We 8 00:00:22,440 --> 00:00:27,120 Speaker 1: are going to start immediately with what's going on between 9 00:00:27,160 --> 00:00:31,120 Speaker 1: the US, Israel and Iran, because you never know when 10 00:00:32,280 --> 00:00:34,800 Speaker 1: on a major escalation of that war is going to 11 00:00:35,360 --> 00:00:38,919 Speaker 1: occur and how big of an involvement we are going 12 00:00:39,000 --> 00:00:46,760 Speaker 1: to have. Trump has been intentionally vague or cryptic about 13 00:00:46,800 --> 00:00:49,559 Speaker 1: whether we are going to get involved with major bombing. 14 00:00:49,840 --> 00:00:56,600 Speaker 1: Looking for Iran's nuclear uranium enrichment and nuclear nuclear bomb 15 00:00:56,640 --> 00:01:01,600 Speaker 1: construction sites very deep in a mountain. The Tehran is 16 00:01:01,600 --> 00:01:07,559 Speaker 1: emptying out, Israel is bombing them pretty heavily. And we're 17 00:01:07,560 --> 00:01:11,200 Speaker 1: going to talk now with Jordana Miller, ABC News correspondent. 18 00:01:11,319 --> 00:01:13,480 Speaker 1: We've had her on many times from Jerusalem, and she's 19 00:01:13,480 --> 00:01:15,240 Speaker 1: going to tell us right up to the minute what's 20 00:01:15,280 --> 00:01:15,679 Speaker 1: going on. 21 00:01:18,200 --> 00:01:18,320 Speaker 2: Hi. 22 00:01:18,400 --> 00:01:21,720 Speaker 3: They're good to join you. I can tell you that 23 00:01:22,120 --> 00:01:26,800 Speaker 3: things seem just slightly quieter today than the first five 24 00:01:26,880 --> 00:01:33,240 Speaker 3: days since Israel launched its surprise attack on Iran's nuclear 25 00:01:33,920 --> 00:01:40,119 Speaker 3: and ballistic missile programs. For about fourteen hours there were 26 00:01:40,160 --> 00:01:47,360 Speaker 3: no sirens, no strikes from Iran. A short while ago 27 00:01:47,480 --> 00:01:49,480 Speaker 3: was the first one and it was in Tel Aviv, 28 00:01:49,520 --> 00:01:56,200 Speaker 3: and it was oddly just two ballistic missiles. Last night 29 00:01:56,800 --> 00:02:02,680 Speaker 3: there were several waves of strikes. About twenty ballistic missiles 30 00:02:02,680 --> 00:02:06,720 Speaker 3: were fired in the night before thirty. The numbers are dwindling, 31 00:02:07,520 --> 00:02:12,440 Speaker 3: and as we can see now also they're happening less frequently. 32 00:02:13,360 --> 00:02:16,959 Speaker 3: It's unclear if Aroan is doing this as it postures 33 00:02:17,000 --> 00:02:22,480 Speaker 3: to possibly de escalate so that President Trump will give 34 00:02:22,520 --> 00:02:26,160 Speaker 3: them another chance to negotiate instead of going into this war, 35 00:02:26,960 --> 00:02:32,200 Speaker 3: or if Israel has really crippled their ability to strike 36 00:02:32,240 --> 00:02:35,000 Speaker 3: back in a large way. Israel has taken out a 37 00:02:35,120 --> 00:02:38,839 Speaker 3: lot of their missile launchers and a lot of their 38 00:02:38,880 --> 00:02:44,600 Speaker 3: missiles and even their factories that are building missiles right 39 00:02:45,240 --> 00:02:47,800 Speaker 3: in the last several days. Or it could be that 40 00:02:47,840 --> 00:02:52,680 Speaker 3: Iran is just you know, pulling back because potentially they 41 00:02:52,680 --> 00:02:56,960 Speaker 3: could you know, fire on US assets as well. If 42 00:02:57,040 --> 00:03:01,560 Speaker 3: President Trump joins the war. You know, things have been 43 00:03:01,560 --> 00:03:06,400 Speaker 3: a little bit quieter, but there's you know, very very 44 00:03:06,520 --> 00:03:12,080 Speaker 3: very high tension here as everyone watches and waits to 45 00:03:12,160 --> 00:03:15,680 Speaker 3: see what President Trump decides. It's obviously going to be 46 00:03:16,360 --> 00:03:21,040 Speaker 3: a critical decision that could impact this region for decades 47 00:03:21,080 --> 00:03:21,440 Speaker 3: to come. 48 00:03:22,840 --> 00:03:26,840 Speaker 1: What is Trump looking for to keep American bombs from dropping? 49 00:03:27,320 --> 00:03:28,600 Speaker 1: Has he been clear about that? 50 00:03:32,880 --> 00:03:35,400 Speaker 3: What what the President would do? I mean, the President's 51 00:03:35,400 --> 00:03:35,840 Speaker 3: been very. 52 00:03:37,320 --> 00:03:39,480 Speaker 1: Yeah. What does he want iron to do? He says 53 00:03:39,560 --> 00:03:46,760 Speaker 1: unconditional surrender, and and that means exactly means right. 54 00:03:46,840 --> 00:03:51,000 Speaker 3: So I think what he means by that is agreeing 55 00:03:51,080 --> 00:03:55,800 Speaker 3: to the terms of the deal that he had offered 56 00:03:55,800 --> 00:04:02,480 Speaker 3: the Iranians, which was dismantle you're clear weapons program, get 57 00:04:02,560 --> 00:04:07,640 Speaker 3: rid of that highly enriched material, and limit your ballistic missiles. 58 00:04:09,200 --> 00:04:12,960 Speaker 3: And those are terms that Iran has said they would 59 00:04:13,000 --> 00:04:16,919 Speaker 3: never agree to, right. They said, If you'll remember, just 60 00:04:16,960 --> 00:04:20,120 Speaker 3: a week ago, we heard Iranian officials say, who is 61 00:04:20,160 --> 00:04:22,520 Speaker 3: the United States to tell us what we can enrich 62 00:04:22,600 --> 00:04:24,080 Speaker 3: what we can't in rich? 63 00:04:24,279 --> 00:04:24,440 Speaker 4: Right? 