Speaker 2 (00:26):
Three starting your morning off right.
Speaker 3 (00:30):
A new way of talk, a new way of understanding,
because where in this together. This is your morning show
with Michael O'Dell.
Speaker 1 (00:41):
John on the air, coast to coast and everywhere you
could possibly be on your iheartradiof this is your morning show.
I am Michael del Journal, Honored to serve you. Jeffrey's
got control the sound. Red is keeping an eye on
the content. We're all healing in the aftermath of the
air strikes. President Trump says obliteration as an accurate term
(01:02):
to describe this weekend's air strikes on the Iranian nuclear facilities.
President Trump will meet with his national security team today
Later this afternoon following his weekend air strikes on the
Iranian facilities in Isfahan. Fodor four doh, I can speak
this morning. Okay, I got to make a confession right
up front. Obviously I had to stay up through the
(01:22):
trophy presentation. I'm hostly people, Yeah, just a little bit.
Speaker 3 (01:28):
And the TONS.
Speaker 1 (01:30):
Security Secretary of State, Marco Rubio says the US is
ready to meet with Iran following the bombing of three
Iranian nuclear sites. The State Department has also issued a
worldwide caution security alert and oil prices are expected to
jump following the air strikes in Oklahoma City. The Thunder
for the first time, and it's not a franchise. First
they won when they were in Seattle, but no, we
(01:52):
don't want to be we're at war. We can't do
too much on it. But they joined the Florida Panthers
and was it Isn't this awful? I don't remember who
on the Super Bowl? Was Eagles right or yeah? Yeah,
Philadelphia Eagles. So for the Big four Eagles, Panthers, Thunder
are our champions and that'll do it now until the
World Series later this fall. But the Thunder winning the
(02:15):
game one oh three ninety one. Sga, of course, was
your MVP of the season and MVP of the series.
Speaker 3 (02:23):
He threw in about.
Speaker 1 (02:24):
Twenty nine, Boy Williams at twenty and he struggled at
the beginning. Chad ends up with eighteen, Caruso popping a
few trays, Wallace with a couple of huge threes. Caruso
and Walls at ten each. It was, as it was
all year long, an extraordinary group of young men of
very high character and maturity winning a game. Now, a
(02:44):
lot of people are going to point to injury playing
a role in this, but this is Oklahoma City Thunder
basketball all year long, very deep with main contributors, and
they came through in the end. Okay, So what to
make of all of these air strikes. Obviously you have
to address the airstrikes themselves and the decision to make them,
(03:05):
and then the carrying out of them. And then the
next thing is to cover what next. And we're going
to surround ourselves with some of the best minds because
there's going to be military fallout, there's going to be
political fallout. You're going to hear the media try to
play with your emotions, especially I think on terror threat
(03:27):
and or Russian Chinese involvement the Matrix Games. That's just childish.
Nobody's really watching legacy mainstream media anymore. I'm not gonna
waste a lot of our time on that. But significant
questions are we at war? That was addressed by Marco
Ruby over the weekend. Well, we're at war with a
nuclear program. Oh, but you're not at war with Iran?
And can you be at war with Iran without being
(03:48):
at war with Russia in China? And what does this
do to the Ukrainian Russian war? These are a lot
of real questions that have to be answered. What is next?
Will it be more likely a terrorist attack, will it
be a base attack, will it be trying to damage
the world's oil supplies?
Speaker 3 (04:06):
What might the enemies?
Speaker 1 (04:08):
And when I say enemies, you could throw in all
of the above approach with the Houthis and Hamas, but
primarily we're probably most concerned with China and Russia and
what would Iran do next and where might they do it.
We're gonna have doctor Jim Robbins join us. He's with
the Institute of World Political Politics, He's an expert. He's
(04:30):
going to be joining us on what might be next politically,
what might be next, We're going to visit with Chris Walker.
How does President Trump's airstrikes impact GOP unity? Moreover, this
very unique Trump expanded coalition, will the impact be of that?
Speaker 4 (04:46):
Was this a.
Speaker 1 (04:48):
President of the United States taking out Iran's nuclear weapons
capability as a favor for Israel? Or is this another
example of America First and if everyone agrees that Iran
can't be allowed to have a nuke, why was this
area strikes so politically polarizing. We'll visit with David Snadi
(05:08):
will put it into historical and biblical perspective for you.
But first things first, what happened, Well, we found out
first from the President himself when he addressed the nation Listen.
Speaker 3 (05:24):
Thank you very much.
Speaker 5 (05:27):
A short time ago, the US military carried out massive
precision strikes on the three key nuclear facilities in the
Iranian regime for Doau, Natans, and Esfahan. Everybody heard those
names for years as they built this horribly destructive enterprise.
(05:50):
Our objective was the destruction of Iran's nuclear inrichment capacity
and a stop to the nuclear threat posed by the
world's one state sponsor of terror. Tonight, I can report
to the world that these strikes were a spectacular military success.
Speaker 1 (06:09):
I want to stop and talk first things first, because
you could have opinions about whether you would have done this.
I can have opinions about whether I would have done this.
The reality is it's done, and you're not president, and
I'm not president, and none of these people on television
are president. There's only one president who has to make
difficult decisions like this.
Speaker 3 (06:30):
John F.
Speaker 1 (06:31):
Kennedy once referred to it when he was asked, you know, so,
how different is it being president? And basically he said, well,
nothing gets to my desk but the unsolvable. If anything
could have been solved prior to getting to my desk,
it wouldn't be here. So that leaves every day making
the most difficult decisions, and only one person can make it,
(06:52):
the one you elected. And they're going to always be
second guests. But that's first and foremost. And the president
is telling you why he made the decision he made.
I want you to listen to see if you're hearing,
because he's just, you know, a puppet for an Israeli president.
(07:13):
Is the media will try to tell you a president
who's just trying to stay in office through war. Those
are all narratives is the leading sponsor of terror with
the materials necessary for a weapon of mass destruction, and
three facilities we've known about for a long time passed
a threshold of weaponry grade. And what I really want
(07:39):
you to laser listen for is do you really and
I think he did do it for both for the
security of israel An ally and for you, because I
can tell you the media would love to turn this
around and if any terrorist attack happens on American soil,
they're going to blame the president for it.
Speaker 3 (07:58):
Personally.
Speaker 1 (08:00):
Be looking down at from twenty twenty one to twenty
twenty four, fifteen hundred and four Iranian arrests that were
made at the border, seven hundred and twenty nine of
which were allowed under the country. And that's just during
the four years of Joe Biden's presidency. Knowing that nine
to eleven took just nineteen terrorists and there's seven hundred
(08:20):
and twenty nine from that period alone, and we don't
know where they're at. Foreign policy is an all of
the above equation, not any one decision. Now, let me
give you the reverse before we move on much further,
and don't take any of it too lightly either. This
(08:42):
is serious business, and wars rarely end where they begin,
and they rarely end with the same players. You do
not want to see this necessarily become a war. This
wasn't done to create or escalate into war. It was
done to remove a threat. And whatever happens next is
really into the hands of the person that the first action.
Speaker 3 (09:01):
Iran.
Speaker 1 (09:04):
So many interesting angles there we'll get to a little
bit later on, Like the Iatola has already announced his
next three successors, not that anybody's anxious to be it.
