Here on Twin City's 19 00:01:19,160 --> 00:01:21,200 Speaker 4: News Talk I Am eleven thirty and one oh three 20 00:01:21,520 --> 00:01:22,119 Speaker 4: five FM. 21 00:01:22,160 --> 00:01:24,600 Speaker 1: We have a very very busy show today. 22 00:01:24,920 --> 00:01:26,920 Speaker 4: We're going to talk about how we're going to war 23 00:01:26,959 --> 00:01:29,200 Speaker 4: with Iran, and nobody seems to be aware of this. 24 00:01:32,440 --> 00:01:35,920 Speaker 4: I'm not even kidding, Like nobody has been Like none 25 00:01:35,920 --> 00:01:40,160 Speaker 4: of the news media has been covering what is the 26 00:01:40,360 --> 00:01:46,440 Speaker 4: largest military build up across the board in the Middle 27 00:01:46,440 --> 00:01:49,720 Speaker 4: East since the Gulf War. I don't think most people 28 00:01:49,760 --> 00:01:52,480 Speaker 4: really have a true grasp because the media just has 29 00:01:52,600 --> 00:01:54,040 Speaker 4: not been talking about it. 30 00:01:54,080 --> 00:01:55,240 Speaker 1: But they may be talking about it. 31 00:01:55,200 --> 00:01:59,000 Speaker 4: Soon because apparently there could be strikes on Iran that 32 00:01:59,080 --> 00:02:01,520 Speaker 4: we take the lead on as early as this weekend. 33 00:02:01,560 --> 00:02:03,120 Speaker 1: So I'll get you up to speed on that. 34 00:02:03,240 --> 00:02:06,360 Speaker 4: We'll talk about the latest regarding the legislative session. 35 00:02:07,000 --> 00:02:10,919 Speaker 1: Also, I'm laughing. 36 00:02:10,680 --> 00:02:13,280 Speaker 4: Because as I was going through my prep this morning, 37 00:02:13,919 --> 00:02:16,480 Speaker 4: I had stories popping up that ended up relating to 38 00:02:16,560 --> 00:02:20,880 Speaker 4: one another and more specifically my commentary. What I'm talking about, 39 00:02:20,919 --> 00:02:22,800 Speaker 4: and I'll get into in the seven o'clock hour, is 40 00:02:22,800 --> 00:02:27,120 Speaker 4: that the memorial for Renee Nicole Gooden was set on 41 00:02:27,160 --> 00:02:30,080 Speaker 4: fire on Tuesday, and there's an investigation that's launched, and 42 00:02:30,520 --> 00:02:33,560 Speaker 4: I have my thoughts on what has transpired and that 43 00:02:33,680 --> 00:02:37,760 Speaker 4: memorial and the dangers of having a memorial like that 44 00:02:37,880 --> 00:02:40,360 Speaker 4: for too long a period of time, and what could 45 00:02:40,360 --> 00:02:44,280 Speaker 4: potentially be the negative consequences of that. And then subsequently, 46 00:02:44,400 --> 00:02:46,840 Speaker 4: right after I was writing down my notes for that story, 47 00:02:46,880 --> 00:02:51,600 Speaker 4: I found another story wherein Democrats are attempting to go 48 00:02:51,760 --> 00:02:58,000 Speaker 4: and make these memorials permanent. We do have a Gone 49 00:02:58,040 --> 00:03:01,520 Speaker 4: Green update that hopefully we'll get to much later in 50 00:03:01,560 --> 00:03:03,720 Speaker 4: the show as well. A lot of ground to cover, 51 00:03:03,800 --> 00:03:07,240 Speaker 4: but let's start here from the Wall Street Journal, and 52 00:03:07,280 --> 00:03:09,200 Speaker 4: it was really Axios, and I'll share with you some 53 00:03:09,240 --> 00:03:11,960 Speaker 4: of the details from Axios. It was really Axios that 54 00:03:13,000 --> 00:03:14,680 Speaker 4: broke the initial reporting on this. 55 00:03:15,040 --> 00:03:16,560 Speaker 1: For those that have been paying close. 56 00:03:16,320 --> 00:03:18,120 Speaker 4: Attention, and I've been watching over the course of the 57 00:03:18,120 --> 00:03:22,880 Speaker 4: past week the military build up as the negotiations with 58 00:03:22,960 --> 00:03:27,440 Speaker 4: Iran over their nuclear programs continue. But it was really 59 00:03:27,480 --> 00:03:31,600 Speaker 4: Axios that broke the story that is now driving much 60 00:03:31,600 --> 00:03:34,800 Speaker 4: of the reporting that's been taking place. The Wall Street 61 00:03:34,840 --> 00:03:37,440 Speaker 4: Journal piggybacking off that said, the US is ready to 62 00:03:37,440 --> 00:03:41,520 Speaker 4: take action against Iran. President Donald Trump hasn't decided whether 63 00:03:41,560 --> 00:03:45,200 Speaker 4: to order strikes, or if he does order them, whether 64 00:03:45,240 --> 00:03:48,920 Speaker 4: the aim would be to halt Iran's already battered nuclear program, 65 00:03:49,240 --> 00:03:51,760 Speaker 4: wipe out its missile force, or try to topple the regime. 66 00:03:51,960 --> 00:03:54,000 Speaker 4: Most of the experts right now are pointing to this 67 00:03:54,040 --> 00:03:56,880 Speaker 4: is a regime change that we're looking at, that this 68 00:03:56,920 --> 00:04:00,080 Speaker 4: is not about the nuclear weapons program. The protests that 69 00:04:00,080 --> 00:04:02,520 Speaker 4: have been taking place, the regime on the brink, in 70 00:04:02,640 --> 00:04:07,000 Speaker 4: or on. This might be a tactic, a massive show 71 00:04:07,120 --> 00:04:10,960 Speaker 4: of force to bring Oran to the table. Apparently there 72 00:04:11,000 --> 00:04:15,720 Speaker 4: are other leaders waiting in the wings, willing and ready 73 00:04:15,760 --> 00:04:19,480 Speaker 4: to step up to replace the current Iranian regime. But 74 00:04:19,600 --> 00:04:22,400 Speaker 4: most of the analysts right now are pointing to this 75 00:04:22,640 --> 00:04:25,240 Speaker 4: not being about the nuclear weapons program and more about 76 00:04:25,240 --> 00:04:27,360 Speaker 4: a regime change. And there's a lot that comes with that, 77 00:04:27,480 --> 00:04:29,680 Speaker 4: and a lot that we as Americans are going to 78 00:04:29,720 --> 00:04:31,839 Speaker 4: have to discuss if that is the case. 79 00:04:31,920 --> 00:04:33,320 Speaker 1: I am in support of this. 80 00:04:33,440 --> 00:04:36,000 Speaker 4: I will explain why coming up a little bit later 81 00:04:36,040 --> 00:04:39,039 Speaker 4: on in the hour. The options, according to the Wall 82 00:04:39,040 --> 00:04:41,880 Speaker 4: Street Journal, include a campaign to kill scores of Iranian 83 00:04:41,920 --> 00:04:44,719 Speaker 4: and political leaders with a goal of overthrowing the government 84 00:04:45,360 --> 00:04:47,599 Speaker 4: according to US and foreign officials, as well as an 85 00:04:47,640 --> 00:04:50,680 Speaker 4: air attack that would be limited to striking targets including 86 00:04:50,960 --> 00:04:55,200 Speaker 4: the nuclear and ballistic missile facilities. Both would involve potentially 87 00:04:55,279 --> 00:04:58,400 Speaker 4: a week's long operation. And when you consider what took 88 00:04:58,400 --> 00:05:01,279 Speaker 4: place with Maduro in venez Whala, that almost felt like 89 00:05:01,279 --> 00:05:07,440 Speaker 4: a tea up. Let's test out the discombobulator, see how 90 00:05:07,480 --> 00:05:09,760 Speaker 4: successful it is. And of course we know the success 91 00:05:09,800 --> 00:05:13,040 Speaker 4: of what took place in that operation some advisors and 92 00:05:13,080 --> 00:05:17,360 Speaker 4: foreign leaders, such as Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, are 93 00:05:17,400 --> 00:05:19,880 Speaker 4: telling Trump that he should use the military pressure to 94 00:05:19,920 --> 00:05:23,919 Speaker 4: squeeze more concessions out of Tehran. Israel wants, in particular 95 00:05:24,160 --> 00:05:27,039 Speaker 4: to see an end to their ballistic missiles production. The 96 00:05:27,160 --> 00:05:30,719 Speaker 4: US military and its stealth technology and stand off precision 97 00:05:30,760 --> 00:05:34,440 Speaker 4: weapons has an overwhelming advantage over Iran, whose air defenses 98 00:05:34,480 --> 00:05:38,680 Speaker 4: were battled by were battered by Israel last year. Here 99 00:05:38,800 --> 00:05:42,240 Speaker 4: is some of the reporting. This is Trey Yinkst on 100 00:05:42,320 --> 00:05:47,640 Speaker 4: the ground in Israel talking about the latest yesterday regarding 101 00:05:47,640 --> 00:05:49,559 Speaker 4: the build up of military forces in the region. 