In this urgent episode of Dialogue Works, former CIA analyst Larry C. Johnson exposes the reality behind Iran’s successful breach of Israel’s advanced air defense systems — including the Iron Dome and David’s Sling 🇮🇷🔥🇮🇱. With precision-guided ballistic and cruise missiles, Iran has overwhelmed key Israeli sites, leaving critical infrastructure damaged and the IDF reeling.
As U.S. carrier strike groups reposition in the Persian Gulf and Washington ramps up troop readiness, America now stands on the brink of direct military involvement ⚠️🇺🇸. Johnson warns this is no longer proxy warfare — it’s a direct confrontation in the making.
This episode delivers strategic insight into the fragile balance of power, the failure of layered defenses, and the terrifying countdown to a possible global conflict.

00:00hi everybody today's friday june 20th 2025 and our friend larry johnson is back with us welcome
00:11back lad you know i keep trying to irritate you but you still call me a friend so what can i say
00:16you're a man of great patience
00:18larry let's get started with the situation in the middle east
00:27we had before coming up you mentioned that after the phone call between xi and milan putin something
00:34is happening in the middle east what are the latest changes that are happening in the middle east
00:39well i don't know if the uh so two chinese ships surveillance intelligence ships arrived and
00:45entered the persian gulf um i'm not sure if that happened uh you know coterminous with the phone
00:55call or if it came before or if it came you know after but uh and i think he can't really the the
01:02decision to put those ships in the persian gulf uh that was taken last week earlier this week
01:10because the chinese ships didn't just suddenly sell around you know magically appear there they had to
01:16be dispatched um i i think what we're seeing now is that while you know some of the public has suggested
01:25all iran and china don't care about this this is just between israel and and and iran and they're
01:32just going to stay out of it i i don't think that's the case at all in fact i think it's the exact
01:37opposite i think both china and russia see um iran as a as a linchpin of the brick strategy
01:50now you know i saw john helmer suggesting that oh you know they the the the russians in particular
01:58are looking at uh iran like they did at syria and if the government's internally too weak they're just
02:05going to throw up their hands and go away i i couldn't disagree more with him uh it's the exact
02:11opposite uh because creating this north south transport corridor as well as let's call it that
02:21the other extension of the belt and road initiative for china is to create alternative routes that are
02:29not under the control of the west this this entire process that's underway right now that
02:36we're living through but not all are comprehending is the breakup of the western empire the end
02:46of the unipolar control of the united states and the emergence of this i prefer chas friedman's
02:55uh expression multinodal multiple nodes that were no no one single node is the controlling
03:04power to dictate to others what must be done so to that extent this attack on iran
03:14doesn't have a damn thing to do about oh iran's trying to acquire a nuclear weapon it's an excuse
03:24it is a complete red herring and you know we uh you're too young to really remember uh maybe you
03:33do remember a little bit but the lead up to the goal to the war in 2003 in iraq you know 22 years ago
03:40uh so what you're about 18 then you know something like that uh chasing girls and studying instead of
03:49paying paying attention to international politics you know i could tell by the smile i'm right uh
03:55you know then we were told oh saddam's got these weapons of mass destruction but god we've got to stop
04:01and the whole world's at risk again it was just a complete load of crap it was a lie and it was it was
04:10done you know principally to get access to the oil and in part to you know follow through on this
04:16neocon plan backed by israel the zionists to dethrone these governments that were viewed as
04:24potentially hostile or not under the thumb of israel and so you know here here we are again
04:32uh going into this uh nonsense of trying to claim that or iran is just weeks away from getting a nuke
04:42you know you watched the video of bb netanyahu going back 30 years at least the earliest i saw it was
04:5195 but i was told that actually the first claim was made in 1984 they're gonna have a nuke in six
05:00weeks and in a month next week any day now and it doesn't happen um so it is an excuse to
05:12try to destroy the islamic republic and and this reflects this fundamental ignorance of the west
05:19about what the current iran is that it you know they perceive iran as this authoritarian state where
05:27uh instead of guys in nazi uniforms and walking around in in islamic cleric garb and they're any
05:35girl that has a piece of hair sticking out from under a hijab is getting beaten it's not true
05:41in fact you know iran is actually my understanding and then after having talked to uh talked or listened
05:51to you know pepe escobar max blumenthal and his wife alistair crook and his wife
05:57that the society has actually opened up remarkably i forgot who was describing that you know he was
