00:00:36.880 --> 00:00:47.920
<v Speaker 1>Mainus is a true American hero. This is Rob Maynus Live.

12
00:00:48.240 --> 00:00:51.119
<v Speaker 3>Our top focus on beyond Adasabo Crane has launched one

13
00:00:51.200 --> 00:00:53.560
<v Speaker 3>of its widest waves of long range thrown in art

14
00:00:53.640 --> 00:00:57.159
<v Speaker 3>Ludi attacks on Russian territory, killing at least eight people

15
00:00:57.240 --> 00:01:00.000
<v Speaker 3>and striking targets hundreds of kilometers from the front line.

16
00:01:00.520 --> 00:01:06.000
<v Speaker 3>According to Russian authorities, Belgarude, Saratov and Oudmotia regions in

17
00:01:06.079 --> 00:01:10.319
<v Speaker 3>Russia had reported their deadliest incidents. Three people were killed

18
00:01:10.319 --> 00:01:13.599
<v Speaker 3>in shelling in Belgarud, near the Ukrainian border, while two

19
00:01:13.599 --> 00:01:16.519
<v Speaker 3>others died after a drone strike at a residential building

20
00:01:16.920 --> 00:01:21.799
<v Speaker 3>in the Saratov region. In Russia's Oudmotia region, more than

21
00:01:21.840 --> 00:01:25.040
<v Speaker 3>a thousand kilometers from the battlefield. Three people were killed

22
00:01:25.040 --> 00:01:28.680
<v Speaker 3>when a drone struck as civilian vehicle. Russian authority is

23
00:01:28.719 --> 00:01:32.480
<v Speaker 3>also reported that Ukrainian rones targeted a Wildbury's warehouse in

24
00:01:32.560 --> 00:01:37.000
<v Speaker 3>Samara Region, which is eight hundred kilometers from Ukraine's forward positions,

25
00:01:37.040 --> 00:01:40.439
<v Speaker 3>triggering a fire. No casualties were reported from the strike

26
00:01:40.560 --> 00:01:44.480
<v Speaker 3>in the warehouse. Meanwhile, Moscow said that its aerotophone systems

27
00:01:44.519 --> 00:01:48.439
<v Speaker 3>has intercepted six hundred and thirty five Ukrainian drones overnight

28
00:01:49.000 --> 00:01:51.560
<v Speaker 3>and described it as one of the largest drone attacks

29
00:01:51.599 --> 00:01:56.120
<v Speaker 3>carried out by Ukraine. In recent months, Ukraine has increasingly

30
00:01:56.159 --> 00:01:59.840
<v Speaker 3>expanded its long rain strikes on Russian military, energy, and

31
00:02:00.079 --> 00:02:04.400
<v Speaker 3>economic infrastructure. Ukraine an authority state that such strikes are

32
00:02:04.439 --> 00:02:09.599
<v Speaker 3>a legitimate response to continued Russian aggression. Keave maintains part

33
00:02:09.680 --> 00:02:12.639
<v Speaker 3>the continued strikes will increase pressure on Moscow to return

34
00:02:12.639 --> 00:02:17.120
<v Speaker 3>to negotiations. While these escalations come as diplomatic efforts show

35
00:02:17.319 --> 00:02:21.280
<v Speaker 3>tentative signs of revival, US President Donald Trump recently reversed

36
00:02:21.280 --> 00:02:25.080
<v Speaker 3>course and he approved a Patriot air defense manufacturing license

37
00:02:25.159 --> 00:02:28.919
<v Speaker 3>for Ukraine. Meanwhile, you as Secretary of State Marco Rubio

38
00:02:29.000 --> 00:02:32.800
<v Speaker 3>told a leading American news network that Washington is actively

39
00:02:32.840 --> 00:02:37.120
<v Speaker 3>exploring opportunities to restart peace talks between Russia and Ukraine,

40
00:02:37.400 --> 00:02:39.360
<v Speaker 3>even as fighting on the ground continues.

41
00:02:39.439 --> 00:02:45.159
<v Speaker 4>Unabated efforts over the next few weeks to see if

42
00:02:45.159 --> 00:02:47.680
<v Speaker 4>we can't restart talks between the two sides and bring

43
00:02:47.680 --> 00:02:51.639
<v Speaker 4>this war to an end. But we also understand that

44
00:02:51.680 --> 00:02:54.840
<v Speaker 4>both sides have some pretty strong red lines, and until

45
00:02:54.840 --> 00:02:56.919
<v Speaker 4>we can bring those red lines a little closer together,

46
00:02:57.680 --> 00:02:59.360
<v Speaker 4>we're not going to be there yet. But we're ready

47
00:02:59.400 --> 00:03:00.919
<v Speaker 4>to go in the press, and it's told his team,

48
00:03:00.960 --> 00:03:04.039
<v Speaker 4>if you see an opportunity to be a force that

49
00:03:04.039 --> 00:03:07.199
<v Speaker 4>brings about some momentum behind peace talks, let's do it.

50
00:03:13.319 --> 00:03:16.240
<v Speaker 5>Welcome back to the Robbiners Show. We're live on Worldview

51
00:03:16.280 --> 00:03:19.719
<v Speaker 5>two and our X basis Simulcastle. It's more War Monday,

52
00:03:19.840 --> 00:03:25.680
<v Speaker 5>and war is still unpredictable. Getting the peace well, people

53
00:03:25.680 --> 00:03:28.919
<v Speaker 5>are trying right now. It looks a whole lot like

54
00:03:29.400 --> 00:03:34.000
<v Speaker 5>more war. You just saw Ukraine hit a key strategic

55
00:03:34.479 --> 00:03:38.400
<v Speaker 5>Russian bomber base. I think it's called Ingles too. That's

56
00:03:38.479 --> 00:03:44.000
<v Speaker 5>got bears and Blackjack bombers there, which are used to

57
00:03:44.120 --> 00:03:49.120
<v Speaker 5>drop christmassiles on Ukraine, a direct strike at the heart

58
00:03:49.120 --> 00:03:53.919
<v Speaker 5>of Moscow's long range airpower. It's bold, it's risky, and

59
00:03:53.960 --> 00:03:57.919
<v Speaker 5>it's a reminder that this conflict can escalate in a heartbeat.

60
00:03:58.520 --> 00:04:03.080
<v Speaker 5>President Trump cancels canceled the planned weekend strikes on Iran,

61
00:04:03.719 --> 00:04:08.919
<v Speaker 5>citing diplomacy. Is this a genuine off MP or just

62
00:04:08.960 --> 00:04:12.960
<v Speaker 5>a pause while the region keeps boiling over because Israel

63
00:04:13.159 --> 00:04:16.519
<v Speaker 5>is having to conduct fresh self defense strikes in Lebanon.

64
00:04:17.720 --> 00:04:22.240
<v Speaker 5>Of course, there's a ceasefire there supposedly, but Hesbelah doesn't

65
00:04:22.279 --> 00:04:26.639
<v Speaker 5>really acknowledge that ceasefire between Israel and the Lebanese government.

66
00:04:27.879 --> 00:04:30.160
<v Speaker 5>What else do we got here? And we've also got

67
00:04:30.240 --> 00:04:33.399
<v Speaker 5>a drone attack on a US floating gas storage facility

68
00:04:33.439 --> 00:04:37.240
<v Speaker 5>in Egypt, and that has put the Suez Canal itself

69
00:04:37.319 --> 00:04:40.920
<v Speaker 5>under threat. The entire map looks like it's powder keg.

70
00:04:41.480 --> 00:04:45.720
<v Speaker 5>It refuse is lit from Southwest Asia to Moscow. And

71
00:04:45.759 --> 00:04:48.000
<v Speaker 5>to break all this down with no spinning, no filter,

72
00:04:48.079 --> 00:04:50.959
<v Speaker 5>as a man who's been there and here before, retired

73
00:04:51.000 --> 00:04:56.120
<v Speaker 5>Special LITS pilot CDM Press president and CEO, patriot and

74
00:04:56.160 --> 00:04:59.720
<v Speaker 5>fearless fruit teller El Todd Wood, who just got back

75
00:04:59.720 --> 00:05:02.079
<v Speaker 5>from Lebanon. I believe God.

76
00:05:02.120 --> 00:05:04.920
<v Speaker 2>Welcome back, Oh Rob, thanks for having me on. Really

77
00:05:04.959 --> 00:05:07.319
<v Speaker 2>appreciate it.

78
00:05:07.319 --> 00:05:10.000
<v Speaker 5>It's just like you know, live TV, folks is like

79
00:05:10.560 --> 00:05:13.199
<v Speaker 5>ducks on a pond where you see Todd and I

80
00:05:13.480 --> 00:05:17.279
<v Speaker 5>nice and calm. Here we're both aviator background. But there's

81
00:05:17.319 --> 00:05:20.040
<v Speaker 5>been some fierce pedaling going on because of my buffoonery

82
00:05:20.120 --> 00:05:27.680
<v Speaker 5>this morning. I appreciate baked all right, So let's start

83
00:05:27.759 --> 00:05:33.720
<v Speaker 5>with the Ukraine. Your team and you cover this, I

84
00:05:33.759 --> 00:05:38.759
<v Speaker 5>think better than any media outlet that's out there. So

85
00:05:39.000 --> 00:05:41.920
<v Speaker 5>what are they using this? This air base is like

86
00:05:42.399 --> 00:05:46.560
<v Speaker 5>a thousand kilometers out past the Urals right ural mountain range,

87
00:05:46.839 --> 00:05:47.240
<v Speaker 5>isn't it?

88
00:05:48.040 --> 00:05:51.519
<v Speaker 2>Yeah? Thank you. The issue is they're using technology that's

89
00:05:51.560 --> 00:05:55.519
<v Speaker 2>been supplied to them by NATO essentially. I don't know

90
00:05:55.600 --> 00:05:59.720
<v Speaker 2>if the US is involved or not, but there's definitely

91
00:05:59.720 --> 00:06:03.800
<v Speaker 2>some technology, long range strike technology being provided to the Ukrainians.

92
00:06:04.079 --> 00:06:06.279
<v Speaker 2>I find that very disturbing. I'm going to speak blunt

93
00:06:06.319 --> 00:06:08.399
<v Speaker 2>with you. I want this war to end. I've been

94
00:06:08.480 --> 00:06:10.560
<v Speaker 2>streaming for it for five years. It needs to end

95
00:06:10.600 --> 00:06:13.600
<v Speaker 2>because you saw this week Ukraine is trying to combine

96
00:06:14.040 --> 00:06:18.759
<v Speaker 2>the Iran and Russian wars. Because that's a way for

97
00:06:18.839 --> 00:06:21.600
<v Speaker 2>them to keep in business. And you know, they struck

98
00:06:21.639 --> 00:06:24.920
<v Speaker 2>a Russian tanker in the Caspian Sea and you know,

99
00:06:24.959 --> 00:06:27.639
<v Speaker 2>apologize for it, but then there's other stuff going on.

100
00:06:28.199 --> 00:06:30.399
<v Speaker 2>They want to combine these wars because they see that

101
00:06:30.480 --> 00:06:33.279
<v Speaker 2>as a way to continue to speck it for weapons

102
00:06:33.279 --> 00:06:35.800
<v Speaker 2>flow for support. I happen to know because I have

103
00:06:35.879 --> 00:06:38.680
<v Speaker 2>some sources inside, that President Trump does not want that

104
00:06:38.759 --> 00:06:41.000
<v Speaker 2>to happen. He wants the Ukrainie War to end. He's

105
00:06:41.000 --> 00:06:43.680
<v Speaker 2>trying to find a way to end it. I think

106
00:06:43.680 --> 00:06:45.759
<v Speaker 2>he has to be bolder myself. But you know, who

107
00:06:45.800 --> 00:06:48.360
<v Speaker 2>am I to give the directions to the president. But

108
00:06:48.839 --> 00:06:51.439
<v Speaker 2>I would just say we're done with it, and NATO

109
00:06:51.560 --> 00:06:53.959
<v Speaker 2>you have it and that's it. And Russia attacks you,

110
00:06:54.279 --> 00:06:56.240
<v Speaker 2>We're not going to support you as an Article five

111
00:06:56.600 --> 00:07:00.920
<v Speaker 2>because you're providing weapons that are attacking muscle and various

112
00:07:00.920 --> 00:07:03.920
<v Speaker 2>strategic targets inside the Russian Federation. So I'm not pro

113
00:07:04.000 --> 00:07:07.439
<v Speaker 2>Russian pro Ukrainian. I'm pro peace, pro humanity from Christian

114
00:07:07.480 --> 00:07:09.600
<v Speaker 2>These are two Christian nations fighting each other. It needs

115
00:07:09.639 --> 00:07:12.759
<v Speaker 2>to end, and that that's my story and I'm sticking

116
00:07:12.759 --> 00:07:13.199
<v Speaker 2>to it. Rob.

117
00:07:13.639 --> 00:07:15.360
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, I think I think you and I are on

118
00:07:15.439 --> 00:07:18.720
<v Speaker 5>the same page the president is on. He's always said, Hey,

119
00:07:18.720 --> 00:07:22.199
<v Speaker 5>this war wouldn't have started had I still been president, Yeah,

120
00:07:22.519 --> 00:07:25.399
<v Speaker 5>because he would have got them together and worked things out.

121
00:07:25.639 --> 00:07:28.800
<v Speaker 5>Uh and uh. And just because they're in a war

122
00:07:28.879 --> 00:07:31.879
<v Speaker 5>doesn't mean we should be contributing anymore to it. Do

123
00:07:31.959 --> 00:07:36.319
<v Speaker 5>you think that they warned us about the Caspian Sea strikes?

124
00:07:37.600 --> 00:07:41.399
<v Speaker 2>I don't know. I you know, I don't know what's

125
00:07:41.439 --> 00:07:43.360
<v Speaker 2>going on. I know the m I six in the

126
00:07:43.439 --> 00:07:47.439
<v Speaker 2>UK are very involved in this and are driving this.

127
00:07:47.920 --> 00:07:51.319
<v Speaker 2>So whether they won the US, I don't know. I mean,

128
00:07:51.360 --> 00:07:53.639
<v Speaker 2>Trump is putting out a lot of you know, both

129
00:07:53.680 --> 00:07:56.120
<v Speaker 2>sides of the coin, if you will. Yeah, I think,

130
00:07:56.920 --> 00:08:02.120
<v Speaker 2>I think you know the intentional ambiguity. But the fact

131
00:08:02.240 --> 00:08:05.839
<v Speaker 2>is that this could, as you mentioned, seriously, escalate very

132
00:08:05.879 --> 00:08:10.040
<v Speaker 2>easily because you know, all this thought that we're going to,

133
00:08:10.360 --> 00:08:12.800
<v Speaker 2>you know, wear the Russians down and the population will

134
00:08:12.839 --> 00:08:19.439
<v Speaker 2>overthrow Putsen, the exact opposite is happening. Yeah, Yeah, go ahead.

