Speaker 2: you're gonna want to hear from our great friend and sponsor,

22
00:00:49,280 --> 00:00:52,199

00:00:54,960 --> 00:00:57,680
Speaker 2: have a friend at church. This just happened. This week.

25
00:00:57,840 --> 00:01:01,160
Speaker 2: He just texted me today to Chris, thank you for

26
00:01:01,240 --> 00:01:04,200
Speaker 2: sending me to John and his team. I called, he's

27
00:01:04,240 --> 00:01:06,559
Speaker 2: in between jobs right now. And one of the biggest

28
00:01:06,600 --> 00:01:09,399
Speaker 2: stressors they had was how are we going to afford

29
00:01:09,720 --> 00:01:12,160
Speaker 2: buying our own health insurance when we're down to one

30
00:01:12,160 --> 00:01:13,800
Speaker 2: income in the house right now? And I said, you've

31
00:01:13,800 --> 00:01:15,520
Speaker 2: got to call John and his team, and they did,

32
00:01:15,600 --> 00:01:17,759
Speaker 2: and they were so relieved that they were actually able

33
00:01:17,800 --> 00:01:21,760
Speaker 2: to get insurance for their family of four without stressing

34
00:01:21,880 --> 00:01:25,039
Speaker 2: or paying some exorbitant sum of money for a Cobra plan.

35
00:01:25,480 --> 00:01:27,840
Speaker 2: This is the second friend in between jobs who has

36
00:01:27,840 --> 00:01:32,520
Speaker 2: saved hundreds literally hundreds of dollars a month. My parents, seniors,

37
00:01:33,440 --> 00:01:35,920
Speaker 2: and my step parents also seniors. All four of them

38
00:01:35,959 --> 00:01:38,920
Speaker 2: have saved each hundreds of dollars a month with their

39
00:01:38,920 --> 00:01:42,319
Speaker 2: supplemental health insurance plan with Medicare because they reached out

Speaker 2: again eight five five stagall is how you reach us?

78
00:03:29,880 --> 00:03:34,160
Speaker 2: Did you see the Texas Senate primary yesterday? So the

79
00:03:34,200 --> 00:03:41,480
Speaker 2: fake Preacher beat Crockett. This is a second loss fast

80
00:03:41,560 --> 00:03:45,360
Speaker 2: Daddy for tackle Bridges. What a devastating development here comes

81
00:03:45,960 --> 00:03:48,600
Speaker 2: this talks about the cachet. I guess of Kamala Harris

82
00:03:48,640 --> 00:03:51,560
Speaker 2: today and any idea that she's going to run again

83
00:03:51,960 --> 00:03:54,480
Speaker 2: for the nomination, and they aren't ruling that out that

84
00:03:54,560 --> 00:03:59,920
Speaker 2: Kamala Harris may try it again. I guess her endoor

85
00:04:00,440 --> 00:04:03,640
Speaker 2: of Jasmine Crockett didn't seem to get to do much

86
00:04:04,200 --> 00:04:05,880
Speaker 2: as the fake preacher beats her.

87
00:04:06,640 --> 00:04:08,920
Speaker 3: Can't believe it is this. Does this make Kamala O

88
00:04:09,080 --> 00:04:09,480
Speaker 3: for one?

89
00:04:10,280 --> 00:04:15,200
Speaker 2: Now, this right, if you count her own race, that

90
00:04:15,280 --> 00:04:20,080
Speaker 2: would be and two now because that's look, every time

91
00:04:20,200 --> 00:04:26,160
Speaker 2: a primary candidate loses and is Trump endorsed, what do

92
00:04:26,200 --> 00:04:29,359
Speaker 2: we hear about? It's a referendum on Trump?

93
00:04:30,880 --> 00:04:30,960
Speaker 6: Right?

94
00:04:31,600 --> 00:04:34,279
Speaker 2: Isn't that always what the press says? It's a referendum

95
00:04:34,279 --> 00:04:36,960
Speaker 2: on Trump. If he's endorsed someone and that's someone goes

96
00:04:37,000 --> 00:04:39,279
Speaker 2: on to lose in a primary or a general, that

97
00:04:39,520 --> 00:04:43,720
Speaker 2: speaks to the electorate's mood about Trump. That's always what

98
00:04:43,760 --> 00:04:48,560
Speaker 2: the press says. So can we then infer the Jasmine

99
00:04:48,560 --> 00:04:52,760
Speaker 2: Crockett being endorsed by Kamala Harris and losing in this primary,

100
00:04:52,800 --> 00:04:56,640
Speaker 2: coming in second to the fake preacher? Can we then

101
00:04:56,680 --> 00:04:59,640
Speaker 2: infer that that means Kamala Harris does not have coattails?

102
00:05:00,240 --> 00:05:02,400
Speaker 3: I think so. If you know the New York Times

103
00:05:02,440 --> 00:05:06,159
Speaker 3: has a reporter solely on Trump endorsements, waiting for every

104
00:05:06,560 --> 00:05:09,400
Speaker 3: word and every election to finish, I think maybe conservative

105
00:05:09,440 --> 00:05:12,160
Speaker 3: media needs to get somebody on this. I mean, we

106
00:05:12,240 --> 00:05:15,600
Speaker 3: are to infer Kamala is a loser and endorsement.

107
00:05:15,800 --> 00:05:20,120
Speaker 2: That's exactly right. She has no coattails. She's got no juice.

108
00:05:20,880 --> 00:05:24,400
Speaker 2: Kamala Harris lost the primary for Jasmine Crockett. Let me

109
00:05:24,440 --> 00:05:25,880
Speaker 2: be the first to say that, and I hope it

110
00:05:25,920 --> 00:05:29,320
Speaker 2: catches on. I assume it will later today. Jasmine Crockett

111
00:05:29,360 --> 00:05:34,040
Speaker 2: lost because of Kamala Harris. Everything Kamala Harris touches politically

112
00:05:34,080 --> 00:05:38,080
Speaker 2: turns to ruin. That should be the official narrative for

113
00:05:38,160 --> 00:05:40,920
Speaker 2: all of us today. So let that settle in and

114
00:05:41,000 --> 00:05:44,360
Speaker 2: I'll go ahead and send out the memo and other

115
00:05:44,400 --> 00:05:49,040
Speaker 2: talk show hosts should be saying that by about noon today. Meanwhile,

116
00:05:49,120 --> 00:05:51,840
Speaker 2: on the Republican side, John Cornyn and Ken Paxton, the

117
00:05:51,880 --> 00:05:55,960
Speaker 2: Attorney General of Texas headed to a runoff after needed

118
00:05:56,040 --> 00:06:01,920
Speaker 2: Republican cleared the majority threshold Tuesday. A runoff extends one

119
00:06:01,920 --> 00:06:05,119
Speaker 2: of the most consequential primaries in the country and sets

120
00:06:05,160 --> 00:06:08,800
Speaker 2: up a bruising fight for the GOP Senate nominations as axios.

121
00:06:09,400 --> 00:06:12,599
Speaker 2: The drawn out battle could deepen party division and drain

122
00:06:12,720 --> 00:06:16,440
Speaker 2: resources ahead of the general election. So that is one

123
00:06:16,440 --> 00:06:18,760
Speaker 2: of the thoughts or worries that down there in Texas,

124
00:06:18,800 --> 00:06:20,920
Speaker 2: the fake preacher could sneak in there and beat one

125
00:06:20,960 --> 00:06:23,240
Speaker 2: of these guys. Whoever ends up shaking loose in May

126
00:06:23,760 --> 00:06:25,800
Speaker 2: as the primary winner because they will be blowing a

127
00:06:25,800 --> 00:06:28,200
Speaker 2: bunch of their campaign cash trying to beat up on

128
00:06:28,200 --> 00:06:28,600
Speaker 2: one another.

129
00:06:28,680 --> 00:06:31,919
Speaker 3: Does that concern you, ed, It does concern me.

130
00:06:32,040 --> 00:06:32,360
Speaker 2: Yes.

131
00:06:32,480 --> 00:06:35,839
Speaker 3: The way the Tallaryko's coming on, yeah, yeah. And honestly,

132
00:06:36,279 --> 00:06:39,440
Speaker 3: how close Bato got to Ted Cruz was a little concerning.

133
00:06:39,480 --> 00:06:42,440
Speaker 3: I know it's been a pipe dream to flip Texas

134
00:06:42,440 --> 00:06:45,640
Speaker 3: blue for the Democrats, but I am a little worried

135
00:06:46,040 --> 00:06:46,480
Speaker 3: about that.

136
00:06:46,680 --> 00:06:49,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, So let me ask you about the close nature

137
00:06:49,560 --> 00:06:51,240
Speaker 2: of this. You know, we've had Wesley Hunt on a

138
00:06:51,240 --> 00:06:53,680
Speaker 2: few times. He's requested to come on the show throughout

139
00:06:53,680 --> 00:06:56,800
Speaker 2: this campaign, and Texans were not ultimately convinced that he

140
00:06:56,880 --> 00:07:01,040
Speaker 2: was the guy. Texas Republicans overwhelmingly voted for Cornyn and Paxton.

141
00:07:01,800 --> 00:07:05,080
Speaker 2: Wesley Hunt took about thirteen percent of the Republican primary

142
00:07:05,160 --> 00:07:08,400
Speaker 2: vote yesterday. Not all votes are in, but as of

143
00:07:08,480 --> 00:07:12,880
Speaker 2: about midnight last night, about ninety percent or and this

144
00:07:12,960 --> 00:07:15,200
Speaker 2: is the latest count that I have, maybe something's more current,

145
00:07:15,200 --> 00:07:18,560
Speaker 2: but fifty three percent of the vote for Paxton or

146
00:07:18,600 --> 00:07:21,200
Speaker 2: excuse me, forty three percent of the vote for Cornon,

147
00:07:21,400 --> 00:07:26,400
Speaker 2: forty percent for Paxton. So Hunt with thirteen percent. That's

148
00:07:26,880 --> 00:07:31,920
Speaker 2: enough that if he weren't in the race head that

149
00:07:32,040 --> 00:07:34,560
Speaker 2: thirteen percent could have gone to one of those guys

150
00:07:34,600 --> 00:07:36,800
Speaker 2: and made a clear winner and this would have been

151
00:07:36,840 --> 00:07:39,200
Speaker 2: over this morning. Now, I don't know if that thirteen

152
00:07:39,240 --> 00:07:41,200
Speaker 2: percent would have gone to Paxton or corn Where do

153
00:07:41,200 --> 00:07:42,120
Speaker 2: you suppose it would have gone?

154
00:07:42,440 --> 00:07:45,600
Speaker 3: Uh So, Wesley Hunt has been a Trump you know,

155
00:07:46,080 --> 00:07:49,320
Speaker 3: endorsed candidate, at least in Congress from the very beginning.

156
00:07:49,360 --> 00:07:53,960
Speaker 3: He was a very big vocal supporter of Trump. That's

157
00:07:54,000 --> 00:07:56,120
Speaker 3: a tough one here. I'll tell you what I think

158
00:07:56,160 --> 00:07:59,920
Speaker 3: would have happened. I think most of this Hunt vote

159
00:08:00,200 --> 00:08:04,200
Speaker 3: would have gone to Paxton, and I think Ken Paxton

160
00:08:04,280 --> 00:08:07,600
Speaker 3: would have been the handy winner this morning. You would

161
00:08:07,600 --> 00:08:10,400
Speaker 3: have won handily this morning and there would not be

162
00:08:10,440 --> 00:08:12,920
Speaker 3: a runoff. The Attorney General of Texas would be the

163
00:08:13,000 --> 00:08:17,000
Speaker 3: nominee to go up against the fake preacher in the general.

164
00:08:17,080 --> 00:08:19,040
Speaker 3: That's what I think would have happened. Most of these

165
00:08:19,080 --> 00:08:21,200
Speaker 3: thirteen percent that voted for Hunt would have gone to Paxton.

166
00:08:21,200 --> 00:08:23,360
Speaker 3: I don't think they would have gone to Cornyn. But

167
00:08:23,720 --> 00:08:26,680
Speaker 3: that assessment I agree with that. And I also think

168
00:08:26,720 --> 00:08:29,560
Speaker 3: though that Wesley Hunt setting himself up for the future

169
00:08:29,560 --> 00:08:32,120
Speaker 3: like I thought he knew he wasn't going to win.

170
00:08:32,720 --> 00:08:34,920
Speaker 3: But he's probably looking out for himself too in the

171
00:08:34,960 --> 00:08:35,560
Speaker 3: next election.

172
00:08:36,520 --> 00:08:39,480
Speaker 2: So if your hunt, then you throw your full support behind.

173
00:08:40,240 --> 00:08:43,560
Speaker 2: Oh if Trump's not going to say you're still a

174
00:08:43,559 --> 00:08:46,800
Speaker 2: sitting member of Congress. Remember you're still sitting in the House,

175
00:08:47,320 --> 00:08:49,920
Speaker 2: you still go to Washington every week. You still got

176
00:08:49,960 --> 00:08:51,960
Speaker 2: to play nice with all your fellow Republicans. So do

177
00:08:52,000 --> 00:08:54,120
Speaker 2: you come out and you throw your full support, You're

178
00:08:54,160 --> 00:08:55,920
Speaker 2: thirteen percent behind.

179
00:09:02,360 --> 00:09:04,520
Speaker 3: Whoever Trump throws this floor behind.

180
00:09:05,679 --> 00:09:08,000
Speaker 2: You know, I want to hear you Texans today too,

181
00:09:08,120 --> 00:09:10,320
Speaker 2: at eight five five Stagall. I really would. I would

182
00:09:10,320 --> 00:09:11,959
Speaker 2: love to hear from you Texans because I know we've

183
00:09:12,000 --> 00:09:15,920
Speaker 2: got a robust presence in the lone Star state. How

184
00:09:15,920 --> 00:09:17,840
Speaker 2: does this shake out? Does this concern you a little bit?

185
00:09:17,840 --> 00:09:22,240
Speaker 2: Could this fake preacher squeak in this tall rico? You

186
00:09:22,280 --> 00:09:24,520
Speaker 2: know they're running a lot of fake preachers right now.

187
00:09:24,760 --> 00:09:26,839
Speaker 2: I just happen to have a little personal insight into

188
00:09:26,920 --> 00:09:31,440
Speaker 2: something to keep a sharp eye on. In Kansas, there

189
00:09:31,559 --> 00:09:35,600
Speaker 2: is a guy named Adam Hamilton who is a United Methodist.

190
00:09:35,760 --> 00:09:39,360
Speaker 2: He's a very, very very big presence in the United

191
00:09:39,400 --> 00:09:42,760
Speaker 2: Methodist Church in North America. In fact, I would say

192
00:09:42,840 --> 00:09:49,359
Speaker 2: that Adam Hamilton is probably the leading voice amongst Methodists

193
00:09:50,160 --> 00:09:55,320
Speaker 2: in North America today. And what does that mean exactly?

194
00:09:55,360 --> 00:09:58,840
Speaker 2: Why would I bring that up, Well, because the North

195
00:09:58,880 --> 00:10:04,440
Speaker 2: American United Methodists church has split dramatically. Well let's split,

196
00:10:04,640 --> 00:10:09,480
Speaker 2: I guess globally. Really United Methodists used to be a

197
00:10:09,520 --> 00:10:17,800
Speaker 2: Bible believing traditional I don't want to say organization, but

198
00:10:18,000 --> 00:10:21,360
Speaker 2: I would just say as a denomination, it was as

199
00:10:21,840 --> 00:10:25,480
Speaker 2: conservative once upon a time, founded by John Wesley, as

200
00:10:25,520 --> 00:10:29,839
Speaker 2: any Southern Baptist Convention church was. I mean I was

201
00:10:29,960 --> 00:10:33,440
Speaker 2: raised in it. I sat in a pew with my

202
00:10:33,880 --> 00:10:36,920
Speaker 2: grandparents every Sunday in a United Methodist church in a

203
00:10:36,920 --> 00:10:39,520
Speaker 2: small town. So I know what it used to be

204
00:10:39,679 --> 00:10:41,440
Speaker 2: and I know what it became over the issue of

205
00:10:41,520 --> 00:10:46,560
Speaker 2: LGBTQ stuff and trans stuff. And this guy Adam Hamilton

206
00:10:46,840 --> 00:10:49,079
Speaker 2: in the state of Kansas. It's in the Kansas City,

207
00:10:49,080 --> 00:10:55,160
Speaker 2: Missouri and Kansas City suburb. He's on the Kansas side.

208
00:10:56,040 --> 00:10:58,839
Speaker 2: He has built a huge church and now he's one

209
00:10:58,880 --> 00:11:02,040
Speaker 2: of the lead voices on the LGBTQ stuff in the

210
00:11:02,160 --> 00:11:06,680
Speaker 2: United Methodist Church. While the global body got together over

211
00:11:06,679 --> 00:11:08,680
Speaker 2: the years and have voted on this issue, and he

212
00:11:08,760 --> 00:11:12,439
Speaker 2: has been the driving force behind North American United Methodists

213
00:11:13,440 --> 00:11:18,720
Speaker 2: welcoming in and marrying gay couples, embracing transgender issues and

214
00:11:18,720 --> 00:11:22,200
Speaker 2: the like. And it has split the church. And so

215
00:11:22,240 --> 00:11:24,800
Speaker 2: the United Methodist Church has this huge schism right now

216
00:11:24,840 --> 00:11:28,680
Speaker 2: going on. I am no longer a Methodist because of

217
00:11:28,720 --> 00:11:30,920
Speaker 2: a number of things, but that's a big one. And

218
00:11:30,960 --> 00:11:33,200
Speaker 2: so now I tell you all that to say, in

219
00:11:33,240 --> 00:11:37,640
Speaker 2: the state of Kansas, who's considering an independent run. He

220
00:11:37,800 --> 00:11:40,720
Speaker 2: just announced last week that he's thinking about an independent

221
00:11:40,800 --> 00:11:46,319
Speaker 2: run against the sitting senator there, Marshall, doctor Roger Marshall.

222
00:11:46,400 --> 00:11:50,920
Speaker 2: This guy Adam Hamilton ed and he's a preacher. So

223
00:11:52,000 --> 00:11:56,439
Speaker 2: notice a theme. The Democrats are trotting out the preachers

224
00:11:57,400 --> 00:12:02,559
Speaker 2: to run as independence or moderate Democrats. Will it work?

225
00:12:03,960 --> 00:12:08,760
Speaker 3: Uh, Kansas surprises, Ah, it might. It might.

226
00:12:09,360 --> 00:12:12,280
Speaker 2: Remember that woman, that Democrat that was weeping and crying

227
00:12:12,320 --> 00:12:14,360
Speaker 2: that she wanted to vote. We played that clip a

228
00:12:14,360 --> 00:12:16,480
Speaker 2: couple of weeks ago. She she wanted to vote for

229
00:12:16,600 --> 00:12:20,240
Speaker 2: Jasmine Crockett, but she didn't think she could win. She

230
00:12:20,320 --> 00:12:22,480
Speaker 2: wanted to vote for someone who could win. She basically

231
00:12:22,520 --> 00:12:27,880
Speaker 2: admitted that anybody that's a hard leftist can't actually win

232
00:12:27,920 --> 00:12:31,000
Speaker 2: in Texas, and so supposedly that's why this tallar Rico guy,

233
00:12:31,040 --> 00:12:35,679
Speaker 2: the Fake Preacher, ended up walking away with it because

234
00:12:35,720 --> 00:12:38,280
Speaker 2: supposedly democ and he just told me during the break

235
00:12:38,280 --> 00:12:40,600
Speaker 2: that all of his leftist buddies that he still talks to,

236
00:12:40,960 --> 00:12:42,520
Speaker 2: I don't know how he does it. That's why he's

237
00:12:42,559 --> 00:12:47,000
Speaker 2: the executive producer. He continues to fraternize on social media

238
00:12:47,000 --> 00:12:50,640
Speaker 2: with leftists. I would imagine I would do self harm

239
00:12:50,679 --> 00:12:53,560
Speaker 2: if I spent any time at all. I mean, you know,

240
00:12:53,720 --> 00:12:59,040
Speaker 2: just the troll hatred that exists generally is enough for

241
00:12:59,120 --> 00:13:02,480
Speaker 2: me on social media that I would purposely be following

242
00:13:02,559 --> 00:13:05,960
Speaker 2: people on social media that are leftists and interacting with them.

243
00:13:06,000 --> 00:13:07,640
Speaker 2: I don't know how you do it, but I'm glad

244
00:13:07,679 --> 00:13:10,680
Speaker 2: you do. It's oppo research. And Ed tells me that

245
00:13:10,760 --> 00:13:14,080
Speaker 2: his leftist pals are very excited about the Fake Preacher

246
00:13:14,120 --> 00:13:15,600
Speaker 2: in Texas. Is that right? Yes?

247
00:13:15,720 --> 00:13:19,440
Speaker 3: Yeah, the Fake Preacher trends very well among Facebook friends

248
00:13:19,480 --> 00:13:22,880
Speaker 3: and leftists alike. They're very excited about, you know, because

249
00:13:22,920 --> 00:13:25,920
Speaker 3: his the way he preaches, the way he talks about

250
00:13:26,000 --> 00:13:27,720
Speaker 3: Christianity is very sexy.

251
00:13:28,440 --> 00:13:31,520
Speaker 2: It's a ropodope, folks. It's a rope adope, and the

252
00:13:31,559 --> 00:13:35,160
Speaker 2: Democrats have figured it out. They have figured out that

253
00:13:35,200 --> 00:13:38,760
Speaker 2: they're going to try to now use the pulpit as

254
00:13:38,800 --> 00:13:42,680
Speaker 2: a way to trick you into thinking they're moderates. There's

255
00:13:42,720 --> 00:13:45,480
Speaker 2: really not much difference, and in fact they're moderates with

256
00:13:45,640 --> 00:13:49,400
Speaker 2: the love of Jesus. I mean, never mind that everything

257
00:13:49,440 --> 00:13:53,319
Speaker 2: they stand for, everything they would vote for, every issue

258
00:13:53,760 --> 00:14:00,280
Speaker 2: that they support is anathetical to scripture. Forget that, and

259
00:14:00,360 --> 00:14:02,760
Speaker 2: we can go down the list. There's not enough time

260
00:14:03,160 --> 00:14:06,880
Speaker 2: from abortion to marriage to the trans stuff alone, and

261
00:14:06,920 --> 00:14:10,080
Speaker 2: there's more. But they're going to start doing this and

262
00:14:10,120 --> 00:14:12,400
Speaker 2: so I, just as usual, I want you to be

263
00:14:12,480 --> 00:14:14,920
Speaker 2: aware here on the Chris Stigall Show that you're ahead

264
00:14:14,920 --> 00:14:18,040
Speaker 2: of the curb. I am letting you know that the

265
00:14:18,080 --> 00:14:24,360
Speaker 2: Democrats are going to increasingly embrace this. Well. Meg Basham

266
00:14:24,400 --> 00:14:25,680
Speaker 2: wrote a book about it. We might have to bring

267
00:14:25,760 --> 00:14:27,280
Speaker 2: her back in on this. She wrote a book called

268
00:14:27,320 --> 00:14:30,040
Speaker 2: Shepherd's for Sale a while back, and that was really

269
00:14:30,080 --> 00:14:34,040
Speaker 2: about evangelical Christian pastors who have sort of sold out

270
00:14:34,400 --> 00:14:39,600
Speaker 2: to left wing causes, never mind more squishy moderate string

271
00:14:39,680 --> 00:14:42,640
Speaker 2: from the Bible types like Adam Hamilton and Kansas in

272
00:14:43,120 --> 00:14:45,560
Speaker 2: the United Methodist church. But that is the new play.

273
00:14:46,320 --> 00:14:49,880
Speaker 2: Democrats are telegraphing what they intend to do here. Remember

274
00:14:49,920 --> 00:14:53,880
Speaker 2: the crying woman. I want jessmit Crocket because she's honest.

