I mean, it was our 41 00:01:33,240 --> 00:01:35,360 Speaker 1: It was like twelve hours apart. And then I bumped. 42 00:01:35,680 --> 00:01:37,880 Speaker 2: So, DC is a small city with a lot going on, 43 00:01:37,920 --> 00:01:43,479 Speaker 2: a small city with a very big responsibility. Speaking with yesterday, 44 00:01:44,120 --> 00:01:46,880 Speaker 2: we're gonna we're gonna get into the the heats getting 45 00:01:46,920 --> 00:01:49,240 Speaker 2: turned up on the Middle East in Iran, and obviously 46 00:01:49,280 --> 00:01:54,600 Speaker 2: the deportations and the la riots and what's going on 47 00:01:54,800 --> 00:01:56,880 Speaker 2: in other cities. We're gonna dive into all that first, 48 00:01:57,000 --> 00:01:58,680 Speaker 2: but just a little bit of what we're doing here. 49 00:01:59,200 --> 00:01:59,320 Speaker 1: Uh. 50 00:01:59,520 --> 00:02:02,760 Speaker 2: We yesterday went to as we mentioned, to Langley, to 51 00:02:02,800 --> 00:02:06,760 Speaker 2: CIA headquarters and met with some of the senior folks 52 00:02:06,880 --> 00:02:10,239 Speaker 2: over there, had some off the record conversations about what's 53 00:02:10,280 --> 00:02:12,200 Speaker 2: going on. So because it's off the record, I can't 54 00:02:12,200 --> 00:02:15,200 Speaker 2: tell you much about that. But Clay and I did 55 00:02:15,240 --> 00:02:17,400 Speaker 2: get to go very much on the record through the 56 00:02:17,440 --> 00:02:19,880 Speaker 2: spy museum they have at Langley, which was very cool. 57 00:02:19,919 --> 00:02:22,160 Speaker 2: I mean, they've got some great stuff. They've really upgraded 58 00:02:22,160 --> 00:02:24,640 Speaker 2: it since I was there. And then later on in 59 00:02:24,680 --> 00:02:28,160 Speaker 2: the day I had a meeting, well, we had a meeting. 60 00:02:28,639 --> 00:02:32,120 Speaker 2: Clay can explain what happened, but we had a meeting 61 00:02:32,240 --> 00:02:35,880 Speaker 2: with the Director of National Intelligence Tulci Gabbard and her staff, 62 00:02:36,520 --> 00:02:38,600 Speaker 2: and he is doing a lot of work. We had 63 00:02:38,639 --> 00:02:41,960 Speaker 2: a scheduled meeting, well, we had a scheduled meeting that 64 00:02:42,040 --> 00:02:44,520 Speaker 2: one of us went to the other one as a 65 00:02:44,520 --> 00:02:47,480 Speaker 2: Tennessee resident, had a little booboo when it came. 66 00:02:47,360 --> 00:02:47,880 Speaker 1: To his ID. 67 00:02:48,680 --> 00:02:51,960 Speaker 2: So I got rejected at the White House and the 68 00:02:52,040 --> 00:02:55,280 Speaker 2: old Executive Office Building because I showed up for our 69 00:02:55,320 --> 00:02:58,960 Speaker 2: meeting right after we finished the show yesterday. And I 70 00:02:59,120 --> 00:03:04,040 Speaker 2: don't have a real I've been traveling with my passport. 71 00:03:04,360 --> 00:03:08,079 Speaker 2: The state of Tennessee doesn't make your driver's license default 72 00:03:08,160 --> 00:03:11,320 Speaker 2: real ID, I don't want to have an eight hour 73 00:03:11,520 --> 00:03:16,360 Speaker 2: day spent at the DMV. Also, we have a weird schedule. 74 00:03:16,919 --> 00:03:18,840 Speaker 2: We have to be on the air from eleven to 75 00:03:18,840 --> 00:03:22,240 Speaker 2: two so Central time where I live in Nashville. So 76 00:03:22,600 --> 00:03:24,800 Speaker 2: it's hard for me to commit to anything in the 77 00:03:24,840 --> 00:03:27,880 Speaker 2: morning because it might drag into when our show starts. 78 00:03:27,919 --> 00:03:29,919 Speaker 2: I got to drive back and then by the time 79 00:03:29,960 --> 00:03:34,280 Speaker 2: our show gets done getting to somewhere before the DMV closes, 80 00:03:34,520 --> 00:03:36,800 Speaker 2: It's like I have to take a whole day off work. 81 00:03:36,880 --> 00:03:40,200 Speaker 2: And I've done it before, but to get passports for 82 00:03:40,200 --> 00:03:43,560 Speaker 2: the kids. So anyway, I show Florida. Florida just gives 83 00:03:43,600 --> 00:03:44,120 Speaker 2: you real ID. 84 00:03:44,280 --> 00:03:44,640 Speaker 1: I don't know. 85 00:03:44,760 --> 00:03:48,080 Speaker 2: I don't know, Tennessee losing some points here, Florida surging 86 00:03:48,120 --> 00:03:51,520 Speaker 2: ahead in the red state sweepstakes. I'm just telling you 87 00:03:51,560 --> 00:03:54,240 Speaker 2: the truth. So they wouldn't let me in the White House, 88 00:03:54,400 --> 00:03:58,200 Speaker 2: can I just say? I straight up asked the Director 89 00:03:58,240 --> 00:04:01,760 Speaker 2: of National Intelligence true to vouch for my man Clay 90 00:04:01,840 --> 00:04:04,840 Speaker 2: like this felt like leaving him at the velvet rope 91 00:04:04,880 --> 00:04:05,640 Speaker 2: at the nightclub. 92 00:04:05,680 --> 00:04:07,800 Speaker 1: I was like, but you're not gonna let my buddy in, and. 93 00:04:07,760 --> 00:04:10,640 Speaker 2: They're just you know, the the Secret Service guys or no, 94 00:04:10,880 --> 00:04:14,440 Speaker 2: like this is the you're actually there's a sign when 95 00:04:14,480 --> 00:04:16,560 Speaker 2: you go in that says you must have real I 96 00:04:16,680 --> 00:04:19,880 Speaker 2: d no exceptions. But Clay, of course, because he's Clay 97 00:04:20,000 --> 00:04:22,440 Speaker 2: was I mean, I'm Clay Travis, like you know, we 98 00:04:22,440 --> 00:04:24,640 Speaker 2: all had a little we tried, we tried a little 99 00:04:24,640 --> 00:04:25,960 Speaker 2: bit of that. We tried a little bit of that. 100 00:04:26,120 --> 00:04:29,599 Speaker 2: He's Director of National Intelligence, said they won't let me 101 00:04:29,760 --> 00:04:32,000 Speaker 2: in if I don't have proper ideas. I mean, my 102 00:04:32,160 --> 00:04:35,800 Speaker 2: argument was, we did just spend all morning at the CIA, 103 00:04:36,200 --> 00:04:38,320 Speaker 2: and I didn't need a real ID to get in there. 104 00:04:39,160 --> 00:04:41,400 Speaker 1: But he's trying to evade the rules. You know. 105 00:04:41,880 --> 00:04:44,000 Speaker 2: Oh, I was at the CIA all morning. They've heard 106 00:04:44,000 --> 00:04:46,159 Speaker 2: it all, Clay, They've heard So I had to leave. 107 00:04:46,240 --> 00:04:47,599 Speaker 2: I had to leave a man behind. I don't know 108 00:04:47,600 --> 00:04:49,760 Speaker 2: what to say. I had to He was in the trenches, 109 00:04:49,839 --> 00:04:52,360 Speaker 2: he was taking grenades, and I had to just run 110 00:04:52,400 --> 00:04:56,040 Speaker 2: on the battlefield solo. One positive on this is I, 111 00:04:56,320 --> 00:04:59,800 Speaker 2: as I'm standing outside in the hot, baking sun, unable 112 00:04:59,839 --> 00:05:02,280 Speaker 2: to be let in because I don't have a real ID, which, 113 00:05:02,320 --> 00:05:06,080 Speaker 2: by the way, oh, don't be one of these people. 