1
00:00:00,840 --> 00:00:06,920
Speaker 1: Welcome in Monday edition. It is a major news breaking Monday.

2
00:00:07,040 --> 00:00:10,680
Speaker 1: We hope all of you had fantastic weekends. As we

3
00:00:10,800 --> 00:00:15,600
Speaker 1: predicted going into the weekend, major news coming from Iran,

4
00:00:15,840 --> 00:00:22,480
Speaker 1: where early early in the morning US time on Saturday morning,

5
00:00:22,920 --> 00:00:27,920
Speaker 1: we began to rain down a ton of missiles and

6
00:00:28,360 --> 00:00:33,599
Speaker 1: an attack on Iran alongside of Israel wiping out. According

7
00:00:33,640 --> 00:00:40,519
Speaker 1: to President Trump, forty nine top Iranian leaders, including Ayatola Kamani,

8
00:00:40,600 --> 00:00:41,480
Speaker 1: who had been in.

9
00:00:41,520 --> 00:00:43,200
Speaker 2: Charge for decades.

10
00:00:43,320 --> 00:00:48,199
Speaker 1: There that attack happening in the daylight hours in Iran

11
00:00:48,440 --> 00:00:55,360
Speaker 1: on Saturday, stunning much of the Iranian leadership. Maybe buck

12
00:00:55,440 --> 00:00:59,920
Speaker 1: they should have zoomed, but instead they all gathered directly

13
00:01:00,640 --> 00:01:04,120
Speaker 1: together in the daylight hours, and now many of them

14
00:01:04,240 --> 00:01:08,560
Speaker 1: are gone. President Trump is speaking as we are coming

15
00:01:08,680 --> 00:01:13,480
Speaker 1: on with you live from the White House, and I

16
00:01:13,480 --> 00:01:17,840
Speaker 1: think the primary question is who will rule Iran. We

17
00:01:17,880 --> 00:01:20,679
Speaker 1: will get into that quite a lot going forward. But

18
00:01:20,800 --> 00:01:23,880
Speaker 1: let me go ahead and hit you with the absolute

19
00:01:24,160 --> 00:01:28,319
Speaker 1: latest comments from President Trump just made in the last

20
00:01:28,400 --> 00:01:33,520
Speaker 1: few moments in the White House. These are cuts thirty one.

21
00:01:33,920 --> 00:01:38,240
Speaker 1: Let's start with this. This is cut thirty one, as

22
00:01:38,280 --> 00:01:43,200
Speaker 1: Trump has just updated the absolute latest moments knowledge from

23
00:01:43,319 --> 00:01:44,680
Speaker 1: Iran Cut thirty one.

24
00:01:45,480 --> 00:01:49,000
Speaker 3: Today, the United States military continues to carry out large

25
00:01:49,000 --> 00:01:53,480
Speaker 3: scale combat operations in Iran to eliminate the grave threats

26
00:01:53,560 --> 00:01:59,000
Speaker 3: posed to America by this terrible terrorist regime. Following our

27
00:01:59,400 --> 00:02:04,280
Speaker 3: obliteration of orend's nuclear program and Operation Midnight Hammer a

28
00:02:04,320 --> 00:02:07,360
Speaker 3: short while ago, we warned around not to make any

29
00:02:07,360 --> 00:02:10,880
Speaker 3: attempt to rebuild at a different location because they weren't

30
00:02:10,880 --> 00:02:15,120
Speaker 3: able to use the ones that we so powerfully blew up.

31
00:02:15,840 --> 00:02:18,799
Speaker 3: But they ignored those warnings and refused to cease their

32
00:02:18,840 --> 00:02:23,320
Speaker 3: pursuit of nuclear weapons. In addition, the regime's conventional ballistic

33
00:02:23,480 --> 00:02:27,440
Speaker 3: missile program was growing rapidly and dramatically, and this posed

34
00:02:27,480 --> 00:02:30,919
Speaker 3: a very clear, colossal threat to America and our forces

35
00:02:30,960 --> 00:02:35,200
Speaker 3: stationed overseas. The regime already had missiles capable of hitting

36
00:02:35,200 --> 00:02:39,040
Speaker 3: Europe and our bases, both local and overseas, and would

37
00:02:39,080 --> 00:02:42,359
Speaker 3: soon have had missiles capable of reaching.

38
00:02:42,160 --> 00:02:43,399
Speaker 4: Our beautiful America.

39
00:02:43,680 --> 00:02:46,600
Speaker 3: The purpose of this fast growing missile program was to

40
00:02:46,639 --> 00:02:51,200
Speaker 3: shield their nuclear weapon development and make it extraordinarily difficult

41
00:02:51,280 --> 00:02:54,320
Speaker 3: for anyone to stop them from making these highly forbidden

42
00:02:54,840 --> 00:02:57,080
Speaker 3: by US nuclear weapons.

43
00:02:57,880 --> 00:03:01,360
Speaker 1: Okay, we hit a couple more, then I'll bring you

44
00:03:01,480 --> 00:03:05,280
Speaker 1: in get your immediate reaction. CIA was very involved, according

45
00:03:05,320 --> 00:03:09,600
Speaker 1: to reports. Thirty two Trump lays out the military objectives

46
00:03:09,680 --> 00:03:11,880
Speaker 1: in Iran right now, our.

47
00:03:11,800 --> 00:03:12,919
Speaker 4: Objectives are clear.

48
00:03:13,000 --> 00:03:17,400
Speaker 3: First, we're destroying orends missile capabilities, and you see that

49
00:03:17,480 --> 00:03:20,840
Speaker 3: happening on an hourly basis, and their capacity to produce

50
00:03:21,560 --> 00:03:23,760
Speaker 3: brand new ones and pretty good ones they make.

51
00:03:24,160 --> 00:03:27,080
Speaker 4: Second, we're annihilating their navy.

52
00:03:27,080 --> 00:03:30,000
Speaker 3: We've knocked out already ten ships there at the bottom

53
00:03:30,040 --> 00:03:33,280
Speaker 3: of the c. Third, we're ensuring that the world's number

54
00:03:33,280 --> 00:03:37,480
Speaker 3: one sponsor of terra can never obtain a nuclear weapon.

55
00:03:37,640 --> 00:03:39,040
Speaker 4: Never going to have a nuclear weapon.

56
00:03:39,040 --> 00:03:40,920
Speaker 3: I said that from the beginning, they're never going to

57
00:03:40,960 --> 00:03:42,720
Speaker 3: have a nuclear weapon.

58
00:03:42,720 --> 00:03:44,240
Speaker 4: They were on the road to getting.

59
00:03:43,960 --> 00:03:49,720
Speaker 3: One legitimately through a deal that was signed foolishly by

60
00:03:50,400 --> 00:03:55,040
Speaker 3: our country. And finally, we're ensuring that the Iranian regime

61
00:03:55,120 --> 00:03:59,200
Speaker 3: cannot continue to arm fund and directorists.

62
00:03:59,160 --> 00:04:00,920
Speaker 4: Armies outside of their borders.

63
00:04:01,760 --> 00:04:03,800
Speaker 3: And we thought we had a deal, but then they

64
00:04:03,840 --> 00:04:06,600
Speaker 3: backed out, and they came back, and we thought we

65
00:04:06,640 --> 00:04:08,320
Speaker 3: had a deal, and they backed out. I said, you

66
00:04:08,360 --> 00:04:11,240
Speaker 3: can't deal with these people. Got to do it the right.

67
00:04:11,120 --> 00:04:12,760
Speaker 2: Way, okay.

68
00:04:12,800 --> 00:04:16,960
Speaker 1: And then last cut thirty three four lost lives from

69
00:04:17,160 --> 00:04:20,560
Speaker 1: US service members. Trump says, we grieve for them and

70
00:04:20,680 --> 00:04:24,720
Speaker 1: gives you a projected timeline of how long this mission

71
00:04:24,760 --> 00:04:25,240
Speaker 1: will take.