And whatever they do, they should be careful. This didn't
have to happen if they did negotiate it, and the
president has proven he's a person of his word. And
(09:25):
if they do further actions, well then you get to
the rest of the speech.
Speaker 5 (09:31):
Iran's key nuclear and Richmond facilities have been completely and
totally obliterated. Rand the bully of the Middle East, must
now make peace. If they do not, future attacks would
be far greater and a lot easier. For forty years,
Iran has been saying death to America, death to Israel.
(09:52):
They have been killing our people, blowing off their arms,
blowing off their legs with roadside bombs that was their
specialty loss. Over a thousand people and hundreds of thousands
throughout the Middle East and around the world have died
as a direct result of their hate. In particular, so
many were killed by their General Cassem Soleimani. I decided
(10:16):
a long time ago that I would not let this happen.
Speaker 3 (10:19):
It will not continue.
Speaker 5 (10:21):
I want to thank and congratulate Prime Minister PB.
Speaker 3 (10:25):
Netanyahu.
Speaker 5 (10:26):
We worked as a team like perhaps no team has
ever worked before, and we've gone a long way to
erasing this horrible threat to Israel. I want to thank
the Israeli military for the wonderful job they've done. And
most importantly, I want to congratulate the great American patriots
who flew those magnificent machines tonight, and all of the
(10:48):
United States military on an operation the likes of which
the world has not seen in many, many decades.
Speaker 1 (10:54):
Hope that is Operation Midnight Hammer. Remember what we first thought,
couple of bunker bumper bunker busters, maybe at four doh
seven B two bombers in all, and that's not counting
the decoys leaving from Missouri, refueling throughout decoys, zero leaks.
(11:18):
These are all remarkable differences from the exit from Afghanistan
with people hanging on planes as they're taking off. We
thought two bunker busters. How about fourteen GBU fifty sevens,
(11:39):
thirty thousand found munitions. One hundred and twenty five aircraft
participated in this mission, seventy five precision guided missiles keeping
it a secret, The detail and the distance of the mission,
(12:04):
the amount of personnel involved. Yeah, I'd say remarkable and
probably the thing that would just make you speechless more
than anything about a single shot fired at them. That's
why the President's thinking, Israel, we took care of the
(12:25):
houthis they took care of Hamas. We don't have this
big of an issue with their proxies now in retaliation.
But the strategic care strikes of Israel and getting command
of the air allowed this final leg of the mission.
And you can hear from the President, you can hear
from Marko Rubio, certainly Vice President Vance.
Speaker 3 (12:46):
It's time now to talk.
Speaker 1 (12:49):
And no matter what anybody on radio or television tells you,
this happened because of decades of nobody addressing it, which
I am going to address when we come back with
some sound and the actions of a run and whatever
happens next will be the actions of a run got
(13:12):
to play the closing, though too strong.
Speaker 5 (13:15):
Hopefully we will no longer need their services and this capacity.
Speaker 3 (13:19):
I hope that's so.
Speaker 5 (13:21):
I also want to congratulate the Chairman of the Joint
Chiefs of Staff, General Dan Raisin Kane, spectacular general, and
all of the brilliant military minds involved in this attack.
With all of that being said, this cannot continue. There
will be either peace or there will be tragedy for
a Ran far greater than we have witnessed over the
(13:43):
last eight days. Remember, there are many targets left.
Speaker 3 (13:48):
Tonight's was the.
Speaker 5 (13:50):
Most difficult of them all by far, and perhaps the
most lethal. But if peace does not come quickly, we
will go after those other targets with preceed speed and skill.
Most of them can be taken out in a matter
of minutes. There's no military in the world that could
have done what we did tonight, not even close. There
(14:12):
has never been a military that could do what took
place just a little while ago. Tomorrow, General Kin, Secretary
of Defense Pete Hegseth, we'll have a press conference at
eight am at the Pentagon, and I want to just
thank everybody and in particular God.
Speaker 3 (14:31):
I want to just say, we.
Speaker 5 (14:33):
Love you God, and we love our great military.
Speaker 3 (14:35):
Protect them.
Speaker 5 (14:36):
God bless the Middle East, God bless Israel, and God
bless America.
Speaker 1 (14:42):
Thank you very much, very very interesting and into a
very very substantive announcement. Then the next morning we got
the briefing from the Pentagon. I'll play some of that
for you, some of the reaction. There's a lot of
people trying to play politics. But the answer is the
actions of Iran caused this, and the actions of a
I will cause whatever is next and doing nothing, well,
(15:05):
that's what led to this.
Speaker 6 (15:07):
It's Your Morning Show with Michael del Chorno.
Speaker 1 (15:11):
The US Ambassador to the UN on Sunday, defended Saturday's
air strikes in Iran.
Speaker 3 (15:16):
Mark Mayfield has details at the Security Council meeting Dorothy Camille.
Speaker 4 (15:20):
She said, for forty years, the Iranian government has called
for death to America and death to Israel, impose a
constant menace to the peace and security of its neighbors,
the United States and the entire world.
Speaker 7 (15:30):
The time finally came for the United States to act decisively.
Speaker 4 (15:35):
Shang also warned Iran against retaliation. She said any Iranian
attack direct or indirect against Americans or American bases will
be met with devastating retaliation. The ambassador also urged the
UN to call for Iran to terminate to strive for
nuclear weapons.
Speaker 3 (15:49):
I'm Mark Mayfield.
Speaker 1 (15:50):
The Pentagon says the bombing of Iran's nuclear sites, nicknamed
Operation Midnight Hammer, was the largest B two bomber strike
in US history.
Speaker 8 (15:58):
Iran's nuclear ambitions have been obliterated.
Speaker 9 (16:01):
Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth calls President Trump's decision to hit
the three Armanian nuclear facilities, including the four to five
four DOH facility, bold and brilliant. Chairman of the Joint
Chiefs of Staff, General Dan Kaine said the destruction to
the facilities was substantial.
Speaker 7 (16:16):
Final battle damage will take some time, but initial battle
damage assessments indicate that all three sites sustained extremely severe
damage and destruction.
Speaker 9 (16:26):
Kine says the US maintained an element of surprise and
that not one of Iran's fighter jets took to the air.
He also warned Iran not to retaliate against the US forces.
Speaker 3 (16:36):
I'm Scott Carr in Washington.
Speaker 10 (16:40):
I'm Joe Big and Tampa, and my morning show is
your Morning Show with Michael del Jorno.
Speaker 1 (16:50):
Hi, It's Michael. Your morning show can be heard on
great radio stations across the country like News Talk ninety
two point one and six hundred WREC and Memphis, Tennessee
teen hundred, The Patriot in Tulsa, our top six fifty
KSTE in Sacramento, California.
Speaker 3 (17:05):
We invite you to listen.
Speaker 1 (17:06):
Live while you're getting ready in the morning and to
take us along for the drive to work. But as
we always say, better late than ever. Thanks for joining
us for the podcast. Now, what is America at war?
What's next? We're going to talk to doctor Jim Robbins,
who is with the Institute of World Politics. Tomorrow we'll
have Lieutenant Colonel James Carafano. Also, what will be the
(17:27):
well political ramifications, what becomes of the party unity for Republicans,
some of which have differed on the calling for this
air strike and this unique Trump expanded coalition. We'll have
more on that with Chris Walker. That's all coming up
in the third hour. First things first, and I don't
know how to do this in one segment.
