The modern battlefield has changed. Has America?

0:00It's the tip of the spare in the epic battle to defend the United States of America. The National Security Hour exposes the wolves and sheep clothing and then a various plots to undermine and destroy US national security. It is 8 p.m. Wednesday September 9th. I am your host, Jack Maxi, for the National Security Hour, the hump day version, if you will. We are proud to be hosted by America out loud news. All of these broadcasts can be found later in the podcast forum there. America out loud.News. We are also on iHeart radio.

1:02Within 24 hours of this broadcast this evening, you'll be able to find it in podcast forum anywhere you like to go. Spotify, Apple, you name it. This is also a really good time for me to talk about our sponsors who I hope you will all follow and support because they're the reason we're able to be on the air. I'm proud to be part of this team. If you listen to the two mics on Monday, we talked about some solutions that beset us right now, particularly in the Middle East and Ukraine. I think it's becoming more and more apparent to everybody that we have walked ourselves into a kind of long-term trap here that simply over time is exposing our weakness over and over again. If there's any theme that I would like to apply to this evening, I think it's one of

2:10kind of confusion because it seems to me and we've seen this before in the Trump administration and other crises that there's no overall arching theme concerning what is happening, right? What is the overarching strategic theme for Iran? What is the plan to sell whatever the overarching strategic plan is concerning Iran to the American people so much to unpack? It's as if in the last week we've had two weeks of events occur and I think one of the things that signifies what I describe as the overarching theme of this evening, like who is in charge, was the way that they handled last Friday, Major Cleaner of the Alabama

3:14Air National Guard was a KC-135 pilot. He was shot down by air defense and then he got put on the list of non-war casualties and this meant that his wife and children would be denied serious benefits. Plus the fact it was a part of that Craven, again, who's in charge, who's in charge of messaging, attempt a week ago by the defense department to essentially claim that not all of the people who have died in Operation Epstein, Fury or Epic Fury have died because of war. Some of it happened during ceasefires. Well, tell that to the Alabama Air National Guard crew, the KC-135, who have a missile

4:15coming up and are taking them out of the sky. This is the kind of thing that we don't understand because it's at the heart of it so un-American, like is somebody with a green visor trying to clip Mrs. Cleaner and her kids out of some benefit? Is that the purpose of this? Because it can't be related to enhancing the public relations of the administration and the encouragement of the heart plan to send more of their kids to go and sacrifice themselves. To me was something that was shameful. They now say, oh, it was all big mix up. They're going to fix it. Yada, yada, yada. But what are they going to fix? Are they going to then go back and declare all those other people that they said were non-war deaths that they're now going to be given the equal treatment of everyone else who has

5:17suffered at the hands of this folly? I don't know. This is a big question. Another thing that happened over the past weekend that I think is very important is that you had the Iranians and the Americans step things up, right? And you have now the spokesperson for Kamenie, who himself is a veteran of the American, or the Iraqi Iran War, which was really a war of surrogacy funded by the Americans with targeting information given by the Americans with weapons supplied to the Iraqis by the Americans. I mean, we've really been on a 47-year assault on the Persian people in some regards. I don't want anybody here to confuse my discussion of facts with a position that I somehow am

6:21now on the side of a religious regime in Iran. I'm not. But I certainly empathize as a student of history with their moxie, with their ability to adapt to this modern battlefield that was supposed to be a rollover. Remember when Trump was cautioned by his own intelligence community, and we know this from Gabbard, we know this from others, and cautioned by his own chiefs of staff. I think Hague Seth was probably a game for whatever went down. Rubio will no doubt be like, I cautioned. I cautioned. I held up a take responsibility for anything. But the fact of the matter is Trump went ahead based upon faulty and I think overly hopeful,

7:22and I'm trying to be charitable here. Intelligence provided by BB Netanyahu and also provided by David Bernier, who was the head of Mossad. He's recently been replaced. But that doesn't change the fact that all of that occurred. And Trump went in there with the idea that, listen, we'll have a decapitation strikes. We'll have regime change. Remember that was over a year ago now. And now we're back at this situation where we had a preemptive attack on February 22nd against the Iranian people. It was preemptive. They are no physical threat to the American heartland whatsoever. They are part of an overreaching security plan that Israel has for itself and has for its own region.