06:04riding the subway and there were young couples making out on the subway in iran how dare they
06:11gee romance and passion who knew muslims were capable of it um you know so the united states is trying to
06:19destroy a mythical creature and demonizing iran and in the process underestimating iran's capacity to
06:28survive and punch back
06:30larry what can we learn from the latest interactions between israelis and the iranians it seems that
06:41we we've learned that israel received 14 weapon shipments from the united states and germany since
06:49the start of the war since they they started attacking iran what is the situation in israel in terms of their
06:58their air defenses no it's uh getting weaker by the day you know in the initial stages the initial
07:07you know true promise three response uh starting last friday um iran launched a variety number of
07:18missiles and part of the part of the tactic behind that is you flood the zone you force israel to use
07:27air defense missiles because every incoming object usually requires two three maybe you know upwards of
07:3410 uh missiles to try to bring it down uh israel does not have a productive a production capability
07:43industrial capability to produce what it what it uses up it relies upon the united states but what we've
07:53learned as a result of the war in ukraine the united states is uh run out of supplies as well we don't
08:00have large stockpiles we have limited stockpiles and the longer this barrage of missiles from iran into
08:11israel goes on uh that even i was even now noticing that fox news who has been god you know talk about
08:21kissing zionist ass and cheerleading all the way yeah raw raw israel raw you know that kind of nonsense
08:29even they were just doing the reports he's uh uh israel is running out of uh you know missiles to
08:36fire back at these iranian uh ballistic missiles oh my god and there's not a solution it's not a matter of
08:46like flipping a switch and some factories can start you know pushing them out one after the other
08:52they don't have the industrial capability and then it even gets more interesting because one of those
08:59critical ingredients is called antimony it goes into the explosive warhead oh where's that antimony
09:07come from oh that would be china and china has imposed restrictions on its export specifically to the united
09:16states and his uh i saw a report um there's there's a great youtube channel called inside china business
09:24i recommend it to people if they haven't watched it a fellow named kevin wamsley an american living
09:30in china but uh he gave a pretty detailed report the other day about chinese uh inspectors discovering
09:37the you know antimony and and other uh bismuth i think was the other element being smuggled trying to
09:46be smuggled out of china because western companies are desperate desperate to get it so united states is
09:52not in a position to resupply israel we've seen today that uh iran is firing fewer missiles now
10:02the the zionist uh true believers say oh great this is sure they're running out of missiles no they're
10:10not they don't have to fire as many because the air defense system doesn't really exist anymore
10:17and iran just about two hours ago just clobbered um an israeli defense military center those
10:29expertise it was built they have a school built above it but it's friday the kids aren't in school so
10:35they didn't kill any students and it was located right near the ministry of interior and the
10:40knesset so iran's delivering larger missiles that are more accurate but they don't have to worry as
10:48much about air defense now so uh they've got they've got a much much smaller target to hit
10:59if you look at the you know the size comparison between israel and iran i mean you know at least i
11:09think you know for the size of iran by virtue of having been born and raised there but iran is
11:16like 27 times the size of israel uh it's three times the size of ukraine if you look at how big
11:24ukraine is three times the size of that um and so what does that matter well if you're if you're israel
11:33you've got a finite number of missiles bombs planes you've got to find that number you don't have
11:40infinite and so the concept of finite is you got limit you got to pick and choose where you're going
11:46to hit well um this is like going to a restaurant where they got 50 pages of good of dishes that you
11:58want to eat no man trying to figure out where you know which one you want to pick uh you'll be there
12:02a long while trying to eat your way through that menu whereas israel from the from iran standpoint
12:10they're like a one-page chinese takeout menu you know they've got a finite number of targets in a
12:18tight area so iran doesn't have to spread itself out uh the the difference though is iran's firing
12:27ballistic missiles and i i've heard some in the west oh iran's running out oh yeah we're hearing
12:35that same same ridiculous story that we heard you know with respect to russia oh russia's running you
12:40know 20 april 2022 russia's running out of missiles any day now they can't keep this up well here here
12:47we are three and a half years later they're they're keeping it up no no problem um iran builds these
12:54missiles underground they're manufactured underground not above ground so you can't see
