Speaker 1: Our news roundup information overload hour. Here's toll free telephone number.
Speaker 1: It's eight hundred and nine four one sean if you
Speaker 1: want to be a part of the program. All right, So,
Speaker 1: the FCC chair Brendan Carr doubled down on his argument
Speaker 1: that the NFL could lose its antitrust exemption if they
Speaker 1: move too many games behind streaming service paywalls, and the
Speaker 1: DOJ apparently is investigating the league amid the outcry that
Speaker 1: it has become too pricey, too complicated for sports fans
Speaker 1: to watch the favorite teams. Car warning that oversight could
Speaker 1: extend to the FCC in Congress if the shift to
Speaker 1: streaming worsens. The experience has become frustrating for a lot
Speaker 1: of Americans, et cetera, et cetera. Anyway, so it's like
Speaker 1: for you can watch games on Amazon Prime. You can
Speaker 1: watch games on other streaming platforms now this year as well,
Speaker 1: and a lot of fans are angry about it anyway.
Speaker 1: Mike Davis is with us. He's a founder president of
Speaker 1: the Article three project speaking out against and there's so
Speaker 1: many people angry at the NFL. They have you been
Speaker 1: ready for a course correction? My biggest problem with the
Speaker 1: NFL is that they just keep staying woke, and it's
Speaker 1: frustrating to me. I'm glad I don't see it in
Speaker 1: the NFL playoffs, and I don't see it that often
Speaker 1: in other sports, like like we do see it in
Speaker 1: the NFL. I'm surprised there hasn't been a greater outcry
Speaker 1: about it. I guess the Kaepernick case was the biggest outcry,
Speaker 1: and anyway, it seems to have calmed down. But however,
Speaker 1: they do embrace woke anyway. Mike Davis, welcome to the program.
Speaker 1: Glad you could be here.
Speaker 2: Thank you for having me on Sean. And you're exactly right.
Speaker 2: The NFL is supposed to be accessible to all Americans,
Speaker 2: real Americans in real America. And the NFL got an
Speaker 2: exemption from our federal anti trust laws with the Sports
Speaker 2: Broadcasting Act of nineteen sixty one, which allows the professional
Speaker 2: sports leagues to form essentially legally sanctioned cartels. And this
Speaker 2: Sports Broadcasting after nineteen sixty one allowed the NFL to
Speaker 2: pool their media rights and sell them to the networks
Speaker 2: instead of having each team negotiate its media rights. But
Speaker 2: in exchange for this cartel protection in this law, this
Speaker 2: sports broadcast.
Speaker 1: When you use a termline cartel, I mean, it just
Speaker 1: sounds a little harsh to me. I mean they are
Speaker 1: trying to maximize their profits, are they not.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean they are. But they're also getting an
Speaker 2: exemption from our federal anti trust laws. Right, So in
Speaker 2: exchange for that exemption, they are supposed to make these
Speaker 2: games accessible to the broadcasters, to Americans on these on
Speaker 2: the broadcast networks. The problem with the NFL now is
Speaker 2: they are trying to make not only is it too woke,
Speaker 2: like you said, Sean, it's also be coming to elite
Speaker 2: where they want to do private They want to do
Speaker 2: streaming Paige streaming for these NFL football games, and it's
Speaker 2: going to cost Americans over one thousand dollars if they
Speaker 2: want to watch all of these football games. And that's
Speaker 2: just not the deal.
Speaker 1: Let me ask you this as somebody that clings really
Speaker 1: closely to the idea of free markets unless government interference
Speaker 1: in our lives, I really do cling to that. What
Speaker 1: would be the alternative, In other words, if you took
Speaker 1: away this exemption that they've had, what would that mean
Speaker 1: for them? And they're you know, a private entity in
Speaker 1: the sense that they're an organization of people of teams.
Speaker 1: There's nothing stopping anybody else from trying to compete with
Speaker 1: them and trying to build out their own league if
Speaker 1: they want as an alternative. There have been attempts in
Speaker 1: the past. Donald Trump was part of an attempt to
Speaker 1: do such. In other words, so explain to me if
Speaker 1: they if they had the exemption polled, what would prevent
Speaker 1: them from doing whatever they want with the team?
