1
00:00:00,480 --> 00:00:22,039
Speaker 1: Past two, one, two, three, four, five, and welcome to

2
00:00:22,160 --> 00:00:26,559
the Big Podcast. Happy Friday to you. Today is the

3
00:00:26,600 --> 00:00:30,440
twentieth day of June, Year of Our Lord, twenty twenty five.

4
00:00:30,960 --> 00:00:33,840
My name is Tom Sullivan. So we got a lot

5
00:00:33,880 --> 00:00:38,920
to cover today. General Keane, I've always liked to trap

6
00:00:39,039 --> 00:00:41,840
whatever he's saying during the day because he's a very

7
00:00:41,880 --> 00:00:45,920
smart guy. He runs the Institute for the Study of War.

8
00:00:46,079 --> 00:00:49,200
He's not only a retired four star general, but he

9
00:00:49,280 --> 00:00:56,000
really understands the deeper parts of this and so he well,

10
00:00:56,039 --> 00:00:59,159
we have a big piece from him today. And also

11
00:00:59,799 --> 00:01:04,040
there was a big court victory for President Trump. The

12
00:01:04,159 --> 00:01:07,359
Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals, the one that is the

13
00:01:07,400 --> 00:01:10,519
most overturned. They cover the western part of the United

14
00:01:10,519 --> 00:01:16,719
States West Coast mainly, and they ruled that Sorry, Governor Newsom,

15
00:01:17,200 --> 00:01:19,959
you keep running around telling everybody that the President is

16
00:01:20,000 --> 00:01:23,120
acting illegally. We backed the president. The court ruled in

17
00:01:23,159 --> 00:01:28,599
favor of President Trump having control of the California National Guard.

18
00:01:28,680 --> 00:01:30,959
So we'll get into all of that as well. There's

19
00:01:31,000 --> 00:01:36,439
a Fox News pull out today. And what else have

20
00:01:36,519 --> 00:01:37,359
we got here for you?

21
00:01:37,879 --> 00:01:38,079
Speaker 2: Oh?

22
00:01:38,439 --> 00:01:43,120
Speaker 1: Just breaking as we sat down to record this is

23
00:01:43,200 --> 00:01:49,159
that Mahmoud Khalil, the guy that was a Columbia student,

24
00:01:49,879 --> 00:01:53,159
has been in detention since back in March. The court

25
00:01:53,359 --> 00:01:57,359
in New Jersey Federal Court in New Jersey ruled today

26
00:01:58,040 --> 00:02:00,359
that he is not a flight risk and he's not

27
00:02:00,400 --> 00:02:03,079
a danger to the public, so that they must release

28
00:02:03,200 --> 00:02:07,159
him from detention. We'll see, obviously, I'm sure that's going

29
00:02:07,200 --> 00:02:12,400
to be appealed. But the fight is one for Donald

30
00:02:12,439 --> 00:02:16,039
Trump on the California National Guard and one for Khalil.

31
00:02:16,719 --> 00:02:20,479
Mahmoud Khalil. On being released, he still asked to be

32
00:02:20,759 --> 00:02:23,879
go to court about the charges that were against him.

33
00:02:25,199 --> 00:02:29,919
Let's start with General Jack King. He may sound a

34
00:02:29,919 --> 00:02:32,639
little laid back to you today because he was kind

35
00:02:32,680 --> 00:02:34,639
of laid back. He was sitting on a sofa. He

36
00:02:34,759 --> 00:02:39,560
was on the Outnumbered show on Fox, and he was

37
00:02:39,599 --> 00:02:42,479
talking to the ladies about all the things going on

38
00:02:42,560 --> 00:02:45,479
in Iron, and I thought that it would be helpful

39
00:02:45,960 --> 00:02:48,120
to listen to what the general has to say. So

40
00:02:48,240 --> 00:02:49,840
here is General Jack King.

41
00:02:50,840 --> 00:02:51,039
Speaker 3: Yeah.

42
00:02:51,080 --> 00:02:54,680
Speaker 4: Well, first of all, look at Iron's behavior. In a

43
00:02:54,800 --> 00:02:58,840
language they've used for forty five years, the theme is

44
00:02:59,560 --> 00:03:01,759
dominated we can't control the Middle East and the flow

45
00:03:01,759 --> 00:03:05,879
of boil out of the Persian Gulf, drive the United

46
00:03:05,879 --> 00:03:08,400
States military out of the region, so we lose our

47
00:03:08,439 --> 00:03:12,879
influence in the region and destroy the State of Israel. Now,

48
00:03:12,919 --> 00:03:14,719
when they used to say that, you know, in the

49
00:03:14,719 --> 00:03:17,719
early days of the regime back in the eighties, people

50
00:03:17,759 --> 00:03:19,960
would roll their eyes and say, well, they're not really

51
00:03:20,000 --> 00:03:23,560
serious about that. They are dead serious about it. And

52
00:03:24,159 --> 00:03:28,520
acquiring a nuclear weapon gives them two things. And the

53
00:03:28,560 --> 00:03:30,840
first thing is the destruction of the State of Israel,

54
00:03:31,000 --> 00:03:35,280
and the State of Israel has has to take that

55
00:03:35,520 --> 00:03:39,039
existential threat seriously based on the language and a rhetoric

56
00:03:39,080 --> 00:03:41,919
that they've exercised for all these years and their determination

57
00:03:42,039 --> 00:03:45,240
to have a weapon. And secondly, it leads to a

58
00:03:45,280 --> 00:03:48,560
nuclear arms race if they get a weapon in the region.

59
00:03:48,639 --> 00:03:51,800
Henry Kissinger, who after a number of years on the

60
00:03:51,840 --> 00:03:54,400
Defense Policy Board with him some twelve years, we actually

61
00:03:54,400 --> 00:03:57,639
developed the friendship, which I was honored to have. He

62
00:03:57,680 --> 00:03:59,759
told me, he said, Jack, you know, the most serious

63
00:04:00,039 --> 00:04:03,520
challenge in my lifetime that we're facing is not the

64
00:04:03,560 --> 00:04:07,280
calimity of World War two. It's Iran having a nuclear

65
00:04:07,280 --> 00:04:12,879
weapon and the Arabs acquiring a weapon. Obviously to prevent

66
00:04:12,919 --> 00:04:16,120
them using it, and it would likely given the volatility

67
00:04:16,160 --> 00:04:19,160
of that area lead to the first nuclear exchange in

68
00:04:19,199 --> 00:04:23,319
the world. So it is in US national interests that

69
00:04:23,399 --> 00:04:26,240
are on not to have a nuclear weapons. Certainly our

70
00:04:26,319 --> 00:04:29,680
ally is threatened by it, but the world is threatened

71
00:04:29,839 --> 00:04:32,319
by them having a nuclear weapon because of who they are.

72
00:04:32,759 --> 00:04:36,360
This is a diabolical, threatening regime. The fact that they're

73
00:04:36,439 --> 00:04:39,839
mullers and clerics is a fraud. These are thugs and

74
00:04:39,920 --> 00:04:43,920
killers who are running this regime for forty five years. Well,

75
00:04:44,079 --> 00:04:46,759
Ran hasn't made a decision to have a nuclear weapon,

76
00:04:47,000 --> 00:04:51,519
Are you kidding me? The only industry they spend more

77
00:04:51,560 --> 00:04:54,519
money on is oil. This is an enterprise. Is that

78
00:04:54,680 --> 00:04:57,639
at twelve sites, some of the buildings have there's twenty

79
00:04:57,639 --> 00:05:01,079
five to thirty buildings on some of these nuclears. Their

80
00:05:01,120 --> 00:05:05,439
academic universities are all tied to it in terms of

81
00:05:05,519 --> 00:05:09,480
research that's done with it. This is a major, major enterprise.

82
00:05:09,600 --> 00:05:13,000
And now they're within two weeks of being able to weaponize,

83
00:05:13,680 --> 00:05:16,680
and because they haven't made the decision to do that,

84
00:05:16,839 --> 00:05:19,399
we're absolutely in the same condition that we're in the

85
00:05:19,439 --> 00:05:22,480
North Korea. They made a decision, let's say today, two

86
00:05:22,519 --> 00:05:25,720
weeks later, now they have nine weapons. Now they're in

87
00:05:25,839 --> 00:05:29,079
nuclear power. Isn't that what happened to us? And to

88
00:05:29,160 --> 00:05:33,079
suggest that, well, maybe we shouldn't do anything because they

89
00:05:33,120 --> 00:05:36,800
haven't officially made the decision a weapon. They for twenty

90
00:05:36,839 --> 00:05:41,480
five years, they've taken every step that's humanly possible, not

91
00:05:41,560 --> 00:05:45,079
only to develop a nuclear weapon, but also they put

92
00:05:45,199 --> 00:05:49,079
into this major enterprise. And this is what some people

93
00:05:49,120 --> 00:05:52,959
don't get is the Iatola has built an enterprise that's

94
00:05:53,000 --> 00:05:56,879
redundant and resilient because he knows at some point it

95
00:05:56,920 --> 00:06:01,079
would be attacked and he wants to absorb that attack,

96
00:06:01,680 --> 00:06:08,079
survive it, recover and rebuild. And he is never going

97
00:06:08,120 --> 00:06:13,040
to voluntarily dismantle his program with verification because it's gone.

