WEBVTT 1 00:00:00.240 --> 00:00:02.399 Israel seems to have been successful in drawing the United 2 00:00:02.399 --> 00:00:04.799 States into war with Iran. What does it look like 3 00:00:04.839 --> 00:00:07.000 the day after the regime topples. We'll discuss with on 4 00:00:07.040 --> 00:00:10.480 investigative journalist Pearson Sharp, plus Congressman Eric Gurlson of Missouri 5 00:00:10.599 --> 00:00:13.039 is here and we've got oan exclusive footage from some 6 00:00:13.119 --> 00:00:16.000 of the anti Rice Ice open borders events that have 7 00:00:16.039 --> 00:00:18.320 happened in California. It's all next on the Matt Gates Show. 8 00:00:18.519 --> 00:00:22.679 Let's do this shaking up Washington, d C. We're breaking 9 00:00:22.719 --> 00:00:25.719 the fever. Do you haven't watch this guy in television. 10 00:00:26.199 --> 00:00:27.440 It's like a machine. 11 00:00:27.960 --> 00:00:30.199 He's great, Matt Gates. 12 00:00:33.280 --> 00:00:35.920 President Trump has posted a threat to the Supreme Leader 13 00:00:35.960 --> 00:00:38.520 of Iran. We know exactly where the so called Supreme 14 00:00:38.600 --> 00:00:41.560 Leader is hiding. He's an easy target, but is safe there. 15 00:00:41.640 --> 00:00:43.600 We are not going to take him out kill, at 16 00:00:43.640 --> 00:00:45.840 least not for now. But we don't want missiles shot 17 00:00:45.880 --> 00:00:48.399 at civilians or American soldiers. Our patients is wearing thin. 18 00:00:48.679 --> 00:00:51.320 Thank you for your attention to this matter. What a 19 00:00:51.439 --> 00:00:54.719 formal ending to a death threat? I know Trump speak, 20 00:00:54.719 --> 00:00:56.479 and I can tell you what he's saying here, whether 21 00:00:56.479 --> 00:00:59.159 you like it or not agree or disagree. He's saying, 22 00:00:59.320 --> 00:01:02.399 dear Kome, we are going to bomb your nuclear sites. 23 00:01:02.640 --> 00:01:06.200 If you respond by massively killing civilians, we will execute you. 24 00:01:06.599 --> 00:01:08.519 If you just shoot some missiles at Israel that we 25 00:01:08.560 --> 00:01:11.560 know you can, we can mostly intercept. Then you get 26 00:01:11.560 --> 00:01:14.359 to keep your regime and keep your life. Here is 27 00:01:14.400 --> 00:01:16.879 the thing. With a post on social media like that, 28 00:01:16.959 --> 00:01:19.319 there is a good chance the US is in this war, 29 00:01:19.439 --> 00:01:22.840 something I hoped would not happen. We expect the bombing 30 00:01:22.920 --> 00:01:26.799 of Iran's nuclear facilities to happen with American planes and 31 00:01:26.879 --> 00:01:32.120 American materiel. Then here's what will happen. Israel will lavish 32 00:01:32.200 --> 00:01:35.359 praise on the US, and then Israel will blend the 33 00:01:35.400 --> 00:01:39.239 anti nuclearization missions and goals of the US with the 34 00:01:39.359 --> 00:01:42.799 regime change goals of Israel. As I told you last evening, 35 00:01:42.879 --> 00:01:45.840 this war isn't about Iran's nuclear weapons. For Israel, it 36 00:01:45.879 --> 00:01:50.400 is about one thing, regime change. Hear me. Now, this 37 00:01:50.560 --> 00:01:54.799 is not going to stop at some bombing campaigns around 38 00:01:54.879 --> 00:02:00.480 Iran's nuclear program. That's just the appetizer, not the entree. 39 00:02:00.680 --> 00:02:04.280 Israel is pursuing regime change in Iran. That is the 40 00:02:04.319 --> 00:02:07.040 true goal of this campaign, and things seem to have 41 00:02:07.079 --> 00:02:11.000 gone well past denuclearization when you're talking about assassinating a 42 00:02:11.039 --> 00:02:14.240 foreign leader. At this stage of the war, Israel has 43 00:02:14.240 --> 00:02:17.520 already killed off Iran's military leadership, They've aspired to kill 44 00:02:17.520 --> 00:02:22.039 off Komani, and they have established air superiority. At this pace, 45 00:02:22.360 --> 00:02:25.280 the war is probably going to end in regime change. 