Speaker 1 (00:00):
Six one seven two six six sixty eight sixty eight
is the number Alex in the Great State of Florida.
Thanks for holding Alex, and welcome.
Speaker 2 (00:12):
Hey, Jeff, I have a few questions for you.
Speaker 1 (00:15):
Yes, Coha, you do.
Speaker 2 (00:17):
Do you remember when Jesus was called to the altar
or the stage and it was either he was going
to be killed or pontchous Pilot was going to be killed?
Do you remember that?
Speaker 3 (00:32):
Well?
Speaker 1 (00:32):
Actually, Alex, I believe I mean for Alex the way
you phrased it, Do I remember? I mean I wasn't there, Alex.
I mean, you know, I mean I'm getting old, but
I'm not that old. You know, you always sell like
my kids, you know, they're always teasing me about my
balding and my graying hair, and you know you're old daddy.
(00:54):
But no, Alex, I believe you're talking about the choice
between Jesus and Barabbas. Correct, ponscious Pilot. It said, I'm
going to free one today and you the crowd can
pick a murderer and a thief. I e. Barabbas or Jesus.
And of course the crowd yelled out, give us Barabbas,
give us Barabbas.
Speaker 2 (01:16):
It's the first one, then the second one is do
you remember the CIA got up on I think it
was in front of the Senate where they had the
CIA director had a tube of yellow cake uranium and
(01:36):
he said, we have proof that this that was made
in Iraq. And they even showed us pictures of hand
drawn missile launchers. Yes, weren't even actual pictures.
Speaker 1 (01:55):
Yes, no, I remember that, Alex. That was CIA director
George Tennant under George Tennant, under Bush. And you had
Colin Powell who went to the UN. And you're right,
they drew all kinds of pictures and diagrams and here's
where they're hiding their nuclear weapons, and their WMD is here,
(02:16):
and their WMD is there, and it all turned out
to be a packales Alex.
Speaker 2 (02:23):
Israel during the Sixth Day War claimed that Egypt attacked
the USS Liberty, and there were sailors as recent as
ten years ago or fifteen years ago proved that it
was Israel attacked the USS Liberty, trying to draw us
(02:45):
into the war. These are facts. Do you remember the
little girl in California that got on the stage and
was crimed. They're taking babies off the incubators in Kuwait
and they're taking the incubators back to Iraq to the
hospitals there, and she was crying. It's a fact she
(03:09):
never left the state of California.
Speaker 1 (03:13):
Yeah, you're talking now about Yeah, that was the nineteen
ninety one Gulf War, and they were claiming that Iraqi forces,
once they invaded Kuwait, were going into these Kuwaiti hospitals
and taking babies out of incubators, and that turned out
to be a lie. You're right, Alex, Alex. I'm just
curious though, your first point about Jesus and Barabbas, I
(03:36):
don't understand. What's the point of that is.
Speaker 2 (03:41):
That Israel basically killed Jesus.
Speaker 3 (03:44):
Oh, come on, Alex, jez they did no, Come.
Speaker 1 (03:48):
On, come on, Alex, come on, they didn't. He was
crucified by Poncha's pilot. The Romans were also involved in
the crucifixion of Jesus. It wasn't just the Jews, there
were many others who called for the crucifixion of Jesus.
That's that's a blood libel on the Jewish people, Alex.
(04:09):
That's that's I'm sorry, but that's wrong. A, it's historically inaccurate,
and B. I mean, Alex, it's you're doing the Jewish people.
It's a vicious smear against the Jewish people. But I
take it, Alex. Your point is you're not a fan
of Israel and you're not a fan of this attack
on Iran. And I take it you side with Tucker Carlson.
(04:31):
But I would leave the whole Jesus barabus thing out
of your argument. It's just my suggestion. It's up to you, Alex. Alex,
thank you very much for that call. Six one seven Again.
Now the Jews are to blame for killing Jesus. I mean,
you know, just can we just argue the merits? Do
you know, a it's not true? Okay, it's just not
(04:53):
you know, I mean, who's the guy that gave the order?
It was you know, a Roman. And believe me, there
were a lot of Roman soldiers who were crucifying Jesus.
