Speaker 1 (00:00):
Here we go, second hour of the program. Hey kids,
(00:02):
snow is on the way in northern Colorado. Some of
you out east and south, you already got the snow.
God bless you. Drive safe.
Speaker 2 (00:10):
Well.
Speaker 1 (00:11):
If you're head and east, don't go. Everything's closed up
twenty four thirty four. Further east you go towards Kansas.
It's a frozen out, my friends, a frozen tun Drive
seventy has been closed up overnight, and I believe it's
still closed as well. So drive safe out there. Snow
is coming north of I seventy. I think we're supposed
to get maybe one to four inches, so not a
(00:32):
huge storm, but there could be pockets of more than that.
If you're south of Ice seventy east or even west
of High Country, it could be a real mess for
you out there. So anyway, winter weather heading into the weekend.
What fall last? Look one day we had summer and
then we had fall for like two days, and then
now it's winter. Weird, all right. Good to have you
here on the show. If you're on hold, I want
(00:53):
to get hold of your calls here. Some of you
do want to jump in here, but I want to
walk home to my first guest of the morning, Captain Elkhan,
who know Cohen. He's written a book, he's been on
the program with this before, a book called October seventh,
The War against Hamas to the eyes of an Israeli
commando officer. And he's dialing in this morning from Israel,
(01:13):
and let me go to Captain Cohen right now so
that he doesn't have to wait much longer. Captain, welcome
to the show.
Speaker 3 (01:19):
Welcome back, Thank you very much, thank you for having
me again.
Speaker 1 (01:24):
I appreciate you coming on. We had an election here
in America this week, and of course we have it
with it that's been over I guess, over dominating our
news cycle here. But Israel still in the battle against
terrorism people that want to destroy them. But an interesting
news development has come up here just in the last
couple of days. Is Newsweek is reporting that Hamas has
(01:46):
all of a sudden jumped in and says, hey, we'd
like to have an immediate end of this war. And
Newsweek says that maybe tied to the election here in America.
What do we know is what is Hamas asking for?
Speaker 3 (01:58):
You know, it's good you mentioned that because Hamas show
his attention on October seven, when he brutally murdered people
and showed it over and over again for the last
year that we've been through. Believe, Unfortunately, I just can't
trust Hamas even if they want to end the war. Well,
(02:19):
I also want to end this war. I'm a newly
grab I'm an expecting father, a business owner, and the
last thing that I want to do is to participate war.
But unfortunately, as long as they're holding one one hundred
and one hostages while we're talking almost close to four
hundred days in captivity, I'm sorry, I can't trust them.
Speaker 1 (02:41):
The voice of Captain Elkana Kuno Cohen. I written a
book called October seventh of War against the Master the
eyes of an Israel Israel commando officer. Let me ask you,
is there's obviously been a long term friendship. It seems
I'm not not on the inner circle between Prime Minister
net and Yahoo and President Trump. We do know the
(03:02):
Prime Minister did call Trump to congratulate him or communicated
his congratulations for commando officers like yourself people in the
I d F. Were you paying attention to the United
States election or were you focused on the battle at
hand and you didn't have time to worry about the
US election.
Speaker 3 (03:21):
Yes. Usually I'm usually saying that I'm not trying to
not go to politically, but I do say that I
followed that very closely because we understand here how much
the bond between Israel and the United States are important.
And to see the support of Donald Trump with the
(03:42):
state of Israel, it's amazing and I'm really glad to
hear that such a leader one at the end, and
I can tell you also fun fact, I met one
of these guards of Donald Trump guards on the oll
where the rebbe buried when he you want to visit
an October seven and I had the opportunity and the
(04:04):
privilege for him to sign my book.
Speaker 1 (04:07):
Oh, very good, very good. And your book. I make
sure people get a copy or they need to buy
it's called October seventh. The Wargans Tamaster. The eyes of
an Israeli commando officer. You mentioned the hostages that are
being held Hamasa said, Hey, we'd like to end this
war immediately. Is there any sign of how many of
these hostages are still alive? Is there any sign that
(04:29):
they would release these hostages here pretty quickly?
Speaker 3 (04:35):
So, according to one that I know a lot of
them not alive by now. Unfortunately they're being killed by Hamas,
but still there's several people that still live and we
want them back and we want them back immediately as
we can. But I think people have to understand that
this is not only Hamas Kamas. It's a code name,
(04:58):
it's terror organization that existing all over the world. And
just unfortunately today we sew how group of tourists were
attacking Israelis while their only crime was to go into
soccer game in Amsterdam and they were brutally attacked, which
I don't know if you heard about that, but this
(05:20):
has just happened today.
Speaker 1 (05:21):
Yeah, it's been top of the news here in America
all morning. It's been a big news story. The King
of Netherlands, I believe, has come out and condemned this
and said it was an anti Semitic attack. That's what's
baffling Captain Cohen, is that Israel Is in a fight
for the life. It's in a fight they didn't ask for.
October the seventh that brutally attacked, murders, rapes, venison people,
(05:43):
young people, women, children, you name it. I mean, you
didn't ask for this battle. And yet there's idiots out there,
like the soccer fans in Amsterdam that for some reason
think that the Israel is their enemy. And there's people
that protest on campuses here in the United States that
and that Hamas has some great ally, some great friend
of freedom. That's got to be very frustrating. You're out there,
(06:05):
you've seen the brutality, you know what they've done, you
know how they have had no respect for humans and
human life, and you're trying to tell the story. But
for some reason, that story somehow doesn't permeate places like
the university campuses here in America or maybe even Amsterdam.
