Speaker 1 (00:00):
Ken in Weymouth. Thanks for holding Ken and welcome.
Speaker 2 (00:06):
How you going?
Speaker 1 (00:07):
I'm good? How are you? Ken?
Speaker 3 (00:10):
Well?
Speaker 2 (00:11):
Everything that's going on, doesn't it seem almost obvious? You know,
we talk about a representative republic, and I've said this earlier.
You know, they're not representing us. They deserve to be
thrown out of office, but yet it never happens. They
never seem you know, the Conservative Party always talks tough,
but when it comes right down to it, it seems the
(00:32):
Democrats always get what they want. Okay, even if you
look way back in history all the time, you know,
I mean, take a look. They left Roosevelt and for
one reason, so Stalin could promote communism. Now, my question is,
is is communism on the books as our mortal enemy?
(00:54):
Because if it is is China or communist country, And
if that's the case, then how is it that someone
can get bought by the Communist party? Isn't it called
aid and comfort to the enemy, especially if they're bringing
down this country through the way they float.
Speaker 1 (01:14):
You're a thousand percent correct, okay, So, Mike, I mean
it's something Honestly, it's it's treeson at high noon, That's
what this is they bought the President, which was Joe Biden.
They bought him. They bought Mitch McConnell, who was whether
Senate Minority Leader or Senate Majority Leader, they bought him.
(01:36):
They have bought you name it. I can go across
the board. They bought Nancy Pelosi, who is House Speaker.
They have bought Chuck Schumer. They have bought over seventy
five to eighty percent of Congress, and Chuck you know
when when Mitch McConnell went down and he sent to
the hospital and they kept it all hush hush, she
(02:00):
flew to kiss the ring of her communist masters in Beijing. Now,
I mean that tells you everything. And so you're completely
right if communism is our mortal enemy, and it is,
and if China is a communist power, which it is.
In fact, it's a communist superpower. You know, in many ways,
(02:21):
it's much stronger than the old Soviet Union. The old
Soviet Union, I don't mean to cut you off, can
I promise I'll give you all the time in the world.
But the old Soviet Union economically was never a rival
of the United States. China's economy is a much greater
manufacturing threat, industrial threat, trading threat. Then the old Soviet
(02:44):
Union ever was. And you know, you could say whatever
you want about the Old Soviet Union. They had a
spy here, they had a spy there, but they didn't
run Congress, they didn't infiltrate the media, they didn't buy
up Think Tank the way the communists, you know, the
chi coms have. So this is the world now that
(03:05):
we live in. And you know, ken look, don't even
take my word for it. It's been widely reported the
Democratic Socialists of America are taking Chinese money. Literally, China
is bankrolling them, which means China is, in other words,
aoc China money. Mamdanie China money, Graham Platner until he
(03:29):
was kicked out, you know, forced out China money, elan
Omar China money. All of these Democratic Socialists, all of
them swimming, flooding, drowning, flooded with Chinese money. So China
is buying up the entire Democratic Party. It's not even
an argument, it's a fact. And they bought Lindsay Graham,
(03:56):
they bought Mitch McConnell i. Can run down a whole list,
and so that's why you have true Maga conservatives who
will openly say we have the best Congress that money
can buy. Members of Congress, whether in the House or
in the Senate, are bought and paid for, whether they're lobbyists,
(04:17):
whether they're billionaire donors, whether they're globalists, or in this case,
whether they're the you know, try cooms. So that's we're
not a constitutional republic in reality anymore, only in name,
because we're being slowly destroyed by the swamp. Think of
(04:37):
the swamp as a cancer. The cancer is infecting the body.
If we don't excize it, it will kill us. That's
not if that's when.
Speaker 2 (04:51):
Go ahead, ken, Okay, So in as will be three
points of action that the communists do. First of all,
they're atheistic. They're actually satanic. Communism is satanic because it
hates God. It tries to replace God. So therefore, if
(05:12):
this is.
Speaker 4 (05:13):
All going on, then we can quote Nikita Krushchev. We
won't have to fire a single shot. And the other
part is when you say, how did China get so
much wealth? Well, I hate to say it, who put
NAFTA together? And because by looking at trade as the
(05:33):
number one concern. Okay, all this world economy where everything
is put together to me. It almost sounds communistic because
everything is all pulled together, all equal. We all have
our economies quote equal. Something happens over in the Middle
East that affects us.
Speaker 2 (05:51):
It never used to be like that. So what I'm
getting at is the only way they can.
Speaker 1 (05:56):
Destroy Yeah, that's how they destroy us. No, you nailed it.
Look these free trade deals beginning with NAFTA transferred trilliance,
not billions. I would be remiss if we didn't at
least touch on today's show. And that is now what
is happening with Iran in the Strait of Hormouse and
(06:17):
President Trump. President Trump now has announced that he is
going to be holding a prime time address to the
entire nation this Thursday evening, and there's a lot of
speculation about what he's going to talk about. The President
now has told the media he will definitely be addressing,
(06:37):
without question, the now the new development's taking place with
Iran and in the Strait of Hormouse, as well as
election integrity. Apparently it's going to be a bombshell revelation
about foreign interference in our elections that he wants to
announce to the entire country this Thursday evening. But the
(07:00):
lead the top. I think what he's going to start
the talk with or the address with, and this is
what he's I'm just going by what he's telling people.
Is what's happening now in Iran. Yesterday the President, as
I predicted, reinstituted the blockade. So the blockade is now
(07:22):
back on. All Iranian ships are now going to be
prevented from either entering a port in Iran or leaving
a port in Iran that goes for their customers as well.
So the blockade is not for any other country. It
is only for Iran. All shipping to and from Iran
(07:47):
is now going to be blocked the way it was
before the ceasefire. And the blockade that we had imposed
before was absolutely devastating. It was iron tight, it causing
about half a billion dollars in lost economic activity a
day a day. They couldn't sell any oil, they couldn't
(08:12):
sell their petrochemicals, they couldn't sell anything, and of course
they couldn't import anything, so it was strangling the Iranian economy. Furthermore,
President Trump, now and there's a standoff over the Strait
of Formouse, and essentially now the battle is a battle
(08:33):
of wills. A test of wills over who will end
up asserting full control and influence over this vital, strategic
waterway in which twenty percent of the world's oil, twenty
percent of the world's liquefied natural gas goes through that
tiny strait, that tiny waterway. It's a choke point, and
(08:55):
it's the most vital choke point in the entire world economy.
President Trump now announced, we the United States are going
to take over the strait. We are going to control it,
We're gonna manage it. We're gonna send in our navy,
our military. But from this point forward, he is resting
(09:21):
control of the Straight of Hormuz completely from the grip
of the Iranians. Listen now to President Trump on Fox
Roll Cut one, Mike, Well.
Speaker 5 (09:37):
We're taking over the strait. They have nothing, they've gotten nothing.