Speaker 2: Right? Well, I mean if they if they lost this exemption,
Speaker 2: it would mean that the NFL would not be able
Speaker 2: to negotiate on behalf of all the teams. Each team
Speaker 2: would have to negotiate their media rights. And I'm with you,
Speaker 2: I'm a free market conservative, but a free market requires
Speaker 2: a functioning market. And when you have when you have,
Speaker 2: you say it's harsh. But if you have the NFL
Speaker 2: as a cartel essentially that's that's negotiating on behalf of
Speaker 2: all of the teams, then you don't have a free market.
Speaker 2: There's not real negotiations going on. It's it's the NFL
Speaker 2: doing it. So if you got rid of this exemption,
Speaker 2: the teams would have to negotiate their own METEA rights.
Speaker 2: But if they want to, if the NFL wants to
Speaker 2: keep this exemption, this anti trust exemption from the Sports
Speaker 2: Projectcasting Act of nineteen sixty one. In the NFL has
Speaker 2: to keep its side of the bargain, which means, Okay,
Speaker 2: you get this anti trust exemption to negotiate media rights,
Speaker 2: but you also have to make the NFL games accessible
Speaker 2: to as many Americans as you can, which is what
Speaker 2: has been happening for the last you know, sixty plus years.
Speaker 2: It's just it's changing recently where they're trying to go
Speaker 2: to Paige streaming and that's just cost prohibitive to real
Speaker 2: Americans in real America. They can't afford over one thousand
Speaker 2: dollars to watch football.
Speaker 1: I mean, I'm not gonna lie because I'd like to
Speaker 1: have all the streaming services, and in the case of
Speaker 1: the NFL, I have red Zone. I'm sure you probably
Speaker 1: have that as well in Prime if you want to
Speaker 1: watch a game. But however, I mean the amount of
Speaker 1: money I spend for all of the different channels and
Speaker 1: services that are available. I spend the fortune every month
Speaker 1: through a small fortune, and I don't even watch that
Speaker 1: much TV. However, when I do want watch TV, I
Speaker 1: find that so much of it is crap and garbage
Speaker 1: that just to find a show you want you have
Speaker 1: to go through like seven different streaming services just to
Speaker 1: find something that I'm interested in.
Speaker 2: Yeah, no, I agree. Look at we have a free market.
Speaker 2: If people want to buy streaming, they could buy streaming.
Speaker 2: But again, if we're going to do a carve out
Speaker 2: for the NFL of our anti trust laws, if they
Speaker 2: if they get a sweetheart deal with this Sports Broadcasting
Speaker 2: Act of nineteen sixty one, they have to live up
Speaker 2: to their end of the bargain, which is to provide
Speaker 2: the broadcasting to as many Americans as possible. When they
Speaker 2: when they have when they have this, when they're when
Speaker 2: they're when they get this carp out.
Speaker 1: All right, explain how it works for other sports? How
Speaker 1: does it work for MLB? How does it work for
Speaker 1: the NBA? How does it work for the NHL for example?
Speaker 1: Like I know the NHL Playoffs have started and and
Speaker 1: most of those games are like on ESPN two or
Speaker 1: somewhere like that, or TBS. How does it work in
Speaker 1: those cases?
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's it's similar. It's this Sports Broadcasting Act applies
Speaker 2: to all the professional sports leagues, and it's I think
Speaker 2: it's just the The problem is is that it's the
Speaker 2: NFL that's being pretty aggressive about this, and they want
Speaker 2: to go to Amazon Prime, Netflix and they you know,
Speaker 2: it's just it's becoming too expensive for Americans to watch football.
Speaker 2: And that was not the intent of this law. And
Speaker 2: I mean again, it applies to all the leagues.
