00:00:00.000 Of the war that's happened in Iran, I think one of the soldiers is from your county, if I'm not making a mistake.
00:00:05.640 His name is Cody Cork. I want to say it correctly, if that's his name.
00:00:09.840 Major Army Reserve General, one of the 13 fellows who passed away.
00:00:14.920 Thank you for his service. May God take care of him and his family, and may he rest in peace.
00:00:20.680 But for you, when he came in, how did the city, how do you process something like that that happens for someone that's from your county?
00:00:27.420 Well, we were there.
00:00:28.280 the president of the united states was there when he came back into the country
00:00:32.380 and i was there when he came back into the county and i was there at the funeral and it was an
00:00:38.740 overwhelming response from everyone in the community we had a procession from our airport
00:00:46.200 in lakeland to winter haven which is an accompanying city and you cannot believe the people that line
00:00:53.740 the miles and miles and miles of roads with flags we have a patriotic community we have a conservative
00:01:01.460 community we have a god-fearing community and he was as you know promoted to major
00:01:07.620 and he was just a real guy and he was extra special to me because my son is a manager for
00:01:15.600 public supermarkets and when when Cody was a kid or I should say Major Cork was a kid
00:01:22.640 He worked for my son.
00:01:24.000 Oh, why?
00:01:24.320 So you've known him for many years.
00:01:25.920 I knew of him vicariously through my son.
00:01:29.080 And he said he was just a great young man in high school.
00:01:32.960 And when he worked for public supermarkets, he said, I enjoyed supervising him.
00:01:38.460 He was a hard worker.
00:01:41.240 And he said, but he was laser focused on the military.
00:01:46.220 He was.
00:01:46.620 So from the beginning.
00:01:47.400 From the very beginning.
00:01:47.860 He knew he was going to get into the military.
00:01:49.480 Absolutely.
00:01:50.080 Good for him.
00:01:50.560 What is your opinion? You're an outsider, but you have opinions on pretty much everything.
00:01:55.080 What are your thoughts on what's going on with Iran?
00:01:56.500 It's becoming very contentious, politically, both sides going wild, including in the Republican Party,
00:02:02.380 the anti-interventionist, the isolationist, the interventionist.
00:02:06.640 Where do you stand with it?
00:02:08.000 Well, first and foremost, what President Trump is doing now should have been done 40 or 50 years ago. 0.60
00:02:15.000 Iran's out of control. 0.93
00:02:16.220 they have not only kidnapped Americans they've killed Americans they're tormenting people in 1.00
00:02:22.860 the Middle East they're creating all kinds of problems for Israel and I applaud President Trump
00:02:29.140 the traditional media says oh he doesn't have a plan he doesn't have a plan well just because
00:02:34.700 he's not sharing the plan with you doesn't mean there's not a plan I have the utmost trust in our
00:02:41.600 military leaders. And I know they had an entrance strategy, they had a practice strategy, and they've
00:02:48.520 got an exit strategy. My prayer is that we can get out of it without having to put boots on the
00:02:54.460 ground. No one wants to do that. And I truly believe that that can happen. The whole goal
00:03:00.440 was to stop them from having atomic weapons, regular weapons. So I applaud President Trump
00:03:07.540 for doing what needed to be done decades before.
00:03:11.800 And why do you think guys prior to him didn't do it?
00:03:15.200 Politics.
00:03:16.020 You think it's purely politics?
00:03:16.880 It was purely politics.
00:03:18.620 They cared more about their personal politics
00:03:20.660 than they cared about the safety and security of not only this country,
00:03:25.160 not only Israel, but the Middle East. 0.92
00:03:27.640 And quite frankly, Iran was there bullying everyone around. 0.99
00:03:32.220 What do you say to guys who say, you know, Judd Grady, respectfully, 0.99
00:03:36.480 Why are we getting involved in everyone's business?
00:03:38.320 Just leave them alone.
00:03:39.240 Why do we want to fight everybody's fault?
00:03:40.720 Why do we have to be the police to the world?
