Transcript [00:00] Hey everyone. So, all eyes are on New [00:02] York City this week with the United [00:04] Nations General Assembly going on. [00:05] President Trump going there. He's going [00:07] to be speaking today. Probably by the [00:08] time you see this video, he will already [00:10] have spoken. Prime Minister Netanyahu is [00:12] speaking on Thursday. So, there's going [00:15] to be a lot of uh diplomatic uh stuff [00:17] happening. And uh what's on the top of [00:20] everyone's mind of course is Iran. So, I [00:22] want to talk about where we are with the [00:24] Iran situation. And a great way to get [00:26] us started is with the great General [00:28] Jack Keane who's been away for a few [00:30] weeks. He was in Israel uh visiting this [00:33] country and now he's back in the Fox [00:35] News uh in the Fox News an analyst seat. [00:39] So we're going to take a look at a clip [00:40] from him and that's going to frame a [00:42] number of uh the issues that are on the [00:44] table and they relate to what's going on [00:46] at the general assembly as well. So [00:47] let's take a look at General Jack Keane. [00:50] Here we go. So, General Kee, you've been [00:52] in Israel, I know, uh, talking to the [00:54] prime minister and many others. You [00:56] probably have some sense, some window on [00:59] what may come next. President Trump has [01:02] spoken out loud, as you know, in the UN [01:04] meetings. Maybe he'll meet with the Iran [01:07] president. Maybe he wants more combat [01:10] operations. Maybe he doesn't. How do you [01:12] see it, General Keane? [01:15] Well, first of all, there's no doubt [01:17] that Israel is supporting the the [01:19] president's objectives. They know full [01:21] well they're in a phase here where [01:23] significant pressure being applied by a [01:25] blockade and by secretary Pessence's [01:28] very comprehensive sanctions that he's [01:31] putting on the regime. That's a fact. Uh [01:34] but they're also ready for the return to [01:37] major combat operations. So the pathway [01:40] we're on right now, what appears pretty [01:44] obvious, Iran is not going to make [01:47] concessions to a deal that would meet [01:49] our objectives. We're almost 6 months [01:52] since the ceasefire in April the 7th and [01:55] we don't have a consequential deal. And [01:57] the one deal they did make, they broke. [02:00] I think we're on a pathway dealing with [02:01] Iran and making a deal is even even if [02:05] it was a perfect deal and you and I have [02:08] talked about this before. We know full [02:11] well they would not comply with they'll [02:13] cheat uh maybe even in the Trump [02:16] administration but for sure whatever [02:18] administration follows. [02:19] >> And then the other thing is [02:21] >> okay before we get to what he's where [02:23] he's going next just to sum up a couple [02:25] points he made here. The first point he [02:27] made, which is huge and we don't talk [02:29] about it enough, is that the Israelis [02:32] are prepared for a return to combat [02:34] operations and have their finger on the [02:37] trigger. I've talked about this a bit [02:40] over the last few months where Iran has [02:42] been attacking [02:43] uh allies of the United States and [02:45] American assets in the region and has [02:48] very deliberately laid off of attacking [02:51] Israel. We even see the Houthis in [02:53] blockading the Saudis at Baba Madabib [02:55] Strait were very open about the fact [02:57] that they're not even blocking Israeli [02:58] ships. So Iran and its proxies are being [03:01] very careful about not antagonizing the [03:03] Israelis in a way that could bring [03:04] destruction upon them. The Iranians know [03:07] full well that the Israelis have real [03:09] operational plans that will actually [03:13] threaten the regime. [03:15] And so they've been trying to keep the [03:16] Israelis out of it. And what's so [03:19] important about this, it's just for us [03:21] to remember this all the time when we're [03:23] watching and ringing our hands and is [03:25] the regime going to survive and is Trump [03:26] going to do the job. Remember that the [03:29] Israelis have a very specific strategic [03:32] goal to take down the Iranian regime and [03:35] reportedly have operational plans to [03:37] bring it about. what the Israelis were [03:40] doing in the final uh three weeks or so [03:43] of the initial round of fighting from [03:45] February 28th till April 7th or April [03:47] 8th whenever the ceasefire went into [03:49] effect. During the last three or three [03:51] weeks or so of that, the Israelis were [03:53] hitting more and more of the leadership. [03:55] They were hitting the besiege. They were [03:57] hitting the IRGC. [03:59] The Israelis know what they need to do [04:00] to to bring down the regime and they are [04:03] uh and they will not let this go [04:07] uncompleted. It could be that at some [04:09] point the Israelis will do it on their [04:10] own. We