3:03The Team 47 podcast is brought to you by Cozy Earth.

3:08Comfort, style, and quality you can count on.

3:10Cozy Earth. Team 47 with Clay and Buck starts now.

3:19Mark Wayne Mullen will be the next VHS secretary, which we believe he will be,

3:23is currently underway in earnest.

3:24Can I just be clear, though?

3:25It's really important. This is a really important job.

3:29So, and unfortunately, this was, this is among, a lot of you would say the

3:35way the Epstein files were handled.

3:36The Epstein files have now come out as far as I understand it.

3:39There was mishandling of that, too.

3:41For me, I think the leadership of DHS may be the single biggest whiff of

3:47the first 12 months. Because, guys, Minneapolis, we pull back.

3:52Minneapolis is now all you're hearing about from these Democrats.

3:55And this is what, you know, the whole thing, it was a big, it was

3:58a blunder. It was a blunder from the people running that, running that shop.

4:01And we need new leadership, Clay, that gets the job done.

4:04Is there a more important thing than deportation, securing the border, and changing the trajectory

4:09of illegal immigration in this country?

4:11I don't think so. I don't think there is something that's more important as a

4:15Trump agenda item than that.

4:17Yeah. So, I'm pretty frustrated with how it's gone up to this point.

4:20The border securing, amazing. That was something that we got done the first 90 days.

4:27So, if we want to talk things that are alarming, there are a lot of

4:31them out there. What I would say is particularly alarming to me is we're now

4:37into mid to late March.

4:38Soon, we will be into early summer, and Congress will just shut down for the

4:45campaign season. And if Republicans don't retain the House and or the Senate, then we're

4:54in significant, just basically, gridlock for the next two years.

4:59Nothing is going to happen.

5:01So, if Republicans don't get through things now, then basically, I'm just being honest with

5:09you all, nothing is going to happen for two years.

5:11The 2028 election starts in December, my friends.

5:16Yes. Think about that. The 2028 election begins at the end of this year.

5:22So, this is really important.

5:24It is time -sensitive. uh the agenda and people are like we got a vip

5:28email from matthew please ask senator paul what are you doing to get the save

5:31act passed we'll ask him it's not going to pass that's it there's no there's

5:38because the way that it has to get passed is they get rid of the

5:40filibuster they're not willing to do that it's not going to pass i mean i

5:44can sit here and complain about it and we have but we're not senators we're

5:48certainly not 60 senators yeah and and i think that just ties in with what

5:53are they going to do we know what democrats are going to do if they

5:55win the house i was looking today on polymarket fuck there's a 70 chance trump

6:01is going to be impeached again if democrats win the house in lockstep they are

6:07going to go impeach president trump and we're going to have the multi -month charade

6:11and you may say well this is a total joke and it is and we

6:14agree with you but they're going to shut down the house and the senate to

6:18have another trial on president trump they're going to shut down everything and again this

6:23this is why i say look the house is important the senate is to me

6:30it has got to be the uh has got to be the ultimate you know

6:34magino line so to speak that didn't go well although that didn't work out so

6:37great as we know but yeah historically did not but we've got to have what

6:40is the most successful uh the great wall of china wall of china uh we

6:45got also by the way kind of a fabrication after the fact not really that

6:49successful the mongols kick their ass what is the most successful defense line ever um

6:55that's a good military history question maybe maybe it they need to have a cemetery

7:01ridge uh third day battle of gettysburg bulwark which used to be a good word

7:07before those crazy people took it over uh in order to rebut a charge and

7:13um this is why i've said a lot of people supreme court clarence thomas 75

7:18uh justice alito 74 um we may not have the ability to have a president

7:24of the same party as the senate for another four or five years you saw

7:27what happened with ruth bader ginsburg we told you guys to enjoy that first year

7:31of trump's incredible wins and just running up the scoreboard and all that stuff because

7:36it does not last there will be the fight ahead that is for sure clay

7:40got me excited about history there for a second some of you're writing in about

7:43this to be clear for much of u .s history on the red blue phenomenon

7:46uh blue was of course the color of the union during the civil war blue

7:51represented the union blue was the color of the republican party more often than not