98
00:06:13,800 --> 00:06:16,920
He believes some of it will be left and I

99
00:06:16,959 --> 00:06:20,519
can recover and rebuild. That's really where we are. That's

100
00:06:20,560 --> 00:06:24,000
why no progress in negotiations have been made, and that's

101
00:06:24,079 --> 00:06:26,839
why the only way to deal with this is you

102
00:06:27,000 --> 00:06:30,680
have to forcibly dismantle the program. Yeah, certainly, Well, he's

103
00:06:30,680 --> 00:06:34,800
had four or five meetings, and these are very detailed

104
00:06:34,839 --> 00:06:39,319
meetings in terms of what should what is our policy overall?

105
00:06:40,160 --> 00:06:43,360
And I think when you strategically look at it, I

106
00:06:43,399 --> 00:06:47,079
would assume someone like Secretary of Rubio is saying, given

107
00:06:47,199 --> 00:06:50,439
what the Israelis have done to the Iranians, and how

108
00:06:50,560 --> 00:06:52,920
back on their heels they really are. You know, they

109
00:06:52,959 --> 00:06:57,480
took down seventy of their air defense batteries, there's none left.

110
00:06:58,040 --> 00:07:01,639
They've hit forty five military sites. They've hit every single

111
00:07:01,800 --> 00:07:05,399
one of the nuclear sites, all twelve plus of them,

112
00:07:05,600 --> 00:07:09,079
either damaged or destroyed them. There is no air force.

113
00:07:09,279 --> 00:07:14,120
It is completely destroyed. They decapitated their military and scientific leaders.

114
00:07:14,160 --> 00:07:17,439
As you know, and listen to this, Where are the

115
00:07:17,480 --> 00:07:21,600
proxies who have missiles and rockets? Not a single one

116
00:07:21,639 --> 00:07:24,680
of them is coming to their defense. I asked an

117
00:07:24,759 --> 00:07:27,920
Israeli general, what's going on with hesbeler? Do they still

118
00:07:27,959 --> 00:07:30,800
have missiles? He said, yes, General, they do. They have

119
00:07:31,279 --> 00:07:33,839
They have thousands of missiles. And why aren't they coming?

120
00:07:34,319 --> 00:07:40,399
Why aren't they defend They the Iranians organized hesbela primary

121
00:07:40,399 --> 00:07:44,000
mission to defend Iran. They pump billions and billions of

122
00:07:44,040 --> 00:07:46,319
dollars one hundred and fifty thousand rockets and missiles. Why

123
00:07:46,360 --> 00:07:49,439
haven't they fired any of those in defense of Iran?

124
00:07:49,800 --> 00:07:50,199
Speaker 5: He said?

125
00:07:50,199 --> 00:07:53,959
Speaker 4: They have lost their will and they believe that Iran

126
00:07:54,120 --> 00:07:57,519
is about to be finished. Where is Russia and China

127
00:07:57,680 --> 00:08:01,519
and North Korea their strategic partners that then they have

128
00:08:01,639 --> 00:08:06,399
been cooperating, coordinating and collaborating with each other for four

129
00:08:06,480 --> 00:08:10,279
years during the Biden administration. Where is the assistance coming

130
00:08:10,319 --> 00:08:13,319
to Iran given the situation they're in. They have plenty

131
00:08:13,360 --> 00:08:16,079
of ballistic missiles, they have plenty of rockets, they have

132
00:08:16,160 --> 00:08:18,759
all sorts of things that can come to Iran's a

133
00:08:19,600 --> 00:08:23,920
not going near. It is isolated and most vulnerable it's

134
00:08:23,920 --> 00:08:26,839
been in forty five years. So I think Rubio would

135
00:08:26,879 --> 00:08:31,480
likely say this is a strategic opportunity for us to remove,

136
00:08:32,000 --> 00:08:35,440
not to remove, but to end Iran's domination of the

137
00:08:35,519 --> 00:08:39,720
region in their adverse behavior that has been going on

138
00:08:39,799 --> 00:08:42,919
for all of these years. We can come close right

139
00:08:42,960 --> 00:08:46,279
now to ending that, and maybe in the long run

140
00:08:46,600 --> 00:08:51,320
the Iranians themselves internally will make a change themselves in

141
00:08:51,399 --> 00:08:52,320
terms of that direction.

142
00:08:53,000 --> 00:08:56,600
Speaker 1: So that's general Team's kind of broader step back, take

143
00:08:56,600 --> 00:08:58,320
a look at the big picture sort of thing, and

144
00:08:58,360 --> 00:09:01,720
he thinks, as you can tell, that this is about

145
00:09:01,879 --> 00:09:05,720
ready to at least come to an end for Iran.

146
00:09:06,519 --> 00:09:10,080
Mike Pompeo also very bright guy. He was the head

147
00:09:10,080 --> 00:09:12,440
of his class at West Point, he was a congress

148
00:09:12,480 --> 00:09:17,440
money Harvard law he was Secretary of State. He also

149
00:09:17,519 --> 00:09:21,000
seems to have a pretty good handle on what's going

150
00:09:21,039 --> 00:09:22,200
on in the Middle East.

151
00:09:23,360 --> 00:09:27,039
Speaker 5: It doesn't square, it doesn't remotely square. Indeed, as the

152
00:09:27,039 --> 00:09:29,240
first I've heard of that statement, I don't see that

153
00:09:29,279 --> 00:09:32,000
statement as being remotely different from what they've been saying

154
00:09:32,039 --> 00:09:34,879
four weeks. They've always said they'll have limits. Indeed, they've

155
00:09:34,919 --> 00:09:38,159
had limits, and they've violated. They've cheated on those very

156
00:09:38,159 --> 00:09:40,720
limits for years and years and years. So for the

157
00:09:40,759 --> 00:09:42,960
Auranians to say now we still want to have some

158
00:09:43,159 --> 00:09:46,080
limited amount of enrichment means they're still had to down

159
00:09:46,120 --> 00:09:48,960
this same path. And I think President Trump will clearly

160
00:09:48,960 --> 00:09:51,879
see that You're right. He has said zero enrichment. He's

161
00:09:51,919 --> 00:09:55,159
also talked about unconditional surrender. It doesn't sound like the

162
00:09:55,200 --> 00:09:58,879
Iranians are anywhere near that. And I'm confident that the

163
00:09:58,919 --> 00:10:01,919
negotiations that can Tina will be done. As Secretary State

164
00:10:01,960 --> 00:10:05,120
Schultz called it, in the shadow of power, because absent

165
00:10:05,159 --> 00:10:07,200
that without what President Trump has done to set up

166
00:10:07,200 --> 00:10:10,200
these conditions where the Iranians know that they could lose

167
00:10:10,240 --> 00:10:14,240
it all, without that risk, without that power being prevalent

168
00:10:14,360 --> 00:10:19,600
and visible. Negotiations are just another euphemism for surrender and capitulation.

169
00:10:21,559 --> 00:10:24,879
Speaker 6: For twenty five years, American presidents have been pledging that

170
00:10:24,919 --> 00:10:28,360
Iran cannot get a nuclear weapon, but only one Donald

171
00:10:28,399 --> 00:10:31,639
Trump actually has done something about it and has said

172
00:10:31,960 --> 00:10:34,840
that we're going to bring this chapter to a close soon.

173
00:10:35,360 --> 00:10:38,240
So as you put it four to oh, they're deeply

174
00:10:38,320 --> 00:10:42,159
buried underground. Nuclear bunker has to be closed one way

175
00:10:42,279 --> 00:10:44,039
or the other. It can be closed the easy way,

176
00:10:44,039 --> 00:10:45,679
it has to be immediate way.

177
00:10:45,759 --> 00:10:45,960
Speaker 1: Yeah.

178
00:10:46,000 --> 00:10:48,279
Speaker 5: I think Senator Cotton captured perfectly. It was great to

179
00:10:48,279 --> 00:10:50,240
hear his voice. He and I have been working on

180
00:10:50,240 --> 00:10:52,120
this for a long time together. He and I are

181
00:10:52,159 --> 00:10:55,080
the ones that discovered that John Kerry Barack Obama's secret

182
00:10:55,080 --> 00:10:59,320
side deals now gosh, almost a decade ago, which reminds

183
00:10:59,360 --> 00:11:01,200
us all that it is time to put this dress,

184
00:11:01,320 --> 00:11:03,720
to get all of the enrichment out of Iran, to

185
00:11:03,720 --> 00:11:06,120
to finally put Israel a place where it can be secure,

186
00:11:06,159 --> 00:11:08,799
and most importantly for the American people, to make sure

187
00:11:08,840 --> 00:11:10,360
that we are safe and we don't have to live

188
00:11:10,440 --> 00:11:13,039
under the threat of a nuclear armed Iranian regime that

189
00:11:13,080 --> 00:11:16,120
has for years talked about death to our nation and

190
00:11:16,159 --> 00:11:20,679
done everything it can to facilitate that. Both Vladimir Putin

191
00:11:20,720 --> 00:11:23,080
and Shushinping, the leader of those two countries, have made

192
00:11:23,080 --> 00:11:26,000
pledges to the Iranian regime. They've said, we're lifelong friends,

193
00:11:26,000 --> 00:11:29,000
we have deep security relationships, and of course, to date,

