Hi everybody. Today's Friday, March 6, 2020,
6, and our dear friend, Carol Wilkerson and Larry Johnson are here with us. Welcome back.
Yeah, I'm doing this in protest. You're dressed like a funeral home director.
I noted that. Yeah, it's a bit dark.
Okay, but I'll stick around. Yeah, let me start with the latest rumors that are coming out.
It seems that there is a difference between Marco Rubio. I don't know how much of these rumors are
have something to the reality of what's going on. But the rumors saying that the US
there is a difference between Rubio and Pete Hexat. Pete Hexat wants to send troops to Iran.
And Marco Rubio said, no, this is going to be a long word. These are the current situation in
Washington. We don't know if something like this is happening in Washington. And here is what
are actually, you know, the foreign minister of Iran said in his interview about the invasion.
I'm afraid of a US invasion in your country. No, we are waiting for them.
You are waiting for the US military to invade the ground troops.
Yes, because we are confident that we can confront them. And that will be a disaster for them.
So you're saying that Iran is ready and willing to take on the US military if there were
to be ground troops? Well, we've already for this war even more than the previous war.
So you can see, you know, the quality of our resize, how much they are upgraded after the
last war because we learned lots of lessons. And we are prepared for any other eventuality,
even, you know, a ground invasion. So our soldiers are prepared for any scenario. When I said
that we are waiting for them, it didn't mean that we are waiting for continuation of the war. No,
what we have prepared ourselves to confront with any scenario, with any eventuality, any possibility,
and we know that we can handle that. Are your allies, are your allies Russia and China helping you?
Well, they are supporting us politically and otherwise.
Yeah, this is what he said. Go ahead. What I like, Nima, is that in the NBC questioner.
Yeah, you would doubt what Trump says about the empire is absolutely perfect military.
Yeah, I mean, if you want to, they ought to put a picture in the dictionary,
you know, for the word dumbfounded. This picture would be honest. That captures it right in the moment.
Yeah, how how much of what the concept of sending the concept of sending troops to Iran and they
were talking about, you know, Kurdish terrorist group, you being used in Iran, you know, all of that
from Iraqi Kurdistan and all of that. How much of what is going on this sort of, you know,
propaganda machine I would say because there is something with in the mind of the Trump administration
that they feel, they really feel that they can do something on the ground. What is your understanding
of that? Well, Russia is right, I think, essentially, in both the broad concept he suggested
the Iran being ready and also in the specific specific concept that he suggested, at least indirectly,
that they can handle it. Let's take the Kurds first. The Kurds, in my experience, having dealt with
them fairly extensively and operation provide comfort, the end of the first Iraq war, if you will,
are their own worst enemies, whether they're in northern Iraq and Iran and Syria or in
southeastern Turkey, they're their own worst enemies. In this case, were they to join? Not only would
they meet the helicopters that Russia sent in at the sort of last minute, but expressly for this
purpose and they would meet hell, they would also have Erdogan falling in on their rear to finally
finish them off. So you want to invite Erdogan into this conflict in a way that he is thus far
indicated he's not interested in, do that and make the Kurds anywhere near viable the way you
are in them and so forth for exercises in Iran. And then the bigger issue is us, and if you write
about the split, then finally Rubios write about something. Disaster, absolute disaster. You couldn't
find enough amphibious bottoms, Neema, to mount a marine invasion. That's about the only way we could
do it given the circumstances. And if they were sent, it wouldn't be any more than about 50,000,
and I dare say they'd be swallowed up in a very short time. And we would lose all those people,
either to prison or death or some combination. Mobilizing the country even, we would face real
serious consequences domestically. I don't think we could do conscription that is have a draft
because lots of people would go to Mexico and Canada. I'm quite sure that having been on multiple
campuses across the country over the last decade, conducting all volunteer force forum symposia
from Ohio State, the San Angeles State in Texas, to William and Mary, to Catholic University
back here on the east coast. We got the real register of our young people for you.
Even those who are in ROTC programs at places like Ohio State, where one woman told us,
I'm here, I'm sad to say I'm really not here for my country, I'm here because it's free.
And when we pulled them, whether or not they would serve, it was overwhelming, overwhelming,
so that would be a tremendous problem. And even mobilizing, we don't have a mobilization apparatus
to include a dependable selective service system. We don't have a capacity to mobilize,
and you would have to name them because we couldn't even with the army showing up.
