Transcript [00:00] Are we headed for regime change? Are we [00:02] headed for regime change? That is the [00:03] big question. And if you missed the [00:05] webinar that we did yesterday, it was [00:08] amazing on that topic of are we headed [00:10] for regime change? I know we had over we [00:12] had close to 2,500 people who registered [00:15] for the webinar. Many of you registered [00:18] for it. I hope you enjoy it. Clips of it [00:20] are going to be posted in the coming [00:22] days on the Israel 365 News Channel. [00:24] You'll be able to pick that up there. [00:26] But, I want to get into this whole issue [00:29] of where we're headed in terms of [00:32] degrading the regime because I think the [00:34] realization is setting in more and more [00:37] with every passing day [00:39] in the Trump administration that if you [00:41] really want to have the Straits of [00:43] Hormuz opened, the the nuclear issue [00:45] dealt with, the proxy issue dealt with, [00:47] if we really want this to be dealt with, [00:49] the only real way is to set the [00:52] conditions for the collapse of the [00:53] regime. On the other hand, there's no [00:56] way anyone in the administration is [00:57] going to say that that's their goal. [00:58] They want to stay far away from talking [01:00] about regime change. [01:02] But, in this clip I'm going to share [01:04] with you and I I want to I want to drill [01:06] down on this clip. It's a clip of an [01:07] interview that Larry Kudlow did with [01:10] General Jack Keane. And in the [01:11] interview, [01:13] Kudlow says something that is very [01:16] interesting. He talks about how Reagan, [01:19] Ronald President Reagan funded the [01:21] resistance in Poland. And he compares [01:24] that to the situation and says that [01:26] Trump should do the same thing in [01:28] helping the resistance or even or [01:29] funding the resistance in Iran. And [01:31] that's the moment I want to get to and [01:32] drill down on. But, to understand the [01:35] full context of this, [01:37] I want to walk through [01:39] more of this exchange in order cuz [01:41] there's a lot buried in this, okay? So, [01:43] we're going to stop this clip a few [01:44] times. I'll make some brief comments. [01:47] And let's get started with it. Let me [01:49] pull it up on screen. [01:52] Here it is. [01:54] And [01:56] and go. Here we go. [01:58] >> Honestly, I don't know. [01:59] Um but I think um [02:01] I think the president himself is [02:03] crossing the Rubicon. I think he [02:05] understands the things you just [02:07] mentioned and the unreliability of [02:09] anything to do with the IRGC. Pieces of [02:11] paper mean nothing to them. [02:13] Um [02:14] they're going to backtrack on every [02:15] single promise. Uh so, I think the [02:18] bombing is essential. I I think he's [02:21] looking hard at invading Karg Island. [02:22] It's a Venezuela-like takeover of their [02:24] oil and you know, their whole economic [02:27] capability. It can be done. We've had [02:29] you know, a lot You You yourself and [02:31] other military experts have said it can [02:32] be done. We've got to reopen the Strait [02:34] of Hormuz. I mean, I'll ask you. Is In [02:37] effect, is we're looking at Project [02:39] Freedom, point number one, Project [02:41] Freedom, [02:42] uh which was what? 35 hours in dry, but [02:45] now that's the goal to reopen the Strait [02:47] of Hormuz. And number two, how about [02:50] Pickaxe uh [02:51] Mountain, for example, and any other [02:53] evidence of nuclear [02:55] uh operations by Iran? I mean, those are [02:57] the two key points, the strait and the [02:59] nuclear options. Um why not take them [03:02] out in both counts? [03:05] >> Yeah, absolutely. I I'm convinced we [03:06] absolutely [03:08] >> Okay. [03:09] So, that's uh [03:11] that's our first clip that we're looking [03:13] at here. [03:15] Um [03:16] so, a few things here. First, crossing [03:18] the Rubicon. But, you hear this a lot [03:20] from people who want to believe that [03:21] Trump is fully committed to finishing [03:23] this. [03:24] And again, I I believe that he is moving [03:27] in that direction, but I'm not so sure [03:28] that he's crossed the Rubicon. He still [03:31] talks about wanting to get a deal. I [03:32] think he still believes that if we keep [03:34] hitting them hard enough, they'll come [03:35] to the table and cry uncle and make a [03:38] deal. [03:39] So, I don't think he's fully there yet [03:41] in really going for the jugular to take [03:43] down the regime. [03:45] Um [03:46] yeah, so I I just think that Kudlow [03:48] might be projecting [03:50] his own Fox News attitude on here uh [03:54] onto the president, but maybe maybe he [03:56] is. We'll come back to that. Let's go a [03:58] little further here. [04:06] >> We will. We're not going to leave them [04:08] with anything [04:09] that smacks of trying to recover [04:12] operations. Pickaxe Mountain is a case [04:14] in [04:15] is a case in point. The concerns I have, [04:18] Larry, going forward uh [04:21] deal with a couple things. One, the Gulf [04:24] states put pressure on our president [04:26] >> Mhm. [04:26] >> uh through the mediators of Pakistani [04:28] and Qatari. And by the way, those two [04:31] countries are absolutely compromised in [04:34] in how much they favor Iran and play [04:36] both sides, the United States and and [04:39] Iran, despite the fact that we have good [04:42] relationships with their leaders. [04:44] Their history and their involvement in [04:48] in complicity here is indisputable [04:50] facts. And they organized the Gulf [04:53] states to put pressure on our president [04:56] uh when he was getting close to going [04:58] back to major combat operations. And [05:00] also, if you recall, [05:03] um you mentioned Project Freedom. [05:06] We were in the 36th hour. The Saudis had [05:09] called and said, "No, you can't use your [05:11] air base, you can't use uh Saudi air [05:13] space. We don't think this is going to [05:15] work either." Others felt the same, and [05:18] we shut that operation down. [05:20] Those regional powers are gathering [05:23] again. The mediators, Pakistani and [05:26] Qatari, are gathering again to put the [05:30] pursue the diplomatic approach, go to a [05:32] cease-fire, and let's work a diplomatic [05:35] solution, despite [05:36] all the evidence we have to the contrary [05:39] now that whatever the Iranians are [05:42] saying to the mediators, Qataris, and [05:45] Pakistanis, or maybe even directly to [05:47] our negotiators, they're saying whatever [05:50] they think we want to hear. And why are [05:53] they saying it? Because they want one [05:55] thing from us. And they got it on April [05:58] the 7th. That is to stop the war. Stop [06:02] shooting at them. That's what they want, [06:04] and they'll say whatever it takes, I [06:06] think, to get that. And they will want [06:09] to hold on to the Straits of Hormuz [06:11] because it's such a key strategic asset [06:14] for them. I think they're willing to [06:16] fight us over it. And they'll go to a [06:18] ceasefire to stop us [06:21] taking control of it. But eventually, [06:24] they will not give up control of this. I [06:26] think the path we're on that the [06:28] president has selected is [06:30] the correct one. Let's finish it. [06:33] >> Yes, I think that's the point. I mean, I [06:35] think the president [06:36] >> Okay, let's pause it right there. [06:39] Uh a lot in this. [06:43] Um a lot in this. [06:50] So, what he's [06:51] So, here what he's talking about Qatar [06:54] and Pakistan, right? I want to I want to [06:56] get back I want to touch on that point. [07:00] Um you know, Qatar and Pakistan are [07:02] compromised, as Jack Keane says. [07:05] They're pushing for a ceasefire that [07:07] serves Iran, not America. Their goal is [07:10] to save the Iranian regime. [07:12] We need more people saying this out [07:14] loud, that Pakistan is not a neutral [07:16] actor, that Qatar is not a neutral [07:17] actor, that they are working to preserve [07:20] the Iranian regime. [07:22] Uh he leaves it as a suspicion, but I [07:25] can give you one of the receipts. In [07:27] fact, I mentioned it in a video a few [07:29] days ago, which I then also wrote up as [07:31] a column in the Jerusalem Post. Here, [07:33] let me show you. [07:34] This appeared in today's paper in the [07:36] Jerusalem Post, the column that I wrote, [07:38] How America Can Actually Win the War [07:40] Against Iran. [07:41] And I talk about a number of things that [07:43] America needs to do to change, you know, [07:44] to turn the tide of this and and really [07:47] drive towards victory. And one of the [07:48] points that I make [07:50] is that Pakistan has been undermining [07:53] the blockade. They opened up six [07:55] overland trade routes. [07:58] Um [07:59] they opened uh six overland trade routes [08:01] since the since the blockade went into [08:03] effect. [08:05] And they're essentially uh [08:07] giving a lifeline to the Iranian regime. [08:10] And they're undercutting the the the [08:12] blockade. So, Washington has known about [08:14] this for months and they don't do [08:15] anything. And if we're serious about [08:16] economic pressure, you got to do that. [08:19] Uh [08:19] you know, you have to shut that down. [08:20] So, it's