13:00you know something coming out of a fact out of a factory or warehouse store going to storage
13:09and count them i mean that's you know that's one way that intelligence works that you got an overhead
13:14camera and you can just record the film and count one two three four five six or they're you know put
13:20in an outdoor storage area and you can count them they're underground we don't to my knowledge don't
13:28have well there's what they call ground penetrating radar we don't have radar that can see through the
13:34ground into a storage facility located 100 meters below ground and say oh yeah there's one two three four
13:43so the reality is unless you have a human source that was part of that whole operation we don't have
13:53a clue how many missiles iran has but i would posit uh they they've been burying things underground now
14:02for more than 20 you know more than 20 years all i know is i worked on a military exercise 20 plus years
14:10ago and we were looking at the issue of how do you target and attack these underground uh facilities
14:17so they're building that up every year after year after year over 20 22 years
14:23i'm thinking they've got you know maybe tens of thousands of missiles some are old some are you know
14:34middle aged and some are new but uh it's not just a matter for is iran take get some out of storage
14:43and put some above ground and then that's the issue of the launchers uh israel reportedly has destroyed a
14:51number of the fixed launchers you know that are in place it's like cape canaveral you know where you'd
14:58always do the launches but a lot of the missiles uh particularly some of the newer ones that iran has
15:05made my my understanding are what they called the solid fuel rockets which means you don't have to
15:12have a gas truck come up or diesel truck come up alongside and fill her up so it can uh jet off
15:18no it's you know it's built in so this is um israel's got itself a problem because it can't
15:26sustain the rate of fire against iranian missiles and replace what is what it's firing
15:36and there's going to come a point here maybe as soon as next week where israel actually runs out
15:44and is completely vulnerable to then drone attacks because right now they're able still to detect and
15:50shoot down some drones um the west is scrambling this is you know so typical the uh the arrogance
15:59the hubris of these clowns in in israel that they they really thought they'd knock out iran in a day
16:05oh they're they're just a bunch of ragheads you know they're not like they're good like us
16:11you know that kind of nonsense now you remember when we were talking about the interceptors you said that
16:19at least they have to fire two interceptors to attack the missile coming in but we see videos coming
16:27out of israel shows 10 11 interceptors going out and hitting nothing yeah yeah i mean it's uh the the
16:37best one to get on to you know talk about uh you know the whole mechanics of that is uh andrei martianov
16:45you know andrei did a lot better in math class than i did okay so uh he he's uh he's got real
16:54expertise on that but no it's um the uh the israelis have become a little bit like baghdad bob or like
17:03the ukrainians oh we shot down 90 we shot no they didn't and and i don't know i i was particularly
17:12outraged yesterday with the chutzpah of uh netanyahu in that crowd they're crying crocodile tears because
17:22iran bombed a hospital oh iran didn't bomb a hospital they bombed a military facility near the hospital
17:31the blast wave yeah broke broke glass dislodged some tiles but didn't kill anybody whereas the israelis
17:41have blown up over 26 hospitals in gaza killed patients babies and it's not a matter of opinion
17:51we got the documented video evidence you know too much of it unfortunately so it's like you know
18:00listen it's the only good news is israel is now getting just a little little little tiny taste of
18:06its own medicine and it doesn't like it um they'd be better off and say let's let's stop the killing
18:14let's talk let's dispense with our idiotic bizarre zionist beliefs this demonic doctrine
18:25that somehow because you know you're in the lucky sperm club you're entitled to you know this chunk of
18:33land because somebody wrote it down 2800 years ago and said yeah well it was you know like ted cruz
18:41it says in the bible we gotta support israel it says no such thing but you know that that people
18:50believe that nonsense and you know for those uh faithful christians out there watching this who have
18:56been schooled in this uh deception and if you're mad at me i'm sorry but uh this whole blessed be israel
19:05bunk it's it's a bunch of crap it was written by israelis for israel or jews for jews and really it's a
19:14rejection of the actual values of judaism so it's uh i'd call it it's a jewish jewish heresy it's something
19:22that many uh orthodox ultra-orthodox jews ascribe to
19:26sorry it seems let me play a clip it shows an iranian missiles going to israel here is the
19:34see the way that it goes somehow i haven't seen before these images
19:44can you understand it seems that iran is somehow feeling that israel is somehow a
19:56a laboratory lab a laboratory experiment for the missiles they have they trying to do everything
