  • 00:05:38.926 --> 00:05:40.360
  • Question of the day is to keep that strait open.
  • 00:05:40.494 --> 00:05:44.131
  • That strait open. >> i think it is i think that
  • 00:05:44.264 --> 00:05:45.098
  • >> i think it is i think that american military might and
  • 00:05:45.232 --> 00:05:47.768
  • American military might and diplomatic finesse will be able
  • 00:05:47.901 --> 00:05:48.535
  • Diplomatic finesse will be able to achieve that and i'll
  • 00:05:48.669 --> 00:05:50.971
  • To achieve that and i'll explain why i think what that
  • 00:05:51.104 --> 00:05:51.705
  • Explain why i think what that what we're seeing is the
  • 00:05:51.839 --> 00:05:52.339
  • What we're seeing is the iranian regime opening war on
  • 00:05:52.473 --> 00:05:55.809
  • Iranian regime opening war on the entire world economy.
  • 00:05:55.943 --> 00:05:58.979
  • The entire world economy. they did one significant
  • 00:05:59.112 --> 00:05:59.680
  • They did one significant strategic mistake by attacking
  • 00:05:59.813 --> 00:06:03.083
  • Strategic mistake by attacking out on their neighboring arab
  • 00:06:03.217 --> 00:06:03.817
  • Out on their neighboring arab and muslim countries killing
  • 00:06:03.951 --> 00:06:06.887
  • And muslim countries killing and hitting very important
  • 00:06:07.020 --> 00:06:07.688
  • And hitting very important infrastructure of those
  • 00:06:07.821 --> 00:06:10.924
  • Infrastructure of those countries unprovoked attack
  • 00:06:11.058 --> 00:06:11.625
  • Countries unprovoked attack then that is really backfiring
  • 00:06:11.758 --> 00:06:14.828
  • Then that is really backfiring at the iran and i think that
  • 00:06:14.962 --> 00:06:15.596
  • At the iran and i think that they're desperate illegal acts
  • 00:06:15.729 --> 00:06:18.131
  • They're desperate illegal acts to try to hinder international
  • 00:06:18.265 --> 00:06:21.902
  • To try to hinder international in the strait of hormuz will
  • 00:06:22.035 --> 00:06:22.669
  • In the strait of hormuz will also eventually backfire
  • 00:06:22.803 --> 00:06:23.303
  • Also eventually backfire because there are so many
  • 00:06:23.437 --> 00:06:26.540
  • Because there are so many targets and so many things that
  • 00:06:26.673 --> 00:06:27.341
  • Targets and so many things that the u.s. and israel hit in iran
  • 00:06:27.474 --> 00:06:30.377
  • The u.s. and israel hit in iran that have not been hit because
  • 00:06:30.511 --> 00:06:31.111
  • That have not been hit because we are holding and we don't
  • 00:06:31.245 --> 00:06:34.281
  • We are holding and we don't want to really hit the
  • 00:06:34.414 --> 00:06:35.015
  • Want to really hit the infrastructure state but they
  • 00:06:35.148 --> 00:06:38.285
  • Infrastructure state but they can now be struck.
  • 00:06:38.418 --> 00:06:38.819
  • Can now be struck. but what i think i think is
  • 00:06:38.952 --> 00:06:41.889
  • But what i think i think is important to look at is you
  • 00:06:42.022 --> 00:06:42.623
  • Important to look at is you know, oil prices they went up
  • 00:06:42.756 --> 00:06:45.526
  • Know, oil prices they went up because there was a lot of talk
  • 00:06:45.659 --> 00:06:46.360
  • Because there was a lot of talk and a lot of hype and a lot of
  • 00:06:46.493 --> 00:06:47.494
  • And a lot of hype and a lot of people an interest in spiking
  • 00:06:47.628 --> 00:06:50.097
  • People an interest in spiking those prices.
