1
00:00:00,440 --> 00:00:03,920
Speaker 1: Welcome everybody to the Monday edition of the Clay Travis

2
00:00:03,960 --> 00:00:07,960
Speaker 1: and Buck Sexton Show. I am back from France and

3
00:00:08,320 --> 00:00:10,680
Speaker 1: very happy to be here with all of you. Still

4
00:00:10,720 --> 00:00:12,680
Speaker 1: not one hundred percent on the voice. Sorry about that.

5
00:00:12,840 --> 00:00:15,400
Speaker 1: Got a little sick when I was abroad. No shock there.

6
00:00:15,840 --> 00:00:18,880
Speaker 1: I don't know, man, this Miami situation, Clay, my immune

7
00:00:18,880 --> 00:00:20,319
Speaker 1: system is not what it used to be. If I

8
00:00:20,320 --> 00:00:23,200
Speaker 1: don't have perfect weather and the beach nearby that.

9
00:00:23,280 --> 00:00:28,240
Speaker 2: All the time, anytime you leave and go anywhere. Now

10
00:00:28,360 --> 00:00:30,720
Speaker 2: that you're in perfect weather all the time around a

11
00:00:30,760 --> 00:00:32,959
Speaker 2: little bit of a subtle shock. You got to get

12
00:00:32,960 --> 00:00:34,360
Speaker 2: back to the New York City, got it back to

13
00:00:34,440 --> 00:00:38,360
Speaker 2: eaton and you know, rat infested pizza parlors in New

14
00:00:38,440 --> 00:00:41,840
Speaker 2: York City, to get the immune system back up and running.

15
00:00:42,159 --> 00:00:45,000
Speaker 1: You know, communism one of the things you wouldn't expect.

16
00:00:45,080 --> 00:00:47,360
Speaker 1: Maybe good for the immune system. Speaking of New York,

17
00:00:47,360 --> 00:00:49,440
Speaker 1: we got a lot of stories. Obviously, the Iran situation

18
00:00:49,479 --> 00:00:51,080
Speaker 1: will dive into I haven't had a chance to talk

19
00:00:51,080 --> 00:00:53,680
Speaker 1: to you about it yet. I'm gone just about a week.

20
00:00:53,720 --> 00:00:56,400
Speaker 1: And you know, sure enough, Clay almost gets us into

21
00:00:56,400 --> 00:00:57,080
Speaker 1: World War three?

22
00:00:57,120 --> 00:00:58,840
Speaker 3: Who knew, Clay? What are you doing? Buddy.

23
00:00:58,880 --> 00:01:00,920
Speaker 1: You know, I thought you might throw a party. I

24
00:01:00,920 --> 00:01:03,680
Speaker 1: didn't think you might start a global conflict. But we've

25
00:01:03,720 --> 00:01:06,600
Speaker 1: got a lot to get into with Iran and the

26
00:01:06,720 --> 00:01:09,639
Speaker 1: strikes there over the weekend. As you know, President Trump

27
00:01:09,800 --> 00:01:14,000
Speaker 1: ordered the bunker busters to be used and substantial damage

28
00:01:14,040 --> 00:01:17,720
Speaker 1: done to the three main nuclear facilities in Iran. In Iran,

29
00:01:17,800 --> 00:01:21,240
Speaker 1: We've got also some live updates on that one coming

30
00:01:21,400 --> 00:01:23,319
Speaker 1: from the news wires here. In just a moment I

31
00:01:23,319 --> 00:01:27,959
Speaker 1: mentioned New York City though. This guy's Zoran Mamadani, who

32
00:01:28,560 --> 00:01:33,880
Speaker 1: is really a shocking socialist, I mean, is a straight

33
00:01:33,920 --> 00:01:36,360
Speaker 1: out of He's actually even crazier I think than Bernie

34
00:01:36,360 --> 00:01:40,400
Speaker 1: Sanders in some ways. He is surging ahead in the

35
00:01:40,440 --> 00:01:43,920
Speaker 1: Democrat primary polling in my old hometown of New York,

36
00:01:44,480 --> 00:01:46,959
Speaker 1: which is just going to be disastrous if he ends

37
00:01:47,040 --> 00:01:49,560
Speaker 1: up as much as I I don't know. I just

38
00:01:49,600 --> 00:01:52,080
Speaker 1: spise Cuoma because of what he did during COVID, But

39
00:01:52,200 --> 00:01:55,080
Speaker 1: I don't think he is a complete lunatic. I think

40
00:01:55,080 --> 00:01:57,640
Speaker 1: this guy is a total lunatic politically speaking. He's out

41
00:01:57,680 --> 00:02:00,920
Speaker 1: of his mind Mamdani. So we'll get into that. We've

42
00:02:00,960 --> 00:02:04,800
Speaker 1: also got gosh, so much as is generally the case

43
00:02:04,840 --> 00:02:09,880
Speaker 1: on a Monday, the President weighing in on what will

44
00:02:09,880 --> 00:02:14,000
Speaker 1: happen if anybody decides to mess with us. The Iran

45
00:02:14,080 --> 00:02:18,919
Speaker 1: strikes obviously occurred over the weekend the US involved. Last

46
00:02:19,320 --> 00:02:21,040
Speaker 1: I remember, Clay and I were in the Oval Office

47
00:02:21,040 --> 00:02:25,160
Speaker 1: a few hours later these strikes on Ironica by the

48
00:02:25,240 --> 00:02:29,400
Speaker 1: Israeli Air Force. That was last not this Thursday, the

49
00:02:29,480 --> 00:02:33,000
Speaker 1: Thursday before, right Thursday before that. And so here we

50
00:02:33,040 --> 00:02:37,400
Speaker 1: are now really two weeks into this conflict, and over

51
00:02:37,440 --> 00:02:42,480
Speaker 1: this weekend, President Trump ordered the deployment of our two

52
00:02:42,480 --> 00:02:45,040
Speaker 1: point four billion dollars apiece, when you add the full

53
00:02:45,120 --> 00:02:48,840
Speaker 1: scope of the program, in B two bombers, also Tomahawk

54
00:02:48,919 --> 00:02:52,760
Speaker 1: missiles fired from our nuclear subs. So two of the

55
00:02:52,880 --> 00:02:56,640
Speaker 1: three parts of the nuclear triad involved in the strikes

56
00:02:56,680 --> 00:03:00,840
Speaker 1: are nuclear triad involved in the strikes on these reactors

57
00:03:00,840 --> 00:03:05,399
Speaker 1: and these research facilities that the Iranians had been operating

58
00:03:05,440 --> 00:03:08,320
Speaker 1: and refused to negotiate their way out of this story

59
00:03:08,400 --> 00:03:10,640
Speaker 1: right now. And look my assessment, some of you were asking,

60
00:03:10,680 --> 00:03:12,600
Speaker 1: and it was really because I was overseas and I

61
00:03:12,760 --> 00:03:15,760
Speaker 1: was six hours ahead, and mysel you know, I had

62
00:03:15,760 --> 00:03:19,400
Speaker 1: to make sure that I was paying attention to world

63
00:03:19,400 --> 00:03:23,359
Speaker 1: events while also representing US abroad for our wonderful advertisers

64
00:03:23,480 --> 00:03:27,840
Speaker 1: or possible advertisers. But Clay, I think that a lot

65
00:03:27,880 --> 00:03:31,160
Speaker 1: of what you've shared on the strikes I would agree

66
00:03:31,160 --> 00:03:36,120
Speaker 1: with in terms of its incredible military precision. Tactically, both

67
00:03:36,160 --> 00:03:42,200
Speaker 1: the Israeli and American components of this have been remarkable,

68
00:03:42,640 --> 00:03:46,120
Speaker 1: and the Iranian response has been far more inept and

69
00:03:47,760 --> 00:03:51,280
Speaker 1: weak than I would have even anticipated. We could have

70
00:03:51,320 --> 00:03:55,920
Speaker 1: witnessed what I would call the greatest aerial strike success,

71
00:03:56,520 --> 00:04:00,960
Speaker 1: certainly in this century and perhaps even going back a century.

72
00:04:01,680 --> 00:04:04,280
Speaker 1: Now we are waiting to see what comes of this, Clay.

73
00:04:04,320 --> 00:04:07,560
Speaker 1: We've got the imminent threat. This is the big headline

74
00:04:07,600 --> 00:04:11,680
Speaker 1: across Fox News and other sites right now.

75
00:04:11,720 --> 00:04:12,720
Speaker 3: This look, this is the concern.

76
00:04:12,800 --> 00:04:16,240
Speaker 1: Right The concern is what is the the blowback? What

77
00:04:16,279 --> 00:04:19,520
Speaker 1: are the consequences of these strikes? We worry about terrorist cells.