20:02to see the effect they can cause on israel yeah well they've got a whole i i am i don't claim any
20:10special expertise and being a resource to explain to you the different sizes and types of missiles
20:18all i know is they have at least um just judging by what i've seen in in the museum at least 20 30
20:28varieties now some are older some are newer but uh iran has you know they've got a lot of good
20:37scientists seems to me that's sort of your field too you're you know you've got an engineering
20:43background um so you know i don't know what it is in the water in iran but they they were you know
20:51they create and grow a lot of smart people and so those smart people are engineers and scientists
20:57and you know they've developed a lot they have a lot yeah yeah they develop some great military
21:02technology um and in israel you know israel has diluted itself deceived itself over the years
21:12saying oh we're the best we're the greatest you know nobody can touch us they've never they have
21:17never fought a war against a country with iran's capability number one they have never fought a war
21:27this is now we're we're now in base the the longest war they fought previously you know the seven day
21:34war um six day war you know they they they're always in in week you know one week two week um what's
21:44been going on with hamas is unprecedented but you know hamas is restricted to you know carrying out
21:51guerrilla attacks ambushes then they still continue to do it they just uh did another hit today
21:57more israeli casualties coming out of gaza but iran is in a position that they're going to be they
22:07can keep launching these missiles for the foreseeable future
22:12and so let's let's just assume that this goes on that every day now an iranian 10 to 20 iranian
22:24missiles are going to hit military intelligence technology targets you know you saw that they
22:33blew up the weisman center which was used for nuclear research they hit the microsoft building
22:40and it was in beersheba i believe um they're hitting 82 unit 8200 headquarters buildings
22:48they keep that up over six months i i don't see how israel survives that it is simply um it's going
23:00to create so much chaos and uncertainty and it's here's israel um you know which i think actually
23:07heightens the risk that they may in a fit of desperation try to use a nuke and again a nuke
23:13it's going to kill and destroy a lot of people in one location uh iran's a big place and iran's
23:22got other capabilities to retaliate against that and you know what we've seen as well that iran's no
23:29longer in this alone they've got russia they've got china they got pakistan and the relationship
23:35between china and pakistan is important because here's pakistan pledging we'll give our nukes
23:41uh to to iran to use against uh israel if israel does that i remember when i talked with professor
23:50ted postal about the capability of air defense systems in ukraine he mentioned something which
23:57i think is important in what's going on in between iran and israel he said that these fighter jets are
24:04a very good target for the air defense systems they're literally nothing if they can if they
24:11go to the area that the air defense system can reach them they can hit them easily
24:17and it it seems that even with the air attacks on iran with the fighter jets israel would have to
24:28be outside of the iranian airspace in iraq and have i don't know in other countries to hit the targets
24:36in iran yeah i've i've been i've been listening to uh alexander mccuris i think he he has a pretty
24:43good grasp on it and and i i fully agree with ted and ted's another great expert uh on these
24:50i forgot to mention him there despite israeli claims that they're dropping bombs over targets
25:00in iran there have been there's been no video evidence of actually seeing the planes flying
25:08above there there have been drones um it appears that what israel is doing now is firing missiles
25:15from uh near the you know outside of iranian airspace but very close to the ass so that they're
25:21they're not really in good range of iranian air defense systems so that's um you know that that's an
25:33important indicator they they were flying you know the first you know 12 hours 24 hours because they
25:40had succeeded with uh cyber attack knocking out the air defense system and the ability to control it
25:48but it got back up and running real quick and it's uh i think it was pepe escobar was it on your show or
25:55one of the other interviews that uh the russians played a very big role in helping get that back
26:02online now uh going back to last october when uh israel attacked on october 27th and there were a lot of
26:12their missiles were shot down uh i had assumed at that point that russia was supplying iran with
26:22um air defense systems we've now learned from president putin speaking the other day to a
26:30group of uh foreign dignitaries um i don't know if they're on their way to speef the st petersburg
26:39international economic forum or not but he said look we actually wanted to sign a defense pack
26:46with with iran just like we have with north korea but iran didn't want to do that
26:53and and i i spoke with alistair yesterday and i just posted the interview with him at my channel
