Does Trump Need Congress to Attack Iran?

Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Seven two six six sixty eight sixty eight is the number. Okay,
many of you have been texting, emailing the Cooner man
saying cooner. For God's sake, it's practically eight twenty. Now,
what about the Cooner country poll? Question of the day?
All right, listen now to Caroline Levitt, Press secretary. She

(00:24):
was asked, fine, Trump wants another two weeks before he
makes a final decision on whether the United States will
formally or if the United States formally decides to join
Israel to bomb Iran's nuclear weapons program. She was then asked,
if the President gives the green light to start launching

(00:48):
US strikes on the Mullahs and on their nuclear enrichment infrastructure,
will Congress have a vote? Will Trump go to Congress
get an authorization for war and get authority from Congress
to launch this bombing, these bombing attacks on Iran. Listen

(01:13):
to Caroline Levitt's response, roll cut two a a mic.

Speaker 2 (01:20):
If the US worst take some type of military action,
would the President go to Congress to seek war authority.
I'm not going to engage in hypotheticals. I gave you
the statement from the President He'll make a decision within
two weeks.

Speaker 1 (01:35):
So he's going to make his decision. But she's not
getting into hypotheticals. Uh, you know, look, let me ask
the poll question and then I want to get your take. So,
can President Trump use these bunker buster bombs? Say at
four doh? Can he launch this US bombing campaign in

(01:57):
Iran without the permission of Congress? A? Yes, B no.
I want to hear from you. Can President Trump use
these bunker buster bombs in Iran, this bombing campaign without

(02:17):
the In other words, if he decides to go and
he decides to order these strikes, can he do it
without the permission of Congress? A? Yes, B no. You
can vote on our web page wrko dot com slash
Coooner wrko dot com slash cooner kuh and as a

(02:41):
national er, you can also vote via x. I'm very
active on X my handle there at the Kooner Report
all one word and as always the Kooner Country Poll
Question of the Day sponsored by Marios Mario. Those quality roofing,

(03:02):
siding and windows. I personally think he should go to Congress.
I know it'll take a little bit longer, but to me, uh,
when you're gonna take our country to war and an
issue that is as momentous as this, you need to
have a vigorous debate and discussion by the American people

(03:24):
through their elected representatives. And yes, I believe he should
get authority and authorization from Congress. But that's me I
want to hear from you, Sean in Louisville. Thanks for
holding Sean, and welcome.

Speaker 2 (03:42):
Thanks Jeff. Let's go, Brandon.

Speaker 1 (03:47):
Let's go Brandon, my friend.

Speaker 2 (03:51):
So, I guess what my opinion on all this is.
You know, obviously, I'm again sitting boots on the ground.
I think Trump should probably go to Congress if he
was going to do anything other, you know, anything beyond
dropping a bunker buster or a couple of bunker busters.

Speaker 3 (04:10):
On the mountain.

Speaker 2 (04:12):
And I say that because it's not like we have
that kind of argument. Whenever we do other military strikes.
You know, we drop bombs, you know, smaller bombs. So obviously,
I mean, we're just talking about the size of the bomb. Granted, sure,
if we went on some campaign we're bombing military bases
and all over the place, all o'b Brian ran, that's

(04:34):
you know, that's a completely different story. But to say
that we shouldn't just drop a couple of bombs on
one nuclear facility. I think I think it's a I
don't know. I think it's a little much. I think
we can totally. I think Trump could do that without costs.

Speaker 1 (04:48):
Sean, I promise, I'll give you all the time in
the world. But just to reinforce your point, in his
first term, when he destroyed ISIS, and he did destroy ISIS,
isis to me was uh was created because of Obama.
I believe I blame him for the rise in ISIS.
Trump took care of that and did the world and

(05:09):
the regent a massive favor. He dropped the mother of
all bombs, multiple mother of all bombs, and smashed the
caliphate and ordered the assassination of Beg Daddy, and he
got no authorization from Congress and nobody cared. So there
is precedent for that, There's no question. Please keep going.