don't know. But let's always [04:12] keep that in mind that the Israelis are [04:14] waiting on the sidelines watching the [04:15] situation and they're not going to let [04:17] this thing get quote unquote resolved [04:19] without them bringing down the regime. [04:22] Now, that that could be tough talk [04:23] because [04:25] the diplomatic problem we could end up [04:28] with down the road is if and this is a [04:32] massive if. As he said here, we still [04:34] don't have a deal. We're not going to [04:35] have a deal. the Trump administration's [04:37] being more open about bringing down the [04:38] regime. We'll get into that in a moment. [04:41] But in this in a in a situation where [04:44] the Americans would come to some sort of [04:46] accommodation with Iran, what would the [04:48] Israelis then do? The Israelis aren't [04:51] ultimately are not going to accept that [04:53] because they it is a goal of Israel to [04:55] bring down the regime. So, let's keep [04:56] that in mind. And then there was the [04:58] point that he just made here that look, [04:59] we've been at this for months and and [05:01] there's no there's never going to be a [05:03] deal agreed to by the Iranians that is [05:06] going to be to America's satisfaction. [05:09] So, uh, just to kind of drive home that [05:12] point, you know, there's, [05:16] you know, the Iranians are they don't [05:18] view negotiation [05:20] as as something that leads to a [05:23] resolution. Here, take a look. This is [05:25] from just today. IRGC spokesperson calls [05:28] negotiations another arena of war. We've [05:30] seen this from them many times. They [05:32] have these statements. Every time [05:32] there's talk of negotiations, they they [05:35] talk the language of their culture, [05:37] which is negotiations should be treated [05:38] as part of the conflict rather than as [05:40] reconciliation or peace. IRGC [05:43] spokesperson Hussein Movie said on [05:45] Tuesday, "If the country's interests [05:47] require it, negotiations can be part of [05:49] the battle while we remain prepared for [05:51] combat. Once war is fought with one war [05:54] is fought with weapons [05:56] in negotiations the war is fought with [05:58] words arguments and diplomatic methods. [06:00] Meaning they have no intention [06:02] uh of ever coming to a deal. I've said [06:05] many times every time Trump has said [06:07] over the last few months the Iranians [06:08] want a deal. I always say no they don't. [06:10] They want to negotiate. They want to [06:11] negotiate indefinitely. Anyway, so let's [06:14] let's go further with uh General Keane. [06:16] is even if you get the perfect deal, [06:20] what that entails is we will finance [06:22] their recovery and throw them a lifeline [06:25] that they will benefit from for years to [06:27] come. And that means we pass the problem [06:30] of Iran on to the next administration. [06:32] President Trump did all stop because he [06:36] had seven presidents that sequentially [06:38] passed this problem to him. He scratched [06:40] his head a number of times said, "Why [06:42] hasn't somebody done something about [06:44] this until now?" and he has taken the [06:47] action to do that in concert with [06:49] Israel. The reality is I don't believe [06:51] for a minute that President Trump is [06:54] going to pass this problem on to his [06:56] successor. Whether it's a Republican or [06:59] a Democrat, he's going to end this thing [07:00] favorable to the interest of the United [07:03] States and our allies in the region. [07:06] Okay, that is another very important [07:10] point for us to keep in mind and that is [07:12] that Trump does not want part of his [07:15] legacy to be that the Iranian regime is [07:18] still a threat and that the Iranian [07:19] regime is rebuilding and that the job [07:21] was unfinished and that he he's not [07:24] going to want to kick it down the can, [07:25] you know, kick it down the road to his [07:27] successor. Does that mean he won't? [07:29] Maybe he will make that mistake. General [07:30] Keane might be a little too optimistic [07:33] about what Trump wants to do. But in [07:36] that optimism is that warning. Any deal, [07:39] look what he just said. Even if you get [07:42] the perfect deal, what is a deal? Even [07:44] if you get a deal where Iran completely [07:46] dismantles the nuclear program and they [07:48] open up the Straits of Hormuz and [07:50] they're and they're no longer funding [07:52] the proxies in some alternate reality [07:54] where they would agree to that, it would [07:56] still require [07:58] some quidd proquo and that means there's [08:02] going to be a massive financial payoff [08:04] to the Iranians to make any deal. And [08:07] that means that the regime stays in [08:09] power and they [08:12] and they make do until Trump is out of [08:14] office and then it's going to be someone [08:18] else's problem down the road. What are [08:20] we waiting for? We're waiting