WEBVTT 1 00:00:00.080 --> 00:00:02.879 Tonight, we have a war, an election, and a deadly 2 00:00:02.960 --> 00:00:06.639 shooting to cover. Congressman Chip Roy of Texas is here. Also, 3 00:00:07.000 --> 00:00:10.119 the last time Colonel Douglas McGregor was on this program, 4 00:00:10.400 --> 00:00:14.000 he told us the future regarding attacks on Iran. We 5 00:00:14.119 --> 00:00:16.559 check back in to get his predictions on what happens 6 00:00:16.600 --> 00:00:19.679 next in this ongoing war. A member of the Iranian 7 00:00:19.719 --> 00:00:23.039 resistance joins us to sort out who has legitimacy within 8 00:00:23.199 --> 00:00:26.800 Iran at this moment. And Texas Agriculture Commissioner Sid Miller 9 00:00:26.879 --> 00:00:30.839 previews tomorrow's big primary election in Texas. It's all next 10 00:00:30.879 --> 00:00:35.039 to the Matt Gates Show. Let's do this shaking up Washington, 11 00:00:35.119 --> 00:00:36.560 d C. We're breaking the fever. 12 00:00:37.280 --> 00:00:39.119 Do you haven't watch this guy on television. 13 00:00:39.640 --> 00:00:40.840 It's like a machine. 14 00:00:41.399 --> 00:00:43.640 He's great, Matt Gates. 15 00:00:46.799 --> 00:00:50.159 What happens in Iran now that Komani is dead and 16 00:00:50.200 --> 00:00:52.240 a new supreme leader is to take control of the 17 00:00:52.280 --> 00:00:55.679 Persian country of nearly ninety million people. President Trump has 18 00:00:55.679 --> 00:00:59.840 said the US bombing campaign will continue. Six Americans have 19 00:01:00.079 --> 00:01:03.759 tragically been killed in Iran's retaliatory strikes on the United 20 00:01:03.840 --> 00:01:07.239 States bases in the Middle East. An American F fifteen 21 00:01:07.400 --> 00:01:09.760 was seen falling out of the sky in Kuwait today. 22 00:01:12.040 --> 00:01:12.319 How to be? 23 00:01:12.760 --> 00:01:14.879 How to be? 24 00:01:19.280 --> 00:01:21.159 We also got this picture of what appears to be 25 00:01:21.200 --> 00:01:23.560 an American pilot in the back of a Kuwaiti truck 26 00:01:23.879 --> 00:01:27.040 and another down pilot approached by Kuwaiti locals. 27 00:01:27.799 --> 00:01:31.560 What is yes, one minute, one minute? I should be 28 00:01:31.879 --> 00:01:38.040 but one minute, one minute? Minute, I'm here? 29 00:01:38.680 --> 00:01:40.640 You would save you can save everything? 30 00:01:40.640 --> 00:01:46.000 Good, no problem, Thank you for helping us everything quite. 31 00:01:47.719 --> 00:01:50.280 Central Command put out this statement on the incident, saying 32 00:01:50.319 --> 00:01:53.719 it was friendly fire and that three of our planes 33 00:01:53.760 --> 00:01:58.239 were mistakenly shot down by Kuwaiti air defenses on Capitol Hill. 34 00:01:58.280 --> 00:02:01.719 Defense contractors would regularly chief members of Congress on the 35 00:02:01.799 --> 00:02:05.599 Armed Services Committee like me about events like this. They 36 00:02:05.680 --> 00:02:08.719 might say something like, well, at least this proves the 37 00:02:08.759 --> 00:02:12.840 stuff we sold to Kuwait actually works. This war isn't 38 00:02:12.879 --> 00:02:16.039 even a week old, and US made weapons sold to 39 00:02:16.080 --> 00:02:19.120 a US ally were just used to shoot down three 40 00:02:19.280 --> 00:02:24.680 US planes with American pilots. Friendly fire casualties are among 41 00:02:24.800 --> 00:02:28.199 the most heartbreaking realities of war. Who could forget the 42 00:02:28.199 --> 00:02:31.280 story of NFL A safety Pat Tillman. He left a 43 00:02:31.360 --> 00:02:34.199 multimillion dollar contract with the Arizona Cardinals to enlist in 44 00:02:34.199 --> 00:02:36.840 the United States Army following nine to eleven. He was 45 00:02:36.919 --> 00:02:39.879 killed in two thousand and four in a friendly fire incident. 46 00:02:39.919 --> 00:02:43.000 The military then lied about how he died for years. 