27:00countercurrents um and alistair said look here's what was going on and pezhashkian and sort of this
27:07moderate group of iranians they didn't want to get that deeply into bed with russia because they still
27:14wanted hey we still want to be friends with america you know we want to be yeah washington please like us
27:21and really foolishly naive well now they know now they they should they pezhashkian and company are
27:31understanding uh putin's made it very clear hey they want s-400s by god they'll get them
27:38and um you know some have been ridiculing or saying ah see the ron's not that great look at all the
27:47bombing strikes well iran's uh defense against incoming missiles is not you know it's not great
27:54either uh you know what don't want to pretend that they're um you know many israel's well no but
28:00what iran's facing from israel yeah yeah so um you know both israel and iran sort of suck at it
28:09right now to be candid um iran though looks like it's also sort of preparing to fight the united
28:18states because i i think they've pulled back some of their critical missile defense air defense systems
28:26and they're staging them because to attack fordo is that how you pronounce it fordo fordo that's right
28:35yeah okay good thank you thank you language you're good yeah um they're gonna have to fly b2 bombers
28:43over it um in the united states oh nobody can target nobody can find us they won't see us we're invisible
28:49and maybe they're not so you're gonna you're gonna see um possibility if if trump goes ahead with this
28:57attack and i and i think he will unfortunately um because the situation here in the united states is just
29:05crazy the the insanity that it sees people but uh those p2 bombers get above fordo uh and iran takes
29:15down one game changer because all of a sudden now the united states will have been shown
29:22you're not invincible you're really limited what you can do
29:27larry in the mainstream media they're talking about fox news reported that mystery flights
29:33from china to iran a raising concern for the united states are they making the rhetoric or there is
29:42something to it well there are there are chinese flights uh it could be that the chinese are
29:50flying in to pick up chinese nationals that are in iran to get him out of there because they're
29:55worried about their safety that's possible but they also could be resupplying iran
30:01you know the uh i don't i do not believe that over the last seven years that russia and china when
30:08they were conducting joint military exercises with iran
30:11we're just doing that because they had nothing better to do damn i'm bored but
30:16let's go play with those iranians you know we don't really care about them but let's go
30:21no they were creating military ties relationships and planning for contingencies
30:28which i think is one of the reasons those two chinese ships showed up in the persian gulf
30:32okay and they're they collect they're going to collect intercept information about incoming attacks
30:41from both israel and the united states they can actually guide a missile to a location
30:47they have a you know enormous capabilities to collect intelligence so
30:54right there china sending a word to the west you know they're not making an open declaration that's
31:00not the chinese way but they've walked into the room and they've set up uh you know the the sense
31:08they've unpacked their guns and loaded them and they're sitting there sitting guard
31:13and so the west better pay attention and russia's doing the same thing
31:18they may you remember when the conflict in ukraine started china came out said we are condemning these
31:29attacks and no no not somehow it was playing somehow that nobody would perceive that they're helping russia
31:37they're doing whatever they were doing in those days they're not accustomed to talk about what they're
31:44doing there's right right yeah no they're uh you know the the stereotype is what they call the
31:52inscrutable chinese you never know what they're thinking you know the you know in the west or the
31:58racist stereotyping goes on oh they're they're devious yeah now they just have good common sense and
32:05know when to talk and when not to talk you know you know that's the thing so we're um
32:14we don't have i think a good grasp on the full scope of cooperation and conversation going on between
32:21or among uh the chinese and russians with the iranians but as i said at the outset this is
32:28iran is a critical linchpin economically both for china and for russia in terms of breaking free
32:38of western domination of the global economy
32:42neither china nor russia i believe are seeking a confrontation with the united states despite
32:48united states claims to the contrary they would like to have normal economic diplomatic interactions
32:56but uh you know it's the west that's refusing to do that um you know our we've had what i call sort
33:08of a false friendship especially with china because you know go back to 50 years ago when richard nixon
33:16opened up relationships with china it was all done for the cynical purpose of trying to weaken russia
33:22and you know to undercut the soviet union well now china's all grown up and they've they're the largest
33:30industrial power in the world i came across this a little off topic but it just it shows you the state
