To Defeat Iran, Arm Its Citizens: GOP Congressman Pete Sessions & Col. Wes Martin

In this episode of John Solomon Reports, Texas GOP Rep. Pete Sessions discusses how the current situation between Iran, Israel and the United States would change if Iranian citizens were armed, emphasizing that Iran has killed over 40,000 of its own citizens who have expressed discontent with the regime. 

Sessions also says that President Trump has been careful with his use of military power, but that even common sense has frailties. The congressman also talks about how Democratic politicians such as Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Sen. Bernie Sanders are pushing anti-United States and anti-Israel sentiments, which have contributed to recent demonstrations on Capitol Hill. 

Finally, Sessions explains the recent redistricting in his home state, members of Congress switching parties and the importance of Americans understanding the impact of reaching peace through strength.

In the second segment, John and retired Colonel Wes Martin discuss the plausibility of a deal between the United States and Iran – considering Iran cannot be expected to abide by any deal. Retired Colonel Wes Martin thinks past presidents failed to understand that dynamic. 

Martin wants the Trump administration to better identify consequences, a plausible exit strategy and more domestic and international support. He explains his argument about why the U.S. shouldn’t have paused its air attacks – arguing the path to victory – and a peace deal – is to engage with, train and arm the Iranian people with weapons. Martin also speaks on issues such as the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps remaining firmly in charge of Iran, the likelihood of a drone problem arising and the IRGC’s history of killing American soldiers.

In the third segment, Tom Simon, an FBI special agent turned licensed private investigator, discusses the prominence of real estate fraud in the era of artificial intelligence, specifically in the context of a 63-year-old woman who was arrested for selling multiple properties she didn't own. The woman was revealed to be doing the fraud on behalf of scammers in Nigeria. Simon also talks about the susceptibility of vacant land, second homes, inherited property and investment properties to home title theft, and how owners can protect themselves and look out for their properties with Home Title Lock.
