There are probably 2,000 people in the Defense Department who are better than Pete Hegseth
The New Leadership in Iran is better than the Older Generation
Summary: The US killed off the Iranian gerontocracy and the new generation of Iranian leadership is smarter and more capable.
what that’s why it didn’t happen. And again with the result of killing all these top uh leaders, what they’ve done
8:22
is revitalize the Iranian government actually. Um which is I think what they didn’t want. It was really sort of a decaying gerontocracy and I think
8:30
Ayatollah Kame knew that and they probably just left himself out to be to be martyed. Uh and you know look the
8:38
reality is anyone who’s worked in a bureaucracy knows that DoD there’s probably 2,000 people who are better equipped to be the secretary of defense
8:46
than Pete Hegseth and State Department there’s probably a thousand people who are better than Marco Rubio. So literally when people say oh now there’s the B team or the C team or the D team.
8:56
actually they’re better people. They’re younger. They’re uh smarter. And I don’t know that that’s what the United States wanted because now they’re really dealing with an adversary. So, you know,
9:05
it’s just like the misinformation from the media and the government is just crazy. Like there were zero refugees,
9:12
right? You imagine 33,000 31 provinces in the country. Nobody left the country. All the borders are open.
9:19
Iranians don’t need a visa to Armenia. They’re great allies. Turkey, no visa.
9:25
you could cross anytime. All the borders remained basically during the bombing, they remained uh normal. Uh you know,
9:31
there’s truck traffic and then people going on vacation. Uh and I talked to plenty of them. I was on all the borders and uh there was nobody who said, you
9:39
know, there’s some giant revolution about to occur in Iran.
9:43
9 minutes, 43 seconds
Uh so last night on uh Emily’s uh Megan Kelly Network program, there was a really fascinating um call-in from an
9:51
American uh responding to Trump’s war in Iran. I wanted to play that and get your get your thoughts on it.
