1
00:00:00,320 --> 00:00:02,240
Speaker 1: Does it make sense to the president, says, the Ranians

2
00:00:02,279 --> 00:00:03,640
Speaker 1: want the US to keep bombing.

3
00:00:04,200 --> 00:00:08,400
Speaker 2: No, No, it sounds like lunacy to me. I certainly,

4
00:00:08,480 --> 00:00:11,840
Speaker 2: most Iran people at this point are not supporters of

5
00:00:11,840 --> 00:00:15,480
Speaker 2: the regime. They would like regime change, but they know

6
00:00:15,560 --> 00:00:17,480
Speaker 2: that this is not the way to go about doing it.

7
00:00:17,640 --> 00:00:21,120
Speaker 2: There's not going to be a popular uprising in Iran.

8
00:00:21,160 --> 00:00:24,239
Speaker 2: They tried that in January threety five, forty thousand people

9
00:00:24,239 --> 00:00:27,319
Speaker 2: are slaughtered as a result. This is not going to

10
00:00:27,360 --> 00:00:29,520
Speaker 2: bring about regime change in any way.

11
00:00:29,760 --> 00:00:31,920
Speaker 3: Do you see a reason for ran to make a

12
00:00:32,000 --> 00:00:33,000
Speaker 3: deal and open.

13
00:00:32,800 --> 00:00:35,640
Speaker 1: The straight up her moods before the President's deadline tomorrow?

14
00:00:35,680 --> 00:00:38,800
Speaker 1: And if not, how seriously do you take his threat

15
00:00:38,840 --> 00:00:40,159
Speaker 1: to destroy their infrastructure.

16
00:00:41,640 --> 00:00:44,120
Speaker 4: Yes, well, that's a great question, Anderson, and I think

17
00:00:44,120 --> 00:00:47,640
Speaker 4: it's really the question of the day. It's not yet

18
00:00:47,680 --> 00:00:50,720
Speaker 4: in Iran's interest to make that kind of deal, however,

19
00:00:50,920 --> 00:00:54,480
Speaker 4: given that their control of the Straits is the principal

20
00:00:54,600 --> 00:00:58,600
Speaker 4: leverage that they have for any kind of negotiation. And

21
00:00:58,840 --> 00:01:00,600
Speaker 4: you know, as I think we talked about last week,

22
00:01:00,680 --> 00:01:04,959
Speaker 4: their strategy is to survive, to prevent total surrender, to

23
00:01:05,000 --> 00:01:07,759
Speaker 4: preserve the Islamic regime, and to do that they have

24
00:01:07,840 --> 00:01:10,800
Speaker 4: to hang onto the straits. It is their principal leverage

25
00:01:11,000 --> 00:01:13,760
Speaker 4: in terms of the president's threats. I think they have

26
00:01:13,880 --> 00:01:18,000
Speaker 4: demonstrated an ability to absorb strikes at home while still

27
00:01:18,040 --> 00:01:20,280
Speaker 4: exacting a cost on the rest of the world. And

28
00:01:20,360 --> 00:01:22,880
Speaker 4: I think that's what those who make these kinds of

29
00:01:22,920 --> 00:01:26,360
Speaker 4: decisions in Iran are prepared to do for at least

30
00:01:26,400 --> 00:01:27,840
Speaker 4: several more weeks.

31
00:01:27,880 --> 00:01:30,520
Speaker 5: Not just the rhetoric about the Christian nationalist rhetoric.

32
00:01:30,600 --> 00:01:32,280
Speaker 6: People are believing what they're saying.

33
00:01:32,360 --> 00:01:33,840
Speaker 3: That part of the problem, without a doubt.

34
00:01:33,840 --> 00:01:36,120
Speaker 5: I mean, the reason why Trump is tapping into that

35
00:01:36,240 --> 00:01:38,160
Speaker 5: is because there's been there's been a lot of coverage

36
00:01:38,200 --> 00:01:40,600
Speaker 5: about the fractures within the right wing about over this war.

37
00:01:40,800 --> 00:01:43,240
Speaker 5: The one thing that has been growing in popularity and

38
00:01:43,280 --> 00:01:47,240
Speaker 5: support for this war is the evangelical communities, the Christian space,

39
00:01:47,600 --> 00:01:51,040
Speaker 5: all of that part of their media ecosystem is excited

40
00:01:51,080 --> 00:01:53,600
Speaker 5: about this. So not only are people believing it, but

41
00:01:53,600 --> 00:01:56,880
Speaker 5: they are getting impassioned because he's making these very explicit

42
00:01:56,960 --> 00:01:58,200
Speaker 5: calls to their religion.

43
00:01:58,560 --> 00:02:01,960
Speaker 7: Would it be a limited ground invasion the box were

44
00:02:01,960 --> 00:02:02,360
Speaker 7: already in.

45
00:02:02,400 --> 00:02:04,240
Speaker 6: You're being dropped into the world right now, what would

46
00:02:04,240 --> 00:02:04,920
Speaker 6: you tell them to do well.

47
00:02:04,960 --> 00:02:07,800
Speaker 7: I think it's really difficult given where we are, because

48
00:02:07,840 --> 00:02:10,640
Speaker 7: the military option at this point are very bad. A

49
00:02:10,720 --> 00:02:13,240
Speaker 7: ground operation, I think would only get us in deeper

50
00:02:13,440 --> 00:02:16,480
Speaker 7: cost American lives and not solve the problem. I think

51
00:02:16,520 --> 00:02:21,240
Speaker 7: continuing to degrade Iran's military capabilities and targeted operations is fine,

52
00:02:21,360 --> 00:02:23,440
Speaker 7: but it also is not going to open the strait,

53
00:02:23,680 --> 00:02:26,359
Speaker 7: and an attempt right now to do an escort operation,

54
00:02:27,680 --> 00:02:29,600
Speaker 7: the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff is told

55
00:02:29,600 --> 00:02:32,480
Speaker 7: the President basically that's not a very plausible option. So

56
00:02:32,639 --> 00:02:36,560
Speaker 7: this is a reason to get a diplomatic off ramp.

57
00:02:36,639 --> 00:02:37,799
Speaker 3: Now, my view is that.

58
00:02:37,760 --> 00:02:40,200
Speaker 7: A diplomatic offramp doesn't have to be a formal agreement

59
00:02:40,240 --> 00:02:42,919
Speaker 7: between the two sides. It could be something a little

60
00:02:42,919 --> 00:02:46,240
Speaker 7: more informal, a little more implicit, and I think that

61
00:02:46,320 --> 00:02:48,560
Speaker 7: the President and his team should be looking for that

62
00:02:48,680 --> 00:02:50,800
Speaker 7: because they should be trying to bring this war to

63
00:02:50,840 --> 00:02:51,200
Speaker 7: an end.

64
00:02:51,440 --> 00:02:52,799
Speaker 3: And I believe the Strait.

65
00:02:52,520 --> 00:02:54,920
Speaker 7: Could be reopened on the back of that, and we

66
00:02:54,960 --> 00:02:57,880
Speaker 7: could send a clear deterrent message to Iran. You mess

67
00:02:57,919 --> 00:02:59,680
Speaker 7: with the straight you mess with our neighbors, you mesags

68
00:02:59,720 --> 00:03:02,080
Speaker 7: with any one else, We retain a lot of capabilities

69
00:03:02,280 --> 00:03:02,959
Speaker 7: to cause.

70
00:03:02,720 --> 00:03:03,280
Speaker 8: Harm to you.

71
00:03:03,560 --> 00:03:05,720
Speaker 7: But an off ramp right now for the president I

72
00:03:05,800 --> 00:03:07,280
Speaker 7: think is by far the best option.

73
00:03:07,800 --> 00:03:10,080
Speaker 9: Right the breaking news this morning, we are just learning

74
00:03:10,120 --> 00:03:14,400
Speaker 9: of new reports of explosions on carg Island. This handles

75
00:03:14,440 --> 00:03:19,240
Speaker 9: almost all of Iran's oil exports, about ninety percent. If

76
00:03:19,280 --> 00:03:20,800
Speaker 9: you look at that map, it's actually yeah, you can

77
00:03:20,800 --> 00:03:22,440
Speaker 9: see it all the way up there at the top

78
00:03:23,160 --> 00:03:25,920
Speaker 9: of the Persian Gulf there, just off the coast of Iran.

79
00:03:26,200 --> 00:03:30,400
Speaker 9: President Trump has repeatedly threatened to bomb or seize the island,

80
00:03:30,480 --> 00:03:34,880
Speaker 9: and there have been strikes before. Oil prices have been

81
00:03:35,040 --> 00:03:38,520
Speaker 9: spiking over the last few minutes since the reports have

82
00:03:38,600 --> 00:03:42,280
Speaker 9: been coming in of these strikes, up about two to

83
00:03:42,320 --> 00:03:45,280
Speaker 9: three percent in the numbers that I've seen again now

84
00:03:45,400 --> 00:03:47,920
Speaker 9: now over three percent there in some cases.

85
00:03:48,040 --> 00:03:51,120
Speaker 10: The President has put out a new message on social media.

86
00:03:51,720 --> 00:03:53,720
Speaker 10: Can we put it up? Let's read it because it's

87
00:03:53,800 --> 00:03:58,760
Speaker 10: about the deadline tonight. He wrote, A whole civilization will

88
00:03:58,920 --> 00:04:02,800
Speaker 10: die tonight, never to be brought back again. I don't

89
00:04:02,800 --> 00:04:07,119
Speaker 10: want that to happen, but it probably will. However, now

90
00:04:07,160 --> 00:04:10,280
Speaker 10: that we have complete and total regime change, where different,

91
00:04:10,360 --> 00:04:18,120
Speaker 10: smarter and less radicalized minds prevail. Maybe something revolutionarily wonderful

92
00:04:18,240 --> 00:04:21,320
Speaker 10: can happen. Who knows. We will find out tonight one

93
00:04:21,320 --> 00:04:24,120
Speaker 10: of the most important moments in the long and complex

94
00:04:24,200 --> 00:04:27,159
Speaker 10: history of the world. Forty seven years of extortion, corruption

95
00:04:27,200 --> 00:04:30,960
Speaker 10: and death will finally end. God bless the great people

96
00:04:31,040 --> 00:04:31,920
Speaker 10: of Iran.

97
00:04:32,120 --> 00:04:34,560
Speaker 11: I think, if you're reading the tea leaves here, it

98
00:04:34,680 --> 00:04:38,720
Speaker 11: is just an incredibly confusing message from President Trump. On

99
00:04:38,720 --> 00:04:43,120
Speaker 11: one hand, he says that it probably will happen, referring

100
00:04:43,160 --> 00:04:47,000
Speaker 11: to potential strikes on Iran tonight, and at the same

101
00:04:47,040 --> 00:04:49,440
Speaker 11: time he says it's possible that there could still be

102
00:04:49,520 --> 00:04:52,560
Speaker 11: a diplomatic solution here. So if you're trying to interpret

103
00:04:52,640 --> 00:04:55,719
Speaker 11: what is going to happen just twelve hours from now,

104
00:04:55,839 --> 00:04:59,200
Speaker 11: I think it's still incredibly unclear. What is clear we

105
00:04:59,279 --> 00:05:02,640
Speaker 11: have learned, according to one US official, that the US

106
00:05:02,720 --> 00:05:07,320
Speaker 11: has conducted strikes this morning Eastern time on karg Island.

107
00:05:07,360 --> 00:05:10,839
Speaker 11: Of course, that is the key fuel hub in the

108
00:05:10,880 --> 00:05:14,800
Speaker 11: Persian Gulf. It handles most of Iran's oil exports. So

109
00:05:14,960 --> 00:05:18,919
Speaker 11: it's a very significant area and very significant that the

110
00:05:19,000 --> 00:05:23,400
Speaker 11: Trump administration is telegraphing that they are indeed serious about

111
00:05:23,480 --> 00:05:26,960
Speaker 11: proceeding with President Trump's threats if they don't reach a

112
00:05:27,040 --> 00:05:29,560
Speaker 11: deal to reopen the strait of horror news by that

113
00:05:29,600 --> 00:05:34,640
Speaker 11: eight o'clock Eastern time deadline. Diplomatic efforts are underway. Vice

114
00:05:34,680 --> 00:05:38,400
Speaker 11: President JD. Vance, who's currently traveling in Hungary, is leading

115
00:05:38,400 --> 00:05:41,919
Speaker 11: those efforts, along with Special Envoice Steve Whitkoff, Jared Kushner,

116
00:05:41,960 --> 00:05:45,200
Speaker 11: the President's son in law, Pakistan, Egypt, Turkey, all as

117
00:05:45,560 --> 00:05:49,200
Speaker 11: acting as key mediators there. But I asked the President

118
00:05:49,440 --> 00:05:52,760
Speaker 11: just yesterday whether he might be open to extending that

119
00:05:52,839 --> 00:05:56,719
Speaker 11: eight o'clock deadline if he felt like those talks were progressing.

