What would the roads look like if everyone were driving using different GPS maps that were all conflicting maps?? No true north and south or same roads??? That’s how we live! We are good at taking sides and fighting, but incapable of uniting and solving anything. David Zanotti joins us as we look for a “Now What?”
YAEL ECKSTEIN is the President and CEO of the International Fellowship of Christians and Jews, and she is on the front lines as both Lebanon and Iran fire retaliatory missiles and rockets on Israel. She will have a live update from Israel with her own story, as well as the challenges facing the Foundation right now.

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hi, I'm Michael. I'd love to have you listen to
your morning show live. Every day. We're heard on great
stations like News Talk five point fifty k FYI and
Phoenix News Radio, eleven ninety k EX in Portland and
ten ninety The Patriot in Seattle. Make us a part
of your morning routine. We'd love to have you listen live.
But in the meantime, enjoy the podcast well.
Speaker 2 (00:18):
Two three starting your morning off right.
Speaker 3 (00:22):
A new way of talk, a new way of understanding
because we're in this together.
Speaker 2 (00:29):
This is your morning show with Michael O'Dell Jordan.
Speaker 1 (00:34):
Welcome morning, Thanks for making us a part of your
morning routine. Welcome to Thursday, March the twelfth year of
Our Lord, twenty twenty six on the airstreaming live on
your iHeartRadio app. This is your morning show. I am
Michael del Jornal. I mean we've kind of covered all
of this. The US plans to release one hundred and
(00:56):
seventy two million barrels of oil from the Strategic Petroleum Reserve.
Gas is only up forty eight cents. Its only been
ticking up like a couple of cents a day. This
seems to be a political reaction more than a demand
or shortage need. But here comes one hundred and seventy
two million barrels, and the administration says they'll replenish that
(01:17):
within twelve months. We overall have about four hundred and
twenty five million barrels in reserve, so this represents about
a third of our reserve. Whether it's necessary is up
for debate. Meanwhile, the IEA, the International Energy Agency, is
going to be releasing four hundred million barrels of its
one point two billion barrels of reserve to try to
(01:38):
offset things until the Strait of Hormuz is secured. It
started with Hesbelah launching missile attacks at Israel, and now
Israel is responding with bond bombing in Beirut and in
Lebanon at Hesbelat targets. We're going to check in with
the xteen of the International Fellowship. She's on the ground
(01:58):
in Israel. As it is not a television event in Israel,
it is real war. We'll have more on that coming up.
Also Sounds of the Day, and David Sanati's joining us,
our senior contributor. I like to imagine it this way.
Imagine if we're all on the road today, and everyone's
using different GPS maps, not systems maps, and they conflict.
(02:24):
There is no true north, there is no true south.
Nobody's on the same roads going in the same directions.
Can you imagine the chaos and traffic. But that's how
we live culturally politically in America. And the result of
that is we're very good at taking sides, We're very
(02:46):
good at fighting with each other. We are incapable of
uniting and solving anything. See the United States Congress. I mean,
there is nothing more hysterically, ridiculously dangerous than Congress going
from opposing parties to obstruction paralysis. I mean, we are
(03:06):
literally not finding homeland security as terrorists are plotting attacks
in California using drones and thank god, none of them
have happened yet. But if they do, well, any one
point fingers. This is the kind of chaos, stalemate, enemy
(03:27):
within paralysis we've created. And so it begs the big
question every day, no matter what today's top story is,
now what And the same is true with Iran and
understanding its threat. This isn't Israel's war and they should
go it alone or it's a fourteen hundred year war
(03:49):
and the target is Israel in the US.
Speaker 3 (03:51):
You're not.
Speaker 1 (03:52):
They're helping Israel, They're protecting yourself. And if gas is
up forty five cents, well that's the cost temporary. Suddenly
that's a crisis. But up over five dollars and fifty
cents for green initiatives that was apparently okay, blank checks
(04:13):
for the Ukraine's and their war with Russia. But we're
at eleven billion in six days. Oh that's too much, David.
How much of understanding today is impacted by all of
this worldview, background noise and living on two different GPS
(04:34):
maps simultaneously, living two different reality simultaneous. It almost makes
us incapable of keeping up, let alone understanding, doesn't it.
Speaker 4 (04:41):
And good morning boys, Morning boys. He starts with just
a simple question this morning. But this is probably one
of the more important conversations that we had the privilege
of having here on your morning show, which is, how
are we thinking?
Speaker 3 (05:00):
What are we thinking about? Why are we under so
much stress? Now?
Speaker 4 (05:04):
I could jump onto the number of things that you
presented there in a series of different ways.
Speaker 3 (05:09):
Let me start with one.
Speaker 4 (05:10):
I can't resist and that's the mythology of our functioning Congress,
our Congress is broken, and it's broken because we are
now a nation where two political parties have so carefully
gerrymanner districts both parties.
Speaker 3 (05:30):
This is universal.
Speaker 4 (05:32):
This is not one or the other based upon who
has had power over the last twenty five thirty years.
They have now put us in zones where we have
such a tiny fractional potential of getting a majority in
the United States Congress of any substance that it's very,
(05:55):
very difficult to govern. Okay, so we've got a very
tight Congress.
Speaker 3 (05:59):
Now, the problem with the Senate is we have accepted
this notion of the filibuster as if well. First off,
ninety percent of us couldn't describe what.
Speaker 4 (06:07):
The filibuster is if our lives depended on it, to
be certain, and that's just fine with the leaders of
the Republican Party in the Senate. They like playing by
rules nobody else knows, because if nobody else knows the rules,
you can get away with it.
Speaker 3 (06:23):
And they get away with it every single day. So
right now we have a situation that you point up
that is most obvious.
Speaker 1 (06:30):
It's designed to not solve things. It's designed to preserve
their power exactly.
Speaker 4 (06:35):
It's designed to only solve what the powerful people want
solved to their specific advantage, and they always divide up
the spoils between them, between the d's and ours always
gets something. It's never the RS get it all. The
de's are shut out. The d's get it all, the
RS are shut out. Everything is always split up among
the top. So we've got a situation where the American
(06:58):
people need protection.
Speaker 3 (07:00):
We're in a war. The last thing you.
Speaker 4 (07:02):
Would think to do would be exposed our airports to
more risk, especially given the fact the wars with Iran,
especially in light of the fact that evidently the United
States Senate has forgotten what happened on nine to eleven. Okay,
so we are using the Democrats are using DHS funding
as a whipping post to make their points about excesses
(07:25):
that have been made in regards to ice practices that
they would like to have reformed, rather than coming to
a common understanding which everybody understands. The ship's got to
get tighter, and it has gotten tighter without any additional
changes in funding or more laws. They've cleaned up their act.
They're working very hard to make things work in spite
of the provocation, the fact that they are being politically
(07:48):
provoked by the other side by design for electoral purposes.
Speaker 3 (07:54):
They're still trying to do the right thing the right way.
They're working on the problem.
Speaker 4 (08:00):
So the last possible thing you would want to do
to solve the problem is cut funding. Right, it's all politics,
it's all vengeance, it's all theater, and who's the loser?
Speaker 3 (08:11):
We American the people.
Speaker 1 (08:13):
So they've been playing this game in Washington, not just recently,
for decades, centuries.
Speaker 3 (08:20):
To some degree.
Speaker 1 (08:21):
We started and I don't know what caused it, twenty
four hour television news than the internet. We started obsessing
on humans and this game. Now I can tell you
because I've been there. They're playing this game all out
on television like theater, and then they're all drinking and
laughing and eating and sharing mistresses together. All right, it's
(08:42):
a whole different world there. We have these fights and
we're not talking to family members. Churches are splitting friendships,
our marriages are strained playing this theater fight that they're
having for real. Kind of like when we were kids,
and you know, Evil Knevil would jump twenty seven trucks
(09:05):
and I would take it upon myself to try to
jump five whatevers with my bike.
Speaker 3 (09:10):
Well it was a pretty disastrous.
Speaker 1 (09:13):
So but that's part of it too, isn't it that
that that theater acting of divisions that they do on
the floor and on late night talk we're playing for real. Well,
it's like watching a movie and then we're playing with
real bullets.