Speaker 2 (05:32):
Yeah, and actually to back up your point too, I mean,
we all know that Obama was pretty much the he
was the drone strike in chief, and he's definitely didn't
he definitely did not go to Congress every single time
he did that.

Speaker 1 (05:43):
So that's right.

Speaker 2 (05:45):
But I think that in terms of if Trump should
do something, I have been frustrated over the last week
or so hearing people discuss, you know, oh, what's they
it's gonna think, it's gonna split this. I think in
this particular moment, you know, especially we're he's not looking
at another term. He really needs to think about history
and how history remembers him. Because if we don't do anything,

(06:10):
and if he doesn't get involved, or he doesn't drop
the bunker, and for some reason something survives in terms
of a nuclear program and there is some sort of
an attack twenty years from now, they'll look back at
this time. You know. This is like we look back
at Clinton and we say nine to eleven could have
not happened if Clinton would have taken Osama bin Laden out.

(06:30):
Clinton decided not to. Right, So in this scenario, does
Trump want to be Clinton, who's remembered for letting some
attack happen twenty years from now, or does he want
to be you know Obama.

Speaker 1 (06:43):
Sean dropped the mic. Okay, my friends, it's now coming
across the wires. Remember they were meeting the Iranian negotiators
were meeting with foreign ministers of Europe in Geneva, Switzerland.
And now there are some official statements that have come out.
This is big break news hat tip Fox News, but

(07:03):
it's other wire services are reporting this as well. Let
me just read to you the lead, and that pretty
much says everything you need to know. Iranian Foreign Minister
a boss A Ragchi now has said that Iran is
rejecting talks with the United States amid the country's conflict

(07:26):
with Israel. He also called Washington a partner in crime
with Israel. This is now according to the Iranian news agency,
that they're now sending out to the wire services across
the entire world. So I don't know the Ayatola may

(07:48):
change his mind, but it looks like we've gotten their answer.
Trump gave them two weeks last chance at a negotiated settlement,
last chance at not having the United States potentially enter
the war and this thing diplomatically, and the Mullahs have
given us their response, which was predictable because in a

(08:09):
way they're sort of like the Islamist version of Bill
and Sudbury. With all due respect to Bill, they never
miss an opportunity, to miss an opportunity. They're consistently wrong.
And again you're dealing with absolute fanatics, lunatics, radical Islamic
extremists who are completely disconnected from reality, and in a way,

(08:35):
as I said in the opening hour of the show,
I find it hard to believe that the Mullas would
be willing to surrender their nuclear weapons program because for
the entire basis of the regime, the purpose, the mission
of the regime from its inception in nineteen seventy nine,
is to eventually acquire the bomb, to bring about the

(08:56):
end of days, to bring about the Machi as they
call them, with a twelfty mom, to usher in the
end of days, this end of the world whereby a
world Muslim empire now triumphs, and it has to happen
with the annihilation of Israel, the death of the Jews,
the death of America, the great Satan in a big

(09:17):
ball of fire. The ball of fire is obviously the
nuclear weapon, the nuke. So when Trump said no enrichment
and no nuclear weapon, for these Mullahs, no enrichment means
no nukes. No nukes means no twelfthy mom, no fulfillment
of the so called Shia prophecy. So they're never going

(09:38):
to give up their nuclear weapons program, even if it
means more war, even if it means I don't know
how many Iranians can die. They don't care. Even if
it means World War III, it doesn't matter. So they've
given us their answer. The question now is what should
Trump do. I think the diploma negotiation option is now.

