Valuetainment - “A Gift From China” - Trump WARNS Xi Over Secret Missile Chemicals Given to Iran

00:00:00.000 Trump confronts Xi, the surprise gift. Is this on the addendum, Rob, or is this on the main story?

00:00:05.860 Main story. Trump confronts Xi as U.S. forces seize Chinese ship carrying mysterious gift to Iran.

00:00:12.600 What do you mean a mysterious gift to Iran? Here's a question when the president's being asked about it. Go for it.

00:00:18.620 Militarily, they use the bridges for their weapons, for their missile movements.

00:00:23.840 You know, they're trying to move the missiles because we've obliterated most of their missiles,

00:00:27.320 and they're trying to move their missiles around, even during the ceasefire,

00:00:30.280 which I think was a good thing because we're totally loaded up.

00:00:33.420 We have so much ammo.

00:00:34.640 We have so much of everything that we've, like, much more powerful than it was four or five weeks ago.

00:00:41.420 So we've used this to restock, and they probably have done a little bit of restocking.

00:00:45.520 We caught a ship yesterday that had some things on it, which wasn't very nice, a gift from China perhaps.

00:00:51.100 I don't know, but I was a little surprised because I have a very good relationship,

00:00:56.000 and I thought I had an understanding with President Xi, but that's all right.

00:00:59.020 That's the way war goes, right?

00:01:01.120 But I will tell you that we have our military is incredible, what we've done.

00:01:06.180 I mean, think of it.

00:01:07.420 In the first three days, we took out their entire Navy.

00:01:10.700 Tom, what do you think is going on here?

00:01:12.760 Well, he just said we took out their entire Navy.

00:01:14.760 I'd like to know who's shooting at the ships,

00:01:16.860 because supposedly those were those fast boats, or is this a Navy boat?

00:01:21.420 Because supposedly it was ship-to-ship firing that was happening first thing this morning.

00:01:25.400 number one number two is we've known china has been trying to help uh china got busted um uh

00:01:32.780 end of last week sending in and i gave you the chemical name that we found on that ship which

00:01:38.820 is basically the raw powder needed to make rocket fuel to make you know high volatility explosive

00:01:46.540 that goes off in a constrained manner is a rocket engine that's what it is and so they were helping

00:01:53.060 them with that. So the gift from China, they've been trying to enable them. They're not going to

00:01:58.440 put the satellite imagery and sharing satellite coordinates that they shared of the U.S. bases

00:02:05.480 that were located around the Middle East in UAE, telling, hey, here's the aircraft on the ground

00:02:11.860 in UAE right here, right here, right here. China shared that stuff going back four weeks ago.

00:02:17.560 So if something's on a ship, it's either a weapon. And China has been very reluctant to openly share, you know, you know, arms transport. But what were they sending? Rocket fuel. So I think that that is still going on.

00:02:33.740 And I think what this is also Trump saying, I think he's talking to Xi.

00:02:38.420 And rather than say to Xi, hey, I know what you're doing, he just casually mentions to the media, yeah, China had a gift over there going for him.

00:02:47.940 And I think he's letting people know how much we know about China's assistant.

00:02:53.520 I think that's, you know how when you want to talk to somebody, Pat, but you don't pick up the phone and call them, you can talk in other ways.

00:03:00.440 And I think he's talking to Xi.

00:03:01.720 We know what you just did.

00:03:02.940 We know what you sent, and we caught it.

00:03:05.900 What do you think it was?

00:03:09.440 I don't know.

00:03:11.760 Can you fit one drone into a box and gift wrap it with a ribbon?

00:03:16.840 You need more than one drone, though.

00:03:18.480 Well, I'm being a little facetious, but, I mean, to be honest,

00:03:22.400 I don't really care what it was.

00:03:24.100 The reality is this.

00:03:26.080 Again, we are in an age of misinformation, and the markets, as you say,

00:03:30.620 This is a headline-driven stock market, but we know that there are two countries that are very powerful that have a vested interest in this war lasting longer and costing America that much more, and one is Russia, one is China.

