Also in this first hour of 42 00:02:39,000 --> 00:02:42,120 Speaker 2: the show, we will dive into and I have a 43 00:02:42,120 --> 00:02:44,840 Speaker 2: few audio clips from Trump's addressed to the Nation last 44 00:02:44,919 --> 00:02:48,840 Speaker 2: night saying the US forces we'll finish the job, saying 45 00:02:48,880 --> 00:02:52,400 Speaker 2: that Iran is no longer a threat as the core 46 00:02:52,480 --> 00:02:58,359 Speaker 2: strategic objectives with Operation Epic Fury are nearing completion. Of course, 47 00:02:58,400 --> 00:03:01,440 Speaker 2: he defended the war and emphasizing the need to prevent 48 00:03:01,600 --> 00:03:07,880 Speaker 2: ran from obtaining nukes, criticizing the previous administration's policies, acknowledge 49 00:03:07,880 --> 00:03:10,960 Speaker 2: the rising oil prices and the financial markets, but assisted 50 00:03:11,000 --> 00:03:13,320 Speaker 2: that that would be temporary. So we'll dive into this 51 00:03:13,320 --> 00:03:16,520 Speaker 2: a little bit later on in the hour yesterday. Thankfully, 52 00:03:16,600 --> 00:03:19,840 Speaker 2: an answer to prayer Artemis, two astronauts are now bound 53 00:03:19,880 --> 00:03:24,160 Speaker 2: for the Moon after the successful launch of NASA's first 54 00:03:24,680 --> 00:03:28,240 Speaker 2: lunar voyage. In my lifetime going on some fifty four 55 00:03:28,400 --> 00:03:33,000 Speaker 2: years and decades, watched that yesterday and I was really moved. Man, 56 00:03:33,360 --> 00:03:37,480 Speaker 2: I forgot, well, I didn't forget, but in that moment, 57 00:03:39,000 --> 00:03:42,760 Speaker 2: the amount of anxiety and nervousness that I was feeling 58 00:03:43,760 --> 00:03:46,760 Speaker 2: clearly taking me back to the times when I watched 59 00:03:46,840 --> 00:03:51,200 Speaker 2: the Shuttle disasters unfold as a kid in the math 60 00:03:51,320 --> 00:03:55,200 Speaker 2: classroom with mister Blankinship, who was my math teacher at 61 00:03:55,200 --> 00:03:57,360 Speaker 2: the time at Arkadieo Christian School. I can still remember 62 00:03:57,400 --> 00:03:59,440 Speaker 2: the day when I watch that happen, and just as 63 00:03:59,440 --> 00:04:05,160 Speaker 2: a kid not understanding what I was seeing, is it unfolded. 64 00:04:06,520 --> 00:04:08,240 Speaker 2: The same thing with the shuttle that broke up. 65 00:04:08,120 --> 00:04:10,520 Speaker 1: On re entry. I remember when I was in Atlanta 66 00:04:10,560 --> 00:04:11,440 Speaker 1: when that took place. 67 00:04:11,480 --> 00:04:15,280 Speaker 2: So just incredibly yesterday was really nerve wracking, but just 68 00:04:15,880 --> 00:04:17,720 Speaker 2: so emotional. 69 00:04:17,720 --> 00:04:20,039 Speaker 1: I'm not gonna lie, I'm not crying. You're crying. It 70 00:04:20,120 --> 00:04:20,680 Speaker 1: was incredible. 71 00:04:20,760 --> 00:04:23,040 Speaker 2: We'll talk a little bit more about this later in 72 00:04:23,120 --> 00:04:25,000 Speaker 2: the show, probably the top of the of the eight 73 00:04:25,000 --> 00:04:29,440 Speaker 2: o'clock hour. Let's start here though, for a Thursday Minnesota 74 00:04:29,480 --> 00:04:33,160 Speaker 2: Reformer once again at the forefront of Republicans when they 75 00:04:33,160 --> 00:04:37,080 Speaker 2: go and make mistakes. In this case, Representative Walter Hudson. 76 00:04:37,920 --> 00:04:40,719 Speaker 2: According to an article from the Reformer, we'll face no 77 00:04:40,880 --> 00:04:44,359 Speaker 2: charges despite evidence that he was intoxicated while carrying his 78 00:04:44,440 --> 00:04:47,320 Speaker 2: handgun during a police encounter at two o'clock in the 79 00:04:47,320 --> 00:04:51,160 Speaker 2: morning on Friday. This is a great example of why 80 00:04:51,200 --> 00:04:53,720 Speaker 2: you should be compliant when with a law enforcement when 81 00:04:53,720 --> 00:04:58,400 Speaker 2: they're just doing their job. Don't make matters worse for yourself, 82 00:05:00,040 --> 00:05:04,080 Speaker 2: and the officer acknowledges this in the police report. Now, 83 00:05:04,120 --> 00:05:07,600 Speaker 2: they did confiscate Hudson's handgun after finding him compaired to 84 00:05:07,640 --> 00:05:10,800 Speaker 2: the vehicle of his fellow house member, Elliott Ingen, who 85 00:05:10,839 --> 00:05:12,640 Speaker 2: was arrested on suspicion of drunken driving. 86 00:05:13,080 --> 00:05:14,280 Speaker 1: White Bear Lake. 87 00:05:14,080 --> 00:05:17,599 Speaker 2: Police officers stopped at Ingen's truck early Friday morning arrested him. 88 00:05:18,720 --> 00:05:21,159 Speaker 2: Hudson was one of the two passengers in the car, 89 00:05:21,240 --> 00:05:23,680 Speaker 2: told officers at a bottle of alcohol sitting in a 90 00:05:23,760 --> 00:05:25,880 Speaker 2: child's car seat in the rear of the vehicle belonged 91 00:05:25,880 --> 00:05:28,760 Speaker 2: to him, and according to the incident report, Hudson handed 92 00:05:28,760 --> 00:05:31,200 Speaker 2: over his nine millimeters Smith and Wesson to police and 93 00:05:31,240 --> 00:05:33,640 Speaker 2: showed them as permit to carry. One of the officers 94 00:05:33,640 --> 00:05:35,840 Speaker 2: told Dispatch that the arned person in the vehicle, as 95 00:05:35,839 --> 00:05:39,120 Speaker 2: I was mentioning, was impaired, but more than comply it. 96 00:05:39,560 --> 00:05:42,960 Speaker 2: According to Dispatch audio, permit to carry holders as we 97 00:05:43,040 --> 00:05:45,640 Speaker 2: talked about earlier in that we can legally have a 98 00:05:45,680 --> 00:05:50,320 Speaker 2: blood alcohol concentration of zero of point zero four or 99 00:05:50,400 --> 00:05:53,839 Speaker 2: lower while carrying anything over that as a misdemeanor and 100 00:05:53,880 --> 00:05:57,560 Speaker 2: a mandatory suspension of the license. According to the Minnesota 101 00:05:57,560 --> 00:06:01,000 Speaker 2: District Court data, prosecutors filed more three hundred and seventy 102 00:06:01,000 --> 00:06:04,320 Speaker 2: five charges and twenty twenty five for carrying a firearm 103 00:06:04,400 --> 00:06:08,240 Speaker 2: while under the influence of alcohol. This piece made me laugh, 104 00:06:08,279 --> 00:06:11,520 Speaker 2: by the way, not surprising, but it's kind of studying 105 00:06:11,560 --> 00:06:15,719 Speaker 2: how quickly the leftist media brings in relevant context and 106 00:06:15,760 --> 00:06:19,640 Speaker 2: details whenever it's a perceived partisan issue that might go 107 00:06:19,680 --> 00:06:22,080 Speaker 2: and make Republicans look bad. There's a couple of different 108 00:06:22,080 --> 00:06:26,440 Speaker 2: instances in this piece where that happens, including this one. 109 00:06:26,480 --> 00:06:29,520 Speaker 2: There's one line in the article Hudson is known as 110 00:06:29,560 --> 00:06:33,240 Speaker 2: a law and order conservative. I don't recall that level 111 00:06:34,720 --> 00:06:42,360 Speaker 2: of potential offense specifics regarding background when dfllers do something stupid. 112 00:06:42,480 --> 00:06:46,320 Speaker 2: I could be wrong, but we've obviously covered dfllers doing 113 00:06:46,360 --> 00:06:50,240 Speaker 2: dumb things much more frequently than we have Republicans, and 114 00:06:50,279 --> 00:06:54,880 Speaker 2: I don't ever recall them talking about how they've gone 115 00:06:54,960 --> 00:07:00,880 Speaker 2: and conducted themselves politically relating to the alleged offenses. But again, 116 00:07:00,920 --> 00:07:03,320 Speaker 2: we're talking about the Minnesota Reformer. So none of this 117 00:07:03,880 --> 00:07:07,200 Speaker 2: is surprising whatsoever. There's a few other just quick details 118 00:07:07,240 --> 00:07:09,320 Speaker 2: I want to share with you coming up on Twin 119 00:07:09,360 --> 00:07:10,160 Speaker 2: Cities News Talk. 120 00:07:10,440 --> 00:07:12,160 Speaker 1: We'll go back a little bit to. 121 00:07:12,240 --> 00:07:15,520 Speaker 2: Tuesday this week as we get into Trump's speech. I 122 00:07:15,560 --> 00:07:19,120 Speaker 2: have some audio from Pete Hegseth that I wanted to 123 00:07:19,200 --> 00:07:23,880 Speaker 2: share talking about those who support President Donald Trump but 124 00:07:23,920 --> 00:07:26,840 Speaker 2: are worried about the Iran war. So we'll get into that, 125 00:07:26,920 --> 00:07:29,960 Speaker 2: and then we'll dive into Trump's comments last night as 126 00:07:29,960 --> 00:07:31,920 Speaker 2: he addressed the nation, and as always a new want 127 00:07:31,920 --> 00:07:34,040 Speaker 2: to hear from you.

