  She's been thinking about this sleepover all week, but I think about her food allergies all the time. Fortunately, her doctor prescribed Zolair, omalizumab. It's proven to significantly reduce allergic reactions if a food allergy accident happens.

• 0:13Speaker 01

  Zolir 150 mg is a prescription medication used to treat food allergy in people one year of age and older to reduce allergic reactions due to accidental exposure to one or more foods. While taking Zolir, you should continue to avoid all foods to which you are allergic. Don't use if you are allergic to Zolir. Zolir may cause a severe, life-threatening allergic reaction called anaphylaxis. Tell your doctor if you ever had anaphylaxis. Get help right away if you have trouble breathing or if you have swelling of your throat or tongue. Zolir should not be used for the emergency treatment of allergic reactions, including anaphylaxis. Zolir is for maintenance use to reduce allergic reactions, including anaphylaxis, while avoiding food allergens. Serious side effects such as cancer, fever, muscle aches and rash, parasitic infection or heart and circulation problems have been reported. Please see zolir.com for full prescribing information. Ask an allergist about Zolir. This is an advertisement for Zolir

  Hey, everybody. Welcome to another episode of Eyes on Geopolitics. We've got the full crew here today. Mick Mulroy, Andy Milburn, Jason Lyons and myself. Lot happening as usual. We got word, was it a day ago, a day and a half ago, about a 21-point peace plan in Gaza? That who knows if the Israelis are down for? But 21 points seems like a lot. And it seems pretty thorough. The interesting thing that I read is like it leaves like an open-ended thing for like a Palestinian state, which I'm sure the war cabinet as it's now constituted will not exactly go for. Just guessing, speculating. What are you guys tracking on this? Mick, let's start with you.

• 2:26Speaker 05

  So as you know, I was at the, uh, in New York City for UNGA last week. And this was a big topic because it was, it was, um, presented by the U.S. to, uh, several countries, uh, who are paramount for its success. In fact, if they don't buy into it, it's not going to work. The first two, of course, are Israel, Group, uh, terrorist organization Hamas, um, to agree to, because we're in the 48-hour period, right? So if they agree in the next 48 hours, uh, that's be, you know, Israel and Hamas, there, uh, this, this plan will start.

• 3:07Speaker 05

  And it starts with, obviously, the ceasefire, a complete, uh, release of all hostages, the 50, 20 of which are still believed to be alive. Thousands of Palestinians will be released from prisoners, I should say. Uh, they will go back to the 600 trucks of humanitarian aid per day, which is what's necessary. Uh, and then there is a whole other, uh, well, IDF will start pulling out of major population centers. Then a multinational force will be raised, Indonesia's volunteer 20,000 troops. Uh, as most people know, of course, they are a Muslim country, so they, uh, I think they think

• 3:52Speaker 05

  that they could be, uh, this force, it'll be supported by many Arab countries. Tony Blair is involved with his institute. He's going to be kind of like the best governance part, where they're going to build a technocratic infrastructure of Palestinians to focus on rebuilding the society, the economy. It'll be demilitarized, some also have nothing to do with the future government. There'll be a Palestinian Authority, but a revived one. Uh, the current one is considered non-effective and in many ways corrupt. Uh, so they will, they will essentially redo the Palestinian Authority, and they'll fall under it, and then they'll be training Palestinian security forces.

• 4:38Speaker 05

  That are like police, not like military army type. So they're not a threat to Israel. There'll be a major reconstruction fund. We're talking billions and billions of dollars funded mostly by the GCC countries, Saudi Arabia, UAE, Qatar, I imagine. And then all this is hopefully going to lead to a plan for a two-state solution in the sense that there'll be a Palestinian state that lives in harmony with Israel and an expansion of the Abraham Accords. So it's a very, and I won't go through, I mean, I'm sure I didn't cover all of them, but we'd be here the whole episode talking just about the plan. I think it's very comprehensive.

• 5:23Speaker 05

  Hats off to the folks that put this together. I'm sure it was a lot of work. Will it happen? I don't know. We're going to find out by, you know, Tuesday. Because that's, that's got to happen for any of the other stuff to happen. But it'll be a Herculean effort. I think it would be worth the stability that it'll bring in the region in the long run. But that's, that's where we are. Hopefully, Israel will accept this immediately. And then Hamas doesn't do what it always does and blow it. But we'll see. That's, and I was hearing about this before the plan came out. Really, today, I think, in full, and it was very consistent with, and there's also like one factor.

• 6:07Speaker 05

  Israel promises not to attack Qatar in the future, you know, I'm sure they stuck that in there. But all of it's important, but, but really it needs to start for it to have any relevance beyond think tanks and podcasts.

• 6:23Speaker 05

  Want to tackle that, Andy?

• 6:26Speaker 06

  Well, first of all, I think it's tremendously positive move. You know, I never, frankly, I, you know, looking at the 21 clauses or a few in here that I never expected this government to put in there.

