We are not going to allow this 84 00:04:57.920 --> 00:05:00.839 to happen here in our soil, and especially when we're 85 00:05:00.839 --> 00:05:04.399 getting close to the twenty fifth anniversary of nine to eleven. 86 00:05:04.759 --> 00:05:07.600 You know, mister US Attorney.

This was not you know, 90 00:05:16.279 --> 00:05:19.160 and you know it better than anybody. Sometimes these people 91 00:05:19.279 --> 00:05:21.879 plot and you don't know how far this woman went 92 00:05:21.920 --> 00:05:25.120 to the effort of surveilling the Capitol at least five times. 93 00:05:25.480 --> 00:05:28.959 She bought explosive materials, she bought a gun, She talked 94 00:05:28.959 --> 00:05:32.560 about wanting to do as much damage to legislators, to police. 95 00:05:33.079 --> 00:05:37.120 This was a real, planned, methodical attack, and she was 96 00:05:37.279 --> 00:05:39.879 she was definitely in the works, right. I mean, this 97 00:05:40.040 --> 00:05:41.399 was really scary. 98 00:05:42.480 --> 00:05:45.439 But no doubt about it, Rita. And you know, I 99 00:05:45.480 --> 00:05:51.040 have to say thank thanks to the FBI and this office. 100 00:05:51.120 --> 00:05:55.319 We did this in a month, where typically these investigations 101 00:05:55.319 --> 00:05:58.040 could go on and on and on, but when I 102 00:05:58.079 --> 00:06:01.160 got here as the US attorney, I changed that model. 103 00:06:01.399 --> 00:06:05.879 I said, we don't have the luxury of long term investigations. 104 00:06:06.040 --> 00:06:09.480 Once we're onto something, we need to aggressively pursue it. 105 00:06:09.519 --> 00:06:11.600 And I do want to say for the public in 106 00:06:11.639 --> 00:06:13.839 general here in the Capitol region, there was not one 107 00:06:13.920 --> 00:06:16.800 second that she was not under surveillance twenty four hours 108 00:06:16.800 --> 00:06:18.240 a day, seven days a week. 109 00:06:19.360 --> 00:06:23.040 So you felt you had it under control and nothing 110 00:06:23.040 --> 00:06:24.040 could go wrong at. 111 00:06:23.879 --> 00:06:29.319 That point, absolutely, John. I just wanted to say, you 112 00:06:29.360 --> 00:06:32.879 know a couple of things that she is quoted as saying. 113 00:06:33.839 --> 00:06:37.399 One is quote, praise be to Allah, for September eleventh. 114 00:06:37.600 --> 00:06:37.680 End. 115 00:06:37.759 --> 00:06:38.199 Quote. 116 00:06:38.639 --> 00:06:41.399 Wow, I can't get any more more wicked than that. 117 00:06:41.519 --> 00:06:45.120 And anybody who is who is grateful or thinks that 118 00:06:45.199 --> 00:06:48.800 nine to eleven was something that was deserved, I would say, 119 00:06:49.000 --> 00:06:52.040 check your citizenship at the door and go someplace else. 120 00:06:52.879 --> 00:06:55.360 I hope they don't have citizenship. They should lose their 121 00:06:55.399 --> 00:07:00.519 citizenship if they if they're performing those kinds of acts. Now, 122 00:07:00.600 --> 00:07:03.959 let me ask you one more quick question. I'm not 123 00:07:04.360 --> 00:07:07.519 I'm not sure you're allowed to talk about it. We 124 00:07:07.720 --> 00:07:11.759 heard that there's a big investigation going on on voting 125 00:07:11.839 --> 00:07:15.000 patterns in the city of New York. 126 00:07:15.759 --> 00:07:22.639 Well, John, as you know, I cannot confirm or deny 127 00:07:23.319 --> 00:07:28.240 any ongoing investigations whatsoever, but I can tell you that, uh, 128 00:07:28.439 --> 00:07:35.319 this Justice Department is is laser focused on routing out 129 00:07:35.439 --> 00:07:39.279 election fraud in every corner. And you just saw the 130 00:07:39.399 --> 00:07:43.480 Deputy Attorney General, Harmy Dillon had announced that there will 131 00:07:43.519 --> 00:07:46.879 be a thousand monitors that are going to be dispatched 132 00:07:47.240 --> 00:07:51.959 to monitor the mid term elections. So rest assured this 133 00:07:52.040 --> 00:07:56.399 office is laser focused on protecting the integrity of our 134 00:07:56.639 --> 00:08:01.000 of our democracy and our ballots understood. 