Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hi, it's me Michael. Your morning show can be heard
live daily on great radio stations like News Radio six
fifty k E n I Anchorage, Alaska, Talk Radio eleven
ninety Dallas Fort Worth, and Freedom one oh four seven
in Washington, d C. We'd love to have you listen
live every day and make us a part of your
morning routine. But better late than never.
Speaker 2 (00:18):
Enjoy the podcast well two three, starting your morning off right.
Speaker 3 (00:24):
A new way of talk, a new way of understanding,
because we're in this together.
Speaker 4 (00:30):
This is your morning show with Michael O'Dell Jordan.
Speaker 2 (00:35):
All right, let me see if I can get you
up to speed. It is seven minutes after the hour.
It is Tuesday, June the twenty fourth. This is your
morning show.
Speaker 4 (00:42):
I'm Michael, you're you.
Speaker 2 (00:43):
Jeffreys there, Reds there, let's get started. The Israeli Prime
Minister bb DET and Yahoo along with Iran confirming a
ceasefire agreement. Yet I neither have been cease firing, and
the President is hopping mad.
Speaker 4 (00:56):
He had this message for both of them.
Speaker 5 (00:59):
Israel.
Speaker 6 (00:59):
As soon as we made the deal, they came out
and they dropped the load of bobs, the likes of
which I've never seen before, the biggest load that we've seen.
Speaker 5 (01:07):
I'm not happy with Israel.
Speaker 6 (01:08):
You know, when I say, okay, now you have twelve hours,
you don't go out in the first hour. Just drop
everything you have on them. So I'm not happy with them.
I'm not happy with Iron either. But I'm really unhappy
if Israel's going out this morning because the one rocket
that didn't land, that was shot perhaps by mistake, that
didn't land, I'm not happy about that.
Speaker 3 (01:28):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (01:29):
And it gets even worse because on the plane on
Truth Social he makes the message to Israel, if you've
got planes in the air, return them home. Now, this
particular president on like the previous president and other presidents
who talk a good game but don't do anything, he
has to say, we helped. Now listen, the threat is gone.
(01:54):
It's been taken out. We did our job on our behalf,
in your behalf. Now listen to me and stop it.
This is proof that this president wanted to remove this
threat once and for all and did not want to
escalate this into a He's not a warmonger. He didn't
want a regional war, a world war, and he sure
as heck doesn't want a nation build. Now we took
(02:16):
out those weapons for you so you can be safe. Now,
stop the fighting. He's not happy with either. Oh and
if you don't think so, here was the follow up comment.
Speaker 6 (02:27):
We basically have two countries that have been fighting so
long and so.
Speaker 5 (02:31):
Hard that they don't know what the they're doing. Do
you understand that?
Speaker 2 (02:37):
I remember Roger Roger sent me an email saying, I
don't know what it is, but I like when I
hear an F bomb dropped.
Speaker 4 (02:45):
I don't, but.
Speaker 2 (02:47):
The President's obviously very frustrated. I thought it was interesting
the President leaving the White House headed for Marine one,
headed for Andrews. He's now in the air on his
way to the Native summit, had comments, very strong comments
for CNN and MSNBC. And I think it was the
disrespect for the life risking, expertly planned and executed military
(03:16):
strike that no one else on earth could have done
but the United States, and.
Speaker 4 (03:21):
How they're playing matrix politics with it.
Speaker 2 (03:27):
And he gets that they really are after him, but
to disrespect these pilots. Now the President is kind of
asking what I've been asking all morning long, which is
why is it so hard to see right and wrong?
Why is it so hard to root for America. He
didn't use the F bomb for them, but he didn't
use the L word.
Speaker 6 (03:46):
Listen, Iran will never rebuild it different from there, absolutely not.
That place is under rock. That place is demolished. To
beat two pilots did their job. They did it better
than anybody could even imagine. They hit late in the evening,
it was dark with no moon, and they hit that
target with every one of those things.
Speaker 5 (04:06):
And that place is gone.
Speaker 6 (04:08):
But when I see CNN all night long, they're trying
to say, well, maybe it wasn't really as demolished as
we thought there was demolishing. You take a look at
the pinpricks and you see that place is gone.
Speaker 5 (04:20):
And I will say, I think CNN.
Speaker 6 (04:22):
Or to apologize to the pilots of the V two's,
I think that msdnco to apologize. I think these guys really,
these networks are these cable networks are real losers.
Speaker 4 (04:34):
You're really you're real losers.
Speaker 2 (04:36):
All right, let me bring in Lieutenant Colonel James Carafana, which,
by the way, it's so impressive to say, joining us
live from Helsinki. All right, So we had a precision
like we've never seen coordinated airstrike to take out this
nuclear threat. Now we have both sides agreeing to a
ceasefire and neither complying. In the President pretty upset with
both of them, and strong words for israel I. Guess
(04:58):
that kind of falls under We hold our friends even more,
but we expect Iran to behave poorly, but we expect
more from our allies. Where do we stand and do
you think this is going to hold?
Speaker 7 (05:10):
Yeah?
Speaker 8 (05:10):
I think this sees fire. Eventually we'll kick get it
and I'll be fine. But here's here's what I would
say is like for twenty years, we have struggled to think,
how do we deal with this incredibly dangerous regime? And
let's let's run down the list of the things that
made it dangerous. All the oil money that poured in
(05:33):
the country. Trump has pretty much shut that off. The
surrogates that they've used to threaten o their enemies, every
one of them has been cut off. The missiles, the
rain of fire that they threatened with their enemies, well
half of their ballistic missile force has already gone, and
they don't really have much capacity to shoot much much more.
(05:55):
The no limits alliances with Russia and China, and we've
just seen as in China would actually.
Speaker 3 (06:01):
Do nothing for them, And and and this, and the.
Speaker 8 (06:04):
Nuclear the threat to be a nuclear weapons spoke, and
that's been almost wiped out. So the problem that the
Iranians presented us.
Speaker 3 (06:14):
For twenty years.
Speaker 8 (06:16):
Trump has been president for only six months, and he's
virtually taken every pillar of what makes Iran a global
problem and and grounded into the sands.
Speaker 2 (06:30):
Not just a not just a global problem, but the
most clear, present danger and predictable threat to a region
and the world.
Speaker 4 (06:38):
And it's gone.
Speaker 2 (06:39):
Now there's no And I don't want to play talk radio,
but I mean, whoever was president, whether it was Joe
Biden or whoever was controlling the autopen they sent a
plane full of cash over a billion something dollars to
a run.
Speaker 4 (06:51):
We sent B twelve bombers.
Speaker 2 (06:52):
Some decoy, some real thirty six hour mission refueled in
the air, took out with great precision, not two bunker busters.
Speaker 4 (06:59):
But but I mean it was.
Speaker 2 (07:00):
Just if America can't see that difference, and if they
can't see how weakness emboldens aggressors versus how strength creates
peace and avoids war, well then you just missed the
whole lesson that's happening in real time.
Speaker 3 (07:15):
But it's not. It's not just that mission.
Speaker 8 (07:21):
In six months, he has taken out, by himself or
with the help of friends and allies, every pillar of what.
Speaker 3 (07:30):
Makes n Now. We don't know if it's forever, We
don't know what the future holds.
Speaker 8 (07:33):
But today, look, Iroan only made a deal because they
had literally nothing.
Speaker 3 (07:39):
Left to fight with.
Speaker 8 (07:41):
And that's because one way or another, in less than
six months, right, and a problem that's been there since
Jimmy Carter right, Trump saw Trump dealt that problem a
huge setback. That's that's an unbelievable achievement.
Speaker 2 (07:58):
I said something earlier, Lieutenant Colonel James Carafano, finest military
form policy mind in America. Today he's joining us from Helsinki.
But I said, and you taught War College, and you
taught at West Point.
Speaker 4 (08:09):
This one's going to go down in history when you.
Speaker 2 (08:11):
Start looking at how the proxies were taken out, the
trip to Arab America with the United Arab Emirates and
cut and Katar, all of that, I mean, just masterful.