135
00:08:19.439 --> 00:08:21.519
<v Speaker 5>I wanted to ask you because I keep I keep

136
00:08:21.519 --> 00:08:25.360
<v Speaker 5>hearing it in the American media from the you know,

137
00:08:25.480 --> 00:08:28.639
<v Speaker 5>the neo I have to use that phrase because it's

138
00:08:28.639 --> 00:08:31.879
<v Speaker 5>easy to know who they are, even though I've been

139
00:08:31.920 --> 00:08:36.120
<v Speaker 5>called one before. I'm not, but the Neocon talking heads,

140
00:08:36.679 --> 00:08:39.799
<v Speaker 5>former generals usually are out there. They've all of a

141
00:08:39.840 --> 00:08:44.480
<v Speaker 5>sudden started already kind of nuancing their discussion about well,

142
00:08:44.639 --> 00:08:48.600
<v Speaker 5>Ukrainians could win this. Now have you noticed that?

143
00:08:48.840 --> 00:08:52.879
<v Speaker 2>And oh big time? My probably Pete Blabur and I

144
00:08:52.919 --> 00:08:54.559
<v Speaker 2>had we do a podcasts every week. He is a

145
00:08:54.559 --> 00:08:58.159
<v Speaker 2>former Delta Force commander at all levels and where we

146
00:08:58.240 --> 00:09:00.639
<v Speaker 2>have the same view of the world. And we've talked

147
00:09:00.639 --> 00:09:03.679
<v Speaker 2>about that over and over. These generals that are captured

148
00:09:04.159 --> 00:09:05.919
<v Speaker 2>by the Blob for lack of a better word, that

149
00:09:06.080 --> 00:09:09.879
<v Speaker 2>want this war to continue, and this is NATO running

150
00:09:09.879 --> 00:09:12.440
<v Speaker 2>this war, and this is you know, a whole I

151
00:09:12.440 --> 00:09:16.159
<v Speaker 2>think the US has to look at our entire structure

152
00:09:16.200 --> 00:09:18.200
<v Speaker 2>in Europe. I think Trump is doing that slowly. You're

153
00:09:18.240 --> 00:09:20.399
<v Speaker 2>seeing a lot of moves. I think was it this

154
00:09:20.399 --> 00:09:23.960
<v Speaker 2>week he turned over something in NATO to the Europeans.

155
00:09:24.360 --> 00:09:27.639
<v Speaker 2>I forget the exact title of the office, but that

156
00:09:27.840 --> 00:09:30.279
<v Speaker 2>is a process that's going forward. I think it needs

157
00:09:30.320 --> 00:09:32.879
<v Speaker 2>to move faster because I don't think they have our

158
00:09:32.919 --> 00:09:34.559
<v Speaker 2>best interests in heart, and we don't want to be

159
00:09:34.559 --> 00:09:37.639
<v Speaker 2>the backstop for their bad decisions in their warmont green.

160
00:09:37.759 --> 00:09:39.879
<v Speaker 2>I mean, we could have a peace treaty. We could

161
00:09:39.879 --> 00:09:41.679
<v Speaker 2>go in and say this is the line. It's going

162
00:09:41.759 --> 00:09:43.799
<v Speaker 2>to stay here. Maybe there's a little change on either side,

163
00:09:44.360 --> 00:09:47.120
<v Speaker 2>you know, stop the fighting and let's work out a

164
00:09:47.159 --> 00:09:49.720
<v Speaker 2>deal as to where the exact demarcation line is. I mean,

165
00:09:49.720 --> 00:09:52.440
<v Speaker 2>that deal could be done, I think. But the problem

166
00:09:52.519 --> 00:09:56.600
<v Speaker 2>is now you're getting strikes into Russia at very high

167
00:09:56.679 --> 00:10:01.399
<v Speaker 2>value targets. The Russians are feeling it, they're getting angry, and.

168
00:10:01.399 --> 00:10:04.200
<v Speaker 5>So along with that strike on the Bomber base, there's

169
00:10:04.639 --> 00:10:08.919
<v Speaker 5>a refinery close to their oil refinery. That's pretty dramatic

170
00:10:09.919 --> 00:10:12.919
<v Speaker 5>amount of production. The numbers.

171
00:10:13.240 --> 00:10:15.840
<v Speaker 2>Put yourself in Putin's place or the people around him,

172
00:10:16.159 --> 00:10:20.440
<v Speaker 2>you know, the Praetorian Guard. They look at further and

173
00:10:20.480 --> 00:10:23.480
<v Speaker 2>further strikes into Russia. They say, we're winning on the

174
00:10:23.519 --> 00:10:26.759
<v Speaker 2>ground in Ukraine. That is a fact. They just took Constantinoka.

175
00:10:26.799 --> 00:10:30.480
<v Speaker 2>I mean, they are moving forward and the Ukraine is

176
00:10:30.480 --> 00:10:33.399
<v Speaker 2>not taking territory. They can't stop the Russian advance. So

177
00:10:33.519 --> 00:10:36.600
<v Speaker 2>Ukraine is lashing out at high value targets inside of Russia.

178
00:10:36.720 --> 00:10:39.080
<v Speaker 2>If you were the Kremlin military planners and you said, well,

179
00:10:39.120 --> 00:10:40.960
<v Speaker 2>all these things are being made in Poland or the

180
00:10:41.039 --> 00:10:45.279
<v Speaker 2>UK or or Germany. We need to take these out.

181
00:10:45.879 --> 00:10:48.720
<v Speaker 2>And that's we're getting close to that point. And I

182
00:10:48.720 --> 00:10:50.679
<v Speaker 2>don't want that. And I'm not pro Russia. I'm just

183
00:10:50.759 --> 00:10:54.480
<v Speaker 2>pro reality. That's that's what's going to happen. And then

184
00:10:54.480 --> 00:10:56.480
<v Speaker 2>you've got World War three. And that's why we can't

185
00:10:56.519 --> 00:10:59.080
<v Speaker 2>be on the hook to support Europe for their bad decisions.

186
00:10:59.200 --> 00:11:02.879
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, last week a Russian it was reported anyway that

187
00:11:03.240 --> 00:11:05.480
<v Speaker 5>some type of Russian asset, I don't know if it

188
00:11:05.559 --> 00:11:09.919
<v Speaker 5>was a drone, a christmasile or one of their beadium

189
00:11:10.000 --> 00:11:14.440
<v Speaker 5>range of calistic missiles was Poland. It landed in Poland, Uh,

190
00:11:14.600 --> 00:11:17.720
<v Speaker 5>and detonated, I think, But it was in the field.

191
00:11:17.759 --> 00:11:20.120
<v Speaker 5>It wasn't. That doesn't appear that it was targeted near

192
00:11:20.279 --> 00:11:25.240
<v Speaker 5>anything financial. Uh. And that's happened before. Uh. But Uh.

193
00:11:26.399 --> 00:11:32.440
<v Speaker 5>But when you have the dynamic of firing deep into

194
00:11:32.480 --> 00:11:37.039
<v Speaker 5>Russia strategic targets like the bomber bases and oil refineries,

195
00:11:37.399 --> 00:11:41.240
<v Speaker 5>you combine that with Okay, the Russian navy ship in

196
00:11:41.279 --> 00:11:44.600
<v Speaker 5>the Caspian See that's a legitimate target. Uh. Even the

197
00:11:44.639 --> 00:11:51.279
<v Speaker 5>Iranian UH cargo ship is kind of a legitimate target,

198
00:11:51.679 --> 00:11:56.279
<v Speaker 5>especially from our perspective, it was bringing Russian stuff there,

199
00:11:56.320 --> 00:12:00.120
<v Speaker 5>but but the Ukrainians aren't involved in the whole Iran thing.

200
00:12:00.200 --> 00:12:04.639
<v Speaker 5>And mixing the two there and then combining it with

201
00:12:04.720 --> 00:12:08.639
<v Speaker 5>the strategic thing, it just doesn't tell the truth about

202
00:12:08.679 --> 00:12:10.720
<v Speaker 5>what's really happened. And you just did I was going

203
00:12:10.759 --> 00:12:13.879
<v Speaker 5>to ask you about it, about what was still happening

204
00:12:13.879 --> 00:12:15.799
<v Speaker 5>on the ground, and the Russians are still moving forward

205
00:12:15.840 --> 00:12:16.320
<v Speaker 5>on the ground.

206
00:12:16.879 --> 00:12:21.000
<v Speaker 2>Yes, I mean, and you see a lot of stuff

207
00:12:21.039 --> 00:12:23.480
<v Speaker 2>on social media of Ukrainians and masks saying, you know,

208
00:12:24.120 --> 00:12:26.919
<v Speaker 2>we're coming for Ron And I mean, what they had

209
00:12:26.960 --> 00:12:30.720
<v Speaker 2>built in Ukraine is a mercenary army. It's turning into

210
00:12:30.720 --> 00:12:33.039
<v Speaker 2>a robot army in a big way. It's going to

211
00:12:33.039 --> 00:12:36.159
<v Speaker 2>be a very dangerous thing sitting in the middle of Europe.

212
00:12:36.440 --> 00:12:38.159
<v Speaker 2>I don't think it's going to be used for good.

213
00:12:38.600 --> 00:12:41.360
<v Speaker 2>They've depopulated the Ukrainian I mean. There's a video out

214
00:12:41.360 --> 00:12:45.200
<v Speaker 2>this morning of the bounty hunters coming in to grab

215
00:12:45.240 --> 00:12:48.159
<v Speaker 2>a guy in de Nepro, I think, and three women

216
00:12:48.240 --> 00:12:50.000
<v Speaker 2>and the family come out to save them. They shoot

217
00:12:50.000 --> 00:12:52.240
<v Speaker 2>one of the women, they run over the other woman

218
00:12:52.279 --> 00:12:54.799
<v Speaker 2>with a car and they pepper spray the third one.

219
00:12:55.240 --> 00:12:57.759
<v Speaker 2>I mean this is what we're fighting for, this is

220
00:12:57.759 --> 00:13:02.720
<v Speaker 2>what we're supporting. I mean, that is evil, So you know,

221
00:13:03.440 --> 00:13:07.080
<v Speaker 2>there's no excuse for that, and so that is happening

222
00:13:07.120 --> 00:13:10.159
<v Speaker 2>over and over and over. So you're literally depopulating the

223
00:13:10.200 --> 00:13:13.840
<v Speaker 2>Christian population in Ukraine on both sides, and I think

224
00:13:13.879 --> 00:13:16.159
<v Speaker 2>that's the end goal and they're going to move in.

225
00:13:16.240 --> 00:13:18.200
<v Speaker 2>It's going to be the first African European nation.

226
00:13:19.279 --> 00:13:23.639
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, yeah, I had a question, but I lost him.

227
00:13:24.960 --> 00:13:28.480
<v Speaker 5>The population in the don Bass that's primarily Russian. They're

228
00:13:28.519 --> 00:13:31.399
<v Speaker 5>not all Russian, but there primarily are Are those the

229
00:13:31.440 --> 00:13:36.679
<v Speaker 5>majority the young men? Are they being drafted into the

230
00:13:36.799 --> 00:13:41.960
<v Speaker 5>army on the Russian side and fighting there they killed

231
00:13:41.960 --> 00:13:42.600
<v Speaker 5>off already.

232
00:13:43.080 --> 00:13:45.720
<v Speaker 2>Well, I don't know the specifics in Danbass, but they

233
00:13:45.799 --> 00:13:50.679
<v Speaker 2>are mobilized into the Russian forces. Yes, and Putin has

234
00:13:50.720 --> 00:13:55.519
<v Speaker 2>been very i would say cautious on the mobilization because

235
00:13:55.519 --> 00:13:58.360
<v Speaker 2>obviously that has societal impact. He's brought in North Korean's,

236
00:13:58.399 --> 00:14:00.600
<v Speaker 2>he's brought in Africans, he's brought in Mercians too. I'm

237
00:14:00.600 --> 00:14:03.320
<v Speaker 2>not saying he's not doing that, but it's not the

238
00:14:03.440 --> 00:14:05.679
<v Speaker 2>level that Ukraine is. Ukraine is running out of people.

239
00:14:05.720 --> 00:14:08.720
<v Speaker 2>They literally don't have the manampower anymore. Uh, And I

240
00:14:08.720 --> 00:14:12.840
<v Speaker 2>think that's intentional. So they're they're creating. You ask yourself,

241
00:14:12.840 --> 00:14:15.559
<v Speaker 2>if this massive army that wants a war with the Russia,

242
00:14:15.840 --> 00:14:19.320
<v Speaker 2>it can look westward two you know. I mean, if

243
00:14:19.360 --> 00:14:20.759
<v Speaker 2>if you look at what's going on with the EU,

244
00:14:20.799 --> 00:14:23.000
<v Speaker 2>with all the censorship and all this, you could make

245
00:14:23.000 --> 00:14:25.480
<v Speaker 2>the case that they're building some kind of enforcement mechanism

246
00:14:25.799 --> 00:14:28.679
<v Speaker 2>in Ukraine for the rest of Europe. So yeah, I

247
00:14:29.000 --> 00:14:30.240
<v Speaker 2>just find it very very dark.

248
00:14:30.600 --> 00:14:32.279
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, we're going to take a break, but when we

249
00:14:32.320 --> 00:14:33.919
<v Speaker 5>come back, we're going to see a clip about the

250
00:14:34.000 --> 00:14:36.120
<v Speaker 5>president canceling their RAN strikes. But I want to I

251
00:14:36.159 --> 00:14:38.480
<v Speaker 5>want to ask you a couple more questions about the brain,

252
00:14:39.039 --> 00:14:43.600
<v Speaker 5>especially the robotic autonomous force that we have just heard

253
00:14:43.639 --> 00:14:47.039
<v Speaker 5>about being used. We'll be right back with l Todd Wood,

254

<v Speaker 5>CEO of cd impress.

255
00:14:56.120 --> 00:14:58.200
<v Speaker 6>Take a look at the water you just poured. It

256
00:14:58.279 --> 00:15:04.120
<v Speaker 6>looks clean, it tastes, but what's really in it? Lead fluoride,

257
00:15:04.399 --> 00:15:11.799
<v Speaker 6>arsenic chlorine, pesticides pfas, forever chemicals, pharmaceutical residues, and bacteria.