Speaker 3 (06:25):
Yes, unfortunately, it's frustrating because it's not only about the terrorists.
It's the terrorists, it's the protest against the ideas. And
to be honest, these war it's no war between Israel
to Hamas, or Israel to Iran or to his Balah
or WoT is. It is war between good and evil.
And the fast is people are gonna understand that they're
(06:46):
going to save themselves because everything that's going here, everything
that we're doing here in Israel, is going to follow
all the Western world, and if we won't be able
to finish it and to as Donald Trump says, I
really hope that that Hamas will will allow us to
bring all our hostages back by but before he's going
(07:09):
to be the former president, the president, I'm sorry, I
really hope that the entire world we'll understand that because
it is not only our fight, because while they're screaming
this to Israel, they're shouting dust to America. And this
is what they're trying to do. And we're here to
fight for the best people that still hold the captivity,
(07:31):
but not only for us, but for the entire world.
Speaker 1 (07:34):
Captain Elkana Kuno Kohen, he's written a book called October seventh,
The War against the moss To the eyes of an
Israeli commando officer. Captain, we obviously have had a very
divided political season and time here in America for many years.
You're in an You're a nation at war. Benjaminett Yahoo
has made them made name. He's made no mystery that
(07:57):
he plans to win this war for the sake of
the survival of Israel. Can you give us an update.
What's the political environment in Israel? Is everybody holding firm
believing that you've got to fight this battle to the end,
or are the people that are saying, well, maybe we
should back off a little bit. Can you give us
a feel for the political not the military environment, but
the political environment in Israel? And does Benjamin n Yahoo
(08:19):
still have the widespread support.
Speaker 3 (08:24):
Yeah. So, I think that some of us are divided,
and unfortunately we not understand that we have to be together.
But I think behind these divideeness there is something that
stands among all of us. We all want our people back,
but we sometimes think that we can solve that with
different ways. Unfortunately, in my opinion, we can solve that
(08:48):
with disagreements, because those people showed their attention over and
over again, and they show that they understand only for us. So, yes,
not everyone in Israel supports what's going on here, but
I think everyone in Israel understand that we need to
get back our brother and sister and to make sure
that nothing like that will ever happen again.
Speaker 1 (09:10):
The name of your book is called October seventh, The
War against Ta Master the eyes of an Israeli Commando Officer.
It's obviously your book, It's your story. Give us a
tale of the people. Get to copy this book called
October the seventh. What will they find? What is what
do what do you portray? What do you tell through
your eyes? As an Israeli commando officer.
Speaker 3 (09:28):
Captain, Yes, I want to share one story. I already
shared it on your program, but I want to share
it again. One of the time, we got an intelligence
of a school that was full with ter infrastructure. We
knew that we have to conquered that school, but we
also knew that that school was full of civilians. So
as we always do, we start closing them all out,
(09:51):
but no one left the area. We didn't understand why,
so we used the drone in order to scan the
area from above, and then we said that there is
Commas guard inside that school. That didn't last those civilians
to leave the area. But more than that, one of
the kids there from the drone, it seemed like five
years old kids who tried to run away, and one
(10:11):
of the Hamas guards shot him in his head and
killed them in front of his mom. In that point
to understand that we have to kill those guards not
only for our sake but also for those civilians sake.
But then one of the Hamas guard went on the
rooftop and he was holding nothing less than a baby,
and behind them was the guy that was holding a
(10:31):
camera and it almost seemed like he wants us to
take that shot. We didn't take that shot. And later
on the same guy went on the rooftop again, he
was surrounded by a group of women and one of
them banded a little bit. It was enough for us
to take that shot, for our snipers to take that
shot and to kill these guys. And I'm sharing that
story because they want your listeners to understand what we're
(10:55):
dealing with. Hamas and all of those terror organizations don't
care about their own people. They're using them as human
shield and they're using them in order to get a
publicity and good pr This is how they treating their people.
They're hating us more than they like their own people,
their own babies. And here we're trying to do as
(11:17):
much as we can and they just told you we
didn't do the shot for the first place when the
guy holds that baby, even though our life.
Speaker 4 (11:26):
Was on the line.
Speaker 3 (11:28):
And I really hope that the entire world will understand that
because what we're fighting here, it's not only our fight
against from us, it's the world fight against evil.
Speaker 1 (11:40):

bit of control in life.
Speaker 1 (14:24):
So now now you have AOL. Is that just an
email or do you actually have AOL where it logs
in with the dial up modem on your on your
land line? Well, really, it still has phone. AOL still
has phone numbers that you can dial in for a landline.
Speaker 2 (14:41):
Well, you know, I don't understand that what you're saying,
but I do know that when I even bought a
new laptop and I have transferred my AOL to my laptop,
and I hit AOL and dial up today AOL and
the landline. I don't believe it can have AOL.
Speaker 1 (15:01):
Okay, So it's not dialing up. So are you connected?
Do you have Wi Fi wireless internet?
Speaker 4 (15:07):
Of course?
Speaker 1 (15:08):
Okay, so you are connecting on Wi Fi, not on
the dial up modem.
Speaker 2 (15:12):
Oh I'm not sure about that.
Speaker 1 (15:14):
Okay, it sounds like you've got actually Wi Fi, which
is good. But does it still say you've got mail
when you log into AOL?
Speaker 2 (15:21):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (15:22):
Yeah, that guy passed away, so today when you hear it,
know that he's no longer with us. His name is Elwood.
Speaker 2 (15:28):
Yeah, there's some good things in life. This old lady
has to hang on to and like fighting which Ram,
the city which Ram I kept Ram. I'm paying for both,
which is a sin, but it is what it is.
