00:00:00.000This is a world war, just because there are many people that don't yet want to acknowledge that, because many don't want to admit that this war that would take a couple days, maybe a few weeks, it would be over when Donald Trump wanted it to be over.
00:00:17.520we are now going on to 153 days, which is what, by the math here, that's five months and three days
00:00:27.220or 21 weeks and six days. So we're basically in the second trimester of this birth of World War
00:00:35.300III. As much as the United States is protected against bombs dropping in central Oklahoma or
00:00:42.220southern california uh the the the nature of the impact of uh to the economy uh to our our
00:00:49.700agriculture to food physically food on the table you know that impact we haven't felt yet but that
00:01:00.440that whiplash is coming the the whip has already been struck and it's going down the line and it
00:01:07.120just it hasn't cracked at the end of the whip the tsunami here and at home but it's coming
00:01:11.300The tsunami, the water is going out away from the beach and everyone's just staying. Oh, hey, look, there's a fish on the beach. That's it's a shark. Wow. It's a whale. And then you see the water start to come in 100 percent.
00:01:24.600And as and for some, as they sit there and watch the water come back, they they think, oh, look, there's so much more beautiful sand on the beach. Oh, look, this water is coming back.
00:01:34.800Well, we'll have a beautiful day at the beach of water. It's like, well, no, it's it's actually going to wipe out everything for the next, you know, 10 miles inland.
00:02:50.680I had a very important conversation with him about what's been going on right now overseas.
00:02:54.860And really, it's World War E, World War Epstein, World War Energy, whatever you want to call it.
00:03:00.500We have that like thousand kilometers of conflict.
00:03:02.860And just as you see things developing before I get into breaking news, where do things stand?
00:03:08.780Well, I think it's appropriate that this conflict that initiated on the 28th of February is now a world war.
00:03:19.840If you consider the regional aspects directly involved in the shooting war, Iran, the United States, Saudi Arabia, Egypt has now been drawn directly into this, the UAE, Jordan, Bahrain, Kuwait, Oman,
00:03:44.900all directly involved, and by proxy, and who kind of started it, Israel.
00:03:53.440So when you consider in the region, directly involved in this ever-growing, out-of-control
00:03:59.780conflict, but then you also have influence from other nation, powerful nations, such
00:04:10.060as Russia, China, Pakistan, India, directly involved. This is a world war, just because
00:04:20.040there are many people that don't yet want to acknowledge that, because many don't want to
00:04:26.400admit that this war that would take a couple days, maybe a few weeks, it would be over when Donald
00:04:33.620Trump wanted it to be over. We are now going on to 153 days, which is what by the math here,
00:04:42.660that's that's five months in three days or 21 weeks and six days. So we're we're basically in
00:04:48.280the in the second trimester of this birth of World War Three. That's a stunning and stark way to put
00:04:56.160it. But I think that's pretty much true. And to the people that deny it's a war, some people
00:05:00.920acknowledge it's a war now. They say it wasn't a war before. We say you don't get to pick and
00:05:05.460choose when the bombs start flying, when the people start start dying. It's not a matter of
00:05:10.240saying, oh, we still consider this to be a limited conflict. The Iranians don't. They don't. They
00:05:15.560think they're at war existentially. So if we don't we if we act like we don't also hold that position,
00:05:22.500we're lying because that is very clearly how our government feels about it. It's existential.
00:05:26.460Iran must not have a nuclear weapon. What that really means is we must have the regime change.
00:05:32.120What do you think? Well, yeah, you know, Americans are very fortunate and blessed to our geography
00:05:41.360that we have a a a country to our north and a country to our south that we are not at war with
00:05:47.820and two massive oceans to our west and east to where are bombs dropping on American soil?
00:05:55.560No. But are we seeing the economic impacts already that are only going to get worse?
00:06:02.000Yes. And much like World War One, you know, there was a world war that already broke out throughout Europe that the United States wasn't involved in until we were.
00:06:12.820And then the United States acknowledged that, oh, yeah, this is a world war because we're involved in it.
00:06:19.060So is is this a existential fight for Iran? Yes, it is.
00:06:25.560Is this an existential fight for countries like Bahrain and the UAE and Oman and Kuwait?
00:06:31.800It absolutely is. Is this an existential fight for the sovereignty and independence of Iraq that is now directly pulled into this because of the Kurdish population and because the United States is influencing politics in Iraq based on what we want from this conflict?
00:06:50.840So the Americans are, you know, we saw it in World War I. We saw it in World War II. We saw it in the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan to where the United States is often late to acknowledge the reality because we're blessed of our geography.