8:24It has exposed some just unbelievable flaws inside of our defense posture, defense planning, defense production. I'm trying to use as many pieces as I can here, peeps. You think about it all for what, and yet we persist with these little lies. For example, let's talk about the things that have occurred in the last weeks. We had the Iranians say that they hit a Marine Corps barracks. My understanding is that the barracks was empty. I think this is probably on purpose by the Iranians. They're letting you know that we can hit specific targets, but we're not necessarily choosing ones that will cause lethality for a large number of people.

9:24We're not going to pull on you the Girl School attack. We said, oh, it didn't happen. Then satellite images came and sort of seemed to show that it had. It looked as if there were emergency vehicles on the site. Yada, yada, yada. So again, we're not being given this full picture. Then Iranian news sources come out and say that they've made an attack on a US carrier and its battle group. We deny that this happened, but now it turns out that yes, it probably likely did happen. The ship was forced to do a men to escape incoming. What was interesting is I heard from Larry Johnson who always seems to have very good sensibilities and also contacts that the first that went off over the ship was a multiple entry munitions.

10:33It had multiple warheads on it. I was like, that makes absolutely no sense. Then again, you saw just yesterday that the Iranians attacked Bahrain, they attacked Kuwait, they attacked also Jordan. Now remember, this is in response to US attacking five Iranian tankers. Now what we also learned yesterday that apparently two frigates that were operating closer in the Gulf of Oman along the Gulf of, you know, the sort of Noman's line along the Gulf of Hormuz were also attacked by Iranian munitions. Again, it looked like it might have been multiple warheads.

11:35Now you saw last night or the night before, I guess it was, no, last night. They had the attack on Jordan, the attack on Bahrain, and you saw again, they were using these warheads with multiple munitions on the tips of them. And I kept wondering why. And then you realize the brilliance of what they're doing. What they're doing is if they can lob one missile into the zone and then drop out, you know, tend to say 20 smaller munitions, well then they overload the air defense, which requires that they slam in more pack, twos, pack threes up the tubes and waste something that we are already completely out of. I mean across the board, you saw that if that all is what they're doing, you have to give

12:40them some credit for how they've done it, how they've planned it to do it. If we can step away, people who are listening and I don't know where you are all over the world, it's hard not to watch what is happening and wonder why. Like what is the purpose of this? Each day we get a new message that the Gulf of Hormuz is open. The United States, the Navy has secured free traffic. This is apparently nonsense. And just on Monday as well, let's get real. There was another crazy thing that occurred or maybe it was Tuesday morning. An American unmanned undersea vehicle, UAV submersible, several million dollar high-tech piece of equipment that claims are at least an open source claims that this thing can

13:44be used both offensively, defensively as monitor or perhaps it was in there trying to find the theoretical minds that have been put everywhere. Who knows? But it was captured by the Iranians and it was captured intact. And you can actually see this thing hanging from a stranded steel grappling hook at an Iranian dock in almost perfect condition. Now remember, this is the best thing that we've got right now to combat what they've got. And now they've got a complete copy of it. And you know very well that their partners in all of this, the Chinese and the Russians will soon have their hands on it. I'm sure this will be a valuable resource concerning defensibility inside the South China

14:47Sea and other places where we operate. It's almost as if we're stumbling into one disaster after another and then you couple that with the fact that the fifth-lead headquarters in Bahrain has literally been destroyed, like totally destroyed. We're never going back there. The radar systems from Kuwait, all the way to the South tip of Jordan have been destroyed in a methodical fashion by these people who shouldn't know what they're doing. It will literally be taught in the history books of modern warfare. How they've done this, the way they've done it, the methodical nature of it. And when we talk about the fact that we've got no place for a US fleet to go back to,

15:49there's not going to be no port for them in Kuwait. There's going to be no place for them to go in Bahrain. There may be some US forces operating inside the Gulf out of United Arab Emirates, but they're playing a dangerous game, right? They're already losing the support of their neighbors. And then you had at the coast of Oman, you had another support facility that was meant to be able to replenish US carriers. And my understanding is that all of this now has been moved down to Diego Garcia. Diego Garcia is about 3,000 kilometers from Iran down in the Central Indian Ocean, former British protectorate sort of sold to the Americans in the late 60s during the height of the Vietnam War, height of the Cold War. But it in no way has the capacity to service a carrier battle group.