Speaker 1 (15:44):
Yeah, I talk about the out of the area talking
about the trash pick up. Fort Collins is charging people
to have their trash picked up even if they're not
using trash pick up because Fort Collins is run by idiots. Irene.
I appreciate it. I'm so happy to hear. So what
else do you do on the internet? You get your
al you get your email. Are you doing anything else
to look at recipes or something?
Speaker 2 (16:04):
Oh? Well, of course. But what I do eBay eBay
and I try to sell things on eBay, and I
had a computer guy tell me that I didn't need
to use AOL. I could still, you know, open up everything,
but then you have to change your pandle you know
you're and that's just such a pain to do that.
Speaker 1 (16:26):
Now, how much how much does AOL cost you?
Speaker 3 (16:28):
Do?
Speaker 1 (16:28):
You know?
Speaker 2 (16:30):
Six ninety five a month?
Speaker 1 (16:31):
So you're paying six ninety five a month to AOL.
And you're not like working in the dating chat rooms
or anything, are you?
Speaker 2 (16:38):
Oh, honey, I'm maybe seven.
Speaker 1 (16:40):
Well, you know a lot of guys are into that.
I don't know. Irene. I appreciate you coming on the program.
Irene's got AOL. Look for her out there, and she's
out there, eighty seven years young, and she we think
she's on the Wi Fi though we think.
Speaker 4 (16:55):
So.
Speaker 1 (16:55):
I re appreciate you coming on the program. I can't
believe some things I say and I go, I can't
believe I said that. All right, good to have you
here on the radio show, Jimmy. Is my pleasure to
have you here. Irene's got the AOL. She's paying six
ninety five a month. They've been around since the early nineties. Well,
how to calculate how much Irene has spent between double
(17:17):
paying the trash bill and paying her AOL every month.
I think Irene's loaded. She eighty seven. She could be
somebody's sugar mama. I love you, Irene. I'll be back
Laky on the radio, six hundred k col All right here,
(17:44):
we are glad to have you here, fellas. I want
to remind you that help is just a phone call away.
You say, what kind of help do I need? Well,
if you have found yourself as a man, maybe you
found yourself just not having the desire you used to
(18:05):
have into a libido and the sex drive. Maybe that's kind
of decreased. You don't know what happened. I think it's
just age. Maybe you're out there working out, go to
the gym every day, and you're just not seeing the
games you used to see. You're kind of frustrated with that.
Maybe you're just tired, got that brain fog going on.
Here's what happens, guys. When we turned about thirty or
so or a give or take a year or so,
our body starts reducing naturally the production of testosterone, and
(18:26):
it can eventually get a little bit lower than what
you needed to be, and therefore you start having some
of the side effects that were aforementioned. Listen, if you
have some of those side effects and you didn't know
what it was, you thought it was just aging. It
could be low T low testosterone. Why did you get checked.
It's real simple to do. So you go to Rocky
Mountain Mens clin if you have five locations Fort Collins,
North Denver, Central Denver, Castle, Rock colorol Springs, five locations,
(18:48):
and you're gonna do some blood work. They'll come back
in twenty thirty minutes later, give you the results of
that blood work and then hey, if you are low
and you want to begin some treatment and boost that
testop drone and you do that, that office visit of
ninety nine dollars is free. They've helped thousands of guys
treat their low tee that most of them didn't know
they had the low T till they were in there,
and then they go, oh, that explains a lot. Rocky
(19:10):
Mountain Men's Clinic dot com. Rocky Mountain Men's Clinic dot com,
Fort Collins, to Color out of Springs of five locations,
Rocky Mountain Men's Clinic dot com. Tell them Jimmy Lake,
he told you to be in touch all right, let
me bring him my next guest of the morning. I'm
privileged to have him on the program. He's been again
with us before. He's written a book called The Shadow War,
Iran's Quest for Supremacy. His name is Brandon J. Wikert.
(19:33):
Brandon Wikert on the hotline. Brandon, Welcome back to the show, sir.
How are you.
Speaker 4 (19:38):
I'm doing well. Thanks for having me again.
Speaker 1 (19:40):
Glad to have you here. There's been a story, and
I know that some folks expected maybe before the election.
Some say it could be imited now that week. We
need to keep and be very cognizant and aware of
the potential threat for some type of a terrorist attack.
Now maybe not necessarily with bombs or su side bombers
or airplanes, but a cyber attack. People are thinking that
(20:04):
could be imminent.
Speaker 4 (20:06):
Yeah. No, I was told by three senior intelligence people
in the last month I do consulting for the Defense Department.
They were seeing unprecedented levels of cyber intrusions across critical
UH infrastructure nodes. UH. They were thinking it was going
to be timed on or around election day. Thankfully it
(20:27):
did not happen on election day, but you know, we
are in a very uncertain window. I'm seeing record numbers
of US troops being deployed to Syria, a country we're
not even officially at war with. I'm looking at what's
going on in Ukraine. The Russians are as I predicted, Uh,
(20:48):
you know, they're they're defeating the Ukrainians. My new book,
A Disaster of Our Own Making? How the West Lost Ukraine,
is all about that North Koreans are flooding in there.
The Chinese could hit Taiwan. So we are at a
moment of influx in the global strategic environment. So this
is a point in which something like a cyber nine
to eleven could very well occur, and we need to
(21:11):
stay guarded and ready. Even though we now have a
I think a great president coming in, we still have
about two more months of Joe Biden sleepily leading us
or not leading us through through the next two months.
