1
00:00:20,760 --> 00:00:25,079
Speaker 1: And welcome to the Big Podcast. Happy.

2
00:00:25,199 --> 00:00:25,960
Speaker 2: What is today?

3
00:00:26,000 --> 00:00:30,160
Speaker 1: Today's Wednesday, the eighteenth day of June. Year of our War,

4
00:00:30,239 --> 00:00:34,240
twenty twenty five. My name is Tom Sullivan, So we

5
00:00:34,359 --> 00:00:37,320
have Yes, the war is still or the potential war,

6
00:00:37,439 --> 00:00:41,320
the continuing war, however you want to describe. It is

7
00:00:41,640 --> 00:00:44,119
still the top story today. But it's not so much

8
00:00:44,240 --> 00:00:49,679
about who shot what or what projects were damaged. It's

9
00:00:49,719 --> 00:00:55,560
about who supports the United States getting involved versus those

10
00:00:55,600 --> 00:00:58,000
who do not want us to get involved in any way,

11
00:00:58,000 --> 00:01:02,960
shape or form. And it really comes down to the

12
00:01:03,159 --> 00:01:05,640
I told you the other day about the MEGA I

13
00:01:05,719 --> 00:01:07,239
was the the first one to tell you about it

14
00:01:07,280 --> 00:01:09,640
on Monday, the fact that there's a split in MAGA,

15
00:01:10,359 --> 00:01:12,319
and I'm not even sure if you can call both

16
00:01:12,319 --> 00:01:16,519
sides mega anymore. The MEGA crowd very much is upset

17
00:01:16,560 --> 00:01:21,239
that Donald Trump is even considering any sort of engagement

18
00:01:21,359 --> 00:01:25,920
in this war against Iran, they claim, and I think

19
00:01:25,959 --> 00:01:28,959
they're right. They voted for Donald Trump because he said

20
00:01:29,079 --> 00:01:32,120
I want out of foreign wars, I want out of

21
00:01:32,239 --> 00:01:35,040
endless wars. I don't want anything to do with that.

22
00:01:35,480 --> 00:01:39,640
And there's a number of people within the MAGA side

23
00:01:39,640 --> 00:01:43,879
of the Republican Party that are very much in favor

24
00:01:43,920 --> 00:01:48,879
of isolationism. And listen, if you look at the history

25
00:01:48,920 --> 00:01:51,799
of isolation as countries, it never turns out well. But

26
00:01:52,200 --> 00:01:55,599
it's been tried many, many times. And that is where

27
00:01:56,519 --> 00:02:01,879
the wing of the MAGA they don't want anything to

28
00:02:01,920 --> 00:02:04,760
do with us getting involved in this war against Iran.

29
00:02:05,400 --> 00:02:07,719
Now you've got another and that, by the way, that

30
00:02:07,920 --> 00:02:14,159
is led by Tucker Carlson, and boy Tucker's getting a

31
00:02:14,199 --> 00:02:18,680
lot of grief from Republicans that are opposed to his

32
00:02:18,840 --> 00:02:24,599
views of Ari Fleischer, many of them calling him all

33
00:02:24,680 --> 00:02:27,960
kinds of terrible names. So he's not making any friends

34
00:02:28,000 --> 00:02:30,120
out of this. And he and Steve bannoner kind of

35
00:02:30,159 --> 00:02:32,719
on the same page. On the other side of the

36
00:02:32,719 --> 00:02:36,120
coin is the President, and there's others as well, the

37
00:02:36,360 --> 00:02:39,840
Ari Fleischer's and more of the I don't want to

38
00:02:39,879 --> 00:02:45,680
say traditional Republican crowd, but not isolationists. Let me put

39
00:02:45,680 --> 00:02:49,199
it that way. They're not even hawks, they're.

40
00:02:48,960 --> 00:02:49,840
Speaker 3: Not pro war.

41
00:02:50,000 --> 00:02:53,039
Speaker 1: It's just that they're looking at this and saying this

42
00:02:53,560 --> 00:02:57,879
is an opportunity handed to the world on a silver planter.

43
00:02:58,439 --> 00:03:03,680
Iran has since nineteen seventy nine when they took up

44
00:03:03,719 --> 00:03:07,680
when the Iotola marched in to Tehran and took over

45
00:03:07,800 --> 00:03:10,879
our embassy and the Shaw and his people ran for

46
00:03:10,919 --> 00:03:15,039
their lives. Since then, Iran has done nothing but build

47
00:03:15,120 --> 00:03:20,879
up proxies and they're the number one supporter of terrorism

48
00:03:21,159 --> 00:03:25,479
in the world. So I'm not quite sure why anybody

49
00:03:25,520 --> 00:03:28,479
would be for them, but they don't want us to

50
00:03:28,520 --> 00:03:32,800
get involved with that. It comes down to can Israel

51
00:03:32,840 --> 00:03:35,280
handle this on their own? And we've got some people

52
00:03:35,280 --> 00:03:38,520
that know what they're talking about to chime in on

53
00:03:38,599 --> 00:03:42,719
all of this. Let me start though, with Harry Entton,

54
00:03:42,879 --> 00:03:48,199
the statistician over at CNN, because Harry has a breakdown

55
00:03:48,280 --> 00:03:52,719
exactly how the support for our involvement in this war,

56
00:03:54,120 --> 00:03:56,400
how it stacks up on this Wednesday.

57
00:03:57,120 --> 00:03:57,319
Speaker 4: Yeah.

58
00:03:57,360 --> 00:03:59,680
Speaker 5: Look, I think it's a complicated picture overall, but on

59
00:03:59,719 --> 00:04:02,439
this Tickler question and overall, I feel like there's more

60
00:04:02,439 --> 00:04:05,639
support for Donald Trump's positions than is comically acknowledged opposer

61
00:04:05,719 --> 00:04:07,599
Ran getting a nuclear weapon. I mean, look at this,

62
00:04:07,919 --> 00:04:10,080
Seventy nine percent of adults agree on that they agree

63
00:04:10,080 --> 00:04:12,199
with Donald Trump and Ron cannot get a nuclear weapon,

64
00:04:12,360 --> 00:04:15,439
eighty three percent of Republicans, seventy nine percent of independence,

65
00:04:15,719 --> 00:04:18,160
seventy nine percent of Democrats. When you get seventy nine

66
00:04:18,160 --> 00:04:21,079
percent of Democrats and eighty three percent of Republicans agreeing

67
00:04:21,079 --> 00:04:23,800
on anything. You know that that position is the very

68
00:04:23,879 --> 00:04:26,319
clear majority in this country. And so the American public

69
00:04:26,480 --> 00:04:29,360
is with Donald Trump. They definitely oppose in Ron getting

70
00:04:29,560 --> 00:04:32,759
nuclear weapons, right, if you buy Donald Trump's theory of

71
00:04:32,759 --> 00:04:34,439
the case. And I think that's important to note, this

72
00:04:34,480 --> 00:04:37,439
is polling far from April for RAN's trying to make

73
00:04:37,480 --> 00:04:38,319
a nuclear weapon.

74
00:04:38,319 --> 00:04:40,160
Speaker 3: Look at this overall, you get.

75
00:04:40,040 --> 00:04:42,000
Speaker 6: The slight plurality, I mean it's within the margin amber,

76
00:04:42,079 --> 00:04:45,040
but the slight plurality of Americans actually favor US air

77
00:04:45,040 --> 00:04:47,600
strikes compared to forty seven percent of posing it. Now

78
00:04:47,680 --> 00:04:49,839
here's the other Nugget'll note right, there's been a lot

79
00:04:49,839 --> 00:04:53,360
of talk online and on social media and in podcasts

80
00:04:53,360 --> 00:04:55,959
of a divide within the Republican ranks. But here on

81
00:04:56,000 --> 00:04:57,959
this question, if for RAN's trying to make a nuclear weapon,

82
00:04:58,040 --> 00:05:00,839
look at that sixty nine percent of rep Republicans, The

83
00:05:00,920 --> 00:05:04,199
clear vast majority of Republicans favor US air strikes on

84
00:05:04,240 --> 00:05:07,040
Iran on their nuclear facilities. But there is this substantial

85
00:05:07,040 --> 00:05:10,040
minority twenty seven percent, who oppose such an idea. So

86
00:05:10,079 --> 00:05:12,920
it's not surprising you're hearing those other voices Besides Donald

87
00:05:12,920 --> 00:05:14,879
Trump out there, there are plenty of them in the

88
00:05:14,920 --> 00:05:18,959
Republican ranks who oppose striking the US striking Iran if

89
00:05:18,959 --> 00:05:21,720
they're trying to make a nuclear weapon. But the clear majority,

90
00:05:21,959 --> 00:05:25,240
the clear majority of Republicans are with Donald Trump if

91
00:05:25,279 --> 00:05:27,360
in fact Iran is trying to make nuclear weapons. They do,

92
00:05:27,399 --> 00:05:30,199
in fact potentially favor US air strikes. So you know

93
00:05:30,240 --> 00:05:32,879
we're talking about you can favor one thing, but you

94
00:05:32,920 --> 00:05:36,839
could also favor another thing. More so, Yes, the US

95
00:05:36,920 --> 00:05:39,920
public plurality and the vast majority of Republicans would favor

96
00:05:40,040 --> 00:05:41,399
US air strikes if i Ran is trying to make

97
00:05:41,399 --> 00:05:44,279
a nuclear weapon. But what do they prefer to limit

98
00:05:44,279 --> 00:05:47,160
the risk of Iran making nuclear weapons? The American public

99
00:05:47,199 --> 00:05:51,040
prefers what they prefer a negotiated agreement. Sixty nine percent,

100
00:05:51,319 --> 00:05:54,759
sixty nine percent of the American public prefer negotiated agreement

101
00:05:54,800 --> 00:05:58,079
as compared to fourteen percent who prefer taking military action.

102
00:05:58,399 --> 00:06:01,160
I will not, Sarah Seiner that this sixty nine percent

103
00:06:01,199 --> 00:06:04,000
includes sixty four percent of Republicans. So even there, even

104
00:06:04,040 --> 00:06:07,959
if Republicans, the clear majority would in fact support airstrikes

105
00:06:08,000 --> 00:06:09,560
on around US airstrikes on a run.

106
00:06:09,639 --> 00:06:11,639
Speaker 3: They prefer a negotiated agreement.

107
00:06:12,079 --> 00:06:14,160
Speaker 1: So those are the numbers, and then the question come

108
00:06:14,240 --> 00:06:16,920
down to who are these people that do not want

109
00:06:16,959 --> 00:06:21,519
to support Donald Trump on participating in this war. One

110
00:06:21,560 --> 00:06:26,160
of them is Congressman Tim Burchett from Tennessee. I mean,

111
00:06:26,160 --> 00:06:29,600
he was asked, does he have any interest in the

112
00:06:29,759 --> 00:06:33,680
United States getting involved with Israel on this war against Iran?

113
00:06:34,480 --> 00:06:35,079
Speaker 2: Very little.

114
00:06:35,720 --> 00:06:39,040
Speaker 7: We give Israel about four million dollars a year and

115
00:06:39,720 --> 00:06:42,079
other military assets.

116
00:06:42,120 --> 00:06:44,240
Speaker 2: I think we should allow them to fight this thing.

117
00:06:45,079 --> 00:06:47,160
I share. Basically that's rage front war.

118
00:06:47,279 --> 00:06:50,720
Speaker 7: You know, we were involved with with Ukraine and then

119
00:06:50,800 --> 00:06:54,759
we pull out from around Taiwan and that exposes them

120
00:06:54,839 --> 00:06:57,759
to China. That's something that China would love to see.