47 00:02:43.360 --> 00:02:46.840 We now know the truth about Pat Tillman and the 48 00:02:46.879 --> 00:02:49.719 fog of war. President Trump said from mar A Lago 49 00:02:49.800 --> 00:02:52.039 that conducting this war is America's duty. 50 00:02:53.039 --> 00:02:57.960 We're undertaking this massive operation not merely to insure security 51 00:02:58.000 --> 00:03:01.800 for our own time and play, but for our children 52 00:03:01.879 --> 00:03:05.639 and their children, just as our ancestors have done for us. 53 00:03:05.840 --> 00:03:09.000 This is the duty and the burden of a free people. 54 00:03:10.199 --> 00:03:13.560 These actions are right, and they are necessary to ensure 55 00:03:13.599 --> 00:03:18.639 that Americans will never have to face a radical, bloodthirsty 56 00:03:18.919 --> 00:03:23.479 terrorist regime armed with nuclear weapons and lots of threats. 57 00:03:24.759 --> 00:03:27.680 Many of Iran's leadership have been killed in what we 58 00:03:27.759 --> 00:03:32.360 call a decapitation strike. Iran is trying to reconstitute a government. 59 00:03:32.400 --> 00:03:36.199 But keep in mind, this is an actual country ninety 60 00:03:36.240 --> 00:03:40.919 million people, not some jungle dictatorship, and not some Mexican cartel. 61 00:03:41.400 --> 00:03:45.639 This isn't an elmentcho scenario. The Iranian regime is considerably 62 00:03:45.680 --> 00:03:49.159 more sophisticated than any enemy. America has gone into direct 63 00:03:49.199 --> 00:03:52.199 kinetic WARWI and well over half a century, and we 64 00:03:52.199 --> 00:03:55.120 don't have a good track record of winning those wars 65 00:03:55.199 --> 00:03:59.400 against less capable nations than Iran. Iran today is militarily 66 00:03:59.439 --> 00:04:02.240 stronger than I was in two thousand and three. Iran 67 00:04:02.319 --> 00:04:05.280 has a larger active military about six hundred thousand personnel 68 00:04:05.560 --> 00:04:09.599 and significant paramilitary forces, missiles, and air defense systems, when 69 00:04:09.759 --> 00:04:13.599 compared to Iraq's two thousand and three military, which was smaller, 70 00:04:13.719 --> 00:04:17.160 less advanced, and often struggled with outdated equipment and poor 71 00:04:17.240 --> 00:04:20.879 performance against US led forces. And I don't even think 72 00:04:20.920 --> 00:04:24.800 we won the war in Iraq, do you. Iran surely 73 00:04:24.839 --> 00:04:27.680 has more capability than the Taliban, a bunch of goat herders, 74 00:04:27.680 --> 00:04:30.519 who we also lost a war to. Everything comes down 75 00:04:30.519 --> 00:04:34.279 to this, will Iran change behavior or double down on 76 00:04:34.319 --> 00:04:37.680 their prior misdeeds. Even though the United States is less 77 00:04:37.720 --> 00:04:39.959 reliant on oil out of the Persian Gulf than at 78 00:04:40.000 --> 00:04:43.319 any other time in our lives, oil markets are laser 79 00:04:43.319 --> 00:04:45.519 focused on the streets of Hormuz, through which twenty five 80 00:04:45.560 --> 00:04:48.839 percent of the world's oil flows, most of it to 81 00:04:49.040 --> 00:04:51.319 Asia and Europe. So the bottom line is, if oil 82 00:04:51.319 --> 00:04:53.879 doesn't start moving through those straits, China is going to 83 00:04:53.920 --> 00:04:57.519 be very upset, and that could shape more than just markets. 84 00:04:57.600 --> 00:05:00.920 It could be the last lever of control over Iran's 85 00:05:00.959 --> 00:05:04.000 current decision makers. In Iran itself, we have seen people 86 00:05:04.000 --> 00:05:18.319 celebrating in the streets. Oh wait, that wasn't Iran. That 87 00:05:18.439 --> 00:05:22.240 was Iraq in two thousand and three. This is Iran 88 00:05:22.319 --> 00:05:36.439 this weekend. Oh no, my bad, that that was actually 89 00:05:36.600 --> 00:05:56.639 Los Angeles. This is Iran. For just a moment, you 90 00:05:56.680 --> 00:05:59.680 probably thought that was Minneapolis. See, there's always a U 91 00:05:59.800 --> 00:06:03.759 four at the beginning of regime change, wars, patriotism, unity, 92 00:06:04.079 --> 00:06:07.439 belief that behind every dictator there is a Jeffersonian democracy 93 00:06:07.600 --> 00:06:10.560 just yearning to spring forward. I don't know what's going 94 00:06:10.560 --> 00:06:13.639 to happen in Iran, but I don't see signs that 95 00:06:13.759 --> 00:06:16.319 the regime is going to just surrender. And I don't 96 00:06:16.319 --> 00:06:19.519 believe President Trump or any sensible Americans want to see 97 00:06:19.560 --> 00:06:24.079 American blood spilled during some Iranian game of thrones, so 98 00:06:24.120 --> 00:06:27.600 that could potentially last years. What does seem clear to 99 00:06:27.720 --> 00:06:30.959 us is that Trump's posture is this, we killed the Ayahtola, 100 00:06:31.439 --> 00:06:33.160 now it's up to you Iran. 101 00:06:33.480 --> 00:06:37.279 I call upon all Iranian patriots who yearn for freedom 102 00:06:38.040 --> 00:06:42.240 to seize this moment to be brave, be bold, be heroic, 103 00:06:42.920 --> 00:06:46.560 and take back your country. America is with you. I 104 00:06:46.639 --> 00:06:49.759 made a promise to you, and I've fulfilled that promise. 105 00:06:50.639 --> 00:06:53.199 The rest will be up to you, but we'll be 106 00:06:53.319 --> 00:06:53.959 there to help. 107 00:06:54.959 --> 00:06:57.639 The rest will be up to you. That sounds like 108 00:06:57.959 --> 00:07:00.600 my wife and I dividing him the chores sometimes. The 109 00:07:00.639 --> 00:07:03.480 government of Iran made a decision in the hours following 110 00:07:03.519 --> 00:07:07.120 the USA attack that has many flu mixed. They started 111 00:07:07.120 --> 00:07:12.399 attacking their Arab neighbors, the UAE, Kuwait, Qatar, Saudi Bahrain, 112 00:07:13.079 --> 00:07:16.560 basically every Gulf state that isn't Oman Oman is actually 113 00:07:16.600 --> 00:07:18.759 trying to get the parties back to the negotiating table. 114 00:07:18.800 --> 00:07:21.480 They say they're still room for peace. Most people think 115 00:07:21.519 --> 00:07:24.839 it was pretty dumb of Iran for their isolating themselves 116 00:07:24.920 --> 00:07:27.240 in the Middle East to begin a war by hitting 117 00:07:27.319 --> 00:07:30.240 other Muslim countries in their neighborhood. We also note the 118 00:07:30.279 --> 00:07:33.360 high quality of the response of those neighbors. The UAE 119 00:07:33.439 --> 00:07:36.000 air defense is dealt with one hundred and sixty five 120 00:07:36.040 --> 00:07:39.120 ballistic missiles, two cruise missiles, and five hundred and forty 121 00:07:39.160 --> 00:07:43.560 one drones. Kuwait reports intercepting ninety seven ballistic missiles, two 122 00:07:43.639 --> 00:07:46.199 hundred and eighty three drones, and of course the three 123 00:07:46.279 --> 00:07:50.800 aforementioned US aircraft accidentally. Bahrain says it shot down forty 124 00:07:50.800 --> 00:07:54.319 five missiles and nine drones. Katar says it intercepted about 125 00:07:54.360 --> 00:07:58.279 eighteen ballistic missiles plus cruise missiles and other drones. Now 126 00:07:58.279 --> 00:08:00.800 we continue to follow reaction out of the Middle East. 127 00:08:00.800 --> 00:08:04.079 A Saudi political analyst publicly said the United States was 128 00:08:04.160 --> 00:08:09.160 prioritizing protecting Israel's air defenses over Gulf States amid the 129 00:08:09.199 --> 00:08:12.519 ongoing conflict with Irani. Claimed the US defenses were focused 130 00:08:12.519 --> 00:08:17.279 on Israel, leaving Golf states hosting US military assets more 131 00:08:17.279 --> 00:08:19.839 exposed to these Iranian drone attacks. 132 00:08:21.120 --> 00:08:24.399 American defense is focused on Israel without concern for the 133 00:08:24.399 --> 00:08:27.600 defense of the Arab Golf States, which hosts many military bases. 134 00:08:28.439 --> 00:08:31.000 There's kind of a resentment from the Gulf towards its 135 00:08:31.040 --> 00:08:35.159 American partner, who focuses on Israel's security and stability without 136 00:08:35.159 --> 00:08:37.399 concern for the defense needs of the Arab Gold States 137 00:08:37.799 --> 00:08:40.919 that are being subjected to Iranian strikes without American effort. 