And they loved crucifying Jesus. Just look at the passion
of the Christ ay ya yai so. And there were
many Jews who sided with Jesus. In fact, his converts
were basically Jews, and Jesus himself was Jewish. But anyway,
(05:18):
let let that go. See this is the part that
I you know you say it's the anti Semitism. Now
that's the part that I you know, that makes that's
the part I don't like. So let's just stick to
Israel and Iran and let's not go back two thousand years.
Diane in Lynn, Thanks for holding Diane, and welcome.
Speaker 4 (05:41):
Wouldn't Aaron just love to think that they just gave
up any desire to to have people think our leadership
of our country it thinks that they gave up the
idea of having nuclear weapons. That is absurd. Of course
they didn't do that.
Speaker 3 (05:57):
Number one.
Speaker 4 (05:58):
Number two, Iran is not and it has nothing nothing
like the war between Russia and the Ukraine. That was
none of our business. That was egged on by Biden,
and it was the stupidous war, and we spent a
lot of money, billions of dollars for nothing. It was
just ridiculous. This is different. Iran wants to destroy Israel,
(06:24):
of course, and of course Iran would love to destroy
us too. Stopping a country like Iran from getting nuclear
weapons is very important, and it's something you have to
do early on and not pretend that, oh, they turned
into good guys all of a sudden.
Speaker 1 (06:40):
Well, Diane, I mean look, I call him the death
to America regime. What do the Iranian leadership? The leaders
call us again and again and again the great Satan,
their political leadership, their intelligence leadership, their military leadership, their
religious leaders ship, the Ayatola, their supreme leader. All he
(07:03):
does is call us the great Satan. Their media, it's NonStop,
the Great Satan. And of course Israel is the little Satan.
So when you have a country that literally for forty
five years has been calling us the great Satan. And
then remember they sent Hesbalah to blow up the barracks
in Beirut in nineteen eighty one, killing two hundred and
(07:26):
forty one of our US soldiers. They took our diplomat's hostage.
They literally have killed and named hundreds, if not thousands,
of American soldiers. Okay, a couple of lines are open
if you want to jump on. Let me throw another
very quick log on the fire. One of the few
(07:47):
disagreements that Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Etnia who
have had, was the decision whether to take out, essentially
assassinate Iran's supreme leader Ali Hamani. As you know, Israel
has methodically targeted the head of their intelligence, their head
(08:10):
of their military, their head of their Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps,
their top senior nuclear scientists. They have taken them out
one by one after another. Now, Bib was arguing to
take out the Supreme Leader, which is literally the head
of the regime. The Islamic Republic is a theocracy. It
(08:34):
is a Shia Islamist theocracy. And so the Supreme Leader
is not just the head of the Iranian state, the
Iranian government, he's also the religious head of the Shia
Muslim faith in Iran, and he's also revered by Shia
Muslims outside Iran. And so Bib's argument was basically, you
(08:58):
want to kill the snake, take off the head of
the snake. Who's the head of the snake, Ali Hameny,
the Supreme Leader that the top ayotola. And his argument
is you take out Ali Hamny. Essentially he believes the
regime may collapse. They will become completely leaderless, decapitated, demoralized,
(09:23):
and you may actually see defections within the regime and
maybe even an end to this Islamic theocracy. Trump basically
vetoed him. He overruled BB and I'm just going by
media reports. Now, according to what media reports say, Trump
(09:44):
told BB no, and his reasons were twofold. He said,
number one, if you assassinate or take out Ali ha
Many Number one, it's technically it's a crime. To assassinate
the head of a foreign a foreign leader of the state,
the leader of a foreign country is an international war crime.
(10:05):
It's illegal. So he said, number one, that'd be tremendous
blowback on the international front. But furthermore, as Trump said, okay,
you take out Ali Hamani, who do we negotiate with?
Their military leadership has now been eradicated, Their intelligence leadership
(10:26):
has been eradicated, the Iranian Revolutionary Guard court, their leadership
has been eradicated. So you take out the supreme leader,
because they all take their orders from the supreme leader.