00:03:49.500 And remember that why it was so important to remove Maduro was because Venezuela at that point was selling sanctioned oil at a discount to China.

00:04:01.240 That's what it was all about.

00:04:03.060 It all comes back down, really, to China.

00:04:07.320 And China has been supplying these armaments to Iran for a long time,

00:04:13.380 and even during this war.

00:04:16.240 Again, when I talk about misinformation, no, I'm sorry.

00:04:23.360 Iran's military capacity has not been obliterated.

00:04:27.420 It's been seriously impaired.

00:04:29.360 But from what I've been hearing from my sources, we've only destroyed 50% of their drone capacity and 50% of their bombing capacity.

00:04:40.660 So they've been impaired. 0.87

00:04:43.260 I'll tell you what the Iranians are probably thinking, is that they can outlast Trump. 0.96

00:04:49.100 They can outlast Trump.

00:04:50.180 and especially if those reports are true

00:04:54.060 that they've been impaired but not disabled,

00:04:58.360 they believe, and that's what their actions are telling you.

00:05:01.940 And I guess we have to,

00:05:03.160 what is the interpretation of what Iran's doing right now?

00:05:06.440 They think they can outlast Trump.

00:05:08.500 And I didn't just say that it's all about the markets.

00:05:10.620 It's also about the public opinion polls.

00:05:12.900 It's also about the polls now showing,

00:05:15.480 we already knew that the House was probably going Democrat,

00:05:18.420 but now the Senate's in play.

00:05:20.180 So you have a Democratic sweep in November.

00:05:23.700 And there's fissures already within the Republican Party.

00:05:27.680 So he has to pay attention to the internal politics,

00:05:31.460 which the regime in Iran doesn't have to worry about.

00:05:36.320 So I believe that they believe that they can outlast Trump.

00:05:41.360 And the reality is that,

00:05:44.000 Does anybody surprise that China is helping Iran in this cause, or Russia for that matter?

00:05:52.560 Who's surprised about that? 0.52

00:05:54.060 Yeah, apparently what it is is it's missile-related chemicals is what they're speculating was in there.

00:05:59.780 Missile-related chemicals, according to Washington Times, is what was in the gift.

00:06:04.780 Brandon?

00:06:05.820 Yeah, and this is why it's such a shame that the Supreme Court did what they did with tariffs

00:06:10.680 because I don't think it's a coincidence that China's feeling bold like this,

00:06:14.340 where they could do something that they know Trump would be upset about,

00:06:17.700 that they know would be considered possibly a hostile action

00:06:21.600 when Trump's biggest lever, biggest tool against them was taken away.

00:06:25.240 And this is an unsettling thing.

00:06:28.740 There's a time for the last 30 years where countries wouldn't dare to do something like this.

00:06:33.220 But now China's kind of feeling our weakness, it looks like.

00:06:35.900 I mean, the Center for CSIS, Center for Strategic International Studies, did a report showing that it would be two weeks that we would run out of weapons if we were to have a conflict in the South China Sea right now.

00:06:49.220 We used 40 percent of our THAAD missiles in the first 16 days of the Iran conflict, and it's going to take until end of 2027 for us to restock that.

00:06:57.320 So we have the technology, we have money, but not the supplies for something like this. 0.65

00:07:03.400 So I think China's kind of poking us, testing us with this.

00:07:06.380 You know, that's a bold thing for them to do. 0.98

00:07:08.500 I know they've been going back and forth on basic things,

00:07:11.060 but to send, you know, long-range missile stuff to Iran, that's a...

00:07:17.060 Who is this from? It's this live man.

00:07:18.160 U.S. found Chinese gift for Iran.

00:07:19.540 Trump, after ship carrying missile chemicals seized in Hormuz, Beijing, rejects claim.

00:07:24.720 Trump said that China is possibly providing Iran with lethal aid or weapons

00:07:28.480 or move that would test a U.S. red line.