78
00:04:19,520 --> 00:04:22,919
Speaker 1: I think that's the highest likelihood threat, but also the

79
00:04:22,960 --> 00:04:27,320
Speaker 1: lowest impact threat against US strategic interests. You know of

80
00:04:27,400 --> 00:04:30,719
Speaker 1: some lunatic somewhere, you know, God forbid, but he shoots

81
00:04:30,720 --> 00:04:33,600
Speaker 1: a few people or worse, that's not going to change

82
00:04:33,600 --> 00:04:35,080
Speaker 1: the trajectory of the War of the Middle least, it's

83
00:04:35,120 --> 00:04:37,560
Speaker 1: just a spie act of a terrorist or spiteful act

84
00:04:37,560 --> 00:04:40,560
Speaker 1: of a terrorist. But you have something here where you

85
00:04:40,600 --> 00:04:44,920
Speaker 1: have military action that is apparently imminent from the Iranian

86
00:04:44,960 --> 00:04:50,040
Speaker 1: regime firing at bases in our US base and Cutter,

87
00:04:50,560 --> 00:04:56,080
Speaker 1: so striking obviously Katari soil and going after or rather

88
00:04:56,120 --> 00:04:58,640
Speaker 1: you know, in the sovereignty of Cutter, going after US

89
00:04:58,760 --> 00:04:59,800
Speaker 1: base is placed there.

90
00:05:00,480 --> 00:05:02,320
Speaker 3: If this happens, I think we can expect a.

91
00:05:02,279 --> 00:05:07,159
Speaker 1: Major escalation, a retaliatory escalation clay from Trump. And I

92
00:05:07,200 --> 00:05:09,360
Speaker 1: think that this is the concern a lot of people have.

93
00:05:10,080 --> 00:05:12,440
Speaker 1: What we've seen so far has been a remarkable success.

94
00:05:12,480 --> 00:05:14,080
Speaker 1: What happens next is the big question.

95
00:05:15,560 --> 00:05:18,599
Speaker 2: Look, I think welcome back and glad to have you

96
00:05:18,640 --> 00:05:24,080
Speaker 2: back stateside. And I think that Trump had to make

97
00:05:24,880 --> 00:05:29,240
Speaker 2: the most consequential decision of his presidency so far, and

98
00:05:29,440 --> 00:05:32,240
Speaker 2: I think he made the right one. And so Saturday

99
00:05:32,360 --> 00:05:37,800
Speaker 2: evening we attacked the B two bomber pilots, all of

100
00:05:37,839 --> 00:05:40,599
Speaker 2: the individuals who fired the shots from.

101
00:05:41,960 --> 00:05:43,160
Speaker 4: Our submarines.

102
00:05:43,839 --> 00:05:49,080
Speaker 2: It's an incredible statement for American no how and I

103
00:05:49,080 --> 00:05:51,159
Speaker 2: think you also have to extend it. We have talked

104
00:05:51,160 --> 00:05:55,320
Speaker 2: a lot about this. There were no leaks. Trump one

105
00:05:55,360 --> 00:05:59,960
Speaker 2: point zero was a sieve. Everything immediately got out Trump

106
00:06:00,040 --> 00:06:04,880
Speaker 2: two point zero, Pete Hegseth, Marco Rubio, Jade Vance, obviously

107
00:06:04,920 --> 00:06:09,040
Speaker 2: Trump himself, everybody in the National Security team, Tulsea Gabbard.

108
00:06:09,680 --> 00:06:15,600
Speaker 2: They delivered a magisterial plan and performance in terms of

109
00:06:15,960 --> 00:06:16,720
Speaker 2: the attacks.

110
00:06:16,839 --> 00:06:21,200
Speaker 4: Now you went through this once before.

111
00:06:22,160 --> 00:06:25,400
Speaker 2: To me, the question that we are monitoring, as we

112
00:06:25,440 --> 00:06:29,960
Speaker 2: are speaking to all of you, is how will Iran respond?

113
00:06:30,160 --> 00:06:32,600
Speaker 2: And there seems to be an expectation that they will

114
00:06:32,640 --> 00:06:37,040
Speaker 2: respond in some way by attempting to attack American forces

115
00:06:37,080 --> 00:06:40,880
Speaker 2: in the Middle East, which is not dissimilar to what happened.

116
00:06:40,880 --> 00:06:44,080
Speaker 2: And you could probably speak to this very well. After

117
00:06:44,640 --> 00:06:49,680
Speaker 2: Trump killed Cassim Solimani and so many people out there said, oh, Mike,

118
00:06:49,800 --> 00:06:54,920
Speaker 2: you remember World War three was trending. Everybody lost their minds.

119
00:06:55,320 --> 00:06:59,640
Speaker 2: There were injuries to American troops, thankfully no deaths, and

120
00:06:59,680 --> 00:07:03,360
Speaker 2: then it was like, okay, Iran got to have their

121
00:07:03,400 --> 00:07:08,479
Speaker 2: public reprisal against the Great Satan, but it was not

122
00:07:08,640 --> 00:07:12,800
Speaker 2: a substantial response in terms of its devastating impact by

123
00:07:12,840 --> 00:07:14,240
Speaker 2: any stretch of the imagination.

124
00:07:14,880 --> 00:07:15,800
Speaker 4: And we moved on.

125
00:07:16,360 --> 00:07:18,880
Speaker 2: I wonder what the decision is going to be of

126
00:07:18,920 --> 00:07:23,240
Speaker 2: the Ayah tolahs from a face saving perspective, what will

127
00:07:23,280 --> 00:07:25,840
Speaker 2: they do now? I think is one of the questions

128
00:07:25,880 --> 00:07:28,640
Speaker 2: that lingers. I think you would sign off with me

129
00:07:29,040 --> 00:07:32,920
Speaker 2: on Trump's decision to wipe out much of the nuclear

130
00:07:33,000 --> 00:07:37,080
Speaker 2: capabilities of Iran sent an important message. It was necessary

131
00:07:37,120 --> 00:07:40,160
Speaker 2: since Iran seemed to have no interest in actually negotiating,

132
00:07:40,480 --> 00:07:44,560
Speaker 2: we kind of forecast that this would be likely the outcome.

133
00:07:44,760 --> 00:07:48,200
Speaker 2: I think the vast majority of the Trump supporters, voters,

134
00:07:48,280 --> 00:07:50,800
Speaker 2: all of you out there listening, agree, Some disagree, and

135
00:07:50,840 --> 00:07:53,840
Speaker 2: that's okay. It's healthy to disagree. We should have big

136
00:07:53,880 --> 00:07:57,360
Speaker 2: debates in public on major issues. But I think now

137
00:07:57,400 --> 00:07:58,680
Speaker 2: the question is what's next.

138
00:07:59,240 --> 00:08:02,000
Speaker 1: Well, I also think think that it's not a finished

139
00:08:02,480 --> 00:08:05,000
Speaker 1: situation by any means, And so for anyone to come

140
00:08:05,040 --> 00:08:08,120
Speaker 1: to a conclusion on this, uh, you know, you have

141
00:08:08,160 --> 00:08:12,320
Speaker 1: to remember everyone I worked in that Office of Iraq Analysis,

142
00:08:12,360 --> 00:08:17,640
Speaker 1: it was called actually OIA, that had been the place

143
00:08:17,720 --> 00:08:20,560
Speaker 1: that was also responsible for before I got there. Don't

144
00:08:20,560 --> 00:08:25,080
Speaker 1: blame me for the WMD analysis largely in Iraq. And

145
00:08:25,600 --> 00:08:27,960
Speaker 1: to look at what the Iraq War was, now that's

146
00:08:27,960 --> 00:08:29,320
Speaker 1: a that's a full scale invasion.

147
00:08:29,320 --> 00:08:29,960
Speaker 3: It's very different.

148
00:08:29,960 --> 00:08:31,640
Speaker 1: I understand this and One of the problems we have

149
00:08:31,760 --> 00:08:34,760
Speaker 1: here is that people can pick their you know, this

150
00:08:35,200 --> 00:08:38,240
Speaker 1: is this World War two and Neville Chamberlain situation, or

151
00:08:38,320 --> 00:08:41,560
Speaker 1: is this Gulf of Tonkin incident or is everyone can

152
00:08:41,559 --> 00:08:46,480
Speaker 1: pick whatever the historical analogy they want is for this

153
00:08:46,559 --> 00:08:48,760
Speaker 1: situation and try to find a way to fit this in.

154
00:08:49,400 --> 00:08:53,120
Speaker 1: This is a no surprise, is a unique and complicated

155
00:08:53,160 --> 00:08:57,040
Speaker 1: circumstance that is specific to exactly what we are seeing here.

156
00:08:57,320 --> 00:08:58,400
Speaker 3: Meaning you can.

157
00:08:58,320 --> 00:09:01,719
Speaker 1: Draw some lessons from other things, but nothing else is

158
00:09:01,760 --> 00:09:04,400
Speaker 1: a roadmap for this, because this is still happening and

159
00:09:04,440 --> 00:09:07,040
Speaker 1: this is different from everything else that we have seen.

160
00:09:07,280 --> 00:09:09,559
Speaker 1: Can the government lie to you, Yes? Absolutely, is Mission

161
00:09:09,559 --> 00:09:13,480
Speaker 1: creeper real thing? Absolutely? Should there be concerns about you know,

162
00:09:13,880 --> 00:09:17,760
Speaker 1: those as well as other aspects of this, Yes there should. However,

163
00:09:18,400 --> 00:09:22,199
Speaker 1: so far, what we've seen is the Irani nuclear program

164
00:09:22,240 --> 00:09:26,000
Speaker 1: brought to an end with minimal casualties both on the

165
00:09:26,000 --> 00:09:29,760
Speaker 1: good guy side and minimal civilian casualties on the Iranian side,

166
00:09:30,280 --> 00:09:35,520
Speaker 1: and the response from the Iranians has been almost nothing.

