  • We're welcoming back

  • Our good friend rahim kassam from the national pulse.com.

  • How you been? it's been too long. thank you.
  • 00:00:14.037 --> 00:00:16.339
  • Thank you gents.

  • Always, always an honor to be on. hope you're all well.
  • 00:00:17.474 --> 00:00:19.742
  • We're doing well.
  • 00:00:19.742 --> 00:00:20.710
  • We just had a great weekend in san antonio.
  • 00:00:20.710 --> 00:00:22.512
  • We went through all the clips, all the fun,
  • 00:00:22.512 --> 00:00:24.681
  • All the, the video fun.
  • 00:00:24.681 --> 00:00:27.117
  • But we got to turn our
  • 00:00:27.117 --> 00:00:28.251
  • Attention here, raheem, to, what's going on in iran?
  • 00:00:28.251 --> 00:00:32.122
  • What's going on?
  • 00:00:32.122 --> 00:00:33.456
  • With the israel hezbollah, the strikes
  • 00:00:33.456 --> 00:00:35.458
  • Going back and forth.
  • 00:00:35.458 --> 00:00:37.093
  • President trump was on with, welker over at nbc.
  • 00:00:37.093 --> 00:00:40.663
  • It was a very contentious, interview.
  • 00:00:40.663 --> 00:00:43.466
  • But here's trump in his own words. 38.
  • 00:00:43.466 --> 00:00:46.402
  • I don't like these endless wars.
  • 00:00:47.137 --> 00:00:49.239
  • This is not an endless war.
  • 00:00:49.239 --> 00:00:50.874
  • We've been doing this for three months.
  • 00:00:50.874 --> 00:00:53.276
  • Much of it has been under the form of
  • 00:00:53.276 --> 00:00:55.078
  • Pretty good form of ceasefire.
  • 00:00:55.078 --> 00:00:56.813
  • The blockade has been amazing.
  • 00:00:56.813 --> 00:00:58.548
  • Our navy is amazing.
  • 00:00:58.548 --> 00:01:00.016
  • Our military is the best in the world.
  • 00:01:00.016 --> 00:01:02.051
  • So he's he's saying,
  • 00:01:02.051 --> 00:01:03.319
  • I don't like these forever wars,
  • 00:01:03.319 --> 00:01:04.621
  • Which is something that we've
  • 00:01:04.621 --> 00:01:05.788
  • Always sort of baked into the cake with president trump.
  • 00:01:05.788 --> 00:01:07.991
  • But then you've got iran striking, israel
  • 00:01:07.991 --> 00:01:11.528
  • Sending missiles into israel.
  • 00:01:11.528 --> 00:01:12.829
  • Israel striking a, look at
  • 00:01:12.829 --> 00:01:15.198
  • That is like a petro plant in, in western iran.
  • 00:01:15.198 --> 00:01:19.035
  • There's all this hezbollah stuff.
  • 00:01:19.035 --> 00:01:21.204
  • You know, you are
  • 00:01:21.638 --> 00:01:22.672
  • A student of international geopolitics, raheem.
  • 00:01:22.672 --> 00:01:26.009
  • It's part of the way that you
  • 00:01:26.009 --> 00:01:27.777
  • You just your make up in politics
  • 00:01:27.777 --> 00:01:29.746
  • Because you have been back and forth across the atlantic.
  • 00:01:29.746 --> 00:01:32.882
  • So what do you make of this?
  • 00:01:32.882 --> 00:01:34.918
  • You know, trump is telling israel to stand down.
  • 00:01:34.918 --> 00:01:36.920
  • How do you see this playing out over the next days and weeks?
  • 00:01:36.920 --> 00:01:41.424
  • Yeah.
  • 00:01:41.658 --> 00:01:42.458
  • I think the answer that everybody,
  • 00:01:42.458 --> 00:01:45.061
  • You know, here on capitol hill, where i'm sitting right now,
  • 00:01:45.061 --> 00:01:47.830
  • The answer that everybody gives is, is very simple.
  • 00:01:47.830 --> 00:01:50.967
  • It's a mess.
  • 00:01:50.967 --> 00:01:52.202
  • And it's it's a mess because i think most people recognize
  • 00:01:52.202 --> 00:01:55.505
  • That in advance of beginning this operation,
  • 00:01:55.505 --> 00:01:59.042
  • There wasn't a lot of forward planning.
  • 00:01:59.042 --> 00:02:01.811
  • No, no,
  • 00:02:01.811 --> 00:02:03.046
  • There was some, but not as much as one might have hoped for.
  • 00:02:03.046 --> 00:02:05.815
  • Expected,
  • 00:02:05.815 --> 00:02:07.050
  • What happens in any given scenario and the scenario
  • 00:02:07.050 --> 00:02:09.953
  • We find ourselves in is one of the few that just
  • 00:02:09.953 --> 00:02:12.789
  • Simply wasn't war game.
  • 00:02:12.789 --> 00:02:14.090
  • Now, especially, the failure to bring in,
  • 00:02:14.090 --> 00:02:17.694
  • European partners.
  • 00:02:17.694 --> 00:02:18.728
  • And i don't think it's
  • 00:02:18.728 --> 00:02:19.829
  • A failure necessarily on the administration side,
  • 00:02:19.829 --> 00:02:22.098
  • I think the european partners themselves,
  • 00:02:22.098 --> 00:02:24.033
  • Have to look in the mirror
  • 00:02:24.033 --> 00:02:25.368
  • And ask themselves questions about where they've been.
  • 00:02:25.368 --> 00:02:28.605
  • Over the course of this, especially given
  • 00:02:28.605 --> 00:02:31.741
  • How many of them were so willing
  • 00:02:31.741 --> 00:02:33.810
  • To work with the obama administration to lift
  • 00:02:33.810 --> 00:02:36.746
  • Sanctions to help the iranians, to try and bring them in
  • 00:02:36.746 --> 00:02:40.083
  • To the international fold.
  • 00:02:40.083 --> 00:02:41.284
  • And then when trump tries to do something that, you know,
  • 00:02:41.284 --> 00:02:43.653
  • Given is different and, a little bit more, sporadic
  • 00:02:43.653 --> 00:02:47.190
  • And spur of the moment,
  • 00:02:47.190 --> 00:02:48.725
  • They all just sort of washed
  • 00:02:48.725 --> 00:02:49.926
  • Their hands
  • 00:02:49.926 --> 00:02:51.160
  • Of international affairs and wash their hands of the region.
  • 00:02:51.160 --> 00:02:54.297
  • Even though, a lot of them are, heavily
  • 00:02:54.297 --> 00:02:57.233
  • Reliant on what comes through
  • 00:02:57.233 --> 00:02:58.501
  • The strait of hormuz, it seems like an abdication,
  • 00:02:58.501 --> 00:03:01.437
  • In a sense, on their part.
  • 00:03:01.437 --> 00:03:02.705
  • I mean, you know,
  • 00:03:02.705 --> 00:03:03.706
  • Even if you don't want to do it, you have to.
