1 00:00:00,240 --> 00:00:03,040 Speaker 1: We don't know why Donald Trump just started this war 2 00:00:03,120 --> 00:00:08,280 Speaker 1: in Iran, Washington Post reported this weekend, and The New 3 00:00:08,360 --> 00:00:11,719 Speaker 1: York Times reported today that Trump did it basically as 4 00:00:11,760 --> 00:00:16,680 Speaker 1: a favor. That there was no US intelligence that Iran 5 00:00:16,720 --> 00:00:20,759 Speaker 1: posed any imminent threat to US, but Saudi Arabia and 6 00:00:20,840 --> 00:00:23,720 Speaker 1: Israel told Trump to do it, and so he did 7 00:00:23,720 --> 00:00:30,920 Speaker 1: it because, hey, you know, America first strong man, We're 8 00:00:30,960 --> 00:00:33,320 Speaker 1: just going to put our military at the disposal of 9 00:00:33,360 --> 00:00:36,559 Speaker 1: other countries because they can tell Trump what to do 10 00:00:36,640 --> 00:00:36,960 Speaker 1: with it. 11 00:00:38,720 --> 00:00:38,960 Speaker 2: Quote. 12 00:00:39,000 --> 00:00:42,280 Speaker 1: The attack came despite US intelligence assessments that Iran's forces 13 00:00:42,440 --> 00:00:44,840 Speaker 1: were unlikely to pose an immediate threat to the US 14 00:00:44,880 --> 00:00:48,120 Speaker 1: mainland within the next decade. 15 00:00:49,479 --> 00:00:50,879 Speaker 3: But he did it anyway. 16 00:00:52,159 --> 00:00:54,360 Speaker 1: Because Israel and Saudi Arabia told him to, and he 17 00:00:54,400 --> 00:00:58,320 Speaker 1: apparently does what they say. And now six American service 18 00:00:58,360 --> 00:01:01,800 Speaker 1: members are known to have been killed and many more injured. 19 00:01:02,600 --> 00:01:05,080 Speaker 1: There's also new reporting tonight that the US embassy in 20 00:01:05,200 --> 00:01:08,000 Speaker 1: Riod in South Saudi Arabia has been hit by two drones. 21 00:01:08,480 --> 00:01:11,280 Speaker 1: The Washington Post is now also reporting that two Defense 22 00:01:11,319 --> 00:01:14,880 Speaker 1: Department employees. US Defense Department employees have been wounded in 23 00:01:14,920 --> 00:01:19,920 Speaker 1: an Iranian drone attack on a hotel in Bahrain, and 24 00:01:19,959 --> 00:01:21,920 Speaker 1: I mean in terms of what we were heading into 25 00:01:22,000 --> 00:01:23,480 Speaker 1: and the kind of risk we're heading into. These are 26 00:01:23,480 --> 00:01:26,480 Speaker 1: the sort of headlines that we're seeing tonight. Quote, earthquake 27 00:01:26,600 --> 00:01:30,679 Speaker 1: in the Gulf. Iran war expands to a dozen countries 28 00:01:30,720 --> 00:01:33,480 Speaker 1: in seventy two hours. Just seventy two hours after the 29 00:01:33,560 --> 00:01:36,319 Speaker 1: US and Israel began bombing Iran, the war has already 30 00:01:36,360 --> 00:01:39,960 Speaker 1: consumed nearly the entire Middle East, reached the gates of Europe, 31 00:01:40,080 --> 00:01:44,520 Speaker 1: and raised new fears of attacks on American soil. This 32 00:01:44,560 --> 00:01:45,959 Speaker 1: is the front page of the New York Times that 33 00:01:46,000 --> 00:01:49,080 Speaker 1: we woke up to today. US troops killed a blast, 34 00:01:49,320 --> 00:01:54,040 Speaker 1: jolt Mid East fear of wider war after Iran's response. 35 00:01:56,480 --> 00:02:02,600 Speaker 1: Reuters dueling headlines here. Iran conflict widens to Lebanon create 36 00:02:02,760 --> 00:02:07,360 Speaker 1: mistakenly down's US jets. Let's there right next to Iran 37 00:02:07,440 --> 00:02:11,240 Speaker 1: says straight of hormones closed, warns that will attack ships 38 00:02:11,240 --> 00:02:14,720 Speaker 1: trying to pass. And indeed, just on the global energy front, 39 00:02:14,760 --> 00:02:18,200 Speaker 1: we have seen natural gas prices spike by fifty percent 40 00:02:18,280 --> 00:02:21,720 Speaker 1: in Europe. One of the world's largest exporters of natural 41 00:02:21,720 --> 00:02:24,120 Speaker 1: gas is Cutter. Cutter now says they have stopped all 42 00:02:24,160 --> 00:02:27,680 Speaker 1: production of natural gas, and indeed, Iran says it has 43 00:02:27,720 --> 00:02:31,840 Speaker 1: closed the straight of hormones through which passes thirty percent 44 00:02:32,000 --> 00:02:34,680 Speaker 1: of the world's oil and twenty percent of the world's 45 00:02:34,760 --> 00:02:35,640 Speaker 1: natural gas. 46 00:02:36,280 --> 00:02:38,600 Speaker 2: They say it is closed one. 47 00:02:38,680 --> 00:02:40,240 Speaker 4: Dred percent clear to me, General, And that's not to 48 00:02:40,240 --> 00:02:43,359 Speaker 4: suggest that I don't support one hundred percent what is happening, 49 00:02:43,680 --> 00:02:45,000 Speaker 4: nor did I one. 50 00:02:44,840 --> 00:02:46,600 Speaker 5: Hundred percent offer my support. 51 00:02:46,680 --> 00:02:47,840 Speaker 4: I just think I want to ask a couple of 52 00:02:47,880 --> 00:02:49,880 Speaker 4: critical questions, and I hope you know how much respect 53 00:02:49,919 --> 00:02:51,720 Speaker 4: I have for your service. And I think it goes 54 00:02:51,760 --> 00:02:54,120 Speaker 4: without saying to anybody watching how much respect I have 55 00:02:54,240 --> 00:02:55,320 Speaker 4: for the min making's decision. 56 00:02:55,360 --> 00:02:57,680 Speaker 6: You don't have to patronize me. Just ask the question. 57 00:02:58,200 --> 00:03:00,200 Speaker 6: Go ahead, come on, ask it. 58 00:03:00,240 --> 00:03:04,200 Speaker 4: To be clear, General, I'm not patronizing you. I'm trying 59 00:03:04,240 --> 00:03:06,040 Speaker 4: to have a very serious conversation in front of the 60 00:03:06,080 --> 00:03:09,520 Speaker 4: American people. The men making these decisions have my utmost respected. 61 00:03:09,600 --> 00:03:12,119 Speaker 4: This is less about you and everybody making these decisions, 62 00:03:12,160 --> 00:03:14,800 Speaker 4: and this is about the American people understanding the investment 63 00:03:14,800 --> 00:03:17,919 Speaker 4: that lies before them. Do we understand the objectives? We've 64 00:03:17,919 --> 00:03:20,559 Speaker 4: seen the price in the past of having unclear objectives, 65 00:03:20,800 --> 00:03:22,919 Speaker 4: and maybe you do, and maybe the Secretary of War does, 66 00:03:22,960 --> 00:03:25,239 Speaker 4: but I think the American people also need to understand. 67 00:03:25,560 --> 00:03:27,560 Speaker 4: And when you lay out the way that Iran has 68 00:03:27,600 --> 00:03:30,799 Speaker 4: behaved towards the United States is a justification, but it's 69 00:03:30,800 --> 00:03:33,840 Speaker 4: a justification for regime change, and I just heard something 70 00:03:33,960 --> 00:03:37,080 Speaker 4: different from the Secretary of State. The reason I think 71 00:03:37,080 --> 00:03:39,960 Speaker 4: this is a point of clarification that I need, and 72 00:03:40,000 --> 00:03:41,640 Speaker 4: I think that a lot of the American people need, 73 00:03:41,880 --> 00:03:46,920 Speaker 4: is because degrading their missile capability requires a different investment 74 00:03:47,480 --> 00:03:50,240 Speaker 4: than regime change. So what I want to be clear 75 00:03:50,240 --> 00:03:53,520 Speaker 4: about is what level investment are we looking at here? 76 00:03:56,080 --> 00:03:57,240 Speaker 2: I thought it's pretty clear. 77 00:03:57,280 --> 00:04:01,080 Speaker 6: I mean, what we're trying to do is take down 78 00:04:02,280 --> 00:04:06,480 Speaker 6: what sustains this regime and keeps it be able to function. 79 00:04:07,320 --> 00:04:11,920 Speaker 6: That is their governance system with leadership, the IRGC, the 80 00:04:12,000 --> 00:04:15,200 Speaker 6: BASM militia, and the police that are repressing the people, 81 00:04:15,680 --> 00:04:19,440 Speaker 6: and strip away all of that capability. And what I'm 82 00:04:19,480 --> 00:04:25,680 Speaker 6: talking about is US and Israeli objectives here because this 83 00:04:26,080 --> 00:04:31,279 Speaker 6: is a combined operation that is critical to success here. 84 00:04:31,720 --> 00:04:35,000 Speaker 6: And then it becomes what are we doing about their 85 00:04:35,040 --> 00:04:36,760 Speaker 6: capabilities to attack us? 86 00:04:37,120 --> 00:04:38,400 Speaker 2: And that has been pretty clear. 87 00:04:38,520 --> 00:04:41,840 Speaker 6: We're going to strip away all of that will we're 88 00:04:41,880 --> 00:04:45,120 Speaker 6: going to take down the ballistic missile systems, the drones. 89 00:04:44,800 --> 00:04:47,039 Speaker 2: Capability and whatever. 90 00:04:47,120 --> 00:04:50,719 Speaker 6: They made the decision to recover in nuclear weapons, but 91 00:04:50,800 --> 00:04:53,880 Speaker 6: they haven't done much about it. And whatever that not 92 00:04:54,000 --> 00:04:56,800 Speaker 6: done much about it is we're going to take that 93 00:04:56,960 --> 00:04:59,760 Speaker 6: down as well. So we're going to have a regime 94 00:05:00,040 --> 00:05:02,880 Speaker 6: that is very is going to be challenged to govern. 