So something that nobody knows. Yesterday they added an eleven
hour meeting. Everything's eleven hours with these guys. You know,
you can't settle it one sentence in one hour, in
one minute, it should be one minute. And everything was
agreed to yesterday and they leave the room and they
(10:00):
all back and they said, we had to make a
couple of changes as it changes, they're gonna make changes.
We're going to make changes, always changes. They just under
their professional negotiators. That's all they are. That's I don't
even go them good at it. They haven't gotten anything.
They've got nothing from me.
Speaker 1 (10:16):
So that's what they do. By the way. They just
stall and drag it along and drag it along, and
then after you think you have an agreement, they come
back and say, now this clause, that sentence, we got
to tweak that, we got to edit that we got
And that's the game. That's the game they play. Okay,
so Trump is saying I'm done. I've had it. There's
(10:37):
gonna be no more negotiations. The ceasefire is dead. You
believe you're in control of the Straight of Horror moves,
I got news for you. We're gonna send in our ships,
We're gonna send in our military. We are going to
open up the entire Straight of Horror moves and from
this point forward, we are going to run the Straight
(10:58):
as Trump put it on X. From this point going forward,
the United States will become quote unquote the guardian angel
of the Strait of Horn Moose. Listen now to President Trump,
roll cut one a mike.
Speaker 5 (11:19):
But if you look for forty seven years that had
been tapping people along presidents, every president got tapped along,
didn't do anything, and they became more and more powerful.
They should have been done forty seven years ago, shouldn't
have been allowed to start. But Clinton let him go,
and Bush let him go, everybody let him go. And
Obama was the worst of all because Obama actually went
(11:39):
to their side. Obama because you know, he's, uh, well
let's not say, let's let's not say, let's leave that
for another time. He was terrible.
Speaker 1 (11:50):
He was gonna say he's a Muslim. I'm telling you
right now when he said he was the worst of all.
He went to their side, you know, because he's he's
going to say he's a Muslim, which, by the way,
he is, but let that go. And he says, well,
let's not say just leave it. In other words, I
don't need the uproar. I don't need the furor you know,
the media and the you know, the social media and
(12:13):
the explosion and the distraction, Like I just I don't
need it right now. So he was just terrible. Let's
just leave it at that. Now, listen to the president saying,
I gave them a test. The memorandum of understanding was
a test. Could they live up and abide by an agreement?
(12:35):
And what I found out is they can't. They just can't.
Roll cut to Mike, or.
Speaker 6 (12:46):
Was the m ou that your negotiators brought back? Was
that uh uh side saddle MoU?
Speaker 1 (12:51):
Is that built the fall apart?
Speaker 5 (12:54):
It was built a test. It was a test. We
didn't know.
Speaker 7 (12:57):
It didn't look memorandum of understand When you're dealing with
sleevesbags don't mean much, and they don't mean much when
you're dealing with honorable people too, because it's a memorandum
of understanding, it doesn't mean much. And I said, why
are we even You know, it's a standard tactic in
the US that you go to a memorandum of understanding
and then you go to the deal. I said, just
(13:18):
go to the deal first. But you know what, it
was sort of a test, and they weren't there. They
didn't honor the test. We had it, We had this
deal settled numerous times. I said, watch, I guarantee watch,
and they never They never followed it.
Speaker 1 (13:32):
So, in other words, could they honor a cease fire?
Could they abide by agreements, and the Memorandum of Understanding
proved definitively that the regime any wrong can't which means
now Trump is saying, okay, now we know our answer.
There can be no negotiation, no negotiated settlement, or no
negotiated peace. So the President then went on truth social
(13:58):
and he said that from this point forward, we are
going to completely manage and control and run the Straight
of Hormouse. We are gonna guarantee the safe passage for
every commercial vessel, every container ship, every tanker that goes
through there. However, because this is not gonna be cheap,
(14:19):
it's gonna be costly. It's gonna cost money. Our ships
are gonna be there basically on a permanent basis. We're
gonna be compensated. And now President Trump has said we
wants a twenty percent toll for every ship that goes
through the Strait of Hormouse. In other words, he's telling
(14:39):
the Iranians, you were gonna charge a toll, You were
gonna charge your fee. No, no, no, no, The Straight of
Foremuz belongs to us, not you, And you think you're
charging a toll. We're gonna charge a toll. So what
(15:00):
the President now has done is not just reimpose the
blockade and imposed sanctions and made it impossible for Iran
to sell their oil on the open market, but he
is now trying to rest geopolitically, just take the Strait
of Hormuz from the regime in Iran and basically guarantee
(15:24):
free safe passage. However, everyone is going to have to
pay us money, a toll, a fee, whatever you want
to say, however you want to call it. Now my
question to you, do you support the president's decision? Should
the United States now have a permanent presence in the
(15:47):
Strait of Hormuz using our navy to guarantee the free
open passage safe passage for every ship going through the
Strait of Hormuz? And should we be charging countries around
the world a twenty percent toll fee? Do you believe
(16:09):
that we should be doing this? Or is this now
going to make us permanently involved in the Middle East,
in the Persian Gulf and in many ways always looking
over our back or looking over our shoulder. Okay, let
me ask you a couple of questions. Number one, the
great audience of Kooner Country, what do you think Trump
(16:32):
will say Thursday, or what do you expect or want
him to say when he addresses the nation primetime speech
Thursday evening, So basically two nights from tonight. He will
be talking about Iran, that is no question. He also
will be talking about election integrity apparently is going to
be a surprise announcement on that front. But the bulk
(16:56):
of the speech will be about where we go from
here regarding the war with Iran. So I'm just curious,
can he change hearts and minds? And what do you
think he needs to stay? What would you want him
to say? What he would you like to hear from it?
To hear him say now? Furthermore, this is my own
(17:18):
personal take. You can agree or disagree. Obviously, I think
it's a brilliant move. I think reimposing the blockade is brilliant.
Restoring all the economic sanctions is brilliant. Why because Trump
now is going to squeeze the Iranians and the Iranian economy.
(17:38):
He's going to squeeze him to the point that they're
going to cry uncle. And on top of that by
now saying we are going to take over the entire
Strait of Hormuz by force if necessary, and even charge
a twenty percent toll. Once we completely control and assert
(17:59):
you know, domin Min, it's over the strait, and that
means they're going to have to pay us. Every ship,
every container, every tanker is going to have to pay
us percentage. Trump says it will be twenty percent. I'm
sure it's subject to negotiation. But basically it's going to
cost us a lot of money to do it. But
Trump says, because it costs us a lot and we're
(18:20):
taking all the risks and spending all the money, we
should be compensated. And I agree with him. And the
bigger issue is by reasserting control over the strait, he
has taken away Iran's leverage. Iran will have no more leverage.
