1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:02,840
Speaker 1: And once again calling on all members of the Iranian

2
00:00:02,920 --> 00:00:06,200
Speaker 1: Revolutionary Guard, the military, and the police to lay down

3
00:00:06,800 --> 00:00:07,280
Speaker 1: their arms.

4
00:00:07,280 --> 00:00:08,360
Speaker 2: They're only going to be killed.

5
00:00:09,440 --> 00:00:11,360
Speaker 1: And now is the time to stand up for the

6
00:00:11,360 --> 00:00:14,800
Speaker 1: Iranian people and help take back your country. You're going

7
00:00:14,840 --> 00:00:18,200
Speaker 1: to have a chance after all these years to take

8
00:00:18,280 --> 00:00:22,400
Speaker 1: back your country. Except immunity. We'll give you immunity and

9
00:00:22,480 --> 00:00:26,280
Speaker 1: will be giving you really the right side of history,

10
00:00:26,280 --> 00:00:31,200
Speaker 1: because that's what it is. So you'll be perfectly safe

11
00:00:31,200 --> 00:00:36,080
Speaker 1: with total immunity, or you'll face absolutely guaranteed death. And

12
00:00:36,159 --> 00:00:38,360
Speaker 1: I don't want to see that. They don't want to

13
00:00:38,360 --> 00:00:42,280
Speaker 1: see it either. We also hearge Iranian diplomats around the

14
00:00:42,280 --> 00:00:45,199
Speaker 1: world to request asylum and to help us shape a

15
00:00:45,320 --> 00:00:49,640
Speaker 1: new and better Iran with great potential. It's the country

16
00:00:49,680 --> 00:00:53,959
Speaker 1: with great potential as much better future for Iran. It's

17
00:00:54,000 --> 00:00:57,200
Speaker 1: now beginning. It's going to be I think, a great future,

18
00:00:57,240 --> 00:01:00,200
Speaker 1: and the United States will ensure that whoever leaves it's

19
00:01:00,200 --> 00:01:03,320
Speaker 1: the country next. Iran will not threat in America or

20
00:01:03,320 --> 00:01:05,000
Speaker 1: its neighbors, Israel, anybody.

21
00:01:05,080 --> 00:01:08,080
Speaker 3: And we begin with breaking news in the war with Iran.

22
00:01:08,160 --> 00:01:13,480
Speaker 3: The push to punish Iran is expanding from the battlefront

23
00:01:13,520 --> 00:01:17,280
Speaker 3: to the banking system mourning Joe has learned that the

24
00:01:17,400 --> 00:01:21,920
Speaker 3: United Arab Emirates moved forward early this morning on its

25
00:01:22,000 --> 00:01:25,960
Speaker 3: threat to freeze billions of dollars in Iranian assets. That's

26
00:01:25,959 --> 00:01:29,240
Speaker 3: according to a top official in the region speaking with Joe.

27
00:01:29,800 --> 00:01:33,640
Speaker 3: The UAE has long been a financial hub for Iran

28
00:01:33,840 --> 00:01:38,440
Speaker 3: and its business interests seeking to avoid Western sanctions. The

29
00:01:38,480 --> 00:01:41,319
Speaker 3: Wall Street Journal had reported that such a move by

30
00:01:41,480 --> 00:01:46,280
Speaker 3: UAE officials would sever a key economic lifeline for Iran

31
00:01:46,400 --> 00:01:50,440
Speaker 3: and cut off its access to foreign capital and trade.

32
00:01:51,000 --> 00:01:54,960
Speaker 3: The Iranians, who have fired over one thousand missiles into

33
00:01:54,960 --> 00:01:59,120
Speaker 3: the UAE, have suffered a sharp economic downturn that was

34
00:01:59,200 --> 00:02:03,320
Speaker 3: responsible for public demonstrations that led up to the American

35
00:02:03,480 --> 00:02:06,640
Speaker 3: and Israeli attacks on that country.

36
00:02:06,720 --> 00:02:08,200
Speaker 4: Maybe what comes next side?

37
00:02:08,240 --> 00:02:11,800
Speaker 5: President Trump told Axios he needs to be involved in

38
00:02:11,840 --> 00:02:13,880
Speaker 5: the selection of Iran's next leader.

39
00:02:14,240 --> 00:02:15,720
Speaker 4: Asked about reports.

40
00:02:15,240 --> 00:02:18,320
Speaker 5: That the son of the now deceased Diahtola may be

41
00:02:18,480 --> 00:02:21,119
Speaker 5: picked to lead i Ran, Trump called the Ayatola's son

42
00:02:21,160 --> 00:02:24,920
Speaker 5: a quote lightweight who would force the US back to

43
00:02:25,000 --> 00:02:29,160
Speaker 5: war in five years. President then compared the situation to Venezuela,

44
00:02:29,280 --> 00:02:32,800
Speaker 5: saying he needs to be involved in picking the next leader,

45
00:02:33,360 --> 00:02:36,960
Speaker 5: like he did with the now acting President of Venezuela,

46
00:02:37,480 --> 00:02:38,960
Speaker 5: Delsey Rodriguez.

47
00:02:53,400 --> 00:03:04,080
Speaker 6: John Trump has not ruled out boots on the ground

48
00:03:04,200 --> 00:03:07,600
Speaker 6: in Iran. Are you afraid of a US invasion in

49
00:03:07,639 --> 00:03:08,240
Speaker 6: your country?

50
00:03:09,120 --> 00:03:10,280
Speaker 4: No, we are waiting for them.

51
00:03:12,600 --> 00:03:15,280
Speaker 6: You were waiting for the US military to invade the ground.

52
00:03:15,080 --> 00:03:19,960
Speaker 7: Troops, Yes, because we are confident that we can confront

53
00:03:20,000 --> 00:03:22,919
Speaker 7: them and that would be a big disaster for them.

54
00:03:25,760 --> 00:03:28,359
Speaker 6: So you're saying that that Iran is ready and willing

55
00:03:28,400 --> 00:03:30,360
Speaker 6: to take on the US military if there were to

56
00:03:30,360 --> 00:03:30,959
Speaker 6: be ground.

57
00:03:30,760 --> 00:03:35,880
Speaker 7: Troops, Well, we were ready for this war even more

58
00:03:36,280 --> 00:03:37,360
Speaker 7: than the previous war.

59
00:03:38,240 --> 00:03:39,240
Speaker 4: So you can see.

60
00:03:39,800 --> 00:03:42,160
Speaker 7: You know the quality of our resize, how much they

61
00:03:42,200 --> 00:03:45,240
Speaker 7: are upgraded after the last war, because we learned lots

62
00:03:45,280 --> 00:03:49,120
Speaker 7: of lessons and we are prepared for any other eventuality,

63
00:03:49,480 --> 00:03:53,520
Speaker 7: even you know, a ground invasion. So our soldiers are

64
00:03:53,600 --> 00:03:57,120
Speaker 7: prepared for any scenario. When I said that we are

65
00:03:57,160 --> 00:03:59,160
Speaker 7: wating for them, it didn't mean that we are waiting

66
00:03:59,280 --> 00:04:02,720
Speaker 7: for continuation of the war. No, but we have prepared

67
00:04:02,760 --> 00:04:08,160
Speaker 7: ourselves to confront with any scenario, with any eventuality, any possibility,

68
00:04:08,440 --> 00:04:09,400
Speaker 7: and we know that we can.

69
00:04:09,400 --> 00:04:11,160
Speaker 8: Handle them when it comes to the war.

70
00:04:11,240 --> 00:04:11,760
Speaker 4: Itself.

71
00:04:11,880 --> 00:04:14,720
Speaker 8: It seems that Lebanon is quickly becoming a major front

72
00:04:14,800 --> 00:04:17,680
Speaker 8: with Israel targeting has bel of fighters there. The US

73
00:04:17,720 --> 00:04:21,320
Speaker 8: and Israel continues striking Iran, and Iran is attacking several

74
00:04:21,320 --> 00:04:24,640
Speaker 8: countries in the Gulf. Some European nations are now deploying

75
00:04:24,720 --> 00:04:27,680
Speaker 8: their planes and ships to the area, but they insist

76
00:04:28,040 --> 00:04:31,039
Speaker 8: it is only to protect their people and their interests,

77
00:04:31,360 --> 00:04:33,400
Speaker 8: and not to join the attack on Iran.

78
00:04:33,880 --> 00:04:35,040
Speaker 5: Meanwhile, the House.

79
00:04:34,839 --> 00:04:38,640
Speaker 8: Narrowly voted down a resolution today they could have rained

80
00:04:38,680 --> 00:04:41,039
Speaker 8: in Trump's war powers in Iran. The Senate did the

81
00:04:41,040 --> 00:04:44,680
Speaker 8: same thing yesterday, which means that whatever happens in this

82
00:04:44,760 --> 00:04:48,480
Speaker 8: war going forward, Republicans in Congress own it just as

83
00:04:48,520 --> 00:04:50,040
Speaker 8: much as President Trump does.

84
00:04:51,200 --> 00:04:53,120
Speaker 9: Well, we just had an important series of votes on

85
00:04:53,120 --> 00:04:56,200
Speaker 9: the House floor. As you know, the war powers resolution failed.

86
00:04:56,640 --> 00:04:59,320
Speaker 9: That is the right result. We are not at war.

87
00:04:59,440 --> 00:05:00,839
Speaker 4: We have no inti being at war.

88
00:05:01,320 --> 00:05:03,919
Speaker 9: The President and the Department of Defense has made this

89
00:05:04,040 --> 00:05:05,880
Speaker 9: very clear. The Apartment of War has made it very clear.

90
00:05:06,200 --> 00:05:10,200
Speaker 9: This is a limited operation. It's an operation. It's limited

91
00:05:10,200 --> 00:05:13,440
Speaker 9: in its scope and duration. It has a very clear mission,

92
00:05:13,480 --> 00:05:17,760
Speaker 9: and that mission is nearly accomplished by all estimates. We

93
00:05:18,839 --> 00:05:23,760
Speaker 9: are taking down Iron's ballistic missile capability, it's it's stockpile

94
00:05:23,800 --> 00:05:26,240
Speaker 9: and its ability to produce more. They were doing that

95
00:05:26,480 --> 00:05:29,440
Speaker 9: at a at a scale and a speed that was

96
00:05:29,480 --> 00:05:33,000
Speaker 9: more than our regional allies could keep up with, and

97
00:05:33,080 --> 00:05:35,440
Speaker 9: it was a serious and eminent threat to the United States.

98
00:05:35,640 --> 00:05:38,479
Speaker 9: We don't need to really relitigate all that today, but

99
00:05:38,560 --> 00:05:40,920
Speaker 9: also we wanted to take down the capability of their navy,

100
00:05:40,960 --> 00:05:43,760
Speaker 9: and all of that has been very successful, so this

101
00:05:43,800 --> 00:05:46,000
Speaker 9: needs to continue. It would have been a very dangerous

102
00:05:46,000 --> 00:05:48,880
Speaker 9: gambit to take the Commander in chief's ability it away

103
00:05:48,920 --> 00:05:52,479
Speaker 9: to complete this mission. It would have been a very

104
00:05:52,520 --> 00:05:57,039
Speaker 9: serious misstep by Congress, and I'm grateful that that resolution failed.