138 00:08:41.679 --> 00:08:45.679 In Pakistan, there have been violent protests at US diplomatic sites, 139 00:08:46.000 --> 00:08:49.759 especially at the US consulate in Karachi, thousands of demonstrators, 140 00:08:50.000 --> 00:08:53.120 angered by the killing of Auran Supreme leaders, stormed the consulate, 141 00:08:53.200 --> 00:08:57.200 breached outer walls, smashed the windows, and clashed with security forces, 142 00:08:57.559 --> 00:09:17.639 resulting in multiple injuries and deaths. I wouldn't be improving 143 00:09:17.799 --> 00:09:22.120 visas from there anytime soon. Also breaking tonight, Texas is 144 00:09:22.240 --> 00:09:26.080 mourning a mass shooting in downtown Austin at Buford's backyard 145 00:09:26.080 --> 00:09:28.919 beer garden, left three people dead, including the suspect, and 146 00:09:29.279 --> 00:09:33.120 fourteen injured. Police identified the gunman as fifty three year 147 00:09:33.159 --> 00:09:37.240 old Dunga Dengey, who was killed by officers at the scene. 148 00:09:37.240 --> 00:09:40.799 He wore clothing with Iranian linked symbols. The FBI is 149 00:09:40.840 --> 00:09:45.080 investigating possible connections to terrorism. We now go to the 150 00:09:45.120 --> 00:09:48.960 congressman who represents part of the greater Austin area joining 151 00:09:49.000 --> 00:09:52.080 US now Republican Texas Congressman and Texas Attorney General candidate 152 00:09:52.159 --> 00:09:54.799 Chip Roy Chip, we have a shooting, a war, and 153 00:09:54.840 --> 00:09:57.720 an election. Let's start with the shooting in Austin. It's 154 00:09:57.720 --> 00:10:00.600 a community you know well, I know speak with law 155 00:10:00.679 --> 00:10:04.159 enforcement throughout Texas regularly. What do you think the questions 156 00:10:04.200 --> 00:10:06.559 are right now that law enforcement's working to answer? 157 00:10:06.600 --> 00:10:09.360 Tonight well, I. 158 00:10:09.320 --> 00:10:11.159 Can tell you I just got the news the public. 159 00:10:11.159 --> 00:10:13.000 I've been on the phone with my friends at the 160 00:10:13.039 --> 00:10:16.240 University of Texas who are directly impacted by this. Jim Davis, 161 00:10:16.279 --> 00:10:18.399 the president of UT, is a friend of mine. We 162 00:10:18.519 --> 00:10:21.200 work together in the Office of Attorney General good Man. 163 00:10:21.519 --> 00:10:24.440 He's been working with the families and everybody, and they 164 00:10:24.480 --> 00:10:26.879 just publicly announced the names of two of the victims 165 00:10:26.919 --> 00:10:29.639 who passed away. There's a third that I think we're 166 00:10:29.639 --> 00:10:32.240 going to lose the day off of life support. This 167 00:10:32.399 --> 00:10:34.600 was all a direct consequence of having somebody in this 168 00:10:34.600 --> 00:10:37.240 country who shouldn't be here. And I know, you know, 169 00:10:37.679 --> 00:10:40.200 I want the people that I represent I'm around. I 170 00:10:40.200 --> 00:10:41.879 want them to be able to heal. I want them 171 00:10:41.879 --> 00:10:43.759 to be able to go pray, pray, I want them 172 00:10:43.759 --> 00:10:47.159 to be able to come together as a community. But 173 00:10:47.200 --> 00:10:48.759 I also have a duty as a leader of this 174 00:10:48.799 --> 00:10:51.600 country to say enough is enough, and that this broken 175 00:10:51.600 --> 00:10:56.120 immigration system is a total disaster. And we've got an 176 00:10:56.120 --> 00:10:59.320 individual here who came to this country in two thousand 177 00:11:00.120 --> 00:11:03.840 State is Visa then applied for legal permanent residency on 178 00:11:03.879 --> 00:11:06.879 the back of a marriage, a marriage that apparently no 179 00:11:06.960 --> 00:11:09.679 longer was in existence because once He got his citizenship 180 