Speaker 1

Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio, the George Washington Broadcast Center, Jack Armstrong and Joe Getty.

Speaker 2

Arm Strong and Jackie and now he Armstrong and Getty.

Speaker 3

I am saying this because I'm really afraid that my country's going to be further weakened by this. I think we're going to see the end of American empire. Obviously other nations would like to see that, and this is a perfect way to scuttle the USS America on the shoals of Iran, but it's also going to end, I believe, Trump's presidency and effectively end it.

Speaker 4

Trump responded to Tucker Carlson, call him kooky, and nobody knows what he said, get a TV show. I think he said Tucker has got way bigger following than if he had a TV show. Actually, so if he had a TV show, it would be very popular and he would have his following online, so he would be bigger maybe, But he's better. He's bigger than any of the current TV shows out there.

Speaker 2

He just is. It's just statistically true.

Speaker 4

So this segment, we're going to really get into the whole various shades of MAGA and that whole thing, And is Trump betraying America first by wanting to go to war with Iran, which he seems to be hell bent on, And I'm I think he's right. And for instance, here's Tulcy Gabbard in a hearing a little while back saying Iran's not going to get a bomb.

Speaker 1

The ICY continues to assess that Iran is not building a nuclear weapon, and Supreme Leader Kamani has not authorized the nuclear weapons program that he suspended in two thousand and three. The ICY continues to monitor closely if Tehran decides to reauthorize its nuclear weapons program.

Speaker 4

So I see the international community, that intelligence community, intelligence community. Okay, yeah, I don't think that's right. But anyway, here Trump was asking about delusion. Yeah, here's Trump responding to his DNI, the Director of National Intelligence, she has access to everything, saying Iran's not about to get a bomb.

Speaker 2

Here's what Trump says about that. How close do you personally think that they were to get it on?

Speaker 5

Because Tulsa Gartt testified at March the intelligence community said Ran wasn't going into pure beverage.

Speaker 2

What she said, I think they.

Speaker 4

Trump says, I don't care what she said when she testified that Iran's not closing to getting above Trump decided.

Speaker 2

I think they're very close to having one.

Speaker 4

He said, yeah, So he's speaking about the intelligence around the most important issue right now, in the biggest decision of his entire presidency. The first person you would go to would be the DNIS. Like I said, they have access to all of it in all the different departments.

And he says, I don't care what she said because she's wrong, right, He's basically just saying, I mean he's he's basically saying, she's part of that non interventionists don't ever attack anybody crowd that I kind of catered to.

Speaker 5

But in this case, I don't believe is right. She cannot be in her job a week from now.

Speaker 4

But just to make it more complicated, I would agree to make it more complicated. You got John Fetterman, Democratic Senator, arguing that supporting Israel and taking down the regime in Iran will be the key to lasting piece in Middle East.

Speaker 2

He's pro regime change, not just.

Speaker 4

Bombing, but regime change, which of course is a dirty phrase for a lot of people after.

Speaker 2

Iraq, which I saw somebody point out earlier.

Speaker 4

You have a whole bunch of hosts on cable news who are four years old when the regime change in Iraq has because that was twenty three years ago, twenty two years ago. So if you're twenty eight, you were five when that happens. On it's say, it's history to you.

Another interesting wrinkle from Who's Where on Politics and Weird Bedfellows Josh Rogan, who we generally really like, although I don't agree with everything he said a lot from The Washington Post said, if Trump attacks Iran based on a flimsy claim of preemption, what after running on a foreign policy criticizing Bush for attacking a raq on a flimsy claim of preemption, he either has no core principles or has no clue what he's doing, or both scary times, How is it think comparing.

Speaker 2

Those two is? It's a canard, It's not accurate.

Speaker 4

How the hell is it a flimsy claim of preemption when the IAEA and everybody has been reporting that they're very close to getting a.

Speaker 5

Bomb, When both the Ayatola and the chief negotiator of Haran said one thing we're not going to give up is enrichment. You don't enrich uranium to get the light bulbs to light up and have civilian electricity.

Speaker 2

You do it to build a nuclear weapon. Period. Yeah.

Speaker 5

I don't know if Josh is off his rock or what, but I completely disagree with him on this.

Speaker 2

I will concede this point.

Speaker 5

And it's a the idea that this could lead to regime change in Iran than what?

Speaker 2

Then?

Speaker 5

What is a penny door's box of Middle East style? God help us?

Speaker 2

Do we have to? Well, Iran can't have the bomb.