Speaker 1 (21:25):
Brandon J. Wiker's my guest. His latest book, as he mentioned,
it's called The Disaster of Our Own Making, How the
West Lost Ukraine. Now we've been told that Vladimir Zelensky
has reached out to President and like Trump and has
said there's a good conversation. President Trump has said if
he had been in office, this battle would have never
(21:45):
started between Russia. Kind of give us the lay of
the lands. A. Linski said he had a good conversation
with Donald Trump. Donald Trump said He's going to get
this thing under wraps and wrap this thing up. Is
this going to wrap up with a great surrender of
Ukrainian tart worried to Putin? How do you see this
thing going? And what do you think the Linski meant
by the same They had a great conversation.
Speaker 4 (22:07):
So what's going to happen is Trump's going to try
to get a deal without us being pushovers, sort of
like Nixon's peace with honor from Vietnam. So what's going
to happen is Trump is going to basically create and
this is sort of the general outlines. We're talking here
about the specifics, but generally he's going to try to
create the conditions where Russia keeps the part of Ukraine
(22:30):
they've held for quite some time now, even before the war,
Eastern Ukraine and Crimea. He will likely recognize Crimea as
officially being part of Russia, which is what Putin has
always wanted, and then he will likely give some kind
of guarantee that there will either be an indefinite pause
(22:50):
or will completely not do it anymore. Try to work
Ukraine and Donato. We will tell the Russians is not
going to happen in exchange for them basically not moving
there on the parts of Ukraine they already hold. We
will then use that time to shore up western Ukraine
as an independent country that is, you know, standing on
(23:11):
its own, but it will be a neutral state. Now,
the key thing here I've spoke. I've actually been speaking
to people who are affiliated with the Russian side of
the Aisle, and you know they have indicated that, Hey,
don't think that Putin is going to give given this easily. Yeah,
he wants a deal, but you know he's going to
drive a hard bargain. Well, the key thing here that
(23:32):
people are not talking about, and I don't even know
if the Trump transition team is talking about this, and
it's because they're very busy. The key thing here is India.
India is the lynchpin to getting a deal in Ukraine.
Russia relies on India and China, but India in particular
to basically take in their excess oil so that they
(23:53):
can still keep the economy going. The Indian leader Modi
is very fond of Trump. Wants to have a very
close relationship between Trump wants to ensure that Indian high
tech workers, for instance, will have an easy pathway to
citizenship here in the United States. It benefits India. Trump
(24:14):
has already indicated he will go easy on H one
B visas. So there's a lot of connectivity between India
and Trump, and Trump is going to use that as
a leverage point to basically get motive to Zelena to
get Putin rather on board with this proposed peace deal,
and then we'll have peace and then we can address
(24:34):
all the other problems.
Speaker 1 (24:36):
Geopolitical analyst and author Brandon Wikert is my guest. His
latest book is called A Disaster of Our Own Making,
How the West Lost Ukraine very quickly. Does Putin feel
like he's prolonged to the war now that he's has
a North Korean troops, they're willing to sacrifice their lives.
He's obviously expended a lot of Russian lives. Does the
involvement in North Korea make him feel a little bit
(24:58):
like he's bought some more time because he has some
other people that are expendable.
Speaker 4 (25:02):
Absolutely, and that's not just North Korea, it's China as well,
and the Iran even to some degree, are all facilitating
the war efforts. So he can believe the Ukrainians dry
and Zelenski knows that. That's why now Zelenski is saying,
let's play, let's make a deal.
Speaker 1 (25:19):
Brandon Weikert, It's going to be interesting. Do you think
that how long do you think this all starts to
take place? Is this something that the Trump team is
working on now and this happens before inauguration day in January?
Or is this just something that's going to be ongoing
and take a couple more months.
Speaker 4 (25:35):
Well, best case scenario, yes, this is like Reagan with
the Iranian hostage crisis. It ends before it even gets
sworn in, probably though it'll be resolved in the first
hundred days of his administration.
Speaker 1 (25:46):
Brandon J. Wicker, If folks want to follow you, I
know you're online. You've got a couple of great books.
The latest one is called A Disaster of Our Own Making?
How the West Lost Ukraine? Give the plug of the
book and yourself, and how do folks follow you?
Speaker 4 (25:59):
Well, you can follow me on Twitter at we the
Brandon and the book itself is a history, a very hard,
notsed history on how Western elites caused this war and
how Trump would have never gotten into it and how
he's going to resolve it.
Speaker 1 (26:14):
I think it's also key that we went into this war.
When they this thing first started, we said we don't
want we don't want Ukraine to be part of NATO.
Now the official policy has become yes, you're going to
become an AT nation. How does that all shake out?
Speaker 4 (26:29):
Well, the problem is is that we told the Russians
they don't we don't want them part of NATO Ukraine,
But in fact, behind the scenes, we were telling the
Ukrainians for thirty years, yeah, you're going to be able
to join, which is why Ukraine acted so aggressively. They
got ahead of their skis and so the Russians punched
them back. And now we're on the hook for it
because we encouraged them to do.
Speaker 1 (26:48):
This a disaster of our own making, how the West
lost Ukraine. Brandon J. Wiker, the author, I encourage you
to follow him. We the branded on the Twitter and
it's a good book. And if you really want to,
as he said, Harden knows history. It's a reality that
some of the things that are happening in Ukraine between
Putin and Zolensky and the Ukraine in Russia. It has
(27:11):
been a long term, a long time a coming, and
in some instances the chickens have come home to roost.
I'll be back. Thank you Brandon Wiker for being on
the program. Jimmy Lakey six hundred K Col.
Here we go, second hour of the program. Hey kids,
(00:02):
snow is on the way in northern Colorado. Some of
you out east and south, you already got the snow.