• 6:43Speaker 06

  On the other hand, and I hate to say on the other hand, because I really do think that, you know, I mean, it's easy to attack any proposal and I'm not attacking it. I'm just concerned because there is very, I think deliberately a lack of detail in a lot of these points. And so as the saying goes, the devil will indeed be in the details. And I think one of the biggest concerns upfront, as Mick pointed out, we're within the 48 hour time limit, right? Well, it's hard to see what is in this for Hamas's leadership. Aside from the fact that they're not going to get attacked in Qatar, you know, they're agreeing. I mean, I, you know, I understand that they can always agree to something with the, with the belief that they're going to be,

• 7:27Speaker 06

  they're going to be able to change things down the line. But that's, you know, that's, that's probably my biggest concern is incentives for Hamas leadership to agree with this right off the bat. I don't think, I think they've proven in the past, they don't care enough about the Palestinian people. At least they have a very distorted view of how they represent the Palestinian people. And so the suffering the Palestinian people and the option to be able to stop that, I don't think it's going to be an incentive enough. I think in the end of the day, they want to hold on to power and this agreement threatens that. In fact, it specifically removes them from power. So that, that would be my, my concern.

• 8:07Speaker 06

  I think it's great that, that there's an agreement both about a transitional government. You know, that was a sticking point previously. It's a little vague on that. It talks about Palestinian technocrats taking over a government, interim government, before turning over to the Palestinian Authority if the Palestinian Authority kind of passes the test for a reform. All right. So that's kind of indefinite. But I, but if a, if a group of Palestinian technocrats have indeed been identified, as I'm sure they have, that is, that's certainly positive. Again, it's easy to poke holes in this.

• 8:50Speaker 06

  I'm, I, what I'm, you know, rather than call what I'm saying criticism, I'd like to say, I prefer to say they were just concerns based on, based on what's happened historically and based on the, the main players. You know, when I talk about vagueness. Things like the US will work with Arab and other international partners to develop a temporary international stabilization force. Mick mentioned the Indonesians. That's that's great, but there's I think there's going to be getting other. I'd like to hear if there's more regional Arab partners who've agreed to that. Previously, both the Jordanians

• 9:33Speaker 06

  and the Saudis have said that would kind of be in a lose-lose situation for them to provide a stabilization force. However, okay, getting on to the positive things. Well, there's a number of positive things here. If the Israeli government agrees to this, there are some notable concessions. One is, even though it's a very vague talk about discussions in the future, at least it opens the possibility of discussions about a future Palestinian state, which Netanyahu has briefly said, has said in not so many words, but over my dead body. I think another positive aspect of this is, I think it's point number

• 10:17Speaker 06

  16, or no, 17, where Israel basically says if Hamas delays or rejects the proposal, all the other points will apply in in what are called tariff-free areas that have identified within Gaza. And there's been talk about this for some time. In other words, you control who enters these areas, you know, through biometrics or whatever means you search military age males. And so they move into, I'll call them sterile zones, right, where they are fed and they're looked after and given medical attention. But you make sure that bad actors don't get in there. Maybe easier said than done.

• 11:04Speaker 06

  But at least, you know, if that can be done, the IDF has proven itself not capable of doing that before. But if it can do that, then yeah, that's certainly, that's a great, I'm glad to see that clause in there because it's a realistic, certainly realistic to prepare for Hamas not agreeing to this. But I'll stop there and just say, hey, this is, I'm, I'm cautiously excited by this, because at least it shows from, from our administration, we'll see from the Israelis, the, the willingness to, to overcome some roadblocks that were there beforehand, standing in the way of a ceasefire, or indeed a peace settlement.

• 11:50Speaker 05

  Jay?

• 11:52Speaker 07

  Yeah, I'm, I'm saying, I'm excited that the, for the possibilities while being acutely aware of the possibility of the negatives. I think Andy's point about Hamas's distorted view of their protection of the Palestinian people is the main, is going to be the main roadblock. And along with Israel's hypersensitivity to that, that's going to be the main, in my eyes, main roadblock to this. Because those two things are going to be the, what's going

• 12:33Speaker 07

  to not only be the roadblock to it, but what's going to start all this up again, you know, all the, the destruction up again. So we just have to keep an eye on it while hoping for the best. So, yeah, we'll see, we'll see what happens.

• 12:49Speaker 05

  And it also includes no annexation of parts of the West Bank, no forced expulsion of Palestinians out of Gaza. So it seems to me like it's pretty consistent with.

• 13:02Speaker 05

  You know, what, what needs to happen, at least from my point of view, and, and really what the last administration was pushing for too. So it's not, uh, it's not, uh, it's, it's not purely pro Netanyahu's version of what the future should be. So we'll, we'll have to see whether he accepts it because that'll be a big step for him. Uh, and of course, whether the right faction, the, you know, far right faction of his security cap cabinet accepts it because I don't seem to accept, won't accept anything. So I don't know. Well, let's, I think we should all, I think everybody's on this podcast, Lee's is pulling for it, but we'll find out next, uh, what 36 hours.

• 13:38Speaker 06

  Yeah. The, the settlers, the, the West Bank yahoos and the right wing, they're going to go absolutely apeshit about this. Absolutely apeshit. There is no way they're going to agree to the, it's not just the Gaza peace, but especially the West Bank peace. They literally think they have a God given right. I mean, I mean that absolutely literally, God given right to own the West Bank and expel or kill every Palestinian living there now. It's Sudan, it's Judea, it's Samaria. It's not the West Bank and it's already part of Israel.

  Also, how does Netanyahu keep his coalition if he's down to do this kind of this 21-point plan? How can he possibly stay in power?

• 17:25Speaker 06

  Well, I mean, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to jump in. I mean, you know, Netanyahu is a cunning survivor, and he may, who knows? This is not beyond the realms of the probable. He may decide it's time to step off the right, extreme right-wing bus and form a centrist coalition. And if he agrees to this plan, there is certainly the possibility of doing that.