105
00:06:09,960 --> 00:06:13,360
Speaker 1: Marco, you've been doing a fantastic job, and you've been

106
00:06:13,360 --> 00:06:16,440
Speaker 1: doing a fantastic job on a place called Cuba. What's

107
00:06:16,480 --> 00:06:20,279
Speaker 1: happening with Cuba is amazing, and we think that we

108
00:06:20,440 --> 00:06:23,279
Speaker 1: want to finish this one first, but that will be

109
00:06:23,440 --> 00:06:23,760
Speaker 1: just the.

110
00:06:23,760 --> 00:06:24,440
Speaker 2: Question of time.

111
00:06:24,640 --> 00:06:27,320
Speaker 1: He's doing some job and your next one is going

112
00:06:27,360 --> 00:06:30,279
Speaker 1: to be we want to do that special qby he's waiting,

113
00:06:30,279 --> 00:06:32,240
Speaker 1: but he says, let's get this one finished first.

114
00:06:32,960 --> 00:06:34,599
Speaker 4: We could do them all at the same time. But

115
00:06:34,640 --> 00:06:35,520
Speaker 4: bad things happen.

116
00:06:35,760 --> 00:06:37,760
Speaker 1: If you watch countries over the years, you do them

117
00:06:37,760 --> 00:06:38,520
Speaker 1: all too fast.

118
00:06:39,160 --> 00:06:42,799
Speaker 4: Bad things happen. Have Dana bash with us right now?

119
00:06:42,839 --> 00:06:45,400
Speaker 6: And Dana, I understand you just got off the phone

120
00:06:46,040 --> 00:06:47,120
Speaker 6: with President Trump.

121
00:06:47,240 --> 00:06:48,480
Speaker 4: What did you hear from him?

122
00:06:49,839 --> 00:06:54,159
Speaker 10: I did, John, good morning. He just broadly speaking, He

123
00:06:54,279 --> 00:06:58,000
Speaker 10: insists that on a scale of ten, with ten being

124
00:06:58,000 --> 00:07:01,119
Speaker 10: the best, he thinks that the war is I would

125
00:07:01,120 --> 00:07:06,000
Speaker 10: say at twelve, maybe fifteen. He said that the US

126
00:07:06,600 --> 00:07:11,120
Speaker 10: is doing very well militarily, quote better than anybody could

127
00:07:11,160 --> 00:07:15,240
Speaker 10: have dreamed. He said that he rebuilt the military in

128
00:07:15,280 --> 00:07:18,480
Speaker 10: his first term, he's using it in his second. And

129
00:07:18,520 --> 00:07:23,240
Speaker 10: then he quickly turned to Cuba. He said, without being asked,

130
00:07:23,320 --> 00:07:25,960
Speaker 10: Cuba is going to fall pretty soon, by the way,

131
00:07:26,440 --> 00:07:29,040
Speaker 10: but Cuba is going to fall. They want to make

132
00:07:29,040 --> 00:07:31,920
Speaker 10: a deal so badly. And I asked how so? He said,

133
00:07:32,320 --> 00:07:33,840
Speaker 10: they want to make a deal. So I'm going to

134
00:07:33,840 --> 00:07:36,920
Speaker 10: put Marco over there and we'll see how that works.

135
00:07:37,200 --> 00:07:39,600
Speaker 10: But we're really focus on this one now, meaning Iran.

136
00:07:40,000 --> 00:07:42,240
Speaker 10: He's got plenty of time on.

137
00:07:42,240 --> 00:07:47,040
Speaker 8: Cuba image abroad and specifically, how are our NATO allies

138
00:07:47,440 --> 00:07:48,440
Speaker 8: computing all of this.

139
00:07:49,440 --> 00:07:54,360
Speaker 11: I think this is a gigantic blow against America's soft power.

140
00:07:55,200 --> 00:07:57,440
Speaker 11: I mean, the last time we took a hit like

141
00:07:57,480 --> 00:07:59,880
Speaker 11: this was probably the Iraq War in two thousand and three,

142
00:08:00,040 --> 00:08:03,440
Speaker 11: when our positive rating all around the world was like

143
00:08:03,560 --> 00:08:08,160
Speaker 11: in the teens. I think, you know, we're risking this

144
00:08:08,240 --> 00:08:11,520
Speaker 11: kind of clash of civilizations with the West against the

145
00:08:11,600 --> 00:08:16,680
Speaker 11: Muslim world. I think America's brand now, even though Trump

146
00:08:16,840 --> 00:08:19,680
Speaker 11: says it's the hottest in history, by the way, whatever

147
00:08:19,720 --> 00:08:22,280
Speaker 11: that means the hottest things like in nineteen eighties phrase,

148
00:08:22,520 --> 00:08:24,240
Speaker 11: I mean, it's exactly the opposite of that.

149
00:08:24,800 --> 00:08:25,920
Speaker 8: What's your biggest concern?

150
00:08:27,080 --> 00:08:28,440
Speaker 12: My biggest concern.

151
00:08:28,160 --> 00:08:31,560
Speaker 11: Is that the ramifications of this will go all around

152
00:08:31,680 --> 00:08:35,640
Speaker 11: the globe, that China and Russia will get involved. Not

153
00:08:35,679 --> 00:08:37,880
Speaker 11: only will China and Russian get involved, China and Russia

154
00:08:37,880 --> 00:08:41,160
Speaker 11: will feel that they can have autonomy in their own areas.

155
00:08:41,559 --> 00:08:44,959
Speaker 11: China would think, what's stopping me from invading Taiwan? Now

156
00:08:45,360 --> 00:08:49,280
Speaker 11: Putin will justify his invasion of Ukraine. I think it's

157
00:08:49,320 --> 00:08:53,600
Speaker 11: a much darker, harsher world. If superpowers can do what

158
00:08:53,640 --> 00:08:57,240
Speaker 11: they want and decapitate other regimes, It's not something I

159
00:08:57,440 --> 00:08:58,360
Speaker 11: look forward to seeing.

160
00:09:01,000 --> 00:09:06,160
Speaker 2: This is the primal scream of a dying regime. Pray

161
00:09:06,240 --> 00:09:09,680
Speaker 2: for our enemies because we're going to medieval on these people.

162
00:09:10,880 --> 00:09:13,520
Speaker 2: He's not got a free shot. All these networks lying

163
00:09:14,320 --> 00:09:16,520
Speaker 2: about the people, the people have had a belly full

164
00:09:16,559 --> 00:09:18,679
Speaker 2: of it. I know you don't like hearing that. I

165
00:09:18,679 --> 00:09:19,920
Speaker 2: know you try to do everything in the world to

166
00:09:19,960 --> 00:09:21,480
Speaker 2: stop that, but you're not going to stop it. It's

167
00:09:21,520 --> 00:09:22,360
Speaker 2: going to happen.

168
00:09:22,480 --> 00:09:24,680
Speaker 13: And where do people like that go to share the

169
00:09:24,720 --> 00:09:25,440
Speaker 13: big line?

170
00:09:25,960 --> 00:09:27,199
Speaker 4: Mega media?

171
00:09:27,360 --> 00:09:30,440
Speaker 2: I wish in my soul, I wish that any of

172
00:09:30,480 --> 00:09:34,280
Speaker 2: these people had a conscience. Ask yourself, what is my

173
00:09:34,440 --> 00:09:35,920
Speaker 2: task and what is my purpose?

174
00:09:36,600 --> 00:09:40,800
Speaker 5: If that answer is to save my country, this country

175
00:09:41,040 --> 00:09:42,720
Speaker 5: will be saved.

176
00:09:43,720 --> 00:09:45,760
Speaker 4: Here's your host, Stephen.

177
00:09:45,480 --> 00:09:46,000
Speaker 10: K Man.

178
00:09:51,440 --> 00:09:54,240
Speaker 2: Friday, sixth March and the Uarverarler of twenty twenty six.

179
00:09:54,960 --> 00:09:56,720
Speaker 2: Do you feel that we're in a fourth turning? Yet?

180
00:09:57,160 --> 00:09:58,640
Speaker 12: It is that? Are you?

181
00:09:59,160 --> 00:10:05,160
Speaker 2: Are you now believe in our theory of turnings? So

182
00:10:05,240 --> 00:10:06,760
Speaker 2: there's so much going on. I want to cut through

183
00:10:06,760 --> 00:10:10,040
Speaker 2: all the noise and focus on the signal one thing?

184
00:10:10,080 --> 00:10:12,280
Speaker 2: Can I play the So? I got Brandon Wiker up

185
00:10:12,320 --> 00:10:18,440
Speaker 2: here for some military observations about this ongoing military operation.

186
00:10:19,559 --> 00:10:21,520
Speaker 2: President Trump did come out a few minutes ago. I'll

187
00:10:21,520 --> 00:10:24,280
Speaker 2: get to that and put out a true social where

188
00:10:24,280 --> 00:10:27,880
Speaker 2: he said he was looking for unconditional surrender from the regime.

189
00:10:28,200 --> 00:10:30,600
Speaker 2: Raheem Kasam also is going to drum. We get updates

190
00:10:30,600 --> 00:10:34,280
Speaker 2: from Raheem and thinking this all through, plus this situation

191
00:10:34,480 --> 00:10:37,480
Speaker 2: in Texas with the Senate race, I want to go back.

192
00:10:37,640 --> 00:10:40,800
Speaker 2: We play the Morning Mika clip and i'll'll explain why

193
00:10:40,840 --> 00:10:42,640
Speaker 2: this is so important, and.

194
00:10:42,600 --> 00:10:45,480
Speaker 3: We begin with breaking news in the war with Iran.

195
00:10:45,559 --> 00:10:50,880
Speaker 3: The push to punish Iran is expanding from the battlefront

196
00:10:50,920 --> 00:10:54,680
Speaker 3: to the banking system. Morning Joe has learned that the

197
00:10:54,800 --> 00:10:59,320
Speaker 3: United Arab Emirates moved forward early this morning on its

198
00:10:59,400 --> 00:11:02,800
Speaker 3: threat to There is billions of dollars in Iranian assets.

199
00:11:03,160 --> 00:11:05,959
Speaker 3: That's according to a top official in the region speaking

200
00:11:06,080 --> 00:11:10,319
Speaker 3: with Joe. The UAE has long been a financial hub

201
00:11:10,360 --> 00:11:15,439
Speaker 3: for Iran and its business interests, seeking to avoid Western sanctions.

202
00:11:15,760 --> 00:11:18,440
Speaker 3: The Wall Street Journal had reported that such a move

203
00:11:18,559 --> 00:11:23,240
Speaker 3: by UAE officials would sever a key economic lifeline for

204
00:11:23,320 --> 00:11:27,920
Speaker 3: Iran and cut off its access to foreign capital and trade.

205
00:11:28,400 --> 00:11:32,360
Speaker 3: The Iranians, who have fired over one thousand missiles into

206
00:11:32,360 --> 00:11:36,520
Speaker 3: the UAE, have suffered a sharp economic downturn that was

207
00:11:36,600 --> 00:11:40,719
Speaker 3: responsible for public demonstrations that led up to the American

208
00:11:40,920 --> 00:11:44,160
Speaker 3: and Israeli attacks on that country.

209
00:11:45,240 --> 00:11:48,079
Speaker 2: Okay, as we tell you, in war, particularly economic war,

210
00:11:48,240 --> 00:11:50,680
Speaker 2: this is one of the dirty little secrets that you know,

211
00:11:50,720 --> 00:11:52,880
Speaker 2: a lot of people don't talk about because you would

212
00:11:52,880 --> 00:11:58,040
Speaker 2: think that naturally UAE in Iran, in the Saudiast particularly

213
00:11:58,120 --> 00:12:02,720
Speaker 2: those two have always been directly confrontational with the with

214
00:12:02,760 --> 00:12:06,160
Speaker 2: the Iranians, whereas Katar maybe was in business with them

215
00:12:06,240 --> 00:12:09,640
Speaker 2: joint you know, had had uh the gas fields part

216
00:12:09,640 --> 00:12:12,880
Speaker 2: of our jointly uh a jointly run. The reality is,

217
00:12:13,040 --> 00:12:15,080
Speaker 2: and this is why there is such an important development.

