1
00:00:10,039 --> 00:00:10,680
Speaker 1: Hey there, folks.

2
00:00:10,680 --> 00:00:13,120
Speaker 2: It is Friday, April third, and we're hopping on because

3
00:00:13,160 --> 00:00:16,160
Speaker 2: there was a breaking news and urgent situation going on

4
00:00:16,200 --> 00:00:21,400
Speaker 2: in Iran right now. US airplanes warplanes have been struck

5
00:00:21,440 --> 00:00:24,520
Speaker 2: by Iranian fire. At least two have gone down, and

6
00:00:24,600 --> 00:00:28,840
Speaker 2: as we speak, an urgent search is underway for a

7
00:00:28,960 --> 00:00:32,240
Speaker 2: missing member of the crew of one of those aircraft

8
00:00:32,479 --> 00:00:35,440
Speaker 2: in Iran. And with that, welcome to this episode of

9
00:00:35,479 --> 00:00:37,320
Speaker 2: Amy and TJ, a breaking news episode.

10
00:00:37,360 --> 00:00:38,400
Speaker 1: I need to preface this, Robes.

11
00:00:38,440 --> 00:00:41,840
Speaker 2: We should that we are recording this late afternoon, early

12
00:00:41,960 --> 00:00:47,080
Speaker 2: evening on Friday Eastern time, so things are developing and

13
00:00:47,120 --> 00:00:49,360
Speaker 2: things could change. But if you're listening to us at

14
00:00:49,400 --> 00:00:51,760
Speaker 2: this point, this is a developing story. But we do

15
00:00:51,880 --> 00:00:55,440
Speaker 2: want you to know, Robes, this is a the situation.

16
00:00:55,520 --> 00:00:57,720
Speaker 2: The headline details we can get into about the planes,

17
00:00:57,960 --> 00:01:01,600
Speaker 2: but first and foremost, there is a number American service

18
00:01:01,640 --> 00:01:05,039
Speaker 2: member somewhere in Iran as we speak, and they are

19
00:01:05,040 --> 00:01:05,800
Speaker 2: trying to find them.

20
00:01:06,280 --> 00:01:09,720
Speaker 3: Yes, and that is the urgent matter going on right now.

21
00:01:09,720 --> 00:01:11,720
Speaker 3: We actually waited a bit to come on because we

22
00:01:11,720 --> 00:01:15,839
Speaker 3: were waiting to see if perhaps that service member could

23
00:01:15,840 --> 00:01:20,160
Speaker 3: be found, and so far, unfortunately, the search continues The

24
00:01:20,160 --> 00:01:23,400
Speaker 3: good news is at least one has been rescued. It

25
00:01:23,480 --> 00:01:27,960
Speaker 3: was pilot, two fighter excuse me, two crew members on

26
00:01:28,000 --> 00:01:30,280
Speaker 3: that fighter jet. It was an F fifteen fighter jet

27
00:01:30,319 --> 00:01:35,320
Speaker 3: that was taken down by incoming Iranian fire and one

28
00:01:35,440 --> 00:01:38,840
Speaker 3: was rescued. The search going on now for that second

29
00:01:39,520 --> 00:01:41,280
Speaker 3: person aboard that plane.

30
00:01:41,200 --> 00:01:46,080
Speaker 2: And we want to look different stories, different details are

31
00:01:46,120 --> 00:01:49,360
Speaker 2: coming in from so many different news organizations. We will

32
00:01:49,440 --> 00:01:53,800
Speaker 2: give attribution whereas proper, but what is being certainly reported

33
00:01:53,880 --> 00:01:57,960
Speaker 2: right now, widely broadly is understood robes that yes, this

34
00:01:58,080 --> 00:02:01,520
Speaker 2: plane did go down. Now, the second plane we're going

35
00:02:01,560 --> 00:02:04,040
Speaker 2: to talk about is one that was there in support

36
00:02:04,200 --> 00:02:08,440
Speaker 2: of the search and rescue. It was hit, that pilot

37
00:02:08,520 --> 00:02:12,040
Speaker 2: was able to fly out of Iranian airspace at least eject,

38
00:02:12,160 --> 00:02:15,079
Speaker 2: and then that plane crash. We understand that pilot is okay,

39
00:02:15,160 --> 00:02:18,120
Speaker 2: So that is obviously significant in a headline, but at

40
00:02:18,200 --> 00:02:20,840
Speaker 2: least robes that person seems to be that pilot at

41
00:02:20,919 --> 00:02:22,120
Speaker 2: least seems to have been recovery.

42
00:02:22,240 --> 00:02:25,400
Speaker 3: Yes, from what we understand, it was a one seater,

43
00:02:25,560 --> 00:02:29,200
Speaker 3: a ten wart hog attack aircraft. So yes, it was

44
00:02:29,240 --> 00:02:33,639
Speaker 3: looking for the downplane or at least the crew from

45
00:02:33,639 --> 00:02:37,160
Speaker 3: that downplane. When it crashed in Kuwait. That is at

46
00:02:37,240 --> 00:02:40,080
Speaker 3: least the word we're getting right now. So the pilot

47
00:02:40,120 --> 00:02:43,919
Speaker 3: was able to eject safely, thankfully. And then the remains

48
00:02:43,919 --> 00:02:46,440
Speaker 3: of that aircraft are in Kuwait, not in Iran.

