1 00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:03,400 Speaker 1: Six one seven two six, six, sixty eight sixty eight 2 00:00:03,720 --> 00:00:07,920 Speaker 1: is the number. Okay, I was cut off at the 3 00:00:08,200 --> 00:00:10,559 Speaker 1: end as I was trying to make my main point. 4 00:00:10,640 --> 00:00:13,720 Speaker 1: But anyway, here it is, let me just repeat it. Look, 5 00:00:13,800 --> 00:00:18,040 Speaker 1: I don't want to see a repeat of Afghanistan where 6 00:00:18,320 --> 00:00:22,360 Speaker 1: we betray people who are depending upon the good name 7 00:00:22,400 --> 00:00:26,920 Speaker 1: and honor of the United States. And so he's got 8 00:00:26,960 --> 00:00:29,800 Speaker 1: to clear the strait of hormones. There's no question you 9 00:00:29,880 --> 00:00:33,400 Speaker 1: cannot allow the Iranians to block it and to hold 10 00:00:33,400 --> 00:00:38,239 Speaker 1: the entire world hostage. So you know, please understand that. 11 00:00:38,560 --> 00:00:40,800 Speaker 1: So it may take another couple of days, however long 12 00:00:40,880 --> 00:00:45,720 Speaker 1: it takes. But once that goal or objective is accomplished, 13 00:00:47,200 --> 00:00:52,720 Speaker 1: either Trump declares victory because militarily we've won, I mean 14 00:00:52,760 --> 00:00:55,920 Speaker 1: from no, there's no way to spin it that this 15 00:00:56,080 --> 00:00:59,760 Speaker 1: was in any way a defeat for the United States militarily. 16 00:01:00,120 --> 00:01:06,960 Speaker 1: Ron has been shattered, its nuclear program shattered, its reputation 17 00:01:07,120 --> 00:01:12,080 Speaker 1: and influence shattered, and the Mullahs will have been dealt 18 00:01:12,240 --> 00:01:17,200 Speaker 1: a huge devastating blow from which potentially down the road, 19 00:01:18,280 --> 00:01:21,679 Speaker 1: once the Iranian people can get their act together, they 20 00:01:21,720 --> 00:01:29,080 Speaker 1: may never recover from. So either you declare victory and 21 00:01:29,200 --> 00:01:32,520 Speaker 1: come home. In other words, end the war. Prices will 22 00:01:32,560 --> 00:01:36,880 Speaker 1: then come down, oil will come down, inflation will come down, 23 00:01:37,959 --> 00:01:42,160 Speaker 1: and Trump can focus on very important domestic issues like 24 00:01:42,200 --> 00:01:44,760 Speaker 1: the Save Act for example, and obviously get geared up 25 00:01:44,760 --> 00:01:49,640 Speaker 1: for the midterms, or finish the job. Go all in. 26 00:01:49,800 --> 00:01:51,600 Speaker 1: I mean, then just you know, go all in and 27 00:01:51,640 --> 00:01:55,120 Speaker 1: topple the regime. I don't recommend it. I don't think 28 00:01:55,160 --> 00:01:58,200 Speaker 1: there's appetite in this country for ground troops and the 29 00:01:58,240 --> 00:02:03,400 Speaker 1: ground invasion. I think it would be a huge mistake politically, 30 00:02:04,280 --> 00:02:07,440 Speaker 1: and I don't even know if there is a viable alternative. 31 00:02:07,520 --> 00:02:10,480 Speaker 1: I know people keep mentioning the Crown Prince, but I 32 00:02:10,480 --> 00:02:14,200 Speaker 1: think what Americans need to realize is in Iran he 33 00:02:14,400 --> 00:02:18,920 Speaker 1: is not that popular. He has a base of support, yes, 34 00:02:19,680 --> 00:02:25,000 Speaker 1: but it's narrow because many Iranians resent the Shaw. It 35 00:02:25,080 --> 00:02:29,640 Speaker 1: was clearly better than the Ayatolas, but the Shaw was 36 00:02:29,680 --> 00:02:34,519 Speaker 1: also brutal, and many of them don't want the restoration 37 00:02:34,600 --> 00:02:38,920 Speaker 1: of the monarchy. So and by the way, this is 38 00:02:38,960 --> 00:02:43,080 Speaker 1: a little bit inside baseball, but apparently the Crown Prince 39 00:02:44,160 --> 00:02:49,919 Speaker 1: has always been in the past reluctant to actually rule 40 00:02:50,200 --> 00:02:54,680 Speaker 1: or govern Iran, to the point that his children do 41 00:02:54,760 --> 00:02:59,160 Speaker 1: not speak a word of Persian, not a single word, 42 00:03:00,919 --> 00:03:04,040 Speaker 1: and many Iranians find it deeply insulting. Well, you want 43 00:03:04,080 --> 00:03:07,240 Speaker 1: to be our king, but the alleged successor, you know, 44 00:03:07,280 --> 00:03:11,120 Speaker 1: your sons and daughters, your children, how are they going 45 00:03:11,200 --> 00:03:14,240 Speaker 1: to be our you know, our prince, our princess eventually 46 00:03:14,240 --> 00:03:16,600 Speaker 1: one day maybe our king or our queen. And they 47 00:03:16,639 --> 00:03:20,560 Speaker 1: can't speak an absolute word of Persian, and so there 48 00:03:20,680 --> 00:03:24,799 Speaker 1: is not much of a support base for the crown 49 00:03:24,919 --> 00:03:29,680 Speaker 1: Prince in Iran itself. Trump would love to have him 50 00:03:29,680 --> 00:03:32,519 Speaker 1: come to power, but that's why Trump keeps saying over 51 00:03:32,560 --> 00:03:36,840 Speaker 1: and over again, nice man, cultured man. Obviously to me 52 00:03:37,080 --> 00:03:41,080 Speaker 1: a much better alternative than the Mulla's. But he's just 53 00:03:41,320 --> 00:03:45,839 Speaker 1: not that popular with an Iraan. He just isn't. So 54 00:03:46,360 --> 00:03:52,240 Speaker 1: the problem that Trump faces is you topple the regime 55 00:03:52,640 --> 00:03:59,760 Speaker 1: what comes next? And so far there's no uprising, there's 56 00:03:59,800 --> 00:04:04,680 Speaker 1: no organized opposition that's willing to put together a shadow government. 57 00:04:05,840 --> 00:04:12,000 Speaker 1: It's just anarchy, chaos, and a mess. And Trump does 58 00:04:12,040 --> 00:04:17,760 Speaker 1: not want to leave behind a destabilized Iran because that 59 00:04:17,839 --> 00:04:22,000 Speaker 1: will really alienate the Persian Gulf countries because they're gonna 60 00:04:22,040 --> 00:04:26,000 Speaker 1: have to deal with this and deal with the massive 61 00:04:26,080 --> 00:04:30,760 Speaker 1: the refugees, the migration. I mean, it just goes on 62 00:04:30,880 --> 00:04:34,719 Speaker 1: and on. So Trump would like to have some kind 63 00:04:34,720 --> 00:04:40,080 Speaker 1: of a stable government in place to run Iran. That's 64 00:04:40,120 --> 00:04:45,160 Speaker 1: the problem he faces with a regime change. But either way, 65 00:04:45,960 --> 00:04:49,800 Speaker 1: either declare victory and say we've achieved our military objectives 66 00:04:50,240 --> 00:04:56,240 Speaker 1: and then come home, or finish the job. But don't 67 00:04:56,240 --> 00:05:00,880 Speaker 1: go in halfway. Try to topple the regime and then 68 00:05:01,120 --> 00:05:04,920 Speaker 1: leave and then lead those people that will support us 69 00:05:04,960 --> 00:05:09,960 Speaker 1: will get slaughtered. In other words, whatever you do, do 70 00:05:10,080 --> 00:05:14,719 Speaker 1: it with honor. Six one seven two six six sixty 71 00:05:14,760 --> 00:05:20,000 Speaker 1: eight sixty eight. Just my opinion, Mark in Medford, Thanks 72 00:05:20,000 --> 00:05:22,360 Speaker 1: for holding Mark, and welcome. 