00:11:09.759 --> 00:11:12.879 under Obama in twenty twelve. He then tried to use 181 00:11:12.919 --> 00:11:15.879 that citizenship for two different women to get them in 182 00:11:16.279 --> 00:11:19.519 as citizens. He's from Senegal. He had a Quran in 183 00:11:19.559 --> 00:11:21.440 the back of his car. He had the shirt you're 184 00:11:21.480 --> 00:11:23.519 putting on the screen now that says property of a law. 185 00:11:23.879 --> 00:11:27.120 He had an Iranian flag shirt under the sweatshirt. He 186 00:11:27.200 --> 00:11:32.639 had social media posts that were clearly directed towards people 187 00:11:32.679 --> 00:11:37.080 who are allegedly anti Iran and you know, anti Muslim 188 00:11:37.480 --> 00:11:41.000 And this is preventable, right, And people say preventable violence 189 00:11:41.039 --> 00:11:43.360 they want to go after our guns are constitutionally protected, right, 190 00:11:43.679 --> 00:11:47.720 But we keep importing third world violent Islamists who want 191 00:11:47.759 --> 00:11:48.879 to destroy our country. 192 00:11:49.240 --> 00:11:49.519 Enough. 193 00:11:50.440 --> 00:11:52.840 We are currently at war with Iran. There's a war 194 00:11:52.919 --> 00:11:55.600 powers resolution coming up in the House. What is the 195 00:11:55.600 --> 00:11:59.720 administration communicated to Congress about what victory looks like in Iran? 196 00:12:03.080 --> 00:12:05.159 Well, first of all, you know, obviously they've done a 197 00:12:05.159 --> 00:12:09.159 briefing for the Big AID or whatever, and then today 198 00:12:09.200 --> 00:12:10.720 they did something else on the hill. And I'm not 199 00:12:10.759 --> 00:12:12.679 there yet, but tomorrow I'm flying back. Even though it's 200 00:12:12.679 --> 00:12:14.679 primary day in Texas, I'm going to be flying back 201 00:12:14.720 --> 00:12:17.279 to Texas. I mean flying back to DC to get 202 00:12:17.279 --> 00:12:20.519 a briefing, and then Christy Nome comes to Judiciary on Wednesday, 203 00:12:20.840 --> 00:12:23.360 so I'll be there. I can assure you what we're 204 00:12:23.399 --> 00:12:26.600 hearing is, you know her Marco Rubio today say that 205 00:12:26.600 --> 00:12:29.200 they expected Israel was going to make it a hit 206 00:12:29.759 --> 00:12:32.039 and that we needed to be ready for the fallout 207 00:12:32.039 --> 00:12:34.039 from that, and that it was better for us to 208 00:12:34.120 --> 00:12:37.000 align with them early and to go after and take 209 00:12:37.039 --> 00:12:39.879 out a lot of the resources of Iran. They were 210 00:12:39.879 --> 00:12:43.039 continuing to develop despite us taking out some of their 211 00:12:43.080 --> 00:12:44.320 nuclear capability with the. 212 00:12:44.240 --> 00:12:45.200 Bombing last year. 213 00:12:45.639 --> 00:12:47.960 And look, I actually have a fairly broad view, and 214 00:12:48.000 --> 00:12:50.360 you and I've talked about this before when you were 215 00:12:50.360 --> 00:12:52.720 in the House. I've got a broader view than some 216 00:12:52.799 --> 00:12:56.240 of our more kind of constitutional strict constructionist types and 217 00:12:56.440 --> 00:12:59.320 people that are more explicit or a libertarian. My view 218 00:12:59.320 --> 00:13:01.960 is pretty broad on the commander in chiefs authority, and 219 00:13:02.000 --> 00:13:04.679 I think here the president's acting fully within the scope 220 00:13:04.720 --> 00:13:07.799 of his authority. I think he's doing the right thing 221 00:13:07.840 --> 00:13:09.960 to push back on Iran and take out a lot 222 00:13:09.960 --> 00:13:14.240 of their facilities and to stand alongside Israel. But there's 223 00:13:14.279 --> 00:13:16.840 obviously a limit. The limit is when you start putting 224 00:13:16.840 --> 00:13:19.039 our troops on the ground for any significant length of 225 00:13:19.080 --> 00:13:22.480 time when any length of time starts to extend fairly long, 226 00:13:22.720 --> 00:13:26.360 and our ultimate power on this is really