00:07:31.240 The development comes days after U.S. military sees an Iranian vessel with Chinese chemical missile shipments. 0.55

00:07:35.620 So it's like they're seeing what they can get away with. 0.95

00:07:37.500 You know, are you surprised, though, with China? 0.99

00:07:39.680 I don't know if I'm surprised. 0.87

00:07:42.160 I don't know if I'm sitting there saying I'm surprised with them doing this because.

00:07:46.360 What they do 20 years ago, though?

00:07:47.540 No, no.

00:07:48.140 But but think about what they're stronger as well. 0.90

00:07:50.340 But but the reality of it is, look what we've done to China.

00:07:54.940 Just think what's happened, what America's done to China the last 12 months.

00:07:59.060 Yeah.

00:07:59.280 So you were getting your stuff from Venezuela.

00:08:02.640 That's gone.

00:08:03.620 That discount is gone.

00:08:05.540 You were getting what percentage of your oil out of Iran?

00:08:08.500 I don't know what the number is.

00:08:09.380 It's a massive number they're getting from Iran.

00:08:11.560 Okay.

00:08:12.580 And so now that's been locked up.

00:08:15.300 You're not happy about that, and they were giving it to you as a discount.

00:08:18.040 And the Panama Canal is part of Venezuela.

00:08:19.680 And C.K. Hutchinson, who owns Panama Canal, the 43 ports, whatever it is,

00:08:26.520 two or three of them that are the main ones in Panama on both sides,

00:08:29.280 Now, you mean to tell me you lost that because the Panama government said you don't have any jurisdiction here and then they're suing them to say, now you lose that chokehold for America if you wanted to really piss off America and say, don't F with us because I'm going to destroy your Panama Canal and I'm going to mess with – that's now gone.

00:08:46.980 So, one by one – so, you know what, what would you do if you were Chinese? 0.65

00:08:50.840 Anything you can to –

00:08:51.960 That's what I'm saying.

00:08:52.540 So, if you're cornering me and I'm China, I'm sitting there saying, oh, you want to do this? 1.00

00:08:57.360 I have to make sure Iran makes it. 0.75

00:08:59.000 I have to make sure I'm on Iran's side. 0.97

00:09:01.100 So then what other leverage are you going to have?

00:09:03.700 Because China's going to say, you need my minerals.

00:09:05.420 You still don't have Greenland.

00:09:06.940 Or refineries in the U.S., which that would give us the ability to have those, too.

00:09:10.180 Yeah, so this is a very interesting, but I'm not surprised that China says, no, that wasn't us.

00:09:18.120 And two, they're testing their limits to see what they can get in there.

00:09:21.000 Yeah.

00:09:21.640 Because guess what happens? 0.64

00:09:23.620 What's the worst-case scenario with the Strait of Hormuz that happens to China?

00:09:27.180 What is the worst thing that can happen to China in regard to Strait of Hormuz?

00:09:32.720 We control it and we control Karg Island. 0.93

00:09:35.760 Bingo.

00:09:36.560 If U.S. controls Karg Island and we control Strait of Hormuz, what the hell are you talking about?

00:09:44.600 Now, that's not the Western Hemisphere.

00:09:46.280 That's what?

00:09:47.080 Yeah, Eastern Hemisphere. 0.90

00:09:48.420 That's the part where China—there's no way in the world—China can control Iran. 0.92

00:09:53.640 China can control America if we take control. 0.92

00:09:55.680 Right. 0.55

00:09:56.680 So this is a very rough place for China.

00:10:00.080 Your thoughts?

00:10:01.640 Well, firstly, I'll come back to what I said before.

00:10:05.940 Who has the staying power?

00:10:08.440 What we know is that China stockpiled a hell of a lot of oil ahead of this.

00:10:13.340 I don't know how China even had an inkling.

00:10:17.020 Xi Jinping was well prepared for the tariff war. 0.83

00:10:21.260 And it looks though he was even prepared for this Iranian war. 0.88

00:10:25.040 And, you know, when they say that Xi Jinping is playing chess while the other leaders of the world are playing checkers, I actually think that they're right. 0.74

00:10:32.980 The staying power, they stockpiled many months' worth of oil.

