1 00:00:00,040 --> 00:00:00,400 Speaker 1: And Brett. 2 00:00:00,440 --> 00:00:01,040 Speaker 2: Let me just start with you. 3 00:00:01,080 --> 00:00:02,560 Speaker 3: Actually, General, let me start with you because I want 4 00:00:02,560 --> 00:00:04,360 Speaker 3: to ask about the Kuwaiti oil tanker as we're still 5 00:00:04,360 --> 00:00:06,760 Speaker 3: getting new information that it is on fire off the 6 00:00:06,800 --> 00:00:08,280 Speaker 3: coast of Dubai in general. 7 00:00:08,280 --> 00:00:09,440 Speaker 4: How concerning is that. 8 00:00:11,200 --> 00:00:13,880 Speaker 5: Well, it's very concerning. It indicates that the air defense 9 00:00:13,920 --> 00:00:16,320 Speaker 5: systems that we have in the region aren't covering some 10 00:00:16,360 --> 00:00:19,639 Speaker 5: of the most critical assets we have. I haven't said 11 00:00:19,640 --> 00:00:22,160 Speaker 5: that this is about the thirteenth tanker that's been hit 12 00:00:22,239 --> 00:00:25,040 Speaker 5: since beginning of the war. Of the twenty two commercial 13 00:00:25,120 --> 00:00:31,120 Speaker 5: ships that have been hit since February twenty eight, we 14 00:00:31,160 --> 00:00:33,279 Speaker 5: should expect more of this. I don't think we can 15 00:00:33,320 --> 00:00:36,159 Speaker 5: defend all of them. It will certainly make it harder 16 00:00:36,200 --> 00:00:40,919 Speaker 5: for those ships to pass and get the insurance companies 17 00:00:40,960 --> 00:00:43,320 Speaker 5: to support them if they're constantly getting hit. 18 00:00:44,080 --> 00:00:45,120 Speaker 4: How unusual is this? 19 00:00:45,360 --> 00:00:47,680 Speaker 3: Have you been in negotiations not being sure if you're 20 00:00:47,680 --> 00:00:48,560 Speaker 3: talking to the right people. 21 00:00:50,280 --> 00:00:52,800 Speaker 6: I wish I could say it's totally unusual, but look, 22 00:00:52,800 --> 00:00:54,920 Speaker 6: in this circumstance, we don't only know who's in charge 23 00:00:55,080 --> 00:00:58,440 Speaker 6: in Tehran, so this is like completely unprecedent. I'm sure 24 00:00:58,440 --> 00:01:00,360 Speaker 6: our analysts who know are on so well, trying to 25 00:01:00,360 --> 00:01:04,319 Speaker 6: figure out what's happening. You know, John, think about even 26 00:01:04,360 --> 00:01:07,199 Speaker 6: when Supreme Leader Haminee, who was killed in the beginning 27 00:01:07,240 --> 00:01:10,000 Speaker 6: of this, was in charge, they still have a somewhat 28 00:01:10,000 --> 00:01:13,399 Speaker 6: of a collective decision making apparatus and on big decisions. 29 00:01:14,120 --> 00:01:16,319 Speaker 6: Very hard for one person to say this is how 30 00:01:16,319 --> 00:01:19,440 Speaker 6: it's going to be. And I suspect in Tehran right now, 31 00:01:19,840 --> 00:01:22,720 Speaker 6: you know, these messages going back and forth have caused 32 00:01:22,920 --> 00:01:27,440 Speaker 6: a debate. There's probably fractures and what the Trump administration 33 00:01:27,520 --> 00:01:29,200 Speaker 6: is asking Iran to do, and they have a set 34 00:01:29,240 --> 00:01:32,480 Speaker 6: of reasonable asks, particularly on the nuclear program. Give up 35 00:01:32,520 --> 00:01:34,919 Speaker 6: your enrichment program, which has been in demand for some time. 36 00:01:35,600 --> 00:01:38,039 Speaker 6: Iran has never agreed to do that. So if they 37 00:01:38,080 --> 00:01:40,919 Speaker 6: were John to come in with a new position and say, actually, 38 00:01:40,920 --> 00:01:43,000 Speaker 6: we're going to accept what the Americans are asking for. 39 00:01:43,319 --> 00:01:46,200 Speaker 6: We want to have a cease fire, sanctions relief, that's 40 00:01:46,200 --> 00:01:48,400 Speaker 6: going to be a huge decision in their system. And 41 00:01:48,480 --> 00:01:50,800 Speaker 6: I don't think anyone right now in Tehran is powerful 42 00:01:50,880 --> 00:01:53,480 Speaker 6: enough to really make that decision fast. I say one 43 00:01:53,480 --> 00:01:56,600 Speaker 6: more thing, negotiating with the Iranians, nothing is ever fast. 44 00:01:57,240 --> 00:02:00,640 Speaker 6: It takes time. They deliberate the you know, they have 45 00:02:00,840 --> 00:02:03,920 Speaker 6: this process they go through. They always demand one change 46 00:02:04,000 --> 00:02:07,120 Speaker 6: or another. And that's when they had a system that 47 00:02:07,160 --> 00:02:11,080 Speaker 6: you could somewhat predict, so even more confusing now, So yeah, 48 00:02:11,120 --> 00:02:13,359 Speaker 6: it's going to be hard to get a quick outcome here. 49 00:02:13,760 --> 00:02:18,920 Speaker 7: This new regime, because regime change has occurred, should be 50 00:02:19,320 --> 00:02:20,320 Speaker 7: wiser than the last. 51 00:02:21,760 --> 00:02:22,120 Speaker 2: President. 52 00:02:22,120 --> 00:02:25,080 Speaker 7: Trump will make a deal he is willing, and the 53 00:02:25,160 --> 00:02:28,080 Speaker 7: terms of the dealer known to them. If Iran is 54 00:02:28,120 --> 00:02:31,480 Speaker 7: not willing, then the United States War Department will continue 55 00:02:31,919 --> 00:02:34,079 Speaker 7: with even more intensity. 56 00:02:34,919 --> 00:02:38,520 Speaker 8: Now share an operational update, Our Joint Force continues to 57 00:02:38,560 --> 00:02:42,480 Speaker 8: focus on our military objectives as we systematically continue to 58 00:02:42,600 --> 00:02:46,880 Speaker 8: degrade and destroy Iran's ability to project power and threaten 59 00:02:47,360 --> 00:02:51,360 Speaker 8: stability beyond its borders. First, the Joint Force continues to 60 00:02:51,480 --> 00:02:56,960 Speaker 8: destroy Iran's ballistic missile and UAS capabilities. We remain focused 61 00:02:57,000 --> 00:03:01,200 Speaker 8: on interdicting and destroying the logistical and supply chains that 62 00:03:01,320 --> 00:03:05,359 Speaker 8: feed these programs, and this remains a truly joint effort 63 00:03:05,440 --> 00:03:09,640 Speaker 8: prosecuted around the clock from air, land, sea, space, and 64 00:03:09,720 --> 00:03:14,360 Speaker 8: cyberspace long range bombers from US Strategic Commander, coordinating with 65 00:03:14,440 --> 00:03:18,280 Speaker 8: tactical fighter aircraft from our Joint Force launched from bases 66 00:03:18,360 --> 00:03:22,760 Speaker 8: around the region and the continental United States, while simultaneously, 67 00:03:22,919 --> 00:03:26,919 Speaker 8: Navy fighters from the sea and sailors continue to project 68 00:03:26,919 --> 00:03:29,920 Speaker 8: power from the sea. Will Army and Marine artillery units 69 00:03:30,440 --> 00:03:34,360 Speaker 8: continue to execute long range precision fires deep into enemy 70 00:03:34,480 --> 00:03:39,040 Speaker 8: territory against high value targets. Meanwhile, on the defense side, 71 00:03:39,080 --> 00:03:42,320 Speaker 8: our army and air defenders and aviators, as the Secretary 72 00:03:42,360 --> 00:03:45,880 Speaker 8: talked about, remain vigilant, forming a shield to protect our 73 00:03:45,920 --> 00:03:50,560 Speaker 8: forces and our partners intercepting missiles and drones. Together, we 74 00:03:50,640 --> 00:03:55,800 Speaker 8: continue to deliver precision strikes against key manufacturing nodes, component 75 00:03:56,040 --> 00:04:01,120 Speaker 8: storage sites, research facilities deep within Iranian ti territory, and 76 00:04:01,200 --> 00:04:04,440 Speaker 8: over the past twenty nine i'm sorry thirty days, we've 77 00:04:04,480 --> 00:04:08,680 Speaker 8: struck more than eleven thousand targets. Given the increase in 78 00:04:08,760 --> 00:04:13,880 Speaker 8: air superiority, we've successfully started to conduct the first overland 79 00:04:13,960 --> 00:04:17,520 Speaker 8: B fifty two missions, which allow us, as we've said before, 80 00:04:17,640 --> 00:04:20,880 Speaker 8: to continue to get on top of the enemy, and 81 00:04:21,040 --> 00:04:25,159 Speaker 8: as the Secretary talked about, switched towards more and more 82 00:04:25,360 --> 00:04:32,600 Speaker 8: dynamic targets, servicing mobile targets around the battlespace. We've continued 83 00:04:32,640 --> 00:04:35,760 Speaker 8: to do the work against Iran's missile, drone and naval 84 00:04:35,800 --> 00:04:39,839 Speaker 8: production facilities, and we continue the multi domain pressure that 85 00:04:39,880 --> 00:04:43,600 Speaker 8: we've talked about. Second, on the navy front, we continue 86 00:04:43,640 --> 00:04:47,720 Speaker 8: to assert dominance over the Iranian Navy. We remain focused 87 00:04:47,760 --> 00:04:51,640 Speaker 8: on targeting their mind laying capability, their naval assets, and 88 00:04:51,680 --> 00:04:54,440 Speaker 8: we've now, as I mentioned briefly last time, started to 89 00:04:54,480 --> 00:04:58,520 Speaker 8: work attack helicopters and other close air support assets into 90 00:04:58,560 --> 00:05:03,360 Speaker 8: the naval domain. Santcom continues to identify and work against 91 00:05:03,480 --> 00:05:07,039 Speaker 8: naval depots and storage areas, and we've taken out again 92 00:05:07,160 --> 00:05:11,000 Speaker 8: more than one hundred and fifty ships, including all Jamaran 93 00:05:11,120 --> 00:05:15,479 Speaker 8: class frigates inside their navy. Third, we continue to prosecute 94 00:05:15,520 --> 00:05:19,560 Speaker 8: our campaign against our defense industrial base at scale. This 95 00:05:19,640 --> 00:05:24,880 Speaker 8: includes factories, warehouses, nuclear weapons, research and development labs, and 96 00:05:24,920 --> 00:05:29,760 Speaker 8: the associated infrastructure required for a RAN to reconstitute its 97 00:05:29,839 --> 00:05:31,120 Speaker 8: combat capability. 