95 00:05:03,600 --> 00:05:06,400 Speaker 6: It's stripped away its leadership, capability to do it, the 96 00:05:06,480 --> 00:05:10,200 Speaker 6: infrastructure of supports and sustaining that on the governance side, 97 00:05:10,240 --> 00:05:12,960 Speaker 6: as well as on the military and police side, and 98 00:05:13,080 --> 00:05:15,960 Speaker 6: people that are represhing repressing the people. 99 00:05:16,160 --> 00:05:18,920 Speaker 2: And then take down all the weapons. That is very clear. 100 00:05:19,440 --> 00:05:22,480 Speaker 6: And then what when you bring in the Israelis they 101 00:05:22,480 --> 00:05:28,719 Speaker 6: are attempting to set conditions to put this regime on 102 00:05:28,839 --> 00:05:33,919 Speaker 6: a pathway for its collapse. They're not saying they're going 103 00:05:33,960 --> 00:05:38,040 Speaker 6: to force its collapse, They're setting the conditions for its collapse. 104 00:05:38,600 --> 00:05:42,080 Speaker 6: I think those objectives are pretty clear in terms of 105 00:05:42,120 --> 00:05:43,400 Speaker 6: what we're trying to do here. 106 00:05:44,600 --> 00:05:46,440 Speaker 7: Well, Michael, I think this is the second time the 107 00:05:46,520 --> 00:05:50,360 Speaker 7: century that the United States has made a drastically bad 108 00:05:50,600 --> 00:05:54,920 Speaker 7: mistake in terms of engaging and conflict in the Middle East. 109 00:05:54,960 --> 00:05:56,720 Speaker 7: The first one was in two thousand and three, when 110 00:05:56,720 --> 00:05:59,600 Speaker 7: we've invaded a rock and that ushered end then years 111 00:05:59,640 --> 00:06:03,279 Speaker 7: and years years of chaos and violence and tourism. It 112 00:06:03,400 --> 00:06:07,480 Speaker 7: gave birth to ISIS, and we're just getting over twenty 113 00:06:07,560 --> 00:06:13,240 Speaker 7: years of that confusion and chaos. Now we're going ahead 114 00:06:13,320 --> 00:06:18,040 Speaker 7: and carrying out this major attack against a very large country, Iran, 115 00:06:18,080 --> 00:06:20,880 Speaker 7: which is much larger than Iraq. And there's a lot 116 00:06:20,920 --> 00:06:23,520 Speaker 7: of history here obviously, in the region and so on. 117 00:06:24,160 --> 00:06:26,680 Speaker 7: But what we've seen in the past several days is 118 00:06:26,760 --> 00:06:30,920 Speaker 7: devastating attacks against Iran and the Iranian government. The Iranian 119 00:06:30,920 --> 00:06:33,680 Speaker 7: regime is not relenting at this point, and that's why 120 00:06:33,680 --> 00:06:37,760 Speaker 7: they're throwing everything they have at nearby targets, whether it 121 00:06:37,760 --> 00:06:39,960 Speaker 7: be US bases or the Gulf Fire up States, whatever. 122 00:06:40,520 --> 00:06:45,119 Speaker 7: This is such a tragic, tragic, senseless and needless loss 123 00:06:45,160 --> 00:06:46,680 Speaker 7: of life that we're seeing right now. 124 00:06:46,920 --> 00:06:49,960 Speaker 8: Voters have already arrived here to a polling side in 125 00:06:50,040 --> 00:06:52,400 Speaker 8: Dallas as they are preparing to cast their votes in 126 00:06:52,440 --> 00:06:57,440 Speaker 8: two increasingly competitive primaries in this race for US Senate. 127 00:06:57,480 --> 00:07:00,680 Speaker 8: On the Republican side, you have Senator John Hornan who 128 00:07:00,720 --> 00:07:03,960 Speaker 8: is fighting for political survivor survival as he is facing 129 00:07:03,960 --> 00:07:07,640 Speaker 8: a challenge from the state's conservative Attorney General Ken Paxton 130 00:07:07,960 --> 00:07:11,520 Speaker 8: and Congressman Wesley Hunt. Now, this has been one of 131 00:07:11,560 --> 00:07:15,160 Speaker 8: the most closely watched races of this cycle so far, 132 00:07:15,320 --> 00:07:17,720 Speaker 8: and it's already drawn in a lot of money. The 133 00:07:17,720 --> 00:07:21,080 Speaker 8: GOP and the Democratic primaries here in Texas amount to 134 00:07:21,080 --> 00:07:25,840 Speaker 8: the most expensive Senate primaries in US history. Now, Cornyan 135 00:07:26,160 --> 00:07:29,240 Speaker 8: has tried to argue that some of the political baggage 136 00:07:29,280 --> 00:07:34,080 Speaker 8: surrounding Ken Paxton, relating to his past legal and personal scandals, 137 00:07:34,240 --> 00:07:37,600 Speaker 8: that that would be detrimental to Republicans here in Texas 138 00:07:37,600 --> 00:07:41,400 Speaker 8: in November if he is nominated. But Paxton so far 139 00:07:41,880 --> 00:07:45,000 Speaker 8: has maintained a lot of support with a conservative base 140 00:07:45,080 --> 00:07:49,000 Speaker 8: here in Texas. Now polling has shown this three way 141 00:07:49,040 --> 00:07:53,800 Speaker 8: contest incredibly tight, and if no Republican receives a fifty 142 00:07:53,840 --> 00:07:57,960 Speaker 8: percent of majority, this will head to a late May runoff. 143 00:07:57,960 --> 00:08:01,320 Speaker 9: We've been covering the varying explanation offered by Donald Trump 144 00:08:01,400 --> 00:08:05,320 Speaker 9: and his cabinet for the war in Iran. While hours 145 00:08:05,360 --> 00:08:08,040 Speaker 9: after launching the war in Iran, Donald Trump took to 146 00:08:08,080 --> 00:08:11,080 Speaker 9: social media and seemed to link the military strikes to 147 00:08:11,120 --> 00:08:14,920 Speaker 9: conspiracy theories that Iran was somehow responsible for his defeat 148 00:08:14,920 --> 00:08:18,600 Speaker 9: in the twenty twenty presidential election. Those claims could be 149 00:08:18,680 --> 00:08:23,480 Speaker 9: dismissed as wakadu or bogus, but our next guest warns 150 00:08:23,520 --> 00:08:26,040 Speaker 9: that it is actually a sign of what Donald Trump 151 00:08:26,160 --> 00:08:29,240 Speaker 9: will try to do in our upcoming elections. Marc Olias 152 00:08:29,280 --> 00:08:32,520 Speaker 9: writes in Democracy Dock at this quote, donald Trump is 153 00:08:32,520 --> 00:08:34,960 Speaker 9: planning to use his attack on Iran to justify a 154 00:08:35,000 --> 00:08:37,719 Speaker 9: power grab over voting in the twenty twenty six midterms. 155 00:08:38,080 --> 00:08:40,640 Speaker 9: He adds that Trump's posts about Iran and the immediate 156 00:08:40,679 --> 00:08:44,200 Speaker 9: aftermath of the strikes are quote just the latest instance 157 00:08:44,240 --> 00:08:47,840 Speaker 9: of Trump citing foreign interference as a motivation or justification 158 00:08:47,960 --> 00:08:51,520 Speaker 9: for unilateral executive action. Trump is setting the stage to 159 00:08:51,559 --> 00:08:55,160 Speaker 9: claim extraordinary powers to take over the twenty twenty six elections, 160 00:08:55,480 --> 00:08:58,240 Speaker 9: from banning mail and voting to imposing new obstacles to 161 00:08:58,320 --> 00:09:01,480 Speaker 9: voting registration. All of this will be justified on the 162 00:09:01,480 --> 00:09:04,960 Speaker 9: grounds of national security, an area where presidents enjoy their 163 00:09:05,000 --> 00:09:08,920 Speaker 9: broadest powers and typically receive the greatest deference from the courts. 164 00:09:09,679 --> 00:09:12,600 Speaker 7: What's clear to me is that Benjamin Netanyahu, who has 165 00:09:12,640 --> 00:09:15,960 Speaker 7: long wanted to have this type of military operation against Iran, 166 00:09:16,480 --> 00:09:19,240 Speaker 7: he was able to bring Trump along and got him 167 00:09:19,280 --> 00:09:22,080 Speaker 7: to engage in something like this. The rationale that Marco 168 00:09:22,160 --> 00:09:24,439 Speaker 7: Rupio gave today, well, they were going to get hit, 169 00:09:24,559 --> 00:09:26,280 Speaker 7: so we knew that they were going to lash back, 170 00:09:26,320 --> 00:09:26,840 Speaker 7: and that's why. 171 00:09:26,800 --> 00:09:27,840 Speaker 10: We had to hit them. 172 00:09:28,360 --> 00:09:30,560 Speaker 7: We could have said to the Israelis, you do not 173 00:09:30,840 --> 00:09:32,440 Speaker 7: go forward because we're not going to help you. 174 00:09:32,960 --> 00:09:35,240 Speaker 5: Don't we have leverage over Israel. 175 00:09:34,960 --> 00:09:37,920 Speaker 7: You would think, yes, we're going ahead. And with these 176 00:09:37,960 --> 00:09:40,800 Speaker 7: types of strikes when we were engaged in negotiations with 177 00:09:40,840 --> 00:09:43,560 Speaker 7: Iran for the second time in a year, and for 178 00:09:43,600 --> 00:09:45,960 Speaker 7: the second time of the year, while negotiations are underway, 179 00:09:46,080 --> 00:09:50,960 Speaker 7: they get hit. So clearly there's been deception to the Irans. 