72
00:04:26,160 --> 00:04:29,839
Speaker 3: Today, we agreeve for the four heroic American service members

73
00:04:29,880 --> 00:04:32,440
Speaker 3: who have been killed in action, and send our love

74
00:04:33,160 --> 00:04:36,360
Speaker 3: and support to their families in their memory. We continue

75
00:04:36,400 --> 00:04:41,000
Speaker 3: this mission with ferocious, unyielding resolve to crush the threat

76
00:04:41,560 --> 00:04:45,479
Speaker 3: this terrorist regime poses to the American people, and a

77
00:04:45,600 --> 00:04:50,159
Speaker 3: threat indeed it is. We have the strongest and most powerful,

78
00:04:50,240 --> 00:04:55,040
Speaker 3: by far military in the world, and we will easily prevail.

79
00:04:56,080 --> 00:05:01,479
Speaker 3: We're already substantially ahead of our projections. But whatever the

80
00:05:01,520 --> 00:05:04,720
Speaker 3: time is, it's okay. Whatever it takes, we will always

81
00:05:05,200 --> 00:05:08,560
Speaker 3: and we have right from the beginning. We projected four

82
00:05:08,680 --> 00:05:13,080
Speaker 3: to five weeks, but we have capability to go far

83
00:05:13,160 --> 00:05:13,760
Speaker 3: longer than that.

84
00:05:13,960 --> 00:05:14,400
Speaker 4: We'll do it.

85
00:05:14,440 --> 00:05:18,159
Speaker 3: Whatever somebody said today, they said, oh, well, the President

86
00:05:18,200 --> 00:05:20,560
Speaker 3: wants to do it really quickly. After that, he'll get bored.

87
00:05:20,560 --> 00:05:23,320
Speaker 3: I don't get bored. There's nothing boring about this. Do

88
00:05:23,320 --> 00:05:25,640
Speaker 3: you agree with that, Pete? I don't think there's anything

89
00:05:25,720 --> 00:05:29,719
Speaker 3: mister General, there's nothing boring about it. Somebody actually said

90
00:05:29,880 --> 00:05:32,360
Speaker 3: from the media, I think he'll get bored after about

91
00:05:32,360 --> 00:05:32,960
Speaker 3: a week or two.

92
00:05:33,120 --> 00:05:35,359
Speaker 4: No, we don't get bored. I never get bored. I

93
00:05:35,400 --> 00:05:35,760
Speaker 4: got bored.

94
00:05:35,760 --> 00:05:37,840
Speaker 3: I wouldn't be standing here right now. I guarantee you

95
00:05:37,880 --> 00:05:40,119
Speaker 3: that to go through what I had to go through.

96
00:05:41,040 --> 00:05:45,280
Speaker 1: Okay, buck, big picture takeaways? Did anything surprise you? I

97
00:05:45,320 --> 00:05:47,720
Speaker 1: think the biggest question is who's going to end up

98
00:05:47,800 --> 00:05:51,920
Speaker 1: ruling ran right, That's the trillion dollar question at this point.

99
00:05:52,200 --> 00:05:56,560
Speaker 2: Well, the first thing is he finally did it. Remember

100
00:05:56,560 --> 00:06:02,360
Speaker 2: that scene in Jurassic Park he sees the dinosaurs Ian Malcolm,

101
00:06:02,400 --> 00:06:08,120
Speaker 2: the character who is played by Jeff Goldbloom, and he goes,

102
00:06:08,160 --> 00:06:10,760
Speaker 2: he did it. The crazy son of a son of

103
00:06:10,800 --> 00:06:14,400
Speaker 2: a gun did it. That's really the feeling that so

104
00:06:14,480 --> 00:06:17,480
Speaker 2: many of us who have been watching this Iran situation

105
00:06:17,960 --> 00:06:21,640
Speaker 2: for decades now felt like, and in the best possible way,

106
00:06:22,600 --> 00:06:30,360
Speaker 2: enough is enough. Trump knows enough about the negotiations with anyone.

107
00:06:30,960 --> 00:06:34,440
Speaker 2: He knows when he is being screwed around, and he

108
00:06:34,560 --> 00:06:38,680
Speaker 2: knew fundamentally the Iranians, the Iranian regime. I should say

109
00:06:38,720 --> 00:06:41,400
Speaker 2: it's very important to separate these things. America has no

110
00:06:41,440 --> 00:06:44,160
Speaker 2: hostility toward the Iranian people per se. In fact, we

111
00:06:44,200 --> 00:06:46,880
Speaker 2: want much better lives and freedom for all of them.

112
00:06:47,320 --> 00:06:54,800
Speaker 2: We despise the molocracy, which was essentially an Islamic faction

113
00:06:55,360 --> 00:06:58,360
Speaker 2: that took over this country and ruined it for fifty

114
00:06:58,360 --> 00:07:00,839
Speaker 2: some odd years. Okay, so we've had enough of that.

115
00:07:01,320 --> 00:07:05,280
Speaker 2: And Trump came in and said, all the deals the

116
00:07:05,560 --> 00:07:10,280
Speaker 2: fundamental reality that the Obama administration refused to see, refuse

117
00:07:10,400 --> 00:07:13,520
Speaker 2: to understand, which was, you can't make a deal with

118
00:07:13,600 --> 00:07:17,480
Speaker 2: these people. Sure, you can negotiate with some terrorists, you

119
00:07:17,520 --> 00:07:21,280
Speaker 2: can't negotiate with these terrorists. They were not going to

120
00:07:21,720 --> 00:07:25,320
Speaker 2: abide by a deal because they knew if they got

121
00:07:25,640 --> 00:07:30,240
Speaker 2: full nuclear capability, then their North Korea, then they get

122
00:07:30,280 --> 00:07:33,960
Speaker 2: to do whatever garbage they want and make the world

123
00:07:34,000 --> 00:07:36,680
Speaker 2: the worst place in whatever ways they want for the

124
00:07:36,840 --> 00:07:40,680
Speaker 2: foreseeable future, for generations to come, because no one is

125
00:07:40,720 --> 00:07:43,240
Speaker 2: going to take the risk of a major strike on

126
00:07:43,280 --> 00:07:47,200
Speaker 2: a country with crazies running it with nukes at their disposal.

127
00:07:48,000 --> 00:07:52,440
Speaker 2: This was the realization that Trump had, and he tried

128
00:07:52,480 --> 00:07:54,680
Speaker 2: and he tried, and he negotiated, and he wanted to

129
00:07:54,680 --> 00:07:57,760
Speaker 2: get a deal. And this is mister deal maker on

130
00:07:57,880 --> 00:08:03,080
Speaker 2: the global stage saying, guys, you gotta convince me that

131
00:08:03,120 --> 00:08:06,680
Speaker 2: you're serious about this one. And what he realized was

132
00:08:06,760 --> 00:08:09,560
Speaker 2: there was no deal to be had. And you know, Clay,

133
00:08:09,560 --> 00:08:11,480
Speaker 2: how many years has it taken for everyone to go

134
00:08:11,560 --> 00:08:14,119
Speaker 2: through this? Oh, we gotta figure out some they don't

135
00:08:14,160 --> 00:08:18,400
Speaker 2: want to make a deal, and now they can't. So

136
00:08:18,480 --> 00:08:21,240
Speaker 2: that's a good thing. Now it's all over for them.

137
00:08:21,320 --> 00:08:24,840
Speaker 2: Now they are with the seventy two virgins, if that's

138
00:08:24,840 --> 00:08:28,280
Speaker 2: a thing, and they's somewhere else, and we have the

139
00:08:28,360 --> 00:08:31,840
Speaker 2: hope of a better and more prosperous future for the

140
00:08:31,880 --> 00:08:34,640
Speaker 2: Iranian people. I mean, there were fireworks here in South

141
00:08:34,679 --> 00:08:36,880
Speaker 2: Beach and look, I get it. There's a large Jewish

142
00:08:36,880 --> 00:08:39,600
Speaker 2: community where I live. I live in a mostly Jewish

143
00:08:39,760 --> 00:08:45,160
Speaker 2: enclave of Miami Beach, and everybody around here was high

144
00:08:45,200 --> 00:08:48,199
Speaker 2: fiving and think it was things. It's fantastic. And there

145
00:08:48,200 --> 00:08:53,040
Speaker 2: were fireworks going off, Clay, and celebration of this strike.