At any given time, about 10 to 20 percent of the army is non-deployable for whatever reason,
pregnancy, other reasons like that, they're non-deployable. So you might be able to put enough
to last a week or two on the ground anymore. That is if they didn't get decimated while they were
landing. This is a desert shield desert store. It simply isn't where we took six months to test
units, send them through the National Training Center, and so forth, if they were reserved
units and tell them they couldn't go, if they fail, and tell them they could go, if they could,
and Georgia had a brigade that failed, and Georgia's politicians were really angry with
Powell because he wouldn't send them. We took the brigade from Texas instead because they passed
at the National Training Center. So that kind of process just isn't in the works for this country
in a way that it could be done in that previous time desert shield as a storm. We don't have
the forces anymore, and we don't have the mobilization apparatus at all, by the way, the reserves
are the most short people, components of all our services, hospitals, nurses, doctors,
dentists. You name it. We don't have them. It's a joke, if you say we're going to go to
Graham Warner, Ron. It's a joke that would rebound on a lot of serious casualties almost immediately.
So this is Rubio's ride on this one. Well, let me say I disagree. I think it'd be a great idea
as long as, and this is the key caveat. Pete Hankseth is leading the column.
With God only side. Yeah. No, just a big target t-shirt on. No, I look, I agree with everything,
Colonel Wilkerson said. I mean, this is absurd, ridiculous. But it's a sign of our desperation,
because the air power thing's not working out too well. When you step back and realize
that Iran, in a period of six days, has destroyed $5 billion worth of radar systems,
completely blinded it. The United States and Israel, they had these two different types of radar.
One was AN, T-P-Y, and the other was ANFPS. And I mean, one of them cost between $500 million
and a billion. And the others were billion plus. Five of them are dead. Gone.
So we no longer getting early warning detection. They get about a minute warning.
Whoops, incoming. They've done that. The Iranians have decimated the U.S. basis
that at least eight of them in the region, as well as you're going after CIA
infrastructure and offices. So despite all the happy talk, that same guy that worked for
Zelensky up in Kiev that would come out and give the reports about, yeah, the Russians,
they fired our missiles. We shot down 95% of them. That guy's now working down in the Persian Gulf.
Yeah, he's helping the Pentagon. He's helping Admiral Brad Cooper.
Yeah, we decimated them. They 90%. Yeah.
Then how in the world did they blow up your billion dollar radar?
Because we can see it's a drone that did it. In one case, you see the drone comes out, boom.
Where was our highly-vanted air defense system? The gas lighting that's going on right now on
the part of the Pentagon is, I mean, we've seen it before. We saw it in the first Gulf War.
We saw it in 2003 and we saw it in Iraq with Operation Iraqi Freedom or enduring freedom in the
Iraqi for, you know, OEF and OIF and EIEIO. So, yeah, this is the delusion is strong right now in
Washington. By that, Epic Fury was a great selection of names. And this is going to be an
other direction we intended. Well, actually, with the EIEIO could become Epic fuck up.
Yeah, that'd be more appropriate. But there are people calling apps in Fury.
Yeah, well, yeah. And that's true too.
Come on, I think one of the main objectives of this war, if it takes a long time to put an end to it,
it would be ammunition. And which is one of the most important ammunition is the King of Battlefield
as they call it in a war of attrition. And here is what Pete Hexet said.
Shortage of munitions, our stockpiles of defensive and offensive weapons allow us to sustain this
campaign as long as we need to. Again, our munition status only increases as our advantage increases.
Yeah, come on. You know, it's, it's almost as if naming it a standard practice. And this
includes the recently released job reports, which are now being blown out of the sky, of taking
your weakness, focusing on it and lying about that it is not a weakness. It's incredible the way
they do this. I think they must have a gang of people that run around finding all the things that
are seriously deficient, militarily, economically or whatever. And then crafting the words they're
going to hurl at the American people and ultimately at the globe that are lies to defeat that
efficiency or the criticism that highlights that deficiency. It includes Epstein, of course,
in a grand sort of way. But what he's talking about is pure poppycock. We have actually been out
in the hustings, if you will, with teams trying to ask, and when I say we, it's RTX, it's
Lockheed Martin, it's Grumman and others, trying to ascertain what could be done with regard to
increasing production of various and sundry, very critical items, one of which is Patriot
Air defense missions. We have found a mixture of things out there, but one of the things we found
is there aren't the facilities to do it. The second thing we found, for example, in Arkansas,
was a reluctance to do it because of the tech data packages having such strictures on them in order
to keep the proprietary material husbanded by the main contractor, which has become a real practice
of the five or six big ones, RTX, Lockheed, Grumman and so forth. So it's not a sanguine picture
out there, even if we could, and then on top of that problem, is the problem of maybe six months
to a year to increase production, and even to what they used to call L-R-I-P, low rate initial
production, which is fairly low rate, as the name suggests, and to get the high production would take
18 months to two years. And we're talking about serious munitions like Tomahawks and other
similar munitions. And we're also talking, I'm told increasingly, and Larry may know more about
this than I had a little conversation with Doug about it, Doug McGrarrer. We're also going through
precision-guided munitions so swiftly that we are now dropping iron bombs, like we did in Vietnam.