46 00:02:25.319 --> 00:02:29.199 Does America really want to be Israel's dance partner to 47 00:02:29.280 --> 00:02:34.120 this siren song again? Israel's bombing target package will expand, 48 00:02:34.319 --> 00:02:37.719 their sorties will increase. They will systemically kill off enough 49 00:02:37.800 --> 00:02:41.120 leadership in Iran to plunge that nation into civil war 50 00:02:41.199 --> 00:02:47.759 and chaos. They'll gasify Iran. War between Iran and Israel 51 00:02:47.759 --> 00:02:50.360 has entered its fifth day, with both sides exchanging missile 52 00:02:50.400 --> 00:02:53.240 and drone strikes. Iran has launched at least its ninth 53 00:02:53.280 --> 00:02:56.360 wave of missiles and drones into Israel, targeting cities including 54 00:02:56.360 --> 00:03:00.599 Tel Aviv, Hafa, Batyam, and others, all cities I've personally visited. 55 00:03:01.080 --> 00:03:04.319 Israel has responded with extensive air strikes and covert MOSAD 56 00:03:04.439 --> 00:03:08.520 left drone sabotage. Deep inside Iran. Israel has targeted nuclear, 57 00:03:08.599 --> 00:03:12.120 missile and military sites. These operations have killed Iran's newly 58 00:03:12.120 --> 00:03:16.080 appointed wartime Chief of Staff Ali Shadmani, and other military figures. 59 00:03:16.479 --> 00:03:19.319 Persian civilian casualties now exceed two hundred and twenty dead. 60 00:03:19.319 --> 00:03:22.120 In Israel, confirmed dead are north of twenty four with 61 00:03:22.199 --> 00:03:27.039 over one hundred wounded. These numbers will obviously rise exponentially. Sadly, 62 00:03:27.599 --> 00:03:30.479 Tarans expecting a mass evacuation. Over one hundred thousand people 63 00:03:30.520 --> 00:03:33.919 have fled the capital toward the northern regions amid widespread panic. 64 00:03:34.120 --> 00:03:37.080 Israel's air defenses Iron Dome and Arrow have intercepted most 65 00:03:37.120 --> 00:03:39.240 of the missiles coming out of Iran, but concerns do 66 00:03:39.319 --> 00:03:42.719 remain over intercept or supply. Iran has reportedly fired about 67 00:03:42.719 --> 00:03:45.360 three hundred and fifty missiles, which is interesting because Iran 68 00:03:45.400 --> 00:03:47.599 had the goal of getting a thousand missiles in the sky, 69 00:03:47.840 --> 00:03:50.879 so they've obviously fallen short. The G seven issued a 70 00:03:50.879 --> 00:03:53.840 statement supporting Israel's right to self defense, condemning Iran as 71 00:03:53.879 --> 00:03:57.120 a source of instability, and urging broad de escalation, including 72 00:03:57.159 --> 00:03:59.520 in Gaza. President Trump didn't sign it. He left the 73 00:03:59.560 --> 00:04:02.639 G seven early. He called for a real end against 74 00:04:02.680 --> 00:04:03.960 Iran's nuclear ambitions. 75 00:04:04.280 --> 00:04:08.199 We're looking for better are what specifically is better than 76 00:04:08.240 --> 00:04:09.039 a ceasefire, what. 77 00:04:08.960 --> 00:04:11.759 Are you looking for here? 78 00:04:12.039 --> 00:04:14.960 And then a real end, not a ceasefire, and then 79 00:04:15.120 --> 00:04:19.560 there's something that will be pumpini yea or or giving 80 00:04:19.639 --> 00:04:20.360 up entirely? 81 00:04:20.720 --> 00:04:21.439 Is that okay too? 82 00:04:21.800 --> 00:04:21.920 Right? 83 00:04:23.399 --> 00:04:23.800 Weapons? 84 00:04:23.839 --> 00:04:27.680 Very similar? The core allegation made by Israel is that 85 00:04:27.720 --> 00:04:30.560 Iran was about to have a nuclear weapon. It mirrored 86 00:04:30.600 --> 00:04:33.360 almost exactly the false allegations made by bb Net and 87 00:04:33.439 --> 00:04:35.639 Yahoo regarding Iraq in two thousand and two. 88 00:04:36.079 --> 00:04:41.160 There is no question whatsoever that Saddam is seeking and 89 00:04:41.279 --> 00:04:45.759 is working and is advancing towards the development of nuclear weapons, 90 00:04:46.040 --> 00:04:49.560 no question whatsoever, And there is no question that once 91 00:04:49.600 --> 00:04:53.040 he acquires it, history shifts immediately. 