275
00:14:53,920 --> 00:14:57,600
Speaker 2: Remember she's swearing and she's all she's you know, she's streaked,

276
00:14:57,640 --> 00:15:01,000
Speaker 2: tough and she's mouthy and she swear and she just

277
00:15:01,040 --> 00:15:04,720
Speaker 2: tells it straight up what she believes. She's honest, much

278
00:15:04,720 --> 00:15:09,200
Speaker 2: like AOC, much like Zoronmandani. They're honest about who they are.

279
00:15:10,360 --> 00:15:13,640
Speaker 2: And for that I really appreciate it. These progressive leftists,

280
00:15:13,680 --> 00:15:16,320
Speaker 2: these younger ones in particular, they just tell you straight

281
00:15:16,400 --> 00:15:19,640
Speaker 2: up everything they believe. But the Democrats, they're being honest.

282
00:15:19,680 --> 00:15:23,000
Speaker 2: The voters they're weeping on camera. I want to vote

283
00:15:23,000 --> 00:15:25,160
Speaker 2: for her because she is really tough and she tells

284
00:15:25,200 --> 00:15:28,960
Speaker 2: the truth that she's who. But she can't win, remember that, Eddie,

285
00:15:29,080 --> 00:15:29,840
Speaker 2: the woman crying.

286
00:15:29,880 --> 00:15:31,720
Speaker 7: She can't win, So I had to vote for the

287
00:15:31,720 --> 00:15:35,320
Speaker 7: fake preacher because she knows the fake preacher is more

288
00:15:35,440 --> 00:15:38,400
Speaker 7: likely to trick people into voting for him to push

289
00:15:38,440 --> 00:15:42,440
Speaker 7: her progressive politics instead of the lady who's the lunatic and.

290
00:15:42,400 --> 00:15:45,240
Speaker 8: Tells everybody she's a lunatic. And the funny how that

291
00:15:45,280 --> 00:15:49,040
Speaker 8: works out the white lady can't vote for the black woman,

292
00:15:49,400 --> 00:15:52,120
Speaker 8: even even though she knows in her heart that that's right,

293
00:15:53,040 --> 00:15:53,640
Speaker 8: but knows.

294
00:15:53,480 --> 00:15:53,720
Speaker 3: That that.

295
00:15:55,880 --> 00:15:58,960
Speaker 2: Is every progressive voter in this country, every one of

296
00:15:59,000 --> 00:16:04,600
Speaker 2: them who's smarts. I want Jasmine crocket but that's not

297
00:16:04,680 --> 00:16:07,360
Speaker 2: going to sell in the general election. So I need

298
00:16:07,480 --> 00:16:12,520
Speaker 2: Jasmine Crockett, but dressed up in costume. So let's go

299
00:16:12,600 --> 00:16:16,520
Speaker 2: with the white fake preacher guy. He's more likely to

300
00:16:16,720 --> 00:16:20,480
Speaker 2: win in Texas. He'll vote and support the exact same

301
00:16:20,520 --> 00:16:24,640
Speaker 2: issues Jasmine Crockett does, but he sells it differently. So

302
00:16:24,680 --> 00:16:26,720
Speaker 2: we got to go with him because she's too rough

303
00:16:26,760 --> 00:16:29,240
Speaker 2: around the edges to win in general. That's the American

304
00:16:29,320 --> 00:16:32,560
Speaker 2: left today. They're coming in costume, folks, just eyes wide

305
00:16:32,600 --> 00:16:35,080
Speaker 2: open about it. I want everybody to be clear. The

306
00:16:35,120 --> 00:16:37,160
Speaker 2: fake preacher in Texas is a come up, just quickly.

307
00:16:37,200 --> 00:16:39,920
Speaker 2: I'm sorry. I don't mean to be labor the Texas thing.

308
00:16:40,080 --> 00:16:42,280
Speaker 2: Iran looms large and I'm gonna get to it. But

309
00:16:42,640 --> 00:16:45,000
Speaker 2: John has been waiting in Texas, and I just want

310
00:16:45,040 --> 00:16:47,320
Speaker 2: to take the pulse of someone in Texas at the moment,

311
00:16:47,360 --> 00:16:52,120
Speaker 2: because I'm deeply interested in this and I don't lie

312
00:16:52,400 --> 00:16:56,280
Speaker 2: a little leery a little worried if a softer Betto

313
00:16:56,840 --> 00:17:01,840
Speaker 2: came on. Betto was more or less pretty forthcoming about

314
00:17:01,880 --> 00:17:06,320
Speaker 2: what he believed his progressive politics, but he didn't have

315
00:17:06,359 --> 00:17:10,040
Speaker 2: the soft preacher delivery. This tatar Rico guy, I think

316
00:17:10,160 --> 00:17:15,440
Speaker 2: is uniquely dangerous. As these two prominent Republicans battled out,

317
00:17:15,960 --> 00:17:20,560
Speaker 2: Paxton and Cornyn, so John waiting patiently in Texas. Good morning,

318
00:17:21,440 --> 00:17:23,919
Speaker 2: this is going to be a big battle, expensive battle.

319
00:17:23,920 --> 00:17:27,760
Speaker 9: To May, good morning, good morning, Thanks for taking my call.

320
00:17:28,200 --> 00:17:32,320
Speaker 9: Let me put in my two cents. Hey, I went

321
00:17:32,359 --> 00:17:34,960
Speaker 9: over there. I like to vote, but really I'm kind

322
00:17:35,000 --> 00:17:36,360
Speaker 9: of disenfranchised.

323
00:17:36,600 --> 00:17:36,960
Speaker 6: I don't.

324
00:17:37,000 --> 00:17:40,239
Speaker 9: I think they're all crooks. So you know that's just

325
00:17:40,400 --> 00:17:41,160
Speaker 9: my opinion.

326
00:17:41,640 --> 00:17:43,360
Speaker 2: You don't like one of.

327
00:17:43,320 --> 00:17:46,520
Speaker 9: Them, but well no, I mean, and I like certains

328
00:17:46,560 --> 00:17:49,440
Speaker 9: of them. You know, Hey, I like President Trump. I've

329
00:17:49,440 --> 00:17:52,320
Speaker 9: got my core issues. I'm a turbul in this guy.

330
00:17:52,400 --> 00:17:55,639
Speaker 9: You can't have lifers in there. Lifers in there are wrong,

331
00:17:56,080 --> 00:17:59,040
Speaker 9: you know. You can't have people that make laws that

332
00:17:59,320 --> 00:18:02,879
Speaker 9: aren't a to them. I mean, gosh, and that just

333
00:18:02,920 --> 00:18:06,080
Speaker 9: seems common sense. And I can't believe that people don't

334
00:18:06,119 --> 00:18:06,480
Speaker 9: see that.

335
00:18:07,440 --> 00:18:09,320
Speaker 2: Are you a lifelong Texan? Have you been there most

336
00:18:09,320 --> 00:18:13,040
Speaker 2: of your life. Yes, yeah, okay, So here's my question

337
00:18:13,160 --> 00:18:17,040
Speaker 2: for you. You know, Texas, is it possible a progressive

338
00:18:17,240 --> 00:18:21,280
Speaker 2: who dresses himself up as a pastor could sway and

339
00:18:21,359 --> 00:18:24,040
Speaker 2: finally get a Texas Blue senator?

340
00:18:24,560 --> 00:18:27,119
Speaker 9: Oh? Absolutely absolutely?

341
00:18:27,680 --> 00:18:29,119
Speaker 2: I mean, is a real threat.

342
00:18:29,760 --> 00:18:32,800
Speaker 9: I am Hey, you know I throw my votes away.

343
00:18:33,040 --> 00:18:37,680
Speaker 9: I voted for Ross Perot, you know, I mean, hey,

344
00:18:38,400 --> 00:18:40,119
Speaker 9: I mean I agree those people.

345
00:18:40,560 --> 00:18:40,720
Speaker 10: You know.

346
00:18:41,000 --> 00:18:42,960
Speaker 2: All right, Well, you're not making me feel better, John,

347
00:18:42,960 --> 00:18:44,840
Speaker 2: I was looking for you to tell me there's no

348
00:18:45,080 --> 00:18:49,720
Speaker 2: shot Paxton or Cornyan will handily beat even a progressive

349
00:18:50,600 --> 00:18:52,960
Speaker 2: masters a preacher. But you're saying it's possible he sneaks

350
00:18:53,000 --> 00:18:53,280
Speaker 2: in there.

351
00:18:53,760 --> 00:18:59,160
Speaker 9: Well, oh absolutely, well, pastor. You know, Paxton and Cornyn

352
00:18:59,359 --> 00:19:02,760
Speaker 9: they're both politicians. You know I would have liked them

353
00:19:02,800 --> 00:19:05,800
Speaker 9: both have gone out, but you know, and I don't know.

354
00:19:05,960 --> 00:19:10,359
Speaker 2: Yeah, okay, well, John, stay in touch. That was not Eddie.

355
00:19:10,359 --> 00:19:12,879
Speaker 2: I was really hoping for something more uplifting. That didn't

356
00:19:12,960 --> 00:19:15,480
Speaker 2: inspire me at all. Now that makes me more worried

357
00:19:15,480 --> 00:19:16,480
Speaker 2: for you people in Texas.

358
00:19:16,760 --> 00:19:19,280
Speaker 3: No, but you know, if he feels bad, John, I

359
00:19:19,400 --> 00:19:20,440
Speaker 3: understand you feel bad.

360
00:19:20,560 --> 00:19:20,920
Speaker 9: Just know that.

361
00:19:21,000 --> 00:19:22,960
Speaker 3: Jasmine Crockett feels much worse this morning.

362
00:19:23,000 --> 00:19:28,399
Speaker 2: Okay, we'll enjoy that for now. Okay, let's get into it.

363
00:19:28,520 --> 00:19:31,160
Speaker 2: The latest on Iran. Of course, we continue to cover

364
00:19:31,200 --> 00:19:34,040
Speaker 2: it here. We think there may be a Pentagon press

365
00:19:34,080 --> 00:19:36,960
Speaker 2: briefing this morning, and it may happen during this show.

366
00:19:37,000 --> 00:19:39,479
Speaker 2: If in fact, any of that happens, of course, any

367
00:19:39,520 --> 00:19:42,560
Speaker 2: breaking news or any press conferences, the President or otherwise

368
00:19:42,800 --> 00:19:44,679
Speaker 2: has anything to say on that, we will jump in

369
00:19:44,720 --> 00:19:47,600
Speaker 2: here and join it live. But in the meantime, an

370
00:19:47,680 --> 00:19:50,920
Speaker 2: update from Central Command US Central Command, headed by Admiral

371
00:19:50,960 --> 00:19:51,800
Speaker 2: Brad Cooper.

372
00:19:52,840 --> 00:19:57,760
Speaker 4: With this update yesterday, more than fifty thousand troops, two

373
00:19:57,840 --> 00:20:01,400
Speaker 4: hundred fighters, two aircraft carriers, and bombers from the United

374
00:20:01,440 --> 00:20:04,760
Speaker 4: States are participating this operation, and more capability is on

375
00:20:04,800 --> 00:20:08,760
Speaker 4: the way. These forces ring a massive amount of firepower,

376
00:20:09,000 --> 00:20:11,240
Speaker 4: representing the largest build up by the US in the

377
00:20:11,280 --> 00:20:14,239
Speaker 4: Middle East in a generation. Now we're less than one

378
00:20:14,320 --> 00:20:17,080
Speaker 4: hundred hours into this operation and we've already struck nearly

379
00:20:17,119 --> 00:20:21,320
Speaker 4: two thousand targets with more than two thousand munitions. We

380
00:20:21,400 --> 00:20:25,639
Speaker 4: have severely degraded Iran's air defenses and destroyed hundreds of

381
00:20:25,680 --> 00:20:29,240
Speaker 4: Iran's ballistic missiles, launchers, and drones, and in simple terms,

382
00:20:29,400 --> 00:20:32,280
Speaker 4: we're focused on shooting all the things that can shoot

383
00:20:32,320 --> 00:20:35,160
Speaker 4: at us. Our B two bombers and B one bombers

384
00:20:35,240 --> 00:20:39,680
Speaker 4: have executed uncontested surgical strikes against multiple missile facilities deep

385
00:20:39,720 --> 00:20:42,560
Speaker 4: inside Iran, and then just last night, a B fifty

386
00:20:42,600 --> 00:20:45,919
Speaker 4: two bomber force struck ballistic missile and command control posts.

387
00:20:46,840 --> 00:20:50,920
Speaker 4: We are also sinking the Iranian navy, the entire navy.

388
00:20:51,520 --> 00:20:54,960
Speaker 4: Thus far, we've destroyed seventeen Iranian ships, including the most

389
00:20:55,000 --> 00:20:58,480
Speaker 4: operational Iranian submarine that now has a hole in its side.

390
00:20:58,640 --> 00:21:01,399
Speaker 4: Having said this, we are seeing Iran's ability to hit

391
00:21:01,520 --> 00:21:05,520
Speaker 4: US and our partners is declining, while our combat power,

392
00:21:05,600 --> 00:21:08,639
Speaker 4: on the other hand, is building. And my overall operational

393
00:21:08,640 --> 00:21:10,720
Speaker 4: assessment is that we are ahead of our game plan.

394
00:21:11,480 --> 00:21:14,000
Speaker 4: Along the way, every single branch of our military is

395
00:21:14,040 --> 00:21:15,640
Speaker 4: achieving on precedent and success.

396
00:21:18,200 --> 00:21:20,800
Speaker 2: And one of the more notable things we brought up

397
00:21:20,800 --> 00:21:26,400
Speaker 2: on the show yesterday, and that is Iranian technology being

398
00:21:26,520 --> 00:21:29,879
Speaker 2: used against Iranians. This is something that I had not

399
00:21:30,840 --> 00:21:34,440
Speaker 2: heretofore understood about the Iranian people and their government specifically,

400
00:21:34,520 --> 00:21:37,680
Speaker 2: but they came up with drone technology we didn't have.

401
00:21:38,560 --> 00:21:44,000
Speaker 2: Typically it's our stuff that in combat people like China

402
00:21:44,119 --> 00:21:47,040
Speaker 2: or others Russia, they will seize our stuff, munitions or

403
00:21:47,080 --> 00:21:51,880
Speaker 2: whatever technology from the field that doesn't go kaboom, they'll

404
00:21:51,920 --> 00:21:53,879
Speaker 2: pick it up, take it back to the lab, study it,

405
00:21:53,880 --> 00:21:56,560
Speaker 2: and replicate it. In this rare instance, and we talked

406
00:21:56,560 --> 00:21:59,960
Speaker 2: about it yesterday, the Iranians have come up with drone

407
00:22:00,040 --> 00:22:05,320
Speaker 2: technology we didn't possess, and I was, in fact, and

408
00:22:05,359 --> 00:22:07,120
Speaker 2: you might remind me I want to talk to Keith

409
00:22:07,200 --> 00:22:11,760
Speaker 2: Kellogg about that. Like that speaks to how advanced Iran

410
00:22:11,920 --> 00:22:16,159
Speaker 2: really is. I always kind of consider them third world

411
00:22:16,200 --> 00:22:20,560
Speaker 2: tinhorn despot types. But that's pretty sophisticated stuff. If we're

412
00:22:21,000 --> 00:22:24,800
Speaker 2: taking some of their weaponry, repurposing it, learning from it,

413
00:22:24,880 --> 00:22:27,359
Speaker 2: making it better, and shooting it back at them, is

414
00:22:27,480 --> 00:22:28,879
Speaker 2: that kind of an interesting development?

415
00:22:29,400 --> 00:22:33,920
Speaker 3: Yes, and especially since we know that Iranian drones were

416
00:22:34,040 --> 00:22:37,399
Speaker 3: used in the like Russia was buying them from Iran

417
00:22:37,520 --> 00:22:40,119
Speaker 3: to US in the Ukraine War. So yes, this is

418
00:22:40,160 --> 00:22:42,440
Speaker 3: it's pretty scary the capability they did have.

419
00:22:42,720 --> 00:22:47,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, and that says something to me about the sophistication

420
00:22:47,640 --> 00:22:50,960
Speaker 2: of Iran and what the president knew and now even

421
00:22:51,040 --> 00:22:53,960
Speaker 2: more credible reason. It seems to me to believe that

422
00:22:54,000 --> 00:22:57,439
Speaker 2: these people were actually if you doubted it before, the

423
00:22:57,480 --> 00:23:00,399
Speaker 2: fact that we're using their technology on them, stuff we

424
00:23:00,480 --> 00:23:04,240
Speaker 2: didn't have. We're the lead dog on weaponry by a lot.

425
00:23:04,920 --> 00:23:07,560
Speaker 2: I've never known that to not be true, and in

426
00:23:07,600 --> 00:23:10,199
Speaker 2: this instance it sounds. And here's the Sentom commander again

427
00:23:10,520 --> 00:23:13,119
Speaker 2: revealing just that very point in number fifty.

428
00:23:13,960 --> 00:23:17,360
Speaker 4: The first time US Central Commands Drone task Force called

429
00:23:17,480 --> 00:23:21,080
Speaker 4: Task Force Scorpions Strike launched countless one way attack drones

430
00:23:21,320 --> 00:23:24,679
Speaker 4: achieving massive effects. I'd like to point out these drones

431
00:23:24,680 --> 00:23:28,120
Speaker 4: were originally an Iranian design. We took them back to America,

432
00:23:28,400 --> 00:23:30,720
Speaker 4: made them better, and fired them right back at Iran.

433
00:23:31,960 --> 00:23:34,199
Speaker 4: I just could not be prouder of our men and

434
00:23:34,240 --> 00:23:38,400
Speaker 4: women in uniform, leveraging innovation to create dilemmas for the enemy.

435
00:23:38,720 --> 00:23:42,240
Speaker 4: There is no adversary to determine, no mission too difficult

436
00:23:42,320 --> 00:23:46,600
Speaker 4: for the great soldiers, sailors, airmen, marines, guardians, and coastguardsmen

437
00:23:46,800 --> 00:23:49,120
Speaker 4: that make up the most powerful military of the world

438
00:23:49,119 --> 00:23:53,040
Speaker 4: has ever seen. Our military objectives are crystal clear, and

439
00:23:53,080 --> 00:23:57,000
Speaker 4: our people are executing an immensely complex and historic mission

440
00:23:57,280 --> 00:24:01,720
Speaker 4: with relentless lethality, conviction, and profession. And we've just begun.

441
00:24:02,280 --> 00:24:05,440
Speaker 4: But I have the utmost confidence that we, alongside our partners,

442
00:24:05,600 --> 00:24:08,360
Speaker 4: will absolutely achieve our military objectives.

443
00:24:10,160 --> 00:24:14,400
Speaker 2: Meanwhile, at the White House, the President hosted the German Chancellor.

444
00:24:14,880 --> 00:24:18,159
Speaker 2: The Europeans and our friends to the north in Canada

445
00:24:18,160 --> 00:24:21,520
Speaker 2: are starting to mouth off, and President Trump has had

446
00:24:21,520 --> 00:24:27,240
Speaker 2: plenty to say about it. Spain, in particular, Spain's Pedro

447
00:24:27,480 --> 00:24:31,399
Speaker 2: Sanchez hits back at Trump and his threat to sever trade,

448
00:24:31,600 --> 00:24:33,560
Speaker 2: saying no to war. Here's first of all, what President

449
00:24:33,560 --> 00:24:36,480
Speaker 2: Trump said yesterday about Spain and their unwillingness to I

450
00:24:36,560 --> 00:24:39,920
Speaker 2: love at one boy. Trump basically says, well, it's cute

451
00:24:39,920 --> 00:24:42,280
Speaker 2: that Spain says we can't use their basis or whatever,

452
00:24:42,320 --> 00:24:45,520
Speaker 2: but we will if we want. But anyway, okay, fine,

453
00:24:45,560 --> 00:24:52,359
Speaker 2: we don't need them. This is number forty. I'm sorry, guys,

454
00:24:52,400 --> 00:24:56,680
Speaker 2: number forty. Some of the European like Spain has been terrible.

455
00:24:57,320 --> 00:25:02,480
Speaker 11: In fact, I told Scott to cut off all dealings

456
00:25:02,520 --> 00:25:07,040
Speaker 11: with Spain, and now Spain actually said that we can't

457
00:25:07,160 --> 00:25:08,800
Speaker 11: use their basis and that we don't.

458
00:25:09,040 --> 00:25:10,680
Speaker 1: We could use that bas if we want, We could

459
00:25:10,720 --> 00:25:11,760
Speaker 1: just fly in and use it.

460
00:25:12,200 --> 00:25:15,040
Speaker 12: By the way, I'm not happy with the UK either.

461
00:25:16,800 --> 00:25:19,359
Speaker 11: That island that you were at about the lease. Okay,

462
00:25:19,440 --> 00:25:21,040
Speaker 11: he made it for whatever is and he made a

463
00:25:21,119 --> 00:25:24,000
Speaker 11: lease of the island. Somebody came and took it away

464
00:25:24,000 --> 00:25:28,560
Speaker 11: from him, and it's taken three or four days for

465
00:25:28,680 --> 00:25:31,160
Speaker 11: us to work out where we can land. There would

466
00:25:31,160 --> 00:25:33,399
Speaker 11: have been much more convenient landing there as opposed to

467
00:25:33,440 --> 00:25:34,920
Speaker 11: flying many extra hours.

468
00:25:35,560 --> 00:25:37,720
Speaker 1: So we are very surprised this is okay.

469
00:25:39,160 --> 00:25:41,080
Speaker 2: And then there was Mark Carney up there in Canada,

470
00:25:41,119 --> 00:25:42,120
Speaker 2: give me number forty two.

471
00:25:43,640 --> 00:25:47,080
Speaker 13: We do, however, take this position with regret because the

472
00:25:47,160 --> 00:25:50,919
Speaker 13: current conflict is another example of the failure of the

473
00:25:50,960 --> 00:25:54,840
Speaker 13: international order. The United States and Israel have acted without

474
00:25:54,880 --> 00:26:00,600
Speaker 13: engaging the United Nations or consulting allies, including Canada.

475
00:26:03,280 --> 00:26:05,480
Speaker 2: Now do you remember the guy that called Trump Daddy?

476
00:26:06,119 --> 00:26:10,359
Speaker 2: Remember Mark rut Ruti Ruta r u Tte. He's I

477
00:26:10,359 --> 00:26:14,160
Speaker 2: think from the Netherlands. He runs NATO. Now, this guy

478
00:26:14,240 --> 00:26:18,600
Speaker 2: loves Trump, and whatever you hear about international leaders saying no,

479
00:26:18,880 --> 00:26:21,160
Speaker 2: we're not gonna help Trump or whatever, this guy keeps

480
00:26:21,160 --> 00:26:24,280
Speaker 2: coming out and saying yeah, well, I take private phone

481
00:26:24,280 --> 00:26:27,280
Speaker 2: calls and everybody's thrilled with what Trump's doing. So trust me,

482
00:26:27,359 --> 00:26:29,400
Speaker 2: they may say something publicly, but they're telling me over

483
00:26:29,400 --> 00:26:32,639
Speaker 2: the phone something different. I believe this heat of NATO.

484
00:26:33,600 --> 00:26:34,760
Speaker 2: Of course, well, Europe.

485
00:26:34,480 --> 00:26:36,880
Speaker 3: Should be happy that, Arren, you're Europe should be happy.

486
00:26:36,920 --> 00:26:41,640
Speaker 3: Iran's dearmed. Yeah, no, that's right, that's right. And Canada,

487
00:26:41,760 --> 00:26:44,720
Speaker 3: I mean, take a seat. We've got it handled. I

488
00:26:44,760 --> 00:26:47,359
Speaker 3: love Trump. I will take your basic we want, we

489
00:26:47,400 --> 00:26:47,879
Speaker 3: don't need it.

