Transcript [00:00] So, President Trump gave an interview to [00:03] Glenn Beck yesterday and they talked [00:05] about a number of topics that are of [00:06] interest and I'm going to play you an [00:09] excerpt of that interview. A couple of [00:11] topics that uh are addressed there. One [00:13] of them is the state of the Supreme [00:16] Leader Mosha, a topic that we've [00:18] discussed on this channel and what the [00:20] implications are. He also talked about [00:22] the Iranian people. Glenn asked him [00:24] about uh the Iranian people and uh you [00:28] know whether or not they could get some [00:29] weapons so that they could rise up [00:31] against the regime. And that's also uh [00:34] an interesting clip that we're going to [00:35] address. So let's get into this clip [00:37] here. Here we go. Here's uh President [00:40] Trump with Glenn Beck [00:42] of all places is reporting and this is [00:45] starting to become commonplace that the [00:47] Ayatollah is dead. [00:50] >> Is the Ayatollah dead? And um is there a [00:54] way to win this war? I mean really win [00:58] this war um and have them [01:01] unconditionally surrender without the [01:04] people rising up who don't have any [01:06] guns. So is he dead and are where are we [01:10] on the war? [01:12] >> I don't think he's dead. He was very [01:15] seriously wounded. uh the left side of [01:18] his body, uh the arm, the leg, the whole [01:21] thing. He was very seriously wounded, [01:23] but I don't think he's dead. Uh and if [01:26] he is, they're putting on a pretty good [01:28] show because they talk about, you know, [01:30] going back to talk to him all the time, [01:32] you know, to get a final blessing on [01:34] things. But, you know, you make a deal [01:36] with them, it's like uh not the it's not [01:39] the most honorable group. I will tell [01:41] you that. And, you know, we have the [01:43] straight open. We took out 22 boats last [01:45] night. We have people coming in the [01:47] blockade. Our navy has been [01:49] unbelievable. Our military has been [01:50] unbelievable. The combination but and [01:53] our our financial strength that we built [01:56] it up so much like you wouldn't believe [01:58] in a year and a half. Our financial [02:00] strength is unbelievable. And those [02:02] things are going toward a very big [02:04] victory. We had the victory in Venezuela [02:07] and we're going to have a big victory [02:08] here very soon. [02:12] >> Okay, let's talk about this. So, [02:16] so President Trump is asked if he's [02:18] alive or dead. He says he believes he's [02:19] alive and that he was very severely [02:21] injured. And then he starts talking [02:22] about uh how [02:24] uh you know about how well the financial [02:27] warfare is going. And there's a [02:29] connection between those two things, but [02:30] I don't think it's the one that [02:31] President Trump intended, which is [02:35] this economic warfare is wonderful. Go [02:37] ahead. I think it's great. I'm in favor [02:40] of anything that weakens their the [02:42] Iranian regime. [02:44] However, as I've said many times, it's [02:47] built on the assumption that there is [02:49] some sort of breaking point at which the [02:52] people running the regime will [02:55] lose control because the economy gets so [02:57] bad or maybe through some secondary that [03:02] because the economy gets so bad, the [03:04] people finally rise up even though they [03:05] might get gunned down in the streets, [03:07] which we'll get to more in a few [03:09] minutes. Uh that's also not so [03:14] it's not so clear that that's going to [03:15] work. Remember the people at the top of [03:16] the regime, they're not starving. They [03:18] have plenty of food. They have plenty of [03:20] you know they have everything. You know [03:22] they're not they're not the ones who are [03:23] starving. It's the people who are [03:24] starving. [03:25] Uh so he's talking about how well the [03:27] economic blockade is working. We had a [03:28] great victory in Venezuela. We'll have [03:30] one in Iran. These are two completely [03:31] different situations. The victory in [03:33] Venezuela was over Marxist tyrants uh [03:37] who want money and power. And here [03:39] you're dealing with, you know, fanatical [03:41] 12 or Shiites. And uh it's it's also a [03:45] very different