146
00:08:53,840 --> 00:08:56,839
Speaker 2: And I have to say, so far, look at the

147
00:08:56,840 --> 00:08:58,600
Speaker 2: people that are involved, Look at the people in charge.

148
00:08:58,600 --> 00:09:00,640
Speaker 2: You've got Secretary of warhacks at you got Trump, you

149
00:09:00,679 --> 00:09:03,680
Speaker 2: got into Marco Rubio, a secretary of State. We're not

150
00:09:03,720 --> 00:09:06,679
Speaker 2: doing nation building. This is just we're going to pick

151
00:09:06,720 --> 00:09:12,560
Speaker 2: apart the tyranny and encourage better things to happen on

152
00:09:12,600 --> 00:09:14,640
Speaker 2: the ground there, and I think that if that is

153
00:09:14,679 --> 00:09:17,520
Speaker 2: the mission and they are able to pull this off, Clay,

154
00:09:17,559 --> 00:09:19,880
Speaker 2: you tweeted this, and I agree with you. Trump is

155
00:09:20,000 --> 00:09:23,440
Speaker 2: the most consequential president on track to be the most

156
00:09:23,800 --> 00:09:28,360
Speaker 2: consequential president certainly since now I said consequential not best

157
00:09:28,720 --> 00:09:32,520
Speaker 2: FDR and maybe going back even further, he may be

158
00:09:32,520 --> 00:09:35,440
Speaker 2: the most consequential president since Lincoln. That's really what we're

159
00:09:35,440 --> 00:09:37,960
Speaker 2: heading toward right now, my friends, That's the direction this

160
00:09:38,080 --> 00:09:39,720
Speaker 2: is going. If he pulls this all off.

161
00:09:40,600 --> 00:09:43,880
Speaker 1: Look, I tweeted, and I really do think it's been

162
00:09:44,000 --> 00:09:49,319
Speaker 1: under discussed. I think the assassination attempts that Trump survived,

163
00:09:49,679 --> 00:09:52,920
Speaker 1: I think they changed him in a profound way. And

164
00:09:53,280 --> 00:09:57,040
Speaker 1: I don't know what his second term would look like

165
00:09:57,320 --> 00:10:00,839
Speaker 1: if those assassination attempts hadn't occurred. I think you also

166
00:10:00,920 --> 00:10:04,000
Speaker 1: have to plug in the attempts to bankrupt him, the

167
00:10:04,040 --> 00:10:06,040
Speaker 1: attempts to put him in prison for the rest of

168
00:10:06,040 --> 00:10:10,520
Speaker 1: his life. I think Trump is operating in a fearless manner,

169
00:10:11,360 --> 00:10:15,080
Speaker 1: and he is deciding to do things that aren't designed

170
00:10:15,120 --> 00:10:17,920
Speaker 1: to be good for the next six months. They're designed

171
00:10:17,920 --> 00:10:21,319
Speaker 1: to be good for the next sixty years. And I mean,

172
00:10:21,360 --> 00:10:24,880
Speaker 1: I think you can look across everything he's doing, whether

173
00:10:24,960 --> 00:10:28,320
Speaker 1: it's the ballroom that he is building at the White House,

174
00:10:28,800 --> 00:10:31,800
Speaker 1: whether it is the ceremonial arch that he is putting

175
00:10:31,800 --> 00:10:35,360
Speaker 1: in at the White House. Heck, the Redone Kennedy Center

176
00:10:35,440 --> 00:10:40,800
Speaker 1: that they are rehabbing right now. Those are physical manifestations

177
00:10:40,880 --> 00:10:44,520
Speaker 1: in a small way of the larger global perspective that

178
00:10:44,559 --> 00:10:47,840
Speaker 1: he's embarked upon. I mean, getting rid of Maduro, getting

179
00:10:47,920 --> 00:10:53,280
Speaker 1: rid of the Ayatola, basically ending communism in Cuba in

180
00:10:53,360 --> 00:10:56,400
Speaker 1: many ways, which is not being talked about very much yet,

181
00:10:56,440 --> 00:11:01,280
Speaker 1: but that entire communist regime in Cuba. We are right

182
00:11:01,320 --> 00:11:06,240
Speaker 1: now living through a modern Berlin Wall coming down moment.

183
00:11:06,720 --> 00:11:11,920
Speaker 1: Now here are the challenges. As there are great attempts

184
00:11:12,200 --> 00:11:17,280
Speaker 1: at excellence, the reach can sometimes be unreachable, and that

185
00:11:17,559 --> 00:11:21,760
Speaker 1: is the danger I think that is incumbent right now

186
00:11:22,040 --> 00:11:25,040
Speaker 1: is he's trying to do great things. And for anyone

187
00:11:25,080 --> 00:11:28,720
Speaker 1: who tries to do great things, sometimes when you stretch

188
00:11:28,760 --> 00:11:32,640
Speaker 1: for greatness, there are flaws that emerge in that process.

189
00:11:33,120 --> 00:11:36,320
Speaker 1: And so I think it's fair to say it's too early.

190
00:11:37,000 --> 00:11:40,560
Speaker 1: But buck, if you look at the June attack in Iran,

191
00:11:41,120 --> 00:11:45,760
Speaker 1: the takeout of Maduro in Venezuela and the early first

192
00:11:45,800 --> 00:11:49,400
Speaker 1: couple of days opening moves that have gone on in Iran.

193
00:11:50,120 --> 00:11:54,560
Speaker 1: They have been basically flawlessly executed. Four lost lives. I

194
00:11:54,600 --> 00:11:57,720
Speaker 1: wish there were none. But if you had told people

195
00:11:57,760 --> 00:11:59,640
Speaker 1: that all those things were going to be happening and

196
00:11:59,679 --> 00:12:03,240
Speaker 1: the call to American life would be for service members,

197
00:12:03,559 --> 00:12:07,360
Speaker 1: I think everyone would have said that's impossible. Now I think, unfortunately,

198
00:12:07,400 --> 00:12:10,000
Speaker 1: the toll is going to grow. I think for everybody

199
00:12:10,080 --> 00:12:14,040
Speaker 1: out there, you need to be watching around you. We

200
00:12:14,240 --> 00:12:17,280
Speaker 1: just saw the shooting that happened in Austin, Texas. Innocent

201
00:12:17,320 --> 00:12:21,559
Speaker 1: people lost their lives. Crazy people are emboldened by the

202
00:12:22,440 --> 00:12:26,000
Speaker 1: resident has taken It appears like quite clearly a terror attack.

203
00:12:26,040 --> 00:12:28,200
Speaker 1: I don't think they've officially said it, but the guy

204
00:12:28,200 --> 00:12:28,400
Speaker 1: had a.

205
00:12:28,640 --> 00:12:30,520
Speaker 2: I'm saying it. I know more about this than the

206
00:12:30,559 --> 00:12:32,880
Speaker 2: Austin cops looking at it. It's a terrorist attack. Okay.

207
00:12:32,920 --> 00:12:35,520
Speaker 1: It feels like very clearly a terrorist attack to me,

208
00:12:36,320 --> 00:12:38,920
Speaker 1: and so again we'll open up phone lines. We'll react

209
00:12:38,960 --> 00:12:41,600
Speaker 1: to you guys. By the way, it's also the eve

210
00:12:41,720 --> 00:12:44,480
Speaker 1: of the primary in Texas in addition to that attack

211
00:12:44,559 --> 00:12:47,080
Speaker 1: that took place in Austin. So there are lots of

212
00:12:47,160 --> 00:12:50,680
Speaker 1: news stories out there, but Iran is by far the

213
00:12:50,720 --> 00:12:55,160
Speaker 1: biggest story. I'm I was gleeful. I'm not gonna lie

214
00:12:55,840 --> 00:12:58,920
Speaker 1: that we took this step because we've seen so many

215
00:12:58,960 --> 00:13:02,280
Speaker 1: half steps. We saw Obama give the Iranians billions of dollars.