135 00:08:01.079 --> 00:08:05.199 And that's the number one thing because if you know 136 00:08:05.959 --> 00:08:09.959 eighty percent of the people poth whether the Democrats, Republicans, 137 00:08:09.959 --> 00:08:14.160 are independents, say they need voter ID. And if people 138 00:08:14.279 --> 00:08:20.160 are are doing the wrong things and the citizens and 139 00:08:20.199 --> 00:08:22.079 the American people deserve to know about. 140 00:08:21.879 --> 00:08:26.000 It, no question about it. It just makes no sense 141 00:08:26.040 --> 00:08:29.800 to me why voter I D should not be implemented 142 00:08:29.839 --> 00:08:32.559 in anybody who's against voter ID. You have to you know, 143 00:08:32.960 --> 00:08:35.960 think about that. Your intennas have to go up. Why, well, 144 00:08:36.039 --> 00:08:38.000 you have to voter ID. You have to have ID 145 00:08:38.200 --> 00:08:43.120 for everything in this country. So what the main thing 146 00:08:43.200 --> 00:08:46.519 that that separates this country from every other country in 147 00:08:46.559 --> 00:08:48.519 the world. No, you don't need ID. 148 00:08:49.519 --> 00:08:54.039 Well, thank you so much for calling in this Thursday night, 149 00:08:54.120 --> 00:08:57.360 my god, it's almost the weekend.

So this woman wanted 180 00:10:30.919 --> 00:10:34.039 to kill, she said, one hundred senators and destroy as 181 00:10:34.120 --> 00:10:36.720 much of the building as possible, then she wanted to 182 00:10:36.879 --> 00:10:41.879 escape to Syria. This is an Albany resident, a mind standing, 183 00:10:41.919 --> 00:10:45.360 an American citizen who has become radicalized. 184 00:10:45.399 --> 00:10:45.559 Here. 185 00:10:45.600 --> 00:10:49.000 It just shows you, you know, the the amount of 186 00:10:49.840 --> 00:10:53.799 danger out there with people like this, very very very 187 00:10:53.799 --> 00:10:56.159 frightening and hopefully very sobering for the people of New 188 00:10:56.240 --> 00:10:57.919 York State and Judge Weinberg. 189 00:10:58.320 --> 00:11:01.039 So, George, I had the occasion I read the FBI 190 00:11:01.159 --> 00:11:04.960 Afford David in support of this, and this woman not 191 00:11:05.039 --> 00:11:07.639 only did all that homework and the research, she looked 192 00:11:07.679 --> 00:11:09.799 up what the law was and what her legal exposure 193 00:11:09.879 --> 00:11:13.399 was if she got caught, and she referenceds so I 194 00:11:13.399 --> 00:11:16.000 know I'm facing at least twenty years in jail. So 195 00:11:16.039 --> 00:11:19.279 she know only and willfully did this. George, It's absolutely 196 00:11:19.279 --> 00:11:21.879 preposterous to think that somebody would do that. But I 197 00:11:21.919 --> 00:11:24.559 want to ask you this question. You deal with your 198 00:11:24.600 --> 00:11:27.720 fellow legislators up there, and you have a lot of 199 00:11:27.720 --> 00:11:31.519 the Democrats who've been apologists for these radical extremists. How 200 00:11:31.519 --> 00:11:33.320 do they feel about getting blown up in the same 201 00:11:33.360 --> 00:11:36.559 building with the people who don't agree with their politics. 202 00:11:36.759 --> 00:11:39.080 Everyone they blow up buildings like that, They take out 203 00:11:39.080 --> 00:11:43.679 everybody Independence, Democrats, Republicans, school children on a tour. What 204 00:11:43.720 --> 00:11:46.480 do your thoughts about that, George, Well. 205 00:11:46.279 --> 00:11:49.360 Look, these people are anti American, and unfortunately, we have 206 00:11:49.440 --> 00:11:53.039 people that have won primaries in particularly in New York 207 00:11:53.080 --> 00:11:56.840 City that have the same anti American values that will 208 00:11:56.879 --> 00:11:59.879 be members of the legislature sitting in that chamber. And 209 00:12:00.159 --> 00:12:02.600 that is the most frightening part. I'm also grateful that 210 00:12:03.120 --> 00:12:06.360 she's being charged federally because, you know, believe it or not, 211 00:12:07.000 --> 00:12:10.200 until recently, when bail reform was put in place, several 212 00:12:10.320 --> 00:12:13.360 terrorist charges were not bail eligible, and there's still one 213 00:12:13.399 --> 00:12:16.840 that is not bail eligible right now, making a terroristic threat. 