Speaker 3 (17:45):
This could this could go out all morning long. We
did on the consequence, this.
Speaker 6 (17:52):
Is the best way to get back on your phatis,
to get up.
Speaker 11 (17:55):
Off your app I've been living rent free in that
guy's head for years.
Speaker 3 (17:57):
And that's just a ball.
Speaker 1 (17:58):
Do you call that chick and they're just blowing off?
Speaker 3 (18:01):
Sto five six in the morning.
Speaker 1 (18:03):
Time for your Sounds of the day, we start with
bb net yao whose response after the US military air strake.
Speaker 2 (18:09):
Congratulations, President Trump. Your bold decision to target Iran's nuclear
facilities with the awesome and righteous might of the United
States will change history. In Operation Rising Line, Israel has
done truly amazing things, but in tonight's action against Iran's
nuclear facilities, America has been truly unsurpassed. It is done
(18:34):
what no other country on Earth could do. History will
record that President Trump acted to deny the world's most
dangerous regime the world's most dangerous weapons. His leadership today
has created a pivot of history that can help lead
the Middle East and beyond to a future of prosperity
(18:56):
and peace.
Speaker 3 (18:58):
There is a big.
Speaker 1 (18:59):
Question Americans going to have to answer, and you you're
gonna have to answer it for yourself, because at this show,
we don't tell you how to think.
Speaker 3 (19:05):
We just give you a lot to think.
Speaker 1 (19:06):
About did Donald Trump, president of the United States, make
this decision to help Israel or protect America. Now you're
gonna hear consistently from bb net Yeah who and from
Donald Trump both, and I think both of the answer.
Speaker 3 (19:27):
Why. I loved what bb said.
Speaker 1 (19:30):
This is one of the most dangerous regimes with the
materials to carry out the most dangerous weapons. That's a
no brainer. I got news for you. I do believe
the bb netneah who is grateful to have a friend
like the United States, and in particular the current president
(19:53):
and the military might but it goes beyond that. He
didn't come out and say it. I kind of wish
he would have. A lot of presidents have said we
have your back Israel. A lot of presidents, even those
who wanted to be president, have said Iran can never
(20:16):
be allowed to have a weapon of mass destruction. But
only President Trump did it. You know, one of the
most interesting questions we could ask today is if everyone
agrees Iran could never and should never be allowed to
have a nuclear weapon, why is this air strike so
(20:38):
politically polarizing?
Speaker 3 (20:43):
Not just was it necessary to stand by.
Speaker 1 (20:45):
Israel, was it necessary to ensure the security of the
American people.
Speaker 3 (20:53):
I'll give you an example.
Speaker 1 (20:58):
This is Hillary in two thousand and eight, probably the
same Hillary, like her husband second guessing the president now,
but this was Hillary in two thousand and eight.
Speaker 11 (21:14):
Listen the Iranians to know that if I'm the president,
we will attack Iran. Whatever stage of development they might
be in their nuclear weapons program in the next ten years,
during which they might foolishly consider launching an attack on Israel,
we would be able to totally obliterate.
Speaker 1 (21:31):
Them, which is exactly what Donald Trump did. So what's
the problem. Well, that's Hillary. She's establishment Republican, all right,
establishment Democrat. She was one of the last of the
sane ones. Right, she's pre Obama. Well, here's Barack.
Speaker 10 (21:47):
Obama cannot afford to have a nuclear arms race in
the most volatile region of the world. Aronza state sponsor
of terrorism, and for them to be able to provide
nuclear technology to nonstate that's unacceptable. And they have said
that they want to see Israel wiped off the map.
Speaker 1 (22:06):
Yeah, they've also said, first come Saturday, then comes Sunday.
First they want Israel and all the Jews dead. Then
they want America destroyed and all the Christians dead. Then
the hit knee mom finally appears for Islamic world role,
followed by judgment from Allah. I mean, at some point,
(22:30):
isn't that really the most frustrating thing, that it's impossible
to just be adults and see a president in a
very difficult situation, and he's in that situation because of
everything that has been done and not been done prior
(22:51):
to him being in that position. So I'm going to
refuse to tell you how to think, but I will
say that those one hundred and twenty five aircraft, those
seven B two bombers, those fourteen not two bunker busters,
those seventy five precision guided missiles, they all went where
(23:14):
they went because of the actions of Iran, and whatever
happens next will be based on the actions of Iran.
But how this becomes a political football? Watch Bernie Sanders response.
This is Bernie Sanders responding like he just got news
the president has been killed. He's in the middle of
(23:35):
a goofball speech and somebody hands him a piece of paper.
Speaker 6 (23:38):
Listen, this is a statement statement from Donald Trump.
Speaker 3 (23:43):
Quote.
Speaker 6 (23:44):
We have completed all a very successful attack on the
three nucleocytes in ineran et cetera.
Speaker 1 (23:52):
By the way, he's standing before a podium that says
fight oligarchy. He can see the enemy of oligarchy, but
he can't see the enemy of Iran or an authoritarian
theocratic centuries old threat.
Speaker 3 (24:15):
Listen.
Speaker 1 (24:21):
I mean, if you're gonna boo that, what are you cheering?
You like the thought of Iran having weapons of mass destruction?
You don't think they'll use them?
Speaker 12 (24:29):
This must people Lincoln was talking about, and he said
a kingdom divided against itself on that stand, which is
exactly what the airstrike is intended to keep war from happening.
Speaker 1 (24:53):
I agree, and I want to tell you something.
Speaker 3 (24:58):
Not only is this news.
Speaker 6 (25:01):
That I've just heard, the second alarming that all of
you have just heard, but it is so grossly unconstitutional.
All of you know that the only entity they can
take this country to war is the US Congress.
Speaker 3 (25:20):
The president does.
Speaker 1 (25:21):
Not have so right.
Speaker 3 (25:23):
Of course, we haven't declared war whatsoever.
Speaker 1 (25:26):
So we have military precision, a tough decision made by
the president, nonsensical political fodder at home. I couldn't help
but expect more, But of course I didn't get it.
Dadie Vance. You're going to see in a minute how
his numbers are on the rise its performances like this.
Speaker 13 (25:48):
Well, first of all, I think it's a bizarre response,
but I also don't know that that guy speaks for
President Putin or for the Russian government. One of the
things that we've picked up john in our conversations with
the Russians over the last few months, despite our many disagreements,
of course, with the State of Russia, they've been very
consistent that they don't want to Ran to get a
nuclear weapon. And this is what I think many commentators
underappreciate about what the President did last night.
Speaker 3 (26:11):
Iran having a nuclear weapon.
Speaker 13 (26:13):
Nuclear proliferation in the Middle East is a disaster.
Speaker 3 (26:15):
For pretty much everybody.
Speaker 13 (26:17):
It's one of the few issues where Russia, China, and
the United States have brought agreement is that we don't
want to see a nuclear arms race in the Middle East.
So what the President did was very important. I'll let
President Putin speak to what the official Russian position on
this is, but I feel very confident that both for Russia,
for China, and most importantly of course for US, we
(26:38):
don't want to Ran to have a nuclear weapon. And
I think that goal is going to continue to animate
American policy for the next few years.
Speaker 1 (26:45):
That was him responding to the former Russian president. Medvedev
made some comments about Ronald just get its nuclear program back.