God bless you. Drive safe.
Speaker 2 (00:10):
Well.
Speaker 1 (00:11):
If you're head and east, don't go. Everything's closed up
twenty four thirty four. Further east you go towards Kansas.
It's a frozen out, my friends, a frozen tun Drive
seventy has been closed up overnight, and I believe it's
still closed as well. So drive safe out there. Snow
is coming north of I seventy. I think we're supposed
to get maybe one to four inches, so not a
(00:32):
huge storm, but there could be pockets of more than that.
If you're south of Ice seventy east or even west
of High Country, it could be a real mess for
you out there. So anyway, winter weather heading into the weekend.
What fall last? Look one day we had summer and
then we had fall for like two days, and then
now it's winter. Weird, all right. Good to have you
here on the show. If you're on hold, I want
(00:53):
to get hold of your calls here. Some of you
do want to jump in here, but I want to
walk home to my first guest of the morning, Captain Elkhan,
who know Cohen. He's written a book, he's been on
the program with this before, a book called October seventh,
The War against Hamas to the eyes of an Israeli
commando officer. And he's dialing in this morning from Israel,
(01:13):
and let me go to Captain Cohen right now so
that he doesn't have to wait much longer. Captain, welcome
to the show.
Speaker 3 (01:19):
Welcome back, Thank you very much, thank you for having
me again.
Speaker 1 (01:24):
I appreciate you coming on. We had an election here
in America this week, and of course we have it
with it that's been over I guess, over dominating our
news cycle here. But Israel still in the battle against
terrorism people that want to destroy them. But an interesting
news development has come up here just in the last
couple of days. Is Newsweek is reporting that Hamas has
(01:46):
all of a sudden jumped in and says, hey, we'd
like to have an immediate end of this war. And
Newsweek says that maybe tied to the election here in America.
What do we know is what is Hamas asking for?
Speaker 3 (01:58):
You know, it's good you mentioned that because Hamas show
his attention on October seven, when he brutally murdered people
and showed it over and over again for the last
year that we've been through. Believe, Unfortunately, I just can't
trust Hamas even if they want to end the war. Well,
(02:19):
I also want to end this war. I'm a newly
grab I'm an expecting father, a business owner, and the
last thing that I want to do is to participate war.
But unfortunately, as long as they're holding one one hundred
and one hostages while we're talking almost close to four
hundred days in captivity, I'm sorry, I can't trust them.
Speaker 1 (02:41):
The voice of Captain Elkana Kuno Cohen. I written a
book called October seventh of War against the Master the
eyes of an Israel Israel commando officer. Let me ask you,
is there's obviously been a long term friendship. It seems
I'm not not on the inner circle between Prime Minister
net and Yahoo and President Trump. We do know the
(03:02):
Prime Minister did call Trump to congratulate him or communicated
his congratulations for commando officers like yourself people in the
I d F. Were you paying attention to the United
States election or were you focused on the battle at
hand and you didn't have time to worry about the
US election.
Speaker 3 (03:21):
Yes. Usually I'm usually saying that I'm not trying to
not go to politically, but I do say that I
followed that very closely because we understand here how much
the bond between Israel and the United States are important.
And to see the support of Donald Trump with the
(03:42):
state of Israel, it's amazing and I'm really glad to
hear that such a leader one at the end, and
I can tell you also fun fact, I met one
of these guards of Donald Trump guards on the oll
where the rebbe buried when he you want to visit
an October seven and I had the opportunity and the
(04:04):
privilege for him to sign my book.
Speaker 1 (04:07):
Oh, very good, very good. And your book. I make
sure people get a copy or they need to buy
it's called October seventh. The Wargans Tamaster. The eyes of
an Israeli commando officer. You mentioned the hostages that are
being held Hamasa said, Hey, we'd like to end this
war immediately. Is there any sign of how many of
these hostages are still alive? Is there any sign that
(04:29):
they would release these hostages here pretty quickly?
Speaker 3 (04:35):
So, according to one that I know a lot of
them not alive by now. Unfortunately they're being killed by Hamas,
but still there's several people that still live and we
want them back and we want them back immediately as
we can. But I think people have to understand that
this is not only Hamas Kamas. It's a code name,
(04:58):
it's terror organization that existing all over the world. And
just unfortunately today we sew how group of tourists were
attacking Israelis while their only crime was to go into
soccer game in Amsterdam and they were brutally attacked, which
I don't know if you heard about that, but this
(05:20):
has just happened today.
Speaker 1 (05:21):
Yeah, it's been top of the news here in America
all morning. It's been a big news story. The King
of Netherlands, I believe, has come out and condemned this
and said it was an anti Semitic attack. That's what's
baffling Captain Cohen, is that Israel Is in a fight
for the life. It's in a fight they didn't ask for.
October the seventh that brutally attacked, murders, rapes, venison people,
(05:43):
young people, women, children, you name it. I mean, you
didn't ask for this battle. And yet there's idiots out there,
like the soccer fans in Amsterdam that for some reason
think that the Israel is their enemy. And there's people
that protest on campuses here in the United States that
and that Hamas has some great ally, some great friend
of freedom. That's got to be very frustrating. You're out there,
(06:05):
you've seen the brutality, you know what they've done, you
know how they have had no respect for humans and
human life, and you're trying to tell the story. But
for some reason, that story somehow doesn't permeate places like
the university campuses here in America or maybe even Amsterdam.
Speaker 3 (06:25):
Yes, unfortunately, it's frustrating because it's not only about the terrorists.
