| 00:00:00 | NUCLEAR PROGRAM IS LESS OF A PRIORITY. |
| 00:00:04 | HOST: FROM LOS ANGELES, EARLY MORNING TO YOU, GO AHEAD. |
| 00:00:10 | CALLER: IT IS EARLY. |
| 00:00:11 | I HOPE TO MAKE POINTS BEFORE YOU CUT ME OFF. |
| 00:00:15 | WE WERE DISCUSSING THE OIL CRISIS AND ALL OF THE MIDDLE EAST SITUATION AND HAVE THEY ARE AFFECTING THE AMERICAN PEOPLE. |
| 00:00:26 | NOW, DO YOU HAVE A SITUATION WHERE YOU HAVE SO-CALLED ALLIES IN ISRAEL WHO ARE DOING ALL THIS AND TURNING IN THE COUNTRY. |
| 00:00:40 | IRAN IS NOT THREATENING ISRAEL, ISRAEL IS THREATENING TO BOMB IRAN. |
| 00:00:51 | IRAN IS A BIG ENEMY. |
| 00:00:53 | AND THEN YOU HAVE A WHOLE WAY IN WHICH TO DISCUSS THIS. |
| 00:00:58 | YOU MAKE ISRAEL MORE IMPORTANT THAN THE AMERICAN PEOPLE. |
| 00:01:03 | HOST: LET'S TAKE THAT POINT. |
| 00:01:07 | GUEST: I THINK HE IS RIGHT THAT ISRAEL IS TURNING IRAN. |
| 00:01:11 | HAVE SAID ALL OPTIONS ARE ON THE TABLE, INCLUDING A NUCLEAR WEAPON. |
| 00:01:20 | BUT IRAN HAS SAID ISRAEL IS A CANCEROUS TUMOR AND SHOULD BE WIPED OFF THE MAP. |
| 00:01:25 | THIS CLAIM THAT THE UNITED STATES IS ONLY TO SIT IN IRAN POSE A NUCLEAR PRIMITIVE OF ISRAEL IS NOT QUITE RIGHT. |
| 00:01:34 | I LEAVE IT WAS A REAL THREAT TO THE NATIONAL SECURITY INTEREST FOR A VARIETY OF REASONS. |
| 00:01:39 | IT COULD BE TO DEFER THEIR POWER IN THE REGION. |
| 00:01:47 | AS A POINTED OUT BEFORE, AND THE CRISIS INVOLVING A NUCLEAR-ARMED IRAN, IT COULD RESULT IN A NUCLEAR WAR IN THE MIDDLE EAST THAT COULD BE CATASTROPHIC. |
| 00:02:02 | AT SOME POINT, THEY COULD DEVELOP WHAT -- VEHICLES THAT COULD DELIVER THEM TO THE WILL EAST COAST. |
| 00:02:10 | ISRAEL IS VERY THREATENED BY THE PROMISE THE CALLER POINTED OUT. |
| 00:02:14 | I THINK WE HAVE A REAL REASON TO BE CONCERNED. |
| 00:02:19 | HOST: THE CHAIRMAN OF THE JOINT CHIEFS OF STAFF, GENERAL DEMPSEY, WAS ON TALKING ABOUT IRAN. |
| 00:02:29 | HERE IS WHAT HE HAD TO SAY AND DO A TALK ABOUT IT. |
| 00:02:30 | [VIDEO CLIP] |
| 00:02:32 | >> I THINK IT WOULD BE PREMATURE TO EXCLUSIVELY DECIDE THAT THE TIME FOR A MILITARY OPTION WAS IMPOSSIBLE. |
| 00:02:42 | I THINK THE INTERNATIONAL SANCTIONS THAT WE'VE BEEN ABLE TO GATHER AROUND SANCTIONS IS BEGINNING TO HAVE AN EFFECT. |
| 00:02:47 | I THINK OUR DIPLOMACY IS HAVING AN EFFECT. |
| 00:02:51 | AND OUR PREPAREDNESS. |
| 00:02:52 | FUNDAMENTALLY, WE HAVE TO BE PREPARED. |
| 00:02:56 | THAT INCLUDES, FOR THE MOST PART, BEING PREPARED DEFENSIVELY. |
| 00:03:05 | HOST: YOUR A FORMER CONSULTANT TO THE DEFENSE DEPARTMENT. |
| 00:03:08 | WHAT WOULD IT TAKE TO BE PREPARED? |
| 00:03:12 | GUEST: THERE'S A LOTTERY TO TALK ABOUT. |
| 00:03:14 | IN TERMS OF BEING PREPARED DEFENSIVELY, IF THERE WERE A STRIKE ON IRAN POSING NUCLEAR PROGRAM BY A ISRAEL OR THE ANALYSIS, IRAN WOULD HAVE THREE PRINCIPAL WAYS UP THE TOLERATING. |
| 00:03:26 | IT DOES HAVE A STRONG CONVENTIONAL MILITARY. |
| 00:03:31 | IT IS DEVELOPING ONE. THE FIRST THING IRAN COULD DO WOULD BE TO SUPPORT |
