You've been running simulations on a war
00:00:01
with Iran.
00:00:02
>> Yep. Every strategy for 20 years and
00:00:04
it's playing out right now. So I can
00:00:06
tell you that we are losing control of
00:00:09
the situation. Like we don't know where
00:00:12
that nuclear material is, but they have
00:00:14
the material for 16 nuclear bombs and
00:00:18
we've given them every incentive to
00:00:20
develop them.
00:00:21
>> Professor Robert Pap might be the single
00:00:23
most important credible person we all
00:00:26
need to listen to right now. The Supreme
00:00:28
Leader that we took out was against
00:00:30
nuclear weapons. The new Supreme Leader,
00:00:32
and he's way more aggressive.
00:00:34
>> He's advised two decades of presidents
00:00:36
in the White House. President Trump is
00:00:38
really stuck, but he thrives in chaos
00:00:41
>> and spent 30 years building the
00:00:43
curriculum that trains the Air Force for
00:00:45
the exact type of war that's taking
00:00:47
place now in Iran. And one of the most
00:00:49
mind-blowing things I've learned is that
00:00:50
there are three stages to this conflict.
00:00:54
Unfortunately, Professor Robert Pape,
00:00:56
who has two decades of being correct
00:00:58
with his predictions, gives a 75%
00:01:01
chance that Trump is about to escalate
00:01:04
to stage three. In this episode, we're
00:01:06
going to explain exactly what this
00:01:08
means.