  • 00:03:03.706 --> 00:03:05.341
  • Realpolitik will slap you in the face with
  • 00:03:05.341 --> 00:03:07.377
  • With you know, both the front and the back of the hand.
  • 00:03:07.377 --> 00:03:09.879
  • And it seems like those slaps just haven't woken, any of the
  • 00:03:09.879 --> 00:03:12.849
  • Longstanding european european partners up either.
  • 00:03:12.849 --> 00:03:16.052
  • So it's a mess all over.
  • 00:03:16.052 --> 00:03:17.820
  • What i expect to happen from here is just more of the same,
  • 00:03:17.820 --> 00:03:20.923
  • I'm afraid.
  • 00:03:20.923 --> 00:03:21.424
  • You know,
  • 00:03:21.424 --> 00:03:22.058
  • The markets won't like it
  • 00:03:22.058 --> 00:03:22.759
  • And people won't like
  • 00:03:22.759 --> 00:03:24.394
  • The impact that it has and continues
  • 00:03:24.394 --> 00:03:25.828
  • To have in their pockets.
  • 00:03:25.828 --> 00:03:27.230
  • But, in an absence of, you know, quote unquote
  • 00:03:27.230 --> 00:03:30.099
  • Finishing the job, this this will just continue to go on.
  • 00:03:30.099 --> 00:03:34.671
  • And, you know, i have a lot of questions
  • 00:03:34.671 --> 00:03:37.473
  • Over, what netanyahu's goal here is.
  • 00:03:37.473 --> 00:03:40.443
  • What is domestic, you know, goals of his own sake.
  • 00:03:40.443 --> 00:03:45.315
  • And president trump has spoken to some of those,
  • 00:03:45.315 --> 00:03:47.216
  • Spoke to some of those this weekend, right.
  • 00:03:47.216 --> 00:03:50.053
  • Especially the interview with the financial times
  • 00:03:50.053 --> 00:03:51.921
  • Where he was adamant, you know, that he's
  • 00:03:51.921 --> 00:03:53.856
  • Calling the shots in the region.
  • 00:03:53.856 --> 00:03:55.525
  • And regardless, israel have sort of gone well, actually,
  • 00:03:55.525 --> 00:03:59.095
  • We're going to do what we want anyway.
  • 00:03:59.095 --> 00:04:00.596
  • And said, look,
  • 00:04:00.596 --> 00:04:01.698
  • We have a right to
  • 00:04:01.698 --> 00:04:02.565
  • Defend ourselves. and i think that's
  • 00:04:02.565 --> 00:04:03.599
  • That's perfectly reasonable and rational.
  • 00:04:03.599 --> 00:04:05.835
  • But it just goes to show that there isn't really one
  • 00:04:05.835 --> 00:04:08.204
  • Key character, one key leader in all of this.
  • 00:04:08.204 --> 00:04:11.474
  • And it may take and i know it will make
  • 00:04:11.474 --> 00:04:14.444
  • Some people uncomfortable,
  • 00:04:14.444 --> 00:04:15.878
  • But it may take some further inducements
  • 00:04:15.878 --> 00:04:18.481
  • From the white house to get israel on board,
  • 00:04:18.481 --> 00:04:22.652
  • With what the white house now wants,
  • 00:04:22.652 --> 00:04:24.487
  • Because, you know, the white house did
  • 00:04:24.487 --> 00:04:26.155
  • What israel wants for the last couple of months.
  • 00:04:26.155 --> 00:04:28.324
  • There's no doubt about it. i'm not saying they were led.
  • 00:04:28.324 --> 00:04:30.360
  • I'm saying that they found
  • 00:04:30.360 --> 00:04:31.527
  • Neutral, common ground and they did it together.
  • 00:04:31.527 --> 00:04:34.097
  • Right.
  • 00:04:34.097 --> 00:04:35.264
  • Now israel has to decide whether or not it wants to play
  • 00:04:35.264 --> 00:04:38.468
  • A little bit more compromise.
  • 00:04:38.468 --> 00:04:39.902
  • Back.
  • 00:04:39.902 --> 00:04:40.837
  • And i'm just i'm not sure that there yet.
  • 00:04:40.837 --> 00:04:43.206
  • Yeah, i agree, you know, president
  • 00:04:43.206 --> 00:04:44.807
  • Trump took to truth social a throw up.
  • 00:04:44.807 --> 00:04:46.876
  • 136, please.
  • 00:04:46.876 --> 00:04:49.379
  • And you'll see president trump's truth here.
  • 00:04:49.379 --> 00:04:52.348
  • He's saying both sides, israel and iran are looking
  • 00:04:52.348 --> 00:04:55.885
  • To do an immediate cease fire, find no negotiations.
  • 00:04:55.885 --> 00:04:59.589
  • On peace are proceeding.
  • 00:04:59.589 --> 00:05:02.759
  • So anyways, he's basically
  • 00:05:02.759 --> 00:05:04.394
  • Willing this cease fire, he told axios.
  • 00:05:04.394 --> 00:05:07.163
  • Okay.
  • 00:05:07.163 --> 00:05:08.097
  • And they think he told the same thing to fox.
  • 00:05:08.097 --> 00:05:09.298
  • He said, listen, okay, iran shot off a couple missiles.
  • 00:05:09.298 --> 00:05:12.301
  • Israel, you shot off a couple of missiles. okay.
  • 00:05:12.301 --> 00:05:14.670
  • You know, let's a little fight.
  • 00:05:14.670 --> 00:05:16.038
  • Tomorrow will be bro's again. everybody put down their arms.
  • 00:05:16.038 --> 00:05:18.541
  • It's almost like you can feel
  • 00:05:18.541 --> 00:05:20.610
  • President trump pushing willing.
  • 00:05:20.610 --> 00:05:22.445
  • And you can imagine the
  • 00:05:22.445 --> 00:05:23.746
  • Private conversations behind the scenes.
  • 00:05:23.746 --> 00:05:25.415
  • The phone calls are a little bit more, spicy than i think.
  • 00:05:25.415 --> 00:05:28.718
  • He's gotten very used to that back
  • 00:05:28.718 --> 00:05:30.319
  • And forth song and dance of these.
  • 00:05:30.319 --> 00:05:31.721
  • Oh, they shoot off a missile to show that they're serious,
  • 00:05:31.721 --> 00:05:34.490
  • Because he's done this with iran himself several times.
  • 00:05:34.490 --> 00:05:36.659
  • Yeah, yeah.
  • 00:05:36.659 --> 00:05:37.727
  • And i think this actually shows president trump's
  • 00:05:37.727 --> 00:05:40.630
  • Leadership here.
  • 00:05:41.030 --> 00:05:41.798
  • I mean, that clip
  • 00:05:41.798 --> 00:05:42.765
  • That we started the segment off with rahim,
  • 00:05:42.765 --> 00:05:44.333
  • I think is the guiding north star
  • 00:05:44.333 --> 00:05:46.169
  • That he doesn't want to do a forever war.
  • 00:05:46.169 --> 00:05:48.337
  • This was something i knew
  • 00:05:48.337 --> 00:05:50.206
  • Charlie knew about the president very, very well.