73 00:05:23,760 --> 00:05:25,800 Speaker 2: Good Jeff. A happy Monday to. 74 00:05:25,760 --> 00:05:29,880 Speaker 1: Your Happy Monday to you Mark, Jeff. 75 00:05:30,279 --> 00:05:32,760 Speaker 2: What I think is going to happen. I think once 76 00:05:32,960 --> 00:05:35,960 Speaker 2: Israel and the United States take care of what's left 77 00:05:36,000 --> 00:05:38,960 Speaker 2: on the coast of the Strait up Wamus and the 78 00:05:39,040 --> 00:05:42,240 Speaker 2: oil is flowing in and out like our blood flows 79 00:05:42,320 --> 00:05:46,080 Speaker 2: to our body. I think I think Trump will declare 80 00:05:46,279 --> 00:05:51,200 Speaker 2: victory and pull out. But what he should say to 81 00:05:51,839 --> 00:05:56,159 Speaker 2: Yahoo h. 82 00:05:57,720 --> 00:06:00,000 Speaker 1: Mark, you do me a favor, hang on up against 83 00:06:00,080 --> 00:06:04,880 Speaker 1: a heartbreak. Clearly, the military operation has been a spectacular success. 84 00:06:05,839 --> 00:06:11,279 Speaker 1: Iran militarily has now been broken. There's still some resistance left. 85 00:06:11,800 --> 00:06:16,040 Speaker 1: But now the flashpoint of this entire war hinges on 86 00:06:16,080 --> 00:06:19,279 Speaker 1: the Strait of Hormose. They have mined it, they have 87 00:06:19,440 --> 00:06:23,039 Speaker 1: blocked it, the Iranian Mullas have and that has clogged 88 00:06:23,120 --> 00:06:26,360 Speaker 1: up this the most vital shipping lane in the world. 89 00:06:26,839 --> 00:06:30,000 Speaker 1: It has sent oil prices around the world through the roof, 90 00:06:30,120 --> 00:06:33,000 Speaker 1: including here in the United States. They are trying to 91 00:06:33,080 --> 00:06:38,839 Speaker 1: blackmail the West and especially America economically. Trump now says 92 00:06:38,880 --> 00:06:42,680 Speaker 1: he will clear the Strait of Hormose, whatever it takes. 93 00:06:43,640 --> 00:06:47,599 Speaker 1: And then what should Trump do? That is now the question. 94 00:06:48,440 --> 00:06:51,680 Speaker 1: This will be the pivotal week of the war. Once 95 00:06:51,760 --> 00:06:55,880 Speaker 1: the Strait of Hormoose is cleared, will he leave? Should 96 00:06:55,960 --> 00:07:01,760 Speaker 1: he leave the Iranian Mulla intact, the Muller regime, not 97 00:07:01,920 --> 00:07:05,520 Speaker 1: because he wants to, but because so far there has 98 00:07:05,640 --> 00:07:11,520 Speaker 1: been no popular uprising, no success or government has emerged 99 00:07:13,240 --> 00:07:17,200 Speaker 1: that can provide stability to the country. Or should Trump 100 00:07:17,320 --> 00:07:21,600 Speaker 1: go in, send in ground troops and topple the regime 101 00:07:22,080 --> 00:07:24,960 Speaker 1: and end it once and for all, in other words, 102 00:07:25,440 --> 00:07:31,040 Speaker 1: finish the job. Where do you stand? Six one seven two, six, 103 00:07:31,200 --> 00:07:34,760 Speaker 1: six sixty eight sixty eight and the pole question of 104 00:07:34,800 --> 00:07:38,200 Speaker 1: the day, where now, the third week into the war, 105 00:07:39,080 --> 00:07:43,160 Speaker 1: do you believe the war has been worth it. Let's 106 00:07:43,200 --> 00:07:49,640 Speaker 1: go back to Mark in Medford. Mark, you were making, 107 00:07:49,680 --> 00:07:53,600 Speaker 1: I think a very interesting point that Trump wants the 108 00:07:53,640 --> 00:07:56,880 Speaker 1: straight of Hormose is taken care of, and all the 109 00:07:56,920 --> 00:08:02,200 Speaker 1: oil tankers and oil cargo and oil flow can go 110 00:08:02,280 --> 00:08:04,880 Speaker 1: through that part of the world and get to the 111 00:08:04,880 --> 00:08:08,680 Speaker 1: world markets. Trump should then declare victory and come home, 112 00:08:09,480 --> 00:08:14,480 Speaker 1: but Israel will still be involved. It's a joint operation. 113 00:08:15,480 --> 00:08:19,280 Speaker 1: Just because we leave, does it mean the Israelis need 114 00:08:19,320 --> 00:08:24,600 Speaker 1: to leave? Please pick up where you left off, Mark, Jeff. 115 00:08:24,320 --> 00:08:26,520 Speaker 2: I gotta tell you a great mind stinker, like my 116 00:08:26,640 --> 00:08:30,000 Speaker 2: friend or on the same wavelength, he should sit down 117 00:08:30,080 --> 00:08:33,360 Speaker 2: with Babe and say, listen, this is what we can 118 00:08:33,400 --> 00:08:37,640 Speaker 2: do here. I know that you want regime change. I 119 00:08:37,800 --> 00:08:43,000 Speaker 2: know that you're not done. But what we've done to 120 00:08:43,120 --> 00:08:47,760 Speaker 2: this country, as far as decimation goes, as far as 121 00:08:48,000 --> 00:08:51,880 Speaker 2: any way to fight back, there's no reason why bbe 122 00:08:52,240 --> 00:08:56,560 Speaker 2: that Israel can't finish the job on their own. Now, 123 00:08:56,559 --> 00:09:00,440 Speaker 2: with that being said, Jeff, I also believe that Trump 124 00:09:00,640 --> 00:09:04,240 Speaker 2: and in Yahoo should reach out to the Iranian people 125 00:09:04,720 --> 00:09:08,960 Speaker 2: that are serious about regime change and that supported this 126 00:09:09,040 --> 00:09:13,280 Speaker 2: from day one, and say, listen, we busted in the doors, 127 00:09:13,679 --> 00:09:16,600 Speaker 2: we knocked down the walls for you. Now it's up 128 00:09:16,640 --> 00:09:19,640 Speaker 2: to you to take the ball and run with it. 129 00:09:19,880 --> 00:09:21,240 Speaker 2: What say you, Jeff. 130 00:09:22,000 --> 00:09:22,720 Speaker 1: Well, I love it. 131 00:09:22,800 --> 00:09:23,040 Speaker 3: Mark. 132 00:09:23,080 --> 00:09:26,160 Speaker 1: Look, I got to say, I've been saying this now 133 00:09:26,160 --> 00:09:30,079 Speaker 1: from the beginning of the war. I think Trump's messaging 134 00:09:30,720 --> 00:09:34,160 Speaker 1: I've been saying this really from the first day. I 135 00:09:34,160 --> 00:09:38,200 Speaker 1: don't think he's made a concerted effort to convince the 136 00:09:38,200 --> 00:09:42,800 Speaker 1: American people. I don't know why. Usually your president will 137 00:09:42,800 --> 00:09:47,040 Speaker 1: make a national address at a bare minimum and say, hey, look, 138 00:09:47,480 --> 00:09:51,480 Speaker 1: we've launched this massive operation, Operation Epic Fury. We believe 139 00:09:51,520 --> 