Speaker 1: It's going to be interesting to watch all of this
Speaker 1: play out because I think you're going to see all
Speaker 1: of these these different pay services now that have been
Speaker 1: making a fortune. I think they're going to be more
Speaker 1: competitive than networks and ESPN and and so on and
Speaker 1: so forth. They're going to be extremely competitive financially in
Speaker 1: bidding rights for you know, the rights to run these games.
Speaker 1: Would you agree, yeah?
Speaker 2: Yes. And look, if the NFL wants to that, the
Speaker 2: NFL does not want to follow that, they don't want
Speaker 2: to keep their end of the bargain with this anti
Speaker 2: trust exemption, then Congress can repeal the exemption or the
Speaker 2: doog that Trump Justice Department, the Anti Trust Division is
Speaker 2: looking at this right now. They're investigating the NFL. So
Speaker 2: it's Brendon car at the FCC, as you said, So
Speaker 2: if they want the exemption, they have to keep their endo.
Speaker 3: The bargain.
Speaker 1: All right, Mike Davis, we appreciate your insight into this.
Speaker 1: I know it's very tough for people get so expensive.
Speaker 1: Everything gets so expensive, Linda, do you have all these
Speaker 1: pay channels like I do? I have all of you.
Speaker 1: It's awful. I mean, and most people I know end
Speaker 1: up getting all of them. I mean, yeah, I want
Speaker 1: to go back to the box.
Speaker 4: I want the cable box that everybody thought was too
Speaker 4: prohibitive and too expensive. I mean, this is basically a box.
Speaker 4: Broke it into a bunch of little boxes that costs
Speaker 4: as much as the box, if not more.
Speaker 1: All right, think about this. You have regular cable, right,
Speaker 1: and then you have YouTube, although in the YouTube channel.
Speaker 1: Then you have Netflix, then you have Prime, then you
Speaker 1: have Apple. What am I missing here? I mean there's
Speaker 1: so many services. Hulu, Disney, Hulu, you have that too.
Speaker 4: Fubo, ESPN, ESPN plus UFC. It's ridiculous. I can't even
Speaker 4: tell you because all the fights.
Speaker 1: And the only thing you really watch regularly is my show.
Speaker 4: That's it. I mean, it's just stuck on Hannity and
Speaker 4: when you're not on, I just watched reruns. I'm like,
Speaker 4: oh my gosh, what about last week's Wednesday show. That
Speaker 4: was a killer. I'm putting that one back on.
Speaker 1: By the way, Linda is loying through her teeth, it's
Speaker 1: not true. The prosecute. The defense is wrong. But don't
Speaker 1: you think wrong?
Speaker 4: Don't you think Mike is right? Like you know, Brendan
Speaker 4: Carr has been talking about it, and some other folks
Speaker 4: have been talking about it, and I feel like it's
Speaker 4: one of those things where I will tell you, like
Speaker 4: we go to watch games, even college ball, and I'm like, wait,
Speaker 4: where is that game this weekend? I thought it was on. No, No,
Speaker 4: this one has it.
Speaker 1: I have the I have. I have college football services too.
Speaker 1: I have NFL red Zone? Do you have NFL red zone?
Speaker 1: Do you have?
Speaker 4: Do you have all the actually college game I want? Yeah,
Speaker 4: I got rid of anything NFL. I used to subscribe
Speaker 4: to the NFL, but I hate them, so I had
Speaker 4: to unsubscribe and I get it through other networks.
Speaker 1: Now, all right, quick break, right back, more coming up
Speaker 1: your calls also straight ahead today eight hundred and ninefold one, Shawn,
Speaker 1: as we continue, all right, as we continue our discussion,
Speaker 1: I have a fiance that loves University of South Carolina,
Speaker 1: So I have to be. You gotta have it, so
Speaker 1: you have the SEC network. I do, Yes, I do
Speaker 1: have a big ten network. I do. Yeah, Well, if
Speaker 1: you really want the game, then then they're banking on that.