121
00:06:58,360 --> 00:07:01,120
And you know, we don't need another endless war in

122
00:07:01,160 --> 00:07:04,040
the Middle East. I think Israel has the capabilities. They've

123
00:07:04,120 --> 00:07:07,480
shown they have the technology and the intelligence. You know,

124
00:07:07,600 --> 00:07:11,399
taking out three of their top people is a good thing.

125
00:07:11,399 --> 00:07:14,360
And of course those eye tollers are going to say

126
00:07:14,360 --> 00:07:17,480
that they're hiding out in some caves somewhere and they're

127
00:07:17,480 --> 00:07:20,360
going to you know, old people make all men make decisions,

128
00:07:20,360 --> 00:07:23,120
and young men die and that's the history of war.

129
00:07:23,120 --> 00:07:25,959
I would warn folks, though, that we need to vote about,

130
00:07:26,160 --> 00:07:28,399
we need to do about what's right and not what

131
00:07:28,480 --> 00:07:32,000
our stock portfolios say, because a lot of this military

132
00:07:32,040 --> 00:07:35,120
assets is a lot of people vote for these things

133
00:07:35,160 --> 00:07:38,800
because they have jobs in their districts. And that's just

134
00:07:38,839 --> 00:07:40,560
the cold hard facts of warfare.

135
00:07:41,399 --> 00:07:43,560
Speaker 8: So you say you would like to see very little

136
00:07:43,959 --> 00:07:47,360
US involvement. There are Republicans Lindsay Graham and others who

137
00:07:47,439 --> 00:07:51,839
say that around nuclear capabilities are a threat to the

138
00:07:51,959 --> 00:07:54,920
United States, not just Israel, but to the US, and

139
00:07:54,959 --> 00:07:58,439
that the US is the only country with the capability

140
00:07:58,480 --> 00:08:01,639
to take out the nuclear rich facility in Forido. What

141
00:08:01,680 --> 00:08:02,600
do you say to that.

142
00:08:05,600 --> 00:08:08,319
Speaker 7: They can't get past grease with their missiles. I think

143
00:08:08,319 --> 00:08:11,279
if they had, they wouldn't already launched them. That's pretty evident.

144
00:08:11,480 --> 00:08:14,360
And their last missile missile strike, I think they put

145
00:08:14,439 --> 00:08:17,160
two of their major missiles in the air. That tells

146
00:08:17,199 --> 00:08:21,800
me they're just about out. And your previous your previous

147
00:08:21,839 --> 00:08:25,199
expert talked about their apparatus was inoperable. That means that

148
00:08:25,279 --> 00:08:28,480
Israelis blew the hell out of it on the ground. Again,

149
00:08:29,079 --> 00:08:32,519
I think we need to take a deep breath and

150
00:08:32,600 --> 00:08:35,240
slow down this thing and let the Israelis do their thing.

151
00:08:35,559 --> 00:08:37,799
Speaker 2: And that's and ultimately that's what's going to bring them

152
00:08:37,799 --> 00:08:40,720
to the negotiating table. We, like I said, we do

153
00:08:40,840 --> 00:08:44,639
not need another endless war. The white weapons of mass destruction.

154
00:08:44,799 --> 00:08:47,039
I'm pretty confident there.

155
00:08:47,039 --> 00:08:51,120
Speaker 7: Iran has those capabilities of nuclear war, but they can't

156
00:08:51,120 --> 00:08:53,240
get to us. And I think the Israelis are doing

157
00:08:53,279 --> 00:08:56,919
a great job right now of eliminating any threat, and

158
00:08:56,960 --> 00:08:59,679
I think we should allow them to do that well.

159
00:09:00,120 --> 00:09:04,080
On war pimps. You know, Lindsey Graham's a friend of mine.

160
00:09:04,200 --> 00:09:06,840
Ted Creues is a friend of mine. I just look,

161
00:09:06,879 --> 00:09:09,399
I got a daughter just turned eighteen last week, on

162
00:09:09,440 --> 00:09:11,720
the same day as the president did in the United

163
00:09:11,720 --> 00:09:12,399
States Army.

164
00:09:13,000 --> 00:09:14,279
Speaker 2: I don't want to see her go to war.

165
00:09:14,399 --> 00:09:16,320
Speaker 7: My daddy fought in the Second World War. Now, my

166
00:09:16,360 --> 00:09:18,399
mama flew an airplane there in the Second War. She

167
00:09:18,440 --> 00:09:21,519
lost her brother to the day she died. Every time

168
00:09:21,519 --> 00:09:24,159
they unfurled that flag, she would tear up. And that

169
00:09:24,320 --> 00:09:27,679
was for a just cause. I just don't see American

170
00:09:27,679 --> 00:09:30,919
boys and girls going to a far away land that

171
00:09:31,159 --> 00:09:33,919
many of us can't even find on a map. Again,

172
00:09:34,320 --> 00:09:38,080
it's it's Israeli. The Israelis can handle this thing. Let's

173
00:09:38,200 --> 00:09:40,440
let them handle it. We do not need a three

174
00:09:40,480 --> 00:09:43,519
front war in our lifetime right now. I just don't

175
00:09:43,519 --> 00:09:46,919
think that's a that's the route to go. They'll be

176
00:09:47,120 --> 00:09:50,120
room for the day. But I think we ought to

177
00:09:50,200 --> 00:09:52,559
let the president do is negotiating skills. That's what I

178
00:09:52,600 --> 00:09:53,279
elected him to do.

179
00:09:53,440 --> 00:09:58,320
Speaker 1: Yeah, okay, So that was Congressman Tim Burchett from he's

180
00:09:58,320 --> 00:10:02,879
a Republican from Tennessee. On the Democrat side, Tim Kaine

181
00:10:03,080 --> 00:10:06,240
from Virginia, he says, hey, wait a minute, there's a

182
00:10:06,480 --> 00:10:09,240
clause in the Constitution that we have to pay attention to.

183
00:10:09,720 --> 00:10:13,240
Speaker 9: There's no part of the Constitution it's more important than

184
00:10:13,279 --> 00:10:17,480
the Article one provisions making plane that the United States

185
00:10:17,480 --> 00:10:19,919
should not be at war without a vote of Congress.

186
00:10:21,000 --> 00:10:24,679
And yet the news of the day suggests that we

187
00:10:24,720 --> 00:10:28,039
are potentially on the verge of a war with Iran.

188
00:10:29,559 --> 00:10:31,840
Speaker 1: So this debate over should we get involved or not?

189
00:10:32,240 --> 00:10:36,080
It winds up in the Wall Street journalist Rupert Murdoch publication.

190
00:10:36,279 --> 00:10:41,519
They've been day after day pushing hard for the President

191
00:10:41,559 --> 00:10:45,919
to get involved. They are urging President Trump not to

192
00:10:46,000 --> 00:10:49,519
go the Biden route, as they call it pushing to

193
00:10:49,759 --> 00:10:53,120
end the nuclear threat by going all the way and

194
00:10:53,159 --> 00:10:57,559
defending our number one ally in the Middle East. And

195
00:10:57,600 --> 00:10:59,720
the question has been brought up. General Kean brought it

196
00:10:59,799 --> 00:11:03,000
up yesterday. If we don't defend them, what about all

197
00:11:03,039 --> 00:11:05,200
of our other allies around the world. Will they look

198
00:11:05,240 --> 00:11:07,440
at us and say, well, are you going to bail

199
00:11:07,519 --> 00:11:11,600
on supporting us when we need you. Iran is already

200
00:11:11,679 --> 00:11:15,879
hinting by the way that they have a nuke and

201
00:11:15,919 --> 00:11:19,320
they're kind of just leaving that out there for people

202
00:11:19,399 --> 00:11:24,639
to stew on. So the question is is the president negotiating?

203
00:11:25,799 --> 00:11:28,919
He says, nobody knows what he wants to do. He

204
00:11:29,080 --> 00:11:34,039
had kind of a many news conference today out in

205
00:11:34,080 --> 00:11:36,480
the Rose Garden. They're putting up on the White House.

206
00:11:36,919 --> 00:11:40,559
He's installing two flagpoles, one on the north lawn, one

207
00:11:40,600 --> 00:11:42,519
on the south lawn. So he's out there with all

208
00:11:42,559 --> 00:11:46,919
the construction guys putting up the flagpoles, and reporters were

209
00:11:46,919 --> 00:11:50,759
there and asked him questions. I'll play just a little

210
00:11:50,759 --> 00:11:53,840
bit that pertains to the question about what's he going

211
00:11:53,919 --> 00:11:59,000
to do regarding Iran, and then at the end of

212
00:11:59,039 --> 00:12:02,080
this podcast up the whole thing because it's probably twenty

213
00:12:02,120 --> 00:12:05,320
minutes something like that. But here how the President responded

214
00:12:05,360 --> 00:12:08,240
to some of the reporters questions about getting involved in

215
00:12:08,279 --> 00:12:10,200
this war between Israel and Iran.

216
00:12:10,679 --> 00:12:14,039
Speaker 10: You even to answered questions about whether you are moving

217
00:12:14,080 --> 00:12:16,799
closer you believe the US is moving closer to striking

218
00:12:16,840 --> 00:12:18,720
Iranian nuclear facilities?

219
00:12:18,720 --> 00:12:19,840
Speaker 8: Where's your mindset on that?

220
00:12:19,879 --> 00:12:20,960
Speaker 3: You're going to say that? Right?

221
00:12:21,399 --> 00:12:23,519
Speaker 11: You don't seriously think I'm going to answer that question?

222
00:12:24,039 --> 00:12:28,960
Will you strike the Iranian nuclear component? And what time exactly?

223
00:12:29,000 --> 00:12:30,240
Speaker 3: Sir sir?

224
00:12:30,279 --> 00:12:32,840
Speaker 11: Would you strike it? Would you please inform us so

225
00:12:32,879 --> 00:12:35,480
we can be there or watch. I mean, you don't

226
00:12:35,519 --> 00:12:36,039
know that I'm going.

227
00:12:36,039 --> 00:12:37,320
Speaker 3: To even do it. You don't know.

228
00:12:37,360 --> 00:12:39,039
Speaker 11: I may do it, I may not do it. I mean,

229
00:12:39,039 --> 00:12:40,679
nobody knows what I'm going to do. I can tell

230
00:12:40,720 --> 00:12:45,519
you this that Iran's got a lot of trouble and

231
00:12:45,559 --> 00:12:48,559
they want to negotiate. And I said, why didn't you

232
00:12:48,600 --> 00:12:51,919
negotiate with me before all this death and destruction?

233
00:12:52,039 --> 00:12:52,759
Speaker 3: Why didn't you nego?

234
00:12:52,879 --> 00:12:55,480
Speaker 11: I said to the people, why didn't you negotiate with

235
00:12:55,600 --> 00:12:56,440
me two weeks ago?

236
00:12:57,240 --> 00:12:59,960
Speaker 3: You could have done fine. He would have had a contry.

237
00:13:01,480 --> 00:13:04,000
Speaker 11: It's very sad to watch this I mean, I've never

238
00:13:04,159 --> 00:13:05,399
I've never seen anything like it.

239
00:13:05,600 --> 00:13:07,960
Speaker 3: So you everyone thought it was going to be the reverse.

240
00:13:08,000 --> 00:13:09,759
I didn't. I didn't think so.