00:09:54,520 Speaker 1: it'll take four or five weeks. Here's why I'm doing it. 140 00:09:54,920 --> 00:09:59,079 Speaker 1: Here are objectives, both military political. This is why I'm 141 00:09:59,080 --> 00:10:02,080 Speaker 1: putting American true groups on the line. I believe we 142 00:10:02,160 --> 00:10:04,199 Speaker 1: need to do it for the national security of the 143 00:10:04,280 --> 00:10:07,680 Speaker 1: United States and for the good of the world. He's 144 00:10:07,720 --> 00:10:11,360 Speaker 1: given press conferences, he's you know, debated with the press 145 00:10:11,400 --> 00:10:15,000 Speaker 1: and spoken to the press. He's done rallies, but he's 146 00:10:15,120 --> 00:10:19,120 Speaker 1: never done an eight pm Eastern or nine pm Eastern 147 00:10:19,720 --> 00:10:24,040 Speaker 1: prime time address. All of the networks, which I think 148 00:10:24,040 --> 00:10:27,320 Speaker 1: he needs to do, and I think, to be honest, 149 00:10:27,400 --> 00:10:30,240 Speaker 1: that's one of the reasons why the war is not 150 00:10:30,480 --> 00:10:35,240 Speaker 1: polling that well, because, to be honest, look, many Americans 151 00:10:36,440 --> 00:10:38,840 Speaker 1: just to you know, I know many Americans are lazy, 152 00:10:38,920 --> 00:10:42,760 Speaker 1: low information voters, but frankly, many Americans are just so 153 00:10:42,840 --> 00:10:48,079 Speaker 1: freaking busy working, paying the bills. Both parents are working, 154 00:10:48,800 --> 00:10:53,040 Speaker 1: people are treading water. It's a tough economy. It just is. So, 155 00:10:53,520 --> 00:10:57,320 Speaker 1: you know, inflation is high, so you know, they need 156 00:10:57,360 --> 00:11:01,760 Speaker 1: to hear from the president, not the nightly news, because 157 00:11:01,800 --> 00:11:05,680 Speaker 1: the nightly news is spinning everything against them. They're rooting 158 00:11:05,760 --> 00:11:09,680 Speaker 1: for him to lose. So every news is bad news 159 00:11:09,800 --> 00:11:12,800 Speaker 1: when you look at the nightly news. So I've always 160 00:11:12,800 --> 00:11:17,440 Speaker 1: thought that was a strategic messaging communications mistake. I thought 161 00:11:17,480 --> 00:11:20,800 Speaker 1: the second mistake he should have And I know he 162 00:11:20,920 --> 00:11:25,600 Speaker 1: set comments to the Iranian people, but I mean a 163 00:11:25,800 --> 00:11:31,439 Speaker 1: five ten minute, fifteen minute package, maybe with a translator 164 00:11:31,640 --> 00:11:36,640 Speaker 1: or with subtitles in Farsi, okay, at the bottom, and 165 00:11:36,679 --> 00:11:39,920 Speaker 1: I would say leave bb out because they just don't 166 00:11:39,960 --> 00:11:43,400 Speaker 1: like the Israelis. They just don't, okay, But America is 167 00:11:43,400 --> 00:11:48,040 Speaker 1: a different story, and beam it through the internet. On 168 00:11:48,240 --> 00:11:52,120 Speaker 1: social media. However, you can get it done and explain 169 00:11:52,200 --> 00:11:56,040 Speaker 1: to them. Listen, I know we're bombing you, and you're 170 00:11:56,040 --> 00:12:00,800 Speaker 1: saying to yourselves. Buildings are being destroyed, there's collateral damage, 171 00:12:01,200 --> 00:12:05,480 Speaker 1: Civilians are being killed. Some of these oil refineries, which 172 00:12:05,559 --> 00:12:07,920 Speaker 1: is the lifeblood of your nation, is going up in smoke. 173 00:12:08,400 --> 00:12:10,360 Speaker 1: And some of you are angry because you're saying, hey, 174 00:12:10,440 --> 00:12:15,480 Speaker 1: you're destroying our natural resources, You're killing our children. That's 175 00:12:15,600 --> 00:12:19,840 Speaker 1: not our intent. We are not at war with you, 176 00:12:20,040 --> 00:12:24,080 Speaker 1: the Iranian people, but with the regime that has oppressed 177 00:12:24,120 --> 00:12:28,080 Speaker 1: you for forty seven years. We are with you, the 178 00:12:28,160 --> 00:12:33,160 Speaker 1: Iranian people. We want you to rise up. We want 179 00:12:33,200 --> 00:12:38,960 Speaker 1: you to overthrow these barbaric, medieval, crazed Mullas once and 180 00:12:39,000 --> 00:12:42,600 Speaker 1: for all. And I extend my hand to all of you. 181 00:12:42,720 --> 00:12:45,160 Speaker 1: I give you the word of the President of the 182 00:12:45,240 --> 00:12:49,680 Speaker 1: United States that if you overthrow the Mullas, we will 183 00:12:49,720 --> 00:12:57,679 Speaker 1: do everything in our power to support you, militarily, economically, logistically, intelligence, 184 00:12:58,040 --> 00:13:01,520 Speaker 1: whatever it takes. And if you overthrow them and become 185 00:13:01,520 --> 00:13:06,040 Speaker 1: a normal country, we will never determine your internal politics. 186 00:13:06,679 --> 00:13:10,280 Speaker 1: You decide which government you want, who your leaders are. 187 00:13:10,400 --> 00:13:14,560 Speaker 1: You decide, not us. But if you become a normal country, 188 00:13:14,600 --> 00:13:19,840 Speaker 1: a stable, normal country. Then we will open up everything 189 00:13:19,920 --> 00:13:23,880 Speaker 1: for you. You'll be welcomed again into the world community. 190 00:13:24,240 --> 00:13:28,600 Speaker 1: Everybody will trade, we will lift all sanctions, the oil 191 00:13:28,720 --> 00:13:33,400 Speaker 1: will flow again from Iran, and your coffers will be filled, 192 00:13:34,240 --> 00:13:37,920 Speaker 1: and you will rebuild your country and join the modern world. 193 00:13:39,320 --> 00:13:42,000 Speaker 1: He's got to do that. See, that was the one 194 00:13:42,120 --> 00:13:46,920 Speaker 1: thing Reagan was brilliant at. He could talk to people. 195 00:13:47,000 --> 00:13:50,720 Speaker 1: He was the great communicator, both at home and abroad. 196 00:13:51,880 --> 00:13:55,240 Speaker 1: Trump is so much a man of action that it's 197 00:13:55,280 --> 00:13:59,439 Speaker 1: almost like words are irrelevant. Actions are everything. But in 198 00:13:59,480 --> 00:14:06,200 Speaker 1: a war, words do matter. Words inspire, words give people courage, 199 00:14:06,960 --> 00:14:13,400 Speaker 1: words reassure, words inform, and so far he's not doing that. 200 00:14:14,440 --> 00:14:19,120 Speaker 1: So in a sense, militarily, it's been perfection, practically perfection. 201 00:14:20,440 --> 00:14:24,400 Speaker 1: But from a public relations point of view, he's losing 202 00:14:24,440 --> 00:14:28,000 Speaker 1: on the pr front because the media is a rayed 203 00:14:28,000 --> 00:14:32,040 Speaker 1: against him. He's not going around the media, and so 204 00:14:32,200 --> 00:14:37,120 Speaker 1: far his message is not reaching the Iranian people, and 205 00:14:37,280 --> 00:14:40,239 Speaker 1: that's ultimately That's one of the things I'm worried about, 206 00:14:40,600 --> 00:14:43,040 Speaker 1: is that this could be where we win the war, 207 00:14:44,080 --> 00:14:48,120 Speaker 1: but we mess up the endgame. And if we mess 208 00:14:48,200 --> 00:14:51,280 Speaker 1: up the endgame, Mark, Trump is going to be blamed. 