00:00 - 00:06 Did President Trump just start World War 00:03 - 00:07 III? That is a provocative idea, but I 00:06 - 00:10 got to tell you, it's not that 00:07 - 00:12 far-fetched. The big problem with what 00:10 - 00:14 we're dealing with with this campaign in 00:12 - 00:15 Iran, this conflict, everything other 00:14 - 00:19 than a war, even though that's exactly 00:15 - 00:22 what he called it, is that there are so 00:19 - 00:24 many potential eventualities 00:22 - 00:26 that you have to consider. They're not 00:24 - 00:29 possibilities, they're probabilities. 00:26 - 00:32 And that's why there's so much suspicion 00:29 - 00:36 and concern around why the president did 00:32 - 00:40 this, when he did, how he did, and why 00:36 - 00:41 he did. Because there are a few moves 00:40 - 00:44 that once you see them, and I'll lay 00:41 - 00:48 them out for you, this is not just a 00:44 - 00:51 slippery slope. This is a sheet of ice, 00:48 - 00:54 especially because of how it started. 00:51 - 01:00 especially because of what the president 00:54 - 01:02 didn't do that now is really coming home 01:00 - 01:06 to roost in a way that you and I have 01:02 - 01:08 never seen in our lifetime. What are 01:06 - 01:11 those things? How could it go? That's 01:08 - 01:15 not just some BS conspiracy. 01:11 - 01:17 This is a connect the dots scenario 01:15 - 01:20 based on facts and circumstances that 01:17 - 01:23 are in play right now, have been in the 01:20 - 01:25 past and threatened to in the future. 01:23 - 01:26 The idea that you just get in and out in 01:25 - 01:28 Iran 01:26 - 01:31 and it's as simple as that on our 01:28 - 01:34 timetable when we say so when he feels 01:31 - 01:38 it in his gut is foolishness and I can 01:34 - 01:38 prove it. 01:42 - 01:46 Chris Cuomo here. Welcome to the Chris 01:44 - 01:48 Cuomo Project. Thank you for subscribing 01:46 - 01:49 and following, checking us out on 01:48 - 01:51 YouTube, and looking for the 01:49 - 01:53 subscription that works for you. Come on 01:51 - 01:56 over from Substack. Substack's done for 01:53 - 01:59 me. I'm not a writer, okay? I'm a visual 01:56 - 02:01 guy. And there will be more opportunity 01:59 - 02:03 for us to get together and do things 02:01 - 02:06 together on YouTube. Check out the 02:03 - 02:08 subscriber bases there. Okay? Now, let 02:06 - 02:10 me give you reason why it's worth 02:08 - 02:12 subscribing. Let me give you some brain 02:10 - 02:14 food as a critical thinker because this 02:12 - 02:16 is why I sell the merch, right? To brand 02:14 - 02:18 yourself, to wear your independence, to 02:16 - 02:21 show you're a free agent. Here's how it 02:18 - 02:24 works. One, 02:21 - 02:26 the obvious reason that doing what the 02:24 - 02:28 president just did in Iran, and let's 02:26 - 02:32 give him his best argument, by the way, 02:28 - 02:34 okay? Iran is a threat. They were making 02:32 - 02:36 missiles to defend their nukes. They're 02:34 - 02:37 working on getting nukes because Obama's 02:36 - 02:39 deal with all those other countries that 02:37 - 02:41 went into it and all that negotiation 02:39 - 02:43 that a big part of the world leaders 02:41 - 02:47 thought was a good idea was actually a 02:43 - 02:48 poo poo agreement that had Iran get a 02:47 - 02:51 bunch of money and a bunch of 02:48 - 02:54 opportunity to skirt any kind of 02:51 - 02:56 safeguards and even though we bombed and 02:54 - 02:58 obliterated their program as the 02:56 - 03:01 president told us turns it out was 02:58 - 03:05 obliterated for a few months which is of 03:01 - 03:07 course puppycock But I got to tell you, 03:05 - 03:10 bad in the inception, bad in the 03:07 - 03:11 execution, bad in the eventualities. 03:10 - 03:13 That's what we're dealing with. They 03:11 - 03:16 didn't get it right the last time. But 03:13 - 03:19 even if you want to say Obama screwed it 03:16 - 03:21 up, had to be strong. Iran is playing 03:19 - 03:22 games. They're exporting terror. They're 03:21 - 03:24 behind Hamas. They're behind the 03:22 - 03:26 Houthis. They're behind Hezbollah. 03:24 - 03:28 They're behind domestic terror here in 03:26 - 03:31 America. Uh they've hurt us before. 03:28 - 03:34 They're killing us online. 03:31 - 03:36 Had to do it. That's his best argument. 