00:00:03.120 --> 00:00:08.039
<v Speaker 1>A lot of the fund the principles of Fido la

2
00:00:08.240 --> 00:00:16.800
<v Speaker 1>little interest and an individual lots. This is the show,

3
00:00:20.600 --> 00:00:22.760
<v Speaker 1>all right, everybody, welcome to your own book show. On

4
00:00:22.800 --> 00:00:31.000
<v Speaker 1>this Tuesday, June seventeenth, and another incredibly suspenseful day, but

5
00:00:31.039 --> 00:00:35.840
<v Speaker 1>the suspense was mostly and mostly Washington, DC. A lot

6
00:00:35.840 --> 00:00:38.960
<v Speaker 1>of suspense today, but what Donald Trump would actually do?

7
00:00:41.719 --> 00:00:45.039
<v Speaker 1>Not much suspense about what's going on in uh in Inuan.

8
00:00:45.159 --> 00:00:49.719
<v Speaker 1>That that's pretty straightforward and uh and uh a knowledgeable. Anyway,

9
00:00:49.960 --> 00:00:54.399
<v Speaker 1>this morning, well before we get to that, as you know, yesterday, uh,

10
00:00:54.719 --> 00:00:58.119
<v Speaker 1>Donald Trump declared that he had to go to Washington,

11
00:00:58.240 --> 00:01:02.119
<v Speaker 1>left the G seven meeting in Canada all in a

12
00:01:02.159 --> 00:01:04.239
<v Speaker 1>huff and a puff and got on a helicopter and

13
00:01:04.840 --> 00:01:07.760
<v Speaker 1>shootout I guess if it was Wan or whatever, and

14
00:01:08.200 --> 00:01:15.879
<v Speaker 1>returned quickly to Washington, DC and meetings today with his

15
00:01:16.159 --> 00:01:23.120
<v Speaker 1>National Security Council and everything. At this morning, Trump tweated

16
00:01:23.519 --> 00:01:31.280
<v Speaker 1>an amazing statement. He treated, we now have complete and

17
00:01:31.319 --> 00:01:36.040
<v Speaker 1>total control of the skies over Yon. Yon had good

18
00:01:36.359 --> 00:01:41.079
<v Speaker 1>skytrackers and other defensive equipment, and plenty of it, but

19
00:01:41.159 --> 00:01:45.680
<v Speaker 1>it doesn't compare to American maid conceived and manufactured stuff.

20
00:01:46.879 --> 00:01:52.799
<v Speaker 1>Nobody does it better than good old USA and you know, okay,

21
00:01:53.280 --> 00:01:56.159
<v Speaker 1>but everybody was wondering, what does he mean by we

22
00:01:57.200 --> 00:02:01.200
<v Speaker 1>Americans flying in Yon? Have they entered the war? Does

23
00:02:01.280 --> 00:02:05.719
<v Speaker 1>the US force now have complete control of the skies?

24
00:02:07.239 --> 00:02:12.560
<v Speaker 1>And the answer was, well, no, none in that sense,

25
00:02:12.960 --> 00:02:17.319
<v Speaker 1>that is, no American planes are flying up there. So

26
00:02:17.400 --> 00:02:21.599
<v Speaker 1>who is the WII? And he was asked, uh, you know,

27
00:02:21.680 --> 00:02:23.680
<v Speaker 1>the the accid in the White House came out with statement,

28
00:02:23.759 --> 00:02:31.000
<v Speaker 1>he said, we means America. So no credit to these

29
00:02:31.159 --> 00:02:34.680
<v Speaker 1>Israeli force, No credit to the planners, no credit to

30
00:02:34.719 --> 00:02:38.919
<v Speaker 1>the to the you know, to the diligence, no credit

31
00:02:39.039 --> 00:02:42.639
<v Speaker 1>to the fact that almost all the airplanes flying above

32
00:02:42.680 --> 00:02:48.159
<v Speaker 1>Iran were modified by Israel. But but really no, you know,

33
00:02:48.240 --> 00:02:51.000
<v Speaker 1>beyond the equipment, the equipment is amazing, the best in

34
00:02:51.039 --> 00:02:54.639
<v Speaker 1>the world. American makes stuff. I mean, maybe this is

35
00:02:54.680 --> 00:02:57.599
<v Speaker 1>just a message to China, don't mess with us, but

36
00:02:57.759 --> 00:03:01.560
<v Speaker 1>we now have complete control of the skies over your

37
00:03:01.639 --> 00:03:06.240
<v Speaker 1>on taking credit for other people's stuff. That that's great.

38
00:03:06.280 --> 00:03:08.639
<v Speaker 1>That that that's part of the course of Trump. This

39
00:03:08.759 --> 00:03:15.000
<v Speaker 1>is perfect visa e. Trump. And uh and again, how

40
00:03:15.000 --> 00:03:17.319
<v Speaker 1>did how did how did they get all the trackers

41
00:03:17.319 --> 00:03:20.039
<v Speaker 1>and defensive equipment? How did how did they get all

42
00:03:20.080 --> 00:03:25.000
<v Speaker 1>the defense systems gone. It wasn't just the equipment. It

43
00:03:25.039 --> 00:03:31.240
<v Speaker 1>was great strategy, great planning, great flying, you know, and

44
00:03:31.280 --> 00:03:33.879
<v Speaker 1>it was it was a lot of that equipment was

45
00:03:33.879 --> 00:03:38.000
<v Speaker 1>taken out by the mossade with drones on the ground.

46
00:03:38.759 --> 00:03:42.199
<v Speaker 1>Those drones are probably not US drones made in Israel,

47
00:03:42.280 --> 00:03:46.360
<v Speaker 1>maybe the little ones made in China. So I don't know.

48
00:03:46.439 --> 00:03:51.039
<v Speaker 1>I don't think. I don't think Donald Trump and and America.

49
00:03:51.240 --> 00:03:55.719
<v Speaker 1>But Badley is ready, should be ready yet to take

50
00:03:56.280 --> 00:03:59.520
<v Speaker 1>full credit for everything that's happened in Iran. But this

51
00:03:59.599 --> 00:04:01.520
<v Speaker 1>is Donald Trump, and he is going to and I

52
00:04:01.560 --> 00:04:05.400
<v Speaker 1>told you he's waiting. He's he's not gonna intervene until

53
00:04:05.719 --> 00:04:10.759
<v Speaker 1>he feels like it's one hundred percent safe, there's no downside,

54
00:04:12.840 --> 00:04:15.599
<v Speaker 1>and he'll get all the credit. He'll get all the credit.

55
00:04:15.639 --> 00:04:18.959
<v Speaker 1>I mean, as all these debates during the day, we're

56
00:04:18.959 --> 00:04:22.079
<v Speaker 1>going Willy won't he? WILLI intervene? Won't he intervene? Willie

57
00:04:22.120 --> 00:04:24.279
<v Speaker 1>sent the b twos won't he? I mean, it was

58
00:04:24.319 --> 00:04:26.959
<v Speaker 1>like very mixed feelings. On the one hand, be great

59
00:04:27.000 --> 00:04:28.879
<v Speaker 1>if the United States came in, it would make it

60
00:04:28.920 --> 00:04:33.439
<v Speaker 1>fast that quicker, easier, and and regime change probably happens quicker.

61
00:04:33.959 --> 00:04:37.519
<v Speaker 1>But on other hand, other hand, I was going, it's

62
00:04:37.600 --> 00:04:40.519
<v Speaker 1>all should just finish it, and because if the US

63
00:04:40.600 --> 00:04:44.279
<v Speaker 1>goes in, we will here forever is or can't get

64
00:04:44.279 --> 00:04:49.360
<v Speaker 1>it done. It needs American help, you know, without American help,

65
00:04:49.439 --> 00:04:53.399
<v Speaker 1>it can nothing. You know, it's just not it's almost not.

66
00:04:53.519 --> 00:04:58.800
<v Speaker 1>It's almost sure it's not, but it's almost not worth it.

67
00:04:57.759 --> 00:05:02.199
<v Speaker 1>Uh that that that actually that that actually happened. Anyway,

68
00:05:03.079 --> 00:05:06.120
<v Speaker 1>That wasn't the last tweet, although that was the big

69
00:05:06.160 --> 00:05:09.000
<v Speaker 1>one that took a lot of credit. Then about an

70
00:05:09.000 --> 00:05:16.360
<v Speaker 1>hour later, Trump tweets one tweet unconditional surrender all caps,

71
00:05:17.040 --> 00:05:22.639
<v Speaker 1>best tweet Trump maybe has ever tweeted. You know, if

72
00:05:22.680 --> 00:05:25.920
<v Speaker 1>somebody knows a better tweet that Trump is tweeted, let

73
00:05:25.920 --> 00:05:30.560
<v Speaker 1>me know. But unconditional surrender, Yes, that is the spirit.

74
00:05:31.240 --> 00:05:34.040
<v Speaker 1>That's the kind of spirit we want America a resurrect

75
00:05:34.560 --> 00:05:42.040
<v Speaker 1>to bring back. Yeah, Iran needs the unconditionally surrender. That

76
00:05:42.160 --> 00:05:44.800
<v Speaker 1>is the that is the appropriate outcome for what is

77
00:05:44.839 --> 00:05:47.360
<v Speaker 1>going on right now. And then he followed it up

78
00:05:48.079 --> 00:05:53.160
<v Speaker 1>with this again kind of I don't know, we know

79
00:05:53.279 --> 00:05:56.439
<v Speaker 1>exactly where the so called supreme leader is hiding. Here

80
00:05:56.480 --> 00:06:00.519
<v Speaker 1>is an easy target, but it's safe there, not going

81
00:06:00.560 --> 00:06:04.519
<v Speaker 1>to take him out in parentheses kill at least not

82
00:06:04.560 --> 00:06:08.240
<v Speaker 1>for now. We don't, but we don't want missiles shot

83
00:06:08.240 --> 00:06:12.839
<v Speaker 1>at civilians or American soldiers. Our patients is wearing thin.

84
00:06:14.160 --> 00:06:20.199
<v Speaker 1>Thank you for your attention on this matter. You know

85
00:06:20.199 --> 00:06:25.319
<v Speaker 1>how this mind thinks. I have no idea anyway. He's

86
00:06:25.480 --> 00:06:28.839
<v Speaker 1>not allowing is Old to take out Hominy. He's not

87
00:06:29.000 --> 00:06:34.160
<v Speaker 1>directly saying he will take out Haemony unless missiles are

88
00:06:34.160 --> 00:06:39.079
<v Speaker 1>shot at civilians. They've been shot at civilians now every

89
00:06:39.519 --> 00:06:43.759
<v Speaker 1>night since the war began, or American soldiers, and I

90
00:06:43.759 --> 00:06:48.639
<v Speaker 1>think that's the key. American soldiers have not been harmed yet. Anyway,

91
00:06:48.920 --> 00:06:53.000
<v Speaker 1>he tweeted these and and people in Israel got very excited,

92
00:06:53.959 --> 00:06:57.519
<v Speaker 1>and uh and and people online got very excited, and

93
00:06:57.560 --> 00:07:01.639
<v Speaker 1>there was there was basically speculation, uh that this was it,

94
00:07:01.720 --> 00:07:05.439
<v Speaker 1>that that Trump had made the decision. Given his running

95
00:07:05.480 --> 00:07:10.000
<v Speaker 1>away from leaving G seven in a florry. People decided, Yeah,

96
00:07:10.040 --> 00:07:13.639
<v Speaker 1>he's made the decision. This is it. The United States

97
00:07:13.680 --> 00:07:17.079
<v Speaker 1>is going to answer the phrase B two's photo has

98
00:07:17.480 --> 00:07:21.839
<v Speaker 1>done how many potentially has done one bunker busting bombing

99
00:07:22.000 --> 00:07:26.480
<v Speaker 1>on his bunker and he's finished. And people getting quite

100
00:07:26.480 --> 00:07:30.639
<v Speaker 1>excited about this. And then Trump had his entire national

101
00:07:31.040 --> 00:07:35.720
<v Speaker 1>security team at the White House and they were talking,

102
00:07:35.759 --> 00:07:38.360
<v Speaker 1>and the meeting went on and on, and then rumors

103
00:07:38.360 --> 00:07:41.040
<v Speaker 1>had it that as soon as the meeting ended, it

104
00:07:41.160 --> 00:07:43.720
<v Speaker 1>was ending, Trump was going to make a statement, was

105
00:07:43.759 --> 00:07:46.800
<v Speaker 1>going to make a statement. My expectation by everybody was

106
00:07:47.199 --> 00:07:49.319
<v Speaker 1>he was going to make the statement announcing that the

107
00:07:49.439 --> 00:07:52.680
<v Speaker 1>US is in, the US is coming in, and uh

108
00:07:53.920 --> 00:07:58.680
<v Speaker 1>then there were then then the rumors were rumors. I guess,

109
00:07:58.720 --> 00:08:01.439
<v Speaker 1>I guess news was a Tenny hour and Trump it's spoken.

110
00:08:01.680 --> 00:08:03.399
<v Speaker 1>While this meeting was going on, there was a phone

111
00:08:03.399 --> 00:08:06.000
<v Speaker 1>call between Natenaw and Trump, and then the meeting ended,

112
00:08:07.759 --> 00:08:11.759
<v Speaker 1>and I'm like refreshing my Twitter feed and refreshing news feeds.

113
00:08:12.160 --> 00:08:15.199
<v Speaker 1>Where's where's the Trump's statement? Where's that He's gonna announce

114
00:08:15.240 --> 00:08:19.639
<v Speaker 1>any minute now that you know US is joining? And nothing? Nothing. Indeed,

115
00:08:21.000 --> 00:08:24.000
<v Speaker 1>a while after the meetia ended, the White House announced

116
00:08:24.040 --> 00:08:27.399
<v Speaker 1>that nothing. Trump would not make any announcements until Wednesday.

117
00:08:28.319 --> 00:08:32.559
<v Speaker 1>Uh so so you know it's not gonna happen. Oh,

118
00:08:32.600 --> 00:08:33.320
<v Speaker 1>it's not gonna happen.

119
00:08:33.320 --> 00:08:33.440
<v Speaker 2>Now.

120
00:08:33.440 --> 00:08:36.240
<v Speaker 1>Who knows what he'll do tomorrow. Nobody knows what he'll do.

121
00:08:36.279 --> 00:08:43.320
<v Speaker 1>Tomorrow exactly. But it's uh, classic Trump again. Uh. There

122
00:08:43.399 --> 00:08:46.360
<v Speaker 1>is a lot of disagreement in his cabinet, there's a

123
00:08:46.399 --> 00:08:49.879
<v Speaker 1>lot of disagreement in MAGA, and he's paying attention. I'm

124
00:08:49.879 --> 00:08:53.840
<v Speaker 1>sure he's reading Twitter, reading other places, watching the disagreements

125
00:08:53.840 --> 00:08:58.600
<v Speaker 1>on MAGA. Uh that those who say he should he

126
00:08:58.600 --> 00:09:02.200
<v Speaker 1>should join those who shay he should not. In some

127
00:09:02.240 --> 00:09:04.399
<v Speaker 1>ways it's closer to those who say he should not.

128
00:09:05.559 --> 00:09:07.960
<v Speaker 1>And it's it's back and forth. And I'm sure in

129
00:09:08.159 --> 00:09:13.320
<v Speaker 1>the debates inside the Security Council, I'm sure JD is

130
00:09:13.360 --> 00:09:18.799
<v Speaker 1>against it, and uh, hex Sets probably and and you know, Hexays,

131
00:09:18.840 --> 00:09:23.200
<v Speaker 1>I don't know, probably four he's pretty anti Islam. Rubio

132
00:09:23.279 --> 00:09:26.840
<v Speaker 1>is probably four getting in hex Sets is probably neutral.

133
00:09:27.320 --> 00:09:29.120
<v Speaker 1>And I don't know where anybody else is. But but

134
00:09:29.480 --> 00:09:33.000
<v Speaker 1>I'm pretty sure JD. Vance is on the no side

135
00:09:33.039 --> 00:09:36.639
<v Speaker 1>on the on the kind of Maga megasite. Uh So,

136
00:09:37.480 --> 00:09:40.960
<v Speaker 1>who knows, will he won't he will he send in

137
00:09:41.000 --> 00:09:43.879
<v Speaker 1>the B twos and one he Now what's interesting about

138
00:09:43.879 --> 00:09:47.679
<v Speaker 1>this is it's the last two days they've been moving

139
00:09:47.840 --> 00:09:52.879
<v Speaker 1>pieces from all over into the Middle East regions. So

140
00:09:53.639 --> 00:10:00.759
<v Speaker 1>they move massive quantities, large numbers of refueling airplanes into

141
00:10:00.000 --> 00:10:04.879
<v Speaker 1>who into Europe in close proximity to the Middle East.

142
00:10:04.879 --> 00:10:08.600
<v Speaker 1>They've moved F twenty two's, F thirty five, F sixteen's,

143
00:10:09.320 --> 00:10:14.080
<v Speaker 1>they moved all these airplanes there. The nimits should be

144
00:10:14.240 --> 00:10:19.440
<v Speaker 1>arriving in the area soon, if it's not already there,

145
00:10:20.080 --> 00:10:24.480
<v Speaker 1>should be arriving really really soon. And the pieces are

146
00:10:24.480 --> 00:10:29.000
<v Speaker 1>all there. They they evacuated the air base in Qatar.

147
00:10:29.559 --> 00:10:33.159
<v Speaker 1>It's empty. Was the point of it anyway, but they've

148
00:10:33.440 --> 00:10:37.159
<v Speaker 1>evacuated it because it's very close to you to Yuan.

149
00:10:38.799 --> 00:10:42.919
<v Speaker 1>All the American troops in different bases in Syria and

150
00:10:42.960 --> 00:10:45.799
<v Speaker 1>in I York, those troops that Trump in his first

151
00:10:45.919 --> 00:10:49.120
<v Speaker 1>term told us that he was going to bring back

152
00:10:49.120 --> 00:10:53.600
<v Speaker 1>home and never did. Those troops, Well, they're in bases

153
00:10:53.759 --> 00:10:58.039
<v Speaker 1>in Syria and Iraq. They're on full alert, you know,

154
00:10:58.320 --> 00:11:04.480
<v Speaker 1>in case Iwan goes after the and so far nothing.

155
00:11:05.679 --> 00:11:07.559
<v Speaker 1>It'll be interesting to see what happens in the morning

156
00:11:07.600 --> 00:11:10.759
<v Speaker 1>and what he says in the morning and then what

157
00:11:10.799 --> 00:11:13.519
<v Speaker 1>he does, because those are not the same thing what

158
00:11:13.600 --> 00:11:18.080
<v Speaker 1>he ultimately what he ultimately does. But in many respects,

159
00:11:18.639 --> 00:11:22.639
<v Speaker 1>at least we forgot that the nuclear program. Trump could

160
00:11:22.720 --> 00:11:26.759
<v Speaker 1>end this very quickly. I don't know how many thirty

161
00:11:26.799 --> 00:11:30.799
<v Speaker 1>thousand pound bombs you need to take out photo but

162
00:11:32.279 --> 00:11:36.799
<v Speaker 1>you know, some and probably more than one, less than five,

163
00:11:36.879 --> 00:11:40.600
<v Speaker 1>I don't know. I don't know, but that would hit.

164
00:11:40.679 --> 00:11:45.080
<v Speaker 1>That would finish it. In terms of the Uranian nuclear program.

165
00:11:45.320 --> 00:11:50.000
<v Speaker 1>Israel's taking out pretty much everything else. And then I

166
00:11:50.039 --> 00:11:54.039
<v Speaker 1>don't know what Israel needs the US Air Force four

167
00:11:54.279 --> 00:11:58.080
<v Speaker 1>Other than that, It's like Gusrael was going. I mean,

168
00:11:58.240 --> 00:12:01.679
<v Speaker 1>no official was doing this, but Israeli's online. We're going.

169
00:12:02.080 --> 00:12:04.360
<v Speaker 1>Just just lend us the plane, you know, just get

170
00:12:04.320 --> 00:12:06.480
<v Speaker 1>a couple of hours, just lend us a B too

171
00:12:06.519 --> 00:12:08.840
<v Speaker 1>and and a couple of bombs, and we'll do it.

172
00:12:09.240 --> 00:12:10.759
<v Speaker 1>You know, you don't have to you don't have to

173
00:12:10.759 --> 00:12:14.799
<v Speaker 1>do it. We'll just lane lease whatever the B two

174
00:12:15.120 --> 00:12:17.879
<v Speaker 1>and we'll take care of it. You don't, you don't

175
00:12:17.879 --> 00:12:22.080
<v Speaker 1>need to get involved. Just stay home. It's fine, sadly,

176
00:12:22.559 --> 00:12:25.200
<v Speaker 1>you know, can't do that. Uh And and I don't

177
00:12:25.200 --> 00:12:27.480
<v Speaker 1>know if Israel has a pilot who can pilot the

178
00:12:27.519 --> 00:12:32.039
<v Speaker 1>B two? You know, I don't. I have no idea. Anyway,

179
00:12:32.200 --> 00:12:35.879
<v Speaker 1>everybody's sitting and waiting, basically, I know in Israel this

180
00:12:36.000 --> 00:12:40.080
<v Speaker 1>sitting and waiting. In the meantime, I did want to

181
00:12:40.120 --> 00:12:47.039
<v Speaker 1>mention this related to to to you know, to Trump

182
00:12:47.279 --> 00:12:51.559
<v Speaker 1>and JD. Vance put out a long tweet, kind of

183
00:12:51.600 --> 00:12:56.360
<v Speaker 1>a long tweet, and which is you know, really interesting

184
00:12:56.440 --> 00:12:58.919
<v Speaker 1>VISTI all, you know, he can write as compared to Trump,

185
00:12:59.440 --> 00:13:03.279
<v Speaker 1>and he he's not bombastic and ridiculous. Obviously, he's much

186
00:13:03.279 --> 00:13:08.720
<v Speaker 1>more of an intellect. But it's also funny because of

187
00:13:08.759 --> 00:13:15.120
<v Speaker 1>how fonny it is, right, you know, it's it's it's

188
00:13:16.279 --> 00:13:19.840
<v Speaker 1>it's like, we've got to just let Donald Trumbull decide

189
00:13:19.840 --> 00:13:22.440
<v Speaker 1>and whatever Donald trumble will decide will be good because

190
00:13:22.480 --> 00:13:26.399
<v Speaker 1>I trust Donald Trump and I'm completely trusting Donald Trump.

191
00:13:31.039 --> 00:13:33.799
<v Speaker 1>I mean, here's what the fin of three paragraphs for

192
00:13:33.879 --> 00:13:36.840
<v Speaker 1>three d in the whole thing. It's up online. Meanwhile,

193
00:13:36.879 --> 00:13:41.720
<v Speaker 1>the president has shown remarkable restraint and keeping on military focus,

194
00:13:42.080 --> 00:13:45.679
<v Speaker 1>on protecting our troops and protecting our citizens. I don't

195
00:13:45.679 --> 00:13:48.320
<v Speaker 1>know what that even means, you know, I don't know

196
00:13:48.320 --> 00:13:51.799
<v Speaker 1>what anyway we may decide. He may decide he it's

197
00:13:51.840 --> 00:13:54.720
<v Speaker 1>all about him. He may decide he needs to take

198
00:13:54.799 --> 00:13:59.039
<v Speaker 1>further action to Andy Ranian and Richmond. That decision ultimately

199
00:13:59.080 --> 00:14:01.799
<v Speaker 1>belongs to the present and of course people are right

200
00:14:02.120 --> 00:14:05.320
<v Speaker 1>to be worried about found entanglement after the last twenty

201
00:14:05.320 --> 00:14:08.360
<v Speaker 1>five years of idiotic found policy. But I believe that

202
00:14:08.480 --> 00:14:11.960
<v Speaker 1>President has earned some trust on this issue, and having

203
00:14:12.080 --> 00:14:15.159
<v Speaker 1>seen this up close and personal, I can assure you

204
00:14:15.200 --> 00:14:19.559
<v Speaker 1>that he is only interested in using the American military

205
00:14:19.600 --> 00:14:24.879
<v Speaker 1>to accomplish the American people's goals. Whether he does that

206
00:14:25.279 --> 00:14:29.399
<v Speaker 1>is his focus. So I guess Trump has not taken

207
00:14:29.600 --> 00:14:34.480
<v Speaker 1>the night off. He will go meditate and decide whether

208
00:14:34.720 --> 00:14:39.080
<v Speaker 1>he is going to do it or not. In the meantime,

209
00:14:40.039 --> 00:14:46.159
<v Speaker 1>Azrael continues to bomb targets all over western YUK and

210
00:14:46.320 --> 00:14:50.000
<v Speaker 1>some even in the northeast. But Primelli in Western YUK.

