It is Casey and Jim on 39 00:02:34,720 --> 00:02:36,240 Speaker 3: ninety three WIBC. 40 00:02:36,840 --> 00:02:39,280 Speaker 1: Back to what's going on? And I ran many people 41 00:02:39,280 --> 00:02:39,960 Speaker 1: calling it a war. 42 00:02:40,400 --> 00:02:44,520 Speaker 3: You've got the Secretary of War, he did a press 43 00:02:44,560 --> 00:02:45,600 Speaker 3: conference this morning. 44 00:02:45,760 --> 00:02:47,320 Speaker 1: Is it a war, is it a liberation? 45 00:02:47,680 --> 00:02:52,320 Speaker 3: Whatever it is, it's ending forty seven years of missiles, 46 00:02:52,440 --> 00:02:57,080 Speaker 3: nuclear ambitions, and terrorism, and hopefully it's coming to an 47 00:02:57,160 --> 00:02:59,840 Speaker 3: end now because Donald Trump had the guts to do it. 48 00:03:00,120 --> 00:03:04,839 Speaker 3: I can recall growing up and seeing the news every 49 00:03:04,919 --> 00:03:07,240 Speaker 3: night when they had a counter on the news of 50 00:03:07,360 --> 00:03:10,519 Speaker 3: all of the days that the hostages were being held. 51 00:03:11,280 --> 00:03:14,600 Speaker 3: Of course, starting from nineteen seventy nine, you had those 52 00:03:14,639 --> 00:03:18,800 Speaker 3: Iranian students seizing the US embassy and holding those fifty 53 00:03:18,840 --> 00:03:22,880 Speaker 3: two American diplomats for four hundred and forty four days, 54 00:03:23,080 --> 00:03:28,919 Speaker 3: and the yellow ribbons that were around the trees. I'm 55 00:03:28,960 --> 00:03:32,960 Speaker 3: a grown woman, and this has been my entire life 56 00:03:33,240 --> 00:03:34,120 Speaker 3: with that country. 57 00:03:34,680 --> 00:03:37,920 Speaker 4: Yeah, you know, I was pretty young in nineteen seventy 58 00:03:37,920 --> 00:03:41,160 Speaker 4: five when the hostages were taken, seventy nine, seventy nine 59 00:03:41,160 --> 00:03:43,880 Speaker 4: when the hostages were taken, But yeah, I also remember 60 00:03:45,880 --> 00:03:49,880 Speaker 4: all of that that happened, and seeing Nightline and seeing 61 00:03:49,920 --> 00:03:52,160 Speaker 4: the count this is day one hundred and seven, this 62 00:03:52,200 --> 00:03:54,920 Speaker 4: is day ninety five, and going on. And look there 63 00:03:54,960 --> 00:04:00,240 Speaker 4: was beyond that, you know, there were regularly hostages, and 64 00:04:00,320 --> 00:04:04,200 Speaker 4: I remember, you know, we had the bombing of our 65 00:04:05,040 --> 00:04:08,200 Speaker 4: marine base in Beirut and over a couple of hundred 66 00:04:09,080 --> 00:04:10,840 Speaker 4: of our men and women in the armed forces were 67 00:04:10,920 --> 00:04:13,000 Speaker 4: killed in that. There was a hostage taking in Bay 68 00:04:13,080 --> 00:04:15,160 Speaker 4: Route that happened in nineteen eighty five, and I remember 69 00:04:15,160 --> 00:04:19,000 Speaker 4: that specifically because I grew up in Chicago, Chicago area 70 00:04:19,080 --> 00:04:21,760 Speaker 4: and was raised Catholic, and at that point in time, 71 00:04:21,839 --> 00:04:25,680 Speaker 4: during that hostage taking, there was a local Chicago area 72 00:04:25,839 --> 00:04:28,719 Speaker 4: Catholic priest that was taken as one of the hostages, 73 00:04:28,760 --> 00:04:30,880 Speaker 4: and so that got a lot of coverage in Chicago. 74 00:04:30,880 --> 00:04:33,159 Speaker 4: In fact, I remember his name. Isn't that weird how 75 00:04:33,440 --> 00:04:35,520 Speaker 4: certain things stick in your memory all these years later. 