1 00:00:02,800 --> 00:00:07,120 Speaker 1: Okay, let's have a talk about Iran. John Karney is 2 00:00:07,120 --> 00:00:09,920 Speaker 1: going to join us discuss the economic stakes of this. 3 00:00:10,080 --> 00:00:12,800 Speaker 1: I'm sure Lee Smith has many strong feelings all that 4 00:00:12,840 --> 00:00:25,360 Speaker 1: and more coming up, and I'm right, all right. So 5 00:00:26,200 --> 00:00:29,600 Speaker 1: it's been forty eight hours now of all this Iran 6 00:00:29,800 --> 00:00:34,159 Speaker 1: stuff going on, and I'm sure you've experienced the exact 7 00:00:34,200 --> 00:00:37,080 Speaker 1: same thing I experienced for the last forty eight hours. 8 00:00:37,240 --> 00:00:41,080 Speaker 1: Here's something for you for I think, like ten hours yesterday, 9 00:00:41,360 --> 00:00:43,279 Speaker 1: I just shut my phone off and put it in 10 00:00:43,320 --> 00:00:46,680 Speaker 1: a drawer because every single person with my phone number 11 00:00:46,720 --> 00:00:48,560 Speaker 1: is texting me, what do you think? What do you think? 12 00:00:48,600 --> 00:00:50,000 Speaker 1: What do you think? Well, here's what I think of 13 00:00:50,000 --> 00:00:53,200 Speaker 1: a bit. Okay, So I decided I wanted to wait 14 00:00:53,280 --> 00:00:55,840 Speaker 1: until now to lay it all out and let me 15 00:00:55,880 --> 00:01:00,320 Speaker 1: explain why to everything else in a moment. There is 16 00:01:00,360 --> 00:01:02,760 Speaker 1: an old, old quote, and I'll be honest with you. 17 00:01:02,840 --> 00:01:05,800 Speaker 1: I spent some time trying to track down who said it. 18 00:01:05,880 --> 00:01:08,720 Speaker 1: The quotes's attributed to about a thousand different people, So 19 00:01:08,760 --> 00:01:12,240 Speaker 1: who cares who said it? It is truth or it 20 00:01:12,280 --> 00:01:16,679 Speaker 1: is true. In war, the first casualty is the truth. 21 00:01:17,640 --> 00:01:20,120 Speaker 1: This is not unique to the modern era. This is 22 00:01:20,160 --> 00:01:23,280 Speaker 1: not unique to the cell phone era of social media, 23 00:01:23,560 --> 00:01:29,600 Speaker 1: things like that, since war has begun, everyone lies when 24 00:01:29,600 --> 00:01:33,600 Speaker 1: it begins, and there are so many different reasons for 25 00:01:33,640 --> 00:01:36,080 Speaker 1: the lies. You want to cover things up for the enemy, 26 00:01:36,120 --> 00:01:37,679 Speaker 1: you don't want to let them know what you're doing. 27 00:01:37,800 --> 00:01:40,880 Speaker 1: You want your own people to feel better about things, 28 00:01:40,920 --> 00:01:44,440 Speaker 1: you want the enemy to feel worse about things. There 29 00:01:44,480 --> 00:01:48,120 Speaker 1: are all kinds of reasons for it. But whenever any 30 00:01:48,200 --> 00:01:52,080 Speaker 1: kind of war has kicked off, everybody is lying at 31 00:01:52,120 --> 00:01:55,320 Speaker 1: all times. The side you're rooting for is lying, the 32 00:01:55,360 --> 00:01:58,160 Speaker 1: side you're rooting against is lying. They're lying for different 33 00:01:58,200 --> 00:02:01,880 Speaker 1: reasons that everybody is lying about everything at all times. 34 00:02:01,920 --> 00:02:04,520 Speaker 1: So let me before we get into everything Trump's statement 35 00:02:04,560 --> 00:02:06,559 Speaker 1: and my thoughts on all this, let me go ahead 36 00:02:06,600 --> 00:02:13,480 Speaker 1: and open up with this. Just calm down. You don't 37 00:02:13,600 --> 00:02:17,240 Speaker 1: have to go online and believe every video or picture. 38 00:02:17,520 --> 00:02:20,799 Speaker 1: There will be so much bad information floating around out there. 39 00:02:21,360 --> 00:02:24,119 Speaker 1: You don't have to go online and vomit out every 40 00:02:24,120 --> 00:02:27,200 Speaker 1: single feeling. You can. Obviously, you're your own person. You're 41 00:02:27,200 --> 00:02:31,680 Speaker 1: free to do. So you can sit back and watch 42 00:02:32,560 --> 00:02:38,960 Speaker 1: and wait, and may I suggest pray. These are dangerous times. 43 00:02:39,040 --> 00:02:42,359 Speaker 1: All times are dangerous times. But it's a little spicy 44 00:02:42,360 --> 00:02:45,880 Speaker 1: out there. Now for the updates. Here's what Donald Trump. 45 00:02:45,960 --> 00:02:48,920 Speaker 1: Donald Trump got up today. I would highly recommend you 46 00:02:49,000 --> 00:02:50,720 Speaker 1: watch all eight minutes of it. I'm not going to 47 00:02:50,760 --> 00:02:53,680 Speaker 1: play you all eight minutes here, but Donald Trump today 48 00:02:53,720 --> 00:02:55,560 Speaker 1: got up and announced the attack. 49 00:02:56,280 --> 00:02:59,880 Speaker 2: Our objective is to defend the American people by elimin 50 00:03:00,960 --> 00:03:06,720 Speaker 2: eminent threats from the Iranian regime, a vicious group of 51 00:03:07,280 --> 00:03:13,560 Speaker 2: very hard, terrible people. It's menacing activities directly in danger 52 00:03:13,680 --> 00:03:17,680 Speaker 2: the United States, our troops, our bases overseas, and our 53 00:03:17,800 --> 00:03:21,919 Speaker 2: allies throughout the world. For forty seven years, the Iranian 54 00:03:21,960 --> 00:03:26,560 Speaker 2: regime has chanted death to America and waged an unending 55 00:03:26,680 --> 00:03:31,880 Speaker 2: campaign of bloodshed and mass murder, targeting the United States, 56 00:03:31,960 --> 00:03:35,400 Speaker 2: our troops, and the innocent people in many, many countries. 57 00:03:35,800 --> 00:03:38,640 Speaker 2: It has always been the policy of the United States, 58 00:03:39,200 --> 00:03:44,360 Speaker 2: in particular my administration, that this terrorist regime can never 59 00:03:44,480 --> 00:03:48,360 Speaker 2: have a nuclear weapon. I'll say it again, they can 60 00:03:48,480 --> 00:03:53,840 Speaker 2: never have a nuclear weapon. They've rejected every opportunity to 61 00:03:53,920 --> 00:03:58,760 Speaker 2: renounce their nuclear ambitions, and we can't take it anymore. 62 00:04:01,480 --> 00:04:06,560 Speaker 1: Okay, we are tired of this regime. Forty seven years, 63 00:04:08,200 --> 00:04:12,360 Speaker 1: they're chanting death to America. They're killing our troops. It's 64 00:04:12,360 --> 00:04:15,520 Speaker 1: time to take them out. Also, we have to take 65 00:04:15,560 --> 00:04:19,279 Speaker 1: out their nuclear weapons. It's what he said. Here is 66 00:04:20,480 --> 00:04:23,359 Speaker 1: what he said about objectives. And I think this part 67 00:04:23,400 --> 00:04:27,120 Speaker 1: is particularly important because, like I said, I spent the 68 00:04:27,120 --> 00:04:30,719 Speaker 1: weekend not drowning in social media videos on my phone 69 00:04:30,760 --> 00:04:34,120 Speaker 1: and vomiting out my feelings, just trying to talk to people. 