This is incredible that we're flying these billion-dollar fleets of aircraft out there,
like F-35 and so forth, extended rage, F-15s and such, very expensive aircraft, and dropping iron
bombs off of them if it's true. And I don't for a minute suspect that it's not true. We are
running out of PGMs in other words, which is probably the greatest advantage, increasingly becoming
less so, but we have over other militaries in the world. Is this incredible supply of PGMs,
a lot of them, or a lot of which are delivered from the pile on, so an airplane of some sort of
another? If that's true, then we really are in even deep kimchi with regard to this air war
wonder that's going to win the conflict for us. I've also understood, and Larry may know more about
this than I, that the Iranians learned from the Serbs back when Bill Clinton bombed them from
right now. They have some cardboard cutouts out there. They have silhouettes out there,
and that we have pilots from these billion-dollar worth of aircraft, like F-35s that, oh, by the way,
are registering about a 42% operationally ready-rate right now, something predicted by everyone
criticizing the program all along. They are reporting these back as kills. They're saying, as they
did in Serbia, they're saying, I got that, when I got that, when I got that, when I look at the
telemetry on my airplane, look at the photos, and what they're killing is cardboard. They might
have cost $50 for the Iranians to assemble and put up. A lot of line going on, Dima. A lot of line.
Yeah, Larry. Yeah, those shades of Vietnam, you know, the body counts, that
where the Pentagon got invested in putting out a story that was killing a lot more Vietnamese,
that was actually the truth. So, you know, we keep hearing that the B2 has been used, and they've
dropped bombs, you know, they dropped bunker busters in Iran. Well, maybe they have, but what strikes me
as odd is, remember after Trump did operation, you know, midnight fury or whatever the hell it was
called last June? Within 24 hours, we had satellite photographs courtesy of the administration
saying, look, see, here's what we did. You can see the damage. We're not getting those now.
So, that's, huh, you know, because if we've been effective in having the impact on Iran that we
claim, show the photos. We're not seeing that. So, it is, I did look up the JDAM production. We
probably have, we're not running short of JDAMs. We are running short of fads. So, the terrain
high altitude area, defense weapon, which those missiles are produced 79 of them a year to the
tune of $12 to $30 million a piece. And I guess there was something like a total of nine or 10
units in the world, because only if they're only able to produce like one, maybe on a good year or
two, Iran has already destroyed three of them in one week. So, it's, you know, they're down on that
front. So, even if they had missiles to shoot, they don't have the actual systems to launch.
So, again, this, we keep mistaking our so-called technological superiority as a guarantee of victory.
And I, you know, I watched with Colonel Wilker said yesterday, we were Danny Haifong,
and we saw Pete Higgs have talked about, you know, we've got air superiority. We control the
skies. And, you know, I thought, well, gee, we, we controlled the skies over Iraq too. That didn't
guarantee victory. We controlled the skies over Afghanistan for 20 years for heaven's sake. How
that turnout. So, you know, just having quote air supremacy doesn't mean a thing. Unless you're
going to put troops on the ground. And it's Colonel Wilker, and so, so accurately described it.
We don't have the manpower. We don't have the logistics train. Hell, how would you even get
them in place to go into the country? Because this is no longer, you know, this is no longer 80 years
ago in World War II on the eve of D-Day where we could assemble troops in areas without the
Germans being able to know exactly where we were and what we were doing. Because you didn't have
the sophisticated ISR. Now in the age of sophisticated ISR, you can't hide that. It's impossible.
So, the administration is going to be struggling, you know, probably by the end of next week,
because they will be depleted of Patriot missile battery or the Patriot missiles, the PAC-3s.
And it looks like, in fact, they're already starting to go back to the old PAC-2
because they don't have any more PAC-3s. So, there are shortages that will emerge in certain
and certain areas. And then you get the, you know, let's call it the the operational wear and tear.
You know, if you got these planes taking off and flying every day and doing a mission,
turning around, air refueling, you know, at some point, you're going to have accidents,
and you're just also going to have equipment failure. It's inevitable.
