Speaker 1 (00:00):
Okay. Text line is it's going nuclear. I mean it's
it is on fire. Seven zero four seven zero seven
zero four seven zero. This is from nine to one seven. Jeff.
It is truly remarkable to see how the media and
the Democrats are in an uproar crying over the bombing,
(00:27):
oh sorry, over the second bombing of a boat that
initially killed nine out of the eleven crew members, and
the second one killed the last two. It is truly
utterly remarkable how the media can take something so small
and turn it into something so big. That's what they do.
(00:50):
That's propaganda, and that's what they excel at. This is
from Larry in Arkansas, and I think Larry, he makes
an excellent point. He says, Jeff, so let me get
this straight. The first bomb kills nine, and that's okay.
Then the second bomb kills the last two two more,
(01:14):
and it's a war crime, Like, does this make any sense?
And then he continues, and I think this is a
brilliant point, Jeff. President Trump and Secretary of Defense Hex
Seth have committed a cardinal sin. They have now shown
irrefutably that the quote unquote war on drugs was a farce,
(01:40):
a corrupt moneymaker for the government. Bingo, that's one of
their cardinal sins. Because for how many decades has our
government been telling us, Oh, yeah, we're fighting the drugs,
the drug dealers, the drug traffickers, We're fighting them tooth
and nail. We're doing everything we can. And of course
(02:02):
they were doing little to nothing. Along comes Trump and
in less than a year he has completely sealed and
secured the border. He's cut a deal with China that
they will no longer be sending fentanyl or the ingredients
used to make fentanyl to the Mexican drug cartels. He's
(02:23):
choking off the cartels. He's blowing up their boats in
the Caribbean. So the fentanyl, the cocaine, the heroine, the meth,
it's not coming in through the southern border. We've cut
that off. It's not coming in through the northern border.
We've cut that off. And now it's not even coming
(02:44):
through the seas and through the waterways because we're cutting
that off. In other words, for the first time since Reagan,
we have a real war on drugs and we're winning.
We're winning. And all it took was some willpower and
(03:04):
some determination. Six two six six sixty eight sixty eight,
John in Raynham, Thanks for holding John, and welcome Jeff.
Speaker 2 (03:16):
Thank you so much for taking my call. Much unbelievable.
I'm gonna first start off by saying I'm not gonna
use any cuss words. Okay, so I'll be careful on that.
But where is the insertive cuss word here? And then
in I inng the outrage of the War Crimes Committee
against our own citizens, allowed by and probably orchestrated by
(03:37):
the demon rats I call them not democrats, demon rats. Secondly,
the guy Kelly there after Trump's after me trying to
kill me Jesez. There wasn't such an outrage where Trump
was shot and other attempts on his life. That's okay.
I feel we need to have some moabs. This is
not being aggressive, not to be hurtful to people, you know,
(03:58):
the demon rats side and more abstinent for more over
outstanding a American and be banned together, more upstanding Americans banded
together as a large group and take our country back.
What's their use, sir John.
Speaker 1 (04:13):
It's happening already and you're starting to see it now.
The country, look, the country senses We've got maybe one
last chance to fix the mess that Obama and it's
really Obama who is the mastermind. But what Obama, Biden
and the radical Democrats have done. And look, let's be honest,
(04:35):
the Republicans in Congress are useless. You either forget about
them because they're not going to deliver. It's obvious. So
basically it's the Trump team with the American people. We're
the only ones. Now we're gonna have to carry this
country on our shoulders and restore it. And look, we've
got the economy has to turn around. He needs that
(04:58):
for the midterms. If he can get the economy to
turn around, and I think he will. Everything that Trump
is doing is going to take care of itself. The
mass deportations are going to continue. He's not going to
stop the border. The invasion will is going to be
blocked off. So the invasion will now be stopped. He's
(05:20):
now got the drug traffickers on the run. The drug
cartels are on the run. So he's breaking the back
of the drug cartels. So you know, whether it's immigration,
whether it's drugs, whether it's these trade deals, now he's
fixing every single one of them. You know, I said
this to Grace last night. We're looking at twenty twenty
(05:44):
trillion dollars in investment that he's now locked in, just
in the first eight months of his presidency, investing here
in the United States, artificial intelligence, manufacturing, tech, you name it.
I mean, the country is gonna boom. He's rebuilt our military.
(06:05):
Inflation now thankfully, is starting. It's gotta go down a
lot more. Don't get me wrong, but no, you can
tell inflation is cooling off. It is starting to go down. Look,
we got to get rid of your own Powell. He's it.
Can't get rid of that guy fast enough. He's killing
us on the economy. He's killing us now. His term
(06:26):
ends in March. So no matter what, he's gone, and
it looks like it's gonna be Kevin Hassett, by the way,
who's gonna replace Powell. He's gonna be an incredible fed chair.
He's gonna drive the interest rates down. You're gonna see
the housing market boom. Banks are gonna start lending money.
Credit is gonna flow. So look, the fundamentals are all there.
(06:51):
We just need another two and a half three years
for him to complete what we started. We've got to
get over the mid terms and look, John, you may
disagree with me, which is fine. I'm starting to think
we got a nuke to fulibuster because that way we
get election integrity. We can stop the Democrats from potentially
(07:14):
stealing elections. And if we can do that, we're gonna
win the midterms. And if we win the midterms, I
think we're going to permanently defeat the left. Six one
seven two sixty six, sixty eight sixty eight is the number. Okay,
I know we've asked it earlier, but let me reask
(07:35):
it again. It is the Kooner Country Poll. Question of
the Day sponsored by Marios Marios Quality Roofing, siding and Windows.
Was the second strike on the narco terrorist drug vote
last September in the in the Caribbean by the US
(07:57):
military a war crime? In your view? Was that second strike?
It was a trender Aragua vote narco terrorist vote in September,
actly September second in the Caribbean by the US military.
Was it a war crime? The left says yes. The
(08:20):
Democrats are screaming, Hegseth is a war criminal. The media
is screaming, Hegseth is a war criminal. I say, these
people are utterly insane, but that's me A yes, B no.
You can vote on our web page wrko dot com
slash Cooner wrko dot com slash cooner kuh And is
(08:46):
a national er. You can also vote via x my handle.
There all one word at the Kooner Report. At the
Cooner Report, kuh Ner, Jim in Florida. Thanks for holding Jim,
and welcome.
Speaker 3 (09:05):
Oh Hi, good morning, jap Hi, Jim Hi. I wanted
to call in and make a point of a similar
scenario that happened in World War Two with the US.
The name of the ship is the USS Wahoo, a submarine,
and their commander Dudley Morton. Basically, the submarine shot a sank,
(09:29):
a Japanese troop ship, and then shot the prisoners. Not
the prisoners, I'm sorry the people that the soldiers, the
troops in the water. And not only did they do that,
they filmed it. You can actually see it on YouTube.
But and the and the guy's name was Dudley Morton,
(09:51):
and they asked him, well, why did you you know,
why did you do it? He wasn't punished. He did
it because if you let them, if you let them
survive and go back to fighting, they're gonna they're just
going to continue fighting and kill Americans. And these these
people in the drug boats, they're they're going to do
(10:13):
the same thing. They're just going to kill Americans and
they don't care, you know, So as a like a
historical precedent, I don't think he's a war criminal. It's
just this whole thing is stupid. It's just a deflection
to you know, keeping themselves out of trouble.