218
00:12:15,520 --> 00:12:17,960
Speaker 2: We'll get into some of the economics of of hitting

219
00:12:18,600 --> 00:12:24,439
Speaker 2: these refineries, hitting desalination plants. Uh. The Dubai. The the

220
00:12:24,559 --> 00:12:30,080
Speaker 2: Dubai is the equivalent of was it Tartuga for the

221
00:12:30,080 --> 00:12:33,760
Speaker 2: Caribbean pirates Captain Morgan uh in that crowd and also

222
00:12:33,760 --> 00:12:36,640
Speaker 2: a financial center back then where they get actually trade

223
00:12:36,640 --> 00:12:41,880
Speaker 2: their stolen goods uh into into cash into gold. Same

224
00:12:41,920 --> 00:12:46,360
Speaker 2: thing here, the financial center Dubai. The reason that the

225
00:12:46,400 --> 00:12:49,920
Speaker 2: Persians can get around sanctions, the reason that they could

226
00:12:49,920 --> 00:12:54,640
Speaker 2: still survive is they used the bay and use the banks,

227
00:12:54,760 --> 00:12:59,600
Speaker 2: just like in the Ukraine Russian War when the EU

228
00:12:59,760 --> 00:13:03,920
Speaker 2: and the EU banks and Biden regime talked about seizing

229
00:13:04,600 --> 00:13:09,280
Speaker 2: the financial assets of the Russian people, and clearly that

230
00:13:09,400 --> 00:13:12,840
Speaker 2: had a major impact, a massive impact on Russia's ability

231
00:13:12,920 --> 00:13:17,400
Speaker 2: to continue the war. Here, the same thing, the economic war,

232
00:13:17,880 --> 00:13:22,839
Speaker 2: the total war that's happening in around Iran is only metastasizing.

233
00:13:22,920 --> 00:13:25,679
Speaker 2: This is why the Chinese Communist Party, the Russians who

234
00:13:25,679 --> 00:13:27,920
Speaker 2: have been the Chinese Companies Party, has been just sitting

235
00:13:27,920 --> 00:13:30,080
Speaker 2: there because one of the ways they do their traders

236
00:13:30,080 --> 00:13:33,600
Speaker 2: to is to buy. But UAE actually announcing they're prepared

237
00:13:33,640 --> 00:13:35,920
Speaker 2: to didn't say they're doing it, but prepared to seize

238
00:13:36,240 --> 00:13:38,959
Speaker 2: the financial assets will change the game here and it

239
00:13:39,080 --> 00:13:42,559
Speaker 2: really start to cut the Iridians off from any ability

240
00:13:43,320 --> 00:13:46,800
Speaker 2: to actually do financial transactions. So it's not through Switzerland

241
00:13:47,240 --> 00:13:49,920
Speaker 2: they do this, which really through Dubai, and that is

242
00:13:49,960 --> 00:13:53,720
Speaker 2: a major announcement. Also shows you the types of hits

243
00:13:53,760 --> 00:13:56,600
Speaker 2: that the arrange. Although they're being very the degradation of

244
00:13:56,640 --> 00:14:00,880
Speaker 2: their systems is pretty advanced. They're still hitting refinery, they

245
00:14:00,920 --> 00:14:04,960
Speaker 2: hit a they hit their targeting desalination plants. Someone in

246
00:14:04,960 --> 00:14:07,360
Speaker 2: the region told me today, folks in Dubai and u

247
00:14:07,360 --> 00:14:11,280
Speaker 2: AE ought to start filling their bathtubs up with fresh water. Anyway,

248
00:14:11,280 --> 00:14:13,360
Speaker 2: we're gonna get into all that. Brandon Wiker's with us

249

00:14:52,080 --> 00:14:57,600

Speaker 2: production team, will also do a Sunday show. Brandon Wikert,

278
00:15:54,880 --> 00:15:58,240
Speaker 2: the you know is Napoleonic are class fits? I guess

279
00:15:58,240 --> 00:16:01,240
Speaker 2: coss fits took the lessons in the poll and codified it.

280
00:16:01,320 --> 00:16:05,240
Speaker 2: But the center of gravity of battle and one of

281
00:16:05,280 --> 00:16:07,200
Speaker 2: the things we're trying to do here is to make

282
00:16:07,240 --> 00:16:11,160
Speaker 2: sure that you have as good a comprehensive view of

283
00:16:11,240 --> 00:16:14,000
Speaker 2: exactly what's going on, and so then you can start

284
00:16:14,040 --> 00:16:16,800
Speaker 2: to pull your own This audience can start to pull

285
00:16:16,840 --> 00:16:19,440

286
00:16:19,920 --> 00:16:22,120
Speaker 2: and give you as much information for as many different

287
00:16:22,160 --> 00:16:26,280
Speaker 2: experts as possible who are on very different sides of

288
00:16:26,360 --> 00:16:29,120
Speaker 2: this conflict. And that's why you'll see Rabbi Wilecki, and

289
00:16:29,200 --> 00:16:32,920
Speaker 2: you'll see you a Brian Kennedy and Frank Gaffney, and

290
00:16:32,920 --> 00:16:37,040
Speaker 2: you'll also see a Treaty Parsi and Kurt Mills. We

291
00:16:37,120 --> 00:16:39,320
Speaker 2: try to get you all the Eric Prince, who I

292
00:16:39,360 --> 00:16:40,920
Speaker 2: think did a great job this week, and I've been

293
00:16:40,920 --> 00:16:44,320
Speaker 2: talking to Eric. He's currently engaged in something, but we're

294
00:16:44,360 --> 00:16:47,360
Speaker 2: talking Eric NonStop. I want to go into the reason

295
00:16:47,400 --> 00:16:50,920
Speaker 2: this is why the financial part of this, because we

296
00:16:50,960 --> 00:16:53,400
Speaker 2: were the first ones to identify the financial aspects and

297
00:16:53,440 --> 00:16:56,760
Speaker 2: the economic aspects of the Ukraine Russian War, and it's

298
00:16:56,760 --> 00:17:00,080
Speaker 2: one of the reasons that there's many operational reasons, but

299
00:17:00,200 --> 00:17:02,920
Speaker 2: one of the reasons that the Russians really, you know,

300
00:17:02,960 --> 00:17:06,280
Speaker 2: the twenty percent of Ukraine they've taken, it's been kind

301
00:17:06,280 --> 00:17:08,159
Speaker 2: of stagnant for the last couple of years. One of

302
00:17:08,200 --> 00:17:11,040
Speaker 2: the reasons that they've had some real financial and economic problems,

303
00:17:11,040 --> 00:17:13,880
Speaker 2: and that was part of that was what was done

304
00:17:13,880 --> 00:17:17,080
Speaker 2: by seizing their assets, which is this is also for

305
00:17:17,119 --> 00:17:19,200
Speaker 2: those of you that were smart enough to get into

306
00:17:20,280 --> 00:17:23,600
Speaker 2: gold back when it was two thousand Bucks and we

307
00:17:23,640 --> 00:17:26,080
Speaker 2: started talking about it or really pardoned with Birch when

308
00:17:26,080 --> 00:17:31,000
Speaker 2: it was eleven hundred. But that of the of the

309
00:17:31,040 --> 00:17:33,440
Speaker 2: Russian Ukraine War, we said had never been done before.

310
00:17:33,480 --> 00:17:35,119
Speaker 2: We didn't do it with the Nazis, we didn't do

311
00:17:35,160 --> 00:17:38,119
Speaker 2: it with the Imperial Japanese, we didn't do it to

312
00:17:38,160 --> 00:17:41,920
Speaker 2: the Bolsheviks. That actually sees their assets here. The center

313
00:17:41,920 --> 00:17:46,280
Speaker 2: of gravity of battle part of it, on the kinetic

314
00:17:46,320 --> 00:17:51,080
Speaker 2: part obviously is Tehran. The IDF had a massive fifty

315
00:17:51,680 --> 00:17:55,080
Speaker 2: fighter bomber jets going last night. They did we did,

316
00:17:55,119 --> 00:17:56,719
Speaker 2: and that they did it and went in and had

317
00:17:56,760 --> 00:17:59,800
Speaker 2: a massive strike on one of the remaining command centers.

318
00:18:00,400 --> 00:18:02,679
Speaker 2: But as I look at this, the most interesting and

319
00:18:02,720 --> 00:18:05,320
Speaker 2: fascinating part to me, the real center of gravity I

320
00:18:05,359 --> 00:18:08,120
Speaker 2: think of this war right now is the Persian Gulf,

321
00:18:08,280 --> 00:18:14,880
Speaker 2: in the Golf and particularly the Emiratis, you know Kuwait, Qatar, Uae,

322
00:18:15,320 --> 00:18:17,879
Speaker 2: the Saudis and Bahrain. That's to me, it's one of

323
00:18:17,880 --> 00:18:21,919
Speaker 2: the most fascinating parts of this how the wars metastasized there.

324
00:18:22,480 --> 00:18:24,639
Speaker 2: And if you look at it, as much as Israel

325
00:18:24,680 --> 00:18:27,639
Speaker 2: has taken incoming or the amount of incoming that the

326
00:18:27,680 --> 00:18:32,080
Speaker 2: degraded forces of the Iranians can hit in the Israelis

327
00:18:32,119 --> 00:18:34,919
Speaker 2: right now, I think are as focused on Lebanon almost

328
00:18:34,960 --> 00:18:38,520
Speaker 2: as they are on Tehran. The center of gravity of

329
00:18:38,600 --> 00:18:41,879
Speaker 2: this battle and where it may be determined is in

330
00:18:41,920 --> 00:18:46,640
Speaker 2: the Gulf States, both financially economically with commodities like water.

331
00:18:47,240 --> 00:18:51,400
Speaker 2: Brandard Weikert, you're one of our experts. Your thoughts, sir well.

332
00:18:51,200 --> 00:18:54,920
Speaker 14: I think that's an excellent assessment on your part, Bravo.