00:10:37.680 So I'm not worried about a chokehold on China unless the administration is thinking that we're going to actually keep it closed for three or six months.

00:10:46.780 The other part of it is that as the United States was turning its back on the clean energy file, the one country in the world that was pursuing it aggressively was China, where basically we can talk about all the oil that China needs and needs from Iran, but half their energy comes from clean energy, and they've stockpiled a lot of oil.

00:11:12.200 Now, there's a time when there's going to be a real choke point on the Chinese economy if this continues.

00:11:20.620 But I think that it would take at least three months if you're talking about trying to bring China to its knees.

00:11:26.360 The question is, does Donald Trump have three months more?

00:11:30.960 You want to talk about taking over Cargill Island?

00:11:33.940 Look, you're talking about a situation where the whole world will face massive constraints.

00:11:38.380 You talked about jet fuel before.

00:11:39.560 We're just in the early stages of the airlines either cancelling flights or actually just not flying as much.

00:11:49.140 That's a huge impact on domestic travel and tourism and internationally.

00:11:55.160 Isn't the United States about they're hosting that soccer championship, right?

00:12:00.140 Yeah, the World Cup.

00:12:02.080 Well, do you hear what the hotel companies are saying?

00:12:04.720 That they're slashing their rates by 50%.

00:12:07.220 um so what's your point though my my my point my my point is that my point is that uh that the

00:12:15.720 united states has um a much lower uh a much i guess higher threshold or you know for for pain

00:12:26.560 what i mean is that um in an election year and a lot at stake uh how much pain are americans and

00:12:33.880 Now, I'm not talking about the markets, okay?

00:12:35.680 The S&P is not GDP.

00:12:38.380 And you could say that things are looking okay right now.

00:12:40.800 We've got the retail sales number.

00:12:42.260 Well, guess what?

00:12:42.940 Right in the middle of a $30 billion incremental increase in tax refunds,

00:12:46.800 and all that money got spent last month.

00:12:49.080 But that's going to wear out in the next couple of months.

00:12:51.000 We'll see the emperor disrobed.

00:12:52.460 The question comes down to who's got the staying power.

00:12:55.740 And that's, I guess, you know, we can either agree or disagree.

00:12:58.800 I think that China, I think probably even Iran, has longer staying power.

00:13:03.880 than the Americans do.

00:13:05.400 I don't know about that. 0.89

00:13:06.340 I don't know about that.

00:13:07.240 And I'll tell you why.

00:13:08.780 I'll agree in one area, and I'll push back,

00:13:10.860 and I want you to push back on me, on what I'm going to say. 0.94

00:13:13.220 I want to hear your – so what do you think about the fact that Iran

00:13:16.480 is using $400 million to $500 million every day in oil?

00:13:20.320 That's $12 million to $13 billion a month.

00:13:23.300 And they – some reports are coming and saying they can go two more weeks.

00:13:27.500 Some are saying max six more weeks with that income coming in,

00:13:30.540 and the country's in shambles,

00:13:32.120 so the people are starting to get frustrated

00:13:34.100 and the people are getting tired of it.

00:13:35.840 The opposing argument to that is World Cup starts when?

00:13:38.940 Rob, when does the World Cup start?

00:13:41.800 What's the first date?

00:13:42.900 And by the way, the FIFA president came out and said,

00:13:45.460 I don't know if you saw this or not,

00:13:46.960 that Iran will definitely be in the World Cup.

00:13:50.360 Okay, so Iran will be competing.

00:13:51.800 You know, that whole story was like, 0.61

00:13:53.000 they're not, they're going to, they are.

00:13:54.360 So they are, okay?

00:13:56.140 World Cup starts June 11th.

00:13:57.920 Today is what, April 23rd, 22nd?

00:14:00.400 What is today?

00:14:01.280 22nd.

00:14:01.640 Six weeks.

00:14:03.200 My timeline is he's got six weeks.