64 00:04:24,560 --> 00:04:28,839 Speaker 3: And they you know, continued to the Iranians have continued 65 00:04:28,880 --> 00:04:32,520 Speaker 3: to try to fool the world that they're enrichment program 66 00:04:32,600 --> 00:04:38,320 Speaker 3: was all about civil energy and clean energy. But you know, 67 00:04:38,440 --> 00:04:42,039 Speaker 3: no one needs to enrich uranium at those levels for 68 00:04:42,200 --> 00:04:50,320 Speaker 3: a civil nuclear energy program. And they had increasingly shut 69 00:04:50,360 --> 00:04:55,719 Speaker 3: out the International Atomic Energy Agency. Uh. And they even 70 00:04:55,839 --> 00:04:59,719 Speaker 3: you know, just a day before is all carried out. 71 00:04:59,760 --> 00:05:04,160 Speaker 3: It's surprise strike. They said that. You know, the i 72 00:05:04,320 --> 00:05:12,800 Speaker 3: A had basically sanctioned Iran right criticized Iran for violating 73 00:05:14,279 --> 00:05:20,160 Speaker 3: violating their commitments. So I think the president wants to 74 00:05:20,520 --> 00:05:24,920 Speaker 3: He wants Iran to give up its nuclear weapons. Uh, 75 00:05:25,000 --> 00:05:29,279 Speaker 3: it's fantasy or ambition to become a nuclear power. That's 76 00:05:29,320 --> 00:05:32,240 Speaker 3: what I think he means by surrender. Does he mean 77 00:05:32,480 --> 00:05:33,320 Speaker 3: regime change? 78 00:05:33,960 --> 00:05:34,320 Speaker 5: I don't. 79 00:05:34,360 --> 00:05:38,359 Speaker 3: I don't think so. But you know the Israelis, they're 80 00:05:38,360 --> 00:05:41,760 Speaker 3: one of their there. They do not have regime change 81 00:05:41,920 --> 00:05:45,440 Speaker 3: in their list of war aims. Right there after the 82 00:05:45,560 --> 00:05:49,760 Speaker 3: nuclear sites, they want to destroy them. They're after the 83 00:05:49,880 --> 00:05:53,480 Speaker 3: ballistic missile program. They want to considerably set that back. 84 00:05:54,120 --> 00:05:57,560 Speaker 3: Those are their official aims. They don't necessarily want to 85 00:05:57,560 --> 00:06:02,120 Speaker 3: topple the regime. Though Israeli officials will say, if that's 86 00:06:02,160 --> 00:06:04,720 Speaker 3: a byproduct, fine, no one, no one in Israel will 87 00:06:04,720 --> 00:06:08,120 Speaker 3: cry about that. But that is not that is not 88 00:06:08,320 --> 00:06:12,440 Speaker 3: their aim, and uh, you know, other officials here have said, 89 00:06:12,960 --> 00:06:16,279 Speaker 3: you know that changing or toppling the regime, that's a 90 00:06:16,400 --> 00:06:19,600 Speaker 3: choice that people of Iran need to make. We're taking 91 00:06:19,680 --> 00:06:24,840 Speaker 3: care of national security interests, and that means getting rid 92 00:06:24,920 --> 00:06:28,920 Speaker 3: of this nuclear program and these these dangerous ballistic missiles. 93 00:06:29,320 --> 00:06:31,640 Speaker 3: The rest, you know, will leave up to the Iranian people. 94 00:06:32,400 --> 00:06:35,440 Speaker 1: It doesn't seem like Iran has the defenses to keep 95 00:06:35,560 --> 00:06:39,880 Speaker 1: Israel in the US from destroying their nuclear facilities. If 96 00:06:40,040 --> 00:06:43,279 Speaker 1: that's the choice made. It doesn't seem like they're equipped 97 00:06:43,279 --> 00:06:44,080 Speaker 1: to fight this off. 98 00:06:45,600 --> 00:06:48,359 Speaker 3: They aren't. I do not believe they are equipped to 99 00:06:48,440 --> 00:06:54,400 Speaker 3: fight fight it off, right. They can't. You know, they 100 00:06:54,440 --> 00:06:56,920 Speaker 3: can't fight off the Israelis. They're certainly not going to 101 00:06:56,920 --> 00:07:00,360 Speaker 3: be able to fight off the US, the US Army, right, 102 00:07:00,400 --> 00:07:04,840 Speaker 3: the US Air Force. I mean, they're in a terrible 103 00:07:05,040 --> 00:07:12,240 Speaker 3: position right now. And remember how may Nay, the supreme leader. 104 00:07:12,880 --> 00:07:19,600 Speaker 3: He lost ten of his twelve closest military advisors, more 105 00:07:19,640 --> 00:07:24,280 Speaker 3: than a dozen of his top nuclear scientists. He is 106 00:07:24,320 --> 00:07:28,800 Speaker 3: in hiding, he's isolated. There are concerns about whether he's 107 00:07:28,800 --> 00:07:32,320 Speaker 3: even being told the truth about how bad the situation is. 108 00:07:32,720 --> 00:07:34,840 Speaker 1: Right years old, isn't. 109 00:07:36,160 --> 00:07:42,320 Speaker 3: Yep, yep, he's eighty six, yep, and he had a 110 00:07:42,400 --> 00:07:49,480 Speaker 3: you know, an iron fist hold over Iran, right. You know, Unfortunately, 111 00:07:49,520 --> 00:07:56,320 Speaker 3: because Iran is not doesn't have any kind of transparency, right, 112 00:07:57,520 --> 00:08:00,080 Speaker 3: it's hard to even find out what's going on in 113 00:08:00,120 --> 00:08:03,280 Speaker 3: side Iran, how the people of Iran feel. I mean, 114 00:08:03,400 --> 00:08:09,400 Speaker 3: the Supreme Leader has cut internet access, you know, they 115 00:08:09,440 --> 00:08:12,600 Speaker 3: are certainly they didn't allow reporters there right to tell 116 00:08:12,600 --> 00:08:17,440 Speaker 3: you what's happening. And people are also, with good reason, 117 00:08:17,480 --> 00:08:22,200 Speaker 3: afraid to talk. So we don't have a clear picture 118 00:08:22,840 --> 00:08:25,800 Speaker 3: of what's going on inside Iran. We only found out 119 00:08:25,880 --> 00:08:30,800 Speaker 3: today on day six, a very broad general number of 120 00:08:30,840 --> 00:08:32,040 Speaker 3: the people who've been killed. 121 00:08:32,200 --> 00:08:32,360 Speaker 1: Right. 122 00:08:32,400 --> 00:08:35,440 Speaker 3: It took around days to say that about two hundred 123 00:08:35,480 --> 00:08:38,600 Speaker 3: and fifty people had been killed, and then today we 124 00:08:38,640 --> 00:08:42,960 Speaker 3: heard an Iranian officials say hundreds have been killed. You know, 125 00:08:43,000 --> 00:08:48,440 Speaker 3: there's a human rights a human rights group that's outside 126 00:08:48,480 --> 00:08:52,680 Speaker 3: of Iran that's collecting information that believes about five hundred 127 00:08:52,679 --> 00:08:57,400 Speaker 3: and fifty people have been killed. But again, it's hard 128 00:08:57,400 --> 00:09:01,160 Speaker 3: to know exactly what's going on inside. And so while 129 00:09:01,520 --> 00:09:04,440 Speaker 3: the Israelis say, you know, we don't we're not about 130 00:09:04,520 --> 00:09:10,160 Speaker 3: regime change, they you know it's true