214 00:12:17.120 --> 00:12:21.000 So thank goodness, this was a federal operation. She's thirty 215 00:12:21.000 --> 00:12:24.120 five years old. And if the Democrats in this next 216 00:12:24.159 --> 00:12:26.399 session pushed the bill that they've wanted to push for 217 00:12:26.440 --> 00:12:29.600 a long time elder parole, this woman, if she wasn't 218 00:12:29.679 --> 00:12:33.240 charged federally, would be eligible for parole in twenty years 219 00:12:33.240 --> 00:12:36.919 at the age of fifty five. That's the kind of 220 00:12:37.720 --> 00:12:41.759 laws that the Democrats and Almaney are passing. So I 221 00:12:41.759 --> 00:12:43.240 hope this wakes them up. I hope this is a 222 00:12:43.240 --> 00:12:46.080 sobering for them that we need to we need to 223 00:12:46.120 --> 00:12:48.200 protect the people of New York State first and foremost, 224 00:12:48.399 --> 00:12:51.440 and not put politics in front of public safety. 225 00:12:51.240 --> 00:12:53.679 You know, Santra Barrella. One of the other things I 226 00:12:53.679 --> 00:12:56.919 found so chilling about what when they were laying out 227 00:12:57.159 --> 00:13:01.159 what they had on this woman, the information her, and 228 00:13:01.200 --> 00:13:03.679 it was in writing, and she's on video, you know, 229 00:13:03.759 --> 00:13:06.000 talking about all all this and planning to blow up. 230 00:13:06.279 --> 00:13:09.440 Her plan was to carry out this attack on the 231 00:13:09.480 --> 00:13:12.480 New York State legislature of what you're a part of. 232 00:13:12.519 --> 00:13:16.200 There was to do that, then to flee to Syria 233 00:13:16.559 --> 00:13:18.879 and then come back. And she said, if I can 234 00:13:18.879 --> 00:13:20.799 get away with it, then my plan is to try 235 00:13:20.799 --> 00:13:23.759 the White House or New Year's Eve Times Square. 236 00:13:23.840 --> 00:13:30.120 This woman was crazy, Yes, absolutely, and unfortunately she's probably 237 00:13:30.159 --> 00:13:32.080 not the only one like this out there that has 238 00:13:32.159 --> 00:13:35.559 become radicalized, you know. And it just shows you the 239 00:13:35.600 --> 00:13:38.840 impact of this anti American sentiment. You know, I remember 240 00:13:38.879 --> 00:13:42.120 not that long ago, when you know, some of the 241 00:13:42.159 --> 00:13:45.200 words of Osama bin Laden were circulating around on social 242 00:13:45.279 --> 00:13:48.000 media and young people who weren't even alive when nine 243 00:13:48.000 --> 00:13:51.960 to eleven occurred, were embracing his anti American rhetoric. So 244 00:13:52.279 --> 00:13:55.000 this is a very serious situation and We have a 245 00:13:55.039 --> 00:13:59.679 lot of people out there, including elected officials that you know, 246 00:13:59.720 --> 00:14:04.039 have questioned, uh, you know, the the validation of the 247 00:14:04.080 --> 00:14:06.759 United States, our system of government, and the in our 248 00:14:06.799 --> 00:14:11.320 American way of life. And this should hopefully open some eyes. 249 00:14:11.480 --> 00:14:14.919 You know, look at this one was obviously severely mentally 250 00:14:14.960 --> 00:14:18.320 deranged and evil, there's no question about it. 251 00:14:18.440 --> 00:14:21.000 But she is not unique. I can guarantee you. 252 00:14:20.960 --> 00:14:24.360 That, George, I respectfully filed the centing opinion. Let me 253 00:14:24.399 --> 00:14:28.960 tell you, as a retired Supreme Court justice, she fits 254 00:14:29.039 --> 00:14:33.919 the legal definition of sanity. She knowingly and willfully did this. 255 00:14:34.080 --> 00:14:38.200 She knew the natural and probable consequences of her actions, 256 00:14:38.679 --> 00:14:42.120 and she's not legally insane. And so if they try 257 00:14:42.159 --> 00:14:45.080 to give a defense that she's insane, it's wrong. It 258 00:14:45.120 --> 00:14:47.679 should be thrown out. This woman knew exactly what she did, 259 00:14:47.759 --> 00:14:49.960 which is why I made the point that she researched 260 00:14:49.960 --> 00:14:52.679 the law, and she knew exactly that it was wrong, 261 00:14:52.759 --> 00:14:54.720 and she planned anyway. 