76 00:04:35,680 --> 00:04:38,200 Speaker 4: Father Lawrence martin Jenko was one of the hostages that 77 00:04:38,320 --> 00:04:42,960 Speaker 4: was taken and certainly was a big story in the 78 00:04:43,040 --> 00:04:45,520 Speaker 4: Chicago area where I was growing up. And oddly enough, 79 00:04:45,680 --> 00:04:49,640 Speaker 4: this is fascinating. I remember actually there's a clip of 80 00:04:50,200 --> 00:04:54,320 Speaker 4: father Lawrence martin Jenko when he was released, walking down 81 00:04:54,320 --> 00:04:56,240 Speaker 4: the stairs on the plane and kissing the ground, and 82 00:04:56,279 --> 00:04:59,360 Speaker 4: it was featured in the Michael Jackson video Man in 83 00:04:59,400 --> 00:05:01,919 Speaker 4: the Mirror. So just funny how those things. And you're right, 84 00:05:02,080 --> 00:05:05,240 Speaker 4: this has been our entire life, We've been dealing with this. 85 00:05:06,320 --> 00:05:10,359 Speaker 3: So the fact that Iran's regime has spent decades backing terrorism, 86 00:05:10,520 --> 00:05:14,600 Speaker 3: threatening Israel, threatening the West, crushing its own people, driving 87 00:05:14,640 --> 00:05:17,520 Speaker 3: its economy into the ground, and now they're finally seeing 88 00:05:17,560 --> 00:05:23,440 Speaker 3: the consequences this after decades of sanctions, decades of failed diplomacy, 89 00:05:23,480 --> 00:05:30,000 Speaker 3: and now the US hitting Iranian leadership and military targets. 90 00:05:28,920 --> 00:05:32,679 Speaker 1: So long overdue, and. 91 00:05:34,320 --> 00:05:38,600 Speaker 3: It's extremist behavior, and you can't negotiate with the government 92 00:05:39,120 --> 00:05:42,880 Speaker 3: that openly calls for your destruction. And it was proven 93 00:05:43,279 --> 00:05:50,120 Speaker 3: decade after decade after decade after decade that you can't 94 00:05:50,480 --> 00:05:56,240 Speaker 3: negotiate with them. And finally Donald Trump did something about it. 95 00:05:57,120 --> 00:06:01,000 Speaker 3: Tried doing diplomacy, but knew they were just lying, just 96 00:06:01,080 --> 00:06:06,400 Speaker 3: kicking it down the road, lies after lies, and finally 97 00:06:06,440 --> 00:06:09,520 Speaker 3: somebody had had enough. We're not sending you more money. 98 00:06:10,680 --> 00:06:13,880 Speaker 3: We're we're gonna, We're gonna, We're gonna stop this. Donald 99 00:06:13,880 --> 00:06:17,120 Speaker 3: Trump had a press conference yesterday and. 100 00:06:18,160 --> 00:06:21,040 Speaker 1: He was talking about how long this will last. 101 00:06:21,320 --> 00:06:25,160 Speaker 2: Combat operations continue at this time in full force, and 102 00:06:25,600 --> 00:06:29,280 Speaker 2: they will continue until all of our objectives are achieved. 103 00:06:29,360 --> 00:06:33,920 Speaker 2: We have very strong objectives. They could have done something 104 00:06:33,960 --> 00:06:36,000 Speaker 2: two weeks ago, but they just couldn't get there. 105 00:06:39,160 --> 00:06:42,839 Speaker 3: The biggest danger with Iran isn't just missiles, it's money. 106 00:06:43,360 --> 00:06:47,479 Speaker 3: Of course, they're disrupting the entire area, meaning the oil 107 00:06:47,520 --> 00:06:50,080 Speaker 3: prices are going to go up. That does mean higher 108 00:06:50,120 --> 00:06:53,320 Speaker 3: gas prices, higher shipping costs, more inflation right here at 109 00:06:53,360 --> 00:06:56,760 Speaker 3: home in the United States, and this coming after years 110 00:06:56,760 --> 00:07:00,520 Speaker 3: of inflation fatigue. It's one of the last things that 111 00:07:00,839 --> 00:07:02,320 Speaker 3: working families need. 112 00:07:02,800 --> 00:07:04,960 Speaker 1: Is for costs to escalate. 113 00:07:05,520 --> 00:07:07,760 Speaker 3: Uh, It's it's a hard truth that we have to 114 00:07:07,800 --> 00:07:12,200 Speaker 3: face if the long term goal is stability in the 115 00:07:12,240 --> 00:07:16,360 Speaker 3: Middle East, this is one of the consequences that we 116 00:07:16,520 --> 00:07:20,680 Speaker 3: have to deal with with a regime regime change. 