Speaker 1 (00:00):
Good morning, Cooner.
Speaker 2 (00:03):
Contrary. Okay, my friends, a very important show today. Developments
now in the Middle East have reached clearly a watershed moment.
So here is now exactly what is taking place over
the last forty eight to seventy two hours, as you've
been watching on television screens across the country and frankly
(00:25):
across the world. Israel and Iran now are in a
full fledged war. Israel now has attained complete air superiority
air dominance, which is now giving them a massive advantage.
They are now pounding government buildings all across Tehran, the
(00:47):
capital of Iran. They are hitting military facilities, nuclear installations.
They are now pounding the Mullahs almost into submission. In fact,
yesterday it was confirmed by both Trump, the Israelis and
the Iranians that the Mullahs have sent through intermediaries now
(01:10):
messages to talk. Now they want to negotiate. They now
they're willing to talk. Netanyahu has said no way, he
wants to finish the job and deliver the knockout blow.
Speaker 1 (01:26):
Now.
Speaker 2 (01:26):
The problem is this, as Israeli missiles and warplanes continue
to strike target after target after target, there is no
question they are degrading Iran's military. They have decapitated their
military leadership. They are now pounding key installations without question.
(01:51):
Now about a third of Iran's missile launchers have already
been destroyed. They continue at this rag of attrition. Iran
will not be able. They can have all the ballistic
missiles in the world. If you don't have the missile
launchers to fire them, they're useless. They're basically stuck on
(02:12):
the ground. Now Iran is pummeling Israel with a barrage
of missile strikes, night after night after night. The Iron Dome,
Israel's missile defense system has shot down many of these
Iranian ballistic missiles, but not all of them. They are
(02:33):
getting through. They are hitting Israeli civilians in Tel Aviv
in particular, but also in Haifa and in other towns
across northern and central Israel. Israeli civilians are now being killed.
Tel Aviv in particular is taking some significant damage. So
(02:55):
Israel now wants to finish this war as quickly as possible.
They want to degrade Iran's ability to ever develop the
nuclear bomb, and ultimately to destroy and end that ability
once and for all. The question now is what will
the United States do. And the key issue this is
(03:19):
the key issue, is that Netanyahu has said he's gonna
give this campaign about another two weeks pretty much. He
believes by two weeks they will have destroyed or annihilated
enough of Iran's nuclear military capability that they will have
essentially have neutralized the Iranian nuclear threat. However, there are
(03:46):
several Iranian nuclear enrichment sites, and these are the key
sites that are giving them this. The centrifuges and the
materials to build a nuclear bomb that are buried deep underground,
in fact, deep underneath mountains. The key one is four
(04:09):
dough FRDW. Please look it up yourself. It is in
many ways the heart of Iran's nuclear enrichment program. It
is buried very deep underground. The only way to guarantee
the destruction of four Doeaux is to use these penetrating bombs,
(04:33):
these bunker busting bombs that can smash through almost half
a mile into the earth, and to have the right
bombers to deliver them. Israel does not have these bunker
busting bombs.
Speaker 1 (04:49):
We do.
Speaker 2 (04:50):
Israel does not have the bombers to deliver these huge,
penetrating bunker busting bombs.
Speaker 1 (04:57):
We do.
Speaker 2 (04:59):
And the question now is will Donald Trump provide Israel
the bunker busters and the bombers needed to deliver the
decisive knockout blow that netting Yahu and in some ways
Trump both want or will the United States just do
(05:21):
it themselves?
Speaker 3 (05:23):
I e.
Speaker 2 (05:23):
Now formally join Israel in this attack and come in
with our bombers, dropping our bust our bunker busting bombs
and then wipe out Netans, Isaphan and four Dough. Those
are the three key nuclear enrichment facilities, especially four Dough
(05:48):
because it is so deep underneath the mountain. In other words,
they don't want Iran to survive this bombing strike, this
air campaign with some of its nuclear pro impact.
Speaker 1 (06:01):
Why here's why.
Speaker 2 (06:04):
Yesterday Iran formally pulled out of the nuclear non Proliferation treaty.
That means now they are racing for the bomb. This
is now a sprint. Their country is under attack. The
regime is very vulnerable. They are very worried now that
these devastating and they are devastating air and missile strikes
(06:30):
could literally bring the people out on the streets and
this brutal Islamist theocracy can be overthrown they need a
fundamental game changer to change the momentum of this war.
Getting or acquiring the bomb changes everything. And so now
(06:51):
Iran is sprinting to get a nuclear bomb before they
are completely and utterly decapitated and destroyed, the regime destroyed
by Israel, with the United States helping Israel. So now
Netanyahu and Trump have a fundamental decision to make. How
(07:13):
far do you go? How deep do you go? And
should the United States now get formally involved. Yesterday at
the G seven summit, President Trump left the G seven early.
They're still They're still talking at the G seven on trade,
(07:34):
on Russia, on Ukraine, on many other issues. Trump left
the G seven early to come back to Washington, DC.
He has now called for his National Security Council to
meet with him in the situation room. Something big is
about to happen. And then Trump issued a dire warning,
(07:59):
a die warning to the Mullahs on true social as
he told them, you should have taken the deal when
I offered it to you. Now look at the shameful,
wasteful loss of life. He's now telling them they can never,
as he put it in caps, you will never be
(08:22):
allowed to get a nuclear weapon. So and then came
the dire warning. He told everybody in Tehran evacuate, leave immediately.
Now because of this, they were already fleeing in droves.
(08:43):
But because now of this warning and it has made
its way throughout Iran, believe me, everybody has gotten the message.
The roads, byways, highways out of Iran are clogged, congested
with cars. People are desperately trying to flee Tehran. They
(09:07):
now know that this war is going to enter now
a much bigger, more escalatory, and much more potentially dangerous
and lethal face. People now are pouring out of Tehran.
So the question now is what is President Trump planning
to do? What is he going to join the war formerly,
(09:33):
is he going to hand over these huge bunker busters
and heavy bombers to the Israelis what? Or does he
know that Netnyahu has something planned and he's trying to
save as many civilian lives as possible. That is now
the sixty four thousand dollars question. Listen now to Trump
(09:53):
asked about have you seen any signals or heard anything
that Iran now wants to de escalate the conflict? Listen
to his answer, Roll cut one, Mike.
Speaker 3 (10:08):
Have you heard any signals or seen any messages from intermediaries.
Speaker 4 (10:12):
That Iran wishes to de escalate the conflict.
Speaker 3 (10:15):
Yeah, what if what have you heard?
Speaker 2 (10:17):
What if you heard from the Iranians they'd.
Speaker 5 (10:19):
Like to talk, but they should have done that before.
I had sixty days and they had sixty days. And
on the sixty first day, I said, we don't have
a deal. They have to make a deal.
Speaker 6 (10:30):
And it's painful for both parties. But I'd say Iran
is not winning this war and they should talk, and
they should talk immediately before it's too late.
Speaker 7 (10:41):
And what would you say, in your opinion, what would
it take for the US to get involved in this
conflict militarily?
Speaker 5 (10:48):
I don't want to talk about that.
Speaker 8 (10:49):
Well, you mention.
Speaker 2 (10:51):
So basically, he's keeping his cards very close to his vest.
He's not going to say we're not getting involved. He's
not saying we are getting involved. What should the United
States do now? That is the question, and in particular,
what should the president? What should President Trump do? Okay,
breaking news, as I mentioned just at the end of
(11:12):
my opening monologue, Israel now has ordered three hundred thousand
Iranians to flee the capital city of Tehran to evacuate.
So something big is coming. President Trump yesterday tweeted out
very late in the evening saying Tehran should be evacuated immediately.
(11:38):
So obviously now they're going to drop. We don't know
exactly what, but this war now is going to go
to a different phase. It is going to blow. It
is going to get big. And the question now is
how far is Israel willing to go to win this war?
And how far should the United States go to help
Israel win this war. The military commander, this is the
(12:04):
top man running Iran's war, has now been confirmed to
have been assassinated by Israel Ali Shadmani is now dead.
This is on top of about fourteen other top senior
intelligence military leaders, including the head of the Republican the
(12:30):
Republican National Guard, which is the shock troops, the spear
of the Iranian military. So it looks like Israel now
is methodically just grinding down and slowly but surely cutting
off the head of the entire military and intelligence infrastructure
(12:52):
and network within Iran. Now, as all of this is
going on behind the scenes, Nahu is now pleading with
Trump to give him the bunker busters, these big penetrating
bombs that can smash deep underground all of the remaining
(13:14):
nuclear enrichment sites, especially at four Doho that the Iranians have.
He believes this will make these the mission a complete
and utter strategic victory, and that this will end Iran's threat,
its nuclear threat to the Israel, to the region, and
to the world for the next generation. The question is now,
(13:38):
should the United States provide direct military assistance? Should they
give Israel these bunker busters and the bombers to drop them?
