Speaker 1 (00:00):
Good morning, Cooner country. Okay, my friends, very very dramatic
developments now over the weekend regarding this continuing standoff with
the regime in Tehran. So, as you know, President Trump, uh,
maybe what ten days ago, was getting ready to launch works,

(00:25):
in his words, the biggest attack.

Speaker 2 (00:29):
Since World War Two.

Speaker 1 (00:31):
It was going to be an absolutely devastating military campaign.
He was going to destroy Iran from the air, using missiles,
sea power, and basically decapitate not just the regime, but
now begin to really obliterate their civilian infrastructure, whether it
be bridges, power plants, maybe even the takeover and capture

(00:56):
of carg Island. At the last possible second, he was
approached by Iran, he says, as well as their neighbors,
who feared that this would destabilize the region, and they said,
let's give talks or piece another chance, and so they
have been talking. Now what has come out is the following.

(01:19):
Iran refuses to speak directly to American negotiators. Their top
diplomat came out and said all we are negotiating now
is with Oman, which is a country that shares the
Strait of Hormuz with Iran, and that they are negotiating

(01:43):
with Oman and through Oman with mediators indirectly with the
United States. They are now on the verge. Oman and
Iran are on the verge of a temporary deal on
the Strait of Hormuse.

Speaker 2 (02:01):
They are going to be.

Speaker 1 (02:02):
Carving out the shipping routes that each country is responsible for.
But this does not include the United States. Here is
where the bombshell news now has come.

Speaker 2 (02:16):
They will not reopen the Strait of Hormuz.

Speaker 1 (02:21):
Yes, Iran will be responsible for certain lanes or certain roots.
Oman will be responsible for certain lanes and certain roots.
But as far as they are concerned, every ship that
wants to go through must pay a toll, a fee,
a charge, and must get the explicit permission of Iran

(02:47):
to go through the Strait of Hormoose. As now, Iran
has said it is their official position that they assert
and only they assert control and sovereignty over the Strait
of Hormoose. They say, in order to reopen the strait

(03:08):
to full shipping, to full flow of oil and energy,
the United States now must agree to certain conditions. Iran's
top national security official, the Secretary for their Supreme National
Security Council, speaking on behalf of the entire regime. Said,

(03:34):
the only way the Strait of Hormoose will ever be
reopened fully thoroughly is if the United States does the following. Now,
listen to this. This is now their list of demands.
Number one. Essentially, America must surrender. All US forces must

(03:58):
pull out from the region. They must pull out or
from the proximity of Iran. And they must no longer
They must promise to no longer attack any of Iran's militias,
including Hamas has Bellah Islamic jihad in countries all over
the Middle East. Furthermore, the naval blockade must be completely

(04:24):
lifted immediately. All sanctions must be terminated permanently immediately. Iran
is now demanding that the United States pay reparations damages,
they say, for the war, and the United States must

(04:46):
unfreeze all Iranian frozen assets. Now, if they do the following,
then they will reopen the Strait of Hormuz and oil
and gas will begin to flow. Otherwise it will remain
closed unless you pay them a toll. Now, what this

(05:12):
says a couple of points, and then I'm going to
open up the phone lines. What this now clearly says,
and this is why it was a shocking decision that
they released this publicly. And by the way, Iran's foreign
minister Arakchi came out and said, we are not talking
with America directly. We refuse to talk to America directly,

(05:35):
and we will only open the Strait of Hormus if
all of our conditions are met. So what they are
now basically telling Donald Trump is they believe they have
won the war.

Speaker 2 (05:49):
They believe that.

Speaker 1 (05:50):
President Trump does not want to finish the war, that
he wants out of the war. And I think now
the Iranians have become convinced that our arsenal or our
munition stockpile is so low that Trump cannot deliver on
his promise to unleash this massive military campaign. And so

(06:14):
essentially they are going for broke. They are basically laying
down terms of surrender for the United States. They know
that Trump wants to straight fully reopened, especially with the
midterms now less than three months away. Gas at now
four dollars a gallon across the United States, inflation starting

(06:39):
to rear its ugly head the midterms now at least
if you look at the polls, not looking good for Republicans,
and so the Moullas now are essentially forcing Trump into
two options. One resumed the bombing. In other words, they're

(06:59):
calling his threat, they're daring him to follow through on
his threat. You say you want to bomb us, you
say this will be the biggest attack since World War Two,
Go ahead, launch it, We dare you. Or if you
want the straight of horror moves opened, you need to

(07:21):
accept a surrender, a defeat, a humiliating capitulation, because make
no mistake about it, make no mistake about it. If
we unilaterally lift the naval blockade, if we now terminate
all sanctions which have been in place since nineteen seventy nine,

(07:44):
if we now unfreeze all Iranian assets, never mind my God,
pay damages to them for the war, and we pull
out all of our forces near Iran and all of
our forces out of the Persian Gulf and vow to
never threaten any of their proxies again. It's a defeat.