It's the terrorists, it's the protest against the ideas. And
to be honest, these war it's no war between Israel
to Hamas, or Israel to Iran or to his Balah
or WoT is. It is war between good and evil.
And the fast is people are gonna understand that they're
(06:46):
going to save themselves because everything that's going here, everything
that we're doing here in Israel, is going to follow
all the Western world, and if we won't be able
to finish it and to as Donald Trump says, I
really hope that that Hamas will will allow us to
bring all our hostages back by but before he's going
(07:09):
to be the former president, the president, I'm sorry, I
really hope that the entire world we'll understand that because
it is not only our fight, because while they're screaming
this to Israel, they're shouting dust to America. And this
is what they're trying to do. And we're here to
fight for the best people that still hold the captivity,
(07:31):
but not only for us, but for the entire world.
Speaker 1 (07:34):
Captain Elkana Kuno Kohen, he's written a book called October seventh,
The War against the moss To the eyes of an
Israeli commando officer. Captain, we obviously have had a very
divided political season and time here in America for many years.
You're in an You're a nation at war. Benjaminett Yahoo
has made them made name. He's made no mystery that
(07:57):
he plans to win this war for the sake of
the survival of Israel. Can you give us an update.
What's the political environment in Israel? Is everybody holding firm
believing that you've got to fight this battle to the end,
or are the people that are saying, well, maybe we
should back off a little bit. Can you give us
a feel for the political not the military environment, but
the political environment in Israel? And does Benjamin n Yahoo
(08:19):
still have the widespread support.
Speaker 3 (08:24):
Yeah. So, I think that some of us are divided,
and unfortunately we not understand that we have to be together.
But I think behind these divideeness there is something that
stands among all of us. We all want our people back,
but we sometimes think that we can solve that with
different ways. Unfortunately, in my opinion, we can solve that
(08:48):
with disagreements, because those people showed their attention over and
over again, and they show that they understand only for us. So, yes,
not everyone in Israel supports what's going on here, but
I think everyone in Israel understand that we need to
get back our brother and sister and to make sure
that nothing like that will ever happen again.
Speaker 1 (09:10):
The name of your book is called October seventh, The
War against Ta Master the eyes of an Israeli Commando Officer.
It's obviously your book, It's your story. Give us a
tale of the people. Get to copy this book called
October the seventh. What will they find? What is what
do what do you portray? What do you tell through
your eyes? As an Israeli commando officer.
Speaker 3 (09:28):
Captain, Yes, I want to share one story. I already
shared it on your program, but I want to share
it again. One of the time, we got an intelligence
of a school that was full with ter infrastructure. We
knew that we have to conquered that school, but we
also knew that that school was full of civilians. So
as we always do, we start closing them all out,
(09:51):
but no one left the area. We didn't understand why,
so we used the drone in order to scan the
area from above, and then we said that there is
Commas guard inside that school. That didn't last those civilians
to leave the area. But more than that, one of
the kids there from the drone, it seemed like five
years old kids who tried to run away, and one
(10:11):
of the Hamas guards shot him in his head and
killed them in front of his mom. In that point
to understand that we have to kill those guards not
only for our sake but also for those civilians sake.
But then one of the Hamas guard went on the
rooftop and he was holding nothing less than a baby,
and behind them was the guy that was holding a
(10:31):
camera and it almost seemed like he wants us to
take that shot. We didn't take that shot. And later
on the same guy went on the rooftop again, he
was surrounded by a group of women and one of
them banded a little bit. It was enough for us
to take that shot, for our snipers to take that
shot and to kill these guys. And I'm sharing that
story because they want your listeners to understand what we're
(10:55):
dealing with. Hamas and all of those terror organizations don't
care about their own people. They're using them as human
shield and they're using them in order to get a
publicity and good pr This is how they treating their people.
They're hating us more than they like their own people,
their own babies. And here we're trying to do as
(11:17):
much as we can and they just told you we
didn't do the shot for the first place when the
guy holds that baby, even though our life.
Speaker 4 (11:26):
Was on the line.
Speaker 3 (11:28):
And I really hope that the entire world will understand that
because what we're fighting here, it's not only our fight
against from us, it's the world fight against evil.
Speaker 1 (11:40):
The voice of Captain o'conna Kuno Cohen, c H E

welcome to the program. My name is Jimmy, Jimmy Lakey
News to six under a K co o L. I
mentioned the guy that's the voice of the AO L
you've got mail has passed away, and I said, what's
AOL doing. I do know that people still have the
AOL email address and let me let me go to
the phones here. I don't have a name on the callboard,
(13:56):
but Grandma still got the AO L. Hello, Who's who
am I talking to? Talk on the show?
Speaker 2 (14:01):

Speaker 2 (14:05):
Good? It's good to always hear your voice in the morning.
But I want you to know this. Grandma still has AOL.
And I also have a landline, believe it or not.
And uh and and just at first my sanity, I
kept GRAM waste. I at least I have a little
bit of control in life.
Speaker 1 (14:24):
So now now you have AOL. Is that just an
email or do you actually have AOL where it logs
in with the dial up modem on your on your
land line? Well, really, it still has phone. AOL still
has phone numbers that you can dial in for a landline.
Speaker 2 (14:41):
Well, you know, I don't understand that what you're saying,
but I do know that when I even bought a
new laptop and I have transferred my AOL to my laptop,
and I hit AOL and dial up today AOL and
the landline. I don't believe it can have AOL.
Speaker 1 (15:01):
Okay, So it's not dialing up. So are you connected?
Do you have Wi Fi wireless internet?
Speaker 4 (15:07):
Of course?