70 00:04:34,520 --> 00:04:37,960 Speaker 1: Went out to dinner with some people, just had talking 71 00:04:37,960 --> 00:04:41,320 Speaker 1: to people. What do people think? I got a lot 72 00:04:41,320 --> 00:04:45,240 Speaker 1: of different perspectives on how normal people are feeling about this. 73 00:04:45,440 --> 00:04:48,080 Speaker 1: I got a lot of rah, rah, let's kill them 74 00:04:48,080 --> 00:04:50,520 Speaker 1: all that God sort them out. I got a lot 75 00:04:50,560 --> 00:04:54,440 Speaker 1: of Hey, I'm cautious. I got a lot of I'm 76 00:04:54,440 --> 00:04:57,360 Speaker 1: not really sure why. In fact, I had many people 77 00:04:57,400 --> 00:04:59,960 Speaker 1: ask me why are we why and not even critic 78 00:05:00,240 --> 00:05:03,120 Speaker 1: they just wanted to know why. All right, Well, here's 79 00:05:03,200 --> 00:05:07,640 Speaker 1: the commander in chief talking about the objectives. What are 80 00:05:07,640 --> 00:05:08,559 Speaker 1: we trying to do? Here? 81 00:05:09,000 --> 00:05:15,320 Speaker 2: Objectives are clear. First, we're destroying orens missile capabilities and 82 00:05:15,360 --> 00:05:18,000 Speaker 2: you see that happening on an hourly basis, and their 83 00:05:18,000 --> 00:05:21,760 Speaker 2: capacity to produce brand new ones and pretty good ones 84 00:05:21,800 --> 00:05:26,680 Speaker 2: they make. Second, we're annihilating their navy. We've knocked out 85 00:05:26,800 --> 00:05:30,839 Speaker 2: already ten ships. They're at the bottom of the sea. Third, 86 00:05:30,920 --> 00:05:35,400 Speaker 2: we're ensuring that the world's number one sponsor of terra 87 00:05:36,279 --> 00:05:38,960 Speaker 2: can never obtain a nuclear weapon. Never going to have 88 00:05:38,960 --> 00:05:41,279 Speaker 2: a nuclear weapon. I said that from the beginning, they're 89 00:05:41,279 --> 00:05:43,880 Speaker 2: never going to have a nuclear weapon. They were in 90 00:05:43,920 --> 00:05:48,320 Speaker 2: the road to getting one legitimately through a deal that 91 00:05:48,520 --> 00:05:54,040 Speaker 2: was signed foolishly by our country. And finally, we're ensuring 92 00:05:54,080 --> 00:05:57,960 Speaker 2: that the Iranian regime cannot continue to arm fund and 93 00:05:58,480 --> 00:06:03,800 Speaker 2: direct terrorists are armies outside of their borders. And we 94 00:06:03,920 --> 00:06:05,960 Speaker 2: thought we had a deal, but then they backed out, 95 00:06:06,920 --> 00:06:08,680 Speaker 2: and they came back, and we thought we had a deal, 96 00:06:08,720 --> 00:06:10,479 Speaker 2: and they backed out. I said, you can't deal with 97 00:06:10,520 --> 00:06:13,000 Speaker 2: these people. You got to do it the right way. 98 00:06:15,400 --> 00:06:21,479 Speaker 1: Okay, Now let's fast forward to the losses already. Let's 99 00:06:21,560 --> 00:06:23,520 Speaker 1: do keep this in mind. This is why we also 100 00:06:23,640 --> 00:06:28,919 Speaker 1: need to pray. There have already been losses. We've already 101 00:06:28,960 --> 00:06:34,360 Speaker 1: had young people who serve in our military. Their families 102 00:06:34,400 --> 00:06:36,760 Speaker 1: maybe as we speak, are getting the knock on the 103 00:06:36,839 --> 00:06:40,640 Speaker 1: door that every family was someone serving dreads. He was 104 00:06:40,760 --> 00:06:42,000 Speaker 1: Donald Trump talking about it. 105 00:06:42,680 --> 00:06:47,640 Speaker 2: US military service members have been killed in action. As 106 00:06:47,680 --> 00:06:51,760 Speaker 2: one nation, we grieve for the true American patriots who 107 00:06:51,800 --> 00:06:56,840 Speaker 2: have made the ultimate sacrifice for our nation, even as 108 00:06:56,880 --> 00:07:01,080 Speaker 2: we continue the righteous mission for which they gave their lives. 109 00:07:02,200 --> 00:07:05,040 Speaker 2: We pray for the full recovery of the wounded and 110 00:07:05,160 --> 00:07:09,440 Speaker 2: send our immense love and eternal gratitude to the families 111 00:07:09,480 --> 00:07:14,200 Speaker 2: of the fallen. And sadly, there will likely be more 112 00:07:15,280 --> 00:07:20,760 Speaker 2: before it ends. That's the way. It is likely be more. 113 00:07:20,800 --> 00:07:25,040 Speaker 2: But will do everything possible where that won't be the case. 114 00:07:25,600 --> 00:07:29,080 Speaker 2: But America will avenge their deaths and deliver the most 115 00:07:29,520 --> 00:07:32,960 Speaker 2: punishing blow to the terrorists who have waged war against 116 00:07:33,560 --> 00:07:35,240 Speaker 2: basically civilization. 117 00:07:38,400 --> 00:07:42,080 Speaker 1: Right, Please say a prayer for those families, the ones 118 00:07:42,080 --> 00:07:45,440 Speaker 1: we've already lost, that the ones to come, they need 119 00:07:45,480 --> 00:07:49,200 Speaker 1: to be covered in your prayer. Their unimaginable anguish now 120 00:07:50,400 --> 00:07:55,680 Speaker 1: the Trump administration, they are well aware of the criticisms 121 00:07:55,840 --> 00:08:01,800 Speaker 1: of past American foreign policy had a problem in this country, 122 00:08:01,800 --> 00:08:05,600 Speaker 1: a bad problem. Fifty years. We've had this problem war 123 00:08:06,160 --> 00:08:09,600 Speaker 1: since Vietnam. We've had this problem where we get mired 124 00:08:09,720 --> 00:08:15,760 Speaker 1: in places without crystal clear objectives and then we can't 125 00:08:15,800 --> 00:08:19,239 Speaker 1: seem to get out. It's easy to drop a couple bombs, 126 00:08:19,240 --> 00:08:25,880 Speaker 1: It's easy you start intertwining yourself in a region. Maybe 127 00:08:25,920 --> 00:08:29,560 Speaker 1: even you started out with the right idea, it's just 128 00:08:29,720 --> 00:08:33,360 Speaker 1: difficult for a variety of reasons to get out. The 129 00:08:33,360 --> 00:08:37,240 Speaker 1: Trump administration is very clearly aware of this. Secretary of 130 00:08:37,320 --> 00:08:40,520 Speaker 1: War Pete Hegseth got up today tried to assure the 131 00:08:40,559 --> 00:08:42,360 Speaker 1: American people that would not be the case. 132 00:08:42,480 --> 00:08:48,440 Speaker 3: Here to the media outlets and political left screaming endless wars, stop, 133 00:08:49,400 --> 00:08:52,200 Speaker 3: this is not a wreck. This is not endless. 134 00:08:52,960 --> 00:08:54,280 Speaker 4: I was there for both. 135 00:08:55,120 --> 00:08:58,160 Speaker 3: Our generation knows better, and so does this president. 136 00:08:59,160 --> 00:09:00,000 Speaker 4: He called the last. 137 00:08:59,800 --> 00:09:03,439 Speaker 3: Two years of nation building wars dumb, and he's right. 138 00:09:04,600 --> 00:09:06,360 Speaker 4: This is the opposite. 139 00:09:07,200 --> 00:09:12,320 Speaker 3: This operation is a clear, devastating, decisive mission. Destroy the 140 00:09:12,360 --> 00:09:16,120 Speaker 3: missile threat, destroy the navy, no nukes. Turns out, the 141 00:09:16,120 --> 00:09:20,280 Speaker 3: regime who chanted death to America and death to Israel 142 00:09:21,400 --> 00:09:27,360 Speaker 3: was gifted death from America and death from Israel. This 143 00:09:27,400 --> 00:09:31,120 Speaker 3: is not a so called regime change war, but the 144 00:09:31,120 --> 00:09:36,160 Speaker 3: regime sure did change and the world is better off 145 00:09:36,200 --> 00:09:36,480 Speaker 3: for it. 146 00:09:39,559 --> 00:09:43,880 Speaker 1: Okay, now, maybe you've already picked up on my tone 147 00:09:44,120 --> 00:09:47,679 Speaker 1: from now, but here's where I stand on all this. 148 00:09:48,080 --> 00:09:52,000 Speaker 1: First of all, it's okay, however you feel about it. 149 00:09:52,960 --> 00:09:58,480 Speaker 1: Maybe you rightfully know that Iran has been an evil 150 00:09:58,559 --> 00:10:01,840 Speaker 1: regime killing peace people for a very long time, and 151 00:10:01,960 --> 00:10:05,200 Speaker 1: maybe you think, good, screw them, kill them all. They've 152 00:10:05,200 --> 00:10:10,360 Speaker 1: got it coming. Totally understandable. Maybe you are quite jaded 153 00:10:10,440 --> 00:10:14,520 Speaker 1: on American form policy, America getting involved in places that 154 00:10:14,559 --> 00:10:21,160 Speaker 1: don't necessarily seem to be for America. Again, all completely understandable. 