180 00:09:51,480 --> 00:09:55,120 Speaker 7: And my view is that Donald Trump, irrespective of the intelligence, 181 00:09:55,200 --> 00:09:58,520 Speaker 7: irrespective of the fact that the nuclear program has been 182 00:09:58,760 --> 00:10:02,200 Speaker 7: damaged and hobbled eificantly a results less attacks, they are 183 00:10:02,280 --> 00:10:04,600 Speaker 7: making things up about what the Iranians are doing. 184 00:10:05,280 --> 00:10:08,880 Speaker 11: And when they say that you know the regime is tottering, 185 00:10:08,920 --> 00:10:09,400 Speaker 11: it's not. 186 00:10:09,840 --> 00:10:11,839 Speaker 7: Yes, there are a lot of Irunnan people who despise 187 00:10:12,480 --> 00:10:16,200 Speaker 7: the regime and hated Kamene and are glad that he's dead, 188 00:10:16,840 --> 00:10:20,920 Speaker 7: but also the regime and the theocracy have a lot 189 00:10:20,960 --> 00:10:22,640 Speaker 7: of people who supported them. 190 00:10:22,679 --> 00:10:25,400 Speaker 12: It's a country of over ninety two million people, and 191 00:10:25,520 --> 00:10:27,640 Speaker 12: so they have their equivalent of in the rural areas, 192 00:10:27,679 --> 00:10:30,080 Speaker 12: conservative areas, and so the MAGA equivalent and in Iran 193 00:10:30,400 --> 00:10:32,960 Speaker 12: that really has seen what the United States is doing 194 00:10:33,080 --> 00:10:36,600 Speaker 12: now as just one more example of the United States 195 00:10:36,760 --> 00:10:40,480 Speaker 12: carrying out violent attacks inside of the Middle East and 196 00:10:40,559 --> 00:10:41,480 Speaker 12: directed against Iran. 197 00:10:41,840 --> 00:10:45,679 Speaker 13: Well, very serious stuff, because he's going to package all 198 00:10:45,720 --> 00:10:48,719 Speaker 13: of this up for two audiences. The first is his 199 00:10:48,920 --> 00:10:53,040 Speaker 13: aggrievement audience, the people who want a permission structure to 200 00:10:53,240 --> 00:10:55,240 Speaker 13: deny the outcome of elections that they lost. 201 00:10:55,440 --> 00:10:57,240 Speaker 11: And then the second is, as I point out in the. 202 00:10:57,559 --> 00:11:01,600 Speaker 13: Piece, the courts, because the court it's our most deferential 203 00:11:01,880 --> 00:11:04,800 Speaker 13: like to presidents when it comes to foreign policy and 204 00:11:04,840 --> 00:11:05,480 Speaker 13: national security. 205 00:11:05,559 --> 00:11:08,360 Speaker 11: Like that's a real thing, and we have seen a 206 00:11:08,440 --> 00:11:09,520 Speaker 11: lot of damage be done. 207 00:11:09,559 --> 00:11:11,560 Speaker 13: Look at the migrants who are shipped to the gulag 208 00:11:11,640 --> 00:11:15,280 Speaker 13: in El Salvador. You know, until that unraveled, there's a 209 00:11:15,280 --> 00:11:17,440 Speaker 13: lot of damage done to those people. So I don't 210 00:11:17,480 --> 00:11:19,480 Speaker 13: think this is going to be a smooth process. I'm 211 00:11:19,559 --> 00:11:21,640 Speaker 13: optimistic that in the end we will we will fight 212 00:11:21,760 --> 00:11:23,480 Speaker 13: this back and we will win in court as we 213 00:11:23,559 --> 00:11:26,520 Speaker 13: did in the aftermath of twenty twenty. 214 00:11:26,559 --> 00:11:28,360 Speaker 11: But everybody needs to keep in mind that. 215 00:11:29,000 --> 00:11:31,120 Speaker 13: You know, there were moments of touch and go in 216 00:11:31,200 --> 00:11:33,120 Speaker 13: twenty twenty, and there were moments of touch and go 217 00:11:33,280 --> 00:11:35,840 Speaker 13: in the post election twenty twenty, and ultimately, when Donald 218 00:11:35,880 --> 00:11:38,400 Speaker 13: Trump didn't prevail in court, he incited a violet mob 219 00:11:38,480 --> 00:11:39,880 Speaker 13: to storm the Capitol. 220 00:11:39,880 --> 00:11:41,480 Speaker 11: To try to overturn a free and fair election. 221 00:11:41,640 --> 00:11:45,199 Speaker 13: So you know, I'm optimistic, but I'm also realistic, and 222 00:11:45,800 --> 00:11:49,160 Speaker 13: we need Nicole. We need to make sure that all 223 00:11:49,200 --> 00:11:52,600 Speaker 13: of their institutions and all of our leaders have their 224 00:11:53,200 --> 00:11:58,440 Speaker 13: spines stealed. Like they are not driven to pessimism, they're 225 00:11:58,480 --> 00:12:02,280 Speaker 13: not driven to hopelessness, but they're also not blinded to 226 00:12:02,440 --> 00:12:03,440 Speaker 13: what is in front. 227 00:12:03,240 --> 00:12:04,880 Speaker 11: Of them and the challenges we're going to face. 228 00:12:07,679 --> 00:12:12,800 Speaker 3: This is the primal scream of a dying regime. Pray 229 00:12:12,920 --> 00:12:16,319 Speaker 3: for our enemies, because we're going to medieval on these people. 230 00:12:17,559 --> 00:12:18,840 Speaker 11: He's not got a free shot. 231 00:12:18,920 --> 00:12:22,319 Speaker 14: All these networks lying about the people, the people have 232 00:12:22,400 --> 00:12:23,400 Speaker 14: had a belly full of it. 233 00:12:23,840 --> 00:12:24,880 Speaker 11: I know you don't like hearing that. 234 00:12:25,240 --> 00:12:26,760 Speaker 3: I know you tried to do everything in the world. 235 00:12:26,600 --> 00:12:27,880 Speaker 11: To stop that, but you're not going to stop it. 236 00:12:27,960 --> 00:12:30,120 Speaker 15: It's going to happen, and where do people like that 237 00:12:30,320 --> 00:12:34,520 Speaker 15: go to share the big line Mega media.

Right, and this is the 333 00:17:44,400 --> 00:17:47,359 Speaker 3: reason that the British first, and then we put the 334 00:17:47,400 --> 00:17:48,080 Speaker 3: fifth fleet there. 335 00:17:48,119 --> 00:17:51,840 Speaker 17: Sir, yeah, one hundred percent. I should say the bridge 336 00:17:51,880 --> 00:17:55,160 Speaker 17: exists for two reasons. One is so the Saudi military 337 00:17:55,240 --> 00:17:58,240 Speaker 17: can roll in. The second is so all the Saudis 338 00:17:59,320 --> 00:18:02,240 Speaker 17: around DA can drive across the bridge to drink and 339 00:18:02,400 --> 00:18:05,320 Speaker 17: party at the end of the day. So you come 340 00:18:05,400 --> 00:18:09,480 Speaker 17: across the bridge to Bahrain and the rules are totally different. 341 00:18:09,520 --> 00:18:12,320 Speaker 17: Then you go back and return to being developed when 342 00:18:12,359 --> 00:18:13,280 Speaker 17: you return to Saudi. 343 00:18:14,200 --> 00:18:16,879 Speaker 3: John Brennan was was it? John Brennan. I know he's 344 00:18:16,880 --> 00:18:18,879 Speaker 3: an analyst, but he did that merger when he ran 345 00:18:19,000 --> 00:18:22,040 Speaker 3: caa merging the analysts with the guys like you, the operatives, 346 00:18:22,400 --> 00:18:25,560 Speaker 3: the House of Lords at House of Commons together, and 347 00:18:25,840 --> 00:18:27,760 Speaker 3: I guess the House of Commons end up. He went 348 00:18:27,920 --> 00:18:30,399 Speaker 3: to House of Commons to run things, not the operators. 349 00:18:30,880 --> 00:18:33,920 Speaker 3: But wasn't he station chief career? Wasn't he station chief 350 00:18:34,080 --> 00:18:38,720 Speaker 3: in Riod? Was he station chief to the saudiast Yeah? 351 00:18:38,760 --> 00:18:41,760 Speaker 17: One hundred percent, even though he was a DII analyst. Look, 352 00:18:43,400 --> 00:18:46,520 Speaker 17: he's been sympathy sympathetic to the enemies of the United 353 00:18:46,520 --> 00:18:52,399 Speaker 17: States forever and did his very best to destroy the 354 00:18:52,520 --> 00:18:56,440 Speaker 17: capability of the CIA to do its job. And unfortunately 355 00:18:56,560 --> 00:18:58,480 Speaker 17: many of the things that he did still have not 356 00:18:58,640 --> 00:19:02,840 Speaker 17: been undone. He subjected the Directorate of Operations to control 357 00:19:03,480 --> 00:19:07,119 Speaker 17: by a coup, a corporate operating officer, bringing that straight 358 00:19:07,160 --> 00:19:09,840 Speaker 17: from the corporate model. And actually the first guy he 359 00:19:09,920 --> 00:19:13,639 Speaker 17: appointed to be coup wasn't even a CIA officer of 360 00:19:13,760 --> 00:19:16,520 Speaker 17: any kind. He literally just plucked him out of the 361 00:19:16,600 --> 00:19:21,760 Speaker 17: corporate world and made everybody, including operations, subordinate to this 362 00:19:21,920 --> 00:19:24,720 Speaker 17: guy who'd never done the job. Give you an idea 363 00:19:24,760 --> 00:19:29,040 Speaker 17: of how thoroughly he just destroyed the capability of the organization. 364 00:19:30,480 --> 00:19:33,040 Speaker 3: It's fascinating Brennan and other guys like this. You see 365 00:19:33,080 --> 00:19:34,919 Speaker 3: him in the media, you see in these opinion pieces, 366 00:19:34,960 --> 00:19:38,120 Speaker 3: you see him on podcasts and these talk shows there. 