I was so annoyed 140 00:08:23,520 --> 00:08:26,680 Speaker 2: because the world that we live in currently, it is 141 00:08:26,920 --> 00:08:28,000 Speaker 2: really tough. 142 00:08:29,400 --> 00:08:32,080 Speaker 1: To go and differentiate between. 143 00:08:33,160 --> 00:08:36,280 Speaker 2: You know, reality and people just playing practical jokes. 144 00:08:38,040 --> 00:08:40,760 Speaker 1: Any random day, as I'm pulling audio. 145 00:08:42,640 --> 00:08:47,480 Speaker 2: From the social media platform, you would have been years past, 146 00:08:47,640 --> 00:08:50,040 Speaker 2: like five years ago, thought well, it's all the April 147 00:08:50,080 --> 00:08:51,120 Speaker 2: Fol's Day because none of this. 148 00:08:51,080 --> 00:08:52,240 Speaker 1: Can be true. 149 00:08:54,480 --> 00:08:59,560 Speaker 2: So just so incredibly frustrating yesterday got my family a 150 00:08:59,559 --> 00:09:01,520 Speaker 2: lot to it at one point, and I still don't 151 00:09:01,559 --> 00:09:03,120 Speaker 2: even know this is the case or not. But there 152 00:09:03,160 --> 00:09:07,120 Speaker 2: was a post there's an over four hour cut of 153 00:09:07,120 --> 00:09:10,160 Speaker 2: Project Hail Mary. The directors said that they screened for 154 00:09:10,240 --> 00:09:14,280 Speaker 2: their friends. It was one of the early assembly cuts 155 00:09:14,320 --> 00:09:17,320 Speaker 2: of the film. So they were saying how embarrassed they 156 00:09:17,360 --> 00:09:20,480 Speaker 2: were because it was so long, and obviously the other 157 00:09:20,559 --> 00:09:23,720 Speaker 2: directors that they brought in to watch the movie, speaking 158 00:09:23,760 --> 00:09:27,679 Speaker 2: of going to space, had told them, yeah, you really. 159 00:09:27,480 --> 00:09:28,240 Speaker 1: Need to trim it back. 160 00:09:28,280 --> 00:09:30,320 Speaker 2: Well, there was a post yesterday and it was like, 161 00:09:30,400 --> 00:09:34,840 Speaker 2: when Project Hail Mary is done with this theatrical run 162 00:09:35,040 --> 00:09:38,640 Speaker 2: and it hits Amazon, because that's who ended up creating, 163 00:09:38,640 --> 00:09:41,560 Speaker 2: that's the studio behind it, would be Amazon Amazon Films. 164 00:09:42,200 --> 00:09:45,280 Speaker 2: They're going to release the four and a half hour 165 00:09:45,360 --> 00:09:48,800 Speaker 2: cut along with the regular cut, right, which has people 166 00:09:48,840 --> 00:09:51,360 Speaker 2: like me excited because I just absolutely love that movie. 167 00:09:52,160 --> 00:09:57,599 Speaker 2: Fairly certain it was April Fools stage joke.

We'll get to those in 173 00:10:14,600 --> 00:10:17,880 Speaker 2: just a moment. As I mentioned a few more points 174 00:10:18,000 --> 00:10:21,360 Speaker 2: from this Minnesota Reformer article, Representative Walter Hudson won't be 175 00:10:21,480 --> 00:10:25,280 Speaker 2: charged for carrying a firearm while impaired. Rob Door, friend 176 00:10:25,320 --> 00:10:28,760 Speaker 2: of the show, general counsel for the Minnesota Gun Owner's Caucus, 177 00:10:29,559 --> 00:10:32,760 Speaker 2: said most to permit to carry instructors teach people to 178 00:10:32,800 --> 00:10:37,320 Speaker 2: refrain from consuming any intoxicating substances while carrying a firearm. 179 00:10:37,320 --> 00:10:37,800 Speaker 1: Obviously. 180 00:10:38,400 --> 00:10:40,840 Speaker 2: Door went on to say, most instructors I know don't 181 00:10:40,920 --> 00:10:45,400 Speaker 2: encourage people to test the limit of the point zero 182 00:10:45,520 --> 00:10:49,160 Speaker 2: four BAC. They say to keep those activities completely separate. 183 00:10:49,760 --> 00:10:52,320 Speaker 2: Regarding the bottle that was sitting in the child's car 184 00:10:52,480 --> 00:10:56,120 Speaker 2: seat that Hudson said belonged to him, the police officer 185 00:10:56,760 --> 00:11:00,120 Speaker 2: said he did not know whether it was opened. The 186 00:11:00,200 --> 00:11:02,960 Speaker 2: law prohibits obviously open containers of alcohol in the car. 187 00:11:03,240 --> 00:11:05,880 Speaker 2: Second passenger was not named in the police report because 188 00:11:05,920 --> 00:11:08,400 Speaker 2: the officers saw no indication he was committing a crime, 189 00:11:08,960 --> 00:11:13,160 Speaker 2: so they did not take his id information. He confirmed 190 00:11:13,240 --> 00:11:16,959 Speaker 2: that the other passenger was a man, and I can 191 00:11:17,000 --> 00:11:20,640 Speaker 2: say with somewhat level of confidence from what I've been told, 192 00:11:20,679 --> 00:11:23,959 Speaker 2: that this is not an individual who is serving in 193 00:11:24,000 --> 00:11:27,079 Speaker 2: any sort of position of power. May have just been 194 00:11:27,080 --> 00:11:29,800 Speaker 2: a friend of one of one of the two, either 195 00:11:30,080 --> 00:11:33,760 Speaker 2: Elliott or Walter. The officer denied that Hudson was given 196 00:11:33,800 --> 00:11:38,040 Speaker 2: any special treatment because of his status as a state lawmaker. Hudson, 197 00:11:38,080 --> 00:11:40,640 Speaker 2: of course, sits on the Public Safety and Finance Policy Committee. 198 00:11:40,679 --> 00:11:41,840 Speaker 1: I'll get back to that in just a moment. 199 00:11:42,880 --> 00:11:45,720 Speaker 2: The officer said he backs his officers and believes they 200 00:11:45,720 --> 00:11:48,520 Speaker 2: did nothing wrong in refraining from issuing charges for the citation. 201 00:11:48,960 --> 00:11:52,080 Speaker 2: I backed the officer's decision because they had discretion and 202 00:11:52,120 --> 00:11:56,600 Speaker 2: they were doing their jobs exactly. That's what law enforcement 203 00:11:56,679 --> 00:11:58,920 Speaker 2: officers do, and this is how things should go down. 204 00:12:00,080 --> 00:12:03,160 Speaker 2: Don't challenge them, get out ahead of it, don't try 205 00:12:03,160 --> 00:12:06,080 Speaker 2: to hide your mistake. I mean, that was a big 206 00:12:06,120 --> 00:12:09,080 Speaker 2: mistake on Elli and Ingen's part, in my opinion, saying 207 00:12:09,120 --> 00:12:12,480 Speaker 2: that he was sober cabbing when he was clearly intoxicated. 