Speaker 1 (10:32):
I agree, Jim, it's a manufactured scandal. It's fabricated. They're
just making it up. They're making up something into I mean,
not that it happened, It happened, but what I mean
is they're turning something that is perfectly normal, that is
completely ordinary, that is just literally part of a military mission,
and they're trying to make something out of nothing. They're
(10:54):
trying to it's a hoax. It's another full Democrats scandal.
They're trying to manufacture and fabricate something, you know, being
somehow wrong or evil or remoral, when the exact opposite
is true. It was completely lawful. It was exactly what
you do in a military mission. And you know, look
(11:17):
just so that people understand, you know, these aren't people
who just go on a boat and then drop off
some you know, kilos of cocaine. This is trend or
a ragua. These are the people that go around, you know,
with machetes with guns, terrorizing Americans and apartment complexes in Colorado.
(11:37):
And they're the rivals of MS thirteen. I mean, these
are sadistic killers. Yes, they also go on boats and
transport drugs, but they're part of the drug cartels, they're
part of the drug traffickers. They're an international criminal terrorist network.
They're mass murderers and psychopaths. So you know, really it
(12:03):
would be like eleven members of ISIS are on a
boat and they're smuggling drugs into the United States and
we blow up the boat and some of it still survives,
and there's two of them, you know, nine are dead
and two are still whatever, clinging to the remains of
the boat. No one would be saying, oh, well, oh
you shouldn't have taken that second shot. You'd say, yeah,
(12:24):
they're I sister terrorists. Take them out. We do that
all over the world with like what's wrong with people?
Like what's wrong with everybody? That's exactly what happened here.
So no, if they want to die on this hill, Jim.
If they want to defend narco terrorists, if they want
(12:45):
to defend trend or Ragua, if they want to defend
cocaine traffickers and drug smugglers, let them. That's another eighty
twenty eighty five point fifteen issue. And if i'm Pete
Haig Seth, I go. I'll come in front of your committee,
no problem. No, no, We're not going to do it
in a skiff. I'm gonna be under oath with the cameras,
(13:09):
and I want to expose each and every one of you.
So you want us to let in the drugs, you
want us to let in trender Aragua. What we're supposed
to let them?
Speaker 4 (13:20):
See? What?
Speaker 3 (13:20):
So?
Speaker 1 (13:21):
A they're going to be eaten by the sharks. So
what am I supposed to do? Stand there and allow
them to be eaten by sharks? Or I could blow
them out of the water right now and basically put
an end to their misery. So A, what we did
was a much more humanitarian and compassionate. But B what
am I supposed to do? Let them potentially swim away?
If they get away, and then what so they can
kill more Americans? Well, you know, and Hollywood that's not
(13:47):
how it's portrayed in the movies. Yeah, I don't live
in Hollywood. I live in the real world. War is
ugly and nasty. That's what war is. That's why it's
always a last resort. And if you're going to wage
a war, you do it exactly the way they're doing
it now, with overwhelming lethal power. You end this and
(14:12):
you end it fast, because ironically, that's how you save
more lives. Jim, thank you so much for that call. Agree, disagree,
Russ in Boston, thanks for holding Russ and welcome.
Speaker 5 (14:28):
Give me a break. How low can they go undermining
needed military operations. Let's face it. Control freaks love people
on drugs. They're easy to brainwash in control. That's why
they don't want to stop the flow of drugs. Let's
face it. Any member of the United States Senate are
Congress that's a veteran and does not speak out against
(14:50):
undermining military operations are turncoats. They are turncoasts. They're turncoasts.
They're turncoats. And in Massachusetts, the Democrats voters love turn
coach like John Kerry and Seth Milton. Okay, let's face
it all right, let's tell like it is job run
for the Democratic Party is create chaos, divide, conquer, and control.
(15:13):
That is their goal. They don't care about freedom of
the United States of America. That's all they want to do.
If we're an honest media in this country, President Trump
would have an eighty percent approval rating. And Jeff, I
want to say this for all sincerity. Headset is the
GI's secretary of Defense. Vince is the GI's vice president,
(15:36):
the GI's vice president. And they are great leaders. They
are the kind of leaders that I've been waiting for
for the last sixty years. And when I see Headset
do pt with the troops and Viance put on fatigues
and fire a few rounds on the rifle range, I
love them in a non sexual way. You don't know
how much I cherished them, Jeff, believe me when I
(15:58):
say it.
Speaker 1 (15:58):
You know Rush, Look you you served multiple tours in Vietnam.
To me, you're a patriot, a hero. I can never
thank you enough for your service. And I just want
to ask you this because Sandy and I were discussing
this during the break. I can literally count on one
hand times where soldiers and I'm going back now we're
(16:19):
talking Vietnam, Rock, Afghanistan, Vietnam, Korea, World War II, World
War One. I could go on and on where American
soldiers defied an order. You can literally count it on
one hand. And one of them was any Rock, whereby
they were told to deliver some oil or gasoline to
(16:42):
a particular location and they said no. And the reason
why they said no not that they disagree with the mission,
but they were given such faulty equipment that if they
went into their equipment, the equipment would blow up and
they'd all die. And so the military did an investigation
and they were completely exonerated. But you know, we're talking
about literally a handful. So for these seditious six to
(17:08):
pu you know, post a video and say, oh, you
have to defy an unlawful order. Six one seven two six,
six sixty eight sixty eight is the number. Okay, let's
go right back to Russ in Boston. Russ as a
Vietnam War vet, I've got to ask you, you look
(17:28):
at our history. You can count practically on one hand
the number of times troops have disobeyed an order saying
it's in illegal or an unlawful order. A few times
they have been court martialed severely court martialed. A couple
of times. I mentioned the example before the break an Iraq,
(17:49):
they were like, we want to deliver the oil and
the gas that you guys are asking us to deliver,
but literally the equipment is so bad. We get into
these you know, whatever it was vehicle, we're gonna get
blown up. Like literally, it's just going to blow up.
And so when they did an investigation, they said, no, okay,
you were right. You know, no, you made the right decision.
(18:10):
It's you know, it's not a suicide pack to join
the military. My larger question to you, Russ is this,
you're a warrior. You know many other warriors do they
need to be reminded? Did you need to be constantly
reminded by these clowns in the Senate and in the House,
(18:31):
these six Democrats or people like them, that you know,
if there's an unlawful order, you should disobey it. They're
acting as if the US military issues unlawful orders every day,
that this is frequent, it happens often, and that somehow
(18:53):
people who serve in the military, RUSS, people like you,
you just don't know the uniform military code of justice.
You guys just don't know what's lawful and unlawful. What
say you RUSS.
Speaker 5 (19:09):
One, code, duty, honor and country. Okay, and we do
we do the right thing. Now in the event this question,
you'll be court martialed. And if you truly carried out
in order that was not honorable, okay, then you'll be
court martialed. So you will have your day in court
(19:30):
without without question. But to make blanket statements like this
really t me off, Jeff to no end. You know, Jeff,
I'd like to say something which I've never said over
the year before, but in the little time to say it. Okay,
As you well know, I'm a Vietnam vet. Okay, I
feel the mistakes we made in Vietnam. First of all,
I believe it, and I can't prove this, But if
(19:52):
President Kennedy was the president when it came time to
introduce combat troops, everything would have been much different. Okay.
