2 Week Ceasefire Reached with Iran | EYES ON GEOPOLITICS

Sees fire just announced two weeks. We'll see how long that lasts. Says with Gucci. It says

excellent. Does that mean good? Last time I checked it those. Here we are. All right. I just sent out the link to the boys. So they should be trickling in. At some point it's gonna be a lot more fluid like we won't just have like a straight-up show like one-hour pod or it'll just be people coming in and out and stuff like that. So we might not even have the full crew

“whatever. Which is gonna be, we're gonna have fun. We're gonna be cute and fun. What's up guys?”

What's up? How are you guys? I'm trying to see. How does it look? How does it sound? Talk to me. Look at the meat shoot this over.

Two. Yeah. Looks like the Pakistanis were in it. They were doing like a lot of

mediating and stuff. Grace period. Sounds clear. Sounds good. But good. Awesome. Good. Love to hear it. Love to hear it. Nice. Maybe if he's doing a speech at A maybe we'll watch that and goof and gaff on it. I mean, you saw that like there was like the last few hours people were all over Twitter saying that, you know, they're working on a late two-week ceasefire through the Pakistanis and all this. So you kind of like the writing was kind of on the wall. And once

Axio starts reporting it, you know, it's like, "All right, yeah, the White House's stenographers are reporting the reporting what they want them to say." Yeah. So let's see where this goes.

So all year in the last few hours, you saw, like, a real big uptake of like bombing and

Toronto and stuff like that. So it was kind of, they were trying to get it in before they called the ceasefire. Let me see. Mark P's coming. All right, enough, enough chatting and

“the signals here. Our signal chat is a wild one. I'll be honest. Well, I think Israel was”

like the idea for Israeli pounding Toronto as well. Pretty tough. Pretty hard over the last few hours as well, because I think they saw the writing was on the wall. I did also see that like somewhere. I was like one tweet. So I don't know if I believe it until like a bunch of people are starting to talk about it. Like that Lebanon was also part of this, which I don't believe. I don't believe because my guess is Israel's probably pushing for these guys to not

do the ceasefire. We're doing it. Ah, so annoying. Can't even sign it to expert. All right, whatever. What do you guys think? Do you guys think it's going to last? Also, like, what comes after, right? Like, what does it even look like on an actual last and kind of piece? I feel like it's not going to be the Jesus out of the tube, as they say in the business, you know, it's out. And you can't get it back in. I wonder what Israel thinks about this

if they want to stop. I think Israel definitely doesn't want to stop. I think they want to keep going for as long as they can possibly go. Um, I hell yeah, we got Jason lines. Yo, what's up, bro? We're alive. Just FYI. Okay. Yeah, let me turn on your echo. Okay. Oh, I can't. We're recording. It's okay. Oh, can I do it? Yeah, if you can. As I'm seeing a little bit of an echo, now it's actually gone. I mean, it comes and goes. No, yeah, it's not even letting me do it. Yeah, I don't

sweat. Yeah, I think it's because we're already alive. Got you. Where am I? 54 people watching. Yo, smash that like button, guys. Smash it. They say that in the biz too. Yeah. And share this, share this stream too. Tell your, tell your friends. Yeah, this one's going to be a little bit more, like fluid. Like, you know, people are going to jump in, jump out. I feel like yeah. Yeah. I can only stay for maybe an hour. Yeah, you're good. It's been a minute. I know, bro, what's up? No,

same old work family getting ready for this wedding. Oh, yeah, excited. Yeah, absolutely. I mean, it's not like I haven't done the stance before, but right. This is it. I'm done. Last one. Yeah.

“How about you, man? How you been? Children, bro. I'm hanging. I'm looking at the chat. That's why”

I'm staring. Yeah, yeah, no. It's, of course, this hits right now. Yeah, I mean, it was, they were kind of like, like, whatever, watering the soil a little bit because for the last few hours, saying, you know, it looks like there might be a two week ceasefire through the Pakistanis and stuff like that. Hmm. I mean, who knows? I think Trump. I mean, Trump fucking lost it this more,

a civilization stuff. Yeah, just. Yeah, absolutely nuts. Yeah, my kids were texting me, like

screenshots of that. And, uh, you know, they're like, is he being serious? Are we talking nuclear weapons? I was like, well, what's calm down, but then again, how do we put anything past them? Yeah, I mean, it's uh, it's just a wild, he's just a freaking wild card dude. And I read that,

“you should read that New York Times article about like the decision making leading up to it.”

Like, like, yeah, and Yahoo rolled up at like on like early early February, like February 11th with like him, the head of the side and a bunch of other people, and they basically pitched, like it was fucking shark tank. Yeah, uh, hitting, hitting around that going harder and around. Yeah, and what was it? Decapitation strike, take out all the leadership, missiles and drones, and then it was, uh, like stoke some kind of resistance and stuff like that, and then regime change. It's like, bro.

Yeah, I want to be six foot four and have like a nine inch hammer. You know what, it's never

going to happen. Exactly. Yeah, it never happens the way it's so it's pitched. Yeah, ever. Yeah. It's just incredible. And also the other, the way it read too, like they were in the situation and talking about this just without the Israeli, just them and how uh, no one has the boss to tell this guy like, no, this is a fucking terrible idea. And it's going to backfire. Yeah. Like they think that like the Iranians are just going to turtle. Like, after they, after we smoke, even if we just

smoke that I told them, right? Like, forget the 40 or 50 guys that we killed, they should be like, oh, we're sorry. Like, yeah, we love democracy now. Like, we love it. They played Trump a video. Like, a trailer, I guess a hype video about who can really lead Iran after and like they put the shots on in there. They put all like, oh, it's going to be a secular democracy. Like, are we, are we, are we serious here? Just have we not heard this story before? It's like an episode of the bachelor

for God's sake. Yeah. Yeah. He's 43 and lives on the river of the era. He'd be a good man. Yeah. Yeah.

We on top of this taco Tuesday. Yeah. That's funny. Trump always chickens out Tuesday. I mean,

I get that statement about taco, like Trump always chickens out, but it's like the guy fucking has been bombing the shit out of Iran and like, you know, basically throwing dynamite into like the

“global economy for the last three weeks. So, or month. Yeah. I think in my opinion that he, yes,”

he does taco, but I think it depends on what it is and it depends on who's like whispering in his ear. If it's, you know, you're doing great. This is awesome, which seems like his entire cabinet does. And it makes him look tough. He's going to keep doing it. You know, all the way up to the the brink. And I think it would also take reverse psychology to get him to stop. You know, like you've accomplished what you want. You know, you've done it. You've done a great service for the

Iranian people and that would get him to stop. You know, more less than this is screwed up. We have no plan here. You know, it's funny. Reverse psychology. Like he's a toddler. Yeah, exactly. He's got the nuclear codes. Yeah. Milburn. Andy, what's up, dude? We're alive. Just have a way. Andy. Oh, cool. Okay. So, no, no, no, no berating, no berating the US Navy and the aircraft carriers. Actually, you'll do that on the show. I was going to say, does it really, man? Yeah. Yeah.