120
00:05:56,760 --> 00:05:59,320
Speaker 11: He said he couldn't say just yet. So that is

121
00:05:59,680 --> 00:06:02,040
Speaker 11: certainly something to keep an eye out for. In this

122
00:06:02,240 --> 00:06:04,560
Speaker 11: truth social post that we are seeing from the President

123
00:06:04,680 --> 00:06:08,960
Speaker 11: doesn't really add much to whether or not definitively we

124
00:06:08,960 --> 00:06:11,560
Speaker 11: should expect those strikes to happen. The President saying that

125
00:06:11,600 --> 00:06:15,240
Speaker 11: he will bomb Iran to the stone ages, attacking their

126
00:06:15,279 --> 00:06:18,640
Speaker 11: critical infrastructure, things like power plants and bridges.

127
00:06:18,800 --> 00:06:22,760
Speaker 12: Sure that would obey the war crime that's being directed

128
00:06:22,760 --> 00:06:24,920
Speaker 12: by the President and the Secretary of Defense.

129
00:06:25,120 --> 00:06:27,360
Speaker 8: Would be committing their own war crime.

130
00:06:27,440 --> 00:06:28,360
Speaker 3: They would be illegal.

131
00:06:28,440 --> 00:06:33,920
Speaker 12: They would be essentially executing an illegal order, and that's

132
00:06:33,920 --> 00:06:37,160
Speaker 12: exactly what Senator Kelly and his colleagues talked about warned

133
00:06:37,240 --> 00:06:39,560
Speaker 12: us about a couple months ago. You know, we cannot

134
00:06:39,600 --> 00:06:43,000
Speaker 12: let that happen. It's terrible that it's gotten in the situation.

135
00:06:43,520 --> 00:06:46,960
Speaker 12: And the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff pushed back

136
00:06:47,000 --> 00:06:49,760
Speaker 12: a little bit on Donald Trump today, but he needs

137
00:06:49,760 --> 00:06:53,400
Speaker 12: to push back more because our soldiers that execute these

138
00:06:53,440 --> 00:06:56,800
Speaker 12: missions that are being directed by the president maybe one

139
00:06:56,880 --> 00:06:59,600
Speaker 12: day have to answer to the Hague or some other

140
00:06:59,640 --> 00:07:03,080
Speaker 12: internet tribunal figure.

141
00:07:03,120 --> 00:07:04,120
Speaker 3: The Numberg trials.

142
00:07:04,160 --> 00:07:08,640
Speaker 12: Okay, twelve senior leaders from the German military were executed,

143
00:07:08,680 --> 00:07:11,240
Speaker 12: We're hung as a result of their actions during World

144
00:07:11,240 --> 00:07:14,400
Speaker 12: War Two. Would we like to see that same thing

145
00:07:14,400 --> 00:07:15,920
Speaker 12: happen to our American soldiers?

146
00:07:15,960 --> 00:07:16,440
Speaker 6: Of course not.

147
00:07:16,920 --> 00:07:19,280
Speaker 12: Senior leaders need to understand that what they are being

148
00:07:19,960 --> 00:07:22,840
Speaker 12: directed to be to do, to execute it would be

149
00:07:22,880 --> 00:07:26,559
Speaker 12: an illegal order, and they cannot in good conscience allow

150
00:07:26,560 --> 00:07:30,120
Speaker 12: their soldiers to execute them.

151
00:07:30,520 --> 00:07:34,080
Speaker 8: This is the primal scream of a dying regime.

152
00:07:35,400 --> 00:07:38,640
Speaker 13: Pray for our enemies, because we're going to medieval on

153
00:07:38,720 --> 00:07:42,080
Speaker 13: these people. You're not going to free shot all these

154
00:07:42,120 --> 00:07:44,680
Speaker 13: networks lying about the people.

155
00:07:44,760 --> 00:07:46,760
Speaker 8: The people have had a belly full of it. I

156
00:07:46,800 --> 00:07:48,680
Speaker 8: know you don't like garing that. I know you tried

157
00:07:48,680 --> 00:07:49,920
Speaker 8: to do everything in the world to stop that, but

158
00:07:49,920 --> 00:07:51,880
Speaker 8: you're not going to stop it. It's going to happen.

159
00:07:52,000 --> 00:07:54,200
Speaker 3: And where do people like that go to share the

160
00:07:54,240 --> 00:07:56,720
Speaker 3: big line? Mega media?

161
00:07:56,880 --> 00:08:00,200
Speaker 14: I wish in my soul, I wish that any these

162
00:08:00,240 --> 00:08:02,120
Speaker 14: people at a conscience.

163
00:08:02,280 --> 00:08:05,480
Speaker 8: Ask yourself, what is my task and what is my purpose?

164
00:08:06,120 --> 00:08:10,280
Speaker 2: If that answer is to save my country, this country

165
00:08:10,560 --> 00:08:12,239
Speaker 2: will be saved.

166
00:08:12,320 --> 00:08:12,800
Speaker 10: War Room.

167
00:08:13,240 --> 00:08:15,360
Speaker 6: Here's your host, Stephen Kba.

168
00:08:21,520 --> 00:08:23,760
Speaker 13: It's Tuesday, seven April, in the year of Our Lord,

169
00:08:23,920 --> 00:08:30,480
Speaker 13: twenty twenty six. I think if the action lives up

170
00:08:30,520 --> 00:08:32,640
Speaker 13: to the rhetoric, this will be a day to remember.

171
00:08:32,679 --> 00:08:34,480
Speaker 13: So take your number two part sile out right now

172
00:08:34,520 --> 00:08:39,800
Speaker 13: and circle it. Action has already started on carg Island

173
00:08:40,760 --> 00:08:45,760
Speaker 13: with military targets, also the IDF the Israelis are hitting

174
00:08:45,840 --> 00:08:48,320
Speaker 13: I think already infrastructure targets. Captain Finel is going to

175
00:08:48,360 --> 00:08:50,440
Speaker 13: join us in a moment and walk.

176
00:08:50,240 --> 00:08:50,959
Speaker 8: Us through.

177
00:08:53,080 --> 00:08:55,200
Speaker 13: Systematically how this is going to be taken out of

178
00:08:55,200 --> 00:08:58,840
Speaker 13: the enemy as a system, and to break it down

179
00:08:59,040 --> 00:09:00,679
Speaker 13: that way of what's going to happen on what is

180
00:09:00,679 --> 00:09:03,600
Speaker 13: happening right now Nil mccave's the White House.

181
00:09:03,640 --> 00:09:05,560
Speaker 8: Bowling is going to join us, Jim Ricards.

182
00:09:05,600 --> 00:09:08,520
Speaker 13: So we've got for the next couple hours to break

183
00:09:08,520 --> 00:09:13,360
Speaker 13: all of this down in the how this impacts your life,

184
00:09:13,400 --> 00:09:16,200
Speaker 13: the community, your community's life, in the country's life.

185
00:09:17,000 --> 00:09:17,360
Speaker 8: Let's go.

186
00:09:17,480 --> 00:09:19,280
Speaker 13: I want to read first off too, And I think

187
00:09:19,280 --> 00:09:21,320
Speaker 13: the most pressing I said yesterday on the Bowling Show

188
00:09:21,360 --> 00:09:24,720
Speaker 13: before we start the five o'clock that if the President

189
00:09:24,800 --> 00:09:28,280
Speaker 13: can't find someone to negotiate with and not simply a deal,

190
00:09:28,320 --> 00:09:31,280
Speaker 13: but someone that could actually commit to a deal and

191
00:09:31,320 --> 00:09:35,600
Speaker 13: deliver a deal, He's told you what the alternative is.

192
00:09:36,720 --> 00:09:37,640
Speaker 8: Still with all this.

193
00:09:37,559 --> 00:09:39,240
Speaker 13: Happy talk about a deal and not a deal and

194
00:09:39,320 --> 00:09:41,959
Speaker 13: try to talk, we're not there's no face to face.

195
00:09:43,200 --> 00:09:46,160
Speaker 13: At least my understanding, there's no actual face to face

196
00:09:46,160 --> 00:09:51,040
Speaker 13: communication between anyone really on the American side and the

197
00:09:51,760 --> 00:09:57,640
Speaker 13: Iranian site. Now there may be some announcements, etc. To

198
00:09:57,679 --> 00:09:59,520
Speaker 13: come back and say, well this guy was starting that,

199
00:09:59,559 --> 00:10:02,679
Speaker 13: But right now now the president put out and I

200
00:10:02,720 --> 00:10:07,360
Speaker 13: think of all the true social sees put out, people

201
00:10:07,360 --> 00:10:10,360
Speaker 13: should take this very very seriously. A whole civilization will

202
00:10:10,400 --> 00:10:13,000
Speaker 13: die tonight, never to be brought back again. I don't

203
00:10:13,080 --> 00:10:16,920
Speaker 13: want that to happen, but it probably will. However, now

204
00:10:16,960 --> 00:10:20,120
Speaker 13: we have a complete and total regime change where different,

205
00:10:20,240 --> 00:10:27,719
Speaker 13: smarter and less radicalized minds prevail, maybe something revolutionary, revolutionarily

206
00:10:28,040 --> 00:10:29,120
Speaker 13: wonderful can happen.

207
00:10:29,160 --> 00:10:31,360
Speaker 8: Who knows. We will find out tonight.

208
00:10:31,840 --> 00:10:34,520
Speaker 13: One of the most important moments in the long and

209
00:10:34,600 --> 00:10:36,040
Speaker 13: complex history.

210
00:10:35,720 --> 00:10:36,280
Speaker 8: Of the world.

211
00:10:37,040 --> 00:10:39,640
Speaker 13: Let me repeat that from the president, one of the

212
00:10:39,679 --> 00:10:42,719
Speaker 13: most important moments in the long and complex history of

213
00:10:42,760 --> 00:10:45,840
Speaker 13: the world. Forty seven years of extortion, corruption.

214
00:10:45,679 --> 00:10:46,840
Speaker 8: Death will finally end.

215
00:10:46,880 --> 00:10:53,520
Speaker 13: God bless the great people of Iran, the Iranians at

216
00:10:53,600 --> 00:10:57,600
Speaker 13: least who we think are representing them. One of the

217
00:10:57,600 --> 00:11:00,640
Speaker 13: ones that the media has been putting up fonded this

218
00:11:00,800 --> 00:11:05,000
Speaker 13: moments ago. Right, we're coming on air, Iran responds after

219
00:11:05,040 --> 00:11:08,439
Speaker 13: President Trump says their entire civilization will die tonight.

220
00:11:09,320 --> 00:11:09,680
Speaker 3: Quote.

221
00:11:09,760 --> 00:11:13,720
Speaker 13: All diplomatic channels and indirect talks have been frozen after

222
00:11:13,800 --> 00:11:19,280
Speaker 13: President Trump's recent threats. Iron says, So there you have it,

223
00:11:19,640 --> 00:11:21,480
Speaker 13: at least as the best we can do. And I

224
00:11:21,480 --> 00:11:26,079
Speaker 13: said last night unless presidents not into games. Very specifically,

225
00:11:26,160 --> 00:11:29,520
Speaker 13: yesterday he said he gave them an additional seven days.

226
00:11:30,840 --> 00:11:32,959
Speaker 13: Then he extended it three days.

227
00:11:33,160 --> 00:11:33,880
Speaker 8: That got tomorrow.

228
00:11:33,960 --> 00:11:35,960
Speaker 13: He didn't want this action to take place on Easter Money,

229
00:11:36,000 --> 00:11:37,120
Speaker 13: so he gave him an additional day.