92 00:04:54.000 --> 00:04:56.519 There's no question that that was a fib. Director of 93 00:04:56.600 --> 00:04:59.519 National Intelligence Tolsey Gabbert have had a different assessment regarding 94 00:04:59.519 --> 00:05:00.600 Iron's new clear program. 95 00:05:00.639 --> 00:05:01.160 Here's Tulsi. 96 00:05:01.560 --> 00:05:04.079 The IC continues to assess that Iran is not building 97 00:05:04.079 --> 00:05:07.879 a nuclear weapon and Supreme Leader Kamani has not authorized 98 00:05:07.879 --> 00:05:10.759 the nuclear weapons program that he suspended in two thousand 99 00:05:10.759 --> 00:05:11.040 and three. 100 00:05:12.040 --> 00:05:15.680 Regardless of the initial basis for the attack, it's obviously 101 00:05:15.720 --> 00:05:18.319 clear now that this is all about regime change. Israel 102 00:05:18.399 --> 00:05:22.480 won't stop bombing Tehran until the government falls, they won't 103 00:05:22.519 --> 00:05:25.920 stop executing Iran's military and political leadership. They will plunge 104 00:05:25.920 --> 00:05:29.160 a country of ninety million people into chaos, sectarian violence 105 00:05:29.199 --> 00:05:32.560 and civil war. Chaos is already rampant in Iran. ATMs 106 00:05:32.560 --> 00:05:34.639 have stopped working and run on the banks has persisted, 107 00:05:34.680 --> 00:05:37.560 and panic is spreading. You can obviously tell that regime 108 00:05:37.639 --> 00:05:40.319 change is the goal when watching this Net and Yahoo 109 00:05:40.319 --> 00:05:42.680 interview with ABC's Jonathan carl And. 110 00:05:42.600 --> 00:05:44.600 I think it's a larger battle. It's a battle of 111 00:05:44.639 --> 00:05:48.439 civilization against barbarism. This regime is the cult of death. 112 00:05:48.959 --> 00:05:52.160 Don't mistake make any mistakes about it. And sometimes you know, 113 00:05:52.680 --> 00:05:55.399 the forces of civilization have to act before it's too late. 114 00:05:55.560 --> 00:05:58.879 We did, and we're going to remove those threats against 115 00:05:58.879 --> 00:05:59.519 our existence. 116 00:06:00.079 --> 00:06:02.199 The other so, are you going to target the Supreme Leader? 117 00:06:03.560 --> 00:06:05.199 Look, we're doing what we need to do. I'm not 118 00:06:05.240 --> 00:06:08.439 going to get into the details. And this anti Semitic, 119 00:06:08.720 --> 00:06:11.959 mad fanaticism of the Iranian Supreme Leader, he's like a 120 00:06:11.959 --> 00:06:15.560 modern Hitler. He just will not stop. I understand America first, 121 00:06:15.600 --> 00:06:18.800 I don't understand America dead. That's what these people want. 122 00:06:18.879 --> 00:06:21.959 They chant death to America. We're fighting against a regime 123 00:06:22.399 --> 00:06:25.639 that hates us, both that is trying to assassinate us, 124 00:06:25.680 --> 00:06:29.120 both that is trying to bring death and destruction throughout 125 00:06:29.160 --> 00:06:31.920 the Middle East and to the world. It's also bringing freedom, 126 00:06:32.560 --> 00:06:35.199 possibility of freedom to the people of Iran. 127 00:06:36.399 --> 00:06:39.519 When you call someone a modern day hitler, it is 128 00:06:39.560 --> 00:06:42.839 a permission structure to kill them. Today, as President Trump 129 00:06:42.839 --> 00:06:44.600 put out a statement about his current decision and not 130 00:06:44.680 --> 00:06:48.399 eliminator on Supreme Leader, Israel's ambassador to the US reacted 131 00:06:48.639 --> 00:06:50.360 to the President's statement live on CNN. 132 00:06:51.399 --> 00:06:54.319 Here's what he said. We know exactly where the so 133 00:06:54.399 --> 00:06:57.560 called Supreme Leader is hiding. He is an easy target, 134 00:06:57.600 --> 00:06:59.680 but is safe there. We are not going to take 135 00:06:59.720 --> 00:07:03.079 him out kill at least not for now. But we 136 00:07:03.120 --> 00:07:06.959 don't want missiles shot at civilians or American soldiers. Our 137 00:07:07.000 --> 00:07:10.199 patients is wearing thin. Thank you for your attention to 138 00:07:10.560 --> 00:07:13.720 this matter. So what do you make of that no 139 00:07:13.800 --> 00:07:14.920 regime change right now? 140 00:07:16.720 --> 00:07:19.959 Well, I think the Iranian people have to make a 141 00:07:20.000 --> 00:07:21.279 decision about regime change. 