So we're talking about we're doing quick summary of what we know. Yeah, sure. We talked about it a little bit like ceasefire for two weeks. There's any like details in terms of what's in that ceasefire is the straight open up like what. Yeah. The straight was a central point. My understanding was that for whatever that means. I mean, obviously what it means is the Iranian have agreed not to disrupt shipping or not to threaten shipping anymore. And fans is going to lead negotiations

“is what the Axios article says, which is a definite improvement. I think, right,”

from Whitcar for the. Yeah. Yeah. Who got us into this, into this mess? Netanyahu's not happy. There's he grams probably not happy. They were, they wanted to hold out.

gone from being pessimistic to optimistic, maybe because it's to a clock in the morning here.

“Man, you're still up. Yeah. Why was up because the water was cut off. I think in anticipation”

a world ball three. And I'm hoping now there's a ceasefire that'll turn it on. Yeah. Take a shower. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I know. And of course, our three or four times a day. I can't go to sleep discussing. Oh, what, so what happened in the, and someone was saying that Toronto was getting that the United States was striking Toronto. I think the IDF and and us, we were, it pounded them the last few hours. I was going to think that the ceasefire was on the

on the cards. Yeah. Okay. All shocks as if Graham and BBR have said, then that's a good, that's

good thing for America in the world. I agree with you. Who said that? One of the chatters in the chat because we're live. All right. Okay. Great. This is why the Graham and BBR said it's probably

“good thing for America in the world. Yeah. Yeah. I think so. I think, you know, Lindsay Graham. John,”

what's up, bro? We're alive. We're alive. Yeah. But now, all right. Yeah. Thank God. And you know, everyone thought that the Pakistanis didn't have any leverage with anyone, but they were the mediators of this, not out of one, not, you know, so kudos to them, huh? They are in nuclear armed countries. They do have that over the other options that were in there. That is true. Yeah. What was the name of that guy? Who was the father of the nuclear program? Thank you,

John. John. Thank you. Yeah. That's quite a story, isn't it? Mm-hmm. He's a, uh, he's a national hero then. And you know, I cannot blame the Pakistanis for making them a national hero because it's certainly changes the dynamics, doesn't it? Once you're in nuclear power, just ask King John. Yeah. I've got the Samsung option right here, which is actually the story about how Israel got the bomb through a Qcon in contrast to that. Yeah. Yeah. Love to read that. Yeah, they didn't get it from

actually had it. We actually had a gym, gym law or former CIA guy who was like big into the, you know, played a big hand in taking down that network. I mean, but they still got the bomb, right? So it's not like,

“yeah, and actually their centrifuge, the, the, the level one centrifuge they had, and I think it was”

1988 or 89 is the base model that Iran used in their centrifuges. And now Iran's like seven generations

beyond that first generation that they got from Pakistan. Three Marines, someone said, I know.

Well, not yet three Marines. Yeah. What? Three Marines one. Somebody said that in the chat with an exclamation point, very excited. Oh, yeah. I don't know if he's going to join us. He's big time now after Israel. So I'm getting skepticism from my Israeli friends. And yes, I still have Israeli friends, I've to running that article. The sirens are going in Tel Aviv now. I mean, like, right now. Of course, that doesn't necessarily mean they're being here. Maybe it was just the

ceasefire with the United States. I mean, do we do a dirty on yet another? Sorry about them. Just, yeah, don't, don't tell the Israelis that the BB's not happy anyway. I'm not laughing. Is it, the ceasefire starts right now, like, right? Oh, it's just like us. That would be this 40 chess. So the ceasefire is like right. It's happened immediately, right? Mm-hmm. Yeah, look at the markets already. The future is shooting up. Oil is, oil is down, down.

You know, you know, a lot of people in the know made money on this, right? Of course. The Barack Revie just tweeted, unit, unit 8200 news. A senior White House official tells me Israel has agreed to a ceasefire and will also suspend its attacks for two weeks. The ceasefire will take effect when Iran opens the street of our moves. Oh, so, you know, but that's, it's not like they have a barrier across the streets of Hormuz. They're closing the streets by disrupting ships through

the threat of missiles and drones. So how do you open the streets and thus trigger the ceasefire?

the Barack Revie. You have a, I'll just continue. Why do I, I've seen your White House official

“told in that. Supposedly. That's what you said. Listen, I get it. I think I said, just say, hey,”

it's open now. I don't know. Put out a press release. I don't know this. Yeah. It's going to be a ribbon cutting. Yeah. There was some talk to that Lebanon was, it was also part of the ceasefire. I don't believe that. Like, is there also a ceasefire in Lebanon as well in the way with Israel Lebanon? There would be good news for Lebanon for sure. Is that's kind of the one thing that's getting swept under the rug a little bit and I talked about, as well as Gaza, Lebanon was getting pounded by Israel.

Damn it. Yeah, I guess it's all Iranis. Is he sleeping, sleeping off his slippery status? I don't know where he is. I think he said he was getting a tattoo and like he gets his huge tattoos at like six hours. Yeah. So I don't know if he's jumping. He has been snarking in our group chat though, just now. You know, he's beyond us now. Yeah. He wrote guessing it goes as well as the Gaza ceasefires. So, Jack is very optimistic on this. Is that what he said? Yeah. No, I mean, there's see no one

really had an incentive in the Gaza ceasefire. That's a difference. Everyone has an incentive in this one, except perhaps for the Israelis, right? But then they're not going to unilaterally stop shooting missiles at Iran. Yeah, it's interesting. The president of Iran, Fizescian, who's

got no power currently. Obviously, he says that 14 million Iranians will die for the country right

now that are willing to sacrifice their lives, which is actually double the number that another regime official said. So that's between 7 to 15% of the country might support them based on their own rhetoric, which is in their own definition. Problem is, when we start threatening to destroy civilisations, we are uniting a population of a country behind the regime. Yeah. Right. And I mean, entirely foreseeable consequence, that was not for seeing. Yeah. Did someone say in our chat that

some of the citizens were like lining up on bridges or something like that? Yeah. Yeah,

“that's true. Yeah. Yeah. I think Israel like over the down. I think Israel too,”

over the last couple of days, like blew up like eight bridges over the last 48 hours or so. Yeah. I mean, bridges are the most understandable. What do you have? Do all of this infrastructure, right? I mean, bridges are not a war crime. But when you start going after electrical grids and an energy infrastructure, then you, you're kind of following the Russian model. And that's where we're on thin ice, having, having lambass, the Russians quite rightly

for what they're doing in Ukraine. Of course, it's not like minus 20 fucking degrees here in the Middle East. So, but nevertheless, what we were threatening to do was was putting a song on thin ice. Yeah. I mean, that's when that day from Trump was insane. Imagine somebody else post that, like another world leader, you know, Putin talking about Ukraine or what they could do. But then normally, you know, the heads of places like North Korea or Iran, right? Yeah. Well,

“one is like, how would we react? How would the America react? I mean, how have we been saying?”

They've been screaming death to America for 40 something years. And, you know, this is the reason for it.

But now, he's saying the exact same thing. The problem is that in their pronouncements,

once the war started, the Iranians actually, I listen to, you know, I'm a US Marine at heart, but the Iranians were quite circumspect. I mean, they said they were going to continue with the war, but they had an eye on Stratcom messaging. I mean, I'll shut up in a moment because John's mudfast smarter than me, but it, but globally, and I'm outside the United States right now, globally, we didn't win the Stratcom battle in this war. There's a lot of how many targets we destroyed.