the power 227 00:13:26.399 --> 00:13:28.840 of the Purse, more than the War Powers Act, which 228 00:13:28.879 --> 00:13:32.039 as you know, both Republican and Democrat presidents for fifty 229 00:13:32.120 --> 00:13:34.960 years have questioned the validity of. So look, I think 230 00:13:34.960 --> 00:13:36.720 we need to be very resolute. I think we need 231 00:13:36.759 --> 00:13:39.399 to have oversight. I believe that no matter who's in 232 00:13:39.399 --> 00:13:41.240 the White House, we need to know that this is 233 00:13:41.279 --> 00:13:43.440 not going to be an endless war. But I trust 234 00:13:43.480 --> 00:13:46.919 the President and I trust his team to do exactly 235 00:13:46.919 --> 00:13:50.039 what they're doing, from JD to Marco and everybody involved 236 00:13:50.039 --> 00:13:53.840 in the Secretary headset to push back on Iran peace 237 00:13:53.879 --> 00:13:56.799 through strength, knock out their facilities, but do not get 238 00:13:56.840 --> 00:13:59.639 us embroiled in an endless conflict with boots on the 239 00:13:59.639 --> 00:14:02.720 ground like we experienced from two thousand and three until 240 00:14:02.759 --> 00:14:05.960 even still today, with you know, in terms of all 241 00:14:06.000 --> 00:14:09.320 the lingering repercussions of the War on Terror. 242 00:14:09.159 --> 00:14:12.600 What you described as a paradigm where when Israel tells 243 00:14:12.679 --> 00:14:17.799 us they're going to attack somewhere, we work to neutralize 244 00:14:17.960 --> 00:14:21.080 the retaliation. If that's the new state of play. Do 245 00:14:21.120 --> 00:14:24.799 you expect that we'll be joining Israel in bombing campaigns 246 00:14:24.799 --> 00:14:25.759 in Lebanon as well? 247 00:14:28.440 --> 00:14:28.679 Well? 248 00:14:28.759 --> 00:14:30.519 This is one of the questions that has emerged that 249 00:14:30.519 --> 00:14:33.279 we need to go and have the conversations with the 250 00:14:33.440 --> 00:14:36.759 current leadership team to know what the next steps are. 251 00:14:37.480 --> 00:14:40.879 I think on this case, you're dealing with Iran, which 252 00:14:41.120 --> 00:14:43.200 was the sort of mothership, right the head of the 253 00:14:43.200 --> 00:14:47.000 snake Hesba lah Hamas, all of that was being coordinated 254 00:14:47.000 --> 00:14:50.159 and funded heavily by Iran. I have no problem going 255 00:14:50.159 --> 00:14:51.639 and trying to cut the head of the snake off, 256 00:14:51.840 --> 00:14:53.720 so long as we stay away from nation building, so 257 00:14:53.759 --> 00:14:55.840 long as we stay away from soccer fields like we're 258 00:14:55.840 --> 00:14:58.399 building in Baghdad, So long as we're not combing through 259 00:14:58.399 --> 00:15:01.240 the mountains of freaking Afghanist and trying to figure out 260 00:15:01.240 --> 00:15:03.080 how to help certain people vote or whatever while our 261 00:15:03.080 --> 00:15:06.159 guys are getting shot. I have no problems taking out 262 00:15:06.200 --> 00:15:10.879 bad guys artillery. We'll see what the next step is on. 263 00:15:10.879 --> 00:15:15.399 This Tomorrow's the attorney general election. How do us holding 264 00:15:15.440 --> 00:15:18.840 an election in the echo of this possible terrorist attack 265 00:15:18.879 --> 00:15:22.279 in Texas shape how people will think about selecting an 266 00:15:22.279 --> 00:15:23.039 attorney general? 267 00:15:26.080 --> 00:15:28.639 Well, today I'm visited with I don't know, maybe one 268 00:15:28.679 --> 00:15:31.039 hundred or so large number of my core supporters down 269 00:15:31.039 --> 00:15:33.519 in San Antonio and that have been with me as 270 00:15:33.519 --> 00:15:35.840 a member of Congress, that are supporting me for Attorney General. 