So who do we negotiate with? You're now leaving it
in a vacuum. And Trump's argument is you may get
someone younger, you may get someone even more radical, even
(10:49):
more extreme, even more fanatical. So why would you do this?
And even more than that, Trump said, it could spark
a larger, broader war. Why because now you're not just
taking out a political person or as I said, a
military or intelligence you know, senior leader or official. You're
(11:13):
striking now at the heart of the Shia Muslim faith.
And so you could see Shia in Syria, sites in
other parts of the region go absolutely apoplectic because their
supreme leader has now been assassinated by Israel, and so
(11:34):
they could this could spark massive retaliation, terrorist attacks, uprisings
in other countries like Syria, like in Egypt, in other
countries where you do have Shia Muslims, like in Yemen.
So his argument is, we don't want to escalate, expand
(11:54):
or broaden the war. So and apparently he's quite old,
he's in his late eighties, he's fragile, he's been sickly. Frankly,
it seems he's lost a lot of his gusto and
umph and energy. And so Trump believes better keep him
in power because you don't know the guy that's behind him,
(12:18):
that he is the symbol now of a sclerotic, ossified,
dying old guard regime. You don't want to kill him
and then have him replaced with someone who's younger, much
more vigorous, and maybe even god you know, and maybe
God forbid, more militant and more fanatical, if it's possible,
(12:43):
And so Trump basically vetoed that decision at least for now.
So let me throw this log on the fire. Should
be be take out the Supreme Leader, in other words,
take them all out? Or was Trump right to veto
and say don't do it, because now you're going to
(13:05):
unleash a wave of problems. It's a snake pit and
you're going to have now more snakes coming at you
and at me and at the West CJ in Boston,
thanks for holding CJ and welcome.
Speaker 3 (13:20):
And they say take them out, take them out, take
them out quick. You don't need military intelligence to know,
only common sense. When a country says kill the Americans,
kill the Jews, the Jews first, and they're coming after America.
How would you respect a president, any president who would
(13:41):
negotiate any terms with a country who wants to destroy
their country by means of an nuclear device. I would
not negotiate anything. Trump is right on this. Have we forgotten?
Bb Nenyahuo wasn't the first one that said we'll never
(14:02):
forget and never let happen again the Holocaust? How quickly
Americans forget September eleventh, when those Islamic terrorists took down
two buildings and killed three thousand Americans, and all you
kept hearing and resonating throughout this country was never again,
never again, never again. Now these same people that are
(14:25):
calling you are backing down from defending their own country.
They had no problem sending two hundred billion dollars that
got lost to the Ukraine, and now they want to
now that the Ukraine has basically lost this war. These
same Americans who are backed the Ukraine are backing down untry.
(14:49):
It's just amazing to me. It's amazing that people forget
nineteen seventy nine when for four hundred and forty four days,
under the cowardice leadership of Jimmy Carter, he allowed Iran
to hold sixty six American people for four hundred and
forty four days. I've watched this. Most of these kids now,
(15:11):
the only way they know what happened there, Jeff, is
to pick up a history book. This needs to end now.
And I think it is no surprise that President Trump
has advised the people to leave Tehran, the capital of Iran,
because I believe in the next two to three weeks
they are going to level that as to tomorrowize the
(15:33):
Iranian people to a point where they may overthrow the mulas.
That is the only thing we talked about. We talk
about military intelligence. Well, if these bucks are halfway half
a mile down, what do they have X ray vision?
Do we have people on the ground inspecting the so
(15:54):
called nuclear facilities?
Speaker 1 (15:57):
Well, you know, CJ. Look, I think you put your
finger on it. That's what the IAEA, this UN watchdog
has been saying. Six one seven two, six sixty eight
sixty eight is the number David in Watertown. Thanks for
holding David, and welcome.
Speaker 5 (16:17):
I respect very much the research that you do.
Speaker 2 (16:20):
So I'm going to ask you this question.
Speaker 5 (16:25):
Iran prisident. Trump has tried very hard to make friends
with the leaders of none of the Islamic countries, but
he has failed and Iran because their political philosophy has
tried to the violence that Mohammad was an advocate for
is have you any have you seen any evidence that
(16:46):
the Islamic philosophers theologians had tried to modify their religion
so it's less violent.