Speaker 4 (08:21):
And at the end of the day they were in checkmate.
Speaker 2 (08:23):
They were out of ballistic missiles, their nuclear program was destroyed.
Russia China weren't coming to their rescue. In fact, when
you think of yesterday in real time, we get the
reports that there's rhetoric coming from Russian past leadership or
current leadership that they'll just replace the warheads. Dissidents from
Iran were seen in Russia. Well, they obviously didn't get
any help and the ceasefire was signed hours later, so
(08:45):
they had no other move. It was check mate. Now
the question becomes how long would it take them to
rebuild this?
Speaker 8 (08:54):
Well, who knows. But the reality is is we have
a window now.
Speaker 3 (09:02):
To really reset things.
Speaker 8 (09:04):
So even if Iran does want to go back to
being the irand it was five years ago, we have
five years to prepare for that, prevent that push that back.
Speaker 3 (09:16):
We are in really great shape. And here's the other question.
Speaker 8 (09:18):
I ask yourself, what is the lesson that the Russians
and Chinese took away from this? And they watched systematically
while Trump took one of the most important allies that
they'd have, but basically put them on their knees. If
you are Russian in China, you got to ask, and
(09:40):
Donald Trump did this without putting America really at risk.
Speaker 2 (09:45):
No, I mean, for the criticism of nation building, war mongering.
I think he's made it clear it was a strategic
strike to eliminate a clear and present danger.
Speaker 4 (09:55):
And now we're out of him. There's no entanglement beyond.
Speaker 3 (09:57):
That, right. And and look, I mean, I don't think everything
is going to be this. I don't.
Speaker 8 (10:03):
I don't want to say this clean and simple. The
reality was it wasn't clean and simple. It wasn't risk free.
I mean, and it was a lot of work and
it took months to do this. But the reality is
there is a path no offensive past presidents, but there
is a path between being Obama and Biden and trying
to appease every evildoer in the world.
Speaker 3 (10:26):
And ask them to eat you last. And you know
this kind of overly.
Speaker 8 (10:30):
Ambitious uh, you know Bush thing about well, we're going
to make the world safe by essentially kind of you know,
fixing the world.
Speaker 3 (10:40):
I mean, there's a path, and the middle path is.
Speaker 8 (10:42):
Be pragmatic, be practical, and put your interests first. And
and uh, you know Trump has done that. Uh and
uh and I.
Speaker 3 (10:52):
Think really demonstrated that.
Speaker 5 (10:56):
Well.
Speaker 8 (10:56):
First of all, I love the conservative movement. I love
that there were people that were nervous, they're unhappy. In
the fact, some of the president's biggest critics, we're actually
super happy when he attacked around and some of his
greatest friends were like, oh my god, I can't believe it.
Speaker 3 (11:11):
That rug.
Speaker 8 (11:11):
But the reality is we are the Conservative is a
big practice movement. Which is our strength, right, It's the
ability to debate these things because we all have ought
to have a vote and what we think is really important.
But then we pick a leader and how to put this,
but we have a lot to embraces. The best of us.
Speaker 2 (11:33):
I do know how to put it, and that is
and it's the hell that I have witnessed, that is
your life and job. That people don't think about foreign
policy until we're in a crisis, and that's too late.
So we're ignorant of foreign policy. This is a four
thousand year conflict and a four decade failure. And finally
somebody did And I could play a quotes from Hillary
(11:54):
to Barack did what we've known to do and failed
to do for four decades.
Speaker 4 (11:59):
But the American people, we're.
Speaker 2 (12:00):
Busy with all our little fight djours and then we
want to act like we understand enemies and foreign policy
in a crisis situation and we don't get it. Thank god,
we did get enough to elect the right person. I
want to answer your other question too, is the answered
if you're China and Russia, be quiet and lay low.
Speaker 4 (12:19):
Until you get a Democrat president again.
Speaker 8 (12:22):
Right, which may maybe a while, but I mean that
would be that would be my advice, right, because neither
one of those guys has a great you know hand either.
Speaker 3 (12:34):
I mean, it's not like they're carrying four races.
Speaker 8 (12:36):
I mean the Russians, the Russian economy has peaked, or
war making capacity as peaked.
Speaker 3 (12:43):
They're facing very difficult decisions they had. They're not winning
in Ukraine. I mean they're not even winning on their ground.
Speaker 2 (12:52):
Uh.
Speaker 8 (12:53):
The the Iran there is capacity to actually help them
is completely diminished. The Chinese economy has its own issues.
Neither one of these guys can really afford to take
on the United States if if they're playing a guy,
you know, if they're playing a team that has the right.
Speaker 2 (13:13):
Coach, right and agreement, you know, final minute.
Speaker 3 (13:18):
No. I just want to do is we are not
that there's no hoopers here. We're not perfect, we're not
all powerful.
Speaker 8 (13:24):
We can't do everything, but we have a president who
understands our strength and weaknesses and knows how to use
our strengths and safeguard are you know, safeguard the parts.
Speaker 3 (13:32):
Of their week that is the worst possible enemy to fight. Uh.
Speaker 2 (13:36):
Closing moments with James Carafano, all right, so what's left
at NATO?
Speaker 3 (13:39):
Real quick? Oh, it's going to.
Speaker 8 (13:42):
Be in and out five percent. Everybody's gonna agree to it.
We're over and we're out of there. And Trump basically
have achieved exactly what he what he said we need
to do ten years ago, which is NATOR needs to
stand up and provide a level defense.
Speaker 3 (13:56):
That matches the threats that we face. And there and
and they're going to do that, even.
Speaker 4 (14:00):
A nocean away. You're always there for us.
Speaker 2 (14:02):
Lietenant, Colonel James Grifonald read his great work and his
colleagues great work at Heritage dot org. All right, have
a great visit and hel Sinki. We'll talk next week.
Speaker 1 (14:09):
It's your morning show with Michael del Chorno.
Speaker 4 (14:13):
All right, A lot's happened.
Speaker 2 (14:14):
The president on social media announced the ceasefire. Ceenn tried
to make you think it wasn't real and something Trump
just mistakenly said, then Iran then Israel both agreed the
ceasefire agreement had taken place, and then they continued to
bomb each other. President's not happy with either. Read me
to comment off the ear that I think is really
(14:35):
worth repeating, and that is people always overread how tough
Donald Trump is on Ukraine and in particular Zelensky. Frankly,
though I do disagree with you a little bit.
Speaker 3 (14:48):
Read.
Speaker 2 (14:48):
I think he wants Ukraine to survive and win. I
don't know that he wants Zelensky to be the leader
when they do. But but yeah, there's this notion that
you're tougher on your friends. You expect Russia to misbehave,
you expect Iran to misbehave. But I just took out
your nuclear threat sitting in Iran. Now listen to me
and stop the bombing. President with very strong words for
(15:10):
Israel and Iran for the cease fire. Meanwhile, you have
the discrediting of all the left, whether it's AOC Bernie Jasmine, CNNMSNBC,
the Atlantic, all their narratives of war mongering all shot down,
like the nuclear stockpile and the scientists who are working
(15:31):
on them before it even gets off the ground.
Speaker 4 (15:34):
They've been trumped again. You think they learn their lesson.
They die on another false narrative hill. But what do
narratives always die of reality? Of course, Ben Chairman, he's
going to have it handed to him on Capitol Hill today.
And it looks like the New York jury in the
sex crime trial of p Diddy Combs is going to
start deliberating by the end of the week. I don't
(15:55):
know that they've made a case scumbag, yes, but trafficking,
I don't know that they've made it.
Speaker 2 (16:00):
That's gonna be an interesting reaction from America when the
results come in.
Speaker 3 (16:05):
Good morning, guys.
Speaker 7 (16:06):
This is Jeff in Pleasant View, Tennessee, and my morning
show is your Morning Show with Michael Dale Jorno.
Speaker 4 (16:18):
Hi, I'm Michael.
Speaker 1 (16:18):
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 at 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.