33:37of the world uh do you know how long it takes to build um an f-35 jet fighter
33:45no idea 18 to 24 months okay year and a half to two years in world war ii the united states built a b-24
33:59liberator bomber it was a big bomber how long do you think it took them to build that
34:05no take a guess come on make this fun it's a week want 63 minutes wow and to fully assemble it it took
34:2118 to 24 hours that's what's that's the difference between the united states today
34:30and the united states then china is building ships at a rate that exceeds anything the united states did
34:41during world war ii and since so it china's become this industrial power and yet again i can't tell you
34:51the number of americans that think oh she's going to be overthrown and the chinese are a bunch of
34:57communists and that we we we can't just accept them for what they are you know and and recognize
35:08china is doing things technologically that are light years ahead of the united states
35:15you go and go to shanghai you can get into a cab that doesn't have a cab driver it's just like that
35:21arnold schwarzenegger movie you know where where he went to ended up going to mars but as part of it
35:28you know the johnny cab and some you know robot drives up and hop and he hops in the cab china's
35:34doing that for real you can't go to new york go to los angeles san francisco or the most modern city
35:41supposedly in the united states you know you can't get that so you know the united states just needs to wake up
35:51larry the mainstream media sean hannady was talking about how they can get a deal with iran
35:58here is what he said i want to show how detached these people are from the reality of what's going on
36:04here is what they said long-range missiles and frankly any missile that has a range to hit any
36:11american target in the region i think that would be a fair deal considering they have no leverage
36:16and their backs against the wall because the israelis have kicked their ass yeah man those israelis
36:23they've kicked their ass watch uh who's spending more time in bomb shelters this week oh that would
36:29be the israelis not the iranians you know hannity is again he's the symptom of the disease that
36:36infects america uh i hope you saw the the you got a chance to watch tucker carlson's entire interview
36:45with ted cruz yeah destroyed destroyed i said tucker a message i said man think of all the trout that
36:55you have filleted in the years that you've caught fish and eaten them i said even those fish are
37:01standing up and applauding you for just skinning cruz alive like you did but it but it exposed it exposed
37:09an important reality that you know when i talk about how the religious extremism in the united states
37:18this nonsense that god gave israel to the jews and nobody else can have it they can kill anybody
37:27they want because god said they could you know if that's your interpretation of scripture i don't want
37:34any part of your deity i don't want any part of your god because i think it's demonic i think it's evil
37:41because what you've got going on is a death cult in israel and it and they they claim to celebrate life
37:53but just right you know they kill children without a moment of regret the zionists now you know this is
38:02uh again i draw the line between that and judaism uh because the true judaism actually is a
38:10promotes a humanity and and and respect for life but not these clowns so people like hannity embrace
38:19that that tom cotton who is the senator from arkansas sitting there bobbleheading along with him and
38:26you know iran is a sovereign state it's not going to give up its sovereignty and it's going to defend
38:35itself and the united states is in no position to defeat it uh you know we can't do it from the air
38:44now yeah could we wipe out iran by saturating it with nuclear weapons oh sure we could do that and if we
38:51did that united states would be toasted in a heartbeat as well because russia and china will not
38:56sit by and let that happen because they know if they do they're next that's the point uh so the united
39:05states is right now caught in a irrational war fever the good news is it has split the base
39:13uh because uh because people like candace owens uh charlie kirk most surprisingly um even jack
39:21posobiak to an extent and you got tucker carlson we had matt gates yeah matt and matt gates has been
39:28particularly uh on point on this and the the um the polling data shows that uh people 50 and under
39:40are not buying into the israeli lies it's it's people my age you know 60 and older uh unfortunately
39:52good but my generation as i said before we were raised on the exodus myth you know paul newman
39:59uh and it's you know saving saving the jews from the holocaust against the nasty arabs you know that was
40:06that was the theme we're raised with they want to do larry look at the behavior of the united states
40:13israelis the positions of iran outside of iran they're doing everything to do so-called regime
40:21changing iran today i don't know if you saw the videos coming out of iran it's not just the base
40:27of the government the people who are close to ideologically close to the government everybody's
40:33coming out yeah yeah yeah this is uh look the united states has been engaged with this mission