(08:11):
It's a massive defeat for the United States. It's a
humiliating defeat for the United States. The regime will be
showered in money billions and billions, what billions, tens and
tens and tens of billions of dollars, the United States
will be effectively kicked out of the region, and Iran

(08:33):
will assert full and unconditional control over the Strait of Hormouse.
And so they're basically telling President Trump, if you want
oil and gas prices to come down, if you want
oil markets now to return to normal, if you want
to end this massive reduction in oil and natural gas supply,

(08:56):
if you want to have us lift the boot over
the most important strategic choke point in the world, which
is that strategic waterway, the Strait of Hormuz. We're over
a fifth of the world's oil and natural gas flows.
Then essentially, now you must wave the white flag of surrender. Now,

(09:19):
knowing President Trump as I do, I can tell you
he is not going to do that. If he does
do it, he won't do it. But if he does
do it, his presidency is over. The American deterrent is over,
and we are living in a new world order. If

(09:39):
a second rank power like Iran can inflict this kind
of a humiliating surrender to the United States, we as
a superpower are no more.

Speaker 2 (09:52):
And Iran now.

Speaker 1 (09:54):
Will become without question, the hedgemon of the Middle East
and China and Russia will look at the United States
and say we have been reduced to an absolute paper tiger.
So it's clear to me that President Trump does not
want to accept these terms and will not accept these terms.

(10:19):
But the fact is now it has created a stalemate.
Iran is essentially forcing him to choose door one or
door two. I believe now he has no choice but
to resume the bombing. The negotiations, to me, are pointless.

(10:42):
If these are their demands, these hardline, absurd demands, then
there's nothing for us to negotiate. So President Trump now
is not going to have to either choose door two
or make the biggest decision of his presidency either resume
the massive bombing of Iran.

Speaker 2 (11:04):
Okay, on Friday, I just want to give you the
whole background, and I want to take your calls.

Speaker 1 (11:10):
On Thursday, going into Friday, President Trump told reporters that
a deal now with Iran to reopen the strait of
horror moves was, in the president's words, quote unquote, imminent.
He's been saying this now, by the way, for a while,
but he said he was very confident after he was

(11:32):
prepared to launch, As I said, the biggest military attack
since World War Two. But Saudi Arabia pulled, the United
Arab Emirates, Qatar, many Kuwait, many of our allies in
the Persian Gulf, saying, please don't do it. It will lead
to massive destabilization. We'll see millions of potential refugees from Iran,

(11:55):
and of course they will target our economies, our oil,
our oil in structure with Iran's missiles and drones. It
will devastate our economy. Please don't do it. Give negotiations
another chance, President Trump said. Through back channels, the Iranian
regime said the same thing. However, Iran now has come

(12:18):
out very militant, honestly to me, extremely disrespectful, saying they
refuse to even talk to American negotiators only through intermediaries
because they say we are the aggressor and that we
owe Iran. Iran is the victim. We are the aggressor,

(12:38):
and as far as they're concerned, forget any discussion on
the nuclear agreement, just simply to reopen the Strait of
Hormuz and so Americans can start enjoying lower gas and
energy prices. Iran says that they now have a set

(12:59):
of conditions which they say are absolutely non negotiable. Mohammed
bagger Zolgadar, he is the Secretary of iran Supreme National
Security Council, publicly told both the Iranian people and the
US government that if you even want to begin opening

(13:23):
the strait, the United States would need to permanently end
the war, lift its naval blockade, withdraw all of its forces.

Speaker 2 (13:37):
And all sanctions. I mean, you can see these.

Speaker 1 (13:42):
I mean they're going for the jugular, free Iran's frozen
assets all of it, pay war reparations to Iran and
threats and insults, and stop military action against Iran's militia
allies around the region, and then.