Speaker 1 (13:49):
Israel does not have them. We do.
Speaker 2 (13:52):
Six one seven two, six, six, sixty eight sixty eight
is the number listen now to be Benjamin Netanyahu.
Speaker 1 (14:02):
He gave an.
Speaker 2 (14:05):
Interview with Fox newses Brett Baer, and he said, we
decided to launch this operation for two reasons. One we
our intelligence showed us that they were several months away
from the critical what's called breakout phase, that they would
(14:25):
have enough centrifuges, enough uranium enriched at a certain level
that would give them the clear path to acquiring the
nuclear bomb, And that they were planning now to build
and develop and produce hundreds of ballistic missiles a month.
Faced with that dual threat and with the nuclear negotiations
(14:49):
at an impasse with the Americans our side not making
any headway with the Iranians in talks after talks, after talks,
said President Trump said, let's give him two months. I said, okay,
he said, But it was clear after sixty days the
Mullahs were just stringing the Americans along. We were running
(15:11):
out of time. At the twelfth hour, we struck roll
cut six.
Speaker 1 (15:18):
Mike, why did you launch this operation now?
Speaker 9 (15:25):
Because we were facing an imminent threat, a dual existential threat. One,
the threat of Iran rushing to weaponize. They're enrich uranium
to make atomic bombs for the specific and declared intent
to destroy US. Second, a rush to increase their ballistic
missile arsenal into the capacity that they would have thirty
(15:46):
six hundred weapons a year, new weapons within three years,
ten thousand ballistic missiles, each one weighing a ton, coming
in at mock six right into our cities as you
saw today, and then in twenty six years, twenty thousand.
That's a no country I can sustain that, and certainly
not a country the size of Israel.
Speaker 2 (16:07):
In other words, the Iranians were on a military build
up combined with this push for the bomb that basically
forced Israel's hand. As he put it, this was an
existential threat. I saw the opportunity. I seized it. It's
now or never. Listen now to BB saying, I waited
(16:28):
and waited and waited until I literally could not wait
any longer.
Speaker 1 (16:34):
Roll cut six B, Mike else Gabarn testified, Sorry.
Speaker 2 (16:39):
Sorry, Mike, my bad, my bad. Roll cut six A.
That was my mistake, six A, Mike.
Speaker 9 (16:46):
So we had to act. Was the twelfth hour. We
did act to save ourselves, but also I think to
not only protect ourselves, but protect the world from this
incendiary regime. We can't have the world's most dangerous regime,
have the world's most dangerous weapons or protecting ourselves, but
by doing so, we're protecting many others.
Speaker 1 (17:06):
Okay, let me ask all of you. This is now.
Speaker 2 (17:09):
The world is now at a critical watershed. The region
is at a critical watershed, the entire Middle East, and
Trump's presidency is at a critical critical watershed. Tucker Carlson
and I'm going to get to this later, but Tucker
Carlson and many of his staunchest supporters in the MAGA
(17:30):
movement are now saying that Trump has caused a schism
in the MAGA movement that he has betrayed MAGA and
America first by openly supporting Israel's attack on Tehran. He's
now urging Trump back away. Have nothing to do with
(17:50):
what Israel is doing. You have Lindsey Graham now saying
the United States should go all in and normally join
Israel's attack on Iran.
Speaker 1 (18:03):
Six one seven two.
Speaker 2 (18:05):
Six six sixty eight sixty eight is the number. Okay,
my friends. In many ways, it now all comes down
to this, what should Israel do? And more importantly, what
should the United States and President Trump do? Six one
seven two six six sixty eight sixty eight. Dave, our
(18:26):
Western PA constitutionalist correspondent, and what it's a different Dave?
Speaker 1 (18:32):
My bad?
Speaker 2 (18:32):
All right, sorry, let me to our our Western PA
constitutionalist correspondent. My apologies, Dave, Dave in Pa. Thanks for
holding Dave and welcome.
Speaker 7 (18:47):
Good morning.
Speaker 8 (18:48):
Hi you're gonta give you an add.
Speaker 1 (18:53):
Dave.
Speaker 7 (18:53):
Hell, Yes, you broke up.
Speaker 1 (18:56):
Yeah, Dave, you broke up on us. Can you start
from the beginning, please.
Speaker 7 (19:00):
Trump's whole Trump's whole deal is no more loss of
human life, no involvement of American troops. No one's talking
about the long term strategy. You have Iranian citizens that
didn't sign up for what's going on, but they were
born into what's going on. So you have a younger
generation of Iranians that want out of this. Trump has
(19:22):
signaled in the past. Look, your country has resources that
can earn the country of Iran peace and prosperity and
growth instead of funding terrorism worldwide. So if Iran's out
of the picture, no funding to Hamas Hasbla or the hoodies.
And I'm going through this real quick, but think about this.
(19:43):
Sixty days he gave them the Mullas, not Yahoo, has
signaled that we're going to take the Mullas out as
in be assassinated. If there's a regime change in Iran
where there's an uprising, which they've had the past, but
no support from democratic administrations. If they have a regime
(20:07):
change and then the Mullas are out of the picture,
they can bring in either American or UN inspectors to
dismantle those facilities without dropping a single bomb. If they
do strike those facilities and there's nuclear uh, there's contamination,
(20:29):
You're gonna risk contamination from it from those facilities. So
let's see if we can do this without dropping a
big bomb from doing it internally. Once those Mullas are
out of the picture, there's gonna be there's gonna be
a big change in Iran because there won't be those
(20:51):
people won't be under that thumb anymore. I think that's
the long term goal that no one's talking about.
Speaker 2 (20:58):
Well, Dave, there's no question. Both Trump and bb have
said they'd prefer regime change. They said, there's no question.
But how do I say this. There's been multiple green
movements over the last twenty years. They were betrayed by Obama,
they were betrayed by Biden both times. And there's only
(21:20):
and you know, my wife and I were talking about
this in any society, I'm not just talking about Iran.
In any society, there is only a small percentage of
the people that have the patriotism, the bravery, the courage,
the willingness to put their lives on the line and
(21:43):
lead a movement of opposition and dissent. Most people, and
that applies to every country, every culture, every society. They
go along to get along. That's just how most people are.
So yeah, it's easy for us to say, and I
agree with you in theory. You're completely right. You get
rid of the mullas you solve the problem. The problem
(22:05):
is they've already crushed these huge democratic movements, not once,
but twice, in fact, three times. They've murdered all the leaders,
they've imprisoned all the others. So there's a sense anyran
now of utter exhaustion and fatigue they have in sense,
(22:26):
they've broken the pro democracy movement. So what I'm saying
is there's only a finite number of people in any
country that are willing to risk everything to overthrow a backward,
repressive government. So we don't know if we have the
people on the ground who are willing to organize and
(22:47):
willing to overthrow these brutal, barbaric mullahs. That's why you
don't leave something like this the chance. That's why Netanyahu's
argument is, and I think it's a very good one. Look,
we've got the regime now on the ropes. I mean,
I don't know, Dave, if you saw what happened yet.
They literally targeted Iran's entire media institution, their state television
(23:12):
network Live as one of these broadcasters, it was a
woman basically almost covered head to toe, was in a
diatribe about death to America, death to Israel, death to
the Jews, were winning the war, blah blah blah. And
a missile hit the building directly, and you see the
debris falling on top of her, and she desperately runs
(23:36):
away in fleece. And so the Irange people are looking
at this and they're stunned because now a major organ
that the regime has used to broadcast its propaganda, its lies,
has now been destroyed by Israel. They're cutting off their
ability to even communicate with their own people. So the
(23:57):
regime is militarily now being slowly dismantled. Their nuclear scientists
are being wiped out, their nuclear facilities are being smashed
and shattered. There's a couple of them left that are
deep underground. Otherwise, the Mullahs are in trouble and their
(24:18):
population is fleeing.
Speaker 1 (24:21):
They are running literally for the hills. Iran is full
of mountains.
Speaker 2 (24:25):
So at this point you don't know what the people
are gonna do, except they don't want to get killed.
So net Yahu's argument is finish the job. That's literally
what he's saying in private. Let's finish it one more
week and we could end the Iranian nuclear problem once
and for all. Final word to you, Dave.
Speaker 7 (24:47):
You're making my point.
Speaker 3 (24:50):
You made my point.
Speaker 7 (24:51):
If the maulers get dismantled, then that's the green light
for the green movement. The American Revolution was on supported
by about eight to sixteen percent of the population in
the seventeen hundreds, and now we have the United States
of America two hundred and fifty years later. So who's
(25:12):
not to say the same thing can't happen in.
Speaker 1 (25:14):
Iran Fingers crossed.
Speaker 7 (25:17):
If they're running to the hills, that's a green light
that they're on the ropes. I think that, Yeah, who's
gonna take them all out?
Speaker 3 (25:26):
But that's what's.