241
00:13:09,759 --> 00:13:12,200
Speaker 1: So that was just the first part of his answering

242
00:13:12,279 --> 00:13:15,440
the questions out there again. I'll play the whole unedited

243
00:13:15,480 --> 00:13:18,240
back and forth with the White House Press Corps at

244
00:13:18,279 --> 00:13:22,159
the end of the podcast today. So he's got to

245
00:13:22,159 --> 00:13:24,960
make a decision. He's not going to say. He's saying

246
00:13:25,000 --> 00:13:28,279
I may do it, I may not do it. There's

247
00:13:28,279 --> 00:13:30,919
a lot of advisors that are giving him opinions on

248
00:13:31,000 --> 00:13:35,720
both sides of the Isle's start with a general that

249
00:13:36,440 --> 00:13:40,240
General Wesley Clark, who is very much hangs out on

250
00:13:40,279 --> 00:13:44,080
the left side of the political isle, and this is

251
00:13:44,120 --> 00:13:47,960
his advice to the president. He was the former NATO

252
00:13:48,039 --> 00:13:52,759
commander in Europe, so four star general retired but a

253
00:13:52,759 --> 00:13:54,919
big lefty. Here's what his advice would be.

254
00:13:55,200 --> 00:13:57,200
Speaker 4: Well, I think it's not so much a matter of

255
00:13:57,240 --> 00:14:00,320
reading the songs. It's a matter of trying to think

256
00:14:00,399 --> 00:14:03,480
through the right way to do this. As your previous

257
00:14:03,519 --> 00:14:07,440
panel pointed out, we had numerous failures in this before,

258
00:14:07,519 --> 00:14:10,879
so I think you can't get mesmerized by looking at

259
00:14:10,879 --> 00:14:14,600
aircraft and sorties and what happens if a pilot gets

260
00:14:14,600 --> 00:14:17,200
shot down. On all the military details, I know they're

261
00:14:17,200 --> 00:14:20,279
fascinating to the public. The issue is what's the end

262
00:14:20,360 --> 00:14:23,120
state and how do you get there. So it seems

263
00:14:23,120 --> 00:14:28,480
to me we're approaching a period of maximum diplomatic leverage.

264
00:14:29,039 --> 00:14:34,360
Hopefully that behind the scenes someone is applying that leverage

265
00:14:34,799 --> 00:14:39,960
against the Iranians in direct conversations that are not public.

266
00:14:40,720 --> 00:14:44,200
We did this in Kosova. We bombed for about three weeks,

267
00:14:44,320 --> 00:14:47,720
we then started the negotiations. It took another four weeks.

268
00:14:48,200 --> 00:14:51,480
Israel's got the momentum. Israel's going to be able to

269
00:14:51,600 --> 00:14:54,519
use hard bombs and not missiles, So they've got plenty

270
00:14:54,559 --> 00:14:58,320
of ordinance on it, and you've got to keep the

271
00:14:58,559 --> 00:15:02,639
option of the US strike alive. To do that, Israel

272
00:15:02,759 --> 00:15:07,519
has to shift from the nuclear to working against the

273
00:15:07,559 --> 00:15:12,120
Iranian deterrent forces that would strike the United States or

274
00:15:12,159 --> 00:15:15,240
block the strait of our moves. So it's time to

275
00:15:15,240 --> 00:15:18,639
go after the short range missiles, those boats that the

276
00:15:18,679 --> 00:15:23,519
Iranian navy uses, where the mines are stored before they're released.

277
00:15:24,000 --> 00:15:26,960
Take all that out. We know where it is. Maybe

278
00:15:26,960 --> 00:15:30,399
the Israelis do too. We can certainly share that intelligence,

279
00:15:31,240 --> 00:15:34,720
and as we ramp up that pressure, we have behind

280
00:15:34,720 --> 00:15:38,480
the scenes dialogue and it's like a live and let live.

281
00:15:39,120 --> 00:15:41,360
You open up, you say, the Iranians, you up and

282
00:15:41,480 --> 00:15:44,159
up all your nuclear facilities. You're going to lose them all.

283
00:15:44,360 --> 00:15:46,240
You're going to take them all out. We won't change

284
00:15:46,240 --> 00:15:49,600
a regime. That's up to you. If you need energy,

285
00:15:49,679 --> 00:15:53,279
we'll be happy to supply you our nuclear reactors. You

286
00:15:53,320 --> 00:15:56,879
pay for them with your gas and oil, and you

287
00:15:56,960 --> 00:16:02,240
work with us. It would be a feasible way to

288
00:16:02,279 --> 00:16:06,919
go in, and I would strongly encourage the administration not

289
00:16:07,080 --> 00:16:09,440
to simply go in and use a couple of B

290
00:16:09,559 --> 00:16:15,399
two's and try to bomb that big plant that's deep underground.

291
00:16:15,679 --> 00:16:18,360
That's not gonna get us where we want to be.

292
00:16:18,759 --> 00:16:22,879
I've got to think about this thing from working backwards planning.

293
00:16:23,440 --> 00:16:26,679
What's the desired in state. If you've got an alternative

294
00:16:26,679 --> 00:16:30,519
government and you can really get regime change, and you're

295
00:16:30,600 --> 00:16:32,960
pretty sure that government is going to give up all

296
00:16:32,960 --> 00:16:37,279
the nuclear secrets and work with the West and its neighbors, great,

297
00:16:37,840 --> 00:16:40,480
I don't think there's that plan in place. I don't

298
00:16:40,480 --> 00:16:42,879
think those people are in place. We do have a

299
00:16:42,919 --> 00:16:47,639
pro Western population in much of Iran. That's a good

300
00:16:47,679 --> 00:16:52,919
asset for us. The regime is weak, but I would

301
00:16:52,919 --> 00:16:58,600
certainly be working two paths parallel, the military path to

302
00:16:58,679 --> 00:17:01,960
take out their ability to dalliate if and when we

303
00:17:02,000 --> 00:17:06,359
do intervene, and that's the targets along the golf and

304
00:17:06,880 --> 00:17:12,200
second the diplomatic path to try to work some kind

305
00:17:12,240 --> 00:17:16,079
of a live and live in which they renounce their

306
00:17:16,160 --> 00:17:19,359
hatred of Israel in the United States and in return

307
00:17:19,440 --> 00:17:22,720
we say Peter's Supreme Leader.

308
00:17:23,559 --> 00:17:26,640
Speaker 1: So that was Wesley Clark, again hangs out on the

309
00:17:26,680 --> 00:17:29,640
left side of the political isle, but was a varstar

310
00:17:29,759 --> 00:17:33,720
general who ran NATO in Europe. On the other side

311
00:17:33,759 --> 00:17:37,039
of the aisle hr McMaster, who was the National security advisor.

312
00:17:37,079 --> 00:17:40,359
He was a lieutenant general. He advised Donald Trump and

313
00:17:40,400 --> 00:17:43,559
Trump one point zero as his national security advisor. Here's

314
00:17:43,599 --> 00:17:47,119
what hr McMaster that he would advise the president to do.

315
00:17:48,039 --> 00:17:50,279
Speaker 12: Really, we know the president had gone to Camp David

316
00:17:50,319 --> 00:17:53,000
about a week ago and then he spent about eighty

317
00:17:53,039 --> 00:17:57,039
minutes in the situation room with his advisors, and I'm

318
00:17:57,079 --> 00:17:59,240
sure what they did is framed the discussion around first

319
00:17:59,279 --> 00:18:01,759
of all, what does the president want to achieve?

320
00:18:01,839 --> 00:18:03,680
Speaker 3: What we want to achieve if the US does.

321
00:18:03,599 --> 00:18:07,640
Speaker 12: Become more directly involved here, is it is it regime change,

322
00:18:07,720 --> 00:18:10,279
you know, or is it just a complete dismantlement of

323
00:18:10,319 --> 00:18:12,240
the of the of the nuclear program, both or which

324
00:18:12,400 --> 00:18:15,359
of which are ambitious objectives. But of course what they

325
00:18:15,359 --> 00:18:18,279
would have covered as well is the situation in which

326
00:18:18,680 --> 00:18:22,799
Iran finds itself here in a really devastating, a devastatingly

327
00:18:22,839 --> 00:18:26,680
weak position. What Israel has done is really astounding in

328
00:18:26,759 --> 00:18:31,359
terms of going after the entire nuclear supply chain, including

329
00:18:31,440 --> 00:18:34,680
you know, fourteen or so scientists, the missile capability and

330
00:18:34,720 --> 00:18:38,079
the missile supply chain, the military leadership. You know, three

331
00:18:38,160 --> 00:18:42,079
days ago they killed the commander of the Islamic Revolutionary

332
00:18:42,079 --> 00:18:45,960
Guard's Corps and the army, and then somebody assumed command

333
00:18:46,160 --> 00:18:49,279
and then he was killed yesterday. So the military and

334
00:18:49,359 --> 00:18:53,559
leadership is really decapitated. They've also going after the arms

335
00:18:53,559 --> 00:18:55,640
of repression, you know, like the besiege, kind of like

336
00:18:55,680 --> 00:18:59,200
the brown Shirts, you know, who repressed the Iranian people,

337
00:18:59,559 --> 00:19:03,400
energy targets. A massive cyber attack on the Islamic Revolutionary

338
00:19:03,400 --> 00:19:06,720
Guards core Bank has just occurred. And so the question

339
00:19:06,799 --> 00:19:09,319
is now do they go after civilian leadership and is

340
00:19:09,319 --> 00:19:15,160
there really a you know, a decapitation sort of strategy

341
00:19:14,920 --> 00:19:18,000
that'll pursue. I really don't think he's going to do that.

342
00:19:18,000 --> 00:19:19,559
The President would join it into that. I think the

343
00:19:19,599 --> 00:19:22,319
president the decision before him is whether or not to

344
00:19:22,359 --> 00:19:26,480
strike these deeply buried facilities to set back the Iranian

345
00:19:26,559 --> 00:19:29,759
nuclear program even further. Well, I think what they would

346
00:19:29,960 --> 00:19:33,279
be a strike initially, you know, like against against Bordeau,

347
00:19:33,359 --> 00:19:36,240
and there's one other deep buried site as well. Israel

348
00:19:36,319 --> 00:19:40,000
I shouldn't know is having an effect on those sites already,

349
00:19:40,519 --> 00:19:43,079
but this would be a more devastating effect. Iran has

350
00:19:43,119 --> 00:19:45,799
already said that the way they will respond is activate

351
00:19:45,880 --> 00:19:48,759
the proxies that it has left in the region, and

352
00:19:48,839 --> 00:19:52,240
the Hastashabi, the various range of militias that are in

353
00:19:52,279 --> 00:19:55,839
Iraq have already pledged that they would attack US interests

354
00:19:55,880 --> 00:19:59,079
and US personnel in the region, and so have the

355
00:19:59,119 --> 00:20:03,559
Houthis for examp. You could see Iran maybe activate its

356
00:20:03,599 --> 00:20:06,440
worldwide terrorist network, remember what like what it did in

357
00:20:06,480 --> 00:20:09,000
the nineteen nineties, nineteen ninety two and nineteen ninety four

358
00:20:09,000 --> 00:20:13,200
in Argentina, for example, when it attacks the Israeli embassy

359
00:20:13,240 --> 00:20:16,920
and a Jewish community center. You're killing over one hundred people,

360
00:20:17,000 --> 00:20:19,880
you know, So you could see attacks like that around

361
00:20:19,920 --> 00:20:22,839
the world and maybe against US interests, potentially even in

362
00:20:22,839 --> 00:20:25,799
the United States. Remember they already have you put a

363
00:20:25,880 --> 00:20:28,000
hit out on the President of the United States and

364
00:20:28,240 --> 00:20:31,160
the Secretary of State and two national security advisors, and

365
00:20:31,240 --> 00:20:34,319
so you know, we're dealing with a regime that really

366
00:20:34,440 --> 00:20:38,000
is hostile to the United States, that has been fighting

367
00:20:38,079 --> 00:20:42,519
a four decade plus long proxy war against Israel, you know,

368
00:20:42,599 --> 00:20:45,000
the Great Satan, you know. And I would say they're

369
00:20:45,039 --> 00:20:48,519
Arab neighbors as well. So you know, the President was right,

370
00:20:48,559 --> 00:20:50,160
I think today to not say what he is going

371
00:20:50,200 --> 00:20:53,000
to do, keep the pressure on the audience. The more

372
00:20:53,079 --> 00:20:56,319
bellicos the iridience get, I think, the higher the chances

373
00:20:56,400 --> 00:20:59,799
are that the United States will join with Israel.