Speaker 2 (16:35):
It's been a busy morning. I have turned off the gas.
I have turned off the water supply to the hot
water heater. This is an exciting moment for me in
my home Elitit. I have three new air conditioners, I
have two new decks, I have a new roof, all
new windows. I looked at Andrew, I said, well, there's
nothing left to break but the water heater. I should
just replace it. And so we've been waiting on a
(16:58):
refrigerator that won't break in a hot water heater that
just broke. Benjamin Franklin's on the way. We'll get that
in and get that done. I have crisis averted off
the air on the air well. We've talked about how
long this has been going on and the flawlessness of
the pre planning. The first to take out the houthis
now there is a couple of unanswered questions in all
(17:18):
of this, which is the same intelligence in Israel that
took out six scientists, that took out the Revolutionary Guard
command leadership and its replacement and the Iranian equivalent of
a Joint Chief of Staff and set the table for
air superiority for us to finish the job with the
bunker Busters. This all begins with taking out the Houthis
(17:42):
and Hamas, and that was in retaliation for an invasion
where America had no president or whoever was behind the
auto pen But that one unanswered question out loud is
are we to believe that the same intelligence in Israel
that carried out what it carried out on Iranian soil
(18:03):
didn't see that invasion coming. That's too hard to even
think about, and that may even tickle some nine to
eleven conspiracy theorists.
Speaker 4 (18:12):
But taking it for.
Speaker 2 (18:13):
What it is at face value, flawlessly taking out their
surrogates Hesba, lah A, Moss, the Houthies, so they didn't
have that for retaliation, the taking out of command and scientists,
and then the taking out of these facilities in the
final takeout from the United States. It's it's all very,
very remarkable, and it'll be won't be seen as such
(18:37):
in real time by a media and a matrix that
is dead, but they'll teach it more colleges for years
to come in its significant So now yesterday we get
the news of a cease fire and the president does
it on true social That's interesting in and of itself.
He just had a message for Israel on truth social
while he's on a plane headed to a NATO summit.
(18:58):
But the President announced, congratulations to everyone. It has been
fully agreed by by and between Israel and Iran that
there will be a complete and total ceasefire in approximately
six hours from now, where we're some eleven hours into
that now, and Israel and Iran will wind down and
complete their progress and final missions for twelve hours, at
(19:20):
which time the war will be considered ended officially. Iran
will start the ceasefire, and upon the twelfth hour, Israel,
we'll start the ceasefire. Well, the President, with very strong
words before leaving for the NATO summit, especially for Israel,
even dropped an f bomb. But he wants it over,
and he has the credibility to say that for what
he's done to defend Israel, now he wants it over.
(19:41):
He expects shenanigans from Iran, just like he expects shenanigans
from Russia with dealing with Ukraine, but he doesn't expect
it from our allies that we have defended and invested
well in. So then on the plane he says, if
you've got planes in the air, you better return them
to the ground. So the President clearly wasn't interested in
(20:01):
an entanglement, clearly wasn't interested in escalating this into war
for profit, and he clearly wasn't interested in nation building.
Speaker 4 (20:12):
He took out the threat. Now he wants both to
stop it.
Speaker 2 (20:17):
The leftist anti Trump narratives all dead before they ever
get off the ground. And if you on the right
that have lost a lot of credibility, that's kind of
getting you up to speed on what's happening. Can't have
your morning show without your voice, so I want to
give you guys the chance to exhale in comment as well.
Speaker 4 (20:35):
I think we're going to start with Big John.
Speaker 9 (20:40):
Another great important interview by the Lieutenant colonel right there, Michael.
Great job he explained everything so simply to everyone and
put us at rest.
Speaker 4 (20:55):
Great job again, thanks.
Speaker 2 (20:57):
I thought, what was interesting is, you know, yeah story.
We got off the air and I was in awe
of the military strike and the achievement, the secrecy, the sophistication,
the flawless execution, the precision and the result. I was concerned,
all right, so now what's Iran going to do? My
(21:20):
gut was, there's nothing left for them to do. Their
scientists are gone, their commanders are gone, they've almost depleted
all of their ballistic missile capabilities. Their nuclear programs kicked
back to day one. So now through proxies where the
only concern I had was on American soil, and so
we were kicking around numbers. Some fifteen hundred and something
(21:41):
Iranians broke into the country. Seven hundred and something of
them were allowed to just enter the country and were
freed into the country during the Biden administration. Are those
sleeper cells? Will they act? May they still? I don't know. Then,
of course my next I wasn't concerned about the era
world in the Muslim world, because I think the President
of preset that up with the visit in Saudi Arabia
(22:04):
as well as and Qatar. But I had some concerns
with Russia and China, and they both stayed on the sidelines,
and dissidents were seen in Russia. They clearly got an
answer of we're not going to do anything. Well at
that point, your checkmate, And I think that's what James
Carafana was laying out. They'll teach this in war college,
(22:26):
they'll teach this in leadership college. What the president has
achieved in six months that the leaders for decades failed
to do in a four thousand year conflict they failed
to understand is remarkable compared to his predecessors and should
be remembered as such.
Speaker 4 (22:46):
I threw him because I think the visual is so powerful.
Whether it was.
Speaker 2 (22:49):
Biden or whoever was running the White House, they sent
a plane full of cash, he sent a fleet full
of B two bombers and removed the threat once and
for all.
Speaker 4 (22:58):
It's pretty remarkable.
Speaker 2 (23:00):
And now he's demanding peace and a stopping of the
of the of the attacks, with very harsh words for Israel.
He wants this twelfth Hour to be silent and by
the time he lands, I don't know if I'm in
the right order, but Blaine in Iowa, it's where I
have me going next.
Speaker 4 (23:18):
Blaine, Good morning, Michael.
Speaker 10 (23:20):
The failure of the citizenry is also the failure of schools.
They're not teaching history anymore, they're not teaching civics, they're
not teaching home ch they're not teaching even simple math.
And as far as the form disgrace President, he couldn't
start a war. He probably could barely start his corvette. Anyway,
you guys, have a good day. I kind of knew
(23:40):
this was going to happen. I didn't think the peace
thing was going to happen this fast, but I knew
darn well it would take the gbus to do this.
Speaker 2 (23:45):
Yeah, the comment is basically about somebody said, you know,
we played a piece of audio and again, you know,
you got to understand, Bernie Sanders would have been the
Democratic nominee twice twenty sixteen and twenty twenty, probably could
have done it again in twenty twenty four, but they
didn't give.
Speaker 4 (24:03):
Him that chance.
Speaker 2 (24:03):
They just handed all of Joe's delegates straight to Kamala
Harris of the Clinton apparatus. But they they don't have
any credibility today. And it's obvious that Bernie's passed the
mantled AOC. AOC has passed her mantle to Jasmin Crockett.
We played the audio of Jasmine Crockett. Now, the point
(24:25):
of it was how unseerious these people are. They're just
they're not an opposition party, They're just an obstructive anti
American force and pure Trump arrangement and hate. But if
Bernie had his way, if AOC had her way, if
Jasmine had her way, if CNN, MSNBC, The Atlantic, ABC,
NBCCBS had their way, where would we be today, They'd
(24:48):
still be a nuclear threat. They lose all credibility. They're
unserious people in a serious time. And we we talked about,
you know, why is it so hard for everybody to,
you know, just see good and see evil root for good?
Why do we always want to find ourselves as the enemy.
(25:12):
And then we talked about the indoctrinating effort of K
through twelve and higher education, and I think that's what
Blame was commenting on. And yeah, they don't teach civics,
and they've rewritten history and they try to rewrite reality
with media bias. But media bias is exposed. Journalism is dead.