Speaker 4

No, that's the bottom line, and that's what makes the decision easier. No matter what happens, there's nothing that is worse than letting them get a nuclear weapon, is there?

Speaker 2

Well, that's the question I think. I don't think it's possible.

Speaker 4

I can't even imagine a scenario that would be worse than Iran getting the bomb.

Speaker 2

Tucker Carlson disagrees with you.

Speaker 4

Even if it devolved into full Iraq chaos, which I seems incredibly unlikely to me, that would be better, wouldn't it than Iran getting a nuclear weapon?

Speaker 5

Depends who ends up in charge. You know what happens five ten years down the line. But no, I agree with you. It's not an open and shutcase. But I agree. A couple of notes very quickly from the online world. First of all, I came across this the great David Berg, Iowahawk blogger. The worst consequence of the Internet is the almost universal delusion that your opinions are shared by the majority.

Once again, the worst consequence of the Internet is an almost universal delusion that your opinions are shared.

Speaker 2

By the majority.

Speaker 5

It's even worse than that, though, David, It's that my opinions are shared by enough people that they're right anyway, He says. The countdown of the top four sufferers of acute delusions of popularity Number four, transactivists number three true uh yeah, no kidding, and then the stupid idiot corporations that believe that well they had the media in education too anyway. Moving along, Number three Neo Nazi podcast bros. Number two campus garbage babies.

Speaker 2

What's a garbage baby?

Speaker 5

It's your It's I don't know, it's your campus cafea wearing dopes.

Speaker 2

Number one Caitlin Clark haters.

Speaker 5

An He mentions, there's this weird cult of paleo WNBA fans who are literally trying to organize a boycott for people to not watch games featuring Caitlin Clark.

Speaker 2

Good luck with that.

Speaker 5

That is the reason I bring that up is that's a pretty good encapsulation of the Internet. It's an echo chamber for everyone, no matter how stupid their opinions.

Speaker 2

And the algorithms.

Speaker 4

Algorithms are built to feed you people that agree with you, to help reinforce it.

Speaker 5

The whole for you, you know, section at Twitter for instance. So anyway, as Maga America is at each other's throats over the whole helping Israel thing.

Speaker 4

Jacob, I gotta jump in on that because you just said this drives me crazy. This is just the way politics works. But you always claim that the other side is doing something unique to them and it doesn't happen with you. I watch MSNBC and CNNA fair amount lots of discussion about the civil war within the Republican Party and how was a problem from the get go that the magamum Maga movement is a coalition of different groups that don't agree and it's coming apart and blah blah blah.

Are you gonna tell me the Democratic Party hasn't been a coalition of groups that don't agree forever.

Speaker 2

Right, give me a break.

Speaker 5

Virtually every political party, every political party, yes, but the Democrats especially. Oh yeah, yeah, what a trans people have to do with militant Muslims in Hamtramck, Michigan, for instance, church going boy in the same party. That's what they have in common. Yeah, church go will go ahead and finish that up.

Speaker 4

Church going black women who are the least likely to support any of this trans stuff, or even gay marriage for that matter.

Speaker 2

With all the other people with queers for Palestine, Yes, in the same political party.

Speaker 4

Right, okay, Union leaders who had to hate illegal immigration.

Speaker 5

I mean, there's all kinds of examples, so really interesting study of how this works. Jade Vance is just tweeted, Look, I'm seeing this from the inside and admittedly biased towards our president and my friend, but there's a lot of crazy stuff on social media, so I want to address some things directly on the Iran issue. Then he gets into the whole enrichment thing and he says is he said repeatedly this would happen one of two ways they

can't have I'm sorry. First, Potus has been amazingly consistent over ten years that Iran cannot have a nuclear weapon. Over the last few months, he encouraged his foreign policy team to reach a deal with the Uranians to accomplish this goal. The President has made clear that Iran cannot have uranium enrichment, and he said repeatedly that this would happen one of two ways, the easy way or the other way. And then he gets into the whole enrichment question,

which we've already dealt with. It's one thing to want civilian energy. It's another thing to demand sophisticated enrichment capability. It's still another thing to cling to enrichment while simultaneously violating basic non proliferation obligations and enriching right to the point of weapons grade uranium. Josh Rogan, I've yet to see a single good argument for why Iran needs to enrich uranium well above the threshold for civilian use. I've yet to see a single good argument for why Iran

was justified in violating his non proliferation obligations. I've yet to see a single good pushback against the IAEA's findings. Meanwhile, the President has shown remarkable restraint in keeping our militaries focused on protecting our troops and protecting our citizens. He may decide he needs to take further action and Iranian enrichment.