The first thing he would have done was also, at
the same time apply the principle of the of the
uh oh God was my head right now of the
Peace Corps. Okay. Now, just to think if initially we
(20:15):
had bomb Dollar Ports, mine Dollar Harbors, a major attack
on Hnoway, and at the same time took the Peace
Corps in a large way and started building our way
from the from the Mekong Delta north. And we could
have done a much better job in winning the hots
and minds of the Vietnamese people and gave them a
(20:37):
will to fight, no difference from the Ukrainians or the
Poors or any other country that are dealing with the Russians. Okay,
there's no question on my mind we could have win
the hats and minds and when much easier to uh
to be successful in the Choi program, which was a
program to get them to come to our side. Okay,
(20:59):
we could have and really successful in that. And then look,
the Vietnamese people do all the combat, and Jeff, there's
no question any Vietnam bet that served in country can
tell you it was the toughest place to fight a
ground war with the jungles, the swamps, the mosquitoes, and
the insurgents. First enough, forget the insurgents, Okay, it was
(21:21):
a tough place to butt in any general. Okay, that
didn't advise the president of what a mistake he would
be to concentrate on the land war without applying a
principal of peace Corps was stupid, and unfortunately, fifty eight
thousand Americans died, another quarter of a million came back wounded,
(21:42):
and basically that could have been avoided, maybe would have
only had maybe five thousand casualties or something. Okay, if
it had been prosecuted, much better. But Alas, remember one thing,
the principle of keeping the commune said they that's what
I'm most proud of. I'm proud of the time I
spent in Vietnam, the time that I spent in Germany's
(22:03):
the communist Okay, And I'll say one of the things, Jeff,
my dream team in twenty twenty eight is JD. Vance
as president and Maco Rabia as their vice president. I
want to say this, I've always thought Macol Rabia, because
you're an anti communist just like wee, that's probably going.
Speaker 1 (22:20):
To be the ticket. Russ. I mean, if you look
at the polls now and what the base wants that,
you know, in terms of a primary, it's going to
be JD. Van's number one, Rubio number two. So that's
probably what it's going to end up being. Russ. Look,
I agree with you. Communism was the enemy and people
like you that served in Vietnam. You played a key
(22:42):
part in winning the Cold War. There's no question, no question,
and I think humanity owes our Vietnam vets like you
a huge debt of gratitude. Russ, thanks again, my friend.
Six one seven two six six sixty eight sixty eight. Look,
it's due, honor, country. That's what our military stands for.
(23:05):
And what they're trying to imply, not imploying it. They're
saying it is that under Trump, our military does not
have duty, honor, and country. And that is disgusting. Again,
it's deliberate, it's sabotage, it's it's it's treason. And they're
trying to foment disruption. They're trying to fament sedition, they're
(23:27):
trying to foment an insurrection. So they know exactly what
they're doing because they can't stand the fact that Kamala
Harris lost and Donald Trump won. This is all about
them not accepting the fact that Trump is President of
the United States. He won, they lost. Six one seven
two six six sixty eight sixty eight. Phil in the
(23:50):
Great State of North Carolina, Thanks for holding Phil and welcome.
Speaker 4 (23:57):
Thanks jeff I appreciate you taking my call. The last
time we spoke was during Hurricane Leen when you helped
me out with Maridith's first I'll never forget it.
Speaker 1 (24:06):
Oh my pleasure, Phil, I take it. Everything is okay,
everything has been settled.
Speaker 4 (24:10):
Well, it's coming along. The city has got a long
way to go, but we're coming back. Regarding regarding today's situation,
two points that the issue with the Democrats is that
boat which was sunk on September third, and if I'm
not mistaken, I think that was the second time we'd
(24:32):
made a hit. Okay, all this time has expired. That
Deminish six came out with their statement about following artists.
They go back to September third, Oh, there were two
people killed. So now we're going to make this a
political uh football, which they have done. My second point
(24:55):
is this, and I think is the most important, this
ACTI which took place, and I think the twelve boats
that have been sung, the mission was to sink those
boats carrying drugs. It wasn't about personnel. There was twelve
personnel on each boat. The mission was not to kill people.
The mission was to sink those boats. And when they
(25:18):
went back after that, second time on September third, it
was to sink that boat because it was still afloat.
It's people's lives are not the issue here. The issue
was sinking this, all these drugs to the bottom of
the ocean that were headed for the United States.
Speaker 1 (25:37):
Chuck, mate, I Phil, you hit the nail right on
the head. And that's you know, and that's Hexas's arguments.
I'm telling you, that's Admiral Bradley's argument. He goes, look,
I was given an order. This is what Bradley's saying,
and he said, it's a lawful order. Obviously, we've got
very dangerous drugs coming into the United States. It's it's
(26:00):
a drug war. The cartels are waging a war and
they want to kill as many Americans as possible. We're
given an order now to destroy the drug boats, and
we launched a missile. It didn't thoroughly destroy the boat.
It decapitated it. Yes, it incapacitated the boat, but there
(26:21):
was still a good chunk of the boat there. Well,
I want the whole boat at the bottom of the ocean.
That's where the drug should be. And until the boat
is at the bottom of the ocean, the mission isn't accomplished.
So in this case, it took two bombs. And it's
no different Phil that when you order a strike on
terrorists or whatever on a compound or it's been going
(26:43):
on for forever and you go, h first strike, Nah,
didn't quite do it. Okay, launch a second one. But
what's the problem, like, Phil, I mean, this is the
one I've been saying this all morning. No liberal can
respond to this. Where does it say, I want to
know in the law of armed conflict that they keep
(27:03):
sighting that you can't bomb a target a second time,
or a third time or a fourth time. Like, where
does it say you've only got one shot? That's it,
only one You've only got one missile or one bomb
or whatever. And if you don't quite get it, well,
too bad, Too bad. You can't go and take a
(27:24):
second shot. I've never there is no such law. It's
never been done. No military does this, We don't do it.
No one else does it, because it's insane. Phil, am
I wrong us?
Speaker 4 (27:41):
Right? This is what we should have done the second.
If the boat is still afloat, you go back and
think it period paragraph and Pete Hagg's I mean it's
a non entity here. I mean, don't even show up
for the here. And it's ridiculous, ridiculous.
Speaker 1 (27:56):
Phil, thank you very much for that call. It's beyond ridiculed.
I mean, it's what, Pete. That's why I mean, if
the response is like, what, what's the story that was there?
Really like they're like, you know, well, jevern response to
the Washington Post story, They're like, what story? Well that
you launched a second strike? You're not okay? And well
there were there were two survivors, okay, yeah, and they're
(28:22):
foreign terrorists, they're not goll terrorists. Like, okay, all right,
so it took a second bomb. You're what, what's I'm sorry,
what's the point? Well, it's it's it's it's a war crime.