208 00:12:12,520 --> 00:12:14,440 Speaker 2: But a good move on Walter Hudson's part and one 209 00:12:14,480 --> 00:12:17,200 Speaker 2: that doesn't surprise me. This is exactly how I would 210 00:12:17,240 --> 00:12:19,800 Speaker 2: have expected Walter to go and act in a situation 211 00:12:19,920 --> 00:12:23,800 Speaker 2: like that. Just own up to it. Look, Conservatives are 212 00:12:23,800 --> 00:12:24,959 Speaker 2: a forgiving group, and. 213 00:12:24,920 --> 00:12:25,560 Speaker 1: This should be. 214 00:12:27,080 --> 00:12:30,000 Speaker 2: Huts' is not facing any additional charges, and with the 215 00:12:30,000 --> 00:12:32,520 Speaker 2: spring break in the legislature right now, I imagine the 216 00:12:32,559 --> 00:12:34,920 Speaker 2: issue was for the most part behind him, although he 217 00:12:35,040 --> 00:12:38,400 Speaker 2: will be in my opinion, less effective now as a 218 00:12:38,440 --> 00:12:42,600 Speaker 2: conservative law and order advocate, especially with his role on 219 00:12:42,640 --> 00:12:46,640 Speaker 2: the Public Safety, Finance and Policy Committee. But again, conservatives 220 00:12:46,640 --> 00:12:49,920 Speaker 2: are also very forgiving and no better than to throw 221 00:12:49,960 --> 00:12:53,320 Speaker 2: the baby out with the bathwater. It's just unfortunate that 222 00:12:53,360 --> 00:12:56,400 Speaker 2: there will be he will be less effective in that 223 00:12:56,520 --> 00:12:59,120 Speaker 2: role in which he had been so strong in the past. 224 00:13:00,200 --> 00:13:05,480 Speaker 2: Can you know he's got a shorter term, rougher road 225 00:13:05,520 --> 00:13:08,320 Speaker 2: ahead of him. I am confident though, that if he 226 00:13:08,360 --> 00:13:11,920 Speaker 2: stays in politics, especially here in Minnesota, he'll eventually be 227 00:13:12,000 --> 00:13:16,240 Speaker 2: able to move on from this too. There's plenty of individuals, 228 00:13:16,320 --> 00:13:19,520 Speaker 2: in my opinion, too many individuals who have been busted 229 00:13:19,559 --> 00:13:22,240 Speaker 2: for DWY in the past that have gone on to 230 00:13:22,280 --> 00:13:25,600 Speaker 2: serve in politics. Not to say you shouldn't be able 231 00:13:25,640 --> 00:13:27,520 Speaker 2: to serve if you've been busted by this, and that 232 00:13:27,640 --> 00:13:28,479 Speaker 2: is to say. 233 00:13:28,280 --> 00:13:30,000 Speaker 1: You shouldn't have done the mistake in the first place. 234 00:13:30,160 --> 00:13:30,760 Speaker 1: That's all. 235 00:13:33,280 --> 00:13:35,280 Speaker 2: All right, let's get to some of your thoughts. Artemis 236 00:13:35,360 --> 00:13:37,600 Speaker 2: two's launched yesterday again. We're going to dive into this 237 00:13:37,679 --> 00:13:40,959 Speaker 2: a little bit more detail coming up just after eight 238 00:13:40,960 --> 00:13:43,839 Speaker 2: o'clock this morning, at least that is my plan. But 239 00:13:43,880 --> 00:13:46,960 Speaker 2: several of you are getting your talkback comments in early 240 00:13:47,040 --> 00:13:49,520 Speaker 2: to the iHeartRadio app brought to you by Lyndall Realty. 241 00:13:50,679 --> 00:13:55,479 Speaker 3: Yeah, mister Justice, I cannot agree more about. Watching the 242 00:13:55,600 --> 00:13:59,280 Speaker 3: Artemis to launch yesterday took me back to fourth grade. 243 00:14:01,320 --> 00:14:04,240 Speaker 3: I mean absolutely, all the memories, all the anxieties, seeing 244 00:14:04,280 --> 00:14:07,960 Speaker 3: the Challenger split into and just seeing this one not dood. 245 00:14:08,800 --> 00:14:12,000 Speaker 1: It was pretty sweet. It was pretty sweet. Yeah, I 246 00:14:12,080 --> 00:14:12,880 Speaker 1: was having a moment. 247 00:14:13,840 --> 00:14:16,920 Speaker 2: You know, my son Logan, we all are, all of us, 248 00:14:17,200 --> 00:14:21,680 Speaker 2: the whole household was watching this. It was funny because Kyle, 249 00:14:21,760 --> 00:14:26,000 Speaker 2: my youngest, I think, was a little disinterested and was 250 00:14:26,040 --> 00:14:28,880 Speaker 2: planning on doing some other things around the house when 251 00:14:28,880 --> 00:14:32,239 Speaker 2: this happened. But once we got into the ten minute countdown, 252 00:14:33,040 --> 00:14:35,600 Speaker 2: he was locked in like the rest of us were, 253 00:14:36,000 --> 00:14:40,440 Speaker 2: and I imagine at the rest of the house was 254 00:14:40,560 --> 00:14:44,760 Speaker 2: wondering why I looked so stressed out, because I was. 255 00:14:45,160 --> 00:14:46,800 Speaker 1: I was really really stressed. 256 00:14:47,480 --> 00:14:51,680 Speaker 2: We all watch, especially with Logan, because Logan's just so 257 00:14:51,840 --> 00:14:55,040 Speaker 2: heavily into this. This is just this is his jam, 258 00:14:55,320 --> 00:14:57,160 Speaker 2: and you do not talk, you do not speak, You 259 00:14:57,240 --> 00:14:59,360 Speaker 2: just let the things play. It's just gets total silence 260 00:14:59,360 --> 00:15:03,000 Speaker 2: while we watched, Right, I knew exactly where he wanted 261 00:15:03,040 --> 00:15:05,040 Speaker 2: to watch it. You wanted it up at a certain volume, 262 00:15:05,200 --> 00:15:06,360 Speaker 2: wanted the lights dimmed. 263 00:15:07,200 --> 00:15:08,760 Speaker 1: He used a one hundred percent my son. 264 00:15:10,880 --> 00:15:15,160 Speaker 2: But once the engines were fired, Yeah, it hit me 265 00:15:15,280 --> 00:15:17,800 Speaker 2: like a ton of bricks. Because we watch all the 266 00:15:17,840 --> 00:15:21,120 Speaker 2: SpaceX launches but there's no humans on board. You still 267 00:15:21,160 --> 00:15:24,720 Speaker 2: want to see them be successful. But the intention is 268 00:15:24,760 --> 00:15:28,520 Speaker 2: to go and blow these ships up to test just 269 00:15:28,760 --> 00:15:30,800 Speaker 2: how far they can push the limits in terms of 270 00:15:30,800 --> 00:15:34,240 Speaker 2: the technology and the power behind the vehicle itself. But 271 00:15:34,360 --> 00:15:38,520 Speaker 2: in this case, you've got bodies on board. And yeah, 272 00:15:38,640 --> 00:15:40,520 Speaker 2: I was sitting there tents. 273 00:15:42,200 --> 00:15:42,840 Speaker 1: Not gonna lie. 274 00:15:42,880 --> 00:15:48,080 Speaker 2: I had this white discharge and coming from my eyes 275 00:15:48,120 --> 00:15:51,240 Speaker 2: it was very it was very odd. 276 00:15:54,120 --> 00:15:54,960 Speaker 4: Good party chance. 277 00:15:56,760 --> 00:15:58,720 Speaker 2: I'm gonna stop that right there. It sounds like she's 278 00:15:58,760 --> 00:16:07,640 Speaker 2: actually on the rocket. Either that or she's leaving a 279 00:16:07,720 --> 00:16:11,320 Speaker 2: talk back with the top down on the car. She said, 280 00:16:11,400 --> 00:16:14,320 Speaker 2: I'm calling you from the road, just driving back. I 281 00:16:14,360 --> 00:16:17,960 Speaker 2: assume the transcript here is wonky, but from Kennedy. Watch 282 00:16:18,040 --> 00:16:20,840 Speaker 2: the launch of Artemis two in honor of your pet, 283 00:16:20,920 --> 00:16:22,360 Speaker 2: my Artemis and your Artemis. 284 00:16:22,440 --> 00:16:24,920 Speaker 1: That's right, I love my Artemis. 285 00:16:27,280 --> 00:16:28,760 Speaker 5: Good morning, John Rick and Virginia. 