1 00:00:03,360 --> 00:00:08,799 Speaker 1: The lies linking me with the disgraceful Jeffrey Epstein need 2 00:00:08,880 --> 00:00:15,640 Speaker 1: to end today. The individuals lying about me a devoid 3 00:00:15,800 --> 00:00:23,400 Speaker 1: of ethical standards, humility and respect. I do not object 4 00:00:23,480 --> 00:00:28,639 Speaker 1: to dear ignorance, but rather I reject their mean spirited 5 00:00:28,760 --> 00:00:31,920 Speaker 1: attempts to defame my reputation. 6 00:00:32,760 --> 00:00:33,800 Speaker 2: Mamasul Me. 7 00:00:35,120 --> 00:00:38,440 Speaker 3: First Lady Melaia Trump denouncing what she said are lies 8 00:00:38,560 --> 00:00:43,599 Speaker 3: and false mears about her and Jeffrey Epstein, hosting an 9 00:00:43,680 --> 00:00:48,120 Speaker 3: extraordinary precedent where she said the two had no relationship 10 00:00:48,280 --> 00:00:51,760 Speaker 3: and she did not know about his crimes. Not only 11 00:00:51,840 --> 00:00:55,480 Speaker 3: did she suddenly decide to give this televised address about 12 00:00:55,520 --> 00:00:59,800 Speaker 3: Jeffrey Epstein, she also called on Congress. 13 00:00:59,280 --> 00:01:03,200 Speaker 2: To ask to act. So we have to ask why 14 00:01:03,760 --> 00:01:04,720 Speaker 2: we'll discuss that. 15 00:01:04,760 --> 00:01:07,600 Speaker 3: You're listening to Casey and Jim. Good morning, Happy Friday. 16 00:01:07,959 --> 00:01:11,760 Speaker 3: Also on the way this morning. He is ready to rumble. 17 00:01:12,319 --> 00:01:15,679 Speaker 4: I think he's trying to organize a cage match me 18 00:01:16,000 --> 00:01:18,920 Speaker 4: versus Eric and Don Jor. I told him I'd do 19 00:01:18,959 --> 00:01:21,679 Speaker 4: it one hundred percent in if you can pull it off. 20 00:01:22,319 --> 00:01:22,640 Speaker 2: Uh huh. 21 00:01:23,000 --> 00:01:26,920 Speaker 3: That's Hunter Biden challenging Eric Trump and Don Junior to 22 00:01:27,080 --> 00:01:30,720 Speaker 3: a cage match. Will there be a mandatory drug test 23 00:01:30,840 --> 00:01:31,600 Speaker 3: before the fight. 24 00:01:32,120 --> 00:01:35,600 Speaker 5: Whatever the pay per view would cost to watch that, 25 00:01:35,959 --> 00:01:38,880 Speaker 5: I'm paying it would love to see a cage match 26 00:01:38,920 --> 00:01:39,800 Speaker 5: between those two. 27 00:01:40,200 --> 00:01:43,080 Speaker 3: Also on the way this morning, your government is saving 28 00:01:43,120 --> 00:01:43,640 Speaker 3: you time. 29 00:01:44,000 --> 00:01:45,319 Speaker 5: My name's Howard J. Turkstra. 30 00:01:46,680 --> 00:01:50,840 Speaker 6: I'm from Kansas City. My hobbies are fast cars and 31 00:01:50,880 --> 00:01:56,080 Speaker 6: fast women. Because that's why my guys in my carts 32 00:01:56,120 --> 00:01:57,000 Speaker 6: love calling the cruiser. 33 00:01:58,160 --> 00:01:59,000 Speaker 7: You should call him. 34 00:02:00,680 --> 00:02:04,200 Speaker 6: Knock it off, go ahead. I joined the Army because 35 00:02:04,440 --> 00:02:07,240 Speaker 6: my father and my brother were in the Army. I 36 00:02:07,240 --> 00:02:09,000 Speaker 6: thought I'd better join before I got drafted. 37 00:02:10,280 --> 00:02:10,520 Speaker 8: Son. 38 00:02:10,960 --> 00:02:12,400 Speaker 9: There ain't no draft, no more. 39 00:02:13,720 --> 00:02:16,040 Speaker 6: There was one was one. 40 00:02:16,160 --> 00:02:20,720 Speaker 3: So the Selective Service System plans to automatically register eligible 41 00:02:20,760 --> 00:02:24,240 Speaker 3: American men between the ages of eighteen and twenty six 42 00:02:24,320 --> 00:02:25,440 Speaker 3: for the US military. 43 00:02:25,520 --> 00:02:28,160 Speaker 2: This to happen by the end of this year. 44 00:02:28,560 --> 00:02:31,959 Speaker 3: Also on the Way, what did the astronauts jam to 45 00:02:32,120 --> 00:02:32,720 Speaker 3: in space? 46 00:02:38,960 --> 00:02:51,919 Speaker 2: No decent? That's actually the feed from the Artemis too. 47 00:02:52,440 --> 00:02:55,679 Speaker 3: So as the crew heads back to Earth following their 48 00:02:55,840 --> 00:03:00,760 Speaker 3: trip around the Moon, NASA drop the astronauts highly anticipate playlists, 49 00:03:00,760 --> 00:03:01,720 Speaker 3: something they do for. 50 00:03:01,720 --> 00:03:02,600 Speaker 2: All of the missions. 51 00:03:02,639 --> 00:03:05,440 Speaker 5: I love the last two clips. We played very heavy 52 00:03:05,480 --> 00:03:07,880 Speaker 5: on the eighties, we had Queen and David Bowie and 53 00:03:07,960 --> 00:03:11,880 Speaker 5: under pressure and then words of wisdom from Sergeant Hulka 54 00:03:11,960 --> 00:03:14,200 Speaker 5: from the movie Stripes an outstanding way to start. 55 00:03:14,080 --> 00:03:16,919 Speaker 2: A front Hulka and his big toe. Let's get back 56 00:03:16,960 --> 00:03:18,880 Speaker 2: to First Lady Milania Trump. 57 00:03:19,840 --> 00:03:24,360 Speaker 3: She walked into a very politically toxic room in Washington. 58 00:03:24,960 --> 00:03:27,919 Speaker 2: She didn't have to, she chose to do that. 59 00:03:28,480 --> 00:03:30,560 Speaker 3: So you've got the First Lady of the United States 60 00:03:30,600 --> 00:03:33,840 Speaker 3: standing at a podium and saying Epstein was not alone. 61 00:03:34,280 --> 00:03:36,800 Speaker 3: That's either one of the most courageous things that's ever 62 00:03:36,840 --> 00:03:40,960 Speaker 3: happened by our First Lady or a very calculated moment 63 00:03:41,200 --> 00:03:45,440 Speaker 3: in her public life. Either way, she had something to say. 64 00:03:45,480 --> 00:03:47,520 Speaker 3: And I think we need to recap the sequence here. 65 00:03:47,920 --> 00:03:52,040 Speaker 3: So you've got Michael Wolf who claims things were going 66 00:03:52,080 --> 00:03:54,840 Speaker 3: on and then he can't prove it. You got the 67 00:03:54,920 --> 00:03:58,800 Speaker 3: Daily Beast running a headline calling Milania very involved in 68 00:03:58,840 --> 00:04:03,240 Speaker 3: the Epstein scandal. Her lawyers send a letter, they retract, 69 00:04:03,360 --> 00:04:08,400 Speaker 3: they apologize, Then James Carvell repeats the same thing. Lawyer 70 00:04:08,440 --> 00:04:12,400 Speaker 3: send another letter, Carvil retracts and apologize, and then HarperCollins 71 00:04:12,440 --> 00:04:16,080 Speaker 3: publishes similar stuff in a book which is mostly about 72 00:04:16,200 --> 00:04:20,960 Speaker 3: Prince Andrew lawyers send another letter, They attract, they apologize. 73 00:04:21,000 --> 00:04:23,800 Speaker 3: So you've got a lot of outlets, a lot of apologies, 74 00:04:24,120 --> 00:04:29,080 Speaker 3: and all zero evidence. And yet somehow Malania Trump felt 75 00:04:29,120 --> 00:04:34,440 Speaker 3: the need to stand up and deny any relationship with 76 00:04:34,560 --> 00:04:37,240 Speaker 3: Jeffrey Epstein. She said they were never friends, She's not 77 00:04:37,320 --> 00:04:42,000 Speaker 3: a victim, and he did not introduce her to her husband. 78 00:04:42,600 --> 00:04:45,760 Speaker 3: She claimed that any contact with Giselene Maxwell was just 79 00:04:45,880 --> 00:04:49,520 Speaker 3: casual and insignificant, called it all lies and false smears. 