270
00:16:06.600 --> 00:16:10.080
<v Speaker 7>President Trump is pausing massive strikes against Iran, at least

271
00:16:10.120 --> 00:16:12.679
<v Speaker 7>for now, but the President cautions all this depends on

272
00:16:12.720 --> 00:16:15.360
<v Speaker 7>how quickly a deal can be reached. ABC's Matt Rivers

273
00:16:15.399 --> 00:16:16.600
<v Speaker 7>reports from Jordan Tonight.

274
00:16:18.639 --> 00:16:22.080
<v Speaker 8>Tonight, President Trump backing away from the brink, calling off

275
00:16:22.120 --> 00:16:26.240
<v Speaker 8>planned massive strikes on Iran overnight Saturday, posting on social

276
00:16:26.279 --> 00:16:29.279
<v Speaker 8>media saying he canceled the attack subject to being able

277
00:16:29.320 --> 00:16:32.519
<v Speaker 8>to rapidly make a deal, adding the perimeters of a

278
00:16:32.600 --> 00:16:37.480
<v Speaker 8>deal had been agreed to, a far different tone from Friday.

279
00:16:37.240 --> 00:16:39.879
<v Speaker 2>Put me hitting him very hard. You know, at some

280
00:16:39.919 --> 00:16:42.159
<v Speaker 2>point they're going to say, we just can't take it anymore.

281
00:16:42.240 --> 00:16:45.120
<v Speaker 8>But Trump saying that Iran and regional US allies alike

282
00:16:45.200 --> 00:16:48.240
<v Speaker 8>had since asked him to hold off, claiming any deal

283
00:16:48.440 --> 00:16:51.240
<v Speaker 8>would include reopening the Strait of horm Moves and address

284
00:16:51.440 --> 00:16:54.759
<v Speaker 8>Iran's nuclear threat, but nearly twenty four hours later, no

285
00:16:54.840 --> 00:16:59.200
<v Speaker 8>formal response yet from Iran's government, an Iranian state run

286
00:16:59.240 --> 00:17:02.039
<v Speaker 8>media saying no such deal to reopen the strait had

287
00:17:02.080 --> 00:17:07.119
<v Speaker 8>been reached. It remains effectively closed. Prior to Trump's announcement,

288
00:17:07.160 --> 00:17:10.559
<v Speaker 8>Iranian media said the Foreign Minister had warned regional countries

289
00:17:10.599 --> 00:17:13.599
<v Speaker 8>of harsh retaliation should the US follow through on its

290
00:17:13.640 --> 00:17:18.200
<v Speaker 8>threat to target Iranian energy facilities after state run oil

291
00:17:18.240 --> 00:17:21.000
<v Speaker 8>facilities were targeted in a drone attack earlier this week.

292
00:17:22.240 --> 00:17:25.920
<v Speaker 8>The renewed Iranian threat sparked Saudi Arabia's leadership to publicly

293
00:17:26.079 --> 00:17:28.559
<v Speaker 8>urge the White House to de escalate after Crown Prince

294
00:17:28.599 --> 00:17:33.200
<v Speaker 8>Mohammed bin Salman spoke to President Trump. Those fears include

295
00:17:33.240 --> 00:17:35.319
<v Speaker 8>not just a wider war in the Middle East, but

296
00:17:35.440 --> 00:17:39.000
<v Speaker 8>increasing signs that the conflict between Ukraine and Russia is

297
00:17:39.000 --> 00:17:42.559
<v Speaker 8>starting to overlap with the Iran conflict. Last week Ukraine

298
00:17:42.599 --> 00:17:45.559
<v Speaker 8>attacking an Iranian cargo ship in the Caspian Sea it

299
00:17:45.680 --> 00:17:49.079
<v Speaker 8>said was carrying military supplies. Lindsay many here in this

300
00:17:49.119 --> 00:17:51.200
<v Speaker 8>part of the world assumed that they would spend today

301
00:17:51.240 --> 00:17:53.799
<v Speaker 8>taking cover from new rounds of missiles being fired.

302
00:17:54.039 --> 00:17:55.839
<v Speaker 5>That didn't happen, but it's still not.

303
00:17:55.920 --> 00:17:58.599
<v Speaker 8>At all clear that an actual deal between the two

304
00:17:58.680 --> 00:18:00.000
<v Speaker 8>sides is within reas.

305
00:18:01.079 --> 00:18:03.640
<v Speaker 5>Welcome back to the Robina Show. It's more War Monday,

306
00:18:04.440 --> 00:18:09.079
<v Speaker 5>August third, and that video was from August second. Just

307
00:18:09.119 --> 00:18:11.400
<v Speaker 5>so you know, my guest today is el Todd Wood,

308
00:18:11.839 --> 00:18:15.759
<v Speaker 5>the CEO of CDIUM Press, just back from Lebanon, so

309
00:18:15.799 --> 00:18:18.160
<v Speaker 5>we'll hear from him on that specific issue in the

310
00:18:18.200 --> 00:18:22.240
<v Speaker 5>next segment. But Todd, what are your thoughts on the

311
00:18:22.279 --> 00:18:26.759
<v Speaker 5>President canceling the strikes again? This is the second time.

312
00:18:26.799 --> 00:18:27.400
<v Speaker 5>I think.

313
00:18:30.039 --> 00:18:34.839
<v Speaker 2>We don't have the land or ground forces to conquer

314
00:18:34.920 --> 00:18:38.680
<v Speaker 2>Iran in the ground war. We just don't. I think

315
00:18:38.759 --> 00:18:40.920
<v Speaker 2>we have to move to some kind of containment into

316
00:18:40.920 --> 00:18:43.880
<v Speaker 2>phase two of this. We've heavily damaged them. Let's declare

317
00:18:43.960 --> 00:18:48.200
<v Speaker 2>victory blockade the straight If you need to have escorts

318
00:18:48.200 --> 00:18:50.640
<v Speaker 2>for ships if you need to keep it open, keep

319
00:18:50.640 --> 00:18:54.200
<v Speaker 2>the oil flowing, build the pipelines across the desert, make

320
00:18:54.240 --> 00:18:57.039
<v Speaker 2>it less of a threat as far as cutting off

321
00:18:57.039 --> 00:19:00.400
<v Speaker 2>the oil and contain them. We contained the you know,

322
00:19:00.400 --> 00:19:03.119
<v Speaker 2>the Russians for fifty years or long eighty years, whatever

323
00:19:03.160 --> 00:19:06.279
<v Speaker 2>it was, you know, the Soviet Union. So I think

324
00:19:06.279 --> 00:19:08.000
<v Speaker 2>we need to move to something like that. We're not

325
00:19:08.119 --> 00:19:10.960
<v Speaker 2>going to get a victory in the absolute sense here

326
00:19:11.039 --> 00:19:17.440
<v Speaker 2>because you know, it's a very disorganized, decentralized government. And

327
00:19:18.079 --> 00:19:19.960
<v Speaker 2>my sense is we need to support, as you and

328
00:19:19.960 --> 00:19:23.480
<v Speaker 2>I've talked to many times, support the people on the

329
00:19:23.480 --> 00:19:25.839
<v Speaker 2>ground that can actually make change in Iran. And we

330
00:19:25.880 --> 00:19:29.079
<v Speaker 2>know who they are, and let's let's just create the

331
00:19:29.079 --> 00:19:31.079
<v Speaker 2>conditions for them to be successful.

332
00:19:31.079 --> 00:19:31.160
<v Speaker 9>That.

333
00:19:31.759 --> 00:19:33.359
<v Speaker 2>I think that's all we can do at this point.

334
00:19:33.400 --> 00:19:36.119
<v Speaker 2>We can't have an absolute surrender. It's not going to happen,

335
00:19:36.400 --> 00:19:36.960
<v Speaker 2>in my view.

336
00:19:37.960 --> 00:19:39.599
<v Speaker 5>I don't think that. I think that's why it was

337
00:19:39.640 --> 00:19:41.920
<v Speaker 5>never one of the objectives as far as I know.

338
00:19:42.079 --> 00:19:44.079
<v Speaker 5>I mean, it'd be nice to have you and I've

339
00:19:44.079 --> 00:19:48.759
<v Speaker 5>talked about that. It'd be nice to have has there

340
00:19:48.839 --> 00:19:51.599
<v Speaker 5>have you heard about any Let me let me pause

341
00:19:51.680 --> 00:19:53.839
<v Speaker 5>right there on the Iran think because I screwed up again,

342
00:19:53.920 --> 00:19:55.839
<v Speaker 5>and I wanted to ask you about this report that

343
00:19:55.880 --> 00:19:57.640
<v Speaker 5>I saw, but I couldn't confirm it, so I didn't

344
00:19:57.680 --> 00:20:01.559
<v Speaker 5>use the video. I saw a video report of Ukrainian

345
00:20:01.640 --> 00:20:08.480
<v Speaker 5>combat operation using a combination of robotic and autonomous surface vessels,

346
00:20:08.519 --> 00:20:12.960
<v Speaker 5>subsurface vessels, air drones, that kind of thing, uh, and

347
00:20:13.000 --> 00:20:16.279
<v Speaker 5>then this new one that was added to it, ground

348
00:20:16.440 --> 00:20:20.920
<v Speaker 5>combat robots uh. And the reporting that I saw so

349
00:20:20.960 --> 00:20:25.000
<v Speaker 5>that it was uh, they were networked together and the

350
00:20:25.160 --> 00:20:28.720
<v Speaker 5>combat operation that they were involved in was successful from

351
00:20:28.839 --> 00:20:33.039
<v Speaker 5>Ukraine's perspective. I couldn't verify anything, so I didn't use

352
00:20:33.079 --> 00:20:36.279
<v Speaker 5>the video. But have you heard about that reporting? And

353
00:20:36.319 --> 00:20:38.920
<v Speaker 5>have you been Your team's pretty good at doing verification

354
00:20:39.000 --> 00:20:40.759
<v Speaker 5>on things, have you guys?

355
00:20:40.759 --> 00:20:43.599
<v Speaker 2>Well, what I'll say is they are definitely testing and

356
00:20:43.640 --> 00:20:47.119
<v Speaker 2>fielding all that stuff and building that capability. I don't

357
00:20:47.119 --> 00:20:49.319
<v Speaker 2>know the specific instance you're talking about, I didn't see that,

358
00:20:49.359 --> 00:20:54.680
<v Speaker 2>but that's they are. That is definitely happening, And to me,

359
00:20:54.759 --> 00:20:57.079
<v Speaker 2>that's a big concern because in my view, you've got

360
00:20:57.119 --> 00:21:01.920
<v Speaker 2>a very dark regime. I mean, he's not an elected president,

361
00:21:01.960 --> 00:21:05.319
<v Speaker 2>he has no legal mandate. He's destroying the Christian Church

362
00:21:05.960 --> 00:21:08.880
<v Speaker 2>he's you know, depopulating the country. He's doing whatever the

363
00:21:09.000 --> 00:21:13.039
<v Speaker 2>globalists tell him to do. And to give him some

364
00:21:13.119 --> 00:21:17.720
<v Speaker 2>kind of AI autonomous robot army that is effective to

365
00:21:17.839 --> 00:21:20.920
<v Speaker 2>me is insane. And also, while we're at it, I

366
00:21:20.960 --> 00:21:24.559
<v Speaker 2>don't think any licensing of US technology to Ukraine is

367
00:21:24.599 --> 00:21:27.039
<v Speaker 2>a good idea either, because you know, they could flip that,

368
00:21:27.079 --> 00:21:30.079
<v Speaker 2>as trum Trump said, you flip that back on you.

369
00:21:30.079 --> 00:21:32.519
<v Speaker 2>You know, what is the purpose of that. I mean,

370
00:21:32.920 --> 00:21:35.119
<v Speaker 2>let's just back out of that. If Europe wants to

371
00:21:35.119 --> 00:21:37.759
<v Speaker 2>continue it, let it have it. And if they want

372
00:21:37.799 --> 00:21:40.279
<v Speaker 2>to deal with the consequences of that war, let them

373
00:21:40.279 --> 00:21:41.880
<v Speaker 2>have it. But We're not going to come save you

374
00:21:41.920 --> 00:21:44.960
<v Speaker 2>again for the third time because of your stupidity and

375
00:21:45.039 --> 00:21:48.319
<v Speaker 2>whatever this is, whatever agenda, whatever dark agenda this is,

376
00:21:48.359 --> 00:21:49.559
<v Speaker 2>it's not good for humanity.

377
00:21:50.319 --> 00:21:52.759
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, I'm glad you brought up the licensing thing. I

378
00:21:52.759 --> 00:21:54.519
<v Speaker 5>thought I heard the President say we were going to

379
00:21:54.599 --> 00:21:57.960
<v Speaker 5>license them to produce Patriot missiles that accuracy.

380
00:21:57.519 --> 00:22:00.200
<v Speaker 2>He said that. I think, Look, there's a lot and

381
00:22:00.519 --> 00:22:02.799
<v Speaker 2>I talked with someone inside as well, there's a lot

382
00:22:02.799 --> 00:22:05.519
<v Speaker 2>of don't believe everything you hear. There's a lot of

383
00:22:05.640 --> 00:22:08.319
<v Speaker 2>jocking for position, and he may have said that. Then

384
00:22:08.359 --> 00:22:10.559
<v Speaker 2>he said, well, there's a problem with giving people weapons

385
00:22:11.000 --> 00:22:12.720
<v Speaker 2>they could use him back on you. He's kind of

386
00:22:12.759 --> 00:22:16.039
<v Speaker 2>being very strategic ambiguity there as well. I think he

387
00:22:16.119 --> 00:22:18.839
<v Speaker 2>may have said we'll think about it, and Zelenski said

388
00:22:18.880 --> 00:22:20.160
<v Speaker 2>came out and said, yeah, we're going to do it.

389
00:22:20.160 --> 00:22:22.160
<v Speaker 2>You know. So I don't think it's a done deal.

390
00:22:22.480 --> 00:22:24.720
<v Speaker 2>I have heard from my sources that Boeing said no,

391
00:22:25.680 --> 00:22:27.440
<v Speaker 2>so we'll see.

392
00:22:28.119 --> 00:22:30.200
<v Speaker 5>Yeah. I mean he's doing a similar thing with the

393
00:22:30.240 --> 00:22:35.759
<v Speaker 5>Turks and the F thirty five. You know, he folks,

394
00:22:35.759 --> 00:22:39.119
<v Speaker 5>this is the PT Barnum of presidencies. That's who this

395
00:22:39.200 --> 00:22:42.240
<v Speaker 5>man is. He's better than Pt. Barn So he will

396
00:22:42.440 --> 00:22:44.039
<v Speaker 5>like he made a sales pitch, Hey, we're going to

397
00:22:44.079 --> 00:22:46.079
<v Speaker 5>give him the F thirty five because they've done good.