114 00:05:07,520 --> 00:05:10,599 Speaker 1: The real ID. I'm like, I am, who I am? 115 00:05:10,800 --> 00:05:13,880 Speaker 2: I've had I sound like Sam, I am, I got 116 00:05:13,920 --> 00:05:18,640 Speaker 2: the I've got the ID right. The fact that it 117 00:05:18,680 --> 00:05:21,520 Speaker 2: has a little star in the corner is that somehow 118 00:05:21,560 --> 00:05:24,680 Speaker 2: making the world safer, Like is anybody out there like, hey, 119 00:05:24,720 --> 00:05:27,400 Speaker 2: you know that terror attack would have hit, but boy, 120 00:05:27,440 --> 00:05:29,560 Speaker 2: I'm glad we have the little star circle in the 121 00:05:29,560 --> 00:05:30,080 Speaker 2: corner of. 122 00:05:30,000 --> 00:05:32,599 Speaker 1: The driver's license. This is the most ridiculous thing ever. 123 00:05:32,720 --> 00:05:35,400 Speaker 2: So this is not there are rules, yeah, so but 124 00:05:35,480 --> 00:05:38,560 Speaker 2: positive trying to be positive. As I'm standing in the 125 00:05:38,560 --> 00:05:41,520 Speaker 2: baking sunlight and the pavement standing outside of the White House, 126 00:05:41,640 --> 00:05:45,200 Speaker 2: unable to go in. I ran into former NFL kicker 127 00:05:45,279 --> 00:05:47,919 Speaker 2: Jay Feely, who had a real ID and was able 128 00:05:47,960 --> 00:05:50,200 Speaker 2: to go in for his meetings. But he's going to 129 00:05:50,279 --> 00:05:52,800 Speaker 2: be on the show in the second hour. Because I 130 00:05:52,839 --> 00:05:54,880 Speaker 2: was like, hey, you just want to come on the show. 131 00:05:54,960 --> 00:05:57,479 Speaker 2: So I booked us a guest. While standing in the 132 00:05:57,520 --> 00:06:00,720 Speaker 2: hot sunshine pavement with my not real all that sweating 133 00:06:00,760 --> 00:06:03,039 Speaker 2: through your dress shirt wis worth it? I just I 134 00:06:03,080 --> 00:06:04,680 Speaker 2: think I got you earned it, So we're going have 135 00:06:04,720 --> 00:06:07,919 Speaker 2: Jay Feely on. I spoke to Tulsa d and I 136 00:06:08,360 --> 00:06:12,359 Speaker 2: Gabbard and her staff again off the record, but I 137 00:06:12,360 --> 00:06:16,200 Speaker 2: can just tell you that really good context for us 138 00:06:16,240 --> 00:06:18,839 Speaker 2: to understand here about some of the moves that the 139 00:06:18,880 --> 00:06:22,119 Speaker 2: administration is doing. This is really while we're here touch 140 00:06:22,160 --> 00:06:25,360 Speaker 2: base with Trump's top team and the people who are 141 00:06:25,360 --> 00:06:29,000 Speaker 2: making the big decisions. And we've got some other meetings 142 00:06:29,040 --> 00:06:31,760 Speaker 2: that are scheduled that will be telling you about. I'm 143 00:06:31,760 --> 00:06:34,080 Speaker 2: sure you can have some guesses who. But the point 144 00:06:34,160 --> 00:06:37,120 Speaker 2: is we wanted to just have time to speak to everybody. 145 00:06:37,360 --> 00:06:39,880 Speaker 2: What are you working on, what's happening, what's going on, 146 00:06:40,080 --> 00:06:41,520 Speaker 2: and to do it in a way where they can 147 00:06:41,560 --> 00:06:43,800 Speaker 2: just speak freely to us. And you know, look, they 148 00:06:43,839 --> 00:06:49,160 Speaker 2: know we're openly avowedly pro Trump administration, want to see 149 00:06:49,200 --> 00:06:52,000 Speaker 2: success because really, I truly believe that the success of 150 00:06:52,000 --> 00:06:55,360 Speaker 2: the Trump administration is the success of the country and 151 00:06:55,400 --> 00:06:58,480 Speaker 2: the American people. But you always get whenever you're in 152 00:06:58,560 --> 00:07:02,960 Speaker 2: DC and you can speak to people freely. And again 153 00:07:03,160 --> 00:07:05,400 Speaker 2: I said, can we say we've met with you, Yes, 154 00:07:05,800 --> 00:07:08,760 Speaker 2: but the contents of the discussions were off the record. 155 00:07:09,400 --> 00:07:14,280 Speaker 2: You get much better exchange because people, even if they 156 00:07:14,320 --> 00:07:16,800 Speaker 2: trust you, they don't really they don't really trust anything 157 00:07:16,800 --> 00:07:18,880 Speaker 2: in this town, so they had to keep some of 158 00:07:18,880 --> 00:07:21,360 Speaker 2: that stuff between all of us. With all that in mind, 159 00:07:21,560 --> 00:07:24,679 Speaker 2: the President has been talking about this. They had Leyman's 160 00:07:24,800 --> 00:07:27,280 Speaker 2: rob that I pronounced that you did that was pretty 161 00:07:27,360 --> 00:07:30,480 Speaker 2: thank you, thank you. They had the play going on 162 00:07:30,560 --> 00:07:33,480 Speaker 2: at the Kennedy Center last night, and the President was 163 00:07:33,600 --> 00:07:38,720 Speaker 2: asked about this Iran conflict and the issues associated with it. 164 00:07:39,200 --> 00:07:41,640 Speaker 2: And they've been pulling You know this because when you 165 00:07:41,720 --> 00:07:45,240 Speaker 2: were in the CIA, when they start pulling people out 166 00:07:45,240 --> 00:07:48,000 Speaker 2: of family members, out of embassies in the Middle East, 167 00:07:48,120 --> 00:07:51,400 Speaker 2: there is a sign that things are not going very 168 00:07:51,480 --> 00:07:55,800 Speaker 2: well and that there is potentially tension associated with how 169 00:07:55,920 --> 00:07:58,520 Speaker 2: things could go. And so the reason why I bring 170 00:07:58,560 --> 00:08:01,360 Speaker 2: that up is it's it seems to me Buck that 171 00:08:01,640 --> 00:08:06,640 Speaker 2: Israel is ratcheting up the pressure and really wants to attack, 172 00:08:07,240 --> 00:08:11,200 Speaker 2: and that they want to go into Iran and that 173 00:08:11,240 --> 00:08:14,360 Speaker 2: they want to do it now. And so again there's 174 00:08:15,000 --> 00:08:19,120 Speaker 2: reportedly a weekend meeting that is scheduled, But it feels 175 00:08:19,160 --> 00:08:23,840 Speaker 2: to me like the Trump administration is basically letting Iran know, hey, 176 00:08:24,360 --> 00:08:27,080 Speaker 2: we're not going to continue to protect you from Israel, 177 00:08:27,520 --> 00:08:30,360 Speaker 2: and if we are pulling our people out of the 178 00:08:30,400 --> 00:08:34,240 Speaker 2: Middle East, that is a sign that they don't necessarily 179 00:08:34,360 --> 00:08:36,400 Speaker 2: know how this meeting is going to go, and things 180 00:08:36,400 --> 00:08:38,280 Speaker 2: could get a lot worse. I will tell you, I 181 00:08:38,320 --> 00:08:42,600 Speaker 2: think the heat is higher right now with Iran and 182 00:08:42,640 --> 00:08:47,240 Speaker 2: this it's been I understand, the Iranian nuclear issue has 183 00:08:47,280 --> 00:08:51,480 Speaker 2: been playing out for many years, for decades actually, and. 184 00:08:51,640 --> 00:08:52,600 Speaker 1: Now we have. 185 00:08:53,920 --> 00:08:58,680 Speaker 