Worst-Case Scenario No. 2

" The situation anywhere. This is the war that possibly is coming to our shore as the war room we are war gaming different scenarios we are not predicting that these things will happen where. Asking. -- day happened what do we do if they happen. Here's our second scenario global civil unrest. Now the United States is no longer the world's policeman Mexico has been taken over by narco gains oil and gas pipelines have been targeted and destroyed. Tourism nonexistent due to safety concerns Ukraine is the first European system. -- country to -- eastern European. Ireland is the first western country to fail. Fifty million people worldwide are unemployed there are riots in the streets joining me now from Berkeley California is former CIA operative Bob -- What the scariest dudes I know and in Chicago is department of homeland security's red cell unit brad Thor also author of many best sellers. -- There's breaking news it just came over the wire just the last couple of minutes I believe you have that update."

" I do lot of Juarez that there chief law enforcement officer there has now resigned after what his officers and a prison guard were killed."

" Well the last couple days would notes threatening its family and everything but this is what we talked about last summer I was on we view. Is that mark -- of Mexico's this close to being a failed state in its Colombian narco state and this is going to -- serious as we discussed before serious security concerns for the United States right."

" And it will lead to I believe it will play into at least the disenfranchisement in the and and a possible uprising here in the United States that god forbid please everybody. Have a seat and and relax just a little bit. Bob. On the world stage what are you most concerned about if if these things would come true."

" What what happens to us is we have to retract back into ourselves because we can't afford to be the world's policeman. What concerns you what does the world look like. Here's a couple scenarios that are we getting for becoming very real are becoming not just risks but probability. Let's say we go into a prolonged. Depression. Price of oil follow falls to five or six dollars a barrel the gulf states start going under one by one Saudi Arabia. Depends on very expensive oil. So does Iran Iran got a population of seventy million. People start to start -- out of money a big army. They move into the gulf and take it we have a hostile regime in control of our resources that is not that far away."

" You know we have found. I know but both of you gentlemen we have talked over the years about a ran getting in new. And Benjamin Netanyahu is now the guy in charge. And he looked me in the eye and said we have a right to survive we have a right to live. And he was very clear with me that he would not allow I ran to get a new they now have the material to make one. How much of a role does that play in in what's coming."

" Glad I didn't know if I think it's a huge I'd go ahead of brad I think it's going to be about. I think it's going to be a big deal -- especially if this crisis and I have confidence in America I don't think we're going to get wiped off the map as far as just haven't remove ourselves from the world stage."

" But that does happen it will war gaming adhere Israel if you are older Brothers all the sudden not at the playground with you 1 morning. You're younger brother needs to step up and not the biggest kid right in the teeth if he doesn't want to have problems -- I wouldn't begrudge Israel the right to do that first second. --"

" Glenn there's there's a pool at the Pentagon right now I talked a couple of officers last couple days that. What are the chances of the major war in the Middle East they're putting it 55%. With Netanyahu's appointment today."

" What is that what I'm what does that do to us Bobby having. You know -- arch duke Ferdinand was a -- that most people in America never even heard of he was gunned down in the streets and all of a sudden we were on World War I the whole world was that war. And we were there are."

" Doctor. I play that way it goes -- Netanyahu goes into Gaza Gaza City. He is the same time there's. Rockets coming across the border from Lebanon. The Israelis are obligated to go in Damascus here Hamas headquarters there hit his ball that will pull in Iran there'll be retaliation against Iran. Iran has a couple thousand rockets facing again this my bias but facing the oil facilities and other side the gulf. And they have promised I truly believe they will will fire rockets these oil facilities. In this all occur within minutes I mean this is that this is a risk it's not a certainty. But this is the kind of -- considerations are going the Pentagon to."

" It does anybody. Did anybody and a hand this is one of the things that really woke me -- it was after 9/11 -- the first time I read it it was Osama bin Laden and he said. What I did to Russia I will bring to the United States and I thought you arrogant SOB. You didn't bring down Russia it was it was Reagan in the -- and Thatcher. And indeed he played a huge role. We all did it was the perfect storm and about five years ago that's but what I real -- and again I went all my gosh. That's what I'm most concerned about is that there are so many of these. These things that -- could be huge. But also that's tied into what would happen in the Middle East is also tied in to just running over Europe Europe itself is teetering with. -- a Muslim extremists as well. How does the world stand without America. Standing there and being prepared to deal with --"

" Glenn you know this this is a very important point that you brought up what happened -- the American there is exactly what happens when the teacher leads the classroom. A lot of these people -- while I'm talking particular in the Muslim world and what you have in Western Europe in particular. Is -- they are no longer are going to be able to be embarrassed that -- how we interact with them how we think about them -- how they deal with -- spread over there they're going to fold like a -- wallet they are they are -- we saw with that here welders -- they wouldn't let him -- to speak any uninvited -- house of parliament there. So this is a big problem in the mother also said that his goal was to cripple us economically. So what a great time to kick America is when it is in a financial crisis to try to make it worse Jim."

" And we all said that. You know we all they didn't have a problem. I think in the -- the Russia could falling collapse from economics and yet for some reason a lot of Americans elect -- that'll never happen us why. What makes us different. Okay."