We'll make sure of it. We'll send them the warheads immediately.
Of course, it wasn't an official response from Russian and
it's just rhetoric. This is the kind of confrontation. This
is the kind of disrespect you get from a media
(27:06):
that doesn't know it's dead talking to leaders making serious
decisions in very dangerous times. And one has substance and
the other doesen't. And that's pretty obvious for anybody to watches. Listen,
are you.
Speaker 14 (27:22):
Saying there that the United States did not see intelligence
that the Supreme Leader had uplex weatonization overwhelming Mission hundreds.
Speaker 3 (27:32):
That's irrelevant.
Speaker 15 (27:33):
I think that question being asked on the media, that's
an irrelevant.
Speaker 14 (27:35):
Question in US intelligence assessment. You know, yes, it was
the political.
Speaker 15 (27:42):
I know that better than you know that, and I
know that that's not the case.
Speaker 1 (27:44):
But whether the order was given, and the hubris of
these weekend talking heads and suits and the level of disrespect,
not to mention, ignorance, this is face the nation. This
has faced the bias.
Speaker 15 (28:03):
But listen, the people who say that It doesn't matter
if the order was given. They have everything they need
to build nuclear weapons. Why would you bury Why would
you bury things in a mountain three hundred feet under
the ground. Why would you bury six Why do they
have sixty percent in rich uranium? You don't need sixty
percent and rich urrea. The only countries in the world
that have uranium at sixty percent.
Speaker 3 (28:21):
Are countries that have nuclear weapons, because it can quickly
make it ninety.
Speaker 15 (28:25):
They have all the elements they have. Why why do
they have a space program? Is Aron going to go
to the moon? No, they're trying to build an ICBM.
Speaker 3 (28:31):
But that's a question.
Speaker 14 (28:32):
That's a question, But that's a question of intent. And
you know in the intelligence assessment that it was that
Iran wanted to be a threshold. See you use those
I'm talking about what the intelligence says its March assessment.
And that's why I was asking you if you know
something more from it.
Speaker 15 (28:46):
That's also an inaccurate representation of it. That's inaccurate representation
of it. That's not how intelligence is read, that's not
how intelligence is used. Here's what the whole world knows.
Forget about intelligence. What the IAEA knows. They are enriching uranium,
Well beyond anything you need.
Speaker 1 (29:01):
For a civil new notice all the yeses, yes, yes, yes, yes,
until you do something. Now we have to apply the matrix.
What was you know? You can hear Bernie fan the
flames of ignorance. But what would be his solution? What
(29:22):
would have been Kammalist solution? Would the border even be secured?
Would we even be talking about of the fifteen hundred
and four Iranian arrests at the border, how seven hundred
and twenty nine were released into the United States or
would they be still entering? And no bombing haven't taken place.
(29:46):
But the hubris of discussing what they don't know because
they don't get intelligence briefings or asking questions that can't
be answer. But there's enough on the surface and obvious
for a person of purpose and resolve to make a decision.
(30:09):
Why is the first instinct to second guess it or
to create a fight at home rather than a united home? Well,
you know how I feel about Scott Jennings. He gets
hit the matrix.
Speaker 14 (30:21):
What will be critical in the weeks to come is
Congress must see the underlying intelligence about how they were
in direct threat and how the US needed to respond
without congressional approval.
Speaker 3 (30:31):
But as of right now, I have not.
Speaker 8 (30:32):
Seen that you're arguing that after forty six years of
the Iranian regime killing Americans, threatening Americans, saying over and
over and over again, death to America, that maybe they
were just didn't mean it, that they're a fiery but
mostly peaceful Iranian butchers.
Speaker 3 (30:47):
I don't what I stand you, and I have heard
the last well.
Speaker 1 (30:53):
You, so now we just turn this into a worthless
fight at home on television nobody's watching. I'm going to
conclude with this because I think at some point take
a deep breath. Iran has very clear motives and intentions.
(31:15):
They had very advanced centrifuges, enrichment beyond energy and weapons
grade and all there is to wars means mode of
an opportunity. Nobody wanted to start a war with them.
Nobody wanted to finish a war for Israel. America took
the leadership to end the most obvious threat on planet Earth.
(31:38):
And if you can't find pride in anything else this morning,
how about the precision of men and women born all
around us, growing up in neighborhoods all around us, that
go on with our resources and the right training and
the right equipment to carry out when no one else
(31:59):
on Earth can. That was the briefing Saturday morning from
the Joint CHEESEA staff.
Speaker 7 (32:04):
At night Friday into Saturday morning, a large B two
strike package comprised of bomber's launched from the continental United
States as part of the plan to maintain tactical surprise.
Part of the package proceeded to the west and into
the Pacific as a decoy. At approximately six forty pm
Eastern Standard time two ten am a Ran time, the
(32:28):
lead B two dropped two GBU fifty seven massive ordnance
penetrator weapons on the first of several aim points at
four doh as the President stated last night. The remaining
bombers then hit their targets as well, with a total
of fourteen mops dropped against two nuclear target areas. All
(32:51):
three Iranian nuclear infrastructure targets were struck between.
Speaker 1 (32:55):
Six forty pm and seven.
Speaker 7 (32:57):
H five pm Eastern time again, and that's about two
ten in the morning local time in Iran, with the
Tomahawk missiles being the last to strike at Espahan. To
ensure we retain the element of surprise throughout the operation,
following weapons release, the Midnight hammer Strike package exited Iranian
(33:19):
airspace and the package began its return home. We are
unaware of any shots fired at the package on the
way out.
Speaker 1 (33:29):
I will say this has been brilliantly played. You can
disagree whether it should have been played, but you can't
disagree how it was played. The Hoothies are wreaking havoc.
Hamas initiated an invasion and wreaking haavage. All proxies have
a run. Russia took care of Hamas, the US took
(33:51):
care of the Houthies, crippling their proxy surrogate options. These
strikes from Israel that got air superiority to the point
where this mission was carried out without a single shot
being fired at it. It's all just brilliant. I mean
(34:13):
the finals was Donald Trump saying I'll take two weeks
when he had probably already given the order, and we
said that on Friday, to the precision of leaving from
Missouri and refueling and decoys and zero leaks. I love
these members from Congress. We should have been brief We
should have been briefed. Yeah, they would have kept the secrecy.
(34:35):
They'd have jeopardized the lives of everybody on this mission
and the result. We were thinking two bucker busters. How
about fourteen seventy five percision precision guided missiles Tomahawks. I
can play you sounds all day long of people saying
we got to remove the set. Well, it's been removed
(34:57):
and with great precision. So what's the problem, all right?
Speaker 2 (35:00):
Everybody?
Speaker 3 (35:01):
Luck her low. I'm not sure.
Speaker 8 (35:02):
I don't think we should be taking the advice from
a group of people who can't define what a woman is.
Speaker 1 (35:08):
That was just complete the noise of the matrix. And
that's your Sounds of the day for this Monday, June
the twenty third, twenty twenty five.
Speaker 3 (35:15):
Your top five stories are next. We're all in this together.