102 00:05:49,720 --> 00:05:53,440 Speaker 5: A massive amount of US military equipment continues to flood 103 00:05:53,560 --> 00:05:57,120 Speaker 5: into the Middle East in preparation for action against Iran. 104 00:05:57,440 --> 00:05:58,480 Speaker 1: Reports to indicate the. 105 00:05:58,520 --> 00:06:01,080 Speaker 5: US has moved more than FI fifty fighter jets to 106 00:06:01,080 --> 00:06:04,800 Speaker 5: the region over the past twenty four hours alone, Along 107 00:06:04,800 --> 00:06:08,080 Speaker 5: with the USS Abraham Lincoln Carrier Strike Group already in 108 00:06:08,080 --> 00:06:11,000 Speaker 5: place and the USS Gerald R. Ford on the way, 109 00:06:11,200 --> 00:06:13,800 Speaker 5: There are a variety of other US Navy assets in 110 00:06:13,839 --> 00:06:17,240 Speaker 5: the Red and Mediterranean seas. While talks on Tuesday left 111 00:06:17,279 --> 00:06:20,080 Speaker 5: both sides saying that progress was made, there are still 112 00:06:20,120 --> 00:06:23,600 Speaker 5: major questions about Iran's willingness to curb their nuclear program 113 00:06:23,880 --> 00:06:27,039 Speaker 5: or address the growing regional ballistic missile threat. Yesterday on 114 00:06:27,080 --> 00:06:31,480 Speaker 5: Fox News, Vice President JD. Vance was asked about the negotiations. 115 00:06:31,560 --> 00:06:32,800 Speaker 1: Agreed to meet afterwards. 116 00:06:32,800 --> 00:06:34,720 Speaker 6: But in other way is it was very clear that 117 00:06:34,760 --> 00:06:37,800 Speaker 6: the President has set some red lines that the Iranians 118 00:06:37,880 --> 00:06:41,680 Speaker 6: are not yet willing to actually acknowledge and work through. 119 00:06:41,760 --> 00:06:43,520 Speaker 1: So we're going to keep on working up. But of 120 00:06:43,560 --> 00:06:44,800 Speaker 1: course the President. 121 00:06:44,560 --> 00:06:47,919 Speaker 6: Reserves the ability to say when he thinks that diplomacy 122 00:06:47,960 --> 00:06:50,400 Speaker 6: has reached its natural end. We hope it will get 123 00:06:50,440 --> 00:06:51,760 Speaker 6: to that point, but if we do, that'll be the 124 00:06:51,760 --> 00:06:52,400 Speaker 6: president's call. 125 00:06:54,080 --> 00:06:56,680 Speaker 5: The Iranians continue to threaten the United States, from the 126 00:06:56,680 --> 00:07:00,000 Speaker 5: Supreme Leader to lower level commanders. The IRGC has promised 127 00:07:00,080 --> 00:07:03,040 Speaker 5: to go after American military interest in the event of 128 00:07:03,120 --> 00:07:06,000 Speaker 5: escalation in the region. Around's president has tried to strike 129 00:07:06,040 --> 00:07:09,200 Speaker 5: a more diplomatic tone on nuclear issues despite the threatening 130 00:07:09,240 --> 00:07:11,400 Speaker 5: rhetoric from the rest of Iranian leadership. 131 00:07:14,080 --> 00:07:17,000 Speaker 7: We have stated these many times. My own statements are 132 00:07:17,040 --> 00:07:20,720 Speaker 7: not important. What matters from an ideological standpoint is the 133 00:07:20,760 --> 00:07:24,080 Speaker 7: policy and the fautois of the Supreme Leader. We are 134 00:07:24,080 --> 00:07:28,040 Speaker 7: in no way seeking nuclear weapons, whatever form of verification 135 00:07:28,240 --> 00:07:30,480 Speaker 7: they want to carry out. We are ready for that 136 00:07:30,600 --> 00:07:32,640 Speaker 7: verification to take place. 137 00:07:33,880 --> 00:07:37,120 Speaker 5: Here in Israel. Officials reportedly believe war could erupt in 138 00:07:37,160 --> 00:07:39,960 Speaker 5: a matter of days and are preparing accordingly. 139 00:07:40,480 --> 00:07:41,600 Speaker 1: So we'll keep on this. 140 00:07:41,760 --> 00:07:44,240 Speaker 4: I want to bring you some of the reports out 141 00:07:44,240 --> 00:07:50,920 Speaker 4: of Axios also online.

And hey, I 147 00:08:06,680 --> 00:08:09,040 Speaker 4: was I was right in my initial assessment. Thank you 148 00:08:09,120 --> 00:08:12,680 Speaker 4: to a friend of the show, Ton and others.

Sources noted that it would likely be a 170 00:09:22,000 --> 00:09:26,679 Speaker 4: joint US Israeli campaign, much broader in scope and more 171 00:09:26,840 --> 00:09:31,439 Speaker 4: existential for the regime than the Israeli led Twelve Day 172 00:09:31,480 --> 00:09:35,440 Speaker 4: War last June, which the US eventually joined to take 173 00:09:35,480 --> 00:09:39,600 Speaker 4: out Iran's underground nuclear facilities. In such a war would 174 00:09:39,640 --> 00:09:42,200 Speaker 4: have a dramatic influence on the entire region and major 175 00:09:42,240 --> 00:09:46,120 Speaker 4: implications for the remaining three years of Trump's presidency. Again, 176 00:09:46,200 --> 00:09:50,120 Speaker 4: working off the Axios article, with the attention of Congress 177 00:09:50,120 --> 00:09:53,960 Speaker 4: and the public otherwise occupied, there's very little public debate 178 00:09:54,000 --> 00:09:57,000 Speaker 4: about what could be the most consequential US military intervention 179 00:09:57,080 --> 00:09:59,600 Speaker 4: in the Middle East in the last decade. Listen, you 180 00:09:59,600 --> 00:10:02,680 Speaker 4: go to some the reporting here, and I'm looking at 181 00:10:02,720 --> 00:10:06,400 Speaker 4: some of the posts from ocint Defender online. For example, yesterday, 182 00:10:06,640 --> 00:10:09,800 Speaker 4: one of the busiest days for the US Air Force 183 00:10:09,880 --> 00:10:14,760 Speaker 4: in Europe seen in recent history. Close to a dozen 184 00:10:14,960 --> 00:10:18,520 Speaker 4: casey one thirty five RT Strata tankers airborne across the 185 00:10:18,559 --> 00:10:21,480 Speaker 4: Mediterranean and off the Ghost of Spain, while a steady 186 00:10:21,520 --> 00:10:25,120 Speaker 4: line of C seventeen a g Lobe Master threes seen 187 00:10:25,200 --> 00:10:28,320 Speaker 4: heading toward and returning from bases in the Middle East. 188 00:10:29,520 --> 00:10:32,720 Speaker 4: This Israel has raised its alert level, stepping up military 189 00:10:32,720 --> 00:10:36,760 Speaker 4: preparations amid the growing indications of a potential joint to 190 00:10:36,840 --> 00:10:40,760 Speaker 4: American Israeli attack on Iran in the coming days. According 191 00:10:40,800 --> 00:10:45,480 Speaker 4: to sources to a CNN, the Israeli Home Front Command 192 00:10:45,960 --> 00:10:48,480 Speaker 4: has been instructed to prepare for a full scale war 193 00:10:48,600 --> 00:10:52,400 Speaker 4: with Iran at a high level. Defense alert has been 194 00:10:52,440 --> 00:10:55,880 Speaker 4: declared across Israel as well. Yeah, again, the amount of hardware, 195 00:10:56,040 --> 00:10:59,199 Speaker 4: that's just a sample of the amount of hardware in 196 00:10:59,240 --> 00:11:02,319 Speaker 4: the region right now. Now again, it's the most military 197 00:11:02,360 --> 00:11:05,040 Speaker 4: that we've had in that area going. 