Speaker 1: You're going to You're going to pay for it if
Speaker 1: you really wanted that? Bad is I don't have time
Speaker 1: to watch all these games? I mean, I give my
Speaker 1: son a hard time. I mean, he'll take entire Saturdays
Speaker 1: and Sundays and it did just football get days with
Speaker 1: him and his voice. That's it. And my Panthers didn't
Speaker 1: make it this year. But to watch the home games
Speaker 1: for the Florida Panthers, I had to purchase an app
Speaker 1: and then it comes up on my phone and then
Speaker 1: you you you sink it to your TV. Linda, is
Speaker 1: that not beyond impressive that I can pull that sucker off?
Speaker 4: That actually is impressive for you.
Speaker 1: And even if it's technology and I have nobody to
Speaker 1: help me, at that point, I am just gonna dive in.
Speaker 1: It's just easier for me to say, Linda, fix it,
Speaker 1: the sweet baby James, fix it. I just don't want to,
Speaker 1: so I try not to. I mean, that's a terrible.
Speaker 4: Now you can watch YouTube, you can literally learn just
Speaker 4: about anything on YouTube.
Speaker 1: If you look, well, I'm sure you watch my podcast.
Speaker 1: You can watch it on your big screen TV if
Speaker 1: you go to YouTube and just put in you know,
Speaker 1: my podcast, and you can watch it whenever you want.
Speaker 1: You know, I do have YouTube TV hang out with
Speaker 1: Sean Hannity. Do you have a favorite episode?
Speaker 4: Well, I'm partial to Greg and John because they're friends.
Speaker 4: So I like that episode.
Speaker 1: He got a good SETO. Wasn't that really good?
Speaker 4: I just love them because they're good people. So for me,
Speaker 4: it was nice to watch that. John and Greg have
Speaker 4: years of work. But John specifically really put his neck
Speaker 4: on the line as an undercover testigative journalist and really
Speaker 4: dug deep to get no they.
Speaker 1: Want one of those sources. They they wanted, and without
Speaker 1: going into all the details, they came after me with
Speaker 1: the vengeance. They went after John with a vengeance. They
Speaker 1: even went after you because you're friends with me. Yeah,
Speaker 1: they're just sick.
Speaker 4: It wasn't completely weaponized and gross, and that's why when
Speaker 4: this fiend outrage comes where we're holding people on the
Speaker 4: carpet for actual crimes, like in California and Minnesota for
Speaker 4: all of the fraud, and they want to be upset
Speaker 4: about it, or you.
Speaker 1: Get to say that again, all of the what, all
Speaker 1: of the oh.
Speaker 4: Stop it? All the fraud, however you want to say,
Speaker 4: how do you say fraud?
Speaker 1: How do you say fraud?
Speaker 5: Yeah?
Speaker 1: How do you say it?
Speaker 5: Okay?
Speaker 4: Well, how do you say it?
Speaker 1: Okay? Listening for all of the fraud? It's not fraud.
Speaker 4: That's not fraud.
Speaker 1: No, w a, that that's fraud.
Speaker 4: All the fraud, that's frod.
Speaker 1: Oh my gosh, you don't even hear it. It's unbelievable.
Speaker 2: I'm going to have to go back and find a
Speaker 2: nineteen ninety six video of view.
Speaker 3: You know what.
Speaker 1: You know you're not going to be allowed to do
Speaker 1: play it, so don't waste your time.
Speaker 2: Oh I'm going to waste my time.
Speaker 1: Oh no, just like you're not allowed to go back
Speaker 1: and play me filling in the first time I filled
Speaker 1: in for Rush and the Golden Ei be Michael, that's
Speaker 1: actually really cool.
Speaker 4: That's you know what, that's inspiring.
Speaker 1: Yes, it is, because I'm inspiring. I had a panic
Speaker 1: attack over it. I don't want to be reminded of
Speaker 1: my trauma.
Speaker 4: Let me tell you why you're wrong. This is one
Speaker 4: of the moments. Let me tell you why you're wrong.
Speaker 4: That is a moment for other people to see and go, wow,
Speaker 4: you finally make it. You're filling in for Rush Limbaugh.