216
00:13:02,280 --> 00:13:05,840
Speaker 1: To your point, Buck, we knew they weren't actually going

217
00:13:05,920 --> 00:13:09,480
Speaker 1: to be honest brokers, and so you're just kicking the

218
00:13:09,480 --> 00:13:12,480
Speaker 1: can down down the road if you continue to allow

219
00:13:12,559 --> 00:13:13,720
Speaker 1: this group to be in charge.

220
00:13:14,760 --> 00:13:17,720
Speaker 2: All that you had to know about this is the

221
00:13:17,760 --> 00:13:21,560
Speaker 2: people in charge thought. All we have to do is

222
00:13:21,559 --> 00:13:24,440
Speaker 2: get to the point of double crossing whoever makes a

223
00:13:24,480 --> 00:13:27,880
Speaker 2: deal with us, double cross in the international community, get

224
00:13:27,920 --> 00:13:32,120
Speaker 2: the full nuclear package going that we that we want,

225
00:13:32,440 --> 00:13:33,839
Speaker 2: and then what are they going to do about it?

226
00:13:35,080 --> 00:13:37,320
Speaker 2: That's the you know, they only had to screw us

227
00:13:37,360 --> 00:13:39,040
Speaker 2: over once, and then we have to deal with this

228
00:13:39,080 --> 00:13:43,160
Speaker 2: for forever, basically, wait for some internal collapse of a

229
00:13:43,200 --> 00:13:45,280
Speaker 2: regime that now has nukes. Look at how that's going

230
00:13:45,320 --> 00:13:47,400
Speaker 2: to North Korea. You've seen a lot of North Korean

231
00:13:47,400 --> 00:13:53,160
Speaker 2: opposition these days. Yeah, it was. Trump has has likely

232
00:13:53,240 --> 00:13:58,080
Speaker 2: saved us from decades more of you under said, these

233
00:13:58,120 --> 00:14:03,160
Speaker 2: are really bad people, These are really bad people in

234
00:14:03,320 --> 00:14:05,440
Speaker 2: Iran that he killed. And I know that sounds very

235
00:14:05,440 --> 00:14:08,079
Speaker 2: simplicity to people who think they know a lot about geopolitics.

236
00:14:08,360 --> 00:14:11,439
Speaker 2: I can speak the geopolitics think tank language and lingo

237
00:14:11,679 --> 00:14:15,960
Speaker 2: with the best of them. Fundamentally, these are evildoers who

238
00:14:16,040 --> 00:14:20,800
Speaker 2: had nothing but bad intentions toward their own people for

239
00:14:20,960 --> 00:14:23,040
Speaker 2: the rest of the world, and they've been doing it.

240
00:14:23,160 --> 00:14:25,560
Speaker 2: We let them get away with nonsense for decades. They

241
00:14:25,600 --> 00:14:27,360
Speaker 2: have the blood of Americans on their hands in a

242
00:14:27,400 --> 00:14:31,200
Speaker 2: whole bunch of different ways. And it's a tinpot, crappy

243
00:14:31,280 --> 00:14:33,840
Speaker 2: country right now. I mean the regime is, it's actually

244
00:14:33,840 --> 00:14:37,120
Speaker 2: a beautiful country. And you know, Iran in twenty years

245
00:14:37,160 --> 00:14:39,680
Speaker 2: could be amazing, the same way that Cuba in like

246
00:14:39,800 --> 00:14:41,640
Speaker 2: five years, if they got rid of the people in charge,

247
00:14:41,680 --> 00:14:45,400
Speaker 2: could be amazing. We don't have to live this way.

248
00:14:45,720 --> 00:14:47,840
Speaker 2: It's a little bit like the crime thing Clay. The

249
00:14:47,880 --> 00:14:51,040
Speaker 2: big revelation is it actually doesn't have to be like this.

250
00:14:51,840 --> 00:14:54,840
Speaker 2: And the big revelation from Trump is you can just

251
00:14:54,920 --> 00:14:57,560
Speaker 2: do stuff. You don't have to let the bad guys

252
00:14:57,640 --> 00:15:00,200
Speaker 2: just keep getting away with it. You can actually do

253
00:15:00,240 --> 00:15:02,760
Speaker 2: stuff when you're America. So we'll see. Is there a

254
00:15:02,840 --> 00:15:04,080
Speaker 2: risk yeah, of course there's risk.

255
00:15:05,000 --> 00:15:09,000
Speaker 1: Look, Israel US aligned in the execution of Operation Epic

256
00:15:09,080 --> 00:15:12,560
Speaker 1: Fury to assure a lasting peace in the Middle East,

257
00:15:12,600 --> 00:15:14,840
Speaker 1: and right now you're watching it. You probably saw Trey

258
00:15:14,920 --> 00:15:18,680
Speaker 1: Yankst over the weekend on Fox News. The missiles are

259
00:15:18,760 --> 00:15:21,680
Speaker 1: raining down on Israel and every time there is that

260
00:15:21,800 --> 00:15:26,280
Speaker 1: missile alert, Israelis have to run to bomb shelters all

261
00:15:26,320 --> 00:15:29,320
Speaker 1: over their country. And the International Fellowship of Christians and

262
00:15:29,400 --> 00:15:33,119
Speaker 1: Jews is on the ground helping to build bomb shelters,

263
00:15:33,160 --> 00:15:36,480
Speaker 1: helping to take care of people in need. That's what

264
00:15:36,520 --> 00:15:40,720
Speaker 1: they do. They focus on the most, the sick, the elderly, kids,

265
00:15:40,800 --> 00:15:44,120
Speaker 1: families in great need. And the Fellowship needs your help

266
00:15:44,200 --> 00:15:48,280
Speaker 1: right now to help ensure that people are safe in Israel.

267
00:15:48,600 --> 00:15:52,760
Speaker 1: To send support called eight eight eight four eight eight IFCJ.

268
00:15:53,000 --> 00:15:56,640
Speaker 1: That's eight eight eight four eight eight IFCJ. I have

269
00:15:56,720 --> 00:15:59,960
Speaker 1: seen the work that the IFCJ does on the grid.

270
00:16:00,560 --> 00:16:04,440
Speaker 1: It is life changing. Whether it's providing food, whether it's

271
00:16:04,480 --> 00:16:09,440
Speaker 1: providing shelter from bombs. They are doing the Lord's work there.

272
00:16:09,520 --> 00:16:14,480
Speaker 1: You can go online at IFCJ dot org. That's IFCJ

Speaker 1: dot org. One more time, IFCJ dot org.

274
00:16:19,440 --> 00:16:20,600
Speaker 2: You ain't imagining it.

275
00:16:21,600 --> 00:16:25,640
Speaker 5: The world has gone insane. We claim your sanity with

276
00:16:25,840 --> 00:16:29,440
Speaker 5: Clay and Bucking. Find them on the free iHeartRadio app

277
00:16:29,640 --> 00:16:31,640
Speaker 5: or wherever you get your podcasts.

278
00:16:31,920 --> 00:16:35,520
Speaker 2: Welcome back into Clay and Buck. War with Iran. It

279
00:16:35,600 --> 00:16:37,920
Speaker 2: is a reality right now. We have an aerial war

280
00:16:38,120 --> 00:16:43,720
Speaker 2: against the Iranian regime underway, A long time in coming,

281
00:16:44,320 --> 00:16:47,160
Speaker 2: but here it is. And Secretary of War heg Seth

282
00:16:47,840 --> 00:16:50,480
Speaker 2: has not been holding back at all. He is addressing

283
00:16:50,520 --> 00:16:53,840
Speaker 2: everybody on this. This is cut one. He's saying, Look,

284
00:16:53,880 --> 00:16:56,400
Speaker 2: we didn't even really start this. We could argue that,

285
00:16:56,440 --> 00:16:58,760
Speaker 2: but we didn't start this. But President Trump's gonna finish it.