198 00:11:04,840 --> 00:11:06,880 Speaker 1: Back to the Gulf War, and it's eclipsed that. 199 00:11:09,440 --> 00:11:09,600 Speaker 8: Now. 200 00:11:09,640 --> 00:11:12,000 Speaker 1: Trump came close to striking. 201 00:11:11,559 --> 00:11:15,360 Speaker 4: Iran in early January over the killing of the thousands 202 00:11:15,360 --> 00:11:18,800 Speaker 4: of protesters by the regime, but when the window of 203 00:11:18,840 --> 00:11:22,480 Speaker 4: opportunity passed and the administration shifted to a two track approach, 204 00:11:22,720 --> 00:11:26,280 Speaker 4: the nuclear talks paired with a massive military. 205 00:11:25,760 --> 00:11:26,800 Speaker 1: Build up that ensued. 206 00:11:26,920 --> 00:11:30,040 Speaker 4: And as I disagree with some of the assessments made 207 00:11:30,240 --> 00:11:33,800 Speaker 4: by Axios here, Trump is a negotiator and what he's 208 00:11:33,880 --> 00:11:39,920 Speaker 4: doing right now could be a massive negotiation tactic. Put 209 00:11:39,960 --> 00:11:44,720 Speaker 4: all this military might on the doorstep of Iran while 210 00:11:44,760 --> 00:11:48,640 Speaker 4: you work on substantial negotiations regarding their nuclear program and 211 00:11:48,840 --> 00:11:54,640 Speaker 4: even perhaps a regime change from within without military intervention. 212 00:11:55,280 --> 00:11:57,600 Speaker 4: If the talks break down, then we have options on 213 00:11:57,640 --> 00:11:59,319 Speaker 4: the table. And from what it looks like, the talks 214 00:11:59,360 --> 00:12:02,920 Speaker 4: are not going as well as the administration and others 215 00:12:02,960 --> 00:12:06,800 Speaker 4: would hope, delaying and bringing so much force to bear. 216 00:12:06,880 --> 00:12:10,040 Speaker 4: Trump has now raised expectations for an operation and what 217 00:12:10,120 --> 00:12:12,720 Speaker 4: it would look like if a deal can't be reached, 218 00:12:13,600 --> 00:12:16,000 Speaker 4: And as Axios is reporting and I just mentioned as 219 00:12:16,000 --> 00:12:18,720 Speaker 4: if right now a deal does not look likely, both 220 00:12:18,760 --> 00:12:21,920 Speaker 4: sides said the talks made progress, but the gaps are 221 00:12:21,960 --> 00:12:25,440 Speaker 4: wide and US officials aren't too optimistic about closing them, 222 00:12:25,480 --> 00:12:27,920 Speaker 4: and there's a lot of speculation that Iran is delaying 223 00:12:28,920 --> 00:12:32,199 Speaker 4: coming to any sort of agreement, trying to call our 224 00:12:32,240 --> 00:12:34,160 Speaker 4: bluff while we try to go and call their bluff. 225 00:12:35,320 --> 00:12:38,800 Speaker 4: Vice President jd Vance told Fox News the talks went 226 00:12:38,880 --> 00:12:41,040 Speaker 4: well in some ways, but in other ways it was 227 00:12:41,120 --> 00:12:43,800 Speaker 4: very clear the President has set some redlines and the 228 00:12:43,840 --> 00:12:46,960 Speaker 4: Iranians are not yet willing to actually acknowledge or work 229 00:12:47,000 --> 00:12:50,480 Speaker 4: through them. He did make it clear that Trump wants 230 00:12:50,520 --> 00:12:53,240 Speaker 4: a deal, and it could determine that diplomacy has reached 231 00:12:53,280 --> 00:12:56,240 Speaker 4: its natural end. The standoff with Iran has gone on 232 00:12:56,360 --> 00:12:58,920 Speaker 4: so long that many Americans, again are likely numb to it. 233 00:12:59,240 --> 00:13:01,360 Speaker 4: The media hasn't talking about this at all. It's been 234 00:13:01,440 --> 00:13:04,360 Speaker 4: kind of comical. Actually, I put up a post on 235 00:13:04,400 --> 00:13:06,960 Speaker 4: social media just over the fact that I don't think 236 00:13:07,160 --> 00:13:10,680 Speaker 4: the vast majority of Americans are even aware of how 237 00:13:10,720 --> 00:13:14,400 Speaker 4: close we are right now to a war with Iran. 238 00:13:14,520 --> 00:13:16,680 Speaker 4: I don't think most Americans are even aware of the 239 00:13:16,720 --> 00:13:21,239 Speaker 4: amount of military unless you are actually serving in the military, 240 00:13:21,559 --> 00:13:24,600 Speaker 4: or a part of a family who has members that 241 00:13:24,640 --> 00:13:27,840 Speaker 4: are serving in our armed forces. The Israeli government, which 242 00:13:27,880 --> 00:13:32,920 Speaker 4: is pushing for a maximalist scenario targeting the regime change 243 00:13:32,960 --> 00:13:36,880 Speaker 4: as well as it's Iran's nuclear and missile programs, is preparing, 244 00:13:36,880 --> 00:13:40,120 Speaker 4: according to the report from Axios, for a scenario of 245 00:13:40,200 --> 00:13:46,720 Speaker 4: war within days. There's no evidence a diplomatic breakthrough with 246 00:13:46,800 --> 00:13:49,559 Speaker 4: Iran is on the horizon. More and more evidence that 247 00:13:49,679 --> 00:13:53,120 Speaker 4: war is eminent now again. As of yesterday, a couple 248 00:13:53,120 --> 00:13:55,320 Speaker 4: of posts that I found online regarding this for most 249 00:13:55,320 --> 00:13:59,360 Speaker 4: In Defender, Israeli officials assessed the zero hour may just 250 00:13:59,360 --> 00:14:00,080 Speaker 4: be days away. 251 00:14:00,120 --> 00:14:00,960 Speaker 1: This was yesterday. 252 00:14:01,840 --> 00:14:08,680 Speaker 4: Multiple indicators, some undisclosed, pointing to potentially imminent escalations. Israeli 253 00:14:08,720 --> 00:14:11,040 Speaker 4: media outlets have been claiming the US is about to 254 00:14:11,080 --> 00:14:14,920 Speaker 4: attack Iran. They've been doing this since early January. Osin 255 00:14:15,000 --> 00:14:17,560 Speaker 4: Defender went on to write, the Trump administration is preparing 256 00:14:17,600 --> 00:14:20,360 Speaker 4: for a major war that would likely consist of a 257 00:14:20,400 --> 00:14:24,080 Speaker 4: massive weeks long campaign by Israel in the United States 258 00:14:24,600 --> 00:14:27,600 Speaker 4: that would look more like a full fledged war than 259 00:14:27,640 --> 00:14:31,960 Speaker 4: the last month and the Pinpoint operation in Venezuela. Again, 260 00:14:31,960 --> 00:14:35,160 Speaker 4: according to Axios, the Boss is getting fed up. Some 261 00:14:35,200 --> 00:14:41,760 Speaker 4: people around him are warning about going to war with Iran. 262 00:14:41,800 --> 00:14:44,480 Speaker 4: But think there's a ninety percent chance we see kinetic 263 00:14:44,520 --> 00:14:47,760 Speaker 4: action in the next few weeks Israeli government, which again 264 00:14:47,800 --> 00:14:50,640 Speaker 4: is pushing for the scenario of a regime change and 265 00:14:50,640 --> 00:14:56,200 Speaker 4: then stopping the nuclear weapon and missile program. Listen, In 266 00:14:56,240 --> 00:14:59,200 Speaker 4: my opinion, this is not about necessarily starting a new war, 267 00:14:59,240 --> 00:15:02,040 Speaker 4: even though this would be what is taking place, but 268 00:15:02,160 --> 00:15:05,840 Speaker 4: ultimately preventing a larger one where our allies are at 269 00:15:05,880 --> 00:15:10,320 Speaker 4: a disadvantage with the moves being made in Venezuela, with 270 00:15:10,400 --> 00:15:14,240 Speaker 4: what we're seeing right now in terms of expectations on 271 00:15:14,880 --> 00:15:18,400 Speaker 4: Taiwan and China, there's a lot of volatility right now. 272 00:15:18,440 --> 00:15:24,840 Speaker 4: But Trump clearly wants to maximize his time in office 273 00:15:26,560 --> 00:15:29,760 Speaker 4: to bring about peace on the global