I mean, talking about our global audience and not just countries, we don't give a shit about that countries that we may well rely on. We haven't come out looking very good in that

generally, like back in 2014 when ISIS and Daesh came up and declared the caliphate and they

“had these high production value videos of the violence that we're doing and they're training videos”

and all that. We started to kind of get after it, especially with Galvan Phoenix and other programs

we were using to try to exploit media, associated with that. But we never really got ahead of that

and it was kind of a catch-up puzzle. And even now, if you look on Twitter, all these high-production value Iran regime-produced videos of like legos and all the stuff with the U.S. and all the FBI videos of transomical soundtracks too. Yeah, I mean, they know how the audience is going to respond to that and they're doing a really good job of producing things that they know people will reshare, even if they don't like intrinsically support what the message is. It looks cool. It's fun to watch.

There's good job in that. We've reshed them. Yeah, yeah. I mean, it's far outpace the Trump dropping shit on a crowd of protesters video, you know, that little AI thing, far outpace that. So we have that going for us. Also, it's kind of interesting watching, like,

just sent calm, like, tweet out, like, fact checks and stuff like that because I've never,

“I don't remember that ever being a thing. And we have citizens that are trained in making”

these videos and doing this production and actually can do it in the military, not just CIA, which also can do it. But like, in in sent calm, you could have sent calm, producing counter narrative at the same production value level. You know, we have combat camera, whatever we call it. Now, strike strategic communications, now I guess we call it, they're a calm strap. We can still do that. And we're not doing it. It's like, what, this is a domain. The information

domain is a domain, you know, and we need to be our warfighting functions need to be touching that domain, just like we're touching the actual physical space. John, let me ask you, like, is there a, because our range, most of our range, it's out? Is there, is it difficult for us to reach the Iranian population with that kind of stuff? There's actually interesting, you mentioned something about that earlier about Trump's threat. I

wonder how many Iranians are actually able to see that threat, because they don't have the internet. So I wonder if it's more a domestic consumption statement than you may. I know it doesn't think that clearly sometimes, but maybe that was more for the US side or for the Pakistanians or something like that. But in Iran, I mean, this is my thought from the very beginning. If you want regime change,

“that's what I do that is let the people do the regime change. Let the people be in the street.”

And if you do that, we have low worth orbit satellites. We have mesh networks. We can get stuff wound up there real quick. Yes, there's already Starlink, but you could create one that's proprietary or Iran. That's over there doing direct to cell communications from February 28 until now. And not saying it was sold the problem 100%, but it would give the people the space to actually get out there and communicate and coordinate. Find out, hey, is there food and water in this next

village over so I can go get some, because they can't even do that right now. And so if you set that up, the people can now actually get outside and guess what, then you can use all that air power that we're using that is very good to protect those people. So when I actually go out in the street and you see a group of buscities coming to them, we'll through that that reaper or that great eagle, you can just destroy the buscities coming up to them and pretty quick they'd stop trying to stop the people or they'd run out of people.

You know, and it just kind of baffles me why was that not part of the plan that would have been a very cheap, relatively cheap part of this operation to dramatically increase like force multiply across all the domains that are involved in this right now. If you just get those people out there. Yeah, yeah, in my opinion the people are the the fact of boots on the ground, you know, but they can't get out there on the ground because they're too busy taking shelter, you know,

it's like I'm not saying we completely stop dropping iron, you know, dropping steel, but we've there's got to be some kind of coordination between that and like you said, getting the message to the people so that they can do their part. Yeah, and we had something similar like that in Iraq in 2016, 2017 when we turned the war around against ISIS, you know, we're doing a lot of precision strikes. We did something like 30,000 strikes and three or six months, something like that.

Precision, I mean, we had human trigger strikes all over the place. We had dynamic targeting, we had deliberate targeting, beautifully mapped across and coordinated, not just US side, that was with indigenous people inside behind enemy lines, inside Mosul occupied areas, providing information using repeaters and other kind of information that we were able to set up with them to talk back to us so that we could talk to them outside of the denied area. And then we'd have

targets hit within minutes of that information. We can do it and we have done it and we can do it on a large scale and I just could get baffles made that we don't not doing it now. Yeah, extending

an internet into denied areas. My new we had some major fuckups basically before we figured out

how to do that right. Now, Iraq was spent a lot of money on the extent with contractors who

put your fingers on your own and do like a source repeater network that we would be able to provide

direct to self communication to people using outside. So, for example, a test a lot or a correct, which is the one in Kurdistan, you could do a correct repeater around the four areas and actually get people communicating, but they're not doing it at all. None. Now that I've seen, I know that there's some started, you know, assisted in the area, but it's probably starlink as it's a giant target on your back. If you have a starlink terminal,

“you know, you need to have such widespread diluted access that it's impossible to actually stop it.”

I feel as good news, my water is on and grads and you go watch running. It's running brown, but that's all right. You've had worse waters as well. Yeah. Take a sun shower. Yeah. So, who knows, I wake up to a world at peace, huh? Yeah, everything's going to be great. Everything's going to be fine once you wake up. Right, fellas. Hey, D. So, this means that we can now do our

alive, eyes on the life, but an episode of eyes on from Dubai, the city at the center of the wall. Sure. I think, with the extensive coverage that we have done and the income and the advertising,

we can get a first class ticket out there. Yeah, absolutely. We'll charter a jet. Yeah, absolutely.

That's on jack. Deep pockets, uh, the great, the great jet. He spent the budget on his tattoo. So, yeah, he spent all of his Twitter money on the tattoo that I mark Paul and Marapolis is joining. It's Mark. We're alive. FYI, okay? So, great to see. I mean, you do push up again. We switched them to our British friends across the pond on a British radio. So, I managed to throw in Taco Tuesday on that. So, and I was kind of fun.

So, for me, like, what? That helps a lot of people in the chat are saying Taco Tuesday too. You just, I'm used to serve this up. No pun intended. They have like Vindaloo Friday in the UK.

By the way, just, it was on LBC, it was a, you know, a pretty big British station and just

“wither in criticism of Trump that he caved on this. I think that they probably are analysis is”

certainly not going to be shared by the people on the right or the FDD, the Freedom and Defense of Democracy's crowd. We're going to be insufferable as Andy knows. But wither in criticism on this, that he definitely caved. So, did they accept the, like, the 10-point plan that, like, at least hinted towards accepting it for the C-Swire? The 10-point plan that Iran sent back. Countering our 15-point. D, we're going to, I mean, again, what we're, we're at a disadvantage here.

We're actually talking about diplomacy and really important things on a true social post. And so, you know, so Trump claimed that. He also wasn't sure we weren't sure if the Iran Iranians actually have accepted to open a reopening the straight-of-arm move. So, you know, who knows what the hell this is? I think he was just looking for a way out. And then we're really trying to accept it. Yeah, I mean, you know, and so that, but this is going to be,

this isn't a test of my patience. I probably have to get off of social media because this is going to be really couched from the kind of, the pro is real right. Again, freedom defense of democracy. It's drives us all crazy. As a massive Trump victory in some fashion. And I already got a note from a former Masada officer who I work very closely with, not happy. These really, oh, that can't. I've been in the phone with someone in Tel Aviv. It says, "Sirens are going there now."

Bro, this is bullshit. See you on. Okay, that's a natural reason. I don't know, frame. This is nobody told us. So I lateral ceasefire. You didn't let us in on this. I'm like, "Oh my, my Trump is also going to absolutely kind of bludgeon Netanyahu to accept this." And so, you know, that's going to be funny. Oh, baby. You know, there's going to be a lot of, so, and, you know, again, who knows what happens? But, you know, look for Barack review to tell us

that all the great, you know, points of disagreement. In the farce media, it says Trump's humiliating

“retreat from anti-irron rhetoric. That's how the Iranian media is painting it, which is accurate.”