209 00:14:51,480 --> 00:14:52,320 Speaker 1: Final word to you. 210 00:14:53,920 --> 00:14:58,120 Speaker 2: Well, Jiff, I agree with you one million percent that 211 00:14:58,120 --> 00:15:01,080 Speaker 2: Trump should have a press conference I'm the Oval Office 212 00:15:02,040 --> 00:15:05,040 Speaker 2: and say saying the exact words that just came out 213 00:15:05,080 --> 00:15:08,520 Speaker 2: of your mouth. But he does need to sit down 214 00:15:08,600 --> 00:15:12,640 Speaker 2: with Nah Yahoo and say, once there's no more thread 215 00:15:12,680 --> 00:15:17,880 Speaker 2: of military action on the coast of Hamuse, we are out, 216 00:15:18,080 --> 00:15:22,000 Speaker 2: we are done. You want to finish the job, go 217 00:15:22,120 --> 00:15:24,920 Speaker 2: right ahead and then either an hour from then or 218 00:15:24,960 --> 00:15:25,600 Speaker 2: the next day. 219 00:15:26,720 --> 00:15:29,400 Speaker 1: Yeah, I know, I'm with you, now, Mark, I'm with you. Okay, 220 00:15:29,800 --> 00:15:33,840 Speaker 1: let me just play two very very important cuts because 221 00:15:33,880 --> 00:15:38,240 Speaker 1: they signal now Trump's thinking and where we are right 222 00:15:38,280 --> 00:15:42,280 Speaker 1: now in the war. Listen now to President Trump again 223 00:15:42,400 --> 00:15:48,080 Speaker 1: on Air Force One, this time talking about the devastating 224 00:15:48,120 --> 00:15:53,640 Speaker 1: attack on Carg Island, which I mentioned. Ninety percent of 225 00:15:53,720 --> 00:15:59,800 Speaker 1: Iran's oil ninety percent is processed there and then exported 226 00:16:00,080 --> 00:16:03,800 Speaker 1: from that island. It is what the Mullas themselves call 227 00:16:04,320 --> 00:16:08,400 Speaker 1: their economic crown jewel. Well, Trump has now for the 228 00:16:08,440 --> 00:16:15,800 Speaker 1: most part, destroyed every military installation on Carg Island. He 229 00:16:15,880 --> 00:16:20,320 Speaker 1: has kept the oil pipelines, the facilities themselves intact. He 230 00:16:20,360 --> 00:16:22,680 Speaker 1: could have destroyed them. He doesn't want to destroy them 231 00:16:23,160 --> 00:16:29,400 Speaker 1: because that would just absolutely savage the Iranian economy for 232 00:16:29,640 --> 00:16:33,880 Speaker 1: a generation. I mean they can't you can't process, you 233 00:16:33,920 --> 00:16:37,960 Speaker 1: can't export your oil. For a country like Iran, You're finished. 234 00:16:38,720 --> 00:16:41,160 Speaker 1: I mean economically. It would cut them off at Denise, 235 00:16:41,880 --> 00:16:45,680 Speaker 1: it would strangle them. And Trump doesn't want to do 236 00:16:45,760 --> 00:16:48,880 Speaker 1: that because then the Iranian people will say, who whoa, whoa, whoa. 237 00:16:49,800 --> 00:16:53,040 Speaker 1: This is going to lead to our perpetual poverty and misery. 238 00:16:54,000 --> 00:16:56,800 Speaker 1: We don't have oil, we can't function, we can't live. 239 00:16:57,640 --> 00:17:00,960 Speaker 1: So Trump doesn't want to do it. But listen to 240 00:17:01,040 --> 00:17:06,600 Speaker 1: him saying carg Island has been effectively disarmed. You can't 241 00:17:06,640 --> 00:17:12,560 Speaker 1: protect it, and we can destroy it at will. Back 242 00:17:12,640 --> 00:17:15,840 Speaker 1: off the strait of Hormuz. If you know what's good 243 00:17:15,880 --> 00:17:20,359 Speaker 1: for you, roll cut one be Mike. 244 00:17:23,200 --> 00:17:29,800 Speaker 4: Bill, Charlie. It's been amazing. We attacked card Pilot, left 245 00:17:30,200 --> 00:17:34,200 Speaker 4: just one little area standing in the standing marts where 246 00:17:34,240 --> 00:17:36,360 Speaker 4: they have the pipes, well the oil pipes a bit, 247 00:17:37,240 --> 00:17:39,639 Speaker 4: and we could do that in five minutes. Notice we 248 00:17:39,680 --> 00:17:41,639 Speaker 4: haven't all locked and loaded and ready to go. 249 00:17:41,680 --> 00:17:43,720 Speaker 1: But we want to do it. But we chose not 250 00:17:43,880 --> 00:17:44,119 Speaker 1: to do it. 251 00:17:44,240 --> 00:17:45,200 Speaker 3: I chose not to do it. 252 00:17:45,280 --> 00:17:50,119 Speaker 1: Yet see what happens now. Notice yet, that's a threat. 253 00:17:50,320 --> 00:17:51,840 Speaker 1: I'm not saying this in a bad way. I'm just 254 00:17:51,880 --> 00:17:54,919 Speaker 1: saying it's a threat. He's telling the Molas. You know, 255 00:17:54,920 --> 00:17:58,520 Speaker 1: it's all psychological warfare. Now, he's telling them and the 256 00:17:58,560 --> 00:18:01,480 Speaker 1: Iranian people. You're saying, guys, if you don't want to 257 00:18:01,520 --> 00:18:06,520 Speaker 1: lose carg A unblocked the Strait of Hormoose and maybe 258 00:18:06,560 --> 00:18:10,199 Speaker 1: wink wink overthrow the Mullus. But at a bare minimum, 259 00:18:10,720 --> 00:18:15,639 Speaker 1: you better not stop mining the Strait of Hormoose because 260 00:18:15,680 --> 00:18:17,680 Speaker 1: I'm telling you I could blow up, as he put it, 261 00:18:17,720 --> 00:18:20,199 Speaker 1: I can blow it up in five minutes. And then 262 00:18:20,240 --> 00:18:24,439 Speaker 1: you guys have nothing. I mean nothing, You have no economy. 263 00:18:24,480 --> 00:18:30,840 Speaker 1: You're done now. Trump was on Fox Radio and he 264 00:18:31,040 --> 00:18:36,720 Speaker 1: was asked, the economy is taking a blow. You know it. 265 00:18:36,840 --> 00:18:40,919 Speaker 1: Everybody knows it. Inflation is going way back up. Oil 266 00:18:41,000 --> 00:18:45,440 Speaker 1: prices through the roof, especially at the pump. People are complaining, 267 00:18:45,640 --> 00:18:49,040 Speaker 1: you promise low gas prices. They're high. I know it's temporary, 268 00:18:49,080 --> 00:18:53,080 Speaker 1: but still they're high. The economy is going to hang 269 00:18:53,160 --> 00:18:56,840 Speaker 1: over you as we go into the midterms. Trump says, 270 00:18:57,119 --> 00:19:00,399 Speaker 1: don't worry. The economy is going to bounce back to 271 00:19:00,520 --> 00:19:05,000 Speaker 1: which then he's asked, well, when will this war be over? 272 00:19:05,440 --> 00:19:08,399 Speaker 1: What is it for you? What objective needs to be 273 00:19:08,440 --> 00:19:12,680 Speaker 1: achieved for you to say, Okay, we're done, we've won, 274 00:19:13,000 --> 00:19:17,000 Speaker 1: and we're coming home. Listen to the president's answer, roll 275 00:19:17,160 --> 00:19:19,280 Speaker 1: cut two a mike. 276 00:19:21,760 --> 00:19:23,840 Speaker 3: When it's over. And I don't think it's going to 277 00:19:23,920 --> 00:19:26,240 Speaker 3: be long when it's over. This is good about right 278 00:19:26,320 --> 00:19:28,560 Speaker 3: back so fast? When are you going to know when 279 00:19:28,600 --> 00:19:31,280 Speaker 3: it's over? When I feel it? Okay? 280 00:19:33,280 --> 00:19:38,480 Speaker 1: So basically he's saying instincts, he's going to rely ultimately 281 00:19:38,520 --> 00:19:43,240 Speaker 1: on his instincts when he senses it's part just not 282 00:19:43,400 --> 00:19:46,240 Speaker 1: knowing that when your enemy is defeated and when you've won. 283 00:19:47,280 --> 00:19:50,840 Speaker 1: But I think the big question is how far can 284 00:19:50,880 --> 00:19:55,280 Speaker 1: I push the guyatolas and ultimately? And he still wants 285 00:19:55,320 --> 00:19:58,760 Speaker 1: to give himself as much breathing room as possible. But 286 00:19:59,280 --> 00:20:03,720 Speaker 1: is there any body anywhere that can be a viable 287 00:20:04,320 --> 00:20:09,720 Speaker 1: air or forgive me viable successor that put forth a 288 00:20:09,760 --> 00:20:16,919 Speaker 1: stable government that will have enough national appeal, enough national 289 00:20:17,480 --> 00:20:22,720 Speaker 1: popularity that will enable that government to be a transition 290 00:20:22,880 --> 00:20:29,919 Speaker 1: government for eventual parliamentary democratic elections. In other words, is 291 00:20:29,960 --> 00:20:36,880 Speaker 1: there an alternative and so far politically, he doesn't see it. Now, 292 00:20:36,920 --> 00:20:40,080 Speaker 1: He's going to wait and wait and wait till a 293 00:20:40,160 --> 00:20:42,879 Speaker 1: long you know, as long as he can. But I 294 00:20:42,920 --> 00:20:46,199 Speaker 1: think he's going to say to himself, look, if they 295 00:20:46,280 --> 00:20:50,119 Speaker 1: got to stay intact, they can stay intact, but they'll 296 00:20:50,119 --> 00:20:54,920 Speaker 1: have nothing by the time I'm done. I mean, they'll 297 00:20:55,040 --> 00:20:59,480 Speaker 1: they will have no military, no nuclear program, and they 298 00:20:59,520 --> 00:21:04,200 Speaker 1: cannot threaten their neighbors for at least a generation. So 299 00:21:04,560 --> 00:21:08,800 Speaker 1: and then we just leave. So I think he's basically saying, 300 00:21:09,880 --> 00:21:12,720 Speaker 1: I want to see, are they going to put unconditional 301 00:21:12,760 --> 00:21:16,159 Speaker 1: surrender on the table. If the Mullus come back and 302 00:21:16,200 --> 00:21:20,040 Speaker 1: say unconditional surrender, that's when I know to call it quits. 303 00:21:20,359 --> 00:21:23,640 Speaker 1: That I've won. If not, then we have to look 304 00:21:23,640 --> 00:21:27,920 Speaker 1: at other options. Six one seven two six six sixty 305 00:21:27,920 --> 00:21:35,800 Speaker 1: eight sixty eight agree, disagree. Let's go to Dave, our 306 00:21:35,880 --> 00:21:43,480 Speaker 1: Western PA constitutionalist correspondent in the Pittsburgh area out in Pennsylvania. Dave, 307 00:21:43,600 --> 00:21:45,320 Speaker 1: thanks for holding and welcome. 308 00:21:47,359 --> 00:21:49,560 Speaker 3: That's how you doing. But how are you doing? Jeffica morning, 309 00:21:49,720 --> 00:21:51,359 Speaker 3: very good, very good. 310 00:21:51,400 --> 00:21:52,160 Speaker 1: How are you Dave? 311 00:21:52,880 --> 00:21:55,680 Speaker 3: Good? Jeff, Hey, Jeff, I came across the Bible for 312 00:21:55,760 --> 00:21:58,200 Speaker 3: us this morning. James one eight that says a double 313 00:21:58,240 --> 00:22:02,320 Speaker 3: minded man is unstable in all their ways. Diddo Bill 314 00:22:02,440 --> 00:22:06,879 Speaker 3: from Sudbury. The guy's brain dead, Jeff. And that's coming 315 00:22:06,920 --> 00:22:09,000 Speaker 3: from the word of God, buddy. So I think Bill 316 00:22:09,080 --> 00:22:10,160 Speaker 3: needs to smarten up. 317 00:22:12,480 --> 00:22:15,760 Speaker 1: Well, Bill's a moonbath, you know. So yeah, you know, 318 00:22:15,880 --> 00:22:18,200 Speaker 1: after a while, what can you do? You know, you 319 00:22:18,240 --> 00:22:21,520 Speaker 1: can lead a camel to water, You just can't make 320 00:22:21,520 --> 00:22:26,240 Speaker 1: the camel drink the water, you know what I'm saying, Dave. 321 00:22:26,640 --> 00:22:30,760 Speaker 1: But anyway, Dave, you're advising the president. What would be 322 00:22:30,800 --> 00:22:32,120 Speaker 1: your advice to him right now? 323 00:22:33,720 --> 00:22:34,760 Speaker 3: What I would do, Jeff? 324 00:22:34,800 --> 00:22:37,480 Speaker 5: I would blow away all those mines in the water 325 00:22:37,560 --> 00:22:42,480 Speaker 5: and the streets of hormones, and I would use navy ships, 326 00:22:42,520 --> 00:22:45,600 Speaker 5: maybe like an LST, a couple of amphibious ships to 327 00:22:45,720 --> 00:22:48,760 Speaker 5: guide the ships through the streets of hornmons. 328 00:22:48,800 --> 00:22:51,080 Speaker 3: Jeff. I've been through the streets of hort moons twice. 329 00:22:51,440 --> 00:22:53,639 Speaker 3: And you know, it's a very very smaller It's like 330 00:22:53,680 --> 00:22:55,879 Speaker 3: the straight to Gibraltar, Jeff, when you went to Europe 331 00:22:55,880 --> 00:22:59,480 Speaker 3: from the Atlantic Ocean into the Mediterranean. See, very small, 332 00:22:59,560 --> 00:23:02,959 Speaker 3: A lot of shipping area, a lot of channel. It 333 00:23:03,000 --> 00:23:05,080 Speaker 3: needs to be opened up, Jeff. For you know, the 334 00:23:05,119 --> 00:23:07,000 Speaker 3: gas prices again, they're going to go up. And as 335 00:23:07,000 --> 00:23:09,560 Speaker 3: far as to the liberal left, you move bats were 336 00:23:09,920 --> 00:23:13,320 Speaker 3: constraining the gas because of the green crap. We know that, Jeff. 337 00:23:13,680 --> 00:23:16,560 Speaker 3: But another argument for another day, Jeff. But here's the point. 338 00:23:16,840 --> 00:23:18,920 Speaker 3: You blow up that minefield in the water in the 339 00:23:18,960 --> 00:23:22,080 Speaker 3: streets or horm moves and we'll be fine, Jeff. We'll 340 00:23:22,119 --> 00:23:24,199 Speaker 3: tell you. I told us you you just do it, 341 00:23:24,240 --> 00:23:26,800 Speaker 3: We'll just keep shooting you like fish in the barrel. Jeff. 342 00:23:27,200 --> 00:23:30,399 Speaker 3: That's good analogy, Dave. 343 00:23:31,000 --> 00:23:34,639 Speaker 1: Would you support ground troops for regime change? 