7:56although there was no standard system it was color tv that changed this in 1976

8:00ford versus carter blue was suddenly for republicans red was for democrats and this followed

8:08the older convention but then guess what they changed it some of you pointed this

8:11out 2000 election red states on the screen after the disputed election republican george bush

8:17blue states al gore and then all the networks followed suit clay and that's how

8:21we got red state blue state the the democrat party should be the reds i'm

8:26just saying maybe i don't know what would happen if one uh station just flipped

8:32it like if fox news just said hey you know what red blue we're going

8:35back to the historic they went full department of war on this i kind of

8:38like that idea because the the democrats are the commies they should be red blue

8:42is the greatest color in my opinion and blue is what the republican party has

8:46always stood for so there you go you're listening to team 47 with clay and

8:52buck let's talk about new york for a second shall we hello to everybody on

8:59the w -o -r -n -y -c fantastic heritage radio station that really covers much

9:05of the tri -borow area or i'm sorry that the uh tri -state area tri

9:09-borow good lord tried tri -state i haven't been gone that long guys guy moves

9:13to florida suddenly doesn't know anything about new york anymore the tri -borows the three

9:17boroughs in new york like i gotta i gotta remember things here i gotta keep

9:20keep things straight but wr great station listening many of you and uh the truth

9:26is sorry we're gonna have a little fun at the expense of new york state

9:29governance right now uh that's just where this is going because a lot of very

9:34wealthy people have become quite annoyed with what's going on in new york not just

9:39new york washington state now has this millionaires tax situation same thing california california just

9:45got so many taxes all kinds of problems kathy hochel who is honestly somebody that

9:54you wouldn't want in charge of the bake sale for the pta not even the

9:59pta you wouldn't want her running the bake sale to raise money like you would

10:04not want this woman in charge of anything of any consequence whatsoever she'd be burning

10:09the zucchini bread there's no question about it and here she is telling people that

10:15they need to move back to new york wealthy people need to move back to

10:19new york so they can fund welfare programs in new york play eight there is

10:25this anxiety which is real and we're continuing to address the affordability crisis which i

10:30believe should be the number one priority of this legislative session what can we do

10:34to take off some of that pain that new yorkers are feeling that i hear

10:37about literally every day what i want to make sure we are smart about is

10:41having a system in place where it's not just taxing for the sake of taxing

10:47and being conscious of the facts that i need people who are paying for the

10:52sake of taxing and putting money up to new york up to -" Support the

10:53generous social programs that we want to have in our state, right?

10:57Now, there are some patriotic millionaires who stepped up.

11:01Okay, cut me the checks.

11:03I mean, just if you want to be supportive, but maybe the first step should

11:07be go down to Palm Beach and see who you can bring back home.

11:12I mean, she's saying Florida, Florida has stolen her cash cows and a lot of

11:19them are in Palm Beach.

11:19A lot of them are here in Miami Beach.

11:21Let me tell you, I got neighbors.

11:22And they're in Delray and they're in Boca.

11:26Hey, a lot of places around here.

11:29And Clay, this is really, I appreciate this.

11:32She is so unsophisticated in so many ways that she's just saying the truth here,

11:37which is New York or former New Yorkers, please move back to New York so

11:41you can be milked like the cows you are for the welfare state.

11:46That is her pitch. And so we've told you this and it is going to

11:50long range. Mean that states like Tennessee, Florida, Texas, zero state income tax states are

11:58going to be far more effective and well run than super high income tax states

12:04that are losing, as you just heard Kathy Hochul say, a lot of the base

12:08that has paid for all of the government to exist.

12:11What was the data point you gave us, Buck, that New York, I think, has

12:17a little bit fewer people now than Florida, right?

12:20But Florida's government is half the size of New York's.

12:23Well, Florida's budget is half the size of New York's budget.

12:27And Florida has two to three million more residents as a state, two to three

12:32million. By the way, there are a lot of states that barely have two or

12:35three million residents. And as a general rule, how would you say, as a Florida

12:39resident, that the Florida budget and the governance is at running the money that they

12:45get at basically managing the taxpayer dollars?

12:49Everything that involves the state of Florida is more efficient, more reasonable, more sane compared

12:55to New York state level governance.