That decision belongs to the president. And of course people are right to be worried about foreign entanglements after the last twenty five years of idiotic foreign policy tippiness.

Speaker 2

Gap toward that crowd, which.

Speaker 5

Is fine, it's a good point, But I believe the president has earned some trust on this issue. Having seen this up close and personal, I can assure you that he is only interested in using the American military to accomplish the American people's goals.

Speaker 2

Whatever he does, that is his focus. And so that is interesting.

Speaker 5

But the reaction, including some pretty significant accounts.

Speaker 2

One guy says, yeah, it makes sense to me. Death to America. He can't get away with it. Then this other.

Speaker 5

Blue check mark Twitter account, he has a bunch of tweets over the ears from Trump's from Trump in order to get elected, Barack Obama will start a war with Iran. Barack Obama will attack Iran in order to get reelected. A year later, I've predicted President Obama will at some point attack Iran in order to save face.

Speaker 2

There's a list of them that he shows.

Speaker 5

That's interesting, nice words, but it's still another war in the Middle East provoked by the Israelis.

Speaker 2

That will suck up a lot of resources.

Speaker 5

People are just tired of seeing Israel first, not America first.

Speaker 2

Oh my god.

Speaker 4

So that other stuff about how he criticized Obama or Bush forgetting US involved in wars, Okay, fine, leave that to political historians or something. Let's get back to the bottom line we started with. Iran can't have a nuclear weapon. I don't care who said whatever, doesn't make any difference. Iran can't have a nuclear weapon. Now the President coming out yesterday and saying, look, I invented America first, I get to define it. It is America first to stop

around from getting a nuclear weapon. I Jack Armstrong agree with that position.

Speaker 2

JD.

Speaker 4

Van and he doesn't need ever run again. So you know, if he loses a chunk of people whatever JD. Vance is in a different situation, he can't lose that hole. We don't get involved in war'st crowd if he's going to run for president in a couple of years.

Speaker 2

Right.

Speaker 5

Interesting, The only pushback to JD that I've seen on the IAEA thing saying that Iran is clearly trying as fast as they can to get a nuke that's the fing UN's conclusion. So JD says, I haven't seen a single good pushback, and somebody says it was contrary to what our own DNI says. Can you help clarify? Well, right, yeah, Telsey Gabbard in March test. If I know they're not, she's going to be gone by the end of the week.

Speaker 4

So you take the word of Telsey Gabbard over the president. I do know from that crowd though, because I know a couple of people personally that a part of the you know, maybe some of you, the Tucker, Candice Owens, whatever crowd, Alex Jones, which we're about to talk about.

Speaker 2

They think I've had a person tell me this to my face.

Speaker 4

It proves that Trump is on the Epstein list and they have information about him that he has now flipped and had to go the other direction.

Speaker 5

Okay, I don't even have time to refute that because the people that hold the cards on the whole Epstein thing have him dangling at the end of their puppet strings. You are being manipulated by people who are smarter than you, that know how to trip your trigger.

Speaker 2

Sorry, I know that's hurtful.

Speaker 5

It's much easier to fools people than to convince them they're being fooled, but they.

Speaker 4

Are anyway going to get to some text four one, five, two nine five k FTC you today with a decent chance of drones driving. That's the Iranian NewsCap series.

Speaker 2

In the middle of her uh.

Speaker 4

Her report on the latest stoning at the soccer stadium or whatever she was doing the Iranian news and the drone hit from a Iran from Israel.

Speaker 5

I'm enjoying some of the memes. It sounded like angry ranting about how you will now we all not bow to you. Alla will protect us, No bomb will reach us.

Speaker 2

Kerbloey.

Speaker 4

So we got a number of texts very interesting on this topic of going to war with Iran or not. I taken a decent amount of Candace Owens and Joe Rogan and they are not saying Trump is doing this due to the Epstein list. I just said, I know two people that follow that world of Candas Owans and Tucker Carlson and they and they have said that. But it's interesting to me that this person lumps Candas Owens and Joe Rogan together. I don't see that at all.

Joe Rogan has those people on. But I've never got the sense that he believes everything they say. Another text, After trillion's and dollar dollars and thousands of lives wasted over the years in Iraq and Afghanistan, you're really this hung gung ho about the US jumping into the fray and doing a repeat in Iran a repeat. The repeat would be there were no weapons of mass destruction. So you think there are no there's no nuclear program or I don't know.