16:54You can look at the place on on Google Earth. I mean, there's just not enough storage on the island to probably replenish the food for these people. And yeah, they use it for ammunition, et cetera, but at the end of the day, it's not going to be a solution. So we just continue on and on and on. And one has to wonder what is the end stage. And I have to say I still believe that Donald Trump can give himself an elegant exit if he so chooses. But this is going to take a man with a tremendous ego to step back. Now listen, people, listen to the end of the first segment. We've got two more. I'm giving a shout out to all of our sponsors. Please support them.

19:58Jack Maxi, your host on Humph Day here Wednesday. I'm proud to be replacing Brandon Wiker. I think he interviewed me on here a few months ago. I think people, one of the things you got to remember about what America out loud news is done, what I heart radio has done, what our sponsors have enabled is this kind of dialogue where truth tellers, people who perhaps see the world through a different lens than you might get from Fox News or CNN or individual podcasters who claim to have a sort of insight into one point of view or another. You can come right here every night of the week at 8 p.m. and you're going to hear people with expert views on what's going on in our world and people with experience.

21:02And in my own case, any of you who have been a fan for a while, you'll remember me from the COVID days when I was the original co-host on War Room. You'll remember me from all of the things that I did with Hunter Biden's laptop that I was given by Rudy Giuliani on 14 October. All the things no one else ever did, I can assure you I've never taken a dime. I'm the one who uncovered the BioLabs. I think it'll come out in future, certainly, hopefully in a book or a series that I want to be a part of. It was myself and others who really connected all the dots with the BioLabs in Ukraine, the Wuhan Laboratory, US Intelligence Funding of Same. I'm not afraid. And the fact of the matter is it's a great honor, I think, for all of us to not just be Americans, but to be people of the West or of that extraction, the fact that our forefathers

22:10built such an elegant structure that we seem intent on destroying either from guilt or greed or what have you. But there it is. And I think that it's important that organizations like the one that I'm representing this evening and what my peers do 24-7 here is to support it. Anyway, sorry for the big rant. We'll go back. We've got plenty of other things to rant about. For example, diesel has hit a record high, which is not ironic. We now have people who are clamoring and saying that the strategic oil reserves of the United States are not just in danger of being empty, but are in perhaps future structural danger because of the grace of so much water into those caverns that store the oil.

23:15It's not a good program, people. We are right now where I am looking out at some fields that are a little late to be hailed, but this is harvest season coming up on us people. And that diesel costs money. And that diesel is going to be passed on to you in the form of higher prices for food. That diesel is going to be passed on to you in terms of higher prices for transportation, which means all your groceries, all your knick-knacks from Tarje. Everything is going to become more expensive. Air travel, you name it. We are in a real crisis where it comes to diesel fuel and comes to aviation fuel, caracene essentially, in all of its grades. This is necessary to support military operations. This is necessary to support air transport around the world, everything from a helicopter all the way to a Boeing 747 or quite frankly, any of the array of American fighting avionics

24:22out there and the same for the rest of the world. Well at the same time, we are attacking five Iranian tankers, which the claim is they are part of the Iranian ghost fleet. Remember the Russians have a ghost fleet too. Do you notice how they create these terms? It's or wellian. So they're not a ghost fleet. They're there, they're real, and you're somehow pretending they're otherwise so that you can sink them. One of the things I have to say is I need to segue off of here, but I guess it's part of national security too because we've taken energy postures that have been incredibly harmful to the American people, to the West if you will, over the last 35 years based on green energy and saving the planet and blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah.

25:25Well, there are giant oil slicks right now in the Gulf of Hormuz from tankers that the United States government is sinking. So we're creating an environmental hazard in doing so. We are limiting the supply of this necessary oil, which we've kind of been letting go out anyway, right? The Iranian ships have been going back and forth anyway. It's just not so much along the American line along Oman, you know, the southern route, the United States naval approved route. The route which no insurer on planet Earth will ensure you to go through. It's very clear that if American carrier battle groups need to dig base of action and as many analysts are now saying that that rocket was sent as a warning, right?