  • 00:05:50.206 --> 00:05:53.142
  • Now, listen,
  • 00:05:53.142 --> 00:05:54.277
  • Iran was probably the biggest lift that we've seen.
  • 00:05:54.277 --> 00:05:56.345
  • It was the most, risky.
  • 00:05:56.345 --> 00:05:58.214
  • It was the
  • 00:05:58.214 --> 00:05:59.115
  • Going up against
  • 00:05:59.115 --> 00:05:59.849
  • The most populous country, it
  • 00:05:59.849 --> 00:06:01.317
  • Of any of these sort of conflicts.
  • 00:06:01.317 --> 00:06:03.019
  • So i understand people's reticence.
  • 00:06:03.019 --> 00:06:05.087
  • I understand people's, skepticism.
  • 00:06:05.087 --> 00:06:07.023
  • I've certainly been skeptical of this, of this effort.
  • 00:06:07.023 --> 00:06:09.392
  • I thought,
  • 00:06:09.392 --> 00:06:10.626
  • You know, you can start a war, but you can't always end one.
  • 00:06:10.626 --> 00:06:12.495
  • And that's really the question here.
  • 00:06:12.495 --> 00:06:14.063
  • You could get some ink on paper signed.
  • 00:06:14.063 --> 00:06:16.899
  • You could even open up the strait.
  • 00:06:16.899 --> 00:06:18.734
  • But that's not going to stop
  • 00:06:18.734 --> 00:06:19.936
  • Some of these rogue elements within iran that are hardliners
  • 00:06:19.936 --> 00:06:23.172
  • That are still vying for power and supremacy in that country
  • 00:06:23.172 --> 00:06:25.942
  • From shooting off a couple of missiles
  • 00:06:25.942 --> 00:06:27.677
  • From land to mines in the strait.
  • 00:06:27.677 --> 00:06:29.879
  • I mean, this could just sort of go on for a long time here.
  • 00:06:29.879 --> 00:06:34.717
  • I don't see the the natural way out.
  • 00:06:34.717 --> 00:06:36.719
  • And i think to your point, that's why it's a mess.
  • 00:06:36.719 --> 00:06:39.255
  • But i think trump is making his intentions very clear.
  • 00:06:39.255 --> 00:06:42.091
  • And he's sending a signal loud and clear that he's in charge.
  • 00:06:42.091 --> 00:06:45.161
  • Whether or not
  • 00:06:45.161 --> 00:06:46.195
  • He can get the deal done or not is the question.
  • 00:06:46.195 --> 00:06:48.631
  • Yeah. look, there are
  • 00:06:48.631 --> 00:06:49.632
  • There are several things to think about here.
  • 00:06:49.632 --> 00:06:51.467
  • You know, the president
  • 00:06:51.467 --> 00:06:52.502
  • Of the united states could abdicate on this now
  • 00:06:52.502 --> 00:06:55.271
  • And just say, look, i've tried we did what we needed to do.
  • 00:06:55.271 --> 00:06:58.140
  • You guys sort it out between yourselves.
  • 00:06:58.140 --> 00:06:59.742
  • But he's not doing that right.
  • 00:06:59.742 --> 00:07:01.043
  • He's still trying, to to play the role of peacemaker,
  • 00:07:01.043 --> 00:07:05.014
  • To bring people together.
  • 00:07:05.014 --> 00:07:06.148
  • I think that's, you know, it's it's it's commendable,
  • 00:07:06.148 --> 00:07:08.918
  • In its spirit
  • 00:07:08.918 --> 00:07:10.119
  • Of what he's doing, there are certain levers
  • 00:07:10.119 --> 00:07:12.655
  • That he's going to be able to pull.
  • 00:07:12.655 --> 00:07:14.323
  • And i think you'll see him pull on them this week that
  • 00:07:14.323 --> 00:07:16.792
  • That may bring those,
  • 00:07:16.792 --> 00:07:17.860
  • You know, parties back to the table again.
  • 00:07:17.860 --> 00:07:20.863
  • You know,
  • 00:07:20.863 --> 00:07:21.964
  • You know, it's not just israel and iran, by the way.
  • 00:07:21.964 --> 00:07:23.699
  • I mean, you look at the same thing with russia
  • 00:07:23.699 --> 00:07:25.301
  • And ukraine, you know, putting these people's
  • 00:07:25.301 --> 00:07:28.004
  • Heads together and saying, look,
  • 00:07:28.004 --> 00:07:30.206
  • We know you don't want to keep killing one another.
  • 00:07:30.206 --> 00:07:32.508
  • We know it's not good for either of your countries,
  • 00:07:32.508 --> 00:07:34.610
  • Either of your peoples.
  • 00:07:34.610 --> 00:07:36.012
  • But are you willing to take
  • 00:07:36.012 --> 00:07:37.313
  • The requisite steps to make that happen?
  • 00:07:37.313 --> 00:07:39.582
  • The problem is, finding that mutual ground
  • 00:07:39.582 --> 00:07:42.151
  • Is becoming more and more difficult.
  • 00:07:42.151 --> 00:07:43.519
  • And, i think the normalization,
  • 00:07:43.519 --> 00:07:46.122
  • Like you say, very hard to end these things.
  • 00:07:46.122 --> 00:07:48.157
  • Look, i was against it when it first started, but
  • 00:07:48.157 --> 00:07:50.593
  • But you also have to be realistic.
  • 00:07:50.593 --> 00:07:52.495
  • We're here now. we can't win the clock back.
  • 00:07:52.495 --> 00:07:54.664
  • We can't. we didn't build time machines.
  • 00:07:54.664 --> 00:07:56.832
  • We have to deal with what?
  • 00:07:56.832 --> 00:07:58.034
  • With the hand we dealt here.
  • 00:07:58.034 --> 00:07:59.702
  • And the hand
  • 00:07:59.702 --> 00:08:01.070
  • We dealt now
  • 00:08:01.070 --> 00:08:01.804
  • That the president has been dealt
  • 00:08:01.804 --> 00:08:03.539
  • Is this is this intransigence on both sides?
  • 00:08:03.539 --> 00:08:06.442
  • And again, not just this on the around
  • 00:08:06.442 --> 00:08:08.110
  • Happens in conflict all over the world.
  • 00:08:08.110 --> 00:08:09.745
  • Intransigence, intransigence.
  • 00:08:09.745 --> 00:08:11.414
  • And that comes from normalization.
  • 00:08:11.414 --> 00:08:13.249
  • The leaders of those countries are normalizing
  • 00:08:13.249 --> 00:08:15.651
  • The state of war for their own two peoples.
  • 00:08:15.651 --> 00:08:17.820
  • And that's what you have to break.
  • 00:08:17.820 --> 00:08:19.555
  • You know, early on in this, conflict, the idea
  • 00:08:19.555 --> 00:08:22.224
  • That the iranian people would come out on the streets
  • 00:08:22.224 --> 00:08:25.361
  • And march on the streets
  • 00:08:25.361 --> 00:08:26.529
  • And welcome this change in their government
  • 00:08:26.529 --> 00:08:28.931
  • Isn't something that's come to fruition.