142 00:07:21.319 --> 00:07:23.399 It's their country, it's their government. 143 00:07:23.560 --> 00:07:24.800 They have to make the decision. 144 00:07:25.839 --> 00:07:29.879 What the ambassador just said there is deception. It was 145 00:07:30.199 --> 00:07:32.720 definitely different than what you heard from Netanyahu and that's 146 00:07:32.720 --> 00:07:35.560 who's calling the shots. If this were about the nuclear program, 147 00:07:35.600 --> 00:07:37.800 the Prime Minister would have just said that, but you 148 00:07:37.839 --> 00:07:41.240 saw the reaction instead. Look at history. Initially, the Iraq 149 00:07:41.319 --> 00:07:44.680 Wars began when Saddam Hussein invaded Kuwait. That invasion was 150 00:07:44.720 --> 00:07:48.600 repelled successfully but inevitably. Before the American presidency had even 151 00:07:48.680 --> 00:07:51.639 left the grasp of the Bush family, America was back 152 00:07:51.680 --> 00:07:55.000 in Iraq at war, seeking no less than regime change, 153 00:07:55.079 --> 00:07:57.959 and this Iran situation could likely follow a similar path. 154 00:07:58.079 --> 00:08:01.079 Some will argue that this is a good thing, after all. 155 00:08:01.120 --> 00:08:03.879 The argument is true that, however we confront Iran today, 156 00:08:04.000 --> 00:08:06.600 we do confront them without a nuclear weapon. But what 157 00:08:06.759 --> 00:08:08.720 is the plan for the day after? And haven't we 158 00:08:08.839 --> 00:08:12.480 learned enough from history to ask that question before toppling 159 00:08:12.519 --> 00:08:15.199 a country. Saddam Hussein was a bad guy. Did he 160 00:08:15.240 --> 00:08:17.839 want nuclear weapons? Probably? But he didn't have them or 161 00:08:17.920 --> 00:08:21.079 the capacity to make them. We dislodged him anyway, based 162 00:08:21.079 --> 00:08:24.000 on lies from the intelligence community, and it cost America 163 00:08:24.000 --> 00:08:28.480 three trillion dollars. And since we removed Saddam, Iraq hasn't 164 00:08:28.600 --> 00:08:31.160 been more than a camel hair away from civil war. 165 00:08:31.639 --> 00:08:34.320 So what does Iran look like after their government falls 166 00:08:34.799 --> 00:08:37.960 a year after joining US. Now investigative journalists for Oaan's 167 00:08:38.039 --> 00:08:40.240 The Sharp Report. Someone who has lived or spent time 168 00:08:40.240 --> 00:08:42.000 in the Middle East, who knows the region well Pierson, 169 00:08:42.039 --> 00:08:44.279 Sharp Pierson. So what happens the day after? 170 00:08:44.559 --> 00:08:46.960 That's the million dollar question, or in this case, eight 171 00:08:46.960 --> 00:08:50.600 trillion dollar question. We could be leaning into another twenty 172 00:08:50.679 --> 00:08:53.799 year war in this case, and what for? We start 173 00:08:53.840 --> 00:08:56.120 these things with no plan on how to finish them. 174 00:08:56.240 --> 00:09:01.799 We end up holding the bag every single time Iraq, Afghani, Libya, Syria. 175 00:09:01.960 --> 00:09:03.639 None of this has ever turned out well. Give me 176 00:09:03.679 --> 00:09:06.279 a single example where we have gone in and institute 177 00:09:06.279 --> 00:09:10.600 of regime change for the better Germany World War two? 178 00:09:10.679 --> 00:09:12.639 Is that the only country you've ever invaded that turned 179 00:09:12.639 --> 00:09:14.919 out well afterwards? I mean, and that was after the 180 00:09:14.919 --> 00:09:17.679 Soviet Union felt This has never worked out for us ever. 181 00:09:17.879 --> 00:09:20.960 We don't end up getting democracy in any of these countries. 182 00:09:21.000 --> 00:09:22.279 We end up getting terrorists. 