03:34 - 03:38 Had to do it now. Doing it. Death from 03:36 - 03:41 above. We'll keep the casualties really 03:38 - 03:42 low, short in duration. Israel is doing 03:41 - 03:45 a lot of it. They're going to fight 03:42 - 03:48 Hezbollah and Lebanon. And that's why I 03:45 - 03:53 did it because someone had to. And 03:48 - 03:56 they're bad. Period. Okay. Is it true? A 03:53 - 03:58 lot of that is true. Yeah. The regime is 03:56 - 04:01 bad. Exporting terror, all those 03:58 - 04:03 proxies, bad online, offline. True. 04:01 - 04:04 True. 04:03 - 04:06 So why now? Why didn't he do it last 04:04 - 04:08 time? Why Why didn't he do it the last 04:06 - 04:10 time he bombed? I don't know. That 04:08 - 04:11 That's a good question. Do I think 04:10 - 04:13 there's only one reason that he did 04:11 - 04:15 this? No. And do I think if there were 04:13 - 04:18 one reason, would it be that Israel made 04:15 - 04:20 him? No. I don't buy it. And look, I 04:18 - 04:23 have plenty of problems with how Israel 04:20 - 04:26 has conducted itself in Gaza, what it's 04:23 - 04:28 doing in Lebanon, which is an untold 04:26 - 04:31 story. Uh that we are going to live in 04:28 - 04:34 blood and circumstance for months to 04:31 - 04:36 come. Uh but that doesn't make me 04:34 - 04:38 anti-ionist or anti-semitic. It makes me 04:36 - 04:41 anti-certain policy decisions. And 04:38 - 04:45 that's fine. That's fine. Plenty of room 04:41 - 04:49 for criticism of all sides. But 04:45 - 04:50 the idea that Iran and what America is 04:49 - 04:53 doing is just about them and not about 04:50 - 04:56 us, not about distracting us from 04:53 - 04:58 Epstein, from affordability, from all 04:56 - 04:59 these different issues that are going on 04:58 - 05:02 here domestically that the president 04:59 - 05:04 can't seem to solve. This he can do by 05:02 - 05:06 himself without Congress. It looks 05:04 - 05:08 strong in his mind and the base is 05:06 - 05:10 rewarding him even though you voted for 05:08 - 05:13 the opposite of this. Welcome to stupid 05:10 - 05:15 party politics and fringe politics and 05:13 - 05:17 the battle to the bottom of this binary 05:15 - 05:19 BS that we're stuck in with these 05:17 - 05:21 parties. 05:19 - 05:22 And it worked. We're not talking about 05:21 - 05:24 Epstein. We're not talking about 05:22 - 05:27 affordability. Little gas and groceries. 05:24 - 05:30 He shoes it away. 05:27 - 05:34 So it worked for now. But where does it 05:30 - 05:36 lead? First layer, 05:34 - 05:39 you're provoking the Islamists. 05:36 - 05:42 And that region is rife with 05:39 - 05:44 instability. Look, we know this is true 05:42 - 05:46 because as soon as you hit Iran, what 05:44 - 05:48 happened? Hezbollah, which had really 05:46 - 05:51 gotten crushed a year ago, much more 05:48 - 05:54 than the Iranian nuclear program, they 05:51 - 05:57 signed a deal to disarm. America was 05:54 - 06:00 helping that be executed up until this. 05:57 - 06:04 Now, they have gone allin against Israel 06:00 - 06:07 in a way we have not seen in many, many 06:04 - 06:09 years. They ran away a year ago. Now 06:07 - 06:12 they're running toward the border. Okay. 06:09 - 06:15 Uh they are dumping rockets right where 06:12 - 06:19 I was standing by the dozens and they 06:15 - 06:22 have a lot of munitions that can reach 06:19 - 06:24 all of Israel unlike Hamas. Hezbollah is 06:22 - 06:27 the largest terror organization in the 06:24 - 06:29 region. And guess what else they do? Uh 06:27 - 06:32 they talk to the brothers and sisters of 06:29 - 06:33 terror in the stands. 06:32 - 06:35 We don't know what's going to happen in 06:33 - 06:36 Syria. New regime. America's being 06:35 - 06:38 friendly to them, but they're a bunch of 06:36 - 06:42 former jihadis. 06:38 - 06:45 Indonesia, North Africa, the Sudan, 06:42 - 06:47 there are all these Islamist 06:45 - 06:49 uh pods in all of these places, not 06:47 - 06:51 sleeper cells. And by the way, sleeper 06:49 - 06:53 cell not a thing to the intelligence 06:51 - 06:56 community. It's some kind of media 06:53 - 06:57 political uh thing. It's not a thing for 06:56 - 06:59 intelligence people. They don't deal 06:57 - 07:01 with sleeper cells. They don't even 06:59 - 07:03 believe in it. They don't even like the 07:01 - 07:06 vernacular. Anyway, little food for 07:03 - 07:07 thought, but we see them speaking out, 07:06 - 07:10 putting out videos saying, "That's it. 07:07 - 07:13 You want jihad, let's do jihad." 07:10 - 07:15 And now you've got the region showing 07:13 - 07:17 its vulnerability to the jihadis, right? 07:15 - 07:19 Cuz the Emirates, they got nothing. 07:17 - 07:22 They're getting pelted with rockets from 07:19 - 07:24 Iran. All they have to do is complain. 