374
00:21:00,079 --> 00:21:00,839
Speaker 1: These strikes on.

375
00:21:00,839 --> 00:21:03,279
Speaker 3: These deeply buried nuclear facilities.

376
00:21:04,000 --> 00:21:06,519
Speaker 12: Well, what I would do, you know, is layout really

377
00:21:06,559 --> 00:21:08,440
you know what the objective is, to get the Presiden's

378
00:21:08,440 --> 00:21:11,559
concurrence on what is the objective and then come up

379
00:21:11,599 --> 00:21:14,720
with courses of action that integrate all elements of national

380
00:21:14,799 --> 00:21:17,960
power as well as efforts of like minded partners. And

381
00:21:18,000 --> 00:21:19,920
when I say elements of national power, of course I

382
00:21:19,960 --> 00:21:22,640
need the military strike, but then there are all sorts

383
00:21:22,640 --> 00:21:27,319
of intelligence capabilities that you have, financial capabilities, cyber capabilities,

384
00:21:27,519 --> 00:21:30,480
and partners in the region and beyond. They also can

385
00:21:30,480 --> 00:21:33,440
bring capabilities to bear depending on what the objective is

386
00:21:33,759 --> 00:21:36,400
and so what you want to integrated options to present

387
00:21:36,440 --> 00:21:39,640
to the president and then to explore obviously what are

388
00:21:39,680 --> 00:21:42,400
the second and third order effects. Right, It's never just

389
00:21:42,480 --> 00:21:44,839
like a strike and you're done, unless it's a very

390
00:21:44,920 --> 00:21:50,559
limited rate. For example, President Reagan's raid against against Libya

391
00:21:50,640 --> 00:21:55,559
after Elderoro Canyon, after the Lockerbie aircraft shoot down, So

392
00:21:56,039 --> 00:21:58,559
there's going to be a second order effect. Iran still

393
00:21:58,599 --> 00:22:01,079
has some capabilities. But you know, I'll tell you I

394
00:22:01,160 --> 00:22:04,599
told Ahmede he's in a bunker. I mean he turned over. Uh,

395
00:22:04,759 --> 00:22:07,039
you know, whatever they're trying to do to to hobble

396
00:22:07,119 --> 00:22:10,279
together a response to the to the Guardian Council. And

397
00:22:11,200 --> 00:22:13,359
and I think it is it is really important to

398
00:22:13,440 --> 00:22:17,880
recognize the profound state of weakness that Iran has. And

399
00:22:17,960 --> 00:22:20,480
by the way, they've always been weak, but they've gotten

400
00:22:20,480 --> 00:22:23,559
a free ride, you know, because we would never really

401
00:22:23,799 --> 00:22:25,599
very rarely do we act like we knew what the

402
00:22:25,680 --> 00:22:28,880
return address was when they were using their proxy forces

403
00:22:28,920 --> 00:22:29,400
against us.

404
00:22:29,759 --> 00:22:31,440
Speaker 3: And I told it, Hamedy he blew it.

405
00:22:31,839 --> 00:22:34,720
Speaker 12: He blew it when he conducted two direct attacks against

406
00:22:34,839 --> 00:22:38,799
Israel in April and October of last year. And then

407
00:22:39,000 --> 00:22:40,960
and then of course, you know, now he's reaping the

408
00:22:41,039 --> 00:22:44,640
whirlwind from that. You know, as we would think logically, right,

409
00:22:44,720 --> 00:22:47,000
and President Trump would think maybe is from his real

410
00:22:47,079 --> 00:22:49,960
estate background, Yeah, it makes sense for them to cut

411
00:22:50,000 --> 00:22:53,400
a deal. But I think we we oftentimes undervalue the

412
00:22:53,599 --> 00:22:58,960
ideological drivers of the Iranian leadership. Hey, these are true believers.

413
00:22:59,240 --> 00:23:02,559
These are the revel lutionaries, right, who believe in exporting

414
00:23:02,599 --> 00:23:05,759
the revolution. Their their strategy of forward defense was always

415
00:23:05,799 --> 00:23:09,680
a strategy of forward offense with this strange blend of

416
00:23:10,319 --> 00:23:14,680
you know, a a religious, uh sort of ideology, with

417
00:23:15,039 --> 00:23:18,519
this ravonirous agenda to kind of re establish the grandeur

418
00:23:18,599 --> 00:23:21,799
of the of the Persian Empire. So these true believers

419
00:23:21,839 --> 00:23:25,680
are the ones who are in charge in Iran. For

420
00:23:25,799 --> 00:23:29,000
many years, we tried to maybe conform our policies to

421
00:23:29,119 --> 00:23:33,279
strengthening what we would regard as the republicans or the reformers. Hey,

422
00:23:33,359 --> 00:23:35,960
but you know they lost, and and of course you

423
00:23:36,000 --> 00:23:38,039
know what this regime has done. Is it has not

424
00:23:38,119 --> 00:23:40,359
only put itself in this situation, but it is has

425
00:23:40,400 --> 00:23:44,559
for decades, really made the Iranian people destitute. You know,

426
00:23:44,680 --> 00:23:49,279
a society that that has tremendous cultural strength, that has

427
00:23:49,319 --> 00:23:52,519
tremendous you know, human capital and talent, and they've kept

428
00:23:52,559 --> 00:23:55,920
them down for four plus decades. So I really liked

429
00:23:55,960 --> 00:23:59,000
the message the President Trump had for the Iranian people

430
00:23:59,079 --> 00:24:01,880
and what promised to Yahoo after the Riding View. And

431
00:24:02,039 --> 00:24:04,799
I think that we should continue to emphasize that these

432
00:24:04,880 --> 00:24:08,240
actions are against this regime that has caused so much

433
00:24:08,279 --> 00:24:12,519
human suffering, including in Iran, and not against not against

434
00:24:12,519 --> 00:24:13,319
the Iranian people.

435
00:24:13,759 --> 00:24:17,200
Speaker 1: Yeah, so that was h R. McMaster Liet Farmer, retired

436
00:24:17,200 --> 00:24:20,079
lieutenant general, but he and also national security advisor to

437
00:24:20,440 --> 00:24:24,279
President Trump and Trump one point zero. But he brought up, yeah,

438
00:24:24,319 --> 00:24:28,880
there's a hit out from the Ayatola on President Trump

439
00:24:29,480 --> 00:24:34,039
and also on Mike Pompeo and on John Bolton. So

440
00:24:34,440 --> 00:24:37,119
these are bad people and they do want to kill

441
00:24:37,319 --> 00:24:41,599
our leaders. They really mean death to America, death to Israel.

442
00:24:42,680 --> 00:24:45,480
So the President today, the question we talked about so

443
00:24:45,599 --> 00:24:50,519
far is do they go in and hit the with

444
00:24:50,640 --> 00:24:54,640
the bunker buckster bombs and take out the nuclear facilities

445
00:24:54,759 --> 00:24:58,240
in Iran? Or are we talking about going all the

446
00:24:58,359 --> 00:25:03,799
way and taking and dec capitating. We've decapitated their military leadership,

447
00:25:04,359 --> 00:25:07,279
Israel did, and Israel did the same thing in Hezballah

448
00:25:07,480 --> 00:25:12,000
and in Hamas, and so they take out the top people.

449
00:25:12,160 --> 00:25:15,599
Now they the question they have is are they going

450
00:25:15,680 --> 00:25:19,640
to take out the Ayatola? President Trump sent out a

451
00:25:20,000 --> 00:25:23,599
true social post saying, we know exactly where the so

452
00:25:23,839 --> 00:25:28,519
called Supreme Supreme Leader is hiding. He's an easy target,

453
00:25:28,640 --> 00:25:31,759
but is safe there. We are not going to take

454
00:25:31,839 --> 00:25:36,039
him out kill at least for now, but we don't

455
00:25:36,119 --> 00:25:40,319
want missile shot at civilians or American soldiers. Our patients

456
00:25:40,559 --> 00:25:43,519
is wearing thin. So he says he's not going to

457
00:25:43,640 --> 00:25:47,519
kill him for now. And that's the second question is

458
00:25:47,599 --> 00:25:49,880
do you want us to be involved to take out

459
00:25:49,920 --> 00:25:53,119
the nukes in Iran? And if so, do you want

460
00:25:53,200 --> 00:25:55,359
us to take out the leader? And I have to

461
00:25:55,480 --> 00:25:58,119
ask you, if you go back to World War Two,

462
00:25:58,640 --> 00:26:02,119
could you imagine that this Ushan where we said, no,

463
00:26:02,359 --> 00:26:06,680
we're going to leave Hitler in charge of Germany and

464
00:26:06,920 --> 00:26:09,519
we'll just take out some of his army, but we'll

465
00:26:09,599 --> 00:26:10,559
leave Hitler in charge.

466
00:26:10,640 --> 00:26:12,240
Speaker 3: No, no.

467
00:26:12,440 --> 00:26:12,759
Speaker 12: I mean the.

468
00:26:12,799 --> 00:26:16,480
Speaker 1: Nuremberg trials, they put to death many of the top

469
00:26:16,720 --> 00:26:17,640
German soldiers.

470
00:26:18,319 --> 00:26:18,680
Speaker 3: So I.

471
00:26:20,680 --> 00:26:23,240
Speaker 1: Believe this is going to end with the Ayatolo's death

472
00:26:24,000 --> 00:26:29,000
and the nukes being taken out. Danzignor was a top

473
00:26:30,000 --> 00:26:33,960
national security executive in the George W. Administration. This is

474
00:26:34,039 --> 00:26:36,480
what he has to say about the events going on

475
00:26:36,559 --> 00:26:37,279
in the Middle East.

476
00:26:37,799 --> 00:26:41,160
Speaker 8: Israel can manage the defense of Israel alone.

477
00:26:41,400 --> 00:26:45,799
Speaker 13: Israel can continue to do serious damage to Iran's military assets,

478
00:26:45,880 --> 00:26:50,400
its military leadership, and its nuclear program, with the exception

479
00:26:50,640 --> 00:26:51,559
of four doh.

480
00:26:52,000 --> 00:26:54,200
Speaker 8: That is the big question mark four dau. As you know,

481
00:26:54,799 --> 00:26:55,960
is this enrichment.

482
00:26:57,400 --> 00:27:01,119
Speaker 13: Capability or asset that's deep punkered down in to bunkers,

483
00:27:01,160 --> 00:27:04,880
basically very hard to access. And it's I mean, the

484
00:27:04,960 --> 00:27:08,279
Israelis say they have some capabilities that could tackle four dough.

485
00:27:08,680 --> 00:27:10,960
They've done n tons. The question is can they do

486
00:27:11,079 --> 00:27:13,599
four dough. They say they have capabilities to do four dough.