  • 00:08:28.931 --> 00:08:30.733
  • I think it may be time, well, again,
  • 00:08:30.733 --> 00:08:32.969
  • To call on the iranian people and just see if there
  • 00:08:32.969 --> 00:08:35.171
  • Are those forces deliberate.
  • 00:08:35.171 --> 00:08:36.639
  • You've got great insights on all of that.
  • 00:08:36.639 --> 00:08:38.908
  • So stay right there.
  • 00:08:38.908 --> 00:08:40.242
  • More with rahim kassam
  • 00:08:40.242 --> 00:08:41.277
  • When we get back the national post polls.com.
  • 00:08:41.277 --> 00:08:47.003
  • When we get back the national post polls.com.
  • 00:08:47.003 --> 00:08:52.186
  • We have rahim kasam from
  • 00:08:52.720 --> 00:08:54.054
  • The national pulse.com editor in chief there.
  • 00:08:54.054 --> 00:08:56.890
  • Check it out.
  • 00:08:56.890 --> 00:08:58.025
  • So, rahim, there is so much going on in europe now.
  • 00:08:58.025 --> 00:09:01.795
  • This isn't just
  • 00:09:01.795 --> 00:09:02.896
  • Staying in the u.k., which is i think is interesting,
  • 00:09:02.896 --> 00:09:06.300
  • But we've gone over it in great detail in the show.
  • 00:09:06.300 --> 00:09:08.669
  • Henry novak was killed in this very tragic way.
  • 00:09:08.669 --> 00:09:11.839
  • I mean, it's sort of everything
  • 00:09:11.839 --> 00:09:13.273
  • The left wanted george floyd to be.
  • 00:09:13.273 --> 00:09:15.275
  • But upon further inspection, was not.
  • 00:09:15.275 --> 00:09:17.177
  • But this kid was actually he did nothing wrong.
  • 00:09:17.177 --> 00:09:19.913
  • He didn't hurl racist, racist insults at his killer.
  • 00:09:19.913 --> 00:09:23.450
  • The man was able to hold a basically a sword in public
  • 00:09:23.450 --> 00:09:27.588
  • When henry and other native born brits are not allowed
  • 00:09:27.588 --> 00:09:31.592
  • To even carry pepper spray, and he was killed with this
  • 00:09:31.592 --> 00:09:34.361
  • Religious exemption murder weapon,
  • 00:09:34.361 --> 00:09:37.231
  • And he said, i can't breathe.
  • 00:09:37.231 --> 00:09:38.832
  • And the cops denied it.
  • 00:09:38.832 --> 00:09:40.034
  • And the poor guy bled out on the streets.
  • 00:09:40.034 --> 00:09:42.703
  • And we didn't hear about this
  • 00:09:42.703 --> 00:09:43.737
  • For six months, raheem six months.
  • 00:09:43.737 --> 00:09:46.540
  • And then of course, outrage has ensued.
  • 00:09:46.540 --> 00:09:49.343
  • Tell us what's happening on the streets in
  • 00:09:49.343 --> 00:09:51.245
  • The uk, but then also beyond.
  • 00:09:51.245 --> 00:09:54.648
  • Well, you
  • 00:09:54.948 --> 00:09:56.116
  • Know, i can't think of this case
  • 00:09:56.116 --> 00:09:58.819
  • And even see a picture of henry novak, let alone
  • 00:09:58.819 --> 00:10:02.456
  • Watch that footage again without feeling,
  • 00:10:02.456 --> 00:10:05.793
  • You know, angry and disgusted
  • 00:10:05.793 --> 00:10:08.929
  • And and just let down in,
  • 00:10:08.929 --> 00:10:12.866
  • You know, a lot of these things that our governments do
  • 00:10:12.866 --> 00:10:17.004
  • Are very predictable and very dull, very eye rolling.
  • 00:10:17.004 --> 00:10:21.075
  • And you sort of just go, oh, you know, stupid.
  • 00:10:21.075 --> 00:10:24.011
  • This is different.
  • 00:10:24.011 --> 00:10:25.245
  • This is this is the state,
  • 00:10:25.245 --> 00:10:27.614
  • The police being informed that they necessarily
  • 00:10:27.614 --> 00:10:32.152
  • Must treat people with foreign ethnic backgrounds
  • 00:10:32.152 --> 00:10:36.757
  • As more privileged as, as with greater sensitivity
  • 00:10:36.757 --> 00:10:41.361
  • And with greater, emphasis on their claims than white
  • 00:10:41.361 --> 00:10:47.000
  • People, not just the, you know, native british born people.
  • 00:10:47.000 --> 00:10:51.438
  • But this is this is necessarily skin color
  • 00:10:51.438 --> 00:10:54.875
  • That they're talking about that
  • 00:10:54.875 --> 00:10:56.009
  • Delineates how a police force treats you,
  • 00:10:56.009 --> 00:11:00.047
  • Not just as you're walking down the street,
  • 00:11:00.047 --> 00:11:01.548
  • But when you're
  • 00:11:01.548 --> 00:11:02.716
  • Being pulled over in a car, but as a life threatening
  • 00:11:02.716 --> 00:11:06.053
  • And as we saw in this case, life ending
  • 00:11:06.053 --> 00:11:09.289
  • Altercation is happening in real time.
  • 00:11:09.289 --> 00:11:12.693
  • So you can imagine, and i'm sure lots of your audience
  • 00:11:12.693 --> 00:11:15.729
  • Has seen the scenes of what's been going on
  • 00:11:15.729 --> 00:11:18.499
  • Across the united kingdom as a result of this,
  • 00:11:18.499 --> 00:11:21.435
  • The anchors pouring out into the streets.
  • 00:11:21.435 --> 00:11:23.937
  • And i can't blame people for that.
  • 00:11:23.937 --> 00:11:25.906
  • Do i hope that there's riots and other people get hurt?
  • 00:11:25.906 --> 00:11:29.510
  • Of course not.
  • 00:11:29.510 --> 00:11:31.245
  • But the demonstrations, the protests, they're all welcome.
  • 00:11:31.245 --> 00:11:35.449
  • They should be welcome.
  • 00:11:35.449 --> 00:11:36.583
  • The police have to take a long, hard look at themselves
  • 00:11:36.583 --> 00:11:39.820
  • And more than anything, the guidance that police forces
  • 00:11:39.820 --> 00:11:43.791
  • Are given is two tier guidance needs to come to an end.
  • 00:11:43.791 --> 00:11:48.028
  • Not that when the next government comes into power.
  • 00:11:48.028 --> 00:11:52.132
  • But today, and unfortunately, this labor government
  • 00:11:52.132 --> 00:11:55.869
  • Is showing no signs.
  • 00:11:55.869 --> 00:11:57.204
  • You know, you saw two tier police response.
  • 00:11:57.204 --> 00:11:59.606
  • You now seeing a two tier government response
  • 00:11:59.606 --> 00:12:03.076
  • When it was george floyd.
