Speaker 1: You're listening to the Buck Sexton Show podcast. Let make
Speaker 1: sure you subscribe to the podcast on the iHeartRadio app
Speaker 1: or wherever you get your podcasts. Welcome to the Buck Brief.
Speaker 1: We're going to talk about the ongoing war in Gaza
Speaker 1: and what the implications of this are likely to be
Speaker 1: in the days ahead.
Speaker 2: First of all, you've.
Speaker 1: Probably seen the photos of very heavy damage to parts
Speaker 1: of the main areas and inhabited areas of Gaza, serious
Speaker 1: destruction from these air strikes. Israelis have called up three
Speaker 1: hundred thousand reservists and they're going to be making their
Speaker 1: way through what will be a hellish urban warfare landscape.
Speaker 1: This is a part of what's coming that I think
Speaker 1: not that many people have really prepared for.
Speaker 2: This group.
Speaker 1: Hamas is a gorilla warfare unit essentially. I mean, this
Speaker 1: is they this is what they train in unconventional obviously
Speaker 1: terrorist tactics. But they'll be using their familiarity with this
Speaker 1: terrain and their ability to set up in advance to
Speaker 1: try to bring about heavy Israeli casualties in these forces.
Speaker 2: We also know that.
Speaker 1: They have hostages that they have seized over one hundred
Speaker 1: and fifties of reporting that we've seen so far, and
Speaker 1: there are number of missions and efforts underway to try
Speaker 1: to get those hostages. That obviously complicates matters though, because
Speaker 1: you don't want to have hostages hostages who are casualties
Speaker 1: from say an air strike in this process. So there
Speaker 1: have to be precautions taken as a result of that,
Speaker 1: as well as the Israelis taking precautions to limit general
Speaker 1: civilian casualties to the greatest degree possible in Gaza. But
Speaker 1: I do think that given the atrocities that Hamas has
Speaker 1: committed against Gaza, well the atrocities in the attack, the
Speaker 1: sneak attack that we've seen, I'm sorry that Hamas has
Speaker 1: committed against Israel, the Israelis are going to be even
Speaker 1: more willing to go with attacks and strikes that have risks.
Speaker 1: There will be risks entailed in these moves, There will
Speaker 1: be risks to some of the civilian population. We know
Speaker 1: that there is an effort to try to get some
Speaker 1: of these civilians out through Egypt through the land border crossing. Understandably,
Speaker 1: there's a lot of complications here with who you're going.
Speaker 2: To let out.
Speaker 1: Are you going to let out people who are claiming
Speaker 1: to just be inno cent civilians, but they're actually Hamas fighters.
Speaker 1: I think that Israel's ability here to both bring together
Speaker 1: its intelligence, air superiority and its exceptionally capables means that
Speaker 1: it is up for this fight. It is ready to
Speaker 1: take this fight to the enemy. But this could get
Speaker 1: very complicated very quickly if that northern front with Hesbelah
Speaker 1: were to open up. Hesbela is better armed, better equipped,
Speaker 1: better trained than Hamas is and would be able to
Speaker 1: fire so many rockets, so many missiles at Israel that
Speaker 1: it would overwhelm some of the capabilities of the Iron Dome.
Speaker 1: Is obviously not a perfect system. Sometimes there are things
Speaker 1: that will there are rockets, there are missiles that will
Speaker 1: get through in those cause civilian casualties and damage. So
Speaker 1: the possibility of Hesbela entering this conflict is a very
Speaker 1: concerned That's a very concerning development. It's why Tony Blinken
Speaker 1: has gone over to this part of the world. That's
Speaker 1: why Tony Blinkin is over there negotiating right now, trying
Speaker 1: to do what he can on behalf of the Biden
Speaker 1: administration to prevent this escalation into a wider war. Because
Speaker 1: the way things go here if it's Domino's. You have
Speaker 1: Hamas already igniting this conflict with the most horrific terrorist
Speaker 1: attack we've seen since nine to eleven. Now you have
Speaker 1: the possibility of Hesbela entering. Remember Hesbel is a proxy
Speaker 1: force effectively of Iran, is an extension of Iranian aims
Speaker 1: in the region, and Hesbela works very closely and is
Speaker 1: trained by the Iranian Revolutionary Guards KULDS Force COULDS force
Speaker 1: Coulds by the way, means Jerusalem in Arabic or in
Speaker 1: this case, I guess, I think it's probably the same FARSI.
Speaker 2: I don't know.
Speaker 1: The point is kuds force is about Jerusalem, and they
Speaker 1: use IRGC COULDS Force training. That's the external operations arm
Speaker 1: of the IRGC, and they so they have made Hesbela's
Speaker 1: capabilities even stronger, even higher than they would otherwise be
Speaker 1: just through direct resource support, you know, giving them munitions,
Speaker 1: things like that. So they have advanced tactics, explosives training.