Speaker 7 (25:26):
Gonna happen, and they would be brilliant. We don't have
to have troops on the ground to do it. So
Trump's not portraying any promise and providing support without without
putting troops on the ground. There's nothing wrong with that.
So I just I just think people aren't seeing the
big picture. People will always fail to see the big picture.
Speaker 2 (25:49):
Well, Dave, yeah, Trump is threatening the needle right now.
He's helping Israel without committing American boots or American fighter jets.
So technically we're not a co belligerent, but we're doing
everything we can to help Israel. So it's a thin
line that he's walking. It's a tightrope, and he wants
(26:11):
to continue to walk that tightrope again. In fact, yesterday
again he said to the Mullas, look as everything is
being destroyed around you, as your country is crumbling, as
your military is crumbling, you sure you don't want to
make a peace deal?
Speaker 1 (26:26):
You sure? Because we can do this the hard way
or the easy way. It's up to you.
Speaker 2 (26:33):
So he's sticking to his track, but there's now pressure
building on both sides against him. Dave, thank you very
much for that call. I really appreciate it. Okay, so
just very quickly, this is the tweet now as they say,
or the social media post. It was on true social
(26:53):
that was heard around the world. Okay, So here it is.
This is what Trump wrote yesterday. Iran should have signed
the quote unquote deal I told them to sign. What
a shame and waste of human life. Simply stated, and
it says all in caps. Now Iran cannot have a
(27:16):
nuclear weapon. I said it over and over again. Everyone
should immediately evacuate Tehran.
Speaker 1 (27:27):
Okay.
Speaker 2 (27:28):
It is the Kooner country Pole Question of the Day
sponsored by Mario's Marios Quality siding, roofing and windows. Should
Trump have told the people of Tehran to evacuate? A
big debate about that that in some ways maybe he's
(27:49):
tipping the hand of the israelis tipping the hand of
what he may be planning to do. As well. Others
are saying, no, it's the right thing to do. If
your civilians could be killed, you want to, you know,
save save as many civilian lives as possible. And uh,
it's brutal psychological warfare. And I'll tell you this, they
(28:12):
are fleeing. You got to see the images now coming
out of Tehran. I mean that people are desperate to
get out of the capitol. The roads are blocked, clogged,
congested everywhere everywhere. It is bedlam now in Tehran. So
should Trump have told the people of Tehran to evacuate? A?
Speaker 1 (28:35):
Yes, B No.
Speaker 2 (28:39):
You can vote on our web page a w r
KO dot com slash cooner w r KO dot com
slash cooner kuh and as a national er as always,
you can vote on X and I'm very active on
X again. I was last night my handle there at
the Kuner report all one word.
Speaker 1 (29:00):
Kuh n r.
Speaker 2 (29:04):
Listen now, this is bb Net Niyahu is really prime minister.
He was on an international show and he says, you
want to know what my goal in Iran is? It's
very simple. Roll cut eight, Mike.
Speaker 4 (29:22):
You talked clearly about regime change as a goal to
this war. What do you mean by that? Well, how
can you reach this?
Speaker 9 (29:31):
I would say the goal is twofold to remove one
existential threat, the atomic threat. The second is the existential
threat of thousands and thousands of ballistic missiles. But the
consequence could be the result could be that the regime
will be shattered because what do they have? I mean,
what do they really have?
Speaker 2 (29:51):
So, in other words, shatter the regime and maybe the
people will rise up, pick up the pieces and overthrow
the mullas. But as he put it, look that's going
to be a consequence. It's not the primary goal or objective.
The primary goal an objective to destroy and degrade Iran's
(30:12):
ability to get a nuclear bomb and their ballistic missiles.
Listen to bb again. Now he's directly urging the Iranian people,
basically saying as far as he can go, rise up, Rise, up,
Rise up, and throw off the Ayatolas once and for all.
Speaker 1 (30:33):
Roll cut eight a mike.
Speaker 4 (30:37):
Can you please elaborate on that. How do you see
this leading to a regime change in Iran?
Speaker 9 (30:43):
Look, I think the regime works on terr You know it.
The people in Evon prisoner prisons know it. Every Ranian
citizen knows it. I mean, we know how they shoot people,
how they hang people from cranes, the horrible things that
they do. I don't have to tell you, you can tell me.
But this is all based on the image of invulnerability,
(31:03):
of unmatched power, and we're cutting that power down to size.
And I think this will have I think this will
have enormous consequences for good in our region, beyond our region,
but also in Iran itself. Alight has been lived. Carry
it to freedom, Carry it to freedom. It's up to
the people of Iran. And I think you will find
the time and the opportunity because I think the hour
(31:26):
of liberation is clear. Israel is known as the startup nation.
It may be it may be known as the we're
known as the innovation nation. You will be known as
the liberation.
Speaker 2 (31:37):
Nation, the liberation nation. In other words, the hour of
liberation is near. Maybe we shall see six one seven
two six six sixty eight sixty eight. Angelo in Rockland.
Thanks for holding Angelo.
Speaker 1 (31:53):
And welcome.
Speaker 8 (31:56):
Jeff.
Speaker 10 (31:56):
Good morning, high morning. So anyway, uh, you know, the
New World Order, along with the Rhinos, are trying to
empower the War Power Act to slow down the momentum
that we have over this nuclear threat for the Middle East,
let's call it. And I can't get over how they
(32:17):
want to support that country, support terrorism, and they infiltrated
our government and we have to stop it all. We
have to even start in our own government to weed
out these these radical implants, if you want to call it,
but it's unbelievable. You know, I would act before they
(32:39):
put the War Power Act into play because this is
a world world security threat and they would have no
problem pressing that button to try to eliminate Israel. And
thank god Netting they didn't get nothing but Yahoo out
of power there because they would have in a world
(33:00):
of trouble right now with this global global thought. And
I'm just grateful that Trump did say evacuate, save as
many lives as you can, because those people are living
under the Gandia they don't want to live under that regime.
And I just we just hope for the best. And
(33:22):
you start of the fire. Let's burn them out and
get it done. What are you thinking, Well.
Speaker 1 (33:26):
Finish the job. No, I hear you, Angelo.
Speaker 2 (33:29):
And look, just to piggyback off of what you're saying,
I was on Newsmax yesterday and I was on a
political panel and they put me up against this progressive
leftist and again, you know, like Bernie Sanders, this leftist
was against Netniyahu, was against Israel. Was calling now for
(33:50):
them to stop the attack on Iran and go back
to the diplomatic table and basically let the Mullus survive
and let them their nuclear program intact.
Speaker 1 (34:02):
I mean, it's incredible, It's just incredible.
Speaker 2 (34:05):
How they will constantly appease the Islamo Nazis in Tehran.
And just to further go on, Angelo, to further reinforce
what you're saying, Look, you've got Bernie Sanders now leading
along with AOC, leading the charge in Congress to tie
(34:27):
the president's hands in his ability to conduct war in
case he feels the need to back or support Israel.
And according to Bernie, this is now Bernie, Bernie Sanders says,
I'm not going to allow Trump to drag us into
a war that benefits bb net. Yahou And I'm looking
(34:48):
at this and I'm like, that benefits bb neting Yahoo.
Are you insane? So you want the Ayatolas to have
the bomb? You want the Iotolas to get ten, fifteen,
twenty thousand ballistic missiles as annett Niya who said that
each way a ton coming in mock six armed with
(35:12):
nuclear warheads, so they can literally obliterate Israel and much
of the Middle East in a massive nuclear mushroom cloud.
And I'm sorry, but I have to say this, Bernie
is Jewish, not that I care, but in this case
it's relevant. So after everything the Jews injured in the Holocaust,
(35:35):
after everything, we know, these are the heirs. Literally everybody
keeps talking about Hitler, Hitler, Hitler, Hitler.
Speaker 1 (35:43):
These are the heirs to Hitler.
Speaker 2 (35:47):
The Iotolas are as close to the heirs of Hitler
as you will find anywhere on the planet. They deny
the Holocaust happened. Well, actually they make two arguments. One,
the Holocaust never happened, be they want to finish what
the Holocaust started. So you're looking at people who literally
(36:09):
sell my comp on the streets of Tehran, where Hitler
is admired in Iran. Why because for them, the only
good Jew is a dead Jew. And you're telling me
as a Jew while he's a self hating Jew.
Speaker 1 (36:25):
But let that go.
Speaker 2 (36:26):
Bernie Sanders said, just a baby. Baby's the problem. Not really,
not the Iatolas, it's Bibe. So they're now trying to
tie the hands of President Trump because God forbid. If
they can rescue the Iyatolas like Jimmy Carter, put him
(36:47):
in power, like Obama sent them billions and billions of dollars,
like Joeye sent them billions and billions of dollars, If
they can empower, if they can enrich, if they can
preserve and save the Iyatolas, save their bacon, they will.