49
00:02:46,600 --> 00:02:49,520
Speaker 2: And again that again just to let you know, we're

50
00:02:49,560 --> 00:02:52,280
Speaker 2: not adept at military aircraft, but it's described as an

51
00:02:52,320 --> 00:02:55,960
Speaker 2: A ten war Hog, which is an aircraft specifically to

52
00:02:56,080 --> 00:02:59,480
Speaker 2: designed to give ground support or air support to ground

53
00:02:59,480 --> 00:03:01,880
Speaker 2: troops who are doing precisely what some of them are doing,

54
00:03:01,880 --> 00:03:04,799
Speaker 2: which are doing search and rescue right now. So that

55
00:03:04,919 --> 00:03:07,160
Speaker 2: is the second plane that went down. Again, that pilot

56
00:03:07,240 --> 00:03:09,840
Speaker 2: seems to be okay. The crew member that was I'll

57
00:03:09,840 --> 00:03:10,480
Speaker 2: go ahead, ropes.

58
00:03:10,360 --> 00:03:11,200
Speaker 4: Qui oh I was gonna say?

59
00:03:11,240 --> 00:03:14,080
Speaker 3: And then ABC News is reporting the two black Hawk

60
00:03:14,200 --> 00:03:18,359
Speaker 3: helicopters also involved in the search and rescue efforts for

61
00:03:18,520 --> 00:03:22,200
Speaker 3: that F fifteen fighter jet and the crew were also

62
00:03:22,360 --> 00:03:26,160
Speaker 3: struck by incoming fire over Iran.

63
00:03:26,320 --> 00:03:26,880
Speaker 4: They say.

64
00:03:26,919 --> 00:03:30,000
Speaker 3: According to ABC News, there were injuries to some of

65
00:03:30,040 --> 00:03:33,240
Speaker 3: the crew who were aboard those black Hawk helicopters, but

66
00:03:33,480 --> 00:03:35,200
Speaker 3: the good news is they were able to make it

67
00:03:35,240 --> 00:03:38,160
Speaker 3: back to the base, so that aircraft and those crew

68
00:03:38,160 --> 00:03:40,840
Speaker 3: members are safe and they're on the base.

69
00:03:40,920 --> 00:03:43,000
Speaker 2: Okay, very good point to make, and to lump that

70
00:03:43,040 --> 00:03:45,080
Speaker 2: together and all we're talking about now, of course the

71
00:03:45,200 --> 00:03:47,400
Speaker 2: black Hall helicopters who were doing the rescue mission. That

72
00:03:47,400 --> 00:03:49,760
Speaker 2: could have been small arms fire from people on the ground.

73
00:03:49,920 --> 00:03:54,120
Speaker 2: Maybe we do not know. But in a war that's

74
00:03:54,160 --> 00:03:55,960
Speaker 2: going on with five weeks, please help me with my math,

75
00:03:56,000 --> 00:04:00,080
Speaker 2: herobes six weeks now, six weeks and I know, oh,

76
00:04:00,720 --> 00:04:03,400
Speaker 2: from the messaging we've have been getting for quite some time,

77
00:04:04,440 --> 00:04:08,880
Speaker 2: the United States owns the airspace. The United States is

78
00:04:08,920 --> 00:04:14,400
Speaker 2: in control of Iranian airspace. We have severely almost robes

79
00:04:14,440 --> 00:04:18,720
Speaker 2: to the point we understood that had obliterated their ability

80
00:04:18,760 --> 00:04:23,240
Speaker 2: to do anti aircraft missiles. They almost eliminated their ability

81
00:04:23,279 --> 00:04:28,000
Speaker 2: to do what now robes. In a short period of time,

82
00:04:28,640 --> 00:04:32,400
Speaker 2: we are talking about three different four different military aircraft,

83
00:04:33,240 --> 00:04:35,719
Speaker 2: two going down, another two being hit.

84
00:04:36,240 --> 00:04:38,840
Speaker 1: So questions are coming up.

85
00:04:38,880 --> 00:04:41,760
Speaker 2: Now, wait a minute, what are they still capable of

86
00:04:42,240 --> 00:04:45,320
Speaker 2: if we are blowing them back to the stone ages?

87
00:04:45,360 --> 00:04:47,000
Speaker 1: As the President described.

88
00:04:46,680 --> 00:04:50,520
Speaker 3: Babe, if you look and see the events of just

89
00:04:50,560 --> 00:04:55,000
Speaker 3: the past several hours, the realities of what is going

90
00:04:55,040 --> 00:04:57,720
Speaker 3: on in the air and on the ground in Iran,

91
00:04:58,240 --> 00:05:03,200
Speaker 3: fly in the face directly from what the president has said.

92
00:05:03,680 --> 00:05:06,120
Speaker 3: Just a few days ago, President Trump said and I

93
00:05:06,279 --> 00:05:12,880
Speaker 3: quote that Tehran had no anti aircraft equipment. If that

94
00:05:13,120 --> 00:05:15,760
Speaker 3: is the case, how do you explain what has happened

95
00:05:16,279 --> 00:05:20,120
Speaker 3: in Iran over the past few hours to four separate

96
00:05:20,760 --> 00:05:22,479
Speaker 3: US military aircraft.