What how is this a war crime? Well? It violates
the law of armed conflict. Where does it violate the
law of armed conflict? Where? Show me where it violates
(28:45):
the law of armed conflict. Well, we're gonna hold hearings now,
and and listen, Mark Kelly's really upset about this, and
so is the one the New York Times and CNN
and Chuck Schumer and and I mean they're all now, heck,
that's got to resign. Why if they didn't blow up
(29:06):
the boat, or if there's a pattern. We're like, guys,
you're shooting at the boats and you're not hitting the boats.
In other words, like there's incompetence. Then I see a
reason and demand maybe that, you know, the resignation the
Secretary of Defense. But they're twelve for twelve. They've targeted
twelve boats and they've taken out all twelve boats. The
(29:29):
media doesn't dispute this, and over eighty terrorists have been killed.
Now eleven of the twelve it was one strike and
that's it. But the first one, it was one strike,
not quite finished. Call in the second strike, and then
it's at the bottom of the sea. So okay, what's
(29:51):
the problem. I'm looking at like, what's the problem? So
that's why they said this is inflammatory, this is a issue.
This is a complete hoax. You're just trying to manufacture
a scandal where literally none exists. It's like saying he
(30:13):
saluted his superior. You're like, okay, no, but why not?
Well the law of arm conflict. Uh, I mean it does.
It's ridiculous. And that's how desperate they are. And I'm
telling you because they know the seditious six is in
deep trouble. They know it, you see, Pete. Hegseeth isn't
(30:37):
playing around. Okay, let me use some crude language. He's
not blanking around. Okay, he's not effing around. Heg Seth
is very serious about a court martial for doctor Evil.
He's very serious about a court martial for Senator Kelly.
(30:59):
So now they've got to paint this guy, I'm not
kidding as a second coming of Adolf Hitler as Himmler,
you know, the men who are ran the SS for
the Nazis. He's the second coming of Hitler. You know,
Himmler in particular war crimes, innocent people, they're paying shop,
they're ping palmed. That's just not who we are. They're
(31:24):
trying to destroy him and discredit him so that he
can't go forward with the court martialing of doctor Evil.
That's what this is all about. And heck Seth, I
hope he now shows us what he's made of. Just
keep going, Pete. If anything, here's what I would do. Really,
(31:45):
you guys want to play these games now, so you
even want to politicize lawful, legitimate strikes on narco terrorists
and trender Ragua. That's what you guys want to do, Okay,
intensify the investigation.
Speaker 3 (32:02):
Now.
Speaker 1 (32:02):
I want you to really go after Kelly. I want
even more investigators on the case. In other words, we're
going to squeeze them and squeeze them and squeeze them.
Andy in Milford agree, disagree. Andy in Milford, thanks for
holding Andy and welcome.
Speaker 6 (32:23):
Good morning, Jeff, Hi, and thank you for taking my call,
my pleasure and I I agree with all the points
you've made one thousand percent, Jeff. We have to have
an adult conversation across the board, all branches of the military,
(32:46):
all levels, about the rules of engagement. First, to start
off domestically, our soldiers, national Guard, otherwise that are on
active duty of end of any kind, every one of
them needs to be armed, at least carrying a side arm.
(33:06):
If that had been the case with Sarah Bestrom, there's
a good chance he would still be alive and healthy today.
If that had been the case with Andrew Wolf, there's
a good chance he would still be healthy today. And also, Jeff,
in Afghanistan, if our forces were not under the rules
(33:28):
of engagement that they were, would I contend that that
whole affair in Afghanistan could have been wrapped up in
ten years, maybe even less. There's no way we would
have even had to have been there twenty years. Okay, Jeff,
moving forward, Now, the purpose of a Department of war
(33:55):
is to kill and take out the enemy. And let's
just be a realistic as far as these drug boats
goes there, Pete Hegseth should just be able to be
abundantly clear. You take out those drug boats, nobody gets
(34:18):
all out of it alive. Period. Everybody is dead. And
that needs to be the message sent around the world
to all these narco terrorists.
Speaker 5 (34:27):
If you engage in.
Speaker 6 (34:31):
Narco terrorism against the United States of America, you all,
every last one are going to be dead.
Speaker 5 (34:39):
Period.
Speaker 1 (34:42):
Oh Andy again, great call. I mean, you're you're completely right. Look,
this is I think what scares a lot of people.
I mean, I mentioned the whole seditious six, the political angle,
and how this is all blowing up into Democrats's face,
and how they hate Hegsath because he's loyal to Trump
and he's really, by the way, dewokeifying the military and
(35:05):
he's purging it of all these Democrats and deep state
traders that were undermining Trump in his first term, so
they really can't stand heg Seth. But on top of
everything else, it's exactly what you just talked about. Heg
Seth is serious about waging the war on drugs in
a way that we're going to win the war on drugs,
(35:28):
you know, you know, in other words, no we can.
You know, it's like, you know, everybody said, no, you know,
you can't get rid of NAFTA. No we just did.
Remember they said you can't secure the border. Remember they
kept saying that over and over again. No, you just
can't do it. You have to pass this comprehensive immigration deal.
And and Trump is like, no, I can secure the border.
(35:49):
Just give me the presidency and I'll secure it. And
you realize it's true. There's there's now what is it now,
five months in a row, there's nobody literally no, oh,
not a single illegal not even one is trickling into
our country. Not one. It's been what five months now,
So it went from twenty million to zero. And it's
(36:12):
all because of will in the White House. So what
you're seeing now, to your point, Andy, is no, we've
got a president and we've got a secretary of defense.
Pardon my French, they're kicking ass, and they're saying to
the drug cartels, now you've got a target on your back,
a real target. You're not bringing in your stuff. Your
(36:33):
cargo is not coming in through land. We've choked you off.
It's not coming in by sea. We've choked you off.
You try to fly it in, we're gonna blow it
out of the sky. And now we're closing in on Maduro,
who's one of your biggest backers, so we're choking him
out as well. So you know what, send your product
(36:54):
somewhere else. It's not welcome anymore in the United States.
And people are like, oh my god, I mean, you know.
In other words, Trump and Hegseth are proving we can
fight and win our wars that directly impact the United
States and the American people. That's that's why they have
(37:14):
to stop him. That's why they're going crazy. Andy, I've
got to ask you this before I let you go.
What do you think now is going to happen regarding
the build up that we're seeing regarding Venezuela. Eleven warships
(37:34):
now have been sent right across in the waters, right
across from Venezuela. Fifteen thousand US troops are now poised
potentially to invade. There's a marine expeditionary force ready for
an amphibious invasion. Trump is now told everybody around the
world we're shutting down air traffic over Venezuela. Don't send
(37:57):
a plane because it could get blown out of the sky.
Meduro is convinced that we're on the verge of a
war and that Trump is going to launch a regime
change war. What say you, Andy?
Speaker 6 (38:14):
All the build up Jeff points to that, And here's
my hope. If we do have a regime change and
get rid of Maduro. I hope that free and fair
elections are secured in Venice Whalea, so that the Venice
(38:36):
Whalen people will be able to send the message to Maduro,
his party and all his apparatchets we're done with you,
and they'll be able to make the change.
Speaker 1 (38:50):
Andy, thank you very much for that call. What I'm
praying for, fingers crossed. You can't see me, but I'm actually,
you know, crossing my fingers, is that this is Trump
art of the deal.