230
00:11:37,200 --> 00:11:40,160
Speaker 8: That's eleven days, and I don't think there's been any

231
00:11:40,520 --> 00:11:41,200
Speaker 8: real movements.

232
00:11:41,240 --> 00:11:45,760
Speaker 13: Supposedly they got a ten part counter but I might

233
00:11:45,840 --> 00:11:48,360
Speaker 13: add none of the points have really been leaked to

234
00:11:48,360 --> 00:11:51,760
Speaker 13: the media, and the ten point counteroffer has not been.

235
00:11:51,640 --> 00:11:52,760
Speaker 8: Given to the media.

236
00:11:52,800 --> 00:11:56,040
Speaker 13: To see how far the bid in the Ascar, which

237
00:11:56,200 --> 00:12:01,079
Speaker 13: appears to be at least right now unbridgeable. The time

238
00:12:01,240 --> 00:12:03,640
Speaker 13: is eight o'clock. Real Amerker's voice recovered all day. Let's

239
00:12:03,640 --> 00:12:07,440
Speaker 13: go to the White House, Neil McCabe. Neil, the White

240
00:12:07,440 --> 00:12:11,679
Speaker 13: House seems a very serious mode this morning. It's not

241
00:12:11,760 --> 00:12:15,800
Speaker 13: a It's very different than your sday with the celebration

242
00:12:15,880 --> 00:12:17,839
Speaker 13: of Easter money, with all the Monday with all the

243
00:12:17,920 --> 00:12:20,520
Speaker 13: kids there on the Easter egg hunt.

244
00:12:21,000 --> 00:12:25,640
Speaker 8: Put us in the room, sir. Yeah, I'll tell you this, Steve.

245
00:12:25,960 --> 00:12:30,120
Speaker 15: The President is basically an executive time all day except

246
00:12:30,160 --> 00:12:33,240
Speaker 15: for a three pm signing. But as you said, that

247
00:12:33,600 --> 00:12:37,200
Speaker 15: true social post this morning basically said it is on.

248
00:12:37,920 --> 00:12:41,200
Speaker 15: I would also refer you back to last night. There

249
00:12:41,200 --> 00:12:46,559
Speaker 15: were two attacks on US facilities diplomatic facilities in Iraq

250
00:12:46,920 --> 00:12:49,839
Speaker 15: by Iranian Back to militia and that may have been

251
00:12:49,880 --> 00:12:53,040
Speaker 15: the trigger where President Trump said, all right, that's it,

252
00:12:53,200 --> 00:12:54,199
Speaker 15: We're just going to do it.

253
00:12:58,440 --> 00:13:01,360
Speaker 13: So right now people are hunkered down there is how

254
00:13:01,400 --> 00:13:02,360
Speaker 13: much you just stick around there.

255
00:13:02,360 --> 00:13:03,720
Speaker 8: We're going to go to break there in a moment.

256
00:13:04,200 --> 00:13:08,440
Speaker 13: There is a one pm press conference unrelated to the war.

257
00:13:09,160 --> 00:13:11,240
Speaker 8: We're going to cover that because it's quite important. It's

258
00:13:11,240 --> 00:13:13,280
Speaker 8: going to be over at DOJ with the new.

259
00:13:13,200 --> 00:13:17,640
Speaker 13: Acting Attorney General, Todd blanche and it's specifically going to

260
00:13:17,679 --> 00:13:21,160
Speaker 13: be about this massive effort they're going to have on

261
00:13:21,280 --> 00:13:24,160
Speaker 13: anti fraud to make sure that we can get not

262
00:13:24,280 --> 00:13:27,480
Speaker 13: just the Somalian situation of Minnesota, but across the nation,

263
00:13:28,080 --> 00:13:30,880
Speaker 13: particularly in these blue states that's out of control as

264
00:13:30,880 --> 00:13:33,360
Speaker 13: their new initiative, but in the new head of the

265
00:13:33,400 --> 00:13:36,240
Speaker 13: Anti Fraud Division there. But I'm sure the media are

266
00:13:36,240 --> 00:13:40,599
Speaker 13: going to ask questions regarding everything. So we're going to

267
00:13:40,640 --> 00:13:43,480
Speaker 13: be there at one pm. Real America's Voice will cover it.

268
00:13:44,480 --> 00:13:48,440
Speaker 13: Hopefully Neil McKay will be over there to cover this also. Neil,

269
00:13:48,559 --> 00:13:50,200
Speaker 13: just stick around the White House. We're going to come

270
00:13:50,240 --> 00:13:52,680
Speaker 13: back to you. We're going to take a short commercial break.

271
00:13:52,760 --> 00:13:55,959
Speaker 13: We've were stacked this morning as we're going to break down.

272
00:13:56,480 --> 00:14:01,080
Speaker 13: I think it's look from the Iranians position, they're digging in.

273
00:14:01,200 --> 00:14:05,840
Speaker 13: I said yesterday, they feel they have the initiative and

274
00:14:05,880 --> 00:14:08,480
Speaker 13: as brutally as they're getting taken down, and I think

275
00:14:08,520 --> 00:14:11,839
Speaker 13: now we're moving to the mode of state collapse. They

276
00:14:11,840 --> 00:14:16,240
Speaker 13: think they're winning. This is why they're being so arrogant

277
00:14:16,280 --> 00:14:19,640
Speaker 13: and so tough. They're just blowing off President Trump. To

278
00:14:19,680 --> 00:14:22,800
Speaker 13: be brutally frank about it, there's not really a negotiation

279
00:14:22,920 --> 00:14:26,400
Speaker 13: going on. So President Trump's giving them a deadline. We're

280
00:14:26,440 --> 00:14:29,240
Speaker 13: about ten hours away from that deadline. We will cover

281
00:14:29,280 --> 00:14:33,720
Speaker 13: this wall to wall. As President Trump said, this may

282
00:14:33,760 --> 00:14:36,120
Speaker 13: be one of the most important days in world history,

283
00:14:36,160 --> 00:14:39,000
Speaker 13: the complex history of the world. Let's take President Trump

284
00:14:39,480 --> 00:14:42,360
Speaker 13: for his word. I know people are working NonStop to

285
00:14:42,400 --> 00:14:44,800
Speaker 13: see if this off ramp. But as of right now,

286
00:14:45,720 --> 00:14:48,200
Speaker 13: as the Bridge used to say in the Second World War,

287
00:14:48,400 --> 00:14:50,200
Speaker 13: the party is on sure.

288
00:14:50,240 --> 00:14:52,239
Speaker 8: Commercial break back in the worm in a moment.

289
00:15:00,320 --> 00:15:00,880
Speaker 3: War Room.

290
00:15:01,440 --> 00:15:03,160
Speaker 6: Use your host, Stephen k.

291
00:15:08,640 --> 00:15:12,720
Speaker 13: Okay, welcome back. We'll get back to McCabe of the

292
00:15:12,760 --> 00:15:15,440
Speaker 13: White House, Patrick Cave. Donald's going to join us in

293
00:15:15,520 --> 00:15:17,600
Speaker 13: the second hour with Jim Recers. I've asked Patrick to

294
00:15:17,600 --> 00:15:22,120
Speaker 13: come on to talk about major presidential decisions, because at

295
00:15:22,200 --> 00:15:24,000
Speaker 13: least if this was up to the rhetoric, that's a

296
00:15:24,000 --> 00:15:27,960
Speaker 13: pretty big decision. Let's get bowling in Eric the I

297
00:15:28,000 --> 00:15:31,520
Speaker 13: think the markets it was quite. It was quite yesterday

298
00:15:31,680 --> 00:15:34,480
Speaker 13: as in they were in disbelief. But I think people

299
00:15:34,520 --> 00:15:37,960
Speaker 13: are becoming believers, particularly we hit at least has been

300
00:15:38,000 --> 00:15:42,200
Speaker 13: reported additional military targets on carg Island. I think Jim

301
00:15:42,240 --> 00:15:44,040
Speaker 13: fan now cam Fane is gonna tell us that the

302
00:15:45,080 --> 00:15:48,720
Speaker 13: that the Israelis have already started their efforts on the

303
00:15:48,760 --> 00:15:52,000
Speaker 13: infrastructure side. It looks like, so what are the markets

304
00:15:52,000 --> 00:15:52,480
Speaker 13: telling us?

305
00:15:53,200 --> 00:15:55,800
Speaker 14: Yeah, Marcus are telling us they heard exactly what Trump

306
00:15:55,880 --> 00:15:59,520
Speaker 14: said this morning. There's gonna only shell out them, and

307
00:16:00,600 --> 00:16:04,920
Speaker 14: they're believing it. I'll just tell you the WTI crewed

308
00:16:04,960 --> 00:16:07,640
Speaker 14: the West Texas enemy our crew benchmarked to many many

309
00:16:07,640 --> 00:16:09,520
Speaker 14: crews around the world, just hit one hundred and seventeen

310
00:16:09,560 --> 00:16:12,600
Speaker 14: dollars a barrel, highest price. It's only been higher twice

311
00:16:12,880 --> 00:16:16,360
Speaker 14: in our history. Biden headed at one thirty nine for

312
00:16:16,440 --> 00:16:20,320
Speaker 14: a brief moment, and George Bush during his late in

313
00:16:20,720 --> 00:16:22,920
Speaker 14: his second term one hundred and fifty dollars a barrel.

314
00:16:22,920 --> 00:16:23,720
Speaker 3: It's a record high there.

315
00:16:23,800 --> 00:16:27,320
Speaker 14: So this is the third highest ever and if the

316
00:16:27,440 --> 00:16:29,760
Speaker 14: things proceed as they look like they're going to, you

317
00:16:29,760 --> 00:16:33,080
Speaker 14: may see the same types of numbers, or maybe even higher.

318
00:16:33,080 --> 00:16:35,200
Speaker 14: The problem is, Steve, one of the things that the

319
00:16:35,240 --> 00:16:40,960
Speaker 14: Iranians in that ten point I guess reconciliation package, one

320
00:16:41,000 --> 00:16:42,240
Speaker 14: of them, I think was a.

321
00:16:42,160 --> 00:16:42,880
Speaker 3: Big non start.

322
00:16:42,960 --> 00:16:46,320
Speaker 14: First of all, Trump administration official who saw it told

323
00:16:46,480 --> 00:16:49,880
Speaker 14: Axios it was a maximalist plan, not a minimalist. But

324
00:16:49,960 --> 00:16:51,200
Speaker 14: one of the things that I think would be a

325
00:16:51,240 --> 00:16:55,080
Speaker 14: deal breaker is that they were asking for also having

326
00:16:55,080 --> 00:16:59,160
Speaker 14: some sort of remained in control of the straight up hormones.

327
00:16:59,240 --> 00:17:01,080
Speaker 3: They wanted reparations.

328
00:17:01,120 --> 00:17:03,560
Speaker 14: They won't be paid for the damage that was inflicted

329
00:17:03,600 --> 00:17:06,120
Speaker 14: on their country, and that, Steve, that could be hundreds

330
00:17:06,119 --> 00:17:08,080
Speaker 14: of billions of dollars, and I think that would be

331
00:17:08,119 --> 00:17:11,919
Speaker 14: a complete non starter for the American people and Donald Trump.

332
00:17:12,000 --> 00:17:15,200
Speaker 14: So a lot going on higher, higher, higher oil prices,

333
00:17:15,359 --> 00:17:19,040
Speaker 14: equities are are, you know, obviously drifting lower. I tell

334
00:17:19,040 --> 00:17:21,920
Speaker 14: you though, I just just hold out because Trump has

335
00:17:21,960 --> 00:17:25,280
Speaker 14: a way of unleashing hell, showing them he needed a

336
00:17:25,320 --> 00:17:27,920
Speaker 14: business and then somehow, you know, like I said yesterday,

337
00:17:28,080 --> 00:17:30,600
Speaker 14: this is the art of war that combined with the

338
00:17:30,680 --> 00:17:33,320
Speaker 14: art of the deal, and I have hope that there's

339
00:17:33,359 --> 00:17:36,159
Speaker 14: a there's an off ramp somewhere that he's holding a

340
00:17:36,160 --> 00:17:38,000
Speaker 14: Trump card, so speaking in his pocket.