  • 00:12:03.076 --> 00:12:04.244
  • Even in the united kingdom, when it was george floyd,
  • 00:12:04.244 --> 00:12:06.880
  • Everybody got on their hands and knees and grovel for months
  • 00:12:06.880 --> 00:12:09.783
  • And years on end.
  • 00:12:09.783 --> 00:12:10.951
  • The english premier league, the big soccer league.
  • 00:12:10.951 --> 00:12:13.353
  • The players took the knee
  • 00:12:13.353 --> 00:12:14.388
  • At the beginning of matches for two years.
  • 00:12:14.388 --> 00:12:16.890
  • Have we seen any of that for henry novak?
  • 00:12:16.890 --> 00:12:19.259
  • We have not.
  • 00:12:19.259 --> 00:12:20.894
  • Yeah.
  • 00:12:20.894 --> 00:12:21.395
  • And you're talking
  • 00:12:21.395 --> 00:12:22.496
  • About a race action plan that these police follow.
  • 00:12:22.496 --> 00:12:24.998
  • That is to to your point,
  • 00:12:24.998 --> 00:12:26.567
  • It's intentionally racist against white people.
  • 00:12:26.567 --> 00:12:28.769
  • And we've seen other horrifying things.
  • 00:12:28.769 --> 00:12:30.737
  • It's come out now that the police in the area,
  • 00:12:30.737 --> 00:12:34.007
  • Even after they had ample reason
  • 00:12:34.007 --> 00:12:35.676
  • To believe that this was a lie,
  • 00:12:35.676 --> 00:12:37.311
  • That novak had done nothing wrong,
  • 00:12:37.311 --> 00:12:39.012
  • That they were planning to put out statements
  • 00:12:39.012 --> 00:12:41.348
  • Suggesting he had been the aggressor
  • 00:12:41.348 --> 00:12:43.350
  • Because they, you know, you have to tamp down
  • 00:12:43.350 --> 00:12:45.519
  • Everything in britain.
  • 00:12:45.519 --> 00:12:46.820
  • It feel raheem, it feels in britain
  • 00:12:46.820 --> 00:12:48.488
  • Like the police have this attitude
  • 00:12:48.488 --> 00:12:50.324
  • Of we're occupying a country and we have to do
  • 00:12:50.324 --> 00:12:53.927
  • Whatever is possible to keep the restive population
  • 00:12:53.927 --> 00:12:57.097
  • From having some kind of uprising.
  • 00:12:57.097 --> 00:12:58.665
  • The natives will get restless.
  • 00:12:58.665 --> 00:13:00.734
  • Yeah.
  • 00:13:00.968 --> 00:13:01.401
  • That's right.
  • 00:13:01.401 --> 00:13:02.369
  • I mean, all of the thought we've heard over
  • 00:13:02.369 --> 00:13:03.737
  • Multiculturalism and social cohesion,
  • 00:13:03.737 --> 00:13:05.806
  • You know, the likes of three of us have understood
  • 00:13:05.806 --> 00:13:08.575
  • What those are all, dog whistles for all these years.
  • 00:13:08.575 --> 00:13:12.379
  • You know, certainly the man
  • 00:13:12.379 --> 00:13:13.881
  • I wrote a book about, years ago,
  • 00:13:13.881 --> 00:13:16.116
  • You know, powell knew what all of those things were about.
  • 00:13:16.116 --> 00:13:19.453
  • Now, the british public
  • 00:13:19.453 --> 00:13:20.687
  • Have woken up to what all those things are about.
  • 00:13:20.687 --> 00:13:23.223
  • They are.
  • 00:13:23.223 --> 00:13:23.757
  • They are buzzwords.
  • 00:13:23.757 --> 00:13:25.192
  • They are weak phrases that are really, really meant
  • 00:13:25.192 --> 00:13:28.929
  • To suggest, actually, an anti white supremacy
  • 00:13:28.929 --> 00:13:32.499
  • That's going on in britain. right.
  • 00:13:32.499 --> 00:13:33.600
  • Exactly right. well said.
  • 00:13:33.600 --> 00:13:34.968
  • Anti-white supremacy.
  • 00:13:34.968 --> 00:13:36.436
  • Now i want to get into reform versus restore.
  • 00:13:36.436 --> 00:13:39.439
  • Okay.
  • 00:13:39.439 --> 00:13:40.607
  • So if i look on the internet, i am very much convinced
  • 00:13:40.607 --> 00:13:43.677
  • That nigel farage is going to come out on immigration.
  • 00:13:43.677 --> 00:13:46.546
  • And rupert lowe is the is the real hardliner here.
  • 00:13:46.546 --> 00:13:50.150
  • And then i saw this video of you, and i had
  • 00:13:50.150 --> 00:13:54.621
  • I had never seen these clips before.
  • 00:13:54.621 --> 00:13:56.356
  • 31 in fact,
  • 00:13:56.356 --> 00:13:57.691
  • Rupert lowe is actually weaker on a lot of the mass
  • 00:13:57.691 --> 00:14:00.327
  • Deportation stuff
  • 00:14:00.327 --> 00:14:01.428
  • Than reform is the interviews that he's done
  • 00:14:01.428 --> 00:14:03.530
  • With jacob rees-mogg, the interviews
  • 00:14:03.530 --> 00:14:05.232
  • He's done with spectator and gb news over
  • 00:14:05.232 --> 00:14:07.801
  • The last couple of months show that to be the case, though
  • 00:14:07.801 --> 00:14:09.770
  • I don't think intellectually i'm against immigration.
  • 00:14:09.770 --> 00:14:12.639
  • I have never said
  • 00:14:12.639 --> 00:14:14.007
  • We should deport people who are here legally.
  • 00:14:14.007 --> 00:14:16.543
  • That's not something i think we should be talking about.
  • 00:14:16.543 --> 00:14:19.613
  • Legal immigration is more more difficult.
  • 00:14:19.613 --> 00:14:21.481
  • I've never talked about repatriation.
  • 00:14:21.481 --> 00:14:23.150
  • Repatriation is a much more difficult subject.
  • 00:14:23.150 --> 00:14:25.452
  • I don't agree
  • 00:14:25.452 --> 00:14:26.653
  • With nigel farage in saying that,
  • 00:14:26.653 --> 00:14:28.522
  • You know, all these people should be repatriated.
  • 00:14:28.522 --> 00:14:30.691
  • You can't once you've legally accepted people.
  • 00:14:30.691 --> 00:14:33.226
  • This is all code
  • 00:14:33.226 --> 00:14:34.027
  • For deportation, deportations, right?
  • 00:14:34.027 --> 00:14:35.762
  • I mean, it's essentially de naturalization.
  • 00:14:35.762 --> 00:14:37.597
  • What okay.
  • 00:14:37.597 --> 00:14:38.832
  • Makes sense of it. rahim, you got the last two minutes.
  • 00:14:38.832 --> 00:14:41.101
  • The floor is all yours.
  • 00:14:41.101 --> 00:14:42.869
  • Look, very quickly, because i know we've only got
  • 00:14:42.869 --> 00:14:44.905
  • Two minutes.
  • 00:14:44.905 --> 00:14:45.906
  • Nigel farage and rupert lowe, worked together
  • 00:14:45.906 --> 00:14:48.976
  • For a long time.