• 17:53Speaker 06

  Who knows?

• 17:53Speaker 05

  Meetings tomorrow between President Trump and Mr. Netanyahu, I believe, in the White House. So we'll just come into a head. Hopefully, hopefully, we go forward with it. If not,

• 18:07Speaker 05

  I don't know when the US just says, you know, we did everything we can. Come back to us when the two sides are willing to, you know, move forward. I'm not saying we give up, but

• 18:18Speaker 05

  this is a very well laid out plan. I believe most of the countries, the GCC countries and others are willing to contribute. So now we have to see whether the two main parties, State Israel and a terrorist group Hamas agrees to go forward.

• 18:36Speaker 04

  Yeah, so we'll see what goes down in the next 36 hours. Anything left on this that you guys want to touch on before we move on to the next topic?

• 18:46Speaker 06

  No, I think it's though it's kind of interesting that when you look at what's happening in the Republican Party, there is, you know, there's some, there's a lot of Netanyahu fatigue, right? And, you know, a lot of the media, vocal media proponents of the right wing of the Republican Party, Tucker Carlson being one, you know, it's been very forthright in the fact that we need to cut Netanyahu loose, that he does not represent US interests. So I think that that adds a little more, perhaps, impetus to this. I don't know how much, but maybe I'm grasping at straws, but I think it's certainly a positive sign.

• 19:29Speaker 04

  I think there's definitely a chasm in the right wing between, you know, Israel 100% and, you know,

• 19:39Speaker 04

  what Israel is doing is no bueno.

• 19:44Speaker 06

  Hey, just a last point, you know, I was just thinking about this the other day. I'm watching on my Twitter feed Israeli friends included attacking the UK for, you know, Starmer's recognition of the Palestinian state and making comments about the UK being a Muslim country and this and that. And I just think about how the pendulum has swung, you know, I grew, my best friend at boarding school, his father served in Palestine, as it was called then, the mandate back in, you know, this guy is a 19-year-old rifleman in the rifle brigade, right? He'd survived landing in Normandy for the Germans all the way through, and then instead

• 20:27Speaker 06

  of going home, gets sent to Palestine. And I just remember him, he was a very calm, level-headed guy, he was a lawyer after the war, but you started talking about what he would call Jewish extremists and the Haganah gang, the Stern gang, you know, these guys, the British soldiers were seeing civilians and themselves taking casualties from these guys. My point is this, not to, this is not, you know, I mean, my point is simply to this, that sometimes when we throw terms around terrorism and everything, it's all on where you stand and what you believe in, right?

• 21:08Speaker 06

  It's, I, listen, this is an argument, of course Hamas is a terrorist organization, of course, of course Israel has a right to exist. I'm simply saying that I remember a time when people were labeling nascent Israelis before the state became Israel, and that's why, you know, I'm referring to them as Jewish terrorists from the point of view of British soldiers, that's what they called them back then. And, you know, sadly, this has been, this has been the story of the land of Israel and of Palestine, since its birth, both sides labeling the other, and both sides wanting the same thing.

• 21:45Speaker 04

  Yeah, that's well said. All right, moving on to what's cooking in Eastern, and not so Eastern, Europe. Ton of drone incursions by Russian drones. Last week we heard from Trump, who at the, I think it was at the, um, guy at the UN General Assembly, at the press conference, where he said, yeah, NATO should start, or European countries should start shooting down these drones if they want to.

• 22:12Speaker 04

  I'm sure they have stepped up their patrolling and stuff like that, but we're still seeing a ton of like, uh, reports of incursions over Norway last night over their, their military base where F-35s are housed. Um, what, what is Europe doing? What are these countries doing? Why aren't they? I don't understand, like if they shoot down a drone in a populated area, people might get hurt and stuff like that. But what are we doing to, uh, knock this off?

• 22:38Speaker 05

  Well, to start with on the comments you mentioned for President Trump, those were pretty significant. Um, right. He not only talked about Europe should be shooting down drones and aircraft, he started talking about how Ukraine could win this, period. And actually take back all the terrain that they've lost to Russia. I believe, and people who I think would know more than I do as, as far as accesses, that he was briefed that Russia's intent is not to stop at Ukraine. So if we don't stop them, literally at Ukraine and roll it back, we could be seeing, uh, uh, essentially a world war, right? If he goes on to a NATO country, then we're all in. So I think that was part of his comments,

• 23:22Speaker 05

  uh, both on, on Russian intent, but also on Ukrainian capabilities. If the funding for Russia was cut off for the secondary tariffs of Europe and the United States, I think it's fair to President Trump to point out that there's still several European countries that are buying oil and gas from Russia, which funds the war that they're obviously against, including, you know, like France, Belgium, Netherlands, for example. Uh, this, this was a significant shift in, you know, the idea that Ukraine has to be willing to give up some of their terrain for peace. So I would highlight that first. And then secondarily, and I, I mean, I'm still going back to the, that weird drone thing we had in the United States, because it looks so similar to this. I have no information that...