155 00:10:21,160 --> 00:10:24,560 Speaker 1: All these things are understandable. Here's where I stand on 156 00:10:24,600 --> 00:10:29,400 Speaker 1: the whole thing. Any population of any country at any 157 00:10:29,480 --> 00:10:34,520 Speaker 1: point in history, here's what the regime in charge knows, 158 00:10:34,840 --> 00:10:37,800 Speaker 1: or at least should know, and the Trump administration at 159 00:10:37,880 --> 00:10:43,600 Speaker 1: least appears to know this. Depending on the circumstances of 160 00:10:43,640 --> 00:10:47,360 Speaker 1: the country at the time war is kicked off, there 161 00:10:47,720 --> 00:10:54,280 Speaker 1: is always a finite amount of tolerance the public will 162 00:10:54,320 --> 00:10:56,240 Speaker 1: have for it. And it's gonna do. Like I said, 163 00:10:56,280 --> 00:10:59,600 Speaker 1: it depends on a variety of circumstances, the end, the enemy, 164 00:11:00,320 --> 00:11:03,760 Speaker 1: what the economy is like. There's a million different factors 165 00:11:03,800 --> 00:11:06,000 Speaker 1: that play into that. But one thing it is not 166 00:11:06,120 --> 00:11:09,760 Speaker 1: up for debate. The public's tolerance for this kind of 167 00:11:09,800 --> 00:11:14,400 Speaker 1: thing is always finite. Even in World War Two, which 168 00:11:14,440 --> 00:11:17,240 Speaker 1: obviously America were very very proud of and we should 169 00:11:17,320 --> 00:11:19,760 Speaker 1: be very very proud of it. By the time we 170 00:11:19,800 --> 00:11:24,000 Speaker 1: got to Ewojima in World War Two, the administration, the 171 00:11:24,000 --> 00:11:27,880 Speaker 1: presidential administration, they were mortified by the casualties coming out 172 00:11:27,960 --> 00:11:30,760 Speaker 1: of Ewogima. Not just because of the brave men losing 173 00:11:30,800 --> 00:11:33,880 Speaker 1: their lives. They were reading the polling numbers. The American 174 00:11:33,920 --> 00:11:38,400 Speaker 1: public they were about over it. Now. This is after 175 00:11:38,400 --> 00:11:40,440 Speaker 1: the whole country was mad about Pearl Harbor just a 176 00:11:40,440 --> 00:11:44,920 Speaker 1: few years later. They were done watching body bangs. No 177 00:11:44,920 --> 00:11:49,640 Speaker 1: matter the circumstance, the public's tolerance for this is finite. 178 00:11:49,920 --> 00:11:53,960 Speaker 1: So you get an operation like Venezuela almost sounds like 179 00:11:54,040 --> 00:11:58,160 Speaker 1: Sacario Part three. We send in Delta Force into downtown 180 00:11:58,240 --> 00:12:00,720 Speaker 1: Venezuela and we snatch up the present it and his wife. 181 00:12:00,800 --> 00:12:06,240 Speaker 1: We don't lose a single man. Sounds good. Everybody's on board. 182 00:12:08,360 --> 00:12:11,880 Speaker 1: You send the Mexicans in to take out Amento Navy 183 00:12:11,920 --> 00:12:17,960 Speaker 1: seals did the training. Sounds good, Everyone's on board. You 184 00:12:18,160 --> 00:12:22,440 Speaker 1: launch what is obviously a regime change war. You can't 185 00:12:22,480 --> 00:12:25,120 Speaker 1: say it's not when you took out their leaders. You 186 00:12:25,240 --> 00:12:28,920 Speaker 1: launch a regime change war on the other side of 187 00:12:28,960 --> 00:12:34,760 Speaker 1: the world with domestic enemies who will exploit every American casualty. 188 00:12:34,800 --> 00:12:40,480 Speaker 1: As you know, they will we're on a clock. I'm 189 00:12:40,480 --> 00:12:43,160 Speaker 1: sure the Trump administration knows this, but we are most 190 00:12:43,240 --> 00:12:46,920 Speaker 1: definitely on a clock. If you and I by the 191 00:12:46,960 --> 00:12:49,600 Speaker 1: time we meet a week from now on, I'm right, 192 00:12:49,600 --> 00:12:51,960 Speaker 1: don't get me wrong, I'll be back tomorrow. If you 193 00:12:52,040 --> 00:12:55,440 Speaker 1: and I are talking about what we did in Iran 194 00:12:55,600 --> 00:12:58,680 Speaker 1: last week, as in, we're already done, the bombs of 195 00:12:58,760 --> 00:13:02,400 Speaker 1: trop dropped, the true are on their way home, minimal 196 00:13:02,440 --> 00:13:04,679 Speaker 1: loss of life from here on out. Then the Trump 197 00:13:04,720 --> 00:13:08,080 Speaker 1: administration they are politically going to get away with this 198 00:13:08,160 --> 00:13:11,240 Speaker 1: because the public will simply forgive, forget, and they'll move on. 199 00:13:11,280 --> 00:13:13,079 Speaker 1: I don't know about forget, but the public will forget 200 00:13:13,120 --> 00:13:18,040 Speaker 1: and they'll move on. If, however, we do get bogged down, 201 00:13:18,600 --> 00:13:20,240 Speaker 1: and you can make all the promises in the world 202 00:13:20,320 --> 00:13:22,920 Speaker 1: four weeks, five weeks, hopefully sooner. But you can make 203 00:13:22,960 --> 00:13:25,160 Speaker 1: all the promises in the world, but every administration in 204 00:13:25,200 --> 00:13:27,240 Speaker 1: the past has made those promises, and none of them 205 00:13:27,280 --> 00:13:29,480 Speaker 1: have turned out to be true. You make all the 206 00:13:29,520 --> 00:13:32,160 Speaker 1: promises in the world, But if a month from now, 207 00:13:32,320 --> 00:13:35,199 Speaker 1: two months from now, we're still waking up every morning, 208 00:13:35,200 --> 00:13:37,160 Speaker 1: and there might be on our phones. We're still waking 209 00:13:37,240 --> 00:13:40,000 Speaker 1: up every morning, and we see another American has died, 210 00:13:40,200 --> 00:13:43,400 Speaker 1: and the objectives aren't crystal clear, and people still have 211 00:13:43,520 --> 00:13:46,880 Speaker 1: record credit card debt. The Trump administration is going to 212 00:13:46,960 --> 00:13:52,320 Speaker 1: see the public turn against them very very very quickly. 213 00:13:52,960 --> 00:13:57,400 Speaker 1: Some of that is just intolerance based on the last 214 00:13:57,880 --> 00:14:02,720 Speaker 1: fifty years of experience in a May American form policy. Essentially, 215 00:14:02,760 --> 00:14:05,160 Speaker 1: what I'm saying is, I am very very cautious. I 216 00:14:05,200 --> 00:14:08,800 Speaker 1: am watching, I am praying, I am hoping, I'm very hesitant, 217 00:14:08,840 --> 00:14:14,240 Speaker 1: I'm very cautious right now the Trump administration, I'm hoping 218 00:14:14,240 --> 00:14:16,080 Speaker 1: they're did just doing what they think is right. And 219 00:14:16,120 --> 00:14:19,040 Speaker 1: I suppose that is the case. They are playing an 220 00:14:19,120 --> 00:14:23,920 Speaker 1: extremely dangerous game right now, a very very dangerous game, 221 00:14:24,240 --> 00:14:26,600 Speaker 1: a game that could very well see communists come back 222 00:14:26,640 --> 00:14:30,840 Speaker 1: to power in the United States of America. I hope 223 00:14:31,080 --> 00:14:34,920 Speaker 1: they understand that. Fully. Let's pray for the safety of 224 00:14:34,960 --> 00:14:38,880 Speaker 1: our troops. Let's pray for swift victory. We are in 225 00:14:38,960 --> 00:14:42,840 Speaker 1: it now. I'll be with you. I'll be honest with 226 00:14:42,880 --> 00:14:46,880 Speaker 1: you every step of the way. Watch, listen, and pray. 227 00:14:46,960 --> 00:14:50,560 Speaker 1: All right, all that may have made you uncomfortable, but 228 00:14:50,760 --> 00:14:54,560 Speaker 1: I am right now. Lee Smith, I am sure has 229 00:14:54,640 --> 00:14:59,240 Speaker 1: been dancing on the rooftops since Iran got bombed to smithereens. 230 00:14:59,720 --> 00:15:04,480 Speaker 1: So let's get from his perspective what all this is about, 231 00:15:04,720 --> 00:15:08,520 Speaker 1: why it's important. Let's hear that from Lee joining before 232 00:15:08,560 --> 00:15:14,320 Speaker 1: we get to Lee though, Let's do this. Do you 233 00:15:14,320 --> 00:15:16,400 Speaker 1: have any idea how much estrogen is in the water. 234 00:15:17,760 --> 00:15:21,640 Speaker 1: This is because of so many women being on birth control. 235 00:15:21,720 --> 00:15:25,880 Speaker 1: Now there's just toxic levels of estrogen in the water. 236 00:15:25,920 --> 00:15:29,160 Speaker 1: It's not getting treated out of the water. They're looking 237 00:15:29,200 --> 00:15:31,520 Speaker 1: right now and they're marveling at the lack of testosterone 238 00:15:31,560 --> 00:15:34,160 Speaker 1: we have as a society. They just can't believe the numbers. 