stage, and in 274 00:15:29,800 --> 00:15:35,080 Speaker 4: doing so, he's taking a peace through strength approach. The 275 00:15:35,160 --> 00:15:39,920 Speaker 4: time of meek and feckless leadership is over, regardless of 276 00:15:39,960 --> 00:15:44,200 Speaker 4: the political or electoral fallout, because this probably would not 277 00:15:44,360 --> 00:15:47,600 Speaker 4: bode well when it comes to the elections later this year, 278 00:15:48,160 --> 00:15:50,560 Speaker 4: probably would be a strain on the economy. I don't 279 00:15:50,600 --> 00:15:53,040 Speaker 4: deny that at all if we got into a war, 280 00:15:53,120 --> 00:15:55,800 Speaker 4: depending on how things played out, if the operation ended 281 00:15:55,880 --> 00:15:59,840 Speaker 4: up being as smooth as Venezuela, fantastic, But this is 282 00:15:59,840 --> 00:16:04,280 Speaker 4: a much more complicated situation fighting back against an enemy 283 00:16:04,520 --> 00:16:08,400 Speaker 4: that also has the chance to fight back against our 284 00:16:08,440 --> 00:16:14,000 Speaker 4: allies and us as well. But doing the right thing, 285 00:16:14,160 --> 00:16:17,360 Speaker 4: meaning you do what is necessary. I have further examples 286 00:16:17,360 --> 00:16:21,920 Speaker 4: of this later on, because Trump yesterday, talking about what's 287 00:16:21,960 --> 00:16:25,160 Speaker 4: been taking place here in the United States, says he 288 00:16:25,160 --> 00:16:27,920 Speaker 4: could possibly issue an executive order on voter ID at 289 00:16:27,920 --> 00:16:30,720 Speaker 4: the legislation ends up failing now legally, whether or not 290 00:16:30,760 --> 00:16:33,120 Speaker 4: he can actually do that remains to be seen, but 291 00:16:33,240 --> 00:16:36,680 Speaker 4: it does go and point to again Trump is eager 292 00:16:36,720 --> 00:16:40,960 Speaker 4: to maximize his presidency and is doing what he feels 293 00:16:41,200 --> 00:16:44,520 Speaker 4: is necessary, not only on the global stage, but also 294 00:16:44,600 --> 00:16:51,400 Speaker 4: within the United States, even at the risk of midterm elections. 295 00:16:52,480 --> 00:16:56,520 Speaker 4: So coming up one more item on note Trump meeting 296 00:16:56,520 --> 00:16:59,080 Speaker 4: with advisors on IRAN. I'll play you some audio from 297 00:16:59,120 --> 00:17:01,760 Speaker 4: Ted Cruz and Carol Line Levett. Also what it would 298 00:17:01,920 --> 00:17:05,560 Speaker 4: entail this executive ID that Trump was talking about yesterday, 299 00:17:05,640 --> 00:17:09,120 Speaker 4: And moving over to the issue of immigration, the Department 300 00:17:09,160 --> 00:17:13,040 Speaker 4: of Transportation is now targeting transit aid for illegal migrants. 301 00:17:13,080 --> 00:17:14,840 Speaker 4: I'll give you details on that and we will hear 302 00:17:14,880 --> 00:17:17,760 Speaker 4: from you and the iHeartRadio app those talkback's brought to 303 00:17:17,760 --> 00:17:20,280 Speaker 4: you by Lyndahl Realty next right here on Twin City's 304 00:17:20,280 --> 00:17:22,240 Speaker 4: News Talk Am eleven thirty and one oh three five 305 00:17:22,359 --> 00:17:24,040 Speaker 4: FM Heart radio station. 306 00:17:32,960 --> 00:17:35,439 Speaker 8: What threat does Iran pose to America? 307 00:17:35,800 --> 00:17:36,080 Speaker 9: None? 308 00:17:36,480 --> 00:17:37,160 Speaker 10: Zero? 309 00:17:37,480 --> 00:17:41,320 Speaker 11: What threat do they pose to Israel's donors and lobbyists 310 00:17:41,560 --> 00:17:43,720 Speaker 11: that pay off our politicians A bunch? 311 00:17:44,119 --> 00:17:46,679 Speaker 9: This is not our war. What are we doing? 312 00:17:47,359 --> 00:17:52,000 Speaker 1: Peace through strength? Baby? What threat does were on post 313 00:17:52,040 --> 00:17:53,240 Speaker 1: to America? None zero. 314 00:17:53,440 --> 00:17:56,320 Speaker 4: I disagree with that. Our allies have been threatened for 315 00:17:56,359 --> 00:17:59,960 Speaker 4: a long long time. This regime is on the brain. 316 00:18:00,320 --> 00:18:04,200 Speaker 4: And if there's an opportunity to bring about regime change 317 00:18:04,280 --> 00:18:07,880 Speaker 4: and take the threat of Iran that's been looming there 318 00:18:08,000 --> 00:18:11,600 Speaker 4: forever off the table, once and for all, at least 319 00:18:11,600 --> 00:18:14,800 Speaker 4: for the foreseeable future, then yeah, I think that we 320 00:18:14,840 --> 00:18:17,080 Speaker 4: should absolutely take advantage of that. 321 00:18:18,119 --> 00:18:19,560 Speaker 1: I'll update you further on this. 322 00:18:19,600 --> 00:18:24,080 Speaker 4: Trump meets with advisors on Iran as war threat grows. 323 00:18:24,119 --> 00:18:26,520 Speaker 4: We'll get to more of your talkbacks as well from 324 00:18:26,560 --> 00:18:29,560 Speaker 4: the iHeartRadio app. I do want to update on the 325 00:18:29,560 --> 00:18:32,320 Speaker 4: story that broke right as we started this morning. We'll 326 00:18:32,359 --> 00:18:35,800 Speaker 4: go to Fox News.

The US and Iran 357 00:20:17,920 --> 00:20:20,920 Speaker 4: held the second round of talks on Tehran's nuclear program 358 00:20:20,960 --> 00:20:25,320 Speaker 4: Tuesday in Geneva.

Caroline Levitt during the White House 365 00:20:46,640 --> 00:20:50,399 Speaker 4: Press briefing yesterday had this to say over the justification 366 00:20:51,200 --> 00:20:54,919 Speaker 4: for potential military action against Iran, on who. 367 00:20:54,800 --> 00:20:58,199 Speaker 13: He's talking to what information he's consuming and why a 368 00:20:58,240 --> 00:20:59,320 Speaker 13: strike might be. 369 00:20:59,320 --> 00:21:02,600 Speaker 4: Necessary on an nuclear program he says was obliterated by the. 370 00:21:02,560 --> 00:21:03,400 Speaker 1: Last US strike. 371 00:21:03,760 --> 00:21:07,040 Speaker 14: Well, there's many reasons and arguments that one could make 372 00:21:07,400 --> 00:21:12,160 Speaker 14: for a strike against the against Iran. The President had 373 00:21:12,200 --> 00:21:15,680 Speaker 14: a very successful operation as Commander in Chief with Operation 374 00:21:15,760 --> 00:21:17,760 Speaker 14: mid Night Hammer, as you know, as you just said, 375 00:21:18,280 --> 00:21:22,919 Speaker 14: totally obliterated Iran's nuclear facilities. The President has always been 376 00:21:23,000 --> 00:21:25,159 Speaker 14: very clear though, with respect to Iran or any country 377 00:21:25,160 --> 00:21:27,840 Speaker 14: around the world, diplomacy is always his first option, and 378 00:21:27,920 --> 00:21:31,119 Speaker 14: Iran would be very wise to make a deal with 379 00:21:31,240 --> 00:21:35,520 Speaker 14: President Trump. And with this administration, he's talking to many people. 380 00:21:35,600 --> 00:21:39,040 Speaker 14: Of course, his National Security team first and foremost, and 381 00:21:39,080 --> 00:21:41,560 Speaker 14: you know who the members of that team are. And 382 00:21:41,600 --> 00:21:45,080 Speaker 14: this is something obviously the President takes seriously. He's always 383 00:21:45,080 --> 00:21:47,000 Speaker 14: thinking about what's in the best interests of the United 384 00:21:47,040 --> 00:21:49,760 Speaker 14: States of America, of our military, of the American people, 385 00:21:50,600 --> 00:21:53,520 Speaker 14: and that's how he makes decisions with respect to military 386 00:21:53,520 --> 00:21:54,400 Speaker 14: action of any kind. 387 00:21:55,280 --> 00:21:58,400 Speaker 13: John, I heard some reporting that Russia is taking part 388 00:21:58,520 --> 00:22:01,120 Speaker 13: in war games with Iran, and only. 389 00:22:00,960 --> 00:22:03,840 Speaker 15: A couple hundred miles away from that our mode that 390 00:22:03,920 --> 00:22:04,840 Speaker 15: we sent over there. 