what it is. 131 00:09:10,280 --> 00:09:13,400 Speaker 3: It is true that a byproduct of what they're doing 132 00:09:13,640 --> 00:09:18,600 Speaker 3: is obviously destabilizing the regime, right, and the Israeli's bombed 133 00:09:18,200 --> 00:09:25,520 Speaker 3: the They bombed the Iranian State TV headquarters and their 134 00:09:25,640 --> 00:09:30,920 Speaker 3: radio headquarters, and they hit near their Interior ministry and 135 00:09:30,960 --> 00:09:37,240 Speaker 3: their police. Right, So they are going after the regime, 136 00:09:37,920 --> 00:09:41,000 Speaker 3: you know, some governmental aspects of the regime and not 137 00:09:42,040 --> 00:09:47,280 Speaker 3: just their military and nuclear sites. That became clear, it's 138 00:09:47,280 --> 00:09:50,360 Speaker 3: becoming more clear today and some of the things that 139 00:09:50,400 --> 00:09:51,080 Speaker 3: they targeted. 140 00:09:51,600 --> 00:09:54,840 Speaker 1: All right, Jordana Miller, ABC News, thank you, excellent reporting 141 00:09:55,240 --> 00:10:01,200 Speaker 1: as always, Thanks Tucson Aks. Jordana Miller in Jerusalem. We'll 142 00:10:01,240 --> 00:10:06,520 Speaker 1: have some audio clips to play of Trump musing on 143 00:10:06,559 --> 00:10:09,160 Speaker 1: what he's going to do. And again it looks like 144 00:10:09,480 --> 00:10:14,679 Speaker 1: the main demands are to dismantle the uranium and Richmond site, 145 00:10:14,720 --> 00:10:19,600 Speaker 1: to dismantle their capabilities of creating nuclear weapons, and also 146 00:10:22,240 --> 00:10:27,319 Speaker 1: ending somehow restricting their ballistic missile development. All that coming 147 00:10:27,440 --> 00:10:28,400 Speaker 1: up in next segment. 148 00:10:29,280 --> 00:10:33,600 Speaker 5: You're listening to John Cobelt on demand from KFI AM 149 00:10:33,640 --> 00:10:34,160 Speaker 5: six forty. 150 00:10:35,679 --> 00:10:38,840 Speaker 1: John Cobelt Moistline on Friday is eight seven seven moist 151 00:10:38,840 --> 00:10:42,080 Speaker 1: eighty six eight seven seven Moist eighty six are usually 152 00:10:42,200 --> 00:10:45,880 Speaker 1: talkback feature on the iHeartRadio app. We just had Jordana 153 00:10:45,960 --> 00:10:50,560 Speaker 1: Miller on the ABC News correspondent in Jerusalem because it's 154 00:10:50,600 --> 00:10:54,320 Speaker 1: become clear that that something bad is going to happen 155 00:10:54,400 --> 00:10:58,120 Speaker 1: to Iran imminently or at least sometime in the next 156 00:10:58,200 --> 00:11:02,840 Speaker 1: few days, unless they offer unconditional surrender to Israel and Trump, 157 00:11:03,280 --> 00:11:05,640 Speaker 1: and by that it means that they are going to 158 00:11:06,520 --> 00:11:11,680 Speaker 1: agree to dismantle their uranium enrichment operation which is buried 159 00:11:11,679 --> 00:11:15,480 Speaker 1: deep inside a mountain, and they're also going to restrict 160 00:11:15,480 --> 00:11:20,000 Speaker 1: their ballistic missile supply and use of those ballistic missiles, 161 00:11:20,400 --> 00:11:26,680 Speaker 1: and also stop developing nuclear weapons. And unless Israel and 162 00:11:26,679 --> 00:11:30,360 Speaker 1: Trump get all of those concessions and get them immediately, 163 00:11:31,000 --> 00:11:34,440 Speaker 1: then Israel is going to go in there, probably backed 164 00:11:34,520 --> 00:11:37,520 Speaker 1: up by the United States. And the key job that 165 00:11:37,640 --> 00:11:41,880 Speaker 1: we would have is we have these thirty thousand pound bombs. 166 00:11:41,880 --> 00:11:46,480 Speaker 1: They're called bunk or buster bombs because the uranium enrichment 167 00:11:46,559 --> 00:11:50,559 Speaker 1: facility is buried deep inside a mountain and there are 168 00:11:50,720 --> 00:11:55,680 Speaker 1: very few weapons that could penetrate the mountain. I forget 169 00:11:55,679 --> 00:11:58,720 Speaker 1: exactly how deep they are, but it's quite a distance, 170 00:11:59,160 --> 00:12:01,800 Speaker 1: and so you need these thirty pound bombs, and there's 171 00:12:01,800 --> 00:12:05,240 Speaker 1: only so many bombers that are capable of dropping something 172 00:12:05,280 --> 00:12:08,679 Speaker 1: that big and destructive. It's like two hundred feet below 173 00:12:08,720 --> 00:12:12,480 Speaker 1: the surface, under concrete and stuff. Yeah yeah, so's it 174 00:12:12,520 --> 00:12:16,200 Speaker 1: would take repeated blasts to bust all that up. And 175 00:12:16,360 --> 00:12:18,840 Speaker 1: you're also taking a risk that some of that nuclear 176 00:12:18,920 --> 00:12:23,280 Speaker 1: energy could get released into the atmosphere. So it's clear 177 00:12:23,360 --> 00:12:25,920 Speaker 1: that I think the United States is in position to 178 00:12:26,040 --> 00:12:28,520 Speaker 1: do something like that if Trump decides to pull the 179 00:12:28,559 --> 00:12:32,320 Speaker 1: trigger and Israel is doing a lot of damage on 180 00:12:32,360 --> 00:12:35,080 Speaker 1: their own now, they put out signals in Israel that 181 00:12:35,760 --> 00:12:38,839 Speaker 1: people should clear out I think right or Americans ought 182 00:12:38,840 --> 00:12:43,960 Speaker 1: to clear out. Tehran is emptying out and Trump took 183 00:12:44,000 --> 00:12:46,360 Speaker 1: some questions on this. Today they had some kind of 184 00:12:46,440 --> 00:12:50,280 Speaker 1: flagpole installation ceremony at the White House. I heard. I 185 00:12:50,320 --> 00:12:53,080 Speaker 1: heard some of this on the radio this morning. Let 186 00:12:53,120 --> 00:12:56,800 Speaker 1: me start with cutting number seven, because the reporters were asking, 187 00:12:56,880 --> 00:12:59,200 Speaker 1: what does unconditional surrender mean? 188 00:12:59,280 --> 00:13:03,200 Speaker 3: Specifically, what does unconditional surrender mean? 189 00:13:03,360 --> 00:13:04,840 Speaker 4: Would you know what it is like? Condition? 