239 00:15:34,200 --> 00:15:37,840 Speaker 1: It's shocking. We have to reverse that, we have to 240 00:15:37,840 --> 00:15:40,080 Speaker 1: fight against it. That's what chalk is about. It's about 241 00:15:40,120 --> 00:15:44,800 Speaker 1: reversing that number. A male vitality stack from Chalk is 242 00:15:44,840 --> 00:15:49,360 Speaker 1: what you need flowing through your veins twenty percent, increasing 243 00:15:49,480 --> 00:15:54,240 Speaker 1: your testosterone in ninety days with natural herbal supplements, not 244 00:15:54,520 --> 00:15:58,480 Speaker 1: needles in your arm. Get it done naturally, but be 245 00:15:58,960 --> 00:16:03,000 Speaker 1: proactive about it. You're about to have better energy, better sleep, 246 00:16:03,040 --> 00:16:05,560 Speaker 1: better mood. Remember what it was like when you were 247 00:16:05,600 --> 00:16:20,680 Speaker 1: younger Chuck dot Com slash Jesse TV. We'll be back, okay. 248 00:16:21,080 --> 00:16:25,320 Speaker 1: So I'm sure Lee Smith has been smiling. I'm sure 249 00:16:25,360 --> 00:16:27,400 Speaker 1: the edges of his mouth have been touching his ears 250 00:16:27,480 --> 00:16:30,960 Speaker 1: all weekend long. The Ayahtola is dead Iran, at least 251 00:16:30,960 --> 00:16:34,360 Speaker 1: the current regime appears to be on its heels. So 252 00:16:34,480 --> 00:16:37,520 Speaker 1: let's find out who did what gear This is obviously 253 00:16:37,560 --> 00:16:41,800 Speaker 1: a joint operation between America, is real, I mean, everybody, UAE, 254 00:16:41,920 --> 00:16:45,360 Speaker 1: Saudi Arabia, everyone's getting in on the party here. Lee Smith, 255 00:16:45,600 --> 00:16:49,120 Speaker 1: author of wonderful books, including The Strong Horse. 256 00:16:49,560 --> 00:16:50,600 Speaker 4: We'll talk about. 257 00:16:50,320 --> 00:16:53,440 Speaker 1: Many things with Lee. First of all, Lee, the Ayahtola 258 00:16:54,280 --> 00:16:54,800 Speaker 1: is dead. 259 00:16:55,240 --> 00:16:56,120 Speaker 4: How did this happen? 260 00:16:56,160 --> 00:16:57,440 Speaker 1: And who killed him? 261 00:16:58,280 --> 00:17:00,400 Speaker 5: Well, it looks like it was a joint op operation 262 00:17:00,800 --> 00:17:04,600 Speaker 5: or the United States Armed Forces and the Israeli Defense Forces. 263 00:17:04,920 --> 00:17:08,480 Speaker 5: There's reports out now that it was actually the SURPRISINGLY 264 00:17:08,640 --> 00:17:13,440 Speaker 5: because the Israelis are world renowned for their human intelligence. 265 00:17:13,440 --> 00:17:17,560 Speaker 5: But appears that the CIA had the source that was 266 00:17:17,640 --> 00:17:22,320 Speaker 5: following Kmene Kmene. I mean, the Mosade had a lot 267 00:17:22,359 --> 00:17:25,800 Speaker 5: of other people lined up who worked for the formerly 268 00:17:25,920 --> 00:17:29,399 Speaker 5: supreme leader. But it was the United States that was 269 00:17:29,440 --> 00:17:36,080 Speaker 5: apparently reportedly responsible for following and tagging Kramenne himself. 270 00:17:38,320 --> 00:17:41,199 Speaker 1: Okay, where was he? How did we get him? How 271 00:17:41,240 --> 00:17:41,879 Speaker 1: this thing go down? 272 00:17:43,240 --> 00:17:44,679 Speaker 5: I mean, I think that one of the reasons that 273 00:17:44,720 --> 00:17:48,080 Speaker 5: they left at the opportunity was the fact that Hamene 274 00:17:48,320 --> 00:17:52,719 Speaker 5: was meeting with top officials, and both the Americans and 275 00:17:52,760 --> 00:17:56,159 Speaker 5: the Israelis figured, this is a fantastic opportunity to get 276 00:17:56,160 --> 00:17:58,400 Speaker 5: a whole bunch of guys, a whole bunch of bad guys. 277 00:17:58,400 --> 00:18:02,440 Speaker 5: At the same time, we art will use fewer munitions 278 00:18:02,440 --> 00:18:06,640 Speaker 5: than we normally will to get ten, ten, twelve, fifteen, 279 00:18:06,720 --> 00:18:08,920 Speaker 5: twenty of these guys. So let's go after them now. 280 00:18:09,560 --> 00:18:11,760 Speaker 5: And you know, I have to say, Jesse, you started 281 00:18:11,800 --> 00:18:13,840 Speaker 5: off by saying that I've been smiling from here to Yeah, 282 00:18:13,840 --> 00:18:16,159 Speaker 5: I mean, I have to say, I'm I'm gratified that 283 00:18:16,200 --> 00:18:18,159 Speaker 5: the President of the United States has made good on 284 00:18:18,200 --> 00:18:22,480 Speaker 5: something he's been talking about virtually since the nineteen seventy 285 00:18:22,560 --> 00:18:26,080 Speaker 5: nine takeover the US embassy in Tehran. And I think 286 00:18:26,600 --> 00:18:31,240 Speaker 5: I think it's a very important moment for Americans. It's 287 00:18:31,320 --> 00:18:33,439 Speaker 5: part of our history. That chapter of our history is 288 00:18:33,480 --> 00:18:38,440 Speaker 5: now closed. And this also helps it insures our piece, 289 00:18:38,920 --> 00:18:43,400 Speaker 5: or further further insures our piece and advances our prosperity. 290 00:18:43,640 --> 00:18:45,560 Speaker 5: So I think it's an all around excellent thing. 291 00:18:47,840 --> 00:18:51,200 Speaker 1: Okay, let's talk about where we're going from here. It's 292 00:18:51,240 --> 00:18:54,360 Speaker 1: one thing to cheer about the Ayatola being dead. It's 293 00:18:54,400 --> 00:18:58,240 Speaker 1: another thing entirely to rebuild a government in a country 294 00:18:58,560 --> 00:19:01,359 Speaker 1: over there. We're we going. How long is it going 295 00:19:01,440 --> 00:19:04,359 Speaker 1: to take to get there? What? What are the actual objectives? 296 00:19:04,480 --> 00:19:06,520 Speaker 1: Things are a little vague. 297 00:19:06,680 --> 00:19:08,600 Speaker 5: I think it's unlikely that we're going to spend an 298 00:19:08,600 --> 00:19:12,040 Speaker 5: awful lot of time nation building in Iran. I think 299 00:19:12,119 --> 00:19:15,359 Speaker 5: right now the you know, you've heard the President say, well, 300 00:19:15,560 --> 00:19:17,720 Speaker 5: you know, some of the second third choices for leadership, 301 00:19:17,760 --> 00:19:20,680 Speaker 5: they're all dead. So I think right now the plan 302 00:19:20,800 --> 00:19:22,480 Speaker 5: is is to knock out as much of the regime 303 00:19:22,520 --> 00:19:25,680 Speaker 5: as possible, knock out as much of the IRGC as possible, 304 00:19:25,720 --> 00:19:29,119 Speaker 5: and then if the Iranian opposition wants to take power, 305 00:19:29,160 --> 00:19:31,639 Speaker 5: then they're going to They're they're going to have to 306 00:19:31,640 --> 00:19:32,840 Speaker 5: go out into the street again. 307 00:19:33,520 --> 00:19:33,720 Speaker 1: Uh. 308 00:19:33,920 --> 00:19:36,840 Speaker 5: You know, this is what the President said Saturday morning 309 00:19:36,960 --> 00:19:39,960 Speaker 5: after the strikes. So I think that the administration is 310 00:19:40,000 --> 00:19:41,639 Speaker 5: going to look and see what plays out. They're going 311 00:19:41,680 --> 00:19:44,000 Speaker 5: to be following it very closely. No doubt, there's going 312 00:19:44,080 --> 00:19:46,439 Speaker 5: to be a whole bunch of people talking, talking to 313 00:19:46,640 --> 00:19:49,240 Speaker 5: the White House, talking to the State Department, talking to 314 00:19:49,240 --> 00:19:52,040 Speaker 5: the Pentagon, talking to the CIA, trying to throw their 315 00:19:52,080 --> 00:19:54,199 Speaker 5: hat in the ring whether the United States will be 316 00:19:54,280 --> 00:19:59,600 Speaker 5: the the final arbiter of who rules Iran. That's that 317 00:20:00,160 --> 00:20:02,200 Speaker 5: I find that unlikely. This is going to be figured 318 00:20:02,240 --> 00:20:04,000 Speaker 5: out on the streets of Iran. This is going to 319 00:20:04,040 --> 00:20:06,080 Speaker 5: be figured out in lots of different places, and the 320 00:20:06,080 --> 00:20:08,960 Speaker 5: White House is certainly going to be watching it. But again, 321 00:20:08,240 --> 00:20:11,720 Speaker 5: I think that one thing we can be certain we're 322 00:20:11,720 --> 00:20:14,680 Speaker 5: not looking at, and that is a multi year commitment 323 00:20:15,119 --> 00:20:18,920 Speaker 5: with not only Pentagon officials on the ground, but State 324 00:20:18,960 --> 00:20:22,280 Speaker 5: Department officials on the ground and NNGO workers as well, 325 00:20:22,720 --> 00:20:27,520 Speaker 5: trying to teach Iranians what surrealist art is all about, 326 00:20:27,600 --> 00:20:31,760 Speaker 5: and trying to explain Marcel Duchamp and what the urinal 327 00:20:31,920 --> 00:20:32,359 Speaker 5: looks like. 328 00:20:33,200 --> 00:20:37,560 Speaker 4: Pretty sure, that's. 329 00:20:37,440 --> 00:20:40,800 Speaker 1: Okay, good for that? All right? Do we have some 330 00:20:41,160 --> 00:20:45,120 Speaker 1: idea of who we want this person to be? Lee? 331 00:20:45,200 --> 00:20:47,159 Speaker 1: There has to be someone in mind. I have a 332 00:20:47,200 --> 00:20:49,760 Speaker 1: hard time believe in the Trump administration would just wipe 333 00:20:49,760 --> 00:20:53,200 Speaker 1: out the leadership without at least a horse or two. 334 00:20:53,600 --> 00:20:54,439 Speaker 1: Is there someone we like? 335 00:20:55,080 --> 00:20:57,600 Speaker 5: Well, I mean, this is what Trump said, he was 336 00:20:57,640 --> 00:20:59,080 Speaker 5: looking at a couple of different people. 