367 00:19:38,720 --> 00:19:40,919 Speaker 3: I don't want to say fanning the flames, but they 368 00:19:41,000 --> 00:19:44,119 Speaker 3: look like they're all down for and expanded war. So 369 00:19:44,359 --> 00:19:47,320 Speaker 3: President Trump is obviously controlling this right now. But these 370 00:19:47,359 --> 00:19:51,359 Speaker 3: are the type of things in the law of undertended consequences, 371 00:19:51,480 --> 00:19:54,119 Speaker 3: which is what war is all about. This could have 372 00:19:54,119 --> 00:19:56,800 Speaker 3: been tastasize and one of the reasons that you've got 373 00:19:56,880 --> 00:20:01,040 Speaker 3: guys now for these golf emirates in the States, and 374 00:20:01,119 --> 00:20:03,080 Speaker 3: of course NBZ is a guy that likes to get 375 00:20:03,119 --> 00:20:07,000 Speaker 3: it on too, But this could really start to particularly 376 00:20:07,040 --> 00:20:09,880 Speaker 3: as people are pushed and they're pushed by Western advisors 377 00:20:10,760 --> 00:20:12,800 Speaker 3: that have worked for them, have been consultants of them 378 00:20:12,880 --> 00:20:16,520 Speaker 3: for years and not even associated currently with the Trump 379 00:20:16,520 --> 00:20:18,000 Speaker 3: administration of the US government. 380 00:20:18,040 --> 00:20:22,119 Speaker 17: Sir, Yeah, well, Steve, look, I think it's it's crystal 381 00:20:22,160 --> 00:20:24,479 Speaker 17: clear that there's a bunch of people here, I mean 382 00:20:24,520 --> 00:20:28,199 Speaker 17: a bunch of people outside of Iran who want us 383 00:20:28,320 --> 00:20:31,400 Speaker 17: to lose, however you define that, they want this thing 384 00:20:31,520 --> 00:20:35,480 Speaker 17: to get ugly and bad and for us to take losses, and. 385 00:20:38,400 --> 00:20:40,200 Speaker 10: They are cheering, cheering for the enemy. 386 00:20:40,200 --> 00:20:42,919 Speaker 17: I mean, I note that you know the People's Forum, 387 00:20:44,240 --> 00:20:47,240 Speaker 17: which is the so called revolutionary incubator in the heart 388 00:20:47,280 --> 00:20:50,359 Speaker 17: of Manhattan, and it's all funded by this guy nevill 389 00:20:50,480 --> 00:20:54,000 Speaker 17: Roy Singham who's a CCP asset and operates out of Shanghai. 390 00:20:54,680 --> 00:20:58,280 Speaker 17: I mean, from from moment one, these guys and you 391 00:20:58,359 --> 00:21:00,639 Speaker 17: know a code Pink and all of these folks have 392 00:21:00,760 --> 00:21:05,680 Speaker 17: been out in the streets in fully funded foreign connected 393 00:21:05,840 --> 00:21:09,560 Speaker 17: efforts to underline our war effort. They are one hund 394 00:21:10,520 --> 00:21:13,200 Speaker 17: On the other side, there are major players here that 395 00:21:13,359 --> 00:21:14,280 Speaker 17: want us to lose. 396 00:21:16,000 --> 00:21:18,080 Speaker 3: Hangar. For a second, Sam, I want to stay on 397 00:21:18,160 --> 00:21:21,240 Speaker 3: this and tell her thing a second, Brandon, Whykert updates. 398 00:21:21,280 --> 00:21:24,080 Speaker 3: You've had your hand on the pulse here, particularly the 399 00:21:24,200 --> 00:21:29,040 Speaker 3: logistics chain and weapons systems and actual what you have 400 00:21:29,200 --> 00:21:32,800 Speaker 3: to deliver because they are going through the military under 401 00:21:32,920 --> 00:21:35,680 Speaker 3: Cane and President Trump is going through a pretty methodical 402 00:21:36,440 --> 00:21:40,520 Speaker 3: takedown of degradation first and leading to destruction. But some 403 00:21:40,680 --> 00:21:43,679 Speaker 3: of our best allies, like the Koreans and the Japanese 404 00:21:43,760 --> 00:21:47,119 Speaker 3: are noticing, Hey, you're you're putting a call on folks 405 00:21:47,840 --> 00:21:52,280 Speaker 3: to ship thads patriots, et cetera into the region, and 406 00:21:52,600 --> 00:21:55,680 Speaker 3: they're sitting there going, well, hang over a second. The 407 00:21:56,200 --> 00:21:59,080 Speaker 3: main thing is Captain Fanel says, the Chinese Camrast party 408 00:21:59,200 --> 00:22:02,000 Speaker 3: is right here. Uh, maybe we shouldn't do that. Your 409 00:22:02,040 --> 00:22:03,880 Speaker 3: thoughts on all of First of all, the in what's 410 00:22:03,920 --> 00:22:07,119 Speaker 3: happening in region, and then let's expand it out well. 411 00:22:07,040 --> 00:22:09,760 Speaker 14: In region, as you point out, you know the the 412 00:22:10,040 --> 00:22:13,480 Speaker 14: US military has with the Israeli, well primarily the Israelis, 413 00:22:13,520 --> 00:22:17,400 Speaker 14: as we're finding out, with US support, we have degraded 414 00:22:17,720 --> 00:22:21,240 Speaker 14: a lot of capabilities. Obviously, we assassinated many of their leaders. 415 00:22:21,440 --> 00:22:24,320 Speaker 14: We got the Ayatola. To me, that's mission accomplished. We 416 00:22:24,320 --> 00:22:27,000 Speaker 14: can come home. But this thing's continuing. That gets us 417 00:22:27,040 --> 00:22:30,680 Speaker 14: into the bad. The bad is clearly we are depleting 418 00:22:30,880 --> 00:22:35,399 Speaker 14: our stockpiles in the sentcom Aoar a lot faster than 419 00:22:35,480 --> 00:22:38,200 Speaker 14: even what was originally warned by General Caine. 420 00:22:38,280 --> 00:22:38,800 Speaker 16: Last week. 421 00:22:39,920 --> 00:22:42,359 Speaker 3: I was told that let me, let's go to Jack Keane. 422 00:22:42,359 --> 00:22:46,520 Speaker 3: You know Jack and Will Caine had that. Oh yeah, 423 00:22:46,880 --> 00:22:49,720 Speaker 3: but but but if you go back to look at Jack, okay, 424 00:22:49,760 --> 00:22:52,600 Speaker 3: and he knows the president very well. Man, Yeah, quite frankly, 425 00:22:52,680 --> 00:22:55,520 Speaker 3: he was a guy we offered a very senior job too. 426 00:22:55,560 --> 00:22:57,800 Speaker 3: He really wanted him more than Mattis to be Secretary 427 00:22:57,840 --> 00:23:00,960 Speaker 3: Defense or National Security Advisor, but for I think his 428 00:23:01,040 --> 00:23:02,920 Speaker 3: wife's illness, he couldn't do it in the first term. 429 00:23:03,320 --> 00:23:05,359 Speaker 3: He's a guy that President really thinks the world of 430 00:23:05,520 --> 00:23:08,119 Speaker 3: and he's obviously got a real neo Khan and been 431 00:23:08,200 --> 00:23:10,640 Speaker 3: in the region forever. But when he talked you talk 432 00:23:10,680 --> 00:23:14,879 Speaker 3: about degradation, what Fanelle and Kane are talking about is 433 00:23:14,960 --> 00:23:18,120 Speaker 3: a systematic stripping that he says they can never come 434 00:23:18,200 --> 00:23:22,320 Speaker 3: back from this, that they will be essentially militarily fairly 435 00:23:22,400 --> 00:23:25,520 Speaker 3: sophisticated day but in the Stone Age when you finish 436 00:23:25,640 --> 00:23:28,520 Speaker 3: with them. Is that and that President Trump seems like 437 00:23:29,119 --> 00:23:32,560 Speaker 3: with raising Kine, they're going up the escalatory ladder to 438 00:23:32,680 --> 00:23:34,560 Speaker 3: field strip this so they can never rebuild it. 439 00:23:35,240 --> 00:23:37,080 Speaker 14: Well, that I think is their plan, and I think 440 00:23:37,119 --> 00:23:39,760 Speaker 14: we've been effective in some ways. But just to be clear, 441 00:23:40,240 --> 00:23:43,639 Speaker 14: the objective was regime change. The regime is holding on, 442 00:23:44,200 --> 00:23:47,320 Speaker 14: and we're finding out now with these missile strikes they've 443 00:23:47,359 --> 00:23:51,160 Speaker 14: been able to expand and do even more complex strikes 444 00:23:51,359 --> 00:23:54,800 Speaker 14: on targets not just in Israel or against the US 445 00:23:55,040 --> 00:23:57,359 Speaker 14: in the region, but they're expanding it now to an 446 00:23:57,520 --> 00:24:00,760 Speaker 14: entirely regional war that's now even rope in the French 447 00:24:00,840 --> 00:24:02,320 Speaker 14: and the British as we're finding out. 448 00:24:02,680 --> 00:24:05,320 Speaker 16: So this really could be a world you know, quote 449 00:24:05,400 --> 00:24:08,160 Speaker 16: unquote world war because of all the powers involved. 450 00:24:08,200 --> 00:24:12,080 Speaker 14: So to me, we have degraded the regime absolutely, We've 451 00:24:12,200 --> 00:24:15,119 Speaker 14: scored some key victories, like I said with killing the Ayatola, 452 00:24:15,520 --> 00:24:18,160 Speaker 14: But the command and control structure, while it may be degraded, 453 00:24:18,560 --> 00:24:21,840 Speaker 14: is decentralized and hardened enough where they are still able 454 00:24:21,960 --> 00:24:24,320 Speaker 14: to not only continue fighting, but we are seeing them 455 00:24:24,400 --> 00:24:27,800 Speaker 14: expand Tel Aviv my understanding is was pounded. 