490
00:26:47,920 --> 00:26:54,399
Speaker 2: But it's hard to imagine what folks in places like

491
00:26:54,520 --> 00:26:57,959
Speaker 2: Israel are dealing with right now. In particular, you know,

492
00:26:58,080 --> 00:27:01,120
Speaker 2: as this combat rages on on, Paint a picture here

493
00:27:01,240 --> 00:27:04,880
Speaker 2: that it's midnight and sirens are blaring and you only

494
00:27:04,880 --> 00:27:08,200
Speaker 2: have seconds to grab your child. And now, if you're elderly,

495
00:27:08,280 --> 00:27:12,080
Speaker 2: I want you to consider that getting downstairs. And after

496
00:27:12,119 --> 00:27:13,639
Speaker 2: all of that, you end up on a bomb shelter

497
00:27:13,720 --> 00:27:16,040
Speaker 2: for hours, maybe even days, because you can't make that

498
00:27:16,119 --> 00:27:19,480
Speaker 2: trek again. And that's what's happening in Israel right now,

499
00:27:19,520 --> 00:27:23,560
Speaker 2: as Operation Epic Fury continues, and our partners at IFCJ,

500
00:27:24,080 --> 00:27:27,159
Speaker 2: the International Fellowship of Christians and Jews, they're on the

501
00:27:27,160 --> 00:27:32,200
Speaker 2: ground to assist and make sure that people in harm's way,

502
00:27:33,080 --> 00:27:35,600
Speaker 2: with our allies and friends in Israel, in the Holy Land,

503
00:27:36,640 --> 00:27:38,639
Speaker 2: those people on the ground trying to survive. That's what

504
00:27:38,680 --> 00:27:42,960
Speaker 2: IFCJ does best in times like this, the International Fellowship

505
00:27:42,960 --> 00:27:47,000
Speaker 2: of Christians and Jews, they're there bringing life saving aid,

506
00:27:48,080 --> 00:27:50,920
Speaker 2: emergency supplies to the most vulnerable. So if you've ever

507
00:27:50,960 --> 00:27:54,320
Speaker 2: wondered what it looks like to stand for Israel right

508
00:27:54,359 --> 00:27:57,239
Speaker 2: now and stand for good against evil, this is the

509
00:27:57,240 --> 00:27:59,240
Speaker 2: best demonstration of it that you're ever going to see,

510
00:27:59,240 --> 00:28:01,200
Speaker 2: the work that I have CJ does. So I hope

511
00:28:01,200 --> 00:28:04,439
Speaker 2: you'll join Christians around the world in praying for Israel

512
00:28:04,480 --> 00:28:07,479
Speaker 2: first of all, and her people and the brave troops

513
00:28:07,520 --> 00:28:09,480
Speaker 2: most of all who are putting their lives on the

514
00:28:09,520 --> 00:28:14,520

518

519
00:28:27,720 --> 00:28:32,520
Speaker 2: That's their website, Support IFCJ dot org. I hope that

520
00:28:32,560 --> 00:28:36,280
Speaker 2: you do. President Trump said something yesterday when asked about

521
00:28:36,320 --> 00:28:41,120
Speaker 2: the worst case scenario in Iran in number thirty nine.

522
00:28:41,160 --> 00:28:45,120
Speaker 2: Here's what President Trump answered, what's the worst outcome here

523
00:28:45,120 --> 00:28:46,080
Speaker 2: that he could imagine?

524
00:28:46,720 --> 00:28:48,400
Speaker 1: Well, I don't know if there's a worst case. We

525
00:28:48,480 --> 00:28:55,120
Speaker 1: have very much beaten militarily from the military standpoint. They're

526
00:28:55,160 --> 00:28:58,000
Speaker 1: still lobbing some missiles. At some point they won't even

527
00:28:58,000 --> 00:28:59,760
Speaker 1: be able to do that because we're hitting all of

528
00:28:59,760 --> 00:29:03,240
Speaker 1: that areas, we're hitting all of the missile stock. You know,

529
00:29:03,320 --> 00:29:05,960
Speaker 1: they built up all these missiles over the last few years.

530
00:29:06,400 --> 00:29:07,200
Speaker 2: They had a lot of them.

531
00:29:07,240 --> 00:29:09,560
Speaker 11: They've shot a lot of them, and we're knocking out

532
00:29:09,560 --> 00:29:09,840
Speaker 11: a lot.

533
00:29:12,240 --> 00:29:14,120
Speaker 1: I guess the worst case would be we do this

534
00:29:14,280 --> 00:29:16,800
Speaker 1: and then somebody takes over who's as bad as the

535
00:29:16,840 --> 00:29:18,800
Speaker 1: previous person.

536
00:29:18,560 --> 00:29:19,400
Speaker 12: Right, That could happen.

537
00:29:20,360 --> 00:29:25,200
Speaker 2: We don't want that to happen. And that is one

538
00:29:25,200 --> 00:29:31,760
Speaker 2: of those things that I think will be a tough sell.

539
00:29:31,800 --> 00:29:34,320
Speaker 2: And there's a catch twenty two here for the Trump administration,

540
00:29:34,440 --> 00:29:37,240
Speaker 2: and it is this, if they start talking about what

541
00:29:37,280 --> 00:29:39,400
Speaker 2: they desire and a leader in Iran, then all of

542
00:29:39,440 --> 00:29:42,200
Speaker 2: a sudden, the discussion becomes what ed we talked about?

543
00:29:42,200 --> 00:29:45,320
Speaker 2: It Telsa Gabbard's famous phrase, She said, more than any other,

544
00:29:45,400 --> 00:29:47,280
Speaker 2: if you're playing a drinking game, you'd be drunk. When

545
00:29:47,320 --> 00:29:52,600
Speaker 2: Telsa Gabbard's had oh forever worse regime change, war regime

546
00:29:52,880 --> 00:29:56,400
Speaker 2: change war. Remember that phrase, because that is the phrase

547
00:29:57,240 --> 00:30:03,520
Speaker 2: that conservatives who voted Fornald Trump and libertarians or non

548
00:30:03,560 --> 00:30:08,800
Speaker 2: interventionalists or whatever you want to call them, regime change war.

549
00:30:09,480 --> 00:30:12,560
Speaker 2: That is what. Never mind the left, you know, suppose

550
00:30:12,600 --> 00:30:16,600
Speaker 2: that Trump voters are conservative critics right now, say President

551
00:30:16,640 --> 00:30:19,560
Speaker 2: Trump promised we'd never get in a regime change war. However,

552
00:30:19,680 --> 00:30:22,920
Speaker 2: having said that, Ed Trump just said, the worst case

553
00:30:22,960 --> 00:30:25,000
Speaker 2: scenario is we just blew the hell out of the

554
00:30:25,040 --> 00:30:29,440
Speaker 2: Iatola guy. And now the worst case is somebody as

555
00:30:29,520 --> 00:30:32,560
Speaker 2: radical may step in his place, and as it turns out,

556
00:30:33,800 --> 00:30:37,840
Speaker 2: his son is that guy. They I did think this

557
00:30:37,880 --> 00:30:40,040
Speaker 2: is kind of funny. There's an eighty eight member assembly

558
00:30:40,160 --> 00:30:43,640
Speaker 2: of experts. That's what they're called in Iran, the Assembly

559
00:30:43,680 --> 00:30:46,320
Speaker 2: of experts. They all got together again to pick a

560
00:30:46,320 --> 00:30:50,280
Speaker 2: new leader, and Israel went kaboom again and blew them up.

561
00:30:50,440 --> 00:30:52,280
Speaker 2: I would think if they're an assembly of experts, they

562
00:30:52,320 --> 00:30:54,960
Speaker 2: would have learned from their first assembly not to assemble.

563
00:30:55,640 --> 00:30:58,440
Speaker 2: If they're experts, ed, wouldn't that be your line of

564
00:30:58,440 --> 00:30:59,920
Speaker 2: thinking going forward if you're an expert.

565
00:31:00,080 --> 00:31:01,800
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think they have to have zoom in Iran,

566
00:31:01,880 --> 00:31:02,920
Speaker 3: right unless they baned that.

567
00:31:05,160 --> 00:31:07,160
Speaker 2: Why don't they take a page from everybody in the

568
00:31:07,240 --> 00:31:09,720
Speaker 2: United States who doesn't go into the office anymore. Exactly,

569
00:31:09,840 --> 00:31:12,480
Speaker 2: just zoom in, like, why do you have to gather?

570
00:31:12,720 --> 00:31:15,480
Speaker 2: So the assembly of experts got together after their last

571
00:31:15,520 --> 00:31:19,080
Speaker 2: meeting was blown to smithereens. The experts got together, and

572
00:31:19,120 --> 00:31:24,640
Speaker 2: they apparently picked the son of the Iyahtola. You know,

573
00:31:24,680 --> 00:31:28,239
Speaker 2: the Itola has been killed. So the Komani's son has

574
00:31:28,280 --> 00:31:32,840
Speaker 2: been chosen. And that's because apparently he wasn't in this

575
00:31:32,920 --> 00:31:35,280
Speaker 2: assembly of experts. After all, they were smart enough to

576
00:31:35,360 --> 00:31:38,800
Speaker 2: keep him aside. And now they've chosen this guy, they say.

577
00:31:38,800 --> 00:31:41,480
Speaker 2: That's from the Daily Mail today. Iran's new supreme leader

578
00:31:41,560 --> 00:31:47,800
Speaker 2: is named Ali Kamani or excuse me, h is named

579
00:31:47,800 --> 00:31:52,240
Speaker 2: as his successor. That is the sun So. He served

580
00:31:52,240 --> 00:31:55,800
Speaker 2: in the Iranian Armed Forces during the Iran Iraq War

581
00:31:55,880 --> 00:31:58,680
Speaker 2: and has believed to wield considerable influence behind the scenes.

582
00:31:58,720 --> 00:32:00,760
Speaker 2: He's been touted as impossible toss or to his father

583
00:32:00,800 --> 00:32:06,880
Speaker 2: for years. So, ed, what do you do here? Nobody

584
00:32:06,960 --> 00:32:10,920
Speaker 2: wants the son of the guy we just killed. Who's

585
00:32:11,080 --> 00:32:13,840
Speaker 2: the lunatic who's been amassing all of these nukes and

586
00:32:13,880 --> 00:32:16,960
Speaker 2: stockpiles for years? Nobody wants the sun to come in

587
00:32:17,040 --> 00:32:19,840
Speaker 2: and fill the vacuum. But Trump can't come out and

588
00:32:19,880 --> 00:32:23,880
Speaker 2: say we're invested in making sure he doesn't. So what

589
00:32:23,920 --> 00:32:26,120
Speaker 2: do you do if you're Trump? How do you frame this?

590
00:32:26,360 --> 00:32:27,320
Speaker 2: How do you tackle this?

591
00:32:28,320 --> 00:32:32,200
Speaker 3: I mean, it's just the forward facing people speaking from

592
00:32:32,200 --> 00:32:36,080
Speaker 3: the administration really need to be on it and hope

593
00:32:36,120 --> 00:32:41,960
Speaker 3: that yes, they are in fact destroying an overwhelming Iran's military,

594
00:32:42,040 --> 00:32:44,800
Speaker 3: because this is what's going to happen in this section

595
00:32:44,880 --> 00:32:48,480
Speaker 3: of the world. There's always somebody else, and this guy

596
00:32:49,080 --> 00:32:50,840
Speaker 3: is from the Iranian Guard.

597
00:32:51,360 --> 00:32:54,200
Speaker 2: That's the So keeping in mind that there's a healthy

598
00:32:54,200 --> 00:32:56,040
Speaker 2: amount of people who voted for Trump that say they

599
00:32:56,080 --> 00:32:58,560
Speaker 2: don't want regime change wars, and Trump and others are

600
00:32:58,600 --> 00:33:02,240
Speaker 2: sensitive to that. Can you say, well, we hope it's

601
00:33:02,280 --> 00:33:04,120
Speaker 2: not a guy is bad or worse, but that's not

602
00:33:04,160 --> 00:33:07,120
Speaker 2: really our objective. Does that wash with the American public

603
00:33:07,160 --> 00:33:10,040
Speaker 2: at large? We spend this money in time and then

604
00:33:10,360 --> 00:33:12,160
Speaker 2: somebody bad it or worse comes back.

605
00:33:13,920 --> 00:33:14,600
Speaker 6: I don't like it.

606
00:33:16,880 --> 00:33:19,120
Speaker 2: Tough spot more in a minute. I don't know about you.

607
00:33:19,280 --> 00:33:21,480
Speaker 2: If you have yo yo dieted all of your life,

608
00:33:21,560 --> 00:33:27,040
Speaker 2: I certainly have keto paleo weight watchers intermittent fasting, you

609
00:33:27,120 --> 00:33:29,480
Speaker 2: lose weight, and I have. I've lost dramatic amounts of

610
00:33:29,480 --> 00:33:31,720
Speaker 2: weight before, only to gain it back and then some

611
00:33:32,840 --> 00:33:34,720
Speaker 2: and you probably kick yourself for it, and you think

612
00:33:34,720 --> 00:33:36,840
Speaker 2: it's all about your own willpower and your own lack

613
00:33:36,880 --> 00:33:39,560
Speaker 2: of discipline. Look, maybe Eire's some of that, but the

614
00:33:39,600 --> 00:33:42,840
Speaker 2: real truth of it is it was not strictly about willpower.

615
00:33:42,880 --> 00:33:45,880
Speaker 2: There is one thing only that determines whether your body

616
00:33:45,920 --> 00:33:48,920
Speaker 2: burns fat or stores fat. And if you don't know

617
00:33:48,960 --> 00:33:51,480
Speaker 2: how to fix that, every diet you're ever going to

618
00:33:51,520 --> 00:33:57,120
Speaker 2: try fails. That's all that changed for me was looking

619
00:33:57,120 --> 00:33:59,760
Speaker 2: at it differently, and PhD Weight Loss told me how

620
00:33:59,800 --> 00:34:02,719
Speaker 2: to look at it differently. Doctor Ashley Lucas and I

621
00:34:02,800 --> 00:34:05,400
Speaker 2: started talking about her program and why it's worked so

622
00:34:05,480 --> 00:34:08,800
Speaker 2: well for some of my colleagues and how she's different.

623
00:34:09,680 --> 00:34:11,799
Speaker 2: And so when I went on this program last year

624
00:34:12,360 --> 00:34:15,400
Speaker 2: and I began to eat real food, I didn't have

625
00:34:15,480 --> 00:34:17,080
Speaker 2: to take any kind of shots or any kind of

626
00:34:17,120 --> 00:34:19,600
Speaker 2: gimmicky drugs or anything like that. It was just purely

627
00:34:19,680 --> 00:34:23,160
Speaker 2: understanding how my body best metabolizes food, when to eat,

628
00:34:23,280 --> 00:34:26,680
Speaker 2: what to eat, and not starving myself by the way.

629
00:34:27,680 --> 00:34:31,880
Speaker 2: And here's the deal, you start to have real victories quickly,

630
00:34:31,920 --> 00:34:34,880
Speaker 2: and I lost over forty pounds in under four months

631
00:34:34,960 --> 00:34:38,640
Speaker 2: time fast. Eddie, our executive producer, was so impressed with it,

632
00:34:38,719 --> 00:34:40,839
Speaker 2: he said, I wouldn't mind trying it. I said, how

633
00:34:40,880 --> 00:34:43,359
Speaker 2: much you want to lose? He said fifty pounds. So

634
00:34:43,400 --> 00:34:45,640
Speaker 2: we dialed up Ashley Lucas and I said, can Eddie

635
00:34:45,719 --> 00:34:49,040
Speaker 2: lose fifty pounds along with me here? And she said, oh, absolutely,

636
00:34:49,160 --> 00:34:52,680
Speaker 2: Let's give it till May. So he started the program. Folks,

637
00:34:52,760 --> 00:34:56,160
Speaker 2: he is already halfway to his goal after just thirteen

638
00:34:56,200 --> 00:34:58,440
Speaker 2: weeks or so. So, I mean, you're talking about over

639
00:34:58,480 --> 00:35:00,919
Speaker 2: twenty five pounds in a matter of weeks. That could

640
00:35:00,960 --> 00:35:01,680
Speaker 2: be your story.

641
00:35:02,480 --> 00:35:02,640
Speaker 6: Now.

642
00:35:02,680 --> 00:35:05,040
Speaker 2: I have managed to lose that kind of weight last

643
00:35:05,120 --> 00:35:07,839
Speaker 2: year and coming into a new year keeping that weight off.

644
00:35:07,880 --> 00:35:10,400
Speaker 2: That's the first time in my weight loss history that

645
00:35:10,440 --> 00:35:12,759
Speaker 2: I've lost that kind of weight and maintained the weight loss.

646
00:35:12,800 --> 00:35:16,040
Speaker 2: Because at PhD Weight Loss, they've identified that one thing

647

662
00:36:05,320 --> 00:36:09,120
Speaker 2: in Iran continue the Pentagon, we expect to hear from

663
00:36:09,440 --> 00:36:12,160
Speaker 2: Pete Haigsith, the Secretary of War, maybe in the next

664
00:36:12,200 --> 00:36:15,160
Speaker 2: hour or so. We will carry it live from the

665
00:36:15,160 --> 00:36:17,560
Speaker 2: Relief Factor studios here this morning. Could be with you

666
00:36:17,560 --> 00:36:20,120
Speaker 2: our telephone numbers eight five five Stagall if you'd like

667
00:36:20,200 --> 00:36:23,520
Speaker 2: to jump in and speaking of Relief Factor, if you

668
00:36:23,560 --> 00:36:25,840
Speaker 2: would like to tackle your pain today and you have

669
00:36:26,320 --> 00:36:30,279
Speaker 2: given up on even thinking you can do anything about

670
00:36:30,320 --> 00:36:33,280
Speaker 2: it other than something more aggressive like surgery or shots,

671
00:36:33,400 --> 00:36:35,560
Speaker 2: or maybe some sort of pharmaceutical product, and you really

672
00:36:35,600 --> 00:36:37,439
Speaker 2: don't want to do that, but you've kind of given up. Hope,

673
00:36:38,160 --> 00:36:40,680
Speaker 2: have you tried relief Factor yet? That's the big question

674
00:36:41,160 --> 00:36:43,759
Speaker 2: that I have for you. Living with pain that's a

675
00:36:43,800 --> 00:36:47,120
Speaker 2: miserable existence. I don't have to tell you that. So

676
00:36:47,280 --> 00:36:50,440
Speaker 2: when you get this all natural way to perhaps tackle

677
00:36:50,480 --> 00:36:52,520
Speaker 2: that pain, put a real dent in it, maybe even

678
00:36:52,560 --> 00:36:55,480
Speaker 2: eliminated entirely, why wouldn't you try it? You know, the

679
00:36:55,520 --> 00:36:58,400
Speaker 2: doctors who packaged up this all natural anti inflammatory in

680
00:36:58,440 --> 00:37:01,359
Speaker 2: a three week quick start for just nineteen ninety five

681
00:37:01,480 --> 00:37:04,759
Speaker 2: that's the price tag on it, and that for less

682
00:37:04,760 --> 00:37:08,000
Speaker 2: than a dollar a day, could be your way out

683
00:37:08,120 --> 00:37:12,439
Speaker 2: of pain, if not entirely, really dramatically reduce your pain,

684
00:37:12,480 --> 00:37:14,919
Speaker 2: which is the story for thousands of people, but many

685
00:37:14,960 --> 00:37:17,799
Speaker 2: many more experienced their pain melt away almost entirely. My

686
00:37:17,880 --> 00:37:20,239
Speaker 2: wife has experienced this. She wanted me to tell you

687
00:37:20,760 --> 00:37:22,440
Speaker 2: that one of the things that Relief Factor has done

688
00:37:22,480 --> 00:37:24,839
Speaker 2: for her is anytime she reaches up over her head,

689
00:37:24,880 --> 00:37:27,440
Speaker 2: she had a bum shoulder, and now when she is

690
00:37:27,480 --> 00:37:29,839
Speaker 2: stacking dishes up in the cabinet or whatever, she said,

691
00:37:29,880 --> 00:37:32,239
Speaker 2: that's gone. I hope you'll tell your audience about it,

692
00:37:32,239 --> 00:37:35,080
Speaker 2: because that's what relief Factor has done for me. So

693
00:37:35,160 --> 00:37:38,319
Speaker 2: we've seen how it works in my house. I'd like

694
00:37:38,360 --> 00:37:40,279
Speaker 2: you to experience it too. At eight hundred the number

695
00:37:40,320 --> 00:37:44,719
Speaker 2: four relief or visit relief factor dot com. All right,

696
00:37:44,760 --> 00:37:48,120
Speaker 2: so today the House, I guess a vote has been forced.

697
00:37:48,480 --> 00:37:53,319
Speaker 2: I'm not particularly interested in what individual people in the

698
00:37:53,360 --> 00:37:56,160
Speaker 2: House and Senator mouthing off about right now. I'm actually

699
00:37:56,239 --> 00:37:58,279
Speaker 2: more concerned about the men and women in harm's way

700
00:37:59,000 --> 00:38:02,520
Speaker 2: and the president's strategy here. But if you're somebody who

701
00:38:02,560 --> 00:38:08,200
Speaker 2: thinks this can't be dealt with unless Congress has to say,

702
00:38:08,440 --> 00:38:10,279
Speaker 2: I would first of all, just say where the hell

703
00:38:10,280 --> 00:38:14,080
Speaker 2: has Congress been on virtually anything else? Congress has abdicated

704
00:38:14,120 --> 00:38:17,640
Speaker 2: its responsibility on virtually everything else. This has been for

705
00:38:17,719 --> 00:38:20,120
Speaker 2: the better part of at least to twenty years or

706
00:38:20,160 --> 00:38:23,280
Speaker 2: more a country run by the executive and the judicial,

707
00:38:24,480 --> 00:38:26,520
Speaker 2: and that those two just having it out. So now

708
00:38:26,520 --> 00:38:28,680
Speaker 2: Congress all of a sudden wants to thump its chest. Well,

709
00:38:28,719 --> 00:38:30,920
Speaker 2: the Democrats do anyway, for the most part. So there

710
00:38:30,920 --> 00:38:32,920
Speaker 2: was a little reminder, and I just want to refresh

711
00:38:33,000 --> 00:38:36,960
Speaker 2: your memory if you weren't privy to this discussion yesterday

712
00:38:37,000 --> 00:38:40,680
Speaker 2: and that is a flashback to what Nancy Pelosi had

713
00:38:40,680 --> 00:38:46,680
Speaker 2: to say about going to war back in twenty eleven.

714
00:38:47,680 --> 00:38:50,359
Speaker 2: This came up in a discussion yesterday and I thought

715
00:38:50,360 --> 00:38:51,600
Speaker 2: I had it here. Am I making that up?

716
00:38:51,760 --> 00:38:51,800
Speaker 6: Ed?

717
00:38:52,040 --> 00:38:56,720
Speaker 2: Was this yesterday or no? That was from yesterday. I'm sorry,

718
00:38:56,760 --> 00:38:58,640
Speaker 2: but anyway, there was a clip we had yesterday, and

719
00:38:58,640 --> 00:39:00,319
Speaker 2: I apologize. I'm trying to keep on my mind fact

720
00:39:00,320 --> 00:39:03,080
Speaker 2: straight on this of Nancy Pelosi saying back in twenty

721
00:39:03,080 --> 00:39:09,600
Speaker 2: eleven that Barack Obama did not need congressional authority to

722
00:39:09,640 --> 00:39:11,800
Speaker 2: strike at that time. So we bring in Michael O'Neil,

723
00:39:12,000 --> 00:39:15,160
Speaker 2: the vice president of legal affairs at the Landmark Legal Foundation,

724
00:39:15,400 --> 00:39:18,719
Speaker 2: And Michael, here's my basic question is for anybody that's

725
00:39:18,760 --> 00:39:22,440
Speaker 2: curious about this, the War Powers Act, the War Powers

726
00:39:22,480 --> 00:39:25,359
Speaker 2: Resolutions the Congress is voting on today, where do things

727
00:39:25,400 --> 00:39:29,719
Speaker 2: stand legally constitutionally? And I know this matters to you,

728
00:39:29,800 --> 00:39:32,040
Speaker 2: So let's get it straight and go on record. Where

729
00:39:32,040 --> 00:39:33,560
Speaker 2: do you think we stand with this?