211
00:14:50.720 --> 00:14:58.759
<v Speaker 1>It's bombing several, has several targets in Tehran itself. Indeed,

212
00:14:59.799 --> 00:15:04.879
<v Speaker 1>they evacuated a number of neighborhoods and bombed within those

213
00:15:04.879 --> 00:15:11.200
<v Speaker 1>neighborhoods and outskirts of Tehran in the hills around it.

214
00:15:11.600 --> 00:15:16.919
<v Speaker 1>There is a massive blaze going on. Supposedly this is

215
00:15:17.000 --> 00:15:22.480
<v Speaker 1>a factory that produces the ballistic missiles, that makes the

216
00:15:22.480 --> 00:15:26.919
<v Speaker 1>ballistic missiles. The idea now is that the Israeli Air

217
00:15:26.919 --> 00:15:32.200
<v Speaker 1>Force continues to attack launchers and ballistic missiles getting ready

218
00:15:32.679 --> 00:15:37.039
<v Speaker 1>to fire at Israel. But it is also now a

219
00:15:37.159 --> 00:15:42.279
<v Speaker 1>key focus of THEIRS to destroy Iran's capacity to build

220
00:15:42.960 --> 00:15:45.879
<v Speaker 1>more ballistic missiles. Anyway, they hit this factory. It's a

221
00:15:45.960 --> 00:15:51.039
<v Speaker 1>massive fire going up in the hills up above Tehran.

222
00:15:51.559 --> 00:15:55.159
<v Speaker 1>They also hit a petrol chemical plant, a petrol chemical

223
00:15:55.200 --> 00:16:01.480
<v Speaker 1>plant that specialized in producing the kind of fuel that

224
00:16:01.559 --> 00:16:06.759
<v Speaker 1>the ballistic missiles require in order to launch and fly

225
00:16:07.000 --> 00:16:14.279
<v Speaker 1>all the way it Israel, so they are they are

226
00:16:15.519 --> 00:16:20.120
<v Speaker 1>taking out, you know, all the infrastructure that is needed

227
00:16:20.200 --> 00:16:25.480
<v Speaker 1>to build ballistic missiles. Other thing they did today which

228
00:16:25.519 --> 00:16:30.960
<v Speaker 1>was interesting, remember a few years ago Israeli Mossad actually

229
00:16:31.039 --> 00:16:38.279
<v Speaker 1>broke into the archives of the Uranian nuclear program. They

230
00:16:38.679 --> 00:16:43.279
<v Speaker 1>they don't house their archives online on a computer because

231
00:16:43.279 --> 00:16:45.519
<v Speaker 1>they're afraid is Well will hack it and steal it.

232
00:16:46.240 --> 00:16:50.679
<v Speaker 1>They housed it in a physical location. And Israel a

233
00:16:50.679 --> 00:16:54.039
<v Speaker 1>few years ago basically broke in and and made copies

234
00:16:54.080 --> 00:16:56.600
<v Speaker 1>of everything, and Antennia I was showing them off and

235
00:16:56.600 --> 00:17:00.879
<v Speaker 1>and and learned a lot about the new program, learned

236
00:17:00.919 --> 00:17:03.879
<v Speaker 1>the names of the scientists, and learned the where all

237
00:17:03.919 --> 00:17:06.400
<v Speaker 1>the locations are, learned a lot about the progress they

238
00:17:06.440 --> 00:17:14.319
<v Speaker 1>were making. Anyway, Iran continued to house all the documents

239
00:17:14.319 --> 00:17:18.839
<v Speaker 1>remain relating to the nuclear program in this archive. They

240
00:17:18.920 --> 00:17:21.720
<v Speaker 1>didn't digitalize it, so there's one copy and it's in

241
00:17:21.759 --> 00:17:26.039
<v Speaker 1>this archive. Well today is well destroyed that archive. And

242
00:17:26.119 --> 00:17:28.839
<v Speaker 1>I think the logic there is, if they ever want

243
00:17:28.880 --> 00:17:34.079
<v Speaker 1>to resurrect the nuclear program, no blueprints, no plans, no

244
00:17:34.400 --> 00:17:38.119
<v Speaker 1>whatever is in that archive exists, they won't have it.

245
00:17:38.119 --> 00:17:45.920
<v Speaker 1>It's gone, it has been blown up. It's unclear what

246
00:17:46.000 --> 00:17:49.160
<v Speaker 1>some of the other targets have been today. Not a

247
00:17:49.200 --> 00:17:51.759
<v Speaker 1>lot of information coming through in terms of the particular targets.

248
00:17:52.359 --> 00:17:56.400
<v Speaker 1>Is those just you know planes. Again, whereas Trump said,

249
00:17:56.440 --> 00:18:00.160
<v Speaker 1>we control their space, the reality is that Israel has

250
00:18:00.160 --> 00:18:03.440
<v Speaker 1>complete control these really air foros, has complete control over

251
00:18:03.480 --> 00:18:08.279
<v Speaker 1>the space above Tehran and above all of really western

252
00:18:09.440 --> 00:18:14.880
<v Speaker 1>western Iwan. I mean, this fire above Tehran is if

253
00:18:14.920 --> 00:18:18.119
<v Speaker 1>you can find a picture of it, it's quite quite spectacular,

254
00:18:18.160 --> 00:18:22.400
<v Speaker 1>it's quite big, it's impressive. That's a ballistic missile. It's

255
00:18:22.440 --> 00:18:28.960
<v Speaker 1>called the Kojir Garrison Aerospace Complex, and it's one of

256
00:18:29.039 --> 00:18:33.200
<v Speaker 1>the largest sites manufacturing ballistic missiles. So I assume they're

257
00:18:33.200 --> 00:18:38.519
<v Speaker 1>going after the other sites and they're just destroying capabilities.

258
00:18:38.599 --> 00:18:42.920
<v Speaker 1>And again they're attacking governing infrastructure within the city of Tehran.

259
00:18:43.000 --> 00:18:45.920
<v Speaker 1>Generally photos out of the city of Tehran show it.

260
00:18:45.920 --> 00:18:47.599
<v Speaker 1>It looks like a ghosts down. A lot of people

261
00:18:47.640 --> 00:18:50.519
<v Speaker 1>have left. I think a majority of the population has left.

262
00:18:50.599 --> 00:18:56.359
<v Speaker 1>Sixteen million people living in Greater Tehran and many, many,

263
00:18:56.359 --> 00:18:58.720
<v Speaker 1>many of them I don't know if majority, but many, many,

264
00:18:58.720 --> 00:19:02.839
<v Speaker 1>many of them have left the city by car, go

265
00:19:03.240 --> 00:19:07.440
<v Speaker 1>stay with relatives, or some of them have homes outside

266
00:19:07.680 --> 00:19:12.960
<v Speaker 1>in other parts of other parts of Yuan. What else,

267
00:19:13.400 --> 00:19:18.119
<v Speaker 1>what else happened today in terms of in terms of this,

268
00:19:19.319 --> 00:19:22.960
<v Speaker 1>Oh yeah, I mean, Iran continues to send ballistic missiles

269
00:19:23.000 --> 00:19:27.559
<v Speaker 1>into Israel. It continues to launch them. But what is really, really,

270
00:19:27.640 --> 00:19:30.519
<v Speaker 1>really interesting is the numbers. I mean, the numbers are

271
00:19:30.559 --> 00:19:36.400
<v Speaker 1>being ridiculously I mean in a positive way, ridiculously low, three, ten,

272
00:19:36.799 --> 00:19:40.720
<v Speaker 1>most fifteen. Now, the thing about these numbers is that

273
00:19:40.759 --> 00:19:44.640
<v Speaker 1>these numbers, Israel should be able to knock them all down,

274
00:19:44.799 --> 00:19:47.880
<v Speaker 1>if you know, if not all of them, almost all

275
00:19:47.920 --> 00:19:50.200
<v Speaker 1>of them, and the amount of damage that can be

276
00:19:50.240 --> 00:19:54.960
<v Speaker 1>done is probably minimal. And indeed, most of the most

277
00:19:55.039 --> 00:20:00.400
<v Speaker 1>recent launches have resulted in no damage, no casualty. They've

278
00:20:00.400 --> 00:20:05.759
<v Speaker 1>even the bombs have either fallen in empty spaces or

279
00:20:05.759 --> 00:20:09.680
<v Speaker 1>being shot down by Israeli air defense. So there was

280
00:20:09.799 --> 00:20:17.880
<v Speaker 1>absolutely no question. Now that Israel has degraded dramatically, i'd

281
00:20:17.880 --> 00:20:23.799
<v Speaker 1>say degraded Iran's capacity to launch ballistic missiles in its direction.

282
00:20:24.480 --> 00:20:28.960
<v Speaker 1>The number of missiles is ridiculously small. Again, remember that

283
00:20:29.440 --> 00:20:32.640
<v Speaker 1>the fear in Israel was that Iran would launch three

284
00:20:32.640 --> 00:20:34.920
<v Speaker 1>to five hundred missiles out of once or even more

285
00:20:35.640 --> 00:20:39.079
<v Speaker 1>and just overwhelm the system and cause dozens of not

286
00:20:39.200 --> 00:20:43.519
<v Speaker 1>hundreds of casualties I mean in Israel. And the fact

287
00:20:43.519 --> 00:20:45.240
<v Speaker 1>that even on the first night they could only get

288
00:20:45.279 --> 00:20:47.680
<v Speaker 1>two hundred in there. Then it went down to one hundred,

289
00:20:47.920 --> 00:20:50.960
<v Speaker 1>then there was like fifty. Now it's anyway from three

290
00:20:50.960 --> 00:20:58.480
<v Speaker 1>to fifteen. And again an amazing testament to the ability

291
00:20:58.640 --> 00:21:02.240
<v Speaker 1>of the Israeli Air Force to locate these things destroy them,

292
00:21:02.680 --> 00:21:05.480
<v Speaker 1>uh and uh and again a testament to the fact

293
00:21:05.480 --> 00:21:10.400
<v Speaker 1>that they have complete, you know, control over the skies

294
00:21:10.759 --> 00:21:13.519
<v Speaker 1>and can fly anyway and chase these things down and

295
00:21:13.920 --> 00:21:19.160
<v Speaker 1>destroy them. I mean right now, it's it's more of

296
00:21:19.160 --> 00:21:22.880
<v Speaker 1>a hassle that every couple of hours the AREAD shelter.

297
00:21:23.000 --> 00:21:25.480
<v Speaker 1>Eliot Simons, you have to go into the shelter and

298
00:21:25.519 --> 00:21:27.200
<v Speaker 1>then come out, and then you go back to sleep,

299
00:21:27.240 --> 00:21:30.079
<v Speaker 1>and then two hours later, there's a so's it's more that,

300
00:21:30.240 --> 00:21:34.000
<v Speaker 1>it's more you know, Israeli suffering from lack of sleep

301
00:21:34.160 --> 00:21:37.720
<v Speaker 1>and stress and all the emotion that goes along with it,

302
00:21:38.799 --> 00:21:41.359
<v Speaker 1>rather than I think the worst of the damage has

303
00:21:41.359 --> 00:21:45.799
<v Speaker 1>already been done and we will see if Elon can

304
00:21:45.920 --> 00:21:52.039
<v Speaker 1>muster anything more. All evening today, the Ranians distributed propaganda videos.

305
00:21:52.720 --> 00:21:56.960
<v Speaker 1>They claimed that they were going to hit Israel today

306
00:21:57.000 --> 00:22:00.720
<v Speaker 1>with weapons that you cannot even imagine, weapons that are

307
00:22:00.920 --> 00:22:09.319
<v Speaker 1>far more sophisticated, better could evade the defense systems, bigger bombs.

308
00:22:09.519 --> 00:22:14.359
<v Speaker 1>They even hinted that they might have a nuke. So

309
00:22:15.319 --> 00:22:19.200
<v Speaker 1>all evening they were doing this, and then so every time,

310
00:22:19.480 --> 00:22:22.319
<v Speaker 1>every time you get a marriage of a ballistic missiles,

311
00:22:22.400 --> 00:22:26.400
<v Speaker 1>I think some people certainly feared, Oh, do they have

312
00:22:26.519 --> 00:22:29.119
<v Speaker 1>something different? Do they have something more powerful? Do they

313
00:22:29.119 --> 00:22:32.960
<v Speaker 1>have something you know, more substantial that is going to

314
00:22:33.000 --> 00:22:37.839
<v Speaker 1>cause damage? And so far, all of that's just being propaganda.

315
00:22:38.400 --> 00:22:41.519
<v Speaker 1>As I've often told you, if you listen to the

316
00:22:41.519 --> 00:22:46.079
<v Speaker 1>show regularly, as I've often told you, authoritarian regimes there's

317
00:22:46.160 --> 00:22:52.039
<v Speaker 1>weapons are typically not that great, and they might tout it,

318
00:22:52.079 --> 00:22:55.880
<v Speaker 1>they might advertise them, they might claim the greatest and

319
00:22:56.000 --> 00:22:59.839
<v Speaker 1>best ever but when it comes down to real performance,

320
00:23:01.359 --> 00:23:04.000
<v Speaker 1>they're just not that great. And uh, I think that's

321
00:23:04.000 --> 00:23:07.359
<v Speaker 1>what we're seeing, at least partially seeing with you on

322
00:23:07.519 --> 00:23:10.559
<v Speaker 1>right now. Uh. They have all they have large numbers,

323
00:23:10.599 --> 00:23:14.160
<v Speaker 1>but but the weapons systems are a primitive, a bad

324
00:23:14.839 --> 00:23:18.119
<v Speaker 1>are not sophisticated, and and all their promises for these

325
00:23:18.200 --> 00:23:22.400
<v Speaker 1>latest generations greatest than ever as far as we know,

326
00:23:22.599 --> 00:23:25.759
<v Speaker 1>if they've launched any they'd be knocked down. And it's

327
00:23:25.799 --> 00:23:28.359
<v Speaker 1>not clear they've launched any.

328
00:23:30.799 --> 00:23:38.039
<v Speaker 2>All right, let's see, Uh just check you to see

329
00:23:38.039 --> 00:23:40.039
<v Speaker 2>if there's anything happening right now.

330
00:23:48.240 --> 00:23:51.519
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I mean, here's the the Iuran's Islamic Revolutionary God.

331
00:23:52.160 --> 00:23:55.440
<v Speaker 1>They made a statement a little earlier and they said

332
00:23:55.519 --> 00:23:58.960
<v Speaker 1>this is what they said right Uh now, this is

333
00:23:58.960 --> 00:24:04.759
<v Speaker 1>py MELI. This is for internal consumption and for Tucker

334
00:24:04.799 --> 00:24:09.319
<v Speaker 1>Carlson and Dave Smith and all the other idiots who

335
00:24:09.680 --> 00:24:14.119
<v Speaker 1>believe everything they read coming out of authoritarian regimes. Quote,

336
00:24:14.119 --> 00:24:18.400
<v Speaker 1>tonight's missile attacks showed that we have gained complete control

337
00:24:18.440 --> 00:24:22.240
<v Speaker 1>over the skies of the occupied territories, and then its

338
00:24:22.359 --> 00:24:27.640
<v Speaker 1>residents have become completely defenseless against the Iranian missile attacks.

339
00:24:31.480 --> 00:24:37.599
<v Speaker 1>So yeah, I believe anything you read from the revolutionary

340
00:24:37.640 --> 00:24:43.519
<v Speaker 1>God with with the you know, with skepticism. Uh, you know,

341
00:24:44.160 --> 00:24:48.000
<v Speaker 1>but I'm sure there's a bunch of Maga people out

342
00:24:48.000 --> 00:24:50.240
<v Speaker 1>there and libertarians out there saying yeah, yeah, yeah, and

343
00:24:50.279 --> 00:24:52.039
<v Speaker 1>we carry as if we can believe these rat leaves,

344
00:24:52.039 --> 00:24:58.559
<v Speaker 1>we can't believe in that's their moral and and and

345
00:24:58.559 --> 00:25:01.079
<v Speaker 1>and you know, just to qui that they make. But

346
00:25:01.519 --> 00:25:04.680
<v Speaker 1>the reality is, yeah, you can probably believe the Israelis

347
00:25:04.720 --> 00:25:06.559
<v Speaker 1>because these Raelis are going to be second guests and

348
00:25:07.000 --> 00:25:12.240
<v Speaker 1>checked by their own media and and everything else. One

349
00:25:12.240 --> 00:25:15.519
<v Speaker 1>of the fun things that is going on here, Oh,

350
00:25:15.559 --> 00:25:19.519
<v Speaker 1>I told how many just posted. We must give a

351
00:25:19.599 --> 00:25:23.480
<v Speaker 1>strong response the terrors Zionist regime. We will show the

352
00:25:23.599 --> 00:25:28.720
<v Speaker 1>Zionists no mercy. He's eighty something years old, he's a

353
00:25:28.759 --> 00:25:31.880
<v Speaker 1>little he's a little delusional. One of the funny things

354
00:25:31.880 --> 00:25:35.720
<v Speaker 1>that's going around these videos is they've got how many

355
00:25:35.960 --> 00:25:41.839
<v Speaker 1>giving a speech and they overlay it with with sink

356
00:25:41.960 --> 00:25:47.559
<v Speaker 1>something completely different. Uh. And it's really really it's really

357
00:25:47.720 --> 00:25:50.839
<v Speaker 1>really funny right about you know, he has no generals,

358
00:25:50.839 --> 00:25:53.160
<v Speaker 1>it's armies dead. I mean a number of different versions

359
00:25:53.200 --> 00:26:08.200
<v Speaker 1>of this, but it's it's it's pretty hysterical. Yeah, Oh,

360
00:26:08.240 --> 00:26:13.480
<v Speaker 1>Mario Nofal actually has some you know, his take on

361
00:26:13.519 --> 00:26:16.480
<v Speaker 1>what's going on after interviewing all these experts. Now he's

362
00:26:16.519 --> 00:26:18.359
<v Speaker 1>interviewed a lot of experts who are not experts, who

363
00:26:18.400 --> 00:26:22.160
<v Speaker 1>know nothing. But let's see what Mario nefal now in

364
00:26:22.160 --> 00:26:24.920
<v Speaker 1>your father is like the guy who does all the

365
00:26:25.079 --> 00:26:30.599
<v Speaker 1>news on acts on Twitter. Iran is running out of

366
00:26:30.599 --> 00:26:34.119
<v Speaker 1>missiles and missile launchers to strike Israel. The attacks have

367
00:26:34.200 --> 00:26:38.279
<v Speaker 1>dropped ninety percent based on the numbers of missile per wave. Absolutely,

368
00:26:38.680 --> 00:26:42.359
<v Speaker 1>Israel this complete air dominance over Tehran and Western Iran

369
00:26:42.440 --> 00:26:47.400
<v Speaker 1>probably more, and Mosada has infiltrated the Ranian military and government. Absolutely,

370
00:26:48.480 --> 00:26:50.759
<v Speaker 1>Iran is trying to end the war, seeking a deal

371
00:26:50.799 --> 00:26:53.279
<v Speaker 1>with the US and trying to avoid getting the US

372
00:26:53.279 --> 00:26:55.519
<v Speaker 1>involved in the war. Absolutely. You know. One of the

373
00:26:55.519 --> 00:26:59.920
<v Speaker 1>ways you know Ywan is really trying not to escalate

374
00:27:00.240 --> 00:27:05.160
<v Speaker 1>visa VI the Americans is the Straits of Homos are

375
00:27:05.160 --> 00:27:07.599
<v Speaker 1>still open. As I told you, twenty five percent of

376
00:27:07.640 --> 00:27:12.160
<v Speaker 1>all the global oil supply flows through the straits. You

377
00:27:12.240 --> 00:27:16.160
<v Speaker 1>get all from Saudi Araba, kata Quait, Iraq, Iran all

378
00:27:16.160 --> 00:27:19.720
<v Speaker 1>goes through the straits. The straits are very narrow. They

379
00:27:19.799 --> 00:27:24.960
<v Speaker 1>could mine the straits. They have mines, CEA mines. They

380
00:27:25.000 --> 00:27:28.759
<v Speaker 1>have practiced this, they've trained for this. Israel is not

381
00:27:29.160 --> 00:27:32.839
<v Speaker 1>taken out the Iranian navy. You know, I'm not sure

382
00:27:32.880 --> 00:27:37.759
<v Speaker 1>why exactly. Maybe they don't want to encourage them to

383
00:27:37.440 --> 00:27:40.480
<v Speaker 1>go to go close the Straits of Homos. But Israel's

384
00:27:40.519 --> 00:27:46.640
<v Speaker 1>not yet you know, completely eliminated the Ranian navy, and

385
00:27:46.680 --> 00:27:49.519
<v Speaker 1>of course it's not eliminated the ability to export oil

386
00:27:49.880 --> 00:27:52.680
<v Speaker 1>yet and doesn't look like they're going to, probably at

387
00:27:52.680 --> 00:27:55.359
<v Speaker 1>the request of Trump. I think it's a cowardly actor.

388
00:27:55.359 --> 00:27:56.519
<v Speaker 1>I think it should have been one of the first

389
00:27:56.559 --> 00:28:00.960
<v Speaker 1>things they did. But anyway, but they haven't closed the

390
00:28:01.039 --> 00:28:05.160
<v Speaker 1>Straits of Homodes. And it could be the Saudis asked

391
00:28:05.240 --> 00:28:07.440
<v Speaker 1>Israel not to attack the all facilities. It could be

392
00:28:07.920 --> 00:28:12.880
<v Speaker 1>you know, Arab countries and the Abrama Cod countries have

393
00:28:12.920 --> 00:28:15.599
<v Speaker 1>all asked Israel not to do that because it'll hurt

394
00:28:15.640 --> 00:28:18.960
<v Speaker 1>their economies if Iran closes the straits. So the fact

395
00:28:19.000 --> 00:28:22.240
<v Speaker 1>that they haven't closed the strait means they're trying not to.

396
00:28:22.480 --> 00:28:24.799
<v Speaker 1>They're trying to kind of deal with the US. They

397
00:28:24.880 --> 00:28:28.279
<v Speaker 1>think they'll get better terms from Trump than they will

398
00:28:28.319 --> 00:28:32.519
<v Speaker 1>for Natanio. And one of the reassuring things today supposedly

399
00:28:33.359 --> 00:28:38.319
<v Speaker 1>was when Trump tweeted unconditional surrender. I think a lot

400
00:28:38.319 --> 00:28:43.240
<v Speaker 1>of Israelis took that as yeah, no deal, complete surrender,

401
00:28:43.599 --> 00:28:45.680
<v Speaker 1>or the US is coming into the war. That hasn't

402
00:28:45.720 --> 00:28:48.720
<v Speaker 1>happened yet, but that was the hope at least. All right,

403
00:28:48.759 --> 00:28:52.039
<v Speaker 1>let's see what else. A threat against the assassination of

404
00:28:52.079 --> 00:28:55.480
<v Speaker 1>Supreme Leader to Jamini are either a bluff to force

405
00:28:55.519 --> 00:28:58.519
<v Speaker 1>Iuan to agree to a deal equivalent to surrender, or

406
00:28:58.519 --> 00:29:02.480
<v Speaker 1>a genuine threat with the aim of regime change. That's

407
00:29:02.480 --> 00:29:04.559
<v Speaker 1>pretty good. I mean, it's either bluff or it's not

408
00:29:04.599 --> 00:29:08.680
<v Speaker 1>a bluff. I mean, it could be seven other possibilities,

409
00:29:09.000 --> 00:29:12.039
<v Speaker 1>but it's one of those two, it turns out. According

410
00:29:12.039 --> 00:29:17.440
<v Speaker 1>to Mario, Wow, that's insightful. Uh, the US could get

411
00:29:17.440 --> 00:29:20.839
<v Speaker 1>involved in a limited strike solely on Uon's NYUKA facilities.