80 00:04:49,760 --> 00:04:54,240 Speaker 3: To me, there's potentially either something else coming out, and 81 00:04:54,279 --> 00:04:57,160 Speaker 3: she's just trying to get ahead of it. She's had 82 00:04:57,279 --> 00:05:00,599 Speaker 3: enough and she felt the need to speak out. She 83 00:05:00,839 --> 00:05:03,840 Speaker 3: just got to the point where she was angry and said, 84 00:05:03,880 --> 00:05:07,320 Speaker 3: you know what, I'm gonna tell people exactly how I feel. 85 00:05:07,360 --> 00:05:08,240 Speaker 2: And that's what she did. 86 00:05:08,360 --> 00:05:10,640 Speaker 5: Yeah, what happened yesterday? All of a sudden, you and 87 00:05:10,640 --> 00:05:12,720 Speaker 5: I were at home and you were sitting there watching TV. 88 00:05:12,800 --> 00:05:15,560 Speaker 5: And I walk in the room and almost Milania Trump 89 00:05:15,640 --> 00:05:18,480 Speaker 5: is doing a press conference. It's on every single channel 90 00:05:18,720 --> 00:05:21,440 Speaker 5: and everybody's broadcasting it live. This really kind of came 91 00:05:21,440 --> 00:05:23,760 Speaker 5: out of nowhere yesterday. But I'm gonna go with your 92 00:05:23,760 --> 00:05:26,800 Speaker 5: first theory, Casey because this is what usually happens in 93 00:05:26,839 --> 00:05:29,880 Speaker 5: situations like this, somebody in a position of power. In 94 00:05:29,920 --> 00:05:33,680 Speaker 5: this instance, the First Lady, Malania Trump, gets word that 95 00:05:33,800 --> 00:05:37,040 Speaker 5: some journalists or there's some story coming out that's gonna 96 00:05:37,040 --> 00:05:39,840 Speaker 5: be all nasty about her, and rather than just wait 97 00:05:39,920 --> 00:05:44,200 Speaker 5: for that to come out, they decide, the First Lady decides, Okay, 98 00:05:44,240 --> 00:05:47,000 Speaker 5: I'm gonna have a press conference so I can control 99 00:05:47,080 --> 00:05:49,359 Speaker 5: the narrative and get the information out there before this 100 00:05:49,480 --> 00:05:52,400 Speaker 5: hit piece comes out there. That my guess is, that's 101 00:05:52,440 --> 00:05:56,040 Speaker 5: what likely happened in this situation. Yesterday with Milania Trump, she. 102 00:05:56,600 --> 00:06:01,200 Speaker 3: Not only denied any relationship with Epstein, but she came 103 00:06:01,200 --> 00:06:04,080 Speaker 3: out gun to blazon because she called on Congress to 104 00:06:04,160 --> 00:06:07,080 Speaker 3: hold public hearings for Epstein's survivors. 105 00:06:07,520 --> 00:06:11,839 Speaker 1: Now is the time for Congress to act. Epstein was 106 00:06:11,920 --> 00:06:17,599 Speaker 1: not alone. Several prominent male executives resigned from their powerful 107 00:06:17,680 --> 00:06:25,159 Speaker 1: positions after this matter became widely politicized. Of course, this 108 00:06:25,360 --> 00:06:29,440 Speaker 1: doesn't amount to guild, but we still must work openly 109 00:06:29,960 --> 00:06:34,599 Speaker 1: and transparently to uncover the truth. I call on Congress 110 00:06:34,680 --> 00:06:38,640 Speaker 1: to provide the women who have been victimized by Epstein 111 00:06:39,200 --> 00:06:45,440 Speaker 1: with the public hearing. Specifically, centered around the survivors. 112 00:06:45,080 --> 00:06:49,320 Speaker 3: So permanent congressional record, that's the ask, not just testimony 113 00:06:49,360 --> 00:06:52,320 Speaker 3: that can be buried, testimony that becomes part of the 114 00:06:52,360 --> 00:06:54,160 Speaker 3: permanent historical. 115 00:06:53,680 --> 00:06:55,600 Speaker 2: Record of what happened. 116 00:06:55,800 --> 00:07:00,480 Speaker 3: That's actually a really sophisticated legal and legislative ask from 117 00:07:00,560 --> 00:07:04,760 Speaker 3: someone who has clearly thought this through. That's what she wants, 118 00:07:04,960 --> 00:07:09,880 Speaker 3: and she's putting her denials on the record, specifically in public, 119 00:07:10,320 --> 00:07:13,640 Speaker 3: under her own name, and that's what you have to 120 00:07:13,680 --> 00:07:17,480 Speaker 3: pay attention to as well. She didn't mention Donald Trump 121 00:07:18,120 --> 00:07:21,240 Speaker 3: and how he thought of things. I mean, it was 122 00:07:21,320 --> 00:07:23,280 Speaker 3: even reported he didn't know she was going to do that. 123 00:07:23,600 --> 00:07:25,240 Speaker 5: Yeah, I don't know if I believe any of that, 124 00:07:25,360 --> 00:07:27,760 Speaker 5: because this really kind of the way this all happened 125 00:07:27,840 --> 00:07:30,080 Speaker 5: kind of smacks of the way Donald Trump does business. 126 00:07:30,120 --> 00:07:33,200 Speaker 5: Keep in mind, Donald Trump likes to keep people off guard. 127 00:07:33,320 --> 00:07:35,720 Speaker 5: He likes to make sure that you don't know what 128 00:07:35,920 --> 00:07:38,600 Speaker 5: he's thinking, and so that's why you see these, you 129 00:07:38,640 --> 00:07:41,800 Speaker 5: know what, on the surface looked like unhinged tweets or 130 00:07:41,840 --> 00:07:45,160 Speaker 5: things that come out of nowhere. So a surprise press 131 00:07:45,240 --> 00:07:49,000 Speaker 5: conference by the First Lady kind of fits with the 132 00:07:49,000 --> 00:07:52,160 Speaker 5: way Donald Trump operates. So I'm not buying the fact 133 00:07:52,160 --> 00:07:54,240 Speaker 5: that Donald Trump didn't know any of this. But yeah, 134 00:07:54,240 --> 00:07:57,240 Speaker 5: she didn't mention him at all in the h during 135 00:07:57,240 --> 00:07:59,480 Speaker 5: the press conference. I mean, I think she only referred 136 00:07:59,480 --> 00:08:02,800 Speaker 5: to how you know or denied any claims that Epstein 137 00:08:03,160 --> 00:08:06,120 Speaker 5: introduced the two of them, Milania and Donald. But that 138 00:08:06,200 --> 00:08:06,880 Speaker 5: was the only way. 139 00:08:06,880 --> 00:08:10,160 Speaker 2: She was speaking for herself. This was coming from her. 140 00:08:10,600 --> 00:08:14,800 Speaker 3: These were her thoughts, and she said that she wanted 141 00:08:14,840 --> 00:08:18,760 Speaker 3: every victim to also have their moment, and she said 142 00:08:18,800 --> 00:08:21,920 Speaker 3: that they should be able to tell their story in public, 143 00:08:22,120 --> 00:08:27,440 Speaker 3: and that everything should be permanently entered into a congressional record, 144 00:08:27,520 --> 00:08:29,840 Speaker 3: and that is when we will have the truth. 145 00:08:30,360 --> 00:08:33,920 Speaker 1: Each and every woman should have her day to tell 146 00:08:33,960 --> 00:08:38,520 Speaker 1: her story in public if she wishes, and then her 147 00:08:38,559 --> 00:08:46,360 Speaker 1: testimony should be permanently entered into the congressional record. Then 148 00:08:47,360 --> 00:08:51,400 Speaker 1: and only then we will have the truth. Thank you. 149 00:08:52,559 --> 00:08:54,839 Speaker 3: So Donald Trump said he didn't know anything about this. 150 00:08:55,640 --> 00:08:57,600 Speaker 3: He made the comment while he was in a meeting 151 00:08:57,640 --> 00:08:59,520 Speaker 3: about the Iran War. Don't you love the people that 152 00:08:59,600 --> 00:09:01,840 Speaker 3: are saying, oh, well, this is a distraction from the 153 00:09:01,840 --> 00:09:04,559 Speaker 3: Iran War. Those are the same people that were saying 154 00:09:04,559 --> 00:09:07,880 Speaker 3: that the Iran War was a distraction from the Epstein files. 155 00:09:08,000 --> 00:09:11,000 Speaker 3: So we've got a distraction from the distraction from the distraction. 156 00:09:11,280 --> 00:09:14,560 Speaker 5: Yeah, or maybe this is just how government works these days. 157 00:09:14,600 --> 00:09:16,800 Speaker 5: Maybe none of this is a distraction. There's just a 158 00:09:16,800 --> 00:09:19,160 Speaker 5: lot going on right now. I do find it interesting 159 00:09:19,200 --> 00:09:22,880 Speaker 5: that she, you know, talked about maybe Congress interviewing some 160 00:09:22,920 --> 00:09:26,680 Speaker 5: of these Epstein survivors. It really there's a one time 161 00:09:26,840 --> 00:09:30,719 Speaker 5: last year in September of twenty twenty five, six survivors 162 00:09:30,760 --> 00:09:35,240 Speaker 5: met with a House Oversight Committee behind closed doors. That's 163 00:09:35,320 --> 00:09:42,960 Speaker 5: really the only sort of official congressional interaction officially. You 164 00:09:42,960 --> 00:09:45,520 Speaker 5: know that anybody from Congress or any committee has had 165 00:09:45,720 --> 00:09:48,960 Speaker 5: directly with these Epstein survivors, and I you know, I 166 00:09:49,000 --> 00:09:51,640 Speaker 5: think a lot of them have been really reticent and 167 00:09:51,720 --> 00:09:55,360 Speaker 5: reluctant to talk about this. Good reasons behind that, no 168 00:09:55,520 --> 00:09:57,800 Speaker 5: judgment there. Hey, look, if you're a survivor of what 169 00:09:57,880 --> 00:10:01,760 Speaker 5: happened with Jeffrey Epstein, you get to handle this however 170 00:10:01,880 --> 00:10:03,600 Speaker 5: you want to handle it. If you want to speak 171 00:10:03,600 --> 00:10:05,720 Speaker 5: in public, great. If you want to keep your mouth 172 00:10:05,720 --> 00:10:08,000 Speaker 5: shut and close your eyes and pretend this all goes away, 173 00:10:08,240 --> 00:10:10,360 Speaker 5: I'm fine with that too. You get to handle this 174 00:10:10,400 --> 00:10:12,760 Speaker 5: however you want to handle it. Based on everything that 175 00:10:12,800 --> 00:10:13,680 Speaker 5: you've been through. 