07:22 - 07:27 What does that do to our alliance? So, 07:24 - 07:28 you're provoking those Islamists. You 07:27 - 07:31 start taking them all on, what do you 07:28 - 07:35 got? World War II. That's what you've 07:31 - 07:37 got. Okay. Why 07:35 - 07:40 you go after the Islamists and you think 07:37 - 07:41 it's just about the war on terror again? 07:40 - 07:42 Even though I don't know how you fight 07:41 - 07:44 an idea. I got to tell you, the only way 07:42 - 07:47 you beat an idea is with a better idea. 07:44 - 07:51 And we haven't seen that yet. Arab 07:47 - 07:52 Spring, Afghanistan, Iraq, North Africa. 07:51 - 07:54 Nobody's replacing it with something 07:52 - 07:56 that is demonstrabably better than what 07:54 - 07:58 was there before we spent all the blood 07:56 - 08:00 and treasure on it. So stability is like 07:58 - 08:02 a relative term. Change is a relative 08:00 - 08:05 term. Look at the choke points. The 08:02 - 08:07 straight of hormuz has introduced a new 08:05 - 08:10 front in the war on terror that could 08:07 - 08:13 absolutely lead to escalation. How? 08:10 - 08:14 Well, even if America says it had 08:13 - 08:15 planned for this and it's not surprised 08:14 - 08:19 by what's happening in the straight of 08:15 - 08:21 Hormuz sure has been effective and if 08:19 - 08:22 they're so degraded 08:21 - 08:25 the regime, what does that tell you 08:22 - 08:28 about how little it takes to do a lot of 08:25 - 08:30 chaos? Not so much. Right. And by the 08:28 - 08:34 way, I've seen the drones that they're 08:30 - 08:37 using literally in my hand. They are 08:34 - 08:39 crap. They are like weed whacker engines 08:37 - 08:43 with like model airplanes. And they can 08:39 - 08:45 drop a payload that we have to use um 08:43 - 08:46 munitions that are worth hundreds of 08:45 - 08:49 thousands, if not millions of dollars to 08:46 - 08:52 shoot down one cheap drone. And they 08:49 - 08:54 have a gazillion of them. And they can 08:52 - 08:57 drop mines and other things. So they can 08:54 - 08:59 do it cheap, they can do it with little. 08:57 - 09:02 and cause a lot of trouble. And now the 08:59 - 09:05 Strait of Hormuz has opened up choke 09:02 - 09:09 points that can be easily compromised in 09:05 - 09:13 a way that will make trade hard and will 09:09 - 09:15 make people like insurers and shippers 09:13 - 09:17 skittish because of what happened in the 09:15 - 09:19 Straight of Hormuz. Like what? How many 09:17 - 09:22 places are there like that? about half a 09:19 - 09:26 dozen all over the world that can 09:22 - 09:28 similarly be used as choke points of 09:26 - 09:34 doing an outsized damage to commerce 09:28 - 09:36 like what Suez Canal Suez Canal main 10% 09:34 - 09:39 of global trade goes through the Suez 09:36 - 09:42 Canal also just as easy to attack with 09:39 - 09:46 pinch points in that region of the world 09:42 - 09:48 uh the uh Babal Mandelo whatever they 09:46 - 09:50 call it which is linking 09:48 - 09:52 the Indian Ocean to the Suez Canal. 09:50 - 09:55 That's another little choke point where 09:52 - 09:57 terrorists could be very effective. 09:55 - 09:59 Um, you know, you you got that point 09:57 - 10:01 right along the Bosphorus where they 09:59 - 10:03 feed into it. Again, small you the 10:01 - 10:05 Panama Canal, another part of the globe, 10:03 - 10:06 but same issue. And well, that doesn't 10:05 - 10:09 have anything to do with this, Chris. 10:06 - 10:12 You're overextending it. Am I? Am I? 10:09 - 10:15 Tell that uh to the pissed-off people 10:12 - 10:18 from the regime in Venezuela 10:15 - 10:20 and the rebels down there and the nent 10:18 - 10:21 Islamists, but more importantly, the 10:20 - 10:24 anti-American 10:21 - 10:27 rebels that exist down there, the 10:24 - 10:27 gorillas, guerr. 10:32 - 10:36 That's where gorilla comes from. Uh it's 10:34 - 10:39 not from the animal. It's another little 10:36 - 10:42 piece of information there for you. But 10:39 - 10:44 the Malaca straits, all of those can be 10:42 - 10:47 compromised the same way the straight of 10:44 - 10:50 Hormuz is actually even more easily. 10:47 - 10:52 Okay? So now you get escalation. Now you 10:50 - 10:53 get this reverberating all over the 10:52 - 10:55 world. 10:53 - 10:59 You see what I'm saying? This is very 10:55 - 11:00 easy mission creep here. Now you get to 10:59 - 11:02 the next level. You're like, "Oh boy, 11:00 - 11:03 that that's that's a little tortured. I 11:02 - 11:05 don't know. We've never seen that 11:03 - 11:09 before." Really?