(37:11):
They are in love with the most evil fascist regime
on the face of the earth. That's the modern Democratic Party,
that's the modern Left. For you, Angelo, thank you very
much for that call. I mean, really, the inmates are
running the asylum. I swear you cant make this up.
(37:31):
Russ in Boston, thanks for holding Russ and welcome.
Speaker 8 (37:38):
I love Benjamin and Yao in a non sexual way.
And I'll tell you I purchased this book several years ago.
It's called bb My Story. If you want a great
read of a patriotic person who loves the State of Israel,
buy the book, believe me. Okay, Now, long live the
State of Israel, mesge of Israel. Whatever needs to finish
(38:00):
the job, and this must end with unconditional surrender. Remember
we have not ended up there since World Lot two
with unconditional surrender, and there was no substitute unconditional surrender,
whether you look at Korea, Vietnam, Afghanistan or anywhere else
where we've sent troops. Okay, we should have settled for
(38:22):
only unconditional surrender. And you have to beat your enemy
into submission without question. Now, Teker Kassum is spending too
much time at home. He's probably on recreational drugs, and
as far as I'm concerned, he's on my fuller crop list.
I'm all done with him. Okay. Now, thanks to Jimmy Carter,
(38:42):
we had put up with this evil for forty six years.
Forty six years because now Kyard didn't take the proper action.
He was gutless when it comes to being commander in chief.
Now unconditional surrender. We'll make it clear to communist China
and Russia do not ff with us, or this is
what's kind of happen to you now, to the rest
(39:04):
of the world, always side with us, stating evil, You'll
do it at your own risk. And the other thing,
I want to know, there's idiots on Saturday, they're all protesting.
I want to know how many of them are written
up and doup the babies that their parents were idiots? Okay, oh,
how many of them are brainwashed by the Maxi's professors
(39:25):
in our leading colleges and universities.
Speaker 2 (39:29):
Russ, You're dead on, You're absolutely dead on. And I
want to ask you something, Russ. At this critical juncture
in the war, should the United States give Israel these
bunker buster bombs and the heavy bombers and they can
you know, wipe out four DOW, they can finish off Natons,
(39:51):
all of these nuclear enrichment sites that are deeply buried
underneath mountains, deep into the ground. Or should we form
only join Israel and bake it an American Israeli operation
and help Israel destroy what's left of their nuclear facilities.
Should we give them the weapons? Should we join them,
(40:15):
or should we just let Israel continue.
Speaker 8 (40:20):
I don't know the technical aspects of this, okay, but
let's put it this way. If we can give them
what they need and they do it, find if they're
not capable for whatever reason, then we have to do
it along with Israel once and for a while and again. Jeff.
The message that we have to cent throughout the world
is peace through strength and don't believe with us. And
(40:42):
one thing that I'll say that I learned a little
early on in life. If you show weakness, people will
crop over you, crap on you. If you share strength
and show them that you're not going to take any bs,
they will back away from you. Because most of the
time people are smart enough that they don't want confrontation.
That's a big It's a thing that you can learn
in life, and you have to learn it also on
(41:03):
a national level. And Jeff, I am so sick and
tired of watching al presidents in this country bring us
to war and never let us win the war. I'm
telling you it is aggravating, okay. And I'll tell you
I could talk for hours on things we should have
done in Vietnam and things we should have done that
Afghanistan that we would have ended up with unconditional surrender
(41:27):
without question.
Speaker 2 (41:28):
Russ As always, thank you very much for your call
my friend Tommy in West Virginia. Thanks for holding Tommy
and as always welcome.
Speaker 3 (41:41):
They ain't making Jews like Jesus anymore. They don't turn
the other teet the way they've done before. Give Israel
what they want, Let them finish this job. We've put
up with forty six years of this nonsense. And by
(42:03):
the way, Jimmy Carter is not only to blame, but
we can also thank the nation of France. The AYATOLAHOLMANI
was in exile in France and some genius from France thought, hey,
you know what, what a great idea to send him
back to Iran. And I remember that Iranian hostage crisis
(42:27):
like it was yesterday. I was aged nineteen when that happened.
Part of that Iranian revolution back then was, believe it
or not, you liberals over in Cambridge, Iranian women wanted
equal rights. What a concept in what happened to that
(42:47):
equal rights for women that prior to nineteen seventy nine
women and Tehran actually could wear skirts showing there below
the knee or above the knee. Well, congratulations, you geniuses
from Harvard University. They're now forced to wear burkas, and
(43:11):
a woman was hanged for simply taking off her head scar.
I don't know what it is with liberals in this
country anymore. They have this fascination and they're very forgetful
about what Islam's past has done. And I just found
out over the weekend. Did you know in sixteen eighty three,
(43:34):
Vienna was surrounded by two hundred thousand Muslim marauders from
the Ottoman Empire that were about to take it over.
But there was a king in Poland by the name
of King John who sent sixty five thousand warriors to
prevent that from happening. You know, these liberals are really
(44:01):
great saying that Donald Trump is going to become Hitler,
history is going to repeat itself. They really have no
clue about world history. Jeff, you're a very learned individual.
I'm certainly sure you could probably name that king of
Poland what his last name was, But I don't know.
You know this, If there really is an existential threat
(44:23):
to this world, it's Iran, and I have no doubt.
Like the great poet Laureate Maya Angelou once said, when
somebody tells you who they are, believe them. And for
forty six years, what have the Iranian Mullahs and the
radical Islamis and that country said death to America, death
(44:44):
to Israel. Now they're not going to blow up the
United States as they get a nuclear weapon, but I'm
certainly sure we might get a suitcase nuke over here
at some point if they're allowed to develop that. But
they will use it on the state of Israel. Make
no mistake, do we really want to go through that again?
Speaker 2 (45:04):
Oh, you're dead on And this time the difference is. Look,
Israel has at least one hundred, if not two hundred
nuclear missiles. So if youran gets the bomb, and this
is you know, Beebe's made this point over and over.
He goes, Okay, they'll drop it on us, and they
may wipe out millions of Jews, but we're going to
wipe eron off the face of the earth. You're looking
(45:26):
at a nuclear holocaust in the Middle East with you know,
all the fallout, the radiation, the environment. I mean this
is it will read down to us. I'm not saying
their missiles can reach us or but the pollution in
the atmosphere. So that's what I mean. We're playing with
serious fire here. If we can take out the Mullahs.
(45:47):
To me, I'm looking around the room like has everybody
lost their mind? You take them out, and I'm with you.
I'm with you, and I'm with russ Give Israel the
bunker bust and the bombers. We don't have to send
in a single American soldier, send a single American Air
Force jet or fighter jet or warplane. We don't have
(46:11):
to be involved in this. I understand. We're tired of
these endless wars. I get it. Look we've been in Iraq,
we've been in Afghanistan. I mean we're tired. We've got
huge problems here at home. Israel is not asking us
to fight their battles. So if what they need to
finish the job and finish it completely and decisively, are
(46:32):
these you know, penetrating bombs, these bunker busters and the
big bombers to drop them, give it to them, but
go ahead, really finish it, knock them out once and
for all. So that's my position, Tommy. I'm not Tucker Carlson,
(46:52):
and I'm not Lindsey Graham. I listen to Lindsay Graham,
I'll play the cut later. I mean he wants us
to go all in right now. That that's Lindsay never
met a war, he didn't like boots on the ground,
Send in the American Air Force, go in heavy, occupy
Iran regime change, and I'm like, this guy's a lunatic.
(47:15):
Iran is a country of eighty million people physically, just physically,
it's the fourteenth biggest country in the world. And unlike
what people think, this is not Iraq. It's not desert.
It's full of mountains like Afghanistan. It's ideal for guerrilla warfare.
So if you want to send in our troops again
(47:37):
and have them picked off one by one by one
by one, that's exactly what's going to happen. So notice
Lindsey Graham never, he never goes in fights, and he
doesn't have any children, so he won't send his kids,
but he'll send you, he'll send me, he'll send our children.
(47:59):
So I'm looking and I'm like, no, we don't have
to get directly involved. We don't have to occupy the country.
We don't have to be there for another twenty twenty
five years. And see American you know, American boys and girls,
men and women come back in body bags. Israel will
take care of their nuclear military, their military program, and
(48:22):
shatter that regime if all it takes is a couple
of bunker busters and a couple of heavy bombers. And
I think, I don't know, I'm speculating now. I think
that's what Trump is discussing with the National Security Council.
That's why he left the G seven early. They're at
(48:42):
a key moment in the war. I think everybody is
surprised how poorly the Iranians have performed and how successful
the Israelis have been so quick, and their regime is
now tweetering, and BB's on the phone saying, give me
the bunker busters and I can finished this. And Trump
now is going to talk to his Secretary of Defense
(49:04):
national security team, and they're going to come up and say,
do we you know, do we give it to them?
Speaker 1 (49:09):
Yes or no?