Speaker 1: So hesbel expanding would be a major escalation. Beyond that,
Speaker 1: there's the very real possibility that you could see more
Speaker 1: direct Iranian involvement. Remember the Iranians sent have sent militia
Speaker 1: into Iraq or they've really trained and then infiltrated their
Speaker 1: own militias into Iraq. They have sent fighters to Syria,
Speaker 1: they have backed the Houfi militants in Yemen. So a
Speaker 1: lot of this through the IRGC he coolds force. So
Speaker 1: Iran has long standing practice and ties of assisting these
Speaker 1: terrorist elements in the region directly with man, material and force.
Speaker 1: So we could see that. Now, what would the Israeli
Speaker 1: response be? What happens if Israel starts going after Iran directly?
Speaker 1: We will discuss this more in a second. You know,
Speaker 1: we're seeing where the budget is and we're seeing where
Speaker 1: the deficit is going. Another massive increase in our nation's debt.
Speaker 1: It's only going to cause future interest rates to rise again.
Speaker 1: Our government's going to print and borrow more money, decreasing
Speaker 1: the value of our dollar further. You're powerless in all
Speaker 1: of this and left to protect the value of our
Speaker 1: savings and retirement accounts with Well, what exactly you got
Speaker 1: to think of a strategy? Purchasing gold is your best strategy.
Speaker 1: You can purchase it directly for your four oh one
Speaker 1: K for instance, and of course you can always purchase
Speaker 1: and take possession of physical gold. Call the Oxford Gold Group.
Speaker 1: It's who I use, it's who I trust. The call
Speaker 1: is free, and the people on the receiving end of
Speaker 1: the call are knowledgeable and trustworthy. Eight three three seven
Speaker 1: zero seven Gold eight three three seven zero seven GLD.
Speaker 1: They make it easy. They've been at this a long time.
Speaker 1: They can arrange for easy, discrete delivery to your home
Speaker 1: one more time at that number eight three three seven
Speaker 1: zero seven Gold, the Oxford Gold Group eight three to
Speaker 1: three seven zero seven Gold. So Blinkoln is over there
Speaker 1: right now in the Middle East, and he's doing what
Speaker 1: he can to try to prevent this from being a
Speaker 1: brod a broader war. So he's in Israel trying to
Speaker 1: discuss what the next steps are. Obviously, we're taking a
Speaker 1: position of solidarity here with the Israelis, as we should.
Speaker 1: Israel is on the side of civilization, Hamas is on
Speaker 1: the side of barbarism in this conflict. I think it
Speaker 1: couldn't be more clear. And so this is the way
Speaker 1: the US should be acting. We should be going to
Speaker 1: the aid excuse me of our ally Israel doing everything
Speaker 1: that we can, but we also don't want this to
Speaker 1: expand into a broader conflict, bring about a whole lot
Speaker 1: more casualties and create much more destruction in the region.
Speaker 1: This is a war between Israel and Hama right now.
Speaker 1: We do not want it to be a war between
Speaker 1: Israel and Hamas and then a bunch of others coming
Speaker 1: in on Hamas's behalf. We also have to be aware
Speaker 1: of the extent to which we're willing to engage here
Speaker 1: and what we're willing to do on behalf of our ally.
Speaker 1: As we know, us entanglements in the Middle East now
Speaker 1: for decades have brought us to.
Speaker 2: Some very very unwise places.
Speaker 1: In terms of what our strategy has been, whether it's
Speaker 1: the twenty year war in Afghanistan, the regime change war
Speaker 1: in Iraq, the regime change war in Libya. So there's
Speaker 1: a little bit of a hesitation, I think, and rightly so,
Speaker 1: whenever you're talking about matters of war and peace, how
Speaker 1: involved are we.
Speaker 2: Going to get in this.
Speaker 1: I'm sure there'll be special operations off books, so to speak,
Speaker 1: working closely with the Israelis. That would be my expectation.
Speaker 1: That's the right thing, But I think there also will
Speaker 1: be some limitations placed on how are we're willing to
Speaker 1: go on behalf of our ally Israel here. Basically, you know,
Speaker 1: we don't want the US to directly engage in this war.
Speaker 1: The Israelis can handle it. We're going to give them
Speaker 1: the material, the support, the intelligence, assistance, whatever it is
Speaker 1: that they need in order to bring about the most
Speaker 1: efficient conclusion to this conflict once they have achieved the goal,
Speaker 1: which is the eradication of Hamas, and that.
Speaker 2: Should be the goal on all of this.
Speaker 1: I want to talk about Biden though for a second
Speaker 1: here and what this is all a reminder of Biden
Speaker 1: as commander in chief. Will we see a new currency
Speaker 1: system introduced by the Biden administration before the end of
Speaker 1: the year. According to former Wall Street insider and digital
Speaker 1: currency expert Tiket Tawari, that could well happen. We might
Speaker 1: see Biden administration members introducing a new digital dollar. The
Speaker 1: business publication Business Insider has also confirm this, saying the
Speaker 1: US Treasury's efforts to create a US digital currency could
Speaker 1: be imminent. Tikatwari believes the official announcement could come sometime
Speaker 1: this fall. That's why he's posted an online video to
Speaker 1: help you prepare. You see it at a website setup
Speaker 1: that's just for this purpose. Go to dollar Recall dot Com.