286 00:16:28,760 --> 00:16:31,320 Speaker 1: And I too was thrilled to see Artemis to blast off. 287 00:16:31,360 --> 00:16:32,680 Speaker 1: If you were a painted white and. 288 00:16:32,680 --> 00:16:34,840 Speaker 6: Take off the side rockets, it just looked like all 289 00:16:34,880 --> 00:16:37,280 Speaker 6: the Apollo ships that blasted off from. 290 00:16:37,160 --> 00:16:39,000 Speaker 1: Cape ganapl I don't think it was. 291 00:16:39,000 --> 00:16:40,920 Speaker 7: An accident that Trump gave his speech in the same 292 00:16:40,960 --> 00:16:43,480 Speaker 7: day that Artemis too blasted off. 293 00:16:43,520 --> 00:16:46,480 Speaker 6: That was the largest and is the largest rocket ever 294 00:16:46,520 --> 00:16:49,880 Speaker 6: to blast off with humans, and it is very impressive. 295 00:16:50,840 --> 00:16:53,080 Speaker 1: It's the biggest. You better watch the step to China, 296 00:16:53,160 --> 00:16:54,520 Speaker 1: Russian and all the other nations. 297 00:16:54,640 --> 00:16:55,600 Speaker 6: God bless America. 298 00:16:57,040 --> 00:16:57,840 Speaker 1: Thank you for that. 299 00:16:57,920 --> 00:17:01,320 Speaker 2: And again I have some really some really interesting audio, 300 00:17:01,440 --> 00:17:05,239 Speaker 2: compelling audio from a retired astronaut in the lead up 301 00:17:05,240 --> 00:17:08,560 Speaker 2: to the launch that I'll share later on later on 302 00:17:08,720 --> 00:17:09,160 Speaker 2: the show. 303 00:17:09,359 --> 00:17:10,600 Speaker 1: In the show Coming Up. 304 00:17:11,240 --> 00:17:15,159 Speaker 2: Pete Hegseth earlier this week had words for Trump's supporters 305 00:17:15,200 --> 00:17:17,680 Speaker 2: worried about the Iran war.

I'll reserve 314 00:18:02,680 --> 00:18:05,000 Speaker 6: my excitement for when the mission is accomplished and we 315 00:18:05,040 --> 00:18:07,920 Speaker 6: actually start doing something with it.

They're in space right now. 319 00:18:14,600 --> 00:18:17,560 Speaker 2: They're circling the planet on their way to the mood 320 00:18:17,600 --> 00:18:19,720 Speaker 2: and something we haven't done in over fifty years. 321 00:18:19,760 --> 00:18:22,120 Speaker 1: The harder not to suck. 322 00:18:24,200 --> 00:18:27,920 Speaker 2: This one doesn't apply to you, clearly. 323 00:18:28,040 --> 00:18:32,159 Speaker 1: I'm an optimistic person.

You can leave 347 00:19:51,480 --> 00:19:53,800 Speaker 2: a talkback to I'll do my best to save those 348 00:19:53,800 --> 00:19:56,159 Speaker 2: for when Dan joins us in studio at seven thirty 349 00:19:56,480 --> 00:19:58,879 Speaker 2: earlier in the week ahead of Trump's Addressed in the 350 00:19:58,960 --> 00:20:02,680 Speaker 2: Nation last night, Secretary of War Pete Hegseth laid down 351 00:20:02,720 --> 00:20:06,760 Speaker 2: the law for members of President Donald Trump's base who 352 00:20:06,840 --> 00:20:11,080 Speaker 2: want more clarity on the war in Iran. Again, this 353 00:20:11,280 --> 00:20:13,520 Speaker 2: was on Tuesday earlier this week. 354 00:20:13,840 --> 00:20:15,560 Speaker 4: Without asking you to comment on things that you can't 355 00:20:15,600 --> 00:20:18,880 Speaker 4: talk about, what is your message to Americans who love 356 00:20:18,960 --> 00:20:21,680 Speaker 4: the president and strongly believe in him, but are very 357 00:20:21,720 --> 00:20:24,080 Speaker 4: worried about this notion of boots on the ground. 358 00:20:24,160 --> 00:20:28,040 Speaker 8: As far as President Trump and boots on the ground, 359 00:20:28,720 --> 00:20:29,960 Speaker 8: I don't understand. 360 00:20:29,560 --> 00:20:31,440 Speaker 1: Why the base, which they have already they. 361 00:20:31,359 --> 00:20:34,639 Speaker 8: Understand, wouldn't have faith in his ability to execute on this. 362 00:20:34,680 --> 00:20:38,120 Speaker 8: Look at his track record of pursuing peace through strength 363 00:20:38,400 --> 00:20:43,000 Speaker 8: America first outcomes what he's simply saying and is exactly true. 364 00:20:43,000 --> 00:20:44,680 Speaker 8: And I've said from this podium. 365 00:20:44,320 --> 00:20:46,280 Speaker 2: Too, We're not going to foreclose any option. 366 00:20:47,000 --> 00:20:49,600 Speaker 8: You can't fight and win a war if you tell 367 00:20:49,640 --> 00:20:51,760 Speaker 8: your adversary what you are willing to do or what 368 00:20:51,800 --> 00:20:54,000 Speaker 8: you are not willing to do to include boots on 369 00:20:54,040 --> 00:20:58,240 Speaker 8: the ground. Our adversary right now thinks there are fifteen 370 00:20:58,280 --> 00:20:58,960 Speaker 8: different ways we. 371 00:20:58,880 --> 00:21:00,840 Speaker 1: Could come at them with boots on them, and guess 372 00:21:00,840 --> 00:21:01,600 Speaker 1: what there are. 373 00:21:02,359 --> 00:21:05,000 Speaker 8: So if we needed to, we could execute those options 374 00:21:05,040 --> 00:21:07,159 Speaker 8: on behalf of the President of the United States and 375 00:21:07,240 --> 00:21:09,840 Speaker 8: this department, or maybe we don't have to use them 376 00:21:09,840 --> 00:21:13,440 Speaker 8: at all, maybe negotiations work, or maybe there's a different approach. 377 00:21:13,640 --> 00:21:14,520 Speaker 1: But the point is to. 378 00:21:14,480 --> 00:21:17,399 Speaker 8: Be unpredictable in that certainly not let anybody know what 379 00:21:17,440 --> 00:21:19,840 Speaker 8: you're willing to do or not do. But if anybody 380 00:21:19,840 --> 00:21:23,399 Speaker 8: has internalized the lessons of Iraq and Afghanistan as the 381 00:21:23,440 --> 00:21:25,480 Speaker 8: first one President Trump to call them out for what 382 00:21:25,560 --> 00:21:27,800 Speaker 8: they are, he's not going to repeat those lessons. 383 00:21:27,800 --> 00:21:29,600 Speaker 1: And I think I've been very clear about that from 384 00:21:29,600 --> 00:21:30,200 Speaker 1: the podium. 