• 24:08Speaker 05

  You know, Russia was doing that, but this is like a harassment. It's the bully that walks down the hall at school and slaps a kid on the back of the head and keeps walking, right? It's just to show that they've got some kind of power over you, but they're not really trying to get in a full on fight. I think the, you know, next time the bully punches you in the stomach, right? So I think they need to stop it right now. They need to, A, shoot down, actually shoot down drones are easy. I mean, as far as like politically deciding to shoot them down, but shooting, they need to start shooting down manned aircraft too. You fly over our stuff, we're going to shoot you down. It's your choice. You made it. We already told you what we're going to do. And then, you know, if it keeps going, they start sending drones over Russia. You know,

• 24:50Speaker 05

  you can't, you can't, you can't let a bully's get away with anything, or it just gets worse and worse. It never gets better. And, and Russia, I mean, they are obviously trying to drag other countries into this conflict. And that has to be an alarm to everybody in Europe. And I think it already is, right? We can get into, you know, the rearm Europe 2030 plan, the safe plan, the fact that they are expanding so much of their military spending. I mean, it is, Europe is getting ready for war and America needs to understand it's not over exuberance. It's because they believe it's going to happen. They're fortifying hospitals. They're building basically

• 25:34Speaker 05

  underground bunkers. They're doing things that really indicate as a society that they expect this to happen and they're preparing for a war in Europe between NATO countries, which will include the United States, of course, under Article Five, and Russia. It is a, the alarm bell should be going off for everybody, not just the countries on the border of Russia.

• 25:56Speaker 06

  Yeah, I, I mean, I agree a hundred percent with Mick, you know, put this in the perspective, all right? This is, this is definitely ratcheting up the tension. Two weeks ago, Russia launched 19 drones, right? Clearly intentional, right across the border. They, they weren't straying from Ukrainian airspace. Oslo, the, the airports in Oslo and Copenhagen had to shut down because of unattributed drones flying nearby and likely, I mean, who likely to be Russian, unproven.

• 26:31Speaker 06

  And then, of course, Estonia. Estonia scrambled jets nine times since the first of August. All right, the first eight times were over Estonian waters. But this latest incident, two MiG-31s flew for 12 minutes right through Estonia's airspace. 12 minutes may not seem like a long period of time, but when you're flying at, you know, Mach 1, that's considerable distance, right? In other words, they flew right over Estonia on the way to Kaliningrad. They were intercepted by two Italian F-35s. Of course, that's part of the Baltic air patrol.

• 27:13Speaker 06

  Estonia doesn't have its own fast jets. And the Italians made it very clear, you know, by lagging their wings and everything, get out of Estonian airspace, and they were ignored. It's kind of an interesting point. The rules of engagement in NATO were such that although it was a violation of a sovereign country, the decision would have had to be made by NATO to intercept. And the Italians could have pulled the card on that and said, you know, by intercept, I mean shoot down.

• 27:51Speaker 04

  Also, the MiGs were also armed.

• 27:54Speaker 06

  They were armed, yeah. My point is this, it's that when you delegate, and this is unavoidable in this particular case, but it's a tricky thing. So NATO may say, hey, this is violation of Article 5, but it's still, the country that owns those assets still makes the decision whether to pull the trigger or not. By then, it's too late, right? When you're dealing with fast jets or you're dealing with an impending threat. If it's your own jets and over your own country, then you don't have to rely on NATO at all. You can just shoot them down. And so the Russians know that. The Russians know that it's going to be a lag time when they fly through Baltic airspace.

• 28:34Speaker 04

  Is that why they're not flying through, like, Poland?

• 28:36Speaker 06

  I don't know.

• 28:38Speaker 04

  I think so. Because, like, the Poles would be like, all right, let's go.

• 28:41Speaker 06

  I would guess, because the Poles, and then I've been watching them, what they've been saying publicly. But they've been saying, don't do it. You know, most recently, I think it was Ananga, right? Mick, the Polish delegate, said, you're going to be crying. He said, "You don't, don't cry to us later. Don't, don't violate our, our sovereign territory and then cry. They, they, you know, you, you're losing people." Um, because the Poles will, the Poles will go to war. I have no doubt about that. I mean, they

• 29:13Speaker 07

  And they're ready.

• 29:14Speaker 06

  They've got some bitter history too. Twenty thousand Poles died in Katyn Forest. Twenty thousand in a, in a And, and if you've seen that area, it's not that big area. Russians lined them up and shot them in the back of the neck. Twenty thousand Russian, uh, sorry, Polish, uh, Polish army officers. Um, the Poles remember the Warsaw uprising when, when the Russians Instead of coming to their aid deliberately stopped advancing and let the Germans Uh, go in and, and annihilate the, uh, the, the rebels, you know, there's, and I mean, you just think what's happened during the Period of Soviet occupation of, of Poland too.

• 29:58Speaker 06

  Um, put it the, the way they put down strikes, the way they put down any demonstration. You remember the

• 30:07Speaker 06

  Strikes in the Gdansk shipyard in eighty-two, put down very brutally by, uh, Yes, it was the Polish government with, with Soviet backing. So there's a lot of history there and I have no doubt that they would, that they would strike back.

• 30:23Speaker 07

  Yeah, the Russians are using soft measures too, um, even though it hasn't been, uh, positively attributed or Pinned to them. Just four days ago, a Spanish military aircraft, it was an Airbus A three thirty carrying the, uh, Spanish Military, uh, Defense Minister was flying through it. I think it was, hold on, let me see here. Estonian airspace, I believe it was, um, was, uh, their GPS, uh, emitter was just, uh, It was jammed and, uh, I believe it was, um, Kaliningrad. Um, it was jammed. It was Lithuania. And, uh, it was attributed to, uh, Russian interference and

• 31:05Speaker 07

  So, I mean, that kind of stuff. I mean, it was, it was fine. The aircraft was fine, uh, ultimately, but That kind of stuff, you know, those are the kind of things that, uh, could attribute, be attributed to acts of war. So Those are all between the drones and those sorts of things. That's kind of stuff that, uh, could lead to war. So. Oh, hey, who's that guy? That handsome devil?

