1 00:00:02,279 --> 00:00:07,440 Speaker 1: This is the primal scream of a dying regime. Pray 2 00:00:07,520 --> 00:00:10,960 Speaker 1: for our enemies because we're going to medieval on these people. 3 00:00:12,119 --> 00:00:13,440 Speaker 1: Here's not got a free shot. 4 00:00:13,480 --> 00:00:16,959 Speaker 2: All these networks lying about the people, the people have 5 00:00:17,000 --> 00:00:18,000 Speaker 2: had a belly full of it. 6 00:00:18,440 --> 00:00:20,119 Speaker 1: I know you don't like hearing that. I know you 7 00:00:20,239 --> 00:00:21,520 Speaker 1: tried to do everything in the world to stop that, 8 00:00:21,600 --> 00:00:23,640 Speaker 1: but you're not going to stop it. It's going to happen. 9 00:00:23,760 --> 00:00:25,959 Speaker 3: And where do people like that go to share the 10 00:00:26,000 --> 00:00:26,720 Speaker 3: big line? 11 00:00:27,240 --> 00:00:28,480 Speaker 4: Mega media? 12 00:00:28,640 --> 00:00:31,720 Speaker 5: I wish in my soul, I wish that any of 13 00:00:31,760 --> 00:00:33,320 Speaker 5: these people had a conscience. 14 00:00:34,040 --> 00:00:37,199 Speaker 1: Ask yourself, what is my task and what is my purpose? 15 00:00:37,840 --> 00:00:42,599 Speaker 1: If that answer is to save my country, this country. 16 00:00:42,280 --> 00:00:46,760 Speaker 4: Will be saved. Here's your host, Stephen K. 17 00:00:47,040 --> 00:00:54,520 Speaker 1: Bath Tuesday, twenty sixth August and the Arverler of twenty 18 00:00:54,520 --> 00:00:57,880 Speaker 1: twenty five. It's commemoration the fourth anniversary of the tragedy 19 00:00:58,000 --> 00:01:01,960 Speaker 1: at Abby Gate. It's a tragedy. I think. I think 20 00:01:01,960 --> 00:01:06,319 Speaker 1: it's it's important for us to remember this and to 21 00:01:06,360 --> 00:01:12,640 Speaker 1: remember it always because it speaks so much to the 22 00:01:12,680 --> 00:01:16,320 Speaker 1: bravery of the people that we asked to fight that war. 23 00:01:17,480 --> 00:01:20,399 Speaker 1: Young people in their twenties and many times teens in 24 00:01:20,600 --> 00:01:25,560 Speaker 1: early twenties and gave them justifications that people at the 25 00:01:25,680 --> 00:01:30,959 Speaker 1: time knew or lies right for all their different agendas 26 00:01:32,319 --> 00:01:37,720 Speaker 1: and the fecklessness and unseeriousness of how we handle that 27 00:01:37,760 --> 00:01:42,080 Speaker 1: as a great power. Say what you want about the 28 00:01:42,160 --> 00:01:45,639 Speaker 1: Russians and the CCP, and you know, we pride ourselves 29 00:01:45,680 --> 00:01:50,400 Speaker 1: and being the leaders of the anti CCP movement. And 30 00:01:50,440 --> 00:01:53,840 Speaker 1: you saw Lavrov with Kristen Welker on meet the Press 31 00:01:53,880 --> 00:01:58,080 Speaker 1: on Sunday. As bad as the KGB is in that 32 00:01:58,240 --> 00:02:02,080 Speaker 1: gang that of course criminals that runs Russia, and as 33 00:02:02,120 --> 00:02:05,280 Speaker 1: bad as the CCP is and the brutal dictatorship they have, 34 00:02:06,000 --> 00:02:12,639 Speaker 1: they're serious people. Look at Lavrov with her. It was embarrassing. 35 00:02:13,400 --> 00:02:17,920 Speaker 1: It was embarrassing. They're serious people, and we're not serious people. 36 00:02:17,960 --> 00:02:20,000 Speaker 1: And President Trump's trying to come in and change this 37 00:02:20,160 --> 00:02:24,000 Speaker 1: and sort it out, but you still have these massive 38 00:02:24,080 --> 00:02:29,320 Speaker 1: forces inside the United States that are not America first. 39 00:02:31,320 --> 00:02:34,080 Speaker 1: What they want to do is use the blood and 40 00:02:34,160 --> 00:02:38,040 Speaker 1: treasure of the United States to push their agendas. That's 41 00:02:38,120 --> 00:02:42,200 Speaker 1: my problem with this. If we're going to be America first, 42 00:02:42,240 --> 00:02:44,280 Speaker 1: we have to put the country first and the citizens 43 00:02:44,360 --> 00:02:47,160 Speaker 1: in that country first. It's the sovereignty of this nation 44 00:02:47,440 --> 00:02:52,799 Speaker 1: as a nation and the sovereignty of its people as 45 00:02:52,880 --> 00:02:55,440 Speaker 1: embodied in the consent of the government. And to have 46 00:02:55,600 --> 00:02:59,160 Speaker 1: consent of the government, the government have to have real information, 47 00:02:59,360 --> 00:03:02,120 Speaker 1: not be and not be misled, and not be lied to. 48 00:03:02,200 --> 00:03:05,680 Speaker 1: And this is why I went off when we'd got 49 00:03:05,720 --> 00:03:10,680 Speaker 1: in this latest escapade in Persia, because these were bald 50 00:03:11,040 --> 00:03:16,560 Speaker 1: face lies. Until you're prepared to understand that, and to 51 00:03:16,639 --> 00:03:22,600 Speaker 1: see all the other guys around here, they're all Israel first, right, 52 00:03:24,440 --> 00:03:29,639 Speaker 1: bald face lies. And this is dangerous. This is very 53 00:03:29,720 --> 00:03:32,320 Speaker 1: dangerous stuff. As you guys know, as a young naval 54 00:03:32,320 --> 00:03:37,560 Speaker 1: officer in late seventy nine, after the embassy was taken 55 00:03:37,840 --> 00:03:41,760 Speaker 1: on a destroyer going over with a carrier, as everybody 56 00:03:41,840 --> 00:03:43,880 Speaker 1: was hurtling towards the Middle East and a whole new 57 00:03:43,920 --> 00:03:45,880 Speaker 1: adventure for the United States. We had never been there. 58 00:03:45,880 --> 00:03:47,440 Speaker 1: A navy had never really been there. We had a 59 00:03:47,520 --> 00:03:50,040 Speaker 1: small I think what they called the White Fleet, just 60 00:03:50,080 --> 00:03:54,120 Speaker 1: a couple of ships, old ships in Bahrain. So we've 61 00:03:54,160 --> 00:03:56,360 Speaker 1: been there since seventy nine. We've actually been there much 62 00:03:56,400 --> 00:04:03,120 Speaker 1: longer than that. As Iran became a regional power, predicate 63 00:04:03,240 --> 00:04:06,240 Speaker 1: upon their very smart moves about oil and the Arab 64 00:04:06,280 --> 00:04:09,440 Speaker 1: Bowl and Bargo and all that. Brandon in your book, 65 00:04:10,080 --> 00:04:16,440 Speaker 1: I mean, your book makes the case of what Tom 66 00:04:16,480 --> 00:04:18,800 Speaker 1: Cotton and Lindsey Graham, because these guys say, hey, this 67 00:04:18,839 --> 00:04:20,440 Speaker 1: has been a long war, it's been a shadow of 68 00:04:20,480 --> 00:04:23,600 Speaker 1: war with the United States for a long time, with 69 00:04:23,640 --> 00:04:27,000 Speaker 1: the with the Ayahtola and these radical Islamus to run 70 00:04:27,040 --> 00:04:30,680 Speaker 1: this country, and they use that as justification of why 71 00:04:30,720 --> 00:04:32,760 Speaker 1: we should be there. Correct me if I'm wrong. I mean, 72 00:04:32,800 --> 00:04:35,880 Speaker 1: I've I'd love your book, but you can the logical 73 00:04:35,920 --> 00:04:39,440 Speaker 1: conclusion of your book could be, could be what Tom 74 00:04:39,480 --> 00:04:42,360 Speaker 1: Cotton and lindsay, go ahead, go ahead, go ahead. 75 00:04:42,160 --> 00:04:44,000 Speaker 2: No, of course, And I make it clear though in 76 00:04:44,080 --> 00:04:47,720 Speaker 2: the book that the conclusion is to build the Abraham Accords, 77 00:04:47,800 --> 00:04:50,960 Speaker 2: which was supposed to be the way that we would 78 00:04:51,000 --> 00:04:54,800 Speaker 2: extricate ourselves without getting involved in a new war in 79 00:04:54,839 --> 00:04:57,680 Speaker 2: the Middle East and still hand off the region to 80 00:04:57,800 --> 00:05:01,240 Speaker 2: our allies, and we would become what John Meersheimer would 81 00:05:01,240 --> 00:05:02,640 Speaker 2: call an offshore balancer. 82 00:05:03,120 --> 00:05:05,080 Speaker 4: And that is the role. 83 00:05:04,920 --> 00:05:08,680 Speaker 2: That traditionally America has always played in various parts of 84 00:05:08,720 --> 00:05:11,480 Speaker 2: the world, you know, where we basically we just stay 85 00:05:11,480 --> 00:05:13,919 Speaker 2: out of it, and if some power really like the 86 00:05:14,000 --> 00:05:17,520 Speaker 2: Soviets come in, then we get involved. But the problem 87 00:05:17,640 --> 00:05:21,920 Speaker 2: is is the Tom Cotton wing has taken the shadow 88 00:05:21,960 --> 00:05:25,680 Speaker 2: war narrative and they've spun it to say that is 89 00:05:25,720 --> 00:05:28,719 Speaker 2: why we must do Iraq three point zero. And the 90 00:05:28,760 --> 00:05:31,480 Speaker 2: whole reason I wrote the book, Steve, was to say, 91 00:05:31,800 --> 00:05:34,720 Speaker 2: we cannot get involved in another war in the Middle East, 92 00:05:34,920 --> 00:05:38,000 Speaker 2: but we also really can't trust the Persians the current 93 00:05:38,080 --> 00:05:41,600 Speaker 2: regime to do business with. The third way is the 94 00:05:41,600 --> 00:05:45,919 Speaker 2: Abraham Accords. That is the way forward. Unfortunately, it seems 95 00:05:46,040 --> 00:05:49,479 Speaker 2: like the neocons have convinced the Trump administration to sort 96 00:05:49,520 --> 00:05:53,600 Speaker 2: of undermine the Abraham Accords by doing the attacks that 97 00:05:53,640 --> 00:05:57,160 Speaker 2: they did. And also now the Arabs are a little understandably, 98 00:05:57,480 --> 00:06:01,159 Speaker 2: you know, reticence to do business with the Israelies because 99 00:06:01,200 --> 00:06:03,960 Speaker 2: of how they're acting in Gaza and the West Bank. 100 00:06:04,360 --> 00:06:07,040 Speaker 2: So you know, my book did My book did offer 101 00:06:07,080 --> 00:06:10,320 Speaker 2: a third way, and unfortunately I don't think anybody listened. 102 00:06:13,279 --> 00:06:17,760 Speaker 1: Well hangover seconds, very very impressive, treda are the Arabs? 103 00:06:18,520 --> 00:06:22,080 Speaker 1: Could the Arabs? I mean essentially the Arabs use US 104 00:06:22,120 --> 00:06:25,200 Speaker 1: as a as a vassal state. Also, I mean people 105 00:06:25,680 --> 00:06:28,000 Speaker 1: they're all on the Israelis. We're doing the israelis bidden. 