167
00:09:35,559 --> 00:09:36,839
Speaker 1: I mean, let's just call up what it is. The

168
00:09:36,880 --> 00:09:41,880
Speaker 1: Iranians have been, I think taken very much by surprise

169
00:09:41,920 --> 00:09:45,440
Speaker 1: by how effective these strikes were and as I said

170
00:09:45,440 --> 00:09:48,439
Speaker 1: initially when this first happened, when the Israelis opened up,

171
00:09:49,000 --> 00:09:51,680
Speaker 1: if you have a great capability to counter attack somebody,

172
00:09:51,720 --> 00:09:54,199
Speaker 1: you don't let your entire military leadership get wiped out

173
00:09:54,240 --> 00:09:57,600
Speaker 1: in the first hour of the war. Okay, that's the truth.

174
00:09:57,760 --> 00:10:02,760
Speaker 1: There's no playing possum here. There's no oh wait, we

175
00:10:01,760 --> 00:10:05,080
Speaker 1: we're lulling them into a full sense of false sense

176
00:10:05,080 --> 00:10:08,200
Speaker 1: of security by letting them take out, you know, most

177
00:10:08,240 --> 00:10:11,480
Speaker 1: of our major military assets, most of our military leadership.

178
00:10:11,760 --> 00:10:12,400
Speaker 3: No, of course not.

179
00:10:13,160 --> 00:10:19,720
Speaker 1: So you're talking about a largely defanged Iranian military. Certainly

180
00:10:19,760 --> 00:10:22,920
Speaker 1: for external operations at this point. It's very different when

181
00:10:22,960 --> 00:10:27,480
Speaker 1: you get into something like nation building or counterinsurgency or

182
00:10:27,520 --> 00:10:29,839
Speaker 1: regime change or anything like that. Then it's just people

183
00:10:29,840 --> 00:10:32,320
Speaker 1: walking around the streets with Ak forty seven. Can you

184
00:10:32,320 --> 00:10:34,880
Speaker 1: know ruin a much larger armory. We've we've learned that lesson,

185
00:10:34,880 --> 00:10:37,199
Speaker 1: but we're not there. So we need to line these

186
00:10:37,240 --> 00:10:39,920
Speaker 1: things up with where we are. And I just clay

187
00:10:39,960 --> 00:10:42,439
Speaker 1: one thing. I was observing a lot of this as

188
00:10:42,440 --> 00:10:44,800
Speaker 1: I was in France and doing my thing and smoking

189
00:10:44,840 --> 00:10:45,520
Speaker 1: my Actually I.

190
00:10:45,520 --> 00:10:48,800
Speaker 3: Did not smoke any Gala was because that would that would.

191
00:10:48,559 --> 00:10:51,480
Speaker 1: Have been bad for my could But I observed all

192
00:10:51,559 --> 00:10:57,160
Speaker 1: these things, and people want to declare things as either right,

193
00:10:57,280 --> 00:10:59,880
Speaker 1: that they were either right or wrong based on what's happened,

194
00:11:00,040 --> 00:11:03,240
Speaker 1: And I would just say that nobody knows yet.

195
00:11:03,400 --> 00:11:03,760
Speaker 3: Really.

196
00:11:04,000 --> 00:11:06,000
Speaker 1: If you've been saying world War three would break out

197
00:11:06,040 --> 00:11:08,680
Speaker 1: right away, yeah, clearly that's not true. The notion that

198
00:11:08,720 --> 00:11:11,160
Speaker 1: the Iranian that the Iranians we're going to be able

199
00:11:11,200 --> 00:11:13,800
Speaker 1: to turn to Russia and China and those two countries

200
00:11:13,800 --> 00:11:16,040
Speaker 1: were going to militarily intervene against the United States or

201
00:11:16,120 --> 00:11:19,240
Speaker 1: that's insane. And I saw a lot of people saying that. Unfortunately,

202
00:11:19,240 --> 00:11:21,160
Speaker 1: that's just not based in any reality of anyone who

203
00:11:21,240 --> 00:11:24,480
Speaker 1: understands really how national security works at the most fundamental level,

204
00:11:24,480 --> 00:11:27,199
Speaker 1: because there's no interest in those countries in doing that.

205
00:11:27,400 --> 00:11:29,120
Speaker 3: Why would they do that? Doesn't make any sense.

206
00:11:30,280 --> 00:11:33,160
Speaker 1: But then again, we're waiting to see, as we talk

207
00:11:33,200 --> 00:11:35,600
Speaker 1: to you right now, in real time, if there are

208
00:11:35,640 --> 00:11:38,319
Speaker 1: major strikes on US military basis and what that looks

209
00:11:38,360 --> 00:11:40,880
Speaker 1: like and what our countermeasures are. So I just say

210
00:11:40,880 --> 00:11:44,120
Speaker 1: to everybody, we don't know yet. We're watching this as

211
00:11:44,120 --> 00:11:48,320
Speaker 1: it goes. I think Trump made the right call. I

212
00:11:48,360 --> 00:11:53,719
Speaker 1: think the Israelis so far were far more successful than

213
00:11:53,920 --> 00:11:57,679
Speaker 1: most people anticipated they could be this quickly. Now we

214
00:11:57,720 --> 00:11:59,559
Speaker 1: see what happens next. Now we see what the next

215
00:11:59,559 --> 00:12:01,800
Speaker 1: phase is. So I will take calls on this and

216
00:12:02,080 --> 00:12:04,360
Speaker 1: dive into it more here and Clay's watching closely on

217
00:12:04,400 --> 00:12:06,400
Speaker 1: the monitors as we see Iman. Obviously we're thinking about

218
00:12:06,440 --> 00:12:09,400
Speaker 1: our troops too, and we don't want we don't want

219
00:12:09,400 --> 00:12:12,000
Speaker 1: to have any losses on our side, so we'll watch this.

220
00:12:12,120 --> 00:12:13,760
Speaker 2: I think what you hit as we go to break here,

221
00:12:13,800 --> 00:12:19,319
Speaker 2: Buck is super significant. Iran is isolated, and pay attention

222
00:12:19,400 --> 00:12:22,520
Speaker 2: to what people do, not always what they say. There's

223
00:12:22,559 --> 00:12:25,200
Speaker 2: nobody in the Middle East that is actually lined up

224
00:12:25,240 --> 00:12:28,400
Speaker 2: aggressively behind Iran. In fact, most of them are behind

225
00:12:28,440 --> 00:12:31,520
Speaker 2: Israel in the United States, And on top of that,

226
00:12:31,720 --> 00:12:34,679
Speaker 2: this idea that somehow China or Russia we're going to

227
00:12:34,760 --> 00:12:38,080
Speaker 2: get involved. China and Russia don't actually want I don't

228
00:12:38,080 --> 00:12:41,000
Speaker 2: think a nuclear Iran. I don't think they trust the

229
00:12:41,080 --> 00:12:45,080
Speaker 2: Ayatolas with nuclear weapons, and so they have been very

230
00:12:45,160 --> 00:12:48,360
Speaker 2: muted in their criticisms as well. Some countries are going

231
00:12:48,440 --> 00:12:52,320
Speaker 2: to chirp, but in terms of actions, I don't know

232
00:12:52,400 --> 00:12:56,560
Speaker 2: that we have ever seen Iran more isolated in terms

233
00:12:56,600 --> 00:13:00,600
Speaker 2: of actual support and backing, which is why the idea

234
00:13:00,760 --> 00:13:03,920
Speaker 2: of oh what comes next World War? Iie, No, actually,

235
00:13:03,960 --> 00:13:07,320
Speaker 2: there aren't people allied with Iran who were willing to

236
00:13:07,360 --> 00:13:11,120
Speaker 2: put themselves on the line over this. Now again, we

237
00:13:11,200 --> 00:13:14,240
Speaker 2: may well get an Iranian response officially live on the

238
00:13:14,280 --> 00:13:18,080
Speaker 2: air as this show progresses, based on the way things

239
00:13:18,080 --> 00:13:19,800
Speaker 2: are looking right now, we will update you on the

240
00:13:19,880 --> 00:13:23,120
Speaker 2: latest there. But in terms of everything falling apart after

241
00:13:23,160 --> 00:13:25,280
Speaker 2: this strike, to me so far, it feels like the

242
00:13:25,320 --> 00:13:29,480
Speaker 2: Solmani assassination, where Iran talks a big game but isn't

243
00:13:29,520 --> 00:13:32,640
Speaker 2: able to actually respond in a significant way, and maybe

244
00:13:33,040 --> 00:13:36,400
Speaker 2: doesn't even want to respond in a significant way.