190 00:13:04,880 --> 00:13:06,400 Speaker 6: Can you explain it? Promos yourself? 191 00:13:06,559 --> 00:13:09,480 Speaker 4: Wor It's a very simple unconditional surrender. 192 00:13:09,440 --> 00:13:11,880 Speaker 1: That means I've had it. Okay, I've had it. 193 00:13:11,840 --> 00:13:13,240 Speaker 5: I give up no more. 194 00:13:14,200 --> 00:13:16,199 Speaker 4: Then we go blow up all and you know, all 195 00:13:16,240 --> 00:13:18,240 Speaker 4: the nuclear stuff that's all over the place. 196 00:13:18,280 --> 00:13:20,800 Speaker 1: Then now they had bad intentions. 197 00:13:20,840 --> 00:13:23,760 Speaker 4: You know that for forty years they've been saying death 198 00:13:23,800 --> 00:13:26,440 Speaker 4: to America, death to Israel, death to anybody else that 199 00:13:26,480 --> 00:13:32,040 Speaker 4: they didn't like. They were bullies, they were schoolyard bullies. 200 00:13:33,520 --> 00:13:36,280 Speaker 4: And now they're not bullies anymore. But we'll see what happens. Look, 201 00:13:36,360 --> 00:13:39,760 Speaker 4: nothing's finished until it's finished. Our war is very complex. 202 00:13:39,760 --> 00:13:41,800 Speaker 4: A lot of bad things can happen, a lot of 203 00:13:41,840 --> 00:13:44,120 Speaker 4: turns that made so I don't know. I wouldn't say 204 00:13:44,760 --> 00:13:47,920 Speaker 4: that we want anything yet. I would say that we 205 00:13:48,080 --> 00:13:51,000 Speaker 4: sure as all made a lot of progress. And we'll see. 206 00:13:51,160 --> 00:13:52,920 Speaker 4: The next week is going to be very big. Maybe 207 00:13:53,000 --> 00:13:56,080 Speaker 4: less than a week, maybe less. But is there anybody 208 00:13:56,080 --> 00:13:58,560 Speaker 4: here that said it would be okay to have to 209 00:13:58,640 --> 00:13:59,840 Speaker 4: have a hostel. 210 00:14:01,240 --> 00:14:03,360 Speaker 1: Very you know, zealous, really, but to. 211 00:14:03,320 --> 00:14:05,760 Speaker 4: Have a hostile country have a nuclear. 212 00:14:05,400 --> 00:14:06,439 Speaker 1: Weapon that could. 213 00:14:07,280 --> 00:14:11,320 Speaker 4: Destroy twenty five miles, but much more than that could 214 00:14:11,360 --> 00:14:14,760 Speaker 4: destroy other nations just by the breeze blowing the dust. 215 00:14:15,000 --> 00:14:17,040 Speaker 4: You know that dust blows to other nations and they 216 00:14:17,080 --> 00:14:19,400 Speaker 4: get decimated this is just not a threat you can have. 217 00:14:20,280 --> 00:14:21,840 Speaker 1: And we've been threatened. 218 00:14:21,440 --> 00:14:23,000 Speaker 4: By Iran for many years. 219 00:14:23,280 --> 00:14:24,840 Speaker 1: You know, if you go back and look at. 220 00:14:24,760 --> 00:14:26,920 Speaker 4: My history, if you go back fifteen years, I was 221 00:14:26,920 --> 00:14:30,120 Speaker 4: saying we cannot let Iran get a nuclear weapon. I've 222 00:14:30,120 --> 00:14:31,480 Speaker 4: been saying it for a long time. 223 00:14:31,920 --> 00:14:33,680 Speaker 5: I mean it more now than. 224 00:14:33,560 --> 00:14:34,480 Speaker 4: I ever mentioned. 225 00:14:34,720 --> 00:14:38,200 Speaker 1: Oh, and now they've been getting very close. It's they 226 00:14:38,240 --> 00:14:41,480 Speaker 1: suspect around would have it working within a year. So 227 00:14:41,600 --> 00:14:44,000 Speaker 1: this has been building for a long long time. The 228 00:14:44,400 --> 00:14:47,880 Speaker 1: Iyatola crowd has been running around forty six years, going 229 00:14:47,960 --> 00:14:50,840 Speaker 1: back to when they grabbed all those American hostages back 230 00:14:50,880 --> 00:14:54,640 Speaker 1: in nineteen seventy nine. Let's play cut number six. A 231 00:14:54,720 --> 00:14:57,880 Speaker 1: reporter asked Trump, if we really are getting close to 232 00:14:57,960 --> 00:14:59,280 Speaker 1: bombing the nuclear sites? 233 00:14:59,800 --> 00:15:03,280 Speaker 3: Have are questions about whether you are moving closer? 234 00:15:03,400 --> 00:15:04,320 Speaker 5: You believe the US is. 235 00:15:04,320 --> 00:15:07,560 Speaker 7: Moving closer to striking Iranian nuclear facilities. 236 00:15:07,560 --> 00:15:08,680 Speaker 6: Where's your mindset on that? 237 00:15:08,720 --> 00:15:11,360 Speaker 4: You can say that right? You don't seriously think I'm 238 00:15:11,360 --> 00:15:14,320 Speaker 4: going to answer that question? Will you strike the Iranian 239 00:15:14,440 --> 00:15:19,400 Speaker 4: nuclear component? And what time exactly, sir sir, would you 240 00:15:19,440 --> 00:15:21,960 Speaker 4: strike it? Would you please inform us so we can 241 00:15:22,000 --> 00:15:24,520 Speaker 4: be there and watch. I mean, you don't know that 242 00:15:24,560 --> 00:15:26,280 Speaker 4: I'm going to even do it. You don't know. I 243 00:15:26,320 --> 00:15:27,880 Speaker 4: may do it, I may not do it. I mean, 244 00:15:27,880 --> 00:15:29,520 Speaker 4: nobody knows what I'm going to do. I can tell 245 00:15:29,560 --> 00:15:34,360 Speaker 4: you this that Iran's got a lot of trouble and 246 00:15:34,400 --> 00:15:37,360 Speaker 4: they want to negotiate. And I said, why didn't you 247 00:15:37,400 --> 00:15:41,040 Speaker 4: negotiate with me before all this death and destruction? Why 248 00:15:41,080 --> 00:15:43,440 Speaker 4: in you neigot? I said to the people, why didn't 249 00:15:43,440 --> 00:15:46,520 Speaker 4: you negotiate with me two weeks ago? You could have 250 00:15:46,560 --> 00:15:51,000 Speaker 4: done fine, You would have had a country. It's very 251 00:15:51,040 --> 00:15:53,920 Speaker 4: sad to watch this. I mean, I've never said anything 252 00:15:54,000 --> 00:15:56,200 Speaker 4: like it, So you neveryone thought it was going to 253 00:15:56,200 --> 00:15:56,800 Speaker 4: be the reverse. 254 00:15:56,800 --> 00:15:57,160 Speaker 5: I didn't. 255 00:15:57,240 --> 00:15:59,560 Speaker 4: I didn't think so.