730
00:39:34,560 --> 00:39:34,759
Speaker 6: Yeah?

731
00:39:34,760 --> 00:39:36,560
Speaker 12: Well, the War Powers Act, it's a resolution.

732
00:39:36,680 --> 00:39:39,120
Speaker 14: I don't think it was ever actually presented to the

733
00:39:39,160 --> 00:39:41,239
Speaker 14: President of the United States for a signature, so it

734
00:39:41,280 --> 00:39:43,200
Speaker 14: was never executed as a statute.

735
00:39:43,239 --> 00:39:44,359
Speaker 12: So you can distinguish that.

736
00:39:44,680 --> 00:39:48,360
Speaker 14: So and furthermore, it's never been challenged constitutionality, So the

737
00:39:48,719 --> 00:39:51,480
Speaker 14: courts have never weighed in on the actual constitutionality of

738
00:39:51,560 --> 00:39:55,759
Speaker 14: the actual resolution. So there's a lot of it's a

739
00:39:55,840 --> 00:39:59,279
Speaker 14: dubious constitutionality right now. Remember this is we're always talking

740
00:39:59,320 --> 00:40:03,040
Speaker 14: about separation powers repeatedly, Chris, and this is really intruding

741
00:40:03,120 --> 00:40:07,399
Speaker 14: on the executive power to effectuate change in his role

742
00:40:07,440 --> 00:40:09,160
Speaker 14: as commander in chief of the Armed forces of the

743
00:40:09,239 --> 00:40:11,960
Speaker 14: United States and functioning in an emergency capacity. I think

744
00:40:12,000 --> 00:40:15,040
Speaker 14: the President, the Secretary of State, Secretary of War have

745
00:40:15,160 --> 00:40:18,160
Speaker 14: all made the case that the administration was funk was

746
00:40:18,560 --> 00:40:21,719
Speaker 14: exercising its war powers, exercising its duties as commander in

747
00:40:21,760 --> 00:40:24,440
Speaker 14: chief in an emergency capacity. He was dealing with a

748
00:40:24,480 --> 00:40:27,160
Speaker 14: clear threat that was presented by the Iranians and the

749
00:40:27,160 --> 00:40:30,560
Speaker 14: Iranian regime that was developing nuclear missiles that was poised

750
00:40:30,560 --> 00:40:34,360
Speaker 14: to strike Israel, was poised to strike the neighbors in

751
00:40:34,400 --> 00:40:35,120
Speaker 14: the Gulf States.

752
00:40:35,440 --> 00:40:36,960
Speaker 12: So it looked like that the president.

753
00:40:37,000 --> 00:40:39,640
Speaker 14: I think the President is on fairly strong both legal

754
00:40:39,640 --> 00:40:44,440
Speaker 14: and constitutional grounds here. Nonetheless, you're still seeing the Secretary

755
00:40:44,440 --> 00:40:47,399
Speaker 14: of State briefing the requisite members of Congress within forty

756
00:40:47,440 --> 00:40:50,480
Speaker 14: eight hours of the onset of hostilities. The sixty day

757
00:40:50,560 --> 00:40:52,879
Speaker 14: rule that everybody talks about under the War Powers Act

758
00:40:53,120 --> 00:40:56,239
Speaker 14: is still out there. I do anticipate the President is

759
00:40:56,280 --> 00:40:59,160
Speaker 14: indicating that he thinks at right now, and we know

760
00:40:59,160 --> 00:41:01,120
Speaker 14: we're in the fog of wars, so we know that

761
00:41:01,120 --> 00:41:02,839
Speaker 14: things change very quickly, that this.

762
00:41:02,920 --> 00:41:05,239
Speaker 12: Isn't I would lay odds probably right now.

763
00:41:05,239 --> 00:41:07,600
Speaker 14: Again, I'm hedging a little bit here, but as of

764
00:41:07,680 --> 00:41:09,600
Speaker 14: right now, I think that this is something that's going

765
00:41:09,640 --> 00:41:12,480
Speaker 14: to be effectuated and completed within sixty days.

766
00:41:12,760 --> 00:41:15,120
Speaker 12: So there is still some of that compliance under.

767
00:41:14,920 --> 00:41:18,239
Speaker 14: The War Acts war Powers resolution that's actually never really

768
00:41:18,239 --> 00:41:22,400
Speaker 14: even been litigated or really finalized, where the court has

769
00:41:22,440 --> 00:41:25,719
Speaker 14: never really understood it or ruled on the constitutionality of it.

770
00:41:26,040 --> 00:41:27,799
Speaker 14: I think there's a very strong case to be made

771
00:41:27,840 --> 00:41:30,080
Speaker 14: that it is not that it is not constitutional, that

772
00:41:30,120 --> 00:41:32,800
Speaker 14: it intrudes improperly on the president's authority.

773
00:41:33,600 --> 00:41:38,000
Speaker 2: Look, I appreciate the position we want our elected representatives

774
00:41:38,040 --> 00:41:42,000
Speaker 2: to have a say in whether or not we go

775
00:41:42,080 --> 00:41:45,160
Speaker 2: to full blown full scale war. War is declared? Is

776
00:41:45,200 --> 00:41:48,560
Speaker 2: war being declared here? And if so, does it need

777
00:41:48,600 --> 00:41:50,520
Speaker 2: to be declared via Congress? In your view.

778
00:41:52,360 --> 00:41:54,759
Speaker 12: Well, I don't know right now, I don't think so.

779
00:41:54,760 --> 00:41:56,120
Speaker 14: I don't think we're at the point where there's a

780
00:41:56,160 --> 00:41:59,560
Speaker 14: declaration of war that's necessary here Again, is this looks

781
00:41:59,600 --> 00:42:02,560
Speaker 14: like this is going to be again with this provisor

782
00:42:02,600 --> 00:42:05,600
Speaker 14: and I'm giving a lot of provisers here that this

783
00:42:05,719 --> 00:42:09,000
Speaker 14: is going to be a set exercise where when we're

784
00:42:09,040 --> 00:42:11,840
Speaker 14: talking four to five weeks within that sixty day window,

785
00:42:11,880 --> 00:42:14,160
Speaker 14: I don't think that there's necessary a declaration of warant Now,

786
00:42:14,160 --> 00:42:17,120
Speaker 14: remember Congress still has some powers, and you talked about

787
00:42:17,120 --> 00:42:19,279
Speaker 14: it before that Congress is reluctant to exercise any of

788
00:42:19,280 --> 00:42:22,240
Speaker 14: its authority. Remember that they have the power of the purse. Still,

789
00:42:22,320 --> 00:42:25,080
Speaker 14: if there's enough political will that rises up on this,

790
00:42:25,200 --> 00:42:27,840
Speaker 14: there's always the control of the power of the purse. Furthermore,

791
00:42:27,880 --> 00:42:30,200
Speaker 14: and we know Congress doesn't hesitate to do this. They

792
00:42:30,280 --> 00:42:33,680
Speaker 14: always have that impeachment authority if they determine that the president,

793
00:42:33,760 --> 00:42:37,000
Speaker 14: if there's the political will has risen up that is

794
00:42:37,320 --> 00:42:38,200
Speaker 14: against the president.

795
00:42:38,520 --> 00:42:39,759
Speaker 12: I think this really is kind of a.

796
00:42:39,680 --> 00:42:41,840
Speaker 14: Political issue when you get down right down to it,

797
00:42:41,920 --> 00:42:44,239
Speaker 14: in the context of the role of Congress and the

798
00:42:44,280 --> 00:42:48,320
Speaker 14: president here domestically, I think that about in the midterm elections.

799
00:42:48,480 --> 00:42:50,480
Speaker 14: The people are going to speak whether that they approve

800
00:42:50,520 --> 00:42:52,440
Speaker 14: of this or whether that they think this is a

801
00:42:52,480 --> 00:42:55,200
Speaker 14: good idea from a political perspective. Now that's setting aside

802
00:42:55,200 --> 00:42:58,879
Speaker 14: all the geopolitical and international diplomatic and all the larger issues, but.

803
00:42:58,800 --> 00:43:01,480
Speaker 12: Strictly from a political From a political.

804
00:43:01,040 --> 00:43:03,200
Speaker 14: Perspective, I think the people are going to have the

805
00:43:03,200 --> 00:43:05,120
Speaker 14: opportunity to weigh in this on the mid terms.

806
00:43:05,160 --> 00:43:07,040
Speaker 12: If this is viewed as a success.

807
00:43:06,880 --> 00:43:10,200
Speaker 14: Most likely it's going to be good for President Trump

808
00:43:10,239 --> 00:43:13,239
Speaker 14: from a political perspective. When Republicans in general in November.

809
00:43:13,320 --> 00:43:15,480
Speaker 14: If this is viewed as a failure by the American people,

810
00:43:15,480 --> 00:43:17,760
Speaker 14: a quagmire, if you will, then I think the American

811
00:43:17,760 --> 00:43:19,239
Speaker 14: people are going to speak in November.

812
00:43:19,520 --> 00:43:22,560
Speaker 12: So again, I think your original point really stands.

813
00:43:22,640 --> 00:43:25,680
Speaker 14: Chris Congress says, it's unfortunate here Congress has sat on

814
00:43:25,719 --> 00:43:26,680
Speaker 14: its hands in so many years.

815
00:43:26,680 --> 00:43:28,640
Speaker 12: They really should be working on the Save America Act.

816
00:43:28,719 --> 00:43:28,879
Speaker 6: Right.

817
00:43:29,080 --> 00:43:32,279
Speaker 14: The vote well ensured the election integrity. We like to

818
00:43:32,280 --> 00:43:34,920
Speaker 14: actually see them start to do something instead of just

819
00:43:34,960 --> 00:43:38,359
Speaker 14: pontificate for political for political chief political points. And that's

820
00:43:38,360 --> 00:43:40,440
Speaker 14: what I think you saw HAWKEM. Jeffrey's doing.

821
00:43:41,239 --> 00:43:43,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, and In fact, if you can stick around for

822
00:43:43,600 --> 00:43:45,319
Speaker 2: another segment, I want to talk a little bit about

823
00:43:45,320 --> 00:43:48,160
Speaker 2: the Save America Act and some other things. Here's Marco

824
00:43:48,239 --> 00:43:51,359
Speaker 2: Rubio yesterday. I'm talking about why not notify Congress ahead

825
00:43:51,360 --> 00:43:56,120
Speaker 2: of this? At number forty seven, we notified Congress.

826
00:43:56,120 --> 00:43:57,920
Speaker 10: I mean we notified the Gang of a. We notified

827
00:43:57,960 --> 00:44:00,920
Speaker 10: congressional leadership. There's no law all that requires us to

828
00:44:00,960 --> 00:44:02,719
Speaker 10: do that. The law says we have to notify them

829
00:44:02,719 --> 00:44:04,719
Speaker 10: forty eight hours after beginning hostilities.

830
00:44:04,840 --> 00:44:05,440
Speaker 2: We've done that.

831
00:44:05,480 --> 00:44:08,160
Speaker 10: I think the notification went today, But we did notify

832
00:44:08,239 --> 00:44:10,759
Speaker 10: members of Congress in advance. But we can't notifyve five

833
00:44:10,840 --> 00:44:13,000
Speaker 10: hundred and thirty five members of Congress. There's no law

834
00:44:13,000 --> 00:44:15,200
Speaker 10: that requires the president to have done anything with regards

835
00:44:15,280 --> 00:44:19,879
Speaker 10: to this to begin with, No presidential administration has ever

836
00:44:19,920 --> 00:44:23,320
Speaker 10: accepted the War Powers Act as constitutional. Not Republican presidents,

837
00:44:23,320 --> 00:44:26,680
Speaker 10: not Democratic presidents. That said, we have followed the notification

838
00:44:26,719 --> 00:44:27,720
Speaker 10: at forty eight hours.

839
00:44:28,080 --> 00:44:28,800
Speaker 2: We're here today.

840
00:44:28,960 --> 00:44:31,640
Speaker 10: I've done more Gang of Eight briefings than I got

841
00:44:31,640 --> 00:44:33,360
Speaker 10: in the four years that Biden was president and I

842
00:44:33,400 --> 00:44:35,040
Speaker 10: was a member of the Gang of Eight. All of

843
00:44:35,040 --> 00:44:37,640
Speaker 10: that said, we've complied with the law. One hundred percent,

844
00:44:37,840 --> 00:44:39,360
Speaker 10: and we're going to continue to comply with it.

845
00:44:40,760 --> 00:44:43,200
Speaker 2: So Michael O'Neil, just walk me through, all right. If

846
00:44:43,239 --> 00:44:46,360
Speaker 2: somebody doesn't agree with this or thinks President Trump has

847
00:44:46,440 --> 00:44:48,800
Speaker 2: run a foual of the Constitution, where's the legal challenge?

848
00:44:48,840 --> 00:44:50,839
Speaker 2: Does the Supreme Court weigh in on something like this?

849
00:44:50,880 --> 00:44:53,920
Speaker 2: Could that happen? They did, for instance, on tariffs? President

850
00:44:54,000 --> 00:44:57,439
Speaker 2: Trump used emergency powers to declare tariffs and the Supreme Court,

851
00:44:57,520 --> 00:45:01,200
Speaker 2: as we know, turned that upside down recently. So could

852
00:45:01,239 --> 00:45:02,840
Speaker 2: the Supreme Court wagh in on something like this? And

853
00:45:02,840 --> 00:45:04,040
Speaker 2: who would bring the challenge if so?

854
00:45:04,760 --> 00:45:07,759
Speaker 14: Again, again speaking hypathetically, I would assume it couldn't be

855
00:45:07,800 --> 00:45:10,240
Speaker 14: a private party. It would have to be potentially members

856
00:45:10,239 --> 00:45:12,040
Speaker 14: of Congress who would have to bring some sort of

857
00:45:12,120 --> 00:45:18,200
Speaker 14: challenge under this War Powers Act about the President acting illegally.

858
00:45:17,000 --> 00:45:18,360
Speaker 12: Or extra constitutionally.

859
00:45:18,800 --> 00:45:21,640
Speaker 14: And again, how often do you actually see members of

860
00:45:21,680 --> 00:45:25,239
Speaker 14: Congress bringing lawsuits to ensure that the preservation of their

861
00:45:25,280 --> 00:45:28,320
Speaker 14: powers are There are times that I'm always say, well, hey, Congress,

862
00:45:28,320 --> 00:45:29,440
Speaker 14: your powers are being intruded here.

863
00:45:29,480 --> 00:45:30,360
Speaker 12: Why don't you do something?

864
00:45:30,520 --> 00:45:32,880
Speaker 14: I think again, I think I don't think that the

865
00:45:33,440 --> 00:45:36,360
Speaker 14: dubiousness and the Secretary of State just indicated this. The

866
00:45:36,440 --> 00:45:40,319
Speaker 14: dubiousness and the questionality of the constitutionality of the War

867
00:45:40,400 --> 00:45:43,799
Speaker 14: Powers Resolution War Powers Act, if you will, I think

868
00:45:43,920 --> 00:45:46,279
Speaker 14: is such that it's probably not worth it for the

869
00:45:46,800 --> 00:45:49,719
Speaker 14: for Congress to bring such a suit because again, I

870
00:45:49,760 --> 00:45:51,480
Speaker 14: do think there's a very strong case that it's an

871
00:45:51,560 --> 00:45:54,600
Speaker 14: unconstitutional law. I think it intrudes upon the Article two

872
00:45:54,680 --> 00:45:56,680
Speaker 14: powers of the President, and I don't think it would

873
00:45:56,680 --> 00:45:57,880
Speaker 14: survive judicial scrutiny.

874
00:45:58,800 --> 00:46:03,279
Speaker 2: The President is maybe we don't know, but maybe going

875
00:46:03,280 --> 00:46:08,600
Speaker 2: to ask for additional funds for this conflict. Do you

876
00:46:08,800 --> 00:46:12,920
Speaker 2: think you could you get the Department of one Land Security.

877
00:46:12,920 --> 00:46:15,799
Speaker 2: We're technically still in a government shutdown. Michael O'Neill, So

878
00:46:16,440 --> 00:46:18,359
Speaker 2: I tell you what, I won't rush this, think about

879
00:46:18,360 --> 00:46:20,160
Speaker 2: this during the break. Here's my question, and we'll get

880
00:46:20,160 --> 00:46:22,880
Speaker 2: back to it in a minute. If we're still technically

881
00:46:22,880 --> 00:46:25,719
Speaker 2: in a government shutdown, DHS isn't currently being funded. If

882
00:46:25,719 --> 00:46:28,160
Speaker 2: in fact more funding needs to go to this particular effort,

883
00:46:28,880 --> 00:46:31,280
Speaker 2: could you see members of Congress tuck the Save Act

884
00:46:32,400 --> 00:46:37,080
Speaker 2: into that, now, Democrat, this becomes more political than constitutional

885
00:46:37,160 --> 00:46:39,560
Speaker 2: and legal, understand, But well, we'll get into it. Michael

886
00:46:39,560 --> 00:46:42,920
Speaker 2: O'Neill when we return. Also huge ruling by the Supreme

887
00:46:42,920 --> 00:46:47,600
Speaker 2: Court school kids in California and the transing of kids.

888
00:46:47,840 --> 00:46:49,839
Speaker 2: We talked a little about it yesterday. More to come

889
00:46:49,880 --> 00:46:52,400
Speaker 2: on the Stagall Show. All right, we're back with Michael O'Neil,

890
00:46:52,480 --> 00:46:54,800
Speaker 2: vice president of legal affairs at Landmark Legal. And my

891
00:46:54,920 --> 00:46:57,680
Speaker 2: question to you, Michael during the break was, so we're

892
00:46:57,719 --> 00:47:01,359
Speaker 2: technically still in a government shutdown. We don't know yet.

893
00:47:01,640 --> 00:47:04,239
Speaker 2: The President hasn't requested it. We're not entirely sure, but

894
00:47:04,280 --> 00:47:07,080
Speaker 2: it may be that there may be more funding needed

895
00:47:07,080 --> 00:47:11,880
Speaker 2: for this effort in Iran. And people are correctly asking, Okay,

896
00:47:12,040 --> 00:47:14,040
Speaker 2: if the Senate's able to move on funding your on

897
00:47:14,560 --> 00:47:16,880
Speaker 2: or tackling a government shutdown, surely they can move on

898
00:47:16,920 --> 00:47:22,120
Speaker 2: a universally popular Save Act, which is requiring identification to vote.

899
00:47:22,200 --> 00:47:25,680
Speaker 2: Could those potentially by Thoon be rolled into one. Is

900
00:47:25,719 --> 00:47:26,640
Speaker 2: that a pipe dream.

901
00:47:26,520 --> 00:47:28,759
Speaker 12: You'd like to I would like to see it. Any

902
00:47:28,800 --> 00:47:30,360
Speaker 12: any procedural.

903
00:47:29,760 --> 00:47:32,239
Speaker 14: Tactic to use to ensure a vote on the Save

904
00:47:32,320 --> 00:47:36,240
Speaker 14: America Act would be welcome. I think if it means

905
00:47:36,760 --> 00:47:38,920
Speaker 14: contending with the filibuster. Again, that's a lot of the

906
00:47:38,960 --> 00:47:40,960
Speaker 14: talk here is that whether whether there's going to be

907
00:47:41,440 --> 00:47:44,759
Speaker 14: a zombie philibuster or a talking filibuster. If a way

908
00:47:44,800 --> 00:47:48,480
Speaker 14: to somehow bypass that and preserve the zombie filibuster that

909
00:47:48,520 --> 00:47:52,040
Speaker 14: somehow these leaders are so enamored with and in force

910
00:47:52,080 --> 00:47:54,960
Speaker 14: a vote on the Save America Act, then with a

911
00:47:55,000 --> 00:47:58,360
Speaker 14: high degree of likelihood of success. Again, we want the

912
00:47:58,400 --> 00:48:00,440
Speaker 14: Save Act, of course, to be an act. Did we

913
00:48:00,480 --> 00:48:04,680
Speaker 14: want election integrity? We want those basic common sense measures

914
00:48:04,719 --> 00:48:07,880
Speaker 14: that everybody agrees on ninety percent of America things should

915
00:48:07,880 --> 00:48:10,480
Speaker 14: be implemented at the federal level. We want that to

916
00:48:10,560 --> 00:48:12,239
Speaker 14: go through and if that means tying it to some

917
00:48:12,280 --> 00:48:16,160
Speaker 14: sort of funding measure, then so be it. Anything it

918
00:48:16,239 --> 00:48:19,399
Speaker 14: takes to get the members of the Senate to move

919
00:48:19,440 --> 00:48:22,520
Speaker 14: on this would be welcome. Now, again, if Congress is

920
00:48:22,960 --> 00:48:26,920
Speaker 14: tasked with providing additional funding for the efforts in Iran

921
00:48:27,000 --> 00:48:29,680
Speaker 14: and to maintain that, then that's an effort for Congress

922
00:48:29,719 --> 00:48:31,399
Speaker 14: to speak on this. I just spoke a second ago

923
00:48:31,480 --> 00:48:34,040
Speaker 14: about what tools Congress has to weigh in on this

924
00:48:34,080 --> 00:48:36,160
Speaker 14: and the authority of Congress and what role the Senate

925
00:48:36,160 --> 00:48:37,640
Speaker 14: and the House of Representatives have.

926
00:48:38,000 --> 00:48:39,840
Speaker 12: Here's an example of the role they have.

927
00:48:40,200 --> 00:48:42,680
Speaker 14: They can control the funding if the president is tasked

928
00:48:42,680 --> 00:48:44,759
Speaker 14: with asking more for more funding, then they have a

929
00:48:44,800 --> 00:48:47,120
Speaker 14: role to play here, and that's their constitutional role in

930
00:48:47,200 --> 00:48:48,240
Speaker 14: the power of the purse.

931
00:48:49,200 --> 00:48:51,960
Speaker 2: I tell you, the American public will not have and

932
00:48:52,040 --> 00:48:55,000
Speaker 2: certainly Trump's base will not have appetite for passing more

933
00:48:55,040 --> 00:48:59,280
Speaker 2: funding for this military effort and not advancing the same acts.

934
00:49:00,080 --> 00:49:02,600
Speaker 2: Questionably clear to me, I think that's true for most Americans.

935
00:49:03,480 --> 00:49:07,400
Speaker 2: I do wonder do you think procedurally speaking, and I

936
00:49:07,400 --> 00:49:09,439
Speaker 2: guess maybe this is more a political question if there's

937
00:49:09,440 --> 00:49:12,320
Speaker 2: a way to tie the Save Act to these funding

938
00:49:12,400 --> 00:49:17,319
Speaker 2: questions politically? Do I think? Personally, I want to see

939
00:49:17,360 --> 00:49:21,960
Speaker 2: Democrats actually have a talking filibuster against paying Homeland Security,

940
00:49:22,160 --> 00:49:26,480
Speaker 2: paying Coast Guard, paying TSA agents, and the Save Act.

941
00:49:26,520 --> 00:49:28,080
Speaker 2: I'd love to see them make the case on the floor.

942
00:49:28,200 --> 00:49:31,000
Speaker 2: I think Foon should force it. I love it.

943
00:49:31,040 --> 00:49:33,000
Speaker 12: I love the idea of a talking filibuster.

944
00:49:33,080 --> 00:49:35,560
Speaker 14: I don't know why I have to go back twenty

945
00:49:35,560 --> 00:49:38,080
Speaker 14: five thirty years whenever this started the origins of this

946
00:49:38,239 --> 00:49:41,160
Speaker 14: zombie filibuster. Why we did away with the tradition of

947
00:49:41,160 --> 00:49:44,279
Speaker 14: having senators who opposed legislation standing in the well the

948
00:49:44,320 --> 00:49:46,319
Speaker 14: Senate and expressing their disapproval for it.