194
00:11:29,039 --> 00:11:32,440
while Iran's regime is threatened, they've done almost nothing to

195
00:11:32,559 --> 00:11:36,799
support them. Not surprising, they picked a loser and now

196
00:11:36,879 --> 00:11:40,120
can see that. I've seen this reports that they're moving

197
00:11:40,320 --> 00:11:42,960
cargo of some sort into Iran. I don't know if

198
00:11:43,000 --> 00:11:45,480
that's true or exactly what it might be, but if

199
00:11:45,519 --> 00:11:47,759
the Chinese or the Russians were serious, they would have

200
00:11:48,080 --> 00:11:49,799
they would have put their troops there, they would have

201
00:11:49,840 --> 00:11:52,000
done what they could with their defense systems, they would

202
00:11:52,039 --> 00:11:54,240
have created trouble somewhere else in the world. And instead

203
00:11:54,279 --> 00:11:58,960
they've abandoned their erstwhile ally their regime in Iran. They

204
00:11:59,000 --> 00:12:01,799
are clearly lu users from what Israel has done so far,

205
00:12:01,879 --> 00:12:04,840
and completing this task will accomplish two things. One, it'll

206
00:12:04,840 --> 00:12:08,080
take down their nuclear weapons efforts, ballistic missiles, all of

207
00:12:08,120 --> 00:12:11,080
the development work that goes alongside of that. And second,

208
00:12:11,120 --> 00:12:14,919
it will demonstrate to Shishiping who's thinking about Taiwan and

209
00:12:14,960 --> 00:12:17,399
to Vladimir Putin, who has already invaded Europe, they will

210
00:12:17,440 --> 00:12:20,600
recognize the President Trump is someone that is not to

211
00:12:20,639 --> 00:12:22,879
be traveled with and is prepared to do the hard

212
00:12:22,879 --> 00:12:25,519
work to deter them from further aggression.

213
00:12:27,440 --> 00:12:29,679
Speaker 1: Yeah, so Mike Pompeo had the same exact comments that

214
00:12:29,759 --> 00:12:34,440
General Keene had, which is, where are the allies that

215
00:12:34,600 --> 00:12:36,799
swore that they would be there through thick and thin

216
00:12:37,440 --> 00:12:40,720
for Iran. They had all kinds of agreements, they shook hands,

217
00:12:40,720 --> 00:12:44,399
they had photo ops, and now when push comes to shove,

218
00:12:44,840 --> 00:12:49,279
nobody is showing up to help Iran. And the report

219
00:12:49,360 --> 00:12:54,159
that Pompeo did not know about, but it was apparently

220
00:12:54,240 --> 00:12:56,919
reported by a couple of news agencies that are in

221
00:12:57,279 --> 00:13:00,759
tay Ran. They've seen a couple of seven forty seven's

222
00:13:00,840 --> 00:13:05,039
come in from China and they're not bringing in weapons

223
00:13:05,159 --> 00:13:08,519
or not bringing in troops. If anything, the only guesses

224
00:13:08,600 --> 00:13:15,960
they're evacuating Chinese citizens from Tehran. So that's also another

225
00:13:16,120 --> 00:13:18,639
bad sign for the people that are running the country

226
00:13:18,679 --> 00:13:22,120
of Iran. Another guy who has a good handle on

227
00:13:22,240 --> 00:13:25,919
all of this is the former station chief for the

228
00:13:25,960 --> 00:13:31,039
CIA in Moscow, Dan Hoffmann. This is his comment.

229
00:13:32,840 --> 00:13:35,120
Speaker 7: So I think for the US intelligence community, the key

230
00:13:35,159 --> 00:13:40,159
thing reflections from Iranian intelligence and the Supreme Leader and

231
00:13:40,200 --> 00:13:44,519
the clerics to determine whether Iran really believes that President

232
00:13:44,600 --> 00:13:47,879
Trump would indeed launch one of those bunker busting bombs

233
00:13:47,919 --> 00:13:51,200
or a succession of them at the Ford oh site.

234
00:13:51,360 --> 00:13:54,039
If Iran really believes that, and they believe that the

235
00:13:54,120 --> 00:13:59,039
United States would support Israel militarily in action in Iran,

236
00:13:59,519 --> 00:14:02,720
that might induce Iran to come to the negotiating table.

237
00:14:03,159 --> 00:14:06,519
It's worth remembering that while we were holding negotiations over

238
00:14:06,519 --> 00:14:11,120
a sixty day period with Iran, they were defiantly stalling

239
00:14:11,279 --> 00:14:15,360
and refusing really to engage in any sort of diplomatic negotiations.

240
00:14:15,360 --> 00:14:18,000
And so I think that's what the intelligence community can

241
00:14:18,039 --> 00:14:22,039
do to support the President as he considers his policy options. Yeah,

242
00:14:22,080 --> 00:14:24,960
I think it's important to remember what our strategic goals are,

243
00:14:25,039 --> 00:14:28,279
what are our objectives, and remember that President Trump withdrew

244
00:14:28,360 --> 00:14:31,559
from the JCPOA because of those nuclear the sunset clauses

245
00:14:31,600 --> 00:14:35,440
on Iran's nuclear program, and because the JCPOA addressed neither

246
00:14:35,480 --> 00:14:40,320
Iran's ballistic missile capability nor its support for proxy terrorists

247
00:14:40,320 --> 00:14:40,840
in the region.

248
00:14:40,879 --> 00:14:41,399
Speaker 5: And beyond.

249
00:14:41,919 --> 00:14:46,600
Speaker 7: Israel is decimated Iran's terrorist network, and they're also decimating

250
00:14:46,639 --> 00:14:50,399
Iran's ballistic missiles. If we can get to those three

251
00:14:50,559 --> 00:14:54,720
elements of what concerns us about Iran's projection of power,

252
00:14:55,360 --> 00:14:59,039
including the nuclear program, then no one is talking about

253
00:14:59,080 --> 00:15:04,600
regime change necessarily, and imposing regime change from the outside

254
00:15:04,639 --> 00:15:06,799
in a bombing campaign. I just don't think that has

255
00:15:06,840 --> 00:15:11,399
a whole lot of potential for good. It's possible that

256
00:15:11,440 --> 00:15:15,639
we might see something organic develop inside Iran, but we've

257
00:15:15,679 --> 00:15:18,399
got to consider the fact that if indeed there were

258
00:15:18,480 --> 00:15:22,919
regime change, what would follow might be even worse. What

259
00:15:23,000 --> 00:15:26,080
we saw when the Soviet Union collapsed was that the

260
00:15:26,159 --> 00:15:29,519
KGB operative in the Kremlin, Vladimir Putin eventually took charge,

261
00:15:29,559 --> 00:15:32,840
and that wasn't necessarily a good thing for us. In Iran,

262
00:15:32,960 --> 00:15:36,919
the military intelligence, the IRGC, they're the strong and they're

263
00:15:37,000 --> 00:15:40,639
most likely to survive in the event of a regime change.

264
00:15:41,000 --> 00:15:45,360
We can consider this war one if Iran's ballistic missile

265
00:15:45,360 --> 00:15:48,559
capability is destroyed and we enter into some sort of

266
00:15:48,559 --> 00:15:52,240
a settlement whereby Iran can no longer be a nuclear

267
00:15:52,279 --> 00:15:55,639
threshold state and they no longer in rich uranium that

268
00:15:55,720 --> 00:15:59,399
I think would be considered a victory. Israel may decide

269
00:15:59,399 --> 00:16:01,440
on their own, and I'm sure they've got plans on

270
00:16:01,480 --> 00:16:06,799
the shelf to I'll covertly infiltrate four to Doh and

271
00:16:06,879 --> 00:16:12,240
perhaps seek to destroy the four nuclear facility. It's very

272
00:16:12,279 --> 00:16:15,360
difficult because it's very deep underground. And if you're wondering

273
00:16:15,360 --> 00:16:17,600
whether Iran is a real threat to the world with

274
00:16:17,720 --> 00:16:20,679
a nuclear program, well that's evidence right there.

275
00:16:21,200 --> 00:16:22,120
Speaker 5: This is not Iraq.

276
00:16:22,879 --> 00:16:26,320
Speaker 7: This is absolutely clear where Iran has a nuclear program

277
00:16:26,320 --> 00:16:28,720
that is a threat and needs to be dealt with now,

278
00:16:28,759 --> 00:16:31,240
one way or another. I think the intelligence community needs

279
00:16:31,279 --> 00:16:34,039
to rely on facts and not ideology. So whatever they

280
00:16:34,080 --> 00:16:37,840
believe should be backed up by human intelligence and signals intelligence.

281
00:16:38,120 --> 00:16:40,960
It's not anybody's opinion that matters. It's just based on

282
00:16:41,080 --> 00:16:44,360
the facts. The president will make policy. The CIA recruits

283
00:16:44,360 --> 00:16:50,279
spies and steals secrets, NSA steals signals intelligence and collects

284
00:16:51,159 --> 00:16:54,559
what foreign military and leaders are saying, and all of

285
00:16:54,600 --> 00:16:58,720
that informs the president. And frankly, what matters for Director

286
00:16:58,799 --> 00:17:01,440
Raklif is to get his anim his smart Middle East

287
00:17:01,480 --> 00:17:04,480
analysts out front to the White House briefing the president,

288
00:17:04,559 --> 00:17:07,160
answering the president's questions so that the president can be

289
00:17:07,200 --> 00:17:09,839
able to make the most informed decisions possible.