97
00:05:22,600 --> 00:05:24,680
Speaker 2: Yeah, we don't have those answers. Again, we are not

98
00:05:25,320 --> 00:05:31,680
Speaker 2: We don't understand all the military jargon sometimes and what

99
00:05:31,720 --> 00:05:34,480
Speaker 2: the capabilities are of Iran. But robes that we should say,

100
00:05:34,520 --> 00:05:37,080
Speaker 2: at least this is in the western part of the country.

101
00:05:37,160 --> 00:05:41,039
Speaker 2: I do believe it's kind of a remote area where

102
00:05:41,120 --> 00:05:44,680
Speaker 2: this has all taken place. So it's pretty remarkable. I

103
00:05:44,680 --> 00:05:48,880
Speaker 2: will give them gridded Look, I am in awe forget everything, anybody,

104
00:05:49,000 --> 00:05:52,160
Speaker 2: any political anything. I am in awe of what our

105
00:05:52,160 --> 00:05:56,800
Speaker 2: military is able to do. Rosees, this is incredibly impressive. Yes,

106
00:05:56,800 --> 00:06:00,680
Speaker 2: the capability of yes, blowing things up with accuracy, but

107
00:06:00,800 --> 00:06:03,039
Speaker 2: also robes to be able to get in there and

108
00:06:03,080 --> 00:06:07,040
Speaker 2: to get these pilots and to this was The capabilities

109
00:06:07,080 --> 00:06:10,719
Speaker 2: are impressive, period, point blank. Now we are hoping robes,

110
00:06:10,760 --> 00:06:14,080
Speaker 2: of course they're able to identify to where this other

111
00:06:14,480 --> 00:06:15,240
Speaker 2: crew member is.

112
00:06:16,400 --> 00:06:17,320
Speaker 1: But robes, this is.

113
00:06:17,279 --> 00:06:23,560
Speaker 2: A big, big, concern. Yes, if Iran gets its hands

114
00:06:23,560 --> 00:06:27,159
Speaker 2: on a living American serviceman.

115
00:06:27,240 --> 00:06:30,480
Speaker 3: You and I were having this conversation off Mike, just saying,

116
00:06:30,640 --> 00:06:35,080
Speaker 3: my god, this is worst case scenario. Can you imagine

117
00:06:35,440 --> 00:06:39,520
Speaker 3: what they would do, how they would use this to

118
00:06:39,560 --> 00:06:41,719
Speaker 3: their advantage? And I say this, it's a human being.

119
00:06:41,760 --> 00:06:45,560
Speaker 3: And obviously, given what's at stake and what's happened over

120
00:06:45,560 --> 00:06:49,560
Speaker 3: the last six weeks to their country, certainly this would

121
00:06:49,560 --> 00:06:52,520
Speaker 3: be an opportunity for the Iranians and certainly a nightmare

122
00:06:52,560 --> 00:06:56,520
Speaker 3: for the Americans if for some in some way, shape

123
00:06:56,600 --> 00:07:01,599
Speaker 3: or form, this crew member was cap should buy Iranian

124
00:07:01,640 --> 00:07:05,000
Speaker 3: forces or Iranian people, And there is a reward out

125
00:07:05,200 --> 00:07:07,960
Speaker 3: right now we should talk about that. Iran has taken

126
00:07:07,960 --> 00:07:11,200
Speaker 3: advantage already. Obviously this makes a lot of sense of

127
00:07:11,240 --> 00:07:17,040
Speaker 3: the situation, and has already put out a notice to citizens, civilians,

128
00:07:17,080 --> 00:07:21,320
Speaker 3: to anyone to be on the lookout for this American.

129
00:07:21,440 --> 00:07:24,760
Speaker 2: So you had one regional governor who put out his

130
00:07:25,000 --> 00:07:28,240
Speaker 2: literally put a dollar amount on it that, according to rewards,

131
00:07:28,280 --> 00:07:30,960
Speaker 2: is an equivalent of about sixty thousand dollars a bounty

132
00:07:31,320 --> 00:07:33,760
Speaker 2: to turn over one of these folks. Now, Iranian State

133
00:07:33,800 --> 00:07:37,200
Speaker 2: TV as well just toll citizens. You need to find

134
00:07:37,240 --> 00:07:38,800
Speaker 2: these folks. If you find them, you need to hand

135
00:07:38,800 --> 00:07:40,520
Speaker 2: them over to police. If you have information, you need

136
00:07:40,520 --> 00:07:44,840
Speaker 2: to let police know. They are all sides right now, Robes,

137
00:07:45,640 --> 00:07:49,680
Speaker 2: one side search and rescue, other side hunting. It sounds like,

138
00:07:49,960 --> 00:07:53,000
Speaker 2: but right now, this is everything in this war. Now,

139
00:07:53,040 --> 00:07:55,480
Speaker 2: what does this mean for moving forward? What does this

140
00:07:55,520 --> 00:07:58,120
Speaker 2: mean for negotiation? As the President said, nothing at least.