385 00:21:30,359 --> 00:21:33,280 Speaker 2: While the support for the war itself does remain strong, 386 00:21:33,880 --> 00:21:37,520 Speaker 2: as does support among MAGA for Trump pauling does show 387 00:21:37,600 --> 00:21:42,600 Speaker 2: broad backing among Trump voters for strikes targeting Iran's military infrastructure, 388 00:21:42,720 --> 00:21:46,040 Speaker 2: support does drop off sharply when it comes to sending 389 00:21:46,040 --> 00:21:50,160 Speaker 2: in ground troops. Recent survey shows a majority of Republicans 390 00:21:50,200 --> 00:21:53,720 Speaker 2: and even a larger share of the broader electorate opposed 391 00:21:53,720 --> 00:21:57,320 Speaker 2: deploying US troops, with roughly half of Republicans and nearly 392 00:21:57,359 --> 00:21:59,960 Speaker 2: three quarters of all voters against the boots on the ground, 393 00:22:00,359 --> 00:22:05,679 Speaker 2: and conventionally speaking, I would be against the boots on 394 00:22:05,720 --> 00:22:09,120 Speaker 2: the ground aspect of it. But there's nuance to this. 395 00:22:10,720 --> 00:22:14,000 Speaker 2: You know, a full fledged invasion would be one thing, 396 00:22:15,200 --> 00:22:21,040 Speaker 2: bringing in specialized forces, and in this case with what 397 00:22:21,400 --> 00:22:25,160 Speaker 2: Donald Trump mentioned yesterday during the speech of being able 398 00:22:25,200 --> 00:22:30,280 Speaker 2: to go and capture the uranium, which would require technically speaking, 399 00:22:30,320 --> 00:22:32,240 Speaker 2: boots on the ground doing nothing with my fingers, but 400 00:22:32,280 --> 00:22:36,800 Speaker 2: really what we're talking about are selective specialized ground forces 401 00:22:36,840 --> 00:22:40,159 Speaker 2: to go and carry these missions out. I am in 402 00:22:40,240 --> 00:22:44,680 Speaker 2: supportive leading to a conclusion of the mission. I get 403 00:22:44,720 --> 00:22:47,280 Speaker 2: frustrated when we end up with these blanket statements of 404 00:22:47,280 --> 00:22:50,880 Speaker 2: boots on the ground when it just is never that simple. 405 00:22:51,880 --> 00:22:53,720 Speaker 2: And for me personally, I won't speak for you, but 406 00:22:53,800 --> 00:22:57,639 Speaker 2: for me, again, there are varying degrees in terms of 407 00:22:57,640 --> 00:23:01,440 Speaker 2: my level of support of the operations and bringing in 408 00:23:01,600 --> 00:23:05,679 Speaker 2: men and women to Iran, which technically falls under that 409 00:23:05,720 --> 00:23:08,119 Speaker 2: boots on the ground category, but it's also part of 410 00:23:08,160 --> 00:23:10,120 Speaker 2: the reason why I believe the President Donald Trump gave 411 00:23:10,160 --> 00:23:12,879 Speaker 2: the speech last night in the first place, was to 412 00:23:12,920 --> 00:23:17,040 Speaker 2: hopefully go and quell any concerns that may be growing 413 00:23:17,080 --> 00:23:22,600 Speaker 2: among his supporters. It was the first national address on 414 00:23:22,680 --> 00:23:25,480 Speaker 2: the conflict in Iran since it began. Trump stated that 415 00:23:25,480 --> 00:23:29,040 Speaker 2: the US forces will finish the job, claiming the core 416 00:23:29,080 --> 00:23:33,199 Speaker 2: strategic objectives nearing completion. He got a wide audience and 417 00:23:33,240 --> 00:23:38,480 Speaker 2: a chance to articulate those objectives. According to the article 418 00:23:38,480 --> 00:23:41,639 Speaker 2: from Newsmax, they say after weeks of changing goals and 419 00:23:41,680 --> 00:23:46,919 Speaker 2: often contradictory messages about whether he's winding down or ready 420 00:23:46,920 --> 00:23:50,479 Speaker 2: to escalate military operations, even as Iran kept up its 421 00:23:50,480 --> 00:23:55,119 Speaker 2: attacks on Israel and Persian Gulf neighbors and airstrikes pounded Tehran. 422 00:23:55,680 --> 00:23:58,920 Speaker 2: And while it's technically accurate to go and talk about 423 00:23:58,920 --> 00:24:03,040 Speaker 2: the changing of goals and contradictory messages, but that's also. 424 00:24:04,480 --> 00:24:05,800 Speaker 1: How fluid war is. 425 00:24:07,680 --> 00:24:10,440 Speaker 2: Looking at it rationally, you have to go, well, yeah, 426 00:24:11,119 --> 00:24:14,480 Speaker 2: it's not an excuse, but there's an understanding that there 427 00:24:14,520 --> 00:24:17,560 Speaker 2: are no certainties when you're engaging in operations like this, 428 00:24:17,640 --> 00:24:23,639 Speaker 2: and especially when you're dealing with such a heinous regime. 429 00:24:25,080 --> 00:24:26,320 Speaker 1: As one like Iran. 430 00:24:27,800 --> 00:24:32,200 Speaker 2: Trump acknowledge the rising oil prices and volatile financial markets, 431 00:24:32,200 --> 00:24:34,919 Speaker 2: but insisted again that those would be temporary. I have 432 00:24:34,920 --> 00:24:38,000 Speaker 2: a few clips from last night. We'll start off here 433 00:24:38,520 --> 00:24:43,639 Speaker 2: basically just summarizing the Iranian conflict really perfectly for those 434 00:24:43,680 --> 00:24:46,240 Speaker 2: that are concerned about it or those on the left 435 00:24:46,240 --> 00:24:47,840 Speaker 2: that aren't in support of it at all. 436 00:24:48,440 --> 00:24:54,439 Speaker 9: American involvement in World War One lasted one year, seven 437 00:24:54,480 --> 00:24:59,280 Speaker 9: months and five days. World War two lasted four three years, 438 00:24:59,280 --> 00:25:03,120 Speaker 9: eight months, twenty five days. The Korean War lasted for 439 00:25:03,160 --> 00:25:07,560 Speaker 9: three years, one month and two days. The Vietnam War 440 00:25:07,640 --> 00:25:11,919 Speaker 9: lasted for nineteen years, five months and twenty nine days. 441 00:25:12,840 --> 00:25:15,360 Speaker 1: Iraq went on for eight years. 442 00:25:15,119 --> 00:25:17,280 Speaker 7: Eight months and twenty eight days. 443 00:25:18,160 --> 00:25:22,000 Speaker 9: We are in this military operation, so powerful, so brilliant, 444 00:25:22,040 --> 00:25:26,719 Speaker 9: against one of the most powerful countries for thirty two days, 445 00:25:27,640 --> 00:25:32,720 Speaker 9: and the country has been eviscerated and essentially is really 446 00:25:32,760 --> 00:25:35,840 Speaker 9: no longer a threat. They were the belief the Middle East, 447 00:25:35,840 --> 00:25:39,080 Speaker 9: but they're the belief no longer. This is a true 448 00:25:39,119 --> 00:25:43,920 Speaker 9: investment in your children and your grandchildren's future. The whole 449 00:25:43,960 --> 00:25:47,680 Speaker 9: world is watching, and they can't leave the power, strength, 450 00:25:47,760 --> 00:25:52,000 Speaker 9: and brilliants that just can't believe what they're seeing. They 451 00:25:52,680 --> 00:25:55,520 Speaker 9: leave it to your imagination, but they can't believe what 452 00:25:55,560 --> 00:25:59,800 Speaker 9: they're seeing, the brilliance of the United States military. 453 00:26:00,280 --> 00:26:04,280 Speaker 2: And Trump not wasting the opportunity in this nationwide address 454 00:26:04,440 --> 00:26:08,800 Speaker 2: to pointing out what took place in the past, especially 455 00:26:08,920 --> 00:26:12,239 Speaker 2: with former presidents that you know liked to give her 456 00:26:12,320 --> 00:26:15,320 Speaker 2: on a lot of our money to try to keep 457 00:26:15,359 --> 00:26:17,640 Speaker 2: them from going and developing nuclear weapons. 