487
00:27:14,079 --> 00:27:16,839
The Americans, the US definitely has the capacity to do

488
00:27:16,960 --> 00:27:21,000
four dough. I think Israel's capabilities are probably there, but

489
00:27:21,079 --> 00:27:23,279
they will be messy and they will take longer. And

490
00:27:23,400 --> 00:27:25,759
I think the US, if the US participate in some

491
00:27:25,839 --> 00:27:29,240
way would be a much cleaner shot. Well, they've already

492
00:27:29,279 --> 00:27:31,279
gotten warmed to the possibility of war because there is

493
00:27:31,319 --> 00:27:34,279
a war going on that the US supports. The only

494
00:27:34,440 --> 00:27:36,920
question is is one US Republican US senator put it

495
00:27:36,960 --> 00:27:38,440
to me the other day who has been talking to

496
00:27:38,480 --> 00:27:41,680
President Trump? He said, to finish this off. Israel has

497
00:27:41,720 --> 00:27:43,720
done all the difficult dirty work. It has cleared the

498
00:27:43,799 --> 00:27:45,920
path now for the US to come in the end

499
00:27:46,000 --> 00:27:48,279
and finish it off. Israel could probably finish it off,

500
00:27:48,279 --> 00:27:50,839
as I said earlier, which is again four dough, but

501
00:27:50,920 --> 00:27:53,839
he said Israel's chance of success doing it on its

502
00:27:53,880 --> 00:27:57,480
own is much lower. I think the big question for

503
00:27:58,039 --> 00:28:02,839
the president is if this doesn't wrap up cleanly and soon,

504
00:28:03,599 --> 00:28:06,720
you will have this war dragging on. Right, Israel is

505
00:28:06,759 --> 00:28:09,039
not going to pull back, and presumably Iran is not

506
00:28:09,119 --> 00:28:11,079
going to pull back. What does that look like? What

507
00:28:11,119 --> 00:28:12,599
does that look like to Israel? What does it look

508
00:28:12,640 --> 00:28:13,839
like to Iran? And what does it look like to

509
00:28:13,920 --> 00:28:14,319
the region.

510
00:28:14,440 --> 00:28:15,160
Speaker 3: A B.

511
00:28:16,279 --> 00:28:21,000
Speaker 13: Never forget that Iran has been a threat to the

512
00:28:21,119 --> 00:28:23,640
United States in the West for decades. I mean we

513
00:28:23,720 --> 00:28:26,240
can I mean literally after al KaiA, you can't think

514
00:28:26,279 --> 00:28:28,519
of a bigger source of terrorism. You can't think of

515
00:28:28,559 --> 00:28:30,920
an entity or a country that has more American blood

516
00:28:30,960 --> 00:28:34,000
on its hands than Iran American military. I saw it

517
00:28:34,079 --> 00:28:37,680
firsthand in Iraq where they were killed by terror supported

518
00:28:37,759 --> 00:28:42,599
by Iran, directly by the Iranian military. They run rabid

519
00:28:42,720 --> 00:28:46,480
all over the world, threatening American interests. So this is

520
00:28:46,519 --> 00:28:49,559
the best shot President Trump hass since the revolution in

521
00:28:49,640 --> 00:28:52,920
nineteen seventy nine to put the Irani in a threat away.

522
00:28:53,039 --> 00:28:55,279
He would be the president that makes this thing go away.

523
00:28:55,319 --> 00:28:58,359
If he did, the man would deserve the nobel peace price.

524
00:28:58,839 --> 00:29:03,039
I I don't think he has many On my podcast

525
00:29:03,119 --> 00:29:05,319
this morning, I interviewed an expert who's lived in Iran,

526
00:29:05,799 --> 00:29:09,839
who's Kareem Sajopur, who's an expert on Iran. He says

527
00:29:09,880 --> 00:29:13,119
he can't think of many cards, any cards Iran has

528
00:29:13,240 --> 00:29:15,319
right now. And the problem is with the Supreme Leader

529
00:29:15,720 --> 00:29:19,039
is he's old, he's dug in, he's deeply ideological, and

530
00:29:19,160 --> 00:29:21,920
he's really uncompromising. The Iran deal he did in twenty

531
00:29:22,000 --> 00:29:26,079
fifteen with Obama, which was an enormously generous deal to Iran,

532
00:29:26,680 --> 00:29:30,000
was considered by him a massive capitulation. This is not

533
00:29:30,119 --> 00:29:33,839
a man who wants to make real concessions. So unfortunately,

534
00:29:33,920 --> 00:29:37,400
Iran does not have many cards right now. And for

535
00:29:37,480 --> 00:29:40,200
the running people, what's tragic is they have a leader

536
00:29:40,440 --> 00:29:42,799
who's in his eighties and does not seem to be

537
00:29:42,880 --> 00:29:44,039
prepared to change his ways.

538
00:29:44,440 --> 00:29:49,039
Speaker 1: No, the Iotota is dug into his ideology and the

539
00:29:49,160 --> 00:29:51,720
question now, in fact, we're getting news this afternoon, the

540
00:29:51,799 --> 00:29:55,240
president says that he has a plan if there is

541
00:29:55,440 --> 00:29:56,319
regime change.

542
00:29:56,359 --> 00:29:56,880
Speaker 3: So that's.

543
00:29:58,240 --> 00:30:00,440
Speaker 1: I read that is that's their plan is to have

544
00:30:00,640 --> 00:30:03,359
regime change. But that's the question. If you're going to

545
00:30:03,480 --> 00:30:07,400
go into a war, if you're going to strike along

546
00:30:07,480 --> 00:30:11,960
with Israel, what happens after that? So you drop the

547
00:30:12,079 --> 00:30:15,319
bomb or bombs and then what because it's not going

548
00:30:15,400 --> 00:30:18,480
to end right there. And the question is who if

549
00:30:18,519 --> 00:30:21,400
you do regime change, who is going to take over?

550
00:30:21,440 --> 00:30:23,720
Because there's going to be a lot of bad actors

551
00:30:23,799 --> 00:30:26,480
that want to take over as well. So it sounds

552
00:30:26,559 --> 00:30:29,759
like they have a plan, and so they have set

553
00:30:29,839 --> 00:30:34,279
up their idea of a regime change before there's a

554
00:30:34,359 --> 00:30:37,079
regime change, which is the way you probably should do this.

555
00:30:40,319 --> 00:30:43,960
So we have much more besides Israel and Iran. The

556
00:30:44,400 --> 00:30:49,279
FED meeting was today and to nobody's surprise. The FED

557
00:30:49,359 --> 00:30:51,759
came out and said, we're leaving interest rates unchanged. They're

558
00:30:51,799 --> 00:30:54,119
not dropping them or not raising them. They're going to

559
00:30:54,200 --> 00:30:58,519
leave them unchanged. The President called J. Powell, Oh, is

560
00:30:58,559 --> 00:31:02,000
it stupid? I think today then he's probably not going

561
00:31:02,079 --> 00:31:04,759
to drop the right he did not. The Fed left

562
00:31:04,799 --> 00:31:07,799
the interest rates where they are literally no surprise to

563
00:31:07,839 --> 00:31:14,319
anybody on Wall Street. We have TikTok. The President signed

564
00:31:14,359 --> 00:31:21,240
another executive order extending for another ninety days. The fact

565
00:31:21,279 --> 00:31:25,759
that TikTok is supposed to be shut down and they're not,

566
00:31:26,359 --> 00:31:28,440
and the President doesn't want to do that now he

567
00:31:28,519 --> 00:31:33,200
did before, So TikTok lives for at least another ninety days.

568
00:31:33,839 --> 00:31:38,680
The Supreme Court out today with a decision that had

569
00:31:38,799 --> 00:31:41,759
to do with the case out of Tennessee, but it

570
00:31:41,920 --> 00:31:46,279
also will impact twenty six other states, and the Supreme

571
00:31:46,400 --> 00:31:54,400
Court basically, well, they agreed with Tennessee on banning gender

572
00:31:54,680 --> 00:32:01,599
affirming care for transgender youth. They do not believe, and

573
00:32:01,799 --> 00:32:04,960
I don't believe that people under eighteen years. It used

574
00:32:04,960 --> 00:32:07,559
to be where you couldn't give a school nurse, could

575
00:32:07,599 --> 00:32:10,559
not give an aspirin without getting permission from the parents,

576
00:32:11,559 --> 00:32:14,119
And it's just you're not ready to make a decision

577
00:32:14,359 --> 00:32:16,720
about your sex life for the rest of your life

578
00:32:16,759 --> 00:32:20,640
when you're a teenager or younger. So Tennessee and twenty

579
00:32:20,720 --> 00:32:24,400
six other states have a ban on gender affirming care

580
00:32:25,799 --> 00:32:28,359
justice sort of. I or wrote a dissent about the

581
00:32:28,440 --> 00:32:32,440
fact that this was unfair and left transgender kids in

582
00:32:32,519 --> 00:32:36,519
a lurch, something to that effect, and it was I'm thinking, no,

583
00:32:36,720 --> 00:32:40,400
it's protecting these kids until they can get old enough

584
00:32:40,519 --> 00:32:43,400
to make that decision on their own. And if they

585
00:32:43,519 --> 00:32:46,079
want to try and change their sex and go through

586
00:32:46,160 --> 00:32:50,000
all the medical process to do that, I don't care.

587
00:32:50,400 --> 00:32:55,000
That's their life. It doesn't affect me. But children don't

588
00:32:55,039 --> 00:32:57,319
have that ability to make that decision. That's why we

589
00:32:57,400 --> 00:33:02,680
have so many laws that prohibit people from smoking, from drinking,

590
00:33:03,319 --> 00:33:06,880
from joining the military until they're at least eighteen years

591
00:33:06,920 --> 00:33:10,799
of age. Jonathan Skametti, he's the attorney general for the

592
00:33:10,880 --> 00:33:14,720
state of Tennessee. This was his reaction, right.

593
00:33:14,920 --> 00:33:18,400
Speaker 14: I mean, the takeaway is the Constitution leaves room for

594
00:33:18,519 --> 00:33:22,279
the states, through their elected representatives, to make these big

595
00:33:22,359 --> 00:33:26,920
decisions about open questions in science and medical care. Yeah,

596
00:33:26,960 --> 00:33:29,880
I mean kids who are dealing with gender dysphoria carry

597
00:33:29,920 --> 00:33:33,400
a heavy burden, and we should take that seriously and

598
00:33:33,559 --> 00:33:36,559
we should have empathy for them. If you look at

599
00:33:36,599 --> 00:33:40,880
the evidence, though, most kids who experience gender confusion in

600
00:33:41,000 --> 00:33:44,000
their use grow out of it unless you medicate them.

601
00:33:44,240 --> 00:33:46,480
And if you look at these countries in Western Europe,

602
00:33:46,519 --> 00:33:51,039
I mean the United Kingdom, Norway, Sweden, all these countries

603
00:33:51,079 --> 00:33:54,160
that were formerly very keen on this kind of treatment

604
00:33:54,240 --> 00:33:57,039
have started rolling it way back and restricting and prohibiting

605
00:33:57,119 --> 00:34:00,480
it because the evidence keeps showing that there are huge

606
00:34:00,599 --> 00:34:04,559
risks to kids and very little, if any benefit to them. Yeah,

607
00:34:04,559 --> 00:34:06,640
I think the plaintiffs that were challenging the law knew

608
00:34:06,680 --> 00:34:09,760
that that was a pretty heavy lift, and they didn't

609
00:34:09,840 --> 00:34:12,159
have anybody who had had surgery. If they had people

610
00:34:12,199 --> 00:34:15,800
who were taking the different drug regimes, so they only

611
00:34:15,960 --> 00:34:18,400
challenged to the extent that they had plaintiffs who were

612
00:34:18,519 --> 00:34:22,199
actually up against the law. But the ruling here covers everything.

613
00:34:22,239 --> 00:34:26,119
I mean, according to the court, it is entirely constitutional

614
00:34:26,239 --> 00:34:29,280
for Tennessee to have passed this law, and every state

615
00:34:29,360 --> 00:34:31,559
has the opportunity to make its own decision about what

616
00:34:31,639 --> 00:34:32,360
their law should be.