(10:02):
I think dead. You never know, never say never, but
it looks like it's over. They've given us their response.
So should Trump now basically say okay, address the nation,
address the country in some ways, address the world, and say,
even at this late late hour, with the bombs falling

(10:25):
on Tehran, with the Uranians now seeing their nuclear enrichment
sites getting blown to smitherings by Israel, the Mullahs still
refused to accept abandoning the bomb and enrichment. And I
gave them every possibility at peace, every even another two

(10:46):
week extension. And notice they didn't even wait two weeks.
They didn't even wait one week. Hell, they didn't even
wait twenty four hours. First chance, they got the middle finger.
That was their reply, the middle finger. And so the
question now for Trump is obvious. Either he goes in

(11:09):
with Israel and we level four Doh and maybe other
nuclear sites as well, and widen this massive air and
missile campaign. This bombing campaign against the Mullahs, or he
gives the bunker busters and the bombs the bomber to

(11:29):
Netanyahu and gives him the green light. BB you take
them all out. Let me add one other thing now.
And this is a very important point, and I want
to get your take. Six one seven two six six
sixty eight sixty eight. Israel's defense minister yesterday came out
and said that after that horrific ballistic missile attack on

(11:55):
a major hospital, in fact, the biggest hospital in southern Israel,
in clearly a war crime. Iran committed a war crime.
There's no question they targeted civilians. They've been deliberately targeting civilians,
only civilians. They're not even hitting any military bases or installations.

(12:15):
They are deliberately trying to reign missiles on civilian populations
and civilian areas. This time they struck a hospital, nearly
a hundred badly injured. Israel's defense minister now has come
out and said that it's time for Israel to eliminate
i e. Assassinate the Ayatola, take out the supreme leader.

(12:40):
Ali hamany Many interpreted Trump yesterday coming out saying one
more chance in negotiation let's give it two more weeks,
as essentially him telling Israel easy on the assassination program,
don't take out how many now, because we still may

(13:02):
need to negotiate with him. There's now no negotiation. If
there's no negotiation, should Trump give Israel the green light?
Apparently Israel knows where he is. He's in some bunker
in a suburb in Tehran, and they've got precision guided bombs.

(13:25):
They believe they've got him, and they could drop a
couple of these precision missile strikes and they could take
how many out, decapitate the regime, kill the Supreme Leader.
He is the head of the government, the head of
the country. He is the head of their faith. If

(13:45):
he falls, they believe the regime may fall. Should Israel now,
in the wake of this response, assassinate, eliminate, however you
want to phrase it, take out Ali how many iron
Supreme Leader? Six one seven two six six sixty eight
sixty eight. But the bigger question what should Trump do

(14:09):
Now he's got his answer. Should he now join the
bombing campaign or should he just tell bb you go
and finish it? Six one seven two six six sixty
eight sixty eight. Is the number Tom in Wisconsin. Thanks
for holding Tom and welcome.

Speaker 4 (14:33):
Hi Jeff.

Speaker 5 (14:34):
Yeah, capture that bearded murderer and shave that beard off
and then put him in that prison in El Salvador.
But my point is the importance of the nuclear facility.
If it's possible, it doesn't look like it is now,
to pay off several of the or the entire amount

(14:54):
of military officers in charge of that facility, pay him
on and have them open the facility so we can
go in there and get the evidence and show the
world the evidence. It also verifies our intelligence to see
how accurate the Jewish the Israelis were as well as
us as to how far they were. You know, turning

(15:17):
and blowing that facility up is probably what's going to
have to be done. But there's also a great risk
of exploding that facility's contents into a nuclear dust cloud
that poisons the entire area for ten thousand years, So
that would be an economic ecologic catastrophe. So there's a

(15:37):
lot of advantages to see if it's possible to pay
off some of these military officers so that they just
let us in and you pay that Knittis off to
also set up a potential political system that the country
evolves to. The political officers paid off with, well.