Good morning, Cooner.
Speaker 2 (00:03):
Contrary. Okay, my friends, a very important show today. Developments
now in the Middle East have reached clearly a watershed moment.
So here is now exactly what is taking place over
the last forty eight to seventy two hours, as you've
been watching on television screens across the country and frankly
(00:25):
across the world. Israel and Iran now are in a
full fledged war. Israel now has attained complete air superiority
air dominance, which is now giving them a massive advantage.
They are now pounding government buildings all across Tehran, the
(00:47):
capital of Iran. They are hitting military facilities, nuclear installations.
They are now pounding the Mullahs almost into submission. In fact,
yesterday it was confirmed by both Trump, the Israelis and
the Iranians that the Mullahs have sent through intermediaries now
(01:10):
messages to talk. Now they want to negotiate. They now
they're willing to talk. Netanyahu has said no way, he
wants to finish the job and deliver the knockout blow.
Speaker 1 (01:26):
Now.
Speaker 2 (01:26):
The problem is this, as Israeli missiles and warplanes continue
to strike target after target after target, there is no
question they are degrading Iran's military. They have decapitated their
military leadership. They are now pounding key installations without question.
(01:51):
Now about a third of Iran's missile launchers have already
been destroyed. They continue at this rag of attrition. Iran
will not be able. They can have all the ballistic
missiles in the world. If you don't have the missile
launchers to fire them, they're useless. They're basically stuck on
(02:12):
the ground. Now Iran is pummeling Israel with a barrage
of missile strikes, night after night after night. The Iron Dome,
Israel's missile defense system has shot down many of these
Iranian ballistic missiles, but not all of them. They are
(02:33):
getting through. They are hitting Israeli civilians in Tel Aviv
in particular, but also in Haifa and in other towns
across northern and central Israel. Israeli civilians are now being killed.
Tel Aviv in particular is taking some significant damage. So
(02:55):
Israel now wants to finish this war as quickly as possible.
They want to degrade Iran's ability to ever develop the
nuclear bomb, and ultimately to destroy and end that ability
once and for all. The question now is what will
the United States do. And the key issue this is
(03:19):
the key issue, is that Netanyahu has said he's gonna
give this campaign about another two weeks pretty much. He
believes by two weeks they will have destroyed or annihilated
enough of Iran's nuclear military capability that they will have
essentially have neutralized the Iranian nuclear threat. However, there are
(03:46):
several Iranian nuclear enrichment sites, and these are the key
sites that are giving them this. The centrifuges and the
materials to build a nuclear bomb that are buried deep underground,
in fact, deep underneath mountains. The key one is four
(04:09):
dough FRDW. Please look it up yourself. It is in
many ways the heart of Iran's nuclear enrichment program. It
is buried very deep underground. The only way to guarantee
the destruction of four Doeaux is to use these penetrating bombs,
(04:33):
these bunker busting bombs that can smash through almost half
a mile into the earth, and to have the right
bombers to deliver them. Israel does not have these bunker
busting bombs.
Speaker 1 (04:49):
We do.
Speaker 2 (04:50):
Israel does not have the bombers to deliver these huge,
penetrating bunker busting bombs.
Speaker 1 (04:57):
We do.
Speaker 2 (04:59):
And the question now is will Donald Trump provide Israel
the bunker busters and the bombers needed to deliver the
decisive knockout blow that netting Yahu and in some ways
Trump both want or will the United States just do
(05:21):
it themselves?
Speaker 3 (05:23):
I e.
Speaker 2 (05:23):
Now formally join Israel in this attack and come in
with our bombers, dropping our bust our bunker busting bombs
and then wipe out Netans, Isaphan and four Dough. Those
are the three key nuclear enrichment facilities, especially four Dough
(05:48):
because it is so deep underneath the mountain. In other words,
they don't want Iran to survive this bombing strike, this
air campaign with some of its nuclear pro impact.
Speaker 1 (06:01):
Why here's why.
Speaker 2 (06:04):
Yesterday Iran formally pulled out of the nuclear non Proliferation treaty.
That means now they are racing for the bomb. This
is now a sprint. Their country is under attack. The
regime is very vulnerable. They are very worried now that
these devastating and they are devastating air and missile strikes
(06:30):
could literally bring the people out on the streets and
this brutal Islamist theocracy can be overthrown they need a
fundamental game changer to change the momentum of this war.
Getting or acquiring the bomb changes everything. And so now
(06:51):
Iran is sprinting to get a nuclear bomb before they
are completely and utterly decapitated and destroyed, the regime destroyed
by Israel, with the United States helping Israel. So now
Netanyahu and Trump have a fundamental decision to make. How
(07:13):
far do you go? How deep do you go? And
should the United States now get formally involved. Yesterday at
the G seven summit, President Trump left the G seven early.
They're still They're still talking at the G seven on trade,
(07:34):
on Russia, on Ukraine, on many other issues. Trump left
the G seven early to come back to Washington, DC.
He has now called for his National Security Council to
meet with him in the situation room. Something big is
about to happen. And then Trump issued a dire warning,
(07:59):
a die warning to the Mullahs on true social as
he told them, you should have taken the deal when
I offered it to you. Now look at the shameful,
wasteful loss of life. He's now telling them they can never,
as he put it in caps, you will never be
(08:22):
allowed to get a nuclear weapon. So and then came
the dire warning. He told everybody in Tehran evacuate, leave immediately.
Now because of this, they were already fleeing in droves.
(08:43):
But because now of this warning and it has made
its way throughout Iran, believe me, everybody has gotten the message.
The roads, byways, highways out of Iran are clogged, congested
with cars. People are desperately trying to flee Tehran. They
(09:07):
now know that this war is going to enter now
a much bigger, more escalatory, and much more potentially dangerous
and lethal face. People now are pouring out of Tehran.
So the question now is what is President Trump planning
to do? What is he going to join the war formerly,
(09:33):
is he going to hand over these huge bunker busters
and heavy bombers to the Israelis what? Or does he
know that Netnyahu has something planned and he's trying to
save as many civilian lives as possible. That is now
the sixty four thousand dollars question. Listen now to Trump
(09:53):
asked about have you seen any signals or heard anything
that Iran now wants to de escalate the conflict? Listen
to his answer, Roll cut one, Mike.
Speaker 3 (10:08):
Have you heard any signals or seen any messages from intermediaries.
Speaker 4 (10:12):
That Iran wishes to de escalate the conflict.
Speaker 3 (10:15):
Yeah, what if what have you heard?
Speaker 2 (10:17):
What if you heard from the Iranians they'd.
Speaker 5 (10:19):
Like to talk, but they should have done that before.
I had sixty days and they had sixty days. And
on the sixty first day, I said, we don't have
a deal. They have to make a deal.
Speaker 6 (10:30):
And it's painful for both parties. But I'd say Iran
is not winning this war and they should talk, and
they should talk immediately before it's too late.
Speaker 7 (10:41):
And what would you say, in your opinion, what would
it take for the US to get involved in this
conflict militarily?
Speaker 5 (10:48):
I don't want to talk about that.
Speaker 8 (10:49):
Well, you mention.
Speaker 2 (10:51):
So basically, he's keeping his cards very close to his vest.
He's not going to say we're not getting involved. He's
not saying we are getting involved. What should the United
States do now? That is the question, and in particular,
what should the president? What should President Trump do? Okay,
breaking news, as I mentioned just at the end of
(11:12):
my opening monologue, Israel now has ordered three hundred thousand
Iranians to flee the capital city of Tehran to evacuate.
So something big is coming. President Trump yesterday tweeted out
very late in the evening saying Tehran should be evacuated immediately.
(11:38):
So obviously now they're going to drop. We don't know
exactly what, but this war now is going to go
to a different phase. It is going to blow. It
is going to get big. And the question now is
how far is Israel willing to go to win this war?
And how far should the United States go to help
Israel win this war. The military commander, this is the
(12:04):
top man running Iran's war, has now been confirmed to
have been assassinated by Israel Ali Shadmani is now dead.
This is on top of about fourteen other top senior
intelligence military leaders, including the head of the Republican the
(12:30):
Republican National Guard, which is the shock troops, the spear
of the Iranian military. So it looks like Israel now
is methodically just grinding down and slowly but surely cutting
off the head of the entire military and intelligence infrastructure
(12:52):
and network within Iran. Now, as all of this is
going on behind the scenes, Nahu is now pleading with
Trump to give him the bunker busters, these big penetrating
bombs that can smash deep underground all of the remaining
(13:14):
nuclear enrichment sites, especially at four Doho that the Iranians have.
He believes this will make these the mission a complete
and utter strategic victory, and that this will end Iran's threat,
its nuclear threat to the Israel, to the region, and
to the world for the next generation. The question is now,
(13:38):
should the United States provide direct military assistance? Should they
give Israel these bunker busters and the bombers to drop them?