141
00:07:58,120 --> 00:08:01,120
Speaker 2: He talked to NBC News a little while Robes and

142
00:08:01,280 --> 00:08:04,280
Speaker 2: I mean, I don't We're in the middle of I

143
00:08:04,280 --> 00:08:08,320
Speaker 2: would assume we're pretty sensitive and delicate negotiations. And the

144
00:08:08,320 --> 00:08:10,400
Speaker 2: President says, it's changes nothing at this point.

145
00:08:10,840 --> 00:08:14,360
Speaker 3: He said, it's war. This is war. It changes nothing.

146
00:08:14,440 --> 00:08:17,320
Speaker 3: This is what happens in war. He didn't seem to

147
00:08:17,600 --> 00:08:20,800
Speaker 3: have look, and all of this may be very strategic.

148
00:08:20,880 --> 00:08:24,160
Speaker 3: I'm imagining it is. They don't want to play into

149
00:08:24,280 --> 00:08:27,480
Speaker 3: the drama or the narrative that we're desperate to get

150
00:08:27,880 --> 00:08:30,360
Speaker 3: this American crew member back, but.

151
00:08:30,680 --> 00:08:31,640
Speaker 4: Obviously we are.

152
00:08:31,760 --> 00:08:36,120
Speaker 3: But the President is certainly publicly right now playing it cool,

153
00:08:36,200 --> 00:08:38,160
Speaker 3: and maybe that is a strategy.

154
00:08:38,200 --> 00:08:39,079
Speaker 4: That is a tactic.

155
00:08:40,160 --> 00:08:42,800
Speaker 3: He knows that the Iranians are listening, and certainly the

156
00:08:42,920 --> 00:08:48,800
Speaker 3: social media aspect of this war has been fascinating to watch,

157
00:08:48,800 --> 00:08:51,160
Speaker 3: at least the Iranians. You've pointed out several times how

158
00:08:51,160 --> 00:08:54,000
Speaker 3: a depth they are at, jumping on x when things

159
00:08:54,040 --> 00:08:55,840
Speaker 3: happen and using it to their advantage.

160
00:08:55,960 --> 00:08:59,080
Speaker 4: Whatever is happening on the ground, they take it on.

161
00:08:59,200 --> 00:09:00,800
Speaker 4: They take pictures some times.

162
00:09:00,480 --> 00:09:02,480
Speaker 3: That fly in the face of what some of our

163
00:09:02,600 --> 00:09:03,720
Speaker 3: administration is saying, and.

164
00:09:03,679 --> 00:09:06,800
Speaker 4: They're like, hey, what do you say about these pictures?

165
00:09:07,080 --> 00:09:08,600
Speaker 4: How about this? How about mem apples?

166
00:09:08,640 --> 00:09:10,520
Speaker 2: You know, Robes is good to mention that because for

167
00:09:10,559 --> 00:09:12,960
Speaker 2: a little while before we got more confirmation and solid

168
00:09:12,960 --> 00:09:16,720
Speaker 2: information about the planes actually going down, Iran was putting

169
00:09:16,760 --> 00:09:19,080
Speaker 2: up video, putting up images of it, and Robes it

170
00:09:19,080 --> 00:09:22,000
Speaker 2: turns out those images were accurate. Yeah, right, all the

171
00:09:22,000 --> 00:09:23,880
Speaker 2: back of what we talk about propaganda and this and that.

172
00:09:23,960 --> 00:09:26,040
Speaker 2: You look at these images, No, what's that? I ran,

173
00:09:26,120 --> 00:09:28,120
Speaker 2: but I ran, I'm putting this out at the state media.

174
00:09:28,160 --> 00:09:31,320
Speaker 2: But turns out, yes, they have several images of what

175
00:09:31,559 --> 00:09:35,280
Speaker 2: looks like all the seat, the ejection seat YEP from

176
00:09:35,320 --> 00:09:35,880
Speaker 2: the fighter.

177
00:09:35,760 --> 00:09:36,920
Speaker 4: Jet was undeniable.

178
00:09:37,200 --> 00:09:40,800
Speaker 3: It was undeniable, and look I'm looking at look. Everyone

179
00:09:40,880 --> 00:09:43,559
Speaker 3: is now scrambling to cover this in every way we

180
00:09:43,640 --> 00:09:47,480
Speaker 3: talked about what we've been hearing from our administration versus

181
00:09:47,480 --> 00:09:49,320
Speaker 3: what's happening on the ground. We've talked about this in

182
00:09:49,360 --> 00:09:53,320
Speaker 3: plenty of podcasts, how it has been difficult to discern

183
00:09:53,440 --> 00:09:54,400
Speaker 3: what's true and what's not.

184
00:09:55,080 --> 00:09:56,800
Speaker 4: Do you want to hear the verbatim of.

185
00:09:56,760 --> 00:10:00,400
Speaker 3: What the President said during his prime time address to

186
00:10:00,480 --> 00:10:03,320
Speaker 3: the nation on Iran and its capabilities?

187
00:10:03,920 --> 00:10:07,320
Speaker 4: Just when was this? It's Friday now. His address to

188
00:10:07,360 --> 00:10:12,800
Speaker 4: the nation was Thursday night night. This is what he said.

189
00:10:12,840 --> 00:10:16,160
Speaker 3: I'm going to quote the President and just remember this

190
00:10:16,240 --> 00:10:18,480
Speaker 3: in the context of what is happening right now.