Well, it would be interesting to see what the Pakistani media is saying, because we'd probably get the real truth from, you know, what the president of Pakistan is saying. That's, that's, that's what this is. That's what I just say. See, this is going to trigger me all over the place. You know, so, because, you know, when it comes to the government of Pakistan, a lot of us have memories of Afghanistan, and I'm sitting on the

border and getting, you know, eating 170 millimeter rockets, fired from Pakistani military positions

So the idea that somehow Pakistan is back on our good graces is going to be tough to be personally

to swallow, but, you know, that this is, it's a fellow autocrat. So Trump loves these folks. Might you let bygones be bygones. That's just, this just too many groups of people to hate in the world. I'm Greek. Do you know this? I don't forgive anybody. Yeah, no one ever. I'm, I'm, I'm the opposite. I'm the spectrum. I'm, I'm ultra forgiving. You're a lover. You're a lover. Yeah. I don't care.

Yeah. I don't think you've dee for pouring whiskey down my throat on those. Yeah, you know, I'm forced to even understand insisting that I take off my clothes. Yep. That was me. You're right. It sounds like a reddit. We had the ladies in the, we had

ladies in the room and they were, they were agging on Andy and once Andy heard the ladies scream

and he started taking, he started disrobing. Yeah. And then I found out they're actually screaming for Jack. Jonathan, question to you in terms of, uh, uh, and this is just a kind of thick back and, you know, actually, all you guys, Jason and Andy too, like you're on the mute right now throughout the flow to sit in there and you get this news, like what's the, what are the emotions of the, of the

Marines who probably thought as we were still opening up carguer island, um, over the last, you know, 12 hours that that might have been in preparation for some kind of, uh, uh, you know,

“movement of, uh, of ground forces. What do you think they're thinking right now?”

Well, it's sort of extensively, uh, externally. There's a lot of outward disappointment. I think, though, for individual Marines, that a huge amount of relief. Uh, uh, and there's a lot of courage and weight feeling where it's like, okay, we already probably got told to go and get back and go and get back multiple times before the new even got there because I'm sure when they were in California and Japan, they were told like six times they're, they're going and not going. I remember

a buddy of mine that was on the fast team that was going into Libya, uh, back when the 2011 kicked off or 2012 September. And, uh, they told me to get on off the airplane like seven times before they actually flew out of Italy. Over there, you know, and they told them to like, change their clothes. They couldn't be in civilian clothes. They're going to fly on candies and then back and forth again, same thing. And I'm sure that's been going on the rumor mill on that ship is probably

been out of control. Like, you mentioned a few weeks ago, Andy, like the room it on there. Like, you don't even know what's true until you're actually on the airplane. I'll tell you what the, well, I guarantee the one of the main rumors that's running through all the bovogs right now is

we're stopping in Australia. It always happens. That's always the rumor. It's like, ah,

ship, we're not going to war. But we're going to Australia. Someone starts that and it spreads like wirefire because to Marines, Australia is the land of milk and honey. Yep. Mark will actually reach down at Rota. I don't know why. You know, I'm afraid with that,

“we shipped our convicts there. I think, too, that it also depends on to answer your question,”

the rank and age of the, these Marines, because as you know, the younger ones are probably like shit, you know, I wanted to go get some, the GWAT Vets, the private staff sergeants in above, or like, you know, we're not doing this shit again, thank God. And the older are probably thinking the same thing. But now have to, you know, control the rumor mill. So I think that has a lot to do with it. And plus there's guys that are outside the ship that are doing advanced force operations and

doing preparation, the environment stuff. They're like out there that are probably kind of pissed, because they just built a bunch of structures to put in place to move a lot of people and either those things aren't being validated or they're falling apart or they're on home. And that's, that's a pain in the ass. So there's, there's, there's some interesting stuff coming up. So they said, uh, a senior White House official says Israel has agreed to cease fire and will suspend its attacks

for two weeks, but the cease fire takes effect only when Iran opens the street. And there's mutants. Well, and so so now the Iranians are saying they just announced, for a period of two weeks, safe passage to the street will be possible via coordination with Iran's armed forces. Interesting. But they're obliterated. We can, they coordinate each other. We do consideration of technical limitations. And so that's a little bit different than what Trump wrote in his true social posts complete

immediate and safe opening of the street. And so, you know, there's a lot that's going to but his, his issue that we're talking about, there's no such thing as opening the street, right? It, it is forebearing from shooting ships that are trying to get through the street.

“And the only way to test that out is to try to ship through the street, right, with Jericho”

and remote. So, I mean, I don't forget, wake off, is it a test of the validity of the cease fire, right? I'm getting from somebody from New York Times. It's not, it's not a ribbon cutting. It's, you know, how do you, it's an open question. No one can answer it, but it's not as though there's a physical

minute intervention that pushed the agreement. So, yeah, and we'll see. And then, you know, you think,

back and, and, you know, these still was a rush. Right, yes, that's true. But, you know, this is the same kind of, atage that, you know, I got to think about this, the things to kind of think of, to say about this, and this is, you know, we're going to go back to the mowing the lawn if there are these railies all accept us because Trump's going to beat them over the head with it, but they're going to go back if they have to. And so, if the old adage in the Middle East, there's no such thing

as when wars end, they just kind of, you know, it's R and R until you get ready for the next one.

“And I think that's probably accurate. And so, you know, I think that, you know, this is all super”

preliminary, but maybe a discussion just for a couple minutes would be, okay, you know, what, look in the, in the US perspective, what war objectives have been achieved. I think that maybe that's a good point of discussion. Jason, what do you think? Well, I mean, obviously, we've hit a lot of targets, so I don't know what the target that looked like. I don't know, you know, what the broad strategic plan looked like on paper, but I think militarily they can say, we hit the targets,

we said we're going to hit, and that's, that is kudos to the air crews, the, you know, the crew, the ground crews, things like that, and, you know, whoever we have on the ground, processing these targets, but I don't know, if we're talking regime chains that's being thrown out there, or willy-nilly, I, I don't see it, you know, from my little five foot,

“you know, view, but I guess they're going to, I think, much like the,”

rescue of the whizzo, they're just going to keep creating out these military achievements, these or tactical military achievements. I don't see a strategic victory in my opinion. Jonathan, what about the new program? Well, we don't see any new developments in that that are publicly, but to me, you know, I'm thinking about denied, degrade, disrupt, like these are the kind of things that we can say that have happened, and in some degree, it, you know, different ways,

but those are not defeat, they're not obliterate, so like, if we're looking at lines of effort on the campaign plan, they're, like, if defeat Iran was on there, that is not a sheet, right?

So the problem is when the war started, we were not given discreet objectives. Those objectives

were kind of assembled along the way and kind of repackaged as things progressed, not according

“to plan, if there was such a plan, and like use of Jason, I think there's a lot of tactical and”

operational successes that are being repackaged as strategic outcomes, and it doesn't work like that. You can't work backwards from what you've done and just explained it as if that was your, your idea, the whole time. Andy, what do you think? Yeah, I mean, I think, I think we've achieved this best. If we kept our objective sane, which was, you know, exactly what Jonathan said, that like DQ, then yes, we've been, we've probably been as successful as we could hope for.