456 00:24:27,520 --> 00:24:29,800 Speaker 16: For eight hours last night. Eight hours. 457 00:24:29,840 --> 00:24:34,600 Speaker 14: They were pounded by increasingly sophisticated and lethal missiles fired 458 00:24:34,640 --> 00:24:38,520 Speaker 14: by these Iranian units. So to me, we haven't gotten 459 00:24:38,560 --> 00:24:41,200 Speaker 14: the kill shot in The Iranians are still fighting and 460 00:24:41,240 --> 00:24:44,440 Speaker 14: they're upping the ante every single day. So this is 461 00:24:44,480 --> 00:24:46,680 Speaker 14: why we are having to pull on those stockpiles. Now 462 00:24:47,040 --> 00:24:50,240 Speaker 14: we're draining scent COM's stockpiles, I think faster than even 463 00:24:50,359 --> 00:24:51,160 Speaker 14: was anticipated. 464 00:24:51,440 --> 00:24:53,480 Speaker 16: And now we're pivoting and going to the Asians and 465 00:24:53,560 --> 00:24:55,280 Speaker 16: saying we need our stuff back. 466 00:24:55,680 --> 00:24:58,000 Speaker 14: And as I noted to you before we started, the 467 00:24:58,160 --> 00:25:01,040 Speaker 14: South Korean press is running this quote from a South 468 00:25:01,119 --> 00:25:05,680 Speaker 14: Korean political leader saying that we feel betrayed by the Americans, 469 00:25:05,800 --> 00:25:08,680 Speaker 14: and now the Japanese are getting skittish because they're worried. 470 00:25:08,720 --> 00:25:11,439 Speaker 14: After South Korea gives over those systems, it's not going 471 00:25:11,480 --> 00:25:13,480 Speaker 14: to be enough, and the Americans going to come knock 472 00:25:13,480 --> 00:25:15,560 Speaker 14: into Japan next saying, hey, give. 473 00:25:15,440 --> 00:25:16,080 Speaker 16: Us your stuff. 474 00:25:16,359 --> 00:25:19,159 Speaker 14: So clearly the plan is to drain the sent com 475 00:25:19,280 --> 00:25:22,800 Speaker 14: aoar and then pivot and pull whatever we can from 476 00:25:22,880 --> 00:25:25,280 Speaker 14: Indo pey Com, which, as you note, then leaves a 477 00:25:25,480 --> 00:25:29,800 Speaker 14: gigantic gaping hole for the Chinese in Taiwan or the 478 00:25:29,880 --> 00:25:32,520 Speaker 14: South China Sea or the East China Sea to really 479 00:25:32,600 --> 00:25:35,280 Speaker 14: have some real victories over us because we don't have 480 00:25:36,040 --> 00:25:36,600 Speaker 14: more to shoot. 481 00:25:37,119 --> 00:25:39,520 Speaker 3: Let me ask you the pounding of Tel Aviv last 482 00:25:39,600 --> 00:25:42,119 Speaker 3: night also, the first wave to me looked like they 483 00:25:42,160 --> 00:25:44,480 Speaker 3: were kind of random, I shouldn't say random, kind of 484 00:25:44,520 --> 00:25:47,399 Speaker 3: pop shots. The hit on Bahrain and in some of 485 00:25:47,440 --> 00:25:49,840 Speaker 3: the golf fermts last night looked more systematic. Do you 486 00:25:49,920 --> 00:25:50,760 Speaker 3: agree that then? 487 00:25:51,040 --> 00:25:51,200 Speaker 2: Yeah? 488 00:25:51,240 --> 00:25:51,680 Speaker 3: What I want? 489 00:25:51,760 --> 00:25:54,200 Speaker 14: Yeah, what I think happened was just like the Twelve 490 00:25:54,320 --> 00:25:56,879 Speaker 14: Day War, only it happened in a shorter timeframe. So 491 00:25:57,080 --> 00:25:58,520 Speaker 14: what happened was I think we did a lot of 492 00:25:58,560 --> 00:26:00,440 Speaker 14: em interference, and I think we did a lot of 493 00:26:00,440 --> 00:26:03,280 Speaker 14: suppression of enemy air defenses, and we were in there 494 00:26:03,400 --> 00:26:07,520 Speaker 14: sort of electromagnetic you know, ooda loop there, and we 495 00:26:07,680 --> 00:26:11,200 Speaker 14: really stymied the Iranians again, but they adapted. And this 496 00:26:11,400 --> 00:26:13,280 Speaker 14: is the whole thing with the Iranians, and you have 497 00:26:13,400 --> 00:26:15,840 Speaker 14: to give them credit, is they have been preparing for 498 00:26:16,040 --> 00:26:19,040 Speaker 14: basically forty seven years for something like this, so they 499 00:26:19,119 --> 00:26:22,000 Speaker 14: have had the time to harden and to disaggregate their 500 00:26:22,040 --> 00:26:25,840 Speaker 14: capabilities enough so they are survivable for round two, three, four, 501 00:26:25,920 --> 00:26:28,679 Speaker 14: and five. And you're seeing that now. And they've now 502 00:26:28,760 --> 00:26:31,399 Speaker 14: i think, adapted to the environment and they are now 503 00:26:31,480 --> 00:26:36,119 Speaker 14: getting more operationally complex. And these guys have thousands and 504 00:26:36,240 --> 00:26:40,639 Speaker 14: thousands of sophisticated long range missiles buried deep inside missile cities. 505 00:26:41,400 --> 00:26:43,359 Speaker 3: Let's hang over for a second, because I think people 506 00:26:43,440 --> 00:26:45,639 Speaker 3: thought glad that was degraded beforehand. But we're going to 507 00:26:45,680 --> 00:26:48,840 Speaker 3: take a short commercial break. We're going to return with 508 00:26:49,000 --> 00:26:52,840 Speaker 3: the expanding nature of this war. President Trump says, you 509 00:26:52,920 --> 00:26:55,760 Speaker 3: haven't seen anything yet. The big wave is yet to come. 510 00:26:55,840 --> 00:26:57,680 Speaker 3: We'll discuss all next in the war room. 511 00:27:00,160 --> 00:27:01,920 Speaker 5: Hugh's your host, Stephen K. 512 00:27:02,160 --> 00:27:10,480 Speaker 3: Bath, so Brandon, there's footage out there. People have to 513 00:27:10,600 --> 00:27:14,560 Speaker 3: be particularly now people are being inundated with artificial intelligence, 514 00:27:14,600 --> 00:27:16,280 Speaker 3: et cetera. So it takes a while to go through it. 515 00:27:17,400 --> 00:27:20,199 Speaker 3: It looks like Tel Aviv's pounded overnight and again today, 516 00:27:20,440 --> 00:27:24,120 Speaker 3: is some of that artificial intelligence. Are you confident talking 517 00:27:24,160 --> 00:27:26,199 Speaker 3: to your sources, because I've talked to people too say 518 00:27:26,240 --> 00:27:27,119 Speaker 3: they are getting pounded. 519 00:27:27,520 --> 00:27:29,960 Speaker 14: But to make sure that, yeah, I think we're talking 520 00:27:30,000 --> 00:27:31,680 Speaker 14: to some of the same people in some cases too. 521 00:27:31,760 --> 00:27:34,800 Speaker 14: But I'm not even talking about the videos that I'm 522 00:27:34,840 --> 00:27:37,320 Speaker 14: seeing on Twitter. I'm talking about people that I know 523 00:27:37,680 --> 00:27:39,840 Speaker 14: in the region or who are part of the year 524 00:27:39,880 --> 00:27:42,440 Speaker 14: in the region and have a lot of ties. That 525 00:27:42,920 --> 00:27:46,840 Speaker 14: is not being reported officially, obviously because the Israelis won't 526 00:27:46,920 --> 00:27:49,000 Speaker 14: let that out. But there are people who are living 527 00:27:49,080 --> 00:27:52,920 Speaker 14: in Tel Aviv who are who are sharing things that 528 00:27:52,960 --> 00:27:56,600 Speaker 14: they probably shouldn't be about what's going on in the 529 00:27:56,680 --> 00:27:57,600 Speaker 14: streets and whatnot. 530 00:27:57,680 --> 00:27:58,240 Speaker 2: And it is. 531 00:27:58,600 --> 00:28:02,720 Speaker 14: It is very brutal, and I don't think Netan Yahoo 532 00:28:02,800 --> 00:28:04,400 Speaker 14: even believed it would be this bad. 533 00:28:04,560 --> 00:28:05,320 Speaker 16: But here we are. 534 00:28:06,000 --> 00:28:07,920 Speaker 3: We do know too, from the Twelve Day War, I 535 00:28:07,960 --> 00:28:09,680 Speaker 3: mean President Trump, this was one of the reasons for 536 00:28:09,760 --> 00:28:14,640 Speaker 3: the big move beforehand was that tel Aviv was tel 537 00:28:14,680 --> 00:28:18,960 Speaker 3: Aviv was was hit and hit and hit very hard 538 00:28:19,040 --> 00:28:20,680 Speaker 3: in those last couple of days before they brought the 539 00:28:20,720 --> 00:28:24,120 Speaker 3: twelve day war to an end. Also explain to people 540 00:28:24,280 --> 00:28:25,000 Speaker 3: the UDA loop. 541 00:28:25,160 --> 00:28:26,160 Speaker 10: What is the UDA loop? 542 00:28:26,200 --> 00:28:29,960 Speaker 3: Why is it so important militarily to get inside that? Sir? 543 00:28:30,359 --> 00:28:31,480 Speaker 16: Yeah, So what we. 544 00:28:31,600 --> 00:28:34,280 Speaker 14: Found in modern warfare this was a theory create It's 545 00:28:34,320 --> 00:28:36,560 Speaker 14: an acronym created by John Boyd who was an Air 546 00:28:36,600 --> 00:28:38,800 Speaker 14: Force general, real visionary. Then he went on and had 547 00:28:38,800 --> 00:28:41,280 Speaker 14: a long career in business and he came up with 548 00:28:41,360 --> 00:28:44,880 Speaker 14: this theory called the UDA loop Observe, orient the side act. 549 00:28:45,200 --> 00:28:48,719 Speaker 14: And for him it started. He started observing this phenomenon 550 00:28:49,120 --> 00:28:51,560 Speaker 14: when he was in combat flying jet planes. And I 551 00:28:51,600 --> 00:28:53,600 Speaker 14: don't remember which war he was in, but he was 552 00:28:53,640 --> 00:28:58,520 Speaker 14: flying jet planes and he realized, warfare happens very quickly today, 553 00:28:58,840 --> 00:29:01,880 Speaker 14: and you have to be able to observe, quickly, orient 554 00:29:02,000 --> 00:29:05,680 Speaker 14: your plane, decide to attack, and then attack without any hesitation, 555 00:29:06,040 --> 00:29:08,000 Speaker 14: and you've got to do it faster than the other guy. 556 00:29:08,280 --> 00:29:10,320 Speaker 14: And so he took that idea and he applied it 557 00:29:10,440 --> 00:29:13,640 Speaker 14: to thinking and to thinking about leadership and things like that, 558 00:29:13,880 --> 00:29:17,360 Speaker 14: and systems management and things like that, and he applied 559 00:29:17,400 --> 00:29:19,440 Speaker 14: it for the military, then he applied it in private sector. 