Speaker 1 (15:08):
Okay, so you are connecting on Wi Fi, not on
the dial up modem.
Speaker 2 (15:12):
Oh I'm not sure about that.
Speaker 1 (15:14):
Okay, it sounds like you've got actually Wi Fi, which
is good. But does it still say you've got mail
when you log into AOL?
Speaker 2 (15:21):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (15:22):
Yeah, that guy passed away, so today when you hear it,
know that he's no longer with us. His name is Elwood.
Speaker 2 (15:28):
Yeah, there's some good things in life. This old lady
has to hang on to and like fighting which Ram,
the city which Ram I kept Ram. I'm paying for both,
which is a sin, but it is what it is.
Speaker 1 (15:44):
Yeah, I talk about the out of the area talking
about the trash pick up. Fort Collins is charging people
to have their trash picked up even if they're not
using trash pick up because Fort Collins is run by idiots. Irene.
I appreciate it. I'm so happy to hear. So what
else do you do on the internet? You get your
al you get your email. Are you doing anything else
to look at recipes or something?
Speaker 2 (16:04):
Oh? Well, of course. But what I do eBay eBay
and I try to sell things on eBay, and I
had a computer guy tell me that I didn't need
to use AOL. I could still, you know, open up everything,
but then you have to change your pandle you know
you're and that's just such a pain to do that.
Speaker 1 (16:26):
Now, how much how much does AOL cost you?
Speaker 3 (16:28):
Do?
Speaker 1 (16:28):
You know?
Speaker 2 (16:30):
Six ninety five a month?
Speaker 1 (16:31):
So you're paying six ninety five a month to AOL.
And you're not like working in the dating chat rooms
or anything, are you?
Speaker 2 (16:38):
Oh, honey, I'm maybe seven.
Speaker 1 (16:40):
Well, you know a lot of guys are into that.
I don't know. Irene. I appreciate you coming on the program.
Irene's got AOL. Look for her out there, and she's
out there, eighty seven years young, and she we think
she's on the Wi Fi though we think.
Speaker 4 (16:55):
So.
Speaker 1 (16:55):
I re appreciate you coming on the program. I can't
believe some things I say and I go, I can't
believe I said that. All right, good to have you
here on the radio show, Jimmy. Is my pleasure to
have you here. Irene's got the AOL. She's paying six
ninety five a month. They've been around since the early nineties. Well,
how to calculate how much Irene has spent between double
(17:17):
paying the trash bill and paying her AOL every month.
I think Irene's loaded. She eighty seven. She could be
somebody's sugar mama. I love you, Irene. I'll be back
Laky on the radio, six hundred k col All right here,
(17:44):
we are glad to have you here, fellas. I want
to remind you that help is just a phone call away.
You say, what kind of help do I need? Well,
if you have found yourself as a man, maybe you
found yourself just not having the desire you used to
(18:05):
have into a libido and the sex drive. Maybe that's kind
of decreased. You don't know what happened. I think it's
just age. Maybe you're out there working out, go to
the gym every day, and you're just not seeing the
games you used to see. You're kind of frustrated with that.
Maybe you're just tired, got that brain fog going on.
Here's what happens, guys. When we turned about thirty or
so or a give or take a year or so,
our body starts reducing naturally the production of testosterone, and
(18:26):
it can eventually get a little bit lower than what
you needed to be, and therefore you start having some
of the side effects that were aforementioned. Listen, if you
have some of those side effects and you didn't know
what it was, you thought it was just aging. It
could be low T low testosterone. Why did you get checked.
It's real simple to do. So you go to Rocky
Mountain Mens clin if you have five locations Fort Collins,
North Denver, Central Denver, Castle, Rock colorol Springs, five locations,
(18:48):
and you're gonna do some blood work. They'll come back
in twenty thirty minutes later, give you the results of
that blood work and then hey, if you are low
and you want to begin some treatment and boost that
testop drone and you do that, that office visit of
ninety nine dollars is free. They've helped thousands of guys
treat their low tee that most of them didn't know
they had the low T till they were in there,
and then they go, oh, that explains a lot. Rocky
(19:10):
Mountain Men's Clinic dot com. Rocky Mountain Men's Clinic dot com,
Fort Collins, to Color out of Springs of five locations,
Rocky Mountain Men's Clinic dot com. Tell them Jimmy Lake,
he told you to be in touch all right, let
me bring him my next guest of the morning. I'm
privileged to have him on the program. He's been again
with us before. He's written a book called The Shadow War,
Iran's Quest for Supremacy. His name is Brandon J. Wikert.
(19:33):
Brandon Wikert on the hotline. Brandon, Welcome back to the show, sir.
How are you.
Speaker 4 (19:38):
I'm doing well. Thanks for having me again.
Speaker 1 (19:40):
Glad to have you here. There's been a story, and
I know that some folks expected maybe before the election.
Some say it could be imited now that week. We
need to keep and be very cognizant and aware of
the potential threat for some type of a terrorist attack.
Now maybe not necessarily with bombs or su side bombers
or airplanes, but a cyber attack. People are thinking that
(20:04):
could be imminent.
Speaker 4 (20:06):
Yeah. No, I was told by three senior intelligence people
in the last month I do consulting for the Defense Department.
They were seeing unprecedented levels of cyber intrusions across critical
UH infrastructure nodes. UH. They were thinking it was going
to be timed on or around election day. Thankfully it
(20:27):
did not happen on election day, but you know, we
are in a very uncertain window. I'm seeing record numbers
of US troops being deployed to Syria, a country we're
not even officially at war with. I'm looking at what's
going on in Ukraine. The Russians are as I predicted, Uh,
(20:48):
you know, they're they're defeating the Ukrainians. My new book,
A Disaster of Our Own Making? How the West Lost Ukraine,
is all about that North Koreans are flooding in there.