Speaker 4 (09:30):
Well, and let's again, let's transfer that kind of conflict
into the political board game of the United States Senate.
Here's the problem that we have. We cannot solve any
problems until we get to sixty. The last time we
got to sixty with it with a majority in the Senate,
Obamacare was passed, and that sixty vote majority disappeared within
(09:52):
ninety days because people were so upset over what the
So the Democrats had one shot at sixty and they
took it, and they did Obamaca, which has.
Speaker 3 (10:02):
Been an abysmal failure. So if I'm waiting, if we're
waiting to get to sixty, it could be the rest
of our lifetimes. Well, here's the big problem.
Speaker 4 (10:11):
If we're waiting to get sixty Republicans, what if five
of them are squished liberals.
Speaker 1 (10:18):
So America have sixty. So America is looking to politicians
like it's looking to government to solve problems that they're
not even trying to solve and by design will never
have the power to solve. And you're just playing along
in the position and fight. Well, so no wonder like them,
you end up really good at fighting, not really good
(10:40):
at solving.
Speaker 4 (10:41):
Yeah, so again I think that that now now we
can talk about how do we survive this emotional.
Speaker 1 (10:47):
Well, now what is the next question. But we also
don't want to discourage people from being involved either. Don't
give up.
Speaker 3 (10:52):
But there's there is a way.
Speaker 4 (10:54):
There is a way out of this, and it's I
want I've been waiting for months to be able to
talk with you about this. Particular note from John Fitzgerald Kennedy.
Jfkins in our first inaugural address said is his inaugural
address said ask not what your country can do for you,
but ask what you can do for your country. The
governor of Virginia, in the Democrat response to Trump's State
(11:16):
of the Union address, said you have the right to
demand more. The spirit of this age in regards to
our government is consumerism, not service. Until we recognize that
fixing our government is the most important thing we can do,
we're not going to get there. We have to come
(11:38):
to the realization that our country needs our help if
it's ever going to be restored to health and mental
health and function again. And that means we have to
do more in politics than just wake up every two
years and go vote and feel good about ourselves. We've
got to be more involved than we've ever been before.
And that's very.
Speaker 3 (11:55):
Difficult for people to accept because they've come to believe
that it's impossible to change the system.
Speaker 4 (12:00):
It's too big, it won't change, just survive. Well, that's
not going to work. So let me just give you
one piece of breaking this puzzle down.
Speaker 3 (12:12):
If there were out of one hundred people in the
club of one hundred, one hundred centers, if there were ten,
just ten. Remember each state gets two.
Speaker 4 (12:21):
So if there were just ten members of the Senate
who were actual political conservatives, constitutionalists, and free agents, it
wouldn't matter what party they were in. They would control
all business because the balance of the body would be
split forty five forty five and could get nothing done
unless the ten came with them or short ten good
(12:44):
people to change.
Speaker 3 (12:45):
The whole system.
Speaker 1 (12:47):
Now that's something you can get your arms around. How
much of this is the two party system. And if
this two party system, which I think is crumbling before
our there's uncertainly the Republican Party what they'll be after
Donald Trump. The Democrat Party is already split in thirds, Islamist, Socialist,
(13:09):
and progressive. That might take care of itself. I mean,
if we had one hundred independent senators be a different world, wouldn't.
Speaker 4 (13:18):
It If we had one hundred senators that went to
represent the people of their states instead of do the
bidding of their parties and control the multi trillion dollar
federal budget.
Speaker 3 (13:27):
Everything would change.
Speaker 4 (13:29):
But we can get there starting with just ten and
the Republican Party is split in three as well.
Speaker 5 (13:33):
In Washington, d C. There are actually six functioning parties
in the Congress. Yeah, what next when we come back
and let's address government is not the solution. It's the problem,
and we the people are the solution, and it begins
(13:55):
with fixing the government. When we continue with David Sanadi
in our journey of this revery. All right, everybody's talking
about weight loss injections. Why because they get results? How
do they work?
Speaker 6 (14:06):
Well?
Speaker 1 (14:06):
They lower your blood sugar and they reduce your appetite
and you lose weight. You lose a lot of muscle
along with that fat, and you still got the question
to answer of what happens when you stop taking the shots?
Speaker 3 (14:17):
But it works?
Speaker 1 (14:20):
But what if you're interested in losing weight, but you're
not interested in the painful weekly injections or any of
the intense side effects. Well that's why the doctors created
the weight loss supplement Lean, and the results are remarkable.
The studied ingredients that go into Lean have been shown
to lower blood sugar, sound familiar, burn fat by converting
into energy which feels great, curb your appetite and cravings
(14:43):
so you're not as hungry, you eat less. Guess what,
you lose weight Now. It's not just for somebody trying
to lose a pound or two before an event. The
doctors at brick House Nutrition created Lean for frustrated dietors
trying to lose ten or more pounds. If you add
Lean to your healthy diet and exercise plan, you're gonna
love the way you feel and you're gonna get remarkable
results without the shots, without the side effects. I want

Speaker 2 (15:24):
This is your morning show with Michael del Chrono our
journey Discovery.
Speaker 3 (15:29):
We're a mess, right.
Speaker 1 (15:30):
We're good at fighting, we're not good at uniting. We're
good at watching and rooting for our team fighting against
the other team, but we're not good at solving and
serving the American people. Could it be as simple as
not put your hope and who the next president is,
and maybe we can address this in four years or
two years or four more years after that. What if
we start focusing on ten Senate seats today? David Sinadi's
(15:54):
here more on that and that notion. Michael.
Speaker 4 (15:59):
After forty five, we have to come to the conclusion
that the Conservatives bought the lie that a single party
could dominate the process and thereby we could control things.
So we're conservatives who hit game Republicans. Then they bought
the lie that you had to play along with the
filibuster because it was some kind of a magic wand
that was absolutely necessary to save the republic. Now we're
(16:20):
in a position where we need ten people to break
the lie.
Speaker 3 (16:24):
You say, ten people of the Senate. Is it possible? Wait,
wait a second.
Speaker 4 (16:28):
Alabama, South Carolina, Alaska, Florida, Missouri, Arizona, Montana, South Dakota,
North Dakota, and Louisiana. Ten states one of their senators
who comes to be a free agent. They can be
any party or no party who says we are not
going to play along any more with this game.
Speaker 3 (16:47):
One senator from those ten states.
Speaker 4 (16:49):
In some of those ten states, that one senator could
be elected by two hundred and fifty thousand votes.
Speaker 3 (16:54):
In some cases, if.
Speaker 4 (16:56):
Someone came on with enough name, identification and money that
they could start with a base of one hundred thousand votes.
These states are small enough, everything would change. It is
completely doable. But we have to shake ourselves from the
delusion and bring constitutionalists back to the Senate instead of
worshiping people in expensive suits.
Speaker 1 (17:17):
Well, the problem is they're focused on the presidency and
they don't even know what the filibuster is or what
it's done to our country. So we got our workheut
of Us. But it's an interesting new topic to breach
and an interesting way of looking at how to eat
the elephant. And take the first bite hard and the
fun well, but the fun was quite appropriate. Well yeah,
(17:39):
especially for us to start at home, not with the Democrats.
We'll continue this theme in the days to come. David,
thank you so much. Don't forget the Public Square hurt

Senior contributor David Sanadi.
Speaker 7 (17:56):
Listen core The Yard Boy and My Morning show is
your morning show with my buddy Michael del Jorno.
Speaker 1 (18:06):
Hi, I'm Michael. We'd love to have you listen every
weekday morning to your morning show live, even take us
along with you on the drive to work. We can
be heard on great radio stations like one oh four
nine The Patriot in Saint Louis, Our Talk Radio ninety
eight point three and fifteen ten WLAC in Nashville, and
News Talk five point fifty k f YI in Phoenix, Arizona.
Love to be a part of your morning routine, but
we're always grateful you're here now, enjoy the podcast. Thanks
(18:29):
for bringing us along on your drive. This is your
morning show on Michael del Jornal. Jeffrey's Got the Sound
Red keeping an eye on the content apparently the President
is announced we're going to release one hundred and seventy
two million barrels of oil from our strategic petroleum reserve.