2: Now we have a situation where there's the chance that 186 00:08:58,880 --> 00:09:02,719 Speaker 2: something would have and things could get things could ask 187 00:09:03,000 --> 00:09:07,720 Speaker 2: very quickly. I am not in favor of a strike 188 00:09:08,160 --> 00:09:11,000 Speaker 2: by the Israelis on the Iranian nuclear facilities at this time. 189 00:09:11,040 --> 00:09:14,800 Speaker 2: The Trump administration is not in favor of an Israeli 190 00:09:14,800 --> 00:09:17,920 Speaker 2: strike on the Iranian nuclear facilities at this time. A 191 00:09:18,000 --> 00:09:22,360 Speaker 2: deal would be much better. And I think that there's 192 00:09:22,480 --> 00:09:28,640 Speaker 2: just no general feeling among the American people that we 193 00:09:28,679 --> 00:09:31,559 Speaker 2: should be drawn into any kind of Midi's conflict right now. 194 00:09:31,559 --> 00:09:34,800 Speaker 2: That's really something that we just for most of my 195 00:09:34,920 --> 00:09:37,120 Speaker 2: adult life, Clay, we've been fighting wars in the Middle East. 196 00:09:37,400 --> 00:09:38,320 Speaker 1: It's just too much. 197 00:09:38,440 --> 00:09:41,199 Speaker 2: And I showed up in some of these war zones, 198 00:09:41,240 --> 00:09:43,400 Speaker 2: did what I could, what little bit I could to help. 199 00:09:44,320 --> 00:09:46,880 Speaker 2: But this is something that I think really guides the 200 00:09:46,880 --> 00:09:50,360 Speaker 2: Trump foreign policy on this, and this is going to 201 00:09:50,400 --> 00:09:52,640 Speaker 2: get There's going to be some tension around this issue 202 00:09:52,679 --> 00:09:56,960 Speaker 2: because there are people that really truly believe that the 203 00:09:57,000 --> 00:10:03,520 Speaker 2: Iranian regime is so so maniacal, so blood thirsty, that 204 00:10:03,559 --> 00:10:07,719 Speaker 2: it would use nukes against israel I. You know, this 205 00:10:07,840 --> 00:10:11,520 Speaker 2: is where you're applying the highest, the highest stakes imaginable. 206 00:10:12,120 --> 00:10:14,320 Speaker 2: You're talking about this level of war and peace. But 207 00:10:14,400 --> 00:10:18,440 Speaker 2: I do think that they're still a realistic and strong 208 00:10:18,520 --> 00:10:21,480 Speaker 2: might be too much possibility, but a realistic possibility that 209 00:10:21,520 --> 00:10:24,680 Speaker 2: Trump can get this done without without this becoming a 210 00:10:24,880 --> 00:10:25,520 Speaker 2: point of conflict. 211 00:10:25,520 --> 00:10:27,240 Speaker 1: When you're talking about evacuating embassies. 212 00:10:27,920 --> 00:10:31,160 Speaker 2: The issue isn't that we would lose for against Iran, 213 00:10:31,280 --> 00:10:34,080 Speaker 2: that we'd even necessarily be brought into a war against Iran. 214 00:10:35,120 --> 00:10:39,079 Speaker 2: It's the Iranian capability to engage in terror attacks against 215 00:10:39,200 --> 00:10:41,600 Speaker 2: US targets all over the world, which they may just 216 00:10:41,640 --> 00:10:44,800 Speaker 2: decide to go for effectively, go for broke if those 217 00:10:44,800 --> 00:10:48,120 Speaker 2: facilities get hit, because it would destabilize the regime the 218 00:10:48,160 --> 00:10:51,280 Speaker 2: Iranian people, something that doesn't get talked about in this country, Clay, 219 00:10:51,640 --> 00:10:54,440 Speaker 2: the Iranian people, as much as we're always told they 220 00:10:54,480 --> 00:10:57,760 Speaker 2: are very pro Western, they don't like their regime. They 221 00:10:57,800 --> 00:11:01,240 Speaker 2: do for the greatness of Iran to be a nuclear power. 222 00:11:02,120 --> 00:11:04,679 Speaker 2: This is something that does not get talked about, but 223 00:11:04,760 --> 00:11:08,360 Speaker 2: the Iranian people want a lot of them. Now, you 224 00:11:08,360 --> 00:11:11,440 Speaker 2: could say, how could you know with the polling? You know, 225 00:11:11,480 --> 00:11:14,520 Speaker 2: there are ways that you can assess this stuff. But 226 00:11:14,840 --> 00:11:19,120 Speaker 2: there's a national pride component of Iran getting this that 227 00:11:19,200 --> 00:11:21,959 Speaker 2: makes it more complicated. It's not quite as clear as 228 00:11:22,000 --> 00:11:25,400 Speaker 2: split with the regime on this issue as we would 229 00:11:25,440 --> 00:11:28,800 Speaker 2: like it to be. Yeah, and look, I think the 230 00:11:28,920 --> 00:11:32,360 Speaker 2: challenge in general, you understand why Iran wants nuclear weapons 231 00:11:32,400 --> 00:11:35,600 Speaker 2: because Kim Jong un has them and basically he's preserved 232 00:11:35,600 --> 00:11:40,520 Speaker 2: his family's ability to rule North Korea for generations to 233 00:11:40,559 --> 00:11:42,840 Speaker 2: come unless somebody internally takes him out. 234 00:11:42,880 --> 00:11:45,960 Speaker 1: I don't think anybody externally. Is why did Ukraine? 235 00:11:46,880 --> 00:11:50,080 Speaker 2: If Ukraine could change one decision they made since the 236 00:11:50,080 --> 00:11:52,560 Speaker 2: fall of the Berlin Wall, I bet it would be 237 00:11:52,920 --> 00:11:55,840 Speaker 2: not giving up their nukes because do you think Russia 238 00:11:55,840 --> 00:11:58,640 Speaker 2: would have invaded Ukraine if Ukraine had kept the nukes. 239 00:11:58,720 --> 00:12:03,559 Speaker 2: This is, unfortunately the the takeaway from what happened in Libya, 240 00:12:03,800 --> 00:12:09,640 Speaker 2: where the or the Obama and Hillary administration decided that 241 00:12:09,679 --> 00:12:12,400 Speaker 2: they were going to engage in this NATO air war 242 00:12:12,520 --> 00:12:14,760 Speaker 2: to help militias on the ground overthrow, and then of 243 00:12:14,760 --> 00:12:17,680 Speaker 2: course Benghazi happened, and we remember some of this history, 244 00:12:18,160 --> 00:12:25,920 Speaker 2: but Kadafi was actually cooperating with the dismantling of and 245 00:12:26,320 --> 00:12:31,520 Speaker 2: avoiding WMD programs, and we decided a meaning the US government, 246 00:12:31,559 --> 00:12:34,199 Speaker 2: you know what, not good enough, and they went in 247 00:12:34,520 --> 00:12:36,559 Speaker 2: and we saw the videos of what happened to Kadafi. 