98 00:05:31,520 --> 00:05:35,440 Speaker 7: As far as President Trump and boots on the ground, 99 00:05:36,120 --> 00:05:38,560 Speaker 7: I don't understand why the base, which they have already 100 00:05:38,600 --> 00:05:41,680 Speaker 7: they understand, wouldn't have faith in his ability to execute 101 00:05:41,760 --> 00:05:44,919 Speaker 7: on this. Look at his track record of pursuing peace 102 00:05:44,920 --> 00:05:49,160 Speaker 7: through strength America. First outcomes what he's simply saying, and 103 00:05:49,440 --> 00:05:52,000 Speaker 7: he's exactly true. And I've said from this podium too. 104 00:05:52,160 --> 00:05:55,440 Speaker 7: We're not going to foreclose any option. You can't fight 105 00:05:55,480 --> 00:05:57,960 Speaker 7: and win a war if you tell your adversary what 106 00:05:58,000 --> 00:05:59,560 Speaker 7: you are willing to do or what you are not 107 00:05:59,640 --> 00:06:02,360 Speaker 7: willing to do, to include boots on the ground. The 108 00:06:02,560 --> 00:06:06,000 Speaker 7: end our adversary right now thinks there are fifteen different 109 00:06:06,000 --> 00:06:07,799 Speaker 7: ways we could come at them with boots on the ground, 110 00:06:07,880 --> 00:06:10,760 Speaker 7: and guess what there are. So if we needed to, 111 00:06:11,000 --> 00:06:13,719 Speaker 7: we could execute those options on behalf of the President 112 00:06:13,720 --> 00:06:16,320 Speaker 7: of the United States and this department. Or maybe we 113 00:06:16,360 --> 00:06:19,279 Speaker 7: don't have to use them at all, maybe negotiations work, 114 00:06:19,520 --> 00:06:21,719 Speaker 7: or maybe there's a different approach. But the point is 115 00:06:21,760 --> 00:06:24,719 Speaker 7: to be unpredictable in that certainly not let anybody know 116 00:06:24,760 --> 00:06:26,760 Speaker 7: what you're willing to do or not do. But if 117 00:06:26,800 --> 00:06:30,719 Speaker 7: anybody has internalized the lessons of Iraq and Afghanistan as 118 00:06:30,760 --> 00:06:32,760 Speaker 7: the first one President Trump to call them out for 119 00:06:32,800 --> 00:06:35,159 Speaker 7: what they are, he's not going to repeat those lessons, 120 00:06:35,240 --> 00:06:37,000 Speaker 7: and I think I've been very clear about that from 121 00:06:37,040 --> 00:06:37,560 Speaker 7: the podium. 122 00:06:37,640 --> 00:06:42,520 Speaker 3: But removing Iran's enriched uranium, so has the strait, which 123 00:06:42,640 --> 00:06:44,240 Speaker 3: was not initially. 124 00:06:43,760 --> 00:06:45,200 Speaker 1: One of the objectives of the war. 125 00:06:45,440 --> 00:06:47,400 Speaker 3: Do you feel that the Horne MoU Strait has become 126 00:06:47,440 --> 00:06:49,600 Speaker 3: the top military objective. 127 00:06:49,160 --> 00:06:52,480 Speaker 6: For the administration, John, is hard to see how this 128 00:06:52,640 --> 00:06:55,279 Speaker 6: ends if Iran is controlling the strait of her moves, 129 00:06:55,720 --> 00:06:57,919 Speaker 6: and to say that that's been a strategic gain for 130 00:06:58,200 --> 00:06:59,800 Speaker 6: the United States. I think it's good if we're taking 131 00:06:59,839 --> 00:07:01,960 Speaker 6: out their missiles, their drones, their air force, their navy, 132 00:07:02,000 --> 00:07:04,479 Speaker 6: their power projection. But the straight up for our moves 133 00:07:04,720 --> 00:07:07,920 Speaker 6: is the artery of the global economy, and here Iran 134 00:07:08,000 --> 00:07:11,120 Speaker 6: is demonstrating that it can basically control it. And if 135 00:07:11,120 --> 00:07:13,640 Speaker 6: you step back even further, John, and connect this to 136 00:07:14,240 --> 00:07:17,840 Speaker 6: Russia and Ukraine and these Shahi drones which you know 137 00:07:17,880 --> 00:07:20,320 Speaker 6: we dealt with against our forces for years. They can 138 00:07:20,360 --> 00:07:23,400 Speaker 6: travel about a thousand someone can travel longer than a 139 00:07:23,440 --> 00:07:27,640 Speaker 6: thousand miles. They're very hard to find. Iran has proliferated 140 00:07:27,640 --> 00:07:30,760 Speaker 6: the technology to Russia. That's how Russia's sustaining us. More 141 00:07:30,760 --> 00:07:33,760 Speaker 6: in Ukraine, the Huthis and Yemen shot these things at 142 00:07:33,800 --> 00:07:36,320 Speaker 6: tankers back in twenty twenty three, twenty twenty four shut 143 00:07:36,320 --> 00:07:40,840 Speaker 6: down the Red Sea. This is like a hybrid warfare terrorism, 144 00:07:40,920 --> 00:07:43,680 Speaker 6: and it is the future, and it's upon us. And 145 00:07:43,760 --> 00:07:46,720 Speaker 6: so that's what Iran is doing. And now that means 146 00:07:46,720 --> 00:07:48,679 Speaker 6: that it is a very good thing if we can actually, 147 00:07:49,080 --> 00:07:51,760 Speaker 6: you know, take a part Auran's defense industrial base, its 148 00:07:51,800 --> 00:07:55,400 Speaker 6: ability to produce these things, these drones, these missiles, but 149 00:07:55,520 --> 00:07:57,160 Speaker 6: they have a lot of them, they're using them, they're 150 00:07:57,160 --> 00:08:00,600 Speaker 6: proliferating them, and the tactics are very similar to Russia. 151 00:08:00,400 --> 00:08:01,280 Speaker 1: Is doing in Ukraine. 152 00:08:01,480 --> 00:08:04,200 Speaker 6: Just firing these things off at civilian targets and a 153 00:08:04,240 --> 00:08:09,000 Speaker 6: tanker is a definition of a civilian asset, it's not 154 00:08:09,080 --> 00:08:09,960 Speaker 6: a military asset. 155 00:08:10,200 --> 00:08:13,920 Speaker 9: We've had some signaling that the US will retake control 156 00:08:13,960 --> 00:08:16,520 Speaker 9: of the Strait of Horror moves at that point, what 157 00:08:16,640 --> 00:08:20,480 Speaker 9: military posture will be imposed to guarantee you save passage 158 00:08:20,560 --> 00:08:25,400 Speaker 9: for our allies, deter our enemies, and demonstrate US dominance 159 00:08:25,440 --> 00:08:28,400 Speaker 9: in the region. And also, can you speak to how 160 00:08:28,520 --> 00:08:33,360 Speaker 9: much Americas and adversaries of Russia, China, North Korea, how 161 00:08:33,440 --> 00:08:36,280 Speaker 9: much they're supporting Iran's war machine at this point with 162 00:08:36,480 --> 00:08:40,120 Speaker 9: arms and intelligence, and what we are militarily doing to 163 00:08:41,120 --> 00:08:42,920 Speaker 9: punish the enemy coalition. 164 00:08:43,120 --> 00:08:46,400 Speaker 7: Appreciate both questions. On the Strait of Hormos, there are 165 00:08:46,440 --> 00:08:49,400 Speaker 7: many more vessels flowing through today than their work as 166 00:08:49,440 --> 00:08:52,600 Speaker 7: the President has arranged. The President's been clear to Iran 167 00:08:52,840 --> 00:08:55,120 Speaker 7: open it for business or we have options, and we 168 00:08:55,160 --> 00:08:57,120 Speaker 7: certainly do. And when you look at what the Chairman 169 00:08:57,160 --> 00:08:59,040 Speaker 7: laid out with the Navy, with the Navy industrial base, 170 00:08:59,080 --> 00:09:03,559 Speaker 7: with coastal cruise miss with UAVs, with countermind capabilities, we've 171 00:09:03,559 --> 00:09:05,800 Speaker 7: been focused from the beginning on a tridding and defeating 172 00:09:06,040 --> 00:09:09,880 Speaker 7: those capabilities and limiting their options. There's lots we're doing 173 00:09:09,920 --> 00:09:12,160 Speaker 7: as well, some of which is known, some of which 174 00:09:12,200 --> 00:09:14,400 Speaker 7: is not known to set the conditions. And I think 175 00:09:14,440 --> 00:09:17,680 Speaker 7: the President was clear this morning, it is truth that 176 00:09:17,720 --> 00:09:20,960 Speaker 7: there are countries around the world who ought to be 177 00:09:21,040 --> 00:09:24,840 Speaker 7: prepared to step up on this critical waterway as well. 178 00:09:24,880 --> 00:09:27,920 Speaker 7: It's not just the United States Navy. Last time I checked, 179 00:09:27,960 --> 00:09:29,720 Speaker 7: there was supposed to be a big, bad Royal Navy 180 00:09:30,240 --> 00:09:32,520 Speaker 7: that could be prepared to do things like that as well. 181 00:09:32,559 --> 00:09:35,360 Speaker 7: So he's pointing out this is an international waterway that 182 00:09:35,360 --> 00:09:37,800 Speaker 7: we use less than most, in fact dramatically less than most. 183 00:09:38,320 --> 00:09:40,320 Speaker 7: So the world ought pay attention to be prepared to 184 00:09:40,320 --> 00:09:42,360 Speaker 7: stand up. President Trump's been willing to do the heavy 185 00:09:42,400 --> 00:09:44,640 Speaker 7: lifting on behalf of the free world to address this 186 00:09:44,720 --> 00:09:48,560 Speaker 7: threat of Iran. It's not just our problem set going forward. 187 00:09:48,559 --> 00:09:51,040 Speaker 7: Even though we have done the lion's share of preparation 188 00:09:51,480 --> 00:09:53,760 Speaker 7: to ensure that that straight will be open, which is 189 00:09:53,760 --> 00:09:56,920 Speaker 7: an outcome. The President's been very clear on as far 190 00:09:56,960 --> 00:09:58,760 Speaker 7: as Russia and China, we know exactly what they're doing, 191 00:09:59,520 --> 00:10:01,200 Speaker 7: what they are or are not doing. We don't have 192 00:10:01,240 --> 00:10:04,960 Speaker 7: to err publicly what all of that is. But where necessary, 193 00:10:05,000 --> 00:10:09,079 Speaker 7: we're addressing it, we're mitigating it, or we're confronting it 194 00:10:09,520 --> 00:10:09,840 Speaker 7: head on. 195 00:10:10,080 --> 00:10:13,160 Speaker 10: The trend is that they're doubling down in Iran, which 196 00:10:13,200 --> 00:10:15,680 Speaker 10: is unfortunate because if they start to deploy. 