Speaker 4: It's a big moment.
Speaker 1: The golden Ei be mic go's crashing in the middle
Speaker 1: of my opening monologue. But I mean, and then Rush
Speaker 1: comes back the olden I be microphone.
Speaker 4: But here's the cool thing about it. From that point on,
Speaker 4: you're going to do a great show because you've already
Speaker 4: made the biggest screw up you can make. Now you
Speaker 4: just got to do the show. That part's easy, and.
Speaker 1: That's a better Rush or a better live in.
Speaker 4: Uh, probably live in.
Speaker 5: That's it.
Speaker 1: You're growing up your country at the end of that
Speaker 1: better constitution you that's it. I'm done. How's that one?
Speaker 1: It was perfect?
Speaker 5: You know what?
Speaker 4: You should try doing your read in Mark Levin's voice.
Speaker 1: Now, let me tell you something. I am really disgusted
Speaker 1: that there are groups in this country. I mean, and
Speaker 1: this is just evidence that the President's not wrong. The
Speaker 1: President put out this appeal to Iran that they not
Speaker 1: execute these eight women. I'm assuming they mean what they say,
Speaker 1: because the President said, I just got very good news.
Speaker 1: I've been informed that the eight women protesters who are
Speaker 1: going to be executed tonight in Iran will no longer
Speaker 1: be killed. Four will be released immediately. Four will be
Speaker 1: sentenced to one month in prison. I appreciate that Iran
Speaker 1: the leaders respected my request. You know, as the President
Speaker 1: told me personally last night, Sean, I can I can
Speaker 1: bomb them any time. And as I reported as I
Speaker 1: went on the air last night, that this is going
Speaker 1: to be very short lived, this extension. It was at
Speaker 1: the behest of the Pakistani Prime Minister and at the
Speaker 1: behest of the people in Iran because they will be
Speaker 1: impacted by what the President is planning. This is going
Speaker 1: to be another level of shock and all. We have
Speaker 1: increased our military presence in the Middle East, and we
Speaker 1: have now restocked and reloaded and we're ready to go.
Speaker 1: Our military is ready to go whatever the President's going
Speaker 1: to ask for. And so if the hardliners in the
Speaker 1: Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps went out, then it's going to
Speaker 1: be massive destruction in the end, and not going to
Speaker 1: be able to get that nuclear dust. And in the end,
Speaker 1: the straight of horm Moves is going to be open
Speaker 1: one way or the other. Although frankly half of me
Speaker 1: wants the rest of the world to take care of that,
Speaker 1: not us, considering we don't even get any benefit from
Speaker 1: it because we don't get our oil through the straight
Speaker 1: of hormoves. We're putting that aside. But there are groups
Speaker 1: of people in this country and I discussed this earlier
Speaker 1: in the program today, that want this president to fail.
Speaker 1: And it's spectacular to me. It's incomprehensible to me. It
Speaker 1: shouldn't be. Now you've got radical leftists. Nothing that Donald
Speaker 1: Trump can do that is ever going to be right
Speaker 1: in their eyes. Ever. You know, the poll show that
Speaker 1: the American people are behind the president. They understand that
Speaker 1: we can't have a nuclear arm Durant. The American people
Speaker 1: are smart. Then you have the Democrats that have been
Speaker 1: he's losing. It's been the most unbelievable up to this
Speaker 1: point military victory in the history of warfare. It has
Speaker 1: been such a one sided campaign, and if the President
Speaker 1: has to re engage, it'll be again. A one sided
Speaker 1: campaign doesn't mean when there's not risk associated with it.
Speaker 1: It doesn't mean it's easy. None of this is easy,
Speaker 1: and this won't be a forever war. That much, I
Speaker 1: can tell you. And sometimes it might take a little longer,
Speaker 1: a little shorter. But you know what if we try
Speaker 1: to accomplish here, we don't want a nuclear arm Duran,
Speaker 1: We don't want them to be the number one state
Speaker 1: sponsor a TERA. The easier choice for the President is
Speaker 1: to bomb them into the Stone Ages. But the president
Speaker 1: is trying to trying to thread a needle to get
Speaker 1: to where he's comfortable being for our national security. And
Speaker 1: also think of the ninety million plus Iranian people, through
Speaker 1: no fault of their own, that have been terrorized themselves.