00:14:06.760 So my timeline, you either have to fix it in six weeks

00:14:09.380 or you have to put a ceasefire for how long?

00:14:11.980 From June 11th to July 19th.

00:14:13.980 Why July 19th?

00:14:14.840 July 19th is a championship match.

00:14:16.840 So then you've got to go back at it.

00:14:18.020 And then do you really want to go into the midterms?

00:14:20.240 So there's two ways.

00:14:21.380 For us, you're right, World Cup and midterms is there.

00:14:24.320 On the other side, for Iran, what are you going to do when all of a sudden – 1.00

00:14:27.900 The tipping point from my end is if the Iranians go in the streets again

00:14:33.840 and families are struggling financially, payment, all of that stuff, that is chaotic.

00:14:40.380 What we did learn, and again, you know Reza Pahlavi, who was the fellow that's going around,

00:14:47.320 and we've had him on a few times, and we're probably not on the best terms today

00:14:51.560 because I called him on a few different things.

00:14:54.980 Here's what we did learn.

00:14:55.780 how much influence when he said he has with the military turning against IRGC?

00:15:01.580 How much of that have we seen?

00:15:03.520 We haven't seen any of it.

00:15:04.960 That's a problem.

00:15:05.980 Well, that's what I was thinking.

00:15:07.060 I mean, that was my, you know, initial soliloquy.

00:15:10.980 That to me, when you're asking me before about, you know, what would be something really good,

00:15:16.100 that would be really good because I think ultimately it will take the Army.

00:15:21.080 So far, the army hasn't turned against the regime, and maybe that'll change.

00:15:27.080 It'll change, you know, it's like I talked about the history.

00:15:30.080 When does the army turn?

00:15:31.200 The army turns when it sees its own survival at stake,

00:15:34.900 and that comes from the uprising of the general population, which we saw in January.

00:15:40.880 I imagine that perhaps Donald Trump thought that maybe we're going to see this again,

00:15:44.540 but they're scared, and they're not armed.

00:15:47.600 And then it'll come down, I think, to what the army does.

00:15:50.740 I fully agree.

00:15:51.740 The point I'm making before is this.

00:15:54.380 I think that Iran has more staying power. 0.79

00:15:56.960 And we have to acknowledge that it does because this was supposed to be a four or five week war. 0.88

00:16:01.180 It started in late February.

00:16:02.960 Stand alone or would help?

00:16:04.500 What?

00:16:04.900 Stand alone to have staying power or would help?

00:16:08.420 No, and I say that staying power, it's a matter of that.

00:16:12.580 What I said before is that Donald Trump has to pay attention to the political calendar.

00:16:18.480 And I think he's starting to.

00:16:20.540 And he's, you know, I don't know, is he going to buckle to domestic political pressure and now within his own party?

00:16:27.960 I mean, these are the things that Iran doesn't have to worry about.

00:16:30.340 And what I'm saying is that from what I'm hearing is that Iran, despite what we hear from the White House, their munitions have not been totally destroyed, not been obliterated, and that they have probably still 50% capacity, which is a lot.

00:16:47.600 We were told at the beginning this was going to be a four- or five-week war.

00:16:50.640 That was back at the end of February.

00:16:51.960 So we have to acknowledge that although there's no bombing right now, the war is ongoing.

00:16:58.160 And what I'm saying is this.

00:16:59.920 A little bit of history yet again.

00:17:03.980 1930s.

00:17:04.940 When you look at the Gallup polls in the 1930s, 90% of the American public was against the U.S.

00:17:13.640 joining the Allies in the fight against the Nazis.

00:17:16.700 When did that flip?

00:17:18.020 When did it flip? 0.54

00:17:19.980 1941 with Pearl Harbor.

00:17:23.340 So I don't even want to go there.

00:17:25.180 What will be the event that would flip public opinion, right?

00:17:28.320 And public opinion matters in a democracy.

00:17:30.820 Well, we're talking about Iran, and we're talking about China.

00:17:34.020 We even talked about Russia, which comes out a winner from all this as well.