This is your Morning Show with Michael Ndheld Joano
Hey gang, it's me Michael. You can listen to your
morning show live. Make us a part of your morning
routine or your drive to work companion on great stations
like Talk Radio ninety eight point three and fifteen ten
WLAC in Nashville, Tupelos News and Talk one oh one
point one and ten sixty WKMQ, and how about Talk
six fifty KSTE and Sacramento, California. Love to have you
(00:21):
listen live, but are grateful you're here now for the
podcast Enjoy well two.
Speaker 2 (00:26):
Three starting your morning off right.
Speaker 3 (00:30):
A new way of talk, a new way of understanding,
because where in this together. This is your morning show
with Michael O'Dell.
Speaker 1 (00:41):
John on the air, coast to coast and everywhere you
could possibly be on your iheartradiof this is your morning show.
I am Michael del Journal, Honored to serve you. Jeffrey's
got control the sound. Red is keeping an eye on
the content. We're all healing in the aftermath of the
air strikes. President Trump says obliteration as an accurate term
(01:02):
to describe this weekend's air strikes on the Iranian nuclear facilities.
President Trump will meet with his national security team today
Later this afternoon following his weekend air strikes on the
Iranian facilities in Isfahan. Fodor four doh, I can speak
this morning. Okay, I got to make a confession right
up front. Obviously I had to stay up through the
(01:22):
trophy presentation. I'm hostly people, Yeah, just a little bit.
Speaker 3 (01:28):
And the TONS.
Speaker 1 (01:30):
Security Secretary of State, Marco Rubio says the US is
ready to meet with Iran following the bombing of three
Iranian nuclear sites. The State Department has also issued a
worldwide caution security alert and oil prices are expected to
jump following the air strikes in Oklahoma City. The Thunder
for the first time, and it's not a franchise. First
they won when they were in Seattle, but no, we
(01:52):
don't want to be we're at war. We can't do
too much on it. But they joined the Florida Panthers
and was it Isn't this awful? I don't remember who
on the Super Bowl? Was Eagles right or yeah? Yeah,
Philadelphia Eagles. So for the Big four Eagles, Panthers, Thunder
are our champions and that'll do it now until the
World Series later this fall. But the Thunder winning the
(02:15):
game one oh three ninety one. Sga, of course, was
your MVP of the season and MVP of the series.
Speaker 3 (02:23):
He threw in about.
Speaker 1 (02:24):
Twenty nine, Boy Williams at twenty and he struggled at
the beginning. Chad ends up with eighteen, Caruso popping a
few trays, Wallace with a couple of huge threes. Caruso
and Walls at ten each. It was, as it was
all year long, an extraordinary group of young men of
very high character and maturity winning a game. Now, a
(02:44):
lot of people are going to point to injury playing
a role in this, but this is Oklahoma City Thunder
basketball all year long, very deep with main contributors, and
they came through in the end. Okay, So what to
make of all of these air strikes. Obviously you have
to address the airstrikes themselves and the decision to make them,
(03:05):
and then the carrying out of them. And then the
next thing is to cover what next. And we're going
to surround ourselves with some of the best minds because
there's going to be military fallout, there's going to be
political fallout. You're going to hear the media try to
play with your emotions, especially I think on terror threat
(03:27):
and or Russian Chinese involvement the Matrix Games. That's just childish.
Nobody's really watching legacy mainstream media anymore. I'm not gonna
waste a lot of our time on that. But significant
questions are we at war? That was addressed by Marco
Ruby over the weekend. Well, we're at war with a
nuclear program. Oh, but you're not at war with Iran?
And can you be at war with Iran without being
(03:48):
at war with Russia in China? And what does this
do to the Ukrainian Russian war? These are a lot
of real questions that have to be answered. What is next?
Will it be more likely a terrorist attack, will it
be a base attack, will it be trying to damage
the world's oil supplies?
Speaker 3 (04:06):
What might the enemies?
Speaker 1 (04:08):
And when I say enemies, you could throw in all
of the above approach with the Houthis and Hamas, but
primarily we're probably most concerned with China and Russia and
what would Iran do next and where might they do it.
We're gonna have doctor Jim Robbins join us. He's with
the Institute of World Political Politics, He's an expert. He's
(04:30):
going to be joining us on what might be next politically,
what might be next, We're going to visit with Chris Walker.
How does President Trump's airstrikes impact GOP unity? Moreover, this
very unique Trump expanded coalition, will the impact be of that?
Speaker 4 (04:46):
Was this a.
Speaker 1 (04:48):
President of the United States taking out Iran's nuclear weapons
capability as a favor for Israel? Or is this another
example of America First and if everyone agrees that Iran
can't be allowed to have a nuke, why was this
area strikes so politically polarizing. We'll visit with David Snadi
(05:08):
will put it into historical and biblical perspective for you.
But first things first, what happened, Well, we found out
first from the President himself when he addressed the nation Listen.
Speaker 3 (05:24):
Thank you very much.
Speaker 5 (05:27):
A short time ago, the US military carried out massive
precision strikes on the three key nuclear facilities in the
Iranian regime for Doau, Natans, and Esfahan. Everybody heard those
names for years as they built this horribly destructive enterprise.
(05:50):
Our objective was the destruction of Iran's nuclear inrichment capacity
and a stop to the nuclear threat posed by the
world's one state sponsor of terror. Tonight, I can report
to the world that these strikes were a spectacular military success.
Speaker 1 (06:09):
I want to stop and talk first things first, because
you could have opinions about whether you would have done this.
I can have opinions about whether I would have done this.
The reality is it's done, and you're not president, and
I'm not president, and none of these people on television
are president. There's only one president who has to make
difficult decisions like this.
Speaker 3 (06:30):
John F.
Speaker 1 (06:31):
Kennedy once referred to it when he was asked, you know, so,
how different is it being president? And basically he said, well,
nothing gets to my desk but the unsolvable. If anything
could have been solved prior to getting to my desk,
it wouldn't be here. So that leaves every day making
the most difficult decisions, and only one person can make it,
(06:52):
the one you elected. And they're going to always be
second guests. But that's first and foremost. And the president
is telling you why he made the decision he made.
I want you to listen to see if you're hearing,
because he's just, you know, a puppet for an Israeli president.
(07:13):
Is the media will try to tell you a president
who's just trying to stay in office through war. Those
are all narratives is the leading sponsor of terror with
the materials necessary for a weapon of mass destruction, and
three facilities we've known about for a long time passed
a threshold of weaponry grade. And what I really want
(07:39):
you to laser listen for is do you really and
I think he did do it for both for the
security of israel An ally and for you, because I
can tell you the media would love to turn this
around and if any terrorist attack happens on American soil,
they're going to blame the president for it.
Speaker 3 (07:58):
Personally.
Speaker 1 (08:00):
Be looking down at from twenty twenty one to twenty
twenty four, fifteen hundred and four Iranian arrests that were
made at the border, seven hundred and twenty nine of
which were allowed under the country. And that's just during
the four years of Joe Biden's presidency. Knowing that nine
to eleven took just nineteen terrorists and there's seven hundred
(08:20):
and twenty nine from that period alone, and we don't
know where they're at. Foreign policy is an all of
the above equation, not any one decision. Now, let me
give you the reverse before we move on much further,
and don't take any of it too lightly either. This
(08:42):
is serious business, and wars rarely end where they begin,
and they rarely end with the same players. You do
not want to see this necessarily become a war. This
wasn't done to create or escalate into war. It was
done to remove a threat. And whatever happens next is
really into the hands of the person that the first action.