scale. Whatever. There [03:47] there's that. Again, I'm happy with the [03:50] economic warfare. I think it's great. [03:53] But his comments on Moshtaba bring to [03:55] mind what I said about Moshaba [03:58] last month. I I wrote a a column in the [04:01] Jerusalem Post about this. Uh and I also [04:04] made a video about it. Well, it wasn't [04:05] just about Moshaba, but I talked about a [04:07] number of of uh moves the Americans [04:10] could make, a number of things the [04:11] Americans could do that would really [04:14] weaken the Iranian regime and actually [04:16] bring about victory, none of which [04:18] involve putting American troops on the [04:21] ground. [04:23] And one of the suggestions I made was [04:26] that the Americans should demand [04:30] a public verification that Mosha Bakami [04:35] is alive and functioning. [04:37] And my reasoning [04:39] went like this. My reasoning was [04:42] it's true from our perspective in terms [04:45] of who we're negotiating with. If we're [04:46] negotiating, we don't really care if the [04:48] guy's alive or dead. [04:50] But it's extremely important to them. [04:56] It's extremely important to the [04:57] Iranians, to the regime itself, that [05:00] everyone believe that Mosha Bakani is [05:02] alive. [05:04] And because it's so important to them, [05:08] that alive and functioning that because [05:11] it's so important to them [05:14] is exactly why the Americans should [05:16] press for verification. And the logic [05:18] that they could offer, it's very simple. [05:21] You Iranians keep telling us that every [05:25] decision you make has to be approved of [05:28] or or rubber stamped by the Supreme [05:30] Leader. [05:32] We don't know who we're really [05:33] negotiating with. So, we're not going to [05:35] have any talks with anyone, no mediators [05:37] or anything unless you prove that he's [05:38] alive. Now, I'm not saying that they [05:39] should do that now because now there is [05:41] there are no negotiations. [05:43] But the Americans could certainly lean [05:45] into this issue and put out, you know, [05:50] deepen the skepticism about whether or [05:52] not he's alive [05:54] because it will have a real impact. [05:56] It'll have more impact than what they're [05:57] doing economically in my opinion. It'll [05:59] have more impact than bombing anything [06:01] in my opinion [06:03] because ultimately the only thing that [06:06] will actually bring down this regime is [06:08] the Iranian people and the the and [06:11] destabilizing the regime. Trump still [06:14] believes, and he could be right. There [06:16] could be some breaking point that's [06:17] undetermined that we don't know when [06:19] we're going to hit, but maybe there [06:21] isn't. Trump is Trump believes that [06:23] there's a breaking point that the [06:24] economic that the economic pressure will [06:27] will uh will lead to that will cause [06:30] instability in the regime enough that it [06:33] either capitulates or collapses. [06:36] But I believe that you could get to that [06:37] same instabilize [06:40] the regime in other ways. And that's [06:41] what that whole piece that I wrote was [06:43] about. But I want to drill down a little [06:45] further on this Mosha thing. Let's take [06:47] a look at the Atlantic piece that Glenn [06:49] Beck was referring to. I'm just going to [06:50] read you a few excerpts from it. [06:53] Is Mosha Moshba dead? [06:57] So just a few excerpts here. Iran wire, [07:00] a Londonbased opposition outlet, reports [07:01] that not a single cabinet member has met [07:04] with Moshaba since he became supreme [07:06] leader. Not even Moshaba's close friends [07:08] and relatives have seen him. Fewer than [07:11] five people have met with Moshtabbas [07:13] since his ascent to power. Muhammad [07:15] Hussein Hoshvat, a former official and [07:19] relative of Moshtabbuzz, told me due to [07:22] security precautions. [07:24] But the totality of Moshtabba's [07:26] invisibility and a recent decline in [07:30] statements from his office have set [07:33] Teahran a buzz with new rumors of his [07:37] death. Some sources inside and close to [07:39] the government speculated to me that [07:40] Moshaba recently died from the injuries [07:43] that he had sustained in February. And [07:45] irrespective of his actual status, the [07:48] uncertainty might