That's 12:18 - 12:21 shopify.com/chrisc. 12:24 - 12:28 We're talking the World War II. So, what 12:26 - 12:31 does that mean? Well, it's got to be 12:28 - 12:33 bigger. How does it get bigger? 12:31 - 12:36 Who does Iran cozy up to? They're not 12:33 - 12:38 stupid. Okay, they're evil, the regime, 12:36 - 12:40 but they're not stupid. They've been in 12:38 - 12:43 power 47 years in a place where they 12:40 - 12:46 don't belong. Okay, 12:43 - 12:48 Russia and China. Now, Russia, 12:46 - 12:50 we just gave ourselves a little bit of a 12:48 - 12:52 break on in terms of making them part of 12:50 - 12:53 what exacerbates, accelerates this 12:52 - 12:55 situation. But boy, is that going to 12:53 - 12:58 come at a cost, which I'll explain in a 12:55 - 13:00 moment. China buys up the overwhelming 12:58 - 13:03 majority of Iran's oil. Now, by the way, 13:00 - 13:06 Iran is not a huge oil producer. They 13:03 - 13:09 like 5% of the world output, but China 13:06 - 13:11 buys 70% of it. So, what does that mean? 13:09 - 13:12 Well, China's got a vested interest in 13:11 - 13:14 keeping this going. All right. Well, 13:12 - 13:16 fine. They'll get it going with the new 13:14 - 13:17 regime. That's not a guarantee. They 13:16 - 13:19 like what they have right now. They've 13:17 - 13:21 given them a lot of money and resources 13:19 - 13:24 and building to put in infrastructure 13:21 - 13:27 together for this regime. 13:24 - 13:32 How do we know that China 13:27 - 13:34 if this goes on doesn't want to flex? 13:32 - 13:35 How do we know that China doesn't see 13:34 - 13:38 this and say, "Look, enough." The guy 13:35 - 13:41 does it in Venezuela, which by the way 13:38 - 13:43 has a huge Chinese and Russian presence. 13:41 - 13:45 By the way, they had security forces in 13:43 - 13:47 Venezuela, 13:45 - 13:49 not just diplomats. And we just blew 13:47 - 13:51 through all of it. Now, you could say, 13:49 - 13:55 "Yeah, so they learned they can't mess." 13:51 - 13:59 Or they learned that it's time to mess. 13:55 - 14:01 Okay, distinction with a difference. 13:59 - 14:02 Now they hear it's not just Venezuela, 14:01 - 14:06 it's Iran. Now they hear it's not just 14:02 - 14:09 Iran, it may be Cuba. And guess who else 14:06 - 14:12 is in Cuba? The Chinese. Now, fair 14:09 - 14:13 point. The Chinese are everywhere. But 14:12 - 14:16 how long until they want to do one of 14:13 - 14:17 their own with Taiwan 14:16 - 14:18 and say, "Wait, what are you what are 14:17 - 14:21 you saying to me? You do Venezuela, you 14:18 - 14:23 steal the guy, you do Iran, you you you 14:21 - 14:24 flip up the the regime whenever you 14:23 - 14:27 want. You bomb all over the place. You 14:24 - 14:30 go and take Cuba. You don't think we're 14:27 - 14:33 going to do something? 14:30 - 14:35 Who are you to tell us not to do Taiwan 14:33 - 14:38 the way you're doing these other places? 14:35 - 14:39 Now, what do you have? The Biden 14:38 - 14:40 administration, the Trump 14:39 - 14:42 administration, they've echoed the same 14:40 - 14:46 language. You go with Taiwan, you go at 14:42 - 14:48 us. Really? What does that look like? 14:46 - 14:51 What does that look like? I would argue 14:48 - 14:52 that's an impossibility for America. No 14:51 - 14:56 way you can get into a situation with 14:52 - 14:58 China like that. No way. No winners. 14:56 - 15:00 World War II. 14:58 - 15:03 Russia, they could have been an equal 15:00 - 15:05 antagonist and teamed up with China. Not 15:03 - 15:07 far-fetched. Not far-fetched. North 15:05 - 15:11 Korea, by the way, also could be an 15:07 - 15:13 agitator here as a proxy for China. Not 15:11 - 15:17 far-fetched. Not far-fetched. But what 15:13 - 15:22 did we just do? We just loosened up 15:17 - 15:23 the restraints on Russian oil. Why? To 15:22 - 15:25 help offset what's happening in the 15:23 - 15:29 world market. What does that mean about 15:25 - 15:31 Ukraine? Exactly. What does it mean? 15:29 - 15:34 What does it mean in terms of Russia's 15:31 - 15:38 bravado to expand itself? 15:34 - 15:40 Now, what do you have? World War II. 15:38 - 15:42 You see what I'm saying? It's not just 15:40 - 15:44 about Iran. It's not just the regime. 15:42 - 15:46 And that's why the president keeps 15:44 - 15:48 stepping backwards. Keeps stepping 15:46 - 15:51 backwards. Why is the administration 15:48 - 15:56 suddenly having it both ways with 15:51 - 16:02 Israel? We love BB. 15:56 - 16:02 Thank you. By be the bomber. 16:02 - 16:08 Why? Cuz it's gibberish. 