- 00:05:40.191 --> 00:05:43.127
- Establishment, the irgc still in control.
- 00:05:43.260 --> 00:05:43.527
- In control. but on the other hand, the us
- 00:05:43.661 --> 00:05:44.261
- But on the other hand, the us and israel say he's really in
- 00:05:44.395 --> 00:05:47.097
- And israel say he's really in their sights.
- 00:05:47.231 --> 00:05:47.531
- Their sights. they don't want to leave any
- 00:05:47.665 --> 00:05:48.265
- They don't want to leave any man standing.
- 00:05:48.399 --> 00:05:50.901
- Man standing. >> does this signal there's
- 00:05:51.035 --> 00:05:51.602
- >> does this signal there's going to be a crackdown on the
- 00:05:51.735 --> 00:05:55.139
- Going to be a crackdown on the protesters yet again that the
- 00:05:55.272 --> 00:05:55.840
- Protesters yet again that the people of iran are safe from
- 00:05:55.973 --> 00:05:58.542
- People of iran are safe from their own government?
- 00:05:58.676 --> 00:05:59.109
- Their own government? are we going to see more
- 00:05:59.243 --> 00:06:02.847
- Are we going to see more repression?
- 00:06:02.980 --> 00:06:03.247
- Repression? >> i think that's exactly it,
- 00:06:03.380 --> 00:06:06.750
- >> i think that's exactly it, says gordon, that that the
- 00:06:06.884 --> 00:06:07.418
- Says gordon, that that the protesters and i don't think
- 00:06:07.551 --> 00:06:08.085
- Protesters and i don't think there's of them out now because
- 00:06:08.219 --> 00:06:10.821
- There's of them out now because of the bombing and the fact
- 00:06:10.955 --> 00:06:11.622
- Of the bombing and the fact that that they are putting
- 00:06:11.755 --> 00:06:14.225
- That that they are putting their lives at risk right now.
- 00:06:14.358 --> 00:06:14.992
- Their lives at risk right now. so i think that kind of
- 00:06:15.125 --> 00:06:17.628
- So i think that kind of suppression, that oppression
- 00:06:17.761 --> 00:06:18.329
- Suppression, that oppression and the crackdown on those
- 00:06:18.462 --> 00:06:21.799
- And the crackdown on those protests is going to end any
- 00:06:21.932 --> 00:06:22.566
- Protests is going to end any time soon.
- 00:06:22.700 --> 00:06:25.603
- Time soon. >> think it's going to continue
- 00:06:25.736 --> 00:06:26.470
- >> think it's going to continue on.
- 00:06:26.604 --> 00:06:26.737
- On. when you total up the police
- 00:06:26.871 --> 00:06:27.438
- When you total up the police force iran, the republican
- 00:06:27.571 --> 00:06:29.773
- Force iran, the republican guard, all of these various the
- 00:06:29.907 --> 00:06:33.444
- Guard, all of these various the clerics, the entire judiciary
- 00:06:33.577 --> 00:06:37.815
- Clerics, the entire judiciary is is part of this.
- 00:06:37.948 --> 00:06:38.482
- Is is part of this. you know you get to a people
- 00:06:38.616 --> 00:06:41.952
- You know you get to a people who who have weapons in does
- 00:06:42.086 --> 00:06:45.523
- Who who have weapons in does that make it pretty pretty
- 00:06:45.656 --> 00:06:46.223
- That make it pretty pretty obvious that until they're
- 00:06:46.357 --> 00:06:48.926
- Obvious that until they're ground troops on in enforce in
- 00:06:49.059 --> 00:06:52.997
- Ground troops on in enforce in that country you're not going
- 00:06:53.130 --> 00:06:53.697
- That country you're not going to see a regime change.
- 00:06:53.831 --> 00:06:57.101
- To see a regime change. well it's a great question.
- 00:06:57.234 --> 00:06:57.835
- Well it's a great question. there are about a million i
- 00:06:57.968 --> 00:07:00.004
- There are about a million i should say irgc plus the basij
- 00:07:00.137 --> 00:07:02.773
- Should say irgc plus the basij not including the army which is
- 00:07:02.907 --> 00:07:03.541
- Not including the army which is a whole different story.
