Chapter 1: What led to the U.S. missile strike on the Iranian school?

0.031 - 22.174 Pat

New York Times has a story, U.S. at fault in strike on school in Iran. Preliminary inquiry says they came in. You know, we've been following this closely. A lot of different things have been said. The president and Pete Hex said were asked about it. And they said, we don't know. My opinion is Iran was behind this. And then Pete Hex said, we're looking into it.

But I think there's a clip, Rob, that you have an ongoing military investigation has determined that the United States is responsible for a deadly Tomahawk missile strike on an Iranian elementary school, according to U.S. officials and others familiar with the preliminary findings. The February 28th strike on Shajah Raw, Toye Bay Elementary School building was the result of a targeting mistake.

43.754 - 59.012 Pat

by the U.S. military, which was conducting strikes on an adjacent Iranian base, of which the school building was formerly a part of the preliminary investigation found. Officers at the U.S. Central Command created the target coordinates

58.992 - 75.493 Pat

For the strike, using outdated data provided by the Defense Intelligence Agency, the DIA, people briefed on the investigation said officials emphasized that the findings are preliminary and that there are important unanswered questions about why the outdated information had not been double-checked.

75.513 - 87.008 Pat

Striking a school full of children is sure to be recorded as one of the most devastating single military errors in recent decades. Iranian officials have said the death toll was at 175 people, most of them children. Vinny.

86.988 - 96.506 Vinny

Um, I mean, tragedy is an understatement for what happened. I know people say, you know, casualties of war, and I understand that part.

Chapter 2: What are the preliminary findings of the military investigation?

96.927 - 116.393 Vinny

My thing is, we know as a military member, Pat, especially being Air Force, I know you were Army, Mike's here, you know, Navy. What were you, Mike? Navy, guess what? Every single munition, every bomb, every missile is accounted for if it's ours. If it's the United States munitions, we know exactly where it is and we know what happened.

116.753 - 132.874 Vinny

If the case is that it was us, just come clean, apologize so people move forward. Because you know what? Those are 168 children who have fathers, who have brothers, who have uncles, who have cousins. What are their attitudes going to be like towards us?

0

132.854 - 159.807 Vinny

us think about think about that and where are they are some of them here are some of them sitting around waiting to do something this is a very very bad look if it is nobody's still giving us a solid answer but if it is us i want them to come clean and let everybody know what happened at least admit to the fault because this whole well we don't know might have been them and they initially blamed them right off the bat they're like it was iran which it looks like to me now it's not but i think that you have to come clean with something like this

0

159.787 - 173.854 Vinny

I get it. It's a horrible, horrible thing that happened when innocent lives are taken, are killed, and you have to admit it, at least admit the fault, and move on. I don't like this, Pat, this waiting around, and you know what's going on.

173.874 - 182.25 Pat

Let me tell you, you're right, and Caroline Levitt said, President Trump said this. He first denies it. If you have the other one, he's still, go for it, Rob.

184.053 - 206.999 Unknown

A new report says that the military investigation has found that the United States struck the school in Iran. As commander-in-chief, do you take responsibility for that? That is what? As commander-in-chief, do you... For what? For the strike on the school in Iran. A new report says the military investigation has found it was the United States that struck the school. I don't know, though.

207.019 - 210.803 Pat

Go to what Caroline Leavitt had to say. Here's what Caroline Leavitt had to say about it.

211.576 - 220.805 Caroline Leavitt

Why did President Trump say yesterday that Iran may have Tomahawk missiles when there are only three other U.S. allies plus the U.S. that have those missiles?

221.045 - 238.562 Unknown

Look, again, as the President said yesterday, he will accept the conclusion of this investigation by the Department of War. I know there's been a lot of speculation in the media about who may be responsible for this. We're not going to get ahead of the Department of War in the conclusion of that investigation. The President has a right to

Chapter 3: How did the strike on the school impact the local community?

312.006 - 319.495 Unknown

But I think that's the most important thing to draw a distinction between intentional targeting of civilians and an absolute.

0

319.475 - 348.03 Unknown

tragedy that happened due to error own it because we do have to own it it did happen the reality is here people say war is ugly war is not ugly just because people are fighting each other war is ugly because the longer a war goes on for the more margin for human error there is and the more this kind of thing will happen and the longer this war goes on the more likelihood that some other mishap will eventually happen again it's just the tragedy of war i think that's the right approach like you said vinny it's it's a tragedy regardless of where the missile came from

0

348.01 - 360.455 Unknown

Whether it came from Iran, Israel, the United States, it doesn't matter. Children are dead. Nobody likes seeing that. And it's exactly what we have to avoid. But we do have to own it. And we do have to understand that intention is everything. Yeah.

0

360.475 - 380.367 Vinny

By the way, the way that he said it, the way that he manned up and he said it, that's how you do it. Take responsibility. He said the Department of War. So in that sense, Pete Hexeth should come out and say, hey, listen, we made a mistake. God bless all their souls. We made a mistake. Because mind you, that happened, what, week one? Yeah. How many days in?