341
00:17:41,440 --> 00:17:45,960
Speaker 13: Let's go back to that maximalist strategy. President Trump put

342
00:17:45,960 --> 00:17:49,880
Speaker 13: out a true social clearly he had thought about, right.

343
00:17:50,320 --> 00:17:55,639
Speaker 13: It was a very tight wasn't loose. It was tight

344
00:17:56,480 --> 00:17:58,560
Speaker 13: about this is going to be the end of your civilization,

345
00:17:59,359 --> 00:18:04,560
Speaker 13: and and this on this stage, when you're talking about

346
00:18:04,680 --> 00:18:08,119
Speaker 13: things like this, you can't bluff, right, You can't bluff.

347
00:18:08,640 --> 00:18:12,600
Speaker 13: So President Trump when he says I'm taking down your civilization,

348
00:18:13,640 --> 00:18:15,719
Speaker 13: and these guys come back and we don't know all

349
00:18:15,760 --> 00:18:18,199
Speaker 13: the ten points, but it's been referred to as a

350
00:18:18,240 --> 00:18:19,840
Speaker 13: maximalist right.

351
00:18:20,000 --> 00:18:21,520
Speaker 8: I think one of the reason I'm not releasing it.

352
00:18:21,640 --> 00:18:22,880
Speaker 8: They did the even.

353
00:18:22,720 --> 00:18:25,199
Speaker 13: Administration doesn't want to show how big the gap is.

354
00:18:25,240 --> 00:18:29,000
Speaker 13: Although we're not in a room negotiating this. When you

355
00:18:29,040 --> 00:18:32,800
Speaker 13: have two maximalist positions, one of the reasons you have it,

356
00:18:33,000 --> 00:18:38,879
Speaker 13: eric is both sides think they're winning. Both sides think

357
00:18:38,920 --> 00:18:41,600
Speaker 13: they've got as President Trump say that they have no cards.

358
00:18:42,119 --> 00:18:45,600
Speaker 13: I hold all the cards, and I think we're going

359
00:18:45,680 --> 00:18:50,880
Speaker 13: And I think Captain Fanel will support this in his analysis,

360
00:18:50,920 --> 00:18:54,920
Speaker 13: we're going from the declawing, defanging, degradation of their military

361
00:18:55,359 --> 00:18:57,800
Speaker 13: now to something I've been talked about, what even the

362
00:18:57,840 --> 00:19:01,320
Speaker 13: Israelis were talking about initially, which is total state collapse.

363
00:19:02,040 --> 00:19:05,680
Speaker 13: That's what we're going after the infrastructure and the Iranians,

364
00:19:06,600 --> 00:19:08,120
Speaker 13: whether they're correct.

365
00:19:07,800 --> 00:19:11,000
Speaker 8: Or not, is not the point in their mind.

366
00:19:11,200 --> 00:19:13,520
Speaker 13: They think they've shifted the center of gravity of this

367
00:19:13,600 --> 00:19:16,479
Speaker 13: war to the Gulf. They think they control the straits

368
00:19:16,520 --> 00:19:19,400
Speaker 13: or removes. They haven't seen the United States Navy escorting

369
00:19:19,400 --> 00:19:23,320
Speaker 13: ships in there. They haven't seen Special Forces raids yet

370
00:19:23,359 --> 00:19:25,679
Speaker 13: to try to beat them back. They've been bombed with

371
00:19:25,720 --> 00:19:29,119
Speaker 13: two thousand pound bombs. But they think they have the initiative,

372
00:19:29,560 --> 00:19:31,480
Speaker 13: not just they're winning, they think they have the initiatives

373
00:19:31,480 --> 00:19:33,960
Speaker 13: in this war right now. That is not a great

374
00:19:34,640 --> 00:19:38,840
Speaker 13: set of facts to actually get into a table and

375
00:19:38,880 --> 00:19:41,000
Speaker 13: try to negotiate a deal. The sides are just too

376
00:19:41,000 --> 00:19:43,680
Speaker 13: far apart, not just far apart on what they're asking,

377
00:19:44,080 --> 00:19:47,120
Speaker 13: on what their mentality is. The United States of America

378
00:19:47,280 --> 00:19:50,320
Speaker 13: and the Commander in chief and the military are absolutely

379
00:19:50,320 --> 00:19:54,040
Speaker 13: convinced that the plan has worked to date. Now they're

380
00:19:54,040 --> 00:20:00,280
Speaker 13: going to drop the hammer even harder and the enemy leaves.

381
00:20:00,280 --> 00:20:01,360
Speaker 8: They've gone asymmetric.

382
00:20:01,480 --> 00:20:04,160
Speaker 13: I don't think they're debating that they've degraded their military,

383
00:20:04,160 --> 00:20:07,240
Speaker 13: but they're going asymmetric. And one of the tails there

384
00:20:07,400 --> 00:20:10,679
Speaker 13: is West Texas. I mean, why would West Texas Intermediate,

385
00:20:10,720 --> 00:20:14,159
Speaker 13: which is the price of the oil here, be it

386
00:20:14,200 --> 00:20:15,840
Speaker 13: one hundred and seventeen dollars.

387
00:20:15,840 --> 00:20:17,879
Speaker 8: I think it's higher than Brent crude.

388
00:20:18,440 --> 00:20:21,240
Speaker 13: Right Why are people panicking and at least bidding that

389
00:20:21,400 --> 00:20:24,160
Speaker 13: up right now when that's not directly related to what's

390
00:20:24,200 --> 00:20:25,920
Speaker 13: coming out of the straight or horror moves.

391
00:20:26,520 --> 00:20:27,280
Speaker 3: Well, a couple of things.

392
00:20:28,480 --> 00:20:32,159
Speaker 14: The price of West Texas is one seventeen, approaching a record.

393
00:20:32,160 --> 00:20:35,320
Speaker 14: But the Brent crew that we see on CNBC et

394
00:20:35,400 --> 00:20:37,720
Speaker 14: cetera for a June delivery, what you're looking at.

395
00:20:37,680 --> 00:20:39,199
Speaker 3: West Texas is for a May delivery.

396
00:20:39,200 --> 00:20:41,560
Speaker 14: If you apples to apples with the Brent, will be

397
00:20:41,600 --> 00:20:44,720
Speaker 14: a spot price for Brent, and that's roughly almost one

398
00:20:44,800 --> 00:20:46,880
Speaker 14: hundred and forty dollars a barrel, But they don't trade

399
00:20:46,880 --> 00:20:50,160
Speaker 14: it actively like that. That's immediate use right now. Why

400
00:20:50,280 --> 00:20:55,040
Speaker 14: is West Texas going up? Because yes, it is more

401
00:20:55,440 --> 00:20:59,000
Speaker 14: benchmarked in North America and maybe some European countries, but

402
00:20:59,040 --> 00:21:00,199
Speaker 14: it's still oil.

403
00:21:00,240 --> 00:21:01,440
Speaker 3: Like money, is fungible.

404
00:21:01,720 --> 00:21:05,080
Speaker 14: It's not perfectly fungible like money, but it's fungible in

405
00:21:05,119 --> 00:21:08,760
Speaker 14: that if Brent COEs one hundred and two hundred dollars

406
00:21:08,760 --> 00:21:10,840
Speaker 14: a barrel, let's say, and West Texas stays at one

407
00:21:10,880 --> 00:21:12,639
Speaker 14: point twenty, there will be a lot of people who

408
00:21:12,680 --> 00:21:15,159
Speaker 14: are switching their refineries over and stay there, and they

409
00:21:15,160 --> 00:21:16,800
Speaker 14: believe it will stay there for a long time. They'll

410
00:21:16,800 --> 00:21:21,159
Speaker 14: switch the refineries over because the transportation cost makes it

411
00:21:21,200 --> 00:21:22,399
Speaker 14: economic to do so.

412
00:21:22,400 --> 00:21:24,639
Speaker 3: So it's tough to do. You need a lot. But

413
00:21:24,720 --> 00:21:27,520
Speaker 3: that's why a dislocation.

414
00:21:26,960 --> 00:21:30,880
Speaker 14: In one area in the global oil market brings all

415
00:21:30,880 --> 00:21:35,320
Speaker 14: oil prices up, because at some point the dislocation and

416
00:21:35,440 --> 00:21:39,159
Speaker 14: price differential makes sense to pay the extra money to

417
00:21:39,240 --> 00:21:41,200
Speaker 14: transport it around this horn.

418
00:21:41,040 --> 00:21:42,400
Speaker 3: Of Africa or wherever it may have to go.

419
00:21:43,240 --> 00:21:46,159
Speaker 14: But the one thing I think on what your first

420
00:21:46,200 --> 00:21:50,000
Speaker 14: point was, I'm people aren't going to like this and

421
00:21:50,040 --> 00:21:53,679
Speaker 14: this is really bad for me and for stock accounts everywhere.

422
00:21:53,720 --> 00:21:56,920
Speaker 3: But at this point, Steve, yeah, I think both sides.

423
00:21:57,080 --> 00:21:57,439
Speaker 3: I don't know.

424
00:21:57,440 --> 00:22:01,399
Speaker 14: If Iran thinks they're winning, they'll they like to thought

425
00:22:01,400 --> 00:22:04,280
Speaker 14: of being martyrs and fight to the death, and they

426
00:22:04,320 --> 00:22:06,800
Speaker 14: may be on that mentality right now, but at this

427
00:22:06,920 --> 00:22:11,080
Speaker 14: point a forty five days ceasefire doesn't make a lot

428
00:22:11,080 --> 00:22:11,440
Speaker 14: of sense.

429
00:22:11,800 --> 00:22:12,840
Speaker 3: Markets for take a breather.

430
00:22:13,000 --> 00:22:14,800
Speaker 14: Oil will go down and Stockholm will go up, but

431
00:22:15,040 --> 00:22:17,520
Speaker 14: it doesn't fix any of the problems. And I don't

432
00:22:17,520 --> 00:22:19,159
Speaker 14: think the Rudians are ever going to come around to

433
00:22:19,160 --> 00:22:21,160
Speaker 14: where Trump needs them or wants them to be so

434
00:22:21,560 --> 00:22:24,440
Speaker 14: at this point unless they come hat in hand in

435
00:22:24,480 --> 00:22:27,760
Speaker 14: the next eight hours or so nine hours, I think

436
00:22:27,800 --> 00:22:30,040
Speaker 14: the best move is just unleash hell on them and

437
00:22:30,760 --> 00:22:31,520
Speaker 14: follow through with it.

438
00:22:33,680 --> 00:22:36,439
Speaker 13: When you say unleash hell, the President has bifurcated this

439
00:22:36,680 --> 00:22:43,160
Speaker 13: as infrastructure electrical grid what they need for their day

440
00:22:43,200 --> 00:22:48,480
Speaker 13: to day and oil infrastructure in their old industry. Carg

441
00:22:48,560 --> 00:22:51,840
Speaker 13: Island hit this morning, at least as I can parse it.

442
00:22:52,400 --> 00:22:55,439
Speaker 13: Focus additionally, and military targets, and I clearly sent a

443
00:22:55,440 --> 00:22:58,840
Speaker 13: message that carg Island is on the punch list, but

444
00:22:58,920 --> 00:23:00,000
Speaker 13: they hit military target.

445
00:23:00,359 --> 00:23:03,840
Speaker 8: What do you think happens if this goes broader.

446
00:23:03,480 --> 00:23:05,960
Speaker 13: Than just the electoral infrastructure and he actually starts to

447
00:23:06,000 --> 00:23:12,640
Speaker 13: hit the Iranian infrastructure of all the complexity of their

448
00:23:12,640 --> 00:23:15,000
Speaker 13: only gas industry, Sir, I.

449
00:23:15,040 --> 00:23:16,640
Speaker 3: Think he's well on his way.

450
00:23:16,680 --> 00:23:19,760
Speaker 14: When you take out the power if they you need

451
00:23:19,880 --> 00:23:23,080
Speaker 14: power and energy to transport oil. It's our only commodity,

452
00:23:23,119 --> 00:23:28,800
Speaker 14: that's our only economic input. So he'll effectively create stituen

453
00:23:29,119 --> 00:23:32,000
Speaker 14: and take the bridges out so they can't transport it

454
00:23:32,240 --> 00:23:35,640
Speaker 14: via truck or train anymore without the bridges. He's he's

455
00:23:35,680 --> 00:23:37,439
Speaker 14: going to cripple them. He's going to bring the country

456
00:23:37,440 --> 00:23:39,320
Speaker 14: to their knees. And maybe that's what it's going to

457
00:23:39,359 --> 00:23:42,040
Speaker 14: take to get them to the bargaining table, but they're

458
00:23:42,080 --> 00:23:43,320
Speaker 14: going to feel hell.