245
00:13:36,559 --> 00:13:40,319
Speaker 1: I was aware, Clay very of the highest level discussions

246
00:13:40,880 --> 00:13:44,200
Speaker 1: back in the Iraq War days. I want to say,

247
00:13:44,280 --> 00:13:46,880
Speaker 1: you know, late in the Bush administration, early the Obama

248
00:13:46,880 --> 00:13:50,600
Speaker 1: administration in that era, high level discussions about what to

249
00:13:50,640 --> 00:13:54,640
Speaker 1: do when it came to the IRGC coulds force and

250
00:13:54,679 --> 00:13:58,640
Speaker 1: Solomani and the consensus on the policy side, not from

251
00:13:58,640 --> 00:14:01,600
Speaker 1: the war. The war fighters wanted to take him out

252
00:14:01,679 --> 00:14:04,880
Speaker 1: because he was killing more fellow warfighters. He was just

253
00:14:05,120 --> 00:14:09,080
Speaker 1: handing these EFPs explosly foreign penetrators to the Shea militias

254
00:14:09,080 --> 00:14:11,480
Speaker 1: to deploy specifically against our troops. They wanted to take

255
00:14:11,520 --> 00:14:14,760
Speaker 1: them out. Policy community said, oh no, it'll it'll create

256
00:14:14,800 --> 00:14:16,320
Speaker 1: so much of a you know, we'll have to worry

257
00:14:16,320 --> 00:14:19,760
Speaker 1: about the Arab streets so much or whatever. They were wrong.

258
00:14:20,760 --> 00:14:24,040
Speaker 1: So on the costom Solomoni thing, we saw the results.

259
00:14:24,040 --> 00:14:25,880
Speaker 1: We saw what happened to the people that said you

260
00:14:25,880 --> 00:14:28,600
Speaker 1: can't hit that guy. They were wrong and Trump proved

261
00:14:28,600 --> 00:14:31,280
Speaker 1: them wrong. So now we see it's going to take

262
00:14:31,280 --> 00:14:33,960
Speaker 1: a little more time. We see taking out the reactors,

263
00:14:33,960 --> 00:14:37,040
Speaker 1: the US getting involved in taking out the reactors. Was

264
00:14:37,080 --> 00:14:40,960
Speaker 1: this a brilliant master stroke tactically and otherwise to end

265
00:14:40,960 --> 00:14:45,640
Speaker 1: the Iranian regimes nuclear ambitions for the foreseeable future, or

266
00:14:46,240 --> 00:14:49,240
Speaker 1: is it something else we'll see. We know that the

267
00:14:49,280 --> 00:14:52,960
Speaker 1: media is getting very fired up about these stories this week,

268
00:14:52,960 --> 00:14:55,280
Speaker 1: but what's not getting a lot of attention is a

269
00:14:55,320 --> 00:14:57,880
Speaker 1: study under a view of our nation's largest assets and

270
00:14:57,920 --> 00:15:00,120
Speaker 1: whether they can be monetized for the benefit of a

271
00:15:00,160 --> 00:15:02,600
Speaker 1: sovereign wealth fund. There's at least one guy out there

272
00:15:02,600 --> 00:15:04,120
Speaker 1: who is out a history, a long one in DC

273
00:15:04,280 --> 00:15:06,120
Speaker 1: and Wall Street who's paying attention to this. His name

274
00:15:06,200 --> 00:15:08,320
Speaker 1: is Jim Rickards. He's one of those in the know

275
00:15:08,600 --> 00:15:11,800
Speaker 1: people with great insights on a potential forthcoming opportunity with

276
00:15:11,960 --> 00:15:14,640
Speaker 1: huge benefit to our nation and to you in particular.

277
00:15:14,720 --> 00:15:17,840
Speaker 1: Jim Rickards is tracking the possible creation of the first

278
00:15:17,880 --> 00:15:20,680
Speaker 1: ever national sovereign wealth fund. This is a fund that

279
00:15:20,720 --> 00:15:23,600
Speaker 1: provides a return to citizens or retires national debt, which

280
00:15:23,600 --> 00:15:27,120
Speaker 1: benefits everybody. Jim thinks that this could be coming because

281
00:15:27,120 --> 00:15:30,040
Speaker 1: of an asset buried under American soil that would allow

282
00:15:30,160 --> 00:15:32,880
Speaker 1: us to have a sovereign wealth fund. To hear more

283
00:15:32,920 --> 00:15:35,520
Speaker 1: of Jim Rickards thinking, go to Birthright twenty twenty five

284

Speaker 1: dot com. A lot of this conversation as a result

285
00:15:38,080 --> 00:15:41,240
Speaker 1: of President Trump's instigation on this issue could make Trump

286
00:15:41,280 --> 00:15:43,560
Speaker 1: the most popular president in history and help millions of

287
00:15:43,560 --> 00:15:47,240

Speaker 4: Welcome back in Play.

295
00:16:07,080 --> 00:16:11,160
Speaker 2: Travis Buck Sexton Show. It probably is not going to

296
00:16:11,280 --> 00:16:12,800
Speaker 2: surprise you. And by the way, I don't think we

297
00:16:12,840 --> 00:16:14,840
Speaker 2: have any guest schedule today, so we'll take some of

298
00:16:14,880 --> 00:16:15,320
Speaker 2: your calls.

299
00:16:15,360 --> 00:16:17,200
Speaker 4: Talkbacks were phenomenal last week.

300
00:16:17,240 --> 00:16:19,320
Speaker 2: If you want to be able to ask questions, get

301
00:16:19,360 --> 00:16:22,120
Speaker 2: in rapidly eight hundred and two A two two eight

302
00:16:22,120 --> 00:16:26,520
Speaker 2: A two. It probably will not surprise you that Democrats,

303
00:16:26,520 --> 00:16:30,760
Speaker 2: even though they shouldn't necessarily be lining up because this

304
00:16:30,800 --> 00:16:34,480
Speaker 2: is this is something that should be not particularly partisan

305
00:16:34,520 --> 00:16:38,480
Speaker 2: in nature, that virtually every Democrat has lined up saying

306
00:16:38,560 --> 00:16:41,680
Speaker 2: that what Trump did is not only unacceptable, but AOC

307
00:16:42,320 --> 00:16:45,480
Speaker 2: within an hour of the attacks said that Trump had

308
00:16:45,520 --> 00:16:50,480
Speaker 2: to be impeached, which even for me, who expected them

309
00:16:50,520 --> 00:16:54,320
Speaker 2: to behave in an outrageous fashion, even for me, I

310
00:16:54,360 --> 00:16:55,960
Speaker 2: saw that and I thought this is crazy.

311
00:16:56,000 --> 00:16:58,760
Speaker 4: Impeached for this, But this was AOC response.

312
00:16:58,840 --> 00:17:03,360
Speaker 3: Obama drones like to sixteen year old American citizen that

313
00:17:03,480 --> 00:17:04,400
Speaker 3: actually happened.

314
00:17:05,119 --> 00:17:07,400
Speaker 4: A sixteen year old yeah.

315
00:17:07,280 --> 00:17:09,040
Speaker 1: And knew what he was, you know, He's like sorry,

316
00:17:09,200 --> 00:17:11,920
Speaker 1: you know, and we're Alacki's son, like, gotta take him out.

317
00:17:12,640 --> 00:17:14,280
Speaker 1: And then they tried to say, oh, it's classified, no

318
00:17:14,280 --> 00:17:15,679
Speaker 1: one can talk about it. Though yeah, and then the

319
00:17:15,680 --> 00:17:18,639
Speaker 1: press all wrote about it. I mean this, they said, Clay,

320
00:17:18,920 --> 00:17:22,800
Speaker 1: we have dropped under the Obama year. Specifically, we were

321
00:17:22,880 --> 00:17:26,119
Speaker 1: dropping bombs in Libya. We all know about that, and

322
00:17:26,840 --> 00:17:28,840
Speaker 1: you know we drop bombs at Syria and some all yeah,

323
00:17:28,840 --> 00:17:29,760
Speaker 1: I mean, you get on the list.

324
00:17:30,119 --> 00:17:31,680
Speaker 3: And now all of a sudden, they're like, you can't

325
00:17:31,720 --> 00:17:33,320
Speaker 3: take a strike. That's an American interest.

326
00:17:33,320 --> 00:17:36,159
Speaker 1: But as a Ninth Circuit judge going to enjoin Trump

327
00:17:36,160 --> 00:17:37,760
Speaker 1: from doing anything for the military.

328
00:17:38,160 --> 00:17:38,400
Speaker 4: Yeah.

329
00:17:38,400 --> 00:17:40,840
Speaker 2: That was what was trending after the attacks was that

330
00:17:40,880 --> 00:17:43,919
Speaker 2: a federal District court judge had mandated that Trump had

331
00:17:43,960 --> 00:17:47,200
Speaker 2: to clean up the mess from the attacks in Iran,

332
00:17:47,280 --> 00:17:49,600
Speaker 2: which sadly is not far from the truth if you

333
00:17:49,680 --> 00:17:53,280
Speaker 2: look from even this weekend some of the rulings from judges.