391 00:22:05,080 --> 00:22:06,160 Speaker 9: Do you know anything about that. 392 00:22:06,520 --> 00:22:09,600 Speaker 4: Yeah, I've heard the similar reporting as well that there 393 00:22:09,640 --> 00:22:13,080 Speaker 4: are Russian assets in the area, there were training exercises 394 00:22:13,720 --> 00:22:16,280 Speaker 4: going on. I do not know beyond that though, what 395 00:22:16,320 --> 00:22:20,639 Speaker 4: the potential impact would be were we to take military action, 396 00:22:20,960 --> 00:22:22,760 Speaker 4: even as soon as this weekend. I want to bring 397 00:22:22,800 --> 00:22:26,120 Speaker 4: you the most recent report from CBS News here. 398 00:22:25,920 --> 00:22:28,840 Speaker 1: In just a moment on Twin City's News Talk. Good morning, John. 399 00:22:29,119 --> 00:22:33,600 Speaker 10: With consideration with to Iran, I think the most important 400 00:22:33,640 --> 00:22:39,880 Speaker 10: thing is hitting their capability to close the Straight. 401 00:22:39,600 --> 00:22:40,280 Speaker 3: Of Horne moves. 402 00:22:40,359 --> 00:22:43,879 Speaker 10: As if you ask me, that's the biggest thing is 403 00:22:43,920 --> 00:22:46,280 Speaker 10: that Straight of Horne moves has got to stay open 404 00:22:46,840 --> 00:22:50,879 Speaker 10: because that affects way more people, like you know, a 405 00:22:50,960 --> 00:22:54,520 Speaker 10: third of the country there. So definitely got to hit 406 00:22:54,520 --> 00:22:56,600 Speaker 10: that Navy and a bunch of the missile sites and 407 00:22:56,600 --> 00:22:57,359 Speaker 10: stuff well. 408 00:22:57,400 --> 00:22:59,760 Speaker 4: And I trust the administration because I've heard many people 409 00:22:59,800 --> 00:23:05,840 Speaker 4: ment exactly that same concern, Tim, and I trust the 410 00:23:05,880 --> 00:23:09,200 Speaker 4: administration obviously is aware of that, and we'll make means 411 00:23:09,840 --> 00:23:12,080 Speaker 4: and take action to go and protect that because it 412 00:23:12,119 --> 00:23:17,640 Speaker 4: wouldn't take much to go and paralyze that straight I mean, 413 00:23:17,680 --> 00:23:22,960 Speaker 4: you have one conflict with any ship traveling through the 414 00:23:23,040 --> 00:23:25,639 Speaker 4: Strait and suddenly you're going to see nobody's going to 415 00:23:25,680 --> 00:23:29,240 Speaker 4: want to travel through there, which could be devastating to 416 00:23:29,280 --> 00:23:33,240 Speaker 4: the global economy, to the transfer of oil. So again 417 00:23:33,400 --> 00:23:37,440 Speaker 4: I suspect that more than likely the administration is fully 418 00:23:37,480 --> 00:23:39,640 Speaker 4: aware of that as well and will take the needed 419 00:23:39,680 --> 00:23:41,760 Speaker 4: action to protect the Strait of Ormuz. 420 00:23:41,880 --> 00:23:43,600 Speaker 1: Let's go in here. From a friend of the show. 421 00:23:43,440 --> 00:23:47,440 Speaker 16: Tom, I suspect the Iran situation is yet another show 422 00:23:47,480 --> 00:23:50,960 Speaker 16: of forest designed to get another nation to capitulate. 423 00:23:50,400 --> 00:23:51,800 Speaker 1: And it will probably work. 424 00:23:51,920 --> 00:23:56,320 Speaker 16: But regardless, it's precisely the type of situation that tentative 425 00:23:56,400 --> 00:24:01,440 Speaker 16: Trump supporters thought we were going to avoid debt deficits 426 00:24:01,440 --> 00:24:05,480 Speaker 16: as fur ASDI could see Americans genuinely hurting. Yet here 427 00:24:05,520 --> 00:24:09,040 Speaker 16: we go again, intervening halfway across the world. They're going 428 00:24:09,080 --> 00:24:11,240 Speaker 16: to have a tough sell painting this as a national 429 00:24:11,280 --> 00:24:13,480 Speaker 16: security issue before the midterms. 430 00:24:13,760 --> 00:24:15,680 Speaker 4: And I don't mean to take a polly in a 431 00:24:15,800 --> 00:24:19,280 Speaker 4: view on this, Tom, I appreciate your comments. What I'm 432 00:24:19,280 --> 00:24:21,240 Speaker 4: about to say is not aimed at you at all, 433 00:24:21,359 --> 00:24:24,479 Speaker 4: is just in response to what you said, specifically with 434 00:24:24,560 --> 00:24:27,879 Speaker 4: regard to national security issues and selling this before the 435 00:24:28,600 --> 00:24:31,720 Speaker 4: midterms and the fact that it might turn trepid Trump 436 00:24:31,760 --> 00:24:32,560 Speaker 4: supporters off. 437 00:24:32,680 --> 00:24:35,399 Speaker 1: I don't care. I don't. 438 00:24:38,720 --> 00:24:44,760 Speaker 4: I trust in my Lord and Savior. Okay, everything happens 439 00:24:44,760 --> 00:24:50,080 Speaker 4: for a reason. I don't believe that globally or nationally, 440 00:24:50,280 --> 00:24:52,800 Speaker 4: we can continue or could continue on the path that 441 00:24:52,840 --> 00:24:57,600 Speaker 4: we've been on. These actions of capitulation, billions, if not more, 442 00:24:57,920 --> 00:25:01,879 Speaker 4: of taxpayer dollars being funneled overseas to try to appease 443 00:25:02,080 --> 00:25:05,760 Speaker 4: our enemies year after year, decade after decade. 444 00:25:05,800 --> 00:25:07,120 Speaker 1: I'm over it. I'm tired of it. 445 00:25:07,760 --> 00:25:12,240 Speaker 4: I'm tired of the threats, the bluster, our allies being 446 00:25:12,359 --> 00:25:16,280 Speaker 4: under the threat of attack or being attacked. And if 447 00:25:16,280 --> 00:25:19,919 Speaker 4: this administration is willing to do what is necessary to 448 00:25:19,960 --> 00:25:24,920 Speaker 4: move forward to shore up peace on the world stage, 449 00:25:25,000 --> 00:25:29,280 Speaker 4: to shore up our election integrity by doing a talking 450 00:25:29,320 --> 00:25:33,240 Speaker 4: filibuster or nuking the filibuster, regardless of the outcome of 451 00:25:33,280 --> 00:25:36,040 Speaker 4: the midterms, so that we can bring about voter integrity. 452 00:25:36,560 --> 00:25:39,560 Speaker 4: Just a number of different issues, deporting those here in 453 00:25:39,600 --> 00:25:43,000 Speaker 4: the country illegally, going into cities in a show of force, 454 00:25:45,000 --> 00:25:48,960 Speaker 4: even if you're going to face public opposition, ridiculous criticism 455 00:25:49,040 --> 00:25:56,120 Speaker 4: coming from the left and insurrectionists, and obstructions, I'm very 456 00:25:56,160 --> 00:25:58,000 Speaker 4: much on the side of peace through strength at this 457 00:25:58,040 --> 00:25:59,560 Speaker 4: point in time, and the way that we were doing 458 00:25:59,600 --> 00:26:04,520 Speaker 4: things was unsustainable. It was part of the reason why 459 00:26:04,520 --> 00:26:07,000 Speaker 4: I support this. Here's the latest is I look over 460 00:26:07,080 --> 00:26:10,680 Speaker 4: some of your talkbacks from CBS overnight where we are 461 00:26:10,720 --> 00:26:13,560 Speaker 4: now currently with the military build up and how soon 462 00:26:14,200 --> 00:26:17,000 Speaker 4: this potential strike against Iran could take place. 463 00:26:17,160 --> 00:26:19,879 Speaker 17: The breaking news tonight a potential military strike on Iran 464 00:26:19,960 --> 00:26:23,200 Speaker 17: could happen as soon as Saturday.