560 00:29:19,520 --> 00:29:23,160 Speaker 14: But in today's world, speed kills and you've got to 561 00:29:23,200 --> 00:29:25,800 Speaker 14: not only be fast with the util loop your own 562 00:29:25,920 --> 00:29:27,400 Speaker 14: ODA loop. You have to be able to be so 563 00:29:27,640 --> 00:29:29,840 Speaker 14: fast that you can disrupt the OODA loop of the 564 00:29:29,920 --> 00:29:33,320 Speaker 14: other guy. And that's what you're seeing in modern warfare today. 565 00:29:33,680 --> 00:29:36,360 Speaker 16: You're seeing us. You know, we got the Iranians in 566 00:29:36,440 --> 00:29:39,480 Speaker 16: the first day, we got them very stymied. But the 567 00:29:39,560 --> 00:29:40,000 Speaker 16: longer the. 568 00:29:40,000 --> 00:29:42,160 Speaker 14: War has gone on, as I warned you on day one, 569 00:29:42,600 --> 00:29:46,360 Speaker 14: the Iranians are adaptive and they are starting to adapt now. Ultimately, 570 00:29:46,480 --> 00:29:48,040 Speaker 14: my hope is that we can break them in the 571 00:29:48,120 --> 00:29:51,760 Speaker 14: long run. But right now they're not broken. They're damaged, 572 00:29:51,800 --> 00:29:53,800 Speaker 14: but they're they're not broken, and they are starting to 573 00:29:53,880 --> 00:29:55,280 Speaker 14: adapt and hit back hard. 574 00:29:56,200 --> 00:29:58,000 Speaker 3: A hangar for one second, by the way, to show 575 00:29:58,040 --> 00:30:01,720 Speaker 3: that I'm the Graybeards group, the Sam Fattis's and the 576 00:30:01,760 --> 00:30:05,960 Speaker 3: Captain finels that I'm actually older. I remember getting the 577 00:30:06,040 --> 00:30:09,680 Speaker 3: John Boyd briefing in the Pentagon. I think in nineteen 578 00:30:09,760 --> 00:30:12,280 Speaker 3: eighty one eighty two we had that. I don't know, Sam, 579 00:30:12,360 --> 00:30:15,760 Speaker 3: you've seen. The briefing was like this thick because he 580 00:30:15,880 --> 00:30:18,080 Speaker 3: was kind of a madman, but he was absolutely brilliant. 581 00:30:18,120 --> 00:30:20,600 Speaker 3: It was really maneuver warfare, the uderloop. I mean, he 582 00:30:20,760 --> 00:30:23,760 Speaker 3: changed so much thinking in the Pentagon and the way 583 00:30:23,840 --> 00:30:28,880 Speaker 3: we fight Sam. The intelligence here is all important, right 584 00:30:29,400 --> 00:30:32,000 Speaker 3: with your assessment of how do you think? And I 585 00:30:32,080 --> 00:30:35,880 Speaker 3: realized you have limited access to data the classified, etc. 586 00:30:36,240 --> 00:30:39,840 Speaker 3: With keeping this non classified. Your assessment of how we're doing, 587 00:30:39,960 --> 00:30:45,040 Speaker 3: both on strategic intelligence operational intelligence. How do you think 588 00:30:45,080 --> 00:30:49,080 Speaker 3: we're doing? Because I believe some of the responses have 589 00:30:49,200 --> 00:30:52,960 Speaker 3: caught people by surprise, particularly the way the Persians went 590 00:30:53,080 --> 00:30:58,320 Speaker 3: after the Golf States during Ramadan and how the Golf 591 00:30:58,400 --> 00:31:01,479 Speaker 3: States aren't shy about about hitting back and hitting back 592 00:31:01,560 --> 00:31:04,040 Speaker 3: quickly and ask the United States, Hey, we need to 593 00:31:04,080 --> 00:31:05,880 Speaker 3: come off the chain here because we may do something 594 00:31:05,920 --> 00:31:06,360 Speaker 3: on our own. 595 00:31:08,880 --> 00:31:13,120 Speaker 17: Well, Steve, I think you know, intelligence is only as 596 00:31:13,200 --> 00:31:16,120 Speaker 17: good as I mean, you've got to have good intelligence, 597 00:31:16,160 --> 00:31:18,040 Speaker 17: but you also have to have people that are willing 598 00:31:18,120 --> 00:31:20,920 Speaker 17: to listen to the intelligence. I think the reality is 599 00:31:21,000 --> 00:31:24,320 Speaker 17: that we are way too dependent upon intelligence has been 600 00:31:24,400 --> 00:31:27,960 Speaker 17: provided to us from the Israelis. And look, I don't 601 00:31:27,960 --> 00:31:31,000 Speaker 17: fault the Israelis for pursuing their own national interest, because 602 00:31:31,760 --> 00:31:34,560 Speaker 17: that's what every country's supposed to do. But I think 603 00:31:34,640 --> 00:31:38,240 Speaker 17: they my personal opinion is they've put a spin on 604 00:31:38,360 --> 00:31:41,640 Speaker 17: this that we were going to schwack these guys, hit 605 00:31:41,720 --> 00:31:44,960 Speaker 17: them real hard, bomb them for a while, and then 606 00:31:45,080 --> 00:31:50,240 Speaker 17: somehow magically the regime would topple and everything would be great. 607 00:31:50,800 --> 00:31:55,040 Speaker 17: And as you know, I'm very skeptical of that from 608 00:31:55,080 --> 00:31:59,800 Speaker 17: the outsetly skeptical of it. And so now we're into 609 00:32:00,080 --> 00:32:03,880 Speaker 17: the realm of the Iranians decided to think for themselves. 610 00:32:03,960 --> 00:32:08,280 Speaker 17: The enemy gets a vote, and they have improvised and adapted. 611 00:32:08,400 --> 00:32:11,640 Speaker 17: So as Brandon was saying, you know, we've only got 612 00:32:11,800 --> 00:32:14,920 Speaker 17: X number of interceptors, so you fire the ones that 613 00:32:15,000 --> 00:32:18,720 Speaker 17: are your missiles that are most easily intercepted first and 614 00:32:18,920 --> 00:32:22,880 Speaker 17: burn up our defensive capability, and then you actually shift 615 00:32:22,960 --> 00:32:26,400 Speaker 17: into shots also they are the kill shots. And they 616 00:32:26,440 --> 00:32:29,240 Speaker 17: are also now expanding the war. They have had the 617 00:32:29,320 --> 00:32:33,560 Speaker 17: audacity to decide that they get to choose where this 618 00:32:33,760 --> 00:32:36,400 Speaker 17: is fought and how it's fought. So increasingly they're hitting 619 00:32:36,520 --> 00:32:41,000 Speaker 17: energy facilities all throughout the region, obviously with the intent 620 00:32:41,120 --> 00:32:45,040 Speaker 17: of taking oil and natural gas from the region completely 621 00:32:45,160 --> 00:32:48,080 Speaker 17: off the market, which at least temporarily they seem to 622 00:32:48,120 --> 00:32:49,200 Speaker 17: have succeeded. 623 00:32:48,760 --> 00:32:51,880 Speaker 10: In doing just because people are. 624 00:32:51,200 --> 00:32:56,080 Speaker 17: Cautious, they'll continue, they'll continue to do that. The Greeks 625 00:32:56,200 --> 00:33:00,520 Speaker 17: just arrested a guy in Athens Airport, been down in 626 00:33:00,600 --> 00:33:06,320 Speaker 17: crete surveilling Suda Suda Bay, the NATO base there, and 627 00:33:06,440 --> 00:33:08,000 Speaker 17: then he was back in Athens and I think they 628 00:33:08,040 --> 00:33:10,920 Speaker 17: were afraid he was going to skip down and they 629 00:33:11,000 --> 00:33:13,760 Speaker 17: grabbed him. In retrospect, it appears he was getting ready 630 00:33:13,800 --> 00:33:17,000 Speaker 17: to meet additional assets coming in. All of these guys 631 00:33:17,040 --> 00:33:21,120 Speaker 17: are working for the Iranians surveilling our base and crete 632 00:33:21,200 --> 00:33:26,040 Speaker 17: obviously preparatory to attacks. And in fact we've caught the Iranians. 