412
00:29:21.559 --> 00:29:24.960
<v Speaker 1>Evan's response to this attack will dictate whether the US

413
00:29:25.119 --> 00:29:29.680
<v Speaker 1>escalates an involvement. So they could attack, uh, the the

414
00:29:29.680 --> 00:29:33.119
<v Speaker 1>the NUKA facilities, and then do the Uranians attack US

415
00:29:33.279 --> 00:29:37.160
<v Speaker 1>facilities in the Middle East. They supposedly have all the

416
00:29:37.200 --> 00:29:40.240
<v Speaker 1>missiles lined up to do that. They're saving those They're

417
00:29:40.279 --> 00:29:46.720
<v Speaker 1>saving some missiles for you. Know, for the for the Americans,

418
00:29:46.799 --> 00:29:50.680
<v Speaker 1>they're not using them on Israel. And then you know,

419
00:29:50.799 --> 00:29:53.559
<v Speaker 1>so there's uh, there's that. And then if they attack

420
00:29:53.880 --> 00:29:57.200
<v Speaker 1>the US, then the idea is the US would get

421
00:29:57.200 --> 00:30:00.799
<v Speaker 1>more involved in the war. And then and finally, if

422
00:30:00.839 --> 00:30:04.559
<v Speaker 1>Israel seeks any Radian regime change, this will be devastating

423
00:30:04.559 --> 00:30:08.920
<v Speaker 1>for Iran and potentially the region. What that is such

424
00:30:08.960 --> 00:30:13.319
<v Speaker 1>a stupid take. If their objectives simply to end an

425
00:30:13.359 --> 00:30:16.759
<v Speaker 1>anti Iran's nuclear program and not a regime change, then

426
00:30:16.759 --> 00:30:21.279
<v Speaker 1>the mission will be accomplished very soon, possibly this week. Historically,

427
00:30:21.319 --> 00:30:27.839
<v Speaker 1>regime changes almost never go as planned. This is the

428
00:30:27.599 --> 00:30:35.880
<v Speaker 1>the real crazies, right, the real crazy stuff. Stability is

429
00:30:36.000 --> 00:30:40.000
<v Speaker 1>a value. Everything you know, you can't destabilize. Let's say,

430
00:30:40.359 --> 00:30:42.759
<v Speaker 1>let's say it doesn't go to plant, they kill how

431
00:30:42.759 --> 00:30:46.640
<v Speaker 1>many they kill the mulahs, and a civil war bakes

432
00:30:46.680 --> 00:30:50.240
<v Speaker 1>out in Iran? Why is that a bad thing? I

433
00:30:50.240 --> 00:30:53.160
<v Speaker 1>mean from the perspective of national security, from the perspective

434
00:30:53.200 --> 00:30:56.079
<v Speaker 1>of American interest and Israeli interested? Why is that a

435
00:30:56.079 --> 00:30:58.440
<v Speaker 1>bad thing? Why is instability in Yuan a bad thing?

436
00:31:00.160 --> 00:31:05.519
<v Speaker 1>The likelihood that the next regime, whoever wins this supposed

437
00:31:05.599 --> 00:31:08.240
<v Speaker 1>civil war, I don't see how a civil war breaks out.

438
00:31:08.240 --> 00:31:12.200
<v Speaker 1>But let's let's play it out. Right, there's chaos. Everybody's

439
00:31:12.240 --> 00:31:15.400
<v Speaker 1>afraid of chaos. They hate chaos. Chaos is terrible. They

440
00:31:15.440 --> 00:31:22.160
<v Speaker 1>prefer order under an authoritarian, evil thug than chaos, right,

441
00:31:23.079 --> 00:31:26.119
<v Speaker 1>even though that chaos is likely to lead to a

442
00:31:26.119 --> 00:31:30.599
<v Speaker 1>better outcome, because chaos won't sustain herself in Iran, Iran

443
00:31:30.720 --> 00:31:34.880
<v Speaker 1>will coal less around something. Now will that something be

444
00:31:34.960 --> 00:31:38.839
<v Speaker 1>worse for America in Israel than the current regime? I

445
00:31:38.880 --> 00:31:44.640
<v Speaker 1>can guarantee the answer is no. Is there a decent

446
00:31:44.839 --> 00:31:46.960
<v Speaker 1>likelihood I don't know how much probability to put it

447
00:31:47.000 --> 00:32:00.480
<v Speaker 1>on it, but a decent likelihood that the that the

448
00:32:00.720 --> 00:32:09.839
<v Speaker 1>new regime, whatever it is is, actually is actually democratic,

449
00:32:10.000 --> 00:32:14.480
<v Speaker 1>relatively free, friendly to the United States, or at least

450
00:32:14.480 --> 00:32:16.279
<v Speaker 1>attempting to be friendly. I think they like this is

451
00:32:16.319 --> 00:32:19.599
<v Speaker 1>pretty good for that. So let's shake it up and

452
00:32:19.720 --> 00:32:27.400
<v Speaker 1>see see see what happens. I mean, it's going to

453
00:32:27.440 --> 00:32:32.519
<v Speaker 1>be better. So why not go for regime change and

454
00:32:32.640 --> 00:32:35.519
<v Speaker 1>accept the fact that it might be messy? But is

455
00:32:35.599 --> 00:32:39.160
<v Speaker 1>all this far away from Yuan? It really is, The

456
00:32:39.240 --> 00:32:43.200
<v Speaker 1>United States is really far with what is the what

457
00:32:43.359 --> 00:32:47.279
<v Speaker 1>is the threat that instability in Yuan? Poses to Israel

458
00:32:47.319 --> 00:32:52.960
<v Speaker 1>in the United States, I say, go for regime change,

459
00:32:53.000 --> 00:32:59.319
<v Speaker 1>Go all out for regime change. And I mean short

460
00:32:59.319 --> 00:33:01.119
<v Speaker 1>of putting troops on the ground. No troops on the ground,

461
00:33:01.160 --> 00:33:05.279
<v Speaker 1>regime change from the air, No troops on the ground.

462
00:33:08.279 --> 00:33:25.519
<v Speaker 1>What's the downside? So this is the kind of appeasing, compromising,

463
00:33:25.720 --> 00:33:33.559
<v Speaker 1>cowardly attitude that too many Americans and experts, particularly military experts,

464
00:33:33.599 --> 00:33:39.279
<v Speaker 1>incompetent military experts have. Oh you know, if they try

465
00:33:39.359 --> 00:33:42.319
<v Speaker 1>regime change, I'll be instability and things won't go the

466
00:33:42.400 --> 00:33:46.079
<v Speaker 1>way they want. Yeah, maybe they'll go better. And you

467
00:33:46.119 --> 00:33:52.359
<v Speaker 1>know what. The beauty of going for regime change, The

468
00:33:52.359 --> 00:33:56.559
<v Speaker 1>beauty of going for regime change is that it places

469
00:33:56.599 --> 00:34:02.000
<v Speaker 1>the responsibility for what happens to Iran with Iranians. Let

470
00:34:02.039 --> 00:34:08.039
<v Speaker 1>them fight it out, let them figure out what they want,

471
00:34:09.360 --> 00:34:14.679
<v Speaker 1>let them determine their future. Isn't that something we should

472
00:34:14.719 --> 00:34:20.679
<v Speaker 1>all want? This is not an environment you want in

473
00:34:20.760 --> 00:34:25.519
<v Speaker 1>which ISIS will arise. Yeah she hees. They just had

474
00:34:25.559 --> 00:34:28.719
<v Speaker 1>an Isis running the country. They don't want another Isis

475
00:34:28.800 --> 00:34:33.400
<v Speaker 1>running the country. Now, could the regen be ooh maybe

476
00:34:33.440 --> 00:34:35.480
<v Speaker 1>maybe maybe the new egene. I mean this, I mean,

477
00:34:35.519 --> 00:34:38.039
<v Speaker 1>this is probably what scares the Trumpet administration. Maybe the

478
00:34:38.119 --> 00:34:42.079
<v Speaker 1>new egene will be woke, maybe they'll have d I programs.

479
00:34:42.639 --> 00:34:45.559
<v Speaker 1>Oh my god, oh my god, will miss the days

480
00:34:45.599 --> 00:34:48.840
<v Speaker 1>of the Mulahs. I mean, what is what is the

481
00:34:48.920 --> 00:34:52.920
<v Speaker 1>possibilities here? What could happen? I think that was a

482
00:34:52.920 --> 00:34:56.280
<v Speaker 1>pretty good joke. I think somebody, somebody, there's lone the

483
00:34:56.400 --> 00:34:59.079
<v Speaker 1>center is laughing aloud. I think that was a pretty

484
00:34:59.079 --> 00:35:08.159
<v Speaker 1>good joke with a Wolkes anyway. So yeah, all this

485
00:35:08.280 --> 00:35:11.960
<v Speaker 1>analysis and everything, even if they get the facts right,

486
00:35:12.639 --> 00:35:18.079
<v Speaker 1>their prescription is completely wrong. Take comedy out, Take the

487
00:35:18.159 --> 00:35:22.920
<v Speaker 1>Supreme Leadership Council whatever they call themselves out, Take the

488
00:35:23.039 --> 00:35:29.199
<v Speaker 1>Mullahs out, Take the regime Apparatusis that make it possible

489
00:35:29.239 --> 00:35:32.880
<v Speaker 1>to oppress the Iranian people? Out and let the Iranians

490
00:35:32.920 --> 00:35:35.199
<v Speaker 1>figure out how they want to deal with the rest.

491
00:35:35.760 --> 00:35:38.480
<v Speaker 1>Don't put anybody in the ground. I mean, here's a

492
00:35:38.519 --> 00:35:43.480
<v Speaker 1>few things that might happen. There are rumors today, I

493
00:35:43.519 --> 00:35:45.800
<v Speaker 1>have no idea if these are true or not, that

494
00:35:47.199 --> 00:35:51.559
<v Speaker 1>certain military officers in the Iranian Army have been contacting

495
00:35:52.159 --> 00:35:55.760
<v Speaker 1>the son of the chah Viwan to tell him that

496
00:35:55.800 --> 00:35:59.199
<v Speaker 1>they are willing to beat at his side to help

497
00:35:59.280 --> 00:36:01.639
<v Speaker 1>him take control of you on and they want to

498
00:36:01.679 --> 00:36:04.480
<v Speaker 1>make they would like him to come and and and

499
00:36:04.800 --> 00:36:06.880
<v Speaker 1>they will work with him. Now. I don't know if

500
00:36:06.880 --> 00:36:09.280
<v Speaker 1>that's true or not, but that's the kind of things

501
00:36:09.280 --> 00:36:14.800
<v Speaker 1>that could happen that you could start seeing happens as

502
00:36:14.800 --> 00:36:16.480
<v Speaker 1>a shift. Now, a lot of people won't be happy

503
00:36:16.480 --> 00:36:19.079
<v Speaker 1>with the show of you on coming back that want

504
00:36:19.119 --> 00:36:23.199
<v Speaker 1>somebody else. And they'll be discussions, maybe they'll even be riots,

505
00:36:23.280 --> 00:36:27.159
<v Speaker 1>maybe they'll even be violence, but it'll be inside Iran

506
00:36:27.920 --> 00:36:31.960
<v Speaker 1>in order to determine Iran's fate. Why are we afraid

507
00:36:31.960 --> 00:36:37.360
<v Speaker 1>of that? Why won't we nudge it along? Why don't

508
00:36:37.360 --> 00:36:44.639
<v Speaker 1>we view that as a positive? Lindsey Graham likes the idea.

509
00:36:44.920 --> 00:36:46.639
<v Speaker 1>Right here we go. I would like to see the

510
00:36:46.679 --> 00:36:49.760
<v Speaker 1>regime fall if we don't take out the nuclear program

511
00:36:49.840 --> 00:36:54.159
<v Speaker 1>now we'll all regret it. We're very close, be all in,

512
00:36:54.239 --> 00:36:57.440
<v Speaker 1>mister President, and helping is well finish the job. And

513
00:36:57.480 --> 00:37:02.800
<v Speaker 1>this is this is you know, this is Charlie Cook's response. Charlie, Well,

514
00:37:02.880 --> 00:37:06.320
<v Speaker 1>love Charlie right, Charlie Cook, this is what he says.

515
00:37:06.960 --> 00:37:11.800
<v Speaker 1>This is insane. Insane. Regime change will result in a

516
00:37:11.800 --> 00:37:16.760
<v Speaker 1>bloody civil war, killing hundreds of thousands and creating another

517
00:37:16.960 --> 00:37:22.440
<v Speaker 1>massive Muslim refuge crisis. Topping a leader is never as

518
00:37:22.480 --> 00:37:26.440
<v Speaker 1>easy as you think. It almost always results in further involvement,

519
00:37:26.519 --> 00:37:32.320
<v Speaker 1>a civil war and chaos. Resist us. Charlie Cook, an

520
00:37:32.320 --> 00:37:35.559
<v Speaker 1>expert on Middle East politics, an expert on revolutions, an

521
00:37:35.599 --> 00:37:38.960
<v Speaker 1>expert on civil wars in the Middle East, and an

522
00:37:39.039 --> 00:37:42.800
<v Speaker 1>expert on Iranian culture and Iranian history, has now declared

523
00:37:42.840 --> 00:37:46.360
<v Speaker 1>that regime change will result in bloody civil war, killing

524
00:37:46.480 --> 00:37:49.480
<v Speaker 1>hundreds of thousands of people. I think this is the same,

525
00:37:49.559 --> 00:37:54.280
<v Speaker 1>Charlie Cook. I might be wrong. Who's affiliated with that

526
00:37:54.280 --> 00:37:55.880
<v Speaker 1>part of Mega that was just a couple of days

527
00:37:55.920 --> 00:37:59.280
<v Speaker 1>ago saying World War three? World This is going to

528
00:37:59.320 --> 00:38:02.440
<v Speaker 1>cost World War three? Of course. I mean, isn't it

529
00:38:02.480 --> 00:38:05.760
<v Speaker 1>obvious all these countries are gonna come and aid you on? Well,

530
00:38:07.519 --> 00:38:11.079
<v Speaker 1>Pakistan has closed the border off with Ivan, Russia has

531
00:38:11.119 --> 00:38:14.360
<v Speaker 1>basically explicitly said we're not going to help you on.

532
00:38:15.360 --> 00:38:20.440
<v Speaker 1>China is just silent, not talking. We know Saudi Braba's

533
00:38:20.440 --> 00:38:24.519
<v Speaker 1>not going to help them. Woo door three breaks. Oh,

534
00:38:25.000 --> 00:38:29.000
<v Speaker 1>the Brazilians are sending a platoon, the Brazilians and the

535
00:38:29.039 --> 00:38:33.960
<v Speaker 1>South Africans, I eat sending a platoon. That's the level

536
00:38:33.960 --> 00:38:38.480
<v Speaker 1>of expertise that these people have. They're so ignorant. Charlie,

537
00:38:38.760 --> 00:38:41.079
<v Speaker 1>you should go back to listening to my talks and

538
00:38:41.199 --> 00:38:44.760
<v Speaker 1>mimicking my talking points like you used to do on capitalism.

539
00:38:45.800 --> 00:38:50.159
<v Speaker 1>You don't know what you're talking about. I mean, complete ignorance.

540
00:38:51.199 --> 00:38:53.880
<v Speaker 1>Bloody civil war killing hundreds of thousands? Did even get this?

541
00:38:54.679 --> 00:38:58.639
<v Speaker 1>Who's the expert feeding him this stuff? Who are the

542
00:38:58.679 --> 00:39:01.440
<v Speaker 1>factions in the civil war that are going to kill

543
00:39:01.559 --> 00:39:03.639
<v Speaker 1>hundreds of thousands? Now I'm not saying there won't be

544
00:39:03.639 --> 00:39:06.039
<v Speaker 1>a s of a war, but the panic in hysteria

545
00:39:06.079 --> 00:39:08.760
<v Speaker 1>and sudainty that they are, they know, they know. I

546
00:39:08.760 --> 00:39:10.679
<v Speaker 1>don't know what will happen if you talk of how

547
00:39:10.679 --> 00:39:15.159
<v Speaker 1>many and you get rid of the Mulas. Maybe there'll

548
00:39:15.199 --> 00:39:18.599
<v Speaker 1>be a Savol. Maybe they won't. Maybe the Coods in

549
00:39:18.599 --> 00:39:22.559
<v Speaker 1>the north will take Kurdish territory and declare Kurdish independent state,

550
00:39:23.719 --> 00:39:26.920
<v Speaker 1>maybe take take advantage of the chaos. Maybe some other

551
00:39:26.960 --> 00:39:30.000
<v Speaker 1>minority groups in other part of Iran will try to

552
00:39:30.079 --> 00:39:35.400
<v Speaker 1>establish their own little states. Who kids, Maybe one day,

553
00:39:35.440 --> 00:39:40.159
<v Speaker 1>when whoever you know gets control of Tehran decides to

554
00:39:40.360 --> 00:39:44.280
<v Speaker 1>reunify Iran, there'll be a little There'll be some skirmishes

555
00:39:44.320 --> 00:39:47.719
<v Speaker 1>around there as they take back their territory. Who kids,

556
00:39:49.119 --> 00:39:52.880
<v Speaker 1>Maybe the different factions within Tehran there would like to

557
00:39:52.920 --> 00:39:56.360
<v Speaker 1>take control and they'll fight in the streets. Who kids,

558
00:39:57.960 --> 00:40:00.519
<v Speaker 1>hundreds of thousands. Well, what they don't I don't want

559
00:40:00.840 --> 00:40:05.599
<v Speaker 1>is a massive refugee crisis. Why don't they want a

560
00:40:05.599 --> 00:40:09.239
<v Speaker 1>massive refugee crisis. Charlie Coke cares about the refugees? Really,

561
00:40:09.519 --> 00:40:11.480
<v Speaker 1>he doesn't care about the refugees. What does any want?

562
00:40:12.440 --> 00:40:15.400
<v Speaker 1>He doesn't want them emigrate into Europe. That's what they're

563
00:40:15.400 --> 00:40:19.360
<v Speaker 1>really afraid of. You create chaos and then people emigrate

564
00:40:19.400 --> 00:40:22.559
<v Speaker 1>to Europe, and then a bunch of new Muslims in

565
00:40:22.599 --> 00:40:39.800
<v Speaker 1>Europe anyway. Interesting, So yeah, that is maga. Take that

566
00:40:39.920 --> 00:40:44.800
<v Speaker 1>is panic, hysteria. They just want to make it. Do nothing,

567
00:40:44.920 --> 00:40:48.760
<v Speaker 1>Just be afraid. Don't touch the world. If you touch

568
00:40:48.800 --> 00:40:51.320
<v Speaker 1>it over here, something really awful will happen and we'll

569
00:40:51.360 --> 00:40:57.360
<v Speaker 1>all die World War three. Remind you, guys, we have

<v Speaker 1>tomorrow in the cabinet room with Field Marshal Assim Munir.

588
00:42:10.199 --> 00:42:12.760
<v Speaker 1>This is maybe why he's waited, because he wants the

589
00:42:12.840 --> 00:42:17.760
<v Speaker 1>advice of Assim Munir, who is the Chief of the

590
00:42:17.920 --> 00:42:24.480
<v Speaker 1>Army Staff of the Islamic Republic a Pakistan. Pakistan, by

591
00:42:24.480 --> 00:42:26.960
<v Speaker 1>the way, is the only Muslim country in the world

592
00:42:27.280 --> 00:42:32.960
<v Speaker 1>that has nukes. They definitely have nukes, mostly targeted at India.

593
00:42:33.239 --> 00:42:37.360
<v Speaker 1>But who knows, maybe this is World War three. Anyway,

594
00:42:37.480 --> 00:42:46.039
<v Speaker 1>Trump and Field Marshal Munir from Pakistan, will, I guess,

595
00:42:46.039 --> 00:42:54.320
<v Speaker 1>decide the fate of you on tomorrow in the closed luncheon. Interesting,

596
00:42:54.639 --> 00:43:02.800
<v Speaker 1>all right, let's see what is going on here. I

597
00:43:02.800 --> 00:43:09.480
<v Speaker 1>don't know what that is, all right. I have not

598
00:43:09.679 --> 00:43:30.719
<v Speaker 1>seen the supposed additional post that Trump did earlier. Y Yeah,

599
00:43:30.760 --> 00:43:39.559
<v Speaker 1>all right, yeah, I mean the people, uh, you know,

600
00:43:39.639 --> 00:43:46.239
<v Speaker 1>Mario has interviews are so anti Israel and they're so yeah,

601
00:43:46.400 --> 00:44:01.119
<v Speaker 1>I mean it's so bad and and just incompetent, incompetent. Yeah.

602
00:44:01.159 --> 00:44:06.360
<v Speaker 1>More fake videos, lots of fake videos.

603
00:44:06.360 --> 00:44:29.800
<v Speaker 2>Cool his yeah, all right, Uh, let's see.

604
00:44:29.280 --> 00:44:33.559
<v Speaker 1>Here's here's Charlie. He goes to this whole analysis Charlie

605
00:44:33.599 --> 00:44:36.239
<v Speaker 1>Cook goes to the whole analysis of you know, the

606
00:44:36.360 --> 00:44:41.000
<v Speaker 1>two two elements pulling Trump in different directions to intervene

607
00:44:41.039 --> 00:44:44.039
<v Speaker 1>or not to intervene, to extremes. And this is what

608
00:44:44.119 --> 00:44:46.480
<v Speaker 1>you write. President Trump is not an idea lgue. He's

609
00:44:46.480 --> 00:44:50.400
<v Speaker 1>a pragmatic and he's a pragmatic and he prizes common sense.

610
00:44:50.719 --> 00:44:53.840
<v Speaker 1>He rejects both extremes and tries to find in America

611
00:44:53.880 --> 00:44:58.719
<v Speaker 1>first middle ground. When he came down escalated. Ten years ago,

612
00:44:59.159 --> 00:45:02.079
<v Speaker 1>he was clear on two things. The Iraq War was

613
00:45:02.119 --> 00:45:04.960
<v Speaker 1>a disaster and the Iran should never have a nuclear weapon.

614
00:45:05.320 --> 00:45:08.480
<v Speaker 1>For the past ten years, he has remained firm on

615
00:45:08.559 --> 00:45:13.519
<v Speaker 1>both positions. And here's the kicker. I don't know if

616
00:45:13.519 --> 00:45:17.800
<v Speaker 1>President Trump will choose to involve America against Iran, but

617
00:45:17.880 --> 00:45:22.119
<v Speaker 1>he is a man I trust to be making that decision.