(18:40):
Their leverage right now is the Strait of Hormuz and
the ability to send oil prices the global economy and
oil prices in the global market high. Cutting off oil
or the supply of oil in natural gas and having
their boot on the neck of the economy. You take
(19:02):
that away, where's their leverage. Their leverage is gone, it's finished,
it's over now. This may entailed taking certain casualties. It
is a high risk operation. Trump knows that and that's
why I think, to be honest, he's going to prepare
the country to resume a massive bombing campaign that is
(19:24):
especially going to target every key site military site along
the entire Strait of Hormuz, destroy their capability to harass
or target our ships or any other ships or vessels
in the Strait of Hormuse. So he's looking now to
(19:45):
amputate them. And once they lose control of the strait,
or to be more accurate, Trump rests control of the
Strait from their hands. Then what do the Iatolas have left?
They have nothing. They only have one last card to play,
(20:06):
and that is Pickaxe Mountain. For those of you that
not aware of Pickaxe Mountain, Pickaxe Mountain is a huge mountain.
It's near the Neton's nuclear enrichment facility. We have bomb
Netons and two other of their nuclear enrichment facilities. However,
(20:27):
Pickaxe Mountain is the last remaining nuclear site in which,
deep deep underground, they have a fortified tunnel complex. It's
highly fortified where they're working on some kind of a
nuclear program in the dark and in secret. They still
(20:48):
have Pickaxe Mountain. The other three nuclear facilities have been destroyed.
This one is still standing or it's still preserved intact
because it is so deep. Pickaxe Mountain is such a
massive mountain and it's buried so deep, it is very
difficult or hard to target, bomb and destroy those deep tunnels.
(21:14):
Listen now to President Trump. This was an interview he
gave and he said, I'm telling the Iranians get ready,
because we are going to lay waste to Pickaxe Mountain
and that massive tunnel and that huge nuclear program they
have buried deep under the ground. Roll cut three mic.
Speaker 6 (21:40):
Before you enter into another deal, will you insist that
IAEA inspectors get down into that deep, deep, deep tunnel
and find out if they got a doomsday machine down there.
Speaker 7 (21:50):
Absolutely, they don't have it, because we have eyes, you know,
with the with Space Force and everything else, we have
a lot of eyes on it. But Pickaxe is a possible,
you know, a possible target for a nice, big fat
shot right down the front door. And I think you'll
maybe you'll see that.
Speaker 2 (22:08):
I'll tell them right now, so.
Speaker 1 (22:12):
It's there there. As he put it, they're a possible
target for a nice, big fat shot right into the
front door. And he goes, I'll tell them right now,
you'll see it. I'll tell them right now. So he's
telling you Ron, get ready, get ready, because we are
gonna blow Pickaxe Mountain to Kingdom. Come. We're gonna flatten it.
(22:36):
We're gonna drop the mother of all bombs, one after another,
after another after another, until we blow that mountain to Smithereens,
destroy that massive underground tunnel complex, and just smash that
nuclear whatever is left of their nuclear program. Then they
(22:57):
have no cards left to play. Their nuclear program is finished,
their nuclear program is in tatters. It will have been
completely and utterly annihilated and decimated. Listen now to President
Trump saying, they can't stop us. We have so degraded
(23:19):
their military. In fact, the only thing they have going
for them right now, he goes, and I'm not saying
this to be funny or to make a you know,
take a pot shot at the media. He said, the
only thing they have going for them now is the
support of the fake news media, which has been pushing
(23:39):
out propaganda on behalf of the Iranian regime and the
Democratic Party. Besides the media, the lying fake news media
and the Democratic Party, They've got nothing left. They're on
their knees and now I'm gonna knock them out roll
cut three a Mike.
Speaker 7 (24:00):
Look, the fact is they have no air force, they
have no navy, they have no nothing. All they do
is talk and they have fake press. They do very
well with the fake press, but they do because the
fake news wants us to lose. It's not even I
mean the New York Times they actually said a week ago.
I don't can't imagine they say it now, but think
of it. They have no navy, have no air force,
(24:22):
have no anything. They have no military, They have nothing.
And the time said, and their inflation, by the way,
just hit three hundred and one percent from five percent.
They said, oh, they're in better shape now than they
were four months ago before I started.
Speaker 1 (24:35):
So his point is, we've destroyed their military. We've wiped
out their navy, We've shattered their air force. We have
absolutely annihilated their air defense systems. Their economy now is
in ruins three hundred I think, actually what I've read
is four hundred percent, but okay, the President says three
(24:56):
hundred and one. I'll go low. But I've been reading
four hundred percent anyway, whatever, three hundred four hundred percent
inflation because they're they're the country is in free fall,
and yet you all you hear from the media is
they're in a stronger position than they were four months ago,
as if somehow he run has won this war. And
(25:17):
he says, it's lies and more lies and a pack
of lies. And so he says, the only card they
have left, the only deterrent left is what are they
building or developing under Pickax Mountain. Well, now I'm going
to take that final deterrent and I'm gonna smash it.
(25:38):
Roll cut three B Mike.
Speaker 6 (25:43):
Yeah, but the fake media always brings up Pickaxe Mountain,
and I don't think it's not on your list. I
think it's on your list. And you're telling me that.
Speaker 7 (25:49):
We're watching it, Leslie, We see no activity there. They're
not doing well with their nuclear situation. Every time we
hear about it, we've blown up. So they don't like
talking about it. But we'll probably give pick Ax a
shot relatively soon.
Speaker 1 (26:04):
So basically, you take away the strait of Hormus and
then you take away pick Axe Mountain, which means now they'rencle.
They have no capacity to even come close to building
a nuclear bomb. So there is no quote fear of
a nuclear of a nuke or a nuclear weapon or
any kind of a nuclear deterrent. It's game, set and match.
(26:26):
It's over. I mean it's over. Listen now to the president.
This was at the Oval Office, saying We've got them
right where we want them, but I gotta tell you
the support that you and the media, And he's pointing
to CNN and MS NOW and the New York Times
(26:47):
and the Washington Post and AP and Reuters and saying,
the way you have been lying about this war for
the last four or five months, and the way the
Democrats have been supporting the Uranian regime, it's treason. It's treason.
You're siding with the enemy, a mortal enemy of the
(27:09):
United States, against America. You're rooting for us to lose.
Roll cut four, Mike. You have them in a.
Speaker 8 (27:22):
Position that they don't have any military There's not a
thing they can do about it. All they have is
fake news. Because they have the fake news, would rather
see us lose the war than win the war, which
has really treated us, which has really treated us in
a second way. So we're doing another very major attack tonight.
They want to make a deal. They came back. We
(27:44):
made a deal two days ago, and they want to
make a deal. They've been negotiating for forty seven years,
but nobody's ever hit them militarily.
Speaker 3 (27:51):
We're hitting him very hard, thank you very much.
Speaker 1 (27:53):
So he's basically saying, there's no more deals, as you
put it, their scum, their liars, their cheaterskup their loco,
as he put it, their nuts. And he said, I'm
not there's no nothing to negotiate, there's nothing to sign.