Speaker 2 (14:03):
They will open the strait.

Speaker 1 (14:05):
Essentially surrender, surrender, and then shower the regime with tens
and tens of billions of dollars. Now, privately, Trump is
telling his aides that he's concerned about the impact of

(14:26):
the war on the midterms. Publicly, he says, I don't care,
you know, let the chips fall where they may. If
I lose Congress, I lose Congress. Privately, he can see
now the rise of Mamdani of Abdul el Sayed, of
these very radical communist Democrats who are poised to win

(14:48):
seats in both the House and in the Senate, and
they are vowing to destroy Trump's presidency. So obviously he'd
like to keep a House and keep the Senate. So
he now told AIDS he does not need a nuclear
deal with Iran, that he wants to scale back his objectives.

(15:10):
That they've destroyed all three of their big nuclear sites.
He believes they cannot reconstitute their nuclear weapons program. That
if they try to rebuild their nuclear weapons program, he's
been telling people privately and to some extent publicly, but
privately he's really getting into some details that we have

(15:32):
the intelligence capabilities to monitor them, to watch them, to
track them, and so if they should try to rebuild,
Trump says, we will then resume bombing and smash those
nuclear sites again. So he doesn't want to get the
enriched uranium from the ground. As he told AIDS over

(15:54):
the weekend, it's so deeply buried nobody accept US or
Communist China can access it. And so what he's telling
AIDS is because it's buried so deep, we essentially have
it because the Iranians can't get to it. And so

(16:14):
he's saying We're going to leave the enriched uranium in
the ground, this is what he's telling AIDS. And we
don't need to get a deal on Iran's nuclear weapons
program because essentially he has shattered their nuclear weapons program
and they can monitor any attempts to reconstitute or rebuild.
So all he's now focused on is a deal to

(16:38):
reopen the Strait of Hormoose. If he can get Hormose
reopened with Iran committed to keeping it reopened, he will
then declare victory and come home. Iran, sensing that Trump
wants this deal, is now putting down the toughest possible

(16:59):
can conditions imaginable and hence these hardline, to me absurd demands.
So this is where things stand right now. Trump can
either completely surrender and capitulate, which is what essentially Iran
is asking him to do to reopen the strait. I

(17:21):
don't think he'll do it. I think there's no chance,
there's a snowball's chance in hell that he'll do it. Okay,
my friends, as I said on X last night, but
let me just repeat it, I think it's time to
resume the bombing. I'm just calling it the way I
see it. To me, Door one is unacceptable, which is

(17:42):
a surrender. I think to me that would be absolutely
dishonorable and humiliating for the United States and honestly very
bad for the world. Number two, as I said, is
to resume the bombing, in other words, to follow through
on Trump's plan for this massive attack. There is door three,

(18:03):
which is just wash your hands of the whole thing,
don't sign anything, don't agree to anything, and just come
on home. Just come home the clear victory and come
on home and let the rest of the world deal
with the mess. Regarding the Strait of horm Moose, I
don't quite like door three because how do I mean

(18:27):
to me, you should finish what you start, and the
Strait of Hormuz, this mess could take a long time
to resolve. You know, the Europeans, the Indians, the Chinese,
the Persian Gulf allies. It's you know, the demining process,
Iran wanting to assert control and imposing tolls. This thing

(18:50):
could go on for months and months and months and months,
which means oil and gas are going to remain extremely high,
which means going to have a much weaker economy going
into the midterms. So to me, let's finish it once
and for all, and we forcefully reopened the Strait of

(19:13):
Hormuz using our military and our navy. But that's me
I want to hear from you. What I can just
tell you is this, there's now a sense I just
get this sense. I hope I'm wrong, I pray I'm wrong.
But you know, you look at the Vietnam War. We

(19:34):
never lost a single battle, but the political class, through
either incompetence or treachery, or lack of will, whatever it is,
our politicians lost the war even though we never lost
a single battle.

Speaker 2 (19:56):
Any rock. We never lost a single ba.

Speaker 1 (20:01):
In fact, when Bush implemented the surge, we pretty much
crushed the insurgency. And then it was of course Obama
who snatched defeat from the jaws of victory. So again,
we never lost a single battle, and yet our politicians
turned it into a defeat Afghanistan. It was their longest

(20:25):
war over twenty years. We never lost a single battle,
and we left with our tail between our legs.