Speaker 1: And then you have, you know, the isolation as lunatics,
Speaker 1: the people that would have no problem doing nothing. Hear
Speaker 1: no evil, see no evil, blah blah blah. Okay, those
Speaker 1: people are just dumb. I don't know. I have so
Speaker 1: little respect for them because they learned nothing from history.
Speaker 1: They have learned nothing from Mao in China and Stalin
Speaker 1: and Russia and Hitler and Germany and Mussolini and fascism
Speaker 1: and Tojo and Japan. They've learned nothing after World War Two,
Speaker 1: and they should have embraced the lessons of history. We
Speaker 1: didn't need to lose one hundred million people because there
Speaker 1: was enough evidence of an emerging, real, clear present danger
Speaker 1: in every one of those cases, and we could have
Speaker 1: neutralized all of them earlier if we had so acted. Well,
Speaker 1: we're going to repeat their eror of history and millions
Speaker 1: potentially die. I would hope not. I would think that
Speaker 1: would be something that would be universal, that we could
Speaker 1: all agree on. You know, Linda said to me, Oh,
Speaker 1: you want me to book someone that disagrees with you.
Speaker 1: I'm like, no, because there's nothing to say to them.
Speaker 1: I'm never going to convince them that preventing a ran
Speaker 1: from becoming a nuclear power is in the best interests
Speaker 1: of our children and grandchildren, because they've already made up
Speaker 1: their mind, and I think some of them are just
Speaker 1: outright angry the president didn't listen to them because they
Speaker 1: thought they had such great influence with the President, and
Speaker 1: you know, to see their fragile egos explode is kind
Speaker 1: of hilarious. But that's separate and apart from what I'm
Speaker 1: saying here. Then you've got these democrats themselves, which is
Speaker 1: so disgusting. You got Chris Murphy of Connecticut retweeting or
Speaker 1: retruthing or rexing Iranian propaganda from a foreign news site,
Speaker 1: and he that was posted by a former UN hack
Speaker 1: and in this article of Bragg that at least twenty
Speaker 1: six Iranian shadow fleet vessels bypassed the US blockade. That
Speaker 1: was completely fake news. It was a lie. Just start there,
Speaker 1: Number one, number two Senator Murphy, you know re you know,
Speaker 1: post this on X and then adds to it the
Speaker 1: comment awesome that twenty six Iranian shadow fleet vessels were
Speaker 1: able to get through the US blockade. He's he's he's
Speaker 1: cheering against his own country in a conflict against the
Speaker 1: number one state sponsor of terror. I mean, what kind
Speaker 1: of human being is this guy? I mean, you talk
Speaker 1: about America, last of you. I mean, you really want
Speaker 1: to you know, He's he's claiming, well, it's sarcastic. There's
Speaker 1: nothing sarcastic about it. And Murphy was in Europe just
Speaker 1: prior to this, comparing our duly elected American president to
Speaker 1: a fascist, well speaking to let's see an audience full
Speaker 1: of socialists and communists. And he has a long history
Speaker 1: of cozying up to Iran. In twenty nineteen, during Trump's
Speaker 1: first term, he was secretly meeting with the Iranian foreign minister,
Speaker 1: and then he admitted for years, I have met on
Speaker 1: occasion with Iran's Foreign Minister during both the Obama and
Speaker 1: Trump administrations. Uh, I'd like to know, Chris. Inquiring minds
Speaker 1: want to know what did you talk about? Did you
Speaker 1: share your disdain for the Great Satan and the Little Satan,
Speaker 1: the US and Israel. Now, this is a senator in
Speaker 1: Connecticut that has been elected by the people in Connecticut,
Speaker 1: you know, which, like New York has just gets gone.