271 00:15:36.159 --> 00:15:38.320 And look, what's on their mind is what's on you know, 272 00:15:38.480 --> 00:15:40.559 I think the average Americans mind is making sure that 273 00:15:40.600 --> 00:15:43.720 we're not engaged in endless war, making sure that Muslims 274 00:15:43.720 --> 00:15:46.720 and Islamists are not taking over Texas in this country, 275 00:15:47.039 --> 00:15:49.960 making sure that our border stays secure, making sure that 276 00:15:49.960 --> 00:15:54.600 we're actually delivering on our promises. For example, let's deliver 277 00:15:54.679 --> 00:15:57.559 on the Save America Act, Let's deliver on congressional stock 278 00:15:57.600 --> 00:15:59.960 trade bands, et cetera. They want to see us an act. 279 00:16:00.559 --> 00:16:03.080 I had a pretty big dust up with some of 280 00:16:03.120 --> 00:16:05.919 our Republican colleagues over the weekend in one of these 281 00:16:06.600 --> 00:16:09.679 calls where we're being told what's going to happen this week, 282 00:16:10.000 --> 00:16:12.320 and I made the point, Look, it's not enough to 283 00:16:12.320 --> 00:16:14.960 play prevent defense and say we all have to sing 284 00:16:15.039 --> 00:16:17.600 Kumbaya to win the election this November. 285 00:16:17.799 --> 00:16:20.159 But we need to be on offense. We need to fight. 286 00:16:20.480 --> 00:16:22.480 The Senate needs to be told to get in line, 287 00:16:22.720 --> 00:16:24.480 punch them in the nose and say you can actually 288 00:16:24.559 --> 00:16:27.240 move this bill in the Senate. Stop hiding behind the filibuster, 289 00:16:27.480 --> 00:16:30.840 stop hiding behind sixty votes, stand up, actually do your 290 00:16:30.960 --> 00:16:33.600 job and lead. And you know, look, I'm going to 291 00:16:33.639 --> 00:16:36.399 defend the big, beautiful bill to defend our unified position 292 00:16:36.440 --> 00:16:39.000 as Republicans, but we need to be on offense. And 293 00:16:39.039 --> 00:16:41.159 as Attorney General, I can assure you I'm going to 294 00:16:41.240 --> 00:16:44.360 take every step necessary in Texas to secure our border, 295 00:16:44.559 --> 00:16:47.120 to go after the NGOs, they're advancing the Islamis movement 296 00:16:47.159 --> 00:16:49.519 in Texas to make sure that we're defending our state 297 00:16:49.720 --> 00:16:52.360 no matter who's in the White House. So I expect 298 00:16:52.440 --> 00:16:54.879 us to have a good day tomorrow and to deliver 299 00:16:55.000 --> 00:16:56.720 a good result with the people of Texas. I hope 300 00:16:56.720 --> 00:16:58.799 to win it out right over fifty, but if not, 301 00:16:58.960 --> 00:17:00.759 we'll have a good runoff. Look when I ran for 302 00:17:00.799 --> 00:17:03.279 Congress the first time, I ran again to eighteen people, 303 00:17:03.440 --> 00:17:05.200 and then I want to run off, so we'll win 304 00:17:05.240 --> 00:17:05.839 one way the other. 305 00:17:05.880 --> 00:17:08.880 I just hope it's tomorrow, Texas Congressman ship Roy out 306 00:17:08.880 --> 00:17:11.039 on the campaign trail. Stay safe out there, my friend. 307 00:17:11.079 --> 00:17:14.799 Best of luck, Thanks Matt, God bless. 308 00:17:14.480 --> 00:17:17.480 Coming up, we'll speak with Colonel Douglas McGregor regarding Iran, 309 00:17:17.640 --> 00:17:20.640 and we'll continue to follow the terrorist attack in Texas, 310 00:17:20.680 --> 00:17:21.440 don't go anywhere. 311 00:17:26.319 --> 00:17:28.839 Viewers are always asking me how can they watch away 312 00:17:28.920 --> 00:17:33.279 in live.

In September of last year, 345 00:19:45.039 --> 00:19:47.720 we invited Colonel Douglas McGregor on our program. He's a 346 00:19:47.720 --> 00:19:51.680 foreign policy expert and his informally advised President Trump on occasion, 347 00:19:51.720 --> 00:19:55.200 and he explained that the war between Iran and Israel 348 00:19:55.759 --> 00:19:58.680 had not ended, and in fact was only paused and 349 00:19:58.720 --> 00:20:01.480 would resume to listen to this and realize this is 350 00:20:01.519 --> 00:20:03.319 on September thirtieth of last year. 351 00:20:03.759 --> 00:20:07.000 We all know that a war between Israel and Iran 352 00:20:07.119 --> 00:20:09.519 is not over. That war is going to resume. It 353 00:20:09.559 --> 00:20:13.480 could resume any time now whenever. Ultimately the Israelis decided 354 00:20:13.519 --> 00:20:15.279 to resume it. So I think if we look at 355 00:20:15.319 --> 00:20:18.759 Egypt and look at Iran, those two, it's very obvious 356 00:20:18.799 --> 00:20:20.880 that something very bad is going to happen in the 357 00:20:20.880 --> 00:20:21.519 near future. 