106 00:06:28,200 --> 00:06:30,080 Speaker 1: We're doing the bidden of the golf Emirates and the 107 00:06:30,120 --> 00:06:32,560 Speaker 1: Saudi's also, are we not because they don't have any 108 00:06:32,600 --> 00:06:34,440 Speaker 1: interest in taking on the Persians? Do they? 109 00:06:35,680 --> 00:06:39,000 Speaker 6: Absolutely? At the end of the day, Unfortunately, we ourselves 110 00:06:39,000 --> 00:06:43,200 Speaker 6: have set up an opportunity for countries to take advantage 111 00:06:43,200 --> 00:06:47,640 Speaker 6: of America's military might for their own purposes. I completely 112 00:06:47,680 --> 00:06:51,320 Speaker 6: agree with Brandon's instinct, which is we need to get out. 113 00:06:51,520 --> 00:06:54,120 Speaker 6: This region is not that important to the United States 114 00:06:54,120 --> 00:06:56,200 Speaker 6: any longer. We certainly shouldn't be going to any more 115 00:06:56,279 --> 00:06:59,080 Speaker 6: wars there. We should avoid getting entangled in all of 116 00:06:59,120 --> 00:07:04,320 Speaker 6: their conflicts. I'm skeptical, however, the brand about the Abram 117 00:07:04,360 --> 00:07:08,240 Speaker 6: McCord because from the Israeli and Saudi perspective, it was 118 00:07:08,400 --> 00:07:11,960 Speaker 6: actually designed to keep the United States more committed to 119 00:07:12,000 --> 00:07:14,840 Speaker 6: the region. I think the instinct is right, and I 120 00:07:14,840 --> 00:07:16,720 Speaker 6: think there's ways to do so, but I think at 121 00:07:16,720 --> 00:07:18,760 Speaker 6: this point the Abram McCord is more or less dead. 122 00:07:18,800 --> 00:07:21,520 Speaker 6: The Saudis are not going to normalize with Israel, and 123 00:07:21,600 --> 00:07:24,120 Speaker 6: we should go back to that instinct to figure out 124 00:07:24,160 --> 00:07:27,080 Speaker 6: a way that we can get out and recognize that 125 00:07:27,120 --> 00:07:29,200 Speaker 6: because of the fact that the region doesn't matter that 126 00:07:29,280 --> 00:07:32,480 Speaker 6: much to us. We should not get tempted to get 127 00:07:32,480 --> 00:07:35,400 Speaker 6: involved in whatever it is, whether it's the Iranians dominating, 128 00:07:35,480 --> 00:07:38,680 Speaker 6: or the Saudis or the Mratis. Frankly doesn't impact our 129 00:07:38,680 --> 00:07:41,280 Speaker 6: interest that much. Certainly, I don't think the Iranians are 130 00:07:41,320 --> 00:07:43,280 Speaker 6: in a position. They're in a much weaker position than 131 00:07:43,320 --> 00:07:45,480 Speaker 6: they were in before all of the talk about them 132 00:07:45,520 --> 00:07:48,480 Speaker 6: becoming some sort of a hegemon. That instinct may exist there, 133 00:07:48,640 --> 00:07:53,120 Speaker 6: the capability does not, so that argument that you know, 134 00:07:53,160 --> 00:07:55,560 Speaker 6: we have to do this otherwise the Iranians get hegemony 135 00:07:55,560 --> 00:07:57,080 Speaker 6: in the region, which has been used for the last 136 00:07:57,120 --> 00:07:59,400 Speaker 6: three decades at this point, in my view, is not 137 00:07:59,440 --> 00:08:01,920 Speaker 6: only mute because of the lack of capability, but also 138 00:08:01,960 --> 00:08:04,200 Speaker 6: because of the fact it does not matter that much 139 00:08:04,240 --> 00:08:06,520 Speaker 6: to us who is dominating the region. 140 00:08:06,640 --> 00:08:08,240 Speaker 4: In my own view, none of. 141 00:08:08,200 --> 00:08:11,160 Speaker 6: These countries have the capacity to actually dominate. They may 142 00:08:11,200 --> 00:08:16,280 Speaker 6: have all kinds of grandeur, instincts and desires, none of them, 143 00:08:16,360 --> 00:08:19,680 Speaker 6: even Turkey, do not have the capability of dominating. So 144 00:08:19,720 --> 00:08:22,160 Speaker 6: our best way is actually to let them balance each 145 00:08:22,200 --> 00:08:24,600 Speaker 6: other and stay out of it, just like the Chinese. 146 00:08:24,320 --> 00:08:30,560 Speaker 1: Have the what is your recommendation to do it? Because 147 00:08:30,560 --> 00:08:33,840 Speaker 1: one of the underlying issues here is this concept of 148 00:08:33,880 --> 00:08:37,800 Speaker 1: greater Israel. Right, so you say, no one has a 149 00:08:38,320 --> 00:08:43,079 Speaker 1: no one has the actual capabil military capability or economic 150 00:08:43,160 --> 00:08:48,520 Speaker 1: couple with military ability to actually put lead on targets 151 00:08:48,880 --> 00:08:53,160 Speaker 1: to dominate the region. But you have maybe the Persians 152 00:08:53,160 --> 00:08:55,560 Speaker 1: are not as expansionists as they used to be, given 153 00:08:55,600 --> 00:08:58,680 Speaker 1: the the bacle that Hesbl has turned into and this 154 00:08:59,200 --> 00:09:03,920 Speaker 1: continual ward they've got on the Arabian Peninsula with the Houtis, 155 00:09:03,960 --> 00:09:08,200 Speaker 1: it looks like it's a standstill. But the israelis certain elements. 156 00:09:08,200 --> 00:09:10,439 Speaker 1: I shouldn't say this, But what's fascinating to me is 157 00:09:10,480 --> 00:09:13,079 Speaker 1: the internal politics of Israel, because I think you can 158 00:09:13,080 --> 00:09:16,559 Speaker 1: make the argument that yat Yahoo and the ultra Orthodox 159 00:09:17,040 --> 00:09:20,520 Speaker 1: are rapidly trying to turn Israel into a Jewish version 160 00:09:20,559 --> 00:09:24,360 Speaker 1: of Pakistan, and that you have forces opposed to them, 161 00:09:25,040 --> 00:09:29,760 Speaker 1: of which not all those forces are Maga love Maga. 162 00:09:29,800 --> 00:09:32,280 Speaker 1: In fact, money of them are progressed, quite progressive, and 163 00:09:32,320 --> 00:09:35,040 Speaker 1: despised Maga. But they're trying to fight to I think, 164 00:09:35,080 --> 00:09:37,720 Speaker 1: get Israel back to the original concept that it was, 165 00:09:38,559 --> 00:09:42,040 Speaker 1: and that fight is quite impressive. But as long as 166 00:09:42,040 --> 00:09:44,440 Speaker 1: there's a faction in Israel, the believes in this concept 167 00:09:44,440 --> 00:09:48,000 Speaker 1: of greater Israel and controls the political apparatus. And that's 168 00:09:48,000 --> 00:09:50,600 Speaker 1: why I'm saying this riff between the IDF. Look, it 169 00:09:50,679 --> 00:09:54,400 Speaker 1: was Netnahu's own son who's living in Miami, that tweeted 170 00:09:54,400 --> 00:09:56,680 Speaker 1: out four weeks ago that he thought there was a 171 00:09:56,760 --> 00:10:01,680 Speaker 1: mutiny and a a coupatah underway against father's government by 172 00:10:01,720 --> 00:10:06,720 Speaker 1: the IDEF. Because the IDEF commanders said, Yo, we are 173 00:10:06,760 --> 00:10:09,880 Speaker 1: not we do not support this occupation of God. That 174 00:10:09,920 --> 00:10:11,839 Speaker 1: we don't have the troops, we don't have the reservists, 175 00:10:11,880 --> 00:10:14,000 Speaker 1: we're beaten up. Maybe we got the ability to go 176 00:10:14,000 --> 00:10:16,560 Speaker 1: get the dead enders, but that's where it stops. So 177 00:10:17,320 --> 00:10:19,600 Speaker 1: how do you what's your solution of this? As long 178 00:10:19,640 --> 00:10:23,120 Speaker 1: as you have one at least one faction that believes 179 00:10:23,120 --> 00:10:26,800 Speaker 1: in an expansionist agenda for Israel and are supported by 180 00:10:26,800 --> 00:10:29,760 Speaker 1: some of the biggest voices and the wealthiest people and 181 00:10:29,840 --> 00:10:33,440 Speaker 1: most powerful politicians in the United States of America, you 182 00:10:33,520 --> 00:10:33,960 Speaker 1: put your. 183 00:10:33,840 --> 00:10:37,520 Speaker 6: Finger on something extremely important that almost never is addressed 184 00:10:37,559 --> 00:10:40,520 Speaker 6: in mainstream media, which is that there is a significant 185 00:10:40,559 --> 00:10:44,199 Speaker 6: faction in Israel that actually is expansions. It's almost hereditary 186 00:10:44,320 --> 00:10:48,240 Speaker 6: to say this, But here's the thing. Israel actually doesn't 187 00:10:48,280 --> 00:10:51,240 Speaker 6: have the ability to be expansionist because the United States, 188 00:10:51,240 --> 00:10:54,520 Speaker 6: according to crs AS leadd As analysis, is paying for 189 00:10:54,600 --> 00:10:58,560 Speaker 6: more than thirty percent of Israel's military budget. Israel actually 190 00:10:58,600 --> 00:11:01,400 Speaker 6: doesn't have the capability of EVA attacking youmon without that 191 00:11:01,520 --> 00:11:05,439 Speaker 6: support from the United States. So absent you as support, 192 00:11:05,480 --> 00:11:09,280 Speaker 6: all kinds of aspirations for greater Israel or Israeli hegemony 193 00:11:09,320 --> 00:11:12,360 Speaker 6: completely falls apart, which means that we have leverage. If 194 00:11:12,360 --> 00:11:15,000 Speaker 6: we don't want them to be expansionists, we can simply 195 00:11:15,040 --> 00:11:17,760 Speaker 6: say no, stop the flow of money, stop the flow 196 00:11:17,800 --> 00:11:21,120 Speaker 6: of arms, stop the flow of defensive support, which actually 197 00:11:21,480 --> 00:11:26,760 Speaker 6: fuels their desire to go on reckless offensive approaches because 198 00:11:26,760 --> 00:11:28,320 Speaker 6: they know that the United States is going to come 199 00:11:28,320 --> 00:11:30,240 Speaker 6: in and protect them if we do none of that. 200 00:11:30,640 --> 00:11:34,000 Speaker 6: I don't think the desire for greater Israel actually ever 201 00:11:34,080 --> 00:11:39,120 Speaker 6: can be manifested because Israel doesn't have that capability. 