The President has said 474 00:26:48,480 --> 00:26:51,600 Speaker 15: he would consider strikes if Iran doesn't agree to curb 475 00:26:51,640 --> 00:26:55,280 Speaker 15: its nuclear weapons program. The Pentagon is moving some personnel 476 00:26:55,280 --> 00:26:57,240 Speaker 15: temporarily out of the Middle East region over the next 477 00:26:57,240 --> 00:26:59,760 Speaker 15: three days. They're headed primarily to Europe or back here 478 00:26:59,760 --> 00:27:03,520 Speaker 15: to the ahead of any potential action or counterattacks by Iran. 479 00:27:04,480 --> 00:27:07,640 Speaker 17: All right, and you mentioned the military assets. 480 00:27:07,760 --> 00:27:09,359 Speaker 1: What kind of assets are being sent there? 481 00:27:10,040 --> 00:27:12,359 Speaker 15: Well, there are usually at least thirty to forty thousand 482 00:27:12,440 --> 00:27:15,200 Speaker 15: US troops in the region.

The Israelis 488 00:27:31,200 --> 00:27:34,200 Speaker 15: have been raising concerns about the increased development of Iron's 489 00:27:34,200 --> 00:27:37,199 Speaker 15: missile program since a late December meeting with President Trump. 490 00:27:37,560 --> 00:27:40,560 Speaker 15: He told Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin NANYAHUUO at that meeting 491 00:27:40,720 --> 00:27:43,679 Speaker 15: he would support Israeli strikes on Iran's ballistic missiles if 492 00:27:43,720 --> 00:27:45,359 Speaker 15: a nuclear deal can't be reached. 493 00:27:45,400 --> 00:27:49,639 Speaker 4: And again that's a reporting from CBS News. The parallels 494 00:27:49,960 --> 00:27:55,359 Speaker 4: of all of these different stories, they're clear as day. 495 00:27:55,720 --> 00:27:58,840 Speaker 4: It really just comes down to a mentality of left 496 00:27:59,440 --> 00:28:00,000 Speaker 4: versus right. 497 00:28:01,720 --> 00:28:02,840 Speaker 1: On the global stage. 498 00:28:02,880 --> 00:28:07,360 Speaker 4: We've had this mentality of well, we'll just appease our enemies. 499 00:28:08,160 --> 00:28:10,000 Speaker 4: We'll let them do a little bit of what they 500 00:28:10,040 --> 00:28:13,720 Speaker 4: want to do. They're not all that bad. We'll get 501 00:28:13,760 --> 00:28:16,000 Speaker 4: them a bunch of money that way. They want attack 502 00:28:16,080 --> 00:28:22,080 Speaker 4: our allies. It's fine with the illegal aliens in the country, 503 00:28:22,560 --> 00:28:25,800 Speaker 4: they're not bothering anybody. Sure, we should probably go and 504 00:28:25,920 --> 00:28:30,119 Speaker 4: arrest maybe those that have done criminal activity beyond coming 505 00:28:30,119 --> 00:28:33,560 Speaker 4: into the country illegally. But we can't go about just 506 00:28:33,560 --> 00:28:35,720 Speaker 4: supporting everybody because they're here illegal. 507 00:28:35,800 --> 00:28:38,080 Speaker 1: Some people have been here for a really long time. Listen, 508 00:28:38,120 --> 00:28:40,360 Speaker 1: the list goes on and on and on. Voter ID. 509 00:28:40,560 --> 00:28:43,800 Speaker 4: Oh, we can't go and have people have to show ID. 510 00:28:44,520 --> 00:28:46,920 Speaker 4: Married women won't be able to go and vote if 511 00:28:46,920 --> 00:28:49,680 Speaker 4: we do that. They have to show an ID when 512 00:28:49,720 --> 00:28:51,280 Speaker 4: you go to the library. But you know this is 513 00:28:51,360 --> 00:28:57,200 Speaker 4: different though, This is voter suppression. You get my point, Moorn, 514 00:28:57,200 --> 00:28:57,840 Speaker 4: than everybody. 515 00:28:57,840 --> 00:29:01,360 Speaker 18: It's Chad and Dellan oll hey, Chaed yep, Tom No, 516 00:29:01,480 --> 00:29:05,720 Speaker 18: I voted for that and doesn't do anything with my 517 00:29:05,840 --> 00:29:09,320 Speaker 18: support for Trump. Aren't they the people that say death 518 00:29:09,360 --> 00:29:14,240 Speaker 18: to America. I'm pretty sure they'd say that, so that 519 00:29:14,360 --> 00:29:19,320 Speaker 18: could be a national security risk. But anyways, have a 520 00:29:19,360 --> 00:29:21,680 Speaker 18: great day, everybody, drives safe, all right. 521 00:29:23,000 --> 00:29:26,240 Speaker 4: The same people that are saying that we shouldn't do 522 00:29:26,360 --> 00:29:29,120 Speaker 4: anything about Iran because oh, it's. 523 00:29:29,000 --> 00:29:32,040 Speaker 8: All about Israel are the same ones. 524 00:29:31,760 --> 00:29:34,200 Speaker 4: That we're saying, all, you know, always should give Ukraine 525 00:29:34,280 --> 00:29:36,080 Speaker 4: everything everything. 526 00:29:37,800 --> 00:29:42,800 Speaker 1: It's just hypocritical to it on the idea that Iron 527 00:29:42,960 --> 00:29:45,000 Speaker 1: is no threat. I actually think there. 528 00:29:44,920 --> 00:29:47,840 Speaker 8: Would be a huge piece dividend if that regime would 529 00:29:47,920 --> 00:29:52,480 Speaker 8: change the amount of money we spend helping other countries 530 00:29:52,480 --> 00:29:57,320 Speaker 8: in the area defend themselves from the weird tactical things 531 00:29:57,360 --> 00:29:58,560 Speaker 8: that Iran funds. 532 00:30:00,040 --> 00:30:03,040 Speaker 9: Would be much more peaceful over there. 533 00:30:04,560 --> 00:30:08,480 Speaker 4: By the way, expect if this strike takes place, expect 534 00:30:08,680 --> 00:30:12,200 Speaker 4: a shift in Democrat narratives. I would anticipate and seeing 535 00:30:12,280 --> 00:30:15,240 Speaker 4: a lot of Iranian flags suddenly pop up out of 536 00:30:15,280 --> 00:30:20,000 Speaker 4: nowhere and more than likely tied to even locally. The 537 00:30:20,120 --> 00:30:24,480 Speaker 4: continued pushback against the Ice. The ongoing ICE operations is 538 00:30:24,520 --> 00:30:28,920 Speaker 4: the drawdown of Operation Metro Surge continues. 539 00:30:29,160 --> 00:30:30,360 Speaker 1: Ted Cruz was. 540 00:30:30,360 --> 00:30:33,560 Speaker 4: Asked about this on Fox News, lays out what he 541 00:30:33,600 --> 00:30:37,600 Speaker 4: believes the ramifications of a strike on Iran would end up, 542 00:30:37,640 --> 00:30:40,800 Speaker 4: meaning he combines this with what's been going on in Venezuela, 543 00:30:41,040 --> 00:30:41,920 Speaker 4: Cuba as well. 544 00:30:42,080 --> 00:30:43,400 Speaker 1: It is entirely possible. 545 00:30:43,440 --> 00:30:46,000 Speaker 19: Sean that in the next six months we will see 546 00:30:46,040 --> 00:30:51,400 Speaker 19: the regimes fall in Iran, in Venezuela, and in Cuba, 547 00:30:51,880 --> 00:30:55,680 Speaker 19: and we could also see governments replace them that want 548 00:30:55,720 --> 00:30:58,960 Speaker 19: to be friends with the United States of America. Now, 549 00:30:59,120 --> 00:31:02,080 Speaker 19: let me be clear, I'm not being pollyannish about this. 550 00:31:02,200 --> 00:31:03,600 Speaker 19: There are a thousand things that can. 551 00:31:03,480 --> 00:31:04,480 Speaker 1: Go on, That's what I said. 552 00:31:04,720 --> 00:31:08,840 Speaker 19: But if that happens, this would be the most consequential 553 00:31:08,960 --> 00:31:12,760 Speaker 19: geopolitical shift since the fall of the Berlin Wall, since 554 00:31:12,840 --> 00:31:16,960 Speaker 19: America won the Cold War without firing a shot. I 555 00:31:17,040 --> 00:31:20,400 Speaker 19: spoke with President Trump the day before yesterday, and we 556 00:31:20,560 --> 00:31:24,040 Speaker 19: talked in particular about Iran, and I said, this moment, 557 00:31:24,160 --> 00:31:29,200 Speaker 19: the regime is teetering, the Iyatola is in his last days, 558 00:31:29,720 --> 00:31:32,600 Speaker 19: and I said, do not let this opportunity pass. 559 00:31:32,800 --> 00:31:34,040 Speaker 1: We have an opportunity. 