Valuetainment - “The Tragedy Of War” - Iran’s School Bombing Probe Points At U.S.

00:00:00.000 New York Times has a story, U.S. at fault in strike on school in Iran, preliminary inquiry

00:00:05.620 says that came in, you know, we've been following this closely. A lot of different things have been

00:00:11.780 said. The president and Pete Hexet were asked about it, and they said, we don't know. My opinion is

00:00:17.960 Iran was behind this, and then Pete Hexet said, we're looking into it. But I think there's a 1.00

00:00:23.160 clip, Rob, that you have an ongoing military investigation has determined that the United

00:00:25.960 The state is responsible for a deadly Tomahawk missile strike on an Iranian elementary school,

00:00:30.580 according to U.S. officials and others familiar with the preliminary findings.

00:00:35.200 The February 28th strike on Shajarroh Tayebeh Elementary School building

00:00:41.180 was the result of a targeting mistake by the U.S. military,

00:00:44.840 which was conducting strikes on an adjacent Iranian base,

00:00:48.740 of which the school building was formerly a part of the preliminary investigation found.

00:00:53.440 Officers at the U.S. Central Command created the target coordinates for the strike using outdated data provided by the Defense Intelligence Agency, the DIA.

00:01:05.260 People briefed on the investigation said officials emphasize that the findings are preliminary and that there are important unanswered questions about why the outdated information had not been double-checked.

00:01:15.480 Striking a school full of children is sure to be recorded as one of the most devastating single military errors in recent decades.

00:01:21.880 Iranian officials have said the death toll was at 175 people, most of them children.

00:01:26.260 Vinny.

00:01:27.720 I mean, tragedy is an understatement for what happened.

00:01:33.040 I know people say, you know, casualties of war, and I understand that part.

00:01:36.860 My thing is, we know as a military member, Pat, especially being Air Force, I know you

00:01:41.600 were Army, Mike's here, you know, Navy.

00:01:45.100 What were you, Mike?

00:01:46.260 Navy.

00:01:47.020 Guess what?

00:01:47.740 Every single munition, every bomb, every missile is accounted for.

00:01:51.320 if it's ours if it's the united states munitions we know exactly where it is and we know what

00:01:56.080 happened if the case is that it was us just come clean apologize so people move forward because

00:02:02.980 you know what those are 168 children who have fathers who have brothers who have uncles who

00:02:10.120 have cousins what are their attitudes going to be like towards us think about think about that

00:02:14.460 and where are they are some of them here are some of them sitting around waiting to do something

00:02:18.880 this is a very very bad look if it is nobody's still giving us a solid answer but if it is us

00:02:24.840 i want them to come clean and let everybody know what happened and at least admit to the fault

00:02:29.420 because this whole well we don't know might have been them and they initially blamed them right

00:02:33.260 off the bat they're like it was iran which it looks like to me now it's not but i think that

00:02:38.180 you have to come clean with something like this i get it it's a horrible horrible thing that happened

00:02:42.340 when innocent lives are are are taken are killed and you have to admit it at least admit the fault

00:02:48.520 and move on. I don't like this

00:02:50.500 waiting around and

00:02:52.420 you know what's going on. Let me tell you

00:02:54.260 you're right and Caroline Levitt said

00:02:56.660 President Trump said this. He first

00:02:58.740 denies it. If you have the other one

00:03:00.680 he's still, go for it Rob.

00:03:02.540 A new report says

00:03:04.840 that the military investigation has

00:03:06.700 found that the United States

00:03:08.300 struck the school in Iran. As 0.98

00:03:10.420 commander in chief, do you take responsibility for that?

00:03:12.960 That is what?

00:03:14.040 As commander in chief, do you? For what?

00:03:16.120 For the strike on the school in Iran. A new

00:03:18.400 report says the military investigation has found it was the United States 0.99

00:03:22.160 that struck the fool. I don't know, though. 0.95

00:03:26.600 Go to what Caroline Leavitt had to say. Here's what Caroline Leavitt had to say

00:03:30.320 about it. On the Iranian school, why did President Trump say yesterday that Iran may have Tomahawk

00:03:36.020 missiles when there are only three other U.S. allies plus the U.S. that have those missiles

00:03:40.260 and therefore... Look, again, as the president said yesterday, he will accept the conclusion

00:03:44.940 of this investigation by the Department of War.

