1 00:00:19,320 --> 00:00:21,120 Speaker 1: Can leave. Everyone, Welcome to Stinchfield. 2 00:00:21,160 --> 00:00:22,920 Speaker 2: I want to give you an update tonight on the 3 00:00:22,960 --> 00:00:25,400 Speaker 2: war in Iran, and the update is very good. Now 4 00:00:25,440 --> 00:00:28,479 Speaker 2: I want all of my friends out there and rest easy. 5 00:00:29,040 --> 00:00:31,680 Speaker 2: Over this war in Iran. I believe it's going better 6 00:00:31,680 --> 00:00:35,959 Speaker 2: than expected. Now here's what I do understand. I understand 7 00:00:36,080 --> 00:00:40,479 Speaker 2: that there is a divide between say the over fifty crowd, 8 00:00:40,680 --> 00:00:43,000 Speaker 2: people like me that are all for this war, that 9 00:00:43,200 --> 00:00:47,560 Speaker 2: love the idea of the military exercising its military right. 10 00:00:48,280 --> 00:00:53,080 Speaker 2: It goes back to kind of Reaganesque days. But under 11 00:00:53,159 --> 00:00:57,040 Speaker 2: fifty and under forty, I understand there's young people that 12 00:00:57,600 --> 00:01:01,120 Speaker 2: don't like the idea of us going into itron. What 13 00:01:01,240 --> 00:01:03,560 Speaker 2: I'm here to tell all of you, if you fall 14 00:01:03,560 --> 00:01:07,120 Speaker 2: into that category is just pause yourself for a moment, 15 00:01:07,760 --> 00:01:10,560 Speaker 2: give it a little rest, and you will see that 16 00:01:10,640 --> 00:01:13,800 Speaker 2: everything is going to work out just fine. That I 17 00:01:13,880 --> 00:01:16,480 Speaker 2: promise you. This is President Trump today. 18 00:01:17,400 --> 00:01:22,160 Speaker 3: Right now. They've lost their navy, they've lost their air force, 19 00:01:22,959 --> 00:01:27,520 Speaker 3: they have no anti aircraft apparatus at all, they have 20 00:01:27,600 --> 00:01:33,520 Speaker 3: no radar, their leaders are gone, and we could do 21 00:01:33,560 --> 00:01:37,680 Speaker 3: a lot worse. Another We're leaving certain things that if 22 00:01:37,720 --> 00:01:39,480 Speaker 3: we take them out or we could take them out 23 00:01:40,200 --> 00:01:44,280 Speaker 3: by this afternoon, in fact, within an hour. They literally 24 00:01:44,319 --> 00:01:46,360 Speaker 3: would never be able to build that country back. 25 00:01:49,040 --> 00:01:52,520 Speaker 2: So that's the things that President Trump and his team 26 00:01:52,560 --> 00:01:54,800 Speaker 2: are being careful about. You don't want to destroy the 27 00:01:54,880 --> 00:01:58,440 Speaker 2: nation so bad that the good people of Iraq can't rebuild. 28 00:01:58,880 --> 00:02:02,440 Speaker 2: What you're trying to do is destroy everything the bad 29 00:02:02,520 --> 00:02:06,000 Speaker 2: people in a raw the regime is using to wage 30 00:02:06,040 --> 00:02:10,079 Speaker 2: war on America and beyond, and again it's going very well. 31 00:02:10,200 --> 00:02:10,440 Speaker 1: Now. 32 00:02:11,360 --> 00:02:14,799 Speaker 2: I have no reason to doubt President Trump's comments. One, 33 00:02:14,880 --> 00:02:17,440 Speaker 2: I have great trust in President Trump. I know the man. 34 00:02:17,480 --> 00:02:20,680 Speaker 2: He's not one to lie, unlike Joe Biden. If this 35 00:02:20,800 --> 00:02:25,040 Speaker 2: was the Biden administration, we couldn't trust anything coming out 36 00:02:25,120 --> 00:02:29,680 Speaker 2: of the White House, much less Pentagon or beyond. But 37 00:02:29,800 --> 00:02:32,680 Speaker 2: this is the Trump white House, It's the Trump Pentagon. 38 00:02:33,440 --> 00:02:36,480 Speaker 2: But for my younger friends, to rest you at ease, 39 00:02:37,240 --> 00:02:39,960 Speaker 2: I made some phone calls today and I talked to 40 00:02:40,520 --> 00:02:45,480 Speaker 2: mid level kernel levels inside the Pentagon, and they back 41 00:02:45,560 --> 00:02:48,120 Speaker 2: up everything the President is saying that the war is 42 00:02:48,160 --> 00:02:50,720 Speaker 2: going very well, that Iran is nearly devastated and it 43 00:02:50,720 --> 00:02:54,920 Speaker 2: won't be long until this is completely over. And so 44 00:02:55,560 --> 00:03:02,840 Speaker 2: again we're getting confirmation from mid level commanders inside the Pentagon. 45 00:03:02,880 --> 00:03:06,360 Speaker 1: This is President Trump again, and we've won. Let me 46 00:03:06,400 --> 00:03:07,120 Speaker 1: tell you we've won. 47 00:03:08,280 --> 00:03:10,799 Speaker 3: You know, you'd never like to say too early you won. 48 00:03:10,440 --> 00:03:12,480 Speaker 1: We won the bet in the first hour. 49 00:03:12,600 --> 00:03:13,399 Speaker 4: It was over. 50 00:03:15,440 --> 00:03:15,760 Speaker 2: All right. 51 00:03:15,800 --> 00:03:17,600 Speaker 1: So that's a big claim. 52 00:03:17,800 --> 00:03:21,640 Speaker 2: President Trump wouldn't make it, because we all remember George 53 00:03:21,680 --> 00:03:26,519 Speaker 2: Bush's mission accomplished claim. No president wants that on their hands. 54 00:03:26,560 --> 00:03:31,760 Speaker 2: But the last two nights have been the heaviest bombardment 55 00:03:32,080 --> 00:03:36,080 Speaker 2: we have offered up from the United States military in Iran. 56 00:03:36,840 --> 00:03:41,800 Speaker 2: And yet the syop of negativity that comes from the 57 00:03:41,840 --> 00:03:43,240 Speaker 2: mainstream media. 58 00:03:43,040 --> 00:03:44,280 Speaker 1: Is so out of control. 59 00:03:44,320 --> 00:03:47,680 Speaker 2: They are making claims that are not based in fact, 60 00:03:47,960 --> 00:03:51,280 Speaker 2: they are not based in reality, and quite frankly, they 61 00:03:51,320 --> 00:03:55,800 Speaker 2: are designed to scare you. And again, young people, listen 62 00:03:55,840 --> 00:03:56,120 Speaker 2: to this. 63 00:03:56,880 --> 00:04:01,000 Speaker 5: Now that we're having conversations about sin in US men 64 00:04:01,040 --> 00:04:02,760 Speaker 5: and women into a draft, I'm. 65 00:04:02,680 --> 00:04:05,680 Speaker 6: Well out there, check in on the suns in particular 66 00:04:05,760 --> 00:04:06,280 Speaker 6: in your life. 67 00:04:06,280 --> 00:04:08,120 Speaker 1: I'm hearing people worry about a draft. 68 00:04:08,680 --> 00:04:12,440 Speaker 5: Is leaving Americans with a lot of totally legitimate questions 69 00:04:12,520 --> 00:04:14,200 Speaker 5: like are we going to have a draft? 70 00:04:17,160 --> 00:04:21,960 Speaker 2: A draft? How dumb are these people? The reality is, 71 00:04:22,000 --> 00:04:25,080 Speaker 2: I don't think they're dumb. I think they're devious, and 72 00:04:25,160 --> 00:04:27,719 Speaker 2: what they're trying to do is scare their base into 73 00:04:27,760 --> 00:04:30,560 Speaker 2: thinking somehow sons and daughters will be scooped up to 74 00:04:30,560 --> 00:04:33,280 Speaker 2: go fight in I run, this is not going to happen. 75 00:04:33,800 --> 00:04:37,720 Speaker 2: So besides my discussions with Pentagon officials, I had discussions 76 00:04:37,720 --> 00:04:40,440 Speaker 2: this morning with senior officials inside the White House, and 77 00:04:40,520 --> 00:04:44,000 Speaker 2: every single one of them told me they have never 78 00:04:44,120 --> 00:04:48,520 Speaker 2: heard President Trump once mention a draft. They have not 79 00:04:48,640 --> 00:04:53,000 Speaker 2: heard anyone inside the White House mentioned the possibility of 80 00:04:53,040 --> 00:04:57,960 Speaker 2: a draft. Now, why we have a military that is 81 00:04:58,279 --> 00:05:03,119 Speaker 2: two million people strong, It is an all volunteer army, 82 00:05:03,160 --> 00:05:06,720 Speaker 2: and by the way, recruitment is through the roof since 83 00:05:06,760 --> 00:05:09,599 Speaker 2: President Trump has taken over. Why would you need to 84 00:05:09,680 --> 00:05:15,280 Speaker 2: draft anybody? And by the way, the state of warfare 85 00:05:15,400 --> 00:05:19,200 Speaker 2: has changed, and it is rapidly changing due to technology. 86 00:05:19,839 --> 00:05:23,240 Speaker 2: The future of war is not, in my belief ever 87 00:05:23,279 --> 00:05:26,760 Speaker 2: going to need a draft in the United States of America. 88 00:05:26,880 --> 00:05:30,359 Speaker 2: These people know this, especially with the expanding use of 89 00:05:30,520 --> 00:05:34,800 Speaker 2: AI and technology we could have only dreamed of. 90 00:05:35,520 --> 00:05:39,479 Speaker 1: This is an admiral with Scentcom. 