183 00:09:22.440 --> 00:09:24.879 And why is that? I mean, you have spent time 184 00:09:24.919 --> 00:09:28.759 in the Middle East. Why is this neo conservative fever 185 00:09:28.879 --> 00:09:33.360 dream that we're going to build democracies out of blood 186 00:09:33.399 --> 00:09:36.279 and sand and Arab militias of fallacy? 187 00:09:36.960 --> 00:09:40.120 Well, I don't know if building democracies was ever the goal. 188 00:09:40.759 --> 00:09:43.639 I think there might be something a lot darker, or 189 00:09:44.159 --> 00:09:46.960 you know, that just gives the conspiracy theorists all the 190 00:09:47.000 --> 00:09:50.480 credibility in the world, because all these countries we've gone into, 191 00:09:51.159 --> 00:09:53.440 none of them had loans with the IMF, and I 192 00:09:53.440 --> 00:09:55.799 think that was the critical aspect, or could be one 193 00:09:55.879 --> 00:09:58.440 of them. Two thousand and two, we invade Iraq. They 194 00:09:58.440 --> 00:10:00.320 didn't have a loan with the IMF, one of the 195 00:10:00.360 --> 00:10:03.759 few countries in the world that didn't. Immediately after the 196 00:10:03.840 --> 00:10:06.759 dust settled, we didn't set up democracy. The first thing 197 00:10:06.799 --> 00:10:09.639 we did, we gave them alone with the IMF. Same 198 00:10:09.679 --> 00:10:12.000 thing with Afghanistan, they were one of the few countries 199 00:10:12.000 --> 00:10:15.200 that didn't have one after the dust settled, gave them alone. 200 00:10:15.679 --> 00:10:17.639 Same thing with Syria, one of the few countries in 201 00:10:17.639 --> 00:10:20.600 the world did not have alone with the IMF. We 202 00:10:20.639 --> 00:10:23.840 invaded institute a regime change twenty fourteen, still ongoing and 203 00:10:23.840 --> 00:10:26.279 now Isis is in charge. You know who else doesn't 204 00:10:26.320 --> 00:10:29.840 have alone with the IMF. Iran, but they do have 205 00:10:29.879 --> 00:10:32.879 three hundred and twenty tons of gold and they are 206 00:10:32.960 --> 00:10:38.360 circumventing the US dollar system successfully. You might add the 207 00:10:38.399 --> 00:10:39.320 other issue, you. 208 00:10:39.279 --> 00:10:41.840 Think so you think this is more about the geopolitical 209 00:10:41.879 --> 00:10:44.840 movement of money than it is about the nuclear program, or. 210 00:10:45.440 --> 00:10:47.360 So, I think that's an excuse. Yeah, we did that 211 00:10:47.360 --> 00:10:49.879 with Libya too. They had one hundred and forty three 212 00:10:49.879 --> 00:10:52.159 tons of gold and Gaddafi was preparing to set up 213 00:10:52.159 --> 00:10:54.799 a system with the dinar in Africa to circumvent the 214 00:10:54.879 --> 00:10:58.360 US dollar. We went in, destroyed them. Isis took over. 215 00:10:58.480 --> 00:11:00.679 Now there's slave markets and one hundred forty three tons 216 00:11:00.679 --> 00:11:01.720 of gold disappeared. 217 00:11:02.080 --> 00:11:06.159 If I'm right that Israel will use US strikes as 218 00:11:06.240 --> 00:11:09.720 a permission structure to execute the government and throw Iran 219 00:11:09.759 --> 00:11:12.679 into civil war, how do you think that will impact 220 00:11:12.679 --> 00:11:13.679 the region more broadly? 221 00:11:14.480 --> 00:11:16.639 I mean, in every case we've ever seen, it just 222 00:11:16.639 --> 00:11:18.639 destabilizes it. I have no idea. 223 00:11:18.480 --> 00:11:21.559 Iraq, Syria. Do you think that those governments can can 224 00:11:22.159 --> 00:11:25.279 maintain their existence if you've got some mass migration of 225 00:11:25.360 --> 00:11:29.320 people out of Iran, and if you've got just overall 226 00:11:30.080 --> 00:11:31.080 downgrading of the nation. 