617
00:34:43,119 --> 00:34:46,159
Speaker 1: So the Supreme Court certainly isn't done. They're just getting

618
00:34:46,239 --> 00:34:49,400
started back. We were expecting not just a decision about

619
00:34:49,440 --> 00:34:52,880
the Tennessee law on transgenders, but we were expecting more,

620
00:34:52,960 --> 00:34:57,239
at least some of those that are still outstanding of

621
00:34:57,360 --> 00:35:03,480
the birthright citizenship case limiting judicial power. Can these federal

622
00:35:03,599 --> 00:35:10,719
judges do nationwide injunctions. Can parents opt out of their

623
00:35:10,800 --> 00:35:15,719
kids opt out of school classes with LGBTQ books. And

624
00:35:16,119 --> 00:35:21,760
there's a Texas age verification law for young people in

625
00:35:21,880 --> 00:35:25,639
Texas to access porn and that is being challenged before

626
00:35:25,800 --> 00:35:28,719
the Supreme Court as well. So there's much more. I mean,

627
00:35:28,760 --> 00:35:30,760
here we are in June. They're going to be wrapping

628
00:35:30,840 --> 00:35:33,360
up with a lot of Supreme Court decisions over the

629
00:35:33,440 --> 00:35:38,440
next couple of weeks. In the economy, we had today

630
00:35:38,960 --> 00:35:45,280
housing starts came out and housing starts big drop down

631
00:35:45,679 --> 00:35:50,800
nine point eight percent. Permits to build homes were also

632
00:35:51,159 --> 00:35:54,159
on the light side. The single family home numbers were

633
00:35:54,599 --> 00:35:58,679
kind of flat, but it's the multifamily. It's the apartments.

634
00:35:59,320 --> 00:36:05,800
They were down over thirty percent, and permits however for

635
00:36:05,920 --> 00:36:09,400
building apartments was up thirteen percent. So the housing market,

636
00:36:09,880 --> 00:36:13,000
big surprise. House he starts down nine point eight percent.

637
00:36:13,079 --> 00:36:15,880
These are the builders out there that are cautious about

638
00:36:16,840 --> 00:36:21,119
committing to a big investment to build a new home

639
00:36:21,199 --> 00:36:24,679
for somebody before they can sell the house to somebody.

640
00:36:25,480 --> 00:36:29,039
With all the questions about the economy, first time jobs

641
00:36:29,119 --> 00:36:32,280
claims two hundred forty five thousand. That was exactly what

642
00:36:32,519 --> 00:36:37,679
was expected. However, that number has been building slowly but

643
00:36:37,960 --> 00:36:44,079
going up surely over the last For the last three

644
00:36:44,159 --> 00:36:48,239
weeks in a row, it's been going up continuing claims

645
00:36:48,320 --> 00:36:51,880
a million, nine hundred forty five thousand. As far as

646
00:36:51,960 --> 00:36:58,840
the economy in general, Roger Altman, who started Evercorp, one

647
00:36:58,880 --> 00:37:01,400
of the big Wall Street firm, was asked about just

648
00:37:02,199 --> 00:37:05,119
what he sees going on in the economy from where

649
00:37:05,159 --> 00:37:05,639
he sits.

650
00:37:06,360 --> 00:37:08,960
Speaker 15: Well, it's a double edged sword, though, so right now

651
00:37:09,199 --> 00:37:11,639
we're seeing a surprising and that's the word. I think

652
00:37:11,679 --> 00:37:15,679
it's important amount of resilience in both the economy and markets,

653
00:37:17,199 --> 00:37:20,199
and it's confounding a lot of experts. I spoke to

654
00:37:20,320 --> 00:37:22,840
two or three the economists I really respect yesterday in

655
00:37:22,880 --> 00:37:26,360
anticipation of coming on here today, and they really couldn't

656
00:37:26,400 --> 00:37:30,519
explain it because of the following And I'm going to

657
00:37:30,559 --> 00:37:32,760
tell a little story here. If the three of us

658
00:37:33,639 --> 00:37:36,159
four years ago today, I've been having a cup of

659
00:37:36,199 --> 00:37:40,079
coffee and into the room walked a profit or an

660
00:37:40,119 --> 00:37:43,119
authentic prophet, who said, let me tell you what's going

661
00:37:43,199 --> 00:37:45,440
to be happening. Four years from today. There are going

662
00:37:45,480 --> 00:37:50,320
to be wars raging between Israel and Iran and between

663
00:37:50,400 --> 00:37:56,840
Russia and Ukraine. A powerful new regime of tariffs on

664
00:37:57,239 --> 00:38:01,119
imports will have been installed by the Night States. There'll

665
00:38:01,159 --> 00:38:04,880
be mass deportations occurring in large public protests over that.

666
00:38:05,199 --> 00:38:06,800
What do you think the impact of those will be

667
00:38:07,800 --> 00:38:10,119
on the then economy, on the then markets. I think

668
00:38:10,159 --> 00:38:12,079
most of us would have said, well, not very good.

669
00:38:13,559 --> 00:38:17,079
And so at the moment, that not very good impact

670
00:38:17,159 --> 00:38:20,519
has not materialized. But I think there's this pretty serious

671
00:38:20,639 --> 00:38:23,440
chance it's the calm before the storm, and that the

672
00:38:23,519 --> 00:38:25,480
resilience will not last.

673
00:38:26,039 --> 00:38:26,679
Speaker 2: And here's why.

674
00:38:28,119 --> 00:38:32,320
Speaker 8: First of all, we're starting to see beginning signs of weakness.

675
00:38:32,440 --> 00:38:36,400
Speaker 15: You see that in retail sales, industrial production, continuing claims,

676
00:38:36,599 --> 00:38:39,480
home builder sentiment, and actual new home starts.

677
00:38:41,840 --> 00:38:44,280
Speaker 8: And by the way, that's why yields in my viewer down.

678
00:38:46,840 --> 00:38:51,719
Speaker 15: And I think there was a lot of anticipatory behavior

679
00:38:51,800 --> 00:38:56,679
by consumers and businesses around the tariffs inventory, stockpiling, advanced

680
00:38:56,719 --> 00:38:59,880
purchasing by consumers and so forth, which meant that the

681
00:39:00,079 --> 00:39:04,960
impacts of the tariffs were delayed and so and then

682
00:39:05,000 --> 00:39:07,519
you see just US GDP forecasts at the beginning of

683
00:39:07,559 --> 00:39:11,400
the year January one, all in the twos now right

684
00:39:11,480 --> 00:39:15,119
around one percent, whatever forecast you want, Golden Sachs, World Bank,

685
00:39:15,199 --> 00:39:18,960
and so forth. And so I think, yes, we have

686
00:39:19,079 --> 00:39:22,880
seen a stunning level of resilience, but I think the

687
00:39:23,039 --> 00:39:26,000
prospects that it lasts are low. But I think the

688
00:39:26,079 --> 00:39:28,800
tariffs are just one level of this picture. But I mean,

689
00:39:31,400 --> 00:39:35,519
just ask ask yourself. If any of the three of

690
00:39:35,639 --> 00:39:40,360
us are average consumers and we're seeing all this news,

691
00:39:41,159 --> 00:39:43,880
it's going to cause us to be hesitant and and

692
00:39:44,159 --> 00:39:48,039
and the same with businesses on capital spending and other

693
00:39:48,079 --> 00:39:52,000
expansion plans, and the same with hiring. And I think

694
00:39:52,119 --> 00:39:55,559
that's about to begin to show up. Yes, but it's

695
00:39:55,599 --> 00:40:00,079
a it's a cumulate, it's a it's an overall impact. Now,

696
00:40:00,199 --> 00:40:02,320
you know, I'd like to be wrong. And the market,

697
00:40:02,800 --> 00:40:04,480
you know, as we all know, is a run around

698
00:40:04,480 --> 00:40:06,320
in all time high, although if you strip out the

699
00:40:06,400 --> 00:40:11,800
magnificent seven is lower and obviously a big thesis there

700
00:40:11,960 --> 00:40:15,719
is the we're in the earliest stages of a revolution

701
00:40:16,000 --> 00:40:18,559
in terms of ai that will arrival of the industrial.

702
00:40:18,199 --> 00:40:19,119
Speaker 2: Revolution and so forth.

703
00:40:19,519 --> 00:40:22,360
Speaker 15: I have no reason to question that, but I think

704
00:40:22,480 --> 00:40:27,559
the resilience we've seen so far is unlikely to maintain itself,

705
00:40:27,599 --> 00:40:29,039
as surprising as it has been.

706
00:40:29,360 --> 00:40:32,880
Speaker 1: So speaking of the markets, kind of a boring day

707
00:40:32,920 --> 00:40:34,960
today when all was said and done, despite the fact

708
00:40:34,960 --> 00:40:38,000
there's all this derm oil around the world. The Dow

709
00:40:38,159 --> 00:40:40,960
was down forty four to forty two thousand and one

710
00:40:41,119 --> 00:40:45,559
seventy one, the SMP down just one point, NASDAK went

711
00:40:45,639 --> 00:40:49,280
up twenty five points, so very little movement. The price

712
00:40:49,320 --> 00:40:52,800
of gold fell again, down twenty five dollars down to

713
00:40:52,880 --> 00:40:57,440
thirty three eighty one, in oil up about twenty five

714
00:40:57,559 --> 00:41:02,960
cents over seventy five for one barrel of oil. So

715
00:41:03,239 --> 00:41:09,280
before we leave you today, I trapped the entire commentary

716
00:41:10,079 --> 00:41:12,800
by the President as he was interacting with White House

717
00:41:12,840 --> 00:41:17,039
Press corps out on the lawn. They're putting up flagpoles

718
00:41:17,519 --> 00:41:19,239
on the north lawn and the south lawn, and he

719
00:41:19,360 --> 00:41:22,239
was out there with the construction cruise, and the reporters

720
00:41:22,280 --> 00:41:24,880
were there, and they asked him a bunch of questions

721
00:41:24,960 --> 00:41:27,440
I played for you earlier his comments about what he

722
00:41:27,599 --> 00:41:30,280
was going to do regarding he may or may not

723
00:41:30,519 --> 00:41:35,599
get involved in the war in Iran and Israel. But

724
00:41:35,719 --> 00:41:37,639
there was a lot more to it. So I promised

725
00:41:37,639 --> 00:41:41,079
you I would give you the whole thing unedited, and

726
00:41:41,760 --> 00:41:44,559
that is what we're going to play right here. So

727
00:41:44,760 --> 00:41:48,199
thank you for coming by today. We'll be back again tomorrow.

728
00:41:48,280 --> 00:41:52,119
And here is the President's full commentary today on the

729
00:41:52,199 --> 00:41:53,559
White House lawn, and you.

730
00:41:53,519 --> 00:41:57,440
Speaker 10: Even's answered questions about whether you are moving closer you

731
00:41:57,519 --> 00:42:00,159
believe the US is moving closer to striking Irani and

732
00:42:00,599 --> 00:42:01,559
nuclear facilities.

733
00:42:01,559 --> 00:42:02,639
Speaker 8: Where's your mindset on that?

734
00:42:02,719 --> 00:42:03,679
Speaker 3: You're going to say that? Right?

735
00:42:04,239 --> 00:42:06,280
Speaker 11: You don't seriously think I'm going to answer that question?

736
00:42:06,880 --> 00:42:11,760
Will you strike the Iranian nuclear component? And what time exactly,

737
00:42:11,840 --> 00:42:15,360
sir sir? Would you strike it? Would you please inform

738
00:42:15,480 --> 00:42:17,679
us so we can be there and watch. I mean,

739
00:42:17,960 --> 00:42:19,320
you don't know that I'm going to even do it.

740
00:42:19,679 --> 00:42:21,199
Speaker 3: You don't know. I may do it, I may not

741
00:42:21,320 --> 00:42:23,000
do it. I mean, nobody knows what I'm going to do.