40:41of regime change around the world since 1948 since the creation of the cia and the first initial
40:49target on that was the soviet union and then it spread and you know iran got targeted with it in 1953
40:57with the removal of mossadeh by i think kermit roosevelt you know like a son or of a teddy
41:06roosevelt was directly it was a mastermind of all that so the united states has been interfering and
41:13overthrowing governments right and left for my entire life you know well over 70 years and it hasn't
41:21made the world safer it hasn't made the world richer uh it's brought you know so much death and
41:28destruction and i really i am so fundamentally opposed to it that um just just to assume this
41:39moral superiority that we can go out and dictate to the rest of the world what their government should
41:44be like and who should be in charge not our business take you know i better have my own house in order
41:56and before i go out lecturing other people on how to arrange their households
42:01many people are speculating as you've mentioned you feel that the
42:04the united states finally attacked may attack your own you feel that that would be the case
42:09here is what white house said the about the attack on your own situation in iran i know there has been
42:17a lot of speculation amongst all of you in the media regarding the president's decision making
42:22and whether or not the united states will be directly involved in light of that news i have a message
42:27directly from the president and i quote based on the fact that there's a substantial chance of
42:32negotiations that may or may not take place with iran in the near future i will make my decision
42:38whether or not to go within the next two weeks that's a quote directly from the president for all
42:44of you today so we'll kick it off for questions here in our new mediacy we have eli lake from yeah just to
42:51just to remember he's she said within the next two weeks he said yeah after two weeks he's gonna decide
43:02and it seems that any moment he can decide about going and bombing iran yeah yeah it could happen
43:08this weekend it could happen today um yeah you know you're absolutely right and look here's what's so
43:16stupid about trump's approach to this um if he genuinely believes that iran is on the cusp of getting a nuclear weapon
43:28then he needs to go to congress and get a congressional vote to allow him to use military force overseas
43:38if he does this on his own
43:42and it goes sour which i think it is likely to do
43:47that he instead of you know a quick in and out it's going to get him bogged down and they're going
43:51to be american bodies coming home losing a b2 maybe losing an aircraft carrier
43:56he's gonna he's gonna look like a a complete fool and he'll be blamed and he won't have anywhere to
44:06hide because he didn't get congressional support for it at least if you get the you know i invite
44:13actually i have no doubt that most of congress would support him in this that's how crazy they are
44:18and so if if he had that congressional vote then you know we're even more dangerous at that point
44:25however he would not be as much on the hook so he's really he's really exposing himself
44:31uh the only the only thing that may ultimately prevent him from doing this is enough of these
44:37people like tucker carlson candace owens charlie kirk who have been really key supporters of his
44:44get the message to him so mr president if you do this you're going to lose a lot of voters i know
44:50that for a fact i spoke to a group of the lake of what they call the lakewood ranch republican club
44:56which is manatee county um and this is one of the reddest pro-trump areas in the united states
45:07and the number of people that came up to me afterwards was surprising and people who were prominent one
45:14one in particular who was the manager for the trump campaign in this county
45:21and they were expressing alarm at trump attacking iran so when you've got that level of concern among
45:28the ardent supporters you know you know trump's doing something really wrong most of the weather
45:35and theory of the war in iraq and afghanistan they're totally against donald trump and it doesn't
45:43matter from republican democrats they're as time goes by they're getting more vocal about what's
45:50going on with the trump administration do you feel that these veterans are important donald trump
45:57he always talking about veterans how important they are and how he cares about them is that a matter for
46:04them for them for him well i i haven't seen um i haven't seen a lot of veteran groups coming out
46:11in in opposition and that maybe just i haven't been able to read what you've been able to see
46:17i would know though you got people like tom cotton he's a veteran he's all down with doing this
46:23um you know hegseth is a hegseth is the more interesting character because there are rumors that
46:29hegseth and tulsi gabbard are being cut out of the decision making of
46:33it's like you've cut your secretary of defense out of this loop are you crazy
46:38um the uh and and the chaos in the intelligence community that's now generated
46:45so what people need to understand is when tulsi gabbard sat down in march before congress and