176 00:10:13,640 --> 00:10:16,400 Speaker 3: Well, and they don't speak as a group. They all 177 00:10:16,440 --> 00:10:20,040 Speaker 3: have their different deals. Some have signed non disclosure agreements, 178 00:10:20,040 --> 00:10:23,880 Speaker 3: some haven't. Some can't speak, some can't, some have settled, 179 00:10:23,920 --> 00:10:24,560 Speaker 3: some haven't. 180 00:10:24,679 --> 00:10:26,880 Speaker 5: You know, I think that's a great point casey, because 181 00:10:26,920 --> 00:10:28,559 Speaker 5: I think that a lot of people and you hear 182 00:10:28,600 --> 00:10:31,679 Speaker 5: this rhetoric in the media that talk about Epstein survivors 183 00:10:32,000 --> 00:10:35,400 Speaker 5: like they're this monolithic group that all think and agree 184 00:10:35,440 --> 00:10:37,720 Speaker 5: and do the same thing. And in fact, some of 185 00:10:37,760 --> 00:10:42,280 Speaker 5: them released a press release yesterday a statement after Milania's speech, 186 00:10:42,600 --> 00:10:46,840 Speaker 5: and unfortunately the press ran with it that gave you 187 00:10:46,880 --> 00:10:50,160 Speaker 5: the impression that this is all Epstein survivors that released 188 00:10:50,200 --> 00:10:52,679 Speaker 5: this statement, and it wasn't all Epstein survivors. It was 189 00:10:52,720 --> 00:10:54,959 Speaker 5: a small segment of them. So I think that's really 190 00:10:55,040 --> 00:10:57,920 Speaker 5: important here. This is not a huge group that moves 191 00:10:57,920 --> 00:11:00,760 Speaker 5: in one direction. The same way, she said that. 192 00:11:00,720 --> 00:11:04,880 Speaker 3: She had never had relations with Epstein or his accomplice. 193 00:11:05,040 --> 00:11:06,400 Speaker 2: They were never really friends. 194 00:11:07,120 --> 00:11:10,360 Speaker 3: She went on to say that her and Donald were 195 00:11:10,440 --> 00:11:13,360 Speaker 3: invited to some parties the same as Epstein. 196 00:11:12,920 --> 00:11:16,360 Speaker 2: From time to time, but that was just coincidence. 197 00:11:16,400 --> 00:11:19,640 Speaker 3: It wasn't because they were hanging out together, and people 198 00:11:19,679 --> 00:11:23,280 Speaker 3: were asking why she made this announcement, and I believe 199 00:11:23,520 --> 00:11:24,720 Speaker 3: this is your answer. 200 00:11:25,320 --> 00:11:31,920 Speaker 1: Numerous fake images and statements about Epstein and me have 201 00:11:32,080 --> 00:11:39,719 Speaker 1: been calculating on social media for years now. Be cautious 202 00:11:39,880 --> 00:11:46,360 Speaker 1: about what you believe. These images and stories are completely false. 203 00:11:47,600 --> 00:11:51,800 Speaker 3: So this, to me was a very clear warning to 204 00:11:52,000 --> 00:11:54,760 Speaker 3: anybody who's going to publish something that's false that she 205 00:11:54,960 --> 00:11:58,800 Speaker 3: is ready for defamation or libel or slandal cases. 206 00:11:58,920 --> 00:11:59,720 Speaker 2: Slander cases. 207 00:12:00,080 --> 00:12:02,000 Speaker 5: Yeah, I would. I mean, I think we can all 208 00:12:02,040 --> 00:12:05,520 Speaker 5: agree pretty easily that everything associated with this Epstein scandal 209 00:12:05,600 --> 00:12:08,640 Speaker 5: is an absolute total mess right now. And so when 210 00:12:08,679 --> 00:12:10,520 Speaker 5: you've got a situation like that and we have an 211 00:12:10,520 --> 00:12:13,040 Speaker 5: event like this press conference from the First Lady yesterday, 212 00:12:13,120 --> 00:12:14,959 Speaker 5: I always try and take a step back and say, Okay, 213 00:12:15,600 --> 00:12:18,000 Speaker 5: what's the silver lining out of all of this? Anything 214 00:12:18,080 --> 00:12:19,720 Speaker 5: good come out of any of this? And I guess 215 00:12:19,760 --> 00:12:22,360 Speaker 5: what I come back to is at least we're still 216 00:12:22,360 --> 00:12:24,679 Speaker 5: talking about it. At least you've got somebody who's got 217 00:12:24,720 --> 00:12:27,160 Speaker 5: the power of the bully pulpit, the First Lady of 218 00:12:27,160 --> 00:12:30,840 Speaker 5: the United States, coming out and saying we need to 219 00:12:30,880 --> 00:12:33,200 Speaker 5: have Congress be more involved in this. We need to 220 00:12:33,240 --> 00:12:36,160 Speaker 5: hear more from the Epstein survivors. That's my biggest takeaway 221 00:12:36,160 --> 00:12:39,960 Speaker 5: from everything about this is people are still not letting 222 00:12:40,040 --> 00:12:44,079 Speaker 5: the Epstein scandal go away. We need to have more hearings, 223 00:12:44,080 --> 00:12:46,839 Speaker 5: We need more people speaking about this, we need more 224 00:12:46,880 --> 00:12:50,000 Speaker 5: documents released, and most importantly, we need to keep this 225 00:12:50,120 --> 00:12:52,839 Speaker 5: on the front burner, on the headlines, and part of 226 00:12:52,880 --> 00:12:54,280 Speaker 5: everybody's attention right now. 227 00:12:54,400 --> 00:12:56,559 Speaker 2: So did any of the press know that she was 228 00:12:56,640 --> 00:12:57,240 Speaker 2: going to do this? 229 00:12:57,440 --> 00:13:00,520 Speaker 3: Here is a Fox News senior White House course respondents 230 00:13:00,559 --> 00:13:02,840 Speaker 3: saying they had no idea. 231 00:13:03,480 --> 00:13:06,120 Speaker 10: This came out of left field for us. Here at 232 00:13:06,240 --> 00:13:08,800 Speaker 10: covering the White House, the press shop did not give 233 00:13:08,880 --> 00:13:11,360 Speaker 10: us any insight into what this announcement would be about. 234 00:13:11,679 --> 00:13:14,800 Speaker 10: That's typical oftentimes, the First Lady doesn't share a lot 235 00:13:14,880 --> 00:13:20,040 Speaker 10: of details with the White House communications shop that covers 236 00:13:20,040 --> 00:13:22,760 Speaker 10: the president on what her announcements might be. Didn't, for instance, 237 00:13:22,760 --> 00:13:26,160 Speaker 10: get a lot of details ahead of her prior announcement 238 00:13:26,240 --> 00:13:29,520 Speaker 10: on her efforts bringing home Ukrainian children. But similarly, we 239 00:13:29,559 --> 00:13:32,080 Speaker 10: had no heads up on this. We're not getting any 240 00:13:32,080 --> 00:13:35,439 Speaker 10: information from them now, including whether or not the President 241 00:13:35,520 --> 00:13:38,880 Speaker 10: was aware she would be making this statement. It's unclear 242 00:13:38,920 --> 00:13:42,800 Speaker 10: to us if she is reacting to something or that's 243 00:13:42,840 --> 00:13:45,800 Speaker 10: already happened, already come out, or getting ahead of a 244 00:13:45,840 --> 00:13:48,400 Speaker 10: story that might be about to drop, but we don't 245 00:13:48,559 --> 00:13:49,040 Speaker 10: really know. 246 00:13:49,720 --> 00:13:51,000 Speaker 2: I think it's a little bit of both. 247 00:13:51,040 --> 00:13:53,400 Speaker 3: I think she's reacting to the stuff that's already been 248 00:13:53,440 --> 00:13:55,680 Speaker 3: out there, and I think she's saying, you know what, 249 00:13:56,360 --> 00:13:59,640 Speaker 3: I'm done with this, stop putting stuff out there about 250 00:13:59,640 --> 00:14:03,400 Speaker 3: me and for the victims, let's get it on the record. 