344 00:23:35,359 --> 00:23:38,080 Speaker 3: No, sir, we talked about that last week. No, I 345 00:23:38,680 --> 00:23:42,439 Speaker 3: don't support that. I believe that the CIA and the 346 00:23:42,520 --> 00:23:45,120 Speaker 3: Masad can you know, like you said, when the hearts 347 00:23:45,200 --> 00:23:48,000 Speaker 3: minds you the Iranian people and say, look, we'll arm 348 00:23:48,160 --> 00:23:50,679 Speaker 3: them through that. Maybe not the Kurage Jeff, but the 349 00:23:50,720 --> 00:23:54,520 Speaker 3: Iranian people because they know they've suffered under this regime. 350 00:23:54,560 --> 00:23:57,960 Speaker 3: The Persians are good people, Jeff. Besides, I'm gonna you know, Jeff, 351 00:23:58,000 --> 00:24:01,320 Speaker 3: on a personal level, Persian rug beautiful, Jeff. And I 352 00:24:01,320 --> 00:24:03,280 Speaker 3: want to see a Laddin come out of the lamp again. 353 00:24:03,280 --> 00:24:05,679 Speaker 3: I want to rub it again. Three wishes, Jeff, My 354 00:24:05,760 --> 00:24:09,439 Speaker 3: three wishes would be wipe out the Ietolas, take out 355 00:24:09,480 --> 00:24:12,560 Speaker 3: any of the Islamic fundamentalists in the Middle East, and 356 00:24:12,640 --> 00:24:15,880 Speaker 3: let peace reign, and let us God bless our country. 357 00:24:16,320 --> 00:24:18,639 Speaker 3: And that would be my three wishes, Jeff. But God's 358 00:24:18,680 --> 00:24:23,400 Speaker 3: already supreme, So. 359 00:24:21,640 --> 00:24:24,720 Speaker 1: Dave as always thank you for that call, my friend, 360 00:24:26,600 --> 00:24:30,160 Speaker 1: God bless you. Six seven two six six sixty eight 361 00:24:30,280 --> 00:24:35,840 Speaker 1: sixty eight. CJ in Boston, Thanks for holding CJ, and 362 00:24:35,960 --> 00:24:37,440 Speaker 1: welcome Jeff. 363 00:24:37,520 --> 00:24:41,200 Speaker 6: You mentioned earlier that a wounded animal is more dangerous 364 00:24:41,440 --> 00:24:44,240 Speaker 6: than an animal that isn't wounded, and here Trump wants 365 00:24:44,280 --> 00:24:48,439 Speaker 6: the woundest animal. Let him go one year, ten years, 366 00:24:48,560 --> 00:24:53,040 Speaker 6: one generation, two generations. There's not enough time for these 367 00:24:53,080 --> 00:24:55,800 Speaker 6: people to be nullified as far as their nuclear ambitions 368 00:24:55,800 --> 00:24:59,600 Speaker 6: are concerned. I mean, let's take a look what Trump 369 00:24:59,680 --> 00:25:03,360 Speaker 6: is done here. Trump and the people around him, they 370 00:25:03,359 --> 00:25:07,520 Speaker 6: are genius when it comes to military strategy. They have 371 00:25:07,680 --> 00:25:13,280 Speaker 6: secured Greenland for whatever reasons they want. Militarily, they're getting 372 00:25:13,280 --> 00:25:19,840 Speaker 6: the cattails out of Mexico. They have sat down with 373 00:25:20,000 --> 00:25:24,960 Speaker 6: negotiations almost with Cuba. Cuba now wants the negotiation, and 374 00:25:25,119 --> 00:25:30,120 Speaker 6: God Almighty, they have raised the American flag in Venezuela. 375 00:25:30,800 --> 00:25:32,600 Speaker 6: That is what Trump has done in the last six 376 00:25:32,600 --> 00:25:35,480 Speaker 6: months as president of the United States, and all these 377 00:25:35,520 --> 00:25:38,720 Speaker 6: people are worrying about his gas going up sixty seventy 378 00:25:39,520 --> 00:25:43,760 Speaker 6: are even a dollary gallon, you know, proud Americans who 379 00:25:43,800 --> 00:25:46,280 Speaker 6: stand by their president, who care about the defense of 380 00:25:46,320 --> 00:25:49,840 Speaker 6: their country. I'm worried about the cost of gas. Of course, 381 00:25:49,880 --> 00:25:52,399 Speaker 6: people need to pay it, but there are some sacrifices 382 00:25:52,440 --> 00:25:54,640 Speaker 6: that have to be made when you go to war, 383 00:25:55,040 --> 00:25:57,360 Speaker 6: such as they've done and during the Second World War, 384 00:25:57,880 --> 00:26:00,160 Speaker 6: you know where they were taking copper and silver out 385 00:26:00,160 --> 00:26:06,840 Speaker 6: of their homes to utilize for the military. I think 386 00:26:06,880 --> 00:26:11,040 Speaker 6: what he's going to do right now, he has a 387 00:26:11,200 --> 00:26:15,560 Speaker 6: marine amphibious unit that is going to go to that island. 388 00:26:15,600 --> 00:26:18,120 Speaker 6: I believe they're going to secure that island and take 389 00:26:18,160 --> 00:26:20,520 Speaker 6: over that island. That's what they're going to do. He's 390 00:26:20,560 --> 00:26:25,520 Speaker 6: gonna get the International Group to go into the straight 391 00:26:25,600 --> 00:26:31,159 Speaker 6: hubb moves to clear it and to make sure that 392 00:26:31,240 --> 00:26:35,600 Speaker 6: the oil passes freely. Let's not forget that this is 393 00:26:35,840 --> 00:26:39,680 Speaker 6: the country that this is hurting is China. China gets 394 00:26:39,800 --> 00:26:43,240 Speaker 6: ninety percent of their oil from Iran, and if their 395 00:26:43,320 --> 00:26:47,480 Speaker 6: factories cannot operate. Let's face it, there's going to be 396 00:26:47,520 --> 00:26:52,479 Speaker 6: a lot of dissension in China. That's what's going on 397 00:26:52,600 --> 00:26:55,240 Speaker 6: right now. China is the one that is hurting right now. 398 00:26:57,680 --> 00:26:59,720 Speaker 6: But we have to stand by our president. We have 399 00:26:59,760 --> 00:27:03,159 Speaker 6: to him by our country, and the mainstream media is 400 00:27:03,200 --> 00:27:06,040 Speaker 6: not helping. He needs to go on television to explain 401 00:27:06,119 --> 00:27:11,600 Speaker 6: to people exactly what's going on. You cannot wish or 402 00:27:11,680 --> 00:27:14,600 Speaker 6: have feelings or think you know when a war is 403 00:27:14,640 --> 00:27:17,960 Speaker 6: going to be over, as we have found out so 404 00:27:18,040 --> 00:27:22,159 Speaker 6: many times. A fellow veteran Russ called in earlier and 405 00:27:22,200 --> 00:27:27,439 Speaker 6: he mentioned, he mentioned that about Vietnam. We left in 406 00:27:28,000 --> 00:27:33,440 Speaker 6: nineteen seventy three. We left the South vietnamesetare alone. We 407 00:27:33,440 --> 00:27:36,800 Speaker 6: were dumping our tanks and equipment off of the aircraft carriers. 