358 00:20:22.160 --> 00:20:25.440 Joining us now retired US Army colonel and former Secretary 359 00:20:25.440 --> 00:20:29.039 of Defense advisor Douglas McGregor, Colonel McGregor, you came on 360 00:20:29.079 --> 00:20:32.440 this program on September thirtieth of last year. You said 361 00:20:32.599 --> 00:20:35.359 Israel would attack Iran again and we would be back 362 00:20:35.400 --> 00:20:38.200 at war. Do you believe what the mainstream media has 363 00:20:38.240 --> 00:20:41.319 been reporting that this war began over the weekend due 364 00:20:41.319 --> 00:20:42.559 to a target of opportunity. 365 00:20:43.759 --> 00:20:45.000 No, not at all. 366 00:20:45.440 --> 00:20:47.920 In fact, I think the evidence is pretty substantial that 367 00:20:47.960 --> 00:20:51.119 the decision to wage this war was. 368 00:20:51.079 --> 00:20:53.960 Taken some time ago. I think that's one of the reasons. 369 00:20:53.519 --> 00:20:57.519 That after the first of the year, mister Dadiniah who 370 00:20:57.599 --> 00:21:01.640 came and visited with President Trump and Marlag and now 371 00:21:01.680 --> 00:21:07.680 we've had Secretary of State Rubio essentially tell a group 372 00:21:07.720 --> 00:21:12.720 of eight in the Senate that the Israelis actually launched 373 00:21:12.759 --> 00:21:16.160 their attack and we were not yet ready to do so, 374 00:21:16.240 --> 00:21:19.079 but decided we would join in in any case, since 375 00:21:19.079 --> 00:21:20.359 we had already planned. 376 00:21:20.119 --> 00:21:20.440 To do that. 377 00:21:20.519 --> 00:21:24.240 As it is, so, this has been on the agenda 378 00:21:24.279 --> 00:21:24.960 for a long time. 379 00:21:25.039 --> 00:21:30.119 Bet Do you see the regime right now as fragile 380 00:21:30.279 --> 00:21:32.039 at this point or resilient? 381 00:21:33.000 --> 00:21:35.759 Well, I think they're pretty resilient. Frankly, you know, lots 382 00:21:35.799 --> 00:21:39.319 of regimes look weak and they aren't. We thought the 383 00:21:39.400 --> 00:21:43.200 Russian regime was very, very weak when it wasn't, and 384 00:21:43.240 --> 00:21:45.920 I think we made that mistake again with Iron. 385 00:21:47.720 --> 00:21:50.640 Do you think that the country risks any sort of 386 00:21:50.680 --> 00:21:53.720 internal conflict or civil war like we saw in Iraq? 387 00:21:53.839 --> 00:21:57.319 Or do you expect this regime to reconstitute and to 388 00:21:58.279 --> 00:21:59.960 exact their control over the country. 389 00:22:01.240 --> 00:22:04.160 I think the current government of Iran will stand as 390 00:22:04.240 --> 00:22:06.720 long as there is a war now. I do think 391 00:22:06.759 --> 00:22:10.599 that probably by the summer, after the war is over, 392 00:22:10.720 --> 00:22:13.119 and I hope it's over by then, we'll see a 393 00:22:13.200 --> 00:22:17.400 new government emerge, one that is much more amenable to 394 00:22:17.440 --> 00:22:21.559 the population of Iran. But the Iranians are extremely nationalistic, 395 00:22:21.799 --> 00:22:24.000 and this is not a time when they are likely 396 00:22:24.039 --> 00:22:27.759 to sign on for the division fragmentation of their country 397 00:22:27.839 --> 00:22:29.799 or the destruction of their country. They are going to 398 00:22:29.839 --> 00:22:32.559 stand by the government whether they like it or not. 399 00:22:33.680 --> 00:22:37.680 Again, that being the theocratic government that exists now. I 400 00:22:37.680 --> 00:22:39.279 spoke to one of my sources in the Middle East 401 00:22:39.279 --> 00:22:43.200