We have a capacity of four hundred and twenty five million,
so you're looking at about a third of the reserve
and a pledge to replenish it within twelve months. This
(18:52):
to offset the rising fuel prices due to the Straight
of Horn Moose disruption. Meanwhile, the IAE International Energy Agency
is releasing about one point two billion barrels of reserves
to the world. The Lebanese airstrikes from Hesba Lah targeting
Israel are now getting responded to by Israel. More bombs
(19:15):
coming from more directions. Let's go on the ground in Israel.
Yayel Exstein is joining a CEO of the International Fellowship
of Christians and Jews.
Speaker 3 (19:22):
You are on the front line.
Speaker 1 (19:23):
As this exchange between Lebanon and Ran continues. What's it
currently like in Israel? And good morning?
Speaker 8 (19:30):
Well, hello man, good morning. Thank you so much for
having me on in Israel. We are feeling it intensely.
Last night I was actually on a call with friends
of the Fellowship in America, updating them on projects and
being out in the field, feeding the hungry, placing bomb shelters,
distributing aid, and as I was in the middle of talking,
siroom went off, which means I have sixty seconds to
(19:51):
get to my bomb shelter, and then I continued reporting
for my bomb shelter as Hasbella launched over one hundred
and fifty rockets in a coordinated attack with Iran that
they were launching ballistic missiles. So the days are intense,
the nights are intense. But I believe that when we
can be the light, when we can go out and
help people, it is the greatest feeling of living in
(20:15):
the vision of God and Goodness that we can possibly do.
Speaker 1 (20:19):
Yeah, there's a narrative floating around in America and especially online.
We can't control all of that, but you know, the
narrative is this is Israel's war and America is being
drug into it. That's just simply dishonest to reality. This
is a fourteen hundred year motive, and Iran has been
very clear Israel and America are both the target. First
(20:39):
comes Saturday the Jews, then comes Sunday the Christians. And
then not only are you dealing with Iran, you have
to deal with their proxies and has blaws a big
one and this was a lot more rockets than I
expected they had.
Speaker 3 (20:53):
Yeah, well, you say perfectly.
Speaker 8 (20:54):
If there's one thing that we learned after October seventh,
it's when Islamic extremist governments to wipe you out and
are actively working towards that, you have to take it seriously.
And so one of the things that gives me hope
and comfort as we're living in this reality that our
kids haven't had school for two weeks, that you always
have to stay within a minute and half of a
(21:14):
bomb shelter. The reality that's so difficult. I always think
about this is so that the Americans will not have
to know this reality because when I ran says death,
Israel and deack to America and they're actively working on
a ballistic missile and a nuclear missile to reach those
American towns. Hopefully, I pray, I pray, I pray America
(21:35):
will never know that reality that we're knowing right now
because of this war that will wipe out that threat.
Speaker 1 (21:42):
That's only it's only you could say, yo, I mean
you lived here, right, I mean you have both perspectives simultaneously.
Speaker 3 (21:49):
And now I will tell you that.
Speaker 1 (21:50):
And we have these reports, and I know officials are
downplaying the threat, but the FBI reportedly warrened California police
that Iran was targeting the West coast with their platory
strikes using drones. And right now we're not even funding
the Department of Homeland Security at home. I mean, that's
why I said from day one, at least I know
Israel is willing to pay the price. Israel is united,
(22:11):
and Israel is prepared. America is none of those three things.
So I actually I'm with you. I worry more about
America than Israel. But yeah, I think and I think
they could and might even now, and with drones. So
I don't think an ocean protects US, but they simply
couldn't be allowed to have a weapon of mass destruction.
Speaker 3 (22:31):
All right.
Speaker 1 (22:31):
I'm very concerned about the needs on the ground. I mean,
the destruction is starting to build, so the amount of homes,
those injured, so the hospitals are filling up, and those
that have been killed since the beginning of this, What
are the needs and how can American help Israel because
this is not a television event in Israel.
Speaker 8 (22:52):
Well, thank you so much, Michael, and I hear the
silenced majority of America rising up in words and prayer
and in action. And just this week I was out
in the field where I distributed life saving bulletproof vests
and helmets to first responders who were at the site
of an attack that I ran named ballistic missile destroyed
(23:12):
the synagogue, killed nine people, including three siblings from the
same family, and they were working in the search and
rescue as missiles were still flying, not thinking about themselves.
And I was there to give them these bests and
helmets and say this is from people in America who
love you. And the first responders' kits for Israel's heroic
first responders medical first responders. We have distributed thousands of
(23:35):
those because these towns you never thought that you would
need them. Tel Aviv, Jerusalem under extreme missile attack with
buildings being destroyed.
Speaker 4 (23:44):
And then of course you have the weakest.
Speaker 8 (23:45):
Of the population, the elderly, who haven't been able to
have their home care workers arrived because of the dangers
of the situation. And so if an elderly doesn't have
family support, they haven't had anyone there for two weeks,
no one to go shopping for them, for groceries and
on to cook for them, which means their cabinets are oh,
they are completely empty. And so when I was just
(24:06):
at a ninety four year old woman's house two days ago,
and I brought her prepared meals and filled her fridge
and her freezer, and I was untacking the food box
and her cabinet, and all of a sudden, the colde
red siren went off, and she said, ye oh, go go, you.
Speaker 1 (24:18):
Seek shelter for yourself. You're young, you're healthy.
Speaker 8 (24:21):
I won't make it there in time. I just wait
in my house and pray, and I went and I.
Speaker 1 (24:25):
Lifted her up and walked slowly with.
Speaker 8 (24:27):
Her to the shelter, and as soon as we got
in and closed the door, we heard the big explosion.
But when I'm not there, she's just sitting and praying.
Speaker 3 (24:34):
And she was doing that without food.
Speaker 8 (24:37):
And so the needs for food for elderly and for
baby formula for children living in the shelters, now that
is a huge priority. And the Fellowship has our soup
kitchens working overtime in every city to provide.
Speaker 1 (24:49):
Yeah, and you know those needs, And that's why money
is of the most use, because you can convert that
money into what the specific needs are. You have a
hard out, I know you need to go, Yale. I'm
looking out for you. I'm going to t talk to
the listeners. Now on your behalf, you go to the
next interview. Listen. International Fellowship at Christian Jews is our
opportunity to stand with Israel. There is a compelling war story,
(25:10):
like a movie that isn't being played in America. I
don't know why we're spending so much time focusing on
forty five cents a gallon and no attention, and nobody's
even showing you what's happening on the ground.
Speaker 3 (25:22):
And if it's not.
Speaker 1 (25:22):
Coming from Iran, it's coming from Lebanon and Hezblah. Only
you can do it. You can choose to stand with
Israel today and give your forty five dollars securely. All
you have to do is go to IFCJ dot org
and give today. But there's some pretty horrific things happening
on the ground, and they're happening there today, they could
(25:45):
be happening here tomorrow. It's time for Christians to stand
with Israel. And then a beautiful thought knowing yells on
the ground saying hey, this is from America.
Speaker 3 (25:54):
Can you imagine if you.
Speaker 1 (25:56):
Were on like a what looked like a movie set,
bombs are going off and you're ninety something years old
and you've got nothing to protect yourself, or a baby
crying and no food to give it and no home
to return to. I pray you will first and foremost
pray for Israel. They're living in real hell right now,
and it's far worse than forty five cents a gallon.
Speaker 3 (26:16):
All right, everybody look them out.
Speaker 6 (26:18):
Look, you just gotta try harder not to show some
the opportunity for a brief civics lesson.
Speaker 7 (26:23):
Sure, perhaps you'd like to be alone with you's a
deteriorating mental condition.