248 00:12:37,760 --> 00:12:40,000 Speaker 2: It's it's very hard to commit. And by the way, 249 00:12:40,120 --> 00:12:42,440 Speaker 2: I think it's interesting. I wonder how many people before 250 00:12:42,480 --> 00:12:45,040 Speaker 2: I just said it now knew that it is. It 251 00:12:45,120 --> 00:12:47,560 Speaker 2: is just known that the Iranian people want nukes, like 252 00:12:47,640 --> 00:12:49,640 Speaker 2: this is not some thing that I have said that 253 00:12:49,840 --> 00:12:53,960 Speaker 2: is a fringe believer theory. But it makes this a 254 00:12:53,960 --> 00:12:58,880 Speaker 2: more complicated situation because the Iranian regime has been promising 255 00:12:59,240 --> 00:13:01,559 Speaker 2: the secure and you know, we don't really think of 256 00:13:01,600 --> 00:13:03,520 Speaker 2: it this way because we're so used to America being 257 00:13:03,920 --> 00:13:06,680 Speaker 2: the scientific power. We're so used to thinking of America 258 00:13:06,800 --> 00:13:09,120 Speaker 2: as you know, of course we have nukes, and of 259 00:13:09,160 --> 00:13:11,960 Speaker 2: course we have you know, satellites and space shuttles and 260 00:13:11,960 --> 00:13:13,000 Speaker 2: all this amazing stuff. 261 00:13:13,840 --> 00:13:17,319 Speaker 1: There is a pride in Iran among. 262 00:13:17,080 --> 00:13:20,240 Speaker 2: The people about the achievement, the scientific achievement of being 263 00:13:20,240 --> 00:13:20,960 Speaker 2: a nuclear power. 264 00:13:21,000 --> 00:13:22,560 Speaker 1: Bither. This was true in Pakistan as well. 265 00:13:22,640 --> 00:13:25,199 Speaker 2: Some people actually point to Pakistan and India as well, 266 00:13:25,200 --> 00:13:27,199 Speaker 2: they have nukes and they weren't supposed to it. It's 267 00:13:27,240 --> 00:13:30,120 Speaker 2: a now that that gets very contentious because Pakistan and 268 00:13:30,160 --> 00:13:32,679 Speaker 2: India are not Iran and aren't doing the thing. 269 00:13:32,720 --> 00:13:34,400 Speaker 1: Oh, Pakistan does some pretty bad stuff. 270 00:13:34,440 --> 00:13:37,920 Speaker 2: But this is a moment where I think we're seeing 271 00:13:37,960 --> 00:13:41,240 Speaker 2: decisions made on this issue. I don't think Clay, the 272 00:13:41,320 --> 00:13:44,320 Speaker 2: decision has been made one way or the other. In 273 00:13:44,360 --> 00:13:46,960 Speaker 2: my mind, that's what I that's the atmospheric that I 274 00:13:46,960 --> 00:13:49,079 Speaker 2: pick up. But I will say, just talking to people 275 00:13:49,120 --> 00:13:52,679 Speaker 2: here in the vicinity of the decision making process in DC, 276 00:13:53,720 --> 00:13:56,360 Speaker 2: they're very tense talking about Iran right now. Well, I 277 00:13:56,360 --> 00:13:59,959 Speaker 2: think that's one hundred percent true. And remember, the motive, 278 00:14:00,400 --> 00:14:04,960 Speaker 2: according to multiple reports, for why Hamas attacked Israel on 279 00:14:05,000 --> 00:14:08,800 Speaker 2: October seventh, was that Saudi Arabia was prepared to join 280 00:14:08,840 --> 00:14:11,599 Speaker 2: the Abraham Accords. And if Saudi Arabia had joined the 281 00:14:11,640 --> 00:14:15,520 Speaker 2: Abraham Accords, then the peace in the Middle East situation 282 00:14:16,000 --> 00:14:18,800 Speaker 2: would have been far more likely. And now that Syria 283 00:14:19,120 --> 00:14:23,640 Speaker 2: we have in some ways normalized relations with Syria, I 284 00:14:23,760 --> 00:14:28,640 Speaker 2: think that Iran is isolated to a degree that may 285 00:14:28,680 --> 00:14:31,840 Speaker 2: not have occurred in a generation, and that this is 286 00:14:31,880 --> 00:14:35,560 Speaker 2: where Israel believes now is the time to hit them 287 00:14:35,960 --> 00:14:39,480 Speaker 2: and keep them from having nukes. Whether the United States 288 00:14:39,520 --> 00:14:42,960 Speaker 2: is going to agree with that Israeli perspective remains to 289 00:14:43,000 --> 00:14:46,600 Speaker 2: be seen, but I think Israel is quite clearly behind 290 00:14:46,640 --> 00:14:50,120 Speaker 2: the scenes advocating as aggressively as possible that now is 291 00:14:50,200 --> 00:14:53,040 Speaker 2: the time to go. Yes, well, the problem and I 292 00:14:53,120 --> 00:14:55,440 Speaker 2: think the Israeli government I know, Clay, you went and 293 00:14:55,520 --> 00:14:56,000 Speaker 2: visited and. 294 00:14:55,920 --> 00:14:57,240 Speaker 1: Spoke to high level officials there. 295 00:14:57,280 --> 00:15:01,360 Speaker 2: But one of their concerns is also that without any 296 00:15:01,440 --> 00:15:07,040 Speaker 2: fear of any real military direct attack on Iran, does 297 00:15:07,040 --> 00:15:10,880 Speaker 2: that then embolden the Iranian regime to push It's what 298 00:15:10,920 --> 00:15:16,440 Speaker 2: are essentially imperial and and almost colonizing activities by running 299 00:15:16,440 --> 00:15:20,760 Speaker 2: these different proxy militias in places like Lebanon with hezbelah 300 00:15:21,240 --> 00:15:23,400 Speaker 2: Uh and the Shia Milicius. Why are we so worried 301 00:15:23,400 --> 00:15:25,600 Speaker 2: about Iraq and the US embassy in Iraq, Well, it's 302 00:15:25,640 --> 00:15:29,440 Speaker 2: because the most capable military forces on the ground, when 303 00:15:29,480 --> 00:15:32,280 Speaker 2: when push comes to shove and and shove comes to shooting, 304 00:15:33,080 --> 00:15:38,160 Speaker 2: are Iranian backed and trained proxy militias essentially. So this 305 00:15:38,240 --> 00:15:41,280 Speaker 2: is this is a huge challenge, a huge problem that 306 00:15:41,320 --> 00:15:44,000 Speaker 2: we face and and I think that this is a 307 00:15:44,000 --> 00:15:47,440 Speaker 2: test of the Trump administration's foreign policy and a test 308 00:15:47,480 --> 00:15:52,440 Speaker 2: of our relationship with well allies in the Middle East, 309 00:15:52,520 --> 00:15:55,600 Speaker 2: Israel first and foremost. So that's absolutely something we'll continue 310 00:15:55,600 --> 00:15:58,360 Speaker 2: to follow. We'll also dive deeper into the riots la 311 00:15:58,600 --> 00:16:00,800 Speaker 2: all that stuff here in just a moment. But in 312 00:16:00,840 --> 00:16:04,520 Speaker 2: the meantime, Israelis have been under attack one a kind 313 00:16:04,720 --> 00:16:06,640 Speaker 2: or another for more than a year and a half. 314 00:16:06,720 --> 00:16:09,400 Speaker 2: It's when they need friends and support the most, which 315 00:16:09,480 --> 00:16:12,000 Speaker 2: is why we're partnered. You mentioned buck my trip over 316 00:16:12,080 --> 00:16:15,000 Speaker 2: to Israel in December. It's why we're partnered with the 317 00:16:15,000 --> 00:16:20,040 Speaker 2: International Fellowship of Christians and Jews. They're feeding elderly Holocaust 318 00:16:20,080 --> 00:16:22,960 Speaker 2: survivors who have no one else. They're building bomb shelters 319 00:16:23,000 --> 00:16:26,960 Speaker 2: to protect kids from rocket attacks. They're providing security essentials 320 00:16:27,000 --> 00:16:29,640 Speaker 2: to first responders. I have seen all of this with 321 00:16:29,760 --> 00:16:33,280 Speaker 2: my own eyes.