Speaker 1: Watch the video the mainstream media doesn't want you to
Speaker 1: see and learn how to opt out of this digital dollar.
Speaker 1: That website again is Dollar Recall dot Com. Dollar Recall
Speaker 1: dot Com paid for by Palm Beach Research Group. Now
Speaker 1: Joe Biden is the president, he is the commander in chief.
Speaker 1: This is a moment where the decision making of Joe
Speaker 1: Biden as commander in chief could have major implications for
Speaker 1: a lot of people, could be a difference maker in.
Speaker 2: A whole range of ways.
Speaker 1: And you'd like to think, you'd like to believe that
Speaker 1: you have with Joe Biden, somebody who has a baseline
Speaker 1: of competency, who has a baseline understanding of what the
Speaker 1: regional issues are. But then you look at this guy
Speaker 1: and you realize he's not just too old to be president.
Speaker 1: And I mean cognitively too old, I mean mentally, he's
Speaker 1: too old to do any job that's stressful and requires judgment,
Speaker 1: endurance and ability to really focus and have tremendous energy
Speaker 1: to expend on something he's too old to have for
Speaker 1: any of that. And so this goes back to what
Speaker 1: a crazy situation we're in here. Because I still do
Speaker 1: believe that the Democrat mindset is as long as it's
Speaker 1: not Trump, it's fine, and therefore will support Joe Biden.
Speaker 1: They will push for Joe Biden. They will do everything
Speaker 1: they can in order to make sure that he is
Speaker 1: the president of the United States, because they figure that
Speaker 1: the system, the system is what's really going to run things.
Speaker 1: So it doesn't matter whether Biden is capable or not.
Speaker 1: It doesn't matter whether Biden actually is in a position
Speaker 1: to make decisions that are for the benefit of the country, right,
Speaker 1: because other people are going to be the ones that
Speaker 1: are making the real calls.
Speaker 2: But when you.
Speaker 1: Start to see now a second war breakout, right, we
Speaker 1: already have Ukraine Russia, and that's something of in a
Speaker 1: stalemate situation. It's trench warfare.
Speaker 2: I get it.
Speaker 1: We already have that underway. And I think you can
Speaker 1: make a very clear case that or make a very
Speaker 1: strong case that this would not have occurred if Donald
Speaker 1: Trump was president. I do think that that's fair. I
Speaker 1: do not think that Vladimir Putin would have gone into
Speaker 1: Russia the way that he did if Trump or president.
Speaker 1: I think with Biden, he saw weakness, he saw somebody
Speaker 1: who he could see steps ahead, he could see several
Speaker 1: moves ahead on the chess board and was not concerned
Speaker 1: about what the response would be. So this is where
Speaker 1: you realize the term the title commander in chief, it
Speaker 1: has real meaning, it has real meaning. This is the
Speaker 1: guy who, pardon the expression, the buck is supposed to
Speaker 1: stop with and with Russia Ukraine. We're already we're having
Speaker 1: massive expenditures and there's always in the background the possibility
Speaker 1: of some miscalculation or escalation. There there is no end
Speaker 1: in sight to that conflict. And that has happened on
Speaker 1: Biden's watch. And now we have hopefully the ability to
Speaker 1: contain what's going.
Speaker 2: On with Israel and Gaza.
Speaker 1: But beyond, you know, beyond the immediate, we don't know
Speaker 1: what's going to happen. We don't know what's going to
Speaker 1: happen in this war between Israel and Hamas. And to
Speaker 1: have Biden and some of his senior advisors be the
Speaker 1: ones that are supposed to be helping to calm things
Speaker 1: down and to help help our allies, help Israel face
Speaker 1: down this evil and make sure that it doesn't turn
Speaker 1: into a broader conflagration. I don't have faith in the
Speaker 1: Biden administration. I don't have faith in the people who
Speaker 1: are calling the shots and who are in charge. So
Speaker 1: I think it's important that we all see this for
Speaker 1: what it is. This is an incompetent Biden administration with
Speaker 1: a poor with a weak foreign policy. The only places
Speaker 1: on foreign policy that it has done a good job
Speaker 1: are things that are effectively a continuation of Trump policies,
Speaker 1: like with China. So it just didn't mess things up.
Speaker 1: But that's not something I think that people would necessarily
Speaker 1: view as inherently something to celebrate, right, I mean, just
Speaker 1: not destroying things is not a very that's not a
Speaker 1: very high bar. So I'm continuing to look, continue to
Speaker 1: watch this very closely, and I am very.
Speaker 2: Hopeful the Israelis are able to.
Speaker 1: Eradicate Hamas, capture or kill all leadership, and end the
Speaker 1: threat to their south once and for all without Hesba
Speaker 1: or any of the other players getting further involved in it.
Speaker 2: And we'll watch this closely.