191
00:10:18,840 --> 00:10:20,400
Speaker 4: We've done all of it.

192
00:10:20,480 --> 00:10:24,560
Speaker 3: Their navy is gone, their air force is gone, Their

193
00:10:24,600 --> 00:10:28,040
Speaker 3: missiles are just about used up or beaten. They have

194
00:10:28,200 --> 00:10:33,880
Speaker 3: no anti aircraft equipment, their radar is one hundred percent annihilated.

195
00:10:34,200 --> 00:10:37,760
Speaker 3: We are unstoppable as a military force.

196
00:10:37,880 --> 00:10:40,720
Speaker 2: That's a problem Robes because he's giving us an impression.

197
00:10:40,880 --> 00:10:43,000
Speaker 2: He's giving us an impression of what we have done

198
00:10:43,040 --> 00:10:45,640
Speaker 2: where we are, and it's something like this is impossible.

199
00:10:45,800 --> 00:10:48,319
Speaker 2: But right now all of us have As an American

200
00:10:48,920 --> 00:10:52,320
Speaker 2: service member, don't know them, but I love them and

201
00:10:52,360 --> 00:10:55,079
Speaker 2: I want them to come home. Now we're all on

202
00:10:55,120 --> 00:10:58,600
Speaker 2: the same team, are we not? So we are rooting

203
00:10:58,720 --> 00:11:00,800
Speaker 2: at some part of us as the country can come

204
00:11:00,800 --> 00:11:03,160
Speaker 2: together and be where is our guy? We can come

205
00:11:03,240 --> 00:11:06,080
Speaker 2: together even against Iran? Right now, give us our guy.

206
00:11:06,160 --> 00:11:07,839
Speaker 2: We want our guy wanted to be okay, and anything

207
00:11:07,840 --> 00:11:09,559
Speaker 2: happens to him, we'd be even more pissed at Ran.

208
00:11:10,320 --> 00:11:12,559
Speaker 2: The problem is, Robes. We stop for a second, say,

209
00:11:12,559 --> 00:11:14,280
Speaker 2: wait a minute, mister president.

210
00:11:14,640 --> 00:11:18,320
Speaker 3: You told us this couldn't happen, This wasn't possible, This

211
00:11:18,559 --> 00:11:23,360
Speaker 3: wasn't a concern anymore, because we have obliterated their capabilities

212
00:11:23,559 --> 00:11:24,320
Speaker 3: to fight back.

213
00:11:24,520 --> 00:11:28,760
Speaker 2: So then the next part of that, then, Robes is Yes,

214
00:11:29,200 --> 00:11:34,440
Speaker 2: the country, the energy, the mood, the tolerance, the stock market,

215
00:11:34,760 --> 00:11:37,959
Speaker 2: the gas prices, the oil prices. Wait a minute, you

216
00:11:38,040 --> 00:11:40,600
Speaker 2: tell us this thing is wrapping up. They don't have

217
00:11:40,720 --> 00:11:45,000
Speaker 2: capabilities of fighting back. Oh wait a second, they can

218
00:11:45,080 --> 00:11:48,240
Speaker 2: still shoot down in a matter of hours. You're telling

219
00:11:48,320 --> 00:11:51,720
Speaker 2: us we got planes going down, we got missing service members, we.

220
00:11:51,800 --> 00:11:54,640
Speaker 4: Got HeLa helicopter romes.

221
00:11:54,760 --> 00:11:57,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, that flies in the face of this thing wrapping

222
00:11:57,840 --> 00:12:00,840
Speaker 2: up in two or three weeks. That is going to

223
00:12:00,920 --> 00:12:04,360
Speaker 2: be a problem. This is a developing story, folks, But

224
00:12:04,679 --> 00:12:08,480
Speaker 2: we need to let you hear what the sides are saying.

225
00:12:08,840 --> 00:12:13,240
Speaker 2: President Trump has commented on truth Social since all of

226
00:12:13,240 --> 00:12:17,160
Speaker 2: this has been going on. It is a four word

227
00:12:17,440 --> 00:12:20,840
Speaker 2: response that you might not believe.

228
00:12:21,080 --> 00:12:22,200
Speaker 1: Will have that for you.

229
00:12:22,320 --> 00:12:27,120
Speaker 2: Also, the speaker of the Iran Parliament spoke as well,

230
00:12:27,520 --> 00:12:29,400
Speaker 2: and you know what he mocked.

231
00:12:29,720 --> 00:12:41,679
Speaker 1: What's happening right now? Stay here? All right?

232
00:12:41,720 --> 00:12:43,600
Speaker 2: We continue here on Amy and TJ. Want to let

233
00:12:43,640 --> 00:12:46,360
Speaker 2: you know what the President has said in response. At

234
00:12:46,440 --> 00:12:49,400
Speaker 2: least we haven't. He hasn't come out and made comments.

235
00:12:49,400 --> 00:12:51,600
Speaker 2: He gave a short interview to NBC News. We told

236
00:12:51,600 --> 00:12:53,400
Speaker 2: you about that quote just a second ago in which

237
00:12:53,559 --> 00:12:55,120
Speaker 2: he said, this doesn't change anything.

238
00:12:55,160 --> 00:12:55,640
Speaker 1: It's war.