408 00:27:36,800 --> 00:27:40,400 Speaker 6: We no longer gave them munitions. We did not give 409 00:27:40,480 --> 00:27:44,240 Speaker 6: them the armament that they needed, although they had a 410 00:27:44,280 --> 00:27:48,040 Speaker 6: willingness to win. And that is why the United States 411 00:27:48,080 --> 00:27:53,760 Speaker 6: of America loses so many conflicts. It's because of our 412 00:27:54,000 --> 00:27:58,720 Speaker 6: unwillingness to win. It is because the mainstream media has 413 00:27:58,800 --> 00:28:05,440 Speaker 6: gone out and just bashed everything that we have tried 414 00:28:05,520 --> 00:28:09,080 Speaker 6: to do to protect our country. And you know, they're 415 00:28:09,080 --> 00:28:11,360 Speaker 6: doing it right now. They're doing it right now by 416 00:28:11,400 --> 00:28:15,960 Speaker 6: not financing the TSA. The TSA at the airport's right now. 417 00:28:16,080 --> 00:28:21,480 Speaker 6: Record numbers of TSA agents are leaving. They've quit their jobs. 418 00:28:21,800 --> 00:28:26,399 Speaker 6: At Logan International Airport in Boston. This Saturday morning, there 419 00:28:26,520 --> 00:28:29,720 Speaker 6: was a flight bound for Florida sat on the TOMAC 420 00:28:29,800 --> 00:28:33,959 Speaker 6: for hours because of a bomb three. So apparently they 421 00:28:34,000 --> 00:28:38,120 Speaker 6: don't have enough agents. You know, the Democrats, they want 422 00:28:38,160 --> 00:28:40,960 Speaker 6: to stop Ice, they want to stop the TSA, they 423 00:28:41,000 --> 00:28:45,120 Speaker 6: want to stop local police, they want to stop everything, 424 00:28:45,480 --> 00:28:51,040 Speaker 6: everything that protects our country, including you know, actually calling out, 425 00:28:52,360 --> 00:28:55,240 Speaker 6: you know, for the loss of this war. You know, 426 00:28:55,480 --> 00:29:00,360 Speaker 6: recently the head of the FCC, Brendan Tyr, has made 427 00:29:00,400 --> 00:29:05,120 Speaker 6: a statement about pulling licenses from these networks. And what 428 00:29:05,240 --> 00:29:08,160 Speaker 6: he should do is sow with CNN. But just let 429 00:29:08,200 --> 00:29:10,240 Speaker 6: me say this, do you want to end this war quickly? 430 00:29:10,840 --> 00:29:17,160 Speaker 6: Once those military that amphibious marine military unit secures that island, 431 00:29:17,440 --> 00:29:20,320 Speaker 6: you give them mula two choices. The Mulla's two choices 432 00:29:20,360 --> 00:29:30,320 Speaker 6: here unconditional surrender are evacuate Tehran. We'll give you seventy 433 00:29:30,360 --> 00:29:32,960 Speaker 6: two hours, and when we're done, here won't be a 434 00:29:33,000 --> 00:29:36,920 Speaker 6: building standing that would force those people who want to 435 00:29:36,960 --> 00:29:39,920 Speaker 6: protest to get out in the streets, and they will 436 00:29:39,960 --> 00:29:42,800 Speaker 6: spend the next twenty or thirty years building their city 437 00:29:43,920 --> 00:29:47,520 Speaker 6: instead of building bombs. Jeff, just let me say one 438 00:29:47,560 --> 00:29:53,000 Speaker 6: thing about the United States Military. If I may, I 439 00:29:53,040 --> 00:29:56,920 Speaker 6: had mentioned the Marines right now. There is a Marine 440 00:29:56,960 --> 00:30:00,880 Speaker 6: Corps veteran named Paul Canton who he joined the United 441 00:30:00,920 --> 00:30:04,680 Speaker 6: States Military, who went to the Persian Gulf. He served 442 00:30:04,680 --> 00:30:08,200 Speaker 6: for seven years. He's been living in Central Florida for 443 00:30:08,240 --> 00:30:11,400 Speaker 6: more than twenty five years. He's been trying for ten 444 00:30:11,480 --> 00:30:14,480 Speaker 6: years to become a citizen, but he was told when 445 00:30:14,480 --> 00:30:17,480 Speaker 6: he joined the United States Military that he would automatically 446 00:30:17,520 --> 00:30:20,720 Speaker 6: become a citizen. They are going to deport him unless 447 00:30:21,160 --> 00:30:26,920 Speaker 6: President Trump intervenes, and you know the reason why he voted. 448 00:30:27,840 --> 00:30:30,000 Speaker 6: They're going to deny They're going to throw him out 449 00:30:30,040 --> 00:30:33,320 Speaker 6: of the country after serving in the United States Marines. 450 00:30:33,520 --> 00:30:36,840 Speaker 6: And what this proud Marine said is they can deny 451 00:30:36,960 --> 00:30:40,479 Speaker 6: me citizenship, but they can never deny the fact that 452 00:30:40,520 --> 00:30:43,560 Speaker 6: I served as a proud Marine. So so the President 453 00:30:43,680 --> 00:30:47,000 Speaker 6: please intervene here. If not, what you need to do. 454 00:30:47,800 --> 00:30:50,560 Speaker 6: A lot of his recruit recruits, Jeff, and recruiting I 455 00:30:51,040 --> 00:30:53,720 Speaker 6: militarian and women were telling them they were going to 456 00:30:53,720 --> 00:30:58,200 Speaker 6: become citizens. What they need to do is either not 457 00:30:58,440 --> 00:31:05,480 Speaker 6: unlist anyone who is not a United States citizen upon 458 00:31:05,600 --> 00:31:09,320 Speaker 6: dismissal from the United States military, make sure they have 459 00:31:09,440 --> 00:31:13,880 Speaker 6: their citizenship in hand, because if we start demoralizing are 460 00:31:13,960 --> 00:31:17,960 Speaker 6: men and women and men and women in uniform, that 461 00:31:18,160 --> 00:31:22,960 Speaker 6: is that is the most that is the scariest thing 462 00:31:22,960 --> 00:31:23,760 Speaker 6: that I right. 463 00:31:23,880 --> 00:31:27,040 Speaker 1: No, you can't demoralize the military. You demoralize the military, 464 00:31:27,080 --> 00:31:31,680 Speaker 1: you're finished. I mean, you're basically defenseless. I mean that's 465 00:31:31,920 --> 00:31:34,160 Speaker 1: you know on that You and I, as usual CJ, 466 00:31:34,320 --> 00:31:38,479 Speaker 1: are one in agreement. Look, I'll be brutally honest with you. 467 00:31:38,520 --> 00:31:41,200 Speaker 1: I don't want to get too sidetracked, but I I 468 00:31:41,240 --> 00:31:44,320 Speaker 1: don't like the idea of a mercenary military. What I 469 00:31:44,360 --> 00:31:47,800 Speaker 1: mean by that is taking people who are not citizens. Now, 470 00:31:47,840 --> 00:31:49,880 Speaker 1: I'm sure he was a good man, and I'm sure 471 00:31:49,880 --> 00:31:53,640 Speaker 1: he served our country honorably and proudly. But in general, 472 00:31:53,800 --> 00:31:57,360 Speaker 1: I don't like taking people from other countries who are 473 00:31:57,360 --> 00:32:01,800 Speaker 1: not Americans and then almost brought them saying well, you 474 00:32:01,840 --> 00:32:04,760 Speaker 1: fight for us, or you serve in our military whatever, 475 00:32:04,920 --> 00:32:08,040 Speaker 1: five years, seven years, ten years, whatever it is. And 476 00:32:08,080 --> 00:32:13,640 Speaker 1: then we'll give you a you know, citizenship to me Americans, 477 00:32:13,640 --> 00:32:17,920 Speaker 1: and only Americans should serve in the US military. But 478 00:32:18,040 --> 00:32:22,240 Speaker 1: that's me, CJ. People may agree or disagree. Thank you 479 00:32:22,400 --> 00:32:25,360 Speaker 1: very much for that call. I really appreciate it. A 480 00:32:25,480 --> 00:32:29,160 Speaker 1: look on the larger point about the war, you know, 481 00:32:29,320 --> 00:32:31,200 Speaker 1: this is again I don't want to go back to 482 00:32:31,280 --> 00:32:36,520 Speaker 1: the Japan example that I made earlier, but Japan militarily 483 00:32:36,720 --> 00:32:42,320 Speaker 1: was absolutely crushed by you know, January, February, March of 484 00:32:42,400 --> 00:32:46,880 Speaker 1: nineteen forty five. I mean, Tokyo was raised to the ground. 