Speaker 1 (15:59):
I think you're a you know what, I think you
almost laid out a blueprint. Okay, this is from seven
to eight to one. You can text the cooner man
seven zero four seven zero seven zero four seven zero.
Jeff Trump did not blink to the contrary. He opened
his eyes even wider. He's like a good oncologist. He's

(16:21):
observed that the medicine is working. The tumors are shrinking
and not spreading. Radical surgery has certain side effects and
unknown risks that can't be undone or even adequately predicted.
No matter what the hateful media say. Trump is a

(16:42):
healer at home and abroad, and I would encourage him
to address the nation and in the way only Trump
can do. Shame the Democrats and the demonstrators now taking
to the streets at this very dangerous time in history.
I agree. I agree. In fact, this is a huge

(17:05):
story not here but in Britain. So in front of
the Iranian embassy in London, there was an anti Islamic
regime protest in London by protesters. They are waving the
flag of the pre nineteen seventy nine revolutionary Iran. They

(17:28):
are supporters of the Crown Prince Pahlavi. They would like
to see the Crown Prince return to Iran. The mullis
to be toppled. And apparently six men Islamic thugs and
they're now roaming London attacked the demonstrators and protesters. Two
of them were sent to the hospital beaten to a pulp.

(17:52):
So even in London, even in London, these Islamist savages
have done supporters. Here in the United States, it's been
about forty eight hours. Now you are starting to see
protests in favor of the Mullahs by Democrat activists. These

(18:13):
are the same that we're on college campuses. We're protesting ice,
protesting Doge. They just recycle these guys and so now
they've taken to the streets. They're waiving the Areva, the
Iranian Islamic flag, the current flag of the Ayatolas over
the last forty six years, and they are now defending

(18:36):
the Mullahs, attacking Israel and saying hands off Iran. They
stand with the Ayatolas. This is in New York, in Chicago,
in la and I'm telling you it's inevitable it will
come to Boston this weekend. Take it to the bank.

(18:57):
Six one seven two six six sixty eight sixty eight.
The Mullas now have slammed the door. It may be
the last time they slam the door on a negotiated settlement.
They say, America now is engaged in war crimes. We
are a bunch of war criminals for supporting Israel's attack
on Iran. They will not negotiate with us. They refuse

(19:20):
to negotiate with US. So Trump now has a big
decision to make. He's given himself two weeks to make it.
It's pretty much now. I think the diplomatic option is
now off the table after the foreign minister said we
will never negotiate with the United States. So if that's

(19:41):
the case, Trump either has to join Israel or stay
out and let BB finish the job. What say you?
Six one seven two six six sixty eight sixty eight.
And let me just say this, because this needs to
be said. How incredible I believe? Backward, stupid, primitive, primitive,

(20:06):
that's all I can think. That's the only word that
keeps coming to my mind. Primitive, This leadership, this theocratic
regime in Iran, is I mean, they really do remind
me of the Japanese in World War Two, the Japanese
military leadership, or you know, as I said, Hitler and
the bunker. I mean literally, the regime is collapsing all

(20:29):
around them, and these idiots are like, no surrender, a
la hala.

Speaker 4 (20:36):
No Sarrander.

Speaker 1 (20:38):
Death to America, Death to America. Okay, okay. I don't
know what else to tell you. There is a video
that's gone viral on TikTok. I hope you see it.
You're gonna You're not gonna believe it. It is images
of Iran in the nineteen seventies under the shawl, before

(21:02):
these savage Mullahs took over. You're not gonna believe it.
Hotels everywhere, beaches, women in bikinis, men in speedos. Do
you know that Iran used to be a tourist mecca
for Westerners because they have beautiful beat or at least

(21:22):
they had beautiful beaches, tourists, Western tourists everywhere, Restaurants everywhere,
nightclubs everywhere, women, as I said, in bikinis, women in skirts,
none of them covered fashionable. By the way, the most

(21:42):
advanced healthcare system in the entire region, a thriving, booming,
commercial economy. They had food courts. You see them eating
and drinking at cafes. They had alcohol. You got to
see this now. Yes, it was a one party state.