197 00:10:15,360 --> 00:10:16,920 Speaker 1: Troops, they put troops on. 198 00:10:16,880 --> 00:10:18,800 Speaker 10: Iranian soil, it's just going to get worse. And so 199 00:10:18,840 --> 00:10:20,920 Speaker 10: it seems as though they're digging more and more as 200 00:10:20,960 --> 00:10:23,839 Speaker 10: a way to justify and validate their initial decision to 201 00:10:23,880 --> 00:10:26,760 Speaker 10: go in there. And another trend I see, unfortunately is 202 00:10:26,760 --> 00:10:30,880 Speaker 10: with Israel. Israel they're going forward more and more. In Lebanon, 203 00:10:31,520 --> 00:10:33,640 Speaker 10: they passed the law today in the Knesset that they're 204 00:10:33,679 --> 00:10:37,920 Speaker 10: going to hang Palestinians, you know, who are found guilty 205 00:10:37,920 --> 00:10:40,840 Speaker 10: but they're not of murder. But they're not going to 206 00:10:40,880 --> 00:10:44,360 Speaker 10: hold israelis to that same requirement. 207 00:10:44,440 --> 00:10:46,920 Speaker 11: That question for you, and then a question for General Kine. 208 00:10:47,960 --> 00:10:50,600 Speaker 11: You said, we're a month in two the Operation Epic Pury, 209 00:10:51,000 --> 00:10:53,920 Speaker 11: how long until the objectives are achieved? And is their 210 00:10:54,000 --> 00:10:57,040 Speaker 11: scenario where a deal is struck before the objectives have 211 00:10:57,120 --> 00:11:01,000 Speaker 11: been achieved? And then for General Kane, there's been lots 212 00:11:01,040 --> 00:11:05,520 Speaker 11: of media coverage that suggest ground invasion is eminent. What 213 00:11:05,640 --> 00:11:08,240 Speaker 11: other purposes might the soldiers and the Marines who have 214 00:11:08,320 --> 00:11:12,040 Speaker 11: been deployed over to the Middle East serve in this conflict? 215 00:11:13,120 --> 00:11:16,960 Speaker 7: Well, just like the previous questions, sort of military one 216 00:11:17,000 --> 00:11:20,280 Speaker 7: on one, don't tell your enemy what you're willing to 217 00:11:20,320 --> 00:11:23,079 Speaker 7: do or not do, and don't tell your enemy when 218 00:11:23,080 --> 00:11:25,640 Speaker 7: you're willing to stop, especially an enemy that likes to 219 00:11:25,679 --> 00:11:28,000 Speaker 7: hiden bunkers and try to hoard their missiles and hope 220 00:11:28,000 --> 00:11:31,040 Speaker 7: you'll wait you out. So that's not a question I'm 221 00:11:31,040 --> 00:11:33,800 Speaker 7: going to answer or or the President has said definitively, 222 00:11:34,040 --> 00:11:36,240 Speaker 7: we have our own goals and guidance and things were 223 00:11:36,520 --> 00:11:38,840 Speaker 7: military objectives that we're moving toward and things that we 224 00:11:38,880 --> 00:11:42,160 Speaker 7: look at. And as he's articulated, you know, he said 225 00:11:42,360 --> 00:11:45,040 Speaker 7: four to six weeks, six to eight weeks, three, it 226 00:11:45,080 --> 00:11:48,560 Speaker 7: could be any particular number, but we would never reveal 227 00:11:48,600 --> 00:11:51,120 Speaker 7: precisely what it is because our goal is to finish 228 00:11:51,200 --> 00:11:54,240 Speaker 7: those objectives, and we're well on our way, and the 229 00:11:54,280 --> 00:11:56,240 Speaker 7: Chairman and I look at this every single day. It 230 00:11:56,280 --> 00:11:59,720 Speaker 7: will be the president's determination, and the president's determination alone, 231 00:12:00,520 --> 00:12:03,120 Speaker 7: when those objectives are complete, and when it serves the 232 00:12:03,120 --> 00:12:06,240 Speaker 7: interest of the American people to cut that deal, to 233 00:12:06,320 --> 00:12:09,760 Speaker 7: make sure that Iran doesn't have a nuclear capability, and 234 00:12:10,240 --> 00:12:13,679 Speaker 7: ultimately that our objectives are our interests are advanced. I 235 00:12:13,679 --> 00:12:15,120 Speaker 7: don't know if you'll want to any no. 236 00:12:15,280 --> 00:12:18,720 Speaker 8: Just to answer your question, Reagan, you know, the range 237 00:12:18,760 --> 00:12:23,160 Speaker 8: of military options that those forces can offer are extensive, 238 00:12:23,320 --> 00:12:26,320 Speaker 8: not just limited to what you mentioned in terms of 239 00:12:26,400 --> 00:12:28,440 Speaker 8: forces on the ground. And I wouldn't want to take 240 00:12:28,480 --> 00:12:32,480 Speaker 8: away the president's decision space. But there are a multitude 241 00:12:32,520 --> 00:12:35,600 Speaker 8: of things, not the least of which is Iran should 242 00:12:35,679 --> 00:12:38,880 Speaker 8: note that they're out there and that they are a 243 00:12:39,120 --> 00:12:43,280 Speaker 8: pressure point, and so they should carefully consider I think 244 00:12:43,320 --> 00:12:46,320 Speaker 8: at the diplomatic level, not my job as a chairman, 245 00:12:46,360 --> 00:12:49,000 Speaker 8: but at the diplomatic level, to consider what's in front 246 00:12:49,000 --> 00:12:49,280 Speaker 8: of them. 247 00:12:49,440 --> 00:12:53,480 Speaker 7: I did the same with his boss, a colonel with 248 00:12:53,559 --> 00:12:57,760 Speaker 7: a heart the size of Texas and a beautiful deployment 249 00:12:57,880 --> 00:13:04,760 Speaker 7: mustache to match. I witnessed lethality. I met a junior 250 00:13:04,760 --> 00:13:07,959 Speaker 7: airman as the sun was going down and a chill 251 00:13:08,040 --> 00:13:11,720 Speaker 7: was setting on the tarmac who when asked what they needed, 252 00:13:12,880 --> 00:13:16,040 Speaker 7: she simply looked up at me with a sly smile 253 00:13:16,120 --> 00:13:21,880 Speaker 7: on her face and said, more bombs, sir, and bigger bombs. 254 00:13:23,160 --> 00:13:25,400 Speaker 7: We will happily oblige her. 255 00:13:28,400 --> 00:13:30,840 Speaker 12: It's Tuesday, thirty one March, in the year of verl Over, 256 00:13:30,920 --> 00:13:33,439 Speaker 12: twenty twenty six.

So first off, John, tell us about 318 00:16:41,720 --> 00:16:43,560 Speaker 12: your journey on this, and then let's get to the 319 00:16:43,600 --> 00:16:44,480 Speaker 12: details of the case. 320 00:16:45,560 --> 00:16:49,320 Speaker 4: Well, it started, Steve in one of the nine to 321 00:16:49,360 --> 00:16:55,040 Speaker 4: eleven terrorism cases, Yasser Easim Homdi. He was captured in Afghanistan, 322 00:16:55,160 --> 00:16:58,040 Speaker 4: sent to Gitmo, and when they realized he'd been born 323 00:16:58,080 --> 00:17:01,160 Speaker 4: in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, they started treating him as a citizen. 324 00:17:01,760 --> 00:17:04,240 Speaker 4: And former Attorney General of the United States Ed Mees 325 00:17:04,320 --> 00:17:08,000 Speaker 4: and I filed a brief in that case. And whoa, whoa, whoa. 326 00:17:08,240 --> 00:17:10,880 Speaker 4: Just because he was born in Baton Reeves, Louisiana while 327 00:17:10,880 --> 00:17:15,879 Speaker 4: his parents, Saudi nationals, were here on a temporary work visa. 328 00:17:16,240 --> 00:17:18,280 Speaker 4: The dad was working on an oil rig off the 329 00:17:18,280 --> 00:17:21,920 Speaker 4: coast of Louisiana doesn't make him a citizen. The fourteenth 330 00:17:21,960 --> 00:17:25,359 Speaker 4: Amendment says, you've got to be born here, that's requirement one. 331 00:17:25,720 --> 00:17:28,720 Speaker 4: But you got to be subject to the jurisdiction here 332 00:17:28,840 --> 00:17:32,040 Speaker 4: as well, and reside in a state. That means temporary 333 00:17:32,119 --> 00:17:34,959 Speaker 4: visitors and certainly those who are here illegally are not 334 00:17:35,080 --> 00:17:39,159 Speaker 4: covered by the automatic citizenship of the citizenship clause, and 335 00:17:39,200 --> 00:17:41,760 Speaker 4: that was the way we understood it for about a century. 336 00:17:41,960 --> 00:17:45,400 Speaker 4: It kind of gradually, beginning in the nineteen fifties or sixties, 337 00:17:45,400 --> 00:17:49,040 Speaker 4: we moved away from that position. But Trump President Trump's 338 00:17:49,040 --> 00:17:52,439 Speaker 4: executive order restores the original meaning of the citizenship clause. 339 00:17:52,800 --> 00:17:55,359 Speaker 4: If you're here illegally, then you're not subject to the 340 00:17:55,400 --> 00:17:58,760 Speaker 4: complete jurisdiction. You're not part of our political community. If 341 00:17:58,760 --> 00:18:01,399 Speaker 4: you're here just temporarily, you're here by our grace, you 342 00:18:01,440 --> 00:18:03,520 Speaker 4: have not joined our political community. 343 00:18:03,560 --> 00:18:04,240 Speaker 1: You're a visitor. 344 00:18:05,119 --> 00:18:08,359 Speaker 4: And that's what the original meaning meant, and that's what 345 00:18:08,400 --> 00:18:11,840 Speaker 4: the original court decisions were. That's what the original leading 346 00:18:11,880 --> 00:18:15,040 Speaker 4: treatise writers of you know, in the eighteen seventies said. 347 00:18:15,080 --> 00:18:18,240 Speaker 4: That's what the secretaries of state said in the eighteen eighties. 348 00:18:18,880 --> 00:18:21,640 Speaker 4: So it's only more recently that we've adopted this more 349 00:18:21,720 --> 00:18:25,240 Speaker 4: radical view that anybody born here, no matter the circumstances, 350 00:18:25,480 --> 00:18:26,719 Speaker 4: or citizens. 