286
00:16:58,840 --> 00:16:59,200
Speaker 2: Play one.

287
00:17:00,000 --> 00:17:03,600
Speaker 6: Didn't start this war, but under President Trump, we are

288
00:17:03,800 --> 00:17:08,080
Speaker 6: finishing it. Their war on Americans has become our retribution

289
00:17:08,680 --> 00:17:12,960
Speaker 6: against their Ayatola and his death cult. It took the

290
00:17:13,000 --> 00:17:16,720
Speaker 6: forty seventh president, a fighter who always puts America first,

291
00:17:17,200 --> 00:17:20,560
Speaker 6: to finally draw the line after forty seven years of

292
00:17:20,560 --> 00:17:24,120
Speaker 6: Iranian belligerents. He reminded the world, as he has time

293
00:17:24,160 --> 00:17:28,359
Speaker 6: and time again, being an American means something unbreakable. If

294
00:17:28,440 --> 00:17:32,320
Speaker 6: you kill Americans, if you threaten Americans anywhere on Earth,

295
00:17:32,359 --> 00:17:36,399
Speaker 6: we will hunt you down without apology and without hesitation,

296
00:17:36,840 --> 00:17:38,679
Speaker 6: and we will kill you.

297
00:17:40,880 --> 00:17:44,080
Speaker 2: I think that's a good rule. I think that the

298
00:17:44,119 --> 00:17:47,960
Speaker 2: American government should take the opinion that if you kill Americans,

299
00:17:48,320 --> 00:17:50,639
Speaker 2: if you pray on our people, we're going to get you.

300
00:17:52,359 --> 00:17:55,800
Speaker 2: Pretty straightforward. Pure Chalk is a wireless company that play

301
00:17:55,960 --> 00:17:59,119
Speaker 2: and my Play's family and my family rely on not

302
00:17:59,200 --> 00:18:01,480
Speaker 2: to buy a veteran with two goals affordability and keeping

303
00:18:01,560 --> 00:18:04,160
Speaker 2: jobs at home. On the cost saving side, Puretalk gives

304
00:18:04,200 --> 00:18:06,960
Speaker 2: you unlimited talk, text and plenty of data for just

305
00:18:07,240 --> 00:18:09,760
Speaker 2: twenty five bucks a month. Compare that to your current

306
00:18:09,760 --> 00:18:12,560
Speaker 2: monthly bill. Puretalk can offer this price point because they

307
00:18:12,600 --> 00:18:16,080
Speaker 2: don't have high overhead costs like stores or fancy marketing campaigns.

308
00:18:16,240 --> 00:18:18,959
Speaker 2: Here's a review from one of our listeners, James from Plymouth, Indiana.

309
00:18:19,040 --> 00:18:22,520
Speaker 2: He says Puretalk originally got my attention as a VET

310
00:18:22,520 --> 00:18:24,960
Speaker 2: for all the dedication to vets expressed by Clay and Buck.

311
00:18:25,200 --> 00:18:27,040
Speaker 2: Now I have an eight thirty six phone and even

Speaker 2: Travis Buck Sexston Show. Appreciate all of you hanging out

321
00:18:55,880 --> 00:18:58,800
Speaker 2: with us. Some of you, maybe many of you will.

322
00:18:58,560 --> 00:19:03,240
Speaker 1: Remember President Trump's spent a long time with Rush Limbaugh

323
00:19:03,359 --> 00:19:07,639
Speaker 1: right before the election. Was this in twenty twenty, Yes,

324
00:19:07,760 --> 00:19:11,919
Speaker 1: October ninth, twenty twenty, President Trump said.

325
00:19:12,359 --> 00:19:12,919
Speaker 2: Be careful.

326
00:19:12,960 --> 00:19:15,919
Speaker 1: We had to bleep out a curse word here, but

327
00:19:16,200 --> 00:19:19,119
Speaker 1: he said, if you f around with us, we'll do

328
00:19:19,280 --> 00:19:21,960
Speaker 1: things to you that have never been done before. He

329
00:19:22,040 --> 00:19:25,119
Speaker 1: spent two hours that day with Rush. Back in October

330
00:19:25,240 --> 00:19:29,679
Speaker 1: of twenty twenty. Here is what that sounded like. For

331
00:19:29,760 --> 00:19:33,359
Speaker 1: those of you who have forgotten or maybe had not

332
00:19:33,520 --> 00:19:36,960
Speaker 1: heard before October ninth, twenty twenty on the same network.

333
00:19:37,560 --> 00:19:39,400
Speaker 4: Never had it like we have it now.

334
00:19:39,920 --> 00:19:42,000
Speaker 7: And Iran knows that, and they've been put on notice.

335
00:19:42,000 --> 00:19:44,320
Speaker 3: If you're around with us, if you do something bad

336
00:19:44,400 --> 00:19:47,679
Speaker 3: to us, we are going to do things to you

337
00:19:47,760 --> 00:19:49,159
Speaker 3: that have never been done before.

338
00:19:50,680 --> 00:19:55,119
Speaker 1: Buck I mean, the interesting thing here is many of

339
00:19:55,200 --> 00:19:58,520
Speaker 1: us have grown so used to politicians saying I'm going

340
00:19:58,600 --> 00:20:01,080
Speaker 1: to do X or y, and then they get into

341
00:20:01,119 --> 00:20:04,160
Speaker 1: office and they never do x or Y. I think

342
00:20:04,160 --> 00:20:08,639
Speaker 1: if the twenty twenty four presidential campaign in particular, Trump

343
00:20:08,680 --> 00:20:12,560
Speaker 1: has done almost everything exactly as he said he would

344
00:20:12,600 --> 00:20:14,840
Speaker 1: do it. Now, some people don't agree with it, but

345
00:20:14,880 --> 00:20:17,800
Speaker 1: I'm not sure we have ever seen more of a

346
00:20:17,960 --> 00:20:21,400
Speaker 1: here is what I will do and a transactional presidency

347
00:20:21,800 --> 00:20:26,399
Speaker 1: than this one. You worked in the CIA for many years.

348
00:20:26,680 --> 00:20:29,960
Speaker 1: There are reports that the CIA was aware of where

349
00:20:30,080 --> 00:20:34,840
Speaker 1: the ayah Tola was and helped to get Israel that information,

350
00:20:34,880 --> 00:20:37,720
Speaker 1: which I'm sure they had good info two to allow

351
00:20:37,800 --> 00:20:41,359
Speaker 1: them to effectively decapitate this government. Trump has said forty

352
00:20:41,440 --> 00:20:45,520
Speaker 1: nine top Iranian leaders have been taken out already. Were

353
00:20:45,560 --> 00:20:48,359
Speaker 1: you as staggered as I was that, with all of

354
00:20:48,400 --> 00:20:52,679
Speaker 1: this firepower in close proximity to Iran, that Iran was

355
00:20:52,760 --> 00:20:56,280
Speaker 1: doing public message meetings like this in any way? I mean,

356
00:20:56,520 --> 00:21:00,800
Speaker 1: it seems that they just truly believed that Trump and

357
00:21:01,160 --> 00:21:05,320
Speaker 1: Israel did not have the wherewithal or willingness to actually

358
00:21:05,359 --> 00:21:08,439
Speaker 1: take out the Ayatolin. Nothing else makes sense here I

359
00:21:08,480 --> 00:21:12,280
Speaker 1: think this is a call their bluff situation. I think

360
00:21:12,359 --> 00:21:17,000
Speaker 1: they believed that we wouldn't take the risk and go

361
00:21:17,240 --> 00:21:20,880
Speaker 1: for a decapitation operation of their government, which is exactly

362
00:21:20,920 --> 00:21:23,119
Speaker 1: what Trump just pulled off here. And I put this

363
00:21:23,280 --> 00:21:25,480
Speaker 1: out on exclay and I just want to go through

364
00:21:25,480 --> 00:21:26,960
Speaker 1: this really quickly for everybody.

365
00:21:27,520 --> 00:21:30,560
Speaker 2: Let's think about this for a moment. Trump takes out

366
00:21:30,680 --> 00:21:36,400
Speaker 2: Cossam Solomani, the head of the of the IRGC Couods Force.