239
00:12:55,960 --> 00:12:59,160
Speaker 2: But row he did put something out on truth Social

240
00:13:00,120 --> 00:13:02,840
Speaker 2: and this happened. I want to get the timing of

241
00:13:03,040 --> 00:13:05,520
Speaker 2: it right. You'll bear with me. I'm looking at it

242
00:13:05,559 --> 00:13:07,760
Speaker 2: here as we speak. This came out at three twenty

243
00:13:08,520 --> 00:13:11,000
Speaker 2: pm Eastern time today.

244
00:13:12,360 --> 00:13:13,360
Speaker 1: What is he talking about?

245
00:13:13,480 --> 00:13:14,480
Speaker 4: So this is disturbing.

246
00:13:14,520 --> 00:13:17,680
Speaker 3: So we've got obviously a missing crew member in Iran,

247
00:13:17,880 --> 00:13:24,080
Speaker 3: a downed very expensive fighter jet in Iran, Another very

248
00:13:24,200 --> 00:13:27,760
Speaker 3: expensive military plane downed in Kuwait. Thankfully those two crew

249
00:13:27,800 --> 00:13:30,960
Speaker 3: members are safe, and we don't know how many injured

250
00:13:30,960 --> 00:13:31,719
Speaker 3: crew members of.

251
00:13:31,679 --> 00:13:34,199
Speaker 4: Two Blackhawk helicopters. All of this is.

252
00:13:34,120 --> 00:13:38,480
Speaker 3: Going on the president does put this out on true social.

253
00:13:38,400 --> 00:13:40,840
Speaker 2: Now say before you did, well, is there any context

254
00:13:40,840 --> 00:13:41,360
Speaker 2: I'm missing?

255
00:13:41,640 --> 00:13:42,160
Speaker 1: Like did he.

256
00:13:43,800 --> 00:13:46,560
Speaker 2: Is this in relation to what's currently going on? Or

257
00:13:46,640 --> 00:13:49,800
Speaker 2: is he is a continuation of some other issue independent

258
00:13:49,880 --> 00:13:50,199
Speaker 2: of this?

259
00:13:50,600 --> 00:13:52,200
Speaker 4: I really care his head is.

260
00:13:52,240 --> 00:13:54,400
Speaker 3: I can only know what time it is, and I

261
00:13:54,440 --> 00:13:58,120
Speaker 3: can only put into context what he put out in

262
00:13:58,200 --> 00:14:01,800
Speaker 3: a true social post in the time where the events

263
00:14:01,800 --> 00:14:03,880
Speaker 3: that were taking place were taking place, and what we

264
00:14:04,040 --> 00:14:07,320
Speaker 3: just said happened was happening. When he put out in

265
00:14:07,400 --> 00:14:11,720
Speaker 3: all caps, keep the oil anyone question.

266
00:14:11,559 --> 00:14:17,480
Speaker 2: Mark, I don't know. I don't know if it's I

267
00:14:17,559 --> 00:14:19,280
Speaker 2: don't know. I don't know.

268
00:14:19,920 --> 00:14:22,360
Speaker 1: Is he is this now? Goddamn?

269
00:14:22,600 --> 00:14:25,480
Speaker 2: Is he actually using this moment and taking advantage of

270
00:14:25,560 --> 00:14:29,080
Speaker 2: us and pulling at our heartstrings now because he knows

271
00:14:29,200 --> 00:14:31,920
Speaker 2: everybody's on his side. I am right now one hundred

272
00:14:31,960 --> 00:14:34,360
Speaker 2: percent on the side of anything they want to do

273
00:14:34,440 --> 00:14:37,680
Speaker 2: to go get that guy. That is just how we

274
00:14:37,840 --> 00:14:42,320
Speaker 2: feel as Americans. You got our guy, Like, forget the

275
00:14:42,320 --> 00:14:46,360
Speaker 2: politics of anything. I would hate to think in this

276
00:14:46,560 --> 00:14:51,480
Speaker 2: moment he's tapping into that emotion we might be feeling

277
00:14:51,760 --> 00:14:53,160
Speaker 2: to push forward an agenda.

278
00:14:53,360 --> 00:14:54,200
Speaker 1: You get what I'm saying.

279
00:14:55,000 --> 00:14:58,960
Speaker 3: I don't even know what I want. Look, I don't

280
00:14:59,000 --> 00:15:01,000
Speaker 3: know about anyone else who's listening to this. And again,

281
00:15:01,040 --> 00:15:05,520
Speaker 3: this isn't about Republicans, Democrats, This isn't about politics. This

282
00:15:05,600 --> 00:15:08,720
Speaker 3: is about a human experience of yes, as a country.

283
00:15:09,040 --> 00:15:12,480
Speaker 4: Yes, like rooting and hoping and praying.

284
00:15:12,040 --> 00:15:16,040
Speaker 3: That whoever is out there who's ejected, hopefully safely from

285
00:15:16,120 --> 00:15:19,120
Speaker 3: this aircraft is safe and okay and will be found

286
00:15:19,200 --> 00:15:21,880
Speaker 3: by American search and rescue teams.

287
00:15:22,600 --> 00:15:24,800
Speaker 4: So you're literally on the.