618
00:45:25.119 --> 00:45:28.719
<v Speaker 1>So don't worry, whatever the considerations or anything, World War three,

619
00:45:28.760 --> 00:45:35.320
<v Speaker 1>whatever the considerations is Donald Trump. I mean, he's infallible

620
00:45:35.880 --> 00:45:38.679
<v Speaker 1>and he will make the right decision, and things are

621
00:45:38.679 --> 00:45:41.599
<v Speaker 1>going to be amazing. Things are going to be fantastic,

622
00:45:46.000 --> 00:46:16.679
<v Speaker 1>all right, all right, yeah, uh, let us see, let

623
00:46:16.800 --> 00:46:21.679
<v Speaker 1>us see, let us see. Uh yeah. I mean all

624
00:46:21.719 --> 00:46:26.480
<v Speaker 1>prices surprisingly stable. I mean the high, but the stable

625
00:46:26.639 --> 00:46:30.440
<v Speaker 1>above seventy it's stable, you know, as long as the

626
00:46:30.639 --> 00:46:33.880
<v Speaker 1>oil continues to flow out of the straight or somos

627
00:46:34.639 --> 00:46:38.840
<v Speaker 1>or prices are not budging. And I think the markets

628
00:46:38.840 --> 00:46:43.719
<v Speaker 1>are basically signaling that they believe that the Saudiast Americans

629
00:46:43.760 --> 00:46:47.239
<v Speaker 1>have basically placed constraints on the Israelis, that Israel will

630
00:46:47.239 --> 00:46:51.119
<v Speaker 1>not do anything to jeopardize the straits, and therefore that

631
00:46:51.199 --> 00:46:54.039
<v Speaker 1>the flow of oil globally is safe. There was a

632
00:46:54.039 --> 00:46:59.280
<v Speaker 1>moment earlier today to a tanker full of oil collided

633
00:46:59.320 --> 00:47:03.039
<v Speaker 1>with a a tanka. An empty tanker, a tanker full

634
00:47:03.079 --> 00:47:05.480
<v Speaker 1>of oil is a blaze. So there's a big fire

635
00:47:05.840 --> 00:47:09.800
<v Speaker 1>in the Persian Gulf and everybody was afraid that that

636
00:47:10.039 --> 00:47:12.800
<v Speaker 1>was somebody had lit it, maybe the Uranians had attacked

637
00:47:12.840 --> 00:47:14.760
<v Speaker 1>it or something like that. But now it turned out

638
00:47:14.800 --> 00:47:17.519
<v Speaker 1>just to be an accident, an accident probably caused by

639
00:47:18.559 --> 00:47:21.559
<v Speaker 1>all the activities going on around there, so it's probably

640
00:47:21.559 --> 00:47:26.679
<v Speaker 1>not irrelevant what is going on to this. But the

641
00:47:26.760 --> 00:47:38.920
<v Speaker 1>tank was not hit by military operations. All right, let's see.

642
00:47:40.400 --> 00:47:45.599
<v Speaker 1>So yeah, so far, financial markets, primarily oil markets are

643
00:47:45.639 --> 00:47:51.280
<v Speaker 1>taking the whole thing pretty well. Coude is, you know,

644
00:47:51.559 --> 00:47:55.079
<v Speaker 1>is seventy five dollars, which is still reasonable you'd expect it.

645
00:47:55.079 --> 00:47:58.039
<v Speaker 1>If they really thought the state of hormones were in

646
00:47:58.079 --> 00:48:01.239
<v Speaker 1>real danger and could be shot, Coude would be over

647
00:48:01.239 --> 00:48:05.199
<v Speaker 1>one hundred. So it's about it's about up about twenty

648
00:48:05.199 --> 00:48:09.559
<v Speaker 1>percent from from what is it the low sixties or

649
00:48:09.559 --> 00:48:12.440
<v Speaker 1>the yeah, low sixties. It's about twenty percent since the

650
00:48:12.519 --> 00:48:15.440
<v Speaker 1>war started, But that's not a huge amount given given

651
00:48:15.480 --> 00:48:18.880
<v Speaker 1>what's at stake here and given what's possible, and given

652
00:48:19.000 --> 00:48:23.679
<v Speaker 1>how much of the world's oil again flows just through

653
00:48:23.719 --> 00:48:29.119
<v Speaker 1>that area, and how much of Yeah, so it was

654
00:48:29.159 --> 00:48:32.880
<v Speaker 1>sixty three, it's not seventy five, you know, quite reasonable,

655
00:48:34.480 --> 00:48:44.360
<v Speaker 1>all right, stable coin regulations, stable coin regulations. So the

656
00:48:44.480 --> 00:48:49.920
<v Speaker 1>Senate today passed a stable coin bill which will regulate

657
00:48:50.480 --> 00:48:55.519
<v Speaker 1>the stable coin industry, and it's considered this is considered

658
00:48:55.599 --> 00:48:58.760
<v Speaker 1>a big win for crypto industry. Now, I'm not sure

659
00:48:58.760 --> 00:49:01.880
<v Speaker 1>what you know about if you don't stable coins work with. Basically,

660
00:49:02.400 --> 00:49:04.559
<v Speaker 1>what a stable coin is is a it's a digital

661
00:49:05.199 --> 00:49:07.159
<v Speaker 1>it's a it's a digital currency, or it can be

662
00:49:07.239 --> 00:49:10.440
<v Speaker 1>used as a councy. It's a digital representation of money.

663
00:49:11.400 --> 00:49:14.280
<v Speaker 1>And the reason it's called stable coin is for every

664
00:49:15.599 --> 00:49:19.079
<v Speaker 1>coin that is issued digitally, there is a dollar to

665
00:49:19.119 --> 00:49:23.599
<v Speaker 1>back it up, so it's stabilized by a reserve of dollars.

666
00:49:23.599 --> 00:49:25.519
<v Speaker 1>Think about the gold standard. How the gold standard used

667
00:49:25.559 --> 00:49:28.719
<v Speaker 1>to work. Right, There were dollars and then there was gold,

668
00:49:28.960 --> 00:49:33.119
<v Speaker 1>and then there were dollars issued that were deemable into

669
00:49:33.159 --> 00:49:36.400
<v Speaker 1>that gold, and you had to keep a reserve of

670
00:49:36.440 --> 00:49:42.599
<v Speaker 1>gold to give credibility to the dollars that you were issuing. Now,

671
00:49:42.639 --> 00:49:45.800
<v Speaker 1>this faction of resolve. But let's assume no fraction of reserve.

672
00:49:46.039 --> 00:49:49.239
<v Speaker 1>There's just gold dollars. Every dollar is exchangeable into gold.

673
00:49:49.800 --> 00:49:53.039
<v Speaker 1>A stable coin is the same thing, just instead of

674
00:49:53.079 --> 00:49:57.679
<v Speaker 1>gold using dollars. And then you've got these coins too,

675
00:49:58.880 --> 00:50:03.000
<v Speaker 1>you know that always exchangeable two dollars. You can go

676
00:50:03.119 --> 00:50:08.480
<v Speaker 1>to the exchange, the exchange. The biggest exchange right now

677
00:50:08.559 --> 00:50:12.639
<v Speaker 1>for for stable coins is tether. The problem with tether

678
00:50:12.760 --> 00:50:16.119
<v Speaker 1>is Tether is not based in the United States, so

679
00:50:16.159 --> 00:50:19.960
<v Speaker 1>it's not clear that these regulations will the tether will

680
00:50:20.519 --> 00:50:23.920
<v Speaker 1>qualify under these regulations, and it might be there might

681
00:50:23.920 --> 00:50:27.880
<v Speaker 1>be limited use in the United States for tether for

682
00:50:28.000 --> 00:50:30.280
<v Speaker 1>tether stable coins. I mean, maybe this is one of

683
00:50:30.320 --> 00:50:32.840
<v Speaker 1>the reasons the Senate passed this bill because it was

684
00:50:32.880 --> 00:50:36.719
<v Speaker 1>lobbied for by Circle, which is the largest largest US

685
00:50:36.760 --> 00:50:45.000
<v Speaker 1>based stable coin issuer. Circle recently went public and they

686
00:50:45.039 --> 00:50:48.800
<v Speaker 1>want regulations makes it. They want rules of game, which

687
00:50:48.840 --> 00:50:53.079
<v Speaker 1>I think they can abide by. Often incumbents in a

688
00:50:53.119 --> 00:50:56.599
<v Speaker 1>field like regulations because they helped to keep out competition

689
00:50:57.159 --> 00:51:00.440
<v Speaker 1>and they also take away down certainty. You know, is

690
00:51:00.480 --> 00:51:02.079
<v Speaker 1>the SEC gonna come after us? They're not going to

691
00:51:02.119 --> 00:51:04.719
<v Speaker 1>come after us. What's you know what counts what doesn't count.

692
00:51:05.280 --> 00:51:09.400
<v Speaker 1>So today we got rules for what a what these

693
00:51:09.400 --> 00:51:12.679
<v Speaker 1>stable coil companies can do. You know, what kind of

694
00:51:12.719 --> 00:51:15.440
<v Speaker 1>reserves do they have to have? Do they They don't

695
00:51:15.480 --> 00:51:17.559
<v Speaker 1>literally have to hold dollars. If they literally had to

696
00:51:17.559 --> 00:51:22.519
<v Speaker 1>hold dollars, then you know they they would they could

697
00:51:22.599 --> 00:51:24.519
<v Speaker 1>not make money, right, it would be one to one.

698
00:51:25.119 --> 00:51:27.599
<v Speaker 1>So instead of dollars, they're going to be allowed to

699
00:51:27.639 --> 00:51:31.119
<v Speaker 1>hold treasury securities so they can make interest on the

700
00:51:31.119 --> 00:51:34.760
<v Speaker 1>treasury securities. Right now, that interest is pretty good. You know,

701
00:51:34.800 --> 00:51:37.880
<v Speaker 1>they can make three four percent on these treasury securities.

702
00:51:37.920 --> 00:51:41.199
<v Speaker 1>The stresses security is incredibly liquid, so anytime you go

703
00:51:41.280 --> 00:51:44.760
<v Speaker 1>and redeem your stable coin, you will get dollars because

704
00:51:44.760 --> 00:51:48.760
<v Speaker 1>they'll sell one of those treasury securities. The problem, of

705
00:51:48.760 --> 00:51:52.159
<v Speaker 1>course with this is as long as interest rates are decent,

706
00:51:52.320 --> 00:51:56.039
<v Speaker 1>like they are right now, I mean relatively high, that's fine.

707
00:51:56.039 --> 00:51:58.519
<v Speaker 1>But what happens when interstates if interestates ever go back

708
00:51:58.519 --> 00:52:02.360
<v Speaker 1>to zero, then all these stable coin companies go out

709
00:52:02.360 --> 00:52:05.519
<v Speaker 1>of business because they can't make any money because they

710
00:52:05.599 --> 00:52:09.119
<v Speaker 1>buy treasuries and treasuries and not yielding anything. Then then

711
00:52:09.280 --> 00:52:11.559
<v Speaker 1>what they start doing, and this is what happens, and

712
00:52:11.599 --> 00:52:14.159
<v Speaker 1>this is what this bill is trying to control. Then

713
00:52:14.239 --> 00:52:16.880
<v Speaker 1>what happens is they start taking on risk. Instead of

714
00:52:16.920 --> 00:52:21.000
<v Speaker 1>just buying treasuries short term treasures, they buy long term

715
00:52:21.039 --> 00:52:24.519
<v Speaker 1>treasures which they can sell. But long term treasures can

716
00:52:24.559 --> 00:52:27.320
<v Speaker 1>lose value if interestates go up, and then they can

717
00:52:27.400 --> 00:52:33.599
<v Speaker 1>lose money. So these regulations are trying to make this,

718
00:52:36.719 --> 00:52:41.840
<v Speaker 1>you know, safe. Government regulations almost never do this effectively

719
00:52:41.960 --> 00:52:49.000
<v Speaker 1>without creating distortions and provisions and conflicts of interest and

720
00:52:49.519 --> 00:52:52.920
<v Speaker 1>mobil hazard and a bunch of other things. Now, why

721
00:52:52.920 --> 00:52:55.239
<v Speaker 1>would you want this because you didn't buy anything with

722
00:52:55.440 --> 00:53:03.440
<v Speaker 1>with with dollars? Well, imagine if you're Amazon or Walmart.

723
00:53:03.639 --> 00:53:09.440
<v Speaker 1>Now note that both Amazon and Walmart actually exploring issuing

724
00:53:09.480 --> 00:53:13.480
<v Speaker 1>their own stable coins. Now what's interesting is this regulation

725
00:53:14.639 --> 00:53:22.079
<v Speaker 1>has special burdens on Amazon and Walmart and non financial

726
00:53:22.079 --> 00:53:26.119
<v Speaker 1>companies and not crypto companies to do this. So it's

727
00:53:26.159 --> 00:53:28.280
<v Speaker 1>going to be more difficult for them. They're going to

728
00:53:28.320 --> 00:53:33.239
<v Speaker 1>be more heavily regulated. Why because companies like Circle don't

729
00:53:33.280 --> 00:53:36.840
<v Speaker 1>want to compete with Amazon and Walmont. But imagine you're

730
00:53:36.880 --> 00:53:40.000
<v Speaker 1>Amazon and every time somebody uses a credit card to

731
00:53:40.039 --> 00:53:43.800
<v Speaker 1>buy something, you have to pay I don't know two

732
00:53:43.800 --> 00:53:46.840
<v Speaker 1>percent to visa and mastercout two and a half per

733
00:53:46.880 --> 00:53:52.920
<v Speaker 1>cent to make an express something, right, but you could

734
00:53:52.920 --> 00:53:57.840
<v Speaker 1>take stable coins, not pay anything and just convert the

735
00:53:57.840 --> 00:54:01.599
<v Speaker 1>stable coin. It's a dollar immediately exchange at the Circle exchange,

736
00:54:01.920 --> 00:54:06.079
<v Speaker 1>or if it's Amazon's exchange, it's your own exchange. You

737
00:54:06.079 --> 00:54:10.639
<v Speaker 1>can issue stable coins to Americans, like if I have

738
00:54:10.679 --> 00:54:14.079
<v Speaker 1>a prime account with Amazon, they tell me, you know,

739
00:54:14.400 --> 00:54:19.360
<v Speaker 1>we'll you know, we'll take your money, we'll buy treasuries

740
00:54:19.400 --> 00:54:23.559
<v Speaker 1>with it, and we'll issue you stable coins, and that'll

741
00:54:23.599 --> 00:54:27.000
<v Speaker 1>make it much easier for you to buy stuff on Amazon.

742
00:54:27.960 --> 00:54:31.360
<v Speaker 1>And because we're not having to pay Visa and MasterCard

743
00:54:31.719 --> 00:54:35.280
<v Speaker 1>whatever two percent we're going to give you. We're not

744
00:54:35.280 --> 00:54:38.320
<v Speaker 1>going to pay you interest on the money you deposited

745
00:54:38.360 --> 00:54:40.280
<v Speaker 1>for the stable coin, but we are going to give

746
00:54:40.280 --> 00:54:43.280
<v Speaker 1>you a discount of two percent, two percent, five percent

747
00:54:43.559 --> 00:54:49.119
<v Speaker 1>something on everything you buy using the stable coin. And

748
00:54:49.480 --> 00:54:54.679
<v Speaker 1>it'll just make transactions easier and simpler, you know. You know,

749
00:54:54.760 --> 00:54:58.760
<v Speaker 1>for years people have talked about digital wallets. Well, stable

750
00:54:58.800 --> 00:55:05.000
<v Speaker 1>coins can facilitate digital wallets. You know, they can facilitate

751
00:55:05.119 --> 00:55:12.159
<v Speaker 1>small denominations. So there is actual use case here. This

752
00:55:12.320 --> 00:55:16.920
<v Speaker 1>is one of those crypto uses that might catch on again.

753
00:55:17.840 --> 00:55:24.920
<v Speaker 1>More likely to catch on if interstates are reasonably high. Now,

754
00:55:24.960 --> 00:55:29.119
<v Speaker 1>Amazon and Walmart can do this even if interestates are zero,

755
00:55:29.440 --> 00:55:32.920
<v Speaker 1>because they can offer you a discount because they didn't charge,

756
00:55:32.960 --> 00:55:35.239
<v Speaker 1>they didn't get paid, they didn't get charged by Visa

757
00:55:35.280 --> 00:55:38.280
<v Speaker 1>and master Card. They could also give you a higher

758
00:55:38.320 --> 00:55:41.199
<v Speaker 1>discount because they're also getting interest on the money you

759
00:55:41.239 --> 00:55:45.760
<v Speaker 1>gave them that they put in treasuries. They maybe get

760
00:55:45.840 --> 00:55:48.239
<v Speaker 1>three percent there, they get two percent from Amazon. From

761
00:55:48.480 --> 00:55:53.119
<v Speaker 1>Visa now they just say five percent and give you

762
00:55:53.159 --> 00:55:55.519
<v Speaker 1>a five percent discount. That's a significant discount and everything

763
00:55:55.559 --> 00:55:59.440
<v Speaker 1>you buy, so lots of different ways to do this.

764
00:56:00.639 --> 00:56:05.039
<v Speaker 1>Visa and MasterCard of course realize this is competition, So

765
00:56:05.199 --> 00:56:07.800
<v Speaker 1>Visa MasterCard are going to try to get into the sector.

766
00:56:08.280 --> 00:56:10.559
<v Speaker 1>They're going to be the competitors to Circle, and I

767
00:56:10.599 --> 00:56:13.440
<v Speaker 1>think ultimately they will probably dominate this, but we'll see.

768
00:56:13.719 --> 00:56:16.159
<v Speaker 1>Sometimes it's a new up and comer that figures out

769
00:56:16.199 --> 00:56:19.519
<v Speaker 1>how to do this better. The other thing that is

770
00:56:19.559 --> 00:56:24.440
<v Speaker 1>big in terms of in terms of stable coins is

771
00:56:24.599 --> 00:56:30.480
<v Speaker 1>moving money again across countries instead of buying bitcoin. Let's

772
00:56:30.480 --> 00:56:32.119
<v Speaker 1>say you're in Egypt and you want to get money

773
00:56:32.119 --> 00:56:35.280
<v Speaker 1>out of Egypt, and the capital controls see you buy bitcoin,

774
00:56:35.719 --> 00:56:37.559
<v Speaker 1>you move the bitcoin to the US, and you sell it.

775
00:56:37.719 --> 00:56:41.480
<v Speaker 1>But in transferring the money and going through all of that,

776
00:56:42.239 --> 00:56:47.119
<v Speaker 1>you could gain or lose I don't know, because bitcoin

777
00:56:47.199 --> 00:56:51.079
<v Speaker 1>is so volatile. Stable coins you don't lose. So you

778
00:56:51.119 --> 00:56:54.559
<v Speaker 1>could move the money as a stable coin and you

779
00:56:54.599 --> 00:56:57.000
<v Speaker 1>know you're going to have exactly the same number of

780
00:56:57.079 --> 00:56:59.800
<v Speaker 1>dollars on the other side of the transaction as you

781
00:56:59.840 --> 00:57:04.039
<v Speaker 1>did at the beginning of the transaction. So again, very

782
00:57:04.159 --> 00:57:08.880
<v Speaker 1>very useful for moving money around, for moving money around.

783
00:57:12.400 --> 00:57:20.119
<v Speaker 1>All right, So this is it is cool. It's a

784
00:57:20.119 --> 00:57:24.360
<v Speaker 1>cool industry. I'm always I haven't read the regulation, but

785
00:57:24.400 --> 00:57:29.880
<v Speaker 1>I'm always suspicious of these kinds of regulations and kind

786
00:57:29.920 --> 00:57:33.599
<v Speaker 1>of the incentives that they provide. Republicans overwhelming he voted

787
00:57:33.639 --> 00:57:36.400
<v Speaker 1>for this. They got a number of Democrats to vote

788
00:57:36.440 --> 00:57:39.280
<v Speaker 1>as well, so they passed sixty eight I think to

789
00:57:39.360 --> 00:57:42.519
<v Speaker 1>thirty two, so a lot of Democrats on board. The

790
00:57:42.599 --> 00:57:46.679
<v Speaker 1>left wing of the Democratic Party was against it. Elizabeth

791
00:57:46.760 --> 00:57:48.719
<v Speaker 1>One was against it. That gives me a little bit

792
00:57:48.760 --> 00:57:54.400
<v Speaker 1>of more confidence in it, Elizabeth One. You know what

793
00:57:54.400 --> 00:57:56.239
<v Speaker 1>did she say? I had it here a second ago.

794
00:57:56.800 --> 00:58:00.400
<v Speaker 1>The quote disappeared on me. The Genus Act as the

795
00:58:00.519 --> 00:58:05.159
<v Speaker 1>basic safeguards necessary to ensure that stable coins don't blow

796
00:58:05.280 --> 00:58:09.559
<v Speaker 1>up our entire financial system. That's Elizabeth Wanan's World War III.

797
00:58:10.159 --> 00:58:13.119
<v Speaker 1>But she's very anti crypto, very anti anything to do

798
00:58:13.159 --> 00:58:18.000
<v Speaker 1>with crypto, So how to take her seriously? Kristin Gilbert,

799
00:58:18.039 --> 00:58:20.079
<v Speaker 1>who is a Democrat for New York who's considered more

800
00:58:21.320 --> 00:58:24.920
<v Speaker 1>of a moderate, got behind it after some tweaks are

801
00:58:24.920 --> 00:58:28.199
<v Speaker 1>made to make it harder for non financial companies to

802
00:58:28.239 --> 00:58:30.800
<v Speaker 1>issue stable coins. These are the tweaks that all make

803
00:58:30.840 --> 00:58:34.960
<v Speaker 1>it harder for Amazon or Walmart. So she wanted to,

804
00:58:36.039 --> 00:58:39.519
<v Speaker 1>I don't know, protect whom, protect Visa and master Card

805
00:58:39.760 --> 00:58:43.599
<v Speaker 1>from competition for Walmart and Amazon. So this kind of

806
00:58:43.639 --> 00:58:46.880
<v Speaker 1>wheeling and dealing going on. My guess is there's still

807
00:58:47.079 --> 00:58:51.400
<v Speaker 1>enough there that Amazon and Walmart could still issue their

808
00:58:51.400 --> 00:58:55.039
<v Speaker 1>own coins. Of course, there's one of the elephants in

809
00:58:55.039 --> 00:58:57.440
<v Speaker 1>the room, if you will. There was a company called

810
00:58:57.639 --> 00:59:00.719
<v Speaker 1>World Liberty Financial. You might have heard of it. It

811
00:59:00.800 --> 00:59:04.679
<v Speaker 1>launched in September, and it is going to issue its

812
00:59:04.679 --> 00:59:09.199
<v Speaker 1>own stable coin. Or oh, it's already issued its own

813
00:59:09.199 --> 00:59:15.119
<v Speaker 1>stable coin earlier this year. Guess who owns World Liberty Financial.

814
00:59:16.599 --> 00:59:25.320
<v Speaker 1>You won't be able to guess who owns World Liberty Financial. Yeah,

815
00:59:25.440 --> 00:59:28.719
<v Speaker 1>I mean, nobody's getting un chat yet, but it's Trump

816
00:59:29.000 --> 00:59:33.480
<v Speaker 1>or the Trump Organization. Not Donald Trump, but the Trump organization.

817
00:59:34.400 --> 00:59:37.320
<v Speaker 1>They owned World Liberty Financial. Now, the bill mandates the

818
00:59:37.320 --> 00:59:41.239
<v Speaker 1>regulator supervis issuers of large stable coins in some of

819
00:59:41.280 --> 00:59:44.239
<v Speaker 1>the same ways they regular banks. Stable Coin issues would

820
00:59:44.280 --> 00:59:46.480
<v Speaker 1>need to comply with the anti money laundering rules and

821
00:59:46.559 --> 00:59:49.400
<v Speaker 1>sanctions to helping sure that they aren't used by criminals.