949
00:49:46,400 --> 00:49:49,320
Speaker 12: For the American people. As I said before, let Corey Booker,

950
00:49:49,400 --> 00:49:50,480
Speaker 12: let Dick Durbin.

951
00:49:50,560 --> 00:49:54,120
Speaker 14: Let these senators who opposed these common sense measures. Let

952
00:49:54,120 --> 00:49:57,000
Speaker 14: them express how they opposed the Save Act. Let them

953
00:49:57,040 --> 00:50:00,600
Speaker 14: express how they opposed funding our military in the time

954
00:50:00,640 --> 00:50:03,880
Speaker 14: when we're engaged in hostilities with Iran. Explain how they

955
00:50:03,920 --> 00:50:07,239
Speaker 14: want to defund DHS or defund Homeland Security, or how

956
00:50:07,239 --> 00:50:09,960
Speaker 14: they want to defund ICE. Let them actually make their

957
00:50:10,000 --> 00:50:12,040
Speaker 14: case to the American people and let the political chips

958
00:50:12,080 --> 00:50:14,279
Speaker 14: fall where they may. This is what was envisioned by

959
00:50:14,280 --> 00:50:18,120
Speaker 14: our framers. This is political accountability. So often these senators

960
00:50:18,160 --> 00:50:20,880
Speaker 14: are permitted to avoid any and all accountability by.

961
00:50:20,719 --> 00:50:22,520
Speaker 12: Just remaining silent and then going home.

962
00:50:22,800 --> 00:50:24,880
Speaker 14: I mean, are we really poised to have the Senate

963
00:50:24,920 --> 00:50:27,120
Speaker 14: go on another vacation in the near future or going

964
00:50:27,200 --> 00:50:29,440
Speaker 14: another recess? And that's another one we haven't even talked

965
00:50:29,480 --> 00:50:30,760
Speaker 14: about about recess appointments.

966
00:50:30,760 --> 00:50:31,880
Speaker 12: For heaven's sake, how.

967
00:50:31,719 --> 00:50:34,799
Speaker 14: Come President Trump hasn't had the authority to enact any

968
00:50:34,880 --> 00:50:37,880
Speaker 14: recess appointments. He differs from any president in the past,

969
00:50:37,920 --> 00:50:40,000
Speaker 14: what seven or eight of them who've had dozens of

970
00:50:40,280 --> 00:50:41,600
Speaker 14: hundreds of recess appointments.

971
00:50:42,560 --> 00:50:46,840
Speaker 2: Michael O'Neill. It's a question we'll continue to ponder. Stay close.

972
00:50:46,920 --> 00:50:50,080
Speaker 2: Thank you, my friend back in a minute. Good to

973
00:50:50,120 --> 00:50:52,640
Speaker 2: be with you here in the Relief Factor studios this morning.

974
00:50:52,680 --> 00:50:56,120
Speaker 2: Our telephone number eight five five stigall if you want

975
00:50:56,120 --> 00:50:59,560
Speaker 2: to get in here. Do you follow us on social media?

976
00:50:59,600 --> 00:51:02,160
Speaker 2: I don't know why you don't taken off. I'll tell

977
00:51:02,160 --> 00:51:04,160
Speaker 2: you what. I posted a little message last night. I

978
00:51:04,200 --> 00:51:06,759
Speaker 2: was sitting in my room thinking to myself last night,

979
00:51:06,800 --> 00:51:09,480
Speaker 2: as I often do, I locked myself in a room

980
00:51:09,520 --> 00:51:13,080
Speaker 2: and think I ponder getting ready for the show, and

981
00:51:13,160 --> 00:51:15,640
Speaker 2: I started thinking to myself. I started thinking to myself,

982
00:51:16,400 --> 00:51:19,160
Speaker 2: how many times have people been in hysterics over something

983
00:51:19,200 --> 00:51:22,560
Speaker 2: Trump has done? And I just started to list in

984
00:51:22,640 --> 00:51:24,879
Speaker 2: my mind the number of things in the last year

985
00:51:24,920 --> 00:51:28,719
Speaker 2: and month that people have been in hysterics about President Trump. Hysterics.

986
00:51:29,239 --> 00:51:31,719
Speaker 2: This is it, this is a I've had it. This

987
00:51:31,760 --> 00:51:34,400
Speaker 2: is untenable. He's gone too far. He'll never come back

988
00:51:34,440 --> 00:51:38,240
Speaker 2: from this. We can't only for it to go away.

989
00:51:39,040 --> 00:51:43,280
Speaker 2: He's moved with swiftness, efficacy. He's done everything he's promised

990
00:51:43,280 --> 00:51:48,359
Speaker 2: he's going to do. And every time we're told it's

991
00:51:48,400 --> 00:51:49,520
Speaker 2: the end of the world, they move on to the

992
00:51:49,560 --> 00:51:51,879
Speaker 2: next end of the world thing. And so today, right now,

993
00:51:51,920 --> 00:51:55,080
Speaker 2: it's striking Iran while he saw a window of opportunity

994
00:51:55,120 --> 00:51:59,319
Speaker 2: to take out a threat from his Lamo fascists, and

995
00:51:59,520 --> 00:52:01,520
Speaker 2: he took it. And they're telling us this is the

996
00:52:01,520 --> 00:52:03,640
Speaker 2: worst thing ever. And I suspect when this is over

997
00:52:03,680 --> 00:52:06,239
Speaker 2: in a few weeks, we'll move on to the next

998
00:52:06,280 --> 00:52:08,480
Speaker 2: hysterical thing. But anyway, I posted that last night on

999

Speaker 2: Stagall is the telephone number today. I wanted to This

1011
00:52:43,480 --> 00:52:45,400
Speaker 2: was sort of what I was referring to earlier with

1012
00:52:45,440 --> 00:52:47,880
Speaker 2: Michael O'Neill. For those of you, this is the clip

1013
00:52:47,880 --> 00:52:49,960
Speaker 2: that I met Number forty six here kids, if you

1014
00:52:50,040 --> 00:52:55,640
Speaker 2: please Bill Malugin talking to hakem Elfe Jeffries yesterday. Hey,

1015
00:52:55,760 --> 00:53:00,560
Speaker 2: I thought you guys didn't mind presidents strike when they

1016
00:53:00,600 --> 00:53:04,359
Speaker 2: felt the need was great. Back in twenty eleven, your predecessor,

1017
00:53:04,680 --> 00:53:07,120
Speaker 2: Sloppy Choppers, Nancy Pelosi said it was fine.

1018
00:53:08,880 --> 00:53:12,160
Speaker 4: Back in twenty eleven, Nancy Pelosi said that then President

1019
00:53:12,200 --> 00:53:14,720
Speaker 4: Obama didn't need congressional approval to Obama Libya.

1020
00:53:15,080 --> 00:53:17,880
Speaker 15: Now how Democrats say President Trump needs that approval to

1021
00:53:17,920 --> 00:53:18,600
Speaker 15: Obamba Ron.

1022
00:53:18,680 --> 00:53:19,440
Speaker 2: What's the difference.

1023
00:53:19,840 --> 00:53:23,560
Speaker 16: Well, obviously Libya and the circumstances connected to that were

1024
00:53:23,640 --> 00:53:26,680
Speaker 16: very different than the circumstance that we face in Iran

1025
00:53:26,760 --> 00:53:29,080
Speaker 16: right now. I mean, I don't even understand the genesis

1026
00:53:29,160 --> 00:53:31,239
Speaker 16: or basis of that question. I suggested that you're not

1027
00:53:31,280 --> 00:53:35,520
Speaker 16: asking it in good faith. Libyae months, as I've indicated,

1028
00:53:36,480 --> 00:53:39,080
Speaker 16: first of all, was not in Congress at the time.

1029
00:53:39,760 --> 00:53:41,839
Speaker 16: So we're dealing with what we're dealing with right now,

1030
00:53:42,520 --> 00:53:45,640
Speaker 16: which is a catastrophic, endless war, as Donald Trump has

1031
00:53:45,719 --> 00:53:50,880
Speaker 16: characterized it, without any justification that there was going to

1032
00:53:50,880 --> 00:53:55,000
Speaker 16: be a pre eminent assault or attack on the United

1033
00:53:55,000 --> 00:54:00,400
Speaker 16: States of America, either in our homeland or as it

1034
00:54:00,440 --> 00:54:03,839
Speaker 16: relates to our interests in the Middle East.

1035
00:54:07,640 --> 00:54:12,040
Speaker 2: Did you catch that I don't care what my party

1036
00:54:12,120 --> 00:54:14,960
Speaker 2: has said. I wasn't here when my party said that

1037
00:54:15,520 --> 00:54:22,120
Speaker 2: I'm new here. Well, yeah, but your immediate predecessor said

1038
00:54:22,120 --> 00:54:29,720
Speaker 2: that I wasn't here. Okay. President Trump was asked yesterday

1039
00:54:29,760 --> 00:54:33,000
Speaker 2: clip number forty one, this notion that Israel is the

1040
00:54:33,080 --> 00:54:35,919
Speaker 2: driver here. Israel's the one that got us into this thing.

1041
00:54:36,160 --> 00:54:38,000
Speaker 2: President Trump asked about it. By the way, he doesn't

1042
00:54:38,000 --> 00:54:38,880
Speaker 2: flip his lid anymore.

1043
00:54:39,000 --> 00:54:39,040
Speaker 13: Ed.

1044
00:54:39,160 --> 00:54:42,640
Speaker 2: Have you noticed how deadly serious and measured Donald Trump is.

1045
00:54:43,200 --> 00:54:46,239
Speaker 2: He might have once upon a time's really gotten agitated

1046
00:54:46,239 --> 00:54:50,359
Speaker 2: at this stuff. But he is cool as ice, isn't he.

1047
00:54:49,800 --> 00:54:51,960
Speaker 3: He is he is, and that's what we need from

1048
00:54:52,040 --> 00:54:52,760
Speaker 3: him right now.

1049
00:54:52,960 --> 00:54:54,120
Speaker 2: This is huge.

1050
00:54:54,160 --> 00:54:55,879
Speaker 3: It's a very good development. I like it a lot.

1051
00:54:55,960 --> 00:55:00,520
Speaker 2: I like this Trump. No snark, really, just straight ahead.

1052
00:55:00,680 --> 00:55:02,160
Speaker 2: Here's the deal, take it or leave.

1053
00:55:02,160 --> 00:55:06,440
Speaker 1: At number forty one, you see, we were having negotiations

1054
00:55:06,480 --> 00:55:10,480
Speaker 1: with these lunatics, and it was my opinion that they

1055
00:55:10,480 --> 00:55:12,480
Speaker 1: were going to attack first. They were going to attack

1056
00:55:12,520 --> 00:55:16,040
Speaker 1: if we didn't do it. They were going to attack first.

1057
00:55:16,040 --> 00:55:20,239
Speaker 1: I felt strongly about that, and we have great negotiators,

1058
00:55:20,239 --> 00:55:23,319
Speaker 1: great people, people that do this very successfully and have

1059
00:55:23,360 --> 00:55:26,520
Speaker 1: done it all their lives, very successful, and based on

1060
00:55:26,560 --> 00:55:29,120
Speaker 1: the way the negotiation was going, I think they were

1061
00:55:29,120 --> 00:55:32,920
Speaker 1: going to attack first, and I didn't want that to happen.

1062
00:55:33,640 --> 00:55:37,120
Speaker 1: So if anything, I might have forced Israel's hand. But

1063
00:55:37,360 --> 00:55:40,239
Speaker 1: Israel was ready and we were ready, and we've had

1064
00:55:40,640 --> 00:55:43,000
Speaker 1: a very very powerful impact.

1065
00:55:45,200 --> 00:55:47,719
Speaker 2: Here's the thing, as I said yesterday on social media,

1066
00:55:47,719 --> 00:55:49,319
Speaker 2: and again I don't know why you're not following, because

1067
00:55:49,360 --> 00:55:51,560
Speaker 2: I made a brilliant post just last night laying this out.

1068
00:55:51,960 --> 00:55:53,880
Speaker 2: You either trust Trumper, you don't. Now if you're on

1069
00:55:53,920 --> 00:55:58,480
Speaker 2: the left, you already don't, Okay, So setting them aside,

1070
00:55:58,800 --> 00:56:01,080
Speaker 2: like I'm kind of tired even just using Democrats, that's

1071
00:56:01,080 --> 00:56:03,560
Speaker 2: a given for those of you that voted for Donald

1072
00:56:03,560 --> 00:56:06,880
Speaker 2: Trump and are now jumping up and down mattis hops

1073
00:56:07,040 --> 00:56:10,040
Speaker 2: or claiming to be, although polling suggests that's a really

1074
00:56:10,080 --> 00:56:12,800
Speaker 2: scant loud few on social media, and it's not really

1075
00:56:12,840 --> 00:56:16,120
Speaker 2: real that the vast majority of people who voted for

1076
00:56:16,160 --> 00:56:19,520
Speaker 2: Donald Trump still trust Donald Trump and stand where I'm

1077
00:56:19,560 --> 00:56:22,040
Speaker 2: standing here today. But I'll ask you ed you and

1078
00:56:22,080 --> 00:56:25,640
Speaker 2: I don't discuss this before the show. Do you trust

1079
00:56:25,719 --> 00:56:28,600
Speaker 2: Donald Trump or not? I voted for the man three times.

1080
00:56:29,719 --> 00:56:32,200
Speaker 2: I voted for him. We only get one chief executive

1081
00:56:32,239 --> 00:56:34,839
Speaker 2: at a time. I voted for him three times. And

1082
00:56:35,160 --> 00:56:40,719
Speaker 2: he says he believed through negotiations with Iran they were

1083
00:56:40,800 --> 00:56:43,880
Speaker 2: white hot ready to strike and do something deadly serious

1084
00:56:43,880 --> 00:56:46,400
Speaker 2: and dangerous if we didn't take them out. I have

1085
00:56:46,480 --> 00:56:50,040
Speaker 2: no reason not to trust him. That's where I stand.

1086
00:56:50,360 --> 00:56:53,680
Speaker 2: It's that simple. I have to put my faith in

1087
00:56:53,719 --> 00:56:57,840
Speaker 2: his judgment. I voted for him as the commander in chief.

1088
00:56:58,080 --> 00:57:00,600
Speaker 2: His judgment was they were a threat and imminent threat,

1089
00:57:00,640 --> 00:57:02,480
Speaker 2: and he decided to strike it. And at the end

1090
00:57:02,480 --> 00:57:04,960
Speaker 2: of the day, I can jump up and down and

1091
00:57:05,000 --> 00:57:07,719
Speaker 2: demand this and demand that, but that's his job to

1092
00:57:07,800 --> 00:57:10,080
Speaker 2: make that calculation, and he did it. I have no

1093
00:57:10,160 --> 00:57:12,200
Speaker 2: reason not to trust him. So where are you with it.

1094
00:57:12,520 --> 00:57:17,600
Speaker 3: Now, Chris? Exactly the same Chris Trump has acted. When

1095
00:57:18,080 --> 00:57:21,400
Speaker 3: we had a chance for solemony, he took it. You know,

1096
00:57:21,520 --> 00:57:25,800
Speaker 3: if Buro it, you took it. So this is Trump's

1097
00:57:25,840 --> 00:57:28,360
Speaker 3: foreign policy, this is the way he operates. You're not

1098
00:57:28,400 --> 00:57:32,120
Speaker 3: going to know what happens, whether we're whether it's you know,

1099
00:57:32,200 --> 00:57:35,720
Speaker 3: midnight storm and they're striking the nuclear facilities or not. Like, yes,

1100
00:57:35,760 --> 00:57:39,680
Speaker 3: if his people are telling him, you know, Iran's coming

1101
00:57:39,720 --> 00:57:42,440
Speaker 3: to the table, but only public facing, while you know

1102
00:57:42,520 --> 00:57:46,919
Speaker 3: Russia and China, who are also our enemies, are stockpiling

1103
00:57:46,960 --> 00:57:50,280
Speaker 3: them or helping them in any way, you got to

1104
00:57:50,320 --> 00:57:52,080
Speaker 3: take it. He had the opportunity and he took it.

1105
00:57:52,120 --> 00:57:54,600
Speaker 2: So I'm with him. Yes, that's it. The element of

1106
00:57:54,680 --> 00:57:57,240
Speaker 2: surprise here is big, the fact that he did this

1107
00:57:57,320 --> 00:58:00,880
Speaker 2: in broad daylight. They saw the But these people were

1108
00:58:00,920 --> 00:58:03,800
Speaker 2: gathered for their big I don't know, super friends meeting,

1109
00:58:03,800 --> 00:58:05,800
Speaker 2: whatever the hell they call it. There and Iran, and

1110
00:58:05,840 --> 00:58:07,800
Speaker 2: he was like, I can't believe these morons are all

1111
00:58:07,800 --> 00:58:10,920
Speaker 2: gathering for a breakfast. Hit them now, go right, You

1112
00:58:11,040 --> 00:58:13,400
Speaker 2: take your punch when you got the chance to punch it.

1113
00:58:13,400 --> 00:58:14,680
Speaker 2: It's that easy to understand.

1114
00:58:15,560 --> 00:58:19,760
Speaker 3: That's exactly right. And the cool thing about not cool.

1115
00:58:19,840 --> 00:58:24,120
Speaker 3: I'm sorry, we're about this. This is a display to

1116
00:58:24,200 --> 00:58:26,080
Speaker 3: the rest of the world. This is a display to

1117
00:58:26,120 --> 00:58:29,600
Speaker 3: our enemies, both in Russia, China and the entire Middle

1118
00:58:29,640 --> 00:58:32,360
Speaker 3: East that Trump's not screwing around either. He just took

1119
00:58:32,360 --> 00:58:34,280
Speaker 3: out a front leader We're.

1120
00:58:34,080 --> 00:58:37,160
Speaker 2: Not going to some international confab. We're not having open

1121
00:58:37,240 --> 00:58:40,440
Speaker 2: air discussions with all the global leaders about their approval

1122
00:58:40,480 --> 00:58:42,840
Speaker 2: and taking an eye or and they vote and a

1123
00:58:42,920 --> 00:58:45,600
Speaker 2: time certain and giving all the particulars, and we're going

1124
00:58:45,680 --> 00:58:47,920
Speaker 2: to strike at midnight. And you better be good, Iran,

1125
00:58:47,960 --> 00:58:50,800
Speaker 2: because here we come. It's none of that. He saw

1126
00:58:50,840 --> 00:58:53,560
Speaker 2: an opportunity, a window. He thinks these people were going

1127
00:58:53,600 --> 00:58:55,400
Speaker 2: to strike if we didn't strike, and he took it.

1128
00:58:56,320 --> 00:58:59,320
Speaker 2: I dig it. That's power, man. And the problem in

1129
00:58:59,360 --> 00:59:01,320
Speaker 2: this country is we're just not used to that kind

1130
00:59:01,320 --> 00:59:04,840
Speaker 2: of leadership anymore. We're not used to leaders who just

1131
00:59:05,000 --> 00:59:09,160
Speaker 2: say those guys are a problem. I'm taking it out

1132
00:59:10,520 --> 00:59:12,080
Speaker 2: and I'm doing it my way, and I'm doing it

1133
00:59:12,160 --> 00:59:14,720
Speaker 2: right now, and I'm not asking for permission. I'm going

1134
00:59:14,800 --> 00:59:16,880
Speaker 2: to do what's in the best interests of this country.

1135
00:59:17,400 --> 00:59:19,200
Speaker 2: I'm sick and tired of these guys being a threat.

1136
00:59:19,280 --> 00:59:21,840
Speaker 2: And by the way, he sent Witkoff and his son

1137
00:59:21,880 --> 00:59:24,080
Speaker 2: in law Kushner over there to talk to them. Did

1138
00:59:24,160 --> 00:59:26,320
Speaker 2: you hear any of that conversation with Witkoff. I think

1139
00:59:26,320 --> 00:59:28,000
Speaker 2: we had it earlier in the week, and I didn't.

1140
00:59:28,000 --> 00:59:30,680
Speaker 2: I just didn't get a chance to play it, Witkoff says,

1141
00:59:30,680 --> 00:59:32,400
Speaker 2: and here again, I have no reason to doubt it.

1142
00:59:33,440 --> 00:59:35,360
Speaker 2: He and Kushner went over there to Iran and said,

1143
00:59:35,400 --> 00:59:38,120
Speaker 2: all right, boys, we really really don't want to blow

1144
00:59:38,160 --> 00:59:40,720
Speaker 2: you to smithereens. Is there a way we can avoid this?

1145
00:59:41,200 --> 00:59:44,560
Speaker 2: Witkoff says. They started by saying, here's what you need

1146
00:59:44,600 --> 00:59:47,200
Speaker 2: to understand. We're sitting on a lot of material for

1147
00:59:47,240 --> 00:59:53,640
Speaker 2: about six nuke warheads right now, so let's talk Eddie.

1148
00:59:53,640 --> 00:59:56,400
Speaker 2: That was literally what Witkoff said these Iranians started their

1149
00:59:56,440 --> 00:59:59,160
Speaker 2: negotiations with. It was sort of a flex. We've got

1150
00:59:59,160 --> 01:00:00,960
Speaker 2: the ability to take you out and take you on

1151
01:00:01,080 --> 01:00:04,200
Speaker 2: right now. So just mind your p's and q's as

1152
01:00:04,200 --> 01:00:05,840
Speaker 2: you come to the table and talk with us. So

1153
01:00:06,120 --> 01:00:09,760
Speaker 2: what do you want? Whitkoff called Trump and was like,

1154
01:00:09,960 --> 01:00:13,560
Speaker 2: these guys started the conversation by threatening us with nukes.

1155
01:00:14,840 --> 01:00:16,520
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's not the way Trump rolls. You're not going

1156
01:00:16,560 --> 01:00:17,400
Speaker 3: to are you kidding me?

1157
01:00:18,040 --> 01:00:18,120
Speaker 6: No?

1158
01:00:18,480 --> 01:00:22,680
Speaker 2: And so Trump said, okay, jackasses, I tried you, lunatic,

1159
01:00:22,760 --> 01:00:28,640
Speaker 2: crazy Islamic fascists. I tried, and you started a negotiation

1160
01:00:28,800 --> 01:00:33,520
Speaker 2: with me by threatening to use nukes. F around and

1161
01:00:33,560 --> 01:00:39,600
Speaker 2: find out. Then Operation Epic Fury broad daylight. You all

1162
01:00:39,600 --> 01:00:45,080
Speaker 2: gather for your little breakfast kaboom, Bobby Bass, our Audio Cowboy.

1163
01:00:45,240 --> 01:00:47,040
Speaker 2: Those of you who watch on the Salem News Channel,

1164
01:00:47,120 --> 01:00:49,200
Speaker 2: you can't fully appreciate. Those of you that listen on

1165
01:00:49,240 --> 01:00:54,040
Speaker 2: great radio stations like AM five seventy in Washington, d C.

1166
01:00:54,280 --> 01:00:56,760
Speaker 2: Great affiliates all over the country. You hear that what

1167
01:00:56,800 --> 01:00:59,600
Speaker 2: we call bump music and the bitness the music in

1168
01:00:59,640 --> 01:01:01,320
Speaker 2: and out of breaks. Those of you who listen to

1169
01:01:01,360 --> 01:01:06,320
Speaker 2: the radio, I get more notes on our Audio cowboys

1170
01:01:06,520 --> 01:01:09,560
Speaker 2: selection of music on the radio. Well done out there,

1171
01:01:09,600 --> 01:01:12,320
Speaker 2: Bobby doing good work. People love your bump music man,

1172
01:01:12,440 --> 01:01:15,160
Speaker 2: great choices. Thank you very much letting you know, Yeah,

1173
01:01:15,400 --> 01:01:18,440
Speaker 2: that's all the handiwork of Bobby Bess, our Audio Cowboy.