It is very warm, 370 00:19:08,680 --> 00:19:10,879 Speaker 2: but we're having a good time and we're having some 371 00:19:10,920 --> 00:19:13,360 Speaker 2: great conversations. Where at Langley yesterday we're at the old 372 00:19:13,359 --> 00:19:17,439 Speaker 2: Executive Office building and a lot going on. We know 373 00:19:17,600 --> 00:19:21,360 Speaker 2: that there have been some moves made here with respect 374 00:19:21,359 --> 00:19:27,360 Speaker 2: to the Middle East and the movement of US personnel 375 00:19:28,560 --> 00:19:32,040 Speaker 2: out of the embassy in Iraq, for example, and other 376 00:19:32,080 --> 00:19:36,760 Speaker 2: embassy staffers are on high alert. Plus here's something Clay, 377 00:19:36,840 --> 00:19:41,920 Speaker 2: the UN watchdog rules that Iran is breaking the rules 378 00:19:42,000 --> 00:19:45,960 Speaker 2: on nuclear activity. And this decision comes as officials say 379 00:19:45,960 --> 00:19:48,000 Speaker 2: they believe this is New York Times that Israel is 380 00:19:48,040 --> 00:19:51,080 Speaker 2: preparing to launch a military attack. Of course, tay Ran 381 00:19:51,280 --> 00:19:55,040 Speaker 2: is condemned, the motes condemned the vote. The International Atomic 382 00:19:55,160 --> 00:19:58,960 Speaker 2: Energy Agency has declared today that Iran is not complying 383 00:19:58,960 --> 00:20:02,240 Speaker 2: with the nuclear non pool of vration obligations, the first 384 00:20:02,240 --> 00:20:05,560 Speaker 2: time the UN i a EA has said that in 385 00:20:05,720 --> 00:20:10,159 Speaker 2: twenty years. Clay, So this is the temp is very 386 00:20:10,240 --> 00:20:13,400 Speaker 2: high right now on this and there I've never been 387 00:20:13,440 --> 00:20:16,200 Speaker 2: a Oh Israel cond struck Israel good strike person. It's 388 00:20:16,200 --> 00:20:18,840 Speaker 2: been years and years. This is the first time to 389 00:20:18,960 --> 00:20:22,040 Speaker 2: me that this has been something that could that feels imminent. 390 00:20:22,960 --> 00:20:25,439 Speaker 2: How much do you think, Yes, I agree with all 391 00:20:25,480 --> 00:20:27,359 Speaker 2: of that that you just said, and I think, again, 392 00:20:27,440 --> 00:20:32,000 Speaker 2: this is much of what I was told. The Israelis 393 00:20:32,040 --> 00:20:35,800 Speaker 2: have been pretty open about their desire to hit Ron, 394 00:20:36,200 --> 00:20:39,040 Speaker 2: and I don't think they've hit it at all. There 395 00:20:39,040 --> 00:20:41,399 Speaker 2: have been a lot of reports that net Nyahu has 396 00:20:41,440 --> 00:20:44,920 Speaker 2: been basically seeking Trump's approval to be. 397 00:20:44,920 --> 00:20:45,760 Speaker 1: Able to do this. 398 00:20:45,920 --> 00:20:50,639 Speaker 2: The Israelis believe that they have access and strong intelligence 399 00:20:50,840 --> 00:20:56,959 Speaker 2: on how to cripple the Iranian nuclear interest. Question for you, 400 00:20:57,000 --> 00:20:59,080 Speaker 2: and I don't claim to know the answer, and certainly 401 00:20:59,119 --> 00:21:02,640 Speaker 2: a lot of you can weigh how there is a 402 00:21:02,760 --> 00:21:09,159 Speaker 2: committed part of Trump's base that does not want to 403 00:21:09,200 --> 00:21:13,159 Speaker 2: get involved at all in basically Middle East affairs period, 404 00:21:13,760 --> 00:21:16,080 Speaker 2: and it's not an insignificant amount of people. 405 00:21:16,119 --> 00:21:16,400 Speaker 1: I think. 406 00:21:17,200 --> 00:21:20,199 Speaker 2: I think the Trump base does not want us there. Right, 407 00:21:20,280 --> 00:21:25,440 Speaker 2: There's a difference between wanting US involved and Israel deciding 408 00:21:25,640 --> 00:21:28,440 Speaker 2: to do it. So how does this play out? Because 409 00:21:28,480 --> 00:21:31,560 Speaker 2: I'll tell you and I understand that that there is 410 00:21:31,600 --> 00:21:33,600 Speaker 2: an element out there that disagrees with this. 411 00:21:34,359 --> 00:21:34,840 Speaker 1: I don't. 412 00:21:35,000 --> 00:21:38,640 Speaker 2: I think in general that it is better if Iran 413 00:21:38,720 --> 00:21:40,320 Speaker 2: does not have a nuclear. 414 00:21:39,920 --> 00:21:40,920 Speaker 1: Weapon than if they do. 415 00:21:41,200 --> 00:21:43,760 Speaker 2: I think most people out there listening to us would 416 00:21:43,840 --> 00:21:48,120 Speaker 2: not along with that, because what Iran would do potentially 417 00:21:48,480 --> 00:21:55,280 Speaker 2: with a nuclear weapon is potentially catastrophic. Now, I also 418 00:21:55,480 --> 00:21:59,399 Speaker 2: understand the Iranian perspective, which is, once we have a 419 00:21:59,480 --> 00:22:05,000 Speaker 2: nuclear weapon, our leadership is solidified, nobody is going to 420 00:22:05,040 --> 00:22:07,280 Speaker 2: mess with us. As we were just talking about earlier 421 00:22:07,359 --> 00:22:12,200 Speaker 2: in the in the hour, I think that Trump wants 422 00:22:12,320 --> 00:22:17,280 Speaker 2: to allow Israel to strike. I also think he wants 423 00:22:17,440 --> 00:22:21,199 Speaker 2: Iran to believe that he's willing to let Israel strike 424 00:22:21,560 --> 00:22:24,560 Speaker 2: and is hoping that if that perspective is out there, 425 00:22:24,640 --> 00:22:27,280 Speaker 2: it will lead to an agreement. Here's my ultimate question 426 00:22:27,400 --> 00:22:30,600 Speaker 2: for you. Do you you worked in the CIA, he 427 00:22:30,680 --> 00:22:32,560 Speaker 2: worked on a lot of different issues over the years. 428 00:22:33,200 --> 00:22:34,480 Speaker 1: Do you trust. 429 00:22:34,119 --> 00:22:39,480 Speaker 2: Iran to comply with any agreement they enter into with us? 430 00:22:39,800 --> 00:22:40,840 Speaker 1: No at all? 431 00:22:41,000 --> 00:22:42,960 Speaker 2: Right, So this is and this is always Look, we 432 00:22:43,040 --> 00:22:45,560 Speaker 2: just had the IAEA say they're cheating, and the i 433 00:22:45,760 --> 00:22:48,680 Speaker 2: e A is not some great friend to Israel. So 434 00:22:48,840 --> 00:22:51,760 Speaker 2: this is the reality that they're they're clearly cheating on this, 435 00:22:52,359 --> 00:22:55,960 Speaker 2: and we're trying to make strategic calculations about what the 436 00:22:56,000 --> 00:23:00,919 Speaker 2: Iranian leadership strategy is. And these people all are you know, 437 00:23:01,119 --> 00:23:03,880 Speaker 2: there's always this thing of are The people will say 438 00:23:03,800 --> 00:23:08,760 Speaker 2: they're crazy, and yeah, I mean they operate in a 439 00:23:08,840 --> 00:23:12,520 Speaker 2: completely different moral framework than we do here in the West. 440 00:23:12,600 --> 00:23:13,879 Speaker 1: With what they think is justified. 