485 00:32:47,800 --> 00:32:54,040 Speaker 1: Their military was sustaining massive losses. They were completely beaten 486 00:32:54,160 --> 00:32:56,160 Speaker 1: on the battlefront. I mean, we were losing a lot 487 00:32:56,160 --> 00:32:59,360 Speaker 1: of people as who were you know, island hopping and 488 00:32:59,680 --> 00:33:03,840 Speaker 1: getting closer to the main islands. But anybody who was 489 00:33:03,880 --> 00:33:07,320 Speaker 1: you know, semi rational with any kind of sense of 490 00:33:07,360 --> 00:33:11,440 Speaker 1: reality said, this thing is over. You can't win, you 491 00:33:11,600 --> 00:33:15,840 Speaker 1: just can't. And these fanatics fought on and fought on, 492 00:33:16,320 --> 00:33:20,720 Speaker 1: and fought on and fought on, even though they were defenseless. 493 00:33:21,320 --> 00:33:25,160 Speaker 1: We had complete air dominance. We were bombing them at will, 494 00:33:26,040 --> 00:33:30,360 Speaker 1: We were killing them in record numbers. Their navy was 495 00:33:30,720 --> 00:33:35,160 Speaker 1: shattered gone, and again we just kept pounding them and 496 00:33:35,240 --> 00:33:38,880 Speaker 1: pounding them, and now was time for a land invasion. 497 00:33:38,960 --> 00:33:42,600 Speaker 1: And when they showed Truman the numbers of how many 498 00:33:42,640 --> 00:33:45,560 Speaker 1: Americans were going to die in a land invasion of 499 00:33:45,600 --> 00:33:49,320 Speaker 1: the Japanese home islands, we were looking at half a million, 500 00:33:49,440 --> 00:33:53,520 Speaker 1: seven hundred and fifty thousand, maybe even a million troops dead. 501 00:33:54,440 --> 00:33:57,000 Speaker 1: And Truman said, I'm not going to sustain these kind 502 00:33:57,000 --> 00:34:01,120 Speaker 1: of losses, and I have a bomb that could potentially 503 00:34:01,200 --> 00:34:05,880 Speaker 1: end this war without losing a single more in terms 504 00:34:05,920 --> 00:34:09,600 Speaker 1: of an American life. So he said, go drop one, 505 00:34:10,480 --> 00:34:14,360 Speaker 1: and then to a shock in horror, they still refused 506 00:34:14,360 --> 00:34:18,840 Speaker 1: to surrender. So he said drop a second one, Hiroshima, 507 00:34:18,960 --> 00:34:23,920 Speaker 1: and then Nagasaki. And what is remarkable is even after 508 00:34:24,360 --> 00:34:30,200 Speaker 1: two atomic bombs, and the Japanese were fully aware of 509 00:34:30,239 --> 00:34:35,800 Speaker 1: the absolute devastation of those two bombs, they still said 510 00:34:36,120 --> 00:34:41,160 Speaker 1: fight on. And it was the Emperor, to his eternal credit, 511 00:34:41,520 --> 00:34:45,600 Speaker 1: who stepped in, overrode his generals, overrode the military government, 512 00:34:45,880 --> 00:34:49,840 Speaker 1: and said we're surrendering. It's over. And to show you 513 00:34:49,920 --> 00:34:53,600 Speaker 1: the level of fanaticism, they felt such shame and dishonor 514 00:34:53,640 --> 00:34:56,759 Speaker 1: at losing the war that many of them committed Harry kiri. 515 00:34:57,680 --> 00:34:59,200 Speaker 1: You know, they look like a samurai. They went on 516 00:34:59,239 --> 00:35:01,920 Speaker 1: a samurai ro they took out their swords and they 517 00:35:02,040 --> 00:35:04,239 Speaker 1: you know, you know, through the stomach, the intestines, and 518 00:35:04,239 --> 00:35:07,759 Speaker 1: you disembowel yourself. So they committed mass There were mass 519 00:35:07,880 --> 00:35:14,440 Speaker 1: suicides across Japan. So what I'm saying is that Trump 520 00:35:14,960 --> 00:35:19,680 Speaker 1: is coming up not against a rational opponent, but a 521 00:35:19,719 --> 00:35:23,880 Speaker 1: fanatical opponent like you know, the Japanese, the Imperial Japanese, 522 00:35:23,920 --> 00:35:28,800 Speaker 1: the fascist Japanese of World War Two. Militarily you're beaten. 523 00:35:30,040 --> 00:35:32,880 Speaker 1: You know, it's almost like Truman would say, well, what 524 00:35:33,040 --> 00:35:37,240 Speaker 1: is there left to bomb? And now we're just bombing cities. 525 00:35:37,880 --> 00:35:43,600 Speaker 1: Now it's just civilians, that's all it is. Militarily, they're done. 526 00:35:44,480 --> 00:35:47,840 Speaker 1: Any normal, sane army would say, okay, we're just in. 527 00:35:48,600 --> 00:35:51,799 Speaker 1: What it is now is you're just losing people. You're 528 00:35:51,880 --> 00:35:56,759 Speaker 1: just inflicting loss upon loss upon loss upon loss. It's senseless, 529 00:35:57,080 --> 00:36:03,080 Speaker 1: it's suicidal. And the Mullahs are at that point where 530 00:36:03,080 --> 00:36:05,359 Speaker 1: they're just going to say, just keep bombing, just bomb, 531 00:36:05,440 --> 00:36:10,040 Speaker 1: we don't care bomb, bomb, bomb and kill civilians. We 532 00:36:10,080 --> 00:36:15,720 Speaker 1: don't care destroy more of Tehran. We don't care destroy 533 00:36:15,800 --> 00:36:20,200 Speaker 1: more of our other cities. We don't care as long 534 00:36:20,239 --> 00:36:23,280 Speaker 1: as we can keep mining and blocking the strait of Hormus, 535 00:36:23,280 --> 00:36:27,200 Speaker 1: and eventually we'll just wait you out, and then we'll 536 00:36:27,239 --> 00:36:30,279 Speaker 1: claim a victory, a moral victory. We took everything they 537 00:36:30,320 --> 00:36:35,640 Speaker 1: had and we're still standing. And they believe that that's 538 00:36:35,800 --> 00:36:38,960 Speaker 1: enough for them. The prestige of with you know, of 539 00:36:39,000 --> 00:36:43,360 Speaker 1: withstanding this punishment, they believe is enough for them to 540 00:36:43,440 --> 00:36:47,680 Speaker 1: declare victory. But in the end, what if they won nothing. 541 00:36:47,880 --> 00:36:52,799 Speaker 1: Their country's in rubble, their military, their nuclear program, their 542 00:36:52,880 --> 00:36:57,320 Speaker 1: air defenses, their army, their navy, their their their air force. 543 00:36:57,400 --> 00:37:03,320 Speaker 1: It's it's it's ash. But that's the kind of leadership 544 00:37:03,360 --> 00:37:04,240 Speaker 1: you have in place.