  • 00:06:50.230 --> 00:06:50.531
  • Those prices. >> but then through trump's
  • 00:06:50.664 --> 00:06:53.133
  • >> but then through trump's actions and words and the
  • 00:06:53.267 --> 00:06:53.767
  • Actions and words and the actions of the american, they
  • 00:06:53.901 --> 00:06:57.271
  • Actions of the american, they went back down.
  • 00:06:57.404 --> 00:06:57.738
  • Went back down. and i think that the iranians
  • 00:06:57.871 --> 00:07:00.474
  • And i think that the iranians doing a very serious gamble
  • 00:07:00.607 --> 00:07:01.241
  • Doing a very serious gamble here it could be another
  • 00:07:01.375 --> 00:07:04.144
  • Here it could be another strategic mistake for them and
  • 00:07:04.278 --> 00:07:04.878
  • Strategic mistake for them and i think eventually with the
  • 00:07:05.012 --> 00:07:05.579
  • I think eventually with the american might the strait of
  • 00:07:05.712 --> 00:07:08.415
  • American might the strait of hormuz will eventually be
  • 00:07:08.549 --> 00:07:09.082
  • Hormuz will eventually be opened.
  • 00:07:09.216 --> 00:07:12.085
  • Opened. >> well, let's talk about the
  • 00:07:12.219 --> 00:07:12.853
  • >> well, let's talk about the economic warfare here because
  • 00:07:12.986 --> 00:07:13.554
  • Economic warfare here because it seems to be quite clearly a
  • 00:07:13.687 --> 00:07:16.256
  • It seems to be quite clearly a tactic to close that strait
  • 00:07:16.390 --> 00:07:16.990
  • Tactic to close that strait drive the price of oil up, try
  • 00:07:17.124 --> 00:07:20.794
  • Drive the price of oil up, try to crater stock markets, the
  • 00:07:20.928 --> 00:07:24.164
  • To crater stock markets, the western world.
  • 00:07:24.298 --> 00:07:24.631
  • Western world. obviously the impact the
  • 00:07:24.765 --> 00:07:28.335
  • Obviously the impact the economies of asia in an to
  • 00:07:28.468 --> 00:07:31.605
  • Economies of asia in an to drive the us to to and allow
  • 00:07:31.738 --> 00:07:36.710
  • Drive the us to to and allow the regime to stay in power on
  • 00:07:36.843 --> 00:07:37.544
  • The regime to stay in power on the other.
  • 00:07:37.678 --> 00:07:40.714
  • The other. i think the us is trying to
  • 00:07:40.847 --> 00:07:41.582
  • I think the us is trying to bankrupt the government of iran
  • 00:07:41.715 --> 00:07:44.451
  • Bankrupt the government of iran and make it impossible for them
  • 00:07:44.585 --> 00:07:45.252
  • And make it impossible for them to make payments to guard to
  • 00:07:45.385 --> 00:07:48.255
  • To make payments to guard to the army, to the police force
  • 00:07:48.388 --> 00:07:51.425
  • The army, to the police force which economic war is going to
  • 00:07:51.558 --> 00:07:52.359
  • Which economic war is going to win.
  • 00:07:52.492 --> 00:07:55.629
  • Win. >> i think the biggest flaw in
  • 00:07:55.762 --> 00:07:58.999
  • >> i think the biggest flaw in strategic thinking is that they
  • 00:07:59.132 --> 00:07:59.800
  • Strategic thinking is that they don't really understand and
  • 00:07:59.933 --> 00:08:00.500
  • Don't really understand and comprehend this american
  • 00:08:00.634 --> 00:08:03.904
  • Comprehend this american president and the team that
  • 00:08:04.037 --> 00:08:04.605
  • President and the team that surrounds him and the tactic of
  • 00:08:04.738 --> 00:08:07.841
  • Surrounds him and the tactic of trying to blackmail the world,
  • 00:08:07.975 --> 00:08:08.575
  • Trying to blackmail the world, of trying to global commerce
  • 00:08:08.709 --> 00:08:11.411
  • Of trying to global commerce and perhaps trying to get to
  • 00:08:11.545 --> 00:08:15.215
  • And perhaps trying to get to get to rise by a few dollars or
  • 00:08:15.349 --> 00:08:16.183
  • Get to rise by a few dollars or by dozens and then maybe, you
  • 00:08:16.316 --> 00:08:19.486
  • By dozens and then maybe, you know, affecting the pockets of
  • 00:08:19.620 --> 00:08:20.220
  • Know, affecting the pockets of americans.