633 00:33:25,600 --> 00:33:30,000 Speaker 10: Doing that brandon times in the past. 634 00:33:31,160 --> 00:33:37,600 Speaker 3: But brandon the drafting off that Sam said, President Trump 635 00:33:37,640 --> 00:33:41,240 Speaker 3: has been pretty adamant. Hey, this planning was for five weeks, 636 00:33:42,040 --> 00:33:45,160 Speaker 3: So in the first twenty four to forty eight hours, right, 637 00:33:45,280 --> 00:33:48,479 Speaker 3: they are going to degrade it somewhat, but he's hit 638 00:33:49,040 --> 00:33:52,040 Speaker 3: at least an initial plan put forward. They're prepared to 639 00:33:52,040 --> 00:33:54,120 Speaker 3: stay here five weeks and the President Trump's always going 640 00:33:54,160 --> 00:33:58,400 Speaker 3: to leave himself alternatives and be able to do the unpredictable. 641 00:33:59,160 --> 00:34:02,760 Speaker 3: But do you that we have the wherewithal to pound 642 00:34:02,880 --> 00:34:04,320 Speaker 3: at this level for five weeks. 643 00:34:05,160 --> 00:34:07,680 Speaker 16: No, no, I think this is one of the worst 644 00:34:07,760 --> 00:34:09,279 Speaker 16: planned operations I've seen. 645 00:34:09,360 --> 00:34:09,520 Speaker 2: Now. 646 00:34:10,320 --> 00:34:12,640 Speaker 14: I think the president they may have been telling him, yes, 647 00:34:12,719 --> 00:34:16,320 Speaker 14: we're planning for a contingency for five weeks, but remember 648 00:34:16,360 --> 00:34:18,239 Speaker 14: there was a lot of off ramps built into that 649 00:34:18,360 --> 00:34:20,759 Speaker 14: five week plan. Jack Pisobic was on the first day 650 00:34:21,120 --> 00:34:23,239 Speaker 14: this war started talking about they had it clear to 651 00:34:23,320 --> 00:34:26,560 Speaker 14: these planned pauses. We haven't had any pause yet. You know, 652 00:34:26,680 --> 00:34:30,360 Speaker 14: we are very much in a very high tempo conflict. 653 00:34:30,440 --> 00:34:33,560 Speaker 14: And I think that the President and Netanyah, who really believed, 654 00:34:34,040 --> 00:34:36,400 Speaker 14: and I think the President was following netanya Who's lead 655 00:34:36,480 --> 00:34:39,360 Speaker 14: on this, that hey, if you kill if you whack himane, 656 00:34:39,520 --> 00:34:41,560 Speaker 14: the whole regime will fall like a house of cards, 657 00:34:41,840 --> 00:34:43,960 Speaker 14: because that's what the Israelis think. The Israelis have this 658 00:34:44,080 --> 00:34:48,640 Speaker 14: assassination mindset. They're crazy about assassinations, and when it works, 659 00:34:48,719 --> 00:34:50,360 Speaker 14: it works, but when it doesn't, you now have a 660 00:34:50,440 --> 00:34:53,319 Speaker 14: situation where you've kicked over the hornet's nest and all 661 00:34:53,400 --> 00:34:55,680 Speaker 14: the hornets are coming after you and your friends, and 662 00:34:55,800 --> 00:34:57,640 Speaker 14: it turns out you don't have enough stuff to whack 663 00:34:57,719 --> 00:35:00,719 Speaker 14: him down. And so I think that you know, I'm 664 00:35:00,760 --> 00:35:04,000 Speaker 14: hopeful the Americans will adapt like the Iranians have done 665 00:35:04,080 --> 00:35:06,480 Speaker 14: in the next iteration. But right now, I think this 666 00:35:06,680 --> 00:35:10,360 Speaker 14: is a very badly planned operation, and I think that 667 00:35:10,640 --> 00:35:15,040 Speaker 14: the President should declare victory now and come home and say, hey, 668 00:35:15,160 --> 00:35:17,960 Speaker 14: I took care of the problem. It's over, because if 669 00:35:18,000 --> 00:35:20,560 Speaker 14: this goes on longer, the Iranians have a They're an 670 00:35:20,600 --> 00:35:24,880 Speaker 14: asymmetrical power. They have unconventional capabilities that are global. A 671 00:35:24,960 --> 00:35:27,880 Speaker 14: Saudi official told me in twenty eighteen that Iran was 672 00:35:27,880 --> 00:35:31,400 Speaker 14: a paper tiger with steel claws. Those steel claws today, Steve, 673 00:35:31,440 --> 00:35:33,800 Speaker 14: are extended, and they're slashing heart at our people and 674 00:35:33,880 --> 00:35:36,120 Speaker 14: our friends in the region. And our friends are getting 675 00:35:36,120 --> 00:35:38,520 Speaker 14: angry at us because they think we started this thing. 676 00:35:38,880 --> 00:35:41,040 Speaker 14: Well we kind of did, so I think it's you're 677 00:35:41,040 --> 00:35:41,840 Speaker 14: not well planned. 678 00:35:42,320 --> 00:35:46,200 Speaker 3: You heard some well you heard some last week, some 679 00:35:46,360 --> 00:35:48,560 Speaker 3: leaks from the Pentagon. It was put down immediately, but 680 00:35:48,680 --> 00:35:52,440 Speaker 3: that even general reason Kane was saying, hey, Steve. 681 00:35:52,520 --> 00:35:55,040 Speaker 14: They had to fire Fred Kotcher because he had the 682 00:35:55,160 --> 00:35:57,480 Speaker 14: balls to go out and say, hey, my boss is 683 00:35:57,520 --> 00:36:01,000 Speaker 14: warning the president, and the President's not listening. So Kocher 684 00:36:01,080 --> 00:36:03,280 Speaker 14: got host and I'm talking to people at the Pentagon 685 00:36:03,360 --> 00:36:06,200 Speaker 14: saying that was not Kotra acting alone, that Dan Kane 686 00:36:06,320 --> 00:36:09,640 Speaker 14: asked him to do that for him. So there's a 687 00:36:09,719 --> 00:36:12,680 Speaker 14: lot of problems from the uniform military side, and they're 688 00:36:12,680 --> 00:36:15,080 Speaker 14: afraid to say it publicly or to the president. So 689 00:36:15,120 --> 00:36:17,239 Speaker 14: they're doing this leak thing that Colin Powell used to 690 00:36:17,320 --> 00:36:21,160 Speaker 14: do during the Iraq War. And you know, this is 691 00:36:21,719 --> 00:36:24,320 Speaker 14: where we are right now. The uniform military leadership is 692 00:36:24,440 --> 00:36:27,279 Speaker 14: not on board with this, not as it's going on, 693 00:36:27,480 --> 00:36:28,440 Speaker 14: not as it's executed. 694 00:36:28,480 --> 00:36:31,560 Speaker 3: I should say, if you still have the big wave 695 00:36:31,640 --> 00:36:34,239 Speaker 3: to come, because we've been you know, Rubio said this, 696 00:36:34,520 --> 00:36:37,200 Speaker 3: I think Pete he heg Seth has said it. The 697 00:36:37,280 --> 00:36:39,920 Speaker 3: President's definitely said it a big wave. If you do 698 00:36:40,160 --> 00:36:41,960 Speaker 3: have this big wave that comes in the next twenty 699 00:36:42,000 --> 00:36:44,520 Speaker 3: four or forty eight hours and you begin to see 700 00:36:44,600 --> 00:36:46,799 Speaker 3: the uprising of the Persian people, because the one thing 701 00:36:46,840 --> 00:36:51,280 Speaker 3: we haven't seen is a mass uprising against the regime 702 00:36:51,360 --> 00:36:53,040 Speaker 3: in the streets. And now part of that is thirty 703 00:36:53,120 --> 00:36:55,000 Speaker 3: thousand of them or twenty thousand of them were killed 704 00:36:55,520 --> 00:36:58,080 Speaker 3: four weeks ago. I'm sure a lot of their leaders 705 00:36:58,120 --> 00:36:59,880 Speaker 3: of that, but also people look took that as an 706 00:37:00,040 --> 00:37:02,960 Speaker 3: example that hey, uh, these guys are gonna play hardball. 707 00:37:03,080 --> 00:37:03,200 Speaker 4: Now. 708 00:37:03,239 --> 00:37:05,600 Speaker 3: They're backs to the wall because I think the regime 709 00:37:05,640 --> 00:37:10,440 Speaker 3: and regime elements understand it's uh that that the forces 710 00:37:10,440 --> 00:37:13,719 Speaker 3: are rayed against them, the Americans, the Israelis now, uh, 711 00:37:13,960 --> 00:37:16,719 Speaker 3: Saudi Arabia UAE, they want them graveyard dead. 712 00:37:17,360 --> 00:37:17,480 Speaker 2: Uh. 713 00:37:17,600 --> 00:37:19,440 Speaker 3: So they're kind of backed into a corner. But do 714 00:37:19,760 --> 00:37:21,680 Speaker 3: you think that your part of it is to come 715 00:37:21,840 --> 00:37:24,040 Speaker 3: in with this massive wave and see if you get 716 00:37:24,160 --> 00:37:27,280 Speaker 3: the uprising that President Trump has warned over and over again. 717 00:37:27,880 --> 00:37:31,200 Speaker 3: Hey guys, it's you. It's your mission to overthrow these guys. 718 00:37:31,239 --> 00:37:33,440 Speaker 3: At the end, we can't do it and won't do it. 719 00:37:33,560 --> 00:37:36,120 Speaker 14: Your thoughts, Yeah, I'm gonna have to bounce after this, 720 00:37:36,360 --> 00:37:39,000 Speaker 14: but I think that's the hope, and I don't think that, 721 00:37:39,440 --> 00:37:41,480 Speaker 14: uh it's gonna work according to plan. 722 00:37:41,560 --> 00:37:44,279 Speaker 16: I hope it does, but uh, I don't think it will. 723 00:37:44,360 --> 00:37:45,320 Speaker 16: But I gotta bounce. 724 00:37:45,400 --> 00:37:47,680 Speaker 3: Now, go Brandon. Where do people go to get your 725 00:37:47,719 --> 00:37:49,960 Speaker 3: book on the Persians? And where do they go to 726 00:37:50,000 --> 00:37:50,799 Speaker 3: get anywhere? 727 00:37:50,840 --> 00:37:53,680 Speaker 14: Books are sold? Anywhere books are sold?