Speaker 1 (16:55):
No, The short answer is no. I mean, I'm not
saying there aren't individuals moms. Yes, but this is the
crisis in a nutshell. I'll give it to you like
in thirty seconds. The crisis in the entire Muslim world
is that Islam has never had a reformation the way
you've seen in Christianity and in Judaism and other faiths.
(17:17):
But in many ways, Islam is still a religion stuck
in the seventh century. And what you see in Iran
is not an aberration of Islam, but it's Islam taken
almost to its ultimate conclusion. They are fundamentalists. They take
the Quran literally, they take Sharia law literally, they take
(17:43):
the example and the teachings of Mohammad literally. And so
that's why they believe that the mass murder of Jews
is fine, that the mass murder of Christians is fine,
that stoning gays and lesbians is fine because it's condoned
in the Quran that women must be covered. I mean,
(18:05):
just to give you an example, I don't know if
you saw that famous case. This poor woman, she even
had a headscarf on. She just showed a little bit
of her hair at the top of her forehead, and
they arrested her and they hung her, They literally hung her,
and that set off you know, a lot of i
(18:26):
mean massive protests, because even the Iranian people realize this
is completely medieval and barbaric. But this is the problem.
The Iranian sorry, Iranian culture, Iranian society, but the Islamic
world in general is trapped one thousand, five hundred years
in the past, and until they undergo a fundamental reformation
(18:49):
the way other religious fates have, you can never live
with them in peace. You can't. And the question I
ask everybody, because everybody says, oh my god, this is
so you know, so radical, I'm like, okay, show me
where and when a thoroughly Islamic society, culture, civilization has
(19:10):
lived peacefully with non Muslims. Show me fifteen hundred years.
Show me. You can't nobody can. You can't show it
to me in Asia. You can't show it to me
in Africa. You certainly can't show it to me in
the Middle East. And all you have to do is
ask the Kords of Iran how they're treated by the Mullus.
(19:31):
There are still a few Jews left in Iran. Ask
them how they're treated by the Mullus. The Christians are
gone gone. Ask the cop the Christians in Egypt how
they're treated by Islam. Ask the Syrians, the Syrian Christians
and the other minorities, the Jews, how they're treated now
by the Islamists. So this idea that Islam is a
(19:56):
religion of peace and tolerance, Yes, many Muslims are, but
that's because frankly, they're more moderate. They don't interpret the
Koran literally. But the more you get into the Koran,
and the more you try to abide by the Koran
and by the teachings of Mohammed, you end up with Iran.
(20:18):
Other countries as well, but you end up with Iran
where they stone a woman because she doesn't cover her head.
I mean, I can't think of anything, frankly, more primitive
or more barbaric than that. So to think that these
Middle mid evil Middle Aged, not even Middle Ages, it's
the seventh century, it's even before the Middle Ages. To
(20:41):
think that these seventh century barbarians animals, frankly, you give
them a nuclear weapon, the nuclear bomb, Oh my god,
I mean, you're playing Russian Roulette with the fate of
the world. And that's why I'm telling you, no responsible
(21:03):
Israeli leader, no responsible American leader, no responsible world leader
would ever allow them to get the bomb. It's suicide.
Ron in the Great State of Texas. I hate to
do this to you. Ron, I've only got one minute
left in the show. The floor is yours.
Speaker 6 (21:23):
Go okay, Jeff, thanks a lot. Listen you spot on
what you're saying. Let me say one thing really really fast,
and that is about Jesus. He came to earth to die,
and I know that's hard to say, but he is
the Lamb of God and without him dying, we will
live in sin eternally. So let that be known to
all these anti Semites out there. I love Jesus. I
(21:46):
am a Messianic Jew. I love Jesus.
Speaker 2 (21:49):
But that was his purpose.
Speaker 6 (21:50):
That's why he died on the Passover.
Speaker 2 (21:53):
They could they people could look it up.
Speaker 6 (21:56):
Look the people the rings that died in uh Zack
and knighte in Beirut.