91 00:05:39,560 --> 00:05:43,680 Speaker 7: Listen first, our war fighters are leveraging a variety of 92 00:05:43,760 --> 00:05:47,760 Speaker 7: advanced AI tools. These systems help US sift through vast 93 00:05:47,800 --> 00:05:50,839 Speaker 7: amounts of data in seconds, so our leaders can cut 94 00:05:50,839 --> 00:05:54,000 Speaker 7: through the noise and make smarter decisions faster than the 95 00:05:54,120 --> 00:05:58,080 Speaker 7: enemy can react. Humans will always make final decisions on 96 00:05:58,120 --> 00:06:00,560 Speaker 7: what to shoot and what not to shoot, and when 97 00:06:00,680 --> 00:06:04,120 Speaker 7: to shoot. But advanced AI tools can turn processes that 98 00:06:04,240 --> 00:06:07,160 Speaker 7: used to take hours and sometimes even days into seconds. 99 00:06:09,200 --> 00:06:13,400 Speaker 2: You know, it's pretty amazing because AI has changed not 100 00:06:13,440 --> 00:06:16,840 Speaker 2: only our lives, but it's changed the face of the battlefield. 101 00:06:17,000 --> 00:06:20,760 Speaker 2: Now over five thousand targets have been hit, many with 102 00:06:20,839 --> 00:06:24,080 Speaker 2: the use of AI. You heard him talk about the 103 00:06:24,240 --> 00:06:27,000 Speaker 2: speed of decision making process now that it's down to 104 00:06:27,120 --> 00:06:29,159 Speaker 2: seconds of what targets to hit. 105 00:06:29,920 --> 00:06:32,600 Speaker 1: This is one reason why we are winning. 106 00:06:32,680 --> 00:06:35,640 Speaker 2: I want to bring in now former JAG officer Federal 107 00:06:35,720 --> 00:06:39,120 Speaker 2: criminal Defense Attorney Ron Chapman is with us. Ron, welcome 108 00:06:39,160 --> 00:06:39,920 Speaker 2: to the program. 109 00:06:40,520 --> 00:06:42,840 Speaker 8: Thanks for having me Ron. 110 00:06:42,680 --> 00:06:44,360 Speaker 1: Since you were in the service. 111 00:06:45,240 --> 00:06:48,880 Speaker 2: How his technology changed the face of warfare today, and 112 00:06:48,960 --> 00:06:51,720 Speaker 2: I imagine that technology is being used in Iraq as 113 00:06:51,760 --> 00:06:54,200 Speaker 2: we speak, in Iran as we speak. 114 00:06:55,160 --> 00:06:58,440 Speaker 8: Yeah, I think fantastic segue here. So let's just break 115 00:06:58,440 --> 00:07:00,800 Speaker 8: it down for the audience how TAR targeting works. Back 116 00:07:00,800 --> 00:07:03,600 Speaker 8: when I was in Afghanistan. If somebody wanted to hit 117 00:07:03,600 --> 00:07:05,520 Speaker 8: a target, the first thing that they would do is 118 00:07:05,600 --> 00:07:07,359 Speaker 8: nominate it. So you got somebody out there in the 119 00:07:07,360 --> 00:07:10,480 Speaker 8: field of marine he spot something, he wants the aircraft 120 00:07:10,520 --> 00:07:13,160 Speaker 8: to take it out. That nomination process can take a 121 00:07:13,160 --> 00:07:15,680 Speaker 8: long time or it can happen very quickly. But then 122 00:07:15,720 --> 00:07:19,440 Speaker 8: the commanders, the lawyers, everybody gets together and that target 123 00:07:19,480 --> 00:07:22,720 Speaker 8: package goes up the chain of command and the general 124 00:07:22,840 --> 00:07:25,600 Speaker 8: colonel whoever happens to be the stop on the chain 125 00:07:25,640 --> 00:07:28,680 Speaker 8: of command that is at the approval level for that package, 126 00:07:29,240 --> 00:07:32,160 Speaker 8: they then authorized the strike. Now you just said earlier 127 00:07:32,320 --> 00:07:35,920 Speaker 8: five thousand targets have been hit. There is absolutely no 128 00:07:36,000 --> 00:07:38,400 Speaker 8: way that in the span of time that took you 129 00:07:38,440 --> 00:07:42,560 Speaker 8: would have five thousand nomination packages successfully put up the 130 00:07:42,640 --> 00:07:45,320 Speaker 8: chain of command if people were doing it, which is 131 00:07:45,320 --> 00:07:49,200 Speaker 8: where we get to the AI debate. Anthropic, the AI 132 00:07:49,360 --> 00:07:51,960 Speaker 8: source that was used for a lot of these targets, 133 00:07:52,880 --> 00:07:55,680 Speaker 8: has had a recent spat with the Department of War 134 00:07:55,840 --> 00:07:59,160 Speaker 8: over that nomination process and who is in the loop 135 00:07:59,200 --> 00:08:01,880 Speaker 8: and what decisions they're making, and there's been some very 136 00:08:01,880 --> 00:08:04,480 Speaker 8: troubling information that's come out as a result. 137 00:08:05,560 --> 00:08:09,680 Speaker 2: So to review for people at home, Anthropic, the AI company. 138 00:08:09,680 --> 00:08:11,280 Speaker 1: They're saying, hey, we don't. 139 00:08:11,040 --> 00:08:16,800 Speaker 2: Want our AI used in autonomous weapons systems, and the 140 00:08:16,920 --> 00:08:20,720 Speaker 2: United States says we're gonna use AI however we want 141 00:08:20,760 --> 00:08:23,560 Speaker 2: to as long as it's within the bounds of the law. Now, 142 00:08:23,640 --> 00:08:28,080 Speaker 2: a lawsuit ensues, and that's unfolding. So you just mentioned 143 00:08:28,320 --> 00:08:30,320 Speaker 2: that there are some troubling things at play that have 144 00:08:30,400 --> 00:08:30,760 Speaker 2: come out. 145 00:08:31,000 --> 00:08:33,080 Speaker 1: Can you fill us in on them? 146 00:08:33,559 --> 00:08:33,760 Speaker 5: Yeah? 147 00:08:33,840 --> 00:08:35,920 Speaker 8: Yeah, So honestly, if you look at the reporting related 148 00:08:35,920 --> 00:08:38,160 Speaker 8: to Anthropic and the Department of War, I think both 149 00:08:38,200 --> 00:08:40,640 Speaker 8: of them have been somewhat incorrect about the level of 150 00:08:40,640 --> 00:08:46,720 Speaker 8: the dispute here. First things, first, Anthropics demand was twofold. First, 151 00:08:47,080 --> 00:08:51,199 Speaker 8: we don't want mass domestic surveillance happening. And second, if 152 00:08:51,240 --> 00:08:53,640 Speaker 8: there is a target that's struck, we want to be 153 00:08:53,640 --> 00:08:56,439 Speaker 8: able to object for whatever ethical reasons we have. 154 00:08:56,559 --> 00:08:56,760 Speaker 1: Now. 155 00:08:57,000 --> 00:09:00,280 Speaker 8: Rightly, so, the Department of War says, if we use 156 00:09:00,320 --> 00:09:04,080 Speaker 8: your technology, we make the decisions, and I somewhat agree 157 00:09:04,120 --> 00:09:07,720 Speaker 8: with that. Right if we use the technology, if Anthropics 158 00:09:07,760 --> 00:09:10,760 Speaker 8: giving it to us, we don't want some Anthropic employees 159 00:09:10,840 --> 00:09:12,840 Speaker 8: saying what targets we can hit? I got to give 160 00:09:12,880 --> 00:09:15,480 Speaker 8: it to them. There, But there's this other part, the 161 00:09:15,559 --> 00:09:18,559 Speaker 8: human and the loop part. The Department of War sought 162 00:09:18,600 --> 00:09:24,680 Speaker 8: authorization to engage targets without having a specific human sign 163 00:09:24,800 --> 00:09:28,280 Speaker 8: off on those targets. That gets us to a worst 164 00:09:28,320 --> 00:09:30,800 Speaker 8: case scenario when it comes to war. You could have 165 00:09:30,880 --> 00:09:35,560 Speaker 8: a situation where one side triggers the loop of the 166 00:09:35,679 --> 00:09:40,160 Speaker 8: United States in order to get these bots to fire 167 00:09:40,960 --> 00:09:44,920 Speaker 8: on certain targets, and that causes an immediate reaction from 168 00:09:45,000 --> 00:09:47,959 Speaker 8: let's say China or some other entity, where we then 169 00:09:48,080 --> 00:09:51,440 Speaker 8: have all out global war because we both triggered our 170 00:09:51,480 --> 00:09:53,600 Speaker 8: bots and there was no human in the loop to 171 00:09:53,679 --> 00:09:56,280 Speaker 8: stop it. That's what anthropic is saying, we don't want 172 00:09:56,320 --> 00:09:59,600 Speaker 8: to happen, and that's really where the debate is. Right now. 173 00:10:00,080 --> 00:10:00,960 Speaker 8: We have to trust, right. 174 00:10:01,840 --> 00:10:04,560 Speaker 2: Warn Hold one second, Hold on one second, because I 175 00:10:04,600 --> 00:10:09,520 Speaker 2: just want to interrupt here. I actually believe that the Pentagon, 176 00:10:09,640 --> 00:10:13,000 Speaker 2: under the direction of Secretary of War Hageseth, would not 177 00:10:13,120 --> 00:10:15,720 Speaker 2: allow a bunch of robots to put us at war 178 00:10:15,960 --> 00:10:19,320 Speaker 2: with China. And this gets back to the age old argument, 179 00:10:19,920 --> 00:10:21,920 Speaker 2: which is better humans or robots. 