Speaker 1 (26:29):
Politics. You don't know us, all right, I'm going to
tell you in all honesty, this is a c SPAN
presentation of the President yesterday. So Brett and I had
this conversation. They could have deadened. I mean, if you
ever watched a football game where they have the crowd
(26:51):
sound too low, or watch when they have the crowd
sound too high, it changes the feeling. The problem is
I'm looking looking straight at the president, and I'm looking
at people that are behind him, and of all the
people behind him, there's one woman smiling, no one else
is smiling, and when he makes some of these statements,
(27:11):
no one claps in cheers. So when I was having
the discussion with Red, I was like, I have a
question as to how well this was received based on
what I'm seeing and what I'm hearing. But that wasn't
even my biggest problem. Now, redwould wants you to have
the long history of the ship the Bush landed on
(27:36):
with the signs mission accomplished. That was specific to that ship.
But the visual, the optic and the messaging that America
saw was, Oh, the war in I Rock is over.
We're declaring victory, and our president is in flight gear
and just landed on a battleship. War's over. Where's the
(27:57):
pictures of Times Square of people hugging and kissing. Of
course it wasn't, and it was a narrative that was
turned against him. As I told Red, yeah, I sense
the same thing you did, and I can't explain it.
But I'll tell you what really troubles me. I don't
want to relive mission accomplished because this is a long
way from over, and that's kind of what it felt like.
(28:18):
And I'll let you listen and maybe you'll see why
I felt that way.
Speaker 7 (28:21):
Listen, and as we take decisive action to stop the
threat posed by the terrorist regime in Iran with Operation
Epic Fury.
Speaker 1 (28:34):
Okay, now I'm that you see how low that was.
I'm looking at it and it's a wide pan view.
There's only about a third of the people clapping. So
I do think it's all the above. I think they
have the sound lowered down. I don't think everybody was
just on board to cheer for anything, but keep listening.
Speaker 7 (28:58):
Is that a great name? Well, it's only good if
you win.
Speaker 3 (29:02):
You know, you can on need to. And we've won.
Let me say we've won. You know, you never like
to say too early you won.
Speaker 7 (29:09):
We won.
Speaker 3 (29:09):
We won the best in the first hour it was over.
Oh we won.
Speaker 7 (29:13):
But but they gave me a list of names that general, Sir,
you couldn't pick the name you'd like, Sir, I said,
the name of what the name of the attack on
a r answer, And they gave me like twenty names, and
I'm like falling asleep.
Speaker 1 (29:27):
I didn't like any of them.
Speaker 3 (29:28):
Then I see Epic Fury. I said, I like that name.
I like that name.
Speaker 1 (29:37):
That one I will tell you everybody seemed to clap
and it was still low, so I think they were
playing games and have been c SPAN's away. It could
have been just the way it happened, or they're trying
to downplay the enthusiasm. I will say this, and I'm
not being too hard on the president, as somebody emailed earlier.
Careful with comments like that we won in the first hour,
(29:58):
No A fourteen hundred. Your war is not over and
it wasn't over in the first hour, and it's not
over yet. Careful with statements like that, I get mission accomplished.
Speaker 3 (30:10):
Deja vu.
Speaker 1 (30:12):
Here's New Gingrich, who I think is the sound of
the day, and you're not going to like everything he says,
but don't read more into it.
Speaker 3 (30:18):
Than what he's saying.
Speaker 1 (30:21):
He's just saying there are three important things and they
are not done yet, and how long it takes to
get them done, and getting them done is the difference
between whether you are a victor or you are defeated.
And it was a little bit of both. It was
a little bit of the tone and the wording of
(30:43):
the President in Cincinnati, and what New Gingrich was saying.
I wanted you to hear them back to back, just
as I did. And my discernment is President needs to
get his messaging honed in. My other thought was, I
hope the President is thinking like Newt Gingridge.
Speaker 6 (31:03):
Well, I think they'll vacu him for a little while,
but they're not going to vacu him forever. I look,
there are three huge challenges that this administration has tackled.
The first is that, and they should have frankly moved
on this on day one. They have to keep the
Strait of Hormos open. Yes, I don't care what it costs.
(31:24):
If they can't keep it open, this war will in
fact be an American defeat before very long, because the
entire world, including the American people, will react to the
price of oil if the strait stays closed.
Speaker 1 (31:37):
Right a long So now doesn't mean it's it's right
that they will. And we've talked about when fuel was
a five dollars and fifty cents and more gallon for
green initiatives, nobody said a peep. Now it's up forty
five cents to eliminate terror, and suddenly it's not okay,
(31:58):
or a blank check for an endless amount of time
to Ukraine to fight.
Speaker 3 (32:01):
Russia, No big deal.
Speaker 1 (32:03):
Eleven billion dollars to end this threat of a nuclear Iran. Oh,
that's far too much. That's endless. That's the game of narrative,
and that's the political pressure. Now what Newt can't answer?
What I can't answer, I don't even think the president
can answer. I don't know how high gas can go
and for how long before it backfires. But there is
(32:25):
an expiration date, and he's right to point out. Now,
don't miss we have just a minute or so, but
don't miss the final two points.
Speaker 6 (32:31):
I lived through this with Ragan as you did in
the late eighties. Keeping this trade open is the number
one job because it buys you time for the two
other jobs. The second job is we're going to discover
that the Revolutionary Guard is tougher than we thought it was,
better connected, and have at least two hundred thousand people
who are true believers, and they have no future. I
(32:55):
mean that Trump can say i'mconditional strunner. These folks know
if they lose power, they have no future. The third
challenge is how do you arouse and organize the street
the eighty five million or so people in Iran who
do not want the current regime. But they're unarmed, they're unorganized,
(33:18):
and that.
Speaker 3 (33:19):
Has to be solved.
Speaker 6 (33:20):
These three problems are going to decide whether this was
a stroke of genius or frankly, a step into quicksand.
Speaker 1 (33:30):
I will say this on behalf of newt it's far
too early to be making statements that could be perceived
as claiming victory. And it's a timing issue. Keep the
straight of Hormuz up. You buy yourself a lot more
time for the good, the better, and the best. The
good is you kick the can and they don't have
(33:51):
enriched uranium at weapons level, advanced centrifuges and delivery systems
to be a threat to the region in the world
that much. I do think you've accomplished with the exception
of going in now and getting that uranium wherever it is.
But then you still have to finish crushing the revolutionary Guard,
(34:12):
which isn't yet, and you still have to get the
people to rise up and feel like they can't safely
regime change. You can always stop after you leave with
the uranium, or you could move on to crushing the
revolutionary Guard and maybe instigating the third ultimate goal, which
is Iran returns to what it once was and not
(34:36):
a dangerous radical Islamist republic.
Speaker 2 (34:39):
It's your Morning show with Michael del Jno.
Speaker 1 (34:43):
Another severe weather day for the Gulf Coast all the
way up through the mid Atlantic. Keep an eye out
for severe thunderstorms. US planning to release one hundred and
seventy two million bars of oil to offset the rise
and gas prices. Not sure that was necessary yet, and
the first six days of war costed over eleven billion dollars.
Would we get for money? Roy O'Neil, our national correspondence
here with the update Priority number one. We were just
(35:05):
talking about, get that straight of horror moves safe and
open any closer.
Speaker 3 (35:10):
Well, you know, in.
Speaker 9 (35:11):
The past two days, what we've seen six ships come
under attack, some owned by American companies, others flagged to
countries like Thailand, and of course it just creates spectacular
TV footage that quickly spreads even on the Internet as well,
and that's what sort of drove the spike in oil
prices overnight. Now they were up over one hundred bucks
a barrel, but have settled back down into the mid
(35:33):
to low nineties. But still it's pretty tense there as
we look at a Canal, an area that has about
twenty percent of the world's energy and about thirty percent
of the world's fertilizer passed through the strait.
Speaker 1 (35:46):
So we have the mines that are being placed, so
going after whoever's placing those, yeah, yeah, and then the
getting the mines out that are there, then the suggestion
of military escort. But ultimately we're right on those insurance companies.
Speaker 9 (35:58):
Insurance companies and the fact that you know, whatever struck
these ships in these cases, was it an RPG from
the coast, was it someone on a boat that fired
off something, or was it a drone that was perhaps
launched from one of those small speedboats. They're almost impossible
to defend against because they're.
Speaker 1 (36:14):
So low to the water. Rory has always great reporting.