458 00:26:17,920 --> 00:26:19,359 Speaker 1: Still be winning and winning big. 459 00:26:20,040 --> 00:26:23,639 Speaker 9: And then very importantly, I terminated Barack Hussein Obama is 460 00:26:23,680 --> 00:26:27,600 Speaker 9: a reand nuclear deal a disaster. Obama gave them one 461 00:26:27,600 --> 00:26:33,040 Speaker 9: point seven billion dollars in cash, green green cash, took 462 00:26:33,040 --> 00:26:37,000 Speaker 9: it out of banks from Virginia, DC, then Maryland. 463 00:26:37,119 --> 00:26:40,240 Speaker 1: All the cash they had. You flew it by. 464 00:26:40,080 --> 00:26:43,440 Speaker 9: Airplanes in an attempt to buy their respect and loyalty. 465 00:26:43,480 --> 00:26:44,359 Speaker 1: But it didn't work. 466 00:26:45,000 --> 00:26:47,560 Speaker 9: They laughed at our president and went on with their 467 00:26:47,880 --> 00:26:51,400 Speaker 9: mission to have a nuclear bomb. His Iran deal would 468 00:26:51,440 --> 00:26:55,679 Speaker 9: have led to a colossal arsenal, massive nuclear weapons for Iran, 469 00:26:55,760 --> 00:26:59,239 Speaker 9: and they would have had them years ago, and they 470 00:26:59,240 --> 00:27:02,600 Speaker 9: would have used would have been a different world. There 471 00:27:02,600 --> 00:27:05,480 Speaker 9: would have been no Middle East and no Israel right now, 472 00:27:05,520 --> 00:27:08,040 Speaker 9: in my opinion, the opinion of a lot of great experts. 473 00:27:10,200 --> 00:27:15,160 Speaker 2: The president, in comments during an Eastern lunch yesterday afternoon 474 00:27:15,200 --> 00:27:18,399 Speaker 2: instead of Iran, we could just take their oil. But 475 00:27:18,480 --> 00:27:20,000 Speaker 2: you know, I'm not sure that the people in our 476 00:27:20,040 --> 00:27:22,919 Speaker 2: country had the patients to do that, which is unfortunate. 477 00:27:22,960 --> 00:27:26,560 Speaker 2: In a social media post to earlier yesterday, Trump continued 478 00:27:26,600 --> 00:27:30,080 Speaker 2: to maintain a tough tone, demanding that Iran stop blocking 479 00:27:30,119 --> 00:27:33,359 Speaker 2: the Strait of our moves or the US would bomb 480 00:27:33,800 --> 00:27:37,320 Speaker 2: the Islamic Republic back to the Stone Ages. The US 481 00:27:37,440 --> 00:27:40,760 Speaker 2: has presented Iran with a fifteen point plan aimed at 482 00:27:40,760 --> 00:27:43,879 Speaker 2: bringing about a ceasefire, including a demand for the strait 483 00:27:44,040 --> 00:27:46,720 Speaker 2: to be reopened and for its nuclear program to be 484 00:27:48,000 --> 00:27:49,880 Speaker 2: rolled back. You know, there's one thing that the left 485 00:27:49,920 --> 00:27:54,679 Speaker 2: cannot criticize Trump over, and that is is consistency throughout 486 00:27:54,680 --> 00:27:57,560 Speaker 2: the years. We've shared clips before. I have another one 487 00:27:57,560 --> 00:27:59,000 Speaker 2: that I want to share with you. This one goes 488 00:27:59,040 --> 00:28:07,760 Speaker 2: back to forty years ago. Then just Donald Trump, long 489 00:28:07,800 --> 00:28:11,520 Speaker 2: before the president title right, talking about these very issues, 490 00:28:11,560 --> 00:28:14,199 Speaker 2: and he sounds just like he does, you know, and 491 00:28:14,280 --> 00:28:15,239 Speaker 2: just like he did last night. 492 00:28:15,720 --> 00:28:19,040 Speaker 7: Next time Iran attacks this country, go in and grab 493 00:28:19,600 --> 00:28:22,040 Speaker 7: one of their big oil installations, and I mean grab 494 00:28:22,080 --> 00:28:24,520 Speaker 7: it and keep it and get back your losses. Why 495 00:28:24,520 --> 00:28:27,120 Speaker 7: couldn't we go in and take over some of their 496 00:28:27,160 --> 00:28:28,960 Speaker 7: oil which is along the sea. 497 00:28:29,119 --> 00:28:29,800 Speaker 1: How would you do that? 498 00:28:29,800 --> 00:28:30,919 Speaker 6: Would you send in the Marines? 499 00:28:30,960 --> 00:28:32,040 Speaker 1: Would you take a chance in the. 500 00:28:32,080 --> 00:28:35,480 Speaker 7: War, Let them have Iran? You take their royal That's what? 501 00:28:35,720 --> 00:28:37,840 Speaker 1: How? How I mean do we want a war? What 502 00:28:37,920 --> 00:28:38,680 Speaker 1: do we take? 503 00:28:38,720 --> 00:28:38,840 Speaker 4: There? 504 00:28:38,920 --> 00:28:39,680 Speaker 1: Are you go in? 505 00:28:40,320 --> 00:28:42,280 Speaker 7: We go in? You're going to have a war by 506 00:28:42,320 --> 00:28:44,280 Speaker 7: being weak? Okay, how do we go in? 507 00:28:44,400 --> 00:28:44,880 Speaker 4: What do we? 508 00:28:44,920 --> 00:28:45,440 Speaker 1: Excuse me? 509 00:28:45,680 --> 00:28:48,200 Speaker 7: You're going to have a war and it's going to 510 00:28:48,200 --> 00:28:49,160 Speaker 7: start in the Middle East. 511 00:28:49,280 --> 00:28:51,640 Speaker 1: What if the Soviet Union said you do this to Iran, 512 00:28:51,720 --> 00:28:52,360 Speaker 1: We're gonna come in. 513 00:28:52,480 --> 00:28:55,000 Speaker 7: I don't believe they'd do it. The next time Iran 514 00:28:55,040 --> 00:28:58,440 Speaker 7: attacks this country, go in and grab one of their 515 00:28:58,480 --> 00:29:00,760 Speaker 7: big oil installations, and I mean, and grab it and 516 00:29:00,840 --> 00:29:04,000 Speaker 7: keep it and get back your losses. Make our allies 517 00:29:04,040 --> 00:29:06,040 Speaker 7: forgetting about the enemies, the enemies you can't talk to 518 00:29:06,120 --> 00:29:08,760 Speaker 7: so easily. I'd make our allies pay their fair share. 519 00:29:09,000 --> 00:29:11,360 Speaker 7: We're a debtor nation. Something's going to happen over the 520 00:29:11,400 --> 00:29:13,280 Speaker 7: next number of years with this country because you can't 521 00:29:13,320 --> 00:29:15,720 Speaker 7: keep going on losing two hundred billion, and yet we 522 00:29:16,120 --> 00:29:18,200 Speaker 7: let your pan come in and dump everything right into 523 00:29:18,240 --> 00:29:18,760 Speaker 7: our markets. 524 00:29:18,800 --> 00:29:21,480 Speaker 1: And he hasn't changed. 525 00:29:22,320 --> 00:29:24,160 Speaker 2: Again, it's the one thing that lets I mean they do, 526 00:29:24,400 --> 00:29:30,280 Speaker 2: they'll misunderstand, but those complaints absolutely fall short. He's maintained 527 00:29:30,280 --> 00:29:34,880 Speaker 2: his consistency on so many different issues, including the issues 528 00:29:34,920 --> 00:29:37,880 Speaker 2: regarding her on which is something you cannot say for Democrats. 529 00:29:37,920 --> 00:29:39,920 Speaker 1: Case in point. 530 00:29:39,960 --> 00:29:45,160 Speaker 2: This clip is from Bernie Sanders, off topic from the 531 00:29:45,200 --> 00:29:48,200 Speaker 2: war in Iran and what we're going to talk about next, 532 00:29:48,360 --> 00:29:53,400 Speaker 2: but you know, still relevant when comparing the consistency of 533 00:29:53,440 --> 00:29:58,320 Speaker 2: President Donald Trump versus the lack of consistency relating to Democrats. 