180 00:10:22,160 --> 00:10:23,120 Speaker 1: And by and large, my. 181 00:10:23,080 --> 00:10:26,040 Speaker 2: Audience may be upset to hear this, but by and large, 182 00:10:26,120 --> 00:10:29,280 Speaker 2: robots are far better than humans at many things. Like this. 183 00:10:29,559 --> 00:10:32,520 Speaker 2: I'm going to tell you right now, an Uber driver 184 00:10:32,760 --> 00:10:36,040 Speaker 2: that's a driverless car by Waimo probably is going to 185 00:10:36,080 --> 00:10:39,839 Speaker 2: get in less accidents than the human Uber driver is. Now. 186 00:10:39,880 --> 00:10:42,240 Speaker 2: I know people don't want to hear that, but I 187 00:10:42,280 --> 00:10:47,880 Speaker 2: think Anthropic use this argument you're making to sway some 188 00:10:48,080 --> 00:10:50,280 Speaker 2: other things because it seems to me to be a 189 00:10:50,400 --> 00:10:53,640 Speaker 2: very woke company, and some of that woke ideology is 190 00:10:53,679 --> 00:10:56,719 Speaker 2: trying to be infected into the Pentagon. They use your 191 00:10:56,880 --> 00:10:59,640 Speaker 2: argument because, believe me, it is a you know, it's 192 00:10:59,640 --> 00:11:03,239 Speaker 2: a valid argument, and everyone can see this argument as AI. 193 00:11:03,120 --> 00:11:06,040 Speaker 1: Is playing out. But I think we have the balance here. 194 00:11:06,120 --> 00:11:10,280 Speaker 2: What's the real reality of that happening or Anthropic trying 195 00:11:10,320 --> 00:11:12,880 Speaker 2: to play us as they fight with the Pentagon. 196 00:11:13,880 --> 00:11:16,360 Speaker 8: You know, listen, I read through the lawsuit and I 197 00:11:16,440 --> 00:11:19,400 Speaker 8: researched very hard to figure out exactly what the truth 198 00:11:19,600 --> 00:11:22,719 Speaker 8: was there. And here's where it lies. The Pentagon has 199 00:11:22,720 --> 00:11:24,679 Speaker 8: not removed a human from the loop. And I think 200 00:11:24,679 --> 00:11:27,080 Speaker 8: you're absolutely right about Hegsath. It's not what he wants. 201 00:11:27,600 --> 00:11:30,600 Speaker 8: But here's the thing. There's an arms race going on 202 00:11:30,720 --> 00:11:33,240 Speaker 8: right now, and the entity that decides to put the 203 00:11:33,320 --> 00:11:35,719 Speaker 8: robots in the driver's seat is going to be the 204 00:11:36,679 --> 00:11:39,440 Speaker 8: army or military that has the ability to respond quickest, 205 00:11:39,800 --> 00:11:41,679 Speaker 8: which means we have an arms race where we may 206 00:11:41,679 --> 00:11:43,880 Speaker 8: be pushed to do things we don't want to. But 207 00:11:43,920 --> 00:11:45,800 Speaker 8: the question isn't whether or not there's a human in 208 00:11:45,800 --> 00:11:48,439 Speaker 8: the loop. The question is at what stage is the 209 00:11:48,520 --> 00:11:50,840 Speaker 8: human in the loop and do they have enough information 210 00:11:51,240 --> 00:11:55,000 Speaker 8: to effectively stop a bad decision from happening before it happens. 211 00:11:55,440 --> 00:11:58,400 Speaker 8: Five thousand targets need to be analyzed. There's no way 212 00:11:58,760 --> 00:12:01,600 Speaker 8: a real human as a sessing every single one of those. 213 00:12:02,120 --> 00:12:04,520 Speaker 8: They may be lumping some of these targets together. There 214 00:12:04,559 --> 00:12:07,360 Speaker 8: may be assumptions that are made based on the logic 215 00:12:07,400 --> 00:12:10,280 Speaker 8: of robots. It's like submitting a term paper without fully 216 00:12:10,360 --> 00:12:13,880 Speaker 8: checking the citations to ensure they're accurate. That's the problem 217 00:12:13,920 --> 00:12:15,720 Speaker 8: that we have with AI and warfare right now. 218 00:12:16,640 --> 00:12:20,360 Speaker 2: Look, these are legitimate concerns, and the exact conversation that 219 00:12:20,400 --> 00:12:22,800 Speaker 2: you and I are having ron is I would hope 220 00:12:23,120 --> 00:12:26,920 Speaker 2: the same conversation that they're having inside the Pentagon because 221 00:12:26,960 --> 00:12:29,000 Speaker 2: we don't want to lose control of our army to 222 00:12:29,040 --> 00:12:30,319 Speaker 2: a bunch of AI bots. 223 00:12:30,760 --> 00:12:32,360 Speaker 1: That would be the worst thing that could happen. 224 00:12:32,400 --> 00:12:34,440 Speaker 2: But we have to utilize it as much as possible 225 00:12:34,679 --> 00:12:37,920 Speaker 2: so we're not getting beat by enemies who are but boy, 226 00:12:37,960 --> 00:12:42,280 Speaker 2: we are moving into treacherous territory when it comes to 227 00:12:42,320 --> 00:12:45,880 Speaker 2: all this stuff. Yeah, fascinating and also you know, may 228 00:12:45,920 --> 00:12:49,160 Speaker 2: be helpful in the end as well. Ron Chapman, great stuff. 229 00:12:49,200 --> 00:12:50,480 Speaker 2: I appreciate you coming on tonight. 230 00:12:51,480 --> 00:12:53,040 Speaker 4: Thanks for having me appreciate it. 231 00:12:53,679 --> 00:12:58,880 Speaker 2: Absolutely interesting, interesting topic. Real quick. I do want to 232 00:12:58,920 --> 00:13:00,960 Speaker 2: say that we're three ships in the Straits of horr 233 00:13:00,960 --> 00:13:05,360 Speaker 2: Moves that were hit with either drones or missiles. That 234 00:13:05,559 --> 00:13:07,880 Speaker 2: is a problem that's going to make people very uneasy 235 00:13:07,920 --> 00:13:12,520 Speaker 2: about moving international supply through the Straits of Horror Moves. 236 00:13:12,880 --> 00:13:15,160 Speaker 2: President Trump says we're getting ready to have the United 237 00:13:15,200 --> 00:13:16,560 Speaker 2: States Navy step in. 238 00:13:17,559 --> 00:13:17,959 Speaker 1: Uh. 239 00:13:18,200 --> 00:13:23,640 Speaker 2: Jack Keene, analyst former general for Fox, says, we're not 240 00:13:23,760 --> 00:13:25,000 Speaker 2: quite there yet. 241 00:13:25,880 --> 00:13:29,040 Speaker 9: The Commander of Central Command has got has it as 242 00:13:29,080 --> 00:13:33,640 Speaker 9: a task, and he's deliberately working to eliminate the potential 243 00:13:33,640 --> 00:13:37,760 Speaker 9: of those offensive weapons interfering with escort operations in the 244 00:13:37,800 --> 00:13:40,760 Speaker 9: straits of a Move. We're likely not going to begin 245 00:13:40,920 --> 00:13:46,040 Speaker 9: that task of escorting tankers through until that threat is removed. 246 00:13:46,640 --> 00:13:49,679 Speaker 9: But I think about the same time, the WOL will 247 00:13:49,720 --> 00:13:51,360 Speaker 9: be ending in any event. 248 00:13:53,320 --> 00:13:55,840 Speaker 2: So it sounds to me like we'll get to that 249 00:13:56,000 --> 00:13:59,800 Speaker 2: point very quickly. President Trump says they've taken out something 250 00:13:59,880 --> 00:14:02,920 Speaker 2: like twenty somethingter mine laying boats. 251 00:14:03,320 --> 00:14:04,360 Speaker 1: That is huge. 252 00:14:04,400 --> 00:14:08,000 Speaker 2: And as the days go on, Iran's ability to take 253 00:14:08,080 --> 00:14:11,200 Speaker 2: out some of these ships in these shipping lanes commercial 254 00:14:11,240 --> 00:14:13,839 Speaker 2: freighters is going to be limited. That's when the Navy 255 00:14:13,840 --> 00:14:16,600 Speaker 2: steps in and we will get back to normal. Now, 256 00:14:17,200 --> 00:14:19,760 Speaker 2: the threat from Iran is very real. I call it 257 00:14:19,800 --> 00:14:23,040 Speaker 2: from sleeper cells. We just saw another attack on a 258 00:14:23,160 --> 00:14:25,160 Speaker 2: US embassy in Norway. 259 00:14:25,280 --> 00:14:26,000 Speaker 1: In Oslo. 260 00:14:26,720 --> 00:14:30,440 Speaker 2: Three brothers had been arrested for setting off a bomb 261 00:14:30,520 --> 00:14:35,480 Speaker 2: outside the embassy. Thankfully nobody was injured there. Now, this 262 00:14:35,640 --> 00:14:40,320 Speaker 2: comes after the improvised explosive device attack in New York 263 00:14:40,360 --> 00:14:46,680 Speaker 2: City where two men through these ied makeshift bombs at 264 00:14:46,880 --> 00:14:52,680 Speaker 2: anti Muslim protesters. But again, the media doesn't want you 265 00:14:52,800 --> 00:14:57,000 Speaker 2: to believe that they would go after anti Muslim protesters. 266 00:14:57,480 --> 00:15:01,440 Speaker 2: They somehow want you to believe that Mayor was targeted 267 00:15:01,520 --> 00:15:04,040 Speaker 2: when he was not. Not only was he not even 268 00:15:04,160 --> 00:15:08,800 Speaker 2: in Gracie Mansion, but he wasn't anywhere near Gracie Mansion. 269 00:15:09,600 --> 00:15:13,080 Speaker 1: This is Abby Phillips on CNN. 270 00:15:14,960 --> 00:15:18,720 Speaker 6: Two Republicans say Muslims don't belong here after an attempted 271 00:15:18,800 --> 00:15:22,760 Speaker 6: terror attack against New York's Mayor zor On Mamdanni, and 272 00:15:22,760 --> 00:15:26,520 Speaker 6: the House Speaker Mike Johnson says nothing really to condemn 273 00:15:26,560 --> 00:15:28,560 Speaker 6: those comments. 274 00:15:30,160 --> 00:15:34,160 Speaker 2: After an attack against Mom Donnie wasn't at all. That's 275 00:15:34,160 --> 00:15:35,800 Speaker 2: a flat out fabrication. 276 00:15:36,080 --> 00:15:36,320 Speaker 9: Lie. 277 00:15:36,440 --> 00:15:39,600 Speaker 2: She claims that she's sorry and it was a mistake, 278 00:15:40,160 --> 00:15:42,160 Speaker 2: But I don't believe it was a mistake. I don't 279 00:15:42,200 --> 00:15:46,400 Speaker 2: believe it was by accident because on the same network 280 00:15:46,400 --> 00:15:50,240 Speaker 2: you had Anna Navarro speeling the same kind of falsities. 