I mean, but the thing is that Chief among our, previously, when the, before this even kicked off right, when the campaign was being designed, you know, and it was on the shelf, what do we say? I mean, objective wise, John, a number one objective, the nukes, the nukes, right? So, you know, it's kind of a war of, it wasn't, I mean, listen, I, I, I spent just like you guys, most of my, a lot of my career planning against the Iranians, the, the only casualties I took as of the

talent commander were caused by Iranians. I've gone a reason to love the regime, but this was, you know, it's a war of choice, and, and the objectives that we achieved were really Israel's

objectives, our main objective had to do with the nukes program, at least. That's always what we have said,

and effect on that is unknown, but I did some likely to have been obliterated. But, you know, I mean, I understand we can take a win if we've said a wrong back. If it, but I, I mean, goal was, was always the nukes, weapon number two was support for proxies, always, right? I mean, because that was what was destabilizing the Middle East, the threat of nukes, you know, I mean, they bizarre, a policy of non-proliferation, and then regional stability in the Middle East,

and Iran was a threat to both of those, and that is why we selected those objectives. How do you deal with it? What effect, until I, what effect we've had on those two? Do your favorite subject, the New York Times article about the, is really pressure? We talked about it a little bit before that. All right. No, no, no, continue. Please. I want you to, I know, I, I, I want to hear your rant on this. This is, uh, well, I mean, frankly, like having

fucking Jared Kushner or Steve Wick off any way near the fucking situation room is out of control.

Like, what are we doing? The guy is, and obviously Israel, the guy is obviously a liability,

“we have a strip mall developer as our special envoy. It's like, the whole thing is fucking”

batshit. Like, if we're being honest here, you guys are all professionals in this world, and you know it too. You don't have to say it. I'll say it. I'll be the guy. I'll be the bad guy. It's fine. Yeah, it's, and when they were making that final decision before, uh, you know, before, he gave the final go ahead. They're sitting there with five or six people, and nobody can give any fucking descent, not even Jady Vance. Like, you know, he must have leaked all this stuff. I mean,

that was like a, that was a defendant. I, you know, I, you know, I know Jonathan Swan. I mean, I know these, these reporters, and so they're, and they're doing their job, but to me, it was

incredible, you know, covering your ass on this thing. Jady Vance is the one who seemingly

is the one who reached it. It looks the best in this whole thing. Yeah. Yeah, he looks like the only one that's actually has like a working, working brain to be honest, um, even though he kind of he kind of pushed out to you, right? He, he, his whole and Mo for their long time while he was running, and, you know, while he was bringing, brought up is like the groomed as the VP was getting out of these wars, right? And America first and that bullshit. So where is that exactly? While we're spending,

you know, we've spent probably 20 upwards of 20 billion dollars plus so far. Yeah, uh, it's just the dynamics that go on in there where it's everyone's scared to say anything. It's like, I don't know what the decision should be, but I know your decision will be right. Somebody said that. Like, are you fucking kidding me? You're a professional. You're supposedly a professional. So there's one mind boggling. I got a raise on this because so, and then of course, Radcliffe is in there

kind of trying to be the one again. He came out looking fairly okay on this because he's showing descent. Although you can then contrast that, which is why I got question that, you know, this is like the old Bob Woodward books. And it's, it's a narrative. It's an account. There's an agenda there, but you take a look at that CIA video that they put out of Radcliffe. Great. Thank you, guys. Which was, I mean, the reaction I got from people inside was freaking hilarious. But, you know,

it's just like licking his boots, but yet in the background, he was showing some reservations about this. You can't really have it both ways. I'm sorry. Hey, one quick thing for Jonathan. I'm just reading something here now. And again, this is as we kind of, this is all live with a 10-point plan. One of the pieces of the 10-point plan is full sanctions relief on Iran. Well, holy shit, frankly. If that's something that the US has agreed to, you know, that is pretty extraordinary.

“And so, that's why I think that, I mean, you know, I mean, talk about that because”

the maximum pressure campaign had so much to do with that. If, you know, if Trump agreed to that, just to get the straight-of-harmoos open. Wow. The thing is with sanctions, you can't just turn them off. So you can stop enforcing them. That's true. But, you know, in the corporate world, the market drives everything. And if the market doesn't trust, like the collective market does not trust that these will remain unenforce, there will not be interaction. Like people won't

go and do business in Iran. And actually, remember back in the Clinton administration in 1990s, there was a brief relief on sanctions in Iran and Clinton allowed carpets, pistachios, saffron, and a couple of other products to be sold inside the United States directly. And companies didn't want to do it. Because they were afraid that when Clinton's out of office, they're going to have to close their businesses down and leave. And this is kind of

similar issue with the tariffs, where there was this idea that, okay, we do these tariff things, and suddenly people can bring industry to the United States, and some companies did that. And the tariffs were enjoined by the courts, which meant that there wasn't no financial incentive

in these companies are left to drive, and I just invested $100 million here. And I'm out,

and nobody's helping me. And it's the same inverse in Iran. If you say suddenly you can do business in Iran and Iran can join the swift bank network again, which they were kicked out of in 2018, people aren't, the market's not going to leave that. Right. Like there's the short-term changes when you look at like oil futures, like right now it's 19% drop in two hours on oil futures, which isn't sane. That's oil futures. That's just a simple, a little small thing. That's not

people moving manufacturing industry into Iran, which would be fantastic if they did. So it's like the market has to believe this. It's kind of like we're talking about the Straits of Formus. You can say they're open, but it's merit's going to get insurance. That's as cheap as it was before to move oil through there. It's about, I mean, the whole idea of this

was that Iran was to walk away as the toll booth operator in the agreement. It's 2 million. We're

“the million and they chop it with Oman, right? Yeah. So again, I think as we kind of decipher this”

that happened just a couple of minutes ago, there's going to be some things where you're kind of scratching your head. How much has Trump actually capitulated on this? It was looking for a way out.

Jason, we've been like, we've been hammering this crazy ass president for, you know, for all the

“things. But now there's a ceasefire we've backed down. So now we're going to hammer him for being a big”

pussy. I mean, you know, so it's kind of funny. And so there's already some criticism I'm

seeing on social media for people like us like a whole lot of a second. You guys were saying

he's a crazy man causing World War III yet. Now he's not going to do it. Now you're making fun of him for backing down. So yeah, I mean, there's a little bit of a some truth in that maybe maybe I certainly have, you know, a little Trump derangedments syndrome. I know, Dita. I'm not really shitting on him because he backed out because he made the ceasefire. I mean, frankly, I'm shitting on him because a month ago, or a little bit over a month ago, the deal that was on the

table, diplomatically, far exceeded, whatever this kind of ever create ever get to. And we didn't have to lose 13 guys and 400 plus people get injured. And, you know, really fucked the world of economy, too, right? Like we didn't have to do all that. We still got a better deal of diplomatically.

But Steve Wick, I'm going to go back to them because they're the fucking worse. Steve Wick,

often, Jericho, and don't have a technical expert in the room with them while they're doing nuclear negotiations. Like if they were buying a strip mall or leasing something, I have them in the fucking room. But it's a joke. We're a fucking joke. So I mean, I'm happy that the like bombings are going to stop. Obviously, yeah, we did we get fucking bent over by Iran. Yeah, it looks like it. Right now, especially deal point while, like, you know, what we're ending up getting like,

“are they still going to keep their nuclear weapons? Are there uranium? Not their nuclear weapons?”