46:51testified and said the the intelligence community does not believe that iran's position about
46:57acquiring a nuclear weapon has changed that they it's against their religion they're not doing it
47:02that wasn't her opinion and and she didn't just sit down and talk to a couple what do you guys
47:08think oh yeah we'll write that down and then go out and say it no this was the judgment of
47:14the cia analysts the defense intelligence analysts we're talking senior analysts and their managers
47:21state department bureau of intelligence and research national security agency analysts and
47:27uh the national geospatial intelligence agency and nga they come together or they you know get over
47:36email change secure telephone calls and they either agree or they disagree and you could have had a
47:44situation where three of the agencies were four of the agencies were saying oh yeah we don't think
47:49they are and one like cia said oh hell no we think they are then you would present it as well the
47:56majority of the community believes this this other the central intelligence agency believes the opposite
48:04you know so that's how these judgments come up well tulsi issued that judgment in march if that
48:10judgment has changed from march till now instead of donald trump said i don't care what she thinks which
48:16he did you know and what a dumb ass thing to say he should have said well we're going to reconvene
48:24the intelligence community and see if they have any updates now one of my friends speculated that maybe
48:33israel provided us intelligence and proof oh i wouldn't trust anything that israel gives us nothing
48:40so that that's understand that the intelligence community is still i don't think it's changed
48:46this position i don't think there's any reason to change the position um they're being lied to or misled
48:54iranian foreign minister arrived in vienna larry to talk with germany france and the united kingdom
49:01i was wondering what would be the outcome what would be the policy of donald trump is he capable
49:10of doing diplomacy is he capable of talking with other nations with other countries because look at
49:16ukraine he started the way he started right now he left the situation in ukraine in the hand of
49:22zelensky to negotiate with russians which we know it's not zelensky the europeans are running the show and
49:29they're forcing maybe the united kingdom is running the show with the zelensky administration yeah yeah
49:34to negotiate with russia he do he's doing the same with the case of iran where is the united states
49:41no that's uh it's a disaster we have we have no effective diplomacy you know this donald trump could
49:49have a deal in a heartbeat that he could have you know he would have been ridiculed as doing jcpoa too
49:54but the fact of the matter is he could have come out and said we've got a firm commitment
49:59from iran to uh um not build a nuclear weapon we've got inspectors on scene while they will
50:07are allowed to continue to do peaceful enrichment uh they will not engage we've got further assurances
50:13that they will not engage in anything 60 percent and above and uh you know that could have been
50:21celebrated instead there you know they want to you can't you can't do any enrichment whatsoever and
50:28you've got to give up your ballistic missiles iran's not going to do that and and in light of this
50:34surprise pearl harbor attack pearl harbor style attack by israel on uh on iran
50:43the i don't see them backing down or backing away there's going to have to be a surrender by israel in
50:49fact so they're talking about larry they're talking about that if the united states attacks iran they're
50:57going to use tactical nuclear bombs it's not coming out of the united states it's british media is just
51:04trying to spread this sort of rhetoric what is your take on that is the united states going to use
51:11tactical nuclear weapon in iran if so what would be the outcome of this this sort of action on their
51:22part yeah well i think it's unlikely but i can't rule it out and if if they if they cross that nuclear
51:28red line china and russia will then be involved in this as a war because they see the united states
51:34now has reached all international agreements this is this is an unjustified and warranted attack on iran
51:43and you know that's why up to this point iran has not hit any u.s military targets in the middle east
51:48even though the united states has been aiding israel just because they don't want to give the united states
51:54a pretext to attack if they want the russia and china council you're going to have to take the first
52:02blow but if you take the first blow then they are under international law they're the criminals they're
52:10culpable so that's that's the other game being played here unfortunately it's not not for entertainment
52:18yeah before wrapping up larry do you see the possibility of a false flag operation
52:22yes yes oh yeah absolutely yeah the don't rule that out that a u.s ship was attacked to the
52:31persian gulf and therefore we have to respond yeah absolutely yeah thank you so much larry for being
52:39with us today all right my friend i'm still we're still friends right more than before all right that's
52:47good then i'll see you on monday i hope see you soon larry all right my friend take care take care