00:07:10.920But that, too, can change to where this war is only going to get deeper in pulling other nations directly into it to where the United States will have no choice but to have either boots on the ground, whether it's limited or not.
00:07:37.300I don't think that we can control anymore whether that will be limited or not.
00:07:41.180Well, can I go there with you direction we're heading?
00:07:56.760Netanyahu Trump reportedly weighed imposing land blockade against Iran, prime minister
00:08:02.200and king of the United States, Benjamin Netanyahu and U.S.
00:08:05.340President Donald Trump met in the Oval Office on July 28th. According to the report, the pair
00:08:10.840discussed pressuring Iran through kinetic and non-kinetic means. That means failed color
00:08:16.920revolution and failed bombing because both those things we tried and they don't work. So it's
00:08:20.640literally that the definition of insanity amid a standoff following months of fighting.
00:08:26.540What if you just block the land? Suppose Iran can't bring anything in and cannot take anything
00:08:32.060out. Anything will happen. A senior Israeli official is quoted as saying. And I watched
00:08:37.400Daniel Davis talk about this this morning. He said they couldn't they couldn't control one
00:08:40.800province of of Afghanistan, much less, you know, blocking the entire Iranian border.
00:08:45.960What's your take on that? And give the people your background. So so my background, I'm a
00:08:53.620former U.S. Army lieutenant colonel. I served for 25 years as a Special Forces Green Beret.
00:09:00.520I served as a as not only a detachment commander, a company commander, a battalion commander, but also as a joint plans officer and in the joint staff and in joint operation, joint operations and joint operation task forces throughout the throughout the world.
00:09:18.240I'm I'm a graduate of West Point. So I've got a master's in political science and a Ph.D. in political science.
00:09:27.200So these are things that I have been studying and living and experiencing for the entirety of my adult life since I was 17.
00:09:34.900So I don't look at this through the lens of an amateur or through the lens of someone that that doesn't have the ability to apply deep history to the current construct of reality that then backs it up also with life lived experience on the ground in some of these very places that we're talking about right now.
00:09:58.480And the headline of that article that you just showed, what's interesting to that is that you could take that same article, that same headline, change the country names.
00:10:09.620That is exactly how the United States' involvement in World War I, in World War II, in the Persian Gulf Desert Steel Desert Storm, in Syria, in Vietnam, in Iraq, in Afghanistan, and now with this war in Iran, how it always started.
00:10:31.760We thought that in World War I that we would contribute our part by helping the allies in Europe with, we'll give them materiel, we'll help them with blockade, but we're not going to get directly involved.
00:10:54.700We're going to send them some support.
00:10:55.900We'll send in the Jedbergs to help raise the French resistance against, but we're not going to get directly involved.
00:11:01.760And then we had to. Vietnam, we'll assist with the French, we'll cut off Indochina, we'll help, but we're not going to get directly involved until we were. World War II and the Pacific campaign and the island campaign, we're going to cut Japan off by taking the Solomons, taking the Marshals, cut them off from their resources, but we're not going to go in.
00:11:23.960And we realized that we had to. Iraq, the first time, the Gulf War, Desert Shield, Desert Storm, we're going to push them out. We're going to hold them. We're going to blockade. And we're going to let economics win this war for us until we couldn't. And then Desert Shield turned into Desert Storm and we put boots on the ground.
00:11:43.440It was 90 hours, 90 days, but 90-day, 90-hour ground war over a 90-day operation.
00:11:52.980But we had to put boots on the ground.
00:11:55.640We right now are trying to do all of the things in history that we've realized don't work.
00:12:02.000We're trying to do that with Iran right now, and it will not succeed to achieve any type of objective.
00:12:09.580And the problem now with this war in particular is that what is the U.S. strategic achievable objective?
00:12:26.460Yeah, I want to point out that it's sick and disturbing that we have Americans that weren't born when 9-11 happened, dying in the Middle East.
00:12:46.660During the withdrawal from Afghanistan in August of 2021, the explosion at Abbey Gate
00:12:55.020that killed 19 American service members, Marines, Army, psychological operations soldiers,
00:13:02.980all of those but two of them, but all but two of them were 19 or younger.
00:13:09.260They died in a war, in the withdrawal from a war, that they weren't even born when the war started.
00:13:21.640They weren't even born yet in 2001 when we went into Afghanistan.