Speaker 1 (22:04):
That was at the hands of Iran. I mean has Bellah,
you know, wielded the knife, but it was the Iranians
who put the knife in their hand and directed them
to do it.
Six one seven two six six sixty eight sixty eight
is the number Alex in the Great State of Florida.
Thanks for holding Alex, and welcome.
Speaker 2 (00:12):
Hey, Jeff, I have a few questions for you.

in other countries like Syria, like in Egypt, in other
countries where you do have Shia Muslims, like in Yemen.
So his argument is, we don't want to escalate, expand
(11:54):
or broaden the war. So and apparently he's quite old,
he's in his late eighties, he's fragile, he's been sickly. Frankly,
it seems he's lost a lot of his gusto and
umph and energy. And so Trump believes better keep him
in power because you don't know the guy that's behind him,
(12:18):
that he is the symbol now of a sclerotic, ossified,
dying old guard regime. You don't want to kill him
and then have him replaced with someone who's younger, much
more vigorous, and maybe even god you know, and maybe
God forbid, more militant and more fanatical, if it's possible,
(12:43):
And so Trump basically vetoed that decision at least for now.
So let me throw this log on the fire. Should
be be take out the Supreme Leader, in other words,
take them all out? Or was Trump right to veto
and say don't do it, because now you're going to
(13:05):
unleash a wave of problems. It's a snake pit and
you're going to have now more snakes coming at you
and at me and at the West CJ in Boston,
thanks for holding CJ and welcome.
Speaker 3 (13:20):
And they say take them out, take them out, take
them out quick. You don't need military intelligence to know,
only common sense. When a country says kill the Americans,
kill the Jews, the Jews first, and they're coming after America.
How would you respect a president, any president who would
(13:41):
negotiate any terms with a country who wants to destroy
their country by means of an nuclear device. I would
not negotiate anything. Trump is right on this. Have we forgotten?
Bb Nenyahuo wasn't the first one that said we'll never
(14:02):
forget and never let happen again the Holocaust? How quickly
Americans forget September eleventh, when those Islamic terrorists took down
two buildings and killed three thousand Americans, and all you
kept hearing and resonating throughout this country was never again,
never again, never again. Now these same people that are
(14:25):
calling you are backing down from defending their own country.
They had no problem sending two hundred billion dollars that
got lost to the Ukraine, and now they want to
now that the Ukraine has basically lost this war. These
same Americans who are backed the Ukraine are backing down untry.
(14:49):
It's just amazing to me. It's amazing that people forget
nineteen seventy nine when for four hundred and forty four days,
under the cowardice leadership of Jimmy Carter, he allowed Iran
to hold sixty six American people for four hundred and
forty four days. I've watched this. Most of these kids now,
(15:11):
the only way they know what happened there, Jeff, is
to pick up a history book. This needs to end now.
And I think it is no surprise that President Trump
has advised the people to leave Tehran, the capital of Iran,
because I believe in the next two to three weeks
they are going to level that as to tomorrowize the
(15:33):
Iranian people to a point where they may overthrow the mulas.
That is the only thing we talked about. We talk
about military intelligence. Well, if these bucks are halfway half
a mile down, what do they have X ray vision?
Do we have people on the ground inspecting the so
(15:54):
called nuclear facilities?
Speaker 1 (15:57):
Well, you know, CJ. Look, I think you put your
finger on it. That's what the IAEA, this UN watchdog
has been saying. Six one seven two, six sixty eight
sixty eight is the number David in Watertown. Thanks for
holding David, and welcome.
Speaker 5 (16:17):
I respect very much the research that you do.
Speaker 2 (16:20):
So I'm going to ask you this question.
Speaker 5 (16:25):
Iran prisident. Trump has tried very hard to make friends
with the leaders of none of the Islamic countries, but
he has failed and Iran because their political philosophy has
tried to the violence that Mohammad was an advocate for
is have you any have you seen any evidence that
(16:46):
the Islamic philosophers theologians had tried to modify their religion
so it's less violent.