334
00:17:53,800 --> 00:17:54,679

Speaker 2: We'll continue to unpack major attack from Trump in Iran,

336
00:18:00,080 --> 00:18:02,520

337
00:18:03,160 --> 00:18:05,239

Speaker 1: come in on this report of the imminent threat against

357

358
00:19:15,119 --> 00:19:18,400
Speaker 1: from the region on what Israel has been hitting. You see, Clay,

359
00:19:18,400 --> 00:19:22,160
Speaker 1: they blew the doors off of, or the gates off

360
00:19:22,200 --> 00:19:27,120
Speaker 1: of the infamous Evan prison in Iran, which is where

361
00:19:27,119 --> 00:19:32,360
Speaker 1: they keep political prisoners, you know, high profile prisoners. It's

362
00:19:32,440 --> 00:19:34,720
Speaker 1: really just blew the gates open. It's on the front

363
00:19:34,760 --> 00:19:37,840
Speaker 1: page or on the It's funny, I say, front pages

364
00:19:37,880 --> 00:19:41,000
Speaker 1: if I actually like clay read paper papers, but you

365
00:19:41,040 --> 00:19:42,280
Speaker 1: know it's on the website.

366
00:19:42,320 --> 00:19:44,840
Speaker 2: I was walking around trying to find paper paper this

367
00:19:44,960 --> 00:19:47,480
Speaker 2: morning in Michigan. I'm doing the show from up here,

368
00:19:47,560 --> 00:19:50,439
Speaker 2: and I finally found paper paper to sit down and

369
00:19:50,440 --> 00:19:51,280
Speaker 2: do all my reading.

370
00:19:51,840 --> 00:19:53,600
Speaker 1: You and my dad, I don't even know he's you

371
00:19:53,680 --> 00:19:55,760
Speaker 1: guys can both also maneuver it around like it's no

372
00:19:55,840 --> 00:19:56,399
Speaker 1: problem on it.

373
00:19:56,600 --> 00:19:56,920
Speaker 3: I don't know.

374
00:19:57,119 --> 00:19:59,840
Speaker 2: It's large. Gets driven crazy by the amount of sound.

375
00:20:00,080 --> 00:20:02,160
Speaker 2: And even when I if there's a p if there's

376
00:20:02,200 --> 00:20:05,480
Speaker 2: an article on multiple pages, She's like, I don't even

377
00:20:05,480 --> 00:20:06,800
Speaker 2: want I don't even want to read it.

378
00:20:06,800 --> 00:20:07,760
Speaker 4: I don't know why they have to put it on

379
00:20:07,800 --> 00:20:08,360
Speaker 4: two pages.

380
00:20:08,800 --> 00:20:11,960
Speaker 1: I co sign with her on that one. But here

381
00:20:12,080 --> 00:20:14,359
Speaker 1: is from the weekend. I wanted you to hear it

382
00:20:14,400 --> 00:20:17,240
Speaker 1: from President Trump himself. Remember, this is a big decision

383
00:20:17,760 --> 00:20:20,879
Speaker 1: made by the Commander in chief to follow up the

384
00:20:20,920 --> 00:20:24,440
Speaker 1: Iranian strikes with a military capability that only the United

385
00:20:24,440 --> 00:20:30,120
Speaker 1: States has that really goes to among our most expensive

386
00:20:30,560 --> 00:20:36,520
Speaker 1: and a high tech and sensitive from a classified and

387
00:20:36,560 --> 00:20:39,479
Speaker 1: proprietary perspective, I mean, this is something we can do

388
00:20:39,600 --> 00:20:41,320
Speaker 1: no one else on the planet can do what the

389
00:20:41,400 --> 00:20:44,880
Speaker 1: US military did with these strikes in Iran. President over

390
00:20:44,880 --> 00:20:49,320
Speaker 1: the weekend, at about ten Eastern time on Saturday, addressed

391
00:20:49,400 --> 00:20:53,040
Speaker 1: the nation. He had Jad Kerry and I watched it

392
00:20:53,080 --> 00:20:54,800
Speaker 1: live as it happened. I'm sure many of you did

393
00:20:54,840 --> 00:20:56,240
Speaker 1: as well. But just so you can get a sense

394
00:20:56,240 --> 00:20:59,400
Speaker 1: as to what the President's view of the strikes does.

395
00:20:59,400 --> 00:21:01,320
Speaker 1: This happened on Some of you might not have even

396
00:21:01,359 --> 00:21:02,879
Speaker 1: heard it. This is cut one play it.

397
00:21:03,080 --> 00:21:06,840
Speaker 6: A short time ago, the US military carried out massive

398
00:21:06,880 --> 00:21:11,840
Speaker 6: precision strikes on the three key nuclear facilities in the

399
00:21:11,880 --> 00:21:20,040
Speaker 6: Iranian regime for doau Ntance and Esfahan. Everybody heard those

400
00:21:20,119 --> 00:21:25,400
Speaker 6: names for years as they built this horribly destructive enterprise.

401
00:21:26,280 --> 00:21:27,440
Speaker 3: Our objective was.

402
00:21:27,400 --> 00:21:32,639
Speaker 6: The destruction of Iran's nuclear enrichment capacity and a stop

403
00:21:32,720 --> 00:21:36,160
Speaker 6: to the nuclear threat posed by the world's number one

404
00:21:36,200 --> 00:21:37,520
Speaker 6: state sponsor of terror.

405
00:21:38,160 --> 00:21:39,560
Speaker 3: Tonight, I can report to the.

406
00:21:39,520 --> 00:21:45,280
Speaker 6: World that the strikes were a spectacular military success.

407
00:21:45,960 --> 00:21:47,440
Speaker 3: Iran's key nuclear.

408
00:21:47,040 --> 00:21:48,959
Speaker 6: And Richmond facilities.

409
00:21:48,320 --> 00:21:52,800
Speaker 7: Have been completely and totally obliterated. Rand the bully of

410
00:21:52,840 --> 00:21:56,679
Speaker 7: the Middle East, must now make peace. If they do not,

411
00:21:56,840 --> 00:21:58,919
Speaker 7: future attacks would be far greater.

412
00:21:58,880 --> 00:22:02,359
Speaker 1: And a lot easier to you. He made it very clear.

413
00:22:02,400 --> 00:22:06,520
Speaker 1: First of all, he's had spectacular success. And you know,

414
00:22:06,600 --> 00:22:08,800
Speaker 1: President Trump in what I think will be one of

415
00:22:08,840 --> 00:22:11,680
Speaker 1: the more memorable moments of not just his second term,

416
00:22:11,720 --> 00:22:15,800
Speaker 1: but really of his entire president presidency.

417
00:22:15,840 --> 00:22:17,840
Speaker 3: When all is said and done, there's a big moment. Clay.

418
00:22:17,880 --> 00:22:20,400
Speaker 1: We've been talking about the Iranian nuclear facilities and possible

419
00:22:20,400 --> 00:22:22,879
Speaker 1: strikes on them for decades now, I mean, this has

420
00:22:22,880 --> 00:22:24,960
Speaker 1: been a conversation going on for a very long time.

421
00:22:25,560 --> 00:22:27,359
Speaker 1: But notice this, Clay, and this is the part of

422
00:22:27,359 --> 00:22:29,560
Speaker 1: it that I think has to be factored into our

423
00:22:29,600 --> 00:22:33,960
Speaker 1: calculations about the success of this and about the risk

424
00:22:34,040 --> 00:22:38,960
Speaker 1: reward calculations. He's let the Iranians know if you mess around, now,

425
00:22:39,320 --> 00:22:40,280
Speaker 1: you know, that's it.

426
00:22:40,320 --> 00:22:41,960
Speaker 3: We did our thing. We hit your facility.

427
00:22:42,320 --> 00:22:45,800
Speaker 1: If you come at us with some terror strike or

428
00:22:45,840 --> 00:22:48,600
Speaker 1: you do something somewhere, we can hit you a lot

429
00:22:48,600 --> 00:22:49,840
Speaker 1: harder wherever we want to hit you.

430
00:22:50,080 --> 00:22:51,360
Speaker 3: It's not worth it to you.

431
00:22:51,720 --> 00:22:54,120
Speaker 1: So the question is what is the calculation made by

432
00:22:54,680 --> 00:22:58,880
Speaker 1: the Mullahs, by the Iranian regime itself. That's what remains

433
00:22:58,920 --> 00:23:00,919
Speaker 1: to be seen, and we could be finding out at

434
00:23:00,920 --> 00:23:01,440
Speaker 1: any moment.

435
00:23:01,960 --> 00:23:05,919
Speaker 2: Yeah, reports that the expected attack is in Qatar. I

436
00:23:05,920 --> 00:23:09,360
Speaker 2: mean question for you, if we have all of the

437
00:23:09,400 --> 00:23:14,040
Speaker 2: intel about where the attack is coming from, and theoretically

438
00:23:14,240 --> 00:23:17,760
Speaker 2: we're gonna remove our troops to keep them safe, how

439
00:23:17,840 --> 00:23:21,119
Speaker 2: much of letting them have a couple of missiles land

440
00:23:22,200 --> 00:23:26,840
Speaker 2: is just for show? In other words, it almost feels

441
00:23:26,920 --> 00:23:31,760
Speaker 2: like allowing your sparring partner to you know, kind of

442
00:23:31,800 --> 00:23:34,200
Speaker 2: catch you one in the ribs when you know it's

443
00:23:34,240 --> 00:23:38,000
Speaker 2: coming and it's not actually in any kind of significant danger,

444
00:23:38,480 --> 00:23:42,760
Speaker 2: because you're giving them the opportunity to look like, hey,

445
00:23:42,800 --> 00:23:45,960
Speaker 2: we returned fire, even though look if on a scale

446
00:23:46,040 --> 00:23:48,840
Speaker 2: of one to ten, our attack on them was a ten,

447
00:23:49,119 --> 00:23:52,159
Speaker 2: if they punched back with a one, it's like, Okay,

448
00:23:52,200 --> 00:23:55,520
Speaker 2: nothing really happened, but you're allowing them to save face

449
00:23:55,600 --> 00:23:57,320
Speaker 2: a bit. I mean, how much of this is in

450
00:23:57,400 --> 00:24:01,359
Speaker 2: other words, kabuki theater or almost on our side?