- 00:07:03.674 --> 00:07:04.174
- A whole different story. but seems like what that what
- 00:07:04.308 --> 00:07:07.545
- But seems like what that what the u.s. and israel right now
- 00:07:07.678 --> 00:07:08.279
- The u.s. and israel right now are hitting the headquarters of
- 00:07:08.412 --> 00:07:11.248
- Are hitting the headquarters of the irgc and the bridges the
- 00:07:11.382 --> 00:07:14.418
- The irgc and the bridges the way all across iran.
- 00:07:14.552 --> 00:07:14.985
- Way all across iran. now that may destroy
- 00:07:15.119 --> 00:07:18.622
- Now that may destroy infrastructure but that
- 00:07:18.756 --> 00:07:19.223
- Infrastructure but that certainly doesn't take them off
- 00:07:19.356 --> 00:07:19.990
- Certainly doesn't take them off the playing field.
- 00:07:20.124 --> 00:07:22.927
- The playing field. and so some people say you're
- 00:07:23.060 --> 00:07:23.727
- And so some people say you're going to have to have ground on
- 00:07:23.861 --> 00:07:26.463
- Going to have to have ground on the ground at some time now now
- 00:07:26.597 --> 00:07:30.034
- The ground at some time now now right now there could be ground
- 00:07:30.167 --> 00:07:30.801
- Right now there could be ground forces that will be used to
- 00:07:30.935 --> 00:07:31.535
- Forces that will be used to secure nuclear sites to secure
- 00:07:31.669 --> 00:07:34.538
- Secure nuclear sites to secure there was more than 400 kilos
- 00:07:34.672 --> 00:07:36.974
- There was more than 400 kilos or £900 of highly enriched
- 00:07:37.107 --> 00:07:37.741
- Or £900 of highly enriched uranium that's to make 11
- 00:07:37.875 --> 00:07:40.678
- Uranium that's to make 11 nuclear bombs and that's
- 00:07:40.811 --> 00:07:41.312
- Nuclear bombs and that's something that the special
- 00:07:41.445 --> 00:07:44.548
- Something that the special forces did back in 2006.
- 00:07:44.682 --> 00:07:45.182
- Forces did back in 2006. they destroyed a syrian nuclear
- 00:07:45.316 --> 00:07:48.419
- They destroyed a syrian nuclear reactor but they backed groups
- 00:07:48.552 --> 00:07:51.622
- Reactor but they backed groups groups on boots on the ground
- 00:07:51.755 --> 00:07:52.489
- Groups on boots on the ground may have to come eventually.
- 00:07:52.623 --> 00:07:53.223
- May have to come eventually. but unlike ali, that there
- 00:07:53.357 --> 00:07:56.493
- But unlike ali, that there would be a ground invasion if
- 00:07:56.627 --> 00:07:57.261
- Would be a ground invasion if there was a sudden regime
- 00:07:57.394 --> 00:07:59.830
- There was a sudden regime regime collapse perhaps gordon,
- 00:07:59.964 --> 00:08:00.564
- Regime collapse perhaps gordon, or a power vacuum there may may
- 00:08:00.698 --> 00:08:04.001
- Or a power vacuum there may may be a small force to secure
- 00:08:04.134 --> 00:08:04.702
- Be a small force to secure nuclear sites.
- 00:08:04.835 --> 00:08:05.169
- Nuclear sites. but i think what the u.
- 00:08:05.302 --> 00:08:07.738
- But i think what the u. the israeli ambassador said
- 00:08:07.871 --> 00:08:08.472
- The israeli ambassador said yesterday think is very
- 00:08:08.606 --> 00:08:11.642
- Yesterday think is very telling.
- 00:08:11.775 --> 00:08:11.976
- Telling. the ultimate boots on the
- 00:08:12.109 --> 00:08:12.643
- The ultimate boots on the ground will the iranian people
- 00:08:12.776 --> 00:08:15.245
- Ground will the iranian people representing about 90% of the
- 00:08:15.379 --> 00:08:18.115
- Representing about 90% of the people that would be able to
- 00:08:18.248 --> 00:08:18.849
- People that would be able to rise up against those million
- 00:08:18.983 --> 00:08:21.518
- Rise up against those million irgc and bush's forces?
- 00:08:21.652 --> 00:08:22.119
- Irgc and bush's forces? well, it's tough to rise up
- 00:08:24.622 --> 00:08:25.656
- Well, it's tough to rise up when you don't have any weapons
- 00:08:25.789 --> 00:08:26.390
- When you don't have any weapons are both sides sort of playing
- 00:08:26.523 --> 00:08:28.792
- Are both sides sort of playing a waiting game here letting
- 00:08:28.926 --> 00:08:29.493
- A waiting game here letting economic forces take over?