It's it's. 264 00:16:21,520 --> 00:16:23,440 Speaker 4: I don't know. There's a big difference between now and 265 00:16:23,640 --> 00:16:25,440 Speaker 4: a week ago, right, big differ. 266 00:16:26,880 --> 00:16:29,280 Speaker 1: Helps that we may meet. Course is about the dance. 267 00:16:31,360 --> 00:16:34,400 Speaker 4: It's about anybody. They even suggested they come to the 268 00:16:34,400 --> 00:16:38,720 Speaker 4: White House. It's a big difference, but they've suggested that 269 00:16:38,760 --> 00:16:43,120 Speaker 4: they come to the White House. That's you know, courageous, 270 00:16:43,160 --> 00:16:45,320 Speaker 4: but you know it's like not easy for them to do, 271 00:16:46,160 --> 00:16:48,840 Speaker 4: but they suggest. Because I can't go now because of 272 00:16:48,880 --> 00:16:50,600 Speaker 4: what's going on. I had to come back early from 273 00:16:50,600 --> 00:16:52,920 Speaker 4: the G seven, which was terrific by the way, in Canada, 274 00:16:53,200 --> 00:16:53,840 Speaker 4: really terrific. 275 00:16:53,920 --> 00:16:54,360 Speaker 1: Good people. 276 00:16:54,520 --> 00:16:55,920 Speaker 7: Is there a possibility of next week? 277 00:16:56,120 --> 00:16:58,800 Speaker 4: We are sooner that you well, I don't know how 278 00:16:58,880 --> 00:16:59,880 Speaker 4: much longer it's going to go. 279 00:17:01,080 --> 00:17:04,240 Speaker 1: And then he was asked if he has a message 280 00:17:04,240 --> 00:17:07,480 Speaker 1: for the Iyatola, have. 281 00:17:07,400 --> 00:17:15,000 Speaker 4: A line, say good luck, good luck to the. 282 00:17:18,920 --> 00:17:20,240 Speaker 1: You got to blow his habit him. 283 00:17:20,640 --> 00:17:22,800 Speaker 4: You're gonna take out where they have sixty days and 284 00:17:23,119 --> 00:17:26,840 Speaker 4: a big you know, sixty days money at time, and they. 285 00:17:26,680 --> 00:17:31,520 Speaker 1: Made a mistake. You've paid out of that. You know, 286 00:17:31,760 --> 00:17:34,919 Speaker 1: this is what's important. He gave the Iatola sixty days 287 00:17:35,080 --> 00:17:37,480 Speaker 1: and on the sixty first day, they said times up, 288 00:17:37,840 --> 00:17:41,120 Speaker 1: and we're coming in. And now the Ayatola is dangling 289 00:17:41,160 --> 00:17:43,760 Speaker 1: there and Trump goes, I don't know, maybe I'll do it, 290 00:17:43,800 --> 00:17:45,920 Speaker 1: maybe I won't. I don't know. You know, we'll see 291 00:17:46,040 --> 00:17:48,600 Speaker 1: and so can you imagine what it's like inside tehron 292 00:17:49,359 --> 00:17:51,919 Speaker 1: or the Iatota lost ten of his twelve top guys. 293 00:17:52,359 --> 00:17:55,040 Speaker 1: And it's important. If you give somebody a sixty day deadline, 294 00:17:55,080 --> 00:17:57,879 Speaker 1: then yeah, you do blow up their nuclear facility on 295 00:17:58,240 --> 00:18:01,359 Speaker 1: day sixty one or shortly thereafter. Otherwise nobody else in 296 00:18:01,400 --> 00:18:04,119 Speaker 1: the world's ever gonna believe you. The next time there 297 00:18:04,160 --> 00:18:06,320 Speaker 1: is another crisis. And then one more clip. 298 00:18:06,920 --> 00:18:07,040 Speaker 3: Uh. 299 00:18:07,280 --> 00:18:10,280 Speaker 1: Trump had a question for the flagpole installers. 300 00:18:11,320 --> 00:18:13,080 Speaker 4: Do we have anybody and here's that's a number of 301 00:18:13,280 --> 00:18:14,320 Speaker 4: young and I don't think. 302 00:18:14,200 --> 00:18:15,639 Speaker 3: But you've known all these people. 303 00:18:15,359 --> 00:18:20,200 Speaker 4: Who are wrong clock any illegal immigrant point if they will, 304 00:18:20,280 --> 00:18:21,000 Speaker 4: they'll find happen. 305 00:18:22,080 --> 00:18:23,080 Speaker 1: They'll be checking you. 306 00:18:23,080 --> 00:18:26,040 Speaker 4: You won't believe your whole life will be destroyed because 307 00:18:26,040 --> 00:18:27,080 Speaker 4: of this press conference. 308 00:18:27,119 --> 00:18:28,679 Speaker 1: So I've still destroyed these people. 309 00:18:29,040 --> 00:18:31,200 Speaker 4: I didn't want to tell them that before this did happen. 310 00:18:31,640 --> 00:18:34,639 Speaker 4: They'll end up being a he's so, and so this 311 00:18:34,680 --> 00:18:38,400 Speaker 4: one is from you nowhere.

It 327 00:19:28,160 --> 00:19:31,199 Speaker 1: looks like they're headed in that direction. But to Trump 328 00:19:31,280 --> 00:19:35,000 Speaker 1: is saying publicly, just talked to CNN that you know, 329 00:19:35,160 --> 00:19:40,240 Speaker 1: they haven't made a decision yet. Meantime, on the other 330 00:19:40,280 --> 00:19:44,840 Speaker 1: side of reality, you had the Goofballs who had their 331 00:19:44,880 --> 00:19:50,320 Speaker 1: no Kings protest on Saturday. They announced that they're going 332 00:19:50,359 --> 00:19:56,000 Speaker 1: to have another one. They accomplished absolutely nothing with those 333 00:19:56,040 --> 00:20:00,880 Speaker 1: protests over the weekend, nothing except, you know, cost LA 334 00:20:01,000 --> 00:20:06,320 Speaker 1: taxpayers billions of dollars. So having accomplished zero, they're going 335 00:20:06,359 --> 00:20:12,560 Speaker 1: to do it again. On July seventeenth, sixty demonstrations planned 336 00:20:12,840 --> 00:20:19,800 Speaker 1: for that day. The ACLU is running this one of 337 00:20:19,840 --> 00:20:22,800 Speaker 1: the did you do you remember what I told you 338 00:20:22,840 --> 00:20:28,879 Speaker 1: about the ACLU chief makes yeah, a million three, a 339 00:20:28,920 --> 00:20:31,880 Speaker 1: million three. Now, when you run an organization that depends 340 00:20:31,640 --> 00:20:36,040 Speaker 1: on donations and you yourself grab a million three of 341 00:20:36,040 --> 00:20:40,760 Speaker 1: those donations, you got to keep the juices flowing. You've 342 00:20:40,760 --> 00:20:44,520 Speaker 1: got to keep emotionally manipulating people and make them think 343 00:20:44,880 --> 00:20:48,960 Speaker 1: they can go out into the street and we're going 344 00:20:49,040 --> 00:20:53,880 Speaker 1: to change presidents that way. Is it fascinating? I would 345 00:20:53,880 --> 00:20:57,159 Speaker 1: say it's delusional, except I know why these organizations do it. 346 00:20:57,200 --> 00:20:59,200 Speaker 1: They make a lot of money and they employ a 347 00:20:59,240 --> 00:21:04,639 Speaker 1: lot of people. So their business is emotionally manipulating the 348 00:21:04,720 --> 00:21:10,000 Speaker 1: psychologically damaged, the people with emotional disorders, the easily excitable. 