  • 00:08:20.354 --> 00:08:23.256
  • Americans. i think that's a tactic that
  • 00:08:23.390 --> 00:08:24.124
  • I think that's a tactic that isn't going to be successful
  • 00:08:24.257 --> 00:08:24.858
  • Isn't going to be successful because the because the level
  • 00:08:24.992 --> 00:08:27.427
  • Because the because the level of resolve on the other side on
  • 00:08:27.561 --> 00:08:28.195
  • Of resolve on the other side on the american side is so much
  • 00:08:28.328 --> 00:08:30.931
  • The american side is so much more stronger than it has been
  • 00:08:31.064 --> 00:08:31.698
  • More stronger than it has been in the past.
  • 00:08:31.832 --> 00:08:32.099
  • In the past. >> and i think that the the
  • 00:08:32.232 --> 00:08:34.635
  • >> and i think that the the firepower the economic
  • 00:08:34.768 --> 00:08:35.235
  • Firepower the economic firepower that the us has has
  • 00:08:35.369 --> 00:08:39.072
  • Firepower that the us has has is there's no comparison.
  • 00:08:39.206 --> 00:08:39.706
  • Is there's no comparison. and what i also believe believe
  • 00:08:39.840 --> 00:08:43.176
  • And what i also believe believe is that behind the scenes
  • 00:08:43.310 --> 00:08:43.844
  • Is that behind the scenes before the military action
  • 00:08:43.977 --> 00:08:46.546
  • Before the military action started i understand that there
  • 00:08:46.680 --> 00:08:47.314
  • Started i understand that there were very important diplomatic
  • 00:08:47.447 --> 00:08:50.751
  • Were very important diplomatic economic arrangements that were
  • 00:08:50.884 --> 00:08:51.518
  • Economic arrangements that were made between the us and other
  • 00:08:51.652 --> 00:08:55.155
  • Made between the us and other important oil consumers of iran
  • 00:08:55.288 --> 00:08:58.425
  • Important oil consumers of iran sure that they're on the same
  • 00:08:58.558 --> 00:08:59.259
  • Sure that they're on the same side and that there will be be
  • 00:08:59.393 --> 00:09:02.429
  • Side and that there will be be other ways for china to get oil
  • 00:09:02.562 --> 00:09:03.296
  • Other ways for china to get oil and by doing so making sure
  • 00:09:03.430 --> 00:09:06.767
  • And by doing so making sure that china doesn't get
  • 00:09:06.900 --> 00:09:07.334
  • That china doesn't get involved.
  • 00:09:07.467 --> 00:09:07.701
  • Involved. but you know the iranians now
  • 00:09:07.834 --> 00:09:10.404
  • But you know the iranians now important to understand we're
  • 00:09:10.537 --> 00:09:11.138
  • Important to understand we're looking at a wounded and very
  • 00:09:11.271 --> 00:09:14.207
  • Looking at a wounded and very dangerous animal that is with
  • 00:09:14.341 --> 00:09:14.975
  • Dangerous animal that is with the iranian is now and we have
  • 00:09:15.108 --> 00:09:18.512
  • The iranian is now and we have to understand that this is a
  • 00:09:18.645 --> 00:09:19.346
  • To understand that this is a regime regime that doesn't have
  • 00:09:19.479 --> 00:09:21.948
  • Regime regime that doesn't have the well-being of the iranian
  • 00:09:22.082 --> 00:09:22.683
  • The well-being of the iranian people all all the iranian
  • 00:09:22.816 --> 00:09:26.053
  • People all all the iranian nation at as the highest
  • 00:09:26.186 --> 00:09:26.687
  • Nation at as the highest priority.