290
00:17:12,000 --> 00:17:14,400
Speaker 1: So we're not talking just to a bunch of Republicans.

291
00:17:14,440 --> 00:17:20,359
There was a Democrat, Bran Schneider from Illinois, congressman, and

292
00:17:20,400 --> 00:17:22,839
he was recently on a fact finding trip over to

293
00:17:22,880 --> 00:17:26,119
the Middle East, and as a Democrat, listened to his

294
00:17:26,279 --> 00:17:27,640
comments as well.

295
00:17:28,440 --> 00:17:29,640
Speaker 5: Yeah, I think what we heard.

296
00:17:30,039 --> 00:17:34,720
Speaker 8: So we visited Saudi Arabia, Buffrain, United Arab Emirates. We

297
00:17:34,720 --> 00:17:36,680
weren't able to get in Israel, not because of security

298
00:17:36,680 --> 00:17:39,720
we had arranged to go to Jordan and driving to Israel,

299
00:17:40,359 --> 00:17:46,720
but because of house rules just prohibited that. But broader

300
00:17:46,759 --> 00:17:49,119
picture of what we heard in every country is that

301
00:17:49,319 --> 00:17:53,079
they know a nuclear armed Iran as an existential threat

302
00:17:53,079 --> 00:17:55,440
to every country in the Gulf, every country in the region,

303
00:17:55,480 --> 00:17:57,839
including Israel, and a threat to the United States. So

304
00:17:57,920 --> 00:17:59,720
they want to do everything possible to make sure i

305
00:17:59,799 --> 00:18:02,480
Ran cannot get a nuclear weapon. At the same time,

306
00:18:03,119 --> 00:18:05,799
the longer this war goes on, the greater the chance

307
00:18:05,839 --> 00:18:08,240
of it expanding and bringing in these other countries, and

308
00:18:08,319 --> 00:18:10,200
so they want to move to the escalation as quickly

309
00:18:10,200 --> 00:18:14,519
as possible. That was the message we heard everywhere we went. Well,

310
00:18:14,720 --> 00:18:18,160
you know, I was first selected in twenty twelve, was

311
00:18:18,160 --> 00:18:18,599
a threat.

312
00:18:18,640 --> 00:18:18,799
Speaker 3: Then.

313
00:18:18,839 --> 00:18:20,960
Speaker 8: I've spent more than thirty years working to make sure

314
00:18:21,079 --> 00:18:23,400
Ran never gets a nuclear weapon. We have to do

315
00:18:23,440 --> 00:18:26,720
everything necessary to ensure Iran never has a nuclear weapon.

316
00:18:27,279 --> 00:18:32,240
That includes prohibiting them from enriching uranium to ninety percent.

317
00:18:32,319 --> 00:18:35,279
Actually they shouldn't be enriching uranium at all, and includes

318
00:18:35,319 --> 00:18:39,000
making sure that they don't have the capacity to convert

319
00:18:39,039 --> 00:18:42,599
that enriched uranium into a nuclear weapon. That's the concern.

320
00:18:42,680 --> 00:18:45,559
That's where Israel has assessed that they were ready to

321
00:18:45,599 --> 00:18:48,880
move I've not seen the classified information yet. I just

322
00:18:48,920 --> 00:18:51,599
got back in the country. But the United States is

323
00:18:51,680 --> 00:18:54,680
united with Israel. I think united with our allies that

324
00:18:54,759 --> 00:18:57,240
the rank and never have a nuclear weapon, and at

325
00:18:57,240 --> 00:18:59,640
this point we have to do whatever's necessary to make

326
00:18:59,680 --> 00:19:03,359
sure they can't move forward. Is those taking great steps

327
00:19:03,640 --> 00:19:08,279
in dismantling arounds nuclear program. It's one thing to slow

328
00:19:08,279 --> 00:19:11,160
it down, it's another thing to block it. We need

329
00:19:11,200 --> 00:19:13,799
to permanently close every passive man has to nuclear weapon.

330
00:19:14,440 --> 00:19:19,599
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's a Democrat, Congressman Brad Schneider out of Illinois.

331
00:19:21,400 --> 00:19:25,680
So there's a the IAEA you'll hear a lot about

332
00:19:25,720 --> 00:19:29,640
International Atomic Energy Agency. They are the ones that for

333
00:19:29,799 --> 00:19:33,000
decades have run around the world and do inspections to

334
00:19:33,079 --> 00:19:38,079
make sure that countries with nuclear bombs and nuclear power

335
00:19:38,119 --> 00:19:42,079
that they stay within the rules. Everybody and their brother

336
00:19:42,200 --> 00:19:46,400
now is saying there is no reason for Iran to

337
00:19:46,519 --> 00:19:54,440
be doing anything about enriching uranium. And that's where Tulsea

338
00:19:54,480 --> 00:19:57,200
Gabbert is kind of sounding a little bit goofy because

339
00:19:57,240 --> 00:20:01,759
of the fact that she says, oh, yes, they're in uranium, large, large,

340
00:20:01,839 --> 00:20:05,279
large amounts of uranium, much more than anybody else, but

341
00:20:05,720 --> 00:20:07,799
we don't have any proof that they're building a bomb.

342
00:20:08,359 --> 00:20:10,960
And well, what do you think they're doing with the

343
00:20:11,079 --> 00:20:13,480
enriched uranium? What do you think they're going to do?

344
00:20:14,200 --> 00:20:17,640
So listen to this guy. His name is David Albright.

345
00:20:17,680 --> 00:20:22,319
He is one of the nuclear inspectors from the IAEA,

346
00:20:22,960 --> 00:20:26,680
and he talks about it will take a few months

347
00:20:27,200 --> 00:20:30,440
to build an actual weapon that can be on the

348
00:20:30,480 --> 00:20:34,640
nose of a of a rocket, but it will only

349
00:20:34,680 --> 00:20:37,480
take days for them to take that enrichment and make

350
00:20:37,519 --> 00:20:42,039
it into weapon grade uranium. Here's the inspector, David Albright.

351
00:20:43,000 --> 00:20:47,160
Speaker 9: Well, the program that's most worsome is there enrichment program,

352
00:20:47,279 --> 00:20:49,960
and it's kind of symbolized by their rush in the

353
00:20:50,039 --> 00:20:52,759
last six months to make as much sixty percent enriched

354
00:20:52,839 --> 00:20:56,799
uranium as possible, which is just a hair brusts away

355
00:20:56,839 --> 00:20:59,880
from having weapon grade uranium, so they could convert it

356
00:21:00,039 --> 00:21:03,839
and just start having significant quantities of weapon grade uranium

357
00:21:03,880 --> 00:21:09,400
in days and so. But the workhourse of that enrichment

358
00:21:09,480 --> 00:21:12,880
program is in the tons underground in Richmond site, which

359
00:21:12,920 --> 00:21:16,319
apparently has been pretty badly damaged. It's hard to do

360
00:21:16,319 --> 00:21:20,440
a damage assessment because no one's Israel obviously can't get

361
00:21:20,480 --> 00:21:24,799
in and there's no inspectors. Ford Ou is was was

362
00:21:25,160 --> 00:21:28,680
actually a part of the old nuclear weapons program of

363
00:21:28,680 --> 00:21:30,880
the early two thousands. That's where it was started. It

364
00:21:30,960 --> 00:21:35,400
was called the Algader project, and after Iron kind of

365
00:21:35,440 --> 00:21:39,119
shut down it's it's crashed nuclear weapons program and segued

366
00:21:39,160 --> 00:21:44,039
into more of a more covert kind of preparatory program.

367
00:21:44,359 --> 00:21:48,440
The ford Ou construction continued and it was exposed in

368
00:21:48,559 --> 00:21:51,200
two thousand and nine. So it's always it's always in

369
00:21:51,240 --> 00:21:53,480
Iran's mind, it's always been part of a nuclear weapons

370
00:21:53,480 --> 00:21:57,079
effort and more than a civil program, and so it's

371
00:21:57,200 --> 00:22:02,119
it's fortified, it's deeply buried, it's small, it has just

372
00:22:02,279 --> 00:22:05,880
maybe one fifth to one sixth of the centrifuges at

373
00:22:05,880 --> 00:22:09,839
the underground site in the tongs Had and so it

374
00:22:11,039 --> 00:22:14,000
but it is because of its nature. It is a

375
00:22:14,079 --> 00:22:17,000
natural place for Iran to try to make weapon grade uranium,

376
00:22:17,039 --> 00:22:21,039
and so it's high on the target list of Israel. Well,

377
00:22:21,079 --> 00:22:23,640
it's never been the job to make that assessment. And

378
00:22:23,680 --> 00:22:26,599
in fact, there was a quote that was attributed to

379
00:22:27,880 --> 00:22:31,519
Secretary our Director General Grossie. It was wildly taken, wildly

380
00:22:31,559 --> 00:22:33,799
out of context. The IE is not in the business

381
00:22:34,160 --> 00:22:38,720
of telling us if about secret nuclear weapons programs that

382
00:22:39,759 --> 00:22:42,519
are in a sense hidden from the IA. They can

383
00:22:42,559 --> 00:22:45,559
only do what they can, and they've done a lot.