251 00:14:03,440 --> 00:14:06,439 Speaker 5: Congressionally, yeah, this also goes back to the old axiom 252 00:14:06,720 --> 00:14:09,240 Speaker 5: of you know, keep your eye on the quiet ones. 253 00:14:09,320 --> 00:14:11,680 Speaker 5: Melania Trump does not lock the spotlight. She does not 254 00:14:11,840 --> 00:14:14,040 Speaker 5: like to speak in public. You don't usually hear much 255 00:14:14,080 --> 00:14:14,400 Speaker 5: from her. 256 00:14:14,520 --> 00:14:15,920 Speaker 2: She's not playing second fiddle on this. 257 00:14:16,320 --> 00:14:19,880 Speaker 5: But when so when that type of person does speak, 258 00:14:20,320 --> 00:14:23,520 Speaker 5: everybody stops what they're doing and listens. And that's exactly 259 00:14:23,520 --> 00:14:25,240 Speaker 5: what we saw yesterday. It was it was it was 260 00:14:25,280 --> 00:14:27,200 Speaker 5: amazing to see because this came out of left field 261 00:14:27,200 --> 00:14:28,920 Speaker 5: and everybody's like, what she's on TV. 262 00:14:29,520 --> 00:14:32,480 Speaker 3: We're calling at the Streisan effect, where like nobody was 263 00:14:32,560 --> 00:14:35,760 Speaker 3: really paying much attention to Milania in regards to the 264 00:14:35,760 --> 00:14:39,640 Speaker 3: Epstein files, but now everybody is absolutely you're listening to 265 00:14:39,680 --> 00:14:42,080 Speaker 3: Casey and Jim it is ninety three WIBC. 266 00:14:44,760 --> 00:14:47,160 Speaker 2: Everybody's gonna say it's only two bucks a tank, But 267 00:14:47,200 --> 00:14:48,480 Speaker 2: that kind of misses the point. 268 00:14:49,960 --> 00:14:55,600 Speaker 3: Government taking less is the actual policy shift, of course, 269 00:14:55,640 --> 00:14:58,640 Speaker 3: I'm talking about the suspension of the use tax on 270 00:14:58,760 --> 00:15:02,400 Speaker 3: gasoline or in Indiana, Micron made that announcement of the 271 00:15:02,520 --> 00:15:09,200 Speaker 3: temporary gas use tax suspension seven percent tax being suspended 272 00:15:09,240 --> 00:15:12,800 Speaker 3: for thirty days. The real question is why is that 273 00:15:12,960 --> 00:15:15,040 Speaker 3: tax there in the first place. If they can just 274 00:15:15,160 --> 00:15:17,720 Speaker 3: pause it, it's like willy nilly, one day we can 275 00:15:17,760 --> 00:15:21,400 Speaker 3: have it, one day we can't. Regardless, you've got Todd Rokeita, 276 00:15:22,120 --> 00:15:25,240 Speaker 3: and he is saying that he is here to protect 277 00:15:25,280 --> 00:15:27,640 Speaker 3: you from gas gouging at the pump. 278 00:15:27,920 --> 00:15:31,560 Speaker 9: This is Indiana Attorney General Todd Rokeita, with Indiana now 279 00:15:31,680 --> 00:15:34,600 Speaker 9: under declared energy emergency. I want you to know that 280 00:15:34,680 --> 00:15:37,720 Speaker 9: our office is here to protect you from gas gouging. 281 00:15:38,240 --> 00:15:40,720 Speaker 9: We know every penny matters right now, and we are 282 00:15:40,760 --> 00:15:43,640 Speaker 9: committed to making sure Hoosiers are treated fairly and that 283 00:15:43,800 --> 00:15:48,360 Speaker 9: bad actors are held accountable. So what exactly is gas gouging? Well, 284 00:15:48,640 --> 00:15:51,680 Speaker 9: under Indiana law, it occurs when a gas station charges 285 00:15:51,720 --> 00:15:55,560 Speaker 9: a price that grossly exceeds what they were charging during 286 00:15:55,600 --> 00:15:59,720 Speaker 9: the seven days before the emergency, specifically April second through 287 00:15:59,720 --> 00:16:03,800 Speaker 9: April seventh of this year. Not every price increase is gouging. 288 00:16:03,880 --> 00:16:04,840 Speaker 5: It's not that simple. 289 00:16:05,280 --> 00:16:08,560 Speaker 9: Prices can fluctuate based on marker conditions, of course, but 290 00:16:08,640 --> 00:16:12,520 Speaker 9: when an increase becomes obvious and unacceptable, that's when it 291 00:16:12,520 --> 00:16:16,160 Speaker 9: crosses the line into potential illegal activity. If you see 292 00:16:16,160 --> 00:16:19,600 Speaker 9: a price that looks clearly excessive, check sites like gas 293 00:16:19,640 --> 00:16:23,240 Speaker 9: Buddy or other resources for the recent price history, and 294 00:16:23,360 --> 00:16:25,600 Speaker 9: file a complaint to my office if necessary. 295 00:16:25,680 --> 00:16:27,520 Speaker 3: Oh wait, minut it will be on it. So you've 296 00:16:27,520 --> 00:16:30,280 Speaker 3: got Braun who's acting. You've got Roketa who's going to 297 00:16:30,280 --> 00:16:33,960 Speaker 3: be enforcing. The gas tax suspension only works if the 298 00:16:34,000 --> 00:16:38,160 Speaker 3: retailers actually pass the savings onto customers and Roketa's office 299 00:16:38,200 --> 00:16:43,320 Speaker 3: making it clear that they're going to be watching and waiting. 300 00:16:43,920 --> 00:16:47,480 Speaker 5: Look at Attorney General Todd roketa very polarizing figure. A 301 00:16:47,480 --> 00:16:49,360 Speaker 5: lot of people love him, a lot of people hate him. 302 00:16:49,400 --> 00:16:52,480 Speaker 5: I don't think anybody can dispute the fact that he 303 00:16:52,600 --> 00:16:55,600 Speaker 5: has pretty much been a champion and a consumer advocate 304 00:16:55,640 --> 00:16:59,120 Speaker 5: since he's been Attorney General Todd Rokeeda loves sewing companies. 305 00:16:59,240 --> 00:17:01,280 Speaker 5: I mean, just ask, he'll tell you. He sued a 306 00:17:01,280 --> 00:17:05,159 Speaker 5: ton of pharmaceutical companies over insulin prices. He sued you know, 307 00:17:05,240 --> 00:17:09,960 Speaker 5: groups for medicaid overcharges. He sued telemarketers TikTok. He sued 308 00:17:09,960 --> 00:17:13,760 Speaker 5: the Indianapolis Public school system about federal enforcement in their schools. 309 00:17:13,880 --> 00:17:18,000 Speaker 5: He sued IU Health. He has been an advocate for 310 00:17:18,160 --> 00:17:21,120 Speaker 5: consumers and I think that that is a big part 311 00:17:21,160 --> 00:17:23,160 Speaker 5: of this. And by the way, let's take a look 312 00:17:23,160 --> 00:17:25,720 Speaker 5: at gas prices over the last twenty four hours. Okay, 313 00:17:25,760 --> 00:17:28,440 Speaker 5: and a lot of this has broken recently. Yes, yeah, 314 00:17:28,480 --> 00:17:31,480 Speaker 5: gas prices are down nine cents a gallon. 315 00:17:32,400 --> 00:17:35,200 Speaker 3: They were just up there nine cents, so now they're 316 00:17:35,240 --> 00:17:36,240 Speaker 3: back down nine sense. 317 00:17:36,359 --> 00:17:38,560 Speaker 5: Yeah, And you know what is that? Is that just 318 00:17:38,600 --> 00:17:41,159 Speaker 5: the market fluctuation? Is that the facts that there's no 319 00:17:41,280 --> 00:17:43,600 Speaker 5: sales tax on it? Is that the fact that Todd 320 00:17:43,640 --> 00:17:46,000 Speaker 5: Rokeda came out with his fists up and said, hey, 321 00:17:46,040 --> 00:17:48,880 Speaker 5: I dare you to start price gouging when it comes 322 00:17:48,920 --> 00:17:51,320 Speaker 5: to gas prices. I don't know, probably a little bit 323 00:17:51,359 --> 00:17:53,720 Speaker 5: of everything. I'm just happy that gas prices are going 324 00:17:53,760 --> 00:17:54,560 Speaker 5: down instead of up. 325 00:17:54,640 --> 00:17:57,440 Speaker 3: So you've got the Attorney general saying that he's watching 326 00:17:57,640 --> 00:18:01,399 Speaker 3: and you know he has t right. He's putting his 327 00:18:01,480 --> 00:18:05,480 Speaker 3: office on gas gouging enforcement, and he did that the 328 00:18:05,520 --> 00:18:08,119 Speaker 3: same day that Braun made the announcement of the suspension. 329 00:18:08,200 --> 00:18:09,560 Speaker 2: So that's the good combination. 330 00:18:09,720 --> 00:18:15,000 Speaker 3: You've got Braun who's executing, and then you've got Roketa. 331 00:18:14,920 --> 00:18:16,960 Speaker 2: Who is the enforcer. 332 00:18:17,119 --> 00:18:21,600 Speaker 3: And that is actually something tangible that the government is 333 00:18:21,720 --> 00:18:24,919 Speaker 3: doing for you. Now, I mean, let's be real with 334 00:18:24,960 --> 00:18:27,800 Speaker 3: each other. They're the ones who put in the gas 335 00:18:27,840 --> 00:18:29,720 Speaker 3: tax in the first place. 