337 00:20:59,200 --> 00:21:00,800 Speaker 4: As you know, he. 338 00:21:00,880 --> 00:21:03,720 Speaker 5: Joked about it. He joked about it today saying, well, 339 00:21:03,760 --> 00:21:06,480 Speaker 5: you know there's a job opening. He said, Look, even 340 00:21:06,880 --> 00:21:10,960 Speaker 5: even in Iran, I'm creating jobs. So noa look there 341 00:21:11,000 --> 00:21:13,400 Speaker 5: that the issue is this, and this is a very 342 00:21:13,400 --> 00:21:15,640 Speaker 5: significant issue, and I'm certain the White House was aware 343 00:21:15,680 --> 00:21:19,600 Speaker 5: of this. It's an IRGC regime. So even when we're 344 00:21:19,600 --> 00:21:22,960 Speaker 5: talking about eliminating the top, the I a tool, and 345 00:21:23,000 --> 00:21:27,360 Speaker 5: we're talking about eliminating all a whole cohort of Malla's, 346 00:21:27,640 --> 00:21:33,160 Speaker 5: the IRGC is everywhere throughout Iran's economy, throughout the Aranian society. 347 00:21:33,720 --> 00:21:36,600 Speaker 5: So again it's going to be I imagine what's going 348 00:21:36,680 --> 00:21:38,720 Speaker 5: to happen is there's going to be some sort of fight, 349 00:21:39,160 --> 00:21:41,639 Speaker 5: some sort of split in the IRGC. Someone's going to 350 00:21:41,640 --> 00:21:45,120 Speaker 5: take the reins in their hands. And and I hope 351 00:21:45,119 --> 00:21:49,240 Speaker 5: that the I hope the United States doesn't move until. 352 00:21:49,000 --> 00:21:49,920 Speaker 4: That's figured out. 353 00:21:50,280 --> 00:21:53,280 Speaker 5: The administration has already made its point. If you build 354 00:21:53,359 --> 00:21:55,640 Speaker 5: nuclear weapons when we tell you not to, and if 355 00:21:55,640 --> 00:21:58,480 Speaker 5: you target Americans, if you target our allies, We're going 356 00:21:58,560 --> 00:22:00,040 Speaker 5: to bomb you. If you do it, We're going to 357 00:22:00,119 --> 00:22:02,160 Speaker 5: do it again. This is the point that Trump made 358 00:22:02,160 --> 00:22:04,520 Speaker 5: in June. He said, if they keep rebuilding that nuclear 359 00:22:04,560 --> 00:22:08,840 Speaker 5: weapons facilities. I'll bomb them again, and sure enough he 360 00:22:08,920 --> 00:22:12,440 Speaker 5: did so. Well, Donald Trump is in office. Whoever takes 361 00:22:12,520 --> 00:22:16,200 Speaker 5: charge of Iran, or whatever factions, whatever cadris take charge, 362 00:22:16,359 --> 00:22:18,240 Speaker 5: they can be sure that Donald Trump is a man 363 00:22:18,280 --> 00:22:19,280 Speaker 5: of his word. 364 00:22:20,920 --> 00:22:24,200 Speaker 1: Lee, talk to me about this nuclear program in Iran. 365 00:22:24,400 --> 00:22:27,240 Speaker 1: Why wouldn't they just let it go? I mean, you 366 00:22:27,240 --> 00:22:29,960 Speaker 1: do have other resources in the country. That program is 367 00:22:29,960 --> 00:22:33,000 Speaker 1: the source of so many sanctions they get levied on 368 00:22:33,040 --> 00:22:35,439 Speaker 1: the Iranian regime, even near if you're a bunch of 369 00:22:35,800 --> 00:22:39,680 Speaker 1: evil Islamis scumbags, why not just let the nuclear program 370 00:22:39,840 --> 00:22:41,280 Speaker 1: go and do other stuff. 371 00:22:41,920 --> 00:22:43,199 Speaker 4: Well, let's go back a little bit. 372 00:22:43,240 --> 00:22:46,000 Speaker 5: I mean, it's always been an important American interest since 373 00:22:46,080 --> 00:22:51,040 Speaker 5: the development of the nuclear bomb. It's been one of 374 00:22:51,080 --> 00:22:55,920 Speaker 5: the major national security points in the United States has 375 00:22:56,040 --> 00:23:00,119 Speaker 5: been to stop proliferation. We've done that with allies and 376 00:23:00,160 --> 00:23:03,280 Speaker 5: we were able to The United States wasn't happy when 377 00:23:03,800 --> 00:23:06,840 Speaker 5: the Israeli has got a nuclear weapon. We prevented the 378 00:23:06,840 --> 00:23:11,920 Speaker 5: Taiwanese from getting a nuclear weapon, and other actors also, 379 00:23:12,080 --> 00:23:14,359 Speaker 5: we don't want other players to get a nuclear weapon. 380 00:23:14,400 --> 00:23:18,200 Speaker 5: This all changed with Barack Obama. When Barack Obama made 381 00:23:18,200 --> 00:23:21,640 Speaker 5: a deal with a terror state to legalize their nuclear 382 00:23:21,680 --> 00:23:25,119 Speaker 5: weapons program. That was a very, very bad thing as 383 00:23:25,200 --> 00:23:27,960 Speaker 5: far as the Trump administration going in and saying, yeah, 384 00:23:28,320 --> 00:23:30,440 Speaker 5: you know, we're going to cut you a brake, we'll 385 00:23:30,440 --> 00:23:33,560 Speaker 5: give you nuclear fuel forever, do this or that, and 386 00:23:33,560 --> 00:23:37,840 Speaker 5: the Uranians said no. Look, frankly, the Islamic Republic, such 387 00:23:37,840 --> 00:23:40,959 Speaker 5: as it was, had a point. It's very hard to 388 00:23:41,080 --> 00:23:44,320 Speaker 5: go in there and tell a regime. Look, by the way, 389 00:23:44,520 --> 00:23:48,960 Speaker 5: you have no say over your allies, meaning your proxies, 390 00:23:48,960 --> 00:23:51,800 Speaker 5: even though they're terrorists. You have no say over your 391 00:23:51,840 --> 00:23:54,920 Speaker 5: self defense, meaning your nuclear weapons program. It's a violation 392 00:23:54,960 --> 00:23:58,480 Speaker 5: of their sovereignty. So the Islamic Republic wasn't necessarily wrong 393 00:23:58,520 --> 00:24:00,479 Speaker 5: to say no, we're not going to do it. It 394 00:24:00,520 --> 00:24:04,720 Speaker 5: looks nuts in hindsight, but they had a point. It's 395 00:24:04,760 --> 00:24:08,359 Speaker 5: their national sovereignty at stick. The problem with Iran is 396 00:24:08,520 --> 00:24:12,160 Speaker 5: the problem with that regime was they're insane, so they 397 00:24:12,160 --> 00:24:16,520 Speaker 5: cannot allowed to be have They cannot be allowed to 398 00:24:16,560 --> 00:24:18,960 Speaker 5: have the different things they said they wanted to have, 399 00:24:19,000 --> 00:24:25,080 Speaker 5: which is terror proxies in Lebanon isbela Hamas the Huthis, 400 00:24:25,119 --> 00:24:27,919 Speaker 5: as well as a nuclear weapons program that would provide 401 00:24:27,960 --> 00:24:32,120 Speaker 5: an umbrella for these terror proxies to operate as well 402 00:24:32,160 --> 00:24:35,080 Speaker 5: as the regime itself. So again, the fact that the 403 00:24:35,080 --> 00:24:38,320 Speaker 5: Iranians put their foot down is not that strange. The 404 00:24:38,400 --> 00:24:41,240 Speaker 5: big problem was is that the United States, as the 405 00:24:41,320 --> 00:24:44,800 Speaker 5: responsible world power, not as the world's policeman, but as 406 00:24:44,840 --> 00:24:48,520 Speaker 5: the responsible world's power that's able to do something about 407 00:24:48,600 --> 00:24:52,119 Speaker 5: keeping the world free of lunatics, was the United States 408 00:24:52,200 --> 00:24:54,960 Speaker 5: has ruled It was Donald Trump's role in particular, not 