Speaker 3 (09:01):
Iran.
Speaker 1 (09:04):
So many interesting angles there we'll get to a little
bit later on, Like the Iatola has already announced his
next three successors, not that anybody's anxious to be it.
And whatever they do, they should be careful. This didn't
have to happen if they did negotiate it, and the
president has proven he's a person of his word. And
(09:25):
if they do further actions, well then you get to
the rest of the speech.
Speaker 5 (09:31):
Iran's key nuclear and Richmond facilities have been completely and
totally obliterated. Rand the bully of the Middle East, must
now make peace. If they do not, future attacks would
be far greater and a lot easier. For forty years,
Iran has been saying death to America, death to Israel.
(09:52):
They have been killing our people, blowing off their arms,
blowing off their legs with roadside bombs that was their
specialty loss. Over a thousand people and hundreds of thousands
throughout the Middle East and around the world have died
as a direct result of their hate. In particular, so
many were killed by their General Cassem Soleimani. I decided
(10:16):
a long time ago that I would not let this happen.
Speaker 3 (10:19):
It will not continue.
Speaker 5 (10:21):
I want to thank and congratulate Prime Minister PB.
Speaker 3 (10:25):
Netanyahu.
Speaker 5 (10:26):
We worked as a team like perhaps no team has
ever worked before, and we've gone a long way to
erasing this horrible threat to Israel. I want to thank
the Israeli military for the wonderful job they've done. And
most importantly, I want to congratulate the great American patriots
who flew those magnificent machines tonight, and all of the
(10:48):
United States military on an operation the likes of which
the world has not seen in many, many decades.
Speaker 1 (10:54):
Hope that is Operation Midnight Hammer. Remember what we first thought,
couple of bunker bumper bunker busters, maybe at four doh
seven B two bombers in all, and that's not counting
the decoys leaving from Missouri, refueling throughout decoys, zero leaks.
(11:18):
These are all remarkable differences from the exit from Afghanistan
with people hanging on planes as they're taking off. We
thought two bunker busters. How about fourteen GBU fifty sevens,
(11:39):
thirty thousand found munitions. One hundred and twenty five aircraft
participated in this mission, seventy five precision guided missiles keeping
it a secret, The detail and the distance of the mission,
(12:04):
the amount of personnel involved. Yeah, I'd say remarkable and
probably the thing that would just make you speechless more
than anything about a single shot fired at them. That's
why the President's thinking, Israel, we took care of the
(12:25):
houthis they took care of Hamas. We don't have this
big of an issue with their proxies now in retaliation.
But the strategic care strikes of Israel and getting command
of the air allowed this final leg of the mission.
And you can hear from the President, you can hear
from Marko Rubio, certainly Vice President Vance.
Speaker 3 (12:46):
It's time now to talk.
Speaker 1 (12:49):
And no matter what anybody on radio or television tells you,
this happened because of decades of nobody addressing it, which
I am going to address when we come back with
some sound and the actions of a run and whatever
happens next will be the actions of a run got
(13:12):
to play the closing, though too strong.
Speaker 5 (13:15):
Hopefully we will no longer need their services and this capacity.
Speaker 3 (13:19):
I hope that's so.
Speaker 5 (13:21):
I also want to congratulate the Chairman of the Joint
Chiefs of Staff, General Dan Raisin Kane, spectacular general, and
all of the brilliant military minds involved in this attack.
With all of that being said, this cannot continue. There
will be either peace or there will be tragedy for
a Ran far greater than we have witnessed over the
(13:43):
last eight days. Remember, there are many targets left.
Speaker 3 (13:48):
Tonight's was the.
Speaker 5 (13:50):
Most difficult of them all by far, and perhaps the
most lethal. But if peace does not come quickly, we
will go after those other targets with preceed speed and skill.
Most of them can be taken out in a matter
of minutes. There's no military in the world that could
have done what we did tonight, not even close. There
(14:12):
has never been a military that could do what took
place just a little while ago. Tomorrow, General Kin, Secretary
of Defense Pete Hegseth, we'll have a press conference at
eight am at the Pentagon, and I want to just
thank everybody and in particular God.
Speaker 3 (14:31):
I want to just say, we.
Speaker 5 (14:33):
Love you God, and we love our great military.
Speaker 3 (14:35):
Protect them.
Speaker 5 (14:36):
God bless the Middle East, God bless Israel, and God
bless America.
Speaker 1 (14:42):
Thank you very much, very very interesting and into a
very very substantive announcement. Then the next morning we got
the briefing from the Pentagon. I'll play some of that
for you, some of the reaction. There's a lot of
people trying to play politics. But the answer is the
actions of Iran caused this, and the actions of a
I will cause whatever is next and doing nothing, well,
(15:05):
that's what led to this.
Speaker 6 (15:07):
It's Your Morning Show with Michael del Chorno.
Speaker 1 (15:11):
The US Ambassador to the UN on Sunday, defended Saturday's
air strikes in Iran.
Speaker 3 (15:16):
Mark Mayfield has details at the Security Council meeting Dorothy Camille.
Speaker 4 (15:20):
She said, for forty years, the Iranian government has called
for death to America and death to Israel, impose a
constant menace to the peace and security of its neighbors,
the United States and the entire world.
Speaker 7 (15:30):
The time finally came for the United States to act decisively.
Speaker 4 (15:35):
Shang also warned Iran against retaliation. She said any Iranian
attack direct or indirect against Americans or American bases will
be met with devastating retaliation. The ambassador also urged the
UN to call for Iran to terminate to strive for
nuclear weapons.
Speaker 3 (15:49):
I'm Mark Mayfield.
Speaker 1 (15:50):
The Pentagon says the bombing of Iran's nuclear sites, nicknamed
Operation Midnight Hammer, was the largest B two bomber strike
in US history.
Speaker 8 (15:58):
Iran's nuclear ambitions have been obliterated.
Speaker 9 (16:01):
Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth calls President Trump's decision to hit
the three Armanian nuclear facilities, including the four to five
four DOH facility, bold and brilliant. Chairman of the Joint
Chiefs of Staff, General Dan Kaine said the destruction to
the facilities was substantial.
Speaker 7 (16:16):
Final battle damage will take some time, but initial battle
damage assessments indicate that all three sites sustained extremely severe
damage and destruction.
Speaker 9 (16:26):
Kine says the US maintained an element of surprise and
that not one of Iran's fighter jets took to the air.
He also warned Iran not to retaliate against the US forces.
Speaker 3 (16:36):
I'm Scott Carr in Washington.
Speaker 10 (16:40):
I'm Joe Big and Tampa, and my morning show is
your Morning Show with Michael del Jorno.
Speaker 1 (16:50):
Hi, It's Michael. Your morning show can be heard on
great radio stations across the country like News Talk ninety
two point one and six hundred WREC and Memphis, Tennessee
teen hundred, The Patriot in Tulsa, our top six fifty
KSTE in Sacramento, California.
Speaker 3 (17:05):
We invite you to listen.
Speaker 1 (17:06):
Live while you're getting ready in the morning and to
take us along for the drive to work. But as
we always say, better late than ever. Thanks for joining
us for the podcast. Now, what is America at war?