Speaker 1 (13:49):
Israel does not have them. We do.
Speaker 2 (13:52):
Six one seven two, six, six, sixty eight sixty eight
is the number listen now to be Benjamin Netanyahu.
Speaker 1 (14:02):
He gave an.
Speaker 2 (14:05):
Interview with Fox newses Brett Baer, and he said, we
decided to launch this operation for two reasons. One we
our intelligence showed us that they were several months away
from the critical what's called breakout phase, that they would
(14:25):
have enough centrifuges, enough uranium enriched at a certain level
that would give them the clear path to acquiring the
nuclear bomb, And that they were planning now to build
and develop and produce hundreds of ballistic missiles a month.
Faced with that dual threat and with the nuclear negotiations
(14:49):
at an impasse with the Americans our side not making
any headway with the Iranians in talks after talks, after talks,
said President Trump said, let's give him two months. I said, okay,
he said, But it was clear after sixty days the
Mullahs were just stringing the Americans along. We were running
(15:11):
out of time. At the twelfth hour, we struck roll
cut six.
Speaker 1 (15:18):
Mike, why did you launch this operation now?
Speaker 9 (15:25):
Because we were facing an imminent threat, a dual existential threat. One,
the threat of Iran rushing to weaponize. They're enrich uranium
to make atomic bombs for the specific and declared intent
to destroy US. Second, a rush to increase their ballistic
missile arsenal into the capacity that they would have thirty
(15:46):
six hundred weapons a year, new weapons within three years,
ten thousand ballistic missiles, each one weighing a ton, coming
in at mock six right into our cities as you
saw today, and then in twenty six years, twenty thousand.
That's a no country I can sustain that, and certainly
not a country the size of Israel.
Speaker 2 (16:07):
In other words, the Iranians were on a military build
up combined with this push for the bomb that basically
forced Israel's hand. As he put it, this was an
existential threat. I saw the opportunity. I seized it. It's
now or never. Listen now to BB saying, I waited
(16:28):
and waited and waited until I literally could not wait
any longer.
Speaker 1 (16:34):
Roll cut six B, Mike else Gabarn testified, Sorry.
Speaker 2 (16:39):
Sorry, Mike, my bad, my bad. Roll cut six A.
That was my mistake, six A, Mike.
Speaker 9 (16:46):
So we had to act. Was the twelfth hour. We
did act to save ourselves, but also I think to
not only protect ourselves, but protect the world from this
incendiary regime. We can't have the world's most dangerous regime,
have the world's most dangerous weapons or protecting ourselves, but
by doing so, we're protecting many others.
Speaker 1 (17:06):
Okay, let me ask all of you. This is now.
Speaker 2 (17:09):
The world is now at a critical watershed. The region
is at a critical watershed, the entire Middle East, and
Trump's presidency is at a critical critical watershed. Tucker Carlson
and I'm going to get to this later, but Tucker
Carlson and many of his staunchest supporters in the MAGA
(17:30):
movement are now saying that Trump has caused a schism
in the MAGA movement that he has betrayed MAGA and
America first by openly supporting Israel's attack on Tehran. He's
now urging Trump back away. Have nothing to do with
(17:50):
what Israel is doing. You have Lindsey Graham now saying
the United States should go all in and normally join
Israel's attack on Iran.
Speaker 1 (18:03):
Six one seven two.
Speaker 2 (18:05):
Six six sixty eight sixty eight is the number. Okay,
my friends. In many ways, it now all comes down
to this, what should Israel do? And more importantly, what
should the United States and President Trump do? Six one
seven two six six sixty eight sixty eight. Dave, our
(18:26):
Western PA constitutionalist correspondent, and what it's a different Dave?
Speaker 1 (18:32):
My bad?
Speaker 2 (18:32):
All right, sorry, let me to our our Western PA
constitutionalist correspondent. My apologies, Dave, Dave in Pa. Thanks for
holding Dave and welcome.
Speaker 7 (18:47):
Good morning.
Speaker 8 (18:48):
Hi you're gonta give you an add.
Speaker 1 (18:53):
Dave.
Speaker 7 (18:53):
Hell, Yes, you broke up.
Speaker 1 (18:56):
Yeah, Dave, you broke up on us. Can you start
from the beginning, please.
Speaker 7 (19:00):
Trump's whole Trump's whole deal is no more loss of
human life, no involvement of American troops. No one's talking
about the long term strategy. You have Iranian citizens that
didn't sign up for what's going on, but they were
born into what's going on. So you have a younger
generation of Iranians that want out of this. Trump has
(19:22):
signaled in the past. Look, your country has resources that
can earn the country of Iran peace and prosperity and
growth instead of funding terrorism worldwide. So if Iran's out
of the picture, no funding to Hamas Hasbla or the hoodies.
And I'm going through this real quick, but think about this.
(19:43):
Sixty days he gave them the Mullas, not Yahoo, has
signaled that we're going to take the Mullas out as
in be assassinated. If there's a regime change in Iran
where there's an uprising, which they've had the past, but
no support from democratic administrations. If they have a regime
(20:07):
change and then the Mullas are out of the picture,
they can bring in either American or UN inspectors to
dismantle those facilities without dropping a single bomb. If they
do strike those facilities and there's nuclear uh, there's contamination,
(20:29):
You're gonna risk contamination from it from those facilities. So
let's see if we can do this without dropping a
big bomb from doing it internally. Once those Mullas are
out of the picture, there's gonna be there's gonna be
a big change in Iran because there won't be those
(20:51):
people won't be under that thumb anymore. I think that's
the long term goal that no one's talking about.
Speaker 2 (20:58):
Well, Dave, there's no question. Both Trump and bb have
said they'd prefer regime change. They said, there's no question.
But how do I say this. There's been multiple green
movements over the last twenty years. They were betrayed by Obama,
they were betrayed by Biden both times. And there's only
(21:20):
and you know, my wife and I were talking about
this in any society, I'm not just talking about Iran.
In any society, there is only a small percentage of
the people that have the patriotism, the bravery, the courage,
the willingness to put their lives on the line and
(21:43):
lead a movement of opposition and dissent. Most people, and
that applies to every country, every culture, every society. They
go along to get along. That's just how most people are.
So yeah, it's easy for us to say, and I
agree with you in theory. You're completely right. You get
rid of the mullas you solve the problem. The problem
(22:05):
is they've already crushed these huge democratic movements, not once,
but twice, in fact, three times. They've murdered all the leaders,
they've imprisoned all the others. So there's a sense anyran
now of utter exhaustion and fatigue they have in sense,
(22:26):
they've broken the pro democracy movement. So what I'm saying
is there's only a finite number of people in any
country that are willing to risk everything to overthrow a backward,
repressive government. So we don't know if we have the
people on the ground who are willing to organize and
(22:47):
willing to overthrow these brutal, barbaric mullahs. That's why you
don't leave something like this the chance. That's why Netanyahu's
argument is, and I think it's a very good one. Look,
we've got the regime now on the ropes. I mean,
I don't know, Dave, if you saw what happened yet.
They literally targeted Iran's entire media institution, their state television
(23:12):
network Live as one of these broadcasters, it was a
woman basically almost covered head to toe, was in a
diatribe about death to America, death to Israel, death to
the Jews, were winning the war, blah blah blah. And
a missile hit the building directly, and you see the
debris falling on top of her, and she desperately runs
(23:36):
away in fleece. And so the Irange people are looking
at this and they're stunned because now a major organ
that the regime has used to broadcast its propaganda, its lies,
has now been destroyed by Israel. They're cutting off their
ability to even communicate with their own people. So the
(23:57):
regime is militarily now being slowly dismantled. Their nuclear scientists
are being wiped out, their nuclear facilities are being smashed
and shattered. There's a couple of them left that are
deep underground. Otherwise, the Mullahs are in trouble and their
(24:18):
population is fleeing.
Speaker 1 (24:21):
They are running literally for the hills. Iran is full
of mountains.
Speaker 2 (24:25):
So at this point you don't know what the people
are gonna do, except they don't want to get killed.
So net Yahu's argument is finish the job. That's literally
what he's saying in private. Let's finish it one more
week and we could end the Iranian nuclear problem once
and for all. Final word to you, Dave.
Speaker 7 (24:47):
You're making my point.
Speaker 3 (24:50):
You made my point.
Speaker 7 (24:51):
If the maulers get dismantled, then that's the green light
for the green movement. The American Revolution was on supported
by about eight to sixteen percent of the population in
the seventeen hundreds, and now we have the United States
of America two hundred and fifty years later. So who's
(25:12):
not to say the same thing can't happen in.
Speaker 1 (25:14):
Iran Fingers crossed.
Speaker 7 (25:17):
If they're running to the hills, that's a green light
that they're on the ropes. I think that, Yeah, who's
gonna take them all out?
Speaker 3 (25:26):
But that's what's.