00:03:47.800 I know there's been a lot of speculation in the media

00:03:50.180 about who may be responsible for this.

00:03:52.780 We're not going to get ahead of the Department of War

00:03:55.080 and the conclusion of that investigation.

00:03:56.720 The president has a right to share his opinions

00:03:59.460 with the American public,

00:04:00.540 but he has said he'll accept the conclusion of that investigation.

00:04:03.700 This is what Senator Joe Kennedy had to say.

00:04:06.800 I think he's from Louisiana, if I'm not mistaken.

00:04:09.460 Go for it.

00:04:10.120 You actually talked to NBC News last night

00:04:12.740 about that strike on the girls' school,

00:04:13.960 and you said it was terrible.

00:04:14.700 We made a mistake. I'm just so sorry that it happened. Why did you feel like it was important

00:04:19.320 to say that? Because I think it's the truth. I mean, we're investigating, but I'm not going to

00:04:25.620 hide behind that. I think it was a terrible, terrible mistake. The investigation may prove

00:04:31.940 me wrong. I hope so. The kids are still dead, but I think it was a horrible, horrible mistake.

00:04:39.560 I wish it hadn't happened. I'm sorry it happened. Yeah, I can assure you it wasn't an intentional

00:04:44.540 them. That's the sort of thing Russia does. We don't do that. But, you know, I don't see any

00:04:54.880 other possible explanation. And when you make a mistake, you ought to admit it. Most people

00:05:00.280 understand no one's perfect. But I don't think our men and women who are fighting for us did it

00:05:05.940 intentionally. I'll never believe that. Fair enough. So speaking of the men who are fighting

00:05:10.560 i think that's how you do it but i think that's the most important thing to draw a distinction

00:05:14.600 between intentional targeting of civilians and an absolute tragedy that happened due to error

00:05:21.340 own it because we do have to own it it did happen the reality is here people say war is ugly war is

00:05:27.500 not ugly just because people are fighting each other war is ugly because the longer a war goes

00:05:31.160 on for the more margin for human error there is and the more this kind of thing will happen and

00:05:35.860 the longer this war goes on the more likelihood that some other mishap will eventually happen

00:05:39.980 again it's just the tragedy of war uh i think that's the right approach like you said vinnie

00:05:44.940 it's it's a tragedy regardless of where the missile came from whether it came from iran

00:05:49.140 israel the united states it it doesn't matter children are dead nobody likes seeing that

00:05:53.960 and it's exactly what we have to avoid but we do have to own it we do have to understand that

00:05:58.080 intention is everything yeah and yeah i i i but by the way the way that he said it the way that

00:06:03.700 he manned up and he said it that's how you do it take responsibility he said the department of war

00:06:08.440 So in that sense, Pete Hexeth should come out and say,

00:06:13.260 hey, listen, we made a mistake.

00:06:14.840 God graced all their souls.

00:06:16.600 We made a mistake.

00:06:17.440 Because mind you, that happened, what, week one?

00:06:19.320 Yeah.

00:06:19.540 How many days in?

00:06:20.740 We're the superpower, the most intelligent.

00:06:23.220 Our intelligence community and the Israeli intelligence community,

00:06:25.520 forget it.

00:06:26.040 They're the best.

00:06:27.040 How do you make that mistake that quick,

00:06:28.460 and then you're kind of backtrack and blaming them?

00:06:30.700 I understand it's a tactic of war.

00:06:32.360 But no, bro, you got to come clean and say if it was us.

00:06:34.540 So it was a military base that – it was previously a military base that they had to – they turned into a school.

00:06:42.360 And the DNI, Department of National Intelligence, didn't update the fact that it's now a school with kids in it.

00:06:49.460 And they shot that place down, assuming it's a military place.