336 00:18:29,840 --> 00:18:32,080 Speaker 2: Oh at now they're turning heel absolutely. 337 00:18:32,119 --> 00:18:35,640 Speaker 5: Remember in twenty seventeen, when this new gas tax was implemented, 338 00:18:35,760 --> 00:18:38,280 Speaker 5: it was sold to us, the voters of the state 339 00:18:38,320 --> 00:18:41,280 Speaker 5: of Indiana that hey, I know, we're increasing gas tax 340 00:18:41,280 --> 00:18:44,160 Speaker 5: a lot, we're adding an additional ten cents, but this 341 00:18:44,240 --> 00:18:46,120 Speaker 5: is what's going to fix the roads. Oh and by 342 00:18:46,160 --> 00:18:48,119 Speaker 5: the way, we're going to peg it to inflation so 343 00:18:48,160 --> 00:18:49,800 Speaker 5: we don't have to come back every year and ask 344 00:18:49,840 --> 00:18:53,600 Speaker 5: you for more money. This is the solution twenty seventeen, 345 00:18:53,880 --> 00:18:56,320 Speaker 5: the new gas tax. And here we are ten years later. 346 00:18:56,359 --> 00:18:58,119 Speaker 5: Our roads are a disaster and they're going to be 347 00:18:58,160 --> 00:19:01,240 Speaker 5: turning I seventy into a toll road because we still 348 00:19:01,480 --> 00:19:04,040 Speaker 5: don't have enough money to maintain our roads. 349 00:19:04,119 --> 00:19:08,280 Speaker 3: Rokita called it a energy emergency. It's an emergency. 350 00:19:08,800 --> 00:19:11,040 Speaker 5: Well, as we heard with NICKI Kelly yesterday, you know, 351 00:19:11,119 --> 00:19:12,840 Speaker 5: she talked a little bit about this, and I asked 352 00:19:12,840 --> 00:19:14,680 Speaker 5: her the question. I was like, you know, how does 353 00:19:14,720 --> 00:19:18,040 Speaker 5: Mike Braun have the authority without the legislator to legislature 354 00:19:18,119 --> 00:19:21,520 Speaker 5: to just pretty much remove sales tax on gasoline? And 355 00:19:21,560 --> 00:19:25,160 Speaker 5: it goes back to a statute that the lawmakers did pass. 356 00:19:25,320 --> 00:19:28,200 Speaker 5: It had been used by former Governor Frank O'Bannon in 357 00:19:28,240 --> 00:19:31,439 Speaker 5: the early two thousands. So yes, Governor Braun has the 358 00:19:31,520 --> 00:19:34,680 Speaker 5: authority to do this, and he used that statutory law 359 00:19:34,720 --> 00:19:37,760 Speaker 5: that had previously been asked to do it this time. 360 00:19:37,840 --> 00:19:40,639 Speaker 5: And according to the way the law is written, he 361 00:19:40,680 --> 00:19:44,199 Speaker 5: can do this during a quote energy emergency, which is 362 00:19:44,200 --> 00:19:45,800 Speaker 5: why they keep using that verbage. 363 00:19:45,880 --> 00:19:49,800 Speaker 2: Let's just call it an energy emergency, perpetually. 364 00:19:49,560 --> 00:19:52,240 Speaker 5: Forever, no more sales tax on gas I like that. 365 00:19:52,400 --> 00:19:54,680 Speaker 5: I'd like to see some politician run on that platform. 366 00:19:54,760 --> 00:19:57,360 Speaker 2: Do that, Governor Braun. You're listening to Casey and Jim. 367 00:19:57,400 --> 00:19:59,160 Speaker 2: It is ninety three WIBC. 368 00:20:01,800 --> 00:20:05,760 Speaker 11: I can announce that the president is dispatching his negotiating 369 00:20:05,760 --> 00:20:08,600 Speaker 11: team led by the Vice President of the United States 370 00:20:08,640 --> 00:20:12,760 Speaker 11: jd Vance, Special Envoy Witcoff and mister Kushner to Islamabad 371 00:20:13,000 --> 00:20:15,320 Speaker 11: for talks this weekend. The first round of those talks 372 00:20:15,320 --> 00:20:18,639 Speaker 11: will take place on Saturday morning local time, and we 373 00:20:18,680 --> 00:20:20,680 Speaker 11: know we look forward to those in person meetings. 374 00:20:21,000 --> 00:20:24,760 Speaker 7: Has iron given the administration any indication that would simply 375 00:20:24,880 --> 00:20:29,200 Speaker 7: turn over the enriched uranium or is this an expectation 376 00:20:29,280 --> 00:20:32,040 Speaker 7: that President has that you have descended grown. 377 00:20:33,359 --> 00:20:35,320 Speaker 11: This is on the top of the priority risk for 378 00:20:35,359 --> 00:20:37,960 Speaker 11: the President and his negotiating team as they head into 379 00:20:38,000 --> 00:20:40,680 Speaker 11: this next round of discussions. And as I said in 380 00:20:40,680 --> 00:20:42,919 Speaker 11: my opener, that is a red lion that the President 381 00:20:43,040 --> 00:20:45,760 Speaker 11: is not going to back away from, and he's committed 382 00:20:45,800 --> 00:20:47,480 Speaker 11: to ensuring that takes place. 383 00:20:47,960 --> 00:20:49,920 Speaker 2: We hope it will be through the BOMA site companies. 384 00:20:50,119 --> 00:20:52,840 Speaker 3: So that is the White House Press Secretary Carolyn LaVette 385 00:20:53,200 --> 00:20:58,080 Speaker 3: telling reporters that President Trump is dispatching his Iran negotiating team, 386 00:20:58,200 --> 00:21:02,560 Speaker 3: led by Vice President d Evans to Pakistan for talks, 387 00:21:02,600 --> 00:21:05,679 Speaker 3: adding that the first round of negotiations would take place 388 00:21:05,960 --> 00:21:08,919 Speaker 3: on Saturday. So you've got the Vice President of the 389 00:21:09,000 --> 00:21:12,280 Speaker 3: United states he's already on his way personally flying to 390 00:21:12,359 --> 00:21:15,760 Speaker 3: Pakistan to negotiate with Iran. This is not just a 391 00:21:15,840 --> 00:21:20,639 Speaker 3: simple diplomatic errand this is JD Vance being trusted with 392 00:21:21,119 --> 00:21:26,840 Speaker 3: potentially one of the most consequential negotiations of this administration. 393 00:21:27,320 --> 00:21:30,600 Speaker 3: If it works, it really could reshape the twenty eight race. 394 00:21:31,040 --> 00:21:33,800 Speaker 3: If it doesn't, well, the bridges and power plans on 395 00:21:33,960 --> 00:21:36,800 Speaker 3: our back on the target list. Jd Vance says that 396 00:21:36,880 --> 00:21:41,159 Speaker 3: he is looking forward to the negotiations and that he 397 00:21:41,280 --> 00:21:44,119 Speaker 3: hopes Iran will act in good faith. But he also 398 00:21:44,160 --> 00:21:47,280 Speaker 3: warned if they try to play us, the US won't 399 00:21:47,280 --> 00:21:51,000 Speaker 3: be receptive. That's interesting that he would say that they 400 00:21:51,040 --> 00:21:53,200 Speaker 3: better not try to play us, because just a few 401 00:21:53,240 --> 00:21:55,560 Speaker 3: days ago we played a clip of Donald Trump saying 402 00:21:56,000 --> 00:21:59,760 Speaker 3: that they knew Iran were bullcrappers and that's what they've 403 00:21:59,760 --> 00:22:01,679 Speaker 3: done for nearly fifty years. 404 00:22:01,800 --> 00:22:05,400 Speaker 5: Yeah, this is a very interesting negotiating team that's going here. 405 00:22:05,440 --> 00:22:05,600 Speaker 12: Now. 406 00:22:05,600 --> 00:22:08,400 Speaker 5: You've got Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner. Now, they've been 407 00:22:08,560 --> 00:22:12,840 Speaker 5: Donald Trump's chief negotiator since he came into office. Last year, 408 00:22:13,000 --> 00:22:17,280 Speaker 5: they did the Gaza hostage negotiation, did the post war 409 00:22:17,400 --> 00:22:21,760 Speaker 5: Gaza hostage plan, they were negotiating with Iran last year. 410 00:22:21,800 --> 00:22:25,240 Speaker 5: They have been negotiating during the Russia Ukraine conflict, So 411 00:22:25,480 --> 00:22:29,760 Speaker 5: that's kind of Donald Trump's negotiating guys. Why he's sending 412 00:22:29,880 --> 00:22:33,439 Speaker 5: JD very interesting, especially because all the reports have been 413 00:22:33,480 --> 00:22:35,840 Speaker 5: this entire time that JD was one of the few 414 00:22:35,840 --> 00:22:39,960 Speaker 5: cabinet members that was vehemently opposed to military action in Iran. 415 00:22:40,280 --> 00:22:43,439 Speaker 5: I also think it's interesting that if they were to 416 00:22:43,480 --> 00:22:46,000 Speaker 5: add a third, because Kushner and Witkoff have kind of 417 00:22:46,000 --> 00:22:48,000 Speaker 5: been this you know, tag