227 00:11:31.279 --> 00:11:34.240 I mean, this is just like in just like in Iraq. 228 00:11:34.480 --> 00:11:38.879 This is a destabilizing force. And if we take out Iran, 229 00:11:39.279 --> 00:11:41.679 we're going to have, like you said, mass migration, people 230 00:11:41.759 --> 00:11:43.360 in chaos. But that's what we want, because then you 231 00:11:43.399 --> 00:11:45.320 don't have someone to resist. You can go in and 232 00:11:45.320 --> 00:11:47.720 you can put in a puppet who supports whoever, who's 233 00:11:47.759 --> 00:11:49.799 friendly to whoever. But you have to consider that doesn't 234 00:11:49.840 --> 00:11:52.360 always work out, like a can't even keep their puppets. 235 00:11:52.519 --> 00:11:53.200 Well, no, we can't. 236 00:11:53.240 --> 00:11:56.159 And they're leaning Iraq today is leaning towards Iran of 237 00:11:56.200 --> 00:11:56.840 all places. 238 00:11:57.279 --> 00:12:00.759 Yeah, and it shows the fallacy of these strategies. There 239 00:12:00.799 --> 00:12:03.200 are some who will say, look, we can go bomb 240 00:12:03.240 --> 00:12:06.679 some nuclear sites, fly home, and there is an argument 241 00:12:06.759 --> 00:12:09.960 that Bill Clinton had a lot of things right regarding 242 00:12:09.960 --> 00:12:12.639 his counter terrorism strategy. He didn't get us involved in 243 00:12:12.679 --> 00:12:16.159 a lot of boots on the ground entanglements, but he 244 00:12:16.240 --> 00:12:19.960 kind of mowed the grass by flying over im occasionally 245 00:12:20.559 --> 00:12:23.919 flying home, not becoming the blo tangle handles. 246 00:12:24.000 --> 00:12:24.200 Yeah. 247 00:12:24.279 --> 00:12:27.120 Right, So there is there a feature of this that 248 00:12:27.200 --> 00:12:29.679 gives you any hope that that could be the resolution. 249 00:12:29.919 --> 00:12:32.600 We bomb some nuclear sites, we fly home, and then 250 00:12:32.720 --> 00:12:35.360 and then hopefully some sense of deterrence as were set. 251 00:12:36.159 --> 00:12:39.720 I would certainly hope that, I'm not hopeful that that 252 00:12:39.799 --> 00:12:41.440 will be the outcome. I can hope that is it. 253 00:12:41.840 --> 00:12:44.679 But what we've seen so far is that we go 254 00:12:44.759 --> 00:12:46.879 in and we just take these places apart piece by piece, 255 00:12:46.960 --> 00:12:48.879 brick by brick, and I think that's what Israel wants. 256 00:12:49.080 --> 00:12:51.799 They have said repeatedly that they want regime change any Iran. 257 00:12:52.039 --> 00:12:54.279 Is that good for Israel? Like forget I mean, I 258 00:12:54.279 --> 00:12:56.360 don't think it's good for the United States, But is 259 00:12:56.399 --> 00:13:00.039 it even good for Israel? Because I worry that the 260 00:13:00.240 --> 00:13:03.960 campaigns that they're on could stoke considerably more anti Israel 261 00:13:04.639 --> 00:13:07.440 sentiment at a time when President trumpets so much momentum 262 00:13:07.480 --> 00:13:08.440 for the Abraham Accords. 263 00:13:08.600 --> 00:13:11.519 Yeah, I agree, they have a lot of support in Congress, though, 264 00:13:11.600 --> 00:13:13.919 and I think that they'll get the support they need 265 00:13:13.960 --> 00:13:16.600 when they need it if this goes south, and they 266 00:13:16.600 --> 00:13:19.639 always have so I don't see it as a good 267 00:13:19.679 --> 00:13:21.799 move for them in the broadest sense that it's just 268 00:13:21.799 --> 00:13:24.559 going to destabilize the region. But when does that ever 269 00:13:24.600 --> 00:13:25.480 stop them? 270 00:13:25.840 --> 00:13:30.840 If these strikes don't end the nuclear program, then what, well, 271 00:13:31.159 --> 00:13:33.279 obviously it escalates, it escalates from there. 272 00:13:33.840 --> 00:13:37.519 The problem is, and I may be naive on this, 273 00:13:37.600 --> 00:13:40.159 but I don't see an issue with Iran having a 274 00:13:40.240 --> 00:13:43.080 nuclear program. One right now, they've only got sixty percent 275 00:13:43.159 --> 00:13:46.399 uranium you need ninety percent. It's not been enriched. Plus 276 00:13:46.480 --> 00:13:48.519 you need a delivery system, they don't have that. Then 277 00:13:48.519 --> 00:13:50.799 you need tests. They don't have that either. So I 278 00:13:50.799 --> 00:13:54.200 think we're getting a false narrative about the expediency of 279 00:13:54.200 --> 00:13:57.799 their program in order to enable this attack. I'm not 280 00:13:57.840 --> 00:13:59.759 sure what's behind that, but it's not necessary. 