560 00:31:34,280 --> 00:31:38,880 Speaker 19: The Iatola routinely chance death to America. This is a 561 00:31:38,960 --> 00:31:41,920 Speaker 19: regime that is the leading state sponsor of terrorism on 562 00:31:41,960 --> 00:31:45,720 Speaker 19: the face of the planet, is responsible for murdering hundreds 563 00:31:45,720 --> 00:31:47,320 Speaker 19: of American servicemen and women. 564 00:31:47,960 --> 00:31:49,280 Speaker 1: The Iranian regime has. 565 00:31:49,240 --> 00:31:51,920 Speaker 19: Provided over ninety percent of the funding for HAMAS and 566 00:31:52,000 --> 00:31:56,440 Speaker 19: for HESBLA. To see the Mullahs toppled would be a 567 00:31:56,600 --> 00:31:59,240 Speaker 19: tremendous advance for the people of Iran, it would be 568 00:31:59,280 --> 00:32:01,880 Speaker 19: a tremendous advance answer for the Middle East. But most critically, 569 00:32:02,400 --> 00:32:05,640 Speaker 19: it would be a massive improvement in the national security 570 00:32:05,640 --> 00:32:08,920 Speaker 19: of the United States. I believe President Trump is providing 571 00:32:08,960 --> 00:32:12,360 Speaker 19: the leadership that is necessary and it's making our country 572 00:32:12,400 --> 00:32:13,000 Speaker 19: a lot safer. 573 00:32:14,720 --> 00:32:18,400 Speaker 20: Hey, John, Max Forvanover and Max, I was going to 574 00:32:18,480 --> 00:32:21,280 Speaker 20: give you a talk back, but pretty much everything that 575 00:32:21,320 --> 00:32:27,520 Speaker 20: you just said, everything happens for a reason. Everything you 576 00:32:27,640 --> 00:32:31,800 Speaker 20: literally said was correct, and you literally took the words 577 00:32:31,840 --> 00:32:35,120 Speaker 20: out of my mouth. And that's why I love listening 578 00:32:35,120 --> 00:32:37,840 Speaker 20: to your show. Thank you, Thank you, Max. 579 00:32:38,040 --> 00:32:40,720 Speaker 1: I definitely I appreciate the talkback. 580 00:32:41,520 --> 00:32:44,760 Speaker 21: Good morning guys. Corey from Texas, I I agree on 581 00:32:45,080 --> 00:32:48,800 Speaker 21: Tom's comment is talkback, but with one caveat that if 582 00:32:48,800 --> 00:32:51,400 Speaker 21: this goes well and is over quickly, it's going to 583 00:32:51,440 --> 00:32:54,200 Speaker 21: be just fine. Just like Venezuela. And you know, everybody 584 00:32:54,240 --> 00:32:56,080 Speaker 21: blew up over that over a week or two and 585 00:32:56,120 --> 00:32:58,760 Speaker 21: now you don't even hear about it. So it's a gamble. 586 00:32:58,760 --> 00:33:00,760 Speaker 21: It's got to go well and go quick. It'll be fine. 587 00:33:00,760 --> 00:33:02,960 Speaker 21: If not, it could be a mess. On the Mint Terms. 588 00:33:03,560 --> 00:33:07,440 Speaker 4: It's interesting because there's such a lack of coverage. There's 589 00:33:07,480 --> 00:33:10,280 Speaker 4: been a lack of coverage leading up to what could 590 00:33:10,360 --> 00:33:14,600 Speaker 4: be strike on Iran this weekend because of the nature 591 00:33:14,640 --> 00:33:15,960 Speaker 4: of what I do. I follow this stuff, and I 592 00:33:15,960 --> 00:33:18,000 Speaker 4: can tell you there's just been no discussion. I've been 593 00:33:18,000 --> 00:33:21,240 Speaker 4: following this from secondary sources. This was up until the 594 00:33:21,240 --> 00:33:26,400 Speaker 4: Axios report and much of the commentary around that Axios 595 00:33:26,520 --> 00:33:29,000 Speaker 4: report leading to the Wall Street Journal and now some 596 00:33:29,240 --> 00:33:32,520 Speaker 4: coverage on the mainstream media, but even Fox News has 597 00:33:32,520 --> 00:33:36,040 Speaker 4: barely touched upon it apart from top of the hour 598 00:33:36,160 --> 00:33:39,320 Speaker 4: quick headlines and just a quick overview of what's taking place. 599 00:33:40,120 --> 00:33:44,080 Speaker 4: To Corey, I think part of the reason why there's 600 00:33:44,120 --> 00:33:46,800 Speaker 4: been so little coverage as one, the administration hasn't been 601 00:33:46,840 --> 00:33:49,520 Speaker 4: putting out a lot. Most people are saying the administration 602 00:33:49,880 --> 00:33:54,000 Speaker 4: is what fueled intentionally that Axios article, just to sort 603 00:33:54,040 --> 00:33:57,400 Speaker 4: of establish a baseline of what this operation against Iran 604 00:33:57,480 --> 00:34:00,480 Speaker 4: might potentially look like. But also I think the administration 605 00:34:00,680 --> 00:34:03,120 Speaker 4: is hoping that while this would be a longer operation 606 00:34:03,200 --> 00:34:07,520 Speaker 4: than what we saw in Venezuela, they're hoping that what 607 00:34:07,560 --> 00:34:09,799 Speaker 4: you said takes place, this would be over quickly. In 608 00:34:09,840 --> 00:34:13,680 Speaker 4: which case, if it is, there's regime change for the 609 00:34:13,680 --> 00:34:15,880 Speaker 4: first time in Iran, and I got a couple of 610 00:34:15,880 --> 00:34:18,880 Speaker 4: great talkbacks regarding this. Then it ends up being a 611 00:34:18,920 --> 00:34:21,479 Speaker 4: non issue for the midterms, and we did the right 612 00:34:21,520 --> 00:34:22,239 Speaker 4: thing in the end. 613 00:34:23,520 --> 00:34:26,040 Speaker 11: Good morning, John. Whether we want to admit it or not, 614 00:34:27,280 --> 00:34:29,200 Speaker 11: Iran has been at war with the United States for 615 00:34:29,239 --> 00:34:33,760 Speaker 11: the last fifty years. They've killed thousands of US troops 616 00:34:34,719 --> 00:34:38,239 Speaker 11: in Afghanistan and other places. I think Trump is going 617 00:34:38,280 --> 00:34:42,839 Speaker 11: to give them every opportunity to avoid conflict. But at 618 00:34:42,840 --> 00:34:46,640 Speaker 11: the end of the day, if he acts, it's because 619 00:34:46,640 --> 00:34:50,239 Speaker 11: of long term piece that he's looking at after he's 620 00:34:50,239 --> 00:34:51,520 Speaker 11: out of office. 621 00:34:53,080 --> 00:34:55,960 Speaker 9: Hey, John, it spring from put some future. I think 622 00:34:55,960 --> 00:34:58,160 Speaker 9: what they're doing a secret negotiations with the MOLA is 623 00:34:58,200 --> 00:35:00,520 Speaker 9: to get him out alive. If they don't accept, and 624 00:35:00,640 --> 00:35:04,080 Speaker 9: we'll take them out, we'll also neutralize the Iranian Guard, 625 00:35:04,520 --> 00:35:07,279 Speaker 9: We'll protect the straight of Horror moves. This restricts the 626 00:35:07,360 --> 00:35:11,920 Speaker 9: full of oil to China and Russia, including the drones 627 00:35:11,960 --> 00:35:15,440 Speaker 9: to Russia, and that neutral or changes the world dynamics, 628 00:35:15,560 --> 00:35:16,920 Speaker 9: the world power dynamics. 629 00:35:17,880 --> 00:35:20,080 Speaker 4: If you haven't had the opportunity, just if you're curious, 630 00:35:20,080 --> 00:35:24,000 Speaker 4: because I find this stuff incredibly interesting. 