The matrix has been exposed and it's dying. Opposition voices
are not being silenced thanks to Elon Musk's investment. A
(25:35):
lot of the apparatus they had to pull off. What
they pulled off, they can't pull off anymore. And so
kind of like the Wizard of Oz after total pulls
the curt and everybody sees it, but they don't stop
making idiots out of themselves. I mean, really, Senator Kennedy
has it right. They just got to try harder not
to suck, but woke too far in COVID was too
(25:57):
far and that broke the K through twelve stranglehold. But
the same point, whether it's Jasmine Crockett or your school board,
whatever you're seeing is what you've allowed. This is not
a failure of members of Congress. This is a failure
of the citizenry. And that's what Plane was commenting on.
Let's go to Katka in Oklahoma City and Shannon hoping to.
Speaker 11 (26:17):
Keep getting missed in this strike. It didn't just blow
up machinery, all of his people, all of the minds
and the scientists that he had, or that Iran had
that was working on their nuclear program, they're gone.
Speaker 3 (26:39):
It's over.
Speaker 4 (26:41):
Well, we've been talking about it. In fact, that was
the intelligence feat unseen on the ground, the precision targeting
of Israel. I mean, we're talking about a scientists taken
out at his desk and the lobby's still intact. I mean,
it was pretty remarkable. We don't know what the bunker.
Speaker 2 (27:00):
Usters took out in those facilities, but we know that
there's six top scientists are gone. We know that many
of their commanders in the Islamic Revolutionary Guard as well
as the Iranian military have been taken out and they're
almost out of ballistic missiles and their nuclear programs. At
day one, it's been a start to finish, very successful mission.
I don't know why that's so hard for all of
America to appreciate it. I don't forgot what you were
(27:20):
calling it. But to South Dakota we go.
Speaker 12 (27:23):
If I was in Helsinki right now when Trump lands
in the attitude I see, I'd have the best big
Mac that ever was made in an ice cold diet
coke waiting for him.
Speaker 2 (27:39):
Well, here's an eight second quote the President had, and
this was a message for both Iran and Israel.
Speaker 6 (27:46):
We basically have two countries that have been fighting so
long and so hard that they don't know what the
diding and pretty much pretty.
Speaker 4 (27:55):
Much stubs it up.
Speaker 5 (27:56):
And I don't know if.
Speaker 2 (27:57):
A woper with cheese will solve that, But yeah, I
think i'd have some McDonald's, well wapero cheese's burkey. I'd
have a big Mac and a chocolate check waiting for
him with an extra large fry.
Speaker 4 (28:10):
This is your Morning Show with Michael del Chrono.
Speaker 2 (28:14):
Well, you all know the latest down the cease fire
and the President's strong words for Israel and Iran to
make it so and immediately before he lands. What's another news, Well,
the Supreme Court is allowing the Trump administration to deport
convicted criminals to so called third countries.
Speaker 4 (28:32):
Another court victory.
Speaker 7 (28:33):
If puts a hold on a Federral judge's ruling that
said that those being deported should have a chance to
bring claims that they would be at risk of persecution
or death if sent to the countries. All three liberal
judges on the court dissented that White House can now
send the migrants to places like South Sudan.
Speaker 2 (28:48):
A Mark Neefield well, the sales have previously owned homes
rose slightly in May to an annual rate of just
over four million units.
Speaker 4 (28:54):
Scott Carr has more.
Speaker 13 (28:56):
The National Association of Realtors reports existing home sales edged
up by eight tenths of a percent for the month,
but we're still lower compared to May of last year.
Housing analysts were predicting a one percent decline as mortgage
rates remain relatively high. The median sale price last month
was nearly four hundred and twenty three thousand dollars for
(29:16):
a single family home, as home prices hit another record High.
I'm Scott Carr in Washington.
Speaker 2 (29:23):
Bad Company co founder Mick Raufs is dead at the
age of ninety one. As representatives confirmed his death on Monday,
but no cause was announced. He wrote it songs for
Bad Company like Can't Get Enough, feel like Making Love.
Frontman Paul Rodgers said his heart is hit the ground
and that Mick left us with exceptional songs and memories.
I think my favorite was Superstar. Johnny made a recording
(29:46):
straight up to them Shooting Star.
Speaker 4 (29:47):
Good.
Speaker 2 (29:48):
Paraye today at ten thirty and Oklahoma City for your
NBA champion Oklahoma City Thunder who beat the Pacers one
oh three ninety one in Game seven of the NBA Finals.
Speaker 4 (29:56):
Parade is today.
Speaker 2 (29:57):
Birthdays Linel Messi argu the best soccer player of his day,
thirty eight years old. Today Fleetwood Max Mick Fleetwood seventy eight.
If it's your birthday, Happy birthday. Were so glad you
were born? All right, let's wrap things up with the
very latest on the conflict in the Middle East. Our
national correspondent Roory O'Neil is joining us. The President was
strong words on the ground and then from the air,
(30:17):
and primarily directed at Israel.
Speaker 4 (30:19):
Good morning, Ry, Good morning.
Speaker 14 (30:22):
He's a bit frustrated with Israel that for launching one
last flory of attacks on the Iranian capital of Tehran
as the Seaspire was beginning. The President disappointed in that,
also disappointed that Israel was sort of saber rattling. After
one missile was launched by Iran after the Seaspire began,
(30:42):
it was intercepted, but Israel said they'd be striking Tehran again.
The President frustrated by that, apparently calling Prime Minister net
and Yahoo having what's been described as a stern conversation, Yes, and.
Speaker 4 (30:56):
A dropping of an F bob for both of them
stand out. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (31:00):
You know, Red brought up something off the air that
I thought was very interesting. You know, it's often perceived
that the President's being hard on Zelensky and Ukraine, but
the truth of the matter is he expects more like
he expects Iran and Russia to misbehave. But when we
take a stand and we invest and stand by our
friends like Ukraine and Israel, we expect them to behave
(31:23):
at a higher level. And I think that's why there's
a consistency there. But that's why there's a harsher tone
for bb Net Yahoo, I just took out this threat.
Speaker 4 (31:32):
Now stop the nonsense. It was pretty clear. Couldn't be
more clear?
Speaker 14 (31:35):
Yeah, I think it's more of a you owe me
kind this time saying hey, look, I just well, the
President expended a lot of political capital. Now he's got
trouble in his own maga base. I mean it's not
going to end things, but you know it's causing him
political strife at a time he's trying to get the
big beautiful bill over the finish line. The last thing
he needs is falling out with a few members of Congress, all.
Speaker 2 (31:58):
Right, presuming this piece hole. So I think it will.
I mean, Iron's got nowhere else to go. What becomes
the mission of NATO. We were talking Lieutenant Colonel James Tarafano.
He thinks it is going to be a pretty quick meeting,
everybody paying their fair share. I would imagine the focus
has the luxury of solidifying this being over. Nobody did
(32:19):
get involved with Iran, and everybody's stay uninvolved and now
focus on Russia and Ukraine.
Speaker 14 (32:26):
Well, you know, I'm not much of a movie guy, right,
I've totally I don't really watch a lot of movies.
But I'm right now imagining Saturday Night Fever John Travolta
strutting down the highway or the sidewalk there. And I
think that's how Donald Trump is going to walk into NATO, going, hey, guys,
see what I did in two weeks that you guys
couldn't do in all these years. So I think there's
going to be a bit of a victory lap for
(32:47):
the president if this cease fire holds through his time
there anyway. And then look, they've also got to refocus
on this Ukraine situation, especially, you know, we're still expecting
a strong attack by Russia into Ukraine this summer.
Speaker 2 (33:02):
Yeah, and don't touch the hair. I guess it would be
the last Saturday Night Live reference. Great reporting as always, Rory,
Thank you. You know that is a great final point.
Rory is making. Yes, the clear and present danger and
the threat to the region and the world. More importantly,
the most predictable threat to the world has been removed.
(33:25):
And when you're sitting at NATO, no other country removed
this threat. Six maybe previous presidents, including one who created
it and one who paid it off Booke ending they didn't.
Speaker 4 (33:37):
Do anything Donald Trump did.
Speaker 2 (33:41):
I think the most deafening, compelling thing that Lieutenant Colonel
James Carafounal brought up is if you're China or Russia,
what do you think the message is to them? Yeah,
street cred is high for Donald Trump arriving at NATO.