351 00:18:28,960 --> 00:18:29,800 Speaker 2: Talk to me about that. 352 00:18:30,000 --> 00:18:32,159 Speaker 12: How did this start shifting in the fifties and sixties, 353 00:18:32,200 --> 00:18:35,440 Speaker 12: since it was already pretty established, Like what groups started 354 00:18:35,480 --> 00:18:38,240 Speaker 12: to say, oh no, and why did Republicans or why 355 00:18:38,359 --> 00:18:43,560 Speaker 12: particularly conservatives and conservative legal scholars, jurists, et cetera. 356 00:18:43,720 --> 00:18:46,280 Speaker 2: Congress, Why did they just continue to look the other way. 357 00:18:47,280 --> 00:18:50,640 Speaker 4: Well, you know, it started a bit under Franklin Roosevelt. 358 00:18:50,720 --> 00:18:54,320 Speaker 4: In the nineteen thirties, they the Office of Legal Council 359 00:18:54,359 --> 00:18:57,720 Speaker 4: produced a memo saying that anybody born here, no matter. 360 00:18:57,520 --> 00:18:58,520 Speaker 1: What, was a citizen. 361 00:18:59,200 --> 00:19:01,840 Speaker 4: But that memo ever got the force of law. When 362 00:19:01,840 --> 00:19:05,720 Speaker 4: Congress updated the Immigration Act in nineteen thirty eight again 363 00:19:05,760 --> 00:19:08,720 Speaker 4: in nineteen fifty two, it just mirrored the language of 364 00:19:08,720 --> 00:19:11,760 Speaker 4: the fourteenth Amendment. So they clearly intended not to go 365 00:19:11,800 --> 00:19:14,520 Speaker 4: any further than the fourteenth Amendment required them to go. 366 00:19:15,440 --> 00:19:18,960 Speaker 4: But beginning in the nineteenth I've traced it to a 367 00:19:19,080 --> 00:19:23,280 Speaker 4: change in the passport rules. In nineteen sixty six, after 368 00:19:23,320 --> 00:19:29,040 Speaker 4: a nineteen sixty five amendment to the passport requirements, somebody 369 00:19:29,080 --> 00:19:33,200 Speaker 4: had to add some language to the passport application form, 370 00:19:33,240 --> 00:19:35,600 Speaker 4: and it used to say if you were born here, 371 00:19:35,960 --> 00:19:38,800 Speaker 4: then they had several questions about the status of your parents. 372 00:19:39,200 --> 00:19:41,320 Speaker 4: And I think some bureaucrat looked at it and says, well, 373 00:19:41,359 --> 00:19:43,119 Speaker 4: I got to get this back down to one page, 374 00:19:43,119 --> 00:19:45,280 Speaker 4: and I don't know what relevance those questions have, so 375 00:19:45,320 --> 00:19:48,080 Speaker 4: they just dropped it. And so now it's just if 376 00:19:48,080 --> 00:19:50,920 Speaker 4: you're born here, you're treated as a citizen. That was 377 00:19:51,440 --> 00:19:55,359 Speaker 4: nineteen sixty six. So before that, look, people say that 378 00:19:55,480 --> 00:19:59,560 Speaker 4: Juan kim Ark, a very important case in eighteen ninety eight, 379 00:19:59,600 --> 00:20:03,479 Speaker 4: settled question. But Wan cam ARC's parents were permanently and 380 00:20:03,560 --> 00:20:07,320 Speaker 4: lawfully domiciled in this country, and the court goes out 381 00:20:07,400 --> 00:20:10,320 Speaker 4: of its way twenty eight different times it references the 382 00:20:10,320 --> 00:20:14,159 Speaker 4: fact that they're domiciled here, that they're legally and permanently here. 383 00:20:14,920 --> 00:20:18,280 Speaker 4: But there's broader language in it. Most scholars until Trump 384 00:20:18,320 --> 00:20:21,320 Speaker 4: came on the scene pressing this issue in twenty fifteen, 385 00:20:21,680 --> 00:20:24,200 Speaker 4: most scholars had agreed that the one came Arc decision 386 00:20:24,280 --> 00:20:27,439 Speaker 4: didn't settle the question or even addressed the question of 387 00:20:27,480 --> 00:20:31,040 Speaker 4: the children of illegal immigrants. But the Trump arrangement centrome, 388 00:20:31,320 --> 00:20:35,480 Speaker 4: my most legal scholars, is so strong that they started saying, oh, no, 389 00:20:35,560 --> 00:20:37,680 Speaker 4: this has been settled for over one hundred years, when 390 00:20:37,680 --> 00:20:38,320 Speaker 4: in fact. 391 00:20:38,119 --> 00:20:38,840 Speaker 1: It hasn't been. 392 00:20:41,560 --> 00:20:45,280 Speaker 12: No MSNBC and CNN every night. And you can tell 393 00:20:45,320 --> 00:20:48,000 Speaker 12: they're quite worried about this from the time you and 394 00:20:48,160 --> 00:20:52,440 Speaker 12: Edmese filed that walk me through what's happened, because even 395 00:20:52,440 --> 00:20:54,880 Speaker 12: in the political article they said, this is another Eastman 396 00:20:55,080 --> 00:20:56,800 Speaker 12: was a French, you know, he was the main guy 397 00:20:57,440 --> 00:21:01,120 Speaker 12: on this, on the big steal, but he always comes 398 00:21:01,200 --> 00:21:03,520 Speaker 12: up with these fringe theories. And this is Eastman at 399 00:21:03,520 --> 00:21:06,000 Speaker 12: his best on some French theory. What if you had 400 00:21:06,000 --> 00:21:09,440 Speaker 12: to go through from the time of Edmese until it's 401 00:21:09,520 --> 00:21:11,320 Speaker 12: argued tomorrow morning at the Supreme Court. 402 00:21:12,000 --> 00:21:14,840 Speaker 4: Well, I've debated, as the political article points out, have 403 00:21:14,880 --> 00:21:17,159 Speaker 4: debated the issue all over the country, law schools all 404 00:21:17,160 --> 00:21:21,960 Speaker 4: over the country, at judicial conferences, with some other prominent scholars, 405 00:21:22,040 --> 00:21:25,240 Speaker 4: and like I said, up until Trump came on the 406 00:21:25,280 --> 00:21:27,960 Speaker 4: scene and started pressing the issue, they all agreed with 407 00:21:28,040 --> 00:21:30,399 Speaker 4: me that one km ar didn't settle this issue, but 408 00:21:30,480 --> 00:21:34,960 Speaker 4: they disagreed with me that my views were right. Although look, 409 00:21:35,000 --> 00:21:37,160 Speaker 4: I'm not the only scholar or even the first scholar 410 00:21:37,800 --> 00:21:41,200 Speaker 4: started looking at this. A very important book by Yale 411 00:21:41,240 --> 00:21:44,760 Speaker 4: professors Rogers Smith and Peter Schuck in the late nineteen 412 00:21:44,800 --> 00:21:48,520 Speaker 4: eighties did a thorough assessment of the original debates and 413 00:21:48,560 --> 00:21:51,960 Speaker 4: came to the same conclusion that I did, very prompt 414 00:21:52,000 --> 00:21:55,280 Speaker 4: My colleagues at the Claremont Institute at Earler and Tom West, 415 00:21:55,680 --> 00:21:59,520 Speaker 4: very prominent Fourteenth Amendment scholars, have come to the same conclusion. 416 00:22:00,280 --> 00:22:04,680 Speaker 4: University of Texas Law Professor lino'grallia the late Lino Grallia 417 00:22:05,160 --> 00:22:08,760 Speaker 4: independently came to the same conclusion, and more recently, as 418 00:22:08,800 --> 00:22:11,760 Speaker 4: Trump's executive order has forced the issue to the front 419 00:22:12,040 --> 00:22:16,159 Speaker 4: of academic discussion, very prominent scholars like Richard Epstein at 420 00:22:16,280 --> 00:22:20,000 Speaker 4: University of Chicago and New York University have come to 421 00:22:20,040 --> 00:22:23,160 Speaker 4: the same conclusion. And in fact, in mind you, anybody 422 00:22:23,160 --> 00:22:26,720 Speaker 4: that takes seriously the original arguments that were had over 423 00:22:26,760 --> 00:22:29,520 Speaker 4: the development of the Fourteenth Amendment in eighteen sixty eight 424 00:22:29,680 --> 00:22:32,240 Speaker 4: will come to the same conclusion that the Supreme Court 425 00:22:32,280 --> 00:22:35,639 Speaker 4: did when it first confronted the issue, that leading scholars 426 00:22:35,640 --> 00:22:38,440 Speaker 4: of that day came to that the Secretary of State 427 00:22:38,520 --> 00:22:40,720 Speaker 4: came to look in the eighteen eighties, there were a 428 00:22:40,760 --> 00:22:44,439 Speaker 4: couple of kids born to German parents or Scottish parents 429 00:22:44,520 --> 00:22:47,000 Speaker 4: visiting here just to take this notion that this is 430 00:22:47,040 --> 00:22:50,120 Speaker 4: somehow a racist position off the table, and the Secretary 431 00:22:50,160 --> 00:22:52,520 Speaker 4: of State said, no, the parents were just temporarily here. 432 00:22:52,800 --> 00:22:56,159 Speaker 4: Their kids were not subject to the complete jurisdiction that 433 00:22:56,320 --> 00:22:59,239 Speaker 4: is required by the Fourteenth Amendment because they continue to 434 00:22:59,240 --> 00:23:03,440 Speaker 4: owe their allegiance to the foreign power their parents' nationality. 