441 00:23:13,920 --> 00:23:15,639 Speaker 2: I mean, their hatred of Israel and their hatred of 442 00:23:15,640 --> 00:23:19,679 Speaker 2: the Jews is unfortunately a very real thing for the 443 00:23:19,680 --> 00:23:23,200 Speaker 2: Iranian leadership, the Iranian regime, and it guides a lot 444 00:23:23,240 --> 00:23:25,880 Speaker 2: of and dictates a lot of the decisions that they make. 445 00:23:26,000 --> 00:23:28,680 Speaker 2: So so there's a deep immorality there. There's also the 446 00:23:28,720 --> 00:23:33,160 Speaker 2: immorality of the oppressive theocracy that their regime inflicts upon 447 00:23:33,200 --> 00:23:36,080 Speaker 2: its own people. You do not have freedom, You do 448 00:23:36,119 --> 00:23:39,119 Speaker 2: not have you know, any kind of right that we 449 00:23:39,119 --> 00:23:41,000 Speaker 2: would think are standard in America. 450 00:23:41,119 --> 00:23:42,359 Speaker 1: They don't have those in Iran. 451 00:23:43,080 --> 00:23:46,160 Speaker 2: So it's hard for us to they would call this 452 00:23:46,680 --> 00:23:49,840 Speaker 2: in analysis school the agency mirror imaging, right, it's hard 453 00:23:49,880 --> 00:23:53,760 Speaker 2: for us to understand really what their thinking is when 454 00:23:53,840 --> 00:23:57,680 Speaker 2: faced with the highest level of decisions on national security. 455 00:23:58,400 --> 00:24:01,159 Speaker 2: But the Iranians this has always been the problem, and 456 00:24:01,240 --> 00:24:03,960 Speaker 2: this is the problem with the Obama administrations. Iran Deal 457 00:24:04,720 --> 00:24:07,679 Speaker 2: is that the Iranians will always find ways to cheat, 458 00:24:08,560 --> 00:24:12,199 Speaker 2: and people I think are getting tired of having to 459 00:24:12,240 --> 00:24:15,120 Speaker 2: play this game with them. But I think people are 460 00:24:15,119 --> 00:24:17,960 Speaker 2: more tired, and I mean specifically Trump voters are more 461 00:24:18,000 --> 00:24:21,919 Speaker 2: tired of the Middle East. It's not our problem, you know, 462 00:24:21,960 --> 00:24:25,280 Speaker 2: And I'm just I'm vocalizing the feeling that a lot 463 00:24:25,320 --> 00:24:26,959 Speaker 2: of them have. I'm not saying that all of you 464 00:24:27,000 --> 00:24:29,199 Speaker 2: agree with that or but there are a lot of 465 00:24:29,240 --> 00:24:32,080 Speaker 2: people who especially those who fought over there, I think, 466 00:24:32,080 --> 00:24:34,600 Speaker 2: and the families of those who fought over there. We 467 00:24:34,640 --> 00:24:38,600 Speaker 2: don't want to get dragged into something. Now, if Israel 468 00:24:38,640 --> 00:24:41,639 Speaker 2: could strike the facilities and that which they've done, they 469 00:24:41,720 --> 00:24:43,880 Speaker 2: did us in Syria, right, I mean they've hit reactors and. 470 00:24:43,840 --> 00:24:45,560 Speaker 1: It goes, oh, Israel took out the reactor. 471 00:24:45,680 --> 00:24:47,320 Speaker 2: Well, you know, everyone wakes up the next day and 472 00:24:47,359 --> 00:24:48,760 Speaker 2: goes about their lives pretty much. 473 00:24:49,920 --> 00:24:51,520 Speaker 1: I don't think that that's likely to be the. 474 00:24:51,480 --> 00:24:54,040 Speaker 2: Case here because of the centrality of the nuclear program 475 00:24:54,080 --> 00:24:56,760 Speaker 2: to the Iranian regime and the Iranian people supporting them 476 00:24:56,760 --> 00:24:57,000 Speaker 2: in this. 477 00:24:57,400 --> 00:25:00,639 Speaker 1: But maybe there's a way. Maybe, but it wouldn't be. 478 00:25:00,920 --> 00:25:03,720 Speaker 2: As much blowback as we would foresee, what we don't 479 00:25:03,760 --> 00:25:06,680 Speaker 2: want is we have to be deploying US troops in 480 00:25:06,680 --> 00:25:09,320 Speaker 2: the Middle East to protect our assets, to protect our people. 481 00:25:09,920 --> 00:25:13,480 Speaker 2: And that's where I think this is a very difficult 482 00:25:13,520 --> 00:25:17,080 Speaker 2: calculation that is being made here, numerous difficult cut If 483 00:25:17,119 --> 00:25:22,040 Speaker 2: you told me that Israel can successfully strike Iran and 484 00:25:22,280 --> 00:25:26,680 Speaker 2: effectively end their ability in the next decade or more 485 00:25:26,760 --> 00:25:30,040 Speaker 2: to pursue nuclear weapons, I would be in favor of it. 486 00:25:31,000 --> 00:25:33,040 Speaker 2: I would, And I understand some of you out there 487 00:25:33,080 --> 00:25:34,679 Speaker 2: are going to say, hey, I don't want to do 488 00:25:34,760 --> 00:25:38,320 Speaker 2: anything again. This is Israel striking If they could do it, 489 00:25:38,359 --> 00:25:41,240 Speaker 2: I would be in favor of it. I actually also 490 00:25:41,359 --> 00:25:47,640 Speaker 2: believe that behind the scenes, Saudi Arabia, the UAE, Qatar, 491 00:25:49,160 --> 00:25:52,879 Speaker 2: maybe even Syria. Now I think there are a lot 492 00:25:53,000 --> 00:25:57,720 Speaker 2: of Middle Eastern interest parts of Iraq that would also 493 00:25:57,880 --> 00:26:00,639 Speaker 2: support it, not publicly because they can't have be seen 494 00:26:00,680 --> 00:26:04,560 Speaker 2: as supporting Israel, but they don't want a stronger Iran 495 00:26:04,760 --> 00:26:06,959 Speaker 2: in the Middle East because of the power and what 496 00:26:07,000 --> 00:26:09,359 Speaker 2: it does in the Arab States. Everybody who's dealt with 497 00:26:09,760 --> 00:26:11,760 Speaker 2: the Iraq issue, who fought over their nose. 498 00:26:12,160 --> 00:26:15,439 Speaker 1: The Sunni Shia thing is a big deal, okay. 499 00:26:15,480 --> 00:26:19,080 Speaker 2: The the schism within the Islamic faith and the way 500 00:26:19,160 --> 00:26:21,600 Speaker 2: that that plays out in Mid East politics. I mean 501 00:26:21,640 --> 00:26:24,720 Speaker 2: you can see who who is Iran working with and 502 00:26:24,720 --> 00:26:29,879 Speaker 2: who are Iran's allies, various Shia proxies. Now, Iran has 503 00:26:29,880 --> 00:26:32,760 Speaker 2: also had close relations with Hamas, which is a predominantly 504 00:26:32,800 --> 00:26:38,679 Speaker 2: Sunni organization, but generally speaking Hesbulah Shia, right who this Shia. 505 00:26:38,800 --> 00:26:42,280 Speaker 2: You can see these these places where the Iranians have 506 00:26:42,320 --> 00:26:45,600 Speaker 2: been able to particularly dig in uh we know, put 507 00:26:45,640 --> 00:26:49,040 Speaker 2: their put their tentacles to work. That has been very 508 00:26:49,119 --> 00:26:53,600 Speaker 2: much along these religious lines. So that means, you know, 509 00:26:53,640 --> 00:26:59,040 Speaker 2: the Saudis don't want to have an Iranian Shiah combatants 510 00:26:59,320 --> 00:27:01,520 Speaker 2: getting strong on their hands. So yeah, I think you're 511 00:27:01,560 --> 00:27:03,080 Speaker 2: right that there'd be a lot of behind the scenes 512 00:27:03,119 --> 00:27:06,040 Speaker 2: support for them, and they're not going to say it publicly, 513 00:27:06,080 --> 00:27:08,440 Speaker 2: but that they might support it privately, which is part 514 00:27:08,480 --> 00:27:10,399 Speaker 2: of what the Trump team is doing. 