16:05 - 16:10 Where are we with them? 16:08 - 16:12 We're we're allowing a dialogue to go on 16:10 - 16:15 right now, specifically on the right, 16:12 - 16:18 that Israel talked us into this, that 16:15 - 16:20 Israel duped America into this, that 16:18 - 16:23 it's good for them and they convinced 16:20 - 16:26 Trump just like they did in Iraq. It's 16:23 - 16:28 [ __ ] It's demonstrabably false 16:26 - 16:30 about those tropes, those mythologies 16:28 - 16:32 about Iraq. I lived it. I studied it. I 16:30 - 16:35 reported on it. 16:32 - 16:37 We went in there because of hubris. We 16:35 - 16:40 went in there because of stupid people 16:37 - 16:42 around President Bush who were war hawks 16:40 - 16:43 and thought they could just lie to the 16:42 - 16:46 American people and get in there and 16:43 - 16:50 everybody would celebrate yellow cake 16:46 - 16:52 weapons of mass destruction. [ __ ] 16:50 - 16:54 now. 16:52 - 16:56 But you're having it the both ways. Why? 16:54 - 17:00 Because the president doesn't know where 16:56 - 17:02 the power center is here. So he's 17:00 - 17:04 letting Israel get blamed for this with 17:02 - 17:07 a lot of his own voters. Why? better 17:04 - 17:09 than him. Why? Because he's worried 17:07 - 17:10 about this. Why? Because it's not going 17:09 - 17:13 the way they told him it would. Why? 17:10 - 17:16 Because it's not Venezuela. Why? Because 17:13 - 17:18 this is a very big place with a lot of 17:16 - 17:19 people that's decades deep with 17:18 - 17:22 different infrastructure and different 17:19 - 17:25 layers and they have different 17:22 - 17:25 capabilities. 17:25 - 17:30 That's why. 17:27 - 17:34 Where's the win? Well, we're pummeling 17:30 - 17:36 the regime so that they won't rebuild. 17:34 - 17:38 Like the last time we obliterated them. 17:36 - 17:40 No, no, no. This is much worse now. 17:38 - 17:42 We're killing everybody, crushing them 17:40 - 17:45 down. 17:42 - 17:48 What happens when you smother a fire and 17:45 - 17:49 leave even a few embers? 17:48 - 17:53 If the winds blow the right way, guess 17:49 - 17:55 what happens? It relights, right? 17:53 - 17:56 He said he's not in regime change mode. 17:55 - 17:58 Why? He said Iran is going to have to 17:56 - 18:01 step up and do it for themselves, the 17:58 - 18:03 people. Why? because he doesn't know 18:01 - 18:06 that he can get it done in a way that 18:03 - 18:09 gives him a win. 18:06 - 18:11 Why? Too many variables. We've already 18:09 - 18:12 lost almost a dozen people here and 18:11 - 18:15 what? They're not even in direct 18:12 - 18:15 engagement. 18:15 - 18:19 And who knows what's happening on the 18:16 - 18:21 ground in Tehran. Who knows what's going 18:19 - 18:23 to happen in Lebanon and who gets pulled 18:21 - 18:25 in? 18:23 - 18:30 These are zealots. 18:25 - 18:33 They fight as a function of their faith. 18:30 - 18:38 They are happy for a oneto-one exchange 18:33 - 18:42 of life. We are not. 18:38 - 18:47 We think it is worthy of criticism when 18:42 - 18:49 the wrong people die at war. 18:47 - 18:51 Okay? You talk about the power, the 18:49 - 18:52 problems of privilege, you talk about 18:51 - 18:56 rich people problems, you talk about 18:52 - 19:00 first world problems. You think only the 18:56 - 19:03 bad guys get killed in war? 19:00 - 19:06 Boy, oh boy. You people are very lucky 19:03 - 19:08 we didn't have these during the Iraq and 19:06 - 19:10 Afghanistan wars because you guys would 19:08 - 19:13 have seen a lot of things out of context 19:10 - 19:15 that show that war is hell. We stopped 19:13 - 19:17 showing it to you because you couldn't 19:15 - 19:23 take it anymore. We didn't even show you 19:17 - 19:26 dead American troops couldn't take it. 19:23 - 19:30 That's why you don't get into it. That's 19:26 - 19:33 why the president arguably miscalculated 19:30 - 19:36 how this goes. Why? Because he ain't 19:33 - 19:39 three, four, fivedimensional chess. That 19:36 - 19:40 is bologoney. 19:39 - 19:44 Never been accused of being a 19:40 - 19:47 strategist. Never been accused of being 19:44 - 19:49 a deep thinker, a planner, let alone a 19:47 - 19:50 military tactic. Well, he has the 19:49 - 19:52 Pentagon for that. Yeah. How's that 19:50 - 19:55 working out? 19:52 - 19:59 mission creep 19:55 - 20:01 led by Heg Seth, whatever he knows or 19:59 - 20:04 doesn't know, 20:01 - 20:08 changing the message all the time. 20:04 - 20:11 This could get ugly early in a way that 20:08 - 20:14 goes way beyond killing a school full of 20:11 - 20:16 kids, which was terrible. And if anybody 20:14 - 20:18 else had done it, that's all MAGA would 20:16 - 20:21 be talking about. 20:18 - 20:23 But not everybody in the world plays by 20:21 - 20:27 our rules. 20:23 - 20:28 And we are extending ourselves. 20:27 - 20:31 We have all of these different 20:28 - 20:33 battlefronts. And at some point it could 20:31 - 20:35 trigger regional, 20:33 - 20:37 religious 20:35 - 20:41 or 20:37 - 20:41 next level implications. 20:42 - 20:46 Support comes from one skin.