333
00:18:55,320 --> 00:18:58,520
Speaker 14: I do want to challenge the traditional interpretation of the

334
00:18:58,560 --> 00:19:02,480
Speaker 14: klaus Witzian model only because I think we live now

335
00:19:02,560 --> 00:19:06,040
Speaker 14: in the age of war that is decentralized, so I

336
00:19:06,080 --> 00:19:09,480
Speaker 14: actually think you will have multiple centers of gravity. Back

337
00:19:09,560 --> 00:19:11,920
Speaker 14: in Klauswitz's day, it was always, as you note, the

338
00:19:12,200 --> 00:19:15,000
Speaker 14: primary center, and we're going to break that apart. But

339
00:19:15,160 --> 00:19:17,600
Speaker 14: ever since nine to eleven, and having lived through now

340
00:19:17,840 --> 00:19:20,840
Speaker 14: two wars in the Middle East, we should all be

341
00:19:20,880 --> 00:19:25,200
Speaker 14: aware we're not fighting centralized enemies really anymore. We're fighting

342
00:19:25,240 --> 00:19:29,800
Speaker 14: decentralized enemies. Even in Ukraine, you have a decentralized network approach,

343
00:19:30,000 --> 00:19:32,840
Speaker 14: which means you have sort of these multiple theaters and

344
00:19:32,960 --> 00:19:37,240
Speaker 14: multiple centers of gravity all pulling our attention, and so

345
00:19:37,640 --> 00:19:40,520
Speaker 14: one of those centers of gravity is the conventional realm,

346
00:19:40,560 --> 00:19:44,000
Speaker 14: which is the bombardment of Iran. And as I noted yesterday,

347
00:19:44,040 --> 00:19:46,879
Speaker 14: we have local air superiority that gives us pockets to

348
00:19:47,520 --> 00:19:51,840
Speaker 14: maneuver and really conduct strikes. But as you rightly note,

349
00:19:52,359 --> 00:19:57,920
Speaker 14: the Iranian front is really focused on haranguing not only

350
00:19:57,960 --> 00:20:01,919
Speaker 14: the Israelis in their backyard, but haranguing the Arabs in

351
00:20:02,000 --> 00:20:05,600
Speaker 14: their homes. And so far that has been the really

352
00:20:05,640 --> 00:20:09,160
Speaker 14: ontold story. We talk about the straight of Hermu's closure

353
00:20:09,160 --> 00:20:11,680
Speaker 14: and its effect on oil, we talk about the refineries

354
00:20:11,720 --> 00:20:14,280
Speaker 14: being struck, but it's not just that, it's the it's

355
00:20:14,280 --> 00:20:18,520
Speaker 14: the whole approach that Iran has for basically cutting down

356
00:20:18,640 --> 00:20:21,920
Speaker 14: the Arab states. Basically, in an fu if we're if

357
00:20:21,920 --> 00:20:23,480
Speaker 14: we're gonna go down, we're gonna take all of you

358
00:20:23,560 --> 00:20:24,200
Speaker 14: down with us.

359
00:20:24,640 --> 00:20:28,160
Speaker 2: And so far that's hang on that. That's what I'm saying,

360
00:20:28,240 --> 00:20:31,480
Speaker 2: is kind of gota damrong among the Muslims. Don't get

361
00:20:31,480 --> 00:20:33,359
Speaker 2: me wrong. They're hitting Israel as much as they can

362
00:20:33,440 --> 00:20:36,000
Speaker 2: hit it. And I do believe that, you know, Captain

363
00:20:36,000 --> 00:20:39,800
Speaker 2: Fanel and and Sencom's going through this punch list of

364
00:20:40,000 --> 00:20:43,760
Speaker 2: degradation of their of their missile. You know, missile program,

365
00:20:43,800 --> 00:20:46,680
Speaker 2: air program, all that, but the center of at least

366
00:20:46,680 --> 00:20:50,200
Speaker 2: the major center of gravity is Muslim versus Muslim. That's right, right,

367
00:20:50,280 --> 00:20:52,800
Speaker 2: And I realized it's during Ramadan, but you know, people say,

368
00:20:52,800 --> 00:20:55,879
Speaker 2: well that's not that important. It's in Ramadan uh and

369
00:20:55,920 --> 00:20:59,200
Speaker 2: you really see the Muslim countries going after each other.

370
00:20:59,280 --> 00:21:01,320
Speaker 2: What the range? I think it was a two hundred

371
00:21:01,359 --> 00:21:04,800
Speaker 2: drone strike onto the all refinery the other day they

372
00:21:04,840 --> 00:21:09,880
Speaker 2: hit that. They're hitting desalination plants. You have cutter, that's key,

373
00:21:09,960 --> 00:21:10,159
Speaker 2: by the.

374
00:21:10,200 --> 00:21:16,040
Speaker 14: Way, So those desalinization plants are the basically the lifeblood

375
00:21:16,240 --> 00:21:19,760
Speaker 14: for the citizens of those Arab countries. With that, I mean, remember,

376
00:21:19,760 --> 00:21:21,639
Speaker 14: this is a giant desert we're talking about, yet they

377
00:21:21,640 --> 00:21:24,439
Speaker 14: have these magnificent cities they've built in the middle of

378
00:21:24,480 --> 00:21:28,720
Speaker 14: these harsh environments, and that's because of desalinization. And once

379
00:21:28,760 --> 00:21:32,840
Speaker 14: you pop open those tanks, they're not coming back online

380
00:21:32,880 --> 00:21:34,879
Speaker 14: for a while. So that means, as you noted, you

381
00:21:34,960 --> 00:21:38,280
Speaker 14: better start filling up your bathtubs now, because now we're

382
00:21:38,280 --> 00:21:41,040
Speaker 14: talking about water shortages, and we're talking about this not

383
00:21:41,080 --> 00:21:43,399
Speaker 14: only being an oil war, but now this being a

384
00:21:43,560 --> 00:21:46,720
Speaker 14: water war and water wars. We're talking mad Max here

385
00:21:47,040 --> 00:21:49,919
Speaker 14: so this is exactly what the Iranians want, though, and

386
00:21:49,960 --> 00:21:53,760
Speaker 14: you note the intra or the inter Muslim fighting, I

387
00:21:53,800 --> 00:21:56,879
Speaker 14: would caution I would only say this, that's correct on

388
00:21:56,960 --> 00:22:00,280
Speaker 14: the superficial level right now. But we have to understand

389
00:22:00,600 --> 00:22:04,240
Speaker 14: the regimes that run these Arab countries are pro American

390
00:22:04,320 --> 00:22:07,679
Speaker 14: and they're nominally pro Israel even now, but the people

391
00:22:07,760 --> 00:22:12,880
Speaker 14: of the region are not necessarily pro American or pro Israel.

392
00:22:13,160 --> 00:22:15,440
Speaker 14: And the longer this war goes on and the more

393
00:22:15,480 --> 00:22:19,240
Speaker 14: those governments look incompetent and ineffective, the more likely there

394
00:22:19,280 --> 00:22:23,000
Speaker 14: will be revolutions in these Arab states that will threaten

395
00:22:23,240 --> 00:22:27,439
Speaker 14: and probably overthrow some of these friendly Arab regimes and

396
00:22:27,520 --> 00:22:30,720
Speaker 14: replace them with Islamists. And this gets us into the

397
00:22:30,840 --> 00:22:34,240
Speaker 14: nightmare scenario that my friend doctor Michael Schuyer has been

398
00:22:34,240 --> 00:22:37,879
Speaker 14: talking about for fifteen years, which is the fusion of

399
00:22:37,960 --> 00:22:42,920
Speaker 14: Shiite and Sunni extremism into one. And it's not unprecedented, Steve,

400
00:22:43,119 --> 00:22:47,000
Speaker 14: because during the Global War on Terror, Iran was allowing

401
00:22:47,040 --> 00:22:49,480
Speaker 14: their territory to be used as a transit node for

402
00:22:49,560 --> 00:22:52,359
Speaker 14: Al Qaeda fighters coming out of Afghanistan going into Iraq

403
00:22:52,400 --> 00:22:55,160
Speaker 14: and vice versa. So it is not unprecedented So this

404
00:22:55,240 --> 00:22:58,280
Speaker 14: is the real concern I have is the Iranian attacks

405
00:22:58,320 --> 00:23:00,919
Speaker 14: on these Arab governments is meant to show that they

406
00:23:00,920 --> 00:23:03,720
Speaker 14: are feckless and weak and they are gelded, and it

407
00:23:03,760 --> 00:23:07,719
Speaker 14: will trigger a natural response from the Arab people who

408
00:23:07,800 --> 00:23:09,760
Speaker 14: are going to want to overthrow those governments because they

409
00:23:09,760 --> 00:23:12,600
Speaker 14: want water, they want money back, they want their lives back.

410
00:23:13,040 --> 00:23:15,520
Speaker 2: Let me, let's let's just pull back for a second

411
00:23:16,640 --> 00:23:19,840
Speaker 2: as the American offense and President Trump just put up

412
00:23:19,960 --> 00:23:22,840
Speaker 2: a true social early this morning calling for unconditional surrender.

413
00:23:23,240 --> 00:23:25,520
Speaker 2: Last night, I think we had the clip play he

414
00:23:26,160 --> 00:23:30,919
Speaker 2: was adamant with the military. Either surrender and you'll get

415
00:23:30,960 --> 00:23:32,840
Speaker 2: to live and maybe you'll get immunity, or you're going

416
00:23:32,920 --> 00:23:37,119
Speaker 2: to die. I mean, his warnings on this couldn't be starker. Obviously,

417
00:23:37,200 --> 00:23:39,360
Speaker 2: he's been calling for people to up. You know, he's

418
00:23:39,400 --> 00:23:42,400
Speaker 2: looking for the Persian people, as he was a month ago,

419
00:23:42,440 --> 00:23:44,159
Speaker 2: to take this in their own hands and rise up.

420
00:23:44,520 --> 00:23:47,600
Speaker 2: Are you saying that the Iranian strategy on the counter

421
00:23:47,680 --> 00:23:50,679
Speaker 2: side is saying, Okay, there's three million people in Cutter,

422
00:23:50,960 --> 00:23:53,720
Speaker 2: there's only three hundred thousand in the tribe that runs

423
00:23:53,720 --> 00:23:55,399
Speaker 2: the country. Right, All the guys we see all the

424
00:23:55,400 --> 00:23:57,320
Speaker 2: time are from the three hundred thousand. It's really only

425
00:23:57,359 --> 00:24:00,960
Speaker 2: a couple thousand that run it the same. UAE's got

426
00:24:01,000 --> 00:24:03,719
Speaker 2: issues with the tons of foreigners. I think a lot

427
00:24:03,760 --> 00:24:06,920
Speaker 2: of she and they've been trying to topple the twenty

428
00:24:06,960 --> 00:24:11,199
Speaker 2: two million in Saudi Arabia. Are you saying that you

429
00:24:11,240 --> 00:24:13,879
Speaker 2: believe the Iranian strategy? Hey, if Israel and America is

430
00:24:13,880 --> 00:24:16,400
Speaker 2: going to do it to us, we're going to see

431
00:24:16,440 --> 00:24:18,320
Speaker 2: how long you stand. Is that your point, ding Go.

432
00:24:18,680 --> 00:24:20,879
Speaker 14: That's my point. I just want to also add the

433
00:24:20,880 --> 00:24:23,560
Speaker 14: President's strategy is deeply flawed. It is based on a

434
00:24:23,680 --> 00:24:28,080
Speaker 14: very flawed understanding of the Iranian regime. Remember your son, Sue,

435
00:24:28,080 --> 00:24:30,080
Speaker 14: and I know you're not only a military guy, Steve,

436
00:24:30,119 --> 00:24:32,399
Speaker 14: but you're also a business guy. So I remember the eighties.

437
00:24:32,440 --> 00:24:35,080
Speaker 14: I know they were teaching this to you guys. Son, Sue.

438
00:24:35,440 --> 00:24:39,360
Speaker 14: He said, always leave your enemy and avenue of escape

439
00:24:39,440 --> 00:24:43,000
Speaker 14: because otherwise, and I'm paraphrasing now, otherwise that enemy will

440
00:24:43,040 --> 00:24:45,520
Speaker 14: become a fanatic and will fight you to the death. Well,

441
00:24:45,560 --> 00:24:49,160
Speaker 14: guess what we're fighting not only Persians, but we're fighting

442
00:24:49,280 --> 00:24:53,360
Speaker 14: Islamists right now in Iran. They want to die. They

443
00:24:53,400 --> 00:24:56,439
Speaker 14: are happy to die. They want to fight us, and

444
00:24:56,480 --> 00:24:59,280
Speaker 14: they want to show that the American God King can bleed.