12:57Everything. Everything is easier. Everything is smoother.

12:59Everything makes more sense. Miami, things get a little third world down here, but state

13:04of Florida, fantastic. OK, so building on that, you mentioned this stat earlier, and I

13:10saw it, my jaw dropped.

13:12It's rare that I see a stat and I'm like, oh, my, I can't believe

13:14this is real. New York, is it New York City, is spending more money than

13:20the average New Yorker makes on homeless people.

13:24What is this math, Buck?

13:25$81 ,000 a year, I believe, was the.

13:30So all of you out there, you worked a long time with not making $81

13:34,000 a year, Buck. I worked a long time not making $81 ,000.

13:38I aspired to $81 ,000.

13:40I was like, oh, my gosh, think about life at 80K.

13:43This is, by the way, 100 % true.

13:44A lot of you out there are aspiring to life at 80K, right?

13:48That's a lot of money.

13:49That is what New York is spending on homeless people.

13:54And you made this analogy earlier.

13:57How many of you out there listening to us right now in New York are

14:02busting your asses all day long and you're not making 81K and you're looking around

14:08and you're saying, wait a minute, what is the state doing that they're providing 81K

14:14a year in support for homeless people?

14:17This is just so flagrantly flawed.

14:21I mean, it would be better off, and this would be an awful idea, but

14:25if the entire government just got out of the way and they just gave $78

14:30,000 in cash, you would save money if you just walked up and gave $78

14:35,000 in cash to every homeless person.

14:38I also, by the way, there's nothing inherently derogatory about the term homeless.

14:45These people clearly don't have homes.

14:47This whole thing about unsheltered now.

14:49No, I'm sorry. Unhoused. Unhoused.

14:52Unsheltered is the other, the same thing.

14:54No, I'm sorry. We're not doing this, okay?

14:56The reason they're doing this is because homelessness and homeless realities across this country, people

15:02have learned more about this.

15:03They've started to understand that almost all of the homeless, the truly homeless population, almost

15:10all have either extreme substance abuse or extreme mental health or a combination of both

15:16issues and disorders. The stories that you hear about a family of four kicked out

15:23of their home, down on their luck, that can happen.

15:26It does happen. I get it.

15:28It is rare, and they don't stay homeless because there are programs and there are,

15:35you know, this notion that thankful, I mean, but there are things to help people

15:40get back on their feet, and they tend to do so.

15:42The real homelessness issue is people with severe mental health and severe addiction issues overwhelmingly.

15:48So there's stories about someone lost their job.

15:51They're down on their luck.

15:52One percent of the unhoused or homeless population at any point in time, five percent

15:57maybe. I think that might be too much.

15:59It's people with those problems.

16:01Now, those are human beings who deserve help, too.

16:03I'm not saying otherwise. My point, though, is they're changing the definition, truly, or they're

16:08changing the terms we use of homeless because they don't want people to think about

16:13the discussions about, like Gavin Newsom said, he's going to lower homelessness.

16:16That was a term he was using in California over a 10 -year period.

16:20It's like doubled. Yeah. So they're changing the word.

16:22So it's like a new problem now.

16:23Right. It's like, oh, well, we're not dealing with the homelessness thing, Clay, because we

16:26completely failed. Now we're dealing with the unhoused population.

16:31And and here's the other thing.

16:33Eighty one thousand. This is from the comptroller of New York.

16:36This isn't, you know, right wing angry blogger dot net or something.

16:40This is from the comptroller of New York.

16:42Eighty one thousand dollars a year per homeless person in New York.

16:47Well, why are we spending?

16:50I mean, think about should we just give a check?

16:52Should we give a check for half of that?

16:54Forty grand in cash to every homeless person?

16:56One time payment. There you go.

16:57Lump sum. Get off the street.

16:59We cut half of the expenditures to your point.

17:01And you know what's a big part of this?

17:03There are a lot of people who are doing nothing to actually help homelessness that

17:08are being paid a lot of money inside of that eighty one thousand dollars where

17:11you get. This is the ugly true.

17:13This is the ugliness of it.

17:15OK, we're seeing this, my friends.

17:17Some people are going to really start to pull these dots together.