202 00:11:39,240 --> 00:11:43,240 Speaker 1: I would actually argue there are aspects, there are elements 203 00:11:43,240 --> 00:11:45,960 Speaker 1: of the IDF that would fully support that. They're saying, hey, 204 00:11:46,040 --> 00:11:49,120 Speaker 1: we're tapped out or close to being tapped out, and 205 00:11:49,160 --> 00:11:51,360 Speaker 1: we should not have an expansion's agenda. Hanker. Second, I 206 00:11:51,400 --> 00:11:53,520 Speaker 1: want to ask you guys both this question about our NDA. 207 00:11:53,679 --> 00:11:56,360 Speaker 1: Let me start with Brandon. Brandon, I'm kind of on 208 00:11:56,400 --> 00:11:59,760 Speaker 1: the warpath now because President Trump has outlined what I 209 00:11:59,800 --> 00:12:03,160 Speaker 1: call hemispheric defense. It's not isolation. This is not a 210 00:12:03,160 --> 00:12:05,440 Speaker 1: recruit from the world, but basically saying from Greenland and 211 00:12:05,480 --> 00:12:08,040 Speaker 1: the Arctic all the way down to the Panama Canal 212 00:12:08,520 --> 00:12:11,400 Speaker 1: and then the whole vast western Pacific, which becomes our 213 00:12:11,480 --> 00:12:14,320 Speaker 1: kind of you know, the Mackinder pivot to the first 214 00:12:14,320 --> 00:12:17,560 Speaker 1: and second third island chain, all of that with with 215 00:12:17,960 --> 00:12:21,439 Speaker 1: Argentina and Brazil and to clearly clean up some of 216 00:12:21,440 --> 00:12:24,680 Speaker 1: the mess in Latin America that the Munroe doctrine two 217 00:12:24,720 --> 00:12:28,840 Speaker 1: point zero with Alaska is a strategic asset, that is 218 00:12:29,120 --> 00:12:32,120 Speaker 1: the and we keep expeditionary type forces and can go 219 00:12:32,160 --> 00:12:34,080 Speaker 1: anywhere in the world when we need it. And obviously 220 00:12:34,120 --> 00:12:37,640 Speaker 1: you got to defend Taiwan. But the NDAA that we're 221 00:12:37,679 --> 00:12:41,679 Speaker 1: about to debate and pass is not has none of that. 222 00:12:41,880 --> 00:12:45,719 Speaker 1: It is still this mindset that we're a global empire 223 00:12:46,040 --> 00:12:49,079 Speaker 1: where a global power or a policeman and sen coom as 224 00:12:49,080 --> 00:12:52,319 Speaker 1: I say, the three most powerful institutions in Washington, CEA 225 00:12:52,440 --> 00:12:56,480 Speaker 1: are the CIA, the Federal Reserve. In Sencom, it's still 226 00:12:56,679 --> 00:12:57,760 Speaker 1: Sencom centric. 227 00:12:57,840 --> 00:13:01,120 Speaker 2: Your thoughts, sir, Well, in Sencom hasn't had an impressive 228 00:13:01,160 --> 00:13:05,160 Speaker 2: co probably since Schwartzkoff was there thirty years ago. So 229 00:13:05,240 --> 00:13:07,000 Speaker 2: there's a problem right there. And don't even get me 230 00:13:07,000 --> 00:13:10,360 Speaker 2: started on CIA and some of these other ones. Ultimately, look, 231 00:13:10,400 --> 00:13:12,920 Speaker 2: this is the basis of my next book project, which 232 00:13:13,000 --> 00:13:17,079 Speaker 2: is Hemispheric Defense. The problem is Washington, d C. Congress 233 00:13:17,120 --> 00:13:20,679 Speaker 2: and the Senate. They still perceive the world as a 234 00:13:20,800 --> 00:13:24,880 Speaker 2: unipolar world. It is not. It is a tripolar world 235 00:13:25,160 --> 00:13:30,120 Speaker 2: shifting toward a multipolar one. The tripolar is US, Russia 236 00:13:30,160 --> 00:13:33,240 Speaker 2: and China. Those are the three bigs, and that needs 237 00:13:33,240 --> 00:13:36,079 Speaker 2: to be how we inform our foreign policy. And that 238 00:13:36,160 --> 00:13:39,120 Speaker 2: means we need to worry about our sphere of influence, 239 00:13:39,240 --> 00:13:43,160 Speaker 2: which is Western hemisphere. And as you note, the island 240 00:13:43,240 --> 00:13:45,920 Speaker 2: chains in the Indo Pacific as well Europe and the 241 00:13:45,960 --> 00:13:49,760 Speaker 2: Middle East are simply not essential to us anymore. We 242 00:13:49,840 --> 00:13:52,640 Speaker 2: have all the resources we need in our hemisphere. We 243 00:13:52,679 --> 00:13:55,160 Speaker 2: have everything we need right here. We should be developing 244 00:13:55,200 --> 00:13:57,720 Speaker 2: them and partnering with Russia when we can to develop 245 00:13:57,800 --> 00:14:01,079 Speaker 2: rare earth minerals. But that's not how our Congress thinks, 246 00:14:01,080 --> 00:14:02,960 Speaker 2: and you know, we have a lot of problems with 247 00:14:03,040 --> 00:14:06,720 Speaker 2: special interests influencing our Congress. And that's why they still 248 00:14:06,800 --> 00:14:09,120 Speaker 2: keep acting like the Middle East and Europe are the 249 00:14:09,160 --> 00:14:12,040 Speaker 2: primary battlefields. We've got to change our Congress, Steve, we 250 00:14:12,160 --> 00:14:13,280 Speaker 2: got to change our Congress. 251 00:14:15,840 --> 00:14:19,320 Speaker 1: Hang on one second, the cabinet met has not stopped. 252 00:14:19,360 --> 00:14:23,680 Speaker 1: I still got Treata and and Brandon may add a 253 00:14:23,680 --> 00:14:26,280 Speaker 1: couple other voices, and we ask Treta the question that 254 00:14:26,520 --> 00:14:28,720 Speaker 1: what they're going to say is that to go to 255 00:14:28,800 --> 00:14:32,680 Speaker 1: that and to recognize that Russia does have a regional 256 00:14:33,400 --> 00:14:37,640 Speaker 1: geopolitical center of gravity in that the CCP is going 257 00:14:37,720 --> 00:14:40,400 Speaker 1: to be quite strong in East Asia is to be defeatist. 258 00:14:41,600 --> 00:14:45,200 Speaker 1: That you're retreating from America, the all powerful America, the 259 00:14:45,240 --> 00:14:50,520 Speaker 1: global power packs, Americana, shore commercial break, war and the 260 00:14:50,600 --> 00:14:52,480 Speaker 1: rumors of war today in the war. 261 00:14:52,400 --> 00:15:01,160 Speaker 7: Room, kill America's voice. 262 00:15:01,200 --> 00:15:01,520 Speaker 2: Family. 263 00:15:01,600 --> 00:15:02,840 Speaker 3: Are you on Getter yet? 264 00:15:03,000 --> 00:15:03,040 Speaker 1: No? 265 00:15:03,400 --> 00:15:04,440 Speaker 8: What are you waiting for? 266 00:15:04,720 --> 00:15:07,680 Speaker 5: It's free, it's uncensored, and it's where all the biggest 267 00:15:07,720 --> 00:15:10,040 Speaker 5: voices in conservative media are speaking out. 268 00:15:11,080 --> 00:15:13,520 Speaker 1: Download the Getter app right now.

How about that treat up. You know, 293 00:16:19,640 --> 00:16:21,440 Speaker 1: you and Kurt mails in that crowd are just a 294 00:16:21,440 --> 00:16:27,400 Speaker 1: bunch of Coke brother sponsored libertarians. Open borders want to 295 00:16:27,440 --> 00:16:31,840 Speaker 1: retreat isolation as defeat us. The greatest generation gave us 296 00:16:31,840 --> 00:16:35,920 Speaker 1: the platform for packs Americana, uh, and now you're putting 297 00:16:35,920 --> 00:16:40,880 Speaker 1: your tail between your legs and retreating back to to uh. 298 00:16:41,120 --> 00:16:44,800 Speaker 1: To be basically, isolation is future of what the dark 299 00:16:44,880 --> 00:16:50,040 Speaker 1: forces of the world will then uh surround America, encapsulate America, 300 00:16:50,040 --> 00:16:51,760 Speaker 1: and eventually destroy America. 301 00:16:51,880 --> 00:16:57,200 Speaker 6: Your responsor, I think this whole thing about isolationism is 302 00:16:57,400 --> 00:17:00,320 Speaker 6: just ready hearing. At the end of the day, those 303 00:17:00,360 --> 00:17:03,320 Speaker 6: who are favoring realism and restraint actually want to have 304 00:17:03,360 --> 00:17:06,320 Speaker 6: interaction with the entire world, trade with everyone, have decent 305 00:17:06,359 --> 00:17:08,520 Speaker 6: relations with everyone. It's just that we don't want to 306 00:17:08,560 --> 00:17:11,080 Speaker 6: bomb everyone. We don't find it necessary to send out 307 00:17:11,119 --> 00:17:15,920 Speaker 6: American troops to die and kill for meaningless causes. How 308 00:17:15,960 --> 00:17:20,000 Speaker 6: can that possibly be interpreted as isolationism. The other side 309 00:17:20,119 --> 00:17:25,320 Speaker 6: essentially defines American engagement by a metric of seeing how 310 00:17:25,359 --> 00:17:28,199 Speaker 6: many countries are we bombing. That's I think what is 311 00:17:28,240 --> 00:17:31,160 Speaker 6: really wrong here. Our engagement is not based on how 312 00:17:31,160 --> 00:17:33,760 Speaker 6: many countries we're bombing, is how we're doing ourselves at 313 00:17:33,760 --> 00:17:36,080 Speaker 6: home and how we're managing to live in peace with 314 00:17:36,160 --> 00:17:39,399 Speaker 6: everyone else. Obviously, we're going to have challengers and enemies, 315 00:17:39,400 --> 00:17:41,640 Speaker 6: and we have to of course address those, but that 316 00:17:41,680 --> 00:17:44,280 Speaker 6: doesn't mean that we have to be everywhere all the time, 317 00:17:44,400 --> 00:17:47,920 Speaker 6: dominating militarily with seven hundred and fifty bases around the world. 318 00:17:48,040 --> 00:17:50,919 Speaker 6: When you are trying to dominate every corner of the 319 00:17:50,960 --> 00:17:54,320 Speaker 6: world all the time, you will be at war somewhere 320 00:17:54,600 --> 00:17:56,320 Speaker 6: all the time. And that is the history of the 321 00:17:56,400 --> 00:17:58,679 Speaker 6: United States for the last couple of decades. Saying that 322 00:17:58,680 --> 00:18:00,240 Speaker 6: we need to put an end to that is as 323 00:18:00,240 --> 00:18:01,880 Speaker 6: pro American as it possibly can get. 324 00:18:01,880 --> 00:18:02,280 Speaker 3: In MyD you. 325 00:18:05,320 --> 00:18:07,959 Speaker 1: Treta Where do people go get your content? Where they 326 00:18:07,960 --> 00:18:11,520 Speaker 1: find out your writings, your organization, your social media? 327 00:18:11,560 --> 00:18:14,600 Speaker 6: Where they go It should go to my Twitter, which 328 00:18:14,640 --> 00:18:18,000 Speaker 6: is t parsy, or it should go to our website, 329 00:18:18,080 --> 00:18:23,440 Speaker 6: which is Quincyinstitute quincyist dot org. We're named, of course 330 00:18:23,480 --> 00:18:28,120 Speaker 6: after John Quincy Adams, who gave that speech on July fourth, 331 00:18:28,320 --> 00:18:31,560 Speaker 6: eighteen twenty one, saying America goes not abroad in search 332 00:18:31,600 --> 00:18:35,600 Speaker 6: of monsters to destroy. That's our namesake, precisely for the 333 00:18:35,680 --> 00:18:38,840 Speaker 6: thinking behind his speech. There what he warned that even 334 00:18:38,880 --> 00:18:40,720 Speaker 6: if we were to do this, we might become the 335 00:18:41,480 --> 00:18:44,119 Speaker 6: dictresses of the world, but it will come at the 336 00:18:44,200 --> 00:18:48,280 Speaker 6: expense of the American people's own liberty, dignity, and freedoms, 337 00:18:48,440 --> 00:18:50,080 Speaker 6: which is exactly what I think has happened. 