398
00:22:46.480 --> 00:22:49.400
<v Speaker 5>And then I saw a follow up report almost immediately

399
00:22:49.480 --> 00:22:51.440
<v Speaker 5>he said, yep, and they've got to do these things

400
00:22:51.519 --> 00:22:53.119
<v Speaker 5>and get rid of the S three hundred and four

401
00:22:53.200 --> 00:22:57.000
<v Speaker 5>hundred and not allow any Russian advisors on their soil,

402
00:22:57.400 --> 00:22:59.240
<v Speaker 5>which are the things that I talked about when I

403
00:22:59.240 --> 00:23:03.119
<v Speaker 5>first heard report on this show and everything. So, I mean,

404
00:23:03.119 --> 00:23:05.119
<v Speaker 5>that's just the way the president is getting back to

405
00:23:05.160 --> 00:23:11.119
<v Speaker 5>the Iran war. Look, I mean regardless, Fortunately, we've never

406
00:23:11.160 --> 00:23:14.920
<v Speaker 5>set a goal of getting the Iranians to capitulate. The

407
00:23:15.000 --> 00:23:17.039
<v Speaker 5>only way to stop this, I have said it many

408
00:23:17.039 --> 00:23:20.799
<v Speaker 5>times is the IRGC has to has to capitulate one

409
00:23:20.799 --> 00:23:23.960
<v Speaker 5>way or another. And the only way for us to

410
00:23:24.000 --> 00:23:26.880
<v Speaker 5>achieve our strategy, our ultimate strategic goal, which is to

411
00:23:26.920 --> 00:23:30.640
<v Speaker 5>get the uranium, the enriched uranium and the capability to

412
00:23:30.759 --> 00:23:34.400
<v Speaker 5>enrich it out of their hands so they can't develop

413
00:23:34.559 --> 00:23:37.039
<v Speaker 5>or get a nuclear weapon, is for us to be

414
00:23:37.079 --> 00:23:39.440
<v Speaker 5>able to go in and get it and get them

415
00:23:39.480 --> 00:23:42.160
<v Speaker 5>to agree to do that. I mean, that's the only way.

416
00:23:42.200 --> 00:23:46.559
<v Speaker 5>I mean, I think for a ground invasion of that country,

417
00:23:46.559 --> 00:23:49.559
<v Speaker 5>it would take a million trigger pullers plus support. So

418
00:23:49.559 --> 00:23:51.480
<v Speaker 5>you're talking about a couple of million people.

419
00:23:51.920 --> 00:23:56.359
<v Speaker 2>Exactly car Island. Even if you put them on carg Island,

420
00:23:56.400 --> 00:23:59.079
<v Speaker 2>you're going to need more than just that, because you're

421
00:23:59.079 --> 00:24:02.400
<v Speaker 2>going to have that whole is a nest of vipers

422
00:24:02.400 --> 00:24:04.000
<v Speaker 2>that you're going to have to deal with, and so

423
00:24:04.200 --> 00:24:07.319
<v Speaker 2>they would just be shooting targets. So you've got to

424
00:24:07.359 --> 00:24:10.400
<v Speaker 2>really that's got to be thought through, and I hope

425
00:24:10.440 --> 00:24:14.440
<v Speaker 2>that doesn't happen. My vote is for containment and to

426
00:24:14.440 --> 00:24:16.920
<v Speaker 2>find a way to declare victory and let's focus on

427
00:24:17.359 --> 00:24:18.839
<v Speaker 2>the election and everything else.

428
00:24:19.079 --> 00:24:21.119
<v Speaker 5>Well, yeah, let's talk about that. What would that look like.

429
00:24:21.480 --> 00:24:25.240
<v Speaker 5>I mean, we contained Hussain, so I'm Hussein with the

430
00:24:25.279 --> 00:24:29.000
<v Speaker 5>northern and southern no fly zone, so they couldn't attack

431
00:24:29.039 --> 00:24:32.119
<v Speaker 5>the Kurds in the north and the Kuwaitis and the

432
00:24:32.160 --> 00:24:37.119
<v Speaker 5>folks in the Marshes south by air or ground. We

433
00:24:37.680 --> 00:24:40.079
<v Speaker 5>flop them on the ground using our aircraft and those

434
00:24:40.160 --> 00:24:43.559
<v Speaker 5>kind of things. Why not put just establish a no

435
00:24:43.680 --> 00:24:45.920
<v Speaker 5>fly zone over the entire country.

436
00:24:47.279 --> 00:24:49.920
<v Speaker 2>Well, that's an option. Or you know, the Israelis have

437
00:24:49.960 --> 00:24:52.519
<v Speaker 2>been very effective over the decades of taking out any

438
00:24:52.640 --> 00:24:54.680
<v Speaker 2>arms coming into the country. You know, we could target

439
00:24:54.759 --> 00:24:58.799
<v Speaker 2>Chinese shipments coming in or Russian shipments or whatever. I mean,

440
00:24:58.839 --> 00:25:02.359
<v Speaker 2>you could keep the country degrad did militarily without you know,

441
00:25:02.720 --> 00:25:05.759
<v Speaker 2>the deaths of thousands of Americans on the ground and

442
00:25:06.119 --> 00:25:09.519
<v Speaker 2>the loss of much more treasure than we have to spend.

443
00:25:10.119 --> 00:25:13.960
<v Speaker 2>So that's my vote for containment. And you know, I

444
00:25:14.039 --> 00:25:16.440
<v Speaker 2>just think we're at that point. We need to we

445
00:25:16.480 --> 00:25:18.400
<v Speaker 2>need to look at the election. We need to look

446
00:25:18.440 --> 00:25:22.799
<v Speaker 2>at rebuilding our stores, our stockpiles, our capabilities, which I

447
00:25:22.799 --> 00:25:27.039
<v Speaker 2>know the Department of wars focused one thousand percent on. Yeah,

448
00:25:27.759 --> 00:25:31.720
<v Speaker 2>so that's that's happening. And uh, you know, let's let's

449
00:25:31.720 --> 00:25:34.599
<v Speaker 2>get our house in order and and be able to

450
00:25:34.599 --> 00:25:36.160
<v Speaker 2>deal with other things that may come down the road.

451
00:25:36.160 --> 00:25:37.519
<v Speaker 2>You know, you and I are old enough to remember

452
00:25:37.559 --> 00:25:39.720
<v Speaker 2>and we could, we could. We're ready to fight two

453
00:25:39.759 --> 00:25:42.519
<v Speaker 2>wars at once. We're not that ware anymore, you know.

454
00:25:42.559 --> 00:25:43.480
<v Speaker 2>We need to get back to that.

455
00:25:44.839 --> 00:25:46.480
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, we do need to get back to That's why

456
00:25:46.519 --> 00:25:49.880
<v Speaker 5>the Secretary is asking for another half a trillion dollars

457
00:25:49.960 --> 00:25:53.759
<v Speaker 5>to go along with the last year's defense budget. As

458
00:25:53.839 --> 00:25:58.200
<v Speaker 5>much as I'm not a fan of increasing the defense budget,

459
00:25:58.240 --> 00:26:01.079
<v Speaker 5>I'm more for cutting and make them, make them, make them,

460
00:26:01.079 --> 00:26:04.640
<v Speaker 5>make it work. But we're we're not where we need

461
00:26:04.680 --> 00:26:08.000
<v Speaker 5>to be in order to start doing that because we've

462
00:26:08.039 --> 00:26:09.559
<v Speaker 5>let it go so long, right.

463
00:26:09.519 --> 00:26:12.000
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, and we're using all these you know, and this

464
00:26:12.039 --> 00:26:14.359
<v Speaker 2>is changing too, but all these you know, high dollar

465
00:26:14.440 --> 00:26:17.680
<v Speaker 2>prime contractors that you know, I saw something today, you know,

466
00:26:17.799 --> 00:26:19.680
<v Speaker 2>three billion over budget. I think it was the B

467
00:26:19.799 --> 00:26:23.920
<v Speaker 2>fifty two program. You know, that doesn't need to happen anymore.

468
00:26:23.920 --> 00:26:26.839
<v Speaker 2>We have smart contractors now that can build things cheaply

469
00:26:27.279 --> 00:26:30.079
<v Speaker 2>in scale. That is happening I know that's happening.

470
00:26:30.119 --> 00:26:33.640
<v Speaker 5>So Andryl said they were going to produce seven thousand

471
00:26:34.160 --> 00:26:37.319
<v Speaker 5>low cost cruise missiles in their first year of production. Yeah,

472
00:26:37.359 --> 00:26:41.279
<v Speaker 5>next time, even thousand. We can't produce over nine hundred

473
00:26:41.319 --> 00:26:43.240
<v Speaker 5>of regular cruise missiles.

474
00:26:44.279 --> 00:26:46.319
<v Speaker 2>And looks what U CAN and Russia are doing. They're

475
00:26:46.359 --> 00:26:48.400
<v Speaker 2>they're all being six hundred to night at each other

476
00:26:49.200 --> 00:26:52.440
<v Speaker 2>different projectiles. So it's it's a numbers game, right, Yeah,

477
00:26:52.799 --> 00:26:55.480
<v Speaker 2>we ken be spending millions of dollars on each one.

478
00:26:55.720 --> 00:26:56.839
<v Speaker 2>Just can't can't happy?

479
00:26:57.480 --> 00:26:59.680
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, exactly. Well, we've got a question in the audience.

480
00:26:59.759 --> 00:27:01.880
<v Speaker 5>Let's go ahead and take that sift. This technology will

481
00:27:01.920 --> 00:27:06.039
<v Speaker 5>work this time. Go ahead, Yo, we have pat the

482
00:27:06.079 --> 00:27:08.680
<v Speaker 5>hammer there. Make it real quick.

483
00:27:08.759 --> 00:27:11.000
<v Speaker 10>I just wanted to ask you both, do you knowing

484
00:27:11.039 --> 00:27:13.000
<v Speaker 10>that Trump's kind of an all or nothing kind of guy,

485
00:27:13.039 --> 00:27:14.920
<v Speaker 10>at least he kind of comes across that way to me,

486
00:27:15.359 --> 00:27:17.640
<v Speaker 10>do you think he would accept a twenty or thirty

487
00:27:17.720 --> 00:27:21.640
<v Speaker 10>year complete cease on their nuclear program. I think it's

488
00:27:21.680 --> 00:27:23.799
<v Speaker 10>good enough for containment. I agree with you. I just

489
00:27:23.880 --> 00:27:24.920
<v Speaker 10>want to know what you guys thought.

490
00:27:26.480 --> 00:27:28.960
<v Speaker 2>I think you would. What do you think Rob? I

491
00:27:29.000 --> 00:27:29.720
<v Speaker 2>think you would?

492
00:27:32.319 --> 00:27:35.200
<v Speaker 5>I don't know, I don't know, he's been really adamant,

493
00:27:35.240 --> 00:27:37.920
<v Speaker 5>and it's part of the goals to remove the enricheranium

494
00:27:39.240 --> 00:27:42.359
<v Speaker 5>and the capability to enrich from them so they can

495
00:27:42.400 --> 00:27:46.359
<v Speaker 5>never get a nuclear weapon. That's probably in my mind,

496
00:27:47.519 --> 00:27:49.759
<v Speaker 5>he will probably make that a red line. That has

497
00:27:49.799 --> 00:27:52.160
<v Speaker 5>to be the red line because it's the most dangerous.

498
00:27:52.160 --> 00:27:54.279
<v Speaker 5>It's the reason why we're there. The rest of it,

499
00:27:54.480 --> 00:27:58.119
<v Speaker 5>they really can't threaten us, and we don't really we

500
00:27:58.119 --> 00:27:59.799
<v Speaker 5>don't get any oil out of the straight or horror

501
00:27:59.799 --> 00:28:02.480
<v Speaker 5>movies anymore like we did in the eighties. Uh and

502
00:28:02.519 --> 00:28:06.799
<v Speaker 5>those kind of things. Uh and uh. Now the Allies

503
00:28:06.839 --> 00:28:09.000
<v Speaker 5>are starting to build more pipelines so they don't have

504
00:28:09.079 --> 00:28:12.319
<v Speaker 5>to use the uh the what do they call it,

505
00:28:12.359 --> 00:28:16.640
<v Speaker 5>the Arabian Golf now, the Persian Golf, the Persian Gulf

506
00:28:17.200 --> 00:28:20.599
<v Speaker 5>to get oil out for the Allies. Uh and those

507
00:28:20.680 --> 00:28:23.119
<v Speaker 5>kind of things. So you know, I mean, I think

508
00:28:23.119 --> 00:28:26.039
<v Speaker 5>you could let all that stuff go and with a blockade,

509
00:28:26.599 --> 00:28:31.599
<v Speaker 5>uh and uh, you know, air containment, we could keep them,

510
00:28:31.839 --> 00:28:35.920
<v Speaker 5>you know, suppressed obviously, and they couldn't threaten their neighbors

511
00:28:36.000 --> 00:28:39.759
<v Speaker 5>other than just harassment type fires. Same thing with shipping.

512
00:28:39.960 --> 00:28:42.119
<v Speaker 5>That's all they're doing now. It's just harassment type stuff.