0

380.767 - 394.568 Vinny

We're the superpower, the most intelligent for our intelligence community and the Israeli intelligence community. Forget it. They're the best. How do you make that mistake that quick? And then you're kind of backtracked and blaming them. I understand it's a tactic of war. But no, boy, you got to come clean and say if it was us.

394.588 - 419.796 Pat

So it was a military base that it was previously a military base that they turned into a school. And the DNI, Department of National Intelligence, didn't update the fact that it's now a school with kids in it. And they shot that place down, assuming it's a military place. Yeah. So then that's the part where you have to sit there and wonder how recent did that change? When did that happen?

420.477 - 441.13 Pat

Why were they not updated? Who dropped the ball here? Who was the individual that didn't give the proper information? Was it a U.S. intel? Was it a report they gave to us from Mossad? Somebody dropped the ball and – Why are you converting a military base into a school? Military bases will always be targets. Yeah, military bases. And that's the argument on the other side.

441.23 - 455.026 Pat

Military bases will always be military bases. They'll always be targets. But listen, it's still a valid conversation to have to address this. At the end of the day, if you think about war, what is the one thing you never, ever want to happen in war?

455.206 - 455.727 Vinny

Innocent.

Chapter 4: What are the implications of wartime accountability?

456.688 - 472.711 Pat

Yes, children. Never want that. This is horrible, devastating that something like this happened. And, you know, hopefully they'll come out. And the way that Kennedy did it, you could tell he was in pain when he was doing it. That wasn't a comfortable moment for him. But he stood up, he did it, and he moved on.

0

472.851 - 481.302 Vinny

I looked it up while you were doing it. They're saying that the visible satellite, apparently since 2018, it's been converted. Since 2018?

0

481.342 - 482.023 Pat

That's a long time.

0

482.043 - 506.335 Unknown

You know, there's a hacking story here. Yeah. Some years ago, back when – they may have been still using them. Remember tapes? The tapes that were secret and the CIA would send or the Department of War would send? The tapes, they were opened in specific envelopes in a specific way, and then those tapes were loaded onto cruises, right? And then there was this whole –

0

506.315 - 529.087 Unknown

thing about, Pat, you know, about bad guys switching the tapes so that the target coordinates that are on these tapes, because sometimes the military, the guys arming the bombs, don't know where the tomahawks are specifically going. You're there to set set coordinates and you don't know what those coordinates are. Boom. And off they go.

529.127 - 549.188 Unknown

They launch from the ship and then they go to the targets that have been set. And so now we're living in this digital world where, you know, a change of address form doesn't get filled out and we hit a school. Yeah. Number one. But number two, now you also have the long term hacking of, you know, being able to hack into defense systems and change coordinates of intended targets.

549.388 - 551.711 Vinny

That's very scary. It was actually 2016.

Chapter 5: Why is transparency critical in military operations?

551.871 - 553.753 Vinny

So it's been 10 years. Yeah.

0

553.733 - 556.937 Unknown

You have to wonder, do they not do surveillance before targeting sites also?

0

556.957 - 560.142 Vinny

Well, there's no boots on the ground. Yeah, but satellite surveillance.

0

560.843 - 564.969 Unknown

You have control of their airspace. You would imagine that they could confirm targets before hitting them.

0

564.989 - 577.446 Pat

Satellite surveillance. You go and you're seeing a bunch of kids coming out. That's what I'm wondering. So if it's 16, 10 years, they dropped the ball on this in a big way if it's been 10 years. So if you're somebody that's running a sales –

577.426 - 599.232 Pat

organization and you're running a business and you want to find a way to improve your sales team results activity in better systems better comp better strategies better innovative campaigns and knowing who to work with who not to work with identify what clients are better clients for you and develop that culture within your guys we host an event once a year called the sales leadership summit and this guy in the video is going to explain it to you

600.19 - 615.811 Pat

Every great sales team has three different types of people on its team. The finder, the closer, the builder. Every once in a while, you have a trifecta that does all three. Let me explain to you what this means. Finders are great prospectors. They'll go out and find clients, no problems, but they're not good at closing.

615.831 - 636.373 Pat

Closers, put somebody in front of me, I'll close them, but I'm not good at prospecting. Builders, if they become a client, they're very good at retaining, developing relationship, all of that. And if you can develop trifectas that do all three, your company's doing numbers you've never seen before. The last 25 years, I have worked on developing people that are trifectas.

636.353 - 642.205 Pat

If you want to learn how to develop trifectas on your sales team, once a year I host an event called the Sales Leadership Summit.

Chapter 6: What responses have been made by U.S. officials regarding the incident?

And there may be possibilities afterwards of doing some stuff that I can only announce to the people that are going there. But if you're running an organization doing over a million with five salespeople, you want to improve it, come spend a couple days with us. You're going to be in a room with all performers in the sales business. So it's everybody that's the best in their industry.