451
00:24:01,359 --> 00:24:03,840
Speaker 1: And this brings up and I know a lot of

452
00:24:03,880 --> 00:24:06,119
Speaker 1: you and we'll take some calls and some talkbacks on this,

453
00:24:06,160 --> 00:24:09,439
Speaker 1: because it's in there's in maga world. As you all know,

454
00:24:09,760 --> 00:24:15,200
Speaker 1: there are very very fervently held beliefs on this particular

455
00:24:15,240 --> 00:24:18,800
Speaker 1: issue that are not all in alignment. Okay, you really

456
00:24:18,920 --> 00:24:22,280
Speaker 1: have a non interventionist.

457
00:24:22,760 --> 00:24:25,280
Speaker 3: What are we doing? Have we not learned the lessons

458
00:24:25,320 --> 00:24:26,840
Speaker 3: wing of MAGA right now?

459
00:24:27,200 --> 00:24:30,600
Speaker 1: And then you have a Israel needs to not live

460
00:24:30,800 --> 00:24:35,400
Speaker 1: under the specter of nuclear threat from lunatics and this

461
00:24:35,480 --> 00:24:37,680
Speaker 1: is the time and we can do it, and we've

462
00:24:37,680 --> 00:24:39,919
Speaker 1: done it, and you know you have these two different

463
00:24:40,040 --> 00:24:42,199
Speaker 1: I'm very aware of this. I've been reading and a

464
00:24:42,200 --> 00:24:44,280
Speaker 1: lot of you know, some of the big voices on

465
00:24:44,280 --> 00:24:45,959
Speaker 1: one side, some of the big voices on the on

466
00:24:46,000 --> 00:24:46,800
Speaker 1: the other side.

467
00:24:47,119 --> 00:24:49,760
Speaker 3: So we have room for this discussion here. But Clay,

468
00:24:49,840 --> 00:24:50,120
Speaker 3: to the.

469
00:24:50,040 --> 00:24:53,840
Speaker 1: Point you're making it, it's about, well, do we want

470
00:24:54,040 --> 00:24:55,320
Speaker 1: you know, there's we want.

471
00:24:56,240 --> 00:24:57,919
Speaker 3: Let me be very clear about how I'm saying this.

472
00:24:58,560 --> 00:25:02,280
Speaker 1: There's what we like a regime change to occur, and

473
00:25:02,320 --> 00:25:05,200
Speaker 1: then there's do we want to take part in.

474
00:25:05,160 --> 00:25:06,600
Speaker 3: Any kind of regime change?

475
00:25:06,880 --> 00:25:09,440
Speaker 1: And do we realize if we go with number two,

476
00:25:10,240 --> 00:25:12,520
Speaker 1: what the implications of that may be. Like there's these

477
00:25:12,520 --> 00:25:15,640
Speaker 1: different phases or different tiers. I think that the Trump

478
00:25:15,680 --> 00:25:19,080
Speaker 1: administration wants a new government in Iran, but I think

479
00:25:19,080 --> 00:25:24,760
Speaker 1: they're very careful about not involving themselves further in overthrowing

480
00:25:24,840 --> 00:25:29,000
Speaker 1: the existing government, because we don't want to be in

481
00:25:29,000 --> 00:25:32,560
Speaker 1: a situation where there's Mission Creep and we're doing what

482
00:25:32,680 --> 00:25:35,960
Speaker 1: you know that and and I completely share that sentiment.

483
00:25:36,040 --> 00:25:37,840
Speaker 3: We should not be rebuilding.

484
00:25:37,920 --> 00:25:41,920
Speaker 2: Or in charge of Iraq. You you were there so

485
00:25:42,080 --> 00:25:44,840
Speaker 2: serving the country. So I mean, you know which, I

486
00:25:44,880 --> 00:25:46,280
Speaker 2: know a lot of listeners were.

487
00:25:46,480 --> 00:25:47,040
Speaker 4: I was not.

488
00:25:47,400 --> 00:25:51,280
Speaker 2: Most listeners were not. I would imagine your perspective, but

489
00:25:51,359 --> 00:25:54,080
Speaker 2: I was. I was interested to hear your perspective on

490
00:25:54,119 --> 00:25:58,240
Speaker 2: this in particular. There are obviously differences between Iran and Iraq,

491
00:25:58,560 --> 00:26:01,880
Speaker 2: but your perspective would be But I'm curious to hear

492
00:26:02,320 --> 00:26:06,280
Speaker 2: having seen the United States try to engineer a government

493
00:26:06,359 --> 00:26:10,160
Speaker 2: in Iraq. Now, Iran was involved in helping to try

494
00:26:10,200 --> 00:26:12,160
Speaker 2: to stop that from being in any way.

495
00:26:11,960 --> 00:26:13,320
Speaker 4: Successful, deeply involved.

496
00:26:13,359 --> 00:26:15,600
Speaker 1: I mean, it really subverted our efforts in the most

497
00:26:15,640 --> 00:26:16,800
Speaker 1: malicious ways they could.

498
00:26:16,800 --> 00:26:18,520
Speaker 2: But yeah, and I think a lot of times people

499
00:26:18,600 --> 00:26:22,200
Speaker 2: miss that that Iran has been a malign influence basically

500
00:26:22,240 --> 00:26:25,560
Speaker 2: on any thing that could be good in the Middle

501
00:26:25,560 --> 00:26:26,880
Speaker 2: East for some time to come.

502
00:26:27,240 --> 00:26:29,360
Speaker 4: But having been there.

503
00:26:29,240 --> 00:26:31,119
Speaker 2: I imagine you don't think it's a good idea to

504
00:26:31,160 --> 00:26:33,639
Speaker 2: have boots on the ground trying to impact in the

505
00:26:33,680 --> 00:26:37,000
Speaker 2: event there were regime change, the decisions made by the

506
00:26:37,000 --> 00:26:37,840
Speaker 2: Iranian people.

507
00:26:38,720 --> 00:26:39,560
Speaker 3: It's a that.

508
00:26:39,480 --> 00:26:42,280
Speaker 1: Would be an absolutely horrible idea, and there's one that

509
00:26:42,440 --> 00:26:47,600
Speaker 1: I would vociferously oppose in whatever ways are available to me.

510
00:26:47,720 --> 00:26:50,000
Speaker 1: Having seen Clayton, not just the reality in Rock, the

511
00:26:50,040 --> 00:26:53,000
Speaker 1: really in Afghanistan. Yeah, I saw even in two thousand.

512
00:26:53,000 --> 00:26:56,280
Speaker 1: I was an Afghanistan in twenty ten, and it was

513
00:26:56,359 --> 00:26:58,880
Speaker 1: when Obama had decided that this was the good war

514
00:26:58,920 --> 00:27:01,399
Speaker 1: in Iraq was the bad war. And anybody who was

515
00:27:01,440 --> 00:27:07,639
Speaker 1: in Afghanistan then, and remember I had essentially like delivery

516
00:27:07,720 --> 00:27:10,879
Speaker 1: of I was almost like a highly classified gopher. I

517
00:27:10,920 --> 00:27:15,480
Speaker 1: would deliver classified among principles in theater. So I would

518
00:27:15,600 --> 00:27:17,480
Speaker 1: take the stuff to the ambassador. I would take the

519
00:27:17,480 --> 00:27:21,359
Speaker 1: stuff to the four star general, and I mean hand

520
00:27:21,359 --> 00:27:24,480
Speaker 1: carry like you know, hard copy stuff. And I just

521
00:27:24,560 --> 00:27:28,080
Speaker 1: remember any of this, and I had to read the assessments.

522
00:27:28,119 --> 00:27:29,520
Speaker 1: I had to be familiar with what was going on.

523
00:27:30,200 --> 00:27:31,680
Speaker 1: If you knew what was going on in I Rock,

524
00:27:31,720 --> 00:27:33,679
Speaker 1: I mean in Afghanistan in twenty ten, you knew that

525
00:27:33,800 --> 00:27:36,960
Speaker 1: the policy was failing and had no chance of success.