for some [08:21] point in the distant future where the [08:23] where the regime is weaker than it is [08:25] right now and we're more capable of [08:27] bringing it down. This is obviously the [08:30] opportunity to bring the regime down. [08:32] Now regime change is not an American [08:34] objective but [08:37] as I've said many times the only way to [08:40] to achieve the American objectives is to [08:42] bring down the regime. You see what I'm [08:44] saying? I'm saying even if regime change [08:47] is not your objective it is the means to [08:50] achieving your object. It's if the only [08:51] means to achieving your objective. So if [08:53] you say I don't care about I'm not [08:55] interested in regime change. I just want [08:56] to make sure they don't have a nuclear [08:58] weapon and and they can't fund their [09:01] proxies and there's they can no longer [09:03] cause problems in the street of Hormuz [09:05] and and and they don't have a a [09:07] ballistic missile program and all it the [09:10] there is only one path [09:13] to solving those problems and that is [09:16] bringing down the regime and therefore [09:17] regime change ends up being your [09:20] objective not because it's your primary [09:22] objective but because it's the only [09:24] means to achieve your objectives. Let's [09:26] go a little bit further with Jack and [09:28] then we'll take a look at a few other [09:30] articles that relate to this. [09:31] >> Well, you know, I still I think the um [09:33] Scott Besson econ I'll call it economic [09:36] uh strangulation, economic collapse [09:39] scenario is a terrific scenario. There's [09:42] reports now, general, as you know, not [09:44] only can't they sell any oil in the [09:46] Persian Gulf, but they're having trouble [09:48] trading with, you know, Pakistan doesn't [09:49] want to trade with them, Turkey doesn't [09:51] want to trade with them, and so forth. [09:53] So they may be completely isolated [09:55] economically continuing that seems like [09:58] that will that will be part of [10:01] president's policy. The question is um [10:04] General Keane, what about additional [10:06] combat operations in your judgment right [10:09] now? Does it make sense? Do you think [10:11] President Trump should you know deliver [10:13] a stern warning to the Iranian president [10:16] at the UN? How does this work, sir? [10:21] Oh, I think uh combat operations are [10:23] inevitable and the reason is the mindset [10:26] of the regime itself. They are [10:28] determined here. They believe they can [10:30] outlast us. They believe their their [10:34] will is there and that we have weakened [10:37] as a result of what has taken place with [10:39] oil spiking and the elections coming. [10:43] They see that as weakness. Those are [10:45] real things to the American people. [10:47] They're real things also when an [10:49] election taking place uh in Israel uh in [10:52] the month of October. But the re the [10:55] reality is the regime is determined to [10:58] survive and stay in control. And you see [11:01] that in their proxies in Hamas. Hamas is [11:04] regenerating. They got thousands of new [11:06] recruits. They have they have not [11:09] changed one iota. Their single identity [11:11] is the destruction of the state of [11:13] Israel. They are will not voluntarily [11:16] disarm. Hezbollah decimated as they are [11:19] for sure are as committed to their [11:21] goals. Iran is the centerpiece here. And [11:25] we take away the centerpiece, the [11:27] proxies begin to fade as a result of [11:30] that. That's the reality of it. I think [11:32] combat operations, Larry, are [11:33] inevitable. It's a combination of the [11:36] blockade, the economic pressure [11:39] Secretary Besson is putting on, and yes, [11:41] significant combat operations conducted [11:44] by Israel and the United States to [11:46] finish this to set the regime in a place [11:49] with the right conditions for its [11:52] collapse. Co operations by the MSAD and [11:55] the CIA to enhance the fracture of the [11:58] regime and also to enhance the citizens [12:02] of Iran to resist. and yes, to take up [12:05] arms against this regime. All of that, I [12:08] think, is the path that we're likely on [12:10] here. [12:10] >> Right. [12:13] Okay. There's a lot in there. And, you [12:15] know, some of it you can get very, it's [12:17] easy to get very cynical about because [12:21] what does that mean that the, you know, [12:22] that the Iranian people, you know, get [12:25] support, get weapons to, you know, are [12:27] we getting weapons to them? when he says [12:30] covert operations by the CA and the [12:32] Mossad, what does that mean in practice? [12:35] What is the plan to actually bring down [12:37] the regime? Because if it's combat [12:39] operations, as we've seen until now, if [12:41] it's just bombing, [12:43] I've said it many times, bombing is not [12:45] going to bring down this regime. Uh even [12:47] the economic blockade, as