281 00:15:50,960 --> 00:15:54,000 Speaker 7: Some of these comments are as a result of the 282 00:15:54,360 --> 00:15:58,880 Speaker 7: attempt against I guess Mayor Mandanni in New York. 283 00:15:58,840 --> 00:16:00,720 Speaker 4: Who was raised Muslim? 284 00:16:00,880 --> 00:16:08,960 Speaker 10: Was he not himself? So they're being anti Muslim. 285 00:16:06,640 --> 00:16:08,119 Speaker 1: Attack against Mayor Mandanni. 286 00:16:08,560 --> 00:16:12,920 Speaker 2: They threw the bombs at the anti Muslim protesters across 287 00:16:12,960 --> 00:16:13,400 Speaker 2: the street. 288 00:16:14,720 --> 00:16:20,200 Speaker 1: Come on, now, think about this and that attack. Brave 289 00:16:20,440 --> 00:16:22,800 Speaker 1: New York City police officers. 290 00:16:22,840 --> 00:16:26,200 Speaker 2: Chase down the attackers, tackle them to the ground, get 291 00:16:26,240 --> 00:16:29,480 Speaker 2: them into custody. And maybe even more brave are the 292 00:16:29,480 --> 00:16:33,920 Speaker 2: police officers that run towards these makeshift bombs and gets 293 00:16:33,960 --> 00:16:36,120 Speaker 2: everybody away from them when they don't know. 294 00:16:36,160 --> 00:16:37,720 Speaker 1: They could explode in any moment. 295 00:16:38,600 --> 00:16:44,520 Speaker 2: And instead of Mom Danni inviting them for a heroic ceremony, 296 00:16:45,320 --> 00:16:51,080 Speaker 2: he invites look at this picture, but Mood Khalil, you 297 00:16:51,160 --> 00:16:54,800 Speaker 2: may remember this clown. This is the guy who's a 298 00:16:54,880 --> 00:16:59,600 Speaker 2: pro palaced in pro Hamas, pro terrorist activist here in 299 00:16:59,600 --> 00:17:02,080 Speaker 2: the Nia States. It's spout in his mouth off about 300 00:17:02,120 --> 00:17:04,720 Speaker 2: how much he hates the Jews and how much he 301 00:17:04,800 --> 00:17:06,400 Speaker 2: loves everything that Hamas. 302 00:17:06,080 --> 00:17:07,600 Speaker 1: Is doing killing them. 303 00:17:08,160 --> 00:17:11,800 Speaker 2: He gets invited to dinner at Gracie Mansion after this attack, 304 00:17:12,240 --> 00:17:15,920 Speaker 2: not the cops that was not left on James Gagliano, 305 00:17:15,960 --> 00:17:17,119 Speaker 2: former FBI agent. 306 00:17:20,160 --> 00:17:23,320 Speaker 11: Yeah, and the other night, instead of hosting the two 307 00:17:23,440 --> 00:17:27,520 Speaker 11: star police chief who leaped over the barricades and ran 308 00:17:27,640 --> 00:17:31,160 Speaker 11: this guy down who had thrown the bomb, the mayor 309 00:17:31,200 --> 00:17:34,800 Speaker 11: decides that Gracie Mansion to host Mood Khalil. I mean, 310 00:17:34,840 --> 00:17:38,720 Speaker 11: he's senting such an awful, awful message here to the 311 00:17:38,840 --> 00:17:39,560 Speaker 11: rank and file. 312 00:17:41,800 --> 00:17:44,560 Speaker 2: Reality is Joe Biden put us in this position with 313 00:17:44,600 --> 00:17:48,320 Speaker 2: his open border policies. We have no idea how many 314 00:17:48,440 --> 00:17:53,040 Speaker 2: of these people may actually be in this country. James Langford, 315 00:17:53,320 --> 00:17:54,760 Speaker 2: the Senator from Oklahoma. 316 00:17:55,720 --> 00:17:59,480 Speaker 12: The Trump administration has arrested and deported almost fifty thousand 317 00:17:59,640 --> 00:18:02,879 Speaker 12: of those seventy thousand, But we saw twenty thousand people 318 00:18:02,920 --> 00:18:05,480 Speaker 12: that even the Biden administration when they crossed the border 319 00:18:05,520 --> 00:18:07,719 Speaker 12: said they may be cherished, they may not be. They 320 00:18:07,760 --> 00:18:09,200 Speaker 12: come from one of those areas, but we just have 321 00:18:09,320 --> 00:18:11,119 Speaker 12: no information. But they just let them in. 322 00:18:11,160 --> 00:18:17,640 Speaker 2: Anyway. It takes one to kill dozens, if not hundreds, 323 00:18:17,680 --> 00:18:21,880 Speaker 2: of Americans one, and there's tens of thousands of them here. 324 00:18:22,560 --> 00:18:24,600 Speaker 2: I want to bring in now to discuss this. Founder 325 00:18:24,640 --> 00:18:28,280 Speaker 2: and president of the Constitutional Sheriffs and Peace Officers Association, 326 00:18:28,440 --> 00:18:31,000 Speaker 2: Sheriff Richard Mack, is back with us. Sheriff, great to 327 00:18:31,040 --> 00:18:32,280 Speaker 2: have you back on the program. 328 00:18:33,440 --> 00:18:35,480 Speaker 13: Thank Grant. It's great to be on the Stingefield Show. 329 00:18:35,520 --> 00:18:39,040 Speaker 1: Appreciate being back with you. Well, it's good to see you, Sheriff. 330 00:18:39,320 --> 00:18:40,560 Speaker 1: Let me start from the beginning. 331 00:18:40,600 --> 00:18:43,719 Speaker 2: First off, your response that Mayor Mom Donnie in New 332 00:18:43,840 --> 00:18:47,280 Speaker 2: York doesn't celebrate the heroic police officers in that attack, 333 00:18:47,400 --> 00:18:51,680 Speaker 2: but instead he invites in a terrorist sympathizer at best. 334 00:18:53,400 --> 00:18:56,560 Speaker 13: Well, I guess that's what New York gets for electing 335 00:18:56,600 --> 00:19:02,040 Speaker 13: a communist completely contrary to our constitution and our American 336 00:19:02,720 --> 00:19:07,520 Speaker 13: constitutional Republic. I think that Mondani has shown in just 337 00:19:07,560 --> 00:19:10,800 Speaker 13: the first few weeks of being in office that everything 338 00:19:10,880 --> 00:19:14,399 Speaker 13: we feared about him is going to happen, and is 339 00:19:14,440 --> 00:19:22,040 Speaker 13: happening under his leadership or lack thereof. And he's pretty scary. 340 00:19:22,880 --> 00:19:24,960 Speaker 13: And I love New York and I would love to 341 00:19:25,000 --> 00:19:27,520 Speaker 13: go back to New York, but he's making me worry 342 00:19:27,560 --> 00:19:30,560 Speaker 13: about going back, and I don't know if I would 343 00:19:30,760 --> 00:19:35,920 Speaker 13: dare take my grandkids back to Broadway while he's there 344 00:19:36,400 --> 00:19:39,720 Speaker 13: pissing off all the police and having no idea what 345 00:19:39,960 --> 00:19:42,359 Speaker 13: he's supposed to be doing as mayor sheriff. 346 00:19:43,000 --> 00:19:46,280 Speaker 2: I think an even bigger question is not whether you 347 00:19:46,320 --> 00:19:47,640 Speaker 2: would go back to New York City. 348 00:19:47,640 --> 00:19:48,240 Speaker 1: And I'm with you. 349 00:19:48,280 --> 00:19:50,240 Speaker 2: I think it's a disaster, and I grew up in 350 00:19:50,280 --> 00:19:52,800 Speaker 2: and around New York City. But the question is would 351 00:19:52,800 --> 00:19:55,000 Speaker 2: you recommend a police officer go serve for the New 352 00:19:55,040 --> 00:19:57,840 Speaker 2: York City Police Department. I think there are more danger 353 00:19:57,880 --> 00:20:01,160 Speaker 2: from an Alvin Bragg than they are from some gang 354 00:20:01,200 --> 00:20:02,480 Speaker 2: banger in the South Bronx. 355 00:20:03,720 --> 00:20:06,879 Speaker 13: We're absolutely correct. I mean it gets worse as you 356 00:20:07,000 --> 00:20:12,240 Speaker 13: go from the mayor to the county attorney, and that 357 00:20:12,359 --> 00:20:15,119 Speaker 13: makes it all the scarier. The men and women are 358 00:20:15,200 --> 00:20:19,560 Speaker 13: New York PD do not have confidence in the county attorney, 359 00:20:19,960 --> 00:20:23,280 Speaker 13: and they don't have it in the mayor. And hundreds 360 00:20:23,320 --> 00:20:25,159 Speaker 13: of them, if not thousands, have left to go to 361 00:20:25,200 --> 00:20:29,199 Speaker 13: Florida and other places where states and governors and mayors 362 00:20:29,840 --> 00:20:33,399 Speaker 13: and the people respect and love the police and have 363 00:20:33,520 --> 00:20:34,520 Speaker 13: their backs. 364 00:20:35,240 --> 00:20:38,200 Speaker 2: Sure, real quick, I want to talk about the possibility 365 00:20:38,200 --> 00:20:40,439 Speaker 2: of sleeper cells, because I know this is a topic 366 00:20:40,480 --> 00:20:44,639 Speaker 2: that you've been sounding the alarm on. Haakeem Jeffries, the 367 00:20:45,359 --> 00:20:48,520 Speaker 2: minority leader in the House of Representatives, says, this is 368 00:20:48,560 --> 00:20:49,200 Speaker 2: no big deal. 369 00:20:49,240 --> 00:20:50,199 Speaker 1: I want you to listen to this. 370 00:20:50,280 --> 00:20:53,840 Speaker 2: With the DHS shutdown, keeping Americans safe roll cut seventeen, 371 00:20:54,480 --> 00:20:58,520 Speaker 2: So the President saying that Americans are being endangered because 372 00:20:58,560 --> 00:21:02,439 Speaker 2: the Department of Homeland Security cannot go after Iranian sleeper cells. 