team duo that have been 418 00:22:48,000 --> 00:22:50,119 Speaker 5: doing this sort of negotiating for the last year and 419 00:22:50,160 --> 00:22:52,960 Speaker 5: a half. Interesting that they add a third. Interesting that 420 00:22:53,040 --> 00:22:57,920 Speaker 5: it's JD. Also interesting that it's not Marco Rubio, who 421 00:22:57,920 --> 00:23:01,080 Speaker 5: has really been kind of the second face out in 422 00:23:01,200 --> 00:23:04,600 Speaker 5: public and during this Iran war. Obviously Trump's been the 423 00:23:04,640 --> 00:23:07,440 Speaker 5: main one, but the secondary one has been Rubio, and 424 00:23:07,520 --> 00:23:11,440 Speaker 5: everybody's been singing Rubio's praises. I mean, Rubio stock has 425 00:23:11,440 --> 00:23:14,000 Speaker 5: gone through the roof the last six weeks here, and 426 00:23:14,040 --> 00:23:17,720 Speaker 5: he's performed spectacularly. I find it fascinating that Trump is 427 00:23:17,760 --> 00:23:20,240 Speaker 5: sending JD vance right now instead of Rubio as part 428 00:23:20,240 --> 00:23:20,840 Speaker 5: of this well. 429 00:23:20,880 --> 00:23:22,800 Speaker 2: I believe one of the reasons that they're sending JD. 430 00:23:22,920 --> 00:23:27,920 Speaker 3: Vance is because he is the the second highest representative 431 00:23:28,200 --> 00:23:29,280 Speaker 3: of the United States. 432 00:23:29,359 --> 00:23:29,840 Speaker 5: Good point. 433 00:23:29,920 --> 00:23:30,919 Speaker 2: Yeah, And they're not going to. 434 00:23:30,920 --> 00:23:34,679 Speaker 3: Send Donald Trump because it's way too tenuous in that region. 435 00:23:34,920 --> 00:23:38,080 Speaker 5: Well, and you could also make the argument that, hey, JD. 436 00:23:38,200 --> 00:23:40,359 Speaker 5: Vance never wanted to be in this thing. If we 437 00:23:40,400 --> 00:23:42,359 Speaker 5: want to get this over and get a deal, the 438 00:23:42,400 --> 00:23:44,760 Speaker 5: guy who hates every part of it didn't want anything 439 00:23:44,760 --> 00:23:45,280 Speaker 5: to do with it. 440 00:23:45,160 --> 00:23:47,160 Speaker 2: It's a good cop bad cop situation. Yeah. 441 00:23:47,200 --> 00:23:49,080 Speaker 5: Maybe, or he's just the one, you know what, let's 442 00:23:49,119 --> 00:23:50,800 Speaker 5: just get out of here and get a deal done. 443 00:23:50,880 --> 00:23:52,960 Speaker 5: That may be another good reason why JD is part 444 00:23:52,960 --> 00:23:55,560 Speaker 5: of this, but it is. It is fascinating that they've 445 00:23:55,600 --> 00:23:58,680 Speaker 5: kind of because JD's been laying low, haven't heard much 446 00:23:58,680 --> 00:24:01,439 Speaker 5: about him since the Iran started, and now all of 447 00:24:01,440 --> 00:24:04,359 Speaker 5: a sudden, he is thrust into the spotlight as one 448 00:24:04,400 --> 00:24:07,600 Speaker 5: of the primary negotiators in this very tenuous ceasefire that 449 00:24:07,600 --> 00:24:07,879 Speaker 5: we've got. 450 00:24:07,960 --> 00:24:09,600 Speaker 3: I think it really comes down to the fact that 451 00:24:09,640 --> 00:24:11,960 Speaker 3: they're not going to send Donald Trump over there, so 452 00:24:12,240 --> 00:24:15,560 Speaker 3: they're going to send second in line Ran Yeah, number two. 453 00:24:15,720 --> 00:24:19,520 Speaker 3: Vance said as he left Washington this morning that Trump 454 00:24:19,560 --> 00:24:24,000 Speaker 3: gave them some very clear guidelines for the talks. Now 455 00:24:24,000 --> 00:24:28,240 Speaker 3: what those are and the outcome of the decisions, well, 456 00:24:28,359 --> 00:24:32,679 Speaker 3: that remains to be seen. Americans reacting to Operation Epic 457 00:24:32,720 --> 00:24:35,600 Speaker 3: Fury and the ceasefire in Iran, I do. 458 00:24:35,800 --> 00:24:38,080 Speaker 13: I do, because when he went in on day one 459 00:24:38,160 --> 00:24:40,399 Speaker 13: and took care of the matter, I think he definitely 460 00:24:40,480 --> 00:24:43,440 Speaker 13: was able to bring strength through peace in a certain way. 461 00:24:43,560 --> 00:24:46,440 Speaker 13: So I'm hoping that that can actually transfer into a 462 00:24:46,480 --> 00:24:48,919 Speaker 13: piece deal, which I'm very confident he'll be able to 463 00:24:48,960 --> 00:24:49,239 Speaker 13: do so. 464 00:24:49,520 --> 00:24:52,359 Speaker 9: I would wager to say there's more behind the scenes 465 00:24:52,400 --> 00:24:55,480 Speaker 9: that we're aware of, and things are just falling into 466 00:24:55,520 --> 00:24:56,760 Speaker 9: place as planned. 467 00:24:56,840 --> 00:24:58,680 Speaker 12: But just like with children, you got to set the 468 00:24:58,800 --> 00:25:01,359 Speaker 12: rules and keep the content. Thences you have to be tough. 469 00:25:01,520 --> 00:25:03,600 Speaker 12: I like that he's taking steps to help. I mean, 470 00:25:03,800 --> 00:25:05,880 Speaker 12: I really think it will make a difference and all, yeah, 471 00:25:06,119 --> 00:25:07,840 Speaker 12: change the face of the world, but I think it'll 472 00:25:07,880 --> 00:25:09,160 Speaker 12: be positive in the end. 473 00:25:09,320 --> 00:25:12,040 Speaker 8: I care for the people of Iran and I want 474 00:25:12,080 --> 00:25:17,280 Speaker 8: to make sure that they are protected and they are liberated. 475 00:25:17,480 --> 00:25:19,800 Speaker 8: I hope that they came to some sort of agreement 476 00:25:20,720 --> 00:25:25,880 Speaker 8: towards peace and towards the people of Iran. Iran being safer. 477 00:25:26,080 --> 00:25:29,200 Speaker 3: So you've got regular Americans talking about the ceasefire, and 478 00:25:29,440 --> 00:25:31,760 Speaker 3: you could tell in their voices they have genuine hope, 479 00:25:32,240 --> 00:25:36,720 Speaker 3: measured optism, optimism. But that is the absolute antidote to 480 00:25:36,760 --> 00:25:40,080 Speaker 3: every cable news panel who is just negative, negative, negative, 481 00:25:40,119 --> 00:25:41,880 Speaker 3: pooh pooh pooh. 482 00:25:41,480 --> 00:25:42,480 Speaker 2: We hate Trump. 483 00:25:42,880 --> 00:25:45,240 Speaker 3: You actually heard one of them say, I think it'll 484 00:25:45,280 --> 00:25:49,399 Speaker 3: be positive in the end, and that's representative of a 485 00:25:49,440 --> 00:25:53,200 Speaker 3: lot of people. We're not naive, not cynical, just hoping 486 00:25:53,240 --> 00:25:56,520 Speaker 3: that the right things happen for the right reasons. 487 00:25:56,840 --> 00:25:58,840 Speaker 5: We've said that. It's funny you mentioned that, because we've 488 00:25:58,840 --> 00:26:01,800 Speaker 5: said that since everything's started here, this is gonna be ugly, 489 00:26:02,000 --> 00:26:04,119 Speaker 5: it's gonna be messy. There are gonna be times where 490 00:26:04,160 --> 00:26:06,320 Speaker 5: we're gonna have victories and wins, and there's gonna be 491 00:26:06,359 --> 00:26:09,480 Speaker 5: other times where we've got certain losses. And after all 492 00:26:09,560 --> 00:26:12,920 Speaker 5: of this is over, if Donald Trump can cobble together 493 00:26:13,280 --> 00:26:16,120 Speaker 5: some accomplishments that he's got and call them a win 494 00:26:16,280 --> 00:26:19,280 Speaker 5: and be able to sell that to the American people, 495 00:26:19,840 --> 00:26:23,359 Speaker 5: none of all this messiness and military action, none of 496 00:26:23,400 --> 00:26:25,440 Speaker 5: it will matter. Donald Trump will come out on top. 497 00:26:25,600 --> 00:26:27,840 Speaker 5: But that's a huge if. I think there's also a 498 00:26:27,880 --> 00:26:30,280 Speaker 5: huge narrative going on in the media right now that 499 00:26:30,440 --> 00:26:32,879 Speaker 5: you know we're on our way. Oh, the piece is inevitable. 500 00:26:32,880 --> 00:26:35,680 Speaker 5: We've got a ceasefire, the negotiations are going over there. 501 00:26:35,840 --> 00:26:38,159 Speaker 5: We're just you know, one step away from everything in 502 00:26:38,160 --> 00:26:42,160 Speaker 5: this war associated being over. That is not the case necessarily. 