445
00:24:59,520 --> 00:25:03,199
Speaker 14: And right now they are showing that every day they last.

446
00:25:03,480 --> 00:25:04,720
Speaker 14: And that's the key here.

447
00:25:05,000 --> 00:25:08,359
Speaker 2: This is why is't but isn't. Don't you think his

448
00:25:08,480 --> 00:25:12,840
Speaker 2: point is he's trying to let those people know that. Remember,

449
00:25:12,960 --> 00:25:15,480
Speaker 2: sixty percent of the country I think is Persian. You've

450
00:25:15,520 --> 00:25:18,199
Speaker 2: got these other disparate elements of the other forty percent,

451
00:25:18,520 --> 00:25:23,240
Speaker 2: there is a hardcore you know, maybe a polarity of Islamist.

452
00:25:23,600 --> 00:25:25,280
Speaker 2: But he's trying to reach out. When he talks about

453
00:25:25,359 --> 00:25:28,359
Speaker 2: unconditional surrender, he talks about immunity, he's trying to reach

454
00:25:28,359 --> 00:25:31,680
Speaker 2: out that he knows he's got lots of dead enders there. Right,

455
00:25:31,720 --> 00:25:33,879
Speaker 2: it's a it's a dead enders.

456
00:25:33,920 --> 00:25:35,560
Speaker 14: I want to make that clear. This is more than

457
00:25:35,600 --> 00:25:37,760
Speaker 14: dead enders we're dealing with. But yes, please go ahead.

458
00:25:38,200 --> 00:25:40,800
Speaker 2: No, it's so you're My point is that there are

459
00:25:40,920 --> 00:25:43,920
Speaker 2: people that he I think he's trying to turn against

460
00:25:43,920 --> 00:25:47,760
Speaker 2: the existing regime by giving them a call to action. Uh,

461
00:25:47,840 --> 00:25:52,159
Speaker 2: he doesn't expect You don't expect the hardest core of

462
00:25:52,240 --> 00:25:56,199
Speaker 2: the death cult that is the Islamic Republic, because they

463
00:25:56,200 --> 00:25:58,640
Speaker 2: are a death cult. I mean martyrdom is there. This

464
00:25:58,720 --> 00:26:01,440
Speaker 2: is how they overthrew the shop. They weren't afraid of death.

465
00:26:01,480 --> 00:26:04,480
Speaker 2: And the Shaws guys had been trained by Western military.

466
00:26:04,560 --> 00:26:07,320
Speaker 2: They were a lot of them were secular. So there

467
00:26:07,320 --> 00:26:11,439
Speaker 2: were five hundred Iranian midshipmans when I was at Officer

468
00:26:11,480 --> 00:26:15,600
Speaker 2: Canada School. The Iranian midshipments were greater number in Newport,

469
00:26:15,640 --> 00:26:20,359
Speaker 2: Rhode Island than the American kidnets. The American midshipment that

470
00:26:20,359 --> 00:26:22,520
Speaker 2: we had at Officer Canada School. They outwait us and

471
00:26:23,800 --> 00:26:26,000
Speaker 2: a lot of those obviously were Muslim, but they were

472
00:26:26,119 --> 00:26:29,720
Speaker 2: quite secular. That's the guys that kind of left the

473
00:26:29,720 --> 00:26:31,720
Speaker 2: country anyway, Brandon, hang on, we're gonna go through this

474
00:26:31,840 --> 00:26:35,360
Speaker 2: in depth. Raheemkassam's gonna be with us. A lot going

475
00:26:35,400 --> 00:26:37,320
Speaker 2: on here in the war room on a Friday morning

476
00:26:37,640 --> 00:26:44,439
Speaker 2: at war or major military operation. You pick it. Short break,

477
00:27:00,119 --> 00:27:00,600
Speaker 2: war room.

478
00:27:01,000 --> 00:27:03,280
Speaker 4: Here's your host, Stephen k back.

479
00:27:05,840 --> 00:27:07,840
Speaker 2: Okay, we're going I get back to the to the

480
00:27:07,880 --> 00:27:10,720
Speaker 2: golf part of this. Also, Bbie, it seems like this

481
00:27:10,800 --> 00:27:14,840
Speaker 2: may be the last scene from the first Godfather film,

482
00:27:14,880 --> 00:27:16,879
Speaker 2: but we'll get into the Bernard Wiker in a moment.

483
00:27:17,520 --> 00:27:20,840
Speaker 2: Rahem Casam, your observation. I've got you here because of

484
00:27:22,119 --> 00:27:24,480
Speaker 2: the primary reason is because what's going on Texas. But

485
00:27:24,520 --> 00:27:25,880
Speaker 2: I want to get to that in a moment. Your

486
00:27:25,920 --> 00:27:30,120
Speaker 2: your thoughts and observations on where we stand. Mike Johnson

487
00:27:30,200 --> 00:27:32,560
Speaker 2: went out yesday after that, and there's not going to

488
00:27:32,560 --> 00:27:36,520
Speaker 2: be any War Powers Act movement at least now, and said,

489
00:27:36,560 --> 00:27:40,320
Speaker 2: this is a major military operation, focus on taking out

490
00:27:40,359 --> 00:27:43,800
Speaker 2: the weapons systems, taking out the ballistic missile capability and

491
00:27:43,840 --> 00:27:46,520
Speaker 2: also the ability to manufacture them, et cetera, et cetera.

492
00:27:47,440 --> 00:27:51,960
Speaker 2: It looks like the objectives may have shifted overnight from

493
00:27:52,000 --> 00:27:54,720
Speaker 2: the President, but your observations overall, sir.

494
00:27:55,680 --> 00:27:58,960
Speaker 13: Yeah, thanks Steve. Well, this will be a situation. I

495
00:27:59,000 --> 00:28:04,119
Speaker 13: think that we'll change day to day quite drastically. I really,

496
00:28:04,200 --> 00:28:06,159
Speaker 13: and I hate to say this, I really don't think

497
00:28:07,359 --> 00:28:10,240
Speaker 13: that the administration in the United States had thought through

498
00:28:10,320 --> 00:28:14,000
Speaker 13: just how much the Iranians had thought through this, especially

499
00:28:14,040 --> 00:28:18,439
Speaker 13: after previous attacks, especially after previously, you know, having the

500
00:28:18,640 --> 00:28:21,040
Speaker 13: nuclear enrichment programs somewhat crippled.

501
00:28:21,440 --> 00:28:22,640
Speaker 12: They have been making.

502
00:28:23,920 --> 00:28:27,359
Speaker 13: A number of different contingency plans for months now, and

503
00:28:27,400 --> 00:28:31,520
Speaker 13: I'm not sure, especially given the intelligence relationships around the

504
00:28:31,520 --> 00:28:34,480
Speaker 13: world at the moment that the US administration went into

505
00:28:34,520 --> 00:28:38,760
Speaker 13: this with completely clear eyes. I have spoken to a

506
00:28:38,800 --> 00:28:42,600
Speaker 13: lot of senior people and sources across the government in

507
00:28:42,680 --> 00:28:44,800
Speaker 13: recent days, and in fact, we were the first to

508
00:28:44,880 --> 00:28:48,440
Speaker 13: break this weekend, way before anybody gave it in an interview,

509
00:28:49,240 --> 00:28:52,320
Speaker 13: the idea that they had prepared for a four week

510
00:28:53,000 --> 00:28:53,880
Speaker 13: engagement here.

511
00:28:55,240 --> 00:28:56,200
Speaker 12: I do think it'll.

512
00:28:56,040 --> 00:28:59,560
Speaker 13: Be longer than that at this point, especially with what

513
00:28:59,600 --> 00:29:03,440
Speaker 13: you're seeing as this war sort of expands into Lebanon

514
00:29:03,800 --> 00:29:07,160
Speaker 13: and so on and so forth, you're starting to see

515
00:29:07,840 --> 00:29:11,640
Speaker 13: that mission creep, and you're also starting to see some

516
00:29:11,800 --> 00:29:17,040
Speaker 13: movement by the Islamic regime in Tehran to lure America

517
00:29:17,160 --> 00:29:20,400
Speaker 13: in to a ground operation. I think that is the

518
00:29:20,440 --> 00:29:24,240
Speaker 13: next part of this. I don't think they're going to surrender.

519
00:29:24,360 --> 00:29:27,600
Speaker 13: I don't think they're going to allow President Trump to

520
00:29:27,640 --> 00:29:32,280
Speaker 13: be hand picking the next Supreme leader. Firstly, that would

521
00:29:32,320 --> 00:29:37,640
Speaker 13: be a spiritual sellout as far as they're concerned, but also,

522
00:29:37,680 --> 00:29:38,440
Speaker 13: of course.

523
00:29:38,680 --> 00:29:39,640
Speaker 12: A geopolitical one.

524
00:29:39,640 --> 00:29:43,320
Speaker 13: And I think also they prepared for this by massacring

525
00:29:43,440 --> 00:29:46,320
Speaker 13: so many people who probably would be out on the

526
00:29:46,360 --> 00:29:49,280
Speaker 13: streets of Iran across the country right now had they

527
00:29:49,280 --> 00:29:54,000
Speaker 13: not been slaughtered a month or so ago, and on

528
00:29:54,040 --> 00:29:56,920
Speaker 13: the basis of you know, they went out there because

529
00:29:57,320 --> 00:30:00,720
Speaker 13: the United States said that if you go out there,

530
00:30:00,760 --> 00:30:03,640
Speaker 13: we will have your backs, and if the regime touches you,

531
00:30:04,440 --> 00:30:07,719
Speaker 13: we will punish them. Now, maybe that punishment is happening now.

532
00:30:07,880 --> 00:30:11,400
Speaker 13: And of course for the people who have been rightly

533
00:30:12,040 --> 00:30:16,560
Speaker 13: decapitated in the Iranian regime by the US government, that's true.

534
00:30:16,680 --> 00:30:20,640
Speaker 13: But for the ordinary Iranian people, they simply cannot feel

535
00:30:20,720 --> 00:30:24,040
Speaker 13: confident right now that this is going to end in

536
00:30:24,160 --> 00:30:28,240
Speaker 13: anything other than an even more heinous, even more dictatorial,

537
00:30:28,320 --> 00:30:31,400
Speaker 13: even more authoritarian regime out of Tehran.

538
00:30:32,200 --> 00:30:33,440
Speaker 12: They are a cornered animal.

539
00:30:33,520 --> 00:30:36,320
Speaker 13: They are lashing out, and the worst thing the President

540
00:30:36,360 --> 00:30:39,760
Speaker 13: can be doing now is thinking, right, we've got to

541
00:30:39,800 --> 00:30:41,960
Speaker 13: start thinking of putting boots on the ground here, because

542
00:30:41,960 --> 00:30:44,760
Speaker 13: that is exactly what they want. That is more caskets,

543
00:30:44,840 --> 00:30:47,520
Speaker 13: that has more body bags, that is more dover, that

544
00:30:47,640 --> 00:30:50,320
Speaker 13: is more American flags as droped on coffins, And that

545
00:30:50,440 --> 00:30:53,840
Speaker 13: is precisely what the Iranian regime wants.

546
00:30:54,520 --> 00:30:56,720
Speaker 2: How long hang around? I got to get to this

547
00:30:56,880 --> 00:30:59,680
Speaker 2: packs thing in a moment, But I look at our allies.