373 00:21:02,680 --> 00:21:03,680 Speaker 2: What's your response to. 374 00:21:03,640 --> 00:21:07,440 Speaker 5: That, Well, the president's lying to the American people. 375 00:21:07,480 --> 00:21:09,600 Speaker 1: He's fear mongering, and he knows that. 376 00:21:12,040 --> 00:21:14,240 Speaker 2: Is the president fear mongering. Sheriff mac. 377 00:21:17,040 --> 00:21:21,040 Speaker 13: It would take anybody with half a brain would know 378 00:21:22,119 --> 00:21:24,880 Speaker 13: if you open the borders, who's going to come in? 379 00:21:25,880 --> 00:21:29,520 Speaker 13: Who's going to come in? And indeed, the cartels have 380 00:21:31,680 --> 00:21:36,080 Speaker 13: collaborated with and joined with the cartels in making sure 381 00:21:36,119 --> 00:21:38,720 Speaker 13: that they could come into Mexico and then come into 382 00:21:38,800 --> 00:21:42,560 Speaker 13: the United States. We know they've come here. The training 383 00:21:42,640 --> 00:21:44,760 Speaker 13: all over the world that our sheriffs and police are 384 00:21:44,760 --> 00:21:49,160 Speaker 13: attending shows that they are here. Tens of thousands may 385 00:21:49,480 --> 00:21:54,160 Speaker 13: I would the training I've seen. There's over one hundred 386 00:21:54,280 --> 00:21:59,399 Speaker 13: thousand terrorists in our country from the Middle East that 387 00:21:59,440 --> 00:22:03,040 Speaker 13: have infil traded our country. The threat, the biggest threat, 388 00:22:03,720 --> 00:22:06,400 Speaker 13: is not that they're going to start shooting us, but 389 00:22:06,440 --> 00:22:10,000 Speaker 13: that they're going to attack our grid, our water supply, 390 00:22:10,359 --> 00:22:15,680 Speaker 13: our internet, and our communications. And that is coming. And 391 00:22:15,800 --> 00:22:18,840 Speaker 13: we need all of the people in this country to 392 00:22:19,000 --> 00:22:22,439 Speaker 13: contact their sheriff's offices and make sure they up the 393 00:22:22,480 --> 00:22:28,240 Speaker 13: patrols and security for power plants every place, every county, 394 00:22:28,320 --> 00:22:29,119 Speaker 13: every place. 395 00:22:28,840 --> 00:22:29,239 Speaker 2: That we have. 396 00:22:29,320 --> 00:22:35,520 Speaker 13: They need protection and double or triple the patrols by 397 00:22:35,680 --> 00:22:37,520 Speaker 13: our power plants nationwide. 398 00:22:38,280 --> 00:22:39,480 Speaker 1: They sure do, Sheriff. 399 00:22:39,480 --> 00:22:41,280 Speaker 2: We've been selling the alarm on the power grid for 400 00:22:41,320 --> 00:22:43,760 Speaker 2: a long time about how vulnerable it is, not just 401 00:22:43,840 --> 00:22:47,240 Speaker 2: from a traditional attack like that, but also from cyber attacks. 402 00:22:47,400 --> 00:22:50,480 Speaker 2: We've got Chinese equipment and many of these power plant facilities. 403 00:22:50,640 --> 00:22:53,639 Speaker 2: It's a disaster.

But before 409 00:23:11,800 --> 00:23:16,280 Speaker 2: we do that, America is focused on strengthening domestic energy 410 00:23:16,320 --> 00:23:21,040 Speaker 2: production and securing reliable resources for the future. One company 411 00:23:21,080 --> 00:23:24,520 Speaker 2: working in that direction is Lost Soldier Oil and Gas. 412 00:23:24,880 --> 00:23:28,560 Speaker 2: After decades of geological research and land assembly, Lost Soldier 413 00:23:28,920 --> 00:23:33,159 Speaker 2: has developed a large natural gas project spanning approximately forty 414 00:23:33,200 --> 00:23:38,440 Speaker 2: thousand acres in Wyoming's Rocky Mountain region.

You know, it is 431 00:24:54,880 --> 00:24:57,520 Speaker 2: very disturbing to me that across this globe we have 432 00:24:57,760 --> 00:25:03,480 Speaker 2: many Americans being held hostile by ill actors, and I 433 00:25:03,520 --> 00:25:08,359 Speaker 2: mean countries that really are our enemies. Marco Rubio talked 434 00:25:08,359 --> 00:25:09,960 Speaker 2: about this this week. 435 00:25:10,080 --> 00:25:12,159 Speaker 14: So let me just say today we honor those who 436 00:25:12,200 --> 00:25:15,199 Speaker 14: are still waiting. It celebrates those who returned, and it 437 00:25:15,280 --> 00:25:18,760 Speaker 14: remembers those whose homecoming came sadly and tragically in a 438 00:25:18,760 --> 00:25:22,119 Speaker 14: different way. But our mission, even as we remember to 439 00:25:22,200 --> 00:25:24,800 Speaker 14: honor those from the past, we our mission is forward looking. 440 00:25:25,119 --> 00:25:28,520 Speaker 14: We believe in homecomings, We work for homecomings, and under 441 00:25:28,560 --> 00:25:32,520 Speaker 14: the President's leadership, we will not stop until every single 442 00:25:32,920 --> 00:25:35,720 Speaker 14: unjustly detained American is brought home. 443 00:25:37,600 --> 00:25:40,359 Speaker 2: All right. The State Department has now called out Afghanistan 444 00:25:40,480 --> 00:25:45,320 Speaker 2: for this, specifically labeling them as a nation that holds 445 00:25:45,359 --> 00:25:48,320 Speaker 2: American hostages. I want you to look at this gentleman, 446 00:25:48,800 --> 00:25:54,000 Speaker 2: Dennis Coyle. Dennis Coyle was an academic who is being 447 00:25:54,040 --> 00:25:57,040 Speaker 2: held in Afghanistan. He's been visited by Katari, so we 448 00:25:57,119 --> 00:26:01,520 Speaker 2: know he is alive. Another am we're not so sure 449 00:26:01,640 --> 00:26:05,240 Speaker 2: of his fate in Afghanistan. That would be Paul Overbe, 450 00:26:05,280 --> 00:26:09,760 Speaker 2: a journalist who was believed to have interviewed the leader 451 00:26:09,880 --> 00:26:14,199 Speaker 2: of the Hakani terrorist network in Afghanistan. There is thoughts 452 00:26:14,240 --> 00:26:17,920 Speaker 2: that they killed him and he is not alive. There's 453 00:26:17,960 --> 00:26:21,840 Speaker 2: another gentleman by the name of Paul Jackson, not sure 454 00:26:21,880 --> 00:26:25,800 Speaker 2: of his situation there. Details are sketching. And the last 455 00:26:25,840 --> 00:26:30,840 Speaker 2: I want to tell you about is Mahmoud uh Mahmoud Habibi. 456 00:26:31,160 --> 00:26:35,800 Speaker 2: Mahmoud Habibi was a translator for the United States during 457 00:26:35,800 --> 00:26:40,119 Speaker 2: the Afghan War. He went on to lead civil aviation 458 00:26:40,280 --> 00:26:45,560 Speaker 2: for the United States, ultimately getting his American citizenship because 459 00:26:45,720 --> 00:26:50,359 Speaker 2: of how much he helped Americans there. Well, apparently when 460 00:26:50,600 --> 00:26:54,240 Speaker 2: we killed am and Azwahari, a brutal terrorist who deserved 461 00:26:54,240 --> 00:26:59,000 Speaker 2: to die, the Taliban went in and scooped up Mahmoud 462 00:26:59,160 --> 00:27:03,200 Speaker 2: Habibi and they are not admitting they have him, and 463 00:27:03,359 --> 00:27:06,560 Speaker 2: we don't know where he is. Well with me now 464 00:27:06,600 --> 00:27:10,040 Speaker 2: to discuss this is the brother of Mahmud Habibi, who 465 00:27:10,200 --> 00:27:14,320 Speaker 2: was taken hostage by the Taliban. As I mentioned, Ahmed Habibi, 466 00:27:14,359 --> 00:27:17,640 Speaker 2: who was also very helpful to American forces in Afghanistan, 467 00:27:17,920 --> 00:27:20,959 Speaker 2: is with us.

He's been more than tree 475 00:27:40,040 --> 00:27:42,560 Speaker 10: and a half years that since he was taken. He 476 00:27:42,680 --> 00:27:46,120 Speaker 10: was taken by the GDI they are the intelligence department 477 00:27:46,200 --> 00:27:52,080 Speaker 10: of the Taliban in August of twenty twenty two, and 478 00:27:52,240 --> 00:27:55,320 Speaker 10: since then they're holding them my brother like it's been 479 00:27:55,359 --> 00:27:58,359 Speaker 10: three and a half years. But they did not allow 480 00:27:58,440 --> 00:28:00,359 Speaker 10: us to talk to him. They did not allow was 481 00:28:00,400 --> 00:28:03,160 Speaker 10: to meet him, and they are not acknowledging that they 482 00:28:03,200 --> 00:28:07,240 Speaker 10: have him, even though there are overwhelming proofs that the 483 00:28:07,359 --> 00:28:10,920 Speaker 10: US government has that they have him, and there are 484 00:28:11,480 --> 00:28:15,280 Speaker 10: witness testimonies from the US, like the US government has 485 00:28:15,320 --> 00:28:19,280 Speaker 10: them that that that proves that the Tally Bands have him, 486 00:28:19,280 --> 00:28:22,560 Speaker 10: but they keep denying that they. 487 00:28:22,520 --> 00:28:26,920 Speaker 2: Have in all right, the Trump administration, I know, takes 488 00:28:26,960 --> 00:28:29,959 Speaker 2: us very seriously.