have major [07:50] implications for Iran. Quote, I believe [07:52] Moshaba has either passed away or is [07:54] dead. a staffer at a government [07:56] institution in Tehran told me, citing [07:59] the tailing off of even indirect [08:01] communication from the leader to the [08:02] outside world, meaning it's gone totally [08:05] silent. [08:07] At least two other government officials [08:09] told me the same. One said that he [08:11] believed Moshaba died or became brain [08:14] dead earlier this month. [08:17] Two sources in the Iranian government [08:19] recently told Iran wire that word had [08:21] spread among those at the highest level [08:24] of the regime that Moshaba was doing [08:25] very poorly and could die at any moment. [08:30] Now this family member then tried to say [08:34] no. Oh, this is all propaganda. But look [08:36] at what he says. Koshvat assured me that [08:39] most of us definitely alive. The rumors [08:41] about the leader's death are quote part [08:43] of a psychological war hoping to [08:46] demoralize Iran's officials and its [08:48] people for them to give up the pressures [08:51] and threats of America. [08:53] For them to give up to the pressures and [08:55] threats of America, he said. He added [08:57] that the rumors also aimed to embolden [08:59] Iranians opposed to the regime, [09:03] giving them courage to come to the [09:06] streets so that the plan of the US and [09:08] Israel can be realized. Look at what he [09:10] just said. He just made my point for me. [09:15] He just confirmed what I've been saying. [09:17] I'm not saying that to pat myself on the [09:18] back. I'm saying that to to zero in on [09:21] how the Americans are not handling this [09:23] exactly as they should. [09:26] He just said that [09:30] that if if it becomes the prevailing [09:33] belief or it becomes verified that [09:34] Moshaba is not functioning or is dead, [09:38] it will embolden the Iranian people and [09:41] give them courage to come out into the [09:43] streets. So if that's the case, then [09:45] this is exactly what the Americans [09:47] should be doing. [09:50] It doesn't cost you anything. Lean into [09:52] it. Say that you believe that he's dead. [09:54] play the propaganda war or just demand [09:57] that you see him. Say we will not kill [09:58] him. We promise you we will not kill [10:00] him, but we want to see him. We want to [10:02] meet with him. [10:05] Or just put out there, we don't say we [10:07] don't believe you that he's alive. Let [10:10] lean into the doubts. [10:14] Embolden the people. [10:17] Did I is there anything more in here I [10:19] wanted to read? No, that's it. So, this [10:21] is this is very significant. If these [10:22] rumors are growing, meaning this is not [10:24] a this is not a static situation. [10:25] They're saying that in the last month [10:27] it's gone radio silent there and there's [10:29] no more messages coming out of his [10:30] office. And this the author of this [10:33] piece, Arash Azizi, spoke to multiple [10:36] people in the regime who said to him [10:37] that there's a belief that he's dead [10:39] now. If this starts spilling out to the [10:42] people more, as it says in the piece, it [10:44] will embolden them. [10:47] This is huge. Let's go back to what [10:49] let's go back to Trump's comments. You [10:51] understand my point, right? Which is the [10:56] this is something this is an easy way. [10:58] Look, let me back up. My real point is [11:01] that if you want to defeat the Iranians [11:04] or get them to capitulate, whatever your [11:06] goal is, if you want to achieve these [11:08] objectives, if you want to get to [11:10] victory, you have to get into the head [11:13] of your enemy. And you have to also [11:16] think about how they define defeat. What [11:18] do they fear most? [11:21] You can't just define it on your own [11:23] terms. [11:25] And that's what the Americans are are [11:27] still not 100% doing right. They still [11:29] think that economics rules the day. And [11:32] that's why it's so frustrating. It's [11:34] great. Look, again, I'm all in favor [11:36] blockade, economic warfare, D-Day, [11:38] whatever you want to call it. Wonderful. [11:40] Will it work? Maybe. I don't know. But [11:43] even if it works, it'll work in a very [11:45] long, drawn out, indirect way. If you go [11:48] after the regime