548
00:31:00,120 --> 00:31:04,520
Speaker 2: This is goes back to Rubio's speech and really a

549
00:31:04,920 --> 00:31:06,320
Speaker 2: look at the war, and it's one of the reasons

550
00:31:06,360 --> 00:31:09,920
Speaker 2: we're in Texas and put this proposition ten, how long

551
00:31:09,920 --> 00:31:14,080
Speaker 2: can the Labor government actually be an out quote unquote

552
00:31:14,080 --> 00:31:18,080
Speaker 2: ally of the United States when you have a significant

553
00:31:19,480 --> 00:31:23,880
Speaker 2: radical voice of Islamists actually in London and some in Parliament.

554
00:31:24,840 --> 00:31:27,080
Speaker 2: Is this work going to spread to Europe as part

555
00:31:27,160 --> 00:31:30,640
Speaker 2: of the issue of these Islamists that really taken on

556
00:31:31,120 --> 00:31:33,280
Speaker 2: these governments that supposedly are allies.

557
00:31:35,360 --> 00:31:37,800
Speaker 13: Well, I mean the Labor government in the United Kingdom

558
00:31:37,840 --> 00:31:39,960
Speaker 13: is all manner of problems on this right. Number one,

559
00:31:40,000 --> 00:31:43,080
Speaker 13: their own backbenches are probably more in the camp of

560
00:31:43,160 --> 00:31:46,360
Speaker 13: the Iranian Mullers than they are in the camp of

561
00:31:46,360 --> 00:31:49,120
Speaker 13: the United States. I mean, a lot of the parliamentary

562
00:31:49,200 --> 00:31:51,880
Speaker 13: Labor Party has been seen to be up in arms

563
00:31:52,280 --> 00:31:54,840
Speaker 13: about what's going on here. And look, there are right

564
00:31:54,880 --> 00:31:59,320
Speaker 13: reasons to do so, strategic geopolitical considerations that they need

565
00:31:59,360 --> 00:32:00,000
Speaker 13: to be taking place with.

566
00:32:00,000 --> 00:32:00,280
Speaker 12: They're not.

567
00:32:00,400 --> 00:32:02,880
Speaker 13: They're not operating from that basis. They're operating from the

568
00:32:02,880 --> 00:32:07,280
Speaker 13: fact that they do actually feel more solidarity with islambits

569
00:32:07,440 --> 00:32:10,240
Speaker 13: Muslims the world over than they feel with perhaps Donald

570
00:32:10,240 --> 00:32:15,560
Speaker 13: Trump and his administration. The Labor Party, the Labor government.

571
00:32:16,520 --> 00:32:18,920
Speaker 13: They know that this government itself knows it's on its

572
00:32:19,000 --> 00:32:19,640
Speaker 13: last legs.

573
00:32:19,880 --> 00:32:20,000
Speaker 10: Right.

574
00:32:20,040 --> 00:32:23,880
Speaker 13: You've got major elections coming up in May, local elections

575
00:32:23,920 --> 00:32:27,480
Speaker 13: all around the country. They are losing in special elections

576
00:32:27,520 --> 00:32:29,880
Speaker 13: all over the place. They lost to the Green Party

577
00:32:30,320 --> 00:32:33,880
Speaker 13: last week in a special election. They lost more two

578
00:32:33,920 --> 00:32:38,280
Speaker 13: more council seats to the Reform Party last night. And

579
00:32:38,800 --> 00:32:41,720
Speaker 13: everybody I speak to, whether it's over here or over there,

580
00:32:42,160 --> 00:32:44,840
Speaker 13: I'm talking on the left. I'm talking people who associate

581
00:32:45,000 --> 00:32:48,160
Speaker 13: with the Labor Party, tells me that Keir Starmer doesn't

582
00:32:48,240 --> 00:32:50,680
Speaker 13: have long to go as Prime minister. He knows he

583
00:32:50,720 --> 00:32:52,840
Speaker 13: doesn't have long to go as Prime minister. So the

584
00:32:52,920 --> 00:32:55,720
Speaker 13: last thing he wants to do, as in chronologically the

585
00:32:55,840 --> 00:32:59,680
Speaker 13: last thing you know, for him, is going into and

586
00:32:59,680 --> 00:33:02,320
Speaker 13: sending troops into a war here. He doesn't want to

587
00:33:02,360 --> 00:33:04,640
Speaker 13: do it. He doesn't want that to be his legacy.

588
00:33:04,920 --> 00:33:07,040
Speaker 13: Not that it's going to be pretty good anyway when

589
00:33:07,080 --> 00:33:09,520
Speaker 13: he leaves, but this he feels would be the ultimate

590
00:33:09,560 --> 00:33:13,160
Speaker 13: blow to his backbenches, to his supporters, which, as we know,

591
00:33:14,160 --> 00:33:18,880
Speaker 13: especially up and down the country, are significantly Muslim vosas.

592
00:33:19,400 --> 00:33:21,240
Speaker 2: Yeah, no, I was. I was told yesterday by a

593
00:33:21,320 --> 00:33:24,720
Speaker 2: number of people I talked to that this whole situation

594
00:33:24,800 --> 00:33:27,360
Speaker 2: with the airfield is that the British government has actually

595
00:33:27,400 --> 00:33:29,920
Speaker 2: proposed and said, hey, hang on, just for the optics

596
00:33:29,960 --> 00:33:34,200
Speaker 2: politics with these radical Muslims we have in the Labor Party,

597
00:33:34,240 --> 00:33:37,160
Speaker 2: these guys in Commons that we were just going to

598
00:33:37,200 --> 00:33:39,640
Speaker 2: block it for like five or six hours and then

599
00:33:39,680 --> 00:33:41,360
Speaker 2: we're going to give you full access, but we have

600
00:33:41,400 --> 00:33:43,560
Speaker 2: to come out of block it for the specific reason

601
00:33:44,240 --> 00:33:48,200
Speaker 2: that they have a Muslim base that will literally try

602
00:33:48,240 --> 00:33:50,080
Speaker 2: to topple the government right now if they did that,

603
00:33:50,280 --> 00:33:52,640
Speaker 2: they try to do these phony optics, and that shows

604
00:33:52,680 --> 00:33:55,080
Speaker 2: you this is why we're having this fight in Texas

605
00:33:55,160 --> 00:33:57,640
Speaker 2: right now. Raheem, You've called this for a long time.

606
00:33:58,000 --> 00:34:01,040
Speaker 2: This is a this is a mass of problem. These

607
00:34:01,080 --> 00:34:03,760
Speaker 2: Western governments are really not with us, and now we're

608
00:34:03,760 --> 00:34:07,160
Speaker 2: in this conflict in the Middle East against some of

609
00:34:07,160 --> 00:34:11,560
Speaker 2: the most radical Islamust around and you're seeing people are

610
00:34:11,640 --> 00:34:13,120
Speaker 2: choosing sites right.

611
00:34:14,239 --> 00:34:20,320
Speaker 13: Well, Steve, you know, the British government now has probably

612
00:34:20,320 --> 00:34:23,520
Speaker 13: two things it's operating with that are hanging over its

613
00:34:24,200 --> 00:34:28,920
Speaker 13: neck right like the Da McClean sword. Number one is

614
00:34:29,640 --> 00:34:33,560
Speaker 13: we can't anger our Muslim voter base, you know, they

615
00:34:33,600 --> 00:34:37,640
Speaker 13: are terribly worried about that, especially because of what happened

616
00:34:37,640 --> 00:34:40,520
Speaker 13: in Gorton and Denton, the special election last week where

617
00:34:40,520 --> 00:34:43,479
Speaker 13: they lost that Muslim supporter base to the radical left

618
00:34:43,520 --> 00:34:47,040
Speaker 13: Green Party, And there are so many things that are

619
00:34:47,080 --> 00:34:50,040
Speaker 13: still being unpacked in British politics as a result of

620
00:34:50,040 --> 00:34:53,360
Speaker 13: that election last week. Number two is if we do

621
00:34:53,480 --> 00:34:55,279
Speaker 13: go in for this, if we're seen to side with

622
00:34:55,320 --> 00:34:58,640
Speaker 13: the Americans, especially if we're seen to side with the Israelis,

623
00:34:58,880 --> 00:35:02,160
Speaker 13: then we're going to have rizal attacks in the United

624
00:35:02,239 --> 00:35:05,920
Speaker 13: Kingdom or on UK citizens around the world. And again,

625
00:35:06,239 --> 00:35:09,440
Speaker 13: you know, these are two elements where I focused on

626
00:35:09,520 --> 00:35:10,839
Speaker 13: this heavily over the.

627
00:35:10,719 --> 00:35:12,000
Speaker 12: Course of my entire career.

628
00:35:12,239 --> 00:35:15,280
Speaker 13: You know, I wrote the book Nogo Zones in twenty seventeen,

629
00:35:15,719 --> 00:35:17,879
Speaker 13: which was a best seller at the time, and I thought, great,

630
00:35:17,960 --> 00:35:20,399
Speaker 13: that means somebody's going to pay attention to what I'm

631
00:35:20,440 --> 00:35:23,799
Speaker 13: saying and perhaps changed policy. Course turns out not so true.

632
00:35:23,840 --> 00:35:25,719
Speaker 13: They just sort of read it and went yeah, maybe,

633
00:35:26,480 --> 00:35:30,640
Speaker 13: And this is what's happening. These these Muslim dominated enclaves

634
00:35:30,960 --> 00:35:36,160
Speaker 13: have now turned into Muslim dominated cities, Muslim dominated constituencies,

635
00:35:36,440 --> 00:35:42,040
Speaker 13: Muslim dominated parliaments, Muslim dominated city halls, and it's happened

636
00:35:42,080 --> 00:35:45,960
Speaker 13: at a pace that I don't think anybody truly got

637
00:35:46,000 --> 00:35:49,640
Speaker 13: to grips with even nine or ten years ago. That's

638
00:35:49,760 --> 00:35:54,360
Speaker 13: two sides of where Muslim communities in the Western world

639
00:35:54,680 --> 00:35:57,880
Speaker 13: are asserting their influence at the ballot box. And with

640
00:35:58,000 --> 00:36:02,480
Speaker 13: that overhanging terrorist threat and this labor government, I don't

641
00:36:02,480 --> 00:36:03,440
Speaker 13: want to do anything about it.

642
00:36:04,880 --> 00:36:08,560
Speaker 2: Brendan Weikert, the Greater Israel Project, and I said it

643
00:36:08,600 --> 00:36:12,359
Speaker 2: was like the last scene in The Godfather. Won bb

644
00:36:12,800 --> 00:36:14,799
Speaker 2: talk to me. You got this expanding war now in

645
00:36:14,840 --> 00:36:17,719
Speaker 2: love and I think they had a mass exodus last

646
00:36:17,800 --> 00:36:21,520
Speaker 2: night or yesterday from Beirut. You've got this whole uh

647
00:36:21,960 --> 00:36:25,239
Speaker 2: working with the Kurds, UH, the Iraqi Kurds, and and

648
00:36:25,320 --> 00:36:28,440
Speaker 2: the Kurds on the border up there in in uh

649
00:36:28,600 --> 00:36:32,239
Speaker 2: In in Iran. UH. You've got even there's some there's

650
00:36:32,239 --> 00:36:35,440
Speaker 2: some discussion I don't people are putting out. I don't

651
00:36:35,480 --> 00:36:36,520
Speaker 2: know if it could be verified.