• 31:27Speaker 04

  Yeah, Mick with the wardrobe chains.

• 31:29Speaker 05

  That's TV Mick.

• 31:30Speaker 04

  Also, you gotta think about like the sabotage stuff like DHL flights that they were trying to do. It's kind of brazen when you really put it down and it's. I mean, I hope some European nations that especially the ones that are getting their airspace breached start just

• 31:47Speaker 04

  doing what they need to do to like, you know, kind of PP whack Russia into place again.

• 31:51Speaker 07

  Yeah, I don't know if anybody else is noticing this, but more and more kids, literal teenagers are being arrested for on charges of spying for Russia in Europe.

• 32:04Speaker 04

  Yeah.

• 32:04Speaker 07

  Like literal teenagers. It's crazy.

• 32:07Speaker 04

  Why is that easier, cheaper?

• 32:09Speaker 07

  Yeah, it's just easier. They're being recruited online through video games and, you know, things like literal Roblox. My nephew plays Roblox, things like that, and they're just being recruited through those kinds of things and, you know, hey, why don't you go check out this airbase for us? So this warehouse, you know, stuff like that and being taught how to make pyrotechnics and, you know, Molotov cocktails and they think it's cool and they're getting rolled up, you know, because they're expendable. So.

• 32:42Speaker 06

  You know, the other thing is we talk about the military stuff that's going on, but if you look at the influence campaign that is going on with disinformation with with people on the ground actively inciting certain political parties within Europe. So for instance, think back to the Georgian elections, last year's elections in Georgia, you know, the pro Kremlin Georgian dream party was able to secure a majority after mass interference, mass interference campaign by Moscow. And now the same thing is happening this weekend in Moldova. Moldova is bordering on Ukraine.

• 33:26Speaker 06

  There's the Moldovan government arrested seventy four Russian, what they call Russian saboteurs. I don't know exactly what they're doing there, but they certainly were there to interfere with the elections as a pro Soviet party within Moldova. And it looks as though that Moldovan elections may be going the same way. And remember, these are winning like or stacking an elections and getting their guy in possession, tactics that the Russians have used before in Ukraine or attempted to use in Ukraine, they've used in other countries. And it's, I don't want it to sound like an alarmist, but often a precursor for invasion,

• 34:07Speaker 06

  because the next step is to come in and say, hey, they're simply moving forces in to defend the democratic process because their party wasn't elected. So all of this, all of this stuff is happening and the tension has been ratcheted up. And there is certainly a lag time in response by United States and NATO. But for, as we talked about, for Eastern European countries, I think that, you know, they are, I'm sure there are internal discussions about red lines going on right now.

• 34:49Speaker 05

  That's a big effort in Europe right now, right? Bottomization, mobilization, integration, it's all happening. They have countries like, I think Poland has been trying to get to three hundred thousand active forces, would be the largest land army in Europe, Germany. I mean, you know, I have a lot of German friends kind of laughing, sending me memes about, you know, this push for Germany to, you know, basically go back to its old ways, right, to be ready for the war. Obviously, a different, completely changed Germany, but it, this is happening. It's something that I think is what really inspired the president's statements.

• 35:29Speaker 05

  I think he's been briefed, not just by US intelligence, but also by people in Europe and leaders around the world that he knows, and I think they're telling him. Like this is, this is critical that we win here. We can't, it's not charity, never has been charity, even though we obligated ourselves to, to secure Ukraine in the nineties. But it is, it is in everybody's interest to see them win.

  And Russia lose substantially.

• 37:55Speaker 04

  Hey Mick, question, and that's for everybody here. I mean, we've been, President Trump's been president for eight months. He's just been briefed about this? Like, is this just like a

• 38:06Speaker 05

  You're sure he's been briefed many times.

• 38:08Speaker 04

  I know, that's what I'm saying, like it finally saturated?

• 38:13Speaker 05

  It's all speculation. Perhaps they even have some kind of intelligence that's direct that Putin's talking about his, you know, future goals. It's complete speculation. I haven't even seen that speculated in the media, but something could have, could have been briefed that really gave him the confidence that they gotta win. But I mean, I think everybody would agree, his, his words on this object changed pretty substantially last week.

• 38:41Speaker 06

  Yeah. I, I'd heard, but I don't know, B, that it had to do with the oil refinery strikes.

• 38:49Speaker 06

  The Ukrainians have been going after Russian

• 38:53Speaker 04

  Yeah.

• 38:54Speaker 06

  oil refining capability and have, I, I don't know if it's exaggerated, but I've heard that they've reduced reduction by 80%, production by 80%. And if you look on in Twitter land, there are, there are photographs of long lines of cars at Russian gas stations. So it's certainly having an impact on the economy. And the Russian economy, despite all the sanctions violations, is not doing well. And you look what the ruble has done too. You know, the, the pressure may not be mounting up directly on the government because of the massive amount of casualties in Ukraine, and they are, and they continue to lose a thousand guys a day wounded and killed.