1174
01:01:18,720 --> 01:01:20,880
Speaker 2: Eight five five stagalls our telephone number if you'd like

1175
01:01:20,920 --> 01:01:23,560
Speaker 2: to get in here. You know, today and every day

1176
01:01:23,600 --> 01:01:26,680
Speaker 2: and increasingly every passing day, week and year gets faster.

1177
01:01:26,760 --> 01:01:30,480
Speaker 2: It feels it's a fast paced, just kind of endless

1178
01:01:30,640 --> 01:01:34,200
Speaker 2: constant churn out there. Particularly if you're a professional, you

1179
01:01:34,280 --> 01:01:36,920
Speaker 2: get it, and you need mental clarity. You need sharp

1180
01:01:36,960 --> 01:01:38,680
Speaker 2: focus to stay on top of it all and a

1181
01:01:38,720 --> 01:01:42,000
Speaker 2: reliable memory. We expect to hear from Pete Hegseth at

1182
01:01:42,000 --> 01:01:45,520
Speaker 2: the Pentagon with a live press briefing coming up. We

1183
01:01:45,600 --> 01:01:48,480
Speaker 2: will carry that as that happens, and when it happens,

1184
01:01:48,520 --> 01:01:50,720
Speaker 2: we also expect we're going to try somehow to figure

1185
01:01:50,760 --> 01:01:54,080
Speaker 2: out to get Lieutenant General Keith Kellogg in here today too,

1186
01:01:54,440 --> 01:01:57,160
Speaker 2: who has been sort of the lead dog on the

1187
01:01:57,240 --> 01:02:03,880
Speaker 2: Ukraine Russia fight that President Trump administration's behalf. And now

1188
01:02:03,920 --> 01:02:08,360
Speaker 2: he's kind of gone back to joining us regularly and

1189
01:02:08,400 --> 01:02:10,960
Speaker 2: giving us some color and insight into how decisions are

1190
01:02:10,960 --> 01:02:13,240
Speaker 2: made in the room. He's been in the room for

1191
01:02:13,320 --> 01:02:16,280
Speaker 2: a lot of these very recent discussions, so his insights

1192
01:02:16,320 --> 01:02:18,600
Speaker 2: are invaluable. We're glad to have him back. He's been

1193
01:02:18,600 --> 01:02:21,440
Speaker 2: sort of under wraps during the Ukraine Russia situation, and

1194
01:02:21,480 --> 01:02:22,920
Speaker 2: now he's free to talk to us again, so we're

1195
01:02:22,960 --> 01:02:25,960
Speaker 2: really looking forward to that. I'm looking at the futures,

1196
01:02:26,000 --> 01:02:28,400
Speaker 2: the market futures this morning. Now again this could change

1197
01:02:28,440 --> 01:02:31,600
Speaker 2: and its futures and whatever oil prices eddy are down.

1198
01:02:33,920 --> 01:02:35,800
Speaker 2: That's the futures now. I'm not saying it won't blow

1199
01:02:35,880 --> 01:02:37,959
Speaker 2: up later and get worse, but right now I'm looking

1200
01:02:37,960 --> 01:02:41,040
Speaker 2: at oil futures and they're down, and as it turns

1201
01:02:41,080 --> 01:02:44,800
Speaker 2: out the market, the futures in the market, they're all up.

1202
01:02:46,400 --> 01:02:49,400
Speaker 2: So yesterday the sky was falling and oil prices we're

1203
01:02:49,400 --> 01:02:51,920
Speaker 2: going to go through the roof and the markets are crashing,

1204
01:02:51,960 --> 01:02:56,360
Speaker 2: and well the futures both have the markets are up

1205
01:02:56,440 --> 01:02:59,880
Speaker 2: early and oil prices are down early. Again, not saying

1206
01:02:59,880 --> 01:03:03,800
Speaker 2: it can't change, but the point is the daily hysterics

1207
01:03:03,800 --> 01:03:07,440
Speaker 2: of the world's coming to an end. I mean it's

1208
01:03:07,440 --> 01:03:09,919
Speaker 2: not true at this hour. No.

1209
01:03:10,120 --> 01:03:13,760
Speaker 3: I have heard the predictions though. Yes, with that straight

1210
01:03:13,800 --> 01:03:17,280
Speaker 3: of Hormez or whatever their horm moves, yeah, Hormos. Sorry

1211
01:03:17,320 --> 01:03:20,240
Speaker 3: that with that closed down, that is going to cause problems.

1212
01:03:20,280 --> 01:03:22,840
Speaker 3: But I mean it's not We do have a drill,

1213
01:03:22,840 --> 01:03:24,680
Speaker 3: baby drill. We're doing fine on that front. But as

1214
01:03:24,680 --> 01:03:27,000
Speaker 3: far as shipping and around is going to be a problem.

1215
01:03:27,040 --> 01:03:29,200
Speaker 2: So I will tell you on that. I'm glad you

1216
01:03:29,240 --> 01:03:31,880
Speaker 2: brought that up because here's something else that most media

1217
01:03:31,920 --> 01:03:33,400
Speaker 2: is not going to tell you today. I was just

1218
01:03:33,440 --> 01:03:37,480
Speaker 2: reading about this this morning. So why primarily have all

1219
01:03:37,520 --> 01:03:39,520
Speaker 2: the oil price as you understand, it's straight of Hormos

1220
01:03:39,520 --> 01:03:41,360
Speaker 2: you bring up, that's a shipping lane for oil that

1221
01:03:41,440 --> 01:03:44,960
Speaker 2: comes out of that region. Why do you understand oil

1222
01:03:45,000 --> 01:03:48,240
Speaker 2: price is going up right now. What's your understanding of this.

1223
01:03:48,680 --> 01:03:51,280
Speaker 3: Is that it's with it closed right now for war

1224
01:03:51,440 --> 01:03:53,000
Speaker 3: pretty much, so they're not going to be able to

1225
01:03:53,040 --> 01:03:55,680
Speaker 3: transport oil that way, you know, whether we control it

1226
01:03:55,800 --> 01:03:56,400
Speaker 3: or Iran does.

1227
01:03:57,600 --> 01:04:00,720
Speaker 2: Iran, though we understands more or less new, their navy

1228
01:04:00,720 --> 01:04:06,240
Speaker 2: has been completely destroyed, right so it isn't actually true

1229
01:04:06,520 --> 01:04:08,560
Speaker 2: that they have the power to shut the Strait of

1230
01:04:08,560 --> 01:04:13,040
Speaker 2: Horn moves down. What is true is these oil companies

1231
01:04:13,040 --> 01:04:15,680
Speaker 2: and tankers that are sitting there right now are thinking

1232
01:04:15,720 --> 01:04:18,200
Speaker 2: to themselves. And if you're an oil company with a

1233
01:04:18,240 --> 01:04:20,480
Speaker 2: tanker full of oil right now, what are you thinking?

1234
01:04:21,080 --> 01:04:24,880
Speaker 2: Even if you know Iran's military is mostly destroyed at

1235
01:04:24,880 --> 01:04:28,080
Speaker 2: this point, what are you thinking if you're an oil company.

1236
01:04:28,280 --> 01:04:33,520
Speaker 3: I'm thinking the ship might get blown up, right, I'm

1237
01:04:33,520 --> 01:04:34,600
Speaker 3: not going anywhere.

1238
01:04:35,000 --> 01:04:37,680
Speaker 2: I Am going to sit still. I don't want some

1239
01:04:38,080 --> 01:04:43,360
Speaker 2: random rocket explosive ied drawn. I'm not moving. I'm sitting still.

1240
01:04:45,640 --> 01:04:51,160
Speaker 2: Insurance Lloyd's of London, big insurer of this stuff, and

1241
01:04:51,240 --> 01:04:53,760
Speaker 2: Lloyd's of London said we're not ensuring these oil tankers

1242
01:04:53,880 --> 01:04:56,280
Speaker 2: at a time of war, and so that's why most

1243
01:04:56,280 --> 01:04:58,680
Speaker 2: of it's not moving, Not because Iran really has the

1244
01:04:58,720 --> 01:05:03,200
Speaker 2: capability of stopping the movement as much as the insurance

1245
01:05:03,240 --> 01:05:06,720
Speaker 2: pulled out of it. Well, the hidden choke point here.

1246
01:05:06,880 --> 01:05:11,520
Speaker 2: Donald Trump just instinctively injected his own will into this.

1247
01:05:11,760 --> 01:05:16,880
Speaker 2: And here's what he did. President Trump directed the US

1248
01:05:16,920 --> 01:05:21,800
Speaker 2: Development Finance Corporation to step in with political risk guarantees,

1249
01:05:22,880 --> 01:05:29,720
Speaker 2: navy escorts if necessary for ships transit transiting this narrow

1250
01:05:29,720 --> 01:05:31,920
Speaker 2: waterway the Straight of hornor moves carrying one fifth of

1251
01:05:31,920 --> 01:05:36,160
Speaker 2: the world's oil. He's basically saying, the United States government

1252
01:05:36,200 --> 01:05:38,320
Speaker 2: will back anything that happens to you as a company.

1253
01:05:39,760 --> 01:05:42,760
Speaker 2: Pretty clever, that's Trump. More a minute, Hey there, it's

1254
01:05:42,800 --> 01:05:44,720
Speaker 2: Chris back on the phone with my dentist and friend,

1255
01:05:44,760 --> 01:05:48,000
Speaker 2: Bob Spinato at Williamsburg Dental in Broomhall, Pennsylvania, just off

1256
01:05:48,040 --> 01:05:50,200
Speaker 2: the Blue Route. With new technology, you have not just

1257
01:05:50,280 --> 01:05:53,000
Speaker 2: new associates, but they brought new technology into the business

1258
01:05:53,000 --> 01:05:54,600
Speaker 2: to make it a little easier for patients.

1259
01:05:54,680 --> 01:05:57,160
Speaker 17: Yeah, it's a very exciting time in dentistry. We have

1260
01:05:57,280 --> 01:06:01,040
Speaker 17: now introduced a three dimensional X ray go ct can

1261
01:06:01,120 --> 01:06:05,080
Speaker 17: in our office, which allows us to diagnose and things

1262
01:06:05,120 --> 01:06:08,320
Speaker 17: earlier for patients. My daughter is placing a lot of

1263
01:06:08,360 --> 01:06:11,360
Speaker 17: implants in the past that referred out as now being

1264
01:06:11,400 --> 01:06:14,440
Speaker 17: done in house. And we also we've been using dental

1265
01:06:14,600 --> 01:06:18,320
Speaker 17: or computer scanners who are taking impressions for crowns for

1266
01:06:18,360 --> 01:06:20,840
Speaker 17: about the last two to three years. We now have

1267
01:06:20,880 --> 01:06:22,960
Speaker 17: introduced the next step, which is a milling machine and

1268
01:06:23,000 --> 01:06:25,960
Speaker 17: anything now make crowns in the office. Things can be

1269
01:06:26,000 --> 01:06:28,680
Speaker 17: completed in the same day as opposed to having a

1270
01:06:28,720 --> 01:06:30,960
Speaker 17: temporary crown put on in three weeks later, coming back

1271
01:06:31,000 --> 01:06:32,560
Speaker 17: and having a permit cround put on. I think it's

1272
01:06:32,560 --> 01:06:34,480
Speaker 17: really a game changer and it's a time saver for

1273
01:06:34,520 --> 01:06:37,360
Speaker 17: our patients have to make multiple visits to the office, pick.

1274
01:06:37,240 --> 01:06:39,080
Speaker 2: Up the phone or go online make that appointment six

1275

Speaker 2: dash Dental dot com. Hey, everybody's trying to save money

1277
01:06:45,040 --> 01:06:47,320

1278
01:06:47,600 --> 01:06:50,080
Speaker 2: or if you're on Obamacare, you know how expensive those

1279
01:06:50,120 --> 01:06:52,640
Speaker 2: premiums are getting. It's why I've sent my own parents,

1280
01:06:52,680 --> 01:06:55,480
Speaker 2: my personal friends, and my colleagues to John Ruhlman and

1281
01:06:55,520 --> 01:06:58,600

1282
01:06:58,600 --> 01:07:01,240
Speaker 2: with one hundred different private head health insurance companies across

01:07:01,280 --> 01:07:03,960
Speaker 2: the country to find you the very best coverage at

1284
01:07:04,000 --> 01:07:07,080
Speaker 2: the very best rates. My own parents saved four hundred

1285
01:07:07,120 --> 01:07:10,080
Speaker 2: dollars a month each on their Medicare supplemental health insurance

1286

1290
01:07:22,160 --> 01:07:25,520
Speaker 2: friend who buys his own families health insurance out of pocket.

1291
01:07:25,640 --> 01:07:27,520
Speaker 2: I send him to John and now he's saving one

1292
01:07:27,520 --> 01:07:30,000
Speaker 2: thousand dollars a month. Listen, folks, this is one of

1298
01:07:44,880 --> 01:07:48,160
Speaker 2: It is a busy morning here on the Stigall Show,

1299
01:07:49,600 --> 01:07:52,560
Speaker 2: and we go right to Washington, DC this morning where

1300
01:07:52,640 --> 01:07:56,080
Speaker 2: the Secretary of War and the Joint Chief share are

1301
01:07:56,080 --> 01:07:59,080
Speaker 2: holding a press conference. They've just taken to the podium.

1302
01:07:59,240 --> 01:07:59,800
Speaker 2: Let's join it in.

1303
01:08:01,480 --> 01:08:05,640
Speaker 15: It means we will fly all day, all night, day

1304
01:08:05,640 --> 01:08:09,720
Speaker 15: and night, finding fixing and finishing the missiles and defense

1305
01:08:09,800 --> 01:08:14,280
Speaker 15: industrial base of the Iranian military, finding and fixing their

1306
01:08:14,400 --> 01:08:20,000
Speaker 15: leaders and their military leaders, flying over Tehran, flying over Iran,

1307
01:08:20,680 --> 01:08:25,639
Speaker 15: flying over their capital, flying over the IRGC, Iranian leaders,

1308
01:08:26,800 --> 01:08:33,639
Speaker 15: looking up and seeing only US and Israeli airpower every

1309
01:08:33,680 --> 01:08:39,320
Speaker 15: minute of every day. Until we decide it's over in Iran,

1310
01:08:40,000 --> 01:08:42,080
Speaker 15: we'll be able to do nothing about it.

1311
01:08:43,160 --> 01:08:44,760
Speaker 18: B two S B fifty two S.

1312
01:08:44,680 --> 01:08:49,800
Speaker 15: B ones, predator drones, fighters controlling the skies, picking targets,

1313
01:08:50,160 --> 01:08:54,920
Speaker 15: death and destruction from the sky all day long.

1314
01:08:56,520 --> 01:08:57,559
Speaker 18: We're playing for keeps.

1315
01:08:58,360 --> 01:09:01,639
Speaker 15: Our war fighters have maximum of authorities granted personally by

1316
01:09:01,640 --> 01:09:06,800
Speaker 15: the President and yours truly. Our rules of engagement are bold, precise,

1317
01:09:07,280 --> 01:09:11,439
Speaker 15: and designed to unleash American power, not shackle it. This

1318
01:09:11,640 --> 01:09:15,320
Speaker 15: was never meant to be a fair fight, and it

1319
01:09:15,520 --> 01:09:18,880
Speaker 15: is not a fair fight. We are punching them while

1320
01:09:18,880 --> 01:09:24,120
Speaker 15: they're down, which is exactly how it should be. Thus far,

1321
01:09:24,240 --> 01:09:27,519
Speaker 15: Operation Epic Fury has delivered twice the air power of

1322
01:09:27,600 --> 01:09:30,559
Speaker 15: shock and awe of Iraq in two thousand and three.

1323
01:09:31,040 --> 01:09:36,200
Speaker 15: Minus Paul Bremer and the nation building, the campaign has

1324
01:09:36,400 --> 01:09:40,240
Speaker 15: seven times the intensity of Israel's previous operations against Iran

1325
01:09:40,400 --> 01:09:44,960
Speaker 15: during the Twelve Day War seven times, and as President

1326
01:09:44,960 --> 01:09:48,400
Speaker 15: Trump said, more and larger waves are coming. We are

1327
01:09:48,560 --> 01:09:54,800
Speaker 15: just getting started. We are accelerating, not decelerating. Ouran's capabilities

1328
01:09:54,800 --> 01:09:58,599
Speaker 15: are evaporating by the hour, while American strength grows fiercer, smarter,

1329
01:09:58,760 --> 01:10:03,080
Speaker 15: and utterly die. More bombers and more fighters are arriving.

1330
01:10:03,439 --> 01:10:08,320
Speaker 15: Just today and now, with complete control of the skies,

1331
01:10:09,160 --> 01:10:11,920
Speaker 15: we will be using five hundred pound, one thousand pound

1332
01:10:12,479 --> 01:10:17,280
Speaker 15: and two thousand pounds GPS and laser guided precision gravity bombs,

1333
01:10:18,160 --> 01:10:19,120
Speaker 15: of which we have.

1334
01:10:19,120 --> 01:10:21,040
Speaker 18: A nearly unlimited stockpile.

1335
01:10:22,240 --> 01:10:25,519
Speaker 15: We used more exquisite standoff munitions at the start, but

1336
01:10:25,600 --> 01:10:29,280
Speaker 15: no longer need to. Our stockpiles of those, as well

1337
01:10:29,320 --> 01:10:34,639
Speaker 15: as Patriots remains extremely strong. The enemy can no longer

1338
01:10:34,680 --> 01:10:38,559
Speaker 15: shoot the volume of missiles they once did not even close, and.

1339
01:10:38,640 --> 01:10:40,720
Speaker 18: The Chairman will lay out some of those percentages.

1340
01:10:41,479 --> 01:10:43,760
Speaker 15: So our air defenses and that of our allies have

1341
01:10:43,960 --> 01:10:45,760
Speaker 15: plenty of runway.

1342
01:10:45,880 --> 01:10:49,760
Speaker 18: We can sustain this fight easily for as long as

1343
01:10:49,760 --> 01:10:50,160
Speaker 18: we need to.

1344
01:10:51,280 --> 01:10:51,840
Speaker 2: And as I.

1345
01:10:51,760 --> 01:10:54,439
Speaker 18: Said yesterday, we set the terms.

1346
01:10:55,400 --> 01:10:57,320
Speaker 15: Now you may not see much of it because the

1347
01:10:57,320 --> 01:10:59,920
Speaker 15: IRGC shut off the Internet to the entirety of the country.

1348
01:11:00,160 --> 01:11:04,519
Speaker 15: They blind their people on purpose, just like they killed

1349
01:11:04,520 --> 01:11:08,880
Speaker 15: their own on purpose. Much was made of the volume

1350
01:11:08,920 --> 01:11:10,599
Speaker 15: of missiles Iran was able to shoot in the first

1351
01:11:10,640 --> 01:11:15,240
Speaker 15: few days, and sadly, as we projected, a few got

1352
01:11:15,280 --> 01:11:17,800
Speaker 15: through and killed six of.

1353
01:11:17,840 --> 01:11:20,840
Speaker 18: Our best, who will hopefully arrive home soon.

1354
01:11:22,120 --> 01:11:27,800
Speaker 15: We will avenge them no doubt, But I liken Iran's

1355
01:11:27,840 --> 01:11:30,240
Speaker 15: predicament to a football team who.

1356
01:11:30,200 --> 01:11:32,160
Speaker 18: Scripted the first twenty plays of a game.

1357
01:11:33,080 --> 01:11:35,639
Speaker 15: The team knew what plays to run because their first

1358
01:11:35,640 --> 01:11:37,320
Speaker 15: few drives were scripted.

1359
01:11:38,400 --> 01:11:41,120
Speaker 18: But now that the game has started and the blitz

1360
01:11:41,320 --> 01:11:41,679
Speaker 18: is on.

1361
01:11:42,600 --> 01:11:44,800
Speaker 15: They don't know what plays to call, let alone how

1362
01:11:44,840 --> 01:11:49,240
Speaker 15: to get in the huddle and call those plays. Iran's

1363
01:11:49,240 --> 01:11:52,800
Speaker 15: senior leaders are dead. The so called governing council that

1364
01:11:52,880 --> 01:11:57,839
Speaker 15: might have selected a successor dead, missing or cowering in bunkers,

1365
01:11:57,840 --> 01:12:02,439
Speaker 15: too terrified to even occupy the same room. Senior general's,

1366
01:12:02,479 --> 01:12:05,360
Speaker 15: midlevel officers, and listed ranks. They can't talk or communicate,

1367
01:12:05,439 --> 01:12:08,880
Speaker 15: let alone amount a coordinated and sustained offensive.

1368
01:12:09,640 --> 01:12:11,240
Speaker 18: That's not great for morale.

1369
01:12:12,439 --> 01:12:16,120
Speaker 15: The Iranian Air Force is no more built for nineteen

1370
01:12:16,200 --> 01:12:21,240
Speaker 15: ninety six, destroyed in twenty twenty six. The Iranian Navy

1371
01:12:21,360 --> 01:12:27,720
Speaker 15: rests at the bottom of the Persian Gulf. Combat ineffective, decimated, destroyed, defeated,

1372
01:12:28,439 --> 01:12:29,320
Speaker 15: Pick your adjective.

1373
01:12:29,720 --> 01:12:30,799
Speaker 18: In fact, last night.

1374
01:12:31,320 --> 01:12:36,479
Speaker 15: We sunk their prize ship, the Solomania looks like putt

1375
01:12:36,520 --> 01:12:38,160
Speaker 15: this guid him twice.

1376
01:12:39,520 --> 01:12:42,320
Speaker 18: Their navy not a factor. Pick your adjective. It is

1377
01:12:42,400 --> 01:12:42,880
Speaker 18: no more.

1378
01:12:43,160 --> 01:12:47,599
Speaker 15: In fact, yesterday in the Indian Ocean, and we'll play

1379
01:12:47,600 --> 01:12:51,799
Speaker 15: it on screen, there an American submarine sunk an Iranian

1380
01:12:51,840 --> 01:12:57,439
Speaker 15: warship that thought it was safe in international waters. Instead

1381
01:12:57,439 --> 01:12:59,240
Speaker 15: it was sunk by a torpedo.

1382
01:12:59,520 --> 01:13:00,439
Speaker 18: Quiet death.

1383
01:13:01,640 --> 01:13:03,919
Speaker 15: The first sinking of an enemy ship by a torpedo

1384
01:13:03,960 --> 01:13:08,360
Speaker 15: since World War II. Like in that war, back when

1385
01:13:08,439 --> 01:13:11,479
Speaker 15: we were still in the war department, we are fighting

1386
01:13:11,840 --> 01:13:12,200
Speaker 15: to win.

1387
01:13:13,880 --> 01:13:16,240
Speaker 18: Also, yesterday, the leader of.

1388
01:13:16,160 --> 01:13:19,800
Speaker 15: The unit who attempted to assassinate President Trump has been

1389
01:13:19,880 --> 01:13:21,200
Speaker 15: hunted down and killed.

1390
01:13:22,400 --> 01:13:25,800
Speaker 18: Iran tried to kill President Trump, and President Trump got

1391
01:13:25,800 --> 01:13:32,320
Speaker 18: the last laugh. Now, this is not a mission accomplished situation.

1392
01:13:34,439 --> 01:13:36,280
Speaker 18: This is simply a reality check.

1393
01:13:37,720 --> 01:13:41,920
Speaker 15: The combination of US and Israeli intelligence and combat power

1394
01:13:42,160 --> 01:13:45,800
Speaker 15: will control Iran and will control it soon.

1395
01:13:47,200 --> 01:13:49,760
Speaker 18: Sure, Iran will still be able to shoot some missiles.

1396
01:13:50,120 --> 01:13:52,400
Speaker 15: And still be able to launch one way attack drones

1397
01:13:52,439 --> 01:13:55,759
Speaker 15: at civilian targets and their properties, will attempt to attack

1398
01:13:55,760 --> 01:14:01,120
Speaker 15: our embassies, bases, and soft targets. They are terrorists after all,

1399
01:14:01,840 --> 01:14:05,360
Speaker 15: and they need to target civilians because they can't fight

1400
01:14:05,479 --> 01:14:08,559
Speaker 15: toe to toe. But we will find them and we

1401
01:14:08,600 --> 01:14:09,240
Speaker 15: will kill them.