822
00:59:49.760 --> 00:59:53.119
<v Speaker 1>It also requires them to hold one dollar reserve cash

823
00:59:53.159 --> 00:59:55.639
<v Speaker 1>or treasury bills for every dollar stable coin. Yep, I

824
00:59:55.679 --> 01:00:00.480
<v Speaker 1>mean that makes sense. And then it also prohibits executive

825
01:00:00.519 --> 01:00:05.079
<v Speaker 1>branch officials and lawmakers from issuing stable coins. And then

826
01:00:05.119 --> 01:00:08.920
<v Speaker 1>the question is what about World Liberty Financial. And of

827
01:00:08.960 --> 01:00:13.199
<v Speaker 1>course the Trump organization is saying, Dad's not evolved. It's

828
01:00:13.239 --> 01:00:17.199
<v Speaker 1>just the kids. It's the kids, it's their adventure. Dad

829
01:00:17.280 --> 01:00:19.880
<v Speaker 1>is not evolved. The money goes to him, but he

830
01:00:19.960 --> 01:00:22.039
<v Speaker 1>is not going to use it while he's president. He'll

831
01:00:22.119 --> 01:00:30.679
<v Speaker 1>use it afterwards, so he's not involved. It doesn't count. Yeah,

832
01:00:30.719 --> 01:00:34.760
<v Speaker 1>So there you go. So it is. I'm all for

833
01:00:35.760 --> 01:00:37.960
<v Speaker 1>making I think stable coins at the end of the day,

834
01:00:39.360 --> 01:00:42.400
<v Speaker 1>you know, some of the more likely uses of crypto

835
01:00:43.239 --> 01:00:46.119
<v Speaker 1>it's not real crypto in the sense of you know

836
01:00:46.159 --> 01:00:49.079
<v Speaker 1>what mean people mean by bitcoin and stuff, but it

837
01:00:49.199 --> 01:00:55.000
<v Speaker 1>is a probably under the right circumstances, and increase potentially

838
01:00:55.000 --> 01:00:59.000
<v Speaker 1>increase efficiency in our payment system, which is not very

839
01:00:59.000 --> 01:01:01.800
<v Speaker 1>efficient in the United States, although not bad if you

840
01:01:01.920 --> 01:01:08.400
<v Speaker 1>think about Venmo and pepeal. All Right, finally, remember last

841
01:01:08.440 --> 01:01:13.400
<v Speaker 1>week Trump put out this tweet saying, you know, he's

842
01:01:13.400 --> 01:01:17.119
<v Speaker 1>talked to a number of people in industry and uh

843
01:01:17.280 --> 01:01:19.519
<v Speaker 1>and and and it's really not good for ICE to

844
01:01:19.559 --> 01:01:24.159
<v Speaker 1>go after people in the agriculture, hotel and restaurant industries.

845
01:01:25.360 --> 01:01:27.639
<v Speaker 1>You know, they're they're good workers. They've been there a

846
01:01:27.639 --> 01:01:31.199
<v Speaker 1>long time. And and it was actually like this movement

847
01:01:31.280 --> 01:01:34.760
<v Speaker 1>to have ICE stop doing that. As ICE supposedly for

848
01:01:34.760 --> 01:01:37.760
<v Speaker 1>a few days stop doing that. They stopped going to

849
01:01:37.840 --> 01:01:41.920
<v Speaker 1>agricultural businesses, they stopped going to hotels. Uh, they stopped

850
01:01:41.960 --> 01:01:45.320
<v Speaker 1>going to restaurants because you know, Trump, Trump thought it

851
01:01:45.360 --> 01:01:50.920
<v Speaker 1>was a bad idea, and uh and and so on. Anyway,

852
01:01:51.320 --> 01:01:54.599
<v Speaker 1>so so that happened last week. Trump had the tweet,

853
01:01:54.639 --> 01:01:56.920
<v Speaker 1>and then he told ICE to stop it, and and

854
01:01:57.000 --> 01:02:03.039
<v Speaker 1>supposed they did. Uh. Well, the problem is they can't

855
01:02:03.039 --> 01:02:06.800
<v Speaker 1>reach the numbers they got numbers. They can't reach the numbers.

856
01:02:09.159 --> 01:02:12.320
<v Speaker 1>So officials in the Immigration and Customer Enforcement, including its

857
01:02:12.360 --> 01:02:16.880
<v Speaker 1>Homeland Security Investigation divisions, told agency leaders in a call

858
01:02:17.039 --> 01:02:25.119
<v Speaker 1>Monday that agents must continue conducting immigration rates at agricultural businesses, hotels,

859
01:02:25.159 --> 01:02:28.280
<v Speaker 1>and restaurants. According to two people familiar with the call,

860
01:02:29.000 --> 01:02:32.079
<v Speaker 1>The new instructions were shared in an eleven AM call

861
01:02:32.480 --> 01:02:37.039
<v Speaker 1>to representatives and thirty field officers across the country. This

862
01:02:37.119 --> 01:02:43.519
<v Speaker 1>is Miller, evil Miller, you know, basically exerting his influence

863
01:02:44.440 --> 01:02:47.960
<v Speaker 1>and getting them to reverse the policy and getting them

864
01:02:48.000 --> 01:02:53.800
<v Speaker 1>to go after those evil, hardworking immigrants working in the

865
01:02:53.840 --> 01:02:58.119
<v Speaker 1>fields and everywhere else. So this just shows you the

866
01:02:58.159 --> 01:03:05.000
<v Speaker 1>power of Mega ICE and HSA. Field office supervisors began

867
01:03:05.119 --> 01:03:09.000
<v Speaker 1>learning about a likely reversal of the exemption policy on

868
01:03:09.079 --> 01:03:12.840
<v Speaker 1>Sunday after hearing from DHS leadership that the White House

869
01:03:13.199 --> 01:03:16.639
<v Speaker 1>did not support it. According to one person with knowledge

870
01:03:16.639 --> 01:03:20.199
<v Speaker 1>of the reversal, again, this is Miller. An official from

871
01:03:20.280 --> 01:03:23.519
<v Speaker 1>DHS had sent an email Thursday telling the agents to

872
01:03:23.639 --> 01:03:28.440
<v Speaker 1>hold on all work site enforcement investigation operations on agricultural

873
01:03:28.679 --> 01:03:34.280
<v Speaker 1>including aquaculture and meatpacking plans, restaurants, and operating hotels. That

874
01:03:34.320 --> 01:03:38.760
<v Speaker 1>message went out hours after Trump suggested he was sympathetic

875
01:03:38.800 --> 01:03:42.159
<v Speaker 1>to concerns raised by farmers and hospitality execs about his

876
01:03:42.519 --> 01:03:47.119
<v Speaker 1>deportation plans. Uh, this is from again, this is a

877
01:03:47.679 --> 01:03:53.519
<v Speaker 1>this is all from the Washington Post quote. There will

878
01:03:53.559 --> 01:03:57.719
<v Speaker 1>be no safe spaces for industries who harbor violent criminals

879
01:03:58.199 --> 01:04:03.239
<v Speaker 1>or purposely try to under mine ICE efforts, the assistant

880
01:04:03.239 --> 01:04:06.880
<v Speaker 1>security for the DHS said Monday, work site enforcement remains

881
01:04:06.920 --> 01:04:12.000
<v Speaker 1>a cornerstone of our efforts the safeguard public safety, national security,

882
01:04:12.199 --> 01:04:17.079
<v Speaker 1>and economic stability. Yeah, it's very economically stable to throw

883
01:04:17.559 --> 01:04:21.360
<v Speaker 1>millions of workers from the country, all the ones. Just

884
01:04:21.480 --> 01:04:26.079
<v Speaker 1>throw them up, and the businesses are going to be very,

885
01:04:26.320 --> 01:04:33.119
<v Speaker 1>very very stable. White does the w Chief of Staff

886
01:04:33.599 --> 01:04:36.800
<v Speaker 1>Steven Miller there he Is said last month that the

887
01:04:36.840 --> 01:04:41.119
<v Speaker 1>administration wants ICE to make a minimum of three thousand

888
01:04:41.320 --> 01:04:44.639
<v Speaker 1>arrests a day. Three thousand lives are being destroyed on

889
01:04:44.679 --> 01:04:48.960
<v Speaker 1>a daily basis. In an interview last week, Trump Borders

890
01:04:48.960 --> 01:04:52.400
<v Speaker 1>our Tom holman Is told the Post that arrest that

891
01:04:52.599 --> 01:04:56.679
<v Speaker 1>increased around two thousand a day not high enough. They're

892
01:04:56.679 --> 01:05:06.119
<v Speaker 1>not making that three thousand a day anyway. Trump had

893
01:05:06.119 --> 01:05:08.800
<v Speaker 1>been pulled in two directions on the issue recently, coming

894
01:05:08.920 --> 01:05:12.480
<v Speaker 1>under pressure from executives in agriculture and hospitality industries to

895
01:05:12.599 --> 01:05:16.000
<v Speaker 1>loosen up on sweeping deportation policy and was costing them

896
01:05:16.000 --> 01:05:20.119
<v Speaker 1>in migrant workers. You know so, he wrote. Remember he

897
01:05:20.159 --> 01:05:23.599
<v Speaker 1>wrote that Tweet Miller, an architect of much of Trump's

898
01:05:23.599 --> 01:05:28.199
<v Speaker 1>aggressive immigration policy, had privately opposed covering out exemptions for

899
01:05:28.239 --> 01:05:31.559
<v Speaker 1>certain industries did rely heavily in workers without legal status,

900
01:05:31.760 --> 01:05:34.519
<v Speaker 1>according to two people with knowledge of the advocacy in

901
01:05:34.559 --> 01:05:40.880
<v Speaker 1>recent days against the measure. Brooke Rawlins, the Agricultural Secretary, meanwhile,

902
01:05:41.000 --> 01:05:43.519
<v Speaker 1>was on the opposite side of the issue, stressing to

903
01:05:43.559 --> 01:05:46.599
<v Speaker 1>Trump the concerns that those in the farming industry had

904
01:05:46.719 --> 01:05:51.920
<v Speaker 1>raised about losing workers. Note, the workers themselves have no voice.

905
01:05:51.960 --> 01:05:54.199
<v Speaker 1>Yet nobody cares about the workers. Nobody cares about these

906
01:05:54.280 --> 01:06:02.800
<v Speaker 1>human beings. They're just pieces of meat. Yeah. Some immigration

907
01:06:02.880 --> 01:06:05.320
<v Speaker 1>experts say ICE would need to ramp up worksite enforcement

908
01:06:05.360 --> 01:06:10.239
<v Speaker 1>to meet administration's ambitious arrest quotas. Past raids and meatpacking plans,

909
01:06:10.239 --> 01:06:13.679
<v Speaker 1>for instance, have led to hundreds of arrests once other

910
01:06:13.760 --> 01:06:18.360
<v Speaker 1>labor intensive industries, including farms, factories, and clothing manufacturers. The

911
01:06:18.440 --> 01:06:22.679
<v Speaker 1>June twelfth Memo acknowledged that avoiding these large scale employees

912
01:06:22.920 --> 01:06:26.039
<v Speaker 1>would hinder ice officers' efforts, saying we acknowledged it by

913
01:06:26.039 --> 01:06:30.679
<v Speaker 1>taking this off the table, that we are eliminating significant

914
01:06:30.800 --> 01:06:40.039
<v Speaker 1>number of potential targets. Millowins liberty freedom in this country

915
01:06:41.719 --> 01:06:49.800
<v Speaker 1>and business owners and workers people work lose, lose. Here's

916
01:06:49.840 --> 01:06:53.639
<v Speaker 1>here's a post by the way, Uh there was posted

917
01:06:53.639 --> 01:06:58.079
<v Speaker 1>by a mega guy you know. During when when Trump

918
01:06:58.320 --> 01:07:03.639
<v Speaker 1>uh you know, said to know to enforcing this in industry,

919
01:07:03.679 --> 01:07:05.960
<v Speaker 1>He says, the United States is the only country on

920
01:07:06.000 --> 01:07:12.159
<v Speaker 1>earth we corporate profits are prioritized over national interests. Corporations

921
01:07:12.159 --> 01:07:14.639
<v Speaker 1>that employ illegal aliens to work in their farms and

922
01:07:14.639 --> 01:07:19.679
<v Speaker 1>hotels should be fined heavily. I'm surprised he is not

923
01:07:19.880 --> 01:07:25.880
<v Speaker 1>calling for the execution. Why not we should call for

924
01:07:25.880 --> 01:07:33.400
<v Speaker 1>the execution of employers. I mean, they're doing something illegal,

925
01:07:33.519 --> 01:07:38.000
<v Speaker 1>very illegal, very illegal, World War III illegal type. They

926
01:07:38.039 --> 01:07:43.000
<v Speaker 1>should they should really suffer the consequences. I think. Anyway,

927
01:07:43.760 --> 01:07:48.440
<v Speaker 1>that is the news for this June seventeenth, as we

928
01:07:48.480 --> 01:07:51.840
<v Speaker 1>wait for Donald Trump to make up his mind. Will

929
01:07:51.880 --> 01:07:56.280
<v Speaker 1>he won't he join his well in its attack on Iran?

930
01:07:58.960 --> 01:08:05.039
<v Speaker 1>All right, let me remind everybody that this is a

959
01:10:14.279 --> 01:10:17.479

975
01:11:21.640 --> 01:11:25.000
<v Speaker 1>Ramas is gone, Risbela gone, and with you on cooked

976
01:11:25.399 --> 01:11:29.520
<v Speaker 1>more Ara countries will sign the Abamac Cords. We'll see

977
01:11:29.560 --> 01:11:32.359
<v Speaker 1>the beginning of a sustained peace and prosperity in the

978
01:11:32.399 --> 01:11:35.520
<v Speaker 1>Middle East. Well, I mean, you know that that is

979
01:11:35.560 --> 01:11:38.680
<v Speaker 1>one very optimistic view of what could happen. You know,

980
01:11:38.880 --> 01:11:43.399
<v Speaker 1>Ramas might be gone, but Palestinians on the West Bank

981
01:11:43.479 --> 01:11:47.279
<v Speaker 1>and in Gaza I have not accepted the existence of

982
01:11:47.319 --> 01:11:49.680
<v Speaker 1>the state of Israel. They're not friendly towards Israel. Now

983
01:11:49.680 --> 01:11:53.760
<v Speaker 1>the Allies are slowly disappearing, so they're going to struggle.

984
01:11:54.119 --> 01:11:56.680
<v Speaker 1>I think it is a it's going to be unique

985
01:11:56.680 --> 01:12:00.680
<v Speaker 1>opportunity over the next few months years to to kind

986
01:12:00.720 --> 01:12:02.720
<v Speaker 1>of deal with the Palestinians one way or the other,

987
01:12:04.000 --> 01:12:08.000
<v Speaker 1>to pacify them and to have a deal with them.

988
01:12:08.319 --> 01:12:11.119
<v Speaker 1>I think that, Yes, I think, as I said, Iran

989
01:12:12.359 --> 01:12:15.119
<v Speaker 1>is like the fall of the Berlin Wall. Remember though

990
01:12:15.159 --> 01:12:18.800
<v Speaker 1>the fall of the Berlin Wall, ultimately we got Russia

991
01:12:19.199 --> 01:12:24.479
<v Speaker 1>with Putin. So I agree with you in the short

992
01:12:24.520 --> 01:12:27.239
<v Speaker 1>and medium term, short and medium term for the next

993
01:12:27.279 --> 01:12:32.159
<v Speaker 1>twenty years, I think Israel has bought itself peace. I

994
01:12:32.199 --> 01:12:34.520
<v Speaker 1>think we're gonna have peace in the Middle East basically

995
01:12:34.720 --> 01:12:40.359
<v Speaker 1>for twenty years now. Now, a lot of work is

996
01:12:40.399 --> 01:12:47.239
<v Speaker 1>going to have to be done to eradicate whatever Islamist

997
01:12:47.279 --> 01:12:51.560
<v Speaker 1>elements still around. Isis and Arkada quite strong in North

998
01:12:51.600 --> 01:12:57.920
<v Speaker 1>Africa in the subsh In just the Suhal the Sahala,

999
01:12:57.960 --> 01:13:00.960
<v Speaker 1>which is just you know, the southern part of the

1000
01:13:01.000 --> 01:13:05.600
<v Speaker 1>Sahava Desert. Uh, they're very strong there. Uh, they're still

1001
01:13:06.000 --> 01:13:08.760
<v Speaker 1>We've got Pakistan with with nukes and and a and

1002
01:13:08.800 --> 01:13:14.760
<v Speaker 1>a Islamist leaning. Uh. You still got Taliban in Afghanistan.

1003
01:13:15.920 --> 01:13:19.479
<v Speaker 1>But yeah, the real threats to Israel, the direct certainly

1004
01:13:19.479 --> 01:13:23.279
<v Speaker 1>the direct threats to Israel will be gone and Israel

1005
01:13:23.279 --> 01:13:30.720
<v Speaker 1>can enjoy a pretty lengthy period of I think peace

1006
01:13:31.239 --> 01:13:35.560
<v Speaker 1>of peace and and the West now has to you

1007
01:13:35.600 --> 01:13:39.319
<v Speaker 1>don't get some balls and finish the job and and

1008
01:13:39.319 --> 01:13:43.640
<v Speaker 1>and destroy these Islamist organizations wherever they are so uh

1009
01:13:43.880 --> 01:13:49.840
<v Speaker 1>So that'll pacify Europe, It'll pacify the Muslims in Europe.

1010
01:13:50.319 --> 01:13:55.399
<v Speaker 1>You know, you know you know, eliminate their incentives towards Islamism.

1011
01:13:55.800 --> 01:13:58.079
<v Speaker 1>I mean the defeat of Iwan is a big step

1012
01:13:58.079 --> 01:14:00.520
<v Speaker 1>in that direction. The West will have to pick it

1013
01:14:00.600 --> 01:14:10.920
<v Speaker 1>up beyond that, and so uh yeah, I mean this, this,

1014
01:14:10.920 --> 01:14:13.479
<v Speaker 1>this is this, this is monumental. As I've said, this

1015
01:14:13.840 --> 01:14:17.039
<v Speaker 1>is the biggest geopolitical events since the follow the Berlin Wall.

1016
01:14:17.079 --> 01:14:20.000
<v Speaker 1>But to follow the Bolin Wall was not in spite

1017
01:14:20.000 --> 01:14:22.000
<v Speaker 1>of a certain book that was written. It was not

1018
01:14:22.039 --> 01:14:28.319
<v Speaker 1>the end of history. Conflict did continue. We sold Russia,

1019
01:14:28.760 --> 01:14:31.000
<v Speaker 1>we saw the rights of China, we saw the rise

1020
01:14:31.039 --> 01:14:35.760
<v Speaker 1>of Islamism. And there's still some problems. I mean, what

1021
01:14:35.800 --> 01:14:39.039
<v Speaker 1>if what if the lead of Saudi Arabia is taken out?

1022
01:14:39.359 --> 01:14:42.960
<v Speaker 1>What is Turkey's ambitions? What does Turki do now that

1023
01:14:43.000 --> 01:14:46.640
<v Speaker 1>Iran is out and Turkey becomes maybe the strongest military

1024
01:14:47.439 --> 01:14:49.960
<v Speaker 1>in the Muslim in in in the in the Muslim

1025
01:14:49.960 --> 01:14:53.279
<v Speaker 1>part of the Middle East. What has Turki learned from this?

1026
01:14:53.640 --> 01:14:57.680
<v Speaker 1>Uh So, A lot of challenges, bet a lot of upside,

1027
01:14:57.760 --> 01:15:00.720
<v Speaker 1>a huge amount of upside, and I think yes, short

1028
01:15:00.760 --> 01:15:05.680
<v Speaker 1>to medium term peace for Israel and the potential for

1029
01:15:05.760 --> 01:15:08.600
<v Speaker 1>real prosperity, which will of course depend on the kind

1030
01:15:08.640 --> 01:15:12.399
<v Speaker 1>of economic policy staying braced. You got a little bit.

1031
01:15:12.880 --> 01:15:18.560
<v Speaker 1>Can you recommend a book summarizing ideas of key philosophers? Well,

1032
01:15:18.600 --> 01:15:23.880
<v Speaker 1>I mean i'd recommend Lennapeacock's book on the History of

1033
01:15:23.880 --> 01:15:28.439
<v Speaker 1>Philosophy or his lecture series on the History of Philosophy. Uh,

1034
01:15:28.800 --> 01:15:30.760
<v Speaker 1>there's a number of other books that have been recommended

1035
01:15:30.800 --> 01:15:32.960
<v Speaker 1>over the years. I mean none, none of them is perfect.

1036
01:15:34.079 --> 01:15:37.960
<v Speaker 1>Let's see what do I have here? I need to

1037
01:15:38.000 --> 01:15:43.880
<v Speaker 1>find that section. Yeah, you know, here's one if you

1038
01:15:43.920 --> 01:15:47.760
<v Speaker 1>can find it. It's a History of Philosophy by William

1039
01:15:48.159 --> 01:15:54.239
<v Speaker 1>Wilderland Wilden Bund, wild and Bund. You know, will do

1040
01:15:54.439 --> 01:16:04.880
<v Speaker 1>Rant has a history of philosophy that is very accessible.

1041
01:16:06.640 --> 01:16:11.119
<v Speaker 1>So I think that Will Durrance that one. They're probably others,

1042
01:16:11.760 --> 01:16:15.520
<v Speaker 1>and maybe when we have a philosopher on we it's

1043
01:16:15.520 --> 01:16:17.720
<v Speaker 1>a good question to ask one of our philosophers who

1044
01:16:17.800 --> 01:16:25.520
<v Speaker 1>might have kind of more recent and recommendations for books

1045
01:16:25.720 --> 01:16:27.800
<v Speaker 1>that have come out more recently. These a lot of

1046
01:16:27.800 --> 01:16:30.600
<v Speaker 1>these books are very old, and this one, the one

1047
01:16:30.640 --> 01:16:33.159
<v Speaker 1>I showed you, is probably very hard to find. Will

1048
01:16:33.199 --> 01:16:36.439
<v Speaker 1>do Ont is good, but again, it was written a

1049
01:16:36.479 --> 01:16:40.960
<v Speaker 1>long time ago, and they might be better scholarship today.

1050
01:16:41.239 --> 01:16:43.079
<v Speaker 1>We just you know, the best thing is to ask

1051
01:16:43.159 --> 01:16:46.359
<v Speaker 1>somebody like Jason Ryans or Griggs Elmiry what they would recommend.

1052
01:16:47.239 --> 01:16:51.039
<v Speaker 1>But Leonid Peacocks is very accessible and it's done definitely

1053
01:16:51.079 --> 01:16:53.720
<v Speaker 1>from an objectivest perspective, so you have to take that

1054
01:16:53.720 --> 01:16:56.760
<v Speaker 1>into account. These are done with the attempt of you know,

1055
01:16:57.000 --> 01:17:02.159
<v Speaker 1>I don't think the authors have a sophical a strong

1056
01:17:02.159 --> 01:17:09.399
<v Speaker 1>philosophical perspective of their own. Really. Yeah, Graham, here's a

1057
01:17:09.520 --> 01:17:13.800
<v Speaker 1>twenty although it's Canadian, just so a posts saying Trump

1058
01:17:13.960 --> 01:17:16.319
<v Speaker 1>is going to have a chat with a Pakistani field

1059
01:17:16.359 --> 01:17:20.159
<v Speaker 1>Marshal I mentioned then on the show today. I'm not

1060
01:17:20.199 --> 01:17:22.880
<v Speaker 1>sure what to think about that, but maybe he's going

1061
01:17:22.960 --> 01:17:27.079
<v Speaker 1>to tell them, don't worry them, don't worry Pakistan. You know,

1062
01:17:27.119 --> 01:17:28.640
<v Speaker 1>I don't know why he's having this chat. The guy

1063
01:17:28.680 --> 01:17:31.520
<v Speaker 1>must be in Washington, d C. For other stuff. I

1064
01:17:31.520 --> 01:17:33.960
<v Speaker 1>don't think he came, especially because of the one you're

1065
01:17:33.960 --> 01:17:45.079
<v Speaker 1>on and it's I think he's gonna suddenly tell Pakistan

1066
01:17:45.119 --> 01:17:48.600
<v Speaker 1>to stay out of it. I think they've got a

1067
01:17:48.640 --> 01:17:52.319
<v Speaker 1>lot of issues to do with the war between Pakistan

1068
01:17:52.359 --> 01:17:55.680
<v Speaker 1>and India and to sustain that seas fire. I think

1069
01:17:55.720 --> 01:17:59.600
<v Speaker 1>that's part of the reason for the chat. And uh,

1070
01:17:59.720 --> 01:18:02.319
<v Speaker 1>maybe he'll get his opinion about whether the United States

1071
01:18:02.319 --> 01:18:05.680
<v Speaker 1>should enter the war with Iran because he's looking for

1072
01:18:05.920 --> 01:18:13.920
<v Speaker 1>different opinions from different people, and how the Muslim world

1073
01:18:13.960 --> 01:18:17.600
<v Speaker 1>will feel about the United States entering the war on

1074
01:18:17.640 --> 01:18:22.720
<v Speaker 1>the side of Israel. I don't know, all right, let

1075
01:18:22.760 --> 01:18:26.000
<v Speaker 1>me thank Oe for the sticker, Martin for the sticker.

