  • 00:05:31.916 --> 00:05:32.383
  • Obedience to khamenei. now i said the they controlled
  • 00:05:32.516 --> 00:05:35.686
  • Now i said the they controlled most of the economy.
  • 00:05:35.820 --> 00:05:36.253
  • Most of the economy. so it seems like his election
  • 00:05:36.387 --> 00:05:38.689
  • So it seems like his election election is going to signal
  • 00:05:38.823 --> 00:05:39.390
  • Election is going to signal that the military security
  • 00:05:39.523 --> 00:05:40.057
  • That the military security establishment, the irgc still
  • 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