difficult as [12:49] it is, unless it leads to the people [12:53] getting so fed up that they're willing [12:55] to come out into the street, [12:57] it's not going to bring down the regime [12:59] either. The people running the regime, [13:00] they have enough to eat and their entire [13:03] goal is just to survive. So let's go [13:05] through a few let's drill down on a few [13:07] of these points. First of all, that [13:08] whole issue that he raised about how the [13:11] Iranians goal is to simply outlast the [13:14] Americans and they believe that they can [13:16] outlast the Americans. So, here's a [13:17] piece from Iranian state media the other [13:19] day. The US military's vulnerabilities [13:22] in the face of Iran. It's it's a piece [13:23] it's one of their pieces of quote [13:25] unquote analysis on their, you know, [13:27] state media site and it goes through [13:29] what they call the this list of what [13:32] they see as American vulnerabilities. [13:34] um Iranian strikes on US bases, US [13:37] warships facing difficulties, growing [13:39] threat to US aircraft carriers. They [13:41] list a whole bunch of things. Uh [13:43] depletion of ammunition, sharp rise in [13:46] US military casualties, a prolonged war [13:48] war puts logistics and equipment [13:50] maintenance to the test. I'm not so sure [13:52] these are all real vulnerabilities. This [13:54] is state propaganda, but I want to get [13:56] to the end of this what they say. And [13:58] then they have two other ones. [13:59] dependence on Israel and Diego Garcia, [14:02] psychological strain and de declining [14:04] troop resilience. But look at these [14:06] final couple paragraphs. What connects [14:08] these eight factors is a single issue. [14:11] The ability to keep going. The United [14:14] States still possesses extensive [14:16] military capabilities, but mounting [14:18] pressure on its bases, fleet, ammunition [14:21] stocks, logistical routes, and personnel [14:24] is raising the cost of maintaining that [14:25] military presence in the field. There's [14:28] also the issue of domestic politics of [14:30] how long this is is is going and how [14:32] close we're getting to the midterms. [14:33] That's not what they're talking about in [14:35] this article. But look at this. In a [14:38] prolonged war, the longer the conflict [14:40] continues, the more significant these [14:41] vulnerabilities become because the [14:43] battlefield is not limited to the place [14:45] where the fighting takes place. [14:47] Ammunition depot, supply routes, ports, [14:50] command centers, and even the [14:52] psychological resilience of troops are [14:54] all part of the battlefield. If pressure [14:57] on these links continues, the US [14:58] challenge could shift from the ability [15:00] to strike to the ability to sustain the [15:03] fight. And those are not the same thing. [15:06] An army capable of delivering a powerful [15:08] blow is not necessarily capable of [15:10] maintaining the same level of operations [15:12] for months under conditions of [15:14] attrition. From this perspective, the [15:17] pressure Iran has been able to exert is [15:20] not necessarily focused on America's [15:21] most powerful weapon, but on the chain [15:24] that must keep the entire US military [15:26] machine running if the war is to [15:27] continue. I'm reading this because it [15:29] just confirms what Jackeen was saying [15:31] that the Iranians believe their whole [15:33] strategy all along has just been one of [15:36] resilience of stay holding your ground [15:40] no matter how bad it gets. Hold on, kick [15:42] the can down the road, drag things out. [15:45] And that's what a willingness to [15:46] negotiate is all really about. As I [15:49] showed you from that IRGC spokesperson [15:51] who said that negotiation is just [15:54] another tool of warfare. He's not [15:55] talking about agreeing to a deal. They [15:57] have no interest in agreeing to a deal. [15:59] But negotiation is a form of warfare. [16:01] What does that mean? That you drag [16:03] things out. You kick it down the road [16:05] because victory is about resilience and [16:07] lasting and outlasting the Americans. [16:10] And therefore, whatever buys you more [16:12] time, whatever buys you whatever [16:15] whatever kicks the can down the road and [16:16] prolongs things is a form of victory. [16:19] It's moving it's moving the chains as it [16:21] were to use a football analogy from [16:24] American football. [16:26] That's all that matters. So that's why [16:27] negotiations, not dealmaking, [16:29] negotiations is another arena of [16:31] warfare. And this goes back to what I [16:33] wrote in the Jerusalem Post at the very [16:35] beginning of the war. I wrote a piece [16:37] even before it. This is 10 days before [16:38] the war was launched. February 18th is [16:41] the date of this piece. Iran isn't [16:43] trying to win the war with the US. It's [16:45] trying to survive Trump. And