1076
01:18:27.039 --> 01:18:30.800
<v Speaker 1>And I just saw Anthony Anthony from Australia, thank you

1077
01:18:30.840 --> 01:18:34.239
<v Speaker 1>for the sticker. Really really appreciate your support. Guys. We're

1078
01:18:34.279 --> 01:18:37.319
<v Speaker 1>slowly chipping away at the first hour goal. We haven't

1079
01:18:37.359 --> 01:18:40.960
<v Speaker 1>even started on the second hour goal. But anyway, justin

1080
01:18:41.239 --> 01:18:46.399
<v Speaker 1>this he posted yesterday, justin Wolf, he says, I started

1081
01:18:46.399 --> 01:18:51.359
<v Speaker 1>reading your essay just War Theory, as you recommended. I

1082
01:18:51.439 --> 01:18:56.159
<v Speaker 1>recommended it. He was he tweeted about civilian casualties in war,

1083
01:18:56.199 --> 01:18:58.560
<v Speaker 1>and I said, if you really want to get my

1084
01:18:59.079 --> 01:19:02.600
<v Speaker 1>views on that, go read this essay. I mean, really,

1085
01:19:03.199 --> 01:19:08.399
<v Speaker 1>Twitter is not the place to analyze a difficult philosophical

1086
01:19:08.479 --> 01:19:12.600
<v Speaker 1>question like what to do about civilians in war? So

1087
01:19:12.640 --> 01:19:14.720
<v Speaker 1>he says, I started reading your essay just what Theory,

1088
01:19:14.720 --> 01:19:17.399
<v Speaker 1>as you recommended. If any of the listeners have not

1089
01:19:17.560 --> 01:19:20.640
<v Speaker 1>read it yet, search it now and read it. I

1090
01:19:20.760 --> 01:19:23.720
<v Speaker 1>second that recommendation. It is a really, really good essay.

1091
01:19:24.039 --> 01:19:27.159
<v Speaker 1>I think it's an important essay as we are at war.

1092
01:19:27.199 --> 01:19:31.600
<v Speaker 1>It's a crucial essay, so please go ahead and read it.

1093
01:19:31.720 --> 01:19:33.920
<v Speaker 1>You know, I haven't done an update about the Ukraine

1094
01:19:33.920 --> 01:19:36.800
<v Speaker 1>War in a while. I'll have to do that. I mean,

1095
01:19:38.119 --> 01:19:44.439
<v Speaker 1>Russia's pounding civilian population centers in Ukraine. I just without

1096
01:19:44.479 --> 01:19:50.239
<v Speaker 1>any attempts to target military or anything like that, just

1097
01:19:50.399 --> 01:19:58.279
<v Speaker 1>pounding the cities. It's just terrific. Michael, By the way,

1098
01:19:59.039 --> 01:20:01.560
<v Speaker 1>I do want to say this and say this analysis.

1099
01:20:03.199 --> 01:20:06.279
<v Speaker 1>If Trump decides to go in on the side of

1100
01:20:06.319 --> 01:20:12.800
<v Speaker 1>Israel and attack you on I definitely think, definitely think

1101
01:20:14.399 --> 01:20:17.479
<v Speaker 1>he needs to go to Congress and ask for authorization.

1102
01:20:19.359 --> 01:20:21.720
<v Speaker 1>I think that that would be such a positive step

1103
01:20:21.760 --> 01:20:27.000
<v Speaker 1>too of putting us on a footing of constitutional government.

1104
01:20:28.439 --> 01:20:33.039
<v Speaker 1>Trump shouldn't just unilaterally decide to go bomba country. As

1105
01:20:33.119 --> 01:20:36.800
<v Speaker 1>much as I think it would be great if he did.

1106
01:20:38.840 --> 01:20:40.520
<v Speaker 1>You know, I'm mixed about whether I think it's great

1107
01:20:40.600 --> 01:20:43.640
<v Speaker 1>on it, But because I want Israel to get all

1108
01:20:43.680 --> 01:20:45.560
<v Speaker 1>the credit, I think Trump is going to steal all

1109
01:20:45.600 --> 01:20:50.760
<v Speaker 1>the credit from Israel. But the way to do it,

1110
01:20:51.079 --> 01:20:55.600
<v Speaker 1>the proper way to do it in America is to

1111
01:20:55.640 --> 01:20:59.680
<v Speaker 1>go to Congress for approval. Go to Senate tomorrow morning,

1112
01:21:00.760 --> 01:21:07.239
<v Speaker 1>ask them to rush a approval for military operations in Iran.

1113
01:21:07.880 --> 01:21:10.800
<v Speaker 1>Let's see who votes voting against it. I think some

1114
01:21:10.920 --> 01:21:13.560
<v Speaker 1>Democrats will vote for it, some Republicans vote against it,

1115
01:21:13.960 --> 01:21:16.560
<v Speaker 1>but we'll get a majority got the House. Get a

1116
01:21:16.600 --> 01:21:20.199
<v Speaker 1>majority in the House and then do it. Let's have

1117
01:21:20.319 --> 01:21:25.640
<v Speaker 1>constitutional government. That would be cool. Richard, Richard, haven't seen

1118
01:21:25.680 --> 01:21:27.520
<v Speaker 1>you in a long time. Hey, Richard, it's good to

1119
01:21:27.560 --> 01:21:30.079
<v Speaker 1>see you. Thanks for being here. And I have no

1120
01:21:30.119 --> 01:21:31.920
<v Speaker 1>idea what's going on with your career where you are?

1121
01:21:32.199 --> 01:21:36.640
<v Speaker 1>Are you still with the same firm? What happened anyway?

1122
01:21:36.920 --> 01:21:39.800
<v Speaker 1>Richard asked, Is there a valid reason for the US

1123
01:21:39.840 --> 01:21:45.720
<v Speaker 1>should not unilaterally attack Iran with nuclear weapons? Yeah? I

1124
01:21:45.720 --> 01:21:51.199
<v Speaker 1>mean nuclear weapons are a big tool in the tool kit,

1125
01:21:51.840 --> 01:21:55.399
<v Speaker 1>which I don't think is necessary here. The regime is

1126
01:21:55.439 --> 01:22:00.800
<v Speaker 1>on the verge of collapse. The nuclear program can be

1127
01:22:00.840 --> 01:22:06.239
<v Speaker 1>destroyed with monk combusting bombs. Nuclear means radiation that could

1128
01:22:06.279 --> 01:22:10.640
<v Speaker 1>take years and years and years to clear a lot

1129
01:22:10.680 --> 01:22:14.560
<v Speaker 1>of people dying. I guess unnecessary in a country that

1130
01:22:14.760 --> 01:22:19.119
<v Speaker 1>I think at least is ready to depose these molars

1131
01:22:19.119 --> 01:22:23.399
<v Speaker 1>and to actually establish a country that is friendly to

1132
01:22:23.439 --> 01:22:29.039
<v Speaker 1>the United States. This is not the case where which

1133
01:22:29.039 --> 01:22:31.159
<v Speaker 1>it was I think maybe twenty twenty five years ago,

1134
01:22:31.560 --> 01:22:36.039
<v Speaker 1>where this is a uniformly hostile country and they have

1135
01:22:36.079 --> 01:22:38.239
<v Speaker 1>to be brought to their knees like the Guzmans have

1136
01:22:38.279 --> 01:22:41.760
<v Speaker 1>to be brought to their knees in order to recognize

1137
01:22:41.800 --> 01:22:43.840
<v Speaker 1>their failure. I think they know they failure. They know

1138
01:22:43.880 --> 01:22:47.279
<v Speaker 1>they failed. They're ready to change path. They just need

1139
01:22:47.279 --> 01:22:50.680
<v Speaker 1>the nudge for us to get rid of this regime.

1140
01:22:50.760 --> 01:22:53.960
<v Speaker 1>And that can be done easily and effectively because of

1141
01:22:53.960 --> 01:23:00.399
<v Speaker 1>what Israel's done without the use of nuclear weapons. That

1142
01:23:00.439 --> 01:23:05.520
<v Speaker 1>would be my view, you know, less than five bunkalbusting

1143
01:23:05.520 --> 01:23:11.359
<v Speaker 1>bombs and this is over. They should, though, kill the

1144
01:23:11.359 --> 01:23:14.720
<v Speaker 1>political leaders of Yuan. They should go after the political leadership.

1145
01:23:15.039 --> 01:23:18.560
<v Speaker 1>The fact that they haven't is a massive failure and

1146
01:23:18.600 --> 01:23:21.439
<v Speaker 1>a sign of weakness. Thank you, Richard, and it's good

1147
01:23:21.439 --> 01:23:27.760
<v Speaker 1>to see you here. Michael, Chinese cargo planes anti Uoq

1148
01:23:27.880 --> 01:23:33.279
<v Speaker 1>after turning off tracking devices, arms transfers. Maybe you know

1149
01:23:33.359 --> 01:23:37.399
<v Speaker 1>how to tell exactly what's going on there, maybe getting

1150
01:23:37.439 --> 01:23:42.239
<v Speaker 1>sensitive Chinese equipment out of Iwan. I don't know, but

1151
01:23:42.319 --> 01:23:46.279
<v Speaker 1>if it was really significant arms. I'm sure is what

1152
01:23:46.520 --> 01:23:50.399
<v Speaker 1>was monitoring everything that came off that plane, and if

1153
01:23:50.439 --> 01:23:53.039
<v Speaker 1>it was significant, they would have destroyed it. I don't

1154
01:23:53.079 --> 01:23:54.840
<v Speaker 1>think Iran wants to get into the middle of this,

1155
01:23:55.159 --> 01:23:58.840
<v Speaker 1>so I don't believe it was weapons. I don't think

1156
01:23:58.880 --> 01:24:01.640
<v Speaker 1>it was weapons systems. I don't know what it was.

1157
01:24:03.279 --> 01:24:06.159
<v Speaker 1>It might very well be stuff that China wants to

1158
01:24:06.159 --> 01:24:09.079
<v Speaker 1>get out of there, or it might be a way

1159
01:24:09.119 --> 01:24:13.479
<v Speaker 1>to evacuate people. But it is. It's a mystery, and

1160
01:24:13.520 --> 01:24:18.319
<v Speaker 1>we haven't heard from anybody. Haven't heard anybody, but it is.

1161
01:24:19.279 --> 01:24:23.760
<v Speaker 1>But I really, really really doubt it's arms, weapons, and

1162
01:24:23.800 --> 01:24:29.399
<v Speaker 1>we haven't seen any Andrew Tucker Cousin infuriated the Ted

1163
01:24:29.640 --> 01:24:34.159
<v Speaker 1>Cruz wants the regime to collapse into Huan, despite not

1164
01:24:34.279 --> 01:24:38.319
<v Speaker 1>knowing the exact population of Iran, not its ethnic makeup.

1165
01:24:38.479 --> 01:24:42.239
<v Speaker 1>Tucker so scared of what might happen. I'm all for

1166
01:24:42.359 --> 01:24:44.680
<v Speaker 1>taking the chance. Yeah, I mean it's not a big chance.

1167
01:24:45.760 --> 01:24:50.279
<v Speaker 1>Population of you know, Iran is ninety million. It's a

1168
01:24:50.319 --> 01:24:59.199
<v Speaker 1>big country, ninety million, much bigger than Iraq. It is ethnically,

1169
01:25:00.039 --> 01:25:06.560
<v Speaker 1>it's religiously united, mostly Muslims, although the fastest growing religions

1170
01:25:06.600 --> 01:25:13.479
<v Speaker 1>in Iran are Zoa, I can't pronounce it. Zoroastrianism something

1171
01:25:13.600 --> 01:25:18.199
<v Speaker 1>like that, which is the ancient religion of the Persians

1172
01:25:19.319 --> 01:25:24.199
<v Speaker 1>and Christianity. A lot of Muslims leaving Islam and converting

1173
01:25:24.199 --> 01:25:28.880
<v Speaker 1>to those religions, but overwhelmingly Muslims, but a lot of

1174
01:25:28.920 --> 01:25:33.159
<v Speaker 1>different ethnic groups, for example, in the north of Tehran.

1175
01:25:33.800 --> 01:25:39.000
<v Speaker 1>But a third of Iranian population maybe a fourth. Put

1176
01:25:39.000 --> 01:25:41.800
<v Speaker 1>it this way, somewhere between twenty to thirty three percent

1177
01:25:41.840 --> 01:25:47.640
<v Speaker 1>of the population is a Zeri. A Zeri I don't

1178
01:25:47.640 --> 01:25:49.720
<v Speaker 1>know what that means, but it's a different ethnic group

1179
01:25:49.840 --> 01:25:54.319
<v Speaker 1>than the rest of the main group in Iran. And

1180
01:25:54.720 --> 01:25:59.600
<v Speaker 1>they there is an Azeri country, it's called Azerbaijan. A

1181
01:26:00.039 --> 01:26:05.479
<v Speaker 1>Jean is Assuri, and there's been, you know, some fear

1182
01:26:05.560 --> 01:26:10.079
<v Speaker 1>among Uranians that you know, there's series would rather be

1183
01:26:10.159 --> 01:26:13.840
<v Speaker 1>ruled by Azerbaijan Isabajean is an authoritarian state, but it's

1184
01:26:13.880 --> 01:26:18.439
<v Speaker 1>a secular authoritarian state with a lot of personal freedoms

1185
01:26:18.479 --> 01:26:22.359
<v Speaker 1>allowed in the state. Even though it is it is

1186
01:26:23.239 --> 01:26:29.920
<v Speaker 1>it is authoritarian, So you know, people people might be

1187
01:26:29.960 --> 01:26:34.680
<v Speaker 1>worried that the Asiris might want their own the one

1188
01:26:34.520 --> 01:26:37.119
<v Speaker 1>one might want the state that's affiliate with Azerbajeon instead

1189
01:26:37.119 --> 01:26:40.920
<v Speaker 1>of Iran. There are other ethnic groups. There's the Codes

1190
01:26:40.960 --> 01:26:45.159
<v Speaker 1>obviously in the north west, there are others in the south,

1191
01:26:45.359 --> 01:26:48.960
<v Speaker 1>there's some Arabs, you know, these all groups that are Persian.

1192
01:26:49.159 --> 01:26:52.760
<v Speaker 1>Those Arabs who who who might want to be more

1193
01:26:52.800 --> 01:26:57.239
<v Speaker 1>linked to Saudi Arabia. But the reality is that Persia

1194
01:26:57.279 --> 01:27:03.359
<v Speaker 1>is an ancient civilization. It's an ancient country. While borders

1195
01:27:03.359 --> 01:27:09.439
<v Speaker 1>have shifted through the many many you know, thousands of years,

1196
01:27:09.600 --> 01:27:14.279
<v Speaker 1>hundreds and hundreds and thousands of years, uh Iran has

1197
01:27:14.319 --> 01:27:18.680
<v Speaker 1>always there's always been an Iran, and you know, it'll

1198
01:27:19.119 --> 01:27:22.039
<v Speaker 1>figure it out. They'll figure it out. And if that

1199
01:27:22.159 --> 01:27:23.840
<v Speaker 1>means civil war, that might mean us of a war,

1200
01:27:24.279 --> 01:27:31.520
<v Speaker 1>that means some you know, some minority groups creating their

1201
01:27:31.520 --> 01:27:35.600
<v Speaker 1>own little states. So be it, so be it. I'm

1202
01:27:35.640 --> 01:27:38.720
<v Speaker 1>not sure why that is something American needs to worry about,

1203
01:27:38.800 --> 01:27:42.359
<v Speaker 1>or why that's something Taker Colson really worries about. He

1204
01:27:42.399 --> 01:27:45.279
<v Speaker 1>doesn't sleep at night because there might be a civil

1205
01:27:45.279 --> 01:27:50.560
<v Speaker 1>in Iran. Oh my god. But the reality is over

1206
01:27:50.600 --> 01:27:54.239
<v Speaker 1>fifty percent of the population hate this regime wan Agne,

1207
01:27:55.000 --> 01:27:59.239
<v Speaker 1>and once the regime is even weaker, that number will rise.

1208
01:27:59.640 --> 01:28:02.439
<v Speaker 1>By the time the regime falls, ninety percent of the

1209
01:28:02.439 --> 01:28:05.760
<v Speaker 1>population will want it fall, they'll all claim they were

1210
01:28:05.800 --> 01:28:11.399
<v Speaker 1>always in opposition and something else arise. Whatever rises will

1211
01:28:11.439 --> 01:28:15.000
<v Speaker 1>be better that I can guarantee it will be better.

1212
01:28:20.079 --> 01:28:23.840
<v Speaker 1>Richard coming back with a enough fifty dollars, Thank you Richard,

1213
01:28:24.640 --> 01:28:26.520
<v Speaker 1>single handed, They're going to get us our goal tonight.

1214
01:28:27.159 --> 01:28:29.399
<v Speaker 1>Why do you think people in client facing companies are

1215
01:28:29.439 --> 01:28:33.159
<v Speaker 1>so hesitant to tell client bad news to the point

1216
01:28:33.199 --> 01:28:36.199
<v Speaker 1>of concealing facts on the clients like inability to make

1217
01:28:36.239 --> 01:28:40.560
<v Speaker 1>optimistic deadlines. It seems profoundly irrational to do this, but

1218
01:28:40.640 --> 01:28:45.520
<v Speaker 1>seems common. Yeah, I mean, I think the idea of honesty,

1219
01:28:45.840 --> 01:28:48.680
<v Speaker 1>the idea of honesty and being honest with clients, not

1220
01:28:48.800 --> 01:28:53.079
<v Speaker 1>honesty to the point of telling clients irrelevant stuff, with

1221
01:28:53.079 --> 01:28:56.079
<v Speaker 1>stuff they don't need to know, but just dealing with

1222
01:28:56.119 --> 01:28:59.119
<v Speaker 1>them honestly in terms of providing them with irrelevant information.

1223
01:29:00.600 --> 01:29:04.479
<v Speaker 1>It's just it's just rare. People are afraid of being honest,

1224
01:29:05.079 --> 01:29:10.439
<v Speaker 1>they're afraid of disappointing people, and they turn to pragmatism.

1225
01:29:10.960 --> 01:29:14.800
<v Speaker 1>And pragmatism says, do whatever you can get away within

1226
01:29:14.840 --> 01:29:17.600
<v Speaker 1>the short run, and this is kind of whatever works,

1227
01:29:18.000 --> 01:29:23.520
<v Speaker 1>cut corners if it works. And yeah, so there's there's

1228
01:29:24.479 --> 01:29:29.079
<v Speaker 1>not so much explicit lying, but there's smoothing of the edges,

1229
01:29:29.199 --> 01:29:35.399
<v Speaker 1>there's avoiding confrontation, there's uh, and there's avoiding the blatant truth.

1230
01:29:36.399 --> 01:29:40.760
<v Speaker 1>I think there's harms. Generally harms businesses. They're less successful,

1231
01:29:40.840 --> 01:29:43.479
<v Speaker 1>less profitable because of it. I think it hurts people's

1232
01:29:43.560 --> 01:29:48.640
<v Speaker 1>careers to do that. You know, ambitious people who are

1233
01:29:48.680 --> 01:29:53.479
<v Speaker 1>going to be incredibly successful, brutally honest. I mean, Steve

1234
01:29:53.560 --> 01:29:58.640
<v Speaker 1>Jobs did not play games with people. If you did

1235
01:29:58.760 --> 01:30:01.439
<v Speaker 1>screwed up, you were told you good up. If you didn't,

1236
01:30:01.479 --> 01:30:03.640
<v Speaker 1>you know, if you did well, you were rewarded for

1237
01:30:03.840 --> 01:30:18.319
<v Speaker 1>doing well. So uh yeah, So they do it because

1238
01:30:20.720 --> 01:30:25.600
<v Speaker 1>honesty is a dogma. Nobody's taught them that honesty is

1239
01:30:25.600 --> 01:30:29.880
<v Speaker 1>in their self interest. Nobody's explained to them that self interest,

1240
01:30:30.359 --> 01:30:35.239
<v Speaker 1>their unhappiness depends on being rational, and being rational depends

1241
01:30:35.239 --> 01:30:39.720
<v Speaker 1>on being honest. Nobody's taught them the virtue of justice

1242
01:30:40.119 --> 01:30:42.680
<v Speaker 1>and why it's in their self interest. People have told

1243
01:30:42.720 --> 01:30:44.960
<v Speaker 1>them you got to be honest. Why, Because you've got

1244
01:30:45.000 --> 01:30:48.720
<v Speaker 1>to be honest. I mean, there's a commandment someway I

1245
01:30:48.760 --> 01:30:54.800
<v Speaker 1>shall not lie. You still have to do it, so

1246
01:30:57.560 --> 01:31:02.920
<v Speaker 1>you know, you it's it's it's something that holds companies

1247
01:31:02.960 --> 01:31:08.840
<v Speaker 1>back and something that the better companies struggle with. Okay,

1248
01:31:08.840 --> 01:31:13.640
<v Speaker 1>but what information? What does honesty mean? How much information

1249
01:31:13.760 --> 01:31:16.079
<v Speaker 1>I need to give the clients and finding that, you know,

1250
01:31:16.119 --> 01:31:19.079
<v Speaker 1>what does honesty require of you in terms of disclosure

1251
01:31:19.600 --> 01:31:24.000
<v Speaker 1>is tricky, It's not obvious. But I think some things

1252
01:31:24.000 --> 01:31:26.560
<v Speaker 1>are straightforward and easy, Like you can't meet a deadline.

1253
01:31:26.600 --> 01:31:29.079
<v Speaker 1>You can't meet a deadline. That's it. Let them know

1254
01:31:30.479 --> 01:31:32.680
<v Speaker 1>you're not You're not going to escape the consequence of that.

1255
01:31:32.720 --> 01:31:36.199
<v Speaker 1>One might as well get it over with. Yeah, it's

1256
01:31:36.199 --> 01:31:40.399
<v Speaker 1>fragmentism and the lack of moral teaching. Moral teaching as

1257
01:31:41.239 --> 01:31:43.680
<v Speaker 1>this is in your self interest, this is what you

1258
01:31:43.760 --> 01:31:48.000
<v Speaker 1>gain from it. Michael, is he run on the verge

1259
01:31:48.000 --> 01:31:51.399
<v Speaker 1>of collapse or readjusting the strategy to fire more rockets

1260
01:31:52.520 --> 01:31:54.960
<v Speaker 1>closer to the verge of collapse than fiving more rockets.

1261
01:31:55.000 --> 01:31:57.640
<v Speaker 1>They don't have more rockets, they don't have more launchers.

1262
01:31:58.079 --> 01:32:00.640
<v Speaker 1>There's nothing for them to there's no news strategy they

1263
01:32:00.680 --> 01:32:04.800
<v Speaker 1>can do. They are struggling to figure out how to survive.

1264
01:32:06.119 --> 01:32:09.039
<v Speaker 1>The collapse may take weeks, but they are struggling to

1265
01:32:09.039 --> 01:32:11.720
<v Speaker 1>figure out how to survive, and it could take days.

1266
01:32:13.239 --> 01:32:15.960
<v Speaker 1>Liam is China the same type of paper tiger. Euon

1267
01:32:16.119 --> 01:32:19.840
<v Speaker 1>turned out to be probably not probably well. I mean,

1268
01:32:19.960 --> 01:32:24.880
<v Speaker 1>I always thought Ewan was a paper tiger. Always for decades,

1269
01:32:24.920 --> 01:32:27.159
<v Speaker 1>I've been saying, you won is a paper tiger. See

1270
01:32:27.199 --> 01:32:30.520
<v Speaker 1>Juan's paper tiger at ness was zero surprise to me.