So he's now completely he's now shifted I think his
policy to finish the job. And so let me just
(28:17):
say this, and I want to go right to the
phone lines. He takes over the strait of Hormus. He's
taken away their leverage, their biggest leverage. He reimposes the
blockade and the sanctions which he's now doing. He's now
going to turn the screws into the economy and break
the back of the Iranian regime. And if he does
(28:39):
what he says, which is to flatten and bomb and
absolutely annihilate Pickaxe Mountain, then I'm telling you their nuclear
program is done. There's nothing left. It will be a broken, shattered,
defeated country. And I think at that point the Iranian
(29:03):
regime may not survive. They will be what's called a
proverbial sitting duck. And then the question is will the
Iranian people rise up? But without their nuclear program, without
the Strait of Hormuz, and with Trump now relentlessly economically
(29:24):
putting pressure on them, with the economy already at three
hundred percent, and with the stores empty and people hungry
and starving and mass unemployment, that country is a powder
keg and it's going to blow, and the Iranian regime
could potentially now come crashing down. So my prediction I
(29:46):
could be wrong. I hope I'm not wrong. I think
Trump will announce to the country on Thursday, We're resuming
the war, but this time it's going to be total war,
for total victory and a total defeat for the Iranian regime.
And he's going to ask the American people for their
support and say it may take about a month in total,
(30:09):
asking for more patients, another thirty days, but trust me,
after thirty days, this terrorist regime will be finished. Jack
in Weymouth, thanks for holding Jack, and welcome.
Speaker 3 (30:25):
Hi Jeff, ore you.
Speaker 1 (30:26):
I'm good. How are you? Jack?
Speaker 3 (30:28):
All right? I was over there in two thousand and four,
ten miles from the Iranian border, my whole year. In
order to finish these people, you're gonna have to kill
the regime, and I mean kill the regime, you know,
and I know they're not just a regular government. They're
a bunch of theocratic knuckleheads who you know, thinks God
(30:52):
is on their side, period and then not going to
stop until you get rid of it. The Iranian people
tried to rise up, fifty four thousand of them died
approximately without giving them some guns. You know, they're not
gonna be successful unless we decapitate, and by that I
(31:15):
mean bomb the iERG and potentially use ground troops. I
love the Air Force, I love my brothers in the
Air Force, but you can't just do everything from the
sky all the time. Doesn't work that way. The country's
too damn big now and strategic bombing is now a reality.
(31:36):
Unlike in Pass Forwards when they told you they could
you know, bomb the factory and they missed by five miles.
Now they could actually vomit, you know, up right to
the window. But we only have so many smart munitions.
They are a limited quantity, whether people want to admit
it or not. And you need to totally get rid
(31:59):
of these people. You can't do half measures. And I
love Donald, I wish you would do west talking and
more shooting. Frankly, and I'll j.
Speaker 1 (32:13):
Jack, let me ask you, because you said you're going
to have to employ or deploy ground troops, some kind
of ground troop presence. You can't win a war strictly
from the air or just you know, from the sea
and from the air. You've got to put boots on
the ground for him to really control the Strait of Hormuz.
(32:35):
The military is telling him he's going to have to
deploy some ground troops. It's going to expose our navy
in some of these tight areas near the coastline of
Iran where they will be vulnerable to some of these
anti ship you know, anti ship trones and anti ship
missiles that they have, So there could be some casualties there.
(32:56):
But we're going to have to put some boots on
the ground to secure you know, strategic area is along
the straight of Hormuz. Does President Trump, if he will
deploy ground troops, does he have to go to Congress
to get either an authorization or a declaration of war?
In other words, if you're gonna put boots on the
(33:16):
ground and escalate this military campaign, and this I think
will be a massive, a massive escalation. Does he need Congress?
What say you?
Speaker 3 (33:28):
I would say that boots in the ground, ships of
the air planes in the air. Unfortunately, he should have
the support of the American people. But I don't think
going to Congress right now would do anything one way
or the other. And I don't think a long term
presence boots on the ground is going to be required.
(33:49):
We have enough aviation assets and enough A ten assets
and everything else over there that we can drive back
the missiles in the or owns from the straight of
horr moves in short order. But what you really need
to do is to capitate the IRG, and not just
the leadership. You need to get the IRG soldiers disarmed.
(34:12):
You need to get them either dead or disarmed, because
they're fanatics. They don't care about economics, they don't care about,
you know, anything but the religious fanaticism they have. I'm
not talking to all of them, but it's kind of
like fight in the SS in World War Two. You
know that's how fanatical.
Speaker 1 (34:34):
Well, no, you're dead on, Jack, I'm telling you you're
dead on. I mean, that's the regime and their supporters
or a bunch of fanatics. And you know, I think
it's even worse than the SS in this sense. In
this sense, Jack, or the Imperial Japanese, it's glory to
die for a lah. In other words, Oh we die
fighting America. Great, I'm a martyr. I get my seventy
(34:56):
two virgins in heaven. So it's it's all. I'm most sick.
But they say they have like a perverse incentive. Oh
my god, let me die. I'm going to go to
the gates of Heaven with Allah and my seventy two virgins.
I mean, that's how sick these people are. It's like
a death cult, like, yeah, let's die. Yeahah, you know,
I mean it's you go, it's it's twisted, it's perverse,
(35:19):
it's it's evil, it's sick. Jack. I've got to ask
you this because obviously you're a military man and you're
very experienced. If we do go all in, as I
think Trump now has made the decision to go all
in the idea that we're going to police the strait
of Hormouse and charge a toll. Do you like that idea?
(35:44):
Should we be the permanent policeman of the Strait where
we're guaranteeing safe passage, but for a fee, you know whatever,
fifteen percent, twenty percent? Should that be the role of
the United States that in the end after this war,
we control the straight, we run the straight, we administer
(36:05):
the straight, and we get paid by everybody for doing it.
What say you.
Speaker 3 (36:12):
Like it? And I'll tell you why. The role of
the US Navy is to you know, obviously the role
of all navies, you know, originally was to bread piracy
in the high seas, which in effect they're doing I
get it, but getting paid for it by having nations.
Now what you should do, Jeff, I would submit to
you this, What Donald should do is say, look, everybody
(36:33):
contribute a frigate or two frigates, or an aircraft carrier.
The French cut a few of them. Still, it's like,
you got to get down here because eighty percent of
euroil comes through here, not os, and you guys take
the job. We've got better things to do. We don't
have the ships and everything else that we may need
in the Pacific. We can't have them, you know, messing
(36:56):
around for that long in the straight of hormones. What
the rest of the world it gets the oil the
Free countries of Europe. Let them do it.
Speaker 1 (37:06):
Interesting. In other words, share the burden, we'll liberate it,
we'll open it up, we'll knock out these you know,
we'll knock out the IRGC. But in the long term,
you know, the oil goes to China, the oil goes
to Asia, the oil goes to Europe. It doesn't go
to US. So you guys patrol it because we need
(37:27):
our navy elsewhere i e. Primarily in the Pacific to
deter China. Interesting. Interesting,
Ken in Weymouth. Thanks for holding Ken and welcome.