409 00:24:55,119 --> 00:24:58,439 Speaker 5: any American policymaker. Donald Trump is the first one, the 410 00:24:58,480 --> 00:25:01,160 Speaker 5: only one who stood up in did something. He said, 411 00:25:01,480 --> 00:25:04,640 Speaker 5: this can't be allowed to happen. And let's remember how 412 00:25:04,680 --> 00:25:07,600 Speaker 5: long Donald Trump has been saying this, right since at 413 00:25:07,680 --> 00:25:11,520 Speaker 5: least is two thousand book The America We Deserve talking 414 00:25:11,520 --> 00:25:14,680 Speaker 5: about the problems with Iran's nuclear problem. He set it 415 00:25:14,760 --> 00:25:17,879 Speaker 5: on campaign three times on all of his three different 416 00:25:18,080 --> 00:25:22,159 Speaker 5: presidential campaigns, and Jesse maybe you've seen videos circulating today 417 00:25:22,240 --> 00:25:25,800 Speaker 5: on social media about Donald Trump speaking in nineteen eighty 418 00:25:25,880 --> 00:25:28,359 Speaker 5: how terrible it was that the Iranians took over the 419 00:25:28,400 --> 00:25:31,679 Speaker 5: embassy and held Americans hostage for was it four hundred 420 00:25:31,680 --> 00:25:34,639 Speaker 5: and forty four days? So this has been on Donald 421 00:25:34,680 --> 00:25:37,640 Speaker 5: Trump's mind for a very long time. And we are 422 00:25:38,240 --> 00:25:42,880 Speaker 5: truly blessed as Americans that Donald Trump is our president 423 00:25:42,920 --> 00:25:47,520 Speaker 5: and he took care of not just an outstanding blood debt, 424 00:25:48,160 --> 00:25:53,400 Speaker 5: but he also moved to keep Americans safe and prosperous. 425 00:25:53,560 --> 00:25:56,600 Speaker 5: God bless him. 426 00:25:57,080 --> 00:26:02,160 Speaker 1: Lee, thank you, my brother come back. So all right, Well, 427 00:26:04,359 --> 00:26:07,240 Speaker 1: it almost seems vulgar when people were dying, when Americans 428 00:26:07,240 --> 00:26:11,560 Speaker 1: are dying, to discuss the economics of it. But I 429 00:26:11,560 --> 00:26:14,000 Speaker 1: want to know what this means for your wallet, for 430 00:26:14,119 --> 00:26:16,680 Speaker 1: my wallet? What does it mean here at home? They're 431 00:26:16,680 --> 00:26:19,919 Speaker 1: closing the strait of horror, moves, all these things. What 432 00:26:19,960 --> 00:26:22,439 Speaker 1: do those things mean? John Carney's going to join us 433 00:26:22,440 --> 00:26:24,560 Speaker 1: in a moment. We'll go over some of those things 434 00:26:24,600 --> 00:26:29,800 Speaker 1: before we do that. Let's do this. Everybody's waving an 435 00:26:29,840 --> 00:26:32,639 Speaker 1: American flag right now, well, some of us are, and 436 00:26:32,680 --> 00:26:36,560 Speaker 1: that's good. Do you remember what Pure Talk my cell 437 00:26:36,600 --> 00:26:41,600 Speaker 1: phone company. Do you remember what they did last Independence Day? 438 00:26:41,680 --> 00:26:45,680 Speaker 1: They sent out American flags to veterans. While Verizon AT 439 00:26:45,840 --> 00:26:48,600 Speaker 1: and T and T Mobile were out there doing things 440 00:26:48,640 --> 00:26:53,560 Speaker 1: like sponsoring child drag queen shows, my cell phone company 441 00:26:53,600 --> 00:26:57,080 Speaker 1: was sending out American flags to veterans. It is such 442 00:26:57,080 --> 00:26:59,199 Speaker 1: a difference when you switch to pure Talk. It's not 443 00:26:59,280 --> 00:27:01,120 Speaker 1: just that, you say, It's not just that you get 444 00:27:01,160 --> 00:27:04,359 Speaker 1: to deal with Americans who speak English. You don't have 445 00:27:04,440 --> 00:27:08,959 Speaker 1: to feel dirty when you pay your bill. Stop feeling dirty. 446 00:27:09,640 --> 00:27:14,680 Speaker 1: Go to puretalk dot com, slash jessetv and make the switch. 447 00:27:15,200 --> 00:27:28,399 Speaker 1: We'll be back, Okay. So that's all the political angles 448 00:27:28,440 --> 00:27:30,680 Speaker 1: of it in Iran and American and pro and God. 449 00:27:30,720 --> 00:27:33,800 Speaker 1: But we have other fish to fry here. We have 450 00:27:33,960 --> 00:27:37,080 Speaker 1: record national debt, record credit card debt, and we don't 451 00:27:37,200 --> 00:27:40,840 Speaker 1: need all this impacting your wallet or mine. Let's talk 452 00:27:40,880 --> 00:27:43,800 Speaker 1: to John Carney about all that. Economics and Finance editor 453 00:27:43,840 --> 00:27:48,040 Speaker 1: with the wonderful Bright Bart, John Carney. Okay, John, Obviously, 454 00:27:48,200 --> 00:27:50,719 Speaker 1: all wars, it's a global economy, are going to have 455 00:27:50,880 --> 00:27:56,000 Speaker 1: economic ramifications of some kind. Doing the best crystal ball 456 00:27:56,119 --> 00:27:59,199 Speaker 1: prediction you can. What's all this going to mean for 457 00:27:59,320 --> 00:28:01,040 Speaker 1: me money? 458 00:28:01,960 --> 00:28:04,720 Speaker 4: So yeah, first of all, I hate having to talk 459 00:28:04,760 --> 00:28:07,240 Speaker 4: about this because of course, you know, what happens in 460 00:28:07,280 --> 00:28:09,560 Speaker 4: war is a lot more important than what happens to 461 00:28:09,600 --> 00:28:13,880 Speaker 4: our wallets, but it does matter. So what we're going 462 00:28:13,920 --> 00:28:17,639 Speaker 4: to see is a immediate move up in oil prices, 463 00:28:17,960 --> 00:28:23,479 Speaker 4: natural gas prices. This will mean higher gasoline prices and 464 00:28:23,600 --> 00:28:27,720 Speaker 4: higher electricity prices. It will be a drag on the economy, 465 00:28:28,240 --> 00:28:32,240 Speaker 4: but I don't think it will be inflationary, So I 466 00:28:32,280 --> 00:28:35,679 Speaker 4: don't think that we're going to see prices around the economy. 467 00:28:35,840 --> 00:28:38,560 Speaker 4: Other things start to move up, we will see a 468 00:28:38,720 --> 00:28:44,000 Speaker 4: drag from Frankly, the straight of her moves will be 469 00:28:44,440 --> 00:28:49,920 Speaker 4: at least for some time constrained, if not shut down. 470 00:28:50,800 --> 00:28:56,200 Speaker 4: We are seeing already refineries and processing plants through all 471 00:28:56,240 --> 00:29:02,040 Speaker 4: around the Persian Gulf be damaged by the Iranian retaliation. 472 00:29:02,720 --> 00:29:06,959 Speaker 4: So we're going to see some economic costs. It'll mostly 473 00:29:06,960 --> 00:29:09,520 Speaker 4: show up at the gas pump, but probably not for 474 00:29:09,680 --> 00:29:15,640 Speaker 4: very long. If this goes as planned it we probably 475 00:29:15,640 --> 00:29:19,000 Speaker 4: will see some move up. But we have oil now 476 00:29:19,040 --> 00:29:22,760 Speaker 4: from Venezuela. Our allies in the Gulf are saying they 477 00:29:22,800 --> 00:29:26,200 Speaker 4: are going to pump more oil. The US is itself 478 00:29:26,360 --> 00:29:31,120 Speaker 4: a giant oil producing machine, and natural gas of course 479 00:29:31,160 --> 00:29:35,640 Speaker 4: as well. So we are no longer exposed to you know, 480 00:29:35,680 --> 00:29:38,719 Speaker 4: when I was young, and there would be you know, 481 00:29:38,960 --> 00:29:43,960 Speaker 4: a minor political uproar in much less a war in 482 00:29:44,000 --> 00:29:47,640 Speaker 4: the Persian Gulf, oil would shoot to the moon. I 483 00:29:47,680 --> 00:29:49,280 Speaker 4: don't think that's going to happen this time. I don't 484 00:29:49,280 --> 00:29:51,000 Speaker 4: think we're going to see one hundred dollars, one hundred 485 00:29:51,000 --> 00:29:53,800 Speaker 4: and twenty five, one hundred and fifty dollars barrel of 486 00:29:53,840 --> 00:29:56,320 Speaker 4: the oil that we're going to see more like eighty 487 00:29:56,360 --> 00:29:58,720 Speaker 4: dollars barrel of oil, and even that for just a 488 00:29:58,720 --> 00:29:59,240 Speaker 4: short time. 489 00:30:01,640 --> 00:30:04,440 Speaker 1: All right, John, let's rewind here and I'm going to 490 00:30:04,440 --> 00:30:06,600 Speaker 1: ask you to