  • 00:09:26.820 --> 00:09:27.054
  • Priority. this regime is about just
  • 00:09:27.187 --> 00:09:29.356
  • This regime is about just survival and power and this
  • 00:09:29.489 --> 00:09:32.426
  • Survival and power and this islamist mindset.
  • 00:09:32.559 --> 00:09:32.926
  • Islamist mindset. so when we think we think about
  • 00:09:33.060 --> 00:09:36.830
  • So when we think we think about how can we bring them down.
  • 00:09:36.963 --> 00:09:37.531
  • How can we bring them down. i'm not entirely sure that
  • 00:09:37.664 --> 00:09:38.331
  • I'm not entirely sure that economic warfare is going to do
  • 00:09:38.465 --> 00:09:41.068
  • Economic warfare is going to do the have the necessary impact
  • 00:09:41.201 --> 00:09:41.835
  • The have the necessary impact because.
  • 00:09:41.968 --> 00:09:44.671
  • Because. they don't really care if they
  • 00:09:44.805 --> 00:09:45.439
  • They don't really care if they have enough money or not.
  • 00:09:45.572 --> 00:09:46.106
  • Have enough money or not. this is are fundamentalists.
  • 00:09:46.239 --> 00:09:48.508
  • This is are fundamentalists. they're crazy people and i
  • 00:09:48.642 --> 00:09:52.612
  • They're crazy people and i think that at this stage it's
  • 00:09:52.746 --> 00:09:53.380
  • Think that at this stage it's much more about real hard power
  • 00:09:53.513 --> 00:09:56.216
  • Much more about real hard power and and really taking out their
  • 00:09:56.349 --> 00:09:57.084
  • And and really taking out their capabilities and bringing
  • 00:09:57.217 --> 00:10:00.320
  • Capabilities and bringing regime to its knees.
  • 00:10:00.454 --> 00:10:00.954
  • Regime to its knees. and i don't think that economic
  • 00:10:01.088 --> 00:10:01.888
  • And i don't think that economic warfare such an important
  • 00:10:02.022 --> 00:10:04.424
  • Warfare such an important deterrent against them.
  • 00:10:04.558 --> 00:10:05.025
  • Deterrent against them. well, let's talk let's talk
  • 00:10:05.158 --> 00:10:08.261
  • Well, let's talk let's talk about the real hard power then
  • 00:10:08.395 --> 00:10:09.029
  • About the real hard power then prime minister netanyahu is
  • 00:10:09.162 --> 00:10:09.730
  • Prime minister netanyahu is telling the iranian people to
  • 00:10:09.863 --> 00:10:12.399
  • Telling the iranian people to get ready to take back their
  • 00:10:12.532 --> 00:10:13.233
  • Get ready to take back their government so i'm looking at it
  • 00:10:13.366 --> 00:10:18.438
  • Government so i'm looking at it you've got a million people
  • 00:10:18.572 --> 00:10:19.106
  • You've got a million people roughly who are part of the
  • 00:10:19.239 --> 00:10:19.906
  • Roughly who are part of the republican part of the police
  • 00:10:20.040 --> 00:10:22.509
  • Republican part of the police force of iran.
  • 00:10:22.642 --> 00:10:22.976
  • Force of iran. it have the clerics, they have
  • 00:10:23.110 --> 00:10:26.513
  • It have the clerics, they have the judiciary, they have the
  • 00:10:26.646 --> 00:10:27.247
  • The judiciary, they have the police, have the republican
  • 00:10:27.380 --> 00:10:30.584
  • Police, have the republican guard.