Speaker 2 (00:06):
How you going?
Speaker 1 (00:07):
I'm good? How are you? Ken?
Speaker 3 (00:10):
Well?
Speaker 2 (00:11):
Everything that's going on, doesn't it seem almost obvious? You know,
we talk about a representative republic, and I've said this earlier.
You know, they're not representing us. They deserve to be
thrown out of office, but yet it never happens. They
never seem you know, the Conservative Party always talks tough,
but when it comes right down to it, it seems the
(00:32):
Democrats always get what they want. Okay, even if you
look way back in history all the time, you know,
I mean, take a look. They left Roosevelt and for
one reason, so Stalin could promote communism. Now, my question is,
is is communism on the books as our mortal enemy?
(00:54):
Because if it is is China or communist country, And
if that's the case, then how is it that someone
can get bought by the Communist party? Isn't it called
aid and comfort to the enemy, especially if they're bringing
down this country through the way they float.
Speaker 1 (01:14):
You're a thousand percent correct, okay, So, Mike, I mean
it's something Honestly, it's it's treeson at high noon, That's
what this is they bought the President, which was Joe Biden.
They bought him. They bought Mitch McConnell, who was whether
Senate Minority Leader or Senate Majority Leader, they bought him.
(01:36):
They have bought you name it. I can go across
the board. They bought Nancy Pelosi, who is House Speaker.
They have bought Chuck Schumer. They have bought over seventy
five to eighty percent of Congress, and Chuck you know
when when Mitch McConnell went down and he sent to
the hospital and they kept it all hush hush, she
(02:00):
flew to kiss the ring of her communist masters in Beijing. Now,
I mean that tells you everything. And so you're completely
right if communism is our mortal enemy, and it is,
and if China is a communist power, which it is.
In fact, it's a communist superpower. You know, in many ways,
(02:21):
it's much stronger than the old Soviet Union. The old
Soviet Union, I don't mean to cut you off, can
I promise I'll give you all the time in the world.
But the old Soviet Union economically was never a rival
of the United States. China's economy is a much greater
manufacturing threat, industrial threat, trading threat. Then the old Soviet
(02:44):
Union ever was. And you know, you could say whatever
you want about the Old Soviet Union. They had a
spy here, they had a spy there, but they didn't
run Congress, they didn't infiltrate the media, they didn't buy
up Think Tank the way the communists, you know, the
chi coms have. So this is the world now that
(03:05):
we live in. And you know, ken look, don't even
take my word for it. It's been widely reported the
Democratic Socialists of America are taking Chinese money. Literally, China
is bankrolling them, which means China is, in other words,
aoc China money. Mamdanie China money, Graham Platner until he
(03:29):
was kicked out, you know, forced out China money, elan
Omar China money. All of these Democratic Socialists, all of
them swimming, flooding, drowning, flooded with Chinese money. So China
is buying up the entire Democratic Party. It's not even
an argument, it's a fact. And they bought Lindsay Graham,
(03:56):
they bought Mitch McConnell i. Can run down a whole list,
and so that's why you have true Maga conservatives who
will openly say we have the best Congress that money
can buy. Members of Congress, whether in the House or
in the Senate, are bought and paid for, whether they're lobbyists,
(04:17):
whether they're billionaire donors, whether they're globalists, or in this case,
whether they're the you know, try cooms. So that's we're
not a constitutional republic in reality anymore, only in name,
because we're being slowly destroyed by the swamp. Think of
(04:37):
the swamp as a cancer. The cancer is infecting the body.
If we don't excize it, it will kill us. That's
not if that's when.
Speaker 2 (04:51):
Go ahead, ken, Okay, So in as will be three
points of action that the communists do. First of all,
they're atheistic. They're actually satanic. Communism is satanic because it
hates God. It tries to replace God. So therefore, if
(05:12):
this is.
Speaker 4 (05:13):
All going on, then we can quote Nikita Krushchev. We
won't have to fire a single shot. And the other
part is when you say, how did China get so
much wealth? Well, I hate to say it, who put
NAFTA together? And because by looking at trade as the
(05:33):
number one concern. Okay, all this world economy where everything
is put together to me. It almost sounds communistic because
everything is all pulled together, all equal. We all have
our economies quote equal. Something happens over in the Middle
East that affects us.
Speaker 2 (05:51):
It never used to be like that. So what I'm
getting at is the only way they can.
Speaker 1 (05:56):
Destroy Yeah, that's how they destroy us. No, you nailed it.
Look these free trade deals beginning with NAFTA transferred trilliance,
not billions. I would be remiss if we didn't at
least touch on today's show. And that is now what
is happening with Iran in the Strait of Hormouse and
(06:17):
President Trump. President Trump now has announced that he is
going to be holding a prime time address to the
entire nation this Thursday evening, and there's a lot of
speculation about what he's going to talk about. The President
now has told the media he will definitely be addressing,
(06:37):
without question, the now the new development's taking place with
Iran and in the Strait of Hormouse, as well as
election integrity. Apparently it's going to be a bombshell revelation
about foreign interference in our elections that he wants to
announce to the entire country this Thursday evening. But the
(07:00):
lead the top. I think what he's going to start
the talk with or the address with, and this is
what he's I'm just going by what he's telling people.
Is what's happening now in Iran. Yesterday the President, as
I predicted, reinstituted the blockade. So the blockade is now
(07:22):
back on. All Iranian ships are now going to be
prevented from either entering a port in Iran or leaving
a port in Iran that goes for their customers as well.
So the blockade is not for any other country. It
is only for Iran. All shipping to and from Iran
(07:47):
is now going to be blocked the way it was
before the ceasefire. And the blockade that we had imposed
before was absolutely devastating. It was iron tight, it causing
about half a billion dollars in lost economic activity a
day a day. They couldn't sell any oil, they couldn't
(08:12):
sell their petrochemicals, they couldn't sell anything, and of course
they couldn't import anything, so it was strangling the Iranian economy. Furthermore,
President Trump, now and there's a standoff over the Strait
of Formouse, and essentially now the battle is a battle
(08:33):
of wills. A test of wills over who will end
up asserting full control and influence over this vital, strategic
waterway in which twenty percent of the world's oil, twenty
percent of the world's liquefied natural gas goes through that
tiny strait, that tiny waterway. It's a choke point, and
(08:55):
it's the most vital choke point in the entire world economy.
President Trump now announced, we the United States are going
to take over the strait. We are going to control it,
We're gonna manage it. We're gonna send in our navy,
our military. But from this point forward, he is resting
(09:21):
control of the Straight of Hormuz completely from the grip
of the Iranians. Listen now to President Trump on Fox
Roll Cut one, Mike, Well.
Speaker 5 (09:37):
We're taking over the strait. They have nothing, they've gotten nothing.