459
00:23:43,359 --> 00:23:45,320
Speaker 3: For quite a while with with just this.

460
00:23:45,480 --> 00:23:48,919
Speaker 14: If he escalates it to you know, media, which I

461
00:23:48,960 --> 00:23:51,239
Speaker 14: have recommended in the past, go but I want I

462
00:23:51,280 --> 00:23:53,400
Speaker 14: was hoping to do it without a five or six

463
00:23:53,440 --> 00:23:57,560
Speaker 14: hour ultimatum. I think they could have system systemically done

464
00:23:57,560 --> 00:24:01,080
Speaker 14: this thing where the Iranians say, oh, okay, enough is enough.

465
00:24:01,119 --> 00:24:03,120
Speaker 14: But he wants to He wants to hit him hard

466
00:24:03,160 --> 00:24:06,320
Speaker 14: and hit him fast. And you know, again, I've.

467
00:24:06,000 --> 00:24:09,120
Speaker 3: Learned, I'm old enough to have learned that it's.

468
00:24:08,920 --> 00:24:12,880
Speaker 14: Not wise to doubt Trump's plan because sometimes you don't

469
00:24:12,920 --> 00:24:15,520
Speaker 14: see what the ultimate plan is, but he seems to

470
00:24:15,560 --> 00:24:17,520
Speaker 14: always have one that works.

471
00:24:18,200 --> 00:24:19,720
Speaker 3: This may be painful first though.

472
00:24:22,720 --> 00:24:25,720
Speaker 13: Eric, any closing observations, We'll let you get back to work.

473
00:24:25,800 --> 00:24:27,320
Speaker 13: See you on the four o'clock show. We'll do a

474
00:24:27,359 --> 00:24:31,840
Speaker 13: handover if I if I'm organized enough in the five.

475
00:24:32,160 --> 00:24:35,680
Speaker 13: I love doing the handover with you, but this could

476
00:24:35,680 --> 00:24:36,639
Speaker 13: be one of those days.

477
00:24:36,720 --> 00:24:38,919
Speaker 8: What any closing thoughts for you?

478
00:24:39,240 --> 00:24:42,359
Speaker 14: For you, Bounce, I think today is a day of

479
00:24:42,920 --> 00:24:45,119
Speaker 14: holding your breath, so to speak. It certainly in the

480
00:24:45,160 --> 00:24:49,880
Speaker 14: oil market, the financial markets, in the humanitarian market, quote

481
00:24:49,920 --> 00:24:55,040
Speaker 14: unquote markets as well. All eyes are looking straight at

482
00:24:55,119 --> 00:24:58,399
Speaker 14: eight o'clock. I just hope it's not another delay, because

483
00:24:58,400 --> 00:25:02,080
Speaker 14: it's just it's like, let's rip the freaking band aid

484
00:25:02,119 --> 00:25:06,000
Speaker 14: off already and do it and deal with the fallout now,

485
00:25:06,760 --> 00:25:10,080
Speaker 14: or or don't do it and deal with you know, backtracking.

486
00:25:10,240 --> 00:25:12,080
Speaker 14: Trump doesn't seem the type to want to do that,

487
00:25:12,520 --> 00:25:14,119
Speaker 14: and at this point, I don't think smart way to

488
00:25:14,200 --> 00:25:17,040
Speaker 14: do it either. That would give the Uranians, embolden the Ranians.

489
00:25:17,080 --> 00:25:18,720
Speaker 14: I think that they can do this again and again.

490
00:25:18,840 --> 00:25:22,520
Speaker 14: So you know, I'm racing for some higher prices and

491
00:25:22,600 --> 00:25:28,080
Speaker 14: some lower equity prices, lower valuations on assets, and and

492
00:25:28,320 --> 00:25:32,040
Speaker 14: a lot higher prices on food and everything. That's going

493
00:25:32,080 --> 00:25:34,680
Speaker 14: to happen, and then hopefully again, Steve, I've said this

494
00:25:34,760 --> 00:25:37,200
Speaker 14: a long time, hopefully he gets this over real fast

495
00:25:37,280 --> 00:25:40,080
Speaker 14: and then just really really pumps the crap out of

496
00:25:40,160 --> 00:25:42,720
Speaker 14: oil and gets that price back down to a level

497
00:25:42,760 --> 00:25:45,240
Speaker 14: that it doesn't hurt us in the midterms mid terms.

498
00:25:45,560 --> 00:25:47,520
Speaker 14: I keep circling it. It's it's going to be a thing.

499
00:25:47,640 --> 00:25:51,360
Speaker 14: People are saying, Oh, this is bigger than midterms. Tell

500
00:25:51,400 --> 00:25:54,200
Speaker 14: me that November seventh, when when you know, if there's

501
00:25:54,240 --> 00:25:56,840
Speaker 14: a sweep, a blue wave and we're going back to

502
00:25:56,880 --> 00:25:59,760
Speaker 14: the days of vocism and you know, nothing getting done

503
00:25:59,800 --> 00:26:03,320
Speaker 14: and the liberal progressives just have their way in this country.

504
00:26:03,880 --> 00:26:04,520
Speaker 3: Not pretty.

505
00:26:04,760 --> 00:26:09,440
Speaker 8: For me, it'll be so much worse than that.

506
00:26:10,359 --> 00:26:13,440
Speaker 13: It'll be it'll be the moral equivalent what President Trump

507
00:26:14,040 --> 00:26:17,480
Speaker 13: is warning the the Iranians about right now. The Democrats

508
00:26:17,560 --> 00:26:21,280
Speaker 13: will immediately impeach him, but that won't come for a

509
00:26:21,359 --> 00:26:23,320
Speaker 13: year and a half, and every day will be hell.

510
00:26:23,400 --> 00:26:25,000
Speaker 8: They'll ring hell down to the White.

511
00:26:24,840 --> 00:26:28,919
Speaker 13: House because these guys are Marxist, Jiahattist, out of control. Eric,

516
00:26:38,280 --> 00:26:41,040
Speaker 13: Bannon at nine eight nine eight nine eight get the

517
00:26:41,119 --> 00:26:44,480
Speaker 13: ultimate guide for investing in gold and precious metals in

518
00:26:44,560 --> 00:26:45,879
Speaker 13: the Age of Trump.

519
00:26:47,320 --> 00:26:49,720
Speaker 8: You don't think it's an age of Trump. Read his

520
00:26:50,320 --> 00:26:52,760
Speaker 8: true social posts this morning.

521
00:26:53,880 --> 00:26:55,520
Speaker 13: So the President United States says, one of the most

522
00:26:55,560 --> 00:26:57,560
Speaker 13: important days in the history of the world.

523
00:26:58,040 --> 00:26:58,800
Speaker 8: Short great.

524
00:27:01,280 --> 00:27:03,240
Speaker 6: Use your host, Stephen k Ma.

525
00:27:08,359 --> 00:27:13,280
Speaker 13: Welcome back. The The Iranians are ratcheting up the rhetoric. Also,

526
00:27:13,400 --> 00:27:16,960
Speaker 13: they're just breaking news Iran and I've given this that

527
00:27:17,080 --> 00:27:19,199
Speaker 13: Jim Fanel will talk about a camp. Fanel joins us.

528
00:27:19,520 --> 00:27:23,320
Speaker 13: They have threatened, they said they're going to close. As

529
00:27:23,359 --> 00:27:26,800
Speaker 13: I've warned about, the Red Sea is just as important

530
00:27:26,880 --> 00:27:29,919
Speaker 13: here as the as the straight or horror moves. They

531
00:27:29,960 --> 00:27:36,640
Speaker 13: have threatened to basically shut down the entire Saudi Arabian

532
00:27:36,680 --> 00:27:41,000
Speaker 13: Peninsula and particularly the strait that leads into the Red

533
00:27:41,080 --> 00:27:42,680
Speaker 13: Sea from.

534
00:27:44,440 --> 00:27:46,280
Speaker 8: I guess it's from the North Arabians, not the North

535
00:27:46,320 --> 00:27:46,719
Speaker 8: Abia ce.

536
00:27:46,720 --> 00:27:50,320
Speaker 13: I guess the Arabian Sea, which has always been a

537
00:27:50,359 --> 00:27:53,119
Speaker 13: choke point with their partners to Hutis. Captain fan Now,

538
00:27:53,119 --> 00:27:54,520
Speaker 13: I want to step back before we get into the

539
00:27:54,680 --> 00:27:56,760
Speaker 13: details of going back and forth in this rhetoric and

540
00:27:56,800 --> 00:28:00,600
Speaker 13: what's happening now. I think it's very instructive because you been, Hey,

541
00:28:00,800 --> 00:28:02,960
Speaker 13: this is the plan, this is what we're doing, this

542
00:28:03,160 --> 00:28:05,000
Speaker 13: is how we're taking it down. Every day they get

543
00:28:05,040 --> 00:28:10,040
Speaker 13: to greater more this whole concept of the enemy as

544
00:28:10,080 --> 00:28:13,359
Speaker 13: a system, the enemy as a system, because this is

545
00:28:13,359 --> 00:28:17,480
Speaker 13: the way military planners targeteers like yourself, others are looking

546
00:28:17,520 --> 00:28:19,760
Speaker 13: at this, and I think it's quite important today.

547
00:28:21,280 --> 00:28:24,480
Speaker 8: For us to separate out the rhetoric from the reality.

548
00:28:25,280 --> 00:28:26,879
Speaker 8: And right now you have.

549
00:28:27,040 --> 00:28:30,440
Speaker 13: Two very serious sets of people, one in Sencom and

550
00:28:30,520 --> 00:28:36,080
Speaker 13: the Joint Command under General Kine, that are moving towards

551
00:28:36,320 --> 00:28:40,520
Speaker 13: a potentially major escalation a night. But you also have

552
00:28:40,600 --> 00:28:46,000
Speaker 13: an enemy who I think believes they're winning. They've gone

553
00:28:46,040 --> 00:28:49,720
Speaker 13: asymmetric and they've got you know, they feel they've got

554
00:28:49,880 --> 00:28:52,840
Speaker 13: cards to play. Let's start with that concept. First off,

555
00:28:52,920 --> 00:28:55,160
Speaker 13: the enemy is a system. I know you've got a graph,

556
00:28:55,200 --> 00:28:56,880
Speaker 13: but walk the audience through. I want to get this

557
00:28:57,080 --> 00:29:01,320
Speaker 13: construct in people's minds as they see all this activity

558
00:29:01,360 --> 00:29:05,280
Speaker 13: and what appears to be chaos coming through the next

559
00:29:05,320 --> 00:29:08,720
Speaker 13: couple of days. Potentially that we help folks look through

560
00:29:08,760 --> 00:29:09,840
Speaker 13: the Fogle War.

561
00:29:10,120 --> 00:29:15,840
Speaker 16: Sir, Yes, Steve, I think I would you know, Obviously

562
00:29:15,920 --> 00:29:17,800
Speaker 16: we're all following this, and I've been talking with the

563
00:29:17,960 --> 00:29:22,080
Speaker 16: colleagues of mine, and retired Navy admiral who is involved

564
00:29:22,120 --> 00:29:25,760
Speaker 16: with the war against Kosovo said after the conflict, he

565
00:29:25,840 --> 00:29:29,360
Speaker 16: talked of the Slovenian director of Intelligence and asked him

566
00:29:29,360 --> 00:29:34,240
Speaker 16: why did Melosovich give up? And the Soviet trained general said, well,

567
00:29:34,280 --> 00:29:38,640
Speaker 16: you finally started impacting those forces that supported Melosovich, the

568
00:29:38,840 --> 00:29:42,800
Speaker 16: army and is against his policy, and you started cutting

569
00:29:43,040 --> 00:29:44,520
Speaker 16: off his access to funds.

570
00:29:45,120 --> 00:29:47,160
Speaker 17: So this is just a.

