abuse this aspect of the power, the role 157 00:12:46,400 --> 00:12:52,920 Speaker 1: of commander in chief, and they have abdicated every single 158 00:12:53,240 --> 00:12:57,120 Speaker 1: Speaker of the House going back fifty years, has abdicated 159 00:12:57,160 --> 00:13:03,360 Speaker 1: their leadership on this issue. So, yes, he didn't go 160 00:13:03,360 --> 00:13:07,040 Speaker 1: to Congress, but Congress has done nothing to force him 161 00:13:07,080 --> 00:13:11,240 Speaker 1: and make him accountable for this. We're going to hear 162 00:13:11,440 --> 00:13:19,000 Speaker 1: a lot of folks upset that he didn't go to Congress. Well, 163 00:13:19,200 --> 00:13:21,760 Speaker 1: there's been a lot of words used over the years 164 00:13:21,800 --> 00:13:26,400 Speaker 1: when various presidents have essentially gone around Congress because they 165 00:13:26,440 --> 00:13:30,040 Speaker 1: wanted to execute a certain military operation, whether it's Barack 166 00:13:30,080 --> 00:13:33,960 Speaker 1: Obama and Libya, whether it's Donald Trump with what he's 167 00:13:33,960 --> 00:13:42,880 Speaker 1: done here. You can go on and on. But someday 168 00:13:43,000 --> 00:13:45,640 Speaker 1: Congress is going to members of Congress are going to 169 00:13:45,679 --> 00:13:49,520 Speaker 1: read the Constitution and fail find out that their article won. 170 00:13:51,880 --> 00:13:56,040 Speaker 1: But apparently that day is not now. So look it 171 00:13:56,120 --> 00:13:59,240 Speaker 1: is the next The next twenty four to forty eight 172 00:13:59,280 --> 00:14:03,840 Speaker 1: hours may might be the easy part. The hard part 173 00:14:03,880 --> 00:14:07,520 Speaker 1: is the next six months, the next six years, and 174 00:14:07,600 --> 00:14:12,320 Speaker 1: perhaps the next decade. We have to be very involved. 175 00:14:12,360 --> 00:14:17,480 Speaker 1: If we want the outcome that President Trump wants here, 176 00:14:19,080 --> 00:14:21,480 Speaker 1: just dropping some bombs and walking away is not going 177 00:14:21,520 --> 00:14:24,800 Speaker 1: to guarantee that outcome. We have to be extraordinarily involved. 178 00:14:25,680 --> 00:14:28,240 Speaker 1: But the more we get dragged into it, the more 179 00:14:28,280 --> 00:14:32,040 Speaker 1: that's going to put domestic pressure. Now I know the 180 00:14:32,080 --> 00:14:35,040 Speaker 1: President's instincts here. He is going to just say, ah, 181 00:14:35,080 --> 00:14:39,720 Speaker 1: so what walk away if it becomes too hard, walk away. 182 00:14:40,520 --> 00:14:43,160 Speaker 1: But the long term message that sends to everyone around 183 00:14:43,200 --> 00:14:46,880 Speaker 1: the world about America is willing to come in with 184 00:14:46,880 --> 00:14:51,840 Speaker 1: a baseball batant sledgehammer, but we're not willing to come up, 185 00:14:52,440 --> 00:14:56,040 Speaker 1: come in to rebuild. So we have to be involved 186 00:14:56,040 --> 00:15:00,200 Speaker 1: in this now. It is a moral obligation, is an 187 00:15:00,240 --> 00:15:03,920 Speaker 1: ethical obligation, and it is a security obligation. If we 188 00:15:04,040 --> 00:15:09,080 Speaker 1: don't help rebuild what we have destroyed, people will be 189 00:15:09,160 --> 00:15:15,640 Speaker 1: coming for us. And it's asymmetrical. So the President owes 190 00:15:15,680 --> 00:15:24,560 Speaker 1: the American people that kind of direct conversation because we 191 00:15:24,640 --> 00:15:30,440 Speaker 1: are this isn't going this isn't this isn't going to 192 00:15:30,480 --> 00:15:37,600 Speaker 1: be free. Now, the consequences if he had not done it, 193 00:15:38,880 --> 00:15:45,960 Speaker 1: if he had negotiated some sort of uncomfortable agreement, it 194 00:15:46,040 --> 00:15:52,880 Speaker 