I do 734 00:38:10,480 --> 00:38:14,719 Speaker 3: believe people thought that the Kamanee taking out the Ietola 735 00:38:14,800 --> 00:38:16,560 Speaker 3: might have had a bigger impact. But do you see 736 00:38:16,680 --> 00:38:20,600 Speaker 3: any Do you see anything in the streets, given the 737 00:38:20,680 --> 00:38:22,359 Speaker 3: fact that it's used to live there, do you see 738 00:38:22,360 --> 00:38:24,160 Speaker 3: anything in the streets at Tehran that would lead you 739 00:38:24,200 --> 00:38:26,640 Speaker 3: to believe there's going to be a popular uprising right now, 740 00:38:27,120 --> 00:38:28,759 Speaker 3: that the Persian people are going to take this in 741 00:38:28,840 --> 00:38:32,960 Speaker 3: their hands and overthrow this Islamic Republic overlords. 742 00:38:35,320 --> 00:38:38,600 Speaker 17: Dave, I'm gonna echo Brandon sentiment and say upfront, I 743 00:38:38,719 --> 00:38:44,120 Speaker 17: hope I am wrong, but no, I don't see any 744 00:38:44,200 --> 00:38:47,400 Speaker 17: indication that is happening. And I have never thought that 745 00:38:47,560 --> 00:38:50,200 Speaker 17: that was a realistic prospect. As I said to you 746 00:38:50,320 --> 00:38:53,760 Speaker 17: the other day, if there is any prospect for regime change, 747 00:38:54,320 --> 00:38:58,800 Speaker 17: it'll come from some guys at senior levels effectively staging 748 00:38:58,880 --> 00:39:00,759 Speaker 17: a coup and saying we're not riding this thing to 749 00:39:00,840 --> 00:39:05,040 Speaker 17: the ground. But there's no guarantee at all that that's 750 00:39:05,080 --> 00:39:08,520 Speaker 17: going to happen either. I think a number of guests 751 00:39:08,600 --> 00:39:11,880 Speaker 17: have said over the last few days, we ought to 752 00:39:11,920 --> 00:39:16,880 Speaker 17: stop talking about regime change. Make this about degrading capabilities 753 00:39:17,080 --> 00:39:20,560 Speaker 17: and taking things off the table, and be prepared to 754 00:39:20,840 --> 00:39:24,239 Speaker 17: at some point effectively to clare victory and go home. 755 00:39:25,160 --> 00:39:27,800 Speaker 17: If we're going to ride this idea of regime change, 756 00:39:29,120 --> 00:39:31,399 Speaker 17: I think it's going to get even ugly. 757 00:39:33,640 --> 00:39:33,879 Speaker 2: Sam. 758 00:39:34,040 --> 00:39:35,439 Speaker 3: I want to give a shout out to the Bucks 759 00:39:35,480 --> 00:39:38,120 Speaker 3: County thing.

So I ran from a variety of countries 819 00:42:54,160 --> 00:42:57,799 Speaker 17: and in a variety of countries operated against the Iranians, 820 00:42:57,840 --> 00:43:02,719 Speaker 17: the IRGC mois they're in tel Service, etc. For many 821 00:43:02,840 --> 00:43:06,920 Speaker 17: years and worked with a lot of really great, very 822 00:43:07,040 --> 00:43:10,080 Speaker 17: brave Iranian patriots. I mean guys who were out of 823 00:43:10,120 --> 00:43:14,160 Speaker 17: the country, who would go back inside Tehran into the 824 00:43:14,239 --> 00:43:16,880 Speaker 17: heart of the beast on our behalf to get us 825 00:43:16,960 --> 00:43:20,520 Speaker 17: intelligence and do the things we needed done. And I'm 826 00:43:21,719 --> 00:43:26,560 Speaker 17: you know, thank God never lost a source to the Iranians, 827 00:43:26,880 --> 00:43:28,879 Speaker 17: brought them all home safe, but a lot of other 828 00:43:28,960 --> 00:43:32,160 Speaker 17: guys lost many a lot of people paid very heavily 829 00:43:32,239 --> 00:43:32,719 Speaker 17: to get us. 830 00:43:32,680 --> 00:43:33,240 Speaker 10: What we needed. 831 00:43:33,840 --> 00:43:37,400 Speaker 3: And so you understand and you have you know how 832 00:43:37,480 --> 00:43:43,360 Speaker 3: hard the Revolutionary Guard is, the Mulah is, this whole aspect, 833 00:43:43,440 --> 00:43:46,720 Speaker 3: this whole apparatus. They're not Johnny Kumle. It's an ancient 834 00:43:46,800 --> 00:43:51,480 Speaker 3: civilization and quite frankly, the bureaucratic nature of the administration 835 00:43:51,560 --> 00:43:54,440 Speaker 3: of the civilization has been passed down in an unbroken 836 00:43:54,560 --> 00:43:57,759 Speaker 3: chain generation after generation. There's one of the reasons they're 837 00:43:57,760 --> 00:44:00,560 Speaker 3: so hard to negotiate with, right as President Trump found out. 838 00:44:01,920 --> 00:44:06,560 Speaker 3: But you understand, they're not just bad. The folks that 839 00:44:06,680 --> 00:44:09,680 Speaker 3: run the Islamic Republic are not just bad ombres. They're 840 00:44:09,760 --> 00:44:11,760 Speaker 3: tough and smart, bad ombras. 841 00:44:11,800 --> 00:44:12,120 Speaker 2: Correct. 842 00:44:13,440 --> 00:44:16,360 Speaker 17: Yeah, they are brutal in a way that most Americans, 843 00:44:16,440 --> 00:44:20,000 Speaker 17: thank god, cannot comprehend because they've never been face to 844 00:44:20,080 --> 00:44:24,560 Speaker 17: face with them. They are so really efficient and detail 845 00:44:24,719 --> 00:44:27,600 Speaker 17: oriented and squared away. And if you don't have your 846 00:44:28,239 --> 00:44:31,759 Speaker 17: act together when you operate against them, well, you know, 847 00:44:31,920 --> 00:44:37,640 Speaker 17: somebody's somebody's dying on our side, so you cannot. Absolutely 848 00:44:37,840 --> 00:44:40,800 Speaker 17: you don't dismiss them. They are not going to fall apart, 849 00:44:41,080 --> 00:44:43,520 Speaker 17: you know, to take out a layer of command. They 850 00:44:43,640 --> 00:44:46,879 Speaker 17: already thought about that, just as we would. We would 851 00:44:46,960 --> 00:44:49,480 Speaker 17: not lose a general and think, well, what do we 852 00:44:49,600 --> 00:44:51,840 Speaker 17: do now? I mean, first thing they teach you in 853 00:44:51,880 --> 00:44:55,640 Speaker 17: the US military and training is okay, this guy's dead, 854 00:44:55,719 --> 00:44:56,759 Speaker 17: who's in charge now? 855 00:44:57,239 --> 00:44:59,919 Speaker 10: And we can't skip a beat? Got to keep moving. 856 00:45:01,280 --> 00:45:03,000 Speaker 3: You've also, since you've come back, you've been one of 857 00:45:03,040 --> 00:45:05,840 Speaker 3: the leaders in Pennsylvania the grass roots in the Mega movement. 858 00:45:05,920 --> 00:45:08,439 Speaker 3: Talk to me about the audience needs to hear about 859 00:45:08,440 --> 00:45:11,960 Speaker 3: the Bucks County people, because now we're seeing this in Texas. 860 00:45:12,000 --> 00:45:15,040 Speaker 3: It's fallen back once again on the grassroots to turn 861 00:45:15,080 --> 00:45:17,560 Speaker 3: this as the grass roots has driven this prop ten 862 00:45:18,080 --> 00:45:22,000 Speaker 3: to prohibitory law. They're the ones and given a permission structure, 863 00:45:22,000 --> 00:45:24,839 Speaker 3: they have risen to the occasion. But there are very 864 00:45:25,000 --> 00:45:27,920 Speaker 3: dark forces and outside money that are all over Texas. 865 00:45:28,000 --> 00:45:30,320 Speaker 3: They see Texas as the jewel in the crown. But 866 00:45:30,440 --> 00:45:32,200 Speaker 3: the way that we're going to win this is through 867 00:45:32,280 --> 00:45:34,279 Speaker 3: those patriots in Bucks County. Tell us about them. 868 00:45:35,719 --> 00:45:38,800 Speaker 17: Well, look right for Bucks, says, has been literally on 869 00:45:38,920 --> 00:45:44,200 Speaker 17: the forefront of the fight, the MAGA fight in Pennsylvania 870 00:45:44,320 --> 00:45:48,600 Speaker 17: now for years, and these guys are relentless. There are 871 00:45:49,760 --> 00:45:52,680 Speaker 17: a whole bunch of groups like that in Pennsylvania. I mean, 872 00:45:53,160 --> 00:45:56,200 Speaker 17: you know what people up in Erie come to mind. 873 00:45:56,280 --> 00:46:02,000 Speaker 17: Who went into a you know, dark city that had 874 00:46:02,080 --> 00:46:05,640 Speaker 17: been democratic forever and you know who are out there 875 00:46:05,640 --> 00:46:07,360 Speaker 17: and they're not just you know, this is not just 876 00:46:07,480 --> 00:46:14,239 Speaker 17: our white rural Pennsylvania phenomenon. I mean you're talking about blacks, Hispanics. 877 00:46:14,320 --> 00:46:18,440 Speaker 17: I mean, good Lord, Hazelton, which is three quarters Dominican 878 00:46:18,560 --> 00:46:23,200 Speaker 17: right now. Precincts up there went seventy five percent for 879 00:46:23,360 --> 00:46:26,360 Speaker 17: Trump in the last election, and the MAGA I was 880 00:46:26,440 --> 00:46:29,360 Speaker 17: down there every other day in the run up to 881 00:46:29,440 --> 00:46:34,320 Speaker 17: the election.

If there's a disconnect, it's you get 886 00:46:50,800 --> 00:46:53,239 Speaker 17: down to that level in Pennsylvania and you get still 887 00:46:53,280 --> 00:46:58,520 Speaker 17: got way too many establishment rhino types being fielded, and 888 00:46:58,640 --> 00:47:02,360 Speaker 17: then folks wondering, well, why aren't the MAGA voters showing 889 00:47:02,520 --> 00:47:06,440 Speaker 17: up for them?