117 00:07:21,720 --> 00:07:23,080 Speaker 1: Look, this is. 118 00:07:25,440 --> 00:07:27,840 Speaker 4: It's going to take some time for everything to sort 119 00:07:27,880 --> 00:07:31,840 Speaker 4: out and figure out, you know, whether or not this 120 00:07:32,040 --> 00:07:34,520 Speaker 4: was worth it, and whether or not what victory looks like. 121 00:07:34,560 --> 00:07:36,160 Speaker 4: And I think that's a that's a that's right now. 122 00:07:36,160 --> 00:07:38,520 Speaker 4: It's a big part of a big problem with Donald 123 00:07:38,560 --> 00:07:43,200 Speaker 4: Trump's messaging is what does a win look like. As 124 00:07:43,240 --> 00:07:47,320 Speaker 4: part of this, obviously the vast majority of the leadership 125 00:07:47,320 --> 00:07:50,360 Speaker 4: in Iran has been taken out. There's been chaos throughout 126 00:07:50,360 --> 00:07:56,320 Speaker 4: the region. Like you've mentioned, Iran is attacking neighboring states Bahrain, Oman, Jordan, 127 00:07:56,840 --> 00:08:02,840 Speaker 4: Saudi Arabia. This is likely going to get worse before 128 00:08:02,960 --> 00:08:05,360 Speaker 4: it gets better, and I think everybody needs to kind 129 00:08:05,360 --> 00:08:07,800 Speaker 4: of be aware of that this is likely going to 130 00:08:07,800 --> 00:08:09,160 Speaker 4: get worse before it gets better. 131 00:08:10,080 --> 00:08:11,360 Speaker 1: So you've got Donald Trump. 132 00:08:11,440 --> 00:08:14,240 Speaker 3: He was talking about the US casualties now that has 133 00:08:14,280 --> 00:08:17,280 Speaker 3: been increased by one according to the Secretary of War 134 00:08:17,320 --> 00:08:18,080 Speaker 3: Pete Hegseeth. 135 00:08:18,520 --> 00:08:23,120 Speaker 2: Earlier today, Sentcam shared the news that three US military 136 00:08:23,160 --> 00:08:27,760 Speaker 2: service members have been killed in action. As one nation, 137 00:08:27,960 --> 00:08:31,760 Speaker 2: we grieve for the true American patriots who have made 138 00:08:31,840 --> 00:08:37,200 Speaker 2: the ultimate sacrifice for our nation, even as we continue 139 00:08:37,240 --> 00:08:41,840 Speaker 2: the righteous mission for which they gave their lives. We 140 00:08:41,920 --> 00:08:45,200 Speaker 2: pray for the full recovery of the wounded, and send 141 00:08:45,440 --> 00:08:49,760 Speaker 2: our immense love and eternal gratitude to the families of 142 00:08:49,800 --> 00:08:55,160 Speaker 2: the fallen. And sadly, there will likely be more before 143 00:08:55,200 --> 00:08:58,640 Speaker 2: it ends. That's the way. It is likely be more, 144 00:08:58,679 --> 00:09:02,240 Speaker 2: but we'll do everything possible. Said, well, well that won't 145 00:09:02,240 --> 00:09:02,920 Speaker 2: be the case. 146 00:09:03,960 --> 00:09:04,280 Speaker 1: Yeah. 147 00:09:04,320 --> 00:09:06,680 Speaker 3: May God rest the souls of the Americans who gave 148 00:09:06,720 --> 00:09:10,720 Speaker 3: their lives in this cause. As you know, somebody who 149 00:09:10,760 --> 00:09:15,480 Speaker 3: has a brother in the military, you know, I could 150 00:09:15,480 --> 00:09:18,000 Speaker 3: tell you now because he's leaving that position. 151 00:09:18,760 --> 00:09:21,200 Speaker 1: He was the commander of the mission that rounded up 152 00:09:21,200 --> 00:09:23,560 Speaker 1: the Taliban, yeah, after nine to eleven. 153 00:09:23,840 --> 00:09:28,080 Speaker 3: Yeah, and took him to Gitmo and didn't like to 154 00:09:28,080 --> 00:09:29,599 Speaker 3: talk about it. 155 00:09:29,600 --> 00:09:31,320 Speaker 1: It takes its toll on 156 00:09:32,840 --> 00:09:36,720 Speaker 3: Not only soldiers but their families, and it's something that 157 00:09:37,559 --> 00:09:40,200 Speaker 3: we all need to be grateful that there are those 158 00:09:40,240 --> 00:09:42,280 Speaker 3: that choose to take that mantle.
