The Larry Cuglow Show on the Red Apple podcast network.

Welcome back folks. We continue our discussions on the Iranian War and the incredible

importance of the success by President Trump and our allies in Israel. We welcome back to the show,

dear friend, Ambassador Robert O'Brien, former national security adviser, and currently chairman

of American Global Strategies. Robert, thank you for doing this once again. You've been so

helpful on the TV show and here on the radio. So, talking to General Kean, and of course,

listening to President Trump talk about unconditional surrender. There's another bombing mission,

big bombing mission brewing with American planes parked in our bases in England, but essentially

Iran is defenseless, as I understand it. They are simply defenseless here. So,

you know, how long can this continue before they take Trump's advice and lay down their arms,

or just the regime will all be completely killed? Is there an end game here that we should envision?

Well, Larry, thank you for having me on. I think the important things for us to realize here is

it's not going to be an overnight situation. This regime is radical regime. They're extremists,

they are committed to their cause. They will lose. They're losing now big time,

and the face of an act regime like it's in Japan at the end in 1944-45,

they clearly lost the war, but it took the, you know, the Hiroshima Naira Sakis,

the emperor to lay down his arms. I'm not in any way suggesting that there's a nuclear option

here. I think that's the reason we're fighting the wars to avoid a nuclear situation,

but it's going to take some time and effort to convince these extremists to lay down their arms.

Now, one thing President Trump is not going to do is say, I don't think he's going to put a large

ground force on, so the attempt to win a war with the naval and the air bombardment

it just takes longer, and so if we've got to be patient, we are going to win. They are

defenseless, and these extremists are going to have to come to the conclusion that there's no other,

they're all kind of been laying their arms. That will happen, it just might take a little

bit of time. One other thing that Jack Hain mentioned, I thought it was very interesting is

Israel is kind of cleaning out all these local militias, you know, who are appendages to the

revolutionary guards and their headquarters in Iran, which I mean, Command Control is getting

slaughtered right now, but the pockets of militias around there, I think he said there are 32

locations, but one of the things that Israel is doing is cleaning them out, going right for them,

so it's going to make, you know, some regime change easier. I had thought about that, Robert O'Brien.

Yeah, it's a brilliant strategy, buddy, as well. These reds are doing what they did in Gaza,

they're targeting the leadership at the, you know, the local, and then for a day level,

at the local level. There are sending text messages to the Iranian people who let them know what,

you know, what they're going to hit, and when they're going to hit to a point 2 million casualties,

and avoid a backlash, and rather run the flag, you know, response in Iran, but think about it,

Larry, every police station in every city in Iran is a risk from Israeli attack.

So these, these, you know, prevention vices and promotion of virtue police, the badgy,

the guard, all the local gathering spots are there, you know, water and holes,

every one of them is arrested from this Israeli attack. And so that, that, that, that will help

act like this, you know, the surrender that President has called for.

Well, that's the thing. I mean, do you think, I mean, what are the odds and what's the timing?

Do you think they'll actually lay down their arms as the President Trump is requesting,

in order to get immunity? I mean, when he said unconditional surrender, I mean, I like that,

I think that's great. Basically, you say to them, this, or this don't, you know, you've got two

options here. You're going to get, you're going to get killed, or you're going to lay down your arms

and get some kind of immunity. There's no deal making left in this, in this war. So I mean,

that's a morale buster, I would guess. I mean, if I, that should shake them up, but I don't know

what, how these people are crazy. So it's hard for me to get in their heads.

Well, I think you're right, Larry, 100%. And I think as we in these reds continue to take up

the commanding control of the national leadership in Iran and to grade them in the local leaders

who are going to be faced with the people and the uprising. And they know if they don't lay down

their weapons and ask for immunity now from the U.S. and protection from the U.S.,

the local Iranians who they've been killing by massive amounts. I mean, they killed 40,000

people just a couple weeks ago. They're going to want revenge. And so, you know, I think once we

take up the national leadership, the moral state and local leadership, so to speak is going to want

make peace with their neighbors and not be killed. So, you know, I think we've got a couple more

weeks and people need to be patient. And we need to continue to degrade the national leadership,

to degrade their capabilities that we've degraded their capabilities that defend the

interests. Now we use it to degrade their capabilities to defend against their own people.

OPEC. What is it? The development finance corpse going to, you know,

reinsure the oil tankers. I think this is very cool. And the Navy can help get them through. Robert,

I'm just, this is something from the show yesterday with the Bessenton. I talked about it this morning.

I'd like to see a whole string of, um, you know, super tankers go through the straight of hormones.

You know, with Navy, you know, fine, but they're being reinsured now by this development finance

corporation from our government. Show the world that oil can pass through. And I think it would

take the heat off the oil prices. No, wait. Well, the other effect will have it. It may

be insurance market, you know, Lloyd's has traditionally done that, but the British Navy is no longer

in a position to, you know, help, help shipping and, and I'll be a part of the Lloyd's.

So if we start doing this as a DFC and American companies, we'll, you know, move the major

financial market to New York or Washington DC. And that would be great for the economy as well.

So, you know, we'll have to see how that plays out. But the key is making sure that the tankers,

many of which are going to China actually pay, you know, we don't want to do the service for China

for free and move their oil. And, uh, good point to make sure that they actually pay their premiums.

But if they pay their premiums and, uh, you know, we're making money off it in the US, maybe

should have scored the ships. And I think they'll be able to do so without too much problem because

the Iranian plan to close the sort of homelessness is the Iranian Navy and IRGC speedboats to plant

mines. Any of you use their aircraft to plant mines, but they they've got no aircraft left and

they've got no Navy. So their ability to close the straighter homeowners is going to be very limited.

Yeah, I mean, I'm getting excited about that, but you're right about China. No more discounts,

right? If you're going to play, you're going to pay market value, whatever that happens to be.

Yeah, we're not going to escort ghost fleet ships, you know, to take sanctioned, sanctioned

busting oil. We're going to escort, you know, Chevon and Aramco and, you know, legitimate companies

that are selling oil at market prices and, uh, and the Chinese will have to pay the premiums to

the DFC for their insurance. And if that all happens, and that's great. Let's, you know, keep the

international flow of oil going. Love that. Thank you, Ambassador Robert O'Brien, dear friend,

former national security advisor now, the chairman of American Global Strategies. I'm Cudlow.

So, uh, former Israeli intelligence and security expert Aaron Cohn coming up next here,

please stick around, folks, much more. The Larry Cudlow show on the Red Apple podcast network.