349 00:21:10,400 --> 00:21:13,600 Speaker 1: And that's what's going on. You know, after five days, 350 00:21:13,640 --> 00:21:17,800 Speaker 1: I think everybody's realized, wowouh, I's still president. I thought 351 00:21:17,800 --> 00:21:23,320 Speaker 1: we were deposing the king. What happened here? Meantime, I'll 352 00:21:23,400 --> 00:21:26,880 Speaker 1: get to this in a second. He's sending in more 353 00:21:27,359 --> 00:21:31,600 Speaker 1: National Guard troops and they're going to have more ICE 354 00:21:31,640 --> 00:21:36,560 Speaker 1: agents arresting and detaining more illegal aliens here in LA 355 00:21:37,760 --> 00:21:43,080 Speaker 1: and everywhere else. So instead of him taking the hint 356 00:21:43,200 --> 00:21:46,119 Speaker 1: that he's not allowed to be king. He's responding with 357 00:21:46,760 --> 00:21:53,560 Speaker 1: more of everything. So, hey, July seventeenth, it's great. It'll 358 00:21:53,640 --> 00:21:58,400 Speaker 1: end up costing taxpayers here millions more, but I'm sure 359 00:21:58,440 --> 00:22:05,200 Speaker 1: the protests will be mostly peaceful. In fact, they'll you'll 360 00:22:05,200 --> 00:22:09,479 Speaker 1: see all the news operations will tell you for twelve 361 00:22:09,480 --> 00:22:15,320 Speaker 1: hours it's mostly peaceful. It's mostly peaceful. Right, there could 362 00:22:15,359 --> 00:22:19,119 Speaker 1: be mass killings in the street, there could be entire 363 00:22:19,359 --> 00:22:25,560 Speaker 1: blocks burning. It's mostly peaceful. So July seventeenth is the 364 00:22:25,640 --> 00:22:33,320 Speaker 1: date the White House did call the June fourteenth protest 365 00:22:33,359 --> 00:22:37,280 Speaker 1: an utter failure, and if they're wrong, point to the success. 366 00:22:37,440 --> 00:22:44,080 Speaker 1: The success, point to what changed nothing. Meantime, I looked 367 00:22:44,119 --> 00:22:48,000 Speaker 1: at the New York Times, the Alley Times, and uh Politico, 368 00:22:48,240 --> 00:22:51,119 Speaker 1: and they all have similar headlines that they think the 369 00:22:51,119 --> 00:22:55,640 Speaker 1: Federal Appeals Court is likely to side for the most 370 00:22:55,680 --> 00:23:01,000 Speaker 1: part with Trump to keep the National Guard here until 371 00:23:01,520 --> 00:23:05,640 Speaker 1: further notice. Yesterday was a little over an hour long. 372 00:23:05,760 --> 00:23:09,720 Speaker 1: The hearing three judge panel, two Trump appointees, one Biden appointee. 373 00:23:10,000 --> 00:23:12,080 Speaker 1: It seemed like the Trump appointees and even to some 374 00:23:12,160 --> 00:23:15,600 Speaker 1: extent the Biden appointee, thought that Trump had the better 375 00:23:15,680 --> 00:23:19,240 Speaker 1: legal argument as to who ultimately controls the National Guard, 376 00:23:20,040 --> 00:23:25,679 Speaker 1: and all of Newsom's feeble huffing and puffing, that's just 377 00:23:25,800 --> 00:23:29,879 Speaker 1: his attempt to try to start his national campaign to 378 00:23:29,920 --> 00:23:34,280 Speaker 1: look like the king of Trump resistors. And I told 379 00:23:34,320 --> 00:23:36,720 Speaker 1: you yesterday Newsom is starting out with a twenty nine 380 00:23:36,720 --> 00:23:41,239 Speaker 1: percent approval rating across the country. In California, it's not 381 00:23:41,280 --> 00:23:43,960 Speaker 1: so hot either. Even in California, he's only got forty 382 00:23:43,960 --> 00:23:48,040 Speaker 1: four percent approval. So he's a guy who increasingly has 383 00:23:48,080 --> 00:23:54,040 Speaker 1: no following. Trump is sending two thousand more military troops 384 00:23:54,080 --> 00:23:58,239 Speaker 1: to LA, two thousand National Guard troops because there's going 385 00:23:58,320 --> 00:24:00,760 Speaker 1: to be more immigration cracked down, there's going to be 386 00:24:00,760 --> 00:24:05,879 Speaker 1: more raids, more detainees. They expect more protests, more resistance. 387 00:24:07,080 --> 00:24:13,440 Speaker 1: So there's now these troops are from the forty ninth 388 00:24:13,480 --> 00:24:18,960 Speaker 1: Military Police Brigade Fairfield in northern California, and uh, you're 389 00:24:18,960 --> 00:24:24,800 Speaker 1: get You're getting thousands more and ICE arrests. It turns out, 390 00:24:26,040 --> 00:24:28,399 Speaker 1: I guess the No Kings protesters didn't even know this. 391 00:24:29,200 --> 00:24:33,480 Speaker 1: The ICE arrests, according to Channel seven, was going on 392 00:24:33,880 --> 00:24:40,600 Speaker 1: weeks before the LA raids, and the eight the agency 393 00:24:40,760 --> 00:24:44,240 Speaker 1: made has made twenty three thousand five hundred and sixty 394 00:24:44,240 --> 00:24:49,879 Speaker 1: four arrests just last month. This was before the surge 395 00:24:49,920 --> 00:24:54,199 Speaker 1: here in La twenty three thousand people. Yeah, so that 396 00:24:54,720 --> 00:24:58,080 Speaker 1: all the protests and screaming and whining from the likes 397 00:24:58,080 --> 00:25:01,679 Speaker 1: of Newsom, who really is impotent, isn't I mean, he's 398 00:25:01,760 --> 00:25:06,800 Speaker 1: really flaccid. He's got no juice at all. The acting 399 00:25:06,840 --> 00:25:10,120 Speaker 1: ICE director said, no protesters are going to block our way. 400 00:25:11,000 --> 00:25:13,920 Speaker 1: Since January twentieth, we've been making arrests in Los Angeles 401 00:25:13,920 --> 00:25:19,080 Speaker 1: and all around the country. Now compared to last year, 402 00:25:19,840 --> 00:25:24,000 Speaker 1: after Biden woke up belatedly realized the immigration issue was 403 00:25:24,000 --> 00:25:28,480 Speaker 1: destroying his reelection chances. Last year, ICE made eighty four 404 00:25:28,560 --> 00:25:32,119 Speaker 1: hundred arrests in May. Now it's twenty three thousand. Not 405 00:25:32,240 --> 00:25:35,199 Speaker 1: to mention that the activity on the southern border is 406 00:25:35,400 --> 00:25:39,280 Speaker 1: near zero. So there's a lot of personnel that's freed 407 00:25:39,359 --> 00:25:42,359 Speaker 1: up now that isn't stopping a legal alien crossing the border, 408 00:25:42,840 --> 00:25:45,800 Speaker 1: and they're able to, you know, to do whatever they 409 00:25:45,840 --> 00:25:48,440 Speaker 1: need to do. Inland. There is no word from the 410 00:25:48,480 --> 00:25:52,639 Speaker 1: Appeals Court today. I have a feeling if they thought 411 00:25:52,720 --> 00:25:55,639 Speaker 1: it was such an outrage that Trump had the National 412 00:25:55,640 --> 00:25:58,440 Speaker 1: Guard here, they would have issued some kind of immediate 413 00:25:58,600 --> 00:26:04,200 Speaker 1: order blocking. But it looks like they're taking their time, 414 00:26:05,440 --> 00:26:11,199 Speaker 1: and you know, they might offer some restrictions and then 415 00:26:11,240 --> 00:26:13,359 Speaker 1: if Trump doesn't like any of the restrictions, it's going 416 00:26:13,440 --> 00:26:15,920 Speaker 1: to go on to further appeal and eventually the Supreme Court. 417 00:26:16,080 --> 00:26:18,080 Speaker 1: I'm sure Newsoman's going to push this to the Supreme 418 00:26:18,119 --> 00:26:20,720 Speaker 1: Court or I don't know, maybe not. Maybe he doesn't 419 00:26:20,720 --> 00:26:23,440 Speaker 1: want an ultimate ruling from the Supreme Court on this, 420 00:26:23,520 --> 00:26:28,080 Speaker 1: and see likely he'd likely lose. All Right, we got 421 00:26:28,560 --> 00:26:29,280 Speaker 1: more coming up. 422 00:26:30,240 --> 00:26:35,119 Speaker 5: You're listening to John Cobelt on demand from KFI A sixty. 423 00:26:35,920 --> 00:26:38,560 Speaker 1: Follow us at social media, John Cobelt Radio at John 424 00:26:38,640 --> 00:26:41,919 Speaker 1: Cobelt Radio, heading for thirty thousand followers.