384
00:22:45,599 --> 00:22:49,519
They've don't covered Iran having on declared nuclear material that

385
00:22:49,599 --> 00:22:53,119
it should have declared, it has on declared activities that

386
00:22:53,119 --> 00:22:55,359
should have been and so it was able to prove

387
00:22:55,519 --> 00:23:00,000
very clearly that Iran violated its obligations under the Nonpliferation

388
00:23:00,200 --> 00:23:03,279
Treaty and that's what played out in Vienna a couple

389
00:23:03,319 --> 00:23:06,480
of weeks ago. And so, but they're not in the business,

390
00:23:07,160 --> 00:23:10,200
like an intelligence agency to assess how close is around

391
00:23:10,200 --> 00:23:13,559
to a bomb what's the status of that program. They

392
00:23:13,559 --> 00:23:15,799
could only do it if the country cooperates. They did

393
00:23:15,839 --> 00:23:18,759
it in South Africa, for example, because the country cooperated.

394
00:23:19,240 --> 00:23:22,880
So here, if you ask the question how close there's

395
00:23:22,960 --> 00:23:26,319
the pre attack and there's post attack pre attack, we

396
00:23:26,400 --> 00:23:29,240
at my institute would have assessed that they would have

397
00:23:29,279 --> 00:23:32,200
needed about six months or a little bit less to

398
00:23:32,240 --> 00:23:34,160
be able to build what we would call a non

399
00:23:34,240 --> 00:23:38,400
missile deliverable nuclear weapon, and the time would have to

400
00:23:38,440 --> 00:23:41,519
be spent on making the nuclear weapon itself. They can

401
00:23:41,559 --> 00:23:46,319
make the weapon grade uranium extremely quickly. Now it's post attack,

402
00:23:46,519 --> 00:23:51,440
things have changed. Behind the Israel has been really going

403
00:23:51,519 --> 00:23:56,160
after the sites and people and activities associated with making

404
00:23:56,200 --> 00:24:00,759
the nuclear weapon itself. And so our assessmentary because we

405
00:24:00,799 --> 00:24:05,480
don't we're still collecting, is that Israel's extended the time

406
00:24:05,519 --> 00:24:08,240
Iran needs to build a nuclear weapon by several months,

407
00:24:08,640 --> 00:24:11,799
again independent of the weapon grade uranium. So I think

408
00:24:12,440 --> 00:24:16,519
Israel is setting back their program and it's and and

409
00:24:16,680 --> 00:24:20,480
I would argue they need more time now.

410
00:24:20,599 --> 00:24:26,559
Speaker 1: In other words, Iran has been the facilities have been damaged,

411
00:24:26,880 --> 00:24:29,759
so it has set back their ability to actually get

412
00:24:29,799 --> 00:24:33,680
a missile with a warhead that is a nuclear weapon.

413
00:24:34,359 --> 00:24:37,279
But at the same time, if if Iran, if Israel

414
00:24:37,319 --> 00:24:41,039
had not damaged all of their locations, they probably would

415
00:24:41,079 --> 00:24:43,799
be ready pretty quickly. But the other thing about this,

416
00:24:44,000 --> 00:24:46,480
the city said it would take days to get weapons

417
00:24:46,519 --> 00:24:52,400
grade uranium, which they could deliver through another way than

418
00:24:52,559 --> 00:24:56,400
a missile. Don't forget the dirty bomb, don't forget some

419
00:24:56,519 --> 00:24:59,480
of the other ways that they could deliver some sort

420
00:24:59,480 --> 00:25:02,039
of nuclear weapon that would not be on the tip

421
00:25:02,119 --> 00:25:06,839
of a missile. Now I've played for you. Brad Schneider

422
00:25:06,920 --> 00:25:13,559
from the Democrat from Illinois, he says, absolutely, we have

423
00:25:13,720 --> 00:25:18,319
to stop Iran in their tracks. They cannot be allowed

424
00:25:18,319 --> 00:25:22,920
to have a nuclear weapon. But Senator Chris Coons, a

425
00:25:23,039 --> 00:25:27,720
Democrat from Delaware, he says, next week in the Senate,

426
00:25:28,400 --> 00:25:31,039
they are going to have a vote about whether or

427
00:25:31,160 --> 00:25:37,079
not to give permission to the president under war powers,

428
00:25:37,160 --> 00:25:41,559
and the war powers, as he has stated, belong to

429
00:25:41,640 --> 00:25:44,960
the Congress. Here's Chris Coons. We're going to have one

430
00:25:45,039 --> 00:25:45,559
next week.

431
00:25:45,880 --> 00:25:49,200
Speaker 10: And I voted for a similar but not identical war

432
00:25:49,279 --> 00:25:53,039
powers resolution when Senator came brought it before the Senate

433
00:25:53,559 --> 00:25:55,839
a number of years ago. So we will have that

434
00:25:55,920 --> 00:25:58,079
vote this coming week, and that will make it clear

435
00:25:58,640 --> 00:26:02,079
that President Trump should not go ahead with a risky

436
00:26:02,559 --> 00:26:07,039
and danger potentially dangerous strike on Iran without the approval

437
00:26:07,079 --> 00:26:10,400
of Congress. As I've been saying all along, there is

438
00:26:10,480 --> 00:26:14,799
time now for diplomacy and for consultation with Congress, and

439
00:26:14,839 --> 00:26:18,400
for our central role to be respected by President Trump.

440
00:26:19,000 --> 00:26:20,880
And I think we need to be a part of

441
00:26:20,880 --> 00:26:22,119
this debate and conversation.

442
00:26:22,480 --> 00:26:24,480
Speaker 1: I think we've all heard over the years that Congress

443
00:26:24,480 --> 00:26:29,319
does have the power to basically declare war, not the President,

444
00:26:29,440 --> 00:26:36,680
it's the Congress. But they've also given authorized authorized what

445
00:26:36,720 --> 00:26:42,079
do they call it, a whims authorized military George Bush

446
00:26:42,079 --> 00:26:45,680
got it for Iraq. And we'll see what they come

447
00:26:45,759 --> 00:26:48,720
up with here. But they are looking like they are

448
00:26:48,759 --> 00:26:51,559
going to take the position, at least the Democrats in

449
00:26:51,599 --> 00:26:54,480
the Senate, of stopping trying to stop the President from

450
00:26:54,559 --> 00:27:00,480
taking any action regarding Iran and any action helping Israel.

451
00:27:03,000 --> 00:27:05,279
So let's look at some of the polling that's out

452
00:27:05,359 --> 00:27:08,759
to Fox News poll It just came out yesterday, and

453
00:27:09,160 --> 00:27:12,240
they ask a number of questions. One is, do you

454
00:27:12,319 --> 00:27:16,559
think Iran poses a real national security threat to the

455
00:27:16,680 --> 00:27:20,880
United States? Seventy three percent said yes, twenty four percent

456
00:27:20,960 --> 00:27:24,440
said no. Do you approve or disapprove of israel decision

457
00:27:24,519 --> 00:27:30,039
to launch military strikes against Iran's nuclear facilities? Pretty close? Actually,

458
00:27:30,119 --> 00:27:36,519
forty nine percent approve, forty six percent disapprove. Next question,

459
00:27:36,559 --> 00:27:40,519
do you think Israel israel strikes against Iran's nuclear program

460
00:27:40,599 --> 00:27:43,200
will make the world a safer place or a more

461
00:27:43,319 --> 00:27:48,039
dangerous place? Only thirty six percent believe it will make

462
00:27:48,079 --> 00:27:52,200
it the world a safer place. Fifty nine percent say

463
00:27:52,400 --> 00:27:54,599
it will make it a more dangerous place. I got

464
00:27:54,599 --> 00:27:56,960
to tell you, I'm just the opposite on that. I

465
00:27:57,000 --> 00:28:01,039
think Iran has been the center of danger in the

466
00:28:01,079 --> 00:28:04,000
Western world for a long long time, and they keep

467
00:28:04,039 --> 00:28:07,920
working and building as they threaten and threatened, threaten the US,

468
00:28:07,960 --> 00:28:12,519
threatened Israel threaten a lot of people, but they're the

469
00:28:12,599 --> 00:28:17,839
leader there, I think is an absolute nutjob, and he

470
00:28:18,079 --> 00:28:22,440
is so ideologically driven that if he could get his

471
00:28:22,480 --> 00:28:24,799
hands on a nuclear weapon, I think he would use him.

472
00:28:25,559 --> 00:28:30,000
He wants to exterminate everybody in Israel. So I think

473
00:28:30,000 --> 00:28:35,039
getting rid of Iran's leadership and their nuclear weapons systems

474
00:28:35,799 --> 00:28:38,440
will make the world a safer place. Now, will somebody

475
00:28:38,519 --> 00:28:42,279
else come along with nukes? That is also a rogue leader.

476
00:28:42,480 --> 00:28:45,559
Probably you might even want to define some of them

477
00:28:45,559 --> 00:28:50,160
that have nukes right now in that category. So it's interesting.