do something which is difficult for people 491 00:30:06,640 --> 00:30:08,240 Speaker 1: to do. I'm going to ask you to take your 492 00:30:08,280 --> 00:30:11,400 Speaker 1: IQ and cut it in half, if you would. Straight 493 00:30:11,400 --> 00:30:14,960 Speaker 1: of horror moves for so many people. I was trying 494 00:30:14,960 --> 00:30:17,640 Speaker 1: to explain this to my son this weekend. What is it? 495 00:30:17,960 --> 00:30:20,640 Speaker 1: Where is it? Why is it important? Why did you 496 00:30:20,680 --> 00:30:23,320 Speaker 1: even reference it? It seems like it's really far away. 497 00:30:23,640 --> 00:30:25,640 Speaker 1: I need you to do me a one to oh 498 00:30:25,680 --> 00:30:28,080 Speaker 1: one on this strait and just go ahead and take 499 00:30:28,080 --> 00:30:28,800 Speaker 1: the whole show over. 500 00:30:29,280 --> 00:30:32,800 Speaker 4: Absolutely so. It is a narrow body of water that 501 00:30:32,920 --> 00:30:36,440 Speaker 4: basically separates the Persian Gulf from the Indian Ocean, but 502 00:30:36,520 --> 00:30:38,760 Speaker 4: really from the rest of the world. So a lot 503 00:30:38,800 --> 00:30:42,080 Speaker 4: of the world's oil comes from areas around the person Gulf. 504 00:30:42,320 --> 00:30:45,880 Speaker 4: It gets loaded onto tankers, it has to go through 505 00:30:46,040 --> 00:30:49,640 Speaker 4: a narrow strip of water called the strait of her 506 00:30:49,680 --> 00:30:53,160 Speaker 4: moves think of it and in some ways, like I 507 00:30:53,360 --> 00:30:56,240 Speaker 4: use this on my children who are learning us history, 508 00:30:57,200 --> 00:30:59,680 Speaker 4: that it is kind of the eerie canal of oil. 509 00:31:00,160 --> 00:31:03,920 Speaker 4: It is the thing that brings oil from where it 510 00:31:03,960 --> 00:31:07,360 Speaker 4: originates to the rest of the world, and it is 511 00:31:07,520 --> 00:31:11,320 Speaker 4: very important to global oil supplies. However, it is not 512 00:31:11,440 --> 00:31:14,720 Speaker 4: as important as it used to be. It used to 513 00:31:14,760 --> 00:31:18,760 Speaker 4: be absolutely crucial. It's a lot less important now. We 514 00:31:19,000 --> 00:31:22,280 Speaker 4: also have the ability that we didn't have before through 515 00:31:22,440 --> 00:31:27,680 Speaker 4: drone technology, to really actually make it much harder for anyone, 516 00:31:27,880 --> 00:31:31,680 Speaker 4: especially Iran, to try to cut off this, you know, 517 00:31:31,760 --> 00:31:35,320 Speaker 4: to mine it, to to put annoying ships on it. 518 00:31:35,640 --> 00:31:38,080 Speaker 4: We can blow up any you know, any major naval 519 00:31:38,160 --> 00:31:40,560 Speaker 4: ship that enters the straight up removes and tries to 520 00:31:40,600 --> 00:31:43,680 Speaker 4: mess with us. The real problem is actually more like 521 00:31:43,760 --> 00:31:47,800 Speaker 4: something close to piracy, where you have either mines placed 522 00:31:47,800 --> 00:31:52,480 Speaker 4: in the strait or you know, small attack ships attacking 523 00:31:52,520 --> 00:31:55,120 Speaker 4: the tankers that will make the tankers. You know, these 524 00:31:55,120 --> 00:31:58,520 Speaker 4: aren't combat tankers. These are you know, ships full of seamen, 525 00:31:58,640 --> 00:32:02,760 Speaker 4: merchant marines. They don't want to end up in a war, 526 00:32:03,280 --> 00:32:06,320 Speaker 4: and so getting them through there is very important. But 527 00:32:06,360 --> 00:32:10,400 Speaker 4: I think we have the military and technological capacity to 528 00:32:10,600 --> 00:32:13,480 Speaker 4: keep that from being cut off for any long period 529 00:32:13,480 --> 00:32:13,760 Speaker 4: of time. 530 00:32:16,000 --> 00:32:20,040 Speaker 1: Okay, let's go to Venezuela because you mentioned Venezuela. It's 531 00:32:20,040 --> 00:32:23,920 Speaker 1: hard not to make a connection that Venezuela became kind 532 00:32:23,960 --> 00:32:27,360 Speaker 1: of kind of hours in a way, about five minutes 533 00:32:27,440 --> 00:32:31,280 Speaker 1: before we started bombing Iran. Tell me about it. 534 00:32:31,920 --> 00:32:35,280 Speaker 4: Yeah, so this is really important. Venezuela was part of 535 00:32:35,440 --> 00:32:38,680 Speaker 4: I'll call it like the dark oil powers of the world. 536 00:32:38,920 --> 00:32:42,560 Speaker 4: It's basically Venezuela and Iran that were one a huge 537 00:32:42,600 --> 00:32:48,360 Speaker 4: supplier to China, but two we're not suppliers to the 538 00:32:48,360 --> 00:32:54,080 Speaker 4: rest of the world. Venezuelan oil was highly sanctioned, and 539 00:32:54,120 --> 00:32:57,640 Speaker 4: so it really wasn't feeding into the global oil prices, 540 00:32:57,680 --> 00:33:00,000 Speaker 4: and production was way down from where it could be. 541 00:33:00,840 --> 00:33:05,800 Speaker 4: We are bringing Venezuela back online and so and advantages 542 00:33:06,880 --> 00:33:10,560 Speaker 4: over the medium to long term. Whatever happens in Iran 543 00:33:10,600 --> 00:33:13,680 Speaker 4: will matter a lot less now that the world has 544 00:33:13,880 --> 00:33:15,960 Speaker 4: access to Venezuelan oil. 545 00:33:16,040 --> 00:33:21,720 Speaker 1: Once again, John, tell me about refining, because this is 546 00:33:21,720 --> 00:33:24,400 Speaker 1: a conversation you've had before. Again, this is another one 547 00:33:24,400 --> 00:33:26,440 Speaker 1: of those things that people get confused on. So we 548 00:33:26,480 --> 00:33:29,600 Speaker 1: don't teach anybody anything in school anymore. It's one thing 549 00:33:29,680 --> 00:33:32,120 Speaker 1: to pull oil out of the ground. It's another thing 550 00:33:32,280 --> 00:33:35,760 Speaker 1: entirely to have oil be usable for people, You have 551 00:33:35,840 --> 00:33:38,880 Speaker 1: to refine it. Where are we refining all this oil? 552 00:33:39,000 --> 00:33:41,959 Speaker 1: Venezuelan oil, which from what I understand is filthy, dirty 553 00:33:42,240 --> 00:33:44,479 Speaker 1: American oil. I know we lost a lot of our 554 00:33:44,520 --> 00:33:47,880 Speaker 1: refining capacity. Where is it being refined now? Is that 555 00:33:48,080 --> 00:33:48,840 Speaker 1: in trouble at all? 556 00:33:49,520 --> 00:33:52,480 Speaker 4: Well, so the Venezuelan and American oil is not in 557 00:33:52,480 --> 00:33:55,800 Speaker 4: trouble because it gets refined. Actually, in US we're really good. 558 00:33:56,280 --> 00:33:59,000 Speaker 4: Actually we have refineries built to be able to refine 559 00:33:59,080 --> 00:34:03,200 Speaker 4: Venezuelan oil. We will be really good at that. The 560 00:34:03,320 --> 00:34:07,480 Speaker 4: big threat is really Iranian missiles destroying the refineries in 561 00:34:07,560 --> 00:34:11,440 Speaker 4: the Middle East. That really does need to be refined 562 00:34:12,239 --> 00:34:17,160 Speaker 4: out in that area because it is a different refining 563 00:34:17,239 --> 00:34:22,000 Speaker 4: process oil. There's lots of different grades of oil. Some 564 00:34:22,080 --> 00:34:24,960 Speaker 4: of it is is easier to turn into gasoline, some 565 00:34:25,040 --> 00:34:27,560 Speaker 4: of it is more completed, but you can't. 566 00:34:27,600 --> 00:34:27,879 Speaker 1: You don't. 567 00:34:28,000 --> 00:34:30,240 Speaker 4: Just like it's when we go to the gas station 568 00:34:30,320 --> 00:34:32,920 Speaker 4: and we have like three grades of gasoline and you 569 00:34:32,960 --> 00:34:35,319 Speaker 4: can plug any one of them into your car. By 570 00:34:35,320 --> 00:34:37,600 Speaker 4: the way, you should probably always choose the cheaper one. 571 00:34:37,680 --> 00:34:41,040 Speaker 4: The other ones are your Your new cars don't need 572 00:34:41,320 --> 00:34:45,880 Speaker 4: the high grade gasoline. But but it's not like that. 573 00:34:45,920 --> 00:34:48,400 Speaker 4: You can't just press a button and pump whatever oil 574 00:34:49,000 --> 00:34:51,319 Speaker 4: you need, the right kind of oil in the right refinery. 