When they ask you, 22:05 - 22:11 "Where'd you hear about us?" Tell them 22:07 - 22:11 Cuomo sent me. 22:12 - 22:19 The last factor, the X factor, the 22:15 - 22:20 biggest mistake that was made here by 22:19 - 22:23 the president of the United States that 22:20 - 22:25 could lead to World War II is going 22:23 - 22:29 alone. 22:25 - 22:31 Going alone. Never seen it before. where 22:29 - 22:33 you just gave the middle finger to NATO, 22:31 - 22:37 gave the middle finger to your allies 22:33 - 22:38 again, and you were wrong. You said, "We 22:37 - 22:39 don't need you. We're just going in. 22:38 - 22:41 We're not going to tell you anything. We 22:39 - 22:42 don't want to compromise it. I don't 22:41 - 22:43 want to deal with you. You're a pain in 22:42 - 22:45 the ass." Just like Trump is with 22:43 - 22:48 Congress, just like Trump is with 22:45 - 22:51 everything. And he goes in by himself. 22:48 - 22:53 And now what does he need? Help. And now 22:51 - 22:55 he's threatening his allies. If you 22:53 - 22:58 don't help me, we won't forget. Really, 22:55 - 23:00 you just tariff the [ __ ] out of them for 22:58 - 23:03 no good reason, 23:00 - 23:05 right? That's unwinding. You're refusing 23:03 - 23:08 to pay back the money and coming up with 23:05 - 23:10 some process that's not done yet. All 23:08 - 23:12 these small businesses hanging on by a 23:10 - 23:16 thread. You're in no rush because you 23:12 - 23:16 don't like to take the loss. 23:16 - 23:20 You should have had the Allies. You 23:19 - 23:24 needed a coalition of the willing. Why? 23:20 - 23:26 That's how you avoid World War II. 23:24 - 23:29 because it's all of us. 23:26 - 23:32 So that makes the some of us not want to 23:29 - 23:34 mess with the all of us. That's why we 23:32 - 23:35 always have these coalitions of all 23:34 - 23:38 these countries where you're like, "What 23:35 - 23:39 are we Australia and who and what and 23:38 - 23:41 Belgium? What why do we need these 23:39 - 23:45 people? What?" Because you have numbers 23:41 - 23:48 matter. Strengthen numbers. Consensus. 23:45 - 23:49 Now you got NATO like why'd you do this? 23:48 - 23:50 You got the allies. No, I'm not I'm not 23:49 - 23:52 going to help you shut down the straight 23:50 - 23:55 of moves. I'm not I'm not going to help 23:52 - 23:57 you open it up. No way. It's too 23:55 - 24:00 dangerous. I'm not sending ships. Japan, 23:57 - 24:03 we're not sending ships. What? What? 24:00 - 24:04 Germany? UK? 24:03 - 24:06 We're not sending No, no. We're not 24:04 - 24:09 going to do this. France, no. No, no. We 24:06 - 24:11 didn't start this war. Wow. 24:09 - 24:15 Risky. And what does that make America 24:11 - 24:17 look to Russia and China? Vulnerable. 24:15 - 24:20 That's how it makes him look. Maybe the 24:17 - 24:22 other guys won't step up. And if they do 24:20 - 24:24 at what cost? You don't think it's going 24:22 - 24:25 to change the tariff structure? You 24:24 - 24:27 don't think it's going to cost us a [ __ ] 24:25 - 24:29 ton of money to get their help in the 24:27 - 24:33 straight of Hormuz, which we should have 24:29 - 24:33 anticipated in advance. 24:33 - 24:40 That's how you get to World War II. 24:36 - 24:42 The mistakes in planning, strategy, 24:40 - 24:45 execution, and understanding the 24:42 - 24:48 eventualities. Forget about winning the 24:45 - 24:50 war, winning the peace. No, no, no. This 24:48 - 24:53 is something very different than that. 24:50 - 24:55 This is not anticipating that the war 24:53 - 24:59 will be a breach of peace that takes it 24:55 - 25:02 to all of a new level. 24:59 - 25:04 What if you don't wipe out the regime? 25:02 - 25:06 What if they stay in there and they just 25:04 - 25:08 cut a new deal? Now you have the 25:06 - 25:09 frustrated Iranian people who now start 25:08 - 25:12 to look at what you did to them on the 25:09 - 25:14 ground differently. Now a school full of 25:12 - 25:16 dead kids looks different because you 25:14 - 25:20 didn't even get rid of the regime. You 25:16 - 25:24 just get a new deal. 25:20 - 25:26 Now what? Syria? Now what? Yemen? Now 25:24 - 25:29 what? North Africa? Now what? Central 25:26 - 25:32 Africa. All of these offshoots of these 25:29 - 25:32 extreme Islamists. 25:32 - 25:38 Now who steps up? Look at Hezbollah. 25:35 - 25:39 They had a deal to disarm, to do it the 25:38 - 25:41 nice way after getting the [ __ ] kicked 25:39 - 25:45 out of them, and they still went right 25:41 - 25:47 into jihad mode. Who's next? What do we 25:45 - 25:48 do about it? How many fronts can you 25:47 - 25:49 fight? 