Well that'll do it for today.
Speaker 4 (33:57):
We're all in this together. This is your Morning Show
with Michael del journe.
Hi, it's me Michael. Your morning show can be heard
live daily on great radio stations like News Radio six
fifty k E n I Anchorage, Alaska, Talk Radio eleven
ninety Dallas Fort Worth, and Freedom one oh four seven
in Washington, d C. We'd love to have you listen
live every day and make us a part of your
morning routine. But better late than never.
Speaker 2 (00:18):
Enjoy the podcast well two three, starting your morning off right.
Speaker 3 (00:24):
A new way of talk, a new way of understanding,
because we're in this together.
Speaker 4 (00:30):
This is your morning show with Michael O'Dell Jordan.
Speaker 2 (00:35):
All right, let me see if I can get you
up to speed. It is seven minutes after the hour.
It is Tuesday, June the twenty fourth. This is your
morning show.
Speaker 4 (00:42):
I'm Michael, you're you.
Speaker 2 (00:43):
Jeffreys there, Reds there, let's get started. The Israeli Prime
Minister bb DET and Yahoo along with Iran confirming a
ceasefire agreement. Yet I neither have been cease firing, and
the President is hopping mad.
Speaker 4 (00:56):
He had this message for both of them.
Speaker 5 (00:59):
Israel.
Speaker 6 (00:59):
As soon as we made the deal, they came out
and they dropped the load of bobs, the likes of
which I've never seen before, the biggest load that we've seen.
Speaker 5 (01:07):
I'm not happy with Israel.
Speaker 6 (01:08):
You know, when I say, okay, now you have twelve hours,
you don't go out in the first hour. Just drop
everything you have on them. So I'm not happy with them.
I'm not happy with Iron either. But I'm really unhappy
if Israel's going out this morning because the one rocket
that didn't land, that was shot perhaps by mistake, that
didn't land, I'm not happy about that.
Speaker 3 (01:28):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (01:29):
And it gets even worse because on the plane on
Truth Social he makes the message to Israel, if you've
got planes in the air, return them home. Now, this
particular president on like the previous president and other presidents
who talk a good game but don't do anything, he
has to say, we helped. Now listen, the threat is gone.
(01:54):
It's been taken out. We did our job on our behalf,
in your behalf. Now listen to me and stop it.
This is proof that this president wanted to remove this
threat once and for all and did not want to
escalate this into a He's not a warmonger. He didn't
want a regional war, a world war, and he sure
as heck doesn't want a nation build. Now we took
(02:16):
out those weapons for you so you can be safe. Now,
stop the fighting. He's not happy with either. Oh and
if you don't think so, here was the follow up comment.
Speaker 6 (02:27):
We basically have two countries that have been fighting so
long and so.
Speaker 5 (02:31):
Hard that they don't know what the they're doing. Do
you understand that?
Speaker 2 (02:37):
I remember Roger Roger sent me an email saying, I
don't know what it is, but I like when I
hear an F bomb dropped.
Speaker 4 (02:45):
I don't, but.
Speaker 2 (02:47):
The President's obviously very frustrated. I thought it was interesting
the President leaving the White House headed for Marine one,
headed for Andrews. He's now in the air on his
way to the Native summit, had comments, very strong comments
for CNN and MSNBC. And I think it was the
disrespect for the life risking, expertly planned and executed military
(03:16):
strike that no one else on earth could have done
but the United States, and.
Speaker 4 (03:21):
How they're playing matrix politics with it.
Speaker 2 (03:27):
And he gets that they really are after him, but
to disrespect these pilots. Now the President is kind of
asking what I've been asking all morning long, which is
why is it so hard to see right and wrong?
Why is it so hard to root for America. He
didn't use the F bomb for them, but he didn't
use the L word.
Speaker 6 (03:46):
Listen, Iran will never rebuild it different from there, absolutely not.
That place is under rock. That place is demolished. To
beat two pilots did their job. They did it better
than anybody could even imagine. They hit late in the evening,
it was dark with no moon, and they hit that
target with every one of those things.
Speaker 5 (04:06):
And that place is gone.
Speaker 6 (04:08):
But when I see CNN all night long, they're trying
to say, well, maybe it wasn't really as demolished as
we thought there was demolishing. You take a look at
the pinpricks and you see that place is gone.
Speaker 5 (04:20):
And I will say, I think CNN.
Speaker 6 (04:22):
Or to apologize to the pilots of the V two's,
I think that msdnco to apologize. I think these guys really,
these networks are these cable networks are real losers.
Speaker 4 (04:34):
You're really you're real losers.
Speaker 2 (04:36):
All right, let me bring in Lieutenant Colonel James Carafana, which,
by the way, it's so impressive to say, joining us
live from Helsinki. All right, So we had a precision
like we've never seen coordinated airstrike to take out this
nuclear threat. Now we have both sides agreeing to a
ceasefire and neither complying. In the President pretty upset with
both of them, and strong words for israel I. Guess
(04:58):
that kind of falls under We hold our friends even more,
but we expect Iran to behave poorly, but we expect
more from our allies. Where do we stand and do
you think this is going to hold?
Speaker 7 (05:10):
Yeah?
Speaker 8 (05:10):
I think this sees fire. Eventually we'll kick get it
and I'll be fine. But here's here's what I would
say is like for twenty years, we have struggled to think,
how do we deal with this incredibly dangerous regime? And
let's let's run down the list of the things that
made it dangerous. All the oil money that poured in
(05:33):
the country. Trump has pretty much shut that off. The
surrogates that they've used to threaten o their enemies, every
one of them has been cut off. The missiles, the
rain of fire that they threatened with their enemies, well
half of their ballistic missile force has already gone, and
they don't really have much capacity to shoot much much more.
(05:55):
The no limits alliances with Russia and China, and we've
just seen as in China would actually.
Speaker 3 (06:01):
Do nothing for them, And and and this, and the.
Speaker 8 (06:04):
Nuclear the threat to be a nuclear weapons spoke, and
that's been almost wiped out. So the problem that the
Iranians presented us.
Speaker 3 (06:14):
For twenty years.
Speaker 8 (06:16):
Trump has been president for only six months, and he's
virtually taken every pillar of what makes Iran a global
problem and and grounded into the sands.
Speaker 2 (06:30):
Not just a not just a global problem, but the
most clear, present danger and predictable threat to a region
and the world.
Speaker 4 (06:38):
And it's gone.
Speaker 2 (06:39):
Now there's no And I don't want to play talk radio,
but I mean, whoever was president, whether it was Joe
Biden or whoever was controlling the autopen they sent a
plane full of cash over a billion something dollars to
a run.
Speaker 4 (06:51):
We sent B twelve bombers.
Speaker 2 (06:52):
Some decoy, some real thirty six hour mission refueled in
the air, took out with great precision, not two bunker busters.
Speaker 4 (06:59):
But but I mean it was.
Speaker 2 (07:00):
Just if America can't see that difference, and if they
can't see how weakness emboldens aggressors versus how strength creates
peace and avoids war, well then you just missed the
whole lesson that's happening in real time.
Speaker 3 (07:15):
But it's not. It's not just that mission.
Speaker 8 (07:21):
In six months, he has taken out, by himself or
with the help of friends and allies, every pillar of what.
Speaker 3 (07:30):
Makes n Now. We don't know if it's forever, We
don't know what the future holds.
Speaker 8 (07:33):
But today, look, Iroan only made a deal because they
had literally nothing.
Speaker 3 (07:39):
Left to fight with.
Speaker 8 (07:41):
And that's because one way or another, in less than
six months, right, and a problem that's been there since
Jimmy Carter right, Trump saw Trump dealt that problem a
huge setback. That's that's an unbelievable achievement.
Speaker 2 (07:58):
I said something earlier, Lieutenant Colonel James Carafano, finest military
form policy mind in America. Today he's joining us from Helsinki.
But I said, and you taught War College, and you
taught at West Point.
Speaker 4 (08:09):
This one's going to go down in history when you.