Speaker 3 (36:17):
We'll talk again tomorrow.
Speaker 1 (36:18):
All right, one chance to live this Thursday, March twelfth,
twenty twenty six. Don't let all this intimidate you. Get
out there and love someone more than yourself, make a
difference in someone's life, and cherish your room. We'll see
you back here tomorrow morning to make sense of it
all on the next your morning show.
Speaker 2 (36:32):
We're all in this together. This is your morning show
with michael vinheld journo
Hi, I'm Michael. I'd love to have you listen to
your morning show live. Every day. We're heard on great
stations like News Talk five point fifty k FYI and
Phoenix News Radio, eleven ninety k EX in Portland and
ten ninety The Patriot in Seattle. Make us a part
of your morning routine. We'd love to have you listen live.
But in the meantime, enjoy the podcast well.
Speaker 2 (00:18):
Two three starting your morning off right.
Speaker 3 (00:22):
A new way of talk, a new way of understanding
because we're in this together.
Speaker 2 (00:29):
This is your morning show with Michael O'Dell Jordan.
Speaker 1 (00:34):
Welcome morning, Thanks for making us a part of your
morning routine. Welcome to Thursday, March the twelfth year of
Our Lord, twenty twenty six on the airstreaming live on
your iHeartRadio app. This is your morning show. I am
Michael del Jornal. I mean we've kind of covered all
of this. The US plans to release one hundred and
(00:56):
seventy two million barrels of oil from the Strategic Petroleum Reserve.
Gas is only up forty eight cents. Its only been
ticking up like a couple of cents a day. This
seems to be a political reaction more than a demand
or shortage need. But here comes one hundred and seventy
two million barrels, and the administration says they'll replenish that
(01:17):
within twelve months. We overall have about four hundred and
twenty five million barrels in reserve, so this represents about
a third of our reserve. Whether it's necessary is up
for debate. Meanwhile, the IEA, the International Energy Agency, is
going to be releasing four hundred million barrels of its
one point two billion barrels of reserve to try to
(01:38):
offset things until the Strait of Hormuz is secured. It
started with Hesbelah launching missile attacks at Israel, and now
Israel is responding with bond bombing in Beirut and in
Lebanon at Hesbelat targets. We're going to check in with
the xteen of the International Fellowship. She's on the ground
(01:58):
in Israel. As it is not a television event in Israel,
it is real war. We'll have more on that coming up.
Also Sounds of the Day, and David Sanati's joining us,
our senior contributor. I like to imagine it this way.
Imagine if we're all on the road today, and everyone's
using different GPS maps, not systems maps, and they conflict.
(02:24):
There is no true north, there is no true south.
Nobody's on the same roads going in the same directions.
Can you imagine the chaos and traffic. But that's how
we live culturally politically in America. And the result of
that is we're very good at taking sides, We're very
(02:46):
good at fighting with each other. We are incapable of
uniting and solving anything. See the United States Congress. I mean,
there is nothing more hysterically, ridiculously dangerous than Congress going
from opposing parties to obstruction paralysis. I mean, we are
(03:06):
literally not finding homeland security as terrorists are plotting attacks
in California using drones and thank god, none of them
have happened yet. But if they do, well, any one
point fingers. This is the kind of chaos, stalemate, enemy
(03:27):
within paralysis we've created. And so it begs the big
question every day, no matter what today's top story is,
now what And the same is true with Iran and
understanding its threat. This isn't Israel's war and they should
go it alone or it's a fourteen hundred year war
(03:49):
and the target is Israel in the US.
Speaker 3 (03:51):
You're not.
Speaker 1 (03:52):
They're helping Israel, They're protecting yourself. And if gas is
up forty five cents, well that's the cost temporary. Suddenly
that's a crisis. But up over five dollars and fifty
cents for green initiatives that was apparently okay, blank checks
(04:13):
for the Ukraine's and their war with Russia. But we're
at eleven billion in six days. Oh that's too much, David.
How much of understanding today is impacted by all of
this worldview, background noise and living on two different GPS
(04:34):
maps simultaneously, living two different reality simultaneous. It almost makes
us incapable of keeping up, let alone understanding, doesn't it.
Speaker 4 (04:41):
And good morning boys, Morning boys. He starts with just
a simple question this morning. But this is probably one
of the more important conversations that we had the privilege
of having here on your morning show, which is, how
are we thinking?
Speaker 3 (05:00):
What are we thinking about? Why are we under so
much stress? Now?
Speaker 4 (05:04):
I could jump onto the number of things that you
presented there in a series of different ways.
Speaker 3 (05:09):
Let me start with one.
Speaker 4 (05:10):
I can't resist and that's the mythology of our functioning Congress,
our Congress is broken, and it's broken because we are
now a nation where two political parties have so carefully
gerrymanner districts both parties.
Speaker 3 (05:30):
This is universal.
Speaker 4 (05:32):
This is not one or the other based upon who
has had power over the last twenty five thirty years.
They have now put us in zones where we have
such a tiny fractional potential of getting a majority in
the United States Congress of any substance that it's very,
(05:55):
very difficult to govern. Okay, so we've got a very
tight Congress.
Speaker 3 (05:59):
Now, the problem with the Senate is we have accepted
this notion of the filibuster as if well. First off,
ninety percent of us couldn't describe what.
Speaker 4 (06:07):
The filibuster is if our lives depended on it, to
be certain, and that's just fine with the leaders of
the Republican Party in the Senate. They like playing by
rules nobody else knows, because if nobody else knows the rules,
you can get away with it.
Speaker 3 (06:23):
And they get away with it every single day. So
right now we have a situation that you point up
that is most obvious.
Speaker 1 (06:30):
It's designed to not solve things. It's designed to preserve
their power exactly.
Speaker 4 (06:35):
It's designed to only solve what the powerful people want
solved to their specific advantage, and they always divide up
the spoils between them, between the d's and ours always
gets something. It's never the RS get it all. The
de's are shut out. The d's get it all, the
RS are shut out. Everything is always split up among
the top. So we've got a situation where the American
(06:58):
people need protection.
Speaker 3 (07:00):
We're in a war. The last thing you.
Speaker 4 (07:02):
Would think to do would be exposed our airports to
more risk, especially given the fact the wars with Iran,
especially in light of the fact that evidently the United
States Senate has forgotten what happened on nine to eleven. Okay,
so we are using the Democrats are using DHS funding
as a whipping post to make their points about excesses
(07:25):
that have been made in regards to ice practices that
they would like to have reformed, rather than coming to
a common understanding which everybody understands. The ship's got to
get tighter, and it has gotten tighter without any additional
changes in funding or more laws. They've cleaned up their act.
They're working very hard to make things work in spite
of the provocation, the fact that they are being politically
(07:48):
provoked by the other side by design for electoral purposes.
Speaker 3 (07:54):
They're still trying to do the right thing the right way.
They're working on the problem.
Speaker 4 (08:00):
So the last possible thing you would want to do
to solve the problem is cut funding. Right, it's all politics,
it's all vengeance, it's all theater, and who's the loser?
Speaker 3 (08:11):
We American the people.
Speaker 1 (08:13):
So they've been playing this game in Washington, not just recently,
for decades, centuries.
Speaker 3 (08:20):
To some degree.
Speaker 1 (08:21):
We started and I don't know what caused it, twenty
four hour television news than the internet. We started obsessing
on humans and this game. Now I can tell you
because I've been there. They're playing this game all out
on television like theater, and then they're all drinking and
laughing and eating and sharing mistresses together. All right, it's
(08:42):
a whole different world there. We have these fights and
we're not talking to family members. Churches are splitting friendships,
our marriages are strained playing this theater fight that they're
having for real. Kind of like when we were kids,
and you know, Evil Knevil would jump twenty seven trucks
(09:05):
and I would take it upon myself to try to
jump five whatevers with my bike.
Speaker 3 (09:10):
Well it was a pretty disastrous.
Speaker 1 (09:13):
So but that's part of it too, isn't it that
that that theater acting of divisions that they do on
the floor and on late night talk we're playing for real. Well,
it's like watching a movie and then we're playing with
real bullets.