Speaker 2 (20:37):
And so I think it's starting. There's a pattern. Now.

Speaker 1 (20:41):
We win wars on the battlefield, and then we politically
lose them over and over and over again because of
either a lack of competence, a lack of planning, a
lack of will, whatever, a fickleness in the American public,

(21:03):
whatever it may be. And now I'm starting to get
the same sense here with Iran that it's just it's
it's it's not the fact that we've won every battle,
the fact that we have absolutely defeated, destroyed, and degraded

(21:24):
Iran's military. And yet here we are again at the endgame,
and there's incoherence, there's hesitation, it's on again, off again,
tit for tad bombing, ceasefire, no cease fire, back to
a ceasefire, no ceasefire. We have a deal, we don't

(21:47):
have a deal. A deal is imminent. No, it's not imminent.
And again I fear that Iran will emerge when everything
is said and done, potentially stronger than when the war began,
and this will be seen as another defeat for the
United States, not because we lost, we didn't lose, but

(22:12):
because we didn't have either the strategy, the fortitude, the
will to strategically convert this into a geopolitical victory. And honestly,
I'm so sick and tired of this. I mean, I

(22:33):
just want to say this, Hey, look, I hope Trump
resumes the bombing. I hope he says to hell with it.
I gave him one last chance. I gave him an
off ramp. And by the way, look at the ingratitude.
Look at the ingratitude. These are the terms you come
back with. So we lift the blockade, lifts completely, all

(22:57):
sanctions lifted, and the war we leave, all our forces,
leave the entire region. We pay you reparations, we unfreeze
all of your assets. I mean, the only seriously, the
only thing they're not asking for is that Trump kissed

(23:19):
the rear end of the Rayatola. That's it, seriously that
if I were them, I'd say, you know what, then
here's a seventh condition. At the peace signing. You gotta
go along one. You gotta kiss his rear end. Okay,
he lifts up his erope and going there for a kiss.
I'm serious. These are your counter these are your counter demands.

(23:43):
So you've never been serious about reopening the strait. You've
been stringing us along the whole time. You guys are
a bunch of psychopaths. It's very obvious that hate us
so much, As Iran's Foreign Minutes said, we can't even
stand the sight of you.

Speaker 2 (24:04):
We don't even want to negotiate with you.

Speaker 1 (24:06):
Face to face. That's how much we hate you, that's
how much we disrespect you. Just the sight of you
makes us want to vomit. So we're only gonna use
third parties or intermediaries.

Speaker 2 (24:22):
I'm tired.

Speaker 1 (24:23):
Look, if this is going to be now the American
way of war, which is we fight, we win every battle,
and then we blow it at the endgame again and
again and again and again, then let's just not go
to war. Oh I'm serious, Let's just forget it. I
mean it just it's it's It does a lot more

(24:45):
damage to do it this way than if you just
didn't go to war. Because here's the problem. Part of
our power is the perception of our power. The world
rightly fears us, we're a deterrent. But if the world

(25:07):
starts to say, you know, guys, they ran out of Vietnam,
they ran out of Iraq, they ran out of Afghanistan.
Now they just ran out of Iran, the Americans cut
and run. That's just that's the American way of war. Yeah,
you got to absorb a lot of punishment. It's true,
they do a lot of bombing, and yeah, they beat you,

(25:27):
they kick your ass on the battlefield.

Speaker 2 (25:29):
No question.

Speaker 1 (25:31):
But if you hold out and hold out and hold
out and absorb punishment and wait them out, the Yanks
don't have the patience to finish anything off. Well, now
your credibility is zero. Your allies don't trust you anymore. Like,
for example, if I'm China, why wouldn't I attack Taiwan?

(25:56):
I mean, it's Trump, and you know, with him, you
got to be careful. But especially since if Trump leaves.
When Trump leaves, if I'm China, I'm like, guys, you
think the Americans are going to fight it all the
way out?

Speaker 2 (26:09):
No, they'll fight.