288
00:15:24,840 --> 00:15:28,920
Speaker 3: Edge of your seat praying for this person's survival and safekeeping.

289
00:15:29,440 --> 00:15:32,960
Speaker 4: And the president is talking about oil. I don't know.

290
00:15:33,240 --> 00:15:35,520
Speaker 3: I don't know what his agenda is. I don't know

291
00:15:35,560 --> 00:15:37,760
Speaker 3: what his strategy is. I don't know if this is

292
00:15:37,800 --> 00:15:42,480
Speaker 3: about deflection or I don't know. But what I would

293
00:15:42,520 --> 00:15:45,400
Speaker 3: like to hear from our president is to acknowledge what's

294
00:15:45,440 --> 00:15:48,040
Speaker 3: happening on the ground and to say, pray for our

295
00:15:48,760 --> 00:15:51,200
Speaker 3: I don't know if it's our brother or our sister,

296
00:15:51,360 --> 00:15:56,040
Speaker 3: but acknowledge that the country is waiting and hoping and

297
00:15:56,080 --> 00:15:59,000
Speaker 3: praying and on the edges of their seats, waiting and

298
00:15:59,080 --> 00:16:03,600
Speaker 3: hoping that this person who has risked their life for America,

299
00:16:03,920 --> 00:16:08,840
Speaker 3: who has fulfilled their duty as an American member of

300
00:16:09,360 --> 00:16:13,760
Speaker 3: the military, who is doing the President's bidding, like.

301
00:16:13,760 --> 00:16:15,480
Speaker 4: To hear yes following orders.

302
00:16:15,520 --> 00:16:19,119
Speaker 3: I would like to hear the President acknowledge the concern

303
00:16:20,240 --> 00:16:23,720
Speaker 3: that's going on right now, that's happening collectively. I think

304
00:16:23,920 --> 00:16:26,080
Speaker 3: for a lot of folks who are aware of the situation,

305
00:16:26,200 --> 00:16:27,040
Speaker 3: it is a Friday.

306
00:16:27,080 --> 00:16:28,760
Speaker 4: I understand, it's a holiday weekend.

307
00:16:29,240 --> 00:16:32,080
Speaker 3: I understand that maybe not everybody is paying attention to this,

308
00:16:32,400 --> 00:16:34,520
Speaker 3: But for those of us who are, I would like

309
00:16:34,560 --> 00:16:38,720
Speaker 3: our president to be a leader in that regard and

310
00:16:38,800 --> 00:16:42,240
Speaker 3: acknowledge where we are right now, how we're feeling right now,

311
00:16:42,680 --> 00:16:45,480
Speaker 3: and his role in all of this as the leader

312
00:16:45,600 --> 00:16:47,080
Speaker 3: and personally, like.

313
00:16:47,280 --> 00:16:50,000
Speaker 4: I would like to say, as the person who chose

314
00:16:51,880 --> 00:16:54,440
Speaker 4: to enter this country into this conflict.

315
00:16:56,000 --> 00:16:58,440
Speaker 1: Oh, this is just a moment.

316
00:16:58,920 --> 00:17:01,720
Speaker 2: Like I said, it's I know Artemis isn't a part

317
00:17:01,720 --> 00:17:03,240
Speaker 2: of this, but I'm saying there are a few things

318
00:17:03,240 --> 00:17:06,680
Speaker 2: that bring us together. We were together in that Artemis launch,

319
00:17:06,720 --> 00:17:10,600
Speaker 2: watching our astronauts. No matter where you are on this war,

320
00:17:10,680 --> 00:17:13,040
Speaker 2: there's not a single American that's not concerned right now

321
00:17:13,080 --> 00:17:16,280
Speaker 2: for that person. I want that person to come home,

322
00:17:16,960 --> 00:17:20,920
Speaker 2: and so right now all that should be put aside

323
00:17:21,040 --> 00:17:23,000
Speaker 2: for a moment. I get what you're saying about the president.

324
00:17:23,080 --> 00:17:26,040
Speaker 2: He is not known to be a what a unifier,

325
00:17:26,119 --> 00:17:28,719
Speaker 2: a united in chief, a consoler in chief. He's not

326
00:17:28,800 --> 00:17:33,280
Speaker 2: necessarily known to be that. So maybe his tone is

327
00:17:33,320 --> 00:17:36,360
Speaker 2: continuous and he's consistent, right on brand as we say,

328
00:17:36,880 --> 00:17:39,159
Speaker 2: and he continues to be on brand. But right now,

329
00:17:40,000 --> 00:17:42,040
Speaker 2: wherever you are on your weekend, in the middle of

330
00:17:42,080 --> 00:17:44,879
Speaker 2: your plans, it's a long weekend for a lot of people.

331
00:17:45,320 --> 00:17:47,160
Speaker 2: This was something that was worth we thought we'd hop

332
00:17:47,160 --> 00:17:49,520
Speaker 2: on and this is a breaking situation that there will

333
00:17:49,560 --> 00:17:50,280
Speaker 2: be updates on.

334
00:17:50,760 --> 00:17:53,320
Speaker 4: Well, did you want to say what the parliament speak?

335
00:17:54,040 --> 00:17:54,200
Speaker 1: Really?

336
00:17:54,359 --> 00:17:57,760
Speaker 3: That's so important in the context of what give?