652
00:36:36,960 --> 00:36:37,440
Speaker 12: They may be.

653
00:36:37,520 --> 00:36:40,799
Speaker 2: Even you know, not that unhappy with with some of

654
00:36:40,800 --> 00:36:42,759
Speaker 2: the things going on in the Gulf where it's uh,

655
00:36:42,960 --> 00:36:46,359
Speaker 2: it's Arab versus Persian, but Muslim versus Muslim. Your your

656
00:36:46,440 --> 00:36:47,359
Speaker 2: your thoughts on all.

657
00:36:47,320 --> 00:36:51,200
Speaker 14: That well, I think that the war is metastasizing. This

658
00:36:51,400 --> 00:36:54,560
Speaker 14: is most assuredly a regional conflict, and as the British

659
00:36:54,560 --> 00:36:57,000
Speaker 14: and the French, and the Russians and the Chinese become

660
00:36:57,040 --> 00:37:00,320
Speaker 14: more involved in the background, this is very much becoming

661
00:37:00,400 --> 00:37:03,640
Speaker 14: a world war right here. I wrote in my book

662
00:37:03,680 --> 00:37:06,080
Speaker 14: The Shadow War, I said that if we go to

663
00:37:06,120 --> 00:37:08,480
Speaker 14: war in Iran, it will be a world war. And

664
00:37:08,760 --> 00:37:11,600
Speaker 14: we are at that point now and you're seeing it,

665
00:37:12,239 --> 00:37:14,879
Speaker 14: notably in places like Lebanon now. During the Twelve Day

666
00:37:14,920 --> 00:37:21,840
Speaker 14: War actually from ten to seven onward, the Shiite militia Hezbolah,

667
00:37:21,880 --> 00:37:25,719
Speaker 14: which is Iranian backed, sort of stayed on the periphery

668
00:37:25,960 --> 00:37:29,000
Speaker 14: of the inevitable fight that ensued from those ten to

669
00:37:29,000 --> 00:37:31,919
Speaker 14: seven attacks. But what that allowed for them to do is, yes,

670
00:37:31,960 --> 00:37:35,000
Speaker 14: they lost those leaders with the pager attack. They've been

671
00:37:35,080 --> 00:37:36,879
Speaker 14: they were degraded for a period of time, but they've

672
00:37:36,920 --> 00:37:40,560
Speaker 14: reconstituted their force. That's why they were staying quiet. They

673
00:37:40,560 --> 00:37:44,280
Speaker 14: were slowly and quietly reconstituting their force for a moment

674
00:37:44,440 --> 00:37:47,520
Speaker 14: like this, and that is why now Israel is having

675
00:37:47,560 --> 00:37:51,120
Speaker 14: to divert limited resources away from the big fight in

676
00:37:51,160 --> 00:37:54,880
Speaker 14: Iran to try to go after and preempt what I

677
00:37:54,880 --> 00:37:58,600
Speaker 14: think is coming soon, which will be strikes on Haifa

678
00:37:58,960 --> 00:38:02,719
Speaker 14: with precision guided munitions. It's part of the precision project

679
00:38:03,080 --> 00:38:07,000
Speaker 14: in Lebanon that the Iranian Revolutionary Guards Corps was building

680
00:38:07,040 --> 00:38:10,680
Speaker 14: with Hasblah. These are thousands and thousands of missiles. They

681
00:38:10,719 --> 00:38:14,680
Speaker 14: are they have octagen fuel. These are systems that will

682
00:38:14,760 --> 00:38:18,520
Speaker 14: devastate the ammonium tanks in the Hypha Port, that will

683
00:38:18,560 --> 00:38:24,440
Speaker 14: basically destroy the Hypha Port and render Israel economically unviable

684
00:38:24,480 --> 00:38:26,799
Speaker 14: for a long period of time. And so I think

685
00:38:26,800 --> 00:38:29,040
Speaker 14: that's why the Israelis are now having to strike out.

686
00:38:30,080 --> 00:38:31,879
Speaker 2: Let me let me just say I thought I thought

687
00:38:31,920 --> 00:38:34,880
Speaker 2: the haswell of thousands and thousands of missiles was a

688
00:38:34,880 --> 00:38:36,759
Speaker 2: problem that had been taken care of. You're saying it

689
00:38:36,840 --> 00:38:37,840
Speaker 2: has not been taken care of it.

690
00:38:37,880 --> 00:38:39,600
Speaker 12: I don't believe it's been. I think it's been to

691
00:38:39,680 --> 00:38:40,320
Speaker 12: great again.

692
00:38:40,400 --> 00:38:43,040
Speaker 14: I think all of these claims by the United States

693
00:38:43,040 --> 00:38:47,040
Speaker 14: and Israel are not accurate. They are for public consumption,

694
00:38:47,160 --> 00:38:50,640
Speaker 14: it's for narrative shaping. It has been one misdirection in

695
00:38:50,680 --> 00:38:54,160
Speaker 14: LIE after another, which is needed sometimes for OPSEC. I agree,

696
00:38:54,440 --> 00:38:57,640
Speaker 14: but just as an analytical, independent point of view, I

697
00:38:57,760 --> 00:39:00,800
Speaker 14: do not believe for a second that the missile threat

698
00:39:00,800 --> 00:39:05,040
Speaker 14: has been negated either in Lebanon or in Iran. Nor,

699
00:39:05,080 --> 00:39:07,360
Speaker 14: by the way, do I believe they have fully degraded

700
00:39:07,360 --> 00:39:11,040
Speaker 14: Hamasa's capabilities in Gaza. And now you're seeing this kind

701
00:39:11,120 --> 00:39:15,200
Speaker 14: of pincer movement happening also be latching for the Hoothis.

702
00:39:15,280 --> 00:39:16,840
Speaker 12: The Houthis have been keeping.

703
00:39:16,560 --> 00:39:19,560
Speaker 14: Their powder dry because they are ready to deploy their

704
00:39:19,640 --> 00:39:20,920
Speaker 14: hypersonic weapons.

705
00:39:20,960 --> 00:39:25,080
Speaker 2: Talkting is why have they the Houties, which are always

706
00:39:25,080 --> 00:39:29,000
Speaker 2: an interesting crew, they have been noticeably silent in this

707
00:39:29,239 --> 00:39:32,400
Speaker 2: entire time. And these were brothers that were in the

708
00:39:32,440 --> 00:39:34,200
Speaker 2: fight with the United They were taking on the United

709
00:39:34,239 --> 00:39:36,920
Speaker 2: States Navy in the Red Sea right and actually got

710
00:39:36,920 --> 00:39:37,319
Speaker 2: to beat us.

711
00:39:37,560 --> 00:39:39,399
Speaker 14: I mean, let's let let let's get real. They beat

712
00:39:39,440 --> 00:39:41,919
Speaker 14: us with strategic level, They beat us, They pushed us out.

713
00:39:42,080 --> 00:39:45,600
Speaker 14: We haven't been back. In terms of the Houthis, the

714
00:39:45,960 --> 00:39:50,000
Speaker 14: Iranians are clearly engaged in a long term staggered strategy.

715
00:39:50,360 --> 00:39:52,840
Speaker 14: So they are not going to throw everything at once

716
00:39:53,120 --> 00:39:55,960
Speaker 14: at the enemy. They're going to do these sort of

717
00:39:56,040 --> 00:39:59,520
Speaker 14: bursts is to keep operational tempo, sort of like a

718
00:39:59,760 --> 00:40:03,120
Speaker 14: like a concerto a symphony, you have different parts operating

719
00:40:03,160 --> 00:40:05,880
Speaker 14: at different times, but it's actually all in sync, and

720
00:40:05,960 --> 00:40:08,439
Speaker 14: so I believe that the Hohothies are in reserve. They're

721
00:40:08,560 --> 00:40:12,360
Speaker 14: actively as basically a reserve force now and they're gonna

722
00:40:12,360 --> 00:40:15,319
Speaker 14: come online when we least expect them to. I think

723
00:40:15,360 --> 00:40:21,200
Speaker 14: it's very important to note that the Iranian military pointed

724
00:40:21,239 --> 00:40:24,879
Speaker 14: out that the Americans appear to have thrown everything at

725
00:40:24,920 --> 00:40:28,560
Speaker 14: the opening, which is our strategy. Usually we throw overwhelming

726
00:40:28,600 --> 00:40:31,239
Speaker 14: power at the opening of an engagement. That way we

727
00:40:31,360 --> 00:40:34,680
Speaker 14: break the enemy's will, shock and awe. But guess what,

728
00:40:35,040 --> 00:40:38,840
Speaker 14: it didn't work. The enemies will continues because these people

729
00:40:38,880 --> 00:40:42,680
Speaker 14: are fanatics and they want to die. So you know,

730
00:40:42,920 --> 00:40:45,080
Speaker 14: this is where we are and the strategy that Iran

731
00:40:45,160 --> 00:40:48,480
Speaker 14: is employing. These are Persians, these are not Arabs. They're

732
00:40:48,640 --> 00:40:49,240
Speaker 14: very smart.

733
00:40:50,320 --> 00:40:52,400
Speaker 2: Hang on one second, we're gonna take a short break.

734
00:40:52,800 --> 00:41:00,960
Speaker 2: Rahm on Brandon Weikert with us this morning room.

735
00:41:01,160 --> 00:41:03,359
Speaker 4: Here's your host, Stephen k Man.

736
00:41:07,640 --> 00:41:10,600
Speaker 2: Okay, we're juggling a lot of balls here on information

737
00:41:10,719 --> 00:41:14,520
Speaker 2: that you folks need today. A raheem major situation in

738
00:41:14,560 --> 00:41:18,359
Speaker 2: Texas in a lot of developments overnight. This is still

739
00:41:18,360 --> 00:41:21,960
Speaker 2: a moving fluid situation. I will call it he tell

740
00:41:22,000 --> 00:41:26,839
Speaker 2: us exactly where we are in the Senate runoff, and

741
00:41:26,880 --> 00:41:29,000
Speaker 2: particularly about Ken Paxton.

742
00:41:29,040 --> 00:41:34,000
Speaker 13: Sir, Yeah, absolutely, and you know, on no better day

743
00:41:34,080 --> 00:41:36,600
Speaker 13: to do it than on the one hundred and ninetieth

744
00:41:36,680 --> 00:41:42,080
Speaker 13: anniversary of the Alamo. I have been saying to people

745
00:41:42,080 --> 00:41:45,200
Speaker 13: in the last twenty four hours that it's almost like

746
00:41:45,280 --> 00:41:48,640
Speaker 13: President Trump has a bigger war in Texas as he

747
00:41:48,680 --> 00:41:49,600
Speaker 13: does in the Middle East.

748
00:41:49,640 --> 00:41:50,160
Speaker 12: Right now.

749
00:41:51,520 --> 00:41:54,840
Speaker 13: It's one of these things that is getting people not

750
00:41:55,040 --> 00:42:00,600
Speaker 13: just in Texas but all around the country absolutely invested,

751
00:42:00,800 --> 00:42:03,800
Speaker 13: and in some cases, I rate the fact that President

752
00:42:03,800 --> 00:42:08,680
Speaker 13: Trump might endorse and is indeed half expected to endorse,

753
00:42:09,360 --> 00:42:12,480
Speaker 13: one of his greatest detractors over the last decade.

754
00:42:12,160 --> 00:42:12,760
Speaker 12: John Corny.