Okay. Text line is it's going nuclear. I mean it's
it is on fire. Seven zero four seven zero seven
zero four seven zero. This is from nine to one seven. Jeff.
It is truly remarkable to see how the media and
the Democrats are in an uproar crying over the bombing,
(00:27):
oh sorry, over the second bombing of a boat that
initially killed nine out of the eleven crew members, and
the second one killed the last two. It is truly
utterly remarkable how the media can take something so small
and turn it into something so big. That's what they do.
(00:50):
That's propaganda, and that's what they excel at. This is
from Larry in Arkansas, and I think Larry, he makes
an excellent point. He says, Jeff, so let me get
this straight. The first bomb kills nine, and that's okay.
Then the second bomb kills the last two two more,
(01:14):
and it's a war crime, Like, does this make any sense?
And then he continues, and I think this is a
brilliant point, Jeff. President Trump and Secretary of Defense Hex
Seth have committed a cardinal sin. They have now shown
irrefutably that the quote unquote war on drugs was a farce,
(01:40):
a corrupt moneymaker for the government. Bingo, that's one of
their cardinal sins. Because for how many decades has our
government been telling us, Oh, yeah, we're fighting the drugs,
the drug dealers, the drug traffickers, We're fighting them tooth
and nail. We're doing everything we can. And of course
(02:02):
they were doing little to nothing. Along comes Trump and
in less than a year he has completely sealed and
secured the border. He's cut a deal with China that
they will no longer be sending fentanyl or the ingredients
used to make fentanyl to the Mexican drug cartels. He's
(02:23):
choking off the cartels. He's blowing up their boats in
the Caribbean. So the fentanyl, the cocaine, the heroine, the meth,
it's not coming in through the southern border. We've cut
that off. It's not coming in through the northern border.
We've cut that off. And now it's not even coming
(02:44):
through the seas and through the waterways because we're cutting
that off. In other words, for the first time since Reagan,
we have a real war on drugs and we're winning.
We're winning. And all it took was some willpower and
(03:04):
some determination. Six two six six sixty eight sixty eight,
John in Raynham, Thanks for holding John, and welcome Jeff.
Speaker 2 (03:16):
Thank you so much for taking my call. Much unbelievable.
I'm gonna first start off by saying I'm not gonna
use any cuss words. Okay, so I'll be careful on that.
But where is the insertive cuss word here? And then
in I inng the outrage of the War Crimes Committee
against our own citizens, allowed by and probably orchestrated by
(03:37):
the demon rats I call them not democrats, demon rats. Secondly,
the guy Kelly there after Trump's after me trying to
kill me Jesez. There wasn't such an outrage where Trump
was shot and other attempts on his life. That's okay.
I feel we need to have some moabs. This is
not being aggressive, not to be hurtful to people, you know,
(03:58):
the demon rats side and more abstinent for more over
outstanding a American and be banned together, more upstanding Americans banded
together as a large group and take our country back.
What's their use, sir John.
Speaker 1 (04:13):
It's happening already and you're starting to see it now.
The country, look, the country senses We've got maybe one
last chance to fix the mess that Obama and it's
really Obama who is the mastermind. But what Obama, Biden
and the radical Democrats have done. And look, let's be honest,
(04:35):
the Republicans in Congress are useless. You either forget about
them because they're not going to deliver. It's obvious. So
basically it's the Trump team with the American people. We're
the only ones. Now we're gonna have to carry this
country on our shoulders and restore it. And look, we've
got the economy has to turn around. He needs that
(04:58):
for the midterms. If he can get the economy to
turn around, and I think he will. Everything that Trump
is doing is going to take care of itself. The
mass deportations are going to continue. He's not going to
stop the border. The invasion will is going to be
blocked off. So the invasion will now be stopped. He's
(05:20):
now got the drug traffickers on the run. The drug
cartels are on the run. So he's breaking the back
of the drug cartels. So you know, whether it's immigration,
whether it's drugs, whether it's these trade deals, now he's
fixing every single one of them. You know, I said
this to Grace last night. We're looking at twenty twenty
(05:44):
trillion dollars in investment that he's now locked in, just
in the first eight months of his presidency, investing here
in the United States, artificial intelligence, manufacturing, tech, you name it.
I mean, the country is gonna boom. He's rebuilt our military.
(06:05):
Inflation now thankfully, is starting. It's gotta go down a
lot more. Don't get me wrong, but no, you can
tell inflation is cooling off. It is starting to go down. Look,
we got to get rid of your own Powell. He's it.
Can't get rid of that guy fast enough. He's killing
us on the economy. He's killing us now. His term
(06:26):
ends in March. So no matter what, he's gone, and
it looks like it's gonna be Kevin Hassett, by the way,
who's gonna replace Powell. He's gonna be an incredible fed chair.
He's gonna drive the interest rates down. You're gonna see
the housing market boom. Banks are gonna start lending money.
Credit is gonna flow. So look, the fundamentals are all there.
(06:51):
We just need another two and a half three years
for him to complete what we started. We've got to
get over the mid terms and look, John, you may
disagree with me, which is fine. I'm starting to think
we got a nuke to fulibuster because that way we
get election integrity. We can stop the Democrats from potentially
(07:14):
stealing elections. And if we can do that, we're gonna
win the midterms. And if we win the midterms, I
think we're going to permanently defeat the left. Six one
seven two sixty six, sixty eight sixty eight is the number. Okay,
I know we've asked it earlier, but let me reask
(07:35):
it again. It is the Kooner Country Poll. Question of
the Day sponsored by Marios Marios Quality Roofing, siding and Windows.
Was the second strike on the narco terrorist drug vote
last September in the in the Caribbean by the US
(07:57):
military a war crime? In your view? Was that second strike?
It was a trender Aragua vote narco terrorist vote in September,
actly September second in the Caribbean by the US military.
Was it a war crime? The left says yes. The
(08:20):
Democrats are screaming, Hegseth is a war criminal. The media
is screaming, Hegseth is a war criminal. I say, these
people are utterly insane, but that's me A yes, B no.
You can vote on our web page wrko dot com
slash Cooner wrko dot com slash cooner kuh And is
(08:46):
a national er. You can also vote via x my handle.
There all one word at the Kooner Report. At the
Cooner Report, kuh Ner, Jim in Florida. Thanks for holding Jim,
and welcome.
Speaker 3 (09:05):
Oh Hi, good morning, jap Hi, Jim Hi. I wanted
to call in and make a point of a similar
scenario that happened in World War Two with the US.
The name of the ship is the USS Wahoo, a submarine,
and their commander Dudley Morton. Basically, the submarine shot a sank,
(09:29):
a Japanese troop ship, and then shot the prisoners. Not
the prisoners, I'm sorry the people that the soldiers, the
troops in the water. And not only did they do that,
they filmed it. You can actually see it on YouTube.
But and the and the guy's name was Dudley Morton,
(09:51):
and they asked him, well, why did you you know,
why did you do it? He wasn't punished. He did
it because if you let them, if you let them
survive and go back to fighting, they're gonna they're just
going to continue fighting and kill Americans. And these these
people in the drug boats, they're they're going to do
(10:13):
the same thing. They're just going to kill Americans and
they don't care, you know, So as a like a
historical precedent, I don't think he's a war criminal. It's
just this whole thing is stupid. It's just a deflection
to you know, keeping themselves out of trouble.