Speaker 2 (08:11):
Start looking at how the proxies were taken out, the
trip to Arab America with the United Arab Emirates and
cut and Katar, all of that, I mean, just masterful.
Speaker 4 (08:21):
And at the end of the day they were in checkmate.
Speaker 2 (08:23):
They were out of ballistic missiles, their nuclear program was destroyed.
Russia China weren't coming to their rescue. In fact, when
you think of yesterday in real time, we get the
reports that there's rhetoric coming from Russian past leadership or
current leadership that they'll just replace the warheads. Dissidents from
Iran were seen in Russia. Well, they obviously didn't get
any help and the ceasefire was signed hours later, so
(08:45):
they had no other move. It was check mate. Now
the question becomes how long would it take them to
rebuild this?
Speaker 8 (08:54):
Well, who knows. But the reality is is we have
a window now.
Speaker 3 (09:02):
To really reset things.
Speaker 8 (09:04):
So even if Iran does want to go back to
being the irand it was five years ago, we have
five years to prepare for that, prevent that push that back.
Speaker 3 (09:16):
We are in really great shape. And here's the other question.
Speaker 8 (09:18):
I ask yourself, what is the lesson that the Russians
and Chinese took away from this? And they watched systematically
while Trump took one of the most important allies that
they'd have, but basically put them on their knees. If
you are Russian in China, you got to ask, and
(09:40):
Donald Trump did this without putting America really at risk.
Speaker 2 (09:45):
No, I mean, for the criticism of nation building, war mongering.
I think he's made it clear it was a strategic
strike to eliminate a clear and present danger.
Speaker 4 (09:55):
And now we're out of him. There's no entanglement beyond.
Speaker 3 (09:57):
That, right. And and look, I mean, I don't think everything
is going to be this. I don't.
Speaker 8 (10:03):
I don't want to say this clean and simple. The
reality was it wasn't clean and simple. It wasn't risk free.
I mean, and it was a lot of work and
it took months to do this. But the reality is
there is a path no offensive past presidents, but there
is a path between being Obama and Biden and trying
to appease every evildoer in the world.
Speaker 3 (10:26):
And ask them to eat you last. And you know
this kind of overly.
Speaker 8 (10:30):
Ambitious uh, you know Bush thing about well, we're going
to make the world safe by essentially kind of you know,
fixing the world.
Speaker 3 (10:40):
I mean, there's a path, and the middle path is.
Speaker 8 (10:42):
Be pragmatic, be practical, and put your interests first. And
and uh, you know Trump has done that. Uh and
uh and I.
Speaker 3 (10:52):
Think really demonstrated that.
Speaker 5 (10:56):
Well.
Speaker 8 (10:56):
First of all, I love the conservative movement. I love
that there were people that were nervous, they're unhappy. In
the fact, some of the president's biggest critics, we're actually
super happy when he attacked around and some of his
greatest friends were like, oh my god, I can't believe it.
Speaker 3 (11:11):
That rug.
Speaker 8 (11:11):
But the reality is we are the Conservative is a
big practice movement. Which is our strength, right, It's the
ability to debate these things because we all have ought
to have a vote and what we think is really important.
But then we pick a leader and how to put this,
but we have a lot to embraces. The best of us.
Speaker 2 (11:33):
I do know how to put it, and that is
and it's the hell that I have witnessed, that is
your life and job. That people don't think about foreign
policy until we're in a crisis, and that's too late.
So we're ignorant of foreign policy. This is a four
thousand year conflict and a four decade failure. And finally
somebody did And I could play a quotes from Hillary
(11:54):
to Barack did what we've known to do and failed
to do for four decades.
Speaker 4 (11:59):
But the American people, we're.
Speaker 2 (12:00):
Busy with all our little fight djours and then we
want to act like we understand enemies and foreign policy
in a crisis situation and we don't get it. Thank god,
we did get enough to elect the right person. I
want to answer your other question too, is the answered
if you're China and Russia, be quiet and lay low.
Speaker 4 (12:19):
Until you get a Democrat president again.
Speaker 8 (12:22):
Right, which may maybe a while, but I mean that
would be that would be my advice, right, because neither
one of those guys has a great you know hand either.
Speaker 3 (12:34):
I mean, it's not like they're carrying four races.
Speaker 8 (12:36):
I mean the Russians, the Russian economy has peaked, or
war making capacity as peaked.
Speaker 3 (12:43):
They're facing very difficult decisions they had. They're not winning
in Ukraine. I mean they're not even winning on their ground.
Speaker 2 (12:52):
Uh.
Speaker 8 (12:53):
The the Iran there is capacity to actually help them
is completely diminished. The Chinese economy has its own issues.
Neither one of these guys can really afford to take
on the United States if if they're playing a guy,
you know, if they're playing a team that has the right.
Speaker 2 (13:13):
Coach, right and agreement, you know, final minute.
Speaker 3 (13:18):
No. I just want to do is we are not
that there's no hoopers here. We're not perfect, we're not
all powerful.
Speaker 8 (13:24):
We can't do everything, but we have a president who
understands our strength and weaknesses and knows how to use
our strengths and safeguard are you know, safeguard the parts.
Speaker 3 (13:32):
Of their week that is the worst possible enemy to fight. Uh.
Speaker 2 (13:36):
Closing moments with James Carafano, all right, so what's left
at NATO?
Speaker 3 (13:39):
Real quick? Oh, it's going to.
Speaker 8 (13:42):
Be in and out five percent. Everybody's gonna agree to it.
We're over and we're out of there. And Trump basically
have achieved exactly what he what he said we need
to do ten years ago, which is NATOR needs to
stand up and provide a level defense.
Speaker 3 (13:56):
That matches the threats that we face. And there and
and they're going to do that, even.
Speaker 4 (14:00):
A nocean away. You're always there for us.
Speaker 2 (14:02):
Lietenant, Colonel James Grifonald read his great work and his
colleagues great work at Heritage dot org. All right, have
a great visit and hel Sinki. We'll talk next week.
Speaker 1 (14:09):
It's your morning show with Michael del Chorno.
Speaker 4 (14:13):
All right, A lot's happened.
Speaker 2 (14:14):
The president on social media announced the ceasefire. Ceenn tried
to make you think it wasn't real and something Trump
just mistakenly said, then Iran then Israel both agreed the
ceasefire agreement had taken place, and then they continued to
bomb each other. President's not happy with either. Read me
to comment off the ear that I think is really
(14:35):
worth repeating, and that is people always overread how tough
Donald Trump is on Ukraine and in particular Zelensky. Frankly,
though I do disagree with you a little bit.
Speaker 3 (14:48):
Read.
Speaker 2 (14:48):
I think he wants Ukraine to survive and win. I
don't know that he wants Zelensky to be the leader
when they do. But but yeah, there's this notion that
you're tougher on your friends. You expect Russia to misbehave,
you expect Iran to misbehave. But I just took out
your nuclear threat sitting in Iran. Now listen to me
and stop the bombing. President with very strong words for
(15:10):
Israel and Iran for the cease fire. Meanwhile, you have
the discrediting of all the left, whether it's AOC Bernie Jasmine, CNNMSNBC,
the Atlantic, all their narratives of war mongering all shot down,
like the nuclear stockpile and the scientists who are working
(15:31):
on them before it even gets off the ground.
Speaker 4 (15:34):
They've been trumped again. You think they learn their lesson.
They die on another false narrative hill. But what do
narratives always die of reality? Of course, Ben Chairman, he's
going to have it handed to him on Capitol Hill today.
And it looks like the New York jury in the
sex crime trial of p Diddy Combs is going to
start deliberating by the end of the week. I don't
(15:55):
know that they've made a case scumbag, yes, but trafficking,
I don't know that they've made it.
Speaker 2 (16:00):
That's gonna be an interesting reaction from America when the
results come in.
Speaker 3 (16:05):
Good morning, guys.
Speaker 7 (16:06):
This is Jeff in Pleasant View, Tennessee, and my morning
show is your Morning Show with Michael Dale Jorno.