513
00:28:42.359 --> 00:28:44.480
<v Speaker 5>This whole thing about the straight up of horror moves

514
00:28:44.480 --> 00:28:48.960
<v Speaker 5>being closed is yes, it's not true. Uh, it's never

515
00:28:49.000 --> 00:28:50.960
<v Speaker 5>been true. They don't have the capability, didn't have the

516
00:28:50.960 --> 00:28:53.720
<v Speaker 5>capability before, and they definitely don't have the capability now

517
00:28:54.240 --> 00:28:57.119
<v Speaker 5>uh to close the straight up hor moves. But they

518
00:28:57.160 --> 00:29:00.599
<v Speaker 5>can do harassing fire. And I think the I would

519
00:29:00.640 --> 00:29:03.119
<v Speaker 5>like to see before he pulls the plug on it

520
00:29:04.279 --> 00:29:09.119
<v Speaker 5>and we fall back to something like full blockades, you know,

521
00:29:09.160 --> 00:29:13.240
<v Speaker 5>on an air containment type thing. I would like to

522
00:29:13.279 --> 00:29:17.000
<v Speaker 5>see him fulfill the entire ato, the whole target list

523
00:29:17.720 --> 00:29:20.039
<v Speaker 5>at least once. And we've got done that still a

524
00:29:20.039 --> 00:29:24.880
<v Speaker 5>little about twenty percent left. That's all the strategic bridges,

525
00:29:25.119 --> 00:29:29.279
<v Speaker 5>the big power plants, all of that has to be

526
00:29:30.279 --> 00:29:32.640
<v Speaker 5>destroyed at least once. So they have to get to

527
00:29:32.680 --> 00:29:36.119
<v Speaker 5>work to rebuild the stuff and those kind of things

528
00:29:36.119 --> 00:29:40.440
<v Speaker 5>to keep them busy. But in the meantime, a blockade

529
00:29:40.839 --> 00:29:45.599
<v Speaker 5>and keeping the bridges around the perimeter, cut, blocking the

530
00:29:45.640 --> 00:29:50.519
<v Speaker 5>Caspian seaport, those kinds of things so that they can't

531
00:29:50.559 --> 00:29:54.920
<v Speaker 5>be resupplied with military stuff. I think that's doable. Now,

532
00:29:55.880 --> 00:29:58.680
<v Speaker 5>is it politically due that's another big question. It would

533
00:29:58.680 --> 00:30:02.240
<v Speaker 5>be if he gets the new material. Yeah, if he

534
00:30:02.279 --> 00:30:04.720
<v Speaker 5>gets it, they would be politically doable in the short show,

535
00:30:04.880 --> 00:30:08.160
<v Speaker 5>let's put it that way. Short term being a few years. Yeah,

536
00:30:09.400 --> 00:30:11.799
<v Speaker 5>so you know, you know, give the Allies a chance

537
00:30:11.839 --> 00:30:16.200
<v Speaker 5>to do what they need to do to make themselves comfortable. Well,

538
00:30:16.200 --> 00:30:18.359
<v Speaker 5>we completely pull out, because there's a lot of us

539
00:30:18.359 --> 00:30:20.559
<v Speaker 5>that have been calling for a pull out of the

540
00:30:20.559 --> 00:30:23.000
<v Speaker 5>Middle East for quite some time now. The only things

541
00:30:23.000 --> 00:30:24.119
<v Speaker 5>stopping us right now is yeah, I.

542
00:30:24.119 --> 00:30:26.880
<v Speaker 2>Ran more to be honestly, Yeah, that's true.

543
00:30:27.960 --> 00:30:30.359
<v Speaker 5>We'll get to take another break when we come back.

544
00:30:30.880 --> 00:30:35.440
<v Speaker 5>We'll talk about the Lebanon and Todd's been there on

545
00:30:35.480 --> 00:30:37.039
<v Speaker 5>a trip, so we'll be right back with Todd.

546
00:30:37.039 --> 00:30:47.640
<v Speaker 11>Would at a certain age you stop chasing younger, you

547

562
00:31:52.319 --> 00:31:55.160
<v Speaker 3>The Israeli military has said thoughts it askills several has

563
00:31:55.160 --> 00:31:58.200
<v Speaker 3>full of fighters in southern Lebanon and that in Israeli

564
00:31:58.240 --> 00:32:01.359
<v Speaker 3>soldier was angeled there despite sees fire being in place,

565
00:32:01.920 --> 00:32:04.599
<v Speaker 3>But in a statement, the military said that it identified

566
00:32:04.599 --> 00:32:08.680
<v Speaker 3>as Bulla fighters inside what Israel describes as a security

567
00:32:08.799 --> 00:32:12.160
<v Speaker 3>zone and carried out strikes to quote and court remove

568
00:32:12.240 --> 00:32:15.720
<v Speaker 3>the threat. The statement ad that the Israeli forces will

569
00:32:15.759 --> 00:32:19.279
<v Speaker 3>continue to operate to remove any threat to its soldiers

570
00:32:19.319 --> 00:32:23.119
<v Speaker 3>and it will not allow thee Az Bulla to Israeli civilians.

571
00:32:24.200 --> 00:32:26.880
<v Speaker 3>This comes at a time when United Nations has expressed

572
00:32:26.880 --> 00:32:29.960
<v Speaker 3>concerns over Israeli actions. The Office of the U and

573
00:32:30.000 --> 00:32:32.960
<v Speaker 3>Special coordinator for Lebanon said that the scale of the

574
00:32:33.000 --> 00:32:37.359
<v Speaker 3>detonations and demolitions taking place is deeply concerning, with the

575
00:32:37.400 --> 00:32:42.319
<v Speaker 3>devastating impact on civilian infrastructure, cultural heritage and the collective

576
00:32:42.359 --> 00:32:47.079
<v Speaker 3>memory of communities. This after the Israeli military carried out

577
00:32:47.160 --> 00:32:51.680
<v Speaker 3>large detonations near a UNESCO listed castle in Lebanon. Israeli

578
00:32:51.720 --> 00:32:56.000
<v Speaker 3>Prime Minister Mentorman Nathan Yahu's and Defense Secretary Israelcats said

579
00:32:56.079 --> 00:32:59.640
<v Speaker 3>that the army destroyed terro tunnels in the Beaufort area

580
00:32:59.720 --> 00:33:04.599
<v Speaker 3>using approximately seven hundred towns of explosives. Be Fordcastle was

581
00:33:04.640 --> 00:33:07.240
<v Speaker 3>added last week to your ESCO's list of World Heritage

582
00:33:07.359 --> 00:33:12.079
<v Speaker 3>in Danger. A US sponsor framework agreement signed by Lebanon

583
00:33:12.160 --> 00:33:15.279
<v Speaker 3>and Israel in late June. It aims to end hostilities,

584
00:33:15.359 --> 00:33:18.720
<v Speaker 3>with Lebanon's army to disarm Hiss Fuller and the Israeli

585
00:33:18.759 --> 00:33:22.640
<v Speaker 3>military to withdraw from pilot zones inside Lebanon. Whe Lebanese

586
00:33:22.640 --> 00:33:27.640
<v Speaker 3>forces were subsequently deployed, as well as repeatedly rejected the

587
00:33:27.720 --> 00:33:31.240
<v Speaker 3>deal and refuses to disarm, while there is no timetable

588
00:33:31.359 --> 00:33:32.799
<v Speaker 3>for Israel's full withdrawal.

00:33:53.720 --> 00:33:57.000
<v Speaker 5>parts of the world most Americans wouldn't go right now,

594
00:33:57.319 --> 00:34:00.759
<v Speaker 5>and you just spent some time in Lebanon. Tell us

595
00:34:00.799 --> 00:34:03.200
<v Speaker 5>about your trip first before we dive into the clip

596
00:34:03.240 --> 00:34:04.599
<v Speaker 5>about the recent going on.

597
00:34:05.400 --> 00:34:10.000
<v Speaker 2>Sure, we are working closely with the Christian population in Lebanon,

598
00:34:10.280 --> 00:34:13.719
<v Speaker 2>the Christian sector, which is in my view, very important too,

599
00:34:14.880 --> 00:34:18.320
<v Speaker 2>and we started this just to kind of be their

600
00:34:18.360 --> 00:34:22.559
<v Speaker 2>bully pulpit to talk about their issues because nobody really

601
00:34:22.679 --> 00:34:25.239
<v Speaker 2>is and the US has been a little bit nefarious

602
00:34:25.239 --> 00:34:27.440
<v Speaker 2>towards them over the last few decades too, because they've

603
00:34:27.440 --> 00:34:30.320
<v Speaker 2>been used as buffer zones or whatever, and nobody's really

604
00:34:30.320 --> 00:34:33.239
<v Speaker 2>looking out for their interests. And so that's what we're doing.

605
00:34:33.280 --> 00:34:36.199
<v Speaker 2>We're opening a media opening a media company over there.

606
00:34:36.440 --> 00:34:39.440
<v Speaker 2>We're going to have a new online entity, mainly for

607
00:34:39.480 --> 00:34:42.920
<v Speaker 2>the Lebanese diaspora because there's fifteen million of them and

608
00:34:42.960 --> 00:34:45.920
<v Speaker 2>weirdly enough, they can all vote in the Lebanese in

609
00:34:46.000 --> 00:34:51.280
<v Speaker 2>Lebanese politics, So it's a huge, huge, huge thing. And

610
00:34:51.360 --> 00:34:53.280
<v Speaker 2>so that's what we're working on. That's why I was there,

611
00:34:53.360 --> 00:34:56.519
<v Speaker 2>in addition to meeting a lot of people and sources

612
00:34:56.559 --> 00:35:00.679
<v Speaker 2>and all of that. And so my main goal over

613
00:35:00.679 --> 00:35:04.239
<v Speaker 2>there is to, i guess, be a mouthpiece for that population,

614
00:35:04.880 --> 00:35:06.800
<v Speaker 2>not in a you know, foreign agent kind of way,

615
00:35:06.840 --> 00:35:08.920
<v Speaker 2>but just as a good reporting kind of way. Just

616
00:35:08.960 --> 00:35:11.079
<v Speaker 2>be there and and talk about what's going on in

617
00:35:11.079 --> 00:35:13.800
<v Speaker 2>the ground on those with that community and the issues

618
00:35:13.840 --> 00:35:18.360
<v Speaker 2>around it. Hesbela to the south is very ensconced and

619
00:35:18.559 --> 00:35:21.599
<v Speaker 2>you know, people need we also need to understand the history, right,

620
00:35:21.679 --> 00:35:25.159
<v Speaker 2>history is important and lean Lebanon has always been a

621
00:35:25.199 --> 00:35:28.360
<v Speaker 2>refuge for minority communities and that's why the Christians came

622
00:35:28.400 --> 00:35:31.159
<v Speaker 2>there in the mountains Mount Lebanon to get away from

623
00:35:31.800 --> 00:35:35.360
<v Speaker 2>the you know, invading Arab armies and then the Ottomans

624
00:35:35.400 --> 00:35:37.599
<v Speaker 2>and all that, and it was kind of a but

625
00:35:37.679 --> 00:35:40.599
<v Speaker 2>the Shia Muslims also came in there, and so you

626
00:35:40.679 --> 00:35:45.400
<v Speaker 2>have that sector, but you also have the Hesbelah element,

627
00:35:45.480 --> 00:35:48.920
<v Speaker 2>which is you know, an Iranian proxy army obviously in

628
00:35:48.960 --> 00:35:54.480
<v Speaker 2>the south, and so it's a very complicated situation and

629
00:35:54.599 --> 00:35:58.320
<v Speaker 2>the Lebanese government simply doesn't have the power to disarm them.

630
00:35:58.360 --> 00:36:01.440
<v Speaker 2>They just don't. It's forty percent of Lebanese armed forces.

631
00:36:02.280 --> 00:36:05.840
<v Speaker 2>So the US, in my view, instead of knocking down

632
00:36:05.880 --> 00:36:09.079
<v Speaker 2>the Christian community over and over and over again. For instance,

633
00:36:09.639 --> 00:36:12.519
<v Speaker 2>during the Gulf War, bush One came in and said,

634
00:36:12.559 --> 00:36:14.760
<v Speaker 2>you know, we'll let Syria come invade you if you

635
00:36:14.840 --> 00:36:19.119
<v Speaker 2>join us against Saddam. Well, we didn't need Syria to

636
00:36:19.199 --> 00:36:21.360
<v Speaker 2>join us against Saddam. I mean it was nice, I

637
00:36:21.360 --> 00:36:24.199
<v Speaker 2>guess on paper, but the Christian community just got thrown

638
00:36:24.239 --> 00:36:28.199
<v Speaker 2>under the bus. So that's if we focus on them

639
00:36:28.480 --> 00:36:31.119
<v Speaker 2>and make them a lot stronger. I think we will

640
00:36:31.119 --> 00:36:34.679
<v Speaker 2>find a solution in Lebanon because I think they will

641
00:36:35.280 --> 00:36:37.519
<v Speaker 2>be able to work with the Shia elements in the

642
00:36:37.519 --> 00:36:40.239
<v Speaker 2>country because they're not going away either. And there's a

643
00:36:40.239 --> 00:36:43.559
<v Speaker 2>lot of Syrian and Sunni or excuse me, Shia and

644
00:36:43.719 --> 00:36:47.239
<v Speaker 2>Sunni refugees from Syria in Lebanon that need to go home.

645
00:36:47.280 --> 00:36:50.119
<v Speaker 2>That's another thing the US could do is bring them

646
00:36:50.159 --> 00:36:52.599
<v Speaker 2>back into Syria the Syrian wars over, but there's a

647
00:36:52.639 --> 00:36:55.000
<v Speaker 2>lot of NGOs keeping them there. I mean. It's very

648
00:36:55.039 --> 00:36:57.440
<v Speaker 2>similar to what's happening in Europe and in the US,

649
00:36:57.480 --> 00:37:02.320
<v Speaker 2>where in the Christian areas you're having enabled immigrant population

650
00:37:02.440 --> 00:37:04.760
<v Speaker 2>come in and then paid for and all of that.

651
00:37:04.840 --> 00:37:08.000
<v Speaker 2>So it's very I see it as diabolical. So my

652
00:37:08.119 --> 00:37:11.800
<v Speaker 2>goal is to is to really sup just if you

653
00:37:11.800 --> 00:37:14.519
<v Speaker 2>can empower that community in leban Nine, I think you'll

654
00:37:14.519 --> 00:37:17.639
<v Speaker 2>see a good, strong Christian community in the U in

655
00:37:17.719 --> 00:37:20.559
<v Speaker 2>the Middle East, and that will that will open doors,

656
00:37:20.559 --> 00:37:23.159
<v Speaker 2>in my opinion, to solve some of these problems.

657
00:37:23.440 --> 00:37:28.159
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, historically Lebanon was the only majority Christian country for many,

658
00:37:28.199 --> 00:37:32.960
<v Speaker 5>many centuries, correct, and then the Palestinian refugees wowed to

659
00:37:33.000 --> 00:37:33.320
<v Speaker 5>come in.

660
00:37:34.239 --> 00:37:37.519
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, that's it started. They brought in a half million,

661
00:37:37.519 --> 00:37:41.039
<v Speaker 2>and that started the civil War, you know, and it

662
00:37:41.079 --> 00:37:43.280
<v Speaker 2>was downhill from there. And then you had the explosion

663
00:37:43.840 --> 00:37:46.360
<v Speaker 2>in the Big Report, which many think was intentional by

664
00:37:46.360 --> 00:37:48.920
<v Speaker 2>some group, and then you have a Color Revolution in

665
00:37:48.920 --> 00:37:51.599
<v Speaker 2>twenty nineteen with George soils to destroy the financial sector

666
00:37:51.599 --> 00:37:54.119
<v Speaker 2>and the currency in the central bank. And so it's

667
00:37:54.119 --> 00:37:58.000
<v Speaker 2>been an ongoing series of attacks on them. And I

668
00:37:58.000 --> 00:38:00.280
<v Speaker 2>think the best thing the US could do is up

669
00:38:00.320 --> 00:38:03.039
<v Speaker 2>and say, you know this, this is where Christ walked,

670
00:38:03.039 --> 00:38:05.719
<v Speaker 2>this is the first Christians, these are the descendants we

671
00:38:05.760 --> 00:38:08.159
<v Speaker 2>need to We're going to make sure they stay in

672
00:38:08.159 --> 00:38:08.599
<v Speaker 2>the levant.