Speaker 4 (09:30):
Well, and let's again, let's transfer that kind of conflict
into the political board game of the United States Senate.
Here's the problem that we have. We cannot solve any
problems until we get to sixty. The last time we
got to sixty with it with a majority in the Senate,
Obamacare was passed, and that sixty vote majority disappeared within
(09:52):
ninety days because people were so upset over what the
So the Democrats had one shot at sixty and they
took it, and they did Obamaca, which has.
Speaker 3 (10:02):
Been an abysmal failure. So if I'm waiting, if we're
waiting to get to sixty, it could be the rest
of our lifetimes. Well, here's the big problem.
Speaker 4 (10:11):
If we're waiting to get sixty Republicans, what if five
of them are squished liberals.
Speaker 1 (10:18):
So America have sixty. So America is looking to politicians
like it's looking to government to solve problems that they're
not even trying to solve and by design will never
have the power to solve. And you're just playing along
in the position and fight. Well, so no wonder like them,
you end up really good at fighting, not really good
(10:40):
at solving.
Speaker 4 (10:41):
Yeah, so again I think that that now now we
can talk about how do we survive this emotional.
Speaker 1 (10:47):
Well, now what is the next question. But we also
don't want to discourage people from being involved either. Don't
give up.
Speaker 3 (10:52):
But there's there is a way.
Speaker 4 (10:54):
There is a way out of this, and it's I
want I've been waiting for months to be able to
talk with you about this. Particular note from John Fitzgerald Kennedy.
Jfkins in our first inaugural address said is his inaugural
address said ask not what your country can do for you,
but ask what you can do for your country. The
governor of Virginia, in the Democrat response to Trump's State
(11:16):
of the Union address, said you have the right to
demand more. The spirit of this age in regards to
our government is consumerism, not service. Until we recognize that
fixing our government is the most important thing we can do,
we're not going to get there. We have to come
(11:38):
to the realization that our country needs our help if
it's ever going to be restored to health and mental
health and function again. And that means we have to
do more in politics than just wake up every two
years and go vote and feel good about ourselves. We've
got to be more involved than we've ever been before.
And that's very.
Speaker 3 (11:55):
Difficult for people to accept because they've come to believe
that it's impossible to change the system.
Speaker 4 (12:00):
It's too big, it won't change, just survive. Well, that's
not going to work. So let me just give you
one piece of breaking this puzzle down.
Speaker 3 (12:12):
If there were out of one hundred people in the
club of one hundred, one hundred centers, if there were ten,
just ten. Remember each state gets two.
Speaker 4 (12:21):
So if there were just ten members of the Senate
who were actual political conservatives, constitutionalists, and free agents, it
wouldn't matter what party they were in. They would control
all business because the balance of the body would be
split forty five forty five and could get nothing done
unless the ten came with them or short ten good
(12:44):
people to change.
Speaker 3 (12:45):
The whole system.
Speaker 1 (12:47):
Now that's something you can get your arms around. How
much of this is the two party system. And if
this two party system, which I think is crumbling before
our there's uncertainly the Republican Party what they'll be after
Donald Trump. The Democrat Party is already split in thirds, Islamist, Socialist,
(13:09):
and progressive. That might take care of itself. I mean,
if we had one hundred independent senators be a different world, wouldn't.
Speaker 4 (13:18):
It If we had one hundred senators that went to
represent the people of their states instead of do the
bidding of their parties and control the multi trillion dollar
federal budget.
Speaker 3 (13:27):
Everything would change.
Speaker 4 (13:29):
But we can get there starting with just ten and
the Republican Party is split in three as well.
Speaker 5 (13:33):
In Washington, d C. There are actually six functioning parties
in the Congress. Yeah, what next when we come back
and let's address government is not the solution. It's the problem,
and we the people are the solution, and it begins
(13:55):
with fixing the government. When we continue with David Sanadi
in our journey of this revery. All right, everybody's talking
about weight loss injections. Why because they get results? How
do they work?
Speaker 6 (14:06):
Well?
Speaker 1 (14:06):
They lower your blood sugar and they reduce your appetite
and you lose weight. You lose a lot of muscle
along with that fat, and you still got the question
to answer of what happens when you stop taking the shots?
Speaker 3 (14:17):
But it works?
Speaker 1 (14:20):
But what if you're interested in losing weight, but you're
not interested in the painful weekly injections or any of
the intense side effects. Well that's why the doctors created
the weight loss supplement Lean, and the results are remarkable.
The studied ingredients that go into Lean have been shown
to lower blood sugar, sound familiar, burn fat by converting
into energy which feels great, curb your appetite and cravings
(14:43):
so you're not as hungry, you eat less. Guess what,
you lose weight Now. It's not just for somebody trying
to lose a pound or two before an event. The
doctors at brick House Nutrition created Lean for frustrated dietors
trying to lose ten or more pounds. If you add
Lean to your healthy diet and exercise plan, you're gonna
love the way you feel and you're gonna get remarkable
results without the shots, without the side effects. I want

Speaker 2 (15:24):
This is your morning show with Michael del Chrono our
journey Discovery.
Speaker 3 (15:29):
We're a mess, right.
Speaker 1 (15:30):
We're good at fighting, we're not good at uniting. We're
good at watching and rooting for our team fighting against
the other team, but we're not good at solving and
serving the American people. Could it be as simple as
not put your hope and who the next president is,
and maybe we can address this in four years or
two years or four more years after that. What if
we start focusing on ten Senate seats today? David Sinadi's
(15:54):
here more on that and that notion. Michael.
Speaker 4 (15:59):
After forty five, we have to come to the conclusion
that the Conservatives bought the lie that a single party
could dominate the process and thereby we could control things.
So we're conservatives who hit game Republicans. Then they bought
the lie that you had to play along with the
filibuster because it was some kind of a magic wand
that was absolutely necessary to save the republic. Now we're
(16:20):
in a position where we need ten people to break
the lie.
Speaker 3 (16:24):
You say, ten people of the Senate. Is it possible? Wait,
wait a second.
Speaker 4 (16:28):
Alabama, South Carolina, Alaska, Florida, Missouri, Arizona, Montana, South Dakota,
North Dakota, and Louisiana. Ten states one of their senators
who comes to be a free agent. They can be
any party or no party who says we are not
going to play along any more with this game.
Speaker 3 (16:47):
One senator from those ten states.
Speaker 4 (16:49):
In some of those ten states, that one senator could
be elected by two hundred and fifty thousand votes.
Speaker 3 (16:54):
In some cases, if.
Speaker 4 (16:56):
Someone came on with enough name, identification and money that
they could start with a base of one hundred thousand votes.
These states are small enough, everything would change. It is
completely doable. But we have to shake ourselves from the
delusion and bring constitutionalists back to the Senate instead of
worshiping people in expensive suits.
Speaker 1 (17:17):
Well, the problem is they're focused on the presidency and
they don't even know what the filibuster is or what
it's done to our country. So we got our workheut
of Us. But it's an interesting new topic to breach
and an interesting way of looking at how to eat
the elephant. And take the first bite hard and the
fun well, but the fun was quite appropriate. Well yeah,
(17:39):
especially for us to start at home, not with the Democrats.
We'll continue this theme in the days to come. David,
thank you so much. Don't forget the Public Square hurt

Hi, I'm Michael. We'd love to have you listen every
weekday morning to your morning show live, even take us
along with you on the drive to work. We can

News Talk five point fifty k f YI in Phoenix, Arizona.
Love to be a part of your morning routine, but
we're always grateful you're here now, enjoy the podcast. Thanks
(18:29):
for bringing us along on your drive. This is your
morning show on Michael del Jornal. Jeffrey's Got the Sound
Red keeping an eye on the content apparently the President
is announced we're going to release one hundred and seventy
two million barrels of oil from our strategic petroleum reserve.
We have a capacity of four hundred and twenty five million,
so you're looking at about a third of the reserve
and a pledge to replenish it within twelve months. This
(18:52):
to offset the rising fuel prices due to the Straight
of Horn Moose disruption. Meanwhile, the IAE International Energy Agency
is releasing about one point two billion barrels of reserves
to the world. The Lebanese airstrikes from Hesba Lah targeting
Israel are now getting responded to by Israel. More bombs
(19:15):
coming from more directions. Let's go on the ground in Israel.