742
00:42:23,079 --> 00:42:24,039
I can tell you this that.

743
00:42:26,119 --> 00:42:28,760
Speaker 11: Iran's got a lot of trouble and they want to

744
00:42:28,880 --> 00:42:32,159
negotiate and I said, why didn't you negotiate with me

745
00:42:32,320 --> 00:42:34,719
before all this death and destruction?

746
00:42:34,880 --> 00:42:35,280
Speaker 3: Why didn't you?

747
00:42:35,360 --> 00:42:38,159
Speaker 11: Nego, I said to the people, why didn't you negotiate

748
00:42:38,239 --> 00:42:41,079
with me two weeks ago? You could have done fine.

749
00:42:41,920 --> 00:42:45,400
You would have had a country. It's very sad to

750
00:42:45,480 --> 00:42:48,159
watch this. I mean, I've never seen anything like it,

751
00:42:48,400 --> 00:42:50,760
so you neveryone thought it was going to be the reverse.

752
00:42:50,800 --> 00:42:51,800
Speaker 3: I didn't. I didn't think so.

753
00:42:52,400 --> 00:42:54,480
Speaker 11: And they're telling him you got to you got to

754
00:42:54,519 --> 00:42:57,360
do something, you got to negotiate. And at the end,

755
00:42:57,480 --> 00:42:59,400
last minute, they said, no, we're not going to do that,

756
00:42:59,519 --> 00:43:02,719
and they got hit. Remember sixty days, And then came

757
00:43:02,800 --> 00:43:05,079
the sixty sixty one is going to become a very

758
00:43:05,159 --> 00:43:07,000
famous number. That was one hell of a hit, that

759
00:43:07,079 --> 00:43:10,280
first hit. That was one hell of a hit. Not sustainable,

760
00:43:10,480 --> 00:43:13,000
to be honest. That's where it ended. It ended on

761
00:43:13,039 --> 00:43:13,599
the first night.

762
00:43:13,679 --> 00:43:15,800
Speaker 10: Yes, too late, though, do you think it's too late

763
00:43:15,880 --> 00:43:16,199
to now?

764
00:43:16,480 --> 00:43:19,320
Speaker 3: Really, nothing's too late. The only thing too late is Powell.

765
00:43:20,239 --> 00:43:22,199
Powel's too late. Too late, Powell.

766
00:43:23,639 --> 00:43:24,119
Speaker 8: For president?

767
00:43:24,920 --> 00:43:27,400
Speaker 3: What have you? Ryan's reached out to you. Yes, and

768
00:43:27,519 --> 00:43:33,840
what I said, it's very late, you know, I said,

769
00:43:33,880 --> 00:43:34,599
it's very late.

770
00:43:35,280 --> 00:43:40,360
Speaker 11: To be talking we may meet. It's it's uh, I

771
00:43:40,400 --> 00:43:42,480
don't know. There's a big difference between now and a

772
00:43:42,599 --> 00:43:43,360
week ago, right.

773
00:43:44,119 --> 00:43:46,800
Speaker 3: I think he said there's someone that we may meet.

774
00:43:47,000 --> 00:43:48,559
This is about Van's.

775
00:43:49,199 --> 00:43:53,199
Speaker 11: Possibly about anybody. They even suggested they come to the

776
00:43:53,239 --> 00:43:57,519
White House. It's a big difference. But they've suggested that

777
00:43:57,599 --> 00:44:01,920
they come to the White House. That's you know, courageous,

778
00:44:02,000 --> 00:44:04,119
but you know it's like not easy for them to do,

779
00:44:05,000 --> 00:44:07,639
but they suggest. Because I can't go now because of

780
00:44:07,679 --> 00:44:09,400
what's going on. I had to come back early from

781
00:44:09,440 --> 00:44:11,719
the G seven, which was terrific by the way, in Canada,

782
00:44:12,000 --> 00:44:12,679
really terrific.

783
00:44:12,760 --> 00:44:15,079
Speaker 3: Good people. Is there a possibility of next week or

784
00:44:15,280 --> 00:44:16,320
sooner that you're.

785
00:44:17,079 --> 00:44:18,559
Speaker 11: Well, I don't know how much longer it's going to

786
00:44:18,639 --> 00:44:23,320
go home. They're totally defenseless, they have no air defense whatsoever.

787
00:44:24,039 --> 00:44:28,079
They're totally captured. You know, we've totally captured the air Brian, Yeah,

788
00:44:28,159 --> 00:44:28,760
it's the president.

789
00:44:28,840 --> 00:44:32,559
Speaker 16: You've been fairly compassionate towards the Iranian people's suggestions.

790
00:44:33,800 --> 00:44:35,840
Speaker 11: I know a lot of people from around from New York,

791
00:44:35,920 --> 00:44:38,119
from Washington, mostly from New York.

792
00:44:38,159 --> 00:44:39,239
Speaker 3: They're are incredible people.

793
00:44:39,280 --> 00:44:43,199
Speaker 11: They're smart, they're energetic, they can't be difficult, but so

794
00:44:43,320 --> 00:44:43,559
can you.

795
00:44:44,559 --> 00:44:44,719
Speaker 3: You know.

796
00:44:44,920 --> 00:44:48,360
Speaker 11: No, they're great people, and they're smart people, and those

797
00:44:48,400 --> 00:44:52,280
people are getting healthy out of them now. And it's

798
00:44:52,360 --> 00:44:55,519
really a shame. So stupid, it's so stupid. This is

799
00:44:55,559 --> 00:44:58,280
another one, you know, Russia, Ukraine is so stupid. What

800
00:44:58,440 --> 00:45:01,320
have never happened If I was president, you guys agree

801
00:45:01,360 --> 00:45:03,760
with that would have never happened. If I was president,

802
00:45:04,760 --> 00:45:06,599
Putin would have never done it. And I spoke to

803
00:45:06,719 --> 00:45:09,599
him yesterday and I said, you know, he actually offered

804
00:45:09,639 --> 00:45:12,559
to help mediate. I said, do me a favor, mediate

805
00:45:12,639 --> 00:45:16,280
your own. Let's mediate Russia first. Okay, I said, Vladimir,

806
00:45:16,599 --> 00:45:19,519
let's mediate Russia first. You can worry about this later.

807
00:45:20,239 --> 00:45:23,119
But uh, I think that's going to work out too.

808
00:45:23,159 --> 00:45:26,039
But it's so many people have been killed. The big

809
00:45:26,119 --> 00:45:28,599
thing with that one is far more people are dead

810
00:45:29,320 --> 00:45:32,719
than have been reported in the Ukraine, Russia, many many

811
00:45:32,800 --> 00:45:33,239
more people.

812
00:45:33,840 --> 00:45:36,239
Speaker 3: A building falls down, they say nobody was hurt, you know,

813
00:45:36,480 --> 00:45:37,840
so ridiculous.

814
00:45:40,599 --> 00:45:45,719
Speaker 11: Unconditional, very simple words, have very simple unconditional surrender that

815
00:45:45,920 --> 00:45:48,400
means I've had it. Okay, I've had it, I give

816
00:45:48,559 --> 00:45:51,599
up no more. Then we go blow up all the

817
00:45:52,079 --> 00:45:54,199
you know, all the nuclear stuff that's all over the

818
00:45:54,239 --> 00:45:57,400
place there. Now they had bad intentions, you know, the

819
00:45:57,880 --> 00:46:01,039
for forty years they've been saying death to America, death

820
00:46:01,119 --> 00:46:03,239
to Israel, death to anybody else that they didn't like.

821
00:46:04,079 --> 00:46:10,320
They were bullies, they were schoolyard bullies. And now they're

822
00:46:10,360 --> 00:46:13,039
not bullies anymore. But we'll see what happens. Look, nothing's

823
00:46:13,119 --> 00:46:14,159
finished until it's finished.

824
00:46:14,199 --> 00:46:14,320
Speaker 4: You know.

825
00:46:14,440 --> 00:46:17,280
Speaker 11: War is very complex. A lot of bad things can happen,

826
00:46:17,679 --> 00:46:19,360
a lot of turns are made, So I don't know.

827
00:46:19,599 --> 00:46:22,800
I wouldn't say that we want anything yet. I would

828
00:46:22,840 --> 00:46:25,360
say that we sure as all made a lot of

829
00:46:25,440 --> 00:46:28,360
progress and we'll see. The next week is going to

830
00:46:28,400 --> 00:46:30,800
be very big. Maybe less than a week, maybe less.

831
00:46:31,320 --> 00:46:33,239
But is there anybody here that said it would be

832
00:46:33,280 --> 00:46:38,039
okay to have to have a hostile very you know,

833
00:46:38,239 --> 00:46:41,039
zealous really, but to have a hostile country have a

834
00:46:41,199 --> 00:46:46,719
nuclear weapon that could destroy twenty five miles, but much

835
00:46:46,800 --> 00:46:49,320
more than that could destroy other nations just by the

836
00:46:49,400 --> 00:46:52,360
breeze blowing the dust. You know that dust blows to

837
00:46:52,440 --> 00:46:54,760
other nations and they get estimated. This is just not

838
00:46:54,840 --> 00:46:57,840
a threat you can have. And we've been threatened by

839
00:46:57,880 --> 00:47:00,719
Iran for many years. If you go back and look

840
00:47:00,800 --> 00:47:03,039
at my history, if you go back fifteen years, I

841
00:47:03,159 --> 00:47:06,159
was saying we cannot let Iran get a nuclear up.

842
00:47:06,159 --> 00:47:07,880
But I've been saying it for a long time, and

843
00:47:08,199 --> 00:47:10,719
I mean it more now than I ever meant it.

844
00:47:10,800 --> 00:47:13,360
Speaker 2: Yeah, rush on deportations, mister Price.

845
00:47:13,480 --> 00:47:16,679
Speaker 17: And you've said last meeting changes would becoming her farmers

846
00:47:16,679 --> 00:47:18,760
who have seen a lot of the workers they rely

847
00:47:18,960 --> 00:47:21,880
on taken away. But then DHS said this week that

848
00:47:22,039 --> 00:47:25,079
work site enforcement would remain in place, that it's a mornerstone.

849
00:47:25,119 --> 00:47:26,480
So what's your message to farmers.

850
00:47:27,800 --> 00:47:29,559
Speaker 11: We got to get the bad people out of here first,

851
00:47:29,599 --> 00:47:32,480
So we're doing that. We're taking them out by the thousands. Murderers,

852
00:47:32,639 --> 00:47:37,880
drug dealers, people that are mentally insane, from insane as islands.

853
00:47:38,360 --> 00:47:41,199
What they gave to us fallows, they gave for Do

854
00:47:41,320 --> 00:47:42,800
we have anybody and Anderson number?

855
00:47:43,000 --> 00:47:45,159
Speaker 3: And I don't think so. You've known all these people

856
00:47:45,239 --> 00:47:48,360
for a long time. Any illettle emmivent.

857
00:47:48,079 --> 00:47:52,719
Speaker 11: Said no, If they they'll find out, they'll be checking you.

858
00:47:52,920 --> 00:47:55,840
You won't believe your whole life will be destroyed because

859
00:47:55,880 --> 00:47:58,440
of this press conference. So I'll just destroy these people.

860
00:47:58,840 --> 00:48:00,639
I didn't want to tell them that you for this said,

861
00:48:01,480 --> 00:48:04,360
they'll end up being he's a so and so. This

862
00:48:04,519 --> 00:48:06,400
one is from you, no where.

863
00:48:07,320 --> 00:48:07,760
Speaker 3: Don't worry.