itself, [11:50] that's how you can actually win. And [11:52] this relates to uh another clip uh [11:55] another piece of this interview. Let's [11:57] just let's pick it up where we left off. [12:00] Can we I mean uh because these people [12:04] are not it's not like you're negotiating [12:07] with westernminded people. These people [12:09] want chaos and death and everything [12:11] else. [12:12] Can is any has there been any talk [12:15] anywhere of anybody I'm not saying us [12:18] supplying the people with the ability to [12:21] fire back because you've got to get the [12:23] 80% of the people to stand up. Do you [12:26] foresee them being able to stand up in [12:28] the future and [12:29] >> a lot this regime, [12:32] >> right? They say this. [12:33] >> Okay, hold on. Before we get to Trump's [12:34] answer, notice what Glenn asked him. [12:37] Glenn is asking him about whether there [12:41] it's on the horizon in any way that [12:43] someone will get weapons to these [12:46] people. That's the question he asks him. [12:51] >> So surprised that the people aren't [12:53] fighting back. But Glenn, if you were in [12:55] that position, and you're a brave guy. [12:57] Have watched your whole career. I've [12:59] been a fan of yours for a long time. [13:00] You're a brave guy, but I don't think [13:02] you'd be standing out there when they [13:04] have a machine gun nest, but you know, [13:05] they have really snipers at the tops of [13:08] buildings and people go out to protest [13:11] and they get hit and they don't have to [13:13] hit many, but when you see five or six [13:16] or 10 people go down and you have a [13:20] hundred,000 or 200,000 people, they [13:23] leave. No, I don't care who you are, [13:25] they leave. [13:26] >> Yeah. [13:26] >> And it's very hard to protest when you [13:28] have people that are willing to shoot [13:29] you and kill you. And that's why they're [13:32] not protesting. And there is a chance [13:35] because they have become very much [13:37] weakened. You know, their navy is, as [13:39] you know, totally gone. Their air force [13:41] is totally gone. Uh they're not their [13:44] soldiers, many of their soldiers aren't [13:45] being paid. Uh they have 300 I think 300 [13:49] I heard 90%. I I heard I think it's 300% [13:53] inflation. [13:54] Their their monetary their money is is [13:58] almost valueless now. I mean, they're [14:00] not doing very well. And you know, I [14:02] would have to and I could have told you [14:04] the same thing, not as strongly, but two [14:07] months ago, three months ago, and I'd [14:09] have to read the New York Times saying [14:10] how well they're doing. They're not [14:12] they're not actually saying that [14:13] anymore, which is hard to believe. I'm [14:15] surprised they don't continue to say it. [14:17] But you know there was so much fake news [14:19] put out because right from the beginning [14:21] from the B2 bombers a little more than a [14:23] year ago where we knocked out the [14:24] nuclear to the president we have really [14:28] dominated [14:30] really truly dominated. [14:33] >> Um [14:36] okay let's take a look at what Trump [14:39] just said there. Right. He's he didn't [14:41] answer the question. [14:44] The question Glenn Beck asked him was [14:45] about the possibility of getting weapons [14:47] into the hands of these people. Trump [14:49] went on to explain why they're not [14:51] coming out to protest because they'll [14:52] get killed, [14:55] right? Because they don't have weapons. [14:58] And you know how, you know, you wouldn't [15:00] go protest either. They're snipers. You [15:02] know, the IRGC is ready to kill the [15:04] protesters. [15:06] So, this is another one. This goes back [15:08] to another one of the recommendations I [15:10] made in that column that I talked about. [15:12] One of my recommendations was [15:16] call the Iranian people back out into [15:18] the streets [15:20] and provide air cover for them using [15:23] drones [15:24] or or helicopters [15:27] or ask the Israelis to do it who said [15:29] they would. You see, or let me back up. [15:35] Here's what I'm really getting at. I'm [15:37] not even talking about this or that [15:38] suggestion of what to do. talking more [15:40] about about you know Trump's response [15:44] here [15:46] it it again reveals [15:49] that what he's focused on