Speaker 1 (16:55):
No, The short answer is no. I mean, I'm not
saying there aren't individuals moms. Yes, but this is the
crisis in a nutshell. I'll give it to you like
in thirty seconds. The crisis in the entire Muslim world
is that Islam has never had a reformation the way
you've seen in Christianity and in Judaism and other faiths.
(17:17):
But in many ways, Islam is still a religion stuck
in the seventh century. And what you see in Iran
is not an aberration of Islam, but it's Islam taken
almost to its ultimate conclusion. They are fundamentalists. They take
the Quran literally, they take Sharia law literally, they take
(17:43):
the example and the teachings of Mohammad literally. And so
that's why they believe that the mass murder of Jews
is fine, that the mass murder of Christians is fine,
that stoning gays and lesbians is fine because it's condoned
in the Quran that women must be covered. I mean,
(18:05):
just to give you an example, I don't know if
you saw that famous case. This poor woman, she even
had a headscarf on. She just showed a little bit
of her hair at the top of her forehead, and
they arrested her and they hung her, They literally hung her,
and that set off you know, a lot of i
(18:26):
mean massive protests, because even the Iranian people realize this
is completely medieval and barbaric. But this is the problem.
The Iranian sorry, Iranian culture, Iranian society, but the Islamic
world in general is trapped one thousand, five hundred years
in the past, and until they undergo a fundamental reformation
(18:49):
the way other religious fates have, you can never live
with them in peace. You can't. And the question I
ask everybody, because everybody says, oh my god, this is
so you know, so radical, I'm like, okay, show me
where and when a thoroughly Islamic society, culture, civilization has
(19:10):
lived peacefully with non Muslims. Show me fifteen hundred years.
Show me. You can't nobody can. You can't show it
to me in Asia. You can't show it to me
in Africa. You certainly can't show it to me in
the Middle East. And all you have to do is
ask the Kords of Iran how they're treated by the Mullus.
(19:31):
There are still a few Jews left in Iran. Ask
them how they're treated by the Mullus. The Christians are
gone gone. Ask the cop the Christians in Egypt how
they're treated by Islam. Ask the Syrians, the Syrian Christians
and the other minorities, the Jews, how they're treated now
by the Islamists. So this idea that Islam is a
(19:56):
religion of peace and tolerance, Yes, many Muslims are, but
that's because frankly, they're more moderate. They don't interpret the
Koran literally. But the more you get into the Koran,
and the more you try to abide by the Koran
and by the teachings of Mohammed, you end up with Iran.
(20:18):
Other countries as well, but you end up with Iran
where they stone a woman because she doesn't cover her head.
I mean, I can't think of anything, frankly, more primitive
or more barbaric than that. So to think that these
Middle mid evil Middle Aged, not even Middle Ages, it's
the seventh century, it's even before the Middle Ages. To
(20:41):
think that these seventh century barbarians animals, frankly, you give
them a nuclear weapon, the nuclear bomb, Oh my god,
I mean, you're playing Russian Roulette with the fate of
the world. And that's why I'm telling you, no responsible
(21:03):
Israeli leader, no responsible American leader, no responsible world leader
would ever allow them to get the bomb. It's suicide.
Ron in the Great State of Texas. I hate to
do this to you. Ron, I've only got one minute
left in the show. The floor is yours.
Speaker 6 (21:23):
Go okay, Jeff, thanks a lot. Listen you spot on
what you're saying. Let me say one thing really really fast,
and that is about Jesus. He came to earth to die,
and I know that's hard to say, but he is
the Lamb of God and without him dying, we will
live in sin eternally. So let that be known to
all these anti Semites out there. I love Jesus. I
(21:46):
am a Messianic Jew. I love Jesus.
Speaker 2 (21:49):
But that was his purpose.
Speaker 6 (21:50):
That's why he died on the Passover.
Speaker 2 (21:53):
They could they people could look it up.
Speaker 6 (21:56):
Look the people the rings that died in uh Zack
and knighte in Beirut.
Speaker 1 (22:04):
That was at the hands of Iran. I mean has Bellah,
you know, wielded the knife, but it was the Iranians
who put the knife in their hand and directed them
to do it.