Speaker 1: That state is just deteriorating from within. But this is
Speaker 1: a guy that publicly advocated for Iran's Evil Revolutionary Guard
Speaker 1: to be removed from America Terror watch List. Listen, I
Speaker 1: have it on tape. Listen.
Speaker 4: Could you take the Rand's Revolutionary Guard off a terror
Speaker 4: list in order to get a deal?
Speaker 2: Yes?
Speaker 6: I mean the practical impact of designating them as a
Speaker 6: foreign terrorist organization is inconsequential. We have dozens of other
Speaker 6: terrorist designations on the RGC that would remain, and so
Speaker 6: to me, if that's the barrier to getting a deal,
Speaker 6: then let's get it done.
Speaker 1: Wow. Pretty unbelievable to me, you know, I mean, a
Speaker 1: city US senator that has more compassion and sympathy for
Speaker 1: murderers and terrorists inside the Islamic Revolutionary Guard than verse
Speaker 1: fellow Americans. You know, it should make every American sick
Speaker 1: to the stomach. You're not going to hear about this
Speaker 1: on fake news scene and then ABC, NBCCBS, You're not
Speaker 1: going to read about it in the New York Times,
Speaker 1: Washington Post, MSDNC, No, they will ignore it. I guess
Speaker 1: I should be grateful because that's one of the reasons
Speaker 1: that this show has been successful, and TV's been successful,
Speaker 1: and the lunch of the podcast has been successful, thanks
Speaker 1: to all of you. Anyway, let's get to our phones.
Speaker 1: Let's say how to Tim and Texas. God bless Texas. Tim,
Speaker 1: how are you hey?
Speaker 3: Thank you Sean. That senator is an idiot. But let
Speaker 3: me get to my point.
Speaker 2: The ceasefire was.
Speaker 3: Supposed to end to nine at eight o'clock. If I'm
Speaker 3: not mistaken. If I was the president and I know
Speaker 3: he listens to the show, the first thing I would do,
Speaker 3: I would do it ben is Wayland type attack on
Speaker 3: carg Island, not to seize it, not to keep boots
Speaker 3: on the ground, just to evacuate it to where nobody
Speaker 3: can operate anything. Loadships, unload ships, do anything like that.
Speaker 3: And then I would put out and notice every six
Speaker 3: or twelve hours take out an electrical plant, take out
Speaker 3: some of their infrastructure. That way, they can't say he's
Speaker 3: committing genocide because you get before warning. Put the ball
Speaker 3: back in the Iranians court and make them respond to
Speaker 3: him without to your point, without going in and totally
Speaker 3: annihilating I ran, which we can do it in an
Speaker 3: hour or list. But that's regardless that. I hope that
Speaker 3: what she said about the female I call them victims
Speaker 3: or what if you want to call him.
Speaker 1: I mean that these women, some of them are as
Speaker 1: young as sixteen years old.
Speaker 3: I hope, I hope.
Speaker 1: It's just it's horrible, I hope. But that's the brutality
Speaker 1: of this regime. Now, the president, as he's told me
Speaker 1: last night, I can do that anytime I want, and
Speaker 1: he's now given a timeline three to five days. We'll
Speaker 1: see what that means. We'll see if the Iranians are
Speaker 1: able to coalesce behind a solution that would work for
Speaker 1: the president, and they'll either do it the hard way
Speaker 1: or the easy way. You know, the Democrats think they're clever.
Speaker 1: If the president, you know, delays is what's seemingly inevitable.
Speaker 1: Not understand that they can't even communicate with each other,
Speaker 1: the varying factions. Then the president's committing war atrocities, which,
Speaker 1: by the way, everything that you just mentioned is a
Speaker 1: legitimate recognized military target number one, number two, or he's taca.
Speaker 1: He Trump changes his mind. He's proven over and over again.