00:13:26.100right this war with iran and anyone that thinks that what what the administration or what pete
00:13:38.040hexeth or donald trump are telling us that we could end this whenever we want we're now at
00:13:43.100five months and three days and i'm going to tell you it's going to turn into a year
00:13:49.720it's going to turn into two years and 10 15 years from now with thousands of u.s service members
00:13:57.620lost at sea or on land or in the air we're all going to look back and then be like huh
00:14:02.540what happened to that quick war what happened to that mission accomplished
00:14:07.380excellent point and that's the thing and and not only just now like that another thing just really
00:14:15.920makes me angry and of course i'm a total civilian right like i'm not a member of the armed forces
00:14:20.300and never have been but i just think about the idea of somebody my age playing you know like
00:14:25.520video video games on their phone or whatever and they're in some base that amounts to just it's a
00:14:30.220shed really it's not a bunker it's not missile defense there's nothing there to protect you
00:14:34.380and then you have a lawnmower drone come in they spent 15 grand making it and then your entire you
00:14:39.700know early 20s existence you know going to school in america meeting a girl in america marrying a
00:14:44.940girl in America thinking about having kids, buying a house. It doesn't exist anymore. It doesn't
00:14:50.180exist for Tyler. It doesn't exist for Sarah. It doesn't exist for Angel. It doesn't exist for
00:14:54.600Michael. And when I say that and people get mad at me, I am honoring them by telling the truth
00:14:59.360about what happened. All right. Donald Trump sent them into a place that could not be defended
00:15:04.360on the record. That's just a fact. What do you think about that, Anthony? What's your take?
00:15:09.320well when we first went into iraq and we looked at the the problem from the scope of the western
00:15:20.320view from western perspective oh we're going to defeat the revolutionary guard uh we'll we'll
00:15:28.040have them beat easy we've got the best military in the world and we're going in with a coalition
00:15:32.740of the willing. And we did, you know, you could say that, okay, we met that first phase, but then
00:15:40.120we started to have $8.3 million tanks and $20 million strikers, the most advanced military
00:15:51.160infantry fighting vehicle in the world at the time. And I was an, I was a striker infantry
00:15:56.740platoon leader that they were of the first striker brigade that existed in the army and
00:16:02.780went into combat and the you know we were losing soldiers and having multi-million dollar vehicles
00:16:11.080blown up with 25 cent timers off of washing machines strapped to uh you know a couple one
00:16:23.860five, five rounds of bombs. And that is a problem that we never solved. We never solved the IED
00:16:30.620problem in Iraq, in Syria and Afghanistan. It continued to evolve. We continue to find ways
00:16:36.740to avoid it, but we never solved that problem because it's an asymmetric war. So when you look
00:16:43.320at the war that we've now stepped into, it gets back. It was asymmetric from its inception.
00:16:50.340It gets back into it being existential for them because this I'm not saying this certainly not to endorse it's morbid and horrific what's happened to our soldiers in the Middle East.
00:17:00.940But necessity is the mother of invention. And when we go in their backyard and they have to fight us or their civilization doesn't exist anymore, as Trump says, they're going to figure out a way to do efficient missile defense and missile attack.
00:17:12.560And that's the reality. The asymmetric warfare, their wind condition is a lot easier than ours is as well. We need total regime change. All they have to do is close the strait and continue to back the axis of resistance. I just had Suleiman Ahmed on, of course, a leading international journalist, and he was talking to me about a coordinated attack between the entire axis of resistance against Saudi Arabia in the United States. What do you think about the possibility of something like that happening? What would that look like?
00:17:39.980It's it's it's very likely. And it is it is logically in the progression of this conflict predictable. Yes, we are seeing the allies and the axes, the the the the entente and the the the other already beginning to form between countries now have to take sides.
00:18:06.260Right. Are we going to be on this side? Are we going to be on this side? And you see countries now really taking a hard look at, huh, is is America really going to be here with us in the long run?
00:18:20.500Is America going to stand by us five years from now? Is America going to stand by us years from now? I'll tell you. Ask the Kurds how American commitment has gone for them. Ask the Southern Vietnamese, the Montagnards and Vietnam how that went for them.
00:18:38.940ask the free french how that went for them when we when basically germany pushed through the rest
00:18:44.760of france and vichy french uh took over and we basically abandoned the free french for a total
00:18:49.920war uh ask them how how that went for them uh ask ask the people of afghanistan how that went for
00:18:57.460them when we left and we said hey sorry uh you gotta you gotta fend for yourself and for the few
00:19:04.140For the few hundred we were able to get out on the back end of that, now we have an administration that calls them terrorists.
00:19:13.100So ask them how that how that panned out for them.
00:19:17.220Yeah, it never seems to work out great.
00:19:19.320We're a real fair weather friend to people around the globe.
00:19:22.640We're also a big monster that takes little bites.
00:19:24.760We say, hey, just give us a little portion of your sovereignty.
00:19:29.220Let us be the reason that you get attacked.
00:19:31.220It's worth it, right, for our for our phenomenal relationship because of all our connections.