534 00:29:58,360 --> 00:30:02,640 Speaker 2: And we've shared plenty of clips of the Clintons and Obama, 535 00:30:02,840 --> 00:30:06,160 Speaker 2: Schumer and others on the issue of immigration that it 536 00:30:06,240 --> 00:30:09,360 Speaker 2: used to all sound like Republicans do. Now here's Bernie 537 00:30:09,400 --> 00:30:13,239 Speaker 2: Sanders again twenty fifteen. This is an individual now that 538 00:30:13,360 --> 00:30:16,800 Speaker 2: completely opposes the deportation efforts of President Donald Trump. 539 00:30:17,520 --> 00:30:19,280 Speaker 1: But listen to what he had to say over a 540 00:30:19,280 --> 00:30:20,440 Speaker 1: decade ago in. 541 00:30:20,520 --> 00:30:22,360 Speaker 10: Co open Blood, coarnade, open Boss. 542 00:30:22,480 --> 00:30:24,880 Speaker 1: That's a coke on this proposal, the idea. 543 00:30:25,280 --> 00:30:25,640 Speaker 11: Of course. 544 00:30:25,760 --> 00:30:27,720 Speaker 2: At the beginning of the clip, I'll replay it. He 545 00:30:27,800 --> 00:30:32,200 Speaker 2: talks about open borders, you know, complaints of open borders, 546 00:30:32,240 --> 00:30:34,440 Speaker 2: and what does he say he says, you know, that's 547 00:30:34,440 --> 00:30:39,920 Speaker 2: a Cooke Brothers proposal, a conservative proposal. Open borders is 548 00:30:40,800 --> 00:30:42,520 Speaker 2: twenty fifteen Bernie Sanders Inc. 549 00:30:42,520 --> 00:30:45,800 Speaker 1: Opencarnade, open boss. That's a Coke on this proposal. 550 00:30:46,320 --> 00:30:49,000 Speaker 10: The idea, of course, I mean that's a right wing 551 00:30:49,120 --> 00:30:53,560 Speaker 10: proposal which says, essentially, there is no United States, but anybody. 552 00:30:53,680 --> 00:30:56,000 Speaker 1: Macuse the global poor Richard, What isn't it kind. 553 00:30:55,880 --> 00:30:57,960 Speaker 10: Of make everybody in American port that you're doing away 554 00:30:58,000 --> 00:31:00,760 Speaker 10: with with the concept of the nation's stuf. And I 555 00:31:00,800 --> 00:31:04,000 Speaker 10: don't think there's any country in the world which believes 556 00:31:04,240 --> 00:31:08,800 Speaker 10: in that. If you believe in a nation state, or 557 00:31:08,840 --> 00:31:11,120 Speaker 10: in a country called the United States or UK again 558 00:31:11,160 --> 00:31:14,360 Speaker 10: mark them any other country, you have an obligation, in 559 00:31:14,360 --> 00:31:17,080 Speaker 10: my view, to do everything we can to help poor people. 560 00:31:17,800 --> 00:31:19,680 Speaker 10: But right people in this country would love us an 561 00:31:19,680 --> 00:31:21,640 Speaker 10: open water policy. Bring in all kinds of people who 562 00:31:21,680 --> 00:31:23,520 Speaker 10: work for two or three dollars, and now that would 563 00:31:23,560 --> 00:31:24,160 Speaker 10: be great for them. 564 00:31:24,320 --> 00:31:25,160 Speaker 1: I don't believe in that. 565 00:31:25,560 --> 00:31:27,640 Speaker 10: I think we have to raise wages in this country. 566 00:31:27,680 --> 00:31:29,400 Speaker 10: I think we have to do everything that we can 567 00:31:29,960 --> 00:31:32,640 Speaker 10: to create the millions of jobs. You know what, youth 568 00:31:32,680 --> 00:31:35,160 Speaker 10: unemployment in the United States of America today, if you 569 00:31:35,680 --> 00:31:38,280 Speaker 10: a white kid high school graduate thirty three percent, a 570 00:31:38,440 --> 00:31:41,760 Speaker 10: Hispanic thirty six percent, African American fifty one percent, you 571 00:31:41,760 --> 00:31:43,440 Speaker 10: think we should open the borders and bring in a 572 00:31:43,440 --> 00:31:45,560 Speaker 10: lot of low wage workers. What do you think maybe 573 00:31:45,560 --> 00:31:47,560 Speaker 10: we should try to get jobs for those kids. So 574 00:31:47,680 --> 00:31:50,000 Speaker 10: I think, from a mortal responsibility, we've got to do 575 00:31:50,080 --> 00:31:55,000 Speaker 10: work with the rest of the industrialized world to address 576 00:31:55,080 --> 00:31:57,479 Speaker 10: the problems of international poverty. But you don't do that 577 00:31:57,520 --> 00:31:59,680 Speaker 10: by making people in this country even poor. 578 00:32:00,280 --> 00:32:05,080 Speaker 2: Again, h Bernie Sanders fifteen years ago, sounding almost completely 579 00:32:05,080 --> 00:32:08,480 Speaker 2: opposite to how he sounds. Now, let's get to a 580 00:32:08,520 --> 00:32:11,560 Speaker 2: few of your comments from the iHeartRadio app and again 581 00:32:11,680 --> 00:32:14,000 Speaker 2: we'll talk more about the Artemis two mission coming up 582 00:32:14,040 --> 00:32:17,120 Speaker 2: much later in the show. I do want to spike 583 00:32:17,160 --> 00:32:19,520 Speaker 2: in just a couple of comments from. 584 00:32:19,320 --> 00:32:22,440 Speaker 1: You, John. 585 00:32:22,680 --> 00:32:25,880 Speaker 5: How do we know they're actually going to be circling 586 00:32:25,920 --> 00:32:26,320 Speaker 5: the moon? 587 00:32:28,880 --> 00:32:31,480 Speaker 1: We've heard that they landed on it before too. Yeah, 588 00:32:31,560 --> 00:32:36,800 Speaker 1: because they because they because they did. I'm not the 589 00:32:36,800 --> 00:32:39,320 Speaker 1: moon landing conspiracy theories just drive me nuts. 590 00:32:39,400 --> 00:32:43,880 Speaker 7: Speaking of which, how about we stopped pretending we went 591 00:32:43,960 --> 00:32:44,440 Speaker 7: to the moon. 592 00:32:46,280 --> 00:32:49,040 Speaker 1: Enjoy the show. I can't out relate to people where 593 00:32:49,080 --> 00:32:49,720 Speaker 1: nothing is real. 594 00:32:51,400 --> 00:32:53,200 Speaker 2: I love our listeners, and I love our friends of 595 00:32:53,280 --> 00:32:55,200 Speaker 2: the show, and I know that my comments are not 596 00:32:55,240 --> 00:32:59,239 Speaker 2: going to change you listening to the show. But I've 597 00:32:59,240 --> 00:33:01,520 Speaker 2: gotten to know many of you, and for a few 598 00:33:01,520 --> 00:33:03,800 Speaker 2: of you, nothing is that like, nothing is on the 599 00:33:03,880 --> 00:33:04,280 Speaker 2: up and up. 600 00:33:04,280 --> 00:33:11,000 Speaker 1: Eedbar I just okay. 601 00:33:12,840 --> 00:33:15,520 Speaker 11: I would much rather see boots on the ground and 602 00:33:15,600 --> 00:33:18,600 Speaker 11: Iran than foreign. 603 00:33:18,240 --> 00:33:21,160 Speaker 2: And domestic rosters continue to steal. 