575 00:34:51,760 --> 00:34:56,000 Speaker 4: The risk is if Iranian missiles destroy refineries, which by 576 00:34:56,000 --> 00:34:59,120 Speaker 4: the way, they're not yet. They have shut down some refineries, 577 00:34:59,160 --> 00:35:03,600 Speaker 4: but that's more of, from what I'm told, a cautionary measure. 578 00:35:04,040 --> 00:35:07,520 Speaker 4: As the places are being attacked, they're still going to 579 00:35:07,560 --> 00:35:10,600 Speaker 4: be operational again. But the danger is if those things 580 00:35:10,640 --> 00:35:13,480 Speaker 4: get shut down for a long time, then it will 581 00:35:13,480 --> 00:35:15,960 Speaker 4: be harder to Even if you know the Saudis are 582 00:35:16,000 --> 00:35:19,239 Speaker 4: pumping oil out of the ground, it gets harder to 583 00:35:20,120 --> 00:35:22,200 Speaker 4: make it useful to the rest of the world if 584 00:35:22,200 --> 00:35:25,040 Speaker 4: the refining capabilities are destroyed. 585 00:35:27,680 --> 00:35:30,239 Speaker 1: John, let's talk about China. I've heard a lot of 586 00:35:30,360 --> 00:35:33,279 Speaker 1: chatter about what we did in Venezuela and what we're 587 00:35:33,320 --> 00:35:37,800 Speaker 1: doing in Iran is really putting China in a bad spot. 588 00:35:38,040 --> 00:35:40,440 Speaker 1: Is that true? And if so, why what's going on? 589 00:35:40,920 --> 00:35:47,240 Speaker 4: Yeah, China is heavily dependent on imported energy. They need oil, 590 00:35:47,640 --> 00:35:50,600 Speaker 4: they were getting it from I ran in Venezuela. Not 591 00:35:50,719 --> 00:35:53,279 Speaker 4: being able, not being able to get it from I 592 00:35:53,320 --> 00:35:56,799 Speaker 4: Ran in Venezuela. Really puts them in a much more 593 00:35:56,880 --> 00:36:00,719 Speaker 4: precarious spot economically. But look, they're not going to cut 594 00:36:00,800 --> 00:36:04,840 Speaker 4: China off of oil like that's not anybody's plan. But 595 00:36:04,920 --> 00:36:07,320 Speaker 4: what it means is if China were to do something 596 00:36:07,480 --> 00:36:12,520 Speaker 4: militarily aggressive invade Taiwan, they would be a lot more 597 00:36:12,680 --> 00:36:17,759 Speaker 4: vulnerable if they cannot get out of his regimes in 598 00:36:17,880 --> 00:36:21,880 Speaker 4: Venezuela and Iran. We are making that much more difficult. 599 00:36:21,880 --> 00:36:24,640 Speaker 4: We've made it impossible. They're not getting the oil in 600 00:36:24,719 --> 00:36:26,960 Speaker 4: a conflict out of Venezuela. They could buy it at 601 00:36:26,960 --> 00:36:32,480 Speaker 4: market prices today. That's fine, and the same thing with Iran. Hopefully, 602 00:36:32,920 --> 00:36:36,000 Speaker 4: when this all comes to a conclusion, they will no 603 00:36:36,120 --> 00:36:39,759 Speaker 4: longer have a client state in Iran that will be 604 00:36:39,960 --> 00:36:43,040 Speaker 4: you know, sort of their oil well anymore, and that 605 00:36:43,080 --> 00:36:45,040 Speaker 4: will make them much more hesitant to be able to 606 00:36:45,040 --> 00:36:47,920 Speaker 4: prosecute any military attacks on any of their neighbors. 607 00:36:50,440 --> 00:36:53,759 Speaker 1: Okay, that leads me to Russia. Why don't they just 608 00:36:53,800 --> 00:36:55,040 Speaker 1: go buy it from the Ruskies? 609 00:36:56,239 --> 00:36:58,200 Speaker 4: You know they can't. They can buy oil from the 610 00:36:58,320 --> 00:37:04,640 Speaker 4: Russian but China has a disincentive to be too dependent 611 00:37:04,760 --> 00:37:07,400 Speaker 4: on the Russians, partly just out of history. 612 00:37:07,440 --> 00:37:08,080 Speaker 1: They don't like. 613 00:37:08,239 --> 00:37:12,000 Speaker 4: They didn't like the time period in which their economy 614 00:37:12,120 --> 00:37:15,080 Speaker 4: was very dependent on the Soviet economy, even when they 615 00:37:15,080 --> 00:37:19,200 Speaker 4: were both communists. They actually really felt uncomfortable being so 616 00:37:19,360 --> 00:37:23,400 Speaker 4: dependent on their wealthier, on their then wealthier Soviet neighbors. 617 00:37:23,680 --> 00:37:26,719 Speaker 4: They don't want to be dependent on Russia again, in 618 00:37:26,760 --> 00:37:29,239 Speaker 4: part because Putin won't always be in charge, or they 619 00:37:29,239 --> 00:37:32,319 Speaker 4: don't know the future of Russia. But also they just 620 00:37:32,360 --> 00:37:35,319 Speaker 4: want to be able to not have to look to 621 00:37:35,400 --> 00:37:38,960 Speaker 4: Russia for permission to do things around the world, where 622 00:37:38,960 --> 00:37:41,560 Speaker 4: if they're heavily dependent on Russia they would be. So 623 00:37:42,040 --> 00:37:44,960 Speaker 4: I think China looks at it and says, we'd rather 624 00:37:45,040 --> 00:37:48,560 Speaker 4: not be dependent on Russia. They're probably increasingly are going 625 00:37:48,600 --> 00:37:51,040 Speaker 4: to be dependent on Russia if they get cut off 626 00:37:51,080 --> 00:37:53,200 Speaker 4: of Iran. They've already been cut off of Venezuela. 627 00:37:55,600 --> 00:38:00,719 Speaker 1: John, thank you, my man. I appreciate you. All Right, 628 00:38:01,719 --> 00:38:05,359 Speaker 1: we're gonna talk about something that I believe we should 629 00:38:05,400 --> 00:38:09,040 Speaker 1: be focusing on hard, and we found out another reason 630 00:38:09,080 --> 00:38:12,320 Speaker 1: we should be focusing hard on it. Over the weekend, terrible, 631 00:38:12,480 --> 00:38:14,839 Speaker 1: terrible case out of Austin, Texas. We're going to talk 632 00:38:14,880 --> 00:38:19,319 Speaker 1: about immigration, the foreigners we have here. Before we get 633 00:38:19,320 --> 00:38:27,040 Speaker 1: to that, let's talk about this sleeping. It's just when 634 00:38:27,080 --> 00:38:31,200 Speaker 1: you have a good night's sleep, you are in every 635 00:38:31,239 --> 00:38:34,200 Speaker 1: way a completely different person than when you have a 636 00:38:34,239 --> 00:38:36,920 Speaker 1: bad one, At least I am. Maybe when you were younger, 637 00:38:36,920 --> 00:38:39,759 Speaker 1: you'd get away with that. But man, if you run 638 00:38:39,760 --> 00:38:43,239 Speaker 1: into me and I've had five hours of sleep, it's 639 00:38:43,280 --> 00:38:45,800 Speaker 1: not the same. Jesse is who gets eight hours of sleep? 640 00:38:46,000 --> 00:38:49,160 Speaker 1: Just not. But what do you do? Whether it's everything 641 00:38:49,160 --> 00:38:51,120 Speaker 1: you take to sleep makes you feel groggy when you 642 00:38:51,160 --> 00:38:54,800 Speaker 1: wake up, you don't feel rested except for dream powder 643 00:38:54,840 --> 00:39:00,399 Speaker 1: from Beam. That's why you need natural things. Dreampowder from Beam. 644 00:39:00,400 --> 00:39:02,000 Speaker 1: It's just a cup of hot chocolate, but it's all 645 00:39:02,080 --> 00:39:05,480 Speaker 1: natural stuff in it.

So as you know, I like to stay focused 653 00:39:37,280 --> 00:39:39,000 Speaker 1: here at home, and I'll give you a heads up 654 00:39:39,080 --> 00:39:42,160 Speaker 1: right now We've already discussed it as a show. This 655 00:39:42,280 --> 00:39:45,279 Speaker 1: is not going to become war correspondent show where every 656 00:39:45,360 --> 00:39:48,480 Speaker 1: day we're giving you updates on what's going on in Iran. 657 00:39:48,600 --> 00:39:51,720 Speaker 1: I care about America. That is my focus. It's always 658 00:39:51,760 --> 00:39:54,760 Speaker 1: been my focus. I care about what's going on here. 659 00:39:55,280 --> 00:40:00,480 Speaker 1: But look, we have a problem here and it's already 660 00:40:00,520 --> 00:40:03,360 Speaker 1: hitting us here at home. Over the weekend, there was 661 00:40:03,760 --> 00:40:05,719 Speaker 1: a horrible story. You know what. I was going to 662 00:40:05,719 --> 00:40:07,080 Speaker 1: show you a video.