Speaker 1 (10:32):
I agree, Jim, it's a manufactured scandal. It's fabricated. They're
just making it up. They're making up something into I mean,
not that it happened, It happened, but what I mean
is they're turning something that is perfectly normal, that is
completely ordinary, that is just literally part of a military mission,
and they're trying to make something out of nothing. They're
(10:54):
trying to it's a hoax. It's another full Democrats scandal.
They're trying to manufacture and fabricate something, you know, being
somehow wrong or evil or remoral, when the exact opposite
is true. It was completely lawful. It was exactly what
you do in a military mission. And you know, look
(11:17):
just so that people understand, you know, these aren't people
who just go on a boat and then drop off
some you know, kilos of cocaine. This is trend or
a ragua. These are the people that go around, you know,
with machetes with guns, terrorizing Americans and apartment complexes in Colorado.
(11:37):
And they're the rivals of MS thirteen. I mean, these
are sadistic killers. Yes, they also go on boats and
transport drugs, but they're part of the drug cartels, they're
part of the drug traffickers. They're an international criminal terrorist network.
They're mass murderers and psychopaths. So you know, really it
(12:03):
would be like eleven members of ISIS are on a
boat and they're smuggling drugs into the United States and
we blow up the boat and some of it still survives,
and there's two of them, you know, nine are dead
and two are still whatever, clinging to the remains of
the boat. No one would be saying, oh, well, oh
you shouldn't have taken that second shot. You'd say, yeah,
(12:24):
they're I sister terrorists. Take them out. We do that
all over the world with like what's wrong with people?
Like what's wrong with everybody? That's exactly what happened here.
So no, if they want to die on this hill, Jim.
If they want to defend narco terrorists, if they want
(12:45):
to defend trend or Ragua, if they want to defend
cocaine traffickers and drug smugglers, let them. That's another eighty
twenty eighty five point fifteen issue. And if i'm Pete
Haig Seth, I go. I'll come in front of your committee,
no problem. No, no, We're not going to do it
in a skiff. I'm gonna be under oath with the cameras,
(13:09):
and I want to expose each and every one of you.
So you want us to let in the drugs, you
want us to let in trender Aragua. What we're supposed
to let them?
Speaker 4 (13:20):
See? What?
Speaker 3 (13:20):
So?
Speaker 1 (13:21):
A they're going to be eaten by the sharks. So
what am I supposed to do? Stand there and allow
them to be eaten by sharks? Or I could blow
them out of the water right now and basically put
an end to their misery. So A, what we did
was a much more humanitarian and compassionate. But B what
am I supposed to do? Let them potentially swim away?
If they get away, and then what so they can
kill more Americans? Well, you know, and Hollywood that's not
(13:47):
how it's portrayed in the movies. Yeah, I don't live
in Hollywood. I live in the real world. War is
ugly and nasty. That's what war is. That's why it's
always a last resort. And if you're going to wage
a war, you do it exactly the way they're doing
it now, with overwhelming lethal power. You end this and
(14:12):
you end it fast, because ironically, that's how you save
more lives. Jim, thank you so much for that call. Agree, disagree,
Russ in Boston, thanks for holding Russ and welcome.
Speaker 5 (14:28):
Give me a break. How low can they go undermining
needed military operations. Let's face it. Control freaks love people
on drugs. They're easy to brainwash in control. That's why
they don't want to stop the flow of drugs. Let's
face it. Any member of the United States Senate are
Congress that's a veteran and does not speak out against
(14:50):
undermining military operations are turncoats. They are turncoasts. They're turncoasts.
They're turncoats. And in Massachusetts, the Democrats voters love turn
coach like John Kerry and Seth Milton. Okay, let's face
it all right, let's tell like it is job run
for the Democratic Party is create chaos, divide, conquer, and control.
(15:13):
That is their goal. They don't care about freedom of
the United States of America. That's all they want to do.
If we're an honest media in this country, President Trump
would have an eighty percent approval rating. And Jeff, I
want to say this for all sincerity. Headset is the
GI's secretary of Defense. Vince is the GI's vice president,
(15:36):
the GI's vice president. And they are great leaders. They
are the kind of leaders that I've been waiting for
for the last sixty years. And when I see Headset
do pt with the troops and Viance put on fatigues
and fire a few rounds on the rifle range, I
love them in a non sexual way. You don't know
how much I cherished them, Jeff, believe me when I
(15:58):
say it.
Speaker 1 (15:58):
You know Rush, Look you you served multiple tours in Vietnam.
To me, you're a patriot, a hero. I can never
thank you enough for your service. And I just want
to ask you this because Sandy and I were discussing
this during the break. I can literally count on one
hand times where soldiers and I'm going back now we're
(16:19):
talking Vietnam, Rock, Afghanistan, Vietnam, Korea, World War II, World
War One. I could go on and on where American
soldiers defied an order. You can literally count it on
one hand. And one of them was any Rock, whereby
they were told to deliver some oil or gasoline to
(16:42):
a particular location and they said no. And the reason
why they said no not that they disagree with the mission,
but they were given such faulty equipment that if they
went into their equipment, the equipment would blow up and
they'd all die. And so the military did an investigation
and they were completely exonerated. But you know, we're talking
about literally a handful. So for these seditious six to
(17:08):
pu you know, post a video and say, oh, you
have to defy an unlawful order. Six one seven two six,
six sixty eight sixty eight is the number. Okay, let's
go right back to Russ in Boston. Russ as a
Vietnam War vet, I've got to ask you, you look
(17:28):
at our history. You can count practically on one hand
the number of times troops have disobeyed an order saying
it's in illegal or an unlawful order. A few times
they have been court martialed severely court martialed. A couple
of times. I mentioned the example before the break an Iraq,
(17:49):
they were like, we want to deliver the oil and
the gas that you guys are asking us to deliver,
but literally the equipment is so bad. We get into
these you know, whatever it was vehicle, we're gonna get
blown up. Like literally, it's just going to blow up.
And so when they did an investigation, they said, no, okay,
you were right. You know, no, you made the right decision.
(18:10):
It's you know, it's not a suicide pack to join
the military. My larger question to you, Russ is this,
you're a warrior. You know many other warriors do they
need to be reminded? Did you need to be constantly
reminded by these clowns in the Senate and in the House,
(18:31):
these six Democrats or people like them, that you know,
if there's an unlawful order, you should disobey it. They're
acting as if the US military issues unlawful orders every day,
that this is frequent, it happens often, and that somehow
(18:53):
people who serve in the military, RUSS, people like you,
you just don't know the uniform military code of justice.
You guys just don't know what's lawful and unlawful. What
say you RUSS.
Speaker 5 (19:09):
One, code, duty, honor and country. Okay, and we do
we do the right thing. Now in the event this question,
you'll be court martialed. And if you truly carried out
in order that was not honorable, okay, then you'll be
court martialed. So you will have your day in court
(19:30):
without without question. But to make blanket statements like this
really t me off, Jeff to no end. You know, Jeff,
I'd like to say something which I've never said over
the year before, but in the little time to say it. Okay,
As you well know, I'm a Vietnam vet. Okay, I
feel the mistakes we made in Vietnam. First of all,
I believe it, and I can't prove this, But if
(19:52):
President Kennedy was the president when it came time to
introduce combat troops, everything would have been much different. Okay.