435 00:23:03,760 --> 00:23:06,720 Speaker 4: And that was the right answer. And so all Trump's 436 00:23:06,720 --> 00:23:09,560 Speaker 4: executive order does is bring us back to the original 437 00:23:09,640 --> 00:23:12,920 Speaker 4: understanding the fourteenth Amendment. People say, well, most scholars disagree 438 00:23:12,920 --> 00:23:15,720 Speaker 4: with Easemen. Well, that's true. Most scholars disagreed with me 439 00:23:15,840 --> 00:23:19,480 Speaker 4: on the view that the power over interstate commerce did 440 00:23:19,520 --> 00:23:23,000 Speaker 4: not extend to let the federal government regulate the entire economy, 441 00:23:23,000 --> 00:23:25,320 Speaker 4: and yet we won that issue in nineteen ninety five. 442 00:23:26,320 --> 00:23:26,639 Speaker 5: Or that. 443 00:23:28,119 --> 00:23:32,440 Speaker 4: The First Amendment doesn't prohibit states from giving school vouchers 444 00:23:32,440 --> 00:23:35,480 Speaker 4: to religious schools. Most scholars said, that's filly, it's a 445 00:23:35,560 --> 00:23:38,760 Speaker 4: violation of the Constitution, and we won that argument as well. 446 00:23:39,119 --> 00:23:41,120 Speaker 4: And right now I've got teed up an issue about 447 00:23:41,160 --> 00:23:44,359 Speaker 4: whether the spending clause let's Congress spend on whatever it wants, 448 00:23:44,760 --> 00:23:47,560 Speaker 4: or whether it's limited to the common defense and the 449 00:23:47,640 --> 00:23:52,119 Speaker 4: national the general welfare as the Constitution requires. Most scholars 450 00:23:52,240 --> 00:23:54,399 Speaker 4: disagree with me on that as well, but most of 451 00:23:54,440 --> 00:23:56,840 Speaker 4: them aren't originalists and they don't take seriously what the 452 00:23:56,880 --> 00:23:59,960 Speaker 4: Constitution originally meant as I do. And we tend to 453 00:24:00,119 --> 00:24:03,520 Speaker 4: win on these things when we present the originalist arguments 454 00:24:03,560 --> 00:24:06,800 Speaker 4: to a court that understands that the original understanding of 455 00:24:06,800 --> 00:24:10,199 Speaker 4: the Constitution is actually it's not a guidance, it's not 456 00:24:10,280 --> 00:24:13,440 Speaker 4: a suggestion, it's actually my mandatory honus. 457 00:24:15,520 --> 00:24:18,760 Speaker 12: Is it just serendipity that Peter Schweitzer's book, one of 458 00:24:18,840 --> 00:24:21,200 Speaker 12: the central parts of it, are talking about how immigration 459 00:24:21,240 --> 00:24:23,359 Speaker 12: has been used as a weapon against the United States. 460 00:24:23,640 --> 00:24:26,040 Speaker 12: One of the one of the most explosive things, was 461 00:24:26,040 --> 00:24:30,080 Speaker 12: this over a million Chinese that have been born here 462 00:24:30,119 --> 00:24:32,480 Speaker 12: for this birth tourism to actually live in China today 463 00:24:32,520 --> 00:24:36,959 Speaker 12: and potentially could vote. Also, these great journals like the 464 00:24:36,960 --> 00:24:40,080 Speaker 12: Federalists coming out and saying, if you don't have talking 465 00:24:40,119 --> 00:24:42,080 Speaker 12: about your argument and making the case of the Supreme 466 00:24:42,080 --> 00:24:45,320 Speaker 12: Court tomorrow, if you don't sort this out and you 467 00:24:45,359 --> 00:24:47,520 Speaker 12: don't get this right on the fourteenth Amendment, you're not 468 00:24:47,560 --> 00:24:50,960 Speaker 12: going to have a country. Is that help this makes 469 00:24:51,000 --> 00:24:53,119 Speaker 12: this such a big deal tomorrow at the Supreme Court? 470 00:24:54,359 --> 00:24:57,200 Speaker 4: I think it does, although it's not argued in that 471 00:24:58,240 --> 00:25:01,960 Speaker 4: in that way by either my for this Slicer Generals brief, 472 00:25:02,000 --> 00:25:04,960 Speaker 4: which by the way, Slicer General John Sower and his 473 00:25:05,080 --> 00:25:08,800 Speaker 4: team have done a fabulous job making the originalist case here. 474 00:25:09,119 --> 00:25:11,919 Speaker 4: But even beyond what Peter Schweitzer is published, and I 475 00:25:11,920 --> 00:25:14,879 Speaker 4: think it's very opportune that it's coming out is I 476 00:25:14,920 --> 00:25:17,680 Speaker 4: saw a report last week that of those one point 477 00:25:17,760 --> 00:25:21,320 Speaker 4: some million Chinese nationals that were born here and are 478 00:25:21,400 --> 00:25:24,959 Speaker 4: treated as citizens, two hundred thousand of them of military 479 00:25:25,000 --> 00:25:28,640 Speaker 4: age young men are back here in this country asserting 480 00:25:28,680 --> 00:25:32,080 Speaker 4: their citizenship. That's an army that, you know, our major 481 00:25:32,280 --> 00:25:34,880 Speaker 4: enemy on the world state has an army of young 482 00:25:35,000 --> 00:25:38,679 Speaker 4: military age men here claiming there are citizens because of 483 00:25:38,720 --> 00:25:44,520 Speaker 4: this ridiculous notion that we back into of birthright citizenship. 484 00:25:46,400 --> 00:25:47,879 Speaker 12: John, do we have it for a few minutes?

But thank god we got 539 00:28:33,400 --> 00:28:36,960 Speaker 12: a mass deportation coalition. They've put together an action plan 540 00:28:37,040 --> 00:28:41,120 Speaker 12: that's pretty amazing. So that's all tomorrow. Because I realized 541 00:28:41,160 --> 00:28:43,160 Speaker 12: sometimes in the war here in the last thirty days, 542 00:28:43,200 --> 00:28:45,320 Speaker 12: it's like that opening scene and Gone with the Wind 543 00:28:45,360 --> 00:28:49,400 Speaker 12: with scarlettor Herra. I think talking to the Tarlington Twins, 544 00:28:49,600 --> 00:28:53,240 Speaker 12: war war, War, all you boys talk about is a war. Well, 545 00:28:53,240 --> 00:28:54,600 Speaker 12: we're going to talk about a lot more than that 546 00:28:54,640 --> 00:28:57,040 Speaker 12: because we've got so many things to cover. But however, 547 00:28:57,960 --> 00:29:00,240 Speaker 12: first things first, Eric Bowling, we're going to talk war 548 00:29:00,320 --> 00:29:03,440 Speaker 12: and markets. So the President and I've got Harnwell and 549 00:29:03,520 --> 00:29:05,480 Speaker 12: Rome because I got to talk about this NATO situation 550 00:29:06,200 --> 00:29:10,000 Speaker 12: which is quite disturbing. Mccab's at the White House. He's 551 00:29:10,000 --> 00:29:13,800 Speaker 12: going to give us assessment of this press briefing today. 552 00:29:13,840 --> 00:29:16,920 Speaker 12: It was a light on specifics, but it had some 553 00:29:17,040 --> 00:29:21,080 Speaker 12: very important things about overall. But Eric, the President after 554 00:29:21,560 --> 00:29:23,520 Speaker 12: lighting up and he told guys, I said, hey, have 555 00:29:23,560 --> 00:29:26,840 Speaker 12: you started hitting oil. 556 00:29:26,520 --> 00:29:28,720 Speaker 2: Facilities of the Arabs? 557 00:29:29,360 --> 00:29:31,520 Speaker 12: I'm going to have a reply, And of course last 558 00:29:31,600 --> 00:29:36,600 Speaker 12: night they hit a tanker in Kuwait and lit it up. 559 00:29:37,480 --> 00:29:41,640 Speaker 12: The President's reply was quite stunning with I think two 560 00:29:41,680 --> 00:29:44,560 Speaker 12: thousand pound bombs and we played that in the cold open. 561 00:29:45,560 --> 00:29:48,960 Speaker 12: But he came back this morning and said, look, our 562 00:29:49,000 --> 00:29:52,120 Speaker 12: work's about done. We're hitting our objectives and the straight 563 00:29:52,120 --> 00:29:57,240 Speaker 12: ohoror moves, you know, Services Asia and Services Europe and 564 00:29:57,280 --> 00:29:59,480 Speaker 12: maybe it's time I tossed the keys to guys, because 565 00:29:59,520 --> 00:30:01,880 Speaker 12: we're just not going to hang around here forever. If 566 00:30:01,920 --> 00:30:05,240 Speaker 12: nobody's prepared to do any heavy lifting. And the Israeli 567 00:30:05,240 --> 00:30:06,800 Speaker 12: said they're not going to do boots on the ground. 568 00:30:06,840 --> 00:30:10,200 Speaker 12: They're tied up in Lebanon. The Arab nations have just 569 00:30:10,280 --> 00:30:13,000 Speaker 12: put out i think a communicat saying we need the 570 00:30:13,040 --> 00:30:16,400 Speaker 12: United States to take this to its ultimate collusion conclusion 571 00:30:16,600 --> 00:30:22,160 Speaker 12: against Iran, yet they're not prepared to commit militarily. Your 572 00:30:22,200 --> 00:30:25,160 Speaker 12: thoughts and particularly what the markets are telling us about 573 00:30:25,200 --> 00:30:26,920 Speaker 12: what has going on in the last twelve. 574 00:30:26,760 --> 00:30:31,320 Speaker 13: Hours, great assessment of bringing us up to speed. One 575 00:30:31,360 --> 00:30:35,280 Speaker 13: other thing in those last i'd say fifteen hours, maybe twelve. 576 00:30:35,440 --> 00:30:38,400 Speaker 13: Bahrain has declared a force measure, which we know is 577 00:30:39,400 --> 00:30:42,080 Speaker 13: really a trigger word for traders around the world. There's 578 00:30:42,120 --> 00:30:45,080 Speaker 13: a problem with supply and that drives prices up. Russia's 579 00:30:45,120 --> 00:30:49,000 Speaker 13: threatened a force measure for whatever reason, also driving prices up. 580 00:30:49,000 --> 00:30:52,480 Speaker 13: So what happened was yesterday Trump said open the straight 581 00:30:52,680 --> 00:30:53,760 Speaker 13: of horror moves. 582 00:30:53,720 --> 00:30:57,600 Speaker 12: And come to hang on seconds. I just want the audience, 583 00:30:57,800 --> 00:30:59,760 Speaker 12: I just want to understand. I want to hang on. 584 00:31:00,120 --> 00:31:02,920 Speaker 12: I want the audience to understand when you say force masure, 585 00:31:03,520 --> 00:31:06,280 Speaker 12: that is them telling the world that contracts we signed 586 00:31:06,320 --> 00:31:09,720 Speaker 12: at much lower prices, we're going to walk away from 587 00:31:09,720 --> 00:31:13,600 Speaker 12: those contracts because of active god, active war, active nature. 588 00:31:14,080 --> 00:31:17,120 Speaker 12: It's all defined under force maasure means we're tearing up 589 00:31:17,160 --> 00:31:19,640 Speaker 12: the contract and when we resigned the contract with you, 590 00:31:20,040 --> 00:31:23,080 Speaker 12: it'll be at these much higher prices for oil and gas. 591 00:31:23,160 --> 00:31:25,920 Speaker 12: Is that the force maasure is a weapon that can 592 00:31:25,960 --> 00:31:29,160 Speaker 12: be used, and here it's being used by our allies 593 00:31:29,200 --> 00:31:33,040 Speaker 12: and the golf who refuse to support us militarily want 594 00:31:33,080 --> 00:31:35,200 Speaker 12: our defense or whining about why we're not doing a 595 00:31:35,240 --> 00:31:38,360 Speaker 12: better job of defending them, they're now starting to tear 596 00:31:38,440 --> 00:31:42,600 Speaker 12: up these contracts to get higher prices. Is that the 597 00:31:42,680 --> 00:31:45,920 Speaker 12: take away the audience should have about the importance and 598 00:31:46,040 --> 00:31:48,640 Speaker 12: power of this concept of force maasure. 