(22:05):
Yes it was an autocratic government. Yes, I'm not saying
the Shaw wasn't repressive. Yes, but my god, they were modern.
They were Western, or at least partially Western. There's movie
theaters there. You know, Jaws now is it's gonna be
the fiftieth anniversary. They were watching Jaws in the movie theaters.

(22:31):
And then you compare that the images and by the way,
people were happy. I'm getting emails. I should read them, Jeff.
My family fled when the Iatolas took over. And I
look at family pictures of my family in Iran in
the nineteen seventies before everybody was happy, singing, dancing. They

(22:56):
were at their homes, birthday parties, whatever it may be.
You know, women were dressed like normal, fashionable women. Men
were fashionably dressed. You know, there was a lot of food.
People were happy, people were dancing. And the moment home
Mayne and his clerics, his Islamo fascist clerics took over

(23:20):
all of that, all of that was destroyed and now
at their twelve hour, when they're facing now being toppled,
they still cling to their dream of a nuclear bomb.
Six one seven two six six sixty eight sixty eight.

(23:43):
Jimmy in Dorchester. Thanks for holding Jimmy, and welcome.

Speaker 6 (23:49):
Good morning, Jeff. I want to make two points. The
first one is about Iran and the second one is
about the Bible and Trump. Ok the first one, remember
war between Iraq and Iran. In a Hussein was the leader.
I remember the.

Speaker 1 (24:08):
Night, Yes, they remember.

Speaker 6 (24:10):
They put out the minefields. What do you think the
Iranians did. They didn't want to lose soldiers, so they
sent out their young children to go through the minefield.
Remember that, Jeff and.

Speaker 1 (24:23):
Jimmy, just to reinforce. You got a great memory. They
not only sent kids, Iranian kids, Okay, ten eleven twelve
year old kids to run across the minefields to get
they would get blown up to so that the military
then could advance. But they gave them plastic keys literally

(24:45):
made in Taiwan, made in Taiwan, and the key said,
if you die for the regime, you know you get
you get blown up as you run across a minefield.
This is the key to Allah. To heaven and to paradise.
That's the kind of fanatics that run that country. But
please keep going, Jimmy.

Speaker 6 (25:06):
Right, okay, according to the Bible. Right, remember when Saul
was told by the Lord in a vision to take
out their worst enemy, Themalakites, and kill all the live stock.
And Saul didn't complete what the Lord told him to do,
so the Lord punished them. He left the lot of

(25:26):
the livestock. Well, what this has to do with Trump
and the Bible is, remember he was almost assassinated twice.
It was divine intervention. The Lord saved Trump for a reason, Jeff,
because he has to do something about Iran. They are
pure evil. And if he had signed where you said that,

(25:50):
they called off the treaty because if he had signed
that treaty, he would have signed it with the devil.
But here's the thing, Jeff. The Lord saved Trump because
he's gotta have make a decision. He's gotta either help
Israel or he's gotta do it himself, take out that regime,
because it's the regime of the Devil.

Speaker 1 (26:13):
Jimmy, I think their days are numbered. Really. I think
the only question now is do we do it with
Israel behind the scenes as we're doing it now, or
do we do it formally, And there are pros and
cons to both, to both obviously, but really at this point,

(26:33):
the Europeans are shocked by the way. The Europeans can't
believe it. They just they're looking in disbelief. They they
were anticipating some kind of a counteroffer. You know. What
they thought was Iran would make some concessions and try
to haggle. But this blanket slap in the face, this

(26:54):
blanket you know, rejection. They are the Europeans, they're saying,
are just shocked. They're stunned. They're stunned. They can't believe it.
And by the way, this is an incredible development. Europe
is generally anti Israel. Not every country, but most countries
anti Israel, quite pro Palestinian. They're not happy with Israel's

(27:16):
war in Gaza. They've been very critical of Israel and Netanyahu.
The European Union is united on baby bombing Iran. In fact,
as I said yesterday, but it bears repeating. The Chancellor
of Germany, Frederick Mertz, came out and said Iran is sorry,
Israel is doing the dirty work for us against Iran.