• 39:35Speaker 06

  British Ministry of Defense this week repeated those numbers. But you combine that with what every single Russian citi- citizen is seeing as far as the impact on their pocketbook. And, and you certainly must be having war fatigue. Of course, criticism of war there gets you a five year jail sentence. But there's, you know, there's only so much, so, so long you can, you can keep the, the

• 40:05Speaker 06

  The lid on the pot, right? I was trying to think of a metaphor that wasn't a cliche, but I

• 40:11Speaker 04

  Almost got it.

• 40:12Speaker 06

  Yeah.

• 40:13Speaker 04

  Um, I have read that they're like recruiting has been pretty up in terms of like, cause they're offering a a decent, like a really good amount of money. If you're, if you join the Russian army as a, you know, Russian dude, um, which is interesting, right? Like the, the, these guys would never see this kind of salary outside of this war economy. And outside, they might not live to see much salary.

• 40:37Speaker 06

  Cannon fodder, right?

• 40:38Speaker 04

  They realize your life expectancy is a month and, you know.

• 40:43Speaker 06

  Gee, that was, that was true. Uh, until a few months ago, I've heard it's not so true now as, as Mick points out that, you know, the word is getting back that it's, it's a lot of money, but it's a very short period of time. Yes. Your family, your family gets a pretty generous payout, uh, but that's not a lot of consolation to many people to know that. And, um, and eh, the, yes, there was a, a particularly strong selling point in provincial areas, uh, especially in the east, eastern part of Russia. But again, word is getting back. And actually there have been some documentaries, not by Russian TV, of course, but on the internet by Russian, uh,

• 41:25Speaker 06

  Russian media outlets working from outside Russia, uh, that have been showing what is happening on the front there for Russian soldiers. I doubtless that has had a, eh, had a negative effect on the recruiting drive. They're not in as bad shape as the Ukrainians admittedly. I mean, Ukrainians are in a really dire place when it comes to manpower. All of their units are, are undermanned and I, you know, I, this sounds so pompous to me, but I predicted this. I wrote an article. Two years ago now, saying that manpower would be the biggest challenge for Ukrainians, and it is proving to be. You know, you get sectors of the line there that are being

• 42:06Speaker 06

  held by over, you know, squad for every five kilometers, if that. And that's how the Russians made advances a couple of months ago, vicinity of Pogorovsk. They simply just walked through the Ukrainian lines, which have become very porous. But you know, the Ukrainians continue to inflict heavy casualties, not just on the Russian army in the field, but in a very intelligent, strategic way, and now at Russian energy assets.

• 42:40Speaker 04

  Yeah, it's great. All right, last bit. Hexs meeting on Tuesday. I want to say I could be wrong, but the early next this week coming up with the top generals in the entire United States military. I don't know if the Coast Guard's there. They should be. Shout out to the Coast Guard. What do you got? I mean, they've, it's been, it's been leaking somewhat since we, me and Andy spoke about this a few days ago, that it's going to be a talk, like a pep rally on, I'm smiling when I say this because it's so ridiculous, pep rally on warrior ethos and something else that makes no sense. Mick, you were in the military. You were a Marine, unfortunately. No, I'm just joking. I love Marines. I love

• 43:24Speaker 04

  the Marines. What's your, what's your take?

• 43:28Speaker 06

  In this present company.

• 43:29Speaker 04

  I know. I know. I'm surrounded.

• 43:32Speaker 05

  Yeah, no, your audience. So I look, I look, because I'm pretty, pretty sure I'm going to be talking about this this week. I think it's unprecedented. I don't, I can't think of, I can't find any time in history where they brought all of the combatant commanders and below back in person to see the Secretary of Defense, even when, you know, we didn't have the communication systems we have today, which you can obviously securely VTC people in from all over the world, right? So that's unprecedented. There's questions of expense fair. There's questions of security. Pretty sure we can guard all these folks at Quantico. Spent a lot of time there myself, but.

• 44:19Speaker 05

  And then the question of what's, what's the real point? So a couple of points and I'll throw it to the, to the other guys. One, if you really want to have an effective summit like this, you need to tell people what it's about. So they can prepare that's, it's just odd that it hasn't, that they haven't been told.

• 44:38Speaker 05

  There's no reason to keep, you know, four star generals and apples in the, in the, you know, dark about why they're doing something. It is disruptive. They are, there's major events happening every day in many of these folks' regions, if not all of their regions. I mean, look, there's a war in your

• 45:00Speaker 05

  continuous conflict in the Middle East. Uh, so that's, that is, uh, that, that bears a question. So other, other issues they might discuss. There is a potential on this cut of GOs, right? So generals and animals. I think that's a fair discussion to have. If you look at, say, World War Two, we had 12 million people under arms. We had rough, just over a thousand, you know, generals.

• 45:35Speaker 05

  We now have like 880 generals and we have 1.3 billion, million under arms.

• 45:43Speaker 05

  It to me says we have, we have a lot more generals than we did then. And perhaps what used to be done by a lieutenant colonel is now being done by a two star. So I think it's a fair question to have. Uh, I don't think it's fair to then like make them the bad people, right? The people that served 30 plus years in the military, devoted their entire life. 20 of those years were in combat. They start as a second lieutenant. Uh, in just case people don't understand, you don't start as a general. So they've seen it on every level. So to, to have the argument that we need fewer generals and then make generals, the actual bad, bad guy is just completely unfair.