599 00:31:50,040 --> 00:31:51,000 Speaker 1: Exactly right, Stephen. 600 00:31:51,200 --> 00:31:53,360 Speaker 13: You know we brought this out before anyone declared a 601 00:31:53,400 --> 00:31:56,560 Speaker 13: force measure. That I said, we talked about blanklihood as 602 00:31:56,800 --> 00:31:59,320 Speaker 13: they would be declaring force maasure and whether they need 603 00:31:59,360 --> 00:32:02,200 Speaker 13: to or not. Because it's literally a paragraph in almost 604 00:32:02,200 --> 00:32:05,400 Speaker 13: every single business contract, whether it's oil or not. You 605 00:32:05,440 --> 00:32:07,440 Speaker 13: can see if we probably see a force masureing any 606 00:32:07,520 --> 00:32:09,760 Speaker 13: sort of other types of. 607 00:32:09,720 --> 00:32:10,760 Speaker 1: Deals, contracts as well. 608 00:32:11,080 --> 00:32:14,040 Speaker 13: You're right, it's active God, active nature, active war. 609 00:32:14,680 --> 00:32:15,680 Speaker 1: It basically covers it. 610 00:32:15,760 --> 00:32:18,600 Speaker 13: But so it gave these folks, these Arab countries, and 611 00:32:18,600 --> 00:32:21,680 Speaker 13: now Russia's joining the party to rip up the contracts 612 00:32:21,720 --> 00:32:24,080 Speaker 13: that they settle it. Who knows fifty sixty dollars a 613 00:32:24,080 --> 00:32:27,200 Speaker 13: barrel sixty five and reinstitute them. In the case of Brent, 614 00:32:27,280 --> 00:32:30,240 Speaker 13: which is now trading one hundred and eighteen dollars a 615 00:32:30,240 --> 00:32:33,840 Speaker 13: barrel today, up five dollars more, even on the heels 616 00:32:33,840 --> 00:32:36,719 Speaker 13: of what would some I'll tell you the equity markets, 617 00:32:36,720 --> 00:32:39,600 Speaker 13: a stock market thought what Trump said this morning was 618 00:32:39,680 --> 00:32:41,840 Speaker 13: a positive thing, relieving the pressure. 619 00:32:42,120 --> 00:32:43,080 Speaker 1: Stocks rallied up. 620 00:32:43,200 --> 00:32:45,800 Speaker 13: Oil market didn't come down because the oil folks have 621 00:32:46,640 --> 00:32:49,320 Speaker 13: probably been burned a couple of times because we hear 622 00:32:49,400 --> 00:32:52,680 Speaker 13: Trump say we're about to win this or they're obliterated, 623 00:32:52,880 --> 00:32:56,840 Speaker 13: and then Iran bombs more oil and infrastructure happened last 624 00:32:56,920 --> 00:33:00,480 Speaker 13: night again. So oil traders and not speculators, the actual 625 00:33:00,520 --> 00:33:03,240 Speaker 13: guys trading the aill the people I talked to, the refiners, 626 00:33:03,520 --> 00:33:07,680 Speaker 13: the petroleum transporters, the producers. They believe higher prices are 627 00:33:07,920 --> 00:33:11,840 Speaker 13: in the cards going forward. So they here's the mix 628 00:33:11,880 --> 00:33:14,840 Speaker 13: thing that you get yesterday. Trump says to ran open 629 00:33:14,880 --> 00:33:17,480 Speaker 13: the straight, get to the negotiating table, or you're done. 630 00:33:17,480 --> 00:33:19,160 Speaker 13: We're going to hit water plants, we're going to hit 631 00:33:19,360 --> 00:33:20,959 Speaker 13: power plants, and you're gonna be finished. 632 00:33:21,360 --> 00:33:24,280 Speaker 1: And then today we wake up a much softer tone. 633 00:33:24,320 --> 00:33:26,680 Speaker 13: I think this is very smart, he says, you know what, 634 00:33:26,760 --> 00:33:28,240 Speaker 13: our work is almost done here. 635 00:33:28,560 --> 00:33:31,000 Speaker 1: I'll tell you what, European Union your ball. 636 00:33:31,080 --> 00:33:33,400 Speaker 13: Now you're the ones at most risk, China, you're at 637 00:33:33,400 --> 00:33:36,200 Speaker 13: most risk for not getting this oil through the strait 638 00:33:36,560 --> 00:33:38,600 Speaker 13: you take over from here, especially since none of the 639 00:33:38,600 --> 00:33:40,920 Speaker 13: Arab countries want to join boots on the ground, which 640 00:33:40,960 --> 00:33:43,440 Speaker 13: is really the only way to truly get it done. 641 00:33:43,520 --> 00:33:45,840 Speaker 13: I think that was a positive to the point, Steve, 642 00:33:45,840 --> 00:33:46,600 Speaker 13: and I will tell you this. 643 00:33:46,640 --> 00:33:48,640 Speaker 1: I'll tell your audiences I've told them in the past. 644 00:33:48,960 --> 00:33:52,680 Speaker 13: I texted Pete Hexeth answers you Wilds this morning because 645 00:33:52,680 --> 00:33:55,120 Speaker 13: we had sent them that discussion we had about the 646 00:33:55,880 --> 00:33:58,120 Speaker 13: off ramp. If they were looking for an off ramp, 647 00:33:58,160 --> 00:34:01,400 Speaker 13: that all parties are made. And Trump looks like an 648 00:34:01,480 --> 00:34:05,680 Speaker 13: absolute hero businessman by cutting that oil deal with Iran 649 00:34:05,800 --> 00:34:08,759 Speaker 13: and Venezuela using our oil companies. I sent it to 650 00:34:08,840 --> 00:34:11,080 Speaker 13: both of them and said, hey, hey, don't forget we 651 00:34:11,160 --> 00:34:13,080 Speaker 13: sent you this a couple of weeks ago. This is 652 00:34:13,120 --> 00:34:16,200 Speaker 13: the perfect off ramp for all parties involved. No loss 653 00:34:16,200 --> 00:34:18,960 Speaker 13: of life, and Trump will be the guy who signs 654 00:34:19,000 --> 00:34:21,160 Speaker 13: a deal that gives us oil independence for the rest 655 00:34:21,200 --> 00:34:23,400 Speaker 13: of our lives. I mean, it's it's such a winner. 656 00:34:23,440 --> 00:34:26,560 Speaker 13: So I think him moving off, we're going to obliterate 657 00:34:26,600 --> 00:34:30,359 Speaker 13: you unless you relent to Hey, we did our job, 658 00:34:30,600 --> 00:34:34,439 Speaker 13: Europe Asia. It's on you, pick up, take take over 659 00:34:34,480 --> 00:34:38,160 Speaker 13: from here. Your ball, your turn, good. 660 00:34:38,120 --> 00:34:40,520 Speaker 12: Good, your your theory is that I think the I 661 00:34:40,520 --> 00:34:43,080 Speaker 12: think the President's kind of mention it. He says, hey, 662 00:34:43,680 --> 00:34:45,480 Speaker 12: why not just you know, we are the thing about 663 00:34:45,520 --> 00:34:48,839 Speaker 12: just seizing their oil, right, I mean, your your your 664 00:34:49,000 --> 00:34:54,160 Speaker 12: idea is a nicer way, a contractual way. 665 00:34:53,239 --> 00:34:53,759 Speaker 2: To do that. 666 00:34:53,880 --> 00:34:57,279 Speaker 12: But essentially it's this, it's it's it's you get to 667 00:34:57,320 --> 00:34:59,560 Speaker 12: the same place, don't you. 668 00:34:59,560 --> 00:35:02,000 Speaker 13: No, no, you don't, because remember, you want to do 669 00:35:02,000 --> 00:35:03,440 Speaker 13: a deal with the hostile government. 670 00:35:03,480 --> 00:35:06,120 Speaker 1: These people are fanatics. They'll they'll fight to the death. 671 00:35:06,160 --> 00:35:10,360 Speaker 13: They'll continue to do things, hit up, hit us interest 672 00:35:10,400 --> 00:35:13,160 Speaker 13: in the region, even at home. Maybe they sleep our cells. 673 00:35:13,320 --> 00:35:14,759 Speaker 13: What you do is you cut the deal with our 674 00:35:14,800 --> 00:35:18,000 Speaker 13: oil companies. The US oil companies go in negotiated deal 675 00:35:18,040 --> 00:35:20,680 Speaker 13: that they produce the extra barrels, We get the barrels 676 00:35:20,680 --> 00:35:24,680 Speaker 13: at fair market price, and they continue to live their fanatical, religious, 677 00:35:24,680 --> 00:35:28,000 Speaker 13: fanatical lives and we just step away and go, we 678 00:35:28,080 --> 00:35:30,440 Speaker 13: got a great deal. We got a wonderful deal for 679 00:35:30,880 --> 00:35:34,200 Speaker 13: our economy for the rest of you know, certainly tied 680 00:35:34,239 --> 00:35:36,319 Speaker 13: to oil for the rest of our lifetimes. 681 00:35:36,480 --> 00:35:37,320 Speaker 1: And Iran can. 682 00:35:37,239 --> 00:35:40,520 Speaker 13: Say we fought off the you know, the American, big 683 00:35:40,560 --> 00:35:44,000 Speaker 13: American beast, and they cut a deal with us. 684 00:35:44,040 --> 00:35:47,160 Speaker 1: So that's the best negotiation, Steve. You know this, the best. 685 00:35:46,880 --> 00:35:51,279 Speaker 13: Negotiation anywhere is when both sides feel like they didn't 686 00:35:51,280 --> 00:35:53,560 Speaker 13: get everything they want, but they go they walk away 687 00:35:53,600 --> 00:35:55,400 Speaker 13: with a lot of what they wanted, and this is 688 00:35:55,440 --> 00:35:56,600 Speaker 13: the off ramp for it. 689 00:35:57,040 --> 00:35:59,760 Speaker 1: Hopefully it gets to that point. 690 00:36:00,040 --> 00:36:02,040 Speaker 13: Yeah, our oil companies have to be at the center 691 00:36:02,080 --> 00:36:04,200 Speaker 13: of that so that we ensure the fact that we're 692 00:36:04,200 --> 00:36:05,320 Speaker 13: getting that oil first. 693 00:36:05,440 --> 00:36:06,800 Speaker 1: We want it great, we don't. 694 00:36:06,600 --> 00:36:09,400 Speaker 13: Want to throw it on the international market. 