Speaker 1 (26:12):
Maybe, and then eventually they'll leave. And that's the signal
we're going to be sending to all of our enemies
around the world that our commitment means nothing, that our
word ultimately means nothing, and that we may have the
strongest military in the history of the world. But if

(26:33):
we're not ready to fully use it to the end,
then what's the point of using it, what's the point
of having it? And so I think we're at a
watershed moment now. I think Trump needs to make a
fundamental decision you cannot negotiate with them. It is now
crystal clear you're banging your head against the wall. In fact,

(26:59):
to me, they're demands are almost embarrassing to us as
a country. And either you declare victory and say let
the world handle the straight of hor moose. I'm done.
I've got the midterms to win. Or you finish what

(27:19):
you started and launch the largest attack since World War
Two and you break, you shatter this regime into a
thousand pieces. I think he's got no other option, but
that's me. So my question to you, to the great

(27:40):
audience of Kooner Country, as things stand right now, and
we clearly are at a pivotal moment, what should President
Trump do? What do you want him to do? A
agree to Iran's demands, humiliating as they are. Two or

(28:04):
B resume the massive bombing lines are jammed. Angelo in Rockland,
you're going to kick us off. Angelo, thanks for holding
and welcome.

Speaker 3 (28:18):
Good morning, Jeff. Yeah. My belief in this whole thing
is the world economy could be at stake, So the
world has to help us float in the straight of
how moves to keep things going. It shouldn't be the
burden of the United States. We have every right to
pound them into submission for what they've been doing to
our soldiers in Beirut, on on and on, as we

(28:40):
all know. But even more so than that, Jeff, we
have to confront what happened over the past couple of
terms with other presidents, not even to give them the
recognition of mentioning their names, because what they did was
they infiltrated our country while we were sleeping at night,
by the bustlers and by trainloads and by airplane loads

(29:03):
at night, deposing everybody all over the country. Because we're
at war, whether you want to say it or not,
with Islam. They're here in the streets of New York
giving us hell. I would bust them out like they
bust them in at night, with no one knowing, women's children,
men out and that's the end of it. We're at war.
They want to take us over, and that's what we're

(29:25):
up against. The kind people of the United States have
to wake up or have their head on the butcher
block when it comes time that they're in charge. And
that's as simple as it can get. We have to
move forward and take out the enemy within Let's go,
and that's the end of it, and take the island
of what's the name of that.

Speaker 1 (29:45):
Island, cart Island, that's their main oil export hub.

Speaker 3 (29:50):
Over half the world float out there. And you know,
you have to vote for Trump and for the American
Act because this is what they want. The enemy within
is here and they're doing a hell of a job
taking us over without a bullet. We have to step
up with our pens or there's going to be blood
on the streets sooner or later. And God bless America

(30:11):
and let's get it done.

Speaker 2 (30:13):
Angela, thank you, thank you so much for that call.
I appreciate it.

Speaker 1 (30:18):
Well, look on the Save America Act, just so that
everybody knows Thune one, I mean, he got what he wanted,
that little treacherous rhino. He now has a Senate is
in recess. He has sent all senators away for what
is it a thirty seven day vacation, so basically a
five week vacation. So they're not coming back until what

(30:42):
is it middle of September. There will be no Save
America Act before the midterms. John Thune has now guaranteed that.
So he sold us down the river. That's point number one,
point number two. Very quickly, the Senate candidate for Michigan,
the radical Islamo communist nominee Abdel El Sayed has been

(31:09):
caught on tape with his buddy Hassan Piker, the other
Muslim Marxist extremists. He's a full blown Maoist, a communist,
a big streamer, big podcaster, huge influencer on the Hamas
wing of the Democratic Party, in which Abdul El Sayed
has been caught saying, not all people hate Muslims, but

(31:35):
all Muslims hate Americans. So he's openly bragging about Islamic
hatred for the United States and what they're trying to do. Now,
apparently word is broken over the weekend that Obama, the
Dear Leader, has personally taken over Abdul El Sayeed campaign.

(32:01):
He is going to run it the way he ran
Biden's regime. From behind the scenes. He is the puppet master.
He's using all of his influence. And if you notice now,
Abdul el said is everywhere. He is on CNN, he's
on MS now, he's on Meet the Press, you name it, NBC, CBS, ABC,

(32:22):
and they're trying to humanize him. Pictures now of him
and his wife with her job eating pancakes. They're just
that all American Muslim family. That's all it is. And
they've told him, now, lay off on the anti Semitism,
the jew hatred, don't talk about hamas, don't talk about

(32:46):
how much you love the terrorists. Don't talk about your
support for sharial law and for jihad. That the way
we did it with the Dear Leader, that we sweeped
that for a while under the rug that we just
keep in the back, talk about affordability, price of gas,

(33:07):
price of groceries, the need for medicare for all. So
they're trying to soften him, and they're desperately trying to
mainstream him, and the media is doing everything in their
power to basically whitewash him. And that's why now you've
been seeing puff piece after puff piece after puff piece,

(33:30):
and they're now scripting a narrative that, in fact, it
would be a great thing for Muslim America if abdul
el said would win. It would show multiculturalism, inclusion, diversity, compassion,
and look, he's just He's just a democrat who happens

(33:51):
to pray to Alas six times a day or whatever.