The Chinese could hit Taiwan. So we are at a
moment of influx in the global strategic environment. So this
is a point in which something like a cyber nine
to eleven could very well occur, and we need to
(21:11):
stay guarded and ready. Even though we now have a
I think a great president coming in, we still have
about two more months of Joe Biden sleepily leading us
or not leading us through through the next two months.
Speaker 1 (21:25):
Brandon J. Wiker's my guest. His latest book, as he mentioned,
it's called The Disaster of Our Own Making, How the
West Lost Ukraine. Now we've been told that Vladimir Zelensky
has reached out to President and like Trump and has
said there's a good conversation. President Trump has said if
he had been in office, this battle would have never
(21:45):
started between Russia. Kind of give us the lay of
the lands. A. Linski said he had a good conversation
with Donald Trump. Donald Trump said He's going to get
this thing under wraps and wrap this thing up. Is
this going to wrap up with a great surrender of
Ukrainian tart worried to Putin? How do you see this
thing going? And what do you think the Linski meant
by the same They had a great conversation.
Speaker 4 (22:07):
So what's going to happen is Trump's going to try
to get a deal without us being pushovers, sort of
like Nixon's peace with honor from Vietnam. So what's going
to happen is Trump is going to basically create and
this is sort of the general outlines. We're talking here
about the specifics, but generally he's going to try to
create the conditions where Russia keeps the part of Ukraine
(22:30):
they've held for quite some time now, even before the war,
Eastern Ukraine and Crimea. He will likely recognize Crimea as
officially being part of Russia, which is what Putin has
always wanted, and then he will likely give some kind
of guarantee that there will either be an indefinite pause
(22:50):
or will completely not do it anymore. Try to work
Ukraine and Donato. We will tell the Russians is not
going to happen in exchange for them basically not moving
there on the parts of Ukraine they already hold. We
will then use that time to shore up western Ukraine
as an independent country that is, you know, standing on
(23:11):
its own, but it will be a neutral state. Now,
the key thing here I've spoke. I've actually been speaking
to people who are affiliated with the Russian side of
the Aisle, and you know they have indicated that, Hey,
don't think that Putin is going to give given this easily. Yeah,
he wants a deal, but you know he's going to
drive a hard bargain. Well, the key thing here that
(23:32):
people are not talking about, and I don't even know
if the Trump transition team is talking about this, and
it's because they're very busy. The key thing here is India.
India is the lynchpin to getting a deal in Ukraine.
Russia relies on India and China, but India in particular
to basically take in their excess oil so that they
(23:53):
can still keep the economy going. The Indian leader Modi
is very fond of Trump. Wants to have a very
close relationship between Trump wants to ensure that Indian high
tech workers, for instance, will have an easy pathway to
citizenship here in the United States. It benefits India. Trump
(24:14):
has already indicated he will go easy on H one
B visas. So there's a lot of connectivity between India
and Trump, and Trump is going to use that as
a leverage point to basically get motive to Zelena to
get Putin rather on board with this proposed peace deal,
and then we'll have peace and then we can address
(24:34):
all the other problems.
Speaker 1 (24:36):
Geopolitical analyst and author Brandon Wikert is my guest. His
latest book is called A Disaster of Our Own Making,
How the West Lost Ukraine very quickly. Does Putin feel
like he's prolonged to the war now that he's has
a North Korean troops, they're willing to sacrifice their lives.
He's obviously expended a lot of Russian lives. Does the
involvement in North Korea make him feel a little bit
(24:58):
like he's bought some more time because he has some
other people that are expendable.
Speaker 4 (25:02):
Absolutely, and that's not just North Korea, it's China as well,
and the Iran even to some degree, are all facilitating
the war efforts. So he can believe the Ukrainians dry
and Zelenski knows that. That's why now Zelenski is saying,
let's play, let's make a deal.
Speaker 1 (25:19):
Brandon Weikert, It's going to be interesting. Do you think
that how long do you think this all starts to
take place? Is this something that the Trump team is
working on now and this happens before inauguration day in January?
Or is this just something that's going to be ongoing
and take a couple more months.
Speaker 4 (25:35):
Well, best case scenario, yes, this is like Reagan with
the Iranian hostage crisis. It ends before it even gets
sworn in, probably though it'll be resolved in the first
hundred days of his administration.
Speaker 1 (25:46):
Brandon J. Wicker, If folks want to follow you, I
know you're online. You've got a couple of great books.
The latest one is called A Disaster of Our Own Making?
How the West Lost Ukraine? Give the plug of the
book and yourself, and how do folks follow you?
Speaker 4 (25:59):

Brandon and the book itself is a history, a very hard,
notsed history on how Western elites caused this war and
how Trump would have never gotten into it and how
he's going to resolve it.
Speaker 1 (26:14):
I think it's also key that we went into this war.
When they this thing first started, we said we don't
want we don't want Ukraine to be part of NATO.
Now the official policy has become yes, you're going to
become an AT nation. How does that all shake out?
Speaker 4 (26:29):
Well, the problem is is that we told the Russians
they don't we don't want them part of NATO Ukraine,
But in fact, behind the scenes, we were telling the
Ukrainians for thirty years, yeah, you're going to be able
to join, which is why Ukraine acted so aggressively. They
got ahead of their skis and so the Russians punched
them back. And now we're on the hook for it
because we encouraged them to do.

lost Ukraine. Brandon J. Wiker, the author, I encourage you