- 00:08:29.627 --> 00:08:32.763
- Economic forces take over? on the iranian side they've
- 00:08:32.896 --> 00:08:33.597
- On the iranian side they've closed strait of hormuz and so
- 00:08:33.731 --> 00:08:36.867
- Closed strait of hormuz and so oil predictably is as i mean
- 00:08:37.001 --> 00:08:40.371
- Oil predictably is as i mean some people are saying it could
- 00:08:40.504 --> 00:08:41.138
- Some people are saying it could go as high as $150 a barrel.
- 00:08:41.271 --> 00:08:43.173
- Go as high as $150 a barrel. so you know, i filled up my gas
- 00:08:43.307 --> 00:08:44.341
- So you know, i filled up my gas tank last night and suddenly
- 00:08:44.475 --> 00:08:47.778
- Tank last night and suddenly it's, you know, $0.80 more a
- 00:08:47.911 --> 00:08:48.479
- It's, you know, $0.80 more a gallon.
- 00:08:48.612 --> 00:08:48.812
- Gallon. >> so that's going to have an
- 00:08:48.946 --> 00:08:51.382
- >> so that's going to have an obvious impact on every economy
- 00:08:51.515 --> 00:08:54.451
- Obvious impact on every economy on the planet and every single
- 00:08:54.585 --> 00:08:58.222
- On the planet and every single single stock market on the
- 00:08:58.355 --> 00:08:58.889
- Single stock market on the planet.
- 00:08:59.023 --> 00:08:59.223
- Planet. at the same time, iran doesn't
- 00:08:59.356 --> 00:09:02.459
- At the same time, iran doesn't have any way to make money and
- 00:09:02.593 --> 00:09:03.227
- Have any way to make money and so how are they going to pay a
- 00:09:03.360 --> 00:09:06.497
- So how are they going to pay a million people who are on the
- 00:09:06.630 --> 00:09:07.231
- Million people who are on the payroll?
- 00:09:07.364 --> 00:09:07.564
- Payroll? so yeah, at some some point in
- 00:09:07.698 --> 00:09:10.634
- So yeah, at some some point in time those paychecks stop.
- 00:09:10.768 --> 00:09:11.268
- Time those paychecks stop. are both sides playing some
- 00:09:11.402 --> 00:09:14.071
- Are both sides playing some kind of strange waiting game
- 00:09:14.204 --> 00:09:14.772
- Kind of strange waiting game who's got the most money to
- 00:09:14.905 --> 00:09:16.240
- Who's got the most money to wait it out?
- 00:09:16.373 --> 00:09:20.310
- Wait it out? think that's exactly what's
- 00:09:20.444 --> 00:09:21.011
- Think that's exactly what's happening right now i mean the
- 00:09:21.145 --> 00:09:21.779
- Happening right now i mean the trump the trump card no pun
- 00:09:21.912 --> 00:09:24.882
- Trump the trump card no pun intended as the bay the strait
- 00:09:25.015 --> 00:09:25.616
- Intended as the bay the strait of hormuz and if iran can shut
- 00:09:25.749 --> 00:09:28.285
- Of hormuz and if iran can shut that down where percent of the
- 00:09:28.419 --> 00:09:31.655
- That down where percent of the world's oil goes through that's
- 00:09:31.789 --> 00:09:32.423
- World's oil goes through that's their main thing that they can
- 00:09:32.556 --> 00:09:35.559
- Their main thing that they can do.
- 00:09:35.693 --> 00:09:35.826
- Do. on the other hand, just
- 00:09:35.959 --> 00:09:36.427
- On the other hand, just yesterday it was the u.s. and
- 00:09:36.560 --> 00:09:38.996
- Yesterday it was the u.s. and israel that hid much of the oil
- 00:09:39.129 --> 00:09:42.299
- Israel that hid much of the oil facilities in tehran and now
- 00:09:42.433 --> 00:09:43.100
- Facilities in tehran and now they now they didn't strike the
- 00:09:43.233 --> 00:09:46.403
- They now they didn't strike the the the infrastructure and they
- 00:09:46.537 --> 00:09:49.640
- The the infrastructure and they want to remain keep that in
- 00:09:49.773 --> 00:09:50.374
- Want to remain keep that in place for any potential
- 00:09:50.507 --> 00:09:53.644
- Place for any potential government.