Yeah. And just to add to that name, what I'm hearing, maybe not accurate, but what I'm hearing,
and it comes from reasonably reliable sources, is that increasingly, we are unable to deliver
the ordnance from wing pylons except at distance. And so, if you're going to deliver at distance to
minimize your exposure to whatever the Iranians might have, and the F-15s would not indicate that
it's minimal, the destruction of the F-15s, you're not going to hit your target much of the time,
even though the JDAM might make the iron bomb a precision-guide ammunition, ostensibly. We found
this out in supporting the Saudis in the Yemen war, because the Saudi pilots were such brave people,
they often would release them a little bit early, if you will. And what happens then is you have a
dumb bomb at the end of trajectory in your bomb hospitals and children's schools and buses with 48
kids on board, and things like that, and leave the Raytheon insignia and the bus. So that's a problem,
and then on top of that, I'm hearing also that we are, as Larry said, we're running out of these
critical munitions that are going to, essentially, allow what is increasingly happening already,
just from the attrition rate, more and more Iranian missiles of any category, and they haven't
even used, I don't think they're very best yet, on Israel. There's a reason, O'Bibi is flying around
more than a flight steward or a flight attendant on a major airline. He doesn't want to be killed,
and that's a very distinct possibility. They've already targeted a couple of places where they
thought he was and completely destroyed him. He wasn't there because he's junking all over the world,
and I think Larry pointed this out on another podcast yesterday, but I'm hearing more and more,
and I'm hearing from my British friends, that that was a false flag operation against
British in Cyprus or Greece, southern Greece, wherever it was, and they know that now. Stormers
not making any publication of it or anything, but it was, and so you've got some decision going
on in the British military staff about how to react to that or whether to react at all.
You got Farage headed from Aralago to tell Trump, apparently, that he's all for the
Mauritian deal with the Chagos Islanders to be allowing of US use of Diego Garcia,
and at the same time you got Starmer saying, well, as long as it's just defensive,
I'm not for any offensive, but if it's defensive, and now they're using that attack in Cyprus,
as the reason to call it defensive and allow us to have use of Diego Garcia, which we now need,
because we got our facility for vertical tube loading knocked out in Bahrain.
This is, you know, it's insanity what we're doing and we're bringing our allies in and
joining the insanity in some cases. Larry, when it comes to the false flag operation,
how did you find the attacks on Nakhjavan in Azerbaijan, and because there were some attacks
of the Azerbaijan government came out and said that you have to be careful with that, and we had
Aramco in Saudi Arabia as well being a time. How do you see the whole concept of false flag?
Is that in operation? Oh, absolutely. Again, this is the desperation of Israel right now behind all
of these. They want to get the reason for the attack in Cyprus is to try to get a NATO response,
you know, that they declare an article five. The problem with that though, you got to have
unanimity, and the French and the Spaniards have already said, and I actually, I think,
Melody as well, Nileam said, no, no, no, no, this is what I get involved with this.
Europe, Europe is going to be the one that's really going to be suffering sooner rather than later
with this cutoff of the liquid natural gas out of Qatar, and as well as the cutoff of oil coming
out of the Persian Gulf. So this, this is where, you know, Iran doesn't have to fire a shot
other than, you know, launch a missile, anti-ship missile here or there. By controlling the
straight of Hormuz, Iran is going to be able to dictate terms of how this thing ends, I believe,
because the economic consequences will become so great. But the other thing,
the long-term damage this has done to Dubai and Doha. So Qatar and the United Arab Emirates
with Dubai, you know, they've, these places have gotten built up over the last 25 years.
It's sort of a great, if you will, party towns, you know, the luxury living, and you know,
you get the finest food, you know, you don't, you're not shoveling snow in the winter.
Now, they are this vulnerable. How would you like to be some guy that, so it was investing,
you know, five billion dollars in a property there? You know, but you can't get there because
the airports are closed. And then when you try to get out, you've got to probably get in a car
and drive, you know, 800 miles to the south to Oman, maybe you can get out to Muscat.
So this, the fallout from this is significant. And then so that's why Israel recognizes it's
only a way to try to survive this is to get, you know, NATO involved and then to get maybe
Azerbaijan. You know, like, Azerbaijan has been in bed with the Israelis for a long time.