In this case, 432 00:27:09,080 --> 00:27:14,399 Speaker 1: the sheriff Sheriff's Department blew off the body part. It 433 00:27:14,480 --> 00:27:16,760 Speaker 1: was a flash bang injury. So play cut number three. 434 00:27:16,840 --> 00:27:19,119 Speaker 1: Fox eleven Matthew Seedarth. 435 00:27:21,160 --> 00:27:23,720 Speaker 6: New images from days of chaotic protest in. 436 00:27:23,800 --> 00:27:29,720 Speaker 1: L A finger off my finger, revealing. 437 00:27:29,320 --> 00:27:32,040 Speaker 6: Gruesome, sometimes life changing injuries. 438 00:27:32,320 --> 00:27:35,480 Speaker 7: I was waving my flag and you can see the 439 00:27:35,520 --> 00:27:39,000 Speaker 7: PROJECTI hey, and it just exploded right in front of. 440 00:27:38,960 --> 00:27:40,520 Speaker 1: My face, Sergios. 441 00:27:40,600 --> 00:27:43,520 Speaker 6: But it was downtown Saturday for the No King's protest. 442 00:27:43,880 --> 00:27:47,160 Speaker 7: We weren't rioters, we were protesters, and I want people 443 00:27:47,200 --> 00:27:47,879 Speaker 7: to know that. 444 00:27:49,800 --> 00:27:53,200 Speaker 6: This the video Sergio was recording as an explosion took 445 00:27:53,240 --> 00:27:54,560 Speaker 6: off a portion of his finger. 446 00:27:54,840 --> 00:27:56,560 Speaker 7: I was tacting people protest with one hand on my 447 00:27:56,560 --> 00:27:59,320 Speaker 7: phone in the other, and they blew the making flag 448 00:27:59,359 --> 00:28:00,919 Speaker 7: right off of me and my finger as well with 449 00:28:01,080 --> 00:28:02,719 Speaker 7: the Bleslito grenade. 450 00:28:02,720 --> 00:28:03,359 Speaker 1: I believe. 451 00:28:05,160 --> 00:28:08,320 Speaker 6: Agitators and law enforcement have squared off for days during 452 00:28:08,320 --> 00:28:09,840 Speaker 6: the anti ice protest. 453 00:28:10,160 --> 00:28:12,560 Speaker 1: The lapd were taking rocks and bottles, they said from 454 00:28:12,560 --> 00:28:13,800 Speaker 1: the high ground were throwing. 455 00:28:13,600 --> 00:28:17,159 Speaker 6: To this bridge sky Fox Justin O'Brien reporting from above 456 00:28:17,359 --> 00:28:19,760 Speaker 6: with Fox elevens Mario Ramirez on the ground. 457 00:28:20,000 --> 00:28:23,000 Speaker 1: Wait, We're going to back up a little bit here. 458 00:28:23,119 --> 00:28:27,360 Speaker 6: You authorities firing back with tear gas, flashbans and rubber bullets. 459 00:28:27,680 --> 00:28:31,280 Speaker 1: You see projectiles coming with a light trace, like a 460 00:28:31,359 --> 00:28:34,640 Speaker 1: tracer shot type thing, and it needs a He looked 461 00:28:34,680 --> 00:28:37,680 Speaker 1: like Baghdad on a bad day.

You should take a 468 00:29:02,760 --> 00:29:05,480 Speaker 6: wedding for ten La police officers. 469 00:29:05,840 --> 00:29:08,280 Speaker 1: I don't want to see any more police officers or 470 00:29:08,280 --> 00:29:11,960 Speaker 1: deputy Sheriff's injured, or anybody else on either side of this. 471 00:29:14,000 --> 00:29:18,080 Speaker 6: A long, chaotic week of sometimes violent clashes definitely sound 472 00:29:18,200 --> 00:29:21,360 Speaker 6: very intense moments with everything you're being launched towards both sides. 473 00:29:21,400 --> 00:29:23,120 Speaker 6: I do want to show you that I did when 474 00:29:23,160 --> 00:29:25,080 Speaker 6: I was out there covering some of these protests. I 475 00:29:25,080 --> 00:29:27,960 Speaker 6: saw one of these less than lethal rubber bullets fired, 476 00:29:28,000 --> 00:29:29,760 Speaker 6: and you think that they're going to hit with the 477 00:29:29,840 --> 00:29:32,280 Speaker 6: rubber on your skin, but in some instances it actually 478 00:29:32,400 --> 00:29:35,280 Speaker 6: hits with the other side and even more painful. I 479 00:29:35,480 --> 00:29:38,840 Speaker 6: witnessed that firsthand. Happened that one of those protesters out 480 00:29:38,840 --> 00:29:40,200 Speaker 6: there last week. 481 00:29:40,360 --> 00:29:43,440 Speaker 1: Well, and maybe you should go home. Maybe now they 482 00:29:43,480 --> 00:29:47,080 Speaker 1: do advertise it as less than lethal and getting your 483 00:29:47,120 --> 00:29:52,920 Speaker 1: testicle blown off less than lethal, getting your eye blown out, 484 00:29:53,200 --> 00:29:55,520 Speaker 1: like we found out yesterday one guy less than lethal 485 00:29:55,600 --> 00:29:59,320 Speaker 1: and today it's a finger. So we have a testico, 486 00:30:00,880 --> 00:30:04,320 Speaker 1: an eye, and a finger. Let's play our game again. 487 00:30:04,640 --> 00:30:07,240 Speaker 1: If you had to choose which one you could live 488 00:30:07,280 --> 00:30:10,440 Speaker 1: with getting blown out? Erica, what do you pick? Testicle? 489 00:30:10,560 --> 00:30:15,200 Speaker 1: Eye or finger? Oh? Finger? Finger? Yeah, easily, all right, 490 00:30:15,640 --> 00:30:18,600 Speaker 1: you can play this game now even though you don't 491 00:30:18,600 --> 00:30:19,120 Speaker 1: have a testicle. 492 00:30:19,160 --> 00:30:22,120 Speaker 2: I don't have a testicle, but we have eye or finger? 493 00:30:21,760 --> 00:30:26,040 Speaker 1: Finger? Yeah, I would choose finger two. So we'll give 494 00:30:26,120 --> 00:30:31,880 Speaker 1: up our fingers before our eyes and certainly before our testicles. 