1271
01:32:31.920 --> 01:32:35.439
<v Speaker 1>China is not a paper tagert to this extent. China

1272
01:32:35.520 --> 01:32:40.800
<v Speaker 1>has legit tech companies, it has legit capabilities, it has

1273
01:32:40.880 --> 01:32:47.800
<v Speaker 1>a legit defense industry. You know, I think it's better

1274
01:32:47.880 --> 01:32:51.000
<v Speaker 1>than Russia. It's just I don't think it's as good

1275
01:32:51.000 --> 01:32:53.079
<v Speaker 1>as America. I don't think it's as good as Isue,

1276
01:32:53.960 --> 01:32:57.640
<v Speaker 1>but I think it's better than Iwan and Russia. There's

1277
01:32:57.680 --> 01:33:00.720
<v Speaker 1>only one people talk about the access of you. There's

1278
01:33:00.760 --> 01:33:07.119
<v Speaker 1>only one potential superpower out there to compete with the US,

1279
01:33:07.199 --> 01:33:12.640
<v Speaker 1>and that is China. Russia is nothing, And I think

1280
01:33:13.359 --> 01:33:16.920
<v Speaker 1>in some respect Putin's war is an act of desperation

1281
01:33:17.800 --> 01:33:19.760
<v Speaker 1>to kind of try to prove to himself and prove

1282
01:33:19.840 --> 01:33:22.119
<v Speaker 1>to the people around him that Russia still has it.

1283
01:33:22.239 --> 01:33:25.199
<v Speaker 1>And it doesn't. It just doesn't have it. Think about

1284
01:33:25.720 --> 01:33:28.479
<v Speaker 1>what Israel is done to Iran, which was supposed to

1285
01:33:28.520 --> 01:33:32.439
<v Speaker 1>have this mighty force, and what Russia has done to Ukraine,

1286
01:33:33.159 --> 01:33:36.560
<v Speaker 1>where Ukraine has never had a mighty force, was not

1287
01:33:36.600 --> 01:33:41.279
<v Speaker 1>supposed to have anything. Russia is four times larger than Ukraine.

1288
01:33:42.199 --> 01:33:46.199
<v Speaker 1>Israel is one tenth of the size of Iran in

1289
01:33:46.319 --> 01:33:49.079
<v Speaker 1>terms of people and one hundredth the size of Iran

1290
01:33:49.479 --> 01:33:55.439
<v Speaker 1>in terms of size. It's just unbelievable when you compare

1291
01:33:55.479 --> 01:33:58.560
<v Speaker 1>those two differences. Russia is a zero and nothing, a

1292
01:33:58.680 --> 01:34:02.239
<v Speaker 1>nonentity when it comes as military force as compared to

1293
01:34:02.319 --> 01:34:06.560
<v Speaker 1>the West, and Israel is you know, superpower. It's not

1294
01:34:06.720 --> 01:34:09.479
<v Speaker 1>because it doesn't have the numbers. You know, Israel has

1295
01:34:09.600 --> 01:34:13.159
<v Speaker 1>six hundred and fifty airplanes. I think the United States

1296
01:34:13.199 --> 01:34:20.640
<v Speaker 1>has fourteen thousand airplanes. Fourteen thousand, you can't match that.

1297
01:34:24.880 --> 01:34:29.000
<v Speaker 1>Hubert Campbell, is Trump's behavior that the downstream effect of

1298
01:34:29.039 --> 01:34:33.640
<v Speaker 1>the mall character of the country. Well, I think the

1299
01:34:33.720 --> 01:34:37.239
<v Speaker 1>fact that he is the president is the downstream effect

1300
01:34:37.279 --> 01:34:40.239
<v Speaker 1>of the mall character of the country. His behavior, the

1301
01:34:40.279 --> 01:34:43.640
<v Speaker 1>fact that he can get away with his behavior, is

1302
01:34:43.720 --> 01:34:47.399
<v Speaker 1>the downstream effect of the culture. But he is the

1303
01:34:47.479 --> 01:34:50.880
<v Speaker 1>effect of his own choices, the fact of his upbringing

1304
01:34:50.920 --> 01:34:53.800
<v Speaker 1>and his choices and the kind of human being he is.

1305
01:34:54.760 --> 01:34:57.720
<v Speaker 1>He has no excuse. Nobody caused him to be like.

1306
01:34:57.800 --> 01:35:05.600
<v Speaker 1>This is the m e K, a large organization in Iran.

1307
01:35:05.920 --> 01:35:09.159
<v Speaker 1>They give great speeches in English, but in FOSSi they

1308
01:35:09.239 --> 01:35:13.479
<v Speaker 1>talk about how the Mullahs don't go far enough. Soce

1309
01:35:13.640 --> 01:35:18.760
<v Speaker 1>Iranian American friends who listen to leader live in DC.

1310
01:35:19.479 --> 01:35:23.560
<v Speaker 1>There is an organization. I think it's Ak, which is Islamist,

1311
01:35:24.119 --> 01:35:29.399
<v Speaker 1>which is radical Islamist, and is anti the Mullahs because

1312
01:35:29.560 --> 01:35:33.199
<v Speaker 1>they're not Islamist enough. They don't follow Sharia. The Somk

1313
01:35:33.600 --> 01:35:37.159
<v Speaker 1>is more like the Taliban, which you know, forced us

1314
01:35:37.199 --> 01:35:39.520
<v Speaker 1>them to cover their face. Women can't talk in public,

1315
01:35:40.319 --> 01:35:42.159
<v Speaker 1>they don't go to school. In Iran women do go

1316
01:35:42.199 --> 01:35:47.760
<v Speaker 1>to school. So there is a radical but they're not popular.

1317
01:35:48.760 --> 01:35:52.960
<v Speaker 1>They're not they're not big in Iran. They also combine

1318
01:35:53.119 --> 01:36:00.279
<v Speaker 1>kind of a Marxist economics, so they're leftist Islamists. But

1319
01:36:01.439 --> 01:36:05.439
<v Speaker 1>I don't think they're real force. I don't think they're

1320
01:36:05.479 --> 01:36:08.920
<v Speaker 1>real force anyone. I don't think they are expected to

1321
01:36:09.000 --> 01:36:12.359
<v Speaker 1>be one of the main players over there, although you

1322
01:36:12.439 --> 01:36:14.520
<v Speaker 1>know they might be organized, they might be a player,

1323
01:36:14.880 --> 01:36:19.479
<v Speaker 1>but they I don't think there's a chance they achieve power.

1324
01:36:19.640 --> 01:36:21.640
<v Speaker 1>I mean, any people don't want to replace one set

1325
01:36:21.680 --> 01:36:29.479
<v Speaker 1>of mula's with another not you have as algorithm. If

1326
01:36:29.560 --> 01:36:32.600
<v Speaker 1>all humans suddenly lost the ability to lie, what industry

1327
01:36:32.640 --> 01:36:38.840
<v Speaker 1>would collapse first? I mean, if you lost ability to lie,

1328
01:36:38.920 --> 01:36:41.760
<v Speaker 1>you'd lose your free will, and all industry would collapse.

1329
01:36:41.760 --> 01:36:44.640
<v Speaker 1>I mean, I mean, you can't just lose your ability

1330
01:36:44.680 --> 01:36:49.960
<v Speaker 1>to lie out of context. I don't know what industry

1331
01:36:50.279 --> 01:36:57.079
<v Speaker 1>relies on. I mean politicians, politics and related fields, parts

1332
01:36:57.119 --> 01:37:02.119
<v Speaker 1>of the law, parts of government, contractors, but mainly politics.

1333
01:37:03.399 --> 01:37:08.680
<v Speaker 1>I don't think any business business relies online, even used

1334
01:37:08.720 --> 01:37:11.880
<v Speaker 1>cost salesmen. I don't really rely on lying at the

1335
01:37:11.960 --> 01:37:14.399
<v Speaker 1>end of the day, not Javi, y'all go with them.

1336
01:37:14.560 --> 01:37:18.079
<v Speaker 1>Could the Iron Dome potentially stop a nuclear warhead? Well,

1337
01:37:18.119 --> 01:37:24.800
<v Speaker 1>not the Iron Dome, but the the arrow the arrow

1338
01:37:25.039 --> 01:37:33.319
<v Speaker 1>system could, Yes, the uh. These are air defense systems

1339
01:37:33.399 --> 01:37:39.279
<v Speaker 1>that hit the the ballistic missile before it enters the atmosphere.

1340
01:37:40.119 --> 01:37:42.319
<v Speaker 1>UH and and you probably get You're probably going to

1341
01:37:42.399 --> 01:37:45.159
<v Speaker 1>get more powerful lasers in the future. They can also

1342
01:37:45.279 --> 01:37:49.920
<v Speaker 1>hit real hypersonic missiles. These are missiles that go at

1343
01:37:50.000 --> 01:37:54.079
<v Speaker 1>five mas plus and maneuverable. But lasers could probably deal

1344
01:37:54.119 --> 01:38:00.479
<v Speaker 1>with that as well. But the Iron Dome is secifically

1345
01:38:00.600 --> 01:38:07.640
<v Speaker 1>targeted at to intercept something at very low altitudes, and

1346
01:38:07.800 --> 01:38:09.600
<v Speaker 1>if it would not be appropriate for a nuclear bomb,

1347
01:38:09.600 --> 01:38:11.319
<v Speaker 1>because if you intercepted it there and it blew up

1348
01:38:11.399 --> 01:38:17.680
<v Speaker 1>at low altitudes, it would cause more damage, not less. Uh. Yeah,

1349
01:38:17.760 --> 01:38:21.119
<v Speaker 1>what is your genuine opinion of the abram Accords. You know,

1350
01:38:21.279 --> 01:38:26.159
<v Speaker 1>I'm positive, but I'm not. I'm not super enthusiastic because

1351
01:38:26.239 --> 01:38:29.279
<v Speaker 1>I think these regimes have to be watched and you

1352
01:38:29.359 --> 01:38:32.239
<v Speaker 1>have to be careful with them, and they're all authoritarian.

1353
01:38:32.840 --> 01:38:34.800
<v Speaker 1>But I think for Israel to do it it was

1354
01:38:34.840 --> 01:38:39.720
<v Speaker 1>a positive step. It just wasn't this. The world has changed.

1355
01:38:40.439 --> 01:38:43.600
<v Speaker 1>Everything's going to be peaceful and nice and friendly. Anybody's kumbaya,

1356
01:38:43.680 --> 01:38:47.479
<v Speaker 1>love each other from now on. I think as long

1357
01:38:47.760 --> 01:38:52.039
<v Speaker 1>as these countries are ruled by Islam, even though it's

1358
01:38:52.039 --> 01:38:55.880
<v Speaker 1>not islam Mism, it's still Islam and rulers who are

1359
01:38:55.920 --> 01:39:00.680
<v Speaker 1>still committed to Islam, it's a problem. And now maybe

1360
01:39:00.720 --> 01:39:03.520
<v Speaker 1>they're moving away from that. But I don't see any

1361
01:39:03.560 --> 01:39:07.079
<v Speaker 1>of them becoming liberal democracies or liberal countries in a

1362
01:39:07.119 --> 01:39:11.920
<v Speaker 1>classical liberal sense. So I'm suspicious, but I wouldn't turn

1363
01:39:12.079 --> 01:39:15.760
<v Speaker 1>away from them. I would just say, you know, be careful,

1364
01:39:16.279 --> 01:39:22.159
<v Speaker 1>be careful, sup. Kaski Christy Gnome has been hospitalized. Her

1365
01:39:22.279 --> 01:39:24.640
<v Speaker 1>dog spirit has come back for revenge. Yeah, I think

1366
01:39:24.680 --> 01:39:29.439
<v Speaker 1>she had an allergic reaction to something, Clark, Iran was

1367
01:39:29.520 --> 01:39:32.319
<v Speaker 1>a lot of bluster without ability. However, they would have

1368
01:39:32.479 --> 01:39:35.319
<v Speaker 1>gotten their ability with nukes, so it was crucial to

1369
01:39:35.439 --> 01:39:38.399
<v Speaker 1>deal with them now. Absolutely, you don't need a lot

1370
01:39:38.439 --> 01:39:40.920
<v Speaker 1>of ability once you have nukes, and nukes provide you

1371
01:39:40.960 --> 01:39:43.760
<v Speaker 1>with the ability to threaten, and then people don't even

1372
01:39:43.760 --> 01:40:02.279
<v Speaker 1>know if you have the ability or not. Yeah, let's see, Clark,

1373
01:40:03.039 --> 01:40:04.960
<v Speaker 1>there must be a lot of behind the scenes reasoning

1374
01:40:05.000 --> 01:40:07.600
<v Speaker 1>why as well decided to do this at this particular

1375
01:40:07.680 --> 01:40:11.920
<v Speaker 1>moment that we won't find out for months. Yeah, and

1376
01:40:12.079 --> 01:40:14.079
<v Speaker 1>we might never find out, it might never find out

1377
01:40:17.319 --> 01:40:26.199
<v Speaker 1>in any kind of reasonable time. Fame and uh but

1378
01:40:26.600 --> 01:40:30.199
<v Speaker 1>uh yeah, I mean it's a combination of intelligence that

1379
01:40:30.439 --> 01:40:34.119
<v Speaker 1>really did suggest to them that Iran was getting close

1380
01:40:34.159 --> 01:40:38.119
<v Speaker 1>to bomb and potential fears that Trump was going to

1381
01:40:38.159 --> 01:40:41.000
<v Speaker 1>stab them in the back by signing some kind of

1382
01:40:41.720 --> 01:40:44.880
<v Speaker 1>deal with the Iranians. Would be my guess, but I'm

1383
01:40:44.880 --> 01:40:48.560
<v Speaker 1>only guessing because I have no incie information. Richard back again,

1384
01:40:49.199 --> 01:40:51.880
<v Speaker 1>I think this makes it. Yeah, this makes it two

1385
01:40:51.920 --> 01:40:55.560
<v Speaker 1>hundred dollars. Thank you. Richard Wow. Was there an alliance

1386
01:40:55.640 --> 01:40:58.079
<v Speaker 1>between leftists and Islamis in the Middle East during the

1387
01:40:58.159 --> 01:41:01.560
<v Speaker 1>Cold War? Is there a link with the Muslim Brotherhood?

1388
01:41:02.039 --> 01:41:05.920
<v Speaker 1>Such alliances existed in a few countries. Ranian Revolution was

1389
01:41:05.960 --> 01:41:09.800
<v Speaker 1>the funity of left and Islam. Are they still common? Well?

1390
01:41:09.880 --> 01:41:12.560
<v Speaker 1>I wouldn't say the Aran Revolution was a fusion of

1391
01:41:12.640 --> 01:41:18.640
<v Speaker 1>lefton Islam in the sense that I told Homani Khanned

1392
01:41:19.399 --> 01:41:23.680
<v Speaker 1>the leftists to support his revolution, and then once he

1393
01:41:23.840 --> 01:41:27.319
<v Speaker 1>established power, he killed them all and destroyed them and

1394
01:41:28.239 --> 01:41:32.000
<v Speaker 1>eviscerated them right they were gone. So it was a

1395
01:41:32.119 --> 01:41:36.880
<v Speaker 1>con game, I told Hamani used to distribute these cassette tapes.

1396
01:41:37.399 --> 01:41:39.600
<v Speaker 1>That's how he became popular in UoN. People used to

1397
01:41:39.680 --> 01:41:42.520
<v Speaker 1>listen to his summons, and he was to sprinkle in

1398
01:41:42.600 --> 01:41:48.640
<v Speaker 1>his summons lots of kind of Marxist phrases and leftist

1399
01:41:48.800 --> 01:41:53.920
<v Speaker 1>propaganda items. Talked about colonialism and talked about exploitation and

1400
01:41:54.000 --> 01:41:57.479
<v Speaker 1>alienation and all the keywords for the leftists, and they

1401
01:41:57.560 --> 01:42:00.640
<v Speaker 1>got very, very excited and they support to the revolution.

1402
01:42:00.840 --> 01:42:04.479
<v Speaker 1>They hated the show, but I don't know that I'd

1403
01:42:04.520 --> 01:42:06.640
<v Speaker 1>call it an alliance because at the end of the

1404
01:42:06.720 --> 01:42:11.319
<v Speaker 1>day they were gone with the God. The Muslim Brotherhood. No,

1405
01:42:11.479 --> 01:42:14.439
<v Speaker 1>I mean there was never an alliance really other than

1406
01:42:15.359 --> 01:42:22.000
<v Speaker 1>in attempting to eliminate existing status quo regimes. The Muslim

1407
01:42:22.000 --> 01:42:25.840
<v Speaker 1>Brotherhood were not supported by the left in Egypt as

1408
01:42:25.920 --> 01:42:30.079
<v Speaker 1>far as I can tell. You know, they they they

1409
01:42:30.680 --> 01:42:36.880
<v Speaker 1>they grew out of an Islamist tradition that rejects everything secular,

1410
01:42:38.880 --> 01:42:43.640
<v Speaker 1>and they they So I don't know of an alliance

1411
01:42:43.680 --> 01:42:49.640
<v Speaker 1>between them and the left. You know, in in in

1412
01:42:50.159 --> 01:42:54.159
<v Speaker 1>Syria it is it is the kind of the fascist

1413
01:42:54.479 --> 01:42:56.720
<v Speaker 1>to control. In Rock it was the fascist the both

1414
01:42:56.760 --> 01:43:00.159
<v Speaker 1>party that to control. But I don't think I think

1415
01:43:00.199 --> 01:43:03.359
<v Speaker 1>there's a lot, I mean, anything in common between the

1416
01:43:03.439 --> 01:43:06.359
<v Speaker 1>leftists and Islamists for the most part, with excepting MK

1417
01:43:06.600 --> 01:43:11.119
<v Speaker 1>and Iran, is the hatred of the status quo, the

1418
01:43:11.199 --> 01:43:14.159
<v Speaker 1>hatred of the existing authoritarian regimes in the midd least,

1419
01:43:14.199 --> 01:43:18.560
<v Speaker 1>the hatred of the Saudi regime, of the regime everywhere,

1420
01:43:19.199 --> 01:43:22.239
<v Speaker 1>and usually what happens is they unite overthrow the regimes.

1421
01:43:22.279 --> 01:43:26.560
<v Speaker 1>I think this happened in Tunisia during the Arab Spring.

1422
01:43:26.760 --> 01:43:30.640
<v Speaker 1>Generally the Arab Spring was a unity of the Islamists

1423
01:43:30.680 --> 01:43:32.560
<v Speaker 1>and the leftists, but I wouldn't call it an alliance.

1424
01:43:32.640 --> 01:43:35.880
<v Speaker 1>They just they just came together to overthrow the existing order.

1425
01:43:36.560 --> 01:43:39.279
<v Speaker 1>But then what happened is that it turns out that

1426
01:43:39.359 --> 01:43:42.520
<v Speaker 1>the most that the Islamist are more popular than the leftists.

1427
01:43:42.520 --> 01:43:47.479
<v Speaker 1>The Islamist took over and they marginalize the leftist groups

1428
01:43:47.520 --> 01:43:52.359
<v Speaker 1>that demonstrated with them. So it's not that they ally

1429
01:43:52.479 --> 01:43:59.159
<v Speaker 1>themselves in governance. They ally themselves in opposition to the regimes.

1430
01:44:00.720 --> 01:44:06.760
<v Speaker 1>I hope that's helpful, James. Is the Mega phenomena unwinding

1431
01:44:06.920 --> 01:44:09.399
<v Speaker 1>in its first six months in the White House? No,

1432
01:44:09.600 --> 01:44:11.720
<v Speaker 1>I mean I don't think so. Trump is still there.

1433
01:44:11.840 --> 01:44:14.640
<v Speaker 1>He's still Maga JD. Vans. There's still a lot of

1434
01:44:14.880 --> 01:44:18.239
<v Speaker 1>Mega people out there talking, talking, talking and putting influence.

1435
01:44:18.600 --> 01:44:27.199
<v Speaker 1>You can see how Trump, you know, took away the

1436
01:44:27.279 --> 01:44:31.239
<v Speaker 1>exemption for the ice going after people who are working

1437
01:44:31.319 --> 01:44:34.119
<v Speaker 1>in certain industries because Maga spoke up. I mean, in

1438
01:44:34.199 --> 01:44:37.920
<v Speaker 1>the end of the day, Maga does influence control what

1439
01:44:38.159 --> 01:44:41.760
<v Speaker 1>Trump does. He is very much attuned to their demands,

1440
01:44:41.840 --> 01:44:46.239
<v Speaker 1>their wishes, their whims, and he folds and he folded

1441
01:44:46.319 --> 01:44:52.319
<v Speaker 1>on the immigration stuff. Amen, thank you, Amen. Amen just

1442
01:44:52.359 --> 01:44:54.680
<v Speaker 1>came in with one hundred dollars. Really really appreciate it

1443
01:44:55.560 --> 01:44:58.560
<v Speaker 1>and amend says, Imagine waking up on Christmas Morning and

1444
01:44:58.680 --> 01:45:04.239
<v Speaker 1>discovering Santa Is. That's how many Uranians feel today. My

1445
01:45:04.439 --> 01:45:08.039
<v Speaker 1>generation grew up in Iran wondering if the Mullahs would

1446
01:45:08.079 --> 01:45:12.159
<v Speaker 1>ever face justice. We thank Israeli's for giving us today.

1447
01:45:13.199 --> 01:45:16.119
<v Speaker 1>Well it's not quite today yet, but I think you're today,

1448
01:45:16.279 --> 01:45:20.439
<v Speaker 1>Your Christmas Morning is coming. It's getting very very close.

1449
01:45:21.000 --> 01:45:23.479
<v Speaker 1>And I think people are starting to starting to sense

1450
01:45:23.640 --> 01:45:27.239
<v Speaker 1>that it's getting very very close and starting to celebrate that.

1451
01:45:27.399 --> 01:45:33.279
<v Speaker 1>But but absolutely, amen, it is. It is amazing to see,

1452
01:45:35.560 --> 01:45:38.920
<v Speaker 1>you know, what potentially could happen in Iran once the

1453
01:45:39.079 --> 01:45:42.840
<v Speaker 1>mullah is gone, once the councils, all the religious councilors

1454
01:45:42.880 --> 01:45:46.359
<v Speaker 1>are gone, and and Iran has the opportunity to live

1455
01:45:46.479 --> 01:45:49.399
<v Speaker 1>up to its you know, the people of Yuan have

1456
01:45:49.479 --> 01:45:51.760
<v Speaker 1>the opportunity to live up to their potential, live live

1457
01:45:51.880 --> 01:45:56.199
<v Speaker 1>up to their you know, potential as individuals, and live

1458
01:45:56.319 --> 01:45:58.800
<v Speaker 1>up to their potential as a as a as a nation.

1459
01:45:59.680 --> 01:46:03.239
<v Speaker 1>I mean again, this is a country with an ancient,

1460
01:46:03.439 --> 01:46:09.439
<v Speaker 1>ancient civilization, a civilization was at the forefront of science

1461
01:46:09.520 --> 01:46:14.359
<v Speaker 1>and medicine when Europe was in the dark ages. And

1462
01:46:16.079 --> 01:46:20.079
<v Speaker 1>you know, Islam taking this idea of taking Islam seriously,

1463
01:46:21.000 --> 01:46:27.079
<v Speaker 1>degrade civilizations, destroy civilizations. And what it needs is to

1464
01:46:27.439 --> 01:46:32.000
<v Speaker 1>continue the secularization trend that started in the fifties and

1465
01:46:32.119 --> 01:46:34.800
<v Speaker 1>went through the Shaw and needs to be resurrected today,

1466
01:46:34.960 --> 01:46:38.560
<v Speaker 1>just this time without a Shaw, without a king, but

1467
01:46:39.199 --> 01:46:45.760
<v Speaker 1>establishing a true kind of liberal society, a republic, a democracy, anything.

1468
01:46:45.800 --> 01:46:47.960
<v Speaker 1>It'd be better than what they have today and what

1469
01:46:48.079 --> 01:46:52.000
<v Speaker 1>they had they with the Shaw. So yeah, I mean

1470
01:46:52.079 --> 01:46:55.920
<v Speaker 1>this is truly, I mean, this is exciting. As I said,

1471
01:46:56.920 --> 01:46:59.960
<v Speaker 1>it's like the liberation that I think that the Commune

1472
01:47:00.239 --> 01:47:03.680
<v Speaker 1>felt when the Berlin Wall fell and and the Soviet

1473
01:47:03.800 --> 01:47:08.000
<v Speaker 1>Union broke apart. Uh. This is the equivalent for I

1474
01:47:08.079 --> 01:47:10.640
<v Speaker 1>think the Iranians. But I actually think this is far

1475
01:47:11.079 --> 01:47:15.000
<v Speaker 1>has consequences far beyond Iran because I think this impacts

1476
01:47:15.000 --> 01:47:19.079
<v Speaker 1>the time Muslim world. I think this this takes away

1477
01:47:19.479 --> 01:47:24.199
<v Speaker 1>the aura of Islamism, It takes away the invisibility of

1478
01:47:24.279 --> 01:47:29.479
<v Speaker 1>the Mullahs, takes away the idea that Allah is with them.