26:31A kind of like we can do this if we want to, but we don't want to kind of message to the American brass. I don't know. I think we're in a big pickle. And I think that one of the things that is so tragic about this is it just exposes the overall weakness of the structure, right? The surface navy is just, it has no future against a peer enemy operating from the literal waters of that peer enemy. And at this point, the literal waters of that peer enemy could be extended out to probably well over a thousand kilometers as technology meets reality, right? We're seeing this right now in Iran. And we first got a little warning of the danger of these anti-ship missiles.

27:34Some of you were a member of the Chinese silkworm that came out a few years ago. Well, none of us really know how well any of this stuff works. Just like, you know, we didn't know how well drones worked and how well a satellite system of communications could impact the modern battlefield till we were in there operating as intel sponges and financial intelligence and weapons supporters of the Ukrainians. The Iranian, the Chinese and the Russians are stepping into Philip Reach. Now, I don't particularly think that either Russia or China wants a confrontation with the United States. Would they like to see us humbled? Yes. But it's a delicate, delicate, delicate balancing act because let's be real people.

28:38We have, it was sold to us years ago as like this is part of his technique, you know, art of the deal. He's so unpredictable. Nobody knows what he'll do. Well, it's very clear that nobody knows what he'll do. It's also becoming more and more clear that I don't necessarily think that the president of the United States knows what he's doing. We had over this past weekend too. I mean, again, I so much to cover people and I'm trying to get through it. I'll be like, Rush Limboil here, all the bite papers going. But for example, you had Whitcuff and you had Kushner travel to Moscow over the weekend. To theoretically meet with their peers and meet with Putin. And the reality is I think they had a perfunctory, have a nice weekend, boys, goodbye. Apparently the promises were really no different than anything else that has been done.

29:43I think you have to wonder again, like so much of what we're being fed. It's all who's in charge, who's in charge of the messaging. Clearly Kushner and Whitcuff are under the control of the president. But were they just sent to kind of signal to the world that, you know, yeah, we're in negotiations, trying to give Trump's reputation a little bump as we'd come out of the weekend? I think that was true. You had the Russian Foreign Minister essentially say, these people are deal incapable and reiterated it again this past weekend. You saw what's going on in Europe. There's basically panic in the streets. You saw alternative for Deutschland, AFD crushed it in the Saxony elections and in most of the former East Germany. So people are on the run and people are beginning to wonder what is going on and at the heart

30:48of the collapse of all these institutions because they're going to fall like dominos. They're kind of like poles on a teepee. You start taking enough of them away and it's going to collapse. When I talk about organizations, I'm talking about things like NATO. I'm talking about things like the EU. I'm talking about things like common currencies. I'm talking about the idea of American troops based everywhere from Japan to Korea to you name it. I mean, part of the problem, one of the things that we've seen with what's happened here and the changing landscape of the modern battlefield, which in a way, people, if you think about it, in some ways should be positive. It levels the playing field for the smaller countries versus the first year countries.

31:49Because if I have missiles that can sink your carrier, I don't need to have a $10 billion carrier. I can just have $1 billion worth of missiles. In some ways, it might encourage a world of the future where we are more, I don't know, so I would say reticent when we discuss going to war and then a little bit more reluctant when we decide whether or not to go to war. Because there's no possible way, and I don't know if anybody heard this, but I've been on John B. Wells many times. Great guy. I might add, John has probably the greatest voice for radio in history. I've got, as my friends tell me, the greatest face for radio. But there was an interview last summer, I guess it was, and it was with General Mac and

32:52Ernie was on there. We were discussing what was going to happen if we persisted with Iran. So this must have been July of last summer and exactly. Almost to an absolute tea, everything that has happened in the last year, I said would happen. And particularly, I said, it has become clear that the surface navy is now like a relic. It's almost the equivalent of the wooden frigates of the early 19th century versus the steel battleships of the early 20th century. It's that far gone. These things are just sitting targets. And what this means is you're never going to be able to send a giant expeditionary force to go take someone else's shoreline. And more importantly, if you're already in the geography, like we are to the tune of

33:58tens of thousands in places like South Korea and in Western Europe, particularly Poland, for example, I mean, if all the sensessential fear of Russia is true, I haven't, we put these guys in a dangerous situation because what is clear is you will not be able to resupply them. And we couldn't even resupply a effectively a naval carrier battle group outside of the danger zone on kind of patrol in the Indian Ocean over the last six months. And we've seen this because these people have come back and it's been clear that we weren't able to do it. And anybody who saw the condition of that aircraft carrier Lincoln when it came into Thailand can see that we're just putting incredible damages on these ships.