571
00:29:47,200 --> 00:29:50,080
Speaker 16: Reflection of this debate that you've just highlighted, which is

572
00:29:50,760 --> 00:29:54,320
Speaker 16: ken airpower alone and that this is really the canard

573
00:29:54,480 --> 00:29:57,480
Speaker 16: is it's not ever argued alone, but what is the

574
00:29:57,600 --> 00:30:02,000
Speaker 16: value of systematic approach to target an adversary? So if

575
00:30:02,040 --> 00:30:05,000
Speaker 16: you go to the graphic that I provided a camera there,

576
00:30:05,080 --> 00:30:10,520
Speaker 16: please back in nineteen ninety five, Colonel John Warden, United

577
00:30:10,560 --> 00:30:12,480
Speaker 16: States Air Force, who had served from.

578
00:30:12,440 --> 00:30:14,600
Speaker 17: Nineteen sixty five until nineteen ninety.

579
00:30:14,440 --> 00:30:18,720
Speaker 16: Five was a Ford Air controller flying Broncos in the

580
00:30:18,840 --> 00:30:24,920
Speaker 16: Vietnam War, came up with this system analysis of how

581
00:30:25,000 --> 00:30:27,320
Speaker 16: you would go after a look at your opponent.

582
00:30:27,200 --> 00:30:28,560
Speaker 17: And it's called the Five Rings.

583
00:30:29,200 --> 00:30:32,640
Speaker 16: And a nice article that just came out this last

584
00:30:32,680 --> 00:30:36,200
Speaker 16: week and the Army War College, pressed by doctor Jacob Stoyle,

585
00:30:37,280 --> 00:30:41,600
Speaker 16: says that he talks about this being applied to Iran.

586
00:30:42,160 --> 00:30:45,160
Speaker 16: And so what you see there is these rings and

587
00:30:45,280 --> 00:30:48,560
Speaker 16: in the center ring is the leadership and then its

588
00:30:49,040 --> 00:30:54,160
Speaker 16: outer ring. Next outer ring is organic essentials, then infrastructure

589
00:30:54,360 --> 00:30:58,120
Speaker 16: and population, and then field in military forces. So for

590
00:30:58,200 --> 00:31:02,960
Speaker 16: the last thirty eight days, the US military, Pentagon and

591
00:31:03,000 --> 00:31:06,719
Speaker 16: Syncom and the Joint Force have been going after predominantly

592
00:31:06,840 --> 00:31:10,560
Speaker 16: on the US side, the field and military forces. We've

593
00:31:10,600 --> 00:31:15,400
Speaker 16: been using asymmetric capabilities against their you know, lots of.

594
00:31:15,400 --> 00:31:18,160
Speaker 17: Different Iranian capabilities.

595
00:31:18,720 --> 00:31:23,240
Speaker 16: We've gone after their proxies, regional proxies, conventional military forces,

596
00:31:23,840 --> 00:31:28,360
Speaker 16: and likewise, the Israelis have been focusing on the leadership.

597
00:31:28,040 --> 00:31:29,520
Speaker 17: And the leadership.

598
00:31:29,560 --> 00:31:31,840
Speaker 16: There's some charts out there even today that show the

599
00:31:32,520 --> 00:31:36,120
Speaker 16: you know, the scores of higher GC leadership that has

600
00:31:36,200 --> 00:31:40,160
Speaker 16: been decimated along with the religious leaders and the Supreme.

601
00:31:39,920 --> 00:31:41,440
Speaker 17: Leader and his family and whatnot.

602
00:31:42,280 --> 00:31:46,800
Speaker 16: And we haven't really struck and touched the organic essentials,

603
00:31:46,800 --> 00:31:51,120
Speaker 16: which is the energy sector. We've gone after missile industrial complex,

604
00:31:51,200 --> 00:31:55,240
Speaker 16: those missile cities where they produce the ballistic missiles.

605
00:31:54,840 --> 00:31:58,080
Speaker 17: And drones and things of that nature. And we've gone

606
00:31:58,320 --> 00:31:59,360
Speaker 17: we've hit one bridge.

607
00:31:59,400 --> 00:32:02,480
Speaker 16: It was very publicized this last week, but we haven't

608
00:32:02,520 --> 00:32:05,440
Speaker 16: really gone after too much. So what's happened this morning

609
00:32:06,400 --> 00:32:11,520
Speaker 16: already is that you're seeing Israel IDF going after road

610
00:32:11,720 --> 00:32:16,880
Speaker 16: and rail bridge networks in Tehran, Isfahan, Kalm, Kwalm, and

611
00:32:17,000 --> 00:32:21,520
Speaker 16: in western Iran, along with the United States attacking military

612
00:32:21,920 --> 00:32:24,520
Speaker 16: refinishing off or not, I don't know if finishing is

613
00:32:24,560 --> 00:32:29,320
Speaker 16: not the right word, but continuing to attack military facilities

614
00:32:29,440 --> 00:32:32,520
Speaker 16: on carg Island, which is everyone knows is about ninety

615
00:32:32,560 --> 00:32:37,160
Speaker 16: percent of Iran's output for oil. That's the center point,

616
00:32:37,240 --> 00:32:41,479
Speaker 16: that's the key point in the Gulf. So what's happened

617
00:32:41,600 --> 00:32:43,920
Speaker 16: is is that we have for thirty eight days attack

618
00:32:44,000 --> 00:32:47,360
Speaker 16: that outer ring and now and the inner Ring, and

619
00:32:47,440 --> 00:32:49,320
Speaker 16: now we're going to expand it out into those two

620
00:32:49,440 --> 00:32:52,240
Speaker 16: blue rings organic essentials and infrastructure.

621
00:32:52,760 --> 00:32:56,160
Speaker 17: And as you said, there's the plan and the structure

622
00:32:56,240 --> 00:32:57,840
Speaker 17: is to have regime collapse.

623
00:32:58,440 --> 00:33:01,280
Speaker 16: And you know, the regime leaders, whoever they are, at

624
00:33:01,320 --> 00:33:04,480
Speaker 16: this point several rungs down the ladder, they may.

625
00:33:04,480 --> 00:33:04,880
Speaker 3: Or may not.

626
00:33:07,800 --> 00:33:08,080
Speaker 8: Hang on.

627
00:33:08,120 --> 00:33:11,280
Speaker 13: I want to get terminology right here, because President Trump

628
00:33:11,360 --> 00:33:14,680
Speaker 13: said and you see from the chart, he believes that's

629
00:33:14,800 --> 00:33:15,600
Speaker 13: regime change.

630
00:33:15,720 --> 00:33:18,440
Speaker 8: You've gone down. I think on the IRGC level, it's

631
00:33:18,600 --> 00:33:21,840
Speaker 8: even to the brigade level. We've killed a lot of people.

632
00:33:21,880 --> 00:33:24,440
Speaker 13: And the Israelis have, as they are want to do,

633
00:33:25,280 --> 00:33:28,200
Speaker 13: really target this for leadership and some say where they

634
00:33:28,240 --> 00:33:30,560
Speaker 13: also target who the negotiators are.

635
00:33:30,760 --> 00:33:33,320
Speaker 8: Be that as it may. They've taken care of that,

636
00:33:34,520 --> 00:33:34,880
Speaker 8: haven't we.

637
00:33:35,120 --> 00:33:37,160
Speaker 13: You look at the systems analysis, This is what I

638
00:33:37,200 --> 00:33:40,160
Speaker 13: want to get across to the audience. What happens tonight

639
00:33:41,160 --> 00:33:46,360
Speaker 13: is kind of fundamentally different. We're going towards state collapse.

640
00:33:46,920 --> 00:33:48,800
Speaker 13: I think if you get in back of President Trump's

641
00:33:48,840 --> 00:33:52,480
Speaker 13: rhetoric is that this is not simply about the regime anymore.

642
00:33:52,560 --> 00:33:53,440
Speaker 8: They're going to take down.

643
00:33:53,520 --> 00:33:57,080
Speaker 13: This is why he's warning the Iranian people that, hey,

644
00:33:57,200 --> 00:33:59,200
Speaker 13: your life is going to be very different after this.

645
00:33:59,360 --> 00:34:03,200
Speaker 13: This I'm looking at a civilizational collapse or state collapse.

646
00:34:03,520 --> 00:34:07,000
Speaker 13: They're going after the basic building blocks of how a

647
00:34:07,160 --> 00:34:08,760
Speaker 13: nation actually exists.

648
00:34:09,480 --> 00:34:10,840
Speaker 8: Is that a way to look at it that this

649
00:34:11,040 --> 00:34:12,640
Speaker 8: is kind of fundamentally different.

650
00:34:12,719 --> 00:34:17,120
Speaker 13: As you get closer into that inner circle of where

651
00:34:17,160 --> 00:34:21,080
Speaker 13: you're going to take this apart systematically, take the system

652
00:34:21,120 --> 00:34:22,200
Speaker 13: apart systematically.

653
00:34:23,719 --> 00:34:27,800
Speaker 16: I think the rhetoric will be used that way, and

654
00:34:27,880 --> 00:34:30,800
Speaker 16: the presidents use that rhetoric to say that exactly that

655
00:34:31,000 --> 00:34:33,560
Speaker 16: to the Iranian regime, this will be the end for you.

656
00:34:34,360 --> 00:34:37,880
Speaker 17: What in fact will actually happen likely tonight, is that he's.

657
00:34:37,800 --> 00:34:40,440
Speaker 16: Going to take out all their ability to produce power

658
00:34:41,120 --> 00:34:44,800
Speaker 16: and produce electricity and their ability to export.

659
00:34:44,440 --> 00:34:47,520
Speaker 17: Oil, which means they will have no money to come in.

660
00:34:47,880 --> 00:34:52,000
Speaker 17: They will have no power to move and you know,

661
00:34:52,080 --> 00:34:53,600
Speaker 17: build missiles, build drones.

662
00:34:54,520 --> 00:34:57,560
Speaker 16: They will not have any bridges, rail or road, so

663
00:34:57,680 --> 00:35:00,600
Speaker 16: they won't be able to get supplies in from or

664
00:35:00,640 --> 00:35:04,600
Speaker 16: anything flown in or maybe flying and still could be some,

665
00:35:05,320 --> 00:35:07,880
Speaker 16: but there won't be anything coming in from external sources.

666
00:35:08,080 --> 00:35:10,680
Speaker 17: They will be cut off, and so the regime will

667
00:35:10,719 --> 00:35:11,759
Speaker 17: have to do.

668
00:35:11,960 --> 00:35:14,919
Speaker 16: Something and what can they do well, most likely they'll

669
00:35:15,000 --> 00:35:19,960
Speaker 16: respond with a gasp a salvo of ballistic missiles and drones.

670
00:35:19,960 --> 00:35:23,040
Speaker 16: It'll probably be quite large over the next day or two,

671
00:35:23,760 --> 00:35:29,799
Speaker 16: but they're running out of those systems. Regardless of analysis

672
00:35:29,840 --> 00:35:32,080
Speaker 16: from some, I think the fact of the matter is

673
00:35:32,120 --> 00:35:35,759
Speaker 16: that they're being depleted after thirty eight days, and the

674
00:35:35,880 --> 00:35:37,640
Speaker 16: idea that they can just go on and do this

675
00:35:37,760 --> 00:35:42,040
Speaker 16: and definitely it doesn't match the assessments that are coming

676
00:35:42,120 --> 00:35:45,680
Speaker 16: out of Sentcom or the Pentagon or other sources. Now

677
00:35:45,719 --> 00:35:47,759
Speaker 16: there's some that still say they have so much there.

678
00:35:48,440 --> 00:35:51,239
Speaker 16: But the idea that we were able to fly two

679
00:35:51,320 --> 00:35:54,920
Speaker 16: rescue missions on two different days and fly American aircraft

680
00:35:56,040 --> 00:35:59,600
Speaker 16: MC one thirties and helicopters and a tens and fly

681
00:35:59,800 --> 00:36:03,360
Speaker 16: for seven hours over two hundred miles into Iran to

682
00:36:03,480 --> 00:36:08,400
Speaker 16: rescue two aviators is a demonstration. And I love San Fadis,

683
00:36:08,480 --> 00:36:11,399
Speaker 16: but I vote for me. What I heard yesterday from

684
00:36:11,480 --> 00:36:16,560
Speaker 16: the president's press conference was the Iranians are really incapable of.