So something that nobody knows. Yesterday they added an eleven
hour meeting. Everything's eleven hours with these guys. You know,
you can't settle it one sentence in one hour, in
one minute, it should be one minute. And everything was
agreed to yesterday and they leave the room and they
(10:00):
all back and they said, we had to make a
couple of changes as it changes, they're gonna make changes.
We're going to make changes, always changes. They just under
their professional negotiators. That's all they are. That's I don't
even go them good at it. They haven't gotten anything.
They've got nothing from me.
Speaker 1 (10:16):
So that's what they do. By the way. They just
stall and drag it along and drag it along, and
then after you think you have an agreement, they come
back and say, now this clause, that sentence, we got
to tweak that, we got to edit that we got
And that's the game. That's the game they play. Okay,
so Trump is saying I'm done. I've had it. There's
(10:37):
gonna be no more negotiations. The ceasefire is dead. You
believe you're in control of the Straight of Horror moves,
I got news for you. We're gonna send in our ships,
We're gonna send in our military. We are going to
open up the entire Straight of Horror moves and from
this point forward, we are going to run the Straight
(10:58):
as Trump put it on X. From this point going forward,
the United States will become quote unquote the guardian angel
of the Strait of Horn Moose. Listen now to President Trump,
roll cut one a mike.
Speaker 5 (11:19):
But if you look for forty seven years that had
been tapping people along presidents, every president got tapped along,
didn't do anything, and they became more and more powerful.
They should have been done forty seven years ago, shouldn't
have been allowed to start. But Clinton let him go,
and Bush let him go, everybody let him go. And
Obama was the worst of all because Obama actually went
(11:39):
to their side. Obama because you know, he's, uh, well
let's not say, let's let's not say, let's leave that
for another time. He was terrible.
Speaker 1 (11:50):
He was gonna say he's a Muslim. I'm telling you
right now when he said he was the worst of all.
He went to their side, you know, because he's he's
going to say he's a Muslim, which, by the way,
he is, but let that go. And he says, well,
let's not say just leave it. In other words, I
don't need the uproar. I don't need the furor you know,
the media and the you know, the social media and
(12:13):
the explosion and the distraction, Like I just I don't
need it right now. So he was just terrible. Let's
just leave it at that. Now, listen to the president saying,
I gave them a test. The memorandum of understanding was
a test. Could they live up and abide by an agreement?
(12:35):
And what I found out is they can't. They just can't.
Roll cut to Mike, or.
Speaker 6 (12:46):
Was the m ou that your negotiators brought back? Was
that uh uh side saddle MoU?
Speaker 1 (12:51):
Is that built the fall apart?
Speaker 5 (12:54):
It was built a test. It was a test. We
didn't know.
Speaker 7 (12:57):
It didn't look memorandum of understand When you're dealing with
sleevesbags don't mean much, and they don't mean much when
you're dealing with honorable people too, because it's a memorandum
of understanding, it doesn't mean much. And I said, why
are we even You know, it's a standard tactic in
the US that you go to a memorandum of understanding
and then you go to the deal. I said, just
(13:18):
go to the deal first. But you know what, it
was sort of a test, and they weren't there. They
didn't honor the test. We had it, We had this
deal settled numerous times. I said, watch, I guarantee watch,
and they never They never followed it.
Speaker 1 (13:32):
So, in other words, could they honor a cease fire?
Could they abide by agreements, and the Memorandum of Understanding
proved definitively that the regime any wrong can't which means
now Trump is saying, okay, now we know our answer.
There can be no negotiation, no negotiated settlement, or no
negotiated peace. So the President then went on truth social
(13:58):
and he said that from this point forward, we are
going to completely manage and control and run the Straight
of Hormouse. We are gonna guarantee the safe passage for
every commercial vessel, every container ship, every tanker that goes
through there. However, because this is not gonna be cheap,
(14:19):
it's gonna be costly. It's gonna cost money. Our ships
are gonna be there basically on a permanent basis. We're
gonna be compensated. And now President Trump has said we
wants a twenty percent toll for every ship that goes
through the Strait of Hormouse. In other words, he's telling
(14:39):
the Iranians, you were gonna charge a toll, You were
gonna charge your fee. No, no, no, no, The Straight of
Foremuz belongs to us, not you, And you think you're
charging a toll. We're gonna charge a toll. So what
(15:00):
the President now has done is not just reimpose the
blockade and imposed sanctions and made it impossible for Iran
to sell their oil on the open market, but he
is now trying to rest geopolitically, just take the Strait
of Hormuz from the regime in Iran and basically guarantee
(15:24):
free safe passage. However, everyone is going to have to
pay us money, a toll, a fee, whatever you want
to say, however you want to call it. Now my
question to you, do you support the president's decision? Should
the United States now have a permanent presence in the
(15:47):
Strait of Hormuz using our navy to guarantee the free
open passage safe passage for every ship going through the
Strait of Hormuz? And should we be charging countries around
the world a twenty percent toll fee? Do you believe
(16:09):
that we should be doing this? Or is this now
going to make us permanently involved in the Middle East,
in the Persian Gulf and in many ways always looking
over our back or looking over our shoulder. Okay, let
me ask you a couple of questions. Number one, the
great audience of Kooner Country, what do you think Trump
(16:32):
will say Thursday, or what do you expect or want
him to say when he addresses the nation primetime speech
Thursday evening, So basically two nights from tonight. He will
be talking about Iran, that is no question. He also
will be talking about election integrity apparently is going to
be a surprise announcement on that front. But the bulk
(16:56):
of the speech will be about where we go from
here regarding the war with Iran. So I'm just curious,
can he change hearts and minds? And what do you
think he needs to stay? What would you want him
to say? What he would you like to hear from it?
To hear him say now? Furthermore, this is my own
(17:18):
personal take. You can agree or disagree. Obviously, I think
it's a brilliant move. I think reimposing the blockade is brilliant.
Restoring all the economic sanctions is brilliant. Why because Trump
now is going to squeeze the Iranians and the Iranian economy.
(17:38):
He's going to squeeze him to the point that they're
going to cry uncle. And on top of that by
now saying we are going to take over the entire
Strait of Hormuz by force if necessary, and even charge
a twenty percent toll. Once we completely control and assert
(17:59):
you know, domin Min, it's over the strait, and that
means they're going to have to pay us. Every ship,
every container, every tanker is going to have to pay
us percentage. Trump says it will be twenty percent. I'm
sure it's subject to negotiation. But basically it's going to
cost us a lot of money to do it. But
Trump says, because it costs us a lot and we're
(18:20):
taking all the risks and spending all the money, we
should be compensated. And I agree with him. And the
bigger issue is by reasserting control over the strait, he
has taken away Iran's leverage. Iran will have no more leverage.