34:58Now granted, most of it's superficial and I'd hate to be the guys with the chipping hammers who have to go back after it. And it's not going to be a bunch of enlisted guys. It's going to be in a dockyard. But these ships require maintenance and if we don't maintain them, we're going to have prop. For example, I mean, that ship's not going to be ready to go anywhere for another year. God forbid one of these carrier battle groups actually got hit or struck by the Iranians. I don't want to see any of this happen. And yet again, here we are. And Trump doubles down, right? He's going to take over the Gulf of Harmoos. We're going to control it. We don't control anything. We have a limited supply of fuel on planet earth and he's sinking tankers. And these tankers are polluting, you know, happy, go lucky Gulf of Harmoos, which actually

35:59people, if you want to find something interesting, I think it was national geographic. I think it did a kind of study of the environment of the Gulf of Harmoos. And apparently, it's got one of the largest populations of dolphins of all things on planet earth. So just think little kiddies every time Trump sinks one of those, one of those big oil tankers. There's some dolphin choking to death with oil in his blowhole. So well done. The blowhard killing dolphins through the blowholes. Wow, maybe that could be a t-shirt. It's painful. I mean, you want to laugh. Part of me wants to laugh, but at the same time, part of me wants to cry. But I do think that all of this will portend and we'll try to get into this into the third

37:01segment. We've got another commercial break coming up. But I think all of this may portend to a future that in the most ironic way may be more secure for all of us because we will see a world changed into spears of influence versus one bully running the playground. Anyway, people, we're going to have to go to a commercial break. Again, thank you so much for supporting us. Thank you for I Heart Radio. And thank you for all of our supporters. We will be back in just two minutes. Stay tuned. We're going to try and get some ways to solve some of these problems and figure out a way to the bright, sunland upland.

Okay, we are back and we're here for our last segment.

39:08Glad to have you guys along. One of the things I think the overarching idea that is sunk into everybody's heads, we're seeing it clearly in primary season. I think we're going to see it clearly in November. This idea that the world is turning on Israel. I think you see that particularly in young people in America, you see it. A guy who I have tons of respect for, a comedian with just sort of a brilliant mind, Dave Smith and I think he speaks for a generation of young Americans. I think he speaks for a generation of young Jewish Americans if any of my kids peers are to be judged. People are tired. People are tired of the mayhem. People are tired of watching what's been going on in Gaza, what's been going on in the West Bank?

40:09You had just on Tuesday, the new British government stepped in and said they will be boycotting all products from the West Bank. It's unclear if they mean all products from the West Bank or somehow they're going to create a targeted system where it's only bad settlements in the West Bank. You can't send produce, etc. to Europe. You've seen Denmark, you've seen Sweden, you're seeing other European countries fall in line. I think there's no coincidence that this all occurred within the same timeframe of AFD's giant victory in the elections in Germany that mean very bad news for the current German government or almost you could say the current German construct, which has

41:14really been a Christian Democrat American lapdog for the last 70 years. If someone is going to change and determine that Germany is going to start thinking inside the box and thinking about what's best for Germany rather than an 80 year walk of shame where the German public supports a broken Europe with their own engineering, creativity, and labor. I think that may be coming to an end with that. I think you're going to see the rest of Europe start to fall apart. We're escalating everywhere and if there's any message I could give to Trump, it's the same message I gave on Monday night with the two mics. It's the same message I gave last week. It's time to walk away and he has a perfect ration out even using his own words and it