338 00:18:50,160 --> 00:18:54,520 Speaker 1: Unfortunately, Treta, thank you for joining us some morn. I 339 00:18:54,520 --> 00:18:55,040 Speaker 1: appreciate you. 340 00:18:55,720 --> 00:18:56,880 Speaker 4: Thank you so much for having me. 341 00:18:57,160 --> 00:19:00,840 Speaker 1: Pam Bondi, the Attorney General of the United I think, 342 00:19:00,920 --> 00:19:03,240 Speaker 1: has had a meeting with the New York Police Commissioner. 343 00:19:03,240 --> 00:19:05,919 Speaker 1: I believe I'm reading this correctly, and the police commissioners told, hey, 344 00:19:05,960 --> 00:19:09,520 Speaker 1: we don't no problem, no problem with crime in New York, 345 00:19:09,560 --> 00:19:11,879 Speaker 1: don't need don't need any of the military, don't need 346 00:19:11,880 --> 00:19:16,520 Speaker 1: the National Guard. Well look that's coming. We're a maximalusness arena. 347 00:19:16,560 --> 00:19:18,720 Speaker 1: We'll try to have John Lott on the next couple 348 00:19:18,720 --> 00:19:21,520 Speaker 1: of days. President Trump has cleaned up DC or it 349 00:19:21,640 --> 00:19:25,400 Speaker 1: begun the process of clean up DC from crime and filth. 350 00:19:25,400 --> 00:19:29,119 Speaker 1: AND's what's happened to our beloved capital, just in I 351 00:19:29,119 --> 00:19:32,760 Speaker 1: don't know under two weeks, next stop Chicago, next stop 352 00:19:32,840 --> 00:19:36,320 Speaker 1: New York, and LA's coming. I would right now pull 353 00:19:36,440 --> 00:19:40,760 Speaker 1: the twenty twenty four games from Los Angeles until Newsom 354 00:19:40,840 --> 00:19:44,400 Speaker 1: and the mayor convinced me that they were not neo Confederates, 355 00:19:44,400 --> 00:19:46,320 Speaker 1: and they were not. It was not a sanctuary state 356 00:19:46,359 --> 00:19:48,800 Speaker 1: and a sanctuary city and just a mess. I'd pull 357 00:19:48,800 --> 00:19:51,080 Speaker 1: it and I divide it up. I'd give it to 358 00:19:51,520 --> 00:19:56,120 Speaker 1: to Atlanta that's had games before in Dallas. You could 359 00:19:56,119 --> 00:19:58,119 Speaker 1: break this thing up right now and you wouldn't have 360 00:19:58,119 --> 00:20:01,200 Speaker 1: to build one new venue. You would you can make 361 00:20:01,240 --> 00:20:03,600 Speaker 1: do with what you got, with the transportation systems in 362 00:20:03,680 --> 00:20:06,520 Speaker 1: the can do attitude of the folks in Georgia and 363 00:20:06,560 --> 00:20:09,199 Speaker 1: the folks in Texas. It would be a burden on them, 364 00:20:09,200 --> 00:20:10,480 Speaker 1: but I think for the good of the country they 365 00:20:10,520 --> 00:20:11,840 Speaker 1: would do it. But I would pull it from Los 366 00:20:11,840 --> 00:20:18,000 Speaker 1: Angeles one hundred percent. Not even a question, brandon your thoughts. 367 00:20:19,080 --> 00:20:22,840 Speaker 1: Why you know this hemispheric defense? President Trump talks about it. 368 00:20:22,880 --> 00:20:25,360 Speaker 1: Do you actually think it's a strategy? Do you think 369 00:20:25,359 --> 00:20:29,560 Speaker 1: it works? Or is this just a cover for America's 370 00:20:29,600 --> 00:20:33,679 Speaker 1: retreat home? And we're defeated the CCP and the Russians 371 00:20:33,720 --> 00:20:35,600 Speaker 1: are going to control the Graacian landmass, so we're going 372 00:20:35,680 --> 00:20:37,840 Speaker 1: to come back here like whip dogs sir. 373 00:20:38,840 --> 00:20:42,080 Speaker 2: Well, Look, the Russians in Chinese hate each other historically. 374 00:20:42,359 --> 00:20:45,080 Speaker 2: The only reason they're working together is because of what 375 00:20:45,200 --> 00:20:48,000 Speaker 2: we're doing, primarily in Ukraine. And so this is why 376 00:20:48,080 --> 00:20:50,000 Speaker 2: we should have been ending the Ukraine War on day 377 00:20:50,040 --> 00:20:53,920 Speaker 2: one of Trump's second term. Hopefully it comes to be soon, 378 00:20:54,320 --> 00:20:58,040 Speaker 2: because I think those natural contradictions between Russia and China 379 00:20:58,040 --> 00:21:01,880 Speaker 2: will arise once the war is over. We're talking about 380 00:21:01,920 --> 00:21:06,280 Speaker 2: hemispheric defense because for thirty plus years, every American president 381 00:21:06,400 --> 00:21:10,919 Speaker 2: since probably Bill Clinton, has basically allowed for China and 382 00:21:11,080 --> 00:21:15,200 Speaker 2: Russia and local actors like Cuba and Venezuela to totally 383 00:21:15,240 --> 00:21:19,400 Speaker 2: destabilize our own backyard. Meanwhile, the Canadians have basically let 384 00:21:19,440 --> 00:21:21,800 Speaker 2: slip the Arctic, which is why, by the way, we 385 00:21:21,840 --> 00:21:25,040 Speaker 2: should be taking Alberta in Saskatchewan into our union, and 386 00:21:25,119 --> 00:21:28,480 Speaker 2: why we should be absorbing Greenland, which is a European issue. 387 00:21:28,200 --> 00:21:31,360 Speaker 2: But Europe and Canada have allowed our Arctic to go 388 00:21:31,920 --> 00:21:35,719 Speaker 2: to Russia and China, and we can't do anything around 389 00:21:35,720 --> 00:21:38,159 Speaker 2: the world that we want to if our own home 390 00:21:38,359 --> 00:21:41,679 Speaker 2: is being besieged. This is why we have the Monroe Doctrine, 391 00:21:41,720 --> 00:21:45,120 Speaker 2: and every American president has ignored it until Trump and 392 00:21:45,880 --> 00:21:48,399 Speaker 2: that is a malpractice on the part of those former 393 00:21:48,440 --> 00:21:51,160 Speaker 2: presidents and the Congresses that allowed for that to happen. 394 00:21:51,160 --> 00:21:53,159 Speaker 2: And I'm hopeful that we can get to a Western 395 00:21:53,160 --> 00:21:57,680 Speaker 2: hemispheric defense. It's Western hemispheric defense steve plus space dominance. 396 00:21:57,720 --> 00:21:59,200 Speaker 2: Those are the two things. 397 00:22:01,680 --> 00:22:03,720 Speaker 1: Brandon, you were on last week. We broke this all 398 00:22:03,760 --> 00:22:06,480 Speaker 1: down during the historic meeting at the White House. But 399 00:22:07,720 --> 00:22:10,040 Speaker 1: correct me if I'm wrong, because you're the expert here. 400 00:22:10,600 --> 00:22:13,920 Speaker 1: The Europeans have basically done exactly what they said they're 401 00:22:13,920 --> 00:22:15,840 Speaker 1: going to do. They go back. They don't have the troops, 402 00:22:15,880 --> 00:22:18,560 Speaker 1: they don't have those arms, and they don't have the money, 403 00:22:18,840 --> 00:22:21,080 Speaker 1: and most importantly, they don't have the political will to 404 00:22:21,080 --> 00:22:25,960 Speaker 1: do this. So right now, as Lavras says, there's no agenda, 405 00:22:27,160 --> 00:22:29,600 Speaker 1: and without an agenda, there's no meeting. Without a meeting, 406 00:22:29,600 --> 00:22:33,040 Speaker 1: there's no ceasefire xrpeace treaty. The reason there's no agenda, 407 00:22:33,760 --> 00:22:37,640 Speaker 1: there's not they're winning. As brutal as that sounds, as 408 00:22:37,680 --> 00:22:40,200 Speaker 1: brutal as it is in reality, they're winning and there's 409 00:22:40,200 --> 00:22:43,480 Speaker 1: no need for them to stop because the Europeans have 410 00:22:43,600 --> 00:22:45,760 Speaker 1: proven how feckless and hapless they are. 411 00:22:46,000 --> 00:22:50,080 Speaker 2: Sir, well, the Europeans are marching headlong into a war. 412 00:22:50,200 --> 00:22:53,720 Speaker 2: They're ac celebrating and readying it, and they're readying it 413 00:22:53,760 --> 00:22:56,320 Speaker 2: by of course trying to ensnare us. It's very similar 414 00:22:56,320 --> 00:22:58,680 Speaker 2: to what we were talking about with Israel, where our 415 00:22:58,720 --> 00:23:01,160 Speaker 2: allies have really gotten ahead their skis because they think 416 00:23:01,200 --> 00:23:03,040 Speaker 2: Big Brother is going to have their back and they 417 00:23:03,040 --> 00:23:05,960 Speaker 2: can take on whoever they want. But guess what, we 418 00:23:06,160 --> 00:23:08,919 Speaker 2: can't afford to have their back. And it's not in 419 00:23:08,960 --> 00:23:11,119 Speaker 2: our interest, by the way, to be picking fights with 420 00:23:11,280 --> 00:23:14,600 Speaker 2: nuclear armed Russia. Russia today is not the Soviet Union, 421 00:23:14,640 --> 00:23:18,080 Speaker 2: no matter what John Oliver on HBO jokes about, it's not. 422 00:23:18,560 --> 00:23:21,560 Speaker 2: They are very different and we can do business with them. 423 00:23:21,920 --> 00:23:23,920 Speaker 2: And you brought up Lavrov, and I would just say 424 00:23:24,000 --> 00:23:28,000 Speaker 2: Lavrov is probably objectively speaking, the most impressive diplomat in 425 00:23:28,040 --> 00:23:30,199 Speaker 2: the world right now, because he's the only adult in 426 00:23:30,240 --> 00:23:33,320 Speaker 2: the room. And you don't negotiate away your position of 427 00:23:33,359 --> 00:23:36,199 Speaker 2: strength when you're winning. And so we need to remember 428 00:23:36,280 --> 00:23:38,639 Speaker 2: that we have lost Ukraine and we do need to 429 00:23:38,640 --> 00:23:41,360 Speaker 2: get a negotiated settlement, but we need to understand we're 430 00:23:41,400 --> 00:23:43,639 Speaker 2: not going to be able to dictate terms to the 431 00:23:43,720 --> 00:23:44,640 Speaker 2: Russians anymore. 432 00:23:47,359 --> 00:23:50,160 Speaker 1: Brandon Where do people go for your writings? Pretty impressive 433 00:23:50,160 --> 00:23:53,320 Speaker 1: if you make things very accessible, very complex issues very accessible. 434 00:23:53,480 --> 00:23:56,719 Speaker 1: Where do folks go? You can go national Interest dot org. 435 00:23:56,760 --> 00:23:58,399 Speaker 2: I'm a senior national security editor. 436 00:23:58,400 --> 00:23:58,560 Speaker 9: There. 437 00:23:58,600 --> 00:24:00,760 Speaker 2: You can hear me at America Outline dot news The 438 00:24:00,840 --> 00:24:04,400 Speaker 2: National Security Hour every Wednesday at eight pm Eastern syndicated 439 00:24:04,440 --> 00:24:09,120 Speaker 2: on iHeart and also my Twitter at we the Brandon 440 00:24:09,320 --> 00:24:11,520 Speaker 2: and you can see all of my rantings there. 