685
00:36:16,640 --> 00:36:19,160
Speaker 17: Stopping us when we want to do something. Sure, they

686
00:36:19,239 --> 00:36:22,960
Speaker 17: fired up some missiles or some of these Project three

687
00:36:23,120 --> 00:36:28,240
Speaker 17: five to eight loitering surface air missiles, but in thirteen

688
00:36:28,800 --> 00:36:32,400
Speaker 17: five hundred combat sorties, that's maybe the only one that

689
00:36:32,440 --> 00:36:36,239
Speaker 17: they've actually successfully hit anything with. So I think the

690
00:36:36,360 --> 00:36:37,279
Speaker 17: evidence is from this.

691
00:36:38,040 --> 00:36:41,000
Speaker 16: What we're seeing is we're operating at will over Iran,

692
00:36:41,520 --> 00:36:43,920
Speaker 16: and when we go to turn the lights out and

693
00:36:44,000 --> 00:36:47,400
Speaker 16: we go to shut down their rail and road networks completely,

694
00:36:48,040 --> 00:36:49,800
Speaker 16: there's not going to be anything left for the regime

695
00:36:49,880 --> 00:36:53,120
Speaker 16: to do except kill their own citizens and maybe the

696
00:36:53,200 --> 00:36:56,160
Speaker 16: President has some plan there as well that he hasn't

697
00:36:56,200 --> 00:36:59,120
Speaker 16: told us about, and those people will be able to

698
00:37:00,400 --> 00:37:03,400
Speaker 16: do something against this regime. But right now the regime

699
00:37:03,520 --> 00:37:05,960
Speaker 16: is not what it was thirty eight days ago. There

700
00:37:06,080 --> 00:37:09,239
Speaker 16: is no supreme leader. Even in the last three or

701
00:37:09,239 --> 00:37:11,640
Speaker 16: four hours, we've seen some reporting where the Iranians are

702
00:37:11,680 --> 00:37:15,400
Speaker 16: saying we can't have a negotiation because our supreme leader

703
00:37:15,680 --> 00:37:18,480
Speaker 16: isn't really capable. So you know, two days ago, a

704
00:37:18,520 --> 00:37:21,359
Speaker 16: week ago, we were told he's in control. Now we're

705
00:37:21,400 --> 00:37:26,000
Speaker 16: hearing other backpedaling. So I think the facts on the

706
00:37:26,080 --> 00:37:31,120
Speaker 16: ground are that Iran is collapsing in the process of collapsing,

707
00:37:31,239 --> 00:37:34,440
Speaker 16: and tonight is going to really be dramatic. And I

708
00:37:34,520 --> 00:37:38,120
Speaker 16: think the precursor actions which seem to be coordinated between

709
00:37:38,520 --> 00:37:42,320
Speaker 16: Israel and the United States this morning are indicators to

710
00:37:43,040 --> 00:37:45,640
Speaker 16: again from the president. As Eric Bolling just said, the

711
00:37:45,760 --> 00:37:50,040
Speaker 16: President is a master not manipulating but pressing and getting

712
00:37:50,080 --> 00:37:53,000
Speaker 16: his point across to say, listen, you really need to

713
00:37:53,040 --> 00:37:54,759
Speaker 16: come and make a deal and bend a knee.

714
00:37:55,120 --> 00:37:56,719
Speaker 17: Bend the knee and this will all end.

715
00:37:57,320 --> 00:37:59,560
Speaker 16: And they may or may not do that, I expect

716
00:38:00,160 --> 00:38:03,399
Speaker 16: on what Sam's told us about their regime, So it's

717
00:38:03,440 --> 00:38:05,040
Speaker 16: going to get ugly before it gets better.

718
00:38:06,960 --> 00:38:09,799
Speaker 13: I don't think maybe they do, but I think their

719
00:38:09,840 --> 00:38:11,440
Speaker 13: mentality is, hey, we're winning here.

720
00:38:11,480 --> 00:38:14,280
Speaker 8: We have the initiative. Whether it's reality or not their realty.

721
00:38:14,600 --> 00:38:16,359
Speaker 13: Hang over a second, as we go to break out

722
00:38:16,360 --> 00:38:18,680
Speaker 13: a couple of minutes, put us in the room. You're

723
00:38:18,719 --> 00:38:23,279
Speaker 13: basically nine hours away, nine or ten hours away from

724
00:38:23,400 --> 00:38:27,759
Speaker 13: what could be a massive assault. What are the targeteers?

725
00:38:27,840 --> 00:38:31,279
Speaker 13: What's happening at Sencom's core group as they talk to

726
00:38:31,400 --> 00:38:35,080
Speaker 13: Ermol Cooper and they go through what is the what's

727
00:38:35,120 --> 00:38:36,640
Speaker 13: the work process flow right now?

728
00:38:38,480 --> 00:38:41,440
Speaker 16: Well, in the targeting world, all that work has been

729
00:38:41,520 --> 00:38:45,200
Speaker 16: done earlier. So right now as a targeteer, right before

730
00:38:45,320 --> 00:38:49,800
Speaker 16: these combat operations actually start this level, this next phase

731
00:38:49,840 --> 00:38:52,720
Speaker 16: of it, if you will, there's probably some calm because

732
00:38:52,840 --> 00:38:55,880
Speaker 16: now all the homework's been done. They know where all

733
00:38:55,960 --> 00:39:00,600
Speaker 16: these facilities are, They've been paired up with what plas

734
00:39:00,719 --> 00:39:04,000
Speaker 16: and what munitions. They've done all the you know, munitions,

735
00:39:04,040 --> 00:39:08,359
Speaker 16: effectiveness assessments, They continuency planned as a president talked about

736
00:39:08,360 --> 00:39:12,239
Speaker 16: continuencies last night, So the planning is basically done. It's

737
00:39:12,280 --> 00:39:15,040
Speaker 16: now down to the execution. So the stress will be

738
00:39:15,120 --> 00:39:18,279
Speaker 16: out in the forward areas, in the our forward airfields

739
00:39:18,320 --> 00:39:22,440
Speaker 16: where the pilots are working with you, the ammunition loaders

740
00:39:22,960 --> 00:39:26,600
Speaker 16: and making sure that everything's right and prepared on their aircraft.

741
00:39:26,880 --> 00:39:30,160
Speaker 16: Same on our carriers. So if I'm a strike planner

742
00:39:30,600 --> 00:39:34,120
Speaker 16: on board the Lincoln, you know it's I'm still you know,

743
00:39:34,560 --> 00:39:37,000
Speaker 16: I'm still humping and making sure everything's right, that I'm

744
00:39:37,080 --> 00:39:39,560
Speaker 16: ready to go, locked and loaded in my mission. But

745
00:39:39,719 --> 00:39:42,880
Speaker 16: back at SynCon, everybody's like, Okay, we've picked all this.

746
00:39:43,239 --> 00:39:46,239
Speaker 16: They're working on the next phase. So they're preparing the

747
00:39:46,360 --> 00:39:49,640
Speaker 16: next phase of what else has to be done, and

748
00:39:49,719 --> 00:39:52,960
Speaker 16: as well as preparing the battle damage assessment teams. So

749
00:39:53,920 --> 00:39:56,920
Speaker 16: that battle damage assessment process is no longer just as

750
00:39:57,040 --> 00:39:59,320
Speaker 16: manual as it was when I did it in Desert Storm.

751
00:39:59,640 --> 00:40:05,759
Speaker 16: It's highly highly integrated today with AI and tools from

752
00:40:05,840 --> 00:40:09,640
Speaker 16: Pallenteer and overhead National systems collections and all of the

753
00:40:09,880 --> 00:40:12,560
Speaker 16: capabilities that we have to be able to get rapid

754
00:40:12,640 --> 00:40:17,239
Speaker 16: immediate feedback on how if we start this tonight, oh

755
00:40:17,400 --> 00:40:20,360
Speaker 16: we missed something, or let's put more pressure here. So

756
00:40:20,560 --> 00:40:23,759
Speaker 16: that's what we'll be going through and as always, the

757
00:40:24,200 --> 00:40:26,760
Speaker 16: priority will be on the safety of our airic crewmen

758
00:40:27,239 --> 00:40:31,640
Speaker 16: and aviators that are flying over the territory of Iran

759
00:40:31,760 --> 00:40:33,879
Speaker 16: to make sure that we don't get hurt, as well

760
00:40:33,960 --> 00:40:37,480
Speaker 16: as making sure that we're defending for the salvos that

761
00:40:37,560 --> 00:40:38,880
Speaker 16: are likely to come from Iran.

762
00:40:39,000 --> 00:40:42,600
Speaker 17: Back at US, hang on.

763
00:40:42,640 --> 00:40:46,000
Speaker 13: One second to the great Captain Jim fill the steely

764
00:40:46,480 --> 00:40:50,840
Speaker 13: resolve of the United States military on full display for

765
00:40:50,960 --> 00:40:54,840
Speaker 13: the world to save in the next twenty four hours.

766
00:40:56,080 --> 00:41:01,279
Speaker 3: Great excuse your.

767
00:41:01,239 --> 00:41:02,879
Speaker 6: Host, Stephen k back.

768
00:41:08,040 --> 00:41:10,320
Speaker 13: Now more than ever we've come out with the with

769
00:41:10,520 --> 00:41:14,200
Speaker 13: the West Texas Intermediate. It's now one hundred seventeen bucks.

770
00:41:15,640 --> 00:41:18,400
Speaker 13: Markets are all over the place, and of course, whatever

771
00:41:18,480 --> 00:41:20,880
Speaker 13: happens to night in the next nine, eight or nine hours,

772
00:41:20,960 --> 00:41:22,200
Speaker 13: we'll drive that even more.

773
00:41:22,560 --> 00:41:23,160
Speaker 8: Day by day.

774
00:41:24,640 --> 00:41:26,640
Speaker 13: We came out with the eighth free installment of the

775
00:41:26,840 --> 00:41:30,640
Speaker 13: end of the Dollar Empire. It's about the pressure being

776
00:41:30,680 --> 00:41:33,080
Speaker 13: put on the nice on the US dollar. Part of

777
00:41:33,160 --> 00:41:37,919
Speaker 13: that is this massive spending proposed Pentagon budget is wait

778
00:41:38,000 --> 00:41:41,759
Speaker 13: for it, one point five trillion dollars. I don't think

779
00:41:41,800 --> 00:41:44,120
Speaker 13: that includes the two hundred billion that they're asking for

780
00:41:45,080 --> 00:41:49,200
Speaker 13: this war effort right here, and that does not include

781
00:41:49,719 --> 00:41:50,640
Speaker 13: what's going on here.

782
00:41:50,760 --> 00:41:53,920
Speaker 8: In the last couple of days, so the pressure on

783
00:41:54,040 --> 00:41:58,680
Speaker 8: that also. Whoever is controlling the straight.

784
00:41:58,520 --> 00:42:01,120
Speaker 13: Or her moves, I'm not so sure it Revolutionary Guard

785
00:42:01,200 --> 00:42:06,160
Speaker 13: as a group of pirates down in down in southern

786
00:42:06,239 --> 00:42:10,279
Speaker 13: Iran right on the cliffs there that have that have

787
00:42:10,400 --> 00:42:14,640
Speaker 13: had a good run for centuries of kind of living

788
00:42:14,719 --> 00:42:18,759
Speaker 13: there and screwing was shipping all the time. But they're

789
00:42:18,800 --> 00:42:21,799
Speaker 13: taking it in Chinese currency. And as Captain Fanel has

790
00:42:22,040 --> 00:42:25,960
Speaker 13: ground into US over a long period of time, keep

791
00:42:26,000 --> 00:42:29,240
Speaker 13: the main thing, the main thing, And so the bricks Nations,

792
00:42:29,320 --> 00:42:31,040
Speaker 13: which we kind of had on the ropes a little

793
00:42:31,080 --> 00:42:37,520
Speaker 13: bit after the rear reset, particularly with President Trump coming

794
00:42:37,600 --> 00:42:41,080
Speaker 13: back into office, now looks like this bricks thing is

795
00:42:41,480 --> 00:42:43,600
Speaker 13: back on fire and the Chinese Countist Party are doing

796
00:42:43,719 --> 00:42:46,960
Speaker 13: everything they could possibly do to destroy the US dollars.