00:19:35.240But as the East and global South grow and as things like BRICS mature, as Russia and China consolidate their relationships around the planet and it becomes very clear, the Western financial system is really propped up on this massive debt.
00:19:48.580And you can't really deal with the bond rates going much higher before you have total collapse, much less the fertilizer collapse is already occurring, much less not having the petroleum supply.
00:19:59.500Matt Bracken and others are calling this an energy world war.
00:20:06.820You know, as as much as the United States is protected against bombs dropping in, you know, central Oklahoma or southern California, the the the nature of the impact of to the economy, to our agriculture, to food, physically food on the table.
00:20:26.700you know that impact we haven't felt yet but that that whiplash is coming the the whip has
00:20:35.800already been struck and it's going down the line and it just it hasn't cracked at the end of the
00:20:41.220whip the tsunami here at home but it's coming the tsunami the water is going out away from the beach
00:20:47.080and everyone's just standing oh hey it is look there's a fish on the beach that's it's a shark
00:20:51.380wow it's a whale and then you see the water start to come in 100 and as and for some as they sit
00:20:58.120there and watch the water come back uh they they think oh look there's so much more beautiful sand
00:21:04.400on the beach oh look this water is coming back well we'll have a beautiful day at the beach of
00:21:08.720water it's like well no it's it's actually going to wipe out everything for the next you know 10
00:21:12.380miles inland um right and and we we sit and look at that and we think that it won't impact us here
00:21:19.480But when you when you start to look at the reality on the ground, look at the the the U.S. Central Command commander, Admiral Brad Cooper.
00:21:32.060Right. The chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, Air Force General Dan Kane, who I've worked with personally.
00:21:40.320Right. They have come to the president with two different options.
00:21:44.260We either stop the missile exchange that we then don't follow up with anything because we're wasting all of our strategic supply of missiles and munitions, or we do something.
00:22:04.540We either have to go in on the ground or or take the straighter, even to this day, regardless of 153 days into this conflict, who still controls the straighter?
00:22:17.000Iran. We have not changed the calculus one bit.
00:22:23.040They lie. Jack Keene goes on Fox News and says we have to keep it open or one of them.
00:22:27.280They're all the same. I don't want to slander anybody.
00:22:29.160One of the many talking heads say that we've already won the war, say that, oh, we just got to keep the strait open.
00:22:57.480Those three critical waterways, what's your position on that?
00:23:01.300Well, I'll tell you, I'd rather take a mixed drink from Bill Cosby than any military advice from Jack Keene.
00:23:08.220Jack Keene is a sycophant. When he was in the military as a four-star general, he got there by nepotism.
00:23:14.780He speaks for the Institute for the Study of War, which is a Zionist-backed think tank that basically feeds to Fox News and other news agencies exactly what the Zionist AIPAC framework tells them to say.
00:23:35.200And in my opinion, folks like Jack Keene or Kellogg, they have sold out their oath for money and fame.
00:23:50.120And they didn't have a good track record when they were in the military.
00:23:59.200When when when wars break out and you're already at the level of being a one star or a two star general, you're you're an administrator.
00:24:07.860You're not fighting war. You're you're back in D.C. giving the president or the chairman options.
00:24:14.740You know, you spend most of your days wearing a suit rather than boots.
00:24:18.700Right. So so I. I don't listen to to folks like like Jack Keene and the Institute for the Study of War.
00:24:29.200Because I know the people behind it. But to the point of what he's saying is that in the beginning, we had a lot of these experts say that, oh, yeah, the president has a clear plan.
00:24:47.660The president has the ability to scale this. We can be in or out. It's not our problem.
00:24:53.240um we we've achieved our objective of of sinking the iranian navy and destroying the iranian air
00:25:00.200force that's the equivalent of saying hey we're about to go into this neighborhood and take it
00:25:04.720over hey boss we destroyed everyone's landline telephones what like what what's that gonna do
00:25:12.180okay so they don't have plumbing anymore true yeah you destroyed all of their landlines
00:25:16.900who has a landline anymore like okay so yeah you destroyed the iranian navy because it was sitting
00:25:24.060at their ports because they don't use it right and you spent critical precision guided munitions
00:25:30.200to do it and then the subsequent retaliatory strikes we use vital air defense spending
00:25:34.540probably hundreds of millions if not billions of dollars to defend ourselves from a uh war of
00:25:39.720aggression a war of choice that we started anthony aguilar that was powerful always appreciate
00:25:43.860having you on. We got to stream again soon. I want to have you on my personal show,
00:25:47.400New American Journal in the morning. But let's let's plug it really quick. Your website,
