Question gordon and i'll tell you why they don't like them
00:06:44.697 --> 00:06:45.398
You why they don't like them because the the peshmerga, the
00:06:45.532 --> 00:06:48.234
Because the the peshmerga, the kurdish militia here here in
00:06:48.368 --> 00:06:51.938
Kurdish militia here here in the northern part of iraq are
00:06:52.071 --> 00:06:52.705
The northern part of iraq are getting hit from two sides.
00:06:52.839 --> 00:06:53.406
Getting hit from two sides. .
00:06:55.208 --> 00:06:55.475
. they're getting hit from the
00:06:55.608 --> 00:06:56.175
They're getting hit from the iranians the to the to of me
00:06:56.309 --> 00:06:58.912
Iranians the to the to of me and then to the right of me is
00:06:59.045 --> 00:06:59.879
And then to the right of me is the biblical heartland known as
00:07:00.013 --> 00:07:02.916
The biblical heartland known as the nineveh plains.
00:07:03.049 --> 00:07:03.449
The nineveh plains. do you remember the story of
00:07:03.583 --> 00:07:06.719
Do you remember the story of jonah and the whale?
00:07:06.853 --> 00:07:07.287
Jonah and the whale? well, guess what?
00:07:07.420 --> 00:07:07.787
Well, guess what? the nineveh plains today is the
00:07:07.921 --> 00:07:10.456
The nineveh plains today is the home base for pro iranian
00:07:10.590 --> 00:07:13.526
Home base for pro iranian militia and they have been
00:07:13.660 --> 00:07:14.360
Militia and they have been lobbying drones them in this
00:07:14.494 --> 00:07:18.231
Lobbying drones them in this region.
00:07:18.364 --> 00:07:18.565
Region. and in fact this morning when
00:07:18.698 --> 00:07:21.301
And in fact this morning when we woke up around 830 this
00:07:21.434 --> 00:07:22.001
We woke up around 830 this morning i left not too too far
00:07:22.135 --> 00:07:25.538
Morning i left not too too far from the u.s. embassy here in
00:07:25.672 --> 00:07:26.272
From the u.s. embassy here in erbil and there loud explosion.
00:07:26.406 --> 00:07:29.442
Erbil and there loud explosion. we walked out and seconds i was
00:07:29.576 --> 00:07:33.846
We walked out and seconds i was able to capture the u.s. see
00:07:33.980 --> 00:07:34.547
Able to capture the u.s. see ryan which is technology that
00:07:34.681 --> 00:07:39.886
Ryan which is technology that they used to go after iraqi and
00:07:40.019 --> 00:07:44.257
They used to go after iraqi and mortar and they intercepted
00:07:44.390 --> 00:07:44.924
Mortar and they intercepted right above my a drone
00:07:45.058 --> 00:07:47.961
Right above my a drone presumably shot from the the
00:07:48.094 --> 00:07:52.131
Presumably shot from the the nineveh plain.
00:07:52.265 --> 00:07:52.599
Nineveh plain. so that's why there's this
00:07:52.732 --> 00:07:53.266
So that's why there's this distrust as you rightly said,
00:07:53.399 --> 00:07:55.368
Distrust as you rightly said, gordon, between the various
00:07:55.501 --> 00:07:56.035
Gordon, between the various kurdish groups and in what's
00:07:56.169 --> 00:07:58.871
Kurdish groups and in what's absolutely alarming and the
00:07:59.005 --> 00:07:59.539
Absolutely alarming and the united states the iraqi
00:07:59.672 --> 00:08:02.742
United states the iraqi government here to funding
00:08:02.875 --> 00:08:06.212
Government here to funding because the pro-iranian militia
00:08:06.346 --> 00:08:10.249
Because the pro-iranian militia are actually on their payroll.
00:08:10.383 --> 00:08:11.017
Are actually on their payroll. they have they're getting paid
00:08:11.150 --> 00:08:14.354
They have they're getting paid regularly every two or three
00:08:14.487 --> 00:08:15.054
Regularly every two or three weeks.
00:08:15.188 --> 00:08:15.355
Weeks. and so the u.s. has been hey,
00:08:15.488 --> 00:08:18.491
And so the u.s. has been hey, listen, you need to cut off
00:08:18.625 --> 00:08:19.258
Listen, you need to cut off that funding.

That funding. you need to stop a stop funding
00:08:19.826 --> 00:08:21.761
You need to stop a stop funding ,stop paying them and to
00:08:21.894 --> 00:08:22.495
,stop paying them and to really clamp down on militia
00:08:22.629 --> 00:08:25.865
Really clamp down on militia groups that are also actively