They are doing everything to 500 00:29:06,200 --> 00:29:09,880 Speaker 10: bring my brother home. Unlike Biden's administration, they were very 501 00:29:09,920 --> 00:29:14,320 Speaker 10: soft on the Taliban like in the previous administration. We 502 00:29:14,480 --> 00:29:16,840 Speaker 10: keep telling them that they need to press the Taliban 503 00:29:16,960 --> 00:29:20,880 Speaker 10: to have them admit it, admit that they have my brother. However, 504 00:29:21,040 --> 00:29:23,200 Speaker 10: they did not listen to us, and they did not 505 00:29:23,560 --> 00:29:27,600 Speaker 10: press them enough so they could acknowledge my brother, even 506 00:29:27,640 --> 00:29:30,640 Speaker 10: though they had evidences that they took my brother, and 507 00:29:30,680 --> 00:29:35,160 Speaker 10: they had technical data. They had witness testimonies too, but 508 00:29:35,600 --> 00:29:38,920 Speaker 10: they did not use them to press the Taliban. But 509 00:29:39,280 --> 00:29:42,480 Speaker 10: Trump administration they are good. They're using sticks, and we 510 00:29:42,920 --> 00:29:46,160 Speaker 10: think that that's helping and at some point the Taliban 511 00:29:46,160 --> 00:29:49,800 Speaker 10: will acknowledge my brother and they will eventually release him. 512 00:29:50,720 --> 00:29:54,520 Speaker 2: All right, I'm at clearly you and your brother love America. 513 00:29:54,600 --> 00:29:57,440 Speaker 2: You were so helpful to American forces when we were 514 00:29:57,480 --> 00:30:02,080 Speaker 2: in Afghanistan. You both become America citizens. He stays behind 515 00:30:02,160 --> 00:30:06,800 Speaker 2: to lead up civil aviation in Afghanistan. Was he not 516 00:30:07,000 --> 00:30:10,600 Speaker 2: concerned that once the Taliban knew that he was a 517 00:30:10,680 --> 00:30:13,560 Speaker 2: translator and he had worked for American forces there, that 518 00:30:13,680 --> 00:30:16,080 Speaker 2: he would be a target to be scooped up. 519 00:30:18,000 --> 00:30:21,520 Speaker 10: When he was taken when the Taliban regin came to Afghanistan, 520 00:30:21,560 --> 00:30:25,400 Speaker 10: he was working for a private company called arx or 521 00:30:25,400 --> 00:30:29,320 Speaker 10: ACG in Afghanistan, so he was working at the aviation sector. 522 00:30:30,320 --> 00:30:30,520 Speaker 9: Well. 523 00:30:30,520 --> 00:30:33,280 Speaker 4: When the Taliban announced that they have nothing to do 524 00:30:33,360 --> 00:30:37,720 Speaker 4: with the people who supported the US. 525 00:30:37,600 --> 00:30:40,040 Speaker 10: Government or who worked with the US government, or who 526 00:30:40,120 --> 00:30:44,000 Speaker 10: worked for the Aghan Gorman, we have nothing to do 527 00:30:44,040 --> 00:30:46,640 Speaker 10: with them, and they are safe in Afghanistan. So unfortunately 528 00:30:46,680 --> 00:30:50,600 Speaker 10: he trusted them, and then he just stayed there and 529 00:30:51,080 --> 00:30:53,200 Speaker 10: tried to work there. So he was going back and forth. 530 00:30:53,200 --> 00:30:55,720 Speaker 10: He was coming to the US and going to Afghanistan. 531 00:30:56,160 --> 00:30:58,680 Speaker 10: But unfortunately he was taken after one year when the 532 00:30:58,720 --> 00:30:59,400 Speaker 10: Taliban came. 533 00:30:59,480 --> 00:31:03,880 Speaker 2: So the government clearly the Taliban can't be trusted. They're 534 00:31:03,920 --> 00:31:06,600 Speaker 2: still bad actors in the region. Ahmed, you know, and 535 00:31:06,920 --> 00:31:11,600 Speaker 2: I'm told America still is giving millions, if not billions 536 00:31:11,640 --> 00:31:14,840 Speaker 2: of dollars to Afghanistan controlled by the Taliban right now. 537 00:31:14,880 --> 00:31:16,840 Speaker 2: That has to be tremendously frustrating. 538 00:31:18,120 --> 00:31:20,760 Speaker 10: Of course, Well, the CIA is not doing the right thing. 539 00:31:20,840 --> 00:31:24,160 Speaker 10: We have they have giving them the Taliban like forty 540 00:31:24,200 --> 00:31:27,360 Speaker 10: million dollars every week, and they're supporting the same they're 541 00:31:27,400 --> 00:31:30,760 Speaker 10: giving the same agency who took my brother, the GDI. 542 00:31:30,800 --> 00:31:34,800 Speaker 10: They are the intelligence of the Taliban. So the CIA, 543 00:31:34,920 --> 00:31:38,520 Speaker 10: they could use that money that they give to the Taliban, 544 00:31:38,600 --> 00:31:40,640 Speaker 10: they could use that as a leverage and they could 545 00:31:40,800 --> 00:31:43,760 Speaker 10: just ask them to release my brother if they If 546 00:31:43,800 --> 00:31:46,600 Speaker 10: the CIA would try, my brother would. 547 00:31:46,160 --> 00:31:46,840 Speaker 4: Be home today. 548 00:31:46,880 --> 00:31:51,880 Speaker 10: So but unfortunately they did not, And and the money 549 00:31:51,880 --> 00:31:54,920 Speaker 10: that they've been giving to the Taliban. I don't know 550 00:31:54,960 --> 00:31:57,640 Speaker 10: why they're still funding them when they are keeping the 551 00:31:57,680 --> 00:32:00,160 Speaker 10: American hostages with them. 552 00:32:00,680 --> 00:32:02,800 Speaker 2: Well, that would be something I would be pushing for, 553 00:32:02,840 --> 00:32:04,680 Speaker 2: and I will push for it on a big level, 554 00:32:04,760 --> 00:32:07,840 Speaker 2: is to cut funding and especially use that as a 555 00:32:07,880 --> 00:32:09,880 Speaker 2: bargaining tool to get your brother back. 556 00:32:10,280 --> 00:32:12,040 Speaker 1: Lastly, i'm ed Habibi. 557 00:32:12,920 --> 00:32:14,680 Speaker 2: What is the message that you would want the Trump 558 00:32:14,720 --> 00:32:17,840 Speaker 2: administration to hear else, I'll specifically say President Trump and 559 00:32:17,880 --> 00:32:20,400 Speaker 2: Marco Rubio are Secretary of State.

This is 610 00:35:02,600 --> 00:35:05,880 Speaker 2: a quote in the New York Post. I support whatever 611 00:35:05,960 --> 00:35:09,120 Speaker 2: changes to Senate rules that may prove necessary for us 612 00:35:09,160 --> 00:35:12,560 Speaker 2: to get the Save America Act and Homeland Security funding 613 00:35:12,600 --> 00:35:16,919 Speaker 2: past the Democrats' obstruction. This could be a talking filibuster. 614 00:35:17,880 --> 00:35:20,920 Speaker 2: So he supports this now because all the while he 615 00:35:20,960 --> 00:35:24,480 Speaker 2: didn't support it. But you know, this is all about politics. 616 00:35:24,920 --> 00:35:27,239 Speaker 2: And then Ken Paxton forced him into this position while 617 00:35:27,320 --> 00:35:29,080 Speaker 2: NBC asked him about it. 618 00:35:29,640 --> 00:35:32,200 Speaker 6: Obviously said that new king, the Philibuster, would be taking 619 00:35:32,200 --> 00:35:33,760 Speaker 6: a wrecking ball to Senate rules. 620 00:35:34,040 --> 00:35:36,600 Speaker 4: Is that no longer true? 621 00:35:37,760 --> 00:35:39,360 Speaker 1: I said I'd be open to reforms. 622 00:35:40,239 --> 00:35:42,000 Speaker 6: What would you say to those who say you just 623 00:35:42,120 --> 00:35:43,800 Speaker 6: changed your mind to win the president's. 624 00:35:43,440 --> 00:35:49,400 Speaker 2: Endorsement, So that's not true. You also said that it's 625 00:35:49,640 --> 00:35:55,719 Speaker 2: I go away, thank you. It's the worst way to 626 00:35:55,760 --> 00:35:59,120 Speaker 2: react to questions. Those are legitimate questions that voters want 627 00:35:59,160 --> 00:36:02,000 Speaker 2: to know, and you hold up your hand to the 628 00:36:02,040 --> 00:36:04,839 Speaker 2: camera and say go away like you're a little fly 629 00:36:05,120 --> 00:36:09,000 Speaker 2: annoying me. That is the arrogance of the establishment that 630 00:36:09,120 --> 00:36:12,800 Speaker 2: I cannot stand. It's the first time I saw that clip, 631 00:36:12,800 --> 00:36:14,720 Speaker 2: and it makes me even angry. And then I already 632 00:36:14,760 --> 00:36:15,879 Speaker 2: am about all of this. 633 00:36:16,719 --> 00:36:17,680 Speaker 1: I want to bring in now. 634 00:36:17,680 --> 00:36:20,839 Speaker 2: The publisher for Texas Scorecard, Michael quinn Sullivan, is with 635 00:36:20,920 --> 00:36:22,040 Speaker 2: us MQS. 636 00:36:22,120 --> 00:36:25,439 Speaker 5: Welcome back, Hey, Greg, great to be with you, my friend. 