(18:40):
Their leverage right now is the Strait of Hormuz and
the ability to send oil prices the global economy and
oil prices in the global market high. Cutting off oil
or the supply of oil in natural gas and having
their boot on the neck of the economy. You take
(19:02):
that away, where's their leverage. Their leverage is gone, it's finished,
it's over now. This may entailed taking certain casualties. It
is a high risk operation. Trump knows that and that's
why I think, to be honest, he's going to prepare
the country to resume a massive bombing campaign that is
(19:24):
especially going to target every key site military site along
the entire Strait of Hormuz, destroy their capability to harass
or target our ships or any other ships or vessels
in the Strait of Hormuse. So he's looking now to
(19:45):
amputate them. And once they lose control of the strait,
or to be more accurate, Trump rests control of the
Strait from their hands. Then what do the Iatolas have left?
They have nothing. They only have one last card to play,
(20:06):
and that is Pickaxe Mountain. For those of you that
not aware of Pickaxe Mountain, Pickaxe Mountain is a huge mountain.
It's near the Neton's nuclear enrichment facility. We have bomb
Netons and two other of their nuclear enrichment facilities. However,
(20:27):
Pickaxe Mountain is the last remaining nuclear site in which,
deep deep underground, they have a fortified tunnel complex. It's
highly fortified where they're working on some kind of a
nuclear program in the dark and in secret. They still
(20:48):
have Pickaxe Mountain. The other three nuclear facilities have been destroyed.
This one is still standing or it's still preserved intact
because it is so deep. Pickaxe Mountain is such a
massive mountain and it's buried so deep, it is very
difficult or hard to target, bomb and destroy those deep tunnels.
(21:14):
Listen now to President Trump. This was an interview he
gave and he said, I'm telling the Iranians get ready,
because we are going to lay waste to Pickaxe Mountain
and that massive tunnel and that huge nuclear program they
have buried deep under the ground. Roll cut three mic.
Speaker 6 (21:40):
Before you enter into another deal, will you insist that
IAEA inspectors get down into that deep, deep, deep tunnel
and find out if they got a doomsday machine down there.
Speaker 7 (21:50):
Absolutely, they don't have it, because we have eyes, you know,
with the with Space Force and everything else, we have
a lot of eyes on it. But Pickaxe is a possible,
you know, a possible target for a nice, big fat
shot right down the front door. And I think you'll
maybe you'll see that.
Speaker 2 (22:08):
I'll tell them right now, so.
Speaker 1 (22:12):
It's there there. As he put it, they're a possible
target for a nice, big fat shot right into the
front door. And he goes, I'll tell them right now,
you'll see it. I'll tell them right now. So he's
telling you Ron, get ready, get ready, because we are
gonna blow Pickaxe Mountain to Kingdom. Come. We're gonna flatten it.
(22:36):
We're gonna drop the mother of all bombs, one after another,
after another after another, until we blow that mountain to Smithereens,
destroy that massive underground tunnel complex, and just smash that
nuclear whatever is left of their nuclear program. Then they
(22:57):
have no cards left to play. Their nuclear program is finished,
their nuclear program is in tatters. It will have been
completely and utterly annihilated and decimated. Listen now to President
Trump saying, they can't stop us. We have so degraded
(23:19):
their military. In fact, the only thing they have going
for them right now, he goes, and I'm not saying
this to be funny or to make a you know,
take a pot shot at the media. He said, the
only thing they have going for them now is the
support of the fake news media, which has been pushing
(23:39):
out propaganda on behalf of the Iranian regime and the
Democratic Party. Besides the media, the lying fake news media
and the Democratic Party, They've got nothing left. They're on
their knees and now I'm gonna knock them out roll
cut three a Mike.
Speaker 7 (24:00):
Look, the fact is they have no air force, they
have no navy, they have no nothing. All they do
is talk and they have fake press. They do very
well with the fake press, but they do because the
fake news wants us to lose. It's not even I
mean the New York Times they actually said a week ago.
I don't can't imagine they say it now, but think
of it. They have no navy, have no air force,
(24:22):
have no anything. They have no military, They have nothing.
And the time said, and their inflation, by the way,
just hit three hundred and one percent from five percent.
They said, oh, they're in better shape now than they
were four months ago before I started.
Speaker 1 (24:35):
So his point is, we've destroyed their military. We've wiped
out their navy, We've shattered their air force. We have
absolutely annihilated their air defense systems. Their economy now is
in ruins three hundred I think, actually what I've read
is four hundred percent, but okay, the President says three
(24:56):
hundred and one. I'll go low. But I've been reading
four hundred percent anyway, whatever, three hundred four hundred percent
inflation because they're they're the country is in free fall,
and yet you all you hear from the media is
they're in a stronger position than they were four months ago,
as if somehow he run has won this war. And
(25:17):
he says, it's lies and more lies and a pack
of lies. And so he says, the only card they
have left, the only deterrent left is what are they
building or developing under Pickax Mountain. Well, now I'm going
to take that final deterrent and I'm gonna smash it.
(25:38):
Roll cut three B Mike.
Speaker 6 (25:43):
Yeah, but the fake media always brings up Pickaxe Mountain,
and I don't think it's not on your list. I
think it's on your list. And you're telling me that.
Speaker 7 (25:49):
We're watching it, Leslie, We see no activity there. They're
not doing well with their nuclear situation. Every time we
hear about it, we've blown up. So they don't like
talking about it. But we'll probably give pick Ax a
shot relatively soon.
Speaker 1 (26:04):
So basically, you take away the strait of Hormus and
then you take away pick Axe Mountain, which means now they'rencle.
They have no capacity to even come close to building
a nuclear bomb. So there is no quote fear of
a nuclear of a nuke or a nuclear weapon or
any kind of a nuclear deterrent. It's game, set and match.
(26:26):
It's over. I mean it's over. Listen now to the president.
This was at the Oval Office, saying We've got them
right where we want them, but I gotta tell you
the support that you and the media, And he's pointing
to CNN and MS NOW and the New York Times
(26:47):
and the Washington Post and AP and Reuters and saying,
the way you have been lying about this war for
the last four or five months, and the way the
Democrats have been supporting the Uranian regime, it's treason. It's treason.
You're siding with the enemy, a mortal enemy of the
(27:09):
United States, against America. You're rooting for us to lose.
Roll cut four, Mike. You have them in a.
Speaker 8 (27:22):
Position that they don't have any military There's not a
thing they can do about it. All they have is
fake news. Because they have the fake news, would rather
see us lose the war than win the war, which
has really treated us, which has really treated us in
a second way. So we're doing another very major attack tonight.
They want to make a deal. They came back. We
(27:44):
made a deal two days ago, and they want to
make a deal. They've been negotiating for forty seven years,
but nobody's ever hit them militarily.
Speaker 3 (27:51):
We're hitting him very hard, thank you very much.
Speaker 1 (27:53):
So he's basically saying, there's no more deals, as you
put it, their scum, their liars, their cheaterskup their loco,
as he put it, their nuts. And he said, I'm
not there's no nothing to negotiate, there's nothing to sign.