526
00:27:37,720 --> 00:27:39,879
Speaker 1: But what happens is that at all everything gets cleaned

527
00:27:39,960 --> 00:27:42,480
Speaker 1: up when you get to the I wasn't in the military,

528
00:27:42,520 --> 00:27:43,959
Speaker 1: but the guys would say when it gets to like

529
00:27:44,000 --> 00:27:46,920
Speaker 1: the brigade or sorry, it gets to the division level,

530
00:27:46,920 --> 00:27:49,760
Speaker 1: and then the command level, all the assessments from brigade

531
00:27:49,760 --> 00:27:52,560
Speaker 1: and battalion and company, all this stuff that the guys

532
00:27:52,560 --> 00:27:54,399
Speaker 1: who are actually seeing it gets cleaned up to.

533
00:27:54,560 --> 00:27:55,520
Speaker 3: Yeah, no, we're doing great.

534
00:27:55,520 --> 00:27:58,280
Speaker 1: It's working really well because the four star doesn't want

535
00:27:58,280 --> 00:28:00,600
Speaker 1: to tell the president your idea is suck and this

536
00:28:00,680 --> 00:28:04,320
Speaker 1: is never gonna work, or you know, our ideas suck

537
00:28:04,359 --> 00:28:06,879
Speaker 1: and this is never gonna work. So yeah, that is

538
00:28:06,880 --> 00:28:09,840
Speaker 1: a lesson that I think was learned very painfully by

539
00:28:10,000 --> 00:28:12,720
Speaker 1: us in both the Rock and Afghanistan. And so that's

540
00:28:12,760 --> 00:28:14,560
Speaker 1: something that we have to keep in mind here. But

541
00:28:14,680 --> 00:28:17,520
Speaker 1: I think that right now we're not there. Not everything is,

542
00:28:17,560 --> 00:28:19,679
Speaker 1: you know, just like not everything is Vietnam, that everything

543
00:28:19,720 --> 00:28:23,480
Speaker 1: is World War two. Uh, this is its own situation

544
00:28:24,160 --> 00:28:26,320
Speaker 1: and so far, what do you do?

545
00:28:26,320 --> 00:28:27,040
Speaker 3: You have an update on that?

546
00:28:27,240 --> 00:28:30,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, we just got breaking news reports of explosions in

547
00:28:30,640 --> 00:28:35,120
Speaker 2: katar H And this is from Baraka re Vied I believe,

548
00:28:35,119 --> 00:28:36,959
Speaker 2: who's a reporter at Axios.

549
00:28:37,040 --> 00:28:37,719
Speaker 4: Sorry to interrupt.

550
00:28:37,760 --> 00:28:42,160
Speaker 2: An Israeli official says Iran has launched six missiles towards

551
00:28:42,320 --> 00:28:45,080
Speaker 2: US bases in Qatar. So as we were telling you

552
00:28:45,120 --> 00:28:48,160
Speaker 2: that it was likely to happen, we will keep you

553
00:28:48,280 --> 00:28:51,640
Speaker 2: updated on the absolute latest there. But that report just

554
00:28:51,640 --> 00:28:53,720
Speaker 2: coming down in the last two minutes or so.

555
00:28:54,240 --> 00:28:57,080
Speaker 1: Well, well, yes, so to your question though, so there's

556
00:28:57,120 --> 00:29:00,600
Speaker 1: the regime change conversation that fact is in now to

557
00:29:00,640 --> 00:29:04,160
Speaker 1: everything that comes from this, you know, the aftermath of

558
00:29:04,160 --> 00:29:06,120
Speaker 1: the US strikes of the nuclear facilities. How do we

559
00:29:06,200 --> 00:29:09,640
Speaker 1: avoid getting drawn into that. I think there's pretty clear

560
00:29:11,120 --> 00:29:14,520
Speaker 1: I shouldn't say universal or clear agreement, but there's pretty

561
00:29:14,520 --> 00:29:18,960
Speaker 1: widespread agreement among MAGA. I'm not even Democrats just hate

562
00:29:19,000 --> 00:29:20,920
Speaker 1: Trump and they hate every I can't even you know

563
00:29:21,080 --> 00:29:23,880
Speaker 1: what do they They just need to figure out why

564
00:29:23,920 --> 00:29:26,400
Speaker 1: they exist other than hating Trump. And that's their own problem.

565
00:29:26,720 --> 00:29:29,320
Speaker 1: In terms of Republicans, in terms of the Trump Trump

566
00:29:29,400 --> 00:29:34,960
Speaker 1: voters out there, there's a I think a broad rejection

567
00:29:35,120 --> 00:29:38,000
Speaker 1: of any intervention that would require US boots on the

568
00:29:38,000 --> 00:29:42,480
Speaker 1: ground or anything like that. But that's that's one thing

569
00:29:42,520 --> 00:29:45,640
Speaker 1: that we have now though we look at the escalator

570
00:29:45,680 --> 00:29:48,040
Speaker 1: or the escalation and back and forth that would happen

571
00:29:48,120 --> 00:29:52,000
Speaker 1: after something like this Clay, if Iran hits military bases,

572
00:29:52,720 --> 00:29:58,400
Speaker 1: that is a proportionate response in some way to what

573
00:29:58,480 --> 00:30:00,920
Speaker 1: we did that would not It doesn't mean that we're

574
00:30:00,920 --> 00:30:02,840
Speaker 1: going to allow them to do it. It doesn't mean

575
00:30:02,840 --> 00:30:05,320
Speaker 1: that we don't necessarily exact a price for them doing it,

576
00:30:05,880 --> 00:30:08,400
Speaker 1: but it wouldn't result. And I think in escalation where

577
00:30:08,400 --> 00:30:11,000
Speaker 1: we go, Okay, now we're really gonna make things more

578
00:30:11,000 --> 00:30:13,600
Speaker 1: painful for Iran, substantially more so than we already have,

579
00:30:13,680 --> 00:30:15,360
Speaker 1: and then the Israelis already had.

580
00:30:16,280 --> 00:30:16,840
Speaker 3: If they do.

581
00:30:16,880 --> 00:30:18,800
Speaker 1: Something horrific, I mean, I don't want to get into it,

582
00:30:18,840 --> 00:30:21,320
Speaker 1: but something al Qaeda style, which is really the concern here.

583
00:30:21,520 --> 00:30:25,520
Speaker 1: The concern is that the Iranian regime an IRGC who's

584
00:30:25,600 --> 00:30:27,360
Speaker 1: every bit. I mean, look at the bombing of the

585
00:30:27,600 --> 00:30:29,200
Speaker 1: well that was a military target, but you look at

586
00:30:29,200 --> 00:30:31,920
Speaker 1: the bombing marine barracks. They've been involved in mass casualty

587
00:30:31,960 --> 00:30:35,520
Speaker 1: terrorism in the past. If they do that against the

588
00:30:35,560 --> 00:30:38,760
Speaker 1: civilian target, then I think the question turns to or

589
00:30:39,040 --> 00:30:43,360
Speaker 1: the likelihood is that the Trump administration goes and takes

590
00:30:43,400 --> 00:30:46,880
Speaker 1: out the remnants of senior Iranian leadership. That's I think

591
00:30:46,920 --> 00:30:51,760
Speaker 1: Trump has intimated that essentially. Okay, if you order, if

592
00:30:51,760 --> 00:30:55,800
Speaker 1: the Ayatola orders mass casualty civilian murder.

593
00:30:55,520 --> 00:30:59,960
Speaker 3: Anywhere in the world, you know, against Americans, Israelis.

594
00:30:59,520 --> 00:31:03,080
Speaker 1: You're like, then you are mulla Omar. We've bin laden

595
00:31:03,080 --> 00:31:05,040
Speaker 1: to the Taliban. Then we're in a whole different world

596
00:31:05,080 --> 00:31:07,560
Speaker 1: of how we're going to handle this. So that's what

597
00:31:07,600 --> 00:31:09,320
Speaker 1: I think remains to be seen. If they just strike

598
00:31:09,360 --> 00:31:14,680
Speaker 1: our military bases, I don't think not that that's we

599
00:31:14,760 --> 00:31:16,520
Speaker 1: told them not to do that. We may hit their

600
00:31:16,560 --> 00:31:19,960
Speaker 1: bases more in retaliation and say are you done yet?

601
00:31:20,000 --> 00:31:20,720
Speaker 3: Are you done yet?

602
00:31:20,960 --> 00:31:23,920
Speaker 1: But if they do something against civilians, then I think

603
00:31:23,920 --> 00:31:26,280
Speaker 1: that you might just decide, we might decide to decapitate

604
00:31:26,320 --> 00:31:28,520
Speaker 1: what's left of the regime. That's what I think could happen.