1479
01:47:30.439 --> 01:47:35.680
<v Speaker 1>And and this this opens a new dawn I think

1480
01:47:35.720 --> 01:47:39.359
<v Speaker 1>potentially for for the most for many other Muslim countries, Uh,

1481
01:47:39.920 --> 01:47:44.159
<v Speaker 1>that that can hopefully embrace kind of a moderate, a

1482
01:47:44.279 --> 01:47:51.359
<v Speaker 1>moderated slam Arman is saying, we hope I'm daydreaming about

1483
01:47:51.399 --> 01:47:54.359
<v Speaker 1>moving back and rebuilding the country. Yeah, I mean that

1484
01:47:54.359 --> 01:47:56.640
<v Speaker 1>would that would be super exciting. Somebody was asking me

1485
01:47:56.760 --> 01:48:01.920
<v Speaker 1>yesterday about whether it would be an exciting investment opportunity

1486
01:48:02.039 --> 01:48:04.800
<v Speaker 1>right now in Iran. And I think, give it, give

1487
01:48:04.960 --> 01:48:10.039
<v Speaker 1>give give everything, Give it some time to stabilize, you know,

1488
01:48:10.319 --> 01:48:14.439
<v Speaker 1>give it, give it time for you know, for for

1489
01:48:14.680 --> 01:48:17.680
<v Speaker 1>for a new order to emerge. But once you get

1490
01:48:17.720 --> 01:48:21.039
<v Speaker 1>some stability there, once a new order does emerge, I

1491
01:48:21.119 --> 01:48:24.439
<v Speaker 1>think it's an enormous opportunity to invest in iuon Eon

1492
01:48:24.640 --> 01:48:28.760
<v Speaker 1>is a highly educated can be an incredibly productive place.

1493
01:48:29.640 --> 01:48:33.119
<v Speaker 1>Uh And and I you know, I think that I

1494
01:48:33.159 --> 01:48:35.560
<v Speaker 1>think they once they once they give up on this

1495
01:48:35.880 --> 01:48:39.039
<v Speaker 1>theocratic regime, there's a lot of money to be made.

1496
01:48:39.319 --> 01:48:41.600
<v Speaker 1>There's a lot of industry to be built, There's a

1497
01:48:41.680 --> 01:48:45.000
<v Speaker 1>lot of business to be done. Uh in Iuan, so

1498
01:48:45.479 --> 01:48:47.479
<v Speaker 1>you know, I mean, you know, all the best of you.

1499
01:48:47.600 --> 01:48:50.920
<v Speaker 1>I really really hope that the day dreaming comes true.

1500
01:48:51.439 --> 01:48:55.319
<v Speaker 1>The Christmas morning comes, the actual Christmas morning where you

1501
01:48:55.399 --> 01:48:59.359
<v Speaker 1>see the mullas you know, not there put it that way,

1502
01:49:00.199 --> 01:49:02.199
<v Speaker 1>uh and uh, and that you get a chance to

1503
01:49:02.279 --> 01:49:05.960
<v Speaker 1>go back and to and to build something there, and

1504
01:49:06.039 --> 01:49:08.399
<v Speaker 1>build something there. I mean I think that that it

1505
01:49:08.479 --> 01:49:13.880
<v Speaker 1>could be something really powerful. Thanks Amen, Richard says awesome

1506
01:49:13.960 --> 01:49:17.319
<v Speaker 1>as always, Thank you you on I declare a righteous

1507
01:49:17.439 --> 01:49:21.359
<v Speaker 1>jihad on the two hour goal. Everyone watching should donate

1508
01:49:22.159 --> 01:49:27.000
<v Speaker 1>or you know, just just just support. Just yeah, Alex,

1509
01:49:27.359 --> 01:49:29.600
<v Speaker 1>thank you, Richard, really really appreciated. I haven't seen you

1510
01:49:29.640 --> 01:49:31.840
<v Speaker 1>in a long time. Thank you for jumping in here

1511
01:49:31.840 --> 01:49:35.239
<v Speaker 1>with three hundred dollars and that is fantastic. Uh, it's

1512
01:49:35.279 --> 01:49:37.680
<v Speaker 1>good to have you back or I guess you've been

1513
01:49:37.720 --> 01:49:41.520
<v Speaker 1>listening all along, but thanks for being back and supporting.

1514
01:49:41.960 --> 01:49:44.439
<v Speaker 1>Alex says Richard. It's not a donation. It's a trade

1515
01:49:45.079 --> 01:49:49.239
<v Speaker 1>value for value. It's yes, it's it's it's a trade

1516
01:49:49.319 --> 01:49:51.239
<v Speaker 1>at the end of the day. Uh. And it but

1517
01:49:51.319 --> 01:49:54.079
<v Speaker 1>it's very much appreciated because it's very much a voluntary

1518
01:49:54.439 --> 01:49:57.880
<v Speaker 1>it's one sided until you guys reciprocate and and and

1519
01:49:58.399 --> 01:50:04.840
<v Speaker 1>that recuplication is unbelievably appreciated. Thank you, thank you, Thank you. James.

1520
01:50:05.199 --> 01:50:08.880
<v Speaker 1>Why was it always being American policies to cut deals

1521
01:50:09.520 --> 01:50:12.880
<v Speaker 1>saving terrorism so it has a chance to fight another day?

1522
01:50:12.920 --> 01:50:16.039
<v Speaker 1>I mean, it's a nature of pragmatism. America is a

1523
01:50:16.199 --> 01:50:22.960
<v Speaker 1>land of pragmatism. How American philosophers were pragmatic pragmatists, Dewey,

1524
01:50:23.199 --> 01:50:27.600
<v Speaker 1>James and others. This idea of principles don't matter. You

1525
01:50:27.760 --> 01:50:30.720
<v Speaker 1>just do what works, and what works in a short run.

1526
01:50:30.800 --> 01:50:32.640
<v Speaker 1>And who knows what happened in the wrong one. You've

1527
01:50:32.640 --> 01:50:35.439
<v Speaker 1>seen that with so many commentators. We don't know what

1528
01:50:35.479 --> 01:50:37.760
<v Speaker 1>will happened in Iran if it fails. So the safer

1529
01:50:37.880 --> 01:50:43.359
<v Speaker 1>path is stability, right, and and people have been grown

1530
01:50:43.439 --> 01:50:48.720
<v Speaker 1>up on that. And pragmatism is the dominant philosophy in

1531
01:50:48.840 --> 01:50:52.479
<v Speaker 1>the US. Cut deals, kick the can down the road.

1532
01:50:52.640 --> 01:50:55.439
<v Speaker 1>Look at our SOI security, look at how government dephesis,

1533
01:50:55.520 --> 01:50:58.199
<v Speaker 1>look at Medicaid, look at government spending, look at all

1534
01:50:58.239 --> 01:51:01.760
<v Speaker 1>of that. That's all the same thing, cutting deals rather

1535
01:51:01.920 --> 01:51:07.239
<v Speaker 1>than actually facing the problem and fixing it. And did

1536
01:51:07.319 --> 01:51:10.199
<v Speaker 1>your Peterson Academy prep go? Well? Today it did. I'm

1537
01:51:10.239 --> 01:51:13.640
<v Speaker 1>still like a week behind, but it did. Tomorrow night fly.

1538
01:51:13.840 --> 01:51:15.960
<v Speaker 1>So I'll work on the plane all the way there,

1539
01:51:16.880 --> 01:51:19.239
<v Speaker 1>and every morning I'll just wake up very early in

1540
01:51:19.279 --> 01:51:21.279
<v Speaker 1>the morning and work on the classes that I have

1541
01:51:21.359 --> 01:51:24.359
<v Speaker 1>to do that morning. But I like my outline now

1542
01:51:25.159 --> 01:51:28.520
<v Speaker 1>today I finally got my outline right. And if I

1543
01:51:28.560 --> 01:51:30.880
<v Speaker 1>can get the outline right, I usually everything else falls

1544
01:51:30.880 --> 01:51:33.479
<v Speaker 1>into place. So I think I've got the outline right.

1545
01:51:33.560 --> 01:51:36.159
<v Speaker 1>I mean, there's still a lot of details to flesh

1546
01:51:36.159 --> 01:51:40.359
<v Speaker 1>out the outline and fill it in, but I think

1547
01:51:40.399 --> 01:51:44.439
<v Speaker 1>I've got the basic the basic flow of the course,

1548
01:51:45.159 --> 01:51:48.720
<v Speaker 1>and now I just have to work on hour by hour,

1549
01:51:48.880 --> 01:51:53.039
<v Speaker 1>lecture by lecture. The content and so the challenges is sound.

1550
01:51:53.079 --> 01:51:56.640
<v Speaker 1>The content is a stoic and with history, I don't

1551
01:51:56.640 --> 01:51:59.039
<v Speaker 1>remember dates and I don't remember names of people, and

1552
01:51:59.239 --> 01:52:01.119
<v Speaker 1>so I have to after the history a lot of

1553
01:52:01.159 --> 01:52:03.600
<v Speaker 1>it after write down in bullet points so I can

1554
01:52:03.680 --> 01:52:05.720
<v Speaker 1>keep track of it. So a lot of that work

1555
01:52:05.800 --> 01:52:09.479
<v Speaker 1>still has to be done. And I'm using a couple

1556
01:52:09.560 --> 01:52:11.319
<v Speaker 1>of books as my main sources, and so I have

1557
01:52:11.399 --> 01:52:13.640
<v Speaker 1>to go back and forth with the books and type stuff.

1558
01:52:14.199 --> 01:52:15.560
<v Speaker 1>So there's a lot of work still to do, but

1559
01:52:16.039 --> 01:52:21.680
<v Speaker 1>I'm feeling okay. Thanks and for asking Hopa Campbell. If

1560
01:52:21.720 --> 01:52:26.680
<v Speaker 1>the Muslims Socialists become a If the Muslim Socialists socialist

1561
01:52:26.800 --> 01:52:30.560
<v Speaker 1>becomes the mayor of New York City, would you recommend

1562
01:52:30.640 --> 01:52:34.960
<v Speaker 1>people leave? You know, I don't know, I mean, you'd

1563
01:52:35.000 --> 01:52:38.079
<v Speaker 1>have to ask a New Yoka who lived through Deblasio's period.

1564
01:52:38.479 --> 01:52:40.960
<v Speaker 1>This might be worse. How bad did it really get

1565
01:52:41.439 --> 01:52:45.319
<v Speaker 1>versus the benefits of living in New York? You know,

1566
01:52:45.439 --> 01:52:54.760
<v Speaker 1>I don't know. I don't know. Mike, just getting here.

1567
01:52:55.239 --> 01:53:00.760
<v Speaker 1>I'll watch tomorrow. Thanks Mike, appreciate the supports events. Ask

1568
01:53:00.840 --> 01:53:02.920
<v Speaker 1>me how I'm motivating the class. I'm not even the class.

1569
01:53:04.079 --> 01:53:09.199
<v Speaker 1>Basically by saying, everything we have here is a product

1570
01:53:09.279 --> 01:53:14.399
<v Speaker 1>of business, of corporations, of this legal creation called the corporation,

1571
01:53:15.560 --> 01:53:18.640
<v Speaker 1>and yet everybody hates them. And I've got a lot

1572
01:53:18.640 --> 01:53:20.920
<v Speaker 1>of good quotes and a lot of you know, left right,

1573
01:53:21.039 --> 01:53:24.439
<v Speaker 1>even libertarians hate corporations and creatures of the state, and

1574
01:53:24.479 --> 01:53:27.399
<v Speaker 1>all kinds of myths like that. What's going on here?

1575
01:53:28.319 --> 01:53:31.159
<v Speaker 1>What's up? And how do we get so rich? How

1576
01:53:31.199 --> 01:53:33.960
<v Speaker 1>do we get so rich? How did these creations get

1577
01:53:34.000 --> 01:53:34.359
<v Speaker 1>us so rich?

1578
01:53:34.399 --> 01:53:34.520
<v Speaker 2>In it?

1579
01:53:34.600 --> 01:53:37.079
<v Speaker 1>We're trying to break them apart. So I'm going to talk.

1580
01:53:37.399 --> 01:53:40.439
<v Speaker 1>The course will include a lot of talk of antitrust,

1581
01:53:41.399 --> 01:53:46.279
<v Speaker 1>a lot of talk on government's attempts to do industrial

1582
01:53:46.359 --> 01:53:50.119
<v Speaker 1>planning all the way up to today with Trump and Biden.

1583
01:53:51.439 --> 01:53:53.920
<v Speaker 1>Course will also include a lot on regulations and our

1584
01:53:53.960 --> 01:53:57.720
<v Speaker 1>governments try to control whole industries. Think about how governments

1585
01:53:57.720 --> 01:54:02.319
<v Speaker 1>try to control I mean literally try to control every

1586
01:54:02.399 --> 01:54:07.840
<v Speaker 1>aspect of it. I mean, FM radio came out a

1587
01:54:07.920 --> 01:54:10.319
<v Speaker 1>couple of decades after it should have because the government

1588
01:54:10.319 --> 01:54:15.039
<v Speaker 1>wouldn't allow it, and it still controls the bandwidth. I

1589
01:54:15.119 --> 01:54:19.479
<v Speaker 1>mean it's still bandwidth. Is imagine a bandwidth was all

1590
01:54:19.560 --> 01:54:22.880
<v Speaker 1>privately owned and could be sold and traded. We might

1591
01:54:22.920 --> 01:54:26.359
<v Speaker 1>have had mobile phones much easier earlier. We might have

1592
01:54:26.399 --> 01:54:30.319
<v Speaker 1>had all kinds of goodies much much earlier than we

1593
01:54:30.399 --> 01:54:33.079
<v Speaker 1>actually did. But anyway, I'm going to get into all

1594
01:54:33.119 --> 01:54:36.680
<v Speaker 1>of that as part of the course. So it's a

1595
01:54:37.039 --> 01:54:40.439
<v Speaker 1>history of business in many respects. And I'm motivating by

1596
01:54:40.479 --> 01:54:44.439
<v Speaker 1>emphasizing the importance of business to the current quality and

1597
01:54:44.479 --> 01:54:47.760
<v Speaker 1>standard living and yet at the same time the hostility

1598
01:54:47.840 --> 01:54:53.479
<v Speaker 1>that exists the woods business and corporations. And we're going

1599
01:54:53.520 --> 01:54:56.039
<v Speaker 1>to get into the weeds about the legal status of

1600
01:54:56.079 --> 01:55:00.800
<v Speaker 1>corporations and what they represent, and the the problems that

1601
01:55:00.880 --> 01:55:02.960
<v Speaker 1>might exist and in the corporations, and how the market

1602
01:55:03.079 --> 01:55:07.159
<v Speaker 1>solve it, and how governments intervene and prevent the solutions

1603
01:55:07.199 --> 01:55:10.840
<v Speaker 1>from actually coming through. And there's a ton of ton

1604
01:55:10.960 --> 01:55:14.560
<v Speaker 1>of different issues that I think are really interesting but yeah,

1605
01:55:14.640 --> 01:55:18.239
<v Speaker 1>you have to love this stuff, and I'm going to

1606
01:55:18.319 --> 01:55:21.720
<v Speaker 1>try to help you love it by showing you how

1607
01:55:21.800 --> 01:55:27.439
<v Speaker 1>it affects the life you live Adridin. Do you think

1608
01:55:27.600 --> 01:55:30.399
<v Speaker 1>Israel will get all the weapons needed to finish this job?

1609
01:55:30.560 --> 01:55:33.560
<v Speaker 1>Can Trump stop Israel as the entire military operation in

1610
01:55:33.720 --> 01:55:36.319
<v Speaker 1>order to make a deal. I think Trump could probably

1611
01:55:37.279 --> 01:55:39.119
<v Speaker 1>get Israel to stop. I don't think he will, but

1612
01:55:39.199 --> 01:55:43.600
<v Speaker 1>he could. Can Israel get the whole job done by itself?

1613
01:55:43.720 --> 01:55:46.800
<v Speaker 1>I think the answer is yes. Will it get all

1614
01:55:46.800 --> 01:55:49.159
<v Speaker 1>the weapons it needs? I don't think it needs any

1615
01:55:49.239 --> 01:55:52.479
<v Speaker 1>weapons to get I think it just needs the time

1616
01:55:53.159 --> 01:55:55.479
<v Speaker 1>and the space to do it. The weapon that would

1617
01:55:55.479 --> 01:55:59.960
<v Speaker 1>make this quick is the big mother of all bamb

1618
01:56:00.479 --> 01:56:03.760
<v Speaker 1>the bunker Basta. Isra's not gonna get that. It doesn't

1619
01:56:03.800 --> 01:56:08.159
<v Speaker 1>have a delivery mechanism for that, and it's gonna have

1620
01:56:08.520 --> 01:56:11.079
<v Speaker 1>fined other ways to get rid of four Door, you know.

1621
01:56:12.760 --> 01:56:15.720
<v Speaker 1>I think probably by putting troops in there and blowing

1622
01:56:15.760 --> 01:56:19.800
<v Speaker 1>it up from within. But that's difficult, dangerous, super dangerous,

1623
01:56:20.039 --> 01:56:23.920
<v Speaker 1>super difficult, super SEVERER risky. They will only do that

1624
01:56:24.079 --> 01:56:26.079
<v Speaker 1>once they're convinced Trump is not going to do it.

1625
01:56:26.720 --> 01:56:31.000
<v Speaker 1>Trump will not bomb the place, so that's they're gonna delay, delay, delay,

1626
01:56:31.880 --> 01:56:36.640
<v Speaker 1>until until they convinced Trump's just not gonna come, and

1627
01:56:36.760 --> 01:56:42.079
<v Speaker 1>then they will take care of it without Trump. Friend,

1628
01:56:42.159 --> 01:56:45.840
<v Speaker 1>harp up, I'm listening through Peacock's podcast show, and I

1629
01:56:45.920 --> 01:56:49.680
<v Speaker 1>got far enough to hear your first episode, episode two

1630
01:56:49.840 --> 01:56:53.880
<v Speaker 1>hundred and forty ish. Uh, here's ten dollars in celebration.

1631
01:56:54.279 --> 01:56:57.239
<v Speaker 1>I would do more, but O'Connor soon. Thanks Ed Harper.

1632
01:56:57.680 --> 01:57:00.680
<v Speaker 1>I appreciate that, and there's still a lot more episodes

1633
01:57:02.199 --> 01:57:06.039
<v Speaker 1>that I did for the Land and Peacock Show. Jason

1634
01:57:06.199 --> 01:57:09.119
<v Speaker 1>says a pendul Let had a great quote about Trump

1635
01:57:09.600 --> 01:57:14.399
<v Speaker 1>worth repeating for fifteen dollars. Quote, trying to explain art

1636
01:57:15.079 --> 01:57:19.159
<v Speaker 1>to Donald Trump is like trying to explain art to

1637
01:57:19.319 --> 01:57:27.479
<v Speaker 1>Donald Trump. I get it, I get it. That's a

1638
01:57:27.560 --> 01:57:31.840
<v Speaker 1>penduled joke that fits him. Neil, do you think there

1639
01:57:31.880 --> 01:57:34.319
<v Speaker 1>will ever be a time where all countries will be

1640
01:57:34.399 --> 01:57:39.399
<v Speaker 1>in peace and militaries will no longer be needed? Well,

1641
01:57:39.439 --> 01:57:41.239
<v Speaker 1>I don't know if militaries will no longer be needed,

1642
01:57:41.279 --> 01:57:44.560
<v Speaker 1>but yeah, I do think one day the world will

1643
01:57:44.600 --> 01:57:47.720
<v Speaker 1>live in peace. That is the day where objectives and wins,

1644
01:57:48.359 --> 01:57:52.520
<v Speaker 1>where people, where people unplanet Earth are focused on their

1645
01:57:52.560 --> 01:57:56.000
<v Speaker 1>own individual happiness. It's the day where the morality of

1646
01:57:56.119 --> 01:58:00.680
<v Speaker 1>egoism wins. It's the day where selfishness wins. Selfish people

1647
01:58:00.720 --> 01:58:03.840
<v Speaker 1>don't want to go to war. War is a way

1648
01:58:03.840 --> 01:58:07.279
<v Speaker 1>of ending your life. It's not good for you. So

1649
01:58:11.840 --> 01:58:15.119
<v Speaker 1>I think yes, But objectivism, or at least objectives morality,

1650
01:58:15.680 --> 01:58:21.319
<v Speaker 1>has to win first. All right, everybody, no show tomorrow.

1651
01:58:22.000 --> 01:58:27.600
<v Speaker 1>I'm traveling, traveling all day, so no show tomorrow. After that,

1652
01:58:27.880 --> 01:58:31.720
<v Speaker 1>it really depends on how the course is going. If

1653
01:58:31.760 --> 01:58:34.560
<v Speaker 1>I have plenty of time and you know, I have

1654
01:58:34.720 --> 01:58:38.079
<v Speaker 1>no prep to do, which is unlikely, very unlikely. I'll

1655
01:58:38.119 --> 01:58:42.479
<v Speaker 1>try to do shows on Thursday and Friday, no show

1656
01:58:42.520 --> 01:58:46.840
<v Speaker 1>on Saturday. But the most likely scenario is, I'm warning you,

1657
01:58:47.119 --> 01:58:50.560
<v Speaker 1>the most likely scenario is unless there's kind of breaking

1658
01:58:50.680 --> 01:58:53.640
<v Speaker 1>news and I just have to no show Wednesday, no

1659
01:58:53.800 --> 01:58:57.800
<v Speaker 1>show Thursday, no show Friday, no show Saturday. I'll try

1660
01:58:57.840 --> 01:59:01.159
<v Speaker 1>to be back on Sunday. Now there's all going on,

1661
01:59:02.680 --> 01:59:04.760
<v Speaker 1>so there's a there's a chance that I won't be

1662
01:59:04.960 --> 01:59:09.279
<v Speaker 1>won't be able to resist coming on and letting you

1663
01:59:09.359 --> 01:59:12.039
<v Speaker 1>know what I think, particularly if there's something exciting this

1664
01:59:12.119 --> 01:59:15.800
<v Speaker 1>is happening, So we will see. Maybe I'll do short shows,

1665
01:59:15.880 --> 01:59:19.800
<v Speaker 1>just quick updates or something. But that will depend on

1666
01:59:19.880 --> 01:59:27.159
<v Speaker 1>really what's going on and how dramatic dramatic it is. Huh.

1667
01:59:27.880 --> 01:59:30.439
<v Speaker 1>I suppose he has all the striking targets at the

1668
01:59:31.239 --> 01:59:34.840
<v Speaker 1>Imam Hussein University campus. Maybe there's some labs there that

1669
01:59:34.880 --> 01:59:37.359
<v Speaker 1>they want to take out, and the headquarters of the

1670
01:59:37.439 --> 01:59:42.319
<v Speaker 1>Islamic Revolutionary God Corps in District four of Eastern Tehran,

1671
01:59:42.520 --> 01:59:48.800
<v Speaker 1>which is a district they asked be evacuated. All right,

1672
01:59:50.199 --> 01:59:53.760
<v Speaker 1>thank you guys, uh, thank you all the super chatties.

1673
01:59:53.800 --> 01:59:57.000
<v Speaker 1>You are great, in particular thank you to Richard and Amen,

1674
01:59:57.359 --> 02:00:01.039
<v Speaker 1>but thank you to everybody, and that I will see

1675
02:00:01.079 --> 02:00:06.279
<v Speaker 1>you all Sunday, but probably earlier than that. We'll see

1676
02:00:06.399 --> 02:00:07.039
<v Speaker 1>bye everybody.