  • 00:14:48.976 --> 00:14:49.776
  • There was a big falling out,
  • 00:14:49.776 --> 00:14:51.411
  • You know, internecine party politics.
  • 00:14:51.411 --> 00:14:55.048
  • He said this. she said that whatever.
  • 00:14:55.048 --> 00:14:57.484
  • Right now, they're leading two separate parties on the right.
  • 00:14:57.484 --> 00:15:01.254
  • Nigel farage is obviously mr.
  • 00:15:01.254 --> 00:15:03.090
  • Brexit.
  • 00:15:03.090 --> 00:15:03.957
  • He's done this for 30 years now
  • 00:15:03.957 --> 00:15:06.293
  • Banging the drum on immigration, banging
  • 00:15:06.293 --> 00:15:08.428
  • The drum on the illegals coming over the channel.
  • 00:15:08.428 --> 00:15:10.464
  • He himself has been there.
  • 00:15:10.464 --> 00:15:11.698
  • He was talking about rape and grooming gangs back in 2012.
  • 00:15:11.698 --> 00:15:16.203
  • Ukip, his previous party ran on it in 2014,
  • 00:15:16.203 --> 00:15:20.107
  • Pilloried by the establishment, of course, for it, but
  • 00:15:20.107 --> 00:15:23.477
  • Was one of the first out there, as a politician to do it.
  • 00:15:23.477 --> 00:15:27.014
  • When rupert lowe was kicked out of reform, last year,
  • 00:15:27.014 --> 00:15:30.417
  • It was the first time he ever spoke
  • 00:15:30.417 --> 00:15:31.952
  • About grooming gangs, the first time ever in 2025.
  • 00:15:31.952 --> 00:15:36.023
  • And it's made it sort of his little thing now.
  • 00:15:36.023 --> 00:15:38.558
  • And that's fine.
  • 00:15:38.558 --> 00:15:39.326
  • By the way, i think more voices on
  • 00:15:39.326 --> 00:15:40.761
  • On a topic like that better.
  • 00:15:40.761 --> 00:15:42.496
  • But i also think,
  • 00:15:42.496 --> 00:15:44.031
  • You know, running,
  • 00:15:44.031 --> 00:15:45.165
  • You know, supposedly to the right of nigel farrell's.
  • 00:15:45.165 --> 00:15:47.534
  • But then you see from those clips is not really true.
  • 00:15:47.534 --> 00:15:49.603
  • And the spectator has a great article on it as well.
  • 00:15:49.603 --> 00:15:52.672
  • And splitting the right wing vote.
  • 00:15:52.672 --> 00:15:54.674
  • Well, what that means,
  • 00:15:54.674 --> 00:15:56.076
  • And we've got a special election coming up on june
  • 00:15:56.076 --> 00:15:58.178
  • The 18th in the uk that will bear this out.
  • 00:15:58.178 --> 00:16:00.447
  • What that actually means
  • 00:16:00.447 --> 00:16:01.748
  • Is that the labor party are likely to get another
  • 00:16:01.748 --> 00:16:04.618
  • Five years in power, or if you think joe biden
  • 00:16:04.618 --> 00:16:08.355
  • Flooded the us while he was in office,
  • 00:16:08.355 --> 00:16:11.825
  • You know, we think about what a far left labor party would do
  • 00:16:11.825 --> 00:16:15.929
  • If the right cannot come together and agree.
  • 00:16:15.929 --> 00:16:19.032
  • Hey, listen, there's one party here that is established.
  • 00:16:19.032 --> 00:16:22.069
  • Its role has pulled top in the last 300 polls across
  • 00:16:22.069 --> 00:16:25.272
  • The country is ready for government, has a shadow
  • 00:16:25.272 --> 00:16:28.308
  • Cabinet, is ready to go with the manifesto and listen.
  • 00:16:28.308 --> 00:16:31.745
  • Like i say, i totally understand
  • 00:16:31.745 --> 00:16:33.580
  • The people that want harder
  • 00:16:33.580 --> 00:16:34.848
  • Talk and harder lines on the internet.
  • 00:16:34.848 --> 00:16:36.416
  • That's fine. there's a place for it.
  • 00:16:36.416 --> 00:16:37.851
  • But when it comes to the voting booth,
  • 00:16:37.851 --> 00:16:39.786
  • I'll stick with reform.
  • 00:16:39.786 --> 00:16:41.521
  • Well, we like nigel.
  • 00:16:41.988 --> 00:16:43.323
  • I'm trying to get nigel on the show here soon, and,
  • 00:16:43.323 --> 00:16:46.026
  • I think that's going to happen
  • 00:16:46.026 --> 00:16:47.127
  • Because i think it is terrifying.
  • 00:16:47.127 --> 00:16:50.664
  • What labor would do to that country
  • 00:16:50.664 --> 00:16:52.132
  • If given five more years.
  • 00:16:52.132 --> 00:16:53.266
  • Something's got to be done. rahim.
  • 00:16:53.266 --> 00:16:54.935
  • And we're here to help as much as we can.
  • 00:16:54.935 --> 00:16:57.070
  • God bless you, my friend.
  • 00:16:57.070 --> 00:16:58.004
  • We'll talk to you soon.
  • 00:16:58.004 --> 00:17:02.997
  • We'll talk to you soon.
  • 00:17:02.997 --> 00:17:08.574
  • We've got updates in the iranian israel.
  • 00:17:09.408 --> 00:17:12.344
  • Yeah, they're happening live.
  • 00:17:12.344 --> 00:17:13.846
  • Following this with rapt attention.
  • 00:17:13.846 --> 00:17:15.614
  • We want this conflict to end.
  • 00:17:15.614 --> 00:17:17.616
  • We're very
  • 00:17:17.616 --> 00:17:20.152
  • I've heard enough about iran for a lifetime.
  • 00:17:20.152 --> 00:17:22.221
  • I will say, but there's promising signs.
  • 00:17:22.221 --> 00:17:24.857
  • So just breaking
  • 00:17:24.857 --> 00:17:26.525
  • Now i'm looking at the breaking news ticker.
  • 00:17:26.525 --> 00:17:28.093
  • Is that netanyahu has said
  • 00:17:28.093 --> 00:17:30.362
  • Israel is done striking iran for the time being,
  • 00:17:30.362 --> 00:17:33.265
  • Which is what president trump was saying.
  • 00:17:33.265 --> 00:17:34.500
  • Stop hitting them.
  • 00:17:34.500 --> 00:17:35.400
  • And iran says
  • 00:17:35.400 --> 00:17:36.502
  • They're also halting their strikes against israel.
  • 00:17:36.502 --> 00:17:39.438
  • They do say they will resume if there are more strikes
  • 00:17:39.438 --> 00:17:42.007
  • In southern lebanon.
  • 00:17:42.007 --> 00:17:43.208
  • That's been,
  • 00:17:43.208 --> 00:17:44.309
  • Of course, the source of constant tension there.
  • 00:17:44.309 --> 00:17:46.745
  • It's basically the second front of this war,
  • 00:17:46.745 --> 00:17:48.747
  • Arguably the main one.