673
00:38:10.639 --> 00:38:13.519
<v Speaker 5>So so Leblond's government. The president. I think he's a

674
00:38:13.599 --> 00:38:18.679
<v Speaker 5>Christian and a combat veteran wounded even remember right, Uh

675
00:38:18.920 --> 00:38:22.559
<v Speaker 5>he is he's signed up to replacing Hissbola in the South,

676
00:38:23.119 --> 00:38:25.119
<v Speaker 5>but he he doesn't have the capability to do that.

677
00:38:25.159 --> 00:38:35.519
<v Speaker 5>How does he do that? Yep, I think we might

678
00:38:35.519 --> 00:38:43.679
<v Speaker 5>have lost him, mister producer, can you hear me? Yeah,

679
00:38:43.840 --> 00:38:45.079
<v Speaker 5>we'll see if we can get it back. Do you

680
00:38:45.119 --> 00:38:48.079
<v Speaker 5>answer that question? I mean, that's that's that's been the

681
00:38:48.199 --> 00:38:52.599
<v Speaker 5>rub folks, uh for uh for the whole time I

682
00:38:52.679 --> 00:38:56.360
<v Speaker 5>was in the US military. Uh, all the way from

683
00:38:56.679 --> 00:38:58.639
<v Speaker 5>when the US went in with the Marines and we

684
00:38:58.719 --> 00:39:01.880
<v Speaker 5>got a bunch of people killed in the Baca Valley

685
00:39:02.000 --> 00:39:02.639
<v Speaker 5>in Beirut.

686
00:39:03.800 --> 00:39:03.920
<v Speaker 9>Uh.

687
00:39:04.400 --> 00:39:08.880
<v Speaker 5>You know, we've had military officers kidnapped and skinned alive

688
00:39:09.119 --> 00:39:16.960
<v Speaker 5>by these people Christians, you know, persecuted and those kinds

689
00:39:16.960 --> 00:39:19.519
<v Speaker 5>of things. So Todd, you're back. Hey, I was asking

690
00:39:19.519 --> 00:39:22.119
<v Speaker 5>you a question. The question was, you know, the president

691
00:39:22.119 --> 00:39:24.360
<v Speaker 5>of Lebanon, he's he's a combat better and I think

692
00:39:24.360 --> 00:39:28.239
<v Speaker 5>he's even been wounded, so he so he understands military force.

693
00:39:29.000 --> 00:39:32.159
<v Speaker 5>He gets it. He has signed up to replacing Hesbala

694
00:39:32.280 --> 00:39:34.159
<v Speaker 5>in the South, but how does he do that if

695
00:39:34.159 --> 00:39:37.079
<v Speaker 5>he doesn't have the capability, we.

696
00:39:37.039 --> 00:39:39.519
<v Speaker 2>Need to help that capability. And sorry, we have some

697
00:39:39.559 --> 00:39:42.519
<v Speaker 2>construction going on and we had some power blinking out here,

698
00:39:42.559 --> 00:39:46.199
<v Speaker 2>so that's what happened. But I think the US needs

699
00:39:46.239 --> 00:39:50.000
<v Speaker 2>to support the Lebanese military. We really don't. They don't

700
00:39:50.039 --> 00:39:52.199
<v Speaker 2>have the capability to disarm them at this point. You know,

701
00:39:52.440 --> 00:39:54.440
<v Speaker 2>it's kind of like baby steps. There's two areas that

702
00:39:54.480 --> 00:39:57.239
<v Speaker 2>the Israelis are going to withdraw from and these forces

703
00:39:57.280 --> 00:39:59.880
<v Speaker 2>are going to go in and try to pacify those areas.

704
00:40:00.400 --> 00:40:04.159
<v Speaker 2>I think there's a deal to be made, especially with

705
00:40:04.199 --> 00:40:06.559
<v Speaker 2>Iran in a much weakened state. You see this with

706
00:40:06.719 --> 00:40:10.199
<v Speaker 2>you know, the deal with Tamas in Gaza. I mean

707
00:40:10.239 --> 00:40:13.039
<v Speaker 2>that there may be some progress there. It's a little

708
00:40:13.079 --> 00:40:15.559
<v Speaker 2>hard to tell, but you could see a similar situation

709
00:40:16.760 --> 00:40:20.960
<v Speaker 2>in the Levant, and I hope that can happen. But yes,

710
00:40:21.800 --> 00:40:25.199
<v Speaker 2>Joseph Own is a combat veteran, and I know a

711
00:40:25.199 --> 00:40:26.880
<v Speaker 2>lot of those veterans. In fact, I was staying in

712
00:40:27.440 --> 00:40:30.079
<v Speaker 2>Beirut and the you know, the houses and buildings are

713
00:40:30.159 --> 00:40:32.519
<v Speaker 2>very close together, and the one right across my balcony

714
00:40:32.639 --> 00:40:35.039
<v Speaker 2>was pock marked with bullet holes from the Civil War.

715
00:40:35.480 --> 00:40:37.920
<v Speaker 2>So it's very fresh in people's minds, and it was

716
00:40:38.000 --> 00:40:39.480
<v Speaker 2>devastating for the Christian community.

717
00:40:40.480 --> 00:40:43.519
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, and I don't think the regular Lebanese people hate

718
00:40:43.519 --> 00:40:50.679
<v Speaker 5>the Israelis either. I've never understood why the Israeli haven't

719
00:40:50.679 --> 00:40:53.199
<v Speaker 5>brought been able to bring their capabilities to bear to

720
00:40:53.199 --> 00:40:56.719
<v Speaker 5>help the Lebanese army too, because I mean they have

721
00:40:56.840 --> 00:41:00.320
<v Speaker 5>every inch of that southern place up to the river

722
00:41:00.440 --> 00:41:08.719
<v Speaker 5>at least and beyond I'm sure, and everything both above

723
00:41:08.760 --> 00:41:11.159
<v Speaker 5>the ground and underground. I think they have a lot

724
00:41:11.159 --> 00:41:15.400
<v Speaker 5>of mapping. Yes, of course, what they have struck an

725
00:41:15.440 --> 00:41:19.280
<v Speaker 5>agreement with the Lebanese government. Any hope that that's going

726
00:41:19.320 --> 00:41:21.239
<v Speaker 5>to be that because I think they're better than us

727
00:41:22.000 --> 00:41:23.519
<v Speaker 5>in the humanity.

728
00:41:23.679 --> 00:41:27.800
<v Speaker 2>Very intelligence, very good intelligence network, you know. I mean well,

729
00:41:28.119 --> 00:41:30.519
<v Speaker 2>I mean Lebanon is not a sovereign country. I mean

730
00:41:30.719 --> 00:41:33.239
<v Speaker 2>I was there and there's I put it on X

731
00:41:33.239 --> 00:41:35.719
<v Speaker 2>a few times, there's an Israeli drone flying overhead the

732
00:41:35.719 --> 00:41:38.039
<v Speaker 2>whole time I'm there, you know, eating dinner outside the cafe,

733
00:41:38.960 --> 00:41:42.280
<v Speaker 2>you know, I mean they're surveilling constantly. So it is

734
00:41:44.239 --> 00:41:47.880
<v Speaker 2>the Israelis have the capability. I think what there needs

735
00:41:47.920 --> 00:41:50.559
<v Speaker 2>to be a way to give sovereignty to Lebanon, but

736
00:41:50.760 --> 00:41:54.679
<v Speaker 2>also deal with the threats militarily. I'm not sure exactly

737
00:41:54.679 --> 00:41:57.079
<v Speaker 2>what that looks like, but I do know that strengthening

738
00:41:57.119 --> 00:41:59.519
<v Speaker 2>the Christian community is a big part of that. Because

739
00:41:59.559 --> 00:42:03.280
<v Speaker 2>you're right, they're not anti Israel per se. They don't

740
00:42:03.320 --> 00:42:05.559
<v Speaker 2>want to be used as a buffer zone and to

741
00:42:05.760 --> 00:42:08.679
<v Speaker 2>accept like another million refugees. It's going to harm their

742
00:42:08.679 --> 00:42:12.119
<v Speaker 2>demographics and their power structure in the country. But they're

743
00:42:12.119 --> 00:42:13.079
<v Speaker 2>not anti Israel.

744
00:42:13.440 --> 00:42:13.679
<v Speaker 10>You know.

745
00:42:13.920 --> 00:42:19.039
<v Speaker 5>As a rule, you mentioned the Sunni and Shia refugees

746
00:42:19.079 --> 00:42:23.159
<v Speaker 5>from Syria. I would think that that Al Jilani, the

747
00:42:23.360 --> 00:42:25.920
<v Speaker 5>new president of Syria, would want to get those folks

748
00:42:26.079 --> 00:42:28.199
<v Speaker 5>back and strengthen his population.

749
00:42:29.119 --> 00:42:31.079
<v Speaker 2>This is a big issue, and this is what the

750
00:42:31.119 --> 00:42:33.480
<v Speaker 2>Lebanese are worried about. I'll tell you right now, there's

751
00:42:33.519 --> 00:42:38.159
<v Speaker 2>two billion Sunni refugees from Syria in Lebanon because of

752
00:42:38.159 --> 00:42:40.519
<v Speaker 2>the Syrian civil war that we're fleeing a sod regime.

753
00:42:40.519 --> 00:42:42.760
<v Speaker 2>They're paid to stay there. They don't want to go back.

754
00:42:42.840 --> 00:42:47.960
<v Speaker 2>Lebanon's a beautiful, very nice, sophisticated, you know, nice place

755
00:42:48.719 --> 00:42:52.239
<v Speaker 2>for the most part, and so they don't want to

756
00:42:52.280 --> 00:42:54.920
<v Speaker 2>go back. And one of the big things the US

757
00:42:55.039 --> 00:42:58.840
<v Speaker 2>could do is say you're going back. We kind of

758
00:42:58.840 --> 00:43:01.800
<v Speaker 2>control Galani think or Asura or whatever his name is.

759
00:43:01.800 --> 00:43:04.159
<v Speaker 2>And but yes, you would think he would want those

760
00:43:04.159 --> 00:43:06.199
<v Speaker 2>people back. And in the in the Lebanies are very

761
00:43:06.199 --> 00:43:09.079
<v Speaker 2>worried about that because like the a lot of the

762
00:43:09.199 --> 00:43:12.679
<v Speaker 2>Latins and other immigrant communities in the US, the Shia

763
00:43:12.800 --> 00:43:15.719
<v Speaker 2>and the Sunni are embedded throughout all Lebanese society, you know,

764
00:43:16.440 --> 00:43:22.800
<v Speaker 2>m cutting the grass, you know, doing things that need

765
00:43:22.840 --> 00:43:25.440
<v Speaker 2>to be done. And because a lot of them are

766
00:43:25.440 --> 00:43:27.760
<v Speaker 2>on the dole or whatever, and so it's it's it's

767
00:43:27.800 --> 00:43:29.719
<v Speaker 2>it's a big problem. They're scared that that's essentially as

768
00:43:29.760 --> 00:43:31.719
<v Speaker 2>Yahati network in country that needs to be returned to

769
00:43:32.400 --> 00:43:32.760
<v Speaker 2>And I hope.

770
00:43:32.800 --> 00:43:37.320
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, so those Hesbalah recruit from these Shia refugee populations,

771
00:43:37.880 --> 00:43:38.800
<v Speaker 5>I'm assuming.

772
00:43:40.239 --> 00:43:43.400
<v Speaker 2>I'm told that's a spy network, right, because if you've

773
00:43:43.440 --> 00:43:47.119
<v Speaker 2>got Shia throughout the communities doing, you know, embedded in

774
00:43:47.159 --> 00:43:50.599
<v Speaker 2>the Christian community, because Christians have all the money, right

775
00:43:50.639 --> 00:43:56.239
<v Speaker 2>because they're successful, they're entrepreneurial. The other populations don't. Now

776
00:43:56.400 --> 00:43:58.239
<v Speaker 2>it's not that's not a hard fast rule. There are

777
00:43:58.280 --> 00:44:01.239
<v Speaker 2>some very big oligarchs in the sh and Sunny communities

778
00:44:01.280 --> 00:44:03.800
<v Speaker 2>in Lebanon. But for the most part, the Christians are

779
00:44:03.800 --> 00:44:09.159
<v Speaker 2>the ones that are economically self reliant and successful. So yes,

780
00:44:09.320 --> 00:44:11.320
<v Speaker 2>they're they're worried about that as kind of a spy

781
00:44:11.440 --> 00:44:13.480
<v Speaker 2>network throughout their whole community as well.

782
00:44:14.280 --> 00:44:16.800
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, you don't think that there's going to be any

783
00:44:16.840 --> 00:44:22.199
<v Speaker 5>plans to put U like US peace keeping forces uh

784
00:44:22.280 --> 00:44:24.760
<v Speaker 5>in place. I mean the UNS tried that stuff in

785
00:44:24.840 --> 00:44:28.440
<v Speaker 5>southern Lebanon for decades now. Is absolute failure. I mean

786
00:44:28.440 --> 00:44:31.960
<v Speaker 5>HESWOLO puts their capabilities underneath their box hooles.