Speaker 5

And you think Donald Trump's going to try to install a Jeffersonian democracy in Iraq, like George w did, No. I reject your premise. It's a dumb question.

Speaker 4

Next, Alex Jones just tweeted out a picture of him and Tucker as he was on Tucker's show. I am proud that Tucker Carlson is standing his ground against the psychotic, warmongering neo cons that have brought the world to the verge of thermo nuclear armageddon.

Speaker 5

By preventing Iran from having a new exactly.

Speaker 4

So, yes, we're bringing the world to the edge of a nuclear war the country that doesn't have nukes because we're stopping them from getting news.

Speaker 5

Exactly is that they've been making that plea about Russia and Ukraine too.

Speaker 4

Right, and Russia does have nukes obviously, does Alex Jones and Tucker Carlson do they believe that? Do they believe things would be fine if you let a Ran get a nuclear weapon?

Speaker 2

I really don't know.

Speaker 5

Alex Jones, in his famous lawsuit his trial, had to admit that, look, I say all sorts of stuff. I don't believe that's true. He did say that, right. Wow, it's like I'm playing a character. Yeah, I'm playing a character. I'm pandering to a certain set of people who want to believe certain things. So I tell them what they want to believe, and I sell enormous amounts of you know, subscriptions and advertising in the rest of that to them. Now again, as I said the other hour, I guess

there are some people. I think our ninety percent grifter and ten percent sincere, there's someho or the other, or even one hundred percent since here.

Speaker 2

They're just misguided and wrong. Wow.

Speaker 4

It'd be interesting to see how this plays out over the next couple of days, because it's coming.

Speaker 2

It's gonna happen, Armstrong and Getty.

Speaker 6

Given the fact that Israel and Iran you're engaged in a very active conflict right now in the short term, How do you declare victory? What is or defined victory? What is your definition of victory?

Speaker 4

Right now?

Speaker 7

The ability to destroy Israel through nuclear weapons and ballistic missiles is eliminator.

Speaker 2

That's the victory. That's our victory.

Speaker 7

And if the people in Iran then choose a different government, it's going to be great for the entire Middle East and really for the world, because the people of the Middle East want normalization with Israel and Israel wants nothing more than normalization with its neighborhood.

Speaker 2

That's an open question.

Speaker 4

I think we went through the air spring just because the regime has changed. The one that replaces it might not be better for the world, So you can't state that openly. But the idea that this ends when they no longer can have a nuke that makes good sense to me.

Speaker 5

Yeah, yeah, your whole regime change statement is absolutely true because we have made that statement to in reference to you know, people who think you can like boot out to the United States government or something and it'll become this paradise or that paradise Marxist or whatever. Now, the history of that sort of thing is bad. You destabilize things, and the power vacuum can suck something even worse into the seats of power, over and over again.

Speaker 4

See France from seventeen eighty nine until Napoleon arrived.

Speaker 5

And so the guy who asked is somewhat bligerent question before the break that I answered rudely and dismissively. I'm sure he's thinking, well, wait a minute, you're making my point for me. Would you like to reset that briefly?

Speaker 2

Do you remember it was about I don't remember.

Speaker 5

Oh, the guy said, oh, so you wanna you want to do another iraq? Hey, you want to get sucked into another you know, quagmire of a just replicate a rock and uh And I wish you had that in front of you, because it was asked in the typical online belligerent This is simple and if you don't get this your stupid way, which is why I responded in

a yeah, you're stupid way. If I were to ask that question more uh, reasonably and intelligently, it would be Dudes, in what ways do you believe this is a different situation than the weapons of mass destruction in a rock or given the experience of a rock how can you advocate for attacking Iran?

Speaker 2

This seems similar.

Speaker 5

Now, that's the way like a civilized human would ask the question, and here's the response, and it's it's book length. So I'll summarize. The One thing about the Iraq experience is there are mistakes made so monumentally stupid it's difficult to believe they happened.

Speaker 4

Starting with, they had like three months of funding planned for the war after Sadom was booted out, like it'll be over, everything will be fine, and we'll just leave.

Speaker 2

Yeah, you've got George W. Bush.

Speaker 5

And and you know, if I had to leave my life, my fortune, my children in the hands of one man, George W. Bush or Donald Trump, it would well, if it was my fortune, it'd probably be Trump. But in terms of being a good, decent, moral human being, I think George Bush wins by a mile sure, which led him down the garden path.