(27:38):
That they're doing Europe a favor by taking out their
nuclear weapons program because the ballistic missiles, these more advanced
modern missiles that Iran has have the capability to hit
Berlin and Paris and Rome and Vienna and Warsaw and
London and Dublin. They're trying to work on a missile

(28:03):
that could hit the eastern part of the United States.
They haven't quite gotten there yet, but they can definitely
strike Europe with a nuclear bomb if they get it.
And so the Europeans are backing that, nyahou so, and
they just couldn't believe that the Mullas would just slap
them in the face, slap Trump in the face. Jimmy,

(28:26):
thank you very much for that call. So Okay, I mean,
I don't know what else to tell you, Okay, six
one seven two six six sixty eight, sixty eight. I
think now the path is very clear. It's going to
be This is gonna end militarily. So diplomacy is now dead,
Negotiations are now dead. They've given us their final answer.

(28:50):
So now the only issue is does Israel do it
alone with US supporting them in the background, or do
we do it together. That's the only issue now, Sonny,
you may disagree. I'm just giving you my honest opinion,
Sonny in Plymouth. Thanks for holding Sonny, and welcome.

Speaker 3 (29:11):
Good morning Jack.

Speaker 1 (29:12):
Hi Sonny, I.

Speaker 3 (29:15):
Enjoy the Cooner report. You doing great job exposing the
Democrats and all their lives.

Speaker 1 (29:23):
Thank you, Thank you, Sonny.

Speaker 3 (29:25):
I put my faith in President Trump. I think that
he's going to make the right decision. But one of
my questions, all of this enriched uranium that Iran is hiding,
don't they have to give it up rather than us

(29:45):
blowing it up because of the radioactive fallout? And also
is Iran being advised by China right now? And what
are those planes from China doing in Iran? What are
they going to take out of there?

Speaker 1 (30:00):
Well, Sunny, look again, I don't have any special insight
or access to intelligence. I'm just giving you. I do
a lot of reading, I do a lot of prep work.
I'm just giving you my honest this is my honest take. Okay,
I read Iran. Yes they're fanatics, no question. But what
I read this response as China has told them we

(30:23):
have your back. The Iranians got something from China. I
don't know what they got, but they think that they
can weather this storm. And I think China is petrified
that the regime is going to fall because they've invested
a lot in the Mullas. And it's not just that
they're buying their oil and natural gas, which is huge,

(30:45):
but the Chinese want the minerals. Maryland and Norwood mentioned
the lithium. There's a lot of rare earth minerals in Iran.
By the way, Iran has so many natural resources. It's
truly one of the wealthiest countries, you know, resource wise,
in the way world. It's resource rich, rich, rich rich,

(31:05):
and the Chinese won it, and they fear. Look Pavlavi
if he cuts the power the crown prince. He's pro American,
he's pro Western. He's like his old man. He may
be a bit of a his old man. Look, his
old man was a little bit arrogant. His old man
was a bit of a prima donna. His old man.

(31:25):
I mean, just you know, he was not the easiest
guy to deal with. Eisenhower found him difficult. Kennedy found
him difficult. I'll be Jay found him difficult. Nixon found
him difficult. You know, he was prickly, he was very proud,
he was Persian. He had his own way of doing things.
So I'm not trying to romanticize the guy, but fundamentally

(31:47):
he was pro American, pro Western. He was on our side, Okay,
for all of his flaws. The Crown Prince is the same,
like he's a chip off the old block. So the
Chinese know if Pufflov comes back to power, even if
he's in a transitional government, it doesn't matter. The next