25:48 - 25:52 You were supposed to be the 25:49 - 25:54 non-interventionist. Oh, yeah, but this 25:52 - 25:56 one we had to. Oh, really? What 25:54 - 25:57 hypocrisy? 25:56 - 25:58 Especially if you didn't plan it out 25:57 - 26:01 right. You didn't even go in with a 25:58 - 26:04 coalition of the willing. How important, 26:01 - 26:06 how necessary could it have been if you 26:04 - 26:08 couldn't even convince the people who 26:06 - 26:12 are always by your side? 26:08 - 26:14 How of a no-brainer could it have been? 26:12 - 26:18 How much if you didn't even think you 26:14 - 26:19 could go to them and get it done? 26:18 - 26:22 Why aren't you asking yourselves that in 26:19 - 26:22 MAGA? 26:23 - 26:29 Two things can be true. Tucker Carlson's 26:26 - 26:31 probably full of kaka about the CIA 26:29 - 26:33 looking at him. Why would I say that? 26:31 - 26:34 Because he's offered no proof. Oh, but 26:33 - 26:36 the government should step out. They're 26:34 - 26:37 not going to say anything. But even if 26:36 - 26:39 they did, what makes you think it 26:37 - 26:41 happened? Well, why would he lie? Why'd 26:39 - 26:44 he lie in 2021 when he said the NSA 26:41 - 26:45 under Biden was looking at him? Oh, I 26:44 - 26:47 don't I don't really remember. Oh, 26:45 - 26:49 really? Yeah, it happened. Internal 26:47 - 26:50 review found nothing was going on. The 26:49 - 26:52 Republicans in Congress thought they had 26:50 - 26:54 high ground because they believed Tucker 26:52 - 26:58 Carlson. So, they do an investigation. 26:54 - 27:00 What do they find? Nothing. He just made 26:58 - 27:02 it up. Oh, I don't know. I don't know. 27:00 - 27:03 That's just your opinion. Oh, really? 27:02 - 27:05 Uh, just like with what he just did at 27:03 - 27:08 Bengorian airport in Israel, right? 27:05 - 27:10 Being detained. And then I interview 27:08 - 27:13 Ambassador Huckabe. What does he say? 27:10 - 27:15 Boulder Dash. The guy's taking pictures. 27:13 - 27:17 He's enjoying himself. He never told 27:15 - 27:18 Huckabe anything else happened like that 27:17 - 27:21 and they were in contact the whole time. 27:18 - 27:22 He just made it up. 27:21 - 27:26 Why? I don't know. Why does he say he 27:22 - 27:26 was attacked by a demon? 27:26 - 27:31 I don't know. I don't want to believe 27:29 - 27:33 he's a bad guy. Maybe he's a sick guy. I 27:31 - 27:36 don't know. 27:33 - 27:38 But I'll tell you what, even his kooky 27:36 - 27:41 ass is not wrong to question what we're 27:38 - 27:43 doing in Iran and why it makes sense for 27:41 - 27:45 the American people set against all of 27:43 - 27:47 the costs and all of what we're not 27:45 - 27:48 dealing with here because of what we're 27:47 - 27:50 dealing with there. Perhaps as a 27:48 - 27:54 distraction to what we're not dealing 27:50 - 27:56 with here with the midterms coming, 27:54 - 27:58 but it's going to affect the midterms. 27:56 - 28:01 It may not be even over during the 27:58 - 28:04 midterms. And even if it is over, 28:01 - 28:08 mission accomplished, Daylor, I say, 28:04 - 28:11 we're averaging, thank God, 28:08 - 28:13 not for a minute, not for a second, but 28:11 - 28:16 multiple terror attacks domestically 28:13 - 28:18 each week that this has been going on. 28:16 - 28:21 It's not a coincidence. 28:18 - 28:23 They're not even affiliated. And we're 28:21 - 28:25 at war with ourselves. So even those 28:23 - 28:28 events wind up getting depicted and by 28:25 - 28:30 false narratives. the guy in Michigan. 28:28 - 28:33 Oh, well, yeah, he bombed in he ran into 28:30 - 28:35 that uh synagogue with all those Jews, 28:33 - 28:37 but you know, his family had been bombed 28:35 - 28:39 in Lebanon. I mean, what do you think's 28:37 - 28:42 going to happen? Oh, his family. You 28:39 - 28:43 mean his brother, the Hezbollah 28:42 - 28:47 commander? The guy's a freaking 28:43 - 28:48 terrorist. This guy's a terrorist. What 28:47 - 28:50 kind of narrative is that to make him 28:48 - 28:53 sympathetic for trying to kill a bunch 28:50 - 28:56 of Jews? 28:53 - 28:57 But Tucker Carlson is not crazy to be 28:56 - 28:59 concerned about what's happening in 28:57 - 29:01 Iran. I think blaming it on Israel is 28:59 - 29:05 stupid. Looking for a boo boogeyman. 29:01 - 29:05 Blame Trump. 