  • 00:17:48.747 --> 00:17:50.048
  • I think more people have died in lebanon
  • 00:17:50.048 --> 00:17:51.550
  • At this point than have died in iran.
  • 00:17:51.550 --> 00:17:53.685
  • It's an important distinction. yeah.
  • 00:17:53.685 --> 00:17:55.621
  • And by the way,
  • 00:17:55.621 --> 00:17:56.588
  • There was a report over the weekend
  • 00:17:56.588 --> 00:17:58.056
  • And this is something i'm looking at,
  • 00:17:58.056 --> 00:18:01.059
  • But it was
  • 00:18:01.360 --> 00:18:02.561
  • Reported the new york times that the trump admin is seeing
  • 00:18:02.561 --> 00:18:05.564
  • Increasing threat of espionage from israel over
  • 00:18:05.564 --> 00:18:09.001
  • The iran deal.
  • 00:18:09.001 --> 00:18:09.635
  • So as trump is pushing
  • 00:18:09.635 --> 00:18:11.270
  • More and more for peace, israel wants to sort of,
  • 00:18:11.270 --> 00:18:14.806
  • I guess, finish the finish the regime off in iran,
  • 00:18:14.806 --> 00:18:18.677
  • There is increased concern that there might be
  • 00:18:19.645 --> 00:18:22.381
  • Some espionage going on from israel side.
  • 00:18:22.381 --> 00:18:24.283
  • Now, let me just be clear.
  • 00:18:24.283 --> 00:18:26.084
  • We've known this.
  • 00:18:26.084 --> 00:18:27.219
  • It happens both ways.
  • 00:18:27.219 --> 00:18:28.654
  • The united states spies on allies as well as foes.
  • 00:18:28.654 --> 00:18:31.990
  • This is, a constant thing.
  • 00:18:31.990 --> 00:18:33.992
  • But when you see it ramp
  • 00:18:33.992 --> 00:18:35.194
  • Up, when our objectives seem to be divergent more and more.
  • 00:18:35.194 --> 00:18:39.364
  • So that shows just how much space is gathering
  • 00:18:39.364 --> 00:18:42.568
  • Between bibi and president trump here.
  • 00:18:42.568 --> 00:18:44.803
  • It's very clear.
  • 00:18:44.803 --> 00:18:45.938
  • It just it confirms a few things.
  • 00:18:45.938 --> 00:18:47.539
  • First, it just it confirms the lie.
  • 00:18:47.539 --> 00:18:49.408
  • President trump is not
  • 00:18:49.408 --> 00:18:51.577
  • Puppet.
  • 00:18:51.810 --> 00:18:52.678
  • He's not this guy who just obeys him.
  • 00:18:52.678 --> 00:18:54.446
  • And i think they have differences
  • 00:18:54.446 --> 00:18:55.814
  • And there's friction between them.
  • 00:18:55.814 --> 00:18:57.482
  • This breaking news now it also it affirms
  • 00:18:57.482 --> 00:19:00.419
  • Frankly what we've warned about
  • 00:19:00.419 --> 00:19:02.120
  • Which is it's easier to get in conflicts than to get out.
  • 00:19:02.120 --> 00:19:04.122
  • We've seen this struggle go back and forth,
  • 00:19:04.122 --> 00:19:06.425
  • But it also shows that president trump,
  • 00:19:06.425 --> 00:19:09.194
  • I think, is a he's very earnest
  • 00:19:09.194 --> 00:19:10.629
  • About wanting to achieve a durable, long term peace.
  • 00:19:10.629 --> 00:19:13.398
  • I think he went into this conflict thinking,
  • 00:19:13.398 --> 00:19:16.368
  • I want to be the one who finally ends this
  • 00:19:16.368 --> 00:19:19.004
  • Cancer that's been going for nearly half a century now.
  • 00:19:19.004 --> 00:19:22.007
  • Yeah.
  • 00:19:22.007 --> 00:19:22.541
  • And i mean, listen,
  • 00:19:22.541 --> 00:19:23.508
  • President trump went off on bibi netanyahu.
  • 00:19:23.508 --> 00:19:26.144
  • They had that very stern call where he said, knock it off,
  • 00:19:26.144 --> 00:19:29.581
  • Stop the strikes. i want peace.
  • 00:19:29.581 --> 00:19:31.350
  • Let's get this thing over the finish line.
  • 00:19:31.350 --> 00:19:33.685
  • To blake's point,
  • 00:19:34.119 --> 00:19:35.520
  • To all the people that were saying
  • 00:19:35.520 --> 00:19:36.989
  • That trump is just bibi's puppet,
  • 00:19:36.989 --> 00:19:38.957
  • You're having a tough time right now
  • 00:19:38.957 --> 00:19:40.592
  • With the reporting because president trump expletive
  • 00:19:40.592 --> 00:19:43.996
  • Laced call where president trump told him what to do.
  • 00:19:43.996 --> 00:19:47.099
  • You see the multiple truth posts
  • 00:19:47.099 --> 00:19:48.667
  • Where president trump is telling them,
  • 00:19:48.667 --> 00:19:50.235
  • Hey, knock it off. we want peace.
  • 00:19:50.235 --> 00:19:52.137
  • Stop throwing missiles at each other,
  • 00:19:52.137 --> 00:19:53.639
  • Stop lobbing missiles at israel and israel.
  • 00:19:53.639 --> 00:19:56.174
  • Stop lobbing missiles at iran.
  • 00:19:56.174 --> 00:19:58.010
  • Okay, you fired off your missiles.
  • 00:19:58.010 --> 00:19:59.878
  • We want peace.
  • 00:19:59.878 --> 00:20:01.013
  • I genuinely believe
  • 00:20:01.013 --> 00:20:02.648
  • Knowing what i know
  • 00:20:02.648 --> 00:20:04.216
  • About president trump watching him, observing him
  • 00:20:04.216 --> 00:20:06.285
  • Over the years, there's a part of him
  • 00:20:06.285 --> 00:20:07.586
  • That is probably a little bit bored of this conflict,
  • 00:20:07.586 --> 00:20:10.155
  • Thinks he accomplished his mission, wants to be able
  • 00:20:10.155 --> 00:20:12.524
  • To go in and get the nuclear test.
  • 00:20:12.524 --> 00:20:13.992
  • By the way, he spoke with,
  • 00:20:13.992 --> 00:20:15.894
  • Kristen welker before he walked off about this.
  • 00:20:15.894 --> 00:20:19.264
  • And i think he made a fair point, 39 you've called it
  • 00:20:19.264 --> 00:20:22.668
  • Nuclear dust. yeah.
  • 00:20:22.668 --> 00:20:24.703
  • Will you and would you be open to sending in u.s.
  • 00:20:24.703 --> 00:20:27.906
  • Forces to retrieve the nuclear stuff?
  • 00:20:27.906 --> 00:20:30.742
  • The official name is highly enriched uranium.
  • 00:20:30.742 --> 00:20:34.279
  • The way you do it is if we make a deal.