Speaker 2 (33:54):
Five times a day. He prays five times a day
to Allah. That's it.

Speaker 1 (33:59):
He wants medicare for all, lower gas, lower food, lower
energy prices, lower gas prices, lower groceries. That's all nothing here,
So vote for Abdul el Sayed. So the propaganda campaign,
the lies, the misinformation, the disinformation that's already now begun.

(34:24):
And meanwhile, President Trump, it seems to me, really wants
now out of this war. He clearly now sees what's
coming with the midterms. He now sees this Islamo Marxist
threat that is clearly rising within the Democratic Party and
within the country, and it's now become a quagmire. It's

(34:47):
now become a bit of a war of attrition. And
for whatever reason, I don't know, if they don't have
the munitions or at least the interceptors to deal with
an all out mass attack, I don't know if that's
the issue. But he's clearly very reluctant to resume a massive,

(35:08):
broad air military campaign, and I think that's going to
be the only thing that will break the Ayatolas and
this IRGC Islamo fascist regime. So we're gonna find out
very soon. But I truly hope this doesn't end up

(35:28):
like another Iraq or another Afghanistan or another Vietnam where
all we did was win, and then at the end
politically it turns into a debucle I think it would
be horrible for Trump's presidency, and more importantly, I.

Speaker 2 (35:48):
Think it would be horrible for the world. But that's
just me.

Speaker 1 (35:51):
Six one seven two six six sixty eight sixty eight.
Dave our Western PA constitutionally correspondent in the Pittsburgh area.
Thanks for holding, Dave, and welcome.

Speaker 4 (36:05):
Good wanting. Jeff, how are you doing Howsey weekend?

Speaker 2 (36:08):
Buddy, I'm good.

Speaker 1 (36:09):
I mean, honestly, I'm a little tired. The kids, they
kind of wear me out a little bit. But hey,
that's okay.

Speaker 2 (36:16):
That's what you know.

Speaker 5 (36:20):
Once in Germany, married to a beautiful fur line my my.

Speaker 3 (36:25):
Daughter in law.

Speaker 5 (36:26):
But Jeff, doesn't that sound like Kakim? Jeffries is the
speaker for the IRGC or the Ayatola, Jeff, the Democrats
seem to sound like a lot like the Iranians, and
the Iranians son a lot like them, Jeff. Because they
want reparations. They're making demands from the so called point
of power. First of all, Iran Ayatola Haakim Jeffries, you

(36:48):
have no power. You've been asking this for this for
forty nine years. We just happened to have stupid, stupid
ass presidents. And as far as Iran kissing our us,
kissing their ask, they can kiss my ass. Okay, they
can pucker up, they kiss my badonka donk role it's
worth and kiss my ass because Jeff, don't. The Democrats

(37:09):
and the Iranians on a lot of leg buddy, Like
I said, King Jeffreys, is your speak of reparations? I mean, Jeffy,
sound like my congresswoman Summer aka Dummerly.

Speaker 1 (37:18):
Jeff Oh, there's no question, Dave, You're very perceptive. They
the Democrats and the Iranians have formed an alliance. I
think there's no question.

Speaker 4 (37:29):
No.

Speaker 1 (37:29):
Look, you clearly see it now in this list of demands.
What they want is to string now the negotiations is
very obvious until November. And by the way, the Iranians
now openly say quote these are their words, not the
Democrats their words. Trump is finished after November. Trump cannot

(37:52):
prosecute the war after November. But why would they say that?
Because the Democrats are telling them. And by the way,
Abdul l said, even admitted that over the weekend, he goes, Yeah,
I've been talking to everybody, the Grand Poobas and the
Democratic Party. You watch what we have in store for Trump.
We're gonna launch investigation after investigation. We're gonna impeach him,

(38:14):
and we're gonna impeach hag Seth, and we're gonna impeach
our FK.

Speaker 2 (38:18):
Junior.