17:19I also think this is part of why Elon just with the whole Doge thing

17:23had kind of a like a thermonuclear meltdown of there's just so much fraud and

17:28so much. Waste and so much crap that it was overwhelming.

17:31And nobody fixes it. Unlike in a business where you would have somebody look at

17:34it. Right. We can't run a business like that.

17:36We need that for our country and for our government.

17:38I think Elon was truly just overwhelmed by the scale of this.

17:42And in his in, you know, his brain is able to tackle these things at

17:45scale. And he's just like, this is completely this monster is 100 times larger than

17:49I even realized. Anyway, a big part of this notice, Clay, the autistic like autistic

17:57kids programs, the child daycare Somali.

18:02I'm talking look at the autistic kids thing.

18:04And that's in California. I think they've sort of look at the spending on these

18:07programs has gone absolutely stratospheric in recent years.

18:12This is fraud, my friends.

18:14People are being paid a lot of money to do nothing of public benefit.

18:19And they're getting taxpayer dollars to do this.

18:21And you know why the Democrats keep this going?

18:23It's a giant cash cow for their constituents.

18:25What do you think? If you walk into some city funded homelessness program in New

18:30York, what do you think the voting record of the people that are getting checks

18:33from the city to run the program?

18:35What do you think voter?

18:35I bet it's 95, 99 percent Democrat.

18:38It's just like the public school systems have become now, Clay.

18:41This is about vote harvesting.

18:42This is about donations. This is power for the Democrat Party.

18:46There is a homeless industrial complex now, essentially, of all these NGOs and bureaucrats getting

18:53paid to not actually fix the problem.

18:56And this is also ties in with the health care system being broken.

19:00There was a Wall Street Journal editorial saying 99 percent of one state, I think

19:08it was Ohio, of the fraud analysis, it was all fraud.

19:1399 percent. I also think, again, this goes to health care.

19:16Nobody knows what it costs.

19:17The government funds a ton of it.

19:19Doesn't look at spending. There are people being paid $600 an hour to do autistic

19:24rehab that didn't actually have any kids with autism.

19:28I also think this ties in with an interesting question.

19:31We keep talking about how the number of kids with autism has skyrocketed.

19:35That's certainly true. How much of the autism diagnoses that we are seeing are completely

19:42made up and a function of being able to make money at $400, $500, and

19:48$600 to do autism therapy?

19:50I mean, some of these companies, you saw what happened in Minnesota, but I think

19:55the same thing is happening in California.

19:58These companies don't even have a physical location.

20:01They have a P .O.

20:02box, and they're getting paid millions of dollars a year.

20:06They're not even pretending, just like you saw with the Somali daycares thing.

20:11Remember, Buck, it is interesting.

20:13No one has come out that I've seen and said, hey, my family lost daycare.

20:17Leave aside whether you think the government should be involved in Somali daycares at all.

20:22If they were actually doing Somali daycare, wouldn't tons of people have come out and

20:27said, oh, my goodness, the kids' daycare.

20:30I can't go. I can't go to my – I haven't seen anything about this.

20:33This was all a sham.

20:35And it's a function of government not being well -run enough for people to notice

20:42where all the money is going.

20:43It's just – it's infuriating for anybody out there that pays taxes.

20:46It really is. It's astonishing, and what you realize is that – and this is

20:53a pretty stark realization, but it's true.

20:55If we think about fixing this, not only are Democrats unwilling to fix it, they

21:04don't want it to be fixed.

21:05Yes. They believe that this is a redistribution of wealth to people who should get

21:11the money. They want homeless administrators on the city, you know, getting their budget paid

21:18for by the city, by the taxpayers.

21:20They want them making $300 ,000, $400 ,000, $600 ,000 to be a homeless –

21:24Think about how crazy it is that New York is spending more money, more than

21:28$81 ,000 a year for every homeless person.

21:31I mean, it should be infuriating to everyone.

21:32But that's more than the average household in New York City.

21:34People who are working, people who are showing up, and we've all been there.

21:39I have showed up to jobs on mornings where I hated so much I thought

21:43I was going to throw up.

21:44I mean, I'm just like, I'm not making any money.