367
00:21:37,080 --> 00:21:39,320
Speaker 2: I remember being in Iraq, and I remember there were

368
00:21:39,359 --> 00:21:42,600
Speaker 2: conversations going on then at the highest level. We're talking

369
00:21:42,640 --> 00:21:45,760
Speaker 2: two thousand and six, two thousand and seven, Hey, we

370
00:21:45,840 --> 00:21:48,760
Speaker 2: got to do something about this guy. He's killing Americans.

371
00:21:49,160 --> 00:21:54,920
Speaker 2: Cossam SOLEMANI is setting up ambushes to have Americans killed,

372
00:21:54,960 --> 00:21:58,800
Speaker 2: these ordering them to use these EFPs, these explosively formed penetrators. Oh,

373
00:21:58,840 --> 00:22:01,800
Speaker 2: we can't do that, we can't do that. Trump takes

374
00:22:01,840 --> 00:22:05,479
Speaker 2: him out. What happens very little. Then we hear about

375
00:22:05,600 --> 00:22:09,560
Speaker 2: how you know after October seventh, Well, what's Israel going

376
00:22:09,600 --> 00:22:12,359
Speaker 2: to do? Israel pulls off the Pager operation, one of

377
00:22:12,400 --> 00:22:19,320
Speaker 2: the most incredible intelligence slash sabotage, direct action covert action

378
00:22:20,359 --> 00:22:26,120
Speaker 2: operations in history. An incredible operation the Israelis pulled off.

379
00:22:26,400 --> 00:22:29,840
Speaker 2: Then we have the strike on the Iranian nuclear facilities,

380
00:22:29,920 --> 00:22:32,600
Speaker 2: including the US bringing in the ultimate bunker buster to

381
00:22:32,600 --> 00:22:36,199
Speaker 2: finish it off. After the Israelis just smoke all the

382
00:22:36,240 --> 00:22:39,640
Speaker 2: Iranian surface to air missiles and defense, get through all

383
00:22:39,720 --> 00:22:43,400
Speaker 2: that stuff, everything they could have bought from Russia, from China,

384
00:22:43,640 --> 00:22:47,720
Speaker 2: did not a nothing. And then Trump shows up on

385
00:22:47,840 --> 00:22:50,840
Speaker 2: the most heavily guarded military base in Venezuela, sends in

386
00:22:50,920 --> 00:22:54,000
Speaker 2: Delta force, in delta force, without losing a single man,

387
00:22:55,080 --> 00:22:58,760
Speaker 2: captures Maduro, the dictator of Venezuela, and brings him to

388
00:22:58,800 --> 00:23:02,879
Speaker 2: a US prison. And now this, I mean, this is

389
00:23:02,920 --> 00:23:11,880
Speaker 2: a string of military operations US Israeli Israeli the likes

390
00:23:11,920 --> 00:23:15,480
Speaker 2: of which we've never seen before. And what you're seeing

391
00:23:16,560 --> 00:23:24,800
Speaker 2: is incredible precision, incredible success. While it also stays fully

392
00:23:24,800 --> 00:23:29,720
Speaker 2: within Trump's philosophy of if you do not come around,

393
00:23:29,880 --> 00:23:31,840
Speaker 2: if you do not negotiate, if you do not change

394
00:23:31,880 --> 00:23:34,159
Speaker 2: your behavior, America is not just going to suffer in

395
00:23:34,200 --> 00:23:39,440
Speaker 2: silence anymore, Clay. It's pulling off any one of these

396
00:23:39,480 --> 00:23:42,800
Speaker 2: things would be big. This is a president who is

397
00:23:42,880 --> 00:23:47,359
Speaker 2: saying the enemy can no longer rely on our fear

398
00:23:47,560 --> 00:23:51,400
Speaker 2: or apathy to keep them in power and to keep

399
00:23:51,440 --> 00:23:54,040
Speaker 2: them alive. Think of the message this sense you want

400
00:23:54,040 --> 00:23:56,159
Speaker 2: to talk to kind of Taiwan, You want to talk Russia,

401
00:23:56,200 --> 00:23:57,960
Speaker 2: you want to talk to any of these guys. They're

402
00:23:58,040 --> 00:24:01,000
Speaker 2: looking at this going Maybe our surface to air missile

403
00:24:01,040 --> 00:24:03,360
Speaker 2: systems and radars aren't as good as we thought they were.

404
00:24:04,000 --> 00:24:09,119
Speaker 1: It's pretty extraordinary across the board, and for it to

405
00:24:09,320 --> 00:24:14,440
Speaker 1: have been executed so flawlessly so far is pretty amazing.

406
00:24:14,680 --> 00:24:19,200
Speaker 1: Now there's a joke going around in Israel that the

407
00:24:19,240 --> 00:24:23,040
Speaker 1: only leadership left in Iran at this point is three

408
00:24:23,200 --> 00:24:27,000
Speaker 1: different MASAD agents, all of whom don't know about the

409
00:24:27,080 --> 00:24:31,840
Speaker 1: other Massad agents. In other words, clearly we, through Israel

410
00:24:31,880 --> 00:24:35,600
Speaker 1: and also through the United States, have incredible intelligence on

411
00:24:35,640 --> 00:24:40,840
Speaker 1: the ground giving us information about what is going taking

412
00:24:40,880 --> 00:24:44,679
Speaker 1: place there. I circle back around to the big picture question,

413
00:24:45,160 --> 00:24:49,359
Speaker 1: which is this who will rule? And I ask that

414
00:24:49,560 --> 00:24:52,840
Speaker 1: because I think it is by far the most significant question.

415
00:24:53,560 --> 00:24:56,960
Speaker 1: It seems clear that we knew, maybe because we had

416
00:24:57,000 --> 00:24:59,800
Speaker 1: already been talking with her, maybe because she was involved

417
00:24:59,840 --> 00:25:02,879
Speaker 1: in in part of the taking out of Maduro, that

418
00:25:03,040 --> 00:25:08,199
Speaker 1: Delse Rodriguez was someone that the Trump administration felt like

419
00:25:08,240 --> 00:25:11,000
Speaker 1: they could work with in Venezuela, and we now have

420
00:25:11,119 --> 00:25:15,199
Speaker 1: a partner in some sense that is executing according to

421
00:25:15,520 --> 00:25:18,280
Speaker 1: US wishes in Venezuela.

422
00:25:18,600 --> 00:25:20,760
Speaker 2: Is there that person in Iran?

423
00:25:21,320 --> 00:25:23,399
Speaker 1: Or? And this is where I want to open up

424
00:25:23,440 --> 00:25:25,359
Speaker 1: phone lines. They're xed out right now. I'm going to

425
00:25:25,400 --> 00:25:28,200
Speaker 1: open up and I'm going to ask let's only hear

426
00:25:28,359 --> 00:25:32,560
Speaker 1: from Iranian expats people in the United States. Remember we

427
00:25:32,560 --> 00:25:35,000
Speaker 1: did this once before, We asked you guys, what you

428
00:25:35,119 --> 00:25:40,880
Speaker 1: thought should happen. What are conversations from Americans in Iranians

429
00:25:41,080 --> 00:25:45,440
Speaker 1: who lay has a couple hundred thousand. I think Iranians

430
00:25:45,840 --> 00:25:49,199
Speaker 1: in West LA It's like everywhere you go around UCLA's campus,

431
00:25:49,240 --> 00:25:50,920
Speaker 1: it feels like everybody is Iranian.

432
00:25:52,040 --> 00:25:53,040
Speaker 2: And they had.

433
00:25:53,000 --> 00:25:59,440
Speaker 1: Incredible pro Trump marches in LA, in DC, in New

434
00:25:59,520 --> 00:26:04,679
Speaker 1: York City that I saw Miami, also Jewish and Iranian

435
00:26:05,520 --> 00:26:11,080
Speaker 1: people coming together and celebrating the fact that the ayah

436
00:26:11,160 --> 00:26:14,280
Speaker 1: Tola was gone. I would like to hear as we

437
00:26:14,320 --> 00:26:17,840
Speaker 1: open up phone lines only from Iranian people right now,

438
00:26:18,480 --> 00:26:21,720
Speaker 1: what are your conversations, like, what kind of access do

439
00:26:21,760 --> 00:26:23,400
Speaker 1: you have to people back in Iran?