337
00:17:58,040 --> 00:18:01,639
Speaker 2: Please forgive? That is all most one of the most

338
00:18:01,920 --> 00:18:06,840
Speaker 2: significant and chilling parts of all of this robes. This

339
00:18:06,920 --> 00:18:09,480
Speaker 2: is an Iranian leader at this point, the head of

340
00:18:09,560 --> 00:18:12,960
Speaker 2: their parliament. I guess this is just how leaders talk.

341
00:18:13,000 --> 00:18:14,800
Speaker 3: Now ropes look, and I do think this is a

342
00:18:14,840 --> 00:18:17,600
Speaker 3: way to have some insight into where the Iranians are.

343
00:18:17,640 --> 00:18:20,640
Speaker 3: We don't know a lot obviously about what's happening within

344
00:18:20,720 --> 00:18:24,719
Speaker 3: that regime. We hear from our leadership that they're on

345
00:18:24,800 --> 00:18:28,439
Speaker 3: their third regime change. But what we're hearing from the

346
00:18:28,480 --> 00:18:31,359
Speaker 3: Trump administration flies in the face of I keep using

347
00:18:31,359 --> 00:18:33,480
Speaker 3: that phrase, but that has been maybe the theme of

348
00:18:33,520 --> 00:18:36,720
Speaker 3: this podcast. What we're hearing from the Iranians and after

349
00:18:37,000 --> 00:18:39,320
Speaker 3: everything that's been going on, we hear from our president

350
00:18:39,400 --> 00:18:40,680
Speaker 3: keep the oil anyone.

351
00:18:40,960 --> 00:18:43,640
Speaker 4: We hear from Iran from their parliament speaker.

352
00:18:43,960 --> 00:18:49,160
Speaker 3: This this brilliant no strategy war they started has now

353
00:18:49,240 --> 00:18:53,680
Speaker 3: been downgraded from regime change to hey, can anyone find

354
00:18:53,680 --> 00:19:00,760
Speaker 3: our pilots please? They're actually making fun of using snarky

355
00:19:01,000 --> 00:19:04,800
Speaker 3: about this desperate search that is going on, but also

356
00:19:05,320 --> 00:19:10,440
Speaker 3: taking the opportunity to basically say, uh yeah, mister president,

357
00:19:10,960 --> 00:19:14,399
Speaker 3: you're telling your people one thing, here's the reality, and

358
00:19:14,440 --> 00:19:15,760
Speaker 3: you all are looking at it right now.

359
00:19:15,760 --> 00:19:17,600
Speaker 2: Do you remember the times folks would look at some

360
00:19:17,640 --> 00:19:19,080
Speaker 2: of the things coming out of the Iran and some

361
00:19:19,160 --> 00:19:20,520
Speaker 2: of the language coming out.

362
00:19:21,960 --> 00:19:23,800
Speaker 1: Of the folks from Iran.

363
00:19:24,080 --> 00:19:27,000
Speaker 2: Some of the language are right mocking the fact that

364
00:19:27,040 --> 00:19:29,479
Speaker 2: we have somebody down, mocking the fact that we might

365
00:19:29,520 --> 00:19:32,199
Speaker 2: have an American injured or even killed we don't know,

366
00:19:32,800 --> 00:19:35,960
Speaker 2: mocking what's happening, and we would look at that and

367
00:19:35,960 --> 00:19:40,000
Speaker 2: say that's just disgusting, and then robes we put out

368
00:19:40,240 --> 00:19:43,240
Speaker 2: things left and right and treat bombings and killings like

369
00:19:43,320 --> 00:19:46,720
Speaker 2: video video games. So I look at this now and

370
00:19:47,000 --> 00:19:49,520
Speaker 2: I throw my hands up to like we were just

371
00:19:49,600 --> 00:19:49,920
Speaker 2: it's a.

372
00:19:49,920 --> 00:19:50,720
Speaker 1: Tit for tat.

373
00:19:50,960 --> 00:19:54,840
Speaker 4: You reap what you saw. That's what they say if it's.

374
00:19:54,760 --> 00:20:00,000
Speaker 2: A tit for tat on social media, even the battle

375
00:20:00,119 --> 00:20:01,320
Speaker 2: field and social media.

376
00:20:01,920 --> 00:20:04,040
Speaker 1: But folks, keep this in mind right now.

377
00:20:04,080 --> 00:20:07,160
Speaker 2: There could be some updates and we'll hop on as

378
00:20:07,200 --> 00:20:11,320
Speaker 2: they warrant, But this is a really, really serious, significant

379
00:20:11,320 --> 00:20:14,960
Speaker 2: situation right now to have an American as we speak

380
00:20:15,720 --> 00:20:19,520
Speaker 2: early evening here on the East Coast, an urgent search

381
00:20:19,600 --> 00:20:21,959
Speaker 2: is going on right now in Iran for an American,

382
00:20:22,520 --> 00:20:25,320
Speaker 2: an American service member who was the crew member of

383
00:20:25,359 --> 00:20:28,160
Speaker 2: an F fifteen that was shot down, and at this

384
00:20:28,240 --> 00:20:31,520
Speaker 2: point we do not know the fate of that service member.

385
00:20:31,560 --> 00:20:34,359