Speaker 7 (25:26):
Gonna happen, and they would be brilliant. We don't have
to have troops on the ground to do it. So
Trump's not portraying any promise and providing support without without
putting troops on the ground. There's nothing wrong with that.
So I just I just think people aren't seeing the
big picture. People will always fail to see the big picture.
Speaker 2 (25:49):
Well, Dave, yeah, Trump is threatening the needle right now.
He's helping Israel without committing American boots or American fighter jets.
So technically we're not a co belligerent, but we're doing
everything we can to help Israel. So it's a thin
line that he's walking. It's a tightrope, and he wants
(26:11):
to continue to walk that tightrope again. In fact, yesterday
again he said to the Mullas, look as everything is
being destroyed around you, as your country is crumbling, as
your military is crumbling, you sure you don't want to
make a peace deal?
Speaker 1 (26:26):
You sure? Because we can do this the hard way
or the easy way. It's up to you.
Speaker 2 (26:33):
So he's sticking to his track, but there's now pressure
building on both sides against him. Dave, thank you very
much for that call. I really appreciate it. Okay, so
just very quickly, this is the tweet now as they say,
or the social media post. It was on true social
(26:53):
that was heard around the world. Okay, So here it is.
This is what Trump wrote yesterday. Iran should have signed
the quote unquote deal I told them to sign. What
a shame and waste of human life. Simply stated, and
it says all in caps. Now Iran cannot have a
(27:16):
nuclear weapon. I said it over and over again. Everyone
should immediately evacuate Tehran.
Speaker 1 (27:27):
Okay.
Speaker 2 (27:28):
It is the Kooner country Pole Question of the Day
sponsored by Mario's Marios Quality siding, roofing and windows. Should
Trump have told the people of Tehran to evacuate? A
big debate about that that in some ways maybe he's
(27:49):
tipping the hand of the israelis tipping the hand of
what he may be planning to do. As well. Others
are saying, no, it's the right thing to do. If
your civilians could be killed, you want to, you know,
save save as many civilian lives as possible. And uh,
it's brutal psychological warfare. And I'll tell you this, they
(28:12):
are fleeing. You got to see the images now coming
out of Tehran. I mean that people are desperate to
get out of the capitol. The roads are blocked, clogged,
congested everywhere everywhere. It is bedlam now in Tehran. So
should Trump have told the people of Tehran to evacuate? A?
Speaker 1 (28:35):
Yes, B No.
Speaker 2 (28:39):
You can vote on our web page a w r
KO dot com slash cooner w r KO dot com
slash cooner kuh and as a national er as always,
you can vote on X and I'm very active on
X again. I was last night my handle there at
the Kuner report all one word.
Speaker 1 (29:00):
Kuh n r.
Speaker 2 (29:04):
Listen now, this is bb Net Niyahu is really prime minister.
He was on an international show and he says, you
want to know what my goal in Iran is? It's
very simple. Roll cut eight, Mike.
Speaker 4 (29:22):
You talked clearly about regime change as a goal to
this war. What do you mean by that? Well, how
can you reach this?
Speaker 9 (29:31):
I would say the goal is twofold to remove one
existential threat, the atomic threat. The second is the existential
threat of thousands and thousands of ballistic missiles. But the
consequence could be the result could be that the regime
will be shattered because what do they have? I mean,
what do they really have?
Speaker 2 (29:51):
So, in other words, shatter the regime and maybe the
people will rise up, pick up the pieces and overthrow
the mullas. But as he put it, look that's going
to be a consequence. It's not the primary goal or objective.
The primary goal an objective to destroy and degrade Iran's
(30:12):
ability to get a nuclear bomb and their ballistic missiles.
Listen to bb again. Now he's directly urging the Iranian people,
basically saying as far as he can go, rise up, Rise, up,
Rise up, and throw off the Ayatolas once and for all.
Speaker 1 (30:33):
Roll cut eight a mike.
Speaker 4 (30:37):
Can you please elaborate on that. How do you see
this leading to a regime change in Iran?
Speaker 9 (30:43):
Look, I think the regime works on terr You know it.
The people in Evon prisoner prisons know it. Every Ranian
citizen knows it. I mean, we know how they shoot people,
how they hang people from cranes, the horrible things that
they do. I don't have to tell you, you can tell me.
But this is all based on the image of invulnerability,
(31:03):
of unmatched power, and we're cutting that power down to size.
And I think this will have I think this will
have enormous consequences for good in our region, beyond our region,
but also in Iran itself. Alight has been lived. Carry
it to freedom, Carry it to freedom. It's up to
the people of Iran. And I think you will find
the time and the opportunity because I think the hour
(31:26):
of liberation is clear. Israel is known as the startup nation.
It may be it may be known as the we're
known as the innovation nation. You will be known as
the liberation.
Speaker 2 (31:37):
Nation, the liberation nation. In other words, the hour of
liberation is near. Maybe we shall see six one seven
two six six sixty eight sixty eight. Angelo in Rockland.
Thanks for holding Angelo.
Speaker 1 (31:53):
And welcome.
Speaker 8 (31:56):
Jeff.
Speaker 10 (31:56):
Good morning, high morning. So anyway, uh, you know, the
New World Order, along with the Rhinos, are trying to
empower the War Power Act to slow down the momentum
that we have over this nuclear threat for the Middle East,
let's call it. And I can't get over how they
(32:17):
want to support that country, support terrorism, and they infiltrated
our government and we have to stop it all. We
have to even start in our own government to weed
out these these radical implants, if you want to call it,
but it's unbelievable. You know, I would act before they
(32:39):
put the War Power Act into play because this is
a world world security threat and they would have no
problem pressing that button to try to eliminate Israel. And
thank god Netting they didn't get nothing but Yahoo out
of power there because they would have in a world
(33:00):
of trouble right now with this global global thought. And
I'm just grateful that Trump did say evacuate, save as
many lives as you can, because those people are living
under the Gandia they don't want to live under that regime.
And I just we just hope for the best. And
(33:22):
you start of the fire. Let's burn them out and
get it done. What are you thinking, Well.
Speaker 1 (33:26):
Finish the job. No, I hear you, Angelo.
Speaker 2 (33:29):
And look, just to piggyback off of what you're saying,
I was on Newsmax yesterday and I was on a
political panel and they put me up against this progressive
leftist and again, you know, like Bernie Sanders, this leftist
was against Netniyahu, was against Israel. Was calling now for
(33:50):
them to stop the attack on Iran and go back
to the diplomatic table and basically let the Mullus survive
and let them their nuclear program intact.
Speaker 1 (34:02):
I mean, it's incredible, It's just incredible.
Speaker 2 (34:05):
How they will constantly appease the Islamo Nazis in Tehran.
And just to further go on, Angelo, to further reinforce
what you're saying, Look, you've got Bernie Sanders now leading
along with AOC, leading the charge in Congress to tie
(34:27):
the president's hands in his ability to conduct war in
case he feels the need to back or support Israel.
And according to Bernie, this is now Bernie, Bernie Sanders says,
I'm not going to allow Trump to drag us into
a war that benefits bb net. Yahou And I'm looking
(34:48):
at this and I'm like, that benefits bb neting Yahoo.
Are you insane? So you want the Ayatolas to have
the bomb? You want the Iotolas to get ten, fifteen,
twenty thousand ballistic missiles as annett Niya who said that
each way a ton coming in mock six armed with
(35:12):
nuclear warheads, so they can literally obliterate Israel and much
of the Middle East in a massive nuclear mushroom cloud.
And I'm sorry, but I have to say this, Bernie
is Jewish, not that I care, but in this case
it's relevant. So after everything the Jews injured in the Holocaust,
(35:35):
after everything, we know, these are the heirs. Literally everybody
keeps talking about Hitler, Hitler, Hitler, Hitler.
Speaker 1 (35:43):
These are the heirs to Hitler.
Speaker 2 (35:47):
The Iotolas are as close to the heirs of Hitler
as you will find anywhere on the planet. They deny
the Holocaust happened. Well, actually they make two arguments. One,
the Holocaust never happened, be they want to finish what
the Holocaust started. So you're looking at people who literally
(36:09):
sell my comp on the streets of Tehran, where Hitler
is admired in Iran. Why because for them, the only
good Jew is a dead Jew. And you're telling me
as a Jew while he's a self hating Jew.
Speaker 1 (36:25):
But let that go.
Speaker 2 (36:26):
Bernie Sanders said, just a baby. Baby's the problem. Not really,
not the Iatolas, it's Bibe. So they're now trying to
tie the hands of President Trump because God forbid. If
they can rescue the Iyatolas like Jimmy Carter, put him
(36:47):
in power, like Obama sent them billions and billions of dollars,
like Joeye sent them billions and billions of dollars, If
they can empower, if they can enrich, if they can
preserve and save the Iyatolas, save their bacon, they will.