1: might not have stuck. But as you see, whether the president, 195 00:15:53,320 --> 00:15:58,600 Speaker 1: whether anybody believes his word anymore, and I'm sure plenty 196 00:15:58,840 --> 00:16:01,160 Speaker 1: plenty of folks have stopped taking him at his word 197 00:16:01,200 --> 00:16:03,240 Speaker 1: for a long time, you cannot take him at his word. 198 00:16:04,200 --> 00:16:06,720 Speaker 1: I mean, I've put it on my own x feet 199 00:16:06,720 --> 00:16:08,640 Speaker 1: if you want to take a look. But the number 200 00:16:08,680 --> 00:16:11,560 Speaker 1: of people who have been quoted as saying what the 201 00:16:11,600 --> 00:16:14,760 Speaker 1: president or ordered last night, what we're in the middle 202 00:16:14,760 --> 00:16:17,480 Speaker 1: of doing right now in Iran is exactly what he 203 00:16:17,480 --> 00:16:21,240 Speaker 1: said he would never do. It's what Pete Haig says 204 00:16:21,280 --> 00:16:25,600 Speaker 1: said the Pentagon wouldn't be doing. It's what Tulsa Gabbert 205 00:16:25,840 --> 00:16:28,680 Speaker 1: was the rationale why she supposedly decided to leave the 206 00:16:28,720 --> 00:16:33,280 Speaker 1: Democratic Party to join Team Trump. And here's somebody to watch. 207 00:16:34,640 --> 00:16:38,600 Speaker 1: What kind of is Tulsa Gabbert a serious person? If 208 00:16:38,640 --> 00:16:43,880 Speaker 1: she's a serious person with any principles left, I assume 209 00:16:44,040 --> 00:16:53,160 Speaker 1: she will resign before the weekend. We'll see if that happens. 210 00:16:56,760 --> 00:17:01,720 Speaker 1: But this is a monumental moment. We have chosen to 211 00:17:01,760 --> 00:17:07,440 Speaker 1: be the world's policeman. You've heard me advocate talk about 212 00:17:07,440 --> 00:17:10,080 Speaker 1: that before. If we choose not to be the world's 213 00:17:10,080 --> 00:17:14,000 Speaker 1: cop we're not going to like to if others do it. 214 00:17:13,600 --> 00:17:17,320 Speaker 1: But the success or failure of this mission is not 215 00:17:17,400 --> 00:17:20,119 Speaker 1: going to be decided today, tomorrow, or the next week. 216 00:17:20,960 --> 00:17:28,400 Speaker 1: The success or failure of this mission is how Iran 217 00:17:28,640 --> 00:17:39,880 Speaker 1: is rebuilt and whether or not our credibility remains if 218 00:17:39,880 --> 00:17:45,479 Speaker 1: we don't participate, if we don't lead this charge. This 219 00:17:47,640 --> 00:17:50,879 Speaker 1: so we've got this is the political question I have 220 00:17:50,960 --> 00:17:56,600 Speaker 1: in my head. What kind of tolerance is the American 221 00:17:56,600 --> 00:18:04,000 Speaker 1: people going to have for America now running Venezuela, likely 222 00:18:04,080 --> 00:18:10,680 Speaker 1: soon to be running Cuba, rebuilding Gaza, and now rebuilding 223 00:18:10,680 --> 00:18:17,120 Speaker 1: Iran in a year and frankly, in an era where 224 00:18:17,160 --> 00:18:21,040 Speaker 1: the country supposedly was tired of worrying about everybody else 225 00:18:21,920 --> 00:18:26,439 Speaker 1: and not looking inward. So I guess one thing you 226 00:18:26,520 --> 00:18:29,240 Speaker 1: can say for sure is is if you believe there 227 00:18:29,280 --> 00:18:31,640 Speaker 1: really was an America First movement that was being led 228 00:18:31,640 --> 00:18:35,680 Speaker 1: by Donald Trump, that movement has come to an abrupt 229 00:18:36,720 --> 00:18:42,199 Speaker 1: and clear end this weekend. All right, I'll have more 230 00:18:42,240 --> 00:18:47,840 Speaker 1: to say on Monday. Enjoy your weekend, and let's hope 231 00:18:47,840 --> 00:18:51,720 Speaker 1: for the safety of everybody of all of our troops 232 00:18:51,960 --> 00:18:53,880 Speaker 1: that have been asked to be involved in this operation.