Speaker 4 (16:18):
Hi, I'm Michael.
Speaker 1 (16:18):
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 at 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.
Speaker 2 (16:35):
It's been a busy morning. I have turned off the gas.
I have turned off the water supply to the hot
water heater. This is an exciting moment for me in
my home Elitit. I have three new air conditioners, I
have two new decks, I have a new roof, all
new windows. I looked at Andrew, I said, well, there's
nothing left to break but the water heater. I should
just replace it. And so we've been waiting on a
(16:58):
refrigerator that won't break in a hot water heater that
just broke. Benjamin Franklin's on the way. We'll get that
in and get that done. I have crisis averted off
the air on the air well. We've talked about how
long this has been going on and the flawlessness of
the pre planning. The first to take out the houthis
now there is a couple of unanswered questions in all
(17:18):
of this, which is the same intelligence in Israel that
took out six scientists, that took out the Revolutionary Guard
command leadership and its replacement and the Iranian equivalent of
a Joint Chief of Staff and set the table for
air superiority for us to finish the job with the
bunker Busters. This all begins with taking out the Houthis
(17:42):
and Hamas, and that was in retaliation for an invasion
where America had no president or whoever was behind the
auto pen But that one unanswered question out loud is
are we to believe that the same intelligence in Israel
that carried out what it carried out on Iranian soil
(18:03):
didn't see that invasion coming. That's too hard to even
think about, and that may even tickle some nine to
eleven conspiracy theorists.
Speaker 4 (18:12):
But taking it for.
Speaker 2 (18:13):
What it is at face value, flawlessly taking out their
surrogates Hesba, lah A, Moss, the Houthies, so they didn't
have that for retaliation, the taking out of command and scientists,
and then the taking out of these facilities in the
final takeout from the United States. It's it's all very,
very remarkable, and it'll be won't be seen as such
(18:37):
in real time by a media and a matrix that
is dead, but they'll teach it more colleges for years
to come in its significant So now yesterday we get
the news of a cease fire and the president does
it on true social That's interesting in and of itself.
He just had a message for Israel on truth social
while he's on a plane headed to a NATO summit.
(18:58):
But the President announced, congratulations to everyone. It has been
fully agreed by by and between Israel and Iran that
there will be a complete and total ceasefire in approximately
six hours from now, where we're some eleven hours into
that now, and Israel and Iran will wind down and
complete their progress and final missions for twelve hours, at
(19:20):
which time the war will be considered ended officially. Iran
will start the ceasefire, and upon the twelfth hour, Israel,
we'll start the ceasefire. Well, the President, with very strong
words before leaving for the NATO summit, especially for Israel,
even dropped an f bomb. But he wants it over,
and he has the credibility to say that for what
he's done to defend Israel, now he wants it over.
(19:41):
He expects shenanigans from Iran, just like he expects shenanigans
from Russia with dealing with Ukraine, but he doesn't expect
it from our allies that we have defended and invested
well in. So then on the plane he says, if
you've got planes in the air, you better return them
to the ground. So the President clearly wasn't interested in
(20:01):
an entanglement, clearly wasn't interested in escalating this into war
for profit, and he clearly wasn't interested in nation building.
Speaker 4 (20:12):
He took out the threat. Now he wants both to
stop it.
Speaker 2 (20:17):
The leftist anti Trump narratives all dead before they ever
get off the ground. And if you on the right
that have lost a lot of credibility, that's kind of
getting you up to speed on what's happening. Can't have
your morning show without your voice, so I want to
give you guys the chance to exhale in comment as well.
Speaker 4 (20:35):
I think we're going to start with Big John.
Speaker 9 (20:40):
Another great important interview by the Lieutenant colonel right there, Michael.
Great job he explained everything so simply to everyone and
put us at rest.
Speaker 4 (20:55):
Great job again, thanks.
Speaker 2 (20:57):
I thought, what was interesting is, you know, yeah story.
We got off the air and I was in awe
of the military strike and the achievement, the secrecy, the sophistication,
the flawless execution, the precision and the result. I was concerned,
all right, so now what's Iran going to do? My
(21:20):
gut was, there's nothing left for them to do. Their
scientists are gone, their commanders are gone, they've almost depleted
all of their ballistic missile capabilities. Their nuclear programs kicked
back to day one. So now through proxies where the
only concern I had was on American soil, and so
we were kicking around numbers. Some fifteen hundred and something
(21:41):
Iranians broke into the country. Seven hundred and something of
them were allowed to just enter the country and were
freed into the country during the Biden administration. Are those
sleeper cells? Will they act? May they still? I don't know. Then,
of course my next I wasn't concerned about the era
world in the Muslim world, because I think the President
of preset that up with the visit in Saudi Arabia
(22:04):
as well as and Qatar. But I had some concerns
with Russia and China, and they both stayed on the sidelines,
and dissidents were seen in Russia. They clearly got an
answer of we're not going to do anything. Well at
that point, your checkmate, And I think that's what James
Carafana was laying out. They'll teach this in war college,
(22:26):
they'll teach this in leadership college. What the president has
achieved in six months that the leaders for decades failed
to do in a four thousand year conflict they failed
to understand is remarkable compared to his predecessors and should
be remembered as such.
Speaker 4 (22:46):
I threw him because I think the visual is so powerful.
Whether it was.
Speaker 2 (22:49):
Biden or whoever was running the White House, they sent
a plane full of cash, he sent a fleet full
of B two bombers and removed the threat once and
for all.
Speaker 4 (22:58):
It's pretty remarkable.
Speaker 2 (23:00):
And now he's demanding peace and a stopping of the
of the of the attacks, with very harsh words for Israel.
He wants this twelfth Hour to be silent and by
the time he lands, I don't know if I'm in
the right order, but Blaine in Iowa, it's where I
have me going next.
Speaker 4 (23:18):
Blaine, Good morning, Michael.
Speaker 10 (23:20):
The failure of the citizenry is also the failure of schools.
They're not teaching history anymore, they're not teaching civics, they're
not teaching home ch they're not teaching even simple math.
And as far as the form disgrace President, he couldn't
start a war. He probably could barely start his corvette. Anyway,
you guys, have a good day. I kind of knew
(23:40):
this was going to happen. I didn't think the peace
thing was going to happen this fast, but I knew
darn well it would take the gbus to do this.
Speaker 2 (23:45):
Yeah, the comment is basically about somebody said, you know,
we played a piece of audio and again, you know,
you got to understand, Bernie Sanders would have been the
Democratic nominee twice twenty sixteen and twenty twenty, probably could
have done it again in twenty twenty four, but they
didn't give.
Speaker 4 (24:03):
Him that chance.
Speaker 2 (24:03):
They just handed all of Joe's delegates straight to Kamala
Harris of the Clinton apparatus. But they they don't have
any credibility today. And it's obvious that Bernie's passed the
mantled AOC. AOC has passed her mantle to Jasmin Crockett.
We played the audio of Jasmine Crockett. Now, the point
(24:25):
of it was how unseerious these people are. They're just
they're not an opposition party, They're just an obstructive anti
American force and pure Trump arrangement and hate. But if
Bernie had his way, if AOC had her way, if
Jasmine had her way, if CNN, MSNBC, The Atlantic, ABC,
NBCCBS had their way, where would we be today, They'd
(24:48):
still be a nuclear threat. They lose all credibility. They're
unserious people in a serious time. And we we talked about,
you know, why is it so hard for everybody to,
you know, just see good and see evil root for good?
Why do we always want to find ourselves as the enemy.
(25:12):
And then we talked about the indoctrinating effort of K
through twelve and higher education, and I think that's what
Blame was commenting on. And yeah, they don't teach civics,
and they've rewritten history and they try to rewrite reality
with media bias. But media bias is exposed. Journalism is dead.