I wrote a [16:47] whole piece about how Iran's entire [16:50] strategy is about outlasting the regime. [16:54] Right? This is what I wrote. The logic [16:56] behind the seemingly foolish hardline [16:58] stance Iran is taking. It seems foolish. [17:00] Why don't they capitulate? Thrron's [17:02] leaders believe that accepting [17:04] Washington's demands would be more [17:06] dangerous than enduring American [17:07] strikes. [17:09] Right? If the regime dismantles its [17:11] missile program, abandons its proxies, [17:13] halt its nuclear ambitions, loosens [17:16] repression at home, and we could say [17:17] adding another one which wasn't on the [17:19] table yet, opens the straight of Hormuz, [17:21] it will look weak in the eyes of its own [17:23] people. In the regime's calculus, such a [17:25] visible weakness is more likely to [17:27] trigger internal collapse than would [17:29] foreign military action. They retain [17:31] power at home by showing that they're [17:34] not backing down. And they project that [17:36] inwardly as well. [17:39] Iran's calculation is brutally simple. [17:41] If it can prolong a conflict, [17:45] widen it regionally, and cause even a [17:47] small number of American casualties, [17:49] political pressure inside the United [17:51] States will spike. The regime is betting [17:53] that voices within Trump's own America [17:55] first camp will demand disengagement the [17:57] moments you the moment US soldiers start [17:59] coming home in coffins. [18:03] Right? If the Islamic Republic can [18:05] weather the blows of the US military and [18:07] merely remain standing at the end of a [18:09] Trump presidency, it believes time will [18:12] be on its side. [18:15] That is what that is their strategy. [18:17] It's been their strategy all along. I [18:19] wrote this 10 days before the war was [18:21] launched that the military action is not [18:23] going to bring down the regime. [18:26] Before we go on, Israel behind the [18:28] headlines tour March 7th to 14th, 2027. [18:33] March 7th to 14th, an 8-day tour to [18:35] Israel. It is a once-in-a-lifetime [18:37] opportunity. The the trip will be [18:39] co-hosted by myself and Dr. David [18:42] Wormser, senior analyst for the Middle [18:43] East at the Center for Security Policy, [18:45] served in multiple white houses in the [18:47] National Security Council, State [18:49] Department, etc. He's a maybe the top [18:52] expert in the world in the Middle East [18:54] or if not he's one of them. And he'll be [18:56] joining the he'll be leading this trip [18:58] for eight days and we're going to be [18:59] hearing from experts across the Israeli [19:01] spectrum from the military, from the [19:03] government, uh prominent journalists, [19:05] community leaders. We're going to have [19:07] briefings at key strategic locations on [19:09] the borders and key locations in Judea [19:12] and Samaria and elsewhere. It's going to [19:14] be an unbelievable trip. Luxury [19:16] five-star hotel trip. Uh limited spots. [19:20] And uh if you want to check it out, you [19:21] if you think it's for you, check out the [19:23] link in the description of this video. [19:25] Now, a few more points about the UN. I I [19:28] opened this video by mentioning that we [19:30] have this UN general assembly [19:33] and here we see you Iran US hint at [19:37] revival of talks as Trump poses due to [19:40] attend UN this is from today there's [19:43] been rumblings now that the Americans [19:45] might be willing to talk to the Iranians [19:46] here Iran and the United States hinted [19:48] on Tuesday that's today at the prospect [19:50] of reviving negotiations to end their [19:52] conflict what the presidents of both [19:54] countries do at the UN General Assembly [19:55] in New York quote the US needs needs to [19:57] announce that it wants to resolve the [19:59] issue diplomatically, make that [20:01] official, and then agree on a timeline [20:03] for how the process will move forward. [20:05] That is an Iranian official. That's how [20:07] they talk. They want to agree to talk [20:09] and talk about a a process moving [20:12] forward and a timeline because they're [20:14] all about buying time. The UN General [20:16] Assembly is a golden opportunity for the [20:18] US to return to diplomacy. Secretary of [20:21] State Marco Rubio told NBC's Today show [20:23] that the US was open to speaking with [20:25] the Iranians, especially if it has the [20:27] prospects of leading to something [20:29] positive and ultimately achieving the [20:31] goal of what this is all about. If the [20:33] Iranians can convince the Americans that [20:35] they're that they're now willing to have [20:37] the conversation and let's negotiate in [20:40] good faith, that causes the Americans to [20:42] not do the things they need to do to [20:44] destroy the regime. And they're really [20:46] still not doing them. I love what Scott [20:48] Bezant is doing, but where are the [20:50] decapitation