00:17:37.560 These are not exactly democracies. 0.84

00:17:39.200 And my sense and my concern is that Iran has more staying power in terms of time than a lot of people recognize.

00:17:52.120 And that's a problem because Donald Trump doesn't have a lot of time because we're going to shift our focus the next few months towards the midterms.

00:18:00.740 So he's under tremendous political pressure.

00:18:03.760 Well, you know, all of a sudden, out of the blue, I mean, just a few weeks ago, we're talking about we're going to go in there, we're going to bomb the power plants, and we're going to bomb the bridges.

00:18:12.100 And of course, to a lot of internal political pressure, not just global pressure, because, you know, people are going to die, right?

00:18:19.460 Civilians are going to die.

00:18:21.020 And that's the one thing that, you know, Americans today, they can't stomach that. 1.00

00:18:27.060 But that would be, when you think about it, how else do we incentivize the Iranian population? 0.94

00:18:33.040 There's one way to do it.

00:18:34.460 There's one way to do it.

00:18:35.800 Are you familiar with the Rewards for Justice program?

00:18:38.900 No.

00:18:39.520 Okay, so if you want to pull up the Rewards for Justice program,

00:18:43.140 go to a place that explains what it is.

00:18:45.840 Maybe go to, yeah, so the Rewards for Justice program,

00:18:49.020 you ever hear when they're like,

00:18:50.280 we'll give you $25 million for somebody that finds Maduro

00:18:53.360 and tells us where it's at?

00:18:54.320 We'll give you that whole Rewards for Justice program, right?

00:18:57.040 Guess what?

00:18:58.280 How much have we spent so far?

00:19:00.220 $51 billion, give or take, so far.

00:19:03.540 All right?

00:19:04.940 If I break a billion into $10 million, how many $10 million payments can I make?

00:19:12.260 How many?

00:19:13.440 A hundred.

00:19:15.300 Right?

00:19:16.520 Ten million, billion is what?

00:19:18.340 A hundred.

00:19:19.120 If I break it into $5 million, how many can I make?

00:19:22.280 Two hundred.

00:19:22.840 If I break it into $2.5 million, how many can I make?

00:19:25.740 Four hundred.

00:19:26.320 So instead of spending $50 billion, why don't you increase your rewards for justice to a billion dollars?

00:19:35.180 It's going to save us a shit ton of money instead of you going to $200 billion.

00:19:40.040 Let's find the top 200 military leaders that are to IRGC and tell them, hey, man, here's what's going to happen.

00:19:48.280 Leak the info.

00:19:49.640 Get it in front of them.

00:19:50.600 You guys are each going to get $5 million, rewards for justice.

00:19:56.320 based on these three criterias one you flip now two you do that that next and three it's not hard

00:20:03.720 to come up with the next three requests and each one prompts a payment or each one does something

00:20:09.520 it's not like we don't have this program right now and this is kind of a quiet low-key underground

00:20:15.200 you know ci type of a thing some of these guys are going to sit there and say okay i got seven kids

00:20:21.800 I got two wives

00:20:23.320 I'm a military this

00:20:25.200 the top 50 leaders were killed

00:20:27.220 they killed Khamenei 0.98

00:20:28.500 they're about to kill a son 0.98

00:20:30.000 they killed all these other guys 0.99

00:20:31.600 who the hell am I 1.00

00:20:32.540 they're going to kill me next 0.98

00:20:33.420 you'll be able to flip 200 military leaders

00:20:36.180 for 5 million a pop

00:20:38.760 now what are they going to do

00:20:40.180 so go you know how we have the general of the army

00:20:42.580 we have sergeant major of the army

00:20:44.080 we have you know marines

00:20:45.600 we have air force

00:20:46.320 we have navy

00:20:46.800 one by one

00:20:47.920 and find a way to get that messaging to them

00:20:50.680 Remember back in the days, the way the CIA would recruit people.

00:20:57.340 Did you see that commercial on CIA on how to leak into – was it a commercial that we did to Russia or vice versa?