21:46This sucks. We've all been – We've all been there.

21:48You show up and you suck it up and you do it.

21:51You do it for your family.

21:53You do it for, you know, the people around you who are counting on you.

21:5780 grand going to every, you know, spent for every individual homeless person.

22:01What are they doing? Yeah.

22:03Where is all the money?

22:04Think about this. How can that be possible?

22:05Where's all the money going?

22:06We know what it is in public school system.

22:08The public school system in New York pays more than most private schools cost across

22:11the country per pupil. You know where the money goes?

22:14There's bloated administrators making 150 grand to show up, sit at a desk, do nothing

22:19all day. There are tens of thousands of them in the New York City public

22:23school system. It's crazy how many people don't teach and don't do anything and are

22:27just administrators. It goes to vice principals of a district.

22:31There's a vice principal? What?

22:33Like, you know, in case someone needs to step in for the principal, like vice

22:36principals and vice chancellors and all this stuff, we're making two, 300 grand to be

22:41working for the public school system of New York or New Jersey or any of

22:44these states. Hmm. Oh, and you can retire after 20 years and you get all

22:48your benefits and everything paid for.

22:50I mean, friends, by the way, this is also where all your city taxes and

22:53state taxes are going as well.

22:54And you know what the game is at the end of all this, Clay?

22:57Federal bailout. It's coming. You get a Gavin Newsom administration.

23:02What? You think he's going to leave California high and dry with its budget deficit?

23:05Oh, no. More. They'll just find ways to more.

23:07That's a good point because, thankfully, most states have to have balanced budgets, but a

23:13lot of cities have ended up going bankrupt.

23:15And again, the federal government doesn't.

23:18So to Buck's point, the bailout goes on the books of the federal government.

23:22I saw today we hit $39 trillion national debt.

23:27The number today now is $39 trillion.

28:02your first month that's pure talk .com slash buck and switch to a wireless company

28:07that shares your values pure talk america's wireless company the team 47 podcast is brought

28:13to you by cozy earth comfort style and quality you can count on cozy earth

28:17you're listening to team 47 with clay and buck had another early press conference about

28:29the situation unfolding in iran and i'm sure we're going to play some of those

28:34cuts for you but president trump is meeting the new leader of japan in the

28:39oval office as we speak and he just made news as trump typically does buck

28:44one of my favorite things that trump does is say he's not going to answer

28:48a question and then answer the question while while saying he's not going to answer

28:53the question so he was specifically asked this is something that a lot of you

28:56have been concerned about he was specifically asked are you going to put so -called

29:02boots on the ground in iran he's typically said hey i'm not going to answer

29:07that and to his credit uh strategically it would be uh not smart to say

29:12potentially if he's going to do one thing or another leave all options open it's

29:17harder to prepare for something if you don't know what's coming but he said he's

29:21not going to answer and then he answered here is cut 31 this just happened

29:24in the oval office moments ago potentially put u .s troops or more troops in

29:29the region no i'm not putting troops anywhere if i if i were as i

29:34wouldn't tell you but i'm not putting troops and we will do whatever is necessary

29:39to keep the price as well i i actually thought when i did this look

29:44the dow just hit 50 000 a couple of weeks ago uh they said that

29:49couldn't happen for four years it wouldn't happen in my term it's such a outrageous

29:54thing because i said it would happen i didn't know it was going to happen

29:56that fast but just hit 50 000 so trump kind of dancing around there uh

30:04but asked if he's going to put boots on the ground the only place i

30:08think he would have gone and we've said this for days and days now is

30:11potentially karg island um which is the uh main central location of where iranian oil

30:18is shipped produced we have video of trump from back in the 1980s that we've

30:22played talking about hey if you're going to hit iran that's the place where you

30:25hit iran uh but it seems like buck there is uh trump had a strongly

30:30worded statement that he put out last night uh and continues to move towards things

30:35being done i think you said you expected by april 1 for this thing to

30:40be over i think that's a good number i would go by april 15 uh

30:44if we want to go on the long end which would be another three and

30:47a half or so weeks uh but it does feel to me like this operation

30:52is winding down primarily because iran has very few ballistic missiles left and increasingly few