515 00:27:11,080 --> 00:27:14,160 Speaker 1: Here's the other thing, and you can go look this up. 516 00:27:15,480 --> 00:27:20,480 Speaker 2: Iran before the Ayatola, the revolution in the nineteen seventies. 517 00:27:21,440 --> 00:27:23,000 Speaker 1: Look, this was a. 518 00:27:22,960 --> 00:27:25,760 Speaker 2: Country that Dixon high heels and miniskirt That's what I'm 519 00:27:25,760 --> 00:27:28,359 Speaker 2: talking about. You can go find these videos of Iran, 520 00:27:28,400 --> 00:27:30,800 Speaker 2: and I know there's actually probably a decent amount of 521 00:27:30,840 --> 00:27:34,480 Speaker 2: people with Persian backgrounds with Iranian backgrounds that are listening 522 00:27:34,560 --> 00:27:36,359 Speaker 2: to us right now because they live in the United 523 00:27:36,400 --> 00:27:39,320 Speaker 2: States now they may still have family over there. I 524 00:27:39,320 --> 00:27:44,560 Speaker 2: think a huge portion of the Iranian population hates the Ayatola, 525 00:27:45,240 --> 00:27:49,120 Speaker 2: And if I think there's some calculus here, It's hard 526 00:27:49,119 --> 00:27:51,920 Speaker 2: to know exactly how all this plays out, but if 527 00:27:52,040 --> 00:27:57,120 Speaker 2: Israel successfully struck the Ayatola, Komeni is what eighty three 528 00:27:57,240 --> 00:28:00,760 Speaker 2: or eighty four, I mean, he's very old and at 529 00:28:00,800 --> 00:28:03,439 Speaker 2: some point in time whether this is going to remain 530 00:28:03,720 --> 00:28:08,920 Speaker 2: effectively a Muslim theocracy after he is gone, those questions 531 00:28:08,960 --> 00:28:12,200 Speaker 2: are up in the air. If they don't have nuclear power, 532 00:28:12,400 --> 00:28:15,200 Speaker 2: I think it weakens massively the government in a position 533 00:28:15,280 --> 00:28:18,160 Speaker 2: right now. They used to have Syria as a proxy, 534 00:28:18,400 --> 00:28:20,920 Speaker 2: they used to have Hesbola as a proxy, they used 535 00:28:20,960 --> 00:28:24,120 Speaker 2: to have Hamas as a proxy. Israel's perspective on this 536 00:28:24,320 --> 00:28:28,280 Speaker 2: is Iran has never been weaker, and if we hit 537 00:28:28,359 --> 00:28:33,439 Speaker 2: them now, maybe possibly that destabilizes things enough for the 538 00:28:33,520 --> 00:28:37,359 Speaker 2: Ayatola that in the future, as his reign comes to 539 00:28:37,440 --> 00:28:40,760 Speaker 2: a close, maybe Iran can go back to something more 540 00:28:40,840 --> 00:28:44,080 Speaker 2: like it was in the nineteen seventies before the revolution 541 00:28:44,640 --> 00:28:47,920 Speaker 2: sort of brought down the veil of an absence of 542 00:28:48,000 --> 00:28:51,480 Speaker 2: human rights and descended Iran into a country. 543 00:28:51,120 --> 00:28:55,080 Speaker 1: Buck They can't even keep the power running. 544 00:28:55,400 --> 00:28:58,000 Speaker 2: I mean they had to start turning power off by 545 00:28:58,000 --> 00:29:01,240 Speaker 2: two o'clock in the afternoon. People are fed up with 546 00:29:01,520 --> 00:29:04,960 Speaker 2: just the government's ability to actually allow them to have 547 00:29:05,080 --> 00:29:08,239 Speaker 2: normal lives. Well, and this is this is where I 548 00:29:08,280 --> 00:29:12,520 Speaker 2: think you can see as you work through this. If 549 00:29:12,520 --> 00:29:14,920 Speaker 2: the US is not pulled into this, if we don't 550 00:29:14,960 --> 00:29:19,760 Speaker 2: have US troops or US personnel that are at immediate 551 00:29:19,880 --> 00:29:21,960 Speaker 2: well they're going to be at risk if there's a strike, 552 00:29:22,080 --> 00:29:26,160 Speaker 2: But if we can mitigate that risk enough, the downside 553 00:29:26,280 --> 00:29:31,840 Speaker 2: of striking these facilities is what. And the downside of 554 00:29:31,920 --> 00:29:34,960 Speaker 2: allowing the Iranians to continue to build this capability, which 555 00:29:34,960 --> 00:29:38,960 Speaker 2: even the IAEA says they are doing and violation of 556 00:29:39,000 --> 00:29:42,120 Speaker 2: agreements that they have signed, is what. And this is 557 00:29:42,120 --> 00:29:44,560 Speaker 2: what you have to balance out. For me, it's a 558 00:29:44,560 --> 00:29:47,640 Speaker 2: little bit like the way I feel about Ukraine, which 559 00:29:47,680 --> 00:29:52,520 Speaker 2: is there's there's decisions, there's there's there's back and forth 560 00:29:52,560 --> 00:29:55,920 Speaker 2: on on what the best path forward is. But my guiding, 561 00:29:56,320 --> 00:29:59,360 Speaker 2: my uh you know, north star on this if you will, 562 00:30:00,160 --> 00:30:03,920 Speaker 2: is I don't want American troops involved, and I don't 563 00:30:03,920 --> 00:30:06,280 Speaker 2: want the American people fighting this war. I don't want 564 00:30:06,280 --> 00:30:08,200 Speaker 2: them fighting in Ukraine. I don't want this to be 565 00:30:08,240 --> 00:30:09,840 Speaker 2: our fight in Ukraine. I don't want this to be 566 00:30:09,880 --> 00:30:12,080 Speaker 2: our fighter in the least. If Israel wants to take 567 00:30:12,120 --> 00:30:15,840 Speaker 2: this thing on and it's gonna be Israel's fight, that 568 00:30:15,960 --> 00:30:20,120 Speaker 2: makes it an easier calculation from my perspective, although none 569 00:30:20,120 --> 00:30:24,680 Speaker 2: of these calculations are actually easy, no doubt, and this 570 00:30:24,720 --> 00:30:26,120 Speaker 2: is gonna be something I think that plays out in 571 00:30:26,120 --> 00:30:28,320 Speaker 2: the next couple of days, whether or not we get 572 00:30:28,360 --> 00:30:29,120 Speaker 2: an attack or not. 573 00:30:29,280 --> 00:30:30,600 Speaker 1: Father's Day this weekend. 574 00:30:30,920 --> 00:30:33,400 Speaker 2: Here's a gift idea that comes from Cardia by Dad, 575 00:30:33,440 --> 00:30:35,560 Speaker 2: the cardio Mobile six L.