695 00:36:11,360 --> 00:36:15,719 Speaker 12: Is any of this practical because one of the let's 696 00:36:15,760 --> 00:36:19,239 Speaker 12: just say inconsistencies is that we're saying that we're degrading 697 00:36:19,280 --> 00:36:21,839 Speaker 12: these One of the objectives is to degrade so there's 698 00:36:21,880 --> 00:36:25,680 Speaker 12: no force projection or power projection against Israel, against the 699 00:36:25,680 --> 00:36:29,759 Speaker 12: Gulf Emirates what they call regionally, and that hasn't been 700 00:36:29,760 --> 00:36:33,239 Speaker 12: one hundred percent done yet. But they're deflanging, declining, but 701 00:36:33,440 --> 00:36:35,319 Speaker 12: on the straight of her moves. If they in an 702 00:36:35,320 --> 00:36:39,879 Speaker 12: asymmetric warfare essentially have command by negation. Let's say they 703 00:36:39,880 --> 00:36:42,160 Speaker 12: don't have maybe total control, but they can command to 704 00:36:42,480 --> 00:36:43,640 Speaker 12: not allow. 705 00:36:44,160 --> 00:36:44,359 Speaker 5: Uh. 706 00:36:44,400 --> 00:36:46,960 Speaker 12: They may enforce their will on everything, but they at 707 00:36:47,040 --> 00:36:49,439 Speaker 12: least stop the ships from going in. And they still 708 00:36:49,440 --> 00:36:52,520 Speaker 12: as you saw last night with the Kuwaiti tanker, every 709 00:36:52,560 --> 00:36:55,440 Speaker 12: now and again, even a scattershot approach, they can light 710 00:36:55,480 --> 00:36:59,640 Speaker 12: one up. Is it reasonable to just tell the allies, hey, 711 00:37:00,280 --> 00:37:03,560 Speaker 12: it's you're a baby, and you and the Arabs figured 712 00:37:03,600 --> 00:37:06,960 Speaker 12: out when it hasn't been. It looks like with the 713 00:37:07,000 --> 00:37:12,440 Speaker 12: scatter guns still able to hit in, probably more you know, mines, speedboats, 714 00:37:12,440 --> 00:37:15,239 Speaker 12: et cetera, still out there, that to toss it to 715 00:37:15,320 --> 00:37:18,840 Speaker 12: either the oil companies and your your theory the case, 716 00:37:19,320 --> 00:37:22,839 Speaker 12: and or the Arab and European allies to actually go 717 00:37:22,920 --> 00:37:26,200 Speaker 12: make something happen when it looks like now it's not 718 00:37:26,480 --> 00:37:28,000 Speaker 12: probably one hundred percent. 719 00:37:27,760 --> 00:37:30,279 Speaker 13: There, So a couple of things there, A couple of 720 00:37:30,320 --> 00:37:32,239 Speaker 13: thoughts there. You said our allies and I know, I 721 00:37:32,280 --> 00:37:35,000 Speaker 13: know you, Steve, you would like to be putting air 722 00:37:35,080 --> 00:37:38,360 Speaker 13: quotes around the word allies because their interested in the 723 00:37:38,400 --> 00:37:41,680 Speaker 13: Middle East and frankly Russia are higher oil prices, so 724 00:37:41,680 --> 00:37:45,080 Speaker 13: they're they're doing everything in their power encouraging Trump to 725 00:37:45,239 --> 00:37:48,440 Speaker 13: quote quote unquote finish the job. That means more troops, 726 00:37:48,680 --> 00:37:51,839 Speaker 13: maybe troops on the ground, more bombings, that elevates oil 727 00:37:51,880 --> 00:37:56,880 Speaker 13: prices for the intermediate future, not just the short term future. 728 00:37:56,920 --> 00:37:58,840 Speaker 13: The intermediate future could be a year, it could be 729 00:37:58,880 --> 00:38:02,799 Speaker 13: two years. And what that does where who wins in that? 730 00:38:02,920 --> 00:38:03,600 Speaker 1: Who wins in that? 731 00:38:03,760 --> 00:38:07,919 Speaker 13: The other thought is don't they effectively control the straight 732 00:38:07,960 --> 00:38:08,600 Speaker 13: of horn moves? 733 00:38:08,640 --> 00:38:08,839 Speaker 5: Now? 734 00:38:08,920 --> 00:38:11,560 Speaker 13: I mean they anytime they want, they can do that, 735 00:38:11,600 --> 00:38:15,600 Speaker 13: and they've proven worth three almost four weeks into this conflict, 736 00:38:16,400 --> 00:38:18,799 Speaker 13: and we don't have a ship in there, and ships aren't. 737 00:38:18,840 --> 00:38:20,480 Speaker 13: The only ships that are going are the ones that 738 00:38:20,520 --> 00:38:22,560 Speaker 13: both Iran and the US agree. 739 00:38:22,239 --> 00:38:23,360 Speaker 1: Are allowed to go through. 740 00:38:23,760 --> 00:38:25,840 Speaker 13: So they do have it and they probably always have 741 00:38:25,920 --> 00:38:27,759 Speaker 13: it unless the Saudis want to step up there on 742 00:38:27,800 --> 00:38:29,799 Speaker 13: the other side of the straight of hor moves and 743 00:38:30,080 --> 00:38:30,840 Speaker 13: take that control. 744 00:38:30,840 --> 00:38:32,520 Speaker 1: But why, you know, why is it the US? 745 00:38:32,719 --> 00:38:35,759 Speaker 13: The reality is, Steve, we use West Texas Intermediate. We 746 00:38:35,800 --> 00:38:38,640 Speaker 13: produce most of the oil we need right here. We 747 00:38:38,719 --> 00:38:41,160 Speaker 13: don't need Middle Eastern oil if we don't have to, 748 00:38:41,280 --> 00:38:44,680 Speaker 13: especially with that deal, we can actually even work on Venezuela, 749 00:38:44,760 --> 00:38:48,319 Speaker 13: Canada and Mexico to increase our purchases there. So the 750 00:38:48,360 --> 00:38:51,479 Speaker 13: reason why West Texas Intermedia our oil is one four 751 00:38:51,600 --> 00:38:55,280 Speaker 13: today and Brent is one eighteen today and Middle Eastern 752 00:38:55,280 --> 00:38:58,279 Speaker 13: Omani crude others are one fifty today is because it's 753 00:38:58,320 --> 00:39:01,719 Speaker 13: a regional issue. It's not really our issue. Somewhat is 754 00:39:01,760 --> 00:39:05,400 Speaker 13: because oil is a global commodity. But you know in others, 755 00:39:05,480 --> 00:39:09,240 Speaker 13: one one price raises all prices. But to the extent 756 00:39:09,280 --> 00:39:11,239 Speaker 13: that we say, we have all the production we need, 757 00:39:11,640 --> 00:39:13,760 Speaker 13: go ahead, close the straight, we have our production. 758 00:39:13,840 --> 00:39:15,040 Speaker 1: We're good, We're good to go. 759 00:39:15,440 --> 00:39:19,200 Speaker 13: Why are we you know, fighting risking our young people's 760 00:39:19,239 --> 00:39:22,960 Speaker 13: lives is really the only way to truly truly take 761 00:39:23,000 --> 00:39:26,280 Speaker 13: over Iran and in regime change and get that oil. 762 00:39:26,760 --> 00:39:29,279 Speaker 13: Why would we risk that? Its just it seems like 763 00:39:30,400 --> 00:39:31,560 Speaker 13: our outcome. 764 00:39:31,640 --> 00:39:34,240 Speaker 2: You were you were, you were the first one to observe. 765 00:39:34,320 --> 00:39:37,239 Speaker 12: You're you're the first one to observe yesterday, we're President Trump. 766 00:39:37,320 --> 00:39:37,880 Speaker 2: Yesterday morn a. 767 00:39:37,920 --> 00:39:43,560 Speaker 12: President Trump normally said something uh accommodating that oil would drop. Yesterday, 768 00:39:43,560 --> 00:39:45,000 Speaker 12: it was the first time it didn't infect It went 769 00:39:45,080 --> 00:39:46,719 Speaker 12: up and then searched the end of the day. 770 00:39:47,200 --> 00:39:48,120 Speaker 2: What has happened with. 771 00:39:48,120 --> 00:39:52,200 Speaker 12: His comments about having the Allies take over the straight 772 00:39:52,239 --> 00:39:53,640 Speaker 12: of her moves and the Persian Gulf? 773 00:39:53,800 --> 00:39:54,880 Speaker 2: What has oil done today? 774 00:39:56,520 --> 00:39:57,160 Speaker 1: Uh up? 775 00:39:58,480 --> 00:40:01,080 Speaker 13: West Texas inter Media is basically flat trading one hundred 776 00:40:01,080 --> 00:40:03,840 Speaker 13: and three hundred and four dollars a barrow, which is 777 00:40:04,000 --> 00:40:06,560 Speaker 13: which where it was not at the close. 778 00:40:06,400 --> 00:40:08,240 Speaker 1: Yesterday is one on one at the close yesterday. 779 00:40:08,280 --> 00:40:11,080 Speaker 13: It ran up after the close because of a Russia 780 00:40:11,120 --> 00:40:13,160 Speaker 13: saying they may force measure oil. So is at one 781 00:40:13,160 --> 00:40:16,760 Speaker 13: o four after like in the European trading or Asian 782 00:40:16,800 --> 00:40:19,520 Speaker 13: trading this morning, you'd open up about the same price. 783 00:40:19,520 --> 00:40:22,799 Speaker 13: But Brent jumped up five dollars a barrow. That the 784 00:40:22,840 --> 00:40:25,680 Speaker 13: Brent that a lot of the Middle Eastern crews are 785 00:40:25,719 --> 00:40:28,080 Speaker 13: tied to price wise, so that jumped up. 786 00:40:28,120 --> 00:40:31,040 Speaker 1: So no one in the oil trading community. 787 00:40:30,680 --> 00:40:33,280 Speaker 13: Is ready to say all clear yet the equity market 788 00:40:33,480 --> 00:40:35,640 Speaker 13: has a different thought. They liked, they love to hear 789 00:40:35,680 --> 00:40:39,480 Speaker 13: what they heard, and equities are up today substantially for 790 00:40:39,840 --> 00:40:41,640 Speaker 13: five hundred points in the doubt, but the oil guys 791 00:40:41,680 --> 00:40:42,600 Speaker 13: are not buying it. 792 00:40:44,400 --> 00:40:46,040 Speaker 12: Eric, you've got to do the show. We'll see in 793 00:40:46,080 --> 00:40:48,839 Speaker 12: the afternoon that hopefully do a truck. We'll have more 794 00:40:48,880 --> 00:40:55,680 Speaker 12: to report, Eric Bowling, great job, Brent Oil, one hundred 795 00:40:55,680 --> 00:40:57,040 Speaker 12: and eighteen dollars a barrow for sure. 796 00:40:57,120 --> 00:40:57,319 Speaker 11: Break. 