787
00:44:32.360 --> 00:44:35.920
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, it's it's I hope we are smart enough to

788
00:44:35.960 --> 00:44:40.400
<v Speaker 2>not do that anymore. Look, you mentioned it the level

789
00:44:40.480 --> 00:44:44.000
<v Speaker 2>the Christian they're they're fighters. I mean, they're they're fine

790
00:44:44.000 --> 00:44:47.480
<v Speaker 2>and protecting themselves. They just got to make them stronger

791
00:44:47.639 --> 00:44:50.199
<v Speaker 2>and stop trying to weaken them and stop trying to

792
00:44:50.239 --> 00:44:53.320
<v Speaker 2>weaken their economy because you've seen if you look back

793
00:44:53.360 --> 00:44:55.719
<v Speaker 2>through history in the seventies, there was there was no

794
00:44:55.760 --> 00:44:57.199
<v Speaker 2>problem with a lot of this stuff when you had

795
00:44:57.199 --> 00:44:59.960
<v Speaker 2>a strong Christian community. So you moved back to the

796
00:45:00.199 --> 00:45:02.239
<v Speaker 2>when you started weakening the Christians, that's when all this

797
00:45:02.280 --> 00:45:05.719
<v Speaker 2>other start started stuff started happening. So my sense is

798
00:45:05.760 --> 00:45:08.440
<v Speaker 2>if you can make that community stronger, keep them in

799
00:45:08.559 --> 00:45:11.719
<v Speaker 2>the structure of power in the government. That is, you know,

800
00:45:11.760 --> 00:45:13.199
<v Speaker 2>you don't have to get all the power to them,

801
00:45:13.199 --> 00:45:16.559
<v Speaker 2>but keep them in a majority power position. Then I

802
00:45:16.559 --> 00:45:18.039
<v Speaker 2>think a lot of good things will happen.

803
00:45:18.960 --> 00:45:20.840
<v Speaker 5>I think. I think. So it's just a matter of

804
00:45:21.000 --> 00:45:23.320
<v Speaker 5>we just have to do it, have to get it done,

805
00:45:23.440 --> 00:45:24.800
<v Speaker 5>all right. We got to take one more break and

806
00:45:24.840 --> 00:45:26.400
<v Speaker 5>we come back. We'll see a little clip on the

807
00:45:26.480 --> 00:45:30.199
<v Speaker 5>way back in the Egyptian port where there're a US

808
00:45:30.239 --> 00:45:34.639
<v Speaker 5>gas holding platform was struck along with an Egyptian LNG.

809
00:45:34.840 --> 00:45:38.639
<v Speaker 5>You look by natural gas transportship. Uh, they think by

810
00:45:38.639 --> 00:45:40.480
<v Speaker 5>a drone. We'll be right back with El Toddwin.

811
00:45:47.800 --> 00:45:49.480
<v Speaker 2>You woke up with a sore throat and the low

812
00:45:49.519 --> 00:45:50.039
<v Speaker 2>grade fever.

813
00:45:50.159 --> 00:45:52.199
<v Speaker 12>You know you are getting six or here's your choices.

814
00:45:52.239 --> 00:45:54.800
<v Speaker 12>You can get sicker and miswork, try to see a

815
00:45:54.840 --> 00:45:56.920
<v Speaker 12>doctor this week, or see it hours in a crowded

816
00:45:56.920 --> 00:45:58.440

834
00:46:44.239 --> 00:46:46.280
<v Speaker 5>don't have to go to urgentcare. I got pneumonia. I

835
00:46:46.320 --> 00:46:48.400
<v Speaker 5>didn't have to go like I did last year. Stayed

836
00:46:48.440 --> 00:46:49.239
<v Speaker 5>at home with the bed.

837
00:46:57.400 --> 00:47:00.760
<v Speaker 14>When yesterday was so the headlines that thing has been

838
00:47:00.840 --> 00:47:04.159
<v Speaker 14>hit in the port of Damietta, which is on the Mediterranean.

839
00:47:04.239 --> 00:47:06.719
<v Speaker 14>I mean, the first reaction was like, it's too far

840
00:47:06.760 --> 00:47:07.519
<v Speaker 14>away from.

841
00:47:07.360 --> 00:47:08.480
<v Speaker 5>The conflict zone.

842
00:47:09.320 --> 00:47:13.400
<v Speaker 14>It's far away from Iran, it's far away from Yemen,

843
00:47:14.039 --> 00:47:18.119
<v Speaker 14>far away quite honestly from many places in the battle zone.

844
00:47:18.119 --> 00:47:23.519
<v Speaker 14>But the significance of this development is immense. What was

845
00:47:23.559 --> 00:47:27.280
<v Speaker 14>happening in the past six months when the US attacked

846
00:47:27.320 --> 00:47:31.880
<v Speaker 14>Iran and Iran retaliated, was that the military actions have shut.

847
00:47:31.639 --> 00:47:32.719
<v Speaker 5>The Strait of Hormus.

848
00:47:32.800 --> 00:47:35.599
<v Speaker 14>The Strait of Hormus in the Gulf is the world

849
00:47:35.679 --> 00:47:40.480
<v Speaker 14>most important oil evacuation route. It is responsible for roughly

850
00:47:40.599 --> 00:47:45.880
<v Speaker 14>seventeen percent of global oil supply. Saudi Arabia was preparing

851
00:47:46.199 --> 00:47:49.760
<v Speaker 14>for this crisis for many, many years, if not decades.

852
00:47:50.199 --> 00:47:54.760
<v Speaker 14>Your Saudi Arabia strategically has built a pipeline towards the

853
00:47:54.800 --> 00:47:58.679
<v Speaker 14>Red Sea. Saudi Arabia was able to reroot oil to

854
00:47:58.760 --> 00:48:02.000
<v Speaker 14>the port of Yanborn Red Sea. From there it was

855
00:48:02.079 --> 00:48:06.920
<v Speaker 14>sending tankers down south to supply Asian clients via the

856
00:48:07.119 --> 00:48:13.519
<v Speaker 14>very narrow Babel Mandeb straits. Now the problem became even

857
00:48:13.599 --> 00:48:18.360
<v Speaker 14>bigger when the Houthies said they would join the fight

858
00:48:18.519 --> 00:48:22.920
<v Speaker 14>attack Saudi Arabia, and we've seen drons and missiles being

859
00:48:22.960 --> 00:48:26.800
<v Speaker 14>fired at various tankers in Babel Mandeb. As a result,

860
00:48:26.840 --> 00:48:30.719
<v Speaker 14>the only safe route Saudi Arabia was left with was

861
00:48:30.760 --> 00:48:34.000
<v Speaker 14>to send oil up north in the Red Sea towards

862
00:48:34.079 --> 00:48:37.440
<v Speaker 14>the Suez Canal in Egypt. So yesterday attack on the

863
00:48:37.480 --> 00:48:41.239
<v Speaker 14>port dam Yetta Damieta is very very close to the

864
00:48:41.320 --> 00:48:44.320
<v Speaker 14>Suez Canal. So everyone in the oil market has been

865
00:48:44.360 --> 00:48:47.079
<v Speaker 14>asking what does it mean for the Suez Canal, And

866
00:48:47.199 --> 00:48:51.440
<v Speaker 14>of course we've seen insurance and shipping rate spikes. Everyone's

867
00:48:51.480 --> 00:48:53.880
<v Speaker 14>concerned that the next target might be the Suez.

868
00:48:56.199 --> 00:48:59.119
<v Speaker 5>The rod Meine show, It's more warm Monday. We're live

869
00:48:59.159 --> 00:49:01.800
<v Speaker 5>on Worldview two in our X Basis simulcast and my

870
00:49:01.880 --> 00:49:06.559
<v Speaker 5>guest today is CEO of CDM press Entiformer Special Operations

871
00:49:06.559 --> 00:49:13.920
<v Speaker 5>helicopter Pilot. Uh Todd would Todd? Uh yet? I don't

872
00:49:13.920 --> 00:49:16.559
<v Speaker 5>think a lot of people really understand this but them

873
00:49:16.639 --> 00:49:20.239
<v Speaker 5>yet is a port on the Mediterranean Sea in Egypt.

874
00:49:20.280 --> 00:49:22.519
<v Speaker 5>It's not in the Suez Canal, and it's not in

875
00:49:22.639 --> 00:49:26.599
<v Speaker 5>the Red Sea, and it's well beyond where the Huti's

876
00:49:26.719 --> 00:49:30.840
<v Speaker 5>have been. So whatever hit this platform and that ship

877
00:49:31.639 --> 00:49:34.559
<v Speaker 5>had to get past a lot of air defense capable.

878
00:49:38.239 --> 00:49:41.199
<v Speaker 2>There. What do we know it was a projectile or

879
00:49:41.400 --> 00:49:43.039
<v Speaker 2>could have been on a ship or something.

880
00:49:43.079 --> 00:49:45.559
<v Speaker 5>We don't know. I mean, it's very fuzzy reporting.

881
00:49:45.800 --> 00:49:46.039
<v Speaker 2>Uh.

882
00:49:46.079 --> 00:49:49.559
<v Speaker 5>The Iranians, I couldn't find anything where they had taken responsibility,

883
00:49:49.599 --> 00:49:51.039
<v Speaker 5>but they were getting a lot of blame for it.

884
00:49:51.880 --> 00:49:52.199
<v Speaker 2>Hmm.

885
00:49:52.800 --> 00:49:56.559
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, Well, the driveway reports is that I kept coming

886
00:49:56.599 --> 00:49:59.599
<v Speaker 5>across when I was researching something interesting.

887
00:49:59.679 --> 00:50:02.719
<v Speaker 2>I mean, if you talk with all the Promethean action people,

888
00:50:02.760 --> 00:50:05.119
<v Speaker 2>they think that there's a much bigger conflict going on

889
00:50:05.199 --> 00:50:08.920
<v Speaker 2>here of really redrawing a lot of the financial and

890
00:50:08.960 --> 00:50:14.840
<v Speaker 2>resource allocation zones and routing across the world. So it

891
00:50:14.880 --> 00:50:17.119
<v Speaker 2>could be part of that. I mean, I actually I

892
00:50:17.159 --> 00:50:20.480
<v Speaker 2>don't know a lot about that situation. I do know that,

893
00:50:21.320 --> 00:50:23.760
<v Speaker 2>you know, you could even make a cause in these

894
00:50:23.800 --> 00:50:26.199
<v Speaker 2>whoever's doing all this is thinking long term. You look

895
00:50:26.199 --> 00:50:27.960
<v Speaker 2>at the port explosion in be Rude. I mean, I

896
00:50:27.960 --> 00:50:31.039
<v Speaker 2>don't think that was organic. I mean it was obviously

897
00:50:31.119 --> 00:50:34.039
<v Speaker 2>they say it was due to some ammonium nitrate in

898
00:50:34.079 --> 00:50:36.960
<v Speaker 2>the harbor, But there was a lot of funky stuff

899
00:50:37.000 --> 00:50:40.880
<v Speaker 2>going on with that, you know, beforehand, so and I

900
00:50:40.920 --> 00:50:43.880
<v Speaker 2>know other stuff, So I don't think that was organic.

901
00:50:43.960 --> 00:50:48.840
<v Speaker 2>So you know, there is an agenda. I'm not quite

902
00:50:48.840 --> 00:50:51.840
<v Speaker 2>sure what it is, but things are changing as far

903
00:50:51.880 --> 00:50:53.920
<v Speaker 2>as who gets access to what and how it's moved.

904
00:50:54.199 --> 00:50:55.039
<v Speaker 2>That I can tell you.

905
00:50:55.679 --> 00:51:01.360
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, And that stretch of strategic movement spots all the

906
00:51:01.360 --> 00:51:06.280
<v Speaker 5>way from the mid out through the bomb balla bed

907
00:51:07.280 --> 00:51:09.679
<v Speaker 5>I mess up to pronunciate the straight down where the

908
00:51:09.760 --> 00:51:13.760
<v Speaker 5>human is in smolly Land. I mean that's coming under

909
00:51:13.800 --> 00:51:17.880
<v Speaker 5>increasingly threat. Uh you know the Hooti's fired on a

910
00:51:17.880 --> 00:51:21.880
<v Speaker 5>couple of Saudi ships and say they're going to blockade

911
00:51:21.920 --> 00:51:27.400
<v Speaker 5>the Saudis from reaching their ports. Those kind of things. Well,

912
00:51:27.440 --> 00:51:30.519
<v Speaker 5>we got to question the audience. Let's take that since

913
00:51:30.519 --> 00:51:33.400
<v Speaker 5>we're in the last segment. Go ahead, jil.

914
00:51:34.960 --> 00:51:39.320
<v Speaker 15>We have a j sir. Thank you, Shechelle, Thank you,

915
00:51:39.400 --> 00:51:44.199
<v Speaker 15>Colonel mister Wood. It's always a pleasure, sir. My question

916
00:51:44.480 --> 00:51:49.880
<v Speaker 15>pretends to Islamic. Look, every ron they are known to

917
00:51:50.440 --> 00:51:54.840
<v Speaker 15>lose five hundred million dollars a day, and this is

918
00:51:54.880 --> 00:52:00.400
<v Speaker 15>a massive financial bleeding. Desperate times call for desperate and

919
00:52:00.440 --> 00:52:03.599
<v Speaker 15>my fear is that this is going to push them

920
00:52:03.639 --> 00:52:05.719
<v Speaker 15>to try to purchase.

921
00:52:06.719 --> 00:52:08.039
<v Speaker 5>A nuclear.

922
00:52:09.320 --> 00:52:15.280
<v Speaker 15>Capability in the context of tactical nukes. What is the

923
00:52:15.320 --> 00:52:21.199
<v Speaker 15>reality if you can contribute to this concern that I

924
00:52:21.280 --> 00:52:22.079
<v Speaker 15>really appreciate it.

925
00:52:22.119 --> 00:52:26.000
<v Speaker 2>Thank you. Well. I think that's a possibility. I mean,

926
00:52:26.000 --> 00:52:28.280
<v Speaker 2>I wouldn't put it past the Iranians. I think the

927
00:52:28.320 --> 00:52:30.719
<v Speaker 2>President obviously knows a lot more than we do, and

928
00:52:31.679 --> 00:52:35.639
<v Speaker 2>it's probably taken all those possibilities into account with what

929
00:52:35.719 --> 00:52:39.880
<v Speaker 2>he's doing. The con network out of Pakistan is you know,

930
00:52:39.960 --> 00:52:42.960
<v Speaker 2>shut down. But I'm sure there are other avenues. The

931
00:52:43.039 --> 00:52:46.599
<v Speaker 2>Chinese are supplying them with, you know, man pads essentially,

932
00:52:46.599 --> 00:52:50.480
<v Speaker 2>which is can be very effective against civilian aircraft, against

933
00:52:50.519 --> 00:52:54.639
<v Speaker 2>our aircraft. So that is where the intelligence comes in.

934
00:52:54.679 --> 00:52:59.199
<v Speaker 2>And I simply don't have my TSSC eye clearance anymore.

935
00:52:59.320 --> 00:53:01.159
<v Speaker 2>So I don't know, but I hope that.

936
00:53:01.360 --> 00:53:01.480
<v Speaker 15>Uh.

937
00:53:02.079 --> 00:53:04.719
<v Speaker 2>I hope the president knows what's going on there and

938
00:53:04.760 --> 00:53:06.400
<v Speaker 2>would deal with it. What do you think wrong?