absolutely true that these [08:23] other these other regional actors are [08:25] actually working against the uh against [08:27] the American interest here. [08:29] And we need to be uh up front about [08:31] that. All right, you know, let's keep [08:32] going with the clip. [08:34] This uh want to play you another bit [08:36] more of it. I want to get to the main [08:37] part that I want to touch on. [08:39] Okay, so [08:41] uh [08:41] this is going to be this next this next [08:43] piece is going to be about 2 minutes [08:44] long. [08:45] Let's take it away. [08:47] >> And himself has crossed the Rubicon. I [08:50] think he is so furious at Iran's [08:52] breaking of all the promises and now [08:55] they're shooting at us and we're taking [08:57] more casualties. All of it is tragic. I [08:59] think he's absolutely furious and I [09:01] think he's exercising these tough [09:04] options. Um you know, I think we'll go [09:06] whether it's project freedom or not, I [09:08] think the goal is to really [09:10] >> open the Strait of Hormuz whatever it [09:12] takes. And I wish he'd get cargo out [09:14] too. Let me ask you another thing now, [09:16] General. This other point that's been in [09:17] back of my head for days and days and [09:19] days and days. [09:21] With Israel, our great ally, okay, and [09:23] there's no sniping at Israel as some [09:25] sources have been, but we'll talk cover [09:27] that another time. Israel and the United [09:30] States should use their secret services [09:33] and foment regime change. We should be [09:36] arming and communicating and [09:39] coordinating and doing what we can. It's [09:42] what President Reagan did. You know, he [09:44] helped to arm people and and give money [09:47] to [09:48] operations in Poland and throughout [09:51] Eastern Europe. He worked with Margaret [09:53] Thatcher as an intermediary and a [09:55] helper. He worked with Pope John Paul [09:57] the second as an intermediary and a [09:59] helper. And his goal was to overthrow [10:01] Soviet communism. As a young man, I [10:04] worked in his budget office in the first [10:06] term and watched this operation unfold [10:08] with people like William Casey running [10:10] the CIA. Why can't Why can't we or maybe [10:13] we are do exactly that with Iran? We [10:16] should provide funding and arming and [10:19] supplying and coordinating and [10:21] communicating with the dissidents in [10:24] Iran. I'm sure we know who they are and [10:26] trying to help them out there and and [10:29] and and use the same tactics that Reagan [10:31] used 40 some odd years ago. Why can't we [10:35] do that, General Keane? [10:37] >> Well, I think we should be doing it if [10:39] we're not. And [10:41] >> Okay, let's pause it there. [10:43] Uh let's pause it there and we'll get to [10:45] Jack Keane's comments in a moment. [10:48] Um [10:50] and we'll get back to the Kharg Island [10:52] issue as well. [10:54] And you know, on Kharg Island, let's [10:56] just deal with that. [10:57] Uh I I think Kharg Island's beside the [10:59] point and my column that I just [11:01] mentioned lays this out. The regime [11:02] doesn't fall because [11:04] because the power grid goes dark or the [11:06] oil terminal gets taken over or [11:08] destroyed. That that will cause [11:09] tremendous damage to them and that could [11:12] lead to the regime falling way down the [11:14] road because the economy is so badly [11:16] hit. [11:17] But they could still remain in power [11:19] even if they're impotent about harming [11:22] their enemy harming neighboring [11:23] countries, harming Israel. [11:25] And if they remain in power, then it's [11:27] just a matter of waiting after Trump [11:29] term, getting more money, [11:31] you know, and and they remain in power [11:33] down the decades and they don't have to [11:35] deal with Donald Trump anymore. [11:37] Um [11:38] it's also even if it even if it would [11:41] bring down the regime it was very slow [11:42] and indirect as that's what I lay out in [11:44] my piece that there's much more direct [11:45] ways to to harm the regime. [11:49] Again, my point [clears throat] being [11:50] that destroying infrastructure is not [11:52] what the regime fears most. What it [11:54] fears most is its own people and that's [11:57] why I believe that there should be a [11:59] strategic shift to think about it in [12:01] terms of what do they fear most and [12:04] that's where we should put efforts and [12:05] that's why this Kudlow comment about [12:08] about helping the resistance against the [12:10] regime is so interesting to me. Now it [12:14] would scare the heck of a lot of [12:15] Americans. Oh, it's this