441 00:24:14,240 --> 00:24:15,679 Speaker 1: Thank you, brother, brother, appreciate it you. 442 00:24:15,680 --> 00:24:16,280 Speaker 3: Thank you, sir. 443 00:24:16,720 --> 00:24:20,000 Speaker 1: I'll talk to you soon. Thank you. 444 00:24:21,200 --> 00:24:21,320 Speaker 3: Uh. 445 00:24:21,680 --> 00:24:23,840 Speaker 1: We've got our own do we have our own? Ben 446 00:24:24,240 --> 00:24:27,400 Speaker 1: Harnwell from the internal eternal city in Rome. 447 00:24:28,160 --> 00:24:28,480 Speaker 3: Ben. 448 00:24:28,600 --> 00:24:31,440 Speaker 1: Uh, We're gonna blow this break, I think? Is that correct? 449 00:24:31,560 --> 00:24:34,000 Speaker 1: We're gonna We're gonna blow the break uh through the 450 00:24:34,000 --> 00:24:37,720 Speaker 1: good offices of Real America's voice, because we're awaiting momentarily 451 00:24:38,200 --> 00:24:41,360 Speaker 1: the cabinet mean to start, which President Trump will preside over. 452 00:24:41,359 --> 00:24:43,600 Speaker 1: And I'm sure he'll say a few words as he 453 00:24:43,640 --> 00:24:45,560 Speaker 1: always does, maybe go around the table and I think 454 00:24:45,600 --> 00:24:47,840 Speaker 1: maybe take a question or two, a cut and incoming 455 00:24:47,920 --> 00:24:52,720 Speaker 1: or two. Ben as bad as the KGB that run 456 00:24:52,800 --> 00:24:55,400 Speaker 1: the deal. I'm gonna say the quiet part out loud. 457 00:24:55,520 --> 00:24:58,960 Speaker 1: The reason that the United States, Russia was our biggest 458 00:24:58,960 --> 00:25:02,160 Speaker 1: ally in the World War and shed all that blood 459 00:25:02,880 --> 00:25:05,920 Speaker 1: when they were run by Marxists and Communists and these demons. 460 00:25:06,359 --> 00:25:09,959 Speaker 1: Is that Russia is a Christian nation and there's a 461 00:25:10,000 --> 00:25:14,480 Speaker 1: lot of affinity between the Russian people and the American people. 462 00:25:14,520 --> 00:25:20,960 Speaker 1: And that's what the globalist hate. These secularist atheists detest Russia, 463 00:25:21,000 --> 00:25:23,160 Speaker 1: and they do not want the United States. They don't 464 00:25:23,160 --> 00:25:25,680 Speaker 1: want to rap Prochemont at all. I know you disagree 465 00:25:25,680 --> 00:25:27,560 Speaker 1: with a little bit of this going on with its conversation. 466 00:25:27,720 --> 00:25:32,080 Speaker 1: That gives your perspective from Rome and particularly where we 467 00:25:32,119 --> 00:25:36,000 Speaker 1: are in this fiasco, is Lavrov's giving lessons to the 468 00:25:36,040 --> 00:25:41,760 Speaker 1: infantile American media on what the reality of geopolitics is. 469 00:25:42,359 --> 00:25:45,359 Speaker 4: Sir Steve, good morning. 470 00:25:45,400 --> 00:25:47,840 Speaker 10: Well, you don't have to be a fully signed a 471 00:25:47,880 --> 00:25:52,879 Speaker 10: member of the Third Rome Brigade to realize that Russia 472 00:25:52,960 --> 00:25:55,720 Speaker 10: is a natural ally of the West. I do have 473 00:25:55,760 --> 00:26:00,879 Speaker 10: a great sympathy, by the way, with the Third Rome concept, 474 00:26:01,200 --> 00:26:03,479 Speaker 10: but you don't have to be all the way in 475 00:26:03,560 --> 00:26:07,639 Speaker 10: on that to realize that that President Putin shares a 476 00:26:07,760 --> 00:26:13,200 Speaker 10: huge common common ground with a lot of what MAGA 477 00:26:13,240 --> 00:26:13,679 Speaker 10: stands for. 478 00:26:14,119 --> 00:26:15,080 Speaker 4: In fact, Steve. 479 00:26:15,280 --> 00:26:19,440 Speaker 10: Over ten years ago there was a conference in the Vatican. 480 00:26:20,720 --> 00:26:24,520 Speaker 4: Which you spoke on precisely this point. 481 00:26:24,680 --> 00:26:27,040 Speaker 10: And you know, just you know, you wouldn't be able 482 00:26:27,080 --> 00:26:31,080 Speaker 10: to date that is ten years ago because your position 483 00:26:31,119 --> 00:26:34,720 Speaker 10: has been so coherent in that Putin could be a 484 00:26:34,720 --> 00:26:37,199 Speaker 10: bad guy, could be a bit of a thug, but 485 00:26:37,359 --> 00:26:40,920 Speaker 10: on the world stage he's a natural ally as a 486 00:26:41,000 --> 00:26:43,960 Speaker 10: nationalist of many things that that MAGA wants. 487 00:26:43,960 --> 00:26:46,560 Speaker 4: And this is like, this was, this is twenty fourteen. 488 00:26:46,600 --> 00:26:49,959 Speaker 10: This is a year, full year before President Trump even 489 00:26:50,400 --> 00:26:53,639 Speaker 10: declared his candidacy. You know, I think that's, Steve, That's 490 00:26:53,680 --> 00:26:58,200 Speaker 10: a very reasonable thing to say, right. So, look, it's 491 00:26:58,240 --> 00:27:01,280 Speaker 10: an interesting debate that I conversation that I just said, 492 00:27:01,400 --> 00:27:03,600 Speaker 10: I agreed with pretty much. I didn't really disagree with 493 00:27:03,680 --> 00:27:04,120 Speaker 10: very much. 494 00:27:04,359 --> 00:27:06,680 Speaker 4: I agreed to everything that Brandon was saying. 495 00:27:07,600 --> 00:27:11,199 Speaker 10: The only thing I would add, which you would one 496 00:27:11,240 --> 00:27:13,160 Speaker 10: hundred percent I think agree with, is that the other 497 00:27:13,200 --> 00:27:16,600 Speaker 10: thing in Russia's favor here with regards to the ending 498 00:27:16,640 --> 00:27:19,679 Speaker 10: of this or however it worked itself out, is that 499 00:27:19,720 --> 00:27:22,359 Speaker 10: this war is existential for Russia and it's not for 500 00:27:22,400 --> 00:27:24,679 Speaker 10: the West, not for the US. 501 00:27:24,560 --> 00:27:25,560 Speaker 4: Not for Europe. 502 00:27:25,600 --> 00:27:29,600 Speaker 10: That is obviously also another thing going in Russia's favor, 503 00:27:29,720 --> 00:27:33,320 Speaker 10: and it's why Lavrov, Sergei Lavrov is holding the line 504 00:27:33,480 --> 00:27:36,280 Speaker 10: effectively saying exactly now what he was saying three and 505 00:27:36,280 --> 00:27:39,000 Speaker 10: a half years ago. See, there are things coming out 506 00:27:39,000 --> 00:27:43,040 Speaker 10: of Europe over the last twenty four forty hours. 507 00:27:43,600 --> 00:27:44,440 Speaker 4: The last time I was on. 508 00:27:44,359 --> 00:27:46,280 Speaker 10: The show a couple of days ago, I mentioned the 509 00:27:46,680 --> 00:27:50,639 Speaker 10: position sponsored by Phony Maloney that most of Europe seemed 510 00:27:50,640 --> 00:27:54,080 Speaker 10: to be coalescing behind. This was the idea of NATO Light, 511 00:27:54,400 --> 00:27:58,080 Speaker 10: which the war room posse will remember her pitch there 512 00:27:58,160 --> 00:28:02,600 Speaker 10: being that we're going to give the EU NATO members 513 00:28:02,600 --> 00:28:06,760 Speaker 10: will give outside of the NATO infrastructure Article five type 514 00:28:06,880 --> 00:28:11,919 Speaker 10: protections to Ukraine as part of the security guarantees without 515 00:28:11,960 --> 00:28:17,720 Speaker 10: actually inviting formally or formerly making Ukraine a member of NATO. 516 00:28:18,280 --> 00:28:23,080 Speaker 10: Strange enough, now Germany seems to be pushing forward with 517 00:28:23,200 --> 00:28:28,760 Speaker 10: a slightly different concept, and you can see the division 518 00:28:28,800 --> 00:28:32,720 Speaker 10: now that's splitting right down the middle of Germany's political class, 519 00:28:32,800 --> 00:28:35,800 Speaker 10: because a few days ago we heard the Foreign Minister 520 00:28:37,040 --> 00:28:40,960 Speaker 10: Johann Varda fool is his surname is actually Varda Fool, 521 00:28:42,280 --> 00:28:46,200 Speaker 10: Varda Fool, and he is saying that, you know, we 522 00:28:46,240 --> 00:28:49,680 Speaker 10: really didn't have troops to be able to commit. 523 00:28:50,920 --> 00:28:52,640 Speaker 4: To the security guarantees. 524 00:28:52,760 --> 00:28:55,440 Speaker 10: Well, now, the vice Chancellor, that is to say, the 525 00:28:55,560 --> 00:29:00,680 Speaker 10: deputy prime Minister and find finance minister last cling I 526 00:29:00,760 --> 00:29:04,000 Speaker 10: said that that there will be Germany will be committing 527 00:29:04,160 --> 00:29:08,680 Speaker 10: security and committing to the security guarantees. However, he said 528 00:29:08,720 --> 00:29:11,320 Speaker 10: in what Russia was what Germany was going to be pledging. 529 00:29:11,560 --> 00:29:14,240 Speaker 10: The way he seemed to frame it was that these 530 00:29:14,320 --> 00:29:17,000 Speaker 10: these will come into place, The security guarantees will come 531 00:29:17,000 --> 00:29:21,080 Speaker 10: into space after a cease fire is reached, rather than 532 00:29:21,480 --> 00:29:25,280 Speaker 10: as a precondition for the ceasefire. The important thing there, Steve, 533 00:29:25,680 --> 00:29:27,840 Speaker 10: and you can see this from his own remarks that 534 00:29:27,880 --> 00:29:32,240 Speaker 10: he's saying that the idea of Putin and Zelensky sitting 535 00:29:32,240 --> 00:29:36,040 Speaker 10: down with one another is still so far off. It's 536 00:29:36,080 --> 00:29:38,120 Speaker 10: a bit early to be talking about this. So what 537 00:29:38,160 --> 00:29:40,840 Speaker 10: he's obviously doing is performative. They know they're not going 538 00:29:40,880 --> 00:29:44,440 Speaker 10: to be called on to commit, so they're so that 539 00:29:44,600 --> 00:29:45,160 Speaker 10: they're doing. 540 00:29:46,400 --> 00:29:50,200 Speaker 1: But but hang on, let me tell you what we gotta. 541 00:29:50,280 --> 00:29:53,080 Speaker 1: We got to these beauties that got us into this thing, 542 00:29:53,120 --> 00:29:56,040 Speaker 1: and trurely stab ritas in this crowd. Let's play a 543 00:29:56,040 --> 00:29:57,440 Speaker 1: short clip of this and I want to come back 544 00:29:57,480 --> 00:30:01,640 Speaker 1: because here's here's my problem, or here's real reality, is 545 00:30:01,680 --> 00:30:06,520 Speaker 1: that anything that has to happen on guarantees, security, economic 546 00:30:06,560 --> 00:30:09,520 Speaker 1: guarantees has to be multi year and actually will be 547 00:30:09,600 --> 00:30:13,680 Speaker 1: multi decade. What they're talking about now barely is anything 548 00:30:13,760 --> 00:30:17,320 Speaker 1: that even consider us opening a conversation about. And they're 549 00:30:17,320 --> 00:30:18,840 Speaker 1: not going to be around in a couple of years. 