(32:07):
government will be much more pro American, pro Western, frankly,
more nationalistic in a good sense. In other words, we're
not just going to allow ourselves to become a vassal,
a colony, a proxy of communist China. We're not just
gonna become a dependency on communist China and Russia. So

(32:31):
they know that the next regime is gonna be much
more anti China, anti Russia, frankly, and pro Western, there's
no question, there's no question. And they will abandon the
nuclear weapons program, so they're not an effective proxy anymore
for the communist Chinese. So I read the evidence. If

(32:52):
I was advising Trump, I'm like, yeah, the Iatolas are crazy,
and they're like Hitler and the Bunker. They're gonna go down.
But the China's in their ear. They think China's gonna
give them enough muscle or enough backing that they can
somehow survive and then eventually rebuild. So you know, that's

(33:15):
how I read it. So that's why to me, the
advice now that I would give them is you don't
stop until you have utterly destroyed, decimated, shattered their entire
nuclear program, all of their ballistic missiles, and you do

(33:37):
everything you can to encourage the opposition to rise up.
That to me, they've got to do that now. Now.
The other thing, Sonny, is this, Yes, there is a
danger of radioactive contamination, no question, but a lot of
these sites are deep underground, so yes, there's leakage. But

(34:02):
I'm just this is what this is. What Trump is saying,
is administration, the Israelis the IAEA. They're saying, yes, it's
not good, obviously, but because it's so deep underground, much
of the radioactive contamination is contained. It's not in the sky,
it's not in the atmosphere, it's not in the clouds

(34:25):
because it's so deep in the ground. So they believe
they can mitigate a lot of the environmental ecological fallout. Ironically,
because these bunkers are so deep. But that's why, to
be honest, Sonny, what everybody really wants, and that's what

(34:46):
Trump was hoping for. Just sign the damn deal. Just
sign it and we can send into UN inspectors and
they can dismantle it thoroughly and we don't have to
even worry about any of these radiation or radioactive contamination.
But no, the Mullahs being the Mullas, that's what they do.

(35:09):
So you're dealing with seventh century medieval fanatics. They really
are there. Think seventh century barbarians, you know, and and
them with a nuclear bomb he ya yai hi ya
yai six one seven two six six sixty eight sixty eight.

(35:29):
So my point is just this. When you have the
pacifist Europeans on board, the Germans, the French, the Swedes,
the Danes, the Italians, I mean, you know these aren't
war believe me, these aren't quote unquote warmongers. When you've

(35:50):
got the EU, who they hate Israel to their very core,
saying no the Mulla's no, it's not that they can't no,
just that they can't have it, you know, I mean,
you know, look, even the Sunni Muslim powers don't want
the Mullas to get the bomb. That's why they've been

(36:11):
so quiet. So it's almost like there's an agreement among
most civilized powers in the world, whatever you do, don't
give the Ayatolas the bomb. And now we're finding out
China again again are the only ones now that are

(36:31):
giving them the advice to stay and hang on and
not give up. That's why in the end, I've said
this many times. Yes, now, in terms of acute threat,
it's Iran like the immediate immediate threat, but our greatest
long term threat, it's not even close. It's communist China.

(36:56):
And this is a different discussion for a different day.
But peel Russia away from China because that will weaken China.
Don't push Russia into China's arms. We have to strip
China of all allies possible. The weaker China is the

(37:17):
safer we are. Kathy in New Hampshire. Thanks for holding Kathy, and.

Speaker 3 (37:23):
Welcome Hi, Jeff.

Speaker 5 (37:25):
Thank you for taking the call my pleasure.

Speaker 2 (37:27):
Can let me.

Speaker 4 (37:29):
Preface by saying I am a Trump supporter. However, I
did not vote for this, as I'm sure many Americans
feel the same way. We voted to peace not escalation
of war.

Speaker 1 (37:42):
My thoughts, Kathy Ugh please hang on. I'm very happy
that you called because you do speak for a good
chunk