sounds like [12:16] we're getting involved in things that [12:18] sounds like, you know, neocon forever [12:20] wars. [12:21] But it doesn't involve American boots on [12:23] the ground. And that's [12:26] this is this is what Keenan you know, [12:28] Jack Keane is about to comment on. Okay, [12:30] and I'm going to get I'm going to come [12:31] back to all this [12:33] very very soon. Okay, we're going to [12:34] talk about what he's suggesting here [12:36] what he's and and you know, bringing up [12:37] Reagan. It's all very interesting. But [12:39] let's finish up here. Let's finish the [12:41] clip. We have another 2 minutes left. [12:43] >> And what I've called for many times is I [12:46] believe the president should be [12:47] presented a combined plan developed by [12:49] the Mossad and the CIA that does two [12:52] essential things. [12:53] >> Yes. [12:54] >> One, [12:55] undermines the regime itself in terms of [12:58] breaking that apart, breaking down trust [13:00] in each other, you know, buying people's [13:03] loyalty and disloyalty to the regime. [13:05] There's all sorts of things that the CIA [13:07] and Mossad know how to do here to strip [13:10] away a regime that's under fire and is [13:13] starting to question itself and sees an [13:15] economic [13:16] peril in front of them. [13:18] >> See, but it's not only CIA and Mossad [13:20] covert activities. This is what I laid [13:22] out in my piece [13:24] that there are things that they can can [13:25] done very publicly that would that would [13:27] have the same effect, and they don't [13:29] cost a thing. [13:30] Like, one example that I gave was there [13:33] should be a public call by the Americans [13:37] to that the Iranians must show proof of [13:41] signs of life, proof of functionality of [13:43] the supreme leader, Mojtaba Khamenei. [13:47] And and because because he's ostensibly [13:50] the person who's making the decisions [13:51] that we're negotiating with, so we want [13:53] to know that he's actually alive. We [13:54] want to see the man we're negotiating [13:55] with. And I believe that doing that in a [13:58] very public way [14:00] and the news will get through to the [14:01] Iranian people that that demand was [14:03] made, and when the Iranian regime cannot [14:06] produce Mojtaba Khamenei, which I [14:08] believe they cannot, because they've [14:10] they've I mean [14:12] the hiding of him has gotten so absurd [14:14] at this point that I believe that they [14:15] cannot. I believe he's either dead or [14:17] incapacitated. [14:18] But if they did that [14:20] it would the the doubt that it would [14:22] plant in the minds of millions of [14:24] Iranians about whether he's actually [14:26] alive could do a tremendous amount to [14:28] destabilize the regime. [14:30] And it's the type of card that they're [14:32] not playing right now. Let's keep going. [14:34] >> The second thing is, and you're talking [14:37] about it, is put together a a [14:39] comprehensive plan, both agencies, to [14:42] help the Iranians resist. And certainly [14:46] some of that would be armed resistance [14:48] to groups that are willing to [14:50] participate in that endeavor. We have [14:52] successfully done it. These agencies [14:55] know what they're doing here. Our [14:57] history here is pretty clear. [14:59] President Reagan assigned those missions [15:01] to the Central Intelligence Agency. He [15:03] didn't want to fight the Soviet Union [15:05] directly. He wanted to deter them, but [15:07] he wanted to deter their expansion as [15:10] well. And that's why he helped the the [15:12] Mujahideen in Afghanistan defeat uh [15:15] Soviet uh helicopters [15:18] uh Russian helicopters as well. And and [15:21] then go on into Nicaragua, Angola, and [15:24] as you mentioned in the Poland, he [15:26] didn't provide lethal aid to the Poles, [15:28] but he provided lots of assistance to to [15:31] certainly buck up their cause. And I can [15:33] remember having a conversation with Lech [15:36] Walesa, who was in charge of that [15:37] movement inside of Poland. And years [15:39] later, he is still describing in tears [15:42] in front of me what it felt like to have [15:45] Reagan's voice [15:47] being amplified among his movement in [15:51] terms of his support for what they were [15:53] doing. It gave them the moral will and [15:57] physical courage to go forward with that [15:59] movement. Yes, leadership and covert [16:02] operations here together can be a very [16:05] very powerful tool in addition to what [16:08] Secretary Bevin is doing, in addition to [16:10] the naval blockade, in addition to what [16:13] uh [16:14] kinetic operations by IDF