(37:11):
They are in love with the most evil fascist regime
on the face of the earth. That's the modern Democratic Party,
that's the modern Left. For you, Angelo, thank you very
much for that call. I mean, really, the inmates are
running the asylum. I swear you cant make this up.
(37:31):
Russ in Boston, thanks for holding Russ and welcome.
Speaker 8 (37:38):
I love Benjamin and Yao in a non sexual way.
And I'll tell you I purchased this book several years ago.
It's called bb My Story. If you want a great
read of a patriotic person who loves the State of Israel,
buy the book, believe me. Okay, Now, long live the
State of Israel, mesge of Israel. Whatever needs to finish
(38:00):
the job, and this must end with unconditional surrender. Remember
we have not ended up there since World Lot two
with unconditional surrender, and there was no substitute unconditional surrender,
whether you look at Korea, Vietnam, Afghanistan or anywhere else
where we've sent troops. Okay, we should have settled for
(38:22):
only unconditional surrender. And you have to beat your enemy
into submission without question. Now, Teker Kassum is spending too
much time at home. He's probably on recreational drugs, and
as far as I'm concerned, he's on my fuller crop list.
I'm all done with him. Okay. Now, thanks to Jimmy Carter,
(38:42):
we had put up with this evil for forty six years.
Forty six years because now Kyard didn't take the proper action.
He was gutless when it comes to being commander in chief.
Now unconditional surrender. We'll make it clear to communist China
and Russia do not ff with us, or this is
what's kind of happen to you now, to the rest
(39:04):
of the world, always side with us, stating evil, You'll
do it at your own risk. And the other thing,
I want to know, there's idiots on Saturday, they're all protesting.
I want to know how many of them are written
up and doup the babies that their parents were idiots? Okay, oh,
how many of them are brainwashed by the Maxi's professors
(39:25):
in our leading colleges and universities.
Speaker 2 (39:29):
Russ, You're dead on, You're absolutely dead on. And I
want to ask you something, Russ. At this critical juncture
in the war, should the United States give Israel these
bunker buster bombs and the heavy bombers and they can
you know, wipe out four DOW, they can finish off Natons,
(39:51):
all of these nuclear enrichment sites that are deeply buried
underneath mountains, deep into the ground. Or should we form
only join Israel and bake it an American Israeli operation
and help Israel destroy what's left of their nuclear facilities.
Should we give them the weapons? Should we join them,
(40:15):
or should we just let Israel continue.
Speaker 8 (40:20):
I don't know the technical aspects of this, okay, but
let's put it this way. If we can give them
what they need and they do it, find if they're
not capable for whatever reason, then we have to do
it along with Israel once and for a while and again. Jeff.
The message that we have to cent throughout the world
is peace through strength and don't believe with us. And
(40:42):
one thing that I'll say that I learned a little
early on in life. If you show weakness, people will
crop over you, crap on you. If you share strength
and show them that you're not going to take any bs,
they will back away from you. Because most of the
time people are smart enough that they don't want confrontation.
That's a big It's a thing that you can learn
in life, and you have to learn it also on
(41:03):
a national level. And Jeff, I am so sick and
tired of watching al presidents in this country bring us
to war and never let us win the war. I'm
telling you it is aggravating, okay. And I'll tell you
I could talk for hours on things we should have
done in Vietnam and things we should have done that
Afghanistan that we would have ended up with unconditional surrender
(41:27):
without question.
Speaker 2 (41:28):
Russ As always, thank you very much for your call
my friend Tommy in West Virginia. Thanks for holding Tommy
and as always welcome.
Speaker 3 (41:41):
They ain't making Jews like Jesus anymore. They don't turn
the other teet the way they've done before. Give Israel
what they want, Let them finish this job. We've put
up with forty six years of this nonsense. And by
(42:03):
the way, Jimmy Carter is not only to blame, but
we can also thank the nation of France. The AYATOLAHOLMANI
was in exile in France and some genius from France thought, hey,
you know what, what a great idea to send him
back to Iran. And I remember that Iranian hostage crisis
(42:27):
like it was yesterday. I was aged nineteen when that happened.
Part of that Iranian revolution back then was, believe it
or not, you liberals over in Cambridge, Iranian women wanted
equal rights. What a concept in what happened to that
(42:47):
equal rights for women that prior to nineteen seventy nine
women and Tehran actually could wear skirts showing there below
the knee or above the knee. Well, congratulations, you geniuses
from Harvard University. They're now forced to wear burkas, and
(43:11):
a woman was hanged for simply taking off her head scar.
I don't know what it is with liberals in this
country anymore. They have this fascination and they're very forgetful
about what Islam's past has done. And I just found
out over the weekend. Did you know in sixteen eighty three,
(43:34):
Vienna was surrounded by two hundred thousand Muslim marauders from
the Ottoman Empire that were about to take it over.
But there was a king in Poland by the name
of King John who sent sixty five thousand warriors to
prevent that from happening. You know, these liberals are really
(44:01):
great saying that Donald Trump is going to become Hitler,
history is going to repeat itself. They really have no
clue about world history. Jeff, you're a very learned individual.
I'm certainly sure you could probably name that king of
Poland what his last name was, But I don't know.
You know this, If there really is an existential threat
(44:23):
to this world, it's Iran, and I have no doubt.
Like the great poet Laureate Maya Angelou once said, when
somebody tells you who they are, believe them. And for
forty six years, what have the Iranian Mullahs and the
radical Islamis and that country said death to America, death
(44:44):
to Israel. Now they're not going to blow up the
United States as they get a nuclear weapon, but I'm
certainly sure we might get a suitcase nuke over here
at some point if they're allowed to develop that. But
they will use it on the state of Israel. Make
no mistake, do we really want to go through that again?
Speaker 2 (45:04):
Oh, you're dead on And this time the difference is. Look,
Israel has at least one hundred, if not two hundred
nuclear missiles. So if youran gets the bomb, and this
is you know, Beebe's made this point over and over.
He goes, Okay, they'll drop it on us, and they
may wipe out millions of Jews, but we're going to
wipe eron off the face of the earth. You're looking
(45:26):
at a nuclear holocaust in the Middle East with you know,
all the fallout, the radiation, the environment. I mean this
is it will read down to us. I'm not saying
their missiles can reach us or but the pollution in
the atmosphere. So that's what I mean. We're playing with
serious fire here. If we can take out the Mullahs.
(45:47):
To me, I'm looking around the room like has everybody
lost their mind? You take them out, and I'm with you.
I'm with you, and I'm with russ Give Israel the
bunker bust and the bombers. We don't have to send
in a single American soldier, send a single American Air
Force jet or fighter jet or warplane. We don't have
(46:11):
to be involved in this. I understand. We're tired of
these endless wars. I get it. Look we've been in Iraq,
we've been in Afghanistan. I mean we're tired. We've got
huge problems here at home. Israel is not asking us
to fight their battles. So if what they need to
finish the job and finish it completely and decisively, are
(46:32):
these you know, penetrating bombs, these bunker busters and the
big bombers to drop them, give it to them, but
go ahead, really finish it, knock them out once and
for all. So that's my position, Tommy. I'm not Tucker Carlson,
(46:52):
and I'm not Lindsey Graham. I listen to Lindsay Graham,
I'll play the cut later. I mean he wants us
to go all in right now. That that's Lindsay never
met a war, he didn't like boots on the ground,
Send in the American Air Force, go in heavy, occupy
Iran regime change, and I'm like, this guy's a lunatic.
(47:15):
Iran is a country of eighty million people physically, just physically,
it's the fourteenth biggest country in the world. And unlike
what people think, this is not Iraq. It's not desert.
It's full of mountains like Afghanistan. It's ideal for guerrilla warfare.
So if you want to send in our troops again
(47:37):
and have them picked off one by one by one
by one, that's exactly what's going to happen. So notice
Lindsey Graham never, he never goes in fights, and he
doesn't have any children, so he won't send his kids,
but he'll send you, he'll send me, he'll send our children.
(47:59):
So I'm looking and I'm like, no, we don't have
to get directly involved. We don't have to occupy the country.
We don't have to be there for another twenty twenty
five years. And see American you know, American boys and girls,
men and women come back in body bags. Israel will
take care of their nuclear military, their military program, and
(48:22):
shatter that regime if all it takes is a couple
of bunker busters and a couple of heavy bombers. And
I think, I don't know, I'm speculating now. I think
that's what Trump is discussing with the National Security Council.
That's why he left the G seven early. They're at
(48:42):
a key moment in the war. I think everybody is
surprised how poorly the Iranians have performed and how successful
the Israelis have been so quick, and their regime is
now tweetering, and BB's on the phone saying, give me
the bunker busters and I can finished this. And Trump
now is going to talk to his Secretary of Defense
(49:04):
national security team, and they're going to come up and say,
do we you know, do we give it to them?
Speaker 1 (49:09):
Yes or no?