30:59drones if you look at the overall trajectory of iran's ability to fire back kind

31:03of haphazardly in every direction they don't have that opportunity anymore um to a large

31:09extent and as that opportunity has continued to be degraded uh we are now sitting

31:14in a situation where um it's basically hey who do we want to take out

31:19and what is a resolution here is that your take as president trump again will

31:24continue to update uh continues to answer questions well sure but i i think uh

31:29i think that something else that came out last night uh a reminder that this

31:36is high stakes stuff and things can go south on us pretty quick uh the

31:42president truthed out the following israel out of anger for what has taken place in

31:49the middle east has violently lashed out at a major facility known as south pars

31:54gas field in iran a relatively small section of the hole has been hit the

31:59united states knew nothing about this particular attack and the country of qatar qatar was

32:04in no way shape or form involved with it nor did it have any idea

32:08that it was going to happen unfortunately iran did not know this or any of

32:13the pertinent facts pertaining to the south pars attack and unjustifiably and unfairly attacked a

32:19portion of qatar's liquid natural gas facility no more attacks will be made by israel

32:26all caps pertaining to this extremely important and valuable south pars field unless iran unwisely

32:33decides to attack a very innocent in this case cutter in which instance the united

32:38states of america with or without the help or consent of israel will massively blow

32:43up the entirety of the south par's gas field at an amount of strength and

32:47power that iran has never seen or witnessed before i do not want to authorize

32:51this level of violence and destruction because of the long -term implications that will have

32:55on the future of iran but if cutters liquid natural gas is attacked again i

32:58will not hesitate to do so thank you for your attention this matter president donald

33:01j trump because i just want to read that whole thing because wow that's uh

33:06that's powerful there's a lot going on a lot of different plot twists in that

33:10statement when i read it last night i was like oh wow so there's it's

33:14almost like you need us you know to break down all the different categories the

33:18first and obviously the one that jumped out the most to me was this attack

33:22that israel uh levied was not one that trump knew was coming but i actually

33:27thought it was quite diplomatic as he moved on to say hey if you do

33:32anything to qatar then we are going to rain down holy hell on you there

33:37are some reports that iran seems to be stepping back from doing anything which obviously

33:42would suggest we are moving towards uh a uh a situation where maybe calming down

33:49is more likely to occur uh oil and gas prices buck i thought you said

33:54this yesterday this is of all the times that you could be the oil and

33:57gas guy um it spikes on every little news story it comes back down on

34:03every little news story there's a bunch of different uh oil markets there now is

34:07a huge divergence between the oil markets that are based in the middle east largely

34:13that type of oil and gas and crude oil which is the typical u .s

34:17oil and gas uh as i have it open on my screen in front of

34:20me right now 97 a barrel crude oil the u .s focused crude oil went

34:26to 120 about a week ago and uh it continues to spike or not spike

34:32entirely based on news stories right now so you'll hear hey there's something new in

34:36the strait of hormuz or a new missile has landed and they will move in

34:41one direction or another uh rapidly even as we are talking to all of you

34:46crude oil right now uh in uh is 97 dollars and a half a barrel

34:51again down from 120 where it went a couple of weeks ago uh and sitting

34:57at right at 97 50 as i'm talking to uh to all of you moving

35:01on the news basically that's coming out of the oval office every sentence almost it

35:06feels like right now look um i'm wondering what exactly is going to come out

35:15of all of this uh because increasingly i think it's clear what we've been saying

35:22there's not going to be regime change here so you've killed the leadership off but

35:27the security forces and the government structure below that leadership level seems like they're staying

35:32in place you've destroyed all their military infrastructure but that doesn't seem to change for

35:40example the besiegi militia the besiege uh being able to terrify people into staying in

35:47their homes and i just sit here and think this was what is is it

35:54clear why we're what we're trying to get out of this and why we got

35:59into this i'm not sure it is well i think i think this is a

36:04this is a fair question to ask the what we're trying what got us into

36:08this is iran was going to go nuclear which we've been told for 20 years

36:14at different levels was like months away weeks away months away weeks away okay all

36:20right i mean we don't have access to that information only the top of the

36:23national security apparatus does which should make people a little bit uncomfortable right i mean