262 00:14:54.240 --> 00:14:55.799 And she planned her getaway too, right. 263 00:14:56.200 --> 00:14:59.559 So there was so George for the first time, and 264 00:14:59.639 --> 00:15:01.879 I was spectful relationship. I dissent. 265 00:15:02.120 --> 00:15:03.919 We're writing that down, George. 266 00:15:04.519 --> 00:15:06.360 Yes, and Judge, I hope you're right. 267 00:15:06.399 --> 00:15:08.919 I'm happy to be wrong. And look I am. 268 00:15:09.000 --> 00:15:11.080 I am grateful that the federal government is handling this, 269 00:15:11.399 --> 00:15:14.320 and I hopefully would you know the Department of Justice 270 00:15:14.320 --> 00:15:14.840 hand this. 271 00:15:14.840 --> 00:15:16.440 This one will never see the light of day again. 272 00:15:16.559 --> 00:15:20.480 Yeah, thank god, thank god. We also have Governor David 273 00:15:20.519 --> 00:15:21.240 Patterson here. 274 00:15:21.600 --> 00:15:25.480 Well, Senator, I'll tell you what, I'll try to break 275 00:15:25.519 --> 00:15:30.240 the tie here. As long as she knew the difference 276 00:15:30.279 --> 00:15:32.759 between right and wrong, then I have to give this 277 00:15:32.840 --> 00:15:34.000 one to Judge Weinberg. 278 00:15:34.799 --> 00:15:36.879 Oh, I gotta say with them, you're gonna give him 279 00:15:36.879 --> 00:15:38.399 a big as she's going to cost. 280 00:15:38.240 --> 00:15:40.559 Me at lunch or dinner it is. 281 00:15:41.080 --> 00:15:41.840 Yeah, that's right. 282 00:15:42.440 --> 00:15:46.120 I mean she's metaphorically crazy. Whether legally that's a whole 283 00:15:46.159 --> 00:15:48.519 other issue. We all agree on that, right, we all 284 00:15:48.559 --> 00:15:51.360 agree on that, all concur, We all concur. You know 285 00:15:51.399 --> 00:15:54.639 what's so scary, George? You hit a powerful point about 286 00:15:54.679 --> 00:15:57.399 how many others are like that. One of the things 287 00:15:57.399 --> 00:16:00.120 I found really chilling. And we just heard from the 288 00:16:00.159 --> 00:16:03.200 first Assistant US Attorney, John Sarcone, who was talking about 289 00:16:03.240 --> 00:16:06.799 how she said Praise be to Allah about nine to eleven. 290 00:16:06.840 --> 00:16:09.679 Here we're heading into the twenty fifth anniversary. I mean, 291 00:16:09.720 --> 00:16:13.480 this is really scary. And one of the things from 292 00:16:13.519 --> 00:16:17.440 the press conference, she told the source that she started 293 00:16:17.480 --> 00:16:20.120 out as a young girl who is a flag waving 294 00:16:20.679 --> 00:16:25.240 pro America young gal, and then got converted, and she said, 295 00:16:25.279 --> 00:16:28.039 got radicalized online to the point where she was putting 296 00:16:28.120 --> 00:16:30.799 nine to eleven stickers, like, you know, I want to 297 00:16:30.840 --> 00:16:34.080 go after what happened here was a good thing. So 298 00:16:34.879 --> 00:16:37.759 what's so scary is how many others are like that 299 00:16:37.759 --> 00:16:41.279 that we're flag raving, that are getting it now online. 300 00:16:41.440 --> 00:16:44.679 And as we're approaching a very somber anniversary, this is 301 00:16:44.759 --> 00:16:47.279 chilling absolutely well. 302 00:16:47.320 --> 00:16:49.039 You know, I'm reminded of the words of Ronald Reagan 303 00:16:49.039 --> 00:16:51.639 where he said that our freedom is never more than 304 00:16:51.720 --> 00:16:55.039 one generation from extinction. And here we are twenty five years, 305 00:16:55.080 --> 00:16:58.240 which is the technical definition for a generation from the 306 00:16:58.840 --> 00:16:59.919 events of nine to eleven. 