But what Iran is doing, you know, Iran's not, they're not flailing. They're not like somebody that's
in a bar fight just trying to hit everybody. They've actually, it looks, it looks to me like they've
had a pretty well organized plan as far as take out US military assets, attack CIA positions at
the various embassies. And, you know, most of the embassies US presence in the Gulf has been,
they've shut down. So they're not active now. And the words coming out from that,
both the Saudis and the Qataris and the Emirates are saying, what the hell have you done to us
America? What? In fact, there was a letter, some one of the billionaires in the United Arab Emirates
sent a letter to Trump yesterday, my goodness. He was just ripping the skin off in terms of just
how dare you do this? Who said you could do this? You know, and so I think the rumors are going
to start pulling their money out of, you know, dumping treasuries and getting into gold, silver,
or something else, but they're no longer going to be the piggy bank for Washington.
No, you know, I was just thinking about something that Larry got in my head talking about
ground forces just to drop this out there. Not Germany anymore, which used to have the largest
US ROM facility in the world, reception and all movement, Kuwait had the largest facility,
and the most sophisticated facility, all because of Desert Shield. And then later,
Ron Svel's lesser attempt at the Second Rack war, they still do. I wonder how that would fare
if Iran were to target it. I don't know that they haven't already, but I suspect we evacuated a
lot of the people from that because they're very vulnerable there. But if you didn't have that,
you ain't going into a rhyme with ground troops unless you're going to salt the beach with Marines.
And I've been there and done that planning. There ain't too many deep beaches you can do that
on where you aren't so vulnerable that you get torn up before you even get a mile inland.
Yeah. Larry, we're not hearing that much from inside Israel that we don't know what is happening.
A little bit of, you know, news coming out and talking about the devastation or the
outcome of Iranian missiles going into Israel. But here is a video in which one of the Israeli
army soldiers attacking NetNia, telling him enough of the war, all my friends or dead. And
you know, this is the first time the reality is hidden in Israel, the way that it wasn't,
you know, happening before. And here is the footage of that.
Before you show that name, and let me just say that, go ahead, Donald.
I was just going to say that I think it's been happening, perhaps to a lesser degree,
but NetNia has been squelching it. It can't get out. Yeah. He has a hammer lock on the media
inside Israel. Go ahead. I'm sorry. Yeah.
I don't know.
Yeah. Is Larry, what do we know about the, what's happening in Israel due to these Iranian
missiles going there? Because all we know, I'll see, you know, I know that the connection in Iran,
they have, they don't have the internet to be connected with the outside, but we see a lot of
footage is coming out of the wall. Well, in the case of Israel, it's the opposite way to,
don't see anything coming out. Yeah. And that's because of the effectiveness of the Iranian
missiles, because if in fact, Israel was shooting down 90% of them, they'd be showing that,
because in Iran, how, how much more can you just rub it in Iran's face? See how much you suck,
see how ineffective you are? Instead, the videos that are getting out show the exact opposite,
that more than 90% of the missiles are getting through. Ted Postal sat down yesterday with Danny
Davis. And, you know, it's a video footage where they're showing this new, it was a core,
core am sure missile that is, they describe it as a cluster munition. I think it's more,
it's, it's murved. It's a multiple independent reentry vehicles or little vehicles. So the war
head detaches about, they describe it as five to seven kilometers above ground. So, you know,
three miles above ground, it detaches and then releases all these other cluster munitions or
bomblets, which each one carries an explosive punch. And then it drops out, it can I, it spreads
out over an area. That, you know, that's pretty remarkable. I did talk with Stanislav Kropivnik
the other day. And so in Russia, they're, they're actually getting access to some social media
that's not available in the West. You know, we, we don't get it here because of the,
the Arden Zionists like Larry Ellison are shutting it down at TikTok. But he said,
Tel Aviv is getting the Gaza treatment. And so that's, that's one of the other reasons you're,
they don't, they don't want the word to get out that that Iran is actually inflicting so
significant damage on Israel. But the difference is, Israel is the tiny place. You know,
Haifa and Tel Aviv's got like 4.1 million people and Haifa's got 1.3 if it's fine. So that means
the other two million are scattered around Jerusalem and in other parts of the country, but he got
about seven million people. So the Iran doesn't have to worry about bombing over thousands of square
miles. Whereas the United States and Israel, yeah, you know, we can show we're pounding the hell
out of Tehran. Okay. Tehran is only three times the size of Ukraine. You know, four times the size
of Iraq. And the reason I raised Ukraine is we've got a four years of, you know, actual footage
of what the Russians have been unleashing in terms of missiles, ballistic missiles, cruise missiles,
glide bombs, drones. And, you know, they've been making progress, but it just, it illustrates
there's no magic bullet that's just going to turn our, you know, Iran's going to stop existing.