604 00:33:20,880 --> 00:33:25,040 Speaker 1: Our tax fighting Good Warren John. 605 00:33:25,680 --> 00:33:28,760 Speaker 11: I think we've all been supporters of Trump since twenty sixteen. 606 00:33:29,240 --> 00:33:32,560 Speaker 11: The problem now is with this Iran war is No, 607 00:33:32,760 --> 00:33:34,680 Speaker 11: I don't have a problem with boots on the ground. 608 00:33:34,920 --> 00:33:36,640 Speaker 11: If I do have a problem with boots on the 609 00:33:36,640 --> 00:33:42,640 Speaker 11: ground unless Israel doesn't put boots on the ground. Israel 610 00:33:42,800 --> 00:33:45,280 Speaker 11: needs to be the first to put boots on the 611 00:33:45,320 --> 00:33:47,480 Speaker 11: ground and have some skin in the game. 612 00:33:47,840 --> 00:33:50,520 Speaker 1: Otherwise I say stay out or there. 613 00:33:51,080 --> 00:33:53,280 Speaker 11: So come on, Israel, do your part. 614 00:33:53,960 --> 00:33:57,400 Speaker 2: In my opinion, Israel has been doing their part and 615 00:33:57,440 --> 00:33:59,280 Speaker 2: they've had skin in the game from the get go. 616 00:33:59,520 --> 00:34:03,560 Speaker 2: There they've been the major target of the threats from 617 00:34:03,640 --> 00:34:06,479 Speaker 2: Iran and have been a part of these operations all along. 618 00:34:06,600 --> 00:34:08,680 Speaker 2: And as an email just rolled in from front of 619 00:34:08,680 --> 00:34:12,880 Speaker 2: the show, Pat If you don't think that we've already 620 00:34:12,960 --> 00:34:16,040 Speaker 2: got boots on the ground already, you're probably fooling yourself. 621 00:34:16,040 --> 00:34:19,360 Speaker 2: And he's right, we more than likely do, and probably 622 00:34:19,400 --> 00:34:21,760 Speaker 2: we have this Raley boots on the ground as well already. 623 00:34:21,760 --> 00:34:24,400 Speaker 2: We're just not hearing about him. How do you think 624 00:34:24,440 --> 00:34:26,800 Speaker 2: they're getting all? I mean, listen, we know Israel is 625 00:34:26,840 --> 00:34:29,560 Speaker 2: already on the ground in Iran, and they have been 626 00:34:29,600 --> 00:34:31,279 Speaker 2: for a long time. How do you think that we 627 00:34:31,400 --> 00:34:35,040 Speaker 2: had all the intel and we've had the intel to 628 00:34:35,120 --> 00:34:38,080 Speaker 2: go and target the leadership, and every time a new 629 00:34:38,120 --> 00:34:41,719 Speaker 2: one is appointed, we've gone and target died them. 630 00:34:43,760 --> 00:34:46,640 Speaker 5: Hey, John, can you explain to me how our gas 631 00:34:46,680 --> 00:34:50,160 Speaker 5: prices are going up? Ben Trump's talking about how independent 632 00:34:50,160 --> 00:34:51,560 Speaker 5: we are and how much ore we have and how 633 00:34:51,600 --> 00:34:54,480 Speaker 5: much we manufacture. Are how there the gas prices still 634 00:34:54,520 --> 00:34:59,000 Speaker 5: going up. We shouldn't be dependent on Iranian stuff Radian oil, right, 635 00:34:59,320 --> 00:35:01,440 Speaker 5: I mean, I you've been to understand something correctly. 636 00:35:01,480 --> 00:35:03,439 Speaker 2: Thanks, Well, you've got a lot of different factors here. 637 00:35:05,200 --> 00:35:08,319 Speaker 2: First off, the warring is in and of itself, and 638 00:35:08,400 --> 00:35:11,640 Speaker 2: considering the oil that comes out of that region, you're 639 00:35:11,680 --> 00:35:16,239 Speaker 2: going to create volatility in the marketplace with military operations 640 00:35:16,280 --> 00:35:21,200 Speaker 2: regardless of its direct and tangible impact on oil reserves. 641 00:35:21,360 --> 00:35:24,560 Speaker 2: Much like what we see with the stock market. You 642 00:35:24,560 --> 00:35:26,400 Speaker 2: can have the President come out and make a comment 643 00:35:26,480 --> 00:35:30,239 Speaker 2: on any number of economic fiscal issues and you'll see 644 00:35:30,280 --> 00:35:32,960 Speaker 2: the stock market respond one way or another. That's just 645 00:35:33,560 --> 00:35:36,759 Speaker 2: a knee jerk speculative reaction. You have the same thing 646 00:35:36,800 --> 00:35:40,520 Speaker 2: happening with oil as well. You also have a disruption 647 00:35:40,600 --> 00:35:43,560 Speaker 2: and shipments through the strait of horror moves, which has 648 00:35:43,560 --> 00:35:46,319 Speaker 2: been a point of contention throughout all of this. And 649 00:35:46,320 --> 00:35:48,960 Speaker 2: then I also believe you have the circumstance of the 650 00:35:49,000 --> 00:35:52,600 Speaker 2: oil manufacturers and the companies that take advantage of the 651 00:35:52,680 --> 00:35:56,640 Speaker 2: volatility everything that I mentioned before and try to get 652 00:35:56,680 --> 00:35:59,440 Speaker 2: out ahead of any disruptions by raising the price on 653 00:35:59,560 --> 00:36:03,600 Speaker 2: gas so that it does not have an impact negatively 654 00:36:04,840 --> 00:36:08,080 Speaker 2: on their revenue streams that come in. So there's a 655 00:36:08,160 --> 00:36:11,480 Speaker 2: lot of contributing factors involved in that, and I hope 656 00:36:11,520 --> 00:36:13,680 Speaker 2: that went to a little bit of a ways to 657 00:36:13,719 --> 00:36:15,640 Speaker 2: answer your question. We'll go back to more of your 658 00:36:15,640 --> 00:36:18,160 Speaker 2: talkbacks in just a moment on Twin City's News Talk. 659 00:36:18,200 --> 00:36:21,680 Speaker 2: We'll also get into a few other issues. Unsurprisingly, and 660 00:36:21,719 --> 00:36:26,120 Speaker 2: as predicted, yesterday, Democrats filed a lawsuit against President Trump's 661 00:36:26,120 --> 00:36:30,240 Speaker 2: executive order restricting mail ballots, arguing in oversteps his authority 662 00:36:30,239 --> 00:36:33,640 Speaker 2: and infringes on state and congressional powers. And again the 663 00:36:33,680 --> 00:36:36,439 Speaker 2: administration went and made this move with this executive order 664 00:36:36,520 --> 00:36:39,920 Speaker 2: now so they can get past all of these lawsuits. 665 00:36:39,960 --> 00:36:42,680 Speaker 2: I mean, this is playing out exactly in my opinion, 666 00:36:42,680 --> 00:36:46,160 Speaker 2: the way the administration wanted. Have the lawsuits filed so 667 00:36:46,200 --> 00:36:49,040 Speaker 2: they can be challenged. See how far up the courts 668 00:36:49,160 --> 00:36:52,240 Speaker 2: it goes, so that hopefully when they win the argument 669 00:36:52,280 --> 00:36:54,680 Speaker 2: and they can move forward with this policy, it can 670 00:36:54,719 --> 00:36:57,960 Speaker 2: still be implemented in time to have a positive impact 671 00:36:58,239 --> 00:37:03,280 Speaker 2: in shoring up election in tech for the midterms. Now, yesterday, 672 00:37:03,280 --> 00:37:07,480 Speaker 2: President Donald Trump did go to the Supreme Court.