307 00:17:00.039 --> 00:17:02.039 And we have people now in. 308 00:17:01.919 --> 00:17:04.279 The New York State government and people that will be 309 00:17:04.839 --> 00:17:08.319 lawmakers in Albany that believe that nine to eleven was 310 00:17:08.359 --> 00:17:11.480 America's fault. That tells you how much has changed in 311 00:17:11.599 --> 00:17:14.359 literally one generation. So I hope we heed the words 312 00:17:14.359 --> 00:17:16.359 of Ronald Reagan and we push back against this and 313 00:17:16.400 --> 00:17:19.160 we remind people that this is the greatest nation on earth, 314 00:17:19.359 --> 00:17:22.880 and that New York State is certainly the epicenter of 315 00:17:22.960 --> 00:17:26.119 so many I think good things, but we've lost our 316 00:17:26.160 --> 00:17:28.880 way in so many ways. We need to restore our 317 00:17:28.960 --> 00:17:34.279 faith in America and certainly remind everyone in America, particularly 318 00:17:34.279 --> 00:17:36.440 here in New York State, that this is a great 319 00:17:36.480 --> 00:17:39.119 and righteous nation that has sent its children around the 320 00:17:39.119 --> 00:17:42.039 world to defend liberty for another reason as to bring 321 00:17:42.119 --> 00:17:44.839 liberty and freedom to others. That's the America that I 322 00:17:44.880 --> 00:17:47.039 know and respect, and that's what was attacked on nine 323 00:17:47.079 --> 00:17:47.400 to eleven. 324 00:17:47.680 --> 00:17:51.240 One hundred percent. We must stand together on that. Thank 325 00:17:51.279 --> 00:17:54.720 you so much, Thank you, New York State Senator George BURRELLO. 326 00:17:54.839 --> 00:17:58.160 Thank you. Great to have you. Thank you. Yeah, the 327 00:17:58.240 --> 00:18:02.559 great county right, that was good, Thank you, thank you 328 00:18:02.599 --> 00:18:05.839 so much. Thank you. And John we have now with us. 329 00:18:05.599 --> 00:18:10.240 Oh, the famous and great Kat mcfalland and tomorrow morning 330 00:18:10.279 --> 00:18:13.160 you should come to breakfast again and we have. 331 00:18:13.119 --> 00:18:16.000 A Saturday morning. 332 00:18:16.920 --> 00:18:19.880 But kt there's so many things going on. I don't 333 00:18:19.880 --> 00:18:22.519 know if the zigg or the zags, So tell us 334 00:18:22.519 --> 00:18:24.440 if we should be zigging or zagging. 335 00:18:25.480 --> 00:18:29.119 You should just be steady and hold the course. President 336 00:18:29.119 --> 00:18:31.920 Trump knows exactly what he's doing with Iran, and it's 337 00:18:31.960 --> 00:18:35.759 hard to be patient. America is our worst attribute, right, 338 00:18:35.759 --> 00:18:38.640 We're always impatient about everything. But we need to be 339 00:18:38.839 --> 00:18:41.960 patient about Iran because Iran is going to collapse. Their 340 00:18:42.000 --> 00:18:46.119 economy is in free fall, and every day, every week 341 00:18:46.519 --> 00:18:48.759 is getting worse and worse and worse. And there is 342 00:18:48.920 --> 00:18:50.920 some point, and I don't know if it's next week, 343 00:18:51.000 --> 00:18:54.119 next month, three months from now. The Iranian people are 344 00:18:54.200 --> 00:18:55.640 just going to not tolerate it. 345 00:18:55.880 --> 00:18:55.960 Now. 346 00:18:56.000 --> 00:18:58.960 I don't think that it's going to be a public 347 00:18:59.440 --> 00:19:02.799 outcross and demonstrations that are going to topple the government. 348 00:19:02.880 --> 00:19:05.799 My guess is that the government will topple from within, 349 00:19:06.240 --> 00:19:09.599 like a palace coup of currents call a colonel's revolution, 350 00:19:09.720 --> 00:19:12.680 where the colonels, whether they're in the military, the mid 351 00:19:12.680 --> 00:19:16.279 tier people in the military, or in government, or in 352 00:19:17.039 --> 00:19:20.680 the religious establishment, they just say enough is enough. We 353 00:19:20.759 --> 00:19:23.279 don't want to condemn our country in ninety million people 354 00:19:23.680 --> 00:19:27.519 to a generation of extreme poverty and destitution. We're going 355 00:19:27.599 --> 00:19:29.119 to cut a deal with the United States. 