Yeah, it's a big question mark right now. What happens in two weeks? Israel doesn't love this. Where are they going to do it like kind of cock block this whole thing? Especially if they're going

hit right now with holistic muscles. Kind of kind of interesting. I've read some, I've just

getting some messages from folks. And this is from someone who has access inside the White House. And even it was quoting a White House official saying it's a weird agreement. So I mean, I think it probably took some creative diplomacy and there's going to be some parts in this that we're all going to be shaken. I mean, look, Trump just wanted to stop. And so, you know, that's it. And then the other part of it that I think if you look at the history

of just U.S. diplomacy, usually we have really experienced, you know, negotiators steeped in Iranian history, culture, language. The Iranians are very experienced negotiators, but on our side, I don't even know who was doing this. Maybe it was Jared and Steve Woodcoff and JD Vance, although he's running around hungry, humiliating the United States to know in today.

“But so I think they're just, they probably, the Iranians knew that we were going to come up with”

something weird and we're just going to accept anything, just to have this thing stop for it. Because Trump was just getting pummeled. I mean, this was such a bad day. Public relations wise for the United States. I mean, if it, if it's set the Pentagon almost on fire in terms of holy shit, we're going to be asked to commit war crimes, probably not a bad thing that we have one kind of stood back from the brink.

Guys, what's why net? What's the media source? Why net? It's Russian. Saying what? Because it says ceasefire announced by Trump, it includes Lebanon's Hezbollah and Israel. You're correct. Actually, that's that's point number one. It does. It says complete cessation of the war in Iraq, Lebanon and Yemen, and then further down, which is even crazier, full reparations will be paid to Iran. This tells me this is like not a

legit degree. Yeah. This is going to be fun. Actually, it's fun. Because now it's not going to be, we're winding that we wanted to war to continue. It's just going to be fun making, you know, fun of this agreement, just to see how much Trump. Oh my god. That's, I mean, guys. Because it's even a big point. Why didn't number three war, like point number five, John, ending all conflicts in the region in their entirety. Yeah. It's the Middle East. That's the plan.

Well, number four, the Blosson Rex acts are going to win 100 games. No, and it's not. All right. Bravo. Oh my goodness. No. And it's a complete and permanent cessation of the war on Iran with no time limit. Yeah. So again, it was as, you know, that's the beauty of doing stuff live, you know, the initial stuff. I mean, we should know better that, you know, Trump's provider, it wouldn't be kind of have to dive into the details. And so I guess I'm going to have some fun

with this just because, you know, I watched, you know, Andy getting to kind of some war with, with some of the, kind of the pro-israel crazy types in his little spat when he was writing on more on the rocks. It's going to be fun seeing how people get tried to still even seeing this terrible, if it's a terrible agreement, how they're going to still try to say somehow this is a win. And then the language they use, I already saw it. I mean, not to pick on names, but I, you know, we're all kind of loudly

they form. Yeah. That's it right there. Yeah. And that's what it's always been for them as long as

they can outlast is because they have how many examples in our history of those who have said, all we need to do is outlast them from Vietnam to now. Yep. Yeah. So we, so I'm guessing that like going into the war, Trump was assuming that we would completely take out their missile program and like keep them like completely defenseless and like they still have half their missiles and half their drones. And it's proven to be very difficult to like, you know, take stuff out because it's

mobile and, you know, on the ground outside of smoke and the leader and the 40 other ones behind them, I mean, what have we achieved outside of high gas prices and like, you know, squeeze on the

global economy and, you know, how can, how can, how can fucking cutter, how can any of our GCC countries

“trust us ever? Yeah. I don't say the best thing in some of the, you know, Fox News is going to”

go into a kind of orgasmic plea about the brilliance of the president itself. Well, like you told, like, we were on the group chat before Mark and you mentioned like turning on Fox News, so I turned it on. And they're like, they did a whole segment with a panel, like a six people talking about like a Soleimani's daughter that got arrested and the other one that was the, the one of the hostage takers, the woman. Yeah. What's their name? Yeah. What's their like,

what's the, they gave her scream and something like, yeah, that's a nickname she's got. Anyway,

her son lives in LA and not like they're just talking about these like, like guys, what are we

care about like these like dilatant kids living in like who gives us shit? It's just like this constant just propaganda of like they're living in our country. You have to take them out. Like what the, your wasting airtime on this shit, you're like a major news them. Yeah. So like Mark told me that I did it. I turned it on. I got triggered. I was like, I can't believe this. Oh, I know. There's a program director or producer saying like, this is a, this is a great segment. We should

do the segment. This is killer. Because if they didn't put these filler stories in there, they'd have to actually talk about what's really happening, you know, there. So this is what they do. You know, it's like, um, and I'm sure I'm going to trigger somebody with this. It's like with these, uh, ice stories, you know, um, a U.S. citizen give killed, but it's like, oh, you know, but this guy killed this girl and he's in a legal, you know, he's illegal. Okay. That's true. But that's the,

does that mean that all murders are done by illegal. But you know, they've got to kind of counter,

“they've got to fill that space. So that's what they're doing here. Oh, fun. All right, fellas,”

I got to, I got to, I got a roll. I get out of your mark. Good to see you. Thanks for coming. That was fun. And we'll do it again. Yeah, we'll be back on Sunday, regular regular schedule program. I'm sure there will be a ton to shit to talk about then, too. Like, all right, like, because this doesn't seem like an actual, like, they agreed. We agreed to this shit, like we didn't agree to this. Yeah, that's the point. It was actually sent by John. John, but we're going to go one.

We're going to Jonathan. I'm going to go back on his really TV just to know a day. Yeah, without recording. No, go on it. Just make sure you plug eyes on. I'm fine with it. I don't give you shit. Take care. Okay. Take care of me. Go on a rainy and TV. I don't care. Go on the farce. Just plug us. Well, he sang John that 10 point plan that I was mentioning was was the Iranian plan that was shared to the US that the US has said is a good starting point for negotiations,

which is crazy because I mean, the thing is starting, the most extreme list. And it's also not

“an agreed on plan. So like, what is the actual ceasefire? Who said that was a good starting?”

Trump, he said, I believe it is a workable basis on which to negotiate. We surprised what the bro. So, bro, he, this is like elder abuse at this point, right? Like, he's just like an old, dotty guy and like Lindsey Graham's got him from behind. Like, like, I don't know what's going on here. Dude, it's crazy. I guess he got freaked out by like the Magga Hardcore. I mean, Tucker Carlson called him the antichrist. You know, yeah, and Alex Jones too was freaking out

about until. Yeah. Alex Jones is talking about the 25th. Yeah. Yeah. So, you lose those two cook who birds, you know, something's not right. We got a, we got a big don't know a donation from a read, read YK. Thank you boys for keeping us informed. Nice to hear from actual expert sending support from my beloved shithole in Brooklyn. Lovely. Hey, brick, Brooklyn's nice. I heard.

there's parts of Brooklyn like our shitty, but that's like anywhere. Yeah. A Brooklyn's good. I've got a brunch. Do you see someone said, uh, Caravaggio, 8003 said he is a professional season Brooklyn. I. Yeah. I get worked up and I just start running

“my mouth. I love it. Do you ever run into AOC when you're walking down the streets of Brooklyn?”