550 00:30:19,760 --> 00:30:22,520 Speaker 1: I hate to say this, I think that somebody smart 551 00:30:22,560 --> 00:30:24,840 Speaker 1: has got to start thinking about what the endgame is. 552 00:30:24,920 --> 00:30:29,080 Speaker 1: President Trump just reiterated yesterday in the Oval Office that 553 00:30:29,120 --> 00:30:31,480 Speaker 1: we're not putting up any more money. He would sell 554 00:30:31,560 --> 00:30:34,600 Speaker 1: arms to people. And the big arms deal they're talking about, 555 00:30:34,640 --> 00:30:37,920 Speaker 1: you know in the BBC, in the Guardian this morning, 556 00:30:38,440 --> 00:30:42,239 Speaker 1: is a billion dollars a month, right financed by the 557 00:30:42,280 --> 00:30:46,400 Speaker 1: Europeans and purchase to the Americans. Although we don't have 558 00:30:46,440 --> 00:30:48,680 Speaker 1: the arms right now, but the Europeans aren't going to 559 00:30:48,680 --> 00:30:50,840 Speaker 1: stick around and put up a billion dollars And that's nothing. 560 00:30:50,920 --> 00:30:52,560 Speaker 1: That's just a drop in the that's a drop in 561 00:30:52,560 --> 00:30:56,000 Speaker 1: the bucket. Number one. Also, they don't have any more manpower. 562 00:30:56,440 --> 00:30:58,920 Speaker 1: This is why they're allowing sixty year olds. How many 563 00:30:59,000 --> 00:31:02,040 Speaker 1: the audience of sixty yearsyears old, you feel like picking 564 00:31:02,120 --> 00:31:04,520 Speaker 1: up a weapon and going to the Eastern Front in 565 00:31:04,680 --> 00:31:08,720 Speaker 1: Ukraine and fighting the Russian army in that environment and 566 00:31:08,800 --> 00:31:12,520 Speaker 1: that cold or the heat in an environment that looks 567 00:31:12,560 --> 00:31:16,720 Speaker 1: like the Western Front in World War in World War One? 568 00:31:17,720 --> 00:31:19,720 Speaker 1: Is that what you want to do? Do we have 569 00:31:19,760 --> 00:31:21,480 Speaker 1: the clip? We can play I kind of lost my 570 00:31:21,840 --> 00:31:24,400 Speaker 1: monitor here, can let's play the clip? 571 00:31:24,880 --> 00:31:27,200 Speaker 5: Is taking all this very seriously? They say they're taking 572 00:31:27,200 --> 00:31:29,320 Speaker 5: it very seriously, and they understand, of course, at that 573 00:31:29,440 --> 00:31:31,960 Speaker 5: threat not just of sanctions, but of course also of 574 00:31:32,040 --> 00:31:35,440 Speaker 5: secondary tariffs against countries that buy Russian oil is still 575 00:31:35,520 --> 00:31:37,320 Speaker 5: very much out there by the US President. At the 576 00:31:37,320 --> 00:31:39,600 Speaker 5: same time, it really appears as though the Kremlin believes 577 00:31:39,800 --> 00:31:42,280 Speaker 5: that time is on their side. Some of the things 578 00:31:42,280 --> 00:31:44,360 Speaker 5: that we've heard here in Moscow over the past couple 579 00:31:44,400 --> 00:31:48,000 Speaker 5: of days, especially from Russia's Foreign minister Saragai Lavrov, saying 580 00:31:48,040 --> 00:31:51,080 Speaker 5: that Vladimir Putin on the whole is ready and is 581 00:31:51,120 --> 00:31:53,120 Speaker 5: willing to have a sum at the direct meeting with 582 00:31:53,160 --> 00:31:56,480 Speaker 5: Vladimir Zelenski of Ukraine. But that's something like that needs 583 00:31:56,520 --> 00:31:59,160 Speaker 5: to be accurately prepared, as he put it, and needs 584 00:31:59,160 --> 00:32:02,560 Speaker 5: to be prepared in a way that actual progress can 585 00:32:02,600 --> 00:32:04,680 Speaker 5: be achieved, and the Russians, at least for their partner, 586 00:32:04,680 --> 00:32:07,720 Speaker 5: saying they believe that things are still very far away 587 00:32:07,720 --> 00:32:10,080 Speaker 5: from that being the case. They certainly aren't talking about 588 00:32:10,120 --> 00:32:12,600 Speaker 5: this two week deadliner whether or not there's going to 589 00:32:12,640 --> 00:32:14,640 Speaker 5: be a summit in those two weeks. They are saying 590 00:32:14,800 --> 00:32:17,160 Speaker 5: that it is still very much a long road ahead 591 00:32:17,200 --> 00:32:19,560 Speaker 5: before a summit like that could take place. And there's 592 00:32:19,600 --> 00:32:22,240 Speaker 5: really two things that the Russians are focusing on. One 593 00:32:22,240 --> 00:32:25,160 Speaker 5: of them is those security guarantees for Ukraine that of 594 00:32:25,200 --> 00:32:28,720 Speaker 5: course the Ukrainians and their European allies keep talking about, 595 00:32:28,760 --> 00:32:31,320 Speaker 5: and of course the White House as well possible Western 596 00:32:31,440 --> 00:32:35,440 Speaker 5: troops on the ground in Ukraine, possibly the US also 597 00:32:35,520 --> 00:32:38,440 Speaker 5: chipping in, for instance with air power. The Russians are 598 00:32:38,480 --> 00:32:41,720 Speaker 5: saying that they don't want Western troops on the ground. 599 00:32:41,720 --> 00:32:44,720 Speaker 5: They are saying that that would be detrimental to Russian security. 600 00:32:44,760 --> 00:32:47,920 Speaker 5: They in fact want to have a say in Ukraine's 601 00:32:47,920 --> 00:32:50,880 Speaker 5: future security as well. That's something that of course could 602 00:32:50,960 --> 00:32:52,760 Speaker 5: be very difficult to breach. And then as far as 603 00:32:52,880 --> 00:32:56,080 Speaker 5: territories are concerned, the Russians still saying that they believe 604 00:32:56,080 --> 00:32:58,480 Speaker 5: the Ukrainians are going to have to give up territory, 605 00:32:58,480 --> 00:33:01,040 Speaker 5: and that's something that of course needs to be discuss 606 00:33:01,160 --> 00:33:03,000 Speaker 5: So right now the Russians are saying that from their 607 00:33:03,120 --> 00:33:06,840 Speaker 5: vantage point, Vladimir Putin is ready to meet with Vladimir Zelenski, 608 00:33:07,000 --> 00:33:09,600 Speaker 5: but it certainly doesn't appear from the Russians that all 609 00:33:09,600 --> 00:33:12,800 Speaker 5: of that is in the cards anytime soon, or possibly 610 00:33:12,800 --> 00:33:15,760 Speaker 5: anytime soon. The next thing on Vladimir Putin's agenda is, 611 00:33:15,800 --> 00:33:18,160 Speaker 5: of course, his big trip to China that he's going 612 00:33:18,160 --> 00:33:21,000 Speaker 5: to be holding at the end of this week, where 613 00:33:21,040 --> 00:33:23,840 Speaker 5: he's going to meet with Xijianping. The relations between Russia 614 00:33:23,880 --> 00:33:26,080 Speaker 5: and China, of course very important, and one of the 615 00:33:26,080 --> 00:33:28,160 Speaker 5: things that we've seen the Russians do and the run 616 00:33:28,240 --> 00:33:30,960 Speaker 5: up to that big visit by Vladimir Putin in China 617 00:33:31,120 --> 00:33:34,560 Speaker 5: is that the speaker of Russian Parliament, Vyatschislav Baladin is 618 00:33:34,600 --> 00:33:38,440 Speaker 5: already on the ground in China meeting with senior Chinese officials, 619 00:33:38,440 --> 00:33:42,760 Speaker 5: including Shijiping and saying that those Bilater relations, if anything, 620 00:33:42,840 --> 00:33:46,560 Speaker 5: are going to become even more important than before. What 621 00:33:46,600 --> 00:33:49,040 Speaker 5: we can see right now is China and Russia moving 622 00:33:49,160 --> 00:33:51,920 Speaker 5: closer together, also in the face of course of pressure 623 00:33:51,920 --> 00:33:52,880 Speaker 5: from the Trump administration. 624 00:33:53,000 --> 00:33:53,240 Speaker 1: Danny. 625 00:33:53,360 --> 00:33:59,800 Speaker 9: Number one financial secondary sanctions on those who purchase Russian oil, 626 00:34:00,200 --> 00:34:05,120 Speaker 9: putin where it hurts his economy. Number two military Fred 627 00:34:05,160 --> 00:34:08,440 Speaker 9: mentioned it a moment ago. Let's get serious about putting 628 00:34:08,560 --> 00:34:13,960 Speaker 9: Western troops into Ukraine. Make them trainers, advisors. Don't have 629 00:34:14,040 --> 00:34:16,799 Speaker 9: to be American boots on the ground, but show that 630 00:34:17,000 --> 00:34:22,040 Speaker 9: plan to putin there's a military component. And then third, politically, 631 00:34:23,000 --> 00:34:25,960 Speaker 9: we talked right after the summit President Trump did with 632 00:34:26,040 --> 00:34:29,320 Speaker 9: a lot of European leaders about the idea of giving 633 00:34:29,440 --> 00:34:34,759 Speaker 9: diplomatic security guarantees NATO like an attack on one and 634 00:34:34,880 --> 00:34:35,560 Speaker 9: attack on. 635 00:34:35,520 --> 00:34:36,760 Speaker 3: All Article five. 636 00:34:37,400 --> 00:34:40,680 Speaker 9: Like, I think it's time to roll those three Trump 637 00:34:40,719 --> 00:34:44,120 Speaker 9: cards out and start playing them because until. 638 00:34:43,880 --> 00:34:49,960 Speaker 1: You, yeah, Steve Ritas ought to be, you know, put 639 00:34:50,000 --> 00:34:53,880 Speaker 1: on trial. What he's done is so destructive. This clown 640 00:34:53,960 --> 00:34:55,640 Speaker 1: has been and I knew this guy back in the Navy. 641 00:34:55,680 --> 00:35:00,400 Speaker 1: This clown has been dead wrong about everything on his 642 00:35:00,480 --> 00:35:04,640 Speaker 1: hands and the other punks like him, and now having 643 00:35:04,719 --> 00:35:09,400 Speaker 1: lost everywhere, having been misled everybody, having lied about things 644 00:35:09,440 --> 00:35:14,000 Speaker 1: and been wrong right now their whole thing. You need 645 00:35:14,040 --> 00:35:16,520 Speaker 1: boots on the ground. But hey, we're just gonna start 646 00:35:17,120 --> 00:35:19,880 Speaker 1: with advisors and trainers. Do you hear that pitch before. 647 00:35:20,960 --> 00:35:23,920 Speaker 1: Was that not back in the early nineteen sixties? Is Vietnam? 648 00:35:24,000 --> 00:35:25,560 Speaker 1: This is how you get involved in everything. Hey, we're 649 00:35:25,560 --> 00:35:27,920 Speaker 1: just gonna have some of a couple of advisors, you know, 650 00:35:28,120 --> 00:35:30,200 Speaker 1: just advisors and a couple of trainers are gonna train 651 00:35:30,280 --> 00:35:32,959 Speaker 1: some people, right, doesn't have to be boots on the ground. 652 00:35:32,960 --> 00:35:35,640 Speaker 1: It's gonna be tennis.