29:05 - 29:10 Blame Trump. Since when does he get led 29:07 - 29:12 by the nose? Since when does he do what 29:10 - 29:15 anybody tells him to do unless he thinks 29:12 - 29:19 it's good for him? 29:15 - 29:22 Mission creep. No eventualities. No 29:19 - 29:24 alliance. Multiple choke points. Russia 29:22 - 29:26 and China seeing it all happen and 29:24 - 29:30 seeking advantage, wondering if this is 29:26 - 29:36 their moment of destiny. World War II. 29:30 - 29:36 That's how easily it gets that [ __ ] 29:37 - 29:43 Now, 29:39 - 29:45 could I be wrong? Please, please let me 29:43 - 29:48 be wrong. I don't want to cover it. I 29:45 - 29:50 don't want to live it. I don't want to 29:48 - 29:53 suffer it. But the idea that this is 29:50 - 29:55 far-fetched, I'm not Tucker Carlson. 29:53 - 29:57 This is all one, two, three moves away 29:55 - 30:00 based on the facts, 29:57 - 30:03 not based on some conspiracy theory. 30:00 - 30:06 This is what could happen. Regional 30:03 - 30:08 conflict buyin by Islamists choke points 30:06 - 30:13 and seeing the straight of Hormuz as 30:08 - 30:13 it's a fast track to magnified 30:14 - 30:19 relevance, magnified capability, 30:17 - 30:21 choking trade. That's how you hurt 30:19 - 30:24 America. That's how you hurt the world. 30:21 - 30:25 Money. 30:24 - 30:28 Look at how it's working for the regime 30:25 - 30:31 in Iran. 30:28 - 30:35 Russia and China looming over it all. 30:31 - 30:38 Us with no allies on this and divided at 30:35 - 30:40 home. It's a scary combination of 30:38 - 30:42 things, ingredients 30:40 - 30:46 that could really create a [ __ ] stew. 30:42 - 30:46 And I hope it doesn't. 30:49 - 30:56 I'm Chris Cuomo. Food for thought. Be a 30:52 - 30:58 critical thinker. Be a free agent. 30:56 - 31:00 Show people that you are different.

It can't just be that it's about 31:06 - 31:10 right and left and advantage all the 31:08 - 31:12 time. And that your answer to all these 31:10 - 31:14 questions that I just teed up is, "Yeah, 31:12 - 31:16 but Biden." 31:14 - 31:19 Yeah, but you know, but Biden, yeah, but 31:16 - 31:22 Obama. Yeah, but it's got to be about 31:19 - 31:24 right and wrong, not right and left. 31:22 - 31:26 I'll see you on NewsNation 8 and 31:24 - 31:27 midnight.

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about PeekaTube

How does PeekaTube work?
It's simple. You provide a YouTube link, and our AI reads the video's captions (CC) or transcript, analyzes the key points, and generates a well-structured summary.
Does it only work with videos that have CC subtitles?
Currently, yes. The quality of our summaries depends heavily on the accuracy of video captions. However, support for videos without subtitles is in development. If you really need this feature, you can
What types of videos work best for summaries?
PeekaTube excels at processing content centered around 'dialogue,' such as: educational lectures, technical tutorials, interviews, documentaries, and news reports. Basically, as long as a video has subtitles, our AI can analyze it.
How accurate are the summaries?
Our AI is designed to capture the core ideas and structure of videos with high accuracy. However, think of it as a smart 'viewing guide' rather than a complete replacement for watching. It's perfect for determining if a video is worth your time and quickly grasping its key concepts.
What languages are supported?
PeekaTube can not only process multiple source languages but also translate summaries into your preferred language. For example, you can generate a Chinese summary for a Japanese video. Currently supported output languages include: Chinese, English, Japanese, Korean, Spanish, French, German, Italian, Portuguese, and more.
Can the processing speed be faster?
I'm constantly working to optimize speed! The current processing time includes necessary steps to ensure service stability. To prevent YouTube from blocking our IP, the backend uses proxies to ensure PeekaTube continues running reliably for you. While this adds a few seconds to processing time, it's a crucial trade-off for maintaining uninterrupted service. My goal is to continuously improve processing speed without sacrificing stability.
Who is this tool for?
PeekaTube is for anyone who values their time: - Students: Research and course review - Professionals: Stay updated on industry trends and tutorials - Lifelong learners: Explore new knowledge without wasting time
What are the future development plans?
My top priority is launching the long-awaited Chrome extension, allowing Pro users to use PeekaTube directly on YouTube pages. Additionally, as mentioned earlier, support for videos without subtitles is actively being developed. Your support is the biggest motivation for making these features available sooner!