Yayel Exstein is joining a CEO of the International Fellowship
of Christians and Jews.
Speaker 3 (19:22):
You are on the front line.
Speaker 1 (19:23):
As this exchange between Lebanon and Ran continues. What's it
currently like in Israel? And good morning?
Speaker 8 (19:30):
Well, hello man, good morning. Thank you so much for
having me on in Israel. We are feeling it intensely.
Last night I was actually on a call with friends
of the Fellowship in America, updating them on projects and
being out in the field, feeding the hungry, placing bomb shelters,
distributing aid, and as I was in the middle of talking,
siroom went off, which means I have sixty seconds to
(19:51):
get to my bomb shelter, and then I continued reporting
for my bomb shelter as Hasbella launched over one hundred
and fifty rockets in a coordinated attack with Iran that
they were launching ballistic missiles. So the days are intense,
the nights are intense. But I believe that when we
can be the light, when we can go out and
help people, it is the greatest feeling of living in
(20:15):
the vision of God and Goodness that we can possibly do.
Speaker 1 (20:19):
Yeah, there's a narrative floating around in America and especially online.
We can't control all of that, but you know, the
narrative is this is Israel's war and America is being
drug into it. That's just simply dishonest to reality. This
is a fourteen hundred year motive, and Iran has been
very clear Israel and America are both the target. First
(20:39):
comes Saturday the Jews, then comes Sunday the Christians. And
then not only are you dealing with Iran, you have
to deal with their proxies and has blaws a big
one and this was a lot more rockets than I
expected they had.
Speaker 3 (20:53):
Yeah, well, you say perfectly.
Speaker 8 (20:54):
If there's one thing that we learned after October seventh,
it's when Islamic extremist governments to wipe you out and
are actively working towards that, you have to take it seriously.
And so one of the things that gives me hope
and comfort as we're living in this reality that our
kids haven't had school for two weeks, that you always
have to stay within a minute and half of a
(21:14):
bomb shelter. The reality that's so difficult. I always think
about this is so that the Americans will not have
to know this reality because when I ran says death,
Israel and deack to America and they're actively working on
a ballistic missile and a nuclear missile to reach those
American towns. Hopefully, I pray, I pray, I pray America
(21:35):
will never know that reality that we're knowing right now
because of this war that will wipe out that threat.
Speaker 1 (21:42):
That's only it's only you could say, yo, I mean
you lived here, right, I mean you have both perspectives simultaneously.
Speaker 3 (21:49):
And now I will tell you that.
Speaker 1 (21:50):
And we have these reports, and I know officials are
downplaying the threat, but the FBI reportedly warrened California police
that Iran was targeting the West coast with their platory
strikes using drones. And right now we're not even funding
the Department of Homeland Security at home. I mean, that's
why I said from day one, at least I know
Israel is willing to pay the price. Israel is united,
(22:11):
and Israel is prepared. America is none of those three things.
So I actually I'm with you. I worry more about
America than Israel. But yeah, I think and I think
they could and might even now, and with drones. So
I don't think an ocean protects US, but they simply
couldn't be allowed to have a weapon of mass destruction.
Speaker 3 (22:31):
All right.
Speaker 1 (22:31):
I'm very concerned about the needs on the ground. I mean,
the destruction is starting to build, so the amount of homes,
those injured, so the hospitals are filling up, and those
that have been killed since the beginning of this, What
are the needs and how can American help Israel because
this is not a television event in Israel.
Speaker 8 (22:52):
Well, thank you so much, Michael, and I hear the
silenced majority of America rising up in words and prayer
and in action. And just this week I was out
in the field where I distributed life saving bulletproof vests
and helmets to first responders who were at the site
of an attack that I ran named ballistic missile destroyed
(23:12):
the synagogue, killed nine people, including three siblings from the
same family, and they were working in the search and
rescue as missiles were still flying, not thinking about themselves.
And I was there to give them these bests and
helmets and say this is from people in America who
love you. And the first responders' kits for Israel's heroic
first responders medical first responders. We have distributed thousands of
(23:35):
those because these towns you never thought that you would
need them. Tel Aviv, Jerusalem under extreme missile attack with
buildings being destroyed.
Speaker 4 (23:44):
And then of course you have the weakest.
Speaker 8 (23:45):
Of the population, the elderly, who haven't been able to
have their home care workers arrived because of the dangers
of the situation. And so if an elderly doesn't have
family support, they haven't had anyone there for two weeks,
no one to go shopping for them, for groceries and
on to cook for them, which means their cabinets are oh,
they are completely empty. And so when I was just
(24:06):
at a ninety four year old woman's house two days ago,
and I brought her prepared meals and filled her fridge
and her freezer, and I was untacking the food box
and her cabinet, and all of a sudden, the colde
red siren went off, and she said, ye oh, go go, you.
Speaker 1 (24:18):
Seek shelter for yourself. You're young, you're healthy.
Speaker 8 (24:21):
I won't make it there in time. I just wait
in my house and pray, and I went and I.
Speaker 1 (24:25):
Lifted her up and walked slowly with.
Speaker 8 (24:27):
Her to the shelter, and as soon as we got
in and closed the door, we heard the big explosion.
But when I'm not there, she's just sitting and praying.
Speaker 3 (24:34):
And she was doing that without food.
Speaker 8 (24:37):
And so the needs for food for elderly and for
baby formula for children living in the shelters, now that
is a huge priority. And the Fellowship has our soup
kitchens working overtime in every city to provide.
Speaker 1 (24:49):
Yeah, and you know those needs, And that's why money
is of the most use, because you can convert that
money into what the specific needs are. You have a
hard out, I know you need to go, Yale. I'm
looking out for you. I'm going to t talk to
the listeners. Now on your behalf, you go to the
next interview. Listen. International Fellowship at Christian Jews is our
opportunity to stand with Israel. There is a compelling war story,
(25:10):
like a movie that isn't being played in America. I
don't know why we're spending so much time focusing on
forty five cents a gallon and no attention, and nobody's
even showing you what's happening on the ground.
Speaker 3 (25:22):
And if it's not.
Speaker 1 (25:22):
Coming from Iran, it's coming from Lebanon and Hezblah. Only
you can do it. You can choose to stand with
Israel today and give your forty five dollars securely. All
you have to do is go to IFCJ dot org
and give today. But there's some pretty horrific things happening
on the ground, and they're happening there today, they could
(25:45):
be happening here tomorrow. It's time for Christians to stand
with Israel. And then a beautiful thought knowing yells on
the ground saying hey, this is from America.
Speaker 3 (25:54):
Can you imagine if you.
Speaker 1 (25:56):
Were on like a what looked like a movie set,
bombs are going off and you're ninety something years old
and you've got nothing to protect yourself, or a baby
crying and no food to give it and no home
to return to. I pray you will first and foremost
pray for Israel. They're living in real hell right now,
and it's far worse than forty five cents a gallon.
Speaker 3 (26:16):
All right, everybody look them out.
Speaker 6 (26:18):
Look, you just gotta try harder not to show some
the opportunity for a brief civics lesson.
Speaker 7 (26:23):
Sure, perhaps you'd like to be alone with you's a
deteriorating mental condition.
Speaker 1 (26:29):
Politics. You don't know us, all right, I'm going to
tell you in all honesty, this is a c SPAN
presentation of the President yesterday. So Brett and I had
this conversation. They could have deadened. I mean, if you
ever watched a football game where they have the crowd
(26:51):
sound too low, or watch when they have the crowd
sound too high, it changes the feeling. The problem is
I'm looking looking straight at the president, and I'm looking
at people that are behind him, and of all the
people behind him, there's one woman smiling, no one else
is smiling, and when he makes some of these statements,
(27:11):
no one claps in cheers. So when I was having
the discussion with Red, I was like, I have a
question as to how well this was received based on
what I'm seeing and what I'm hearing. But that wasn't
even my biggest problem. Now, redwould wants you to have
the long history of the ship the Bush landed on
(27:36):
with the signs mission accomplished. That was specific to that ship.