00:21:04.180 Did you see that one commercial?

00:21:05.360 I think it was China.

00:21:06.320 Yeah, do you – that's right, it was China. 0.91

00:21:08.240 Do you know which one I'm talking about? 0.97

00:21:09.280 Have you seen this one?

00:21:10.360 So China did a commercial, CIA launches Mandarin videos to recruit Chinese spies.

00:21:16.420 That's the one.

00:21:17.440 So go ahead and play that clip.

00:21:18.680 By the way, can you do me a favor, Rob?

00:21:20.680 Go back if you could

00:21:22.740 Go back if you could

00:21:23.600 Because I want to know one of them

00:21:24.800 What YouTube channel it's from

00:21:26.400 CIA has a YouTube channel

00:21:29.160 Just so everybody knows

00:21:31.540 It's not even hidden anymore

00:21:33.160 So CIA launched a commercial

00:21:35.360 To try to get spies from China

00:21:37.000 Please go and play this clip Rob if you could

00:21:39.360 From the CIA

00:21:43.740 The language Mandarin

00:21:45.640 The goal 1.00

00:21:47.940 Recruit Chinese spies 0.98

00:21:49.600 One of the primary roles of the CIA is to collect intelligence for the president and for our policy makers. 0.97

00:21:57.100 Guess what? CIA, make a video and say, if you're a colonel or above in the Iranian military

00:22:05.840 and you want to flip, $5 million reward for you to get a hold of us.

00:22:11.340 And guess what? We'll protect your kids, we'll protect your this, we'll protect your that.

00:22:14.920 Make that commercial. Spend a billion dollars. Spend a billion dollars.

00:22:19.600 And guess what?

00:22:21.020 Tax pay, and I've watched some of the – so fight back. 0.95

00:22:23.420 Argue that. 0.59

00:22:24.560 Argue the point.

00:22:25.740 Would you be for us spending a billion dollars, rewards for justice,

00:22:30.320 flipping a couple hundred of these guys?

00:22:32.660 They're not wanting to fight.

00:22:34.500 They stand down.

00:22:35.600 They sell intel, and the war is over with.

00:22:38.280 Would you be okay to spending a billion dollars for that?

00:22:40.540 Would you be okay with that idea to even entertain a town?

00:22:43.000 Much better.

00:22:43.460 Tear the argument apart.

00:22:44.840 No, I can tear the argument apart.

00:22:47.200 Go for it.

00:22:47.540 I want to hear it.

00:22:47.900 Well, I said before, you're fighting a radical Islam ideology.

00:22:54.960 A lot of people at or near the top in Iran, the money doesn't matter. 0.53

00:23:00.400 This is about fanaticism, a fanatical theocracy.

00:23:06.360 So, I mean, I love the idea.

00:23:08.640 I love utopia. 0.75

00:23:10.420 The question is that, forget the IRGC.

00:23:13.900 They are in control.

00:23:15.200 Now, you're talking about going after the military.

00:23:17.900 You're going to need more than just a few dozen or a few hundred.

00:23:21.160 There's over 200,000 IRGC, and they're in control. 0.67

00:23:25.920 You would need, if you could do this, and you start with 10 or 20 or 30,

00:23:31.540 I mean, there's a million just in the regular army.

00:23:34.560 It would have to spread.

00:23:35.940 It's just a law of large numbers.

00:23:37.300 The IRGC is not a small army.

00:23:40.600 There's over 200,000.

00:23:42.760 But I love the idea.

00:23:45.300 I love the idea of somehow, we talked about the Mossad earlier and the Kurds. 0.50

00:23:51.680 How do we develop internal insurrection against the regime and have it grow?

00:23:58.120 And then you reach a point right where the general population has the confidence to come back out and do it in January.

00:24:04.280 I was hoping you would come out and you said you would finance it.

00:24:07.800 You know, you being a financial, I was hoping you would come out and said you would finance it and we would figure out a way to do this.

00:24:14.420 But in Canadian dollars, that's not going to fly.

00:24:17.840 Yeah.