495 00:30:32,400 --> 00:30:35,320 Speaker 1: I have this I have this idea. You can't go 496 00:30:35,440 --> 00:30:39,280 Speaker 1: to a protest and go and chant peaceful protest over 497 00:30:39,320 --> 00:30:44,200 Speaker 1: and over again when other guys are throwing rocks and 498 00:30:44,360 --> 00:30:50,800 Speaker 1: bottles and bricks at the police, because you wouldn't want 499 00:30:50,840 --> 00:30:53,200 Speaker 1: to get a brick in the head or a bottle 500 00:30:54,800 --> 00:30:58,160 Speaker 1: or a rock. And when you do it against police officers, 501 00:30:59,040 --> 00:31:02,200 Speaker 1: they have the full freedom to fire back at you. 502 00:31:02,240 --> 00:31:06,520 Speaker 1: In fact, You're lucky you're not getting real bullets, because 503 00:31:06,560 --> 00:31:09,120 Speaker 1: I think out in the out, in the real world, 504 00:31:09,520 --> 00:31:11,960 Speaker 1: if they ran into some guy who's throwing bricks at 505 00:31:12,000 --> 00:31:14,760 Speaker 1: their heads, that guy might get shot. But for an 506 00:31:14,760 --> 00:31:18,480 Speaker 1: official protest, I guess the rules are a little more tolerant, 507 00:31:18,600 --> 00:31:20,920 Speaker 1: and so you get less than lethal rubber bullets. 508 00:31:21,120 --> 00:31:23,600 Speaker 2: Well, I mean, I think it depends on what you're throwing. Also, 509 00:31:23,640 --> 00:31:26,320 Speaker 2: I mean if you start maybe not what you're throwing, 510 00:31:26,360 --> 00:31:30,160 Speaker 2: but if you start firing, if you start firing bullets, 511 00:31:30,760 --> 00:31:31,360 Speaker 2: I think you're not. 512 00:31:31,320 --> 00:31:33,600 Speaker 1: Going to get the rubber bullets. Yeah, you know, then 513 00:31:33,640 --> 00:31:36,680 Speaker 1: you're dead. Yeah, you're getting the full treatment from the police. 514 00:31:37,160 --> 00:31:40,200 Speaker 1: But I just I don't understand the purpose of the 515 00:31:40,240 --> 00:31:44,640 Speaker 1: protest is to express yourself. Okay, you've expressed yourself. Trump's 516 00:31:44,680 --> 00:31:47,600 Speaker 1: not leaving, and now the bad guys have shown up 517 00:31:47,680 --> 00:31:50,200 Speaker 1: and they're throwing the bottles in the rocks at police. 518 00:31:50,240 --> 00:31:53,200 Speaker 1: What are you doing there? And then you're crying that 519 00:31:53,240 --> 00:31:57,400 Speaker 1: your finger got blown off? Why'd you put yourself in play? 520 00:31:58,200 --> 00:32:00,640 Speaker 1: I mean, how many days of protest where you saw 521 00:32:00,960 --> 00:32:05,000 Speaker 1: hundreds of people getting getting arrested and lots of people 522 00:32:05,040 --> 00:32:08,200 Speaker 1: getting injured and the police firing all kinds of stuff 523 00:32:09,720 --> 00:32:12,160 Speaker 1: you heard about the you know, like for the next 524 00:32:12,200 --> 00:32:15,400 Speaker 1: protest on July seventeenth, Now that you know you could 525 00:32:15,400 --> 00:32:17,560 Speaker 1: lose a testicle or an eye or a finger, why 526 00:32:17,600 --> 00:32:20,120 Speaker 1: would you go out there? Do you think on July eighteenth? 527 00:32:20,160 --> 00:32:22,600 Speaker 1: Trump's not going to be the president? I guarantee you. 528 00:32:24,000 --> 00:32:27,640 Speaker 1: And unless you know his final cheeseburger takes him out, 529 00:32:28,000 --> 00:32:30,400 Speaker 1: you're gonna wake up July eighteenth, no matter how loud 530 00:32:30,440 --> 00:32:32,320 Speaker 1: you shouted, no matter how long you stood in the 531 00:32:32,360 --> 00:32:36,520 Speaker 1: hot July Southern California, Son, he's still president, and he's 532 00:32:36,560 --> 00:32:38,840 Speaker 1: still going to be deporting people, and he's still going 533 00:32:38,920 --> 00:32:41,560 Speaker 1: to have the National Guard here in case people get 534 00:32:41,560 --> 00:32:43,680 Speaker 1: out of the line. I I. And he's still going 535 00:32:43,720 --> 00:32:47,720 Speaker 1: to be bombing around probably. So what's your what is 536 00:32:47,760 --> 00:32:51,680 Speaker 1: it like? What do these protests do exactly? What's the 537 00:32:51,720 --> 00:32:53,400 Speaker 1: point of it? And then and then you're all hacked 538 00:32:53,440 --> 00:32:55,640 Speaker 1: off because you lost the body part? You can't buy 539 00:32:55,640 --> 00:32:57,720 Speaker 1: another finger or an eye. 540 00:32:57,800 --> 00:32:59,840 Speaker 2: Well, I don't think people are going out and protesting 541 00:33:00,120 --> 00:33:02,360 Speaker 2: think that they're going to lose a testicle, your finger. 542 00:33:02,880 --> 00:33:05,600 Speaker 2: There's that risk now, but there's a risk to everything 543 00:33:05,640 --> 00:33:06,280 Speaker 2: in life. 544 00:33:06,560 --> 00:33:11,360 Speaker 1: We have three examples now and there's other things that 545 00:33:11,440 --> 00:33:15,000 Speaker 1: could blow off too, So those aren't the only three 546 00:33:15,040 --> 00:33:15,600 Speaker 1: body parts. 547 00:33:15,640 --> 00:33:17,640 Speaker 2: It's true, but we can, you know, walk out of 548 00:33:17,680 --> 00:33:20,520 Speaker 2: this building and you know something can happen to us. 549 00:33:20,520 --> 00:33:23,520 Speaker 1: Oh sure, every I almost walked in front of a 550 00:33:23,520 --> 00:33:27,320 Speaker 1: bus once. Really, Yeah, that would have hurt more than 551 00:33:27,360 --> 00:33:30,080 Speaker 1: getting my testicle blown off. Or maybe not. I don't know. 552 00:33:30,760 --> 00:33:38,720 Speaker 1: All right, when we come back, I'm just pausing for 553 00:33:38,960 --> 00:33:40,640 Speaker 1: partly for drama and partly because I don't know what 554 00:33:40,640 --> 00:33:42,320 Speaker 1: I'm going to do next. Oh, well, you're going to 555 00:33:42,360 --> 00:33:42,760 Speaker 1: the news. 556 00:33:42,840 --> 00:33:43,720 Speaker 2: I mean you say that. 557 00:33:43,880 --> 00:33:46,080 Speaker 1: Maybe you'll give me an idea just in your newscast. No, 558 00:33:46,200 --> 00:33:47,880 Speaker 1: I know what I want to do. Well, we'll talk 559 00:33:47,880 --> 00:33:50,320 Speaker 1: about it in minutes.