1402
01:14:11,120 --> 01:14:12,960
Speaker 18: This is what the fake news misses.

1403
01:14:14,200 --> 01:14:18,639
Speaker 15: We've taken control of Iran's airspace and waterways without boots

1404
01:14:18,680 --> 01:14:19,200
Speaker 15: on the ground.

1405
01:14:20,320 --> 01:14:21,360
Speaker 18: We control their fate.

1406
01:14:22,280 --> 01:14:26,160
Speaker 15: But when a few drones get through or tragic things happen,

1407
01:14:27,200 --> 01:14:28,320
Speaker 15: it's front page news.

1408
01:14:28,920 --> 01:14:29,280
Speaker 2: I get it.

1409
01:14:29,280 --> 01:14:31,360
Speaker 15: The press only wants to make the president look bad,

1410
01:14:31,600 --> 01:14:35,959
Speaker 15: but try for once to report the reality. The terms

1411
01:14:36,000 --> 01:14:38,960
Speaker 15: of this war will be set by us at every step.

1412
01:14:40,400 --> 01:14:44,880
Speaker 15: As I said Monday, the mission is laser focused. Obliterate

1413
01:14:44,920 --> 01:14:48,480
Speaker 15: Iran's missiles and drones and facilities that produce them, annihilate

1414
01:14:48,560 --> 01:14:52,439
Speaker 15: its navy and critical security infrastructure, and sever their pathway

1415
01:14:52,479 --> 01:14:56,240
Speaker 15: to nuclear weapons. Iran will never possess a nuclear bomb,

1416
01:14:56,800 --> 01:15:00,479
Speaker 15: not on our watch, not ever. And this is why

1417
01:15:00,479 --> 01:15:03,759
Speaker 15: President Trump's moral clarity and Iran today is so vital.

1418
01:15:04,600 --> 01:15:05,879
Speaker 18: Unlike the past, where.

1419
01:15:05,720 --> 01:15:10,160
Speaker 15: Vague redlines and endless negotiations let Iran fund terror, an inch,

1420
01:15:10,200 --> 01:15:13,960
Speaker 15: ever so slightly toward a bomb. This president sees the

1421
01:15:13,960 --> 01:15:18,200
Speaker 15: threat plainly enacts decisively. No more half measures, especially when

1422
01:15:18,240 --> 01:15:21,960
Speaker 15: Iran is at its weakest, No more letting Tehran play

1423
01:15:22,000 --> 01:15:25,799
Speaker 15: for time while our people pay the price. His leadership

1424
01:15:25,920 --> 01:15:28,800
Speaker 15: ensures that we finish what we start, and that we

1425
01:15:28,880 --> 01:15:32,680
Speaker 15: protect our warfighters by crushing the enemy before they can

1426
01:15:32,680 --> 01:15:33,479
Speaker 15: strike again.

1427
01:15:34,600 --> 01:15:38,240
Speaker 18: Our offensive operations, refined through months of relentless.

1428
01:15:37,720 --> 01:15:45,599
Speaker 15: Preparation, are unstoppable, and our defensive efforts are unprecedented. We

1429
01:15:45,640 --> 01:15:48,400
Speaker 15: have from the start but the protection of our troops

1430
01:15:48,400 --> 01:15:54,200
Speaker 15: ahead of everything else. Before we very publicly built up

1431
01:15:54,240 --> 01:15:59,519
Speaker 15: offensive combat power, we quietly ensured that our defensive posture

1432
01:15:59,600 --> 01:16:03,120
Speaker 15: and power was in place, And as we built up

1433
01:16:03,120 --> 01:16:06,960
Speaker 15: offensive combat power, we moved the vast majority of American troops,

1434
01:16:07,360 --> 01:16:10,400
Speaker 15: over ninety percent of Americans that were on our basis

1435
01:16:10,600 --> 01:16:13,880
Speaker 15: what we say off the X, out of the range

1436
01:16:13,880 --> 01:16:14,960
Speaker 15: of Iranian fire.

1437
01:16:16,400 --> 01:16:18,640
Speaker 18: Our defensive shield is equally formidable.

1438
01:16:19,120 --> 01:16:22,639
Speaker 15: The most sophisticated air and missile defense network ever fielded.

1439
01:16:23,200 --> 01:16:25,520
Speaker 18: Thousands of Iranian missiles and drones.

1440
01:16:25,160 --> 01:16:29,400
Speaker 15: Have been intercepted and vaporized, tens of thousands of American

1441
01:16:29,439 --> 01:16:31,280
Speaker 15: and Allied lives protected.

1442
01:16:32,520 --> 01:16:35,600
Speaker 18: We have put every counter uas system possible.

1443
01:16:35,200 --> 01:16:39,360
Speaker 15: Forward sparing no expense or capability. And like I said,

1444
01:16:39,360 --> 01:16:42,200
Speaker 15: this does not mean we can stop everything, but we

1445
01:16:42,320 --> 01:16:45,840
Speaker 15: ensured that the maximum possible defense and maximum possible force

1446
01:16:45,920 --> 01:16:51,439
Speaker 15: protection was set up before we went on offense. In closing,

1447
01:16:51,479 --> 01:16:56,760
Speaker 15: as President Trump told German Chancellor Mertz, yesterday, Iran negotiated

1448
01:16:56,800 --> 01:17:01,519
Speaker 15: in bad faith, stalling, scheming and preparing just and we

1449
01:17:01,600 --> 01:17:06,200
Speaker 15: acted decisively to defend our people, our interests, and our allies.

1450
01:17:07,200 --> 01:17:11,599
Speaker 15: President Trump took bold action, putting America first, the kind

1451
01:17:11,600 --> 01:17:13,720
Speaker 15: of bold action that the American.

1452
01:17:13,200 --> 01:17:15,200
Speaker 18: People elected him to execute.

1453
01:17:16,680 --> 01:17:22,040
Speaker 15: To our steadfast partner, Israel, your mission is being executed

1454
01:17:22,040 --> 01:17:26,759
Speaker 15: with unmatched skill and iron determination. Fighting shoulder to shoulder

1455
01:17:26,840 --> 01:17:30,800
Speaker 15: with such a capable ally is a true force multiplier

1456
01:17:31,439 --> 01:17:35,519
Speaker 15: and a breath of fresh air. We salute your courage

1457
01:17:36,479 --> 01:17:41,880
Speaker 15: and your contribution. Four days in, we have only just

1458
01:17:42,240 --> 01:17:47,759
Speaker 15: begun to fight. America fights to win, and in Operation

1459
01:17:47,880 --> 01:17:53,320
Speaker 15: Epic Fury, we are May God's providence cover and protect.

1460
01:17:53,200 --> 01:17:56,640
Speaker 18: Our troops always. And with that I turn it over

1461
01:17:56,680 --> 01:17:58,560
Speaker 18: to the chermany thank you, Miss Strictury.

1462
01:18:00,120 --> 01:18:01,880
Speaker 2: With that, here on the Salem News Channel and the

1463
01:18:01,920 --> 01:18:04,599
Speaker 2: Salem Radio Network, we will jump out only because now

1464
01:18:04,600 --> 01:18:07,439
Speaker 2: we're going to start talking about some operational specifics with

1465
01:18:07,520 --> 01:18:10,240
Speaker 2: the Joint Chiefs Chairman. This would be a good opportunity

1466
01:18:10,240 --> 01:18:13,040
Speaker 2: to kind of take a quick break here those of

1467
01:18:13,080 --> 01:18:15,879
Speaker 2: you that are just joining us and you miss those remarks.

1468
01:18:16,320 --> 01:18:19,200
Speaker 2: I took some notes, going to come back calm through

1469
01:18:19,200 --> 01:18:20,559
Speaker 2: a few of them. Then we're going to talk with

1470
01:18:20,600 --> 01:18:26,040
Speaker 2: Lieutenant General Keith Kellogg from the Trump administration, now on

1471
01:18:26,120 --> 01:18:28,320
Speaker 2: the outside, but just very recently. He was in the

1472
01:18:28,400 --> 01:18:30,880
Speaker 2: room for much of these discussions with Ukraine and Russia.

1473
01:18:31,640 --> 01:18:35,360
Speaker 2: What perspective does he have. It's going to be pretty

1474
01:18:35,360 --> 01:18:39,720
Speaker 2: critical to hear. Coming up. Good morning, New York. We're

1475

Speaker 2: of course the Just Audio podcast. If you just like

1487
01:19:14,479 --> 01:19:16,960
Speaker 2: to listen, maybe you only catch a certain hour of

1488
01:19:17,000 --> 01:19:20,000
Speaker 2: the show because your radio station doesn't carry the full show.

Speaker 2: C H R I S S T I G A

1501
01:19:56,439 --> 01:19:59,120
Speaker 2: L L. It's all at Christigall dot com too, by

1502
01:19:59,120 --> 01:20:01,479
Speaker 2: the way, if you'd like to look up there. Secretary

1503
01:20:01,520 --> 01:20:04,160
Speaker 2: of War Pete Heggsath and the Joint Chief Chair Dan

1504
01:20:04,240 --> 01:20:08,000
Speaker 2: Raisin Kine. He is still speaking right now live at

1505
01:20:08,000 --> 01:20:10,519
Speaker 2: the Pentagon kind of giving some operational details, but let

1506
01:20:10,600 --> 01:20:13,200
Speaker 2: me go over what we know. What Pete Hegsith said

1507
01:20:13,240 --> 01:20:15,760
Speaker 2: just a little while ago about Operation Epic Fury. Some

1508
01:20:15,760 --> 01:20:18,439
Speaker 2: of the highlights are things that I thought were interesting. Anyway,

1509
01:20:19,240 --> 01:20:23,679
Speaker 2: he said, every minute of every day, this will continue

1510
01:20:23,720 --> 01:20:29,080
Speaker 2: until we decide it's over. He said, death and destruction

1511
01:20:29,439 --> 01:20:32,759
Speaker 2: all day long. That is all anyone in Iran's leadership

1512
01:20:32,800 --> 01:20:34,800
Speaker 2: is going to see until we decide this is over.

1513
01:20:35,600 --> 01:20:37,400
Speaker 2: He said. It's not a fair fight, and it's not

1514
01:20:37,600 --> 01:20:39,799
Speaker 2: meant to be a fair fight. We're going to continue

1515
01:20:39,800 --> 01:20:45,600
Speaker 2: to punch them while they're down. He said. We are accelerating.

1516
01:20:46,040 --> 01:20:50,080
Speaker 2: These attacks were not decelerating. It's the Secretary of War

1517
01:20:50,080 --> 01:20:53,639
Speaker 2: Pete Hegsath. This morning, he said, more fighters and more

1518
01:20:53,680 --> 01:20:58,760
Speaker 2: bombers are arriving today, precision gravity bombs. We have an

1519
01:20:59,080 --> 01:21:02,000
Speaker 2: unlimited style pile of them and more on the way.

1520
01:21:03,680 --> 01:21:06,400
Speaker 2: We can easily sustain this fight as long as we

1521
01:21:06,600 --> 01:21:13,719
Speaker 2: need to, he said. He said Iran's leaders are either dead, missing,

1522
01:21:14,439 --> 01:21:20,360
Speaker 2: or cowering. Their military leaders cannot communicate. He said. The

1523
01:21:20,400 --> 01:21:23,200
Speaker 2: Iranian navy has been decimated at the bottom of the

1524
01:21:23,200 --> 01:21:29,320
Speaker 2: Persian Gulf. Their air defenses are no more. We sunk

1525
01:21:29,600 --> 01:21:35,160
Speaker 2: their prize ship, said the Secretary of War. Interesting note

1526
01:21:35,600 --> 01:21:38,200
Speaker 2: they sunk a vessel in the Indian Ocean of Iran's.

1527
01:21:38,240 --> 01:21:40,559
Speaker 2: He said, this is the first sinking of an enemy

1528
01:21:40,640 --> 01:21:45,800
Speaker 2: ship by torpedo since World War Two. I thought that

1529
01:21:45,880 --> 01:21:48,400
Speaker 2: was an interesting note. They shot a torpedo from a

1530
01:21:48,439 --> 01:21:50,360
Speaker 2: sub and took out their prize ship, one of their

1531
01:21:50,360 --> 01:21:54,000
Speaker 2: prize ships in the Indian Ocean. He said, specifically, this

1532
01:21:54,120 --> 01:21:59,559
Speaker 2: is not mission accomplished. It's a reality check. We will

1533
01:21:59,560 --> 01:22:02,559
Speaker 2: soon have control of both their waterways and all of

1534
01:22:02,600 --> 01:22:05,960
Speaker 2: their air. The terms of this will be set by

1535
01:22:06,040 --> 01:22:10,280
Speaker 2: us at every step. The Secretary of War, Pete heggsith

1536
01:22:10,360 --> 01:22:13,200
Speaker 2: on Operation Epic Fury more in a minute. It is

1537
01:22:13,200 --> 01:22:15,320
Speaker 2: a real thrill and honor to be joined again. It's

1538
01:22:15,320 --> 01:22:16,840
Speaker 2: been a long while since we've been able to talk

1539
01:22:16,840 --> 01:22:18,519
Speaker 2: to him because he'd been pretty busy. He joined the

1540
01:22:18,520 --> 01:22:21,640
Speaker 2: Trump administration and immediately went right to work on the

1541
01:22:21,680 --> 01:22:25,960
Speaker 2: situation between Ukraine and Russia. Lieutenant General Keith Kellogg, former

1542
01:22:26,120 --> 01:22:29,240
Speaker 2: Special Envoy to Ukraine and Russia for the Trump administration,

1543
01:22:29,600 --> 01:22:32,920
Speaker 2: author of the book War By Other Means General, it's

1544
01:22:32,960 --> 01:22:34,639
Speaker 2: been a bit and we're thrilled to have you back, sir,

1545
01:22:34,680 --> 01:22:35,719
Speaker 2: thanks for your time this morning.

1546
01:22:36,200 --> 01:22:38,600
Speaker 6: Hey Chris, thanks for having me and it's going to

1547
01:22:38,600 --> 01:22:39,280
Speaker 6: be with you again.

1548
01:22:40,880 --> 01:22:43,719
Speaker 2: Of course. First of all, if I could just broadly

1549
01:22:43,920 --> 01:22:49,320
Speaker 2: ask of you, what's your perspective after a year in

1550
01:22:49,360 --> 01:22:52,360
Speaker 2: this Trump administration and your time being in the room

1551
01:22:52,439 --> 01:22:57,080
Speaker 2: having discussions on things like Russia and Ukraine. I know

1552
01:22:57,120 --> 01:22:59,040
Speaker 2: we weren't directly involved in a conflict like we are

1553
01:22:59,080 --> 01:23:02,800
Speaker 2: in Iran, but what can you tell us what perspective

1554
01:23:02,880 --> 01:23:04,240
Speaker 2: do you have to bring to the table for us

1555
01:23:04,240 --> 01:23:04,840
Speaker 2: this morning on that?

1556
01:23:05,720 --> 01:23:09,200
Speaker 6: Yeah, well, we when we were working with Zelenski and

1557
01:23:09,320 --> 01:23:11,920
Speaker 6: um we're off and bredonof and the rest of the team,

1558
01:23:12,560 --> 01:23:15,320
Speaker 6: we basically got Ukraine into the box, I mean issue

1559
01:23:15,320 --> 01:23:18,439
Speaker 6: where they wanted to go, the real empannement, the progress

1560
01:23:18,439 --> 01:23:21,800
Speaker 6: of Vladimir Prutin. He just didn't want to compromise, he

1561
01:23:21,840 --> 01:23:25,040
Speaker 6: didn't want to have really good talks. And he's talking

1562
01:23:25,080 --> 01:23:28,800
Speaker 6: about and there's really four provinces they call him oblasts

1563
01:23:28,880 --> 01:23:31,839
Speaker 6: over there, like states and it's really in the NORTHSS

1564
01:23:31,880 --> 01:23:34,280
Speaker 6: lou Hanson, you have doing this, then you have his

1565
01:23:34,320 --> 01:23:38,160
Speaker 6: operation in New kriskasan primeal lists leader at a Loo

1566
01:23:38,320 --> 01:23:40,679
Speaker 6: table right now and he wanted to have control of them.

1567
01:23:41,040 --> 01:23:43,560
Speaker 6: They wanted Ukraine to do up Land, and Ukraine is

1568
01:23:43,600 --> 01:23:45,360
Speaker 6: not going to go there. And I said that repeatedly

1569
01:23:45,960 --> 01:23:48,080
Speaker 6: to anybody who would listened to being an Alphai or

1570
01:23:48,160 --> 01:23:51,240
Speaker 6: being the president, that if the Russian wants that, Thinkuna

1571
01:23:51,240 --> 01:23:53,800
Speaker 6: have to fight for it. When you look at their

1572
01:23:53,800 --> 01:23:57,760
Speaker 6: invasion of over four years ago, they've taken after the

1573
01:23:57,760 --> 01:24:00,599
Speaker 6: invasion land they take them, they're only taking one percent

1574
01:24:00,640 --> 01:24:03,200
Speaker 6: of the cost of one point two to one point

1575
01:24:03,240 --> 01:24:07,599
Speaker 6: four million soldiers in Russia either killed or wounded. Got

1576
01:24:07,600 --> 01:24:12,000
Speaker 6: a point. They left Afghanistan after losing eighteen thousand, so

1577
01:24:12,439 --> 01:24:14,800
Speaker 6: you know their loss has been fem minus. Their first

1578
01:24:14,880 --> 01:24:17,240
Speaker 6: line units are mauled. So it's almost you want to

1579
01:24:17,240 --> 01:24:19,759
Speaker 6: tell them, hey, call it a day and go home.

1580
01:24:20,160 --> 01:24:22,160
Speaker 6: But the problem is Prudent just wants to have He

1581
01:24:22,200 --> 01:24:25,719
Speaker 6: has this urge of being, you know, another Peter the Great,

1582
01:24:25,800 --> 01:24:28,120
Speaker 6: and if he doesn't watch out, he's going to be

1583
01:24:28,120 --> 01:24:31,320
Speaker 6: another Nicholas the Second, who is the last arm was killed.

1584
01:24:31,640 --> 01:24:35,120
Speaker 6: You know, it's just it's an amazing process. It's amazing

1585
01:24:35,160 --> 01:24:39,040
Speaker 6: to watch it. I've been in the Kiev multiple times, Arkie.

1586
01:24:39,080 --> 01:24:41,680
Speaker 6: I've been into the front lines as well and just

1587
01:24:41,840 --> 01:24:44,479
Speaker 6: washing him and said, you know, Russia really doesn't have

1588
01:24:44,520 --> 01:24:46,920
Speaker 6: a chance to coptre their goals. They can't take the

1589
01:24:47,000 --> 01:24:49,360
Speaker 6: crant I used to tell a president. There are people

1590
01:24:49,400 --> 01:24:52,880
Speaker 6: out there who think Russia is invincible. They are not.

1591
01:24:53,520 --> 01:24:55,760
Speaker 6: I mean they're down. They've lost that many people, they've

1592
01:24:55,760 --> 01:24:58,920
Speaker 6: lost their front line units, they're equipment damaged. You can

1593
01:24:59,000 --> 01:25:01,760
Speaker 6: see the part of their equipment isn't very Look what's

1594
01:25:01,760 --> 01:25:05,720
Speaker 6: happening in Iran. All this vaunting Russian equipment that was

1595
01:25:05,760 --> 01:25:08,639
Speaker 6: given to Iran has proven to be worthless. I mean,

1596
01:25:08,800 --> 01:25:11,720
Speaker 6: we haven't done any damage to us at all. So

1597
01:25:12,280 --> 01:25:15,280
Speaker 6: it's one of those it's a matter of time until

1598
01:25:15,800 --> 01:25:18,800
Speaker 6: he realizes this is a losing name forum. If he

1599
01:25:18,840 --> 01:25:21,360
Speaker 6: doesn't watch out, you know, he's going to somebody's going

1600
01:25:21,400 --> 01:25:23,400
Speaker 6: to take him out at for a while. Trouble is

1601
01:25:23,479 --> 01:25:27,720
Speaker 6: behind him, just more horrid lanners. So that's any kind

1602
01:25:27,720 --> 01:25:29,360
Speaker 6: of in a nutshell what it is.

1603
01:25:30,080 --> 01:25:32,920
Speaker 2: Thank you General. And so with that perspective, I pivot

1604
01:25:32,960 --> 01:25:35,519
Speaker 2: to Iran because they are somewhat linked in that. I

1605
01:25:35,520 --> 01:25:38,839
Speaker 2: think people have been watching very specifically China and Russia's

1606
01:25:38,880 --> 01:25:43,640
Speaker 2: reaction to our action there. I did not know. I

1607
01:25:43,760 --> 01:25:47,160
Speaker 2: learned in this and the Sentcom commander keyed us into

1608
01:25:47,160 --> 01:25:52,360
Speaker 2: this yesterday. Iran created some technology in drones that we

1609
01:25:52,520 --> 01:25:55,840
Speaker 2: didn't possess, and we actually acquired the knowledge of that

1610
01:25:55,880 --> 01:26:00,920
Speaker 2: technology on the battlefield between Ukraine Andrussia. Is that true,

1611
01:26:00,960 --> 01:26:02,559
Speaker 2: replicated it and used it on them.

1612
01:26:02,800 --> 01:26:04,960
Speaker 6: Correct, that's right, That's exactly right, Chris.

1613
01:26:05,000 --> 01:26:05,479
Speaker 2: What they've done.

1614
01:26:05,640 --> 01:26:09,200
Speaker 6: We call it Lucas. L Ucas which is low class

1615
01:26:11,960 --> 01:26:16,160
Speaker 6: combat air system and it's a drone. It looks exactly

1616
01:26:16,320 --> 01:26:18,800
Speaker 6: like what it's called. The she had one thirty six,

1617
01:26:19,280 --> 01:26:22,880
Speaker 6: which is a triangular drone and are pactically huge warheads,

1618
01:26:23,240 --> 01:26:25,679
Speaker 6: equip them two health fire missiles on the front of it,

1619
01:26:25,720 --> 01:26:28,400
Speaker 6: and it's a Kamakazi drawing. It's one way drone. It's

1620
01:26:28,439 --> 01:26:31,519
Speaker 6: a tact drone that you see see out there. But

1621
01:26:31,560 --> 01:26:34,200
Speaker 6: we reversed the technology and sent it right back to him.

1622
01:26:35,479 --> 01:26:38,080
Speaker 2: General. What does that tell you? I was not aware

1623
01:26:38,120 --> 01:26:41,800
Speaker 2: that Iran had weapons capability. We did not. That surprised me.

1624
01:26:41,840 --> 01:26:42,920
Speaker 2: Should it have surprised me?

1625
01:26:44,880 --> 01:26:47,240
Speaker 6: No? Yeah, yeah, it shouldn't surprise me. They're getting their

1626
01:26:47,240 --> 01:26:52,960
Speaker 6: equipment from being Russia or be it China or North Korea, whomever.

1627
01:26:53,360 --> 01:26:55,479
Speaker 6: I'm not surprised at all that they had this. Well,

1628
01:26:55,560 --> 01:26:58,360
Speaker 6: what they've done is they've it's been kind of low

1629
01:26:58,439 --> 01:27:02,080
Speaker 6: quality in the sense compared the US stuff that's out

1630
01:27:02,120 --> 01:27:06,040
Speaker 6: there right now, and we're really able to bring acception

1631
01:27:06,120 --> 01:27:08,600
Speaker 6: of combat power to the battlefield. When you look at

1632
01:27:08,600 --> 01:27:11,559
Speaker 6: the the Lucas, when you look at the Fronty two,

1633
01:27:11,600 --> 01:27:13,240
Speaker 6: the F thirty five, there'd be one to be two.