36:26we're trying i live through the whole wmd thing as did all of you we're

36:31we're trusting the people in charge now i voted for trump three times i trust

36:35president trump on on matters of national security as a general rule but there is

36:40just a trust factor there what is the outcome here that's going to be worth

36:46the hundreds of billions of dollars that this campaign will have ended up costing i

36:53think the challenge is and you would know this better than anybody having worked as

36:57a cia analyst predicting what was going to happen on the ground and what is

37:02happening and what's likely to happen is really really difficult inside of iran because the

37:08president's first statement uh that he made when we decapitated the government and took out

37:13the ayatollah was now is the time for all of you to rise up you

37:18may not have another chance for decades or generations to take back your government that

37:23seemed like the goal was regime change but it now seems like given that there

37:28doesn't appear to have been that rising uh tide inside of iran i mean i

37:34think it's fair to say buck there were tens of thousands of people in the

37:38streets protesting the government when the ayatollah was still alive now he's dead and the

37:44tens of thousands of people in the streets don't seem to be happening now well

37:47a lot of them a lot of them are dead but you know well yeah

37:50he killed 30 000 people australia has an incredible new great newspaper in australia has

37:55an incredible front page so yes a lot of the resistance they killed um but

37:59i think maybe there was an expectation of more of an uprising and as you

38:03were talking i just sent it in we'll play it besant is in the oval

38:07office and he just said they still expect for there to be an uprising inside

38:11of iran so i think part of the argument has been it's shifting in its

38:16goals because on the one hand the mow the grass strategy of hey we're just

38:20going to wipe out iran's ability to have strong weaponry and any impact in the

38:25middle east that's to me the the low end and i think likely to have

38:29occurred the high end is we're going to replace this government with one that actually

38:35is a decent one that seems unlikely and it feels to me like we're going

38:39to be somewhere in kind of the squishy middle where what exactly is iran is

38:44going to look like when we stop dropping bombs is hard to forecast here's the

38:48other thing why can israel not continue to drop bombs so if the u .s

38:54decides at some point in time hey we've done everything we think we need to

38:57do i'm not sure the joint uh response we've got an audio clip from trump

39:02about this and the truth social post that you read is indicative of this as

39:06well couldn't there be at some point a divergence in the union where the u

39:11.s says hey we think we've done enough and iran says hey you know we

39:14haven't like we saw in gaza uh when iran kept going i mean sorry israel

39:19kept going because they're trying to eliminate the threat once and for all and the

39:23threat to be fair to israel is more substantial than the threat is to the

39:27united states i think the israelis have made it clear to iranian hard liners if

39:33you do anything that negatively affects the national security or the people of israel will

39:40blow you up in a tent in the middle of nowhere in the middle of

39:42the night like we'll get you yeah i mean that that has been made clear

39:47what does that mean for the future of a country of 90 million people i

39:52mean i gotta tell you as this thing is going on here we are using

39:56a tremendous amount of munitions which are very expensive i might add in all of

40:04this to blow up a lot of kind of second and third tier military equipment

40:12um just calling it like it is so how long do we continue to do

40:18this for i mean this is going to end up being a uh an expensive

40:21an inexpensive side quest of sorts um from what i think a lot of people

40:27are still wondering hey we've got a we've got domestic issues here that's really what

40:32we want to see the focus on trump is aware of that look he just

40:35said uh it's going to be over pretty soon uh this is cut 33 play

40:40this one prices will go up the economy will go down a little bit i

40:48thought it would be worse much worse actually i thought there was a chance it

40:51could be much worse it's not bad and it's going to be over with pretty

40:54soon we've obliterated the navy we've obliterated their just about everything there is to obliterate

41:00including leadership their navy's gone their air force is gone their anti -aircraft equipment is

41:06gone we're flying wherever we want pete we have no nobody even shooting at us

41:11they have uh i mean and as you know their leadership is gone their leaders

41:16are gone they pick new leaders they're gone they pick new leaders they're gone and

41:21now they're looking for new leaders again we can take out the island anytime we

41:25want so he's talking about carg island there you and i hear about people and

41:30families who bought a timeshare years ago they enjoyed it at first but now feel