  • 00:10:30.717 --> 00:10:30.884
  • Guard. there have always been
  • 00:10:31.017 --> 00:10:31.518
  • There have always been questions do they really own
  • 00:10:31.651 --> 00:10:34.087
  • Questions do they really own military?
  • 00:10:34.221 --> 00:10:34.454
  • Military? but i would i would assume at
  • 00:10:34.588 --> 00:10:37.791
  • But i would i would assume at this point they do.
  • 00:10:37.924 --> 00:10:38.325
  • This point they do. so if you have a million people
  • 00:10:38.458 --> 00:10:40.660
  • So if you have a million people with weapons and the civilian
  • 00:10:40.794 --> 00:10:41.361
  • With weapons and the civilian population has what's the
  • 00:10:41.495 --> 00:10:44.397
  • Population has what's the tipping point for the iranian
  • 00:10:44.531 --> 00:10:45.132
  • Tipping point for the iranian people actually feel like they
  • 00:10:45.265 --> 00:10:48.502
  • People actually feel like they can succeed?
  • 00:10:48.635 --> 00:10:51.738
  • Can succeed? yeah, you're touching on a very
  • 00:10:51.872 --> 00:10:52.539
  • Yeah, you're touching on a very important topic and i agree
  • 00:10:52.672 --> 00:10:54.975
  • Important topic and i agree your analysis of you know, the
  • 00:10:55.108 --> 00:10:55.709
  • Your analysis of you know, the problem here and i would say
  • 00:10:55.842 --> 00:10:56.576
  • Problem here and i would say without too many details that
  • 00:10:56.710 --> 00:10:59.346
  • Without too many details that there are different
  • 00:10:59.479 --> 00:10:59.880
  • There are different organizations american and
  • 00:11:00.013 --> 00:11:03.183
  • Organizations american and israeli that are busy and
  • 00:11:03.316 --> 00:11:03.850
  • Israeli that are busy and trying to change that the
  • 00:11:03.984 --> 00:11:07.087
  • Trying to change that the equation is a problem when you
  • 00:11:07.220 --> 00:11:07.854
  • Equation is a problem when you have armed thugs at the behest
  • 00:11:07.988 --> 00:11:11.358

  • Have the army out of the three my bed and most people's bed
  • 00:13:56.623 --> 00:13:57.190
  • My bed and most people's bed would be that that the first
  • 00:13:57.324 --> 00:13:59.893
  • Would be that that the first fault lines will be in the army
  • 00:14:00.026 --> 00:14:00.694
  • Fault lines will be in the army because they are not so much
  • 00:14:00.827 --> 00:14:03.730
  • Because they are not so much radicals as the basij and irgc
  • 00:14:03.863 --> 00:14:06.900
  • Radicals as the basij and irgc .

  • Establishment happening now as we speak order to prod and
  • 00:14:15.709 --> 00:14:18.511
  • We speak order to prod and sense for vulnerabilities where
  • 00:14:18.645 --> 00:14:21.982
  • Sense for vulnerabilities where there are such vulnerabilities
  • 00:14:22.115 --> 00:14:22.716
  • There are such vulnerabilities or openings really them into
  • 00:14:22.849 --> 00:14:25.785
  • Or openings really them into something that'll be more
  • 00:14:25.919 --> 00:14:26.453
  • Something that'll be more meaningful on a on a national
  • 00:14:26.586 --> 00:14:30.023
  • Meaningful on a on a national scale.
  • 00:14:30.156 --> 00:14:30.323
  • Scale. you touch on a very important
  • 00:14:30.457 --> 00:14:31.057
  • You touch on a very important topic and that you know, the
  • 00:14:31.191 --> 00:14:33.393
  • Topic and that you know, the state the mindset of the
  • 00:14:33.526 --> 00:14:34.027
  • State the mindset of the iranian people iranian people
  • 00:14:34.160 --> 00:14:36.796
  • Iranian people iranian people when took to the streets in
  • 00:14:36.930 --> 00:14:37.630
  • When took to the streets in tens they were confronted with
  • 00:14:37.764 --> 00:14:41.101
  • Tens they were confronted with brutal oppression.