00:06:52.480 Yeah.

00:06:53.160 So then that's the part where you have to sit there and wonder how recent did that change?

00:06:58.700 When did that happen?

00:07:00.340 Why were they not updated?

00:07:01.580 Who dropped the ball here?

00:07:02.720 Who was the individual that didn't give the proper information?

00:07:06.020 Was it a U.S. intel?

00:07:07.760 Was it a report they gave to us from Mossad?

00:07:10.060 Who was – somebody dropped the ball and –

00:07:12.800 Why are you converting a military base into a school?

00:07:15.800 Military bases will always be targets.

00:07:18.000 Yeah, military bases – and that's the argument on the other side.

00:07:21.200 Military bases will always be military bases.

00:07:23.580 They'll always be targets.

00:07:25.180 But listen, it's still a valid conversation to have to address this.

00:07:29.040 at the end of the day if you think about war what is the one thing you never ever want to happen in

00:07:34.760 war innocent children yes children never want that this is horrible devastating that something like

00:07:42.200 this happened and you know hopefully they'll come out and the way that kennedy did it you could tell

00:07:47.020 he was in pain when he was doing it that wasn't a comfortable moment for him but he stood up he did

00:07:51.460 it and he moved on i looked it up while you were doing it they're saying that the uh visible

00:07:56.160 satellite since apparently since 2018 it's been converted uh since 2018 that's a long time that's

00:08:02.540 you know there's a hacking story here and that you know some years ago back when um um they may

00:08:10.460 still use them remember tapes the the tapes that were secret and the cia would send or the department

00:08:15.780 of war would send the tapes they were opened in specific um envelopes in specific way and then

00:08:21.500 those tapes were loaded onto cruises right and then there was this whole um thing about pat you

00:08:28.460 know um about bad guys switching the tapes so that the target coordinates that are on these tapes

00:08:35.400 because sometimes the military the guys arming the bombs don't know where the tomahawks are

00:08:41.020 specifically going you're there to set set uh coordinates and you don't know what those

00:08:46.940 coordinates are boom and off they go they launch from the ship and then they go to the targets that

00:08:51.560 have been set and so now we're living in this digital world where you know a change of address

00:08:56.960 form doesn't get filled out and we hit a school yeah um number one but number two now you also

00:09:01.600 have the long-term hacking of you know being able to hack into defense systems and change

00:09:07.520 coordinates of intended targets it was actually 2016 so it's been 10 years yeah you have to

00:09:14.320 wonder do they not do surveillance before targeting sites i mean if like how are you

00:09:18.600 satellite surveillance you have you have control of their airspace you would imagine that they could

00:09:23.480 confirm targets before hitting surveillance you go and you're seeing a bunch of kids coming out

00:09:27.340 you know guys that's what i'm wondering why so if it's 16 10 years this is they drop the ball on

00:09:32.380 this in a big way if it's been 10 years so if you're somebody that's running a sales organization

00:09:38.000 and you're running a business and you want to find a way to improve your sales team results

00:09:42.980 activity in better systems better comp better strategies better innovative campaigns and

00:09:48.620 knowing who to work with who not to work with identify what clients are better clients for you

00:09:52.120 and develop that culture within your guys we host an event once a year called the sales leadership

00:09:57.080 summit and this guy in the video is going to explain it to you every great sales team has

00:10:01.540 three different types of people on its team the finder the closer the builder every once in a

00:10:07.400 while you have a trifecta that does all three let me explain to you what this means finders are

00:10:11.220 great prospectors. They'll go out and find clients, no problems, but they're not good at closing.

00:10:15.920 Closers, put somebody in front of me, I'll close them, but I'm not good at prospecting.

00:10:20.140 Builders, if they become a client, they're very good at retaining, developing relationships,

00:10:24.200 all of that. And if you can develop trifectas that do all three, your company's doing numbers

00:10:30.060 you've never seen before. The last 25 years, I have worked on developing people that are trifectas.

00:10:36.340 If you want to learn how to develop trifectas on your sales team, one CRI host an event called