605
00:31:29,360 --> 00:31:32,240
Speaker 2: Trump is in the situation room, by the way, which

606
00:31:32,280 --> 00:31:34,960
Speaker 2: suggests we'll give you the latest on this again. Reports

607
00:31:35,000 --> 00:31:39,920
Speaker 2: that six different missiles fired by Iran at Qatar and

608
00:31:40,000 --> 00:31:44,120
Speaker 2: our military base presumably there. Again, this is we will

609
00:31:44,160 --> 00:31:47,480
Speaker 2: give you the latest. There's video out there showing those

610
00:31:47,520 --> 00:31:51,640
Speaker 2: missiles coming in it's night in the in the Middle

611
00:31:51,640 --> 00:31:54,800
Speaker 2: East right now, at least in Qatar, and we'll give

612
00:31:54,800 --> 00:31:57,160
Speaker 2: you the absolute latest on that. But the reason why

613
00:31:57,200 --> 00:32:00,520
Speaker 2: it suggests that we were very well away where that

614
00:32:00,640 --> 00:32:04,280
Speaker 2: this was coming is because the President was already in

615
00:32:04,360 --> 00:32:07,560
Speaker 2: the situation room, and I'm sure they are monitoring in

616
00:32:07,680 --> 00:32:12,560
Speaker 2: real time what exactly happens there, So we will give

617
00:32:12,560 --> 00:32:15,560
Speaker 2: you the absolute latest we come back. But Israeli citizens

618
00:32:15,560 --> 00:32:19,440
Speaker 2: certainly appreciate solidarity our nation has shown them over the

619
00:32:19,440 --> 00:32:22,520
Speaker 2: past six hundred and thirty days since the October seventh

620
00:32:22,640 --> 00:32:26,640
Speaker 2: Hamas Terra attacks. Billboard's on display today in Israel with

621
00:32:26,720 --> 00:32:30,400
Speaker 2: the words thank you, mister President, along with the picture

622
00:32:30,560 --> 00:32:34,800
Speaker 2: of President Trump, just twelve hours after our nation's military

623
00:32:34,880 --> 00:32:36,440
Speaker 2: targeted strikes in Iran.

624
00:32:36,800 --> 00:32:38,560
Speaker 4: Iran has fired back at Israel.

625
00:32:38,640 --> 00:32:41,720
Speaker 2: This has been going on for several days now, over

626
00:32:41,800 --> 00:32:45,160
Speaker 2: a week, and the Fellowship is doing everything they can

627
00:32:45,400 --> 00:32:48,920
Speaker 2: to make room and make hay for as many people

628
00:32:49,040 --> 00:32:52,320
Speaker 2: as they possibly can, to make sure that emergency rooms

629
00:32:52,320 --> 00:32:55,960
Speaker 2: and shelters are fully stocked with critical life saving supplies.

630
00:32:56,360 --> 00:32:59,400

Speaker 5: get your podcasts.

640
00:33:33,640 --> 00:33:38,600
Speaker 2: Welcome back in Clay Travis buck Sexton Show. Okay, we

641
00:33:38,720 --> 00:33:46,080
Speaker 2: have got continued responding to the reports of attacks that

642
00:33:46,160 --> 00:33:50,560
Speaker 2: have been levied. This is from Fox News. Explosions heard

643
00:33:50,680 --> 00:33:56,720
Speaker 2: over Doha and there are videos out there. This is

644
00:33:56,880 --> 00:34:00,520
Speaker 2: also in Buck. I don't know how to pronounced this,

645
00:34:00,600 --> 00:34:03,719
Speaker 2: and inevitably I screw up every pronunciation. But Iran is

646
00:34:03,760 --> 00:34:11,040
Speaker 2: calling this operation Basharat al Foth against US bases have begun,

647
00:34:11,719 --> 00:34:14,640
Speaker 2: and so it would suggest that not just Qatar, but

648
00:34:14,800 --> 00:34:18,680
Speaker 2: also other US bases in the Middle East may be targeted.

649
00:34:18,719 --> 00:34:19,000
Speaker 4: Again.

650
00:34:19,840 --> 00:34:24,240
Speaker 2: This is not dissimilar to what we saw after the Solamani.

651
00:34:25,200 --> 00:34:27,759
Speaker 4: Attack when we assessed they fired.

652
00:34:27,480 --> 00:34:29,919
Speaker 1: A lot of after we took out Solomani, after Trump

653
00:34:30,080 --> 00:34:32,040
Speaker 1: ordered that hit, which happened on a rocky soil as

654
00:34:32,040 --> 00:34:35,719
Speaker 1: you remember a drone strike, the Iranians fired a lot

655
00:34:35,719 --> 00:34:38,280
Speaker 1: of ballistic missiles at I think like one hundred missiles

656
00:34:38,600 --> 00:34:41,920
Speaker 1: at US bases in the region. They may remember if

657
00:34:41,920 --> 00:34:43,960
Speaker 1: you've never a lot of you have served, you know,

658
00:34:44,320 --> 00:34:47,680
Speaker 1: some of these military bases are a couple of miles across.

659
00:34:47,719 --> 00:34:50,880
Speaker 1: I mean they're huge, So even a pretty substantial missile,

660
00:34:50,880 --> 00:34:52,719
Speaker 1: if it were to impact as long as people are

661
00:34:52,760 --> 00:34:56,319
Speaker 1: sheltering in place, is unlikely. There were no deaths from

662
00:34:56,400 --> 00:34:59,680
Speaker 1: those strikes, American deaths. There were some tv I traumatic

663
00:34:59,680 --> 00:35:03,239
Speaker 1: braining injuries from the concussive force of the missiles, but

664
00:35:03,280 --> 00:35:06,240
Speaker 1: that was it. And I think did the Iranians shoot

665
00:35:06,280 --> 00:35:08,400
Speaker 1: down a Ukrainian airliner by accident?

666
00:35:08,600 --> 00:35:11,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, they killed almost two hundred people as a part

667
00:35:11,040 --> 00:35:14,160
Speaker 2: of that response, which was actually the most devastating aspect

668
00:35:14,280 --> 00:35:16,480
Speaker 2: of the response, and it was an inadvertant.

669
00:35:16,600 --> 00:35:20,440
Speaker 1: This is a reminder the iran is a poor third

670
00:35:20,480 --> 00:35:23,120
Speaker 1: world country. Because of the people in charge, it actually

671
00:35:23,120 --> 00:35:25,920
Speaker 1: should be a great place. But that's a whole other conversation.

672
00:35:26,320 --> 00:35:30,239
Speaker 1: It's a poor third world, dysfunctional country with a.

673
00:35:30,239 --> 00:35:31,280
Speaker 3: Really inept military.

674
00:35:31,280 --> 00:35:33,759
Speaker 1: I mean the truth is the Iranians, I mean, yeah,

675
00:35:33,800 --> 00:35:36,360
Speaker 1: they're good at they're they're good at at killing like

676
00:35:36,440 --> 00:35:40,399
Speaker 1: innocent people, or they're good at you know, ambushing peacekeepers

677
00:35:40,440 --> 00:35:41,120
Speaker 1: stuff like that.

678
00:35:41,480 --> 00:35:43,600
Speaker 3: They can't actually go toe to toe with it advanced

679
00:35:43,640 --> 00:35:46,920
Speaker 3: military at all, not even a little bit. That's the truth.

680
00:35:47,400 --> 00:35:48,920
Speaker 1: So you know, what were they what were they doing

681
00:35:49,000 --> 00:35:51,840
Speaker 1: in Iraq? They were just making it a hell, a

682
00:35:51,920 --> 00:35:55,280
Speaker 1: hellish nightmare for everybody, for the Iraqis who were there

683
00:35:55,520 --> 00:35:57,800
Speaker 1: by killing Americans who are effectively trying to keep the

684
00:35:57,880 --> 00:36:01,879
Speaker 1: lights on and get the sewage cleaned as.

685
00:36:00,840 --> 00:36:04,200
Speaker 2: Because they feared if Iraq was in some way a

686
00:36:04,239 --> 00:36:09,280
Speaker 2: peaceful Middle Eastern country, that power would be impacted exactly

687
00:36:09,360 --> 00:36:12,440
Speaker 2: by the way, also reports out there and certainly our

688
00:36:12,440 --> 00:36:14,960
Speaker 2: prayers for all the troops that are in the Middle East,

689
00:36:15,640 --> 00:36:19,000
Speaker 2: that air defense systems have been activated at the US

690
00:36:19,120 --> 00:36:23,080
Speaker 2: air base in Iraq as well. So much like what

691
00:36:23,120 --> 00:36:26,360
Speaker 2: we saw with Sola money, there is going to be

692
00:36:26,400 --> 00:36:30,799
Speaker 2: an attempt to extract revenge in some way, and we

693
00:36:30,880 --> 00:36:35,200
Speaker 2: will continue to update you on the absolute latest. If

694
00:36:35,280 --> 00:36:37,839
Speaker 2: US military base is under attack right now as we're

695
00:36:37,840 --> 00:36:41,879
Speaker 2: talking missiles interorrect So will continue to follow this and

696
00:36:42,400 --> 00:36:45,600
Speaker 2: again the President in the Situation Room, they are monitoring

697
00:36:45,640 --> 00:36:47,719
Speaker 2: it in real time. I would suspect buck that we

698
00:36:47,800 --> 00:36:50,640
Speaker 2: may get a statement from the White House sooner rather

699
00:36:50,719 --> 00:36:54,040
Speaker 2: than later, when we have some sort of finality on

700
00:36:54,120 --> 00:36:55,560
Speaker 2: exactly what happens here.

701
00:36:55,400 --> 00:36:57,400
Speaker 1: We're definitely going to get a truth social post. I mean,

702
00:36:57,440 --> 00:36:58,560
Speaker 1: Trump's sure to let this go.

703
00:37:00,040 --> 00:37:00,080
Speaker 4: M