Oh, I wish, bro. I wish. I love her. I love her. I wish I run into her. It's like, your baggy. It's my wings. I think she doesn't quaint. I think not that I've been following her. I swear. Do you, I don't know if you saw it. There was a guy who got a busted in Jersey for, um,

basically he had like a shithon of um, pipe bombs in his house. And like he was literally like

walking outside and just lighting these things and just throwing them in the street. So, just for apparently for years, because this came through a work before I hit the nose came through my job. So apparently this guy for years, people have been complaining about explosions. And, uh, what they sound like explosions and the cops come out and not find anything or whatever. So one day, I think it was last week or whatever. Apparently this guy set something off. And so they call the cops

cops pull up. Just as a guy walks outside and he's like powder burns, blue stuff all over his face and everything. And, um, it made me think of that guy that, um, was it a video you sent us of something

in your neighborhood like lighting something? Oh yeah. Yeah. I neighbor. That's my neighbor. That's

it. He lives like four houses down. He went a little cuckoo. He was off his meds and something. He's a nice guy. He's a cromudgeon. He's an old guy. He's a little bit of cromudgeon. So he just came out the crib out of the house. Like it was snow everywhere too. So it's must be in January. Just popping off rounds. I'd like some random car, but it turns out it was a starter pistol. So he's not getting in trouble. Cool. It's crazy. No. He, he, it was crows craze. Yeah.

That video was a lot. I got the video like right away to like the neighbors are talking

“sending that video around. Yeah. It was wild. It was wild. Is he back? So he's back home?”

I saw him today. Yeah. I was like, yo, it's up right. How are you doing?

It seems better. Which is good. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. He seems better though. I think I think because using the it was in like a, like a psychic facility for like a month. Yeah. Something to crap with anybody. I guess. Yeah. Just start shooting your starter pistol to the street at a random fucking car. Pretty sure if I did that. I would not be on the next podcast. No. You'd be shot. You'd be shot. Bye cops. Yeah. Oh, man. Um. Yeah. So I don't know if you guys saw what Mark P. just sent that tweet.

Like breaking down good somewhere. The problems with the agreement. I mean, yeah. This agreement is going to get like dissected because it sounds like it's bad shit insane. John, what do you think? What should we like look for in the next few days? What are you all looking for? Reached or not, especially from the Israeli side because this has happened with Israel versus Lebanon a lot of times where they'll come to a ceasefire and then during the ceasefire,

Israel continues striking because they claim the other side is violated somehow. Some curious since it sounds like Israel is told by the US that there was a ceasefire that Israel must

“now follow, which I don't think usually happens in that direction. I think it's the other way around”

usually. So I'm curious to see what level of actual, you know, discussions going to go on there about how they can actually sustain that or not. And if Iran continues firing missiles that they might claim like, oh, what's we already fired that boost to late? You know, as that can be a pretext that Israel uses plus the hoothies again are kind of on their own. They do sometimes follow the regime, but also sometimes operate independently. So they might not be ready to stop harassing people.

So it might be that the regime doesn't have the kind of control that it needs to actually keep the lid on violence. And also should be looking for how does the regime treat the Iranian people in these two weeks? Are they going to start? Because they're not firing outboard, are they going to turn their weapons in board and start looking for people that have been collaborating over the past two months? You know, I'm sure this been quite a few people working with different

intelligence communities over the past two months. And the regime's going to be looking for them. So now they'll have the space to do that. And the question is will the US help behind the scenes to not let them do that? You know, this is also a great opportunity for again the US to give the internet to the Iranian people in these two weeks. Because if they do that, and Iran is now pressured to not retaliate as strongly, that could also help those people get out in the street and then

done, you know, all of the quote unquote leaks or whatever about going back to that, the

“rescue of the extraction of the whistle, you know, sources and methods and things like that,”

why they weren't necessarily specifically named. Like we're talking around things that IRGC and others, you know, they're going to focus on that. They're going to hone on that. So because if we if this thing doesn't hold and, you know, air strikes continue, the chances are that another aircraft is going to go down. So is it going to, you know, things going to happen this exact same way based on everything that's been put out there, you know. So I'm sure that's something

that hopefully somebody is thinking about. Another good point too is the Kurds. So the Kurds have

been making videos about the holding M4s, for example, and saying that they want to do stuff

because they have the cover of air support at the time, making those statements. Well, if there's a two weeks ceasefire, the regime might head west into Iranian Kurdistan and start being pretty violent against those people that made those videos, which they've done in the past, so they have already demonstrated they're willing to do that. When the Kurds stuff started popping up in the media and stuff like that, then they start, they shot like a couple of missiles and drones over

over there too, right? They fired into revealed, actually, around revealed and sent into Eastern, Eastern Kurdistan, inside Iraq, got a couple of bases and inside of Iran. It feels like, oh yeah,

no, it's come to like a, we're pausing. It does not seem like it seems like this is going to be pretty bad.

I want to know what's going on in Lindsey Graham's brain right now. He's got to be losing it. Anything else? I mean, I'm trying to, I'm like have so many screens open right now. I'm like dizzy. The one screen I'm watching is oil futures because that's the market, like absorbing the news and reacting to it, which is a very interesting thing to look at. Where's it at now that it go on there 100? Yeah, it's 95.07. So it's down 16% roughly. Wow.

I mean, you guys assume that's like the main reason we did this, not like Trump's worried about the

“Iranian civilians or even our servicemen. It seems like oh fuck. And you know what's going on?”

Again, it was after our after trading closed again. Yeah, every single time it's been after our straight. Yeah. Yeah, they were also pushing it yesterday to last night before. I'm sorry, early this morning or late last night talking about possible ceasefire and stuff like that. To kind of try and quiet the markets a little. And again, I don't know what stage capitalism this is, but it's a fucking weird one. But if you look at like after I was trading in Nasdaq, S&P and Dow,

they're all up over 2%. Right now, right now, which is like the biggest movement they've had upwards since February 20. Yeah. I mean, frankly, like I know the Iranians are taking this as a win, like the regime right now. They're like they're crawl and like they're spinning to spinning like crazy right now. But what I mean, do they really, they can't trust us right after what we've done the last couple of times with negotiations? Like we had a killer deal or close to it

and in that back again to that New York Times article, wick off and and Kushner was saying, like, oh, to get an actual deal is going to take months. Get no shit guys. It's a nuclear deal. Not a fucking lease for a deli at one of your buildings. You dumbfucks. You know, it's of course going to take months. How long did the JCPOA take? Right here. There you go. I mean, like these are serious issues that like have huge ramifications. It's not going to be like you're buying a new

shit mall and you can bang it out with your lawyers in a couple of days. Like unbelievable to me, like the level of like fuck this guy, Kushner, man, you are a liability. You can't get out clearance

“and he's sitting in the situation room. Like how was that allowed in this in this government?”

Well, in that situation, talking, you're discussing, which was like earlier before the war started, if you read who was in there, the OD and I director was not in there. And there were a couple of other individuals that you would think from the cabinet that should be in there, like treasury secretary secretary was not in there. Yeah. Scott Bessert wasn't in there. So, but was the energy guy, too, they mentioned, I think. But who was Caroline leave it? Was in there? The, the pressure

are like the press secretary. Yeah. Yeah. So, the actual decision makers weren't in there, but the media people were in there. Right. I had to make sure that's been right. Yeah. Yeah.