281 00:14:00.039 --> 00:14:01.759 Let me disagree with you. I don't want Iran to 282 00:14:01.759 --> 00:14:03.679 have a nuclear weapon. I don't want Israel to have 283 00:14:03.679 --> 00:14:05.559 one either. By the way, right, I wonder when we're 284 00:14:05.559 --> 00:14:08.000 going to have a candid discussion about the status of 285 00:14:08.039 --> 00:14:11.159 the nuclear program in Israel. But but I am against 286 00:14:11.320 --> 00:14:15.840 nuclear proliferation broadly. I reject that US bombers is going 287 00:14:15.840 --> 00:14:18.000 to starve the problem. Are the mechanism by which to 288 00:14:18.039 --> 00:14:19.440 achieve that solution? Yeah? 289 00:14:19.480 --> 00:14:21.919 I don't know how you stop them, but at some 290 00:14:22.000 --> 00:14:23.799 point you also have to ask is that our job 291 00:14:23.879 --> 00:14:27.240 to stop them? I mean, why are we the world police? 292 00:14:27.240 --> 00:14:29.279 Why are we getting involved? Why are we fighting Israel's war? 293 00:14:29.279 --> 00:14:30.600 Why are we fighting anybody's war? 294 00:14:30.960 --> 00:14:33.120 This has nothing to do with us. We are two 295 00:14:33.240 --> 00:14:35.600 peace Love and Bros. Pearson Sharp of the Sharp Report 296 00:14:35.639 --> 00:14:38.039 here on One American News.

The answer is that all three platforms 327 00:16:42.360 --> 00:16:45.200 offer you the ability to live stream One America News 328 00:16:45.200 --> 00:16:49.639 Network from your Roku TV, Apple TV, or Amazon Fire device. 329 00:16:50.360 --> 00:16:54.159 Simply go to the app store, search out FORAAN, then 330 00:16:54.240 --> 00:16:58.360 enjoy all the great programming offered BYN, including my show 331 00:16:58.559 --> 00:16:59.559 Real America. 332 00:17:06.759 --> 00:17:09.039 Welcome back to our continuing coverage of the war between 333 00:17:09.079 --> 00:17:12.480 Israel and Iran. President Trump has assembled his national security team. 334 00:17:12.559 --> 00:17:16.400 He's certainly reviewing all options and communicating those to the country. 335 00:17:16.680 --> 00:17:19.400 We know with certainty that President Trump sees the follies 336 00:17:19.480 --> 00:17:22.839 of the Bush and Obama years of forever wars as 337 00:17:22.880 --> 00:17:25.000 a big fat mistake. 338 00:17:25.640 --> 00:17:29.960 Obviously, the war in Iraq was a big fat mistake. 339 00:17:30.279 --> 00:17:33.400 George Bush made a mistake. We can make mistakes, but 340 00:17:33.440 --> 00:17:36.119 that one was a beauty. We should have never been 341 00:17:36.200 --> 00:17:39.440 in a wreck. We have destabilized the Middle East. They lied, 342 00:17:39.839 --> 00:17:43.000 They said there were weapons of mass destruction. There were none. 343 00:17:44.359 --> 00:17:47.160 Now, Congressional anti war members Thomas Massey and Rocana have 344 00:17:47.200 --> 00:17:51.079 teamed up to introduce legislation to constrain hostilities toward Iran 345 00:17:51.400 --> 00:17:54.799 until there is a congressional declaration of war. This is 346 00:17:54.799 --> 00:17:56.799 playing out as the United States Senate works to send 347 00:17:56.880 --> 00:18:00.319 legislation of the House to pass President Trump's agenda. Joining 348 00:18:00.400 --> 00:18:03.440 US now Missouri a Republican Congressman Eric Burlison, Congressman. I 349 00:18:03.440 --> 00:18:05.599 guess we'll start at the top. What's your take on 350 00:18:05.640 --> 00:18:07.240 America's impending strikes on Iran? 351 00:18:08.920 --> 00:18:12.759 Yeah, I look, I think Trump has demonstrated that great 352 00:18:12.799 --> 00:18:16.359 patience here and I think that his goal is to 353 00:18:16.440 --> 00:18:19.119 bring peace in that that region. I don't think his 354 