42:20is that the world has to get back to business. All of this is disruptive to business and nobody gives a darn what the Bible said 3,000 years ago. Let's do business. What we can see is it's going to take forever for us to recover some of the damage that's occurred. Trump has taken out five tankers and now the Iranians bombed by rain, coupé, and Jordan last night you have the Israeli government, Gavir, Smotrik, Nenya, claiming that the Iranians are cooking up some giant retaliation. Everybody be on watch. We haven't seen that happen yet. But what we have seen is the methodical destruction of all the defense and depth, technological defense and depth, including structural because we're taking out airfields that can't

43:23necessarily be put back online and certainly support facilities that can't necessarily be put back online. You're seeing this in Saudi Arabia. You've seen this in Jordan. You've certainly seen this in Qatar who I believe have wisely stepped away from the fray. You're not seeing anything come out of Qatar anymore. You've seen this happen in Iraq, although we're less cognizant of what's going on there. The Iraqi people would like to see the Americans gone. They've been trying to negotiate our departure for a long time. In fact, we were supposed to have given back Iraqi airspace and control of their air defense to the Iraqi government. October a year ago, Trump put the kabasha on that. You wonder if all of this was in preparation for knowledge that the plan was always to

44:25go after Iran. We gambled clearly and we aired. One of the things that I've always found most admirable in a man or really any human being and it doesn't create absolution, but it does support honor is when you have made an error, when you have done something wrong, particularly if, and I know this is a horrible thing to say because it's the history of American foreign intervention and perhaps it's the epitaph of all of our dead as a consequence. Trump didn't mean for this to be a defeat. Trump didn't mean for this to destroy the global economy. Trump thought that what he was doing was a good thing.

45:29He doesn't absolve him from doing something so foolish. But I think that he would do a lot to rescue his own credibility, the reputation of his family to step back and say, look, this was a big mistake. We've got to get back to doing business. Iran, here you go. We're not going to use the Swift system as a weapon of war. All it does is undermine faith in the US institutions and particularly in the US dollar. I mean, look at Scott Besson. We talked about Scottie Boy last week. Scott came out on Tuesday and said, I have gone after over 20 different airlines that have been in effect, creating linkages to travel, transport, etc. with Iran. Okay, great. So now it's going to be more difficult to travel to Iran, but this has things that are downstream

46:29from just that statement that he doesn't get. One of the thing is airplane parts. These airplanes are for the most part all bowings, all air buss and they need parts for maintenance. So one of the things that he's done is he's done almost nothing to cripple the Iranian regime. But now he's made it more difficult for aircraft and innocent people are going to be flying around and can be maintained. This is the kind of like, you know, I don't know, negative 5D chess that these people play. And to me, you have to begin to wonder how is this going to affect all of us. I still think the Trump has enough latent support and enough people who are just hoping that he'll do the right thing. He probably has maybe a couple of weeks to save himself, but it's going to have to come

47:33with a Mayacolpa and it's going to have to come with, you know, suiting his character, blame of other people. I think people like Hague Seth are going to have to be thrown under the bus. Otherwise I don't see any future because the crises that we're looking at in terms of fuel costs are only going to get worse. The crises that we're looking at in America because now we're going to import millions of pounds of foreign, you know, mystery beef. And in actual fact, there was a recall of this stuff just a week ago, right? And we're watching little institutions across America slowly collapse, right? In the 90s, we watched Main Street collapse. Walmart, Walmart took everybody out of town, right? All the shops got boarded up. And then it kind of made a renaissance as everybody tried to rejuvenate their downtowns.

48:37And then we got Amazon and they went right back to dying. And then instead of going to restaurants, we got Uber Eats, right? Well the family farm is institutions just like that. They are Main Street. They feed the world. I mean, imagine we have a less cattle on the hoof in the United States of America than we had in 1960. What happened? Did we lose ground? Right? Did West Texas get smaller? Did all the cows that they took off the Aspen's geese lobes mean Colorado couldn't produce as much beef? I don't know. I think we're slowly killing everything by regulation. We're killing everything by consolidation. Government, I'm trying to remember who said this. I think it might have been William F. Buckley.