Speaker 1: How many times does this man have to act before
Speaker 1: these idiots would give him credit for doing that which Biden, Kamala, Harris, Obama,
Speaker 1: the Clinton's all said that we needed to do. Bush
Speaker 1: all said we needed to do, and that is prevent
Speaker 1: Iran from being a nuclear power. There were twelve days
Speaker 1: away from weapons and weapons enriched uranium. I don't think
Speaker 1: the president had a choice here.
Speaker 3: He didn't, and they'll never give him credit for anything
Speaker 3: he's doing.
Speaker 1: Let's see what happens. The only thing I would urge
Speaker 1: people is, don't believe the fake news media. Don't believe
Speaker 1: that this is Oh, this is such a stepback. No,
Speaker 1: it's not the president. I mean leaning into the possibility
Speaker 1: of peace, knowing all these options are his and his alone,
Speaker 1: and there's nothing that they can do to stop it.
Speaker 1: Gives him all the cards here. So let's see what happens.
Speaker 1: I think I, for one, prefer negotiated settlement. Although the
Speaker 1: safer long term settlement, the better option to end that
Speaker 1: terror regime completely would be to wipe them out. However,
Speaker 1: the pain that would be inflicted on innocent people is
Speaker 1: very great. Give the president props for thinking of the
Speaker 1: people in Iran as well. Maybe others, don't. I do
Speaker 1: Blake in Texas again, God bless Texas. Blake, what's going on?
Speaker 5: Thank you, Seanan. It's pleasure and honor to be on
Speaker 5: your phone with you on the radio here, sir, No,
Speaker 5: thank you to say, if there's anybody with enough compassion
Speaker 5: to help those women out who are in peril, it
Speaker 5: would be Donald Trump. And I tell you we need
Speaker 5: to be supporting our president. And uh, we we voted
Speaker 5: him as commander in chief. And if he needs to
Speaker 5: make the determination if boots go in for whatever reason
Speaker 5: they go in, whether it's the rescue Ironman, or whether
Speaker 5: to go in and rescue the good people of Irans,
Speaker 5: and I wanted to say that I trust him because
Speaker 5: he has to make decisions in real time. He can't
Speaker 5: wait for Congress to nitpick and pithy around with with
Speaker 5: important decisions. And uh, when I want I want to
Speaker 5: say that when our young men women. They joined the military,
Speaker 5: they join with the intention of being of service to
Speaker 5: our country and arts olid deals, even if it means
Speaker 5: to going into harm's way. And when when people say, well,
Speaker 5: we can't have boots on the ground for any reasons,
Speaker 5: well we don't know all the reason. This is why
Speaker 5: we should have boots on the ground. You know, these
Speaker 5: military people they leave their their fears and their worries
Speaker 5: on the bus before they swear in it the military
Speaker 5: and listing.
Speaker 1: No, we actually did put boots on the ground when
Speaker 1: we rescued those pilots. You know, if we if we
Speaker 1: have to put boots on the ground, if they decide
Speaker 1: they want to extract the sixty percent enriched uranium, whether
Speaker 1: it's the easy way or hard way, I'd respect the
Speaker 1: president's decision. If there's an easier way to do it.
Speaker 1: And in toomb the thing, okay, we could do that
Speaker 1: as well. Now that we know what the enriched uranium is.
Speaker 1: Put it in perspective, this is going to come to
Speaker 1: an end. Just stand by, watch, wait and see and
Speaker 1: just have Everyone needs to have a little bit of patience.
Speaker 1: Here is this complicated business. Let's put it that way.
Speaker 1: Blake God Busha Man appreciate all our friends in Texas.
Speaker 1: All right, that's going to wrap things up at today.
Speaker 1: We got a great Hannity tonight nine eastern on the
Speaker 1: Fox News Channel. As I said last night, this will
Speaker 1: be short lived. There is a ceasefire extension. White House said,
Speaker 1: only three to five days. We get reaction. Lindsay Graham,
Speaker 1: Ted Cruz, Cash Betel will join us tonight. What about
Speaker 1: these eleven missing scientists. Congressman Tim Burshett will join us,
Speaker 1: and the one and only Clay Travis. That's all coming up.