503 00:26:42,240 --> 00:26:45,960 Speaker 5: Look Iran, what did Trump say about him earlier? They 504 00:26:46,119 --> 00:26:46,919 Speaker 5: like to mess around. 505 00:26:47,000 --> 00:26:49,760 Speaker 2: They're like, well, bull crap, they like to bull crap. 506 00:26:49,880 --> 00:26:52,440 Speaker 5: Yeah, and you know, Trump's not gonna let anyone pull 507 00:26:52,480 --> 00:26:54,760 Speaker 5: one over on him. And so I think this is 508 00:26:54,840 --> 00:26:57,159 Speaker 5: going to be a tough negotiation. And I you know, 509 00:26:57,200 --> 00:26:59,399 Speaker 5: this is only a two weeks seas fire and it 510 00:26:59,440 --> 00:27:04,000 Speaker 5: wouldn't prize me if there's more military action to come. 511 00:27:04,080 --> 00:27:07,080 Speaker 5: That may be just the cynic in me, and I 512 00:27:07,119 --> 00:27:09,560 Speaker 5: certainly admit that I'm a pretty cynical person, but I 513 00:27:09,680 --> 00:27:14,000 Speaker 5: Iran has been a bad actor for fifty years. Donald 514 00:27:14,040 --> 00:27:17,080 Speaker 5: Trump is not going to let somebody push him around, 515 00:27:17,119 --> 00:27:20,480 Speaker 5: and he's the best negotiator in the world. Those two 516 00:27:20,560 --> 00:27:24,359 Speaker 5: things are going to be hard to settle and finalize 517 00:27:24,480 --> 00:27:25,800 Speaker 5: in a short two week window. 518 00:27:26,000 --> 00:27:27,080 Speaker 2: Will the ceasefire. 519 00:27:27,240 --> 00:27:31,280 Speaker 3: Last couple of things you have to consider Iranian proxies 520 00:27:31,320 --> 00:27:36,560 Speaker 3: like Hesblah and Huthi's they are part of the ceasefire, seemingly, 521 00:27:37,119 --> 00:27:41,560 Speaker 3: so Israel or US allies attack them or vice versa, 522 00:27:42,119 --> 00:27:44,960 Speaker 3: things are just going to restart again. You've got Lebanese 523 00:27:45,040 --> 00:27:48,160 Speaker 3: and Israeli representatives. They're expected to meet at the State 524 00:27:48,200 --> 00:27:51,800 Speaker 3: Department next week for US mediated talks. 525 00:27:52,480 --> 00:27:53,240 Speaker 2: This as the. 526 00:27:53,240 --> 00:27:57,200 Speaker 3: Vice President is traveling over there for negotiations with Iran. 527 00:27:57,600 --> 00:28:01,240 Speaker 3: You also have to consider the oil companies. Without save 528 00:28:01,400 --> 00:28:04,840 Speaker 3: passage in the Strait of Hormuz, the oil companies are 529 00:28:04,880 --> 00:28:06,119 Speaker 3: not going to get insurance. 530 00:28:06,200 --> 00:28:07,359 Speaker 2: That's a real problem. 531 00:28:07,920 --> 00:28:10,440 Speaker 3: You also have to consider that the United States began 532 00:28:10,480 --> 00:28:12,679 Speaker 3: deploying thousands of troops in the region. 533 00:28:13,080 --> 00:28:15,280 Speaker 2: That takes a lot of time and money just to 534 00:28:15,320 --> 00:28:16,160 Speaker 2: recall them all. 535 00:28:16,280 --> 00:28:18,560 Speaker 5: You bring up a really good point about Israel, and 536 00:28:18,640 --> 00:28:21,840 Speaker 5: I don't think we talk about them enough as part 537 00:28:21,920 --> 00:28:26,680 Speaker 5: of this ceasefire here. Because Israel's separate, independent country. They're 538 00:28:26,720 --> 00:28:29,119 Speaker 5: going to have their own goals, whether they were public. 539 00:28:28,880 --> 00:28:32,520 Speaker 3: They're they're not simpatico with what we're wanting exactly. 540 00:28:32,560 --> 00:28:34,560 Speaker 5: They're going to have their own goals, whether they're publicly 541 00:28:34,600 --> 00:28:36,840 Speaker 5: stated or they keep them close to the vest here. 542 00:28:36,880 --> 00:28:38,600 Speaker 5: And I think that's what we're seeing play out. This 543 00:28:38,720 --> 00:28:42,760 Speaker 5: ceasefire was negotiated strictly with Iran. It didn't have anything 544 00:28:42,760 --> 00:28:44,840 Speaker 5: to do with Hezbola and what they're doing in Lebanon 545 00:28:45,040 --> 00:28:48,080 Speaker 5: or the Huthi's in Yemen, which are Iran's proxy terror 546 00:28:48,120 --> 00:28:50,560 Speaker 5: groups in the region. And so you've seen all of 547 00:28:50,600 --> 00:28:54,160 Speaker 5: this bombing that has taken place by Israel against Hesbelah 548 00:28:54,240 --> 00:28:56,920 Speaker 5: in Lebanon the last forty eight hours, and I think 549 00:28:56,960 --> 00:29:00,480 Speaker 5: that's going to continue because from Israel's perspective, wrong, this 550 00:29:00,600 --> 00:29:03,800 Speaker 5: is just the analysis of it. From Israel's perspective, it's 551 00:29:04,000 --> 00:29:06,440 Speaker 5: likely that Hesbola and the hoo Thi's will be rolled 552 00:29:06,520 --> 00:29:09,560 Speaker 5: up into whatever sort of peace plan exists, even though 553 00:29:09,600 --> 00:29:12,600 Speaker 5: they're not part of the ceasefire. So Israel's probably thinking, 554 00:29:12,760 --> 00:29:14,560 Speaker 5: all right, we got to get our shots in on 555 00:29:14,600 --> 00:29:17,200 Speaker 5: Hesbola now before our hands are tied with some sort 556 00:29:17,240 --> 00:29:20,080 Speaker 5: of agreement that Donald Trump ends up putting in place 557 00:29:20,080 --> 00:29:21,280 Speaker 5: with the Iranian leadership. 558 00:29:21,480 --> 00:29:22,360 Speaker 2: So as jd. 559 00:29:22,520 --> 00:29:25,720 Speaker 3: Vance is going over there for negotiations, he says that 560 00:29:25,840 --> 00:29:29,880 Speaker 3: he expects Iran to comply or possibly face large scale attacks. 561 00:29:30,440 --> 00:29:31,840 Speaker 5: I think it's a good first step. 562 00:29:31,960 --> 00:29:33,880 Speaker 13: We're going to see if we can make more progress 563 00:29:34,040 --> 00:29:35,400 Speaker 13: here in the day's to. 564 00:29:35,440 --> 00:29:38,680 Speaker 3: Com something else that I found interesting, Kevin O'Leary. 565 00:29:39,120 --> 00:29:42,600 Speaker 2: He says, you know him, mister wonderful wonder shark tank 566 00:29:42,640 --> 00:29:43,680 Speaker 2: guy money man. 567 00:29:44,200 --> 00:29:47,560 Speaker 3: He says that the Middle East is about to make 568 00:29:47,680 --> 00:29:52,000 Speaker 3: a big comeback if the US and Iran can run 569 00:29:52,080 --> 00:29:55,400 Speaker 3: a joint venture in the Strait of Horror moves. 570 00:29:55,640 --> 00:29:57,880 Speaker 14: Think about this, if you knew a certainty that you 571 00:29:58,000 --> 00:30:00,320 Speaker 14: get through and you had to pay a price sureance, 572 00:30:00,320 --> 00:30:04,880 Speaker 14: premiums would come down. All the other important waterways, Suez Canal, 573 00:30:05,200 --> 00:30:08,640 Speaker 14: Panama Canal. We don't have rogue nations controlling though, so 574 00:30:08,720 --> 00:30:11,840 Speaker 14: there's a cost to get through with certainty. I think 575 00:30:11,880 --> 00:30:14,320 Speaker 14: the market would be willing to pay for that, and 576 00:30:14,360 --> 00:30:17,760 Speaker 14: that could also fund what Iran's going to need to 577 00:30:17,800 --> 00:30:20,960 Speaker 14: rebuild the infrastructure they've lost. It depends if they really 578 00:30:20,960 --> 00:30:21,760 Speaker 14: want peace or not. 579 00:30:21,880 --> 00:30:24,080 Speaker 2: If they don't, there still. 580 00:30:23,840 --> 00:30:26,160 Speaker 14: Could be a tithe but it would be for the 581 00:30:26,240 --> 00:30:31,240 Speaker 14: nations that care the region, UAE, Bakhraine, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, 582 00:30:31,720 --> 00:30:34,480 Speaker 14: and of course the Chinese in Singapore and Japan. 583 00:30:34,800 --> 00:30:36,000 Speaker 5: They'll all pay. 584 00:30:36,240 --> 00:30:38,520 Speaker 14: And if it's five or six billion dollars a month, 585 00:30:38,600 --> 00:30:42,280 Speaker 14: it's nothing compared to the value of stability in getting 586 00:30:42,320 --> 00:30:44,400 Speaker 14: twenty one percent of the world's oil through that straight. 