440
00:26:23,560 --> 00:26:27,520
Speaker 2: What is the right decision? Because here's what's going to happen. Buck.

441
00:26:28,320 --> 00:26:29,600
Speaker 2: If this is.

442
00:26:29,640 --> 00:26:33,240
Speaker 1: Executed well and we end up with new leadership in

443
00:26:33,280 --> 00:26:36,800
Speaker 1: Iran that has made the Middle East way safer, this

444
00:26:36,960 --> 00:26:39,879
Speaker 1: is going to be an absolute home run for President Trump.

445
00:26:40,640 --> 00:26:43,480
Speaker 1: If it drags on and it turns into a mess,

446
00:26:44,080 --> 00:26:47,400
Speaker 1: then it's going to be a huge disaster. Right, this

447
00:26:47,440 --> 00:26:50,520
Speaker 1: is the reality, and lots of people are going to

448
00:26:50,600 --> 00:26:55,000
Speaker 1: withhold judgment until they see how it plays out, and

449
00:26:55,040 --> 00:26:59,040
Speaker 1: then they're going to jump on the bandwagon. Every Democrat

450
00:26:59,600 --> 00:27:01,960
Speaker 1: lined up and said this was an awful decision, with

451
00:27:02,040 --> 00:27:04,520
Speaker 1: the exception of John Fetterman, who said, hey, this is

452
00:27:04,520 --> 00:27:08,520
Speaker 1: a really good decision. This is risky for Democrats too,

453
00:27:08,560 --> 00:27:10,720
Speaker 1: because it's a little bit like being opposed to the

454
00:27:10,760 --> 00:27:14,760
Speaker 1: Berlin Walk coming down. And if it turns out well,

455
00:27:15,040 --> 00:27:16,960
Speaker 1: then they're going to have to scramble and act like

456
00:27:17,000 --> 00:27:20,400
Speaker 1: they were in favor of this all along. So what

457
00:27:20,560 --> 00:27:24,119
Speaker 1: is the reaction going to be? I think will be

458
00:27:24,160 --> 00:27:29,480
Speaker 1: a function of when we end up with some recognition

459
00:27:29,600 --> 00:27:31,400
Speaker 1: of who might be in charge. Does that make sense

460
00:27:31,440 --> 00:27:32,720
Speaker 1: to you? What do you think they're doing at the

461
00:27:32,760 --> 00:27:37,400
Speaker 1: CIA right now? For example, in the wake of this, Well,

462
00:27:37,440 --> 00:27:38,240
Speaker 1: the huge.

463
00:27:37,920 --> 00:27:43,879
Speaker 2: Thing is who is mobilizing to fill the security and

464
00:27:43,960 --> 00:27:48,080
Speaker 2: power vacuum, which is obviously very large right now because

465
00:27:48,080 --> 00:27:50,760
Speaker 2: they took out a whole bunch. They've got dozens of

466
00:27:50,800 --> 00:27:56,200
Speaker 2: top leaders in Iran. Who is going to fill that vacuum?

467
00:27:57,520 --> 00:28:00,560
Speaker 2: And I don't know. I mean, this is something that

468
00:28:02,080 --> 00:28:06,600
Speaker 2: obviously I don't know, but I think that if there's

469
00:28:06,840 --> 00:28:10,199
Speaker 2: some plan in place, that would be great news. But

470
00:28:10,280 --> 00:28:14,440
Speaker 2: this is often the hard part is figuring out that

471
00:28:14,440 --> 00:28:18,600
Speaker 2: that moment of transition, or those moments of transition. Because

472
00:28:19,480 --> 00:28:21,160
Speaker 2: and I understand this, people are saying, I don't want

473
00:28:21,240 --> 00:28:22,960
Speaker 2: us boots on the ground, I don't want America to

474
00:28:22,960 --> 00:28:25,560
Speaker 2: do a regime change work. Trump won't do it. But

475
00:28:25,680 --> 00:28:28,840
Speaker 2: understand that that means we may pull the pull out

476
00:28:29,160 --> 00:28:31,480
Speaker 2: all the stops here and knock out the leadership and

477
00:28:31,520 --> 00:28:34,520
Speaker 2: everything else, and things could get really ugly inside Iran,

478
00:28:35,359 --> 00:28:37,520
Speaker 2: and a lot of us are gonna say, Iranian's got

479
00:28:37,520 --> 00:28:41,520
Speaker 2: to figure this out. Sorry. That's where this is not

480
00:28:41,840 --> 00:28:44,680
Speaker 2: sending your son or your daughter. Trump's not going to

481
00:28:44,760 --> 00:28:46,800
Speaker 2: I truly believe you will not send your son your

482
00:28:46,880 --> 00:28:50,160
Speaker 2: daughter over there to fix it for them. We are

483
00:28:50,240 --> 00:28:53,240
Speaker 2: giving them the opening. It is up to the Iranian

484
00:28:53,240 --> 00:28:56,080
Speaker 2: people to take it and run with it. Will they

485
00:28:56,520 --> 00:28:58,200
Speaker 2: I don't know. I hope.

486
00:28:59,120 --> 00:29:03,560
Speaker 1: I think something you said is important here too. The

487
00:29:03,720 --> 00:29:09,720
Speaker 1: strategic arrogance and miscalculation from the Ayatola and top Iranian

488
00:29:09,800 --> 00:29:14,720
Speaker 1: leadership to just think we can have basically public meetings

489
00:29:14,800 --> 00:29:19,840
Speaker 1: in some way with all of these assets mobilized in

490
00:29:20,160 --> 00:29:23,280
Speaker 1: the Iranian area, and to think, hey, they're not going

491
00:29:23,320 --> 00:29:26,240
Speaker 1: to attack on Shabbat, They're not going to do this

492
00:29:26,400 --> 00:29:28,960
Speaker 1: on a Saturday in the middle of the afternoon. Think

493
00:29:29,000 --> 00:29:35,000
Speaker 1: about the degree of technological superiority you have to have

494
00:29:35,600 --> 00:29:38,320
Speaker 1: to be able to fly all of these jets in

495
00:29:38,520 --> 00:29:43,120
Speaker 1: during daylight hours from Israel. This was an Israeli initial

496
00:29:43,160 --> 00:29:48,960
Speaker 1: decapitating strike, and to have no casualties at all, and

497
00:29:49,080 --> 00:29:52,440
Speaker 1: Iran to have no ability to defend itself. And I

498
00:29:52,440 --> 00:29:54,680
Speaker 1: think one question we have to think about the boots

499
00:29:54,680 --> 00:29:57,440
Speaker 1: on the ground to angle is an interesting one. Buck

500
00:29:57,520 --> 00:30:02,520
Speaker 1: has the technology of drone and missiles and everything else

501
00:30:02,760 --> 00:30:06,560
Speaker 1: moved to the point where we can keep decapitating the

502
00:30:06,640 --> 00:30:10,760
Speaker 1: leaders of Iran's government without needing to have tons of

503
00:30:10,760 --> 00:30:13,480
Speaker 1: people on the ground. Remember when we went and got

504
00:30:13,520 --> 00:30:16,080
Speaker 1: Saddam back in the day, what a huge search it

505
00:30:16,320 --> 00:30:18,760
Speaker 1: was to try to track him down and figure out

506
00:30:18,800 --> 00:30:21,200
Speaker 1: where he was and drag him out of that little

507
00:30:21,240 --> 00:30:23,320
Speaker 1: hole in the ground where he was hiding. For those

508
00:30:23,360 --> 00:30:26,000
Speaker 1: of you who remember that, what if now we have

509
00:30:26,120 --> 00:30:31,040
Speaker 1: the technology such that the idea of mobilizing hundreds of

510
00:30:31,120 --> 00:30:35,480
Speaker 1: thousands of troops on the ground is not necessary, and

511
00:30:35,880 --> 00:30:40,920
Speaker 1: if due to basically there being no aerial opposition, now

512
00:30:41,360 --> 00:30:46,800
Speaker 1: we can, unhindered and unencumbered, continue to move throughout the

513
00:30:46,960 --> 00:30:50,360
Speaker 1: entirety of Iran. I do think you have to start

514
00:30:50,360 --> 00:30:53,680
Speaker 1: to ask yourself the question, our boots on the ground

515
00:30:53,760 --> 00:30:56,880
Speaker 1: far less significant than they ever have been before, and

516
00:30:57,040 --> 00:31:01,120
Speaker 1: can we get a result that we want without needing

517
00:31:01,200 --> 00:31:04,640
Speaker 1: to commit tons of American troops on the ground anyway,

518
00:31:04,720 --> 00:31:08,240
Speaker 1: Just something to think about as we continue to go forward.