478
00:28:50,200 --> 00:28:53,880
But I'm just on the opposite of that. Future of

479
00:28:53,920 --> 00:28:59,920
the country and inflation top concerns for voters. It's always sad,

480
00:29:00,680 --> 00:29:05,839
always about the economy and inflation. It comes in. Eighty

481
00:29:05,920 --> 00:29:09,519
five percent of the people are extremely concerned about the

482
00:29:09,559 --> 00:29:14,359
future of the country, and eighty four percent are very concerned,

483
00:29:14,480 --> 00:29:19,920
extremely concerned about inflation and higher prices. Eighty percent are

484
00:29:20,279 --> 00:29:26,359
very concerned about government spending. Seventy eight percent are concerned

485
00:29:26,440 --> 00:29:32,000
about Iran getting a nuclear bomb, sixty nine percent concerned

486
00:29:32,039 --> 00:29:37,079
about anti Semitism, sixty seven percent concerned about illegal immigration,

487
00:29:37,920 --> 00:29:42,759
sixty six percent domestic use of US military troops and

488
00:29:42,880 --> 00:29:49,039
response to protests, and sixty three percent still significant majority

489
00:29:49,559 --> 00:29:53,000
are extremely concerned about the protest in the United States,

490
00:29:53,160 --> 00:29:58,440
which brings us to Harry Enton, and he looked at

491
00:29:58,559 --> 00:30:03,599
specifically Lost Angelus and the way it was handled by

492
00:30:03,680 --> 00:30:06,440
the president. Here's Harrie Enton. Where are we well?

493
00:30:06,519 --> 00:30:09,200
Speaker 2: I think we can say that Donald Trump has lost

494
00:30:09,240 --> 00:30:12,279
the political battle when it comes to what has happened

495
00:30:12,319 --> 00:30:14,960
out in Los Angeles. Donald Trump's net approval rating on

496
00:30:14,960 --> 00:30:16,000
the Los Angeles process.

497
00:30:16,039 --> 00:30:16,440
Speaker 1: Look at this.

498
00:30:16,559 --> 00:30:20,559
Speaker 2: Overall way way way underwater, minus fifteen points. How about

499
00:30:20,599 --> 00:30:24,160
among independents are those who don't identify with either major party?

500
00:30:24,519 --> 00:30:25,359
Speaker 1: Way even lower?

501
00:30:25,440 --> 00:30:28,519
Speaker 2: Look at that minus twenty four points on the net

502
00:30:28,599 --> 00:30:31,279
approval rating. And of course, this is happening on what

503
00:30:31,400 --> 00:30:34,119
should be one of Donald Trump's, in fact, the best

504
00:30:34,160 --> 00:30:37,160
issue for Donald Trump, immigration, And yet when it comes

505
00:30:37,279 --> 00:30:41,039
to these Los Angeles protests, fifteen points underwater overall and

506
00:30:41,160 --> 00:30:44,279
twenty four points underwater among independents.

507
00:30:44,640 --> 00:30:45,480
Speaker 3: No good.

508
00:30:45,880 --> 00:30:47,960
Speaker 2: So you know, you see these numbers with concern to

509
00:30:48,000 --> 00:30:50,200
the Los Angeles protests. But let's wind it out a

510
00:30:50,240 --> 00:30:52,119
little bit, and I think this sort of paints a

511
00:30:52,160 --> 00:30:55,200
picture for you and understanding why Donald Trump's net approval

512
00:30:55,240 --> 00:30:57,920
rating on the Los Angeles protests are as low as

513
00:30:57,960 --> 00:31:00,440
they are. Take a look Trump and immigrant arrests. He's

514
00:31:00,480 --> 00:31:03,599
gone too far, that's the winner here forty nine percent.

515
00:31:03,960 --> 00:31:06,279
Not too far, only forty percent. So you got a

516
00:31:06,359 --> 00:31:09,400
nine point lead here. And again among those independents or

517
00:31:09,440 --> 00:31:12,039
other category, you see fifty one percent of them say

518
00:31:12,039 --> 00:31:14,559
Trump's gone too far. And what's so important to note

519
00:31:14,759 --> 00:31:17,880
is that this poll was taken after after the Los

520
00:31:17,920 --> 00:31:21,000
Angeles protests started, So this takes into account everything that's

521
00:31:21,039 --> 00:31:23,680
gone on in Los Angeles at this particular point. If

522
00:31:23,680 --> 00:31:27,039
the protesters idea was to focus the attention on Donald

523
00:31:27,079 --> 00:31:29,799
Trump and bring attention to his immigration policies and bring

524
00:31:30,000 --> 00:31:33,039
attention to the arrests that have been occurring of immigrants,

525
00:31:33,319 --> 00:31:36,039
it seems to me that those protests have been successful

526
00:31:36,039 --> 00:31:38,200
because you see here forty nine percent say Trump's gone

527
00:31:38,200 --> 00:31:40,200
too far when it comes to the immigrant agress, compared

528
00:31:40,200 --> 00:31:42,680
to just forty percent who say he's not gone too far.

529
00:31:42,880 --> 00:31:44,799
You don't have to be a mathematical genius. No, forty

530
00:31:44,839 --> 00:31:47,759
nine percent is larger than forty percent. So let's take

531
00:31:47,759 --> 00:31:51,279
a look here, right, more ice raids at workplaces, these

532
00:31:51,319 --> 00:31:55,519
workplaces where immigrants perhaps are here illegally are working. Look,

533
00:31:55,599 --> 00:31:58,359
forty five percent approved. But again, what's the winner here?

534
00:31:58,440 --> 00:32:02,200
Fifty four percent. Fifty four percent disapproved of the idea

535
00:32:02,240 --> 00:32:04,640
of more ice arrests. And this again goes to what

536
00:32:04,680 --> 00:32:07,440
these protests were all about in the first place, these

537
00:32:07,480 --> 00:32:09,880
ice arrests at work. And it does seem again that

538
00:32:09,920 --> 00:32:12,559
the American people are with the protesters on this. You

539
00:32:12,599 --> 00:32:14,920
see here the majority saying that they disapprove of more

540
00:32:14,920 --> 00:32:17,359
ice rates at workplaces. And I think it's so important

541
00:32:17,359 --> 00:32:20,559
isis historically actually been rated fairly favorably, but their fable

542
00:32:20,599 --> 00:32:23,119
ratings have been going down as these raids have been

543
00:32:23,119 --> 00:32:25,319
going on. More issue and he's losing on his core

544
00:32:25,359 --> 00:32:29,359
issue at this point. Again, he is losing in these protests, So.

545
00:32:29,400 --> 00:32:32,880
Speaker 1: He may be losing when it comes to the poll

546
00:32:32,960 --> 00:32:35,799
that Harry Inton does, and he's a very good pollster,

547
00:32:36,279 --> 00:32:39,759
But at the same time, people ask or answer these

548
00:32:39,839 --> 00:32:43,759
questions very strangely. When you have people that are saying

549
00:32:44,519 --> 00:32:47,079
that they about the protest and whether or not this

550
00:32:47,240 --> 00:32:50,160
is a concern, sixty three percent in the Fox News

551
00:32:50,160 --> 00:32:54,200
poles said that they're extremely or very concerned about the protest,

552
00:32:54,559 --> 00:32:57,920
and sixty six percent they they're very concerned about the

553
00:32:57,960 --> 00:33:00,880
domestic use of military troops. I think that's where Harry's

554
00:33:00,920 --> 00:33:03,200
picking up people are going on. I don't know about

555
00:33:03,240 --> 00:33:08,680
bringing in the troops, but the police said they were overwhelmed. Meantime,

556
00:33:09,200 --> 00:33:12,079
when all that said and done, as I started the program,

557
00:33:12,119 --> 00:33:16,640
I told you that the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals

558
00:33:17,400 --> 00:33:22,079
has ruled in favor of Donald Trump keeping control over

559
00:33:22,160 --> 00:33:27,160
the California National Guard to respond to immigration protest in LA.

560
00:33:28,079 --> 00:33:30,799
So this was they'd said. The judge in San Francisco

561
00:33:30,920 --> 00:33:34,160
last week aired when he ordered Trump to return control

562
00:33:34,480 --> 00:33:38,559
the Gavin Newsom. By the way, it was a unanimous

563
00:33:38,960 --> 00:33:42,559
thirty eight page ruling three judge panel US Court of

564
00:33:42,599 --> 00:33:47,839
Appeals Ninth Circuit said conditions in Los Angeles were sufficient

565
00:33:48,400 --> 00:33:50,759
for mister Trump to decide that he needed to take

566
00:33:50,799 --> 00:33:54,920
federal control of California's National Guard and deployed it to

567
00:33:55,079 --> 00:33:58,839
ensure that federal immigration laws would be enforced. So it's

568
00:33:59,039 --> 00:34:03,480
really rare when the Ninth Circuit favors a Republican president.

569
00:34:03,880 --> 00:34:08,079
It's double triple, quadruple rare when you get a unanimous

570
00:34:08,199 --> 00:34:11,800
ruling in favor of Donald Trump. So I presume the

571
00:34:11,840 --> 00:34:14,920
State of California is going to appeal this. Don't know

572
00:34:14,960 --> 00:34:17,480
if the Supreme Court will listen to it or not.

573
00:34:18,360 --> 00:34:22,920
But that's so that's the mixed bag. Harry Inton says.