And I think they had the like the general council, which is like, I don't even know why that

position is even filled with this administration if we're being honest. Yeah. Well, they're just writing legal opinions that are exactly what they're told to, right? Right. Yeah. I mean, and if I'm the Pentagon, someone has to be thinking like, what's our pivot point here? How long do we keep these Marines soldiers, sailors, and airmen on station there? And if something pops off on the other side of the world, how quickly can we pivot? You know, like we've done the whole

boys and their toys, look what we got, look what we can do there. And now we've got this pause. So, hopefully someone is taking a beat and saying, okay, what is our pivot point? How long are we going to keep these kids on station trying to, you know, to hold this down? Yes, we have to keep somebody there

just in case, you know, this whole thing breaks. But that doesn't mean that something's not going

to pop off on the other side of the world. So, hopefully somebody's thinking about that.

“Unless you got the carrier strike group that's been deployed, I think 11 months now.”

That's see. Yeah. That's crazy. I think they're heading back home, right? They had the big fire in the, in the lodger room. I think they're in suit bay in, or suit bay in, uh, creed, getting repaired. Okay. And they let the guys go on liberty, which is nice that they got to go on liberty. But like they're still deployed. They're not home yet. And there weren't totally going 11 month deployment. They were told they go on a six month deployment. So, you know, like they got spouses and kids back home.

Some of them were their kids being born, while they're out about, you know, that's thousands of people deployed without any clue about what's coming next for them in their life. Now they're in creed, getting creed and girls knocked up. You know, just waiting around for the laundry room to get fixed. Uh, yeah. So they can use it. And then they say, yeah, didn't they say that it's going to take like almost two years to fix the actual fixed the the carrier? Wow. I didn't know.

“Yeah, they had like a range. It was like 12 to 36 months to get it back. It's like”

my, oh my, um, I'm trying to get Jack to come on. And he just sent something a screenshot from his phone. He's getting the areas on their hostile area. The right, please remain calm. Stay indoors or safe place away from the windows and doors and follow the instructions of civil defense.

It was in the yard. Me too. Yeah. What happened? The first two million dollar, uh,

toll check bounced probably. They couldn't get into the bank account because it's still sanctioned. Yeah. You're right. Yeah. Exactly. I'm going to drop. I guess. Yeah. I got to take off too. All right. Get out of here. Guys. I'll wrap it up. I'm a solo. Don't worry about it. I'll keep chatting with the chatters a little bit. All right. Folks. And they can continue to ruin our reputation. Yes. It's burning the whole thing down. Somebody's got to do it. Yeah. Yeah. Take care, Jins. I'm the

small guys. Let it get. Take care. John, see you. That was the boys. I'm trying to get Murphy on Jack Murphy on, but he's playing coal.

“I think I don't think he's home. It's pretty awesome. I get to do the show with these guys.”

Right? Like some jerk off like me. Sick. I'm trying to re-catch up on the chats. Guys, my bad. Yeah. So there's that ceasefire. Peace in our time, guys. And it's so annoying too because this thing is so many, so many screens. What else we got? Anything? I think we might wrap it up. I got nothing else to say. I'm spent. Creek in question mark a creek in girl from Creek is the aircraft carriers in

Creek on leave while it's getting repaired. So people from Creek, we call them Cretans. Yeah. I have friends from Creek. They're, they're a little cuckoo. They're definitely the cuckoo ones. Question for date. If thousands of Marines are there on station, does that mean they will? Do you deploy it? Isn't it true that the U.S. forces are on station? They get used? Yeah. I mean, I don't know. They're going to probably stay, you know,

sit around wherever they are. My guess is they're probably in the Gulf of Oman. The Mew. They're not in the Persian Gulf, no way. They're going to be sitting around for a couple of weeks to see this thing whether it falls apart or not. I mean, but yeah, we, you know, there's a, for the most part, Trump, whenever he builds up like military forces somewhere, he kind of uses them. So, frankly, I hope they don't do it. I hope they don't go after Carg Island or anywhere else

because think about it. If they're going to go take Carg Island to try and, let's say this should, let's say this should broke apart. They try going and, you know, they go back to fighting. They go back to Carg Island. They go take Carg Island. They're sitting there for weeks, probably, just taking incoming fire. Like, how is that good versus the PMF Interact? Do you think there

special ops and maybe CIA. Like, I don't think it's going to be real deal. I'm going to slowly

wrap up. I want you guys to do me a favor. Like and subscribe. If you're watching right now, hate that like share it, tell your friends. What's the best Greek diner in Brooklyn? I mean, diners are all diners, right? Like, I know the best Greek restaurant and that's the one that my family owns and it's called Avali Greek Kitchen on Smith Street. Go check it out. The best Greek food in Brooklyn. As far as diners go, there's a place where we have Bayeridge diners pretty good.

My bohomi used to own it. He just sold it. I mean, most diners fucking suck to be honest. But Bayeridge diner has like a step above like pretty quality diner food. I would go and check it out. Boys hate to like hate to like boys and girls. If there's like 3% of the girls that listen,

“they're on right now. Hate that like tell your boys, tell your homies. You know what I mean?”

I don't know what that is. Sorry. I'm stupid. A diner is basically like a call like you get eggs. You can get a burger. I mean diners in New York. And I'm sure a lot of places like in the America are it's just like a seven-page menu and you can get anything from like two eggs,

“breakfast to like you want to fill a soul. If fill a soul for some reason. That's what a diner is.”

At least here. It's like a coffee shop. Plus in Brooklyn now in New York. We don't really have those big ass diners as much anymore. It's like a small regular store like in a retail area. That's just like a coffee shop diner. Like we don't have those big ones with the big parking lots and stuff like that. We have one left in my neighborhood. But the ones that we at least have three. All diners are just Cisco sloppy. Not wrong about that, bro. You're not wrong about that. Don't get me going

with the restaurant business. Worst business in the human history. Also Cisco just bought restaurant depot, which is like a place where like a lot of most a lot of restaurants in Brooklyn and anywhere going by stuff. So it's just like Cisco's just gobbling up everything and they're like the fucking worst. Guys don't get me crazy. You're as a bringing up traumatic stuff from my past when I

“used to all in restaurants. It's not cool. Yeah, it's basically like a cat yeah, a food pad. It's”

plate. Yeah, a failure. It's funny too because some coffee shop diner places called themselves, you know, Jimmy's cafe and stuff and it's basically like just diner food. Maybe some of them will do like, uh, some of them will do like, um, desserts and stuff like that too. There are a lot of like different places. They're like amalgamations, jacks at a bar. All right, jacks out. All right, guys. Thanks for kicking. Hangin out for the live. Really appreciate it. Maybe we'll try and start doing

a little bit a couple more lives. Keep it like nice and loose, maybe. Okay, basically. Yeah, right, Jason's in your Jason also stuff. Also diner stay up in later sometimes 24 hours. Yeah, what happened here in New York especially? I mean, there's still some 24 hour diners, but a lot

of the 24 hour diners around me when COVID hit. They stopped being 24 and they never really

came back as 24 hours. My local Greek diner burned their diner down for insurance money to cover the debt on the bar they opened up. Yeah, that sounds like a totally plausible reason to do that. What I'd be lying to you if I told you when I own restaurants, I fantasize about burning them down and taking the money. Uh, yeah, I did. I didn't burn it down or anything. I should have.