What's next? We're going to talk to doctor Jim Robbins,
who is with the Institute of World Politics. Tomorrow we'll
have Lieutenant Colonel James Carafano. Also, what will be the
(17:27):
well political ramifications, what becomes of the party unity for Republicans,
some of which have differed on the calling for this
air strike and this unique Trump expanded coalition. We'll have
more on that with Chris Walker. That's all coming up
in the third hour. First things first, and I don't
know how to do this in one segment.
Speaker 3 (17:45):
This could this could go out all morning long. We
did on the consequence, this.
Speaker 6 (17:52):
Is the best way to get back on your phatis,
to get up.
Speaker 11 (17:55):
Off your app I've been living rent free in that
guy's head for years.
Speaker 3 (17:57):
And that's just a ball.
Speaker 1 (17:58):
Do you call that chick and they're just blowing off?
Speaker 3 (18:01):
Sto five six in the morning.
Speaker 1 (18:03):
Time for your Sounds of the day, we start with
bb net yao whose response after the US military air strake.
Speaker 2 (18:09):
Congratulations, President Trump. Your bold decision to target Iran's nuclear
facilities with the awesome and righteous might of the United
States will change history. In Operation Rising Line, Israel has
done truly amazing things, but in tonight's action against Iran's
nuclear facilities, America has been truly unsurpassed. It is done
(18:34):
what no other country on Earth could do. History will
record that President Trump acted to deny the world's most
dangerous regime the world's most dangerous weapons. His leadership today
has created a pivot of history that can help lead
the Middle East and beyond to a future of prosperity
(18:56):
and peace.
Speaker 3 (18:58):
There is a big.
Speaker 1 (18:59):
Question Americans going to have to answer, and you you're
gonna have to answer it for yourself, because at this show,
we don't tell you how to think.
Speaker 3 (19:05):
We just give you a lot to think.
Speaker 1 (19:06):
About did Donald Trump, president of the United States, make
this decision to help Israel or protect America. Now you're
gonna hear consistently from bb net Yeah who and from
Donald Trump both, and I think both of the answer.
Speaker 3 (19:27):
Why. I loved what bb said.
Speaker 1 (19:30):
This is one of the most dangerous regimes with the
materials to carry out the most dangerous weapons. That's a
no brainer. I got news for you. I do believe
the bb netneah who is grateful to have a friend
like the United States, and in particular the current president
(19:53):
and the military might but it goes beyond that. He
didn't come out and say it. I kind of wish
he would have. A lot of presidents have said we
have your back Israel. A lot of presidents, even those
who wanted to be president, have said Iran can never
(20:16):
be allowed to have a weapon of mass destruction. But
only President Trump did it. You know, one of the
most interesting questions we could ask today is if everyone
agrees Iran could never and should never be allowed to
have a nuclear weapon, why is this air strike so
(20:38):
politically polarizing?
Speaker 3 (20:43):
Not just was it necessary to stand by.
Speaker 1 (20:45):
Israel, was it necessary to ensure the security of the
American people.
Speaker 3 (20:53):
I'll give you an example.
Speaker 1 (20:58):
This is Hillary in two thousand and eight, probably the
same Hillary, like her husband second guessing the president now,
but this was Hillary in two thousand and eight.
Speaker 11 (21:14):
Listen the Iranians to know that if I'm the president,
we will attack Iran. Whatever stage of development they might
be in their nuclear weapons program in the next ten years,
during which they might foolishly consider launching an attack on Israel,
we would be able to totally obliterate.
Speaker 1 (21:31):
Them, which is exactly what Donald Trump did. So what's
the problem. Well, that's Hillary. She's establishment Republican, all right,
establishment Democrat. She was one of the last of the
sane ones. Right, she's pre Obama. Well, here's Barack.
Speaker 10 (21:47):
Obama cannot afford to have a nuclear arms race in
the most volatile region of the world. Aronza state sponsor
of terrorism, and for them to be able to provide
nuclear technology to nonstate that's unacceptable. And they have said
that they want to see Israel wiped off the map.
Speaker 1 (22:06):
Yeah, they've also said, first come Saturday, then comes Sunday.
First they want Israel and all the Jews dead. Then
they want America destroyed and all the Christians dead. Then
the hit knee mom finally appears for Islamic world role,
followed by judgment from Allah. I mean, at some point,
(22:30):
isn't that really the most frustrating thing, that it's impossible
to just be adults and see a president in a
very difficult situation, and he's in that situation because of
everything that has been done and not been done prior
(22:51):
to him being in that position. So I'm going to
refuse to tell you how to think, but I will
say that those one hundred and twenty five aircraft, those
seven B two bombers, those fourteen not two bunker busters,
those seventy five precision guided missiles, they all went where
(23:14):
they went because of the actions of Iran, and whatever
happens next will be based on the actions of Iran.
But how this becomes a political football? Watch Bernie Sanders response.
This is Bernie Sanders responding like he just got news
the president has been killed. He's in the middle of
(23:35):
a goofball speech and somebody hands him a piece of paper.
Speaker 6 (23:38):
Listen, this is a statement statement from Donald Trump.
Speaker 3 (23:43):
Quote.
Speaker 6 (23:44):
We have completed all a very successful attack on the
three nucleocytes in ineran et cetera.
Speaker 1 (23:52):
By the way, he's standing before a podium that says
fight oligarchy. He can see the enemy of oligarchy, but
he can't see the enemy of Iran or an authoritarian
theocratic centuries old threat.
Speaker 3 (24:15):
Listen.
Speaker 1 (24:21):
I mean, if you're gonna boo that, what are you cheering?
You like the thought of Iran having weapons of mass destruction?
You don't think they'll use them?
Speaker 12 (24:29):
This must people Lincoln was talking about, and he said
a kingdom divided against itself on that stand, which is
exactly what the airstrike is intended to keep war from happening.
Speaker 1 (24:53):
I agree, and I want to tell you something.
Speaker 3 (24:58):
Not only is this news.
Speaker 6 (25:01):
That I've just heard, the second alarming that all of
you have just heard, but it is so grossly unconstitutional.
All of you know that the only entity they can
take this country to war is the US Congress.
Speaker 3 (25:20):
The president does.
Speaker 1 (25:21):
Not have so right.
Speaker 3 (25:23):
Of course, we haven't declared war whatsoever.
Speaker 1 (25:26):
So we have military precision, a tough decision made by
the president, nonsensical political fodder at home. I couldn't help
but expect more, But of course I didn't get it.
Dadie Vance. You're going to see in a minute how
his numbers are on the rise its performances like this.
Speaker 13 (25:48):
Well, first of all, I think it's a bizarre response,
but I also don't know that that guy speaks for
President Putin or for the Russian government. One of the
things that we've picked up john in our conversations with
the Russians over the last few months, despite our many disagreements,
of course, with the State of Russia, they've been very
consistent that they don't want to Ran to get a
nuclear weapon. And this is what I think many commentators
underappreciate about what the President did last night.
Speaker 3 (26:11):
Iran having a nuclear weapon.
Speaker 13 (26:13):
Nuclear proliferation in the Middle East is a disaster.
Speaker 3 (26:15):
For pretty much everybody.
Speaker 13 (26:17):
It's one of the few issues where Russia, China, and
the United States have brought agreement is that we don't
want to see a nuclear arms race in the Middle East.