Speaker 1 (38:19):
We're gonna impeach I mean, just Scott Bessant. We're gonna
impeach his entire cabinet. We're gonna do something that's never
been done before. We are gonna paralyze this regi, this
administration and reduce it politically to rubble. And they're gonna
cut funding to everything, including to the Pentagon, the Defense Department.

(38:42):
Trump will not have any money to wage the war
against Iran. So even if he wants to wage a
war against Iran, no more money for Tomahawk missiles, no
more money for cruise missiles, no more money for Patriot missiles. Nothing.

(39:02):
So it's obvious they're working in tandem, and Iran is
getting a lot of their talking points from Democrats and
Democratic leaders and Democratic senators because what they really want
is they want him to open door number one, which
is essentially to agree to sign to effectively a surrender.

(39:26):
They want him to pay war damages to humiliate him
and humiliate the United States, you know, to pay war reparations.
They want him to pull all US forces out of
the entire region, lift the entire blockade, lift the sanctions,
unfreeze Iran's assets. A this will in bold and by

(39:50):
the way, this is what Obama's always wanted, because this
will now completely empower and embolden the regime. They're going
to be drowning now what hundreds of billions of dollars
once we're pull Once we're pushed out and kicked out
of the region, Iran can easily then march towards the

(40:10):
nuclear bomb, which is what Obama always wanted. And the
United States will have been brought to its knees in
a humiliating surrender and defeat. So that's why Obama is
working with the Iranians, and the Iranians are working with
Obama and the Democrats. And just so that everybody knows

(40:34):
about Abdul el Sayed, Obama is grooming him to be
the first official American Muslim president.

Speaker 2 (40:46):
In fact, you're not going to believe this.

Speaker 1 (40:48):
They haven't even won the Senate race in Michigan, which
is this November, and they're already talking El Sayed for
president in twenty twenty eight. Remember, Donnie can't run. They
really want Mumdanni. But the flaw with him is he
was born in Uganda, so they can't do that. They

(41:09):
just the constitution bars that you have to be born
in the United States. But they realize with say Ed
that he was born here, so they want him potentially
to run in twenty twenty eight. So this is the
entire background in context to what is happening now in

(41:30):
this battle of wills between Trump and the Iatolis. So
I'm urging the president. You know, remember I said it
last week. I said, I think you're making a mistake.
You're lying in bed with a bunch of vipers. They
have no intention of negotiating in good faith. And now

(41:52):
I mean, this is a slap in the face. But
again I'm just calling it the way I see it.
To react from Trump over the weekend was he wants
to continue to play diplomacy. His words, he believes in
the diplomatic long game that the naval blockade will force
them economically to come to the table, that the sanctions

(42:15):
are biting, and that he is willing to outweight and
outlast the Iranians, so he doesn't want to bomb. He
wants to keep maximum economic pressure and he thinks that
will eventually break them or squeeze them to the point
where they'll have no choice but to make a deal.

(42:38):
So we'll see. But to me, if I was advising him,
I'd say, mister President, break them open like an egg.
If we have if we have the munitions, then that
massive attack, you launch it, and you launch it with

(42:58):
everything we have. But that's me, Dave. Thank you so
much for that call, as always my friend, but you're
dead on. There is now an unholy alliance between the
Democrats and Iran and their goal is to drag it
out until November and keep gas and energy prices as

(43:21):
high as possible so that Trump is the weaker the
hand he has going into November the better, and then
they take over the House and the Senate, and then
they will force an Iranian victory the way the Democrats
forced a Communist victory in Vietnam after the fall of Nixon,

(43:43):
and then with the week Gerald Ford as president, they
cut off all support to the South Vietnamese and that's
when Vietnam fell. So they want to repeat what happened
in Afghanistan under Biden. They want to repeat what Obama
did it to Iraq, and they want to repeat what
the Democrats did to Vietnam six one, seven two six

(44:07):
six sixty eight sixty eight. That's why, to be honest
with you, don't wait anymore. I don't want to give
the blockade time because if things go bad on November three,
I mean, you won't have a chance again to resume
the bombing. If you can take them out now, take

(44:31):
them out now, agree, disagree?

Speaker 2 (44:37):
Ken in New Hampshire, Thanks for holding Ken, and welcome.

Speaker 4 (44:42):
Good morning, Jeff Hiking.