00:03:42.260 Well, you know, we wish it was just that simple, but this whole world is interconnected.
00:03:47.360 And whether it's economics, whether it's oil, think about this for a minute.
00:03:53.100 What if we didn't have the ability to purchase oil or deal in the oil market worldwide?
00:03:59.900 What if we got shut out?
00:04:01.780 We have to be in control to be the very best.
00:04:04.480 the United States is the strongest country. We're up against an economic potential powerhouse with
00:04:11.040 China. So there is no reason in the world for us not to exercise command and control and to demand
00:04:18.780 peace across the nation. Look, it's the future. It's the future of our children and our grandchildren.
00:04:26.540 Now, the critics of President Trump now, I believe, will be silenced by the future whenever they say, well, because the president did this back in 2025, 2026, we don't have a problem that we otherwise would have had.
00:04:46.000 Can you imagine Iran and that regime with a nuclear weapon that could potentially reach the United States and certainly could reach all of the countries in the Middle East and as far away as Spain and Great Britain? 0.53
00:05:02.480 I mean, that that is a scary, dangerous thing. 0.79
00:05:04.880 Were you supportive of the Iraq war?
00:05:06.740 Were you supportive of Afghanistan? 0.85
00:05:08.120 Were you supportive of the, you know, the weapons of mass destruction? 0.99
00:05:10.700 We got to go find it and we spend trillions of dollars.
00:05:12.760 Well, obviously hindsight's 20-20, but I believe prior to George Bush going in that we didn't need to do that.
00:05:20.780 That was your position?
00:05:21.860 That was my position from the very beginning because we had already set up no-fly zones. 0.85
00:05:27.000 We could have tightened up the no-fly zones and restricted Iraq there and just economically worked on them.
00:05:36.660 I'll harken back to Colin Powell. 0.76
00:05:38.680 He said, you go into Afghanistan, you go into Iraq, you own it.
00:05:42.760 You've got to own it.
00:05:45.180 And I can remember on one occasion, I believe it was Colin Powell,
00:05:50.000 General Powell said, look, you think about this. 0.66
00:05:54.960 Is the leader of Iraq a vicious, murdering, terrible guy? 1.00
00:06:02.120 Yes. 0.99
00:06:02.740 But it takes a vicious, murdering, terrible guy to control that country.
00:06:07.800 So if you take him out, who do you replace him with?
00:06:11.140 because you're not going to change the culture
00:06:13.540 just because you can bomb it to pieces.
00:06:17.320 Well, you see the aftermath of that.
00:06:19.380 So I truly believe we should have left him in control,
00:06:23.160 shut down and control the no-fly zones 1.00
00:06:26.760 and even shrunk that and made him an island in that Middle East
00:06:32.940 until he capitulated for world peace or at least world economic peace.

00:07:07.240 How different is that?
00:07:09.360 If you're saying you needed somebody that vicious to be able to control that island, 0.93
00:07:12.800 how different is that than Iran? 0.95
00:07:14.540 Because even some, you know, you can call them a woke right,
00:07:18.160 or people that are isolationists who are not supportive of this,
00:07:21.280 some of them are saying, well, we screwed up there.
00:07:23.460 We should leave these guys alone anyways.
00:07:24.840 They already, you know, they don't treat their people well, 0.90
00:07:27.420 but the same thing happened with Saddam. 0.62
00:07:28.700 Why are we getting involved?
00:07:29.560 What do you say to them?
00:07:30.280 I didn't see Saddam Hussein reaching out and trying to attack, you know, everybody.
00:07:34.380 other than he skirmished with Iran.
00:07:38.180 I was living there when he was bombing us.
00:07:39.580 And there was problems with Afghanistan. 0.51
00:07:42.420 But he was not attacking outwardly like we have seen out of Iran.
00:07:48.240 And you're talking about like the proxy militaries that Iran uses,
00:07:51.220 the Houthis, the Hezbollah, and Saddam wasn't doing that.
00:07:53.280 That's correct. 0.98
00:07:53.640 So that's your biggest thing.
00:07:54.640 That's it.