But the visual, the optic and the messaging that America
saw was, Oh, the war in I Rock is over.
We're declaring victory, and our president is in flight gear
and just landed on a battleship. War's over. Where's the
(27:57):
pictures of Times Square of people hugging and kissing. Of
course it wasn't, and it was a narrative that was
turned against him. As I told Red, yeah, I sense
the same thing you did, and I can't explain it.
But I'll tell you what really troubles me. I don't
want to relive mission accomplished because this is a long
way from over, and that's kind of what it felt like.
(28:18):
And I'll let you listen and maybe you'll see why
I felt that way.
Speaker 7 (28:21):
Listen, and as we take decisive action to stop the
threat posed by the terrorist regime in Iran with Operation
Epic Fury.
Speaker 1 (28:34):
Okay, now I'm that you see how low that was.
I'm looking at it and it's a wide pan view.
There's only about a third of the people clapping. So
I do think it's all the above. I think they
have the sound lowered down. I don't think everybody was
just on board to cheer for anything, but keep listening.
Speaker 7 (28:58):
Is that a great name? Well, it's only good if
you win.
Speaker 3 (29:02):
You know, you can on need to. And we've won.
Let me say we've won. You know, you never like
to say too early you won.
Speaker 7 (29:09):
We won.
Speaker 3 (29:09):
We won the best in the first hour it was over.
Oh we won.
Speaker 7 (29:13):
But but they gave me a list of names that general, Sir,
you couldn't pick the name you'd like, Sir, I said,
the name of what the name of the attack on
a r answer, And they gave me like twenty names, and
I'm like falling asleep.
Speaker 1 (29:27):
I didn't like any of them.
Speaker 3 (29:28):
Then I see Epic Fury. I said, I like that name.
I like that name.
Speaker 1 (29:37):
That one I will tell you everybody seemed to clap
and it was still low, so I think they were
playing games and have been c SPAN's away. It could
have been just the way it happened, or they're trying
to downplay the enthusiasm. I will say this, and I'm
not being too hard on the president, as somebody emailed earlier.
Careful with comments like that we won in the first hour,
(29:58):
No A fourteen hundred. Your war is not over and
it wasn't over in the first hour, and it's not
over yet. Careful with statements like that, I get mission accomplished.
Speaker 3 (30:10):
Deja vu.
Speaker 1 (30:12):
Here's New Gingrich, who I think is the sound of
the day, and you're not going to like everything he says,
but don't read more into it.
Speaker 3 (30:18):
Than what he's saying.
Speaker 1 (30:21):
He's just saying there are three important things and they
are not done yet, and how long it takes to
get them done, and getting them done is the difference
between whether you are a victor or you are defeated.
And it was a little bit of both. It was
a little bit of the tone and the wording of
(30:43):
the President in Cincinnati, and what New Gingrich was saying.
I wanted you to hear them back to back, just
as I did. And my discernment is President needs to
get his messaging honed in. My other thought was, I
hope the President is thinking like Newt Gingridge.
Speaker 6 (31:03):
Well, I think they'll vacu him for a little while,
but they're not going to vacu him forever. I look,
there are three huge challenges that this administration has tackled.
The first is that, and they should have frankly moved
on this on day one. They have to keep the
Strait of Hormos open. Yes, I don't care what it costs.
(31:24):
If they can't keep it open, this war will in
fact be an American defeat before very long, because the
entire world, including the American people, will react to the
price of oil if the strait stays closed.
Speaker 1 (31:37):
Right a long So now doesn't mean it's it's right
that they will. And we've talked about when fuel was
a five dollars and fifty cents and more gallon for
green initiatives, nobody said a peep. Now it's up forty
five cents to eliminate terror, and suddenly it's not okay,
(31:58):
or a blank check for an endless amount of time
to Ukraine to fight.
Speaker 3 (32:01):
Russia, No big deal.
Speaker 1 (32:03):
Eleven billion dollars to end this threat of a nuclear Iran. Oh,
that's far too much. That's endless. That's the game of narrative,
and that's the political pressure. Now what Newt can't answer?
What I can't answer, I don't even think the president
can answer. I don't know how high gas can go
and for how long before it backfires. But there is
(32:25):
an expiration date, and he's right to point out. Now,
don't miss we have just a minute or so, but
don't miss the final two points.
Speaker 6 (32:31):
I lived through this with Ragan as you did in
the late eighties. Keeping this trade open is the number
one job because it buys you time for the two
other jobs. The second job is we're going to discover
that the Revolutionary Guard is tougher than we thought it was,
better connected, and have at least two hundred thousand people
who are true believers, and they have no future. I
(32:55):
mean that Trump can say i'mconditional strunner. These folks know
if they lose power, they have no future. The third
challenge is how do you arouse and organize the street
the eighty five million or so people in Iran who
do not want the current regime. But they're unarmed, they're unorganized,
(33:18):
and that.
Speaker 3 (33:19):
Has to be solved.
Speaker 6 (33:20):
These three problems are going to decide whether this was
a stroke of genius or frankly, a step into quicksand.
Speaker 1 (33:30):
I will say this on behalf of newt it's far
too early to be making statements that could be perceived
as claiming victory. And it's a timing issue. Keep the
straight of Hormuz up. You buy yourself a lot more
time for the good, the better, and the best. The
good is you kick the can and they don't have
(33:51):
enriched uranium at weapons level, advanced centrifuges and delivery systems
to be a threat to the region in the world
that much. I do think you've accomplished with the exception
of going in now and getting that uranium wherever it is.
But then you still have to finish crushing the revolutionary Guard,
(34:12):
which isn't yet, and you still have to get the
people to rise up and feel like they can't safely
regime change. You can always stop after you leave with
the uranium, or you could move on to crushing the
revolutionary Guard and maybe instigating the third ultimate goal, which
is Iran returns to what it once was and not
(34:36):
a dangerous radical Islamist republic.
Speaker 2 (34:39):
It's your Morning show with Michael del Jno.
Speaker 1 (34:43):
Another severe weather day for the Gulf Coast all the
way up through the mid Atlantic. Keep an eye out
for severe thunderstorms. US planning to release one hundred and
seventy two million bars of oil to offset the rise
and gas prices. Not sure that was necessary yet, and
the first six days of war costed over eleven billion dollars.
Would we get for money? Roy O'Neil, our national correspondence
here with the update Priority number one. We were just
(35:05):
talking about, get that straight of horror moves safe and
open any closer.
Speaker 3 (35:10):
Well, you know, in.
Speaker 9 (35:11):
The past two days, what we've seen six ships come
under attack, some owned by American companies, others flagged to
countries like Thailand, and of course it just creates spectacular
TV footage that quickly spreads even on the Internet as well,
and that's what sort of drove the spike in oil
prices overnight. Now they were up over one hundred bucks
a barrel, but have settled back down into the mid
(35:33):
to low nineties. But still it's pretty tense there as
we look at a Canal, an area that has about
twenty percent of the world's energy and about thirty percent
of the world's fertilizer passed through the strait.
Speaker 1 (35:46):
So we have the mines that are being placed, so
going after whoever's placing those, yeah, yeah, and then the
getting the mines out that are there, then the suggestion
of military escort. But ultimately we're right on those insurance companies.
Speaker 9 (35:58):
Insurance companies and the fact that you know, whatever struck
these ships in these cases, was it an RPG from
the coast, was it someone on a boat that fired
off something, or was it a drone that was perhaps
launched from one of those small speedboats. They're almost impossible
to defend against because they're.
Speaker 1 (36:14):
So low to the water. Rory has always great reporting.
Speaker 3 (36:17):
We'll talk again tomorrow.
Speaker 1 (36:18):
All right, one chance to live this Thursday, March twelfth,
twenty twenty six. Don't let all this intimidate you. Get
out there and love someone more than yourself, make a
difference in someone's life, and cherish your room. We'll see
you back here tomorrow morning to make sense of it
all on the next your morning show.
Speaker 2 (36:32):
We're all in this together. This is your morning show