This war is over. 654 00:35:43,280 --> 00:35:48,080 Speaker 1: The Ukrainian people have been destroyed. One point eight million 655 00:35:48,840 --> 00:35:51,560 Speaker 1: casualties dead or one of the Ukrainians a million over 656 00:35:51,600 --> 00:35:55,560 Speaker 1: a million Russians. Suck on that for a minute. Those 657 00:35:55,600 --> 00:35:57,560 Speaker 1: are cat bigger than the start of World War Two 658 00:35:57,719 --> 00:35:59,640 Speaker 1: until until they went in and I'm talking about the 659 00:35:59,640 --> 00:36:04,440 Speaker 1: fallow Western Europe and North Africa until they went into Russia. 660 00:36:04,480 --> 00:36:08,359 Speaker 1: I mean, these are horrific numbers in the amount of money, 661 00:36:08,440 --> 00:36:10,360 Speaker 1: the blood and treasure. And it was the blood of 662 00:36:10,400 --> 00:36:14,600 Speaker 1: the Ukrainian people, as Mersheimer said and Jack Pasobik said, 663 00:36:14,680 --> 00:36:18,040 Speaker 1: and Ben Harnwell said from Rome and Stephen K. Bannon 664 00:36:18,200 --> 00:36:22,640 Speaker 1: from the Imperial Capital, over and over and over again 665 00:36:22,680 --> 00:36:26,040 Speaker 1: over three years ago. And these people are still at it. 666 00:36:26,160 --> 00:36:29,440 Speaker 1: I mean, the hutzpah is just my Here's here's why 667 00:36:29,480 --> 00:36:33,640 Speaker 1: they can do it because nobody holds them accountable. MSNBC 668 00:36:33,800 --> 00:36:36,919 Speaker 1: is a disgrace. When you guys are when you're spun 669 00:36:37,000 --> 00:36:39,040 Speaker 1: off into your new company and your new name, you're 670 00:36:39,120 --> 00:36:44,000 Speaker 1: going to collapse. You don't have the viewership, you don't 671 00:36:44,000 --> 00:36:45,840 Speaker 1: have this fighting. And boy, if Bobby Kennedy, if we 672 00:36:45,920 --> 00:36:50,760 Speaker 1: were ever able to get ever able to get ads 673 00:36:50,840 --> 00:36:53,000 Speaker 1: being taken out, if we're ever able to be getting 674 00:36:53,760 --> 00:36:57,080 Speaker 1: you know, pharmaceutical ads taken out, it'd be over. Ben Harnwell, 675 00:36:57,800 --> 00:37:00,400 Speaker 1: your thoughts after you heard the you heard the overall 676 00:37:00,520 --> 00:37:05,880 Speaker 1: vision because this is not happening. SOLVENI kind of undercut 677 00:37:06,480 --> 00:37:10,120 Speaker 1: Maloney yesterday. He's screaming at on Twitter. He's screaming at 678 00:37:10,280 --> 00:37:13,640 Speaker 1: Macrone who's still talking about, you know, putting troops he 679 00:37:13,760 --> 00:37:17,479 Speaker 1: doesn't have in Ukraine, and Salvena says it will never happen, 680 00:37:17,560 --> 00:37:20,719 Speaker 1: no Italian troops. Do he and Maloney ever talk to 681 00:37:20,760 --> 00:37:21,560 Speaker 1: each other, sir. 682 00:37:23,120 --> 00:37:27,080 Speaker 10: It's just performative as far as Italian politics goes. And 683 00:37:27,480 --> 00:37:30,680 Speaker 10: whilst we're talking about phony, Maloney, I have to bring 684 00:37:30,760 --> 00:37:33,640 Speaker 10: out the fact as I thanks for giving me the 685 00:37:33,760 --> 00:37:36,920 Speaker 10: intro for this, right, because it is astonishing. Here's a 686 00:37:37,000 --> 00:37:41,600 Speaker 10: person who is claiming that Russia represents an existential threat 687 00:37:41,719 --> 00:37:45,239 Speaker 10: to Italy, and she's spending sixteen trillion dollars on a 688 00:37:45,360 --> 00:37:49,160 Speaker 10: bridge to connect the mainland with the island of Sicily. 689 00:37:50,520 --> 00:37:53,840 Speaker 4: The point is obvious, right, which, by the way. 690 00:37:53,840 --> 00:37:57,560 Speaker 10: She's going to pound using the Italian genius for dodgy accounting, 691 00:37:57,719 --> 00:38:00,279 Speaker 10: creative accounting. She's going to detract that from her five 692 00:38:00,320 --> 00:38:03,560 Speaker 10: percent commitment that she looked at President Trump and I 693 00:38:03,719 --> 00:38:05,000 Speaker 10: and said she would do. 694 00:38:05,719 --> 00:38:08,440 Speaker 4: If Phony Maloney really thought. 695 00:38:08,400 --> 00:38:11,880 Speaker 10: That Russia represented an existential threat to Italy, she'd be 696 00:38:11,960 --> 00:38:14,480 Speaker 10: putting that sixteen trillion dollars, which is a lot of 697 00:38:14,560 --> 00:38:17,239 Speaker 10: money for Italy. It's a tenth of the size of 698 00:38:17,320 --> 00:38:19,680 Speaker 10: the US economy, right, so just times it by ten 699 00:38:19,880 --> 00:38:21,320 Speaker 10: to get that in US terms. 700 00:38:22,080 --> 00:38:24,160 Speaker 4: If she really thought that that that Russia. 701 00:38:23,920 --> 00:38:27,480 Speaker 10: Was an existential bet, she'd be piling that money, believe me, 702 00:38:27,719 --> 00:38:32,879 Speaker 10: into tanks and aeroplanes. Okay, to go back a little 703 00:38:32,920 --> 00:38:35,640 Speaker 10: bit to the questions that you asked me. However, before 704 00:38:35,680 --> 00:38:38,759 Speaker 10: we had that that CNN clip and the ridiculousness from 705 00:38:38,800 --> 00:38:45,520 Speaker 10: Admiral stavridis about this billion dollars per month, which Zelenski 706 00:38:45,560 --> 00:38:47,520 Speaker 10: said on Monday yesterday, he thinks he's. 707 00:38:47,400 --> 00:38:53,000 Speaker 4: Going to get from his European allies. 708 00:38:53,040 --> 00:38:55,240 Speaker 10: Firstly, whether he gets that money or whether he doesn't, 709 00:38:56,560 --> 00:38:59,880 Speaker 10: you can bet your bottom dollar, folks. As a Steve 710 00:39:00,040 --> 00:39:02,399 Speaker 10: you would say, assures the turning of the earth as 711 00:39:02,560 --> 00:39:04,479 Speaker 10: sure as the turning of the earth. 712 00:39:04,800 --> 00:39:07,919 Speaker 4: That money, if it comes at one billion dollars. 713 00:39:09,360 --> 00:39:12,400 Speaker 10: Per month, that will be detracted from the Member States 714 00:39:12,480 --> 00:39:17,080 Speaker 10: five percent NATO pledge. And I want to make this point, Okay, 715 00:39:17,920 --> 00:39:22,720 Speaker 10: President Trump, when he prushed his European so called allies, 716 00:39:22,760 --> 00:39:27,520 Speaker 10: his native allies, into committing to boosting their defense expenditure 717 00:39:27,560 --> 00:39:30,560 Speaker 10: from two to five percent, he did that because he 718 00:39:30,719 --> 00:39:33,799 Speaker 10: wants peace. He wants these European countries to be able 719 00:39:33,840 --> 00:39:40,359 Speaker 10: to defend themselves because strong, secure nation states create peaceful neighborhoods. 720 00:39:41,840 --> 00:39:46,000 Speaker 10: He under underestimated, Steve how wiley, however, how wily and 721 00:39:46,080 --> 00:39:50,960 Speaker 10: corrupt these nations are. He's telling them to increase their expenditure. 722 00:39:51,040 --> 00:39:53,360 Speaker 10: And that money that he was hoping was going to 723 00:39:53,440 --> 00:39:57,440 Speaker 10: go into two tanks and aeroplanes, largely I guess produced 724 00:39:57,440 --> 00:40:00,400 Speaker 10: by the US. They're going to funnel that money instead 725 00:40:00,440 --> 00:40:03,000 Speaker 10: of buying tanks and airplanes, they're going to have funnel 726 00:40:03,000 --> 00:40:04,319 Speaker 10: that money into Zelenski. 727 00:40:05,040 --> 00:40:08,400 Speaker 4: This five percent, which is a disaster. That's not what 728 00:40:08,600 --> 00:40:11,240 Speaker 4: President Trump wants. President Trump wants peace. 729 00:40:11,640 --> 00:40:14,200 Speaker 10: He didn't want to force these European nations into the 730 00:40:14,360 --> 00:40:17,319 Speaker 10: very mechanism that's going to keep this war going. I'll 731 00:40:17,360 --> 00:40:19,880 Speaker 10: give back to you on on on on this point, Steve, 732 00:40:20,880 --> 00:40:24,280 Speaker 10: for this five percent, which is a good idea in principle, 733 00:40:24,560 --> 00:40:28,080 Speaker 10: for that to really deliver what President Trump is hoping for, 734 00:40:28,360 --> 00:40:32,520 Speaker 10: he really needs to appoint like an envoy, especially envoy 735 00:40:33,000 --> 00:40:36,200 Speaker 10: I don't know of ambassador rank or cabinet rank or 736 00:40:36,239 --> 00:40:39,560 Speaker 10: something like that, that spends their time, someone who understands 737 00:40:39,600 --> 00:40:43,400 Speaker 10: the medley military, someone who understands a balance sheet, and 738 00:40:43,480 --> 00:40:47,640 Speaker 10: then goes round all the European capitals and makes sure 739 00:40:49,600 --> 00:40:54,040 Speaker 10: that they spend their increased defense expensure on legitimate expensure, 740 00:40:54,440 --> 00:40:57,319 Speaker 10: not on bridges to nowhere, because at the moment they're 741 00:40:57,360 --> 00:41:01,800 Speaker 10: just taking what President Trump has insisted on, creating the 742 00:41:02,200 --> 00:41:05,839 Speaker 10: environment for further chaos and their long term strategy. Steve, 743 00:41:05,880 --> 00:41:07,600 Speaker 10: to come back to the point you asked me, you 744 00:41:07,680 --> 00:41:10,799 Speaker 10: know about this one billionplemnth being a long term thing. 745 00:41:11,120 --> 00:41:13,880 Speaker 10: They are trying to see Trump out and in the 746 00:41:13,960 --> 00:41:18,160 Speaker 10: meantime create the pretext to drag the United States into 747 00:41:18,239 --> 00:41:18,920 Speaker 10: this conflict. 748 00:41:21,640 --> 00:41:23,799 Speaker 1: Hangar a second, I have you stick there. We got 749 00:41:24,040 --> 00:41:28,320 Speaker 1: El todd Wood is with us over at CDM Media 750 00:41:28,880 --> 00:41:33,200 Speaker 1: Creative Destruction Media Todd and you're joining us from an 751 00:41:33,320 --> 00:41:36,399 Speaker 1: undisclosed I guess still location in the Middle East. Talk 752 00:41:36,400 --> 00:41:38,440 Speaker 1: to me about you wrote this provocative piece the other 753 00:41:38,520 --> 00:41:42,680 Speaker 1: day up on CDM about the formation of a Christian state. 