797 00:41:00,640 --> 00:41:02,760 Speaker 1: Here's your host, Stephen. 798 00:41:02,400 --> 00:41:03,200 Speaker 2: K ath. 799 00:41:06,000 --> 00:41:10,719 Speaker 12: Okay McCabe at the White House. Nil McCabe, it was 800 00:41:10,719 --> 00:41:13,680 Speaker 12: a little different this morning. I wanted to make note 801 00:41:14,800 --> 00:41:18,799 Speaker 12: that CNN and then I think Fox News my ever 802 00:41:18,880 --> 00:41:22,200 Speaker 12: crack team, because we're trying at Fox News. I think 803 00:41:22,280 --> 00:41:25,640 Speaker 12: both cut away and CNN definitely cut away about two 804 00:41:25,640 --> 00:41:28,080 Speaker 12: thirds the way through it. I believe Fox News cut 805 00:41:28,120 --> 00:41:31,440 Speaker 12: away before it is over. MSNBC took it almost to 806 00:41:31,480 --> 00:41:35,800 Speaker 12: the end and then they cut away. It was quite interesting, McCabe. 807 00:41:35,840 --> 00:41:38,040 Speaker 12: Your assessment of what you heard this morning over at 808 00:41:38,040 --> 00:41:40,320 Speaker 12: the White House from the Pentagon press conference. 809 00:41:42,640 --> 00:41:45,719 Speaker 14: Yeah, I'll just pile on c SPAN Radio also cut 810 00:41:45,760 --> 00:41:47,480 Speaker 14: out about halfway through. 811 00:41:47,520 --> 00:41:50,360 Speaker 2: For what it's worth, speaking. 812 00:41:50,000 --> 00:41:53,359 Speaker 14: As a retired senior Public Affairs NCO in the United 813 00:41:53,360 --> 00:41:57,160 Speaker 14: States Army Reserve. It's important to look at not what 814 00:41:57,400 --> 00:42:01,120 Speaker 14: is said, but why it is said, what is not said, 815 00:42:01,239 --> 00:42:05,000 Speaker 14: and why it is not said. First thing Hegseth says 816 00:42:05,080 --> 00:42:09,560 Speaker 14: is morale is high. Our personnel are excited, they want 817 00:42:09,640 --> 00:42:13,560 Speaker 14: more bombs, and they're operating at a high tempo, and 818 00:42:13,640 --> 00:42:15,840 Speaker 14: so that's great news. 819 00:42:15,880 --> 00:42:18,720 Speaker 2: Also that our allies are a wall. 820 00:42:19,080 --> 00:42:23,880 Speaker 14: There's an Anglo French word succor, which basically is what 821 00:42:23,920 --> 00:42:26,200 Speaker 14: Hegseth is say, is that our allies and friends are 822 00:42:26,239 --> 00:42:32,600 Speaker 14: giving succor to the Iranians. Cain interestingly name checked defense 823 00:42:32,680 --> 00:42:37,080 Speaker 14: contractors and the civilians working on sort of that industrial 824 00:42:37,160 --> 00:42:42,000 Speaker 14: complex producing that equipment and munitions and war material. 825 00:42:42,400 --> 00:42:44,279 Speaker 2: I thought that was interesting that he. 826 00:42:44,280 --> 00:42:47,640 Speaker 14: Would make that effort to reach out to them, and 827 00:42:48,200 --> 00:42:53,440 Speaker 14: also what is not said. USS Barkser was steaming with 828 00:42:53,520 --> 00:42:54,280 Speaker 14: two other ships. 829 00:42:54,280 --> 00:42:56,520 Speaker 2: It was a three ship task. 830 00:42:56,239 --> 00:43:02,600 Speaker 14: Force steaming for Epic Fury. It just pulled into Florida, 831 00:43:02,680 --> 00:43:06,200 Speaker 14: excuse me, Florida, Hawaii for a port call. And so 832 00:43:06,320 --> 00:43:09,200 Speaker 14: that tells me that maybe they're off ramping some of 833 00:43:09,200 --> 00:43:12,640 Speaker 14: those marines, and maybe that plays into why they're throwing 834 00:43:12,680 --> 00:43:13,840 Speaker 14: away the keys Steve. 835 00:43:15,719 --> 00:43:17,360 Speaker 2: No, it's very the Boxer. 836 00:43:18,440 --> 00:43:20,880 Speaker 12: Yeah, the Boxer, you would think would be all engines 837 00:43:20,920 --> 00:43:23,640 Speaker 12: ahead flank to get to across the Western Pacific, through 838 00:43:23,719 --> 00:43:25,080 Speaker 12: the Straits of Malacca. 839 00:43:24,840 --> 00:43:27,160 Speaker 2: And then into the Indian Ocean North Arabian Sea. 840 00:43:27,800 --> 00:43:31,040 Speaker 12: Clearly there is either some issue they want to take 841 00:43:31,040 --> 00:43:34,520 Speaker 12: care of Inport, but they pulled into Pearl Harbor. I 842 00:43:34,560 --> 00:43:36,880 Speaker 12: want you to go back to a buried lead. You 843 00:43:36,960 --> 00:43:40,760 Speaker 12: just talked about. The tempo of this fight, ladies and gentlemen, 844 00:43:40,960 --> 00:43:45,520 Speaker 12: is pretty impressive. I mean every night they're at these 845 00:43:45,600 --> 00:43:48,840 Speaker 12: guys are at battle stations, general quarters, they're doing flight 846 00:43:48,880 --> 00:43:50,399 Speaker 12: ops twenty four hours a day. 847 00:43:50,800 --> 00:43:54,200 Speaker 2: That means the destroyers are out there as pickets. You know. 848 00:43:54,560 --> 00:43:58,959 Speaker 12: These two carrier strike groups or at least one carry 849 00:43:59,000 --> 00:44:02,279 Speaker 12: strike group because one and ones in Port up and 850 00:44:02,800 --> 00:44:04,600 Speaker 12: up in the Eastern med. 851 00:44:05,000 --> 00:44:06,080 Speaker 2: It's pretty impressive. 852 00:44:06,600 --> 00:44:09,799 Speaker 12: The morales as reported by the Secretary of Defense and 853 00:44:09,840 --> 00:44:12,719 Speaker 12: everything we everything, yeah, everything we can see. And they're 854 00:44:12,760 --> 00:44:15,560 Speaker 12: doing this in a in a really up tempo environment. 855 00:44:15,640 --> 00:44:21,120 Speaker 14: Sir, I'll say this that, uh, the overall message from 856 00:44:21,120 --> 00:44:27,080 Speaker 14: this presser was that we are winning tactically and operationally, 857 00:44:27,760 --> 00:44:32,799 Speaker 14: and the Iranians are deserting the morale is broken, and 858 00:44:32,880 --> 00:44:37,000 Speaker 14: so from from our perspective here at the Pentagon, everything 859 00:44:37,080 --> 00:44:40,600 Speaker 14: is going great, and it's up to the geopolitical guys 860 00:44:40,800 --> 00:44:43,800 Speaker 14: to figure out how to exploit our success. 861 00:44:46,280 --> 00:44:48,920 Speaker 12: It's also the one of the implications, and I think 862 00:44:48,920 --> 00:44:51,959 Speaker 12: this is one of the difficulties administrations had. You've done 863 00:44:52,000 --> 00:44:54,239 Speaker 12: you've shattered their command and control and not just the 864 00:44:54,280 --> 00:44:56,760 Speaker 12: electronics and all that, but you've also gone down almost 865 00:44:56,800 --> 00:44:59,320 Speaker 12: I think to the brigade level they tell me, uh, 866 00:44:59,520 --> 00:45:03,520 Speaker 12: for the Revolutionary Guard. It makes it even harder to 867 00:45:03,600 --> 00:45:08,120 Speaker 12: find somebody even take the call to negotiate. But more importantly, 868 00:45:08,320 --> 00:45:11,239 Speaker 12: somebody can actually make a deal stick that if you're 869 00:45:11,239 --> 00:45:13,320 Speaker 12: negotiating with them, it's just not on a piece of paper. 870 00:45:13,440 --> 00:45:16,360 Speaker 12: They actually have influence because you can tell from this 871 00:45:16,440 --> 00:45:19,560 Speaker 12: brief and other things that we're hearing they have shattered. 872 00:45:19,560 --> 00:45:22,359 Speaker 12: Now they dispersed, and they're going to fight, and this 873 00:45:22,400 --> 00:45:25,160 Speaker 12: is why someone could fight on forever. But any kind 874 00:45:25,200 --> 00:45:27,960 Speaker 12: of centrality that you would need to try to make 875 00:45:28,000 --> 00:45:31,920 Speaker 12: some deal is hard for the simple reason you've dropped 876 00:45:31,920 --> 00:45:34,520 Speaker 12: the hammer blown, right, And folks, I just don't know 877 00:45:34,560 --> 00:45:38,960 Speaker 12: if everybody realizes every night they're having another hammer blow. 878 00:45:39,200 --> 00:45:41,600 Speaker 2: As only the United States military can deliver. 879 00:45:41,440 --> 00:45:47,359 Speaker 14: New Yeah, well they're looking for where is Marshall Tito? Right, 880 00:45:47,640 --> 00:45:51,920 Speaker 14: where's that rogue guy who declares himself a warlord? And 881 00:45:52,000 --> 00:45:55,200 Speaker 14: he just says, Okay, these six provinces are mine and 882 00:45:55,239 --> 00:45:59,920 Speaker 14: I'm cutting a deal. So far ideologically it's holding by. 883 00:46:00,120 --> 00:46:02,120 Speaker 14: There has to be a Tito to emerge. 884 00:46:04,840 --> 00:46:05,120 Speaker 1: Neil. 885 00:46:05,520 --> 00:46:08,040 Speaker 12: What's the feeling over at the at the White House? 886 00:46:08,080 --> 00:46:09,839 Speaker 12: I know people are hungered down. I think they've put 887 00:46:09,920 --> 00:46:14,440 Speaker 12: I think they've canceled the tours. It's very you know, 888 00:46:14,520 --> 00:46:16,720 Speaker 12: it's kind of general quarters over there, twenty four hours 889 00:46:16,719 --> 00:46:20,040 Speaker 12: a day.

About half an hour ago, JD. 893 00:46:31,320 --> 00:46:34,400 Speaker 14: Vance's motorcade rolled in. He walked into the West Wing. 894 00:46:34,760 --> 00:46:37,759 Speaker 14: The President right now is in what they call executive time, 895 00:46:37,880 --> 00:46:40,040 Speaker 14: so he's in meetings all that's closed to the press. 896 00:46:40,360 --> 00:46:44,000 Speaker 14: And then tonight the President and Milania are going to 897 00:46:44,080 --> 00:46:46,960 Speaker 14: go to the Trump Kennedy Center for the opening night 898 00:46:47,040 --> 00:46:50,520 Speaker 14: of Chicago and so there's you know, there's two different 899 00:46:50,520 --> 00:46:53,240 Speaker 14: realities going on.