and United [16:17] States combined could do if we go back [16:19] into major combat operations. You put it [16:21] all together, and you put this regime on [16:24] a pathway to collapse and eventually [16:26] replacement. [16:28] >> History requires a General Keane. [16:31] >> All right. [16:33] Now now you see why I wanted to talk [16:35] about this clip. I think that uh [16:38] this conversation, this um [16:42] you know, this historical comparison and [16:44] and what what Jack Keane just said there [16:46] about leadership, about what it what it [16:49] would mean to the Iranian people if [16:51] President Trump would simply make [16:52] statements at this point, [16:54] calling the people back out into the [16:56] streets and having Israeli air cover. [16:58] These are things that I wrote about in [16:59] my piece, but let me you know, let me [17:01] let me back up and give you my full take [17:04] on what we just saw here. [17:07] So, the Reagan comparison. [17:10] Right? He's saying that there is a [17:11] playbook. Let's go Let's go to the [17:14] examples he gave. [17:15] Poland. Starting in 1982, Reagan [17:18] authorized covert CIA funding funneled [17:21] largely through [17:23] the the AFL-CIO, if you believe that. [17:26] And and there were channels also that [17:29] tied it into the Vatican. You saw that [17:30] Kudlow mentioned that he mentioned Pope [17:32] John Paul II who helped with that. [17:34] Back when the Vatican actually cared [17:36] about fighting fighting evil. [17:40] So, there was this covert CIA funding [17:42] that was funneled [17:44] through to the Polish resistance to keep [17:46] the Solidarity trade union alive after [17:49] after martial law by the Soviets crushed [17:51] it. And we're talking [17:53] um printing presses, radio equipment, [17:55] funds were smuggled in [17:58] again to keep the underground movement [18:00] functioning over years. And it wasn't [18:02] only money. [18:03] There was also the rhetoric as Jack [18:05] Keane mentioned that Reagan said out [18:07] loud repeatedly that Solidarity had [18:09] America's moral backing. That moral [18:11] backing really matters to people. [18:14] So, that's what Keane mentioned in this [18:15] clip that that uh you know, that when he [18:17] was meeting Lech Wałęsa who was the head [18:19] of the of the Polish uh [18:20] of the of the Polish resistance to the [18:22] Soviets [18:23] when he he was meeting with with Lech [18:25] Wałęsa years later [18:27] he broke down crying describing what it [18:29] felt like to hear Reagan's voice [18:31] amplifying their movement. Okay, this is [18:33] it it's not a it's not a small thing. [18:36] It's part of the whole strategy. We have [18:38] to think not only in terms of this kind [18:40] of linear way that we achieve our goals [18:41] like, oh, the Straits of Hormuz are [18:42] closed, let's bomb all the all of the [18:44] military positions to open it. You have [18:46] to think also in terms of things like [18:48] this. [18:49] Um [18:50] you know, material support plus public [18:53] legitimization of the Iranian people [18:55] working together. [18:57] Now, in Afghanistan, this is [18:59] interesting. [19:01] Um it was called Operation Cyclone. It [19:03] was run through run through the CIA [19:05] under William Casey, the guy that Kudlow [19:08] mentioned there. There was billions of [19:09] dollars funneled through Pakistani [19:11] intelligence arming the Mujahideen [19:14] against the Soviets [19:16] including later in the program Stinger [19:18] missiles that neutralized Soviet air [19:20] superiority. [19:21] Now we we have to be honest about this. [19:23] It's historically complicated. Some of [19:25] that pipeline later fit, you know, later [19:28] fed into networks uh terrorist networks [19:31] that caused the US problems in the [19:32] Middle East. [19:34] So that's a real caveat that that [19:36] serious people would raise about what [19:38] Kudlow is saying here or what what [19:39] they're both saying here about [19:40] Afghanistan. [19:42] Um but the strategic logic is remains [19:45] the same. [19:47] That you you [19:49] don't just think about attacks in a [19:51] kinetic military sense. Bleed a hostile [19:54] regime through its own internal dynamics [19:57] and its own internal conflicts. [19:59] But that that's the that's the that's [20:01] the direction of the thinking here. And [20:02] that's more important than the specific [20:04] examples. [20:05] Okay, because again, we we probably have [20:07] mixed feelings. We should have mixed [20:08] feelings about Afghanistan. Nicaragua [20:10] also. He brought up Nicaragua. The [20:12] Contras were backed by