- 00:09:53.777 --> 00:09:54.044
- Government. but they have hit much of their
- 00:09:54.178 --> 00:09:55.012
- But they have hit much of their fuel depots and that takes away
- 00:09:55.145 --> 00:09:58.282
- Fuel depots and that takes away some of their economy and the
- 00:09:58.415 --> 00:10:01.051
- Some of their economy and the to actually fuel the the irgc
- 00:10:01.185 --> 00:10:02.086
- To actually fuel the the irgc the the bridges and the army.
- 00:10:02.219 --> 00:10:05.389
- The the bridges and the army. so it definitely is an economic
- 00:10:05.522 --> 00:10:08.659
- So it definitely is an economic going on behind all the
- 00:10:08.792 --> 00:10:09.393
- Going on behind all the explosions and battle that's
- 00:10:09.526 --> 00:10:12.763
- Explosions and battle that's going on.
- 00:10:12.896 --> 00:10:13.130
- Going on. >> real quick on lebanon, is
- 00:10:13.263 --> 00:10:16.533
- >> real quick on lebanon, is the lebanese government doing
- 00:10:16.667 --> 00:10:17.267
- The lebanese government doing this just for show?
- 00:10:17.401 --> 00:10:17.801
- This just for show? i they should have cracked down
- 00:10:17.935 --> 00:10:20.537
- I they should have cracked down on hezbollah decades ago and so
- 00:10:20.671 --> 00:10:23.974
- On hezbollah decades ago and so they've passed this resolution.
- 00:10:24.108 --> 00:10:24.742
- They've passed this resolution. are they finally going to
- 00:10:24.875 --> 00:10:27.544
- Are they finally going to enforce their own government,
- 00:10:27.678 --> 00:10:28.245
- Enforce their own government, keep a terror from operating
- 00:10:28.378 --> 00:10:31.415
- Keep a terror from operating out of their own territory?
- 00:10:31.548 --> 00:10:32.116
- Out of their own territory? >> well, if you listen to the
- 00:10:32.249 --> 00:10:35.486
- >> well, if you listen to the prime minister the president,
- 00:10:35.619 --> 00:10:36.220
- Prime minister the president, they're really making
- 00:10:36.353 --> 00:10:36.820
- They're really making unprecedented condemnations of
- 00:10:36.954 --> 00:10:39.089
- Unprecedented condemnations of hezbollah.
- 00:10:39.223 --> 00:10:39.456
- Hezbollah. i think the only reason they
- 00:10:39.590 --> 00:10:40.190
- I think the only reason they can do it and they are doing it
- 00:10:40.324 --> 00:10:43.594
- Can do it and they are doing it right now, gordon, is the fact
- 00:10:43.727 --> 00:10:44.361
- Right now, gordon, is the fact that the israeli air force and
- 00:10:44.495 --> 00:10:47.164
- That the israeli air force and troops on the ground are
- 00:10:47.297 --> 00:10:47.898
- Troops on the ground are hitting hezbollah in southern
- 00:10:48.031 --> 00:10:51.034
- Hitting hezbollah in southern lebanon and the barka valley
- 00:10:51.168 --> 00:10:51.735
- Lebanon and the barka valley and their their headquarters in
- 00:10:51.869 --> 00:10:54.738
- And their their headquarters in beirut.
- 00:10:54.872 --> 00:10:55.072
- Beirut. and because i think that's why
- 00:10:55.205 --> 00:10:58.776
- And because i think that's why the government is coming out
- 00:10:58.909 --> 00:10:59.510
- The government is coming out with these strong statements i
- 00:10:59.643 --> 00:11:02.179
- With these strong statements i think until then and until now
- 00:11:02.312 --> 00:11:02.913
- Think until then and until now they really haven't felt had
- 00:11:03.046 --> 00:11:05.983
- They really haven't felt had the ability or the the the
- 00:11:06.116 --> 00:11:06.650
- The ability or the the the boots on the ground.
- 00:11:06.784 --> 00:11:07.217
- Boots on the ground. i the force behind them that's
- 00:11:07.351 --> 00:11:09.987
- I the force behind them that's really going to degrade
- 00:11:10.120 --> 00:11:13.323
- Really going to degrade hezbollah to a to a measure
- 00:11:13.457 --> 00:11:14.024
- Hezbollah to a to a measure where they can actually speak
- 00:11:14.158 --> 00:11:14.758
- Where they can actually speak out against them.