And Israel's going to emerge triumph. And ain't going to happen. It's just the opposite. It's
much easier to destroy the infrastructure in a country where all you got to do, they've got two
ports, at least on the Mediterranean, HIFA and Tel Aviv. Once those are shut down, good luck with
the economy. Where are you going to get the food and other things you need to subsist on?
And the third port, Elat, on the Red Sea, it's, or had jumped to the Red Sea and closed by the
U.S. for it. I would also point out that what's happening in European and, in capitals here,
Washington and, and specific, but I saw it in New York Times, too, that is coming out about that
missile that Larry just well described. They're using cluster bombs. That's been, you know,
they're using cluster bombs. So it's nefarious Iranians. They're using cluster bombs. And of course,
it's coming out of Israel, too. Yeah, of course. And there's an international convention that
the U.S. and Israel have not signed. So, yeah, you know, we find them so effective.
Yeah. And, or has Russia. So, you know, this is, this is selective moral outrage.
No, the jobs report, Neema, the jobs worth that comes out and gets amended a month later
when no one's looking. Yeah. And we find out recently that the job who have been going down,
down, down, down. Job creation is not looking very good in this country.

Yeah, Carol, how do you see Europeans getting involved in what's going on? Because you see
France, Germany, United Kingdom, and Italy. Somehow, Canada is so tricky. Every time it comes out
to say something different, and he said, we're not going to be part of it. Then he said,
I'm going to support what is your understanding of these countries?
I think it's a mixed bag. I think you have to look at a particular leader,
and then you have to look at the polls. Like, for example, this business of
France going to Mar-a-Lago to talk to Trump on the personal basis. He's going when 29
by the polls in Britain that I trust, and I'm talking about really Zinglin, but Wales and Scotland
and Northern Ireland too, to a certain extent. But in England, where they have their separate
parliament, and really are to the demise or to the disdain of others like Scotland and Ireland,
are really the big parliament. 29%, that's the support for this war in any fashion or form
by English people. Why are they doing this? They're acting against their own political interests.
Well, they're doing it, I guess. I'll be kind to them and say this special relationship.
Tony Blair like, but Tony Blair had a huge majority in the parliament. Even he feared going back
for that second vote and barely got it on the second Iraq war. But the political situation in
England, great Britain to a certain extent, and Canada, and remember, there's still that
affiliation there, if not anything else, a natural affiliation, is strange, really strange,
and it's similar in other countries in Europe, like Germany, where the population does not in any
way fashion or form in polling, support what's going on with their leadership, and yet their
leadership persists in doing it. This is not politically sustainable, in my view, even in convoluted
democracies like are in Europe now, and it's going to rebound ultimately to what I've said all
along. NATO's done, and the transatlantic link is as fragile as it's been since World War II.
It's not just about NATO, Larry. I think many people are asking themselves, what is happening in
the mind of the Trump administration? I was watching the British media, you know, all these countries,
they don't know what is happening. They don't know what are the objectives of this attack,
and what is the timeline? How long does it take? And here is what Donald Trump said,
considering the reality of what's going on on the battlefield.
It's again calling on all members of the Iranian Revolutionary Guard, the military,
and the police to lay down their arms. They're only going to be killed.
And now is the time to stand up for the Iranian people and help take back your country.
You're going to have a chance, after all these years, to take back your country except
immunity will give you immunity, and will be giving you really the right side of history,
because that's what it is. So you'll be perfectly safe with total immunity, or you'll face
absolutely guaranteed death. And I don't want to see that.
Why would anyone, anyone on earth, trust that man, further than they could spit?
Yeah. Now, the Iran has no reason to trust any promise out of Donald Trump's mouth,
based upon the betrayal on a week ago of February 28th, with Iran was expecting to be
meeting with U.S. diplomats in Geneva on Monday, this past Monday, to negotiate
an end of a potential into this confrontation between the United States and Iran.
Instead, we did a Japanese Pearl Harbor style attack on Iran. But this time, though, Iran was
prepared for it. And Trump, this is in the process of destroying his presidency.
The support for him has dropped dramatically. And the chaos that's unfolding,
but I don't know if you've seen Jimmy Doer put out a great, great video of every time Trump
into campaign in 2024 was talking about not getting involved. In fact, it goes back to 2016,
about the disaster of going to war in Iraq and how we can't do that. We need to stay at home.
And then, counters it with what Trump has been saying over the last three weeks.
And Trump voters are moving on away from him. And it's not just a temporary alienation. It's
permanent. You can't even look at Trump anymore without just being horrified at the embarrassment
he has become, but he's also malicious. And you saw what Tucker Carlson two days ago
put out a very thoughtful video editorial about the disaster going to war in Iran.