631 00:35:24,080 --> 00:35:25,360 Speaker 3: You're fascinating to talk to. 632 00:35:25,880 --> 00:35:27,600 Speaker 4: But if you get a chance, just to look at 633 00:35:27,600 --> 00:35:29,600 Speaker 4: the maps that have been put forward online and I'll 634 00:35:29,640 --> 00:35:33,360 Speaker 4: do a repost on my personal account John Justice j 635 00:35:33,440 --> 00:35:36,080 Speaker 4: Owen and the TC news talk account. But looking at 636 00:35:36,080 --> 00:35:38,080 Speaker 4: the map of the region and the hardware that we 637 00:35:38,160 --> 00:35:42,080 Speaker 4: have over there, it is absolutely incredible to see. To 638 00:35:42,120 --> 00:35:44,520 Speaker 4: that point, I want to share this talk back. 639 00:35:46,800 --> 00:35:48,279 Speaker 1: Coome on to John See. 640 00:35:48,360 --> 00:35:50,040 Speaker 13: I'd just like to give a huge shout out to 641 00:35:50,080 --> 00:35:53,000 Speaker 13: the men and women that are making this build up 642 00:35:54,320 --> 00:35:56,920 Speaker 13: in Europe in the Middle East possible. My nephew was 643 00:35:58,280 --> 00:36:03,359 Speaker 13: for a long weekend threw over replaced the cruise from 644 00:36:03,360 --> 00:36:09,600 Speaker 13: our local space. I'm just so proud of our men 645 00:36:09,640 --> 00:36:10,040 Speaker 13: and women. 646 00:36:10,280 --> 00:36:12,520 Speaker 4: Yeah, and now it would be the time to put 647 00:36:12,520 --> 00:36:14,799 Speaker 4: out a prayer to make sure that our brave men 648 00:36:14,840 --> 00:36:19,600 Speaker 4: and women overseas stay safe regardless of whether or not 649 00:36:19,640 --> 00:36:22,360 Speaker 4: we strike or not. They're in harm's way currently and 650 00:36:22,400 --> 00:36:25,640 Speaker 4: we pray for their safe return and that if these 651 00:36:25,640 --> 00:36:28,520 Speaker 4: efforts do move forward, that the operation would go as 652 00:36:28,520 --> 00:36:32,960 Speaker 4: the administration is hoping now again, whether it is securing 653 00:36:33,000 --> 00:36:37,360 Speaker 4: the planet for decades to come with peace through strength 654 00:36:37,520 --> 00:36:41,640 Speaker 4: or shoring up our election integrity. As I mentioned earlier, 655 00:36:41,680 --> 00:36:45,319 Speaker 4: Trump seems eager to maximize his presidency, saying that he 656 00:36:45,320 --> 00:36:47,600 Speaker 4: would issue an executive order on voter ID at the 657 00:36:47,680 --> 00:36:51,640 Speaker 4: legislation fails. This is an issue that must be fought, 658 00:36:51,680 --> 00:36:53,960 Speaker 4: and must be fought now if we can't get it 659 00:36:53,960 --> 00:36:57,640 Speaker 4: through Congress. There are legal reasons why this scam is 660 00:36:57,680 --> 00:37:00,799 Speaker 4: not permitted. I will be presenting them shortly in the 661 00:37:00,800 --> 00:37:04,680 Speaker 4: form of an executive order. He posted this on social media. 662 00:37:04,719 --> 00:37:07,759 Speaker 4: In an earlier post on social media, Trump claimed that 663 00:37:07,880 --> 00:37:10,919 Speaker 4: Democrats are not in favor of voter ID laws because 664 00:37:10,920 --> 00:37:12,960 Speaker 4: they want to cheat in elections. This was not what 665 00:37:13,000 --> 00:37:16,800 Speaker 4: our founders desired. I've searched the depths of legal arguments 666 00:37:16,840 --> 00:37:19,960 Speaker 4: and not yet articulated or vetted on this subject, and 667 00:37:20,040 --> 00:37:23,279 Speaker 4: will be presenting an irrefutable one in the. 668 00:37:23,320 --> 00:37:24,320 Speaker 1: Very near future. 669 00:37:25,040 --> 00:37:28,000 Speaker 4: There will be voter ID for midterm elections, whether approved 670 00:37:28,040 --> 00:37:31,040 Speaker 4: by Congress or not. Also, the people of our country 671 00:37:31,080 --> 00:37:35,160 Speaker 4: are insisting on citizenship, no mail in ballots, with exceptions 672 00:37:35,160 --> 00:37:40,440 Speaker 4: for a military disability, illness, or travel, he added. Now, 673 00:37:40,480 --> 00:37:44,200 Speaker 4: of course, the latest comments come as the Senate continues 674 00:37:44,280 --> 00:37:48,239 Speaker 4: to haggle over the Save America Act. Narrowly passed by 675 00:37:48,239 --> 00:37:51,600 Speaker 4: the House last week. Trump and top Republicans arguing that 676 00:37:51,640 --> 00:37:54,000 Speaker 4: the revised bill of course is necessary to protect the 677 00:37:54,000 --> 00:37:58,480 Speaker 4: country's election process before these mid terms take place. Carolina 678 00:37:58,600 --> 00:38:02,760 Speaker 4: Levitt was asked about this yesterday during that White House 679 00:38:03,120 --> 00:38:05,200 Speaker 4: Press of briefing as well. I do want to get 680 00:38:05,280 --> 00:38:09,000 Speaker 4: to some of her thoughts here in just a moment. 681 00:38:09,200 --> 00:38:11,239 Speaker 4: It's not the first time Trump has said that he 682 00:38:11,280 --> 00:38:15,160 Speaker 4: would change elections via executive order. Trump issued a similar 683 00:38:15,200 --> 00:38:18,120 Speaker 4: threat in August. Last month, he signed the executive order 684 00:38:18,160 --> 00:38:22,799 Speaker 4: titled Preserving and Protecting the Integrity of American Elections, which 685 00:38:22,840 --> 00:38:26,600 Speaker 4: sought to require voters to prove their citizenship upon registration. 686 00:38:26,719 --> 00:38:30,000 Speaker 4: The order directed the Election Assistants Commission to update the 687 00:38:30,040 --> 00:38:34,480 Speaker 4: Federal voter Registration form to include the requirement for documentary 688 00:38:34,520 --> 00:38:38,400 Speaker 4: proof of citizenship. That order was challenged in multiple lawsuits 689 00:38:39,200 --> 00:38:43,760 Speaker 4: trying to style me the administration's efforts. In a decision 690 00:38:43,760 --> 00:38:46,279 Speaker 4: to last April, one federal judge says Trump's attempt to 691 00:38:46,320 --> 00:38:49,480 Speaker 4: reshape the election process by executive order exceeded his authority 692 00:38:49,480 --> 00:38:51,040 Speaker 4: and listen, I'll leave it up to the courts, hopefully 693 00:38:51,080 --> 00:38:56,920 Speaker 4: not an activist judge to go and determine whether or 694 00:38:56,920 --> 00:38:59,440 Speaker 4: not Trump has any illegal standing to move forward with 695 00:38:59,480 --> 00:39:02,520 Speaker 4: an executive order on this. My hope is that one 696 00:39:02,840 --> 00:39:07,120 Speaker 4: this isn't necessary, and that the Senate does what's necessary, 697 00:39:08,560 --> 00:39:10,759 Speaker 4: and that is either nuke the filibuster or go with 698 00:39:10,800 --> 00:39:14,160 Speaker 4: the talking filibuster and get the Save America Act pasted 699 00:39:14,880 --> 00:39:16,359 Speaker 4: orright coming up, I will play a couple of those 700 00:39:16,400 --> 00:39:18,560 Speaker 4: clips from Caroline Levi at the White House Press Secretary. 701 00:39:19,000 --> 00:39:22,160 Speaker 4: The Trumpet administration turning our attention over to immigration is 702 00:39:22,160 --> 00:39:25,319 Speaker 4: pushing a legal change that could block states, cities, and 703 00:39:25,400 --> 00:39:33,359 Speaker 4: towns from offering free transportation to illegal immigrants. Plus, I'll 704 00:39:33,360 --> 00:39:38,279 Speaker 4: only play a snippet, just a snippet. But rock band 705 00:39:38,320 --> 00:39:43,560 Speaker 4: you Two, they've released a tribute song to honor Renee Good. 706 00:39:43,640 --> 00:39:45,520 Speaker 1: I do have a sample of it. Again, I'll just 707 00:39:45,560 --> 00:39:46,480 Speaker 1: play you with snippet. 708 00:39:46,560 --> 00:39:48,359 Speaker 4: We'll get back to more of your talkbacks as well 709 00:39:48,520 --> 00:39:50,879 Speaker 4: from the iHeartRadio app. It's all coming up on Twin 710 00:39:50,920 --> 00:39:53,279 Speaker 4: City's News Talk Am eleven thirty and one oh three 711 00:39:53,360 --> 00:39:53,919 Speaker 4: five FM. 712 00:39:53,960 --> 00:39:54,760 Speaker 1: Don't go Anywhere. 713 00:39:56,400 --> 00:40:02,520 Speaker 4: The best part Awaken Up is no last drop