939
00:53:07.039 --> 00:53:09.639
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, you know you forgot, well you didn't forget, but

940
00:53:09.679 --> 00:53:12.119
<v Speaker 5>you didn't mention the North Koreans too. So they're friends

941
00:53:12.199 --> 00:53:17.800
<v Speaker 5>with their friends with four nuclear powers. I believe the Russians,

942
00:53:17.840 --> 00:53:23.199
<v Speaker 5>the Chinese, the Pakistanis UH, and the North Koreans as

943
00:53:23.199 --> 00:53:25.440
<v Speaker 5>far as I know, I mean, this is just all

944
00:53:25.440 --> 00:53:28.679
<v Speaker 5>open sort stuff. I don't have a clear let's see,

945
00:53:28.519 --> 00:53:32.199
<v Speaker 5>I clear city wore either or anything else, uh for

946
00:53:32.280 --> 00:53:34.039
<v Speaker 5>that better that would relate to this stuff.

947
00:53:34.360 --> 00:53:34.480
<v Speaker 10>Uh.

948
00:53:34.760 --> 00:53:37.760
<v Speaker 5>But you know, all of those entities have gone in

949
00:53:37.840 --> 00:53:41.599
<v Speaker 5>and out of Iran, uh. And of all of the

950
00:53:41.599 --> 00:53:43.840
<v Speaker 5>ones that I would not put it past them, it

951
00:53:43.840 --> 00:53:47.079
<v Speaker 5>would be Pakistan or the North Koreans.

952
00:53:47.079 --> 00:53:48.480
<v Speaker 2>That's what I was gonna say. The Russians and the

953
00:53:48.559 --> 00:53:52.320
<v Speaker 2>Chinese wouldn't do that, but it's possible, I would say,

954
00:53:52.320 --> 00:53:57.679
<v Speaker 2>primarily the sometime of Arab route or Central Asian route

955
00:53:58.119 --> 00:53:58.800
<v Speaker 2>that did happen.

956
00:53:58.960 --> 00:54:02.480
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, we got to remember Pakistani's hid Osama bin Laden

957
00:54:03.239 --> 00:54:06.679
<v Speaker 5>in a villa a stone's throw away from their their

958
00:54:06.800 --> 00:54:12.840
<v Speaker 5>national military academy. Uh you know, uh you know, and

959
00:54:13.039 --> 00:54:17.239
<v Speaker 5>uh uh Fortunately for the Pakistani's, the nuclear side of

960
00:54:17.320 --> 00:54:19.239
<v Speaker 5>their operation has been kept in.

961
00:54:19.559 --> 00:54:20.039
<v Speaker 1>Uh.

962
00:54:20.199 --> 00:54:23.880
<v Speaker 5>I wouldn't say they're they're completely non religious bands, but

963
00:54:23.920 --> 00:54:26.360
<v Speaker 5>they're not in Islamic fundamentalist bands.

964
00:54:26.800 --> 00:54:26.880
<v Speaker 15>Uh.

965
00:54:26.960 --> 00:54:32.159
<v Speaker 5>They're nuclear force or not at least so far anyway. Uh.

966
00:54:32.280 --> 00:54:38.480
<v Speaker 5>But but the land route from Pakistan via Afghanistan and

967
00:54:38.559 --> 00:54:45.039
<v Speaker 5>into Iran uh is famously uh difficult to uh surveil,

968
00:54:45.599 --> 00:54:49.280
<v Speaker 5>difficult to defend. I mean, we we had the we

969
00:54:49.360 --> 00:54:52.599
<v Speaker 5>owned the airspace uh there, and we could not stop

970
00:54:52.639 --> 00:54:57.920
<v Speaker 5>them from resupplying through those mountains, uh consistently down into

971
00:54:57.920 --> 00:55:01.440
<v Speaker 5>the Taliban and the al Qaeda uh work the county

972
00:55:01.519 --> 00:55:04.800
<v Speaker 5>network and all that I mean, because I mean they're

973
00:55:04.880 --> 00:55:09.719
<v Speaker 5>using mules a lot of them, and backpacks they want,

974
00:55:11.360 --> 00:55:13.639
<v Speaker 5>they don't care, they don't they don't carry a cell phone,

975
00:55:13.639 --> 00:55:17.880
<v Speaker 5>whether you contract your signal every day. They have some capability,

976
00:55:17.880 --> 00:55:21.519
<v Speaker 5>but you got to be looking for it to find

977
00:55:21.519 --> 00:55:26.320
<v Speaker 5>their signals. Uh. You know, the terrain is just massive terrain.

978
00:55:26.360 --> 00:55:28.679
<v Speaker 5>I've flown in a day and night at low altitude

979
00:55:28.760 --> 00:55:33.280
<v Speaker 5>and high speed and it's just very, very challenging. I

980
00:55:33.360 --> 00:55:36.719
<v Speaker 5>just I don't think most people understand todd uh that

981
00:55:36.840 --> 00:55:40.159
<v Speaker 5>don't study this stuff and aren't professionals in it. Uh,

982
00:55:41.119 --> 00:55:45.639
<v Speaker 5>just how challenging the Earth is as a as a system,

983
00:55:45.679 --> 00:55:49.960
<v Speaker 5>as a machine, you know, from the weather obviously the

984
00:55:49.960 --> 00:55:55.000
<v Speaker 5>climate change nets. I think that bands activities can affect

985
00:55:55.880 --> 00:55:57.559
<v Speaker 5>the weather.

986
00:55:57.400 --> 00:56:01.880
<v Speaker 2>Systems at night in the mountains in bad weather. As

987
00:56:01.920 --> 00:56:02.960
<v Speaker 2>a young man's game.

988
00:56:03.400 --> 00:56:07.719
<v Speaker 5>Yes it is, Yes, yes it is a young man's game. Uh.

989
00:56:07.760 --> 00:56:10.239
<v Speaker 5>But but it's like finding a needle in the haystack

990
00:56:10.320 --> 00:56:14.039
<v Speaker 5>unless you've got like like a spy sitting on the

991
00:56:14.039 --> 00:56:17.159
<v Speaker 5>guy that's carrying the backpack with the bomb in it,

992
00:56:18.039 --> 00:56:22.559
<v Speaker 5>you know, because I mean that's literally what what what

993
00:56:22.599 --> 00:56:25.280
<v Speaker 5>they would have to do and the capabilities are there

994
00:56:25.360 --> 00:56:28.800
<v Speaker 5>around the world, so so is it possible? Yeah, I

995
00:56:28.800 --> 00:56:32.320
<v Speaker 5>mean they're fanatics. I don't think they'll ever stop trying

996
00:56:32.320 --> 00:56:35.320
<v Speaker 5>to get a nuclear bomb of some sort. The question

997
00:56:35.519 --> 00:56:40.519
<v Speaker 5>is do they have them now where they just hadn't

998
00:56:40.840 --> 00:56:44.039
<v Speaker 5>been able to mate it to deliver a reliable delivery

999
00:56:44.039 --> 00:56:47.559
<v Speaker 5>system that was accurate enough for them and we disrupted it,

1000
00:56:48.159 --> 00:56:51.599
<v Speaker 5>or or are they going to buy one, or are

1001
00:56:51.639 --> 00:56:54.920
<v Speaker 5>they planning on buying one for Korea and transitting through

1002
00:56:54.960 --> 00:56:58.760
<v Speaker 5>Pakistan and Afghanistan. I mean, there's a lot of big

1003
00:56:58.840 --> 00:57:01.320
<v Speaker 5>questions in that, but they're all possible to do.

1004
00:57:02.639 --> 00:57:05.760
<v Speaker 2>Sure. Yeah, I don't think there's any doubt about that,

1005
00:57:06.000 --> 00:57:06.400
<v Speaker 2>of course.

1006
00:57:07.000 --> 00:57:11.960
<v Speaker 5>Yeah. So so with this hit on the LNG platform,

1007
00:57:12.039 --> 00:57:14.840
<v Speaker 5>the US Woman and the tanker out there, the Egyptian tanker,

1008
00:57:16.320 --> 00:57:21.280
<v Speaker 5>the Hooties have never fired anything from their range past

1009
00:57:21.480 --> 00:57:23.400
<v Speaker 5>Israel that I'm aware of. Have they ever been?

1010
00:57:24.039 --> 00:57:29.559
<v Speaker 2>I don't know. Yeah, I don't know they would be

1011
00:57:29.840 --> 00:57:32.920
<v Speaker 2>I guess the likely source. But other than any other

1012
00:57:33.039 --> 00:57:34.719
<v Speaker 2>kind of ingress or out, you know.

1013
00:57:35.199 --> 00:57:37.519
<v Speaker 5>I'm more devious than that. See. I think it's probably

1014
00:57:37.559 --> 00:57:42.000
<v Speaker 5>a container either at a dock at a dock or

1015
00:57:42.039 --> 00:57:45.400
<v Speaker 5>on a ship somewhere close enough where it would be

1016
00:57:45.480 --> 00:57:46.440
<v Speaker 5>underneath all the radar.

1017
00:57:48.400 --> 00:57:51.400
<v Speaker 2>I would think you're probably right, Yeah.

1018
00:57:51.000 --> 00:57:54.039
<v Speaker 5>Because these things are just so easy. That's the other thing.

1019
00:57:54.480 --> 00:57:56.639
<v Speaker 5>You know, what's your take real quick before we get

1020
00:57:56.679 --> 00:57:58.920
<v Speaker 5>to the end of the last minute here, But what's

1021
00:57:58.920 --> 00:58:02.440
<v Speaker 5>your take on our drum own capability. It's been about

1022
00:58:02.480 --> 00:58:04.480
<v Speaker 5>I think probably six or seven months since we talked

1023
00:58:04.480 --> 00:58:08.480
<v Speaker 5>about that, or our drone defense capability. Have we seen

1024
00:58:08.679 --> 00:58:13.280
<v Speaker 5>any improvements in actuality on the ground in the combat

1025
00:58:13.360 --> 00:58:16.880
<v Speaker 5>zones or are we still pretty much where we were at?

1026
00:58:18.360 --> 00:58:21.960
<v Speaker 2>I think we're playing catch up, you know. Unfortunately since

1027
00:58:22.039 --> 00:58:24.320
<v Speaker 2>the lawsuit with the New York Times and the Pentagon

1028
00:58:24.320 --> 00:58:26.320
<v Speaker 2>Press Corps, we haven't been able to get in the

1029
00:58:26.320 --> 00:58:29.960
<v Speaker 2>building for months now, and so we're kind of frozen out.

1030
00:58:31.920 --> 00:58:34.639
<v Speaker 2>So I haven't had the same kind of access to

1031
00:58:34.679 --> 00:58:38.599
<v Speaker 2>people as I did before. So my sense is, though

1032
00:58:38.639 --> 00:58:42.119
<v Speaker 2>we're catching up and building new capabilities, but we're still

1033
00:58:42.119 --> 00:58:47.079
<v Speaker 2>probably you know, in the catchup mode. Yeah, that's kind

1034
00:58:47.119 --> 00:58:47.800
<v Speaker 2>of where I think.

1035
00:58:47.920 --> 00:58:50.360
<v Speaker 5>Is there any news on the lawsuit thing? I thought

1036
00:58:50.400 --> 00:58:52.400
<v Speaker 5>that there was a decision that turned.

1037
00:58:52.159 --> 00:58:54.639
<v Speaker 2>Out there was, but I haven't. I mean, the Pentagon

1038
00:58:54.719 --> 00:58:57.679
<v Speaker 2>went quiet. I mean I used to get fifty emails

1039
00:58:57.679 --> 00:59:00.880
<v Speaker 2>a day. I might get one or two. Now I

1040
00:59:00.880 --> 00:59:04.079
<v Speaker 2>think they just said, well until we've resolved this, you know,

1041
00:59:04.239 --> 00:59:06.119
<v Speaker 2>and I can't even I have credentials, but I can't

1042
00:59:06.119 --> 00:59:08.239
<v Speaker 2>even go into the buildings so unless I'm scored it. So,

1043
00:59:09.119 --> 00:59:12.440
<v Speaker 2>you know, it just doesn't there's no briefings. I mean,

1044
00:59:13.000 --> 00:59:15.639
<v Speaker 2>they shut down the room that we've worked in. Okay,

1045
00:59:15.800 --> 00:59:18.519
<v Speaker 2>so it's kind of been quiet and there's no trips.

1046
00:59:18.559 --> 00:59:20.079
<v Speaker 2>I mean I was you know, I flew out with

1047
00:59:20.159 --> 00:59:22.679
<v Speaker 2>hexeth that shut down too. It's unfortunate.

1048
00:59:23.639 --> 00:59:26.320
<v Speaker 5>It is unfortunate because there was some good reporting going

1049
00:59:26.360 --> 00:59:29.840
<v Speaker 5>on that people were starting to get confidence back, both

1050
00:59:30.559 --> 00:59:33.559
<v Speaker 5>in the institution and in the institution of the press

1051
00:59:33.599 --> 00:59:36.119
<v Speaker 5>that was being allowed to do their business. Well Todd,

1052
00:59:36.119 --> 00:59:40.239
<v Speaker 5>I appreciate it. Uh, hopefully they'll overcome that soon. But

1053
00:59:40.559 --> 00:59:42.360
<v Speaker 5>I just got reports before we came on the air

1054
00:59:42.400 --> 00:59:44.599
<v Speaker 5>that this the war plan for Iran was leaked. That's

1055
00:59:44.639 --> 00:59:48.840
<v Speaker 5>the real reason why the president delayed any operation. But

1056
00:59:49.000 --> 00:59:51.320
<v Speaker 5>we'll see how that whether that turns out to be

1057
00:59:51.400 --> 00:59:54.360
<v Speaker 5>true or not. It's not verified. Ell Todd would folks,

1058
00:59:54.440 --> 00:59:56.119
<v Speaker 5>thanks my friend. I appreciate it.

1059
00:59:56.719 --> 00:59:59.320
<v Speaker 2>Anytime. Tell your audience go to CDM dot Press, but

1060
00:59:59.400 --> 01:00:01.760
<v Speaker 2>it's in your scam. Would help us a lot.

1061
01:00:02.639 --> 01:00:05.400
<v Speaker 5>I bet he's got a lot of international and domestic

1062
01:00:06.000 --> 01:00:10.599

1065
01:00:17.519 --> 01:00:20.159

1066
01:00:20.960 --> 01:00:25.159
<v Speaker 5>that were placed there in Springfield, Ohio. This is going

<v Speaker 5>to be really the Heat Interview. I'll see you then,