the CIA against [20:14] the Sandinista government. [20:16] And this one got Reagan into real [20:18] trouble. There was the whole Iran-Contra [20:19] affair, you might remember. [20:20] Congressional uh hearings, restrictions. [20:23] It was it was a big scandal. But even [20:25] that controversy proves the same point [20:27] that Washington already has the [20:29] institutional muscle [20:32] uh [20:32] and and muscle memory [20:34] for ex- for exactly this kind of [20:36] operation. The mechanisms exist. [20:39] Right, the precedent exists. [20:41] The only question is whether the [20:42] administration is willing to use it [20:44] here. Right? So when when Jack Keane [20:45] says we should be we should be doing it [20:48] if we're not, [20:49] um [20:51] you know, the [20:52] he's talking about the Reagan doctrine [20:54] applied to Iran [20:56] rather than what it was applied to in [20:58] the past, the Eastern Bloc, Central [21:00] America, but it was also applied in [21:01] Afghanistan. If you break the regime's [21:04] grip from the inside, [21:06] from the inside, arm the people who are [21:08] willing to resist. Pair it with loud [21:10] public legitimization of the resistance. [21:14] That's what he's talking about here. [21:16] Um [21:19] Now, [21:22] now Jack Keane stops short of specifics, [21:24] right? He talks about how, you know, [21:26] that they should come up with a plan. [21:28] Right? He says the CIA, I think the [21:30] exact quote he said was the CIA Mossad [21:32] should put together a plan. But he [21:34] doesn't say what the plan should [21:35] actually contain. Now, in my column [21:37] uh that ran in the in the Jerusalem Post [21:39] today, shameless plug, I laid out five [21:42] concrete moves. I've mentioned a few of [21:44] them already in this video. First, [21:45] demand public proof of the life of [21:47] Mojtaba Khamenei, right? Cuz every [21:49] statement from him since February has [21:50] been a written text. [21:52] Uh he hasn't even put out a video a [21:55] video message. [21:57] And that's got nothing to do with [21:58] security precautions, right? That So, [22:00] uh [22:01] demand that. Second, let Israel finish [22:03] off Hezbollah, Iran's foreign legion, [22:05] uh without restraint. Third, call on the [22:07] Iranian people to come back into the [22:09] streets. Give them encouragement. [22:11] Doesn't cost anything. [22:13] And back the call up by [22:16] giving Israel the green light to provide [22:17] drone cover over Iranian cities to [22:19] protect the protesters from the Basij [22:21] and the IRGC. Fourth, stop the bombing [22:25] or stop the bombing of infrastructure [22:27] and start bombing the IRGC, the [22:30] checkpoints, the headquarters, the [22:31] training bases, [22:32] the IRGC and the Basij. Bomb them. [22:35] Right? You're not going to cause as much [22:36] damage to the country, and you'll move [22:38] closer, it'll move you, it'll accelerate [22:41] victory. It'll have a double effect. And [22:44] fifth, the last thing I I suggested is [22:47] the Pakistani trade routes that we that [22:50] I talked about that I mentioned before. [22:51] Call out the Pakistanis for these for [22:54] for for undermining the blockade. [22:58] Put an end to that somehow. So, and and [23:00] and my big [23:01] point in this piece is that all of these [23:04] all of these [23:05] uh suggestions that I make here can be [23:07] done without a single American boot on [23:09] the ground. [23:10] It needs It all it needs is President [23:12] Trump to say plainly [23:14] um that [23:16] you know, that this is the direction [23:17] we're going now. They Remember, they [23:19] don't fear the bombs. [23:21] They fear the people. They fear the [23:24] people. [23:25] And that's the piece that was missing [23:26] from this whole conversation was some [23:28] was you know, some putting meat on the [23:29] bones of this. You know, Kudlow and and [23:31] and and General Keane, they got us 80% [23:34] of the way there, right? The instinct is [23:36] right. The historical parallels are [23:38] interesting. [23:40] But the mechanism to do this is what I [23:42] laid out in that Jerusalem Post piece. [23:44] Uh [23:45] so, you know, go read the full column. [23:47] You can go to jpost.com and you and go [23:50] to the opinion page and find it or you [23:51] can you can just Google my name and [23:54] jpost or Jerusalem Post and and my name [23:57] and you'll get my author page. I have an [23:59] author page at the Jerusalem Post site [24:01] and the most recent piece on the author [24:03] page is the piece that ran today. You'll [24:05] find it there. [24:06] Um [24:08] So, yeah.