519
00:31:08,440 --> 00:31:10,760
Speaker 1: Maybe some of you it's Monday, Maybe you're feeling a

520
00:31:10,760 --> 00:31:13,640
Speaker 1: little bit tired. Maybe you don't have the vim bigger

521
00:31:13,760 --> 00:31:16,280
Speaker 1: vitality that you used to. Maybe you woke up and

522
00:31:16,280 --> 00:31:20,000
Speaker 1: you thought, oh my goodness, I've got an entire week

523
00:31:20,440 --> 00:31:23,800
Speaker 1: of work and I didn't get recharged at all. Over

524
00:31:23,880 --> 00:31:26,080
Speaker 1: the weekend. I didn't get to sleep I expected. I

525
00:31:26,120 --> 00:31:29,960
Speaker 1: stayed up late watching all the news coverage surrounding Chalk.

526
00:31:30,040 --> 00:31:32,520
Speaker 1: Maybe you were out weather starting to get a little

527
00:31:32,520 --> 00:31:35,040
Speaker 1: bit better. Maybe you were out chasing the kids, grandkids

528
00:31:35,080 --> 00:31:38,160
Speaker 1: around for their soccer games, for their baseball games. As

529
00:31:38,200 --> 00:31:41,240
Speaker 1: baseball season gets closer, maybe you need a little bit

530
00:31:41,280 --> 00:31:44,640
Speaker 1: more testosterone in your life. That's what Chalk's Male Vitality

531
00:31:44,680 --> 00:31:48,640
Speaker 1: Stack is all about. They will help support your vitality energy,

532
00:31:48,720 --> 00:31:52,480
Speaker 1: healthy testosterone levels. Once men get to be forty years old,

533
00:31:52,480 --> 00:31:55,400
Speaker 1: testosterone levels start to decline, and that's one of the

534
00:31:55,440 --> 00:31:58,680
Speaker 1: primary reasons men start to feel more tired than they

535
00:31:58,680 --> 00:32:01,880
Speaker 1: were before forty. You can get hooked up right now

557
00:33:11,960 --> 00:33:16,720
Speaker 2: in Texas, Texas no offense to Texas a little overshadowed

558
00:33:16,720 --> 00:33:18,520
Speaker 2: by the war in Iran right right now that some

559
00:33:18,560 --> 00:33:20,880
Speaker 2: people are saying is world War three. But your primary

560
00:33:20,920 --> 00:33:23,960
Speaker 2: is still important, still important to us, and we are

561
00:33:24,000 --> 00:33:26,960
Speaker 2: going to talk to you about that. We've got some

562
00:33:27,680 --> 00:33:30,880
Speaker 2: podcast listeners here and others who want to weigh in

563
00:33:30,920 --> 00:33:35,000
Speaker 2: with talkbacks. Let's do uh. Jack in Tennessee wants to

564
00:33:35,040 --> 00:33:36,800
Speaker 2: bring bring some insight here. What's up?

565
00:33:36,880 --> 00:33:41,840
Speaker 7: Jack? Just in response to somebody said, I think it

566
00:33:41,960 --> 00:33:47,080
Speaker 7: will take boots on the ground, not necessarily boots in

567
00:33:47,760 --> 00:33:52,560
Speaker 7: over uniform, but I think to close this deal, you're

568
00:33:52,560 --> 00:33:58,120
Speaker 7: going to need Americans on the ground, and I suspect

569
00:33:58,240 --> 00:34:02,760
Speaker 7: that we've already got them there. But that's just played something,

570
00:34:03,120 --> 00:34:03,360
Speaker 7: all right.

571
00:34:03,520 --> 00:34:05,000
Speaker 2: I can I ask you that when you say boots

572
00:34:05,040 --> 00:34:09,560
Speaker 2: on the ground, do you mean some uh you know

573
00:34:09,800 --> 00:34:11,920
Speaker 2: a little bit of like a squadron or two of

574
00:34:12,360 --> 00:34:15,239
Speaker 2: super secret squirrel delta here, or they're doing some things

575
00:34:15,239 --> 00:34:17,160
Speaker 2: that we don't ever hear about. Or do you mean

576
00:34:18,239 --> 00:34:19,280
Speaker 2: eighty second airport?

577
00:34:19,360 --> 00:34:22,640
Speaker 7: You know? Do you mean like I would say that

578
00:34:23,120 --> 00:34:26,080
Speaker 7: the snike Eaters are the secret squirrel guys that you're

579
00:34:26,080 --> 00:34:27,799
Speaker 7: talking about. I think those are the guys that are

580
00:34:28,880 --> 00:34:32,759
Speaker 7: already there. And uh, I think, uh there's gonna be

581
00:34:32,800 --> 00:34:36,800
Speaker 7: some overt people wants to dost settles that are there

582
00:34:38,080 --> 00:34:40,640
Speaker 7: that are working kind of behind the scenes to stand

583
00:34:40,719 --> 00:34:43,319
Speaker 7: up government because I think if we don't, it's gonna

584
00:34:43,360 --> 00:34:46,160
Speaker 7: be a power Backum, just like to out all history.

585
00:34:46,760 --> 00:34:48,759
Speaker 2: What you're bringing up here, sir, is this is the

586
00:34:49,000 --> 00:34:51,520
Speaker 2: This is the multi trillion dollar question right now. Thank

587
00:34:51,560 --> 00:34:56,560
Speaker 2: you for calling in play. Are we are we gonna

588
00:34:56,560 --> 00:34:58,799
Speaker 2: have super secret squirrel guys doing what they do over there?

589
00:34:58,840 --> 00:35:01,000
Speaker 2: For sure? Of course, this is what they live for.

590
00:35:01,160 --> 00:35:04,640
Speaker 2: That's what they do. So boots on the ground. I

591
00:35:04,640 --> 00:35:07,520
Speaker 2: think people when they're worried about boots on the ground

592
00:35:07,600 --> 00:35:09,960
Speaker 2: because there's stuff happening in countries all over the world

593
00:35:10,040 --> 00:35:13,640
Speaker 2: that that Tier one guys field Team six Delta, we

594
00:35:13,680 --> 00:35:15,520
Speaker 2: don't hear about it, right, I mean there's stuff going on.

595
00:35:16,160 --> 00:35:20,160
Speaker 2: They mean big mill boots on the ground, that's the concern.

596
00:35:20,480 --> 00:35:25,239
Speaker 2: They mean setting up a Ford operating base that has

597
00:35:25,280 --> 00:35:29,799
Speaker 2: a McDonald's on it and a Starbucks and a you know,

598
00:35:30,840 --> 00:35:34,480
Speaker 2: a thousands of person troop presents and do it. You know,

599
00:35:34,560 --> 00:35:37,719
Speaker 2: that's where I think very deliverance, very different. That's where

600
00:35:37,719 --> 00:35:39,920
Speaker 2: people are concerned. I don't think Trump will do that.

601
00:35:40,880 --> 00:35:44,080
Speaker 1: Callers again, I appreciate that call, but I want Iranian