And I was like, okay, 624 00:32:48,600 --> 00:32:51,200 Speaker 2: so that is what happened. Yeah, they were sympathetic, but 625 00:32:51,560 --> 00:32:54,360 Speaker 2: there was no getting around it. I've got my passport, 626 00:32:54,480 --> 00:32:57,760 Speaker 2: so I have it in my jacket pocket now, so 627 00:32:57,880 --> 00:33:00,440 Speaker 2: I could theoretically be able to get in. I thought 628 00:33:00,440 --> 00:33:03,640 Speaker 2: about maybe just trying to do a flute solo. I 629 00:33:03,680 --> 00:33:06,160 Speaker 2: was willing to do whatever it might take less if 630 00:33:06,160 --> 00:33:08,080 Speaker 2: that was going to get it done. Shirtless flute solo 631 00:33:08,120 --> 00:33:10,200 Speaker 2: out of the hot sun and the DC streets. Clay 632 00:33:10,240 --> 00:33:12,720 Speaker 2: was willing to do whatever it takes, but it just 633 00:33:12,720 --> 00:33:17,120 Speaker 2: didn't happen unfortunately. I just how much right now? Have 634 00:33:17,200 --> 00:33:19,760 Speaker 2: you tried to ever kick a football through the uprights? 635 00:33:19,960 --> 00:33:22,680 Speaker 1: Yeah? Jay Feeley coming? I actually how far do you 636 00:33:22,720 --> 00:33:23,840 Speaker 1: think you could do it? Right now? 637 00:33:23,920 --> 00:33:26,520 Speaker 2: If you know you warmed up your hammies and your quads, 638 00:33:26,680 --> 00:33:29,280 Speaker 2: you know, if you twenty yards twenty Yeah, I was gonna. 639 00:33:29,280 --> 00:33:30,720 Speaker 2: I think I think I could do a twenty yard 640 00:33:31,000 --> 00:33:33,480 Speaker 2: It's a fun Again. I don't want anybody to tear 641 00:33:33,600 --> 00:33:37,040 Speaker 2: their groin or injure themselves, but there is a fun 642 00:33:37,240 --> 00:33:40,720 Speaker 2: chowel is growing, especially you get you get in your forties. 643 00:33:40,720 --> 00:33:44,200 Speaker 2: The groin poll yeah, that is not the not the 644 00:33:44,280 --> 00:33:46,480 Speaker 2: area you want to be having issues with. But there's 645 00:33:46,520 --> 00:33:49,640 Speaker 2: a fun one hundred yard challenge that I that I 646 00:33:49,760 --> 00:33:50,920 Speaker 2: used to do back in the day. 647 00:33:50,960 --> 00:33:51,920 Speaker 1: Most people can't do it. 648 00:33:52,440 --> 00:33:55,440 Speaker 2: Uh. And field goal kicking and or punting is really 649 00:33:55,520 --> 00:33:57,760 Speaker 2: the key. But if you start at the goal line 650 00:33:57,760 --> 00:34:01,120 Speaker 2: of a football field and you row the football as 651 00:34:01,120 --> 00:34:04,440 Speaker 2: far as you can and then wherever the football hits, 652 00:34:04,480 --> 00:34:06,280 Speaker 2: not where it lands like you don't get the benefit 653 00:34:06,320 --> 00:34:08,480 Speaker 2: of like the twenty yard role or something you go 654 00:34:08,560 --> 00:34:10,760 Speaker 2: to where it lands. So for a lot of people, 655 00:34:10,800 --> 00:34:13,200 Speaker 2: forty yards or so beyond. If you have a decent arm, 656 00:34:13,200 --> 00:34:15,239 Speaker 2: you can throw football forty yards. Some people can throw 657 00:34:15,239 --> 00:34:18,480 Speaker 2: it farther, but forty yards decent decent forty to fifty 658 00:34:18,520 --> 00:34:20,760 Speaker 2: for most people with a decent arm. Then you punt, 659 00:34:21,719 --> 00:34:24,360 Speaker 2: and then you do the field goal. You punt wherever 660 00:34:24,400 --> 00:34:27,040 Speaker 2: the ball hits, and then can you make a field goal? 661 00:34:27,080 --> 00:34:30,799 Speaker 2: So it's basically a hyeah almost like a triathlon for 662 00:34:30,960 --> 00:34:33,880 Speaker 2: foot football. Most people cannot do it, but it is 663 00:34:33,920 --> 00:34:36,359 Speaker 2: a fun challenge if you got your kids getting out 664 00:34:36,360 --> 00:34:39,640 Speaker 2: of school for summer, or you're listening to us and 665 00:34:39,680 --> 00:34:43,120 Speaker 2: you're a guy who's in a somewhat decent shape. It 666 00:34:43,239 --> 00:34:44,880 Speaker 2: sounds like a lot of people are listening to it 667 00:34:44,920 --> 00:34:46,319 Speaker 2: right now and they're like, oh, I could do that. 668 00:34:46,400 --> 00:34:49,359 Speaker 1: It comes down really to how well you can tell you. 669 00:34:49,520 --> 00:34:53,080 Speaker 2: I can do most sports things at a reasonable level, 670 00:34:53,160 --> 00:34:56,440 Speaker 2: and some at like a considerably above average level. But 671 00:34:56,600 --> 00:34:59,040 Speaker 2: I would say, Clay, and I mean this in all humility. 672 00:34:59,120 --> 00:35:02,920 Speaker 2: I think my football throw is unfortunately equivalent to your 673 00:35:02,920 --> 00:35:05,960 Speaker 2: golf swing. How you think you could throw it, not 674 00:35:06,239 --> 00:35:08,960 Speaker 2: my foot I can. I never played football grow up. 675 00:35:09,000 --> 00:35:10,680 Speaker 2: That was the one sport that you know, we just 676 00:35:10,680 --> 00:35:13,920 Speaker 2: didn't play it in New York City. Basketball, soccer, tennis, 677 00:35:13,960 --> 00:35:15,080 Speaker 2: you know, different things like that. 678 00:35:15,200 --> 00:35:15,640 Speaker 1: I played. 679 00:35:16,640 --> 00:35:18,719 Speaker 2: Even lacrosse in the New York area is really big. 680 00:35:18,760 --> 00:35:20,719 Speaker 2: You just don't get that's more than the sub. But 681 00:35:20,800 --> 00:35:23,360 Speaker 2: no baseball, Oh, baseball. I played baseball growing up to No. 682 00:35:23,440 --> 00:35:25,480 Speaker 2: I can throw a baseball. I'm an American play let's 683 00:35:25,480 --> 00:35:26,800 Speaker 2: get real, all right, I can throw I was actually 684 00:35:26,800 --> 00:35:28,960 Speaker 2: pretty decent at baseball. I just never liked it that much. 685 00:35:29,160 --> 00:35:30,880 Speaker 2: There was like, oh, just like the ball is not 686 00:35:30,880 --> 00:35:31,279 Speaker 2: gonna hit you. 687 00:35:31,360 --> 00:35:31,920 Speaker 1: I'm like, I don't know. 688 00:35:32,040 --> 00:35:33,719 Speaker 2: I've seen people get wrecked by that ball. Like I 689 00:35:33,719 --> 00:35:35,399 Speaker 2: don't think I want to get hit. But I could 690 00:35:35,440 --> 00:35:37,160 Speaker 2: throw a baseball. Do with that, But I cannot throw 691 00:35:37,200 --> 00:35:39,239 Speaker 2: in a football. I can do it, but that's that's 692 00:35:39,239 --> 00:35:40,799 Speaker 2: something that I need. I need some work on. So 693 00:35:40,840 --> 00:35:43,120 Speaker 2: maybe Jay Feeley can give you some tips. I was fifty. 694 00:35:43,160 --> 00:35:44,719 Speaker 2: I was a fifty yard guy. I could throw a 695 00:35:44,719 --> 00:35:46,960 Speaker 2: football fifty yards. I don't want to sound like Napoleon 696 00:35:47,040 --> 00:35:49,560 Speaker 2: Dynamite here. I could throw football fifty yards. 697 00:35:49,560 --> 00:35:52,320 Speaker 1: I think I heard fifty yards play they call him easily. 698 00:35:52,480 --> 00:35:56,120 Speaker 2: Now a forty yard guy, I would one hundred percent. 699 00:35:56,120 --> 00:35:59,520 Speaker 2: I can throw football forty yards. Punting and kicking a 700 00:35:59,560 --> 00:36:04,000 Speaker 2: football is way harder than people think, for sure. Yeah, 701 00:36:04,040 --> 00:36:08,360 Speaker 2: so most people cannot do that. Lasers are out, you 702 00:36:08,400 --> 00:36:12,720 Speaker 2: know Einhorn Fink goal with Einhorn by the way, speaking 703 00:36:12,760 --> 00:36:16,520 Speaker 2: of busy, we were talking about the schedule and everything else, 704 00:36:16,640 --> 00:36:18,080 Speaker 2: running around the fact that I couldn't get in. 705 00:36:18,640 --> 00:36:20,520 Speaker 1: You know what I needed this morning.