how he defines [15:52] victory is not what will actually [15:56] defeat [15:58] it's not how the other side defines [16:00] their defeat right what did he just say [16:02] right after he finished giving the [16:04] answer about the Iranian people who if [16:07] they come out they'll get slaughtered he [16:09] then pivoted is saying we've destroyed [16:10] their navy. They're they have 300% [16:13] inflation, [16:14] etc., etc. All the ways that America [16:17] thinks of of victory, that we destroyed [16:19] their navy and we've caused them [16:21] economic hardship. [16:23] But that's those aren't but those aren't [16:25] the things that the the Iranian regime [16:27] is most afraid of. What they're most [16:29] afraid of is their people. So, I I want [16:32] to play you a clip of President Trump. [16:35] He's just talking about how the IRGC has [16:37] snipers and they'll kill people, right? [16:40] I'm going to play you a clip of [16:41] President Trump from day one of the war. [16:43] This is this is a piece of the speech [16:45] that he gave, that 8-minute speech that [16:48] he gave announcing the launch of Epic [16:51] Fury on February 28th. I want you to [16:53] take a look at this clip. Revolutionary [16:55] Guard, the Armed Forces, and all of the [16:58] police. I say tonight that you must lay [17:02] down your weapons and have complete [17:04] immunity or in the alternative, face [17:07] certain death. So lay down your arms. [17:11] You will be treated fairly with total [17:14] immunity or you will face certain death. [17:19] Finally, to the great proud people of [17:21] Iran, I say tonight that the hour of [17:24] your freedom is at hand. Stay sheltered. [17:27] Don't leave your home. It's very [17:29] dangerous outside. Bombs will be [17:31] dropping everywhere. When we are [17:33] finished, take over your government. It [17:35] will be yours to take. This will be [17:38] probably your only chance for [17:41] generations. For many years, you have [17:44] asked for America's help, but you never [17:46] got it. No president was willing to do [17:49] what I am willing to do tonight. Now you [17:52] have a president who is giving you what [17:54] you want. So let's see how you respond. [17:58] America is backing you with overwhelming [18:00] strength and devastating force. Now is [18:03] the time to seize control of your [18:05] destiny and to unleash the prosperous [18:08] and glorious future that is close within [18:11] your reach. This is the moment for [18:13] action. Do not let it pass. [18:16] >> Okay? stay inside your homes, [18:18] but this is the moment for action. What [18:20] he basically is saying, stay inside your [18:22] homes. We're going to create the [18:23] conditions for you to take over your [18:25] your uh to take back control of your [18:28] government, meaning when the time is [18:30] right. That's right. That's what he's [18:33] telling them. That's what he's telling [18:34] them. [18:37] You know, I I think about this clip [18:38] every day when I think about the Iranian [18:41] people and I think about this clip and [18:43] what Trump said here and at the [18:45] beginning of it where he's talking to [18:46] the IRGC to the Iranian police and [18:49] saying lay down your weapons or face [18:51] certain death. Nah, they didn't lay they [18:53] didn't face certain death and they [18:54] didn't lay down their weapons. They [18:55] brought in reinforcements from other [18:57] Shiite neighboring countries. They [19:00] didn't face certain death and the [19:02] Iranian people were told to stay home [19:03] until the time was right and then they [19:05] were never called back out into the [19:06] street. The time was never right. [19:10] Let me take you back to March, a few [19:13] weeks, two weeks after this speech was [19:15] given. I want to show you some headlines [19:17] from then. [19:22] Let's make this a little bit bigger [19:24] here. [19:26] Take a look. [19:27] IDF strikes besiege militia checkpoints [19:30] soldiers in Tehran. [19:33] The Israeli Air Force guided by IDF [19:34] intelligence struck the checkpoints and [19:37] besieged militia members, furthering the [19:40] degradation of Iranian internal security [19:42] and besieged assets. The IDF struck and [19:45] destroyed checkpoints and roadblocks set [19:46] up by the Iranian regime's besiege [19:48] militia