And what did Trump do? He comes back and attacks Tucker personally, calling him stupid,
calling him uninformed. And I'm kicking him out of MAGA.
This guy's a child.
Carl, there was a report in the financial times saying that the Arab states are
revising the policy of investing in the United States. Somehow, maybe they want to get
you know, some sort of sovereignty. I don't know if we can call it in terms of their
economy, but there is something going on in the Middle East with Iran going and attacking all
these bases. And they have been left without any sort of defense. And the United States didn't
try to defend them because they were mostly focused on Israel and the attacks on Iran.
And we've learned, on the other hand, that they have contacted, they try to call with
Vladimir Putin. How do you see the whole concept of the American bases in the Middle East?
What's the, and the reality of what's going on?
I see it shifting majorly and objectively against our interests.
At a speed I never thought it would. Other than perhaps something like the Arab Spring that
would have been rather than a failure of success. That is to say, the areas people rose up and
overthrew their autocratic governments. That didn't happen. I think we're not looking
necessarily at that kind of prospect now, but we are as you just intimated, looking at a prospect
of a complete shifting of allegiances. And I wouldn't blame them a bit because as you just reiterated,
we're not doing anything. And it started with Qatar. It started when the Israelis actually attacked
probably with our foreknowledge, if not contemporary knowledge, for sure, an ally.
I think we had just declared them independent of the GCC, a major non-NATO ally, too,
something like that. So that started it for sure. There were already suspicions, I think,
amongst the royals. But that started it really graphically. And now this is just augmented it
majorly. I'd be looking for different places to store my sovereign wealth funds to if I were there.
What is the, in your opinion, what is the biggest question in the mind of these Arab states right now
in terms of their future and how they can, they want to see the reality of the Middle East,
of the West Asia? Like what anybody would want in a relationship with a romantic partner.
You want to know that they're only going to sleep with you. And you also want to know that
when you go to bed at night, they're not going to stab you or cut off some part of your body.
So that's where we are with the United States. There's no trust.
In the past, when the threat of war would break out, there was always a rush to for security because
oh man, the US Treasury, at least our money will be safe there. That whole mindset has changed now,
too. There is no longer trust and confidence in the United States. And if the rumors that
are circulating that between the Saudis, Qataris and the Emirates, that they're going to pull their
money out of, not only out of the United States, but remember, they got, they got suckered into this
board of peace. Well, that board of peace, they're now beyond board, B-O-R-E-D.
So they're going to move on from that. And I think they recognize the future economically
lies with Russia and China, not with the United States.
Let me just add to that a profundity of this, I think. And Larry's absolutely right.
I don't think people will say, well, get rid of Donald Trump. Just let's have a new
administration that will all change back. I don't think so. I don't think so. The damage that
Trump and his minions are doing, both domestically, which unlike most Americans think, really does
get rid pretty closely by a lot of Europeans and others in the world. And overseas now with this
last war, epic fury, is registering all across the globe. And I don't think, and this latest vote
in the Congress, the Somnola cowardly Congress, finally stood up and put forth a piece of legislation
that would have at least slapped the president on the hand for disregarding a constitution
was regard to this war, was defeated not by a Republican magnitude, but by Chuck Schumer,
the leader of the Democratic Party, certainly in the Senate, and I would say in the whole legislature.
The world looks at that. We're not going to recover from this.

mushrooms, large gillic, as you can't have too much room. Garlic pesto, tomato paste,
calabrian chili, season that tastes, order blue apron today.

attack on the Persian Gulf and the American assets was the offices of CIA. How
capable, how successful was that so far? From what we've heard, before all of this happening,
this madness happening, we've learned that Masat has a lot of agents in Iran. Their CIA has
received intelligence from Iran. On the other hand, you see their attacking schools, hospitals,
squares, and stadiums. Someone would ask you, where are all those intelligence if they have some,
but why do they need to do this? They want to make sure that the Iranian soccer team doesn't
compete in the World Cup, so that's why I blow up the stadium. It's not a legitimate military
target. What I find interesting is, if you ask the average American, go to Dubai, go to Doha,
and go to the US Embassy in Saudi Arabia and tell me, where is the CIA station located?