49:40Government is force. That's it, right? They're not there to persuade. They make a decision. The legislature makes a decision and then government enforces those decisions. And we've made one bad decision after another. And again, I want Trump to pull us out of the bacon. I mean, one of the things I think that's so horrendous that we've watched and we started out with major killner, which was, I'm sorry, cleaner, which was so sad. It's almost like, are we pinching pennies here in the final hour? We're $40 trillion in debt. We've got a Treasury Secretary out there using the American global monetary system underpin by the US dollar as a weapon to achieve policy aims.

50:42And the policies aren't even clear to us. I mean, one of the most offensive things about watching Besson come out and tell us that he's about to crush the Iranian people through economic means is, so are these people telling us that we could have done this by economic means? And instead we went kinetic and murdered thousands of innocent people and did hundreds of billions of dollars in damage to the region on a structural level and trillions of dollars of damage, perhaps in the long run into the global economy. Scott Besson could have done all this from the Treasury by just like playing a master of the computer screens. At some point people, all this becomes offensive. It becomes something where we all begin to realize not only have we been misinformed,

51:46we've been straight up lied to about all sorts of things, okay? And each day we show another weakness. Certainly, this is becoming clear every day in the battle space. And we have no idea how many aircraft were destroyed on the ground with those air bursts that were hitting inside Jordan. And again, let's go back to the air defense. And reports are today that they fired well over 100 Pactus and threes at these incoming weapons. We've only got hundreds of these air defense missiles left. At what point does, you know, mom show up in the basement and tell everybody to put the bomb away and everybody needs to go home.

52:49You know, Leonard Skinner died in a plane crash. Stop playing free bird. Everybody has to begin to understand this. And one of the terrifying things is I don't know what it is that Netanyahu may be holding over Trump. We've talked about it. I'm not going to go back into it again. I believe I have a horrifying story that per usual, the FBI never followed up anything on. But Netanyahu is running for reelection. Netanyahu is running for his personal safety. Netanyahu is running to keep himself from jail. And it's now becoming clear to everybody in Israel that Netanyahu had four knowledge of the October 7th attack that there was a female intelligence unit along the wall that had been pushing intelligence up the rail for months. The Netanyahu's government went to Qatar and sought more funding during this period that

53:52this intelligence was being shared, that the defense minister of Egypt went to the Israelis twice warning them of a cross-border intrusion. Now remember, BB Netanyahu has to run for reelection. BB Netanyahu has to get a coalition government, something that can survive. And there's no saying that he won't. But if he can't, BB Netanyahu is going to jail. He's going to jail inside Israel for just rank corruption. And his wife getting gold necklace is stuck in a Coke can for Mrs. Adelson or someone like Mrs. Adelson and free cigars and champagne and enough, champagne and enough prednisone to keep Miss Piggy and Fedders. He's desperate. Trump should step away from the dock because no reason that he should go down with that ship as well. Because BB is going to be gone in three months and then his Trump answering too.

54:56What was the whole purpose of the Iranian escapade if BB is gone? Or David Barney, the head of Mossad is already gone. BB is probably next. And again, you toss on top of this growing dissatisfaction around the world concerning Israel, growing dissatisfaction around the world concerning the United States. Remember, these fuel cost bites are hitting everybody. And it's not just diesel to get your goods from point A to point B. It's also fertilizer. And we likely had enough in inventory at particularly in the United States and much of Western Europe to get us through this crop season. But are we going to have enough to get us through next crop season? And what are the yields going to be like in the third world? Right? Irony of ironies. They told us that Argentina was a miracle. Remember, Miele, the walk is Trump's best buddy, Trump Jr. They can't even afford beef

55:57in Argentina right now. They're selling it to us so that Trump can whitewash the fact that he's lost control of our own food economy right here. People it's time to wake up. If anybody has any connections to Trump, tell him, step up, I made a mistake, he can blame it on other people. There's no question that he can't blame it on other people, particularly with his character. I don't know. The long run may be that we have a world that is a little bit more polite to each other, a US defense posture that pulls back to our home, own hemisphere and begins spending billions of dollars on Latin America, South America. That would be fantastic. Anyway, people, it's always a joy to hang out with you for an hour on Wednesday nights. This is the National Security Hour and I just want you to support America out loud news. I heart radio and we'll see you next week.

56:59Thanks so much.