587 00:30:44,800 --> 00:30:47,560 Speaker 3: So you've got this Kevin O'Leary proposing to monetize the 588 00:30:47,600 --> 00:30:50,880 Speaker 3: straight with a joint venture. And that's the kind of 589 00:30:50,920 --> 00:30:55,720 Speaker 3: thinking that makes you think, Okay, maybe a ceasefire is real, 590 00:30:55,960 --> 00:30:59,240 Speaker 3: it is doable, and it could be permanent because suddenly 591 00:30:59,280 --> 00:31:02,160 Speaker 3: you've got all signs it's profiting from ships that are 592 00:31:02,200 --> 00:31:05,400 Speaker 3: passing through instead of ships being blocked. 593 00:31:05,720 --> 00:31:08,640 Speaker 2: So make peace through money. 594 00:31:08,440 --> 00:31:10,880 Speaker 5: Yeah, make some money. And I always love Kevin O'Leary's 595 00:31:10,920 --> 00:31:14,040 Speaker 5: perspective because he is just an unabashed business man. He's like, 596 00:31:14,200 --> 00:31:16,480 Speaker 5: I don't care about Israel, I don't care about it Ran, 597 00:31:16,600 --> 00:31:18,720 Speaker 5: I don't care about any of these people. How are 598 00:31:18,800 --> 00:31:21,600 Speaker 5: we gonna make money off of this? And look, that's 599 00:31:21,640 --> 00:31:24,280 Speaker 5: not the best position. I'm not saying that that's, you know, 600 00:31:24,440 --> 00:31:27,520 Speaker 5: a good moral position to have, but it is interesting 601 00:31:27,560 --> 00:31:30,440 Speaker 5: to see a guy that comes from that position give 602 00:31:30,520 --> 00:31:32,880 Speaker 5: his perspective on this because he can cut through a 603 00:31:32,920 --> 00:31:34,760 Speaker 5: lot of the bs, a lot of the rhetoric, a 604 00:31:34,800 --> 00:31:36,600 Speaker 5: lot of the talk that goes out out there with 605 00:31:36,680 --> 00:31:40,120 Speaker 5: situations like this and say, look, here's the business argument 606 00:31:40,200 --> 00:31:42,720 Speaker 5: for this, and as we all know, when it comes 607 00:31:42,840 --> 00:31:46,920 Speaker 5: to how things move in this world, just follow the money, right, 608 00:31:47,000 --> 00:31:48,840 Speaker 5: follow follow the money, and if you can make more 609 00:31:48,960 --> 00:31:52,120 Speaker 5: money on doing something, things are likely going to move 610 00:31:52,120 --> 00:31:52,840 Speaker 5: in that direction. 611 00:31:53,160 --> 00:31:56,480 Speaker 2: You're listening to Casey and Jim. It is ninety three WYBC. 612 00:32:04,960 --> 00:32:08,160 Speaker 3: You've got NASA's Artemists two mission returning to Earth today 613 00:32:08,320 --> 00:32:12,960 Speaker 3: after their ten day lunar mission. The spacecraft ryan entering 614 00:32:13,040 --> 00:32:17,680 Speaker 3: the most critical phase re entry and then splash down. 615 00:32:17,680 --> 00:32:21,360 Speaker 2: You know, going to the Moon is hard, coming home possibly. 616 00:32:21,280 --> 00:32:25,720 Speaker 3: Even harder, twenty four thousand miles per hour through the 617 00:32:25,760 --> 00:32:30,280 Speaker 3: atmosphere at five thousand degrees. The crew that floated Natella 618 00:32:31,080 --> 00:32:35,280 Speaker 3: knows what they're doing these NASA has said there is 619 00:32:35,400 --> 00:32:36,080 Speaker 3: no plan B. 620 00:32:36,800 --> 00:32:41,840 Speaker 2: The crew knew this, they chose it, they signed up anyway. 621 00:32:42,400 --> 00:32:45,720 Speaker 3: That is what you can call heroism. The scariest part 622 00:32:45,720 --> 00:32:51,880 Speaker 3: about this is Artemis one. The heat shields cracked and 623 00:32:51,920 --> 00:32:55,719 Speaker 3: they didn't make any changes and they still went up 624 00:32:55,720 --> 00:32:58,560 Speaker 3: there anyway, knowing that the ship before. 625 00:32:58,320 --> 00:33:00,520 Speaker 2: The one they were on perform. 626 00:33:01,880 --> 00:33:04,600 Speaker 5: Yeah, this has been a big celebration up until this point. 627 00:33:04,640 --> 00:33:07,520 Speaker 5: We had the successful rocket launch, we had them going 628 00:33:07,520 --> 00:33:11,040 Speaker 5: around the Moon, traveling farther away from Earth than any 629 00:33:11,120 --> 00:33:14,520 Speaker 5: human has ever traveled before. We've got the prospect of 630 00:33:14,560 --> 00:33:18,040 Speaker 5: a moon landing, of putting people on the surface of 631 00:33:18,120 --> 00:33:21,320 Speaker 5: the Moon again, probably in twenty twenty eight. This has 632 00:33:21,360 --> 00:33:24,360 Speaker 5: been a big celebration, but the riskiest part of it 633 00:33:24,440 --> 00:33:27,320 Speaker 5: happens tonight. They're projecting that splash down will happened just 634 00:33:27,360 --> 00:33:30,440 Speaker 5: after eight o'clock this evening, just off the coast of 635 00:33:30,480 --> 00:33:33,600 Speaker 5: San Diego in the Pacific Ocean. And look, I remember 636 00:33:33,600 --> 00:33:37,600 Speaker 5: in two thousand and three when Columbia exploded. I remember 637 00:33:37,640 --> 00:33:39,920 Speaker 5: exactly where we were. We were at our old house 638 00:33:39,960 --> 00:33:42,600 Speaker 5: in northern Indiana, just outside of South Bend and saw 639 00:33:42,640 --> 00:33:44,720 Speaker 5: that and at that point in time, the problem with 640 00:33:45,120 --> 00:33:48,320 Speaker 5: Columbia at the time was the heat shield upon re entry. 641 00:33:48,440 --> 00:33:51,479 Speaker 5: So this is this is a tenuous time. Think about it. 642 00:33:51,560 --> 00:33:54,120 Speaker 5: Like the movie Apollo thirteen. At the end of that movie, 643 00:33:54,240 --> 00:33:56,440 Speaker 5: the space capsule had to come back to Earth and 644 00:33:56,480 --> 00:33:58,520 Speaker 5: they weren't sure if things were damaged, and it was 645 00:33:58,560 --> 00:34:02,200 Speaker 5: a very tense moment, a very moving part of that movie. 646 00:34:02,440 --> 00:34:05,080 Speaker 5: And then you saw those parachutes deploy and you saw 647 00:34:05,120 --> 00:34:07,400 Speaker 5: the capsule splash down, and that was kind of the 648 00:34:07,440 --> 00:34:10,919 Speaker 5: celebration in the movie Fingers Crossed. That that's the sort 649 00:34:10,960 --> 00:34:12,839 Speaker 5: of ending that we're going to be seeing to all 650 00:34:12,880 --> 00:34:14,719 Speaker 5: of this tonight. I know that you and I are 651 00:34:14,719 --> 00:34:16,960 Speaker 5: going to have our own little Space watch party tonight. 652 00:34:17,160 --> 00:34:17,720 Speaker 2: We will. 653 00:34:17,800 --> 00:34:19,799 Speaker 5: By the way, here's some ideas. I came up with 654 00:34:19,800 --> 00:34:21,560 Speaker 5: a list of things that we can eat during our 655 00:34:21,600 --> 00:34:27,279 Speaker 5: Space watch party.

And here's a freeze dried 661 00:34:36,920 --> 00:34:39,200 Speaker 5: ice cream, which we talked about earlier the week as well. 662 00:34:39,239 --> 00:34:43,840 Speaker 5: But here's some other things, Moon pies, blue Moon beer, 663 00:34:44,160 --> 00:34:47,480 Speaker 5: oh right, and then Saturn onion rings. 664 00:34:47,560 --> 00:34:47,719 Speaker 3: Ok. 665 00:34:48,040 --> 00:34:50,480 Speaker 5: So that's the menu at our house tonight as we 666 00:34:50,560 --> 00:34:53,960 Speaker 5: have our Space themed watch party to see the capsule 667 00:34:54,200 --> 00:34:57,279 Speaker 5: fingers Crossed safely return into the Pacific Ocean. 668 00:34:57,400 --> 00:35:01,399 Speaker 3: Really, nothing very healthy on our little watch party list. 669 00:35:01,719 --> 00:35:03,280 Speaker 2: Fine, guess who are together? 670 00:35:03,400 --> 00:35:06,279 Speaker 5: You know what? How much time I spent trying to 671 00:35:06,320 --> 00:35:10,120 Speaker 5: figure out which foods would be themed to Space. I 672 00:35:10,200 --> 00:35:12,400 Speaker 5: give you some great ideas and You're like, you know 673 00:35:12,440 --> 00:35:15,319 Speaker 5: what we should have instead, carrot sticks and celery. That's 674 00:35:15,360 --> 00:35:16,080 Speaker 5: what we should have. 675 00:35:16,120 --> 00:35:18,280 Speaker 2: Pop rocks too, aren't they kind of spacey? 676 00:35:18,400 --> 00:35:20,120 Speaker 5: Yeah, pop rocks, I would say it would be part 677 00:35:20,120 --> 00:35:22,439 Speaker 5: of it.