The first thing he would have done was also, at
the same time apply the principle of the of the
uh oh God was my head right now of the
Peace Corps. Okay. Now, just to think if initially we
(20:15):
had bomb Dollar Ports, mine Dollar Harbors, a major attack
on Hnoway, and at the same time took the Peace
Corps in a large way and started building our way
from the from the Mekong Delta north. And we could
have done a much better job in winning the hots
and minds of the Vietnamese people and gave them a
(20:37):
will to fight, no difference from the Ukrainians or the
Poors or any other country that are dealing with the Russians. Okay,
there's no question on my mind we could have win
the hats and minds and when much easier to uh
to be successful in the Choi program, which was a
program to get them to come to our side. Okay,
(20:59):
we could have and really successful in that. And then look,
the Vietnamese people do all the combat, and Jeff, there's
no question any Vietnam bet that served in country can
tell you it was the toughest place to fight a
ground war with the jungles, the swamps, the mosquitoes, and
the insurgents. First enough, forget the insurgents, Okay, it was
(21:21):
a tough place to butt in any general. Okay, that
didn't advise the president of what a mistake he would
be to concentrate on the land war without applying a
principal of peace Corps was stupid, and unfortunately, fifty eight
thousand Americans died, another quarter of a million came back wounded,
(21:42):
and basically that could have been avoided, maybe would have
only had maybe five thousand casualties or something. Okay, if
it had been prosecuted, much better. But Alas, remember one thing,
the principle of keeping the commune said they that's what
I'm most proud of. I'm proud of the time I
spent in Vietnam, the time that I spent in Germany's
(22:03):
the communist Okay, And I'll say one of the things, Jeff,
my dream team in twenty twenty eight is JD. Vance
as president and Maco Rabia as their vice president. I
want to say this, I've always thought Macol Rabia, because
you're an anti communist just like wee, that's probably going.
Speaker 1 (22:20):
To be the ticket. Russ. I mean, if you look
at the polls now and what the base wants that,
you know, in terms of a primary, it's going to
be JD. Van's number one, Rubio number two. So that's
probably what it's going to end up being. Russ. Look,
I agree with you. Communism was the enemy and people
like you that served in Vietnam. You played a key
(22:42):
part in winning the Cold War. There's no question, no question,
and I think humanity owes our Vietnam vets like you
a huge debt of gratitude. Russ, thanks again, my friend.
Six one seven two six six sixty eight sixty eight. Look,
it's due, honor, country. That's what our military stands for.
(23:05):
And what they're trying to imply, not imploying it. They're
saying it is that under Trump, our military does not
have duty, honor, and country. And that is disgusting. Again,
it's deliberate, it's sabotage, it's it's it's treason. And they're
trying to foment disruption. They're trying to fament sedition, they're
(23:27):
trying to foment an insurrection. So they know exactly what
they're doing because they can't stand the fact that Kamala
Harris lost and Donald Trump won. This is all about
them not accepting the fact that Trump is President of
the United States. He won, they lost. Six one seven
two six six sixty eight sixty eight. Phil in the
(23:50):
Great State of North Carolina, Thanks for holding Phil and welcome.
Speaker 4 (23:57):
Thanks jeff I appreciate you taking my call. The last
time we spoke was during Hurricane Leen when you helped
me out with Maridith's first I'll never forget it.
Speaker 1 (24:06):
Oh my pleasure, Phil, I take it. Everything is okay,
everything has been settled.
Speaker 4 (24:10):
Well, it's coming along. The city has got a long
way to go, but we're coming back. Regarding regarding today's situation,
two points that the issue with the Democrats is that
boat which was sunk on September third, and if I'm
not mistaken, I think that was the second time we'd
(24:32):
made a hit. Okay, all this time has expired. That
Deminish six came out with their statement about following artists.
They go back to September third, Oh, there were two
people killed. So now we're going to make this a
political uh football, which they have done. My second point
(24:55):
is this, and I think is the most important, this
ACTI which took place, and I think the twelve boats
that have been sung, the mission was to sink those
boats carrying drugs. It wasn't about personnel. There was twelve
personnel on each boat. The mission was not to kill people.
The mission was to sink those boats. And when they
(25:18):
went back after that, second time on September third, it
was to sink that boat because it was still afloat.
It's people's lives are not the issue here. The issue
was sinking this, all these drugs to the bottom of
the ocean that were headed for the United States.
Speaker 1 (25:37):
Chuck, mate, I Phil, you hit the nail right on
the head. And that's you know, and that's Hexas's arguments.
I'm telling you, that's Admiral Bradley's argument. He goes, look,
I was given an order. This is what Bradley's saying,
and he said, it's a lawful order. Obviously, we've got
very dangerous drugs coming into the United States. It's it's
(26:00):
a drug war. The cartels are waging a war and
they want to kill as many Americans as possible. We're
given an order now to destroy the drug boats, and
we launched a missile. It didn't thoroughly destroy the boat.
It decapitated it. Yes, it incapacitated the boat, but there
(26:21):
was still a good chunk of the boat there. Well,
I want the whole boat at the bottom of the ocean.
That's where the drug should be. And until the boat
is at the bottom of the ocean, the mission isn't accomplished.
So in this case, it took two bombs. And it's
no different Phil that when you order a strike on
terrorists or whatever on a compound or it's been going
(26:43):
on for forever and you go, h first strike, Nah,
didn't quite do it. Okay, launch a second one. But
what's the problem, like, Phil, I mean, this is the
one I've been saying this all morning. No liberal can
respond to this. Where does it say, I want to
know in the law of armed conflict that they keep
(27:03):
sighting that you can't bomb a target a second time,
or a third time or a fourth time. Like, where
does it say you've only got one shot? That's it,
only one You've only got one missile or one bomb
or whatever. And if you don't quite get it, well,
too bad, Too bad. You can't go and take a
(27:24):
second shot. I've never there is no such law. It's
never been done. No military does this, We don't do it.
No one else does it, because it's insane. Phil, am
I wrong us?
Speaker 4 (27:41):
Right? This is what we should have done the second.
If the boat is still afloat, you go back and
think it period paragraph and Pete Hagg's I mean it's
a non entity here. I mean, don't even show up
for the here. And it's ridiculous, ridiculous.
Speaker 1 (27:56):
Phil, thank you very much for that call. It's beyond ridiculed.
I mean, it's what, Pete. That's why I mean, if
the response is like, what, what's the story that was there?
Really like they're like, you know, well, jevern response to
the Washington Post story, They're like, what story? Well that
you launched a second strike? You're not okay? And well
there were there were two survivors, okay, yeah, and they're
(28:22):
foreign terrorists, they're not goll terrorists. Like, okay, all right,
so it took a second bomb. You're what, what's I'm sorry,
what's the point? Well, it's it's it's it's a war crime.