  • 00:20:34.279 --> 00:20:36.281
  • If we make it do that now, we're friends.
  • 00:20:36.281 --> 00:20:37.783
  • We'll go together.
  • 00:20:37.783 --> 00:20:39.384
  • It'll be our equipment.
  • 00:20:39.384 --> 00:20:40.786
  • We'll take it out and destroy it.
  • 00:20:40.786 --> 00:20:42.421
  • Whether it's on site or whether we take it off site.
  • 00:20:42.421 --> 00:20:45.090
  • If we don't make a deal, then
  • 00:20:45.090 --> 00:20:47.025
  • We're going to take them out militarily, very harshly,
  • 00:20:47.025 --> 00:20:50.562
  • And we'll wait till we do that before we go.
  • 00:20:50.562 --> 00:20:53.932
  • President is making his intentions very clear.
  • 00:20:53.932 --> 00:20:56.268
  • He's saying, take the deal. it's a good deal.
  • 00:20:56.268 --> 00:20:58.904
  • You guys will get some more money into your coffers,
  • 00:20:58.904 --> 00:21:01.306
  • About $500 million a day.
  • 00:21:01.306 --> 00:21:03.008
  • We'll ease sanctions as you make
  • 00:21:03.008 --> 00:21:04.943
  • Step by step incremental progress.
  • 00:21:04.943 --> 00:21:07.446
  • And here's israel saying, listen, we've still got them
  • 00:21:07.446 --> 00:21:09.948
  • Funding lebanon.
  • 00:21:09.948 --> 00:21:10.749
  • And by the way, i just want to say
  • 00:21:10.749 --> 00:21:11.983
  • Israel has a valid point.
  • 00:21:11.983 --> 00:21:13.352
  • Even raheem kassam said this.
  • 00:21:13.352 --> 00:21:14.619
  • Like,
  • 00:21:14.619 --> 00:21:15.253
  • If you're striking israel,
  • 00:21:15.253 --> 00:21:16.455
  • Israel has a right to defend itself and you've got a big
  • 00:21:16.455 --> 00:21:20.092
  • Hezbollah problem in the south of lebanon.
  • 00:21:20.092 --> 00:21:22.527
  • And just to be clear, i mean, iran has denied
  • 00:21:22.527 --> 00:21:26.698
  • That it is backing hezbollah.
  • 00:21:26.698 --> 00:21:27.966
  • For years, everybody knew it was not true,
  • 00:21:27.966 --> 00:21:29.468
  • But they've denied it.
  • 00:21:29.468 --> 00:21:30.469
  • They should be technically separate entities.
  • 00:21:30.469 --> 00:21:32.104
  • But iran wants to include hezbollah in the potential
  • 00:21:32.104 --> 00:21:35.674
  • Peace peace deal here, which
  • 00:21:35.674 --> 00:21:37.676
  • That kind of gives up the code.
  • 00:21:38.310 --> 00:21:39.478
  • It gives up the fact that israel, iran is sponsoring
  • 00:21:39.478 --> 00:21:43.081
  • Terror cells throughout that region.
  • 00:21:43.081 --> 00:21:45.016
  • So israel has a point.
  • 00:21:45.016 --> 00:21:46.651
  • But the bottom line is president trump is pushing for
  • 00:21:46.651 --> 00:21:48.887
  • Peace, is the peace through strength, president.
  • 00:21:48.887 --> 00:21:51.957
  • And all the data points that we're seeing right now
  • 00:21:51.957 --> 00:21:55.193
  • Only affirms the fact that he's not being led and dog
  • 00:21:55.193 --> 00:21:58.497
  • Walked into anything.
  • 00:21:58.497 --> 00:21:59.431
  • He's leading this charge.
  • 00:21:59.431 --> 00:22:01.066
  • He is setting the terms.
  • 00:22:01.066 --> 00:22:02.567
  • And that's important.
  • 00:22:02.567 --> 00:22:03.635
  • The big picture thing, like we talk to young people
  • 00:22:03.635 --> 00:22:06.238
  • On the show,
  • 00:22:06.238 --> 00:22:07.305
  • We always ask them, how do people feel about iran?
  • 00:22:07.305 --> 00:22:08.940
  • We know they don't like it.
  • 00:22:08.940 --> 00:22:11.209
  • We know it's a big struggle.
  • 00:22:11.209 --> 00:22:12.577
  • We know this is the most the most difficult thing.
  • 00:22:12.577 --> 00:22:15.046
  • That's the muslim coalition.
  • 00:22:15.046 --> 00:22:16.248
  • Yeah. and it's a challenge.
  • 00:22:16.248 --> 00:22:18.216
  • Now, you can react to this in two ways.
  • 00:22:18.216 --> 00:22:20.886
  • You can decide to complain this is not what you wanted.
  • 00:22:20.886 --> 00:22:24.322
  • And you can crash out and say it's all over
  • 00:22:24.322 --> 00:22:27.459
  • Or i'll be frank, you can do it.
  • 00:22:27.459 --> 00:22:29.394
  • Charlie would do.
  • 00:22:29.394 --> 00:22:30.362
  • And we know that charlie would have argued
  • 00:22:30.362 --> 00:22:31.797
  • Against this intervention.
  • 00:22:31.797 --> 00:22:32.798
  • But we know that we also want america to win,
  • 00:22:32.798 --> 00:22:36.601
  • And we want america to succeed, and we want president
  • 00:22:36.601 --> 00:22:40.405
  • Trump to succeed in his objective.
  • 00:22:40.405 --> 00:22:41.773
  • President trump wants to end what has been a half century
  • 00:22:41.773 --> 00:22:45.911
  • Long canker sore on american foreign policy.
  • 00:22:45.911 --> 00:22:49.648
  • He thinks i'm a dealmaker.
  • 00:22:49.648 --> 00:22:51.783
  • I can strike challenging deals.
  • 00:22:51.783 --> 00:22:54.119
  • The abraham accords were tough deals.
  • 00:22:54.119 --> 00:22:55.620
  • This is a tough deal.
  • 00:22:55.620 --> 00:22:57.088
  • I can be the one who, as tough as it is,
  • 00:22:57.088 --> 00:22:59.491
  • Finally gets this resolved.
  • 00:22:59.491 --> 00:23:00.692
  • So there's not
  • 00:23:00.692 --> 00:23:01.927
  • A future american president who's trying to resolve this,
  • 00:23:01.927 --> 00:23:04.629
  • And we want him to succeed at that period,
  • 00:23:04.629 --> 00:23:08.567
  • Yeah,
  • 00:23:08.800 --> 00:23:09.601
  • You we got to root for america here.
  • 00:23:09.601 --> 00:23:11.903
  • And we had to say it again, democrats are unacceptable.
  • 00:23:11.903 --> 00:23:15.874
  • What they will do to this
  • 00:23:15.874 --> 00:23:16.808
  • Country if given power or if they take power,
  • 00:23:16.808 --> 00:23:19.644
  • Will be catastrophic for now and for the future.
  • 00:23:20.645 --> 00:23:24.216
  • We have to stop it.
  • 00:23:24.216 --> 00:23:24.216