  • 00:14:41.234 --> 00:14:41.601
  • Brutal oppression. they were gunned down on the
  • 00:14:41.735 --> 00:14:44.504
  • They were gunned down on the streets by foreign mercenaries
  • 00:14:44.637 --> 00:14:45.238
  • Streets by foreign mercenaries and by iranian forces but they
  • 00:14:45.372 --> 00:14:47.807
  • And by iranian forces but they continued to take to the
  • 00:14:47.941 --> 00:14:48.541
  • Continued to take to the streets and they continue to
  • 00:14:48.675 --> 00:14:51.911
  • Streets and they continue to march in universities and other
  • 00:14:52.045 --> 00:14:52.679
  • March in universities and other locations even though they knew
  • 00:14:52.812 --> 00:14:55.615
  • Locations even though they knew that they were facing mortal
  • 00:14:55.749 --> 00:14:56.349
  • That they were facing mortal danger.
  • 00:14:56.483 --> 00:14:56.683
  • Danger. i think is the rubicon that is
  • 00:14:56.816 --> 00:14:59.652
  • I think is the rubicon that is the watershed moment which we
  • 00:14:59.786 --> 00:15:00.387
  • The watershed moment which we have already passed.
  • 00:15:00.520 --> 00:15:04.157
  • Have already passed. the iranian people has passed
  • 00:15:04.290 --> 00:15:04.891
  • The iranian people has passed that then they are now waiting
  • 00:15:05.025 --> 00:15:05.658
  • That then they are now waiting for the conditions on the
  • 00:15:05.792 --> 00:15:07.394
  • For the conditions on the ground to be good enough for
  • 00:15:07.527 --> 00:15:08.228
  • Ground to be good enough for them for them to be able to
  • 00:15:08.361 --> 00:15:11.231
  • Them for them to be able to summon the organization and the
  • 00:15:11.364 --> 00:15:11.965
  • Summon the organization and the courage and to take to the
  • 00:15:12.098 --> 00:15:14.434
  • Courage and to take to the streets again.
  • 00:15:14.567 --> 00:15:14.901
  • Streets again. my assessment is that if that
  • 00:15:15.035 --> 00:15:15.668
  • My assessment is that if that will happen once the american
  • 00:15:15.802 --> 00:15:18.004
  • Will happen once the american israeli bombs stop flying, then
  • 00:15:18.138 --> 00:15:21.741
  • Israeli bombs stop flying, then the real difficulties for the
  • 00:15:21.875 --> 00:15:22.475
  • The real difficulties for the iranian regime will will.
  • 00:15:22.609 --> 00:15:25.211

  • Change. i've been saying for some time
  • 00:15:27.113 --> 00:15:29.416
  • I've been saying for some time the real weapon here is that
  • 00:15:29.549 --> 00:15:30.250
  • The real weapon here is that regime can talk about their
  • 00:15:30.383 --> 00:15:33.820
  • Regime can talk about their nuclear capability, ballistic
  • 00:15:33.953 --> 00:15:34.521
  • Nuclear capability, ballistic missiles, asymmetric warfare,
  • 00:15:34.654 --> 00:15:37.957

  • Hezbollah, hamas hoodies, all of this.
  • 00:15:42.095 --> 00:15:42.295
  • Of this. but of all of it is the
  • 00:15:42.429 --> 00:15:45.765
  • But of all of it is the ideology of that regime which
  • 00:15:45.899 --> 00:15:48.401
  • Ideology of that regime which which is bent on destroying
  • 00:15:48.535 --> 00:15:49.135
  • Which is bent on destroying israel and destroying the
  • 00:15:49.269 --> 00:15:49.769
  • Israel and destroying the united states.