So he's now completely he's now shifted I think his
policy to finish the job. And so let me just
(28:17):
say this, and I want to go right to the
phone lines. He takes over the strait of Hormus. He's
taken away their leverage, their biggest leverage. He reimposes the
blockade and the sanctions which he's now doing. He's now
going to turn the screws into the economy and break
the back of the Iranian regime. And if he does
(28:39):
what he says, which is to flatten and bomb and
absolutely annihilate Pickaxe Mountain, then I'm telling you their nuclear
program is done. There's nothing left. It will be a broken, shattered,
defeated country. And I think at that point the Iranian
(29:03):
regime may not survive. They will be what's called a
proverbial sitting duck. And then the question is will the
Iranian people rise up? But without their nuclear program, without
the Strait of Hormuz, and with Trump now relentlessly economically
(29:24):
putting pressure on them, with the economy already at three
hundred percent, and with the stores empty and people hungry
and starving and mass unemployment, that country is a powder
keg and it's going to blow, and the Iranian regime
could potentially now come crashing down. So my prediction I
(29:46):
could be wrong. I hope I'm not wrong. I think
Trump will announce to the country on Thursday, We're resuming
the war, but this time it's going to be total war,
for total victory and a total defeat for the Iranian regime.
And he's going to ask the American people for their
support and say it may take about a month in total,
(30:09):
asking for more patients, another thirty days, but trust me,
after thirty days, this terrorist regime will be finished. Jack
in Weymouth, thanks for holding Jack, and welcome.
Speaker 3 (30:25):
Hi Jeff, ore you.
Speaker 1 (30:26):
I'm good. How are you? Jack?
Speaker 3 (30:28):
All right? I was over there in two thousand and four,
ten miles from the Iranian border, my whole year. In
order to finish these people, you're gonna have to kill
the regime, and I mean kill the regime, you know,
and I know they're not just a regular government. They're
a bunch of theocratic knuckleheads who you know, thinks God
(30:52):
is on their side, period and then not going to
stop until you get rid of it. The Iranian people
tried to rise up, fifty four thousand of them died
approximately without giving them some guns. You know, they're not
gonna be successful unless we decapitate, and by that I
(31:15):
mean bomb the iERG and potentially use ground troops. I
love the Air Force, I love my brothers in the
Air Force, but you can't just do everything from the
sky all the time. Doesn't work that way. The country's
too damn big now and strategic bombing is now a reality.
(31:36):
Unlike in Pass Forwards when they told you they could
you know, bomb the factory and they missed by five miles.
Now they could actually vomit, you know, up right to
the window. But we only have so many smart munitions.
They are a limited quantity, whether people want to admit
it or not. And you need to totally get rid
(31:59):
of these people. You can't do half measures. And I
love Donald, I wish you would do west talking and
more shooting. Frankly, and I'll j.
Speaker 1 (32:13):
Jack, let me ask you, because you said you're going
to have to employ or deploy ground troops, some kind
of ground troop presence. You can't win a war strictly
from the air or just you know, from the sea
and from the air. You've got to put boots on
the ground for him to really control the Strait of Hormuz.
(32:35):
The military is telling him he's going to have to
deploy some ground troops. It's going to expose our navy
in some of these tight areas near the coastline of
Iran where they will be vulnerable to some of these
anti ship you know, anti ship trones and anti ship
missiles that they have, So there could be some casualties there.
(32:56):
But we're going to have to put some boots on
the ground to secure you know, strategic area is along
the straight of Hormuz. Does President Trump, if he will
deploy ground troops, does he have to go to Congress
to get either an authorization or a declaration of war?
In other words, if you're gonna put boots on the
(33:16):
ground and escalate this military campaign, and this I think
will be a massive, a massive escalation. Does he need Congress?
What say you?
Speaker 3 (33:28):
I would say that boots in the ground, ships of
the air planes in the air. Unfortunately, he should have
the support of the American people. But I don't think
going to Congress right now would do anything one way
or the other. And I don't think a long term
presence boots on the ground is going to be required.
(33:49):
We have enough aviation assets and enough A ten assets
and everything else over there that we can drive back
the missiles in the or owns from the straight of
horr moves in short order. But what you really need
to do is to capitate the IRG, and not just
the leadership. You need to get the IRG soldiers disarmed.
(34:12):
You need to get them either dead or disarmed, because
they're fanatics. They don't care about economics, they don't care about,
you know, anything but the religious fanaticism they have. I'm
not talking to all of them, but it's kind of
like fight in the SS in World War Two. You
know that's how fanatical.
Speaker 1 (34:34):
Well, no, you're dead on, Jack, I'm telling you you're
dead on. I mean, that's the regime and their supporters
or a bunch of fanatics. And you know, I think
it's even worse than the SS in this sense. In
this sense, Jack, or the Imperial Japanese, it's glory to
die for a lah. In other words, Oh we die
fighting America. Great, I'm a martyr. I get my seventy
(34:56):
two virgins in heaven. So it's it's all. I'm most sick.
But they say they have like a perverse incentive. Oh
my god, let me die. I'm going to go to
the gates of Heaven with Allah and my seventy two virgins.
I mean, that's how sick these people are. It's like
a death cult, like, yeah, let's die. Yeahah, you know,
I mean it's you go, it's it's twisted, it's perverse,
(35:19):
it's it's evil, it's sick. Jack. I've got to ask
you this because obviously you're a military man and you're
very experienced. If we do go all in, as I
think Trump now has made the decision to go all
in the idea that we're going to police the strait
of Hormouse and charge a toll. Do you like that idea?
(35:44):
Should we be the permanent policeman of the Strait where
we're guaranteeing safe passage, but for a fee, you know whatever,
fifteen percent, twenty percent? Should that be the role of
the United States that in the end after this war,
we control the straight, we run the straight, we administer
(36:05):
the straight, and we get paid by everybody for doing it.
What say you.
Speaker 3 (36:12):
Like it? And I'll tell you why. The role of
the US Navy is to you know, obviously the role
of all navies, you know, originally was to bread piracy
in the high seas, which in effect they're doing I
get it, but getting paid for it by having nations.
Now what you should do, Jeff, I would submit to
you this, What Donald should do is say, look, everybody
(36:33):
contribute a frigate or two frigates, or an aircraft carrier.
The French cut a few of them. Still, it's like,
you got to get down here because eighty percent of
euroil comes through here, not os, and you guys take
the job. We've got better things to do. We don't
have the ships and everything else that we may need
in the Pacific. We can't have them, you know, messing
(36:56):
around for that long in the straight of hormones. What
the rest of the world it gets the oil the
Free countries of Europe. Let them do it.
Speaker 1 (37:06):
Interesting. In other words, share the burden, we'll liberate it,
we'll open it up, we'll knock out these you know,
we'll knock out the IRGC. But in the long term,
you know, the oil goes to China, the oil goes
to Asia, the oil goes to Europe. It doesn't go
to US. So you guys patrol it because we need
(37:27):
our navy elsewhere i e. Primarily in the Pacific to
deter China. Interesting. Interesting,