864
00:48:07,800 --> 00:48:09,840
Speaker 11: I think I think you're going to be okay, sir,

865
00:48:10,199 --> 00:48:14,920
I'll be right behind you, far behind you. I'll be

866
00:48:15,039 --> 00:48:17,119
right behind you. Now, look, we have to take care

867
00:48:17,199 --> 00:48:20,000
of our farmers. We have to take care of people

868
00:48:20,079 --> 00:48:22,519
that run leisure hotels. I mean, we got to take

869
00:48:22,519 --> 00:48:25,639
care of them. Most importantly, we have to get the

870
00:48:25,679 --> 00:48:29,320
criminals out of our country. And Biden led in thousands

871
00:48:29,400 --> 00:48:32,159
and eleven thousand and eight eighty eight murderers.

872
00:48:32,920 --> 00:48:35,440
Speaker 3: Many of them murdered more than one person. Can you

873
00:48:35,519 --> 00:48:36,239
believe it? Many?

874
00:48:36,280 --> 00:48:39,000
Speaker 11: Almost fifty percent of them murdered more than one per

875
00:48:39,239 --> 00:48:41,679
You let them into our country. They emptied out the

876
00:48:41,800 --> 00:48:44,320
jails of countries from all over the world, from the Congo,

877
00:48:44,480 --> 00:48:47,159
from Venezuela, from all over the place.

878
00:48:47,199 --> 00:48:48,760
Speaker 3: They emptied out. There's just many of them.

879
00:48:48,800 --> 00:48:50,679
Speaker 11: I would if I were running one of the countries,

880
00:48:50,679 --> 00:48:53,960
I would have emptied out my prison population into the US.

881
00:48:54,039 --> 00:48:57,400
And many countries did. And we're getting them out. Okay,

882
00:48:57,480 --> 00:48:59,239
we're getting them out, thank you very much.

883
00:48:59,320 --> 00:49:00,639
Speaker 3: Listen, let's just watch this, Brian.

884
00:49:00,679 --> 00:49:02,199
Speaker 16: Go ahead, you can't get to follow up on the

885
00:49:02,239 --> 00:49:04,800
immigration real quickly. Can you comment on the impact of

886
00:49:04,880 --> 00:49:07,800
a Trump card? How much of Yeah, we have a

887
00:49:08,559 --> 00:49:11,239
thing called the Trump card. This has not been done before,

888
00:49:11,280 --> 00:49:14,880
a thought out and for five million dollars.

889
00:49:14,960 --> 00:49:17,440
Speaker 11: This is usually people that would either be working for

890
00:49:17,599 --> 00:49:19,360
companies like Apple, I think is going to buy a

891
00:49:19,400 --> 00:49:22,039
lot of them because they can't get people into the country.

892
00:49:22,079 --> 00:49:23,639
You know, if you come in through the Southern Board,

893
00:49:23,679 --> 00:49:25,840
you have no problem. You can be a criminal, you

894
00:49:25,880 --> 00:49:27,519
can be a drug dealer, and you have no problem.

895
00:49:27,559 --> 00:49:29,800
But if you if you go and graduate number one

896
00:49:29,840 --> 00:49:31,840
in your class from a great school, you can't get

897
00:49:31,880 --> 00:49:36,360
a job because there's no access to getting it. You

898
00:49:36,400 --> 00:49:39,320
can't get a green card. So we're going to sell

899
00:49:39,760 --> 00:49:43,800
that to people, in some cases wealthy, in some cases

900
00:49:43,840 --> 00:49:47,400
not wealthy. They'll be paid for by universities. Look at Harvard,

901
00:49:47,440 --> 00:49:52,119
they've got fifty three billion dollars. That whole thing is

902
00:49:52,719 --> 00:49:55,199
coming to an end. It's it's amazing what we what

903
00:49:55,360 --> 00:49:58,840
we found out, what is discrace fifty three billion dollars.

904
00:49:59,440 --> 00:50:01,760
We gave them five six and some people say it's

905
00:50:01,760 --> 00:50:04,840
as much as nine billion dollars over a short period

906
00:50:04,840 --> 00:50:05,159
of time.

907
00:50:05,840 --> 00:50:07,400
Speaker 3: So that's very much coming to you.

908
00:50:07,599 --> 00:50:09,840
Speaker 11: They want to make a deal more than I would

909
00:50:09,840 --> 00:50:12,000
say Harvard wants to make a deal, more than Iran

910
00:50:12,079 --> 00:50:12,920
wants to make a deal.

911
00:50:13,000 --> 00:50:17,679
Speaker 3: And Iran wants to make a deal. But I mean

912
00:50:17,719 --> 00:50:18,280
a lot of things.

913
00:50:18,360 --> 00:50:20,400
Speaker 11: Look, a lot of things are happening on a lot

914
00:50:20,440 --> 00:50:23,199
of front's print, a lot of good things are happening.

915
00:50:24,079 --> 00:50:26,039
And frankly, you know, it's a little bit of a

916
00:50:26,840 --> 00:50:29,159
as we used to say liberal, Now they say progressive.

917
00:50:29,199 --> 00:50:31,480
I used to word liberal, progressive. To Night said word

918
00:50:31,559 --> 00:50:35,400
because they're destroying the country. They're really destroying these these

919
00:50:35,519 --> 00:50:38,400
liberal politicians are destroying our country. Look what they've done

920
00:50:38,840 --> 00:50:42,360
during Biden's four years. I mean, we're working on I mean,

921
00:50:42,440 --> 00:50:44,679
so much of our effort goes to getting people out

922
00:50:44,719 --> 00:50:46,280
of the country that should have never been here in

923
00:50:46,320 --> 00:50:49,440
the first place. What he's done to this country is

924
00:50:49,519 --> 00:50:51,039
not him. He had no idea what was going on.

925
00:50:51,159 --> 00:50:55,519
Everybody knows that it's other people. It's Lisa and this

926
00:50:55,679 --> 00:50:58,519
one and that, all these people, all this scum that

927
00:50:58,719 --> 00:51:01,800
was around the Oval, you know, the Oval office, or

928
00:51:02,440 --> 00:51:05,559
around the beautiful resolute desk telling this guy here do

929
00:51:05,719 --> 00:51:08,639
this or that, and not even telling they just go

930
00:51:08,800 --> 00:51:11,039
over to the auto pen and sign whatever the hell

931
00:51:11,079 --> 00:51:13,000
they wanted to sign to say, what do you want

932
00:51:13,039 --> 00:51:15,840
about God? He wasn't for open borders, he wasn't for

933
00:51:16,000 --> 00:51:17,400
transgender for everybody.

934
00:51:17,440 --> 00:51:21,199
Speaker 3: He wasn't for men playing in women's sports. But he

935
00:51:21,239 --> 00:51:22,239
has no idea. What the hell?

936
00:51:22,400 --> 00:51:26,880
Speaker 11: He has no idea? And they were very upset. They

937
00:51:26,920 --> 00:51:30,079
wanted Bernie Sanders. And after about a week of this guy,

938
00:51:30,159 --> 00:51:32,039
they said, wait a minute. We just said, we just

939
00:51:32,079 --> 00:51:35,719
said gold. This guy has no clue. He'll do anything

940
00:51:35,800 --> 00:51:38,480
we tell them. And then they realized they don't even

941
00:51:38,519 --> 00:51:41,360
have to get permission. They just go up to the autopen.

942
00:51:42,199 --> 00:51:46,000
That's a subversion. That's the takeover of our government, and

943
00:51:46,119 --> 00:51:47,599
you people are to start looking at it.

944
00:51:47,679 --> 00:51:48,480
Speaker 3: That's a takeover.

945
00:51:48,800 --> 00:51:51,159
Speaker 11: Not only did they sheet I guess you saw yesterday,

946
00:51:51,280 --> 00:51:54,760
came out with China and the license plates, tens of

947
00:51:54,880 --> 00:51:58,360
thousands of cards to use those cards to vote on

948
00:51:58,440 --> 00:52:03,480
the second election, my second twenty because as everybody here knows,

949
00:52:03,519 --> 00:52:06,239
I won that election by a lot. But the only

950
00:52:06,320 --> 00:52:08,039
good thing I can say is this is a much

951
00:52:08,320 --> 00:52:11,159
much more historic term than I think I could have

952
00:52:11,239 --> 00:52:13,639
had as a second term. This is a much more

953
00:52:13,880 --> 00:52:16,519
historic election. And now we're going to put up a

954
00:52:16,559 --> 00:52:18,679
beautiful flag pole. And we're going to put up a

955
00:52:18,719 --> 00:52:22,480
flag and I hope you enjoy it. And let's see

956
00:52:22,519 --> 00:52:25,920
how real people work. These are real people. You're not

957
00:52:25,960 --> 00:52:27,880
real people because you have it is soo easy. Okay,

958
00:52:28,119 --> 00:52:34,480
thank you very much. Close to one hundred feet. You

959
00:52:34,639 --> 00:52:38,400
have a meeting today with the with the with the

960
00:52:38,519 --> 00:52:42,599
Pekistani Army chief of staff. What are you looking what

961
00:52:42,679 --> 00:52:44,239
are you looking forward to achieving?

962
00:52:44,280 --> 00:52:45,000
Speaker 3: Diplomatic for you?

963
00:52:45,280 --> 00:52:49,400
Speaker 11: Well, I stopped the war between Pakistan. I love Pakistan.

964
00:52:49,559 --> 00:52:52,559
I think Modi is a fantastic man. I spoke to

965
00:52:52,639 --> 00:52:54,199
him last night. We're going to make a trade deal

966
00:52:54,280 --> 00:52:59,360
with with Modi of India. But I stopped the war

967
00:52:59,440 --> 00:53:00,159
between packed.

968
00:53:00,239 --> 00:53:01,360
Speaker 3: Sand and India.

969
00:53:02,320 --> 00:53:05,480
Speaker 11: This man was extremely influential in stopping it from the

970
00:53:05,559 --> 00:53:10,639
pakistansa Moti from the India side and others, and they

971
00:53:10,719 --> 00:53:12,840
were going at it and they're both nuclear countries.

972
00:53:12,880 --> 00:53:14,679
Speaker 3: I got to stop. I don't think I had one search.

973
00:53:14,719 --> 00:53:17,119
Speaker 11: Did I have one story written about I stopped the

974
00:53:17,199 --> 00:53:21,519
war between two major nations, major nuclear nations. I don't

975
00:53:21,559 --> 00:53:24,519
think I had a story written about it. You know

976
00:53:24,599 --> 00:53:28,239
why the people know the people know, did anybody write

977
00:53:28,320 --> 00:53:32,360
that story about the war? Did you rune it? Did

978
00:53:32,400 --> 00:53:33,360
you run it yours?

979
00:53:33,840 --> 00:53:40,320
Speaker 3: Just you run it. Investments that need to be made

980
00:53:40,360 --> 00:53:42,079
from Leene Wind departed here and.

981
00:53:42,400 --> 00:53:42,599
Speaker 2: No, no.

982
00:53:42,719 --> 00:53:45,039
Speaker 3: We put it so that Marine one is very far away.

983
00:53:45,119 --> 00:53:48,440
Speaker 11: We did it in conjunction with the Air Force with everybody,

984
00:53:48,559 --> 00:53:49,960
and everybody signed off on it.

985
00:53:50,679 --> 00:53:52,679
Speaker 3: We uh know, we have to have it far away.

986
00:53:52,719 --> 00:53:55,760
Speaker 11: It's very far from Marine one's up there south in

987
00:53:55,840 --> 00:53:58,440
the field, so you have to have a certain distance.

988
00:53:58,480 --> 00:54:02,000
We're about three times at distance. Okay, thank you very much, everybody.

989
00:54:02,119 --> 00:54:04,480
Speaker 3: Are you sure? Prime Minister net and Yah