356 00:19:29.480 --> 00:19:31.000 Well, let's hope that happens soon. 357 00:19:31.160 --> 00:19:34.960 Ed Cock KT, what can we do in order to 358 00:19:35.200 --> 00:19:38.279 encourage that kind of a colonel's action. 359 00:19:39.400 --> 00:19:43.839 Well, presumably we're working behind the scenes US intelligence and 360 00:19:44.000 --> 00:19:47.480 intelligence of our golf Arab allies that we're working with 361 00:19:47.599 --> 00:19:49.880 people with inside of a run. I mean to me, 362 00:19:49.920 --> 00:19:52.400 it's very similar add to what happened in the Cold 363 00:19:52.400 --> 00:19:54.920 War and how we won the Cold War. It was 364 00:19:55.160 --> 00:19:58.519 Ronald Reagan had a strangulation theory and Ana Konda theory 365 00:19:59.119 --> 00:20:03.160 slowly surely strangle them economically. And the Cold War it 366 00:20:03.319 --> 00:20:06.880 was pushing them into an arms race that they couldn't 367 00:20:06.880 --> 00:20:10.359 compete with, and massive defense spending which screwed up their economy. 368 00:20:10.680 --> 00:20:13.119 It was shutting them out of the international banking system. 369 00:20:13.519 --> 00:20:17.240 It was getting our golf Arab allies to pump a 370 00:20:17.279 --> 00:20:20.039 lot more oil to thereby lower the global price of 371 00:20:20.079 --> 00:20:23.960 oil and thereby lower Iran's revenues, I mean, sorry, Russia's revenues. 372 00:20:24.000 --> 00:20:28.119 And then when Russia had a grain crisis, that was 373 00:20:28.119 --> 00:20:30.359 at the point at which the Russian government knew they 374 00:20:30.359 --> 00:20:33.000 couldn't feed their people, so they had they had to 375 00:20:33.720 --> 00:20:35.519 you know, the Soviet Union collapse, and they kind to 376 00:20:35.519 --> 00:20:37.359 deal with us on our terms. I think that's what 377 00:20:37.440 --> 00:20:40.680 happens with Iran. I hope that's what happens. However, I 378 00:20:40.720 --> 00:20:44.000 am very nervous that in the immediate term that Iran 379 00:20:44.119 --> 00:20:46.480 the regime will try to pull some kind of October 380 00:20:46.519 --> 00:20:50.680 surprise attack, the US attack our allies in the region 381 00:20:51.039 --> 00:20:54.759 to force US either to act or withdrawing. Will withdraw? 382 00:20:54.920 --> 00:20:57.759 Hey, te, is there any Arab countries on iran side 383 00:20:57.799 --> 00:21:02.359 other than China or Russia? And you know, Russia has 384 00:21:02.400 --> 00:21:04.279 their own problems. I mean, they have to call in 385 00:21:04.359 --> 00:21:09.960 North Koreans. I mean, and so there's no other you know, 386 00:21:10.759 --> 00:21:12.519 no other Arab countries. 387 00:21:13.160 --> 00:21:16.400 No other Arab countries at all, just the opposite. In fact, 388 00:21:16.400 --> 00:21:19.200 the countries which normally sit on the sidelines and watch 389 00:21:19.240 --> 00:21:21.880 wars in the Middle East and never take aside. So 390 00:21:21.920 --> 00:21:26.160 the Gulf Arabs, of the saudiast Uae, Bahrain, Kuwait, they're 391 00:21:26.160 --> 00:21:27.799 all on our side. In fact, some of them are 392 00:21:27.799 --> 00:21:32.960 actually fighting with Israeli military with US against Iran. So 393 00:21:33.359 --> 00:21:35.680 just the opposite. I mean, that's the other great takeaway 394 00:21:35.680 --> 00:21:38.799 from the Middle East policy is so has changed the 395 00:21:38.920 --> 00:21:41.839 architecture of the entire Middle East. And then finally, the 396 00:21:41.880 --> 00:21:45.160 Strait of Hormuz is every day it's becoming less relevant 397 00:21:45.400 --> 00:21:48.359 as countries move their oil by pipeline and they're building 398 00:21:48.400 --> 00:21:52.680 new pipelines and as countries by American instead of Middle 399 00:21:52.720 --> 00:21:53.359 Eastern oil. 400 00:21:54.400 --> 00:21:57.640 Yeah, we have to do that because you can't allow 401 00:21:57.240 --> 00:22:02.039