Speaker 2

He had this.

Speaker 5

Unbelievably silly idea that the people of the Middle East, including fundamentalist Muslims, just couldn't wait for Jeffersonian democracy.

Speaker 4

Well, and you know Dick Cheney famously saying I think will be greeted by liberators. Well, I think we were liberators. Yeah, but immediately they all, Okay, who's in charge. Now I'm in charge and no, no, no, you're not. I'm in charge. And that happened, like it always happens. Somebody's going to be in charge, and if you don't agree, sometimes you got a war over it.

Speaker 2

It's called the Civil war.

Speaker 5

Well, and the de bathification of the government of Iraq was one of the most monumentally stupid moves that's ever been made in world history. They essentially said, well, if you're a member of the Bath Party, which is Saddam's party, then you can't be part of the government. Well, that was the entire government, from the people who like handed out paychecks to civil servants, to the army generals, to the school lunch program people. They were all in the

Bath part. It was a single party efing government. It's such a to dismantle that and say all right, let's restart now, except this Sar decision.

Speaker 4

It's such a crapshoot and so complicated. The Soviet Union falling. It seems like if you ran that experiment a thousand times you would get the peaceful result we ended up with. Once where the Soviet Union fell, and it didn't fall into the hands of crazy oligarchs going to war with each other and some of them had nukes or.

Speaker 5

All kinds of different things that could happened, but it didn't. Yeah, that that's a separate discussion for another day. But it's crazy interesting.

Speaker 4

I'm just thinking about ill Ran if this, if this regime falls, is it going to be Is it gonna be like the Soviet Union where somebody steps in that everybody recognizes, Okay, you're the leader, and law and order in the streets continues, et cetera.

Speaker 2

Or is it going to be more like a rack.

Speaker 5

Well, it's got to be approached with brutal realism, friends, that's what's going to make it different, aside from some of the particulars that are different, but it's got to be brutal realism. You let anybody who's part of the government structure that makes the country run that says, hey, I'm glad those mullas are gone. I'm gonna keep doing my job and showing up. That's number one. You keep the country functioning in a way that doesn't create an

enormous power vacuum in the streets. Secondly, you recognize Concentrated enthusiasm is often how one group gets to power over another one, and in the Middle East it's the fundamentalist Muslim lunatics who usually have that concentrated enthusiasm, like, oh.

Speaker 2

What's his name? Al Baker or fat You remember fat Head in Iran?

Speaker 5

What was his name? I can't remember, It'll pop into my head. She leader, He had very close ties to Iran, the guy in Irakaman. Anyway, you've got to be brutally realistic that those people are gonna come gun and for power, and you have to have a plan to suppress them. I remember being fed the line, and I think inside the White House the actual Neokans believed this Iraq is really a secular society. I mean people, I mean people are sites and Sunni's like you're a Baptist and I'm

a Lutheran. Well that was because Saddam repressed them like crazy. And now those lessons having been learned, you know, whether Trump and the Israelis and the Gulf States just.

Speaker 2

Somebody has got.

Speaker 5

To approach it in a realistic way and not make the horrific mistakes of Iraq.

Speaker 4

Even if you took a religion out of it, which is a hell of an even if since it's a theocracy for the last forty some years, Even if you took that out of it. Though, whoever's in charge of the army might decide I want to be the leader, and the person who's in charge of the Revolutionary Guard might say, no, you're not, I'm going to and they go to war like you've hardly ever seen before for the next ten years, trying to decide who's going to run the place.

Speaker 2

That's absolutely true.

Speaker 5

And then, you know you, folks, we historians are going to say, would we better have been better off just letting Iran have the new No, I don't think so. Having to sign agreements non aggression packs like the other nuclear powers on Earth an uneasy relationship, but blah, blah blah, the difference being that the Mullas mean what they say. A lot of those people are actual religious fanatics.

Speaker 4

But the classic Caesar crossing the Rubicon moment was he decided to take his army after whoop an ass all over the place. You know what, I'm going to run the Roman Empire and crossed the river headed back into the country and everybody knew, okay, it's on. He ended up winning. But yeah, sometimes the generals decide they want to be in charge.

Speaker 5

Yeah, well, I suspect that that's what will happen, So it would be a fair question. Then if our questioner were to follow up, he'd say, all right, so how do you see the post regime change Iran taking shape? That isn't way worse for humanity than if they got the nuke.