What how is this a war crime? Well? It violates
the law of armed conflict. Where does it violate the
law of armed conflict? Where? Show me where it violates
(28:45):
the law of armed conflict. Well, we're gonna hold hearings now,
and and listen, Mark Kelly's really upset about this, and
so is the one the New York Times and CNN
and Chuck Schumer and and I mean they're all now, heck,
that's got to resign. Why if they didn't blow up
(29:06):
the boat, or if there's a pattern. We're like, guys,
you're shooting at the boats and you're not hitting the boats.
In other words, like there's incompetence. Then I see a
reason and demand maybe that, you know, the resignation the
Secretary of Defense. But they're twelve for twelve. They've targeted
twelve boats and they've taken out all twelve boats. The
(29:29):
media doesn't dispute this, and over eighty terrorists have been killed.
Now eleven of the twelve it was one strike and
that's it. But the first one, it was one strike,
not quite finished. Call in the second strike, and then
it's at the bottom of the sea. So okay, what's
(29:51):
the problem. I'm looking at like, what's the problem? So
that's why they said this is inflammatory, this is a issue.
This is a complete hoax. You're just trying to manufacture
a scandal where literally none exists. It's like saying he
(30:13):
saluted his superior. You're like, okay, no, but why not?
Well the law of arm conflict. Uh, I mean it does.
It's ridiculous. And that's how desperate they are. And I'm
telling you because they know the seditious six is in
deep trouble. They know it, you see, Pete. Hegseeth isn't
(30:37):
playing around. Okay, let me use some crude language. He's
not blanking around. Okay, he's not effing around. Heg Seth
is very serious about a court martial for doctor Evil.
He's very serious about a court martial for Senator Kelly.
(30:59):
So now they've got to paint this guy, I'm not
kidding as a second coming of Adolf Hitler as Himmler,
you know, the men who are ran the SS for
the Nazis. He's the second coming of Hitler. You know,
Himmler in particular war crimes, innocent people, they're paying shop,
they're ping palmed. That's just not who we are. They're
(31:24):
trying to destroy him and discredit him so that he
can't go forward with the court martialing of doctor Evil.
That's what this is all about. And heck Seth, I
hope he now shows us what he's made of. Just
keep going, Pete. If anything, here's what I would do. Really,
(31:45):
you guys want to play these games now, so you
even want to politicize lawful, legitimate strikes on narco terrorists
and trender Ragua. That's what you guys want to do, Okay,
intensify the investigation.
Speaker 3 (32:02):
Now.
Speaker 1 (32:02):
I want you to really go after Kelly. I want
even more investigators on the case. In other words, we're
going to squeeze them and squeeze them and squeeze them.
Andy in Milford agree, disagree. Andy in Milford, thanks for
holding Andy and welcome.
Speaker 6 (32:23):
Good morning, Jeff, Hi, and thank you for taking my call,
my pleasure and I I agree with all the points
you've made one thousand percent, Jeff. We have to have
an adult conversation across the board, all branches of the military,
(32:46):
all levels, about the rules of engagement. First, to start
off domestically, our soldiers, national Guard, otherwise that are on
active duty of end of any kind, every one of
them needs to be armed, at least carrying a side arm.
(33:06):
If that had been the case with Sarah Bestrom, there's
a good chance he would still be alive and healthy today.
If that had been the case with Andrew Wolf, there's
a good chance he would still be healthy today. And also, Jeff,
in Afghanistan, if our forces were not under the rules
(33:28):
of engagement that they were, would I contend that that
whole affair in Afghanistan could have been wrapped up in
ten years, maybe even less. There's no way we would
have even had to have been there twenty years. Okay, Jeff,
moving forward, Now, the purpose of a Department of war
(33:55):
is to kill and take out the enemy. And let's
just be a realistic as far as these drug boats
goes there, Pete Hegseth should just be able to be
abundantly clear. You take out those drug boats, nobody gets
(34:18):
all out of it alive. Period. Everybody is dead. And
that needs to be the message sent around the world
to all these narco terrorists.
Speaker 5 (34:27):
If you engage in.
Speaker 6 (34:31):
Narco terrorism against the United States of America, you all,
every last one are going to be dead.
Speaker 5 (34:39):
Period.
Speaker 1 (34:42):
Oh Andy again, great call. I mean, you're you're completely right. Look,
this is I think what scares a lot of people.
I mean, I mentioned the whole seditious six, the political angle,
and how this is all blowing up into Democrats's face,
and how they hate Hegsath because he's loyal to Trump
and he's really, by the way, dewokeifying the military and
(35:05):
he's purging it of all these Democrats and deep state
traders that were undermining Trump in his first term, so
they really can't stand heg Seth. But on top of
everything else, it's exactly what you just talked about. Heg
Seth is serious about waging the war on drugs in
a way that we're going to win the war on drugs,
(35:28):
you know, you know, in other words, no we can.
You know, it's like, you know, everybody said, no, you know,
you can't get rid of NAFTA. No we just did.
Remember they said you can't secure the border. Remember they
kept saying that over and over again. No, you just
can't do it. You have to pass this comprehensive immigration deal.
And and Trump is like, no, I can secure the border.
(35:49):
Just give me the presidency and I'll secure it. And
you realize it's true. There's there's now what is it now,
five months in a row, there's nobody literally no, oh,
not a single illegal not even one is trickling into
our country. Not one. It's been what five months now,
So it went from twenty million to zero. And it's
(36:12):
all because of will in the White House. So what
you're seeing now, to your point, Andy, is no, we've
got a president and we've got a secretary of defense.
Pardon my French, they're kicking ass, and they're saying to
the drug cartels, now you've got a target on your back,
a real target. You're not bringing in your stuff. Your
(36:33):
cargo is not coming in through land. We've choked you off.
It's not coming in by sea. We've choked you off.
You try to fly it in, we're gonna blow it
out of the sky. And now we're closing in on Maduro,
who's one of your biggest backers, so we're choking him
out as well. So you know what, send your product
(36:54):
somewhere else. It's not welcome anymore in the United States.
And people are like, oh my god, I mean, you know.
In other words, Trump and Hegseth are proving we can
fight and win our wars that directly impact the United
States and the American people. That's that's why they have
(37:14):
to stop him. That's why they're going crazy. Andy, I've
got to ask you this before I let you go.
What do you think now is going to happen regarding
the build up that we're seeing regarding Venezuela. Eleven warships
(37:34):
now have been sent right across in the waters, right
across from Venezuela. Fifteen thousand US troops are now poised
potentially to invade. There's a marine expeditionary force ready for
an amphibious invasion. Trump is now told everybody around the
world we're shutting down air traffic over Venezuela. Don't send
(37:57):
a plane because it could get blown out of the sky.
Meduro is convinced that we're on the verge of a
war and that Trump is going to launch a regime
change war. What say you, Andy?
Speaker 6 (38:14):
All the build up Jeff points to that, And here's
my hope. If we do have a regime change and
get rid of Maduro. I hope that free and fair
elections are secured in Venice Whalea, so that the Venice
(38:36):
Whalen people will be able to send the message to Maduro,
his party and all his apparatchets we're done with you,
and they'll be able to make the change.
Speaker 1 (38:50):
Andy, thank you very much for that call. What I'm
praying for, fingers crossed. You can't see me, but I'm actually,
you know, crossing my fingers, is that this is Trump
art of the deal.

We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today.