797
00:42:47,000 --> 00:42:50,320
Speaker 13: So make sure you get the end of the dollar empire.

798
00:42:50,520 --> 00:42:53,040
Speaker 13: Five years now, we've been putting this out now the

799
00:42:53,160 --> 00:42:54,160
Speaker 13: eighth free installment.

800
00:42:54,320 --> 00:42:55,120
Speaker 8: Make sure you got it.

801
00:42:56,239 --> 00:43:00,160
Speaker 13: And sometime this week given time, we're trying to break

802
00:43:00,239 --> 00:43:03,719
Speaker 13: down this budget proposal and also at the same time

803
00:43:04,080 --> 00:43:05,720
Speaker 13: talk to you about what the meaning of this about.

804
00:43:05,840 --> 00:43:08,759
Speaker 13: They're trying to go to they're trying to go to

805
00:43:09,760 --> 00:43:12,480
Speaker 13: break the Petro Dollar. But learn all about it and

806
00:43:12,640 --> 00:43:14,879
Speaker 13: talk to Philip Patrian team. That's the key thing. Get

807
00:43:14,880 --> 00:43:19,160
Speaker 13: to Philip Patrick and the team today as goal bounces

808
00:43:19,560 --> 00:43:24,200
Speaker 13: all around, Patrick cave Donald asked you to join us

809
00:43:26,560 --> 00:43:29,960
Speaker 13: because of major presidential decisions. The President of the United States,

810
00:43:30,040 --> 00:43:33,160
Speaker 13: the commander in chief of the most powerful military in

811
00:43:33,200 --> 00:43:37,200
Speaker 13: the history and world history, said today on a true

812
00:43:37,239 --> 00:43:40,680
Speaker 13: social this is one of the most important days in

813
00:43:40,760 --> 00:43:45,080
Speaker 13: the complex history of the world, with the decisions that

814
00:43:45,120 --> 00:43:49,399
Speaker 13: will be made approximately or be executed upon around eight

815
00:43:49,560 --> 00:43:54,600
Speaker 13: pm Eastern daylight time today, the Iranians came back and said, hey, yo,

816
00:43:55,400 --> 00:43:58,880
Speaker 13: put it where the sun doesn't shine. We're breaking off

817
00:43:58,920 --> 00:44:01,839
Speaker 13: any communication. And then they came out afterwards and said,

818
00:44:02,360 --> 00:44:04,520
Speaker 13: don't even worry. You think her move is the problem.

819
00:44:04,560 --> 00:44:07,680
Speaker 13: We're going to shut off the Red Sea. Talk to

820
00:44:07,760 --> 00:44:11,600
Speaker 13: me about the scale of presidential decisions. You're someone that's

821
00:44:11,640 --> 00:44:15,280
Speaker 13: a great combat historian. You've written so many books about

822
00:44:15,520 --> 00:44:18,760
Speaker 13: war in America being in war of which every president,

823
00:44:18,840 --> 00:44:21,279
Speaker 13: I think all the major presidents are captured in your

824
00:44:21,440 --> 00:44:25,000
Speaker 13: in your writing. What's your sense of this? How big

825
00:44:25,080 --> 00:44:27,839
Speaker 13: a day do you put this? In the at least

826
00:44:27,880 --> 00:44:29,920
Speaker 13: the military history of the United States.

827
00:44:31,080 --> 00:44:35,239
Speaker 18: This is a massive and consequential day. This is an

828
00:44:35,320 --> 00:44:42,000
Speaker 18: incredibly important decision. And I think that this war is

829
00:44:42,480 --> 00:44:44,959
Speaker 18: up there in terms of World War Two, in terms

830
00:44:45,000 --> 00:44:49,040
Speaker 18: of the moral importance of taking down the Iranian regime

831
00:44:49,120 --> 00:44:51,719
Speaker 18: and framing the Iranian people. And that's what it's really

832
00:44:51,760 --> 00:44:54,440
Speaker 18: all about. And now the question is how do you

833
00:44:54,560 --> 00:44:57,680
Speaker 18: go about that. It's complex, it's hard, but.

834
00:44:59,239 --> 00:44:59,840
Speaker 3: The accident.

835
00:45:00,200 --> 00:45:02,520
Speaker 13: Let me let me ask your premise, Let me ask you,

836
00:45:02,640 --> 00:45:04,640
Speaker 13: Let me ask you. Hang on, hang on, let me

837
00:45:04,680 --> 00:45:08,560
Speaker 13: ask your hang on, hang on, Let me ask you

838
00:45:08,560 --> 00:45:12,160
Speaker 13: about your premise. You were assigned as a combat historian

839
00:45:13,239 --> 00:45:14,880
Speaker 13: in the Iraq War. It's one of the most and

840
00:45:15,000 --> 00:45:15,440
Speaker 13: you gave.

841
00:45:15,320 --> 00:45:17,520
Speaker 8: A very powerful talk when we played the last six

842
00:45:17,600 --> 00:45:20,560
Speaker 8: hundred meters. You guys were there. You were with a

843
00:45:21,160 --> 00:45:22,839
Speaker 8: marine rifle unit.

844
00:45:23,560 --> 00:45:23,680
Speaker 2: Uh.

845
00:45:23,880 --> 00:45:25,960
Speaker 13: You came under fire as a combat historian because you

846
00:45:26,080 --> 00:45:28,280
Speaker 13: embedded with these guys right at the tip of the spear.

847
00:45:29,000 --> 00:45:31,400
Speaker 13: That was I think in two thousand and six, roughly

848
00:45:32,239 --> 00:45:35,000
Speaker 13: twenty years later, for why do we give it? What?

849
00:45:35,200 --> 00:45:35,239
Speaker 15: What?

850
00:45:35,480 --> 00:45:35,920
Speaker 16: What more?

851
00:45:36,360 --> 00:45:36,400
Speaker 15: For?

852
00:45:36,920 --> 00:45:40,440
Speaker 8: Why why do why do we what is.

853
00:45:40,480 --> 00:45:43,000
Speaker 13: The moral imperative of freeing the Iranian people? Why do

854
00:45:43,080 --> 00:45:44,800
Speaker 13: we give a damn there are people all over the

855
00:45:44,880 --> 00:45:48,879
Speaker 13: world that are impaired like this. Why do we give

856
00:45:48,920 --> 00:45:52,680
Speaker 13: a damn about the Iranian people? The Iranian people. Let

857
00:45:52,719 --> 00:45:57,600
Speaker 13: me just remember, remind you, the Iranian people brought on this, uh,

858
00:45:58,080 --> 00:46:02,800
Speaker 13: this theocratic regime when they kicked us out unceremoniously so

859
00:46:03,239 --> 00:46:06,200
Speaker 13: and I realized that a lot of them had buyer's remorse.

860
00:46:06,920 --> 00:46:09,239
Speaker 8: But it sounds to me like a personal problem. Why

861
00:46:09,360 --> 00:46:11,200
Speaker 8: is this now a high moral cause?

862
00:46:11,560 --> 00:46:11,719
Speaker 3: Sir?

863
00:46:13,040 --> 00:46:16,480
Speaker 18: It's the invisible hand that's been fighting the United States

864
00:46:16,960 --> 00:46:20,759
Speaker 18: for forty seven years, killing many of the men that

865
00:46:20,880 --> 00:46:24,839
Speaker 18: I was in battle with in Fallujah, you know, destroying

866
00:46:25,120 --> 00:46:28,239
Speaker 18: the efforts in in Iraq that you know, many of

867
00:46:28,280 --> 00:46:31,960
Speaker 18: these soldiers and Marines, airmen, you know, gave their lives for.

868
00:46:33,880 --> 00:46:36,759
Speaker 18: This is a this is a regime that is bent

869
00:46:37,000 --> 00:46:40,080
Speaker 18: on destroying the United States as well. And it's now,

870
00:46:40,440 --> 00:46:43,759
Speaker 18: you know, we can debate about, you know, how this

871
00:46:44,080 --> 00:46:46,480
Speaker 18: occurred for for a long time, and I'm sure that's

872
00:46:46,520 --> 00:46:49,239
Speaker 18: gonna happen, But now it's about winning, and we have

873
00:46:49,360 --> 00:46:53,640
Speaker 18: to win, Steve, and we win by taking away their

874
00:46:53,680 --> 00:46:58,200
Speaker 18: oil revenue and and and that's that's it will collapse.

875
00:46:58,400 --> 00:47:01,239
Speaker 18: They are a dead man walking at this stage. And

876
00:47:01,480 --> 00:47:04,080
Speaker 18: now what they are trying to do is distract us

877
00:47:04,400 --> 00:47:06,600
Speaker 18: with the straight of Horror moves. It's a big distraction.

878
00:47:06,640 --> 00:47:09,440
Speaker 18: It's an important distraction. It is not the center of gravity.

879
00:47:09,600 --> 00:47:13,000
Speaker 18: The center of gravity needs to be destroying the Iranian regime.

880
00:47:16,320 --> 00:47:19,200
Speaker 8: Why do you say the center of gravity is regime.

881
00:47:19,239 --> 00:47:22,200
Speaker 8: They've been We've bombed them, as you know.

882
00:47:22,360 --> 00:47:25,400
Speaker 13: These sorties have been, these stories have been just brutal

883
00:47:26,000 --> 00:47:28,759
Speaker 13: for the last what thirty eight thirty nine days, They've

884
00:47:28,840 --> 00:47:31,759
Speaker 13: shifted the center of gravity to the Persian Gulf. And

885
00:47:31,840 --> 00:47:33,880
Speaker 13: in their mind, I'm not saying they're right, but in

886
00:47:33,960 --> 00:47:35,800
Speaker 13: their mind they have the initiative.

887
00:47:36,080 --> 00:47:40,360
Speaker 3: Sir Washington said, do not be drove.

888
00:47:41,000 --> 00:47:44,080
Speaker 18: In other words, never see the initiative to the enemy.

889
00:47:44,920 --> 00:47:48,480
Speaker 18: And that's why the straight of Her moves is an

890
00:47:48,560 --> 00:47:53,040
Speaker 18: incredibly important lifeline to the world's economy. But it's a distraction.

891
00:47:54,200 --> 00:47:57,120
Speaker 18: The key is freeing the Iranian people at this point

892
00:47:57,480 --> 00:48:01,320
Speaker 18: and removing the regime. Can any kind of deal is

893
00:48:01,360 --> 00:48:03,520
Speaker 18: going to be a situation where it's not worth the

894
00:48:03,560 --> 00:48:05,520
Speaker 18: paper it's written out. They're just going to lie, to

895
00:48:05,560 --> 00:48:08,360
Speaker 18: eat and steal and do what they always do. And

896
00:48:08,800 --> 00:48:12,279
Speaker 18: there's a real possibility if they're not removed, that they

897
00:48:12,320 --> 00:48:15,200
Speaker 18: will get stronger and much stronger, and they will be

898
00:48:15,280 --> 00:48:18,719
Speaker 18: stronger with their partners, with the Chinese and the Russians.

899
00:48:22,080 --> 00:48:24,600
Speaker 8: I tell you what, Patrick k o'donald, hang on for

900
00:48:24,600 --> 00:48:26,239
Speaker 8: a minute. I want to get more of.

901
00:48:26,239 --> 00:48:30,920
Speaker 13: Your important Jim Rickards is out and about, but he's

902
00:48:30,960 --> 00:48:32,920
Speaker 13: going to call in. We want to get the strategic

903
00:48:33,200 --> 00:48:35,960
Speaker 13: framing of Jim Rickards. We got Captain Fanel with us,

904
00:48:36,040 --> 00:48:38,760
Speaker 13: Patrick K. O'donald, top combat historian every generation.

905
00:48:39,800 --> 00:48:41,160
Speaker 8: We're going to have much much more.

906
00:48:41,480 --> 00:48:43,600
Speaker 13: In the second hours, President Trump says, one of the

907
00:48:43,640 --> 00:48:48,640
Speaker 13: most consequential days in the history of the world. We're

908
00:48:48,640 --> 00:48:50,920
Speaker 13: going to take a short commercial break. The right stuff's

909
00:48:50,960 --> 00:48:52,000
Speaker 13: going to take us out.

910
00:48:52,640 --> 00:48:53,439
Speaker 8: We back the moment.