637 00:36:26,280 --> 00:36:28,359 Speaker 2: Does that make you just as mad as I am 638 00:36:28,400 --> 00:36:30,799 Speaker 2: holding up his hand go away from my goal? Away? 639 00:36:30,880 --> 00:36:31,640 Speaker 9: Yeah? 640 00:36:31,719 --> 00:36:33,839 Speaker 5: You know, it'd be one thing if this were an 641 00:36:33,920 --> 00:36:39,040 Speaker 5: antagonistic reporter playing the little gotcha game. Look, the young 642 00:36:39,120 --> 00:36:43,840 Speaker 5: lady sounded very respectful. She's asking very clear questions, questions 643 00:36:43,880 --> 00:36:47,759 Speaker 5: that a lot of us have for years. John Cornyn, Look, 644 00:36:47,800 --> 00:36:51,239 Speaker 5: you can agree disagree, but the fact is he has 645 00:36:51,320 --> 00:36:55,520 Speaker 5: opposed these kinds of reforms to the filibuster. The fact 646 00:36:55,600 --> 00:36:58,680 Speaker 5: that he is now, at this moment, taking a different 647 00:36:58,760 --> 00:37:03,760 Speaker 5: position should bear some conversation. Look, I'm all for people 648 00:37:03,880 --> 00:37:06,960 Speaker 5: changing their minds. Coming over to my position, I'm all 649 00:37:07,040 --> 00:37:10,120 Speaker 5: for people admitting that in the past they were wrong 650 00:37:10,200 --> 00:37:11,319 Speaker 5: and now they want to be right. 651 00:37:11,440 --> 00:37:12,040 Speaker 1: That's great. 652 00:37:12,080 --> 00:37:15,440 Speaker 5: We love giving people second chances. But I think that 653 00:37:15,520 --> 00:37:19,560 Speaker 5: when you're an election season, particularly a tightly contested election season, 654 00:37:19,880 --> 00:37:24,319 Speaker 5: the voters deserve to know what's motivating this change. Is 655 00:37:24,320 --> 00:37:27,799 Speaker 5: this a permanent change? Ords it only a change of convenience? 656 00:37:28,719 --> 00:37:28,920 Speaker 3: You know? 657 00:37:29,239 --> 00:37:33,759 Speaker 2: I think he's so mad angry at not really just 658 00:37:33,920 --> 00:37:36,399 Speaker 2: Ken Packson. I'm sure he's mad at Packson. I think 659 00:37:36,440 --> 00:37:38,920 Speaker 2: he's so mad at the voters. He has such a 660 00:37:39,160 --> 00:37:44,319 Speaker 2: disdain for grassroots Texans. How dare they vote against this 661 00:37:44,360 --> 00:37:46,640 Speaker 2: guy who's been made the king a long time ago 662 00:37:47,080 --> 00:37:48,560 Speaker 2: and he's pissed about it? 663 00:37:48,680 --> 00:37:53,560 Speaker 5: Michael, Look, I mean he is still stinging from I 664 00:37:53,600 --> 00:37:57,279 Speaker 5: guess it's now four or five years ago when there 665 00:37:57,440 --> 00:38:02,400 Speaker 5: was twenty minutes of sustained boo from the fifteen thousand 666 00:38:02,520 --> 00:38:07,000 Speaker 5: delegates to the Republican State Convention when he came up. 667 00:38:07,040 --> 00:38:10,360 Speaker 5: That was after he had made some deals with Democrats 668 00:38:10,400 --> 00:38:12,719 Speaker 5: on red flag laws. Look again, you can have an 669 00:38:12,760 --> 00:38:16,279 Speaker 5: honest debate about these issues, but you do have to 670 00:38:16,320 --> 00:38:20,040 Speaker 5: be prepared for what your voters have to say about. 671 00:38:20,040 --> 00:38:23,879 Speaker 5: And the voters didn't like it. Look again, I'm all 672 00:38:23,920 --> 00:38:28,200 Speaker 5: for politicians going from a bad position to a good position. 673 00:38:28,320 --> 00:38:32,520 Speaker 5: They do have to recognize that for the rest of us, 674 00:38:33,040 --> 00:38:35,960 Speaker 5: for the common people, we would just like to understand 675 00:38:36,000 --> 00:38:39,040 Speaker 5: their rationale. Because he made a strong point for a 676 00:38:39,120 --> 00:38:43,960 Speaker 5: long time about opposing changes to the filibuster, sometimes persuasively 677 00:38:44,040 --> 00:38:47,160 Speaker 5: to folks. Now that he's taking a different position, he 678 00:38:47,239 --> 00:38:48,520 Speaker 5: should be willing to defend it. 679 00:38:49,560 --> 00:38:49,719 Speaker 1: Yeah. 680 00:38:49,800 --> 00:38:52,080 Speaker 2: Well, the reason he's doing is because it's about self 681 00:38:52,080 --> 00:38:55,960 Speaker 2: interest over national interest, which is literally how he governs 682 00:38:55,960 --> 00:38:59,640 Speaker 2: his entire life. Self interest over national interest. Michael, I'm 683 00:38:59,640 --> 00:39:02,799 Speaker 2: going to ask to help me here. So we have 684 00:39:03,080 --> 00:39:07,200 Speaker 2: some older folks who watch this, many Texans, they fall 685 00:39:07,239 --> 00:39:09,600 Speaker 2: in corn and camp just because they've been there a 686 00:39:09,640 --> 00:39:12,280 Speaker 2: long time. And Corny has been around, and they're maybe 687 00:39:12,360 --> 00:39:14,799 Speaker 2: not as involved as you and me to see all 688 00:39:14,800 --> 00:39:17,480 Speaker 2: of the importance of this. Can you give your best 689 00:39:17,640 --> 00:39:21,240 Speaker 2: argument as to why someone like that who just didn't 690 00:39:21,320 --> 00:39:25,239 Speaker 2: understand Cornin, why are we so upset about him of 691 00:39:25,280 --> 00:39:27,360 Speaker 2: why they should give Ken Paxon a chance. 692 00:39:28,760 --> 00:39:33,440 Speaker 5: Look, you and I and everyone should set personalities to 693 00:39:33,520 --> 00:39:36,719 Speaker 5: the side as much as humanly possible. We need to 694 00:39:36,719 --> 00:39:41,319 Speaker 5: think of ourselves as being the hiring managers for a corporation. 695 00:39:41,640 --> 00:39:45,239 Speaker 5: We are on the Committee to save the Republic, and 696 00:39:45,400 --> 00:39:48,880 Speaker 5: our job is to hire men and women to do 697 00:39:48,960 --> 00:39:53,000 Speaker 5: the various jobs that will save the Republic, which means 698 00:39:53,239 --> 00:39:56,239 Speaker 5: every time we have a hiring season, every time that 699 00:39:56,280 --> 00:39:59,520 Speaker 5: we're looking at the candidates. We shouldn't simply do what 700 00:39:59,560 --> 00:40:03,000 Speaker 5: we've all we's done, because maybe what we've always done 701 00:40:03,120 --> 00:40:06,000 Speaker 5: is why we're in the position we're in today. The 702 00:40:06,040 --> 00:40:08,879 Speaker 5: worst thing that we can do is put on our 703 00:40:09,760 --> 00:40:13,359 Speaker 5: team Paxton shirt, our team corn And shirt and say 704 00:40:13,400 --> 00:40:16,920 Speaker 5: never again shall I change shirts until God removes it 705 00:40:16,960 --> 00:40:19,880 Speaker 5: from my body. That's not the system of government our 706 00:40:19,920 --> 00:40:23,160 Speaker 5: founding fathers gave us. Our founding fathers gave us a 707 00:40:23,200 --> 00:40:26,520 Speaker 5: system in which you and I and our thirty million 708 00:40:26,640 --> 00:40:30,440 Speaker 5: fellow Texans take a look at these candidates with clear eyes. 709 00:40:30,520 --> 00:40:34,080 Speaker 5: We're not hiring our best friend. We're not promoting someone 710 00:40:34,120 --> 00:40:37,239 Speaker 5: who's going to be our pastor. We're not asking for 711 00:40:37,320 --> 00:40:40,360 Speaker 5: someone to walk our dog. No, we're hiring someone to 712 00:40:40,360 --> 00:40:42,759 Speaker 5: go to the United States Senate for a six year 713 00:40:42,880 --> 00:40:46,040 Speaker 5: term and do a very specific thing. And in that regard, 714 00:40:46,200 --> 00:40:48,919 Speaker 5: we should all be willing to take a fresh look, 715 00:40:48,960 --> 00:40:52,040 Speaker 5: with fresh eyes at the candidates a force. Today is 716 00:40:52,120 --> 00:40:54,440 Speaker 5: a different day than it was in two thousand and 717 00:40:54,480 --> 00:40:57,320 Speaker 5: two when John Cornyn was first selected to the United 718 00:40:57,360 --> 00:40:59,560 Speaker 5: States Senate. You need to make sure if you're going 719 00:40:59,600 --> 00:41:01,480 Speaker 5: to vote for John Cornyn or you're going to vote 720 00:41:01,520 --> 00:41:03,960 Speaker 5: for Kim Packson, you need to make sure you're doing 721 00:41:04,000 --> 00:41:07,240 Speaker 5: so not because you always have, but because you believe 722 00:41:07,440 --> 00:41:09,759 Speaker 5: that John Cornyn or Kim Paxson's going to be the 723 00:41:09,760 --> 00:41:12,000 Speaker 5: best person to save the republic. 