99.9% of Americans here, I don't have a clue. Well, it looks like Iranian intelligence has been
pretty busy and doing pretty good job. They were able to actually send drones to hit specific
spots in the embassy that they knew was linked to the CIA. I think what is the CIA didn't
want to admit it. They're not going to be out talking about it in public, but the fact of the
matter is, it would seem that Iranian intelligence has a pretty good idea of where the CIA personnel
are operating, and that means they know where they are. They got pictures, they're focusing on
who's going in and out. Again, it's just another reminder that the United States likes to pretend
that we're really powerful and all-knowing, but in fact, we are trapped. We're almost held hostage
to our bureaucracy, and that bureaucracy is, you know, just I was asked earlier today about the
intelligence, and why is President Trump not responding to good intelligence? And I remember, you
know, what happened to the head of DIA last, you know, July 1 after DIA had the audacity to come out
and say, no, we did not obliterate the Iranian nuclear program. They dumped that guy. There was
blowback on DIA. In March, we learned that two analysts who worked in the Bureau of Intelligence
Research who had written a dissent in a presidential daily brief, and the dissent was the CIA and
defense intelligence agency were claiming that the Russians weren't serious about the demands they
made for ending the war in Ukraine with a Putin speech specifically from June 14, 2024.
And the state INR analysts said, no, the Russia's dead ass serious about that, and they're not
going to make any concessions. Trump reportedly got enraged, and those analysts were removed.
So when you create an environment like that, who wants to be the guy that comes in that says,
Mr. President, you don't have the military power to defeat Iran. Get rid of him.
So everybody else comes in. They tell the king what he wants to hear. And that's how we get
our ass handed to us. I would just say I think Larry's right. The CIA is blinded by bureaucracy.
Mossad's blinded by bloody binders. Yeah. The two things go hand in hand.
Carl, Dana Bash had a conversation with Donald Trump, Dana Bash of CNN.
And she said that Donald Trump, it seems to me that Donald Trump from what she said,
Donald Trump is somehow delusional that success he had in Venezuela by changing the government
is going to continue with the case of Iran. And here is what Dana Bash supported.
I do want to tell you one other important thing that he discussed with me. It was about a
five-minute discussion. And that is who the next leader of Iran will be. You know, he told our
colleague, a Barack Reved yesterday, that he had like three people in mind, and that he wants to
pick the person. And I asked him about that. And so how's that going to work? And he said,
it's going to work very easily. It's going to work like it did in Venezuela. We have a wonderful
leader there. She's doing a fantastic job. It isn't going to work like that. And I said,
okay, but are you okay with having a religious leader again? A different Iatola? And he said,
well, maybe, yeah, I mean, it depends on who the person is. I don't mind religious leaders.
I deal with a lot of religious leaders and they're fantastic. And then he went on to say,
I'm saying there has to be a leader that's going to be fair and just. Do a great job.
Treat the United States and Israel well and treat other countries in the Middle East.
They're all our partners. He's searching for impossible. He's searching. And he's talking the way
that he's talking about how capable he is to do that. It's unbelievable to me. How can someone go
that for delusional? Well, look, what happened in Venezuela. And I know this. This is not an
opinion. I'm not. I know this to be a fact. There were three insiders within the Maduro
Circle security personnel that betrayed him for the $50 million reward. There were a couple
of Americans involved in the contact within the broker, the contact that would also get a,
they were also inspired, motivated by the money. This was a complete sellout. The real news is,
and maybe a reporter will break this in the next week or so. Trump wells on the reward.
The people who thought they were going to get the reward, they've been stiffed. So, yeah, no,
look, Trump is just, he's out of touch with reality. And he believes his own nonsense. This is,
this is where we get back to talking about confabulation. Where you say things that you really
believe are true, even though they're not. And it's one of the, it's one of the early signs of
dementia. There are, there are reports out there too. Perhaps Larry can confirm or deny this,
that there were three individuals. That number was right, I think, that were sort of hand picked
and we killed them. Yeah, no, I haven't heard that. They're still alive.
Oh, are they? Yeah. Yeah. They want their money, you know. No, no, I don't mean in Venezuela.
I mean in Iran. Oh, in Iran? Yeah. There were three people we had our eyes on and apparently
had contact with that were maybe perhaps leaders in the clearly nascent democracy movement in Iran.
And we killed them in Iran. Yeah. But yeah, we are bombing the neighborhood in northern Tehran,
which has been the neighborhood where a lot of the anti regime resistance people live. I know,
you can't make this stuff up. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I'm going to have to go out. Thank you. Thank
you so much, YouTube for being with us today. Great pleasure. Okay. Hey, would I see you next.
Let's improve that that shirt there. Okay. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I'm just going to get warm here. So
I'll join you again. All right, guys. Bye. Bye. Bye.