The matrix has been exposed and it's dying. Opposition voices
are not being silenced thanks to Elon Musk's investment. A
(25:35):
lot of the apparatus they had to pull off. What
they pulled off, they can't pull off anymore. And so
kind of like the Wizard of Oz after total pulls
the curt and everybody sees it, but they don't stop
making idiots out of themselves. I mean, really, Senator Kennedy
has it right. They just got to try harder not
to suck, but woke too far in COVID was too
(25:57):
far and that broke the K through twelve stranglehold. But
the same point, whether it's Jasmine Crockett or your school board,
whatever you're seeing is what you've allowed. This is not
a failure of members of Congress. This is a failure
of the citizenry. And that's what Plane was commenting on.
Let's go to Katka in Oklahoma City and Shannon hoping to.
Speaker 11 (26:17):
Keep getting missed in this strike. It didn't just blow
up machinery, all of his people, all of the minds
and the scientists that he had, or that Iran had
that was working on their nuclear program, they're gone.
Speaker 3 (26:39):
It's over.
Speaker 4 (26:41):
Well, we've been talking about it. In fact, that was
the intelligence feat unseen on the ground, the precision targeting
of Israel. I mean, we're talking about a scientists taken
out at his desk and the lobby's still intact. I mean,
it was pretty remarkable. We don't know what the bunker.
Speaker 2 (27:00):
Usters took out in those facilities, but we know that
there's six top scientists are gone. We know that many
of their commanders in the Islamic Revolutionary Guard as well
as the Iranian military have been taken out and they're
almost out of ballistic missiles and their nuclear programs. At
day one, it's been a start to finish, very successful mission.
I don't know why that's so hard for all of
America to appreciate it. I don't forgot what you were
(27:20):
calling it. But to South Dakota we go.
Speaker 12 (27:23):
If I was in Helsinki right now when Trump lands
in the attitude I see, I'd have the best big
Mac that ever was made in an ice cold diet
coke waiting for him.
Speaker 2 (27:39):
Well, here's an eight second quote the President had, and
this was a message for both Iran and Israel.
Speaker 6 (27:46):
We basically have two countries that have been fighting so
long and so hard that they don't know what the
diding and pretty much pretty.
Speaker 4 (27:55):
Much stubs it up.
Speaker 5 (27:56):
And I don't know if.
Speaker 2 (27:57):
A woper with cheese will solve that, But yeah, I
think i'd have some McDonald's, well wapero cheese's burkey. I'd
have a big Mac and a chocolate check waiting for
him with an extra large fry.
Speaker 4 (28:10):
This is your Morning Show with Michael del Chrono.
Speaker 2 (28:14):
Well, you all know the latest down the cease fire
and the President's strong words for Israel and Iran to
make it so and immediately before he lands. What's another news, Well,
the Supreme Court is allowing the Trump administration to deport
convicted criminals to so called third countries.
Speaker 4 (28:32):
Another court victory.
Speaker 7 (28:33):
If puts a hold on a Federral judge's ruling that
said that those being deported should have a chance to
bring claims that they would be at risk of persecution
or death if sent to the countries. All three liberal
judges on the court dissented that White House can now
send the migrants to places like South Sudan.
Speaker 2 (28:48):
A Mark Neefield well, the sales have previously owned homes
rose slightly in May to an annual rate of just
over four million units.
Speaker 4 (28:54):
Scott Carr has more.
Speaker 13 (28:56):
The National Association of Realtors reports existing home sales edged
up by eight tenths of a percent for the month,
but we're still lower compared to May of last year.
Housing analysts were predicting a one percent decline as mortgage
rates remain relatively high. The median sale price last month
was nearly four hundred and twenty three thousand dollars for
(29:16):
a single family home, as home prices hit another record High.
I'm Scott Carr in Washington.
Speaker 2 (29:23):
Bad Company co founder Mick Raufs is dead at the
age of ninety one. As representatives confirmed his death on Monday,
but no cause was announced. He wrote it songs for
Bad Company like Can't Get Enough, feel like Making Love.
Frontman Paul Rodgers said his heart is hit the ground
and that Mick left us with exceptional songs and memories.
I think my favorite was Superstar. Johnny made a recording
(29:46):
straight up to them Shooting Star.
Speaker 4 (29:47):
Good.

Birthdays Linel Messi argu the best soccer player of his day,
thirty eight years old. Today Fleetwood Max Mick Fleetwood seventy eight.
If it's your birthday, Happy birthday. Were so glad you
were born? All right, let's wrap things up with the
very latest on the conflict in the Middle East. Our
national correspondent Roory O'Neil is joining us. The President was
strong words on the ground and then from the air,
(30:17):
and primarily directed at Israel.
Speaker 4 (30:19):
Good morning, Ry, Good morning.
Speaker 14 (30:22):
He's a bit frustrated with Israel that for launching one
last flory of attacks on the Iranian capital of Tehran
as the Seaspire was beginning. The President disappointed in that,
also disappointed that Israel was sort of saber rattling. After
one missile was launched by Iran after the Seaspire began,
(30:42):
it was intercepted, but Israel said they'd be striking Tehran again.
The President frustrated by that, apparently calling Prime Minister net
and Yahoo having what's been described as a stern conversation, Yes, and.
Speaker 4 (30:56):
A dropping of an F bob for both of them
stand out. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (31:00):
You know, Red brought up something off the air that
I thought was very interesting. You know, it's often perceived
that the President's being hard on Zelensky and Ukraine, but
the truth of the matter is he expects more like
he expects Iran and Russia to misbehave. But when we
take a stand and we invest and stand by our
friends like Ukraine and Israel, we expect them to behave
(31:23):
at a higher level. And I think that's why there's
a consistency there. But that's why there's a harsher tone
for bb Net Yahoo, I just took out this threat.
Speaker 4 (31:32):
Now stop the nonsense. It was pretty clear. Couldn't be
more clear?
Speaker 14 (31:35):
Yeah, I think it's more of a you owe me
kind this time saying hey, look, I just well, the
President expended a lot of political capital. Now he's got
trouble in his own maga base. I mean it's not
going to end things, but you know it's causing him
political strife at a time he's trying to get the
big beautiful bill over the finish line. The last thing
he needs is falling out with a few members of Congress, all.
Speaker 2 (31:58):
Right, presuming this piece hole. So I think it will.
I mean, Iron's got nowhere else to go. What becomes
the mission of NATO. We were talking Lieutenant Colonel James Tarafano.
He thinks it is going to be a pretty quick meeting,
everybody paying their fair share. I would imagine the focus
has the luxury of solidifying this being over. Nobody did
(32:19):
get involved with Iran, and everybody's stay uninvolved and now
focus on Russia and Ukraine.
Speaker 14 (32:26):
Well, you know, I'm not much of a movie guy, right,
I've totally I don't really watch a lot of movies.
But I'm right now imagining Saturday Night Fever John Travolta
strutting down the highway or the sidewalk there. And I
think that's how Donald Trump is going to walk into NATO, going, hey, guys,
see what I did in two weeks that you guys
couldn't do in all these years. So I think there's
going to be a bit of a victory lap for
(32:47):
the president if this cease fire holds through his time
there anyway. And then look, they've also got to refocus
on this Ukraine situation, especially, you know, we're still expecting
a strong attack by Russia into Ukraine this summer.
Speaker 2 (33:02):
Yeah, and don't touch the hair. I guess it would be
the last Saturday Night Live reference. Great reporting as always, Rory,
Thank you. You know that is a great final point.
Rory is making. Yes, the clear and present danger and
the threat to the region and the world. More importantly,
the most predictable threat to the world has been removed.
(33:25):
And when you're sitting at NATO, no other country removed
this threat. Six maybe previous presidents, including one who created
it and one who paid it off Booke ending they didn't.
Speaker 4 (33:37):
Do anything Donald Trump did.
Speaker 2 (33:41):
I think the most deafening, compelling thing that Lieutenant Colonel
James Carafounal brought up is if you're China or Russia,
what do you think the message is to them? Yeah,
street cred is high for Donald Trump arriving at NATO.
Well that'll do it for today.
Speaker 4 (33:57):
We're all in this together. This is your Morning Show
with Michael del journe.