• 46:25Speaker 05

  And I think they would actually be the ones that are most helpful when it comes to reducing. You know, the GOs, because they know, they know more about what's needed at what level. So I think it's a fair question. I don't think it's fair to criticize them. And I would also say that everybody they're bringing back is well aware what the warrior ethos is. Right. That's what they've dedicated their entire lives to. And this idea that our military isn't capable is just unfair to the military. It's capable, whether it's Democrat in charge, or Republican in charge, or, you know, hopefully one day an independent in charge. They are still the same military and their, their main purpose in existence is to fight and win wars and defend the country.

• 47:08Speaker 05

  And I think that is important, but these men and women that are on planes right now flying back, they're well aware of the warrior ethos, not saying that we don't need to have a discussion, not saying that the Secretary of Defense of War shouldn't, shouldn't talk to them directly. But I think there'll be a lot of questions based on that. And then there's this idea that there's going to be some kind of oath. I can't imagine that is the case. Maybe it's just propaganda. But ultimately, I'm not saying that there is going to be an oath, but you can't take an oath other than to the Constitution. If you're asked to, you resign. That there is no, there is no alternative oath.

• 47:50Speaker 05

  Or, or you're actually violating your oath to take another oath. I don't want to get too worked out about it because it just might be.

• 47:59Speaker 04

  Get worked up.

• 48:00Speaker 05

  Yeah, but I, I don't think that's the case. But if it is, I think we'll see 880 generals refuse.

• 48:10Speaker 04

  Andy, you were a Colonel in the Marine Corps, full bird, no bullshit. You know what I mean? Like, what's your take?

• 48:17Speaker 06

  Well, first of all, absolutely. I agree with Mick. I mean, it's hardly even worth discussing the possibility of taking an oath. I mean, that's so far fetched, but if indeed it is true, yeah, I agree with Mick. I mean, you're just going to see mass resignation of all these officers. It's not a gray area. It's a very black and white area. You take one oath and that's to the Constitution. We've all taken it and we should all take it seriously. And that transcends oath to any one, our loyalty obligation to any one person or certainly any political party. There may be officers who forget that, who don't understand that, but I don't think you'll find them in the general officer ranks.

• 48:58Speaker 06

  Yes, look, I mean, I started as a private and, and at every, at every rank, you, you resent the people above you, right? I mean, that's just the way the Marine Corps works. Everyone above you is an idiot and they don't know what the hell's going on. I, you know, I agree with Mick, you know, you don't really have to give a lecture to these guys about the worry ethos is what they've dedicated their lives to and they may be general officers now, but they all have significant combat time behind them. Commandant Marine Corps has a purple heart, you know, a real purple heart, not from heat stroke or just having his bill rung in a Humvee. I mean, he was shot, you know, so everyone has, yeah, I get it, man. We've all done multiple combat tours.

• 49:39Speaker 06

  There's no one more lethal warrior than another and they all understand that. And I, you know, I, I would, I would say, yeah, it's probably not worth bringing them all back to Guanaco to give them a talk about that or PT standards or anything like that. I, you know, for the sake of being the devil's advocate, because I enjoy doing that, arguably, perhaps there is a reason to call them back if you're talking about 20% reduction in, in general officer ranks and you want to ensure that they, that all of these guys can look you in the face and hear the direct truth from you rather than, you know, from a, from an email or a Signal chat or anything like that. You know, I do understand that.

• 50:21Speaker 06

  I mean, there's an aspect of leadership, when you're breaking bad news, you want to tell people face to face. So again, being devil's advocate here, if, if that is part of this, then maybe I do understand bringing all these very important, very busy people back at high cost, incredibly high cost to the government to one single location. But there's another part to this that is, that, that I, I think may make all of our speculation null and void, and that is the president now is going to appear at this meeting. And that broke today in the Washington Post. And so Secretary of War Hagsteth was going to talk to them in his words, less than an hour

• 51:05Speaker 06

  about the warrior ethos and all this other stuff. But now the president is going to talk and who knows how long that's going to take. And I would say that that has kind of hijacked whatever the the reason for this originally. I would say the president's visit kind of eclipses all of that, wouldn't you? And it certainly certainly raises new security concerns. Secret Service, I'm sure I, Jason will tell you, are delighted to be flooding down there now en masse to prepare for this. What the president will say is anyone's guess. Who knows?

• 51:40Speaker 07

  Jay?

• 51:40Speaker 06

  I'd love to see a fly on the wall.

• 51:42Speaker 07

  Me too.

• 51:44Speaker 07

  Yeah, as the lowest man on the totem pole here, I'm just hoping that it's, you know, as the guy who probably would have been.

• 51:52Speaker 06

  He's speechless.

• 51:54Speaker 07

  As, yeah, the guy who probably would have been leading the working party to get this freaking dog and pony show pretty. I just hope it's something that's a substance, you know? That's all I can say because over the last few days, I've heard every theory of what it could be from we're going to war to it's, hey, you know, everybody's wearing silkies for PT from now on. I don't know. I don't know what it is. But hopefully it's something substantive because as Andy's pointed out, a lot of money is being spent, a lot of security is being gussied up for these general officers to fly to one spot.

• 52:37Speaker 07

  I'm not worried like Andy said, or like Mick said, you know, I'm not worried about a missile landing on Quantico, you know, to take them all out. They'll be safe, but if this could have been an email or a VTC, then that's what it should have been. But if not, as Andy's pointed out, I do believe that if this is, hey, a 20% reduction thing, then yeah, he should do the right thing and look them in the eye and say that that's what it is. That's the leadership thing to do. That's the right thing to do. But if it's something miniscule, you know, relatively, then that could have been done via VTC, a warrior ethos thing that they are going to in turn stand on a stage in front of their men and women and say, pass on, then it should have been done that way.