strikes where go after the [20:53] leadership? Go after the IRGC. Go after [20:56] the besiege. I've been saying it for [20:58] months. That is what you need to do. And [21:00] when Trump wonders why the Iranian [21:02] people haven't come out into the [21:03] streets, it's because they don't believe [21:05] that he has their back. It's very [21:07] simple. And why should they believe it? [21:11] Um here, look at this. Iran diplomacy [21:13] intensifies at UN as Hormuz's crisis [21:16] keeps pressure on the region. Diplomatic [21:18] efforts around the Iran war intensified [21:20] in New York as western and regional [21:22] governments push to restore Hormoose [21:24] shipping, curb Houthi attacks, and lay [21:26] the groundwork for renewed talks with [21:28] Tan. The push gathered pace around the [21:30] UN General Assembly where Qatar said it [21:32] was trying to secure even a short-term [21:35] agreement between Iran and the United [21:36] States that could reopen negotiations. [21:39] DOA said restoring navigation through [21:41] Hormuz and removing the threat of [21:43] military action would be necessary for [21:45] meaningful talks. You see, the Qataris [21:48] and others in the region, they want [21:50] negotiations. They want they want to [21:53] preserve the Iranian regime and they're [21:56] going to and once negotiations start, [21:58] we're back in the same stalemate. And [22:00] think about what Jack Keane said. There [22:02] is no good deal. Even if you get the [22:04] perfect deal, you're sustaining the [22:06] regime. and they're not interested [22:08] really in making a a good faith deal. [22:10] They just want to kick the can down the [22:12] road. They want to buy more time. They [22:14] want to survive the Trump presidency. [22:16] The diplomacy is taking place as [22:17] Persian, Gulf, Arab states increasingly [22:19] discuss not only how to stop the [22:21] fighting, but what a future security [22:23] arrangement with Iran could look like. [22:25] Qatar and the Emirates have called for [22:27] greater regional dialogue with Qatar [22:30] advocating a common security framework [22:32] involving Thran and Persian Gulf states. [22:34] The Financial Times reported that Saudi [22:36] Arabia has also discussed possible a [22:39] possible non-aggression pact with Iran. [22:42] Folks, we are back. This is like the [22:45] This is a broken record. [22:48] We're back where we've been the whole [22:49] time. These these these these Gulf [22:53] states want want the negotiations to go. [22:56] They want there to be at, you know, more [23:00] of this sung and dance. There is no good [23:03] deal. And Trump is walking into an [23:04] environment where even his allies, so to [23:07] speak, allies, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, his [23:09] friends in the in the region, don't want [23:11] him taking down the regime. [23:14] And the only way to achieve his [23:16] objectives is to do so. And if he [23:18] doesn't do it, then they've won because [23:20] again, victory for them is survival. It [23:22] has been since the very beginning. So [23:25] that's where we are. Uh, you know, maybe [23:27] a lot of this was review and repetition. [23:29] If you've been watching my channel for a [23:31] while, I'm saying a lot of the things [23:32] that I've said before, but I think it's [23:34] important ahead of a week like this [23:36] where now there's all this chatter about [23:37] renewed negotiations. We see the [23:39] Iranians are talking about negotiating [23:41] again because that's what they love. [23:43] Again, they're not interested in deals. [23:45] They love negotiations. [23:47] They're great at them. That's what they [23:49] want. Uh we're ahead of a week like [23:51] this. We're going to see what statements [23:52] come out of the UNGA. if we come out at [23:54] the end of this that there's talks again [23:56] and Trump says we got a deal going, [23:58] it's, you know, this is how Iran wins. [24:02] This is how they win. Uh, and hovering [24:04] in the background waiting on the [24:05] sidelines is the Israelis who are saying [24:08] like, look, you know, when do we say [24:11] enough is enough? And the Israelis have [24:14] a plan to take down this regime. We'll [24:17] see. We'll see where things head. Uh but [24:19] right now even the economic warfare and [24:22] whatever strikes were being carried out [24:24] over the last month or two, this is not [24:27] the way the regime is going to fall. And [24:29] the Americans have yet to commit to [24:31] doing the things they need to actually [24:33] do to bring down the regime. I've said [24:34] it before. Um and we'll see we'll see [24:37] where things stand uh when this week is [24:40] over. I'll definitely be covering what [24:42] is said at the UN General Assembly. So [24:44] stay tuned to this channel. Make sure [24:46] that you're subscribed and please tell [24:48] others what's going on here. And uh I'll [24:50] see you in the next one.