724 00:41:12,880 --> 00:41:16,600 Speaker 2: Well, what great advice, Michael Quinn Sullivan Texas Scorecard. It's 725 00:41:16,640 --> 00:41:18,560 Speaker 2: always great having on the program. Thank you for that. 726 00:41:19,640 --> 00:41:20,160 Speaker 5: Thank you Grim. 727 00:41:21,120 --> 00:41:23,440 Speaker 2: You know, m QS just said something interesting. We're not 728 00:41:23,520 --> 00:41:26,080 Speaker 2: hiring our pastor. This is not an interview for who's 729 00:41:26,080 --> 00:41:27,960 Speaker 2: going to be your minister. It's about who's going to 730 00:41:28,040 --> 00:41:29,239 Speaker 2: be the best fighter to go up there in the 731 00:41:29,320 --> 00:41:33,400 Speaker 2: United States? Said it and fight for us. Okay, up next, 732 00:41:33,440 --> 00:41:37,280 Speaker 2: How is Operation Epic Fury affecting the price of gold? 733 00:41:37,400 --> 00:41:52,640 Speaker 2: We will talk about that next. Get an update on 734 00:41:52,880 --> 00:41:55,600 Speaker 2: where the price of gold is. Because gold is a 735 00:41:55,640 --> 00:41:58,799 Speaker 2: great barometer of everything going on in the world, and 736 00:41:58,840 --> 00:42:00,759 Speaker 2: we have a lot going on the world. I want 737 00:42:00,800 --> 00:42:03,959 Speaker 2: to bring in now, precious metal specialist for Birch Gold. 738 00:42:04,000 --> 00:42:06,239 Speaker 1: Philip Patrick is with us. Philip, welcome back. 739 00:42:09,320 --> 00:42:12,160 Speaker 2: All right, Philip, what is your assessment over the last 740 00:42:12,440 --> 00:42:13,880 Speaker 2: couple weeks since we last talked. 741 00:42:13,960 --> 00:42:14,960 Speaker 1: Now, with everything going. 742 00:42:14,840 --> 00:42:18,960 Speaker 16: On and Iran listen, it's things are getting hectic. We 743 00:42:19,040 --> 00:42:22,680 Speaker 16: see oil prices obviously skyrocket. We hit briefly one hundred 744 00:42:22,719 --> 00:42:25,960 Speaker 16: dollars a barrel over the weekend, back down to ninety 745 00:42:26,000 --> 00:42:29,160 Speaker 16: dollars a barrel today, so heading in the right direction. 746 00:42:29,280 --> 00:42:31,160 Speaker 16: But we have to remember a couple of weeks ago 747 00:42:31,520 --> 00:42:34,440 Speaker 16: sixty dollars a barrel, so we're up fifty percent from 748 00:42:34,480 --> 00:42:37,200 Speaker 16: where we were a few weeks ago. I think the 749 00:42:37,320 --> 00:42:40,359 Speaker 16: key thing here is how drawn out this is going 750 00:42:40,480 --> 00:42:43,960 Speaker 16: to be any extended action in the Middle East. I 751 00:42:44,000 --> 00:42:47,239 Speaker 16: think will drive oil prices up longer term. And we 752 00:42:47,320 --> 00:42:51,360 Speaker 16: have to remember, you know, oil is the most inflationary commodity. 753 00:42:51,400 --> 00:42:53,640 Speaker 16: It's not just what you fill your car up with. 754 00:42:53,960 --> 00:42:58,640 Speaker 16: It's used in transportation, manufacturing, and ultimately everyday good. So 755 00:42:58,880 --> 00:43:01,600 Speaker 16: if we cannot get a hand on higher oil prices, 756 00:43:01,800 --> 00:43:05,320 Speaker 16: it's going to fuel inflation and cause problems domestically. 757 00:43:05,600 --> 00:43:08,400 Speaker 2: All right, And that would then be a safe haven 758 00:43:08,480 --> 00:43:10,720 Speaker 2: to put your money, would be to put it back 759 00:43:10,840 --> 00:43:16,160 Speaker 2: into gold. I say cash is trash and gold really 760 00:43:16,239 --> 00:43:18,320 Speaker 2: is the place to be Phillip. 761 00:43:18,760 --> 00:43:22,000 Speaker 16: Yeah, and cash is trash is absolutely correct. I mean, 762 00:43:22,040 --> 00:43:26,160 Speaker 16: anybody sitting in sort of fixed interest rate products in 763 00:43:26,320 --> 00:43:30,360 Speaker 16: any currency in this climate broadly is losing to inflation. 764 00:43:30,840 --> 00:43:35,120 Speaker 16: We've been talking for a while about the fundamental supporting gold. 765 00:43:35,200 --> 00:43:40,000 Speaker 16: It's d dollarization, it's inflation, it's global instability. The more 766 00:43:40,000 --> 00:43:44,000 Speaker 16: instability we see, the more it plays into to gold prices. 767 00:43:44,040 --> 00:43:47,920 Speaker 16: So we're seeing movement. Gold's around fifty one fifty, silver's 768 00:43:47,920 --> 00:43:52,759 Speaker 16: around eighty five dollars. Investment banks and out rapidly raising predictions. 769 00:43:52,800 --> 00:43:56,000 Speaker 16: Goldman Sachs I think say sixty three hundred for gold 770 00:43:56,040 --> 00:43:59,040 Speaker 16: prices by the end of the year. So I'm telling people, 771 00:43:59,440 --> 00:44:02,200 Speaker 16: don't look at the price of gold, look at what's 772 00:44:02,440 --> 00:44:06,040 Speaker 16: driving its price. And the fundamentals today are stronger than ever. 773 00:44:06,640 --> 00:44:08,600 Speaker 2: All right, let me tell people how they can get 774 00:44:08,640 --> 00:44:11,880 Speaker 2: with you and your folks over at Birch Gold. Philip Patrick, 775 00:44:11,920 --> 00:44:16,160 Speaker 2: always great having you on.

That's next commercial Hello. 781 00:44:48,080 --> 00:44:49,640 Speaker 1: E level that nobody's seen before. 782 00:44:50,320 --> 00:44:52,000 Speaker 3: It's pretty it's pretty amazing to us. 783 00:44:52,120 --> 00:44:54,239 Speaker 15: Give us as a timeline on when you're planning to 784 00:44:54,360 --> 00:44:54,759 Speaker 15: tap the. 785 00:44:54,800 --> 00:44:57,839 Speaker 14: Strategic petroleum reserve, a timeline of when that could happen. 786 00:44:57,920 --> 00:45:00,839 Speaker 3: You're to be doing it very quickly, and then we'll 787 00:45:00,880 --> 00:45:02,920 Speaker 3: fill it up. We'll fill up our reserves, you know, 788 00:45:03,520 --> 00:45:06,040 Speaker 3: if you remember I filled them up, and then I 789 00:45:06,080 --> 00:45:09,239 Speaker 3: had a deal to go at the highest level, a 790 00:45:09,360 --> 00:45:12,880 Speaker 3: level that's never been and Schumer the Democrats for twenty 791 00:45:12,960 --> 00:45:16,600 Speaker 3: five dollars and it was turned down. You remember that, Peter, 792 00:45:17,080 --> 00:45:18,120 Speaker 3: almost before. 793 00:45:17,920 --> 00:45:20,000 Speaker 15: Your time, but not quite, but it was. 794 00:45:20,640 --> 00:45:23,279 Speaker 3: We had a deal at twenty five dollars. Think of that, 795 00:45:23,760 --> 00:45:27,319 Speaker 3: twenty five dollars a barrel, and the Democrats. 796 00:45:26,760 --> 00:45:27,239 Speaker 5: Turned it down. 797 00:45:27,280 --> 00:45:29,759 Speaker 3: We're gonna fill it, We're gonna tap it out like 798 00:45:29,880 --> 00:45:32,040 Speaker 3: it's never been. But they turned that down, and now 799 00:45:32,120 --> 00:45:34,560 Speaker 3: it's a lot higher. 800 00:45:35,760 --> 00:45:39,880 Speaker 14: Considering hot on the US Treasury Department by oil features 801 00:45:39,920 --> 00:45:43,160 Speaker 14: as a means to keep the oil prices down, we're 802 00:45:43,160 --> 00:45:43,600 Speaker 14: gonna be in. 803 00:45:43,719 --> 00:45:44,360 Speaker 9: Very good shape. 804 00:45:44,400 --> 00:45:48,200 Speaker 3: You see it to what's happening, they are pretty much 805 00:45:48,239 --> 00:45:49,879 Speaker 3: at the end of the line. Doesn't mean we're gonna 806 00:45:49,960 --> 00:45:52,960 Speaker 3: end it immediately, but they are. They've got no navy, 807 00:45:53,040 --> 00:45:56,319 Speaker 3: they've got no air force, they've got no anti air 808 00:45:56,440 --> 00:46:01,200 Speaker 3: traffic anything. They have no systems of control. We're just 809 00:46:01,920 --> 00:46:05,200 Speaker 3: riding free range over that country. And now we're going 810 00:46:05,239 --> 00:46:07,920 Speaker 3: to look very strongly at the Straits. The Straits are 811 00:46:08,760 --> 00:46:11,360 Speaker 3: in great shape. We've knocked out all of their boats. 812 00:46:12,200 --> 00:46:15,000 Speaker 3: They have some missiles, but not very many. I think 813 00:46:15,040 --> 00:46:17,040 Speaker 3: we're in very good We're in very good shape. 814 00:46:17,320 --> 00:46:19,400 Speaker 17: The main thing is we have to win this. They 815 00:46:19,480 --> 00:46:22,279 Speaker 17: win it quickly, but win it. And there are many 816 00:46:22,360 --> 00:46:26,359 Speaker 17: people I'm just watching some of the news. Most people 817 00:46:26,440 --> 00:46:29,000 Speaker 17: say it's already been won. It's just a question of 818 00:46:29,080 --> 00:46:31,880 Speaker 17: when when do we stop. We don't want to let 819 00:46:31,960 --> 00:46:35,080 Speaker 17: it regrow, and ideally would like to see somebody in 820 00:46:35,200 --> 00:46:37,160 Speaker 17: there that knows what they're doing. In other words, they 821 00:46:37,200 --> 00:46:38,080 Speaker 17: can build a country. 822 00:46:39,040 --> 00:46:39,200 Speaker 2: Now. 823 00:46:39,440 --> 00:46:42,880 Speaker 3: One other thing, we can hit sections of Turan and 824 00:46:43,120 --> 00:46:47,840 Speaker 3: other places that if you do it, it'll be almost 825 00:46:47,920 --> 00:46:51,480 Speaker 3: impossible for them to rebuild their country, and we don't 826 00:46:51,480 --> 00:46:55,319 Speaker 3: want that.