00:18:19.240 --> 00:18:22.039 goal is to try to strike Iran. It's to make 355 00:18:22.079 --> 00:18:26.160 sure that Iran and their posture and their their animosity 356 00:18:26.200 --> 00:18:29.680 and their their accentear come to an end. And I 357 00:18:29.680 --> 00:18:33.720 think that I think that that I give Trump the 358 00:18:33.799 --> 00:18:36.279 latitude to to know. 359 00:18:36.279 --> 00:18:38.759 How to how to balance this and how to how. 360 00:18:38.599 --> 00:18:40.480 To approach this in such a way where we do 361 00:18:40.599 --> 00:18:43.720 not end up involved in a forever war in Iran, 362 00:18:44.039 --> 00:18:47.240 or even even having to put any boots on the 363 00:18:47.240 --> 00:18:50.720 ground that would be inconceivable for many of us. But 364 00:18:51.279 --> 00:18:54.920 find a way to put enough pressure on Iran so 365 00:18:55.000 --> 00:18:56.920 that they do come to the table and they finally 366 00:18:57.240 --> 00:19:02.119 agree to end their nuclear enrichment aspirations. 367 00:19:03.079 --> 00:19:06.680 Congressman, what's the best evidence you've seen regarding how long 368 00:19:06.720 --> 00:19:08.920 it would take iron to get to a nuclear weapon 369 00:19:08.960 --> 00:19:10.640 that was that was deployable. 370 00:19:11.880 --> 00:19:15.000 You know, I'm not on the Intel Committee and so 371 00:19:15.759 --> 00:19:18.839 and I'm not on you know, you're on House Arms Services. 372 00:19:19.039 --> 00:19:20.680 I'm not on one of those committees. So I don't 373 00:19:20.680 --> 00:19:25.119 see direct evidence. But I do trust that Trump has 374 00:19:25.160 --> 00:19:28.079 seen that information, and I don't think that he would 375 00:19:28.079 --> 00:19:33.079 take that that lightly. It's clear that he's he's acting 376 00:19:33.119 --> 00:19:34.759 based on information that he has. 377 00:19:35.039 --> 00:19:39.640 If Israel completes their decapitation strikes and takes out the 378 00:19:39.680 --> 00:19:42.519 major portions of the Iranian government and that country falls 379 00:19:42.559 --> 00:19:45.039 into a civil war, do you think there'll be any 380 00:19:45.039 --> 00:19:46.880 way for America to stay out of it. 381 00:19:49.319 --> 00:19:51.519 I don't think that we should get involved in any way. 382 00:19:51.559 --> 00:19:53.880 I mean, at the end of the day, we have 383 00:19:54.319 --> 00:19:57.880 all of these times where regimes have been completely toppled. 384 00:19:58.240 --> 00:20:02.000 They've left a vacuum, and all the money that we spend, 385 00:20:02.079 --> 00:20:05.880 we ultimately end up just enriching the people. 386 00:20:05.799 --> 00:20:08.559 And some of the terrorists that come in and take over. 387 00:20:08.720 --> 00:20:12.799 So look, we left what was eighty billion dollars in 388 00:20:12.880 --> 00:20:16.880 military grade equipment to the Taliban when we left Afghanistan. 389 00:20:18.160 --> 00:20:22.519 In in Iraq right right, we've left a tremendous amount 390 00:20:22.559 --> 00:20:27.160 of money wasted money and infrastructure and building up that presence. 391 00:20:27.200 --> 00:20:30.440 I don't think that just because I think that just 392 00:20:30.480 --> 00:20:33.160 because something is topled doesn't mean that we have to 393 00:20:33.160 --> 00:20:35.319 get involved in fixing it. 394 00:20:36.400 --> 00:20:40.079 Your colleagues Rocana and Thomas Massey have introduced legislation to 395 00:20:40.240 --> 00:20:43.759 demand vote in the Congress regarding the declaration of war 396 00:20:43.799 --> 00:20:47.359 against Iran. What can you tell us about the prospects 397 00:20:47.400 --> 00:20:50.240 of that legislation passing and would you vote for it? 398 00:20:51.440 --> 00:20:53.160 You know, I don't know where we stand, and I 399 00:20:53.240 --> 00:20:55.279 think that if we were going to take that vote, 400 00:20:55.279 --> 00:20:58.359 I would want to be grieved about what's going on 401 00:20:58.759 --> 00:21:02.799