in Tehran. The Israeli Air Force [19:51] guided by IDF intelligence struck the [19:52] checkpoints of the besiege. That's the [19:55] storm troopers. the besieges like the [19:56] enforcers, the stormtroopers in the [19:58] streets, furthering the degradation of [20:00] Iran's internal security and besiege [20:02] assets. Several Iranian regime security [20:05] personnel and besieged militia members [20:06] were killed in a series of Israeli drone [20:09] strikes on Thran. [20:12] See what happened and and what did it [20:14] lead to? This is from the same week. [20:18] Desertions, shortages, and army RGC rift [20:23] strain Iran's military. you started to [20:25] see cracks in the actual regime itself. [20:28] That's the IRGC. [20:30] Iran's armed forces are facing acute [20:32] supply shortages, rising desertions, [20:35] and deepening friction. [20:38] Right. One of the sharpest points of [20:40] friction appears to involve medical [20:41] support for wounded soldiers. There's no [20:44] soldiers in Iran getting wounded now. [20:46] The Americans aren't even attacking [20:47] their personnel. [20:49] Sources said that regular army units are [20:51] suffering significant casualties from [20:53] what? from the Israelis from the [20:55] Israelis attacking them from the air. [20:58] Sources said attempts by the [20:59] revolutionary guards to mobilize reserve [21:01] forces earlier this week produced [21:03] limited results. Many of those summoned [21:05] for service reportedly did not report to [21:07] military centers. [21:09] Instead, some individuals used the [21:11] situation to leave their areas and [21:13] assist family members in moving toward [21:15] border regions in the hope of leaving [21:16] the country. They were deserting. [21:21] There were mass desertions beginning in [21:25] the IRGC in the besiege. They were [21:27] getting hit from the air. They were [21:28] getting killed. It was causing tension [21:30] and chaos. That is what would and then [21:34] if that had continued [21:37] if that had continued [21:39] then now we're talking [21:42] and the Israelis around that time [21:44] towards the end of March said that they [21:47] would provide def uh security from the [21:49] air to the Iranian protesters when the [21:51] time was right for them to come out to [21:53] protect them from the IRGC and the [21:56] besiege who they were degrading by the [21:58] day. [22:00] That's how you win. [22:02] So when Trump is asked, "What about the [22:04] Iranian people getting them out?" He [22:06] says, "Well, you know, if they come out [22:07] into the street, they're going to get [22:08] gunned down and hey, we destroyed their [22:10] navy and they and they have terrible [22:11] inflation and they're really not doing [22:13] well." [22:15] Do you understand what I'm pointing out [22:16] here? I again, I don't want to dump on [22:19] President Trump. It's great. What he's [22:20] doing is wonderful. and he and he's the [22:23] only president who's done anything about [22:25] Iran and it is it is what he's doing is [22:29] weakening them and potentially brings [22:30] them down. But I'm just frustrated here [22:33] because the the Iranian people have been [22:36] have been have been forgotten about. [22:38] When asked directly about them, Trump [22:40] gave this answer that didn't really [22:42] answer the question about what will [22:44] really, you know, he was basically asked [22:46] when are we going to provide the real [22:48] conditions to help them take back their [22:50] their country? and his answer was [22:52] basically we're not going to. It was [22:54] just yeah it's a pretty bad situation [22:55] cuz they're going to get killed if they [22:56] come into the street. That was his [22:58] answer. [23:00] So it's a little frustrating because [23:02] there's so it this goes together with [23:04] the Moshaba conversation. [23:07] It goes it's exactly the same thing. [23:09] It's about looking at the situation [23:13] and saying what is the path to victory? [23:16] What is the most effective path to [23:17] victory? And the Americans have decided [23:19] that the effective path to victory [23:21] before it was kinetic and now it's [23:23] economic. But they're leaving out the [23:25] main piece of the puzzle [23:28] that is the that really is is you know [23:31] if you think about like what