Speaker 3 (44:44):
Well, you know, I'd love to say winning.

Speaker 4 (44:49):
This is a sober moment. So let's review what where
we're at. I'm saying I'm pessimistic at all. I think
we are are a much better situation now than we
were six nine, twelve months ago. But there's a lot
of situations of this that people aren't thinking through. So

(45:11):
let's start with what you just described. Let's, you know,
get the job done. Whatever the cliche is, what does
that entail? So escalate the bombing. Well, you know what
a lot of people aren't thinking of. You remember Syria
and was it twenty fifteen, Jeff, they had their big

(45:32):
civil war. What was the big outcome from that?

Speaker 2 (45:37):
Well, al caere and I was running.

Speaker 4 (45:39):
The country, altered the history for the last ten years
and many years to come in Europe. What do you
think the neighbors of Iran are thinking.

Speaker 1 (45:57):
Well, that's what they fear, that's what they do. That's
literally what they told Trump on the phone. They said, look,
you go forward with this massive you know, attack, this
massive bombing campaign, or you'll break them, You'll shatter them
to you know, you'll smash them to smithereens. He goes,
there's no question. But then we're going to get millions
and millions of these you know, my refugees, migrants, whatever

(46:19):
you want to call them. And remember they're Shia, they're
not Sunni. So they're going to have Shia Muslims pouring
into Saudi Arabia, which is a Sunni state, Kuwait a
Sunni state, Bahrain, Qatar. These are all, you know, very
militantly Soonny states and I don't want to get too

(46:40):
much inside baseball can but Saudi Arabia is the home
to the two holiest places in Islam, Mecca and Medina,
and the Sunni Islamic world is very proud of that
because Mecca and Medina is under Sunni control and Sunny

(47:00):
authority and Sonny jurisdiction. You pour millions of shihited sha
she haited Muslims into a place like Saudi Arabia, that
could really You'll have Sunnies in the Shia at each
other's throats. That could really destabilize Saudi Arabia. And that's
why they called up Trump and they said, please, don't

(47:22):
do it. Let us talk to them, let us negotiate.
We're going to use mediators.

Speaker 2 (47:27):
And okay, I get it.

Speaker 1 (47:28):
From Trump's point of view, you could see, well, okay, yeah, jeez.
If I was in their shoes, you know, I'd be
thinking what they're thinking. But now that Iran has come
out with these ridiculous conditions, I'm like, well, now you're
making me look like a fool. Now you're making the
United States look like a paper tiger on the world stage.

(47:48):
So you know, to me, I call them up and say, okay, guys,
you got a lot of money. Now it's time to
put it into your you know, your defense, your military,
you all have air forces, and we're going to have
to take come out. I'm sorry, but they're leaving me
no choice. Ken Am I wrong?

Speaker 4 (48:06):
No, most of the very end conclusion I disagree with.
I think we'll pin prick them. They're the highest people.
And I also have a rumor that they're going to concede.
The Supreme leaders no longer alive. And I've heard the
name of a cleric who's going to kind of own

(48:27):
the operation spelled ka ROI. I don't even remember how
it's pounced, but that's just early information. But also what
I'm perceiving from all of this is we are blessed
with the l Sie Domi movement because I don't see
the Democrats necessarily winning. They're not going to want to

(48:49):
send it. We're going to take the governorship in Wisconsin,
and I think it's a toss of the coin in
the house. So yes, we may not have as much
money to fight the future. But the real good news
is I was scared in March about oh what a
gas price is going to do with a straight closed
down geez. It seems like the market's found a way

(49:11):
around and there's going to be a lot more pipelines.
But at the beginning of the year of twenty twenty seven, Ah,
you know what, that one business model that Iran had,
they just crapped on it.

Speaker 1 (49:24):
Well, that's true, Ken, You're completely right. There's gonna be
a lot more pipeline. Saudi Arabia is building one, other
countries are building one that will go around the Strait
of Hormuz. So you're completely right. This is not gonna lie.
Even just if we indulge ourselves and they take over
the strait completely just for the sake of argument. Yeah,

(49:44):
it'll create a lot of shock in the global oil markets,
but that's going to be short term because you've got
all these other pipelines now that are being constructed, and
as you said, we'll be ready by next year, so
that model is not going to last too long. Look,
my hope is that the Democrats have gone so extreme

(50:06):
so far to the left, with the Mamdanis, with the Sayedes,