754 00:41:42,760 --> 00:41:45,400 Speaker 1: We have a Jewish state called Israel, but a the 755 00:41:45,520 --> 00:41:49,759 Speaker 1: formation potential formation of a Christian state in areas of 756 00:41:49,840 --> 00:41:51,840 Speaker 1: the Middle East. What do you mean by that? 757 00:41:53,680 --> 00:41:54,840 Speaker 3: Well, Steve, thanks for having me on. 758 00:41:55,239 --> 00:41:57,719 Speaker 8: I have been meeting for the last two weeks with religious, 759 00:41:57,840 --> 00:42:02,839 Speaker 8: military and political leaders here in Lebanon, and you talked 760 00:42:02,840 --> 00:42:06,759 Speaker 8: about pattern recognition. The pattern in Lebanon has been a slow, 761 00:42:06,840 --> 00:42:10,200 Speaker 8: but steady and intentional, in my point, in my view, 762 00:42:10,760 --> 00:42:14,200 Speaker 8: destruction of the Christian population in Lebanon. In nineteen seventy 763 00:42:14,239 --> 00:42:16,719 Speaker 8: it was close to seventy percent of the country. It's 764 00:42:16,800 --> 00:42:17,880 Speaker 8: down below forty now. 765 00:42:18,200 --> 00:42:18,800 Speaker 3: And why is that? 766 00:42:18,920 --> 00:42:22,719 Speaker 8: Because they brought in Palestinians that started a fifteen year 767 00:42:22,760 --> 00:42:26,760 Speaker 8: Civil War. They brought in the Syrians. George Bush, Daddy 768 00:42:26,800 --> 00:42:29,759 Speaker 8: Bush allowed the Syrians to take over Lebanon so they 769 00:42:29,760 --> 00:42:31,840 Speaker 8: would join him in the Gulf War. And it was 770 00:42:31,960 --> 00:42:36,680 Speaker 8: very destructive to the Christian power centers, economy and everything. 771 00:42:37,040 --> 00:42:40,319 Speaker 8: And now you've got two million Sunnis who have been 772 00:42:40,400 --> 00:42:43,000 Speaker 8: let in fleeing the Asad regime, which are not going 773 00:42:43,080 --> 00:42:44,439 Speaker 8: back now that the regime is over. 774 00:42:44,840 --> 00:42:46,280 Speaker 3: These Christians are terrified. 775 00:42:46,880 --> 00:42:50,759 Speaker 8: I've met with some Christian leaders who evaded Syria a 776 00:42:50,840 --> 00:42:54,000 Speaker 8: few days ago for hours. I'm telling you, they're in hiding. 777 00:42:54,080 --> 00:42:57,960 Speaker 8: They're terrified. They think they are sunny tera cells. Throughout 778 00:42:58,040 --> 00:43:01,360 Speaker 8: the country. There's fifty thousand military that we trained, the 779 00:43:01,520 --> 00:43:06,920 Speaker 8: US trained mercenaries, Azaris Uzbek's Chechens on the border. 780 00:43:07,120 --> 00:43:08,960 Speaker 3: They're worried about what Galani is going to do. 781 00:43:09,440 --> 00:43:12,520 Speaker 8: And the big thing that always happens here is nobody 782 00:43:12,719 --> 00:43:15,399 Speaker 8: they talk about Israeli security, which is legitimate. They talk 783 00:43:15,480 --> 00:43:19,400 Speaker 8: about the new government in Syria. Nobody talks about the 784 00:43:19,480 --> 00:43:22,960 Speaker 8: welfare of the Christians. Nobody, even today, nobody is talking 785 00:43:23,000 --> 00:43:27,960 Speaker 8: about this. And yes, a Christian state then reported to 786 00:43:28,080 --> 00:43:31,759 Speaker 8: be being discussed in the White House and in the 787 00:43:31,760 --> 00:43:36,160 Speaker 8: Trump administration. We'll see where that takes us. But right now, 788 00:43:36,239 --> 00:43:38,200 Speaker 8: we need people to stand up for the Christians here. 789 00:43:38,280 --> 00:43:40,880 Speaker 8: This is where Jesus walked on these lands. The Christian 790 00:43:41,080 --> 00:43:45,080 Speaker 8: apostles went up through Lebanon, up through Syria and into 791 00:43:45,120 --> 00:43:48,200 Speaker 8: the Turkey and Armenia, and then during the Armenian genocide 792 00:43:48,200 --> 00:43:50,360 Speaker 8: they marched millions of them into the Syrian desert. So 793 00:43:50,440 --> 00:43:54,439 Speaker 8: there's a lot of Armenians here now. They're worried about 794 00:43:54,480 --> 00:43:58,960 Speaker 8: an October seventh style attack on Christians here in Lebanon. 795 00:43:59,120 --> 00:44:01,719 Speaker 8: And that's what I wish the Trump administration would focus on. 796 00:44:04,200 --> 00:44:08,800 Speaker 1: Well, look that the Syria, Jordan, parks of Lebanon, even Turkey, 797 00:44:08,920 --> 00:44:12,080 Speaker 1: that's the and head Egypt and there the Desert Fathers, 798 00:44:12,280 --> 00:44:14,799 Speaker 1: that's the you know, that's the beginning of the church. 799 00:44:14,880 --> 00:44:17,840 Speaker 1: That's first century Christianity. But aren't we past that? I mean, 800 00:44:17,920 --> 00:44:21,360 Speaker 1: has in the church essentially been obliterated since the beginning 801 00:44:21,440 --> 00:44:23,000 Speaker 1: of the twentieth century, Sir. 802 00:44:24,680 --> 00:44:27,880 Speaker 8: Well, in the Middle East, it has a rock. There 803 00:44:27,960 --> 00:44:31,560 Speaker 8: were millions there that have been essentially wiped out. We're 804 00:44:31,600 --> 00:44:35,400 Speaker 8: close to two million Syrians Christians which have mostly been destroyed. 805 00:44:35,480 --> 00:44:38,520 Speaker 8: I spoke with some people from the village where they 806 00:44:38,640 --> 00:44:42,440 Speaker 8: still speak Aramaic, which was the language of christ. I 807 00:44:42,480 --> 00:44:46,600 Speaker 8: mean it's being disappeared. And my point is we need 808 00:44:46,680 --> 00:44:49,759 Speaker 8: a Christian stronghold in the Middle East. I mean this 809 00:44:49,880 --> 00:44:53,360 Speaker 8: is where as you said, the faith started. But another 810 00:44:53,480 --> 00:44:56,360 Speaker 8: thing is they're looking to disarm Hasbella, which is you know, 811 00:44:56,640 --> 00:44:59,959 Speaker 8: probably for Tel Aviv, in order to remove that threat, 812 00:45:00,160 --> 00:45:03,760 Speaker 8: which I understand they're worry about that. But hes Blah 813 00:45:04,000 --> 00:45:08,359 Speaker 8: is only the only group that actually was taking care 814 00:45:08,560 --> 00:45:11,600 Speaker 8: and protecting the Christians in the syrianceivil war. So there's 815 00:45:11,600 --> 00:45:16,600 Speaker 8: a lot of intertwining I guess, allegiances here. And what 816 00:45:16,800 --> 00:45:20,279 Speaker 8: we need is the decision process to focus on the 817 00:45:20,400 --> 00:45:24,640 Speaker 8: Christian faith in the Middle East. And we're the last 818 00:45:24,680 --> 00:45:27,360 Speaker 8: time I checked, we're about seventy percent Christians still in 819 00:45:27,440 --> 00:45:32,000 Speaker 8: the US and she is control forty percent of the 820 00:45:32,120 --> 00:45:34,480 Speaker 8: Lebanese military. Are they going to disign his Bola? I 821 00:45:34,520 --> 00:45:36,799 Speaker 8: mean it's a big question. And will where will that lead? 822 00:45:36,840 --> 00:45:37,759 Speaker 8: Will it lead to a war? 823 00:45:38,000 --> 00:45:39,319 Speaker 3: I mean Tom Barrett's here now. 824 00:45:40,000 --> 00:45:42,320 Speaker 8: He made a comment today which lived up Lebanon, and 825 00:45:42,400 --> 00:45:47,040 Speaker 8: he called the journalists in the newsroom animals and par 826 00:45:47,200 --> 00:45:50,600 Speaker 8: for the region. He said, and the Middle East is 827 00:45:51,080 --> 00:45:56,640 Speaker 8: that the Twitter sphere is blowing up. So it's a mess, Steve, 828 00:45:56,760 --> 00:45:59,120 Speaker 8: and we need. My point is we focus on the 829 00:45:59,200 --> 00:46:02,120 Speaker 8: Christian people and then go from there will be a 830 00:46:02,160 --> 00:46:02,839 Speaker 8: lot better off. 831 00:46:04,960 --> 00:46:08,280 Speaker 1: But haven't we in our management right of the American 832 00:46:08,320 --> 00:46:12,640 Speaker 1: global Empire.

But for those 966 00:52:44,400 --> 00:52:47,040 Speaker 7: who don't know, creating is really amazing because it's one 967 00:52:47,080 --> 00:52:50,120 Speaker 7: of the most studied and effective nutrients available, and it 968 00:52:50,200 --> 00:52:52,759 Speaker 7: supports things like brain health, memory, as well as kind 969 00:52:52,800 --> 00:52:55,439 Speaker 7: of of function. And then also it helps your brain 970 00:52:55,560 --> 00:52:58,840 Speaker 7: produce more energy, which can do things like improve focus 971 00:52:58,960 --> 00:53:02,400 Speaker 7: and mental clarity, which just makes it great for anyone 972 00:53:02,480 --> 00:53:05,280 Speaker 7: looking to stay sharp and alert, especially if you're sleep 973 00:53:05,320 --> 00:53:10,560 Speaker 7: deprived or fatigued. Also, it's fantastic for physical performance, so 974 00:53:10,680 --> 00:53:14,920 Speaker 7: it's essentially helps your muscles produce more energy during high 975 00:53:14,920 --> 00:53:18,520 Speaker 7: intensity exercises, which means you can lift heavier, train harder, 976 00:53:18,960 --> 00:53:22,160 Speaker 7: and recover faster, which is pretty amazing. Now compared to 977 00:53:22,239 --> 00:53:25,760 Speaker 7: most other you know, brain or performance supplements on the market, 978 00:53:25,840 --> 00:53:28,520 Speaker 7: the issues with those is that once again we're typically 979 00:53:28,600 --> 00:53:32,839 Speaker 7: filled with you know, unnecessary fillers and preservatives, and then 980 00:53:32,880 --> 00:53:35,040 Speaker 7: also they have a lot of proprietary blends that are 981 00:53:35,080 --> 00:53:38,680 Speaker 7: pretty diluted or just not very effective at all, whereas 982 00:53:38,840 --> 00:53:42,040 Speaker 7: Croutine is just clean and trusted and really does give 983 00:53:42,040 --> 00:53:44,759 Speaker 7: your body and brain a natural boost in the form 984 00:53:45,200 --> 00:53:47,800 Speaker 7: that's easy to mix it into pretty much anything. You know, 985 00:53:47,960 --> 00:53:49,840 Speaker 7: it doesn't have a taste, so you can put in coffee, 986 00:53:49,880 --> 00:53:53,359 Speaker 7: you can put in water, smoothies, juices, wherever. But yeah, 987 00:53:53,400 --> 00:53:55,160 Speaker 7: once again, you know, it's really just a great product 988 00:53:55,160 --> 00:53:57,560 Speaker 7: for anyone looking to boost memory and focus while also 989 00:53:57,600 --> 00:54:01,200 Speaker 7: supporting muscle strength and recovery.