Speaker 2

It's a great question. It's impossible to answer.

Speaker 5

I mean, I could spin you out a scenario, but it's unlikely to happen.

Speaker 2

Yeah.

Speaker 5

It is a classic example of being caught between a rock and a hard place, having two absolutely awful alternatives. There's a certain school of thought you run into a lot, especially online, that likes to pretend not making a decision is not a decision in and of itself, that if you don't make.

Speaker 2

It, that Obama's really right? Is Obama? Don't do stupid s? Was their motto?

Speaker 4

Okay, well, not doing stupid s allows Russia to just keep gobbling up land.

Speaker 5

For instance, the late great Neil peart, if you decide to this is well, if you don't make a decision, you've still made a choice. And there is a belief I think that if you just don't act, everything's frozen in amber, and that the status quo continues.

Speaker 2

It's it's not.

Speaker 4

True, no, no, in your child rearing, marriage, career, whatever it is.

Speaker 2

Yeah, two miserable options. Pick one. That's life.

Speaker 4

I think Mark Alpern wrote this today. I think we agree that the most likely scenario is the United States is going to help Israel here in the next forty eight to seventy two hours bomb the but Jesus out of Fordoh to the point that it can't make a nuclear weapon, and and we're gonna we're going to help in that.

Speaker 2

Now. I assume at that point we're done.

Speaker 5

Yeah, there will be diplomacy and aid and that sort of thing, and pulling of strings behind the scenes, trying to either get a more friendly regime in place, or just saying, all right, mullas, if you can still run, if your people will still let you run the place, go ahead and run the place. Just remember what happened. If you try to get a nuke again, it's gonna happen again. You want to keep to yourself and like revive your economy and be reasonably friendly to the nations

around you, Go ahead, knock yourself out. Don't try to get a new kigin.

Speaker 4

I'm trying to be open minded for the other side because I'm pretty hard shore. I think this is a good idea. You know, nobody saw what was coming in Iraq in that Isis was gonna get created and become a thing. Maybe there's some sheite version of that that comes out of Iran when you unleash the dogs of war that nobody could possibly imagine with a year's long insurgency of a deaf Cultis sheeite version of this?

Speaker 2

Who knows?

Speaker 5

Not impossible. Nope, I didn't see ices coming to anybody else. Don't disband the army that would.

Speaker 4

Help let them go to work. And she said it'd be better than isis anyway, we will finish strong next. You can always text on this topic. This is a thorny one.

Speaker 2

This is a big deal. This is I do.

Speaker 4

I absolutely agree with the idea that this is the biggest decision of Trump's life that he's going to be making, depending on how it plays out. Our text line is four one five two nine KFTC.

Speaker 8

A man was recently arrested at a Florida strip club after he allegedly called nine one one from a private room to complain that he had to pay three hundred dollars but the dancer refused to have sex with them.

Speaker 2

Of course, it's still Florida.

Speaker 8

Nine one one, so I'm sure they were like, try five hundred.

Speaker 4

So God, it's hard to not continue on this same theme. We don't usually cover one topic this much, but this is new. President Trump just tweeted out he actually did a different whatever I'm gonna call everything a tweet that comes out like this fine.

Speaker 2

Donald Trump said.

Speaker 4

We now have complete and total control over the skies over Iran. I read that and said to Joe, I think the key word there is we. So somebody apparently thought the we stuck out. Also, he didn't say Israel has complete control over the skies over ran, so somebody asked, According to a White House official, though we that President Trump is referring to here is the United States, not Israel.

Speaker 2

HM.

Speaker 4

So so Trump meant to say, we, the United States now have complete control over the skies of Iran.

Speaker 5

Therefore, we are willing to send in our b twos with the moab bombs. I got is the unspoken end of that sentence. I guess, so my final thought on the previous discussion is that there's got to be something transitional if indeed the current regime falls, and you've got to it's got to be a temporary quote unquote military dictatorship with people we can work with. We assure there's security, tell them you just keep stability, don't try to go

for a bomb. We'll make sure none of the Arab states decide they want snatch up your oil refineries or whatever. And you go forward from there. It's a likely choice, but it's a good one. Greed heads because the military Iran is a bunch of greed heads. They make tons of money. They have a like a societal hold on big chunks of the economy.

Speaker 2

There are number of countries that are like that. It's very typical.

Speaker 5

But you deal with the greed heads, not the religious fanatics. The greed heads you know how to deal with.

Speaker 4