574
00:34:22,960 --> 00:34:27,719
People say, I don't like the idea of using using

575
00:34:28,559 --> 00:34:32,039
troops on the streets of Los Angeles. The Fox News

576
00:34:32,119 --> 00:34:35,400
parl implied the same sort of thing, but the court said, yeah,

577
00:34:35,400 --> 00:34:44,599
but the president has the authority. Former Acting Nice Director

578
00:34:44,679 --> 00:34:48,119
Jonathan Fayhe weighed in on all of this today.

579
00:34:48,760 --> 00:34:51,599
Speaker 11: Yeah, it's a huge win for President Trump and his

580
00:34:51,679 --> 00:34:54,840
decision here, and for a couple of reasons. One, they

581
00:34:54,880 --> 00:34:57,679
agreed with an alone substance he can use the National

582
00:34:57,679 --> 00:35:01,039
Guard if these writers were interfered with his ability to

583
00:35:01,079 --> 00:35:03,679
carry out his executive mission, in this case the ice

584
00:35:04,440 --> 00:35:07,800
laws or the immigration laws. Second, they also made a

585
00:35:07,840 --> 00:35:12,280
nod to basically deferential deference to the president. Basically, this

586
00:35:12,320 --> 00:35:14,679
is his decision to make, so they which is a

587
00:35:14,719 --> 00:35:16,559
lot different than a lot of these central courts have

588
00:35:16,599 --> 00:35:19,159
been doing, which they haven't been recognized in a deference

589
00:35:19,480 --> 00:35:23,320
to the executive branch. So huge win. The reaction from

590
00:35:23,519 --> 00:35:26,480
Governor Newsom is quite remarkable. I mean sort of this

591
00:35:26,639 --> 00:35:30,760
no King's nonsense, which is just the standard democratic talking point.

592
00:35:30,960 --> 00:35:35,320
But what's also important substantively, the chief of police in

593
00:35:35,400 --> 00:35:38,679
Los Angeles said before the National Guard was brought in

594
00:35:38,920 --> 00:35:42,119
that they were overwhelmed with a situation. So this wasn't

595
00:35:42,199 --> 00:35:45,199
just President Trump acting on his oone. This was seen

596
00:35:45,599 --> 00:35:48,360
on the ground by local law enforcement. Ultimately, though, this

597
00:35:48,440 --> 00:35:50,880
is a huge win for President Trump, a huge win

598
00:35:50,960 --> 00:35:53,559
for the citizens of Los Angeles and America.

599
00:35:53,840 --> 00:35:56,119
Speaker 5: And also huge win for law enforcement.

600
00:35:55,760 --> 00:35:58,400
Speaker 11: That they're able to carry out their duties and they

601
00:35:58,440 --> 00:36:02,960
get the support of the federal govern when local agitators, rioters,

602
00:36:03,320 --> 00:36:05,480
even politicians are standing in their way.

603
00:36:06,239 --> 00:36:11,199
Speaker 1: And Jonathan Turley, the Georgetown law professor, had this comment

604
00:36:11,320 --> 00:36:14,960
about the case as well.

605
00:36:13,800 --> 00:36:17,119
Speaker 12: Well, this was obviously something of a buzzkill for Governor Newsom.

606
00:36:17,199 --> 00:36:22,159
I mean, it interrupted his narrative that he's defending against

607
00:36:22,239 --> 00:36:25,639
the outbreak of tyranny. The court here is saying that, actually,

608
00:36:26,000 --> 00:36:28,440
you're on the other side of the rule of law

609
00:36:28,440 --> 00:36:32,159
on this one. That the statue gives the president this authority,

610
00:36:32,360 --> 00:36:35,719
he has a discretion to make that decision, that any

611
00:36:36,480 --> 00:36:39,000
violation of the statue was a highly technical one that

612
00:36:39,039 --> 00:36:42,320
wouldn't justify what the District Court did here. And it

613
00:36:42,440 --> 00:36:49,519
also freezes the District Court's decision, which was really problematic

614
00:36:49,559 --> 00:36:51,960
for many You know, this is a district court judge

615
00:36:52,239 --> 00:36:56,360
that suggested that President Trump was acting like King George,

616
00:36:56,400 --> 00:36:59,000
and the opinion was sort of full of sort of

617
00:36:59,119 --> 00:37:03,880
talking points we've seen out of some of the Democratic politicians.

618
00:37:04,239 --> 00:37:07,079
All of that has been set aside by the Ninth

619
00:37:07,119 --> 00:37:10,639
Circuit that says the president has this authority, he's likely

620
00:37:10,719 --> 00:37:13,679
to prevail, and no, we do not believe the governor

621
00:37:13,719 --> 00:37:18,480
has a veto on the deployment of National Guards personnel.

622
00:37:19,039 --> 00:37:21,840
You could see what happened just last night in Oregon

623
00:37:22,880 --> 00:37:27,880
that that is precisely the type of violence that the

624
00:37:27,920 --> 00:37:31,239
President says he's trying to quell. He's trying to stop

625
00:37:31,320 --> 00:37:36,320
this from going out of control. These are National guardsmen

626
00:37:36,320 --> 00:37:40,639
that we're protecting federal buildings. They're not engaged in the

627
00:37:40,840 --> 00:37:44,840
enforcement of immigration laws. And you know, the district court

628
00:37:44,960 --> 00:37:47,559
in this case really said something I thought was pretty

629
00:37:47,559 --> 00:37:52,679
extreme and unsupportable. He said, you know, yeah, the president's

630
00:37:52,679 --> 00:37:56,519
ability to enforce federal immigration law may have been diminished,

631
00:37:56,719 --> 00:37:58,800
but it wasn't eliminated entirely.

632
00:37:58,880 --> 00:38:01,000
Speaker 5: And the Ninth Circuit said, what's that.

633
00:38:01,199 --> 00:38:03,599
Speaker 12: I mean, you don't have to wait until your authority

634
00:38:03,639 --> 00:38:07,280
is completely eliminated in order for you to act. The

635
00:38:07,360 --> 00:38:11,679
statute is allowing him to deploy these troops to allow

636
00:38:11,719 --> 00:38:15,119
the enforcement of federal law. And at the same time,

637
00:38:15,199 --> 00:38:19,039
you had an LA politician democrat saying, you know, ice

638
00:38:19,119 --> 00:38:21,880
in the federal government just needs to quote retreat and

639
00:38:21,920 --> 00:38:25,400
then everything will be calm. Well, that's not going to happen.

640
00:38:25,440 --> 00:38:29,199
Either federal law can be enforced by federal officials, and

641
00:38:29,280 --> 00:38:32,679
it's going to go forward. They have ten cases still

642
00:38:32,679 --> 00:38:35,159
in the pipeline, and that's not including what's called the

643
00:38:35,199 --> 00:38:39,119
shadow docket or the emergency cases before the court, which

644
00:38:39,119 --> 00:38:43,199
are quite significant in and of themselves. The term is

645
00:38:43,199 --> 00:38:45,480
supposed to end next week. They could always extend that.

646
00:38:45,880 --> 00:38:49,199
There's the injunction issue in the birthright citizens ship case,

647
00:38:49,480 --> 00:38:52,480
which is of great importance to the administration. They've been

648
00:38:52,559 --> 00:38:57,400
arguing that these individual judges are freezing the federal government

649
00:38:57,599 --> 00:39:01,400
from important policy moves and program and they're trying to

650
00:39:01,480 --> 00:39:05,800
confine that role. That could change a lot of these cases.

651
00:39:06,159 --> 00:39:10,000
And that's just one of five very significant cases we're

652
00:39:10,000 --> 00:39:10,760
still waiting for.

653
00:39:11,840 --> 00:39:15,400
Speaker 1: Yeah, and we'll waiting until next week. Most of those decisions.

654
00:39:15,440 --> 00:39:18,599
The court session ends at the end of this month,

655
00:39:18,639 --> 00:39:20,679
so they have basically another week to get some of

656
00:39:20,760 --> 00:39:26,639
those very important rulings out. So we have phone calls,

657
00:39:27,039 --> 00:39:28,480
and I looked over the phone, but we've got a

658
00:39:28,519 --> 00:39:31,079
lot of great phone calls this past week. I thought

659
00:39:31,079 --> 00:39:34,440
I would play some of them for you. Some of

660
00:39:34,440 --> 00:39:38,719
the people that you might recognize. For example, let's start

661
00:39:38,760 --> 00:39:40,760
off with salty.

662
00:39:41,440 --> 00:39:45,639
Speaker 13: Oh, Tom, it's salty. I can't believe it. I got

663
00:39:45,679 --> 00:39:50,159
this thing on the Facebook. Tom It said, I'm like

664
00:39:50,239 --> 00:39:53,440
a number one saying, I don't know how that happened,

665
00:39:53,840 --> 00:39:55,800
but I certainly embrace it.

666
00:39:56,480 --> 00:39:56,840
Speaker 14: Buddy.

667
00:39:56,960 --> 00:40:00,960
Speaker 13: I love you, and I am listening. There's the program

668
00:40:00,960 --> 00:40:05,000
as I go to sleep at night, so it's like

669
00:40:05,159 --> 00:40:09,400
you're telling me a lullaby, except for the world is

670
00:40:09,480 --> 00:40:15,400
on fire instead. But anyway, I loved how you're reporting

671
00:40:15,519 --> 00:40:18,880
on the news, and I loved your interview with I

672
00:40:19,079 --> 00:40:22,199
believe her name was Lorie Holy Cow.