• 53:21Speaker 07

  But I guess we'll see. We'll. You know, wait with bated breath and see what comes out and New York Times will say it's peace. And you know, J D Vance will turn around and say, see it, you know, you guys made a big deal out of nothing, which he's done already and we'll, we'll see what happens. But I think the bigger piece will be what the president says, uh, when he gets down there and you know, we'll see what happens.

• 53:49Speaker 04

  Yeah, I wonder if it has anything to do also with like the looming government shutdown. There's a meeting Monday, uh, with President Trump and like Democratic senators, uh, or Democratic leadership and from the Congress and, uh, and this, you know, this pow wow is going on on Tuesday, I believe, right? And, and the president's supposed to be there. There has also been talk of like a Doge 2.0 that like, if there's a government shutdown, they're going to use it to fire more federal workers, even though they've hired the federal, a lot of federal workers back from eight months ago.

• 54:24Speaker 07

  If I get fired, just know that the next podcast I'll be butt ass naked. So let's all just get that out the way now.

• 54:33Speaker 04

  Yeah, you have nothing to worry about. It could be full, full, full frontal.

• 54:38Speaker 06

  Well, I, I think you should get that out in the, uh,

• 54:41Speaker 07

  Out of the way now?

• 54:43Speaker 06

  No, no, no, no, no, let's, uh, no, I, I, let's not waste this moment. I think that D just needs to get that out to the, uh, it is the, the team house audience who would be interested in that and they will come.

• 54:56Speaker 07

  October 6th, I'll be in the studio. So.

• 54:58Speaker 04

  They do enjoy shirtless Andy, especially when Andy gets shirtless. They do enjoy it. Next, next one's going to be shirtless at the team house. It's going to be Mick and Jason. I'm going to make sure it happens. Uh.

• 55:09Speaker 07

  Briefly soon.

• 55:11Speaker 04

  Well, so there's some a team house podcast lore. Andy one day showed off his pecs on the team house podcast and incredible physique. And so that has become part of like the Team House lore.

  Yeah, so we'll look and see what's going, what happens in the next week, obviously, and we'll bring it back to you next week. I'm sure there's going to be more, a lot more to talk about, about these subjects. You guys have anything else before we run?

• 57:30Speaker 04

  I want you guys to do me a favor. I want you guys to check out Mick Mulroy's new podcast about Stoicism. It's called The Pub and the Porch. Really good. I'm enjoying it a lot. I'll put a link in the description down there for that. Andy Milburn, his book, of course, all the links are down in the description. Andy's book's called The One That Tempest Gathers. Jason Lyons, links are in the description. And support us on Patreon, please. Patreon.com/the team house. Thank you, guys. Thanks, gents.

• 58:02Speaker 06

  Everyone, see you next week.

• 58:05Jack Murphy?

  Hey, guys. I want to tell all of you today about a new newsletter that we're launching that encompasses both the Team House Podcast, the Eyes On Podcast, and the High Side News Outlet, which I run with Sean Naylor. The newsletter is going to be once a week. It's going to come into your inbox, and you're going to get the most current podcasts on Eyes On and the Team House, and whatever's topical or current on the High Side. So it's another way for us to get the information out to you, as social media algorithms are pretty iffy, and you never really know what you're going to get. So this is a once a week email. It'll slide into your inbox, and it will have, you know, the greatest hits of that week. It's really good. I'm checking it out.

• 58:50Jack Murphy?

  The website for it is teamhousepodcast.kit.com/join. Teamhousepodcast.kit.com/join. Go there, and you enter into your email list, or you enter your email into the little thing on the website, and you're good to go. And that'll be it. So we really appreciate your support, and hope you'll consider signing up.

• 59:13Speaker 15

  Where's the link?

• 59:15Jack Murphy?

  The link will also be down in the description, if you're looking for it there. And that's teamhousepodcast.kit, K-I-T.

  People would always think I was lactose intolerant, so I just kind of shortened my explanation to I'm deathly allergic, in a big way that defined a lot of my childhood.

  And while there are challenges, there are moments that remind you, you're not alone.

• 59:54Speaker 10

  One of the best guys that I dated, he made a point to memorize all my food allergies.

  She's been thinking about this sleepover all week, but I think about her food allergies all the time. Fortunately, her doctor prescribed Zolair, omalizumab. It's proven to significantly reduce allergic reactions if a food allergy accident happens.

• 1:07:27Speaker 01

  Zolair 150mg is a prescription medication used to treat food allergy in people one year of age and older to reduce allergic reactions due to accidental exposure to one or more foods. While taking Zolair, you should continue to avoid all foods to which you are allergic. Don't use if you are allergic to Zolair. Zolair may cause a severe, life-threatening allergic reaction called anaphylaxis. Tell your doctor if you ever had anaphylaxis. Get help right away if you have trouble breathing or if you have swelling of your throat or tongue. Zolair should not be used for the emergency treatment of allergic reactions, including anaphylaxis. Zolair is for maintenance use to reduce allergic reactions, including anaphylaxis, while avoiding food allergens. Serious side effects such as cancer, fever, muscle aches and rash, parasitic infection or hardened circulation problems have been reported. Please see zolair.com for full prescribing information. Ask an allergist about Zolair. This is an advertisement for Zolair,