So what the President did was very important. I'll let
President Putin speak to what the official Russian position on
this is, but I feel very confident that both for Russia,
for China, and most importantly of course for US, we
(26:38):
don't want to Ran to have a nuclear weapon. And
I think that goal is going to continue to animate
American policy for the next few years.
Speaker 1 (26:45):
That was him responding to the former Russian president. Medvedev
made some comments about Ronald just get its nuclear program back.
We'll make sure of it. We'll send them the warheads immediately.
Of course, it wasn't an official response from Russian and
it's just rhetoric. This is the kind of confrontation. This
is the kind of disrespect you get from a media
(27:06):
that doesn't know it's dead talking to leaders making serious
decisions in very dangerous times. And one has substance and
the other doesen't. And that's pretty obvious for anybody to watches. Listen,
are you.
Speaker 14 (27:22):
Saying there that the United States did not see intelligence
that the Supreme Leader had uplex weatonization overwhelming Mission hundreds.
Speaker 3 (27:32):
That's irrelevant.
Speaker 15 (27:33):
I think that question being asked on the media, that's
an irrelevant.
Speaker 14 (27:35):
Question in US intelligence assessment. You know, yes, it was
the political.
Speaker 15 (27:42):
I know that better than you know that, and I
know that that's not the case.
Speaker 1 (27:44):
But whether the order was given, and the hubris of
these weekend talking heads and suits and the level of disrespect,
not to mention, ignorance, this is face the nation. This
has faced the bias.
Speaker 15 (28:03):
But listen, the people who say that It doesn't matter
if the order was given. They have everything they need
to build nuclear weapons. Why would you bury Why would
you bury things in a mountain three hundred feet under
the ground. Why would you bury six Why do they
have sixty percent in rich uranium? You don't need sixty
percent and rich urrea. The only countries in the world
that have uranium at sixty percent.
Speaker 3 (28:21):
Are countries that have nuclear weapons, because it can quickly
make it ninety.
Speaker 15 (28:25):
They have all the elements they have. Why why do
they have a space program? Is Aron going to go
to the moon? No, they're trying to build an ICBM.
Speaker 3 (28:31):
But that's a question.
Speaker 14 (28:32):
That's a question, But that's a question of intent. And
you know in the intelligence assessment that it was that
Iran wanted to be a threshold. See you use those
I'm talking about what the intelligence says its March assessment.
And that's why I was asking you if you know
something more from it.
Speaker 15 (28:46):
That's also an inaccurate representation of it. That's inaccurate representation
of it. That's not how intelligence is read, that's not
how intelligence is used. Here's what the whole world knows.
Forget about intelligence. What the IAEA knows. They are enriching uranium,
Well beyond anything you need.
Speaker 1 (29:01):
For a civil new notice all the yeses, yes, yes, yes, yes,
until you do something. Now we have to apply the matrix.
What was you know? You can hear Bernie fan the
flames of ignorance. But what would be his solution? What
(29:22):
would have been Kammalist solution? Would the border even be secured?
Would we even be talking about of the fifteen hundred
and four Iranian arrests at the border, how seven hundred
and twenty nine were released into the United States or
would they be still entering? And no bombing haven't taken place.
(29:46):
But the hubris of discussing what they don't know because
they don't get intelligence briefings or asking questions that can't
be answer. But there's enough on the surface and obvious
for a person of purpose and resolve to make a decision.
(30:09):
Why is the first instinct to second guess it or
to create a fight at home rather than a united home? Well,
you know how I feel about Scott Jennings. He gets
hit the matrix.
Speaker 14 (30:21):
What will be critical in the weeks to come is
Congress must see the underlying intelligence about how they were
in direct threat and how the US needed to respond
without congressional approval.
Speaker 3 (30:31):
But as of right now, I have not.
Speaker 8 (30:32):
Seen that you're arguing that after forty six years of
the Iranian regime killing Americans, threatening Americans, saying over and
over and over again, death to America, that maybe they
were just didn't mean it, that they're a fiery but
mostly peaceful Iranian butchers.
Speaker 3 (30:47):
I don't what I stand you, and I have heard
the last well.
Speaker 1 (30:53):
You, so now we just turn this into a worthless
fight at home on television nobody's watching. I'm going to
conclude with this because I think at some point take
a deep breath. Iran has very clear motives and intentions.
(31:15):
They had very advanced centrifuges, enrichment beyond energy and weapons
grade and all there is to wars means mode of
an opportunity. Nobody wanted to start a war with them.
Nobody wanted to finish a war for Israel. America took
the leadership to end the most obvious threat on planet Earth.
(31:38):
And if you can't find pride in anything else this morning,
how about the precision of men and women born all
around us, growing up in neighborhoods all around us, that
go on with our resources and the right training and
the right equipment to carry out when no one else
(31:59):
on Earth can. That was the briefing Saturday morning from
the Joint CHEESEA staff.
Speaker 7 (32:04):
At night Friday into Saturday morning, a large B two
strike package comprised of bomber's launched from the continental United
States as part of the plan to maintain tactical surprise.
Part of the package proceeded to the west and into
the Pacific as a decoy. At approximately six forty pm
Eastern Standard time two ten am a Ran time, the
(32:28):
lead B two dropped two GBU fifty seven massive ordnance
penetrator weapons on the first of several aim points at
four doh as the President stated last night. The remaining
bombers then hit their targets as well, with a total
of fourteen mops dropped against two nuclear target areas. All
(32:51):
three Iranian nuclear infrastructure targets were struck between.
Speaker 1 (32:55):
Six forty pm and seven.
Speaker 7 (32:57):
H five pm Eastern time again, and that's about two
ten in the morning local time in Iran, with the
Tomahawk missiles being the last to strike at Espahan. To
ensure we retain the element of surprise throughout the operation,
following weapons release, the Midnight hammer Strike package exited Iranian
(33:19):
airspace and the package began its return home. We are
unaware of any shots fired at the package on the
way out.
Speaker 1 (33:29):
I will say this has been brilliantly played. You can
disagree whether it should have been played, but you can't
disagree how it was played. The Hoothies are wreaking havoc.
Hamas initiated an invasion and wreaking haavage. All proxies have
a run. Russia took care of Hamas, the US took
(33:51):
care of the Houthies, crippling their proxy surrogate options. These
strikes from Israel that got air superiority to the point
where this mission was carried out without a single shot
being fired at it. It's all just brilliant. I mean
(34:13):
the finals was Donald Trump saying I'll take two weeks
when he had probably already given the order, and we
said that on Friday, to the precision of leaving from
Missouri and refueling and decoys and zero leaks. I love
these members from Congress. We should have been brief We
should have been briefed. Yeah, they would have kept the secrecy.
(34:35):
They'd have jeopardized the lives of everybody on this mission
and the result. We were thinking two bucker busters. How
about fourteen seventy five percision precision guided missiles Tomahawks. I
can play you sounds all day long of people saying
we got to remove the set. Well, it's been removed
(34:57):
and with great precision. So what's the problem, all right?
Speaker 2 (35:00):
Everybody?
Speaker 3 (35:01):
Luck her low. I'm not sure.
Speaker 8 (35:02):
I don't think we should be taking the advice from
a group of people who can't define what a woman is.
Speaker 1 (35:08):
That was just complete the noise of the matrix. And
that's your Sounds of the day for this Monday, June
the twenty third, twenty twenty five.
Speaker 3 (35:15):
Your top five stories are next. We're all in this together.