673
00:40:22,880 --> 00:40:23,000
Speaker 14: Uh.

674
00:40:23,400 --> 00:40:27,000
Speaker 13: Keep doing what you're doing, buddy, we'll talk to you later.

675
00:40:27,599 --> 00:40:29,719
It's salty. Henderson's signing all.

676
00:40:33,639 --> 00:40:38,360
Speaker 1: Yes, there's salty. He is the number one fan. And

677
00:40:39,000 --> 00:40:43,199
Betty from Oklahoma City. She also gave me a call

678
00:40:43,280 --> 00:40:44,280
earlier this week.

679
00:40:44,519 --> 00:40:48,480
Speaker 14: Maybe they consider me some kind of rest which is

680
00:40:48,519 --> 00:40:49,800
absolutely insane.

681
00:40:50,320 --> 00:40:53,039
Speaker 3: But anyway, like I said, the little old women be

682
00:40:53,159 --> 00:40:54,880
are seniors, grandmothers and.

683
00:40:54,840 --> 00:40:59,400
Speaker 14: Great grandmothers like myself. We are scared to death, like

684
00:40:59,480 --> 00:41:03,000
I said, want few bathrooms that are open and available

685
00:41:03,039 --> 00:41:06,519
to us to go into because there's men using them.

686
00:41:06,599 --> 00:41:09,280
And I do mean man, and do not think you're

687
00:41:09,320 --> 00:41:12,639
going to force me to deny God Almighty and put

688
00:41:12,679 --> 00:41:16,199
myself in danger of hell fire because of your food

689
00:41:16,320 --> 00:41:20,519
is it's your insanity because God only created too a

690
00:41:20,639 --> 00:41:22,199
man and a woman, and.

691
00:41:22,360 --> 00:41:26,000
Speaker 13: There is no other. And anybody that goes along with that.

692
00:41:26,159 --> 00:41:29,760
Speaker 14: Is denying God Almighty and putting their soul at risk

693
00:41:29,800 --> 00:41:30,679
of hell fire.

694
00:41:31,320 --> 00:41:35,960
Speaker 13: Worship and come back to sanity before it is too late.

695
00:41:36,400 --> 00:41:44,079
Speaker 1: Because yeah, that's very Betty, And so Betty's upset about

696
00:41:44,840 --> 00:41:52,000
these the trans use of bathrooms. Darla weighed in on

697
00:41:52,960 --> 00:41:57,400
she watched the Armies two hundred and fiftieth birthday parade.

698
00:41:57,760 --> 00:41:58,440
She loved it.

699
00:41:59,440 --> 00:42:02,599
Speaker 15: Hey, Tom, it's Darla from Lockford, California.

700
00:42:02,800 --> 00:42:04,039
Speaker 3: I just wanted to say that.

701
00:42:04,199 --> 00:42:09,519
Speaker 15: I loved the military parade celebrating the two hundred and

702
00:42:09,559 --> 00:42:13,119
fiftieth anniversary of the US Army. I thought it was

703
00:42:13,320 --> 00:42:16,559
well done. I watched every single minute of it. I

704
00:42:16,679 --> 00:42:23,840
felt pride and patriotism and I just I really really

705
00:42:24,199 --> 00:42:24,719
loved it.

706
00:42:25,519 --> 00:42:27,679
Speaker 1: Good. So did I, so did a lot of people.

707
00:42:30,639 --> 00:42:33,559

That's what he said, quote unquote. So I'm sorry you

725
00:43:49,960 --> 00:43:52,599

726
00:43:52,760 --> 00:43:55,679

731
00:44:12,679 --> 00:44:15,119
and love what you're doing. Glad to get your audios

732
00:44:15,280 --> 00:44:19,639
levels kind of adjusted. My one comment for you was

733
00:44:19,679 --> 00:44:23,119
going to be now that you're on a podcast and

734
00:44:23,159 --> 00:44:26,440
you're not really bound by the rules of you know,

735
00:44:26,760 --> 00:44:30,719
radio broadcasting, and so honestly, I would love to hear

736
00:44:30,840 --> 00:44:35,039
you just say that somethin's bullshit when something's bullshit, because

737
00:44:35,119 --> 00:44:37,440
I think that would mean so much more just coming

738
00:44:37,440 --> 00:44:38,920
from you, and I know you. I don't want to

739
00:44:38,920 --> 00:44:41,400
blow up your audience and have it be a foul

740
00:44:41,480 --> 00:44:44,239
out everything, but every now and then, when you just

741
00:44:44,480 --> 00:44:47,559
call it like it is, I'd absolutely love to hear it.

742
00:44:47,599 --> 00:44:47,920

745
00:44:54,400 --> 00:44:55,320
Speaker 1: I hope so too.

746
00:44:56,239 --> 00:44:56,320
Speaker 4: No.

747
00:44:56,599 --> 00:44:59,960
Speaker 1: I mean, I know you can swear on a podcast,

748
00:45:00,159 --> 00:45:03,800
but this is not my style. But I but listen,

749
00:45:04,719 --> 00:45:06,679
what can I say, Alex, thank you for the call.

750
00:45:06,880 --> 00:45:10,000
I appreciate it very much. So let's let's wrap up

751
00:45:10,079 --> 00:45:14,440
this phone call business for the week with the lady

752
00:45:14,519 --> 00:45:18,400
we always put at the end of the comment line,

753
00:45:19,239 --> 00:45:22,159
and that would be I've got I've got three different

754
00:45:22,239 --> 00:45:26,960
calls from the comment line lady better known as Laurie,

755
00:45:28,280 --> 00:45:29,400
and here's our first call.

756
00:45:30,159 --> 00:45:33,679
Speaker 17: As a citizen of the great state of California. I

757
00:45:33,920 --> 00:45:37,639
have a proposition for the good people of Pennsylvania. We

758
00:45:37,719 --> 00:45:42,119
will trade you Senator Alex Padilla for Senator John Setterman,

759
00:45:42,800 --> 00:45:46,360
and we'll even throw in Adam Schiff for make weight.

760
00:45:48,039 --> 00:45:51,599
Speaker 1: That's a kind throwing Adam Shiff at the same time, Pennsylvania,

761
00:45:52,880 --> 00:45:55,480
what do you think? And I don't think you're going

762
00:45:55,519 --> 00:45:59,800
to buy into that. Here's Laurie number two for the week.

763
00:46:00,199 --> 00:46:03,239
Speaker 17: I think we should help Israel. I don't think it's

764
00:46:03,280 --> 00:46:06,400
going to get us into a forever war. But if

765
00:46:06,440 --> 00:46:09,360
we don't help Israel, we may wind up in a

766
00:46:09,519 --> 00:46:14,000
very short war on our own shores and we won't

767
00:46:14,239 --> 00:46:14,639
win it.

768
00:46:15,320 --> 00:46:19,000
Speaker 1: A little more ominous, a little more serious. And the last,

769
00:46:19,000 --> 00:46:23,039
but not least, the comment line Lady Laurie talking about

770
00:46:24,000 --> 00:46:24,800
the parade.

771
00:46:25,480 --> 00:46:29,400
Speaker 17: So people are complaining that Donald Trump's birthday coincided with

772
00:46:29,480 --> 00:46:33,159
a big military parade. I guess we should be grateful

773
00:46:33,199 --> 00:46:35,920
he wasn't born on December twenty fifth, or they'd be

774
00:46:35,960 --> 00:46:37,960
wanting us to cancel the Christmas season.

775
00:46:40,039 --> 00:46:43,719
Speaker 1: Makes me laugh every time. So that's Those are some

776
00:46:43,760 --> 00:46:45,800
of the phone calls for the week. The phone number

777
00:46:45,880 --> 00:46:48,599
is the same as it's always been eight five five

778
00:46:49,239 --> 00:46:53,400
two nine five sixty six hundred eighty five five two

779
00:46:53,519 --> 00:46:56,679
nine five sixty six hundred. You can also find that

780
00:46:56,800 --> 00:46:59,840
number and ways to hopefully find the podcast if you're

781
00:46:59,840 --> 00:47:02,599
having trouble, but you're not if you're listening to us,

782
00:47:03,280 --> 00:47:06,199
it's be on my website, which is Tom Sullivan dot com.

783
00:47:06,360 --> 00:47:11,840
The markets today pretty tame, Dow up thirty five, SMP

784
00:47:12,039 --> 00:47:16,119
down thirteen, NASDACK down ninety eight, so everything was pretty calm.

785
00:47:16,519 --> 00:47:19,039
The price of goal down twenty six dollars, it's now

786
00:47:19,039 --> 00:47:22,239
at thirty three eighty one, and oil barely moved. It

787
00:47:22,280 --> 00:47:27,039
was down fourteen cents to close it seventy five dollars

788
00:47:27,079 --> 00:47:30,280
for one barrel of oil. So that's it for today.

789
00:47:30,360 --> 00:47:33,039
That's it for this week. Have yourself a wonderful weekend.

790
00:47:33,480 --> 00:47:35,320
We're going to try this again on Monday. I hope

00:47:35,320 --> 00:47:35,880
to see you then