1634
01:27:13,360 --> 01:27:16,920
Speaker 6: The Patriots system, it's really first in class and there's

1635
01:27:16,920 --> 01:27:19,800
Speaker 6: really no second. And alls we've taken is we know

1636
01:27:19,840 --> 01:27:22,479
Speaker 6: that drones are going to be an important part of

1637
01:27:22,479 --> 01:27:24,559
Speaker 6: the next battlefield, sort of like when the machine gun

1638
01:27:24,640 --> 01:27:27,599
Speaker 6: came online or the tank came online, and the airplane

1639
01:27:27,680 --> 01:27:31,599
Speaker 6: came online. This will be the next generation of weapons

1640
01:27:31,640 --> 01:27:34,439
Speaker 6: of war. And we're you know, one thing about Americans,

1641
01:27:34,439 --> 01:27:38,000
Speaker 6: we learn really fast, and generally speaking, the other nations

1642
01:27:38,000 --> 01:27:42,440
Speaker 6: of the world, especially China, steals our stuff and replicates

1643
01:27:42,479 --> 01:27:45,040
Speaker 6: what we have on the ground, like FUS for example,

1644
01:27:45,120 --> 01:27:48,679
Speaker 6: the Chinese Jennif fifth generation fighters who are exa replica

1645
01:27:48,720 --> 01:27:51,840
Speaker 6: of the F thirty five. So I'm not surprised by

1646
01:27:51,840 --> 01:27:53,360
Speaker 6: it at all, Christ, But I'm not going to worry

1647
01:27:53,360 --> 01:27:55,640
Speaker 6: about it. I mean, they were they should worry about us.

1648
01:27:55,640 --> 01:27:56,800
Speaker 6: We shouldn't worry about them.

1649
01:27:57,560 --> 01:28:00,960
Speaker 2: Lieutenant General Keith Kellogg with this former Special on to

1650
01:28:01,160 --> 01:28:05,240
Speaker 2: Ukraine and Russia representing the Trump administration, and so glad

1651
01:28:05,280 --> 01:28:06,760
Speaker 2: to have you today, sir, as you give us some

1652
01:28:06,800 --> 01:28:09,120
Speaker 2: perspective on what the discussions have been in the room.

1653
01:28:09,160 --> 01:28:10,800
Speaker 2: I know you may not have physically been in the room,

1654
01:28:10,840 --> 01:28:14,120
Speaker 2: but you've very recently been in the room. Were you

1655
01:28:14,240 --> 01:28:17,880
Speaker 2: privy to this build up? The president striking Iran here

1656
01:28:17,880 --> 01:28:20,400
Speaker 2: in broad daylight over the weekend? Was that a surprise

1657
01:28:20,479 --> 01:28:21,960
Speaker 2: to you? Did you know this was coming?

1658
01:28:22,600 --> 01:28:24,800
Speaker 6: No, it wasn't a surprising me, Chris, you know it's coming.

1659
01:28:25,439 --> 01:28:27,400
Speaker 6: The one thing about the military is you build up

1660
01:28:27,400 --> 01:28:30,559
Speaker 6: combat power before you do something to have but ready

1661
01:28:30,600 --> 01:28:32,200
Speaker 6: to go. And they really did a good job. When

1662
01:28:32,240 --> 01:28:34,839
Speaker 6: you have two carrier strike groups, one in the Eastern

1663
01:28:34,880 --> 01:28:39,519
Speaker 6: med and one that you got outside the Persian Gulf,

1664
01:28:39,520 --> 01:28:41,280
Speaker 6: it doesn't surprise me at all because it kind of

1665
01:28:41,560 --> 01:28:45,200
Speaker 6: when you look at us and enveloping in in Saudi

1666
01:28:45,240 --> 01:28:49,160
Speaker 6: Arabia as well, and developed in Israel as well. None

1667
01:28:49,200 --> 01:28:51,280
Speaker 6: of that surprised me. As if you build up overwhelming

1668
01:28:51,320 --> 01:28:54,160
Speaker 6: combat power. Now, I will tell you I was what

1669
01:28:54,200 --> 01:29:00,120
Speaker 6: I was surprised about was that how? It wasn't the

1670
01:29:00,280 --> 01:29:03,840
Speaker 6: how how we are able to dominate the battlefield so

1671
01:29:04,000 --> 01:29:06,600
Speaker 6: fast within the last four or five days. You know,

1672
01:29:06,680 --> 01:29:08,920
Speaker 6: you think about it. You know Koen's got more kills

1673
01:29:08,960 --> 01:29:10,840
Speaker 6: than anybody else. Does you know? They shot down three

1674
01:29:10,840 --> 01:29:13,679
Speaker 6: of our effort of teams unfortunately, but nobody else has.

1675
01:29:14,160 --> 01:29:16,679
Speaker 6: And when you look at the combat power we've deployed,

1676
01:29:16,960 --> 01:29:20,200
Speaker 6: we've shut our entire navy, which is not very powerful.

1677
01:29:20,200 --> 01:29:22,040
Speaker 6: It's like eleven shifts from the fact that we didn't.

1678
01:29:22,439 --> 01:29:27,200
Speaker 6: We've reduced to your Republican Guard force. We've eliminated the leadership.

1679
01:29:27,240 --> 01:29:29,920
Speaker 6: You know, I couldn't tell you today who's really in charge,

1680
01:29:30,080 --> 01:29:32,679
Speaker 6: Who's gonna be here for the next five, six, seven hours.

1681
01:29:32,880 --> 01:29:34,760
Speaker 6: It's sort of like he is rarely to play a

1682
01:29:34,800 --> 01:29:37,040
Speaker 6: Lacker mobile, you know, in general.

1683
01:29:37,360 --> 01:29:39,960
Speaker 2: In charge, you're gone. That's one of the questions I

1684
01:29:40,000 --> 01:29:42,200
Speaker 2: wanted to ask you. Is your President Trump said, the

1685
01:29:42,200 --> 01:29:45,559
Speaker 2: worst case scenario is somebody as bad or worse than

1686
01:29:45,600 --> 01:29:50,640
Speaker 2: the Ayatota takes his place. We're very aware, and I

1687
01:29:50,640 --> 01:29:53,759
Speaker 2: think the Trump administration is aware. You're aware people don't

1688
01:29:53,760 --> 01:29:58,559
Speaker 2: have an appetite for regime change wars as they've been branded.

1689
01:30:00,000 --> 01:30:02,920
Speaker 2: But what of that? What if we go in and

1690
01:30:03,000 --> 01:30:07,040
Speaker 2: devastate Iran but in comes the son of the Ayatola

1691
01:30:07,200 --> 01:30:11,160
Speaker 2: and he's just as crazy or worse. Is that mission

1692
01:30:11,160 --> 01:30:12,800
Speaker 2: accomplished or is that a setback?

1693
01:30:13,600 --> 01:30:14,960
Speaker 6: Well, I don't think there's going to be there. I

1694
01:30:15,000 --> 01:30:17,799
Speaker 6: think we're going to allow a theocratic government in charge

1695
01:30:18,160 --> 01:30:20,800
Speaker 6: to why the Atola signer or whosever? That's out there

1696
01:30:21,080 --> 01:30:23,320
Speaker 6: and there are alternatives to do it. You know, I'm

1697
01:30:23,400 --> 01:30:26,960
Speaker 6: one of those individuals, probably only one in the administration

1698
01:30:27,479 --> 01:30:29,760
Speaker 6: that lived through the Iraq War and who we brought in.

1699
01:30:30,040 --> 01:30:32,160
Speaker 6: We made a mistake, for example, run this guy, I'm

1700
01:30:32,200 --> 01:30:36,360
Speaker 6: a Shamash Shaballe and he was like, there was a

1701
01:30:36,360 --> 01:30:38,880
Speaker 6: big mistake. So they've got to bring in the right government.

1702
01:30:38,920 --> 01:30:41,479
Speaker 6: There's people out there that can do that as well.

1703
01:30:41,520 --> 01:30:43,679
Speaker 6: We just have to get rid of the Republican guard

1704
01:30:43,720 --> 01:30:48,200
Speaker 6: leadership in the Moo states in eliminated theocratic government. You know,

1705
01:30:48,240 --> 01:30:51,040
Speaker 6: when you look at Ran, which is really the old Persia,

1706
01:30:51,240 --> 01:30:53,400
Speaker 6: you know, it's been around for over twenty five hundred years.

1707
01:30:53,439 --> 01:30:56,519
Speaker 6: We're around for two hundred and fifty. They've been around forever,

1708
01:30:56,600 --> 01:30:59,160
Speaker 6: and they're good people and we just haven't give them

1709
01:30:59,200 --> 01:31:02,759
Speaker 6: a chance to government shelves, and that will totally change

1710
01:31:03,160 --> 01:31:05,760
Speaker 6: the Middle East the way it is today as we

1711
01:31:05,800 --> 01:31:07,200
Speaker 6: see it in the future.

1712
01:31:07,240 --> 01:31:09,200
Speaker 2: So, General, I could I interrupt you on that point

1713
01:31:09,240 --> 01:31:12,040
Speaker 2: and just ask do you think we have to physically

1714
01:31:12,080 --> 01:31:15,160
Speaker 2: be involved in that transfer of power to a moderate

1715
01:31:15,280 --> 01:31:17,720
Speaker 2: government or do you think they'll accomplish that on their

1716
01:31:17,760 --> 01:31:18,679
Speaker 2: own in Iran?

1717
01:31:18,880 --> 01:31:21,360
Speaker 6: Well, I think we should keep our hand on it

1718
01:31:21,400 --> 01:31:24,240
Speaker 6: only because of what's I've seen, what's happened if we

1719
01:31:24,280 --> 01:31:27,200
Speaker 6: don't stay involved in it, and it's not where we're

1720
01:31:27,240 --> 01:31:28,760
Speaker 6: going to be involved in our government sort of like

1721
01:31:29,320 --> 01:31:31,519
Speaker 6: do you e xample do a transfer real quest like

1722
01:31:31,600 --> 01:31:34,760
Speaker 6: we're doing with Elsea Robjercas in Venzuela. We kind of

1723
01:31:34,800 --> 01:31:37,760
Speaker 6: have a hand on her shoulder and making sure she's

1724
01:31:37,760 --> 01:31:39,680
Speaker 6: guided the right way. She's not going back to the

1725
01:31:39,760 --> 01:31:42,200
Speaker 6: Cubans or anybody else, and I think we need.

1726
01:31:42,120 --> 01:31:44,120
Speaker 2: To Could I push on that, General again, I'm sorry

1727
01:31:44,120 --> 01:31:47,080
Speaker 2: to interrupt, I'm just I want to be clear. Do

1728
01:31:47,160 --> 01:31:50,280
Speaker 2: you think that means physical presence troops on the ground

1729
01:31:50,520 --> 01:31:51,760
Speaker 2: to oversee something like that?

1730
01:31:52,040 --> 01:31:54,599
Speaker 6: No, I don't christ the only place I would put

1731
01:31:54,720 --> 01:31:58,960
Speaker 6: combat troops and our explain why is of any nation

1732
01:31:59,160 --> 01:32:01,080
Speaker 6: is on and the person go up in a place

1733
01:32:01,080 --> 01:32:04,719
Speaker 6: called carg Island. Ninety percent of the oil from Iran

1734
01:32:05,439 --> 01:32:08,480
Speaker 6: goes to carg Island, which that's where they load the supertankers.

1735
01:32:09,160 --> 01:32:12,759
Speaker 6: Of that oil, eighty percent of that goes to China.

1736
01:32:13,360 --> 01:32:16,880
Speaker 6: That's ten percent of their oil imports. So when you

1737
01:32:16,920 --> 01:32:20,679
Speaker 6: have that and you have Venzuela, it affects China as well.

1738
01:32:20,960 --> 01:32:23,000
Speaker 6: And what Trump is doing, what we had done and

1739
01:32:23,080 --> 01:32:26,599
Speaker 6: Trump won, we had kept everybody separated, meaning the Russians

1740
01:32:26,600 --> 01:32:30,519
Speaker 6: over here, the North Koreans over here, Mid East over here, Iran.

1741
01:32:31,000 --> 01:32:33,439
Speaker 6: And when you and we kind of kept them over

1742
01:32:33,600 --> 01:32:37,080
Speaker 6: to separate, they came together, and we don't want them together.

1743
01:32:37,439 --> 01:32:40,360
Speaker 6: And by breaking them up economically, what you're doing, which

1744
01:32:40,400 --> 01:32:43,360
Speaker 6: would be really smart, is the only place I'd see troops

1745
01:32:43,360 --> 01:32:46,679
Speaker 6: on the ground is basically take over the oil from

1746
01:32:46,520 --> 01:32:50,400
Speaker 6: It's an island, it's offshore, we're not on shore. I

1747
01:32:50,400 --> 01:32:52,559
Speaker 6: don't think you're the pro troops into Iran. You know,

1748
01:32:52,600 --> 01:32:54,680
Speaker 6: when I recommanded the armies eighty second one of the

1749
01:32:54,680 --> 01:32:57,360
Speaker 6: warplanes we had was to do the invasion of Iran.

1750
01:32:57,560 --> 01:32:59,799
Speaker 6: That's almost too hard. You've got to look at the Jonervier.

1751
01:33:00,000 --> 01:33:00,720
Speaker 6: It's a tough thing to do.

1752
01:33:01,920 --> 01:33:03,439
Speaker 2: I don't know if you have the ability, and if

1753
01:33:03,479 --> 01:33:05,519
Speaker 2: you don't, I understand. I got to take a break.

1754
01:33:05,560 --> 01:33:07,400
Speaker 2: If you can stay with us for another segment, I'd

1755
01:33:07,479 --> 01:33:09,400
Speaker 2: value it. If you can't, I thank you very much

1756
01:33:09,439 --> 01:33:10,280
Speaker 2: for your time.

1757
01:33:10,160 --> 01:33:11,160
Speaker 9: On one break.

1758
01:33:11,920 --> 01:33:12,920
Speaker 6: I can stay with you, sure.

1759
01:33:13,479 --> 01:33:15,080
Speaker 2: Thank you, General more in a moment here on the

1760
01:33:15,080 --> 01:33:18,040
Speaker 2: Stagall Show. We're grateful. All right, we're back with Lieutenant

1761
01:33:18,040 --> 01:33:20,519
Speaker 2: General Keith Kellogg, who was so kind to stick around

1762
01:33:20,520 --> 01:33:22,519
Speaker 2: because I know he's in big demand right now. So

1763
01:33:22,560 --> 01:33:24,519
Speaker 2: thank you for your time, General, And I'll dive right

1764
01:33:24,520 --> 01:33:27,160
Speaker 2: into the question because I value your honesty. We've known

1765
01:33:27,200 --> 01:33:29,000
Speaker 2: each other a long time. We've talked a long time

1766
01:33:29,000 --> 01:33:32,439
Speaker 2: on this show about Ukraine when that fired up, so

1767
01:33:32,479 --> 01:33:35,320
Speaker 2: it was natural that you became the envoy there. You

1768
01:33:35,400 --> 01:33:38,400
Speaker 2: assess combat, you've been a part of combat. You're honest

1769
01:33:38,439 --> 01:33:42,440
Speaker 2: when things haven't worked. So to the audience that's skeptical

1770
01:33:42,479 --> 01:33:45,800
Speaker 2: about President Trump's call to strike Iran, I'd like you

1771
01:33:45,840 --> 01:33:48,479
Speaker 2: to address that specifically. Do you believe you have any

1772
01:33:48,479 --> 01:33:52,320
Speaker 2: reason to doubt Donald Trump's decision to strike Iran when

1773
01:33:52,360 --> 01:33:54,320
Speaker 2: he did? For those that feel like it just came

1774
01:33:54,360 --> 01:33:56,639
Speaker 2: out of nowhere and a case hasn't been made.

1775
01:33:57,520 --> 01:33:59,360
Speaker 6: Yeah, thanks Chris, thanks for having me, and good to

1776
01:33:59,400 --> 01:34:01,519
Speaker 6: be with you again. Look, I have no doubt at

1777
01:34:01,520 --> 01:34:03,720
Speaker 6: all what he is doing. He's not doing this for

1778
01:34:03,840 --> 01:34:06,960
Speaker 6: tomorrow or a week from Tuesday or a year from now.

1779
01:34:07,360 --> 01:34:10,840
Speaker 6: He's doing this for future generations. She's talking about doing

1780
01:34:10,880 --> 01:34:14,640
Speaker 6: something that's going to affect, you know, our grandchildren or

1781
01:34:14,680 --> 01:34:17,559
Speaker 6: our children going forward. Because when you look at it

1782
01:34:18,160 --> 01:34:22,400
Speaker 6: with a theocratic reisum, which the Uranians are, they've chanted

1783
01:34:22,479 --> 01:34:24,760
Speaker 6: death to America, death to Israel, whatever they want to

1784
01:34:24,840 --> 01:34:26,960
Speaker 6: chan and they have the means to do that. You know,

1785
01:34:26,960 --> 01:34:30,799
Speaker 6: they've got missile systems, ballistic missile systems that could reach France.

1786
01:34:31,280 --> 01:34:33,840
Speaker 6: Kind of confusion how they go that far out. They

1787
01:34:33,920 --> 01:34:36,639
Speaker 6: were developing a nuclear system out there that we should

1788
01:34:36,640 --> 01:34:40,759
Speaker 6: be afraid of in the future. When you enrich uranium,

1789
01:34:40,800 --> 01:34:44,160
Speaker 6: if you have civilian uses for it, you and Wrenched

1790
01:34:44,560 --> 01:34:48,759
Speaker 6: enriched between three to five percent. They were enriching currently

1791
01:34:48,840 --> 01:34:51,400
Speaker 6: as well as we know it at least sixty percent

1792
01:34:51,800 --> 01:34:55,760
Speaker 6: and eighty percent is weapons grade. Now, you treated a

1793
01:34:55,840 --> 01:34:57,840
Speaker 6: nuclear power a lot different than you treat a non

1794
01:34:57,920 --> 01:35:00,920
Speaker 6: nuclear power, and they were heading to the direction. So

1795
01:35:01,240 --> 01:35:03,960
Speaker 6: the President Trump put the turns back in the equation

1796
01:35:04,200 --> 01:35:07,280
Speaker 6: in the Middle East, and he's done something for our

1797
01:35:07,400 --> 01:35:10,160
Speaker 6: children and our grandchildren. One in the future. This is

1798
01:35:10,160 --> 01:35:12,640
Speaker 6: going to go well beyond these three years. So if

1799
01:35:12,720 --> 01:35:14,960
Speaker 6: everybody kind of sits back and looks at it, you've

1800
01:35:14,960 --> 01:35:17,040
Speaker 6: got to have to ask yourself, do you want to

1801
01:35:17,080 --> 01:35:21,680
Speaker 6: have a theocratic regime, religious regime in charge to discriminated

1802
01:35:21,760 --> 01:35:24,800
Speaker 6: Let's use women, discriminate women where they had to use

1803
01:35:24,840 --> 01:35:27,800
Speaker 6: heat jobs on their head to go outside. As they didn't,

1804
01:35:27,800 --> 01:35:30,240
Speaker 6: they got beaten by it, or they executed people. They

1805
01:35:30,280 --> 01:35:33,200
Speaker 6: kept thirty thousand dollars people. This was a regime that

1806
01:35:33,400 --> 01:35:36,439
Speaker 6: was very, very extreme, and we just put it back

1807
01:35:36,479 --> 01:35:39,040
Speaker 6: in the box. And so people should realize what this

1808
01:35:39,240 --> 01:35:43,000
Speaker 6: is being done, not for themselves, but for five years,

1809
01:35:43,000 --> 01:35:46,040
Speaker 6: ten years, fifteen, twenty years down well in the future,

1810
01:35:46,320 --> 01:35:47,840
Speaker 6: you know. Or when you look at a ran the

1811
01:35:47,840 --> 01:35:52,240
Speaker 6: old Persia, it's been around for over twenty five hundred years,

1812
01:35:52,280 --> 01:35:54,439
Speaker 6: not just two hundred and fifty years, and it's an

1813
01:35:54,520 --> 01:35:57,960
Speaker 6: old ancient empire. And you get them and you get

1814
01:35:58,000 --> 01:36:01,799
Speaker 6: them into the box. You can regenerate the Abrahams of courage.

1815
01:36:02,200 --> 01:36:03,680
Speaker 6: You can get that part of the world which has

1816
01:36:03,720 --> 01:36:07,080
Speaker 6: been destabilizing since at least the mid seventies, since they

1817
01:36:07,080 --> 01:36:11,360
Speaker 6: took our embassy. The current regime, and you tell American

1818
01:36:11,400 --> 01:36:12,280
Speaker 6: people there's another thing.

1819
01:36:12,280 --> 01:36:13,040
Speaker 2: You don't have to worry.

1820
01:36:12,880 --> 01:36:15,840
Speaker 6: About it anymore. So to our support President trouble with

1821
01:36:16,200 --> 01:36:19,559
Speaker 6: what he's done, absolutely, because I really don't want my

1822
01:36:20,040 --> 01:36:22,800
Speaker 6: grandkids or my kids to get involved in a war

1823
01:36:22,920 --> 01:36:25,240
Speaker 6: in the Middle East. Again, when I've been involved in

1824
01:36:25,800 --> 01:36:29,160
Speaker 6: an area I've been focused in since nineteen seventies. I mean,

1825
01:36:30,000 --> 01:36:33,439
Speaker 6: when I commanded your armies eighty second, we had war plans,

1826
01:36:33,720 --> 01:36:36,720
Speaker 6: among other things, which was the invasion of Iran to

1827
01:36:36,800 --> 01:36:39,559
Speaker 6: go do that, and we were thinking about war with Iran.

1828
01:36:39,880 --> 01:36:42,360
Speaker 6: That's going to be taken off the table. Secondly, I

1829
01:36:42,400 --> 01:36:45,479
Speaker 6: think this is very important. When you look at China,

1830
01:36:45,560 --> 01:36:48,680
Speaker 6: what's the President's done is breaking it all apart. You know,

1831
01:36:49,800 --> 01:36:52,400
Speaker 6: most of their a lot of their oil, at least

1832
01:36:52,439 --> 01:36:56,040
Speaker 6: eighty percent of the oil for Iran was going to China.

1833
01:36:56,280 --> 01:37:00,240
Speaker 6: That was ten percent of their economy. When you have

1834
01:37:00,320 --> 01:37:03,720
Speaker 6: the ten percent and the Venezuela's five percent, that is

1835
01:37:03,720 --> 01:37:06,200
Speaker 6: going to affect your economy. It's kind of stretched him apart.

1836
01:37:06,520 --> 01:37:08,680
Speaker 6: That's our big threat in the Pacific. Japan is going

1837
01:37:08,720 --> 01:37:10,760
Speaker 6: to be a key ally out there. But what you

1838
01:37:10,840 --> 01:37:14,560
Speaker 6: have done now is actually strategically started to divide to

1839
01:37:14,600 --> 01:37:16,880
Speaker 6: your enemies. They used to have the old term divide

1840
01:37:16,880 --> 01:37:20,120
Speaker 6: and conquer. That's perfect. We're dividing up, We're splitting upon

1841
01:37:20,160 --> 01:37:21,760
Speaker 6: general and rushing in the middle Aged.

1842
01:37:22,320 --> 01:37:24,120
Speaker 2: I've got thirty seconds and I'll just ask you this.

1843
01:37:24,280 --> 01:37:27,760
Speaker 2: You're confident this does not turn into Iraq Afghanistan a

1844
01:37:27,920 --> 01:37:30,160
Speaker 2: year's long war. This is weeks and that's it. Are

1845
01:37:30,160 --> 01:37:30,920
Speaker 2: you confident of that?

1846
01:37:31,760 --> 01:37:37,200
Speaker 6: Absolutely, We've learned our lessons. We're not doing that at all.

1847
01:37:37,400 --> 01:37:41,360
Speaker 2: General. I cannot thank you enough sincerely for your insights