is the [23:32] greatest threat to the regime? It's not [23:34] the kinetic activity and it's not the [23:36] economic activity. Those are all great [23:39] but the main threat is empowering the [23:42] people. And in this video we're talking [23:44] about two critical ways to empower the [23:46] Iranian people. Number one, lean into [23:49] the instability that that comes as a [23:52] result of not knowing whether Moshaba is [23:54] alive or dead or thinking that he's [23:55] dead. Lean into those rumors. Yeah. Let [23:59] me explain why that's so important. [24:00] Again, just let me add another [24:02] ingredient to it. [24:05] I if there's if they have to get into a [24:08] conversation about succession [24:10] at this time with all the different [24:12] factions at the top and all the stress [24:14] going on, we already know that there's [24:16] disagreements at the top. If they have [24:17] to then start arguing about succession, [24:19] it will cause so much instability at the [24:21] top of the regime. In one of my [24:22] conversations with Dr. David Worms, we [24:24] talked about this where he was saying [24:25] that the top level of the regime is kind [24:28] of like mafia families and they don't [24:30] have it. They're not really in agreement [24:31] about who should succeed, you know, and [24:34] it would cause all kinds of chaos and [24:36] all kinds of instability at the top, [24:38] which would help destabilize the regime. [24:43] That's this is this is actually see this [24:46] is what the this is what people don't [24:48] get. This is actually how you win. [24:52] And then there's the issue of possibly [24:53] getting them weapons, which I don't know [24:55] the logistics of that and how feasible [24:56] that is. That's a separate issue. I'm [24:58] not qualified to have an opinion on that [25:02] other than saying I wish they would have [25:03] weapons. I don't know. But on this other [25:06] issue of the IRGC and the besiege, [25:12] why why are we not going after these [25:14] guys? The Americans, if the Americans [25:17] stopped everything else they were doing [25:18] and just started doing what the Israelis [25:20] were doing in March, targeting the RGC [25:22] and the besiege, that is the path to [25:24] victory. And I'm not saying that an [25:26] objective of the war is regime change. [25:28] It's not an object. It's not a military [25:30] object objective. But if you want to [25:31] achieve your objectives, if President [25:34] Trump wants to get the straits opened, [25:36] he wants to have the ballistic missile [25:38] threat taken off the table, he wants the [25:40] nuclear threat taken off the table, he [25:42] wants the straits of Hormuz opened. If [25:44] those are the objectives of the war, and [25:46] he has said that they are, the only way [25:49] to actually reliably achieve those [25:51] objectives is to collapse the regime, to [25:53] bring it down. And this economic warfare [25:56] could work if they can make if they can [25:58] pull it off. It's very complicated. We [26:00] already see there's a lot there are [26:01] numerous countries that are going to [26:03] refuse to participate in it, [26:07] but do the things that actually [26:09] destabilize the regime from within. And [26:11] that's the path to victory. And uh [26:14] again, I don't want to sound negative [26:17] about President Trump right now. I I do [26:19] appreciate everything he's done and I've [26:22] always cautioned us against, you know, [26:24] these these, you know, when we when he [26:26] does what we want, we praise him to the [26:28] heavens and when we does what we don't [26:29] want, we say that he's betrayed us. We [26:31] have to calm down, keep a level head. [26:34] But on these points, I'm going to keep [26:36] hammering them. These are the these are [26:39] the things that can be done to actually [26:42] destabilize the regime, to actually lead [26:44] to victory. And I'm only praying that [26:46] President Trump sees it and does them. [26:49] Um, and we continue to pray for the [26:51] Iranian people. All right, God bless. [26:53] Thanks for watching. Please leave a [26:54] comment. Let me know what you think. [26:56] And, uh, please share this video with [26:58] someone, someone you know who you think [27:00] would appreciate it. I would appreciate [27:01] that very much. God bless.