755
00:42:13,239 --> 00:42:18,920
Speaker 13: Now, a significant development happened yesterday with Ken Paxton, who

756
00:42:19,040 --> 00:42:22,480
Speaker 13: you know, really does, to my mind, represent the most

757
00:42:22,760 --> 00:42:27,279
Speaker 13: loyal MAGA type of person that you could possibly get.

758
00:42:27,360 --> 00:42:29,960
Speaker 13: I mean, this guy has been in Trump's corner, not

759
00:42:30,080 --> 00:42:34,440
Speaker 13: just chit chat and happy talk for the last decade,

760
00:42:34,480 --> 00:42:36,239
Speaker 13: but actually on the front lines of this fight, on

761
00:42:36,280 --> 00:42:38,600
Speaker 13: the legal front lines of this fight, on the political

762
00:42:38,640 --> 00:42:42,080
Speaker 13: front lines of this fight. And he comes out and

763
00:42:42,120 --> 00:42:45,040
Speaker 13: he says, look, you know, I understand the President has

764
00:42:45,040 --> 00:42:47,560
Speaker 13: a hard decision to make. But I'm willing to stand

765
00:42:47,560 --> 00:42:52,960
Speaker 13: aside in this race if the Senate immediately passes the

766
00:42:53,000 --> 00:42:54,240
Speaker 13: Same America.

767
00:42:53,840 --> 00:42:57,160
Speaker 12: Act, which you know, effectively.

768
00:42:56,680 --> 00:43:03,759
Speaker 13: Is an invocation of a version of self political sacrifice

769
00:43:03,760 --> 00:43:05,360
Speaker 13: that somebody is willing to make for the country.

770
00:43:05,440 --> 00:43:07,240
Speaker 12: But it's also very clever.

771
00:43:07,320 --> 00:43:11,040
Speaker 13: It's also, as I said yesterday, kind of genius because

772
00:43:11,040 --> 00:43:14,360
Speaker 13: what it does is it turns the whole race into

773
00:43:14,400 --> 00:43:18,440
Speaker 13: a referendum on the Save America Act. We know that

774
00:43:18,600 --> 00:43:23,120
Speaker 13: John Thune and Cornyn and these guys do not have

775
00:43:23,160 --> 00:43:28,120
Speaker 13: the same fervor and passion about American elections their security

776
00:43:28,280 --> 00:43:30,040
Speaker 13: voter id that the.

777
00:43:29,920 --> 00:43:31,440
Speaker 12: President and his base have.

778
00:43:31,680 --> 00:43:36,279
Speaker 13: We know that they are reluctant to do anything about

779
00:43:36,280 --> 00:43:39,640
Speaker 13: the filibuster. We know that the Senate GOP doesn't have

780
00:43:39,680 --> 00:43:44,320
Speaker 13: the passion, the stamina to work with a talking filibuster

781
00:43:44,440 --> 00:43:47,239
Speaker 13: over this, and so Paxton is basically lobbing one up

782
00:43:47,280 --> 00:43:50,799
Speaker 13: in the air and saying, go on, hit that, and

783
00:43:50,880 --> 00:43:53,120
Speaker 13: they're not going to be able to. So what it

784
00:43:53,200 --> 00:43:55,560
Speaker 13: means is that he gets to stay in the race,

785
00:43:55,760 --> 00:43:59,000
Speaker 13: and the race is now a conscience race. It's a

786
00:43:59,080 --> 00:44:03,239
Speaker 13: race about whether or not you want your elections secured.

787
00:44:03,560 --> 00:44:06,359
Speaker 13: It's no longer about these two personalities.

788
00:44:06,400 --> 00:44:08,960
Speaker 12: And of course Cornin falls right into the trap.

789
00:44:09,800 --> 00:44:13,360
Speaker 13: Yesterday afternoon, and as soon as Paxton makes this announcement,

790
00:44:13,560 --> 00:44:19,160
Speaker 13: releases a six minute long cinematic attack ad on Ken

791
00:44:19,200 --> 00:44:22,640
Speaker 13: Paxton the man. Well, that's not what Texans, that's not

792
00:44:22,680 --> 00:44:26,280
Speaker 13: what Americans see this race as anymore. And all the while,

793
00:44:26,600 --> 00:44:29,680
Speaker 13: what Ken Paxton has done here is hand President Trump

794
00:44:29,880 --> 00:44:33,000
Speaker 13: more leverage because he's now able to go, Look, I've

795
00:44:33,040 --> 00:44:35,480
Speaker 13: got one guy who says he's willing to do something,

796
00:44:35,520 --> 00:44:38,640
Speaker 13: but you guys have to pass this bill. They're not

797
00:44:38,680 --> 00:44:40,640
Speaker 13: going to pass the bill. They're not even gonna try

798
00:44:40,640 --> 00:44:43,480
Speaker 13: and past the bill. They might lie and say they're

799
00:44:43,520 --> 00:44:46,239
Speaker 13: gonna knuckle down this weekend and you know, get their

800
00:44:46,280 --> 00:44:50,319
Speaker 13: heads into get it's not going to happen. And so

801
00:44:50,520 --> 00:44:52,640
Speaker 13: if I were the president right now, I'd be looking

802
00:44:52,640 --> 00:44:54,560
Speaker 13: at all of this and go right. Paxson's my guy,

803
00:44:54,600 --> 00:44:57,480
Speaker 13: he's always had my back. He's making this conciliatory offer,

804
00:44:58,080 --> 00:44:59,960
Speaker 13: and he's made this thing into a referendum on time

805
00:45:00,000 --> 00:45:00,560
Speaker 13: I think I.

806
00:45:00,560 --> 00:45:01,360
Speaker 12: Really want passed.

807
00:45:01,600 --> 00:45:04,120
Speaker 13: I'll tell you what I was gonna make the corner endorsement,

808
00:45:04,239 --> 00:45:06,959
Speaker 13: because you know, Chris Losovita and Susy Walls have asked

809
00:45:06,960 --> 00:45:09,560
Speaker 13: me to do so, and they're working for corn In.

810
00:45:10,120 --> 00:45:11,600
Speaker 13: But actually I must stay out of this race and

811
00:45:11,680 --> 00:45:12,960
Speaker 13: let Texans choose for themselves.

812
00:45:13,160 --> 00:45:14,719
Speaker 12: That I think is the best case scenario.

813
00:45:16,040 --> 00:45:19,960
Speaker 2: I think too that there's a It's not just the

814
00:45:20,080 --> 00:45:22,440
Speaker 2: cornn And you can see this in the scale and

815
00:45:22,480 --> 00:45:26,040
Speaker 2: the and the viciousness of the attack ads on on

816
00:45:26,040 --> 00:45:30,160
Speaker 2: on Ken Paxson, but the grassroots out here in the heart,

817
00:45:30,200 --> 00:45:35,080
Speaker 2: in the hardcore Trump bass. It's not simply that Cornyn

818
00:45:35,160 --> 00:45:37,239
Speaker 2: is a rhino. It's not simply that corner is a

819
00:45:37,320 --> 00:45:42,440
Speaker 2: manifestation of the of the Bush situation. It's not simply

820
00:45:42,480 --> 00:45:47,200
Speaker 2: that all of us standing together to take out the

821
00:45:47,560 --> 00:45:50,200
Speaker 2: Bush grandson a couple of years ago, the Ken Paxon.

822
00:45:50,239 --> 00:45:52,720
Speaker 2: Then he was the instrument to do that that really

823
00:45:53,200 --> 00:45:57,680
Speaker 2: shattered the Bush dynasty. Uh. It's not simply the fact

824
00:45:57,800 --> 00:46:00,399
Speaker 2: of how they tried to impeach him for that, and

825
00:46:00,400 --> 00:46:04,200
Speaker 2: how the whole idea for war Room Texas came on

826
00:46:04,239 --> 00:46:07,239
Speaker 2: our defense at Ken pax and that bogus impeachment of

827
00:46:07,280 --> 00:46:11,560
Speaker 2: which galvanized the country and the grassroots. It's not it's

828
00:46:11,600 --> 00:46:18,000
Speaker 2: not just Cornyn's complete blowoff of any of the mega policies. Okay,

829
00:46:18,080 --> 00:46:19,520
Speaker 2: now he's runner as a border guy and all that,

830
00:46:19,560 --> 00:46:23,319
Speaker 2: which is they're all lies. It's the fact that there

831
00:46:23,400 --> 00:46:27,640
Speaker 2: is a certain percentage of the magabase that will never

832
00:46:27,760 --> 00:46:32,200
Speaker 2: vote for John Cornan. And why because John Cornyn obviously

833
00:46:32,239 --> 00:46:35,080
Speaker 2: hates Trump and is hated on Trump after the stealing

834
00:46:35,120 --> 00:46:38,399
Speaker 2: of the twenty twenty election, the Jacksmith situation. These these

835
00:46:38,440 --> 00:46:43,080
Speaker 2: clips that are out there just just just infuriate people

836
00:46:43,640 --> 00:46:46,600
Speaker 2: that Cornyn and Cornyn untethered in a term where he

837
00:46:46,640 --> 00:46:49,520
Speaker 2: would never run again. You have no earthy idea what

838
00:46:49,560 --> 00:46:52,359
Speaker 2: this guy would do. It's his hate on Trump that

839
00:46:52,400 --> 00:46:56,160
Speaker 2: has Trump's most fervent followers saying, I will never pull

840
00:46:56,200 --> 00:46:58,720
Speaker 2: the trigger for that guy. I think he's the least

841
00:46:58,840 --> 00:47:03,800
Speaker 2: likely to actually beat t Rico, Ken Paxton, Mano Amano

842
00:47:04,560 --> 00:47:07,800
Speaker 2: will beat Turrica. I think you'll hold the seat. Uh,

843
00:47:07,840 --> 00:47:09,520
Speaker 2: we got a better minute, raheem your thoughts.

844
00:47:10,360 --> 00:47:12,160
Speaker 13: I completely agree with that, by the way, And there

845
00:47:12,200 --> 00:47:15,600
Speaker 13: is polling that shows that even if President Trump endorses

846
00:47:15,680 --> 00:47:19,600
Speaker 13: Cornyan in this in this runoff, that Paxton can still win.

847
00:47:19,640 --> 00:47:22,160
Speaker 13: And I sent that as an email out to our

848
00:47:22,200 --> 00:47:25,760
Speaker 13: subscribers at the National Pulse last night and said, listen,

849
00:47:25,800 --> 00:47:29,440
Speaker 13: if if I'm a betting man, I'd throw in for Paxton.

850
00:47:30,120 --> 00:47:32,480
Speaker 13: You know, I firstly I donate money to him, and

851
00:47:32,520 --> 00:47:33,560
Speaker 13: then I put some money on it.

852
00:47:33,960 --> 00:47:36,520
Speaker 2: Right, I think, I think, But I'm not talking about

853
00:47:36,760 --> 00:47:39,200
Speaker 2: I'm not even talking about then I'm not talking I know.

854
00:47:39,640 --> 00:47:42,359
Speaker 2: I'm saying in a general there's a there's a core

855
00:47:42,480 --> 00:47:47,120
Speaker 2: of President Trump's most fervent, die hard followers that just

856
00:47:47,160 --> 00:47:50,680
Speaker 2: will not vote for Cornan Raheem, National.

857
00:47:51,160 --> 00:47:54,200
Speaker 13: Santa Anna and Paxton's our Davy Crockett. But we can't

858
00:47:54,280 --> 00:47:56,160
Speaker 13: let this one die. We've got to win this one.

859
